Chapter 4:

No one's POV

"So you like Luffy?" Nami asked grinning a cat like grin.

Zoro nodded.

"And Law likes Luffy too?"

Zoro nodded with a hint of anger on his face.

"And how much are you going to pay me to help you out?"

"Are you serious?" Zoro snapped. "Yeah, I don't give love advice on a whim. Besides, you and Law aren't the only ones that have eyes on Luffy," Nami said simply. This nearly made Zoro jump on his feet.

"Who?"

"Can't tell if you don't pay the bill," Nami teased.

Zoro mumbled under his breath, cursing the orange haired girl as he got out five belis. He slammed it on the lunch table with a bit too much force. Nami didn't care though. She happily grabbed it and thought of how easy money she would make off of Zoro's little crush.

"Bartolomeo."

"Tell me something that isn't obvious!" Zoro exclaimed.

Oh course Zoro had know about the rooster guy. Bartolomeo will happily follow Luffy around, calling him 'senpai' and nearly passing out every time Luffy thanked or even talk to him. Heck, the guy even made a cheering rally for Luffy when Luffy had entered into wrestling. Rooster went to every. Single. Match.

"Fine, Boa Hancock,"

"That's even more obvious!"

"Sorry but that's all five belis will getcha," Nami yawned. Zoro grumbled about how much of a witch she was before asking, "How much more do you do you want?"

"One hundred belis,"

"Something reasonable!"

"Twenty belis."

Zoro opened his mouth to say something but Nami beat him to it. "If you want the deep secrets then you're going to have to bring out the deep cash," Zoro gave in.

"Alright, I know something that about only a tenth of the school knows. Eustass Kidd likes Luffy too." Nami squealed.

"The hot head?" Zoro asked. "Yup." "I thought he hated Luffy." "What did you think Law felt about Luffy?" Nami raised an eyebrow. Zoro leaned back on the table. "Okay I get your point.

"Now it'll be fifty belis to tell you step one of my plan for you to win over Luffy,"

"Only step one?!"

"Hey, the higher the demand, the higher the price."

Law's POV

I had limited time to figure out a foolproof strategy to win Mugiwara's heart. I couldn't let that mosshead win it before I do. Besides, Mugiwara is easily influenced … but not his …

My eyes widened with realization.

His brothers! Of course! If I can get his brothers on my side, especially Ace, then there's less of a chance of me getting rejected! Mugiwara would soon like me too and Zoro would be out of the picture.

I stopped for a moment to rethink this plan and frowned at the possible mistakes.

Zoro is a long time friend of Mugiwara. Ace and Sabo would most likely trust Zoro more than me. My tattoos and personality doesn't give much of a boost to help me out in that department. What other qualities do I have that could make Ace and Sabo trust me?

I paced around my room, searching for an answer deep within. There had to be a way for me to beat Zoro.

I have a cold personality.

Not going to help.

I own an expensive car.

They don't care much about money.

I've been nicknamed 'surgeon of death' at our highschool.

Yeah … no.

I felt my heart stop at that moment. I grinned like a maniac.

No One's POV

Luffy happily bounced around the halls of Grandline High school. He had such a great time at the carnival on Friday, his happy attitude was still there with him.

He did spend time over the weekend with Ace and Sabo, whom had promised to make up for not being able to go to the carnival with Luffy. However, it didn't match up to the great time he had spent with Torao.

Maybe I should hang out with Torao more! He did seem to open up sometime during Friday! It was especially fun when Zoro was able to make it! That was really-!

Luffy stopped when he crashed into a body. He landed on his butt and whined in pain.

"Luffy?" Sabo asked confused. Luffy could see Ace look behind himself just as confused as the older brother.

"Hey Sabo!" Luffy grinned. "Luffy, your class is on the first floor! What're you doing on the third?!" Ace asked. "I am? Shishishi! I guess Zoro's rubbing off on me!" Luffy laughed.

"Get to your class before you get detention … again," Sabo sighed. "That only happened once … a week." "How'd you end up here anyways?!" Ace yelled. "I saw a really cool guy who looks like a cyborg and started to follow him and then I lost him."

Ace and Sabo stared at him in silence before saying, "Get to class,"

"But I have seven minutes!"

"But your grades are dropping." Sabo fired back.

Luffy shrunk back a little, he knew exactly what was coming next.

"Luffy, you're failing math and science." Ace scolded. "You're one to talk," Sabo muttered under his breath. Ace glared at Sabo for the comment causing Luffy to laugh. This action made Sabo and Ace focus their attention on him again.

"You seriously need to get your grades up before the month ends. If you can't manage to do that then no going out with friends or video games until you do." Sabo said.

Luffy was pushed over the edge and was about to start complaining on how boring those classes were until someone interrupted them.

"I could help him out with that." a certain dark haired student said.

Ace tensed at the offer. "No way you're going to help him out with his classes."

Law's expression didn't change at the comment. He knew perfectly well that the other brother hadn't made up his mind yet. Quite frankly, the other brother was a bit more logical.

"Are you certain Law? I wouldn't want to cause you any trouble." Sabo questioned while Ace gave an expression of utter shock and betrayal. "You're actually considering this?!" "Well math and science is Law's best subjects. Besides, I have board meetings to attend so I can't help out Luffy. And you're completely out of the question to help." Sabo stated.

Ace started to stutter, searching desperately for a reason not to let Law tutor his little brother.

"Torao! Thank you so much! I can't afford to lose my videogames or freetime!" Luffy cheered. "No problem Mugiwara, as long as you actually pay attention to what I tell you." Law said coldly. Luffy only laughed at this.

Ace was so close to practically blowing up into flames when the warning bell rang.

"Thank you Law for offering to help Luffy. I hope he learns well from you," Sabo grinned.

"W-W-WAIT A GODDAMN MINUTE!" Ace yelled at Sabo.

"If I can manage him that is." Law shrugged. "I'm sure you will. I'll see you around Luffy!" Sabo said as he began walking towards his class.

"I never agreed to this!" Ace yelled being completely ignored by the blond.

"Oh! There's the cyborg man again!" Luffy yelled before Ace had the chance to tell him that he will not be tutored by Law. Law simply walked off leaving a dumbfounded, frustrated Ace in the hallway.
