 Deep within Marineford Town, there was a typically tranquil dojo. While many to-be-marines trained here with special instructors, very few came back after donning the uniform, and even fewer of those who no longer even wore one. Kara was there today, having rented the whole space for her thoughts and for practice for the duration of the evening.
Instead of an empty room, she had arranged the training dummies to resemble a scattered army. In the center she had inflated a long pool, and fixed a slender wooden board from one of its ends to the other, secured a few feet over it. From the ceiling dangled pots and pans, tied with ropes to the beams above. There was a whole box of knives now nearly empty, with all of the sharp instruments pointing up from the bottom of the pool. While some chance existed to fall in the water in such a way as to not step on one, it required godly coordination and some amount of luck and foresight. Falling in any way but on your feet looked like a recipe for disaster.
She wore a simple training outfit designed for comfort – sword in its sheath to her back and some of the extra knives on her belt. There were armguards on her forearms and her feet were bare. With all the work to fix up the place for her practice done, Kara was low to the floor in a stretch when the door to the dojo slid open. Turning around to a slow curve, she looked to the newcomer over her shoulder and instantly recognized him.
Zernebog had been a marine before her, and as fate had it, remained one even after. She knew very little about him except that her sister had roped him into a friendly rivalry that had only ever been mentioned between the two sisters. Even so, she gave him a small smile and a slow wave, pulling her legs under her.
“As the proprietor of this place for the evening, I’d offer you a drink, but unfortunately this is not a tavern,” she began very casually, side to him and both hands on her legs. Kara watched the marine for a moment, then reached down to her belt. “I can treat you to a knife instead, how about it?” Having pulled one blade up, she dangled it between her fingers, watching the silver-haired marine with a serious form of mischief in her eyes and slightly curving the edges of her lips.

There were many dojos and other places of training and martial spirit in Marineford. It was practically a given considering that the place was the central headquarters of the world navy. This particular one he was in, however, served as a training place for many a cadet during their formative years, and he was no exception, having been here before years and years ago to learn as a greenhorn. [break][break]
Now though, he certainly didn’t recognize it as he entered the dojo in his usual black training gear due to all of the modifications that his new training partner for the time being had set-up for what looked like an intricate obstacle course. He didn’t get much of an overview before his attention was grabbed by the eerily-familiar (which was to be expected given that she was most definitely related to Suzanne, and given the super striking resemblance maybe even twins) pinkette greeting him while she was stretching down on the floor. [break][break]
”I have a knife of my own and I can make extras on demand, but thank you for asking.” He replied with a small, bemused smirk as he waved the offer off. ”Nice to meet you in person, Kara, by the way.” [break][break]
All he really knew about this woman was that she was most definitely related to Suzie Q, that she used to be a marine but isn’t anymore, and that she clearly had enough free time to set all this up before he got here. Not much to work on, but it was at least something. And hey, training’s always a good place to figure people out. [break][break]
”So, what’s exactly the plan for this set-up you got here?” He asked her curiously as he walked to an open spot and then began his warm-ups, starting by jogging in place to a count in his head and then working from there with several simple exercises to warm and loosen the muscles up.[break][break]
