Tease

Chief's Residence

The residence is mostly destroyed, with the roof of the residence seems to be missing and a huge fish demon, that's possibly a mutant is causing a lot of havoc. The fish demon are five times bigger than a normal fish demons, with more vases attached to its back.

On the floor, there were bodies lying cold. Bodies that belonged to swordsmiths and demon slayers that died trying to protect the residence from being breached by the mutant fish demon. Its clear that none of them stand a chance against this mutant fish demon.

A swordsmith is amongst the dead bodies. Clearly that he's still breathing. His hyottoko mask half of it has been destroyed. Revealing his worried eyes to the chief. The fish demon got the chief on its grasp.

Squeezing the chief with its big arm, breaking every single bone belonged to the frail old man while giving him a slow but painful death. Blood is leaking out of the chief's mask as he's at death's door.

I can't let the chief die here! He's the most skilled amongst the other swordsmiths in the village! The swordsmith can't let the chief die here. The old man is the greatest asset that the Corps valued the most. His loss will undoubtedly will cripple the Corps.

The demon easily defeated the Corps members who protect the village. The monster is too big! My attacks won't do anything! And it's freakishly fast! The swordsmith thought. None of his attacks worked at all. The fish demon is way beyond his league.

He tried to get up, but he can't. Then a pair of legs appeared in front of his eyes. Kanroji is standing in front of him, brandishing particularly strange sword. Mitsuri wields an extremely thin, flexible, and long katana akin to a whip. 

"Don't move, I think you have internal injuries!" He warned the swordsmith to not move. The swordsmith is a bit relieved. Reinforcements had finally arrived. 

What's with her sword? Did Chief Tecchin make that? I heard some rumors, but that's really weird! The swordsmith thought. Her whip-katana is pink in color and the katana's handguard is shaped like a 4 leaf clover; the leaves have a pink core with a golden border, with the words Destroyer of Demons engraved on the side.

"Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu, this one is quite big! A larger variant perhaps?" Doflamingo appeared beside Kanroji. The swordsmith is bewildered from where this man came from. Doflamingo is eyeing the fish demon, stating that its bigger than the ones he had slaughtered previously.

"Well, if you possibly can do the honors...." Doflamingo asked whether if Kanroji could take this one for the team. He's a bit curious about what the young lady in front of him could do. He knows that Kanroji is the Love Hashira. He wanted to see her Breathing Technique himself.

"Surely!" She smiled and rushed head-on towards the fish demon.

"Roar!!" The fish demon roared.

"Love Breathing, First Form....

*Slash!*

....Shivers of First Love!!"  Kanroji performs a singular, long-winding swing that cuts it at multiple angles. The fish demon was defeated right there. Doflamingo smirked and clapped for her. He is genuinely entertained.

"Those who needlessly hurt others will never touch my heart." The Love Hashira said with a cold voice as the fish demon slowly starting to disappear. The chief who was in captive by the giant fish demon earlier fall as there's nothing to hold him anymore.

"Chief Tecchin!" She tried to catch the elder swordsmith.

*Fwump*

"I got him. Don't worry." Doflamingo who was there, managed to catch the old swordsmith by the collar of his yukata. Kanroji rushed towards Doflamingo to take a look at the injured old man.

"Are you all right?! Hang in there!" Kanroji is worried for the swordsmith's wellbeing. She snatched the frail short from Doflamingo.

"Don't be such a worrywart, he's still alive." Doflamingo assures Kanroji that he's still alive. Although he needed a medical attention. Kanroji lay the chief on the ground. Let him rest there for a while.

"What you did there earlier, outstanding work" Doflamingo complimented her. The execution of her technique is excellent. Her flexibility is also superhuman. Although Doflamingo is quite curious over her sword. Its flexible, and yet sharp and the same time.

"Thank you for that. It was nothing, really..." She avoided looking at Doflamingo in the eye. She is blushing red as tomato from his compliment. Doflamingo noticed and decided to tease her a little bit further.

"Are you okay?" Doflamingo approach her and grabbed her arm, pulling her closer to him. She was shocked by Doflamingo. She didn't expect him to do this to her. Their eyes staring into each other. She freaked out. Eek! Too close! Too close!

"I-I-I'm okay!" She replied. She didn't know what to do. Her face is bright red from embarrassment. Her heart is beating really fast. Doflamingo giggled in his heart. He loved her reaction. 

"Well then, if you say so." He let her go. Doflamingo decided that's enough for today. He had fun in teasing her.

"Take care of them. I'm going to clean the place." Doflamingo floated slowly in the air and flew away to the night sky, telling Kanroji to tend to those who are injured in the invasion. He's going to take care of the fish demons that are roaming the village.

*Fwoosh*

 Seeing that the Joker had left, she lets out a sigh of relief. Kanroji is really flustered by what Doflamingo just did. Their face is very close to each other. She was about to scream from that moment.

The moment they stared at each other's eyes made Kanroji so flustered to the point she can't think straight. Steam comes out of her ears showing the fact that she can't processed what just happened.

However, looking at his eyes Kanroji could see something behind the red tinted glasses. Doflamingo had a cold, lifeless eyes. The eyes of someone that had been through a lot. As if Doflamingo is trying to hide something using the glasses.

Truly, just what did Doflamingo is hiding from them?

Snapping back to reality, she immediately tend to the injured and carrying them out to a safer place. She knew that this is only the first wave of the attack. The fish demons might be some kind of Blood Demon Art. They might be facing an Upper Moon.
