The Voyagers

"Welcome, please enter." Zoro, Sanji, Law, Brook and Doflamingo had arrived in the front door. They were welcomed by Ubuyashiki's maids. The maids welcomed them and guide them to the dining hall. 

"The place is pretty big isn't it?" Brook scanned throughout the place with his Haki. This house is at least three times bigger than theirs. Doflamingo just nodded in silence. Truly, the crippled are loaded.

"Although, I never expecting you to come along too, Doflamingo-san." Brook shifted his attention to Doflamingo. Thinking that the man would never even bother to join them in this banquet.

"I got nothing to do. Might as well as tag along. I'm also interested in Ubuyashiki. I'm surprised that he's not dead yet." He replied to the answer with evil grin on his face.

"Tch, what an eyesore." Law spat. But Doflamingo didn't do anything. He's used to it.

"I wonder, what are they going to be serving us?" Sanji wondered what is going to be served for tonight's dinner. His eyes lit up as he thought about the girls or accurately, the female Hashiras.

"Didn't Law tell you before? Its going to be yakiniku you idiot. Are you deaf or something, shitty cook? " Zoro shoots a bullet towards Sanji.

"What are you saying, moss-head? You're the one who's been missing for four months without a trace. Not to mention where have you been, huh? Did you get lost again and cry in the middle of your journey?" Sanji counters back.

"What was that, Mister Prince? At least my brain is functioning and doesn't think about woman every time." Zoro counterattack with something more sensitive. A tick mark appears on Sanji's forehead.

"This goddamned algae..!! Go back to your natural habitat on the river or something! This isn't your habitat, moss-head!" Sanji is getting annoyed. He managed to provoke Zoro by calling him an algae. 

"Shut up! You curly brows cook, shit-for-brains pervert!" Zoro insulted him again.

"I've seen the reports of the mission! How many times have you been to "chat" with the courtesan at the Houses, huh?!" Zoro continued and use a fair point against Sanji.

"That wasn't my fault! Doflamingo gave me a VIP Pass! I just did it to get more information from the courtesans! Its a perfect opportunity to get more intel while talking to them!" Sanji defended and made his own reason.

"Yeah, yeah. As if you're just there only for that!" No one buys the bullshit that Sanji had said. He's a pervert, after all.

''Wanna fight, shitty moss-head?!" Sanjji raised his left leg, covered in Armament Haki,

"Oh, you're on perverted cook!" Zoro hold a firm grip on his blade.

*Slide*

The maid opened the door to a large and spacious dining hall. With the grill has already been set on the table. There are some Hashiras that are sitting on the long table. The two paused for a minute.

"Ah, you guys have arrived! Take a seat!" Rengoku offers them to take a seat with a bright smile and obnoxious loud face. Which Doflamingo found to be annoying.

"Tch, these guys again..." Sanemi didn't even bother to bat an eye on them. He still have some grudge and still not getting over it. He get a feeling that these guys are up to no good.

"Can you guys go back to whatever the hell you guys came from? This feast would be better without you guys." Iguro would prefer if they didn't have these guys come. They always make a fuss sometimes.

"Iguro! That's a no way to treat a guest!" The Love Pillar scolds Iguro from being rude for no reason. Even though he's always like that. Iguro didn't response. Mitsuri took it as a yes. 

"Truly, its wonderful that all of us could gather here." Gyomei opened his mouth. He is glad that every one could have arrived.

"Yes! It's not everyday you can eat with everyone like this!" Mitsuri is already drooling, thinking about the meat that's going to be grilled sooner.

"You guys look flashy tonight!" Uzui complimented their outfit. His hand is okay, but some of the portion of his body are covered in bandages. He also wears an eyepatch as his eyes are almost cut by Gyutaro

Zoro wears black suit with a white shirt underneath, the same one he wear back in Dressrosa. Law on the other hand, got a navy blue with two button. He also wears a yellow shirt and his polka dot cap. Sanji just wears the same outfit that he has. Brook? He's still wearing his dead man's outfit. Doflamingo just wears a long-sleeved shirt with a collar and a red tie. 

"I'm just asking, but where did you guys get all of that outfit?" Uzui was pretty curious. Sanji, Law and Zoro all put on a grin before pointing at Doflamingo that's beside them. Doflamingo didn't look appeased at all. In fact behind his smile, he looks angry.

"You bastards stole my clothes....right?" Doflamingo shifted at them, while all of them just smiled at them with a teasing smile and chuckling at him. Turns out that before they came, they raided Doflamingo's closet when he's not there.

"I wish I could kill you guys, here and then." Doflamingo seriously hated when someone's wearing his clothes. Of course, this put a smile on Law's face. As it was his idea all along.

"Wait, where's Ubuyashiki-san?" Brook is a bit confused. He's the one who organized this feast and yet he's not here yet. 

"Master's sickness got to him. He's resting right now. So he could not make it here." Sanemi answered.

"Now that I think about it, where's Tomioka-ya?" Law didn't see Tomioka anywhere.

"Tomioka-san? He's right there." Mitsuri pointed at the end of the table, where they could see that Tomioka is just sitting there in silence, didn't say anything at all.

"Damn, he doesn't have any friends or something?" Doflamingo made fun of him. That took Tomioka's attention.

"I...have...many friends." Tomioka said with a soft voice with expressionless face.

"Yup, he's a loner all right!" Doflamingo laughs at him.

30 Minutes Earlier, Butterfly Mansion

Shinobu stare at herself in the mirror. Scanning every nook and cranny on her face. She look closely and closely. Her eyes lack pupils, only a haze of gradient purple. Her skin is pale. She has black hair that fades to dark purple at the end. 

She has center-split, ear-length, voluminous curtain bangs that flow down to frame the sides of her face, with two slightly thinner chin-length locks of hair in front of her ears below them. Although she wasn't satisfied with her looks right now. I need to do something about this! 

She took a bottle of camellia oil and put 2 drops of camellia oil on her hand, rub it and put it on her hair. She did it to moisturize her hair, making it look shiny. After that, she use a make-up lightly. She didn't want it to look to obvious, after all.

"Allright, I'm good to go!" She put her hands on the air, cheering for herself. She needs to look better for this night. But suddenly, she starts to blush.

Why am I even doing this? Why did I even bother to find a make-up this evening? That's right, I'm just doing this to look good for this event. I-I-I'm not doing this to impress someone or something!!! She keeps telling her that she did it to look proper for this event, that's all. 

She puts on her haori and her butterfly ornament and went straight to where the event is organized. She took control of her own breathing so that she could keep calm and put on her façade as she smile.

Although, someone keeps on appearing on her head,

And she can't erase it,

No matter what she do....
