There is a town nestled in the northern mountians. Protected by large looming hills and a cold brisk sea. The city is filled with rats and merchants, royalty and commoners. The name of this dark mystery filled town is Windhelm.
...
"Hey!"
The fat ugly merchant yelled startling other shoppers in the outdoor marketplace. "Get back here, scum!" He yelled once again.
At this point the other commoners were looking around trying to find the source of the mans anger. The were rewarded almost immediatly when a peasent yelled back at the fat man.
"Gotta catch me first old man!"
Ah yes. This is obviously where we meet Luffy.
Luffy turned away from the steeming merchant in favoring of hi-tailing out of the merchants view. Of course not without kocking over a bread stand first.
Laughing apologeticly (not really) Luffy grabbed a loaf of bread and ran off.
We find Luffy a few alleys away breathing heavily, realing on a brick wall to hold him up.
"Whew that one was kinda close." Luffy said brethly.
Luffy looked down at his stomach with lidded eyes. How long had it been sence he had eaten? three days? Four? He had lost count. Without bothering to savor his apple and bread he immediatly scarfed both down in a heartbeat.
"Ahh, that's better." Luffy smiled softly.
"mrrrmmmm"
Luffy's smile was lost as his stomach growled. Taking his arm and lifting up his shirt, Luffy felt his stomach. He sighed. Ribs. No meat, no fat, just pure bone. Luffy cringed slightly. He was getting skinnier and skinnier by the second it seemed. That was to be excpected though. He was nothing more then a homeless peasent.
Sighing soflty once again, Luffy pressed off the alley walls and started walking out to the many streets of Windhelm.
He looked up. Dark clouds and seagulls filled the sky. Buildings loomed over the looked down to see his bloodied feet in mud on the rocks on the street. "hmm, maybe I should steal some shoes next..." Luffy thought outloud.
It was true, about the only thing Luffy was good at was stealing and running away from Windhelm Gaurds. That was his life.
Steal, run, steal some more, run some more. It was a painful, loneley cycle. Luffy thought dryly as he continued walking towards the slums of Windhelm.
"Thats all there is to my life, isnt it..."
Luffy stopped in front of many dark, wet alleys. 'Home.' He thought to himself.
Luffy chuckled darkly.
'Home.'
