Currently on a boat Law had a simple thought in mind. What he would do moving forward.
He had extracted much intel from Shinji, amongst the information was of the location of the destination of this boat and what they were intending to do exactly. It was to a tower in the ocean called Tower of Joy, a place where about 700 slaves and about two hundred slavers were located. The explanation about they trying to connect with and bring Zelref back to life sounded just like a bad joke for Law since he knew that Zelref was alive.
His brother told him so once in passing even if Law had no idea how his brother knew that or where Zelref was currently. Regardless, Law knew that even if the plan of this tower could never work they still had hundreds of slaves captured there. He could not simply let that go so he decided to go there and save them.
How could he become the strongest mage if he could not even defeat a few slavers?
However, he had a problem in that he had no real clue on what to do when getting there. By one hand he could just move forward and go defeating all the slavers, as long as he stood on the outside of the Tower he would certainly keep his powers at a maximum as he could just eat the Sun and Moon depending on what time of the day it was, but when he gets inside the tower he would be unable to replenish his energy and could be defeated from lack of energy.
With a frown, Law decided not to worry about that any more than he already did. What he could do now was prepare himself mentally to what there was to come by chanting the words his brother said helps in getting in the right mood for a big battle.
'This is amazing! I feel Incredible! Yes. Yes. Yes! Yes! I can win! I feel great! I! Can! Do! This! This is amazing! I feel Incredible! Yes. Yes. Yes! Yes! I can win! I feel great! I! Can! Do! This!'
Rinse and repeat, it is quite therapeutical really. Thankfully the boat had an 'auto-pilot' function so Law could spend his time hyping himself.
During that night the Tower of Joy was decidedly unjoyous right now. That was so for both Slaves and Slavers, even if for entirely different reasons.
The slaves were troubled that their meager rations were being rationed further as the tower was under 'siege', but the Slavers were even worse off since a big part of their forces was now tied up outside the tower.
Quite literally as Law had arrived in the island, making a huge ruckus and about half of the slavers went to 'greet' him when they realized they had an intruder. The problem was that tonight was a full moon, thus Law's Moon Devil Slayer power were in it's apex and when using the power of a Devil Slayer Law was not the overly merciful type.
He had defeated all the slavers who went out. The slavers were weak as they were used to only bullying others and having the advantage that their 'targets' could not really fight back most of the time anyway due to their chains suppressing what magic power they could have.
However, Law under the influence of his devil slayer powers, did not think sufficient to just defeat them. Instead he tied them up and created a pile out of the defeated slavers. When the 100 slavers were put in a small mountain Law climbed it and sat on top of said mountain, the yells of pain from the slavers not making him move at all and he decided to just wait and see if there would be any movement inside the tower.
He knew, according to his brother, that most slavers depend not on actual power but in the appearance of power. That was further explained by Makarov who said that many slavers use fear to make their slaves obey, thinking so law decided to bank in on that.
He would break the ilusion of power and fear that the slavers had created, with that and the lower numbers he could expect the slaves to start a revolt and, if they did that, he would be able to hear.
Any revolt would lead to chaos and the chaos would be the perfect chance for Law to move and eliminate what slavers there are left. He only had to wait, hunger and a lack of fear would lead the slaves into fighting for their freedom for sure and he only had to wait a little while longer for that.
The next night someone came out of the Tower to talk. It was not one of the slavers, as he had hoped to increase the size of his mountain, but instead a lonely boy.
As Law was still using his Devil Slayer Magic his personality was quite heartless and cold, taking great pleasure at seeing the slavers groaning in pain, but the slave boy in front of him was a completely different story.
He was a scrawny boy of eight or nine years old, he had messy short blue hair and a tattoo over the left side of his face. He was dressed in only rags and was looking up at Law with fear. Seeing this Law receeded his Moon Devil Slayer powers and changed to the Sun God Slayer Magic.
As it was night now his powers dropped but, in exchange, so did the influence of the God Slayer powers had over him.
When the boy got closer he could sense warmth from Law unlike anything he remembers feeling in the Tower of Joy. He looked up at him in slight awe and Law smiled kindly at him.
"Hey there, want some food?" Law asked easily enough, he had separated some food just in case and whenever he could he would go fish. His nose and ears were sensitive enough to notice if anyone were to try and move out of the Tower so it was all fine. Thankfully the power of the Moon Devil Slayer powers had some degree of power over the sea due to the tides being controlled by the moon. Thanks to that he could make the fish come out much easier which made his haul from fishing all the better.
Upon seeing the food the boy's face showed great greed and his stomach grumbled loudly, but the boy could not even pretend to care if he was showing how hungry he was.
Coming closer Law took out a fish and started preparing it easily enough. His brother and the guild master always reminded him how in missions it was entirely possible to get somewhere that he could not simply find prepared meals so he had to be self-sufficient. As such Law knew how to cook and always had some utensils ready just in case.
As the boy saw the food he could not hold himself back and started devouring it without any sign of remorse, his hunger being such that even if it was poison he would probably eat it just the same.
After about 10 minutes of this he fell back with a content smile on his face, his belly full for the first time in likely years.
"So? Who are you and why exactly did they send you out?" Law asked the kid who looked like he just returned from heaven back to earth.
"My name is Jelal, and I was sent out because the guards want to know what would it take for you to leave." Jelal said and law laughed at that.
"Leave, why would I do that? From this place I am I can make sure none of them get out at all and if any slave does gets out then they can just stay here without a problem anymore." Law said and Jelal's ears perked up hearing that.
"You, you mean-"
"Yep." Law said. "As long as you guys can get out I will protect you all. Heck, if a revolt starts now that half the guards are out I can sneak in and capture the other guards and save everyone. I only didn't do that yet because I am not sure my magic reserves would last prolongued fight against who knows how many people."
Jelal, hearing this, had his eyes sparkling a bit as he spoke.
"Leave it to me then, I will start the revolt then and help you save everyone."
