Past
Born on Sunset Isle, Note is son to two poor civilians. At the age of six, Brandon started acting aggresive and his poor parents sent him to a trainingcamp in the woods. There he met Cheron Pilock, a five year old who always followed him around. The two partnered up and trained together. Both reaching 8 and 7 years old, the two ran away from camp and returned to their town. Commiting robberies, the two were seen as criminals and were exiled. They were sent on a fishing boat, days later arrested by Marines for flying a pirate flag. At the age of 11 and 10, they were getting ready for a double execution. Getting up the stairs, Cheron suddenly took down the guards, and took Brandon with him. The two jumped through a window. Five marines and Vice-Admiral Dalmatian stood there waiting. Cheron threw out Note and fought with the marines. Note heared the fear scream of Cheron and see blood spatters fall into the behind him. Brandon quickly ran away to the port. He saw a ship setting off. He jumped towards the anchor of a setting off ship, climbing up and getting through a hole and stayed under deck. It took six days, and he was found out. The pirates kept him, taking him to the next island. When reaching their next stop, the pirates agreed to keep him as a friend and the pirate crew headed for the Grand Line.

Entered the Grand Line: The Exiled Prisoner
The pirate crew left Brandon behind on the first island where they came. The pirates were killed by Marines in an attack and again, Note was taken prisoner. Note was thrown into the shipjail, where he met Brickar the fishman. They allied and broke out of the ship. Brickar took Note on his back towards the island where his pirateship laid. Brickar and Note drove off the coast and they headed for the next island. Then, four Marine warships took Note and Brickar head on. Brickar said his goodbyes and dove underwater. Note accepted his faith and went with the Marines.

They took Note to Impel Down, where he was sentenced to level 1. He sat out nine years, of which was all labor and pain. He broke out with the second wave of Luffy's break-out team. He and fourteen escapees took over a Marine warship and they headed for the Sabaody Archipelago. Note took notice of a setting off pirate ship. He waved for them, and they took him along to Fishman Island. The pirates and Note went for the town.

Marine Headquarters
After finally visiting Mermaid Café, the pirates and Note exit Fishman Island and safely surface above. The pirateship entered a stormy sea and they headed for Marine Headquarters. Sixteen Marine warships headed for the piratecrew. The captain gave Note a nodachi and told him to fight like he never did before. Note and four other crewmembers jumped on a warship and took out all the Marines. On crewmember took over the cannon's and shot down seven warships. The ship Note was on got hit and he and three others jumped into the sea. The captain of their ship took over another warship and Note and the three others were saved. They got onboard and Note and crew safely made it behind Marine Headquarters. Then the ship gets shot, and the boat sinks. Note and the captain are the only two to make it to another ship and they hide underneath the deck. The warship is heading for the calmer seas. When the captain notices Marines are coming down, he gives his rhinoaxe to Note and tells him everything will be alright. The captain goes upstairs, but is shot through the head and falls down the stairs. Two marines head down for the corpse, but they are beheaded by Note. He slides the three corpses underneath the stairs. Another marine comes down and sees Note. A bullet is shot in his cab, and Note falls through his knees. He throws the axe in the chest of the marine and head into the kitchen. He slices up the cook and takes the food out of the fridge, puts in a shouldbag and heads for the dead marine. He takes out the rhinoaxe and clims up deck. Five marines see him, but all of them are slaughtered by the blade of Note. Note goes to the control room and steers the ship to a nearby island.

Lunarlight Rockcrop
Note took the warship and floated his ship to the coast of Lunarlight Rockcrop. He jumped upon the sandy beach and laid down his nodachi and rhinoaxe. He took off his soaked blouse and climbed in a tree. He shook off many banana's and started eating. Once finished, he takes his weapons and blouse and starts walking into the jungle. Walking for hours, Note sees a bloodred full moon coming over him and he gets shivers down his spine. He stops and starts making a fire. He spent the night next to the fire.

Waking up, he notices his sword and axe are taken, and his wrists are caught in rope. Easily taken off, he starts looking for food. There he finds an oddly shaped fruit, purple of color and blue leafs. Note takes it with him and makes breakfast. He buries the strange fruit underneath the campfire and he goes training. He lifts trees, pulls rocks with ropes and swim big distances next to the shore. Then he sees a shade walking through the jungle. He heads back on the beach and runs towards the campfire. He sees a silhouette digging up the fruit Note kept. Note notices the rhinoaxe behind the man, which he took with him that night. Note silently gets closer and picks up his axe. He slices the man in his back, and he falls down. Note picks up his fruit and puts his axe on his back. He puts the fruit in his sash and slaps the man in his face. The man wakes up, introducing himself as Bluerow Crinq, keeper of the island. Crinq gets up and leads Note to a cave, telling Note about his life. Arriving at the cave, Crinq tells Note to give him the fruit. Note declines, and Crinq sais he won't give his sword back. Hesitantly, Note gives in and receives his sword. Crinq smirks and invites Note to sleep over in his cave. Note refuses and heads back for the campfire. The night comes over again and Note takes his time and goes to sleep.

Its midnight, and Note hears shooting. Note grabs up his swords and heads for the cave. He finds the bleeding body of Crinq. Crinq grabs him by his neck and whispers to Note that he's going to die and that the Marines are coming for his bounty. Note is exhausted and shocked, knowing he has a bounty. Marines come back from the inside of the cave, taking lots of treasure with them. Note stand up and takes his nodachi. Crinq tries to crawl away, and Note starts running to the marines. Crinq is shot in the waist and falls down. Five marines slash towards Note, which he evades and cuts the marines. He beheads another Marine and runs for Crinq. Crinq is lying dead on the floor.

A marine stabs Note in the back of his chest, and Note rolls over. The marine kicks him out of the cave and Brandon rolls down the mountain. Note remains consciouss, and hears more guns fired. He gets up and takes a look to his Devil Fruit. He starts taking bites out of it. He almost volmits, but keeps it in and runs upstairs. Unnoticed, he spreads wings and he flies for the cave. Almost crashing into the mountain wall, he lands in the cave. He turns back fully human and gets his nodachi from his back. He stabs all Marines to death, and sees the honeycomb once named Bluerow. Note dries up a tear and looks outside. It starts raining again, and the red moon lights up the sea. Three warships are heading for the island. He picked up a shovel and starts digging. Deep enough, he gets out and throws in the body of Crinq. He says his goodbyes and slides down the muddy mountain side. He runs for the campfire, and grabs his blouse. He puts his sword on his back and starts gliding with his wings over the treetops. He gets to the back of the island. He sees a small fisherboat, possesion of Crinq. Note starts rowing and get away from the Marines on the island. They yell they can't let the 175,000,000 man get away. Note's muscles give in and he falls on the floor of the boat. He falls asleep as raindrops splatter over him.

The Unknown Island: Enter Surgeon of Death!
It has been three weeks. Note lies famished inside his fisherboat. His boat start shaking, and stopped moving. He sits up, and sees his boat reached land. He fails to notice that he is alone. There's a submarine anchored on the shore next to him. Note trips over the side of his boat and crawls into the jungle in front of him. He picks some berries and apples, eating his stomach from famished to full. He looks for a place to rest, thinking to himself that he's lucky to be alive, living on a fisherboat in the New World. Trying to sleep he smells the illuminisance of food, getting up and going for a stroll on the beach. And there he sees his prey: the Heart Pirates. Yet everyone is gone, except Trafalgar Law. Law sees Note coming by, standing up and taking out his nodachi. Note tries to make him understand he's not here to fight, but his sword is clung at the first words he speak. Law grins, and jumps back, slicing horizontally. Both sides of Note's mouth are bleeding, and Note aches. He launches himself towards Law, but is stabbed in the heart. Law slowly lets Note drop to the sand, and tells him to get away when he still can. A crewmember of Law's throws Note into his fisherboat and pushes him off the shore. Note yells he'll get even with Law.

Wandering at Sea: Flower Swords!
While Note stops to try the gushing blood, he sees a big ship in the north-east. Its the Moby Dick, flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates. Note gets up of the bottom of his boat and starts waving. The Moby Dick stops his way, and waits on the deep blue sea. Vista is seen running towards the back of the ship. Note starts rowing his boat, stopping the blood with his white sash. When arriving at the Moby Dick, the ropeladder is thrown overboard. Note takes a grip and hold his heart with the other. The ladder is pulled up and Note falls on the deck. Four pirates and Vista stand around him. A pirate turns Note on his back, seeing the blood gushing out of his chest. He tells Vista he can't help him. Vista holds his head low and goes on his knees. Note opens his eyes, seeing Vista. Vista tells the others to stand back, and he lays his hand on Note's chest. A doctor runs for the two, quickly sowing the cut in his heart and the hole in his chest. Somehow, his heart keeps beating, and Vista smiles. The doctor takes the four pirates with him, and Vista carries Note to his bedroom. Note falls asleep on a hammock, Vista taking his nodachi and rhinoaxe. He pulls off Note's blouse and sash, covering him up with sheets.

Note's eyes open, full of pain and agony. His scar is coloring black, and he is surprised. He tries to get up but he his hammock makes a flip of 180 degrees and he falls on his back. Note gets up and walks slowly towards the door, but the door slams his way. He is pushed toward the bathroom, where he sees his face. He has small cuts in his cheeks, sown together. He sees his scar in the mirror, blackening his chest. Right underneath his tattoo he has a memory of Law. Vista walks in, seeing Note. He puts his hand on his shoulder and promises Note that he'll make him better. Note smirks.
