17...Again
"What the hell, Bonney-ya?!" Law was beyond pissed. He couldn't believe what the woman had done to him. He wanted to throttle her neck with his own, bare hands. He wanted to cut her up and hide the pieces all over the world so that they would never be found. He was very close to it, too.
In front of Law, Bonney stood with her hands in the air. Her defensive position did nothing to make him any less furious at her. "L-Law, please calm down. It's...It's not that bad." She knew it sounded like she was trying to convince herself as well as him. She ducked as a tea cup shattered on the wall right where he head had just been.
The man was huffing with rage. "I want to be back to normal! Fix me! Right fucking now!" He didn't want to stay in the form she had 'accidentally' put him in.
"I...I can't. It has to wear off." She dodged a chair. It shattered as it collided with the wall. She wasn't surprised at the strength he possessed. Bonney had set his age to about seventeen, or somewhere around there. It was by pure accident. She just touched him, and he changed. It was nice, though, to see him shorter than his normal height and his shirt slightly falling off of one shoulder.
"Then what am I supposed to do?! I can't walk around town like this!" Bonney had immediately brought him to an inn room to keep people from getting in on their conversation. It was worse because law didn't have his crew with him. Just his nodachi and his powers.
Thinking quickly, Bonney approached Law. She slipped a pair of sea prism stone cuffs from her jacket pocket and snapped one side onto Law's wrist. His eyes widened as she attached the other side to the bedframe. "I'll be right back, okay? I'm going to go into town for a bit."
The woman left the room without staying to hear Law had to say and chained to the bed. Alone. He felt as if she was going to make him do something he would regret and would humiliate him. Law decided to sit on the bed as he waited for the nutcase to come back.
About ten minutes later, Bonney returned to the room with a bag of what looked like clothes over her shoulder. She looked exhausted and a little nervous. "I brought you some clothes that will probably fit you better," she announced. Bonney dropped the bag next to the bed. "They're all similar to what you usually wear."
Unlocking the cuff on Law's wrist, Bonney wasn't ready for Law to grab her by the throat. "Bonney-ya, I have calmed down a considerable amount from my initial anger." He never tightened his grip nor dangled her off the floor. He just left his hand there as a threat and for fear. "Thank you for getting me some different clothes." He let her neck go after a moment of silence. Then, he turned to the bag of clothes and started to go through it. "Just how long will I be like this?"
"To be honest, about two or three weeks." Law groaned. He wanted to crawl under a rock and die. "And I would be careful, if I were you." Law turned to her and raised an eyebrow. "The Straw Hats are here along with the Kid Pirates," she informed. Today was just not his day.
Picking out a black hoodie and a pair of black and white spotted jeans, Law changed his larger clothes for the smaller ones. He put the others in the bag to hide them. Law sat back down on the bed. He looked at the sun for a moment through the window. Taking off his hat to scratch his head, Law watched as Bonney paced the room like something was bothering her.
Law put his hat in the bag along with his nodachi. Getting off the bed, he wanted to leave. "Thanks for the information, Bonney-ya. I have to get going, though." The woman looked worried for him. An expression he hardly ever saw on her face. He went up to her with the bag over his shoulder. Law bowed to her before leaving the room and the inn all together.
Keeping an eye out for both crew, Law was glad he had taken his hat off and replaced it with the hood of the hoodie. He was thankful that the hoodie didn't have his symbol on the front like his own. Law was headed for the docks for his small rowboat. He had told his crew that he wanted some alone time. They had, reluctantly, agreed and stopped on an island. Law had left them and set out on his own.
Shouting got him to loo at the town square. Kid and Luffy were arguing loudly with each other. Law pushed into the crowd to see what was going on between them. They weren't fighting just yet, but it was quickly escalating to that. He stopped beside a woman. "Take that back, you hot head!" Luffy shouted in Kid's face.
"Then take back what you said, rubber dick!" Law wanted to laugh at the use of names they gave each other. He hadn't seen either one of the men in about a year or so. That was after the fight with Kaido. He heard the woman next to him giggle.
Turning to the woman, Law decided to ask her what was happening. "Excuse me, ma'am." She turned to him. "Do you know what those two are fighting about?" The woman looked very familiar. She had orange hair, brown eyes, and lightly tan skin.
"Oh. They're fighting over a friend of ours." Her voice made him realize who she actually was. It was Nami. His face went pale and he made sure that his face was hidden in the hood. "They've been at it for a good thirty minutes now."
Nodding, Law decided that it would be best for him to leave while he could without getting caught. He turned to leave but was held back by Nami. She had a hand on his shoulder that didn't have the pack on it. "Do you need something, ma'am?" He was nervous that she probably knew who he was.
"Don't you want to stick around to see the fight? It's about to happen." She pointed to the two in the center right as Luffy threw the first punch. He wanted to stay to see how it ended but that might've been long enough for someone to recognize him.
"I'm very sorry, but I have other things to do." He politely shrugged her hand off his shoulder. Law was glad that he had also picked out a pair of fingerless gloves. They covered just enough to hid his tattoos on his fingers. Nami didn't stop him from leaving again but gave him a look that said she was suspicious of him.
Quickly exiting the crowd, Law felt better now that he didn't have her scrutinizing him. He let out a sigh as he went back in the direction of the docks. He was, again, stopped by someone by accidentally running into them. Both of them fell to the ground.
"Hey. Watch where you're going," the man said as he got up. Law looked up to see that it was Zoro who he had collided with. His blood ran cold.
"S-Sorry. I was...I was distracted." He got back to his feet and noticed that he was slightly shorter than the other man. Zoro was about three or four inches taller than him.
"It's fine, I guess." Zoro took a look around the place. "Do you know where the town square is?" Law nodded as he dusted himself off.
"You go straight down this road, then take a left. Keep going straight and you should see a crowd of people watching a fight." Zoro thanked him before patting him on the shoulder. Law thought it was weird. I hope I don't run into any more of Straw Hat-ya's crew.
Taking a turn at a corner of a bakery, Law ran into one of Kid's crewmates. He didn't even look up at them to see who it was and just kept on going. He was afraid of being found out. He wanted to get to his boat as quickly as he could. Law sighed again as he continued on.
Walking by someone, Law noticed that it was Chopper but didn't acknowledge him. He didn't hear him stop just a little ways away. "L-Law?" He almost froze but just forced himself to keep going as if he hadn't heard him. "Law?" He heard Chopper trying to catch up with him.
All of a sudden, the reindeer was in front of him. "Torao." Law topped and raised his head to look at him. The other seemed surprised and confused for a moment. "Law, is that really you?" Grabbing Chopper's arm, Law led him to an empty alley.
"Please, don't tell anyone I'm here," he whispered. He was worried and looked out the entrance of the alley.
"Why? What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" Chopper kept his voice down like Law.
"Eustass-ya is here fighting Straw Hat-ya." Chopper's eyes grew large. Law didn't blame him. He had been surprised to know that they were fighting, too.
"Why do you look so young? What happened to you?" Law understood his confusion. Knowing the guy, he knew that his looks were extremely different than the last time he saw him.
"Do you remember a woman named Jewelry Bonney from Sabaody three years ago?" He watched Chopper think it over for a moment before he nodded. "She changed me back to around seventeen. Please, don't tell anyone I'm here. I don't want anyone to know."
"Okay. I won't." He looked out the opening of the alley once again. Law was nervous. "Luffy has been missing you. He's been a little depressed without you." Chopper's face fell. "Anything you did with him and he goes to do now makes him lose interest in right away." Law felt bad to hear that. "Why do you want me to keep quiet about you being here?"
"Eustass-ya has been looking for me for a while now. I don't think his intentions are anywhere near...kind." Chopper looked even more worried than before. Law smiled at him to reassure him. "Tell Straw Hat-ya that I said hello when you get back to him." Chopper nodded in agreement as Law left the alley.
Sighing once again, Law quickened his pace to the docks. He got there in less than five minutes. Law was glad to see his small boat still attached to the docks. He boarded it and untied the rope from the dock. He wasn't surprised to see the Thousand Sunny or Kid's ship docked there.
He watched as the sun set lower into the sky. It was almost dark out. Pressing a button on the boat, a passage opened in the bottom of the boat. It held his things that he was carrying. Law placed the bag inside and closed it back. He watched the water around him. It was relaxing to watch the waves roll under the boat.
Sleep was slowly calling to him. He glanced across the way to the town. Luffy's ship was still there but he saw a few of the members standing in the dim light of the sunset on the ship. He smiled at the memories of the crew. Law missed them so much. He laid down and closed his eyes. I hope Straw Hat-ya and the others are okay, was the last thought that crossed his mind before he fell into a peaceful slumber.
I know. It's a new story. Just...came to mind. Please don't hate me for making a new one. To be honest, I like Luffy and Law being together. They're cute. They kind of remind me of a married couple. Law is the level-headed, logical one of the two. Luffy is the goofy, fun-loving one. They fit well together. Well, tell me what you think. Have a marvelous day. Tatty-bye!
