One Piece Law Light Novel

While cutting the liver with a scalpel, I suture the wound in the stomach, stop the bleeding from an artery in the leg, remove a rib that has pierced a lung, wipe the blood that has flowed kidney, check that the transfusion is going well and put the other kidney in bad shape in its place.

There you go... we are well! The bleeding has all stopped and he is breathing normally. He's on the right track, he's on the right track!

Except that the very moment I said to myself …

Ouch!

A powerful headache assails me.

It is no ordinary pain. It hurts so much ... Looks like someone is hitting me with an anvil right in the head. No matter how much I practice, I imagine that is the price to pay for having deployed all my powers at once!

It sucks severe.

I feel like I'm going to pass out. I feel that my legs are failing me!

Scalpel in hand, I fall on my knees to the ground.

Law!Everything is fine, don't ... worry …

Yes everything is fine.

They have no reason to worry. I will rid them of all possible sources of concern. My "Room" and "Tact" powers don't wear off. Wolf always talks about "give and take". Nothing is given without return, that seems to be his principle. But today, all of this has nothing to do with it.

I just listen to my conscience, stupidly obey the impulse that has formed in my chest.

In front of me, I have a man on the verge of death, an old man who took me under his wing and took care of me. So all I can do now is try to cure him as best I can. I must remain standing, as a doctor!

And expect nothing in return. The only wish not to let Wolf die is enough to keep me going.

Survive, I beg you.

Despite the dizziness, I still find the strength to pray. I don't know if God exists, but if he does, I would like him only today to be on my side, to be my partner. I wish it with all my heart. I've seen enough people die that I cared about, I don't want that to happen anymore!

Above all, do not fall.

Don't falter.

Hold on for a little longer.

Don't die... Mr. Junk!

I'm almost done with the stitches. I only have her stomach left to sew up. With my hand completely drained of its strength, I grabbed a needle through which I passed a thread and sewn up this belly which I opened with the blows of a scalpel. The blood flowing through the limbs and chest also completely stopped.

Operation completed.

Huh... huh...

Thumbtack, my right knee is letting go, I'm going to fall backwards. Fortunately, my comrades are there to hold me back.

Law!Everything's fine. It's over, I just waver a little.Say, he's gonna be okay, huh ?!I do not know. The operation went smoothly, but he had already lost a lot of blood. Everything now relies on its vital force.

We then take four chairs and we sit next to the old man. It is out of the question to fall asleep. His condition can suddenly change for good or bad, I don't know. Without warning, I take a look at the side. I see Bepo, Shachi and Penguin who do everything to show nothing of their great fatigue and scrutinize Wolf's face relentlessly. None of them complains or laments.

They assure, my little young people. They are good crew members.

Three hours, four hours, five hours pass ... Only time passes.

Despite the late hour we normally sleep already, no one seems to be sleepy.

Don't you better get some rest, Law? We take care of monitoring him, and we wake you up at the slightest problem, Bepo assures me.Are you kidding me? As if the chief could snooze quietly while his men did all the work for him. No way.

No one said a word anymore. However, strangely, I have a firm belief that we all think about the same thing as much as we are.

„Survive."„Survive."„Survive."

Ten hours have now passed since I started the operation. The sun is shining through the window and the birds singing can be heard.

It is morning.

The light filtering through the cracks in the curtain spreads over Wolf's face. And as if to accompany this renewal …

Mmh... It is morning...

The old man wakes up.

He is alive?He speaks?He is saved? Shachi and the others mutter in a balanced voice.Woooooooh!!!

Our respective cries are superimposed on each other. Even I, to my surprise, cheer him with all my might.

Awesome! Well done, Law! The old man has risen! Penguin yells with a broad smile.

Still he would have had to be dead to be able to come back to life, but hey.

Well, that's it ... Me, who thought I was waking up in paradise, I find myself facing a bunch of kids who live in tumb ... That must mean that I'm alive.Um, you're doing a damn badass. I was planning on getting into the funeral preparations, but actually no.Law ... You saved my life.All the credit does not come back to me. With Bepo, Shachi and Penguin, we all worked hand in hand. If even one of them was missing, I wouldn't have been able to complete the operation.If you say so...

Wolf immediately fell asleep after exchanging a few words. What could be more normal with all the strength he burned in battle? As a precaution, however, I take his pulse and check the stitches, nothing is wrong.

I saved a life.

An intense feeling of satisfaction never before felt permeates every nook and cranny of my body.

***

Immediately after Wolf wakes up, Penguin heads into town to find the doctor. The latter uses the tools he brought with him to examine the old man.

I am not seeing any internal bleeding and his pulse is normal. For the rest, it will just be necessary to watch for possible complications. Law, did you treat him yourself?Yes.You conducted a perfect operation. I knew it from the start, but you're proving to me here that you have a talent for genius.Thanks, that's nice...

It's too much for me, I don't know where to put myself. It must be said that in my life, I never used to be congratulated. According to the doctor, it will take about two months for Wolf to fully recover.

I would have liked to have stayed at home throughout this period in order to monitor its progress, but unfortunately this is not possible.

Although my boss has allowed me to be away for as long as necessary, I still decide to return to help in the office after a week of observation of the patient.

However, we cannot all be absent at the same time, it would be too risky. So we decide to adjust our respective schedules so that there is always someone by Wolf's bedside.

It's okay, I'm healed! You can go to work without worrying about my pear!

As expected, Wolf immediately finds fault with the situation, but we ignore his complaints. If no one was present with him in case any post-shock symptoms appeared, there really wouldn't be much to laugh about. Thus, while watching over Wolf, we continue as best we can to carry out all the daily tasks.
