Shady Business

Marines all had one job in common: Protect the people from pirates. A simple task, really. But there were some who simply had other plans, different goals, different ideas... and they just happened to be Marines as well. Some were more corrupt than others. And some simply wanted the Marine status to now have to deal with them. From experience, they themselves should know just how much of a pain they can be to pirates.

Citra became a Marine for selfish reasons. She might have climbed the ranks through just causes, but once she has reached her goal of getting her own ship to tail around the world, her activity has practically vanished. Like she has only been aimlessly cruising through the world with no plan in mind. At least, that's how some of the other Marines saw it. Because her goal was it to get her hands on a very specific fruit. And she wanted to get it no matter what kind of filthy acts she must do first. Even if that means getting involved with the Underworld

Luckily for her, it seems like someone within her own ranks was someone who got involved in those sort of actions. She's only heard rumors about it though from lower ranking Marines who were talking behind the back of their higher ranking members. Thus, the one that has caught her attention was Raphael O. Raphael. She hasn't heard too much about him yet... but she did hear about the rumors of him involving Underworld business.

On one of her days while sailing around, she went straight to Sunshine Shallows. An island where he supposedly works at. Apperently it was heavily protected by the World Government. Thankfully, being a Marine Commodore, she got on without a problem. Even though some of the Marines looked at her funny. Not like she'd mind it though. She's one step closer to getting some information from someone involved with the Underworld itsself, who's also a Marine! A jackpot, if you asked her.

While she came across many different faces, there was one face who just stuck out from the rest. Also, he had a more impressive looking uniform. Also, he had a different smell than the rest, but she probably shouldn't mention that.

"Are you... Raphael? By any chance?" Citra asked him. Her short size and high voice made it easy for people to mistake her for a child. Even though she was a competent fighter who's incredibly reckless and violent in battle.
