(Third Person POV)
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Shaw muttered as he straightened his jacket, what he had been told by Valor who had been told by Sengoku, the Royal Shichibukai had meetings once every month to see if they were in check & not causing to much ruckus
"Oh suck it up, I'll be there!"
"That's what I'm afraid of." Valor hmphed before putting his hat on, Shaw was about to leave but the three children tackled him to the ground "Whoa whoa whoa!"
"Papa!" they whine together "How long will you be gone?!"
"I'm not sure, maybe a few, long, hours."
"We don't want you to go papa!"
"Yeah, can't you stay?!" he chuckled & stood up, with Valor's help
"Oh I wish, I really don't want to go to this." Valor had smirked & wrapped an arm around Shaw's neck
"But I do, uncle Storm should be keeping you company!" they pout "I'm sorry kiddos but uncle Valor needs papa to do this!"
"Okay…~"
"One last hug?" Shaw chuckled again & had his arms out, the trio immediately running into his arms
"Your making it seem like I'm not coming back you dorks." he grinned as he wiggled Spark's nose "Let's get going, I heard Sengoku isn't a patient guy. Me being the new guy & all."
"Your right, let's go." it took awhile to get there but they were at least on time, Valor told Shaw to be his original height, so he did. Valor was like up to his shin or a few inches taller if you compared their heights
"Unknown Monster Tamer–sama has finally arrived with his partner, along side them is Dracule Mihawk–sama!" the two enter the building in absolute silence & Valor was sweating up a storm, it was ultimately scary if the two are stuck together
"Fufufu~ who's this guy?" a voice said from behind them, it was Donquixote Doflamingo. He had this cherisher cat like grin that made Valor's stomach do flips, he smirked "Someone scared!"
"Enough, Doflamingo!" all three look back & saw Sengoku, they stayed quiet & followed him into the meeting. Inside was Kuma & a rare sight, Boa Hancock & her snake
"4 out of 7, 5 if you count the new guy."
"Who is he? I heard he has an army of monsters!" Doflamingo cheered as he sat on the table, Shaw kicked a chair & sat in it with his legs on the table
"Oh he does, I'm Valor by the way." Sengoku nodded as he sat down, along with Mihawk
"What's his name?" Shaw looked at him but his hat was still shading his eyes away
"Its… um, Terrance! We call him Terry for short!" Shaw looked at him with widened eyes & kicked his leg & gave him a look
"Terry? Are you serious?!"
"What?! It was the only name I could come up with!!"
"Seriously, you could've called me Bryce & I wouldn't care, but Terry?! Are you fucking kidding me?!"
"Now if we can start this meeting, we'll be talking about Straw Hat Luffy." Shaw sat up straight while Hancock started blushing
"Oh, Luffy~!" she trailed off in a sing song voice, he showed them the newspaper that they already read so he looked back at Sengoku
"Straw Hat has been causing us enough trouble, now that we know he's alive I expect us to find him… & eliminate him!" Hancock instantly snapped out of his love sick stage & glared at him, Shaw did the same
"Eliminate him, over my dead body!"
"Snake Princess!" Hancock also had someone with her, it was that old lady "What she meant to say was, how can she kill someone when it is a waste of time!"
"Hancock, we don't know what kind of relationship you have with Straw Hat, but--" he was cut off when she started blushing again
"Relationship…?! Is it that obvious?!" then she was rambling on & on about being Luffy's wife, which surprised the hell out of Shaw
"Valor, tell him how does he plan to find Luffy?"
"Sengoku, Terry-- *got kicked in the leg* Terrance asked, how do you plan on finding Straw Hat Luffy?" Sengoku looked him dead straight at him & said
"We go to the last place he was, Saboday. His ship is still there, unguarded & everything!" Shaw's eyes widened
'The Sunny Go is still there?! & Luffy plans to leave it there for 2 years?! Argh, dammit!'
Sengoku keeps going on about Luffy, then the conversation changed to the Whitebeard pirates, & how Whitebeard has another son, that interested Shaw
"How are you sure he's Whitebeard's biological son?" Valor asked, that got most of the Shichibukai interested
"He claims that he is Weevel Newgate, Or so he claims. The fact that he's at least around Whitebeard's height & wields a bisento as a weapon, & he also has a white moustache shaped like his, its crazy."
"Do you have a picture of Weevel?" he pulled out a wanted poster & Shaw's heart almost broke… Sengoku's description on this man was so accurately true, he looked almost like his father
"Shaw, is this man your brother?!"
"I-- I don't…"
"Is he or is he not?!"
"I don't know, okay! Don't pressure me on a subject I'm not entirely sure is true, Valor!"
"We need further evidence that this man, is the actual son of Whitebeard. Unlike Dead Shot Shawn, I need to make sure that Weevel is NOT his brother." Shaw clenched his hand in his fist
"Fufufu~ what if this so called guy is Shaw-kun's brother?"
"Then he's going to have to be on our hit list." Sengoku stood up "That is all for today, you are excused."
"Thank god."
"Oh suck it up baby, it wasn't that bad!" they walk out but suddenly Doflamingo wrapped an arm around Shaw's neck
"You are unbelievably tall, let's be friends!" Shaw looked down & saw that he was extending a hand to him "Oh come on, I don't bite. Or, well, not yet! Fufufu~" he sighed & grabbed his hand
"Terrance said it's a pleasure to meet you, Doflamingo." he grinned
"How polite, its nice to meet you too, friend." surprisingly, Shaw smiled & chuckled at the slender male
"He'd love to stay & chat, but we have to get outta here!" Valor grabbed his leg & started pulling him away, he waved at Doflamingo goodbye before walking away
"Bye bye, friend!" Shaw chuckled as the two walked onto the ship
"He looks crazy & he almost killed a pair of siblings I knew but, he's pretty funny."
"Your actually going to be friends with that deranged guy."
"Yeah, if I'm going to those boring meetings, I'm at least making a friend with pinkie feathers over there!" Valor rolled his eyes
"Whatever you say man."
