Ivankov sighed as he got out of bed. Another year had gone by without much progress. Dragon had been gone for nearly a year now to god-knows-where, and he had put Ivankov in charge of the revoloution. It was pretty upseting. The mircale-worker's birthday, and noone probably even remembered. He trodded to his mirror, and with another, even more dramatic sigh, he transformed himself into a woman. Usually this would have made her a bit more peppy and cheerful, but as she gazed over her (ridiculously voluptuous) curves, she felt nothing but distaste. With no energy or motivation to switch back, she got dressed, and walked out into the office. She sat in the chair at Dragon's desk, not caring for it's hard and sturdy wood that came with such heavy expectations of leadership. She rested her elbow on the arm of the chair, and held her cheek in her hand. Last year had been so much more exciting! They'd gone to Dragon's hometown, helped several refugees escape from a fire, and even picked up a promising new member! But this year…This year had been simply BORING. Though she knew she shouldn't, she wished someone would cause some trouble, just to stir things up. Suddenly, Inazuma burst into the room carrying a large covered plate and a newspaper.
"Ma'am!" he saluted, placing the newspaper on the plate to raise his hand to his forehead. "We have news of a new Yonko!"
Ivankov rose suddenly, shocked. There hadn't been a new Yonko since Roger was executed. Inazuma placed the plate on the table, and handed Ivankov the newspaper. He uncovered the plate, and a small fork and chocolate cake appeared. Ivankov's favorite. He gave the Okama Queen a small smile before continuing.
"They call him Akagami no Shanks," he said, "apparently he used to be a cabin boy on the Oro Jackson."
Ivankov stabbed the cake with a grin. Maybe this Akagami-boy would stir things up sooner than she thought.
This one was really fun to write; Ivankov is one of my favourite characters. Reviews, Subscriptions, and Favourites are much appreciated. Thank you for your time and see you on Jan 10th for Eustass Kidd and Otohime!
