Solitude!

This was a world, like any other world in the universe, full of colour and life. This world had mortals, immortals, semi-immortals, semi-mortals, vampires, werewolves, pixies, witches, nightwalkers, mermaids and so on. In this world everyone lived and thrived with one another, creatures fought with each other over politics, cried at failed business, looked for jobs, hankered for education. Some died early not because they were sick but because they had shorter life span, some lived forever and wanted to die, some became immortals after finding the soul mate, some gave up immortality to die with soul-mates. People loved and died, people loved and lived. This was this world where everything was possible and nothing looked impossible.

Trafalgar Law was one such being unique yet normal person in eyes of this world. He was an immortal with no ambition. A doctor by profession many feared him as he was decorated with Tattoos. Tall, well built, shadows of dark circles under his eyes, a fur cap hiding is short dark hair, were his features. Bought to this world by two of the most cunning and calculative minds. He was the son of a feared politician and a ruthless businessman. He carried the cold blood of his fathers'; yes he was born of two fathers.

Doflamingo the pink loving businessman with blood of vampires and Sir Crocodile with blood of nightwalkers were his fathers. This very mixture of this blood resulted in Law's grey eyes and bone chilling personality.

Immortals had many traits; every immortal was different from other. Law could not sleep as he had nightwalkers blood but he felt sleepy as vampires loved sleeping in the day. Trafalgar Law was unique yet normal for this world.

The tall man had gained his immortality after his twenty fifth birthday.

Every other immortal has his her own set time, some grow immortal after initial fifty years of living with slow aging. Some at eighteen like his elder sister Perona who gained the full power of vampires and nothing of nightwalkers. Some aged till the attainment of immortality, some aged until meeting their soul-mate, some aged until the body decides to stop. His sister stopped aging with her immortality certificate; she looked eighteen despite being a century older than him.

Law had to settle with his father Crocodile's advice that he would stop aging when he finds his one true one. Sir Crocodile looked like a man in early forties but he was over seven hundred year old and said he stopped aging when he met his pink loving father Doflamingo, who was celebrating than his hundred and sixty seventh birthday. So Law had settled for that day when he would enjoy complete immortality with no aging. Law smirked that after all aging happened slowly to them. He was few years behind two centuries himself but looking none the less than twenty five year old man.

But when you lived so long, everything started to look boring, his sister found her soul-mate soon after her coming of age party. No matter how much his fathers' fought over business and politics they would be yelling and moaning every night in happiness.

Best thing about soul-mates was that they could be anybody. It was terrifying too if they were mortal with shorter lifespan, the immortal would be doomed. After almost two centuries of living and working as Doctor Law had given up the hope of finding his soul-mate one any time soon. The thought of his soul-mate being unborn was more terrifying. Trafalgar Law was not needy or desperate, he was just alone. Travelling was never tempting if one was alone, travelling with his passionate fathers was out of question, and that sister of his was annoying little brat despite being the older one.

When his phone rang, the doctor tried to avoid picking it up. His polar bear faced colleague Bepo wanted to party and asked Law to meet his soul-mate another animal faced creature with talking ability. When the ringing did not cease Law gave up and took out his cell phone.

"What is it?" Law asked with his grumpy voice. "Is that how you talk to your father?" the annoying voice of Doflamingo shirked. "Yeah sorry, why are you calling me, did your stuff toy loving daughter ditch you on your upcoming shopping spree?" Law asked back, as most of the time it was his father Crocodile who called him up for latest tabs.

"My My you are jealous! Sibling rivalry fufufu. Tomorrow you are coming home for dinner" Doflamingo ordered. "No, not happening, I have to work" Law was not going to fall for his fathers' traps to find his soul-mate, Law had lost count of how many dinner meetings he had with women, men, elf, children, mermans, wolfman, mermaids, giants, fairies and so on .

He appreciated his fathers' concern but he wanted Fate to find his one true one. "I am not calling you for dinner dates relax; it's our anniversary and last day of the year, I bet you forgot!" Doflamingo laughed. "Oh shit! Sorry I did. I will not miss it" Law smirked. "You better not boy, goodnight, stop walking around the town, try to sleep like me" saying this vampire father disconnected.

Law sighed and looked around, it was indeed late night and he was in an empty alley where the dogs were sleeping peacefully. Problem with being a doctor of this world was that, mortality rate was less, illness existed but medicine was advanced. Though he used the excuse of work, the busiest time of the year was when breeding season was over and Mermaids, vampires, werewolves and other mythical creatures came in for checkups in hopes of having an off spring.

The spring was the season of pregnancy, every other immortal or magical being was desperate to copulate and have children. Another busy time was winter when those creations of spring decided to be born. Every other creature had his or her own method and problems in delivery. Law sighed as the season of birth was near. Other than that he was hardly occupied, so he spent his time walking around the town under the shadows.

Sometimes in these shadows he would catch a scent enough to ignite his lust, take him or her to nearby hotel and spent the night with them. Law was not horny but at times he needed an outlet. The price of eternity was loneliness. As Law entered the well lit road covered in thin layer of snow he smiled, but suddenly the snow fall became faster and the doctor walked inside the twenty four hour running food house to save himself from the assault of the snowfall. Law walked in and took the corner seat and brushed off his coat and kept it besides him.

"How may I help you?" an orange haired woman with huge smile and attractive physique approached him. "One coffee and something to eat that has no bread in it please" Law smiled and the woman smiled back and left him. Law was hungry, he had left hospital at the afternoon after having a sip of his coffee and after that he had been roaming around the town. Now it was past midnight he was lucky to find anything that would give him energy. Law tilted his head back when he heard a blonde man swooning over a cute girl sitting with her boyfriend.

"Sanji-kun do you want thunder or Storm" the orange haired girl walked out from the kitchen and banged the head of the blonde man who had a very handsome face but had curly eyebrow. "Sorry Nami-swan, I was just helping the pretty lady to choose" the man called Sanji was flying behind the girl called Nami. Nami walked towards Law, but Sanji's flight was halted with another bang on the blonde head.

Law found out she was wearing a black mini-skirt and a halter neck crop top in this cold weather. She placed the coffee and what looked like spaghetti tempted Law to glow his eyes in happiness. "Thank you Miss Nami" Law thanked. "Welcome, please enjoy the food; the Spaghetti is without meat, as a customer and friend ate all our cooked meat today. The coffee is on the house as handsome men are such rare sight in this place" Nami flashed a girly giggle. Law wondered this customer must be Giant from the country Elbalf as this place was big enough to cook for hundred.

"A Giant you mean by the term customer?" Law asked. "Oh no no, he is just an immortal like us, he is an eternal traveller and explorer and I travelled with him years back, together we drew maps of various island and countries you see" Nami informed "Are you the famous Cat Bugler and Cartographer?" Law asked Nami who was now frowning at Sanji who was making weird faces.

"Nami-swan don't do this to me I love you! Don't talk to other man" Sanji swooned over Nami and hugging her he was weeping. "I told you not to flirt at work hours but you don't listen" Nami yelled and suddenly the snowfall turned into heavy wind and swung open the door. "Nami-swan calm down, you will strain your health" Sanji said holding Nami in his arms.

"Sorry, for that" Nami laughed but her face became more red and skin paler while Law was staring at them suddenly the snow and wind vanished. "Sorry Miss Nami are you alright? I am a doctor if you don't feel well please tell me" Law offered help. "Mrs. Nami" Sanji the blonde guy informed and pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "Sorry for the wind and snow, I get jealous whenever my women loving husband flirts around" Nami bowed.

"So you are a weather witch after all?" Law asked. "Yeah she is the weather witch from the country Weatheria. Please enjoy your Spaghetti, I am the cook and owner of this restaurant and she is my better half and yes she is the famous Cat Burglar and cartographer" Sanji smirked tucking his blond hair behind his hair revealing a beautiful peach coloured pointed elfish ear and pulled Nami away with a wink and walked to other customers.

Law's eyes grew large he wanted to ask more about the famous Cat Burglar's adventure but he sighed as he saw another example of bickering love. It was not hard to figure both Sanji and Nami were married and expecting a child soon and they were immortals. Though they looked like newly young married couple both had a sense of ancientness in their eyes. "Damn this world had too many immortals with soul-mate" Law cursed in sadness and gulped down his spaghetti which was the best he ever had.

Now it was officially midnight and Trafalgar Law's parents Anniversary and one day from new year! The idea of full family dinner was terrifying, the blonde father of his would pass a sadistic joke, the dark hair father would stretch it and that pink haired sister would laugh at it and the entire guest would make faces. Normal family dinner was out of question.

Trafalgar law was walking with his head down and looking into the endless lane ahead. The trees were too tall and dark, they were hovering and the moon was at full bloom. But none of this scenic beauty caught the eye of this man. He took long steps as now he wanted to rest in his bed and try to fall asleep. He hated how scary he looked to the children in hospital. His dark circles and weird smiley T-shirt even scared the innocent newborns.

Trafalgar wanted to be cheerful, but his smile was creepy as Bepo had told. The tattoos on his hands and fingers spelling DEATH did not help in anyway. It was hard for Law to explain that every Army Doctor had to ink their hands with this word. Being an ex-army doctor and living with cold personality all worked against Law.

The only time a new born giggled in his hands was a century before when by mistake he stumbled into night duty and found the infant staring wide eyed while his mother was deep in sleep after exhaustion. So Law on impulse had carried the infant in his arms and tried to make dreams fall on the kid. That infant was unusual as the first thing attempted by the tiny hands was to pull the earrings Law wore and kept grinning at Law.

It was the only time Law's heartbeat felt a sudden jump and skip, the only time he ever felt complete. But next day the child and the mother was discharged so Law could never figure out what name was given to that little devil who had purest of black eyes and a wide toothless grin. Law could never forget that beautiful innocent laugh. Law laughed at the sudden image of that particular infant wrapped in towel. "By now that brat is married or something" Law smirked and turned towards the left lane as his home was at the third count.

As the tall man turned towards left he fell on the cold road, he was pushed by a fast moving creature. Often werewolves would be on the chase in night for their Moonlight Play. Law thought he might have stumbled to one such brat who was playing in the night. As he tried to stand up when a skinny hands pulled him up, as Law tried to look who is saviour was but he saw a flash of red move again.

The creature in red looked like a teenager who was running now, he was wearing a red cardigan and ripped off three quarter pants, slippers and a straw-hat hiding his head."Sorry I didn't mean to throw you on the ground. Shishishi.. I am hungry so I am in a hurry TAKE CARE! Goodnight" the boy turned around and flashed a grin which reached his both ears. Law just stood there staring at the grin; the face was half hidden under the hat. But that smile left Law mesmerised and awestruck.

For some reason Law's cheeks felt warm and his inside happy, the teen was out of sight and his smell was scattered as the sudden wind blew. Trafalgar Law laughed at himself and entered the lane smiling at the image of the huge grin he just got. Something changed inside him and he felt it shake his heart and stop the flow of time, he again fell complete from within and was giggling with only thought that was running his head was. "A Strawhat in winter?"
