Day 6: Pirate :)
This one isn't very good, but I wanted to post a story every day, so here it is.
The Path to Power
Law was going to finish what Cora-san had started, that was something he had decided the same day that Cora-san had died. Deciding how he would go about accomplishing it was something that required some more thought. He needed to become stronger if he wanted to stand a chance of killing Doflamingo: so strong, in fact, that most people would recognize his name and either fear or admire it.
The reactions to his name would depend mostly on the path he chose to reach that level of power.
Law hated the World Government, and he would never work for them, be it either as a marine or as any other type of soldier. He could become a bounty hunter, he guessed, but in a way that would mean helping the government as well, even if it was in a roundabout way, and thus he discarded that option too.
There was that rising force that was becoming a very serious thorn in the government's side, the Revolutionary Army, that might be able to help him reach a good level of strength. They had some very powerful fighters, that was true, but Law wasn't in a position where he could devote to freeing countries when he had his own mission already, and he didn't like too much the idea of following orders.
He smirked.
If he didn't want to help the government or to follow orders, that left him with basically one more option.
He could almost imagine the scolding that Cora-san would give him for this decision, when Cora-san had put so much effort into keeping children, even Law himself, away from such a path.
Law finished the whiskey he wasn't nearly old enough to be drinking and stood from his seat at the back of the dingy bar. It would still take a while before he followed that path, Law would need to be much stronger than he was now before he revealed himself to the world, because he didn't know how much time he would have before encountering Doflamingo once he did, but his mind was already made.
As he left the bar, Law wondered whether Cora-san would be chagrined or flattered at having a pirate crew –Law's pirate crew—named in his honor.
