>ugh, whatever

Common sense. Ick. Ew. Ugh. “... Fine. I'll ask Conis for a different way down.” Maybe you should do this ‘basic research’ thing. It works for paperwork. Maybe it’ll work for other stuff. You doubt it, but at least no-one can complain you didn’t try. You look away from your Eternal Jerk, huffing. “I'm only coming back because you guys will be a pain if I don't.”

Zoro sighs, relief obvious, though he does’t lower his swords just yet. Noodle gives a low hiss though, reluctantly turning at your words to head back to shore. “I don’t care about your reasoning. Just don’t make Chopper upset.”

.... Yeah, okay, that’s a good priority. Poor Doctor Cutie.

Zoro eyes you warily a little more, before finally removing the third sword and sheathing it, then the second. The first remains at hand, though at least not pointed at you. “We’re not going to have to restrain you, are we?”

>how dare you, etelnar livar

“Of course not! Just because I’m the kind of guy who jumps out of the sky doesn’t mean I go back on my word.” You pull yourself up to your full one-cm-higher-than-him height, fixing Zoro with a look of insulted disgust.

“... Right.” He glances over to where the Strawhats are becoming clearer, apparently calmed down now they can see you’re returning. “I’m gonna tell Chopper to check you for head injuries, though.”

You suppose that might be a valid concern if a random person had happened to fling themselves out of the sky. Or a Logia who hadn’t actually confirmed if he could turn into Lightning, you guess.

“My head’s fine, you mutter instead, as Noodle slithers closer to the shore.

“HAS HE STOPPED BEING NUTS?” Thanks, Sanji.

“FOR NOW,” Zoro calls back. You’re not sure if that’s an insult or not. You glare at him anyway, just in case, before the rocky shore comes close enough that the pair of you can jump off the giant snake-boat.

Gah. You really need to get down, sthe last time anyone heard from you, Nico had just found out your identity, and then... then you never called back. Probably not good.

The assorted Strawhats - Strawbrat himself, Sanji, Nico and Chopper, apparently take your sudden fleeing in reasonably good stead as you’re escorted back to the Merry, apart from Chopper insisting on knowing whether you received any head-injuries.

... You’ve apparently been put on a watchlist of ‘idiot who might do dangerous shit, watch out in case he commits suicide via dumbassery’, judging by the way at least one person seems to conveniently linger around you almost constantly, even after you’re back on the ship.

Great.

>>3551832
How about light and fluffy meringue instead? I nearly jumped off a cloud. Here's a cloud like desert.

>become CHEF

“Hey.”

The scent of cigarette smoke would have told you who was there even if you hadn’t heard Sanji coming. You look across to where he leans against the railing, ever so casual, watching the others fix up Merry, fail to fix up Merry (Strawbrat), or try to get Strawbrat under control. “Yeah?”

“I need to start getting meals ready for the ladies.” He waves the smoke away. “Maybe the guys too, I guess. Want to help?”

... He’s being oddly... pleasant? Not that he’s normally an asshole or anything, but Sanji’s a brusque kind of person, to men at least. Does he think you’re gonna run off and fling yourself off a cloud again?

“Yeah, okay.” Screw it, it gives you something to do. Although you’ve probably paid your way anyway, with the whole god-killing, ship-crashing stuff.

His eyes gleam. “Perfect! There’s a lot of prep to do, get your ass in the galley and wash up.”

... That’s more normal.

The galley isn’t exactly running low on food, especially meat - someone clearly went out hunting earlier - but the selection is obviously a bit more sparse than before. Sanji’s all business, but he’s good enough to teach you even as he works, before casually offering you the chance to pick the dessert.

Oh Seasus, you’re really being treated with cotton gloves, aren’t you? You try to jump to your apparent death ONE TIME, and everyone thinks you’re mentally unstable.

Exactly. It's a pretty normally dessert from all angles, but considering what we literally just did in their eyes....

(Plus it does look delicious)

>81 + 19 Cooking = 100 woooooooo, poor kickdad

(Cooking +1!)

“Angel cake seems like a good fit for a sky island,” you innocently suggest, even as your inner troll claws its way to the surface. “A meringue topping would be good...”

“Meringue is kind of hard for a beginner, but I’ll be here, so...” Sanji rubs his chin, eyes flicking over the galley. “Yeah, okay. I’ll find a good recipe for you to follow, hold on.”

Apparently having memorised where literally every recipe is in every book, he pulls together an appropriate recipe out in seconds, while you try not to snigger at your planned cloudy topping. It’s probably cruel, but he’s a pirate. That’s your excuse, and you’re sticking with it.

First step is to help out with the basic prep for the main meals, which you perform satisfactorily, judging by how Sanji turns an occasional eye over your work without offering anything more than a rare slight correction. Second step is, while Sanji starts to cook, to get the dessert prepped.

Working off the recipe is pretty easy, especially with the cook offering advice and quick checks throughout. He seems pleased with your work though, which makes it all the sweeter (heh, sweeter) when you start making the damn thing look like clouds.

It’s pretty goddamn awesome, if you do say so yourself. Even if your cooking teacher’s expression has started looking a little wooden as the cake’s intrinsic cloudiness comes to life.

You motion towards the nearly-finished deliciousness, face a picture of )admittedly mostly hidden) naivety. “Is this okay?”

“Y-yeah,” he says, visibly uncomfortable. It’s beautiful. “It’s good. It’s... Wait.” His eyes narrow at your own wide ones. “You’re fucking with me, aren’t you?”

>What can I say, I like clouds.
>If I say yes, are you gonna kick me?
>(GASP) I would never!
>Other?

(By the way, for hygiene reasons you had a shower and changed into a convenient set of new, non-torn but still face-covering clothes that you borrowed off Zoro/Kohza/Sanji/whatever before this. No, Sanji won’t let you help out after having been unconscious in a bush and walking around with most of your body on display. It’s not hygienic!)

>if you can't arrest them, break them mentally

You stare at Sanji with an expression of pure, unrefined confusion. Alas, you are merely a sweet and innocent pirate, unwise to the ways of the world (and cake). What could he mean? You are entirely ignorant of the subtle undercurrents of his accusation, and so on and so forth.

Yuuuuup.

"I... don't think so? I just thought it'd be good to eat?" You bite your lower lip slightly in a way that could mean, 'he thinks my baking's bad!' or 'he thinks I'm the kind of asshole that has fun messing with people!' depending on how paranoid he is.

By an astounding coincidence, you are in fact the kind of asshole that enjoys messing with people. Just a little. Out of affection. ... And because it's funny.

Mostly be because it's funny, to be honest.

Sanji apparently isn't sure of your honesty, by the way he looks at your hurt expression, face faltering slightly. "It - does look good, but..."

Sanji's weird, curly brow (kind of like those villains in that comic Mina loves reading) shoots right up, mouth pinching. "OH??"

"Yeah, but... I guess jumping when I'm injured like this isn't a great idea." You scowl, looking down at your now-shirt-covered chest. "I mean, I don't really want to upset Doctor Chopper, y'know?"

"Right, right," Sanji says, turning quickly away to stub out his cigarette. Why does a kitchen have ashtrays, anyway? Hello, basic food hygiene? "So. You, uh. How do yo- oh fuck it, I can't be dealing with this delicate stuff." He turns back again, face now set in a glare as he jabs a finger in your chest.

Now that I think about it... If I wasn't inside Flash's head this would seem like he had everything planned.

He stayed behind when everyone was fleeing from Enel. He killed him alone somehow, survived the fall and now he is a logia. Enel's logia. It's as if Flash absorbed his power somehow.

The only other explanation is that everything was just a coincidence and somehow stayed behind for no good reason, killed the god by pure luck and then somehow found the fruit, but that's stupid and too far-fetched.

Just how far back goes Flash's plan? Did he know about Enel from before? Did he know that getting drunk with Usoph would mean getting a ride to the sky island?

He looks at you pointedly over his shoulder. "So you conveniently happen to be a Logia, huh? Even though you've shown zero sign of it. Got any proof?"

He doesn't sound like he believes you. At all.

You smirk like the absolute shit you are, lift a hand, and let tiny bolts flicker and crackle it.

"... Yeah, that'll do it," Sanji mutters around his latest cigarette, grabbing a spoon to stir with. "Okay, what the hell? You and that asshole can't have the same Logia, that's impossible."

"YOU'RE impossible... but seriously, I ate it after he died." You shrug. "How did Kohza get his? Same way."

Sanji sighs, still stirring soup. Mmm, alliterative. "All right, I guess that makes sense now. You couldn't have, I dunno, mentioned that before? When everyone thought you'd gone nuts?"

Yes, but that wouldn't have been as fun. "It must have slipped my mind."

"Yeah, no." He snorts. "You've already shown you like messing with people, don't think I've forgotten that. I mean, I'm not going to complain about messing with the neanderthal out there, but maybe tone it down with the others?" His eyes narrow, looking back at you. "Especially the women."

You turn back to finish the last decoration on your beautiful masterpiece of trolling, feeling a little apologetic now the adrenaline rush has died down. "I just... kind of miss screwing around with my crew," you admit, feeling like maybe he's owed an explanation. "I guess it all surfaced at once when I got the opportunity."

"Your crew..." Sanji's voice is a little softer now, as you finish up. "Yeah, I heard about that. Do you... wanna talk about them?"

This, if anyone in the crew will understand what that feels like it's Sanji

>>3552412
Support.
Support so much.

>>3552408
Oh yeah, we're actually closest to Sanji character-wise. Very similar backgrounds even if Flashy himself doesn't know it.

>>3552407
Luffy doesn't care if someone has a powerful Fruit, it's if he finds them interesting/fun enough. Or if they're a musician.

At the moment he's kind of 'meh' about you, because you diiiid kind of stomp all over his adventure by killing everyone too fast. But you're a nice guy, so he's fairly chill with it. You cook, sure, but he has Sanji already, so...

>>3552404
>>Well, there's my Captain...
>>I can't tell him, but he's like the father I never had.

>Zoro knows Flashy's real identity
>Sanji knows the truth about Flashy's devil fruit
He really is dividing the truth nicely between his two pirate dads, isn't he? At the rate he's going the only way they'll get the full picture is if they talk with each other, and that isn't happening any time soon kek

>>3552434
he sees us more as the fun guy he would like to run into during parties, but doesn't want us along cause we kinda harsh the mellow of his adventures

>>3552434
Once he finds out about our latrine cleaning skills he'll be begging us to join

So zolo interlude 2: goro goro boogaloo when?

Also what's the rest of the straw hats opinions on us. Since u answered luffy and I'm sure we can guess zolo I'm kinda curious

>>3552440
I wonder who is in charge of that in his crew.

Can't imagine any of them doing it willingly.

>>3552448
Probably Usopp, because, let's be honest: just fucking look at him.

>>3552447
Didn't we also save Sogeking?

>>3552440
Flashy starts off thinking of the Strawhats as evil pirates, then as misguided adventurers when he spends time with them, then back to evil pirates when Luffy asks him to join as their janitor.

>>3552437
>What do you mean Arthur was actually Flashman?! You didnt think that was important you stupid Mosshead?!
>Shut up Curly-cu. You're the one who didnt say he had a devil fruit. A fucking Logia too!
>Robin silently sheds a tear off to the side. She knew both, but was afraid to say anything.

>faaaaaamily

Your crew? Eh, they already know your Captain's alive. "Well, there's my Captain..." Fuck it. You're gonna say it. Out loud, here, where no-one but Sanji will ever hear it. "I can't tell him, but he's like the father I never had."

... There! It's out! You said it! Itndidnt even hurt!

As a matter of fact, you kind of feel like your chest has loosened a little, and you have to reach up to make sure your bandages are still fine.

Cake finished, you look over to where Sanji is. He seems... oddly relaxed. "Yeah? That's good. Finding someone like that is... kind of a rare treasure, huh?" He turns the hob down, tugging the pot off. "You never thought about telling him that, then?"

>Hell no! I'd die of embarrassment!
>I guess I'm a little too old for that kind of thing.
>I'm pretty sure he's allergic to most emotions. Aside from anger. And sadistic pleasure in punishing me.
>I'd rather not ruin what we already have by pushing it. It'd just make things weird.

>>3552438
Perfectly put, yes. Ally/friend/guest? Yay! Actual part of the crew? No thanks.

>>3552447
NO INTERLUDE EVER ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH
Crew's opinions when you leave them. I just did Luffy's so you know you're not getting an invite. There WAS the potential for Arthur to get one, but alas, you wrecked everything via cannonballs.

>>3552459
And Luffy knows they're actually his fathers!

>>3552459
>>Robin silently sheds a tear off to the side. She knew both, but was afraid to say anything.

>"Hey, Robin, I'd really appreciate if you didn't spread my secrets around. It wouldn't be a huge problem, but I'd rather not have to deal with it at all."

>>What Robin hears: I'd advise you to not become a problem I have to deal with.

>>I'd rather not ruin what we already have by pushing it. It'd just make things weird.
I like this combo because it kinda goes back to when Flashy couldn't help feeling a bit jealous of Mina being adopted.

>>3552491
>>I'm pretty sure he's allergic to most emotions. Aside from anger. And sadistic pleasure in punishing me.

>>3552491
>Hell no! I'd die of embarrassment!

Oh Luffy
>Zoro!! Sanji!! Stop it! You're tearing this family apart!

>>3552499
... Well, I meant more about how you kept obliterating everything on your way and making it less interesting for Luffy, but sure, that too.

Although he doesn't actually remember you using the cannonballs. You just... somehow defeated them at range through some other means. Yes.

>>3552499
And we're a dirty fun stealing mari-pirate.

>>3552507

I like to imagine it's a subconscious thing.

:( le sad

>low self-esteem flashy is a burden upon existence

"I guess I'm a little too old for that kind of thing," you laugh, in a totally non-bitter, un-resigned way. "Besides, I'd rather not ruin what we already have by pushing it. It'd just make things weird."

"Uh-huh." Sanji flicks his cigarette free of ash, still working the galley like a maestro of food. "So, that's bullshit."

You jolt. "What? What is!?"

"Too old. That's just ridiculous. You don't stop being someone's kid when you hit a certain age, do you? So why would there be an age limit on it?" He pulls out tableware, smooth and practiced, voice blasé. "Besides, it's not like you're even old, you're... what, twenty?"

"Nineteen..."

"See? I mean, I dunno how he treats you, but it must be pretty good if you think of him that way. You really think he'd have a bad reaction to it?" He seems kind of determined on this, turning to you with a quiet intensity in his visible eye. It's a little - strange?

>... I don't really... want to talk about this.

Is Sanji the first person Flash opens up to like this?

>>3552574
Support this too.

And also:

"I went to drink and ended up killing a god."

Flasham so good at bureaucracy from helping with filling out other kids adoption papers. Never had opportunity to filled out his own.

>>3552591
About the White Mist crew, yeah. He's opened up about his past with Smoker before, though. And about the whole idea of JUSTICE with Crocus.

>>3552574

>>3552594
Every time he fills one out he feels a twinge of sadness. How come nobody adopted him?

It's safe, because a) he's Arthur the pirate, who will never, ever be linked to Flashman, ever-ever; and b) eh, it's a pirate. Who's he going to tell?

Therapy!

"Hey man, thanks for that. It felt really good to get that off my chest. You're a really good listener. Next time we meet, I'll introduce you to my sister."

>gee what a close vote

"... Sometimes I kind of wonder how he sees me," you admit, voice low. It feels dangerous, forbidden, the more you say - like dredging up blackened, buried truths you've long sunk in the depths that you'll never admit even exist. And yet - you can't help but feel a vicarious thrill in releasing them out there; into the world, letting another person hear and cast judgement on them. "I cause - a lot of trouble."

Understatement.

"I can imagine," Sanji murmurs, smile flickering around his tar-tube. "But I'm guessing he's not the sort who wants a boring life, huh? Or an easy one?"

You snort. "Yeah, he doesn't really do calm."

"I think if he really thought you were more trouble than you were worth, you'd already have been off the ship." He shrugs, opening a drawer to pull out some bizarre specialist kitchen tool. "I mean, I'm not saying surprise him with a Father's Day card off the bat, but don't close yourself off from the whole idea, yeah?"

>You must have a close-knit family, huh?
