And to think that a few moments before the sun was still visible in the sky and a light breeze was blowing over the sea. Now, however, only a terrible hurricane that exploded with all its violence. The wind, with impressive progression, was rapidly increasing in intensity, the waves were indomitable and were chasing each other to attack the bow of the ship; all visibility was swallowed up by a shroud of water sails, sprayed by the storm. On the bridge the pitch was unbearable in the tormented throats of the craters of the waves and the clamor of the weapons that crossed between the various crews. Fear was engulfed by the fury of the sea, and it was a feat to be able to stand alone so as not to run overboard.
<< Trafalgar! >> A not too distant voice called him with an urgent tone, and despite the bedlam that reigned around due to the fighting between allied and enemy crews, the storm that raged with rain and lightning, and the sea that wanted to swallow them with a monstrous maelstrom , the dark smiled, instantly recognizing the person calling him; while he finished piercing one of Big Mom's numerous sons with the sword he was grabbed not too delicately by the arm and dragged backwards. He turned like a snake ready to tear apart the madman who had dared to commit that suicidal act when his eyes collided with the amber ones of supernova captain Eustass Kidd, who stared at him with an indecipherable look as his labored breathing hit his face and eyes. red hair was dripping profusely from the ongoing storm. In all honesty, the dark-haired man did not know what to expect from the other, given the situation they were in, so he started to ask where he hit his head when ...
<< Do you want to marry me? >> he asked in a high voice to be heard, while Law stared at him as if two heads had sprouted. Under normal circumstances he would have told him not to shoot bullshit, or that drinking two barrels of sake before the battle was a bad idea because he couldn't be serious, or lucid. Instead his words came out without even realizing it.
<< Does not seem the most suitable time! >> he said moving to avoid a blow from the club of a soldier beast of Kaido, while Kidd spread another with a fist of his metal arm sending him to the ground.
<< No but it could be the only one! >> The red yelled back that with its power attracted most of the weapons present in its range and sent them back to the sender managing to pierce some enemies who collapsed to the ground dirtying the floor with a crimson carpet that spread by the minute.
After that he turned again to the other captain, who in the meantime had got rid of another enemy and approached him, pulling him back towards him.
<< I love you asshole >> the red captain said seriously while, turning his head to the side, he kicked on the sternum of an opponent away and returning his gaze to Trafalgar's in a few seconds.
<< My choice is made, what's yours ?! >> he yelled, squeezing the other's arm waiting to hear his answer.
Law was momentarily taken aback; he usually knew how to foresee unusual situations, especially when red was involved and consequently he knew how to act with control and lucidity. This was not the case. In a flash all the events and moments he had lived with each other passed in front of him: from Sabaody when they first met and fought together against Kuma, when Eustass lost his arm against Shanks and received his care even if too late , after the defeat of Doflamingo and the story of his illness and Corazon, the release of Kaido's captivity and their reunion until the current confrontation. At the beginning it was a game for both of us, a way to pass the time and vent the mutual physical attraction and then each go their own way. But things changed over time, until that overgrown blockhead became important to him. So he decided.
<< Red-ya! >> without removing his arm from Kidd's grip, who was puzzled to hear his name, the dark-haired man turned to the emperor who at that moment was facing two generals from Big Mom.
<< Marry us! >> he spoke as the rain stuck his hair to his face and the water entered his mouth.
Shanks turned with surprise carved into his face, but recovered as he parried a combined attack from Katakuri and Smoothie with his sword.
<< I'm a little busy right now! >> said the red without taking his eyes off the two opponents and trying to take down as many enemies as possible with his Haki of the conquering king.
Meanwhile, the other two supernovae threw themselves back into the fray, filling the ship's deck more and more with corpses that fell under their attacks. With a glance Kidd noticed that Trafalgar, due to the prolonged use of his devil fruit, was starting to show fatigue, so he understood that there was no more time to waste.
<< Get a move, emperor of my cock! >> furious growl the supernova complete with a murderous aura. Behind him the death surgeon snorted amused, closely followed by Shanks who thought the situation really amusing; however duty first of all.
<< Good! >> he said back doing a somersault in the air as he slashed at a third general who had just arrived from above while further on Eustass encircled Law and lured him close by colliding the back of the dark against his chest in a sort of hug that made us both jump.
<< Dear friends, we are gathered here today ...! >> the emperor announced loudly as if he were speaking to an audience of listeners and, meanwhile, General Charlotte Cracker ran to meet him brandishing a broadsword which pointed towards him.
<< To hang yourself on the mast, mangy dog! >> she with a powerful kick she sent the general to crash into the wooden railing.
Meanwhile, the two lovers released their embrace to resume the fight, the enemies seemed to never end coming from all sides. Law crouched down to allow Kidd to parry a frontal attack as he moved backward and wandering around on himself as he passed a large wooden pillar and avoiding some sword points that aimed at his neck. As soon as he finished the turnaround he found himself just in time to be again in front of the redhead who joined his hands wet with water and blood to his.
<< Trafalgar Law, do you want to take me as your husband? >> Eustass asked proudly with shortness of breath.
<< I want it! >> the dark-haired man replied with a smirk, who at that moment felt tired but euphoric.
<< Good! >> the other replied as he detached his hands from his partner as he ducked down to dodge a blow that this time Trafalgar parried with his nodachi; activated a small Room to incorporate a handful of soldiers who were sent overboard, and at the same time teleported next to the redhead who broke the neck of a gifter and who, sensing his presence behind him, turned back to him with an expression pleased.
<< Eustass Kidd, do you want to take me ... >> he said as he grabbed the metal one of the other captain with his hand and turned 180 ° to pierce the chest of yet another enemy with the sword dripping with blood << as your husband, in health and in sickness ... >> with his foot he pushed on the sternum of the enemy to make him slide backwards << as long as any health remains! >> he screamed as the rain seemed to fall with more force on them. But this did not discourage Kidd who, with a big laugh, pulled the dark-haired man towards him, and whispered in his ear with a seductive tone << i want >>
Meanwhile Shanks had got rid of Cracker who was lying unconscious on the ground, while with a swing he sent Smoothie crashing into the mainmast that he shivered from the power of the blow. Staying behind, he turned to the two supernovae while Katakuri approached him with an aura of death and the intention of avenging his newly defeated brothers. But that doesn't seem to upset him in the least
<< As Emperor I declare you ... >> just in time dodged the Mogura of the general who without batting an eyelid threw him a sequence of fists covered with haki. Realizing that he was facing an opponent not just decided to work a little more, but without losing his good mood.
<< You can kiss ... >> did not finish the sentence that, using his fruit of the devil Mochi Mochi, Katakuri created a giant foot that would have overwhelmed him if he had not lowered to touch the floor. Instead, it was a beast pirate who was not paying attention to his surroundings. That boy seemed determined not to let him end that damn marriage, he thought sarcastically, but after all he hadn't become emperor at all; and then he was hoping that someday he would celebrate Luffy's wedding too, so he was more motivated to end it.
<< you can kiss ... >> suddenly his hand grabbed his leg very gently. Looking back, she noticed that sweet general Smoothie, despite her being seriously injured, had dragged herself to him with the intent of helping her older brother finish him off.
Perhaps because of the storm, perhaps because of the battle or perhaps because, according to his partner Ben Beckman, lately he took little care of himself was assaulted by an annoying headache that sent his good mood to the wind. With the toe of his boot he hit the woman in the chin who leaned to the side while with the only arm that had clad in the haki of the armor he pressed hard on the cheek of the other general who had sprinted to help his sister, but he could not avoid the blow of the emperor who landed. This done, he turned to the two captains who had resumed fighting as they continued to hold hands.
<< and kiss him! >> he yelled totally exhausted. Those two were just taking it easy!
Finally hearing those much desired words, Law decided to take the initiative for once; with a tug he approached Eustass who nearly collided with him, and bringing one hand through the other's crimson hair made their lips wet from the rain join. Time seemed to stand still, the environment around them froze and the noises of battle quieted down: you could only hear the beating of their hearts and their breaths that mingled like the waters of the maelstrom that threatened to swallow them and drag them into the abyss. But in that moment neither of them cared. Kidd wrapped his arms around the surgeon's waist as if it depended on his life while the other hugged him, and their mouths fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
