He's sleeping with his hat resting over his eyes.

There's no hiding the sparkle in his eyes as he took ahold of the tossed meat while starting at the redf of the meat. "Ohh! Woooowww! That looks amazing."
“You’re welcome!” He lifted it and tossed it over to Luffy before lifting up a hefty box. “I got a few more too. Found a stand sellin’ ‘em.”
"Whaaaatttt? We are though! I saved him from Alvida when he was still just a scrawny little crybaby!" Luffy huffs softly, arms crossing over his chest. "Huh?? What are you talking about, Traffy? Am I missing something?" He asks, leaning closer with a curious look on his face.
Law snorts. "The marine hero? You're nuts. If you feel he's your friend, then what we have must be more like--" Wait. He sighs and buries his face in his hands, hunched over. He doesn't want his face to get warmer! Stop!
All luffy can do is stare quietly at Law while listening to him speak. It was true that he had helped Law and easily repaid his debt but he didn't see it like that. "What do you mean you don't see why I want you around? Are you dense or somethin?" His arms were crossed now and he was just ++
"...Anyway, you've paid me back ten fold. I don't see why... you want me around." He shrugs. "My 'grandfather' always told me that life is about give and take. You've taken and you have given. Our alliance should be over."
Rai I will try to reply here tomorrow. My brain just can't right now
"That guy deserved that punch." Luffy huffs softly as he crosses his arms over his chest. "As for Ace-" He sighs softly, thinking back on some memories. "He used to always have to come save me when we were little. Actually he hated me when we first met." Both him and Sabo- "Maybe I can ++
Law turns his head toward him again. He smiles softly. "From punching a celestial dragon to the scramble to save your brother... Now can you see why I might respect you enough to save you?"
Right- he didn't know Law's story. He hadn't even asked. He just helped take on Doflamingo without hesitation. Now that he knew that little bit of Law's story though- it was terrible and to know it had been the Navy's doing too- "Traffy. . ." He shakes his head slightly, eyeing the surgeon ++
"Oh," Law glances his way. "Right... you faught Doffy without a single question as to what he'd done to me, nor do you know my history... hm." "My sister died in a fire when I was ten years old. So did my parents- in the same fire. So did... my entire hometown. Flevance was destroyed by the navy."+
"Yeah but you still came all the way to a freaking war just for that. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful. . .especially after I- failed. . ." Thinking back about Ace he closes his eyes a bit, only to look at Law with surprise. "Your. . .sister-?"
"I told you," Law frowns. "I'm a doctor and it is what I do... but, I also thought You dying would be a shame. After all, you just wanted to save your brother..." He pauses, pensive. "...I, too, couldn't save my sister."
Shaking his head slightly Luffy just smiles toward Law. "Loyalty may be important but it also means going out of your way to help someone. Which is what you did." He's staring toward Law now before gesturing to the scar on his chest. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have survived this ++
Law chuckles. "Friendship to me means loyalty... You are another a captain, so you can't be loyal to me in that way..." In his childhood all potential friends of his had died in Flevance. On Swallow island Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi became his loyal followers... Like brothers to him. +
There's no stopping a small pout that forms on Luffy’s face. "How many times have I saved your butt? And you're still gonna lay there and say we aren't friends?" "You're so mean Traffy. And you were the one who asked me to work with you first."
"Guh! We *Were* allies...!" God damn it, how is he so perceptive. "...Well since I'm talking to you right now I suppose we are - in general - allies..." He smirks at him. "Heh, not friends though, no."
"Eh- I just snagged some snacks from the kitchen and now I'm trying to hide before Sanji finds me." He laughed a bit more, not noticing he still had some crumbs on his face.
“Was about t’clean my blades.” Looking over to Luffy, soft smile growing on his face, almost hating to ask. “What r’you doin’?”
The gigging continued as Luffy plopped his head down on Zoro’s shoulder, giving him a light squeeze. "Hey Zoro, whatcha doin?"
For a moment he wasn’t sure if he was gonna be whisked off somewhere by those rubber arms, taking in a breath to prepare himself. Thankful once the giggles started, he jerked forward to pull Luffy against him. “Evenin’, Captain.”
"Hm?" Luffy pushes himself up on his elbows, eyeing Law curiously as his spoke. "You know. . ." There's a pause as he grins very slightly. "You also say we aren't allies, yet you just considered me one." "And what do you mean we aren't friends!? Of course we are!"
Law looks up at the sky for a moment. "Um... Well, everyone was worried about you. And everyone was equally worried the battle was lost... along with our lives." He looks back at Luffy. "Tsk... I said plenty of times we aren't friends. But, an ally almost died... I was a bit worried."
"Well you're givin' the vibe like you were all worried about me or somethin'. " Luffy replies, giving a slight shrug. "Or maybe you were worried about somethin' else. Like the possibility of losing the battle."
"Did you stress me out?" Law repeats, almost feeling as though Luffy asked the same thing twice. "...What do you mean?"
Glancing toward Law, Luffy snickers softly. That facial expression was priceless. "Hey almost dying wasn't my fault! My fight got interrupted!" "What's wrong? Did I stress you out or somethin'?"
His props himself up on his elbow, his jaw dropped. "What?! Not worried! You're insane. All the stunts you pulling in Wano...!" "And you almost died to unlock that crazy form lf yours. You're kidding, right?"
Unable to contain his laughter, Luffy throws his head back and clicks his feet a bit. "Yes you did! You know you had fun!" "Did I really give you a heart attack?? Surely you weren't worried!"
He closes his eyes and shakes his head, smile not fading. "I absolutely did Not have fun, you little shit." "I should be dead with One heart attack, not the 20 you gave me."
A pair of stretchy arms are wrapping around @ofdemonicswords.bsky.social and suddenly there's a giggling captain attached to Zoro.
"Even you worked together with me more than once! So I can't be that bad." He can't help but bring that up, laughing loudly. His gaze then turns toward Law and he's smiling even wider. "You know you had fun with us."
His features soften once again, smirking, eyes displaying warmth while he gazes at him. "Ugh... And somehow you still have this power to just reel everyone in..."
"It was no secret that I was a loose canon! I'm just havin' some fun." He snickers softly, bringing an arm over to nudge Law's shoulder. "It is a big deal! You rarely smile and now you're back to that grumpy face!" Law was always so amusing in his opinion. Such an interesting guy.
"It's... interesting to know you're that self aware." Law raises an eyebrow at him. Dammit that big wide grin is making his face warm up again!! "Who cares if I grin! It's no big deal," he furrows his brows more than they always were, grimacing spitefully.
"Pretty good! I got no complaints!" He laughs softly, giving a slight head nod. "How are you?"
*He seem smile and approach Luffy* "How's the life goes buddy?"
"Look who's grumpy face finally cracked a grin." Luffy comments, his own grin growing wider. "It's good to have a loyal crew- I think I give mine a heart attack sometimes but they knew what they were gettin' into when they joined!" He knew his whole crew was a lot to handle, but he was the worst.
Finally, he's smiling. He snorts in amusement at Luffy's remarks. "Yeah, well, they're extremely loyal-- my crew is. They won't talk even if it means their lives... They won't jump into rediculous situations, either." ... No one can make Law admit he dislikes being alone and likes affection ...
"Your style doesn't even match your crew. They're all loud and silly and you're- well grumpy." Another light laugh as he thought of the few times he had met Law's crew. "Ah! Don't worry about that. One way or another we always manage to find him! He won't stay gone forever."
Looking Luffy in the eyes he sighs, then pouts. "You're a damn mess. Hell, I know you can handle it, but it would never be My style..." "One of these days you're going to lose that swordsman of yours," he chuckles softly.
"Yeah it really is!" Turning his gaze toward Law, Luffy grins widely. "You know! The same stuff we always do! We accidentally ran into the Marines again so that was a whole thing. Zoro got lost a couple times too. Had to go find him, or at least Sanji and Chopper did."
Law decides to lie in the grass with him, also stretching his arms above his head. "Mmm. Same... The weather on this island is so refreshing..." "Wait, causing trouble? What the hell did you do this time?"
Maybe he did know Law a little better than he let on but he was good at acting like he didn't. "Ah you know. Same old stuff. Causing trouble and still on my way to my dream." A light laugh escaped from him as he stretched his arms over his head. "We just stopped here for some stuff really."
"...Sure. What about you? What have you been up to?" He scratches the back of his neck. Luffy being aware of him being "off"? Does he really know him That well...? Ugh, he needs Luffy to remain completely unaware of those... feelings he gets around him sometimes.
Seeing that familar scowl, Luffy laughs softly. Yep. Same old Traffy. "You just seemed a bit off is all." He replies while giving a little tilt of his head. "Training sounds fun. But studying doesn't. Sounds like you've been working your butt off though."
"Huh? I'm fine! What are you talking about?" He scowls. See? Completely normal Law face. "I've been alright. I've been training more often and engrossing myself in studies again."
After a moment Luffy sits himself up, hand on his hat to keep it from falling off. "Yeah it has been a while! How ya been lately?" He asks, turning his full attention to Law now, only to tilt his head a bit. "You okay there?"
Law averts his eyes to the beach sand leading to the ocean not far from the grassy parts of this particular island. Law doesn't... want Luffy to see the light blush on his cheeks. That stupid, sunny smile of his... "Good. I'm glad we're here at the same time. It's been a minute."
Hearing a familar voice, Luffy lifts his hat a bit and smiles widely at Law. "Hey Traffy! Yeah I am. The weather is really nice today!"
Law walks over and sits beside him. "Hm... Seems you're enjoying yourself, huh, Mugiwara-ya?"
