#v18.

this is in essence a sub-verse of the general pirate verse, refer to this post for details on the broad strokes as they’re mostly the same in both verses.

the broad strokes being  :     

satoshi grew up in a landlocked town but helped his mama run an inn & heard stories about pirates from travelers (among them pirates, former crew, sailors).     

doesn’t have lofty title goals, became a pirate for the adventure of it all & cause problems on purpose, & if he happens to make a name for himself then he’ll take that in stride same as everything else.     sends much of the coin he’s earned back to his mama by people that owe him favors.     he knows if they’ve kept the money for themselves.

has a body count by age 12, & at 14 gets elected captain by the crew he was part of upon losing their former captain.

only not dead 50 times over because a goddess took one look at him stepping foot on his first ship aged 10, barely 11, & decided this one is never going to die at sea.     & so he hasn’t.     not that anyone knows that’s why, they just think he’s stupid lucky   ( which he is ) ,  or, in the case of 1piece, a devil fruit user   ( which he is not ) .

has had a fistfight with nearly every creature that has tried attacking the ships he’s been on.     it’s stunts like that that convinced his first few captains not to drop the 10-13yo off at the nearest port town.

most of the crews he’s been a part of have fallen apart after about a year & far from where he first joined them, so the first time he returned home was 9 years after the fact.

has been building a new crew, having permanently “borrowed” a ship from the navy   ( which he renamed fushichou ) ,  under the name of the phoenix pirates.

part of his current attire was also permanently “borrowed” from a navy, though satoshi can’t for the life of him recall which fleet, a blood-red coat, with a matching hat.

has a ryukyu mouse on him at all times that has refused to die in the past decade & has no plans on dying any time soon.     also has a jackal at his side, the best reflector of satoshi’s mood  ;     usually people understand what it means when he’s smiling but his jackal looks ready to maul them any second.

1piece specifics  :

has an instinctively easy time using observational haki but first started actively trying to train armament, only fairly recently training both in tandem.

one of fhe few non-marine captains that’s gotten his crew across the calm belt.     there was a lot of stubbornness & fighting involved, but no casualties.

currently sailing the new world, mostly letting the unpredictable winds & currents guide their journey.
