"Tora-o!" He says, without missing a beat, grin as wide as anything. Talking about friends (even if that consideration is very one-sided) always made for good, wholesome conversation.

"Trafalgar Law. Heart Pirates." Surgeon of Death, one of his fellows among The Worst Generation. You know, someone who was definitely not friend-shaped to anyone but Luffy.
