Chapter 1: My Dream

Location: West Blue, Shogos Island

Year: 103 AL (After Luffy)

In the middle of the western sea sits an island that goes by the name of Shogos Island. The people of this island are nothing extraordinary, just another one of the vast island that sits in the ocean. In fact, the island would be entirely forgotten if it hadn't been for the pirates that came monthly for their "tribute." You see, without the marines the world quickly fell into turmoil. Islands became independent and pirates constantly battled over new territory. My island was once such island, currently under the tyranny of the Blue Eyed Pirates. They were a nasty bunch that would arrive monthly to take our food and money in exchange for our lives. Men tried to stand up to them, however all that did were quickly executed. Little I could do to change things around the island. I'm only 16 years old and never fought a day in my life. In fact, the majority of my days are spent in the library, learning from the many stories of olden times and the mighty marine heroes.

One day, on my way back from the library I decided to take a short cut through the market district since I was already running late. On my way I could hear a commotion. Interested by the sound I decided to hide behind a crate and peer into the street to see what had happened. To my astonishment I say the bloodied corpses of three Blue Eyed Pirates. Standing near their bodies was a man with a thin blade, covered in his opponents' blood.

The man looked at the bodies and screamed, "Who's next? Come out and fight me like a man! Everyday for years I have trained for the moment I could expel you pirates from this island and today is that day." Just then two more pirate leapt out, trying to attack the man from behind. Before I could even blink the man had decapitated both of the attackers, as if they were nothing but pawns. For the first time in my life I felt hope, knowing this mans dream was about to come true, and our island would be freed.

"Henchman are not easy to come by you know. I do not appreciate you cutting them down so cruelly," said a cold relaxed voice from down the other end of the plaza. As I turned my head I could see the outline of the man that had made the statement. He was not dressed like the other pirates, in fact this one looked slimmer and nowhere near as muscular as those that had been cut down.

As I thought of whom this new pirate was I could hear the man from my village say "You're one of the lieutenant of the Blue Eyed Pirates, Vaga." He laughed "I'm sending your head back to your captain, to show that this island is free and will stand up to those like you." As he finished his words he charged at Vaga. I was confused at that moment, for this Vaga man was suppose to be so powerful, yet all he did was stand there as my hero charged forward, surely this battle would be over in just a second.

My instincts were correct, the battle was over in just a second, however the victor was not as I had predicted. Vaga looked at my hero and a chilling Aura erupted from his body. This Aura knocked the man to the ground and wrecked the buildings in the area. Even me, who was hiding behind a crate, was knocked down. My insides were on fire. My only thought was of how much more painful it must have been for my hero who was mere feet away from the Aura, while I was 100 meters away.

Vaga walked over to the man from my village that was curled up in a ball, screaming in pain. "I thought you were going to liberate this island?" said Vaga "It would appear you're just not at our level. And imagine, I'm just a lieutenant in the Blue Eyed Pirates. There are still many more powerful then me." As he finished his words he plunged his sword through my heroes chest, killing him outright.

I sat there for hours, just thinking. That man had trained for years to fight the pirates and they took his dream away. In fact everyone, including myself, have had their dreams taken by these brutes. It was in that moment I realized what I must do in my life. I would need to bring order to the world, and protect the dreams of the people that the pirates had denied.
