East Blue( Ocean)

A young man basks in the breathtaking views of the serene ocean as his small boat drifts effortlessly along the coastline. He stands at 6 feet 2 inches tall, with spiky black hair, piercing dark eyes, and a captivating expression that hints at both charm and confidence.

Dressed in an unbuttoned red shirt that flutters in the breeze, he pairs it stylishly with blue pants and a vibrant yellow sash belt, embodying a spirit of adventure and vitality.

He is Monkey D. Luffy, born into a world dominated by pirates and marines wielding remarkable powers. This tale began with the demise of one man, legendary for having seized all that the world had to offer. Known as the King of the Pirates, he bore the name Gold D. Roger.

Seventeen years ago, he met his fate in a public execution witnessed by thousands. Yet, it was his final words that ignited a spark within countless young men and women, propelling them to embrace the call of the sea and embark on quests for the legendary One Piece treasure.

My wealth and treasures? If you desire them, they are yours for the taking! Seek them out! I left everything behind at that place!" Roger proclaimed, releasing his final breath as he departed the realm of the living.

Luffy murmured to himself, "I must locate a town to resupply before I start my search for crew mates." Suddenly, as if guided by an unseen force, the boat surged forward with surprising speed.

Shells Town located in small island.

Two figures step off a humble boat. One is a young man, a sword nonchalantly hanging at his right hip. Beside him stands a fourteen-year-old boy, with glasses perched on his nose, his distinct, vibrant pink hair catching the light.

"Zoro is likely being held somewhere within the base," the boy remarked.

"No rush. We'll search for him once we've had a bite to eat," said the young man, his stomach rumbling audibly.

The locals, catching snippets of their conversation, exchanged furtive glances and hushed whispers. Luffy strolled through the streets, seemingly unaffected by their reactions, as if they were mere figments of his imagination. Meanwhile, the boy watched with a perplexed expression, unsure of what to make of the scene unfolding before him.

Moments later

A young woman greeted them, her smile warm despite the fatigue etched on her features. "Welcome! What can I get for you today?"

As Luffy and Koby stepped into the bar, Luffy couldn't help but notice the dark circles under her eyes and the tension that marred her expression.

"May we have some food and drink, please?" Luffy asked, his grin brightening the Bar as he looked back at her.

I gather you're a newcomer? I strongly recommend you leave at the earliest opportunity, sir," she urged, her voice quavering, inciting raised eyebrows of curiosity among her listeners.

Just as the boy with pink hair opened his mouth to ask a question, a deafening bang resonated from behind the door. Heavy panting filled the air, and a wide-eyed little girl rushed into the bar, her expression a mix of fear and urgency.

"What's troubling you, Rika? Where have you been?" her mother inquired, concern etched on her face.

"Mom, I just wanted to give Mr. Zoro the rice ball I made, but Helmeppo ordered the soldiers to kill me for trying to feed him. I ran as fast as I could!" Her voice trembled, tears welling in her eyes. Rika's words left the pink-haired boy stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief.
