A pirate ship docked at Dawn Island in the late evening. The ship was made of massive logs that lay flat against the waves, making a rather large impressive raft, its sails were black with a three skulls looking in different directions with bones sticking out from the skulls. Not that anyone on the small island saw any of this as it was late enough that any fishermen or merchants has already docked for the night; many were either having dinner or getting ready to go to bed.
The pirate looked on at the small Windmill Village with little to no interest. In fact, the most interest even one of them had was to confirm their location.
"You positive this is the location? Cap'ian won't be happy if we've bought him the wrong kid." The smallest man asked, looking concerned.
"Looks really quiet for somewhere were Fire Fist grew up…" Another man, this one wearing a blood stained shirt muttered, looking between the village and the dirt under his nails as if deciding which was more interesting.
"Cap'ian only said he wann'd the kid… so boys," One man announced gaining everyone's attention in just a few seconds. "Have fun." The pirate's cheered.
"Let's make this town more interesting." He said with a cruel smile, his lips pulling back to show razor sharp teeth and his eyes glowing in the darkness.

Miles away in the over grown forest where animals five times bigger than normal lived marched a boy. A boy with messy black hair, a straw-hat, a cheerful skip in his step, and two dead crocodiles being dragged on the forest floor. No other animal tried to claim the prize or even stepped in front of the boy, as for a long time this forest had been his playground, and by now he and his brother where the kings. But now his brother was out at sea, living their dream, and he was the only king of these forests.
"Niku, Niku! Gonna eat all the Niku! Niku from the east! Niku from the west! Gonna eat all the Niku! Niku! Niku!"
Luffy cheered as he walked through the forest on a familiar path, the sun setting behind him. Humming under his breath he quickened his pace when the house came into view.
"Ah! Dadan I brought meat!" He cheered kicking down the wooden door and entering with a scream.
Ω
Windmill village was in ruins. The houses were burned down or destroyed. Bodies of the few village people were scattered about, some still alive and crying out for help. The streets were covered in blood and were a mess of discarded objects.
"Anyone find the kid?" A man with missing teeth muttered kicking at the burning ash that had use to be the mayors house.
"Nope, found some nice looking women…" One man answered, leering at the hand full of women they had kept alive.
"Keep it in your pants, cap'ian will be mad if we don't have the kid."
Suddenly a man roared a heavy plank in his hands, swinging it widely around trying to his one of the pirates. A lone shot rang out and before the captive women the man fell, gasping for a few minutes before a whispered sorry left his lips.
"This was boring, no one really fought." One pirate complained, now walking over to kick the newly dead body.
The first man that had spoken looked at the forest contemplating. "Has anyone checked in there?"
For a moment the crew looked between each other. "Jerry keep the women company, everyone else let's smoke out a rat."
Ω
The smell was the first thing Luffy noticed, it swept through the bandits' hut filling the air. For once the fight for food stopped as the bandits took notice of the smell.
"Did you start a fire and forget to put it out?" Dogra asked the younger boy looking annoyed- well more annoyed then he usually looked.
"No, I caught them and came right here, Ace told me not to eat raw meat unless I really, really have to or else all the meat in the world will disappear." Luffy told him, looking horrified at the memory. A world without meat!? The horror! He would surely die.
The bandits laughed, snickering at the brilliance of one of their youngest.
"Ace is completely right. Never eat raw meat unless you are out of food and no one can cook it." Marga said quickly, holding in snickers.
"Someone head to the village see what's going on." Dadan announced looking at her men commandingly. One man nodded and headed out, shortly after he left the family began to eat again.
Ω
BANG
Rang through the bandits' home as the body of Dadan's man came flying in and then slumped over.
The family stood up all at one as the pirates made their way inside. "Well, well, well, look what we have here… and here we thought we had all the fun at that tiny village."
As a whole the family did a sharp intake.
"No…" Dadan whispered, images of the friendly village in her head. The friends the bandits had made… Makino… the Mayor…
"Yeah, they weren't much fun… I mean some of the women were, especially that green haired bitch, she was real feisty." The man leered, looking smugly at the group before him, idle stroking his short sword.
"Makino?" The boy mumbled looking confused for a moment.
With a roar Luffy shot forward, lunging at the man in the doorway.
"What did you do to Makino-onee-chan?!"
"Nothing for young ears to hear." One of them sneered, easily stepping forward and slamming the flying body (Luffy) down, denting the floor.
"This the kid?" He mumbled, looking at the struggling boy curiously, slowly adding more and more pressure to the boy, until his stomache was completely flat.
"Looks like it."
"Seems to have a devil fruit." The large man told him grabbing the boy.
"We'll throw him in a barrel till we get some sea-stone."
Swiftly they tied the kid up.
"What are you doing?!" Dadan yelled, stepping forward with her men.
"Cap'ian wants the boy." He explained helpfully.
"PUT LUFFY DOWN."
"No."
Luffy was carried off like a sack of potatoes, watching in horror as the bandits were completely beaten… and killed. The house was set on fire, their bodies still inside. As well as the few pirates the Dadan family had managed to take down with them.
"No! No! NOOO!" He screamed, wiggling and kicking trying to free himself.
A hard chop hit the back of his neck, and for a few moment dots danced across his vision before everything went black. The smell of smoke was still in the air.
Ω
Luffy awoke to darkness, he wasn't actually sure he woke up. He was not comfortable. His body ached from rope burn, he felt sluggish as the water sloshed around him, and his head hurt. Most of all he could still smell the smoke, now mingled with burning bodies. It seemed to cling to him, even more so then the smell of the salt water he was sitting in.
For a moment he sat there in completely silence, before he started to mumble. "Dadan, Marga, Dogra, Makino, Mayor… everyone." Sniffling he curled as much as he could into himself. He cried.
But not for long. Suddenly there was ight and hands yanking him up.
A pirate with missing teeth and dirty clothes leered over him.
"The fun's about to begin."
