Earlier that morning...

Law thought his mind had already settled and wouldn't attend the party. But now he's having second thoughts again. Damn. He's not like this before, he's always sure when he decides on something but now he doesn't know anymore. He hasn't seen the ball of sunshine for a week now and it feels like every day that passes by is driving him insane.

"Toraooooo! You came!"

His face softened when he saw the girl that's been running on his mind for the rest of the week standing in front of him, looking so gorgeous in her sparkling red dress. The place is dark and the dancing lights are almost making him dizzy but he can clearly see the girl's bright smile.

He couldn't explain the feelings that he'd felt now that he'd seen her standing right in front of him again.

This just feels so right.

Kaya stood up and introduced Law to everyone.

"Everyone, this is Mr. Trafalgar Law, he's Luffy's boyfriend." Kaya teasingly said, chuckling.

Law face palmed by the misleading introduction. Now he's regretting that he didn't clear the misunderstanding Ussop caused a week ago. He was about to say something when a blonde man sitting beside an orange haired girl asked.

"Huh? Boyfriend? Since when?" He's like a strict father who just found out his daughter is getting married.

"Tch. Stop overreacting, Otochan." A green haired man who has a very stern, serious look, with a whiskey on his hand said then smirked.

"What did you say, Marimo?!" The blonde yelled at the green guy with an angry stare.

"Yohohoho. This is something we should celebrate." a bony, tall man who's probably around the same age as Law said. He's trying to calm down the two by interrupting them.

"Ehhhh???? He's Torao?"

They all looked at the shocked Chopper who was pointing directly at Law.

When Law finally saw the familiar cute boy's face sitting beside the orange haired girl he was also surprised.

"What is it Chopper? You know him?" the orange haired girl asked.

Chopper left his seat and walked towards him. When Chopper confirmed that he's really the head surgeon working at his parents hospital he bowed his head and greeted Law formally.

"It's nice meeting you here, Law-sensei."

"There's no need for formalities, Tony-ya." Law replied to Chopper.

Tony Tony Chopper is Doctor Hiriluk and Doctor Kureha's only son. They had him at an old age that's why Chopper is a very spoiled child, but despite the pampered life Chopper received, he still grew as a very kind and respectful person. Law is his role model that's why he respected Law so much above anyone else other than his parents.

Law then turned to everyone.

"I apologize for my late arrival. Some things happened... along the way." Law said, half meant.

The truth is he really struggled deciding if he should attend the party or not and had only settled his mind an hour ago.

He cleared his throat and continued speaking.

"And i just want to clarify that i am not Luffy-ya's boyfriend. I am just merely, her friend."

Everyone eyed him suspiciously like they don't believe what he just said. .

"Oh." Kaya chuckled.

Kaya made him sit at the vacant seat beside Luffy. Later on, Luffy's friends introduce themselves at Law even if he can sense that they really don't like him around.
