He was intriguing. That was a word you could describe Trafalgar Law as. With his expression hidden behind that hat and his seemingly elaborate plans, there's no question he is.
At first when you had met him in the bustling groves of the Sabaody Archipelago you wouldnt have guessed he would become an ally.
The crew had split up, exploring the place known to be a stop for both pirates and nobles alike. You had ended up exploring the market for something new to wear, this time with your own money instead of borrowed money from Nami that lead to a perilous amount of interest.
Little did you know that you were as famous as your bounty poster suggested, bumping into crews that not only knew your friends but also you too.
First impressions matter, no matter where you are and who you're dealing with and the first thing you said when your gaze fell on him there was certainly a lasting impression.
The dark circles, the goatee, the large hat and especially the jeans.
The Surgeon of Death
"You look like a backalley doctor."
Not only did he look shocked, but also offended. Mainly because his own crew were hiding their guffaws horribly, seeing the vision of what you meant.
This was before everything had gone haywire and crews were forced to claw their way out of the doors of death from which Admiral Kizaru and the Pacifistas had the keys to.
Now sitting on the chair beside Luffy in the hospital room aboard the Polar Tang, having flashes of the war playing through your mind left you unaware of the footsteps approaching. The so called "Surgeon of death" had become part of your usual routine, mainly checking on your wounds and informing you on your captain's condition.
You watched as he checked Luffy's vitals. You never left your friend's side since that day, not trusting anyone. Afterall, he was the only one in the crew who's state of being you were sure of.
"Are you going to keep glaring at me the whole time?" His voice broke through your thoughts as you absentmindedly watched him take out bandages he would use to redress Luffy's wounds
"Hm?"
He rolled up his sleeves, allowing more of those tattoos to be visible as he washed his hands. Your eyes fell on those inked hands that both saved lives as a doctor and the cause of unknown terrors as a pirate.
"You're worried about Strawhat-ya?" He stated, lifting Luffy's body as carefully as he could under your harsh gaze.
"Partly," You began, crossing your arms, " I'm curious. Why?"
Law felt something invisible wrap around his neck as soon as his hands had gone off of your captain. He had heard about one of the strawhats having a mysterious devil fruit. One that didn't need the beholder to even lift a finger.
He smirked, feeling your power pressing harder on his neck and allowing little air to flow through his body,"Why?"
Somehow he kept a somewhat confused expression despite the dire consequences of your actions.
"I'm not playing around, Trafalgar."
"I know you're not."
He had a chance to just throw you and Luffy out into sea. You were both anchors afterall. Turn you in for your bounties. Tortured us for treasure. Cut your organs up for whatever sick operations landed him the title he held.
So many questions in your vigilant mind .
"I felt like it," Law said, not being fully honest but also not lying. His eyes didn't leave your face, gauging out your reaction.
"Sounds like something a backalley doctor would say." You let go of him, watching as he took deep breaths to control the panic that he has hidden behind his calm facade.
"DINNERS READY!" a yell from somewhere aboard the ship had called out.
"Sorry for that." You said, no longer looking at him and instead focusing on your unconscious captain. Your fingers had intertwined with his, feeling his pulse at the wrist with your fingers to remind you that he was still alive, even after all the death and destruction of the war
Law hummed in thought, hands lingering on his neck before letting go of the initial threat to his life." I'll have dinner sent to you."
He walked out of the room to join his crew, leaving you to your thoughts as you guarded Luffy.
Two things were decided. One. You wouldn't leave your captain's side until he would wake up.
Two. Trafalgar Law found you just as intriguing.
