Hero of the marines (CLOSED)

Everyone seems to hang out here nowadays so I came to see what the fuss was about. Hit me with your worst, brats!

Garp snorted as the woman attempted to barter with him. Yet despite the implied distaste, he shrugged. “That can be arranged. I’m sure HQ won’t mind losing a few berries for the sake of security.” Garp could tell from the woman’s face that they’d find nothing that way, but rules were rules and his superiors were the ones to lose face for it. He hardly cared for his own reputation.

In the doorway, Coby stood alert, diligently waiting for orders. Garp decided to give him some:

“Tell the Lieutenant Commander that permission has been granted.” He then gestured to the newly arrived woman. “And take her with you to every crate you mess with. We wouldn’t want to be made to pay extra for crates we won’t touch but can’t prove.”

Of course, with any luck, his men would be smart enough to search some of the crates without sign as Benny was distracted by Coby and Helmeppo.

[ryathenaughtykitsune]

Kanrya grinned like the proverbial fox, near about to the point if Garp could picture fox ears and a tail, it would fit her to a tee. Fleecing the government like this would probably turn out bad for her health but business was business. If she was going to play with the big dogs she needed to prove her worth.

“Benny, treat them right?” She purred out and grinned at the younger woman, who by chance flushed in embarrassment before turning to Coby. “Well shall we go through those crates like your friend wanted?” She asked trying not to let the flush show.

Kanrya smiled warmly as she watched the young woman escort the captain out, exhaling and then winced as her ribs ached. “So, back to whatever we were talking about…” She said as her gaze sharpened on the Marine in front of her.

[ask-garp]

Garp watched amused as Coby stuttered out a: “Y-yes, let’s g-go.” The young captain did a final salute before leaving the room and Garp grinned at him and wriggled his eyebrows suggestively, unable to resist messing with the young man a little. Coby reddened and practically ran out.

After the couple had left. Garp’s leer left his face. They had business to talk after all. “Yes, of course.” There’s been enough skirting around the subject already. “We received an anonymous tip saying you have been smuggling blueprints and sensitive documents in and out of marine bases. Presumably to the Revolutionaries.”

Personally Garp didn’t trust anonymous hints but he would rather accuse someone innocent rather than risk the chance of the hint being correct. No matter how much as he would like to stay neutral when it came to his son and son’s sons...

Kanrya could practically feel the sweatdrop rolling down her forehead as he said that the investigation might take a while yet. This is going to be like pulling teeth…isn’t it… Was the thought going through her head as she turned around motioning for the legendary hero to follow her to the galley. She had seen the look the Marine ‘hero’ had given her. “All due respect, to the ‘hero’ of the marines, but we each have a different perspective on what those rules should be.” She made sure that the man was sitting before she turned her back to start the coffee and to light her cigarette off the stove. She’d catch hell for it later from her cook, but she could care less.

She began to search the cupboards for the cups. “If the marine’s were so inclined to be for EVERYONE’s benefit, the World Government wouldn’t demand that people kowtow to some people that could get away with murder in the streets.” She looked Garp straight in the eye at this, before checking the coffee. “But enough about that, sir, let’s talk about why your on my ship.” The look she was giving the man was one that could curdle milk. In fact, with the smoke that was curling from her cigarette, one could say she looked like an angry dragon about to spit flames.

Kanrya poured the coffee and added sugar and creamer to it before stirring it to make sure it settled right, before handing Garp his cup. She sat down in front of the man.

[ask-garp]

Garp stayed silent during her tirade. There was nothing to say to that after all without making himself look even worse. And it was doubtful she would listen to him anyway. Anyone who lit a cigarette in such an unconventional way had either never been warned about the dangers of fire or just didn’t care.

Next thing he knew, the woman had spun around glaring at him like he had split on her mothers grave. Using the smoke as an intimidation tactic was clever and had he not stared down the most dangerous men in the world or seen Sengoku before his morning tea, Garp would have actually been slightly intimidated.

“Why, I’m here to make sure you have no illegal substances on your vessel.” That was not what she had meant and he knew it. “I was rather sure we had established that by now.” He said with the most innocent look he could manage. Though were one to look closely they would see his eyes sparkling with mirth.

[ryathenaughtykitsune]

She couldn’t help but frown. Oh he was good… Then again the man supposedly faced down Gol D. Rogers. Damn it that was her best intimidation threat! Without a Devil Fruit, Haki, or the legitimate backing of a Yonko or Warlord she had nothing. She watched the mirth sparkle in the mans eyes. If she believed the stories that Luffy spoke of his upbringing, the man terrorized his grandson, could punch mountains into oblivion just to warm up.

Oh well, she managed to hide the areas where the illegal stuff was kept. Pretty ingenious places also if one considered it. She crossed her legs and disarmed herself in front of the hero of at least two of her favored weapons, the guns sitting in the shoulder holsters, as a sign of good faith.

She was not doing well already after dealing with Kizaru. Dealing with busted ribs in this time of situation, the only reason she wanted them off her ship was to relax and take an opioid (the only illegal substance really) to get rid of the pain. Breathing felt like fire racing through her body and the pain was making her cranky. She probably wasn’t looking too good in Garp’s eyes either as she struggled to keep pulling air into her lungs. 

[ask-garp]

Garp noticed the woman’s struggle, but decided to pay no heed to it. Everyone had injuries at some point, no need to anger her further in case she had something else up her sleeve. It was nice of her to disarm however.

The marine opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a young voice in the doorway:

“Sir! Lieutenant Commander Helmeppo suspects there might be something hidden under the bananas. Permission to check the crates for false bottoms, sir?” Garp turned to see the speaker.

In the doorway of the galley stood Coby in full captain’s uniform. Normally the man would have commandeered his own ship as his training under Garp had been over for a while. However due to some issue near the area they were in, the young marine captain and his crew had been assigned under Garp’s command for the time being.

Garo raised an eyebrow at the request and turned to see Rya’s reaction before deciding a course of action.

[ask-garp]

*eyes the giant of a man while having her ship 'checked' over by the marines. Her cigarette casually resting on her lips.* Any messages you want me to give your Grandson, 'Marine Hero'? And don't hit me...I'm not made of rubber damn it...

Garp eyed the young woman with a scowl before he scoffed. “Maybe if you are in any position to give messages after this investigation is over. If we find any forbidden substances on your ship you’ll find yourself behind bars.” He paused and then grinned. “…I make no promises.”

[ryathenaughtykitsune]

She frowned just a little. “The damn Marines make up rules on what’s contraband. Hell, a harmless pack of cigarettes could be considered contraband. I got nothing to hide. Just supplies and shipments that are supposed to be delivered.” She crossed her arms while leaning against the rails. “You harass enough people and you may have casual mercenaries turning pirate for the hell of it.” She raised an eyebrow, a cat eating the canary look, one might say.

[ask-garp]

Garp wasn’t surprised to hear any of this. He knew that not everyone agreed with the World Government’s rules and regulations. Hell, most of the time he disagreed with them. His own son and grandson were both considered criminals in the law’s eyes and knowing the things they would have to go through should they ever be caught made him sick.

But for every pirate who just wants freedom, there is a dozen more that willingly commit terrible crimes for fun. That majority of criminals wholly deserved to be restricted and punished by the law in Garp’s opinion. Even if that meant checking a whole shipment of normal supplies because of a baseless rumor.

On the outside, Garp showed none of his thoughts on his face save for a solemn look. He was mindlessly scouting the horizon with his eyes as he replied:

“Rules are there for a reason.” Then his gaze lightened and he continued, voice amused: “That one about cigarettes for one came to be because someone decided to smuggle illegal goods past the government’s nose in their ‘innocent’ shipment of cigarettes.”

[ryathenaughtykitsune]

She couldn’t help but give a small “Tch!” though it sounded like a good enough excuse. She then sighed softly. “He was doing well last time I saw that stupid grin of his. Causing mayhem and trouble wherever he goes.” She said just loud enough for Garp to hear. 

Course she would deny anything she said if called out on it. However she was curious on who had pointed Garp her way. Maybe she would have to switch to niceties to get information. “Can I have refreshments brought for you? Coffee, tea? I’m afraid I only have a limited amount of food that’s to last until we get supplies of our own.” She offered the Marine a polite smile. No, she wasn’t going to offer food at all. If the Marine was anything like Mugiwara Luffy, she’d have all the supplies depleted in a few minutes and would be lucky if she made it to the next island alive.

Then there was the niggling suspicion that Kizaru had pointed her out to the big time hero for a shakedown. Make a few puns about a fellow’s Devil Fruit power, and he takes a hard shot at not only you but your reputation as a mercenary. Her ribs still ached from the kick that had broke them. “Rules should be made to protect the people weaker than you.” She wanted to say more, but she didn’t have the education to give a proper outlet to how she felt. 

[ask-garp]

Garp snorted. That sounded like his idiot grandson alright. Idly he wondered when she had seen him last and how accurate the statement would be currently before pushing it out of his mind. Luffy could take care of himself.

As the woman suddenly offered him something to drink, Garp raised an eyebrow. Switching tones so quick from annoyed to pleasant was suspicious to say the least. He chose to answer her latest comment first:

“Precisely. That’s exactly why those rules are in place. I’m glad we have an understanding.” He knew that was not what she had meant, but he felt like being difficult. Just because he was an old man didn’t meant he had to act like it. The thought brought a cheeky grin on his face. “Some coffee would be fine, thank you. Might as well sit down for a while; I feel the investigation is going to take a while yet.”

[ask-garp]

[ask-garp]

"I DIDNT MISS YOU AT ALL SHITTY GRAMPS!" Luffy declares this, but is bawling and clinging to Garps arm like a vice. It's good to hear things have improved for you, and that you are getting stronger for all the hardships and experiences you've had.

Garp stands stunned for a moment before ruffling Luffy’s hair and scoffs. “What are you on a bout, brat? I told you I was going to be busy. Now stop crying, there’s no need for it, I’m going to be staying for a while.” But despite his harsh words, he’d really missed his grandson too.

((It’s certainly been a rough road, but I’ll make it. Along with growing up I’ve realized I always will make it, one way or another. Things will get better even if it doesn’t always feel like it. I’ve actually gotten into college now which is a huge step for me. Anyway...Thank you. ^w^))

Yo, people, just a small status update to anyone who’s curious as to where I’ve been and such, being so inactive these days…(Though I am planning on getting more active again so I suppose that’s the important part if you’d rather not read the giant wall of text below the cut. It might be a bit depressing to read so just a heads up…)

Keep reading

[ask-garp]

Hi just passing by to send you some love and motivation ^^ 💕 have a nice day and by the way i love your art and blog hope we see you soon

((Gosh, thank you~~ And nice day to you too! I’ll try my best to get back into action, but I’ve been so busy and mentally exhausted that drawing has kind of dropped into the background for now. But it could’ve been the season, since now that early summer’s past, I’ve been slowly gaining my strength again. I’m currently focusing on personal projects but I suspect I’ll be back to askblogging soon. I was supposed to be working on one of my asks anyway before I ran out of stamina...

Sorry, this answer turned out a little too long, but I hope you don’t mind. ^^’))

[ask-garp]

hey we missed you mun i know you might be busy to answer the ask but can you at least just answer by writing no need to draw ^^ i know it takes a lot of time to do so. it does'nt matter if you aswer just with text cuz we love to interact with your blog :) send lot of love and inspiration to you !

((Thank you! As for writing answers tbh I feel lazy if I don’t at least try drawing something. Right now I’m the kind of point in my life where I don’t have much to do (outside of applying for school which is done by now) and these askblogs are just about the only thing keeping me busy even though I’m really bad at keeping it up. Unfortunately I also enjoy doing nothing which is half the reason I get nothing done for these. ^^’ But thank you for the encouragement! I was actually planning on sorting through my asks when I saw this and this was very much needed.))

[ask-the-strawhat-pirates]

Don’t worry; still active!

This blog is still alive I assure you. I’ve been a little busy lately doing preliminary assignments for universities. I’ve applied for two places so I had eight different assignments I needed to do within a month.

After that I’ve been having myself a little break and remembered I have blogs to run. I’m still going to be taking it easy, but I’ll start working on the next ask in my inbox soon. I’m also been planning on updating my headers and whatnot a little. For all my blogs.

Anyway, sorry for the inactivity! I thank you all for being patient with me, I know I’m really bad with constant updates and only post things like once per month or longer. I try my best honestly and I’m so happy I haven’t gotten any complaints about this so thank you!

[ask-garp]

Is the blog really dead? :'(

((No, it’s not actually. Though it must feel like it with how little content there is. I just haven’t gotten any asks in a while. ^^’

This is the only one in fact and I’m sorry its been sitting in my askbox for ages. I think I was originally planning to draw something for this but then my computer broke. I got a new one at Christmas though so I’m back in business so to speak! ^w^ ))

[ask-the-strawhat-pirates]

A hiatus

My computer’s kinda broken. As in it works almost not at all. Mainly it takes forever to turn on and sometimes I have to try multiple times before it starts working. And then there’s some processing problems; some programs don’t start or take too long to do it and sometimes the whole system freezes to process a single command.

I haven’t tried drawing yet but I don’t have too high hopes and even if I can get this piece of crap to work well enough to spend time drawing it probably won’t be for an ask.

So, yeah, sorry but this blog (+ every other ask-blog I’ve got) is on hiatus until further notice.

I already made a semi-hiatus post on my art-blog from my phone a while ago, but since I got my laptop working today for the first time in weeks(?*) I decided I’d better do a notice here too.

*You wouldn’t believe how time just blends together when you have nothing else to do but read fanfiction from your phone. Dates stopped mattering to me and my mind is still living in October…

[ask-garp]

@akane33

[ask-garp]

garp!! merry christmas!!!!

Well merry Christmas to you too. ((Didn’t draw anything for this, sorry. It’s not laziness this time though!))

[ask-the-strawhat-pirates]

OOC

So I opened up my askboxes again. I still have about 10 or so asks in there that I originally was going to get down to about 5 until I enabled asks again, but after reading the same asks over and over again trying to gather enough inspiration to draw answers I decided I’ll stop forcing myself.

I won’t delete the asks I have there now but I can’t promise I’ll be able to answer them any time soon either. Most likely if someone sends me an ask I find more interesting than the ones I’ve been staring at for a month, (or has it been two?) I might answer the new ask instead. I’ll get to the asks eventually though, no worries.

((On a side note about the OC blog: I still have some old memes and starters there that I will accept if anyone actually is interested in starting an rp or just wants to know more about the characters through them.))
