Ch-1: The Beginning
''[The scene opens on a massive, snowy mountain. The camera slowly zooms forward, as a child's small cries are heard, but the source is not seen. Finally, the camera jumps to a boy with wild sakura hair, slowly pulling himself up the mountain. Cut in close to the boy.]''

Boy: Come on... come on! I have to make it! [Stumbles slightly, then begins pushing himself up]

'''Deep Voice. '''Well, what is this?

''[The boy looks up, to see a giant, hulking figure, wearing a marine's jacket, with a massive white mustouche. Scene fades.]''

Whitebeard's Voice: You can call me Jiichan... when you've become a Pirate God like me.

''[Scene fades in to a bustiling port city, with brightly colored shops lining the streets, dozens of Marine and pirate ships docked. A small tugboat limps its way into the harbor. When it reaches the shore, an adult version of that boy drops out, this time wearing a black vest with orange trim, white shorts, black sandals, and a scarf. The boy pulls himself up slowly.]''

Boy: Food... need food..... [A small tide grabs one of his feet, slowly pulling him back to sea] C-crap... [Is pulled under, right as a fishing lowers down into the section of water he is in]

''[Cuts to a large pirate ship, painted a garish orange, with red streaks. The words 'Zero Emperor Pirates #13' are written on the side. Several pirates gather around a chain, slowly yanking it up. One of them, a pale, bullish man, is hauling the chain.]''

Pirate 1: Come on, Monkey Punch, you can get that!

Bullish Man (Monkey Punch): Shaddup. If da marines catch us, we're toast. You know that. [Grunts slightly] 'Tis heavier than usual, dthough.

''[They finally succeed in pulling up the anchor, though the boy is wrapped around it, snoring. He opens his eyes slightly as the pirates gape at him]''

Boy: Who the hell are you guys?

Pirate 2: He's a spy! Put him in the briodge!

Pirate 1:  How could a skinny little runt like that be a spy? He's not even a pirate!

Pirate 2: I'm tellin' ya, the boy's a spy! He could be after Morrigan-sama!

Monkey Punch: I'll take 'em to the brig. ''[Seizes the boy and walks past the other pirates, reaching a small trapdoor. Flipping it open, he drops the boy inside like a sack of potatoes.]''

Boy: Hey, hey! Is this how you treat visitors?! I demand a reading of my rights! I demand- [Trapdoor is slammed shut.]

''[The boy sighs, wiping his forhead, and droping into the corner, scowling slightly. Several minutes pass, as he stares somewhat reflectively at the walls. Suddenly, a hidden door near his left foot pops open, and a head pops out. A teenage girl, with long black hair with a short ponytail in the back, wearing star-embroidered armwarmers, pulls herself up, then stops when she sees the boy.]''

Girl: What the-? Who the hell are you?
