East Blue___
The weather was really pleasant, sunny with few clouds in the sky and refreshing wind.
A wooden barrel floated on the sea, heading to wherever the waves took it.
Soon it came near a traveling ship, where two sailors sat on the railing.
"Look! What's that?"
The sailor with a beard pointed towards the barrel that came and struck on the ship.
"Let's check it out."
The other one suggested, then the two lined the wooden barrel on the ship's deck.
"It's really heavy!"
As the two sailors brought the barrel up, the bearded sailor gasped for breath.
"How the hell do you satisfy your wife with that weak body?"
The other one mocked as he looked at the bearded sailor and sighed.
"Let me handle mine, you see yours!"
Grunted the bearded sailor, then the two took the barrel to the ship's kitchen.
As the ship sailed, not far from it was a little smaller pirate ship that followed behind.
"Hahha! Looks like we are gonna have a party!"
The pirates on the deck laughed in a mischievous way, some even licking their blades.
"Coby! Why are you tense?"
A very tall man came walking next to a little boy, he looked intimidating in every way.
"I-I am not! I am just very happy that we can have a party!"
The boy named Coby replied, gulping in some of his saliva and looking up at the man's face.
His appearance was a small, timid, chubby boy with pink hair and round-frame glasses.
"That's better! Now go clean the deck!"
The man ordered as he went back inside the ship for his personal work while leaving the boy alone.
'I am really tired of this!'
Coby thought as he mopped the deck, he clenched his left fist and looked towards the traveling ship.
'But only if I could escape.'
Lowering his head, Coby returned back to cleaning the deck as the tall man ordered.

On the traveling ship, the man sitting on the top of the main mast saw the pirate ship.
"Pirates! Pirates!"
He shouted, alarming the entire ship and the people on it. Be it the sailors, clients, travelers, guests or the ship captain.
"Hurry! We must get away!"
The captain commanded the sailors to increase the ship's speed but the wind was not that fast.
And, the pirate ship coming also had paddles to sail faster than any normal ship powered by wind.
"Alvida Pirates! It's the Alvida Pirates!"
The man on the top of the main mast shouted, he was scared as he saw the pirate flag.
Inside the traveling ship, in the hall. The people were frightened by the word "pirate".
Except one person, and it was a "She". The slim young woman of average height with orange hair and brown eyes. Most people consider her to be very attractive or even beautiful.
But behind everyone's back, she was a completely different person.
"Pirates? Hehe, today's my lucky day!"
The woman hid her smiling face from other's sight, very quickly calming herself.
Her face now replaced by a very scared and teary expression, she ran and hugged a handsome tall man.
"Sir! I don't want to die! I am still young and pure!"
The man, stunned by the young woman's beauty, shook his head and nodded.
"Don't worry lady, I definitely won't let anyone touch you! Let those pirates come, I will beat the shit out of them!"
The handsome man declared, he hugged back the young woman and showed a satisfied face.
*Boom!*
The door to the Hall was blasted off, dust and smoke came in.
"Cough! Cough! Who is it!"
The ship's captain was also present among the people in the Hall, he shouted towards the door.
"Haha! Surrender or die!"
Soon, multiple pirates of different heights came rushing in and surrounding the people in the hall.
"Don't kill us! We will surrender!"
The handsome man was the first person to let out the cry, he crouched down raising his hands in the air.
The young woman seeing this, was not particularly surprised but still showed a frown on her face.
All the people got down on their knees or butts, they lowered their heads to not look at the pirates.
"Good! Now give us all your belongings!"
The tall pirate from before, came forward and kicked the handsome man.

Kitchen___
Coby slowly entered inside, asking whether someone was in or not.
"Fuu, looks like no one is here."
Wiping off the sweat on his forehead, Coby walked around the kitchen and picked up a red fruit.
"What's inside?"
Eating the fruit, Coby came next to the wooden barrels placed together and beat them lightly with his knuckles.
"Hey, Coby! What are you doing here!"
Suddenly, from behind Coby. Two muscular men with average height came in.
"I was just looking around!"
Coby replied, a little intimidated by the muscular men, he stepped on the side for them to pass.
"It seems like a liqueur! Open it!"
Both of the two men grinned, they brought the barrel and were about to open it.
"Wooo Huuu!"
The barrel was torn apart from the inside, and a young man came out like a ghost.
His two fists caught the faces of the two men knocking them out cold on the floor.
"Aaa!"
Coby was shocked as he fell on his butt, his face staring at the young man.
"Food!"
The young man picked up a piece of meat from the table and bit it in half.
"Y-You! Do you know what you did!"
Coby pointed his finger on the young man and said with his tone a little scared.
"Coby? Are you here?"
Some voices were heard from outside the kitchen, and Coby started sweating profusely.
"You need to run! Or they will catch you and take you to Alvida!"
Coby was panicking in front of the young man while the latter was confused.
"In the storage room!"
Coby took the young man to the storage room and locked the room from inside.
"Haa! You wouldn't want to see Alvida."
Coby sighed, but when he turned back what he saw was that the young man had torn a jute sack and took out the fruits.
"Nom Nom Nom"
He ate them like he was dying from hunger, he didn't even care about the presence of Coby.
"Well it's really bad to stay together with that fat woman. By the way, my name is Coby. What's your name?"
Asked Coby, he glanced at the young man and saw him say things with the fruit still in his mouth.
"First you eat the fruit in your mouth then talk!"
Coby shook his head, he was really surprised by how much the young man could eat.
"I am Luffy! The man who will become the pirate king!"
