    Summary

    The path towards the sun, towards freedom, is not an easy path. Ace, Sabo and Luffy, three brothers with dreams of seeking such freedom, know this better than anyone. Five years on, and it almost seems hopeless. But perhaps a few helping hands, and an old pirate's offer, can give them everything the world had tried so hard to take away.

    Or:

    How Ace, Sabo and Luffy were slaves once, and how a family of pirates help them break their chains.

    Summary

    Jean Bart could see why the young captain was beloved by his men. He’d been on the man’s ship for less than a day and already felt a sense of loyalty toward him—and not just out of gratitude for freeing him. Yes, he was more thankful than he could ever put into words to Trafalgar Law for severing his collar, but it was the kindness and humanity he and his men had shown him since then that truly touched Jean Bart. He was quite aware of how rare such traits were among pirates.

    Summary

    To help expand Joker's operation, King Donquixote Doflamingo arranges a marriage between his heir, Trafalgar Law, and the pirate prince of Goa, Monkey D. Luffy. Law knows the well-being of his loved ones depends on his ability to play his part, so he resigns himself to exchanging one gilded cage for another.

    Luffy, however, makes it hard when he's perfectly suited to getting under Law's skin, putting the engagement and Law's promise to protect his loved ones in danger.

    Written for the Summer of Lawlu, Week 3: Touch-starved, Drunken Confession, and "I didn't have anywhere else to go."
