Ambitions to become the Pirate King!
Before starting the story I would like to say that this is my first story ever, and I'm really curious what you guys think of it, so please give me a few reviews. I would really appreciate it I don't care if it's positive or negative, I just really want to know if it's any good so any criticism at all will be greatly appreciated. Also, English isn't my native language so forgive me if there's any spelling errors. Consider the story below an introduction and if you like it, I will continue working on it. Enjoy!
Chapter 1. Paragon D. Bo
"Bo, wake up. It's graduation day."
Slowly Bo opened his eyes but instantly had to raise his right arm to shield them from the bright sunlight shining through the opened curtains. When his eyes adapted he saw Jake, his roommate, standing in front of him. Like always the brown haired boy wore his black sunglasses and even though they had been roommates for over two years now, Bo never got to see his eyes.
"Come on man, get up. Graduation starts in half an hour!"
"Yeah yeah, lemme get dressed first. I'll be there in a sec. You just go on ahead." Bo said, still a little irritated because his sleep was so rudely interrupted.
When Jake had gotten out of the room Bo got up from his bed and put on his uniform. "Today will be the last day I wear this stinkin uniform." He said to himself while looking in the mirror. Bo was a muscular 21 year old boy with short blonde hair and a crooked up-turned nose he got as a result of some sort of accident he couldn't even remember. But despite his crooked nose, he was still decently handsome.
After tidying up his hair and brushing his teeth Bo decided it was time to go to the graduation ceremony. Walking through the hallway were all the bedrooms were located, he realized he was starting to feel really nervous. "I'm really gonna do it." He thought. "Today I'm gonna rob this friggin marine base of its most prized possession. Today, I start my journey to become the pirate king!" Feeling his nervousness growing, Bo thought back to the moment that led to this decision.
Initially it wasn't his plan to rob the marine base. Up until a week ago, his plan was relatively simple. Get trained and educated at the elite-marine training school in the West Blue, graduate, steal a small sailing boat while everybody is at the graduation and sail to the next island. Then get a ship, get a crew and go to the grand line. But a week ago, something interesting had caught his attention. The marine base's captain had called Bo to his office to congratulate him on getting the highest possible scores on the exams. While captain Menko was rambling on about what great things these exam results could mean for Bo's career, Bo couldn't keep his eyes of the man's enormous mustache. Captain Menko was a large, tall man with a rough, chiseled face which happened to have a huge mustache on it.
After deciding that the captain's mustache was indeed very big, Bo let his gaze wonder across the rest of the room when his eyes fell on an extremely rare object in the left corner of the room, safely stored under a bell jar. It was a pink pineapple with red and blue swirls on it and Bo immediately knew it was a devil fruit. This thing could turn him into an even stronger pirate if he could get his hands on it, so he decided that he should steal the devil fruit when the time was right.
And today the time was right! Everyone was going to be at the graduation including Captain Menko, who probably only left a few guards at his office. All Bo had to do was to sneak away and the devil fruit would be his for the taki….
"Bo! Took you long enough! I've reserved a seat for you." Jake said while slapping Bo on his shoulder.
Bo instantly lost his train of thought as he realized he had already arrived at the centre square of the base, where the ceremony would take place.
"Man, I've never seen you like this, just now you really looked like a zombie! Something wrong Bo?" The boy with the sunglasses asked while raising is eyebrow.
"Guess I'm just a little nervous, that's all. Let's go to our seats and get this damned ceremony over with shall we?" Bo smiled at Jake to ensure him that he was fine, and they walked to their seats in the fourth row.
After he sat down his thoughts quickly returned to the mysterious devil fruit. What powers would this fruit grant him?
