I don't really like this one that much, but it's the only L word that I could come up with at the time that I could actually make a drabble off of.

Still don't own One Piece dammit!

Loophole

Six months ago Eustass Kidd was for once in a full blown smile all day happy mood. Why you may ask well the answer was that after pouring over legal documents with his best friend Killer he had found a loophole in the betrothal contract his parents had made for him before they had passed away. The loophole was that if he was able to marry before his twenty first birthday then he didn't have to marry the idiot he was engaged to.

He shuddered to think of marrying Hime, really what kind of people named their kid princess? The answer was the people that gave birth to Hime. Some of his friends did question why he didn't want to marry her and he could list off the top of his head three reasons.

Reason one she was an idiot and not the sort of idiot that had some smart moments but the full blown thing, she didn't know how to spell dog for god's sake! Reason two which the friends who questioned his choice thought was good she was gorgeous, but do you know how much gunk she uses to keep herself that way? He had gone shopping with her once and she had spent over three hundred dollars for her 'beauty products'. Which takes us to reason three, she was a brat of a girl who always got what she wanted and wasn't above throwing a temper tantrum until she got what she wanted. And her temper tantrums put many things to shame four year olds angry shrills, a elephant stampede, and a earthquake the big kind the ones that could total a entire city.

So you see why marrying her would be unappealing to him don't you? And you see why he'd be so giddy about finding a way to get out of the engagement? Well as of an hour ago his giddiness was no more because he had spent five months trying to find someone who'd he wouldn't mind marrying and had come p with no one, no one! Except Killer but his best friend was already evolved with a 'Nico Robin' person. So all Kidd could do now was laze around his house and sigh and groan and sigh some more. "Kidd stop sighing so much, if you're really so bored then you can come with me to see Robin and her friends."

Kidd stared at Killer then sighed again. "Kidd seriously, you've been laying around here for six days straight sighing. It's depressing, you're coming with me."

With a glare, an excellent show of how hard it was to get up and become presentable to the world and the silent treatment Killer had successfully dragged Kidd out of his house and was now driving him to the place where he, Robin, and Robin's friends were meeting, at an amusement park.

Kidd for lack of a better word was pouting, he didn't get why he even had to go with Killer, if he wanted to mope around his house and angst about his fate then Killer should respect that choice and leave him to his wallowing in peace. But no Killer just had to be a good friend and try to help him get his mind away from his saddening thoughts.

"So why an amusement park?" It had been bugging Kidd all day, he knew Killer didn't really enjoy such a public and loud place like an amusement park and out of what Killer had told him about Robin neither did she.

"Because, it's one of the few places Robin doesn't have to play 'babysitter' 24/7 for her more childish friends."

"Then why is she even friends with those people if she has to constantly watch over them?" It seemed like something that would put an instant stop to any kind of relationship.

"She likes their childishness and Luffy and the others have helped her a lot." Kidd perked up a little he had heard the name Luffy before he could swear he did…..But where?

A mere ten minutes later Kidd was being pulled put of the car by Killer and dragged to the entrance of the amusement park to meet Robin and Robin's friends. The first thing he saw was a green haired man fighting with a blond haired curly eye browed smoker, next was a orange haired woman hitting the fighting duo over the head, followed by a rather skinny man with an afro and top hat laughing with a blue haired Speedo wearer, a woman he could only guess was Robin was talking to a short guy with a pinkish red hat on and a long nosed guy, the last person he saw made him pause. The person had dark hair, a scar under his left eye, and a straw hat……. It was Monkey D. Luffy!

He knew that name sounded familiar, he remembered playing with the energetic teen when they were both five, they had met through Luffy's godfather Shanks. Three months later a mere two weeks before his 21st birthday Kidd proposed to Luffy, and of course Luffy tackled Kidd and yelled a happy 'yes'.
