White Tiger

".wheeze*... Hahahaha, oh my Kimimaro, how can you always be so serious when its about your brother?" The Chief Instructor slowly adjusted his breath, wiping his small tears, and stood up. 

When he stood up, one could see his stature more clearly, other than his short purple hair. He appeared as a big and muscular man, being almost twice the height of an average-height human at 348 cm /11'5ft in height. He wore a pink shirt with a polka-dotted tie and beside him, there hanging a Marine jacket with an Admiral rank epaulet donned on its shoulder indicating the man's rank.

Before he went to the sofa, he took 2 teacups and a steaming kettle filled with tea from the desk at the corner. 

*Slam...

The man put the cups on the table and pouring in the hot tea from the kettle before sliding it closer towards Kimimaro who sit opposite of him. 

"Any news?" The man asked gently with smile on his face contrary from anyone expectation of him being stern, strict and battle hardened man

"Theres news sir Zephyr." Kimimaro nodded and looked straight at Zephyr opposite of him.

However, Zephyr shook his head and sighed, "Call me father, son." 

Kimimaro were quite awkward hearing Zephyr's request, however he still keep his calm and smiled, "This is still working hours sir." 

"Whatever! Now, tell me whats happened." Zephyr snorted clearly dissatisfied.

Kimimaro cleared his throat and begun to explain, 

"New recruit had been training since past month, Enel had good track on their progress. However, there were some who had quitting mid-training due to harsh program impossed on them. Some of higher-ups demands us politely to reduce their workload in order to keep the recruits here." 

",snort*, Bunch of weaklings! If they can't handle that level of training, they should just go back and farm at their home island! Who asked them to come here? And higher-up? Who?" 

Before Kimimaro could answer, Zephyr continued by his own answer, 

"I bet its that old hag Tsuru again! That hag should just keep her business to herself!" 

Kimimaro could only smiled wryly as indeed, the one who asked it was Vice Admiral Tsuru.

"Just ignore it! Don't bother with that old hag anymore!" 

Kimimaro continued "...cough*, secondly, because of Roger execution and the treasures reveals by him, the world is in turmoil, you were urgently requested to attend a meeting at Fleet Admiral office after lunch today." 

Kimimaro paused, as once again he felt a dangerous aura emenated from Zephyr. He looked at Zephyr calmly as the later's expression turned unhappy.

"God damn it! That Kong! Didn't he knew that after lunch is my happy time with my kids?" Zephyr gruntled loudly.

Kimimaro chuckled a little as he explained, 

"Fleet Admiral Kong had made it clear sir, it seems the situation isn't good."

Zephyr squinted his eyes towards the calmly sitting Kimimaro, he asked, "You're my son, why do you always take his side? Huh?!" 

Kimimaro cleared his throat slightly, "...Sir, theres news that one of these days The Golden Lion Shiki attempting to attack our Headquarter." 

Bam* 

Zephyr punched his fist against palm and sneered, "Shiki? That old brat have a thought you said? Buahahahhaa! Funny! You must be dreaming Shiki, if you realy come i'll pulverize you just like Garp and Sengoku did months ago!" 

Shiki had once went to Marine HQ two months before Roger execution, however Garp and Sengoku beat him and chased him off at that time. This time however, he attempts to return and wreak havoc at Marine HQ with his flying island armada.

Of course the Marine must be prepared for his invasion, for a moment, silence prevail until Zephyr asked in gentle manner once again, "How old are you this year son?" 

Kimimaro closed his eyes for a while and answered, "I'm 17 this year sir." 

"That brat Enel too is the same age as you right?" 

Kimimaro nodded, 

"So?" 

"Hm?" 

"Any girl you fancy?" Zephyr grinned with shifty eyes. 

Taken aback Kimimaro shook his head, "No one yet sir..."
