------- rambling about Doflamingo; there are spoilers, if you haven't seen Punk Hazard and Dressrosa! -------

Now, onto my thoughts and to give context for any new One Piece fans out there. If you don't mind spoilers, be warned! I've watched One Piece 4 times, yes, you read that right 4 times! lol But it's been a while, so if I forget anything, I'm sorry. X////x

I have a love hate relationship with Doflamingo Donquixote, or "Doffy" for short.

This feathered giant pink flamingo is a great villain, don't get me wrong. His speech in Marineford, a new pirate era is coming was true: " "The Winner" gets to decide what's evil and what's justice."

Given his origin, you do feel sympathy for him, but it was already too late to change his way of thinking when his title as a "Celestial Dragon" (1 of 20 families that created The World Government, they are treated as nobility) was taken away from him when his father decided to live along civilians and throw away their status.

Being forced to leave a life he knew and was accustomed to, being overly spoiled and getting what he wanted, servants and slaves, and then being confused when it was taken away. The civilians(abuse victims from other Celestial Dragons) burned their home forcing them to live on the streets, he and his brother were forced to eat rotten food, then his mother died, the civilians tied him, his brother and his father against a burning building with no mercy, feeding and fueling his hatred and awakening his conquerors Haki(The Kings Haki).

Trebol found Doffy, gave him his devil fruit and a gun. Doffy killed his own father when he was 10. He offered the Celestial Dragons his fathers head to let him back into Mariejois, the home of the Celestial Dragons, but they denied him, so he decided that if he couldn't get back into Heaven, he would create his own paradise and do anything to get it.

His hatred and hunger for power only grew, when the Donquixote Pirates were formed they treated him like a King, he wanted something, he took it. He wanted someone dead, his executives (the closest members of his crew and found family) would gladly take that person out and die for Doffy.

They call him, "The Heavenly Demon" for a reason!

He's a powerful pirate, a warlord and King of Dressrosa. His devil fruit is the "string string" fruit, making him an puppet master.

He's an awakened devil fruit user, which means he can use his fruit on objects around him and turn them into strings. He's very op, smart, prideful and is deadly when he's angered.

"Joker" is his alias in the underground and black market given part of his role and involvement in both Dressrosa and what happens in Wano.

There is no denying that this 10ft, 41 year old giant of a man is attractive, but at the same time....

What he did to become Dressrosa's(Dressrosa is his ancestral home before they become his family become Celestial Dragons) current King, how he lied and manipulated so many innocent people, using his devil fruit, him hurting Law and killing his own brother, the preview Corazon, Rosinante Donquixote (who loved Law as his own and died for Law).

You can see part of Law's character that if Rosinante hadn't saved Law, he would have ended up just like Doffy. In a way, he's still took Doffy's words to heart after traveling with his crew for 3 years. "The weak don't get to decide how they die," which we've heard Doffy say.

I can't ever forgive him for it. Watching him hurt Law, no matter how many times I know he will be okay, I will cry! (Leave my snow leopard alone!)

Every once in a while I will binge read fanfics about Doffy, wanting more and more, then drop it, and the cycle repeats.

XD Dammit, why do I have to be such a sucker for Villains?

Summary: Hell hath no fury like Trafalgar Law scorned.

Hello, everyone! Here is my gift for @vanbatier for the @op-secret-santa-2021 ! I hope you enjoy a quick tale of Law in the era of his time with the Donquixote Pirates! :)

“Law! Law, I’m going to tell on you!”

“Shut up, Baby 5! Or would you rather I stab you instead?” 

At his harsh growl, the little girl turned her lips inward, looking like she half wanted to snap back and half wanted to start crying. However, she obediently kept her mouth shut. Law sniffed, then peered back around the corner of the slightly ajar wooden door of the meeting room. He could see Doflamingo’s long, lanky legs stretched out on the coffee table and hear his voice echoing through the spacious chamber as he fleeced one of his poor “business partners” for all they were worth. Hard to negotiate when your life was under threat, especially when the one threatening it was acting like it was nothing more than idle gossip over afternoon tea instead of major arms and drug deals. 

“All right. This time, I’ll get him!” Law whispered under his breath. He tightened his grip on the butcher knife that he had nicked from the kitchen. 

“Lawwww!” Baby 5 hissed in his ear. The feeling of her spit splattering all over the side of his head made the hair on the back of his neck rise, and he almost whipped around to slash at her with the knife. Almost—a half-baked attempt on Doflamingo’s life could probably be written off as childish antics, but cutting Baby 5’s pretty little face? That would not go over well. “Why are you doing this? Soon, Doffy’s not going to find your attacks amusing, and you might not get away with it!” 

“Can it, Baby 5, before I frame you as an accomplice.” 

“You wouldn’t!” 

“You I damn well would, so stop botherin’ me!” 

Baby 5 let out a little sniffle and backed away, sitting against the wall. Law looked around the corner again; despite Baby 5’s loud mouth, it seemed that he had yet escaped notice. Patience… Patience… he told himself, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Suddenly, Doflamingo stood up, going to embrace his terrified victim in a gesture of a successful business transaction. Now!

Law surged forward, the knife stuck straight out in front of him. He barely reached up the length of the lower half of Doflamingo’s leg, but if he was lucky, he might be able to jump up and stick his femoral artery. I’m gonna get him! This’ll show him!

And just like that, his feet went out from under him. Law squealed as he landed right on his rump, his feet tugged forward by invisible strings. The knife sprang from his hand, skittering across the room to slide under the couch. Doflamingo hadn’t even turned, but the smirk decorating his lips told all. 

“If you want to kill me, Law, you really should try harder,” the pirate captain snorted with laughter, pulling away from the pale, sweaty man dressed in a business suit to look at Law with a raised eyebrow. “A knife? Really? The arsenic in my oatmeal last week was at least a little more original.” 

“Stupid Corazon hid all the rat poison!” Law whined, crossing his arms. 

“Oh, dear, another assassination attempt?” Rosinante sighed from his perch in the loveseat. He smiled wanly as he rested his cheek against his hand. “What did the captain do this time?” 

“He made us sandwiches for lunch! Sandwiches! He knows I hate bread!” As Law ranted, he kicked his feet against the ground. Just talking about it was stoking the fires of rage within him. He hopped to his feet, and with a guttural roar, he sprang at Doflamingo. He wrapped himself around his leg like a koala and bit down, sinking his teeth into the flesh until hot, red blood gushed into his mouth. 

Like it was nothing more than a mosquito bite, Doflamingo resumed talking to the businessman. 

“Now. I’ll expect the first shipment in a week,” he said in a magnanimous hum, steering the panicked man out of the room with a steady hand on his back. As he swung his leg, Law shimmied up his leg and bit down again, whipping his head back and forth like a deranged carnivore. “I expect you know what will happen if you should disappoint me.” 

The businessman glanced down at Law. The little boy pulled back, grinned his bloody teeth at the man, and drew a finger in a slicing motion across his neck. 

The man stammered some sort of affirmation before scuttling off as fast as his shaking legs would allow. Now that the distraction was gone, Law resumed the matter at hand. He skillfully climbed up Doflamingo’s body to perch on his shoulder and then began whacking him atop the head. 

“Law!” Baby 5 cried from her spot still sitting against the wall. “Stop hurting Master Doflamingo!” 

“No, let him at it, Baby 5,” Rosinante cackled as his brother’s glasses went askew across his face from one of Law’s blows. “He’s gotta learn somehow! Look at him go!” 

Law clambered on top of Doflamingo’s head to begin chewing angrily on one of his ears in a very concerted effort to tear it off. The pirate captain sighed, then righted his glasses with a smirk. 

“All right, all right, point taken. No more bread.” He reached up to pluck Law off his head by the back of his shirt. He winced as Law grabbed ahold of a few of his golden hairs and yanked them out, shaking them in his tiny fists before throwing them back in his face. “And we need to find more productive ways to occupy Law’s time besides attempts on my life.” 

“Or mine,” Rosinante hummed in amusement. 

Dangling from Doflamingo’s grip, Law just crossed his arms with a disdainful sniff. 

Curse this stupid family. I’ll get ‘em someday! They’re gonna pay! The whole world’s gonna pay! He ranted silently, falling still in the tall man’s grip while tears brimmed in his eyes. Everyone’s gonna suffer like I’ve suffered… And then I’ll die. 

Sniffing, he rubbed his arm across his nose as it began to run. Doflamingo didn’t seem to notice, but Rosinante did, an expression of compassion flickering on his face for the briefest of moments before disappearing. It made Law’s belly go all twisty inside, and he curled into himself, still suspended in the air. He watched the blood drip from the corners of his lips, falling far down below to make ruby splashes on the ornate tile floor. 

“Law?” Rosinante spoke up suddenly. Law raised his face to peer at him from underneath the brim of his hat. “I’m hungry, aren’t you? Why don’t we go see about getting something to eat, hmm? Without bread, of course.” 

“... Yeah, okay.” 

Doflamingo let him down, and Law walked over to Rosinante, begrudgingly gripping onto the fabric of his pants. He used them to wipe the blood off his face, not really caring if Rosinante was worried about the stains. After a word of parting to his brother, Rosinante led him away. 

Well… I guess I can cut them a break every now and then, Law considered as he shuffled along beside him. Especially Corazon… He does a lot of nice things for me. He looked up at his tall towering figure, his smiling face. Law then scrunched up his nose. I’ll never tell him that, though. Never, ever!

He could cut them some slack, yeah. At least, until one of them messed up and pissed him off again. Hell hath no fury like Trafalgar Law scorned.

An Interesting Proposal

Fanfiction: An interesting Proposal Story Summary: If anybody told Smoker that he would have a casual conversation with his boss at a pirate's wedding, he would have thought them beyond insane. Characters: Smoker, Luffy, Law, Tashigi, Sengoku, Garp Pairing: LawLu Rating: T Warnings: Swearing, alcohol use, A/N: I had this written awhile ago, but I finally typed it up and edited it xD

Read on Ao3

There was something unusual as of late. And by unusual, Smoker really did mean unusual.

Mugiwara no Luffy was missing.

There was no sign of him. It had been weeks since anybody had heard from this rambunctious supernova. (And how he hated that term. It was as if they were trying to praise him. A pirate!) And, knowing Mugiwara no Luffy, there was just no way somebody like him could go without hearing about the idiotic or crazy things he was up to.

And to make matters worse, there had been sightings of his ship, but the rambunctious captain was nowhere in sight. And even the Polar Tang that typically followed the Strawhats’ ship was gone. And to make things even more confusing, Nico Robin – the devil child – was also gone. (While it wasn’t too difficult for that woman to disappear from sight, it was the timing that was unusual.)

There were rumours of course. Ones of Nico Robin and Monkey D. Luffy eloping off somewhere. About how there was a fight and the Strawhats and Hearts pirate alliance was over. Or even the craziest of things involving Robin and the Hearts pirates. Typically either a kidnapping or another mention of eloping.

Smoker, however, knew better.

No, there were no eloping or potential kidnappings, and he doubted that there were any disputes of any kind.

For he had caught the captains far too many times making out in some elusive place. (Typically forests. Why forests, he didn’t fucking know. He wasn’t being paid to figure out why pirates made out in forests, just to capture them, and evidently while making out in said forests.)

If anything, it was Mugiwara and Trafalgar that were probably off eloping, in his opinion anyway.

Although that begged the question: just where was Nico Robin? For some reason, Smoker knew if he found Mugiwara no Luffy he’d find her.

Mugiwara no Luffy wasn’t the type of person to abandon his crew or friends after all.

.xxx.

When Smoker had a lead that there were two men who resembled the two captains, he followed it.

Of course their ship – the Thousand Sunny – was nowhere in sight, but after weeks of sheer nothingness… Well Smoker couldn’t just turn it down.

(And besides, Mugiwara hadn’t been spotted on his ship anyway so it wasn’t a sure dissuading sign anyway.)

After wandering the villages, he finally did find the couple. (Oddly enough, not in a forest – and yes, he checked there first.) No, they were in a tailor’s shop. Apparently Trafalgar Law was being measured for something.

The tailor was just putting away the tape when he stormed into the shop, jutte at the ready.

“Ah! Torao!” Mugiwara piped up when he saw him, pointing at him. “We gotta go! Smokey’s here!”

…How he hated that god damned nickname.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Trafalgar had grabbed Mugiwara by the collar. (Don’t fucking start making out god damn it!) “Room.”

He was not going to let Trafalgar use his powers to…

“Shambles.”

His jutte ended up attacking a damn rock.

“Mugiwara! Trafalgar!” He hollered out before rushing on outside. He wasn’t going to let these pirates get away!

Oddly enough however, neither pirate seemed interested in fighting him today… No Trafalgar was just using his Room to keep moving them away from him. And considering that both captains were capable with Haki (especially Trafalgar being able to defeat Vergo…) it baffled him. It wasn’t like in Paradise when Mugiwara couldn’t attack him…

“Oh!” It was Mugiwara who piped up again, being dragged from behind by Trafalgar and their linked arms. “Smokey!” His other arm moved, tossing something at him.

It wasn’t laced with Haki so it couldn’t be an attack… and instinctively, he caught it. It was a piece of paper…

“Luffy-ya did you just—” Trafalgar sounded pissed. Irritated. Annoyed.

“Shishishi!” But Mugiwara was just laughing. “Of course, it’s Smokey after all!” Totally ignorant to his… boyfriend’s agitation and turned back to him. “We’re getting married in a week, and you’re invited!”

…They’re getting what?

And did they just—

“Shambles.”

(It was said with great irritation, that Shambles.)

…And they were fucking gone. The Polar Tang. Of course. It was all making so much fucking sense now. They were planning their wedding and they were using the Polar Tang for subterfuge and who better to use than Nico Robin for such things….

Fucking pirates. Mother fucking pirates. And they had the fucking gall too…

He opened the crumpled piece of paper and there it was:

You are invited to the wedding of Trafalgar D. Law and Monkey D. Luffy! Bring food, you’ll need it. Please meet us at…

Really? Really?!

.xxx.

“But sir! You have to go! It’s a wedding invitation! You just can’t refuse!”

Smoker groaned. Of course Tashigi would say that.

When he had returned to the ship he had been furious. He slammed the invite on the table, ranting about how insulting those pirates were by sending him this invite because he couldn’t just go there with ships to capture them. (That was just cowardice and had no honour.) And so they just basically told him that he can’t chase them down for at least a week.

And of course Tashigi…

“…they had thought of you while doing so! I mean we’ve been chasing them this long it only is right that we see this important event in their lives!”

Sometimes he wonders why he even kept her.

“You’re not going to shut up about this until I agree to go.”

It wasn’t a question; he already knew the answer,

“Nope! Now what are you going to wear? We need to find you…”

Smoker let out a large sigh. Just what had he gotten himself tangled up into?

.xxx.

The damned suit Tashigi had stuff him into was uncomfortable and stuffy and no matter what he said about this being a pirate’s wedding, she insisted that they dress appropriately.

And when they walked in, well he momentarily had forgotten about the suit.

To say he felt unnumbered was putting it lightly.

This was probably the most wanted area in history. Trafalgar Law and his crew. The Strawhats. If that wasn’t enough, the fucking Red Hair pirates were here too. Oh and the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates were here to see Ace’s little brother get married.

…How many fucking people did these guys know?

There also was a huge list of pirates that had escaped Dressrosa the same time of Doflamingo’s fall. A few of the warlords…

…And was that the fucking Princess of Alabasta in disguise over there?

(Never mind the revolutionary army for a moment.)

Tashigi went to put the food on one of the many tables when Smoker nearly had a heart attack as he continued to inspect the area.

Garp was to be expected but Sengoku? What the hell was Sengoku doing here?

“Now behave sir, like you promised.”

(Even if he brought the entire fucking Navy here, he wasn’t too certain they’d win. No wonder why Luffy was so confident in giving him the invite.)

(Not that he’d even consider ratting them out anyway, and Mugiwara would have known that too.)

“…I don’t know what I was expecting…”

“Smokey!!!”

Mugiwara had just… catapulted himself over in his direction, and Trafalgar had appeared next to him, sighing.

“I told you he’d come Torao!”

“I hope you realise this changes nothing.” Smoker spoke with annoyance. Why was he even here? He had better things to do with his time than to spend it at a pirate’s wedding…

“Shishishi I know! Thanks for coming!” And then the couple went off in some other direction.

Smoker sighed before he sat down next to the only other Marines in the area.

“Smoker? What brings you here?”

That was Sengoku. “No fucking idea. This brat decided it was a brilliant idea to invite the Marine who has been on his tail since Logue Town. You?”

(Who would’ve ever thought he’d have such a casual conversation with the ex-Fleet Admiral at a pirate’s wedding…)

“Trafalgar Law is my son’s son. I guess. And Garp dragged me here.”

Sengoku had a son? He had no idea. Although it must be some indirect bonds binding them as family.

(He glanced at Sabo.)

Yeah something like that.

Tashigi was talking to Nami. Probably about those children from Punk Hazard.

“So why’s Tashigi here?”

Smoker sat back and unbuttoned his shirt – these were fucking pirates dammit – and lit a few cigars. “She insisted on ensuring I’m ‘on my best behaviour’ as she puts it.”

…Great Garp and Sengoku were laughing at him now.

“How is any of this funny!”

“Nah, nah son.” Garp said through his fits of laughter. “I was just remembering back when I was your age and chasing Roger all over the place.”

He grumbled. How he was ever going to survive the wedding… well it would be a miracle.

.xxx.

Things were crazy as the pirates often made them. Sabo had come over and virtually interrogated him about Luffy before wandering off. Nami had tried to blackmail him with a picture before Garp scolded and threatened her.

Tashigi and Roronoa got into a verbal spat again – she had too much alcohol in her system – and she was the one trying to make sure he was behaving properly? Pah!

Mugiwara would occasionally pop by and ask a few questions before getting distracted by other things.

What really got him though was when Red Hair came over and just… laughed at the prospect of the Marines being at a pirate’s wedding.

It took the grooms, Sabo, and Sengoku to stop the spat between Garp and Red Hair.

That definitely would have ruined the wedding.

When everything was said and done, Smoker took a rather intoxicated Tashigi away from Zoro before getting onto their ship.

The last thing he wanted was to be around a bunch of hung over pirates.

“He shaid he wash gunna…”

“Enough about the damn swords Tashigi. Go drink some water and get to bed.” He groaned. The party was still going on; he could see the bonfires as they sailed away.

“So how was it Smokey?”

He could only groan again. “Chaotic.”

He would give them a week before he started his manhunt again. The couple deserved a honeymoon after all…
