A Cook, A Doctor, A Ghost and A Ronin.

Play Nice

"Back at the Entertainment District as far as the lot of you know, a battle broke out between the Upper Moon Six and Uzui, the doctor alongside  the shitty cook." Zoro begins to explain. Although he didn't understand why he has to explain about all of this. He didn't even participate in that battle yet he's the one who had to explain everything.

Moreover, he's the only one who opposed in taking the siblings in back then when they all voted on whether should they gave the demons in their basement a sanctuary. Law simply made that deal because of lack of information regarding other Upper Moon. Brook believed that the siblings could have a second chance in their life, a redemption to be exact.

Shitty cook? He's only in because he thought he got a chance with Daki and won't do anything to mess it up. Well, the plan backfired on him. Doflamingo just finds it amusing and immediately agreed to it out of a whim. Only Zoro opposed the idea and why he's the one who had to explain in their behalf?

All of the Hashiras listened intently before deciding to make a decision. They figured they should listen to their reason before making a judgement. They may be able to vote on banishing the Voyagers, but Ubuyashiki holds the veto power.

"The demons were quickly slain by them, or so all of you thought. The demons who were thought to be killed, was actually alive and well." Zoro pointed at the two demons that quickly stole the spotlight. 

"They were taken away after getting beaten black and blue. We dragged them into our damp basement and get locked up for days. To be fair, I didn't even knew about this until I was told about it." Zoro shot a glare at Law who's the mastermind of this plan. The surgeon could see the two to be pretty useful. 

"It's your turn, Tra-guy." Zoro grabbed Law and pushed him in front, prompting the surgeon to continue filling in and continue the story. Law avoid having an eye contact with Zoro. He could tell that Zoro clearly hated him for this. He hide his facial expression under his polka dot hat. Maybe it's time for him to come clean.

"Say, what did you do behind our back?" Giyuu asked what happened in the backstage while other Hashiras celebrate their victory back at Uzui's retirement ceremony. Giyuu reckon that they had many more secrets that they hid.

"I cut them to pieces, and dragged them to the basement underneath our house. Thus, rather than just killing them, I figured that it's much more profitable to make a deal with them." Law revealed to them his actual intent back when he restrained the two demons. Cutting them to pieces?! That sounds brutal! Mitsuri thought.

Some Hashiras knew that Law has a strange ability, where he were able to do almost anything inside the sphere that he created. Which is the ability that was first shown to every single member of the Demon Slayer Corps for the first time. The ability turned out to be quite useful in certain situations.

"Reveal everything that they know about Upper Moon and Muzan in exchange for freedom. That's the deal I gave them, and the result speaks for itself." Law was satisfied with the information that Gyutaro gave to him and had to admit that this actually worked.

"How could you do deals with demons? They do not have any sense of loyalty, morality, compassion and most importantly of all, humanity." Gyomei believed that demons are a complete opposite of humans. They kill, pillage, and destroy everything without any mercy. Not even a shred of mercy to women nor children that are innocent. 

"Just because they're not human, doesn't mean that they didn't have any humanity or compassion left in them. Because your origins doesn't dictate whether they're human or not. Don't you think so?" Brook intervene and decided to gave them a piece of his mind.

"As much as I would like to believe otherwise, demons cannot be trusted from what I've seen. They have no regard in lives, including the elderly nor children." Gyomei replied with a tone full of sorrow. 

His head is filled with memories of sorrow back when he was a monk and a caretaker of children. The demon killed those children without any mercy for their lives. Feeling enraged from that, he took down the demon, barehanded. Splattering the brain matters on the floor.

"Some of them, maybe. But I believe that some of them deserved a second chance." Brook agreed with Gyomei for the most part. But he personally believed that everyone has a chance of redemption.

"Should I have to remind all of you were did I get this piece of intel from? If it weren't for them, we wouldn't even dream of getting this kind of information first hand." Law pointed at each and every one of their notebooks that Law had given to them. 

Some didn't know what should they reply with, since what Law said is correct. Accurate information about Upper Moon isn't something that could be obtained easily. They may be the only Hashira who had ever had a knowledge about them without actually meeting them face to face.

"Still, making a deal with demons is too big of a gamble. They're unpredictable, dangerous." As much as Muichiro could understand that they had to do something to ensure victory, trusting demon as an ally is something easier to be said than done.

"What the airhead just said is right. They can't be trusted. What's stopping them from running back to Muzan with their tail between their legs?" Sanemi remarked. Muichiro turn around and look at the Wind Hashira with his blank face. 

"What did you just call me?" Muichiro would like to hear that came from Sanemi again. Although his request is being ignored.

"Well, that's been taken care off for these two." Zoro is slightly relieved that all of the attention earlier towards him has been directed to Law. The Hashiras raised their eyebrows. They're naturally curious at how they managed to tame these demons.

"Since they failed, there's no going back to Muzan. Their position had likely been filled and replaced by other demon instead. The thing about being and Upper Moon is that failure.....isn't an option. Unless you're one of the big three." Gyutaro and Daki gritted their teeth. Zoro didn't hold back when it comes to words.

The Hashiras understood what Zoro's trying to say. Muzan isn't known for being merciful, even for his own lackeys. A slightest mistake, and you shall have to pay it with your own life. Muzan didn't care the slightest for the Upper Moon except for their strength. They're just tools for him to use and command in order to get what he wants. Nothing else matters.

"We gave them a bit of freedom to move around our mansion. But not without a catch. See the collars on their neck? One wrong move, and they will be injected by concentrated wisteria poison. They'll be dead before they even know it." Law explains what the collars around their neck are meant for.

"So, play nice alright?"
