Voyage Of Dreams

001 ~ Saying Goodbye To Windmill Village
''The sun began to rise as people gathered at the sores of Windmill Village. A young man was preparing to set sail towards the Grand Line, in hopes he becomes the world's greatest pirate...''

David: Slight breeze, beautiful day... Perfect weather to set sail!

An old man walked up to the young man's ship.

Slap: I just wanted to wish you good luck, David! I bet you'll surely make a splash at the Grand Line!

David: I wouldn't want anything else, Mayor!

A young woman ran up next to Mayor Slap, looking like a nervous wreck.

Makino: Do you have everything, David? Fresh clothes, enough food?

David leaned over the side of the ship.

David: I have everything, Makino. I checked 5 times. I'll be fine! You really shouldn't worry so much!

Makino sighed and put her hands on her hips.

Makino: Fine, fine... I remember when you were just a little kid hanging on my shirt, and now you're setting off on your own!

She started getting teary-eyed.

David: Makino, don't be like this...

Makino: Goodbye, David!

She ran away in tears as the Mayor & David continued.

Slap: I'm deeply sorry that your mother didn't come to see you off, David.

David: It's okay. I wouldn't expect nothing less from her. She hates the idea of me becoming a pirate! Not as much as my father, though...

Mayor Slap chuckled.

Slap: I suppose so! Well... I guess this is it! You better get going before someone else finds the One Piece!

David: Right!

''David released the sails and set course for the next island as he waved back to Windmill Village, which was getting smaller & smaller as he got closer & closer to his dream. Back at the Village, Mayor Slap & Makino were talking as the crowd slowly scattered...''

Makino: He reminds me so much of Luffy...

Slap: Same here...

On board the Lucky Seven, David's ship, days later...

David: Looks like that's Cocoa Village of the Konomi Islands! The perfect plact to recruit my first crew member!

David docked at the shores of Coca Village, and seemed to immediately draw a crowd...

Nojiko: A pirate? Been a long time since we've had one of those around here...

A teenage girl immediately ran up to David.

Jadus: Oh! Are you a pirate!?

David was surprised.

David: Um... yes... Is that bad?

Jadus: No, it's great! I've always wanted to meet a pirate! Well, besides Nami!

David: Nami? The navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates?

Jadus: You know her?

David: Well, no.. But, her captain, Luffy D. Monkey, is my idol! My dream is to one day become as great as him & then to surpass him by reaching the legendary One Piece!

Jadus: Pretty big talk for a rookie pirate!

David: Wanna join my crew?

Jadus' eyes lit up.

Jadus: Sure!

A young woman walked up to the duo.

Nojiko: Well, well...

David: Hm?

Nojiko: Looks like you didn't waste time, Jadus!

Jadus: Well, why would I? It's always been my dream to be as great as Nami!

Nojiko: Yes, I know. You've only talked about it atleast... every day!

Nojiko & Jadus laughed together.

David: But, there's just one problem. Um, Jadus? Is it? You have to be able to fight in my crew!

Jadus: No problem!

Jadus pulled out a colorful fan & motioned the crowd away so there was more room.

Jadus: Let's spar!

David: Hm... I like your guts!

David's snake tattoo began to slither around his arm.

Nojiko: Hm?

David: I ate the Ink-Ink Fruit, so I can make any of my tattoos come to life!

Jadus: Cool! I may not have a Devil Fruit, but I'm perfectly able of fighting! See this?

She pointed to her fan.

Jadus: This is the Clima-Fan! My own invention, inspired by Nami's Clima-Tac of course!
