Alright, this chapter ended being 8052 words long without author's notes. Sorry, it took me a few extra days to write it. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with this chapter and I have had some major school assignments that I had to work on and will again this week as well, but I will do my best to get the new chapter done soon.
I hope everyone enjoys!
Start Chapter 7
Buffalo had been with the crew nearly a week and a half and cleaned up nicely and fit in with his mixture of weirdness and quirky behaviors. The crew had found some pants for the boy to wear that, with some hemming, fit well enough they weren't falling off of him. They had also found few shirts around the ship that although, large, fit the boy well enough for the time being. He also trained with the rest of the crew without complaint. Unlike the other children that wanted to join the Donquixote family, Buffalo, was keeping up with the harsh training that was required to stick around.
Some aspects of the boy came off as him, being dumb. It didn't take long to figure out such assumptions weren't right. On the contrary, it didn't take long for Doflamingo to pick up on those eyes that were sharper than they first appeared. The man doubted that Buffalo was a genius or anything, but after a night of playing cards with the boy, the blond had been pleasantly surprised to discover he was far from stupid. Doflamingo was glad, so far, that he had saved the boy's life and he hoped to continue to feel that way.
After the disaster none were to speak of, Lao G was lucky he was alive. He was stripped of the privileges of ever getting to watch Luffy on his own again. Not only had he suffered that insult, to rub the salt in he had been beaten the hell out of and didn't dare interact with the rest of the family for the time being. In an incredibly rare act of mercy, Lao G hadn't been kicked out. No, Doflamingo understood once he had calmed down that the man had made a mistake, a massive one, but still, it had been a mistake. He hadn't lost Luffy through malice. But because of foolishness.
Lao G needed to understand, though, that Luffy was Doflamingo's life and that being a family meant acting like one. Doflamingo needed some time to calm down and Lao G needed some time away from all of them to properly feel the weight of his mistakes. Ones that the young alpha would never forgive happening again. Ever. Doflamingo would not have even thought to give him a second chance if even a hair on his boy's head had been hurt, the additional revenue and crewmate had softened him just the slightest amount to. Just tipping him towards mercy.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Doflamingo was equal parts excited and nervous. In less than 3 hours, they would be making land and he would finally be able to see his Pretty again! He longed to see that beautiful face and to hear that growly voice of his. To see that cute cute face flush with embarrassment, to listen to him moan in ecstasy and to have Crocodile grumbling at him too. He missed every bit of the other man from that crocodile smile of a scar to those fuck me eyes. His Croc was perfect!
The man couldn't help but bounce his knees in impatience. Luffy was napping, all sprawled out under his favorite toy again. So Doflamingo couldn't really use him as a distraction like he usually would. Though it wasn't like the blond hadn't spent hours watching the pup sleep before. Luffy was, of course, too adorable not to. Still, Doflamingo felt entirely too jittery to be able to focus on much of anything at that time. Besides, his Sweetness needed all the sleep that he could get before making land. The day was going to be quite a bit more hectic than Doflamingo's little Treasure was used to after all! Well… more hectic in a different away than the circus that was their family.
The alpha stood up and wondered to his closet mirror. Adjusting his shirt and tie. He then grabbed his brush and ran it through his hair a few times, grimacing at himself. Why was he even brushing his hair? This was the 3rd time in an hour! He needed to find something else to distract himself with. Ugh, the man hoped Croco adored Luffy! He didn't know what he would do with himself if his Pretty didn't like his pup. The thought was unimaginable to the blond, but Doflamingo didn't want to get blindsided either and do something he may regret on reflex.
With a sigh, Doflamingo glanced around the room and decided to clean up a bit. He had become far more lenient with messiness than he ever had been before finding Luffy. The man being a bit of a neat freak after being forced to survive in a dump for a good portion of his childhood. The only things really lying around were Luffy's and for some reason, if it was the pup's toys and things, it didn't really set him on edge like clutter normally would. Doflamingo actually, usually, had a comforted feeling when surrounded by his pup's stuff. Now everything was making the alpha so anxious he could hardly sit still!
Petting absently at one of the few stuffed toys Luffy had, Doflamingo let the scent settle him and, after, put the toys in their drawer. Then, he made his way back to the couch and sprawled over it, easily reaching his Sweetness. The man pet affectionately at the sleeping infant's feathery black hair. He smiled when the pup reflexively leaned into his loving pets, making little chirpy sounds and sniffling cutely. Even asleep, his Lu-Lu knew just what to do to settle the blond's nerves and have him smiling. Oh, his boy was just so perfect! Croco would have to be a monster worse than any other not to love his Treasure!
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Doflamingo hadn't been pleased when they arrived at the island and clearly, Crocodile and his crew weren't there. Crocodile had been far closer than Doflamingo and they should have been there at least 5 days sooner. The Flamingo mantled captain's crew had been happy that they got to chose where they wanted to stay, though.
After a few hours of waiting around the Bur-Bur, sounds of a Den-den Mushi called out.
"Yes?" Doflamingo answered with a grouchy frown, like he so often was, the man was sprawled out over the comfortable couch with his Luffy. Irritation filled him at having to talk to someone. He would like to be able to cuddle and sulk in peace, thank you very much!
"Damn it, Flamingo! I've been trying to get ahold of you!" The Den-Den Mushi snarled.
"Croco!~ I was so sad when you didn't come out to greet me! You should have been here days ago." The blond exclaimed, smiling near the beginning then pouting as he finished.
"Yeah, well we had to shake off not only some marines, but not one, not two, or even three, but four different crews with probably 10 ships between them all, insisted that we were trespassing and the Donquixote family was going to be pissed off if they let us through! They were too damn stupid to get that we were invited or even to try and call you and instead, they all tried taking us out. At the very same time, we were being chased by two marine vessels one carrying Garp the fucking hero, of all people!" The Den-den Mushi ranted, face a mixture between pissed and tired.
"Thankfully, the assholes got in a skirmish and we managed to get away, but we had to head to Ma'lidde Ten-Beach for some quick repairs. Bastard, that gods damned Garp threw cannonballs at my ship with his own hands like-like be was playing dodgeball with my ship! I'm lucky no one got seriously injured, the asshole!" Crocodile huffed. The den-den Mushi's eyes narrowed. "This shindig better be worth all the trouble I've gone through, got it?"
"Of course, Pretty! I'll even pay for your ship to get a good look over and some real nice repairs! Nothing but the best for my Croco!~ The best food and the best clothes, the softest fabrics, the best ships, gold and jewels, anything my Croco wants." Doflamingo purred, smiling even as his anxiety skyrocketed over his Pretty. A vain began throbbing in his forehead at the sheer rage he was feeling. How had all of that happened and he hadn't even known? If Garp hadn't already taken care of those idiots…. Well, they would be wishing that he had, long before Doflamingo was anywhere near done with them.
"You better! Remember, I'm not just some cheap whore! I've got standards, especially after this shit show!" Crocodile grumbled, the Den-Den Mushi's face turning a bit hostile and red.
"Don't worry, your sugar daddy will make things right!~" Doflamingo crooned, tone coy.
Crocodile guffed, "Don't say crap like that! How many times do I have ta' tell you? I'm not a fucking Sugar baby! Don't call yourself stuff like that. It's creepy! I'm older than you are!"
"So? I don't mind being your daddy.~"
"Shut up, you freak! Ugh, so disturbing, why do I even put up with this?"
"Fufufu! Because I'm pretty~ and rich and I'm the best fuck you'll ever find….. and… I adore you."
"Ugh! Shut up, you Flamingo bastard! You don't even know me… I-Will be there in about maybe two or three hours. Meet me at that restaurant you were going on about… I need a good fuck after the week I've had, so you better be up for it, you pervert!" Crocodile grumbled, hanging up before Doflamingo could say another word.
"Fufufufufu! Oh, Luffy, your mommy's so easy to fluster, isn't he? Fufu, he's just so much fun to rile up! I think I love him more every time he does that, the guy that's supposed to be so aloof all the time…" Doflamingo snickered half swooning over the pissed off way the other man had spoken to him. "He's in denial!~"
Big dark eyes stared up at the blond, looking strangely focused and serious. "Don't you think he's just so cute, Treasure?~" The blond crooned, lighting up when Luffy's face lit up into a happy grin that had Doflamingo gathering him up and nuzzling all over that adorable little face, completely disregarding the drool the pup was making and had been making far more often in larger amounts as of late. Ugh, his boy was so perfect! He was such a good good pup! So cute! There wasn't a pup that could ever come close to how wonderful and perfect and adorable; his sweet little Treasure was! The young alpha was so excited to show him off to his Pretty!
"Hey, Doffy! I heard your conversation with Crocodile. Do you think that those idiots are still alive after Garp, hmm, Doffy? Do you think we'll get to deal with a few of them? That'll be fun, won't it Doffy? Bwehehehe!" Trebol exclaimed, a dark grin on his face. The Donquixote family wasn't one to disobey or to be embarrassed by some pathetic nobody underlings.
"Probably not…. But if there are any… Fufufufu, well… Once Garp's left the area… we'll have quite the good time, won't we?" Doflamingo mused, grin just as cruel on his own face at the thoughts of what he would do to the survivors for upsetting his Pretty.
"Uh, Doffy? He's on your face again."
"I know."
"He's drooling."
"He's been doing that a lot more lately."
"Just wanted to make sure you knew since you have to go on your date soon….."
"Luffy's easier to cuddle this way. You should know this by now."
Trebol gave the blond a raised eyebrow before giving up on trying to point out how weird that was even to him. HIM.
"Well, you should probably give him to Senior Pink or Vergo now so you can get ready."
"Yeah, can't have my Lu come with me if I'm going to be fucking my Pretty, can I?" Doflamingo snickered.
"No, and if you planned to, we would have stepped in anyways. Parents need time alone sometimes." Vergo grumbled, already making grabby motions.
"You just want to get to cuddle Luffy.~" Doflamingo teased.
"Maybe."
"Definitely!" Trebol snickered.
"He's very cute." The man said defensively.
"Bwehahah! Diamante and Jora are going to be so jealous!~"
"I still can't believe Diamante of all people has gotten so attached. Fufu, I expected he would to some degree, of course, Luffy's too sweet to not love, but he practically gets googly-eyed over him!"
"I think, it was more he was outraged that Luffy didn't want to be held by him at first and it eventually turned into desperation from offence and as it's Luffy he had no choice but to eventually adore him and all of that desperation and offence converted into love for our little nephew." Vergo stated, smiling a little when Doflamingo handed over his tiny pup, who let out a startled squeak and pouted up at him.
"No, you have to stay with your Auntie and Uncles for a bit Sweetness. Daddy and Mommy need to spend some alone time together." Doflamingo cooed. Grimacing at the scowl, he got from the pup then the sad whimper Luffy let loose as the man got up to go clean back up.
"Don't even think about it, young master. There are three things you don't ever do as a man, first go back on your word, secondly allow anyone to trample on your pride, and thirdly leave a beautiful lady (or in your case, man) waiting for any reason. Making your date wait or, even worse, standing him up, is worse than spitting in his face. You won't deserve him if you don't do what you can to make sure he understands how special he is to you through actions, not words. Words can be cheap, but impressions are forever." Senior Pink lectured, giving his captain a stern look. "By the way, I ordered some of those cigars you said he liked so much a few weeks ago that he complained about having such a hard time getting ahold of." The man said, sitting down a nicely polished wood box with gold leaf on the top. "I thought it would be a nice gift for you to give him. I think that this is especially true with everything that has happened to him in the last week."
"Fufu, he'll be so happy!" Doflamingo exclaimed, grinning ear to ear in happiness. He had been so busy that ordering the surprise had slipped his mind. If the others weren't careful, Pink might start to become a little favored… At least when it came to matters involving wooing, the blond's Pretty. It wasn't like the others had even the tiniest bit of experience with that department anyway. He was pretty sure more than one of them was Asexual or at least Aromantic and that wasn't exactly conducive to helping with navigating the sort of relationship he was interested in. Honestly, thank all that was the holy land when it came to Trebol. He didn't think he could handle watching any trainwreck that a relationship between the man and someone weird enough to date or mate with him would turn out being.
"Sir Crocodile will be expecting you to meet up with him in about an hour, so you should probably hurry." Vergo reminded his captain, forcing the man to ignore the indignant babbling Luffy grumbled at the blond. "We can take care of Luffy just fine while you go have fun with your… Boyfriend."
"Alright, alright, fufufu, I can get a hint.~"
00000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Croco Pretty! I missed you!" Doflamingo crooned, eagerly darting over to the other man and nuzzling his face into the crook of the shorter man's shoulder.
"Get off me! I didn't give you permission to scent me! Stinking me up like we're together or something!" Crocodile huffed, crossing his arms, he glared at the blond.
Doflamingo's smile twitched ever so slightly before going full force again, almost straining as he pulled out the box of cigars Senior Pink had gotten for him to give his Croco.
"Did you literally just pull those out of your jacket's feathers?" The brunet asked, eying the pink mantle with an incredulous look.
"What? No?"
"But I just saw- "
"I have pockets."
"Uhuh….." Crocodile muttered, looking completely unconvinced, eying the pink monstrosity.
Deciding it wasn't worth the argument, Doflamingo shoved the box in the other man's face, looking entirely pleased with himself. "Look what I got for you, Pretty!"
"Oh, that's the brand I like." Crocodile muttered, his tense body language easing up ever so slightly. "These aren't easy to get."
Doflamingo preened, leading the man into the restaurant. "I told you, my Pretty wouldn't want for anything!" He snickered at the way Crocodile huffed his cute face slightly red, clearly, he was pleased.
"Huh, nicer than I was expecting."
"What, do you think I would take you somewhere trashy? I knew that you would love it here because this is my very favorite restaurant in the area! Nothing but the best for you! Fufu!" Doflamingo said, the wait staff were leading the pair to a private room, placing menus in front of them, and placing a large basket of freshly baked muffins and bread in front of them before a word had to be spoken.
"Ugh, I haven't ate all day! Stop that! Let me at least butter my muffin before you start feeling me up." Crocodile grumbled, pushing the blond way from his neck. "So damn hungry. Damn butter!" The man growled, trying his best to cut his piping hot muffin in half with only his hand. He wasn't having much luck.
"My poor Croco! Doesn't your crew feed you? Here, let me take care of that." Doflamingo crooned, buttering up the muffin in 2 seconds flat.
"Thanks…. I guess." Crocodile huffed.
"Fufu, of course! You want another one, Pretty?" Doflamingo asked, preening over so slightly as the other man eagerly wolfed down the buttered muffin with a satisfied look.
Swallowing, Crocodile nodded. "Yeah, two, actually." The man said mood seeming to be much lighter.
"Of course, whatever you like." Doflamingo agreed, nearly purring in happiness at getting to feed his cute Croco. He had to be careful with those sorts of behaviors though, his Pretty was still too skittish to be overly affectionate in a mated sort of way. But instincts were instincts and the blond was sure he could figure out a way to use Croco's to lean in his favor.

"Well, hello, everyone! You must be the Donquixote executives! I'm Bentham, This is handsome fellow is Daz, and this beauty is Ms. Zala! Oh, I'm so excited! Our captain having a love life!" A tall, slender dark-haired man with a rounded haircut, naturally blushed cheeks, cherry red lipstick and heavy teal eyeshadow cheerfully exclaimed, cupping his hands over his heart in a swoon. A wide grin took up the man's face, giving him a friendly though, possibly somewhat crazed look. He wore a navy blue button-up with what looked to be swans embroidered into it as well, along with powder pink slacks and a pair of comfortable-looking simple black slip ons.
"Bentham, stop jumping around, you're an adult, aren't you?" The introduced, Daz, growled, scratching at his silvery hair in irritation. He sported a simple dark tunic style shirt with a long-sleeved undershirt and some loose pants.
"Daz, just leave Bentham alone. There's no point." The blue-haired woman scolded. She herself was wearing skin-tight black leather pants with a leather crop top and a biker style leather jacket.
"There's only one room left. You'll have to go next door." Jora insisted from her seat between Gladius and Lao G, eying the three, that had waltzed right in, with a frown. Especially that girl. No way she would trust her near their sweet, impressionable Lu-Lu, she was the only Auntie figure in his life and it would stay that way! Though… The angry-looking guy didn't look like he could be trusted either. The Bentham fellow at least seemed friendlier. That and he hadn't grumbled about the young master and his Crocodile being together. He seemed the most normal out of the three, so maybe she should-
"Oh! What a nice room! This will work perfectly for me, look at that, all antiques, how lovely!~ Ah, and these bed's sheets, how exquisite!" A happy voice sang out.
"Padro, Philipe, would you be dears and help me bring in my things? Tell Cricket that we'll have some of that delicious smelling Northern Blue stuffed crust Pizza and spaghetti from that lovely place we went by.~ I know everyone wanted to try some for a while, but we were just too busy before! Now we are starting our vacation, it wouldn't hurt for everyone to get to splurge a little. Though remember, we must not allow ourselves to indulge too much or all the effort we put into better ourselves would be wasted!" The man said, walking back into the kitchen area.
"Of course!" The pair, previously unnoticed, happily exclaimed. Evident admiration on the pair's faces. "We'll get enough for everyone!"
"Well, we'll just head over to the next house over if you have everything handled here," Daz grumbled, rolling his eyes at the man's antics.
"Of course! Go get a good room before the other's get the same idea!" Bentham said, amicably. Already working on grabbing his luggage.
After settling in all of his stuff and slipping off his shoes, the man walked back to the kitchen. Grabbing a glass of water, he turned back to three, still sitting at the island. "So where's everyone else? I thought that there were supposed to be more of you?"
"Busy." The bright-haired woman grumbled.
"You're just jealous that we get to spend the night with Lu while you decided to take that cute little cottage for yourself without thinking about the consequences!" The spiky white-haired, Gladius mocked.
"It's perfect for painting!" The woman huffed defensively, even as clear regret painted her face.
"Well, then, you can't complain! You don't even have to listen to Pica's snoring." Lao G grumbled. Already looking pretty exhausted as is.
"Your just lucky the young master was merciful enough that he isn't making you sleep right outside of his chambers tonight after we nearly lost poor Lu because of you!" Jora sniped.
"Hey, look at what I got!" A voice full of childish joy bellowed. Barreling through the door, Buffalo stopped in front of the group and pointing at the brand new yellow sweater he was wearing along with his new striped beanie hat, high-end sneakers, and dark green, almost black overalls. "I got some other stuff too!~ Senior Pink said I had to have something nice for Blackjack Coastal and Mr. Vergo and Diamante said I had to have some stuff of my own, so they got all this stuff for me! I'm so happy!~" The boy fidgeted, grinning proudly at the other's.
"Remember, those need to be hung our they will get all wrinkled and a man never wears a wrinkled suit less he wishes to give up on his pride completely." Senior Pink told the boy.
Buffalo nodded, "I'll put them away right now so I won't forget! Dasuyan!" He eagerly darting to his chosen room to put the stuff away nicely, just like the man said. He had never had anything so nice in his life let alone expensive so he wanted to make sure it would last as long as possible.
"Oh, who was that? Who are all of them? Bentham asked, startled by how tall everyone coming in was.
"Diamante, Senior Pink, Vergo and the one that ran by was our newest crewmate, Buffalo. He's tall, but he's just 10 still, so don't mind him too much. He can be a bit abrasive without meaning it." Jora explained, pointing out each member as they came in.
"10?" Bentham mumbled, looking and sounding a bit startled.
Everyone getting oddly tense as the Diamante fellow went to sit in the Living Room adjacent from the Kitchen, looking stressed and rocking strangely.
"Lu-Lu's been in a bad mood!~ Hehe, and Diamante's no good with him, but he won't let anyone else have him!" Buffalo snickered, peaking around the hallway's doorframe. "Huh, who's this guy? Oh, oh, someone's at the door! Dasuyan!" The boy exclaimed, nearly knocking everyone over on his way to answer the knocking.
"Hey, it's some guys with pizza boxes!" Buffalo shouted unnecessarily, moving out of the way when Bentham made his way over. "Sorry, uh… sir?... Um, we were told the Donquixote family and their guests needed some food. We could only carry this much, but we promise that we'll be back with the rest as soon as we can be! We're pretty short-staffed since the order was so large." A young man hurriedly explained, looking like a total wreck.
"Oh, don't sweat it! As long as you're trying your hardest, no one will fault you for being a little behind! I honestly wasn't expecting anything for at least another half an hour, so you all must be doing your best! Here, please split this between you all. I'm sure you'll be earning it by the end of tonight." Bentham insisted, smiling in his half-crazed half kind way as he forcibly placed a bundle of money in the young man's hand, then grabbed the Pizza's and closed the door before any protests could be made from either side.
"There we are!"
"Yay! I was getting super hungry." Buffalo said, grinning. He paused right before going to open up a small table-sized box. "I-Wait… we can all eat it…. Right?"
Bentham frowned at the boy's sudden nervous hesitation and much more subdued voice before smiling and reaching up to ruffle the boy's beany clad head. "Of course you can. It's for everyone!" The man had exclaimed, getting Buffalo's face to light up again.
"Yay! I'm gonna' eat so much I'll be so full I'll get all sleepy!" The boy cheered.
Bentham made sure to load the alpha pup's plate, so he didn't accidentally make a mess with his exuberance and insisted that he sat at the table with a napkin. It didn't take long for the others to start filling their plates, sitting down at the long table sitting across the room from the kitchen instead of parallel like the living room area… sort of did. Not only had they started to eat, but the crew had warmed up a bit to him. He was just strange enough that the whole bunch of them hadn't had him running for the hills like most adults often did. However, he hadn't met Trebol and Pica yet as both had opted to take naps before the inevitable meltdown Luffy was surely going to go through that night. Luffy rarely left Doflamingo's side after all, especially to sleep.
It was right as everyone that was awake, excluding Diamante, that had just sat down to eat their first plate full of deep dish, stuffed crust pizza, when an angry-sounding wailing sob ripped through everyone's eardrums unpleasantly. The infantile wail absolutely wasn't taking no for an answer, rattling everyone's brains and souring the pleasant, almost playful atmosphere that had previously cemented the table full of pirates in a decidedly good mood.
Bentham was on his feet before anyone could try to stop him… though a few were already too focused on their pizza to really even notice the man had left the dining corner. They were more than used to trying to wait out the pup's cries when he smelled food.
Bentham melted at the sight of a red-faced teary-eyed pup being held by a very distressed Diamante, who was trying his best to comfort and shush him.
"Come on, Lu, you know you can't have anything like that yet!" He grumbled as Luffy made hungry merps and whines, at the delicious smells of meat and cheese that filled the air, between full-bodied wails and angry arching, trying to wiggle from the man's fumbling hands. He yelped as the pup was snatched from him and let out a fierce growl that was completely ignored. Something the massive man wasn't really sure how to deal with.
"Oh, sweetie! Are you hungry?" Bentham cooed with a bright smile, securely holding the angry infant with two hands and rocking to try and soothe him. He shot a disapproving look at a hostile looking Diamante. "Why haven't you fed this precious angel? He's clearly hungry! How did you expect this sweetie to react when he smells food? Isn't that right? Oh, look at those tears, you poor little dear!" The man huffed, going into full out parental mode at the sight and scent of such an unhappy little baby.
"Excuse me, I'm his uncle, Doffy trusts us to know our Lu-Lu enough to know if he's hungry or not. It's trickery! Luffy has a Metabolic disease that makes him need to eat a lot all of the time, but it wasn't caught until he was already 3 months old, so he still doesn't understand when he's actually hungry or not when he smells food." Diamante snarled, entirely defensive at that point.
"Well, we should let him decide if he's hungry or not! Only an alpha and a man would think he could just tell someone they aren't hungry! Especially a baby, totally ridiculous!" The slender man grumbled.
Pausing a moment, Bentham's eyes went wide. "W-Wait… Doffy….. Are you saying that Doflamingo has a pup?" The brunet sputtered, the smell of dangerous, intimidating alpha/claim and possessiveness absolutely slathering the slightly calmer acting pup.
"Bwehehe! Of course, Lu-Lu's Doffy's! Huh? Why are you holding our Lu-Lu? Huh?" Trebol growled, eying Bentham with a dangerous sneer. "Why is this stranger holding Lu-Lu?"
The pup clearly only smelled of the others and the man, so it didn't seem like Doflamingo was in a relationship with anyone else and from the way he had heard him fawning over his captain, it didn't seem like the other man was only in it for the physical benefits. Doflamingo, from the little that he had heard about him and from him during his eavesdropping…. Errr, trips to grab cleaning supplies…. The man wasn't the type to give his heart easily at all and had been totally loyal to Crocodile from the moment he saw him. It was so romantic! I love at first sight sort of story.
"Yeah, and you better not ruin his chances with Crocodile with false assumptions or rumors! He's never liked anyone this way and if his heart gets broken, especially over our sweet little Lu…"
"Excuse me? Get to know me before making assumptions! I'm a fool, but I'm not stupid." Bentham guffed in clear offense. "Besides, I'm just so excited that I'm an Auntie now! Yes, I am! Your just the cutest little thing, aren't you?" Bentham babbled, stars in his eyes at the somewhat quieted, sniffling Luffy.
"What?! Your not his Aunt, I am!" Jora screeched, totally outraged that someone thought they could take her place so easily! The others had joined without those in the living space area even noticing things had started getting so intense.
"Nope, I'm his Auntie now. He can have two Aunties and we can be great friends!" Bentham insisted. "Besides, he needs me, a clear feminine energy in his life. I mean, no wonder he's all stressed out! Not a single other omega in his life! Having to deal with all of your Alpha pheromones and posturing, I'd be tense too!" Bentham exclaimed, snuggling the pup who let out a little nervous but friendly sound no longer crying all that much. "I'm so excited! I've always loved children! They're so sweet and don't have the prejudices that adults do!" The infant let out another hungry little merp, tone pleading. "Oh, sorry sweetie, Auntie Bon will get you something! Where's his bottles and formula?"
"How?"
"Right? It isn't fair!"
"How did he get Lu to stop crying? It must be a devil fruit power!"
"Now Lu's smiling! Without Doffy?"
The group looked on in fascination and jealousy. How dare this upstart just waltz on in and monetize their sweet cute little nephew's attention like that? Who did he think he was? It wasn't fair! And how could Luffy seem to like him so much? Clearly, the man was bribing him!... somehow…
Diamante 'didn't' pout at all when the others glared at him after Luffy had, indeed, been hungry and had veraciously guzzled down two bottles. He had fed the pup less than three hours beforehand. How was he supposed to know if Luffy was actually hungry or not? Doffy usually went about three sometimes even 4 hours without feeding Luffy! He would sometimes hear him talking to the pup in the middle of the night. Clearly the world was working against him on this one!
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Croco~ Come on, let me play with it! I wanna' make you knot! Let me-let me!" Doflamingo whined, eagerly nipping at finely haired thighs.
"No! That'll hurt!" The brunet panted, "I'm too fucking worked up!"
"fufu, I'll squeeze it real nice for you. Let you screw my fist so well. Feel so good~ Fucking my hand, make you knot it while I rut you so right. Make my Pretty shudder and tighten and beg for my dick while your pretty cock spurts up all that pent up want. Won't that feel so nice? Don't you want to feel so good?" Doflamingo purred, his eyes practically glowing in the dark.
"No, no nooooo! It's-It's too much, too 'uch you bastard, bastard!" Crocodile whined, cringing as the larger man forced his defending hand away and began jerking at that purple weeping erection that twitched and drooled so cutely for him. Swirling that mushroom tip and rolling his pads against the oozing head until the brunet let out a broken sound.
"See Pretty? I'm just taking care of what's mine. If you stayed with me, you could get fucked like this all the time. Wouldn't that feel so good? Being pampered and milked anytime you like? Loved so sweetly.~ Fufufu, I'd give you the world if that's what you wanted." Doflamingo crooned, honey-sweet, nuzzling almost gently at the other man's neck.
The blond couldn't help but to eye that spot as he spoke. The little telltale bumps that helped identify where he would need to bite if they were to become a breeding, or well, mated pair. The temptation to bite was nearly overwhelming, but Doflamingo refrained, though only because his sweet lovely Pretty was being so very perfect under him. Those beautiful washboard abbs stuttering and trembling under his fingers, drool starting down the overstimulated man's chin. Those pretty pretty dark eyes so glazed and wanting, looking at him like he was salvation, he was a god at the moment to this usually aloof man. This stoic man he had so close to tears he shook with the effort to control them, being edged for so long. Unraveling so beautifully under him. Crocodile was living art. "So beautiful.~"
"Shut up, you fetishy flamingo fuck!" Crocodile tensed, suddenly trying to push Doflamingo off of him. Completely catching the young alpha off guard, though, the man didn't allow the brunet to escape him.
"I'm-I'm like a fucking cock sock! I can't have any god damn babies, I don't have anything past my goddamn hoo-haa, got a half-ass knot that can't even make cum, and wasn't even able to be born with a proper secondary gender! I am a freaky omega/alpha amalgamation! Don't you ever say I'm beautiful again! I'm not beautiful! I'm not! I'm a fucking fetish! Lying bastard!"
The stupid Flamingo really hadn't been lying the first time they met when he said he was great in the sack nor when he had told him that he could go for hours without pause. He had to be lying about really liking him, though!
Crocodile didn't know what to even think of the other man who, even after seeing him…. Properly being able to scent him, see what a mess of nature he was. How could Doflamingo still called him pretty and cute and eagerly fucked him with that damn smitten look and with an enthralled scent that clung as strongly as those handsy octopus arms! It all felt so good and it was too much! Too too much, he couldn't deal with it anymore.
Those fucking brick red eyes, with that weird kind of humanizing splash of pale, almost white blue that marbled almost cutely with the red in that left eye, looking at him like he hung the moon and the stars. Like he, Crocodile, was beautiful and like Doflamingo might actually wanted him for him. It hurt, Crocodile hated it!
The brunet let out a grunt as those hips snapped forward and the blond's beast of a cock rocked back into him before freezing. Crocodile yelped, hissing as that previously teasing hand tightened almost unbearably and suddenly, the man's whole weight was on him. He couldn't get away no matter how much he tried activating his devil fruit!
Doflamingo went stone-faced at the other man's words, his frown positively menacing. "Don't you ever say anything like that again. And don't you ever try telling me how I should or do feel about you, got it?" Doflamingo snarled quietly, a furious edge to his tone. Instead of feeling safe, like he previously found himself feeling in the man's arms, Crocodile found himself feeling caged, suffocated even. "You're not allowed to say anything like that about yourself again, EVER. If I think you're beautiful, then you are. I don't like my things, my family, being belittled or insulted…. I never liked you because of some fucked up fetish. I like you because you are you, you're beautiful and smart and ruthless. You're also the only one I've ever wanted for more than a quick fuck! I've got impeccable taste, so you insulting yourself is an insult to me, got it pretty?" The man whispered.
"You shouldn't say such mean things when you don't mean them because…. I'm not going anywhere." The Doflamingo whispered dangerously, tightening his grip to painful degrees. Scent and eyes and everything screaming love and obsession and possessiveness and his, HIS. "I might start to think you might not actually like me as much as I like you and I don't think you'll like what happens if you hurt me like that."
Leaning down, Doflamingo gave Crocodile's shoulder a sweet kiss before clamping his mouth around it with a possessive dominating growl. The blond just barely resisting putting enough pressure to pierce the man's glands. Getting a hiss from the other man. His scent clearly souring from anxiety.
"Aren't you going to finish me off, you Flamingo bastard? My dick feels like it wants to split in two!" Crocodile managed to complain. With those words, it was like a spell had broken and Doflamingo let go and he was back to cuddling instead of caging and Crocodile felt like he would get whiplash from the sudden change.
"Don't scowl like that, Pretty! Fufu, cute lovelies should smile! ~ I like you happy.~" Doflamingo purred, affectionately nuzzling the brooding brunet, then peppered the other man's cute face with kisses. Gathering those slender legs back up and playing with the other man's weeping tip. That warm wet heat between those fold, petting and kissing and squeezing him so right! In and out, in and out of that tightness. The brunet's cheeks getting nice and red again, flush with lust and those naturally heavy eyelids making his Croco look even more fuckable, giving Doflamingo the most sultry bedroom eyes he had ever seen.
"Good, good, my Croco~ So pretty an' warm, ganna burst!" Doflamingo was back to groaning in minutes, already close to cumming before the mood had been damaged, panting in the other man's ear as his groin tightened with every moan and squelch and slurp he heard grinding as deep as he could "Yes yes yes!" Doflamingo babbled, forcing more and more of his weight on the other man, instinctively pinning him in place as he felt his knot begin to fill.
Ignoring Crocodile's squirming, he forced himself crotch to crotch with the other man, eyes rolling back as he fully locked and Crocodile's insides went to town on him. "Yes yes, my good pretty, so so good! Suck it suck my cock all down, every last drop! Milk me! I'm your's. It's all for you!" Doflamingo groaned, glazed eyes focusing on that bright purple cock.
"Dof-Doffy, please! I need to, I-Let me cum! It hurts shit Please, I need it!"
Doflamingo grinned, snatching up the other man's sacks and gave them a few quick, brutal squeezes giggling, dazed at the strangled little shout the other man made, and gave the other Crocodile's tip a little twist before completely letting up on the painful looking organ.
"Gods, shit shit shit! Too much, grab it!" Crocodile squeaked, cock slapping against his belly and spurting clear fluid in a messy arch across both of their bellies.
"Good boy Croco. So good." Doflamingo praised, handing onto the other man for dear life as his insides went wild, milking and fluttering and squeezing so good until the blond became dizzy. By the time Crocodile's knot would settle, there wouldn't be a sing drop left to give in Doflamingo for hours.
By the end of it, Crocodile was an incoherent mess of instinct and wrung out hormones more omegan leaning than Alphan. Nipples red and puffy, cum and pre-ejaculate covered and completely debouched, crotch gaping and puffy, dripping thick sticky white, eyes rolling around in his skull from the hormone high Doflamingo had induced. He was beautiful. Stuffing his tongue in that slick hole, Tasting them mixed all together had the young alpha purring and Crocodile sniffling and desperately trying to close his legs.
"Fufufu, alright, alright! I'll clean you up no more tonight." Doflamingo chuckled, grabbing the bowl and washrags that he had all ready and headed to the bathroom. Coming back, he cleaned the other man and lifted him up. Using his string powers to strip away the dirty bedding and sent it down a chute to be laundered. Doflamingo smirked at clean sheets below. Already having an idea of what would happen that night, he was more than prepared for it.
The blond's Croco was so calm and sweet when he was hormone drunk!~ He hardly did more than grumble in discomfort while Doflamingo sorted everything out and adjusted everything to be nice and warm and comfortable once he laid the tuckered out man back down. Cleaning himself off with a quick shower, the blond was more than ready to go to sleep… or at least he was until he actually laid down and there was no Luffy. He'd….. just go and check on him.
Checking on the baby, of course, equaled bringing him back to the ship with him.
Doflamingo sighed happily. His Croco was purring, cuddled up to one side of him while his retrieved Treasure, fed and warm, was cuddled against the opposite side of his neck. Everything was now right in his world. At least… as right as it could be for now. The alpha forced away any thoughts that had to do with what his Pretty had shouted earlier. He would let it go for now, until he could figure out exactly how to deal with the outburst. Clearly, someone had deeply hurt he beautiful Croco if he thought of himself that way.

Waking up, Crocodile hadn't been expecting to be staring in the dark eyes of something tiny and squirmy and entirely too close to his face. "What the hell?" The man's incredulous growl was met answered with a curious meep and some babbling. Where did a baby come from? Where did Gods damn, Flamingo bastard, go? "What are you doing here, kid?" The man grumbled, hissing a little as he adjusted the way he was lying to sit up a bit more. His everything hurt. He might need a whole iceberg to shove up his crotch! Ugh, felt like he had been rodded by a damn giant, the bastard!
The pup snuggled in, just under his chin merping and yawning cutely those eyelids getting heavy as the pup clearly struggled with staying awake. It smelled of Doflamingo and something sweet and soft under all of that and a part of him crooned in want at the little thing. Mellowed by omegan hormones still, running their course. Crocodile couldn't help but to… not…. Dislike the pup. "Whatever, we'll just deal with this latter. I'm too tired to deal with this crap." The man grumbled, getting a sweet little mewl from the pup when he ran his hand over the pup's back. If he felt his heart quiver a little bit at the display, it wasn't like it was anyone's business but his own.
After waking up again, the pup still snuggled up had Crocodile smiling a small smile. The infant was completely sprawled across his chest now, hair wild and little arms hugging his hand to its chest. Clinging like a baby monkey. "You're a strange little thing, aren't you?"
"Just like he knows and loves his daddy, he knows his mommy! Fufu, Luffy's picky, but I knew he'd love you!~" Doflamingo snickered.
"Mommy? I'm never going to be anyone's Mommy! I'm going to be a Papa!" Crocodile hissed, glaring the other man down.
Doflamingo lit up, grinning ear to ear and looked half lovesick.
"Wait, what the hell am I even saying? I don't even know this brat! I hate brats!" Crocodile snarled, face turning a little red as Doflamingo eyed him and snorted disbelievingly. Pointedly eying how the other man had seemingly subconsciously cuddled the pup closer and even had his hand rubbing up and down the pup's back soothingly. "I do you, flamingo bastard!"
"Here." The blond said, smirking and forcing the other man to hold the prepared bottle he had been holding. "If you aren't charmed, then you'll be able to feed him without any issues.~"
"Fine, you lazy bastard."
He shouldn't have agreed, he shouldn't have! The pup was bringing up all sorts of feelings better buried. Gluttonous and cheerful and so incredibly cute and so so tiny! He didn't even find himself bothered, instead, feeling strangely endeared when the pup began to curiously pat at the scar on his face. He ignored Doflamingo's clear beaming joy at seeing Luffy somehow managing to force down a lifetime worth of barriers. It wasn't like he liked the pup or anything! He just wasn't going to be mean to a kid is all. Especially an infant. Even he wasn't that much of a bastard.
"I'm not going to co-parent with a bastard like you! Urgh, besides, you can't just spring a pup on a guy like that! You at least have to buy him a drink; first, this isn't how any of this goes!" Crocodile growled out eventually. Swatting away wondering hands.
"But I just explained to you how I found him and how I had to make sure you both liked each other and made sure you were the right one. Lu clearly agrees with my choices."
"Shut up, you flamingo! I'm a seasoned pirate, you aren't going to butter me up with those sweet words of yours!" Crocodile hissed, hugging the pup and blankets closer to himself.
" I already told you, I'm not going to waste my time telling my pretty frivolously lies." Doflamingo teased. "Besides, how can anyone say no to that cute little face of his?"
"I don't care! Don't bring Luffy into this!" The brunet growled, pulling the pup defensively to himself.
"See, you do like him!"
"Shut up, you flea-bitten mongrel! I hate you!" Crocodile hissed.
"Umhum…. Well, that's too bad because I love you, Lu-Lu does too!~" Doflamingo purred. Going into a full-blown laugh at the strangled sound the other man made. He would never get tired of messing with his cute Croco. The sounds and faces he made weren't only adorable but hilarious!
End Chapter 7
So yay, Luffy finally meets Croco and I couldn't help but add Bentham. At first, I wasn't sure, but Bentham ended up being such a great person and I really loved him! I'm calling them a he because they are oftentimes called or considered more of a he than a she in the anime. But I am 100% for genderfluid Bentham and feel like he's going to be really interesting to figure out with the secondary genders involved to. I don't know I can just see him loving kids and kind of having a weird but nurturing side to him and Luffy has such a sunny personality that I think Bentham would orbit around it pretty easily.
I have been very busy lately, so I may have to start updating Bi-Weekly and I am very sorry if I do. I am getting quite a bit of homework piled on and I am having trouble keeping up with writing so much for this story and doing all of my illustration classes. I will try to warn everyone beforehand if there are going to be any delays. These warnings will likely be over my Facebook page and through my replies to the comments that I have received.
Please review! I have gotten some of the most amazing ideas for this story from my reviewers and I have actually used these ideas and plan to. You guys have managed to motivate me to write about 6000-10000 words a week since starting this story and have really brought back my desire to write again, so thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I'm actually having fun again and I'm really loving writing this story and talking to everyone!
So we are still voting who you want Luffy with, so please tell me if you haven't voted.
