~ It's pirate time! ~

He's the most in-demand man in the Red Force; without him, emperor Shanks wouldn't be the man he is, and the crew never stops reminding him of it. "Hey Becks, the cannon's busted", or "Beck, we need more flour", or "Beck, we're out of anesthesia and the cap'n fainted", or the occasional "Beeecks, we're being bombarded, looks like a whole Marine fleet out there". But none of it moves him. Not when you're talking to him. His eyes stay on yours, and his lips never tighten around his cigarette in a pull of impatience.

"Alright darlin', don't you worry. As soon as we make port we'll find you another dress in your size, aye?" he says once you're done.

"Thank you, Becks."

"Anytime, love," he rasps, winking at you in that way that always makes you giggle

"Beeeeecks!!!" Someone wails desperately behind him.

He smiles at you, thick fingers tapping you lightly under the chin to ask for your forgiveness. "Give me a sec, alright love? These lot won't leave me alone."

"Of course, Becks."

His smile holds just long enough before he turns to find Yasopp looking at him with apologetic eyes.
