Demon Tail
Chapter Four: Devil Fruits
By Era Fey
...
Kidd stared at the white haired man who self proclaimed to be a demon exterminator. Just fucking wonderful. Look at how much trouble this incubus was bringing him every single day. Fuck Trafalgar Law, figuratively and literally one of these days.
"What bullshit! Exterminating demons with a fucking jutte. How do you do it? You shove it up a demon's ass and chant some spells? Wait. Don't tell me. It sounds something Sadi-Chan would like to do. On second thought, I don't want to know. So why don't you take your little fucked up hobby and go to a real haunted house. In case you are too retarded to notice, this is a brothel. You're disturbing my business."
Kidd gave the hunter a shove on his shoulder, trying to assert his authority in his establishment. He wasn't going to let a stupid wanna-be albino ruin his infamous reputation. When the other man didn't seem to get the hint of leaving and continued to ignore him in favor of Law, Kidd was getting irritated.
"Oh, should I also mention that I'm not housing any fucking demon?"
"That's a lie and you know it." The hunter said without taking his eyes off Law whose expression stayed blank.
Kidd put back his poker face. How did the hunter even know Law was an incubus? Was he using a demon detector? One question at a time. "What's your name anyway?"
"Smoker."
"Seriously? Your name is fucking Smoker?" Kidd laughed at the man's face. Granted that his own name was equally as ridiculous as the hunter's but there was no one foolish enough to laugh at his name without having a lifetime of hell. He had personally made sure of that. He even had victims to testify his claims. "Did your parents name you Smoker or that's what you want people to call you, because if it's the latter case then you're retarded. Here is a suggestion, since you chase demons, why don't call yourself Chaser then? Or Hunter? That works nicely."
"Very cute," Smoker said. "Now shut the hell up."
"Look, asshole. I'm trying to be civil here. You know what? Never mind. I don't have time for this crap." Kidd grabbed the jutte and turned it away from Law, causing the hunter to finally look at him. "Get out."
The white haired hunter looked between Kidd, Law and the other New World prostitutes watching the commotion from upstairs. "You have given me no choice but to do this. What a pain." He sighed, scratching his white hair. "How much is it for a whore?"
"Twenty thousand beli!" Kidd blurted out. "Why? Are you interested?"
"Yes." Smoker said.
Kidd froze when the hunter's answer registered. "Wait… what?"
Beside him, Law groaned. "This is ridiculous."
Kidd agreed. This was totally unexpected. Well, at least the situation was turning more beneficial. "What the fuck, but whatever. Who do you want?" He looked up to Bonney, Hancock and Sadi-Chan who were casually leaning against the stairs' railing. "Which one of you is free?"
"Can't do!" Bonney shouted from above. "I'm having my day off today. You bastard can't make me work all the time. You agreed to let me a day off to eat out all I want. Sex takes a lot of energy and I have to eat. If you make me work, it'll be rape because I won't be willing! I will—"
"Alright, alright, stop bitching! Fuck!" Kidd shouted back and turned back to the hunter. "We got four attendants left, the big headed tranny, the lion guy you knocked out, a freak-loving sadist and a stuck up bitch. Choose wisely."
"I've an appointment with ze candy-boy already, Captain-boy!" Ivankov cried out. "Ze needs to zee me today. We've important operations to do. Ze wants to be a candy-chan. I must help him."
"Heard that? Our tranny is not available. I really wish you would pick him though. And our Absalom is out cold. Our bitchy Empress might try to castrate you if you displease her, which I'm sure with your attitude, that's pretty much a guarantee." Kidd said. "Don't panic. I think you will go well with Sadi-Chan. Both of you can go on and show each other your toys." He pointed at the jutte and grinned at the demon exterminator. "If you get what I mean."
Smoker bit onto his cigars and chuckled. "None of them. I'll that the house special."
Kidd narrowed his eyes. "What are you talking about? What house special?" This totally wasn't going according to plan. What the fuck was the hunter planning now?
He watched the man walked around the entrance room, eying his customers and successfully scaring a few away, until he stopped in front of Law. Kidd felt his stomach dropped when the hunter blew smoke at the incubus who seemed determined to stand on his ground.
"I like your little house special here." Smoker said, circling an arm around Law's shoulder in a tight embrace. "I know he is very… special."
Law tensed, earning a victorious chuckle from the hunter. Kidd clenched his fists and forced a tight smile. He wanted to yell out and trash this brothel to the ground. Where the fuck was Killer when he needed him? He should be the one handling this sort of crap. Kidd was supposed to be lazing in his penthouse, signing shitty documents. This was giving him a massive headache. He really needed to get laid. He had accumulated enough shit ever since a stupid, yet undeniably very sexy, incubus crawled into his bed nights ago. This was all Trafalgar Law's fault. Why the fuck was he protecting the demon's ass anyway? He should just let the hunter exterminate Law once and for all and save him a shitload of headache.
"He is our cook. Not a whore. I'm afraid you can't take him," was what Kidd ended up saying.
"Is that so?" The hunter hummed, running his jutte down Law's slender throat, not touching the skin.
With a scowl on his pretty face, Law batted the weapon away and shrugged himself free. "Leave me alone. You heard the big oaf. I'm not for sale."
"Hey," Kidd snarled, offended.
"This tactic is not going to work, is it?" Smoker sighed again and looked at Kidd. "I don't know what sort of deal it made with you but for your own sake, don't make this difficult for me."
"He is not a demon." Kidd said firmly.
"In that case, you don't mind me testing him out."
"How are you going to do that?"
"I will show you but not here." Smoker waved his hand at the customers gathered and to the prostitutes. "Unless you don't want to turn your brothel into the local exorcist site with people coming here for a whole complete different purpose then you get me an empty room."
Kidd studied the hunter for a split second, ignoring the heated glare Law was sending him, and nodded. "Come on."
He showed them a spare empty room he had previously decided on giving it to Law ever since he started working here. So far the demon had either found sleep elsewhere or in his bed. Anyway, at least the room would serve for something now. He shooed them inside and locked the door. The last thing he needed was people barging in and seeing weird shit. With that being said, Kidd would really prefer to stay on the other side of the door and pretend this whole demon business never existed. Yet now he was stuck with a demon and a fucking hunter, trying to prevent a disaster from happening under his roof. He wasn't even sure why he lied to the hunter. It wasn't as if he had a way of stopping the cat from getting out of the bag. The hunter was going to know the truth.
Law was surprisingly quiet and compliant. From experience, Kidd knew the incubus was anything but submissive. He still remembered how Law had cut the other demon, Peterman, in halves with his ridiculously heavy, flying sword. Kidd only hoped Law would keep the gore to the minimum if he did intent to kill the hunter. Seriously, how was he going to explain the whole situation to Killer if he came back and saw bits and pieces of a body everywhere? Killer was already suspicious enough. Goddammit, this was retarded.
"Now let's get to business." Smoker said, cracking his neck bones.
Kidd watched Law who smirked. "It won't hurt, right?" Law said. "I've never met a hunter before."
"Are you admitting the truth?" Smoker asked, approaching the incubus with the jutte.
"Nope. I'm just saying." Law shrugged and danced away from the weapon and onto the bed. "You aren't going to hit me with that, right? It'll hurt."
"Just a little." Smoker's jutte was an inch away from Law's skin when the demon's smirk when wider.
"I mean… it'll hurt you a lot if you try to attack me."
"You don't need to worry about me."
Kidd rolled his eyes. "Aw fuck, you guys are so cocky."
"Well, I do like cocks." Law answered with a sly grin and the lazy flutter of his stormy eyes.
"I hope you mean roosters." Kidd said flatly.
"Mister Eustass, you know exactly what kind of cock I'm referring to." Law grinned.
Kidd would have run out the room for a cold shower or just fuck him in the bed if the hunter wasn't trying to exterminate the incubus right now. Everything was so fucked up. And this was all Trafalgar fucking Law's fault.
"Glad you remember I'm still here." Smoker said when Kidd glanced at him. "Alright, let's get this over with. Are you ready?"
"What are you going to do with that thing?" Law asked, pointing at the jutte. "I'll admit this will hurt me if you try to shove it up my ass."
"You're talkative now. Why is that?"
Law shrugged. "I'm shy in front of people."
"Bullshit." Kidd said.
"Is this your true color?" Smoker asked, ignoring Kidd. As usual.
"Not at all. You don't even know the half of it. You're welcome to try, Mister Smoker." Law grinned lazily and he looked quite seductive in it too.
Smoker inched the jutte closer to Law's throat. "If you're a demon, the tip of this will cause you… a bit of pain."
"A bit? By that, do you mean I will probably die from it touching me?"
"Most possibly." Smoker said. "Many demons did meet their unfortunate demise. The tip is coated with anti-demon toxin that is highly corrosive upon contact."
"Charming." Law chuckled darkly.
"Oi, isn't this too much?" Kidd asked.
"Have faith in me, Mister Eustass." Law purred. "If I fail, you must come to my rescue."
Shaking his head, Kidd backed away with a smirk. "I wouldn't count on that. This is your shit. You clean up yourself."
"You're so mean." Law said and immediately leaped off the bed when the hunter suddenly attacked with his jutte. The weapon went straight to the spot Law was lying in.
"You're nimble." Smoker commented, studying his opponent carefully.
"Very useful during sex." Law said.
Kidd snorted at the demon's words. "Oh, don't act like you know a thing about sex. Technically speaking, you're still a virgin."
"Shut up, Mister Eustass."
"Hurry up and let the hunter poke his junk at you."
"Won't you get jealous?" Law teased.
"Like hell." Kidd rolled his red eyes.
Smoker was watching them, puffing smoke out of his cigars. "Let's cut the chase. Just admit this little shit is a demon and save me the trouble."
"Now what's the fun in that, Mister Smoker?"
"Come on, Trafalgar Law, finish this up. I have better things to do." Kidd said, knowing perfectly well that it was an order. But Smoker didn't have to know that.
Law grunted when whatever demon-name-binding-spell worked. His black tail appeared, swishing in the air. "You're such a bad master, Mister Eustass."
"That's more like it." Smoker said, attacking in rigor now.
His moves were well versed and accurate. His jutte came crashing down with impressive force, shattering furniture and denting walls and floor. Kidd didn't mind the damage as long as he could have a spar with the hunter when this was over.
Law attacked a few times. But without his sword, he was resorted to his fists. The hunter was clearly a veteran fighter. He danced away from the attack and countered it which was countered by Law and it went on and on. Kidd would have gotten bored of the fight if it wasn't for their amazing speed and power. Each strike could easily maim a lesser man if the hit landed yet they treated it like nothing. So far, the jutte was unsuccessful in hitting its target. The incubus was like a snake, slippery to catch.
"This is like foreplay went wrong." Kidd muttered to himself.
However, Law reacted to his words and glanced at him for a split second and that was it. It was a careless mistake they both knew and the hunter gladly used his rare opportunity. The jutte hit its mark and went through flesh despite its blunt tip.
Kidd's eyes widened in shock when Law stumbled back, his hands pressing over his stomach which was bleeding profusely. The blood continued to tickle down unstoppable while the wound tried to close itself. The demon was grinding his teeth as it panted heavily, suppressing his cries.
"Oh shit." Kidd was immediately by Law's side, helping him with the pressure. Still, it was a lot of blood and even as a veteran street fighter, Kidd felt his stomach churned.
"Step aside." Smoker said, pointing his bloody jutte at Kidd now.
"Look, he is not dangerous." Kidd finally said. "I know demons are supposed to be nasty and shit but this guy hasn't hurt anyone. In fact, he even killed a demon yesterday. That got to count for something."
"He is dangerous." The hunter wasn't unfazed.
Goddammit. Why was Kidd even begging for this incubus's life? He had just met the demon two days ago. Sure, Law was sexy and bitchy but he wasn't worth this much trouble, right? Kidd grunted at his conflicted feelings.
"He is an incubus. He said he's some sort of sex demon or whatever. He just wants sex and I'm sure a shitload of people out there will gladly have sex with this guy. I mean look at him." Kidd grabbed Law by his chin, earning a snarl from the wounded demon. "Even you have to admit he's pretty hot."
"You're just talking like this because it has spread its pheromones everywhere in this room." Smoker said.
"Sorry to disappoint, but apparently I can resist his voodoo love-spell."
The hunter sighed. "I'm not letting it go because you want to fuck it. An incubus is dangerous."
"How is he dangerous? He isn't going to rape someone if he works in a fucking brothel." Kidd sneered. He tried not to remember his undignified encounter with the incubus who did kiss him in his sleep. "Besides, he is only up for hugs and kisses. He is probably the only demon who wants to stay virgin."
"Just shut up, Mister Eustass. Just shut up." Law groaned. His wound must be more severe than he let on because it was still bleeding. Kidd could see the demon was wincing at every word he spoke. "I'm not… going to die a fucking virgin."
"You will be if you keep talking." Kidd said and glanced up at the hunter. "He isn't going to hurt anyone."
"Your little boyfriend might not but other demons will." Smoker said. "It's mating season for the demons. They smell this fellow from miles away and they are coming here to find him. These demons aren't going to wait in line to fuck him. They are going to have a big party here while they wait. Who do you think will suffer a demon infestation? Do you want Grand Line to turn into hell? I don't. So that's why I'm going to exterminate it before it attracts anymore demons."
Kidd gulped. The hunter's words made perfect sense. Yet he couldn't bring himself to want Trafalgar Law dead. The demon might be a pain in the ass but he was quite likeable. Hell even Kureha liked him.
"You're a demon hunter. Don't you have any demon repellant? A ward?"
"I do. But why should I use it on a demon when I can just kill it?" Smoker snorted.
Kidd tucked Law against a wall and stood up to face the hunter.
"I'm not going to let you kill him." He said, shrugging his black fur coat off.
"Mister Eustass…" Law blinked at him, surprised.
Smoker eyed him with disinterest. "You won't win."
"Try me."
Kidd attacked first, hoping to have the element of surprise on his side, but Smoker seemed to anticipate his move and dodged accordingly. Fighting in a small room with dangerous splinters of furniture everywhere revoked his old nostalgia of fighting in narrow back alleys years ago when he was a rookie street fighter. The raw sense of survival that was dull over the years made his attacks slower but his strength had made up for it.
Unlike the fight between Law and Smoker, they exchanged blows with their body. After two minutes fighting Smoker, Kidd was sure his body would be black and blue by tomorrow morning. It stung. Smoker on the other hand seemed unaffected by his punches. In fact, his punches didn't feel that they landed even though he did punch him. It felt so bizarre. It was like fighting a hologram or something.
Finally, Kidd decided to resort to weaponry seeing Smoker had changed back to using his jutte. Kidd pulled out the dagger he kept in his belt. He was tempted to use the pistol but it seemed underhanded. Smoker attacked. His jutte smashed the bed in halves the second Kidd rolled over it. Goddammit, the hunter was damn strong. In fact, his strength almost rivaled Law's when the incubus sent him flying a few steps back during their friendly spar.
"Oi, are you secretly a demon or what?" Kidd snarled.
"He is hiding something. Attack him again." Law grunted, his breathing quick and heavy. Kidd carefully moved towards the demon while keeping his eyes on the hunter.
"What do you mean?"
"I have an idea but I need you to confirm it." Law said.
With a nod, Kidd attacked. His blade sliced Smoker's coat just as the hunter leaped out of danger. If he hadn't, his dagger would have cut flesh. Kidd didn't give the man any time to ready himself as he launched a series of attacks.
"I knew it." Law murmured when Kidd and Smoker parted their blows and now stood on the different ends of the room. "He has demonic power."
"He is a demon?" Kidd asked.
"Not exactly." Law forced himself up while his hand still pressed on his closing wound. "Mister Smoker, you know what I am referring to, right?"
The hunter remained unresponsive.
"Oi, spill it, asshole." Kidd snapped.
"Your attack won't work on him, Mister Eustass."
Rolling his eyes, Kidd gave Law a stern look. "You totally ruin my ego."
"He is not an opponent you can handle right now." Law said and turned to Smoker. "You don't have to hide your ability anymore. I know what you are."
Smoker sighed, puffing his smoke. "You shitty little demon, you don't tell me what to do."
"I'm curious. Where did you get it?"
"None of your business." Smoker answered as he walked up to Law, ignoring Kidd again. "Why don't you do me a favor and die?"
"Can't do that, mister Smoker. Mister Eustass will be very sad if I die. Many people will be sad, actually. I made quite a few friends here. Humans are so trusting." Law grinned.
"What the hell is going on?" Kidd shouted. "Don't you fucking ignore me or I will kill you both!"
"Mister Smoker, why don't you show Mister Eustass your ability? He is getting quite cranky."
"Shut up, you demon spawn."
"Watch this, Mister Eustass." Law said and punched Smoker in the stomach… except his arm went through the hunter like cotton candy.
"Oh shit!" Kidd gaped. "What the fuck!"
"He is a logia user. Do you like my arm in you?" Law purred into Smoker's ear. The hunter merely grunted and backed away, pulling the demon's arm out of his body.
"You are disgusting."
"Your arm just fucking went through him!" Kidd walked up to them in a few strides. He was so shocked he completely dropped his cool. "Explain what's going on!"
"Mister Smoker ate a special fruit and gained super power. He can turn himself into smoke." Law explained. "You won't be able to injure him. He is quite special."
"Are you a demon?" Kidd asked Smoker who sent him a hateful glare. "Alright, human then." He sneered.
"What am I suppose to do now?" Law teased with a wide smirk. Seriously, he looked way too calm for someone who was about to get killed by an invincible super human. "Aren't you going to rescue me, Mister Eustass?"
Kidd blinked. "Me? You want me to fight a guy who can turn into fucking smoke? Are you serious?"
"If you don't help me, I'm going to die."
"Well, would you rather get gangraped by a bunch of horny demons or get killed by this guy? I think you should just let him do his job."
Law pouted. "You're so mean, Mister Eustass." He turned to Smoker. "If you defeat my… master, I won't resist you." He said.
"I don't make deal with demons." Smoker snarled. "You aren't in any position to negotiate terms with me."
"You don't know who you are up against." Law's grin widened. "If you think I'm just a weak incubus then you will be up for a big surprise."
"You went down after one blow." Kidd snorted.
"I was off guard. But it won't happen again." Law said. "I can easily disappear from here if I wish. But I don't want to miss out this entertainment."
"You fucking masochist." Kidd said.
"Are you chicken out? Did Mister Big Bad Smoker scare you?" Law teased. "All you need is distract him a little for me to work my magic. Don't tell me you're having jelly legs right now."
Kidd wished he could just shove the dagger up the incubus's ass. He knew Law was provoking him yet he couldn't help but want to prove him wrong. He wasn't scared of the hunter. Just surprised by his power. That was all. Alright, he was fucking shocked that a man could turn into smoke but he wasn't going to chicken out.
He didn't exactly know how to fight the hunter though. Physical attack won't work. Tentatively, he threw his dagger at the man. As expected, the weapon went through the man. How was he supposed to fight a man who could turn into smoke? Maybe he should open the window and air him out. He didn't know what on earth could destroy smoke. Such a troublesome ability. The man was nearly an invincible opponent. If only he had power too. He wouldn't be standing there looking like an idiot, thinking about 'if only'. He would be fighting with the hunter like the gangster overlord of South Blue he used to be. What had happened to him? Why was he so useless now? He felt pathetic. And it pissed him off. It pissed him off so much he could feel the building shake. Maybe it was his body that was shaking. He didn't care.
"Mister Eustass," Law's voice snapped him out of whatever insane thought he was having. "You are…"
"I'm what?" He snapped back, raised his fist in frustration and froze.
He was holding something in his hand. It took him a moment to recognize his dagger. What was his dagger doing in his hand? Didn't he just throw it at the hunter? Shocked, he stared at it and back to the spot on the floor where it was supposed to be. How did it get back into his hand? He could feel his dagger's metallic core calling out to him. He could feel every single metal in the brothel. What the fuck?
"You ate the Devil Fruit too?" Smoker asked. Shock was evident on his face.
"What fruit?"
"You had it this morning, Mister Eustass." Law reminded him.
"You mean that fucking fruit that tasted like shit." Kidd scowled when Law nodded. "What's happening to me? What's a Devil Fruit?"
"You have supernatural ability now just like Mister Smoker. We grow Devil Fruits in the demon world. It gives the consumer a unique power. Mister Smoker too has eaten one though I wonder how he got one. Why did you eat it, Mister Smoker?" Law asked, turning to Smoker for answers. "For someone who hates anything demonic related, you sure are a big hypocrite."
"It wasn't my choice to eat it." Smoker snarled bitterly.
"Really?" Kidd said in a mocking tone and turned to Law. "It's funny how déjà-vu your story is, because I didn't choose to eat mine too. A fucking incubus shoved a piece of the fruit down my throat this morning. Homemade dessert my ass!"
"I did what was necessary. I know demons are coming after me. I can't fight them off alone. I need you and with your pathetic human strength… something had to be done." Law explained. "Why are you complaining anyway? You got super power."
"I'm good." Kidd smirked. "Are you telling me my power is related to magnetism?"
"It seems to be the case," Law nodded. "Careful with the tip of his jutte."
"Why? I thought it affects demon only?"
"It destroys anything demonic. Of course, Mister Smoker is also susceptible to his own weapon. All three of us are."
"And it didn't occur to you to tell me this earlier? I could have been touched by the tip during the fight and die." Kidd snapped.
"I trust you not to die so easily."
"That's a good answer." Kidd grinned and turned to the hunter. "Let's try this out."
"Your ability can't defeat mine." Smoker said, facing Kidd with his back against Law.
"He may not. But I will." Law snaked an arm around Smoker's neck while he placed his other hand on his broad back.
"You demon," Smoker snarled and turned his jutte such that the tip was thrusting backward at Law.
"Mes." The incubus said.
Kidd watched everything turned in slow motion. He watched as a red cube popped out of the hunter's chest onto the floor, landing with a wet splat. He watched the hunter gasped and went down.
"That went well." Law said as he squatted down next to Smoker after he picked up the strange red cube from the floor. "Thanks Mister Eustass for distracting this man long enough for me to heal. You were very helpful."
"Is he dead?"
"No, he is quite alive." Law turned Smoker onto his back. The hunter was gasping with his hand over his chest. His eyes were clouded in pain. "I told you that you will be in a lot of pain if you try to bully me."
"What did you do?" Kidd asked. He would be kidding himself if he wasn't worried. What the fuck did the incubus do? Was he really that powerful? What the hell was he getting himself into?
Law looked at him smugly and lifted his hand up high. In his palm, the red cube was thumping.
"I simply stole his heart."
To be Continued...
*Mes is a technique of the Ope Ope no Mi that Law used on Smoker, causing his heart to fly out of the body in the manga.
How do you like it? At first I wasn't too sure if I want to give Law his Devil Fruit power since it's kinda like a cheat code. He is waaayyy too powerful. Kidd must be secretly pissing himself. Ok bad image... out. Personally, I am still baffled by my own fic. The characters are so slutty. LOL. (=3 _3=) Well, I sure aint complaining. The sluttier Law is... the better. It makes it a challenge for Kidd to keep his libido tame. *Wink*
I confess I'm very naughty when I let Law take Smoker's heart... except hotness soon... SOON! Sexy slave!Smoker is so tempting... I'm grinning as like asshole here. Poor Smoker... poor guy, seriously. Should I make Kidd jealous? Tell me! I must know!
