Trafalgar Law's story is one of sadness.
He used to live in a pretty happy family. His father was the best doctor in White Town. He had living parents and a cute little sister. Because of his family, he studied medicine from a young age. He was supposed to have a healthy and happy life.
But it was all ruined by Lead Poisoning Disease...
Lead Poisoning Disease wasn't even contagious, but the World Government told the whole world that it was. This made people extremely scared and disgusted by those who had it.
In the end, White Town, which used to be a paradise, became hell.
Faced with blockades from surrounding countries, the people of White Town, almost all infected with Lead Poisoning Disease, refused to just die and fought back. This place was where lead came from, so they could make lots of weapons.
They charged outwards, hoping to get treatment, but the surrounding countries feared them like snakes and scorpions, using even stronger violence to block them.
So, from that day on, this country heard gunshots and explosions every day. Every day, people died, either from guns or from Lead Poisoning Disease.
Law, whose father was a doctor, saw too much death, and even his heart became numb.
He was also unwilling and angry, but he believed his father would find a way to treat Lead Poisoning Disease. Whenever he was tormented by the disease or saw his sister in pain, his father was the only light in his life.
However...
That light went out too.
He heard two gunshots, and his parents became two dead bodies...
Because of the long war, people in the surrounding countries hated those with Lead Poisoning Disease even more. Some armies even put on protection and entered the country to clear them out.
His parents died in such a cleanup, so he was in despair. When he came back to his senses, the hospital was already on fire.
The hissing sound of the flames burning pulled Law back to reality. He looked at the hospital and saw the fire. He felt a pain like his heart was being torn apart.
His sister, Lami, was still in the hospital!
The area around the hospital was covered in bodies, even lots of children's bodies. Not long ago, they were still trying to live, wanting to get treatment and survive in the hospital. But now, they were just cold corpses.
"Lami!"
Law shouted Lami's name in pain. The death of his parents and the hospital fire made him feel like he wanted to die. His brain was hit hard. Tears flew out like crazy. In this extreme pain, his brain even stopped working.
But then, a hand touched his shoulder. The hand was soft, but it felt warm at that moment.
"How sad. Is your family... in the hospital?"
A voice entered Law's mind, instantly pulling him back from the nightmare. When he came back to his senses, he saw a woman standing in front of him.
She had captivating eyes, with circles that seemed to form a path straight to the soul. She had pink hair with smooth bangs on both sides of her forehead.
She wore a white shirt and black pants, with a black tie on the shirt. In the light of the fire, she also wore a black coat.
In the firelight, she looked like an angel, and the flames were like holy light.
"I..."
Law looked at the woman, his mind still not back to normal. But then, he quickly pleaded, "Please... please save my sister!"
"Your sister is in the hospital?" the woman asked softly.
"Yes! My sister Lami. Please, you have to save her! I'll do anything! As long as you can save my sister! I'll even be your dog!"
Law was sad, but not stupid. Looking at Makima's clothes, he knew this woman was not simple.
Also, she was followed by several men in black. They stood behind her in a very orderly way. Even the most elite army he had seen didn't have that kind of presence.
"Heh..."
Hearing his words, the pink-haired woman just smiled a little. She gently patted Law's head and said softly, "Then..."
"The deal is done."
Deal?
He didn't care about any deal, and he didn't understand what deal. He just wanted to save his sister!
Save his sister Lami!
Then, the woman moved.
Faced with the burning hospital, the woman walked in as if it were a normal hospital, with no fire at all.
Law stared blankly at the woman's back. He only saw one person, no, an angel, slowly walking into the holy light. The raging flames were nothing in front of her.
Then, the woman disappeared.
She had entered the hospital.
Law's body suddenly went limp on the ground. Too much had happened in a very short time, and he felt a huge pressure. At this moment, all the pressure seemed to be released at once, and he was exhausted.
Could the woman save his sister?
Law was still nervous, but when he saw the men in black around him, he felt a lot more relaxed.
There was no worry on these men's faces. They were just as solemn, strong, and powerful as before.
Just as he thought, in the blazing fire, a woman walked out of the collapsing hospital. Behind her was the fire, but all the fire seemed to avoid her, letting her walk through, not even burning her clothes. Her hair was still smooth and...
Beautiful.
Law was stunned. He could only stare blankly as the woman walked over. In her arms, she was holding...
"Lami!"
Law suddenly woke up, and a feeling of joy, endless joy, rushed from his heart. He didn't know where he got the strength, but he ran madly forward, towards Makima.
The woman squatted down and handed the unconscious Lami to Law, who was running over.
Lami had burn marks, but they weren't serious. She was unconscious and still breathing. She was even more peaceful than when she was awake and suffering from Lead Poisoning Disease.
"Lami..."
Law was excited but didn't dare to wake his sister. He could only hug her gently and look gratefully at the woman who had saved his sister. "Thank you, thank you so much! My name is Trafalgar Law. From now on, my life is yours!"
"Oh, I still don't know your name!"
The woman looked at the excitement and gratitude in Law's eyes, smiled softly, and said her name.
"Makima."
