[There's noise the minute the feed starts, but it's not coming from the sullen man sitting front and center, rather from the out of focus commotion behind him. There's a lot of people talking at once, but a certain straw-hatted pirate can be heard over all the others,
"Hwah! There's so much meat!!"
"Luffy, don't eat it all by yourself!"

The look on Law's face suggests that he is annoyed yet tiredly resigned to the level of ambient noise around him. More importantly, his face is clearly visible since his hat is noteably absent.]

If anyone happens to see my hat around, please return it to me. It-
["Nami-swaaaaaan! You can sleep in my bed toni-" cut short by the distinct sound of someone being smacked in the face.]
... I'll attach a picture. Let me know if you've seen it.

[He ends the feed with a sigh. Attached is a picture of the desert with Law's signature furry white hat rolling by like a tumbleweed.

(OOC: Feel free to assume a sighting of Law's hat, the more people who have seen it but not grabbed it, the funnier.)]

[ Oh no. Mistakes were made. ]

Is that so...? [ A nervous laugh. ] I'm honored to meet someone in an alliance with them, then.

[kikoku]

[Yeah, you be nervous.]

Are you another one he's asked to join his crew...?
[The wording wouldn't be quite right for that though...]

It's not really an honor to meet a pirate, generally.

[backthatup]

I am. I honestly am very pleased -- [ Record scratch. Moving on. ]

Well, you're someone who they trust and I believe that speaks well of you. [ Ahaha-- ]

[kikoku]

[Well, Law's either met or overheard both Hanzo and McCree at this point and neither of them sound like some sort of robot. Which means this is a third new member. Someone stop Monkey D. Luffy, the new commander of Overwatch.]

Did he ask you because you're some sort of robot?
[Flatly changing the subject because he refuses to acknowledge that the Straw Hats trust him with anything.]

[backthatup]

Well...

He said that there was someone that was a cyborg on his ship, too. [ Important distinction there, thanks. ] But I think that he just likes me...

[kikoku]

He likes people who are interesting to him while also being genuinely good people. He has some sort of sixth sense for the latter.

[Law you accidentally just outed yourself as being good.]

In any case, yes, their shipwright is a cyborg. And he's incredibly... loud, so I'm already considering you an improvement.

[backthatup]

[ Ah. He caught that. So this person is good. Is this what they call "tsundere?" ]

Consider me an upgrade, then. [ A light joke. ]

[kikoku]

[It sure is.]

Probably. [A small noise that could arguably be considered a laugh.] I suppose I'll have to see you in action to know for sure.

[backthatup]

[ So many tsunderes that Luffy has on his crew. Well, tbf, Genji just met Sanji and now Law. ]

Has that other man impressed you so much? Beyond having a loud mouth? [ At least, that is how he's taking it. ]

[kikoku]

[He'll remind you he's not part of that dumb crew!!! Because he is in fact a tsundere.]

He's.... capable. [He grudgingly admits that.] All of the straw hats are, though most of them are also annoying.

[backthatup]

[ A compliment to them. He's wearing Law down!! ]

Then, I shall hope to be considered just as capable... since I am at least seen as less annoying.

[kikoku]

[Just don't point it out or he'll immediately retract it.]

For now. You get along with Luffy-ya, so that doesn't exactly speak well for your chances of remaining that way.

[backthatup]

Our captain is one with a pure heart and pure sight.

So I take back a bit of what I said just now, then. [ A small salute. ] If I am thought to be as annoying as him, I shall consider myself lucky.

[kikoku]

[Well he can't argue that first part. Luffy is pretty pure.]

I didn't say he was annoying. I said the rest of his crew was annoying. Those aren't the same thing.
[Semantics with Trafalgar Law is never a place you want to get into.]

[backthatup]

[ What was that sound? A soft laugh? Never. ]

I see. Then, perhaps, I need not worry in becoming annoying but as pure of sight as my captain. Please make sure that is how things continue, too, sir.

[kikoku]

No, right now you're definitely on the right track to becoming annoying like the other eight of them.
[Law is sassy, but he doesn't respond particularly well to being sassed. The irony is probably lost on him, or if it isn't he willfully ignores it.]

[backthatup]

Unfortunate for me, sir.

[kikoku]

Also, stop that, stop calling me sir. It's Law.
[I mean, until the inevitable happens and you start calling him Torao like the rest of the straw hats.]

[backthatup]

Law, then.

[ A soft laugh. ] I'm Genji.

[kikoku]

[Another person that sounds like they're from Wano... Obviously they're not, probably some other worlds equivalent but still... Why.]

... Just don't cause any problems.
[HMPH.]

[backthatup]

[ this man is so cute. someone help him. ]

I will do my best, Law. And if you are in need, please think of me.

[kikoku]

[LITERALLY FIGHT HIM WITH BOTH HANDS GENJI, HE REJECTS THAT LABEL.]

If I need anything, I'll ask my own crew.
[That's a lie, he won't, he'll try to shoulder it all himself because he's a stubborn idiot.]

[backthatup]

[ MEET ME IN THE PIT. ]

Well, you can always ask me as a teammate, too.

[kikoku]

[Ugh. UGH!!! He can't even properly argue with that because they are in fact on the same team.]

... I have the same bounty as Luffy-ya. I can take care of myself just fine.
[He is a Strong and Dangerous pirate.]

[backthatup]

It is only a just in case situation.
