For the past days Reo was travelling on his ship The Argonaut and he has been recovering from his bruises and burns. The casualties cause from Buggy were numbering 15 fatal cases and 15 injured plus the casualties from the civilian side. Thinking through the scenarios played out in Orange town, Reo couldnt help but thinking that he could have done better. In order to distract himself from these heavy thoughts Reo decide to keep his mind and hands busy with something else.
Due to the burns caused by the Buggy bomb some of the white fur has tuned brown and Reo didnt like how it looked so he took the matter in his own hands. He went to the kitchen took out some scissors and started cutting off the burned fur.
After he was done and satisfied that he cant see anymore brown fur he took a look in to the mirror. For his surprise the cut was all uneven and messy and he looked like a stray dog having problems with some skin/fur decease... Hearing that someone was coming close to the kitchen Reo put on the apron to cover his body and pretended he is cooking, while kicking the cut fur under the table.
Coming in the kitchen were the other chefs followed by Informa who was making sure that they were having all necessary supplies.
Informa: "Ok the last thing is the kitchen. Show me the fresh supplies there, please."
Chef 1: "Yes ma'am!"
Reo: "Hey you there..." pointing towards the chef "Bring me the special smoked beef. Please go fast! And Informa can you please stay, I need to talk to you."
Hearing the commands the chef got startled for few seconds but then released a quick response
Chef 1: "Ho-How much, sir?"
Wanting him just out of the room Reo responded without thinking.
Reo: "Just bring all of it!"
The chef made a very surprised face and then left to the storage room on the ship. Informa in the mean time was waiting for Reo to state the topic.
Informa: "Sir, what do you need?"
Reo started blushing, not knowing how to start the topic. Then he decided to get it over with and without saying a thing he started removing the apron.
Inform: "Sir! Dont do that, you are past that point of striping naked! What if someone comes in?"
Saying that Informa started covering his eyes blushing red as a tomato.
Reo: "ITS NOT WHAT YOU ARE THINKING! " shouted Reo out of embarrassment before placing his hands on his mouth realizing it was louder than in intended "Its not what you think, I am not naked I still have my pants on..."
Removing the hands from her face Informa saw Reo's fur unevenly cut. In this sight Informa just stood there for few seconds in shock before she started dropping small laughs out which later evolved in to uncontrollable laugh. In the mean time Reo was standing there with embarrassed face, his ears dropping down on his head and he felt like he lost all his dignity. Staying like that for several seconds looking at Informa laughing, Reo suddenly rushed towards her and put a hand on her mouth.
Reo: "Shhhhh" said with watery eyes "Please help me Informa..."
Informa stopped laughing since the mink's hand was covering almost all her face. She gave a nod of agreement but in the same time a voice was heard.
Marine 1: "Commodore, commodore, the den den mushi, commodore. It captain Frayzah, the operation is a go."
Without wasting a second, the marine rushed in the kitchen. Reo panicked and grabbed the first thing to shield himself from being seen... Informa.
Hugging her with both hands as to cover as much area as possible, the mink lifted Informa in front of his chest. However, her much smaller body was not the best cover if any at all...
Seeing that sight, the marine was shocked and forgot about the report. In the same time the other chef sent for the meat entered the kitchen as well, barely carrying a huge chunk of meat on his back
Then silence.
... ... ...
Reo: "It not what it looks like... aaammm... mmm... Informa asked me to give her an easy bear hug to straighten her back, it's a secret medical technique..." said Reo while averting his eyes to the side as to avoid eye contact.
Marine 1 (Joe): "In that case, can I be next commodore, my back hurts as well"
Chef 1: "Oh me too, commodore!"
Starting to sweat because of his lies , Reo didn't know what to do.
Burei: "Oh get it over with, you shy fuzzball"
To help his little brother Burei got in control. He gently placed Informa on the ground and spoke up.
Burei: "I am sorry my dear Informa, dont mind my stupid little brother! Joe, report on the news, werent you screaming its important?"
Marine 1 (Joe): "Yes sir, captain Frayzah has contacted us that Rear Admiral Lee has given the go signal!"
Burei: "Why didnt you say so faster! Tell the other ships to follow our lead, approach the village and dock. Its time to go fishing!"
Chef 1: "What about the meat sir?"
Burei quickly took out his cooking knife that he always carry and with several precise swings he sliced off 6 pieces which he wrapped in a single piece of cloth.
Burei: "That's enough, you can return it!"
Then Burei left the room rushing to his room to put the suit and his marine coat and prepare for landing.
In the mean time in the kitchen there was silence!
The chefs was blinking in surprise why did he have to bring all the meat for 6 slices and what was that new look.
The marine was still confused by what he saw and the new look of the commodore.
Informa was still processing what has happened.
Everybody were looking at each other as asking one another what has happened. Then the silence was broken by Informa not being able to hold her laugh! That made everybody loosen up and start rolling on floor laughing at the new extravagant look of their commanding officer.
After a minute, Joe went back to the den den mushi and quoted the given orders to the other ships while still laughing uncontrollably, hoping that they could understand what he was saying. (Reference to Burei's command - Tell the other ships to follow our lead, approach the village and dock. Its time to go fishing!)
