Here is the official first chapter, as the previous one was more of an introduction. Chapters may be short as this was actually meant to be a one-shot, but I'll try to update fast ;D Cheers~
Trafalgar Law is sitting in the passengers seat, as he still waits for the arrival of his new student who is already ten minutes too late. The car is parked near Dawnstreet 174 and can be seen from Luffy's house (or so he thinks). The man has already honked twice to make sure the new student knows that he has already here, yet there is no sign of anything. Of course, Law can also have mistaken the address, but chances are low that there's another Dawnstreet near the school.
Or perhaps Law is being trolled, which isn't the first time either (much to his regret).
Law grabs the phone from his pocket as he wants to make a call. The moment he finds the number in the history list, a giant explosion appears in front of Luffy's house. A door with a boy blast from the giant smoke, a scene that the raven-haired has never witnessed before.
The flying person somehow manages to land on his feet and started to run towards Law's car. Before the Law can even progress anything, the same boy is already standing next to door of the vehicle.
The teen opens the door, laughs as he steps in and takes the seat behind the wheel. "I'm Monkey D. Luffy. Nice to meet you!" the boy introduces and extended his hand. He smiles cheerfully, while the confused Law accepts his hand and shakes it.
The boy wears a straw-hat on his head and his clothes were rather simple. He has a red sweater without sleeves and blue jeans that ends at his knees. Around his waist he is wearing a striking yellow belt. There also is a scar below his left eye, which doesn't surprise Law after watching the earlier performance.
His looks spells indeed trouble.
"Trafalgar Law, likewise," the man replies with the composure he still has left. Since this is their first meeting, he might as well ignore and pretend the earlier event. Everyone deserves a new chance, even... this guy.
"Tra-.. Tora.. Traffy," the new student tries, but fails and creates a nicknames instead.
"It's Trafalgar," Law corrects after sighing. The boy surely knows how to give a bad impression, but since Law is a patient man, he decides to give him another chance. However, this is really the last one, or else he will kick the boy out of the car before lessons have even started.
"Before we start, I need to ask you a few questions so I have better insight in your driving. Tell me, have you driven before?"
"Yeah" he answers short, but clear.
"I see. Then I want you to show me what you've already learned. Based on your current skills, I can calculate how many lessons you'll need," Law explains as he puts on his safety belts like normal passengers do. He waits for Luffy to do the same, but sees him reaching for the wheel instead.
"Your belts."
Luffy grunts because of his disapproval. "But belts are suffocating!" he yells and pouts.
"No one cares. It's for safety."
"But I don't wanna..." the boy whines and furrows his eyebrows, just like a child who doesn't want to eat his vegetables.
Law who predicts that this could end up in an endless discussion, decids to take action himself. He loosens his own belt to be able to move. He leans above Luffy and pulls the strap from his seat. The sight of forcing the boy to put on his seat-belt is ridiculous, but at least he can progress further now.
"Your first lesson ends in forty-five minutes. You better start driving," Law suggests and settles himself back. He already feels a growing pain in his head from not even starting teaching, but that comes with being a constructor in general.
"Traffy's no fun..." Luffy complains and tries to switch gears. He moves the stick to number one and wants to drive away, except that he couldn't move the gear at all.
Law watches him with crossed his arms, still suffering from his growing headache. "You need to push down the clutch pedal," Law explains as the student looks down doubtful at his feet. Law notices and helps him out once again by giving him the answer. "The left most pedal."
"Ah, I forgot. Thank you," the boy thanks and laughs. He depresses the clutch pedal and switches gears like it should. With his right foot he steps on the gas pedal and manages to drive forward without any struggle. The speed however, wasn't something that the instructor appreciated nor expected, as he immediately stepped on the brake on his side of the car to abruptly stop the vehicle.
"We stopped," Luffy states as he points out the obvious. Law is just glad that no one happens to be walking around them or else they might have bumped into the person.
"Luffy-ya," Law calls with an indifferent tone of voice. "Did you check your mirrors?"
"No."
"And why is that?" the instructor questions again as he slowly loses his patience. Even though Luffy told him that he had driven before, Law sees nothing of that back in his 'driving'. They have however, progress five meters forward, which that is a miracle, because moving a car is usually difficult for beginners.
The straw-hatted teen laughs again, the same laughter that Law already has imprinted in his brain and made note of. Luffy then answers with an unforeseen reply.
"I told everyone to stay inside!", he answers proudly, but Law had yet to let his answer sink in.
Either Luffy is trying to fool him by acting like this or Luffy was... Well...
Luffy.
Law had slow-learners in the past before, but they were usally the type of person that weren't confident about themselves. That made their driving unsure. However, this isn't the case with Luffy at all, because the boy is practically beaming with self-insurance and the taller raven-haired cannot help but thinking of it as strange. Even his first impression is out of the books, because normal people do not appear from an explosion and act like nothing has happened.
What is Monkey D. Luffy?
Law cannot stop staring at him, studying, while trying to make sense of the boy. He sees the smaller male smiling back at him and his confusion changes into curiosity instead. Law realizes that Luffy is far different from his previous students. Law wonders whether he's able to keep up with the instructing, but he accepts the challenge nonetheless.
He doesn't like to lose after all.
While the days of teaching only begins here, it's also a start of something that even the Trafalgar Law cannot foresee.
I'm still figuring out Law's character, so I hope I haven't made him that OOC
