From dreamers to treasure hunters, the Straw-hat crew were born.

Adventurous and vigorous, there was never a day we were bored.

Laughing, listening, learning- we learnt the meaning of the word friend; That the bond between comrades is the greatest among men.

Looking back now, it seems so far away. Back when smiles were innocent and fighting; mere child's play.

If we could go back to those days before blood stains scarred our hearts; before our minds became corrupted and bodies had fallen apart-

Do you think we could save those that slipped through our fingers? Or make those feelings of brotherhood linger?

Through suffering we learnt that nothing came easy.

We watch as they fight, live and scream for the dreams they believe in so deeply.

But the scars that have become engraved, are clear indications of their experiences -their pain.

Those memories now fuel their resolve, their ability and reason to stand tall.

And as we journey with them from place to place,

we begin to understand the importance of fate,

for it is inevitable yet impossible to predict,

All we know is they would gladly do anything,

to make their captain Pirate king.
