Drake wakes up in a confined space half confused and half panicked, he finds the box he's in rocking as if on sea and feels like puking, but is stopped by the box being lifted with sunshine impairing his vision suddenly, the sunshine is blocked out by a handsome man, with strangely natural red hair, a stubble in the shape of a goatee, and three distinct scars across his left eye, I try to speak, but all I can muster is a high pitched Gaaaaaah, the man puckers his lips as if to express shock, then turns and says, 'HEY GUYS, GET OVER HERE LOOK WHAT I FOUND!' A man with straight shoulder length blond hair, and an unnaturally large man in a white and green t-shirt and bandanna with a comically large piece of meat in his hand appear behind the man with red hair which I presume to be Shanks, the other two are Yasopp and Lucky Roux, I reach out and grab Shank's nose with my tiny hand and smile all subconsciously, Gaaaaah, I let another one out, tears form in the corners of their eyes, I didn't actually mean to do that but damn I must be cute! They all let out exaggerated cries and tears stream from their eyes like a waterfall, as if it was a cartoon.
[Eight Years Later]
'I'M GONNA BE THE PIRATE KING!!!' 'Okay Luffy you can calm down of course you are, no point in just yelling about it.' 'Huh, Ban you don't wanna be the Pirate King too?' 'No no, my dream ain't that, if the Pirate King is the Most Free Man, then I wanna be the strongest man, the idea of it is so cool, just riding around with my small crew, but still have the ability to in-still fear in those who see me, thats why I think Dracule Mihawk is so cool!' Ban says not trying to hide his fanboying in the least. Suddenly theres the sound of wood breaking, and a large man with an X scar carved onto his forehead enters the bar, with a posse of smiling bandits behind him, 'Got any Booze?' The Man asks. The anime makes them look dumb but damn do they look utterly retarded grinning ear to ear so overzealously, it's like they forget they're standing in the back. 'No we just ran out of it, sorry buddy. I got this one bottle you can have I don't mind it!' Shanks says enthusiastically. The pirate scoffs at him and proceeded to smash the Bottle, Booze landing all of Shank's shoddily put together clothing, 'You think just one bottle can satisfy me? Pathetic.' As the man walks out showing his back to us, I now see why Luffy was so enraged. I could not let this happen, I couldn't let this man embarrass someone who I consider a father so easily, I sneakily grab a knife off the kitchen counter while everyone is focused on Shanks, I run towards the man swiftly and stab him in the calf, he lets out a pathetic scared whimper, the type you'd hear from a dog, I jump from the side of the kneeling man punching him in the face, while he lays on the floor keeling over I jab him in the throat, not too hard but with my middle fingers knuckle just hard enough for him to struggle for breath and leave him there to compose himself, the pathetic shell of a pirate proceeds to loose consciousness. If you're wondering why I didn't kill the shallow sod, is because I know Shanks, he wouldn't allow me to kill an already beaten and defencelessness man, hell Shanks doesn't even fight much in the first place! The mangy grinning dogs were far gone by the time they saw me stab the pirate, but the room was left with an abrupt silence, before letting out into a hearty cheer from all of Shank's crew at once, the only thing I did focus on, was Luffy's look of admiration he fumbles to grab something as his eyes were fixated on the wonderful scene in front of him, he finally gets a hold of something and munches onto it, he didn't know he just needed something anything to eat in order to savour this moment, I look over to the strange fruit Luffy eats and even he's brought out of his trance after realising how utterly disgusting this thing was trying to cough up the already eaten food, whole bar looks over to him and their eyes practically jump out of their sockets, LUFFY!
