After Dressrosa
Rosinante watched as Doflamingo is handcuffed and put on Smoker's ship. He took a long breath.
-Don't give him a hard time...- Rosinante looked at his friend who was standing next to him.
-... I'll try, but I don't promise anything. If the idiot says something that offends me then I'll break his nose.- Smoker declared with a smile.
-If he really says something that offends you then he deserves that broken nose.- Rosinante said with a giggle.
The two were silent for a while until Smoker spoke again.
-I heard from some pirates that a new warship docked in Dressrosa harbor early this morning and there was a person on it. I vaguely felt that perhaps I should take you to meet him.-
-Who?-
-......- Smoker looked towards Sabo, who greeted her with a radiant smile, and softly pronounced a name.- Sengoku the Buddha.-
-......-
-I know that Sengoku-san did... Quite questionable things two years ago, but... You know very well that he had no other choice. Rosinante... You should go talk to him.-
Rosinante looked up at the sky with a lost look.
He was in a daze for a while, thinking of the Admiral who gently stroked his hair on the shoreline at dusk many, many years ago, took him back to the Navy Headquarters, and treated him like his own son.
Smoker can't tell what he was thinking, but she waited patiently for the blond's response.
-... Tell me where is he...-
++++++++
Law and Lami were patiently waiting for Sengoku and Rosinante to finish talking.
-Brother... What should we do?- Lami asked looking at the tips of her feet.
-We won't do anything... Whatever Cora-san's decision is, I will respect it.- Law crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.- If it is necessary to have to live with him... I will...-
Lami was thoughtful for a few minutes before nodding.
After a long wait, Rosinante approached the two Trafalgars together with Sengoku.
-Cora-san.-
-Guys, Sengoku-san will retire from the Marines soon and will go to live in Foosha together with Garp-san.-
-I see...- Law looked at Sengoku with a blank expression.- Just so you know. I'm not going to call you grandfather, Goat-ya.-
-Come on Law, don't be like that.-
-I will remember what he did for the rest of my life.-
-Oh... Always so spiteful.- Rosinante took Law's hat off and messed up his hair.- I remember you stabbed me once for revenge.-
-I remember that the first time we met you threw me out the window from a high floor.-
-...... Sorry.-
Lami stared at Sengoku in silence. Then she extended her hand.
-Let's try to live together as best we can.-
Sengoku looked at the girl's delicate hand and then took it.
-I will do my best so that you accept me.-
-It will not be an easy path.-
-I've looked for it.-
Lami smiled from ear to ear. She's already starting to like him.
Law snorted, getting nudged by his sister.
++++++++
-So... Do you want to go to Totto Land?- Ace asked with her arms crossed.
-Do you want me to come up with a list of reasons why you shouldn't mess with Big Mom?- Sabo asked with a raised eyebrow.
-See Luffy? It's a bad idea.- Vivi said trying to convince Luffy.
-I don't mind! I'm going to Totto Land even if it's dangerous!- Luffy declares with puffed out cheeks.
-Why do you want to go to Totto Land?- Shachi asked curiously.
-Huh... I don't know. I just want to go!!-
Nami did a face palm hearing Luffy's statement.
-Stop having such crazy ideas!!!- Nami grabbed Luffy by the neck and shook him hard.
-That's impossible. Remember his lineage.- Penguin said with his arms behind his neck.
-...... Damnit! You're fucking right!!-
++++++++
-Please... Please have mercy!!!-
-You betrayed mama... You know what happens when you do that, right?-
-No... No!! I don't want to die!!!
The man crawled across the ground with tears streaming down his face. Suddenly, his heart was pierced by a trident, killing him instantly.
-Not all die because they want to. Most die against his will.-
Charlotte Katakuri "The Black Widow".
A 499 cm tall female with short spiky crimson hair and two symmetrical scars on both sides of her face. She has long legs and sharp crimson eyes, highly arched eyebrows, and prominent lower lashes under each eye.
She wears a huge ragged light scarf that covers her mouth and reaches down to her shoulders. She wears a torn leather vest with "CHARLOTTE" on the back that exposes most of her torso. She wears dark gloves and pants, a belt with a skull-shaped buckle, and spiked boots with spurs. Her body is very defined with a prominent hip and large breasts covered by a strapless leather bra. She has pink tattoos covering the left side of her and wears spiked bracelets on her arms, as well as single spiked knee pads.
Katakuri took out her trident and began to walk out of the building. As she got closer to her ship, a call from Den Den Mushi came to her.
-Do not disturb me.-
Katakuri's subordinate nodded and left to warn the others.
Katakuri entered her room and locked the door. She took the Den Den Mushi out of her pocket and take the call.
-Natsu.-
-Yop! It's been a while, Kata-chan!-
-I'm glad you're still as lively as ever.- Katakuri sat on her bed and leaned against the wall.- How's Zeref?-
-He's fine. Hey Zeref! Kata-chan calls you!-
Katakuri heard footsteps approaching and the Den Den Mushi's appearance changed.
-Hello.-
-Hello, Zeref. I haven't seen you for a long time.-
-Same here. How about your missions?
-Easy. These last few days things have somewhat agitated a bit after Straw Hat Luffy reappeared in the world.-
Zeref chuckled a little.
-It was expected of him, right?-
-To some extent yes.-
The three of them chatted for a long time until it was time for Katakuri's "Merienda" so they had to hang up.
They have been friends for years and this friendship was kept secret from Big Mom.
Things wouldn't end very well if that greedy woman found out about this.
They are Katakuri's only friends and the few who know the secret of her jaw. To this day she still doesn't understand how they knew, but she's stopped wondering.
Only God will know.
