5 5 A face that will urge men violence

Near the hills in the edge of the port of Spider Miles. An abandoned three storey building will be seen.

It has burn marks and holes in every side of it, the windows are destroyed and covered with wooden planks, and the door itself in front of the building is made of scrap metals and woody, that seems to be built there in a quick manner.

Outside the building, four people will be seen standing in front of the scrap door. A man, and three children.

The man is extremely tall and has a little hunch on his back. He has a striped red and orange rectangular streaks that run down from his forehead, through his eyes, and straight to his chin.

"Stay back!" He said to the three children besides him. Then he raised his right leg in front of him, and immediately kicked the door.

*Baammm!*

With a loud sound like a thunder in a storm, the door has been shut open, and also been destroyed in several pieces and sent through flying in the air.

"Wow! That's cool Diamante. You're really strong Dasuyan!" A large kid with a ball shaped body praises the man who's named Diamante.

"You flatter me, Buffalo. . . Truth is I'm not, the door is just weak that's why it happened."

"No, no! He's right Diamante, you're really strong." A cute girl wearing a maid outfit also said her remark.

"Guys stop it, stop treating me as if I'm that great."

""But you're really are Great!"" The two kids said at the same time.

"Stop it. I'm really not--"

""Alright then, you aren't--""

"Well, if you two really insist, then who I am to argue. Yeah, I'm cool and strong" Diamante finally accepted the flattery, when the two are already taking their remarks back.

'Weirdo!' Thought of the short quiet kid besides Diamante, who's wearing a unique fur hat and has a dark look on his face, while looking at Diamante with eyes full of disdain.

On the other hand, inside the building. Lawliet is stunned in his place, seeing this group of people outside the building.

'Diamante, Buffalo, Baby 5, Law. What the Fuck is this group of people doing outside my house?! Did they know who I really am?' Sweats began to accumulate in his back, but he kept his face remain stoic, well he at least tried since you will see the sides of his eyes are twitching a bit.

'What should I do? How should I escape?' He immediately thought, as he already concluded on his self that these people's are here because they know who he is.

Call him paranoid and cowardly, but at least his chance of surviving with this cowardly mindset is high.

Window. nahh! to cliche.

Door. Idiot how can you pass through them

Then his eyes wander around and pass through Baby 5 and suddenly stop on its track.

He looked at Baby 5 again.

'Was that just an imagination.' He thought as he saw, someone familiar overlayed on Baby 5 when he looked around before.

'Well, Baby 5 is cute by the way, I have an urge to hug her, She's really cute. How old is she by this time? Is she 8? or 10?--- Ay, Shit! I got distracted again!" He cursed on his mind, and then he looked around again.

But as he started to look around, Diamante entered his barren house.

With a height of 15 feet or more, Diamante duck inside the building because of he's unusual height that surpasses the ceiling. He can hardly move, and he's movements are slow because of how tall he is, he needs to carefully track his footsteps, to avoid breaking something.

Inside the house, there's only a few things that can be seen. A bed where Lawliet is sitting, a table with a sack of stuff above it, and a working table a few meters away from the side of the bed.

'At least it's clean.' Diamante thought seeing how empty the place is. But besides how empty this place is, there's one more thing that managed to grab Diamante's attention.

Besides the working table, near the bed where Lawliet sits wandering his eyes around, a long rifle like firearm is leaning in the wall. It actually not that kind of eye catching, Diamante even thought of ignoring it, but what caught his attention is it have two barrels.

'What kind of firearm is this?' Diamante thought looking at it curiously. Although he's not a marksman, he at least for beginners have a few knowledge about firearms, but this, this is the first time he saw this thing.

'Looks like the Young Lord is right. This kid is interesting.' He thought, turning his head towards Lawliet.

'He have a fine body proportions, looks like he is training himself.' He thought quite proud of their soon to become crew. But then he saw Lawliet's face, and it's distinct features when Lawliet looks at him curiously.

Masculine jawline, sharp looks, nice haircut, and a distinct beauty mark under his left eye.

'I still need to test him if he's strong at least.' He thought, with a tickmark on his forehead balling up he's fist.

The truth, he's quite insulted inside him when Lawliet looks at him very appealing. And a sudden urge of violence towards Lawliet's face, suddenly struck him.

Call it a unique charm of Lawliet. If Luffy has a charm to befriend almost anything, Lawliet has the charm to aggro anyone who has a little confidence or doubt on their appearance.

It just means that Diamante had no or less confidence in his appearance.

Lawliet who's looking at him with cautiousness saw how Diamante balled up his fist.

*Gulp!*

'Shit! I have no way out of this am I?' Lawliet thought, as he saw no other way to escape here, beside crippling these people and immediately escaping out of this island.

'How should I fight him?' He thought, but then Diamante suddenly launched a kick to his face, which he quickly evaded, as he ducked on his place, foreseeing it a few seconds before it been launch to him.

After that, Lawliet instinctively launch a floor sweep targeting the one leg Diamante use to support his body. But it's useless, as Diamante sees through it, and immediately jumps a few steps back completely evading it.

'He have a talent!' Diamante thought, shocked by Lawliet's show of skills in fighting. But he's face remains flat as he showed no emotions.

"Wha-- Why did you do that Dasuyan?" Asks Buffalo shocked.

"We're here to---" Buffalo didn't finish what he was saying, when Law covered his mouth with his hand.

"Shut your mouth, and buy yourself an Ice cream." Law then turned his head and looked at Baby 5 who's watching Diamante and Lawliet quietly.

"Baby 5, lend me some cash."

"Eh?! O-okay!" Baby 5 immediately agreed happily, as she took some cash out of her pocket.

'Oh my gosh he needs me!' She thought squirming on her place like a worm showered with salt.

'This guy, he's strong.' Law thought looking at Lawliet intently, while handing the cash given to him by Baby 5, to Buffalo.

Although he's vengeful and he wants to destroy as many things in this world as much as possible, he still somehow adores strength and power among this terrible ideal that he wants.

He is weak and fragile in the past. And it made him, him being unable to do anything to save and help those people who were special to him.

His mother, father, his sister, the kids at the orphanage and the nun who kept on believing to the Government.

Maybe somehow he can save them, when he has strength like these people standing before him.

Alas. Reality is a painful truth. Even if he have the strength of the Strongest Man right now, saving them is already late

All he can do now, is destroyed this fucked up World as much as he can, to at least ease the souls of the people on his hometown, who's been abandoned by the world when they really need it.

On the other side. Lawliet is been looking at the commotion of the kids outside.

'What is Buffalo trying to say? I heard he is about to say something, and it seems important?' He thought.

Diamante, on the other side, notices that Lawliet is distracted by the kids.

"You don't need to mind them, they are just playing." He said, then he vanished at his place and suddenly appeared in front of Lawliet, with his legs already curled, ready to launch a kick.

Lawliet is surprised at his sudden show of speed. It should be noted that Diamante is at a disadvantage here, because of how cramped this place is to a tall person like him.

After that, Diamante launched a kick, which Lawliet failed to block, causing him to fly in a few steps in the side near his working table.

Still standing, Lawliet readied himself for the next attack. He raises his two hands in front of his face, and made a stance that you will commonly see in street fights.

Diamante again vanished on his place, and appeared in front of Lawliet, launching a right straight to his face.

But now ready, Lawliet deflected it using his left hand and threw a jar full of black sand on Diamante's face using his right.

Lawliet manages to get that jar from his working table earlier, when he's been kicked near it.

It contains black powder which is commonly used in guns and cannons.

*Cough!*

*Cough!*

"What is this? *Sniff* *Sniff* Gun powder?" Diamante asks sniffing the compound on his hand, which he used to block the incoming jar to his face.

But then this time, Lawliet takes the initiative, and launches a straight to Diamante's face.

'Idiot!' Diamante thought, and immediately caught Lawliet's hand.

"You know, even if I'm not looking that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention." He said, looking at Lawliet with proudful look.

"Is that so?" Is what Lawliet replied, before some electric like sounds caught Diamante's attention.

*Crickle!*

*Crickle!*

*Crickle!*

Diamante slowly looked at Lawliet's hand, and his eyes widened as he saw a pipe like thing in Lawliet's hand generating electricity now and then.

"Boom!" Lawliet mimicked the sound of explosion. He turned the thing towards Diamante's hand and struck it towards it.

*Boom!*
