10 chaps for 1st, 5 for top 5, 3 for the rest

****

It had been a month since the crew arrived on Wano.

Law told everyone to integrate into Wano's populace and get as much information as they can.

As such, this is why we have the current situation.

Yami was dressed in a pink Kimono with his hair tied up in an intricate bun on his head, his scarf was wrapped around his waist and he was dancing with fans in a room, working as a geisha. Yachiru was his little assistant girl.

Law and the rest didn't know what to say.

He was unexpectedly good?

Like really good.

Let's call it what it is, Yami was working in a brothel, just like the last time in the Red Light district. It was an easy job, so he was whatever about it. As long as nobody touches him with their disgusting hands, there wouldn't be a problem.

So far, nobody has.

Then again, Yami was the definition of an iceburg beauty. He had a constant cold face to pretty much everyone, except Yachiru, who was posing as a little girl that helped Yami. Too bad no one could play the Shamisen...

Well, except for him.

But how was he supposed to do everything at once?

Crimson was in his hair as an ornament, having been shrunk down by Yachiru.

She figured out that she could do a lot more with her fruit. She even changed the 'size' of Yami's hair, making it longer than it normally was. He made a pretty beautiful girl!

And because of his coldness and beauty, he was pretty popular! The brothel he was working at, propped him up as the next Oiran and started charging people more money to see him. Even if they paid to talk and drink with Yami, he would snort in disgust, staying cold.

Which seemed to have the opposite effect.

Normally, Geisha were very affectionate and cheerful, but Yami was the complete opposite and thus, very fresh and new. The people really took a liking to him and even gave him a nickname...

Ice Cold Oiran

Though, he wasn't an Oiran.

They seemed to have just skipped over this fact.

People are very strange indeed.

One time.

There was only one time that Yami played the Shamisen.

He refused to play it every again after he got a literal bag full of marriage proposals, which he threw outside and burned in front of the people. He was a very peculiar Oiran and the people were awed by his display of coldness, then they started coming to see him more and more.

The old lady, who was Yami's 'teacher' and 'owner', was against burning the letters, but went completely hands off after it brought her little brothel more attention than ever before.

Yami was still indifferent and cold.

Money sure makes the world turn.

Sanji, Brooke, Nami, Chopper, and Katakuri finally got to the Flower Capital after who knows how long and blended in along with the rest. Katakuri was a bit uncomfortable, never having done something like this before, but he joined a Yakuza gang and quickly jumped to the right hand man spot.

The only one missing was Luffy, who knows where he was. Zoro also went missing after cutting down the magistrate for killing people and blaming it on Zoro for his sword Shusui.

Yami and Yachiru went for a walk, taking a day off.

He snorted at the owner and left, much to her dismay. The people who came for him were told that Yami had 'gone for a walk' and took the day off. Contrary to the owner's thoughts, the people were only happier and promised to come tomorrow. The poor old lady was stunned, some people even started reserving spots the day before.

She literally could not comprehend why but the money rolled in and when the money rolls in, everyone's happy.

Yami and Yachiru went to Sanji's Soba stand, meeting up with the rest. Sanji got one look at Yami and his eyes bulged out of their sockets. Robin, Usopp, and Franky just ate their Soba, not saying anything. They had seen this before and had the same reaction.

There was no way around it, it was strange and weird, but it was undeniable. You couldn't tell whether it was Yami or not, if not for the sword in his hair and the scarf around his waist, they wouldn't believe it was Yami, even if you beat them to death.

Sanji said "Hello? Would you like some Soba? It's on the house for you!" Yami paused and said lightly "You shitty cook, do you believe that if you hit on me again, I'll beat you to death?" Yachiru walked up saying "I'll have a bowl, Sanji!" Robin said softly "Sangoro." Yachiru corrected "Sangoro-san."

Sanji looked at Yami in horror and said "Ah! What the fuck!" he turned to the side and walked away, vomiting in an alley. Yami snorted and sat at the table, Robin smiled "You're looking very beautiful today, O-Yami-chan." Yami tapped on the table and held his cheek with his palm, relying "Why couldn't I be a ronin? I don't understand..."

Usopp said "Well, Zoro called dibs so..." Yami said badly "Hmph! We could have had 2! Why did we need 2 Geisha!?" they all looked away, they heard the story from Zoro a while ago and didn't believe it, they were now firm believers that Yami has done this before.

Sanji came back and said "You disgust me." Yami rolled his eyes and said "I'm not happy either. I get marriage proposals non-stop. It's fucking annoying." a man walked over and said "Ummm, O-Yami-chan?" Yami looked at the man in disgust and he said "C-Could I eat with you?"

Yami said "Scram. I would rather die." the man bowed and scrammed, strangely happy. Yami sneered at the group looking at him and they all got excited, he turned back to the table and said "See? These people are fucking weird, man." Robin looked on with an open mouth, Franky said "I heard you did this, but I didn't believe it..."

Yami blew the hair from his face and Yachiru ran over with a bowl of Soba, sitting on Yami's lap and eating happily. Yami smiled and combed her hair, the group watching from a far all sucked in a cold breath of air at the smile and ran off, saying "I need to make a reservation! If she smiles at me like that I can die happy!"

Yami felt his eyes twitch and Robin covered her mouth "Ara Ara... That's quite the devotion..." Sanji served Yami a bowl of Soba and said "Here you go, freak." Yami grinded his teeth and a bit of his Conqueror's leaked out as he said dangerously "Say that again. Make my day, curly brow. I heard your sister had pink hair."

Sanji narrowed his eyes to slits and Yachiru twisted harshly on his lap, Yami coughed and Yachiru felt something very hard and hot, poke her right in between her legs. Sanji snorted and walked back to the stand.

Yami ate his Soba and clamed down, while the rest looked away and ate quickly.
