Before Smoker lost an eye, he was a semi-kind Marine, still ruthless in the eyes of every Marine. Before Morgan defected, he was a feared Marine who captured the captain Kuro. Before there was a band of nine pirates called the Straw Hat Pirates…there was a boy with a dream.

A raven-haired boy sat at port. IT was dawn and no one was awake but him. Adults liked to sleep in, kids would wake up early because they still had dreams in their hearts and vigor in their blood. But all that energy made them head strong. If they didn't get everything they want they'd bicker.
" He's late," the raven haired boy thought.
He marched over to his house. He had a bone to pick with a scarlet haird man.
" Hey, isn't that the son of the drunkard?" a villager said.
" Don't be ridiculous," a female merchant said. " That boy has no parents. That drunkard only took him in on good will. A six year old without parents wouldn't survive."
" What's that boy's name again. M-M-M—"
" His name's Monkey D. Luffy. He's an orphan. I gave him my condolences. But he doesn't remember anything."

Shanks hut smelled like beer. It was a drink no six year old should be around. Just a sip of it could shut Luffy's system down. Luffy found Shanks sleeping on his futon. He was so hot, no shirt, all that hair on his chest, those two bulging arms reeking of B.O., Luffy jumped on his chest and shouted, " Wake up!"
