Chapter 2: Woodness!

Luffy was there for three months. He was really happy. He was finally good enough to catch up to Ace.

Some weeks after Shanks and his crew left East Blue, Gramps had visited him and decided that Foosha Village wasn't a good place for a growing boy.

Luffy certainly didn't get that. From what he had heard from Makino, Shanks, his crew and so on, it was good for young people to grow up in calm places. That it make them s-table? What this 'S-shaped table' was, he didn't know, but it was definitely something that help one's growing up.

Luffy also didn't know how living with bandits would make him a good marine, but it might be something to do with marine-logic. Maybe it did make some sense. It was logic after all.

Not like it ever matter, 'coz he decided to be a pirate and he would never change his mind! Hell, not any pirate! THE PIRATE KING! So jiji could talk whatever he want, but nothing could stop Luffy from becoming a pirate! Even the ultimate doomsday weapon: The Fearsome Fist of Love!

When he FINALLY understood that gramps left him with MOUNTAIN BANDITS of all people, he was so mad! He didn't like them. The Higuma-guy was badmouthing Shanks... on the other hand his idol laughed it off... so Luffy decided to be... nice to his new caretakers? (Which mean that he won't make their life completely terrible... or more than it already is!) He didn't know. After one simple hour that he spent in Dadan's hut he discovered that they weren't so bad. He could feel it. Well, they were still bandits but whey weren't like Higuma-guy. That one was awful and so... black. Luffy could tell that he would hurt someone for fun and it made him sick. This guys weren't that awful. Of course, they had some twisted minds but not like Higuma-guy. It was okey, but he wasn't going to tell them that!

Ace was a different story or rather he was different. Luffy couldn't tell who he was. It never happened before. Even if he didn't talk to someone he still could feel their emotions and say if one was a good or a bad person.

Ace was twisted. He was like a blank page. Neither good nor bad. And he was full of anger. Luffy had known that anger was not a good sign. But every time Ace was back from the forest this anger was lighter. From red-angry he was becoming yellow-happy. Maybe he didn't show it to Dadan and 'her boys', but he couldn't fool Luffy.

The boy with the straw hat was alone. And thanks to it he had a lot of free time to desperately chase after Ace.

And so after three months he was fast enough. He had caught up and met Sabo. For next couple of days and Porchemy incident, they had become a very good friends. Sabo had started to live with them and now they were having the party with bandits.

Everything was fine until his jiji showed up.

Firstly marine hero gave his two grandsons some portion of his Fist of Love. Next was Dadan and her boys for not raising them into a 'strong marinies'! Yes, because it do was Garp-logical that mountain bandits could rise three children into marines. Do not question that!

After giving them some peace of mind that left them with huge bruises on their heads, he decided it was time to present them his new grandson.

"Now Law, come here..."

To room walked young boy. He was probably 12, but they weren't sure. He was really thin, almost like talking skeleton. He had dark bags under his eyes and jet black hair that were covered with dalmatian-spots hat. His skin was like parchment with snow white stains-like marks. He was rather ill-looking.

Ace was the first to spoke.

"Who's da' heck is this weakling?"

New boy's head immediately raised up. His grey eyes were now blazing yellow. He looked pissed. His teeth grated angrily and fingers clenched into fists. Two boys were staring at each other with instantly hate.

Luffy blinked. This angry red aura reminded him about Ace. It was shocking how both of the boys were similar and still being weirdly different. Sabo could see this similarities in behavior. He sighed. He had uncomfortable feeling that they won't get along for nearest time... and knowing Luffy, the boy would like to help this Law-guy shoving them in trouble again. Don't get him wrong. He did like all of adventures that they lived through... But that doesn't mean he liked looking death into eyes. He always had got into trouble but with Luffy it went to the new level of madness. Or rather woodness... they were living in woods after all.

"What are ya looking at, weakling!" Ace yelled at new boy "You wanna fight?!"

At first Law wanted to choking the little asshole, but... well he was just a little asshole. The boy had no idea about hard life. Law was no weakling. From his face disappeared anger. Now he was wearing a mocking expression. His whole body relaxed.

"With someone like you, brat?" he asked scoffingly "If in this room is weakling it is you."

Bandits tensed up. They knew Ace long enough to now that the boy had serious anger issue and pissing him off always ended with someone getting hurt... or something and than they were in need of new furniture.

Ace jumped on his feet.

"Say that again! I dare you!"

Law lips curled into smirk.

"I said that if there was weakling in this room it is you, you little brat"

Ace roared and jumped at the boy but before he could do anything Garp grasped the collar of his shirt and raised him up so Ace couldn't this Law boy. Not like Portgas was bothered by it and was still kicking and jumping in the air.

Law was just smirking looking into angry black eyes of Ace.

"To answer your question, Ace, this is Trafalgar Law" he said and punch the said boy on the shoulder almost making him fall down on his face.

'What the inhuman strength..." thought Law. Not that he wasn't strong, kinda opposite actually, but Vice-Admiral Garp wasn't apparently human.

"For now on he will be your new brother. Try to get along!" said Garp. To said that everyone was shocked was understatement. Dadan and her boys were devastated.

'We got another one!'

They were almost crying. It couldn't be happening. Ace was awful enough and in just three months they had three more. Did Garp have no mercy?

Luffy was happily surprised. New friend meant new adventures! He was greening all happy go lucky. It was even better then before!

Sabo wasn't sure what he felt. He was happy that he met Lu but one never know what this Law-guy can be. He hoped that they won't kill each other in couple of next days.

Ace was furious! There was no way he would ever talk to this guy let alone get along! He was just a creepy-dalmatian!

Law also was surprised. He didn't know that Vice-Admiral was going to actually adopted him. He thought he will spent here like a month but Garp said it like he was supposed to spent here years! No way! Living with this weaklings was out of question!

"Are you stupid, kuso-jiji?!" Ace yelled "Not gonna happened! No way in hell!"

"Call me ji-chan!" yelled Garp automatically not even listening what Ace is talking about.

"Don't want to agree but he's right. I don't want to stay here!"

Ace smiled deviously.

"Right! Besides it's not like this creepy-dalmatian can survive our forest" mocked Ace. He looked at Law and stuck his tongue off "You're too much of a weakling for it."

Law grated his teeth but didn't say anything. He was not going to argue with this kid.

"What's da' matter? Too scared to talk, creepy-dalmatian?"

"Don't call me that you bloody ape!"

"Creepy-dalmatian!"

"Bloody ape!"

That would probably last for a really long time if not for Luffy who suddenly appeared in front of Law. He was waving his hand in the air possibly to great him.

"Hi I'm Luffy and I gonna be a Pirate King! What's your dream? Do you have one? I hope yes! Do you have your favorite color? Mine red! Ace also like red. What's this spots on your face? They look funny. I like funny things. Where are you from? Are you really gonna be my older brother? I never have one. I wanna have one but I don't think Ace want to be mine. But there is also Sabo. Sabo are you gonna be my older brother?..."
Knowing Luffy he would probably still asked million of questions on just one breath but Garp stopped him in his favorite way: Fist of Love!

"Auuugh!" pained moan escaped Luffy's mouth. Doomsday weapon was in work again!

"No grandson of mine will ever become a criminal let alone a Pirate King for that matter! Remember that well Luffy! You four will become a strong marines!"

"No way Ji-chan! No way! I gonna be a pirate! Deal with it!"

"Marine!"

"Pirate King!"

"MARINE!"

"PIRATE KING!"

"MA-RI-NE!"

"PI-RA-TE KING! PI-RA-TE KING! PI-RA-TE KING!"

"MA... *snore*"

Loud argument was stopped be two snores of Monkey D's. Law facepalmed and Ace finally falled down.

Silence quickly became awkward.

'Better I wake him up and explain him that I'm not staying here' thought Law. He wanted to shake Vice-Admiral but before he even had a chance said man woke up.

"-RI-NE!" he shouted and punched his grandson on the head again. Luffy flew on the wall and crashed. His eyes watering and hands massaging growing bulge on his head.

"Umm..." started Law a bit uncomfortable with what he just saw. Garp turned to him.

"Huh?!"

*gulp* Law swallowed. And he had thought that nothing in life will ever frightened him ever again. It was correct as long as he didn't meet Monkey D. Garp. It was nice knowing you world.

"Mr. Garp, I'm not sure if I would like to stay here in the first place since..." not like Garp would let him end this sentence in the first place.

"Nonsense! I can tell that you're gonna make a fine marine!" Garp started laughing proud of himself.

Law sweatdropped and muttered to himself.

"Like hell. I'm already a pirate anyway..."

"What did you said boy?" asked Garp apparently having really good hearing.

"N-nothing" he gulped. That's not gonna end well. His life was awful.

"Really because I heard something different" Garped said grimly.

"Oh!" Luffy probably didn't get the seriousness of the whole situation. "Traffy wanna be a pirate too! That's so cool! All of us want to! Isn't it awesome!"
Sabo, Ace and Law looked at Garp. He didn't look happy.

Then at Luffy. Said boy was now looking at a yellow butterfly that just come inside Dadan's hut.

'This idiot have worse attention span than a goddamn goldfish!' they thought mentally facepalming.

Again at Garp. He was cracking his knuckles.

And finally at each other. Their faces violet with fear.

"Run." they said at the same time and sprinted out of Dadan's hut taking Luffy with them. Garp smirked.

"I gave them enough time." he decided and ran after four future pirates. "I MAKE YOU FOUR INTO A FINE MARINES! NO ONE OF YOU WILL BECOME A GODDAMN PIRATE!"

"Like hell kuso-jiji!" shouted Ace still running.

"I'm already a pirate, you moronic marine" yelled Law. He stopped caring. With Luffy near you it didn't mattered anyway.

"Not gonna happened Garp-san!" that was Sabo who decided that he also needed to said something.

"I'm not gonna be just any pirate ji-chan!" Luffy as terrified as he now was, was still Luffy "I'M GONNA BE A PIRATE KING!"

"Just shut up!"

XxX

A/N: Law joined ASL trio before they made sake ceremony and become brothers. Also the word 'woodness' is really old. From what I know it was used as 'madness' in middle ages.
