Savior -Luffy-

-13-

I felt myself struggling to keep Law from fidgeting when I was around. Right now, we were all in the old lab with the children, Zoro, Sanji in Nami's Body, Brook, and Kin'emon all off to find the missing torso that's at the bottom of the lake in a shark's mouth. I grunted when I felt Law's cold stare on the back of my neck.

"Alright, Trafalgar, meet me outside," I command while walking past him. He huffs and quietly does as told, his hand tight on his sword. "You have questions and I'll only give answers if I feel like I should." I waited for the first question as soon as we made it outside the busted lab.

"How much do you know?" It was a basic question, but it held a largely packed answer.

"Let me narrow it down: SAD, Cora, Joker/Doffy, Kaido, Vergo, and finally, Dressrosa." He hums before pursing his lips.

"Have you shared any of that information with Strawhat?" I shake my head. "Why?"

"For one, he doesn't care. Two, it's not my information to tell." I could see him relax with that response.

"I guess I have one more question for now. Can't promise I won't have more later."

"Of course."

"Will I succeed in what I plan for?" I smile wide and hold a finger to my lips with a small wink.

"Let's leave that a mystery for now," I comment before ignoring his pout and returning to the lab. Luffy immediately glared at Law when he saw us enter and I couldn't help the snicker that bubbled in my throat.

"Jealous, Captain?" I ask after approaching him fully. He hums in annoyance and wraps an arm around my waist to pull me closer.

"Yes." I lean over and kiss his cheek lovingly.

"I promise that nothing will happen with Law, Luffy. I don't love him as I love you."

"But you love him in some form," He points out. I sigh with a slight shrug.

"I love him like I do the rest of the crew. He's a very big character in this world who helps you in more ways than one and while he may hate it at first, you guys save his life many times." I look at him with sudden seriousness. "I need you to trust him wholeheartedly. No matter what he does, says, or claims, I need you to undoubtedly help him." He hesitates, searching my eyes for an answer, but he finally nods and gives in.

"You're a lot more serious after these two years apart," He mutters with a frown. "You used to be fun." Well, that kind of hurt.

"Am I not fun?"

"No." Before I can say anything, a gloved fist comes down on his head.

"You idiot!" Nami's voice called out from Sanji's body. "You're gonna hurt her feelings if you say that!" I mentally thanked Nami, trying to play off the incident quickly.

"No, he's right!" I laugh nervously. "I'm a lot less fun than I used to be."

"May..." Nami trails, staring at me.

"Everyone's changed in these two years, including me." I stand, brushing my legs off and swallowing thickly to try and ignore the hurt feeling I got from the conversation. "I just hope that mine was for the better." I walk away, Nami banging on Luffy relentlessly for offending me. I walk over to Usopp as he watches the scene unfold.

"Luffy say something stupid again?" He questions with a knowing tone. I sigh and fold my arms over my chest.

"When does he not," I reply. "The man is stubborn and an idiot who doesn't know when to quit. He also doesn't follow a single plan. When he says stuff it's like he has no idea what words can do to people."
