Everyone was chattering but Luffy's some friends were a bit stiff while talking.
After a while Luffy announced, "I am hungry," and his stomach growled after that.
"We forgot to ask Law about Luffy's diet," Sabo remembered.
"Well you people were distracted so that was bound to happen," Koala said. At that Sabo and Ace got a bit embarrassed.
"I want meat!" Luffy demanded.
"For tonight you have to eat what the hospital will give," Ace stated.
Luffy got a bit sad after hearing he wouldn't be able to eat meat.
"It's for only tonight yoi. From tomorrow on someone can bring you meat related food items," Marco calmly said trying to cheer him up a bit. Luffy just nodded at that with a pout.
"Let's go Marco. We have to see where Law might be," Ace said.
"Well Koala and I will go buy drinks for everyone," Sabo said, turned towards others and asked, "Do you guys need anything in particular to drink or anything is fine?"
"Anything is fine with us Sabo san," Robin replied and the rest nodded.
"So, we will be back in few minutes," Sabo stated and the four went out. Sabo was the last one to get out so he just slide the door as if closing fully but kept a slight gap to hear their voices.
He then followed the three to the elevator and waited for it to come. When the elevator opened he said in a hurried tone, "Oh shoot, I forgot that….. Koala go ahead I will catch up with you." Before anyone could react he speed walked from there.
Meanwhile with Luffy and the others, after his friends deemed that the footsteps went away, Ussop asked Luffy,"Luffy what are you going to do about Law?"
"Torao?" Luffy questioned and then excitedly started talking,"Isn't Torao cool? Of course he was cool and awesome like that when we were kids and he-"
Nami interrupted his rant and asked,"Luffy we are talking about your crush on Dr. Trafalgar."
"What about it?" Luffy asked, question mark on his face.
"What Nami san and Ussop are trying to say is that Trafalgar is your brother. So it's not good to have a crush on him," Sanji stated calmly.
"Why? We already had promised that we are going to marry each other. I am lucky that the cool customer and Torao are one!" Luffy said happily.
"Wait, what!?" Everyone except Robin exclaimed in shock. Luffy just blinked at their reaction.
"Luffy san, you can't marry or be in relationship with your brother. That's not how it works," Brook said kindly.
"But Ji chan said that since Torao is adopted and he is distant cousin, it's possible. So I am going to marry him no matter what!" Luffy declared.
Everybody just stared at Luffy as nobody knew what to say on that. But it was short lived as Robin started to chuckle and said, "Do your best at asking him out, captain."
"It's super cool to follow through your promise," Franky stated giving his signature pose of leaning to one side and bending the knee on the same side while the other leg is straight and going the opposite direction. While with his arms, he puts over his head and lock together wrist-to-wrist while throwing his head back.
Luffy grinned at that and their conversation resumed to some other topic knowing well that what Luffy decided was final.
Unbeknownst to them Sabo heard their conversation and now was walking away deep in thought.
'Luffy genuinely likes Law and what he says is unbelievably facts that are correct. Heck, even Roger and Rouge are distant cousins and yet they got married. But what Ji chan said was it just to calm Luffy since he is stubborn as mule or did he truly meant it? I wouldn't mind helping Luffy but what would Ace say? Ace is too overprotective of Luffy. Should I ask Ace indirectly and see his reaction? And what about Law? If he doesn't feel anything and Luffy gets upset because of that, how are we going to view Law?'
He didn't noticed when he reached the store still in thoughts about what he should do or should not do. He only stopped his thought process when Koala was trying to get his attention, "Hello, earth to handsome."
"Ah, sorry. Let me carry them." He said taking the bags.
"What's wrong?" Koala asked worriedly.
"Nothing. Just thinking about Luffy," he deflected the topic.
"Of course. When are you and Ace never over protective of Luffy. Cool down Sabo, he is not a kid anymore. He is safe and fine and don't think to much about it. Just think that he saved someone's life as he has always dreamt of helping people,' Koala said and a bit annoyed at their overprotectiveness.
"Yeah, I know and I am very proud of him but at the same time I do worry about him," Sabo replied.
"Of course, after all siblings look after each other."
They then met with Ace and Marco on the way to Luffy's room. After a bit of chit chatting, everybody decided to return home and let Luffy rest.
