Prologue
The Knight's Past
I feel I should first introduce myself. My name is Swift Dark Zane, Or Swift D. Zane for short. Most people just call me Zane its easier that way. I am just your average warrior from the island of Aurana in the calm belt. Training all day and night I kept on getting stronger. I look like your not so average 19 year old guy. My hair was pitch black except the tips of my hair which were a deep crimson. My eyes were a rare shade of dark blue. My right ear was pierced an a simple little black hoop was their. I had 2 scars on my face one right through my right eye and one on my left cheek. My clothes are pretty simple. I wore a blue no sleeve shirt with a black Cross on the front with a wing coming out of one side. A pair a dark blue pants with a black crescent moon on each pant leg and a pair of black shoes. Around my neck was a necklace I got from my mentor Renji the red wolf that was a reddish wolf fang with a bit of gold to hold it on the string. See your not so average 19 year old guy. I also have one unique feature that makes me completely different from other people not from the island I come from. I have what is called a +anima. A +anima is person who has gained the abilities of an animal like the ability to breath underwater if you have a fish +anima. Mine is a crow +anima witch give me the ability to fly.
Now I am also going to tell you some things that have recently happened around Aurana. People from the government wanted every Aura Knight and Aura Guardian to join the marines so they could use our power to stop all the pirates. Every time it was brought up during a world government meeting it was shot down by whoever was the delegate during that meeting. This continued for 5 more years until that day. The day they called us the greatest enemy to the world government since Ohara. The day they called in a buster call on the island. The day I became the last Aura knight with my Aura Weapon Star Seeker.
"Hey Zane," a guy with red hair in a spiky pony tail held up by a white bandana said to me. "Hey Renji need something," I said looking at the sun rise. I always enjoyed watching the sun rise and set it just gave me a relaxed feeling. "Nothing just checking up on my pupil," Renji replied with a smile. "Same old Renji, so how was the world government meeting" I asked curiously. "Boring and they tried the same proposal again but I am glad that the king from Alabasta was on our side," Renji answered. "It's at least good to hear that 1 king dosent think were just living weapons," I said speaking my mind. "Ya I know right," Renji said in a relaxed tone. "I do hope I can meet him one day," I said speaking my mind again." Maybe you can be the next delegate to the world government and meet him," Renji said in a laugh. "Yeah maybe," I said laughing also.
Suddenly I heard a cannon go off. "Um what is that," I said point to a huge fleet of ships coming towards the island. "Oh god no they didn't," Renji said a bit scared. "What," I asked wondering why he was scared. "We have to get off now," Renji said extremely nervous. I have never seen him act like this usually he is so calm. "Ok," I said as we walked off. As soon as we entered the town Renji went to one of the guards a whispered something and then walked back over to me. I then heard the warning bell ring so loud I thought my ear drums popped out. "We need to get a boat now," shouted as we ran to the docks "ok Renji ok but can you tell why," I said extremely curios. "The government has issued a buster call, they are going to destroy this island and every one on it," Renji said reveling his reason for being so nervous. The look on my face was sheer terror. "there is only one boat left," I said scared. "You get on Zane," Renji said as he put me in the boat and gave me a bag filled with supplies in it. "What about you Renji I don't want to loss my master there is still so much I need to learn from you," I said tears streaming from my eyes. "Their isn't anything I can teach you know Zane only you can learn the other skills on your own now go before its to late," Renji said as he pushed the ship out to see with all his might. As soon as the boat stopped I was a mile away from the island. The worst thing in my entire life happened right before my eyes. The island was getting destroyed by thousands upon thousands of cannon balls reduced everything to nothingness. Tears were streaming from my eyes. First my patents died now my home and all my friends and the people on it are gone too. I then started paddling my way out of the calm belt and to the closet sea east blue. My entire world was destroyed right before my eyes. Now lest got on with the real adventure.
