BWAHAHAHA!

Posted this at sanji_is_a_slut and figured I might as well post it here too. Not my usual pairing (well Sanji is there so it's all good ^^;) but I kinda like it.

Just a really rough sketch, but it's like that for a reason. I'll only fix it up and complete it (which means as good as I can do, not quickly coloured sketches and stuff)if someone writes something based off of it.

So, anyone up to that challenge?





....

The sketch is pretty bad isn't it? Ah well, I just needed to get the image out of my head.

I'd like to find something original to say, but a small-yet-crucial part of my hypocampus has just melted, thus am I incapable of making more than a few unarticulated guuhuuhuu noises ♥ I think my favorite bit is Kaku, looking down all sweet and inquisitive - though Sanji's glare is excellent as well. And Lucci...growrrrr ^__^ Oh I hope someone without a broken brain can write something nifty for this! My inspiration is on strike these days...*sigh*

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Kaku's just enjoying the show and a little amazed at how calmly Sanji is taking it. . . .

Lucci I have discovered is fun to draw and already this picture has spawned many other ideas.

And I have I think two people working on fics and one who says she might after I've completed the picture, so it'll be interesting to see what people come up with. It's a shame your inspiration is on strike since I love your fics. Ah well, myabe I can help bring it back. . .

*starts plotting pictures...*

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

Apparently even your sketches can inspire ^_^ The picture just wouldn't let me go until I'd found some half-baked rationalization for it :P


Sanji hated Water 7. Robin had been acting strangely, Sanji had gotten canal water splashed on him by passing Yaguro, the girls here Weren't Interested, and he was being assaulted by a lunatic.

"Do you like cats?" a long-nosed man asked him inquiringly.

Two lunatics, Sanji corrected himself. One of them - the one who'd knocked him over and was now mauling his shirt - was some sort of zoan-cat-bastard to boot, which was the only reason Sanji hadn't let fly with a kick yet. Luffy's example had taught him to be careful with Devil Fruit users, even the certifiably loony ones. Especially the certifiably loony ones.

"Is this...a friend of yours?" he asked the long-nosed man in as reasonable a voice as he could manage right now.

"Yes. Sorry about that. He's not big on communication, see. That means he likes you."

Sanji was torn between 'How do I go about getting him to dislike me' and 'he's nibbling on my freaking tie and you think this is somehow normal?!' Instead, he said through gritted teeth: "He's got five seconds to let go of me before I neuter him, and the countdown started four seconds ago."

"Oops, I'm sorry, here, come on Lucci, I don't think he wants to be friends."

Sanji was released; he smoothed down his rumpled tie like a mother soothing a frightened child, and then he turned on his aggressor with a snarl-

The dark-haired man was looking at him as if nothing untoward had happened, but the pigeon which had just landed on his shoulder had one wing furled at its beak as if it was trying to muffle an embarrassed cough. "I also wish to apologize for Lucci's behaviour. My name is Hattori. May we offer you a drink to make up for this?"

Sanji shut his mouth after two tries. "I'm out of here."

"You sure? Come on, the bird's right, let's go have a beer. My name's Kaku- wait! Come back! I'm certain we could all be friends!"

Sanji was already accelerating out of the alley at full speed. He really didn't like Water 7. Buncha weirdoes. 'Not big on communication' yeah right. Funny, he could almost have sworn he'd seen the guy who'd jumped him before- and above all he was sure he never wanted to see the shitty freak again!



Kaku watched the young man leave. "The end of what could have been a beautiful friendship..."

"Come on," said Lucci via Hattori, once more cold and collected as if nothing had happened.

"At least there's no chance he'll recognize you now. As anything other than the crazy-cat-person, that is."

"Better be safe than sorry."

"You really think he would have remembered you as the government agent who ate at his restaurant nearly five years ago?"

"He was younger, obviously, but we had an interesting talk about wines and then he tried to kick my ass when I mentioned what I thought of ex-pirates being allowed to set up shop. Yes, I think he might have placed me. I recognized him, after all."

There was a short, thoughtful pause.

"So what you're saying is that he's very recognizable?"

"I said no such thing."

"Oh, you meant that it's just you who would have recognized him anywhere. Yes, I can see that, no wonder you-"

"This conversation is going nowhere. I advise you to drop it."

They walked on in silence along the sunny canals for a spell.

"Great dresser. I liked his tie. So did you, right?"

"Shut. Up."

Kaku, smiling amiably, complied.




"He was pretty cute, wasn't he."

Growl.

[salmon-pink.livejournal.com]

*squeals* Oh, poor lovely Kaku, he just wants everyone to be friends. You spread that love and joy, Kaku, like a long-nosed Easter Bunny of happiness!

... If it isn't entirely clear from the above repsonse, that ficlet was made of awesome. :D

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

Lol, thanks ^_^ I think Kaku was less about spreading the love and more about keeping the peace, a habit he's picked up keeping Jyabura and Lucci from killing each other over the years :P

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

YES! That is just too damn cute and now I wanna draw these three even more. . .

But I can so see that happening and that is an interesting explanation behind the pounce and Kaku is pure love, he really is.

Thank you ^___^

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

You're welcome ^____^ Thogh it was mainly thanks to that lovely sketch o' crack! And if you give in to the urge to draw these three some more, I certainly won't mind anymore than Lucci really minded poucing on and molesting Sanji ^___^

"You really think he would have remembered you as the government agent who ate at his restaurant nearly five years ago?"

Oddly enough, the first time I read this I saw this line as "the government agent who ATE his restaurant nearly five years ago", and then I had mental images of Lucci quite literally chewing the walls apart.

...

Both the picture and the ficbit are clearly full of hallucinogenic crack, and I congratulate both of you. And now I'm going to go and have a nice lie-down I think. Yes.

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha! The crack is contagious! Though this being Lucci, I almost wouldn't put it past him to eat anything he fancies to, as long as he thinks there's something to gain from it...

[tucuxi.livejournal.com]

Man, I don't know who I feel worse for here, Sanji or Lucci. Probably Lucci, actually, since he'll get needled about it forever, while Sanji gets to just go home and take a shower to try to forget about that freak who jumped him. :)

This line made me laugh out loud: Instead, he said through gritted teeth: "He's got five seconds to let go of me before I neuter him, and the countdown started four seconds ago."


And the explanatory bit! Oh, Lucci. Only you would think that half-transforming and jumping someone would be a good way to make sure they didn't remember who you were. Wow.

Kaku seems so amused by the whole thing, it totally cracks me up: "At least there's no chance he'll recognize you now. As anything other than the crazy-cat-person, that is."

Also, the banter was really funny.

Thanks for a fun look at a cracktastic picture! Can't wait to see the final art, luco_millian!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

*blinks* I'm amused that this little piece of insanity (the picture, not the wonderful fics, cause it's understandable why they would get so much love ^_^) is getting so attention and encouragement.

Honestly didn't know what people's reactions would be and now....I just wanna draw the three of them some more >_>

[tucuxi.livejournal.com]

I mean, it's crack. But One Piece seems to have a fair number of good crack!fic writers, so it's worked out well.

I really think my favorite part of the picture, though, is that Kaku's just sittin' there, looking at them with this curiosity, like, hey, I wonder what's gonna happen next? Love it.

[maldoror-gw.livejournal.com]

'Only you would think that half-transforming and jumping someone would be a good way to make sure they didn't remember who you were.'

Well, to give the devil his due, it DID work. Sanji certainly won't remember Lucci as anyone ominous any time soon :P Glad you liked!
