31.1 Engineer



Current time, Morning, Marines fleet...

The Marine send a fleet last night to escort Dr. Vegapunk back home at Baltimore in Karakuri Island. Consisting at least 6 Warships, the fleet were comandeered by a newly arised Marine Vice Admiral Kimimaro in charge of the overall mission.

"Enel still hasn't come down from there?" Kimimaro yawned as he went to the deck of his flagship while he asked one of his crew. 

Seeing his superior pointed towards the ship's bird nest at the top of main mast, the soldier nodded while giving Kimimaro a warm towel to wipe his face.

"Hahaha, what a farce." Kimimaro shook his head as he went towards the ship quarter deck where the ship's brain located. 

Last night, when Vegapunk met Kimimaro's captain, Enel. He was suddenly attracted seeing the unusual structures of Enel's body. 

After he ask Kimimaro permission to research Enel's body which Kimimaro agreed much to Enel distress, the scientist turned mad in instant! 

Using a peculiar eyeglasses which wrapped around his enlarged head while holding several strange tools of his, Vegapunk began to pester the young Captain nonstop until dawn. 

Enel was of course feeling upset, however, he couldn't do anything as he knew how important the weird enlarged head man to the World Government was, and so even with his apprehensive feeling, he complied seeing his brother gave the mad scientist a green light.

That was until Enel couldn't held on anymore as Vegapunk began to asked him about his origin and many personal issues, finaly, ignoring Vegapunk plead, Enel ran away towards the Ship's bird nest on top of the main mast until now.

Kimimaro entered the Quarter Deck and immediately getting salutes from the crews on duty inside. 

"At ease gentlemen, anything new?" Kimimaro asked his Quartermaster who stood behind the Ship's steering wheel.

"Nothing new sir, we just passed Momoiro island just few hours ago at dawn. And according to our speed, we will arrive at Foolshout Island in 3 days." Replied Quartermaster.

Kimimaro nodded, and then went towards a huge table called the chart table on the middle of the deck, he saw the world map complete with miniature ships of the Marines and several potentially pirates ship on their way towards Karakuri Island which have Vegapunk's hometown, Baltimore.

"Where's Tiana?" Kimimaro asked one of his Navigator who currently observed the chart with log pose. 

"Ah? Ah! Sorry sir, i just noticed you there!" 

The navigator was a young man in his twelfth, he was wearing a Marine cadet outfit complete with its hat, he also wore an eyeglasses. 

"At ease Rome, where's Tiana?" Kimimaro smiled in reassurance.

Letting out a sigh of relief, the young Marine called Rome replied, "She was euh, Ah! There she is!" 

At the place where Rome's hand pointed, Kimimaro saw a young woman who suddenly accelerate towards him and jump! In no time, Kimimaro couldn't help but opened his hands wide to prevent her from falling towards the table.

*Wham!

"Ahahaha! Nice catch Kimimaro sir!" the young woman giggled inside Kimimaro's warm embrace. 

Much to her disappointment, Kimimaro simply let her go immediately letting her slim figure fell to the wooden floor. 

*Thud!

"UWAH! How cruel! Is this how you treat your lover? See! See everyone, look at your Boss! So heartless." The young lady named Tiana simply accused Kimimaro in exaggerated manner while giggling hearthily.

The other crews around pretending not to see it as it was her usual act whenever she got rejected by the young Vice Admiral on their ship.

Kimimaro shook his head helplessly when he saw Tiana behave, "Please be respectful, beside i'm not your lover Tiana." 

"Huh? How could you!!" 

"Enough, be serious Tiana. Our package this time is massive, tell me about our routes."
