Blushing Like a Farm Girl

After a few moments of you calming down with deep breaths and eyes closed, you felt calmer. Although, your face was still flushed.

And not from anger.

Your face turned scarlet once more as you grumbled to yourself, making sure to not look over at Crocodile. You may have overreacted a little bit, just a little. But how else were you supposed to react to that?! Bon did say the rumors said they were lovers, but why couldn't it just be innocent little kisses? Nooooooo! It has to be the full on action.

You groaned.

The prisoners made sure to stay away from you and give you space as you sat on the opposite side of where Crocodile was situated. How the heck can you look at him now without blushing like a farm girl? You then growled to yourself, it's his fault in the first place! You want to beat him up! Just a little, you don't want to kill him. You did after all say you were fond of the man, although you're rethinking that now. You weren't actually going to kill him. You're not that short tempered and easily flustered...
right?

Luffy glanced over at the woman who grumbled, then growled, going back to grumbling with a red face. Luffy looked at Crocodile with a frown.

"Hey!" Crocodile gave him a dry look. "What'd you do to (Y/N)?! She's acting all weird!"

Crocodile looked towards the woman with a red face as she muttered quietly while tapping her fingers on the floorboard nervously, making sure to avoid his eyes.

"Why don't you ask her yourself Mugiwara?"

He had his suspicions on why she was acting like this. Though, Crocodile didn't expect such a degree of anger towards him. Silver Blood was truly too innocent if something like a mere rumor would get her so flustered. His gaze turned towards Mr. 3, who was staying close to the other prisoners while he nervously sweated.

His silver eyes narrowed.

Perhaps he should get rid of him, because of what the fool revealed, Gin Chi called him a degrading name in her anger. And there was a reason that rumor only existed in Baroque Works, he kept it that way. All the idiots around her are already enough of a challenge to deal with, he didn't need more from his own organization when he had it. Although, Crocodile's lips upturned to an arrogant smirk.

The Red Hair has certainly lost the lead, from what Crocodile was able to catch from the conversation between Silver Blood and Straw Hat. The woman was upset with him for hiding information from her about her father. Even he was aware of her interest in trying to find him. Silver Blood does not appreciate lies and deceit, she's famously known for defeating such men from both pirates and marines alike.

And although she was not aware of this rumor before, Crocodile glanced back at the woman managing to catch her looking towards him and then quickly looking away with a red face as she started muttering and face palming hard, she does not seem to be truly upset with him.

No. She's flustered. Like the naive and innocent woman Silver Blood was. Crocodile's smirk widened. It appears she does not know how to properly look at him now, something that amused him greatly.

It was then the Gates of Justice started to open.

You glanced up and saw the doors open slowly, causing you to narrow your eyes in suspicion.

'They weren't supposed to open...someone must have used the control room.' You frowned. Who would do such a thing? You saw Buggy standing in the railing in the front with a pole in his hands as he raises his arms to the heavens. You snorted at the display as the prisoners called him divine. Luffy and Jimbei looked on in confusion, calling out their bewilderment, you stood up and walked over.
