Nice of them to leave my jacket. [AWKWARD PAUSE. The voice coming from Smoker's journal account is not his usual. Or from a male at all.]

What's with my voice?! [That just squeaks there in high-pitched worry.]

Ah hell... I have boobs.

Fuck you Malnosso.

[He... she rather, clears her voice.]

S-Smoker is back... [That's a bit hesitant.] Ikki, he... he might need help. Jitte and kickboxing lessons will return to normal, sorry everyone about the delay. Could I have a headcount of everyone still wishing to take them? I might need to reorganize his schedules.

[The last part is muffled as he starts to shut the journal.]

Damn it! These jeans are way too big! Now what?!

[Eyes narrow. Right. Whitebeard pirates were the Fishman Island protectors.]

She's my daughter. Didn't you ever wonder why she carries a jitte?

[No, not biologically :| But Ace, of all people, Smoker figures, would understand that.]

Hn. Good. Then don't push me. I push back too hard.

[He shakes his head, clearly stunned.]

I didn't know that. And I got it, I got it, sheesh.

Right. Well, it was partly the Malnosso. They put everyone together in families, but when it was over Keimi said she still wanted to learn jitte and keep things. [Rubs her pink cheeks. It secretly made him really happy, but it was a little embarrassing too.]

So don't you and the flaming blue pigeon corrupt her.

[hiken_ace]

Huh... really? Good for her.

[He's not sure to laugh at calling Marco a pigeon, or be annoyed at thinking he'll corrupt her.] Oi, my Pops looked after her island. What's wrong with wanting to be friends with her? She can like both marines and pirates, y'know.

[Sighs and puts a hand to to his forehead. Damn he still needs to get some girl gloves. Annoying.]

I'm not asking you to stay away from her. If you're protective you should understand a father's feelings.

[Huffs on cigars and lightly kicks Ace's ankle, without getting up. Yes it was girly, but he's a girl now so whatever, he doesn't care.] It was another joke. [He's so close to giving up, but no... can't give up now damn it!]
