The first new chapter, after so many time...

Hope you guys enjoy it.

He couldn't explain what he was feeling.

He hated Doflamingo, yes, that was true, but he also felt a certain attachment to his own tormentor and the worst is that he doesn't know the reason behind that feeling.

Doflamingo killed Cora-san.

Doflamingo lied to him.

Doflamingo took everything from him.

But this man also taught him how to fight, defend, manipulate and negotiate.

Thanks to Doflamingo he has the best education that money could pay, the best clothes, the best food - whatever he wanted, he would get.

He was his favorite.

But he also had full understanding of the reasons behind all the pampering - Doflamingo had said to Cora, thinking that he was not present; that he would teach Law to love him.

He never understood why Doflamingo did what he did, but after that day Doflamingo never touched him.

In fact Doflamingo didn't even look or speak to him. The man barely stayed in the same room with him.

And he found it great.

He could live like this for a few more years.

But then things changed, and it changed subtly.

Dressrosa was a beautiful country, even though they were rebuilding it, it still beautiful and happy - walk admiring the landscape was one of his favorite pastimes besides reading.

But Doflamingo only allowed him to walk in certain areas - apparently people should not know of his existence.

His freedom was limited but it still existed.

He tried to see more, to run, to do something - but he was never truly alone.

And over the time, without much splurge, he saw himself walking with someone by his side - and his company was never Baby 5 or Bufallo, someone within the family that he knew he could manipulate easily.

It was always Gladius, Jora, Pink...

Shortly thereafter he could only walk through the Palace and its surroundings.

Then, it was just inside the Palace.

Only on the first floor and kitchen.

Only the first floor.

Only in his room.

He never liked people and crowds, but he saw himself feeling alone.

The only person he saw was Doflamingo and Doflamingo only came to bring him food and books.

Doflamingo didn't talked to him, he barely looked at him.

Before long he found himself desperate for any act of the man, any word, anything.

To his despair he found himself trying to start a conversation.

And when Doflamingo finally heard him and spoke to him.

"I brought these books to you. Study them and then recite them to me."

He could not understand what was going through his head and heart. He took the books and read them, incessantly.

He anxiously waited for Doflamingo's return, he waited for days where the closest thing to a person he saw was the one he saw through the window and the hand that appeared bringing food but closing the door before he could do something.

And then one day Doflamingo came back, sat on his bed and called him - He didn't questioned, he went and sat on the man's lap and went on to recite every page of the book, his eyes filled with tears at every murmur of approval, his heart beat stronger at every gesture of affection.

Line by line, page by page until fatigue made him fall asleep in Doflamingo's arms.

This was repeated several times, one or two books, the task of decorating them and then recite everything to Doflamingo.

He was a full doctor in theory.

Not long after, the visits became more frequent, Doflamingo cut a finger and came to him who promptly helped him, if someone had fever or a cough or a sore throat, he was the one taking care of them - the problems going from simple to complex, Doflamingo's questions growing more and more elaborate, a true challenge to his intellect and he loved it.

Doflamingo now bring with him more than just books, he brought candy and sometimes toys.

Some even emit sounds and talked with him.

Too bad they never last long, Doflamingo from time to time said they were broken and changed them with others. Doflamingo even encourages him to carry out operations with the toys.

"But they're toys, they have cotton inside, not organs."

"Fufufufu, think of them as people, Law."

In the end he didn't know how much time had passed - would it be two or three years? Maybe more...

But one day Doflamingo brought something special, a unique gift for 'the prettiest boy of all' according to Doflamingo.

"He's a mink. They are very special and this one is yours to do whatever you desire."

He smiled at Doflamingo, his smile full of joy because now he would not be alone - he was so happy that he didn't notice how scared the little mink was.

"Whatever I want?"

"Yes, Law. You can dissect it, try new theories on it, it has organs within and not cotton ... or you can keep it stuck here, give a name to it, educate it, give attention and affection to it and soon it will love you back. "

Doflamingo looked at Law, gave a small laugh and left them alone.

He approaches that beautiful pet and was surprised when it talked back to him.

"Get away! Don't come near me!"

"You can talk?!"

The small bear cub agreed.

"So you're like me? You ate a Devil Fruit"

And after hearing that the little bear got even more frightened.

"You ate a Devil Fruit ?! H-How ?!"

"It's true, it is not very good for attacks but thanks to it I healed myself and look what I can do."

He created a 'Room' and showed the bear cub how he could change things places, make the objects float in the air and a small electrical discharge that he recently managed to do when he was reading about defibrillators.

He's never been so excited and the bear also in the midst of his own admiration asked a simple question that would change everything for them.

"Wow... with so much power, why haven't you got away from here?"

Get away?

Escape?

Why it never crossed his mind?

When did he stop trying?

~~~~ Sunny - 9 years later ~~~~

Attempt after attempt, Usopp had lost hope.

It was easier to just wait Law to be back to normal and pretend it never happened, he felt that if they keep looking for culprits they would end up getting in trouble and he does not want it.

He was just leaving when the Den Den Mushi rang, he looked at the door right there in front of him.

Why God?!

Why?

And he returned to answer the Den Den Mushi, only to have his ears assaulted by a noise in the background.

"Where is our Captain ?!"

"Who speaks?"

"That's us! The Heart Pirates! Here is Sachi ... Bepo is feeling something strange, our captain is with you?"
