Somewhere in the East Blue, we see a random ship out at sea

(A bunch of overlapping voices muffle each other out until...)

Unknown Voice: QUIET! (A dark skinned male with long black hair slams his gauntlet into his chair)

(Everyone looks in shock)

Pirate A: S-Sorry Captain Grover!

Grover: I get it, we just sank a pirate ship and grabbed a shit ton of loot! But... we still have to be on our guard, remember, that Bounty Hunter Latrell could show up any minute to collect my 9 Million Beri Bounty. Now, Janitor! Go check our loot for anything of value!

Pirate B: Yes Captain! (A blue eyed brown haired averagely tall male awkwardly runs into the ship's cabin)

Grover: Hmm... you two! Go make sure he doesn't screw anything up like he always does.

Pirate C and D: Aye aye Captain!


Pirate B: I don't need you three watching over me you know

Pirate C: Oh come on Mark, you and I both know that you'll just accidentally drop some loot out into the ocean or something

Mark: J-Just shut up!

(Suddenly, a yawn is heard)

Pirate D: Hey, did you yawn?

Pirate C: No, what about you Mark?

Mark: No, not at all

(A box on Mark's right suddenly bursts open and a averagely tall looking teenage male with messy black hair wearing an orange open shirt and black shorts with a black cloth tied to his right bicep comes out the box)

TBD: Ahh! That was a good nap!

Pirate C: W-What?! Mark! What did you do?!

Mark: N-Nothing, I swear!

Pirate D: Don't lie! You're always screwing up! You're done for you scrub!

TBD: Hey... why are you picking on this kid? He didn't do anything!

Mark: I'm 19!

TBD: Yeah, yeah, anywho, that isn't really cool to blame him for something that isn't his fault. Do you guys know where an exit is by the way?

Pirate C: You're not getting away! (Charges at the guy)

TBD: (Dodges a punch thrown at him and delivers a right hook sending the assailant into a wall and knocking him out)

Pirate D: You're gonna pay for that! (Charges at the guy)

TBD: (Jumps and kicks the other pirate in the face, knocking him out)

Mark: D-Don't hurt me!

TBD: Huh? Why would I do that?

Mark: W-Well, you just knocked out those two with one attack each

TBD: Well, those guys were jerks, you seem nice

Mark: Thanks, you seem nice too, what's your name?

TBD: I'm Speedy D. Sire! Those guys said your name was Marble, right?

Mark: It's Mark!

Sire: (Chuckles) Alright Mark, nice to meet you! (Grins)

Mark: Likewise, what were you doing in that box anyway?

Sire: Ehh, funny story


We cut to about 6 hours ago, with Sire on a crappy makeshift raft

Sire: Man! I'm hungry, I really should've brought some food with me

(Just then, Sire sees a pirate ship)

Sire: Sweet! They've gotta have some food! (Rows his raft up to the ship)

Pirate E: Hey Boss! There's a kid on a raft approaching us!

Pirate Captain: Meh, he poses no threat, leave him be, one he sees the size of our crew, he'll turn around

Sire: (Jumps from his raft onto the ship) Hey! You got any food?

Pirate Captain: Get off my ship!

Sire: So you don't have food? Fine, at least let me ride with you to the next island, I'm tired and need some place to sleep

Pirate Captain: You aren't even scared of us? We're pirates you know

Sire: Well, I'm a pirate too! In fact, I'm gonna be King of the Pirates one day! I just started my journey today!

Pirate Captain: (Laughs) I like your spunk kid! Alright, I'll let you sail with us to the next island, go find somewhere to sleep

Sire: Thanks! (Runs into the ship cabin)

Pirate F: That was real nice of you Captain

Pirate Captain: Let the kid dream, seems like his future is bright, I wanna see how far he'll go.


Sire: Ahh, where to sleep? (Sees an open box) That works! (Jumps into the box and starts to sleep)


Back to the Present

Sire: Next thing I know, I woke up here

Mark: Are you even human?

Sire: Yeah, last I checked

Mark: Sleeping in that box must've been uncomfortable huh?

Sire: Nah, not really

Mark: Wait, did you say you wanna be King of the Pirates?

Sire: Yeah! It's my dream! You've got a dream too, right?

Mark: Uhh

Sire: Don't be shy!

Mark: No, it's dumb

Sire: No dream is dumb! C'mon, I'm curious!

Mark: Fine! I wanna become a Vice Admiral for the Marines!

Sire: Hmm...

Mark: See? I knew it was dumb!

Sire: (Chuckles) No! I think that's cool!

Mark: Really?

Sire: Yeah! Wait... Vice Admiral is good... right?

Mark: Yeah, one of the best positions in the Marines!

Sire: Well, if you wanna be a Marine, why are you on a pirate ship?

Mark: Well, I'm kinda forced to be here by Captain Grover

Sire: Why?

Mark: I was out on sea on my way to Shells Town and I was found by them, and I was forced to be a janitor or they'd kill me...

Sire: Hmm, well sounds like you're in a real pickle

Mark: Yeah, I guess

Sire: Hey, where's that Pirate Captain that saved me? Is he around here?

Mark: Uhh... we kinda sunk his ship...

Sire: Why?! He was nice!

Mark: I didn't have anything to do with it! It was Captain Grover who commanded his men to do it!

Sire: Where's this Grover?! I'll kick his ass!

Mark: Keep your voice down! He'll hear you!

Sire: Good! I'm hungry, and this Grover guy is just asking for an ass beating! (Storms out of the room and starts to walk down the hallway)

Mark: (Follows him) Listen, you don't know what you're getting into! Captain Grover is amazingly strong! He has a 9 Million Beri Bounty!

Sire: Listen Mark, sometimes in life, you just gotta take a risk, and I don't care how strong this Grove Tree Guy is, he hurt my friend, and he's gonna pay (Cracks knuckles)

Mark: You're gonna get killed!

Sire: (Comes out of the hallway and appears on the deck of the ship) Hey Grove Tree! I'm gonna kick your ass!

Grover: Huh?

Mark: Get back in here!

Grover: Mark! How dare you team up with a Bounty Hunter like Latrell against me?!

Sire: Latrell? Who's that?

Grover: Huh? So you aren't Latrell?

Sire: No!

Grover: So you're a little twerp who's just too cocky? It'll be easy to crush you. Get him!

(A few pirates charge at Sire)

Sire: (Charges in and punches all of them one by one knocking them out)

Grover: (Growls) Mark! You're gonna die you little traitor! What do you have to say for yourself?!

Mark: I... I...

Sire: C'mon! Out with it already!

Mark: I'm gonna be a Vice Admiral for the Marines! No matter what!

...

Grover: (Laughs loudly) You?! A Vice Admiral?! Don't make me laugh!

Sire: (Tightly clenches his fist)

Mark: (Looks down sadly)

Grover: (Continues laughing)

Sire: (Runs and jumps at Grover) A real man...

Grover: Huh?

Sire: (Delivers a strong right hook to Grover's face) DOESN'T MAKE FUN OF ANOTHER MAN'S DREAM!

Grover: (Falls over and holds the part of his face where he got punched) YOU LITTLE BRAT! YOU'RE DEAD! (Runs up to Sire and tries to punch him with his gauntlet)

Sire: (Catches the gauntlet)

Grover: What?!

Sire: (Chuckles) Time for a swim! (Throws Grover by his gauntlet into the sea)

(Grover hits the water)

Mark: Sire! That was amazing!

Sire: (Chuckles) It was nothing!

Mark: C'mon, let's grab a rowboat and get outta here!

Sire: Alright!

Grover: (Pops his head out of the water and spits out some water) I'll get you for this!


Around 20 minutes later, with Sire and Mark on their rowboat sailing away

Sire: So... who's that Latrell guy Grove Tree was talking about back there?


(A black silhouette of a male with an above average build with messy hair carrying a sword on the left of his waist is shown)

Mark: He's a well-known Bounty Hunter in the East Blue... he carries a legendary sword with him... he's dangerous too, if you really wanna be King of the Pirates, stay away from him, he'll cut down any Pirate with a Bounty on their head, he was last reported to be seen somewhere near Shells Town, which is actually where we're headed now, since it's the closest island from here


Sire: Woah... I think I have a plan

Mark: What is it?

Sire: I'm gonna pick up my first crewmate in Shells Town

Mark: Oh, cool, I hope you find who you're looking for

Sire: From what you're telling me, he shouldn't be too hard to find (Grins)

Mark: Wait... don't tell me-

Sire: Yep! I'm gonna get Latrell to join my crew!

Mark: Do you have a death wish?! He'll slice you the second he finds out you're a pirate!

Sire: Don't worry, I'll get him to join my crew! It'll be easy!


To Be Continued!
