Dear Law,

I saw you and your friends today. You guys are so happy and you are so smiley. I think you can challenge me for who has the largest grin ever! Always remember that you still have friends around you. You will smile again if you can't do it in the future. I don't want that smile on your face to disappear just because you're lonely. I can't imagine that smile vanishing in you. It was the most awesome smile that I've ever seen in my life…

See you tomorrow,

Luffy


"Trafalgar! Get off your ass from that bed and stop being dramatic like a bitch after a useless break up." Kidd shouted, frustrated to his friend as he pulled the blanket around Law.

"It's been two years! I already moved on and it wasn't your fault." Kidd added as he threw away the blanket in the wall of Law's room. "We're all idiots for challenging those geezers."

Law sit up and lean in the headboard, sighing. "It's easy for you to say because it's not your fault."

"You don't know that they have guns, so why is it your fault?"

"It was my fault! Eustass-ya stop telling me it wasn't!"

"Then what about me? After you attacked, I ordered the others to attack!"

"If I didn't attacked them without a plan in the first place then they wouldn't had shoot us. I can prevent them from doing so!"

"You attacked them without a plan because you protected Bonney! You just protected her after they had punched her in the face!" Kidd shouted to his friend, he can't stand Law's self-hatred anymore. All Kidd wants is for Law to straighten up his mind and to stop hurting himself. "If you hadn't attacked them first, I would do it. I bet that Hawkins, Drake, Killer or Apoo are ready to attack them too. Because it's Bonney! She's our Bonney even if she's being an annoying bitch sometimes."

"This issue is endless you know? Here." Law unemotionally said as he handed Kidd a small piece of paper.

"What is this?" Kidd asked, narrowing his eyebrow-less eyebrows.

"It's from the geezers, Capone and Urouge." Law simply informed Kidd, "They want us back despite killing our friends."

Upon hearing Law, Kidd started to get mad and shouted angrily. "Are they bullshitting us?! Why the fuck did they send you this? When did they send this note?"

"Four days ago," Law nonchalantly replied to an angered Kidd, "I received a note like that last month, too. It was before I moved in this house."

"You moved because of this?" Kidd slowly asked. It's obvious that he's keeping his temper and Law just nodded as an answer.

"Fuckshit!" Kidd burst his anger again, "Did those two shitty geezers doesn't have a single bit of remorse?! Our friends died because they killed them and they're asking us to go back?! Bullshit!"

As Kidd keep shouting angry curses, Law stands up and go to the bathroom to take a bath. He's going to overwork himself today like last year. He will overwork himself so that he can find a reason why he can't make it to his friends' death anniversary. He didn't want to face his friends in their tombs tomorrow. He can't just face them… alive and kicking.

"Where are you going?" Kidd asked him, panicking.

"Work." was all Law's short reply.


Lunch break had come and everybody who can eat their lunch and not that busy had gone to the Cafeteria. Well, except for Law. He decided to just settle himself with a cold coffee-in-can and a packed of tuna-mayo rice balls from the vending machine. He can't eat a proper meal for lunch because today is his friends' death anniversary.

While Law is on his way back to his office, He saw Nurse Nami and Doctor Chopper with a long-nosed guy and somehow, he remembered Luffy.

"Chopper don't be depressed like that, Luffy wouldn't like it if you're still depress until now." Law overheard the long-nosed guy said to Doctor Chopper.

"But it's Ace! I can't save Ace!" Doctor Chopper's eyes started to swell in tears. "I disappoint Luffy! I think I can't face him for today!"

"Chopper…" Nami said softly as she smiled sweetly and caressed the doctor's brown hair. "You did your best to save Ace but he gave up, remember? Luffy is happy too, I'm sure of that. Who wouldn't be happy if you're finally with your idiotic brother?"

"…who sets up the house on fire," the long-nosed guy softly added while shaking his head.

Law stopped his tracks as he narrowed his eyes when he heard what Nami had said to Doctor Chopper. There's something wrong…

"What happened to Luffy?" Law suddenly interrupted the trio.

"Luffy? You know Luffy?" the long-nosed guy suspiciously asked Law.

Law slightly parted his mouth. He didn't know how to answer the long-nosed guy. He knows Luffy but not personally.

"S-Somehow, you can say that I knew him." Law answered not surely, "So what happened to him?"

Nami stared at Law for a while before she crossed her arms. Doctor Chopper is sobbing now.

"Don't you know it? Everybody who knew Luffy knows what happened to him." Nami answered him bitterly and she suddenly glared at Law while tears are forming in her eyes.

Law suddenly felt weird as guilt ran through him. It was like he did something wrong but he didn't know yet what it is. It wasn't like what he used to feel for his friends for the last two years since their death. This weird feeling is unusually strong and Law believe that the guilt he feels for his friends the last two years is nothing compared to this weird feeling.

"If I remember correctly, you're there too! That idiot! For all the streets, for all the places he can go…" Nami murmured and tears fell from her cheeks, she had to look away from Law.

Silence filled the hallway where the four stand. Law is left with an unanswered question. Doctor Chopper is still sobbing and Nami is now crying. The long-nosed guy is the one who decided to answer his question and break the silence.

"Luffy had died two years ago, this same day. My best friend was accidentally shot while passing by in a street to meet us up." He grimly answered Law, "It was so painful you know? That the last call that we received from him is like he knows that he will die on his way."

Law can't feel his muscles. He suddenly felt numb all over his body that he can't move. Luffy-ya died…

"Did Robin and Koala already come?" someone asked the trio from Law's back.

Law tried his best to move to see who's talking from his back. He saw a blonde man with bandage from his left head. He remembered that he was the one who patched up the burns of this man, almost four weeks ago.

"Not yet, stop being impatient! You're just like your brothers, Sabo!"

"Is that so, Usopp?"

"You're really like Ace!"

"Man… they're really slow."

"Stop ignoring me like Luffy used to!"

"Sorry if I remind you guys of my brothers."

"You're still ignoring me!"

Usopp… Sabo… Ace…

Law thanked Usopp and the two, Nurse Nami and Doctor Chopper. Law even thanked Sabo before he left. While trying his best to walk away from them, Law unexpectedly remembered what had happened that day.

When Capone punched Bonney right in her face, it angered him for what they've done to her and he attacked Urouge. Kidd ordered the others to attack Capone's men to get revenge but before they could attack them, the geezer flaunted a pistol and aimed at them. Drake shouted at their friends to run when he saw the pistol but while running away he was shot, their friends was shot while running. Kidd was shot in the shoulder too but Law didn't, he didn't receive any bullet from the geezer. From the corner of his mind he saw a lanky teenager with a blurred face but he can see the grin on his face. Of course, the teenager is grinning at him while lying in the ground where Law used to stand, blood flows from the teenager's head.

It was really his fault…

Luffy-ya… No! Don't go in there!

Was the only thing that ran through Law's mind, he run as fast as he left his post and snatched the pen and a paper that he first saw, which is the one that Bepo held. Both Penguin and Shachi saw him running and shouted at him to come back. He ignored the two because right now, Law feels that Luffy is more important. His friends that he always miss so much, their death that was his fault… somehow he forgot about them and all he thinks is a friend that he never met personally.

Luffy-ya…

When Law got in his car, he drove his way back home immediately. Unfortunately while in the main road there's an accident that happened and he's stuck in a freaking traffic. He wished that Luffy's idea of flying cars in 2015 really happened because right now he wanted his car to fly and take him home.

While stuck and waiting in the traffic jam, Law take out the paper and pen inside his pocket. He then started to write a letter for Luffy in a messed up writing because he's really panicking.

After writing the letter, still stuck in a traffic jam, Adrenaline rushed in Law and he impulsively takes off the car keys from the engine keyhole. After doing so, he got out of his car and locked it before he started to run fast.

He's panting but he didn't stop running. He needs to deliver the letter to Luffy. It's only a way for Luffy to live. Luffy needs to live.

Law's eyes felt so warm and his sight suddenly blurred while running. He's really selfish and because of that, Luffy is going to die. He won't let him die and if he's not too late, the only wish that Law wants is that for the Heavens to hear him out. That Luffy can't die. Luffy was not the one who's supposed to die that day. The bullet that killed Luffy is not for him. It's not intended for Luffy but the bullet is for Law. He was the one who's supposed to die that day. Not Luffy. It was his fault… and if the only way to save Luffy is for Law to die? Law accept it whole fucking heartedly.

Please Luffy-ya, don't go in there… don't… just please… don't… I beg you…
