mαrѕhmαllσw wαrm (IN CROCODILE ERA)

ALT Colour fanart comic featuring One Piece characters. In the top panel Buggy the Clown looms over Monkey D. Luffy, yelling "I'm gonna destroy that straw hat if it's the last thing I ever do!" Luffy grins and gets ready to fight, saying "Bring it on!" In the next panel Zoro and Mihawk are brandishing their swords and crackling with energy. Mihawk (impassively): "Do try and live up to the hype." Zoro (grinning demonically): "Just don't disappoint me!" As the two pairs' fights escalate in the distance, Sanji and Crocodile stand to watch them, before they both light a cigarette/cigar respectively, not saying anything yet.

ALT Crocodile smirks and blows out his smoke, saying "Don't take this personally, kid, but it seems my associates have decided we need to conduct a little business." Sanji smirks back and laughs, saying "Likewise. This isn't the first time our captain's dragged me into a fight I have nothing-" but Crocodile has stopped listening, staring off into the distance, seeming to recall something he has heard in the past. In the final panel the background illustrates his realisation, of the smug Denden Mushi snail-phone he spoke on with "Mister 3", his pet banana-diles which were brutally defeated, and the words "welcome to the shitty restaurant" in a sea of water. Sanji keeps blathering, oblivious, while Crocodile looms over him with an expression of pure shock, disbelief, and rage, his enormous hook hand poised and blocking out the sun ready to smash that little cook into smithereens.
