ONE [Video/Action]
[VIDEO.]
[The face on the screen isn't one that would be considered friendly. It's the face of a man in his late twenties with bags under his eyes that are so heavy it looks as if he hasn't slept in at least a month. He frowns, taking a moment to think as he sighs heavily.]
I'll make this brief. My name is Trafalgar Law and I, like many others, am new to this city. I've read the pamphlets, I've seen the video, and I've done some preliminary information gathering so I don't need any hellos or welcomes.
I'm looking for my crew. If you know of anyone who claims affiliation with the Heart Pirates, I'd appreciate it if you could point me in their direction.
[And with that the video feed is cut. No pleasantries included.]
[ACTION.]
[Law has only been here for a couple of days by this point, so he'll be spending most of his time wandering the city in order to get his bearings. He's also looking for a job. Surely there's a need for a doctor somewhere.]

Woah woah. Calm down, man. I'm not here to get into a major battle or anything, it's just about testing skills and seeing what you've got.
After all, you're the one looking after my little brother, right? Or he's looking after you. Either way, I'm not into trashing his little friends.
no subject
As Ace puts up his hands, he moves his own away from his sword, still watching the man's every move, analyzing his every word. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't a bit surprised by this. He hadn't expected an explanation (he wouldn't expect one from Straw Hat-ya, that's for sure). Maybe he's projecting too much of what he knows of Luffy onto him, but it's still too early to tell.
But then he says that and Law can't help but sigh.]
It's not like that. We're allies. We're not friends and no one's looking after the other. He's helping me and I'm helping him. That's it.
[At least, that's how it should be. He's well aware that Luffy thinks -- and most likely says -- otherwise.
He regains his previous composure easily enough though. He cocks his head with a wry smirk.]
Just what makes you think you can take me so easily?
no subject
[he's kind of jealous actually. Ace isn't used to the idea still of Luffy relying on anyone but him and it's one thing when it's squishy nakama and another when it's a guy with an attitude of his own]
I don't know, rookie, why do you think?
no subject
But whatever, Law's got more than enough attitude, Ace.
Something in his eyes flashes at the word "rookie", the smirk on his face growing even wider.]
Careful, Fire Fist. You don't know what you're up against.
no subject
No I don't.
But I wouldn't mind finding out how it feels.
[he likes your smirk, rookie. He likes it a lot. In more ways than one.]
no subject
Things Law did not expect today: THIS.
It's not something that shakes him, though. That smirk stays firmly in places as he raises an eyebrow.]
I'm sure you would.

Still, his guard is far from lowered and he is absolutely still watching Ace's every move. Analyzing. Calculating.
For the briefest of moments he even entertains goading him on just to see what he'd do. It's a thought that immediately vanishes because there's more than one reason why he absolutely shouldn't.
He shrugs, amused.]
I think they're comfortable, but I was under the assumption that you didn't come here to admire my wardrobe.
no subject
[stops in front of him and grins]
What did you come here to do?
no subject
[Because despite some of his more reckless decisions and impulses there isn't much that he does without one. Even today he's out here walking around with purpose. His goal was to learn the layout of the city and, if they were here, find his crew.
Obviously he can take into account some hiccups. He's yet to find out if he's taken the hiccup that is Ace into enough consideration.]
no subject
[whatever this guy is up to looks like trouble and Ace is all about that]
no subject
[It could be boring, Ace.
Spoilers: It's boring.]
no subject
[he'll make it exciting]
no subject
He quietly sidesteps Ace and starts walking again.]
Then let's get going. We've got some ground to cover.
no subject
[smacks his ass]
Where are we going?
no subject
Nowhere in particular just yet. I only woke up here a couple of days ago so I'm still trying to learn the layout of the city. I'm curious to see if any of my crew is here, too.
[Though since Ace has been here longer than he has he might as well ask.]
You haven't met any other pirates here who've said they're part of the Heart Pirates, have you?
no subject
That's your plan? Rookies... [he's still into tagging around behind him though]
No. What do they look like? [digs a finger in his own ear]
no subject
They all wear jumpsuits with our mark on them. The two most easily recognizable would be Bepo and Jean Bart. Bepo's a polar bear and Jean is easily three times my size.
no subject
So are you going to set up territory here or...?
no subject
I'm a pirate, not a member of a street gang.
[So, no. The answer is no. Unless there's a really damn good reason for it.]
