Chapter 94 (1/2)
Grandline, New World, ???
While Azul and Robin indulged themselves in relaxation and discovered the joys of their budding relationship the world didn't stop in its steps to wait for the two.
On an island, located in the New World, two rather dangerous groups of people met. One of the two was the ambitious type but he understood it well to hide his goals and dreams behind a curtain of lies and deceit.
The other one was of a similar disposition though he was a lot more cold blooded when it came down to it, possessing none of the other mans dreamer like qualities.
Due to the two groups mentalities and character traits it came as no surprise that the atmosphere at the place of meeting contained no jolly and good natured streaks, even though both parties leaders wore their trademark grins, looking every bit the vicious men that they were.
Sitting opoosite each other the two groups stared with various expressions at their counterparts. The tense athmosphere was soon broken though by none other then the host of the meeting whose grin widened in glee.
”Hehehehe, who would have thought that you would actually have the balls to come to me of all people despite your knowledge of my affiliation. And yet, I can't help but feel a sense of joy at the prospects this meeting may yet bring to fruition hehehehehehe!” The captain of the hosting group said while reclining on the couch he was sitting on with his arms lazily thrown over the back of said couch, dangling besides him as if they had no bones inside them.
Despite the mans lax attitude and rather funny outfit, considering he wore a pink flamingo like jacket and pink glasses to boot, none of the guests would dare to piss the man off without good reason as he carried an air of ruthlessness with him that was rarely seen on the grandline.
”Sense of joy ehh? I didn't take you for type to prefer to only observe where the world will go in the future Doflamingo, or did you throw away your kings disposition after having taken a glimpse at the true monsters this world has to offer? ZEHAHAHAHA!” The other parties captain asked with a vicious smirk adorning his ever grinning face after which thundering laughter erupted from his throat.
His words caused a few of the crew members to grit their teeth at the mocking words directed at their captain and were about to step forward and start an argument only to be stopped in their tracks by the small chuckling of their Captain that soon turned into amused laughter. Though some of his more prominent crew members knew that it was not a laughter of happiness which was easily identifiable by the Veins that began to bulge on Doflamingos forhead bringing a slight sheen of sweat to his subordinates backs.
”Enough with the bullshitting. Tell me Blackbeard, what is it that you want?” Doflamingo spoke, abruptly cutting of the laughter that had filled the room only moments ago.
”Straight to the point I see...” Blackbeard answered curtly, bringing contemplative silence to the room as the two captains eyed each other with calculating gazes though it was hard to pinpoint that fact in Doflamingos case due to him wearing his trademark glasses. After a minute of silence Blackbeard once more spoke his mind, seemingly completely off track though.
