One Piece Law Light Novel

There is no way they will return to your side.Huh? What are you talking about, papi? Did you lose your mind, or what? Oh no ... I think I know! You didn't make the trip here to leave empty-handed! How much do you want me to pay you? Five hundred thousand berries? A million? You come to give me back my precious tools, it is normal that I reward you!Your ... tools? Wolf replies, raising his eyebrows.

He gives the man a hostile look like I have never seen.

Unfortunately for you, I did not bring them to your house with the idea of returning them to you.What?You and your wife made Penguin and Shachi commit crimes ranging from smuggling weapons to breaking into jewelry stores. Is this the strict truth?Tss! You little shits! You've spoken, eh ?! What a bunch of cretins you are ... I had not yet trained you properly, I see!

Drunk with anger, the man raises his fist as he walks towards Penguin and Shachi.

Is it fear that paralyzes them like this? Still, their bodies are completely stiffened and they remain planted there, in the total inability to avoid the blow that is dealt to them.

A punch stops dead by Wolf.

Oh, let go of me, old man! But ... This ... Where does this strength come from? Stop, you're going to crush my hand!I imagine that's how you hit them on multiple occasions?Yeah, so what ?! What is wrong with that? I offered them a place to live after their parents died! I also knew how to brilliantly use these two horns, these scraps of society! And when they screw up, they eat each other a loaf of bread, normal! This is the only way to make good tools! These two little guys should thank me for having them shaped!

Chills run through my body without stopping. Except that unlike earlier, they are no longer due to fear. Anger rises from deep within my bowels, the anger to see Shachi and Penguin, my friends, taunt like this.

Don't make fun of them!

I quickly realize that it's me who just screamed. I couldn't control my emotions, this mixture of grief and sadness.

These boys are my precious teammates! And I don't allow a scum like you to call them "tools"!Law...

I hear Shachi's tearful voice.

So you don't understand ... what they may have felt? Their parents die ... they no longer have any adults to rely on ... and now they are forced to commit crimes ... Can you imagine how painful it must have been for them?!I find that you open it a little too much for a simple kid! So listen to me well! These two, I agreed to collect them! I offered them a place to sleep and something to eat! Finally, "eat" is a big word for what I gave them. It looked more like rat food ... but it was more than enough for them!A sort of...

Unable to suppress my anger any longer, I rush towards him with the firm intention of hitting him. However, at the same time, faster than me …

Enough, shut up.

Wolf's fist thrusts violently into the man's stomach.

U... Ugh...

Then the man collapses and loses consciousness.

Shachi! Penguin! Wolf yells at the top of his chest. You are not tools! And even less not guys that nobody wants! In my eyes, what has this man just said, there is really nothing to offend you!

Throughout his speech, Bepo and I remain standing. Shachi and Penguin, meanwhile, kneel down and cry bitter tears. They would have had a mountain of things to say, but Wolf did it for them.

Wolf! What happened?

Rad appears, the policeman from earlier, probably alert by the noise, who comes running, out of breath.

Here, Rad, you hit the nail on the head. This man and his wife, who must be somewhere in the house, force children to smuggle weapons and break into shops in town. I would like you to search the building right away.I have heard about this family for a long time, but ... I cannot organize a search until I have hard evidence …Hmmm! Do you want proof? Here, there it is! I stole these documents from the organization with which this man is on the title of the products, their quantity, and even the name of this guy.But ... how could you …It's been a month since I gathered information from the inhabitants to finally find the place where they were hiding. It was only yesterday, when I was picking up this piece of paper, that I had to use my fists.Mister junk, don't tell me that ... is that what you've been doing in town for a month?Yes. To be honest, I didn't think it would take me that long. Not to mention this little fight against five buggers at the same time, I had for my trouble.

So that's why Wolf has been going to town every day lately … And the story of the five-on-one fight ... He's awfully tough, in fact, our old friend.

Great, now I have the evidence to conduct a search. Wait here for me, I am coming back with men.

Shortly after, a crowd of policemen formed and entered the house.

As Wolf promised, inside they find a wealth of evidence attesting to the crimes of the uncle and aunt. Not only about the misdeeds Shachi and Penguin had spoken about, but also about the sale of narcotics and an upcoming project to kidnap children and sell them off the island.

The officers then arrest the two criminals and then take them to the station. Rad takes off his hat and tilts his head towards Wolf:

You will have given yourself a lot of trouble, thank you.I didn't expect kids to work so seriously. We will say that it was a bonus to congratulate them.You'll never change, Wolf. You always choose to take care of us and it is you who drool the most.Be careful of what concerns you, Rad. This lifestyle suits me perfectly.

Hearing these words, Rad laughs.

Wolf pouted a little, pursing his lips and looked away so no one could see his embarrassment.

Wolf! Penguin and Shachi cried, running up to him.Oh, the kids ... Sorry for that spectacle, it was not pretty to see. But at least now that their crimes have been brought to light, you can be sure no one will come up and blame you for anything. You will be able to continue working with peace of mind.

Wolf crouched down in front of them both, resting his right hand on Shachi's head and his left hand on Penguin's. Then he stroked it to them with such vigor that they were quite messed up.

No one will ever scare you again.

As soon as Wolf has finished speaking, Shachi and Penguin come to snuggle up to his chest and cry hot tears there. Despite the sobs and the snot flowing from their noses, Wolf hugs them tightly against him, a smile on his lips.

Law, would that mean that from the start, Wolf has been struggling for us?Who knows ... I retort sharply.

The answer is too obvious to dare ask the question.

An impressive crowd then rushes to accompany us to the exit of the city that we are leaving. As this morning, the buggy transports us by making resound its powerful engine noise. A noise which, at the moment, seems strangely pleasant to us.

Pfiou, what a day. It happened, things, almost too much my age. But I hope you kids know that things don't start until tomorrow! It won't be easy to work outside while still helping out at home! At the slightest blunder on your part, it will be my fist in the face.

One by one, we all tell him that we agree. But we are also at the end of the roll, on the knees. Even more than physical fatigue, it is our nerves and our morale that are undermined.

With all the "adults" that we have met and with whom we have spoken today, nothing could be more normal. But we have to admit that it was not that bad.

Say, Wolf…Hm? What is it, Bepo?

The bear had spoken unconsciously.

The policeman earlier asked you the question, but you really don't intend to move to town? Not only did everyone seem to like you a lot, it would also be a lot more convenient for all courses.You heard what I said back to him, right? I am fully satisfied with the life I lead now. First, what would you do if an explosion due to my experiences happened in the middle of the city, eh? Then ... no, that's it. One thing is certain, it is better for everyone that I live outside.

We do not interfere more, because his last words have a scent of loneliness that pushes us to opt for restraint. As I have my past, and as Bepo has his, Wolf also certainly has a story of his own. It would be a mistake on our part to try to find out more about what only concerns him.

B... But!

From his back seat, Penguin exclaims:
