Law x Nami
'May we intertwine our past, present and future as one letting them only see the front we hold, our darkness blending into one another revealing our harmony'
Bepo looked at the scene in front of him with a confused expression, Penguin and Shachi were currently sat at their dining table with frowns on their faces, hands on the heads. It brought his best friend Law in a state he hadnt seen before since he had heard from the man's uncle the story about his adoptive father, he was becoming obsessed staying up late thinking as were the other two who were determined to help their friend because of the small object currently sitting on the middle of the table, the centre of the problem.
A elegant white skull masked stared up at them.
"Guys maybe you should rest"he said taking a seat.
"We have to find her, you should of seen it Bepo, he was different but a good different. The way they dance, she had perfect control of his darkness like she understood it able to bend it to her will, Law was able to drop that mask he always wears since that day"Shachi said with a sigh laying his head on the table, glaring at the mask.
Penguin nodded with a sigh as he rubbed his face, Bepo let out a sigh as he picked up the mask, it was a shame he had fallen sick and after hearing the tale from Penguin and Shachi he too wanted to meet this girl who had put a spell on Law also see the dancing skills, he like the others were sure that Law had told them he could not dance at all. In his eyes this was a beautiful mask and remembered he had brought it for Law knowing his friend would not remember or dare to buy something like this, he only put a surgeon's mask on his face and that was it, nothing else.
Suddenly he stood up quickly with a smile, the chair sliding back and smashing into the wall, they all gulped thinking of how to explain this to Law who would not be happy about his chair being broken but Bepo shook his head as he looked at the mask.
"You said her mask looked almost identical to his right?"he asked.
"Yeah, same twists and twirls"Penguin replied getting up slowly as was Shachi seeing their friend had some idea going on in that mind.
"Why?"Shachi asked.
"When I brought all your masks, I couldn't find the right single mask for Law but then the women had told me she had another mask, she said that a women had come in and only wanted the female mask of the pair, she still had the males. Because you say they were identical, their masks might be a pair meaning she brought the mask from the same place I got Law's mask, we can go ask the owner of the shop if she knows anything"Bepo explained letting out a breath he had been holding.
"YES!"Penguin and Shachi shouted tackling Bepo into a hug.
In a mad rush, they grabbed their coats and keys before flying out of the apartment, Bepo holding onto the mask with his life. It was only Law that owned a car so the three had to walk to the city centre which was about an hour away, they didn't mind as the walk to the city centre passed through a small park near their apartment was divine sight, they were determined to find this women for Law. The man in question was currently at work while the three had the day off, it was Bepo leading them as he was the only one who had been to the shop, they were all excited as they could soon see the city centre and their footsteps moving quicker than before but soon they had broke out into a sprint were they now were running.
"There it is!"Bepo shouted with a smile as he pointed.
They rushed to the shop and were about to go through the door when another group who had come from the opposite direction had the same idea to rush through same door, they all crashed into one another as they tumbled through the door. Two objects flying into the air and landing on the floor, they grabbed one and Penguin grabbed the other, both were placed onto the counter but soon Penguin,Shachi and Bepo noticed the mask they had put down was not theirs but a white females mask they turned to the other next to them and saw they had placed their mask down while looking at the female mask.
"HEY!"they all shouted.
Laughing could be heard so they all turned their heads to find the owner of the shop, Boa Hancock with her hand over her mouth as she tried to control her laughter. She had seen both groups running outside and was surprised they had all tried to fit through her small door, seeing them like that had made her day. Once her laughter died, she turned to the masks on her counter and raised her eyebrows before picking them both up to look closely at them then turned to the groups.
"Can I help?"she asked.
"We want to find the matching mask to ours"
Bepo, Penguin and Shachi looked at the other three men who were currently looking at them, they asked at the same time and this caused Boa Hancock to chuckle, placing the masks down with a smile, she leaned onto the counter watching as the men were about to argue as they all did, she could never understand the male kind and that was why she preferred female attention and company.
"Well you lot are in luck because these masks belong together as a pair, one of a kind, nothing in the world like them"she said.
"Really?"Bepo asked shocked looking between the masks.
"You sure lady?"the youngest man asked from the other group, with a raised eyebrow, not believing the women standing in front of him.
With a nod, Boa Hancock left them to tend to her other masks in the display cabinet on the right, all six men were quiet still staring at the masks before they turned to Boa Hancock, each one trying to think of a question to ask her as there was no way they had the luck to find the other mask to the mask that they had. A sigh escaping her lips, she pulled a mask out of the case and looked at it before pulling out the cloth in her pocket and began to wipe it thinking about the other day.
"She was medium height, light brown eyes and such beautiful long orange locks running down her back, brought a black dress with a nice dark hue of green revealing elegantly yet dark beautiful designs in with her to find the right mask to match . None of the single female masks caught her eye but that one did though she didnt want it as a pair, paid a nice price just to get it by itself. Got a good eye on her, you described your Surgeon friend as being tall with bright amber eyes and looked like he carried darkness and evil with every step"Boa Hancock said softly as she stopped her hand with the cloth and turned to look at the men.
Bepo turned to Penguin and Shachi, he didnt go to the ball for he had caught the flu and had to stay home on his own while the other three had gone to the ball so he could only go by what he had heard from them what the night was like and what had happened, both of them nodded as that was the description of the women they had seen dancing with Law, that bewitched their friend determined to find her so they turned to the other three guys who were looking at each other.
"Luffy, Franky that sounds just like the man, she was dancing with at the ball no doubt. Defiantly how Zoro described him"
"Usopp is right, sis defiantly described amber eyes to Robin. Amber eyes are rare to see around this place"Franky replied.
Usopp, Luffy and Franky turned to look at Bepo, Penguin and Shachi who were staring at them. Nothing was said between the six men, Boacock watched them carefully as she couldnt read them now like she had done before, Bepo took the male's mask while Luffy took the female's mask yet still no words only silence except...
The ticking from the clock on the wall.
It wasnt long before Boacock had kicked them out of her store, she had given them the information they were looking for, she had other customers who required her attention. Still nothing said between the men but they all had walked together, clutching the two masks in their grips. Stopping within the park, they had all quietly had agreed on a small picnic bench sat no far from the water fountain. Once sat down, Bepo in the middle of Penguin and Shachi on the right side with Luffy in the middle of Franky and Usopp on the left side, masks had been placed onto the table.
Now how was this going to work.
Bepo knew with the other two, they had to find where this women was and how could they get in contact with her for Law. Finding Luffy, Usopp and Franky was great luck and they were on the path that would lead them to this women however would they give them the information and what were their goals in looking for Law. Usopp looked to Franky who staring back at him before they turned to Luffy who was staring at the masks, a frown on his face before taking his strawhat off his head and placing it on the table.
"She carries a dark past with her and it weights her down sometimes, we bring out her happiness and joy reminding to live her life but it still clings to her like a shadow yet your friend brought it out of her and tamed it with his own darkness, she was so happy when we went back home, it was like her darkness wasnt bring her down but raising her up and we all decided, her family that we were going to track this guy down so they could meet again and so we could thank him"Luffy said softly picking up the female mask before turning to Bepo, Penguin and Shachi.
"Yeah sis didnt want to leave but something had come up"
"Please, help us, she means the world to us and the others"Usopp pleaded.
Penguin looked to Shachi, they were shocked to see that these guys were looking for Law with the same reason they were searching for the women, a dark past haunted them and dancing with one another it brought it out in a way that made them happy rather than being sad. They turned to Bepo who had stood up, his hands clenched into fists as he stared to the floor, Penguin was about to say something but their friend brought up his head, tears running down his cheeks yet he was smiling.
"We would be grateful to tell you as your friend brought happiness to our friend, his darkness killed all of his joy in the world but she brought back the warm smile he lost when he was young. Thanking her would mean nothing compared to what she had done so lets join together and bring the two to meet"he said wiping his face with his right arm, the smile still beaming.
"Of course!"Luffy said smiling as he stood up.
Usopp dug out paper and pen, writing down their names with numbers next to them and the name of women they were searching for before tearing a part of it for them to do the same. Once they were done, they exchanged the piece of papers with smiles on their faces before Franky looked down at his watch and stood up quickly and grabbing Luffy and Usopp pulling them out of their seats.
"Sorry but we have to leave, dinners going to be on soon and she will kill us if we are late again. Tangerine glazed duck tonight"Franky explained.
"I am not missing dinner"Luffy shouted as he wiggled out of Franky's grip and ran for his life but waved goodbye to his new friends.
Franky and Usopp both shouted at Luffy who was now becoming a small dot in the distance, they turned to the other the three and told them they would be in contact soon, with goodbyes on their lips, Franky ran carrying Usopp over his shoulder as they were trying to catch up to Luffy. Bepo smiled as they watched before turning to his friends, Law's mask in his grip and the piece of paper in the other hand.
"Robin? Zoro? Usopp? Luffy? Franky? Sanji? Brook? that is a lot of names and numbers"Penguin said looking at the paper.
"So, we got the name, Law is going to be so happy when we show him"Shachi replied grinning.
Nodding Bepo, climbed out of the chair and turned to them, it was time to go home and explain the good news to Law. It was a peaceful walk home and they all felt the need to rush was not needed, they felt more excited when they had spotted Law's car in the space outside the apartment and soon they broke out into a run as they climbed those stairs quickly however they stopped when they noticed their door was slightly opened, Bepo looked at Penguin and Shachi who pulled out a key each, the only weapons they had on them so quietly and carefully they pushed the door open further and stepped in.
It was pitch black and they couldnt see anyone, a bottle slamming into the wall next to them shattered and scared them out of their wits, Penguin and Shachi letting out a scream each.
"Guys?"
A weary voice spoke, Bepo flicked the switch next to him, the room was lit up and they all looked at the scene in front of them. Bottles littered all over the floor, some empty while half empty, the place smelt of alcohol and sitting in the middle of the living room, looking worst for wear with red eyes was their dearest friend, he stood up with a bottle in his right hand and took a swig of the drink before throwing it at the wall.
It shattering causing Penguin and Shachi to flinched as they hid behind Bepo who was now taking slow steps to Law.
"Law what..."Bepo lost for words.
"I saw her, those eyes unforgettable at the hospital"
"So you talked to her?"Penguin asked with a hopefully smile but he lost it when he saw Law's eyes darken.
"I was so stupid to think a beauty like her would be free, she of course would have a family of her own, child and husband"Law spat out before he took a step forward, his body giving out and came crashing to the floor.
"LAW!"
