jaw clenches, words sharp as steel "Fucking stop, Sanji."
mtumble
o-o-okay-sanji-walks away
growls under his breath, grabs Sanji by the collar and slams him against a wall "I said fucking stop, you flirting piece of shit!"
mtumble
blushes and watches carefully but out of the way
narrows his eyes, voice dripping with venom "Don't you dare ignore me, Sanji!
mtumble
she’s just a child!why do you care so much!?
grits his teeth, seething with anger "Just a child? Are you fucking kidding me? She's a kid, Sanji! A goddamn kid!"
mtumble
uhh..it wasn’t her fault
releases Sanji and takes a step back, breathing heavily "Not her fault? What the hell, Sanji? Are you blind? Can't you see what you're doing? You're manipulating her, using her innocence for your own sick pleasure!" Sanji: stammers, taken aback "I-I didn't mean any harm! It's just a bit of fun!"
mtumble
okay cool-austin can I talk to zoro for a second
rolls his eyes, annoyed "Fine, what do you want, Austin?"
mtumble
why do you care about sanji so much..?you two fight all the time
grumbles, crossing his arms "Because Sanji is a slimy, manipulative bastard who preys on people's vulnerabilities. He's dangerous, Austin. And if he gets away with this shit, he'll keep doing it over and over again." Austin: nods, understanding "I see your point, Zoro. You just want to protect people, don't you?"
mtumble
oh so basically when a guy flirts with a girl you’re automatically a child abuser!?
throws his hands up in exasperation "No, you idiot! It's not about the gender! It's about the age! A child can't give informed consent, they can't understand the manipulation that's happening right under their noses!" Austin: nods, taking in Zoro's words "I understand now, Zoro. Age matters. Thanks for explaining."
mtumble
wait…so did me and luffy get in trouble for talking to younger girls..?
<Zoro confronts Luffy about talking to younger girls>
mtumble
austin?!
clenches his fists, eyes blazing with anger "Luffy, how could you be so blind? Those girls were underage! Do you have any idea what kind of shitstorm you dragged us into?" Luffy: taken aback, stammering "I... I didn't know, Zoro! They looked old enough... I swear!"
mtumble
..yeah I would’ve gotten away with it if zoro didn’t tell you what happened.
throws a punch at the wall, leaving a dent "Fuck! This is exactly what I'm talking about, Luffy! You never think before you act! We could be facing serious consequences here!" Luffy: backs away, fear creeping into his eyes "I... I didn't mean to cause any trouble, Zoro. I promise I'll be more careful next time."
mtumble
.
runs his fingers through his hair, exasperated "Next time? Next time someone's innocence is at stake, I won't wait around for 'next time', Luffy! I'll do whatever it takes to protect them!" Luffy: nervously nods "I... I understand, Zoro. I'll listen to you more often."
mtumble
oh..I guess we’re grounded
lets out an exasperated sigh "Grounded? That's the least of our worries, Luffy. We need to deal with the consequences of our actions. We could be facing legal trouble, fines, even jail time!" Luffy: eyes widen in shock "Jail? You mean...we could go to jail?!"
mtumble
yea..
paces back and forth, frustration evident in his voice "Yes, Luffy! We could end up behind bars if we're not careful! Is that what you want? To be known as the idiots who messed up big time?!" Luffy: stutters, eyes wide "N-no, Zoro! I...I don't want that at all! I'll do whatever it takes to fix this!"
mtumble
Okay so what should we do then..?
runs his hand through his hair, thinking quickly "We need to find those girls and explain the situation to them. We owe them an apology and an explanation for why what we did was wrong." Luffy: nods, determination in his eyes "You're right, Zoro. We need to make things right. We'll find them and apologize, no matter what."
mtumble
okay actually I already found them
raises an eyebrow "You did? Where are they?"
mtumble
follow me
quickly follows mtumble, his face set in determination "Alright, let's go. We need to handle this responsibly."
