[The feed shows Law leaning on a table, in a much better mood than he was in his last address to the network. If you pay attention, you might notice Olivia puttering around in the background amidst an assortment of boxes.]

Now that we're all back in Oska with our powers restored, I'd like to formally offer my services as a doctor and surgeon to the team. Especially those of you with what you think are incurable diseases.
[A pause as he turns his head to answer a question from Olivia, inaudible from this far away.]
Just sort them by expiration date, if it's past the date then throw it out.

More importantly... [Law rests his chin on his hand as he turns back to the feed, inadvertently showing off his fingers tattooed with the letters "DEAT".... Given his username you can guess what letter is on the thumb. It's all the more sinister with that lazy smirk on his face. Literally nothing about him says "legitimate doctor."] For all you heroic and daring types out there, be a little more reckless, won't you? We've got to give Olivia-ya here some hands on practice.

[ This time you can hear Olivia yelp "Mr. Law!" In the background, but before she can protest further, he ends the feed.]

[He's just not bothering to correct people anymore. If the Straw Hats keep showing up like they are, everyone's going to be calling him "Torao" in a month anyway.]

You realize that a superiority complex isn't a medical condition that I can treat, right?
[Frankly he's assuming the hemorrhoids aren't even real, so he's ignoring that.]

[naturallywavy]

_{[ Hemorrhoids are real. They're very real, friend. ]}

Ah, no? Sorry, sorry. It's one of those situations where it might be best to put it to rest and flush it.
_{[ Gilgamesh isn't a dying goldfish in a tank, but he'd like to think so with some of the arguments they've had. ]}

What about Keats-san? His hair is too perfect and it pisses me off. Please do something for him, it might not be along before his hair finally gives way and he goes bald. Do you think it's right for him to be called baldy the rest of his life by innocent grade students at his age? Think of him.

_{[ ok well.. he's just giving Law a list of he doesn't get a long with people and flaws they have. ]}

[kikoku]

[No of course they are, just not these specific ones.]

... You want me, a medical doctor, to "do something" about a man's hair being "too perfect."

[JUST.... PLEASE REALIZE HOW RIDICULOUS YOU SOUND?]
Do you have any actual medical issues to bring to my attention or just more jokes?

[naturallywavy]

_{[ He jabs a finger up his nose, picking out to clear one of his nostrils out. ]}

Isn't that every medical doctor's concern? Don't you think a man's hair being too perfect is the cause of something more life threatening? If all of his purity goes into his hair, that must mean the rest of his body is trash. He could die any second.

_{[ Gintoki isn't serious at all. Except he does think Keats is trash. He's just jealous of people with beautiful hair. ]}

[naturallywavy]

_{[ but then: ]}

There's a guy here who, well. I dunno his whole story, but he's got somethin' kinda incurable from my understanding where he gets really violent. I'm guessing like H*lk, but I've never really seen it happen myself.
_{[ He knows when to not drag jokes out too long. After all, his series is emotional whiplash. ]}

You should help him.
_{[ you're probably already talking to him. ]}

[kikoku]

[Again, Law's literally just going to ignore the hair nonsense. Mainly because this other thing sounds like it's maybe possibly actually something for him to look into, despite this man's bizarre way of explaining it.]

I can look into it. What is his name?

[naturallywavy]

Death-san.

_{[ Wait. Death-san and Death-sensei. Would you look at that— Gintoki is bumping into a lot of "death" lately. Gintoki scratches the side of his cheek, expression looking dull. ]}

Well. It's something like that. Kurosaki? King Kai? Koltira?
_{[ don't be a shit, Gin. You know his name. ]}

[kikoku]

[Frowning, but taking a shot in the dark after a moment.]

I spoke with someone who used "Deathweaver" as their username. If you mean him, he's already refused my help.

[naturallywavy]

'Course he'll refuse your help. That's what people do when they feel hopeless— when they feel like nobody can help them. They close themselves off.

What you have to do is let him not give up hope first.
Then maybe he will have a change of heart.

[kikoku]

.... Do you realize you're speaking nonsense or are you soft in the head.

If he's already hopeless how am I going to keep him from giving up hope.

[naturallywavy]

Ah. Are you sure? Or have are you just not tried hard enough to help somebody like that believe that there's always a possibility for something better?

It isn't easy to do. Just talking to him won't do it.
_{[ He thinks maybe, though, through a lot of circumstances and encouragement from others, maybe Death-san would open himself up even more and accept any kind of help for his problem. Gintoki knows how long it can take— he's somebody who shuts people out too. ]}

People wear different sized shackles on themselves.
Sometimes you gotta find the right key that fits.

_{[ He doesn't know Koltira well at all, but he would like to see his suffering come to an end. ]}
