One Piece Law Light Novel

- I would like to thank you once again for saving my life. I am also grateful to you for allowing me to stay here. Pleased to meet you!

With these words, I extend my right hand to him.

Wolf chuckles, snorting and holding out his hand to me.

- I will make you work until exhaustion! It takes something to honor a "give and take"!

This is how my life began alongside Wolf.

I get up at the same time as the sun, help him working on his inventions and in the fields, devour a lot of books, eat a hot meal, train myself in the handling of the sword with a weapon that he has given me, loaned, and when evening comes, we both chat and laugh.

Our daily life is quiet and peaceful.

I am relatively surprised by the work in the fields. As the winter on Swallow Island is long, its hould in principle be difficult to grow vegetables there. But Wolf built a plastic greenhouse at the back of his house with a function to regulate the temperature and the degree of light, so that he could grow crops all year round.

- So, Law, what do you say ?! Thanks to my "Vege vege no 7", greenhouse cultivation becomes possible! In the future, I would like to grow more to sell my production in town.

The name of his inventionmay suck, but the results are worth it. And I must admit that I appreciate to bring my help in the manufacture of objects which can be useful to all.

Some days we also go out hunting together. At first, the idea of seeing this respectable aged person standing alone in front of a wild boar or a deer was not reassuring me, but I quickly noticed that Wolf was belaying with the rifle and that he was almost slaughtering all his targets on the first try. I once asked him why he was shooting so well, but he evaded my question by answering that he once practiced. I didn't look any further.

With Wolf, we have our meals, we laugh and we discuss everything and nothing. However, I refrain from intruding too much on his privacy. Same for him, he is not clingy and does not treat me like a child.

This distance between us suits me perfectly.

Wolf has a habit of going to town once a week to sell his inventions and vegetables, and then to buy the essentials for everyday life. As for me, if possible, I prefer to stay here. No need to force myself to hang out with the people of the city.

At least, that's what I thought.

Wolf is just fine, I'm tired of reading medical textbooks, so I go for a walk to take my mind off things. A month has passed since Wolf took me in, and I have become quite used to what is called a normal life. Despite everything, I remain without a "goal". But I sometimes think that after all, it's not that bad.

As I approach the entrance to the forest, thinking about all this, I see a polar bear and two children.

- Stop! Stop!

The polar bear speaks.

What is that?

Does a talking bear really exist? It's true that I've heard of a talking reindeer before, so after all why not a bear?

At first glance, the irrelationship does not seem very friendly. The two boys keep kicking in the back of the bear which opposes no resistance.

- Hey, hey, he might be a bear, but he's awfully weak! mock the boy in the cap by nudging the animal's head with his elbow.

- Go! Go back wisely to where you come from, in the forest!

This time it's the boy wearing a hat with "Penguin" written on it that hits the bear.

Aah, how stupid they can be.

Faced with this spectacle to say the least unpleasant, I unconsciously click my tongue: "tss". Disturbed by this noise, the two acolytes look in my direction.

- What's wrong with you?! You have a problem? Get out of there! The boy in the cap let go some of these gangster words.

- No, I don't have a problem. I'm not interested in you or this bear. Do what you want.

- But it is because he dares to fart it, moreover! If there is one thing that I don't like, it's the guys who tell it to each other... So you know what? If you put down everything that you have of value, maybe we'll let go!

This time it's the "Penguin" hat trick to look for me.

No matter where the wind takes me, I always have to run into trouble.

- No more showing off, spill out the money! they shout, both rushing towards me, knife and bat in hand.

„Room"! As I let that word escape in a small voice, a dome-shaped circle appears with me in its center.

- W... What is this?!

- Are we locked up ?!

Perfect, everything works, by dint of training without Wolf's knowledge, I ended up mastering the powers of the scalpel fruit. I can now move and manipulate whatever is inside the circle as I please.

I then grabbed two stones which were at my feet and threw them high into the sky.

And then...

„Shambles"!

The stones and the two boy sexchanged places, the latter two naturally finding themselves floating in the air before falling heavily to the ground and losing consciousness.

Humf...

I was thinking that inaddition to medical care, these powers could be effective in combat, but it exceeded all my expectations. But I would feel bad if these two were to die, so I examine them and find that they just passed out.

Well, here's one thing that's settled. Wolf should be home soon, I have to cook dinner.

As I set off towards the house, the polar bear grabs my clothes.

- A ... Wait!

- What?!

- Thank you for coming to my aid. I was so scared that ... that I could not put up any resistance to them ...

- You're welcome, but they' were rushing at me, that's why I attacked them. It wasn't to help you.

- It doesn't matter! I'm still super happy!

As he says these words, the polar bear still clinging to my clothes starts to cry. Unbelievable...

Since I don't feel like he's going to let me go anytime soon, we both go to the nearest cave to chat.

- Why haven't you responded to their blows? You are a polar bear, after all, you are certainly stronger than them.

- Yes, but ... They are the ones who came to talk to me.

- So what?

- I thought maybe we could be friends.

- What? Is that what you were thinking while they were hitting you ?!

- Yes. I told myself that if I stayed quiet, if I didn't resist, maybe we would end up becoming friends ...

- „Friends".

I am hearing that word for the first time in a long time.

I don't have any more friends. They are all burnt to death. For a moment, I remember my family and all my church friends. Aah, that's not a bad memory.

Come to think of it, the presence of this polar bear here, alone, seems strange to me. If that happens, he lives in solitude, without anyone, like me not long ago. It's where I'm starting to get interested in his situation.

- Say, do you live in the area?

- No, I only arrived on this island yesterday. I don't know anyone and I have nowhere to go.

- And before, where did you live?

- In the New World, do you know?

- Yes, I've heard of it before.
