Atmos didn't know if he should worry or not when both, Portags D Ace and Monkey D Luffy, appeared in front of him. Both could be big magnets for trouble, well the younger more than the older one.
„Ne Moocy guy, you are the one who has all the den-den mushi numbers, right?", Luffy asked and tilted his head.
The commander of 13th division looked at the older one of the brothers who just grinned apologetically.
„I have them. Which do you need?" „I need the one from the Sunny." Atmos lifted an eyebrow. „Shouldn't you know that number or at least Ace should know it."
„Should I?" Luffy poked his nose.
„Atmos, you are talking about my baby brother. You see how he can be with names. Do you then seriously expect him to know a den-den mushi number which is written down for him to look up? And why should I know? I don't call him that often", Ace mumbled.
A slight tiny hint of red adored the second division commander's cheeks. Atmos didn't react in any way. It would be the best to not say how many times Ace already asked for the number and even had many papers with the number in his room. Didn't the second division commander his little brother to know about that? A pity he couldn't ask without probably getting some burns.
„Fine, I'll get the number and meet you in the den-den mushi room", Atmos said with a sigh.
It would probably be the best to just go along with it. He had never heard a good thing happen if you went against these two brothers. Well, the same could be said sometimes about going along. But he cloudn't say that it wouldn't be interesting this time. Afterall, the brat's crew was involved.
A newspapers article, a call or a meeting was always good for a laughter or a shock. Even if he had the crew just once on Fishman Island. It was an interesting mix. That he had to say.
Atmos was stopped on his way to the den-den mushi room. Izo was talking with Curiel and their head nurse. The 10th division commander looked a bit troubled, well more confused. The man only nodded and sighed when Izo and the head nurse went away.
The 13th division commander shrugged his shoulders and went his way. Curiel probably missed a check-up or something. Nothing that would be so important to leave Ace and Luffy alone in a room with den-den mushis for a longer time.
Like he expected, both brothers were already in the den-den mushi room. Both were slightly jumpy and were excited about something.
„I can understand when the younger one is jumpy, but I somehow expected you to be calmer, Ace", Atmos said while he woke up the snake and started to dial the number of the Straw Hats.
Ace glared at him but didn't have the chance to answer. The face of the den-den mushi changed. It mimicked a scar over the left eye which was closed. The greeting was grumpy.
„Zoro", Luffy cheered.
So this was the swordsman. The one who cut down the Ishi-Ishi no Mi-User Pica, an executive of the Donquixote Pirates. The green-haired man was respected by some of their own swordsmen and some even expressed the desire to spar with him, if the time was enough.
„Oi, Luffy, how are you? Are they treating you good or do we have to deal with them?" Zoro's voice sounded a bit less grumpy. It seemed happy to hear his captain again. Also, the swordsman must really be as crazy as his captain for suggesting a fight with them, if Luffy wasn't threatened right.
„Hey, why should my baby brother be treated badly on the Moby Dick?", Ace protested while Luffy just laughed.
There was a sound like a hit and the den-den mushi changed. It got more female and its eyes got brown.
