And here comes 'Saturday'
Disclaimer: All Oda's still...
Enjoy!
It was quarter past twelve, so technically earliest morning, when he decided to go out. It was Saturday and at his age you were supposed to go out on Saturdays. That it was Friday night didn't impress him in the slightest. It was Saturday and he would go out.
The first thing he noticed when entering the bar was fiery red hair. Raising an eyebrow at this he strode over to the bar and ordered a Whiskey. Most bars didn't serve the stuff pure and if, it was usually really cheap. But this one place actually served a good Whiskey, which made it one of Law's favourite bars. To see Eustass Kid here though, surprised him a little.
'The Moby Dick' as the bar he was currently sitting in was called seemed to be a little rough terrain even for Eustass. The guy was badassed, but Law had always figured that it was more show than anything else. Apparently he'd been wrong. A bemused smirk crossed his features, disappearing as fast as it had shown.
Well, if Kid was stepping into his terrain, then he would let the other man see how stupid this really was. They may have come to a certain understanding during school, but this here was different. And the redhead had just made the mistake of laying hands on one of Law's favourite barmaids. 'The Moby Dick' was not a place for sensible women, but even in a place like this there were certain rules.
The dark haired man knew that his friend could take care of herself. But he couldn't quite make out Kid yet, so he wouldn't leave it to Pola to beat herself out of this. Putting his now-empty glass down he made his way through the crowd. He was in no hurry, in the end; he wanted to give her a chance to stand her ground.
As he had expected, Kid was an extremely stubborn man. Though Pola put up a good fight, he just wouldn't let go of her. The doorkeeper was already looking over, making signs to the other guards standing at the walls of the room. Then Smoker spotted Law making his way through to the barmaid and relaxed.
Regardless the fact that Trafalgar Law was nothing more than a high school student, he was rather strong and had always protected the women working in 'The Moby Dick'. Keeping his men on alert, Smoker watched as the dark haired man got close enough to grab Kid's hand and remove it from the barmaid's ass.
"I think that's been enough, Mister Eustass." Law's whisper was almost lost over the noise and loud music in the bar but the redhead didn't need to hear them. It was obvious that Law liked that woman, probably more than he should have. Slowly the dark haired's grip on Kid's arm vanished, together with the sexy barmaid.
"Trafalgar." The dark haired man smirked. He nodded into the direction of the bar. And when he walked back over there, Kid followed. The barkeeper wordlessly handed over a Whiskey to Law, a small appreciation of his help, then he turned his face to Kid. The disapproving hiss passed unheard, only Law realized how pissed Marco was. He was very protective of his girls.
Oblivious of the tension building up, Kid ordered a Bacardi Cola. Of course Marco handed it over then patiently waited for the guest to pay. The redhead snorted, now realizing that only Law was getting the special treating. "You shouldn't touch the ladies here. You might get into trouble you will not know how to handle." Trafalgar was only giving a good advice, being fully aware of Marco's rather pissed look.
"Coming from a fragile little kid like you…" the redhead snorted. Law just smirked. They were the same age and even though he really looked a little fragile, he was not. Besides, the dark-haired man was pretty sure that Kid knew that.
"I wasn't necessarily talking about myself, Mister Eustass." And at this he saw Marco relax. Good. The barkeeper was as protective over his girls as if they were his sisters. It wasn't good to cause trouble in 'The Moby Dick'. Though Marco could beat the shit out of almost everyone, if you really actually dared to touch any of the barmaids (and Smoker and his crew didn't manage to get in between fast enough), the owner would appear on the scene.
A shudder run through the dark-haired as he thought of the man they all called Whitebeard. He was huge, a giant mass of muscles and pure will power. Most trouble makes trembled by the mere sight of the man and Law could very well remember the only day he had seen Whitebeard interfering in a fight. To describe the remains of the two fighters as bloody pulps was as close to the truth as you could get.
He felt Kid's gaze and turned to face the other man. He grinned. "It seems our passes cross quite often lately." Law just shrugged. 'The Moby Dick' was one of his favourite clubs. "Didn't know you were badassed enough for this place. Otherwise I would have gone over to Kaido's." A flash of anger crossed Kid's face. The dark-haired male just smirked. So he had hit a nerve there. Good!
"No one dares to go to Kaido's for no good reason, boy. And you know that." Law turned his face to Marco, his grin widening. "I never said I had no good reason, have I?" The barkeeper just shook his head in silent acceptance of Trafalgar's stupidity and handed a drink to another customer.
"Anyways, I'm off. I need to get up early-ish tomorrow. See you Kid."
