Crocodile lounged back in the leather chair while he waited for the Navy officials and other Warlords to show up. He drummed his fingers impatiently with neither a scowl nor signature grin across his features. His face remained neutral as he waited. A few Vice-Admirals filed in after a while followed by Doflamingo.

"Croc-baby! How are you?" The tall blonde approached him.

"Agitated." He shifted his eyes over to Doflamingo. "A promised cargo ship was five days late, screwing my deal with Moriah." He stopped his fingers and turned to fully face the tall man.

Doflamingo chuckled lightly. "I'm truly sorry about that. I've been so busy." Crocodile bit down on his cigar a little harder. "You're not mad are you?"

"No."

"Really? I'm glad. I don't know what I would do if you were mad." Doflamingo grinned. He took his seat across from Crocodile. "Oh, aren't these cute!" He picked up a piece of chocolate from the basket in the center of the table. It was shaped like a lion and all the other chocolates were also animal shaped. Doflamingo popped in his mouth. "This is good, you really try one." He reached out and grabbed a bear. Crocodile regarded the basket for a moment before reaching out and plucking a chocolate from the bunch. He held it up to the light as if studying it. Doflamingo smiled at it. "It's a flaming-" He watched as Crocodile snapped the neck of the chocolate flamingo between his fingers. The body of the candy dropped to the table and Crocodile ate the head. Doflamingo's grin never faltered but he did raise his eyebrow just a bit.

"You're right, this is good."
