White Tiger

Afternoon, Holly Land Mary Geoise...

Kimimaro was spotted sitting outside one of Pangea Castle's largest conference rooms, which also housed five elders of the World Government. He was waiting for the meeting inside to conclude. 

Several guards, each with a unique cone-shaped helmet and a steel spear in their hand, stood in a specific spacing between them, looking like statues. 

Kimimaro was reading a book while patiently waiting for his supposedly escorted target, unconcerned about the guards' presence. 

Just this afternoon, Kong assigned him a mission to escort someone from Mary Geoise back to his hometown on Karakuri Island in Paradise; however, Enel does not accompany him. 

Kimimaro assigned him another task, while Kimimaro traveled to Mary Geoise alone. He was aware on how terrible those Celestial Dragons could behave, and given Enel's past, he could not allow his brother to accompany him.

Just as the sun had completely set, the conference hall's twin doors opened, revealing a tall figure with a strangely enlarged head exiting the room bringing a small golden globe. 

The man was quite tall, standing a head taller than Kimimaro due to his enlarged head, and he had brown spiky hair on the side, with a bandage on the left side. Aside from his strangely large head, Kimimaro was drawn to his elongated tongue, which he always stuck out.

He wore formal black suit for the occasion, as soon as the man steped outside, Kimimaro stood and gave him a smile. 

"Congratulations for the award Dr.Vegapunk..." Spoke Kimimaro as he stretched his hand towards the man.

Dr.Vegapunk was stunned slightly, however he soon stretched his other hand's back and shook Kimimaro's while wondering who was this young man wearing white Haori, and had shoulder-length white hair which he tied on his back with red band.

"Ah, yeah, thank you..." Dr.Vegapunk replied awkwardly, despite his stern face his voice remains soft.

"I'm Vice Admiral Kimimaro, the Marine send me to escort you back home to Baldimore." Kimimaro stated his purpose seeing the confusion on the Doctor's face.

Hearing Kimimaro's purpose, Vegapunk felt a slight relief showing on his red tomato cheek, after sighing, he asked, 

"Unn, thanks. May i ask where was the man from this morning?" 

Kimimaro raised one of his eyebrow when he saw Vegapunk turned slightly nervous when he asked about Sakazuki who had escorted him toward Mary Geoise this morning. 

"You mean Vice Admiral Sakazuki?" 

Vegapunk nodded, "Yeah." 

"Hahaha, it seems you've had some unpleasant time with my colleague this morning. I'm sorry if he caused you any dissatisfaction Doctor." Kimimaro bowed slightly making the Doctor taken by surprise.

"Ah, no, no...It's okay, it wasn't unpleasant at all, he looks like quite difficult man to getting along to. Its fine." Vegapunk denied awkwardly.

"Then, shall we go now Doctor?" Kimimaro gestured with his hand to let the Doctor follows him. 

Vegapunk followed him from behind and went out the huge Pangea Castle at the middle of Mary Geoise, when both of them walked outside, the pair could see several Celestial Dragons walking around with their own personal entourage. 

Each and everyone of them wore something resembling a hazmat suit with bubble made out of special material as a helmet, Kimimaro led the Doctor away from their path as he doesn't want to have any misunderstanding with those so-called 'God's Descendant' of the world.

Dr.Vegapunk gritted his teeth silently when he saw those Celestial Dragons were accompanied by slaves, they were numerous with each of them wearing a collar with blipping red light connected to the chain while its other end were held by the World's Noble.

Kimimaro noticed how the Doctor felt uncomfortable seeing such scenes, so he inadvertently slowed down his steps and walked beside Vegapunk, just enough for him to obstruct the Doctor's vision.
