- ? POV -

It's strange how history repeats itself in strange ways. The Pirate King, the most free person in the world, the one with the most gold, fame, glory, and of course the holder of the greatest treasure the One Piece. Gol D Rodger was the first, recently revealed that he surrendered after realising he had an incurable decease and father of the late Portugas D Ace.

The second Pirate King and the one now on the execution stage, Monkey D Luffy. Turns out the title may be cursed, The new pirate king also got an incurable disease. strange, he destroyed the Tenryuubitou, Found the One Piece and now here he is up on the execution stage smiling. It reminds me of the day we first met, he smiled on that same stand here in logue town. It is funny that the thing that finally defeated him in the end was a disease, not the Yonko, the Marines, CP0, or even the Tenryuubitou.

My name is Vice Admiral Smoker, and the one who turned in my so called rival. I am known to be the man who destroyed the Warlord System, and the rival of the pirate king. I guess it all starts out the same though. Monkey D Garp, rival of the first Pirate King my so called rival raised the former child of the Pirate King in his home town.

I guess it only makes sense that I raise the next, I think this as I sail away on a small one maned boat looking down at the baby in my arms, along with the massive straw hat covering his face. I guess it might sound strange but Boa Hancock, the mother of the child is strange. allowing me to take the child away, Well if the small blue and baby snake next to the baby is anything to go by, I guess she loves her child.

FIVE YEARS LATER

- Somewhere in the East Blue -

I finally received a break, that idiot Fleet Admiral Coby keeping me away from the brat to do chores. However when I look down at the folder in my hands I don't know whether to find it hilarious or sad, one Boa D Shanks named after his fathers childhood hero stood there glaring at me.

I have been saying this a lot lately. however, it's strange how fate replays itself. When you see a child just like Portugas D Ace in the fact that he acts like his mother more than his father, although I have to say I am proud that he doesn't hate his father if the straw hat he's wearing is says anything.

The island I left the brat to grow up on was actually the Goa kingdom, however because of its size he is no where near were his father grew up. Oh and how can I forget, One hilarious fact is that at least I succeeded were my predecessor failed, I actually made the kid not want to be a pirate, although he doesn't want to be a marine either to my personal distaste.

I mean he decided to become a bounty hunter! can you believe it? His Great Grandfather is a Marine, Grandfather is a Revolutionary, Father is a Pirate, and well I guess it's only normal that we need a bounty hunter up in that mix.
