〔 Coby x Smoker 〕

In the Marineford, the fleet-admiral and some higher-ups were called in for a new meeting. The main cause was to arrange the Navy groups, mainly G-5 because really, the Marine Base needed new officers replacing the old ones with.. preferably smarter ones. The commander of that base is 'The White Hunter' Vice-admiral Smoker . So on, the meeting was for to determine who would be transferred under vice-admirals' and rear-admirals' commands.

While that, a certain vice-admiral was talking carelessly with his two underlings. To name, Garp 'The Fist' and two kids he took under him to train to become great marines, in his saying. Maybe the Vice-admiral was doing this to ease down the feeling of missing his grandchildren who chose to become pirates instead of marines.. but.. no one would say that to his face and risk death. Garp, the hero of the Marines, was a man you wouldn't want to antagonize. And.. his underlings? Well, they were still learning life. Luckily, Garp had finished teaching them whatever he could. His trainees were a pink haired kid named Coby, and a blond kid named Helmeppo. Both were still anew, only been under Garp's care for more than half a year. Quite a long time actually, eh? It's still a surprise to the higher-ups that knew of Garp well that the two survived.. what Garp called a 'fist-of-love'. But hey.. that's a nice thing, isn't it? ...

"And so, you two from now on won't be Marines under me, but under another Vice-admiral. They are rearranging these nowadays. I don't know why it's important, but yeah, just go on." Garp said with utter boredom, looking far from being annoyed. Coby and Helmeppo shook in horror, seeing what an annoyed Garp meant.. Mostly a lot of fists of love(or hate, in this situation), screaming, pain, a lot of bruises and possibly some broken bones as well. So, as the nice and obeying trainees, they nodded with a salute. Though, Garp didn't seem to care.. Then, his den den mushi rung and with the utmost annoyed look Garp answered.

"Vice-admiral Garp." He said grudgingly, not meeting any of the eyes around him. Meaning, Coby and Helmeppo as it was only three of them currently in the room downstairs of the meeting room.

"Garp, come in the meeting room with your two trainees. We have arranged who they'll serve under." The voice of Fleet-admiral was heard, and Coby was sure fleet-admiral Sengoku was exhausted. Garp mumbled out an 'okay', and commanded the two to follow him into the meeting room.

Going inside, the pink haired boy couldn't help but tense. There were almost all of the upper ranked marines in the meeting room, with fleet-admiral Sengoku sitting at the very start. Akainu, as always looked ready to punch someone in the face and not stop until that someone (preferably a pirate) was long gone. Sengoku eyed them, and motioned Garp to sit. While he sat, the two boys didn't move and didn't dare look at anyone in the eye. Coby, slightly and under cover searching around, saw someone special (to him, at least) in the crowd of marines.

"Alright, so Garp. I believe you have no problems with.. Coby and Helmeppo, I believe that's their names, being transferred under someone else's command." Sengoku started, looking at Garp with curious eyes. Garp scoffed. Really, Coby was impressed with the courage the man had. Though, he was Monkey D Garp, after all. The man cared about literally nothing.

"Do whatever. I don't care. I did my work in training them and making them strong!" Garp said aloud. Sengoku nodded, changing his gaze to the two boys.

"Good. You two, from now on you will be under command of Vice-admiral Smoker. I am to hear no complaints about you two stowing away from work. I need no new Garps on my head. I take enough from one Garp, he's more than enough to annoy me." Sengoku said sternly, his gaze never staggering and staring into the very souls of Coby and Helmeppo. Coby was fighting the urge to shift uncomfortably under Sengoku's gaze, like how a guilty child would. He nodded, somewhat sluggish, his mind in a haze that now he knew he would work under Smoker's command.. Smoker, who he was secretly looking up to. Slowly, he shifted his gaze from Sengoku to Smoker, seeing he too was staring at them, switching between him and Helmeppo.
