Great question 👀 I guess each option has very different implications, both very interesting though. I like the specific flavor of Law being the "outsider," perhaps regarded as less than human or even as a monster by most people. And then there's regular human Luffy who shows him kindness, treats him as an equal and appreciates every part of him (oops it sounds like I'm rewriting my fae!Law AU all over again dfgkjsg 😂)

I guess I have a soft spot for the idea of Luffy being just... some guy. He doesn't have anything special going on, but he's special because he's Luffy, if that makes sense. The most seemingly ordinary person ends up being the one to make a difference.

But I also really like the concept of merman Luffy filling Law's dull world with wonder and whimsy. And Law, curious by nature, is intrigued by this creature and his culture, and quickly becomes enamored with Luffy and everything that surrounds him (aaand now I'm rewriting my vampire!Luffy AU. Guess I'm predictable 😅).

I don't know, both options sound delicious to me 🌸 Thanks for the cute question, Aster!!
