One Piece Lemons

Misogynistic Marine (Tashigi)

After the incident at Punk Hazard, Tashigi had received a call from the marines that she would be given the chance to be promoted from a Captain to a Rear-Admiral; that was two ranks! Tashigi was eager and happily accepted the opportunity but quickly took a professional tone half-way into her sentence as she thought that it would be best to make a good impression, and gushing over the opportunity would not look good on her.

Tashigi blushed as she held the Den Den Mushi in her hand. 'This is it! If I'm somehow able to do this trial, then I will be able to prove to Vice Admiral Smoker that I'm helpful.' Then again, Smoker did not doubt Tashigi's skills and trusted her, but her multiple defeats at Punk Hazard made her realize that she needed to grow stronger. The ordeal of this trial, for Tashigi, was going to be the start of a more intense journey for Tashigi to complete her dream of taking all the meito blades from the evil pirates that used them.

"Captain Tashigi?" the voice called out from the Den Den Mushi.

The swordswoman blushed in embarrassment at the fact that her excitement caused her to lose focus of the fact that she was in a conversation call right now, and she coughed out sheepishly. "A-apologies," she said while inwardly she thought, 'I can't believe I'm already making bad impressions.' Tashigi brushed her head and breathed out. "Y-yes! I'm honoured to take on this opportunity! For the sake of the Marines and justice, I will uphold this trial to the best of my abilities."

Laughter came from the Den Den Mushi, which caused Tashigi to pout both out of a feeling that she was being patronised as well as a small twinge of fear. "That's exactly what we like to hear, Captain Tashigi," it praised her, causing her to smile happily. "In any case, the chance to become Rear Admiral will come to you in a few days; we recommend you train extensively at that time."

Tashigi nodded and the Den Den Mushi closed its eyes. She placed it down and squealed in excitement at the prospect, causing Smoker, who was in the other room, to shout out at her: "Tashigi! I'm trying to relax here! Stop making too much noise!" the Vice Admiral complained.

"S-sorry!" she shouted back, which caused a vein to pop in the logia user's head but Tashigi wouldn't see it and Smoker wouldn't push it any longer; with her absent-mindness, it would drag on forever if he didn't have the patience.

Several days later, Tashigi received another call stating that her promotion trial would be happening on a certain marine base, which she eagerly arrived to on time. She looked around in confusion, thinking for a moment that she had been pranked. "Where is this trial? Am I really going to have the chance to become a Rear Admiral?"

"Seriously! This has got to be a joke, right?!" a new voice that Tashigi had never heard spoke as she heard footsteps approaching.

Stepping into a clearer field of light, Tashigi got a lucid look at the person in front of her. He was a broad-shouldered, tan-skinned teenager with frizzy black hair. He wore a sleeveless dark shirt with a small v-cut and dark-red arm bands with the kanji for Justice on them. He wore baggy black hakama pants and sandals.

"Here I am, expecting a great teacher for me to improve my sword skills on. And yet. Right here, they send a woman to try and teach me about swordsmanship." He shook his head in disgust. "It's called swordsmanship for a reason!" he added, extra emphasis on the word man.

Tashigi gritted her teeth. "And who are you?! I was supposed to come here alone for a trial to get me to Rear Admiral but it seems I'm not the only one here! Are you a pirate?!" she questioned, pulling out Shigure.

The man laughed at Tashigi. "My name's Y/N. I'm the grandson of Kong the Commander in Chief of the World Government," he declared.

The swordswoman's eyes widened in shock at that revelation. While it was big news that the legendary marine Garp the Hero was the father and grandfather of Monkey D. Dragon and Monkey D. Luffy respectively, she couldn't believe that someone else was born into an even higher status of power than that.
