text: Luffy woke up and was annoyed to see Law hadn't come to bed yet. He'd said they were having the alliance talk early, though, so Law needed to sleep! Shaking his head he slid on his sandals and headed out onto the deck.
  
  Luffy found him leaning against the rail, looking down at his submarine. "Hey, Traffy. You okay?"
  
  Law glanced at him, "Fine, Luffy-ya. Just…can't sleep."
  
  "Well try harder. We've got a new alliance to talk about tomorrow," Luffy said.
  
  He didn't like having to pester Law into things so much but Law clearly wasn't going to do these things for himself right now so as his friend and partner Luffy was going to do it for him. "What's bothering you?"
  
  Law didn't answer him right away, but then, "You know, I'm not sure what Cora-san would think."
  
  "Of what?" Luffy asked, leaning against him.
  
  "How things went," Law said. "I did stop Doflamingo but…maybe not for good. I didn't kill him. But I don't know how Cora-san would have felt if I did that, either."
  
  "I think he'd be proud of you either way." It was pretty obvious from what Luffy knew that Cora-san had loved Law, probably like a dad or something. Luffy didn't have much comparison for dads but it sounded right, like Nami's mom sounded like…or his grandpa when he wasn't being a jerk. Cora-san had wanted Law to live and be free and Law was living and being free, so Cora-san would be proud, no mater what.
  
  "You know, it can be really annoying how easy you see all this as," Law said, smirking.
  
  "Someone's got to prod you into caring. I won't make Bepo do it all the time, not on my ship!" Luffy said.
  
  "Bepo needs all his energy for navigating. Might steer us into a trench otherwise," Law agreed, standing and stretching. "All right, Luffy-ya, I'll play along and try to get some sleep, happy?
  
  "Yeah," Luffy said, hugging him. "Thanks, Traffy."
  
  "So, how are you going to try to get me to go to sleep this time?"
  
  "Eh, let's go with the usual and wrestle."
  
  "Luffy-ya, I said I couldn't sleep, not that I wasn't tired. I don't want to wrestle."
  
  "Okay, wanna read one of your medical books out loud and try to explain what the heck it's saying to me?"
  
  "That will make me frustrated, not sleepy."
  
  "I can talk about food then! You're a weirdo who thinks that's boring."
  
  Law nodded, tossing an arm over Luffy's shoulders, "Sounds like that might work."
  
  "Great! So, okay, when I was little Dadan used to make this really neat rice dish!"
  
  "Mm-hm."
  
  "And it was always a little different since she always had the people who worked for her get stuff out of the woods and they never always got the same amounts of everything, so you know, never exactly the same because of that-"
