"What's that sigh for?" A Surgeon asked his subordinate, making his way towards him.

"Oh, nothing much ado... Just feel really happy that you were able to help those guys out. You're amazing, Captain. Heh."

Penguin responded through a short laugh of sheer joy.

Leaning against a wall behind him, Law lit up a cigarette and smiled at the younger boy, thanking him for the encouraging words he dedicated to him.

"Boss, uh.. Have you seen Shachi, lately?"

"Surely he must've been around here a few minutes ago. Though, now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen him ever since he stuck around the Operation Room with Blackfoot-ya."

Law responded, turning his head around to see if Shachi was nearby.

"I'm gonna go look for-"

"CAPTAIN! CAP... CAPTAIN..."

Penguin and Law spun around to find Shachi running towards them, speaking from afar before his voice was heard by Law.

"What? Hey, repeat that again."

"Huu... Huuu.. Off... Computer turned.. Off.. Sorry, let me catch my breath for a minute."

His ginger haired crew mate heavily breathed out, gasping for air.

Gathering what few words the man was able to let out, the Captain was intrigued and in desperate search of further details from him.

"The computer is going crazy!" He explained, after a few seconds.

"Bepo!! Did you install Uta's game?! I told you it would give the computer a virus, and I need it to function well for the navigation system!"

Law scolded his Polar Bear, earning a yelp from him, a few feet away.

"S-SORRY, CAPTAIN! I couldn't help myself!!"

He cried out in a sorrowful tone of voice, feeling guilty.

"No no, it wasn't Bepo! This... This is something you hafta see for yourself, in order to believe it.  Please, follow me."

His friend kindly spoke, in an almost urgent manner.

Sensing how alert he was, the Captain accompanied Shachi to the Polar Tang's motherboard, where he heard a strange noise growing louder, the closer he was to reaching the area the younger man was taking him to.

Arriving at the scene with a relaxed facial expression, showcasing little to no worry at first, Law remained quiet while trying to figure out what Shachi would tell him next.

But not long afterwards, he came to the conclusion that something had gone terribly wrong when he heard an unnerving sound emitting from his computer.

"What the hell is this? Turn it off!"

He covered his left ear and pushed down on one of the many buttons on his computer to power it off.

But much to his surprise... It wouldn't turn off.

"It won't stop, it's been going at it for almost ten minutes now. I wanted to tell you about this sooner, but I tried working something out with it, first. And nothing."

Shachi admitted, covering his own ears.

"The sound's driving me insane!"

The man then screeched, feeling weak to his knees as the noise grew stronger to the point of damaging the sound system within the computer and part of Law and Shachi's eardrums as well.
