Fair enough. Thank you all the same. Even more, actually.
[Seriously, it's good to hear Law wanted to on his own. It cements that even though he's taken the label of "pirate" for himself, it doesn't make him cruel or heartless or bent on general destruction like many of them seem to be.]
I had evidence he was going to try for it eventually. It sounds like a lot of what he was just beginning to plan out when I was there are things he managed to actually attempt. He would have kept aiming for more power if you hadn't stopped him when you did. Really, I just...
[Really, he needs to stop talking. He saved Law's life, at the cost of his own, his career, his mission. Law paid the world back in greater ways than he could have guessed. It was all worth it, wasn't it? If it had to be that way, then at least it was worth doing.]
Just, thanks. I'm a little overwhelmed, hearing everything you've done, but I'm proud, too. You've become a really incredible person.
[And he will not cry again, even as he smiles down at Law and searches for the words he wants to say. These are not tears and his eyeliner is only running because it already was earlier. Okay??]
