So here is the new chapter, and I must say that I loved to write this chapter so much! And I am happy with it, for the most part. The sex scene is well, I don't know. I am just not good at writing them, unless it rapes. For some reason I got really good at writing those. Anyway, hope you can survive it. And yeah I warn you that it is a sex scene this time, and it's between two guys, so yeah, if you don't like it, don't read it!
I loved to write more about Law and Cora-Sans past. And you will get more information about that too, and Sanjis. You will get it all!
I can tell you that Cora-San meets Law, when he is five, and it's 21 years ago.
The meet Sengoku 18 years ago. Its the same year as he dies.
Doctor Fishbonen is a really character, if you didn't know that. But the name Mikaro, isn't his real name. All of the people in his crew, doesn't have name, so I just made it up.
I loved to write the part with Law in the hospital, with Luffy there, and everything that happens next. And I hope that you like it too. I am just trying to show how much is changing in Law's life now. And how he acted in the end, well he is just not a big fan of gangs. Haha
With Kaido more introduce, or not really but, well I can tell you that his district is more in the southwest, in the middle. With Shanks on his left side, and someone else, then Luffy kind of close. The neutral district is a bit above them, or more above Luffy's district. So now we have removed one district and Kaido's is a bit bigger now, and has a pice next to the marines.
You will also get more information about Crocodile, further down in the story. He isn't there just for the sex, no I have a plan.
Next chapter will be about Sabo, if I don't change my mind. But it has been awhile since we saw him, so thought it was time.
And we will get more information about what Law will do, and what Sanji will do too.
I can also tell you that Law's story and Cora-San's story is happening in the same day. And this is happening in the same time Ace story, in the last chapter happened. This is to show you that things happen in the same time, around town.
Last I want to thank everyone that are reading and reviewing, thank you so much!
Enjoy the reading!
"You were gone longer then I thought you would. I almost went looking for you" Cora-San said when Law and Sanji walked through the door. Both men looked at the man they saw as their father.
"Sorry if we worried you" Sanji said, but Cora-San just smiled.
"I am sure you had a reason, and as long as you are unharmed" he answered and looked at Law.
"We met the Luffy and his friend" Law started and Cora-Sans eyes almost sparkled.
"How fun" he said and Law gave him a cool look.
"I wouldn't call it fun" he answered and Rosinante laughed.
"Law, you barely call anything fun" he said before he turned to Sanji. "Did you have fun?"
Sanji who, was now standing in the kitchen, thinking of what he should do for dinner looked at the man.
"I think I had" he said in a low voice. "They seemed nice, and I don't know"
Both the other men smiled towards him, knowing how he felt, but both of them were glad to hear that Sanji had fun.
"You have time to figure it out" Cora-San said and Sanji nodded. "Do you want to see them again?"
"I think I do. I told Luffy I would" Sanji said and looked at Law.
"I will go with you" Law said, without a doubt. Even if he didn't like the Straw hats, it wasn't like he disliked them, he just didn't like people, he would go with Sanji, for Sanji's sake.
"Thank you Law" Sanji said with a smile.
"I am so glad that both of you gets new friends" Cora-San said.
"They are not my friends" Law was quickly to point out, but Cora-San just smiled, and Law sighed as he sat down next to his father.
"You need friends too Law" Cora-San told him, but Law just covered his eyes with his hat and didn't answer, and Rosinante laughed at his son, always the stubborn one.
"Law?" Sanji asked and Law hummed in answer. "Why did you choose to call yourself Sengoku, or rather Senguko?"
"You still do that?" Cora-San asked in surprise as he looked at Law, who refused to look at him.
"He has done that before?" Sanji asked and Cora-San nodded.
"He has always said Senguko, since he was a child" Cora-San told Sanji, who looked at him very curiously. He knew so little about Law and Cora-San before he met them, fifteen years ago.
"Why?" Sanji asked and Cora signed for him to sit down, and Sanji know what that meant, Cora-San had a story to tell.
"Law met Sengoku as a child, since he was my adoptive father…"
Cora-San looked at Law, where he stood next to him. The young boy looked everything but happy, no he was rather angry, or that was how he looked. Cora-San know better, Law was scared, really scared, and Cora-San understood him, he was also scared.
"Turn left here" Cora-san said to Law, who nodded and turned left. The young boy was walking ahead of him, looking down the street, prepared for the worst. And if Cora-San had more energy, he would never let Law go first, but now, well he didn't know if it would matter if he walked first, trying to protect Law. He would most likely not manage anyway. He was already leaning against the wall, trying to walk forward. Law looked back at him all the time, and Cora-San smiled each time.
"Are you alright?" Law asked when he heard him sob in pain.
"I am fine Law. We are soon there" Cora-San answered him. He wasn't fine, but he didn't want to tell Law that. Even if Cora-San know that Law knew that he was lying. Law was an intelligent kid, and even if he wasn't, well Cora-San was covered in blood, to start with. And the blood was just what Law saw. But Cora-San kept going, knowing that he needed to get Law to safety, what happened then, he didn't know.
Cora-San looked at the boy walking in front of him, and he was proud over how Law handled everything. Cora-San had never imagine having children, never. It wasn't that he didn't like children, he just didn't felt like he wanted to carry on his genes, knowing how his family had been, and he didn't want to risk someone else being like his brother. And even if he was adopted, he never thought of adopting someone, mostly because his life didn't felt safe enough. But then he had met Law, and everything had changes. The young boy, five in age when they met, had stolen his heart. Cora-San didn't know how it happened or why, but Law had just found him. Law had seemed to hate him in the beginning, favouring his brother, something that worried Cora-San. But when Law found him after one of his brother's episodes he had turned. Cora-San didn't know why, but Law had cared for him after that, trying to help him. At first Cora-San had tried to get rid of Law, afraid what his brother may do to the young boy, but Law never left his side, and Cora-San gave in, starting caring for the boy too.
The others didn't say much about it, as long as Law did what he should, and his brother even seemed amused, glad that Cora-San had someone, at least when he was in a good mode. When he wasn't well then Cora-San always asked Law to ran, and Law did. But Law always found him afterwards, often in a state, Cora-San never wished for him to see, but Law didn't say anything, instead he helped him find himself again. And Cora-San felt awful, that he relayed so much on the young boy, but Law did become the centre of his world, the only thing he cared about.
So when Law found him tonight, Cora-San know what he needed to do, he needed to take Law and ran. And that was what he was trying to do now. Cora-San hopped that the others hadn't found out yet, especially not his brother. He needed to get Law to safety before they found out.
"Straight forward" Cora-San said when he saw that Law had stopped at the crossing. Cora-San looked at the street and took a deep breath, knowing he needed to cross here, without any support. He stood up, feeling the pain at once. He took a steep, but felt how unsteady he was. Cora-San tried again, but almost fell, when he felt Law by his side. Law was supporting him, the best way he could, only being eight years old.
"Thank you Law" Cora-San said and Law smiled a week smiled towards him as they started crossing the street.
"How much longer?" Law asked when they were on the other side of the street.
"Not far." Cora-San told him "Right here"
Law turned right, and looked at Cora-San making sure he was following him, and the other man smiled towards him. Cora-San felt that his energy was starting to come to an end, but he would follow Law all the way to the door, that was his goal.
"It's the yellow house" Cora-San said and pointed at a yellow house further down the street, and he was happy to see the house he grew up in, relived even. Law nodded at him and kept walking towards the house. Cora-San could see that the boy was very distrustful to be here, but Law didn't say anything, trusting him. Cora-San almost felt bad for him, knowing that Law wouldn't be happy to meet his father, but Cora-San had no else to turn.
"Knock" Cora-San said, in a very low voice, when they entered the garden and walked towards the door. Law looked at him before he knocked. Cora-San soon heard movements inside the house and smiled, before he fell towards the ground. If he has had the energy he could have laughed, it felt so cliché, falling towards the ground when you almost made it. Cora-San heard the door open, and someone calling his name, before it become dark.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he woke up. He sat up, scared, in the bed and looked around. At first he didn't remember where he was, but he soon saw that he was in his old boy room. And when he saw that he understood that he was in safety, and that was when he started to look for Law, scared of what had happened to the boy.
"He is sleeping in the chair" a familiar voice said to him and Cora-San nodded, without looking at his father, and instead looking at Law. The boy was sitting at his desk chair, leaning against the desk, sleeping.
"He refuses to leave your side" Sengoku said as he walked over to him.
"He normally refuse to do when I am hurt" Cora-San said without thinking.
"When you are hurt?" Sengoku said looking at him, and Cora-San could hear how worried he was.
"Nothing important" Cora-San said and gave his father a smile. "How long was I out?"
"We will talk about this, "nothing important", later" Sengoku said to him, and Cora-San actually rolled his eyes, feeling like his father treated him as a kid once again. "You have been out for three days. You are lucky that Fishbonen could help you!"
Cora-San didn't say anything about it, he just nodded and looked at Law, glad that he was alive, and didn't leave Law alone. He wasn't sure what the boy would do if he got left alone again.
"He don't seem to like me very much?" Sengoku said and Cora-San looked at him. "He has kept his distance, and he barely talk to me, and when he does he isn't very nice"
At those words Cora-San laughed and Sengoku gave him a wondering look.
"I am sorry, but hearing you say that he isn't very nice, well that's just Law's way. He is only really nice to the one close to him" Cora-San said when he stopped laughing, before he got more serious. "And I would guess he don't like you. Don't take it personally, he don't like any marines"
"Why?" Senguko asked.
"He is not from here. He is from Flevance" Cora-San started. "I don't know how he manage to get away; all I know is that it gives him nightmares. That and that the marines killed his family."
"How did he get here? And how did he get cured. There is no cure against the Amber Lead Syndrome" Sengoku said.
"I don't know how he got here. All I know is that he seeked out my brother, wanting to destroy the world" Cora-San started.
"So he is the boy you talked about. The one that gave you a lot of trouble?" he asked and Rosinante nodded.
"He is the one. He come around after he found me, when…Never mind how he come around" Cora-San stopped himself, before he said too much, not wanting to talk about it. "He got cured after we founded a devil-fruit"
"You took the Ope Ope no Mi?" Sengoku said with a very displeased voice.
"I did" Cora-San admitted.
"Rosinante, that fruit was property of the marines!" Sengoku said. "Why did you do that?"
"Would you have let me die, if I was the one that was sick, and you could do something about it?" Rosinante asked and Sengoku looked at him with surprised eyes.
"He means that much to you?" he asked and Cora-San nodded, and at once Sengoku couldn't be mad at Cora-San anymore.
"He does. I see him as my son" Cora-San told his father.
"Does he know that you are a marine?" Sengoku asked after a while.
"I haven't told him, but he knows, he is to intelligent to not know. He has heard me talk to you, and he knew that I never was like the others. That was one of the reasons he disliked me at first" Cora-San said.
"He accepts you even if he knows you are a marine? Even if you said he don't like any marines" Sengoku said and looked at the boy.
"For some reasons, he does" Cora-San said.
"So do you think he will accept me?" Sengoku asked and Rosinante looked at him, a bit wondering. "If he is your son, he is my grandchild, and I would prefer if don't hate me"
"Don't ask him to call you grandfather, and he may accept you, one day" Cora-San told his father.
"Does that mean he will learn my name?" Sengoku asked.
"I am sure he knows your name" Cora-San told him.
"I hope so. Because as it is now, he keeps calling me Senguko" he said and Cora-San smiled.
"Law you know that his name is Sengoku, don't you?" Cora-San asked and looked at the boy, how opened one eye and looked at him.
"He is awake?" Sengoku asked surprised.
"Who can sleep with a marine in the house?" Law asked him and slowly stood up and looked at Cora-San, who nodded towards him. Law walked over to him and Cora-San made space beside him in the bed. "Are you feeling better Cora-San?"
"You know that his name isn't Cora-San?" Sengoku asked and Law gave him a cold look, like he asked if he was stupid.
"His name is Cora-San, just as much as your name is Senguko." Law said, and he sounded very sure.
"Law you are wrong, his name is Sengoku" Cora-San said with a smile and Law shook his head.
"No, it's Senguko! It's you who all are wrong" Law said and told Cora-San that he didn't want to talk about it anymore, he wanted to know if he was alright instead.
"I am better Law. Thank you for helping me get here" Cora-San said and hugged the boy, who didn't say anything, but he hugged him back, very fast, hoping no one would see.
"I will leave you too. Call if you need something" Sengoku said as he left the room.
"Are we safe here?" Law asked, very worried when Sengoku left and Cora-San nodded.
"We are safe here" he answered, at least for now, Cora-San thought. He didn't know what his brother would do to find them, but he hoped they would be safe here.
"Then I will train to get better, so I can protect you" Law said and Cora-San looked down at his son, and he couldn't help himself from crying, and he hugged the boy again.
"Go to sleep now Law" Cora-San only said and Law nodded, and leaned against his father, before he went to sleep.
"Law never stopped calling him Senguko, admitting he was wrong. He just said everyone else was wrong. And Sengoku accepted it, laughing at Law every time he told people they were wrong." Cora-San said to Sanji who looked at Law and smiled.
"Weren't you the sweetest kid" Sanji teased Law, who just gave him the finger, which made the other two laugh. "So they got along well?"
"They learned to do. They actually got very close, and stayed that way until father died, around a year later" Cora-San said and Sanji nodded.
"So if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you stay with the marines?" Sanji asked. Knowing that the other two normally shout down when he asked about their past. Sanji wasn't sure why they did it, and he never asked. As he become older, Sanji was just glad whenever they shared something with him, feeling that they trusted him. All Sanji know was that Cora-Sans brother still looked for them, but he didn't know who it was, the others said it was better if he didn't know. Sanji wasn't sure why he hunted them either, but he had at least got the information that they left him today, and it was something.
"It wasn't safe" Cora-San just said and Sanji know that he wouldn't get more information than that, and he nodded.
"Well I better start with dinner" Sanji said and stood up.
"Need any help?" Cora-San asked.
"From you? No! The last time you used the kitchen you burned Law's eyebrows" Sanji started, and Cora-San looked at Law when his oldest son gave him an angry look. "You cut yourself really bad, left blood all over the floor and you destroyed a window. So no you aren't getting near my kitchen again!"
"But I just wanted to help" Cora-San said, and gave Sanji his puppy eyes.
"Help by sitting still where you are. But I could need some help from you Law if you feel like it?" Sanji asked and Law just stood up and went over to his friend.
"Not fair" Cora-San said to his sons, but none of them listen to him.
Law was sitting in his office, and it was empty right now. He had a two patients further down the hall, but he had already looked at them, and they were sleeping now. So at this moment, he could relax for a bit, at least for now. It had been a stressful day, more patients then normally. A building had collapsed and a lot of people had been hurt. He had treated them all, the best he could, but he had two patients he couldn't save. And two that was badly hurt, and therefore had to stay at the hospital. And as if that hadn't been enough, Luffy had somehow got to his district and starting to call out for Sanji, dragging attention to him. Law had managed to get hold of the boy, stopping him from finding Sanji, but that had only meant that the boy was following him around instead.
"Doctor!" a man was calling for him, and grabbing his hand, but Law pulled away.
"I will be with you soon" Law said and was about to keep walking when the man took a hold of him again.
"I need help now!" the man said and Law looked at him. The man had a broken leg, but Law had other people that needed his help more.
"You need to wait, and if you can't wait, then go and find another doctor!" Law said in a cold voice and kept walking.
"Hey, not nice" Luffy said as he walked next to him, and Law glared at the boy.
"Stop following me, I don't have time for you!" Law said.
"Does Sanji have time for me?" Luffy asked and Law didn't answer as he kept walking.
"Doctor! Look at my husband! You need to treat him now!" a woman said as Law walked past and Law looked at the man, he was hurt, more badly then the man with the broken leg. His head was bleeding, and he had a piece of metal stuck in his shoulder.
"I will soon be with you" Law said and the woman was about to say something. "Just like I have said to others, you are free to leave whenever you want!"
Law know that people that got hurt, always thought they needed the help most, but it irritated him, that they were so selfish.
"You aren't nice to your patients!" Luffy said as Law went to the operating room.
"I am not here to be nice to them!" Law said and stopped Luffy. "You can't go in here. Wait in that room!"
Law saw how Luffy actually did what he asked for, and Law understood that the teenager, wasn't completely stupid. He knew when to listen and Law was happy about that. He got into the room next to the operation room, cleaned himself, even if he normally didn't touch his patients, he didn't want to bring any bacteria with him into the room.
Law walked through the doors, and looked at the young girl, around six years old, lay on the operation table. Law looked at the machines next to her, and he knew that she was in bad condition. Some of her organs was starting to shutting down, and she had internal bleeding. Law knew that he needed to operate now to try to save her life.
"Room" Law said the familiar words and the blue sphere appeared around him and he took the scalpel and started the operation.
When Law walked out form the room, the girl was still in danger, but stable. She needed to stay at the hospital for now. Law avoided the parents, not wanting to deal with their thanks, he just left the room and kept walking to his next patient.
"That was so cool!" Luffy said when he walked up next to him. Law had almost forgotten about him until now. He had been concentrated on the girl, and his job, forgetting about the annoying kid. "You said no to the other ones, because she needed the help more. You are a nice guy, even if you don't show it"
"I can show you how much of a nice guy I am, if you don't shut up" Law said and turned to Luffy with a cold grin, and the kid actually stopped, and for a second he looked scared, but then he smiled again.
"Let's save some people" Luffy said and ran away and Law sighed, stopping himself from killing the boy on the spot. If Sanji started to like this boy, and finding a friend in him, he didn't want to hurt his friend by killing Luffy. But Law know that it would take a lot of energy, not to kill the boy.
"This has been really fun! You get to do this every day?" Luffy asked when they sat in Law's office. Law had taken care of the patients and most of them had gone home.
"It's my job" Law only said as the boy walked around the room, looking at all the organs in the jars on the wall. He looked at all the papers and notes, and he seemed really interesting.
"It must be fun. My job isn't as fun as yours. I only chase away bad guys that threatens the people in my district" Luffy admitted and Law didn't say anything. He had no reason to actually talk to the boy. "But you actually help people!"
"Only when I feel like it" Law said and Luffy turned towards him with a puzzled look, but Law didn't say anything more. He had no reason to explain for Luffy that he only helped people when he felt like it. If it had been a bad day, he had most likely not helped any of them, not caring if they died. He had no bands to any of them, and they didn't matter to him. So they were just lucky that he had a good day.
"Sanji told me you are a good guy. And I think you are. You really care about him, so if you can care about Sanji, you can care about others too" Luffy said and Law rolled his eyes.
"Not that it matters to you, but I do have people I care about, other than Sanji" Law said and Luffy smiled.
"Are they as cool as Sanji?" Luffy asked. "Can I meet them too? I bet they are really cool!"
Law was about to answer Luffy that there was no chance in hell that he would let the teen, met his father and Bepo! It was already bad enough that he had met Sanji, and who know what they boy may be up to. Law didn't want to see his best friend hurt. But before he had the time to tell Luffy anything one of the alarms went off and Law stood up and left the office without even saying anything or waiting for Luffy.
When they got back to his office Law pored himself a glass of whiskey and he handled Luffy one. The teen hesitated for a second before he took the glass.
"Sit" Law said and Luffy did as he was told. Law took a needle and thread and went over to the teen.
"Does that happen often?" Luffy asked, not as happy anymore.
"From time to time" Law admitted and looked at Luffy who nodded and Law started to attend to his wound in the shoulder.
The patient in the room that had sounded the alarm, had gotten hostile. When Law had entered the room, with Luffy close behind him, the man was screaming. He was saying that they had kidnapped and hurt him. Law had tried to calm the man, but as soon as the man got red eyes and started demanding more, Law know that he was lost. Law know that the drug had gotten the hold of him. Law didn't know where the drug came from, or what it did before it ended people life. To be honest he hadn't tried to figure it out either. All he knew was that when the patient got this far, it always ended in death, a violent death. They tried to kill as many as they could before they died themselves. And even if Law didn't know where the drug come from, he could guess. But as the man got rushing towards him, Law made himself ready to kill him, but Luffy had stepped in between them. Law saw how the boys arm stretched as he punched the other man in the face. But the other man had manage to stab Luffy in the shoulder.
"Idiot" Law said as he walked past Luffy, and over to the man. The man's neck was broken and Law stood up.
"Is he dead?" Luffy asked and Law just nodded. "Well then can you look at my shoulder?"
Law looked at Luffy, the boy didn't even seem to reflect over the fact that he just killed someone. That told Law that the boy, how jolly and happy he seemed to be, had been around death. Law didn't say anything about it, not yet, not sure if it was a good thing or not. Being able to kill someone in this shitty town, meant that you could protect yourself and the ones you cared about. But it could also mean that you killed people for no reason. And even if Luffy didn't seem to be like him, Law wasn't sure. He only nodded at Luffy and they walked back to his office.
"What will you do with the body?" Luffy asked.
"I don't know yet. Some of them ends up in the jars, on the wall. Other, well I get rid of them" Law just said and Luffy nodded.
"What was wrong with him?"
"It's a drug. I don't know what kind of drug it is, it leaves no trace, and I haven't heard on any drugs that have the effect this one does" Law said and Luffy nodded.
"Well at least he can't hurt anyone else" Luffy said and took a sip from the glass.
"No" Law said and finished patching up the wound, and Luffy looked at it.
"Wow, you are really good, even better then Chopper" Luffy said and then looked at Law. "Don't let him know that I said that!"
Law only emptied his glass before he refilled it.
"I didn't ask, but you didn't get hurt, did you?" Luffy suddenly asked and Law turned around and faced him.
"He killed me, if you can't see that?" Law said sarcastically and Luffy gave him a question look. "No Mugiwara-Ya, I am not hurt, since some idiot was standing in between"
"Oh good. I don't think Sanji would have liked if I let his friend get hurt!" Luffy said with a big smile and Law just gave him a strange look. To be honest with himself he didn't know how to handle this kid. Compared to a lot of people in the city, he was honest and open, and friendly, very friendly. Law wasn't sure if it was a game or not, but it still made him very confused.
Law didn't answer him, instead he just took another sip from the glass and looked at Luffy. The teen looked out the window, out on the city, and they sat there in silence for a while.
"I need to get back. I have some things to do" Luffy said suddenly and Law just nodded. "Tell Sanji I said hi"
"I will" Law only answered and Luffy smiled.
"I will be back soon" Luffy said as he ran away and before Law had time to tell him not to.
After Luffy had left, Law had kept drinking, trying to figure him out. He wanted to know if he could trust Luffy with Sanji. Which was a ridicules thing, since Law had learned a long time ago, that you can't trust anyone in this town. Trusting people, got you killed, or them killed. Law know there was good people in the city, very few of them, but he was never keen on taking a chance on finding them. But now it seemed like he had to figure it out. Law sighed, he didn't felt like he had time to deal with stupid teens.
Law took another sip from his glass when he heard steps echo from the lower floor. At ones Law stood up, grabbing his sword, not knowing who was coming. Being disturbed made him really irritated. And if it was another patient, he was pretty sure that person would die! He walked took the stairs and soon he stood on the first floor, not seeing anyone yet. But he knew that they soon would be coming around the corner, judging from the sound. Law pulled his sword and made himself prepared for what may come.
"Law!" Bepo screamed when he saw him. Law who got caught off guard, just stared at his friend for a few seconds. Bepo come running towards him with a few people by his side, people Law had no idea who they were. But he could tell that his friend was scared, and he was hurt, just like the others were. They were even carrying someone
"Bepo" Law said with a worried voice as the bear come closer.
"We need your help" Bepo said and Law nodded. He could tell and he looked at Bepo.
"Go to the higher floors!" Law said and Bepo stopped.
"Let me help you!" Bepo said and Law smiled towards his friend.
"No. Go with them. I take care of this!" Law said.
"I am sorry" Bepo answered as he kept running and Law looked at the corridor.
"Room" the blue sphere got activated again and Law was waiting for whatever was coming his way.
Soon he saw some men coming down the hall. The men stopped when they saw him, standing there with his sword.
"Oh, who can this boy be?" one of the men said and laughed.
"Didn't you parent's teach you not to play with swords?"
"Or fight with people bigger then you"
"Let's end him!"
Law just looked at them men, bored, as they rushed towards him. They clearly didn't know who he was, not that it bothered him. It made it all easier for him. Law raised his sword and swung with it in mid-air. The men stopped for a second, but when they saw that they weren't hit, they laughed and was about to keep running. Law looked at them, and smiled.
"Didn't your parent's teach you to know your enemies?" Law said as he took a step closer, raising his hands. He made their bodies fly around. He separated some body parts, putting others together and for a few seconds he enjoyed himself. Making this people scared, and screaming, for his amusement. He relaxed, and smiled.
"I don't take lightly when someone hurts my friend" Law said as he was done with the separation of the men. "And I don't take lightly on people walking into my district without my permission. And I definitely don't take lightly on people who are cowards. Going after people in a group"
"Please don't hurt us!" one man said and Law looked at him.
"And I don't like people interrupt me!" Law said and made the room disappear. Law looked at them men and smiled. As he raised his sword again.
"Please don't kill us like this!"
"The weak don't get to decide anything, not even how they die!" Law said as he let his sword hit the men.
When the screams stopped, Law turned around and started walking up the stairs. He was bloody again, and he smiled. Well at least he got to kill someone today. Someone that dared to attack his friend! Bepo hadn't been badly hurt, Law could tell, but even seeing his friend and family hurt, made him angry. He couldn't handle it. After everything that happened to Cora-San when he was a kid, he doesn't want to see anyone get that hurt again.
When Law opened the door to the highest floor he didn't have time to react, before Bepo attacked him, tackle him to the floor.
"Bepo it's me" Law said and the bear looked at him.
"I am so sorry Law. I was afraid that you were one of them" Bepo said and helped Law up on his feet. "Are you alright? You aren't hurt, are you?"
"I am fine Bepo" Law said with a smile towards the bear, and ruffled the fur on his head. "But you aren't"
"I am sorry" Bepo said and Law just shook his head.
"Come one, let me look at you" Law said and walked towards his office.
"Can you look at my friends too?" Bepo asked and Law just nodded as he kept walking. Law walked into his room, and looked at the half empty glass and emptied it, before he filled it again. Seeing Bepo getting hurt by someone, had shaken him, not that he would admit that.
"Should he really be drinking, if he is going to look at us?" one of the men asked.
"Should you really be talking so loud, when the person you talk about, are in the same room as you?" Law asked without looking at them.
"Come here Bepo" Law said and Bepo walked over to him and sat at the chair, Luffy had been sitting a few hours ago. Law looked at Bepo. He had a few cuts, and was bleeding from the head. Law walked over to a shelf and grabbed what he needed.
"What happened?"
"I am sorry" Bepo said and Law smiled towards him.
"No need for that, just tell me what happened" Law said.
"I was out playing with Penguin and Shachi" Bepo started and pointed at the two men with hats. Law looked at them really fast and nodded. "We didn't do anything special, mostly walking around, talking about stuff, when we saw them"
Law looked at the other men in the room, who didn't say anything.
"They were fighting the men that chased us, and we wanted to help them" Bepo said.
"Why?" Law asked, without caring that the others heard.
"Because you say that the weak doesn't get to decide anything. And I don't want to be weak. I want to be able to help people, like you help me and Sanji" Bepo said and Law just looked at the bear for a second, before he hugged him.
"You aren't weak Bepo, never think that. And never go and do stupid things like that!" Law whispered to him. "And definitely do not try to be like me!"
"But you are strong, and you can fight. You took care of the men" Bepo said and looked at Law's bloody clothes. Law smiled towards him.
"I fight, because you and the others shouldn't have to. But I don't want you to be like me! I don't want anyone to be like me!" Law told Bepo who looked at him and nodded. Bepo who had been with Law and Cora-San since they lived with Sengoku nodded. He knew what they had been through and he understand what Law was referring too. He knew what Law had been doing. But Bepo only wished he could protect people too, he didn't mean to worry Law.
"I am sorry" Bepo said again and Law just nodded.
"Just be careful" Law said "And if you want to become stronger, I can teach you. As long as you don't go and do stupid things"
"Teach us too!" Penguin and Shachi suddenly said and Law looked at them.
"We want to learn too! We couldn't help them either, or protect Bepo. But he is our friend, we want to learn!" Penguin said.
"Yes please teach us!" Shachi said and Law didn't know what to say.
"Can you do that Law? Can you teach all of us?" Bepo asked and Law sighed, he know that Bepo would teach the other two anyway. Law didn't know this two men, not at all, and he didn't trust them, even if Bepo did. But if he thought them some things, they may be able to protect Bepo if something happens. But Law also know that they could betray him. Law didn't know which he preferred. But since Bepo would teach them anyway, at least he could keep an eye on them, while they were training. Law sighed and Bepo smiled.
"Thank you" he said and Law only nodded.
"Let me look at the rest of you" Law said when he was done with Bepo.
"Can you start with him?" Penguin asked and Law looked at the unconscious man and nodded.
"Place him on the bed" Law said and a more or less bald man, carrying him did. Law walked over to the man and looked at him, a bit surprised. Law hadn't expected to see the man here in his district. But Law focused on his injuries, instead of who he was, he had a broken arm, a few broken ribs, and was bleeding from the head, and had been doing so for a longer time, judging from how pale he was.
"Move" Law said to the men standing around him. Knowing that they was worried about the badly hurt man, but Law needed more room.
"Room" Law said and picked up a knife and was just about to cut the man open, to take a look at his ribs when a man with a red mask tackled him to the ground.
"What the hell are you doing?" Law shouted as he felt how his head hurt, from where he hit the floor.
"What are you doing?" the man asked and Law was about to actually shout at him, when Bepo removed the man from him.
"He is helping him" Bepo said "It's his devil fruit. Trust me he knows what he is doing"
Penguin offered him a hand and Law looked at the other man, before he got up on his own. Penguin didn't say anything about it, and Law was glad for that. Not feeling like dealing with that too. He turned towards the man again, cutting him this time. He felt how the men looked at him, but Bepo's words must have had some effect, since none of them did anything. Law looked at the ribs, seeing that one of them was deadly near to puncturing the man's lung. If he had been moving around a lot more, it most likely had. Carefully Law removed it from the lung and put it back in place with the others. He made sure that nothing else was damaged before he closed the man again, turning towards the man's arm. He did the same there as he had done with the ribs and when he was done with the arm, he stitched up the head wound. The man would have bruises for a few days, and feel weak, but he would be fine. When he was done Law stood up and gave the man a cold glare.
"He will be fine" Law said as he went over to his glass, taking another sip.
"That was amazing!" Shachi said.
"You can just do that to people, without a problem?" Penguin asked, but Law didn't answer as he sat down in his chair. Closing his eyes, for a second.
"Can you look at the others now?" Bepo asked very carefully.
"They will be fine. It's just scratches. There is bandages on the shelf" Law said.
"Are you sure?" Bepo asked.
"They will be fine" Law snapped at him, before he realised what he had done. "I am sorry Bepo"
"How long has it been since you slept?" Bepo asked.
"A few days" Law admitted and Bepo nodded.
"I am sorry" Bepo said and Law just shook his head. "I will call Sanji, he will pick you up, and take you home"
"I need to stay. I have two patients here, they may need me" Law said.
"You need to sleep" Bepo said and Law turned towards the bear.
"I know Bepo. And I will sleep when I am done here, and when I can" Law said and Bepo nodded.
"Then I call Sanji to get here and wait for you!" Bepo said and left the room before Law had the time to say anything.
No one said anything in the room. Law was staring out the window, looking at the city. The others seemed really nervous, or worried about the man.
"Why are Hawkins and his men here, in my district?" Law finally asked, without looking at them. "Who was the men chasing you, and why?"
"Like we would tell you!" The man in the mask said.
"I saved you. So I would appreciate if I know, who's men I killed." Law said. None of the others answered him and Law was about to ask again when he heard the man in the bed get up.
"I think he deserves some answers, for what he did" Hawkins said in a calm voice.
"Are you sure boss? Is it really wise?" the man in the mask asked.
"Mikaro, who can tell what's wise anymore?" Hawkins asked the man in the mask. Mikaro didn't answer.
"Can you leave us, so I can talk with the surgeon alone?" the man asked. His men looked at him before they nodded and left. Penguin and Shachi looked at him, like asking for permission to leave and Law just nodded. Feeling that he needed to talk to them about that later.
"Do you have more of that?" the man asked and pointed at the glass Law was holding. Law pointed at a shelf and he nodded, stood up, unsteady, and walked over. "I guess you are the one I need to thanks for my life, and for saving us?"
"I would thank Bepo, if I was you" Law answered as the man sat down, opposite of him.
"I will remember to thank him" Hawkins said "But I am sure that he wasn't the one healing my wounds. I am sure that was the surgeon of death"
Law didn't argue with that, but he didn't say anything either, he just took a sip from his glass.
"So what made the surgeon of death, doing that for a stranger?" he asked.
"Bepo" Law only asked and Hawkins nodded.
"You do crazy things for the ones you care about. Like walking into another man's district" he said and Law didn't say anything, so the man continued. "The men you killed, where Kaido's, I apologise for forcing you hand like that. It wasn't my intention to make you go against him"
Law only nodded. He had crossed Kaido's men before, leading to their deaths. He preferred to stay out of the man's way, but he wasn't scared of him. And it was his men that walked into his district, they only had themselves to blame. But this wasn't something he was going to let the stranger know.
"And I would say that they were chasing us, because they saw an opportunity. After everything that happened, my district become smaller and weaker. And Kaido, like the others saw a chance, and took it. I was expecting the attack from Black Beard, but Kaido surprised us all. The cards never warned me about him." Hawkins said. "But making us leave our district wasn't enough, they wanted to kill us. So I looked at the cards, and I saw that the best option was to run. I thought about the territories in town, and I thought yours was the best one. I couldn't go to the others, knowing it would mean death, but with you I didn't know what it meant. And I took a risk"
Law looked at him for a while, before he said anything.
"And what do you want me to do, now that you are here?" Law asked.
"That I don't know. I am alive so far, even if that is because of Bepo" Hawkins said and Law turned to face the window again. What the hell was he supposed to do? He could kill them all, but he knew that would hurt Bepo. Sure Bepo would get over it, but Law didn't like hurting his family if he didn't need to. Sending out Hawkins and his men on the street again, they would most likely be killed in another district, or captured by the marines. But there was also the risk that they returned and attacked him. It was a slim chance, but he wasn't willing to take that one.
"Can I make a proposal?" Hawkins asked and Law looked at him, and nodded. It wouldn't hurt to hear what the other man had to say. "Would you consider letting us join you and your gang?"
"Join me?" Law asked in surprise "There is nothing to join"
"Well if we joined you, it would be the start of a gang" Hawkins said.
"Your gang" Law said and Hawkins didn't answer him. Law wasn't interested in having a gang, he had never wanted to join one, not after what happened when he was a kid. And he didn't want to have people close.
"No one manage on their own, not in this city" Hawkins said.
"No one manage if they gang up with the wrong people" Law said to him and Hawkins laughed at those words.
"You sound like you are talking out of experience" he said, but Law didn't answer him. "You can't take on the city, all by yourself"
Law still didn't say anything, he had no intention on telling what his plans was to this stranger. A man that had his own gang, and now wanted to join him. Law didn't trust it at all. People never did that, if they didn't want anything.
"Do it Law!" Law heard Bepo's voice through the door. Law sighed and opened the door, and looked at the bear standing there with Shachi and Penguin. "It would be really nice to have them in our gang"
"Our gang?" Law asked and Bepo nodded.
"If you are creating a gang, we are joining" Bepo told him and the other two smiled.
"We aren't creating a gang" Law told them, but Bepo just smiled.
"We are, and you don't have a choice!" Bepo said and looked at Hawkins.
"Welcome aboard Hawkins" Bepo said and Hawkins smiled.
"Thank you Bepo. And also thank you for helping us"
"It was nothing" Bepo said and Law looked at all of them, feeling that he lost control of the situation.
"We aren't creating a gang. Stop welcoming them!" Law snapped at them, just as Sanji walked into the room, looking confused.
"We have created a gang" Bepo said to Sanji, who didn't know how to react. He saw Bepo's smiling face, being happy about it. But he also saw that Law, was far from happy. He saw that his friend was very displeased about this, and Sanji know that this was something Law really didn't want.
"I think you should hold that thought for the moment Bepo" Sanji told the bear as he walked over to Law. "What if all of you sleep on it?"
"But we have already decided" Bepo said, sounding sad.
"You have all decided. I don't think Law has decided anything. And you can't force him to do this" Sanji said and Bepo slowly nodded. "Shall we go home Law?"
Sanji looked at Law as he took his sword and left the room without a word to the others, and Sanji could tell how upset he was. Sanji couldn't remember if he had ever seen him this upset.
"I am sorry Sanji" Bepo said and Sanji smiled towards the bear.
"I know that you are. Just let me talk to him and see what I can do" he said.
"What shall I do with them?" Bepo asked and looked at Hawkins, who was still sitting in the chair. He smiled towards Sanji when he looked at him. Sanji forced himself not to look away, not found of strangers smiling at him. But with Law gone, and Bepo unsure, he felt like he needed to take control.
"They can stay here for a while" he said "Just don't do anything to make Law kill you"
With those words he left the others to go after Law, who had almost gotten out of the hospital when Sanji caught up. Law didn't say anything, and he didn't need to. Sanji could tell that Law was worried, angry, a bit hurt from Bepo's action, but mostly scared. Sanji didn't know why, but he guessed it had something to do with what happened to him as a kid.
"Let's go home. I will make us some dinner, and then I will try to help you sleep" Sanji said and took Law's hand, to trying to comfort him.
"Is Cora-San home?" Law asked.
"I don't know. He left soon after you did, and he hadn't got back when I left." Sanji said and Law just nodded. Sanji felt like Law needed his father in this moment, and he hoped that Cora-San would be home soon.
Cora-San looked at the casino. He hadn't shown it, but telling Sanji that story had made him remember things he didn't want to. And this time he hid it, not wanting to take it out on Law. Instead he had waited for Law to leave the next morning, and when he had, Cora-San had called Crocodile.
"Crocodile" the other man said, sounding busy.
"Hi, it's Cora-San. We met a few weeks ago. Not sure if you remember" Cora-San said, but at those words Crocodile laughed.
"I remember, and not because you were bad" Crocodile said and those words made Cora-San smile for some reason.
"I hope I am not disturbing you?" Cora-San asked. He didn't know when Crocodile was working, and he hoped he hadn't disturbed the other man.
"Not at all. I am only reading some papers, so you are actually saving me from boredom" Crocodile answered.
"Well glad to hear that I can save someone" Cora-San said without thinking about it. He could almost hear Crocodile, wanting to ask about it, but Cora-San kept talking instead. "Do you have time to meet me?"
"I have time, and if I hadn't have time, I am sure I could have made time" Crocodile said with a laugh. "When?"
"Well I am free now, so as soon as you can" Cora-San said.
"I tell my guards to let you in, when you get here" Crocodile said.
"See you soon" Cora-San said and hang up.
He had told Sanji he was heading out, and his son had given him a question look, but as always he never asked, only told him to stay safe. Cora-San smiled at those words, Sanji didn't know what he had done or could do, he only saw him as a gentle person. But he was happy for that, not wanting to scare Sanji. That kid had been through enough already. No Cora-San tried to shelter him from what he had and could do. The only one knowing that was Law. Cora-San felt guilty for what he had put that kid through, even if Law never complained. But he was pleased with himself, that he hadn't blamed Law for his misery this time. And hopefully Crocodile could help him forget everything, like the last time.
Cora-San walked through the casino, not stopping at any of the tables or bars, instead he headed for the door Crocodile showed him the last time. He was actually a bit nervous that the guards wouldn't let him in. That Crocodile either hadn't had time to tell them yet, or was fooling him. But when he got to the door, the man opened the door without looking at him, and let him in. Cora-San walked towards the Crocodiles room and when he got there, he knocked.
"You may enter" a voice said and Cora-San did enter. Crocodile was sitting behind his desk, still reading some papers. "I am almost done. You can take something from the bar if you want"
Cora-San nodded and went to the bar to pour himself a drink. He took the glass and walked over to the tank with the crocodile in. Just as the first time he was there, he was really fascinated with it. He looked at it as it, swam around, and looked at him from time to time.
"There is food in the cabinet, if you want to feed here" Crocodile said without taking his eyes from the papers. Cora-San looked at the cabinet and opened it. Inside was a fridge with a bucket of meat. Cora-San took a piece of meat and closed it again. He looked at the tank and saw the opening in it. He threw it in there, and he saw how the water got bloody, and how the crocodile went after it, in seconds. It tore the meat to pieces and Cora-San looked, not sure how to react.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Crocodile said as he walked up to him.
"In a way it is" Cora-San admitted and Crocodile laughed.
"Not everyone would admit that" he said. "And I apologise for that"
Cora-San looked at the paper but shook his head.
"Nothing to apologise. I am the one getting in the way of your work" Cora-San said.
"Like I said before, you are saving me from boredom" Crocodile answered as he pressed his lips against Cora-Sans. Rosinante felt the taste of smoke, and of something more, something he couldn't place. Soon he felt Crocodiles tongue, asking for entrance, and Cora-San parted his lips. They fought for dominance, until Cora-San gave in, letting Crocodile win.
Crocodile removed Cora-Sans coat, and let it fall to the floor, almost making Cora-San fall over when Crocodile moved them towards the bed. But Crocodile caught him.
"Well I am eager too, but the floor is very uncomfortable, trust me" he said with a smile and all Cora-San could to was nod, dumb fooled. As they laid down on the bed, Cora-San took some of the commando back. Feeling that he didn't want to give Crocodile all the power. He turned the other man around, and was now sitting on top of him. And Crocodile smiled towards him as Cora-San was starting to unbutton his shirt slowly, with his teeth.
"You have done this before" Crocodile said, and Cora-San only nodded, as dragged his nails along Crocodiles chest.
Cora-San removed Crocodiles shirt, along with his own, before he went for his pants.
"You can do that with your teeth too?" Crocodile asked as Cora-San lowered himself, with a smile. He went for the button on Crocodiles pants and opened it with his teeth's, before he went for the zipper. Cora-San felt how Crocodile started to get hard under him, and he smiled. Well despite everything that had happened to him, this was something he had gotten good at, he knew how to pleasure other men. When he had unzipped Crocodiles pants he took them off, with his underpants. Cora-San smiled as he looked into Crocodiles eyes and closed his lips around Crocodiles cock. He saw the surprise in the other man's eyes, before he started to play with his tongue around it. Soon making Crocodile moan, and as Crocodile did, Cora-San felt himself getting harder. Cora-San went deep without a problem, something that seemed to make Crocodile moan more, and Cora-San was about to continue when Crocodile stopped him.
"I want to have some fun too" he said and pulled down Cora-San. Cora didn't protest, he just followed and Crocodile smiled as he started to undress him.
Soon they were both naked and Crocodile smiled, and for a second Cora-San thought he looked like the crocodile in the tank, like a predator. But as fast as he thought he saw it, it was gone. Crocodile pressed his lips against him, hard as his hand was wondering down to his cock. Cora-San felt how Crocodile grabbed him, as his fingers almost danced over it, and a moan soon left Cora-Sans lips, into Crocodile's mouth. Crocodile seemed as pleased when he could pleasure him, as Cora-San was.
"Give me the lube!" Crocodile said and Cora-San looked at the night stand next to him and took the lube. Crocodile took it from him and covered his fingers, he looked at Cora-San who nodded and Crocodile started by putting one of them into his arse. Cora-San felt the familiar feeling between pain and pleasure and he moaned again. Crocodile took that as a sign to continue, and when he felt that Cora-San was ready he put in another finger, and then another. When he removed them Cora-San felt empty for a second before he felt how Crocodile entered him. Cora-San moaned again, especially since Crocodiles hand, grabbed his cock again.
At this moment Cora-San forgot about everything, he only felt Crocodile inside him, filling him with pleasure. He heard his own breathing and his own heart, pounding against his chest. He heard Crocodiles moan, with his own and he soon felt how he was starting to get near his climax.
"I am near" Crocodile whispered and Cora-San nodded, giving him permission to cum inside of him. And soon Cora-San felt the familiar warmth inside of him and he felt how he wasn't far behind Crocodile. Crocodile pulled out and collapsed beside him.
"Well that wasn't a bad way to start the day" Crocodile said while he tried to catch his breath.
"I was hoping it would continue a while longer" Cora-San said when he could breath. Because as soon as they both were done, he started to feel the memories and thoughts again.
"I have all day" Crocodile said and Cora-San nodded.
When Cora-San had felt happy he had left Crocodile, who hadn't seemed to mind, since he seemed to be in a good mood too. Crocodile told him to call whenever he felt like it, and Cora-San nodded, not saying anything about it. He didn't want to promise him anything. Cora-San knew he most likely would call again, but he didn't want to lie. So instead he had said goodbye and left the same way he got there, once again missing Crocodiles, smile when he did.
Cora-San lit a cigarette on his way home, and managed not to set himself on fire, it maybe because he tripped and felt in a puddle, but he didn't care about that. He didn't even care about the pain he felt, the only thing he cared about was that he no longer felt bad, and was haunted by memories. So when he walked into the apartment, he was actually whistling. Until he saw his sons. He saw Sanji sitting at the table, trying to make Law eat, which was unusual, since it was normally the other way around. But Cora-San knew that something had made Law feel very bad. He hadn't seen Law like this in years.
"Thank god you are home. I don't know what to do" Sanji admitted and Cora-San nodded.
"It's okay" Cora-San said to Sanji and walked over to Law. "Law?"
Law looked at Cora-San and Cora-San saw the horror that more often was haunting his own face, then Law's. Something made him think of the past, the worse parts of the past.
"Let's get you to bed" Cora-San said and helped Law up. Law didn't even protest. "You can sleep in my bed tonight. You too Sanji if you feel like it"
Sanji only nodded, having a feeling that Law may need them both there.
Cora-San walked Law towards his bedroom, before he grabbed Law's pyjamas pants from his room, handling them to Law, how just got changed, without thinking about it.
"Where is Bepo?" Cora-San asked, worrying about the bear. But ones he said those words he saw a change in Law, actually anger, something he had never seen Law show towards Bepo.
"He is still at the hospital. Let's talk about that tomorrow" Sanji said and Cora-San nodded before he got changed, trying to hide the scars from the past, and the marks Crocodile from Sanji, not wanting him to see either. But if Sanji saw them he didn't say anything about it. Cora-San got into bed and Law soon laid down beside him, crawling into his arms, without thinking about it. Cora-San didn't say anything about it, he just holds him, like he had done when Law was a kid. Sanji soon laid down on the other said of Law taking his hand, smiling towards his friend.
"Everything is going to be fine Law" Cora-San whispered to his son, before he started singing a lullaby, that he used to sing for Law when he was a kid, hoping to make Law feel better. And Cora-San relaxed when he felt how Law fall asleep. He smiled towards Sanji, before both of them closed their eyes, and fell asleep.
