[ Well, that's generous of him. Rinne supposes Law sees the benefits of having a case study, though. The more they know about what Patho-Gen's done to their bodies, the better. Rinne just doesn't want the man to have a hard time... ]
Thanks. That's fine with me. The less Patho-Gen's involved, the better. I'll send you his contact details ASAP.
[ Rinne forwards the contact details of Takasugi Shinsaku. But... Hmm. Reaching out to him isn't that easy. ]
Takasugi-san ain't your ordinary patient, Doc. The government branded him a terrorist when he was alive. He's gonna make things difficult.
Whatever you do, you need to make it look like I didn't ask you to do it. Can you handle that?
Aside from being a doctor, I'm a pirate captain with a bounty of three billion, [ comes law's laconic response. ] I can handle a terrorist.
[ what he can't handle, however, is... ] But if you're asking me not to tell him because he told you not to tell anyone, I really couldn't care less. If using your name gets him to agree to being treated, then I will use it.
[Treating a man like Takasugi is a tall task. Rinne shouldn't be calling just anybody for it. If this doctor wanted to give up on Takasugi, Rinne wouldn't blame him. But Law says something curious, and it's curious enough to make him give in.]
...Kyaha! Fine. Have it your way. It already sounds like I called the right guy.
[If they all have to face something as dull as Takasugi's health, then at least let Law make it interesting.]
I'll leave him to you, Doc. Be careful with him now!
[ whether he's the right guy or not. with a sigh, he imparts some final words: ] Just remember I make no guarantees. I will see him, and try, but that is all I can promise. I'm just a doctor, not a miracle cure.
[ so don't be disappointed if nothing much can be done, he doesn't say, but the thought lingers in the spaces between his words.
and then, finally, ] And my name isn't "doc." It's Trafalgar Law.
