Author's POV

Kidd excitedly busted the front door open and peered into the almost empty room like a freaking killer seeking it's prey, he was determined to fly through this hob interview or whatever with flying colors.

Law though, calmly walked up to the familiar man behind the desk and gently smirked at the figure he called his amazing foster father.

"Hello Cora-san!"

The dork king suddenly blinked rapidly at his monitor and immediately gave the guardian angel a huge goofy grin in recognition of his beloved son's voice.

"LAW!!"

The blond shot up and gave the raven a huge bear hug, and almost tipping over his fucking coffee in the process.

"Hey, I missed ya too dork, even if I saw you yesterday" he mumbled the last part to himself, "well I-" Cora then noticed the other man in the room and stared at him from head to toe before whistling and slinging his arm around Law's shoulders.

"Well aren't you just a cutie magnet? Bringing all these cute guys in here with ya, first it was that adorable new friend of your's and now this!"

Law blushed a faint red and swiftly removed himself from his dad's grasp, now standing beside the equally blushing Kidd.

Kidd turned away from the giggling blond and scowled in embarrassment, who did this guy think he is!? "Cora-san he's my new lost soul, Eustass Kidd, we're here to get him a job"

Cora pouted at the explanation and collapsed with a loud sigh into his seat (we all feel ya Cora).

"Come on Law! I'm an old man in need of grandkids! At least once bring in a guy who's your man for a visit!, or maybe some good news~" Law was now flushing a deep red and loudly coughing in a desperate move to change the conversation.

"O-okay now we're getting off topic here" Cora smiled and looked back to his desktop with a small smile in victory.

"Okay what job does mister Kidd here want?"

"Punisher" Law simply stated, Cora froze in his typing and quirked an eyebrow giving Law the 'are-you-serious?' face (oh god).

Law just stared back at him with a look that said, 'I'm-fucking-serious-and-I-don't-care-I-like-him-so-shut-the-frick-up-and-don't-embarrass-me'.

Cora smiled in bright joy and silently fist pumped the air with an equally as silent cheer as he finished typing with one hand, and with only accidentally stabbing his fingers once too ^^.

"Okay, now you two just wait in the lobby while I call the head of punishment squad G5"

The two nodded and headed towards the small lobby-like room without hesitation, there Law took a seat in the dark brown couch while Kidd sat in the nearby bright green arm chair.

The two sat in silence until one of the other people waiting in the lobby decided to start a conversation.

"Kidd-kun, I see you died as well" the redhead looked up and came face to face with Nico Robin (HA u thought it was gonna be a supernova didn't ya!?).

"Nico Robin, nice to see you" Law pleasantly purred, sounded like the guy was real happy it wasn't another supernova this time around.

The two were good acquaintances for their shared love of silence and thick, old books.

Kidd noticed the two old paper wings on her back, you could see words of all kinds written on them in fancy ink writing but none of the letters or symbols were in english.

"Nice wings, very...classy" the woman's cheeks rosied and she smiled, "thank you" (no she does NOT have a crush on him she's just flattered is all)

Wanting to keep the chat going Kidd continued making the other two pleased, "So..how's Strawhat going?" The woman fondly grinned and chuckled making the ink on her wings ripple like the surface of a lake.

"He's just fine, Luffy-kun's been doing a great job as a defender, he gets to go on a new adventure every week at least, he'll be especially happy to know you're here"

Law hummed and awkwardly smiled as his wings softly flapped a bit one reflex, now knowing to expect that he'll eventually have a visit from him soon.

The guardian opened his eyes and lazily scanned her wings with mild intrest, "and how have you been doing? Still as a protecter I presume? Or did you finally decide on becoming a nurturer?"

Robin simply nodded and remained silent, guess she meant the first one? But she was probably just messing with them.

"Um, so why ya here?"

Robin smiled enjoying the small talk, "I'm just waiting for my new protectie to arrive so I can bring it to the library/museum"

This caught Law's attention as he lazily sat up, "Don't deliverers do that kind of stuff?" At that perfect moment when she was about to respond, Cora poked his head into the room with a slightly tired expression.

"Law? The G5 is ready for your lost soul to come take his test" the raven deflated a tad but nodded anyway and gave Kidd a supportive pat on the back, "just think of it as a normal job interview okay?"

The redhead confidently nodded and left the room with the blond leaving Law alone in the room for quite the while.

"You like him~" Robin cooed.

Law snorted, "so what of it?" The protecter only laughed at his cocky responce.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kidd continued to frown at the leader of G5, Smoker, he was a real bastard was all Kidd could say about him so far, all work and no play made the redhead a miserable man.

"Okay brat, being a punisher isn't as easy, or fun as you think, ya gotta be fierce, prepared, nasty, determined, relentless, show no mercy got it!?" The gang leader grimaced as little specks of spit flew by his face, who did this guy think he was? Some kind of navy instructor?

"Got it old man" if he thought Kidd was gonna bow down and kiss his ass just because the guy was a 'superior' then that bastard was so sadly wrong.

But suprisingly, the man grinned and patted his shoulder in a rough form of affection, "no respect for authority, that's a good sign, you just might make it"

Kidd was just going to question the guy's moral values until he was shoved into a darker room, "okay! If ya wanna be a punisher then pass this test!!" Smoker's voice boomed from the other side.

Kidd turned around and took a good look in the room he was in.

It was creepy, dirty and musty with stains of who knows what all over the walls, right next to the door was a table with a loaded gun on it and at the end of the room was an angel tied to a chair with a bag on his head.

"This angel broke the rules, now punish him"
