"So let me explain about myself first. I am an Inari fox, a kitsune , a spiritual servant of Inari Okami who is also known as Oinari. Oinari is the kami of foxes, fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry and, of general prosperity and worldly success, and one of the principal kami of Shinto. In earlier times Oinari was also the patron of swordsmiths and merchants. Represented as male, female, or androgynous, Oinari is all, but none at the same time. Which is why you hear of many past magic users that have a huge impact on economy. Now, pay attention because this is where it gets interesting." *Nod nod* Garp you don't have to do that.
"Now I know you're wondering about that whole egg situation, now when yokai come of age ("YOKAI!?" "Shut up Garp!") we have the option of applying for a position as a familiar. And if chosen by an elder of our race and shrine then we would be sealed into a orb aka egg to wait for someone to come along that would be compatible with ourselves, after all this is a lifetime partnership we need to make sure that we can get along. That makes sense. Every familiar is sealed with key items needed for our future partnership, these include a spell book that changes with the current skill of the user and it has all your lessons and diagrams needed for learning. And as your familiar I'll be learning and growing with you."
Kong interrupts "And you will be training for a new position that has just been implemented for your skill set. A position called High Mage that the Gorosei has told us was given to highly skilled magic users in the past."
And this is exactly what I was afraid of. Becoming a tool for the Government , I've seen what horror they are capable of and I will not become what they want. And that would mean…..
"Oh? That's a really high honor! But it won't be anytime soon that she'll be at a skill level to accept it." Scratching him behind his ears still Garp asks why. "Well because of her age of course. All magic users when they start to learn are always still children. But because she's already an adult she has decades of magic to learn. And all beginners magic is simplistic. Learning how to focus magic into being, and finding a focal object is essential for that by the way. Learning basic spells like changing colors and basic potions etc."
"…..I see. This is disturbing news indeed. The World Government was under the impression that a High Mage would be joining the ranks with the minimum of a year to a max of three. There is no way to speed the process?"
"Nope nope!" grinning his toothy smile Meeko explained further . "We will have to start from the beginning, there is no way to speed the learning any faster." That's a huge relief, I got a huge amount of time to plan for the future then.
Kuzan and Garp both look relieved as well, as much as I give them a hard time and vice versa, they have been exceptionally good friends to have, and I would have been heartbroken if they would have sided with Kong.
"I see, well I will relay all this information to the Gorosei. And you'll be needing to pack as well." Kong is on his way to leave. "Pack?!" Oh god I knew it, I'm going to be forced to go to some weird top secret facility and be exploited.
"And I need to make sure the ship is in order for us to leave tomorrow." Garp why have you betrayed me! "I'm leaving Marineford Garp sir?" Meeko is in my hair sniffing muttering something about pineapples. It's my shampoo and conditioner. Pineapple is my one of my favorite scents and fruit. Its delicious! " Yes Laurel, you'll be coming on my ship and sailing the New World with me starting tomorrow. After all it's the responsibility of your immediate commanding officer to make sure you're training properly after all. Bwahahahaha!"
"I can't wait Mist…er Laurel! I've never been on a ship before and Scarface and Fluffyhead, "HEY!" were telling me all about their adventures on the water! We are going to train hard together and I'll make sure that I will be the best familiar ever to you!" Garps ship? I'll take it. It will be a hell of a lot better than going to a Government compound. "Do you think we'll see pirates?!"
…..oh dear Kami above I hope not. Regular pirates eh, easy enough for Garp and his crew. But easy is never a thing with Garp.
"Arara, Meeko I got you a cute bow to wear." A pink bow is shown from Kuzan. "EHHHH?! Fluffyhead I'm a boy not a girl!" Meeko I think that should have sufficed. There is no need to bite Kuzan over a bow.
