Welcome to Gaia! ::

"A real man drinks his coffee like the sky", a deep voice crooned, tipped in only the most sophisticated twists, like a piece of music in human form, "Pitch black, and full of wishes."

The usual bustle of the maritime military's headquarters was apparent, reaching all through the base, and its surrounding area. As always, there was quite a bit of crime to deal with, and not enough people to get it done. Of course, the people that could get it done were weighted down by the one currently inside their cafe, the loafer in a suit vest and topped with wavy black hair. A true italian man if there was one, from the Olive Islands to the south.

The server eyed his somewhat skeptically, just putting down what he could understand from the Captain's completely off-key way of talking. He just set down the "pitch black" part of the coffee in front of him, explaining, "Sorry, I didn't get all that. Tell me if you need anything else." The captain just smiled, taking a sip from coffee so bitter most men couldn't stand it, "It's alright. A man can live with what he gets, or else I won't forgive him."

"Who are you?" Raven harshly replied to the weak kid. He had no time for some weakling that someone lower than him assigned. After all all the higher ups didn't have any children and no one in the vice admiral rank also.

"Coby? You mean that dumb marine who got fired last year? He use to be the fleet admiral but that was all in the past. And Sengoku, I mean that guy is so old that he can't even remember the difference between good and bad." Raven harshly explained as he drank another cup of tea. He was hard on this marine kids, but he saw something else on this boy. Depending on the kids answer, he was going to train him.

"Sorry but kiss ups aren't going to train under my name. Now leave."Raven replied, all the hope he had put in this kid was gone. He had expected the kid to answer valiantly not power hungry."and kid, you can still be a marine but you can never go any farther."He said harshly as he returned to his drink. He was expecting more but the kid gave him less.

"Nope your just a wannabe seeking for power so leave and never com back."He never did like those kinds. Thats probably why he never got along with Luke much.

"You kid would never survive with me in one day of training. I don't think you can even survive a minute. So leave with your tail between your two legs and go home."He didn't even have to glance sideways to show that he meant it.

"Alright then..give me your best shot."Raven remained seated for this as he didn't need to stand up against a weakling.He had enough control of his muscle to balance out his force. Depending of how this kid elaborated on his attack, Raven is going to make his final decision.

"This has got to be a joke."Raven still remained seated as the smoke cleared out. He was still wearing the same kind of expression he was earlier before the fire blew out."this is your best?"
