If Rocinante Never Met Sengoku
Part 13: True Name
Law sat outside in the garbage. Normally he would be plotting on how to prank Corazon. But today he Corazon beat him to it. Just a few hours ago, Law was minding his own business, Baby5 and Buffalo were talking to him in the kids room back at the base and Corazon came in and just threw him outside after he tripped! Of course that only made things unfair, sure they did their pranks but the blonde never threw him several floors! Was he actually trying to kill him?!
Law had to repay to the blonde somehow. He tried thinking of something. Maybe he could swap out all of his weapons? Maybe put all the bread and pizza in his food? No ideas. At least none that would make their score even. His anger was clouding his judgement, being thrown out a window into the garbage and bleeding brought back memories from his childhood. He didnât want to remember them, he didnât want to think about what had happened to his family and friends.
A few days later Corazon was reading the newspaper outside. Maybe he could get some information on what the marines were doing and what he had missed. So far not a lot had changed but it was still good to keep updated, especially now that there was a troublesome brat here. It was around the fourth page when he heard a creaking noise behind him, before he could turn there was a something in his chest, just a few inches from where his heart was. He recognized the feeling, it was a knife. And it only went deeper, whoever it was knew what they were doing.
âOh crap you broke the blood law! Iâm so telling!â
âThat sounded like Buffalo.â
Corazon glanced behind him only for a moment to see what was happening. Of course it would Law. A part of him was surprised the kid went this far.
Doffy was gonna kill the kid.
Law had attempted to run. Attempted being the key word. He was caught by two members of the Family who brought him straight to Doflamingo who was sitting in a chair just looking at him. Law looked around until he spotted Corazon sitting in another chair beside Doflamingo. Did he miss? He shouldnât have! It was the damn coat, if he didnât have that stupid feathered coat on Law couldâve killed him!
Corazon hung his head low and his arms crossed covering the wound. He was thinking of to get both him and the kid out of this situation. If Doflamingo found out the kid would die sooner. He listened to the words coming from his brotherâs mouth, none were threats, they only compared the boy and him. Saying how similar they were, and how he recognized the hatred in Lawâs eyes. Corazon started feeling uncomfortable at that, he didnât enjoy the thought of there possibly being two Doffyâs.
His wound started hurting too much, and a cough escaped his mouth. As he moved his arms to use a hand to cover it.
âWhat happened?â Doflamingo asked
Corazon pulled out a piece of paper and wrote: âenemyâ
âDid you take care of him?â
âFinished him offâ Corazon wrote
He could feel Lawâs eyes on him, the kid definitely had questions,
âGood. Get patched up.â Doflamingo said leaning away
Corazon sat in his room wrapping bandages around the stab wound. He tried to ignore all the other scares he had he tried ignoring all the other scares scattered on his arms and torso those were reminders that he was weak.ïżŒ
âDo you need help Corazon?â
Corazon glanced over his shoulder, Doflamingo stood in the doorway staring at him. Corazon was good at patching himself up. And Doflamingo had told him to. Of course that was probably for the role of âcaptainâ and this was Corazonâs big brother speaking now. He pulled out a sheet of paper that said âyesâ on it.
Doflamingo walked forward and took control of the bandages. Corazon sat still with his head lowered and his hat covering his head.
âYou did a good job with the bandages so far.â
Corazon nodded at the compliment
Doflamingo wrapped the bandaged around Corazonâs shoulder and the other tensed up, Doflamingo told him to relax in order for him to continue. The rest of the time was spent in silence. Corazon was never one to ask for help, not from his brother, not from the family, or from any of the other people working for his brother. He preferred to do it by himself, so when Doflamingo was wrapping his wound it felt like Corazon was being a burden.
After the older male was done, he stood up and walked to face the younger one. Lifting his head with one hand Doflamingo smiled.
âIf you ever need me to kill someone, I will.â
Corazon forced a smile and nod.
â
Corazon sat outside reading the newspaper, it was the second relaxing thing he had. The kids were in ear shot behind him, though he didnât know why, they werenât that far away from the base. The newspaper was interesting, apparently the marines had marked Law as âmissingâ and there was more news on the revolutionary armyâs actions. Corazon always found that group interesting, he half the time wondered what they did, and what their leader did to become the most wanted man. Flipping through a few more pages he was almost done with his paper.
âYea but I never asked for your real names!â Law snapped
âOh come on!â Baby5 whined
âOk fine!â Law groaned, he hated that. That was probably the main thing he hated about her, she reminded him to much of her.
âItâs Trafalgar Water D. Law, but donât tell anyone Iâm not really supposed to-â
âBoringggâ Baby5 said
âYouâre the one who asked!!â He snapped
Before the other kids or him could say anything he was already a few feet in the air being carried away by an angry blonde man. Law was yelling and squirming around to escape his hold but failed. They were walking for who knows how long, and Law was yelling trying to get someoneâs attention as he moved around. They only stopped when they were in an alley.
Sorry for it being short! Working on a side story, canât make promises about the next chapter being long or having a decent update! Hope you enjoyed
