I really really love Penguin, and I think I could've done him better justice tbh! Anyway, enjoy!!<3


The Polar Tang hummed softly as it moved through the depths of the ocean, the gentle sway of the submarine a welcome change from the chaos of the past few days. After the hellish island you'd just left behind, the dim lighting and familiar hum of the engines felt almost comforting.

You leaned against the wall of the common area, a cup of water in hand, as Penguin and Shachi stood nearby, their usual grins in place.

"I still can't believe you actually jumped off that cliff" Penguin started, shaking his head with a chuckle. Shachi snorted. "Yeah, what kind of maniac takes Captain's 'find another way down' as a suggestion to plummet off the side of a mountain?"

You rolled your eyes and sighed. "Okay, firstly, I panicked.. secondly, it was a small cliff, and thirdly it worked, didn't it?". Penguin grinned. "Yeah, yeah. You're lucky Bepo caught you, though".

"Otherwise, you'd be really part of the ocean now" Shachi added, making an exaggerated motion of sinking.

You huffed a laugh. Bantering with these two was second nature at this point, it was one of the few things that helped keep your nerves in check after stressful missions like the one you'd just escaped from.

Just as you were about to throw back a retort, the sound of boots approaching made you all straighten up instinctively. Captain's presence.

Law stepped into the room, clipboard in hand, scanning over it before speaking. "Chores for the week". His tone was flat, matter of fact, as always.

The crew groaned collectively, but Law ignored it, listing off tasks without a care for the reactions. "Shachi, you're on engine maintenance with Ikkaku. Penguin, water filtration checks. Bepo-"

You tuned out for a moment, sipping your water as the assignments continued. "And Y/N" Law finally said, making you perk up slightly. "You'll be handling deep storage inventory and cleaning, as well as the medical bay's supply cabinets. I expect everything to be checked, organised, and fully accounted for. No slacking".

A beat of silence followed, then, Shachi let out a low whistle. Penguin winced. "Damn" Shachi muttered. "That's rough".

Law, oblivious, or perhaps just uncaring, moved on to the final assignments before snapping his clipboard shut. "That's all. Get to it". He turned and strode out without another word, leaving the room in silence.

You exhaled slowly, rubbing your face. Deep storage inventory and the med bay cabinets? That was going to take forever. As soon as Law was out of earshot, Penguin slung an arm around your shoulders. "Damn, what did you do to piss off the captain?"
