Chapter Text
Jango took a deep breath and adjusted his glasses a little nervous. Usually he had more confidence in his skills as a hypnotist after years being a pirate and they also came handy once he became a marine, although he long time stopped lusting for his superior Hina, but despite that he ended loving his work as a marine more than a pirate. But now he had to organize a hypnosis show in front of many of the big names of the marines and world goverment for an annual party at Marineford.
It was his friend Fullbody who proposed to Hina that Jango could offer a show for the party as he said that he was the best stage hypnotist of the world, and Hina propossed it to the higher officials, which they ended agreeing to the proposal.
Fuck his friend, thought angrily the 29 year old man. But now he couldn't back away and had to carry on. It was a good thing that many forgot or ignored his past as a pirate but if he failed to impress those snobbish elders, he was probably going to die. Last time he was sentenced he was saved by a stroke of luck. Maybe this time he wouldn't be that lucky. He needed to give the best show so his neck would stay intact...
He watched everything from behind the courtains of the stage. Jango recognized many of the men and women that were already mingling and talking in the large and fancy room. He gulped a little and took a deep breath. The man with heart shaped eyes jumped in surprise as he felt a hand behind his back.
-Fuck! Fullbody, don't do that again. You almost caused me a heart attack!-hissed angrily the former pirate to his friend.
-Please, you have faced worse-said his friend with a roll of his eyes. -Don't look at me like that, if I didn't believe in your skills I would have never propose you for the show, so relax-said the other marine while patting the back of the hypnotist.
Fullbody was right, maybe he could make it in one piece. If luck was on his side, maybe the names chosen would be of people weak willed and then he could give some easy and fun entertainment. -If I got killed because of this, you are going to join me to hell, I assure you that-said with a sigh.
His friend simply laughed and lifted his thumbs to give him luck. Jango wanted so bad to give him the middle finger, but he contained himself.
Time passed and soon it was time for the show. All the guests paid attention to the stage as the announcer presented Jango. With a final breath and his pendulum at hand, Jango finally jumped on stage. -Good night, ladies and gentlemen!-said as he appeared with an exagerated dance move. -I hope you are ready for a show that will leave you amazed!!!!-yelled the man with his sunglasses as he finished with another dance position as he did the moonwalk.
He got some claps and lots of whispers as a reply. He cleared his throat. -Now, I'll pick some names from the box to select all those men and women ready for a special travel of the mind-said as he approached the box on the stage. As there were eight chairs he would have to pick only eight names from the box. Going into stage was optional, as if someone said no, Jango would easily pick another name.
His heartbeats relaxed as he started to call people. Many of them were marines of the same rank or slightly superior, so they wouldn't cause too much trouble. Then when he picked the fifth name he shuddered. -Ah...vice admiral Smoker-said with some shock. Holy shit, he met him back in Alabasta and the guy was scary. Jango was so screwed up, as he really doubt that his hypnosis skills would work on him. He was surprised to see him at the party as his relationship with the goverment wasn't that good.
To the surprise of the audience the white haired man walked to stage, smoking his two cigars and sat on one of the empty chairs. But before that, he exchanged a glare with Jango who gulped a little nervous. "Holy shit, I'm so dead" thought scared before picking with a trembling hand the next name of the box.
The next two names were like the first ones of ordinary people, which relaxed Jango a little more. Hopefully the only one to cause some troubles would be Smoker. When he picked the final name of the box his eyes open wide and almost came out of the orbits breaking his sunglasses when he saw the final name. -Fl-fle-fleet admiral Sakazuki...-said Jango after recovering the voice.
The entire room went silent and many eyes turned towards the lava man who stood there in silenece. "Who the fuck thought in including his name? If I survive I’ll kill that son of a bitch!!!!" thought angrily the former pirate. One thing was Smoker...but another different was the fleet admiral. The man was scarier than the white hunter, he saw him in Marineford two years ago.
"Please don't come, please don't come"prayed mentally Jango.
Much to the surprise of everybody Sakazuki started to walk towards the stage, taking a puff from his cigar and soon he sat on the final chair and crossing his arms.
"He did it!!! He fucking did it!!!" thought Jango as his heart skipped faster and faster.
A tense silence filled the entire room and all the eyes were on the hypnotist. "Fuck, I must continue with the show" thought terrified Jango doing his best to contain the tears.
If there was a God, he clearly hated Jango right now.
