Trash

After my little marine adventure with Garp which ended with me stealing a canoe after I ate and sailing off into my adventure! I must say I was pretty shocked about Garp. The guy was just so weird, and there's no way he didn't notice me leave. My eyes miss nothing, and I could tell as soon as I laid my eyes on him. He was in a whole other weight class than me. Comparing me to him would be like putting an amateur 115 pound boxer against Jon Jones in a cage.

It just... Excited me so much. To become the king of the pirates, I would have to face people as strong if not stronger than him. So, I had officially decided.

I was going to be the strongest!

...

I had arrived at the nearest island with nothing but the clothes on my back and some blacked out sunglasses I stole from some random marine.

First things first, I needed to get myself some crewmates. Every pirate in the world needed crewmates to conquer the grand line, and I didn't plan on being the exception.

As I stepped on to the dock I noticed the ground was covered in sand. Winds blew in in 30mph and dust was constantly everywhere. Grabbing the cloth I had used to cover my eyes with before I wrapped it around my face to stop myself from breathing in the intensely dust wind.

"Well Looks like I just have to get lucky and find the city." Trudging up the sandy hill from the dirty dock, I pushed through the harsh climate in hops for any signs of life.

It must've been at least 4 hours of walking, and I haven't found any signs of life. Water. Oooh Water would be so good right now.

Dragging my feet through the sand I could feel the intense heat pouring down on me. Shit, I probably should've took some food with me from the ship. Finally stepping past the little hill I had been trekking through I saw it.

A big dump? Well it looked almost like a landfill of trash but there where buildings of various size, with some humongous towers in the closer you get to the core of the city. On the outer edges of the city, mounds of trash up to 15 meters high with dirty paths between them where filled with people.

"Oh well this doesn't look shady at all." Sliding down the steep hill and into the outer dumps of the city, a thick musky odor hit me. It smelt similar to a wet street dog, and that was being generous. Entering the pathway I grabbed a raggedy black hat and covered my hair.

Although I appreciated my silky white hair I doubt the obviously poverty ridden denizens of this dump would. Looking around I could tell there where 2 types of people the shady people trying to act innocent, and the shady people who weren't trying to hide it.

"Get away from my cart!"

Looking towards the noise a mob of what looked like bandits had shoved an old man to a ground while grabbing his big dunlap sack off a cart he had been wheeling around. The surronding onlookers simply walked by as if it was a common occurence. Well, I'm not a hero but this does Look like a perfect oppurtinity to get some answers.

"Lets go boys looks we scored big!" The 4 masked men starting to run off with the bag of unknown good when they where seemingly intercepted by a man with a black cap with there entire face covered with sunglasses and cloth.

"Hey kid, get the fuck out of our way unless you want some bad things happening."

"GAXAHAXAHAH! That was the most cliche thing you could say dude. Like you realize thats literally what everyone says right before they get beat up.

Angered by his provocations the angry thug launched forward running at him with his fist drawn back.

"I'll show you the power of my might you Hidden bastard!" Launching his fist at the masked man he hit nothing. BAM! Being launched into a mound of trash blood poured out of his nose as he was knocked out completely.

"So uhh. Do you guys still wanna fight?" Dropping the knapsack the nameless losers ran off never to be seen again.

Grabbing the knapsack the masked man walked to the old man who was singing his praises.

"Oh thank you Kind sir! You truly are a hero. I am so thankful!"

"For what? I didn't say i was gonna give your bag back. I mean not unless you wanna buy it back from me."

The old mans kind smile turned into stone as the obvious fakeness in his sincerity wore off.

"What do you want you little shit? Just when I thought I finally met good people out here."

"Three things. Tell me where we are, where I can find the strongest person around this dump, and some food."
