Interview 1
[Recording begins]
[Sounds of chairs scraping across the floor]
INTERVIEWER: Hello, sir. Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me.
MAN: Tch, so you did know that I was busy.
INT: Um, right. So! Please introduce yourself.
MAN: Captain Smoker.
INT: Really? It says here that you’re a commodore…
[Silence]
INT: Um, okay. [Coughs] So tell me, why did you become a marine?
MAN: JUSTICE!!!
INT: P-pardon?
MAN: I said, “To toss miscreants into jail, or hit them with a giant stick.”
INT: Right… that… is a rather large stick… can I see…?
MAN: No.
INT: Okay… Let’s see… what’s it like being a marine?
MAN: I get to toss miscreants into jail, or hit them with a giant stick. But there’s too much paperwork.
INT: Does the paperwork take up a lot of your time?
MAN: No.
[Brief pause]
MAN: I don’t do any of it.
INT: Oh. Um… are you allowed to do that?
MAN: Paperwork gets in the way of JUSTICE!
[Slamming noise]
INT: Y-yes, er, please sit down sir, and don’t hit the table with… your giant stick.
MAN: JUSTICE.
[Chair scraping]
INT: Okay! Next question. What do you think of the marine uniforms?
MAN: [Snort] They’re stupid. I’ll find that miscreant who designed the uniforms and hit him with a giant stick. Why would you write “MARINES” on everything, even the freaking hats? It’s like yelling, “SHOOT ME, I'M FROM THE NAVY!” to every pirate in your vicinity. Plus the scarves are ugly.
INT: I see. What about your… current uniform?
MAN: I like the jacket.
INT: I surmised as much. Do ranking marines generally not wear shirts…?
MAN: There are also female marines.
INT: Oh. I guess not then.
MAN: Sexist.
INT: Moving on! Final question: what bothers you the most about the Navy?
MAN: That we have to listen to those government @#$%tards.
INT: W-what?!
MAN: What, did I stutter? I said that I hate those @#$%ing @#$%ers that are so @#$%tarded that they make @#$ --
INT: Thank you, goodbye!

Interview 13
[Recording begins]
INT: Hello, miss, thanks for agreeing to be interviewed.
WOMAN: Hmph. Hina was forced to come.
INT: Oh, so your name is Hina?
WOM: Of course. Hina’s name is Hina, imbecile.
INT: Um… right. So! Shall we start?
WOM: Well, what are you waiting for? Hina was busy until you decided to interrupt her.
INT: Sorry. Ahem! There aren’t many female officers, yet you are female.
WOM: Hina believes that that was quite obvious. Can’t you tell that Hina’s female?
INT: Er, yes, it’s rather easy to… [Cough] Anyways! What is it like being such a highly ranked officer in the Navy?
WOM: Hina finds it fun. Everybody listens to Hina and does what Hina tells them to do. It’s very easy to get stupid men to listen to Hina. But Hina hates the paperwork.
INT: Paperwork seems quite unpopular.
WOM: Humph, so you’ve met Smoker already? Hina thinks the old goat is getting fat.
INT: Right… anyways, what do you usually do in a normal day?
WOM: Hmm… first Hina wakes up and makes herself presentable. Then Hina eats something. After breakfast, Hina makes her rounds to make sure everything is running smoothly on the ship.
INT: That sounds pretty normal.
WOM: Yes, it is routine. Then Hina orders her slaves to do whatever she wants. If there are pirates in the area, Hina will go beat them into a pulp stylishly. Maybe crush their ship too, if Hina is bored. Then Hina must eat lunch or else Hina will be very, very angry and kill some people. In the afternoon, Hina pretend to do paperwork while actually painting nails. Then dinner. Then final rounds. Then beat a few slaves. Then Hina go take a nap.
INT: Er… that… still sounds normal…? Um, next question. What’s it like being a Devil Fruit user?
WOM: Oh, Hina finds her powers very useful for capturing criminals. Useful for other things too, but Hina won’t tell you.
INT: Is it inconvenient not being able to swim?
WOM: Hina never liked swimming anyways. Ruins Hina’s hair.
INT: I see. Last question… uh, this has been bothering me for quite a while now, but… why do you refer to yourself in third person?
WOM: Hina does not know what you’re referring to.
INT: See, you just did it again.
WOM: Are you insulting Hina?
[Chair scraping]
INT: U-uh, no, I was just wondering -
WOM: Hina angry now. Hina will demonstrate usefulness of Devil Fruit powers.
[Brief silence]
INT: H-hey! Why did you attach me to my chair?! Answer me!
WOM: Hina already answered your ‘last question’. Interview over now. Hina leaving.
[Clicking high-heel shoes]
INT: W-wait! Don’t leave me stuck here! Let me out! SOMEBODY HELP M -

Interview 21
[Recording begins]
[Door slams]
WOM: I’m sorry I’m late, ma’am!
INT: That’s alright. Please, have a seat.
[Chair scrapes noisily]
INT: Shall we begin with an introduction?
WOM: O-okay! I’m Ensign Tashigi, ma’am!
INT: [Chuckle] Well, aren’t you precious? No need to salute, ensign. Please tell me, what do you like most about your job?
WOM: Ooh! Um, I like getting the opportunity to collect swords. Most of the famous katanas are found on the Grand Line, and it’s great being able to take them from the bad guys!
INT: Haha, you’re pretty enthusiastic about swords! So, are you good at sword-fighting?
WOM: Y-yes, but I have plenty of room to improve.
INT: So modest! Are you sure you’re Smoker’s second in command?
WOM: Y-yes… the higher-ups assigned me to him since nobody else could, er, handle me.
INT: I’m sure you’re wonderful company. Silly superiors.
WOM: Um, that’s not really the reason -
INT: Oh! What a pretty sword! Can I take a look?
WOM: Oh! Okay. Here, I’ll pass it to you.
INT: Over the table is fine -
[Loud crack]
INT: Eek!
WOM: Ah! The table! I-I’ll fix it!
[Chair scrapes]
INT: Don’t worry, just leave it to -
[Splintering and crashing noises]
INT: What the -- ?!
WOM: My glasses… oh, there! Ah, much better - huh? I didn’t know swords could fly.
INT: AAAAAAA -

Interview 42
[Recording begins]
MAN: HELLO!
INT: Uh, hello sir! Please sit down.
[Chair scraping]
MAN: I am Vice-Admiral Garp!
INT: Nice to meet you, sir.
MAN: Would you like some tea and crackers?!
INT: Oh, thank you!
[Clinking noises]
INT: So Garp… what do you like to do in your spare time?
MAN: I generally practice my aim!
INT: So hardworking! Your aim with what, pray tell?
MAN: With these!
INT: OH MY - SIR, PLEASE PUT THE CANNONBALL DOWN!
MAN: Why? I haven’t thrown one since yesterday. I’ll get rusty!
INT: PLEASE!
MAN: Oh fine.
[Loud crash]
MAN: Huh. Maybe I shouldn’t have dropped it. Oh well. Gwahahaha!
INT: Ha… haha… y-yeah. O-okay, well, your nickname is ‘Garp the Fist’, right? Can you explain why people call you that?
MAN: Hmm… the only reason I can think of is my mighty Fist of Love!
INT: Fist of… love?
MAN: It is a punch containing all my feelings of affection! Here, I’ll show you!
INT: N-no, that’s not really necessary -- !
[Crash]
MAN: So! How was it?!
INT: V-very… unforgettable. [Shaky laugh]
MAN: That’s the love of D. for you! Gwahahaha!
INT: Charming.
MAN: Those no-good grandsons of mine don’t appreciate my Fists of Love! Scoundrels!
INT: G-grandsons? You mean there’re more of you?!
MAN: Those ingrates! Becoming pirates even after all the training I gave them to become strong marines! I’m angry just from thinking about it!
INT: Sir, put down the cannonball!
MAN: You’re no fun!
[Loud crash]
MAN: Huh. Maybe I shouldn’t have tossed it over my shoulder. Gwahahaha!
INT: You broke the wall!
MAN: Well, it was a cannonball!
INT: It’s rolling down the hill!
[Distant explosions]
INT: … thank you, sir. The interview is over now! Have a nice day!!!
MAN: But there’s still so much left to do!
INT: Good bye!

Interview 57
[Recording begins]
MAN: Why am I here?! Didn’t I already do this?
INT: Sorry sir, but our interview… ended prematurely.
MAN: You’re obstructing JUSTICE!
INT: Sir, please shut up. [Sigh] This time, I’ll ask some more personal questions. Nothing about the marines. At all.
MAN: I don’t want to answer personal questions.
INT: Tough cookies. So, why do you smoke two cigars?
MAN: Because I can. And because they’re good for me.
INT: Uh, smoking isn’t good for -
MAN: I said that they’re good for me.
INT: Oh, Devil Fruit, right. Okay, then is ‘Smoker’ your real name?
MAN: Yes.
INT: Really? That’s a bit suspicious. I doubt you were named Smoker. I think it’s a nickname coming from the nature of your Logia and also the fact that, well, you’re a smoker.
MAN: Do you want me to hit you with a giant stick?
INT: Wow, Smoker really is your real name? Who woulda thunk it?! Now that that’s settled, are you in a relationship?
MAN: Excuse me? Are you implying that I love someone other than Justice?
INT: No, I’m not - hey, justice isn’t a person…
[Chair scraping]
INT: Sir, please put the stick down!
MAN: FOR JUSTICE!!!
INT: OH SHI -- !
