"Ok. Times up. Thank you all for coming here today. Please don't forget about the graduation for your puppies. It is just a simple collection of certificates where food and drinks will be served, including treats for the puppies." Kalifa informs.

"Feel free to stay behind if you have any questions. However, I will consider that to be sexual harassment. You may leave now."

As the class starts making their way out she quietly asks Cavendish and Kid to stay behind and to wait in the hallway so she can call them in one at a time. Kid is first and carries in a reluctant Law.

"Uh, so what is this about?" Kid asks as he shuts the door behind him.

"Unfortunately I cannot pass Law this time around either."

"I expected that. I'll pay you now then for the next term of your classes."

"That is not necessary. The class that I teach is for puppies only. There are other obedience classes taught here for older dogs. I think it would be in yours and Law's best interest if you try one of them instead."

"Are you sure we can't stay on with you?"

"I'm afraid not. I've done all I can for you and Law."

Kid sighs and looks down at the puppy in his arms.

"Okay. Thanks for your help."

Kalifa hands over some leaflets and information about the other obedience classes as well as contact numbers.

"Feel free to still come to the certificate presentation with Law anyway to see everyone again if you like."

"I will. Thank you Kalifa."

Kid leaves and soon after, Cavendish takes his place.

"Let me guess. My Farul has been your best student and you want to offer us an additional reward and separate ceremony dedicated only to me~? And Farul of course."

"No."

"Eh?! Why not? You know my puppy is the best~."

Kalifa rolls her eyes.

"This isn't to do with Farul. I wanted to talk to about Bartolomeo."

"Oh. What about him?"

"I think the both of you would benefit from another course which is being taught here," she explains as she hands over a few leaflets to Cavendish.

He quickly glances over the information that has been given to him.

"Do you really think this will work?"

"That course is a recent addition to the centre and is run by Lucci, the specialist I advised you to see."

"Yeah I tried to make an appointment but apparently, he's booked up for at least two months."

"He told me he's been trying to fit you in somewhere so maybe joining this course as well will help until he can."

"I'll give it a try then."

"Good. I've already put you down on the list as the courses he teaches usually run out of spots quickly. You have already got a place so no need to worry about getting in. Just turn up on the start date with Bartolomeo and go from there."

"Ok. Thank you Kalifa. Come on Farul, let's go."

Cavendish carries his puppy in his arms as he leaves. Hopefully this course that Kalifa has recommended will help him deal with Bartolomeo.

One Week Later:

"You look so smart Sanji~," Nami coos as she finishes putting on the small graduation hat for puppies' on the Labrador's head.

"It's almost your turn, and then it's Zoro's."

Looking behind her she sighs as Zoro still refuses to wear the hat that Luffy is still trying to get on him.

"Just leave it. He won't wear it."

Luffy pouts and gives up as Nami watches Vivi walk Kohza over to the table ahead of them.

At the table is Kalifa with the certificates for completing the obedience classes and treats for the puppies as well as the owners.

Even though he has no idea what is happening, Kohza is excited as he is led across to Kalifa who hands over the certificate which has been rolled up and tied with a red ribbon. Kohza gently takes the certificate into his mouth and looks up at Vivi as she is handed a gift bag filled with treats for them both. She smiles and laughs when she sees how happy her puppy is and walks away from the table after thanking Kalifa, then takes the certificate from Kohza before he starts trying to chew on it.

Next up is Sanji.

With Kalifa now in view, Sanji dashes for her, dragging poor Nami behind him, and wags his tail happily as he looks up at Kalifa with adoration in eyes.

Sanji gently takes the certificate into his mouth when it is handed to him and Nami smiles as she is given her gift bag.

"You should be very proud of Sanji. He's an exceptionally obedient puppy. Keep it up with the training and he'll grow up to be well behaved dog."

"I will."

"That goes for Zoro too. I'm glad he listens to you more now."

"I am too. Though he will still misbehave when he gets the chance. Thank you very much Kalifa."

Nami starts walking away from the table and gets pulled over to Vivi by Sanji, not that she minds. She then picks him up and takes the certificate out of his mouth while he closes his eyes in bliss as Vivi pets him.

"Well done Sanji~. Good boy~."

They watch as Luffy takes Zoro over to Kalifa. Luffy has decided to wear the graduation cap instead of Zoro as the pup still refuses to wear it, not even for a second. Kalifa hands over the certificate and as soon as it is in his mouth Zoro starts chewing on it instantly. Luffy simply laughs as he takes it from Zoro so he doesn't ruin the certificate and accepts the gift bag from Kalifa with a big grin. He then heads over to the others enthusiastically.

"Did you see that~? Zoro tried to eat it~ Shishishishi~."

"He better not have ripped it or anything," Nami frowns.

They watch the rest of the class receive their certificates and gift bags then happily chat to their new friends while the puppies play and run around together. Nami is glad that she got Zoro and Sanji into the obedience classes because they have made new friends and the puppies have become more obedient to them both. Zoro and Sanji may still not always listen when they are fighting with each other but Nami is certain that she can soon sort that out too. Hopefully.
