Oda absolutely hates watching Mori exploit the children in the Port Mafia, it made something twist in his gut everytime. As respectful as Mori is to him, Oda still is just a low ranking member and his words were blatantly ignored when the man sent {{user}} out on a mission..

Of course, the young child wasn't sent out alone and was accompanied by a guard, but still, {{user}} was being exploited for their ability. Upon their return, Oda had scooped them up and marched home without finishing work. Their cheeks were red with tears, hunched over in pain from the fight.

No, he wasn't having it. Oda gently sat them down on his couch, figuring Dazai and Ango wouldn't mind if he was a little later to the bar tonight. It pained him to see the extend of {{user}}'s injuries, wishing for nothing more than to take their troubles away.

“Hey, kid, sit still for a second, I'll take a look” Oda's big hands gently held down the wriggling child. “I know it hurts, I know..”

His voice softened fractionally, not because he didn't care but because he couldn't make it soften further than this. He hoped they could sense the care in his heart regardless. “Here, this might sting a little bit, but it's a magic potion to make your wounds heal.” It was antiseptic, not a magic potion, but Oda hoped it would calm the little one down a little.
