104. Bones
Law was startled when he saw Kimimaro sat on the opposite side, then he return his attention back to the papers.
"What're you doing Law?" Asked Kimimaro as he looked at the papers.
"I'm doing homework uncle, huh? did you take a bath?" Law squinted his eyes as he tried to smell something on Kimimaro, smelling nothing. He relaxed.
"I am, do i still smell?" Kimimaro sniffing around his body.
Law shook his head as he reasured the Marine, "No, you smell like soap."
"Is that so?" Kimimaro smiled.
His attention was fully on the seemingly harmless boy in front of him. he had scraggly black hair, shadows under his eyes. Kimimaro had a brief flash on his eyes, no one knew his thought when he observed the boy.
Then he turned his attention toward Lami, the baby girl was seen having fun playing with her toys, occasionally giggling and mumble something unrecognizable. She has newly grew brown hair inherited from her mother and cute beady eyes.
"Bone?" Asked Kimimaro as he looked at Law's work.
He saw the paper showing anatomy pictures of human bones with blank boxes for the student to put their answers.
"Homework, i wait for dad to come home. But he was drunk!" Law scowled clearly dissatisfied.
"Hahaha, is there any question you want to ask?"
Law promptly pointed at the human wrist anatomy, then he said in resignation,
"This one, i never see what the real wrist bones looks like, i can't answer this...."
"Hahahhaa...." Kimimaro laughed under Law confused look.
Soon, much to Law shock, Kimimaro spread his palm upwards, from it, there was a hand bone complete from the fingers until its wrist squeezed out by his ability.
Law was medical student even though he was still young, showing his remarkable intelectual quality. If other kid saw on what Kimimaro just did, they would undoubtedly scream in horror.
"Awesome!!!" Law jumping in jubilation as he took Kimimaro's freshly squeezed bone.
"Awaaaash....." Lami who at some point crawling closer raised her little hands, trying to copy Law.
"Uncle! How can you do that?! that was so cool!" Law Squealed happily as his bright eyes look towards Kimimaro.
"Just a little trick, And could you please stop calling me uncle? I'm still 17!" Seems like Kimimaro still didn't forget that Law always call him an uncle.
Law regained his composure, then he asked Kimimaro, "Uhm, well, its not impossible, anyway can you show me feet bones?"
Kimimaro doesn't think too much, he complied to continue to help Law on his homework.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom,
"So, you're saying that you stepped on him to get out the ditch and feeling guilty you agreed to his invitation for drink?" Anna asked with disbelief.
In front of her, Smith was currently sitting with his knee on the floor wearing only his underwear like some sort of criminal.
His face was colorful with some bruises and claw mark as well as his head which had several bumps on it.
like guilty man in front of death row, Smith sniffed and nodded weakly.
Anna sighed and soon covered her husband with towel, much to Smith relief.
However,
"This is the last time! You hear me?!" Anna put her fist in front of poor Smith threatening him.
Smith nodded like a chicken, then he smiled widely and put on his clothes under Anna scrutiny.
Soon, the couple went out the bathroom, just as they wanted to check on their children and Kimimaro, they were immediately stunned, color drained from their faces as they saw messy living room with human bones strewn arround!
Law was writting something vigorously on his paper while Kimimaro holding onto rib cage and giving the boy some explanation regarding the parts.
As for Lami? She was playing with human skull like a ball and laughed like some sort of little devil on the living room carpet.
"LAW! LAMI!" Anna didn't think too much, she immediately took Lami into embrace and look towards Law and Kimimaro with questioning glare.
"Mom!" Law was surprised while Kimimaro chuckled slightly.
"Anyone can explain what happened here?" Asked Anna sternly.
When Kimimaro about to explain, Smith steps in while he took a femoral bone from the floor, then he exclaimed in amazement,
"What great replica, Where did you get this? Look! It also has sponge inside, and marrow!"
Kimimaro had sectional cuts on the bones, it could give Law more insight on what was inside the solid structure.
"Mom! Dad! Don't worry, uncle euh, i mean big brother Kimimaro helped me with those bones, please don't blame him..." Law steps forward as he tried to reassure his parents.
Simultaneously the couple gaze were locked into Kimimaro, the latter cleared his throat as he demonstrate how he could get those bones.
"You eat Devil Fruit?" Asked Smith when he saw Kimimaro pulled his bones out from his hand without pain.
There was no other explanation on Kimimaro's ability other than he was a Devil Fruit user.
"I am, i'm sorry doctor and ma'am. I mean no harm."
"No no, i was just suprised." Smith smiled as he began to join the study.
Listening and seeing Kimimaro, Anna sighed in relief. Then he turned towards Lami on her hands, the baby seems struggling to get out as she tried to take the skull back.
"Anyway! I want this room to be clean before we have dinner!" Said Anna as she put Lami down much to the latter pleasant squeal.
"Okay mom!" Answered Law and soon he was back to studying the bone.
"Got it." Smith said in nonchalant tone which get unpleasant glare from his wife.
"Awaaaash Om...." Lami
Kimimaro nodded in assurance.
