Summary: Rather than being adopted by Sengoku, Rocinante is taken in by a kind pirate crew. As he grows up, his hatred for his older brother remains. Years later, the two encounter each other. Will their relationship mend or remain broken? [Rewrite of Rocinante the Pirate]

Rocinante was having a lot of fun but he only went on rides that Law could also go on. It may have been his birthday but there was no way he was leaving Law out of the fun. They played at the different booths and did their best to win prizes. He won most of the games easily unless he somehow lost his footing. Rocinante won a lot of stuffed animals for Law.

"Daddy, let's go there!" Law pointed at the largest attraction in the park, the Ferris wheel.

"The line isn't too long right now," Dante said as he patted Sicarius' back.

"Is Sicarius alright?" Rocinante asked, noting the purple-haired male was a sickly green color.

"I'm fi—" Sicarius vomited into the trashcan beside him.

"While you guys were at the booths, he was riding the wildest roller coasters," Dante explained.

"Tch, he has a weak stomach," Fang mocked.

Sicarius glared at him. "You eat people!"

"Not all the time," Fang claimed. "Most of the time I scare them away,"

"That doesn't change the fact that you've actually eaten people before!"

"Roci, you and Law can go by yourselves," Sky suggested. "You both can enjoy the ride together,"

"Are you sure?" Rocinante hesitated.

"I need to make sure Sicarius stays hydrated," Sky told him while Sicarius just gave a thumbs up.

"I shall bring all of your prizes back to the ship," Zane added.

Dante took a bite from the cotton candy he stole from Sicarius. "Now go before the line gets longer,"

Rocinante and Law stood in line for a few minutes. When it was their turn, Rocinante dug into his pockets for scrips and realized that he had used them all on the booths. "Sorry I—"

"They're with me," Doflamingo had threatened the operator into letting him choose which cabin he got in.

'It's Doflamingo!' Rocinante narrowed his eyes as Doflamingo entered the cabin and was waiting for the other two to enter. 'I don't want to be alone with him but the line's getting long again. Law really wants to ride the Ferris wheel…' Reluctantly, he and Law entered and sat down across of the older Donquixote. After everyone was loaded onto the other cabins, the ride started.

"Fluffy!" Law reached for Doflamingo's coat. "Look Daddy, it's fluffy!"

Doflamingo took off his coat and held it out to his nephew. "I can buy one for you if you want,"

"Really?" Law's eyes lit up at the offer.

"What do you want?"

Doflamingo turned to his brother. "The coat will be free. He's my nephew after all,"

"No he's not!" Rocinante denied. "He's not your nephew! He's my son!"

"You're my little brother," Doflamingo claimed.

"We are not brothers!" Rocinante snapped.

Doflamingo stared at him for a few seconds. "Do you have amnesia?"

"I know perfectly well who you are, Donquixote Doflamingo!" Rocinante yelled. "And as I said before, we are not brothers!"

"Daddy, why are you yelling?" Law asked, releasing his hold on the pink coat and moving away from Doflamingo. "Is he being mean to you? Why are you being mean to my Daddy!? I don't like you!"

Doflamingo winced at those words. "That pirate crew kidnapped you, Rocinante. I'm here to rescue you. My strings can attach to clouds so we can escape once the cabin is at the top,"

"Kidnapped me?" Rocinante grew angrier at the accusation. "They didn't kidnap me! What the hell are you talking about!?"

Doflamingo shook his head. "They've brainwashed you. They're making you think that they actually care about you but they don't. And not only that, but they also turned you into a sex slave!"

"What the hell is sex!?"

Doflamingo was shocked. 'They forced him to father a child without even explaining procreation!?' "We need to leave now. I'll bring you both to my ship and—"

"We're not going with you!" Rocinante refused.

Doflamingo ignored his refusal and used his strings to cut the cabin door. He sent out a string to anchor itself to the nearest cloud and held a hand out to Rocinante and Law. "Grab my hand,"

"We're not going with you!" Rocinante repeated.

'I hate to force them to do something but it's the only way to get them to come with me,' Doflamingo thought, wrapping his strings around Rocinante and Law before picking them up and leaving the Ferris wheel.

"Let us go!" Rocinante demanded. "Put us down!" 'If I use my Devil Fruit to attack him, Law and I will both go crashing to the ground. I can't risk his safety!' "Dante! Help!"

"Daddy, I don't feel so good," Law was gaining a greenish tinge as they traversed through the sky.

'My nephew is getting sick. I'll travel by foot then,' Doflamingo gradually lowered their altitude until he was walking on solid land.

Since they weren't dozens of feet above ground now, Rocinante used his ribbons to force Doflamingo to release them. He compacted his ribbons into a sword and glanced around. 'Where are the others!?'

"Don't worry about your kidnappers trying to retrieve you," Doflamingo said. "My crew is dealing with them,"

That did it. Rocinante placed Law on the ground and charged towards Doflamingo. "I'LL KILL YOU!"

That was another blow to Doflamingo's heart but he kept telling himself that it was because Rocinante had been brainwashed. He used his strings to block against Rocinante's attacks. Rocinante relentless delivered blow after blow. Ribbons and strings clashed against each other. A gunshot was heard and Rocinante coughed up blood, blood seeping through his clothes.

"Rocinante!" Doflamingo exclaimed.

"Daddy, help!" Law cried out, struggling in a man's arms.

"Law!" Rocinante attempted to use his ribbons to retrieve his son and fight off the attacker but couldn't. In fact, he felt weakened.

"I use seastone bullets," The man grinned. "You're unable to use your Devil Fruit,"

"Let the boy go!" Doflamingo demanded.

The man pointed his gun at Law. "You're not in a position to be telling me what to do. I have a hostage. Move and I'll shoot him. And don't think of using your strings, Doflamingo. I know you have the String-String Fruit,"

'Damn it!' Doflamingo cursed as he and Rocinante were forced to obey. 'He knows about my Devil Fruit! I can't do anything or else Rocinante's son will be killed!'

The man's comrades shackled seastone handcuffs to them, causing Doflamingo to become unable to use his Devil Fruit and begin to feel his energy draining. Without warning, they were knocked out.

Rocinante was too focused on killing Doflamingo that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings and Doflamingo was focusing on defending and trying to not hurt his brother. Doflamingo is used to killing and destroying and has never really had to hold his power back in a battle.
