"Finally! Land. Beautiful land. I love you so much!" You exclaimed rolling around on the sand where the ship had finally reached the island.
"Geez name Chan. For someone who's made of water, you sure like land." Luffy bubbles, rolling with you.
"Hey, we go together like the elements okay." You counter, getting off the sand and dusting yourself off.
"But why aren't you getting muddy name?" Nami inquires, noticing your clean skin.
"Oh. Well to an extent, I can harden my body to block out dirt and stuff like that." You explain.
"Ooh. Thats really handy! Do you have money?" Nami questions.
You pull out a wad of cash you were storing in an air bubble from your body.
"Just this here."
"Perfect!" She exclaims grabbing your money and taking Robins arm." Let's go shopping!"
"I think I just got robbed." The crew sweat dropped at your statment. Zoro went in a direction opposite of the town, mostly likely trying to find a bar or sword place. Sanji went to the grocer to acquire more food for their continuous journey, and chopper went with him. Bepo,Sacchi and penguin have already disappeared before you could see where they went and Luffy and Ussop ran screaming for meat. Franky stayed behind to check the ship for possible repairs and Brooke stayed to accompany him.
If I counted correctly, that leaves one more person. You thought.
From the corner of your eye you saw just who you expected to see, the unemotional dark aura Law. Or thats what you heard others call him, and at some point Luffy called him Traffy. You couldn't really remember his last name since you weren't exactly on first name basis, but traffy sounded right. He seemed to be headed to town, and since everybody practically left you, you decided to tag along with him. You followed him at his heel, something he found annoying, but its not like you can see his expression anyways. You followed him to the entrance of the town until he stopped in his footsteps, causing you to crash right into his backside.
"Owch" you whimpered, rubbing your nose.
" Why are you following me?" He demanded rather coldly.
"I thought I'd follow you around today, Traffy." You shivered in response. He seemed displeased with the name you decided to call him, mumbling on how no one can ever say his name correctly. Continuing on doing what he originally planned he continued walking at a faster pace, trying to avoid your presence. This only backfired however when you picked up your speed as well."Hey Traffy. What cha up to?" You asked, trying to start a conversation with the stone cold man in front of you.
"None of your business." He replied dryly.
"Well since I'm following you around, I'm gonna find out eventually." You insisted, wanting to at least know the desintation to which you both were headed.
He only sighed in response, conflicted with your questions. Why would you want to follow a guy like him anyways, its not like he did anything out of the ordinary unlike Luffy and his crew. Why not follow one of them, you're bound to find something more interesting, going on one of their weird adventures instead. He finally found what he was looking for as he stood in front of a giant library, he had heard there were books here you couldn't get anywhere else and he intended on getting them, or at least reading them. That wouldn't be very possible though with you on his tail. He entered the huge palace of books, marveling at the stacks of binded paper on endless rows of selves. He immediately located the section he sought and began scanning the individual books for a peak of interest. He skipped a few and picked at some, placed the ones of no value back its its spot, rearranged a couple, and snatched the ones he wanted. This took him awhile until he was pleased with the amount in his hands, carrying them to a table to begin his reading. You however had disappeared when you both entered, so he took this moment of silence to sneak a few reads from his stack.You followed Law into the grand library, stunned by the sections of volumes. You glanced at Law to see him sparkling in front of the books before he made his way to a section of the library. Cute. You thought, quickly dispatching the thought as you explored the books as well. There were fantasy, mystery, nonfiction, history and all kinds of other genres. You could only catch a glimpse of the varieties of books. But there was only one set of books on your mind, manga. You raided the whole place in search of your perfered reading material until you finally found them. A huge section, dedicated only to manga, how it made you faint on the spot has you not wanted to read them. You skimmed through all the different series they had, finding your favorite one, or one you wanted to read, and taking a big handfull of them in your arms. It wasn't possible to carry anymore, and oh boy did you try. And took your stack, unsatisfied with the amount, as you couldn't hold anymore, and began your search for Law. It wasn't very likely that he would leave without you, but you couldn't be to safe. You made your way back to the entrance where the tables were set up. And sure enough, there was Law sitting at the farthest table near a window, reading from his selection of novels. You zigzaged your way to him, avoiding running into any chairs and sat in the seat right next to him. You didnt want to sit across from him because the table wasn't that wide, and would result in your books overlapping his, and you didnt want to upset him. So you decided to just sit next to him and place your books in front of you. You then scrambled to find the first chapter of the book you wanted to read, or the next book you were on, and began flipping the pages, making sure to observed every detail of the scene you came across. Law glance at you from time to time, wondering what the hell you were reading and if you only got the books because if the pictures. Which, I mean is sorta true, you perfered manga because the pictures offered a better description of what was taking place and happening, but you also enjoyed the plot line of it as well. Once you finished that book, you placed it in your read pile and began the search for the next book in your stack. He thought it was cute to see all the expressions you made when an emotional part came up, how you would smile at a happy part, and sniffle at a sad part, or become determined when the part called so. He stopped observing you and continued to read his book, until he was stopped half through.
"Hey Traffy, what are you reading?" You asked, piering over his book to make out the words of it. Your eyes adjusting to the unfamiliar organization of the novel compared to your manga.
He glanced your way before explaining it was a book on health and diseases. He seemed uncomfortable at the closeness you were at. A couple moments later a librarian came over to the table you both were sitting at.
"Hello there. Not very often do I get visitors in my library, much less a cute couple." We both choked on air from the lady's ignorance. Just as Law was gonna intervene, the librarian spoke again.
" I've brought you both juice boxes to enjoy while reading, try not to get the pages wet." She said in a sweet voice, disappearing just as quickly as she appeared.
"I didnt know we were a couple!?" You spoke aloud, wanting a reaction from the dark haired. He however pretended to not hear you as he drank from his juice box and continued reading. You're no fun you thought.
"Traffy!!!!" You stretched at his nickname leaning on him as he remained unphased.
"Trawwffeee" still nothing.
"Traf.
Tra.
Trafu.
Trafuul.
Trafullg.
Trafulggaaa."
You repeated, now trying to figure out his name more than get his attention. In the mist of your mumble jumble, you failed to notice the blush that had formed on his face from you repeatedly saying his name, saying it wrong, but nonetheless saying it. Then it hit you you. You finally figured out his name.
"Trafumuga!" You shout with the utmost pride you can must. Proud that you finally figured out the name of the person sitting next to you. However, to your dismay, Law laughed at your stupidity. How can someone fail so horribly at someone's name. You pouted at his mockery, secretly taking in the sound of his laughter. He stopped eventually and patted your head like someone would do to a child, and stood up. He collected his books and made his way to the counter to check out. On his way he turned back slightly and said,
"Why dont you call me Law if you're gonna fail so miserably with my last name, Y/n-ya." He said it so coolly.
At once you took back him being a cold hearted unemotional dark monster. Flustered by his words, you smiled, packed up your books and ran after him.Mom, I made a new friend today, I think. He may seem cold hearted, but he's really cool. His name is Law. I hope we can be good friends in the future. Keep watching over me.
