@phoenixbxrn liked for a one-liner!

"Marco-san... This situation... Is truly awkward to me, could you please not tell anybody about this? I promise, this is a one-time thing, I don't usually play country, i-it's a favor I owe."

in hindsight, realising that she had outgrown the space she longed for was really just the first step out of several more complex steps. some pudding can figure out if she actually puts her mind on, others still remain in the fog she can't quite see clearly yet. one step at a time, have patience, this too shall pass.

@phoenixbxrn : we do the best we can with what we've got.

reassuring words don't fill the disappointment she's feeling as much as pudding wishes, every failed attempt is still followed by the faint voice of her mother reminding that she's not doing enough, she's not doing it right. pudding can't help but wonder if this is her legacy - a freedom that still tastes like the iron of the shackles that have kept her locked for the past decades.

"i'm not sure about what's the best i can do with these, sir." gaze on her hands, there is so much pudding has yet to learn about her abilities - so much knowledge that has been kept away from her and doesn't know how to get back. it doesn't work well with her impatient nature, but this too is just another thing she'll have to learn to live with. "my teacher wasn't exactly good natured."

@phoenixbxrn asked: “they know we're coming.”

❝ ha HA! Awesome!! ❞ The Straw Hat captain laughs out loud, bearing a wild and excited grin. One hand clenches tightly together into a fist at his side, barely restraining a spring-loaded punch.

❝ We'll just say hi at the front door then! Sneaking around is lame anyway. ❞

QUESTIONING MINDS PROMPTS. @phoenixbxrn

Blue grey eyes--sharp and alert--watched the other man from where Drake leaned upon a tree surveying the state of the items he had gathered; one leather clad had was clutching at his side--the same size that had been blown through by a laser just two years ago.

This time it was a bullet, a bullet tipped with seastone which had meant that at least one of his enemies had known that the bullet would slow him down. At this point, even his own name was infamous and his deeds were spread fairly well these days.

What he hadn't expected, however, was the man just a few meters away, staring back at him as his right hand continued to clutch at his side. This was nothing--Drake had survived worse and come away completely healed--but the deciding factor was the fact that he'd had a trusted physician then.

This time around, he was on his own ... or perhaps not, but this was risky, too.

All things considered, he should have packed the things by now and made his way back to his hideaway, but the Phoenix had followed, so now the situation had changed. He had plans and deadlines to stick to, so this was as much as wrench as there ever was one.

"Should I?" Drake countered, managing to keep his voice even as he continued to stare Marco down.

The mermaid had come a long way to make it to Fishmen island, as she was born in the New World, but after her parents were killed, they told her to seek our Fishmen island so she would never be alone. However, she continued her passion collecting human artifacts to work on restoring them. After years, she had finally made it to Fishmen island where she had come across other merfolk, from mermaids to fishmen who were very welcoming, but she never noticed another whale shark merfolk. She enjoyed venturing outside of the air bubble that was made for land dwellers for when they came to visit. She had learned that this island was under the protection of the Whitebeard pirates who came to visit a lot. When Sedna arrived, a pod of whale sharks that had bonded with her decided to stick around the region, so she enjoyed swimming with them before coming back. The large mermaid had just recently been gone for a few weeks and was finally coming back to the island, when she noticed a white whale looking pirate ship she had never seen before. It must have been the Whitebeard Pirates coming to visit which made her curious.

However, the young adult sharks wanted to continue playing and swimming a little while longer, so she chuckled and swam alongside them. They were dancing gracefully and it was a show that all the merfolks were watching from inside of the air bubble as some of them even got the pirate’s attention during the performance. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a blonde male who was staring, as she came close to the bubble during a turn, so she waved and smiled before turning around with a backflip. Once the dance had some to an end, the whale sharks went off as the mermaid came back inside to the entrance of the air bubble. As she came inside, she dried off and was given her special tube that would allow her to move inside even though there was no water.

Sedna was happy with the haul she had gotten from ship wreckage and things from the ocean floor which was in her bag attached to her hip. She was happily humming as she was floating along heading back to her shelter until she heard laughter. Slowing down, she noticed some humans, which must have been pirates, gathered around near the base of the white whale ship drinking and laughing. Moving closer, the pirates noticed her then they all shouted waving at her to come over. Her natural curiosity had gotten the better of her as she came over. “Hello, this is the first time we are seeing you here, beautiful.” “That was some performance you did outside.” “You got everyone’s attention didn’t you.” Giving a polite smile, she blushed slightly and was thanking them, until her eyes fell on the blonde from before. “Ah, it’s you again…I was wondering how you make those blue flames!” Sedna was excited as she lowered her head closer to Marco with excitement as she had noticed out of the corner of her eyes during the dance, he had been wielding blue flames which she was curious about. After a couple moments, she backed up a bit and chuckled softly, “Oh forgive my manners. My name is Sedna. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.”

"You look like you could use some company."

"A little bit of an understatement," Hinoka murmured with a dry laugh, flicking ash from her cigarette. She looked haggard, hair slightly disheveled from an obviously long shift. "I know I look like shit," She chuckled again, taking a drag, "I feel like shit." A slow exhale with a trail of smoke. "Hope your day's been better than mine?"

The auction was big and popular as they were selling pirates that were captured by the World Government. Sometimes Marines would leave pirates behind to sell as slaves for the world noblemen to purchase. The female came as she was looking for a new pet to show off as it was becoming popular among the female Celestial Dragons to have a pet that was a devil fruit user zoan type. She wanted some rare and exotic as nothing had caught her eye until it came to the final item for the evening. It was a former pirate that was well known, but she was mostly interested in his devilfruit abilities.

Cosima smiled as she finally found the perfect pet to take home with her after weeks of searching. Standing up the woman left her section as she wanted to buy him in cash and gloat in front of the other Celestial Dragons that came. She deserved a dramatic moment and wanted to leave an impress on her Canary. As the bids were being placed she waited in the back of the room in the darkness so he would not be able to see her. When an older Celestial Dragon bit who was known to have an interest in handsome men all the lesser nobles stopped bidding. At least they knew better to go against a god unless you were of an even higher status.

The auctioneer was counting down for any final bids, as the old man giggled with glee as he licked his lips believing he had won the crown jewel of the whole auction. “100 billion berries.” Cosima’s voice echoed throughout the entire hall as she started to walk down the steps. Glancing around to see who would dare outbid him, the old man was fuming shouting, “Who dares to defy a god!” Her purple eyes narrowed as she stood over from where he was sitting until it dawned on him who it was “The Saint Figarland family. If you know better then you shall keep that mouth of yours shut.” Her voice was cold and venomous before she turned to keep walking towards the stage with a smile on her face as the old man looked away angry as he couldn’t go against her.

Walking to the stage she wrapped her fingers around the male’s face as she inspected his injuries. Clicking her tongue with disapproval she glanced at the auctioneer and glared. “I want my canary patched up with the best medical care before I leave in two hours. Plus no branding his skin I want him how he is. If you leave any more marks on him I will make sure you suffer the same a hundred fold.” Standing up the female left to go to the study to wait for the order to be completed.

❝ i promise im not normally that useless. i'm actually usually very capable. but- wait! i need to find the rest of my crew! where the hell did they go this time?! ❞
