And boy did Doflamingo try to guess.

But he always was so annoying and grated your nerves when he asked so many questions. About how they looked? How did you know that you know that he knows them? Was it a woman or man? All these questions, you couldn't help but have enough at the stupid guessing game you initiated with the spoiled man.

You'd snap at him in anger and impatience at him, and only got worse when he brought you closer to him in front of everyone else. To which when you released yourself, you stood by Mihawk as you stuck your tongue out at him quite childishly.

The man who always grinned seemed to always bring the childish brat within you.

You stood by Mihawk with smiles as you talked to him, about how he was, and who was his last opponent or challenger. With him always replying and answering, however short it was. Shorter then usual because they weren't alone and some crew member seemed to hide behind barrels, giggle and stare at them.

They were weirdos.

But...

God, you're getting attached.

You mustn't.

When the crew said good morning, you'd wave at them back. Only for the cook, Zuko, to know you liked to drink (fav. beverage)  before anything in the morning. Immediately handing it to you with a smile. And you'd give a small grateful nod in return.

You mustn't get attached.

When you'd say that you'll have next watch, only for Jet to beat you to it with a knowing grin.

"Sleep, you need it." He would say over your protests of denial, only for him to repeat it once more, gently.

And you would slowly start to protest less and less, going into the captain's quarters(without having any warlord there) to at least have some sleep.

You mustn't.

When you were staring at the world map, you'd notice red dots and blue pins on them. One day, you managed to catch Hak to ask about it.

"Ah, we've been trying to track Silver of the Molten Metal." The navigator answered, a proud smirk on his features.

You widened your eyes.

"Do you know where he is?"

"He moves around a lot, slippery one that pirate." Hak said with a small sigh, brushing his light brown hair back. "We're constantly asking on each island on his whereabouts though, so it's helped."

You looked at how many blue and red pins there were at the map, showing the hard work that the Silver Judgement pirates are going through to locate your father.

"Why?" You moved your eyes towards the ship's navigator. "Why are you searching for him?"

Hak smiled, his brown bangs covering his green eyes slightly.

"For you, Captain. You want to meet him...right?" He tentatively asked, hesitant that you'll tell him to not call you captain again.

You only let out a smile,however, as your soft gaze stared at the map, a small thank you leaving your lips.

You can't.

You watched as they sang to your favorite song Bink's Sake, standing besides Mihawk on your left and a sitting Doflamingo on top of a cannon a few feet away from you on your right.

"Yo ho ho ho~ Yo ho ho ho~ Yo ho ho ho~
Yo ho ho ho~, Yo ho ho ho~ Yo ho ho ho~
Yo ho ho ho~~, Binkusu No Sake Wo~
Todoke Ni Yuku Yo~(Going to deliver Bink's Sake!)"

Mihawk glanced at you.

"Why don't you join, Silver Blood? It's your favorite song is it not?"

You looked at him and glanced back at the laughing and smiling crew as they drank. Singing the beautiful lyrics that was sung to you when you were just a child by your mother. You felt a pull, and glanced at Doflamingo. Who only smirked and motioned with his head, as the crew called out.

"Come on (Y/N)!"

So right when the next 'YoHoHo YoHoHoHo!', you sang. Your awkwardness quickly leaving your face as you smiled brightly with closed eyes as you sang your heart out.

The memory of your humming mother doing it for you, as she laid in bed while you sat by her with a soft smile.

You gave a grin at the two Warlords and a thumbs up. Mihawk hiding his face with his hat in response, and Doflamingo licking his lips. Which made you cringe.

You didn't need to see that.

You can't...

They were nearing the place. And every night, you couldn't help but think about Jet's stubbornness. The way he looked when he grinned with confidence. How Hak seemed to correctly guess on the weather and know the course like he was there before, his green eyes spotting a fish miles away. How Korra was a proud girl of her designs, and she treasured them. And she loves to party. With Wes being the quieter one of the shipwrights, but the small smiles he would make as he tinkered with his own creation was one with gentleness. How Taka was so blunt, but so caring as a doctor. The way she would see your bags under your eyes, but would say nothing but that you should get some sleep. The way Zuko seemed to know every food you loved, especially (fav. meat/favorite food if vegan). Because who can go wrong with (fav. meat)?! How he'd know it was time for snack time, and you'd love a virgin daiquiri when it was hot.

You sat on the figurehead of the dragon, in thought with your swords Karasu and Black Heavens Judgement on you as you looked to the horizon. You let out a sigh. You felt a presence behind you and you glanced, seeing a grinning Doflamingo.

"You're getting attached aren't you?"

You turned your head around and said nothing, only letting out another sigh as you put your hand up to your face. Doflamingo then said something that surprised you.

"Nothing's wrong with getting a family, little marine."

Your eyes widened, not expecting such a statement from the flamingo obsessed man. And he said it...with care? Sadness? What sort of past does this man have?

"The offer is still up you know, for you to join me in Dressrosa." The tall blond man reminded you.

You openly ignored his statement.

"It's best if I leave them alone, they'll die if they're with me."

You heard a strong scoff from the man, causing you to look up at him.

"They'll die with or without you. What's the point in trying to protect them from the captain? If the captain can protect them the best."

You bit your lip in thought. But then released a small smile as you glanced at the tall man.

"I didn't know you had such views." You observed, only for Doflamingo-for once-to say nothing in reply.

"Thank you." You said quietly, as you turned back around.

****Kuroi ten'nosabaki🗡🎇 💀(Black Heaven's Judgement): your black with a sheen of silver buster sword that's carrie son your back. Think of it like Cloud's sword from Final Fantasy or Zabuza's sword from Naruto.

(Your sword is a mix of Cloud's and Zabuza's, there is no hole in your sword, but there IS a half moon cut in it. But the half moon cut near the top of the sword.)

**Karasu(Raven): your noticeably smaller and total black sword that is on your hip. You can imagine whatever sword you want, but perhaps the Chokuto sword will fit. Like Sasuke's sword from Naruto Shippuden.
