White Tiger

Much to Anna surprise, her son actually called Kimimaro behind her seemingly with familiarity!

"Hi, How're you Law?" Despite gritting his teeth due to Law calling him an uncle, Kimimaro still put forward a smile.

"Wabbuu...??" The baby on Law's arm looked at Kimimaro and tried to mimic her brother.

"It's uncle, Lami..." Law tried to correct his sister on his arms, prompting a giggle coming from her tiny mouth.

"Wait! Wait! How did you know my son? And Law! do you know him?"

This time Anna was feeling extremely confused, she look back and forth between Law and Kimimaro, it seems her son had already knew about the tall man's identity before her!

"Umm, i think i already told you about our journey few days ago right mom?" Law asked as he tilted his head. His sister cutely trying to follow Law example as she tilted her little head.

"Yeah? you told me, your ship was being chased by Germa, and Marine save your ship right?" Anna was still feeling confused, unable to tell between head and tail.

Seeing her mother clumsy attempts to remember, Law finally told her with helpless sigh, "Well, that uncle behind you is a Marine Vice Admiral from HQ. Uncle Kimimaro."

As if struck by lightning, Anna was rooted to the ground after her son revealed Kimimaro identity.

"Mom?!" Seeing her mother frozen look, Law couldn't help but called upon her.

Ignoring her son, Anna turned her head toward Kimimaro mechanically like an ungreased stone statue,

"V, v, vice admiral?" Anna's tone was filled with incredulity.

"Uhm, ma'am. I think we have more urgent matter for now." Kimimaro pointed her husband on his back with his chin.

Finally remembering about her husband, Anna immediately ran inside leaving Law and Kimimaro alone.

"Waaabuuu....!" Lami raised her hands and giggled happily.

Just when Law wondered on why his father was out cold, he smell something stinky coming from Kimimaro. Without saying anything he carried Lami inside to stay away from the stench.

"Ha.ha.ha.ha...." Laughed Kimimaro helplessly.

Thankfully, Anna return quickly while bringing several towels, soon she let Kimomaro to get inside toward the bathroom and told him to put her husband into a wooden barrel filled with water.

"Is it okay to just letting him in like this?" Asked Kimimaro when he saw a wooden barrel with cold water.

"Just do it si, sir...He will be fine." Anna seems still have reservation after she knew about Kimimaro's identity.

Next, Kimimaro just do what he was told to and put the sleeping Smith inside the barrel.

"UWAAAAAH! COOOLD!" Shouted Smith as he started to sobber.

*Smack!

Anna smack his head rather forcefully and made a small bump on her husband head.

"A, Anna?"

"Good, very good Trafalgar Smith, coming home this late? Drinking?"

Smith still feeling dizzy due to the alcohol, and Anna's didn't make it better for him.

He submerged his mouth into the water barrel, seeing his wife stood on akimbo with menacing smile.

"A, Anna? i could explain..."

*Wham!

Without waiting for Smith explanation, Anna went outside and slammed the door shut, leaving Kimimaro with Smith who has a pale face when he saw how angry his wife was.

"What have i done? Huh?!" Smith finally noticed he was no alone inside a bathroom, his gaze turned toward Kimimaro who calmly took off his outfit and took a sit beside water vat.

"Si, sir? what're doing here?!"

Kimimaro ignored Smith as he busying himself to wash off the vomit with soap from his white haori. The latter turned quiet as he recalled his shameful act earlier.

Thankfully, Smith was someone who could remember everything that transpired when he was drunk, even though it was his first time drinking.

Kimimaro washed his Haori and black Hakama thoroughly several times, then he scoop the remaining water from the vat and washed his sculpted body, hair and face.

Meanwhile, Smith shook his head trying to keep sobber, he still hasn't take off his clothes for now as he felt awkward taking a bath with someone he barely know.

Thankfully, Kimimaro quickly finished his bath, he put on his wet clothes as usual prompting Smith to call,

"Si, sir. If you need new clothes i can lend it to you..."

Hearing Smith's offer, Kimimaro shook his head. His body was much bigger than Smith, putting aside the matter of size difference, Kimimaro had better solutions.

Kimimaro smiled toward Smith who awkwardly glanced at him, "No need to worry doctor, my outfit will do just fine."

When Smith was about to speak once more, he saw Kimimaro seems doing something out of ordinary!

Mist suddenly engulfed the young Marine as he stood over there, under Smith shocked face. Kimimaro Haori and Hakama seems had dried in an instant!

While Smith was having a mental breakdown seeing how Kimimaro's outfit instantly dried, Kimimaro just checked on his clothes to find any residue and smell. Seeing none, Kimimaro nodded feeling pleased to himself. Next he excused first and went out the bathroom leaving Smith with tons of question lingering in his mind.

Right when he went outside, he saw Anna sitting on a stool with new towel and some old outfit.

Anna noticed Kimimaro and stood offering a towel which kindly rejected by the latter as there was no need to trouble her.

"You dried your clothes? Already?!" She couldn't believe her eyes when he saw Kimimaro's spotless Haori after he get out of the bathroom.

"Hahaha, yeah. Thank you, but there's no need to trouble yourself." replied Kimimaro.

What Kimimaro did to his clothes was only basic application of Haki mastery, using his Busoshoku(Color of Armament) he infused it to his clothes, expelling the residue and water from its fiber.

This was the reason on why Kimimaro clothes always look unblemished even in battle, by utilizing his mastery over Haki, he could repel any unwanted dirt sticking to his clothes.

However, if other knew that Kimimaro used his Haki to dried clothes, there was no doubt they will questioned their lives!

"Oh, okay. well, you can sit with Law over there first..." Anna pointed at Law who currently doing something on their living room Tea table.

Knowing his identity as Vice Admiral, Anna held no prejudice against Kimimaro anymore, she let him to wait in their house.

After saying her speech, Anna went into the bathroom to take care of her husband.

Kimimaro nodded as he approached the 3 years old boy who currently having a struggle on something.

The boy was twirling his pencil seemingly deep in thought while his baby sibling, Lami play with some plushie toys beside him
