{One Piece} The apprentice's Apprentice

Shanks and Buggy have been the only apprentice's aboard the Oro Jackson in the Last Decade, one could argue they were the first and las apprentice's. But even a children under the tutelage of the greatest pirate crew around were still just that, children. And children were curious, it was this curiosity that led Shanks and Buggy to the back of traveling circus in hopes of having a glimpse of what the backstage would be like.

However instead of getting the VIP experience they experience, the apprentice's would discover something that would change not only their life but those around them. It was on that fated night that the two teens found themselves an apprentice and it was up to them to guide them to success and to protect them. They swore they would protect their apprentice with their lives no matter what happened.

That is how the child who had only known pain and fear became the Apprentice's apprentice.
