Broken- Lawlu {editing/ hiatus}

Chapter VII

"Luffy, how are you feeling?" Sanji asked as he walked into the room. It was 12pm and he was there to make dinner for them all. Luffy looked sad and hurt, but he shook his head and shrugged. "You don't know, huh?"

"Mm..." Luffy hummed and knitted his brows upwards in sadness. He tightened his fists as well, like he was getting ready for some sort of impact.

"Luffy?" Sanji asked and tried to reach out to touch him, but didn't. There was a weird sensation in the air. Something that was clearly telling him to fuck off. "I'm going to make dinner, I'll be back soon." Sanji sighed out and started to walk out from the room.

Law sat by the kitchen table and was playing a game on his phone. He was told by Sanji to leave the room as he wanted to talk with Luffy alone. Law noticed when Sanji came out and asked if everything was all right.

"Nah, didn't ask what I really wanted. But that's fine, I guess he's just too shaken up to answer my questions now." Sanji laughed out and then took out the things he needed to start cooking. Law hummed and then moved his gaze to the infirmary door where the younger was laying in.

Luffy felt tears prick his eyes. The voice told him to not talk to Law. But how would Luffy do that? Law asked many things since he wanted to help Luffy remember the incident, and he would probably get angry if he didn't answer them properly.

Suddenly Luffy heard footsteps and the door slowly opened up, revealing Law. Though Luffy couldn't see him, he could smell the coffee scent coming from the other.

"Mugiwara- ya? How are you feeling?" Law asked as he stood in the door. Luffy raised an eyebrow at the weird nickname and Law seemed to notice Luffy's questioning face and sighed. "It's a nickname, since Sanji- ya said the straw hat was your treasure."

Luffy eyes widened when Law said that and his gaze flew onto the older teen, though slightly to the right.

"My hat... Y- You..." Luffy mumbled and Law raised a brow to him.

"It's by the bedside. You want it?" Law asked and Luffy nodded harshly. Law walked up, took the hat and gave it to Luffy who hugged it tightly. "You really love it, huh?"

"Mm..." Luffy hummed and heard a low huff from the coffee smelling teenager. Did he laugh at him? "You don't have to laugh at me."

"Laugh? I didn't. I understand you, so don't worry." Law said and Luffy gave him a soft smile. Law stared at the smile for a while, until it disappeared from the younger's face. Law suddenly bent down and moved the bandages from Luffy's head and pressed his own forehead against Luffy's.

"What... Are you doing?" Luffy asked and Law sighed again. He really seemed to like doing that. Was Luffy being a nuisance to him?

"Was just checking if you had a fever." Law explained and Luffy hummed in confusion.

"O... Kay?" He said and Law then told him he was going to help Sanji bring the food inside the room. He noticed Luffy's atmosphere change drastically as he looked up and smiled. Law once again stopped moving thanks to that. When Luffy stopped smiling, and was about to ask Law why he wasn't going out, Law sprinted out of the room, leaving Luffy even more confused.

"Whut."

"Hey, Tashigi! Look at this!" Perona screamed and her sister ran up to her, together with their father, Mihawk, who was visiting.

A news headline on the paper had caught their attention.

"Bloodbath and dead bodies with ripped off faces and limbs found in Mt. Corvo. Evidence says that they might've been there for about a day." Perona read out and the three stared in shock at the picture on the left side. It was like something straight out from a horror movie.

-Mt. Corvo, the night after the rescue-

"W- WE'RE VERY SORRY, MASTER! PLEASE DON'T KILL US- GAH!" A gunshot made the man stop screaming all together. Everyone in the forest stood in silence as their master glared at them.

"Where are my subjects? I thought I had at least 13 children here, maybe even more!" The master yelled and they all gulped in fear.

"T- Two teens found them. Y- You heard P- Porchemy- san say t- that." One stuttered out but was shot as well.

"Where is the demon then?" The master asked, even more mad and ready to shoot everyone in front of him.

"The teens t- took him. H- He was severely h- hurt. T- The demon should wake up s- soon." Another guy said and the master dropped his arm, hand still gripping the gun. He laughed lowly as he thought about the demon's release.

"This should be entertaining..." He mumbled out and his laugh echoed throughout the forest, in front of the completely black, burnt house.

A male of about age 20 peered at them through some trees. His black, wavy hair flew on his freckled face as his usually dark brown eyes turned to light brown. Dimmed eyes, with no pupil nor highlights in them but still glowing. A voice in his head whispered lowly;

'Do it. They hurt him.'

Seconds later, a bloodbath broke out..
