CHAPTER START---
"Well I think that's just about everything I wanted to know," Law says as their lunch comes to an end.
"Well this was certainly a pleasant meeting if that's the case," Koku -Trumpet-, says.
"Well I just have one more question, the most important of them all," Law says, causing all three men to look at each other somewhat nervously.
"And what might that be?" Slide N Go asks.
"Well, it can wait, but before that. Have you ever wondered what you should order to eat for a meeting like this?"
The men give each other strange looks, then Koku takes the lead, "what do you mean?"
Law looks at his phone, seeing a confirmation message, then leans back and begins explaining.
"Well, for a business meeting your order has a subconscious effect on the people at the table. Like myself and Slide N Go, we're big so steak makes sense, especially with muscles like that," he gestures to the Pro Hero.
"Then we've got your Sashimi Platter," Law nods toward Koku, "not bad but it could leave the wrong impression with ladies. And then we come to you," he shakes his head at Tomoyasu -Skeptic-.
"What's wrong with my order?" Skeptic gestures to the half-eaten bowl of Miso Soup.
"Well it's the number one thing you should never order from a restaurant," Law says. "There are mainly three reasons. The first, is that it's where the head chef will put all the ingredients that are about to go bad and aren't presentable anymore, especially if it's a fish soup of any kind."
"Ugh," Skeptic groans, looking at the bowl with distrust.
"The second, is that you don't want anything that can splash about or be loud for a business meeting like this. Plus, it's just not a good look."
"Uh...ok," they all give him weird looks before Skeptic asks, "and what's the third reason."
"Well, I'll explain after my next question, if it's needed."
"And what question might that be?" Trumpet asks.
BANG!
All three men have their faces splattered with bits of Slide N Go's brains as a bullet hollows out his skull from the back to the front.
Law doesn't react but both men jump back in their seats, almost falling over.
But the people at the table behind them immediately get up and keep them in their chairs.
As the dead Pro Hero slumps onto the table, they see the women on the table behind him all holding guns and looking at them.
"Take anything you want!" Trumpet says with his hands raised, just like Skeptic, expecting to be robbed.
But the woman only chuckles slightly, keeping her pistol aimed at them as one of her friends walks over to the dead Pro Hero, and gets his phone out of his pocket.
"You aren't being robbed, dumbass," Law says, pulling their attention over to him. To see him completely relaxed in his seat with blood on the side of his face. "These aren't customers, they're my friends."Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
They see everyone on the rooftop immediately take out their weapons or in some cases just turn to look at them, presumably having Quirks that make guns obsolete.
"Ahhh!" Both men cry out.
"Ready," The woman says. "I'll give them a shock if I sense any lies," she nods at Law.
"I'm so glad I hired all of you after that whole hostage nightmare, could have saved me a lot of trouble that night," Law says. "But anyway, Koku, my least favorite politician, why were you trying to break into my phone?"
"We didn't ARGH!" he screams as a small current flows through his body from the woman.
"Oh, you lied, that'll cost a finger..."
"What!?" Trumpet panics as a man from a nearby table get up and walk over, reaching for one of his hands being held to the table and grabbing his little finger. "Wait don't break it please?"
Hearing this Law chuckles, "break it, don't be ridiculous..."
"ARGRRGHHHHH!" Trumpet screams at the top of his lungs as the man rips off the finger completely, leaving it on the table. And a moment later he releases another scream as the man makes a small candle flame in his palm and burns the wound shut.
Three questions and three fingers later, each, neither man has spoken. So Law leans away, leaving the interrogation to his 'friends' while another man walks up beside him.
"Sir," the man says.
"What's wrong?"
"We questioned their driver, he didn't know anything but we dealt with him anyway, just in case."
Law looks over to the man, one of his Power Types, and sees both his sleeves bloodied, "right, good job..."
Turning back to his guests Law sees both men covered in sweat and slumped forward.
Only four fingers each and they were already beginning to pass out, he couldn't help but be disgusted by their weakness.
"Alright, this is getting tedious, will either of you ever tell me what I want?"
"Never!" Trumpet says.
"Never!" Skeptic says, but he immediately gets shocked, caught in a lie.
"Ohh, well that makes things easier," he then turns to Trumpet. "Well, you politicians never say anything useful either way, and you always lie to the public sooo...why don't you just stop talking all together, yeah?"
Trumpet and Skeptic look confused at that, then their expression turn to horror and panic as one of the nearby men grab a knife from Slide N Go's plate, and reaches into the politician's mouth for his tongue.
Skeptic is forced to watch his friend has his tongue cut out and the wound burnt shut, then he passes out on the table.
The man releases Skeptic's mouth, but the covert villain doesn't say anything.
He just laments the choices that lead to this, his fate for bringing him here. And his hate for the man sitting across from him just grew and grew.
"You're a monster!" Skeptic says, giving Law a hateful glare.
"Monster?" Law asks playfully. "The monsters are locked in Tartarus, but I'm infinitely worse...because I'm right here. And I really don't like that look you're giving me, with that left eye..."
"Wha---WAIT, PLEASE!" Skeptic screams as he feels a large hand covers the side of his face from behind him, and a finger digging into his eye socket.
"I promise I'll release what's left of you when I get what I want," Law says, words barely heard through Skeptic's screaming. "But let's see how many pieces I have to take until we get there..."
