I Love Jango. Even when he's being vile.

Author's Notes: I am pretty much completely ignoring what cannon exists for how these two met. Sorry about that.




Whatever the metal-knuckled man had been drinking was now more melted ice than anything.

Not that it mattered. Booze might work for some, but Jango had far surer, far more efficient ways to draw courage from himself and pliability from others. Maybe it was unconventional in approach, but it always worked, and the result was all that mattered.

Nothing to have a crisis of conscience over.

Hell, pirates were supposed to do this sort of thing.

Jango leaned in, so close his nose almost touched the man's pink hair. "You will be spending tonight with me." The mirror-bright weapon was released to swing. "Ooooone..."

"Will I?" The man turned his eyes to Jango for the first time.

"Twooooo..."

The familiar eyes of a man newly, not yet happily, free.

Jango jerked the cord upward, caught the sharp metal ring in gloved fingers. "Care to let me buy you coffee first?"

rofl... That is hilarious. :D I can totally see Jango ambushing Fullbody like that ;) Poor Fullbody, never saw it coming.

If you think about it too much it becomes a matter of who couldn't and wouldn't Jango ambush. ^^;;; But I'd like to think he's turned over a new leaf!

I'm a sucker for bad-guys-trying-so-hard-to-be-good, does it show? Thank you for reading!!

Once you get past the fact that he had been planning on brainwashing Fullbody (Can't take the pirate out of him :D), it's actually quite sweet. Especially the second to last line, the way they don't really know what to do with their lives yet, and getting a new start together.

Thank you!! I had a hard time with how I'd almost made Jango's past habits too nasty, so I am soo glad it worked out to be more-or-less sweet to you!

Jango's power = absolute power. If I could hypnotize people (LIKE ZORO ZOMFG), I'd abuse it like mad.

I think that's why I find Jango so intriguing-- he's got one of the most OMG overpowered abilities in the One Piece universe, and yet the height of his villainy was still just ultimately being Kuro's bitch boy.

Indeed! I totally agree, I'd say the only one who has a better one would be that Don Flamingo guy. And the most Jango does with it is to use it to hypnotize a bunch of people on an island to dance.

Jango is super cool though.
