You thought life was going by swimmingly, you had your own pirate crew, every single member swore loyalty to you till you died or were captured. You were able to beat Admiral Aokigi before he defected to Blackbeard's crew. However your life was destined to change after them two years when you received the dreadful news that the Warlords system was abolished. You looked up at your crew in horror as you saw a small ship coming towards you and it was only carrying two men. Before you knew it, your ship was split in half and your crew died before your eyes. You felt sand begin to suffocate you from the inside as you slowly fell unconscious. A hour had passed as you slowly woke up, you saw a clown's head infront of you. You easily recognised this as Buggy the Genius Jester. Beside him were the men who had assaulted you, Dracule Mihawk and Sir Crocodile. Sir Crocodile had noticed that you were awake and looked down at you with a demeaning glare and he took an extremely slow puff of his cigar before blowing the smoke into your face. As the smoke hits you, you begin to sputter due to the smoke briefly filling your airways.

Crocodile: Hmph, so the dog is finally awake. Anyways, we need someone to take the heat and brunt of the Navy's forces so your doing it. You got that weakling? You have no choice in the matter whatsoever! Obey or die.
