Luffy was cheerful again. He decided to try talking to Nami and Usopp again but he had to attend Devil Fruit ability practice class. After telling Zoro he has to go practice his ability, Luffy left. It is mandatory for all the users to attend the special classes that pertain to their abilities. Most users were usually late but majority came early to see the new kid with the initial D.

Luffy walked in and saw that everyone's attention was on him. He took a random seat, realizing he didn't know anyone.

Is he not here yet? Luffy pouted.

Kidd walked in and stared straight at him. Luffy looked back at him until the Sir Crocodile walked in and forced Kidd to sit down somewhere.

"Well. Surprisingly almost everyone is on time. I'm guessing it's because of the new student with an interesting name." he looked at Luffy.

"Well. Today we are doin-"

Sir Crocodile's sentence was cut off by the loud opening of the door. Law walked in with his gang. He searched the room and met Luffy's gaze.

Wildly waving his hand in air, Luffy got up and shouted, "Torao!"

Everyone looked shocked and looked at Luffy and Law back and forth. Law smiled and sat right next to Luffy.

"Ahem. I suggest you pay attention."

There was total silence.

"You will be randomly paired up and are to fight until one of you is down. No, as much as I want you all dead, if your backs touch the ground, you're out. No killing or serious injury. This is to control your powers, not to let it out freely."

Sir Crocodile called out the names of the pairs. Kidd, Law, and Luffy were not paired together, much to Kidd's disappointment. Everyone got to their designated place and waited for the cue.

"Ready. Begin!"

A girl with short light blue hair with colorful short dress observed Luffy. She wasn't sure what his ability was so she had to be cautious. She tried to jab him with her sharpened hands but he dodged them like it was nothing. His agility and speed was like anything she's seen. She could sense that he was not taking this seriously and the next thing she saw was the ceiling before she could use her ability. She felt no pain however.

His head popped out of nowhere and said, "You ok?"

"Yes…"

"Alright then," he smiled.

He sat down next to her and waited for everyone to finish. No one realized he was done since his match was so quiet.

After everyone finished, Sir Crocodile said, "Not too bad. Though today neither Law nor Kidd finished first."

Law didn't seem surprised and looked at Luffy. On the other hand, Kidd was pleasantly surprised and looked at Luffy with more interest, if possible. Everyone glanced at Luffy, wondering how he finished. Unlike Law's match which usually ends with a loud scream and Kidd's fight that ends with a big BANG, his match was swift and quiet which made them fear Luffy more than ever.

Even after class was dismissed and Sir Crocodile left the room, no one moved. Kidd slowly got up and walked towards Luffy and Law.

"So you finished first, huh?" Kidd said with a smirk.

"I don't know," Luffy said with nonchalance.

"Torao! Am I sharing rooms with you?!" Luffy turned to Law and cheerfully asked.

"Who knows."

Luffy pouted at Torao's seemingly indifference. Law has been Luffy's childhood friend since they were 7 years old. Garp brought Doflamingo to the house sometimes due to work and Toraro often tagged along. Though Garp and Luffy did not like Doflamingo, Luffy had always liked Law. Initially, Law were annoyed with Luffy's spontaneity and talkativeness but grew attached to him due to his loyal and bright personality.

"What is your ability?" Kidd persistently asked.

"What's yours?"

"Magnetism."

"Rubber."

"What?!"

Law gave out a shot laugh at Kid's reaction. He had the same reaction when he heard of Luffy's powers. For Law, it was the most useless power of all. But Luffy made it into something powerful.

"Rubber as in…?"

"I stretch."

"That's it?!"

"Yeah!"

Law couldn't help but laugh. Kid looked as if he just wasted his time. Law got up and turned to Luffy.

"Let's go see if we are roomed together."

"Ok!"

Luffy jumped out of his seat and followed Law. Kid continued to look at Luffy, sensing something was off.

When I first saw him, I thought he was different… But his ability is so stupid… I will have to watch him more closely.
