He might not remember him at all. But Law knew Luffy.
"I like Luffy...", He said.
"Me too", the girl beside him said as well.
He knew that time he has to give up. He knew that this girl will take care of Luffy.
"I see..."
Graduation day in Highschool
"Congratulations, Law!", Rosinante hugged him as he just smiled.
"Is that your boy, Rosinante?", Garp walk towards them. "Why not we shape you in the headquarters, no?", The old man lean to Law.
But Law only look at the kid the same grade as him besides Garp. "I'm Luffy!", He introduced.
Yet, Law only nod.
"Are we done here, now?", Doflamingo entered the scene. "And no, Law won't go to your headquarters", he said to Garp.
"You're in the foul mood", Rosinante said and look at him.
Doflamingo did not answer, "and who's that?", His brother asked again pointing at the kid Doflamingo has been dragging.
"Law's playmate, what else?", He drop him.
"Penguin?", Law look at the boy.
"H-hey...law...", Penguin chuckle. "You see, I...well..."
"He is coming with us", Doflamingo just said.

"Why did you have to go with me?", Law look at Penguin.
As the other just take a spoonful of pudding baby 5 gave him. "You're not even taking the same course. Why Business?"
"Do you want to be like Doflamingo?"
"If I want to be like him, I would've chosen politics", Peng. "I also considered taking nursing, like Shachi now"
"But, I have somewhere to be. I need to be in there", he said.
Law don't get what the other meant, "and here I thought you will be a surgeon like me"
***
Years have gone by, Law look at his friend who was on the phone. Walking towards him, when Doflamingo walk towards Penguin and took the phone.
In those years, Penguin and Doflamingo has this unnatural relationship. He ask about this to Rosinante yet the other has no idea as well.
When they are over he heard Peng said, "she sounds sad"
Doflamingo only replied, "I bet her friends left her again"
***
After that night, Penguin and Law went to their separate ways.
Penguin became an exclusive student of Doflamingo, while he started his own hospital, with Shachi as the head nurse.
"You really became a big shot now", Shachi hugged Penguin. "And here I thought we will be best nurses!"
"Hey! I am part of the hospital too, but not the nurse. I'm an actual investor", Penguin said.
"Still", Shachi pursed his lips.
"Are you going to going to the party?", Penguin look at Law. "It's been a while since we went to one"
"I am just going since I was personally invited by a good old friend", Law look at the invitation.
"What about you?", His eyes linger on Penguin. "I have to, Doflamingo is invited so is Crocodile"
"Those two, why don't they just get married?", Shachi.
