"Can someone explain to me what the hell is going on here," Sengoku shouted as he entered the room where the monthly meeting with the Shichibukai would be held.
The commotion that had been heard from outside stopped suddenly, Sengoku saw how a small black-haired boy with freckles had stopped in front of him, causing some little ones behind him to stumble one after the other.
-Ace, Sabo, Luffy, and Bonney go to the corner table- Vice Admiral Garp spoke, pointing to a low rectangular table where other children were drawing.
Garp looked at the children who were pouting and stomping around throwing a tantrum, Sengoku looked at the large hall, all the Shichibukai were present, but none of them seemed disturbed by the kindergarten that the hall seemed to have become.
Sengoku looked at Garp waiting for the answer, the vice admiral walked through the room and stood behind the first shichibukai's chair.
-As you know, this bastard - Garp pointing to Sir Crocodile - is my son-in-law and my grandchildren - pointing to the back table - he had no one to take care of them so he brought them.
"Your old bastard," Crocodile growled without seeing it.
Garp moved to the next shichibukai the strongest swordsman of that era, Mihawk had a pink-haired girl on his lap sleeping. "The girl has a cold, so I cut them," the vice admiral pointed to the girl and then to a green-haired boy who was talking to Luffy.
-Wife at work- Garp pointed to Kuma -What were you? - The vice admiral asked the punk.
-He ate a devil fruit and I must watch him -Gecko Moria said with a blonde child on his lap who was playing with a stuffed lion.
-Yes, yes that- Garp passed his hand across his forehead as he continued to go around the round table for the next one -this is incredible- the man protested as he stood behind Jinbe -The same with my son-in-law, no one trustworthy. - Garp looked at the blue-tailed merman boy floating in a bubble donut - I didn't even know he had a son - the son of the sea scratched the back of his neck.
"Well," Jinbe blushed, "Fukaboshi is a good boy, and he was curious," was the only thing he said while looking at the blue tail under the table where the other children were.
Garp just shook his head and continued, then he laughed out loud, the vice admiral massaged the side of his head as severe pain was beginning and the meeting had not yet started.
"Fufu fufu, a Little Bird told me that he was going to see a play date and I brought mine" Doflamingo laughed with one of his hands outstretched, making his rope lift the toys that one of the children had brought.
Sengoku glared at the pink bird and focused his gaze on where the children were. Below the table, in addition to little Fukaboshi, there was Law with a Sora doll, speaking enthusiastically to the merman who was listening very attentively.
-This was not planned, you idiot bird- Crocodile spoke to him with irritation -just a ridiculously good coincidence-.
Sengoku wanted to go greet his grandson, but he couldn't, not while Donflamingo was present. He sat up and looked to his left side which had the young Empress, he raised an eyebrow.
-And you? - Boa turned to look at him and frowned at him.
-Me What? - The woman, the only one in the room, questioned with disdain.
-Which one is yours? -.
The woman looked upset until the compression came, she put a hand on her face while blushing.
-I...no, I don't have children- Boa spoke softly.
-Ah- Suddenly Sengoku felt his clothes being pulled, he looked towards where the movement was coming from, Luffy, Garp's grandson, was looking at him with his big brown eyes.
-His name is Rio -Luffy picked up an animal that he had in his arms- My uncle Cobra gave it to me for my birthday- The boy smiled, Sengoku was a little disturbed to say something, in his face a Bananawani baby was staring at him until suddenly the reptile stuck out its tongue and put it to one of its eyes. It's a banana that a crocodile is growing.
"That's a dangerous thing ..." he was interrupted by Ace.
-Luffy, don't bother the old man-
Sengoku looked at the children as they walked away, then at the sea knight Crocodile, who looked back at him with an arrogant smile, challenging him to say something to them. The old fleet admiral was seriously considering whether this meeting was important. Then I saw the papers, he sighed in frustration.
-Well, let's start... today we received reports that...-.
There was a crash and childish screams, Bonney was grabbing Law's wrist keeping him high out of the shorter one's reach.
"Give me Sora," Law shouted at the pink-haired girl.
-Now, Law, you must share- Doflamingo had stood up from the table to go where his nephew was.
-But it's my doll- 7-year-old Law pouted, crossing his little hands, Donflamingo passed his bespectacled gaze to Bonney, this made the girl stop making fun of the little one.
"Bonney, dear, can you return the doll to Law?" Donflamingo spoke with a soft and kind voice to the 10-year-old girl.
-I'm sorry- the girl apologized, lowering the toy. Law grabbed it and wiped away the small tears that had accumulated.
"Play nice," said the blonde, leaving the children.
-Wow Flamingo, I didn't know you were so good with children- Gecko Moria said.
-I love children- a snort was heard -Oh Crocy, why are you like that to me- Doflamingo pouted at the sandman.
"Screw you," it was said like a growl.
-Aww- the blonde put his hands together while smiling -you love me- he spoke sweetly, Crocodile did not speak, but sent him a murderous look. A fake cough was heard, and all the knights turned their gaze to the Fleet Admiral, who picked up the papers again.
-Well, as the repo was saying…-.
"Mom" was heard loudly.
This time next to Crocodile, he blushed, while looking at his 4-year-old son, Luffy climbed him and then climbed onto the table, he looked with great seriousness and frowned eyebrows, this made the older man raise an eyebrow.
-I'm hungry- Luffy spoke as severely as if what he said was the most important thing in the world, Crocodile raised his hook, facing the boy.
-Monky D. Luffy, you ate 10 minutes ago- Crocodile returned the seriousness as if he were talking to one of his businessmen.
Ace and 8-year-old Sabo were a little nervous because they knew this meeting was important to their mom.
"I'm hungry," he said again, but this time with a pout and making kicked puppy eyes.
"Don't give me that look," the sandman growled, but it was worse, he saw how his son squeezed Rio lightly in his arms, this somehow caused the animal to make the eyes of a kicked puppy, and this surprised the man.
Crocodile took his cigar from his lips, rested his elbows on the table, and linked his hands together, resting his chin on them, he smiled sideways, he knew that his son was a prodigy, that he could make a reptile at his young age already do a command without explicit order was impressive.
-Well, as you have in your folders there are the documents...- Sengoku was left with his mouth open when he saw the knight of the sea, Sir Crocodile, turn into sand dust and disappear through the door -CROCODILE- shouted the grand admiral of the fleet, while the others had been perplexed, and the children in the background were laughing.
No more than 5 minutes passed and since he had left, the sandman had already returned and with him a large piece of meat, he gave it to his son, and he kissed him on the cheek and left.
-Mr. Crocodile that was disrespectful, you know you are meeting …-
-Do you have a son, Fleet Admiral? The crocodile gave the man a dirty look.
They both knew the answer to that question the man knew about Rosinante and played that card whenever he wanted, making the old man angry. Sengoku scowled, throwing daggers in his eyes at the man.
-No, of course not- No one outside of a few people knew about the covert commander.
-Then don't give your opinion about my children- The other shichibukai only watched the exchange in silence, except Doflamingo who laughed and looked at Crocodile with hearty eyes.
-Please no more interruptions- Sengoku spoke more to the children who were in the corner, some saw them, but almost all of them ignored him.
The Buddha took the documents again, and looked over the warriors -Jinbe, please give your report.
-Well, we intercepted a small fleet, the red crab pirates who were going to…- Jinbe remained silent when a loud sneeze and then a puff were heard.
Everyone looked to where the noise had occurred, they saw Gecko Moria laughing and raising something high in his arms.
- Kishishi, look, everyone, he's a lion - the sea knight who dressed like a punk turned the child he previously had on his lap, but now what he looked like was a lion cub. - Kishishi, my baby is a lion - Moria attracted the cub. and he rubbed the little lion's forehead on his cheek.
"Now, Dad, let me," the little lion protested, trying to push the punk away with his furry paws.
- ahh but look at those adorable little legs - Both Moria and Doflamingo who were next to him gave an exaggerated explanation, and - aawww - could be heard .
-This is incredible- Sengoku already had a headache, this day couldn't be worse, but he was wrong when a large jet of cold water suddenly fell on him.
The man stood up and saw Law, Bonney, and the merman running away and the last one flapping in the air, while they laughed. Sengoku looked towards the tutors.
-Jinbe!!- the fleet admiral roared.
"Uh, you're in trouble," the pink bird whispered to the fishman.
- Fukaboshi - called the knight of the sea, saw how his son approached with his head bowed and his arms behind his back - can you explain - Jinbe spoke calmly, he wasn't upset by what happened he was more than amused, these meetings are usually dull and very monotonous.
-Well...- the merman was about to speak when he was placed behind Law.
-Boshi is not to blame- Law had his arm raised as if he wanted to protect the merman.
-Boshi? - Jinbe smiled.
-It's just... I don't get his name... well- Law blushed, and Doflamingo could hear an aww.
-But it wasn't Boshi's fault... I didn't think he had powers, so I challenged him- Law spoke firmly.
-Well, everything was an accident without malice- Jinbe smiled and then turned his gaze to the fleet admiral, who could already see a vein appearing on his forehead -But you must apologize-
Law and Fukaboshi approached the admiral and apologized in a very low voice. This made Sengoku's anger completely disappear, as he was going to get upset over a small prank. The Buddha accepted the apology and asked for a few minutes to go change. After the fleet admiral left, the same commotion from the beginning returned.
-Hey- Doflamingo was leaning forward with one hand cupping the side of his mouth -hey, Crocy- Crocodile glared at the pink bird. -Crocy~~- the blonde man sang while irritation rose on the sandman's face -Crocy- he called again - Croc ... ahuh - Doflamingo complained, raising one of his legs.
-Stop bothering my mom, you idiot bird- It was Ace who had crushed the blonde's calf, and this caused a laugh from Crocodile.
-But how bad you are little Ace- Doflamingo approached the boy with freckles, pouting - Wouldn't you like a new dad- the blonde smiled kindly.
-But I have a dad- Ace seemed confused.
-But that Dragon is already old - He laughed mockingly; he heard a snort coming from the other side of the table. Ace looked at the blonde arrogantly now, an exact reflection of the sandman.
-You're right about something- Ace had his hand closed, but he stuck out his index finger to point at the blonde.
-Of course, I'll be better for…-
-The old Dragon is no longer our dad- The freckled man smiled deeply, making the blonde feel uncomfortable.
-Ace- could be heard coming from Crocodile, with his voice leaving a note of discomfort. But little Ace didn't pay attention.
-My dad is here- with that Ace stuck out his tongue and ran away, leaving Doflamingo with his mouth open and his face turning to the sandman and then passing him to the rest of the members who were there, but he couldn't see anything outside. than normal. Doflamingo was about to stand when the door was opened again.
"Well, let's finish this once and for all," Sengoku grumbled as he sat down. "Well, as I was saying, the report has a series of data..."
Doflamingo stopped paying attention to focus on Crocodile, the man looked bored, looking at the papers in front of him, nothing that gave away that he had his lover here. If a sailor left, no, that couldn't be, but who, the blonde looked around the table again, everyone looked equally bored.
Doflamingo continued looking at the sandman until he saw him. The girl who was on Mihawk's lap pulled the arm of Crocodile's thick coat, making him lean closer to the girl. The pink-haired woman spoke in his ear and what was said, caused the man's face to transform into a worry. Crocodile picked up the girl and held her to his chest.
-I'm sorry Fleet Admiral, but we must go- Crocodile had gotten up and with the Mihawk. Sengoku stopped what he was saying.
-I beg your pardon, but what? -The good guy had his eyebrows furrowed again.
- My little princess has a fever so we have to go - with this Crocodile settled the pink-haired girl better in his arms.
They saw how Mihawk had already looked for the other children, they ran after the sandman, and Sengoku looked at the swordsman.
-Mihawk, where are you going, this meeting is not over yet- the goth stopped at the door, Ace, Sabo, Luffy with his Bananawani and Zoro had already left, who had Luffy's hand intertwined.
-You heard my husband, we're leaving- with that she closed the door.
Sengoku looked around the table, everyone was surprised since both men were reserved, but this was already crazy, then he looked at the vice admiral, raising a questioning eyebrow.
"Well... that's news," the old man laughed vaguely.
