He is the demon I cling to...

Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain,

even after three times he betrays me...

A king with no crown, king with no crown!

[No one's  P.O.V.]

"Hey, Kid?" Y/n worriedly looked up at the redhead. "Are you ok?" As her hand lightly touched his, the man suddenly shuddered, just like some low Voltage electricity went through him and caused stingy pain on his skin. His hand retracted a bit, leaving the girl's hand in mid-air.

In return, he frowned and briefly nodded, not only ignoring her confused expression but also making her stunned. The girl searched the reason behind it and when she noticed that Kid's eyes were fixated on something beyond her vision and carefully observed the particular thing that forced him to lose all focus around, she was certain this was the culprit.

What Y/n didn't know was that the redhead watched the spreading passiveness on the blonde's face, estimating the chances of him indulging the rising rage within him or going berserk at any given opportunity.

When Law finally dismissed all of them, the redhead immediately made a sharp turn to the bar, where he hoped he would spend his entire free time drinking, while Y/n was by Bonney's side.

Only one thought was repeatedly messing with Kid's mind... He despised how things were turning out. The unexpected shock from the three males made him furious. Furious enough to awake his bloodlust and efficiently snap their necks in half. But every time an idea like that crossed his mind, he was struck by a memory of Y/n's reaction. Fear and sadness.

Shit.

As the mood swings shifted, so did the timing of one condition. He was used to getting what he wanted. The redhead held the rein to everything he desired and was on disposal, close to his reach. No matter with method he had to use, physical or psychical, he was a master at breaking people's will to live and break their souls apart until only ashes of them remained.

Then the subordinates would do the dirty job instead of him, clearing his path and nonetheless his infamous name for the sake of not being caught by the authorities. Because a mere puppet was useless to him. Unlike Doflamingo, toying with easily convinced, docile people didn't give him the thrill to play mind games.

No, he wished for strong individuals with strong desire to live. To fight back and not bow on someone's command.

And that's exactly what he found in those three brothers. The most interesting was certainly the little pipsqueak, Luffy. Simple-minded or not, his confidence was beyond anyone's he had ever seen before. Today's confrontation confirmed his allegation. The freckled boy beside him, going under the name Ace, was a hard nut to crack. With the free-spirited exterior of his, the raven was sending the world a happy-go-lucky aura.

But the redhead's senses had been sharpened to the extent of literally reading the true personalities behind every hidden object or living beings.

And Ace was no exception to his ability.

But those two were the least problematic. That guy Sabo... That fucking ubiquitous smirk of his...

He likes, Y/n, huh? Well Romeo... He took a quick shot. You can just fuck yourself and go back to your daddy dearest.

The air became thicker at the bar. It developed into a perilously threat to the other inhabitants of the mansion where there was no one that could stop him. Fear took care of everyone's courage. He only knew one person that could persuade him from raging any further.

But that person is now being targeted not just by one, but also an additional player. Fucking great!

Kid licked the drops of alcohol that were hanging from the corners of his mouth an rose the small glass to his lips. The cold beverage calmed down his erupted anger and relaxed the tensed muscles.

Sabo strutted towards the crowd, presenting a confident serious face. "If not..." The blond took Y/n's hand and pulled her close to him. "We will take her.

Kid's eyes shoot open, waking him up from his dazed reverie. The boiling rage resulted in sending the fragile object from his tightly clutched hands to the wall, shattering the priceless antique in thousand small pieces. A sudden rush to blow up something struck him. His muscles began aching from anticipation to throw quick fierce punches at anyone who would dare to just make an eye contact in his current condition.

You maggot...Sabo, by the end of this nightmare, you'll wish to never cross paths with me. I promise you that, you little shit.

With his last statement in mind, he barked at the poor bartender for another shot, which was immediately put before him.

Gulping it down, the liquid enveloped his throat in a sting feeling that loosened up when it was all gone.

"And yet...Disguise?" He mocked... "I'm surrounded by bunch of cowards..."

[Normal P.O.V.]

Our meeting was dismissed after two good hours of negotiations and the butlers announced lunch at 14.30, which meant some free time before we reconciled again. After he referred our plan as a plain 'disguise', Law refused to say anything more, implying that we should patiently wait for the others to come.

The longer I waited for his explanation, the more I began conceiving my own theories. Which all of them resulted in a messy confusion.

Thank goodness I'm not the one in charge for preparing plans. I'd have been a goner by now.

Sincerely speaking, the whole drama was presumably the highlight of my day, because I didn't see any hope in further communication with Kid, whereas he refused to look at me ever since Sabo and Ace came and didn't let me out of their sight. Unfortunately for them, their sworn duty didn't last too long. Their older brother immediately called them to a private room, only to be scolded like some five-year-old's.

Kid didn't even wait for me, but immediately stormed off, leaving me behind. It was 2 hours after that I saw him again. I left Bonney by herself, proclaiming I need to take a stroll around the mansion just to loosen up a bit. I'd not anticipated to come across the redhead in the gym. Well, to be exact, I only saw him from the see-through walls, silently observing the weight-lifting. It was unexpected for me to catch the male; his normal black t-shirt being replaced by a sleeveless shirt and a towel that tightly hugged his neck. I could see drops of sweat pouring down his face as well as his upper torso that revealed the ripped back muscles.

"No need to stand there and watch me, mousy. I've already finished." I flinched by the mocking voice. I silently followed Kid with my eyes, from time to time checking up to the vibrant hair and almost hitting his hard back when he abruptly stopped. "Y/n?"

"Yes?"

"Those morons from before, how long have you known them?"

"Uh, w-why do you ask? It's not... Important..." I mumbled.

My eyes widened.

He abruptly turned to face me and yanked closer to my eyes, easily giving me the chance to detect the male's in detoxication with alcohol. I restlessly cowed backwards until I stumbled upon the wall, my back lightly touching the cold material as his large hands towered me from both sides of my head, caging me.

"Not important? Care to repeat that again, mousy?"

"You think I'm scared? Hey, stop laughing at me!" My voice rose in threat. I tried to lightly remove his grip on me, however he caught my trembling hands and firmly pressed them to the wall, making me gasp in astonishment.

"We need to start again with the training. Any shorter and you'd probably fade out of existence."

I huffed. "Mean." But I decided to bite my tongue when his face turned to a serious scowl.

"This is a lot harder than it looks and I don't think you realize it. Those bastards have their eye on you."

When I spoke, my voice trailed slowly. "They aren't bastard, but my friends. And I have known those three for ages. They are like brothers to me, so it's impossible for them to care about something like that." I silently whispered.

I thought my words would put him into ease, but instead, his mouth remained an uncharacteristic grim line.

"Oh yeah?" He mockingly cursed. "Well, I do damn care. One harbours perverted thought about you and watching from the side-lines isn't my way to handle situations that obviously concern me."

"Why do you think someone likes me?" I persistently struggled to detach attention to the sensible topic.

"It don't fucking care about their reasons, but only their intentions. I won't give you to anyone. And I'll repeat that until everyone remembers it. If not..." Kid grinned. "There are other ways to persuade that thought into their fucked-up minds."

I was feeling light-headed but upset at the same time. I had clearly forgotten that part of his personality, where he doesn't like to cooperate with others. Nor holds primal values.

His hand then changed position and rested on top of my head as he leaned closer to me. "I've said it before and I'm saying it now. I'm a fucking selfish bastard..." He mischievously grinned at me. "But that is what attracted you in the first place, huh mousy?" The redhead leaned to my neck, fanning it with his hot breath.

"This is going to hurt." Before I could realize the meaning behind his words, his teeth grazed the sensible skin and bit into it. The warmth and pain collided together, making it both pleasurable and unbarring.

"Hmm...K-K-Kid!" I stuttered. My voice was unusually crimpled. I barely restrained myself from moaning.

His lips parted a bit from the spot as he seductively whispered. "Mousy, you need to be quieter. Unless... You want everyone to hear your sexy voice?"

"Asshole." I breathed, my face radiating vigour and my lips all dried up.

Kid laughed into my skin and teased me with light kisses. "You know...You are cute when you're mad."

"I...can...literally kill...you."

"Oh, can you? Then please do show me!"

"I don't think it is fair if I'm captured like this. First, release me." My eyes glanced to my trapped hand.

"Tch, not so fast, Y/n. You are too ahead of yourself." While the male spoke, his lips simultaneously trailed lower and lower, until they reached the collarbone. "Try to fight me off."

"Y-you know I-I can't! You are two times my size, you b-bastard!" My voice sounded high due to the received intimidation, while my body felt weaker and weaker with each passing touch of his. Strange cravings were slowly creeping out on the surface, moans and sensations exchanging in between.

"That shouldn't be an excuse, mousy, and we both know that. So, if you won't try to fight back, then I'll just do what I want."

He brushed my hair back from my shoulder and moved in so close I could feel his lean body pressed up against mine.

My mind plugged itself out from normal function and was switched to anticipation. I wasn't aware of the fact that Kid noticed my hastened breathing.

He had slammed his lips to mine and slowly intensified the intimate touch, his tongue pressed to the seam of my lips and when I instantly granted him the access, he delved inside my mouth, exploring every part of it.

Even though I tried to put on a fight, I was constantly beaten, so letting him do whatever he wanted, was the right choice at that moment. I could nearly feel the slight burn of the alcohol as it rolled off my tongue and seeped down my throat with every push of his tongue against mine.

Kid's hand completely released me and wandered down to my spine, tugging me even closer to him. In an instant, he then pulled away and arched down to me, capturing my blurring glare and sore lips, carefully savouring every image of my ruined state. 

"You belong to me, got it?" Kid smugly grinned and pointed to the lower neck area. "Don't hide it. Cause I will make another one in an even more visible place." 

With that, he left me all confused and speechless on the empty hall, his words and tingling sensation echoing through my mind.

[Extra scene]

That idiot gave me hickey! And it's impossible to hide!

I groaned and pressed my forehead to the mirror. But I still feel happy...Is this how love should be? I smiled at my reflection and felt a bit proud. He cares for me...In a strange, bizarre, most certainly psychopathic way... But hey, who am I to judge?

But what was all that about Luffy, Ace and Sabo? Those really one of them like me in that way?

I shook my head.

No way! I mean, I have even shared baths with them when we were toddlers...well with Luffy.

An unfamiliar embarrassed expression of recognition washed my face.

But what if...What if he is right?

...

Well, shit.

My eyes immediately roamed around the room, searching for a particular requested object.

Where can I find a baseball bat?

I need to delete some unnecessary, highly uncensored memories...ASAP! Or else, someone is going to lose a head in the near future.
