Author’s note: this is my second attempt at writing a fan-fiction and it’s a “soulmate” styled AU. All thanks goes to my big sister Beware_The_Tristero for giving me the courage to write this story. (Aww – you’re so sweet : 3 )

Law’s Perspective: Chapter 1
When each and every human is born, they are born with the name of their soulmate on some part of their body(for me it was painted over my heart; an indicator of what I’d grow up to be interested in, no doubt).
K
Over time, different cultures and Kingdom’s came to realise that the soulmate name is cast in their favourite colour and the name, itself, bordered by whatever their heart’s ambition truly is; the last part that makes up the border is what they desire to beat. (The one on top, the one on the left and the right is what they like, and the last one in the bottom is what they want to beat) this is usually coupled with an image which gives away their biggest weakness...
However, as I’m a person prone to breaking rules and defying expectations, I proved myself to be intrinsically linked to the man I’d grow up to be with. Yes, everyone in my family (and their friends) were very surprised that my first words were the name of my soul mate since, at the time, they’d never spoken the name in front of me and I had yet to learn the alphabet, let alone read.
On that date, I would never forget the feeling of a slight burn near my heart where Zoro-ya’s name was; as I looked down at my natural tanned skin I saw a border be formed with swords. Only, there were four different types of swords (which made up the border); for some reason I was drawn to the sword with the white hilt. It was simply beautiful and, for some reason, I just knew that that was the sword he would cherish the most. The second one to the left, screamed powerful, and the one on the right screamed for blood. And the last one it seemed to be bored.
Then, upon that revelation, the slight burn doubled and built into a sweltering, painful heat...
Not knowing what was happening, I ran to my parents (thanking my lucky stars that they were doctors) and tried to hold back the tears but the pain started to get worse and worse.
As I cried my little, five year old eyes out, I showed them the spot and expected to see flames dancing cross my flesh.
However, instead of sadness and concern, my parents just started to laugh.
“Law, nothing is wrong with your soulmate... it’s uncomfortable for you because today, November eleventh, is their birthday... he’s being born” my mother soothed whilst hugging me and wiping the tears from my eyes.
My dad knelt down and looked me in the eye.
“Law, if your soul mate is younger then you then, when they are born, the name you have on your body changes... You see, instead of just their name in black ink, their name turns to what will be their favourite colour, and the border is made up of what their dreams and ambition are made of, except the one on the bottom that is there dream... Hmm, so from looking at your border, it means he will be a swordsman. Oh my, he has death circling the letters O's and A's.. My, my, you’ll have to be an even better doctor your going to have to be the type of doctor who looks death in the face and tell him not this soul isn't going anywhere this time, and make sure you keep a strong hold of him when you meet him, my boy!”
My mother let go of me and smiled: “you know, if he is going to be a swordsman, then he is going to need a grand doctor to look after him... Given the sword on the bottom of your border he wants to be 'The Greatest Swordsman in the World’, you’re going to have to keep learning, my little doctor.”
And it was at that moment I know what my dream was, not to be Pirate King, but to be the greatest doctor that this world has ever seen, to be able to stop any and every sickness out there, and most of all to make sure my soul mate is in perfect health. When he is ready to complete his dream!
I pulled away from my parents and turned around with such a smile on my face; I couldn’t help but feel happy that there was someone out there just for me and would need my skills as a doctor.
I blushed and made myself and Zoro a promise that I would be the greatest doctor in the world so that I could heal and cure any wound, disease or illness, especially the ones I could imagine Zoro-ya getting.
With a firm nod, I left my parents and hurried to my office, but, before I could make it there, my little sister popped up and asked me if I was ready for the carnival. I tried to get out of it, but sadly, I couldn’t.
At the time, I persuaded myself to think that maybe, just maybe one day of goofing off wouldn’t hurt me.
I was wrong...
Sadly, on November eleventh, the day of my soul mates birth, would be the day my life, as I’d known it, would end.
First, my sister dropped to the ground with these white patches on her arm; as my friends and I rushed her from the now chaos-ridden carnival, more and more people were coming in, their bodies awash with unnatural, white blotches.
Now this phenomenon is known as ‘Amber Lead Diease’; I watched as the World Government did nothing, day after day, until finally I was the last one alive.
But I had to keep going...
Not for myself, but for Zoro-ya...
I had to keep pushing on and find a cure for myself. But I couldn’t stop the crying not only for the lost of my town, my family and friends, but most of all because now, thanks to this ailment, my chances of getting to meet Zoro-ya were so much slimmer...
My other half...
My one true love...
My soul mate...
