New Dream (LawXReader)

Penguin, Shachi and Bepo had fled the sub due to their captain’s vial creation. They were now wandering around the town they had docked at and were dying of starvation.

               “He really expected us to eat that?” Shachi exclaimed.

               “I guess so, he put it on our plates!” Penguin became nauseous just thinking about their… ‘Dinner.’

               “There has to be a restaurant somewhere…” Bepo lifted his nose to the air as he took in a giant sniff. He sniffed again once more to confirm the direction of the lovely scent. “I smell food that way!” he pointed east. Shachi, Penguin, and the entire crew that followed him rejoiced as they ran in the direction of the food.

….

               “Where is everyone?” the surgeon of death was roaming around his ship. No one was to be found. “It’s dinner and no one is here….” It was Law’s turn to cook, but no one was actually in the sub to eat. He decided to go investigate as he left the sub and headed towards town.

….

               “Hello and welcome, May I take your order?” a male waiter came to the makeshift long table to fit all the crew,

               “Whatever the chef suggests!” Shachi proclaims happily. The waiter nods and counts the number of people in order to determine how much the chef needed to make. He headed to the back and went into the kitchen

               “Chef (Name), you have quite a large order here!” all that the waiter could see of you was the back of your (H/C) (H/L) hair and your frilled apron strings. You turned your head to look at the waiter.

               “Oh? Why do you say?” your (E/C) eyes looked back to the job at hand, preparing broth from some older vegetables.

               “It appears to be a pirate crew! Maybe they know your mother and father!” your eyes lit up at that thought.

               “Do you think? Oh wonderful!” you began to twirl around in your kitchen as you delicately took the order from the waiter. “Oh, anything I cook is fine? Well alright. I’ll give them something fully nutritious and will aid them on their journey!” you moved the broth to a back burner to begin to prepare the meal. Your waiter smiled as he left the kitchen.

….

He thinks he has finally tracked them down. Of course on his day to cook they went and found a restaurant. He sighed as he entered the establishment. To be honest he didn’t want to eat what he cooked either. He walked in and his crew had already started eating. None of them had noticed their captain yet. He looked at the food arranged for them. Each morsel was clearly carefully picked to help the men retain water and to get the most nutrition out of the meal. Proteins were carefully made to make sure it gave the boys energy without that fattening and slowing effect that some proteins had. He looked in awe at the sheer skill of this cook.

               “C-C-CAPTAIN!” all his crew snapped him out of his focused gaze. His crew froze while eating to look at their captain. They wondered if he was mad at them and feared what he would do.

               “Who made this meal?” he questioned. The waiter saw how he had marveled at (Name)’s creation, so he did not fear the man.

               “Sir, would you like some as well? Or would you like to meet the chef?” your waiter was always good at making sure everyone got what they needed. He considered himself your apprentice as you taught him all the tricks your own father taught you.

               “I would like to meet the chef indeed” the heart pirates’ crew was confused as to why their captain wanted to meet the chef. He didn’t seem mad, so what business did he have with you?

Law was led by the waiter to the kitchen, where you began to store your broth and cleaning up. You were skilled in canning things, so you canned the broth and sometimes sold it, but the canned broth could last quite a while. You heard the familiar footsteps of your waiter, but another set also followed his. You were curious to who it was, but you continued canning. You heard the doors swing open and you turned to a handsome man standing there next to your waiter. You nearly dropped your can of broth he was so attractive.

               “Meet chef (Name), her skills in cooking go far beyond taste.” Your waiter praised. “She inherited this restaurant from her father, who was called back out to sea by his captain.” You became shy and looked down.

               “A-are you the captain of the crew out there?” you questioned

               “I am Trafalgar Law. I am the captain of those pirates out there, the heart pirates.” He explained. He moved forward. “Your waiter here explained how you cook beyond taste. Explain” you froze up slightly as your eyes fixed on his.

               “I… I cook according to nutritional needs… a farmer needs a different diet than a sailor, a diet can be the meaning between a successful person and one who fails. Energy is essential, and that is why we must be careful what we put into our body, but we also must not be wasteful.” You held up one of the cans of broth “my father like my waiter said, my father is a pirate. He is the cook for that ship, and I was taught as if I was on one. I never wasted any food or over cooked.” You soon realized you did not need to tell him all this “Sorry, I talked a little too much didn’t I?” you backed up a little before attempting to return to your canning of broth. Law was impressed by your knowledge. As a doctor, he agreed that a diet was important. He had seen the effects that your cooking had on his men and he knew you had enough skill to be on a ship.

               “Do you have dreams of meeting your father again (Name)?” Law knew what he had to do for the better of his men

               “Huh? O-of course I do! My father taught me everything… but he left me when I was 10…” you looked at the picture that hung on her fridge. “I want to show him how much I’ve improved.” Law saw the determination in her eyes. He walked forward a little more,

               “What would you say to joining my crew? We could use a talented chef like yourself, also you will get a chance to meet your father.” Your eyes widened at the offer, you always wanted to go out to sea for a chance to meet your father, however you didn’t want to leave the restaurant.

               “(Name),” you look up to your waiter, “Do you need some time to think maybe?” he was always like a little brother to you. You smiled at the young man and sighed.

               “No, I need no time at all. I know my answer.” You walk over to your waiter “I leave you in charge of the restaurant Aaron. You have been like a little brother from day one, but I am going to take this chance at finally meeting my father” Aaron understood and took the can of broth from your hands. This was the same way your father left you. Your father told you he was leaving you in charge and left you with a can of broth he made. “Mr. Trafalgar, I accept your offer” you smiled at the man and he nodded.

You never knew how this would change your life

………

A few months later, you had met the straw hat pirates captain Luffy, and for the first time you were meeting the crew. Shachi, Penguin and Bepo were all very cautious however with you. They all knew how much your captain cherished you, and they all knew his feelings for you. Your oblivious little head had no idea, but you knew you liked him as well. He would always make sure you weren’t lonely while you cooked the larger meals, and made sure to treat any injuries on the spot.

You walked to the upper deck to finally meet the crew of that rambunctious little rubber boy, and you had to say, it was quite…. Interesting. You were about to say hello before you heard someone loudly fawning over something

               “WAAAH! What beauty! WHAT GRACE! I’ve never seen such a lovely in my ENTIRE LIFE! You must tell me your name! Please! You must be a princess or a Goddess even!” oh. He was fawning over you. You felt slightly uncomfortable near the man as you back up a little.

               “M… My name is (Name), and I am the cook of this ship…”

               “I KNEW SUCH A DELACATE FLOWER AS YOU HAD A CONNECTON WITH ME! MY DARLING OUR FATE MUST HAVE BEEN WRITTEN IN THE STA- OW!” The excited man had been hit over the head by a man with swords.

               “Leave her alone you Ero-Cook”

               “What did you say to me moss head!?” they shot daggers at each other with their eyes as you began to back away slowly, however you bumped into Law. He put a hand on your shoulder to hold you there.

               “I would appreciate it if you would stop scaring MY Cook!” he said with a stern voice. The blonde cook saw how Law’s hand was placed upon your shoulder and he became downtrodden. The rest was quite interesting, but Law kept you close to him to prevent another incident.

……

               “They sure are lively, huh Captain?” you were preparing just a snack for the crew to enjoy, “Is that why you made an alliance with them Law?” you turned and smiled at him

               “Like you said the day we met (Name), energy is essential.” He began to walk over to you “Although, you were visibly uncomfortable with that cook Sanji today. Are you alright?” you were surprised he remembered that.

               “Yeah, I’m fine, it was just a surprise to me.” You lowered the burner flame “I had no idea that people would want to flirt with me. I have always just stayed in the kitchen.” You glanced up to your canned broth. “So I guess I have never gotten a taste for outside life until now…” Law looked at you and traced your figure with his gaze.

               “Have you never been flirted with before (Name)? You are beautiful,” You blushed heavily, and you ended up burning your finger. Whenever Law made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside you became clumsy and always looked like a moron. Law heard your squeak of pain as you burned yourself and he immediately grabbed your hand. He examined the burn and determined it wasn’t too bad, but it probably hurt in your end. Your face however also began to redden further the longer he held your hand. You turned the burner fully off to prevent any more accidents. He lifted you up and your face was redder than before.

               “I-I-It’s just a-a-a-a l-l-l-l-little b-b-burn C-C-Captain” You stammered out.

               “I know, but your face is also red, so I wonder if you have a fever, and you’re stuttering.”

Bullshit. He knew why you were red, he knew why you were stuttering. He just needed to take you somewhere more private than the kitchen. You however were not upset about this, but you sure weren’t overjoyed either. You were content that he gave you his attention, but at the same time you wondered if you deserved the attention. You finally noticed you were heading towards the medical room. At times this room could be shut off from the other crew members if needed. You look up at Law as he shut the door to the medical room behind him. He placed you on the bed and began to look for bandages and some burn cream.

               “You… You really didn’t have to carry me Captain…”

               “I know, but I wanted to.” His reply was smooth and confident

               “Y-y-you w-w-wanted to?” you hated your nervous stutter. He turned around and looked at you.

               “Correct. I wanted to.” He began to treat your burn “You might not have seen it, but I was very upset by the straw hats cook’s behavior, not just because it was rude” he finished wrapping the burn “But because it doesn’t bode well when a man flirts with another man’s woman” You tilt your head slightly out of obliviousness. Law smiled as he brought your face closer to his. Your face went red again when you finally realized what he meant “Be mine (Name), I promise to protect you.”

Your eyes widened at his proposal. Your heart soon however took control and kissed him. No words were needed from you after that. Law pulled you in closer but the kiss had to be broken off.

               “I… I love you Captain” He chuckled

               “Please, when we are alone like this, just call me Law,” you smiled and nodded.

               “Then I love you Law,”

               “I love you too (Name),” and you were so comfortable, you fell asleep in the warmth of his arms, your last thoughts before you finally drifted off to sleep were

‘I never knew I would make a new dream out on the seas… I want to live a loving life with him… With Law’
