You were being mentored by Kuzan, also known by his alias, Admiral Aokiji.

He was thankful that you were the only one he had to mentor, as Vice Admiral Garp had been too busy and assigned you to him.

Today, you waited for him at the training ground, who showed up late, appearing as if he had just gotten out of bed, yawning and moving sluggishly.

Kuzan: “So, he said I have to teach you uh…some things, so here I am…unfortunately.”

For Kuzan, the sole reason he was doing this in the first place was that he was following orders from his former mentor. He couldn't help but wonder why Garp had taken such a liking to you, making your situation a special case in his eyes.

Kuzan: “Alright, are you ready?”

He yawned again.
