"Papa..why can't i come with you? i'm strong enough! i have the power of the gem-gem fruit!." a little boy cried. The brown haired boy hung on to his farther's tick black jacket. The boy's farther let out a laugh and rustled his son's hair."Listen my dear boy, your still to young to join me and my crew's voyage right now." he said. The boy made a face than said."But i have the-" was than interrupted by his farther."That's a good power,but that doesn't mean anything. I'm still upset that you ate that thing." he said. "But i was hungry and this old guy let me have in at the market place." the boy said. the farther sighed. "Besides the point,you still don't know how to use your powers well. You need a little training...know what i mean?" he said. the boy folded his arms and huffed."Yeah i guess..but do you have to go so soon?" the boy asked. His father pulled out his wanted poster from his pocket than pointed at it."I'm wanted,the marines are getting worst here. My vacation is over boy!" he said."Come on,lets go." he told him. The boy followed his farther to outside,to a barrel that was sitting by a run-down building. the building had wooden planks on the door and windows with the sigh"keep out" pined on the door. The boy climbed barrel and looked at his farther."Hey pa..whats in this barrel and why do you like it so much?" he asked."Well,theres a special kind of drink in there. My captain,when i was a younger found this special drink and he told us to never,ever drink it. He trusted me with it and told me to watch over it for him. I kept it here,because no one never comes around here. Thats why..i want you to protect it while i'm gone. Deal?" he asked his son.

The boy nodded."Right pa! i'll do my best to protect it!." he said. The man laughed."Outta boy! also! make sure you never,ever drink this." the father said. the boy nodded."I promise!" he said."Outta boy~." he said. Someone than called out the boy's farther."Come on captain! time to go!." one of his crew mates."Seems like my crew is ready. Hey,take this." the farther took off a necklace with clear beads on it."These are frozen ice beads. The ice will never melt,unless the first owner is in torblue." he said. The boy took necklace and put it on his neck."Thanks pa,i'll keep up with this always." he said. The farther nodded."You better! those are rare beads! anyways Vandal..take care of you uncle and aunt..to." the farther said."Well..i'm off." he started to walk back to his ship."raise the anchor and get ready to set sail!." the boy's farther said. "Ok Captain " his crew shouted. They removed the odd looking anchor from the water. The navigator than begin stir the ship and it slowly moved through the water. Before they left,Vandal ran along side the ship as it coasted down the harbor. "PA! WHEN I GROW UP! I'M GOING TO BECOME A PIRATE CAPTAIN AND SAIL WITH MY ON CREW! I'LL SURPASS YOU!" vandal's words echoed through the evening ear,reaching his farther's ear

"Such a damn boring day this is..it's nice however..but still boring." Vandal glanced at the cloudless sky."The sky is evening boring..theres nothing in but annoying birds." he rested his back on the smooth wall of the building as he rested on top of the building. He continue look at the clear and sighed."I promised him that i'll be become a pirate... i need to get my lazy ass up and make something happen. I need some kind of sigh or something!." he stood on the barrel and shouted. Just than a newspaper dropped in his hands."The newspaper..." he said."Eh,don't feel like reading right now." he jumped from the barrel and headed for town. When he got there,everyone was looking into paper."Umm,the paper seems interesting. I guess i'll look at for now.." he said. Vandal opened the paper up and begin to read it."Umm, stock market, some's island money whatever, the straw hat pirates disappearance,some new tyrants of the sea..wait..what. Straw hats disappearance..new tyrants?" Vandal's face was in the new paper as he read. It was like reading a good book."After the disappearance of the Straw Hats a year ago, a tyrant or tyrants begin to gain control of the sea. Even the marine's elites don't know about the tyrants,but they seem to after something? something like what i wonder." Vandal said. He remembered seeing the straw hats and reading about them in another paper

"Weren't they same crew that defeated one of the warlords,crocodile, beat that Kuro guy, beat axe hand Morgan, beat that other guy i forget his name..,went to skypia,cause a riot at Enies Loby.?" Vandal said."Holy crap,these guys are freaking gangsters..dang i want to have a crew like that straw hat luffy." he rolled the paper up in put it in his back pocket. He overheard people saying how evil the Straw Hats where,some found them as heroes. "Eh, i better get that stuff for uncle and aunt. I was to busy day dreaming." he said and walked to the produce market."Uh,whats up miss. Can i get some blackberries,apples,pears, green beans,some bread,some fresh water,some milk,some cherries,some bananas,some oranges,and some pickles?" he asked. The old lady smiled as Vandal hand over the money."Your auntie sure do need alot of stuff." she begin to bag up some of the requested items. Vandal leaned on the counter and chuckled."Heh..tell me about it." he said and begin to mess with his necklace. He nearly jumped out his skin when a little boy came zooming by him. Behind him was three rough looking men."Whoa,that seems like torblue." Vandal said and ran closely behind them. The lady laid the stuff on the counter."Here you go young-where did he go?"
