I have a summer break, yet I didn't update as quickly as I should OTL I'm too addicted to video games and I hate warmth _

Monkey D. Luffy.

A loud, reckless student who was in Law's care. The guy was fearless, carefree and always cheery. He loved talking about food until he started to drool or shouting about his dream until everyone had heard him. The weirdest thing about him, was the fact that Trafalgar Law loves this guy despite all the troubles that came with him.

For example; How did this unbelievable person fell asleep right after they had done it? Law would be lying if he said that he wasn't feeling sleepy either, but sleeping in the car in a rather uncomfortable position? Not a chance. This was another mystery which he added to his 'unsolved mysteries of Monkey D. Luffy', if he ever had the chance to write it because right now, he had to deal with the biggest problem.

After struggling here and there, Law had managed to get out of the seat and placed Luffy in a not-so-gentlemanly manner on the unoccupied seat. He tried to yell him awake, but unfortunately for the man, the smaller raven-haired didn't wake up at all. He fixed the boy to make him look a little less messy for one reason: Monkey D. Garp.

Now Law didn't know much about this man. The only thing that Luffy had told him was that he was a well paid marine. However, he still remembered the punch that had caused a blast near the front door. He could only imagine Garp's reaction if he'd ever find out about his little grandson who had his virginity taken by his driver instructor...

How was Law going to explain why they were late?

How was Law going to explain why Luffy had fallen asleep?

How was Law going to explain anything?

No matter, he had promised to drive Luffy home. Realizing that he still couldn't wake up, he had no other choice then to go for it and meet the consequences.

Law arrived at Dawnstreet and parked his car. After shutting down the motor, he picked up the boy in bridal style and had somehow managed to lock the car while holding the sleeping figure. Slowly as he could, he walked towards the mansion, but despite his non-rushing pace, Law stood in front of the door in no time.

When Law wanted to call, a green-colored hair maid opened up and invited them both inside.

"Luffy!" she shouted and held the door open. She looked worried but that was perhaps because they were much later than usual. Plus, Luffy was still snoring in his arms...

After the maid had closed the door behind them, an old wrinkled man came running to him and it was then that Law started to panic.

"Luffy! What happened to him?" he asked in a demanding voice, probably because he was worried as well.

"Garp-ya, he-" Law wanted to explain, but the next thing he remembered was Luffy flying out of his arms. Law stared straight to his empty arms, his eyes wider than they have ever been. He only noticed later that Luffy had finally woken up but not in his arms but on the floor instead.

"What? What?" the teen questioned confused as he held the bump on his head carefully with his hand. He looked around him, almost as surprised as Law himself.

"Huh? Grandpa? Makino?"

"Luffy, you fell asleep didn't you?" Garp asked with a dangerous tone.

Law came back to his senses after the sudden attack, but stress kicked in when he saw the elder's head directing from Luffy to Law himself.

Whatever what was coming...

Law wasn't prepared.

"And you!" he started, but Law had never the chance to hear him finish the sentence. He could only remember that his head was hit by something so unreasonable hard, that Law just knew that his new gotten bump was going to burn for hours. A warm woman's voice pulled him out of his unconsciousness, which was probably the green-head from earlier. It seemed that she was yelling at the old man.

"Mr. Garp! It isn't his fault! You know how difficult it is to wake up Luffy."

It was then that an angry voice started to yell between Garp and Makino.

"Hey! Don't hit up my boyfriend!" Everyone suddenly became quiet, but Law knew very well to whom this voice belonged...

Luffy hadn't just said...

A fierce burning aura appeared around Garp's body, the heat so warm that Law could feel it on his skin. He was in danger, that he knew, but had nothing to protect himself against it. He could only accept the second blow against his head. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Luffy lying next to him, also steam coming from his head.

Law could open his eyes again but not before he had decided what was more safe: keep playing dead or get up and face more consequences. His decision was made quickly but unfortunately he could feel Garp standing above of him, who was ready to lecture some more.

"Boyfriend? I'm not allowing you anyone!"

Luffy sat up straight, despite being in pain as much as Law was. "But grandpa! You can't decide that for me!" Luffy whined.

"No buts Luffy. You're at least one hundred years too young to have a lover!"

Out of nowhere, Law quickly sat up as well because of the surprise and accidentally questioned his thoughts out loud. "One hundred years?!" There was no way he was going to wait that long. Heck, he wasn't even alive by then.

Garp's gaze shifted from Luffy to Law again so he held up his arms high to prepare himself for another attack. However, instead of another punch, Law felt sniffing someone instead. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Luffy's grandpa. After smelling, he gritted his teeth and prepared his fist. "Luffy! Why do I smell you on him? Hmm?" he probed.

Luffy who was still active in this yell-and-hit-game, grabbed Law's arms to pull him away. "Traffy, look out!" he warned and was on time to keep the taller raven-haired safe.

Garp wanted to try one more attack, but was held back by Makino, who was clinging to his arm.

"Mr. Garp! Please calm down!"

"I will not calm down!" the elder pressed.

Luffy, who was as stubborn as the old man, didn't give up either. "Traffy didn't do anything!"

"He's taking my only grandson!" Garp countered again. There was no use to stop this angry man, unless there was something important involved...

Something like, Luffy.

"If I die..." Law started calmly. All the three immediately turned their heads. Luffy almost wanted to say something but Law stopped him by holding his hand in front of his mouth. "Luffy-ya can't learn how to drive without me, right? Garp-ya, is it really wise to kill me off now?" he questioned and waited for the right reaction. This man might have power but Law was good with his brains, even though it didn't always work on the Monkey family.

Garp backed down, a sign that Law was right. His fists were still balded but he couldn't do anything. "I suppose you're... right."

Law and Makino sighed in relief, while Luffy grinned widely. He was obviously proud that he had managed to win this round against his grandpa.

"Nice Traffy!" the teen complimented which made Law smirk once again.

-x-

After a lot of fighting, Law was finally invited to their living room to have a cup of coffee. He was led by Makino, but she had to leave again in order to continue her duty in the household.

Luffy was gone to take a shower, which left Law and Garp the only ones in the room. Of course it was dead quiet. It wasn't like Law really hated the man. He understood that it was scary when your grandson came home with an older man, especially one you can't trust yet. This was why Law had a simple, yet a difficult plan: Gain Monkey D. Garp's trust.

"Gar-" Law began but was quickly interrupted by the elder.

"Is being driver instructor your only job?" he asked while grabbing a paper and pen.

An interview. It might not be a bad idea as first step.

"I'm actually the boss of this driver's school."

Garp rubbed his chin. "Boss eh? That's quite some position... How much do you earn?"

"That's rather a private question."

"And house? You're still living with your mom aren't you?" he asked while pointing his finger childishly at the raven-haired.

Law widened his eyes from the suggestion. "I live in a decent house, alone. Also I'm fully capable of cooking, washing and cleaning if you're also curious about that."

"Oh? And girlfriends, how many? With that pretty face of yours I bet you have a few."

"Zero," Law answered annoyed. "I'm only interested in Luffy-ya."

How are these questions even made up?

Garp ticked with his pen, trying to come up with more questions but couldn't think of any. He growled from the loss. "Don't you have one failure!?"

"If there's one, it would be the fact that I cannot let Luffy-ya alone," Law answered with a smug smile on his face. Even though he had to impress the man, he couldn't resist such a comment.

Garp was readying his fist again. "I knew it..!"

"But I'm rather curious Mr. Garp..."

The elder calmed down and listened. "Hmm? What about?"

"Why do you have the need to protect the boy to this extent?"

Garp let out his breath and grabbed a drink. When he returned, he sank on the chair. "Why, huh..." he started all serious. "It's that boy's father's fault."

"Luffy-ya's father? Did something happen?"

The elder took a sip of his drink and continued in the same manner. "You see, it happened a few years before Luffy was born. Luffy's father- no I mean, my son. He suddenly left the house without a word or good bye. He just, disappeared. I kept telling him to become a marine, but he rejected the idea every time."

'He probably ran away because he didn't want to become a marine,' Law thought in himself.

"But... he disappeared?"

Garp nodded. "Yes... and then a few years later after that, he returned!"

"So... he's alive?"

"Yes, yes, but guess what he did? He left a damn kid behind and took off with this woman again! Can you believe it? My damn son disappeared without saying just because of some girl! Even thinking about it now makes me very angry!"

"Ah..."

So basically he ran away from home because his father kept pestering him. No wonder. However, there was still a thing that bothered Law. "I still got a question... Why did he leave Luffy-ya with you? I mean, as parent, it's his duty to take care of his child."

"Oh that? He's quite some wanted man because he fights for human rights in corrupted countries. I suppose he didn't want to endanger Luffy because of his dangerous life."

That did explain much. "Wanted? What's his name?"

Garp took the last sip of his drink and loudly placed the bottle on table. "Monkey D. Dragon."

Law gulped. That name was indeed very familiar and what the man did fight for was outrageous. He had never heard his full name however...

Now he knew why.

Was that guy really his father-in-law?

"Does Luffy even know that?"

"No, I'm the only one who knows. It's a secret."

Law probably would have laughed if he could. "And you're telling me. Are you trusting your grandson-in-law this much already?"

Garp stared and realized that he had just told something important to someone he disliked. "You won't tell a soul right?"

Law could feel another win coming. "Only if you will let me have Luffy-ya," he blackmailed.

The man sighed. "Don't be ridiculous!" he shouted and was about to throw a punch again. Law who was fairly used to his attacks now, had managed to dodge it which resulted in a broken table.

Garp grunted but quickly acted like this was a normal scene. "Well, whatever. I'll let you slip for now," he said and blew away the steam from his fist.

Law had not planned telling Luffy anyway, as this was something that Garp needed to tell himself. Something else bothered him however.

The next moment, Law felt a pair of wet arms wrapping around his neck. He felt a cheery energy coming from behind and he immediately knew who this person was.

"Traffy!", Lufffy called.

Law could smell the flower-smelling shampoo, whatever flower it was. "Luffy-ya, you haven't dried yourself yet. My clothes are getting wet."

"I did!" Luffy countered.

Law turned around to reveal a smiling teen standing close to him. He had a towel wrapped around his hair, but drops of water still fell down. Law sighed from the lack of skill and stood up to dry Luffy's hair instead. Garp started to cough to tell the couple that they weren't alone, but both persons didn't seem bothered.

"Hey, hey, are you staying the night?" a sudden question escaped the boy's mouth.

Law heard a breaking glass coming from Garp's direction who was obviously taken by the question.

"I still have work tomorrow," Law started and then turned his head towards the elder. "Plus I don't think your old man would appreciate it," he said, followed by a smirk.

Luffy made an annoyed sound as he looked at the older man as well. "Gramps, are you still hating on Traffy!?"

"Not hatin', just dislikin'."

Funny how he had told an important secret to someone he disliked...

However, if there's one thing Law had learned today was that the people from the Monkey family were childish, no matter what age.

"I should probably go now Luffy-ya. I'll pick you up next week all right?"

Luffy nodded in respond. "Yeah!"

"Of course I haven't forgotten you either. Thank you for the hospitality, grandpa-ya." With those last words, Law quickly fled from the mansion before his grandpa-in-law would strike.

Even if he wasn't allowed to have Luffy now, it was all right. No matter what trial Law had to go through, he will win every challenge until one day his beloved treasure was his.
