AN: Can't tell if I want to write the coming war or make it offscreen.So far, I'm leaning towards offscreen.


Walking into the room with his best drip, Kuro sat down as the other Warlords and Marines eyed him.

Doflamingo smiled curiously towards him.

Boa studied him carefully.

Kuma stayed neutral.

Mihawk just chilled and laid back.

Moria stared at him with anger.

Jinbe tried to find anything curious about Kuro.

"You're late," Moria hissed.

Kuro out some powdered drug and placed it on the table, "I'm never early or late, I'm always on time," Kuro rolled up a paper berri and snorted it up.

"You're definitely late," Moria face twisted.

Kuro stopped snorting and looked at Moria deadpan.

Silence descended as if a fight was about to start.

"You right, my bad," Kuro went back to snorting, "Ah, that's the good shit."

Everyone was at lost for words.

"Why are you doing drugs here?" A marine questioned.

Kuro looked at him as if he was stupid, "It's to assert dominance."

The marine became confused, "Dominance?"

Kuro nodded, "Yeah, just like yo fat ass mom did to me."

Everyone seemed to choke.

The marine became flustered and angered but held back.

"That was rude," he stated.

Kuro snorted up the drug, "You're in a room filled with blood thirsty pirates and you got the balls to talk, I'll give you some respect. Don't spend it all on drugs."

Everyone was at a loss for words.

Sengoku came in with Tsuru and Garp, "Looks like everyone is here, then I'll begin the meeting."

Sengoku started talking as Kuro continued snorting.

"Straight to the point, we have intel that Big Mom and Kaido have made an alliance. We plan on waging war and will require you all to participate," Sengoku stated calmly.

Doflamingo took in the information with an expected smile and started laughing.

Boa fell into thoughts as she wondered what she would do.

Kuma stayed silent without an expression of thought.

Jinbe turned grim but resolved himself.

Mihawk eyes sharpened and narrowed with thought.

Moria had an excited fearful expression, "Kaido!"

Kuro stopped snorting, "Where will the battle take place?"

"Marineford," Sengoku stated eyeing him.

"Did you set the time with them?" Jinbe questioned.

Sengoku nodded, "We did, twelve days from now."

"Can't see you guys gaining anything from winning this war," Kuro stated and snorted.

Sengoku became silent for a moment, "We'll gain some territories in the New World."

Kuro looked at the Sengoku, "There's no way you guys have the manpower to control the territories even if you win."

Sengoku became silent for a moment, "We plan on giving you all territories to manage."

Extreme silence descended.

"I'll decline," stated Mihawk.

"I don't have the time to manage a territory," stated Boa.

Kuma said nothing.

"I'll take them," Doflamingo stated with a smile.

"I want the best of them," Moria grinned.

"I want none of it, "Jinbe stated adamantly.

"Ain't nobody got time to manage territories," Kuro snorted up.

Sengoku nodded without surprise, "Very well, Moria and Doflamingo shall manage the new territories."

"All of you are discussing quite interesting things, mind if I join?" Laffitte voiced.

"Only if you brought some good stuff," Kuro replied and snorted up.

Everyone turned to look at Laffitte who was at a loss for words.

"I'm sorry, but I've brought nothing good," Laffitte smiled.

"Then you better leave with something good," Kuro snorted up.

"You seem quite arrogant," Laffitte smiled.

"Demon Sheriff Laffitte, why have you come here?" Tsuru questioned.

"I've come here with a proposal," Laffitte stated.

Laffitte then started talking about how Teach needed protection from Whitebeard and would help with the war in exchange for protection.

"Is he strong?" Sengoku eyed.

"I believe so," Laffitte smiled.

With someone like Laffitte being a crewmate of Teach, Sengoku deemed that Teach could be somewhat be useful, "Very well."

Laffitte nodded with a smile and left.

"How's your captain doing brat?" Garp smiled at Kuro.

Kuro shrugged, "Training to fight Kaido but I think he won't get the chance since Jewelry Bonny is cooperating."

Kuma seemed to twitch but held himself.

"How did you know?" Garp's eyes darkened.

Kuro shrugged, "A friend of mine told me, I can't wait to see what someone like you in the realm of legend can do," Kuro grinned.

Garp laughed, "I'll make sure to put on a sight just for you!"

Kuro snorted up, "By the way, there shouldn't be anything that's threatful enough to force Big Mom and Kaido to make an alliance, so what gives?"

Garp grinned, "Your hunting in the East Blue inspired quite a few bounties hunters to start hunting bigger."

Kuro became thoughtful, "So they want to be famous like us and get rich and loaded, khakakakakakaka!"

Garp gazed deeply, "You know, I've been curious, what made you join piracy if you were so well off?"

Kuro shrugged, "I've been a Cipher Pol, a marine, a bounty hunter, so pirate was basically last on the list."

"A Cipher Pol?" Sengoku eyes widened.

"A marine?" Garp's eyes widened.

Everyone was dead silent as they processed the information.

Kuro held a hand to his mouth, "Oopsie whoopsie, sorry, you didn't hear that from me. But if you're curious, just know that there are lots of things happening right under the World Government's nose. Like Celestial Dragon's funding the revolutionary army. But you didn't hear that from me."

Needless to say, everyone wanted to know more.

Looking at the other Warlords, Sengoku knew it was best not to reveal secrets, "Let's get back on topic."


Luna pinned Kuro against the wall, "I heard Nami wasn't saved by Luffy, explain yourself."

"I plead the fifth," Kuro sweated.

Luna snarled, "Screw your rights and explain before I cave your head in."

Kuro held his hand up, "It's not my fault Kuina wanted to save Nami's village because her village was getting harassed."

Luna felt conflicted, she couldn't see her ship sailing without Luffying having saved Nami.

"Why do you want Luffy to end up with Nami anyway?" Kuro gazed.

Luna became flustered for a moment, "She's the female lead so it's only right."

"I highly doubt that's the reason but alright," Kuro slid away.


"Kuro, put on a puppet show!" Luffy slammed the table.

"Aye ya Cap," Kuro sighed.

Kuro took out a Luffy puppet and two other puppets.

"Son, you're gonna be a great pirate!" Puppet Luffy cried.

"I don't wanna, I wanna be fleet admiral!" Puppet Luffy son cried.

"What'd you say! Ain't no son of mine is going to become a dirty cotton pickin lickin' marine!" Puppet Luffy yelled.

Everyone one sweat dropped and Tashigi looked at Luffy.

"Dad I have decided I want to become a vegan!" Puppet Luffy's daughter cried.

Puppet Luffy glared at his daughter, "Ain't no daughter of mine going to be all skinny bones, I forbid you!"

"I don't like the puppet show," Luffy stated.

"I can definitely see you becoming like that," Usopp nodded.

Everyone seemed to somewhat agree.

Luffy pouted, "Do Sanji next!"

Sanji perked up and everyone wondered how Kuro was going to portray Sanji.

Kuro took out a puppet Sanji and two kid puppets.

Kuro pointed at the puppet kids, "This is Senja the daughter and Senjo the son."

Sanji arched an eye, he could see him naming his kids like that.

"Senjo, give me that doll, I want to play with it," Senja communicated.

Senjo looked at Senja as if she was stupid, "No, I want to keep playing with it."

Senja went to Puppet Sanji, "Dad, Senjo won't give me the doll."

"What!" Puppet Sanji cried.

Puppet Sanji towered over Senjo, "Give your sister the doll Senjo."

"I don't wanna," Senjo cried.

Puppet Sanji forcibly took the doll away.

Everyone in the room looked at Sanji and sweat dropped.

"I would never," Sanji smiled guiltily.


As Kuro watched Robin feed Luffy, Kuro felt betrayed.

How could Luffy betray him like this?

After all they went through.

Thinking about what he needed to do, Kuro cooked up a plan.


"Luffy, eat this, I made it for you," Robin smiled.

Luffy looked at the delicious cake on a small plate and took it, "Thanks, Robin."

The cake tasted salty and Luffy immediately wanted to complain.

However, thinking about how nice Robin's been to him lately, he decided not to, maybe she messed up the salt and sugar.

"How does it taste?" Robin smiled.

"Great," Luffy held a thumbs up with a grin.

Seeing as how Luffy's lips didn't twist, Robin smiled inside as Luffy liked her cooking.

For Luffy however, as long as food made by his Nakama was edible, it would taste great all the same.

As Robin left to bring the plate back to the kitchen, she saw a mouth hunged Kuro.

"What is it?" Robin questioned.

Kuro rubbed his chin, "I switched the sugar and salt, so I was sure Cap was going to dislike your cake."

Robin's face turned into a demon, "You did what?!"

"Choppers calling me gotta go," Kuro disappeared.

Robin went back to Luffy, "Luffy, did the cake taste salty?"

"Yeah," Luffy nodded, "But it was great!"

Robin felt her heart soften, "I'm sorry about that, I mixed up the salt and sugar."

"Shishishishishishi, it's okay, it still tasted great," Luffy laughed.

Robin smiled and went to the kitchen to put back the plate.

As she walked, she thought of ways to pay back Kuro.


"Kuro, sing me a song!" Luffy yelled.

Kuro turned to Brook, "Back me up with an electric guitar Brook."

"Very well Kuro-san, I hope you don't pass out this time," Brook laughed.

Kuro took a deep breath and sang.

"I wanna be the pirate king

Like Gold D. Roger was

To sail the seas is what I'll do

To have it all's my dream

I will sail across the seas

Adventuring far and wide

Experiencing more and more

The life that lies beyond

Pirate King!

I wanna have it all

I know it's my destiny

Pirate King!

Oooo all the glory and riches

In a world filled with pirates

Pirate King!

Gonna sail the seas

A heart so hardy and strong

We will brave all the seas

You join me or walk the plank

Pirate King!

Gonna have it all

Gonna have it all

Every danger that comes our way

We'll face full of courage

I will fight tooth and nail every day

To be a strawhat pirate

Sail with me, the time is now

There's no better age

Over and over, we'll overcome

Chasing after our dream

Pirate King!

Gonna have it all

All together now

I know it's our destiny

Pirate King!

Oh, we'll sail the seas

In a world full of pirates

Pirate King!

Gonna have it all

A heart so hardy and strong

We will brave all the seas

You join me or walk the plank

Pirate King!

Gonna have it all

Gonna have it all

Gonna have it all..."

"No one's walking the plank Kuro," Luffy deadpanned.

"But Caaaaaap, what's a pirate crew without making others walk the plank," Kuro whined.

Everyone's sweat dropped.
