Chapter Text
Coby was an embarrassing dad, and he wouldn’t deny it.
Luffy was just as bad, but he was hardly self aware enough to realize that. Coby didn’t hold it against him though, and he knew their son, Covey, didn’t either, as evidenced by the feeling of joy from his Voice every time either father approached their son’s ship.
That didn’t mean, however, that the poor boy didn’t turn red as a tomato when he saw his father’s ship approaching with the man himself standing there with a megaphone in hand.
Coby grinned, remembering Garp’s attempts at “capturing” his grandson.
“COVEY!!!”
“GO AWAY DAD!!”
The Fleet Admiral let out a hearty laugh at hearing the annoyance in his son’s voice. He spotted the goat Mink and redhead laughing at their captain openly, the first mate trying to scold them while clearly finding it amusing herself.
“HOW ARE YOU? DO YOU NEED ANYTHING?”
“NO!! GO AWAY!!”
The Admiral could feel his subordinates watching in disbelief behind him, minus Helmeppo of course, who fondly shook his head at their antics. He trained under Garp too after all, and he was practically the Pirate King’s brother in law as well. You could only spend so much time around people like them before you learn to ignore the crazy.
“You gonna visit?”, Helmeppo asks, taking the megaphone from his hands, knowing the answer already. The younger man merely grins at him and prepares himself.
And he jumps.
“OH SHIT-“
His son’s face quickly goes from embarrassed to panicked as he realizes where his father plans to land. His crew mates are not far behind, and all three start scrambling to get out of the way of the incoming Marine, dragging their captain with them.
Yeah, he was pretty embarrassing.
