"Waaaaah! You look so good (y/n)!" Dellinger smiled mischievously. "We may have to just steal you!"

You paled at the thought. Dellinger made it sound way too easy to kidnap you and his shiny horns weren't exactly encouraging.

"Uh... please... don't do that..." you chuckled nervously raising your hands in surrender.

'Wow (y/n) that was so convincing'

"Don't tease her like that! She's clearly not fond of the idea of being kidnapped!" Baby 5 scolded.

'Please introduce me to the people fond of the idea of being kidnapped. They need a friend'

"But you do look gorgeous (y/n)" Monet smiled as she sipped on her hot drink.

Honestly you felt like what you were wearing was a bit too extravagant for a baker about to go into a business meeting. But it was definitely the best thing that they had to offer, after all the hassle you went through. When they'd finally calmed you down they guided you to a little runway with a large pile of outfits. It was like they were hosting a fashion show. Each one suggesting outfits to wear and the others critiquing. At first it was awkward, but after the fourteenth outfit you got used to it.

Every outfit that Dellinger suggested had a matching pair of heels, however heels weren't exactly working for you on a swaying boat. All the outfits that Baby 5 displayed were a bit too... suggestive for a work meeting. And Monets outfits prevented air flow due to how tight they were. The pile was getting smaller and smaller until you'd basically worn them all.

"Waaah you look so good in everything but it doesn't scream 'QUEEN'" Dellinger whined and you laughed.

"I wonder..." Monet mumbled looking at you.

She then walked out of the room.

"Should we follow-?"

"Why don't you try this (Y/n)" she handed you a (f/c) jumpsuit.

It was a backless held up with a neck piece and had two wrist attachments. It looked casual yet professional and the best part was it was your favourite colour. You hurried around the curtain to try it on, and when you came out, your three fashionistas squealed in excitement

"I guess we found it ..." Monet chuckled to herself.

"Kyaaa! This is gonna be so much fun!" Dellinger started bouncing on the spot.

Before you knew it you were dragged away to do hair and makeup. When you were done, your hair was in a high ponytail, your origami flower being the centre piece.

"Isn't this a bit much... I mean we're only going to discuss business right?" you thought as you looked in the mirror.

"Well yes... but the young master has high standards... He is a king afterall" Baby 5 reminded.

"R-Right..." you muttered.

"Ugh! Who are you! And why are you interrupting our fun!?" Dellinger shrieked.

"The young master is ready for the female baker" a fully grown man in a baby outfit walked in.

'Why is everyone putting so much emphasis on the fact that I am female? Did Liv say something to them during her meeting to try and throw them off my scent...' you considered the idea for a moment.

"PINK! So you're escourting (y/n)?" Dellinger sighed. "That's too bad I wanted to escourt her"

"I wouldn't volunteer to do something so trivial as escorting a girl around for her safety" He glanced down at you then looked away.

"Still hard boiled as ever i see" Monet chuckled behind her wing. "(Y/n), Senor will take you to see the young master now. Don't worry he has a soft spot for ladies so he won't do anything to you" she whispered the last part in your ear.

"R-Right..." you stuttered

"Don't look so tense (Y/n), I know you need me so if young master does anything to you, I'll kill him" Baby 5 took a puff of her cigar.

'I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S TREASON!' A horrified look painted your face.

Upon seeing your expression everyone laughed, except Señor Pink who just raised a brow at your reaction.

"Don't worry Baby 5 has tried to kill the young master many times, but he hasn't died" Monet chuckled.

'THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT BETTER! Although... this guy did send his men to kidnap me' you defended.

"I think we should get going Ms Baker, Young master doesn't like to be kept waiting" Señor Pink exited the room. You nodded and waved goodbye to your strange new friends and ran after senor.

------------------------------------------------------------

You soon learned that Señor was an excellent swimmer as he did forward stroke to your destination. When you think about it, Someone doing a forward stroke through solid materials probably wasn't the strangest thing you'd seen. You both made your way to the meeting room in silence. Honestly, if it wasn't for the gentle swaying you never would've guessed that you were on a ship. The halls had red carpeting and white walls. A few pink tapestries were draped here and there as you walked. In the distance you could see two pink large doors.

'I guess that's where he is? He sure does seem to like the colour pink' you thought.

Before you and Señor reached the doors, they creaked open and out came a very angry Diamanté and a very upset Trebol. It felt as though you were the first successful cryogenically frozen test subject. Your mind went blank and you were stuck to the spot. Before you even considered running a gentle arm was wrapped round your shoulder.

"You're the perfect hieght to rest on" Pink stated.

He didn't even make eye contact with you, but you could tell that in his own way, he was trying to reasure you that he wasn't gonna let anything happen. It was almost like he was protecting you like a big brother.

"Neh~ Neh~ Diamanté? Isn't that the baker girl right now?" Trebol laughed as he swayed his way over.

"Yes it is... It seems we got into a lot of trouble because of you" Diamanté grimaced and you looked away.

The last thing that you wanted was another re-match.

"It's only because you guys aren't real men!" Pink spoke up.

"What was that Pink?" Diamante sneered.

"I shouldn't have to repeat myself. If you guys stopped hanging around those harlots and actually learnt how to treat a lady properly, like a real man, you wouldn't be in your predicament" Señor boldly stated.

"Neh~ Neh~ Señor! Aren't you the one swarmed with women all the time?" Trebol asked, way too close to his face.

"I don't ask them to be there, I just don't see any reason in sending them to you guys" Pink coolly stated.

"You should really watch that mouth of yours Señor. Remember who you're taking to" Diamanté lowly growled.

An uncomfortable silence made it's way into the conversation making it very hard for you to breathe. It felt as though if you made one wrong move, everyone would break out into a massive brawl. Diamanté was the first to move away.

"Come on Trebol... we still have work to do..." He glared at Pink and then turned to you and smirked. "You've really dolled up... I'm sure we'll have another chance to chat..."

Diamanté then strolled down the hallway, Trebol swaying behind him. As soon as they were out of sight your lungs alerted the brain that you were allowed to have oxygen again.

"Th-Thank you" you breathed out.

"I didn't do it for you. I was only telling them to be men" he pressed forward and you smiled.

'He's like a tsundere raised in the mafia...' you giggled at the thought and followed.

Señor stopped outside the door and glanced towards you. "He'll be in there just knock" He said before back-stroking away.

'Alright (Y/n) you just have to decline the offer, explain why then leave' you breathed. 'I'm totally not ready for this' you internally sobbed.

A muffled "Come in..." was heard on the other side of the door.

'You got this!'

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The room was massive. Like seriously huge. The walls were also white, but there were windows lined across every wall except the one behind you. The carpet was pink, the chandelier was pink, and in the centre of the In the centre of the room was a long rectangular table which cut straight across the room. And i'm sure you can guess the colour of the table cloth.

'Yup! Pink is definitely this guys thing!' you gazed in awe around the room, unconsciously taking a few steps forward.

You were about to take another step forward but jumped back when something was shot at the place you were going to be.

"Fufufufufufu~ I guess they weren't exaggerating when they said you were quick" A man sat on the window-ledge to your right chuckled.

'This man did not just try to shoot me to test a theory' you could feel a little anger rising in yourself.

"I'm sorry but the last time I checked you don't fire at people to get they're attention you just ask" You glared.

"Well aren't you the feisty one" he smirked. "Especially since I've been told how kind you are. Offering a tissue to my executive was definitely a new one."

'He's smiling!? does he think that my predicament is funny' You lost at that point. Screw it. You'd tried to stay nice and quiet the whole day, but you were ready to tell this man his business.

"I'm not normally considered feisty, but today just hasn't been my day. I was woken up very early to what sounded like someone trying to break into my house. This was followed by two men attacking and kidnapping me. I've been put through a series of awkward and uncomfortable scenarios and outfits in order to please someone I haven't even met before. And I'm pretty sure your lap dogs have it out for me. So don't expect me to be charming your majesty when you start using me for target practice. I'm not here to play pretend and suck up to you. I'm here to tell you that you need to learn some manners" You fumed.

"...fufufufu~ You are aware that your talking to the king of Dressrosa, and a warlord right now" He calmly reminded.

"I assumed that was you, but quiet frankly your title means nothing to me. You could be Gold. D. Rodger or the son of a homeless person, and I would still tell you that your rude! Besides your lapdogs already put me through the scariest thing I can imagine..." you sighed.

Doflamingo was stunned with your reaction. If it was anybody else he probably wouldve thrown them out of the window without hesitation, but you were different. It was almost enjoyable watching you try to lecture him. Your (s/c) skin was complimented by your (h/l) (h/c) hair. And there was no need to even mention your figure. The fact that you were so small and weak compared to him, yet despite that, you spoke your mind without any hesitation. It was refreshing.

"It seems that my family have made quite the impression. I'm sorry about how you were brought here. You were meant to be formaly invited" He stood and walked over to you. "You were only going to be taken if you refused"

'Oh how thoughtful, thank you so much for clearing up that misunderstanding' you frowned at the man now making his way towards you. 'Geez is everyone in power just huge or what?'

He was tall, very tall and built, with short blonde hair. What made him truly stand out was his fashion sense. Those pink and white animal print shorts alon with a white unbuttoned T-shirt. His wierd looking shades and that pink feathery coat.

'He's definitely living up to the standards of a flamingo. Long legs with a pink fluff ball on top' You thought to yourself.

"Kidnapping should never have been an option!" you growled.

"Anyway... I assume you know why you were brought here little baker? Your cakes were tasted by my youngest and oldest subordinates sugar and Lao G. She couldn't seem to get enough of them. I'm also pretty sure that you almost gave Lao G diabetes..." He shook his head and smiled. "Both of them insisted to hire you as a personal baker for the Donquixote family. Although from the way your island representative made it sound, I assumed you were gonna be a sweaty old man, not a pretty young woman" He kneeled in front of you and smirked.

Of course the close proximity was bad enough, but the compliment did the real damage. You were fighting a strong blush forcing its way onto its face. You knew what he was doing but dang it the smooth guys always got you.

'He's totally glossing over the fact that I was being kidnapped' you sighed.

"I'm flattered that they liked my baking but- EEP!" you shrieked as he ran a hand down your arm. "Wh-what are you doing!?" You backed away immediately.

He was carefully inspecting your movements. Watching you with a cold stare.

"I was just wondering how you were able to knead dough even though you look so weak. Fufufufu~ you look so terrified" He chuckled to himself.

"Do I really need to explain why I'm like this?!" You yelled back.

"I really like you. You're really fun to mess with" he smiled.

You could feel the goosebumps rising on your (s/c) skin, though that didn't stop the blood rushing to your face. You could hear Doflamingo chuckling in the background. He was clearly having the time of his life teasing you.

"C-Can you please get back to the point..." you breathed as you started to fiddle with your hair.

You had no idea how to deal with this man.

"Ah yes! Fufufufufu Basically I was going to offer you a new home in Dressrosa. We would have built you your own bakery in Dressrosa where you could bake privately for us, but also host customers as well. I would of course triple your wage and you would be under the complete protection of the King" He smirked.

"You phrased that in past tense" you skeptically pointed out.

"How observant of you... You're right! I was going to offer you that, but I've met you in person and your much more interesting than I anticipated fufufufufu~" he chuckled. "I would like you to come live in Dressrosa palace, under my name"

It took approximately three seconds for what he said to sink in.

"WHAT?!" You backed up against the door.

"You've taken a liking to Monet and Baby-5 so you could stay with them" He continued. "I can provide you with anything you want"

"Anything I want?" you chuckled bitterly "Deals like that don't come cheap and I'm struggling to see what you gain from all this. I've seen enough to know that you're no saint..." you eyed him suspiciously as he made his way over to you.

"Women like you are very rare" he shrugged. "A pretty little female Baker, able to dodge attacks that are faster than bullets from one of my top executives, as long as you feel as though your life is in danger, yet still worry about the his health."

'Trust me when I say I don't know how that happened either. I am just too tired to argue with fate right now.'

"Fufufu~ and don't think I didn't notice this lovely little charm" he dangled your bracelet in front of you.

'What?! When did he?!'

"When I was checking your arm strength It caught my eye" he read you like an open book, his grin only widening.

You went to snatch it, but he pulled it just out of your reach. It was almost as if Doflamingo had found a cat to play with.

"It's quite incredible really, you've got a lot of strong people, and a couple of idiots, hanging on your wrist and you haven't even used one of them to threaten me, even though I have used my title to intimidate you many times" He carefully inspected the piece of jewellery you were still trying to take from him.

He was being extra careful around Kid's charm seeing as there was sea prism in it. "Just goes to show that you don't coast off of other people's hard work" He proceeded. "I feel as though having you around would be interesting for our crazy family."

"Gotcha!" you cheered as you managed to snatch the bracelet from him.

Unfortunately, you didn't stick the landing and started to fall backwards. However you were caught, suspended even, in mid air. You were being supported by some strings. Doflamingo couldn't help but chuckle at your surprised face.

"I believe I owe you for your rough treatment on being brought here, so I'll give you a day to think it over."

'Wow you're such a saint' you thought as you lifted yourself up from the strings.

"Monet will escort you home little Miss (Y/n). Think carefully about your decision" He starightened up and left the room, leaving you baffled and speechless.

'Can someone explain to me what just happened?'
