13 Law, Tigers, And Gangsters Oh My

Standing outside the hospital Gilgamesh doesn't even knock on the door but pulls Enkidu straight inside.

With the opening of the door a bell chimes and alerts the receptionist behind the desk.

"Are you in need of medical assistance!"

A boy about two years older greets them from behind a desk. Judging by his appearance he appears to be standing on a stool to look over the counter.

Seeing the boy with dark eyes, a stern face, and wearing a big white hat staring menacingly at him Gilgamesh can't help but chuckle.

Releasing Enkidu's hand Gilgamesh jumps into the air and slams all his money on the desk. "Use this to buy as many medical supplies without amber lead as possible."

Hearing his words the boy instantly frowns and begins to scold "We're a Doctor's office, not a medical supply store!"

"Water Law" A voice comes from an open door behind the counter. A young woman with auburn hair, a round face, and kind eyes walks from behind the door. "You'll be an older brother soon, so you need to learn to be kinder." Placing her hand on Law's head she steps in front of the counter.

"Hmmmp" Listening to his mother's words Law turns his head in defiance and brushes off her hand.

"Hello children." The woman smiles towards Gilgamesh and Enkidu. "Is there a reason you need medical supplies, is someone hurt?"

Looking at the pregnant woman Gilgamesh pauses for a moment before shaking his head. "No one is hurt, but I'm going to start my pirate group today, and medical supplies are needed."

"You going to play pirates with your friends?" Picking up the money she counts briefly before walking towards the back again.

"Playing pirates? How childish." Curling his lips Law looks at Gilgamesh. "You shouldn't waste your time doing something stupid like that and study like me, I'm going to be a doctor like my father."

Gilgamesh just looks at the young law like seeing a monkey at the zoo. "I have no doubt you will become a great doctor, but sometimes life throws you a curveball."

Not expecting to be complimented Law is stunned into silence for a moment. "That's right."

A few seconds later the woman returns with a bag of gauzes and disinfectant. "If you get any cuts and bruises you kids can use this."

Taking the bag and handing it to Enkidu Gilgamesh looks at Law before turning to leave.

"My name is Gilgamesh and I will return the favor one day, till we meet again Trafalgar D Water Law."

As they walk out the door Gilgamesh wraps his arm around Enkidu's waist and shoots into the sky towards their boat to the surprise of the nearby people.

The door to the doctor's office bursts open and Law looks around. "How did that kid know my whole name?" Frowning slightly he walks back inside.

Flying at full speed it only takes a few seconds to arrive near their ship, but standing between them and the boat is the man from earlier and two of his friends.

"Why are you near my boat."

Hearing the voice from behind them the three men turn around. The man from earlier stands in the middle with a torch in his hands. "Kid I told you no one docks here without paying a fee, now your boat is toast." Waving the torch he looks at Gilgamesh.

Releasing Enkidu Gilgamesh takes a step forward. "Do you think this is a game?" Gilgamesh's face sinks and his eyes shift between the three men.

"A game?" The man smiles "How about we play how long you can scream while my men beat you to death?"

"Hehe leave it to us boss." The two men crack their knuckles and begin to walk forward slowly.

"Enkidu."

"Yes?" Looking at the situation in front of her Enkidu becomes slightly tense as she clings to the bag of goods.

"For today's lesson, I'm going to show you what to do with fools who show no respect." Placing his right hand towards his side he draws one of the pistols at his hip and points it straight towards his side.

"What are you going to do with a fake gun aimed like that?" The man sneers as he looks at Gilgamesh's foolish actions.

Gilgamesh pulls the trigger without any hesitation, causing a loud bang to resonate.

The bullet flies away from Gilgamesh and the men, but suddenly it curves a circle in the air and accelerates towards the men before piercing both henchmen through the sides of their head.

The man's mouth drops when he sees the bullet return into the barrel of the gun covered in blood and Gilgamesh hooking it to his side.

"Ahhhhhhhh! Murder!!!" The audience who have been watching a good show this whole time begins to run and scream.

The man drops his torch to the ground and begins backing up in a panic. "Wait! Wait! You don't have to pay!"

"You have way to much metal on your body." Gilgamesh cocks back his hand while holding out a single index finger. "Shigan!"

As Gilgamesh thrusts his finger forward the man flies towards Gilgamesh like a ragdoll. Due to his height, Gilgamesh has to thrust upward to even reach the man's upper body, but as he moves closer Gilgamesh's finger stabs into the man's abdomen.

The man's eyes go wide and Gilgamesh removes his bloody finger. As the man bends over in pain Gilgamesh grabs his coat and wipes the blood off his finger. "If you survive this remember not to mess with some people. One day when you are older you may be able to tell stories about me someday." Striding forward he no longer looks at the man.

Seeing Gilgamesh returning to the ship Enkidu rushes forward to board next to him.

Waving his hand causes the boat to return to sea amongst the stares of the crowd.

"Is it ok to leave like that? Are we going to get in trouble?" Enkidu looks curiously as the propeller and fins begin navigating the boat around the island.

"It doesn't matter anymore, they can't find us as long as we don't want them too. Besides, we are going to be pirates so we need to be famous."

"Oh, why do we need to be famous?"

"So people will respect us." Looking at Enkidu he can't help but smile "Store those things, we are going to pick up speed."

"Hmh" Holding the bag to her chest she slowly stores it inside.

Seeing her complete the task he rotates the propeller faster and continues heading west.

"Because the ship is too small to do any combat training let's continue education."

"Ok!" Turning towards Gilgamesh her eyes begin to shine. Even though he calls it education Enkidu sees it' more like story time.

"I've already told you about North, West, East, and South Blue so today I'll tell you about the grand line. The grand line circles around the entire planet, dividing it in half. The grand line is where all the powerful pirates and marines gather. Getting to the grand line is no easy feat though."

As he talks Enkidu listens and Gilgamesh focuses on not missing any more islands or ships.

For the next week and a half, Gilgamesh taught her about the grand line, the red line, the calm belt, the marines, and the world government. From the things Gilgamesh has told her Enkidu can be said to know more than the majority of the world on how things work. After telling her about the structure of the world he then explained the different types of devil fruits and how the limit of her fruit is her own imagination.

As time flies by they finally reached their destination.

Looking at the towering wall of land stretching into the clouds both Gilgamesh and Enkidu are speechless. "By crossing this wall we could arrive in East blue, but I plan to steer clear of that ocean. From here we can move along the red line and enter the back end of Paradise.

"Is it safe?" No longer completely ignorant Enkidu looks at Gilgamesh with worry.

"Well, we might be the first ones that I know of to cross like this." Taking a deep breath Gilgamesh slowly raises his hands. All ten rings slip from his fingers and move underneath the dingy.

Lifting his hands higher the entire boat lifts from the water and begins to float in the air. "Give me up!" Thrusting his hands into the air causes the whole ship to shoot upwards at incredible speeds.

"Wooow! Look the clouds are getting closer!" Enkidu becomes excited as they rise higher and higher.

Breaking into the cloud layer they finally see the top of the red line filled with trees. Pushing his hands forward the ship lands on top of the red line. When the ship lands all ten rings return to his fingers.

"We made it." Rising to his feet Gilgamesh looks at the red stone filled with trees as far as the eye can see.

"Do we walk to the other side and go down?"

"No, if we move south we can avoid traveling through the calm belt and drop right into the grand line." Shaking his head Gilgamesh looks south "Mary Geoise is in that direction."

As Enkidu looks south Gilgamesh turns west and frowns. "Something fast is coming, be ready to Elementaliz at a moments notice so you don't get hurt!"

"Ok!" Enkidu looks at Gilgamesh, waiting for something to happen.

Gripping his fist tightly electric sparks begin to drift along his body.

Suddenly from between the trees three large tigers the size of SUVs rush towards them at incredible speeds.

"10 Million Volt Barrage!" Thrusting out both fist two beams of lightning with fists at the end shoot towards the tigers.

The moment the two bolts of lightning left his fist, two of the tigers had already jumped to the side and the last one runs in the middle of the two strikes.

The lightning strikes two trees and blasts large holes through their trunks. "Dodging lightning, Observation Haki or battle instincts?" Frowning Gilgamesh moves to plan B.

Transforming his body into pure electricity Gilgamesh bursts into static before instantly appearing above the middle tiger with his right hand extended.

Sensing Gilgamesh above the tiger attempts to jump back while the two on the side pounce towards him with their claws spread wide.

"10 Million Volt Vari!" A Huge electrical discharge erupts from his body and envelops all three tigers in an electrical explosion.
