Your disguise has been compromised and you discover that Crocodile's ways of having fun are not funny at all.

Warning: NSFW

The next time you open your eyes darkness is completely involving you, and the first thing you notice is that you can't move freely: you were in your knees, your ankles were restricted with some kind of shackles that were fixed to the floor, and your wrists had been tied tightly over your head with a chain, making absolutely impossible for you to change position.

You gulp loudly and pass your tongue over your dry lips, trying by all means to push away the fear that fought to settle in all your body to make you unable to react. It was stupid to panic. Doing that wouldn't solve anything. Besides, Doflamingo and the Family were probably looking for you, so maybe you just had to wait for them to find you and-

You shake your head before finishing that thought. No, you couldn't wait for them to rescue you. You were now a member of the Donquixote Family, and you had insisted on doing this mission, so you had to do all you could to solve the mess you were in, or definitely Doflamingo wasn't going to let you participate in another mission ever.

You take a deep breath to calm down your racing heart and focus on your current not-very-good situation. Even if you thought that it was going to be useless, you pull down with your arms, just in case you were lucky and that chain would miraculously break allowing you to escape from that place without any problems. Obviously, you aren't lucky: the chain was firmly secured in the ceiling, so you decide to save strength because you had the feeling that you were going to need it.

After accepting that you were not going anywhere any time soon, you try to discover where you were. You blink a couple of times, trying to adjust your eyes to the darkness of the place. After some seconds you manage to deduce that you were in some kind of huge glassed cage, since you could distinguish vaguely your reflection in front of you. Also, you realize that the ground on which you were kneeling wasn't metallic nor glassed either, but softer, like…sand?

Just when you are wondering why the hell you are in a cage with sand, the whole room suddenly illuminates, causing you to close your eyes tightly when the intense light blinds you almost completely.

"Kuhahaha. Good. You are awake already"

Your eyes open wide again when hearing Crocodile and you immediately follow his voice. It doesn't take you much to find the man and to verify that you were right about your previous supposition: you were inside a glassed cage and Crocodile was just outside it, sitting comfortably in a leather armchair with his legs crossed and a cruel smile in his features, as if he was waiting to enjoy a show. Some of their men were there too, standing just behind Crocodile. You recognize Mrs. Merry Christmas and Mr. Zero among them. However, you barely look at them because your eyes are fixed on Crocodile's left arm, since instead of the orthopedic hand that you had seen Crocodile wear during the two weeks you worked for him, now he was wearing a hook, and not just a 'normal' hook, but a hook that looked made of gold.

Crocodile seems to notice your face of stupor because he looks at his own metallic 'hand' before raising it, showing it you.

"Oh, this? Honestly, I would have never thought that you would see me wearing it, Miss (y/n). After all, just my enemies have that privilege. And it's really a pity that things have turned out this way because…", Crocodile's smile widens mockingly, "…I wouldn't have minded to know you more intimately before coming to this"

You return the smile in the same way.

"Oh, I don't regret it that much. I think that being in this cage is waaay better than having to stand your horrible cliché compliments"

Crocodile's expression doesn't change but you can see the way his right hand turns into a tight fist, indicating that your comment hadn't pleased him in the least.

"Definitely you and Doflamingo make a good couple. You are both incredibly annoying"

You bite your tongue not to say Crocodile that what he had just said was the best compliment he had ever made you because you shouldn't push your luck by making the man too angry. After all, you shouldn't forget that you had been kidnapped and, for now at least, you were at Crocodile's mercy, so you better refrain your habit of answering with sarcasm.

"Very well, enough with the chit-char", Crocodile stands up from the armchair and approaches the glass wall of the cage, "let's get to the point, Miss (y/n): because of you, not just the data we stole from your dear Doflamingo has vanished, but also some critical information of my company has been destroyed, so…", Crocodile hisses the next words in a dangerous tone, no trace of his previous smile on his face, "…I want you to fix it"

You gulp. The truth was that it was almost impossible to "fix it". The virus that Monet had created was extremely potent and thorough, so probably she was the only one who maybe (maybe) could recover the destroyed data, but obviously you couldn't say that. If Crocodile discovered that there was nothing that you could do, he wouldn't have any reason to keep you alive. So for now, you had to make him believe that you could do something, and convince him to free you from that cage if you wanted to have a possibility to escape.

"I-It's not that simple", you say rapidly after some seconds, when realizing that Crocodile was beginning to lose his patience, "I mean, I guess that I could at least recover the information of your company, but I can't do it from here-"

"Oh, no, Miss (y/n), there is no way that you abandon your prison so early", Crocodile snaps his fingers and a curvaceous, slim woman with curly hair approaches the cage as well, "I think you haven't met Paula before. She is in charge of the Engineering Department and will be the one in following your instructions to fix the mess you've caused"

You look at Crocodile and Paula alternatively.

"So you want me to tell her how to fix a virus that has destroyed practically all the data of your company while being like this", you emphasize your words moving the chains of your wrists loudly, "okay, and how many years do you want to wait until having it fixed? Because that's the time is going to take us by following that method"

"It won't take that much if you explain me how you've created the virus", Paula intervenes with a superior smile, "I have a lot of experience in this topic, so I'm pretty sure I can fix it on my own if you answer me some questi-"

"Sorry to interrupt you but how much I've been unconscious?"

Paula blinks confused when hearing your apparently unrelated question. She looks at Crocodile as if asking him permission to answer and when the man nods briefly she speaks.

"Two hours more or less, why?"

"Okay, then may I suppose that during these two hours you have been trying to fix it on your own without success?", you point yourself a win when Paula tenses, "and you want me to believe that you will be able to recover the information without my help just with some verbal instructions?", you snort and look at Crocodile, making sure to look super confident of yourself, "this is not going to work. Not this way. If you want to recover the information of your company, you have to let me out"

"Miss (y/n), for second time, you're not leaving your prison for now", Crocodile approaches his face to the glass more, fixing his deep black eyes on you, "so you can begin to give Paula instructions. Now"

You half-close your eyes at the man and raise your chin towards him.

"Mr. Crocodile, how stupid do you think I am? In the remote case Paula could fix everything with my instructions (thing that it is impossible), you would stop needing me, so I'm not saying anything until you free me from here"

Crocodile lets out a deep breath while tensing his jaw, but you don't avert your eyes from the man. You keep glaring at each other for some tense seconds before a smirk begins to appear in Crocodile's face again. You frown with suspicion when the man raises his hook with a sharp movement, as if he was giving someone instructions. Wait, was Crocodile going to free you?

"Very well, Miss (y/n), let's do a deal: if you manage to get free on your own, I will agree with your petition of fixing it yourself"

When Crocodile stops talking, the shackles that were immobilizing your feet and wrists open, allowing you to stand up with difficulty. You feel your legs numb for having been in such position for two hours and your wrists hurt a little for the abrasion caused by the shackles, but hey, at least you could move now.

"Okay", you say, touching the red marks of your wrists to alleviate a little the discomfort, "so I just have to get out from here?"

A chorus of laughter coming from the members of Baroque Works explodes when you say that. Even Crocodile's mood seemed to have improved because the man was chuckling, and definitely that couldn't be good.

"Yes, Miss (y/n), you just have to do that"

At that moment, the metallic sound of a gate being opened invades the room and one of the lateral walls of the cage begins to move from bottom to top, letting you see that the prison where you were confined was way bigger than you have initially thought. As the gate slowly opens, you see that the other side is decorated with several plants and trunks that look incredibly real, and in fact when the gate opens more you realize that there's an area with water and…

…And then your heart stops, because there was something in the water.

And that 'something' was the most enormous, gigantic and real crocodile that you had ever seen. That's the moment when you realize that all this time you have been locked in a monstrous terrarium that surely was the house of that animal that was pleasantly floating on the water.

"Oh, don't be shy", Crocodile says with a cruel smile when seeing you obviously paralyzed, "Bellatrix is really nice: you should introduce yourself to her"

Another metallic sound that this time comes from behind joins the one belonging to the gate (that by then was almost completely opened). You turn around and observe horrified how the opposite wall to the gate is beginning to move against you, making the room where you had been standing become smaller and smaller.

"Shit!", you almost trip over in your hurry to approach the moving wall, searching desperately for something that would stop its advance but after some moments you realize that it is useless: the wall was inevitably forcing you to step on the room where that beast was, probably to be Bellatrix's next meal.

"Well, Miss (y/n), the rules of the game are simple", Crocodile says when the gate has closed completely, leaving you alone with the enormous animal, "you just have to recover the key of the cage and you're free"

You press your back against the gate and remain as immobile as possible, your eyes not leaving the female crocodile for even one second. At least it seemed that the animal hadn't noticed your presence yet.

"Can't you at least tell me where the key is?", you whisper, throwing Crocodile a side glance. The man had sat in the armchair again and simply laughed.

"Use your imagination, Miss (y/n). Where do you think I have hidden it?"

You gulp. Knowing the bastard Crocodile was the key was surely under water, exactly where the crocodile was. Damn, how the hell were you supposed to recover it without being eaten? Fuck, at this rate your first mission was going to be also your last one and you didn't want that! Maybe the solution was to swallow your pride and beg for mercy? It was your life what was on the line after all so-

"Miss (y/n), sorry, but this game is not interesting without a little of action"

Crocodile snaps his fingers again and you gasp covering your ears when a rather strident sound almost makes the terrarium shake, effectively causing Bellatrix to grunt in annoyance. The noise just lasts some seconds, but that time was enough to catch Bellatrix's attention towards you.

Your heart begins to hammer in your chest when seeing the way the animal is staring at you. 'Okay, (y/n), remember Jurassic Park: don't do any rude movements. Maybe by doing that the crocodile doesn't see you'

You remain still, praying all the existing gods and goddess that you were right, and at first it seemed that Bellatrix isn't seeing you.

However, your hope is crushed when, with a horribly speed, Bellatrix steps out the water and begins to go towards you. The vision of that 4 meters impressive animal rapidly approaching you causes you to be paralyzed for a moment, but fortunately the laughter of Crocodile's men make you react and you run with all your might towards one of the rocks that were in the area.

The direction that you had taken makes the gigantic beast to make a turn that delays her just enough to allow you to climb the 3 meters rock with an ability that you had just acquired thanks to the fear and your lessons with Lao G. Your hurry for putting yourself safe causes the stockings that you were wearing to end broken in several points, but when you manage to be at the top of the rock you can just feel relief and barely notice the scratches that adorn your legs.

You see the fat crocodile grunting in annoyance, looking at you while moving her muscular tail with impatience. Fortunately, the position of the plants and rocks make impossible for the crocodile to reach you, but the main problem still remained: you had to get that key, and you couldn't do that as long as Bellatrix had her interest in you. It had been already a miracle that you had managed to escape her in the ground, so it was a complete suicide to try to win the female crocodile in water.

"Impressive, Miss (y/n): not many people had managed to avoid Bellatrix's first attack. You're surely something"

You are about to show Crocodile your middle finger when hearing his genuine impressed tone, but you decide to ignore him. You couldn't allow yourself to waste time reacting to that bastard's provocations: you had to think about how the hell you were going to distract Bellatrix. What could make the crocodile stop focusing in you?

After some moments of thinking an idea pops in your mind: you didn't know much about crocodiles, but you did know that some animals, like sharks, always reacted to blood, so maybe it also worked with Bellatrix. After analyzing the pros and contras of that idea, you decide that you didn't have too many choices in your current situation, so you simply go for it.

The first thing you do is to unbutton your shirt and remove it, ending just in your (c) bra. The action causes some of Crocodile's men to whistle at you, but you just focused on the next step of your plan and simply ignore them. Thankfully, there were some smaller rocks around the one you were standing, so you take the one that looked sharper than the rest and after taking a deep breath you press the rock's edge against your left hand. You bite your lip to avoid whining in discomfort when the irregular shape pierces your skin, and the moment blood begins to sprout from the wound you take your shirt and begins to spread your blood on it.

"You know, Miss (y/n), this is the funniest show I've ever seen until now. Maybe if you beg for mercy I'll let you out"

Again, you ignore Crocodile's fake promise and the laughter of his men and use the same sharp rock that you have used in your palm to cut the stained sleeve. You also cut the other sleeve and tie it around your palm to cover the fresh wound, making sure to tie it tightly despite the pain it provokes you to prevent it from keeping bleeding. Once you've done that, you take the bloody sleeve and after taking a deep breath you slide it in one of the side of the rocks, where Bellatrix is waiting for you to do next move.

The effect when seeing the sleeve is immediate: Bellatrix tries to pounce over it, grunting loudly. Well, it seemed that she indeed reacted to blood, so now you just hoped that the smell was enough to stop her from keeping focusing on you.

You begin to move the sleeve from one side of another, verifying that Bellatrix followed it, and after the third time that the animal had followed the sleeve you decide that it's time to do the final and most dangerous step.

You take a deep breath, summoning all your courage, and after crumbling the sleeve you throw it at the other side of the room, the most far away than you can. Immediately, Bellatrix begins to run towards the sleeve, so before beginning to have second thoughts you practically jump out the rock to go towards the water, always looking at the crocodile to verify that she was entertained with the sleeve.

After seeing that the animal was indeed destroying the sleeve with way-too-much enthusiasm, you step in the water (that thankfully wasn't too deep) and begin to look for the key.

You feel yourself about to panic again when some seconds had passed and you hadn't found anything yet. Maybe you were wrong and the key wasn't there, or maybe there had never been a key in the first place and Crocodile just wanted to let you die inside that terrarium. But just when you are feeling tears of despair forming in your eyes you see it: a golden glow coming from the bottom of the pound. You dive in the water without thinking towards the glow and you feel about to shout in relief when recognizing a small golden key. You grab it rapidly, surface again and step outside the pound with your heart hammering in your chest.

By then Bellatrix had got tired already of the sleeve, and the moment she sees you emerging from the water she grunts loudly and begins to go towards you. You don't have even time to think if it was safer to return to the rock instead of running towards the gate: by that time you just want to get out of there once and for all, so while cursing non-stop you begin to run with all your might towards the exit. The damn sand that was covering the floor makes running more difficult and you are about to trip a couple of times, but you manage to reach the gate. You hear Bellatrix breathing besides you while you enter the key with trembling hands, and just when you practically are feeling the animal's mouth opening next to your legs the gate opens and you stomp out of it, falling into the floor facing down.

You turn around rapidly, fearing that Bellatrix had abandoned the cage with you, but to your surprise the animal was just grunting from inside the gate with a grumpy expression, not moving at all.

It's at that moment when you realize that the room where you are is a study, and considering the expensive furniture that was adorning it maybe you were in a manor. Wait, did that mean that Crocodile had brought you his private home? No, that couldn't be, or Doflamingo and the Family would have found you already for sure…

You are so busy trying to deduce where you are that you barely notice that the members of Baroque Works are applauding you for your performance. However, you do notice when they stop doing so when Crocodile stands up from the armchair to walk towards your direction.

"It seems that I have underestimated your abilities, Miss (y/n)", Crocodile approaches Bellatrix briefly and rubs her sharp head, causing the animal to stop grunting and move towards Crocodile's hand, as if enjoying the ministrations, "I think you are the only one who has managed to escape from Bellatrix's cage. Certainly, Doflamingo knows how to choose his women"

Crocodile turns towards you and offers you a hand to stand up, but you ignore it and stand up on your own. Your look right now couldn't be odder: you were half-naked, with your stockings broken and completely drenched, but despite all that your stance was proud, dignified and defiant, and you could see a shadow of admiration pass through Crocodile's eyes before he recovers his previous serious expression.

"Paula, give Miss (y/n) something to wear. It would be a pity that she ended ill and unable to do her work"

Paula handles you a jacket that was a little bigger for you, but that was better than walking around just in your bra.

Okay, now you were free as you wanted so now you had to escape from there, and you knew exactly how you were going to try to do that,

"Before that, can I ask you something?", you don't wait for Crocodile to agree and keep talking, "I need to go to the restroom"

Crocodile chuckles with amusement when hearing your petition.

"Sure. Paula, can you please accompany her? And don't take your eyes off her"

Paula nods and extracts a small pistol from the pocket of her tight trousers to point at you with it. She is about to grab your arm to lead you there but you stop her.

"Wait, I need to recover my bag before going"

Crocodile raises an eyebrow with suspicion.

"Miss (y/n), if you are thinking about escaping I suggest you to discard that ide-"

"I need the tampons that are inside"

Your rude answer causes Crocodile to shut up at once, and in fact a faint blush adorns his cheeks before clicking his tongue. Wow, for being a womanizer the man surely got embarrassed quickly.

"Paula, give Miss (y/n) her…em…things. Verify first that there's nothing suspicious though"

Paula nods with an imperturbable expression and finally leads you outside the room. Your suspicions about being in a manor disappear when you step outside the study, because the corridor that lead to the restrooms was more similar to the one you would find in some kind of storehouse, so probably you had been brought to one of Crocodile's secret factories (you knew that Doflamingo had some of them too even if you had never been there) and therefore finding you was going to be more complicated.

Just a minute later you are in the restroom with Paula. The woman examines the tampons for some moments but eventually she gives one to you and waits outside while you get inside one of the stalls.

The moment you enter it you put the bolt and open one of the tampons. While Paula examined it you hadn't been nervous at all because it was impossible that she found anything weird in them. After all, they were just normal tampons with just a light difference: the cotton which they were made off was a special material that Gladius had designed. A material that, when mixed with another component, made the tampons become a rather potent explosive, and of course you were also wearing that other component.

While making sure to do noise with the tampon's package to pretend that you were using it, you extract the fake teeth from your mouth (anyone had realized that you had been wearing them) and from one of the front teeth you extract a small plastic piece. You introduce then the piece into the fake cotton of the tampon, making sure to cover it well, and when you finish you examine the small bomb that you had just created. According to Gladius, it would take the plastic five minutes to dissolve inside the fake cotton, and when that happened the liquid that the plastic piece carried inside (and that was completely inoffensive as long as it did not mix with the fake cotton) would spread, creating a chemic reaction that would make the tampon explode with a force similar to a grenade.

You take a deep breath, put your fake teeth again and after using the bathroom for real to keep appearances you step outside the stall wearing the tampon in the pocket of your skirt.

"It has taken you a while", Paula says with suspicion the moment you exist the stall.

You look at her with a 'really?' expression and settle your hands on your skirt.

"Well, if you want to verify if I'm wearing it-"

You see Paula blush deeply when you make the gesture of lowering you skirt.

"Tsk, you have no shame or what?"

You suppress a smile when Paula grabs your arm and forces you out of the bathroom, keeping her pistol pointed at one of your sides. Definitely, Monet and Viola had been right when suggesting Gladius to design the tampon as a bomb.

Paula walks you back to the room and when you enter Crocodile has a computer waiting for you.

"Well, Miss (y/n), time to work", Crocodile signals with his hook a chair that was just in front of the computer, "and you better not try anything funny because Paula will be observing all your actions"

After nodding you sit down in the chair Crocodile has indicated you. You feel the mini-bomb rapidly vibrate three times inside your pocket, indicating that three minutes remained until it exploded. Well, time to play.

"I would need the mobile I used to upload the virus", you say looking at Crocodile, lying with all the conviction you can, "with it I can change the program so that it recovers the data that had been removed"

"And how exactly are you going to do that?", Paula asks, not convinced at all for your words.

"Well, if you give me the mobile I can explain it to you", you insist, passing to look at Paula instead, "you can use the mobile yourself if you don't trust me"

Paula half-close her eyes but after hesitating she nods at Crocodile, who snaps his fingers causing one of his men to bring the mobile to Paula.

"Very well, what do I have to do?"

You suppress the urge to gulp. The mini-bomb vibrates two times in your pocket. You better calculate the timing of your next actions. Definitely, dying because your own bomb had exploded in your pocket couldn't be more ridiculous.

"Turn it on and connect it to the computer"

"Miss (y/n), I remind you again that if you try to do something…", Crocodile settles his hand over your shoulder from behind while using his hook to caress your cheek, the cold feeling causing a shiver travel down your spine, "…that pretty face of yours will go to waste"

You gulp and nod. One vibration. One minute until the bomb exploded, so you begin to count mentally. You hoped to know what you were doing.

"Alright, it's connected", Paula says, "and now?"

You feel your heart become crazy in your chest again. 30 seconds. Damn, you really hoped to know what you were doing.

"Simply enter the 'recover' folder and press accept"

And Paula does so.

And then everyone but you jumps in their seats when Monet's laughter fills the room.

'I'm sorry, dear. The virus has been updated and there's no way to recover it~'

"What the hell is tha-"

But Crocodile doesn't finish his sentence because while making the most of the general confusion that reigned in the room you rapidly stand up from your chair, extracts the mini-bomb from your pocket and threw it at the other side of the room. It seemed that your calculations had been correct enough because the mini-bomb had barely touched the floor when it exploded with a loud noise, causing some of the men that were around to go flying around the room at the same time that a cloud of smoke covers the room almost completely.

After the bomb exploded, you immediately try to abandon the room the fastest you can, but this time it has been you the one in underestimating Crocodile because with a growl the man manages to grab your arm. You try to get free from his grip but Crocodile manages to pin you against his desk forcibly, pressing his hook against your throat.

You grab his golden hooks with both arms, trying to push him away from you but it was useless: Crocodile was stronger than you, so it was impossible for you to win him at such a close range.

"You can struggle as much as you want, Miss (y/n), but it's too late now", Crocodile approaches his face to yours to snarl the next words, "You have wasted all the chances I have offered you, so let me tell you a little secret: your dear Doflamingo won't be in time to rescue you"

Crocodile presses your hook against your neck, causing you to have difficulties to breath in a matter of seconds, but you force yourself to remain conscious. You couldn't faint now if you wanted to come out alive from this.

"You're right", you manage to say with a ragged voice, "I've wasted all your chances. But at least can I say something before you kill me?"

Crocodile snorts, but he eventually reduces the pressure over your neck a little to allow you to speak.

"Very well, Miss (y/n). Your last words?"

You carefully move your right leg so that it is just between Crocodile's legs. You incorporate a little over the desk and approach your mouth to Crocodile's ear

"I don't need to be rescued"

Just after finishing talking, you raise your right leg as fast as you can while shouting 'Malfunctionin-G Crotch!'. Your knee connects hardly against Crocodile's lower half, and after getting pale than a ghost Crocodile falls into the floor bending in two. Paula makes the mistake of looking at her boss with concern instead of keeping pointing at you, so you take the chance and pounce over her with all your force. Your attack takes her completely by surprise and thanks to one of the techniques that Gladius taught you, you manage to steal the pistol from her.

"Move and I shoot your boss", you say loudly, pointing at Crocodile with the gun.

The members of Baroque Works that kept standing immediately remain still, but when hearing your warning Crocodile begins to laugh from the floor, even if a pained grimace still showed in his face.

"Cut it out, Miss (y/n)", Crocodile snapped, "I can easily tell that you aren't able to kill a person"

You snort while unlocking the safety-catch from the gun.

"You want to try me?", you threat, but Crocodile was right. You could feel your hands trembling while sustaining the gun just when thinking about pulling the trigger.

Crocodile must have noticed too because his smirk widens.

"Paula, recover your gun. There is no risk that Miss (y/n) dares to shoo-"

BANG

The next thing you see after hearing that strident gunshot is Crocodile collapsing backwards with a piercing growl, grabbing his wounded shoulder with his right hand.

And then, a familiar laughter begins to sound over the exclamations of stupor.

"Fu fu fu~. It's a pity then that I dare to shoot on her behalf"

For a moment you think that you were imagining things, but when you look towards the door you realize that you aren't dreaming: Doflamingo is standing there, looking even taller than usual while wearing that pink-feathery coat and his flamboyant sunglasses with his usual style, and while sustaining a black and gold pistol on his hand. The pistol that had just caused Crocodile to end squirming in pain in the floor.

You are still assimilating that Doflamingo had just appeared when suddenly the walls of the whole study explode at once and the rest of the Donquixote Family appears, all of them wearing different weapons and the scariest faces that you had ever seen them show. Even Baby 5 looked extremely frightening wearing that bazooka, which was surely one of the weapons that had destroyed the walls, and you could barely hide your stupor when Senor Pink approached Mister Zero and made him fall into the floor with just a well given kick.

While the Family reduces the men of Baroque Works with impeccable efficiency, Doflamingo begins to approach you without stopping pointing at Crocodile, walking across the room with security as if he owned the whole place.

He stops just next to you and with his free hands he softly makes you lower the gun that you still had grabbed with force.

"I got this, young lady", Doflamingo says with a tone that clearly contrasted with the dark aura that was surrendering him, "the mission is over now"

You gulp loudly, feeling a lump forming in your throat, and before you can do something incredibly stupid such as beginning to cry in front of everyone you let the gun fall into the floor and throw your arms around Doflamingo's neck to hug him tightly, letting go all the tension and fear that you had been holding in until then. Doflamingo encloses his free arm around your trembling body, returning the embrace.

"Did he hurt you?", Doflamingo hisses in a low tone so that you just could hear him, and you shake your head against his strong neck.

"No, I'm fine", you answer after sobbing, "I had everything under control. In fact, you didn't need to come at all"

Doflamingo snorts when hearing your ironic comment and after kissing your forehead he removes the jacket that you were wearing to cover you in his feathery coat instead.

"Baby 5, accompany (y/n) to the limousine. There are a couple of things that I have to tell my friend Crocodile before leaving"

For a brief second, you feel pity for Crocodile when Doflamingo crouches next to the fallen man with a terrifying smirk, but then you remember your time inside the terrarium and how Crocodile had been about to choke you, so the only thing you do is to (finally) remove your fake teeth, throw them away and look at the man from above with a cold look.

"Goodbye, Mr. Crocodile. I guess that it's not necessary to present a resignation letter"

Even if you really hated the man, you can't help to admire his stubbornness when Crocodile laughs weakly.

"Such a pity, Miss (y/n). I wouldn't have minded to have fun with you a little mor-ARGH!"

You can't help to feel pain when Doflamingo presses the barrel of the gun just on the wound that Crocodile had received in the shoulder, causing more blood to spread from it.

"Tsk, tsk, my dear Crocodile, a gentleman shouldn't flirt with other men's girlfriends. And specially…", Doflamingo leans over Crocodile until their faces are inches apart, "if it's my girlfriend whom we are talking about. So watch your tongue if you don't want me to shoot at something else. For example…", Doflamingo points at the terrarium where the female Crocodile was, "…at your dear pet"

You had been about to let Baby 5 guide you outside but you stop when hearing Doflamingo, and you couldn't help to feel pity once again when seeing Crocodile looking really frightened after hearing Doflamingo's threat.

"Doffy", when hearing you calling his name softly Doflamingo looks at you with curiosity, "um…please, don't hurt Bellatrix"

Doflamingo raises an eyebrow while Crocodile looks at you with disbelief.

"Bellatrix?"

"The crocodile", you explain, "she isn't at fault for having this jerk as her owner so, please, let her be"

Doflamingo looks towards Bellatrix, that now was trembling a little after he pointed at her with an evident murderous intent, and after some second Doflamingo points at Crocodile again instead.

"As you wish, young lady"

You smile at Doflamingo and look at Crocodile briefly again, who lets out the breathing he had been holding before nodding at you almost imperceptibly, probably as a thank you. You don't say anything in return and finally lets Baby 5 enclose and arm around your shoulders to lead you outside the place.

The walk towards the limousine is filled with Crocodile's pained growls, and when Doflamingo joins you in the back seat some minutes later you realize that the man's white shirt is covered in blood that obviously isn't his, but you find yourself not caring at all. You simply lean over Doflamingo's body and let him enclose an arm around you while Lao G finally carries you and the entire Family home.

You had feared that Doflamingo scolded you during the trip because of the disastrous ending of the mission, but to your surprise everyone begins to congratulate you the moment Lao G starts the car. In fact, Gladius looked really impressed when knowing that you had used the bomb that he designed, and Lao G was very satisfied after learning that his last technique had proved to be rather effective.

During the trip, you also learnt who had sold you out: a young police officer.

"What?", you say confused, "but who was that officer? And how did he know that I was…well, me"

"Apparently, Inspector Smoker was talking to one of his subordinates about what had happened with Crocodile", Viola explains, "and he didn't realize that a stupid newbie officer that was dying to ascend quickly was eavesdropping to his conversation. That newbie (I think his name was Helmeppo or something) talked to the chief of the Police Department about the matter. This one thought that maybe after discovering your disguise, Crocodile would be willing to make a deal with him to share some of his information with the Police, since the last one had been after some of his clients for quite a while"

"Wow, the chief of the Police looks like a really legal guy", you say with sarcasm after Viola speaks, causing the woman to snort.

"Yes, the badge that he wears is the only thing that prevents chief Sakazuki from being called a criminal"

"Okay, so then that Helmeppo was the one who sold me but how did you discover all this?", you ask with curiosity, "and how did you manage to find me?"

You are surprised when Viola chuckles and Doflamingo clicks his tongue.

"Tell her, Doffy", Viola says with a teasing tone, "how did we find her?"

Doflamingo exhales a sigh before answering with annoyance

"Thanks to Smoker"

"What?!", you exclaim, looking at Doflamingo and Viola alternatively, "but…what?!"

"Yes, the moment Smoker learnt about Sakazuki's plan he seemed to think that you were going to be in danger, so he called me", Viola says with a smile, "basically, he told me that he knew that I still worked for Doffy even if he couldn't prove it, that he knew that you were involved in some kind of mission, and that Crocodile was going to discover who you were. Then he listed me the location of some warehouses that he had been investigating secretly with his men while investigating Crocodile, because he thought that that would be the place where Crocodile would bring you"

You blink several times, completely astonished. Damn, inspector Smoker was surely something. Definitely, you couldn't help to like the man a little. Although in a purely innocent way, obviously.

"W-Wow", you exhale at the end, "I will have to thank him then"

"It won't be necessary: I've already done so, so you do not need to talk to the Inspector again"

You look at Doflamingo with confusion when hearing his cutting tone while Viola burst out laughing.

"I think someone is jealous"

"Viola…"

"Come on, Doffy: Smoker is just a good man, the fact that he had wanted to help (y/n) doesn't mean that he is in love with her"

"You all did say the same about Crocodile and that bastard fell for her anyway"

"That's not true: he fell for Miss White Day, not for (y/n)"

"VIOLA…"

"Yes, Doffy?"

Fortunately for Doflamingo (since he was the one who was losing the conversation against Viola) you arrive to the manor just a couple of minutes later. You are surprised when seeing that Law, Corazon, Rebecca, Cavendish and Bartolomeo are waiting for you there: Law to make his job as a doctor you and the others because they had been deadly worried for you.

After convincing everyone that you were really okay, Law examined you. He examined your light scratches, treated the wound in your hand and instructed you to wear a bandage during the next week. He also told you to go to visit week in a couple of days to see it how it evolved.

You thanked the man with a smile, accepted everyone's effusive hugs of happiness once again and the next thing you did was to let Doflamingo accompany you to his bedroom. You have the vague memory of Doflamingo telling you something about resting and the next time you open your eyes, you see Doflamingo sitting next to you in his king-sized bed, wearing a robe and reading a book calmly.

"Fufufu~, you're finally awake", Doflamingo chuckles when seeing your still sleepy face, "you've been sleeping for an entire day"

"What?! A day?!", you exclaim, looking at the hour to see that it was 6 p.m. already.

"Yes, 24 hours exactly", Doflamingo repeats with amusement, "Jora has begun to prepare dinner right now. I think she will call us in an hour and half or so"

You nod before incorporating into a sitting position and look at Doflamingo hesitantly.

"Um…can I borrow your shower before going to have dinner?"

Doflamingo looks at you with such a serious expression that you feel your heart skip a beat for a moment.

"(y/n), I don't know how many times to tell you this is also your home too: you can borrow whatever you want so stop asking such idiotic questions"

You chuckle when hearing Doflamingo's annoyed tone and kiss him briefly conciliatory.

"Okay, I won't ask idiotic questions again", you repeat playfully before entering the shower.

You spend more time than necessary in the shower, simply enjoying the warm water on your body. When you step out you feel extremely refreshed and active, although that was pretty normal after having been sleeping for a damn day.

Moments later you return to Doflamingo's bedroom with a towel around your body, and frown a little confused when seeing that Doflamingo isn't in the bed.

However, you are just going to call for him when suddenly you feel a couple of strong arms close around you from behind and a familiar mouth landing on the side of your neck. You gasp softly in surprise when Doflamingo teases the sensitive flesh, sucking at it to leave his mark before traveling up until reaching your ear.

"Sorry, (y/n): I haven't told you before but probably the dinner will have to wait"

You tremble in excitation when perceiving the lust that Doflamingo's voice carried. Fuck, of course the dinner was going to wait: after the last intense day the only thing you wanted was to let Doflamingo mess you up however the hell he wanted.

After Doflamingo's tongue elicits another moan out your mouth you turn your head to try to kiss him. However, Doflamingo seemed to have other plans because without warning he grabs your princess style to carry you towards his impressive bed and throws you into it almost unceremoniously.

Doflamingo removes then the robe he was wearing with a fluent movement, ending in all his naked glory. You bite your bottom lip with excitation, drinking from his sculpted figure, but you don't have much time to appreciate your boyfriend's sinful body because at that moment Doflamingo crawls over you, rips your towel off to expose your body and dives down with a growl to suck at one of your breasts viciously.

You moan in surprise when Doflamingo tongues and nibbles your nipple with hunger, using his hand to give the unattended breast the same treatment. You settle your hands over Doflamingo's powerful shoulder blades and your fingers almost dig in his skin every time that he uses his teeth to tease your sensitive soft flesh. However, you aren't able to enjoy how nice his taut muscles feel under your hands because at that moment Doflamingo begins to travel down your body.

The only warning you obtain about what is going to happen next is Doflamingo placing your legs over his shoulders with no effort before going down on you.

This time you literally cry in ecstasy, body arching off the bed when Doflamingo's long, awesome tongue presses against your womanhood, proving expertly between your folds until reaching your clit. Your legs begin to tremble violently over Doflamingo and your toes curl with every precise lick that the man gives to that little sensitive bud.

Doflamingo pleasures you with his mouth until you are a panting mess. He grunts with the way your hips begin to rock against him, riding his mouth as if they were unconsciously asking for more without the need of words. Doflamingo adds his fingers to the assault then, pumping and stretching them in and out you steadily, each one of this thrusts causing you to become wetter and more impatient for more.

"D-Doffy", you almost beg, unable to wait anymore after a third digit joins the other two, "Doffy, please…"

When hearing your plea Doflamingo slowly withdraws his tongue and fingers from you and incorporates until being in a kneeling position just over you. He grabs your arms and drags you up with him until you are sitting with your legs between his parted ones, your face just in front of his crotch. You shiver when seeing how erect his member has become just for giving you oral, as if he had enjoyed it as much as you had.

"Lick", Doflamingo says with a thick voice, grabbing his member and offering it to you. You normally didn't like to be ordered around but this time Doflamingo's commanding tone turns you even more aroused.

Without wasting more time you secure your hands over Doflamingo's perfect V shape and begin to lick hungrily around his shaft, making sure to coat it well with your saliva. Doflamingo settles one hand over your head, and although he doesn't thrust into your mouth his grip is firm, guiding you towards the places of his member on which he desires to feel your oral attentions.

You look up while keeping lapping at Doflamingo's member, shivering every time that Doflamingo hisses lowly in pleasure when your tongue finds a particularly good spot. You eventually get tired of just licking and decide to carefully welcome Doflamingo's member in your mouth. Doflamingo grunts approvingly and intensifies the grip in your head when you increase a little the speed, swallowing his member the best you could and using your hands to pump the flesh that couldn't fit in your mouth.

The next time a grunt escapes from Doflamingo's lightly parted lips you raise your gaze, not wanting to miss his aroused expression, and it seems that locking eyes with Doflamingo while doing such an erotic act stirs something inside him because with another grunt he pulls your head back, making you release his member. You have barely recovered some air before Doflamingo is on you, kissing you violently.

"Your palm and knees", Doflamingo snarls against your mouth, "do they hurt much?"

You shake your head negatively and Dolfmaingo smirks.

"Then turn around"

The want that drip from Doflamingo's voice when spelling those words makes you weak in the knees, and again, you don't complain one bit when being commanded like that, because tonight it seemed that Doflamingo just wanted to fuck you into oblivion against that bed and you were just in the mood for it, so you get on fours rapidly with your legs trembling because of the anticipation.

You miss the way Doflamingo licks his lips with lust when seeing you in such a provocative posture. Doflamingo takes his time groping your buttocks viciously once, twice, before securing his big hands on your hips.

"Ready?"

You nod shakily and can't help to gasp when Doflamingo begins to bury inside you, slowly but without pause, causing you to lose the air of your lungs when his hot, thick girth stretches you impossibly wide, the pain that you were feeling being almost completely erased by the pleasure of feeling so full.

Doflamingo begins with shallow thrusts, allowing you to get used to him, but the moment he notices that you meet his movements he immediately changes to a punishing pace, beginning to pound fiercely inside you. He groans almost every time his pelvis slaps against your ass, the slicking sound of his member entering your loosened entrance over and over again fueling your own arousal.

You try to keep your arms extended against the mattress, but Doflamingo's aggressive rhythm makes them tremble so much that you decide to lean your upper front against the bed. The new position causes your already sensitive breasts to rub against the silky mattress back and forth, back and forth, making your nipples get hard once again because of the satisfying friction.

After some moments Doflamingo towers over you so that his hulking body is almost flushed against yours. You shiver powerfully when Doflamingo's long tongue licks from your middle back until reaching the back of your neck, your hands clutching the mattress when he bites the juncture between your shoulder and neck with possessiveness.

Tears of uncontrollable pleasure appear on the corner of your eyes when Doflamingo reaches around with one hand and begins to play with your clit without slowing down the pace of his merciless fucking. You manage to incorporate again, digging your palms over the mattress. You turn your head in an almost painful angle and open your mouth invitingly, silently asking Doflamingo to kiss you. The man immediately complies. Your tongues meet outside your mouths and your bottom lip ends a little sore when Doflamingo grabs it to nip at it, probably leaving a bruise.

"D-Doffy", Doflamingo's tongue traces your jaw until reaching you ear and the knot in your stomach becomes tighter when hearing Doflamingo's ragged groans so close, lightly muffled for the erotic sound of skin meeting skin.

"More, young lady", Doflamingo orders, the hand that was still on your hip hooking on one of your breasts to pinch your already abused nipple, that action causing you to clench around his hot member with a whine, "call my name more"

"D-Doffy…ahn~…Doffy", you say his name like a prayer, throwing your head against Doflamingo's shoulder while bucking your hips back with urgency now that you felt close, "o-oh god…oh god Doffy I'm going to-"

"Come", Doflamingo purrs against your ear, increasing even more the rhythm in a way that causes the bed to bang against the wall, "come for me, (y/n)"

There is no way that you can hold back any longer when hearing him call you with such a wanton tone. With Doflamingo's name in your lips you give in and let your climax wash over you. Doflamingo's hands return to your hips, his grip being the only thing that stops you from falling boneless in the bed. You use your last forces to settle one of your hands over Doflamingo's one and interlace your fingers together while the man keeps riding the last threads of his orgasm until he finally reaches completion, hissing your name in a raw satiated groan that makes the hair of the back of your head stand at once.

You pant against the mattress labouredly, feeling Doflamingo's hips jerk against you while emptying the last drops of his release inside you. You hear Doflamingo let out a deep, contented breath before getting out from you to join you on the bed. You curl against his body and place a hand over his tanned and slightly sweated pectorals, surprised when feeling his heartbeat just lightly accelerated.

"Seriously, your stamina will never stop impressing me"

Doflamingo chuckles when hearing you ramazed tone and enclose an arm around your shoulders, pressing you against him even more.

"I'm glad that I haven't lost my touch after two weeks of abstinence because of that damn bastard"

You gulp when Doflamingo sounds obviously annoyed.

"Are you angry?", you ask after a light moment of hesitation.

Doflamingo just sighs before raising your chin to kiss you in that way that always makes your body tremble.

"Just with myself for not having found you before, not with you. And I have to admit that you did well. Really well", he reluctantly says, "you had everything under control by when we found you"

You were about to smile proudly but then you remembered something that caused you to avert your eyes instead.

"Yes, but I couldn't shoot at him", you gulped, "so maybe I'm not that suited to be part of the Family as I thou-"

Doflamingo interrupts you with another hard kiss that removes the air of your lungs.

"You did well", he repeats with a tone that didn't leave space to doubts, "it was your first mission and you managed to carry it out almost until the end without help. And regarding not being able to shoot at someone don't worry: there will be more chances"

You can't help to laugh when Doflamingo says such a thing with a super casual tone. You grab Doflamingo's face to kiss him deeply, causing the man to grunt with satisfaction, and at that moment you finally remember something that you definitely had to tell Doflamingo.

"By the way…I accept your offer", Doflamingo looks at you momentarily confused, so you decide to be more precise, "I'm moving with you"

After you say those last words, a silence falls between you two until the telephone of Doflamingo's nightstand sounds and breaks it effectively.

Doflamingo picks up the phone, still looking at you with an unreadable expression that makes you incredibly nervous. Shit, maybe he had changed his mind and at the end he didn't want you to move with him? God, if that was the case you were going to die from embarrassement!

"Dinner is almost ready, Young Master", you hear Jora say at the phone, "will you an (y/n) come now or should I wait a little before calling the rest?"

You are about to answer for Doflamingo that yes, you were going right now just to break the damn tension that had settled between you two.

But then Doflamingo talks, and his lustful tone causes you to relax again while suffer a new shiver.

"You can call the rest, Jora. (y/n) and I won't go down in a while"

You have barely heard Jora say a completely natural 'Of course, Young Master' before Doflamingo is over you once again, pining you over the mattress with his big, powerful frame to kiss you senseless.

"Does this mean that you like my decision?", you breath when Doflamingo lets your mouth go.

Doflamingo smirks widely and begins to open your thighs slowly so that he could accommodate better between your parted legs, the action causing your heart to miss a beat.

"Oh, I do, young lady", Doflamingo hooks your legs around his waist before purring the next sentence against your lips, "and I'm going to prove it to you all night long"

You moan against Doflamingo's wide smirk when his thick member, fully hard again, begins to sink inside you oh-so-slowly, and when Doflamingo begins to pound inside your tight heat once again, causing you shout in ecstasy while crawling at his powerful frame with both hands, you manage to think that, definitely, it had been a great idea to wait until now to tell him the good news.

And finally this mini-arc is finished :P Hope you have liked it ^^ I hope you spend good days and Merry Christmas to all of you 3 ^^

Spoiler of the next chapter: (y/n) spends Christmas with Family and friends. A light chapter after making poor reader suffer with Crocodile xD
