Law pulled his hat over his eyes,he didn't want to be here,but when he turns and looks at the woman next to him he just sighs and relaxes. You were pulling at a lose string sticking off your jacket, you were meeting the owner of the orphanage. You frown,you remember the woman on the other side of the phone laughing at you, "You want one of these brats? Why? You'll just throw them back in here in the end anyways." You bit your lower lip.
"Relax.." You jump at the sound of his voice, you look over at him. "Think she'll recognize me..?" You said a bit fearfully, one of his eyebrows raise, "So what if she does?" He asked, you stare at him for a moment, "I guess it wouldn't matter..." you said finally. He just sighed and crossed his arms. Fifteen minutes later a woman walls into the room. She was an elderly woman,her brown hair mostly white . She raised an eyebrow at the sight of us, the wrinkles on here forehead became more notable at this gesture.
"Alittle young aren't you?" She asked, you frown,but quickly change it to a smile, " I suppose but,at least I'm sure." Your respond,she scoffs. " yeah right. Let's just go see which unlucky bastard child gets some brats as parents..." she says motioning to follow her, you glared at her, Law had to clear his throat and nudge you to get your attention. " Come on." "This bitch though..." He smirks at your reaction while shoving you forward. The orphanage was old and run down,it's amazing this place wasnt condemned. Dirty children kept running by, you tried to get a better look at them but they avoided your gaze. The older woman lead is to a courtyard like area, there were more children,but they barely glanced at you.
" No wonder they aren't getting adopted..." Law mutters earning a weak glare from you. He shuts up as the woman stops in the center of the yard, " Well look around take your pick." She says boredly, you glance around and walk up to the nearest kids, a short hair girl with curls brown locks, "Hi!" You greet with a smile but she just frowns and backs away. You keep trying to talk to the kids but they all treat you the same way, with anger,fear,and eyes full of mistrust, just like she was.
You were losing hope,sighing you leaned against a tree in the back of the yard. "Hey! Get away from our tree!" A high pitched voice yelled out from above. Gasping you sit up and look up to see a kid with short black hair he was glaring down at her. "o-oh sorry... " she said getting up,he guess and started at here for a minute before turning to go up the tree again. " Wait!" He turned around, "What?" He said annoyed. " U-uh I uh, w-whats your name? I'm (Name)." She said smiling. He looked confused for a moment then with a frown he says, "Luffy. "
"Are you the lady trying to take one of us home?" He asked,sitting on one of the lower branches. Your smile widens, one that's not glareing at you to death,sorta. "Yep! I mean,who would wanna be stuck here?" "My brothers are here." He answers,your smile wavers slightly. " Really? Hmm..." you thought for a moment, " Yep! Ace and Sabo. " he confirms. "...Would they come too? " you ask him, his eyes widen. No one offered to take all three of them.
He frowns and tilts his had to the side thinking. " I...think...so?" He say's slowly. You smile brightly, " Okay then! Let's go tell that old hag!" You say grinning. He looks down surprised but then grins, " She is an old hag!" He says laughing. He jumps down and smiled up at you. Law stood a little ways away sighing,"bonding by insulting the elderly...." he chuckles following after them.
