⠀⠀ “And I know it’s the same sky as anywhere else but I swear you just see 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 stars on the Line, you know?” ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀ Whistling as he kicks his toes in the water on the dock. Just a few more days and he’ll be out to sea and 𝘰𝘧𝘧 this stupid island. There has to be more to the Grand Line than this. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀ #𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 。　gah I’m so at war with myself —— I have an original Devil fruit idea but I can’t tell if it’s too OP or not ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀ “One for me and a refill of whatever the lady is having.” Shura gestures to 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬’ drink, watching the bartender flit away as he takes up a stool. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀ “Of course it is.” He laughs and waves the bartender back. “Screw it, I’ll take whatever she’s having, but a double.” It’s been that kind of day. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀ “You’d be surprised.” He muses, rolling his shoulders. Not for any kind of effect, but it’s almost funny sometimes… just how many people underestimate him. “You just breezing through too?” ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀ He pays the bartender with a generous tip before looking at the woman. “How do you mean?” ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀ “Oh, I don’t know about that. Some things are inevitable. Time will out, and all that.” ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

⠀⠀ “Can I ask what exactly you’re waiting for?” ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

ㅤ Does that statement work for her often or something? Because Shura can feel in his gut that the 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 thing he should do is trust anything a Marine says. "So you can falsely arrest me for this? No thanks." ㅤ

ㅤ "Maybe this once you could... try?" Shura is trying himself —— trying very hard to find any possible way not to go with the Marine here. Even a small statement would probably lead to too many questions. Questions he still can't answer. "Please." ㅤ

ㅤ Of that... Shura has no doubt. He swallows down the lump in his throat before finally giving a single curt nod. "Fine. But the second you have your statement, I'm out of here." ㅤ

ㅤ Don't mind him just... nipping one of these. Maybe two. Maybe three. ㅤ

ㅤ One bite and... oooh man, he's hooked. "What sorcery is this?!" ㅤ
