I remember the day when the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock inquired about you. An unknown painful feeling stabs me in my chest. I couldn't help but wonder what's your relationship with her.

When I finally deemed that you're going to be okay I left you to rest and check if there's any commotion on my deck when suddenly the Pirate Empress were on my deck talking to Shachi, Penguin and Bepo, inquiring about you. I told them that you were fine and all and she calmed down.

I still remember the pointed glare she gave me as she inspect me from head to toe, sneering at me and a knowing look in her eyes. Instead of being afraid and intimidated I didn't back down on her and I give her my own steely glare.

"I don't like you." She finally told me after the long staring. I raised an eyebrow at that. Jinbei suddenly appeared on my deck. I told him not to move yet but he was worried about you and what will happen if the Marines will know about your state so the Pirate Empress offer her place. Her demeanor change from her usual almighty expression into soft gentle expression as she spoke about Luffy making her feelings to me mutual.

"I don't like you, as well" I said quietly so that the only one who could hear me is me but it seems the Pirate Empress has a keen hearing as she glared at me and I glared back at her.

I remember the day when you finally regained your consciousness. We are all worried about you overdoing things. You wrecked my ship, you overpowered the human pile that were trying to calmed you down but what makes me worried is that you were hurting yourself. When you went to the forest unconsciously Jinbei followed you there and I secretly followed you there. Worried about you.

I watch you behind a tree, making a havoc to the forest and call for Fire-Fist Ace-ya. It was heart breaking to hear your anguish cry it was like a sharp knife stabbing to my chest. It pains me that I couldn't do anything no matter how much I want to approach you and comfort you because it was not my place to do to that. I'm just a nobody who didn't actually know anything about you except for the informations the newspaper provides. I watched Jinbei fight you and makes you realize what matters now that your brother is dead. He makes you realize the most important things now. 

When you finally calm down I decided to return to my ship, there's a heavy feeling on my chest that I couldn't comprehend but instead of thinking what it was I let it go and instead check for the damage you have done to the Polar Tang. Upon arriving the Kuja Pirates were already there, preparing for a banquet because they heard you were finally awake. The Pirate Empress were the most enthusiastic on making everything perfect. When she sense that I was there she turn to me glare and sneered at me before going back to her chore with a love sick expression on her face. I cringed in disgust as I saw how she act like a love sick maiden. Ignoring her I continue my trek to my ship. There I saw Dark King Rayleigh, talking to my crew while the other were patching up the wreckage you made to my ship.

"Miss Trafalgar Law." He greeted upon noticing me. I nodded in acknowledgement.

"What brings you here?" I asked him as I noticed him staring at me. Rayleigh-ya's stare were kind of unnerving me to be honest but I still keep an appearance as the captain.

"What's your plan now?" He asked me back as he drink the sake that probably served to him by my crew. I shrugged not clearly understanding what he means. "I'm going to offer to train Luffy actually." He said instead when I didn't give him my answer. I hummed and thought to myself.

That idea actually enter my mind to train myself as well. From the event that recently happened I realize that I'm still weak. The single mistake that I had made might cause someone's life. I realize that what I have today were not enough to defeat Doflamingo. You make me realized those thing. I'm going to train to be more powerful and as much as I hate having a connection to the World Government I need the position of a Shichibukai to penetrate some place that were not allowed to the regular pirates.

"I need to go now." Rayleigh-ya's deep voice said to me as he stood up and patted my shoulder, whispering,

"Good luck on your journey" before passing me.

With new found determination I ordered my men to set sail. Some groans at my sudden decision but they still obey me.

I hope that if we ever meet again I can be someone that is worthy to be standing by your side.

I remember the day when your name were starting to make a ruckus again after the two years of hiatus. I can finally saw your grinning face on the newspaper.

It was already a year since the Battle of the Best happen. Like I said I decided to train myself, training my haki and studying another ways to use my devil fruit and of course I'm starting the quest to be one of the Shishibukai. Deciding not to enter New World yet I started to collect 100 still beating hearts of the notorious pirates that terrorized the Grand Line

Another year had passed when I finally become a Shichibukai. I can now finally start my plan on defeating Doflamingo but before that I need to make sure that my crew won't get into any danger. They are against of me leaving them even though they still don't know what I will do but they still want to come with me but I can't because this is my personal issue that I need to fix. The night he had killed Cora-san is the night that I promised to take Doflamingo down no matter what it cost..

I was walking to the hallway of the laboratory on the Punk Hazard when I passed two of Ceasar's men talking about something about the newspaper they were holding when I hear them utter your name.

"You two." I called to them, hearing my voice they flinched and turn to look at me.

"Y..yes, Law-san?" The two asked simultaneously. 

"What are you talking about?" I asked them without any beat.

"It's about the Strawhat Pirates. The news said that they are back." I raised my eyebrow at that I signalled my hand to give me the newspaper and the two obliged, giving it to me with a shaky hand, scanning it for a moment. The same feeling of looking at your photograph came back, those annoying skip that my heart makes were there again and the warm feeling that I long forgotten were back again just because of your single photograph.

"You can go now" I dismiss the masked men and the two immediately run away from me.

I decided to head back to my room, closing the door I head to my side table and there took the scissor and started to snip the article that mention you and your photograph adding this piece of information to my growing collection, longing to finally see you again.

It's hard to admit it but the feelings I held for you were growing stronger as the time goes by.
