"By now, all of you are aware that Luffy is a Razlet, aren't you?" Zoro started. All of them, included the boy himself nod.
"You might forget about me, but I am a Farligenete myself, Trafalgar. I knew you are the same as Luffy here, but are you still the same?" Zoro arched one of his eyebrow keeping his dark demeanor. Law huffed. Luffy and Sanji stole a glance against each other before set back towards the two.
"Haven't they told you anything yet?"
"I need the truth from you yourself."
"Somehow, at some point, I am not a Razlet anymore." Law bit his lip, averted his gaze, uncomfortable. Luffy who was sitting beside him, crawled his hand to touch the other's hand to give him some courage, even for only a little. Law jerked at the sudden contact, but didn't give any sign of discomfort.
"… not anymore, eh. So, you are now a-"
"Demon, yes. That's what you people call my kin now." Law cut the green head's words immediately.
"Okay. I don't know how or why, but let put that aside for now. Do you still have any memory in your childhood? Before you decided or accidentally turn into a demon?"
"I do."
"Then you do remember me, right?"
"Yeah. The were-wolf who asked to re-attach his legs to my father."
"True. You do still remember the boy with me, don't you?"
"Yeah. That monkey boy."
"So you are the same. You'll recognize him in the end. " Zoro stated, contorting his own face into somewhat forlorn look.
"Recognize who?" Law asked back just to be replied by a gesture by the Farligenette. The beast was pointing his pointy finger to the boy who was sitting beside him. Law quickly set his eyes on Luffy, in which Luffy was tilting his head in confusion.
"M-me? Well yeah, I am Monkey D. Luffy but what is the connection with Tora- ah…?"
"Monkey.. D…. Luffy?" Law stuttered, stating Luffy's name one by one.
"Yeah. He was the one who attached to you once, and yes now he is again re-attaching himself to you." The beast explained.
"He… was that boy?" Law eyes widened in disbelief, "b-but I… I thought y-you guys… he was..."
"Dead. Yeah, I made it to look that way. That's why we are here now. In this state, living peacefully in hiding."
"F-for how long….?"
"For as long as it needed."
"What are you talking about, seriously! I don't catch up!" Luffy whined, so did the blond who was staring blankly.
"Luffy, you do remember your charm, right? The frog charm." Zoro started, trying to explain things to the younger Razlet. Luffy nodded in excitement. Sanji who was watching them, noticed that Law was kind of… blushing? W-wait.. Did he see that wrong?
"He was the one who gave it to you."
"To-Torao was the-"
"Yeah. He was. I believe you also accepted something in return, right Trafalgar?"
"Ki-kind of… uh…" Law bit his lower lip. He made a small blue sphere on his hand, then seconds later something was appearing. A stag beetle, a preserved stag beetle.
"Aahhh! That's a Hercules! AAAHHH! You- you are the kid with white spots!"
"I was. Chibi-Saru*1."
"I MISSED YOU SO MUCCCHHH!" without seconds delay Luffy lunged onto him, entangled himself on Law's upper body. He couldn't express how ecstatic he was right now, meeting his childhood friend whom he longed for, the one who gave him warmth and who was the same kin as him - was the same.
"Qui- Quit it! Fucking Chibi!"
"But how? How did we meet?" Luffy was already dragged off of Law, giggling in excitement. Zoro huffed.
"Are you sure… you want to know this?" the beast face somewhat somber when he spoke. Luffy noticed the change, so did Sanji.
"I-If it was too heavy then-"
"It wasn't me, Luffy." He paused then locking their eyes together. "it will be, for you."
"Fo-for me…? But I-"
"I know Luffy. You don't remember anything, right now. Your memories had been sealed."
"Sealed?" Everybody was blinking in awe. Zoro closed his eye, searching for courage, determination, strength to tell about everything.
"I'm sorry." Zoro muttered, Sanji could hear him, but not the other two in front of them. The beast's voice was dark and sullen, cracking in between. Sanji clenched his teeth, whatever he would said, it would be a deep dark secret, which he kept it alone, by himself.
"Luffy," The green head called. The young boy blinked several times to the beast, while Sanji was watching the whole scene, bracing himself for whatever would come.
"Monkey D Garp-san… ring a bell?" Sanji heard him, his voice stuttered, broke while saying the name.
"… Garp…? Ga-…." Luffy eyes widened, "Garp? Gar-" suddenly the noirette feel a painful throb in his head, he clenched it, his whole body was shaken terribly. Both Sanji and Law knew something wasn't right. This would turn chaotic.
"Shit!" Zoro muttered and quickly move to Luffy's side. Luffy's breathe was halting. He was now clenching his chest, looked like he wanted to rip it apart, wanted to yank his heart out from his chest.
"Garp… Garp-…. Aghh…. AAKHHH! No… NOO…" the small noirette who was usually bright, was now turn into someone else. His features changed into raging pain, dark depression, utter devastated. He clenched his head harder, effectively pulling his jet black hair, his head was in pain, throbbing in agony upon hearing that one name, Garp. Luffy shouted again and again, trying to ease his pain in his head, in his heart but all was futile. It didn't ease anything. The more he cried the more that sound ripping his soul. He cried and cried, making chaos in that tight room.
"Fuck! Tra-Trafalgar! We got to…" while holding his little noirette, Zoro – who was also panicking – asked Law to do something. To his relieved, Law was quick enough to read his surroundings. The demon quickly activated his skill.
"Room!" The demon quickly activated his skill. Creating a blue sphere, it engulfed all them into it. This was his territory, he was free to do anything, to control everything inside. He made the sphere soundproof, impermeable against anything from inside so did outside.
Luffy was still cried, wailing in agony. That name, a name of a man who loved him for who he was, a name of a man who once took care of him, who was once always beside him, who was once his world, who was once protected him, and also the who was once took everything away from him, because he was gone. Gave up his life to protect him, to protect a worthless like him, a cursed like him, the one who seemed to bring bad luck to his surroundings. A name of a man who was once his grandfather, Monkey D. Garp.
"JIJIII! GARP-JIICHAAAANN!"
Zoro knew it would hurt the little noirette, it was his deep unhealed scar. That was why the beast chose to keep everything by himself, to bear everything alone, but he had no choice. At some point, Luffy had to know about all of these, about his past, about the man he loved the most, his grandfather who died protecting him. Zoro hugged the smaller frame with all his might. Luffy was breaking, and once again he was the reason of this chaos.
"Luffy… please…" Zoro was trying his best to calm the noirette down, but it was hard. Luffy couldn't control himself, he wasn't himself right now. Suddenly, the white circle was starting to outline itself.
"Fu-FUCK! Luffy's power was out of control!" Zoro warned.
"SHIT! In time like this?!" Law spat.
"Go- Gotta move! I- Let's move to the Annen Verden." Sanji wailed.
"Ye-yeah! Summon the gate!" Zoro replied.
"I- I can't! I'm a half vampire! I don't have enough power to- wait! Fuck! Let's try this." He just remembered he was different now, he had other power, he had that arrogant Vill power with him too. The blond quickly concentrated all of his magic power into his hand. A glowing ruby formed on them, seconds later a gate was appearing, opening up slowly but sure.
"Faster! Or Luffy's power will cancel everything!" Zoro rushed, because he was affected as well. He couldn't feel more less gather Esenta around him anymore.
"It's only half open!"
"As long as I fit in!"
"Use some of my energy!" Law gathered his own magic power and channeled to the gate. It opened a little faster. The white circle was getting bigger and bigger, nearly touched Law's feet.
"ZORO!" both shouted in union.
Wasting no time, the green head leaped into the half opened gate, followed by the two men, migrating into their world, Annen Verden.
They were in a blank space between the two worlds, before they fell freely from the sky. Sanji quickly spread his black wing. Law was floating calmly while radiating dark aura around him, he was back in his true form. A demon, two black horns on his head, a pointy thing tail wiggling swiftly.
"Where is he?" Law glanced around, searching for the other two.
"Shit! He can't change back to his true form!" Sanji roared while piercing through the wind, chasing the two who were falling.
"What?!"
"The nullification!"
"Fuck!" Law reciprocated Sanji, trying hard to catch the other.
"Have to stop Luffy's skill first."
"How?!"
"I don't know!" Sanji groaned but didn't slow down, "Zoroo! Do something!"
"I'm trying…. GAAAHH!" He roared and suddenly an explosion around the falling men. Felt like two enormous powers were clashing against each other. Sanji stopped midway, so did Law.
"SANJI! CATCH!" the blond heard Zoro's voice and something was flying towards him. It was Luffy. Wasn't ready for the incoming boy, the vampire thrown back together with Luffy's unconscious form.
"Damn!" he managed to curse but something restrained him from behind.
"Gotcha!" Law blurted out. With his magic, Law made thin black layer of veil to hold them back, so they didn't went too far behind. Sanji had no time to grunt, nimbly he caught Luffy's body in his hand.
"This… little fucker…" Sanji growled, but stop immediately when he saw Luffy's features. Messed up, despair, pain, agony, myriads of negatives painful feeling was written all over his usual shining face. Luffy was in state of breaking down, shattering into pieces. Sanji felt a pang in his heart. This boy was shattering and he couldn't do anything to ease him, to help him, to offer him something even it would mean nothing.
Law floated closer. Upon reaching, he caressed his little friend, the one who once shared a memory in his life. He remembered everything now. His own memories might also had had been sealed together with Luffy's. He was sure of it, because seconds after he heard the name of 'Garp', he remembered all of it, all of Luffy. Those times they spent together, the longed he once had for the boy. Who was once cheered him up when he was down, and the one who gave him hope to hang on and keep going, until he was what he was now.
"Can I?" Law asked, shuddering a little. Sanji knew better, he let the demon took Luffy from him, into his embrace.
"I'll take care of the other." Sanji notified the noirette. Law nodded, but he wasn't sure was he hearing what will the blond do or not. All of his attention was gushing out to the smaller boy in his embrace. The pain, the agony, the miseries, he wished he knew all of these. He wished he could share these with him, could give him strength like the boy did, could give him comfort, could ease his pain in this despair. Law tightened his embrace, bringing the smaller frame closer to him. How he wished to realize all about him sooner. But then again, he remembered something. Something he couldn't do it. Something he didn't deserve to have, not for this eternal life. His face contorted with some twisted mixed of emotion. Joy yet hurt and also, rage….
* HnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnO *
"Oi Marimoo!" Sanji shouted, searching for the beast whom thrown away from the explosion before. Sanji could tell, the beast had been wounded - again. He didn't know why, he just knew. Something in his mind keep ringing over and over and the ghostly throbbing all over his body was the signal. He knew precisely, he himself wasn't hurt, so this throbbing pain wasn't his. As if he knew where the beast was, he quickly found him, on top of the rubles and debris of rocks, unconscious. The Vampire knelt down, anxiously he lifted the green head and let his head rested on his thigh as a support.
"The hell did you do back then..?" he muttered, sighing. By now, he knew the Vill was a reckless bastard, stubborn and he had a fucking high pride. But he was kind, and he didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself to protect his friend, his love. Sanji huffed and brushed the green mane,
"Baka marimo.." he murmured softly before laced their lips together for a good one minute. He didn't know how to channel his Esenta, but he was sure, the Vill would feel his presence. Zoro did. The blond felt a faint quiver on his lips and seconds later his Esenta was swirling from his inside, passing through his throat and sucked out from his mouth. The sensation was alluring and dangerously stimulating. All power in his body swirled, activating all of his sense, making them more sensitive, and the greedy lips on him wasn't help at all. The heat of all the licking and sucking was going straight into his groin and he couldn't hold a moan slip in between their kisses. On a spur of moment, Sanji felt a hand cupping his cheek. He jerked away and found a dark bead was staring him, piercing through his soul. Sanji couldn't avert his gaze away, it was sucking him, captivating him in a way he never felt before.
"Hey.. kuso-cook." A cracked voice rang in his ear.
"Yeah, kuso-ookami."
"Thanks for the elixir. It was delicious."
"Fucker! You're such a reckless bastard! What did you do?"
"Absorb his power into mine. Never knew it would succeed. Haha!"
"You could die, baka!"
"I didn't. And I won't. I still had to feed an exact person." He teased. Sanji could feel his eyes starting to sting like a bitch.
"Cry baby." The green head grinned, erasing a tear slipping out from the beautiful amber beads.
"Reckless bastard!" Sanji spat, giving the green head a little slap, but he then laced their lips together again, "Take more so you can recover soon." Sanji commanded.
"Well, if you say so. Itadakimasu." The were-wolf smirked before delved deeper into the exquisite feast slash kiss provided by a sexy beautiful tyrant – well sometimes.
* HnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnO *
"Fucking fuck! What the HELL?!" Sabo spat, flying closer to the chaotic scene. His dragon wings were flapping several times. Beside him was Ace, who was floating and back to his original form, a fire demon, a horn poking out from his head, a pointy red tail, and fire surrounded his frame.
"Sa-Sabo." Ace tried to call him, just to be ignored thoroughly. Law saw them, especially that fire idiot.
"What have you done to him?!" Sabo growled, seeing Luffy was unconscious in Law's hug.
"More like what the hell happen with us! Why my memories sealed? Who did this?" Law retorted in anger.
"S-sealed? Y-you.. Ah! You are the white-spotted kid!"
"Huh?" Ace's jaw dropped in disbelief. What the hell happened? How could Sabo know him? No wait, how did they know each other?
"H-how the fuck…" Ace muttered, pinching his own nose bridge.
"What happened here?" Sabo demanded an explanation.
"Please… not now. I'm tired and he needs rest. Your were-wolf will explain it better, in which I also demand to know about every fucking thing!" Law sighed, because truth to be told, he didn't understand any of these things. The only thing he knew, Luffy was overly joyful but in the next minutes he was nearly broke. Law didn't like this at all. To say it was that damn were-wolf fault was not quite right, but he was the only one who caused this.
* HnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnOHnO *
"I beg you to tell the whole story without hiding a damn thing! I'm sick from all of this!" Law threatened venomously. Both of his hands were in front of him, intertwining his fingers, while propping his arms on his crossed knees. Luffy was behind him, lying peacefully underneath a thin sheet. They were in a deserted cave in Annen Verden, deep in the forest of nowhere. It was a shallow cave, serving for only some minute stop. A place Ace accidentally founded it when they were bickering against each other, needing an explanation.
"Well, yeah. I planned to do that." Zoro sighed, scratching his green mane agitated.
"Then why-"
"I had no choice. It has to be done. Sorry." The Farligenete lowered his gaze. His palpable troubled and defeated face couldn't be missed, and Sanji didn't like it even for one bit. He was supposed to be that presumptuous bastard, a beast with pride, a bastard jerk! Not this timid, defeated person. And he was doing it in front of everybody. The vampire hated it, hated it to the core.
"Just spit it out already. Nobody will blame you." Sanji raised his voice, he just couldn't stand it anymore.
"No. It's my fault to begin with. So, I have to face it."
"Zoro.. Sanji is right. This is not your fault. If you need someone to blame, it was theirs. Those greedy bastards who were calling themselves Tenryuubito." Sabo gritted his teeth, controlling his raging anger. Ace tensed up and gave a pat to calm his lover down.
"Tenryuubito… why am I not surprise? Worthless trashes!" Law chided maliciously. He too seemed had deep scars inflicted by those who called themselves Tenryuubito.
"What is this Tenryuubito?" Ace asked curiously.
"Yo-you don't know?" Sabo gasped.
"Hey, I don't interest into something unworthy."
"He is a demon to begin with, so it's not a surprise." Law explained.
"H-how come you know it then?" Sanji frowned.
"I was a Razlet before I get into this stage, remember?"
"A-ah.. I see."
"You can change your race?" Sabo jaw dropped.
"Please, set that matter aside. I will tell later, for now-" Law set his focus to the green head who was keeping his mouth shut.
"Everything began when Luffy was still a three years-old naïve child." Zoro started, opening his only eye, he mended his resolution. Sabo eyed him, and gulped down nervously.
"Hey… If you need me." Ace murmured softly beside Sabo's ear. The dusty blond haired nodded, a little bit relieve, knowing he didn't have to face this alone, not anymore. He had this idiot freckled noirette, who somehow managed to barge into his heart and stayed there, stirring him upside down. But one thing for sure, Sabo knew Ace loved him for all of him. Because that what Ace was, a dumb idiot who fell for a psychotic Razlet as him. Sabo sighed and muttered a soft 'thank you' and he got some pats from his noirette lover.
"He found me trapped in a forgotten wild animal trap and he saved me." Zoro snorted, paused for a second and stealing a glance towards the others. Knowing that everybody's attention was on his, he continued, "I started to live with them, Luffy, Sabo, and Garp-san. Once a while, Zeff who is a friend of Garp came to visit us. And there is also Shanks whom Luffy fond of. Luffy took him as his father, so did you, right Sabo?" Zoro gave Sabo a glimpse, after getting a nod, Zoro continued. "Well Shanks loved the boys, and they practically played together. It was a happy time indeed."
"Yeah.. It was a peaceful time. If we think about it now, it feels like a dream." Sabo added weakly. He felt something was digging his old wound which not healed perfectly. It felt terrible.
"Then there was this little kid named Blueno. At first it was nothing, but then it was everything." Zoro inhaled deeply, trying to stop whatever turmoil starting in his heart.
"Luffy is naïve. He always is, even from before. He didn't know a thing about Razlet or mere human or Farligenete or everything. He just knew he had power and that's it. Somehow in a way or another, I failed to stop him telling this secret to Blueno. I didn't want to jump into any conclusion, but that kid told about Luffy to his parents and-"
"They started to chase Luffy?" Law guessed.
"No. they didn't believe him at first. And yeah, I had to butt in and stirred everything up. I tried to kill that kid for spilling such info, and Luffy protected him. Th-… they should had chased me. They… should have just to kill me. Why-.." Zoro trembled, closing his eye he buried his face into the palm of his hands. Sanji gaped, he set his eyes to the other blond and saw painful expression all over his face, dark sullen hatred.
