It's the Admiral Sengoku's birthday. A party has been organised in the base and most of the important Marines are reunited there. You're on the dance floor, dancing with some friends and colleagues, when your gaze falls on Akainu. He's leaning against a wall in a corner of the room, his arms crossed on his chest. He's muttering something inaudible from where he is, grunting like a grumpy old man. You approach him and decide to make him change his man and dance with you. He sees you approaching and narrows his eyes at you, guessing what you want from him. "Don't count on me..." He looks away.
