Cursed idea for when you are finally through your first conference:
In Rev!Kite AU, Kite and Sakazuki wind up having a one-night stand in a bar when he fails to recognize her identity (due to having no bounty posters for her girl-form yet), and Kite fails to recognize Sakazuki with the mustache and out of uniform.
Both of them thought they were hooking up with a look-alike of the person the other actually is (they knew the other looked similar, but didn’t realize THATS WHO IT WAS), until the next morning when both their allies came to pick them up and the shitty motel they’d slept in became a battle ground.
Despite the “relationship” being a one night stand, Big News Morgan’s had a field day with this discovery, so now EVERYONE knows and thus everyone makes jokes about Kite’s bad taste in men (if they’re revolutionaries or pirates). Or Sakazuki’s terrible taste in partners (if they’re marines)
Thank you for this! I need all the cursed ideas to replenish my energy!!! You can imagine me in a similar state as Luffy post Gear 5 right now X'D Please feed me...!
I was also thinking that the only ways that a Rev!Kite might hook up with Sakazuki is if they're in a dingy bar, flickering candle lights, clouds of cigar smoke, maybe alcohol has already flown liberally and them not recognizing who the other is, just as you're suggesting here!
Or - because I enjoy being evil - the other option is a fuck or die situation.
But let's think about this one, because it is a public scandal if you involve Morgans! Maybe they don't even have to be picked up by other people, they may just quietly slip away into the early morning, never to think about it again. If it wasn't for some photographer who managed to snap a picture because they might have been tailing either of the two, trying to get some information for Morgans. And this is Big News!! The Fleet Admiral having a secret love affair with a Revolutionary!! (When it was just a one-night stand.)
And this might also lead to some very uncomfortable conversations in the HQ office! What is Brannew supposed to do? Kite is a revolutionary, that makes her a criminal which warrants a bounty! But if she is Sakazuki's secret lover, then can they do that??! Of course Sakazuki would barge in and say that they should assign her a bounty already! All criminals must die!! (How tragic, the officers at HQ would think, but of course Sakazuki's got to uphold a system of justice that is absolute, so now he has to kill the love of his life! What dedication to the World Government! Justice above all else!! <- what Aramaki would probably say.)
I don't know how it would be received in the RA at first because Morgans has a habit of spinning a story every which way it pleases him. I think Kite's pretty straight forward about it though - she had no idea who he was and maybe gives overly detailed information to get people off her case. And then there's of course Sabo, Koala and co who might make sure nobody starts doubting Kite's dedication to the RA. And this does more to hurt Sakazuki's reputation than it does trust in the RA. What remains is people teasing her about her bad taste in men and you know what? That's fair.
(Of course, other than Dragon, Crocodile finds this rather amusing.)
