So I took those grenades and strapped them to me. Insane, yes, but I nothing left to lose. [Nothing but his life, but at that point... wouldn't it have been a twisted mercy?] I infiltrated their base. I demanded entry to the crew.
I got Doflamingo's attention. It was like he... recognized something. And was intrigued by it. Very intrigued.
He decided to allow me to stay while he thought it over. Train with the officers and executives of the crew.
[Eyes slowly open again, and they're red with the Sharingan. Law had turned off the ability earlier during their conversation, but now it's come surging back.
Eyes that reflect the heart.]
He handed me off to Trebol and Diamante, two of the executives... the squad leaders of the crew. Not their real names, mind you... their titles. Most of that crew uses code names. Diamante was the leader of the combat division - he's the one who taught me swordsmanship... and Trebol was in charge of those who had unique abilities that would be... beneficial to Doflamingo's activities. I had yet to meet Pica, who was in charge of covert ops... and Corazon, the right hand...
They enjoyed poking me about my impending death, but they weren't treating me like a insidious plague monster. All and all... that wasn't bad treatment...
[If these aren't sounding like typical pirates... well, the hints had been in Law's own varied skills. The way he's oddly... ninja like in his own fashion.]
They had seen a lot of kids try to join, and practically all had been sent running. Most adults too. The lifestyle's harsh, the Donquixote Family's harsher. Then, on top of that there was Cora-san...
There were a few kids still left: Buffalo and Baby 5... Dellinger, who was an infant at the time. I saw the first two waiting at the window. They were eagerly anticipating something.
That's when Cora-san stomped in the door from a job. Slipped, and went flying. Baby 5 and Buffalo couldn't stop laughing and I couldn't stop staring. Pranked.
He sent them flying in turn.
Not that that would stop them from pranking him again. It was a vicious cycle. He'd abuse them, they'd find some way to humiliate him.
Then Cora-san turned his attention to me. Diamante explained that Cora-san was an executive and Doflamingo's brother. Inattentive, clumsy, really bad habit of setting himself on fire, idiotic... and mute due to trauma in his past. And... as Cora-san grabbed me... that he hated kids.
Then Cora-san threw me out the window. I went plummeting down two stories into a scrap heap of steel. It nearly killed me.
[There's such a strange mix of 'oh for god sakes', 'what the hell was I thinking?', horror, self loathing, and guilt in his next words.]
I decided to kill him on the spot.
[Not the first meeting you were expecting, right?!]
