Hina

Currently Sengoku the Afro man, Garp, and Tsuru-Chan, looked at Jaffar with different gaze.

"Are you really fall in love with Hina?" Tsuru-Chan asked. She vaguely remembered someone with Hina as her name.

Jaffar just nodded. Although he never met Hina, at least her figure wouldn't disappoint him.

"Okay, I can assign her to your team. But you will need more merit to rank up than normal Marine." Tsuru-Chan bargained.

Jaffar smiled at her and nodded. "At least, I can meet reasonable human here. Tsuru-Chan is the best. If our age not overly far away, I will surely pursue you."

"Ara, you even dare to flirt with this old lady. You seem really fearless." Tsuru-Chan said teasingly.

"Of course. I'm Jaffar the Great after all. Ocean will tremble hearing my name alone!" Jaffar said with puffed his chest.

"Before I officially approve you joining marine, please show your abilities." Sengoku asked.

"At least I can perform good level of Observation Haki and novice level of Armament Haki. You can ask Old Man Garp if you don't believe it." Jaffar said nonchalantly. His tone while speaking with Sengoku and Garp really different than while he speak with Tsuru-Chan.

Sengoku looked at Garp and Garp nodded at Sengoku. Then Sengoku assigned Jaffar as Captain. Before Sengoku could gave him his duty location, Jaffar cut him.

"I want to be assigned in Conomi Island. I have a friend there, expert in navigation yet forced to be a thief by Fishman Pirate. I wanted to help her."

"Who?" Garp asked surprisingly.

"It's youth secret, Old Man." Jaffar answered.

Then Jaffar looked at Tsuru-Chan. "Tsuru-Chan, please assign Hina to my ship."

"Hahaha, okay okay. You are really something. Even you dare to call me Tsuru-Chan." Tsuru-Chan laughed.

"Nah, Dare is my middle name." Jaffar replied carelessly.

***

On the port, where recruit do their daily task before assigned to captain ship or captain office.

"Hina feel someone want to mess with Hina." A beautiful blonde girl helped marine officer pack ship supplies.

As her instinct work perfectly, an officer suddenly walked at her and gave her salute.

"Recruit Hina report to the highest floor. I already excused you from your supervisor."

"Hina understand." Hina gave her salute and the the office left the site.

She immediately said to her supervisor and lead to the highest floor. She understood that the highest floor was the Fleet Admiral's room and she somewhat nervous.

Arrived at the front door, Hina knocked the door. Although she saw the hole on the wall, she still preferred to enter from the door.

"Enter." Someone said from inside.

Hina opened the door and saw the famous marine higher up talked to a young man. From his figure, she thought that the youth was in same age as her.

"Hina report to Fleet Admiral." Hina gave Sengoku salute.

"Good. From now you will be assigned as his team. You will be his vice captain." Sengoku said as per him and Jaffar agreement before.

"Yes, Fleet Admiral." Hina accepted without any hesitation.

"Brat, I have fulfilled your demand. Now go far away from me!" Garp said suddenly.

"Hmph! Don't miss me old man. I hope you don't cry like child when you miss me!" Jaffar started his banter again. Jaffar really loved to banter with high profile characters.

"You!" Garp shouted.

"Don't worry Old Man, If I meet Luffy, I won't arrest him." Jaffar suddenly said.

"What did you mean by that?!" Garp said while his fist already blackened.

"Nah, your grandson already embarked and became a pirate. He idolize Shanks after all. And don't worry, at least I can guarantee with my name that he only loot bad and vicious pirate without harming innocent." Jaffar said with solemn expression.

Garp looked at him silently and Tsuru-Chan looked at him with full of interest. As for Sengoku, he already rubbed his forehead.

"You even dare to guarantee with your name..." Tsuru-Chan murmured.

"Of course I dare! All Old Man Garp's offspring are like that. Even Dragon with his man also never harm innocent." Jaffar said with full of pride.

Sengoku stared at Garp instantly as Garp laughed out loud.

"Ara, you're really enigmatic, young man. If our age not overly distant, I will really let you be my couple." Tsuru-Chan said teasingly.

"Please don't tease me, Tsuru-Chan. Hina is here. What if she doesn't want to be my wife anymore?" Jaffar said with his faked sad expression.

Hina who silently looked at the marine higher up talked with young man who would be her captain soon. She dumbfounded and confused at the same time. She didn't know what to do.

"Hina, can you lead me explore this place? I only arrived here this morning. I don't know anything about this place." Jaffar said to Hina who following him.

"Yes, Captain." Hina answered with slightly hesitate.

"Don't overly stiff. I followed Old Man Garp and become marine because of you. So, I want to cherish our moment." Jaffar said with sincere smile. It was very rare as Jaffar always show his annoying face to other.

"Hina don't understand, captain." Hina replied with her flat expression.

"Hehe, I have fallen in love with you, Hina." Jaffar said while holding Hina's hand.

"But Hina just met captain not long ago. Hina confused." She answered with her trademark style.

"Nah, you didn't need to to understand for now. Just let fate decide our future." Jaffar said and then gestured her to lead the way.

Hina really didn't understand. She obviously knew about love, yet she really didn't have any impression about her new captain. But from his tone, she could deduct that her captain had met her long ago. Her new captain also knew her a lot. It was the source of her confusion.

She shook her head and then lead the way.
