A/N: Hi guys! So I got rid of the information down below and I started posting this story on AO3 since its easier to post there then here. If yku guys are srill interested in the story please follow me there. I will be updating here, just not as much. Chapter 5 is actually already up on AO3 if you guys are interested. :3

Law hated being woken up, considering he barely got enough sleep as it is. It was always a blessing if he could get at least 3 to 5 hours of sleep without interruptions.

Cora-san knew about that and always kept a silent bubble around them. Them were Cora-san, he and the newest member Rei. So when Law started to wake up from some kind of noise, he knew that somebody out of those two was responsible for it and would pay for disturbing his sleep.

Through as Law sat up and turned his head to glare at the noise maker, his glare soften as he looked at the whimpering in her sleep Rei. She was turning from one side to the other as tears fell from her eyes.

He felt like facepalming. Of course Rei would get nightmares. He even deducted that she would and warned Cora-san about that, but his half sleepy mind was against thinking logically.

Right now he needed to wake Rei up. he got out of his bed and went over to Rei's bed.

"Rei-y-I mean Rei, wake up!" He said shaking her slightly.

The girl was a light sleeper, only when she got around 3 to 4 hours of sleep or fell asleep near morning would she be impossible to wake up. Cora-san was a light sleeper too, but he also had his moments.

Rei whimpered as she shot up, headbutting Law and slowly edging away from him. Her eyes were impossibly wide and her breathing was heavy. She was gasping for air.

"Ow…"Law rubbed his forehead." Rei, did you have to headbutt me?" He asked sarcastically.

Rei didn't move, she even stopped breathing. Just sat there staring wide eyed with tear stains on her face.

"Rei? Look." He touched the sheets."We're at Volff's, no bandits, just you, me, Cora-san and Volff. " He noticed no response only gasping for air….maybe.."Rei, no fire around, smell the clear air, no smell of burning. We're safe." Her nose twitched.

It took a minute or two for Rei to respond."Safe?"

"Safe."

Her body relaxed as her eyes became half lid."L-Law? Did I w-wake you?" She asked stuttering. It's been almost a month since the incident. Her nightmares were a combination of what happened on her island and the bandit incident.

"Yes." He stated bluntly. "You had a nightmare."

"Oh…S-Sorry…" Rei said looking down. She didn't want to wake Law up. She knew he barely got enough sleep as it is. She had these nightmares for a while, but she usually would wake up on her own and silently cry or fall back asleep.

"Don't be."He stated making Rei look up confused." It's normal to have nightmares after something bad happened to you, especially repeatedly."

"…Y-Yeah..." Rei never told them that she didn't have nightmares about her town being on fire and her parents dying…well now she did…all the incidents just piled up into one dream.

Silence…

That's what followed the conversation. Rei didn't know what to say to Law. After the incident she tried to sleep most of the time. The only time she talked to Law was about her injuries. It was awkward talking to him, she was worried that she would annoy him or say something wrong.

"Would you like to go to town tomorrow?"Law asked surprising Rei.

"What?" She asked thinking she misheard.

"Your injuries are healed enough for you to walk without reopening them. You might limp a bit, but that won't last for long." Law told Rei who was still confused as to why Law wanted her to come with him.

"Sure, I would love to go to t-town. I'm kinda t-tired of being here all day and n-night, but why? I-I..Thought you h-hated me?" She asked before flinching. She didn't want to tell him that, it's just kinda came out. I really need to control my blabbing….

Law looked down, his hat shaded his eyes making Rei think she made him mad, again.

"I don't hate you." Law said surprising Rei again."I'm sorry for making you think that.."

"Okay. I'm sorry too, for getting you angry that day." Rei said without stuttering this once.

"….Okay.." That's all Law said before going back under his covers."Goodnight."

"Night Night Law." She chirped feeling happier, before also covering herself with the blanket and trying to fall back asleep. This time without nightmares.

The next morning….

Law and Rei had received permission from Corazon to leave after he made Law triple check Rei's injuries. They also had to ask permission from Volff since the old man was enraged when he found out what happened to Rei and he was gone only for 2 days!

Currently they were walking around town. Law knew the place better than Rei who spent most of her time on this island training in the forest.

"Hey Law, What's that place?" She asked happily as she pointed at a store called Blue Lilly.

"It's a cafe." Law answered her.

"Oooh! Oi Law, can we go there? I want some ice cream!~"She chirped happily gently tugging at Law's hand. Since Corazon didn't want Rei to get lost he told Law and Rei to hold each other's hands which was an adorable sight of an older brother walking with his little sister through town. Also most of the snow had melted away. Law also noticed Rei wasn't limping as much.

Flashback…

He had asked her if her leg hurt, but all she said.

"Oh I'm used to this." He had asked her to elaborate.

"In my old world I was well…hehe…almost as clumsy as Corazon." Law felt dread."I used to walk into walls, hit my shoulder hard against the door, hit my foot against the table or couch, oh and they were a lot of incidents outside where I came back home with bloody legs from bicycle incidents, through racing was involved…so my fault." She said scratching her cheek sheepishly.

Law just hoped she didn't get reborn with her clumsiness…he really hoped so…He doubted he could handle two clumsy disasters….

End Flashback…

"Do we have to?"Law asked really wanting to go to the library already. He saw Rei pouting like Lami used to do making him flinch slightly.

"Please Laaaaw?" She asked stopping her pouting and started to resort to using her puppy dog eyes instead."Ice cream is my fav dessert in the whole wide world. It's a blessing from heaven!~" She said with her eyes sparkling.

"…Fine."Law said with a sigh. Through when Rei turned her back to him to go tug him towards the café, he gave a small smile.

"Law look! There are so many flavors!~ Oh they have my super fav one! Chocolate chip mint flavored ones! Can I have that one Law?" She asked looking at the black haired boy with a wide smile.

"Sure." He said as he walked over to the cashier, Rei stood behind him."Excuse me, we would like to buy two ice creams. A chocolate chip mint one and a strawberry one." He ordered.

"Would you like a table?" Asked the cashier. Law thought for a moment, they wouldn't be allowed to enter the library with Ice cream, so seems like the two would have to eat here.

"Yes. A table for two." He didn't need anybody else sitting down next to them.

The cashier called a waiter."He'll show you to your table."

Law and Rei followed the waiter to a table near the window. Sitting down Rei looked out the window.

Rei wondered where Penguin and Shachi were. She hasn't seen the two around town yet, but maybe fate is just waiting till Law turns 13…Now that Rei thinks her birthday is tomorrow. Turning seven…the irony. Six and seven being the most hated and awful ages of her life back in her old world. Here it's almost the same with having her Island attacked and her parents dying, but instead of being alone she was able to safe Corazon and by the looks of it have a decent relationship with Law. Maybe now we could be friends!

"H…Hey Law?" Rei started feeling nervous, she was never good with making friends. She could barely introduce herself to people without blushing or feeling awkward. Through since Law was child sized it was a bit easier."I wanted to ask you something…" Just spit it out Rei!

Stupid Bread, why is it on our table. Burn it, throw it away, I don't care just get this away from me."What?" Law asked looking at her instead of glaring at the bread that was on their table.

"D-Do you think w-we could be f-friends?" She asked as her hands tighten their grip on her shorts.

"No." Law stated bluntly.

"Oh.." Rei said in a tiny voice feeling crushed on the I should have waited longer before asking….

"You forgot that we're better than friends." Law stated with a smirk on his face. He couldn't wait to see her face.

"Eh?" What? Did I miss something?

"We're siblings."

"EEEEEHHHH?!" Rei's outburst made everybody in the café look at her, she blushed feeling embarrassed, but didn't stop looking at Law with wide deer-caught-in-the-headlights eyes. Wow she was really out of it these past few days.

"Why are you so surprised. Didn't we both admit that Cora-san is like a father to us?"He asked, though Rei saw that instead of a smirk a small smile appeared on his face as he tugged his hat down to cover his eyes slightly.

Rei blinks three times before a giant smile appeared on her face."Right!"

She then said when worry came over her. Did Law WANT her as a sister or was he feeling FORCED to accept her as his sister." But are you sure you want a little sister like m-Ooof"

Law had gotten annoyed by Rei asking such a stupid question so he just put his hat on her head.

"If I didn't want you as a sister I wouldn't have called you my sibling." Law stated.

"Law…your hat." Rei touched the hat on her head. It was so fluffy and warm!

"You can wear it for a little bit, but don't lose it or get it ripped." Law stated seriously.

He must be also protect of it like Luffy is of his hat. Rei thought with a chuckle.

"You can count on me Law-Nii!~" She said extremely happy with a wide smile. Law let a smile appear on his face before turning neutral as a waiter came and gave the two their ice creams and spoons.

Rei and Law thanked the waiter before digging in. Law ate the ice cream at normal speed while Rei….well imagine Luffy and replace meat with ice cream, you get Rei.

Rei finished her ice cream pretty fast, while Law was still only halfway done."Law-Nii, When can I start training again?"

Law gave her a blank look as his eye slightly twitched."Are you serious…" He already knew the answer.

"Of course I am! I can become lazy and turn into you!" She joked with a smirk earning a spoon in the face."Ow!" She rubbed her nose with a pout."Can't take a joke, but no seriously when can I train again? I really do need to get stronger."She stated looking at Law seriously.

"Your body is in no condition to train. Your back is too damaged. You're lucky I treated your wounds as fast as I did. The scars won't be noticeable only if somebody examines your back closely. While your right arm not only was cut, but also burned leaving a permanent scar. I can see how your right arm shakes every time you pick something up. You're right handed so what kind of training can you do with that kind of hand right now?"Law asked Rei who was looking at her right hand.

"I'm not only right handed, I learned how to throw things and write with my left one too!" I knew it'll be useful! "Through its more difficult and I do prefer my right hand, I can still train with my left one and my right one needs to get used to…feeling pain." Rei said quietly the last part, but seeing how Law was glaring at her means he heard her. Shit..

"Is it about the whole…" Future events thing. Nobody needed to voice that.

"Yes…There will be a lot of fight where I could get injured so I need to continue training." Rei told Law who nod his head in understanding.

"You do know if Cora-san finds out about you getting hurt he will never let you out of his sight." Law told Rei who nod knowingly.

"I know. Through Law..You know he…wouldn't have been with us…well you if I didn't change things, so here is a question that has been bothering me. What do you think will happen to Corazon?" Rei asked in a serious voice as her emotionless mask came on again.

Law actually looked surprised before turning serious.

"Hmm, well he wanted to leave this place together with me, and now you. I know he wanted to deliver the information about Dressrosa to a marine base or a trustworthy marine, but after he got me the Op-Op fruit he won't be able to return to being a marine again and he most likely will get arrested…What do you suggest?"

"I think he should go with one of us. You already know I want to join the Strawhat pirate IF I get lucky, while I know you still want to become a pirate." Law nod in agreement.

"So our questions are: Who gets to take Corazon and do you think he would want to become a pirate again?" Law stated as Rei nod her head.

"If not we could always guilt trip him, cause I don't want somebody finding out our connection to him and track him down then use him as a hostage. Its either you or me. Through I would need to talk to Luffy about it first." Rei said tapping her chin. I doubt he'll mind a new crew member….

"Lets see how things will go for now and then talk about this again in a few years, okay?" Law asked since things might change in the future. Rei nod in agreement. The waiter came over and gave the check to Law who paid right away for the ice creams.

The two then left the café.

"So where are we of to? The library?" Asked Rei.

"Yes, I need to borrow some medical books and then we can check the weapon store." Law stated.

"Weapons? Are you looking for a sword?"

"Future knowledge?" Law whispered so that only Rei could hear.

"Yup. I know what kind of sword you had, but I dunno where you got it."

"I see, well you also need to have a sword."

"Wait what!? I'm not good with swords!"

"You need to at least learn SOME basics. What if your unarmed and only got a sword as your weapon. You won't be able to fling it."

"I'll use Mixed arts!"

"Are you honestly trying to get away from learning a useful skill? Aren't you the one who is paranoid and whines about needing to learn a wide range of skills?"

"…Touche." Said Rei. Honestly Rei loved Swordplay…watching swordplay, not participating, nope de do. She wasn't confident enough to try using something as heavy and hard to learn as that. She knew that just waving it around like an idiot will not only embarrass herself, but the sword and all the swordsman around the world…aaaand cause her to get injured…but seeing as Law really did want her to learn a basic amount…I should at least TRY to learn…

"Fine. Through I doubt I'll start carrying around a sword. I don't like having noticeable weapons on my persona."

"Says the one with the bow and arrows."

"First of I don't carry them around these days and second I don't plan on using them, sure I'll keep them, but I doubt I'll use them. I want to focus on Knife throwing and my mixed arts most of all. Plus getting my speed up to at least slightly match my Observation and have a few senbon around."

"Talking about Haki, can you teach it to me?" Law asked Rei who choked on her spit.

"E-Excuse me!?" She pointed at herself with wide eyes."You want ME to teach YOU Haki!?"She pointed at Law when she said You. Before lowering her hand and staring at Law in disbelieve" Law I'm a terrible teacher! I think a monkey can teach you better than I could! Plus I don't know how to teach Haki! I just know some stuff about how to awaken it!"

Law scoffed." I think you're exaggerating. Plus I asked Cora-san, but he told me he never learned any kind of Haki."

"Still Law I'm a bad teacher, sure I can give pointers , but who can't? My problem is I can't explain things correctly without babbling on and on about it. I'm only going to confuse you!"

"So? To me it seems like you're afraid of teaching me aaand that you think I'm stupid…."

WHAT!? "What! No, you're one of the smartest people I know!" Rei flinched."I-Im…Im more than afraid of failing or disappointing you…I'm just going to waste your time with this.."

Law sighed annoyed." Rei,stop that."

Rei shut up is what he wants to say. She thought, but closed her mouth anyways.

"Stop doing that,me and Corazon won't be disappointed IN you. I'm not trying to pressure you into helping me OR guilt trip you."He glared at her when he noticed her guilty looking face."Just try to work on your confidents. Can't you give me just some pointers that can help me awaken my haki?"

"…Well…yeah…yeah I think I can."She sighed."You had Armored Haki. I think I can help you awaken it….through it still might take years for you to even get a brief control of it."

"Fine by me. At least I will be one step ahead this time around." Law stated.

After getting some medical books and two decent swords we headed back toward our temporary home.

Corazon was making lunch. He actually cooked pretty decently when he didn't set himself on fire during the cooking process.

Looking over to us he smiled widely."Law! Rei! There you guys are! You're just in time for lunch. And see I can make lunch without setting myself on fire!" He stated proudly.

That's just sad….Both Law and Rei thought with a blank look on their faces.

"Um…Good job Dad. " Rei said hoping to cheer him up, but the look he gave her reminded her of the same look he gave Law when he called him Cora-san for the first time.

"You called me Dad!"He was grinning widely…wait he was also crying tears of joy.

"Sure did." Rei nod her head." After all you practically adopted me and Law." She said shrugging before giving Law a mischievous grin."Plus Law-Nii admitted that you are pretty much our dad."

Law turned an interesting shade of red."REI-YA!" That was her cue to run like hell. Laughing like a mad man she dashed as Law chased her feeling ready to strangle her, while also giving her a lecture about running around when her injuries aren't fully healed yet.

Corazon on the other hand watched with wide eyes. Hearing Rei's comment from before replying in his head. A gentle and happy smile appeared on his face.

They are my kids….And I love them so much. I promise to be the best kind of father I can be and protect my children! Looking at Law who was chasing the crazy laughing Rei he couldn't stop himself from laughing happily. Rei is already making Law act more accepting and more his age.

"Cora-san! Why are you laughing!?" Law yelled at Corazon feeling embarrassed and angry.

"Cause my kids are so adorable!" Corazon laughed happily making Law even more embarrassed as he reached out to tuck his hat over his eyes to hide his blush, only to notice that his hat wasn't there. He forgot Rei was still wearing it.

"Rei-ya! Give me back my hat!"Law yelled, while Rei just laughed sitting on top of the fridge. She climbed up it when Law was distracted.

"Hmm…Nope!~ I wanna see my big brother turn into an adorable tomato from embarrassment!~" She giggled like crazy.

"I'll cut your head off after I catch you!" He yelled at Rei who started laughing like crazy.

"Sounds like fun!~ Then I can haunt you as a bouncing head!" Like a Koromon. She thought laughing. Rei wasn't afraid of Law since she now knew he wouldn't really hurt her, might try to scare her though. Through she was curious how it felt being just a head.

"What are you brats yelling about!" Volff yelled out from his study.

"Nothing!" Both Law and Rei yelled back.

4 months later…

The 7 year old Rei was plotting. She had received an ear full from Corazon, Volff AND Law when they found out she had turned 7 and didn't tell them that her birthday was on the 10th of March. Honestly she just forgot to mention it. It wasn't really such a big deal. They could celebrate her next birthday. She just didn't want to celebrate her 7nt birthday...her 6 and 7 birthdays used to always bring her some kind of depressing events.

Through today isn't about her past birthday, but the birthday of Rossinante!~ July 15!~ She had been plotting how to celebrate it for days with Law. Today was the day. They would act…normal.

Both Law and Rei could see they were giving Corazon heart attacks every time they did something reckless or stupid or plain creepy. Like the time Law was experimenting with his devil fruit and she was helping , that day we learned to never experiment near Corazon. I doubt he appreciated holding my head with arm horns for 8 hours before Law felt better enough to put me back together. I JUST WANTED TO LOOK LIKE CHOPPER! Geez…So today they would be normal kids. No training, no reading advanced books just being normal kids. No training with swords with that sadistic Lawpaw! Now they just need to wait for Corazon to wake up.

When Corazon woke up he expected a bomb to go off, but surprising nothing happened…it was disturbing…

Quickly sitting up he rubbed his head. Yesterday he had tripped and hit a tree. His head still hurt, but eh he could ignore it. Not the first time something like this happened to him.

Suddenly he noticed a delicious smell in the air. He left the bedroom and he saw that the smell wasn't coming from the kitchen.

Following the smell outside he arrived a bit farther from the house, where a table waited for him. On the table was a nice looking candy cake with candles, a few salads(normal ones, potato salad, carrot salad), a plate of roasted chicken, Orange Juice, a bottle of sake and no bread anywhere in sight! It was amazing!

Law and Rei both stood on each side of the table with a small smile and a grin, respectively.

"Happy Birthday Daddy/Cora-san" The two said at the same time.

Rei happily ran over to Corazon and gave him a hug.

Corazon on the other hand was crying tears of joy. He picked little Rei in his arms and spun her around wildly making her head spin before stopping, putting her gently down and then waiting with a huge smile for Law to hug him.

Law blushed embarrassed, but he did come over and gave Corazon a hug, who then pulled Rei into the hug again and snuggled the two of them happily while tears streamed down his face.

Silly Corazon. Rei thought with a giggle, while Law was blushing embarrassed, but also had a smile on his face.

"Daddy, can you let me go? Both me and Law got you a present!" Rei said happily.

"You two didn't have to get me a present." Corazon said to them."You two are the best present I could ever wish for!" He put his head on their heads.

Both Law and Rei looked at him wide eyed. Rei blinked the tears away while Law tried to keep his emotions in check.

"Daddy we love you a lot! Like a looot!"Rei said happily a few tears falling. He is a freaking adorable big hearted cinnamon roll! He needs to be protected!

"We love you…"Law said quietly feeling shy.

Corazon smiled wider."I love you two too!"

"But we still want to give you a birthday present." Rei said with a pout after wiping her tears away. Law just nod his head. They worked hard to get it.

"Oh okay then."Corazon said with a short laugh letting go of the two kids.

Rei gave him a nicely wrapped box. When he opened it he saw a silver chain like necklace.

"Its comes with something else too!~"Rei said with a grin as Law gave Corazon a nicely wrapped present with a bow on it.

When he opened it he saw a silver heart shaped locket with Corazon written on it. When he opened it he saw the initials RLR written on one side and the other contained a picture of him sleeping while Law sat next to him staring at the camera with a small smile, Rei had her head in a corner of the camera with a large grin on her face. Seems like she was the one taking the selfie. It looked like from the time he fell asleep outside.

"RLR?" Corazon blinked twice as he stared at the initials.

"Stands for Rossinante, Law and Rei. We kinda are used to calling you Corazon, Cora-san or Daddy in my case, but we do know your real name, so we decided to put the initials of our real names Inside there." She looked a bit nervous as she asked."D-Do you like it?"

Silents…

Corazon jumped up surprising Rei while Law just blinked up at him."Like it? I LOVE IT!" He grabbed the two and hugged them in a bone crushing hug while spinning around, before tripping and falling face first on the ground. Squishing the children with his weight.

"GOWA-WAN/WAWWY!"(CORA-SAN/DADDY!) The kids screeched under him.

After getting off of them and apologising all of them sat down to eat. Corazon was happily wearing the chain with the locket around his neck.

They talked, laughed and enjoyed the food before finishing it and lying down to look at the clouds and relax.

Law stared at the clouds bored. He liked stargazing better. Rei liked both Stargazing and cloud watching, through she also prefered Stargazing. Corazon enjoyed both the same amount, it was just such a nice day that he felt like cloud watching together with the kids.

They talked about random things and just enjoyed each other's company, weeeell until Rei stood up and returned with water balloons and Volff who had also congratulated Corazon, but he had a the 'Water Balloon War Machine! Version 3!' with him. Rei threw each of her water balloons at Law and Corazon who didn't see it coming. It hit them right in the face.

"Pffft Hahahahaha!"Rei laughed as she saw their shocked faces.

The two blinked at the same time before looking at each other then back at Rei with a mischievous looks on their faces making Rei stop laughing. She started to sweat as they slowly
