Law had faced death, betrayal, and near extinction at the hands of the World Government, but none of that compared to the sheer horror of being wanted by Monkey D. Luffy in this way.
Not as an ally. Not as a friend. As his.
And Luffy did not take no for an answer.
"Oi, let go of me, you damn lunatic!" Law growled, struggling against the iron grip of the grinning Straw Hat captain. His face was flushed, his heart hammering against his ribs—from fury or something else, he refused to acknowledge.
Luffy only tightened his hold around Law’s waist, pulling him flush against his chest, laughing like this was a game. "But Torao~ You keep running away! You know I don’t like that."
"Because you’re insane!" Law snapped, pushing at Luffy’s arms. "Who the hell kidnaps someone they like?"
Zoro, watching from the side, sheathed his sword with an amused snort. “Tch. You’re just now realizing our Captain’s crazy?”
Sanji exhaled a long drag of his cigarette and smirked. "Honestly, I never pegged the Surgeon of Death for the type who likes being chased. How romantic."
"Shut the hell up!" Law barked at them, face burning hotter.
Usopp, standing next to Chopper, was sweating. "Uhh, guys? Should we really be laughing? Luffy looks seriously obsessed…"
"I think it's cute!" Chopper said brightly, completely missing the yandere horror in Luffy's eyes.
Meanwhile, the Heart Pirates were in an absolute panic.
"CAPTAIN—!!" Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi were frantically trying to rescue Law, only to be held back by Nami, Robin, and Franky.
"How is he even standing after that hug?! That should’ve broken his ribs!" Penguin cried.
"Forget that, how do we get him away from that crazy rubber man?!" Shachi whisper-shouted.
Ikkaku crossed her arms, studying the scene critically. "Mmm… If we leave him like this for a few more minutes, maybe we'll get some good intel out of it."
"IKKAKU!"
Meanwhile, Ace and Sabo were absolutely losing their minds.
"Luffy!" Ace grabbed his younger brother by the back of the vest and tried to yank him off Law. "You can’t just steal people—what the hell did Garp teach you?!"
Luffy didn’t budge. He just turned his head, his grin widening, his grip on Law tightening. "He taught me that if I want something, I should take it."
Sabo groaned, rubbing his temples. "That’s not what that old bastard meant, and you know it!"
Ace huffed, jabbing a finger at Law. "And you! Why the hell haven’t you used your powers to teleport away?!"
Law gritted his teeth. "You think I haven’t tried?! The moment I use ROOM, this lunatic just grabs me and—"
Luffy nuzzled into Law’s shoulder, completely derailing his rant.
Law froze.
The warmth of Luffy’s breath against his skin sent a violent shiver down his spine.
"You smell good, Torao," Luffy murmured against his neck. "Like the ocean… and something kinda spicy."
Law’s face turned a dangerous shade of red. "DON’T SMELL ME, YOU DAMNED MONKEY!"
"Why not?" Luffy whined, tilting his head, pouting like Law had just broken his heart. "You’re mine, aren’t you?"
"I AM NOT—"
Robin chuckled, setting down her teacup. "You’re really in deep, aren’t you, Law?"
Nami grinned like she was watching the most entertaining love drama in history. "Oh, he is. You can hear it in his voice—he's flustered."
Franky crossed his arms and nodded. "Super flustered."
Even Jinbei couldn’t help but chuckle. "You may as well accept your fate, Law. Our Captain doesn’t take no for an answer."
"Yeah!" Luffy agreed enthusiastically.
"THIS ISN’T A GOOD THING!" Law snarled, still struggling.
And then—things got worse.
Because Luffy, as if sensing the perfect moment to completely ruin Law's life, leaned in closer, his voice low and teasing.
"You like it, though," he murmured against Law’s ear.
Law stiffened.
His face went completely red.
The Straw Hat crew erupted into chaos.
"OOOOOOOOOOOH!" Usopp hollered.
Sanji whistled, smirking. "Now that’s how you flirt."
Franky wiped a fake tear. "My boy’s all grown up."
Even Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi couldn’t deny the fact that Law’s flustered reaction spoke volumes.
Ace looked ready to commit arson.
"Luffy," Ace growled. "You better not be saying what I think you’re saying."
Luffy just grinned wider, nuzzling Law’s neck like a happy cat.
"I’m saying I love Torao~" Luffy declared.
Law let out an undignified strangled noise.
Sabo pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing. "This is officially a disaster."
"You’re telling me," Zoro muttered, but he was clearly amused.
Luffy finally pulled back enough to look Law straight in the eyes. His usual carefree grin was still there, but there was something darker in his gaze—something possessive.
"You can run if you want, Torao," Luffy said, voice dripping with amusement. "I’ll always catch you."
A cold shiver ran down Law’s spine.
For the first time since Luffy's obsession had started… he realized something terrifying.
Luffy wasn’t just playing around.
He meant it.
And no matter how much Law fought…
He was never getting away.
