Nanashigurl01 Hi! Good to know that you find my fic interesting, and you wait is over, here is a new chapter, hope you like this one too.
SEllen23 Doflamingo is a complex character, in my opinion he loves Law in his own distorted and disturbed way. Luffy is amazing and I think he is the one that should sum the events of everything, because I know he would be direct and incredibly funny. Thanks for the comment!
The Richmaster The hype over Kaido is sky high, and I'm on the hype train \0/ About Doflamingo, he is really something, I wanted to make him evil but not evil just for the sake of being evil, but more because he just can't see and feel the world like people normally do. I believe WB is awakened; he did some crazy shit in Marineford. This thing about Law awakening his devil fruit, it would be insane. I think the first thing he would be able to do is to expand his room indefinitely and maybe create more than one 'room' . I saw a really nice theory about the room having a meaning on his power up, like emergency room, waiting room and etc. Thanks for the comment, till next chapter!
Okay, this is a huge chapter that was difficult to write even on my own language, so I really want you guys to take this in consideration when you're reading.
That being said, I hope you guys enjoy. This is the first part of Penguin and Sachi flashback, next part would be the conclusion with some details that would explain Law 's current condition.
About the events on this fic, some are based on real facts, search on the internet for a dead whale that was blow up.
Bye!
"It all started when Bepo found us ...".
~~~~ FLASHBACK PENGUIN & SACHI ~~~~
Penguin and Sachi have met each other a little more than two years ago.
At first they had nothing in common, nothing but the passion for the sea. And it was near the sea that they saw each other for the very first time.
That had been the city's biggest event; a huge whale was stranded on the beach, and unfortunately, despite all the efforts didn't survive.
Penguin and Sachi met when after several failed attempts to get the whale's body out of the beach, the city mayor and the counselors decided to take drastic measures.
Soon the whole town knew that they would blow the whale in tiny little pieces.
The two boys found themselves in middle of the crowd who wanted to see the explosion, their names at that time were neither Penguin nor Sachi, but what happened after the whale explosion changed their lives forever.
Perhaps it was the excess of explosives; perhaps it was the size of the whale, perhaps just a miscalculation.
The fact is that when they blew up the whale, huge chunks of it rose into the air and fell into the crowd who was there watching.
Sachi saw a huge piece of whale meat falling exactly where he was, but his reaction was something he never could explain, instead of running away, he turned and pushed the boy that was beside him with all his strength, little did he know that he had saved the boy's life - and then a huge piece of the whale fell on him, his family and others present there.
When he awoke, he noticed the look of astonishment in the hospital doctors.
Everyone said that he was a miracle; even reporters came to interview him.
He was the boy who had survived against a piece of meat of more than 200 kg that fell from a height of 10 floors right into his head and the heads of the other presents and he was intact - no broken bones, nothing. It was a miracle because of all the pieces, the part that had hit him was so rotten that it didn't really hurt.
But he wasn't the only one, another boy had survived too, if this boy had been unlucky or not it was a matter of perspective, because that boy could have died but somehow the kid only broke his legs and pelvis.
Soon he knew that the boy who survived was the one he saved, and then later amid the frenzy, he discovered that his family had been crushed by the same piece of whale that had barely hurt him.
He was in shock, in one moment he was happy with his family and friends, exited to see something different in their quiet and boring life and in the next moment everything had gone wrong and he was somehow alive but alone.
He asked himself why he saved that boy that he didn't know but didn't do nothing to save his own parents. While thinking of that he saw himself in search for someone who had experienced the same thing as him, someone who was there in that bizarre event – and so he decided to visit the other boy, the one he saved and that he knew was in the same hospital as him.
"Hi."
"Hi." Said the other boy who lay immobilized in the bed.
And then the silence hung between them on that day and in every visit, but even without having what to speak about, the boy who survived always visited the boy that he has saved - he was there every single day.
Until both of them were released from the hospital.
The family of the boy he saved had welcomed him, he had not been adopted by them, but he knew that whenever he needs he could count on them.
But, despite of that, the silence between the boys continued and continued until one day, when the boy who survived was going to get the boy he has saved from the physical therapy. The boy that survived couldn't contain his smile when he saw that bizarre walking.
"You are walking like a penguin."
The boy looked at him with wide eyes and then in a venomous tone replied.
"What do you mean, oh Sachi, the killer whale."
At first he felt the impact of those words, after all, his parents had died because of a whale, but he couldn't stay mad at the boy, that boy was his only company, he felt connected to him - every time he was away from the boy he got worried, and so he always ran to visit him, but every time he sees the boy, he was remembered of the tragicomedy that took over his life and blamed the boy.
That boy was part of the tragicomedy that his life became, and he couldn't see other way to live without the absurdly that circulated his life when he was close to the boy.
The days passed and both noticed that they had never called each other by name, a few months later and names were no longer needed, a year later and they became known as Penguin and Sachi.
The boy who walked like a penguin for months and the boy who survived after being hit by piece of giant whale that fell from the heavens.
The kid who always ended up falling, crashing, hurting, that would always got his bones broken and many would say that has a huge bad luck and the boy who was able to come out relatively unscathed from the most impossible situations.
Their adventures were known around town.
The boy nicknamed Sachi, who managed to create and ride on a bicycle moved by an homemade engine that worked like a propulsion motor, fueled by things that anyone could buy in the supermarket - the same bicycle that almost went flying and tossed him meters away, making him fall on his face right into the concrete floor and he - he came out with only a few scratches, no broken bones, no burnings, nothing worthy of a doctors attention.
And the boy nicknamed Penguin, that when learning martial arts put on his head that he could walk horizontally, and that after failing, falling and going to the hospital more than 10 times, managed to do it and soon after, fallen from a height of 9 floors and was taken to the ICU.
These were stories that Bepo had heard.
In Bepo's mind and ears, he didn't hear about two crazy boys who placed themselves in dangerous situations for no reason at all. He heard about two boys with enough courage to do what any sensible person would not do and somehow make it possible. Two boys that survived to what any other else would probably die.
They were perfect. And so he sought them.
"You what?" Sachi asked.
"Did I heard Doflamingo?" Penguin said amazed.
"Yes. Doflamingo. I'm here to get people to be part of a crew. "Bepo said for the first time without lowering the head.
"And you'd want us to join this guy? Look I don't want to enrage a Warlord, but this is suicide. "
Sachi said nothing but agreed with Penguin.
"But you would have power, influence, who doesn't want that?"
"Hãããnnn ... us? Look where we live dude, on one hand you are talking about a city whose the main event is us and on the other you are talking about a Warlord!"
"You guys prefer to live here, where nothing happens, where there is no emotion, a place which you have seen and met all the limits?"
Both boys didn't say a thing, but in their eyes Bepo could see that they would not come with him.
Bepo was crestfallen. He really had hopes for those two, he felt that they would agree. How could he be so wrong?
He was upset because again he would return to Dressrosa, to Law, empty handed.
"I'm sorry. It was nice to meet you two. "
It was strange for many reasons; first they had never seen a bear speaking - when they saw it or Bepo was it told them - Penguin would always remember how Sachi ran away.
But that wasn't the case, Penguin was really impressed because when they saw such bizarre polar bear and while Sachi reaction was to run, his was to fight - and no one was a better fighter than Penguin in that town and that bear was able to face him in a hand to hand combat.
The bear - Bepo - had technic, control and precision of a martial artist; it was something he wasn't expecting.
"He hits hard."
Sachi looked surprised at Penguin.
"What? But you barely feel pain! "
"That's right, so if I felt something is because he really hits hard."
"My God! You may have broken something, we have to go the hospital! "
And Sachi wasn't wrong, Penguin had broken his arm and cracked three ribs - very unlucky some would say, but he was a 17 year old boy who had fought against a teenager polar bear with over 400 kg of weight - in short, it was impossible for him to be alive.
"Sachi, I've been thinking ... maybe we should see what that bear has to offer."
"Are you crazy? Did he hit your head too? "
"No. But he's right; we have nothing else to do here. This life isn't funny, we have tried everything, you always come out unscathed and I always survive, what else can we try? What else can challenge us? I miss being afraid, I miss the feeling of real danger. "
"Man, you really are crazy!"
But Sachi understood Penguim, after some time they discovered that they are cursed or maybe blessed.
One would always remain relatively unscathed and the other would always survived. Their pastime became the acts they did to see where would be the end of their luck, and after several tries they lost the fear, they lost the pain, they lost the interest – there was no fun in life when you have nothing that could give you the trill the felling of danger.
The place where they lived didn't help either, it was terrible boring.
And then from out of nowhere, it appeared that the heavens have listened to them and send an opportunity in the form of a big talking polar bear. And so they ended up chasing Bepo until Bepo get bored and resolve to take satisfactions.
"What do you want? You had said that you aren't interested"
"Take us to your captain!"
Bepo looked at the two boys, trying to appear badass wearing sunglasses and making poses. So he tried to test them - Law would be proud.
"I am the captain."
"OK! Try to fool someone else Big Bear. Who is the crazy guy? "Penguin said.
And so Bepo led them to Dressrosa.
~~~~ DOFLAMINGO ~~~~
Doflamingo wasn't blind to the situation and to the plans from his beloved Law, but when he saw a weird red-haired boy and another boy with cast on his arm using a piece of stick to scratch it – he only laughed.
These are your reinforcements, Law?
He was disappointed.
Doflamingo knew Law was planning something and he knew Bepo was involved, but he was curious to see how far it would go and so he did nothing, he only observed.
Any person who could actually be a threat to him be it now or in the future, he soon removed from the equation even before Bepo get to them, not to mention other cases where people gave up after knowing that he was involved.
However those two, they were bizarre, he couldn't see advantage in those boys.
Law would see what he saw and would eventually discard those two.
~~~~~ LAW ~~~~
Law when he saw the two, got really disappointed and didn't bothered to hide it, are they all that Bepo could find?
But at the same time Law knew that in his condition he couldn't be picking, and he then decided to give a chance to the two boys, they were two weirdos, but after hearing some stories of them Law was getting interested.
Those two defied logic, they defied fate.
He needed people like that.
~~~~ PENGUIM & SACHI ~~~~
Stupid and courageous, able to do and survive the unthinkable.
The question was whether the two would be willing to follow him.
Penguin and Sachi were disappointed as well, after getting face to face with Doflamingo just after landing, they met with Law and what they saw wasn't what they expected.
When Bepo told them that Law intended to ran away, get low profile to plan and prepare to take down a Warlord, in their heads they imagined that Law was an older guy, bigger, stronger. But what they saw was a slender body, a pale face, dark circles under his eyes, a young man that seems to hide himself in the midst of so much clothing and feathers.
They are in the summer for God's sake!
"For God's sake, get these clothes off! I'm sweating just by looking at you."
Sachi said it without the slightest concern and Law didn't expect that, and not even Penguin and Shachi.
Both thought that Law would be angry or would even attack them, they expected everything but seeing the young man hiding part of his face on that bunch of feathers that he had on the collar of his clothing, all of that to hide his smile.
But what really surprised they were how fast the other boy could make his face go blankly like a wall.
"I like them, let's see if they will be useful."
Useful?
What the hell?
While Sachi was in shock after being referred as a thing, Penguin was already on the move.
Penguin had enough.
On the same day they were intimidated by none other than Donquixote Doflamingo, only to then have to be scorned and seen as objects by Doflamingo's bitch, who thinks he is the big deal.
Penguin would not let pass by.
Sachi noticed Penguin moving to attack and for a second he thought about stopping him, but he also wanted to see what the other boy could do; run away and then attack a man like the Warlord was something very bold, that would certainly required some planning, time and strength. And he saw none of it in the boy in front of them.
But both had never seen anything like that, suddenly the young man just disappeared and reappeared behind Penguin. Penguin has no time to react and the boy touched him, vanished again.
"Penguin! Are you okay?"
Sachi said running toward him and Penguin looked at him in surprise.
"Yes I am."
And then he went on trying to take the cast off his arm.
"Hey! What are you doing ?! You still can't take it out!"
But Penguin spun and touched and admired his arm, ignoring Sachi he looked at boy who had appeared in front of them, but now at a safe distance.
"What did you do?"
"I healed your arm."
"How?"
"That's my ability, I can do whatever I want within an area created by me."
Penguin and Sachi looked at each other, did they heard it correctly?
"Whatever you want ?! Damn dude, how did you not ran away? You're practically a god!" Penguin said.
"Gosh, 'what you want' ?! The possibilities are endless! Penguin, remember that thing I wanted to do and people said it was physically impossible ?!"
"Yes."
"So! To hell with what they said! The physics does not apply to him!" Sachi pointed to Law all excited.
It was funny to them to see the boy loose his composure and stand awkwardly without knowing how to react to the commentaries, Law on the other hand felt bad when he noticed the excitement of the two boy – they didn't know the limitations of his power.
"It's not quite how it works. I can't simply think and it will happen, I need to understand how something works to make it possible, so the physics apply to me as well."
But that didn't discourage the two and both eventually animated Law as well.
"This isn't a problem. Your thing is medicine, isn't it?" Sachi asked and when Law nodded he continued. "Within this area there are a lot of things we can do;. Ultrasound, radiation, gamma rays, electricity"
"Like a defibrillator!" Law said a little excited.
"Exactly!"
And then Law showed the two boys what he was trying to do with his powers and in what he had success on simulating. Their excitement was wonder to Law – is this how a teenager or young adult feel ? That excitement of discovery, the desire to smile over silly things, to see and to know more?
On the outside he was impassive, but inside he was extremely happy.
"Can you do more stuff?"
"Huum ... I can cut a person without he or she feeling pain."
"Cool!" They said simultaneously.
"What about the radioactive side of medicine?" Sachi asked.
"I know how operate the devices, but I have no clue how it works so I can't emulate them with my power."
The two boys had a macabre smile on their faces.
"Dude… Sachi will teach you a few things ..."
"Yes I will, and you can believe me, that after some of my help you will not only cure cancer but also cause cancer on people ..." Sachi smiled
"Hey, how about laser shots?"
"That would be amazing!"
"It's possible?" Penguin questioned and Sachi puffed his chest and in a pompous voice proclaimed
"Science is not a question of 'how?' but of 'why not ?!' "
Law looked at Bepo and smiled at him.
"I think we found our first crewmates."
And they stood there looking at their new nakamas discussing crazy ideas and endless possibilities.
When they officially agreed to join Law, saying the risk was worth it, Law showed them his submarine.
"My God!" Penguin said.
"It use propulsion or is nuclear?" Sachi asked.
"Propulsion..."
The two looked at each other, Sachi excited and Penguin shaking his head in denial.
"No way! The last time you messed with it I almost died!"
"Stop with the exaggeration, Penguin. It was only a week in the hospital and now our ... Captain ...? ... Can you patch you on the same day!"
"No way ..."
"If you help me I will make a dessert for you!"
"He knows how to cook?" Bepo asked Penguin.
"Yes, we both know. We learned when my mother stopped making dessert for us."
"My dessert not always look pretty ..." Sachi said "... but it's yummy!" Penguin completed.
They were bizarrely perfect.
"Do you guys know each other since when?" Law questioned.
"Bepo didn't tell you?"
Bepo lowered his head "I'm sorry ..."
"He didn't had time to tell me everything."
"Our lives were brought together by a giant piece of whale that fell from heaven!" Penguin said dramatically.
"So they started to call me Sachi, I was the one that survived being crushed by a whale."
"And I'm Penguin, I wasn't directly hit but the impact broke my legs and pelvis and I spent months walking like a penguin." Said Penguin discouraged.
And after a brief silence, out of nowhere the two pointed at the submarine and asked.
"We can play with it?"
Law without words only agreed.
And that's how they met and joined Law's crew.
They didn't have a name, but they already had rules and Bepo soon put them on par of how things worked. It wasn't all sunshine and flowers, they had to discrete and should avoid confrontation with any Family member, they also shouldn't under no circumstances interfere with Doflamingo and Law's relationship.
Relationship? That was the first time they started to suspect something.
Then came the information that they can only met Law on the Sunflower field, that Law would never go after them, they had to go to where he was and they had to it on specific days - Days determined by Doflamingo.
It became clear that it was the Warlord who decided who, when and how, someone could see Law.
In a month they fully understood the situation and realized that it was much more complicated than it seemed.
They soon noticed that they are there only because Doflamingo had approved them, that's why they were inquired on the first day and whatever the Warlord had seen or not seen had been the reason of why they still alive and being allowed to be friends with Law - they were always being observed.
It became clear to them the reason why Law with all his power haven't ran away, disappear was a requirement that Law alone didn't have enough power to accomplish.
It was clear to both that Law couldn't escape because Doflamingo knew that it was what Law wanted, all of them were merely toys for the Warlord - yet they still had confidence.
That was just another challenge that everyone would consider to be impossible, but they always managed to deal with it, overcome it, and prove to everyone that they were right.
It is possible.
At least they thought so.
Until the day they found that Doflamingo wasn't only the King of Dressrosa, a Pirate Captain and a Warlord, he was also known as Joker.
The King of the Underworld.
In that very moment, they began to doubt as well.
But one day everything changed.
One simply act had given to them the push to change everything.
They already knew Law, already knew his problems and dilemmas.
They're already too involved in the situation to get out of it. They would not run away, because they knew that this was what Doflamingo wanted them to do – if they flee, Law would be alone again.
But they wouldn't do it to their Captain.
Law was their friend, even if Law refused to accept it.
And if Law could not save himself, they would save Law.
Sachi was willing to prove it wasn't impossible and then he began to make major changes in the submarine.
Penguin was willing to prove that he wasn't afraid when he confronted Doflamingo after being witness to a scene that profoundly disturbed him.
Both remained firm, while Bepo traced possible routes.
Law had everything planned, he let everything ready for them but they knew that their planning was their weak point - Law knew Doflamingo but Doflamingo also knew law.
They already had this in mind when they met Vergo.
They already knew what to do when they heard the screams.
Sachi had faith in his luck and he knew that nothing would happen to Law if Law was together with him. So he took Law in his arms and ran like he never did before.
Penguin knew that despite all that was said about him and him being unlucky, it was the opposite, he was a very lucky guy.
So he stood on his feet together with Bepo, all bruised but not really in pain because through his life all his misfortune and accidents ended fucking up with his nervous system - for him no matter how strong Vergo could hit, he would not budge, he would barely felt pain.
The two lived almost a year together with Bepo and Law, they had decided that nothing would make them quit or give up - no defeat, no frustration, no blackmail or broken bones.
They would not be the losers; they would bear with the pain, fear and suffering for a few days, because Bepo and Law withstand the same for years and years.
And right in front of Vergo's eyes, both the bear and the boy disappeared.
The submarine was already at sea and was faster than any other that Doflamingo possessed.
And in the depths of the sea, the boy who should have died, the lost Mink, the lucky boy and the unlucky one, disappeared.
