Hiya! Next chapter is up! Two last One Piece chapters really help me. I think I'm gonna ship Sanji x Cozette... she is so cute! You see I'm looking for a girlfriend for Sanji since Punk Hazard Arc. It's for one fanfiction that I'll write in the future (but Brotherhood is first ;D). Btw, in the beginning I thought that Reiju will be like the only woman Sanji would ever hit (witch is still possible) but wouldn't be surprised if in next chapters it will turn out that she helped him. I also think that she is the only female that Sanji don't see as woman. He see her as his sister not woman. Oh! Do you guys know that Sanji's eyebrows are curling right and his siblings' left? And I can't wait for Sanji's special episode. Gonna be awesome!
Syluk: Well, it won't be your regular story, believe me! But I'm not gonna spoil it! And nope! I'm not gonna abandoned you guys. Sorry for my absence but I had my high school and enter-university exams. Just in few days I'll be an architecture student :) Oh! And you're from Lithuania, right? I'm from Poland... so close :D
YJV: Here's your update! About Sabo-tenryuubito incident... oh, you guys will love it! Yes, Law do have his devil fruit.
sarge1130: I love you and your long reviews! End yeah... that's Luffy for you!
UnderTakerxXxMadnesS: I will.
DaLantis: Your welcome!
Thanks all of you who decided to follow or favorite my story! Love you!
Chapter 3: The real pirate
If one thought that anyone can run away from Garp then one didn't know history. If Gold Roger himself couldn't (I doesn't matter that he practically gave himself in! Not at all!) than four boys could neither. They were left in the middle of jungle as bloody mess and Garp happy with himself left. His training gone well so he decided to celebrate it with donuts and bottle of sake!
At the same time four future pirates were trying to learn how to walk again. They felt like crap. Law couldn't tell what was the last time he was in such a pain aside from when his Amber Lead Syndrome was in last stadium and even then it was different. He felt like puking. He hoped he wouldn't see his breakfast again.
Sabo wasn't good either. What the hell was wrong with Luffy's, Ace's and apparently also now Law's and his grandfather? He always knew that Luffy was a little monster and Ace wasn't better either but Garp was on completely new level. He was a demon sent from hell by Satan himself. If he would have ever saw Garp make a tsunami he wouldn't be surprised. Hell! If Garp would create devil fruit it wouldn't be shocking. It was devil's work after all!
Ace got up. His whole body ached and big bruises started forming on his hands and legs... and probably everywhere. He looked around. Near him was Luffy. The youngest was so tired after Shitty Grandpa Alert that he couldn't even move and now was sleeping. Ace took unconscious Luffy on his back and looked at other two.
"Okey, let's be clear with our situation!" Ace glared at Law "We. Don't. Like. You!"
Law rolled his eyes.
"Believe me the feelings are mutual."
Two boys were now glaring at each other angrily.
"Okey, okey, let's not make it worse" sighed Sabo. "What about it, guys. We will try to not get to our throats and live in peace, okey? It's enough that Garp is here and I don't think that we need more fights after today's... 'training'... or do you want to repeat that wonderful entertainment?" the only blonde shivered on merely thought of it. Both other boys gulped and shake their heads to forgot about awful experience of Garp's said training.
"Whatever" said Law "I don't need you. I can live in this forest alone."
"Yeah, right... With a bit of luck you'll be eaten tomorrow, creepy-dalmatian."
Law only glared at him, turned around and went into the woods.
Sabo and Ace (with Luffy on his back) decided that for today they would rather sleep in one of their favorite hiding spots. All the way to the place Sabo was glaring daggers into Ace's back (or theoretically Luffy's but eye-daggers have magical powers!) and finally said boy got enough of this.
"WHAT!" he yelled at his best friend.
"Really Ace? You know guy only couple of seconds and you act like this" Sabo gestured at him.
"But you just gestured at all of me!" protested the older one.
"Yeah, that's right! We are lucky that Lu was following you or we'd never meet him..." at this Ace wanted to say something but Sabo didn't let him "and don't start that you don't like him. I know that when Lu does his puppy-eyes you're helpless... well so am I but that's not the point! Anyway, this Law can actually be okey guy! I mean he also want to be pirate in the future and probably already was in one pirate crew. We can learn something from him..."
Cold drops of rain started falling down but they didn't bother.
Ace rolled his eyes.
"Please... Did you see him? His all bones. Just a weakling." If it wasn't for keeping Luffy on his back he would have crossed his arms.
"Well he did survived Garp... and probably was with him on a ship for last couple of weeks. Besides Lu isn't looking strong too and he actually has a lot of strength, yeah he's not trained but strong after all."
"Well he's kuso-jiji's grandson. You can always get monster from another monster!" said Ace with a strait face as it was explaining every mystery in the whole world.
"Like you're the one to talk!" shouted annoyed Sabo. Sometimes he couldn't understand his best friend.
Before any of them said something again the lightning flashed on the firmament and thunder roared in their ears.
"Let's go. It not safe to stay outside in this storm" said Ace and they speeded up.

Law woke up. Sun rays were beaming at him annoyingly trying to immediately woke him up. He opened one eye and glared at big flamy ball that was somewhere in space. His expression clearly said 'Fuck you! Go sparkle somewhere else!' Unfortunately for him, the flamy ball decided that it doesn't care.
He really was annoyed, since he was still sore after yesterday night. He cursed under his breath but stood up nonetheless. In the daylight the forest looked completely different. At night he had had a feeling that every goddamn animal was watching him from behind ready to kill in seconds and their eyes had been glowing red in the dark. Now he could tell that this place was simply amazing. Variety of plants and animals was seen in every 1 meter square.
'Unfortunately most of them are deadly...' he thought. Out of ten plants six were poisonous. The same could be said about animals. Even herbivores had some spikes or other crap that keep them safe... oh and the big ones were really big... like enormous... like giant... like this wolf in front of him.
'Shit...'
The giant animal growled at him.
'It's high time to get the fuck outta here...'
Let's say that he ran really fast!
XxX
Ace was sitting on the tree amused. He, Sabo and Lu were all sleeping in little cave where they keep their treasure. This place was in one of higher points of forest and he could easily look what probably was happening in other parts of woods. Now he was able to see as some really big animal, probably a stray dog or wolf judging by the howls, was chasing after something or someone...
It was hard to tell if it was Law but easy enough to tell how big the pray was and it was probably the size of young human.
Before he had any more time to thing of Law's possible death he heard Lu mumbling about food. The boy just woke up. Ace went inside the cave to check on his friends.

Days passed and he got better. In the beginning it was hard but only because he was used to fighting humans not animals and big ones for that matter. He had found a really god stick that help him fight in the forest. It was long, it reaches his shoulders, and it didn't broke after first few hits.
The forest on Dawn Island was enormous. It spread from mountains in the north to the southern coasts. He also liked how challenging it was. To get himself even a bit of food it took a lot of hard work especially with freshwater since he couldn't swim. In the end he managed as always.
Next thing he discovered was a place called Grey Terminal. It was a enormous junkyard near Goa City, the capital of Goa Kingdom. He didn't know if he hate or love this place. The city itself remind him of Flevance. In a sense it was intimating. The cleanliness and white building make his heart scream in happiness but at the same time it made him remember White Upraising and what Flevance transformed into. Just looking at Goa citizens made his heart cry. He could saw the fire of ammunition and smell the smoke of gunpowder. The woman who sold him rice balls just three days ago looked exactly like sister Angelica the nun from flevancian school.
He felt like puking.
With the eyes of imagination he saw her dead body.
The nobles weren't better. They remind him about king and queen who run away from their kingdom when all citizens of Flevance were stuck in hell on earth. But some of them looked like soldiers and generals that were fighting in White Uprising. They were people that one were a snobby nobles but when war started they begun fighting for their freedom.
Grey Terminal was for him like a symbol. It looked like Flevance after the war. Just a junkyard full of outcast. The place full of diseases and death.

"Ace~u! Ace~u!" Luffy was complaining like this for last week.
"Shut up!" snapped Ace. He was pissed at his friend. The little brat was still asking when will they befriend Law.
"But Ace~u!"
"I said 'shut up'!"
Sabo sighed. They still didn't know much about Law so he couldn't really tell if the guy was okey. He stopped believing Ace's instinct after he met Luffy. After all his first friend convinced him that Lu of all people was annoying and stupid and weak.
Okey... it was true to some extent... after Porchemy incident he stopped thinking like that about Luffy. The boy was still weaker in fights but it was because he lacked experience. He still could destroy trees with no problems and survive tortures without telling a secret. He wasn't sure if he could do that (but he hoped he could)!
Yeah, Luffy didn't get a lot of stuff and he couldn't lie to save his life... literally. But Sabo remembered what Lu told him and Ace after they saved him from death. The little guy had this weird wisdom inside and a lot of his actions were actually quite logical if you think about it later.
And about being annoying... well, Lu was a kid who loved attention from his brothers...
Brothers.
Sometimes he felt as if Luffy and Ace were his actual family not a snobby nobles.
But let's go back to the main topic. Ace's instinct wasn't good contrary to Luffy's that was the best of a kind. He looked at Ace and Luffy. His friends were now fighting over the same topic again. The 'let's-befriend-Law' thing. Or in Luffy's case 'let's-befriend-Traffy'. He sighed. He walked between two boys and separated them.
"Okey, guys calm down." he looked at younger one first "Lu, I know you want to play with Law but we don't know much about him. He can be dangerous. We just want you to be safe" he said and ruffled Luffy's hair. Said boy was now all happy-go-lucky. Sabo now looked at his first friend "Ace don't be so pleased. Just because we don't know if he's bad doesn't mead that he's not good. He can be really cool."
Ace only pouted. He actually looked cute but he would beat anyone who would tell him such a bullshit... maybe aside for Makino.
"Hey, what about that!" Sabo was really trying to sound like it was a great idea "We will spy on this new guy and if he's awful we will leave him alone, but if he's nice we will try to talk to him. Beside... didn't he said that he is a pirate... wouldn't you like to see a real pirate?"
Ace and Sabo were now looking challengingly at each other. Ace weren't convinced but after 5 minutes he gave up.
"Okey."

Law was living in a cave. This place was previously occupied by bear but (after Law confronted it) it decided to left for good. Now he got a large lair all for himself. He had everything he needed. He made makeshift bade with straw instead mattress. He also stole a cover from Dadan's bandits. He knew how to make fire and what plants were poisonous so he had no problems with food. He also found a perfect place for fishing, bathing and taking freshwater.
He had pretty much everything at his fingertips.
He also had no problem with catching bigger animals.
*ROOOOOOOAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!*
Speaking about the devil.
The loud noise was heard probably in nearest 6 km [3,7 miles]. Ground under his feet was shaking. He looked toward the violently rustling bushes. He clenched his fingers on his staff. He was ready.
From the darkness of forest ran out a giant boar. It was at least two times bigger than Law himself. Not like it discourage him. The animal begun charging at him. It's giant body was achieving higher speed with every passing second.
Law was prepared. His muscles tensed ready to move like ever it's owner would like to.
The boar was close. Only 10 ft far away. Law smirked. His left foot rose. The right one spinned. His whole body moved just before the boar could collided with him. Instead it crashed on one of the big trees that were growing here. One could literally see it's eyes turning into spirals. For next three seconds it looked as if boar was down but suddenly enormous bulk rose again ready to attack again. It turned around. Angry red eyes were now burning with blood lust.
'Oh lucky me...' thought Law.
The boar charged again. This time Law jumped left and poke it's side with his staff. The place was just near it's axil. The big animal roared painfully but wasn't discouraged. It was again looking for Law with it's red eyes. But the boy was faster. He climbed on nearest rocks. He took of his knife and jumped on boar's back.
The animal roared taken-aback. It tried to shed him of it's spine. Law's fingers dug into animal's fur. He rose his dagger and stabbed the boar's nape. The blood sputtered violently. The poor animal cried and finally fell down.
Law smiled. He got his dinner.
XxX
Ace, Luffy and Sabo where all sitting in nearest bushes.
"Did ya see it! He was so COOL! Traffy is awesome!" Luffy was beaming now happily.
Sabo smiled.
"You know Ace that you can't kill a boar that fast, right?"
Ace gave him the angry look. His face was red both from anger and embarrassment.
"Shut up..."
