Scratching his head while writing, Sabo's hand was slapped by the other teen in the room
"I told you to stop it" said Law from the bed while reading his medical book, Sabo was writing on his book today, the one he didn't allow Law to read it since he wanted to show it to his brothers first
"I can't help it, those mosquitoes are biting me" the ship was passing through the 'dead sea', this sea was full of toxins and dead fishes, the air was dirty and full of a vary kinds of bugs, all the ship was filled with mosquitoes and flies, some of the crew fell sick from the pollution and Dragon ordered everyone to sit in their rooms whenever they didn't have to be on the dick, Sabo took the chance to write in his book and Law took it as a chance to study since they couldn't train today, their training has started a week ago, and Sabo began to teach the black haired teen how use swords
"Scratching will make it worse" said the older boy from the bed as he flipped through another page of his book
"Gahhhh!" Sabo's scream made Law look at him; the blond was busy killing the mosquitoes with his bare hands and Law blinked at him
"Don't use your hand, it is disgusting" he said to the boy and the blond stopped to stare at him
"so killing bugs is disgusting while poking at the inside of the dead things isn't" Law in his free time made Sabo catch animals or bugs for him to study their insides, once he asked the blond boy to bring him a human corpse and Sabo refused
"I do it with gloves"
"So If I wore gloves, It will be fine?" asked the blond and Law changed the subject, he didn't want to see the blond kill mosquitoes, something about the act didn't feel right with him
"I wonder why you didn't fall sick with all the diseases on the ship" Law had a fever the other day because of the air, but Sabo seemed Immune to all the diseases
"I used to live near a big garbage dumpster for five years" those words made Law blink at him
"Weren't you a noble?"
"I was but I ran away from home, and you were one too right?" asked Sabo to change the subject; he didn't want to remember his parents, or Goa kingdom and their awful doings
"yeah I was" answered Law, then both boys fell into an awkward silence, the knock on the door shattered the silence and both boys were grateful for it, opening the door Sabo saw Dragon standing there
"Leader what are you doing here?" asked the boy and pulled back to let the man enter, Law watched the man, and he had a great health, the teen wondered if he had an Immune system similar to Sabo's
'maybe they come from the same Island, that will explain why Sabo seems the only one to know about the mysterious man and why are they so close' thought Law as he watched the man sit next to him on his bed, the bed was now used by Law since Sabo slept on the chair
"Sabo I have an assignment for you" said the man eying the mystery book, Sabo walked and closed the cover when he noted the man watching his unfinished work, Law understood Dragon's feelings about the mystery book as he too wanted to look what the other wrote in it
"Ok what is it" said Sabo standing in front of his desk as if to guard it, his eyes were narrowed looking at the other two in the room, Dragon laughed then smirked looking at the child
"I want you to take a boat and go to the Island we stopped near, and bring some medicines" both boys realized that they stopped when the older man spoke, the ship was sailing really slowly, so they didn't notice the difference
"I want to go too, I know more about medicines than Sabo and I could repay some of the debt I own you" said the black haired teen and the man frowned at his words
"It is not a debt, I already consider you one of us even if you wanted to leave after you become stronger"
The man's words made the teen feel warm inside and he looked down to hide his blush, he felt happy to belong somewhere
"But I will let you go if Sabo agrees" continued the man, Sabo looked at Law in wonder than he got a nice idea
"I agree but on one condition" getting the other two's attention Sabo headed to his chest and took out something from there, Law and Dragon were looking at him and waiting for him to say his condition, smiling he went to Law and gave him the hat he finished creating last night, Law's eyes widened when he saw the hat, it was made from the same material of the coat they saw in that island, and he looked at Sabo shocked
"you made it?" the question made Dragon surprise, he never saw Sabo get interested into sewing or making clothes articles no matter how much Inazuma insisted on teaching him, looking at the blond who was grinning while rubbing the back of his head embarrassed, he smiled
'Guess Sabo had finally found an interest in someone huh? children grow fast' the thought brought dragon back to his own son and he longed to see him, in contrary to what everyone says Dragon really loves his son and he missed him a lot
"yeah be-" Sabo didn't get to finish what he wanted to say since Law jumped on him and hugged him, both boys fell on the books stack and Sabo felt the books dig into his back, but he was too happy to care about that, Law for the first time was showing affection in front of someone else other than him and the blond was grateful
'Guess Dragon's words really affected him' hugging the boy back Sabo looked at Dragon who smiled at the sight in front of him
jumping into the boat the two boys began to raw it, Law was happy that he now had a hat and Sabo was happy that the other was happy, reaching the shore both boys pulled the boat into the sandy beach and hid it between the trees while covering it with big palm leaves, looking happily at their work both boys smiled and pulled on their hoodies, this Island was called sick Island since it was located in the dead sea, the people here were not welcoming of any strangers so they were better to wear what most of the people wore here that is capes, people here wore capes to protect themselves from the polluted air and many bugs that carried sickness within them
Looking at the list in his hands Sabo sighed, he couldn't figure out most of the things written there so he handed the list to Law who looked smugly at him
"told you to give it to me from the start" he said and the blond huffed, he hated it when the other showed superiority on him, he was reminded of Ace but with his brother it was something else since he knew Ace respected him, but with Law he felt that the other was mocking him, he missed Luffy the most at those times
"Here is the shop" said Law and Sabo stopped "what were you thinking of?" asked Law who looked at him questionably
"I was thinking about my brothers" said Sabo, Law's face turned into a thoughtful look, and Sabo felt himself getting nervous
"So you miss them? And how many are they?" asked Law who was looking at him waiting for an answer
"If I answer, you will have to answer too" Law nodded and Sabo began to talk
"Two, Ace and Luffy, now your turn, where is your family and from where were you?"
"Dead and I am from North Blue" Law's answers made Sabo feel bad that he made him remember something bad as that
"Sorry"
"don't be, I didn't like them" looking at the boy in shock, Law turned and headed to the booth they were standing at, following the boy Sabo remembered his own family and wondered how much he and Law were similar
Walking in the same road they took, Law and Sabo were both thinking in silence, when they reached the boat's place they found out that their boat had disappeared
"Who took it?" asked Sabo to the air and Law looked at him with a blank expression
"You don't expect me to answer that do you? I was with you" Sabo looked at the older annoyed, and he smirked at him
"Ok genius what should we do now? How do we get it back, when we don't even know who took it?" Sabo asked and Law's smirk widened to his annoyance
"We don't have to find out who took it since we won't need it" he said smirking
"Then how do we go back?" asked Sabo now genially puzzled and Law laughed at the other's honesty, to him Sabo was really cute especially when he tried to act older
"We steal another one" he said simply and watched the boy realize what he said then a big grin came to the bond's face
"Leave it to me I know how to steal" he said proudly and Law held his laugh
"You? Steal? How did a Nobel brat learn how to steal?" he asked jokingly and watched the boy's grin fall from his face, Law regretted his words and was about to say something but Sabo spoke first
"I learned from good people" the smile on the boy's face was sad and Law wished he could wipe it out, touching the hat on his head he took it off and replace both their hats with one another, Sabo gave him a puzzled look and he shrugged his shoulders
"Just felt like it" he said simply and both boys returned back to the way they came from
Looking through the village they found a man who had two boats, Law wanted to take the good looking one but Sabo insisted to take the worn out one
"We might fall into the sea, idiot" said Law
"We can't steal what could be his only way to get a living"
"We are stealing, it is the same thing" reasoned Law
"Even though, we shouldn't burden the man" argued back Sabo
"Gaah! You are too nice for your own good"
"I will take that as a complement!"
"It wasn't!" both boys held the other's mouth when they screamed, looking to their right, then to their left they left each other's mouth and sighed
"Fine we will take the old one, but if we fell into the sea, you will carry me on your back" said Law angrily
"You can't swim?" asked Sabo
"I came from north blue, the water there is frozen, who in their right mind would swim in that sea"
'Luffy and Ace' thought Sabo
the boys then stole the old boat and took it to the sea, pushing the boat into the water they both got in, but before they reached the ship the boat broke down and both boys fell into the water, in the end they were picked up by the ship and Law didn't talk to Sabo for the rest of the day
'Have to teach him how to swim when we reach good water' said Sabo who had a slight fever from the polluted water, Dragon didn't like the news about the boat, it made him suspect something
