[Nine Years Later]
After getting off the ship, I ate the devil fruit I stole and started living like nomads. I never stayed on an island for too long, I became a sailor, a thief, and an astrologist. I didn't have money, I didn't want to work for humans and stay in their houses, so I stole, and my devil fruit powers helped. I still wore the cloak, I don't know why, but the cloak seemed to adjust its own size according to my height, so I never changed it. Sleeping in trees helped me to look at the stars better. My mother told me that if I ever miss her or feel sad and lonely, I should look up at the sky, because no matter if it's day or night, she'll always be a star watching over me. That's why I started to learn astrology, it reminded me of my mom, she was the only one who loved and cared about me.

"A navy base huh..." I murmured to myself while looking around the island. "Looks like I gotta be careful here."
I left the dock and walked inside a bar. On the last island, I saw someone rich, he was hitting a child, so I stole all his money. Now I can get myself a drink and relax a bit.
"Welcome, what do you need?" A young lady smiled
"Uh... Just get me some beer I guess." I sat down
"Ok, coming right up."
After a while, a girl came in running and crying.
"What happened honey?" The young lady ran to her and asked her worriedly, "Did you get caught?"
The girl nodded, "They stepped on my rice balls and threw me out." She hiccuped
Excuse me? Stepping on a young girl's food and threw her out? What's with humans bullying kids?? I looked at the girl, "Who did that?"
"T-the navy commander's son."
"Come with me." I put the money for the beer on the desk and walked out with the girl following me. The navy commander's son? Tsk, another spoilt kid. I walked straight to the base. "Why were you in a navy base?" I asked
"Because... because I made rice balls for the mister."
"The mister?"
She nodded, "The mister agreed to be outside and not eat anything for 30 days. I wanted to make something for him."
"Why would he agree to that?"
"I don't know, but he must've had his own reasons!"
We were in front of a wall of the base.
"The mister is on the other side of this wall, he has short green hair."
"Alright kid, thanks for leading the way, you can head back now." I looked at her
"Are you sure about this Miss? Please be careful..."
"Of course," I said before I took a few steps back and ran on the wall using my powers.
There was a pink-haired kid trying to untie the ropes of a green-haired man. Green-haired man? I thought. Roronoa Zoro? So that's... woah... uh... alright. But I have no intentions of helping him. My only mission was to beat up the spoilt kid. I jumped down to the ground.
"Ah, it sure is a fun day today." I sighed and walked towards the two. "Do you know where the navy commender's son is?" I asked
"Ah... He's probably in the building somewhere, but why do you want to find him?" The pink-haired boy asked
"I came to beat him up."
"W-WHAT??"
"He stepped on the girl's rice balls and threw her outside right?"
"Y-yes but-"
"Alright, so I came to beat him up."
"Tsk, do you know who you're fighting?" Roronoa spoke, "You'll turn the whole navy base into your enemy."
"And? People are helping you too."
He remained silent, until the navy soldiers showed up, with a big man in the back.
"Who's that," I asked
"T-that's the navy commander, Morgan!" The pink-haired boy trembled in fear
"He's ugly," I commented.
"Ahhh! don't say that you're gonna make him mad, why do I keep meeting people like this." He cried, "First is Luffy-san, and now you."
"Luffy-san..?" I questioned, "Monkey D. Luffy?"
"You know Luffy-san?"
"Nope, I don't know him."
"We sure have a lot of guests today huh," Morgan spoke
"Yeah, I guess.." I replied
"Don't talk to me like we're friends!" He seemed mad
"Okay damn, calm down."
"I'll forgive you because you're gonna die now."
"No."
"Fire, especially at the girl with a cloak!" He gritted his teeth
The soldiers prepared to shoot. "Oops, this isn't good." I could easily escape the bullets, but the boy and Roronoa...
"Gomu gomu no..." I faintly hear something from the building, "ROCKET" what.
In a blink of an eye, a boy stood in front of us and took the bullets. I wasn't shocked or surprised because I know bullets don't work on him. He was
"LUFFY-SAN!!" The boy shouted, I looked back, both of them were surprised.
"That doesn't work!" Luffy said as he bounced back the bullets.
It seems like he took back Roronoa's swords, but Morgan swung his ax hand towards us. We have to untie Roronoa. I thought before I dash towards him and untyed him as fast as I could.
CLASH
The sound of steel meeting steel.
"Whoo, that's cool~" Me and Luffy both said
"You were fast, but who are you?" He asked
"I came to beat up his son, and I ate the speed-speed fruit, so I'm fast," I said, pointing at Morgan.
"Oh" He formed his mouth into an '0' shape, "My name's Luffy, I'm a rubber person, nice to meet 'cha." He smiled "His name is Coby, he wants to be a marine admiral." Luffy pointed at the pink-haired boy.
"Oi Luffy-san... this isn't the time for talking..." Coby murmured
"Ah, you're right."

Luffy and Roronoa were dealing with Morgan, and I just watched, "How weak, the marines." I mumbled to myself
"OI OI, DON'T MOVE A MUSCLE IF YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO GET SHOT!"
I looked back, it was a blonde boy with a suit, pointing a gun at Coby.
"Who's that," I asked.
"It's the son," Luffy replied.
"Ah, then leave him to me. I wanted to beat him up." I smirked
"Oi, d-don't move! I'm going to shoOt his hEad oFf." His voice cracked multiple times as he trembled in fear.
I dashed in front of him and gave him a good punch on his face. It seems like he hasn't even noticed how I got in front of him.
"Wh-wha-"
"Guns ain't for threatening people, kid." I picked up his gun and threw it towards the main building. "You bullied that girl didn't you?"
"I-I'm sorry! Forgive me." There were tears and snot on his face. I frowned.
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to the girl." I turned around at the sound of cheering. The Morgan dude was taken out, and the soldiers are cheering. I can get why they're cheering though, Morgan wasn't a good leader, and he wasn't a good father either.
