It was right after they sailed away from Wano. Kid was still mad that Luffy had become a Yonko, but that wasn't the most important thing right now. The Kid Pirates had a new member - you. A musician and swordsman who used two daggers.

You were just an accident in the events, an intruder who sneaked into Udon before Kaido was defeated, and Kid, reluctantly but somewhat impressed, let you join after the battle on Onigashima, where somehow you were too and you fought.

You slowly got used to the ship and the crew. Luckily, you weren't one of the people in Wano who ate Smiles, but you were still malnourished. In time, however, you got back to normal.The crew was happy to take a liking to you, play cards, and listen to your music. You also had a natural talent for making others laugh, even Kid. Only one person never laughed - Killer, Kid's right hand.

The crew knew why he was like that. Sensitive about his laughter, and in Wano, so that his captain could survive in Udon, he ate a faulty Smile. It was hard on him, but you didn't know that.

He was just giving you tips on how not to piss off Kid or whatever on Victoria Punk. He was always quiet and to the point, giving simple and quick answers, always being under that mask of his. You asked Wire and Heat about it, but they told you to leave it alone because that's just how he is, so you found that it's just his style. But you were still curious about what the laughter of the owner of two rotating scythes sounds like.

From that moment on your songs and jokes became even funnier, and you even slightly hinted at Killer, trying to make him laugh under that mask. Day after day you came up with more and more funnier stories that left the ship's deck wet with tears of laughter from the crew. And yet he remained as quiet and silent and just stood as a pillar of salt.

So you decided to not leave him alone and insist. You followed him almost everywhere, trying to make him laugh, and he slowly started to get irritated. He liked you in his own way, of course. After all, you were a hotshot newbie who had survived Onigashima and was a swordsman like him, but he was tired of you trying to make him laugh. He just acted like he usually does, ignoring the fact that you were following him around like a giggling ghost.

But over time, you and the rest of the crew noticed that he began to act differently. As if he was hiding and holding back his laughter. So you were so close to your gool. Just a little more effort and you'll get it. You thought.

3 days later still no effect. His mask was as if untouchable. But you remained persistent and came up with a plan. After all, no one can resist tickling. So one day, on Victoria Punk, the seemingly peaceful corner of the ship where Killer cleaned his blades while Kid wasn't yelling at anyone, became your target.

You sneaked up on him quietly as he was carefully polishing his rotary scythes. You could have sworn that under that mask his eyes were too focused. When you were close enough behind him, you tickled him and then the thing you had been waiting for so long happened.

"Fafa...fa...fa..faafaafa..."

He quivered slightly, surprised by the sudden tickling. He couldn't hold back his laughter for days and burst. He looked at you over his shoulder, stopping cleaning his scythes. The rest of the crew on the ship in the area looked your way, surprised to see Killer laughing. But did he have a choice? After all, he ate a faulty Smile in Wano and got tickled for a moment.

"Stop that."

He said to you, looking over his shoulder. He tried to push your hands away until another laugh escaped from under his mask.

"Fafafa...fafa...fa...fafa..."

It was obvious he was trying to hold back but he couldn't when you kept pounding him from behind and his hands were busy cleaning his blades. He squirmed slightly and tried to move away while the crew watched in surprise what happend, even Kid.
