Crocodile walked briskly through the hotel complex above the casino, muttering to himself. The weather was unbearably hot, causing the casino to become crowded to the capacity with sweaty tourists seeking a cool drink and a slot machine. To avoid being swarmed by all his idiotic admirers, Crocodile had seeked refuge in the empty halls above.
He found Nico Robin in the middle of one of the halls, building a sand castle.
The puzzled Shichibukai stared at the odd scene for a moment before scowling.
"What the hell are you doing?" he growled.
"I'm making a sand castle, of course." Robin said without looking up.
"And you brought sand inside Rain Dinners?" a vein in Crocodile's forehead twitched.
"No, this is your sand. You left a pile here recently."
Crocodile twisted around and realized there was a large hole in the back of his coat. Huh. That never happened before.
"And you didn't bother telling me?"
"Well, I thought you were busy so..."
"So you decided to build a sand castle and neglect your duties."
"When you put it that way, yes." Robin shrugged, using multiple hands to shape out the details of the elaborate structure. Crocodile raised a hand and the entire sand castle and every grain around it flew towards him, filling up the hole in his coat seamlessly.
"Don't ever do that again." Crocodile glared down at her.
"Of course, Mr. 0." Robin hid a smile. She stood up and walked away, leaving Crocodile alone in the hall.
He sighed and shook his head. What a troublesome woman.
So starting from here, there's NO MORE ANGST! Yaaaay! *confetti*
