Chapter Text
[LAW to NEWGATE]
LAW - Hi Pops, me on Law’s phone again. We made it out of the hospital yoi.
NEWGATE - Are you alright?
LAW - More or less, yes. We’re getting some rest before coming home. It’ll be me, Law, and one of the patients. How’s everyone at home?
NEWGATE - Loguetown is safe for now, travel is being restricted to avoid letting any infection spread to the island. I’m in contact with the authorities to make sure you and your siblings can get in. We’re safe here, but worried about the five of you off the island, you especially. Everyone was asking if I’d heard from you last night. What happened?
LAW - Law’s phone got damaged, that’s all. And I already told the others I’m okay.
NEWGATE - You can’t lie to me, son, even on the phone. What’s wrong?
LAW - I don’t want to worry you Pops
NEWGATE - Talk to me, Marco.
LAW - okay okay
LAW - I just really want to see all of you again
LAW - and for a minute there I didn’t think I’d get the chance
LAW - we made it out okay but we almost didn’t and I’m scared and I miss you pops
NEWGATE - I miss you too, son. But I know you’re going to be okay, you and all of your siblings. You’re all strong and smart and brave and you will make it home alive. I’ll wait for you as long as you need me to.
NEWGATE - No matter what happens, I’m proud to call you my son. Remember that.
LAW - Thanks, Pops.
LAW - I’ll see you soon. I promise.

PENGUIN - did you get out of the hospital in one piece?
LAW - Yeah, yesterday.
SHACHI - ngl i was like positive you died T-T
BEPO - Why would you say that? Have some more faith :(
PENGUIN - love the optimism but it wasn’t unlikely
LAW - Thank you for the vote of confidence, Bepo.
BEPO - =D
LAW - Is Cora alright? He’s not responding to me.
PENGUIN - we visited him last night, he’s ok
SHACHI - yeah but he was freaking out about if you were safe or not
BEPO - I’m at his house now! He fell asleep, I’ll tell him you’re okay when he wakes up =D
BEPO - Unless you want me to wake him up now?
LAW - No, he sleeps like the dead. Thanks though.
BEPO - =D
LAW - I should go but I’ll be in touch, I have a portable charger so as long as I can get into my apartment I’ll be able to keep my phone alive a bit longer.
LAW - Also fuck you Shachi, I told you the rice crackers would come in handy someday.
SHACHI - im glad you wont starve but literally no one needs that many emergency rice crackers even in a zombie apocalypse

DEUCE - Sorry. I’m Deuce, Ace’s roommate.
NEWGATE - Hello. Are you two taking care of yourselves?
DEUCE - Yes sir

NEWGATE - Pops is fine, any friend of my children is a friend of mine. I take it you’re coming to Loguetown with him?
DEUCE - Yes
DEUCE - I’m not really in touch with my family these days, so thank you for offering me a place to stay.
NEWGATE - Of course, I’m looking forward to meeting you. Ace speaks highly of you; I’m glad he has a good friend so far from home.
