Ok maybe Iām just not looking in the right places but I have not been able to find a fic where Law stays under the effect of the calm-calm fruit after Coraās death, and I just think thatās a right shame, itās such a cool concept! And yes obviously I know it wouldnāt work in canon, both because it didnāt and because of the whole āyou pass out and everything youāve ever done with your fruit is undoneā (which I personally think is ridiculous but Oda will be Oda), but when have we ever cared whatās canon and whatās not? Itās fanfiction! Thatās the whole dang point! If it was canon we wouldnāt need to write it ;) Back on topic, I just think itād be really interesting, add another layer or five of angst on top of Lawās already nightmarish life, no one living but the Donquixote family has ever heard his voice, if we go with flevance having its own accent or even language it means the knowledge of his peopleās words was lost even though heās still alive, if he at some point had kids they wouldnāt have the flevance accent, they wouldnāt even know what it sounded like! And there might even be a hint of comfort in the sea of bitterness, because Cora lied to him, died for him, took his voice from him in death, and yet that silence will always remain with him, Cora will always remain with him. And I imagine there have been several times in his life that silence has saved him, a last parting gift, masking his footsteps, hiding his sharp breaths, keeping him safe when he was being hunted. Iām sure there have also been plenty of moments itās nearly gotten him killed, just imagine if he fell in the ocean, wouldnāt be able to scream, wouldnāt even be able to splash to make noise with the charm affecting his active sounds, or if he was locked somewhere, canāt call for help, canāt bang on the walls. It must have been a curse more than anything, but in those few moments it was a life saving blessing⦠I just think itās such a fun concept, and am disappointed no one has written it :(
