Fandom: One Piece
Summary: The Donquixote Pirates stumble across an abandoned lab and find the remnants of human experimentation. Only two live subjects were left and Doflamingo recognizes one of them as his younger brother. [Rewrite of Hybrids]


Rocinante didn't stop running. He had caught whiff of the scent of someone important to him. 'Tangerines…smoke…' His brain searched for the right word to describe the person. 'Mate…Cub's…mom…'

"Da?" Law asked. "See…Ma?"

Rocinante grunted in affirmation. They were going to reunite with their pack. Rocinante followed the scent of tangerines, his mind seemingly knowing the exact location of his destination. After a few minutes, he stopped at the edge of a tangerine farm. He placed Law onto the ground and proceeded to walk through the orchard.

They stopped in front of a house. It seemed old yet had a cozy aura to it. Rocinante could smell a person inside. The door opened and Bellemere exited with a rifle. "Who the hell's trespassing!?"

Rocinante took a step back, not having expected the sudden outburst. "Mate…" He called to her. "Belle…"

Bellemere's hands trembled and the rifle clattered to the ground. "What?" She was shocked and made no move to move closer to them.

"Ma!" Law leapt into Bellemere's arms.

Bellemere managed to snap out of her daze and caught the cub. She stared at the little boy's face. "Law?" She whispered. "Law, is it really you?"

"Ma!" Law purred in delight. "Ma!"

"Oh Law," Bellemere hugged him tightly. "My sweet boy…"

Rocinante decided that her reaction was a good sign to approach her. "Belle…"

Bellemere wrapped her arms around the wolf hybrid. "Rocinante…Law…you're both alive…"

Rocinante rested his head on her shoulder. 'Mate…cub…pack…safe…together…'

Doflamingo watched the scene unfold from his perch on a tree branch. 'That woman knows Rocinante and Law. How did she recognize them right away!? Why didn't they try to attack her!?' His hand holding onto the tree caused a crack to form. 'I'm Rocinante's brother! He should've recognized me first! Just who the hell is that woman!?'

Doflamingo landed a few feet away from the trio. "Who are you?"

Bellemere grabbed her rifle. "Don't move!"

Strings wrapped around her neck and Bellemere started to gasp for air. Rocinante noticed his mate's distress and started to bite at the strings. The strings dug into his mouth, causing blood to trickle down. Law whimpered, unable to stop the pain of either of his parents.

"Rocinante let go!" Doflamingo's command fell on deaf ears. He used his other hand to form strings that froze his brother in place.

"Impact Wave!" A golden shockwave hit Doflamingo and sent him flying through a couple tangerine trees.

'Which bastard did that!?' Doflamingo got back up and saw Sengoku walking over to Bellemere and the two chimeras.

"As much as I want to put you in Impel Down, you seem to be the only one that can provide and explanation," Sengoku said. "If you try anything, I won't hold back,"

"Tch," Doflamingo begrudgingly nodded. 'I can't win against an admiral,' "I found them on an island,"

"Which island?" Sengoku narrowed his eyes.

Doflamingo shrugged. "I don't know the name of it. The ship landed on an island with bloody shores a few months ago. There were several other chimeras like Rocinante and Law but they were all dead. The lab was destroyed and whoever was in charge of it either died or escaped,"

"What person would be so cruel as to do that to my husband and son!?" Bellemere hugged the two even closer. "They're two innocent humans! Law was only one year old when he was kidnapped!"

Doflamingo was gaping like a fish. "Husband? Son?"

"Ma," Law nuzzled Bellemere. "Ma,"

"Bellemere married Rocinante and they adopted Law," Sengoku revealed.

'Rocinante had a happy life…He moved on without me…' Doflamingo still couldn't really wrap around the thought that his brother could be happy with someone other than him. He was the only family Rocinante had left. "They're coming back with me,"

"No," Bellemere refused. "They're both staying here,"

"I'm Rocinante's brother!" Doflamingo argued.

Bellemere snapped. "Where were you for the past years!? You were the one who abandoned him! What kind of brother does that!? I was there for Rocinante through thick and thin! Sengoku-san raised him like he was his own son! What the hell did you do for him!? You shot your guys' father and chopped his head off! You chose Mariejois over your own flesh and blood! So don't fucking use the fact that you're his brother as a reason that he should be with you!"

Rocinante did not like how his mate was getting worked up. He glared at Doflamingo and bared his teeth. "Mate…angry…Leave!"

"Roci—"

"LEAVE!"

"It's best if you did as he said," Sengoku suggested. "If you refuse to do so, you'll find yourself heading to Impel Down. This is the only chance I'm giving you, Doflamingo,"

Doflamingo knew he couldn't defeat Sengoku. He gave one last look to his brother and nephew before leaving. He would leave their property but he wouldn't leave the island. Even if it pained him, he'd watch them from afar. If either of those two tried anything, he'd die trying to protect Rocinante and Law.

"You poor things," Bellemere said as she brought them inside. "I'll find whoever did this to you and get revenge!"

Rocinante looked around the house. He couldn't really recall ever being in there before, yet it all felt familiar. It smelled of his mate. It smelled of pack. It smelled of…home. There were many blanks in his memories and he didn't even really understand who the other man was, but he could tell that the man was part of his pack.

"This was us when we officially adopted Law," Bellemere held up a photo to Rocinante.

"Mate…Cub…" Rocinante rumbled. He pointed his paw to himself in the photo. "Who?"

"That's you," Bellemere answered. "That's you," She held up another photo. "This one is of you and Sengoku when you were younger,"

Rocinante looked at the photo and then at Sengoku. "Alpha…"

Sengoku knelt down and placed a hand on each of the chimeras. "We'll figure out a way to get you guys better,"

Rocinante leaned into the warm hand. Law purred. They could trust these people. They were pack. Pack protected each other.


END OF PART I

The reason why Rocinante wasn't hostile towards Bellemere and Sengoku was because his memories of them were happy unlike the memory of Doflamingo killing Homing.

This will be under hiatus while Part II is being written. Hopefully I can finish the chapters by September/November but I don't want to rush it. You've seen what happens if I rush it. *Cough*DonquixoteLaw*Cough*

The Keeper of Worlds:
There will be interactions between Sengoku, Bellemere, Rocinante, and Law in Part II.

Vi-Violence:
The reunion is a bit short but more interactions will be in Part II.
