The boy of sea and storm

Chapter 2: The Soccer Boy

Hi! I published earlier than expected because my friend Chainedkura translated Chapter 2 to go out at the same time with the Spanish one. From now on, the publication will be on Sundays ♥ The story is finished "I recently finished it and I already miss it. Thanks to those who read and commented. It was beautiful to read authors that I had read here myself.

I have an important recommendation: Daena Blackfyre is publishing another fanfic —also finished— called Dysphoria. It's from Ace and Sabo, but there is also Luffy and Law being babys, Corazon being a great support, and a great extravagant and BEAUTIFUL family. Dysphoria is a very important story for both of us because I helped writing it and we also used personal experiences for Luffy and Law's childhood and Sabo and Ace's adolescence. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL STORY.

Law bandaged the burned area on Tama's arm and sighed. Neither had suffered severe burns and it was a good thing considering what the fire had been. Unfortunately, he couldn't ask the family to be relieved or happy because they had lost their home. In neighborhoods like Gray Terminal, the houses were built precariously, one on top another, without blueprints and built by the own families. Law was fully aware that where the State wasn't present, people organized to create their own living conditions. With few resources, those conditions could sometimes be very vulnerable. Houses like Tama and his family's had many failures, and accidents were more likely to happen.

He didn't know what to say when he saw the girl's watery eyes; her face dirty with soot. He could see her sadness through the mask that oxygenated her lungs. Her parents had already been taken care of and only Luffy was left, who hadn't taken major injuries, but he had to see them anyway.

He stroked the girl's hair and smiled softly. He had no answers to the situation, and no solutions to give her. He imagined that the Kamabakka would do some events in the community to raise money or gather some materials for Tama's family. They used to do things like that when someone in the organization needed it.

He opened the door and let out the girl who hugged her parents. Law's office, which Marco and Ivan used when it was their shift, was now covered in soot and dirt. They would have to clean it up when they were done with that, but it wasn't even a major issue at the time. He called Luffy through the door and saw the boy get up from the waiting seats.

"Go eat something in the dining room," he said to Tama's family. "Paty-ya just arrived and is preparing something for you. You can also take a shower at the gym lockers, there are clothes in one of the closets."

If it wasn't for the Kamabakka they probably wouldn't eat that night. He was grateful that Sanji was so considerate of texting his colleagues to go to the organization. Paty hadn't seen the messages from the fire, but as soon as Sanji called him, he ran to the neighborhood to help. It was good to have such committed people.

"I'm worried about where they're going to sleep tonight," Luffy mused out loud as Law moved closer to better inspect his wound. It was just on his shoulder and there was no fabric that could have stuck to the burn because he was wearing a vest. He still needed to look at it better.

"We're going to take them to Shirohige's," he said, filling a bowl with cold water from the small faucet in one of the corners of the office. "Tama-ya was there as a child too, before she could live with her parents again."

The girl was wandering on the street for a time until Shirohige took her in. Her father had been detained for stealing some food and her mother had several drug problems that had temporarily taken away her daughter's custody. Until both of their issues were resolved, the legal situation of the father was regularized and the rehabilitation of the mother, Tama did not return with them. They had started their family life just under a year ago and were still learning how to live together.
