Epilogue
Twenty-six years old and a successful surgeon, Trafalgar Law is drinking his hot black coffee while looking outside his office window that raining afternoon. He didn't expect that it will rain today but he thought that the rain will stop eventually.
As he is about to finish his coffee, his alarm rings and he knows what it means. He's needed at the Emergency Room. Law puts down the unfinished coffee in his mug on his desk and leave his office room. Law's medical assistant, Bepo immediately come to him, to tell him about the patient assigned to them inside the Emergency Room.
"Patient 324, we just need to patch him up because of the degree burns on several parts of his body." Bepo told Law as they walk their way to the Emergency Room.
"I thought that Doctor Chopper-ya's medical team was assigned to the Patients 320 up to 330?" Law raised his eyebrow suspiciously.
"Y-Yes, they are… Sorry!" Bepo apologized and Law rolled his eyes. "But their hands are full at the moment. Patient 325 is in a critical situation, Doctor Chopper and some Doctors and Nurses from his team are personally operating the patient inside the Operation Room."
Bepo is really worried, Law can tell.
"Besides, Shachi and Penguin are already there because they need our medical team's help."
Law didn't speak anymore as they walk, nearing the Emergency Room.
"Sorry!" Bepo apologized again.
When they arrived at the Emergency Room, they were greeted by Shachi and Penguin who are tending to the other injured patients.
When Law saw his assigned patient's condition, he shook his head and quickly ordered Bepo what to do. He's a-hundred percent sure that those burns will definitely leave a permanent scarring on his patient's skin, probably for the rest of his life.
"These burns will definitely leave a permanent scar." Law muttered under his breath as he assessed the burns while he finished patching up the patient's burns. "Be sure to tell the nurses what we had assessed to this patient. Also, tell them that I recommend an ointment for the burns to heal them well and prevent it from rashes."
Bepo nodded while helping him to bandage up the patient's left sides, especially the face. When they stabilize the patient that they were assigned to, they quickly leave the Emergency Room.
Law and Bepo needs to rest for a while. Because Law knows that he will have his exhausting daily rounds in a half hour. Both had part their ways in the Nurse station. Bepo needs to give the assessment of Patient 324 to the nurses and Law will just go back to his office.
While walking his way back, Law noticed a hospital bed coming from an Operation Room. He saw the patient's half body is covered in a white cloth and the torso is bandaged. Law already know what happened inside, it was immediately confirmed when a relief and happy Doctor Chopper came out of the room, next.
"Congratulations Chopper! You're really one of the greatest doctors around, I'm sure Luffy will be happy that you save his brother." Nami congratulates the Doctor and her cheeks flushed when she mentioned the name "Luffy".
Chopper blushed too but from the compliments from his assistant, "Shut up! Calling me one of the greatest doctors around doesn't even make me happy, jerk!"
Nurse Nami laughed at Doctor Chopper. Law's forehead dropped a sweat while looking at the happy Doctor Chopper while Nurse Nami continually praise and compliment the doctor. Some nurses coming next to them, pulled the hospital bed to a Private room.
When Law passed by the happy doctor and the nurse, "Congratulations to your successful Operation, Doctor Chopper-ya"
Doctor Chopper grinned happily that he can't even speak a word to Law.
"I hope that the kid in the lobby earlier that keeps bugging us is okay now. He's really worried for his brothers, glad that both brothers are safe." One of the nurses that're pulling the hospital bed whispered to another.
"But they're idiots for setting their kitchen on fire."
"But they're still handsome brothers."
Law stopped walking. He just stared at the hospital bed where a raven haired boy lay asleep.
"What worse could have happened in that "kitchen fire" incident?" Law thought before he shook his head – Bonney-ya and Eustass-ya could do a better accident than that! – and looked at his wrist watch. Twenty minutes left before his daily rounds.
"Law" someone yelled his name from behind.
Law was startled at the sudden yelling of a messy raven haired boy with a wide grin that came to him. He frowned at the boy suspiciously because the boy is acting like he knows Law well.
"What's with the look?" the boy said and crossed his arms, pouting. Then he suddenly looked like he remembered something important. "Oh! I forgot, I'm Monkey D. Luffy. Do you wanna hear something crazy?"
Law raised his eyebrow while looking at the boy with interest.
"Crazy?" Law mumbled.
"Yup!" the boy, Luffy joyfully said while swinging his arms excitedly.
Law smirked and then tilted his head while staring down at the boy with mild interest.
"What is it?"
"Do you know that you can write to someone from the future? Because I did! Two years ago, I built this awesome mailbox because I was lonely and bored. Then I decided to send a letters for my brother, Sabo. Though, Sabo never received it but it was okay since he came back last year. Do you know that someone had received and had read my letters for my brother? Isn't that rude?" Luffy told Law while huffing before he grinned.
Law crossed his arms as he keeps listening to Luffy's ridiculous and indeed crazy story. Law thought if listening to the boy is worthy of his precious time. But he's so interested in the boy's story, he didn't know why.
"But then that's where I started to write to someone from the future. Do you wanna know who it is?" Luffy said while impatiently waiting for Law's answer.
"Who is it?" Law asked while staring at Luffy's expression, it's quite entertaining.
The boy suddenly scratched his nape and puts his hand inside his pants' pocket. Law waited patiently for the boy's answer but instead, Luffy handed him a paper (and from the looks of the paper, it's quite old because of the almost yellow sides).
"What's this?" Law asked looked at Luffy, and then to the paper before looking back to the boy again.
"It was the last letter that I got from the person who I used to write and he's the "someone from the future." Luffy sheepishly answered him.
Law looked at the letter curiously and to Luffy. His right hand slowly grabbed the paper from Luffy's hand. Then he opened the letter and his eyes widened when he saw the hand writing. It was messy but he recognized who wrote it.
"He saved my life, so I save his life too. You know, I don't want my friend to die. I just want him to be happy!" Luffy whispered shyly.
And with his wide shocked eyes, Law looked at Luffy who nodded at him while looking back at him, before Law looked back at the letter and read it.
Luffy-ya,
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! If you happen to receive this letter then please don't go where I am and forget what I asked you to do for me. Don't help me! Don't save my friends! I'm really sorry! It was my fault so please listen to me! You will die if you go there! The bullet that you will receive is a bullet that was for me… I'm sorry for being selfish. I'm sorry that I get you involved in my life. Please don't die! I know that it wasn't my fault that my friends died that day two years ago but it's my fault that you had died.
*insert smudged ink and tears stain in some part of the letter*
It's so painful to think that a worthless person like me was protected by you from that incident. You shouldn't have protected me, you shouldn't have died. I'm the one who should've died that day, not you. So please Luffy-ya, don't die for me… Please… Don't protect me because I would rather receive that bullet than you getting killed because you protected me. You're not supposed to die that day, I am… with my friends. Please… I beg you… Stay alive… Don't go in there…
Your friend,
Law
PS. I think that this is my last letter for you. I'm sorry that I cannot meet you in two years. I was the one who failed to meet you, not you. Take care, Luffy-ya. You're such a great friend. If I ever been reborn after I died. I want to meet you again and then let's be real friends.
Law is shaking uncontrollably. His legs feels numb and he can't even think right after reading his somewhat, own hand written letter for this boy, Luffy.
"You…" Law chocked his words, he can't open his lips right and he can't find his voice.
"Shishishishi! You're so dramatic, Law. You know that it's too simple that you can just ask me to call the police and arrest those bad guys."
Law's lips slightly parted, he's still shocked at the boy.
"Damn… that was so uncool!" Law thought while narrowing his eyebrows.
Why did that "Trafalgar Law", who wrote the letter is so emotional? He wasn't emotional like this… no. Law is not emotional, no… not at all.
"Now, I know why you told me that your life is dangerous two years ago. You're not just in a group but in a gang! You're so awesome!" Luffy exclaimed and laughed heartily.
Law smiled while looking at the boy. Luffy didn't just save him back then but his friends too. Somehow, he believed that this idiot saved him and his friends back then, the proof? He remembered that the Police officers came and arrested them. His father had grounded him for a month and he's in College, believe it or not, He's grounded in College! He wasn't a freaking preppy, as Eustass-ya called the high school-ers.
"So how did you get in an accident?" Law asked when he finally found his voice. "You seem all right, not like your brother."
"I'm all right because Sabo protected me from the explosion. Ace is an idiot, falling asleep whole cooking and creating a grease fire… and then waking up, throwing a glass of water at the fire."
'Idiots…"
