Rumors were never ugly enough to be false.

Like how Crocodile ruled over Alabasta and the Government closed their eyes based on the sole fact that he was a Warlord of the Sea. Marinefod started as a rumor too...Now, the Levely...you feared it was the final straw for your superior.

Your concern was confirmed by the hallway chats. "I heard Admiral Fujitora hasn't left his office since he came back."

"Do you think it's because-"

"It has to be."

"What if it's-"

"Yeah, you might not be wrong."

"Could make sense."

Your heels resonated against the tile floor, bothered by the soldier's habits : chatting, insisting on their breaks right...the same guys that want to climb the ranks. If they wanted a job with protected breaks, they chose the incorrect profession. As a marine, duty came first, protection came first. Breaks? Please! However, you were not the type to lecture more than necessary.

"Don't talk unless you can improve the silence, soldiers."

They jolted but soon saluted you. "Yes, Vice-Admiral."

Soon enough you stood in front of a mahogany door: Issho's office. He was never Fujitora to you.

You remembered his large hands ruffling with your hair as you laughed at your mistakes. He took you under his wing at 15. "If you get wounded, never fear it. Face it head-on." Since his words, you'd laugh at every scratch you got, it gave you strength, adrenaline and more than anything : made your enemy erratic.

On the first day you joined the ranks you called him Fujitora. You remember the daggers his eyes sent you. "Now, I didn't trained and looked after you for you to call me that. My name's Issho."

"Issho."

You knocked at the door at the rhythm of a song and hummed it. You always knocked the same way so if he ever needed to take a break from Haki, he would forever recognize you by the sound you'd make. "Come in, (y/n)," he called. You obeyed.

The wooden office exudes warmth, with dark paneled walls and a large oak desk cluttered with papers and a brass lamp. He sits behind the desk in a leather chair, his hunched frame illuminated by the lamp's golden glow. His wrinkled face is tense, hands clasped tightly as he stares in front of him. (not like he can stare at much.)

"Are you alright?"

He did not say a word, he hummed. You sat on a chair close to him. "What's on your mind?"

"I don't want to lie, especially not to you."

You frowned, concerned. Your teacher was never the type to be so direct with no reason. What he had to tell you was important. He continued, "The world government sees itself as God."

So this is what's it all about..."I understand, they.."

He hooked his hand, "let me finish." A moment of silence, he gathered his thoughts. "You're younger than me. Strong too." He hummed. "You'll most likely take my place when I retire...No...You must take my place."

"Issho?"

"Be better than me. The flaws became apparent to me too late in my career. Make things change, I know you can."

The corruption, the world government snobbism, world nobles free pass on anything...

"We are of the rare ones that believe not all those who bear the role of our opponent are malice itself," he added. "We must protect that."

"Monkey D. Luffy?" you asked.

He nodded. "He is the best example."

Yes, there was exceptions to everything. Would arresting a man who freed 2 kingdoms really be justice? You shook your head. It really wouldn't make sense. He did a better job than the World government (he for real did though).

"I see..." Your chest rises, your hands tighten into fists, and when you exhale, your face shifts—hesitation giving way to quiet determination. "It will be an honour to surpass you when the time comes."

He laughed happily, slowly clapping his hands. "That's good to hear."

"You're not leaving any time soon now, are you?" You smiled skittishly.

"Worried for this old man?"

"Barely," you joked.
