So as you might have undestood, on last chapter, ZoSan happened. Also, Luffy adopted a cat which he called Meatloaf.
Good news: this chapter is going to be more LawLu, and a lot more focused on Law! I had too many informations so I just cut it and so the suggestion I had for Ace and Marco's apparition will certainly be for chapter 5!
I'm sorry it took me so long to write this chapter. But, honestly, I wrote like 15 lines in 2 months, and then wrote everything in two days. Inspiration really can be a bitch. (And I was a bit busy with uni and drawing fanarts hrm).
I thank Saluzozette for reading a bit after me and encouraging me, Miss-LittleGiant for Meatloaf's incredible name and PetiteNeko for a sentence I put in this chapter, and all of you for your wonderful comments, kudos and bookmarks! I also had great reviews on Tumblr, so thank you guys, very much. I'm actually surprised you like it so much...! Makes me really happy :D
Now, enjoy~
CHAPTER IV
"Luffy." – Zoro
"Your cat tried to eat my computer cable, again." – Zoro
"It's so big how can it even want to eat something more?!" – Zoro
"Do you even give food to it for it to behave like that?! Is it naturally big or?" – Zoro
"Oh God." – Zoro
"It tried to damage my stuff again that motherfucker" – Zoro
[…]
"Luffy." – Zoro
"It peed on my clothes, again." – Zoro
"This is the third time this week, and we're only tuesday, Luffy!" – Zoro
[…]
"LUFFY."
"IT PREVENTED ME FROM SLEEPING TWICE IN LESS THAN TEN MINUTES." – Zoro
"THAT'S IT." – Zoro
"I don't want it anymore in this flat." – Zoro
"If you don't give it away, I will." – Zoro
[…]
"WAIT NO! Don't throw him out! Zoro!" – Luffy
"Oh yeah? Why not?" – Zoro
"We already had the same story with the old dog, the rats and the parrot, we'll just repeat it again." – Zoro
"You actually liked them!" – Luffy
"Yeah, well they were still annoying. Bulky." – Zoro
"I don't believe you" – Luffy
"Thing is, I don't like this cat." – Zoro
"Meatloaf is perfectly fine, and you'll get used to each other. You don't throw people out because they annoy you! Just tell him not to do it again and he'll understand." – Luffy
"You realize it's not a person, right?" – Zoro
"I value Meatloaf as much as anybody else!" – Luffy
"Plus, it's not his fault if he started eating your stuff! He's hungry! You'd do the same if you were! And you sleep all the time, of course he'll wake you up at some point!" – Luffy
[...]
"Sanji agrees with me and said you were lazier than a cat." – Luffy
"Fuck the cook he doesn't know shit about that stuff." – Zoro
[...]
"Are you kidding me, this cat isn't well educated that's all. And there's no cat food anywhere? -And what about the pee?" – Zoro
"Where's the litter?" – Zoro
[…]
"I forgot." – Luffy
"..." – Zoro
"Okay." – Zoro
"I'm throwing it out." – Zoro
"DON'T!" – Luffy
"If you do I swear I will never talk to you ever again." – Luffy
"You're not even able to take care of it, Luffy!" – Zoro
"I will! Sanji says he's gonna help. He loves cats." – Luffy
"The ero-cook doesn't live with us! He's nothing to do with that!" – Zoro
"Give Meatloaf a month. You'll get to like him." – Luffy
"It's not only me. It hates me too." – Zoro
"Nonsense!" – Luffy
[…]
"But if nothing has changed, Meatloaf's out right?" – Zoro
"I have your word?" – Zoro
[…]
"Yes." – Luffy
"Deal." – Zoro
"But I'm calling it 'Nuisance' from now on." – Zoro
"You did it only to bother me, didn't you?" – Zoro
"Yes." – Sanji
"Bastard" – Zoro
"Screw you, curly brow." – Zoro
"Anytime you want, Moss-for-Brain." – Sanji
"Luffy?" – Usopp
"Yeah?" – Luffy
"I was wondering..." – Usopp
"About that Tra-guy you talked to me about and all" – Usopp
"What if he was some kind of a serial killer creep?" – Usopp
"A serial killer?" – Luffy
"Yeah! Look- how many times did it happen? The nurse was the killer, the detective was guilty of everything... Dexter, The Mentalist- aren't all those shows about it?" – Usopp
"You think Torao's a serial killer because he's a doctor?" – Luffy
"Basically, it could be a possibility, yes." – Usopp
"Okay I'm gonna ask him!" – Luffy
"What?! No don't ask you really think he's gonna be honest? AND what if it's true?! He might come for us to keep his secret! For himself! Himself- alone!" – Usopp
"But everything you said are suppositions right?" – Luffy
"Yeah?" – Usopp
"Let's just get a confirmation to it already then!" – Luffy
"Don't! Luffy! Really-!" – Usopp
"Luffy!" – Usopp
[...]
"You're really asking him aren't you?" – Usopp
"I should have known better" – Usopp
[...]
"Next boat to Antarctica doesn't look too expensive." – Usopp
"Have you ever killed someone before?" – Luffy
"No" – Torao
"Why not?" – Luffy
"My job is basically to save lives, Luffy-ya. Why the question?" – Torao
"Yeah but that could be your cover! The best murderers are acting from the inside, and no one ever suspects them!" – Luffy
"Stop watching TV" – Torao
"Or stop believing everything Usopp tells you" – Torao
"How did you know it was Usopp?" – Luffy
"Because of, hm, the fact that you're always telling me everything your life perhaps?" – Torao
"Shishishishishi I keep forgetting." – Luffy
[…]
"But tho, have you?" – Luffy
"What?" – Torao
"Killed someone" – Luffy
"For God's sake. No." – Torao
"Okay! :D" – Luffy
"And you believe me?" – Torao
"Of course, why?" – Luffy
"I could lie." – Torao
"Are you?" – Luffy
"Nope." – Torao
"Then why trying to confuse me and create problems when everything's ok? ٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)૭✧ " – Luffy
"You're really-" – Torao
"What?" – Luffy
"Nothing." – Torao
"[Picture MMS]" – Luffy
"See? Torao's a nice guy!" – Luffy
[…]
"I'm not convinced." – Usopp
"If you don't trust him, trust me! (^◡^)/" – Luffy
"If you say so..." – Usopp
"By the way, Chopper bought a new game and asked us to come over to help him figure out how it works :D" – Luffy
"I'M ON MY WAY!" – Usopp
"Haven't you noticed anything?" – Nami
"You must add more details to this question, if you want me to answer properly Nami-san" – Robin
"I meant, about Zoro and Sanji. Don't you think something changed, between them?" – Nami
"Indeed, I noticed that." – Robin
"You did?" – Nami
"Yes. They probably made out, but are too proud to tell us. So we'll just wait for them to tell us when they will feel ready." – Robin
"What?! You knew?" – Nami
"This is quite obvious." – Robin
"But Sanji didn't say anything when I asked him about that evening!" – Nami
"Try not to beat them up, it took them time." – Robin
"Exactly! And patience! And those bastards didn't even tell us!" – Nami
"You know how they are" – Robin
"I will make them regret this." – Nami
"May I ask why you are so invested in their relationship, Nami-san?" – Robin
"I made a bet with Usopp. He owes me." – Nami
"[Picture MMS]" – Nami
"I won the bet." – Nami
"A-Absolutely not! Those are just hypothesis!" – Usopp
"How dare you?" – Nami
"I won't believe it until they show or tell me themselves they are in a relationship." – Usopp
"You..." – Nami
"Alright. You will eventually understand I was right it, and pay me what you owe me!" – Nami
"We'll see about that!" – Usopp
"(≧∇≦)/" – Luffy
"(つ◉益◉)つ" – Luffy
"ᕦ⊙෴⊙ᕤ" – Luffy
"ᕙ(▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ) ᕗ" – Luffy
"..." – Torao
"You discovered how to create emoticons, didn't you" – Torao
"Yeah! ╰(✧∇✧╰) That's super fun!" – Luffy
"Am I... the victim on whom you decided to test them all?" – Torao
"Maybe ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)" – Luffy
"Please stop" – Torao
"Why, you don't like it? C'mon Torao! It's way too fun! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧" – Luffy
"I'd rather have your babbling about how bored you are than that." – Torao
"(ง ʘ ʖ ʘ)ง" – Luffy
"If you don't stop I will most definitely block you, Luffy-ya." – Torao
"You wouldn't!" – Luffy
"I'm very serious" – Torao
"Just because of smileys?!" – Luffy
"They are annoying." – Torao
"You're no fun." – Luffy
[…]
"You did say you liked better my messages when I'm bored though!" – Luffy
"I... did say that." – Torao
"What about you just send me one emoticon too and we're even? I'll stop harassing you with them. I promise." – Luffy
"An emoticon?" – Torao
"Yeah!" – Luffy
"Only one?" – Torao
"And you'll stop?" – Torao
"Yeah!" – Luffy
"But do not choose a common one!" – Luffy
"..." – Torao
"੧| ‾́ー ‾́ |੭" – Torao
"Shishishi you actually did it!" – Luffy
"Yeah" – Torao
"Shishishi~" – Luffy
"Boss." – Shachi
"Boss?" – Shachi
"Law?" – Bepo
"Yeah?" – Law
"Are you ready to go?" – Bepo
"Go?" – Law
"Next appointment..." – Bepo
"Right." – Law
"Why are you texting me? You're like, on the very next room." – Law
"You didn't answer when Penguin called you so we sent you texts, as you spent a lot of time on your phone lately" – Bepo
"What's so interesting with it by the way? A new technique you've found on the internet, or some surgery book online?" – Bepo
"Yeah, kinda." – Law
"Kinda?" – Bepo
"Don't worry about that. And I'm not deaf, next time just come in." – Law
"Come in? Well, Penguin did come in" – Bepo
"And?" – Law
"You didn't notice his presence." – Bepo
"He didn't say anything." – Law
"Usually, you do notice people." – Bepo
"I was concentrated." – Law
"On surgery?" – Bepo
"[Picture MMS]" – Bepo
"What's that supposed to mean?" – Law
"You were so focused you didn't notice him taking a picture of you, and I'm surprised to see such an expression on your face while working on surgery..." – Bepo
"Get to the point" – Law
"Penguin and Shachi told me you met someone online! Why didn't you say anything?!" – Bepo
"Why, is this important?" – Law
"It is! I barely see you taking interest in anyone, this is super-rare!" – Bepo
"Do we have to talk about it now? I believe we have an appointment in five minutes." – Law
"I'm coming." – Law
"Nice way of changing subject..." – Bepo
"Oh shit we're really late!" - Bepo
"[Picture MMS]" – Luffy
"Is that a cat?" – Torao
"Yeah, he's mine! His name is Meatloaf!" – Luffy
"Let me guess; you chose the name" – Torao
"Yeah! You know me so well Torao!" – Luffy
"How old is he? He looks bad" – Torao
"No idea, I found him on the street on my way home. He was dirty and hungry and he followed me so I just took him." – Luffy
[…]
"[Picture MMS]" – Luffy
"Is he... sitting on your roommate's face?" – Torao
"For some reason, he likes to do that. Maybe it's because of Zoro's hair colour? I have no idea why he acts like that but he likes Zoro's face." – Luffy
"... Is that a normal thing according to you?" – Torao
"I don't know? Everyone's different? Sanji took pictures last time. It was hilarious! This cat really is awesome!" – Luffy
"Though I named him Meatloaf, Zoro's calling him Nuisance..." – Luffy
"Sure, especially if the cat's trying to choke him during his sleep using his weight, wonder why." – Torao
"I'm pretty sure they'll eventually get along." – Luffy
"People say it's good to have hopes." – Torao
"But in spite of your unbreakable faith I am doubtful." – Torao
"You'll see I'm right!" – Luffy
[...]
"Shit" – Luffy
"He's meowing for food I forgot to buy him some" – Luffy
"What are cats allowed to eat?" – Luffy
[...]
"I'm a doctor, Luffy-ya, not a veterinarian." – Torao
"I'll just give him what I have." – Luffy
"[Picture MMS]" – Luffy
[…]
"You didn't actually give that to him, did you?" – Torao
"That's all I have!" – Luffy
"Luffy-ya, please don't feed Meatloaf the purple carrot" – Torao
"How on Earth do you manage to have vegetables with this colour?" – Torao
"I don't know" – Luffy
"I just don't really pay attention to them in the fridge so I guess I forget about them." – Luffy
"And since Zoro often goes out lately" – Luffy
[…]
"I think Meatloaf actually likes it." – Luffy
[…]
"I told you not to give it to him" – Torao
"I do what I want!" – Luffy
[…]
"You can be so childish sometimes" – Torao
"If you want to poison him that's the good way to go" – Torao
"He's fine!" – Luffy
"Of course he is" – Torao
"I'm off to sleep, good night!" – Luffy
"Try to sleep too!" – Luffy
[…]
"Good night" – Torao
"So, how's it going with your new friend?" – Bepo
"Still vexed I didn't tell you about it?" – Law
"And he's not my friend" – Law
"You told Shachi and Penguin!" – Bepo
"I didn't. They stole my phone." – Law
"I should have done that too..." – Bepo
"There's a password now." – Law
"And you don't trust us anymore! I'm hurt" – Bepo
"You just said you wished you'd stolen my phone" – Law
[…]
"Ok, but what are you talking about?" – Bepo
"Nothing." – Law
"Nothing? How can you exchange so much without saying nothing?" – Bepo
"We don't communicate that much." – Law
"Are you kidding me? Answering other people than your colleagues is a big deal for you." – Bepo
"If you say so" – Law
"Yeah!" – Bepo
[…]
"But really, what are you talking about? I'm curious now" – Bepo
[…]
"Law?" – Bepo
[…]
"He sends me emoticons, and talks about food." – Law
"Really? What kind of emoticons? Don't you hate those, tho?" – Bepo
"[Picture MMS]" – Law
"Omg this one (ง ʘ ʖ ʘ)ง looks just like you when you're about to start a surgery! Look, I can almost see the dark circles under its eyes." – Bepo
[…]
"I was kidding, Law!" – Bepo
"Are you really going to ignore me now?" – Bepo
[…]
"Are you sure that's one of your conversations though?" – Bepo
"I mean... 'I'd rather have your babbling about how bored you are than that.' that's not like you" – Bepo
"Is it?" – Bepo
"Damnit" – Bepo
[…]
"Don't tell me you don't at least appreciate him!" – Bepo
[…]
"You know you can't block me right? We need to contact each other anytime because of our job!" – Bepo
[…]
"I thought we were best friends..." – Bepo
"Or at least friends!" – Bepo
":'(" – Bepo
"If I reply you'll stop harassing me?" – Law
"Law! You're not mad at me?" – Bepo
"I'm not. But just stop talking about him" – Law
"Understood." – Bepo
[…]
"Still, you like him don't you?" – Bepo
"Bepo" – Law
"Yeah right sorry!" – Bepo
[Group conversation]:
"You were right, I can't believe it." – Bepo
"Told you so!" – Shachi
"Yeah" – Penguin
"I've never seen him like that!" – Bepo
"I can't believe it." – Bepo
"You already said that." – Penguin
"I can't believe it." – Bepo
"Again." – Penguin
"No but" – Bepo
"I think he can't believe it." – Shachi
"Oh my god you two" – Penguin
[...]
"What if he's been replaced by someone else, looking just like our boss?" – Bepo
"Would have noticed it, wouldn't we?" – Penguin
"Yeah I'm noticing it now!" – Bepo
[...]
"Do you think they met?" – Shachi
"..." – Penguin
"..." – Bepo
[…]
"We can't ask him can we" – Shachi
"Definitely not" – Bepo
"But we have his number" – Penguin
"We do?" – Bepo
"We do." – Shachi
