❝ Uh... I heard Combo talking about how we found some stray cat in the dumpster and we were gonna adopt it.... ❞

He narrows his eyes until he's squinting hard at the feline-man standing before him. He really didn't fit the bill of the animal Combo had been describing. He had made it sound like some filthy flea bag; old, round, lazy, scruffy, smelly. The man before him was finely dressed, elegant — suave, even. He certainly didn't bear any resemblance to the idea Bubblegum had formed in his head thanks to their head chef's description.

Still. Combo had said they had found a stray cat, and suddenly this person shows up... Maybe this was that very cat after all? It would be a very strange coincidence if that wasn't the case.

✠ Sadly, the elderly “gentleman” who Faust was feeding the past days wasn’t there; probably moved to a new block since the mice’s population decreased. The magician was about to leave when a stranger’s voice was heard. It’s not the first or last time people mistake him for his fellow felines, he’s used to that treatment due his past, it’s not surprising. Instead of addressing the mistake, the mink simply looves to go along with it to test the limits of human’s stupidity. He shortens their distance. “Cough cough.” He says the words instead of the action, raising a paw. “Meeow meeow.” Mischievously blinking in slow pace, speaking in a humanely tone that doesn't sounds a bit like a cat's meowing. “Meeow meeow.”

✠ Yellow iris stared back, unchanging; analyzing for seconds that seems like hours. With a blink, his tail swagged to both sides as his chin leaned in as the nails scratched his fur. Eyes closed in delight and soundly purring confirmed his enjoyment. “.... Hmm. Ikkakunya. I understand that better than anyone.” Unlike the brainwashed cult members that easily saw Hawkins as the light of a new god. His devotion came from years spent together and all the good things he admired in his captain, and by extent; he knew exactly the dirty parts that man had. Part he didn’t care due to his own build narcissism and egoism. Rolling on his back, Faust sat down. Ears lowering slightly. “ I swore to protect everything that my captain judged precious, and this includes from himself. We pirates are the worst! and my captain is one of the worst.”

“I’m so proud of him!!!!" "That's why; let’s keep that between us. Ikkakunya. Sadly knowing my Captain he may go after you even in the afterlife. Take your time ~ we got pleeeeeenty of it.”

✠ Ears immediately turned straight and firm as pupils turned into fine lines. Mischievously defying eyes locked with the emperor as the finger approached. Not many had courage to try it—even his captain had his fingers bitten depending on his mood. It wasn't about liking or finding offense in any way. It was just more amusing to bite fingers for his own entertainment. War crimes and slavery against Wano's residents be damned, Kaido knew how to give a goooood scratch. That leathery skin hit just in the right spot as the mink’s ears lowered—closing eyes as his chin slowly raised up. “..puurmession plus a bonuus!?! Uhaaaa. If I knew that would be rewards I would made his head explode or something more incredible. ” Head canted to scratch also over the cheek. Would be better to warn Hawkins right away but Faust took a couple of seconds to enjoy that scratch a bit more before jumping from the man's leg.  "Me and my captain are extremely grateful! May I take my leave~" He detached the black cape from his shoulders, waved it in the air and covered himself with it. Instead of disappearing or anything too flashy, like a explosion or magic trick of the sorts. The bump covered with cloth simply scuttered to the exit and left. Shazaaam.

Unlike what most would like to assume of him, Kaido could be a very patient man. Large palm tilting so he could run a finger beneath the minks' chin wondering if he'd respond similarly to a cat getting its chin scratched. it was mostly done out of curiosity rather than bigotry as he felt none towards minks and fishmen as a whole.

"If he's worth that much then he should be fine. Do you want anyone to think him weak?" Weakness was unheard of to the beast pirates, their hierarchy was determined by strength and willingness to endure. The idea of handing out breaks made the emperor scoff but he'd play into Faust's little game regardless.

"...Fine, have it your way." He doubted the mink would be able to guess but surprises could always happen and as he watched one of his men go down and cough up paper he should've figured some black magic bullshit was in the air. Can't say he wasn't impressed with the way a brow rose when it was revealed the paper held his exact number '35'.

"It seems I was wrong to underestimate your... Talents." Did all of Hawkins crew have these uncanny magic tricks? He supposes he'll never find out. It was tempting to recede on the bet he'd made and make Hawkins work harder anyways but something about Faust despite however mischievous he may be, intrigued him.

"I suppose I can permit Hawkins a break."

✠ “Can't blame a guy for trying.” Ears twitched slightly, leaving his comfortable pose as he crawled and sat over the emperor's leg. Paws pulled Kaido's hand by the wrist so it laid over his own lap. Palm facing up. “That would be your loss, Master Kaido. My captain is worth at least 50 people! Way more!” With a wriggle of fingers, Faust laid the beans of his paw over the man’s hand. Closing his eyes after. “Sounds good fuur me. Now, please pick a number and repeat it out loud only in your mind.”

The mink would stay put, tail surrounding his own body for a whole minute. Until his eyes shoot open as he turns around. A single tap on his own ears—searching for something but nothing can be found. He reaches for Kaido’s ears as well, but when he’s back. Nothing. Faust's ears lower, both hands pondering on the side of his own head, shrugging. Then, one of the lesser soldiers that kept at the entrance started to cough uncontrollably. Failing on his knees—choking as others try to rescue them. After he passes out, another one raises the cause of it. A single white paper with a number written in bold letters—exactly the one Kaido though. Faust just raises his arms upwards with a devilish wink. “Taaaa—daaaaaaah!”

Unprompted - always accepting! @meowgiciann asked: Something jumps on the Dragon Emperor's hair, claws that indiscriminately stab over the rougher skin as it climbs its way up. Stopping by his head as an upside-down face with unblinking yellow eyes stare directly at him. "Master Kaido, you're going to kill my Captain that way." He rolls forward, tumbling and peacefully falling over Kaido's lap while facing up. The feline quickly getting distracted as his both paws reach to tap Kaido's long mustache that was hanging in the air. "Since Captain Hawkins became a headliner, all he does is work work work. Moou, that taking my puurrecious petting time away. He's always soo tired." He bites the strand of facial hair, pulling it but letting go as soon as an idea pops into his mind. " What if~ What if! I guessed a number from your mind? Would a marvelous magical trick bring my captain more hours to relax? Sounds good, sounds fair." Faust just presses it, ignoring if he would accept or not. Hands going behind his own head as his tail mischievously swung side to side. "Pick a number from 0 to 1."

Did mink always behave like the animals they took part of their appearances from? That was what Kaido was thinking as he watched said black cat mink tumble up from his head down to his legs where he'd swat and play with his moustache.

He didn't feel a thing even if it were tugged but growing intolerant of this playfulness, he'd swipe both hanging lengths of hair off to the side and out of reach.

"Now you are making this ridiculous, I cannot agree to these terms." His voice boomed naturally loudly though he didn't sound too annoyed with his subordinates attempt at freeing a former captain of excess labor.

"Do you want me to send Hawkins to the factories instead? Otherwise, give me a broader selection to choose from." Lest the mink want to risk losing one more of his nine lives (if mink even abided to that tall tale) he'd listen to the opportunity Kaido was humoring him with.

"How about 1-50, or is that too high for you to guess?"
