~Finally got around to posting this. Thanks so much for all the MarcoAce requests. But please PM them to me rather than leaving them in the reviews. It's easier for me to find them that way and I won't forget them. Thanks always for taking the time to read.

Sir Crocodile sat behind his desk sorting through various documents that needed to be looked over, read, and eventually signed. The room was more or less calm, light filtered through the bananawani tank casting an ethereal glow across the room. The occasional splash from the tank was the only disturbance.
There was also a slight buzzing in his ear. He wasn't sure its cause and it wasn't quite annoying enough for him to lose focus. Yet.
The buzzing turned pink and flew through the auction house of Sabaody before turning on its head and fluttered through a field of blood stained silk flowers. There was one white flower that stood out amongst the rest, untouched by bloodshed and beautiful in the carnage. It crumbled to ash, the wind sweeping its remains into the sea. Neptunians rose from crashing waves and danced in the moonlight. Their bizarre tango ended as a Navy fleet sailed through, shooting cannons at all they deemed dangerous. A village burned and children cried. Their mothers laid dead before them, a protective wall from the chaos. The field of flowers burned away leaving behind ash soaked mud. And in the middle now was a single rose. Red as all the blood spilt and solitary as the beating heart of a survivor.
Crocodile put his quill pen down and stood, moving around his desk to the tall blonde sitting at the couch. "Doflamingo,"
The blonde looked him. "Were you listening?" He smiled. He knew Crocodile was about to throw him out. He loved to tease the man and jumped at every chance.
"Yes."
Doflamingo didn't say anything. His smile never wavered but he was at a momentary loss for words. He was pulled up by his forearm and led to the door. Before Crocodile opened it, he pulled the tall man down and kissed him briefly. Just as he began to kiss back, Doflamingo was pushed through the door and it slammed shut behind him.
"Damn tease," He laughed loudly as he left the casino.
