52 Ain...
Chapter 52
Title: Ain...
….
As Zephyr guides Itachi (clone) to the main building of the marine headquarters. The clone just asks the instructor. "So, how strong do you think the original is?"
Zephyr was unsure if he should answer as that would make Itachi arrogant if he says that he is strong or such things. But he remembers how Itachi trained for hours upon hours.
"Currently… you can easily be as strong as a Captain of Marine Headquarters." Says Zephyr. And he wasn't exaggerating, at twelve he was about as strong as a Captain. Of course, there are different categories of strength in ranks, but in a general overview, Itachi would be a captain.
The clone Itachi nods at that. "Then it seems like the original has a long way to go."
Zephyr smiles when he hears that. As he suspected, Itachi is ambitious. Someone like that is perfect for the marines.
….
At this time, in the marine headquarters main building. Garp was laying down on Sengoku's office, sleeping in one of the couches.
That is when Sengoku opens his office door with a loud bang. "Garp!!! The new recruit that you brought in is only twelve years old. He is supposed to go to the orphanage and train there. These are the rules, bringing a child like that in the training place that is for people over the age of fourteen is illegal."
As he yells all of this, he looks at Garp to hear his answer, but instead, Garp is just sleeping still and snores loudly.
"GARP!!!!" Yells out Sengoku loudly once again. His anger goes to new levels as he sees Garp just opens his eyes for a little bit, mumbles something unintelligible, and turns around on the couch he is laying down on.
"Sengoku, can't you see I am sleeping~... you stupid goat beard." Mumbles Garp.
….
Ain is currently preparing some tea for Zephyr as he will be returning soon from training the Marine corps.
She is sitting in a modest-looking place with a table, kitchen, and a tea ceremony set.
'Teacher Zephyr has been in a bad mood ever since the attack…' Contemplates Ain, she can't help but feel sorry for the old Zephyr. Even his health has been getting worse recently.
"GARP I SAID WAKE UP!!!" Ain hears that scream as the building shakes slightly.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp seem to be at it again." Thinks Ain aloud. She is already used to this, usually, every time Garp comes to the marine headquarters, he somehow annoys Sengoku to no end.
*knock* *knock*
Suddenly she heard a knock on the door and she heard the door open. She knows that it is Zephyr due to him always knocking even though technically this is his living place.
She looks at him and surprisingly sees two twins, one of them is holding the other on his back as he sleeps.
"Who are they?" Asks Ain with her curiosity visible in her voice.
Zephyr smiles at her question and says. "Well, he is Itachi and his clone."
"Huh?" Ain is confused about this. "What?"
The Itachi clone starts explaining to her what his devil fruit does.
"Woah! That is amazing Itachi. You must tell me some more about it. It's not only strong but also very convenient." Exclaims Ain in amazement. She also has a Devil Fruit, but it isn't that strong by itself. Nor is it that convenient, though she guesses that she will appreciate her fruit one she is older.
The clone just lays the original on the ground and talks with Ain. "Hm? Really? I always thought that my fruit was on the weak side. I mean compared to the Magma, Light, or such other Logia fruits of the admirals. Mine is only at best mediocre."
Ain just flickers (clone) Itachi's forehead and says. "Don't say that, your fruit is amazing."
Zephyr interferes in this too by saying. "Just imagine that if you ever become a vice admiral or something like that. Then even an admiral wouldn't be able to fight one hundred Vice Admirals, then if you awaken your fruit. It will be terrifying to fight against you."
Itachi's eyes widen a little when he hears this. 'Is this what dad had in mind when he gave me this fruit?'
As Itachi (clone) thinks this the original stirs up and looks around. He looks at his clone and extends his hand toward the clone. The clone then gets up and gives the original a handshake.
Immediately the clone deflates like a balloon and his memories are absorbed by Itachi.
….
Later on, Itachi is guided to his room by Ain and she explains to him how things generally work around here.
As they are walking Ain can't help but ask Itachi his age, who is about her height. "By the way, how old are you Itachi? I am seventeen and wonder how did you get in the marines?"
Ain can't help but smile with a blush on her face as she asks that. Itachi is handsome, strong, and very humble. He also is respectful and seems to be kind too. The perfect man…
"I am twelve." Answers Itachi as he enters his new room. "Anyway, see you around Ain. I am currently still too tired from the training so I will sleep now and eat a very big breakfast in the morning."
Ain can feel the world crushing her as she hears Itachi say that. Him being twelve shocked her, he looks like he is at least sixteen.
…..
Itachi on the other hand doesn't care about any of that. He noticed the signs that Ain was sending him, his father has a harem. He knows when someone is showing affection towards him. Ain is simply infatuated with him.
'As dad used to say… it's just a simple crush.' Thinks Itachi, as his mind wanders at the most important part. 'Her devil fruit… it's quite interesting…'
He thinks that as he opens the window to his new room and contemplates it. 'Her fruit… will be quite useful to the family.'
As he thinks that, a strange look appears in Itachi's eyes. Unlike his usual eyes that he portrays in front of others, his eyes gain a certain coldness in them as he looks at the full moon out tonight.
….
At the same time, Ain just walks back to her room dejectedly.
….
….
Tomorrow comes in the blink of an eye, Itachi wakes up in his new room which is fully cleaned up by his clones before he went to sleep yesterday evening.
As usual, he gets up and does the routine that he has always done. Ever since he was a child. Brushing his teeth, some stretches, a shower and he then goes to get some breakfast.
As he walks in the cafeteria he doesn't see Ain or anyone like that. The cafeteria is huge and has thousands of official marines in there. They already had their group of friends and such. So he just goes and sits on his own, he takes a giant tray of food as big as half of his body. But that doesn't seem to be strange at all amongst the marines so no one pays him attention amongst the rowdy hall.
Itachi just takes his food on an empty seat and starts eating, unbothered by the loud sounds around him.
….
AUTHOR NOTE:
We see that Itachi isn't all as he seems. If he had one thing that was better amongst all of his siblings… that would be acting.😏
P.S: Itachi is also obviously quite handsome… more handsome than Ichigo actually...
P.P.S: When this story reaches 2000 Power Stones, it will get +1 Bonus Chapter that day.
