Chapter III - Restless Mind

For a moment Penguin stayed in front of the cabin of his captain. He looked to the right side along the empty corridor up to the corner, which around the left it led to more cabins and to the galley as well as outside. Earlier he had came together with Law from there.
And probably even now they were the only ones on board. Except of Kanaye, who was on guard duty this evening and was therefore on his way around the ship now, if he had not snatched one of Law's medical books after all and was reading it right now. The others were certainly on the road. Otherwise it had not been that quiet, since drunken pirates were rarely soft-footed going in their cabins. And at least probably Ban had laid down together with not less than one woman. Penguin had to grin: Right now he envied him not a bit. Instead he turned to the left where the grey steel walls continued the corridor the same as on the other side too, only mirror-inverted, so you could get from both sides to the lower weather deck. He glanced briefly to the door beside him: Would Law remember what happened the next day? Penguin shrugged his shoulders. In the end he could not change anything now. Especially the drunken state and the tiredness bore down on him so much that he ran out of steam to think intensely about what if. And so he remained to be seen and set off yawning to his and Shachi's cabin, where the other surely was sound asleep by now.
"Right, Shachi… if he has heard us? Or if he… has heard Law? Or if Kanaye has heard him? No, quite sure he is sunk in a book," Penguin considered.
Everyone on board knew that Kanaye gladly devoted himself to the medical literature, which otherwise only was read by their captain. Sure he was no doctor, as Law was, and could not even touch his expertise, but apart from that he surpassed the rest of the crew well concerning medical knowledge. And this was just due to that he used every possible minute to continue his studies. He had Law's complete consent to do this and was allowed, as well as the other crewmembers, if they just wanted to do so, to treat himself to read his books. And he even did this in case he was on night watch. But as never anything had happened when Kanaye had been looking after the ship Law never had mind it. Penguin was not sure, if Kanaye was favored by luck or if he was even that attentive while reading that he would have had noticed every sound on board anyway.
"But well, even if he has heard Law, then he will assume that he hauled one of the broads in his cabin. Even though he wouldn't do this usually, since he was the one who has imposed the ban on women on board. Besides he first had to realize that the moan was Law's voice." Penguins grin broadened more and more while he was thinking about how his captain's voice came into his ears and how he looked withal. "Whatever. Maybe he wasn't even that loud as I thought. If nobody has noticed it and if Law won't waste any word about it, and as I know him he won't do that in any case, this will remain my little secret forever."
He reached his room. As silent as possible he opened the massive steel door, moved in and closed it again. Only less light fell from the town through the big round porthole. Nevertheless he could recognize Shachi, who was obviously sleeping deeply in his bunk.
The smirk on Penguin's face gave way for a soft smile as he saw the younger lying there breathing calmly, "Well, at least he's not crying. And as well it doesn't seem as he has heard us."
Again he had to yawn and began to undress himself anon to get in his own bed just in his boxer shorts. But before he laid down entirely and closed his eyes he thought again of what just had happened.
During that he looked at his best friend, "Sorry, Shachi. Although we are telling everything the other one, even you will never get to hear of that."

- flashback end -

After Law had rebuffed Penguin considering the visit of a bar and had left him in the hallway to the treatment room, his way led him downstairs where the rooms of the crew were. Determined he made his way to his cabin. He went at a smart pace past the sleeping rooms of his crew members, turned the corner once and pushed the door to his own four walls roughly open. With a sudden movement of his hand he slammed the door after himself. The loud bang, which came up from it and resounded in the hallway, did not bother him in the least.
"Knowing the others they have already set off to the town," he thought while he went over to his desk and let himself fall into his comfortable chair.
Law himself did not feel the need to go out and to have fun - no, not today. Not after what he had done just again. Besides on board a lot of work awaited him and he prefered spending his time on it. And if it was not work he rather read a book and improved himself. You never knew when this knowledge would be of use. Most of all as a doctor it was of major importance knowing a lot and being able to recall it in an emergency.
He opened the left upper drawer of his desk, pulled it utterly open and took the logbook out.
"It's getting time," he spoke his thoughts aloud, opened the book and turned some of the written pages over until he got to his last entry.
It had been a while he noticed when he looked at the date of the last entry. Slightly annoyed about himself a murmur escaped his throat. He had let things slide too much. And whose fault was that? In his mind's eye only for a moment the picture of Penguin showed up, but he rapidly tried to suppress it and to concentrate himself on his actual task. It worked out - for now.
Law pulled the small inkpot to himself, opened the cap and reached with his right hand towards his pen. He dipped it in the ink, set it on the empty white paper and wrote in more or less readable writing the for the logbook relevant events of the last weeks down. Luckily he had a really good memory and did not forget things so fast, so he could now write them down in detail.
Only his normally outstanding ability to concentrate left a lot to be desired lately. As the tip of the feather incessantly went over the page, a word after the other appeared on the paper, the doctor's thoughts wandered off again. He was sure that his crew had found a well visited bar in the town and was mightily amused.
"If Penguin is enjoying himself too? Possibly even with women?" was his thought crossing his mind.
Hastily he shook his head. Why of all things did he have to think about this right now? It usually did not matter to him what his guys and therefore also Penguin did on such boozy sessions.
Anyway previously it had been that way, but lately it was not more like that and he thought with increasing frequency pointedly of the older one. First of all thereby he thought of the sex with him. And even though he tried to suppress it, in these moments where he was alone it came up again. Because it did not remain just this one time - and yes, he remembered everything in detail. Every time anew he cursed himself for it, even though he secretly enjoyed the sex with Penguin more than anything else. Yet admitting and standing his man he could not do that. In order to do this his pride and ego was too big. And also the thought butted in that it was wrong, if he as the captain in this manner slept with someone. And like that he searched for another way to compensate for it.
Shachi had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time and one evening, when he and the surgeon had remained alone on board, he had let the latter a too close go at himself. Law had yet known that the younger already had slept with his best friend and so he had made full use of this information. Assuming the active part had not been difficult to Law in any case, although Shachi was a man as well. Especially as he already knew how it worked due to Penguin. And because the younger did not struggle and endured everything and obviously had neither talked about it with Penguin nor anyone else, the doctor could vent his pent-up fury, which chiefly applied his own person, on him. That was exactly what he had just done in the treatments room. Law knew that it was bad. It was obvious to Law that he abused Shachi and his reticence and harmed him to get a clean conscience, what was crowned with bad success besides. That he just had had sex for though, he did not feel satisfied at all. Quite the contrary.
"Fuck," escaped him.
Slightly annoyed Law put the ink pen aside, after all he knew that it was pointless to write any further. How much he wanted to continue on his work, he could no longer concentrate on it. This urge deep down inside himself got bigger again and he could not fight back any longer. Leaning back in his chair he closed his eyes and stroked with his right hand over his crotch. A quiet gasp leaked through his lips. Even now he could already feel that his penis started to get hard.
While he opened the belt of his pants plus them too and let his hand slip inside his boxer shorts, he thought how it was not his hand touching him there right now. But he would not admit what he actually wanted it nor go to the person concerned and beg him to do it with him. He just could not do it. When after that evening it happened again that he had slept with Penguin it was because Penguin approached him. Always. Til this one time.

- a few weeks ago -

Laying on his back Law opened the eyes and blinked a few times. The sun, which was already high in the sky and which the Heart Pirate's captain, who was a morning crouch unparalleled, thought was the morning sun, blinded him through the huge window of his cabin. Half asleep he turned his head at his right side and took a look at the face of his alarm-clock: Quarter past eleven. Again he had nearby slept until noon. Thereby this time was really early by his standards. It happened quite often that he slept until afternoon, if nobody woke him. But in these cases he mostly had not been in bed before the early morning hours at sunrise if at all. He just was a night person, but did not have a healthy sleep-wake cycle.
"I can't remember when I went to bed," he moved his head back and looked up at the ceiling, "but anyhow I've dreamed awful crap. I must have drunk too much."
He had just finished the last thought when his tactile sense woke up finally and he noticed that he was holding something in his left hand.
"Huh?" With this interrogative sound towards himself and corresponding face expression he lifted his arm slowly and moved his hand in front of his face.
It was white paper tissue which peeped out of his closed fist. At first he was confused, before a few moments later he was suddenly horrified and sat up quickly. Too quickly as he noticed when a sharp pain, which radiated from his bottom, went through his body. He winced briefly, but remained seated and looked down himself in panic: He was naked. Not that his own nudity shocked him, but he was used to sleep in comfortable trousers or at least in boxers. For that this was not the case now he would gladly blame yesterday's evening, when he have had a drop too much and therefore had undressed himself too far. But that this was not so his behind made clear as well as the tissue in his hand. Law swallowed: He could remember everythinks, every single detail of the last night. Until a few seconds he had thought it was just a weird dream.
Only hesitantly he dared to look between his legs on the mattress, clenched his teeth in the process since it hurt furthermore to bend forward. And there he saw what he hoped not to discover: Dried stains on the white sheet, which were indicative of that recently something had dropped on it. As a man he recognized these sort of stains and immediately he knew what he was dealing with.
He looked up again and numb against the wall opposite of his bed: "That can't be true. That… MUST not be true."
It had not been a dream. He had actually slept with one of his men - and that even passive. It seemed for him as if his stomach turned around his own axis and he started to feel worse. Not because of the thing itself or of the stains, which were brought along it. No, much more since he realized that it had pleased him in the end. He could really remember each spoken word, each single sound even each gesture, which they both had uttered. It echoed in his own ears how he ordered Penguin, nearly already had begged him to continue. The feeling how he had enjoyed it came up again and let him shiver. Hasty, even though it hurt, Law jumped up. The crumpled up paper tissues he hurriedly picked up from the floor and disposed of them together with the one in his hand into the trash, before he went back to the bed, pulled up his boxer shorts and jeans and tore the sheets faster than he had ever done before in his life from the mattress. He put it as a bundle under his arm and went to the wardrobe. That his rectal hurt with each step he tried to ignore it ably. He was never squeamish and would not start to be it now. Besides everything inside him demanded to get under the shower. If possible he hoped he could wash away the previous night and with it to get rid of the thoughts about it.
With clean clothes and a stained sheet under the arm he left his chamber and went the direct way to the bathroom.
Unlike at other times he did not care at all if his entire crew showed up on board after the last evening.
In his head there was only one thought: "No one is allowed to hear of this!"

Suddenly he pushed the door to the shower room open and noticed that someone before him already had got the same idea. At least the water flowed in one of the three shower cabins.
Now, of all times! But hiding something what was going on inside him Law was an expert in that. So he went, after he had put his clean clothes aside, with an undeterred face to the tray with the dirty laundry, disposed of the sheet and his worn pants and grabbed a tower from the pile on the shelf, to afterwards walking up to one of the free showers. He had always approved that they even though being all men had not an open big shower room. Instead you had a bit of privacy and were not under surveillance if you leaned back absorbed in thought under the ray of water for a few minutes. Just that he would do now after he had washed away the remains of the last night from his body. He had just hung his towel beside the cabin and wanted to enter the shower when the rushing of water next door stopped and the door was opened. Holding the handle of the cabin door in his hand Law froze once again, but this time testier since in the corner of his eye he recognized who had stepped out of the door.
And also the other noticed him when he grasped at his towel.
"Oh, good morning, Captain." Penguin spoke quite and neutral to him from the side, while he began to rub his raven hair dry.
Law did not say anything at all, but he knew something for sure, "It is not my day."
The older hung the towel over his shoulders and held on to it on both ends, for sure realizing that his counterpart remain motionless, "Is everything alright?".
The surgeon's eyes got closer due to this question. Was he serious about that? Didn't he remember anything? Yet he just had been sure that the other had been much more sober than himself.
"Are you kidding me?" Scowling he looked at Penguin, who stood still naked and soaking wet next to him.
He was swallowing, since he knew what had happened last night. And just that moment he realized that also his captain could remember everything.
Hastily he glanced once through the room, to make sure they were alone, before he looked back at the younger again and now approached him more quitely but much more nervously instead, "No, Captain. But that is just quite sure between the two of us! I swear!"
Law remembered Penguin's words he said last evening. Obviously the older was still afraid to be teared up to pieces. But the doctor did not have had time yet to think about how he wanted to proceed with Penguin. He had not envisaged to cross his path that soon again.
"For sure it will," he sizzled, "one word and you will regret it!"
The stress of Law's word made clear that he was not larksome at all.
"Aye, Captain!" To the older it seemed advisable to follow his order loyal again, nevertheless he dared finally making a comment smirking, "I just hope it doesn't hurt that bad. But you wanted it like that."
That this was not a good idea Law's deadly glance made clear when he turned around his head and flashed at him, "That's not one of your damn business!"
Penguin boggled a little. But only a few seconds later he stood again upright again as he noticed how Law's expression, which just had been such awing, suddenly got empty and seemed to be stucked at him.
And he was not wrong with that at all. Even Law caught himself a few moments later how his subconscious mind drew his attention again on that torso, which was much broader and more muscelous that his own. Like in trance he watched the waterdrops falling from Penguin's wet hair down on his chest and running further down. He realized his brain wanted to make his hands to touch his opposite. But this did not happen, since he barely could recover himself.
"What are you doing again?" cuffed Law himself inside and turned his head away quickly.
"We talk later!" So he made off inside the shower and left back a visibly confused Penguin.
Immadetily he turned on the water to get under it and face the shower head. So he did not notice as well how the other left the room soon after.
"Fuck! What was this again? Why did I stare at him as anything again? There can't be so much alcohol left in my blood after so many hours." Law did not understand himself any longer.
Just now he wanted to stand here to handle the fact that he slept with Penguin. Now he had to ascertain that he had just gazed at him completely unintentionally again. And besides suddenly the desire to touch him as well had arisen inside him. What the hell was going on? Had someone slipped him some aphrodisiac at the evening? Impossible. For what reason? Law bowed his head, opened the eyes and looked at his palms. He never had been the type which was attracted by another person so much that he he even looked at him uncontrolled and even fell like touching him. Especially no male! And above all none of his own crew, with whom he had been at sea for such a long time now! He leaned his forearm against the still cold tiles above the faucet and his brow against that so that the water felt down on his neck and back. He did not understand anything at all any longer. Up to now he had blamed the alcohol for everything, although it was absurd. But now? He sighed in remained in this pose.
It took perceived donkey's years til Law could brace up to finally wash himself and leave the shower in the end. To a solution why he suddenly reacted to Penguin like he had showered in pheromones he had lately not come anyway. But still his seemingly out of control body requested for something familiar now: coffee - in fact much of it.
Therefore the doctor went with a still tortured bottom as well as thoughts to the galley, but had put on a neutral mien. When he arrived there and went in, there were beside the cook Dai, who obviously prepared the lunch, also Kanaye, Shou and Bepo present.
"Oi! Good morgen, Captain!," Dai shouted while he flipped something in the pan standing at the stove and saw him in the corner of his eye.
Even Kanaye and Shou, who again debated loudly about something, and also Bepo, who had tried to calm them down to no avail, as a result looked up at him and greeted him. Since it was nothing unusual that he stood up so late they referred to it as the morning for him.
"Morning," he said barely as he unerring went up to the coffeepot, which stood as usual at this hour in the area to keep it warm beside the stove.
While doing that he shortly peered in the faces of all those present, upon it watching out for someone of them looked strangely at him. It might be that they had heard something it crossed his mind. But it did not seem that way since currently everyone of them attended to their previous activity. With a brimming coffee cup Law sat down without letting anything of his former wound show at the big dining table and opened the newspaper, which laid there every day for him.
Usually he used to study it very intensively and spend a lot attention on the attached wanted posters. To him it was important to know how high the bounties of several criminals and those who were entitled like this wrongly. Lastly he aimed for major felons for a special reason. But today he could not concentrate on it at all. However after all?
"Kanaye?" he suddenly talked at the tall, raven-haired spectacle wearer, who had just knuckled on Shou's head.
He looked back, "Yes, Captain?"
"Anything suspicious last night?" While he asked this, the surgeon continued browsing the newspaper purposelessly.
He had just remembered that, if anyone had witnessed anything, it soonest had to be the one who had been on night watch.
"No, nothing." The answer was to calm and realxed so that Law did not expect he was lying.
Anyway he looked back at him proving. But also his expression did not purpout as he was hiding something. Therefore he now glanced at Bepo.
"What about the Log Pose?" he wanted to know.
The navigator spinned around, "Aye! The new course is set."
"Well. Than we put out to sea promptly, as soon as everyone is on board, and dive!" was Law's clear order.
After they had left Amazon Lily they returned to the Sabaody Archipelago with help of an Eternal Pose which Rayleigh had handed over to them. But at this time the captain of the Heart Pirates already had decided that he would not sally to the New World all too soon. In any case he wanted to avoid the danger to be involved in unnecessary fights. He knew that at the moment a huge amount of rookies were betaken there and also the marine would become more active on the other side of the Redline. And this at a sea which was, as he had heard multiple times, anyway much rougher than the local one. So it was just reckless to spring at the Grandline's second half blindly. Further he wanted to wait til some of his enemies had put out each other out of action. Since he did neither wanted to endanger his men nor himself if avoiding was possible. Besides he had some other plans than just finding the One Piece. Ever it was just a pretence to be on the Grandline. Even his own crew did not know about this. As they did not know a lot about him until the present day. But nevertheless they followed him steadily. They trusted him, but had already tried to probe. However they always had dashed against his hard shell and had accepted that the purposes and plans of their captain were not always clear or obvious at all. Law did not perceive why he should tell them anything about his intentions or himself, he assumed that they trusted him though. Who did not want to accept was free to leave. But until now nobody had turned his back on him. Instead the also followed him when they used a further Eternal Pose, that Law bought at the Sabaody Archipelago, to sail singular way back at the first half of the Grandline
just to head again for the Archipelago on a new course. And nobody scrutinized this paradoxical seeming action. From time to time he wondered himself, if it was wise to follow him without knowing anything. But also he knew that he would not be able to go very far on his own. Therefore he left it at that before betraying anything and so shattering his really tough and battle seasoned crew.
Although they had only docked at the island the day before, they followed him even now without asking when Bepo reacted with an "Aye!" and dashed to the bridge. No one could guess that this time his only reason for the order to put out to sea was only because he wanted to leave this island fast. After all she had got him to do something which he would regret his whole life long.
The door of the galley had not fully closed behind the first mate as it already was opened by Ban again.
"Morning," he yawned inside the room.
"Morning?" as a result Kanaye said, who in the meantime had laid down his dispute with Shou, because he was to his satisfaction forced to peel the potatoes by Dai, "Have you looked at the time?"
"Eh," the other sat down at a chair beside the table, "it's morning. Do you know when I laid inside my bunk?"
The wearer of the glasses looked vastly superior at the ceiling, "Let me think. If you gave each of the three ladies with whom we had seen you leaving shortly at half past one the same attention and you need for the way back to the ship five minutes, then it was kinda twenty to two."
Indeed Ban gave the impression of being tired, but not as much that he would not understand what his opposite wanted to say with it, "Make twenty to five out of it and it will be right. As long I had namely fun with the ladies."
"It's impossible. You know smoking makes impotent," the other responded.
But Ban showed him his middle finger as an answer, pulled a toothpick from the pocket of his overall and started to chew on it like he did it often as a replacement for smoking. Because on deck was out of safety reason a strict smoking ban what was a total pain for the chain smoker on longer dives.
Law only listened lukewarmly to the conversation and went on reading the paper. At least it seemed like this. He was still trapped by his thoughts. Besides it was nothing new that the literate and rather careful Kanaye tried to wind the cheeky daredevil Ban up by ascribe poor steadfastness in bed to him. You could have the impression that Kanaye always was after dispute. But this was not the case. To the contrary: Altogether he was a calm and friendly contemporary. Only Shou and Ban, who both were really rude, made him sometimes behaving like this. Whereby Shou, who with his eighteen years the crew's youngest member, appeared much more naive and at least had no big mouth in front of their captain.
Quite different from Ban, who looked now at the latter one and approached him, "Well, you've found the way into your bed yet again? You really boozed a lot, Captain."
"Your problem?" Law spouted unconcerned as he was used to such sayings of him.
Ban remain undeterred, since he knew his captain long enough, "We really were in fear that you might fall into the harbour's basin. But fortunately Penguin went along with you. I'm sure he tucked you in unhurt."
Already his first sentence made Law freezing again. He did not have a clue how scantily he escaped from that. And the doctor remembered that Penguin pulled him at his chest in the very nick of time and how warm he fell then. That was something Law did not want to think of now less than ever. Ban's last words were the final straw and he plunked his coffee mug on the table, took the newspaper under his arm, while he stood up rashly, and went over to the door.
"Stop cracking and instead make sure that everyone is on board. We cast off." So he left the room.
"Wow, he is in a bad mood today," Shou, who just fetched a big sack of spuds from the storeroom, mentioned.
Ban, who was already used to wrongfoot Law from time to time, even it did not happen always, kept calm. "Well, guess he regrets that the women for not good enough and he, compared to me, only had sex with right hand if at all. Finally he is just a man too."
"But one with more class and claims compared to you," Kanaye replied while he passed him at his way to the exit, whereupon Ban reacted with a fake yawn, "I'll yet tell the others that we are casting off and diving and take care that everyone is…"
But he could not finish his sentence as the carrier of the headband was abruptly awake at the word "dive", jumped up and flashed past him, "Dude, say it before that we are going to dive! You know very well that I want to smoke before that!"
Kanaye shrugged with his shoulders while Ban already bolt out of the door. "I haven't said you just because of this."
Behind him was the laugher of Shou and Dai to hear.

After Law had left the galley again his glance was darker than ever. He did not feel like having any company. Most of all not of such whose main subject above all was sex. He better went back into his cabin again and there he pored over something alone. He had not come far as he could hear behind him the door to the galley being opened again and noticed how someone hastily stormed to the weather deck.
There were only two persons of the crew who usually were in a hurry to get outside, Bepo, when after a longer dive it got too warm in his bear skin again, or however Ban, who had to smoke fast before or after a dive. Since the first could not be true, especially since the vice-captain was not in the galley anymore, it could only be the last one, who only got to know that they would be under water again and he would be forced being a nonsmoker for time. Even though Ban was a bigmouth and had often even before him a loose tongue, he still was a faithful member of the crew. Law knew that he could depend on him in case of emergency, the more so as he was a huge strong fighter - beside Penguin probably the strongest on board.
Damn it! There HE was again in his head.
Teeth-gnashing Law continued his way. Usually it was rare that he immediately gave the command for diving after leaving a harbour. Since he did not want to bother neither Bepo nor Ban needlessly and also the rest of the crew was happy if they could go outside instead of being imprisoned in the yellow steel ship quite a few meters under the sea level. Even himself did not have to be under water nonstop. But to him it seemed to be the safest method to rescue them from attacks. And those he feared the most when he was absent-minded. Sure his crew was tough and a pretty good team, but nevertheless he was the only one on board with devil powers, which were already had been their last escape against other devil fruit users. But at the moment he was really too out of it as if he would have risked to be involved in a fight. And it would only be for some hours, as he thought when he entered his cabin.
But only a few hours became quite a few and so it was already dark when Law bethought and the ship burst through the sea surface due to his order. Hitherto he had spent the time brooding in his room and skipped lunch and dinner once again , just to pace up and down in his cabin.
Meanwhile he had tried take his mind off it through reading his books. But even this had been less successful. He just could not let go of what he had done last night and especially the fact that he had liked it and even sober his body reacted so strange to Penguin.

Also during the following days these were the main thoughts in his head. He just could not explain himself why he just fell that attracted by that man. The thought of it annoyed him downright. He even went to the length of drawing blood himself because he hoped he would be able to explain his behavior due to the medical way. But here he failed too.
That he was again musing about something did not slip his crew's attention as the noticed he distanced attitude. But since every question about his condition was thrown out in anyway, they surrendered soon to be scared for him. And it was not the first time that he acted like this. He did not knew if anyone realized that he completely steered clear of Penguin. He totally stayed away from him just to avoid that weird situation like at the showers. Only once he talked to him. In fact to force him to do the night watch for the next two weeks. Without any reason. At least it looked like that to outsiders. And the others really wondered what Penguin had been up to, because normally Law did not distributed punishments just because on a whim. Generally he was quite human at this and only imposed them when someone had done a serious slip. But as well as out of the doctor it was impossible to tickle anything out of Penguin. He just accepted the punishment mutely and wandered night after night alone through the ship
Also in the tenth night. Law sat at this time broad awake on his bed leaning with the back against the headboard and reading. He could not sleep. Like often in the last nights not. His thoughts drove him to insanity. The night watch he had gave Penguin only out of frustration about himself with the words "You know what for!". By now he regretted it a bit. After all it had not been the fault of the other one that in that night they had got in bed together. He knew that. But he needed a scapegoat. However it did not help to get rid of the thoughts of it. Actually afterwards even he thought that he had acted childish. He had better sought the talk with him, but did not manage to talk about such a matter like as about the weather. He was too embarrassed about what he had done.
That Penguin had similar thoughts in his mind during his nightly rounds and also by day and every time when he passed his captain's cabin stopped for a while and thought about talking to him, Law did not know. And so it lasted until that night that the doctor looked up from his book to the door due to a sudden knock.
