"Now be careful Dante." My Father said handing me his precious sword.
"Yes sensei." I said bowing down and receiving it. I was at the age when a man must go on his own. My sensei was Zoro, Master Swordsman of the Grand Line. I was adopted by him when he found me stealing bread in our village. He trained me to become strong and now at 19 I had to go one my own. I was strong and able to fend for myself now. I was traveling by foot till I hit the sea and then I was off on a merchant ship to Traders Island. I walked away from Sensei and never looked back. That was the rule for any swordsman. Keep your honor and never look back. I was remembering everything that had happen to lead to this day.

I was eating the bread I had stolen very greedily and that's when a great man walked up to me. He was muscular and looked like a very serious man.
"Follow me." He said gruffly.
To scared to argue I did. It took a few hours to reach what I would call my new home, though I didn't know it at the time. When we reached the place my eyes widen. It was so beautiful yet simple. It was a dojo like style house with nothing but forest surrounding it and that is what made it so beautiful, and still is.
"What's your name" the man said gruffly.
"D-Dante sir" I managed to choke out. I have to admit he was scary looking, three swords at his side and the greatest swordsman in the grand line. I was 12 and from there on I went through the hardest training I will ever go through. There were days I could not eat because I failed at whatever task he gave me, I hated it first but then came to love it. When I ate, I ate well because he had a big appetite as well and when I rested I was relaxed instead of the tense I usually was. That all brought me to this day

As I walked women swooned at my toned body. I flexed a muscle or two for them and they cooed and watched, the men bowing their heads at my new found respect and I had to make one stop before going on. I knocked on the door of the love of my life's house. Her father answered with a gruff look.
"What do you want?" he said. Her father was a tall black haired man with a cigar in his mouth
"Is Destiny home sir?"
Right as I asked that she appeared in the door way.
"Dante!" She shouted barging through her father and jumping into my arms. I caught her in a hug and spun her around once before gently setting her down. I looked at her with a sad smile. She immediately caught on.
"What's wrong?" She asked frowning.
"I must go."
"What?! Why?! Where to?!" She asked all at once.
I kissed her cheek.
"I don't know yet." I said and kissed her softly. It was a wonderful feeling that only lasted a few seconds and I pulled away from her lips and from her. My deep Blue eyes filled with sadness when she looked away from me. I ran my fingers through my dark brown hair.
"I guess this is good-bye." She said quietly. I turned away from her.
"Indeed…it is." I said just as quietly, and that was the end. I walked away feeling a rock in the pit of my stomach but it was something that had to be done. I headed off towards the coast without looking back.
