One Piece: Origin
Disclaimer: Don't own One Piece.
Kilnorc: Since I'm taking a break from The Secret Power, and I've had the urge to do this, I figured I should finally start telling the tale of the most mysterious Axe-Head of all...Samuel D. Axe, captain of the Axe-Head Pirates!
Prologue
My name is Samuel D. Axe, but for the last five years, I have been going by the "alias" Axe, which many people thought I got from my weapon of choice, a giant stone axe and belts of throwing axes that I wear. Weird name for a kid, eh? I'm sure there are some people out there who'd think my parents had a weapon fetish while they named me after I was born. I don't care, I love the name they gave me though, it's unique.
Enough of my name...for now.
This is the story of my days as a pirate, er, treasure hunter. Not the journey of recent times, which involves Enies Lobby and Alabasta, but the story of how I became one of the more dangerous criminals on the Grand Line. On this journey, I met a man who taught me powerful secrets, some powerful enemies and very loyal friends, and on this journey I have seen dangers and horrors that would make most men and women a lifeless shell of their former selves.
This is the story of my first crew.
This is the story of the adventures that we had.
This is the story of what happened to me when one of my beloved nakama turned on me.
This is the story of how I discovered the secret behind my family name.
My name is Samuel D. Axe and this...is my story.
Kilnorc: Okay, it's not much, but hey, it's the prologue... -shifty eyes-
