Chapter 2:
In the center of Dressrosa lies the Thousand Sunny, a tavern that everyone loves and cherish. Built from adam wood, one thing that made the place stand out was the Lion with a stylized orange mane decorated on top. It was the only place in Dressrosa that Law could go to get away from Doflamingo and his idiotic followers and perhaps the only place Doflamingo won't touch as a show of promise to Law.
Entering the tavern, Law's yellow eyes peer over the room in front of him. It always amazes the raven-haired man whenever he enters the place. The floor was literally a lawn inside a building. He didn't understand why they have it inside nor how it is still in good condition. The owners even installed a swing and slide on the second floor making Law wonder why the place is even called a tavern…
Law's train of thought was cut short when he heard yelling in another room, "Luffy get back in here!"
Law jolt when he heard that footsteps getting louder, "Torao!"
Turning to look at the doorway to another room Law saw a blurry silhouette of a young man in blue shorts and sleeveless red vest charging at him. The impact knocks the air out of him causing him to cough a bit.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Law gently pull the younger man apart from him and help straighten the other's straw hat, "Straw hat-ya… As an alpha you should show yourself better in front of people."
Luffy whacks Law's hand away and cross his arms, "Mnn, who cares? As long as I get to smell you, I don't care about what others think."
Law's lip twitch when he heard the word 'smell' from the younger man's lip, "Is that so? Well aren't you selfish…"
"Yup. Thanks for the compliment~" Luffy replied swiftly.
"I didn't even complime- ugh, never mind." Law groan as he rubs the bridge of his nose, "Where is racoon-ya? I'm here to discuss some things with him."
Luffy grins as he points in the direction he came from, "Choppers back there. After you finish talking come upstairs and hangout with the rest of us upstairs Torao."
Before Law could even say a word, Luffy suddenly hugged Law's waist, body going limp, "Ahhhh, come on Torao. Say yes."
"I didn't even say anything yet!" Law retort.
"Mnn." Letting go of Law's waist Luffy and took a phew steps back and pick his nose, "Ah fine. I'll come looking for you in a while."
Law internally slap himself in the face as he thought, "I'm getting out of here as soon as I'm done talking to racoon-ya."

Back at the castle
A tall, light skinned, yet well muscular man stood attentively at the corner of the study room watching his king chuckle to himself like the usual madman he is while also attentively working on the stack of papers that have been piling up since morning. Watching his king carefully, the beard man had to break the silence and asked his king a question that has been on his mind for a while, "I truly don't understand why you continue to have that brat by your side your highness." Hearing his subordinate comment Doflamingo's stop writing, leaving a splotch of ink to sink into the paper he was writing on.
Doflamingo wide smile grew wider as he looked up to reply, "Please Vergo, you can drop the formalities when we're alone and hearing you say that hurts my feelings. I'm sure you understand my reason… You just hate seeing the brat acting all mighty around me."
The other man grunts and looked away in response to Doflamingo's comment, "And that brat should be punished for the way he acts towards you." Doflamingo couldn't help but burst out laughing at that moment. The only time Vergo would act like this was when it involved the brat and Doflamingo couldn't help but reassure his most trusted knight, "No need to fret over it. I assure you that brat does get his daily dose of punishments."
"In bed that is." Vergo remarks.
Vergo's blunt statement only hearten Doflamingo to talk more about the subject. Resting his chin on the palm of his hand Doflamingo had to add, "If you want you can join next time Vergo." If there was anyone Doflamingo was willing to share Law with it was Vergo. Why? It was simply because the relationship between Vergo and Law will never improve and purely because Doflamingo love teasing Law.
Vergo had to reset his sunglasses while his eyebrows furrow closer to one another as it took a few minutes before responding to his king's offer, "Thank you… but I'll pass."
"It's a yes then." Completely ignoring Vergo's own choice Doflamingo swiftly changed the topic as he recalls a task. A simple task that Vergo can't fail, "Starting tomorrow Law is going to go on one of his little herb expeditions again and won't come back for at least a month."
Just mentioning Law again made Vergo annoyed but for the sake of his king's happiness Vergo didn't dare to show his hate for the brat any further than he already has. Sighing, Vergo already knows where the conversation was leading to. He wants Vergo to go look for Law's test results which Law denies the existence of.
This was one of the many things Vergo hated about Law. Law assumes he can underestimate Doflamingo by doing things in a roundabout way and it irritated Vergo to no end.
Vergo interrupted Doflamingo's train of thought as if he knew what Doflamingo was going to say next, "And during this time, you want me to search for his medical documents correct?"
"Indeed."
"Very well."
As Vergo smoothly bowed and walk out of the room Doflamingo recalled one last thing, "And If you find anything else, I'll leave it up to your decisions."
He knew very well that Law was keeping the documents away from him and it irks Doflamingo.
