Garp slammed his fisted against the large double doors, then stood back and waited to be called in. A frown was deep on his face, he was not happy with Sengoku; the man should have known about his request of leave.
The room opened and Garp marched in with gritted teeth and he made his way right over the room and stood before the desk where the other man sat gazing down at paperwork.
"Garp." Sengoku said as he turned his gaze up and stared at the marine hero, "I need you to do one think before you leave."
"I refuse." Garp replied bluntly as he relaxed his shoulders, and stared at the man daring him to say any more.
"You must, Garp." Sengoku said forcefully as he glared hard, "And you mus go at once, we are having trouble with Roger's old crew. They running riot without let up, also building their own pirate crews which are causing more headaches!"
Sengoku eyed the hero up, he was holding his jacket on the right size and kept pulling it out slightly looking inside. 'Garp if you starting eating, I swear I throw my paperweight at your head.' He placed the palms of his hands on the desk's surface and pushed himself and walked around.
"I'm sure you can handle those pipsqueaks!" Garp said with a bit of a laugh, as he glanced inside his jacket and grinning madly at whatever was there. "Send some of those stupid newcomers, that will teach them a lesson their never forget!"
"Garp..." Sengoku said with a sigh, he knew full well that was stupid, "No, I think you would do something like that..." He said aloud to himself as her stood in front of the man, "Garp whatever it is that stopping you, just take it with you. I'm sure you be able to protect it!"
"AH!" Garp shouted suddenly in Sengoku's face, "Take. With. ME. That a brilliant idea! My didn't I think of that! Of course, you will have to sign that it is okay for me to take a non marine onto a battle field."
"Non marines...?" Sengoku mumbled as he reached for the permission slips and began writing, wondering what the hell Garp had drag back with him this time. 'As long as it's not another...'pet'...' He thought as he remembered Garp's bad habit of liking strange and unusually animal and asking it to join the marines. "Here. Now get going!" He handed over the slip and the orders.
Garp grinned as he gazed down at the slip paper, and slowly turned to Sengoku staring at him very pleased. Sengoku began to get uncomfortable, feeling regret over the fact that he never asked what the thing was that he was taking.
"Garp..." Sengoku said quietly feeling like he done something that he could not take back, and it was true, was permission slips were signed and handed over everything could take place. "What were you taking time off for, and please tell me it's those stupid little projects of yours."
Garp carefully placed the slip into his top pocket over his chest and patted it there, watching as the other man kept shifting his eyes to his face and to his pocket. The orders he shoved into one of his deep pocket on the side of the jacket.
"Sengoku," Garp said as he grabbed hold of his jacket opening again, "Don't worry so much!" He grinned as he tighten his fist over his jacket, "I can handle this just fine!" He took a step backwards, making Sengoku more worried.
Sengoku eyebrows raised slightly as he noticed something black and bushy under Garp's fist, he leaned forwards in hopes of having a better look but stopped when he saw two tiny hands holding on the jacket's zip, causing his heart to miss a beat. The black mass moved again and two blank dark little eyes stared at him, then came the rest; a familiar grin appeared on the small face.
"GARP!" Sengoku screamed as he rushed forwards, the child's head disappeared back into the jacket and Garp spun around and made a run for it. "GARP! WAIT!"
Garp was already running and laughing loudly down the hallway, he could here the giggles from his grandson who was curled into his inside pocket; feeling he was a good way away from Sengoku he glanced over and his grin widen when he saw the other had not chased him.
"Oi Luffy," Garp said as he bent his head down, "Want to see Grandpa working?"
"Sure!" Luffy answered as he stood in the pocket and glanced out again, "As long as we can play!"
"Yeah, we'll play until we fall asleep!" Garp said as he began making his way to the docks, where his ship and normal crew were waiting. He reached down and pulled out the orders, reading through them. "Looks like we are going to the North Blue! Luffy there a adventure await us!"
"Adventure?" Luffy asked as he reached up and grabbed his grandfather's neck, the old man brought his arm up and supported him, "What a adventure?" The only thing Luffy knew from his father was survival.
"What you don't know adventure!?" Garp asked as he spotted his ship, the figurehead was a dog with a bone in it's mouth, "Well I can't explain it, but I can show it! When you feel your heart pumping you know you're excited about it!"
"Excited? About adventure?" Luffy asked with his tiny face in Garp's large one, trying to see him.
"Yes, I'll let you know when it's started!" Garp shouted loudly as he laughed, but stopped when he saw a tall man stood with his arms crossed standing beside the plank that lean up to his ship, the man's face was not seen because he had a hat on and he was facing the ground, "Ah...what do you want? You should be on board by now."
"I was inform that you may be bringing something aboard that you should not," The man said eyeing up the child clinging to Garp's neck, from under his hat. "Please leave the child behind."
"What are you talking about," Garp said boldly as he reached for his top pocket, and showed the man the slip, "Luffy can come!"
"This looks..." The man stared at it for a moment and looked down, "Everything seems to be in order. Shall we be off then." The man turned and with his hands in his pockets, walked quickly up the wooden plank between the dock and the ship.
"Here we go Luffy!" Garp declared with his free arm raised into the air, "What kind of adventure awaits us?!" Garp laughed all the way to the ship, causing little Luffy also to laugh along with him.
The marines that were on Garp's ship and under his command, had seen a lot of things while working there. But a child that clearly looked like him, hugging and laughing with him in the same manner; this was something they never even thought about seeing.
