Chapter Text
Law is watching him. He's been watching him the whole hour since's he's been here. Who's he’s staring at?
This cat hybrid with black hair, scar under his eye and straw-hat. He's at the bar eating a cherry pie. He's small and Law can smell his scent. All hybrids have strong scents.
It smells like sweet cinnamon and chocolate. Law looks at him with hunger in his eyes and smirks. What's a hybrid doing all alone in bar? Hybrids are supposed to be with a master or mistress at all times.
This hybrid has black cat ears and tail. It’s flickering as he eats his pie.
Law isn’t the only one staring at him, but so everyone else. Probably wondering the same thing, what is he doing here.
Hybrids are seen as property, they don’t have that much rights. He’s cute and very beautiful, Law wants nothing more than to make him his. He’s always wanted a hybrid pet. His rival kid has one. A lion hybrid by the name of killer, he mainly uses the hybrid as extra muscle
A lot of people have different types of hybrids to suit them. Some have aggressive types like lions, cheetahs, wolves. Some are more into gentle ones like cats, bunnies, fawns or sheep.
Law wants something like that. Something like that boy. A small hybrid he can protect, kiss and love. But also to control.
The boy gets off the stool and thanks the bar tender for the pie. He then starts to head to the exit, as he does, Law gets up and goes over to him.
He gets close to the boy and smirks. “Don’t you have anyone with you, little one?” The hybrid stops walking to look up at him with question.
“Does that matter to you?” The boy spits and Law wasn’t expecting that type of answer at all. Usually cat hybrids are very sweet and timid. But not this one.This one is giving Law a look that’s filled with defiance. Interesting. Law is a little amused.
“What’s your name?” Law ask and the boy scoffs before trying to walk pass him. “None of your business.”
“Such bold behavior from a kitty.” Law says and follows the boy, he then gets in front of the ravenet and gives a smirk. “But a hybrid shouldn’t talk that way, especially to someone like me.”
“Someone like you?” The boy sasses. “Oh you mean a jerk?”
“No. A pirate. The attitude was cute for a few minutes, but it’s getting disrespectful. Weren’t you taught your place in life?”
The boy squints his eyes at him. “My place? Go fuck yourself, I don’t answer to you or anyone.” The boy pushes him out the way and everyone in the bar starts to whisper.
“You’re going to let him disrespect you like that?” A drunk man says.
“Kid, probably forgot what he is. Teach him his place, no self respecting pirate would let a hybrid act like that towards them.”
All the people in the bar shout agreements and continue to try and egg Law on.
Truthfully Law isn’t too hung up about this, but if he lets this hybrid get away with disrespecting him, his reputation as a pirate would get tarnished.
He’s going to have to do something about this. Law looks over to the bar counter and sees a fork. “Room.” He says. His power starts to work and everyone notices his room starting to form, including the boy.
“Shambles.”
Suddenly the boy is the fork’s place and he looks confused. He’s about to get off the counter until law goes over to him and man handles him to bend over the counter.
Everyone cheers, except for the bar tender who is just shaking his head. He’s probably seen something like this before.
“Fuck him over the counter like the whore he is!” One drunk yells.
“Make him suck you off!” Another yells and they start to yell out crude suggestions that make Law wince, but he comes up with something to get them to shut up.
He swiftly pulls down the boy’s pant and underwear. The hybrid yelps before cursing Law the hell out. “Stop! What are you doing you fucking bastard!”
He squirms and tries to fight out of law’s grip. Law raises his hand and brings it down. It lands with a harsh slap. The boy stops struggling and gets wide eyed. “W-What are-“ He’s cut off from another loud spank and everyone in the bar starts to cheer.
“Spank his ass!”
“Beat him until he can’t even stand straight!”
Law brings down the third slap and makes the boy howl in pain. “Stop! Stop! Get off of me-Ahh!” Law brings down more slaps, each one more painful than the last.
“Sorry little one, But you need to know your place.” He says with a slight growl and brings more slaps down. The boy squirms and kicks. “S-Stop it, this isn’t fair!”
“Oh I think it’s fair enough. I could fuck you instead of doing this as your punishment. Be grateful.”
“You bastard!” The cat shouts and that gets him even more slaps.
“Hey look, he’s getting hard!” Someone points out, they all notice the hybrid’s hard cock and Law coos in his ear. “Are you enjoying this? naughty thing.”
Law brings more slaps down on him and that point the hybrid might lose his voice from screaming so much when more hits come down on his bare ass.
Finally the slaps stop and the hybrid lets out a soft mewl when Law lets him go. He falls to the ground and everyone laughs. His eyes have tears in them, his cheeks burning red from the humiliation.
Law looks in satisfaction at the boy’s ass.
Suddenly the boy speaks. “The..The only reason I’m not kicking your ass is so people don’t know…”
He doesn’t finish and Law is curious. “Know what?”
The hybrid doesn’t answer. His ears only bend back and he hisses at Law. “You’re going to pay for that.” He says and Law could have sworn that he saw the hybrid eyes go red for a second.
Law doesn’t say anything else. The only thing he can do is leave.
2 years later.
It’s been two years since that incident in the bar. Two year ago when Law was an immature, chaotic jerk trying to prove himself.
Two years since he saw the hybrid.
A lot has happened in two years. Things that he will forget because they’re not important or things that’s always going to stick with him.
What happened in the bar is always going to stick with him.
“Captain you okay?” Bepo ask and Law breaks out of his thoughts to look up at his mink navigator. “Yes, just thinking.”
“You always look so stressed out while you’re thinking, captain.” Bepo says with a chuckle.
“Yeah, boss. Try and relax. For once we’re in a peaceful place, safe from danger.” Right now law and his crew are walking a stone path with spring trees blowing in the wind.
All of them are in traditional Wano clothing. They are in the land of the samurai, Wano country. A country which is isolated from the rest of the world.
The crew is here to lay low for a while, they’ve been chased by navy ships for a good while now and it’s been stressful. So while they’re here, they can relax before sailing back at sea.
“It’s peaceful, but don’t let your guard get too low.” Law says and one of his crew mates puts a shoulder on him. It’s penguin. “Always so serious, Geeze.”
Law grunts in annoyance and lightly pushes him away. “Remember we’re not going to stay here long just until things calm down.”
All of them groan in disappointment and Shachi sighs. “Listen we’re going to hit the town for some grub, do you mind?”
Law shakes his head. “I’ll catch up with you guys later.”
They all nod and start to head in a different direction and law continues to walk the path. While he walks the sun is setting and he soon finds himself in a very green forest
It’s just as peaceful as the rest of the country, but something is a bit different about it.
He sees little stone cat statues. Some are decorated, some have little offerings in front of them, like tangerines.
He then sees some lanterns with cat silhouettes in them. While he looks around he bumps into something.
Law grunts and looks down. He realizes it’s not a something, but a person.
An old man with a cyan tuf of hair. His beard is also the same color. He’s wearing glasses and a light cloak on him. In his hand is a bowl of Oshiruko.
“Watch it.” The man grumbles.
“Sorry.” Law mumbles with a bit of attitude. He’s about to walk away until the man speaks. “Are you here to pay respect?” Law turns around
“Huh?”
“Are you here to make an offering like everyone else?”
Law raises his brow, wondering what he’s talking about. “To who exactly.”
The man sighs. “You must be some new comer.” He then smiles. “But I’ll be happy to explain so it can maybe encourage you take part in our tradition.”
Law being the curious person he is nods. “What’s the tradition?”
“Well you see every year in the spring we pay a humble thanks to our savior. Our savior who liberated us from the cruel emperor of the sea. Kaido.”
Law looks really inserted now. He’s read about kiado. A powerful Man who was nearly unkillble. It was likely due to his devil fruit. Legend has it he ate a zoan devil fruit that allowed him to turn into a dragon or a dragon hybrid.”
“When he came, the sound of drums rang out into the sky, laughter was in the air and we saw him jumped gracefully into the air.”
“What’s his name?”
The man starts to walk and law starts to follow him. “He goes by a few names, but here we call him Nika. Our sun cat god.”
“Cat god?” Law questions and notices more statues. The man turns left and Law is impressed when he see an amazing, beautiful white temple. Inside he can see a bigger cat statue.
Around the statue are plates of food. A lot of food. There’s plates of dumplings, meats, sushi, soups, there are some platters with filled tea pea pots and tea cups, steaming bowls of oden, shrimp tempura and so much more.
There’s even more outside the temple. It’s just so much food.
While Law stares in awe, the man chuckles. “He was known for his appetite. Would you like to offer something?”
“Um..” Law reaches into his pocket and digs in it. He takes something out and shows it to the old man. It’s a small pack of kompeitō candy he got from town.
“It’s really not much.”
The man laughs a little. “I’m sure he’ll still appreciate it.” The man goes over to the temple and puts the bowl of soup down.
“In town we’ll be having a festival in his honor. Come join us if you have the time.” With that he starts to leave.
Once he’s gone, Law goes over to the temple. He’s about to put the pack of candy down, but stops and huffs. “Like a god would actually want this.” He puts the candy back in his pocket and starts to head back.
In ten minutes he’s further away from the temple and it’s nightfall.
“I wonder what he was like.” Law mumbles. While he thinks he suddenly hears an explosion. It startles him so much he puts his other hand on his sword, ready to take it out.
“What the?” He mumbles. It sounded like it came from the place he just left. Out of more curiosity, Law walks quickly back to the temple. His other hand still clutching his sword.
When he gets back to the location he peaks through some bushes while crouching down. The first thing he sees is a figure with white clothes.
Then he hears a voice.
“So much food! All these yummy things they got for me look amazing, which should I eat first!”
That voice. it sounds familiar.
Law he sees the person sit down next to a plate and pick it up. He starts to eat what’s on it, all while making happy purr sounds.
Wait. Purrs?
Law gets from behind the bush and starts to walk out to the area. He gets a better look at this person. He’s wearing all white clothes and a straw hat, his hair is white and on top of his head are..
White Cat ears.
Law stares in shock.
Is this…no it can’t be.
“It’s been a while since I had sushi.” The person says with a happy laugh and mouth full. They use chop sticks to stuff pieces of sushi in their mouth. While he keeps eating, Law decides to speak.
“Excuse me.”
The ears on the person twitch. The white tail wiggles a little.
“I’m not sure if you should be eating that.”
The hybrid’s ears twitch at the sound of his voice. The person finally turns they’re head to face him. Law’s eyes get wide when he sees his face.
It’s that boy. That cat hybrid from two years ago.
“It’s you.” Law says with amazement. The hybrid looks so beautiful.
“You’re..you’re the savior?”
The boy doesn’t say anything. He just stares at Law for a few seconds before folding his ears back. His tail gets puffy and he lets out a growl. Law is a bit confused. “What’s wrong?..”
Law reazlies something.
The Hybrid is a god. A god that he pissed off.
“Shit.” Law mumbles.
The Hybrid immediately stands up in a defense stance and Law panics a little. “Wait-“
“gomu gomu no, Pistol!”
Law’s eyes get wide when he sees the boy’s arm stretch over to him. A fist hits him in the stomach and he nearly chokes to death. “Hold on-“ Law gasp, but the cat hybrid doesn’t listen to him.
“gomu-gomu no-whip!”
Suddenly Law is hit with a stretched out leg and it makes him fly into two trees, each one breaking from the impact.
Law groans in pain on the ground, blood dripping from some bruises and he feels a bit dizzy. He knows he deserves this, but fuck, Karma has such a weird way of getting to him.
Suddenly the cat jumps high in the air. He stares at Law with anger before putting his thumb into his moth and blowing. His whole hand turns gaint.
“Gomu-Gomu no Elephant gun!”
When that gaint fist hits Law, he goes back far. His body felt like it was hit by a mountain. He finally crash lands and breaks a few rocks when he does so.
He cures and gets up. “Room!” He says, “shambles.”
Soon he’s back from where he entered the forest and he makes a run for it.
In a while he’s back at the polar tang. He rooms himself on there. He pants and looks around frantically. There’s no sign of the cat god anywhere.
Maybe he lost him or he just went back to eating when Law ran away, satisfied with the damage he did.
“He’s gone.” Law says with a sigh of relief. He can go inside and treat his wounds. When’s about to go to the entrance of the ship he suddenly he hears thunder.
He looks up and see how the clouds are getting very dark. Lighting is starting to flash in the sky. As the thunder gets louder, Law has a sinking feeling his stomach.
He then hears a booming voice.
“GOMU-GOMU NO!”
“Oh Fuck.” Law says.
“STORM!”
Suddenly fist start raining down from the sky, coming towards the ship and him. They hit everywhere, creating holes on the main deck and they hit Law everywhere.
He screams in pain and struggles to stand up. This is hurts. Fuck it hurts. Those fist keep coming down, showing no mercy.
The pain gets too much for Law to bear and he feels like he’s about to pass out, but suddenly the fist stop.
They’re gone and everything is Silent. Law slowly stands up and grunts. He has to be gone this time, right?
He gets his answer when more lighting and thunder flash in the air. He sees a silhouette of a person in the clouds. That can’t be good.
Law has to stop himself from gasping in horror when he sees a giant foot come down on the land, then another.
They make heavy foot steps that shake the ground.
Soon standing in front of the submarine is the cat god. He’s looking down at Law. Eyes red as ever and he looks angry. He’s letting out growls and his fist are clenched.
The boy gets his giant hands on the submarine and starts to pick it up. Law holds onto the rails and he feels like he’s about to have a heart attack.
The boy roars fiercely and the only thing Law can do is say this
“I’m sorry!”
The boy stops roaring and looks back at Law. Who looks a little nervous. “Huh?” The cat hybrid says.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry okay! What I did was wrong and disgusting. I shouldn’t have done it, just please put my submarine down.”
The boy squints his eyes at him before saying “Why should I believe you?”
“Cause..I..” Law quickly digs in his pocket and takes something out. “I brought you an offering.”
“You did?”
The boy gets a look at what’s in Law’s hand and he gasp in excitement.
In an instant the Submarine drops and Law is screaming as it goes down. It lands with a huge splash. Luckily it didn’t sink.
It floats on the water and Law is breathing heavily. He then sees two arms stretch up and grab the rails of the polar tang.
The hybrid pulls himself on the ship and goes over to Law. He stares at Law. His white ears twitching. His big eyes staring at the candy in Law’s hand.
“Is that..star candy?”
“Y-Yeah.” Law says and the boy stares at him more before taking it.
“I love star candy!” He says with a laugh and tears open the package to start eating some. His eyes light up once they hit his tongue. “This is the best offering ever!”
While the cat god enjoys his sweets, Law sighs in relief. He never thought a pack of candy would save his life.
But he knows he’s going to have to do more to earn the hybrid’s forgiveness.
“Hey..what’s your name?” Law ask
The cat stops eating from moment. He thinks before saying
“I go by a few things. Nika, joyboy, straw-hat. But..I guess you can call me luffy.”
