Prompt: “Falling"

There once was a young man who wanted to become the Pirate King. He set off from home on his journey. On his way, he found many friend to become part of his crew and to help me achieve his dream. They entered the Grand Line and fought strongly and bravely.

Then, one day, after they had entered the New World, the not-quite-so-young man and his crew encountered another pirate ship and were attacked. Though they fought strongly and bravely and with pure hearts, they were overpowered by the other crew. To the man, they were killed in front of their captain’s eyes. That day, as the other captain mocked his weakness and set him adrift in the open sea, the grief-stricken captain learned that dreams could not save a crew, only strength.

Very nice. You tend to forget characters like that could have a past, or a turning point - might have actually been a nice guy at some point (I doubt donflamingo was ever a nice guy, though... just sayin') Nice shift in perspective. ^_^

Thanks! I think Crocodile might have started out good and idealistic but the Grand Line beat it out of him... until Luffy beat a little back in to him.
