One Piece Begining Journey

There is some story about Ruffy journey, i hope u can enjoy with this story about One Piece:


The story starts with the background of little Ruffy and Shanks (later we all know he's a pretty famous pirate).
A pretty touching story when Shanks goes to save Ruffy's life in the ocean exchanging his own arm, since Ruffy can't swin due
to his just-acquired devil's fruit power. I didn't cry... I think, but I was touched. The maturity of Shanks and his experience being a pirate, are all already shown in the start (the fight with the thieve, the lack of concern with the lost arm).
After this, Ruffy realize his own lack of strengh and decide to become a pirate with his own fists (he wanted to leave with
the Shanks's crew).
After this, Ruffy grows up and goes to the sea for the One Piece and so started the whole plot of the manga.
I must say that OP makes me laugh a lot and cry a lot, just everything together!
Well, go on... when Zoro is introduced, I knew he would be in the crew, specially because I`ve seen things from One Piece before...but no matter. I don't really think I cried in his story, but it's a really nice one... note for Kuina girl which really inspires me, since she's a girl with a "man's ambition". And Zoro is definitely someone like Ruffy, both are stupids and really strong.
They later found their third member, Nami, a woman (oh, Ruffy's first friend actually was Coby... who said goodbye in the island where they found Zoro). Her hability is stealing and being smart, really smart. Her story only shows up much later, but we do have a preview that she hates pirates (but seeing Ruffy's act in Buggy's arc, she changes her heart and goes with them).
Usopp and Sanji are the next crew's members, for Usopp I really didn't see it coming, never thought he would be part of the crew, I thought that he was so weak and his only hability was lying and maybe a good shooter (a hability he isn't really aware of), so it was a surprise for me, but I came to like him and can't see the Mugiwara's crew without him. As for Sanji, he's a funny man, and completes the trio of attack along with Zoro and Ruffy, as Nami and Usopp are in the back support. Both stories, I cried, but don't feel like reading again, I don't know... it's sad (specially Sanji's) and it's tiring, oh and Usopp's story is a nice twist of the "Lying wolf"'s tale.
Status 'til now, Ruffy defeated two big captain pirates and Zoro met Mihawk, who defeated him, but caught Mihawk's attention for Zoro's ambition and vow to the Captain Ruffy.
Before I talk about the last arc of the first part, I must say that if you haven't been infatuated by OP, you'll be now after Nami's story, which is in Arlong's arc. The biggest arc 'til now and with the first formation of the Mugiwara crew.
First impressions of the arc: I've cried a lot and in a lot of moments and Ruffy never had been, until now, more captain than here. Since the beginning when he asks the others that he doesn't want any other navigator than her, when he doesn't want to know the motives that makes Nami hates pirates, when he doesn't believe in her words when she demands him to leave the island to the end, when he tells everyone to "let's go" (to kick Arlong's butt), when he punches Arlongs saying that no one makes his navigator cry and finally when he won the battle and says to Nami that she's their nakama. The whole arc envolves everyone of the crew, Nami's past and family, the whole town and finishes brilhant this first part.
The next part is the Grand Line, because since Ruffy received a bounty, they must hurry and go to where all the great pirates are, last note for this part, but very important, is the last island where the greatest pirate was executed, and my first time seeing good and strong Marines, not so much for Tashigi since she lost to Zoro, but anyway... Smoke is pretty much a pirate/marine...hahaha

And we sure get an idea that something huge is about to happen, from the talks of mysterious people...such as Dragon...and Smoke.... (arigatou:lainlang.livejournal.com)
