#implied lawlu

Luffy’s a God. Law’s a God. And Luffy realizes that the Night God is beautiful, but damn him if he wasn’t going to cause chaos in trying to talk to him.

As the last streaks of nightfall give way into sunrise, Luffy stretches wide and tall, jewelry tinkling and ringing together in a happy melody. He's watching the Night God stand and yawn, pettingt his celestial animal on its head. His staff clanks against the stone floor as he moves away from the pedestal. The earth is shifting, and Luffy rushes forward to sit at the warm stool, his lion following after him. 

He looks down at the earth, and he smiles. "Wonder how this day will go, eh, Sunny?" he asks cheerfully, hands reaching forward to grab at the globe. His fingers, transparent with blue skies and clouds, reach forward and points at land, and watches as it changes colors from dusk to dawn.

Sunny gives a big yawn, teeth glistening, and sets his head down to sleep. As dawn appears through the earth, the thought of the Night God appears in mind. 

Luffy notices he wears a black robe that sparkles with green and purple stars, and his hands glow a deep, misty midnight instead of Luffy’s shimmery gold whenever he touches at the earth. He's never seen his face since his hood covers it, but he knows his celestial is a humongous polar bear. It's huge, bigger than Luffy and The God he's curious about, but instead of plain white fur its a silver sand color and its eyes hold the moon within them. 

Of course, Luffy thinks they're identical. Instead of a closed black robe he wears an open red one, lined with gold and jewels to show off his radiance to those that see him. There's a crown of yellow flowers on his head and his eyes are a warm human brown, and his sash that switches colors with his emotions wraps around his waist comfortably. Sunny's looking just like any regular old lion, but its eyes hold the sun.

Luffy believes they are similar, like twins.

He laughs at the thought and Sunny snorts in its sleep. 

But he's curious now as he looks in the direction The God walked in, and he bites his lip as he makes a decision.

...

Time isn't known to Luffy--or any other God, for that matter--so when he hears the sound of heels coming his way, he perks up and sees the Night God walking in, his Celestial trailing right behind him. 

Sunny roars, eyes glowing bright and tail flicking in the air lazily.

"Hello!" Luffy starts, startling the Night God. The celestial beside him looks spooked. "My name's Luffy, and I'm the Day God! What's yours?"

The God stops in his path suddenly, robe hovering around his feet eerily.

"What?" his voice sounds sleepy and soft, and Luffy feels his heart skip a beat at the sound. 

His hands pull away from the Globe, and he sets them in his lap, turning to face him fully. "What's your name?"

The Night God takes a breath. "Law. It's Law."
