Law went back to the house where they are staying. Although Sanji deviates from the path when he sees some girls and disappear quickly. Law does nothing but shakes his head. He can't do anything about it. Well, Sanji did contribute to this mission, so Law cut him off some slack this time.

He had just came back from the hospital. Kiyo, Sumi and Naho appreciates his helps, although they were really scared of him. He looks very scary if looked closely. He never smiles. Not to mention, every time he treats his patient, he never allowed anyone to bother him. Same applies when he attached Uzui's arm back.

Its been a month, but the Gonpachiro gang haven't wake up from yet. They're still too weak. Should I double those guys training? He thought to himself. Those guys are strong, but not strong enough. They struggled so much just to kill the lowest Upper Rank. Eh, he'll think about it next time. 

Most of them had scattered everywhere. Sanji is busy flirting again, Doflamingo is gone off to manage some problems in his turf, Zoro had been missing for four months, Brook....is sipping tea in the courtyard. In the end, the one that's been managing all of things are Law himself. He cursed all those idiots to just die...except Brook.

To be honest, he's suspicious of Doflamingo's activity. He never agreed to take in those Upper Ranks. He did so as he doesn't have much choice. He could interrogate those guys for intel, so he had nothing to lose. He never really wanted to cooperate with Doflamingo at the first place.

Doflamingo had been a busy man. That's what makes him suspicious. Law is sure that he's up to no good. Probably planning his grand scheme somewhere. He really wanted to kill Doflamingo here and then to avenge Corazon. He had never accepted him. His heart is filled with hatred.

Zoro? Well he's been missing for four months, but he appeared out of thin air five days ago. Law did ask Zoro what did he do that he went missing for four months. But Zoro didn't answer. He looks different. He looked as if he'd seen something that weren't supposed to be seen. But if Zoro do not want to talk about it, he respect Zoro's choices.

At their house, Law enters and went straight to the backyard. Brook is casually sipping kelp tea while admiring the Zen garden on their backyard. The house that Ubuyashiki gave them are quite luxurious even though its not too big. 

*Creak..*

"Oh, you're back. How's the meeting?" Brook put the cup of tea aside as he greeted Law. Law just shakes his head and shrugs.

"Did something happen, Trafalgar-san?" Brook tilted his head. He is confused with Law's response. 

"Nothing much. Its just some reports about the mission back in the Entertainment District." Law insisted. Nothing out of ordinary occured.

"I see. I wish I could've gone there too. You guys should have asked me!" Brook is mad that they didn't ask him to go. He would've gone willingly. He wanted to see some woman's panties!

"Did something else happen other than the meeting?" Brook asked Law.

"Well, Uzui said that he's retiring. He is the most injured out of all of us back in the mission. After we "defeat" the Upper Rank Six, he's thinking to live his life away from all of this with his wives." Law explains how Uzui requested for retirement. His request definitely would be accepted by Ubuyashiki after all that happens.

"By the way, where's Roronoa-ya?" Law looked around. He didn't see Zoro anywhere.

"Zoro-san? He's in his room. He's sleeping like a log inside his room. 

"He could still sleep? He's been missing for four months! Then he appeared out of nowhere, saying that he'd lost! " Law complained. 

"Well, I remember that Zenitsu-san had said that Zoro had been gone searching for his the master of Thunder Breathing. He probably spend his time training all this four months." Brook defended Zoro. Its normal for him to sleep like a log. Zoro must be tired.

"Tch, fine. If you say so." Law sat next to Brook. He take up on Brook's words. Brook aren't someone that will lie. He trusted Brook.

"Kelp tea?" Brook offered him a tea. Law nodded. Brook handed him a cup of tea. Law took a light sip. 

"Its good, right?" In Law's perspective, its not that bad or that good. It's okay. He took another sip.

"Also, Ubuyashiki invited us for a celebratory feast this night. To congratulates our victory against the Upper Rank. It is also doubles as Uzui's retirement celebration." Law explained that  Ubuyashiki invited them.

"I see...then, we should go! Its been a while since we have a feast like this! Should I tell this to the others?" Brook suggested.

"Its supposed to be a yakiniku party of some sort. Since its yakiniku, booze maybe served." Law explained in detail.

"Well, I'm going to be informing everyone about this later. I'm going to tell Zoro later. He's still aslee-

*Bam!*

"Who just said....booze?!" Zoro kicked the door to his room down, which shocks Brook but not Law. He's just like Luffy when he hears meat.

"Wait! You're awake? I thought you were sleeping!" Brook was shocked. He thought that Zoro is sleeping.

"Doesn't matter! I heard someone said booze!!" Zoro looked everywhere.

"Tonight, there's a celebratory feast going on. Ubuyashiki invited us." Law explains to Zoro. Zoro understand. Whenever there's a feast, booze will be there.

"I got it, I got it. Tonight, huh?" Zoro nodded. He went back to his room and took his swords with him.

"Where are you going?" Law ask him where he's going with all of his swords. It's too early for them to hunt down demons.

"Train." Zoro went off to the training grounds. In matter of seconds, he was nowhere to be seen. Well, that's understandable. Having a feast after grueling work is the best after all.

"Well, he's gone." Law satated.

"Brook, can you do me a favor?" Law switched to Brook. Brook raised his eyebrows. (Skull joke! He doesn't have any eyebrows!)

"What is it, Law-san." Brook would like to enquire more about it.

"Can you inform Doflamingo about this?" Law did not want to inform Doflamingo himself. It's sickening to him. Brook understand. Both of them had quite the history.

"Well, leave it to me!" Brook gave Law a thumbs-up.
