The Devil's Grin - A One Piece Fanfic (Snail-like Updates)

Why Wait?

D found himself in a metal hall standing before a door of the same material. Instead of a doorknob to open the door it had a wheel. As he reached for the wheel a bear wearing an orange jumpsuit came running down the hall.

"Hey D!" the bear paused surprised to see him.

"Sup Bepo." He grinned. "Where's Law?"

"He's in the operation room." Bepo answered before he continued to where ever he had been headed.

D groaned as he began heading to the well known place. It seemed like Law spent most of his time there. The scene he found when he entered was just as he had expected.

The room shimmered with a blue glow revealing the effects of Law's room. Said user of the Op-Op fruit stood beside a stainless steel table, sharp surgical knives in his hands. On the table in front of him lay several opened chests which he occasionally poked and prodded as the organs inside still moved with life. Chained to the ceiling and walls were limbs wiggling as they frantically tried to escape their bonds. And to finish the scene were shelves of jars with gagged heads trying to cry for help or death. It was hard to tell with the gags.

"This place always looks like the opening scene of a horror movie." D flinched as a hanging arm nearly caught hold of him. "It makes me wonder if taking you to the Secret Medical Society all those years ago was such a good idea."

"You better not have brought me a random patient this time," Law said over his shoulder still not taking his eyes off his work.

"I keep telling you. That was me from centuries ago. You can tell by my cloak and hair what time I'm from when I visit. Or you can ask questions about current events." D explained with a shrug as he swiped a jar with eyes in them. When he did they all swiveled to look at him causing him to wrinkle his nose.

"Tell me where you just came from then?" Law asked curiously.

"From a party celebrating the successful escape from Enis Lobby as it burned."

The sound of tools clattering on the table echoed around the metal walls.

"What?!" Law turned around, his attention no longer on his task. "What idiot would even go there?"

"Name's Monkey D. Luffy captain of the StrawHat pirates." D grinned as he introduced Luffy. "And his dream is to become the King of the Pirates."

But Law wasn't listening anymore. Instead he was searching through several stacks of papers, bounties by the look of it. As he searched he kept mumbling 'Monkey'.

"He doesn't have any brothers?" He asked as he found the page he was looking for.

"Not blood related. It's kinda complicated."

"He looks just like John." He noted. "Is that your hat as well?"

"Yah." D smiled softly as he looked at the bounty picture. "What are the odds that out of all the millions of people in the world one of his own descendants would eat his fruit hundreds of years later?"

"You really moved through time," Law breathed.

"You doubted me?" D chuckled.

"Even with the things I can do time travel still seems impossible."

"What's in your room by the way?" D asked. "When I arrived I was drawn there instead of where you was."

"You've got a guest waiting in there," Law answered. "Why'd you come anyways?"

"To tell you about Luffy. He may be the one your looking for," D answered. "He already took down a Warlord in Alabasta and with Enis Lobby his bounty is going to jump again. Though I doubt the Government will admit that he was responsible for either of those. They already gave credit to one of their captains for the Warlord."
