The light of the stars | Law x Reader

Welcome to wonderland

It was quiet and everything was still. The sky was all blue, no clouds nearby. A light breeze moved his blonde hair out of his face. Sanji was staring intensely at his hands. On his wrists, thin golden cuffs, almost like jewelry. Although pretty, it didn't bear such happy meaning. He was trapped, unwillingly back with his family, to endure a destiny he once thought to have desired. Now he knew his heart had changed.

He suddenly ran his hands through his hair, ruffling it in frustration. After everything he had done and discovered . . . When finally things seemed to be alright, his past had to come and drag him to the bottom.

"Happiness is not what I deserve, is it?"

Three parties sailing towards the lands of one of the Emperors of the sea. At one point they were destined to meet and face the fears they'd long carried in silence. What was so scary about it in the first place? Even if their strings were moved by outside forces, the real battles were far more personal, painfully intimate . . . and still, something was broken between them.

Some of them had abandoned the hope of ever finding happiness. They knew it didn't matter how much they fought for it, it wasn't their destiny.

That's what the young prince of the Vinsmoke family thought of his future. Engaged to someone he didn't even know, all to satisfy a family who had never loved him.

The newest member of the Donquixote family thought quite the same. A promising star that had to submit to the desires of his new captain, unable to see the ones she truly cherished.

The same disheartening belief roamed the Supernova's head. A captain that had failed his loved ones, over and over again because of his selfish mindset.

3 days before the wedding

As the Straw Hats approached the domain of Big Mom, they had to plan a way to sneak in and get you and Sanji out of there without any major complications. First they had to get to the main island without being noticed. Something easier said than done.

Arriving at one of the outer islands of the Yonko's terrain, the miscellaneous group was amazed at what they encountered.

"WHAT?!" Luffy cried out blown away at what he was witnessing. "Everything's made of food??!!!"

"Woah, there must be some trees made of cotton candy, right?" Chopper asked hungrily.

Nami scolded them, reminding them the importance of the mission at hand. She examined the terrain, also shocked at the materials at display, but still focused on getting what they needed. She looked back at the Thousand Sunny. Although they docked at a hidden location, she still had reservations leaving it on its own.

"Someone should stay here in case the enemy gets too close to the ship" She claimed. "And also watch Caesar so he doesn't do any funny business"

Corazon was about to offer himself, but Law stopped him. "Your silence power may come in handy . . . And you would probably blow up the ship, somehow"

"I'm not that clumsy" The tall man sighed.

"We could stay" Penguin spoke up, talking for him and his comrade. Brook decided to join the 'watching the boat' crew. The rest accepted and began to head deep into the island.

And so, the three men remained there, watching their friends go on an adventure.

Penguin stared at Law as the pirates vanished in the distance. He saw how happier he was now that Corazon was back, just like he was with you. Was he finally changing for the better, or was it just a phase? Was he going to change demeanor once he noticed his walls were gone? Penguin hoped not, but he could never be certain.
