There once was a young man who wanted to become the Pirate King. He set off from home on his journey. On his way, he found many friend to become part of his crew and to help me achieve his dream. They entered the Grand Line and fought strongly and bravely.

Then, one day, after they had entered the New World, the not-quite-so-young man and his crew encountered another pirate ship and were attacked. Though they fought strongly and bravely and with pure hearts, they were overpowered by the other crew. To the man, they were killed in front of their captain's eyes. That day, as the other captain mocked his weakness and set him adrift in the open sea, the grief-stricken captain learned that dreams could not save a crew, only strength.
