(Dawn Island- East Blue)

In the dead of night, all was quiet in the forest outside of Fuschia village, nothing except the insects made a noise-.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

-And the terrified screams of a young child, yeah. Completely normal. A seven year old child was sprinting through the forest, running away from a small pack of wolves. The child had raven colored hair, dark colored irises, and a frantic expression on his childish face. His shirt was in rags hanging off of his body, so no use describing them, he also had on a pair of tattered shorts, and open-toed sandals.

Luffy was in the forest because his grandfather threw him in here alone...again.

‘I gotta find a place to get rid of these god damn wolves.’ Luffy thought, he’s been running for at least 10 minutes from the canines behind him, he needed shelter. As if to answer his prayers, he suddenly stumbled into a clearing with an incredibly large tree in the center, it looked like an oak tree, it was about 20 meters tall with a 10 meter wide trunk. From what Luffy could tell there was a hole that looked large enough to fit him within the tree.

Without a second thought, he pushed his burning, sore legs even more to get him to the tree, feeling his lungs burn more from exertion, not forgetting about the barking and growling wolves behind him. In less than 15 seconds he made it into the tree hole successfully with a bounding leap and scurrying up the rest of the way, getting the wolves off of his tail. Heh, get it? You know ‘cause the wolves- and the- yeah, okay? Okay, back to the story.

Luffy was on his back huffing and puffing, gulping in mouthfuls of precious oxygen, trying to regain his breath, and famished. Deciding to see if he was lucky enough to find a single morsel of food, he looked over to his left, and, as if Lady Luck was on his side today, he saw an entire fruit, but it was strange.

The strange fruit was a light blue color, shaped like a pear covered what looked like teardrop shaped lumps that had swirls on them with a green curled stem coming out of the top of it. ‘Even though it looks weird, gotta eat to survive.’  With that final thought in mind, he took the fruit and took huge munches out of the fruit, getting past the bitter taste, and swallowing it down.

After a few moments of devouring the fruit, he felt something weird with his arm, like something slightly chilly, he looked down and saw it was frozen. ‘Wait, frozen?’ Indeed, his arm was covered in ice, from the front of his fist to his elbow.

“AHHHHH, GET IT OFF!!! GET IT OFF!!!!” Luffy started freaking out before noticing his arm didn’t feel stiff or cold at all, it actually felt completely normal except for the slight chill on it, he focused on turning his arm back to normal, and it worked. His arm was as fleshy as he remembered it, concentrating on his arm again, he turned it back to ice, seeing and feeling it work, he smirked.

“Things are gonna get really interesting from now on.” feeling the day’s exhaustion crash into him, he froze the inside of the trunk, not feeling comfortable unless he did, and settled his head on the wood of the trunk burrow thing and embraced the peacefulness of sleep.
