Trafalgar Law was sitting comfortably on the couch in the Apartment he shared with the… most likely, insufferable creatures he had ever met. He's currently staring at the door with a cup of hot coffee and snacks on the coffee table, an opened medical book on his lap. He was reading the said book a moment ago… before the old man knocked on the front door.

"So, the damn crazy geezer knows what a door was and how to knock." Law thought in amusement.

He just called Ace – because Sabo's was unattended – to inform that their bat shit insane grandfather was here. Although, he didn't say that their grandfather was outside their apartment.

A minute passed and Law was still staring at the door, waiting for the old man at the opposite door to tear it down because that's what the old geezer was good at like the last time.

"Just because he thought that breaking walls and doors was cool for an entrance…" Law stopped his track of thoughts when he remembered 'Garp, the fist's cool entrance', "He's really cool that time though, especially when he entered the apartment with stone dusts and reflecting shadow." Said the voice at the back of his mind.

Law's eyes widened in shock before he shook his head, "…that! Doesn't mean that I can forgive him for what happened and just let that go!"

Well… last time was an almost traumatic event for Law. Garp broke his most treasured and precious advanced spirometry. Law personally acquired it and it costed him a lot of money. He desperately needed the medical equipment for his Examination Class that week, but Garp had to gone berserk, destroying the walls and doors, and the spirometry machine slipped off the hands of a shocked Trafalgar Law.

Unfortunately, the equipment still mocked him in his dreams. He often dreamed about his spirometry's pleas and regrets for not getting a single use once bought by Law.

He stared at the door for another minutes before he sighed and looked at the medical book, resuming his reading… only to be bothered again by a loud knocking followed by a soft knocking. And that knocking pattern annoyed Law.

"What the fuck is Garp-ya doing?!" Law cursed, closing his eyes for a moment and thought to himself, full of regret- why the heck did he of all people, chose to stay with housemates like Ace and Sabo, who has an insane grandfather?!

Law mentally promised himself that he will kill Ace and Sabo in a hundred of ways once they got home, and after he did that, he will go to Baratie and then, he will order himself a nice cup of roasted black coffee. That sounds nice, indeed. He will gladly enjoy it!

Ace couldn't take it anymore! He needed to stop for a while. He badly needed a second to catch his breath. He's almost on his knees, panting and sweating hard while gripping the doorknob of the seventh floor's emergency staircase in the Apartment Building. He ran as fast as he could from the parking lot in basement to a high staircase in the seventh floor, so… yeah, Ace fucking needed oxygen and he's pretty unlucky today.

The elevator is under maintenance at the moment, and when I say that he's unlucky,

I mean it.

Let's start Portgas D. Ace's unfortunate fate earlier when he's about to drag Sabo home with him. An unexpectedly Koala came out of nowhere with her usual sunny and wide smile, which was so similar with her big round eyes. As much as she looks innocent, cute and polite with her smile, that smile also demands You-Cannot-Say-No-To-My-Damn-Requests for Ace. He finds it very disturbing that Sabo actually love those kind of smiles from Koala.

Now, an approaching Koala also means "No Partners-in-Crime Sabo to deal with gramps". Ace actually experienced these kind of things back then, and it happens a lot when Sabo and Koala were starting off as friends, as both assumed– If Hawkins is with Ace right now, he will unlikely tell Ace that his face was already sealed and the probability of having Sabo to deal with their grandfather is: zero percent.

"Longbo!" Koala excited called Sabo.

Ace had forgot about his dilemma and snickered at his brother's pet name. Sabo could only glare at Ace, who happened to mockingly raise an eyebrow at him.

"Ace-san, you're here too?" A somewhat confused Koala asked as she glanced to Sabo, "You didn't tell me that we're having a double date?"

Now, the D brothers are as much as confused like Koala.

"We are?" / "What?"

This brought a lot of confusion, so we'll skipped it because Ace doesn't have a date from the start and Koala just misunderstood the situation of his boyfriend with his brother, thinking that there will be a double date (a secret dream of Koala since High School due to her lack of romantic partner).

"I truly appreciate your efforts and I will be forever grateful, Ace-san…" Koala politely said with a smile, which confused Ace a lot, "…but Sabo and I needs our quality time together."

And with those polite words from Sabo's girlfriend, Ace doesn't have any choice, but to comply. He's surrounded by witches, who greatly charms the men around them and Sabo's girlfriend – the other witches will be mentioned in the near future – is one of them.

Now, back to where Ace stood– almost on his knees while gripping the handle of the doorknob. He rose quickly when he remembered that Law was going to kill him if he didn't show up… well, Law was probably planning to kill him now, so he didn't have to worry if he showed up or not. And just as Ace was nearly reaching their Apartment 2103, there he saw his grandfather, holding a child on the back of his shirt like an innocent kitten. The two of them are knocking on the door with a weird pattern: soft knocks from the child and loud knocks from his grandfather.

Ace frowned for a while as he stared at his grandfather and the child with him. He asked himself why his grandfather was waiting outside the apartment and not inside and then, the answer punched Ace on his face… hard. He bet that Law was pissed off (right now) and the man is going to kill him for this, and that man will likely enjoy torturing him before killing him for his own sadistic satisfaction.

He shivered at the thought– an effect of watching psycho and gruesome movies with Law, and unfortunately, Law always loves to comment that: "It's the best torture scene he'd ever seen", "He needed to try that out and will happily accept volunteers (where he's waiting for either him or Sabo to volunteer) and more dark, creepy comments coming out from the aspiring Doctor/Surgeon… whatever-heck-he-was-aspiring-to-be-come's mouth.

Garp noticed his other grandson, standing not too far from him and immediately waved his free hand.

"Oh! Ace" Garp happily yelled, still waving his free hand to his eldest grandson; his other hand was clutching the back of his seven years old grandson's sleeveless shirt.

With his name being called loudly in the corridor, a certain someone's ears twitched from somewhere inside the Apartment of 2103.

"You're here! I've been knocking on that freaking door for ages!" Garp exclaimed with a little bit exaggeration here and there.

Ace grimaced at his loud grandfather and then, he glanced at the child, who's literally getting man-handled by his grandfather before he looked back to his grandfather again (with the kid still in Ace's range of sight).

"What are you doing here, Gramps?" Ace asked as he opened the lock on the door with his own keys, "It's not the third week of the month yet.

Ace glanced at the kid again, who beamed at him before he opened the door, "And who's that chibi with 'ya?"

"Ah! This is your brother, Luffy!" Garp bluntly said as if he's telling his eldest grandson the most obvious thing in the world.

It made Ace froze the moment he stepped inside the Apartment. You should know that there were two things that caused such reactions from Ace:

When he saw Law on the couch, enjoying a cup of coffee and plate of snack while reading his magic-medic-whatever book,

At the same time, the news that the chibi– Luffy is actually his little brother.

Ace didn't know how to react for a second, and he only managed to gape and stand there like an idiot before he uttered his two big words after recovering from his shock,

"What? How?"

Trafalgar Law glanced at the little commotion that was happening at the doorstep. He will delay Ace and Sabo's murder for a while, hearing this interesting turn of events- that Ace has another brother was rather amusing for Law, and the reactions he'll witness is just the bonus.

"Your father and Sabo's mother made him of course!" Garp proudly replied to Ace and grumbled afterwards, "But I won't tell you how, you pervert son of my son."

Ace wanted to hit his face with his palm. He even swear that he heard Law's dark chuckles and it seemed that the bastard was enjoying himself. The worst thing that could probably happen to Ace if Sabo's not around is that, he'll go nuts. He tried to calm down and decided to think through things, so that he will not lose his sanity and ended up like Trafalgar Law (that guy completely lost the screws in his head).

"Gramps, do you want some tea and senbei while we're waiting for Sabo?" Ace tried to calmly ask his grandfather… they keyword was tried.

They needed to wait for Sabo to settle this. No! Ace needed Sabo to settle this because between the two of them, Sabo is more rational than him and besides, this involved him too.

"Yeah? Yeah! Sure!" Garp nodded and sat on the couch, near Law as if he's finally at home, "Anyway, do you still keep my stash of doughnuts here?"

"No, gramps. We don't do that anymore." Ace stoically replied– his facial expression and tone were blank, but his eyes were moving rapidly, he's looking for something… more on, someone.

"That's too bad 'cause real men eat doughnuts!" Garp said with full of conviction in his tone, "…so be sure to have one next time, okay?"

Ace ignored his grandfather, who's still preaching about Men and Doughnuts. He's busy looking for the chibi– his little brother to ask if he wanted some snacks. Apparently, said brat disappeared moments after they entered the Apartment. Ace failed to find him, so he gave up and went to the kitchen to prepare some tea for his grandfather and to find a pack of senbei.

When he's about to open the refrigerator, Ace won't lie that he was surprised that the damn thing was already open, and that the kid he's looking earlier was helping himself for some food in the fridge.

Ace smirked while watching his little brother, shoving some leftover food – from last night's dinner and breakfast earlier – into his little mouth. He's not yet used that he has a little brother and this information really shocked him, but his little brother is interestingly so much like him and Sabo! He just hoped that Law will not drive his self to the edge of his unknown sanity in the future… since there were no longer two D brothers, who have bottomless pit stomach that will raid the refrigerator at midnight; there will be three D brothers now!

Ace raised a brow when the kid's head slowly turned around, as if the kid sensed Ace behind him. Luffy stiffened when he saw Ace, peering down at him and then, he gave Ace a not-so apologetic beam. Ace could tell that the chibi– his little brother knew that he's in trouble.

Trafalgar Law happened to know a tidbits of history about the Monkey D family, and it's not like he was interested to know about them in the first place. He just knew that Ace and Sabo are stepbrothers as he lived with them and now, Luffy – the brat that annoyed him for touching his customized Bepo mug earlier (because Trafalgar D Water Law's number one rule is: no one touches and dare to insult THE BEPO) – was his housemates' blood brother.

The rest of the history of the Monkey D family were all blurted out by Garp. Their history was openly told like a fairytale story to an eager child– Law was sure that even Nico Robin would find this information interesting, but unfortunately, Law was not eager nor a child and he's no Nico Robin either, and Garp is just plain crazy geezer.

And then, Law noticed that Luffy came back and it's obvious to him that the kid wandered in the kitchen before Ace decided to kick him out… with snacks from their pantry in his little arms, of course!

Trafalgar Law willed himself to look away, but he suddenly couldn't. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the kid's bulging cheeks, and Law watched Luffy stuffed snacks in his mouth and puffing cheeks.

"Those cheeks… it looks like fluffy like Bepo's fur." Law thought to himself while staring at Luffy's puffing cheeks and imagining fluffy things… you know, like the fur of his human-size Bepo stuffed toy.

When Law came back to reality from his fluffy world, he was more annoyed to the kid.

"That annoying kid's cheeks were not the same as Bepo's fur because in the first place, those cheeks were made up of skin and not fur!" Law angrily told himself.

Right now, Trafalgar Law knew that he's not making sense anymore. And then, the kid almost gave Law a heart attack when he found his ear thermometer. To his relief, Luffy eventually left it, but when Luffy spotted his Limited Edition Bepo Figurine, Law wanted to die, especially how Luffy played with his Bepo.

Law was biting his lips as hard as he can. Having Ace and Sabo around was enough to drive him insane and having the crazy geezer in the same room with him was like staying in an asylum, but what more if there's a younger one?

More insufferable than Ace and Sabo, and more insane than Garp! He couldn't imagine craziness beyond more craziness.

When Law heard all over the place, seemingly echoing a loud crashing sound: like a certain figurine meeting the floor for the first time and probably, the last time… it was enough to pull the trigger in Trafalgar Law's nerves.

"Hey!" Law growled to the kid.

He didn't care – as if he cares in the first place – anymore if the damn geezer was there or not. For Trafalgar D Water Law, Bepo is his most sacred, precious treasure.

And this kid just broke it! Destroyed it beyond repair. This is unforgivable. Law finally decided to hate the kid just like how Law hates his bat shit and insane grandfather.
