Chapter 46 : Black cage Hina
Marine headquarters.
Marineford.
Smoker was lying in the ward by the window with a cigar in his mouth, with heavy gauze tied on his head, abdomen and right arm.
"It's really ugly. I didn't expect you to be beaten so badly in the same class as Hina. Hina was very disappointed."
With long sassy pale pink hair, wearing a red suit and a cloak of justice and with a sexy figure, Hina was standing in front of the Smoker hospital bed with a thin cigarette and her other arm in her pocket.
"Who is it that beat you like this? Hina is curious."
Hina looked at Smoker and asked curiously.
Smoker, as the logia devil fruit user of Moku Moku no mi is of the strength of her level, but she didn't expect him to be beaten like this.
And... she heard that he seemed to be injured in Marineford, not because of outside mission.
Hina was curious about who did the deed.
"It has nothing to do with you, get out of here!"
Smoker looked out the window and said with a sullen face.
"Hmph."
Hina looked at him with a cold snort, turned and left the ward.
On the way back from the hospital, she inadvertently saw a black-haired boy in a white exercise suit walking with his eyes closed, arms outstretched and barefoot on a long courtyard wall.
It turned out to be quite steady.
"This is the intern who was recruited from Vice admiral Garp's recommendation? He's really young."
Hina looked at Blaze and became interested.
"What are you doing?"
She asked him.
"Practice."
The boy still had his eyes and replied.
"What can you exercise by doing this?"
Hina was little curious.
She walked with him, but one was under the courtyard wall and the other was on the courtyard wall.
"Exercise sensing the surrounding."
Blaze tried to exercise his sense by walking with his eyes closed, thereby comprehending Observation Haki.
Hina didn't know his plan. At this time, hearing his answer, she couldn't help but smile as it sounded like a child messing around.
"Your name is Blaze, right?"
"Yeah."
"My name is Hina."
Blaze was slightly startled when he heard the name.
Black Cage Hina.
So it was her...
"What do you like to eat?"
Hina walked with her hands behind her back.
"I like everything delicious."
"Then, do you want to go shopping with Hina? Hina will take you to eat delicious food."
...
When Smoker in the ward looked out the window, he happened to see Hina and Blaze walking together.
His eyes couldn't help but shrink.
"That Hina... why would she walk with him?"
"Could she already know?"
Smoker's eyes widened.
If Hina knows.
That means that the whole Marineford may know it!
He Smoker, was injured by a child of 11 years and was hospitalized!
In fact, Hina doesn't even know this!
She just intends to take the little boy who she has a good impression on to go shopping together. There is a store she wants to eat for a long time and it seems that a new dessert will be launched there.
Only a few of them knew about the match between Smoker and Blaze.
Sengoku and the others will not expose Smoker's wounds.
As long as Smoker and Blaze didn't say anything, no one else would know and after Smoker's injury healed, this matter would seem to have never happened.
But now Smoker has misunderstood and feels as if everyone already knows...
Lying on the bed, Smoker with his cigar stared out the window blankly.
After a long silence.
He made a decision.
"After the injury is over, leave Marineford, no, leave the Grand Line. Find a place to stay."
On an island near Marineford, Hina and Blaze ate and drank all the way.
Blaze also temporarily gave up the idea of practicing, as a kid of his age ,he started relaxing and enjoying a variety of food and specialty drinks without much scrupple.
The two of them had a lot of fun.
But they don't know that Smoker is now ready to leave the Grand Line.
After returning with Marineford's warship carrying a variety of food, desserts and clothes, Hina bent over and smiled at Blaze:
"Hina likes you very much, little Blaze, come to Hina's crew."
Although she only got along for a little time, she really liked Blaze and she seemed to treat Blaze as her younger brother.
If Marine students who were at the same class with her saw this, they would be very surprised. That proud, cold, confident Hina would be so gentle and doting to people.
Blaze shook his head.
"Hina, I'm not Marine yet, I can't be your subordinate."
"Really, Hina is sorry."
Hina was a little disappointed, but still accepted Blaze's decision.
Blaze nodded and smiled at her, "If there is a chance next time, I will go out to sea with you, Hina."
Hina, who is over 1.8 meters tall, bent down and stroked his head with a smile.
"Ok."
...
In the evening, after the warship docked, the two separated.
Hina, wearing a cloak of justice, stood on the deck and watched the little figure fade away, with a smile on her beautiful and smooth face.
Hina is now Lieutenant Junior Grade and there are still many missions to catch pirates at sea. Today was a rare time to rest.
She heard that Smoker was injured and originally wanted to come to see Smoker.
Unexpectedly, she met the specially recruited intern who was rumored to be so young and cute, completely separated from this serious and dull Marine headquarters style.
It's like a touch of verdant green on a dull gray background wall, full of vitality and involuntarily attracts the independent and highly individual Hina.
" Lieutenant Junior Grade Hina, should we set off now?"
An adjustant asked behind Hina.
"lets go."
Hina turned around.
Hina will meet you again next time, little Blaze.
