A.N. If you noticed the next line under the author's note, well then, I have nothing else to say… ;}

Luffy's POV

Slowly my senses returned and I started feeling my body, first, I felt my legs, there was something covering them, but it wasn't heavy so it's probably a blanket. Then I felt my waist and hands, they also were covered in something, then I felt my head, I felt my eyelids and opened them. The light was so bright that I closed my eyes immediately, I tried opening them again, but this time slower. I half opened them and waited a bit, after a moment the light didn't blind me anymore so I opened my eyes fully.

I blinked several times, but it felt kind of weird, I sat up and drew my hands out of under the blanket, I looked at them; something feels weird, everything feels weird… I looked around the room I was in only to find out it looked fancy. There was white long hair carpet by the bed and the walls were covered in wallpaper that looked like a sea shore. There were several armchairs placed by the bed, at the other side of the room there was this huge wardrobe and by a huge window there was big dark oak desk with an old looking chair by it. The whole place looked very clean and tidy.

I heard door cracking and turned my head to left, there were white wood door that was opening. Through them a tall, tanned man with a white fluffy hat that had black dots on it came in. He was wearing, blue spotted jeans and black hoodie that had some feather by the top and a yellow smiley face. He had a small goatee and I could see black lines under his eyes, the stranger looked cool and mysterious. "It seems you finally woke up."

My eyes widened as I remembered hearing that voice before.

*Flashback*

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you…"

I turned around. "Huh?"

What does he mean he won't hurt me? Before I could look at the man that put his arm on my shoulder I felt warm lips press on mine. For reason completely unknown for me, I opened my lips and the stranger slipped his tongue in my mouth. That tongue slowly rolled inside of my mouth, twisting and a little tickling. Suddenly I felt my tongue being sucked into the stranger's mouth and being sucked.

I felt like moaning; the kiss felt so good… Just when I felt a hand land on my cheek, everything faded…

*End of flashback*

I felt my cheeks blush; even now, remembering that kiss, it seems like the best kiss I've ever had… I gripped the blanket that was covering me and unsuccessfully tried to get my blush under control. "Who are you?"

I myself got surprised how clear and strong my voice was, I wasn't shuttering or whispering, my tone was like in those times when I get angry; am I angry? I tried to understand what I feel and all I found was confusion and embarrassment.

The stranger smiled and started walking towards me. "My name is Trafalgar Law, excuse me for not introducing myself when we met…" His voice trailed off as his eyes focused on my lips, I felt my cheeks blush; is he doing this on purpose? "I got… a little distracted." He sat at one of those fancy armchairs that was placed near the bed. "Now that you're awake Luffy-ya, we have so much to talk about, but before that I believe you're hungry, right?" I nodded and he stood up. "Let's go then."

I stared at the fluffy hat guy for a while and sighed; why do I feel so strange? My whole body feels weird… I stood up and felt something run through the inside of my body; what was that? I stretched and felt my muscles tense and relax; damn, it feels like I've been lying in a bed for several days… I looked at Law. "Hey Trafalar… Trafarar… Trafar? Eh… say Traffy, why am I here?"

The taller male that stood by the door and watched me trying to pronounce his name amused, smirked. "Eat now, talk later."

I scratched my head. "Okay…" Well it's always easier to think with a full stomach.

I followed after Traffy through the door into some corridor. Its walls were covered in dark red wallpapers that had black flower silhouette ornaments on it. The floor was made from some dark wood and the ceiling was high, arched and painted in black. There were a lot of pretty lamps on the walls, but they weren't turned on 'cause the small windows gave enough light.

I followed Law through this strange, fancy corridor to a big red wood double door, he stopped in front of them and turned to me, his expression was a little worried. "Please do everything as I do until we sit at the table, and remember, don't ask questions."

"What if somebody asks me something?"

"Don't answer, let me take care of the talking."

I nodded; everything is so strange and mysterious and he seems a little afraid of what is waiting for us inside. Traffy opened the door, behind it there was a big room with long table in the middle. By it there were eleven people sitting, the all looked similar – long black hair (men also had long hair), very tanned skin and petit features.

All eyes turned at us, Law bowed and glared at me, I remembered promising do everything as he does, so I bowed too. We straightened and went to the table, the eleven people at it started eating again. The clothes they all were wearing were good-looking, the five woman at one side of the table wore elegant dresses and the five men on the other side had costume pants, shirts and vest. The man who was sitting at the end of the table didn't have a vest, just shirt.

We went to the table and sat in the men side, I looked through the people sitting at the table.

All people had some weird staffs rested near their seats and some even had some animals sitting near their plates. The man at the end of the table had a hawk perched on his shoulder and looked around thirty. He had some strange earring in his left ear, it looked a little bit like a cross, but it didn't have the upper part, but loop instead. He also had some weird necklace on his neck, it was round and orange and reminded me a sun.

The first woman at the women side was probably the most ordinary of the five, she only had that weird earring, she was also around thirty and was eating without much emotions showing on her face. The woman on her right had the earring and the pedant, she looked in her middle forties, her shoulders were covered in light brown fur and she looked a little annoyed.

Woman in the middle was also wearing the earring and the pedant, she also looked quite old, the strange thing about her was that she had cow hors sticking out of her head, I tried not to stare and moved on. The fourth was a really old woman, though she didn't have many wrinkles, she also had that earring, but her pedant was different – it looked more like some strangely shaped rectangle with the lower half of a circle on the top. The last woman also had an earring; what's up with those earrings? She also looked like in her fifties and had a scorpion shaped pedant.

Law started filling his plate and I did the same, the foods on the table were foreign to me, but it still was delicious. I quickly devoured the food earning giggles of the granny with scorpion necklace and the older woman with cow horns. "It seems he turned out better than expected…"

Traffy looked at the woman with cow horns. "Yes Madam Hathor, he seems perfectly fine."

I looked through the men side. The first one was a mean looking guy with some weird black animal next to him, I also noticed that he also has the earring. Next to him was sitting another guy in similar age, he had a bird that looked a lot like hawk, but was smaller than him and of course he also had the earring. Next one was a guy with dark blue hair, he was the only one whose hair wasn't black, his skin was also colored in light green and it made me wonder if he isn't sick. For my surprise he didn't have the earring, but the staff he had next to himself was weird and looked like combination of others staffs and the earring.

The fifth was a very tall man with a solid expression, his facial muscles moved only when he ate and just a little bit. He neither had the earring nor a staff. The guy Traffy was sitting next to looked the friendliest out of the whole row, he had that earring; maybe it's some new fashion accessory? His pedant was made of several kinds of bird feathers and he was eating in a carefree way.

The guy with the light green turned at left and looked over me, he stared at my eyes for several moments and then looked at Law. "His eyes, does he see fine?"

Law nodded. "Yes Sir Ptah, he didn't complain about it."

The blue haired man whom Traffy called Path lightly nodded and continued eating. Then the man at the end of the table spoke. "Come here Trafalgar."

Law stood up and went to the side of that man. "Yes Sir Ra?"

The man called Ra extended a file. "This is a list of people whom you and your counterpart will have to find and bring here."

Law bowed and took the file, he came back to his seat next to me and continued eating. Counterpart? Is that supposed to be me? And why are people asking if I'm fine? What about my eyes? Well they were a little strange when I woke up, but now it doesn't feel strange anymore. Everything is so weird here, who are these people? Why do they look so weird and why does Law keep bowing to them? Aghh, not knowing anything is making ne irritated…

I ate four more portions and then the man at the end of the table stood up, everyone stood up after him, he walked away through the door that was behind him. Then Traffy took my hand and dragged me out of that room back to the corridor through which we came here. "Who are these weird people? Why did that Ptah guy had green skin? What's up with those earrings and staffs? Why did we had to bow for them?"

Law looked at me with serious eyes. "You should think of what you speak about the deities that created this world."

"Huh?!" Deities?!

A.N. And a cliffhanger! :P Don't worry I will start writing next chapter soon, if I'm lucky it will come out today, if I'm not – well then you will have to wait a day or two… Hope you enjoyed! :} (Try guessing what deities these people are…) :}
