Chapter 1

This feeling was completely foreign, here Kid was, lying in a large bath filled with warm water, having the dirt that caked him cleaned off which was a relief. He had forgotten the proper colour of his skin, the dirt now revealing his pale skin, which he was sure got worse during his months underground.

He was getting tempted to cover himself back up, it looked too out-of-place now but he pressed on, trying to make the most of his bath which was quickly turning mucky. He couldn't care any less, a bath was a bath and he hadn't had one in a long time. The only time they had been given a chance to clean up was for inspections, where they were thrown into a cold shower room altogether for a couple of minutes before being dragged back out.

Kid was starting to feel a sharp pain though in his hands, his nails were damaged badly, cracked and broken which left him picking at them sometimes during his bath. He couldn't help it, some parts were peeling off, adding to the sting in his hands which made him poke and prod at the nails.

"Don't pick at them."

Kid scowled, looking up to see the Captain entering the bathroom with some clothes. "Ever knock?"

Law just smiled pleasantly. "Why? We're all men here."

"That's not the point asshole!" Kid scowled, trying to see if there was anything nearby to cover himself with and unfortunately for him, it failed.

The fluffy towels were at the other side of the bathroom and Law looked all too amused at the situation.

"Don't worry Eustass-ya, I won't laugh at you." He heard, making him growl lowly.

"There ain't no reason to laugh in the first place bastard."

"Then you won't mind stepping out your bath. The water is completely dirty now anyway so you should be properly cleaned." Law pointed out, smirking lightly as he placed the clothes down beside the towels.

"Perverted bastard." Kid scowled, but made sure to keep himself turned away from the Captain as he got up, stepping down lightly on the tiled floors.

"There's no point hiding Eustass-ya. I have to do an examination of you anyway."

Kid choked, and felt his feet slip on the floor, still wet from the baths waters making him stumble, while falling backwards though he felt a pair of hands grab underneath his arms, keeping him up.

"You nearly knocked your head off the bath Eustass-ya, some assassin you are." He heard Law snort. "Did he really pick the right person for the tournament?"

"What the fuck do you mean an examination?!" Kid seethed, glaring up at the Captain. "I'd need a fucking doctor for that and I don't even need checked over bastard!"

Law lightly frowned at him. "Don't be a child. You've been rotting in those mines for a year Eustass-ya, there are bound to be problems with your health at the moment. I need to know what your body is capable of."

"And then why are you doing it?!"

Law hummed, this man was so easily wound up, it was amusing. "I've had training so stop fretting Eustass-ya."

Law noticed the redhead pause in his rant, confused. "Eh? Why would a guard Captain have medical training?"

"Most do, just not at such a depth mine is at." Law pointed out lightly, he could feel how light weighted the assassin was, dangerously so, since he was still easily holding the taller man up from the floor. "Now, shouldn't we get you dried off?"

Kid seemed to pause again and look over himself, yelping when he noticed how spread open he had left himself. Law couldn't resist chuckling when the assassin leapt from his arms to turn his back to him, Law even swore he saw a blush.

"How cute Eustass-ya. Now get dried off so I can properly examine you." Law ordered casually, earning a glare but he thankfully obeyed, probably still embarrassed.

Kid slowly dried himself off, wanting to try and delay this so that the bastard would change his mind. What the hell? Examining him, the Captain must be crazy if he thought he'd be willing to put up with this. He'd surprise him and make his escape, even if he had to run about naked.

The assassin, once mostly dried suddenly darted round, aiming his fist at Law's chest but suddenly he felt his wrist being grabbed and his feet slipping against from beneath him. He landed face first, groaning as a pressure rested on his back and his arm was twisted behind him.

"Done with your tantrum?"

"I am gonna murder you bastard!" Kid snapped, wincing as his arm twisted up further. "Fucking hell stop!"

"Then don't try that again. Or I might just start hurting you." Law warned, releasing his grip but staying on his back. "So is that you done drying off?"

"...Yeah..." The redhead groaned out, reluctant for what was now going to happen.


This actually wasn't so bad, first Law had taken his weight and height measurements. Then Law had pulled out a sheet, most of it filled in, Kid tried to take a peek at the blank bit, but couldn't see it making him scowl, unsure what the crazy wannabe Doctor was going to do.

"It's a lifestyle questionnaire, used to help me calculate out a patient's health. I've filled out most of your lifestyle from the ground's inspections, the only one left is sexual history-"

"Why do you want to know about that?!"

"Don't be a big baby Eustass-ya. It's apart of the health exam." Okay, so maybe Law was having a bit too much fun with this and being a bit off professionalism, but Eustass' reactions were adorable.

"Quack doctor." Kid scowled, crossing his arms.

Law smirked, glancing at the sheet. "So how many sexual partners have you had in the past few months?"

Kid scowled. "Well there was that asshole. That bastard Sketchmen, I think I had a concussion at the time so I can hardly remember it." Then he looked pondering again. "There was that cowardly bastard a few weeks ago, killed him afterwards."

"Unsatisfactory for you?" Law raised an eyebrow.

"He kept screaming about wanting to leave and broke down crying. It was pissing me off." Kid snorted. "He even asked me to protect him from the guards, hm and speaking of which there was that one guard. Heard he left though, Drake or something? Think he was drunk."

Law chuckled. "You may meet him again. I heard he might just be in the tournament, though that was before he left."

"Oh and there was this hot bitch, she was a sadist. Kept whipping everyone, Sadi or something?"

"Ah, Sadi-chan, I'm surprised she would be down here, normally she's stationed at Impel Down." Law murmured, looking a bit puzzled. "I'm also surprised you had sex with her."

"It was when I was tormenting that cowardly bastard, she got aroused by his screaming or some shit." Kid shrugged. "From what I remember it was a good night."

"You know I only asked how many people you shared a sexual relationship with, not who they were." Law pointed out, earning a grin.

"What's wrong? I thought you would enjoy listening to it."

The Captain rolled his eyes, snorting. "I believe you take me for some kind of pervert Eustass-ya."

"Asking me these questions makes you sound like one, quack doctor."

Law rolled his eyes. "Are you really that uncomfortable? You were just telling me all about your relationships."

Kid chuckled, oh he could go into a lot more detail but wouldn't even dare with this asshole. "Not all of them. Nor in great detail."

"I'm not sure if I should concerned or not."

"Don't fret Captain, we had a good time."

"Except your 'cowardly' partner." Law hummed, moving to the next question, okay, so it was about what kind of protection they used but Law was in the mood to torment someone. "So, was this all at night or were you in the showers?"

Kid choked, glaring sharply at him, and the blush was back. "Why do you need to know about that?!"

"For your health of course." Law smiled sweetly, it was amusing to embarrass the feared assassin of the South, his blush was as red as his hair. "What kind of doctor would I be if I didn't make sure your health was the best it could be? There could be diseases lingering in certain areas, especially in the bathing rooms."

"You're bullshitting me aren't you?!"

Law smirked. "Why yes, yes I am."

Kid paused for a moment, not having registered the answer it seems. "Fine then- Wait what?! You son of a bitch!"

"Okay better question, top or bottom?"

"FUCK YOU!"

"I'll say top then."


Kid had dressed himself in the clothes Law provided for him, the fucking Captain had ran away when Kid had started chucking things at him, chuckling loudly when he escaped. Kid would have went after him, but he had been naked and by the time he dressed the Captain was long gone.

He straightened out his shirt, the fabric was foreign to him, not having any holes, nor was it caked in dirt and tearing to shreds. He felt the need to tear it off, it felt too off for him but before he could the door to his room open up again, in the mirror he saw Law approaching, making him scowl.

"What the fuck do you want?"

"Language Eustass-ya, besides I've brought nail polish for your nails." Kid noticed Law shaking a tiny vial in his hand.

"Nail polish?" Kid blinked, what the heck was that for?

"Your nails are chipping and broken badly. You're lucky you aren't bleeding at all. I'll have to try and trim them back but it will be sore."

"Okay, but I still don't get the polish."

"It will keep you from picking at them, the polish should smooth them over and keep them pressed against your skin. I will keep treating them everyday to fully repair your nails again but it might take time."

Kid sighed, holding out his hands. "Fine, let's see you work 'doctor'."

Kid was surprised how patient he was, the trimming was sore, especially on his fingers, smaller pieces chipped off much to his frustration but cutting them down lessened the risk of Kid losing a nail since they were so weak. Law told him to let them breathe for a while and ended up coming back later, sitting down on his bed while Kid sat on the floor, grumbling in boredom, his hand felt comfortable though sitting on Law's lap, being carefully painted over.

Kid didn't bother moving, just quietly watched as Law worked on his fingers. Law noticed his quiet demeanour and though he didn't want to interrupt it, he decided he would have to. "You will need to get new clothes soon. We only have a couple about your size, though we should come across a few villages, maybe even larger towns where we can get some clothes for you."

"You picking for me?" Kid frowned, he didn't trust this guy's fashion sense, that fluffy hat for starters.

"You can pick yourself if you want, just don't spend too much of my money."

Kid blinked, surprised. "Eh? 'You're money'?"

"Who else here would pay for you?" He noticed Law raise an eyebrow at him but... Still he could wait until they were at the palace, he could let him suffer in grotty clothes but instead is choosing to use his money to pay for him?

Kid smirked, he wasn't going to get sentimental for this guy. "Heh, I'll make sure you go bankrupt asshole."

Law looked amused. "I'm sure I'll find a way to make you pay me back."


The pair headed outside after Kid was finished cleaning up and Kid made sure to ignore all the prisoners. They weren't of any interest, he either bet the crap out of most of them or he fucked the others, well Sketchmen was one of the ones were he fucked and fought him, he was interesting at least but a fucking pest so there was no regret leaving his ass behind.

He and the Captain soon arrived at the prison's front where a caravan of horses were lined up orderly, he guessed all these guys were heading with them to Dressrosa castle, considering the banners. A brunette wearing a pair of shaded glasses soon caught his eye since he was wondering towards them, bringing along two horses with him and with a scowl of shoved the rope into Kid's hand, what the? Who the hell was this guy? Then the asshole smiled brightly at Law, handing the horse's reign to him. While Law turned his attention to his horse the brunette whirled around, glaring dangerously at Kid, too bad in his eyes that this guard looked as dangerous as a newborn puppy.

"You don't deserve to be watched by him. He must hate it. Your presence everywhere with him." He hissed darkly. "You do anything to upset my Captain and I'll make sure you'll regret it."

Out of the corner of his eye he spotted a white haired man approach Law, smiling gently, he then noticed the Captain smile back, that smile wasn't his normal one... What the hec-

Then he felt a hand grab the collar of his shirt, dragging his attention back to the puppy. "I swear, you do anything to the Captain I'll end you!" The brunette barked quietly.

Kid just waved him off, not bothering to get into a big fight about it. "Get lost, you should be more worrying about yourself at this rate."

"Oh-" He tried to snarl but it seemed they regained Law's attention.

"Something wrong Shachi?" Law asked, amusement glinting in his eyes.

'Shachi' seemed dazzled by the smile the Captain offered him, shaking his head meekly, he even released Kid's shirt who raised an brow, confused. "No of course not Captain. Actually I was just about to ask you if you wanted me to watch him? He'll never escape my eyes!"

The white haired giant then spoke up, looking alarmed but determined. "Captain I can watch him too! You can just relax on the journey back to the castle! We'll take care of it!"

"Of course! Bepo and I will both watch him! We'll never take our eyes off him!"

Kid smirked, well won't they now? "So I can't even take a shit by myself huh?"

"If that's what it takes to let the Captain relax then yes!" Shachi snapped, nobody noticed the tortured groan from Penguin nearby.

"Shachi, I'm not sure I want to watch him do the toilet." 'Bepo' frowned, looking torn between Law and Shachi.

"C'mon Bepo! It's to help the Captain!"

Then Kid remembered that Law's men seemed to be fascinated by him, they seemed to only live and breathe for for the Captain. Was it intentional perhaps? Maybe Law bribed them to make himself look good or-

Then Kid paused, noticing the looks Law was being given, the desperate looks of those who wanted to please, several calls being shouted out to be the ones to keep watch over him so that their Captain didn't have to worry and could relax.

He was amazed to see the fond smile he threw them all, not that smug one that made Kidd want to strangle him half the time or the insincere one where he didn't know what he had planned.

"I can handle it. Don't worry." Law chuckled, earning squeals from his subordinates.

"Captain's so cool!"

Kid fought the urge to groan, how pathetic where these guards?


For a while now Eustass had been asking as many questions as possible, Law wasn't even sure if he realised that he was deliberately keeping him in the dark with his insane prodding. No matter how he acted Law remembered what Eustass was and still is, an dangerous assassin and they had to take precautions to keep themselves safe, such as cuffing his wrists to his saddle while the reigns were attached to Law's horse.

"Oi Trafalgar, stop ignoring me asshole." He spotted Eustass scowling at him, it seemed he gave up on playing with the cuffs on his wrists and was now set on glaring at the nearest person.

Which, unfortunately was Law, though since the second closet person was Bepo, Law found that he didn't mind as much anymore.

"My apologizes Eustass-ya. I just got bored listening to you."

"What? You want me to talk about my sex life again?" Eustass' only expression right now seemed to be scowling, but to Law's amusement he could see a tint of red on his cheeks, before he could comment on it though a certain someone yelled.

"WHAT?!" Shachi seemed to just pop out of nowhere, suddenly beside Eustass' horse, glaring darkly at him, Law wasn't even sure what was wrong with him. "How dare you tell the Captain about your sex life!"

Oh, so that's what's wrong. Obviously Shachi felt left out.

With a smirk Law glanced over at his subordinate. "Yes, he was telling me about the people he fucked in the showers. Some obviously didn't please him since he killed them afterwards." Law ignored Eustass's squawking from his horse. "He even managed to get a few guards, one of them was rough and violent with him, especially with the whip-"

"YOU DIRTY ANIMAL!"

Law had to bite his lip to stop himself from laughing as Shachi began to berate Eustass and nearly caved in when Penguin literally had to restrain the brunette from jumping Eustass, meanwhile the redhead was as bright as his hair, glaring darkly at Law.

This trip was going to be fun.

So to any reviews I couldn't reply to I've decided to reply to them here:

Putting this out there, but by chance have you read 'Throne of Glass' by Sarah J Maas?

No, that's my first time hearing of it, it sounds like it has something to do with Game of Thrones series, is it an add on? And is it good? (If not I apologize, I love the Game of Thrones series, I can't wait until the next Season comes out.)

yoi
cool. I like it

Thank you, I hope you will continue to enjoy the story.
