CHAPTER 6

ONE STEP CLOSER TO YOU

After receive their Golden Dragon Bowl trophy, Medal Honor and certificates, they was busy interviewed with countless live news press and magazine's reporters. Some of them keep asking if Law really okay with his wounded shoulder, Law only note it as 'nothing to be worried about'.

Zoro sits at the last corner, beside Law. Mihawk, Ryuma, Koshiro and Vergo also seat in line with them. The table full with various kind of microphones and recorder devices. The Golden Dragon Bowl were stand in front of Ryuma and Koshiro.

The countless flash from cameras blinking, flashing like a enticing disco lamp, attacking those six superior figures.

Zoro steal a few glances to Mihawk. Then Ryuma who sit at the center, glares his strict warning to Zoro. Because Ryuma already sensed what Zoro is trying to pick up. Zoro halts, completely stop his intentions. 'Later.'

Zoro can't wait for any minutes, the questions that he collect from Luffy in his head keep throbbing his head. Zoro eyeing Law, glares on that man's lean neck, then to Law's hair and end his eyes wonders on Law's 2 pair of silver earrings. Zoro's fingers twitching, wanting to touch it badly.

What kind of Doctor who wear such a bold thing..?

And last, Zoro's eyes stares on the thick bandaged that wrapped on Law's left shoulder. It look bad. Zoro gulped his own saliva. He cursed himself in his head. That views disfiguring his sight.

Zoro kick softly his leg to Law's feet. Zoro whispers called to Law while Ryuma, Mihawk and Vergo busy answering to the Live press interviewers.

"Trafalgar."

"Yes, Roronoa-ya?"

Law's voices sounds like a men's most sexy purr, answering the unexpected call from his rival. Law turns his head, facing Zoro beside him. Law still keep his smiles, while Law's stormy grey and smokey pair of eyes seems shot a flirting beam to Zoro.

Zoro's eyes catch the unfamiliar sweetness in Law's smile. 'Damn, that look nasty, Trafalgar. Please, stop your shit please.' Zoro's heart throbbing with something he didn't realize what is it, and the throbbed felt flows down to his balls sac. It fucking bothers him.

Zoro cleared his throat; try to cover the uneasiness feeling on his sensitive Kintama (golden ball).

"Ehm.. I.. Just now.. Gossip about you, with my friend."

Zoro throw his thumb to where Luffy sits. But Zoro's eyes still lock on Law's face. Law's eyes catch to where Zoro throw his thumb to. Law's sexy eyebrows rose, acknowledging that he understand what Zoro tried to show him.

Zoro's friend. A babyface boy in high school costumes wearing Mugiwara. Luffy smiles widely to both of the young pair of swordsman. Luffy leaning his back on the wall behind him, folding both of his hands and standing behind the crowds of cameraman, reporters and press-man.

'So this Roronoa are ready to introduce his friend to me..?' Law straightens his back.

"Oh? Did I attract you guys that much? Ah, thank you, I assume."

Law smirks creepily wide, happy began flowering his hearts. Damn, he weak to compliments. No, he LOVEs it. Happy that finally this Roronoa has started his talks with Law's name in it. Law always dream for it. That show how fabulous he is. 'Hmm~'

"Not really."

Zoro snort disgustingly. Law face's drop, darkened. Law's body withered its bending lazily like a dead flower. Law's dancing flowers around him shattered to pieces, like a broken mirror. Law sighs.

"So that guy wearing strawhat with insanely goofy grins is your.. Bestfriend. I see. Nice to meet you guys. It's must be good to have someone so closer to talk with, everyday.."

Zoro noticed a sadden tones in Law's breathe. 'Is he a loner..? Then what his other friends for him..? So Vergo-guy did never mention Luffy in front of this Trafalgar.' Zoro remembering the trio that always seen with Law. 'Maybe they are not as how Luffy care for me.' Zoro happy he got Luffy on his side.

"Yeah. He is my Best. But he is stupid and annoying."

'And big trouble little monster.' Add Zoro secretly, complaint about Luffy's behavior related to fight and foods. Law didn't hear about it.

"Heheh is he..? But I like how he child-like cheers to you during our fight about to start..."

"T-That..! Shut up it's embarrassing! He's just plain stupid."

"Funny. I wonder how the strict person like you manage to make friend to a childish like him.. Is that only based on stupidity..."

"Oi Trafalgar. I tell you now. Don't. Ever. Look down. On. Him."

Zoro's snarls, his voices warning.

"Hnh.. Sorry. Possessive friend, are you?"

Law straighten his back, rise both his hand which the palms facing Zoro, surrender with instant sorry. 'I get it. No one can call your friend stupid, but only YOU can. Heheh how cute.' Law smirks, again.

"Not that."

Zoro denied Law's mind wonders in sudden.

"You're weird. Is he also a Kendo fighter..? Mind if I tested his swordsmanship, Roronoa-ya?"

"You're just seek for death, Trafalgar."

Another warning growls coming from Zoro's throat. Indeed, Law didn't ever know who exactly Luffy is. No, most of the people didn't know, and Zoro never mind about it. Zoro never care if they want to talk shit about Luffy's strength ability. Because Luffy himself never got mad about it.

The warning is for Law's own safety, actually. Law just didn't realize it, the care-ness that Zoro already placed on Law silently.

Zoro just want this new-found-as-interesting-man Trafalgar aware about his carelessness if look down on someone, or strangers.

"Why so mad, Roronoa-ya..?"

"I'm not. Luffy doesn't know 'bout swords."

"So he..."

"..But He can cut your head easily."

"What. Nonsense.. I don't understand, Roronoa-ya."

"Luffy is ten times STRONGER than me."

"! ! !"

"And I AM stronger than you.. Trafalgar."

"Don't big talks just because you take me down today, Roronoa-ya."

Law deep tone, annoyed. But he didn't deny the fact that Zoro IS stronger than him, although Zoro is younger than him. 'A green leaf beans already become a big tree.. But it's too early. Young kids this day'.

Law see Zoro as he himself older than Zoro like 50 years old man. Imagining Zoro is a kid that know only a little about this wicked World. It's only because Law didn't like it how Zoro look down on Law. It's mocking him.

Even Zoro didn't know Law himself still a dangerous stranger to Zoro himself. 'Brat'.

Sadly, Law's thought missed altogether. Zoro is not look down on Law. The Marimo only tried to give an advice to the Doctor. But the advice sounds like a mocking order to Law's ears. And Law hates orders, especially from kid.

Zoro can feel dark aura spraying around Law. 'Oh? He is angry. Touché'. Zoro cross his hands, folding it.

"Actually.. I really planning on make you paralyzed for the rest of your life, Trafalgar. I would be happy if you fall coma after got hit though.."

"! ! ! !"

Zoro smirks evilly, pour the oil on burning fire. Law stunned, he didn't believe what he heard. The veins that popped on his head, burst the blood from it. Law trembled in furious. 'So this guy really got balls'. Law about to argue Zoro's blackmail, then Zoro continue.

"But you seems.. Manage to withstand my attacks and revive shortly.."

Zoro face frowns. How he didn't happy about Law's good condition. Law catch the disappointing fells that coiling in Zoro's mind, disappointed that Law able to bear and broke Zoro's attack. Slowly, Law's lips began smirks creepily again, wide and wider.

"I.. Ah.. What compliment. Thank you, maybe."

Law take a long deep breathe. His fire vanished in a blink of eyes after heard such a heart contents compliment. 'Damn, he knew the good way to praise me. Trickster brat.' Law had a faint pinky blush on his tanned cheeks, Zoro can feels the dark aura around Law changing to blooming flowers floating happily again.

'I see. Look, weird guy is weak to compliments. Crazy mentalism Doctor.' Zoro snort. Now he got the right time to ask Law the main point of this not-so-no-need-to-whisper thing. All the questions before just for fishing out this man's interest in conversations. Zoro happy that Law stuck on his bait.

"So. Tell me."

"? ! !"

"Did you used some kind of drugs?"

Law stunned, again. The blooming flowers aura around him pops and vanished instantly. He stares on Zoro's face. He didn't believe his ears that this man question him something like that. Wait. This damn 'KID'.

They stare each other, didn't even blinking. Zoro's face and Law's, both is so serious. Slowly, Law broke his seriousness with bursting out his manly laugh. Zoro halts.

"HAHAH Roronoa-ya... HAHAH ahh HAH ! !"

Luckily, right now all the people in the room busy cheers loudly on something what Mihawk and Ryuma had said. So Law's laugh didn't sounds weird or bothers them. Zoro surprised that Law didn't slap his face or getting mad or whatever. Did he ask stupid questions?

"You did?!"

"No, I'm pretty clean."

Law shrugs, shaking his head denying Zoro's outburst unexpected question. Law tried his best to cover the leftover from his laugh. Zoro disappointed.

"Damn, we think that you are on drugs."

Zoro hits his own palm with his right fist, smashing his disappointment.

"Heheh 'We'..? You mean you and that Mugiwara-wearing-boy..? You guys are damn funny. So amusing! Heheh hmm.. High school's brain is pretty interesting. Innocent, I like that. I like you guys."

"Oi Trafalgar. You did make fun of us! Che'. I don't think 'drug' is something innocent related thing to begin with."

"No, Roronoa-ya.. Honestly. Heheh. Did you think because I AM a doctor and my family having our own hospital so we can used drugs as we pleased..? And having an allowed specialist drug producer make us allowed to used drug easily? Oh come on.."

"Kinda."

Zoro's face deathly serious.

Law blurt out his manly laugh, again, in the middle of live press interview.

Vergo halts, his explanation to the pressman paused. Ryuma and Mihawk eyeing both of the rookies, they both sigh in unison.

"Brats, will be brats."

Vergo glare on his suddenly-laught-like-senile-man brother. Is Law laught on his words? Vergo eyebrow twitches. Law realized his wrong doing in the wrong time. His face flushed in pink blush, embarrassed.

"S-Sorry, Nii-san. Roronoa-ya ask me something.."

Law sulking, blaming the matter to the certain expressionless of green haired teenager beside Law. Narrator; No, Law. That's your own fault. Face it.

"Hmph."

Vergo took the blind excuses and let the matter gone just like that. He didn't really want to argue more with his dear wounded brother. Just let Law had his fun or something by himself. Because Vergo never know good way how to convince his lil' brother after lose from the Kendo International battle that Law love so much. But Vergo knows Law already take it as a man, didn't he?

Vergo continued his talks with pressman, while Law trying to control his breathe, cover the embarrassment that took over his face with his cool gestures.

Zoro sensing Law's nervous air pressures around him after heard Ryuma and Mihawk's sarcastic sigh. 'Serve you right, Trafalgar. HA HA.' But Zoro still clueless what so funny about his question that make Law laugh like that. 'Creepy weird bastard.'

Zoro still wait for the answer. For the last time if this insolent Doctor laughs on him again, Zoro promises will grab on that wounded shoulder and broke it off completely from its socket.

"Heheh! Ah... Roronoa-ya. I'm really interest, if out there has kind of drugs other than anesthetists that can prevent YOUR killing attack from works to bodies. Tell me so I can do my research on it, then I'll facing you again."

"What research? I don't know actually are you make fun of me or praised me. Thank you, you damn twist bastard."

"Heheh. You're most welcome, Roronoa-ya.."

"Wait.. But you sounds like you make fun of yourself.. Seriously! You need drug to facing me? Nerd."

Zoro snorted in amusing on his last words to Law.

"Oi... Come on, Roronoa-ya.. It's just a joke, a joke..! Don't spin it."

"Hn. High school's brain did 'interesting', did I..?"

". . . . . ."

"See? I am stronger. I don't big talks."

"Whatever."

"..-gar. Hei, Tra – fal – gar - Law."

Vergo calling Law's name repeatedly that he is going to shout at his non-pro brother during Live interviews. Vergo warn in deep, soft but stern voices. Again, Vergo stares madly at innocent-less-I don't care-whatever-expressions of Zoro and the startled Law.

"Yes, Nii-san. I'm sorry. W-What is it..?"

"Answer that woman's questions."

Vergo's order. The one killing orders.

"-right. Alright, Nii-san."

Law take a deep breath and smile. He look at the said woman reporter from xxx television station. That woman reporter also smile to Law, sweetly. But her eyes that scares him. Full of lust. 'Please don't start it, woman.' Law can't help but need to keep the smile. Or smirk.

"Sorry Ma'am. Please repeat the question?"

"It's okay, Law-san. So, what about your planning after this tournament? Are you interest in joining the forces in Police Department just like Vergo-san or still as Doctor and Surgeon, hiring your father's Hospital as next Heir of Trafalgar..? Is it true that all newcomer-doctor were trained under you at Dressrosa Private Medical University, Law-san?"

"It's.. I grateful I have caring older brother that always take care of me. Thank you to him, I can be myself today. Police.. It sounds good, but I love my profession as Doctor and Surgeon. It's true, medical students placed under me in surgeon scope. And.. If there's any chance I want to build my own Hospital just like my father. I adore him as my icon since I was little so I want to build myself from below and challenge myself, being great just like him. Thank you."

Zoro titled his right eyebrow. The words of wanting to build own Hospital catch Zoro's interest. 'Got yourself a big dream, Trafalgar.. Interesting.' Zoro smiles.

Vergo nods his head, liking how Law thanking him.

Ryuma and Mihawk only silence. A young doctor with sword as scalpel sounds good. Adding the variety in this swordsmanship field, Ryuma smile.

"That was really, really, really great, Law-san. You're just in your 20 but already achieving the rank of superior in Medical arena, Law-san. Adding with swordsmanship, you're perfect icon for the teenagers."

The woman reporter praising Law's coolness.

"Thank you. I appreciate it, Ma'am."

"You're very welcome, Law-san."

That woman winks her left eye to Law. 'Whatever'. Law sigh. He waiting for another questions and answer it. Law keeps his stoic face and cool smirk, some his answers sounds sarcasm and trolling people around but still politely. But looks like people can't caught his sarcasm words.

While Zoro keep with his monstery draconic expressions and very distant to any private questions related. One male paparazzi pick up about 'Mafia's street fight' and 'Muay-Thai brawls' rumors with one Mugiwara wearing guy that Zoro always caught with. Zoro never deny it.

"It was one of my training."

Law eyes widen. Then he chuckles. 'That's why your swordsmanship rough like a brick smasher.. Roronoa-ya.'

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"...Luffy doesn't know 'bout swords."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Zoro's words echoing in Law's head. And Law wonders about Zoro doing training with people who do Boxing is really hit the score.

Is that Mugiwara no Luffy is a Boxer..? 'Interesting.'

After the Live press end, Zoro suddenly run for his lives.

He tried to avoid and run from his crazy and uncontrollable fangirls whom keep shouts and cries his name nonstop. He can't stand when his wild girls keep pull his cloth, touching his skin and molesting his green hair.

Some of them tried to take his Shinais, so Zoro tighten his grip on his precious child, prevent the wild zombism multiple hands from raping and kidnapping it. When Ryuma called Zoro, Zoro abruptly excuse himself and rushing to the Male Restroom.

"Damn, where are you gone, Luffy..? Save me..!"

Zoro shrugs, sighing hardly while sitting on the white toilet's bowl.

Hoping for his Sencho-Oyabin would come and shoo-ing the crazy wild boar fans that like to headbutts him.

The screams, cries and noisy shouts still could be heard outside the Male Restroom. It's havoc.

Zoro's hand busily groped inside his black kimono, rustles for something. The tiny black bottle of Japanese Sake, with one Asian Dragon's picture on the Sake's bottle label. Zoro pull off the bottle caps. Zoro drink it while his lips mouthing an insults and mumbled the cursed to no one in particular.

Law had meeting sessions with his fan clubs. They busy take candid pictures and flirting with Law. Law was shot with countless questions about his wounded shoulder's conditions. Law got tired give an answer for it, 'I'm fucking OKAY, damnit!' His brain cursed.

His patience has wearing thin after got the same questions for million times. But Law tried his best not to disappointed his fans.

Some of them asked if Law would put Zoro in the level of 'worst enemy' after Zoro hurt him that bad. Some of them show their fire of hater's potential.

Much for Law's own shock, he feels so uneasy and discomfort with that questions. Usually he would love to add the fire inside anything, but something relating to what Zoro was 'gave' to him... Law wants to accept it as the special present from this tournament.

The memorable beautiful scar.

Law doesn't want it sounds bad to ears, because Law already like this pain. It feels so special to him. Law cleared his throat and politely answers the question and wants to end it.

"I'll take this as present from my rival."

Law smile calmly, as the girls cheers on him and completely ignored the point of hated thingy.

Zoro who sits near the fan-meeting room, heard those words. Zoro just comes out from Male Restroom after make sure his crazy fans was runs to somewhere else.

Zoro sweated, chilling shivers run through his body. Law's words, that declaration sounds so wrong to his ears, and it spins 360 degrees entire whole meaning.

This is what will happen if you take so much blood from the people that secretly place their hopes on you but you replace them with mishap thingy.

In the end, either you will fall for them, or the non-stop guilt would eat you up.

Zoro already did.

Fall for Law's deathly spell, as the price for the priceless blood.

It takes about 30 minutes till the session ends. When Law's fangirls sent Law a countless flying kiss, Law reply it with his cheesy grins or chuckles or even three fingers playful salute.

All girls and bitch going crazy, screams happily and faints, again. Law didn't mind shows his laid-back character. 'Relax, must be nice', he keep inform himself.

After the session end, Law is the last one who step out from the room after all the girls was dragged out by his bodyguards.

Law walks while caresses gently on his bandaged shoulder. His face emotionless.

"Hey."

Zoro greet Law normally gentle. Law halts, and turns his gaze to the green haired teenager. Zoro standing by lean his side on wall, folding his arms, smile to Law. Again, their eye's vision crush. Law's lips carving a smile. Zoro snort, comment on Law's attitude.

"I don't know that you're flirt-type person."

"I call it fan-serving."

". . . ."

Zoro stares on Law with disbelief look. 'So this man no different like Luffy.' Zoro's right eyebrows tilting like The Rock. 'Thinking about Luffy.. Where's that brat has gone to..?!'

"Don't leave your fans starving, Roronoa-ya."

"What are you..? Personality Psychotherapy Adviser..?"

"Well.. My scope of profession is wide."

"Ah. I don't understand about working people life."

"Soon you will, kid."

Law smirks widely. Law walks, he takes a step closer to Zoro.

Zoro's face darken, glare up to Law. 'Kid?!' That words echoing in his ears. Zoro snarls.

"Are you want to taste my feet on your face..?"

"Thank you, but I love my face how they already are, Roronoa-ya. But-!"

"What again?"

"Did you also use kick in fight, Mr. Swordsman..?"

"No, but fists will do."

"Your hands full with Santoryu, how the fists can be formed?"

'Now, now. What is him now? Reporter..?! This man...' Zoro suddenly remember about what he heard earlier before their Kendo's match begins. Something about Vergo.

"There is some technique called non-sword style, Trafalgar. Your big bro didn't teach you about that?"

Zoro titled his right eyebrow, curiously. Law's eyes pupil change into smaller size.

"Vergo, he... Nevermind. Ah~ How disappointment. I think both of us are same, Roronoa-ya.. I did used kicks.."

"I can see. So your fucking long legs didn't just for show, eh Trafalgar."

Zoro said as his eyes scanning Law's long lean pair of skinny legs, hidden behind Law's long black coat. Zoro wicked smirks painted on his evil face, growls louder at the words 'Trafalgar'.

"YOU are not allowed to say that about my legs."

'Damnit, but I'm happy!' Law's inner nothing like his annoyed outer form. Law gulped knowing Zoro praised him, again, but right now in Zoro's sarcasm. 'I'm so happy, but I hate it.'

"Holds sword and do kicks.. Retard swordsman."

Zoro snorted his bitching, Law's annoyance rose that his head veins popped. That green haired brat stomped on Law's breaking thin patience.

"You bastard brat. YOU-!"

"Heiii~~ Zoro! ! Come on! ! ! ! You need to change and let's go back~~!"

Luffy calling Zoro loudly with sudden from nowhere, cutting the about-to-boil conversations between Zoro and Law. Luffy waving his hand so fast and dancing like manner-less child. Zoro relieve after seeing Luffy. Zoro grunts and face-palm, but his leg walks lazily to Luffy with heavy steps.

Law chuckles. Zoro's mouth grunts his complaint, but his legs still take that Mugiwara boy's order. 'So damn unique their friendships.' Law learns something again about Zoro's habits, silently. The one that maybe even Zoro himself didn't notice.

Law observes the Mugiwara boy's manner. He wonder, thinking about what Zoro told him before. How possibly that cheerful boy can defeat him? 'His enthusiasms, maybe'.

Law smile, and walk to his waiting group, to Penguin, Sachi and Bepo. Bepo greet his Sencho like usual. Law's eyes warily scanning the area.

"Where's Vergo..?"

"Vergo-san already take his leave early right after the Live press end, Law."

Penguin said as he and Sachi finishing his work, packing all the medic stuff. Bepo carrying a big luggage on his back. Law wanders for a while. He can't find Mihawk too. And Vergo take an early leave. 'Police HQ business..? Nevermind.'

Law took the mineral water bottle from Penguin's offer, mouthing his thanks and sits on the chair before drink it contains.

"Luffy, come on.. You're all grown up, dude. That dancing..."

"Awww~~ Zoro! I do it just for you~ Don't you like it?"

"Fuck you damnit. Not a bit."

Zoro make a disgust face, a meme un-smile rage face. Luffy's cute cheering face turns to disgustingly sulking face.

"Bleh~~! Ba~kaa Zoro. Zoro is not funny."

Luffy mumbled hate-ly as he dig, mining deeply his nose hole, searching for the disgusting black treasure. Then Luffy shaping the disgusting black clod into small ball shaped, and toss the disgusting small bomb to Zoro and run, laughing loudly. Zoro jolted in shock.

"Yuckkk SHITT..! ! Teme..! You son of..!"

Zoro's face even more rage, he run and chase after his stupid and disgusting Nakama. His silly damn Sencho.

"AHA HA HAH..! Zoro~! Let's hurry I want eat! Eat! ! I'm dying..! Mine getting' hungry~~!"

"Alright, alright! Luffy..! Go inform my father and Grandpa, then."

Zoro panting as he stop chasing after Luffy. Luffy still running and leave Zoro behind.

"Ayeee~~ Zoro! We'll wait you on car park!"

"Ah. Go, go."

Zoro shoo-ing Luffy with his lazy hand, wait till the raven haired boy lost from his vision.

Zoro turns and walk to the Men's Locker room, grab his Shinai's special wrapper and packing all his stuff.

Zoro patting one of his long Shinai, one by one and murmur something soothingly.

"Time to rest, Wado, Yubashiri.. Good work for today."

Zoro praised both of his precious Shinai.

"And you. Go sleep, you problem child. You did great today."

Zoro caresses one other Shinai a bit more hard but still gently. Only Zoro could hear how that thing purring to him. Zoro smile. The Shinai that resembles Kitetsu, the blood sucker one.

Zoro change his black Kimono cloth into Adidas black and golden colored sport jersey suit. He wraps his long three Shinais and tied them carefully on his waist with his dark green Haramaki.

The pair of little bell that tied on Wado's Shinai tsuba with red thread, tingling a beautiful soft sound. She is happy.

After make sure he packed all his stuff, Zoro walks out from the room. Audiences and visitors already leave the stadium. Less people still wanders around, not far from the stadium. Zoro yawning.

"Ahh~ what a tiring day. Damn.. Where's those guys. Can't even find the car here. So sleepy. Gonna nap.."

Zoro didn't realize he already 'lost' the right way to the car park. Right now he enters again in the battle arena of stadium. Zoro walks lazily, suddenly he heard the sounds of familiar voice, talking, chuckles and giggling not so far from his stand place.

Zoro eyes warily eyeing the surrounding and found the familiar figures. Law and his friends still didn't leave the place, take their time resting before leaving. Zoro smile. He walks to the happy groups.

Bepo noticed that incoming Demon, the demon that hurt his Sencho. Bepo's ears bend down to the back, sensing the incoming pack bundle of Dangers walks towards them.

Zoro approaching Law, who already changed his white Kendo clothes with long black and furry coat covering his bandaged shoulder, black spotted skinny blue jeans and same black spotted on white furry hat. Zoro didn't deny that young Trafalgar heir look more elegant in that attire. Zoro like the style that Law wear. Zoro stand behind Law.

"Um.. Sorry for disturbing."

Zoro started his talks. Law paused his cheer-time with his friends, turns his body to the voices. Law's friends steps a few to back when seeing Zoro's apparence. Zoro's broad muscles look more visible when he wore that sport suits.

Penguin and Sachi who is older than Zoro, feels like themselves were smaller than Zoro. Zoro's face looks so intimidating and scary for them. Well, He called 'Demon', right. Bepo already hide behind Penguin. Law smile widely as he seeing that green haired young man figure.

"Oh? You still here, Roronoa-ya. It's okay. Why?"

Zoro scratching the back of his un-itches head. Law stare on Zoro's gestures. At the moment, Luffy the Mugiwara Boy enters the stadium looking for his lost dear friend. He bet Zoro can't even find where is the car park was.

Facing Law, Zoro had an unnoticed faint blush on his face, about to say his words.

"No.. I.. The match with you was great. Thank you."

"Ah..? Yes. That was a great match with you too. Thank you."

They smiles. Luffy stare on both of them from far, watching their faces. Luffy's face between stunned and serious. Luffy understand something, its confirm it. Then Luffy grins widely, giggles.

"I see. Shishishi."

Zoro rub the head one of his Shinais that placed on his right waist, patting it with his right thumb softly.

"I was thinking.. If you really interested in train with us in our Dojo, I would be pleased to welcome you, Trafalgar."

Zoro said as his gestures sharply into Law's beautiful stormy grey eyes. His words confidently out without any shaking breathe spoiled the moment. 'Wado and Kitetsu would be glad to play with you too.' Zoro never invited any one to their Dojo beside Luffy, but this Trafalgar's ability has caught his interest.

Law's eyes rounded, he smile widely. What a richest invitation he ever had. Law re-considered having a good spar with this interesting teenager sooner or later.

"That awesome. I'll think about it, Roronoa-ya.."

The agreement was voiced out. And Zoro waited for the right time about this moment were sealed completely. Wish for their swords collide again, born out their actual rivalry and fight again without rules.

Law would be happy to learn some more about Zoro, Zoro's habits and likes, and wish for uncover the weaknesses of Zoro's deathly demonic techniques.

Luffy make sure that Zoro already finished his proper thanks, Luffy shouts loudly calling for his Zoro.

"Oiii~! ! Zoro, we're gonna late! Hurry Zoro, this way~! !"

That familiar voices echoing in the place. 'About time, Luffy..' His Sencho-Oyabin come to pick him up in right time. Zoro know it's about time to break his vision from this hypnotizing features in front of him.

"Ah, Then, see ya."

Zoro turns his back to Law, walking, approaching Luffy. His Sencho, His Boss.

"Hn."

Law smirks, rise his left hand up to his shoulder level, as reply to Zoro. 'Roronoa.. And Mugiwara.. What an interesting persons.' Law chuckles, but it sounds so dark.

Penguin watch Zoro leave out silently, he pull a long face. Penguin didn't really like that tyrant Green haired teenager. But he can't stop Law from talking to that greensome guy. Penguin didn't deny the fact that Law had a high interest to any sword user.

Penguin had known Law for long, his childhood friend. Penguin breathes out his sigh softly as Zoro's figure vanished along with that Mugiwara Boy, leaving the stadium.

Bepo watch Law from back, his Medic Captain, his Sencho, his friend. Law is smiling. The happy smiles that Bepo never seen or senses before.

Bepo's ears lift up, right now it's confidently, the wiggle from fear was shore off. Bepo didn't feel any mad or hate towards Roronoa again.

The green haired guy is really something.

To be continue...

Thank you so much for reading, I really appreciate it. Have a good day, y'all..! :D

Be happy~! Oh, and review, please. I would love to know what is it.
