pfft 😂
you know i did almost deck him
( from anyone else, she'd take it as a joke — from jinx, she imagines spray paint under her fingernails, a sign drying. she always commits to the bit. )
yes please. i could use your hi-jinx today.
by the way, silco stopped by. i invited him. i hope he'll stop by more.

( it doesn't bug nami — pirates are not generally well known for their morals. mind, luffy's pirates are a breed of their own, but jinx knows that. so ... maybe it's a bad gang? maybe he's a bad guy?
he loves jinx, though. takes care of her. nami can forget the rest if that's true, and it is, so she does. )
think he'll give me tips on how to run it?
it's cool. i've been in with bad crowds before. do you know the scar on my shoulder? under my tattoo?

coming from you, that's a big compliment
i used to have a different tattoo, when i was on a different pirate crew. arlong's crew, really bad news. basically the worst of the worst. he had a 20 million berry bounty on him.
lots of stuff happened, but i cut it off and now i have a tattoo just for me 🍊
point is i'm not intimidated by baddies or badness so don't worry about it
you're good with him so i'm good with him
on the other hand if you're ever mad at him, i'll pour tabasco in his whiskey

Nami [ cajoled, persuaded, strong-armed, heckled ] mentioned you could use a hand restoring the restaurant.
[ As if it weren't already a done deal. ]

But, if you've enough assistance at your disposal already, I'll let her know it won't be necessary.
thats what im good at
doing something abt it 💥
[ she hesitates, then — ]
yeah
they mean a few things i guess
when i was little i
one of the things i made hurt people
my family
sent all these clouds up
that’s when i found silco
[ because he didn’t find her. she chose him first. ]
and my sister
she told me to set off a blue flare if i ever needed her
and she’d find me
i thought i lost her that day so
i don’t know
[ it was a way to keep her around. ]

[ she should be happy sanji’s back — and she is — but she also feels bad, in a way she hadn’t for killing those councillors or the fireflies or the enforcers. the closest thing in her memory is ekko’s hands on her throat, a wet gleam in his eyes —
it’s funny. she hadn’t thought it was wrong until that post had made her seem like the villain. for the first time, she thought she’d done something right. took care of nami. made her happy when she was sad. it figures that she was ruining everything, like always, without even knowing it. ]
the pot’s pretty bad, chef
ruins anything u put it in it
u can throw it out
im sure penelope will give u a new one
maybe even a better one
[ *portia. also, this is a metaphor. you can throw her out and get a new sous chef, sanji. a better one. ]

[ His thoughts scatter in a few directions: the mundanity of it all, as though they weren't in a magical prison weathering the aftershocks of the walking dead; his unwillingness to take instruction from anyone but her; how long it's been since he's really worked with his hands; the pirates, all of them young, all of them eager and grasping; lovely, a joke, but still not a word no one's ever applied to him in seriousness or in jest.
None of it's important.
A minute of searching his phone keyboard, and then: ]
🆗

i was gonna make zoro do the work for me after you left.
[ glossing over that idiot's near catatonic state despite sanji being perfectly fine now — ]
??
i didn't say that. i'm doing you a favor. you've been handling the kitchen all by yourself.
i didn't exactly prep you very well, either, but i heard you did a decent job. you didn't abandon the restaurant. so, thanks.
