Law was beyond furious. He was livid.

In the short five minutes that Law had spent in the presence of Doflamingo, the deranged man had the audacity to call Heart Community Hospital to speak with the Head Director to inform him that Law was to be on a Holiday vacation. Law had heard the incredulous shout of the man on the phone and inwardly cringed, Law was one of the best doctors at the hospital and even he was wary of Dr. Hogback. The man's whole demeanor was unnerving to say the least, and the fascination he had with corpses was down right creepy. Law was certain that Dr. Hogback wouldn't have agreed at least not in this lifetime, and to his absolute horror, the blonde did something that completely changed the other's mind.

"Of course I won't leave you without a surgeon, Dr, Hogback, how careless of me would that be? No, I'm simply letting you know that my dearest Godson will be taking a Vacation and in his place, a man by the name of Crocus will be filling in for him." The blonde stated rather dismissively as he calmed the prestigious doctor.

"Who the fuck do you think you are deciding this for me!" the surgeon exploded as soon as the call was ended.

To which a mock hurt expression was lit on Doflamingo's features. "How your words wound me, Law. If you must know I am doing this for your own good." the tall man stated, though the extremely large grin on his face told a different story. "You work too hard for your own good Law, you should be thanking me. Oh~ and think of all the fun we'll have!"

Law's face was becoming darker with each passing second, if looks could kill. Doflamingo would have been dead long before any of this had a chance to happen and Law was fairly certain he would have been better off.

"Look at you, speechless at my gratitude, well there is no need to thank me. Now get your jailbait out of the car and lets get ready for tonight!" Doflamingo spoke up again waving to the confused boy within Law's car.

Law was lost in his dark thoughts of painfully killing Doflamingo, perhaps disembowelment, no that wasn't good enough, maybe bleeding him dry? No that wouldn't work either, removing his limbs, one small appendage at a time? Law liked that one, and what a sight it was! However, the mention of the younger male brought him out of his dark fantasies to glare once again at his 'Godfather'. "Don't you wave to him. He doesn't need to be acquaintanced with you!" Law snapped irritatingly and marched away from the blonde ending the conversation and thus complying to the man's wishes, though this he would never say out loud.

With each step law took to his car, he tried his hardest to calm his nerves. How he was going to survive the next three weeks was beyond him. He was sure he would have a heart failure before then.

Sighing he pulled the car door open and caught the teen's waving wrist in his palm. The previously grinning boy looked up at Law questioningly. "I was just saying 'hi' to you're friend." the boy said thinking nothing of the action.

Law had to work hard not to grimace more at the words, releasing Luffy's hand he growled out. "He isn't my friend. And he shouldn't be your's Luffy-ya."

The dark haired teen only looked more confused as he tilted his head slightly, his brows furrowing. "But Torao, if he isn't your friend then what are we doing here?"

Law knew Luffy deserved some sort of explanation, especially of the way he was behaving towards the blonde. But he didn't want to talk about Doflamingo. Despite himself Law found himself answering the question, albeit reluctantly. "I didn't lie when I said this was where I grew up, mostly. And the pink Flamingo looking man, is Doflamingo... he and his family took me in. But I mean it when I say not to be his friend Luffy-ya. That man is nuts." Law said as reassuring as he could while still being vague about his past.

His past belonged no where else but in the past.

Luffy looked pensive with the information that was given, and the surgeon knew the other had no reason to trust him, amnesia or not, but then why was Law experiencing... dread? Did he not want to loose the younger's absolute trust, the very same trust that he was given without question the moment the small raven haired boy woke up?

As Law was running this new thought in his mind, he had failed to see the boy's features soften as he had deemed Law trustworthy once more. "Shishishi. Don't look so sad, Torao. I believe you, my brain might not be 100% either but even I think all those pink feathers Mingo wears are strange." Luffy said with a laugh and hopping out of the car.

"Oi Torao, a big house like this just has to have lots and lots of meat right?" the teen said obviously salivating with the thought. Making the surgeon roll his eyes, unable to suppress a relieved chuckle. "I'm sure there's plenty in this house, Luffy-ya. But we have to wait until dinner, Jora-ya will kill us if we don't eat as a 'family'."

At this news the teen's gaze fell, "But Torao~ I'm hungry now."

"You just ate on the way here."

"I know, but my stomach needs more meat!" Luffy huffed and Law ruffled the raven tresses, a habit he was failing to see was becoming more and more common. "We'll just have to distract you until then, want a tour of the place while the rest of them are out?"

Unable to keep his pout up, Luffy's wide smile broke through. "Yosh! Let's go!" and with that he rushed towards the mansion.

Luffy was amazed! the house Torao had lived in was amazing! it was SUPER! ... wait that wasn't his voice. A frown tugged at the corners of Luffy's mouth as he pondered the invading quote in his mind. If it wasn't his voice, then who's was it? And what was it doing hanging around in his mind?

Before Luffy could think farther on the subject he was pulled out of his thoughts by Torao. "And this is the rec room." the older man said opening the double doors wide and earning a gasp from the teen. "No way!" Luffy exclaimed and sped into the arcade. The place was dimly illuminated, thought that could be quickly overlooked by all the blinking screens of all the games around. Luffy remembered next to none of the games, thought that didn't stop him from immediately finding a large screened television with a console and wireless controllers. "Oi Torao! Look this one is called 'Pirate King'! It sounds so cool!"

So engrossed was he in beginning the game he barely heard Torao chuckle under his breath as he took a seat on the second beanbag chair, explaining that Mingo kept the games not only for his own entertainment, but also for the children he took into his home and that he would meet them eventually.

The hours seemed to fly by without either of them knowing, both of them engrossed in their current game of Pirate King in which Luffy was on a quest with his avatar defeating all sorts of enemies, from monsters to marines and even other pirates in search of the World's greatest treasure, The One Piece. Eventually coming to parts where he reached levels where the boss Captains would appear. "This Crocodile guy is really getting on my nerves!" the teen huffed as he dodged another attack from the approaching enemy, now on his third attempt of the level.

Behind him, watching in amusement Torao laughed. "C'mon Luffy-ya, he isn't that hard you just have to get the water power up like I showed you."

"I'm trying!" Luffy retorted as he narrowed his gaze on the screen, his brow furrowed in concentration while his thumbs moved swiftly on the joy stick and buttons on the controller, his body leaning closer to the screen as he was so close to getting the mentioned power up. "C'mon, c'mon!" the teen chanted pushing the last buttons and capturing the power up. "YOSH, I GOT IT!" he cheered his arms shooting upwards as he reveled in the moment of his victory.

"Shishishi, and now for Crocy." Luffy grinned turning his avatar back around and racing off to the leveled boss.

"You do that, I have to go to the bathroom real quick Luffy-ya." Torao stated, earning a dismissive nod from the teen, mutting a "Yeah, sure."

The fight began and Luffy attacked and countered when he could his excitement growing more and more with each hit he managed to get, and each time one of Crocodile's three lives vanished. One more combo hit and he would win! Hell yes! Luffy leaned further towards the screen. "Almost!" the teen exclaimed as he was about to push the last button to his fisnishing move before the controller vanished from his hands. "Wha-"

"I said to stop playing my game!" a blonde complained, though the words were lost on the raven haired teen as he watched with great dismay as his avatar was pounded into the ground and defeated... again.

"Why'd you do that for!" Luffy cried out whirling to the new presence.

"Because it's mine, and who the fuck are you, another stray the young master brought in?" the blonde asked with a disapproving look, as he eyed Luffy up and down.

Luffy worked hard not to let the anger in him explode as he eyes the other teen, he was slightly shorter than himself with long shoulder length blonde hair, pink piercings, and was everyone in this family obsessed with strange clothing? The kid's clothes were anything but child friendly, the other teen wore an odd looking hat with bull like horns protruding from either side of his head, a long sleeved turtle neck with a giraffe like pattern and shorts too tight around his, well area. And how the heck had this guy managed to stand much less walk in those heels?!

Luffy was becoming more uncomfortable than upset now, though the latter feeling still remained. He felt his mouth form into a pout as he stared at the weirdly dressed teen who was looking more irritated by the second not entirely understanding the situation, and who was the young master?

"I asked you a question, or are you too stupid to understand?" the blonde sneered.

"Dellinger-ya. I see you're still a brat." a low growl resounded behind Luffy, who immediately felt relief flood him as Torao's voice reached him. "Torao~ you're back!" Luffy found himself exclaiming as he moved back to stand alongside Torao and away from the glare of the blonde.

"Well if it isn't Trafalgar Law, the young master wasn't joking when he said you had returned to the Family. But who's the stupid kid?" the blonde asked once again, the hostility in his glare only becoming more prominent.

'Delly? Is that his name?' Luffy wondered, vaguely wondering why none of them had any normal easy to remember names? Like Zoro, Zoro was an easy name to remember. But wait.. does Luffy know a Zoro?

Luffy didn't know and all this thinking was making his head hurt.

Snatching the game controller out of the kid's hands Torao confiscated it. "Let me make this clear Dellinger-ya, and I will not repeat myself to you again. We are here because of that bird brains stupid whims, but that does not mean we will sit back and take anyone's shit. You are to stay clear of Luffy-ya's path, and leave him the fuck alone. Should I find out you so much as looked at him the wrong way, you better watch your back." the older man said matter-a-factly as if he was stating the truest words.

Luffy himself felt a slight shiver creep up his spine, the tone in Law's voice and the threat were something he wasn't used to hearing in the surgeon. Torao had sounded very dangerous, and just what did he intend to do to the boy? It was then that the fact he had known the man for no more than two days became very clear to Luffy. Just how much did he really know about Torao?

'But he has been nothing but kind towards you, Luffy.' his mind reasoned, 'And the threat he is making is on your behalf. That jerk had it coming.' the voice continued.

Again Luffy felt his head hurting with the strain he was putting it through. Torao was a good guy, he just knew it despite this small fault, Luffy told himself, law is good, he's my friend, he's family. With that new thought in his mind, Luffy smiled again focusing back on the scene where Delly had stomped off to who knows where, and Torao gently ruffling the mop of raven hair on his head again, the action bringing a comforting warmth to the teen.

"I'm sorry I left you alone Luffy-ya, don't pay attention to him, he just needs to learn the world doesn't submit to him as Doflamingo made him believe." Torao said removing his hand and letting out a sigh as he looked to his wrist for the time. "We're about to meet the rest of the family... let me warn you, they are quite a group, but don't worry Luffy-ya I won't let any of them bother you." he promised and gently took his wrist, leading Luffy towards the dining area.

Arriving, Luffy hadn't expected to see this many people all gathered in one table, and though he had expected them all to be strangely clothed, he was still not prepared for Torao's eccentric family. His head spun just watching them all.

The chatter that had kept the room lively stopped as soon as Torao and Luffy stepped into the room. The man to break the sudden silence, was of course Mingo.

"Law~ you remembered the exact time we have dinner! Oh I'm so proud of my Godson!" the tall blonde praised as Torao simply grunted in response. "Come, come I saved you and Jailbait a seat." the flamboyant man called pointing to the seats directly to his right, the first one of course meant for Torao while the next one was for him? Was he 'Jailbait?' Luffy didn't know what to think of the nickname, but decided to roll with it.

Luffy soon found himself sitting in between Torao and a small girl with turquoise hair and large round blue eyes that looked up to him curiously. Though she said nothing while she stuffed grape after grape into her mouth. Tilting his head, Luffy stared back at her, coal eyes meeting her large blue ones as the two had a staring contest which was not interrupted by the sound of Mingo clearing his throat and making a light sniffling noise.

"After five long years our family is complete once again, and for that, we feast!" the man announced.

'Feast' that single word broke Luffy's stare and brought him immediately to attention, his head turning in every way possible. "YOSH WHERE'S THE MEAT?!" the teen exclaimed earning a variety of glances thrown his way, though many quickly looked away after a glare from Torao. A look that clearly said 'Leave him or I'll kill you.'

"What makes him so special." Luffy heard Delly mutter across the table. However, at this time he couldn't find it in himself to care, not with the approaching meat that was being carried by the staff followed by a portly old woman with double colored hair, half of it yellow and the other a red orange.

"So Law... How have you been?" another voice belonging to a nice looking lady with dark brown eyes and long dark brown hair accessorized with a blood red rose spoke up in an attempt to break the atmosphere that seemed to crack with the tension their arrival had brought.

"Fine." Torao gruffed out, already seeming bored of the scene before him.

"Well I for one am wonderinG who the lad with him is." a bald old man spoke up while making a "G" letter with his palms.

Beside him a stout man with the worst hygiene Luffy had ever seen chuckled. "Oi, oi Lao G, do you think he's Law's friend?" he asked making one wonder if his mind was as messed up as his appearance.

"Of course he's his friend Trebol, otherwise he would be here!" another man with a long brown hair and two magenta stripes running vertically down on each side of his face chided the snot covered man across from him.

His observations were then mockingly praised by a man with yet another weird hairstyle, were those meant to be helicopter blades? "Wow Diamante, you're so smart." the man snickered, making the aforementioned Diamante laugh and turn down the compliment. "Oh stop Buffalo I'm no such thing."

Beside him a man with a completely pale complexion laughed. "You're right Diamante you are no where near smart! I on the other hand." the man stated pointing to himself proudly. "Am the smartest out of all of you, isn't that right Monet?"

The named girl gave an exasperated sigh and fixed the glasses on the bridge of her nose. "Sure you are, Caesar."

Next to her a burly blonde man with a variety of scars running across his face laughed. "Well that sounded convincing Monet, what he doesn't pay you enough to actually mean it now?"

"Whether he does or not, I'm sure my salary far exceeds your's Bellamy." the green haired woman retorted.

By this time Luffy had already piled up his plate contently eating as he watched the banter going on around him.

"Quite the appetite he has, you sure know how to pick them, Law." A sudden drawl brought Luffy to look across the table to the man that was sitting across from Torao, the man he supposed, looked more normal than most of the ones who were at the table, even with the lightning bolts imprinted in his beard.

"You're one to talk, Vergo-san." Torao growled under his breath as he ate the small portion he had on his plate.

Down the table a man who had yet to speak chewed on his yellow pacifier, surrounding him were three scantly clad women, who Luffy had guessed were here for him and not the food. Breaking his silence the man stated, "A strong man is not afraid to let his hunger run rampant." to which the girls around him squealed with joy, "Oh~ Señor, so hard boiled!~"

Next to him another blonde haired man, with a matching bushy beard laughed and nudged the maid lady from earlier that day. "Hey Baby5 have you a date for this year's Christmas party?" he teased the blushing lady who shook her head as she cradled her cheeks. "I haven't found him yet, but I will Machvise just you wait. I will find the man who needs me the most!" she declared earning a laugh from the man.

The dinner continued on with a lighter atmosphere as Luffy watched each member interacting with one another and they came to accept him in some of their discussions, though he didn't bother commenting too much as he was much more interested in getting a hold of all the meat he possibly could. As long as he had meat, and Torao next to him, Luffy decided, the family wasn't so bad, though he was curious how Torao knew this bunch.
