Chapter 26

AN: A big thank you goes to Krito for helping me come up with names for Sanji's parents. Happy New Year's everyone!

Onigumo had been defeated. Zoro watched as Sanji ran over to Robin and began to discuss with her what had been written on the poneglyph. Zoro looked around the Azure Temple and kept an eye out for any unexpected enemies. He would do everything he could to protect the cook.

Zoro's heated gaze fell upon the cook again - Sanji had finally confessed his love and all Zoro wanted to do was rip the cook's handsome suit off and fuck the cook into the temple floor. The swordsman let out a sigh. Only - there were too many people around a.k.a Franky, Robin and Brook.

And of course the frozen forms of Sanji's parents and the priestesses. Even though Sanji's parents couldn't 'see' per say it would still feel a little strange having sex in front of Sanji's parents. Zoro needed to find a secluded area somewhere where he and the cook could finally truly make love.

After a few minutes of studying the spell song with Robin Sanji finally stood up and turned to face Zoro with a wide grin on his face. "Yosh. Alright. I've memorized the spell song. This is it."

Zoro's heartbeat sped up a little faster at the sight of the cook's sexy smile and his cock felt heavy against his thigh. The swordsman nodded. "Good." He said in a gruff voice.

Sanji returned his attention back to his parents who were still covered in frozen ice. Sanji took a deep breath, opened his mouth, and began to sing. The song was mystical and otherworldly. Sanji's voice was beautiful, smoky, sexy. The air all around them thrummed with power. Zoro could feel the magic Sanji was weaving passing through his body like a pulse wave. Wave after wave of energy passed through Zoro as Sanji sang.

Franky with his arm around Robin's shoulders, Brook, and Zoro all stood, and listened to Sanji sing - mesmerized. Sanji's body began to glow with a blue-tinged light making him look angelic.

Sanji's powers as a Bard have been awakened. I'm so proud of him. Aoi said in Zoro's mind.

I'm proud of him too. Zoro replied.

Awww that's so sweet! Aoi cooed in Zoro's mind. You should really tell him that.

Zoro's cheeks heated up. Hell no! Ero-sword!

Oh come on, you really should. I'm sure it would put Sanji into a very good mood, if you know what I mean, pirate. Aoi teased.

Zoro pointedly ignored the sword after that.

The sound of cracking, melting ice rang through the temple.

Crack…crack…crack…

The temperature inside of the temple began to rise and Zoro watched as the frozen figures of Sanji's parents began to melt. Drops of water trailed down the ice and before long the ice began to crack.

Sanji's eyes widened at the sight of the melting ice and was forced to close his eyes lest he be overwhelmed with emotion and disrupt the spell song with a mistake. Zoro watched as the ice began to break away from the bodies of Sanji's parents and the priestesses, until-

GASP.

Sanji's mother and father and the priestesses gasped for breath as they came back to life! Zoro watched as the King and Queen of All Blue Kingdom looked around the temple curiously before their eyes landed on Sanji, who still had his eyes closed and was singing.

The Queen looked at Sanji and his curled eyebrow and gasped. She put a hand over her fast beating heart. Call it a mother's intuition but somehow she knew that that young man standing before her now was her son! But how? Why? What had happened?!

Queen Harumi looked down at the wooden cradle, saw that it was empty, and her suspicions and fears were confirmed by the absence of her baby inside of the cradle. That young man had to be her son - Sanji - all grown up!

Queen Harumi felt faint and swayed on her feet. King Mamoru held her shoulders to steady her and gave his love a concerned look. "My love? What's wrong?" He asked in a low, deep voice.

"That young bard - he's our son." Harumi declared as she put a hand over her mouth and tears streamed down her face from her blue eyes.

Mamoru's eyes widened and he too looked down at the empty cradle and then back up to Sanji. "Our son…? Then how much time has passed? What happened?"

"My King." The Head Priestess came to kneel before her King. "We've been in an enchanted sleep for 21 years - cursed. Your son is currently breaking the curse upon this entire land with the spell song."

"21 years?" Mamoru ran a hand back over his short golden hair. "And the war?"

"I don't-" The Head Priestess began. However-

The sounds of battle floated into the temple coming from outside - the sound of steel clashing upon steel, the sound of raised voices and battle cries and the sound of people crying out in pain.

The war for possession of All Blue Island had resumed as if it had never stopped. Mamoru turned his attention to the open temple door. "It appears the battle still needs to be won! Stay here, my love." Mamoru kissed Harumi quickly on the lips before running off down the aisle towards the temple entrance, sword in hand.

Zoro watched the King leave. He too had heard the sound of the battle resuming outside between the now unfrozen priestesses and the Order of the Golden Spider. "Shit!" Zoro swore as he took off after the King. Sanji would never forgive him if he let something happen to his father. Zoro took off running after the King and followed him outside to see that the frozen bodies of the priestesses, priests, and evil mages had indeed been unfrozen and their battle had resumed.

Zoro sighed. Didn't the evil mages realize their 'master' was dead? Why did human beings enjoy conflict so much?

"Hooryahh! For the peace of All Blue Island!" The King roared, golden double-edged sword held high before he charged an evil mage and engaged him in close combat. The mage's staff clashed against the King's sword with such force sparks were thrown up into the air.

An evil mage closed in on the King from behind and Zoro sprang into action. "My King!" Zoro cried before falling into a fighting stance and moving his swords forward. "100 Pound Cannon!" Zoro unleashed the powerful energy attack upon the evil mage-

The blue-tinged column of energy hit the mage and blasted him backwards with a cry and not only that the other mages who had been behind that one were blown away too. "Ahhh~!" The evil mages cried out as they flew through the air.

The King and his opponent took a moment to pause their own fight so that they could both watch as the evil mages were blasted away by the incredible and powerful attack.

The King turned and raised an eyebrow at Zoro. "Impressive, swordsman. I didn't know a swordsman of your skill was under my command. Or owed me his loyalty." Mamoru stroked the stubble on his chin thoughtfully.

Zoro nodded. "I am-" Zoro paused and had to gather his thoughts again. He'd been about to say 'I am your son's lover' but decided against telling Sanji's father the news until he got the cook's approval. The last thing he wanted was for Sanji to get pissed off at him for not consulting him first about telling his father that he was in a relationship with a man. He had the feeling that it would take the cook some time to get used to the idea of sharing this news with his newfound parents. And Zoro understood this. The cook had been straight until he had fallen in love with Zoro. But Zoro couldn't deny that it didn't hurt a little bit having to hide the truth that he wanted to scream from the mountaintops of All Blue Island. "I am a…friend of your son, My King. My name is Roronoa Zoro."

The King nodded back. "King Mamoru Blú." Mamoru took advantage of the evil mage's distracted state to drive his sword behind him and into the evil mage's stomach!

"Ahhh~!" The evil mage cried out and crumpled to the ground.

"Let's take care of these guys together, your Majesty." Zoro offered with a slight bow.

Mamoru's blue eyes sparkled in amusement. "Yes, let's, Roronoa." Mamoru agreed and Zoro and the King of All Blue Kingdom began to fight back-to-back against the mages of the Order of the Golden Spider.

As they fought, all around them the ice began to melt from the trees and the snow upon the ground began to thaw. It was like watching a season change in the blink of an eye from winter to spring. The ice melted away and grass began to spring up from the ground. The ice and snow fell from the tree branches and leaves began to sprout from the branches until the surrounding trees were thick with fluffy green foliage. Out of the corner of his eye, Zoro could see blue flowers blooming and realized that this must be the true state of All Blue Island. He smiled. All Blue Island was certainly beautiful. Sanji would be pleased to see it the way it was supposed to be.

Meanwhile…back inside of the Azure Temple…

Sanji finished the spell song and opened his eyes to come face to face with his mother! Harumi was standing directly in front of Sanji, tears still streaming down her beautiful, heart-shaped face. The tip of her nose had turned pink but Sanji didn't think that detracted from her beauty. Queen Harumi had her hands clasped nervously before her as she gazed upon her handsome son.

Sanji and his mother stood and stared at each other for a moment both unsure of what they should do, but both feeling the inexplicable urge to hug each other. Sanji didn't know what he should do or say or how to explain any of this without frightening his mother. Would his mother even like him? Would she be happy to find out that he was her son? Or was he somehow lacking?

Luckily, Harumi decided what the correct course of action should be. "My son!" Harumi cried, unable to hold herself back any longer. She launched herself at Sanji, wrapped her arms tightly around him, and buried her face in his chest. "My son! My son! My beautiful son! You broke the curse! Just as I knew you would. I'm so proud!"

Sanji stood frozen in his mother's embrace, feeling shocked and a bit overwhelmed. This woman was his mother! His mother! Sanji finally unfroze and wrapped his trembling arms around the woman and held her close. He was so happy. She didn't reject me. "…m-mother?"

Harumi pulled back, looked at Sanji, and nodded. "Yes, Sanji. I am your mother - the Queen of All Blue Kingdom. And you are our little lost prince that has returned to us so quickly…or at least it seems that way to me but many years have passed haven't they, my son, while I was asleep." Harumi reached out and caressed Sanji's cheek. "But no worries - you're here now and we've been reunited. You're home, Sanji. Home."

"Home…" Tears began to fill Sanji's eyes - he was so moved. "Mother…I'm home." He offered the Queen a lopsided smile.

Franky and Robin both exchanged worried looks. Brook was also watching the touching reunion silently. Now that Sanji had been reunited with his family…what did that mean exactly? Would Sanji be staying on All Blue Island? Or would he continue to sail the seas as a pirate? Sanji's dream had come true.

Sanji looked around at the priestesses and had to resist the urge to shower the beauties with compliments. Now was not the time. "Where's…" Sanji gulped. "Father?"

"He's-" Harumi began. Before-

"100 Pound Cannon!" Came Zoro's unmistakable voice and the sound of people crying out in pain.

Sanji's eyes widened. The sounds of battle reached his ears. Shit! The war that was in the middle of being waged 21 years ago had restarted. Dammit! His people were once again in danger! He had to do something.

"Father! Zoro!" Sanji turned to his mother and gave her a quick kiss to her cheek. "Mother…I…" Sanji was extremely worried about his father and Zoro, but he had just met his mother for the first time and was reluctant to leave her. He hesitated.

Harumi smiled knowingly as she seemed to understand Sanji's conflicted look. Harumi reached out, patted Sanji's cheek, and gave him a reassuring look. "Do what you have to do, my son. I'll be waiting for you right here. I won't go anywhere. I promise. Make your father proud. You're so brave."

Sanji nodded, a glint in his eyes. "Yea…Franky, Robin, Brook-" The cook began to ask his friends for their help.

But Franky cut him off. "We're right behind you, bro!"

"Lead the way, Prince Sanji." Robin smiled mischievously.

Prince? Sanji blushed.

"Yohohohoho~ it's a shame to cut the touching reunion with your mother short…" Brook turned to address the Queen of All Blue Kingdom. "Madam may I see your panties?"

Harumi's cheeks turned pink. "Er…?"

"Pervert!" Sanji growled and side-kicked Brook sending him flying across the temple impressively. Brook crashing into one of the pews but was quickly on his feet in no time. "Let's go."

Harumi's eyes widened at what Sanji had just done. "Oh my…" My son is strong. He is truly his father's son.

Sanji, Franky, Robin and Brook made their way down the aisle and exited out into the temple courtyard. All the priests, priestesses, and evil mages that had been frozen had been reawakened.

The land itself was coming back to life. The clouds overhead were clearing - revealing a teal blue sky and fluffy white clouds. As the sun began to beat down upon All Blue Island the ice and snow that was on the ground began to melt rapidly. As if by magic grass started to sprout up from the ground and crocuses began to grow until tiny purple buds were unfurling their petals.

The land seemed to be returning to normal at an abnormally fast speed. Sanji watched as nearby bare hedges began to sprout dark green leaves and then tiny blue flower buds began to form. In seconds, the tiny flower buds were opening and the courtyard began to become filled with the mysterious, legendary, blue flower that existed only on All Blue Island.

Sanji wished he had the time to admire the beautiful flowers of his homeland but alas now was not the time. Sanji frantically searched the courtyard for signs of his father and Zoro. He spotted them fighting back to back. A circle of evil mages, who had begun to chant spells, surrounded them. Uh oh.

There was something about the sight of his father and Zoro fighting side by side that warmed Sanji's heart and curled his lips into a smile. His father - the King - looked so impressive in his golden armor and with his golden sword. But Sanji's lover, Zoro, also looked very impressive with Shusui and Aoi held in his two hands and Wado between his teeth. Pride swelled in Sanji's chest at the sight of the fearsome swordsman. That's my lover. Sanji thought and felt giddy.

The cook shook his head of sappy thoughts. His father and Zoro were in trouble. Sanji waved his hand over his legs and cast a spell. His legs became bathed in a blue-tinged light. "Diamond Boots!" And a pair of knee boots made out of diamond with pointed toes and four-inch heels formed on Sanji's feet. "Zoro!" Sanji called out as he ran towards Zoro and his father. He knew that Zoro would know what to do. Once Sanji was close enough, he leapt up into the air, and as he fell back down through the air he brought the heel of his boot down hard upon the ground with earth shattering force.

BOOM!

A tremor shook the ground beneath the mages' feet before the ground itself began to break apart. An enormous crater that was fifty feet wide formed in the courtyard around Sanji. The center of the crater was where Sanji's heel had hit the ground.

The mages cried out as they lost their footing on the ground that began to break apart. Zoro knew exactly what the cook had been up to instinctively and had grabbed onto the King before leaping backwards so that they wouldn't be affected by the cook's devastating attack.

The King watched Sanji curiously and frowned. "An interesting attack but…" Mamoru looked at Aoi that was in Zoro's hand. "Why is he not wielding his sword Aoi?"

Zoro blinked. "Er…the cook, er, Sanji, isn't a swordsman - he's a cook. Well, he prefers the word - chef." Zoro hastily explained.

Mamoru's eye twitched. "A chef? My son is a chef and not a swordsman! A proud warrior?! How can this be?!" A look of disappointment crossed the King's face.

Zoro felt irritation well up inside of him at Mamoru's obvious disappointment. Sanji's father should be proud of him - not disappointed! Sanji was a badass, chain-smoking warrior chef! "Your Majesty…pardon me but…even though your son isn't a swordsman that doesn't mean that he isn't a fierce warrior of the sea. He's honed his fighting abilities and has created some incredible attacks with his legs."

"He fights with his legs? You mean, he practices martial arts? Like karate?" Mamoru asked.

"Well, more like savate, he only fights with his legs and not his hands."

The King arched an eyebrow at Zoro. "He only uses his legs? Why?"

"Because he's a chef - his hands are precious to him." Zoro readily explained.

"Precious to him?" Mamoru snorted, "Since when are hands precious to a man?! What nonsense is this?! A man's hands must be strong, calloused and covered in scars - like your hands, Roronoa. Those are the hands my son should have!"

Zoro scowled. Sanji's father just didn't get it. The cook was the cook and he didn't need to be any other way. "Your Majesty, I'm sorry but-" Zoro started to defend his lover yet again. However-

Sanji began to attack the mages and was beginning to make quick work of them with his deadly kicks. I'll protect my people! "Party Table Kick Course!" Sanji spun on his hands and knocked his feet into the faces of the mages one by one.

Zoro's brows raised and he wondered how the hell that could not impress the King.

Sanji stood up and grinned at Zoro and his father. Sanji's expression faltered when he saw the obvious look of disapproval on his father's face. Sanji's expression turned to confusion and hurt. The cook was an open book and his hurt showed on his face. King Mamoru looked even more disappointed with Sanji's girlie behavior. Or at least what he deemed as girlie behavior.

Real men shed no tears. "A true warrior does not wear his emotions on his sleeves. Those emotions could be used against him by an enemy." Mamoru intoned.

Zoro couldn't exactly disagree since hiding his emotions from his opponents was something he did but…the cook just wasn't like that…

Sanji was Sanji…

Meanwhile, Robin, Franky and Brook had joined the battle.

"Cien Fluer!" Robin cried as she crossed her arms over her ample bosom and called upon her Devil Fruit Power. Arms began to sprout out of the backs of the evil mages before she had her arms grab a hold of the mage's heads and twist devilishly. "Clutch!"

"Ahhh~!" The mages cried out in pain and horror. "A witch!"

"Straight Right!" Franky sent his fist flying into an evil mage that was sent careening backwards.

Brook unsheathed his sword and charged a group of evil mages that were targeting a group of lovely priestess. "I'm coming Mademoiselles!" His sword flashed through the air and he passed them and sheathed his sword.

The evil mages turned to grin at Brook maliciously when it appeared his attack had no effect. However-

"Ahhh!" The evil mages cried out as wounds opened up all over their bodies and red blood spurted through the air.

"Thank you kind sir!" The priestesses thanked Brook.

"Yohohoho! It was nothing, lovely Mademoiselles…can I please see your panties?" Brook asked.

The priestesses just laughed at Brook thinking he was making a joke. "What a funny…skeleton!"

"And who are they?" King Mamoru asked Zoro curiously.

"Those are your son's friends." Zoro said simply.

Mamoru nodded. "Ah, at least it appears as though my son has some powerful allies." Allies…that will soon become his subjects.

Meanwhile…at the Blú Castle…

Nami, Luffy, and Law made their way into the impressive castle. Nami led the way. She could smell gold. "This way guys." The navigator confidently made her way into the castle and down a hallway.

Luffy and Law shared a questioning look. Luffy shrugged and chuckled. "She's always like that…" His voice held a fond note to it.

Law noticed. "Hey, Strawhat, what's up with you and Nami anyways? Are you together or not? You're hot one minute and cold the next…"

Luffy sighed and shrugged. "I dunno…I thought I was in love with her but…I can't forgive what she did to Sanji but…even so I think I still may love her…" Luffy frowned sadly.

Law smiled crookedly and appeared bemused. "I know how you feel, Strawhat. You can't control who you fall in love with…even if you know the person you're falling for is nothing but bad news."

Luffy raised an eyebrow at Law and gave him a knowing look. "Are you talking about Kidd?"

Law's cheeks turned pink and he rubbed the back of his neck in an awkward gesture. "Yea…I still love him…even after everything he's done. I know he's a bastard but…I still love him." Law let out a defeated sigh.

Luffy chuckled and slung his arm over Law's shoulders. "I know, man. Nami's a bitch but I love her. Does that mean we're masochists?" Luffy's eyes widened in worry.

Law raised an eyebrow at Luffy. "Do you know what that even means, Strawhat?"

Luffy nodded. "Sanji explained it to me. It means you're someone who likes pain or likes to be hurt. Do we enjoy letting the people we love hurt us, Law?"

Law thought about it for a moment before shrugging. "Maybe. It seems like we've both chosen to love people who will only continue to hurt us in the end…"

"Hey guys! Over here!" Nami called out to Luffy and Law. She was standing in the doorway to a room that was just down the hall.

Luffy and Law looked ahead, grinned and ran towards Nami. They reached Nami and followed her as she ushered them inside of the room, which turned out to be an enormous chamber with a ceiling that was a least fifty feet high.

Luffy whistled through his teeth as he caught sight of what was inside of the chamber. "Whoo!"

"Impressive." Law acknowledged, intrigued that Nami had managed to find this place so easily.

Nami's eyes had turned into beli signs. She licked her lips and clasped her hands together. "So much treasure." Towering piles of gold coins, sparkling jewels, precious gems, gold and diamond jewelry, medieval swords, and crowns were in the chamber.

"This must be the royal treasure chamber." Law deduced. "How'd you know it was here, Nami?"

Nami smiled and tapped the side of her nose. "I could smell it. Ooo~ this is so marvelous! I'm rich!" Nami ran over to a tall, six-foot pile of gold and reached out to scoop gold coins into her hands. However-

When Nami reached out to scoop up the gold her fingers hit a thick layer of ice. "What the…it's covered in ice…dammit." Nami chewed on her lower lip out of frustration.

"Look." Law pointed out some figures covered in ice.

Luffy and Nami turned to see what Law was pointing at and saw several pirates covered in ice.

"Pirates." Nami frowned at the frozen pirates and eyed their sharp looking cutlasses warily. "This is my treasure."

Luffy noticed that the pirates appeared to have been frozen while they had been in the middle of filling large burlap sacks with Sanji's treasure! "Shishishi…serves these guys right - they were stealing Sanji's gold."

Nami raised an eyebrow at Luffy. "Sanji's? I think you mean my gold. Sanji said I could have it, remember?"

Luffy scratched the side of his face. "Er, yea, right…"

Nami began to tap her foot impatiently upon the stone floor. "Well, what are you waiting for Luffy? Hurry up and break the ice off that pile of gold for me." Nami commanded with an imperious wave of her hand towards the gold.

"Yosh! Alright!" Luffy cracked his knuckles before approaching the pile of gold.

"I don't think that's going to-" Law started.

"GOMU GOMU NO GATLING GUN!" Luffy cried as he let his fists fly at the pile of gold and began to hammer it with punches.

Law sighed, "Work. I think this is part of the curse that's been placed on the island. The only thing that can get rid of that ice is…magic."

Luffy continued to hammer punches down onto the pile of gold. Nami rubbed her temples and sighed. Once she noticed Luffy's knuckles getting bloody she decided enough was enough. "Luffy…it's okay. Stop." Nami's voice was tinged with disappointment.

Luffy obeyed and stopped trying to break the ice. He frowned since Luffy was most definitely NOT the giving up type - especially when it came to giving Nami something that she wanted.

Several minutes passed as Nami gazed upon the gold longingly when the sound of cracking ice rang through the treasure chamber suddenly. Luffy, Nami and Law watched as the pirates that were frozen in ice began to melt - water droplets sliding down their icy exteriors.

It didn't take long before the ice was breaking away from the pirates and they began to take gulping breaths. The pirates looked around the treasure chamber in a disoriented and somewhat dazed manner. "What's going on?" "What do you mean 'what's going on?' idiot? We're here stealing the treasure!" "That's right. Now I remember." "Hurry up, you idiots! Fill your bags!"

"Uh…who are they?" An overweight pirate pointed to Nami, Luffy and Law.

The pirate captain, who was wearing a wide brimmed hat with a bright red plume, noticed Nami and leered at her. "Who's the wench is what I want to know."

Another pirate licked his lips. "Must be their ship's harlot - take a look at what she's wearing!" The pirate eyed Nami's skimpy bikini top lecherously.

"Ooo a harlot." The pirate captain rubbed his hands together. "I wonder how much it costs to have a round with her?" He smiled wickedly and revealed gold teeth.

Nami frowned and wrapped her arms around her chest self-consciously. "Look here you I'm no-"

But Nami was cut off. "My navigator is no harlot." Luffy growled as he approached the pirates menacingly and cracked his knuckles.

The pirates looked Luffy over - taking in his boyish appearance and began to laugh uproariously. This pirate crew had been asleep for the last 21 years and so didn't know who the infamous Strawhat Luffy was.

"Who's the kid?" "Maybe her little brother? Ahahaha!" "Maybe he's the cabin boy?"

Luffy's eye twitched. "I'll show you losers who's a cabin boy! Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun!" Luffy threw a series of lightning punches towards the group of pirates that had begun to approach him and sent them flying.

"Ahhh!" The pirates screamed as they were flung across the treasure chamber and impacted with a pile of ice-covered gold.

Luffy threw his arms over his head in a dramatic gesture. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy! The man who will become the Pirate King!"

"Luffy…" Nami's heart fluttered at the sight of her captain defending her. Even after how awful she'd been acting…especially towards Sanji. She should just admit it to herself already…she had loved Sanji and his rejection had hurt - enough that she had wanted to hurt him for it. Nami shook her head with a rueful expression on her face. "I've been such a fool. Luffy! Don't let those guys get MY treasure!"

"Aye aye Nami!" Luffy agreed as he began to rotate his shoulder and prepare to send more punches the pirates' way.

"They're after the treasure too!" "The treasure is OURS!" "Let's get them!" The pirates unsheathed their cutlasses and pistols, and attacked.

"Luffy! Watch my back!" Nami said as she leapt backwards and whipped out her ClimaTact. She began to spin it and create ominous, gray, storm clouds above the pirates' heads.

"Sure Nami!" Luffy shouted back before he bit his thumb. "Gear second!" He caused his arm to enlarge until it was enormous. He then sent it flying towards the pirates. "Elephant Gun!"

"AHHH!" The pirates tried to run and dive out of the way. But it was too late for most of them.

"My turn." Law murmured as he prepared to join the fray. "Ro-" Law started to say when a hand came over his mouth and he was suddenly being dragged into a side chamber that was attached to the main treasure chamber.

It was pitch black inside of the room. As Law was dragged inside of the room the door was slammed shut and then Law was slammed hard against the wall. The back of Law's head hit the stone wall and he was momentarily stunned from the impact. Law tried to blink the stars from his vision as the dark room spun.

As Law was trying not to pass out from the pain in the back of his head - hot, wet lips were suddenly pressing against his own.

Law's eyes widened in a mixture of shock and surprise. What the fuck? Law's assailant kissed Law hungrily and the man's hands began to travel over Law's torso. Who the hell…? Law could smell the man's scent - blood and steel.

The man's hands began to quickly unbutton Law's shirt. Law's assailant took the shirt off before greedy hands traveled over the surgeon's bare chest appreciatively and down over his rock hard abs. Law shuddered as the man pinched and toyed with his nipples until they hardened. The Surgeon of Death wanted to control his body's reaction to this stranger's rough touch but he couldn't. Law's body had been trained to respond to such rough treatment from when he had been Captain Kidd's lover. Captain Kidd had been a beast in the sack…

The mystery man leaned forward and captured one of Law's nipples between his teeth. He pulled on the nipple and Law gasped in pain. The man sucked and nibbled on Law's right nipple until Law's member began to harden in his pants. The stranger let out a groan of approval before going to work on Law's other nipple. Law's breathing began to come out in irregular pants. He wished he could find the strength to push this man away…

But…now that he had the visual image of his ex-lover Captain Kidd in his mind he couldn't stop his body from becoming more aroused by the stranger's touch. It was so dark in the room that he couldn't see the man who was assaulting him and so he could imagine that it was his lover Captain Kidd so easily…

Kidd…what am I doing? Law questioned himself. I'm really fucked up…to be desiring Kidd's touch so badly that I'm willing to sink so low as to let some guy do this to me. Dammit.

Law could sense the dark aura of lust in the air. He was in the hands of a hungry predator - a starved predator. And there was no escape.

Law tried to shove the man away but Law's wrists were captured in one hand and held over his head. The man's free hand went to the front of Law's pants. The stranger undid the button and unzipped Law's pants. At this point Law was half-hard.

The man yanked Law's pants down leaving him in only his boxers. The man hummed in approval at seeing Law's half-hard state. The stranger reached out and seemed to hesitate…as if debating whether or not to touch Law…

A man with a conscience, perhaps? Go figure. But at this point I don't really care what this guy does to me. I want…more. Law gulped. He hoped the man would touch him…and he hated himself for it.

Instead, the man let out a feral growl and spun Law around, keeping his arms pinned over his head. Law's back was now facing his assailant.

The man reached out and lowered Law's boxers to reveal his firm ass. The sound of a zipper being lowered was heard and the almost soundless sound of pants dropping to the floor. And then Law felt the tip of someone's cock pressing up against his entrance.

Law struggled in the man's grasp with renewed vigor. Surely, the man didn't plan to take him raw?! "Hey, fuckface, you'd better stop-" Law growled in a low, deadly voice.

The stranger began to press himself inside of Law and the Surgeon of Death hissed in pain. "B-Bastard…"

"That's right…I'm nothing but a perverted bastard…a beast…" A husky voice whispered in Law's ear.

Law shivered. He recognized that voice and it sent shivers up and down his spine. "…Kidd?"

"Argh!" Kidd let out a growl of frustration and let go of Law's wrists. He suddenly pulled away from Law. "What the fuck am I doing?!" Kidd roared and threw his arms up into the air. "Why dammit! Why do I always hurt and destroy the things I love?! Why? Dammit!"

Law spun around and could vaguely see Kidd's shadowy form now that his eyes had adjusted to the almost pitch-black darkness of the room.

BAM.

"Why?!" Kidd roared.

Law's eyes widened as he saw the blood trickling down Kidd's face from his forehead. He watched as Kidd prepared to slam his head against the wall again and ran over to Kidd. "No! Stop!"

BAM.

Kidd blinked. That hadn't hurt. He opened his eyes confusedly to see that Law had put his hand flat against the wall and Kidd's forehead had slammed into Law's hand instead! That had to hurt.

Kidd turned to look at Law in astonishment. "Law…?"

Law tried to smile but instead his expression was a pained grimace. "Kidd…"

Tears burned in Kidd's coal black eyes. "Law…I'm so sorry I…hurt you…again. I always hurt you…force you. I know you don't belong to me anymore…that you left me but I-"

Law put a finger to Kidd's lips and shook his head. "No, Kidd, you're wrong. The reason I left you isn't the reason you think. I only left because I had a score to settle with DoFlamingo and didn't want to get you involved. I didn't want you to get hurt because I…" Law swallowed. "Love you…Kidd." The surgeon murmured softly and tried not to blush.

Kidd blinked at Law in shock - Law had just confessed his love for him and with such a bland, stoic expression on his face. Kidd gazed at Law's face lovingly for a moment - there were still shadows beneath his eyes and his goatee had grown. "Huh? I don't understand…I…I wasn't forcing you?"

Law smirked sexily at Kidd and shook his head. "Hell no…" Law walked over to the wall and placed his hands on it so that his back was facing Kidd. "In fact…I'd like you to finish what you started." Law spread his legs wide and gave Kidd a teasing look.

Kidd swallowed and looked Law's naked body over. He licked his lips hungrily. Law acting all submissive with his hands on the wall and ass in the air was so hot. Law was no pushover…he was a powerful swordsman and could pretty much get out of any situation when he really wanted too. To submit himself like this to him…again…it took Kidd's breath away.

Kidd smiled and discreetly wiped his tears away. "As you wish…" He approached Law and stood behind him. Kidd reached out and fondled Law's ass playfully.

"Just…put it in…" Law breathed. He could take a little pain…especially now that he was sure it was his lover Kidd giving it to him and not some bastard stranger.

Kidd frowned and shook his head. "No…I need lube."

Law sighed. "And where the hell do you think you're going to find lube in a place like this?"

Kidd drew closer to Law's body and pressed his bare chest against Law's back. Kidd reached his hand around Law's body to grasp the surgeon's half-hard member in his calloused hand. "I'll make some." Kidd purred as he began to stroke Law's cock to full hardness.

"Oh." Law managed to get out before letting out a groan. The feeling of Kidd's hand around his cock was bliss. Ah, how he'd missed this.

Kidd tightened his grip so that it was almost painful and began a fast, rough pace. This was just how Law liked it - a little rough. The mix of pleasure and pain made him feel alive.

Law's limbs began to tremble as he began to near his climax. Heat pooled in his lower abdomen and all the blood in his body seemed to have deviated to his pulsating cock. Kidd played with Law's slit with his thumb and the surgeon gasped. "Kidd…I'm going to…Oh God…!"

A few more swift pumps and Law stiffened as he was sent over the edge. "Kidd!" Pleasure, lust and heat coursed through his veins. Kidd made sure to keep the palm of his hand over the head of Law's cock to capture as much of his cum as possible.

"Mmm…you haven't jerked off in a while have you?" Kidd murmured as the cum began to seep through his fingers. "There's a lot."

"Shut up…bastard…" Law panted, a blush to his cheeks.

"While you were away from me didn't you get yourself off?" Kidd asked curiously.

Blinking and trying to gather his wits through the haze of his orgasm, Law responded. "No…I waited for you to be the one to touch me again…"

Kidd snorted. "What about when I pulled you in here? Huh? You were getting all turned on with your would-be rapist."

Law flinched. "I was imagining he was you…and then it turned out that it was you. I'm sorry…"

Kidd groaned in approval. "Oh God Law…that's hot. I want you so bad." Kidd brought his cum slicked fingers to Law's entrance and slipped a finger inside.

It was tight - deliciously so. It'd been a while. Law gasped at the sensation.

Kidd pumped his finger in and out of Law before adding a second finger. Kidd scissored Law roughly and Law hissed. It hurt but…it was a good kind of hurt. Kidd inserted a third finger and pumped his fingers in and out before plunging his fingers deep inside of Law and searching for-

"Ahh!" Law cried out when Kidd hit his sweet spot.

A feral grin formed on Kidd's face and he concentrated on hitting that spot again and again until Law barely had the strength to stand. Kidd removed his fingers from Law's trembling body with a pop. He licked his lips. "You're ready." Kidd slicked his throbbing cock with Law's cum before guiding his cock to Law's entrance.

Law held his breath, suddenly feeling nervous. With a snap of his hips Kidd thrust into Law all the way to the hilt. The surgeon cried out at the feeling of being stretched and filled so completely and fully all at once.

Kidd let out a groan. Damn he feels so good. I can't hold back. It's been too long…I want him so bad. The pirate captain couldn't wait for Law to adjust before he began to thrust in and out of Law at a hard pace. He was so tight and still spasming around him. "You're so tight, Law." Kidd purred.

Law's body was trembling from the abuse and pleasure. "Bastard…" Law concentrated on relaxing his body so that it wouldn't hurt so much and sure enough the pain was beginning to take a back seat to the pleasure.

"I know you like it." Kidd ground his dick into Law and the surgeon gasped as Kidd hit his sweet spot again.

"There! Again…that spot…again Kidd…please…" Law begged in a low voice.

Kidd smirked - he knew Law's body well. He aimed and hit Law's sweet spot again and again with perfect precision. The red-head reached around Law and grabbed his erection in a fierce grip. He began to pump Law's erection in time with his harsh thrusts.

Law moaned. "Ah…no…Kidd…it's too much…I'm…!"

Kidd chuckled. "Come if you want to…slut."

"Ah…I'm…!" Law gasped as he came for a second time.

The feeling of Law's inner walls clenching around him sent Kidd over the edge and he came inside of Law. "Ah…Law!"

Law felt Kidd fill his insides and let out a pleasurable sigh. It was a good feeling to be claimed by his lover again.

Kidd leaned over and sunk his teeth into Law's collarbone. Law gasped in pain and then moaned at the pleasure as Kidd began to suck on the wound - as he continued to thrust in and out of him as Kidd rode out his orgasm. Kidd let go of Law's wrists and pulled out of Law. He took a step back.

Without Kidd's support Law sunk to his knees, sliding down the wall as all his strength left him. He hadn't been with a man in so long and his body wasn't used to taking that kind of abuse. His lower back throbbed in pain…but it was a nice, familiar kind of pain.

Kidd licked his lips as he watched his cum oozing out of Law's ass. Man that was hot. It made him want to take Law again. He ran a hand back through his red hair. "Why do I love making a mess out of you so much, you sexy bastard?" Kidd shook his head, a bemused expression on his face.

Law gathered the strength to turn around and face Kidd. He smiled lopsidedly at the feared pirate captain. Law shrugged. "Hell if I know…pervert." Law's expression turned serious. "So tell me what happened? Did you kill Smoker?"

Kidd's expression fell and he frowned. He turned his back to Law and sighed. "No…Smoker defeated me…and decided to spare my miserable hide. I don't know why…"

Law's dark eyes twinkled knowingly. "Maybe he saw what I see in you, Kidd."

Kidd spun around to give Law a searching look. "And what's that?"

"Hope."

Kidd snorted but smiled at his lover. "You bastards are all a bunch of saps…"

TBC…!
