“Mhmm…” He knew of Egghead, having a general understanding of the islands in the New World. After all, he needed to know who could be an ally and who may be a threat. He had a clear picture of their own territory though, knowing it inside and out. “Morgan doesn’t waste time spreading the news,” -

❝ Well, you might've already known, but that cheeky Straw-hat made his way to Egghead island. You know the futuristic one? ❞ Peppermint mused, reaching a hand inside her colorful and striped jacket, pulling out a newspaper and holding it up to her brother. ❝ Big News Morgan already got his >>

Nodding his head as he fell into step beside her, the spurs of his boots clicked as they walked. The mention of Strawhat drew in his interest, rose colored eyes drifting down to her for a moment. “Oh? And what would that be?” The boy was strong, that was certain. Before that fight, it -

❝Of course! What kind of sister would I be if I 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 have gossip .ᐣ Also, I have some about a certain Straw-hat boy if you catch my drift. ❞ Peppermint smirked up at her younger half brother, her glossy white optic gleaming with obvious excitement.

Everything had been calm for him as of late so he didn’t see any reason he couldn’t spend some time with her. Giving her a nod, he uncrossed his legs and stood up to his full height. Talk and menacing, very few of his siblings knew any softness inside of him, and he kept it that way to keep them -

His observation haki never failed to identify whom or what were nearing Mama's estate so it never surprised Joconde that he was already expecting her, Admiration and a sense of safety swelled up inside her very core whenever she were near Katakuri. " I just came to visit Mama and the rest of our++

The moment he heard hooves against the ground, he know who it was, his haki flaring out from him and recognizing who it was. He nodded his head, leg bouncing as the spurs rattled. “Good afternoon, sister. What brings you to Mama’s?”

The clicking of hooves galloping along the sugary walkway approached the main entry way of Mama's Manor, Tugging back on the reigns of her stallion to halt its movements to then bring her attention up at her elder brother. " Katakuri? I thought that was you.. "

Taking a seat upon a nearby bench, Katakuri crossed one leg over the other and crossed his arms. He leaned back to make himself comfortable while watching the citizens of Totto Land, rose colored hues keeping an eye out for any signs of trouble.

Rose colored eyes stared down at her for a long moment as he considered his options. If she was going to be there, it was best he stay close. “Then you won’t mind me coming with you to make sure.”

She held her hands up in defense, still visibly tense and wary. "Oh please. If I was going to cause trouble, I would have brought some guards. I've been on my best behavior."

Feeling her surprised gaze settling on him, he chuckled beneath his scarf, fingers moving to tuck in his pockets as they walked. He was always so busy but there needed to be more balance, he had decided that after the incident of the tea party but once again got swept up in the every day -

Peppermint blinked, her face turning slightly upward to face her younger half brother surprised. It was a good kind of surprise, after all she had missed their younger days where they caused trouble, not on purpose however.

“Shopping? Really?” His voice held distrust in the upward questions he proposed, tilting his head. Of course he would be ready to strike if need be but his haki didn’t indicate the need quite yet.

𝑺𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑨𝒊𝒏𝒆@stainednobility.bsky.social · 2y ago

He isn't trying to kill or arrest her? She may be able to play this off, then. "I'm simply here to do some shopping. Is that a problem?"

It was true he had his own land to govern over, and he would do that when he could. His close knit group of underlings were tasked with keeping an eye on things while he was gone. He wanted to make sure he could keep an eye on the other lands in the kingdom, as well as be on the look -

❝That's what I would expect from my dear brother. Always keeping an eye on things even if everyone else is busy with their own islands and what not. ❞ Peppermint snickered, as her glossy white optic opened slightly while a gentle smile graced her aged features. ↓

Been making yourself at home in my closet, have you?

Watching her trying to figure out if she has anything else on her with that pot was amusing, pulling a smile to his lips that’s hidden beneath his scarf. Being around others covered in culinary ingredients was nothing to him, seeing as he was surrounded by that back at home. “I think you -

before any bashfulness or timorous notions can sink in, sanji has something else to worry about. “do i have something on me?” she squeaks, bordering on panic. earlier, she used some yellow icing, so if any of that ended up on her face— the wheels start spinning in her head, but broad fingers —

His lips curled into a smile, though it couldn’t be seen for rhe fluffy scarf around his neck, it reached upward to crinkle the sides of rose colored eyes. “Because it’s an important day. A celebration that you are still alive and well.”

Of course she would be doing those things, a smile growing upon his lips as he listened to her. He adored his family, and she was one of the more special ones to him. They each had their own place in his heart. “Keeping an eye on things. Nothing of excitement going on…which has been a pleasant -

Peppermint hummed, walking with her brother with her arms behind her back, before looking up at him nonchalantly. ❝Eh, you know the usual, looking after Sweet Cane, annoying Peros. What about you .ᐣ ❞ The Candy Cane Minister questioned, still looking up at him curious before she looked ahead.

Rose colored hues stared down at her, strong arms crossing as he frowned. “What are you doing here?”

𝑺𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑨𝒊𝒏𝒆@stainednobility.bsky.social · 2y ago

@discerningmochi.bsky.social ! It seems her days of sneaking into Totto Land are done.

Tucking his hands inside his pockets, he stepped closer, gaze roaming over her outfit. She’s dressed up suddenly and perhaps in a bit of a rush, if the little bit of flour upon her neck is any indication. “Of course I’m here.” A little bit of amusement trickled in his voice as he reached out -

𓏲 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐉𝐈 ๑ ˚.@swirlbrows.bsky.social · 2y ago

”... you’re here,” she remarks slowly, like it’s some type of inconceivable concept to see him aboard merry. not much time passed since the events on whole cake, but that doesn’t stop her memories from identifying it as forever ago. looking back, reminders of that harrowing time in her life —

Leading her down the street, hands tucked in his pockets, he kept on alert as they headed to the bakery. “Anything else interesting going on these days?”

𝐏𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐭 ℳ. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞 🍬@candycanequeen.bsky.social · 2y ago

“Alright! That's good with me!”

The sound of clicking spurs and boots would indicate his arrival, clad in his usual jeans and a vest but with pink accents. He paused in the doorway to take her in, smiling beneath the scarf around his neck. “It smells wonderful in here, you’ve been busy.” He was used to the smells of baking -

— great, except she’s covered in powdered sugar and there’s raspberry stains on her apron. is there anything serviceable to slip into before he gets here?! sanji ends up settling on a rose-pink dress that was gifted to her a while back from the okamas on momoiro island, unclipping her hair —

“If you do, I’ll catch you.” Placing his hand on the small of Rosinante’s back, he led him toward the dining hall. He had given strict instructions for a small snack setting for two but wouldn’t be surprised if there was more than that.

Tilting his head to the side slightly, he smiles lightly toward the taller man and nods his head a bit. "Yeah. I could eat something. Would you lead the way? And - I promise to try not to fall."

Oh, he’s absolutely on his way and can’t wait to try it.

𓏲 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐉𝐈 ๑ ˚.@swirlbrows.bsky.social · 2y ago

that’s too bad, sanji has currently tasked herself on making a raspberry-lemonade cheesecake. her day is exceptionally free, so he’s free to stop by any time.

He just finished up, free anytime she would like to meet up, and happy to try anything she’s made for him.

𓏲 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐉𝐈 ๑ ˚.@swirlbrows.bsky.social · 2y ago

of course, at the bakery, that makes sense... if he has time later, she can always try to make something he hasn’t really tried yet... decisions, decisions.

He’s been spending his time helping his little sister Pudding set up for events but later he should be free… Though he never gets tired of desserts.

𓏲 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐉𝐈 ๑ ˚.@swirlbrows.bsky.social · 2y ago
