Garp's POV

I had just returned from sailing. I hadn't been out for very long this time, just since early afternoon. The open sea always cleared my mind, and these days were pretty hectic since my grandson Luffy caused such a commotion on Marineford. That damn bastard Blackbeard had turned in the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard pirates, Portgas D. Ace. During his scheduled execution, Luffy tried with all his might to stop it, in turn, almost bringing down the entire base. A lot more had happened, but I didn't have the energy to think about it now.

The events that transpired played heavily on my mind. Since the incident, I've been in a unpleasant mood to say the least. I resigned from my position of admiral on the spot, I was so outraged. You see, I held, somewhat, of a soft spot in my heart for Ace. I knew him since he was a child, and watched him grow, both in age and fame. It broke my heart, to tell you the truth, to see Ace die in Luffy's arms, when they were so close to freedom. And that's why I went out to sea.

Upon my return, one of my underlings came up to me with the day's report. "Fleet Admiral Sengoku has requested that you join him for dinner, sir." he said, standing at attention.

"Perfect! I'm starving!" I exclaimed. "I just hope he doesn't bring that damn goat with him."

Sure enough, there was the, goat following Sengoku into the restaurant. He looked so dumb with that hat he always wore. There was a life sized seagull on the top of it for Peat sake! During dinner, he tried to talk to me, yet again, about Luffy. "Oh he's fine, Sengoku you old crustacean." I announced in frustration. I wasn't very happy with him, seeing as he acted so cavalier about the execution of my adopted grandson.

So, to drown out anything else he had to say, I began to drink. Within 2 swigs, the sake bottle was empty. Damn. I thought. The only thing to make up for this was donuts. I loved donuts. There was just something about those tiny, round cakes that made me happy. Now where was that waitress? I hadn't seen her in a while.

"Hey waitress! Get over here!" The tiny woman hustled over to the table. "Give me as many donuts as your chef can make."

"We don't serve donuts, vice admiral Garp-san. I'm very sorry"

"I don't care about that. Just give me a bunch of them." To be honest, I think I may have had one sip too many of sake. Her words sounded kind of garbled. I wasn't entirely sure what she was saying, but I could tell she was giving me a hard time.

The next thing I knew, there was a pile of donuts on the table in front of me. It was a mystery to me how they got there, but I didn't care. I started chowing down happily, until that damn goat struck again. He stole one of my precious donuts! This was an outrage! I swear he did things just to piss me off!

I had had enough of this harassment from a stupid animal, so I gathered up the remainder of my donuts and burst out of there. I knew I didn't have to put a hole in the wall, but let's face it, it's more fun that way!

In my anger, fueled by slight drunkenness, I decided to get back at that stupid goat once and for all. I was going to steal him as soon as Sengoku was asleep. Quickly, I rushed over to Sengoku's place and hid in his closet. It felt like ages had passed by the time he finally turned out the light.

Stealthily, I crept over to the goat's bed. Now, why in the hell did a smelly barn animal need a bed? Disregarding that thought I continued with my caper. I grabbed the goat, tied a rope around it like a leash and drug it out of the house. Surprisingly, with all the noise the goat was making, Sengoku never woke up. He stirred a bit, but never work up.

I went to our office where I tied the goat to one of the shelving units in a closet. This was exhilarating! Playing pranks like this on that crabby old Sengoku just filled me with such excitement. I knew he'd be furious, and watching him yell like a mad man with that dumb bird hat made it all the more fun. I could never take him seriously in that hat. With a triumphant laugh, I went back to my house. "Ha! I'll show you Sengoku! I really got your goat this time!"

Realizing the hilarious pun I had just made, sent me into a fit of laughter. I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
