Well, hello readers~

I got this idea out of nowhere while writing one of my novels (which is about vampires) and I pictured Law being in the place of the hunter and Bonney being the vampire. So, I decided to write this and I sent it to a friend for her to read to see her reactions... and she loved it, so I decided to post this and write this fic.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Chapter One- Beginning

It was a quiet night in the village as a man walked the streets, his foot-falls echoing around him was the only sound. Though it was quiet, the man was alert. He made sure to look around every so often, looking into the shadows and alleyways of the village. His grey eyes swept his surroundings, looking for anything that moved. And while he walked, he made sure his hand stayed near his side where his gun was hidden beneath his cloak.

He was rounding a corner when he heard something above him, he quickly moved to the side, avoiding whatever was above him. The man turned, his pistol in hand, ready to fire, as he saw red glowing eyes staring at him. The eyes of a creature of the night, the eyes of a vampire.

The vampire hissed at him, its fangs bared; they were long, sharp, catlike canines, which shone white in the moonlight. The sight would have frightened most, but the man didn't flinch or show any signs of fear. He was used to the sight of vampires. He was a hunter.

The man smirked at the creature when it took a step forward, causing it to freeze in its place. The man crocked the gun and put his finger to the trigger. The vampire looked at the gun and then at the man's face, seeing tan skin, cold grey eyes with dark shadows beneath, and a goatee. Red eyes widened then and the vampire took a step back, hissing in fear.

"Trafalgar Law," it hissed the hunter's name, causing his smirk to widen. "The 'surgeon of death'."

The hunter stepped forward and tilted his head at the cowering creature, his smirk still present. "Yes, that is who I am. And do you know why I am the 'surgeon of death'?" he asked the vampire, who in turn shook his head. The hunter then knew it was a newborn vampire, all vampires knew who he was and why he was known by that name. "Because of the way I torture vampires."

The newborn vampire's eyes widened once more and he backed away, trying to get away from the hunter, but the man only moved closer. "I torture them by cutting them with silver scalpels and I 'clean' out their wounds with holy water and garlic... I always take my time..." he spoke like he was a doctor taking to his patient. "But today I don't have time for surgery... so I guess you're lucky..." he trailed off when he saw the vampire breathe in relief. The hunter shook his head and began chuckling darkly. He then clicked his tongue and smirked at the creature. "You get a quick death."

The vampire's eyes went wide as Law lifted the gun and fired a bullet into the vampire's skull. The vampire dropped onto the cobblestone street and then turned to ash. Law watched as the ashes blew away from the light breeze and he then placed his gun in his belt, and he walked away like nothing happened.

Law entered an old tattered up building, a sign on the door reading 'North Blue tavern'. It was loud and filled with laughter. This was a place for hunters to meet up to catch up with one another, to talk about the last vampire they killed, or to find new jobs.

Though Law saw familiar faces, he didn't stop and chat. He went straight to the bar to get a drink. A strong one. He sat in one of the stools and the bartender, a pale man with blond hair covering one of his eyes, grinned around a cigarette. "The usual?" he asked.

Law nodded and said, "Thank you, Sanji-ya."

The bartender nodded and went to make his drink. Law sighed and buried his head in hand. He sighed and took his hat off, running a hand through his dark hair.

"Rough night?" a deep lazy voice came to his left ear, causing Law turn. He looked over the man next to him, taking in green hair and tan skin. The man had a scar over his left eye. The man's name was Roronoa Zoro, the 'demon hunter'. Vampires feared this man due to using not two but three silver blade that were soaked in holy water before Zoro went hunting. Law respected this man and his style of fighting. When Law first heard about this guy, he was impressed.

"Ah, no. I am just... in a bad mood," Law said, looking over at the bartender who was currently talking to a woman while making Law's drink. The bartender, Sanji, then made it over to Law and Zoro, making sure he grabbed a bottle of booze when he saw Zoro. He set their drinks down on the bar top, glaring at Zoro, who glared back. Law rolled his eyes at the two men, knowing they were about to insult one another. It happened a lot with these two.

Law sipped his drink and then turned in his stool to look around the tavern. He saw that a lot of hunters were surrounding the board which held papers for new jobs, which meant more vampires causing trouble. Law decided he would check to see if there were any interesting ones when the line cleared up.

He turned back to the bar, placing his glass down and asked for another. Sanji nodded and went to make Law's drink. The dark haired hunter sighed once more before looking back at Zoro, seeing him chugging down booze. The swordsman raised a brow and places the bottle down. Law opened his mouth to say something when someone sat on the other side of Law, causing him to glance over.

It was Monkey D. Luffy who sat next to Law, the leader of the Straw Hats. The Straw Hats were one of the strongest groups of hunters and most respected them, though at first other hunters doubted Luffy as a good leader. Zoro and Sanji were both members of the Straw Hats, there were others as well. One was a girl named Nami, she joined because a vampire killed her mother and sister and Luffy killed the vampire. She stated that it was a way of thanking Luffy, but he convinced himself it was because they were friends. The other members were; Chopper (a small kid who was an amazing doctor, who looked up to Law greatly), Usopp (Law still wondered how the coward was such a good hunter), Franky (he was one of the best gun makers in the hunting community, most hunting groups were jealous that he was a part of the Straw Hats), and Robin (she was Franky's wife, not much else is known about her).

"So, I hear you joined up with a few hunters? Not a loner anymore," Luffy asked Law, who in turn nodded. The teen had asked Law if he wanted to join the Straw Hats, but Law said he worked alone.

"Yes, I'm working with my childhood friend, Bepo. He came into town last night, telling me he was a hunter now and was wondering if he could join me," Law explained. "A few of his friends wanted to join as well."

Luffy nodded and grinned at the older male, "Well if you want to join with us, you guys are allowed to. I'll save a spot for a friend."

The older nodded, a small smile on his lips, "I'll keep that in mind."

Zoro clapped his hand on Law's shoulder, "We're always looking for strong fighters, so just tell us if you're planning on joining us."

Law nodded, quite pleased by the compliment behind what Zoro said.

When Luffy first asked him if he wanted to join, Law refused due to wanting to find and kill the vampire that murdered his family. Though he didn't tell Luffy that because he knew the younger would try to help. Law wanted to find the creature on his own and make it go through the pain his family went through. And when Law found the vampire, he did just that, which got him the name of 'surgeon of death'. At first Law was uncomfortable by that, but he soon realized vampires feared him because of it. After that he didn't mind at all.

Suddenly the bar went quiet as the tavern doors opened. Everyone looked at the doors, seeing someone who everyone respected. Silvers Rayleigh, he was part of the strongest hunting group, which was led by Gol D. Roger.

Gol D. Roger was his best friend, but when Gol was killed after a vampire captured him, his group went separate ways. A few of his members began a normal life, but a few went off to become legendary hunters, Shanks and Rayleigh. Those two were the best if the best, every hunter respected them and looked up to them.

Rayleigh looked around the bar and then his eyes went to where Luffy, Zoro, and Law were sitting. He then smiled and approached them, everyone watching him as he walked. Once the legendary hunter sat beside Luffy, everyone began talking again, lower than before though. Law could tell they were talking about how Rayleigh killed a whole vampire clan in one night, or some of the other things that most lone hunters couldn't do.

"Hello Luffy, Roronoa, Trafalgar," Rayleigh said, a smile on his lips. "How are you this fine evening?"

Law shrugged as well as Zoro, Luffy got excited and explained how the Straw Hats destroyed two clans of vampires the night before as well as half of a clan a few hours ago. Rayleigh seemed impressed, probably because Luffy had learned how to defeat vampire clans easily.

Law couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of Luffy. He was trained by two great vampire hunters; one of which was Rayleigh, and the other was Shanks. Law had to teach himself how to kill vampires. He knew what killed them (silver, holy water, and wooden stakes through the heart), he knew how to protect himself from getting bitten by one (wearing a cross around his neck, have a cross in his home as well as garlic and holy water), but he had to train himself how to fight. He was a doctor during the day, so he decided it was an advantage for killing them. He was always in good shape so it made it easier for training, but it was still hard. And from experience he had to learn where vampires were most weak (the neck, the brain, and the heart) and he learned that every vampire died differently; some turned to ash, some exploded, and some just died naturally. It was something Law learned by himself.

But, Law felt that Luffy needed that help. Luffy had trouble focusing sometimes and he had a big heart which made him worry about others, and he did things without thinking. If Luffy didn't have help, well, the poor kid wouldn't be alive. He probably would've died with his brother, Ace, who was also a vampire hunter. Luffy, though he wasn't a hunter at the time, protected himself from a vampire due to training with Shanks. But before Ace died, Luffy didn't want to be a hunter. But Ace's death changed that. After his brother died, the teen continued training with Shanks and then went on to train with Rayleigh. That was when Luffy became a known hunter and became the leader of the Straw Hats.

Rayleigh listened to Luffy as the teen described his the Straw Hats killed the clans and when Luffy was done, he complimented him before looking at Law. "So, Trafalgar. I heard that your friend Bepo is in town and you teamed up with him. Are the rumors true?"

Law nodded, "Yes. They are true. I am supposed to discuss a new job with him when I get back home."

Rayleigh nodded understandingly and then a thoughtful expression showed up on his face, he looked at Luffy and then back to Law. "I heard about a new vampire clan that has made their home in South Blue. It is larger than most clans, larger than I've ever seen. I'll need back up to take this clan down... would you guys like to join me on this quest?"

Luffy and Zoro both agreed right away, as well as Sanji (Luffy yelled out the question for the bartender to hear, which caused most people to look up at Luffy with annoyed looks on their faces), but Law was sure he wanted to. He had been to South Blue before, and didn't want to go back. Especially for what happened last time...

But then Rayleigh said something about getting a lot of money for the job, and Law was low on gold...

"I'll join you and the Straw Hats," the dark-haired man told the older man.

Rayleigh smiled, "Excellent! How about we in the dawn? That would mean we would be there by dusk tomorrow evening."

Law and the younger hunters agreed with that, and then the older man raised from his stool, wacky them goodbye and told them he would see them soon. And then he left the bar without another word. Luffy decided it was time he and Zoro left to tell the rest of their group that they would be leaving and told Law goodbye, and told Sanji they'd see him at their home, and left. Law sat there to finish his drink before he paid for it, and then he told Sanji he'd see him soon and left the tavern.

Law was glad that his home wasn't too far from the Tavern, mainly because he was exhausted. He unlocked his door and then walked in. He closed the door with his foot as he took his over coat off, and hung it in the coat hook. He then took his boots off and hat, he undressed until he was just in his black pants and his shirt. He made sure that he folded his clothes and put them but his sink before he went to where Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi were sleeping.

He then awoke them (which they didn't like very much) and explained that they would be leaving at dawn and told them about the job, and then left so they could get more sleep. Law went to his bedroom and plopped down on his bed, falling asleep instantly.

Law was loading up his carriage the next morning when Rayleigh and the Straw Hats showed up. They helped him and his small group finish packing before they all loaded up in the carriages (Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp were on one. Rayleigh, Nami, Robin, and Franky in another. And Law, Bepo, Penguin, Shachi, and Chopper in the other) and they were off.

They made it in the South Blue at dusk, just like Rayleigh said the night before. The large group got rooms at an inn by the outskirts of town and headed out towards town to check everything out, splitting up into the smaller groups they were in for the ride to the town. Luffy's group would go to the other side of town, while Rayleigh's group would be in the heart of the town, and Law's group would be closer to the inn where there was the large, thick forest. They all made sure try had their weapons and whatever else they needed before heading to where they should be going.

Law was happy that he got too stuck close to the forest, he hated walking through crowded towns. The forest wasn't bad, plus it was easier for him to focus on his surroundings.

Law's group spoke amongst themselves, leaving Law to his thoughts. That was until Bepo put his hand to his friends shoulder. Law looked up at his tall friend, staring into his reddish eyes.

Bepo was albino, but that never caused Law to think of him as different. Most people thought he was a freak, which caused him to have low self-esteem. But other than that, Bepo was the greatest friend you could ever ask for. He was a gentle giant, built like a bear, but was nice to everyone. He was caring and worries about his friends; he was the only one who could tell when Law was upset about something... like now.

"Thinking about what happened last time?" his friend asked and Law nodded.

The last time Law was in the South Blue, he lost a friend of his. His friend Eustass Kid and his brother, who went by Killer, were killed by vampires when Law was visiting. Law killed the vampire before it attacked anybody else. It hurt Law, but he never showed how upset he was.

Law sighed, "Well there's no use of getting upset about it. It happened and he isn't coming back."

Bepo nodded, knowing who he was talking about, but he didn't push Law any further. And Law appreciated that.

He wasn't one to talk about his emotions or feelings, he never was. He learned that from his father. Talking about your feelings made you weak, and Law didn't want to be weak.

When they were sure nothing was around where they were, Law and the three other men went back to the inn to play cards and drink.

Eventually, Law told his group that he was going to take a walk to clear his head and no one tried to stop him. They knew Law could take care of himself and knew he would be careful. Law walked through the forest, his ears straining to hear any noises out of the ordinary, his hand on his side by his pistol. He made sure he made as little noise as possible as he walked, not wanting to cause attention to himself. He walked down a dirt path, knowing that it led to a lake. He had walked this both before with Kid and Killer.

Law's thoughts were flooding his mind as he walked the path, thinking about how nice it would be to stop by Kid's house to see his mother, when something flashed before him. His body froze and he dove behind a tree, his pistol in hand. His heart pounded in his ears as he peeked from behind the tree.

It was a deer that ran in front of him.

The hunter breathed out a sigh of relief, but his relief was soon gone when something flew down from the trees and landed on the poor animal. The deer screamed and went down in a flash of brown, white, pink and black, and soon Law found himself staring at a woman. A woman who was feeding off of the deer.

He couldn't see her face, due to it being buried in the neck of the screaming deer. But he could see her pale white skin and her black dress, as well as her pink hair, which was in a loose up-do.

The deer finally stopped screaming, which made Law snap out of his faint trance.

But Law didn't look at her for long, he stepped forward, crocking the gun and aimed at her head. He was a fair enough distance that if she attacked, which he knew she would, he could shoot her before she could even touch him. He saw her body tense and then he saw her move her face away from the corpse. Her eyes, red with the thirst for blood, stared into his grey ones and she blinked at him. Law found himself looking over her pale but beautiful face as she licked her lips clean of deer's blood, and he soon found himself staring into violet eyes filled with curiosity. The hunter and vampire continued to stare at one another for a few moments before Law shook his head, his face hardening and he put his finger to the trigger. The female vampire's eyes went to his finger on the trigger, not a hint of fear in her eyes, and then looked back at his face.

She stood slowly and let he arms hang by her sides, she didn't move. She tilted her head and smiled at him. "Well, if you're going to kill me. Do it then," she spoke, not a hint of fear in her voice.

Law was shocked, he never knew a vampire that would /allow/ him to shoot them. He was taken aback and sent her a confused look. "Never have I met a vampire that was eager to die..."

She laughed shortly, "You'd shoot me either way, hunter. I am a vampire after all. I just don't want to fight you, there is no need of fighting. I die no matter what, right?"

The hunter looked at her warily and then took a step forward, pistol still on the vampire. "Why did you not attack me? You attacked a deer but not me..."

She smirked, "Would you rather I attack you? I could arrange that if you'd like."

Law did not find that amusing.

She sighed, "I don't drink blood from humans, if you must know. I only drink the blood of animals. Never human blood."

Law never heard of a vampire who didn't drink human blood. This was something new. He stared at her, not saying a word as he felt his hand slacking.

She watched the gun in his hand and then looked back up to his face. "I promise you that is the truth. I don't want to hurt you, hunter." She stepped forward and Law's hand rose again. She stopped walking, her violet eyes staring into his.

And that was when the sound of a gun going off sounded.
