#one piece
Just standing next to him took his breath away.
It wasn’t for the younger pirate’s peculiar scent (he smelled of sweat and meat from the last party, but it wasn’t so bad), but something related to his presence.
Luffy’s Haki—especially his Conqueror Haki—was overwhelming even for someone like Law. He wouldn’t collapse like most people did when Luffy let his “ambition” expand freely, but Law’s heart still pounded faster as his ears ringed. A sensation similar to floating assaulting him, he had to use his longsword as support not to drop to trembling knees.
“I’m the Pirate King!” Luffy had yelled upon reaching the last island in the Grandline, tears of joy brimming in his eyes.
Law had lost count of how many days had passed since that groundbreaking event. Anyway, like every night since then, he couldn’t sleep. “The Polar Tang dives deeper into the ocean as the dark rings under my eyes grow deeper, too,” he mused, alone in the captain’s quarters of his submarine.
A recurring thought—no, feeling—was keeping Law awake. The same emotion which had surged inside him standing beside the Pirate King.
You’re the freest person in the world.
Law smiled. Luffy had finally achieved his dream.
But what about me? Do I have a goal anymore?
Law rolled on his bed, uneasy, reminding himself that Cora-san hadn’t saved him because of the “D” in his name.
Trafalgar D Water Law.
Law repeated his full name in his head and sighed.
By accompanying Luffy on his voyage to the last island of the Grand Line, Law had learned the meaning of both the “D” and “Water” in his name. That should have given him a new purpose—a new dream—but he had felt empty since he and Luffy had taken different paths.
Our alliance was only temporary, after all.
Was he fine with that, though?
No, I’m not.
He thought about Luffy constantly, and even if separated by a waste expanse of water, he still felt his presence.
I… I love you.
Shortly after Law silently confessed his feelings, he finally fell asleep.
The following day, the captain of the Heart Pirates would start a new journey to reunite with the person who had stolen his ownheart.
@lawluevents My tenth and final contribution to the LawLu Week 2022 (DAY 10 - “confession” prompt) is another flash fiction from Law’s point of view.
