The Return Of Joyboy!

Chapter 1

Dragon was looking over the vast ocean of the Grand Line from his ship. Like the waves in the ocean, his mind was also drifting to the events which had occurred a while ago. The World Government's brutality which was hidden from the common civilians felt like a crushing weight on his shoulders and the ones who knew the truth but were almost helpless. That's why he created an organization to stop the injustice of the World Government and liberate the ones who suffer due to them.

Dragon had talked to his father, the vice admiral, Monkey D. Garp, countless times about the wrongdoings of the World Government. He had even screamed when he felt his frustration and anger getting the best of him due to his 'ignorant' father but the only thing in reply which he would get was the same words repeated over and over.

'It's my duty that I'll choose and the justice of my will that I will follow.'

Dragon knew that his father was not responsible for the events that occurred in Ohara, Flevance, Baterilla and many other places whose story is just lost in the vast world. But Dragon really couldn't find it in his heart to forgive the ones who knew the truth yet chose to be silent and turn a blind eye towards it. He hated people like that but there was also the fact that his father knew something that he didn't.

The last time he had met Roger, he had offered him protection, he had known about his incurable disease. He knew about the man's quench for adventure. He knew his love for the sea. But the man said something which left him thinking about how much he knew about the world.

'I'm not the one who will change the world. Someone will come soon, who will shake the world to its core and unravel the truth for the world to see.'

Roger had laughed it off when Dragon had asked about the Void Century, saying that the chosen one will have all the answers to his questions. Dragon refused to ask any questions further but he soon regretted when he heard about what occurred in Baterilla. He would have loved to save the unborn child from the wrath of the Navy. But all he could do was regret and feel sad when the news of women and infants getting slaughtered reached him.

Dragon looked over to the vast stretch of the ocean in front of him. The wind was howling, the full moon above him glowed like a pearl and the sea, which had been calm a few seconds ago, was now dancing as if she was celebrating something, which he didn't know about. He doesn't know what came to him that moment but he declared the heavy thoughts of his heart and the burdens that he felt on his shoulders, for the howling winds to listen. He shouted out his fury for the World Government and with each word of his, the winds and waves rampaged as if they were agreeing to his words. He ended his declaration with a vow to end the tyranny of the World Government for mother nature to hear.

But the next thing he knew was a huge wave engulfing him and his right-hand bleeding. Drops of blood from his arm were falling into the ocean, some on the railing and some on the deck near his leg. Before he could take a look at his wound, he heard the sounds of drums and the waves coming back to him to engulf him once again.

On instinct, Dragon stepped back as the waves licked the blood from the railing and the deck, leaving a baby, who was sleeping with a smile on his face. The sounds of drums were getting louder and louder with the soft melody that the winds were playing. Calm waves were dancing in the ocean and in the middle of this he saw the baby opening his eyes slowly and staring at him.

Dragon's breath was caught in his throat as he saw the baby stare directly into his eyes. It felt as if he knew, as if he was seeing through his soul.

It was a joke! It was a joke to think that the 'World's Most Wanted Criminal' was scared of a little baby, which looked too adorable! Dragon gulped when he saw the baby suddenly smile, his smile reaching his eyes, which was impossible! He would have called it creepy but the adorable squishy face had no such thing.
