Nine Tails

Chapter 4

-Luffy-

Hundreds of years ago, during the great age of piracy, men were real men, women were real women, and small furry creatures from who knows where were real small furry creatures from who knows where. Things were truly great. But no matter how powerful or wealthy anyone became they always wanted more. Namely, the great pirate treasure Known only as ONE PIECE. You see, once you get this treasure you are crowned king of the pirates and achieve wealth and power above all others.

Over the years only a few have ever gained this title. The most famous of them was a man named Gold D. Rogers. He was the first ever to gain the title of pirate king by finding ONE PIECE. After him was a man called Monkey D. Luffy. Although he was a pirate, Luffy hated seeing others treated unfairly and would do anything to protect his nakama (friends). During hid life Luffy traveled from island to island with his crew, ridding different places of whatever threat was there.

Luffy’s most commonly noticed feature was his straw hat that you could always find him wearing. He also had the ability to stretch his body to any length. He contracted this ability by accidentally eating a “devils fruit” when he was a young boy. While this dose give him a large amount of power it also takes away his ability to swim, something almost essential when you want to be a pirate.

But even his many talents were not able to help him when he was confronted by White Beard the Pirate for the title of pirate king. By the end of the battle, Luffy had lost his life and White Beard was barely alive. After his death, Luffy’s crew disbanded but still kept as close as they could to one and other.

Although it is said that he died on that day, Word spread of a group of people traveling the lands ands seas. And some say, That Monkey D. Luffy has returned to claim his rightful place as king of the pirates.
