For @lawlu-week‘s 10 Days of Lawlu Day 10: Deprived
Ship: Law/Luffy Rating: Teen and Up Words: 1722 Tags: Mention of Eustass Kid/Killer, Post-Canon, Post-Wano Arc (One Piece), Comedy, Fluff, Kissing, Romance, Fluff and Humor
Summary: Law was taking a break from the chaos that the Hearts and the Straw Hats were causing at the pool, but getting hit on wasn't a part of his relaxation plan. But in the end, he might just end up the winner.
------------
Sipping on his whisky and listening to the water furiously splashing behind him, Law was very glad he had decided to stay away from the pool that afternoon. The high-pitched scream that sounded suspiciously like Shachi followed by Luffy’s loud laughter was all the assurance he needed. After two days at this spa resort, which consisted mostly of him either saving Luffy from drowning or actively trying to drown him for pushing Law into the pool, he was more than happy to sit this one out. Someone else could try to do damage control while he sat back, enjoying his drink and laughing at their misfortune. Even if him hiding meant Luffy would keep calling him boring and trying to convince him that he was depriving himself of fun.
Which was absolutely not true; he was having enough fun by himself, thank you very much.
Just as he waved the bartender over to order another drink, he sensed someone approach him and sit on the chair next to him. Judging by the perfume, he had assumed it was Nami, sick of getting doused in water every ten minutes and taking a break; however, when he turned to look at her, he was met with green eyes, a coy smile, shoulder-length, brown hair, and a face he did not recognize.
Blankly regarding at the young woman for a second, Law judged that she was neither dangerous nor worth his attention, and turned back to his refilled glass without a word, hoping she would get the hint and leave him alone.
“I really like your tattoos. They immediately get a message across.” Of course she wouldn’t just leave. Instead, after saying that, she ordered a cocktail before looking back at him with a wink.
“I’m not interested,” Law said bluntly, not even bothering to acknowledge her words because really, who except Luffy would honestly compliment the DEATH spelled out on his fingers?
He heard the woman giggle and sighed. This was going to be more difficult than he had hoped. “Wow, your friend was right,” she said, turning around in her chair to face Law properly, crossing her legs slowly to show off the length of them.
“Friend? What are you talking about?” Law asked, frowning slightly.
“He said that you were going to play hard to get. He was right,” she said while making a show of seductively brushing her hair behind her ear. She was trying so hard Law almost felt bad for not being interested in the least. “He also said you were sorely deprived of a woman’s touch,” she finished in a whisper, then gently placed her hand over Law’s.
Immediately, Law slapped the hand away. “Who the fuck said that shit?” he growled, hoping it wasn’t any of his crew or the Straw Hats playing a really bad joke or he was going to end them.  
“Uhm—” the woman looked startled by the harshness of his reaction, but finally she gestured towards the other side of the poolside bar— “that one, with the red hair.”
Law followed the direction in which he pointed, immediately recognizing the rival pirate captain who was smirking back at him, all smug. Eustass. Of course it was Eustass. Why were the Kid Pirates even still there and why the fuck would this asshole go out of his way to annoy Law to this extent? Was this revenge for walking in on him earlier? Law had to ask himself how stupid Eustass had to be if he thought Law actually wanted to see Killer’s tongue shoved down his throat. Honestly, Law would gladly give up one of his legs if it would make him unsee that.
Sighing sharply, Law simply flipped Eustass off before turning back to the woman next to him. “Look, I’m sorry for whatever the asshole told you, but I assure you he’s not my friend and I’m actually here with somebody.”
“You sure? You looked pretty lonely here,” she asked with a little pout in a last ditch effort to get him to flirt back but Law could see she was already giving up. He really felt bad for her, this wasn’t fair to her either.
Fucking Eustass.
“Yeah, sorry. Just taking a break from all the energy out there,” he said as he pointed back towards the pool. He could now hear Bepo and Chopper complaining to each other about the heat while Penguin and Franky tried to goad them to come out of the water to get some watermelon with them. They only succeeded in the two furry pirates asking them to bring the watermelon into the pool instead.
“Ah. Okay, I get that.” She nodded in agreement, laughing at something that Law couldn’t see. Probably had something to do with Black Leg’s cursing.
Law smirked. Finally someone who didn’t try to tell him to ‘join the fun;’ this girl really wasn’t so bad. But he still wasn’t interested.
“To-ra-o! Come play with me!” The shout was his only warning before Luffy’s arms wrapped around his shoulders a second later.
Law nearly jumped out of his skin at the contact; Luffy felt like a block of ice, the cold pool water completely soaking Law’s shirt where Luffy was pressing his chest against his back, a few droplets dripping from his hair and onto Law’s face. “Luffy-ya, really?” Law sighed, wiping water off of his cheek.
“Really,” Luffy said, and Law could just hear the pout in his voice. Law wondered what he was suddenly so upset over. “You said you wanted to be alone but if you’re up to chatting now, you can hang out with me, too.”
Ah.
Law and the girl next to him exchanged a glance. Law could tell she immediately put two and two together, judging by the way she quickly covered her mouth to stifle a laugh. Well, at least he didn’t have to worry about explaining anything to her anymore. Now to explain it to the idiot still stubbornly clinging onto him.
Although, there probably wouldn’t be much point to assuring him with words, since Luffy likely didn’t even understand his own jealousy. Gently grabbing onto Luffy’s forearm, Law smirked and let his head fall back to look at his boyfriend. “Fine, you win. I’ll be right there, okay?”
The smile Luffy gave him was blinding. Goddamnit, this man really was too cute, too bright for this world and Law felt himself falling for him even deeper every time he smiled like that if at all possible.
“Okay, you have two seconds,” Luffy said, his arms tightening around Law’s shoulders minutely before he ran off again.
Law chuckled to himself. How was he supposed to say no? And so, he simply grabbed the straw hat that was laying on the counter next to him and put it on his head before he slowly stood up to follow the ball of energy that was his boyfriend. As he grabbed his refilled glass to take with him outside, he turned to the girl who was now resting her elbow on the counter, her cheek resting against her palm with an amused look on her face.
“So, as you can see, I’m quite taken,” Law said, unable to keep the smirk off his face.
“Oh, it’s quite alright, your boyfriend’s really cute—” she waved him off, returning his smirk— “Sorry for hitting on you.”
“Sorry for Eustass-ya misleading you.” Law wasn’t sure why he was the one apologizing instead of the guilty party but it felt wrong to not say anything.
Her smirk widened then, a devious glint appearing in her eyes. “Don’t worry about that. A girl knows how to get her revenge.”
“Looking forward to it,” Law said with a laugh. He was really starting to like this girl.
She raised her glass in a toast before gesturing towards the entrance to the bar. When Law glanced that way, he was surprised to see Luffy standing there, biting on his bottom lip and tapping his foot impatiently, looking like he wasn’t entirely sure what to do with himself. Law huffed out a laugh, amused by how restless Luffy looked, before he gave the girl a quick nod and finally went to join the future Pirate King.
As soon as he was close enough, Luffy grabbed his hand to drag him out but when Law’s eyes met with Eustass’ cocky stare, he stopped him. “Hey, Luffy-ya?”
Luffy paused, turning around to look at him but before he could so much as ask what was up, Law pulled him close, his free hand going up to cup his face while the one holding his glass went carefully behind Luffy’s back pulling him closer. Law leaned down, meeting Luffy halfway as their lips connected. He relished in the way Luffy melted against him, their kiss soft and slow as their lips moved in sync.
He would never get tired of feeling Luffy against him like this, of feeling his warmth seep into his own body while Luffy’s heartbeat quickened in his chest. He was sure that Luffy could feel the same thing from Law’s own heart. He would never get enough of kissing him—whether it was just a brief, absent minded brush against Luffy’s hair, an innocent, quick peck on his smiling lips, or a slow, sensual kiss that made Law’s whole body heat up, goosebumps raising on his skin wherever Luffy’s fingers touched. He would never get enough of Luffy, of his skin, his taste, his hands pushing Law’s hat—or Luffy’s hat in this case—out of the way so that he could run his fingers through his hair. All of it was precious to him and he was willing to risk his everything for this man.
“What was that for?” Luffy asked quietly when they finally pulled away from each other a little bit, sounding just as breathless as Law felt.
Law only shook his head, smiling as he pressed one last chaste, quick kiss to his lips. “Nothing, don’t worry about it.”
Luffy only shrugged and grinned back, grabbing Law’s hand once more and pulling him towards the pool.
And if Law shot one last smirk and a middle finger to a theatrically gagging Eustass, that was his business. After all, girls weren’t the only ones who couldn’t be deprived of revenge.

Suddenly, the mysterious girl hugged him. As Luffy hesitantly hugged her back, he felt like he had met her before. In another time, or another place. Or, maybe, in a dream.
Modern AU, fem!Law LawLu for the LawLu Week @lawlu-week​​, inspired by the “affection”, “ocean dreams”, and “another time; another place” prompts. Law’s design is based on one of the sketches I made for another project that sadly never saw the light:

Day Six: Solitude
Law and Luffy sometime after Luffy finds the One Piece
Word Count: 918
Law had never hated being alone. Not before Luffy. Before he met Luffy, Law found solitude peaceful, welcoming, and comfortable. Solitude was the most valuable thing Law had ever experienced.
Then Luffy came into his life. He came like a storm, bringing chaos with him. Law didn't realize he was in love with Luffy until he watched Doflamingo get his ass handed to him by Luffy. And Law thought he'd never get the chance to tell Luffy how he felt when they fought Kaido.
Wano had scared Law senseless with all the chaos that went on there. Even in Wano though, Law preferred his solitude over anyone else's company. After Wano though, nothing could keep Law from telling Luffy how he felt. Not when he watched Luffy almost die for a second time.
Law felt the mattress move beneath him before Luffy wrapped his arm around him.
"Morning," Law murmured with a small smile.
"To-ra-o!" Luffy squeezed Law in his arms, squeezing the comforter in his fists. "Morning!" Luffy pressed his head against Law's back and against Law's tattoo. Law found the back of Luffy's hand and drew circles on Luffy's skin.
"Did you sleep alright?" Luffy asked before kissing Law's back.
"Mhm." Law rolled over in Luffy's arms to face him. Law tilted Luffy's chin up and left a lazy kiss on Luffy's lips. "Do you really have to go today?"
"We gotta sail before the log pose resets," Luffy pointed out. "Nami said so."
"Nami-ya can suck my cock," Law retorted in poor taste.
"That's my job!" Luffy huffed. He frowned at Law.
Law snorted, trying and failing not to laugh. He kissed Luffy's forehead. "And you do a great job."
"Shishishi." Luffy smiled at Law. "Besides, I don't think Nami would want to do that."
"Probably not," Law agreed.
Luffy sat up and stretched his arms up. His shoulders popped.
"You're not leaving already are you?" Law asked. He wasn't quite ready to be left alone yet.
"Nope," Luffy chirped. He twisted around and leaned over Law, kissing him and pressing his body against Law's. Law wrapped his arms around Luffy.
Law pulled away just enough to talk. "When do I get to see my little Pirate King next?" Law murmured, he ran his hands down Luffy's sides.
"I dunno," Luffy replied with his voice just as quiet. "I maybe I can catch you at the next island."
"I sure hope so," Law said. "I don't want to go months without seeing you again."
"You missed me, huh?" Luffy said with a smile. Law sat up, pulling Luffy into his lap he kissed Luffy again.
"Yeah, didn't you miss me?" Law asked.
"Of course!" Luffy chirped. He wrapped his arms around Law's neck and Law kissed Luffy's cheek and down his neck.
"Oi!" There was shouting in the hall outside their inn room. "Luffy!?"
Of course, it was one of the damned Strawhats. Law could never really have Luffy all to himself for even one day.
"Oh, that's Usopp," Luffy muttered.
"Tell him to go away," Law muttered. He rested his chin on Luffy's shoulder. and hugged him tighter.
"Luffy!?" Law could hear Usopp knock on the door next to theirs. At least he wasn't Law's problem yet. Law decided to steal kisses from Luffy while he could. It wouldn't be long before Usopp was banging on their door. Luffy gladly obliged, meeting Law halfway with every kiss.
Then there was the knock at their door.
"It's not time yet," Luffy pouted as he pulled away from Law.
"Luffy!?" Usopp called yet again.
"Maybe if we ignore him, he'll go away," Law said.
"Torao, that's mean," Luffy muttered.
"Law!" Usopp yelled. "I know  you guys are in there, Bepo told me you were here and this is the last room!"
"I'm going to decapitate him," Law whispered between kisses.
"That's mean too," Luffy pointed out.
"Huh, I don't recall promising to be nice."
They shared another kiss with the banging on the door.
"I'll break in if I have to!" Usopp yelled.
Luffy sighed and climbed off of Law's lap, he pulled on some clothes before he answered the door.  "What is it?"
"Zoro got arrested last night for fighting a bartender and he broke out this morning and ran back to the ship and now the marines are on our ass and we gotta go!"
"What!?" Luffy ran his hand through his hair. Zoro was a drunken bastard set on stealing Luffy away from Law and Law was going to make him regret it.
"Luffy we gotta go," Usopp said. He grabbed Luffy's wrist and pulled I'm into the hall.
"Hold on!" Luffy yanked his arm back and ran into the room. He jumped onto the bed next to Law.
"I love you, Torao," Luffy said. He kissed him again. Law smiled at him.
"Love you too, Law muttered, need any help kicking ass?"
"No way!" Luffy stuck his tongue out at Law.
"Alright, alright," Law muttered. "One more."
They kissed again and this one was long. Law made sure it was. He wanted to make Usopp as uncomfortable as possible. When Luffy pulled away, Law bit his lip to try to keep him there a little longer. Luffy grabbed his shirt on the way out closed the door behind him. Law was alone again.
He might as well go back to his crew, he had his own plans to follow through on after all.

Do not touch me
[Read on AO3 or below the cut]
For @lawlu-week‘s 10 day’s of Lawlu event, Day 1: Affection
Ship: Law/Luffy Rating: General Audiences Words: 1092 Tags: Canon Compliant, Post-Punk Hazard Arc, Fluff, Humor, Fluff and Humor, Pre-Relationship, Non-Consensual Hugging, Law is Suffering, (jk he likes it), Luffy Being Luffy
Summary: Trafalgar D. Water Law has never been a very affectionate person. Unless you were a fluffy polar bear, you would be lucky to maybe get a handshake. On the other hand, Monkey D. Luffy has never had a single problem with physical affections, be it hugs, piggy-back rides, or cuddles. And so, when the two came together after the unexpected events on Punk Hazard, things were bound to get... interesting.
Or, “What is this?” “Affection.” “Disgusting. Do it again.”
-----------
The first time Luffy had draped himself over Trafalgar Law’s shoulders during the party at Punk Hazard, Nami, Zoro, and a few of the G-5 soldiers could only watch with a mix of surprise and amusement as Law froze in place in the middle of a sentence, not moving a muscle until Luffy asked him what was wrong. In immediate response to the innocent question, Law called forth one of his Rooms and, with voice full of annoyance, switched Luffy with one of the barrels from all the way over on the deck of the stolen tanker ship, prompting everyone to laugh at the loud crash which was immediately followed by some muffled, unintelligible complaining.
It only took a few seconds for Luffy to get back on his feet and propel himself towards the group, crash-landing right into Zoro. After carelessly apologizing to his first mate, he turned to Law with a large pout on his face, and demanded to know why Law was being mean.
“Do not just touch me for no reason if you don’t want to be tossed out,” Law told him flatly and Nami and Zoro exchanged a quick look.
They could only pity the Shichibukai in that moment; this man really didn’t know Luffy well enough, yet. If he did, he would know better than to phrase it like that. The two of them just knew Luffy would take his words as a challenge.
Especially if Law was going to look more embarrassed than angry about the whole thing.
As if to prove them right, Luffy grinned in that impish way of his and walked over to drop himself in the seat right next to Law, then leaned against his side in the most defiant fashion he could possibly muster. Law’s eye twitched before he dropped Luffy onto the tanker again.
And so, a war over Law’s personal space begun—much to the chagrin of the rest of the Straw Hats who were forced to deal with the two captains acting like children. By the time they set sail, Luffy had made it his mission to jump at Law during any unguarded moment, while Law did hid best to prevent this—or to punish Luffy in case he succeeded—by using his power to move the other pirate to progressively more and more ridiculous places on the Thousand Sunny. This resulted in more than one person almost getting attacked by Law when he thought Luffy was coming for him, and several other people getting scarred for life when Luffy would suddenly pop out of their closet; or when he momentarily became a part of the aquarium’s decorations.
It was a stressful time for everyone involved. At least Law had quickly learned that interrupting Nami’s afternoon drink with sudden devil fruit user rescue missions was not a good idea if he valued his life and money.
Thankfully, after some boundaries were established, everyone quickly got used to the new normal and the crew could finally appreciate how funny watching the two of them fight actually was.
As most of the crew slowly filed out of the kitchen behind her, Nami stopped by the staircase to casually lean against the railing. She took a moment to watch with amusement while Luffy and Law bickered on the deck down below once again, with Luffy taking full advantage of his rubber limbs in his latest attempt to hug the other pirate. Nami couldn’t help but chuckle at the light pink dusting of a blush on Law’s cheeks while he tried to push Luffy, who only continued to laugh and tease him, away; the Surgeon of Death really was a lot cuter than he tried to make everyone believe.
It was honestly adorable. Law was obviously getting used to Luffy touching him, the vigor with which he was fighting back was dwindling quickly, while the time between Luffy first grabbing at him and Law using his power on him was getting longer. The longer she watched them, the more it looked like Law was complaining just to save face anymore.
Carefully folding the paper she was holding in her hands and tucking it away in the secret pocket in the cleavage of her dress, Nami smiled to herself. The page, which was filled with the notes on who bet on what and how much, was only put together moments ago without the two captains’ knowledge but honestly, what did they expect? A betting poll was only one small step away once the crew’s surprised shouts and cursing turned into laughs and rolled eyes.
There were tips for where Luffy would appear next. Whether Law would first dump Luffy in the sea or if he was rather going to jump there himself. Whether Luffy would first lose all his limbs before Law went crazy or the other way around.
And, most importantly, whether the two of them would finally kiss and get together before the crew got to Dressrosa, after they got out, or if they would just keep dancing around each other like a pair of idiots for the rest of their lives. It was honestly ridiculous, the way they had been flirting since the moment they had ran into each other in front of Caesar’s lab, the romantic tension so thick it was making Nami flustered. But really, it was worth it to be able to watch Law’s defenses quickly crumble in the face of Luffy’s stubbornness and his bright, honest smiles.
With a sigh, Nami regretted not carrying a visual Den Den Mushi everywhere. If she had one on her, she could have taken pictures for future blackmail; she was sure Torao would buy her whatever she wanted to keep anyone from seeing how he smiled when Luffy finally managed to wrap his arms around his waist, or how he briefly ran his hand through Luffy’s hair before he—unsuccessfully—attempted to pry the rubber bouncing ball off of him in the most half-hearted way imaginable.
Oh well; judging by how these two lovesick idiots were acting, she could probably live without the blackmail since it looked like she was on great track to win this bet.
She smirked, tracing the outline of the folded paper in her pocket with her thumb. Hopefully, she was going to be rich soon. And if they blew this for her, she would find some other way to make them buy her that new cartography desk she wanted.
And then, she would lock them together in the Shark Submerge III until they actually confessed.

LawLu Week 2020: Solitude
“It's a deep and silent night
I can't hear anything,  sleeping for eternity 
Grief, fury, enveloped in a maelstrom and the roaring cries as well
Losing my way in the darkness with no voice, I kept fading out
Cheating each other and even betraying
It was all completely meaningless​
It's a deep and silent night I can't hear anything,
everything lied dormant
Thus the world repeats itself again
A ruthless dream”
Silent Solitude By OxT
some painting practice

Buried Deep
When Law felt a hat suddenly pressed on his head, he turned his eyes from the night sky he had been contemplating and looked up at the smiling boy behind him. That straw hat was Luffy’s treasure, and he only allowed his closest friends and loved ones to wear it.   Law felt a vertigo feeling, the stars whirling around him and mixing with the leaves gently falling from the maple trees surrounding them in a sparkling blur of golden and brown colours. He attributed the dizziness to his still-healing injuries and exhaustion—the battle against Kaido had almost killed him—but deep inside, he knew the reason for that sudden sensation lied elsewhere. However, he wasn’t ready to call it by its actual name yet: that word had stayed silently buried under the snow for years, and digging it up would require energies he didn’t have right now.   “Shishsishi, it’s ok if you need more time to recover.” Luffy helped him lay down. They enjoyed the quiet night together for a while, but soon Luffy fell asleep at his side, looking innocent as a child.   Sleep well, Mugiwara-ya. Law smiled and covered him with his warm feather coat.
A double-drabble for the LawLu Week @lawlu-week, inspired by the “stargazing”, “treasure”, “vertigo (dizzy)”, and “falling leaves” prompts. The setting is post-Wano, and I hope you can enjoy this one-shot even if it’s really short!

Day Four: Betrayal
It's true that most alliances between pirates end in Betrayal. Law didn't want this one to end that way.
TW: major character death
Word Count: 2.2k
"Law!" The shriek that echoed across the battlefield made Law's ears ring. Law spun around, looking for the source. They had been yelling his name but there was too much going on. Then Nami was by his side. Something in his stomach turned when he saw the look on her face. Panic set in Law's chest and his hands shook, Law clutched his sword tight.
"Where's Luffy?"
"Up there!" Nami's voice hitched with panic and Law looked up. Luffy was falling from the top floor of Kaido's palace. Where the big fight had been. Law knew he should be up there with Luffy but he got caught up in all this chaos on the way there.
"He's not moving..." Nami said.
"Room!" Law didn't hesitate. Luffy was far away but if Law learned anything in Dressrosa it was that he could push his room far beyond its limits. He brought Luffy to them. Law just hoped that this was a repeat of Dressrosa, and Luffy just need that cool down.
That wasn't the case, and Law knew it as soon as he laid eyes on Luffy. He was beaten beyond recognition. What wasn't bruised was covered in blood. Nami gasped.
"Luffy!"
"Where's Tony-ya!?" Law asked. He'd need all the help he could get. Luffy looked worse than he had after the war and Law just hoped to any god that might exist that all that blood wasn't Luffy's.
"I don't know," Nami muttered, though she was looking around.
"Help me get him out of here, it's not safe!" Law said he was already picking Luffy up, pulling Luffy's arm over his shoulder. Nami did the same and they dragged Luffy into the wreckage and hid in a building Law was certain wasn't structurally sound.
That didn't matter right now.
Nami and Law laid Luffy down on the ground. Law took Luffy's wrist, his hands shook as he tried to find a pulse. Part of Law didn't want to for fear of not finding one.
Law didn't need another person he loved dying. He couldn't take that again. Another loved one dying because of his own stupid choices. But he found it, Luffy's pulse, it was faint, but there. Law sighed in relief.
"Is he..."
"No, not yet anyway, I need Tony-ya," Law said. He couldn't do this on his own.
"I'll find him!" Nami said. "Just keep Luffy alive until then!" Nami said. "He's going to live!"
Law wasn't so sure about that. Law opened his room. He'd do what he could for now but he needed the supplies he knew Chopper had, and he needed Chopper's help.
"You won't die here," Law muttered. "I promise..." Law clenched his jaw, trying to keep his lip from trembling.
Law focused on Luffy, his beaten and bruised body. Luffy should have had broken bones from how badly he was beaten, he shouldn't be alive.
Luckily for the both of them, that devil fruit had Luffy's back.
But the internal bleeding was beyond belief. Luffy was going to bleed out and Law wasn't sure what he could do even with Chopper's help. Law closed his room. He'd need as much energy as he could get to save Luffy when Chopper got there.
Law heard footsteps coming towards him. It was way too soon for Nami to be coming back. Law drew his sword and pressed himself against the wall next to the entrance.
No way in hell was Law going to let any harm come to Luffy right now. Law heard the footsteps right on the other side of the entrance and swung his sword.
It was met by another sword. One he recognized. Wado Ichimoji.
"Roronoa?" Law asked. He still couldn't see the sword's wielder.
"Trafalgar," Zoro responded. Law lowered his sword and Zoro stepped into the doorway.
"L-Luffy!" Zoro gritted his teeth as he sheathed his own sword.
"He's in worse condition than he was during the war," Law admitted. Zoro looked over at Law with his eye wide.
"What does that mean?"
"I was barely able to save him then," Law said, sheathing his sword. He sat on the ground next to Luffy.
"Is he going to die?" Zoro asked with a sullen voice. His eye was glued to Luffy.
"I don't know," Law admitted. His voice cracked and Law cleared his throat through to cover it up. He pulled the brim of his hat over his eyes. Luffy wasn't dead yet.
"Law!" That was Chopper's voice this time.
Chopper came running into the room and Nami was right behind him.
"How is he—" Chopper stopped dead in his tracks. "Oh no."
"Chopper!? What does that mean!?" It was Zoro that asked, well, more of, demanded.
"Law?" Chopper looked over at him.
"I don't know if we can save him," Law admitted to all three of him. "The internal bleeding is bad, and if all that blood is his, is a miracle he's not dead already." Law bit back his own feelings as he spoke.
"We can!" Chopper insisted, he went to the other side of Luffy and kneeled on thr ground next to him. "We'll save him, no matter how bad it is."
Chopper spoke with confidence as he pulled off his backpack filled with medical supplies.
"You guys keep watch outside, we need to the most stable environment we can get," Law ordered. Not even Zoro hesitated to follow Law's command. He and Nami went outside, ready to do whatever it took to defend this make-shift operating room. Law's room opened up behind them and all there was left to do was hope Chopper and Law were skilled enough to save Luffy.
No words passed between Nami and Zoro but the tension was there.
Funny that Nami and Zoro were the ones standing here. They had come a long way since the three of them sailed on those two dingies in the East Blue. To think that could all end in just a few minutes was absurd. Luffy couldn't die, not here.
Not when he could have died in Logue Town on that execution platform. Then, it was like God himself intervened to keep Luffy alive. Zoro remembered it clear as day. He and Sanji had been so far away and that lightning had left the taste of metal on his tongue.
Meanwhile, Law and Chopper had gotten most of the external wounds cleaned up. That was the easy part. Law didn't think all of the blood was Luffy's. He had a wound on the side of his head, some cuts on his arms and legs, and some scraped up knuckles. But the scar over his chest was open again. Not as bad as it had been during the war but it was still bad.
The real challenge was the internal bleeding still. Law was worried about cutting Luffy open in this hut of a building. It wasn't sanitary at all. But they didn't have a choice. Law just did what he could to keep the dust settled in on the floor in his room. Luckily Chopper had a lot of rubbing alcohol in that bag of his.
"Oh god," Chopper's face contorted into the definition of worry the moment he saw the damage.
It was so much worse than Law thought. Maybe Law had been denying the severity earlier out of panic.
"Law—" Chopper looked up at him and Law could see the doubt ridden in his face.
"Don't think about that!" Law snapped, he was already working with what he could. Luffy was a miracle worker and what they needed right now was that miracle. I felt like hours they were in there.
Finally, when Chopper and Law got Luffy all bandaged up, it seemed like it was all over. But Law couldn't convince himself that Luffy would be okay.
Chopper put a wet rag over Luffy's face. Law's hands were covered in blood now. He got to his feet and headed to the battered doorway.
"Roronoa, Nami," Law called. They were standing a few feet away, eyes on the somewhat distant battlefield.
Both of them spun around.
"We're done, he's alive," Law said. Though it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself of that.
"Is he awake?" Nami asked. Law shook his head. The three of them went back inside. Chopper was securing some of the bandages.
"What now?" Zoro asked, looking to Law.
"We wait for him to wake up," Law said.
"He can't go back into battle!" Chopper said.
"I know that," Law snapped, he was on edge and worried.
"He will anyway," Zoro said. "You know he will."
Law didn't say anything to that. Zoro was right. There was no doubt about that.
"Luffy!" Chopper exclaimed. Luffy was sitting up, rubbing his head.
"Where am I?" Luffy muttered, looking around the room Luffy started coughing, he covered his mouth with his hand. His coughs were harsh and dry. Law winced at it. Luffy's hand was covered in blood when he pulled away.
There's blood in his lungs.
"Oh, everything hurts," Luffy whimpered, Luffy clutched his stomach and pulled his knees up to his chest.
"Luffy, stop moving so much, you'll reopen all your wounds!"
Law could feel it, Luffy slipping away in his room.  It was like watching a Vivire card burn. It didn't seem real especially since Luffy was right next to him, awake, breathing, talking. A thought crossed his mind and Law made a decision immediately.
"Luffy-ya," Law said quietly. Law couldn't keep the tears from his eyes.
"Torao!" Luffy grinned. "I didn't realize you were here! You saved me again, huh?"
"No," Law muttered, his voice cracked. He could feel Luffy's life in his room, it was weak and getting more faint compared to Zoro's, Nami's, and Chopper's. Luffy's life always seemed to overpower everyone else when Law opened up a room. Not now. "You're dying."
"What!?" Chopper, Zoro, and Nami all shouted at him.
Luffy looked over at Law and blinked.
"Huh," Luffy muttered, he looked down at his body. "Is that why everything hurts so much?"
"Probably," Law said. Luffy started coughing again.
"Ugh, that hurts!" Luffy grumbled when he was done.
Luffy leaned against Law's side. Law was a little surprised but didn't say anything. "Sorry, guys." Luffy looked over at Nami and Zoro with a smile, then Chopper with that same smile.
"Don't go saying stupid shit," Zoro huffed. "You're not dying, you just need rest!"
Law didn't expect that to come from Zoro. Nami or Chopper maybe, but not Zoro.
"You're right about one thing, Roronoa," Law said. "I won't let him die here."
"Torao, what are you talking about?" Luffy muttered.
"I can still save you," Law muttered to him. He wasn't sure if the others heard him but he didn't care about that.
"You're thinking of that thing that Mingo wanted!" Luffy sat up and glared at Law. "I won't let you! I'd rather die!"
"Luffy-ya—"
"NO!" Luffy snapped. "You're not dying for me and I don't want to live forever! I'll die right here if I have to!"
"Luffy!" Law bit.
"What are you guys talking about?" Nami demanded. Luffy started coughing again and Law could feel Luffy's life fading still. He was barely hanging on it was a surprise Luffy was even conscious.
"My devil fruit has the ability to grant someone eternal life," Law said. Silence settled over the three strawhats while Luffy kept hacking up blood. "At the cost of my own life."
"Law—" Chopper started to say.
"Zoro!" Luffy met his first mate's eye. "Don't let Law do that thing no matter what happens, captains orders!"
Zoro's eye widened but he took a deep breath and nodded. "Aye, captain."  Law gritted his teeth. He expanded his room as wide as he could get it.
"I'm not letting you die, Luffy-ya, I don't care what that means, you won't die here!"
"Torao why are you being such a bastard!?" Luffy growled.
"Because I love you!" Law snapped. Law swapped himself and Luffy for some rocks to get them away from the rest of the strawhats. Law closed the room as soon as they were away.
"Torao!" Luffy growled, he punched Law but it was feeble. Luffy started hacking up blood again. He got to his feet.
"I'll fight you if I have to Torao, you won't do that!" Luffy insisted.
"You couldn't even fight a blade of grass right now," Law pointed out.
"I don't care!" Luffy screamed.
Law drew his sword and pointed at Luffy.
"Nico-ya was right," Law said. "Pirate Alliances end in betrayal."
"Room!"
"TORAO NO!" Luffy screamed.
Law could hear Zoro coming around the corner.
"Law!" Zoro shouted. But it was too late, Law did what he had to do. He could feel Zoro's blade on his back but it didn't matter. Law fell to the ground and his room collapsed.
"Torao! You stupid bastard, wake up!" Luffy shouted he straddled Law's body and pulled his jacket into his first.
"Torao!" Luffy's voice cracked. He could feel it though. His body didn't ache anymore. He had a lot more energy than he did before. "What about your crew!? God damn it TORAO!"
Luffy got to his feet. "DAMN IT, DAMN IT!" Luffy shouted out fo frustration, he paced back and forth, trying to fight the tears in his eyes. Law wasn't supposed to die.
This wasn't supposed to happen again.
