"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."

"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-?"

Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ@deathsleopard.bsky.social · last yr.

"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."

Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ@deathsleopard.bsky.social · last yr.

"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."

"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."

Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ@deathsleopard.bsky.social · last yr.

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.

Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ@deathsleopard.bsky.social · last yr.

"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.

"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.

Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ@deathsleopard.bsky.social · last yr.

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."

Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ@deathsleopard.bsky.social · last yr.

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."

Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ@deathsleopard.bsky.social · last yr.

"...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."

Sᵾɍǥɇৎ୭n øf ĐɇȺŧħ@deathsleopard.bsky.social · last yr.

"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."
