(No one's POV) 

It was a normal day at water seven, or at least how normal it could get. The Franky family was trying to kill pirates for bounties, people were riding on Yagaras in the canals and the shipwrights were beating up some rude pirates. However in a certain back alley was a skinny, homeless 13 year old boy. That boy was called (Y/N) and was looking for any type of food he could find. (Y/N) had lost both of his parents a few years ago due to an illness and due to him not having any relatives, he had to fend for himself on the streets alone. (Y/N) wandered around one of the ship decks looking for food, and as he was walking something caught his eye. He noticed that behind the fighting pirates and shipwrights was a case. Inside that case was a weird avocado like fruit with swirly lines on it. (Y/N) didn't know what type of fruit that was but knew it would provide his some sustenance. He knew that this was the only time he could get it since the pirates were distracted and weren't paying attention to the weird fruit. In a gleam of hope, (Y/N) sprinted as fast as he can towards the fruit. He was able to get there without anyone noticing and now just had to get away with it. He noticed a small mouse like hall under the fence leading to the outside so he went under it and started running away from the ship deck. 

After running for a few minutes, (Y/N) walked into another back alley and started panting as he sat down with the fruit still in his hands. 'What is this thing?' Thought the homeless teenager as he took a bite out of it. He almost spit it out because of how bad it tasted but swallowed it with struggle. He coughed a few times as he tried to forget about how bad it tasted. Unknown to (Y/N), the thing he just ate was none other than the Burēdo Burēdo No Mi, the devil fruit that allows you to grow and extract any blade or sharp weapon from your skin. 'That was horrendous, but I have to eat anything if I want to survive.' Thought (Y/N) as he slowly started eating the rest of the fruit.

(Y/N) POV 

As I was walking down the street, I noticed that a weird tall man in a black coat and had a fedora hat had following me for the last few minutes. I walked into an alley to see if he was following me or not, and to confront him if he was. Sure enough, when I walked into the alley he followed me in there and pushed me onto the wall before I could react. "Give me all your money. NOW!" Yelled the man as he put his hand on my shoulder and started applying pressure and pushing me into the wall. 'If only I had a knife.' I thought as I started wondering if my life was gonna be over since I didn't have any money to give him. Suddenly the man jumped back in pain and held his hand as it bled. I looked over to my shoulder and noticed a knife immerging from my skin, however it had the man's blood on it and was still connected to my skin and looked like it could go back in and looked like it had never happened. 

I didn't have any time to think about what just happened, what I had to do was escape this situation. I pulled the knife out of my shoulder and was surprised that it didn't hurt. I quickly ran at the man as I was strongly clutching the knife with both of my hands to the point where the handle started to break. As I was running at the man I jumped up at the man stabbed him through the heart and knocking him down onto the ground.

As the man was falling to the ground his blood spluttered onto me from the stab wound. I stood still in my place as I looked at the man's lifeless body and then I slowly converted my gaze onto my shaking hands which were covered in the man's blood. "I just killed someone..." I shakingly said as I slowly stretched my head up and was now staring at the night sky. "I'm sorry mother and father..." I muttered as I looked back down on the ground and wiped the blood of my hands with my shirt. I started walking away from the lifeless body which still ha the knife in it. As I was walking I only had one thought on my mind, how did the knife come out of my shoulder?

Timeskip 1 week

I was currently walking down the street with an emotionless look on my face. It has been one week since I killed that man and I wasn't quite over it just yet. I had kind of started to understand my new power which I learned that I had gotten the powers from a devil fruit thanks to the devil fruit books in the library. I was currently looking for some money and saw a man with blue hair and two women with square shaped black hair walking next to him. I saw him holding a briefcase which I could only assume was filled with cash. 

(Franky POV) 

"I can't believe Tamagon was actually able to get 10 million Beli!" Exclaimed Mozu happily as she was walking next to me along with Kiwi. "Yeah same he- HEY COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT!" I yelled as a skinny young boy with ragged and red stained clothes stole the briefcase, which had the money in it, and then started running away with it. I turned to him and launched my arm at him to try and catch him and then retract my arm using the chains.

However what happened next shocked Mozu, Kiwi and I. He had grown a knife out of his shoulder, pulled it out and then threw it at the chain. The knife caught into the chain and pulled my arm down as it fell down. "WHAT?!" I yelled out in shock and anger as the kid ran away and my arm retracted back in place as Kiwi had taken the knife away from the chain and then threw it away.

"Damn it! I'm going to get that brat!" I yelled out as I jumped up high and onto multiple buildings to get a better view and try to find him. Eventually I was able to see him running towards a well enough built and small wooden hut. I smiled as I launched myself over there by exerting cola from my hands. As he was about to enter I smashed through the building with a smirk on my face. As the dust cleared I saw a leg being sent towards my face in an attempt to kick me. I caught the leg with my hand and started slowly started slowly squeezing it to teach him a lesson about stealing from us. However I sensed a knife coming out of his leg I let go of his leg and swept his leg making him fall back. However he did caught himself on one of his hands and spun on it in yet another attempt to kick me.

I jumped up to avoid his kicks and punched one of his legs while landing to make him lose balance. I picked up by his collar and smirked yet again. "You're a good fighter. You're joining the Franky family." I said as I carried him over my shoulder and picked up the money. "I'm not interested and put me down." He said sounding annoyed. "Not your choice." I said as I laughed and carried him back to the Franky House. "Welcome to your new home." I said proudly but ended up only getting a groan in respone.

Timeskip 10 years

(Y/N) POV

It has been 10 years since I had joined the Franky family and I was now 23 and Franky's right hand man. I was wearing a black medical like mask along with white gloves to keep all the germs away from my face and hands. I looked in the telescope as I was standing on the crescent of the  Franky house. I was able to see a ship with what looked like a sheep head for a figure head and a jolly roger wearing a strawhat for a flag. "The strawhat pirates..." I muttered as I got off the roof so that I could warn Franky.
