"Vice Admiral Sin, we have the last report of the G-2 Marine base being infiltrated by Ace of the Whitebeard pirates." Said one of the marines, who was quite tall. "We should go and help them."

The Vice Admiral in question sighed. "Binz, did they ask for backup or help?"

"Uh… no. But they are pirates." He said as if it explained everything. For other marines it might have worked, but not for this Vice Admiral.

Binz is a rather tall (3 meters in height) and lanky man, with large lips and broad shoulders that appear disproportionate to his long arms. Some might mistake him for being from the long arms tribe, if he just had extra joints like them.

"Then we just do our job and ignore it." The Vice-Admiral said. "He is one of the White Beard Commanders, G-2 has Vice Admiral Comil. And even if I joined in, it wouldn't be enough to take down a Yonko commander you need at least three or four Vice Admirals or an Admiral for that kind of job. Now, I'm not saying I'm up for a challenge, but I think our first priority should be our recent prisoner. Unlike G-2, G-3 is currently without a Vice Admiral and we are ordered to be there, so we will follow that."

The Vice Admiral, was also a tall man, being 2 meters and a half, and unlike Binz he has a strong build to him, having a rather well-developed body. He had tan skin, and sharp golden eyes.

He also had very long, purple hair tied in a ponytail. Wearing floor-length purple and white robes, a white turban with feather decorations, and pointed red shoes. He also wore a lot of jewelry. The only reason someone wouldn't mistake him for a merchant was the Justice Coat that hung from his back. One could also see bandages wrapped around his waist and other parts of his body, fresh bandages.

"Also, I don't think it's as bad as you think, the White Beard Pirates are much tamer, and this Ace fellow has a record for being a troublemaker. He at least should be better than shitty pirates." He said, "Also, I already pissed off one Yonko crew this month, one is enough don't you think?" He chuckled at the last part.

The Vice Admiral was also on top of the Marine ship, laying down lazily on his chair, enjoying his time with fruits and juice. It was night time, so there wasn't much hassle around the Navy ship as most of the staff had already called in for the night.

Another marine was also there, who walked towards them. "Also, it will take a day to reach G-2 by then either nothing will happen or the worst. So in a way, you can trust our lazy bum on this one."

"Rear Admiral X Drake, that is much too improper to casually speak to a Vice Admiral like that." He said, while his hands moved in chopped motion in air. "Even if he is a bum and useless most of the time."

"Hey!" But no one seemed to care about Sin's word.

X Drake in question just rolled his eyes. "You do know, Sinny and we all came from the same camp… heck Sinny is five whole years younger than me." He complained with a pointed finger. "He's practically a baby in my standards. The only reason why he is in that position is because he pestered Sengoku-san into giving him that position."

The Vice Admiral in question did the most mature thing, pull down his eye lid and stuck his tongue out. X Drake returned the same gesture.

"Oi, what you guys doing up there?" Asked another marine that came from up the stairs.

"I'm just teaching our Rear Admiral and Vice Admiral about what a true marine should be." Said Binz. "You should also take note Commodore Shuzo."

Shuzo is a large, dark-skinned man from the Longarm Tribe with a bulky build. "You know what, forget I ever asked." He said, sighing. "Sometimes I forget that you have a stick up your ass. Apologies."

Binz nodded. "Apology acc… wait, You!" With that he clashed heads with Shuzo sparks flying. "You have to learn some manners."

"And you have to clench your ass, before that stick sticks out from your mouth." Shuzo grinned challengingly. "But that's assuming it already hasn't."

Before both of them could take it any further, a voice called out. "Why is there a commotion here? It's quite late." Said a female voice. The statement was mundane, and yet both men felt a shiver run down their spine as they whipped their heads looking at the new arrival.

"Eh… it's nothing Ain." Shuzo said. "We were just talking about… and stuff."

Binz also headlessly nodded. "Y-yes, Rear Admiral Ain."

"Heh, wimps." Sin snickered.

"And why are you here? Isn't it late? You should go to bed, your injuries from the fight have yet to fully heal." Ain said.

Ain is a slender, curvaceous young woman with reddish-brown eyes and dark blue hair framing her face. She looked rather beautiful, wearing a white justice coat, while underneath her clothes appeared quite formal due to her high heels, black leggings, and brown top and skirt.

"Oh, I can go to bed. Only if you join in." Sin winked at Ain.

Ain just gave him a flat look. "You will go to bed. And you will do it, now. Sinbad." She said, squinting her eyes at him.

"You forget that I'm the superior here, Rear Admiral," Sinbad said, glaring back at her.

For a while, he didn't move, just kept up the staring contest before he stood up from his chair while he clicked his tongue. "Tch! Fine." Wincing a bit from his last wound, which was now bandaged up, underneath his clothes. With that, he gingerly took the stairs grumbling about something.
