Doflamingo looked around as his brother entered the building by himself.
"I thought you said Charlotte was coming?' He asked his younger brother.
"She had family issues to handle, part of the reason I was late" Corazon said calmly. "Now let's get this started.
Corazon was not being his usual observant self. "What's going on with you Corazon-San you are on your phone more today" Doffy confronted his brother who was texting away on his phone.
"Yeah um, Charlotte is going away for a while, she has to go to her families the main house," He said.
Doflamingo let an irritated huff as they carried on with the tour "When will she back" he asked nonchalantly.
"The opening of the casino around that time," he said as his phone rang. "I have to take this," he said
"Hey Zoro, how are they" Where the only words the group heard has Corazon walked away.
_____
Its been 3 weeks since then the world believes what the Clarence said, that Alicia Clarence had died on an overdosage, not hard to beleive and not the first time she has overdosed in reality she was tortured slowly while her daughters that she abused for so long watched as their mother slowly died in agony.
Caroline was now living with their grandmother the old head of the family where she can heal mentally around her loving family the same way Charlotte was healed. Once everything was okay, Charlotte knew it was time to return to the Big City. She has work to do and a life to live plus she missed her friends dearly.
Now her curls were clipped back from her face, her lips were painted bright velvet red, diamond chandelier earrings hung from her neck as she wore the turtle neck gown with the side having x on the sides revealing a bit of side boo. The dress was long sleeves the skirt was a little tight but had a slit that allowed her legs to move around revealing the gold strappy heels. She grabbed her golden ball like a purse as she walked out her townhouse where Zoro waited for her.
"You know you can go back to the head house right?" She said as he helped her in the car.
"Your father and grandparents told me to watch over you for an extra week, personally they are making take a vacation by doing this," He said casually as the car drove to the Dressrosa Casino and Hotel.
"Well you haven't seen everyone in awhile only Nami on occasion, tell me when was the last time you saw Robin?" She asked smirking when Zoro froze a little.
"Thought so," She said as they sat in comfortable silence as they drove to the Casino that was really busy anybody who was anybody was here. The press was quite wild also as Zoro guided her through the front door as they entered and was guided towards the main ballroom where the party was happening.
Charlotte immediately caught a glimpse of Doflamingo surrounded by beautiful women and like his brother who was surrounded by more guys as well. Corazon was enjoying the attention from both genders.
"So why is the tall guy in a light pink shirt and blond hair glaring at me" Zoro whispered in her ear as they walked towards our group of friends.
"That's Doffy," I said. "Corazon's brother"
"Oh that's the guy that made you limp for a week," He said amused.
"Nami?" I asked.
He chuckled and nodded as I walked towards the orange haired girl hugging her tightly.
"it's only been a week and I missed you so much," She said happily.
"Its been a month for me" A soothing voice sounded revealing the raven-haired beauty known as Robin a well know Archaeologist who travelled with Luffy on his expeditions.
You hugged her and then hugged Luffy who on rare occasions actually wore a suit.
Then the perverted cook who was in a stare down and verbal argument with Zoro.
"Sanji?" I called for him.
"Charlotte- San" He squealed if he was animated he would have had heart eyes, Charlotte thought as she hugged Sanji.
"Heard you guys are catering this event, congratulations," she said.
"Frankie couldn't make it, and Chopper is working a night shift today," Nami told Charlotte.
"I miss chopper, he so cute," Charlotte said while pouting. "By the way what about Brook?" She asked.
Nami glared "He is knocked out for now," Robin commented with a secretive giggle.
"What happened?" Charlotte asked. "Wait, he asked to see your panties, so who is singing tonight?"
They all turned to her. "No" She answered immediately.
"Why not your voice is so_" Sanji drifted off with a loving facial expression.
"Why?" she asked
"Please" Luffy begged "We haven't heard you sing in a long time"
"One song, that's it," she said.
Nami squealed hugging her best friends. Nami looked up and saw the imposing man of the night and his family walk towards the friend group.
"Ooo look your lover is coming back" She whispered in Charlotte's ear.
"Wait what," Charlotte asked as she was turned by Nami saw them approaching.
She ran in her heels to Corazon who accepted her in open arms and lifted her up off her feet.
"You look amazing," Corazon said twirling her around.
"You two, since we are matching" She commented "You look great in red," she said.
He was wearing a red suit with a black button-up shirt with no tie. His blond hair was combed back and he wore shiny black shoes. "so your gonna sing tonight?" he asked.
Charlotte looked down at him still in his arms as she glared. "unfortunately, I am doing too much honestly for you" She said as he put her down back on her feet.
"I've never seen you perform live, so it will be fun," Corazon said feeling no sympathy just amusement and excitement.
"You can sing," Doflamingo said smiling, "Looking forward to hearing from you"
Charlotte turned to Dolfamingo and his huge figure. "You should, last time I'm doing this," She said shaking hands politely as the man took his opportunity dragging her closer to his body. He whispered in her ear.
"You look amazing in that dress, but I prefer you with nothing on," he said huskily in her ear making her almost collapse on her knees.
She kept her face neutral, "Thank you for the compliment, Sir" She said. As a party planner came towards her.
"Ms Roberston, I am sorry but the band need to know what song you are going to sing," She said calmly.
"Huh, okay," Charlotte said "I must take my leave Donquixote Family," She said formally as she walked away putting a little sway in her hips that made Doflamingo want her even more.
"So that's the guy that made Charlotte_" Robin cut off Luffy with a hand over his mouth.
"What?" Doflamingo asked with a big smile on his face.
"Luffy lets dance," Nami said dragging Luffy away.
"Robin-Chan_" Sanji was cut off by Zoro who took Robin's hand to go dance.
Corazon laughed "why am I all alone" Sanji cursed out before walking to the bar to get another drink.
"Where was she this past month?" Doflamingo asked
"I told you family problems," Corazon said as he walked away well more like skipped away.
