1.2 Prologue
When they walked together, they looked like a sibling, Enel was 256cm/8.4ft tall, and Kimimaro was 250cm/8.2ft tall.
"So? How's the recruit?" Kimimaro asked slowly as they walked.
Enel shook his head and sighed, "Nothing special..."
"Realy? I heard there was a peculiar guy?"
"Ah? Hmm, Oh yeah! There's indeed, he smoke."
Kimimaro raised his eyebrow and asked, "Smoke?"
"Yeah, he smokes cigars whenever available, sometimes even during training." Enel chuckled in response.
"How old is he?"
Enel let go of Kimimaro's shoulder as he pinched his smooth chin, "I'm not sure as the recruit this time is quite young, I think he is one of the youngest members."
"Have you reported it to the Head Instructor?"
Enel shook his head and spoke, "Naah, maybe it was because of his devil fruit."
"Devil fruit?"
"Yeah, he ate Moku-Moku no Mi (Smoke Fruit)."
Enel tilted his head as he folded his arms to remember, a moment later he grinned and laughed,
"Yahahaha... I remember, Guess what his name is?"
"What?" Kimimaro wasn't interested in playing a guessing game as his destination was already close by.
Enel knew this too so he told his friend with a grin, "His name is Smoker!"
Hearing the answer, Kimimaro's calm face turned weird as he looked toward Enel's face, seeing his friend's reaction Enel slapped his back and laughed,
"I know right? Yahahahahaha..."
"Hahahahaha..."
Both of them laughed thinking about the peculiarity of the recruit's name. After a short banter, both of them finally parted as Enel kept walking while waving his hand and Kimimaro stopped, after Enel left, he stood at the door with the 'Head Instructor' sign on the other side of a corridor and knocked it slowly.
"Sir, this is Kimimaro." Kimimaro spoke calmly.
shortly, a soft grunt could be heard from the other side of the door indicating him to enter.
*Clack...
"Excuse me"
Kimimaro entered the office of someone with higher rank than him.
What greeted Kimimaro when he entered the office was a clean and neat environment, there were several plants and flower around the office with someone seemingly took a regular care for it.
at the middle of the office there was a coffee tabble with sofa on both of it sides, some document were stacked neatly on top of it with marine's hat sat on its top.
As Kimimaro looked up towards the office table, there was a pencil case with stationery sat neatly inside of it, a peculiar red helmet with 'Z' symbol rested on the table's corner and a family photo of 6 persons sat right beside the helmet.
A man with a huge, bulky body and unique spiky purple hair could be seen writing something on the documents sitting behind the office table. at the front top of the table there was a nameplate for the man, with 'Chief Instructor Z' written on it.
"Sit." Said the man towards Kimimaro which the later heeded and walking towards the clean sofa.
Just right when Kimimaro sat on the sofa,
*Crack...
"Huh?" Feeling something from his bottom, Kimimaro reach towards it only to pull a small car toy which now had been broken by his butt.
All of a sudden Kimimaro felt a dangerous aura coming from the office table! Slowly he gulped and turned his head and putting his best, harmless smile on his face towards the table.
"Sir?" Asked Kimimaro.
"That's Arthurs toy, You have 10 minutes to buy a similiar one..." Said the purple haired man slowly while he took off his reading glass.
Kimimaro suddenly stood up and attempted to ran towards the door, and when he reached the office door handle, suddenly,
"BUAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Kimimaro paused when he heard the man loud laughter, he paused and turned his body around wondering about what happened,
"Hahahahhaha.... Relax son, Arthur have much more at house, pffft..."
Kimimaro's expression turned cold, then he walked back towards the sofa and sat there in instant.
