"So none of us were dismembered, does this mean we're all safe?" Clione pointed two mornings after Law had collected the forms from the group.
"Or Captain hasn't read them yet." Shachi put in.
"Yeah he was out all day yesterday so maybe he didn't get the time." Uni wondered.
"That isn't like him, being lazy-"
"Who's lazy?" They all froze in their places, huddled in the small kitchen and looked at Law with a mix of horror and fear.
"Penguin!" Shachi screamed. "He still hasn't started cleaning a room for Luffy." Penguin gasped putting a hand on his chest, faking hurt.
"You haven't?" Law asked taking a step forward and all the guys backed up a bit, squishing the ones in the very back.
"I did! It's done!" Penguin waved his hands in defense. "Shachi is lying!"
Law just looked at them both then stepped forward again, and again, until he reached the coffee pot and took it out of its place, scaring the shit out of everyone in the process.
"No!" The cook swatted Law's hand and put the coffee back. "Eat proper breakfast."
"And puke that proper breakfast? No."
The cook didn't relent one bit and everyone switched looks of concern because, one, Law had probably just woken up, two, he was grumpy as fuck because he probably just woke up, three, he looked more tired than usual for having just woken up and finally four, Law didn't like being told to do things, especially those he didn't want to, especially when he had just woken up.
"Then no coffee either. Come back when you're hungry for food."
There was a collective shocked gasp from all the guys standing behind the cook. They all waited for Law to jump on the big guy and go absolutely feral without his morning coffee but that didn't happen.
"Fine." Law slumped his shoulders and walked off to the infirmary.
"Crisis averted?" Musta asked freeing himself from the squish-pit.
"For now yeah."
Shachi and Penguin shared a look knowing Law was tired and was probably having continuously bad attacks to make him this compliant. They both discreetly left the kitchen premises and went to the room Luffy was going to have since it was cleaned.
"Ok this is concerning." Penguin pointed.
"I don't think he's even sleeping, more passing out than actual sleep maybe." Shachi sat down on the bed sticking his tongue out to Peng when he made a face complaining about 'I just made the bed.'
"Yeah. And now he has no coffee."
"You think he's gonna down some spirit again?"
"Oh god I hope not." Penguin rushed out of the room with Shachi in tow and the two went to the infirmary ready to yank the bottle of spirit out of Law's hands but they found him squinting his eyes on the computer screen.
"Funny guys!" Luffy greeted and made to get out of bed.
"Stay the fuck there." Law warned from his seat, back turned to Luffy. All three didn't know who Law meant by that so Penguin and Shachi remained frozen but Luffy, who was most likely the person Law told to stay put, jumped out of bed.
"Torao imma go out!" Luffy said grabbing his shoes. Law didn't say anything which got the attention of everyone involved. He seemed focused on whatever he was reading. "Torao?"
