    Summary

    "Lastly, an assignment protecting the Duke of Kyuka on his vacation," Guernica says. "However, that mission is irrelevant for our top two agents. Such a simple task can be given to our newest recruits, as it is only a three-day cruise––"

    Kaku perks up. "A cruise?"

    In his eyes is the first glint of light Lucci has seen in them since leaving Water 7.

    Even amongst the masterful deception of the other agents, Kaku was the best of them all. He blended in with the Water 7 citizens almost too well: whistling as he worked his sham of a job, expression light with joy that looked far less fake than it should've. Even when he dropped the act behind closed doors, there was still a levity to his demeanor –– a spark that extinguished the moment Nico Robin slugged a bullet into Iceburg's chest.

    Given that it hasn't interfered with any of their missions, the fact that he has lost that spark should not matter. It should not matter. And yet––

    "We'll take that one," Lucci says before he can stop himself.

    Even Hattori gives him a weird look.

    -----

    Eight months after Enies Lobby, Lucci and Kaku take a simple undercover mission as vacationers on a cruise. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    "My captain- my previous one, that is- well, he was much the same."
    "Previous one," repeats Rayleigh pensively, and then, just a little more gently, "I'm sorry."
    "Thank you," answers Brook in kind, calm and composed, reaching out to refill the cup of tea he must have finished at some point. "Ah- it was a long time ago."
    Rayleigh tilts his head, thoughtful. The artificial, harsh lightning of the room makes the scar on his eye stand out much more than it did in the middle of Sabaody's bubbles; Brook wonders how he got it, and when, and ponders how strange it is for him to miss his own scars, even fifty years after losing them.
    "A long time ago," echoes Rayleigh, and it feels like this is all this conversation is made of: echoes, too similar to be surprising and too different to be painless.

    (or: in which Rayleigh talks with Brook, and Brook wonders about Rayleigh, and they both miss their crew so, so much.)

    Summary

    “Kaidou!” someone screams with all the fury of a conqueror. “I’m right here!”

    Kaidou opens one eye.

    “Who the fuck are you?” he grumbles, still shitfaced.

    “I’m Luffy, the man who’s going to be the Pirate King!”

    Luffy.

    Strawhat Luffy?

    (Kaidou is the strongest creature in the world, and Strawhat falls beneath his fists.)
