They had found him there, the only living person on Raftel, sitting at the base of the Devil Fruit tree. His clothes were worn thin by the weather and frayed in multiple places. Vegetation snaked around him and several adventurous breeds of creepers had simply grown over him.
He said he hadn't moved in a long time. Twenty years to be perfectly precise and he'd sat by himself for an even longer period before that. Long enough for him to be nearly swallowed whole by the tree.
"I have not seen another person since Roger came with his crew." He rasped and blinked blearily at the assembled pirates before settling on their leader. "I doubt you have the power to achieve what he could not or to grant me my wish."
"Hey, old guy! You have to try and fulfil your dreams yourself first."
"Ho? What makes you think I haven't? I spent three hundred years investigating with and without good nakama. I did find what I needed but that's precisely the reason I came home here. Only the most powerful mean and women would reach us here."
"Ah, so it's a special mysterious dream then?"
The man tilted his head and smiled in a broken manner. "Some things you cannot do by yourself boy. But tell me, since it is rare that I have had visitors. What do you want with this graveyard orchard?"
"That's easy!" an enormous smile spread underneath the brim of a straw hat "We came looking for an adventure!"
