Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews for such few chapters there are so far! I know a lot of them are pairing comments such as "please put Velica with Doflamingo" or "please put Velica with Law" and I must say that you people are making it a hard choice to make! Well, I suppose as the story progresses we shall see who she goes with now won't we? Once again, thank you for all the wonderful reviews and continue to review! Reviews make me happy and give faster updates!

"Fuffuffuffuff~" Doflamingo chuckled into one of his concubine's ears as he whispered sweet nothings while his hands roamed her body making her giggle. Women were crowded all around him in his room, waiting for their turn with Doflamingo and craving for the taste of his lips upon their very own. Doflamingo chuckled again, enjoying the attention from all of them that he was receiving. However, it seemed that his attention would turn short as his room doors slammed open and boots clacked against the cold stone flooring. The women slinkered out of the way, fear striking their core as they quickly fled so as to not become the target of the one who entered the room.

Doflamingo's smile widened as he rested his cheek against his hand, tilting his head to the side while he watched his visitor entering his room and scaring away all of his women. A deep rumble erupted from his chest, enjoying the authority that they upheld while around the concubines, yet couldn't care less about them.

"Captain, I have just received word that there is a War Lord's meeting being held and that it is demanded that you are to attend." Doflamingo frowned, looking at the person who stood before him, holding out a piece of paper for him to take.

"And here I thought you had actually come to enjoy my company. Why must you be so cold toward me, my little Velica?" Velica sighed while closing her eyes and handing him the paper.

"I am constantly and forever by your side, captain. That should tell you how I feel about your company. It is your-" Velica stopped and glanced around the room at the half dressed women, who cowered in fear from her gaze, before looking back over at Doflamingo, who was once again smirking and looking up at her instead of at the paper. "womanly company that I do not care for, captain."

Doflamingo laughed loudly while tossing the paper aimlessly onto the floor before jumping up from the couch and stumbling toward Velica. His hand came up and caressed her cheek before traveling into her long and wavy blond locks, which he brought up to his lips and nose to intake her scent.

"Must you be so cruel to me, my little Velica? I have done nothing to you, and yet you wish to treat me like everyone else? Respect your Young Master, will you?" The hint was ringing clear in his voice, though this was not the first time he had tried to hint Velica into his bed and just like the first time, it did not work. Velica was able to see into the future with every gesture and movement that was done in the here and now, and she had gotten to where if she had seen something she didn't like or did not want to happen, she could reverse time just enough to redo something and have it changed. But, not all could be redone. There were things that no matter how many time you tried to change something, if fate deemed it were to happen then it would happen.

"Captain, please, the meeting." Doflamingo's smile vanished when he realized that she would not play along with him once again. He sighed, standing up straight and allowing her hair to slip through his fingers he scratched the back of his head with his hand and groaned.

"I swear, those imbeciles in the Government are always trying to ruin my fun. Come along Velica, I suppose we should attend the meeting." Doflamingo ordered, waddling toward the door. Velica sighed before turning around and following after her captain.

She didn't know just how long it had been since she had been out on the water like this even if it was not her Captain's ship. It had been at least three years since she had been kidnapped by Law and rescued by Vergo, who had now left their family and been implanted into the Marines as a spy for Doflamingo, at least three years since she had been out on the ocean. Velica took a deep inhale of the salty air that filled her lungs to the brim before she slowly exhaled almost as if giving a sigh of relief to being back on the sea.

"Fuffuffuffuff~" Velica's breath hitched in her throat from the suddenness from Doflamingo. She felt as the feathered coat that he wore wrapped around the back of her and started to cave into her body, engulfing her into his coat.

"You look to be thinking a lot here lately, pray tell what is on your mind?" Velica turned her head to look over at Doflamingo, her captain, with a stern face that was suppose to match his more playful expression.

"I was just thinking about how much I miss the sea." Doflamingo frowned deeply, his feelings were mutual though he never allowed it to show. Being the King of Dressrosa had its props and what not, but it could not compare to the feelings that came to him when out on the sea. Placing his hand on the top of her head, Velica glanced up at Doflamingo, who was looking out at the sea and had merely rested his hand atop her head for a sort of comfort.

The meeting was slow and boring, Velica sat in one of the chairs next to Kuma and watched and listened to the meeting that was joined by Mihawlk and Sengoku halfway through the waiting process. Velica was more or less ignored after she had been questioned by Sengoku on the conditions about why she was here. Once explained by Doflamingo that she was here to keep him company, there were no more questions pertaining to herself. Once the meeting was over with, they were all allowed to leave and were dismissed. On the way out, something caught Velica's eye.

"Captain," Velica called out, stopping in the middle of the hall while Doflamingo moved onward, calling out for her to continue with him. Velica's eyes never left the person as she quickly moved to catch up with Doflamingo and was once again by his side. When they had returned to the ship, Velica went straight to her quarters and plopped down onto the bed that had been set up for her. She sighed, closing her eyes slowly and drifting off to her thoughts before the sleep started to come to her. But, it seemed that she was not about ready to have any sleep for a while. She felt someone approaching her door before it slowly opened and closed again, knowing who it was that had entered her room she made no motivation to move to greet her visitor.

"I know you saw him today, my little Velica." Doflamingo cooed, his large exposed chest touching the back of Velica's clothed back. She took a deep breath and moved her head around in her pillow, so she had indeed seen who she thought she had seen today in the hallway. When the weight of Doflamingo's body became too much for her, she rolled sideways, making Doflamingo to raise his body slightly higher to accompany her with space. She noticed that his feathery coat had been abandoned on the chair next to the door, and that he was rather toned without it.

"Vergo is currently undergoing his mission right now, we cannot have his cover blown, least you wish to take the wrath of the punishment?" Velica looked away, of course she didn't want to get punished for blowing Vergo's cover, that was the last thing that she wanted to happen. But, she couldn't deny that she did miss the tall and mysterious man quite a bit. He was like family to her, ever since she was little he had always been there even if he hadn't been the best at treating a child as one should be treated, he still meant something to her.

"Forgive me, captain." Velica muttered, gripping onto Doflamingo's shirt and burring her face into his chest. Doflamingo frowned before placing his hand on the back of her head and rolling over onto his side, pulling her close to him before smiling softly.

"You could never anger me, my little Velica, my little treasure."
