Fires of Passion

"Top 10 Tips to Impress That Special Sailor" Valentine read off the cover of the newest issue of Marine Magazine. "How the hell does this stay in business." He muttered aloud as he glanced at the upper left corner, advertising the next swimsuit issue. "Oh right." He stood from his bed, tossing the magazine to the floor and walked into his closet, grabbing various articles of clothing. He chose to keep it simple that day, opting for a plain white t-shirt and a pair of black pants both fitting him rather nicely. He then slipped on a pair of black boots and his usual half mask over his right eye. He then grabbed his hair, tying most of it back into a ponytail. He left only a few bangs that mostly covered the mask. He glanced at himself as he passed a mirror, nodding as he exited the room. He quickly ate some breakfast before pouring himself a glass of wine. He drank as he stared at the vineyard outside his window, smiling. It was then that a wall mounted Den Den Mushi began beeping loudly. "Right right, training session." He spoke, swiftly tapping the snail to quiet it. He took another sip of the wine before disappearing from the room.

Valentine appeared on a remote island in Takamagahara, many of them were used for private training, allowing Marines to not worry about damaging the training grounds that classes normally used. The island was quite large in size, able to most likely accommodate 3 large battles. It was quite lush with greenery, though only the center had large groups of trees. They were otherwise sparse, the greenery being mostly waist level at highest. With a quick haki scan he realized he was the only one there. He had set his alarm a little early. "Oh well." He shrugged as he sat on a stump, sipping his wine as he waited on Sol.
