Part-3

Ok.

Rewind.

What had happened?

Oh right...

Cora-San had came back to this shack that they had found and was carrying an injured little girl.

And despite law's jealousy of having the attention of his Cora-San directed at someone else -which had been always solely directed towards him- he found himself, without realizing it, moving on pure instincts.

He had instantly moved towards his backpack which contained all of his medical supplies and started treating the little girl.

Who, Cora-San had laid on the couch that he previously occupied. After cleaning the blood, law bandaged the wounds -for both the girl and Corazon- and was now staring at his guardian with a silent question of who the girl was.

Corazon was slowly walking towards the male noirette.

"Well, you se-" but he was cut off by his clumsiness acting up, resulting in him to fall face first to the wooden floor of the shack.

And despite how many times law had seen him in such painful situations, he didn't have time to hide his concern as he approached the older blonde with haste

"Cora-San! are you ok?"

Corazon looked up, and stared at law's face for a long moment. And law was regretting showing his concerns to him as the look of bewilderment and surprise were prominent on his face -if his wide eyes were anything to go by. Law was growing uncomfortable with the stare

"What!" he snapped with frustration and embarrassment.

In response the the blonde just enveloped the noirette in a bear hug and started crying comically blabbering things like "my son", "he cares", "proud" and many more that law hadn't cared enough to decipher.

But in fact law was blushing furiously as he could have sworn that he had heard the word 'son' at least seventeen times now. So to get out of the devious clutches of the blonde that he calls a hug, law pushed him away with all his might -which wasn't much considering his weakened state, but the older male realised what law was doing and let go of him, though he was still crying comically.

law was just thankful that the torture has ended

"*sigh* so are you going to explain who the girl is and what had happened?"

"Well, i don't know who the girl is...but she did help me! And besides she was injured! I couldn't just leave her out there!"

Corazon had seated himself on the wooden planks with his legs crossed.

"How exactly did she help? It's not like she saved from a near death situation or something, right?" said law not realising how close he actually was.

Corazon smiled his silly smile of his "Well..."

"So you're telling me that, this little girl actually saved your life from that pirate crew..." asked the twelve years old law for the seventh time.

"Yes she did, law" answered Corazon absent mindedly while checking to see if the girl had woken up.

It had been almost an hour since Corazon stole the fruit. He was sure that his older brother must've known by now.

As for law he had decided to ignore Corazon's irrational story for now and turned to face his guardian "the injuries weren't very serious but she would be unconscious for at least 12 hours"

And on cue, as if to prove that law is wrong, a soft groan was heard from the ravenett.

Law blinked, once then twice "How the hell are you awake?!" cried a confused law. He was sure that with an injury like that, especially in that young age she wouldn't be up for a while! And yet there she is waking up and looking around.

"Where in the grand line am i?" luffy questioned, not that she was expecting an answer as she haven't yet realised that she's not alone.

"We aren't in the grand line. We are, in fact, in the north blue, on minion island to be more specific" piqued the blonde male, happy to start a conversation with the little ravenette.

While law was still shocked that this young girl had recovered that fast already! She was supposed to stay unconscious!

Law shook his head to rid himself of the thoughts and approached the two who were talking as if they were some kind of old friends

But later law would realise that their personalities are kinda similar. Both are very outspoken after all.

Law hadn't even had the time to ask anything at all as Cora-San had started rambling, about all the things that the ravenette told him, the moment he had seen law approach them

"Law! You won't believe it! Luffy here had just arrived on the island! She wanted an adventure apparently and had snuck on one of her father's ships! She had been training with her father's help that's why she's a good fighter! She likes the colour red and likes meat very much! Isn't she adorable! She's as adorable as you are! Look at you two! Oh how cute! I have been blessed to lay my eyes on such cinnamon rolls!"

Law sweat dropped at the older male's antics and had already tuned him out the moment that he started praising their cuteness -though law thinks that Corazon would act like that with every child if he could- and focused on the things that actually caught his interest from Cora-San's ramble.

Like for example "snuck on one of her father's ships" doesn't that mean that she's rich? Because if her father is merchant or a trader of some sort he'd have only one ship but he clearly heard ships.

Could she be a Noble...!

...no, she can't be. Despite her apparent riches and the short time that he had seen how she interacts it's as obvious as the sun that she isn't a Nobel, after all nobles are some snobby rich horrid people and the girl -luffy, he corrected himself- was as innocent as they come.

Law glanced at luffy. She reminded him of his deceased beloved younger sister, her cheerfulness is similar to Lami's...though Lami's is a bit more toned down, her's is boarder line crazy...

And after a little internal debate with himself, he decided that luffy won't hurt them...hopefully

"So luffy" law started "you're telling me that you are alone on this island far away from your family?"

Nod*

"And you have no way of going back"

Nod*

"And your family have no idea about your whereabouts"

Nod*

Twitch* "are you absolutely sure you don't have any means of going back. At all."

"I'm sure! By the way who are you?" asked luffy

It was then that law realised that he hadn't introduced himself and knowing Cora-San he hadn't either.

So, resisting the urge to facepalm, he answered "my name is Trafalgar law and the idiot over there is Cora-San" law was not ready to give his full name, just in case the girl blurted it out, after all people with the initial D. are either feared or hated. Though law envy's the people who are ignorant of its meaning...not that he knows the full meaning behind it, just that they are the enemies of the celestial dragons.

"Nice to meet you Cora-San, torao! Do you have any food? I'm starving!"

Twitch* from the moment luffy woke up, law just knew that she is going to be a handful. How are they going to get off this island alive with her in tow because law just knows that Cora-San isn't going to leave a seven years old, no matter how strong, alone with no adult supervision, so of course the little ravenette is going to join them.

Wait a second...did she just call him 'torao' ?!?!

sigh* she indeed is troublesome . . .
