My name is August. I was don't know who I was named after but all I know is that that's what my father named be before he left. My mom tried taking care of me by herself for nine years but she later died of pirates.
For the next fifteen years I learned hell of a lot of things. The most surprising of them is that I learned I was in the world of One Piece at age four. Hell of a surprise and when I learned about it I was in a state of shock for the next week. The next thing I learned is that some of what I had in my previous life had carried over to this version of me. I had my incredible eyesight and hearing which made everyone on the island look as if they needed glasses and hearing aids. The third thing I learned is that I am located in North Blue. The fourth and final thing I learned was that I was born 18 years before the main storyline that had everyone we knew and loved.
My immediate plan at the time was to compete against the straw hat crew which I still have to this day. I didn't feel like it is the right thing to join the crew as I'm not apart of the main storyline and at times I would feel like I didn't belong there.
My plan was to leave my island and create a crew at fifteen and jump on the grand line within a few weeks similar to how the main crew did. I would then take my time on the grand line and hope that it goes well. Whether or not the straw hat crew would meet my crew at Sabaody Archipelago didn't matter to me as I would then follow the same path and train for a few years.
I didn't bother to plan anymore because I didn't want to ruin parts of the fun of adventuring and just leave it up to when we get to the grand line.
I woke up after an afternoon nap. 'I suppose it's about time I get dinner, huh.' I thought to myself. I jump out of my coach and walk to the door.
"The hell do you think you're going!" yelled my drunk adopted father.
"I'm going to town." as I walk out the door.
I don't know why someone like that would adopt me. Shortly after my mom and sister died of pirates I was adopted by him as "insurance." My real father left soon after I was born. My mother didn't seem distressed about it. It actually seemed like she knew it was going to happen.
I always go to town for some sort of food as the people there sympathize me and what I've been through the past few years. There is some joint that will let me get something for little money at the same quality as everyone else.
'Why do I always have to go through death. Can't I have a break.' I thought as I tried to cheer myself up.
I walk into a pub that was owned by friends of mine.
"Oi, August is here." yelled a female waitress named Sarah.
"You don't have to do that every time." I sigh.
"You coming alone this time?" as she ignores my previous comment.
"Yeah."
She leads me to the bar and yells at the bartender "The usual over here!"
"How do you know what I want?" I respond angrily.
"I know, it's the only thing you ever get."
After I finished eating I placed down 500 beli and walked off.
"You do know it costs more than 500 right brat." a drunk pirate called after me.
He walks over to me and puts a hand on me. "You're going to have to pay much more than that." His crewmates walk over to us drawing their weapons.
Out of the corner of my eye I can see the bartender and Sarah watching us out of the corner of their eyes. I put my hands into the pockets of my shorts.
"So are you going to pay or are we going to force you to do so?"
"I'm on welfare, I don't have to pay as much for food."
"The hell do I care!" as he swings his sword at me.
I dodge the attack and with centripetal force I swing myself around and crescent kick his temples hard enough to send him crashing into other tables. The attack spawned the other's and I counter with a Sanji like kick in which I'm on my hands and kick in a circle. The following attack knocks them back which only knocks out the weaker bunch.
"This kid is fucking strong." I can hear the first guy saying as he got up.
"No shit, I'm not even at 10% yet."
"You little shit" Once again he swings his sword in the same way as last time.
I counterattack in the same way except a little extra force to make him feel it when he wakes up. "Sarah do you want me to clean this up or should I just kick them out." I hear a slight yes and I pick up three at a time and take them out of the pub.
"You need to stop creating fights everywhere you go August. Eventually you might run into someone who can give you a run for your money." I hear the bartender yell after me.
"The day I find someone who can compare to me on these four seas will be the day I die." I yell back.
I head back to my house waiting for the fight that will break out as soon as I get there. As much as I can thank my adopted father for taking me in and dealing with me for these past six years he still fights me everyday and he is an alcoholic. After he adopted me he "bought" my house and turned it into his drinking cavern. After I settled in a big argument would always break out everytime I come home from town over some random topic.
As I'm heading over the hill to our house I finally notice a large amount of smoke over my head and the smell of smoke clouds my smell. 'No one comes out here unless they are hunting. And no idiot would start a fire near a wolf infested forest.' I thought, 'It has to be at my house, that asshole would be the only one who would do such a thing.'
I arrived at my house to a massive fire covering it to the brim. I pick up my pace and run inside looking for that asshole. After looking around and seeing no one I can hear a faint laughter outside in the back yard. I head out towards the back to find a mob of pirates. The leader of the group is grabbing my adopted father by the throat and laughing.
"Oi what the hell are you doing!" I yell.
"Oh, just in time. This is your son that you are so "proud" of." I can hear the captain snicker.
"What do you want with him?"
"I'm just teaching him a lesson. He tried to get money off of us and when we threatened to kill him he responded with his son could kick our asses. So I thought we would come over and make him think about what he has done." he says to me confidently. "I think we are done here."
He turns around and waves for his comrades to follow him. After getting a few meters away he turns around and shoots my adopted dad with a drawn pistol.
"Oi! What the hell do you think you're doing." as I run over to the dying man.
"Are you alright?"
"*cough* *cough* What do you think? I'm sorry August, I just wanted to get money to help us. I got too cocky and told them that you were the strongest on the island, no the entire North Blue. I'm sorry."
"I'm a worthless parent. I don't know what I was thinking when I said I was going to take care of you. I felt maybe I could do something productive in this...world." He musters out as he dies in my arms.
I drop the corpse and as fast as I can I run to town. As soon as I get to town I can see a crowd watching a scene near the harbor.
"I WANT TO KNOW WHY MY SUBORDINATES ARE HALF DEAD!" thundered the captain. "I WANT TO KNOW THIS INSTANT."
The crowd was trembling and I knew that if I did nothing he was going to kill them all.
"I did it." I say as I walk up to the center of the town.
The captain began to laugh. "So if I got this right, a child took out almost my entire crew. Sounds logical. l want the real person who beat my crew to face me."
I can see the man who tried to fight me at the pub walk up to him and say "No captain, that is the guy who kicked our asses."
The captain snickers for a few seconds and then pulls out a pistol. "I'd prefer not to hurt a child but I guess I have to get revenge for what this child has done to my crew."
As soon as he finished his sentence I ran to him in that instant. I can hear the whole crowd gasp at how fast I moved in that time. I then spin around and roundhouse kick him into the water below the pier. "That is for all that you have done." I yell to him.
I can hear him swimming to his ship as if he was running from me. I watch over at the crew members to see what they are doing and following his actions run to there ship as if the devil was chasing them. After standing there for a moment I begin to walk over towards the ship to start the biggest fight this town will ever see. At about halfway I can hear overhead the captain yelling at this crew members to set up "that" cannon. I had no idea what he was talking about and I just continued to walk down the pier as if nothing is happening. A few moments later I can hear the captain walking towards the middle of his ship just past the main mast. All the crew members were scattering towards the hatch to the lower deck.
After about a minute you could hear gears moving and moving objects. Out from under the ship from the lower deck came a cannon. In that few seconds all I could hear and see was the blinding light that came from the cannon and a loud bang sound. In that moment of time I barely dodged the massive bullet that was shot at me. In the path was a trail of destruction. The townspeople dodged the bullet as well but in the way was just destruction. Broken houses, the pier was split in half, and everything in the way was beyond repair. I turn around and in a rage I rush the ship and with full force I punch the captain causing him to be sent 100 meters forward into the ocean. I calm down for a second and walk towards the hatch to finish the rest of the crew.
But it was too late, the cannon turned around in that time and for a second time the cannon shot at me. This time is was successful.
After what seemed like a few seconds I could feel myself flying through the air going at about 160 km/h. 'Why does stuff like this always have to end like this?' I ask myself.
A/N: Turns out there will be one more chapter of my OC's past. This chapter pretty much explained where he is from and how he got to his next island. If you like the story so far favorite and/or follow and review if you want to ask me a question or just to convey thoughts on the series. Also the first seven chapters will be released everyday and after that chapters will be uploaded anytime I feel like it but I will at least upload once a week. Peace.
