@buraiikan requested a little treat 🍨

The two of them still had to find their footing. Despite their turbulent start, Sanji still respected their helmsman. Jinbe was confident, strong, and a much-needed voice of reason to quell their impulsive captain. There were many times that he wanted to initiate conversation but found that he lacked the words to do so. Maybe the avenue of amends was not paved by words but by action. The only action he could think to take was to prepare something. So . . . in addition to a pot of freshly brewed hojicha, the cook offered a plate of something sweet. He assumed that their helmsman did not have a mighty sweet tooth, so he settled on fried glutinous rice balls filled with sweet red bean paste: Chapssal. "Ah-" the cigarette shifted to the corner of his mouth as he presented the offering, "For—" he looked away and snagged at the collar of his blouse. Merde. Why was this so damn hard? "For you," croaked the cook, "please enjoy."

Sanji making your muse a treat! 2/5

@buraiikan can already see the pout beginning to form on the saw's face. arms folded over his chest , head hung , dorsal fin protruding from a mane of coarse , black hair. even after all these years , arlong's reaction to being scolded reminds the same : indignance.

❛ the human had it comin' this time , i had a good reason. ❜ tension in his voice , expression hidden underneath the brim of his hat. ❛ ... you never take my side on things. ❜ muttered beneath his breath.

❛ you look like you've got something to say. ❜ to Otohime asked by @buraiikan

The queen smiled softly as she was questioned, tilting her head in acknowledgment of the new Warlord. "Merely a worry; I understand your reasoning for joining this group. However...I fear your disappointment if it doesn't help."

Joining the Warlords didn't guarantee the safety of the island, and she worried Jinbe would hold himself responsible if the slaver attacks didn't end

@buraiikan asked: "Are you really okay?" 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐓𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧 : 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐌𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 (Still Accepting!)

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm ok! I'm always ok. Don't I look ok?" Ikkaku asked, wondering what gave it away. She was definitely not ok. Physically she was no more battered and bruised than anyone else, but mentally and emotionally she was utterly exhausted. The Raid had been a success, but it was a close call. Seeing Kid and Law take on Big Mom had been a terrifying thing to witness, and she wished there had been more she could have contributed.

Sure, she logically knew there was nothing much she or anyone else besides the two captains could have done to take on Big Mom, but she still felt weak.

Sighing, she plopped down onto a crate and cradled her head in her hands. "Fine. I'm not ok. My captain's so damn strong, but Big Mom...gods, I don't think I've ever been so afraid for his life. Hell, I was even scared for Kid! I know they're both tough as hell, but I just wish I could have done anything to help, you know? If I could have even taken a single blow on their behalf, they could have ended the battle sooner. I know it's stupid, but it's so hard, knowing that being at a battle ultimately made no difference."

@buraiikan -plotted starter-

They were whale hunters that had spotted her tail when she had come up to the surface for some more supplies to help with a project she was working on. It was a fierce battle as they threw metal netting and harpoons into her flesh and around her fins to help prevent her from getting away. However, when they found out the whale was actually a mermaid it only made them more determined to capture her as they could sell her at a larger profit then any whale parts. The female was not much of a fighter, but she knew how to do her best to dodge and everything. The metal netting was cutting into her skin causing her to wail out in pain, but she wasted no time in using her strength in her tail to topple the ship over. The hunters were equipped to fight whales, not giant mermaids that could fight back, so it was not that hard to flip the ship over, then break the wooden post that the netting was attached to. Sedna whimpered from the pain as she was sinking down towards the ocean floor. Pulling out the harpoons were causing large gashes to form with large amounts of blood spilling in the water. She feared that it would attract large predators such as Sea King Beasts, even though the netting was no longer on the ship, she could not untangle herself. 

Landing on the ocean bottom, she cried and called out for help calling for whale sharks nearby in the area. What the female needed to do was find a pod that would be able to help protect her and help her swim as she clearly would not be able to move on her own until her wounds healed. Everything was bleeding badly and it was only a matter of time to see what might come to her first, friends or a predator. Sedna wept as she continued to attempt to untangle the netting that had already cut through her flesh and was slowly cutting through her muscle almost to the bone. It was around her fluke which was her main part of her tail. Her vision was growing dark as the blood loss was slowly getting to her. However, a response to her cry came from a pod of nearby killer whales. Looking up and around the surrounding area she was trying to find them as she called out to them again asking them to hurry. Unknowingly other creatures had either heard her call or smelled her blood as they were on their way as well. Someone that was following the pod along with a Sea King Beast that was nearby taking a nap until the large amount of blood spilled disbursed its sleep waking it up hungry.

“ we’re a good team, you know. “ - For Sanji

the comment catches him a bit off-guard , if he's being honest- idle chat wasn't often something he indulged in right after a battle ( save for perhaps nami or robin ) , the adrenaline often leading to fights more than not . he's out of breath , barely hears it if he's being honest , but . . .

his relationship with jinbe has always been complicated . he'd despised him on nami's behalf , gotten snippy over his higher bounty . . . a number of things , really . but if he's honest , jinbe is a joy to be around . everyone on the crew was , though sanji wasn't always one to express such in words . still- he trusted the other through and through .

so , the comment makes him smile , chuckling softly around the cigarette before nodding . jinbe was nakama now , had been for quite a while . . . and he still felt grateful to him and everyone else for what had happened on whole cake .

so really ? jinbe was right . sanji had never felt more at home , and he was part of that.

❝ yeah , we do , don't we ? ❞

@buraiikan ; liked for a one liner.

❛ well? how do i look? ❜

          【 CONTINUED. 】                     @buraiikan

          The way in which Jimbei suggests he leaves the room while Kid works on his busted laptop can only remind him of a visitor at a hospital; like he is a worried parent fussing in the waiting area while his sick child is being operated on.      Well, the comparison wasn't entirely without parallel; he had managed to get the tech infected with a virus, after all.

     ❝ Nah, you ain't leavin' me to do this alone. Least ya could do is fetch me a drink or somethin'; we're gonna be here a while. ❞

He doesn't so much as glance towards the older man as he speaks, his amber eyes continuously illuminated by the artificial light from a screen displaying a collage of open applications and loading screens.

     ❝ What'd ya do to fuck it up this bad?           ...Hot singles in yer area, was it? ❞

There's an edge of taunting jest in his tone, a slight smirk at the corners of his painted lips, but at the same time, he is kind of assuming that this was the cause regardless how Jimbei responds. It really isn't any of Kid's business if he had been browsing any adult websites, but if that hypothetically was the case, he wouldn't be terribly surprised. Whatever got his rocks off, he supposed.
