Chapter 1 – Will of D!?
"WAHOO!"
"Finally an island in sight!" Yells Sul after spending nearly two days at sea, without any food or water. Drifting closer and closer to the island, he feels his stomach growl. "Next time, I'll be sure to pack a little something to eat, hehehe."
He retrieves his wallet from a pocket, and opens it, making a face when he finds himself staring into a plain old empty wallet. "Boy... now that I think about it maybe I should have brought some money with me."
He lands on the shore with a smile, and begins walking away from his raft. Suddenly, a shadow leaps from atop the nearby cliff into the water. Sul watches the surface of the water closely, trying to find out who, or what, could even do that. After a while, he sees nothing, and so continues his walk towards town. "Alrighty! I need a few supplies if I want to get to Grand line! First, I'll need a flag!"
Suddenly, a yell erupts from a nearby house!
"HELP! Please! Somebody!"
It's the cry of a woman in her late 40's. Sul quickly gathers himself and rushes into the home from which the call originates.
"What's going on here?!" Shouts Sul as he spots the woman being threatened by a pirate with a sword at her neck.
"Well, well, look what we have here... a lost little boy. Why don't you go home, son, before I cut you, too?"
"No way! I won't let you take innocent lives! Your kind is an insult to all pirates!"
"Is that so, sonny? I'm gonna count to 3, if your still here by then, it's bye-bye for you…one…two—"
At the moment the unknown pirate finishes saying two, Sul punches him square in the face and yells "I told you! STOP HURTING HER!"
"Hahahahahahahaha, looks like I have myself a wild one," says the pirate as he picks himself up. "Time to tame him." The pirate proceeds to slash viciously at Sul, who dodges the strike.
The he then elbows the teen in the chest, knocking him to the floor. He takes full advantage of the situation and begins to obsessively kick Sul with his boot. Sul loses consciousness during the assault.
"Well, seems your not much of a fighter, eh kid? I'll spare ye for now, but if we ever cross paths again you're MINE!" the pirate gloats, taking off.
A few hours later, Sul awakens in the old lady's home…
"HEY! Where'd that pirate go, Obaasan?" Sul asks of the old woman when he wakes.
"Oh... Baka child!" says the old lady as she hits him in the head with a rolling pin. "He left after nearly killing you!"
Sul began thinking. If I can't even beat him... how can I last in Grand line? I need to get stronger!
"HEY! Obaasan!" he yells.
"I'm not an Obaasan! CHILD!" shouts the old lady as she hits him with the rolling pin again.
"Whatever... Do you know where I can get stronger?" asks Sul
"Stronger, eh? Well there is one way... but you'll need to find THAT girl." says the woman
"Who might THAT GIRL be ma'am?" inquires Sul
"She's a demonic girl with red hair, about your age. She lives in the forest just east of here, and at times people see her talking to trees in the forest or diving into the ocean from the high cliffs!" explains the lady.
"Her! I saw her when I arrived! Though I couldn't tell if it was a person at the speed she fell from the cliffs."
"Well, if you really want to get stronger, you'll want to meet her."
"Awesome! I'll go right now! Thanks Obaasan!" Yells Sul as he runs out of the house.
"I'm not an Obaasan!" the lady shrieks, holding her rolling pin in the air.
About a half hour later at the eastern forest...
"HEY! NEESAN! COME OUT HERE!" Shouts Sul, trying to get the girl's attention without success.
"COME ON, I NEED YOUR HELP TO GET STRONGER!" Tries Sul once more.
Still no reply.
"FINE THEN! I HAVE WAYS OF GETTING YOU OUT, HEHEHE!" Threatens Sul as he pulls out a matchbook. He proceeds to attempt to light a match.
Suddenly a voice comes from all sides…
"Don't you dare light that match!" From the left and "This forest is willing to fight back!" from the right. Out of nowhere a branch hits Sul, causing him to fall onto his back and sending the unlit match flying away from him.
"W-whoa! A m-moving forest!" Stutters Sul. "That's... so... AWESOME!"
The wood from a tree begins to take the form of a girl. The girl walks up to the match, picks it up, examines it and says: "This match... it's soaked... you never had the intention of burning anything, did you?" she questions.
"Nope!" he grins, before frowning. "In retrospect it was quite stupid to bring matches and no food on my raft..."
"Hihihi, you Baka," laughs the girl.
"Well, now that we're off on the right foot, I was told you could teach me to be strong!"
"Is that what the villagers told you?"
"Yup! and from the looks of it they were right! How did you come out of the wood? Can you teach me how please!" begs Sul as he gets up.
"It isn't something you can learn..."
"Oh, sorry I wasn't listening…by the way I'm Sul, Sul D. Furous."
"You have he will of D!?"
"Eh?"
What is the mysterious Will of D? Why does this boy carry the same initial as the legendary pirate and the well known Strawhat Captain, Monkey D. Luffy!?
