#God that boy is so fucking terrified

[feilien]

 “Plenty of chances, but no real reason. Unless you’re infringing on Black Dragon territory, disrespect him, or publicly declare war with the clan, he’s not going to waste his time or energy. There’s a reason the clan has been so successful and undefeated for so long. He keeps his strength stacked where it matters, and doesn’t bother with unnecessary gangwars like so many others do just to prove a point. It makes our—” Long Zhi paused, then sighed, “their territory so impenetrable.”

 Why exactly he felt the need to become defensive, he didn’t know. Old habits, perhaps. The clan had been his entire life, and although he knew he was no longer a part of it, it was difficult to get rid of that mindset. But he knew he had to, sooner or later.

 Most likely sooner than not. Because there it was, the offer. A generous one at that, despite the polite warning. And it was too good to be true, really. Long Zhi was naive at times, but not naive enough to believe that they were talking about simple gang related work. There was a hook, and it had to be a big one.

 Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait too long to learn what it was. This time, he tensed up visibly and shifted in his seat. How the fuck did he know? Isen, a man he’d never even met before knew something no one else knew, not even Xiao Dan. Of course, he could’ve simply been referring to Long Zhi’s skill of being able to kill without a trace, but there was something about the way he said it that made it very clear to Long Zhi that that was not what he was talking about. He knew.

 And suddenly, he felt terrified.

 If a complete stranger had been able to learn about his abilities, who else knew? What did that mean for him? Would they be coming for him? With things worse than a very generous offer? Had word gotten out to Xiao Dan? Was that why the price was so high? He thought it was purely because of the betrayal, but—

 Swallowing hard, Long Zhi tried to pull himself back together, tried to appear confident and casual. None of which he was. “What are your terms?”

It had been difficult, impressively so. Hardly anything escaped Isen in this city. And yet, Long Zhi had been elusive, smart, evading capture while the full might of the Dragons hunted him down. Clearly he was someone Isen wanted under his command, even without his expertise.

Still, the answer Long Zhi gave was cowardly. Isen tsked. "I'll admit your former clan is strong. However, don't you think there's a reason Xiao Dan hasn't started a war with me? He's had plenty of chances, and I would certainly humor him."

Now he leaned back. That ring around Long Zhi’s iris had caught Isen's attention right away, and it aligned with the intelligence he'd gathered. It was the only thing keeping Isen from throwing Liu Long Zhi to the wolves and reaping the reward from the old man himself.

"But I'll get to the point. You have a very valuable skillset that I could use. Believe me when I say I've considered the benefits and consequences of this arrangement. I want you to work for me, in exchange for protection from the Black Dragons and anyone else who may cross you. In addition, I am willing to offer a generous wage, and provide you with an apartment within the city limits for the duration of your employment with me."

As he finished, he tilted his head, taking a moment to let the words sink in. "In the interest of transparency, I'm also aware of the full spectrum of your capabilities. That makes you uniquely qualified for this position." Isen gestured vaguely. "But I will not beg. If you refuse, I'll let you walk out without retaliation. Xiao Dan will not hear of your location from me."

[pettyprocrastination]

thinking about a super hero who was once praised by all and treated like an absolute rock star: constant groupies, interviews, sponserships, endless fans every where that is now a washed-up “has been” despite the fact he can still punch through reinforced steel and rip aliens apart with his bare hands. He has a regular human assistant who puts him in his place and is absolutely detrimental to his mental health (he is so fucked up in the head <3)

ENIES LOBBY TIME!!!

Sanji's face here.... he Knows he is going to fuck him up

THAT IS SANJI??? 😨

Holding them in my hands again....

Sanji struck a nerve there akdjaoajkq

Increible trio btw.... look at the evidence

............ me next please 🙏🏻

That is love right there I can see it

What if we all killed ourselves (except usopp is telling her the opposite ajahkdhsakjd)

I need sanji to go insane like this more often.... after the timeskip it doesn't happen as much and I love to see him suffering

This is so funny.... there is no denying to her face card

"It's not like she actually wants to die" well yes she does, but no because you know she doesn't really. It is in a quantum state right now

Luffy is such a menace akdhaksjkaak

TELL EM!!!! THAT'S MY GIRL!!!!

Look at franky worrying about robin.... do not fret luffy is coming and he will NOT lose!!!!!

This is zoro remarking how usopps fear of being left behind makes no sense.... this is so good.....

This is so endearing but it also breaks my heart....

Who is that sultry binch... (I don't recall this attack AT ALL and i'm sure we never see it again)

They botched his bbl.... 😔😔😔

Luffy's face here... he was convinced she wanted to go with them but was compelled to do otherwise but no.... he thought wrong and he can't fight to her.... I've just been staring at this page for minutes like damn.

Nevermind.... this is something your mother would say "you want to die??? Just wash the dishes and you can do whatever you want later"

"If you wanna die, or whatever...." this is so good like he knows what he is doing.... he Knows.... look at her face. After knowing how luffy and ace were as kids this just makes more sense (oda didn't think about this i'm sure but damn does it fit) also the slight manipulation.... look at all of us we're already here and look how we all miss you already... you know that post about luffy being selfish but his selfishness is jusg kindness to others... yesh

Thinking about robin's cinderella lifestyle.... why did her mother leave her with that aunt and why didn't some archeologist take her in?? Because she doesn't complain about anything just like she doesn't respond when that mother accused her of hitting her child without reason... that's so fucked

Alright this is funny (and also true)... I'm sorry fellow women....

*Justin Bieber voice* I like your laugh... dereishi shishishi

SHE'S GONNA ASK HER MOM TO TAKE HER TO THE SEA WITH HER??? LIKE SHE DOES AFTER WITH LUFFY??? MY GOD!!! I just bursted into tears like I got punched in the nose I can't keep going ajdhakajk

I lied i can keep going... but head in my hands over this....

Find out how my emotional stability survives this arc in ennies lobby part 2. coming soon

I've been over halloween in general thanks to 'valloween' and 'summerween' and y'all being incapable of moving on from literally anything...but we're coming upon the time where I have to see tiktoks of white girls going to spirit halloween to buy their little boring twink boyfriends ghostface masks to proudly announce to everyone how kinky they are and I've had it.

lust vs love, it’s a thin line

but he treads it all the same

[fragglerockopinions]

The worst thing about suffering is that it still hurts when the danger is over but no one cares about it anymore because it shouldn't hurt. No one will ever say "I'm sorry that happened to you" especially when they barely say "I'm sorry that's happening."
