Doflamingo raised his hand, and Kid clenched his fists in response but neither of them brought it down. If anything, they froze. The entire field was dead quiet, no one knew what to do, including you. When Doflamingo saw you standing in front of Kid with your hands up in a stopping gesture, you couldn't tell what was gonna happen next.
'Why did I do that?'
------------------------------------------------------------————-
Your breath hitched slightly when Doflamingo finally spoke
"Move," he said coldly
The fact he was giving you a chance to correct your mistake was true mercy in itself. Maybe it was because he was wasn't in the mood for dealing with extra paperwork resulting from an assault on an employee.
"I don't think it would be wise for you to get into a fight with a trainee soldier Lieutenant" you began.
"He's challenging my authority, I'm just going to teach him some manners" Doflamingo explained.
'Like hell you are!' You gave him an 'as if' look.
"I didn't think manners were in your vocabulary, you can barely manage personal space" you scoffed.
There were a few snickers but it was probably the sharp gasps and shocked faces from the trainees that made you realize you'd said the last part out loud.
'I'm dead' you internally wept.
Of course, the boisterous laugh behind you was the last lily on your coffin.
"You've got guts pipsqueak" The large grin on Kid's face couldn't be hidden even if he was wearing a paper bag over his head. "And here I thought you were just lost"
"My name isn't pipsqueak, so don't call me that" you retorted.
He was taken aback by your snappy comment for about less than a second.
"Sure thing pipsqueak " he smirked, completely amused by your fearlessness.
A few whispers started to rise from the crowd who were starting to take more notice in you. To stand in the way of a Lieutenant and then have an argument in front of him, it wasn't exactly normal.
"Kid! 300 push-ups followed by 120 laps around the field" Crocodile's voice boomed.
Kid grunted but did as he was told immediately and without verbal complaint.
"As for the rest of you... QUIT GAWKING AND GET YOUR ASSES IN GEAR" Crocodile roared to the crowd, causing them to disperse instantly. "Doflamingo, don't give me unnecessary paperwork"
"Then control your rabid dogs," Doflamingo remarked before breaking into a grin. "Well it doesn't matter... this penalty will suffice"
He turned his head to see Kid in the same spot doing push-ups at a remarkable pace. The sight probably irked Doflamingo because, after watching him for a few seconds he walked around you and kicked dirt in his face.
"Sir!" You protested.
"We're leaving in 15 minutes" he informed you before strolling away.
'He's such a child' you shook your head.
"Damn bastard" Crocodile growled. "Oi Girl! There's a thin line between bravery and stupidity! The next time you jump between a fight like that, it'll be your last"
With that, Crocodile lit a cigar and walked in the direction Doflamingo was heading. You let out a sigh and curved your attention to the redhead doing pushups without fail.
