Okay. It looks like the first chapter got some good feedback. At least, that's what the numbers say. Glad you guys are enjoying it so far. Now go on ahead and read. I won't delay you any longer.

Except for this. Disclaimer: Do not own One Piece.

Here the Chapter Starts

Standing watch over the mess hall was a lot like standing over the block. Catwalks crisscrossed above the eating inmates, at least a dozen guards on the floor armed with batons and tazers. Anyone above was carrying tranquilizer guns, each weapon held like it was about to be used in the next second.

Coby scanned over the inmates, trying to ignore the intoxicating scent of the meal spread out across the various tables. He didn't think prisons fed such amazing food to the inmates.

"Vinsmoke takes over the kitchens around mealtime when he realized just how low a quality everyone was eating," Kaku explained calmly, never taking his eyes from the crowd below. "He's apparently faced trauma of starvation as a child and refuses to allow anyone else to go through it. It's a good thing he is in the kitchens, though. He's the only one that can keep up with Strawhat and Jewelry Bonney over there."

He waved his hand to a woman with long hot pink hair, her teeth tearing into any bit of food she could get her hands on. Coby was amazed that she was eating so much yet looked like she was a model. Around her were other unusual criminals, one with a x-shaped scar on his chin. He actually looked somewhat familiar to Coby, but he couldn't place him.

He also noticed Monkey D Luffy sitting in the center of his gang, chowing down with vigor while trying to swipe food from their plates. The act was probably why they are surrounding him, so used to his food stealing that they unconsciously guarded their meals from his wandering hands. Everyone else would have had their food stolen by now, or Strawhat would be in a fight because he stole food from the wrong person.

Nearby the gang was Eustass Kidd, stitches up and down the long slices Trafalgar left on him earlier. With luck, the scarring will be minimal. Next to him was his blonde companion, the two conversing silently. Penguin was sitting next to Killer as well, practically in the other man's lap while still staying a part of Trafalgar's little group.

The door off to the side opened, revealing three figures entering the room. Two were guards, the person in the middle an obvious prisoner. One side of his face had a terrible burn scar that his blonde hair attempted to cover up as it fell over his face. However, he was smiling as he offered his wrists to be freed of cuffs. He even thanked the guards with him once the cuffs were off, then made his way over to Strawhat and his gang.

When Luffy noticed him, he gave out a cry of happiness, jumping out of his seat and latching onto the newcomer like a leech. The older man simply laughed gently, patting his head and gently pried him off so that they could both sit down and eat.

"Outlook Sabo," Kaku identified. "I know Lucci said something about him and Portgas D Ace to you."

"He said they were in Solitary Confinement," Coby replied.

"They were, now it's just Ace in there," the other acknowledged with a nod and a shrug. "Apparently, one of the guards riled him up enough to get a beat down from him. One thing that you have to know about them is that Monkey D Luffy is their little brother. They are also fiercely protective of him. Sabo is the calmest and most polite out of the three, but he can also be the most dangerous."

"Guard Captain mentioned that he and Portgas are arsonist and one set people on fire," he repeated, curious for facts.

"That would be Portgas," Kaku chuckled lightly. "He's also a member of the Whitebeard Family, so we expect that old man and the rest of the family to come breaking down walls for him. Sabo is as much of an arsonist, but he mainly limits himself to buildings instead of people. It would be a lesser stay for him if he wasn't setting government buildings on fire."

"So when Enies Lobby burned, would that have been one of them?"

"Ha! No, that one was Strawhat's."

"The Sabaody Courthouse?"

"Strawhat."

"What about Marineford University?"

"All three. They mainly destroyed it because they didn't want to be there. We blame Garp since he was the one to throw them in."

Coby blinked in surprise. Such famous locations, important to their very government, destroyed. The news of each one circulated through social media for months, overlapping each other as each happened. The destruction wasn't anything to scoff at either. Each place was rubble in the end, hardly a sign to what it once was or looked like.

"Remember, these people are nothing to underestimate," Kaku reminded him firmly. "Oh for the love of- Strawhat! Stop stealing food from the others!"

"But I'm hungry!" Monkey D Luffy yelled back.

The blonde by him guarded his plate as well as the others. Perhaps he knows the antics as well as the gang since the two are supposed to be brothers. Another inmate, muscular with a tuff of blonde hair that made his head look similar to a pineapple, approached Sabo and asked him something lowly. Sabo shook his head, earning a scowl from the older inmate, who then turned on his heel and returned to his seat.

"That one had to be asking about Portgas," one of the other guards, Jyabura if he was recalling correctly, commented.

"Must have been," Kaku agreed with a nod.

"Who is he?" Coby inquired.

"Another reason why we keep expecting Whitebeard to show up," Jyabura answered this time. "Newgate Marco, the first of Whitebeard's 'sons'. He's at a higher rank than Portgas. In fact, the police caught him not long after Portgas when he tried breaking the little fire-spitter out before his arrival here."

"He's in a different cell block," Kaku reassured the pink-haired guard. "Ace was going to be there, too, if he wasn't constantly trying to get to his youngest brother. It took a lot to convince Akainu to allow for Portgas to transfer over to our block. I'm gonna be honest with you, kid. You're lucky to have Lucci as your commanding officer. Akainu is a real piece of work."

"Makes Hannyabal and Magellan look like wet kittens compared to him," the scarred man muttered under his breath. "I can't stand Lucci, but I'd rather have him than Akainu."

Coby hummed lowly, scanning over the floor once again. "So what happens after dinner?" he asked. "Everyone returns to their cells for the night?"

"Most places would, but some of our inmates actually get more energetic after they eat," Kaku explained. "Strawhat being one of them. He'll also be trying to spend some more time with his brother now that he's back. It won't be a quiet night, I can say that much."

"Well, that's night shift's problem, not ours," Jyabura pointed out with a scoff. "Kumadori may put on a play that will make them want to sleep just to shut him up."

"Aren't we supposed to have someone new on night shift as well?" Kaku inquired curiously.

"You mean that Nero guy?" the older guard returned, scowling. "According to Lucci, the guy is basically worthless. We'll see what the others say about him when we come in for our shift in the morning."

Here is a line!

He knows that they are brothers, or at least call each other brother. They look nothing alike. But it was still an odd sight to see Strawhat Luffy sitting in the new blonde man's lap. The other was just letting him do it, too. Coby is not sure if it was a comfort thing or just a Strawhat thing. Since he arrived that day, he has noticed that Strawhat is a hands-on type of person.

When he wants to get someone's attention, he generally grabs an arm or a piece of clothing while calling out the name of the individual. He also likes hugging his companions a lot. He did try hugging Trafalgar, calling him 'Torao' instead, but Outlook Sabo picked him up and returned to the rest of the gang. It was evident that the older brother did not want Strawhat anywhere near Trafalgar.

To Coby's surprise, despite the incident earlier, Eustass was not giving Trafalgar a wider berth. If anything, all seemed somewhat normal. Killer wasn't falling for Penguin's coaxing, choosing to stay with the redhead, which visibly upset the younger hatted man.

"Shift change is soon," Kaku announced, startling Coby from his observations. "They'll mingle around for another hour then be locked up for the night."

"You know, I'm actually surprised about this place," Coby admitted. "During my years in the Academy, we were taught that prisons run a lot stricter than this. Inmates had to stay in lines when they're out of their cells unless they're in the yard. No smoking allowed. Personal possessions limited."

"You mean the opposite of what you've seen here," Kaku chuckled softly. "The thing is that these guys, at first, were getting too hard for us to handle. Even Lucci was having difficulty keeping them all in check. This started off as an experiment to see if having a little freedom would calm them down. It was a slow process, but we eventually reached this point. They are calmer, we just have to make sure the fights don't get too out of hand."

"You mean like earlier when Trafalgar had that shank," the pink-haired guard noted.

"Exactly. We'll let them beat the crap out of each other, it's almost therapeutic to them, but if the crowd gets too big or a weapon is pulled, then we jump in. Like I told you before, you came in on a good day."

"What are the nights like here?" he asked curiously.

Kaku shrugged uncaringly. "Generally two to a cell, sometimes three if the situation calls for it. Trafalgar shares his cell with his two guys. Eustass with Killer. Strawhat stays with his brothers, they kind of dog-pile in the middle of the cell. The women have their own cell and the guys get paired off however they want. Most of the time, it's quiet. Fukuro's incident a couple months ago was the latest night ruckus."

"Fukuro?" Coby repeated.

"Chapapapa! He means me!" someone declared from behind, causing the newbie to jump in surprise before he spun around. He blinked upon seeing the rotund man with a zipper for a mouth. "Shift change, Kaku."

"Alright," the other accepted with a relieving sigh, pulling off his hat to rub at his orange hair. "Keep an eye on Trafalgar. He pulled a knife on Eustass earlier today. Portgas is still in Solitary for a couple more days, but Outlook Sabo is back."

"They was in Solitary for four days, now they're keeping Portgas another two?" another man, pale with long pinkish-white hair exclaimed in surprise. "The poor man. I shall recite a prayer for his extended stay! Yayoi!"

"Please don't," Fukuro groaned.

Kaku laughed gently then turned to Coby. "Night shift is generally pretty easy, so there aren't as many guards," he explained. "This is Fukuro and Kumadori. Blueno is out sick, so you may not meet him for a while. You two, this is Coby, new day guard. I hear you two have a new night guard."

"Lucci has him right now," Fukuro snickered.

"Poor guy."

Coby couldn't find it in himself to say anything, too surprised by the zipper mouth. He heard about the incident, but he assumed that it was already taken care of completely. But the man still has a zipper, and it looked like it was embedded into his skin.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer," Fukuro said, noticing Coby's stare.

"Ah! Sorry!" he replied, snapping his gaze from the other.

"I know what you're thinking," Kaku stated. "The thing is that that zipper is now his mouth. Trafalgar removed the lips and sew in the zipper before Kumadori finally noticed something was wrong. It was quiet."

"He talks a lot," Kumadori pointed out, patting Fukuro on the head.

"We tried to have it removed, but no one could without causing severe nerve damage to his face," Kaku continued. "The only one who can remove it is also the one who put it on him."

"That's terrible!" Coby exclaimed.

"I'm one of the lucky ones," Fukuro reassured. "I still have my heart. Chapapapa!"

"We will handle things from here," Kumadori promised with a bow. "Enjoy your evening and get plenty of sleep."

"Sure thing, have a good night," Kaku returned as he started walking away. "Come on, Coby."

"Okay," Coby said with a nod then turned to the two men. "It was a pleasure meeting you."

"We'll see you in the morning," Fukuro responded, patting the young guard on the shoulder then nudging him to follow after Kaku.

Once he was by the other guard, Kaku spoke. "I talked with Lucci earlier. He thinks that you should take home some files about the inmates to study. We all have added in our own notes. The sooner you learn about them, the better. Otherwise, you're fresh meat to them. Easy prey. We don't want anything to happen to such a promising addition."

"Understood," the younger accepted. "Where would I find the files?"

"Lucci probably already put them in your locker by now," he chuckled. "When he gets an idea, he follows through with it. This just means he actually thinks you can handle the job. Make sure to study the files as much as possible tonight. But don't deny yourself sleep."

Here is a line!

The sun was already below the horizon by the time he got home, a thin line of blended color all that was left from the sunset. Even though it was his first day and he mostly just kept watch from above, Coby felt exhausted.

"I'm home," he called out to his roommate.

"Welcome back," the other returned, looking at him from the edge of the couch. "You look wiped out."

"Guess it was more draining than I thought," he chuckled weakly, making his way into the kitchen to throw something together for a quick supper.

"I got your usual order take-out from that one restaurant that actually memorized our orders," his roommate informed, looking back to the news on the TV. "It's in the fridge."

"Thank god! Helmeppo, you're a lifesaver! I'm starving!"

"First day is always the worst, in my opinion," Helmeppo muttered under his breath as Coby dug into the fridge for his meal. "How was it, anyway?"

"Fine, I guess," Coby sighed as he put the cold food into the microwave. "Believe it or not, but I was put in the block where their worst are held. You wouldn't believe just how much they let them get away with."

"I just catch the criminal," the blonde reminded, turning the television off. "So, if you were put into the worst block, what all do you have?"

"Give me a minute," he replied as the microwave signaled it completion. Grabbing the stack of files and small box of tapes, with a player, he went to the living room and sat on the couch by his roommate once the blonde had moved his legs. He laid the files out across the table, each one with a small picture and name on the front. He placed the player next to the stack, a tape already set up inside it. "I was listening to some of these on the way home," he stated as he rewound the tape. "You should hear some of the things I get to deal with." Stopping it, he pressed play next.

"This is Doctor Hiriluk with Trafalgar D Water Law, also known as the 'Surgeon of Death'. Session One," an older man's voice played out through the speakers. Helmeppo's jaw dropped in surprise as he turned wide eyes to Coby. Before he could say anything, the other shushed him and indicated for him to listen. "How are you doing today, Law?"

"Well enough, I suppose," Trafalgar's voice drifted through next. "I was just admitted to Impel Down a month ago and I am now seeing a psychiatrist. I shouldn't be surprised by this turn of events, but I do find it unusual. What is the point of all this? To find out what makes us tick?"

"To hopefully help you get away from your aggressive behavior and get you back into the world without threatening hundreds or thousands of innocents."

"Face it. Even if you succeeded, the world won't accept us. Every time a mysterious dead body pops up, we will be the first to be implicated, even if we're five cities away."

"We can only hope. Now, are you comfortable here? I understand that two of your friends are in this prison as well."

"Penguin and Shachi are both with me, yes. They even share my cell since anyone that gets too close to them tends to get hurt if I'm not there. As for my comfort, I suppose I could use a thicker mattress with springs that don't dig into my back and 600-thread count cotton sheets. But, beggars can't be choosers and all that."

"I see." There was a sound of rustling paper before Hiriluk spoke again. "I understand that you're classified as a genius, graduating from all your schools far earlier than many anticipated. You were top of your class in Grand Line University, a straight A student with many degrees and doctorates to your name. You've worked in various hospitals and saved so many lives. Yet you've also killed almost as many as you've saved. Why is that? What made you kill?"

A scoff of amusement. "Do you know what it means to be a doctor, truly? Here you are, psychoanalyzing me to find out just where it all went wrong. You don't even understand what kind of power you have at your fingertips. My power was the ability to choose who lives and who dies. I worked on so many hearts, my hands have been inside the chests of more people than you can imagine. I chose who lived. I chose who died. Just like you can choose who stays here and who leaves. Who will keep their mind intact and who you can shatter."

"That is not the work of a doctor." The psychiatrist sounded like he was offended by the very idea of Trafalgar's description.

"It is. Others just haven't realized it yet."

"So he's a nutjob," Helmeppo commented as Coby stopped the tape and removed it from the player, grabbing another and replacing the first. "I can't believe it. The Surgeon of Death is in the block you're guarding? That's insane! You should ask for a transfer!"

"I'll be fine, it's not like I'm on the floor with them," Coby reassured. "But listen to this. See, Trafalgar has this stuffed bear he calls Bepo, and I couldn't figure out why he's so attached to it. Listening to this session, I learned two things."

He pressed the play button, Hiriluk's voice filling the air once more. "This is Doctor Hiriluk with Trafalgar D Water Law. Session Four. How are you today?"

"I'm fine."

"I'm glad to hear it. I saw you had a visitor yesterday, a tall man with blonde hair and sunglasses."

"He's my uncle."

"And he gave you that bear?"

"Bepo."

"Bepo. I understand that you gave security a difficult time when they tried examining Bepo for smuggled items."

"Uncle Doffy gave him to me to keep me company. Bepo was a gift from my adopted father. Our first Christmas, he kept tripping over himself so that he could give me Bepo first."

"Law, would you tell me about your father? According to your file, you don't have any living relations left."

"I might as well not. My family was killed. Both my parents were doctors, and the killers were angry because they weren't able to save their loved ones. I had a little sister, too. Lami. I hid her under a bed while I went to look for our parents. They were dead when I found them and Lami was dead when I got back."

"Is that where you started having these urges? Was this trauma the reason why you wanted to hurt others? Revenge?"

"No. I wanted to die myself. I lost my family. The officer that found me took me to the station and got my statement from me. Call after call, all my relatives refused to take me in. Too far. Can't afford another mouth to feed. Too troublesome. Too creepy." A soft chuckle. "He told me that he didn't feel right leaving a child in a cell like I was being punished for surviving, and he didn't want to leave me in an orphanage. He and his brother were raised in an orphanage until Doffy got enough money to get them out. He said it was terrible. So he took me home, brought me back the next morning. Every day, every night, for a week. No one would take me in. So he did."

"Your adoptive father."

"Yes. His name was Donquixote Rocinante. Everyone called him Corazon because of his tacky heart-theme clothing. I called him Cora-san. He was a police officer, the clumsiest yet most kind-hearted person you would ever be lucky to meet. Cora-san and Uncle Doffy were as close as you would expect brothers to be after everything they went through. Even when they disagree, Cora-san would go to him if he was stuck in a rut and Uncle Doffy would protect him from the world."

"He sounds like a good man. I see in your file that he is not listed as a contact number in any way."

"Because he's dead. He died when I graduated from medical school. I was so proud, I was going to be a doctor like my parents. I was going to save lives." A strange sound snapped out, like a choked sob. "I couldn't even save him!" A whimper and another choked back sob.

"…Law, would you tell me what happened?"

"Go to hell!" The sudden shout caused both Coby and Helmeppo to jump back. "Stop making me remember! Stop it! Just fucking stop it! Cora-san!"

The tape was quickly stopped, the lid popped open but untouched.

"Whoa," Helmeppo said first, looking to the younger with wide eyes. "Kind of makes you wonder."

"Yeah. Hey, would there be anything at the station about him?" Coby inquired curiously, looking over to his police officer roommate.

"I'm not going to go digging up a dead man's belonging or past just to satisfy your curiosity," the blonde denied, holding his hands up. "You know what they say about the cat. I still think you should transfer."

"Wait until you hear about this guy," the pink-haired male said, putting a new tape in.

"This is Doctor Kureha with Eustass Kidd, known as 'Captain' among his group of ruffians. Session One."

"Why do I have an old hag for a therapist?"

"Behave yourself. I'm much younger than I look. It's dealing with brats like you that causes the early aging."

"Nah. You're a hag. Why can't doctors be young and hot? Seriously, you just ruined any fantasy I ever had of fucking my doctor."

"Aw, imagine my poor heart just splitting in half."

"Ha! I'd like to split your skull in half!" A sound not unlike chains being yanked, though were unable to give. Probably grounded into concrete.

"Alright, let's get on with this. File says a lot about you and your methods. Where did you even come from that you learned how to beat a man with a toothbrush?"

"I sharpened it, so it wasn't beating. It was stabbing."

"Sure. Let's rewind a bit. Records say you were a street kid. No family that you know of?"

"Nah. Born and raised homeless. Never knew my dad. Ma died when I was three, that was a cold winter, and Killer found me a few days later. He's been taking care of me since."

"So what happened when you first attacked someone?"

"Mainly defense. Growing up on the street, all you know is how to steal and how to fight. Soon enough, both just become routine. Things get heated and people tend to die. Just the way shit happens."

"You murdered seven people, beat several more, and even sexually assaulting some of them. You don't feel any remorse for it?"

"The fuck is remorse? It was live or die. I lived. They died. Welcome to the world!" A barking laugh, one that sent shivers up their spines. "It's a dog eat dog world, and I'm the fucking alpha."

Coby stopped the tape, taking it out of the player calmly. "Eustass Kidd. He's pretty bad."

"Heard about him," Helmeppo said with a nod. "If I remember correctly, when he was finally caught, he was covered in blood and laughing. He even took down quite a few of the officers. They had to call backup for the arrest, especially when his friend started fighting, too."

"I can believe it," the pink-haired guard stated, sighing gently. "But listen to this guy. It's almost like he doesn't really know he's in a prison."

"Another crazy one?"

"Just listen." He pressed the play button, off-key humming soon filling the room.

"This is Doctor Hiriluk with Monkey D Luffy, also known as Strawhat Luffy. Session One. So, Luffy, tell me how you are today."

"I'm great! This place is a little boring, and the people are kind of mean. But I'm still great! When can I see my friends?"

"I'm sorry, Luffy, but that may not be possible."

"What? Boo! Why not?"

"You are aware that you're in a prison, right? In a prison, we can't just let you go hang out with your friends at the drop of a hat."

"Man, that's stupid. I'm kind of hungry now. Can't I see Sanji so he can feed me?"

"That just cannot happen right now, Luffy. Please pay attention." There was a small chuckle followed by ruffled paper. "So you're Vice-Admiral Garp's grandson. That actually explains quite a bit about you."

"What?!" Helmeppo exclaimed. "Garp's grandson?!" Coby quickly shushed him.

"Yeah, but Gramps just kept trying to turn my brothers and I into military fighters or police officers. Those jobs are boring and there are too many rules. We just want our freedom!"

"Who do you mean by 'we'?"

"Me and my big brothers, of course! Their names are Sabo and Ace."

"Alright then. What about the places you destroyed?"

"Huh? Like what?"

"Enies Lobby, for starters."

Helmeppo's jaw dropped in shock.

"Oh, that. Well, they tried taking Robin away and I wasn't going to let them. So I broke in, freed her, and some people got beat up and the building kind of fell down." A strange sound came out next, like something was being pulled gently.

"Was Garp the one to give you that hat? I've noticed no one has been able to take it from you without getting a few broken bones."

"Nah, Shanks gave me this. It used to be his, but he gave it to me when I made a promise. It's really important to me and I'm not going to risk it getting damaged before I can return it to him."

"Just who is Shanks?"

"He's awesome! He saved my life when I was just a kid. But he lost his arm because the car wreck tore it up pretty bad. The doctors couldn't fix it, so they amputated it."

"I see. Let's talk about something else. How about your friends?"

"They're the best! Zoro was my first ever friend and he gets so protective. But he's kind of stupid and gets lost real easy. Shishishishi, he says the building move to confuse him. Then there's Nami, she stole money from us, but that was because she was in trouble. She's really scary and I feel sorry for whoever marries her. Sanji is crazy because he wants to marry Nami, but he's an amazing cook. You guys should have him make the meals here, it'll make everyone happier. Usopp is great, he can see things from miles away, and his stories are awesome."

"And the others?"

"Chopper is our doctor. But he's really shy and hides behind things the wrong way. He's a lot of fun. Then there's Robin. She's really smart, and she kind of acts like a mom to us. She has weird humor, though. Franky joined us after her. He can make anything out of everything in just a few minutes. He made our base from scratch, and it's amazing! We call it the Thousand Sunny. We used to have another place, but Going Merry got burned down. That really upset Usopp since it was a place his friend gave to us. Brook was the last one to join us. He's our musician, and he's really good. He knows all the songs!"

"They sound like a lot of fun. I can't wait to meet them myself."

Coby stopped the tape then leaned back into the seat and glanced to his police officer roommate. "See what I mean?" he asked. "He may as well be in a playground."

"Why is someone like that in Impel Down?" Helmeppo inquired curiously.

"Destruction of private, public, and Government property, and he's a gang leader that everyone is scared enough of that they threw him and his friends into the same block as Eustass Kidd and the Surgeon of Death," he answered calmly.

"Sounds like you have your hands full." The blonde sighed dejectedly, running a hand through his hair. "Promise me something?"

"What?" Coby returned, blinking almost owlishly.

"Be careful around these guys."

Here is a line!

"Psst! Torao! Psst! Hey, Torao! Are you awake?"

"Go to sleep, Strawhat-ya," Law groaned in annoyance.

"Shishishi! I can't!" Luffy snickered. "Hey, what do you think of these new guys?"

"The one from earlier seems okay," he reluctantly answered. The only reason he was even replying was because Strawhat Luffy has this habit to continue talking and repeating questions until he receives a response. "I don't much care for this new night guard."

"I give him three nights," Kidd threw in uncaringly.

"Two if someone didn't make a mess on Bepo and cause me to reveal my blade," Law growled at the redhead two cells away from him.

"Seriously? You're still pissed about that."

"Go to hell, Eustass-ya. Bepo is much more special than you realize. And you smeared semen all over his face."

"Dude, you have the thing watch us having sex. Okay? I can fuck all day long, but I seriously feel like I'm being judged when that damn bear is watching."

"He is judging."

Luffy snickered as he pushed himself from the bars then dropped onto the bed holding his still-awake blonde brother. "You didn't get to meet Coby today, Sabo," he informed. "I like him. He seems like a really good guy."

"You've always had a good judgement of people, so I'll just have to take your word for it," Sabo chuckled lightly, running a hand through Luffy's thick black hair. "Now, lay down and get some sleep. We may have some visitors tomorrow. At the least, we'll have one."

Luffy shivered then slipped under the blanket as fast as he could. "I don't wanna see Gramps tomorrow…"

Banging rang through the area, causing some of them to flinch from the sounds. "Shut up in there!"

"I really wish I still had my knife…" Law muttered, curling around Bepo.

Here the Chapter Ends

So, everyone enjoying it so far? I kind of am. This is a whole new turn for me because I try to make my stories in the same universe, just with some things being different. Like a backstory or different lives, but generally the same 'verse. When I divert, I tend to screw up a lot.

If I may say, I think that it isn't that bad. I'm slowly stepping out of comfort zones and trying new things and they're not turning out that bad. Leave me a review and let me know what you think!

Also, I have been asked if Coby will be paired with anyone. I kind of want to, but even as the main character, he may not be paired with someone. The yaoi that I said would show up is mainly with the prisoners. If I was going to pair anyone up with Coby, it probably would be Helmeppo. Seriously, those two are so close in the anime that any fangirl can imagine it being there.

But we shall see how this goes. He may stay single. He may end up with a prisoner. He may end up with his roommate. Maybe even a co-worker. But Coby is considered the main character with some side-glances to the others.
