Chapter 12: Marines

1 year later [Year 1513]

Kai was 14 years old and ready to set out on his journey into the world. He had perfected his control over his devil fruit in the last year and was becoming a swordsmanship prodigy. He was much stronger than any kid his age but still couldn't be compared to people like Garp. He had just said his goodbyes to Ace and Luffy and was ready to go to marineford with Garp.

"Hey gramps I know a great restaurant we should go to on the way. It's called Baratie. I hear they serve great rice crackers."

"Bwahaha! Let's go then!"

…

In the Baratie

Kai was sitting down at a table with a bump on his head and a smile on his face. Garp was sitting with his arms crossed and a deep frown on his face.

"You told me they had rice crackers, brat!"

"Wahaha! They must have changed the menu."

"Hello gentlemen, how may I help you today?" A waiter asked them.

"Do you have any rice crackers?"

"Umm. I don't think that we do is there anythi.." He didn't get to say anything else as he was sent flying across the restaurant from Garps punch. Landing on a pile of other waiters who this had already happened too.

"Wahahaha. Gramps you're gonna kill someone one day." Kai said as the restaurant ran out of waiters forcing the chef's too come out.

"I'm gonna kill you if you don't get me my damn rice crackers!"

While the two were having fun eating, two people walked up to them. An old man and a 10 year old kid.

"Are you the one causing trouble in my restaurant?" Asked the kid. Before the old man kicked the back of his head.

"It's my restaurant twerp." The old man said.

"Bwahahaha. You're a funny kid. You're nothing like this brat I'm with. Maybe I should just adopt you instead?" Garp seriously pondered.

"Hey gramps, just because you call it surprise adoption doesn't mean it isn't kidnapping. Don't tell me you did that to Ace too? I gotta tell Morgans about this! The marine's hero is a kidnapper? This is big news!" Garp punched Kai from across the table to shut him up and mumble something about dropping him in the sea on the way to marineford.

"Aniki?" the little kid who was rubbing his head from the kick he got said as he looked at Kai.

"Hey Sanj! It's been a while!" he said while he waved to his brother.

""Oh shit. Another brat. I'm too old for this."" both Zeff and Garp said at the same time.

Kai and Sanji exchanged stories before Kai told Sanji he was gonna be a marine.

"But you better not become a marine Sanji! Be a pirate or something instead! Way better. The marines are the dogs of the government who are the dogs of the celestial dragons. Plus they kill civilians all the time just to catch one random pirate. They are brainwashed dogs who blindly follow a false justice." He was going to continue talking when he got punched by Garp.

"You can't say that when I'm right here brat! Wait, no you can't say that at all!"

The four continued talking for a while before Kai and Garp left for marineford, saying goodbye to Sanji and Zeff. Before they arrived on marineford Kai made them stop and get him a mask. He found a plain white mask with a blue swirl pattern on it that kind of looked like the wind.

(Imagine this but with a wind like pattern instead of the line on it)

Inside Marineford

Garp was walking inside marineford with Kai following him Kai had his mask on. It was more comfortable than he thought it would be. Maybe it has something to do with the clothes you are wearing also becoming your element when you're a logia. He had shoulder long hair that was tied into a messy bun with two bangs hanging from either side of his mask. You could see his sky blue eyes through the mask. He was a little taller now standing at 5,5" feet.

Garp stopped at a certain door. He didn't knock, but instead slowly opened the door and peeked inside. Seeing that the person wasn't in a meeting or anything he closed the door rather than opening it. Took two steps to the right and walked in through the wall.

Sengoku had seen the whole thing from inside his office. From Garp opening the door to his wall getting destroyed a second later. He had a vein on his forehead pop.

"You looked in! I saw you peeking inside! You already opened the door! Why did you walk through the wall!?" Sengoku screamed at him. Garp looked at him for a few seconds then shrugged. He looked at the table for Sengoku's rice crackers but they weren't there. Just as he was gonna complain to his friend for not having any.

"Want one?" Kai asked Garp as he handed him a rice cracker with one already in his mouth.

"Thanks." Garp took it and smiled. Sengoku was confused as he didn't see his crackers get taken. He looked at Kai then at the table, then at Garp, then he sighed.

"I'm too old for this. I need to get a pet."

"You should get a goat. I heard they are great pets."

"Yeah, you're right kid I should."

"Wahaha. No problem goat man. *crunch* *crunch*" Kai replied while eating rice crackers with Garp.

"Those are my rice crackers!!" Sengoku screamed at the two.

""Bwahahah/Wahahaha""

Sengoku sighed again. "What are you even here for Garp?"

"My grandson is gonna be a marine!" Garp said as he punched Kai into the couch and indirectly destroying the rice crackers in Kai's hand. "What was that for old man?!" Kai yelled at Garp. "I don't know." Garp stated flatly. "Damn old man." Kai muttered as he tried to grab another rice cracker only for everyone to realize they were destroyed.

""My rice crackers!!!"" Both Kai and Garp yelled looking at that crumbs falling through Kai's fingers with tears in there eyes. "THOSE ARE MY RICE CRACKERS!" Sengoku yelled at the two. Kai turned to Garp and asked him. "What's goat man's problem?" Garp thought seriously for a moment before giving up. "Honestly, I have no idea brat." Sengoku slammed his head on his desk snapping it in two. "I swear to Budda! You two are worst than pirates!"

Kai shook his head. "Why would he destroy his own office? What a weird dude you are goat man." Garp nodded seriously as he punched Kai in the head and he flew across the room through the hole in the wall Garp made earlier. "The fuck was that for old man?!!" Garp paused for a bit then said. "I really don't know."

"Both of you, STOP! Kid tell me your name right now! Then both of you get the fuck out of my office! I have work too do." Kai was going to tell him it would be hard to do work without a desk but decided against it as he felt a chill down his spine. Probably a warning from Budda.

"Hi, I'm Monkey Gai Fujin, blood type ab, I enjoy your rice crackers, and I don't enjoy swimming. My dream? Glad you asked. My dream is to be hokage! Believe it!" (Gai is used to make a word negative in japanese so you put it in a word to make it the opposite. I did a funny little meme here by leaving in is name to mean that he isn't actually named Fujin)

"I see. I'm Sengoku. My blood type is.. " Grap cut off Sengoku before he could finish.

"So is he in?"

"*sigh* sure as long as he passes the test."

"Great!"

Garp picked up Kai and the rice crackers before walking towards the hole in the wall. He looked up at it and said.

"Bwahaha! Sengoku, this isn't supposed to be here! You should get it fixed soon!" Before leaving the office through the door. "Your desk too!" Kai added on.

"Bye goat guy! Next time you see me I'll already be hokage. Believe it! Wahahaha!"

"I really should get a goat."

Back at Garps house.

"Can you teach me the six powers?"

"I can't teach them to someone I know is going to leave the marines."

"I see."

…

The next day when Kai woke up and went downstairs he saw six new books on the bookshelf.

"Love you gramps!"
