3 Chapter 2 - Vice-Admiral Tsuru (1/2)
On the endless ocean a dinghy headed toward a large blue-green battle ship. The ship had three masts, the first and second having the image of a seagull with a wrench, and the second also having the word 'MARINE' printed in blue. On the ship stood a tall woman with white hair wearing a purple blouse and black pants, a white justice coat draped over her shoulders representing her status in the marines.
???: ”Vice-Admiral Tsuru! There's a dinghy floating towards us! Should we leave it alone or pick it up?”
Tsuru: ”Can you see what's on the dinghy?”
???: ”It looks like a child is passed out on the dinghy!”
Tsuru: ”A child? Then what are you fools waiting for? Pick it up!”
The large marine ship started moving towards the small dinghy quickly, and soon Vice-Admiral Tsuru could see the child onboard the dinghy. He looked about 5 years old with short blue hair, tan skin, a yin-yang tattoo under his right eye.. He was wearing a white hoodie with black stripes, ears and a tail, as well as black shorts with a gold belt and finally a pair of slide-on sandals on his feet. The belt appeared to be holding weapons, guns and knives, by the looks of it.
As the ship got closer, several people from the marines began to throw hooks onto the boys boat, then they started reeling it in. While reeling it in and raising it, Tsuru was able to get a closer look at the boy and realized his belt holstered, not guns and knives, but one revolver on each side with blades attached to the end of the barrel!
Tsuru: ”Bring him to my room after you're done pulling him up, I will ask about his origins and the reason he is floating around on this ocean. Put his dinghy somewhere without other life boats and the like, in case he needs the dinghy for something.”
???: ”Yes, Vice-Admiral!”
After giving out her orders, Tsuru left to go wait for the boy while making herself some tea.
- 10 Minutes Later -
In Vice-Admiral Tsuru's cabin, Sora woke up. Looking around, he found himself on a bed inside a very professional looking room. At this time it could be seen that his eyes were a dark blue color. The gentle swaying every now and then helping to let him know he was still at sea.
???: ”You're in my room, boy.”
Looking toward the sound of the voice Sora saw Marine Vice-Admiral Tsuru. Pretending he doesn't know who she is he asked, ”Who are you?”
Tsuru: ”My name is Tsuru, I'm a Marine Vice-Admiral. What is your name and why were you floating around around on a dinghy? Why do you have those weapons?”
'Dinghy? I remember I was on a raft.' Sora thought
Luna: {Yeah, but you upgraded it remember?}
Seeing he was not answering, Tsuru thought he was scared. ”Don't be scared, I'm one of the good guys!” She said while giving a kind smile.
Sora: ”Sorry, Vice-Admiral Tsuru, I was lost in thought. My name is Voi D. Sora, 5 years old, my reason for floating around in the dinghy is to explore the world in search of my wives. My weapons are obviously to fight anyone who gets in my way!” He laughed.
Tsuru's mouth twitched hearing his reasons then she sighed.
Tsuru: ”Who are your wives? Maybe I can help you.”
Sora: ”I haven't met them yet! But I'll know when I do, and we'll continue to explore the world together!”
Tsuru frowned and said: ”Kid, you shouldn't be greedy. One woman is enough. What about your parents? Why would they let a 5 year old wander the sea?”
In response Sora shrugged ”I don't have parents, but I once heard that a great man can have as many wives as he wants! The more wives the greater the man is!”
”Well, just stay on board here for now. I'll get you a room on the ship. Do you need your dinghy?” Tsuru sighed then asked.
Sora: ”Yeah, the dinghy is my boat! Can you lead me to it, so I can put it away?”
Although Tsuru wondered how he planned to put the dinghy away, she still decided to lead him to his dinghy. When they arrived in front of it he touched it and it vanished. Tsuru thought it must be a devil fruit, but Sora just put it in his inventory.
Tsuru: ”Did you eat a devil fruit?”
