CRASH!!!
Startled out of a sound sleep, Woop Slap bolts upright in bed, frantically scanning his still-dark room before spotting broken glass. He worries until he spots a familiar pair of arms clinging to the window’s wooden frame. Sighing, he gives up on sleeping ‘til a decent hour and marches –mindful of the broken glass unlike some people- over to pull the Monkey brat in.
“GARP! What the hell? It’s too early for this!” Useless really, yelling at the kid. Nothing ever got through that hard head but it makes Slap feel better. He even shakes him for emphasis.
As expected, the kid’s shit-eating grin doesn’t waver and the sudden nap's not a shock but he’s surprised when someone else speaks up.
“He thought it’d be cool,” Dadan explains with some exasperation after climbing into the room and shooting the Mayor’s son a ‘be-thankful-he-didn’t-wake-you-first’ look. And he is. Dadan doesn’t even live in the village.
“Well?” They turn to the brat just as his nose bubble pops. “Bwuh?”
Groaning together Slap drags the bottomless pit to the kitchen for breakfast while Dadan cleans up.
They’re on their second cups of coffee –“None for you; you’re already a menace without caffeine,”- and the monkey’s third plate when Garp sticks his pinky up his nose and remembers his Important Announcement.
“I’M GOING TO BE A MARINE!”
Spit takes all around.
“What!?"
"Why?!”
“Cause they’re great! They catch bad guys and stuff! AND THEY’VE GOT DONUTS!”
They goggle at him but before they can wrap their brains around the idea of the loud monster in a stiff suit, he’s already leaping from the table. “I’m gonna go train now!”
WHAM!!!
Staring at the abused doorway, Slap asks, “Think he can handle it?”
Dadan snorts, “Think they can handle him?”

Awesome story, even though I always thought Woop Slap was at least ten years younger than Garp. Then again, it's hard to tell in Oda's style. But this was a great take on small!Garp. We really need more of him! :3

I wonder if he made his instructors cry?I was never really sure on their ages though Woop Slap may just be treating Garp like he's the younger cause he's an idiot and less mature?
thanks!

Date: 2009-10-23 04:37 pm (UTC)I'm not clear on their ages either but I thought they might treat Garp like a kid (older or not) cause he acts like one
glad you liked it *hearts*
