"Clack" The light illuminated the room, the house returned to its lifeless days. Looking at the apron placed neatly on the table, Corazon remembered Law's figure in the morning. He held his head in sorrow, he didn't run after Law then, and now he regretted it for whom to see? Such pathetic.

18 years, a period of time that made him doubt whether he really understood his feelings. Corazon and Law met and spent time together for less than three years, and they had been apart for more than 18 years. "We just met again but why did you let Law go like that?" He knew what Law's feelings were for him, but were his feelings for Law the same? "What is that kid to me?" For many years following his and Law's journey, he always assumed that their relationship was like "father and son", that they were family. But deep inside, he selfishly wanted Law to rely only on him, he didn't want Law to find happiness in someone else, not him. He didn't even realize the scary change in himself. He selfishly wished that their relationship would forever be like that day, but in his heart, there was always another ambition burning. That thought terrified him, he was afraid he would hurt Law again. What was the core that builds the bond between him and Law? Why couldn't he answer?

"Rumble"
-Trafalgar, are you in there?- As soon as he opened the door, Corazon's collar was grabbed by Kid.- Hey, Commander guy! Why did you let Trafalgar return to Osaka, is that crazy guy going to face that bastard alone?
-Stop making noise, Roccy, we have to go to Osaka now, Law is in danger.

On the night train back to Osaka, Law looked at his reflection in the window. Although he had recovered his memories, his body had suffered a great deal of psychological impact, causing him to shiver involuntarily every time he remembered. Law's father in this life was a violent man. It seemed that from the beginning, Law had always been a thorn in his eyes. Such unbelievable was that he was a man who loved his wife very much. He chose to place all the blame on Law for the death of the wife he loved. "Dad, stop, don't hit me, please, daddddd!" Since his gentle mother died in a traffic accident five years ago, his father became dependent on alcohol, causing him to often suffer beatings. Fortunately, before he tried to use a knife to assault him, the neighbors quickly reported the crime and put the alcoholic father behind bars. For that reason, Law grew up in a society home.

Three years have passed and his father had been released from prison and continues to cause trouble at the society home which was in charge by Sister Kojima. Sister Kojima always took care of Law when he was taken to the home. Contrary to her worries after a series of terrifying events, Law still showed himself to be a smart and decisive child in every situation. "Law, you are such a strong child." Remembering what sister once said, Law laughed. At that time, even though he couldn't remember Corazon, his image always appeared when he was most desperate. "I'm not strong at all sister, thanks to that person's strong heart, I am who I am today." Thanks to Corazon, Law was no longer held back by the chains of hatred. To Law, Corazon was like a guardian angel, protecting and supporting him in this gloomy world. Surely, nothing would defeat him when he had Corazon in his side.

In front of Z society home, Osaka.
Sister Kojima hugged Law who had just returned. It was still early but her attitude was very urgent, she kept advising Law to go inside quickly. The things that alcoholics had in common was that they all got drunk and then started causing trouble everywhere, Law's father was no exception. Looking at him, his whole body was covered in mud, his beard was stubbled, and he was still holding the bottle of sake and gulping it down. Looking at the old man's miserable appearance, Law's face tightened. Unfortunately, his blood family in this world treated him less than scum. He made people like Law who lost their family in a previous life despise him. Law would never be lenient with him anymore, some scum like him just didn't deserve it.

"Brrrrrz" A few streets away from the society home. Corazon jumped out of the car and hurriedly ran. Kid and Law's words were like a slow-motion tape, playing in his head, "In this world, our bodies are no longer as strong as before, just one stab of the knife and he's gone.", "I want to be Cora-san's special person above them all", "Thanks to you, he was able to survive through those dark days", "He almost killed Trafalgar 5 years ago!", "Hey, Commander guys! Why did you let Trafalgar return to Osaka?".
-Law, I'm sorry, why did I only realize when you left? You were always the most important person to me!

When he saw Law's right in front of him, he hugged him tightly, causing them both to fall to the ground. However, he still protected him and did not let him show any vulnerability. He didn't care what danger he faced, for him, Law's safety was more important. No matter how unfair this life was to Law, he will fight to the end to bring back a peaceful sky for him.
-Co..Cora-san? Hey, get out of the way! What are you doing here? - Law's eyes suddenly widened as he looked towards his father in this life. "Gun?"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang" a long series of sounds made Law confused as to what was going on. A warm liquid was falling on his face, his mind suddenly went blank.
-Roccy, you've been shot! Law! Quickly give him first aid, let me go get the First aid Kit.- Ace quickly appeared, then laid Corazon down next to him. His shoulder and arm were shot by bullets.
- Damn Fire Fist, what kind of driving you attempt? - After Kid and two policemen controlled the criminal, he and Ace brought a first aid box and two bottles of strong alcohol. Why did you stay there? What does that do? Do you want him to bleed to death?
-Shut up, you act like I'm going to let Cora-san die!

Things also became smoother, Law was angry at Ace and Kid for daring to reveal his return to Osaka, the two idiots ignored his words, and even got angry at him for scolding them. Originally, he intended to finish dealing with that damn old man and then go back to pursuing Corazon. His pirate blood would not allow him to give up the treasure just because he was rejected.
Law also handed over the video recording from the security camera at the society home and the recording from the button he had pinned in advance. From the very beginning, he provoked that wretched old man to force him to commit assault. Of course, Law returned to the society home that night because he received the words from a little girl in the home.

Ace's father, Thatch, gave Ace a good lecture about taking the car to Osaka at night. Thatch was also the guardian authorized by Corazon's parents in Japan. After hearing the news, Corazon's parents decided to return and sued the criminal to the end. With their power, it was difficult for Law's father to escape prison this time.

Law didn't even bother to care, what he cared about now was Corazon, a few hours had passed after the surgery, Corazon would wake up soon and he wanted to be the first person he saw when he woke up. Thanks to Law taking out two bullets first, Corazon's situation was not very serious, although he was later given a lecture by several doctors for arbitrarily performing dangerous surgery. In fact, at that time he was very scared, afraid of seeing Corazon suffer. The moment the two met Vergo was imprinted in his mind, making him scared. Fortunately, Corazon, Kid and Ace pulled him out of that haunting nightmare.

Corazon had difficulty opening his eyes. In times of pain like this, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette to ease the pain. Seeing the figure sitting next to him, he asked with difficulty. - Who are you? - It took a while for his eyes to finally get used to the light. - Oi, Law, you're not hurt, right?
-Don't make people misunderstand like that!- Law shouted angrily, after all there were only the two of them in the whole room. But Law's next words were mumbled in his mouth. - Even so, at that time I was still very happy that Cora-san had woken up.
-Law, I went from Kansai to Osaka overnight, and throughout the trip, I always wondered what was the decisive core in our relationship. D's will? We don't even have that in this world. Pity or compassion? A long time ago, you became strong enough to make this man admire you. Freedom? But both you kid and I will lose it if we stay together. In the end, it was selfishness, I want to selfishly keep you kid for myself, so that you would always be safe and happy from what I did. The main thing that connects me and you kid is simply selfishness, just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted with myself. But Law, I'm sorry for making you sad, sorry for not chasing you at that time. When you said you wanted to be my special person, I apologized for not answering right away, because in my heart for a long time, you were the most important person. Will you accept this selfishness and come to me?

Law's eyes were filled with happiness, but he still tried to hide his blushing face. Gently glanced at Corazon and then used his left hand to cover his mouth. This was a sign of agreement that the two of them had established in the past.

Corazon patted Law's head with his uninjured arm. He didn't like the feeling of being shot at all, but thinking back, protecting Law was more important. "Bang" hearing the noise, Law forcefully pushed him away. Kid, Ace and Thatch appeared with a small fruit basket.
-Roccy, I'm here!- Ace shouted, then was hit hard on the head by Thatch, his father.
-Aki, keep yourself together, this is a hospital.

Corazon laughed cheerfully, his life these days seemed a lot noisier and more bustling than before, and he wasn't bothered by that at all. Holding Law's cool hand, then placing a light kiss on it, he chuckled and looked forward to what the future held for them.
