Before the rise of Gol D. Roger, adventurers, common folk, and pirates alike set sail for the West Blue Sea. A gold rush had been called, the isles beckoning with wealth. A great wave of people settled into the West Blue.

You are one of those people. You are Mint E. Julep, named after your father's favorite mixed drink. You were barely a toddler when you traveled to the West with your mother and father.

Your home isle of Azure Springs has become a ghost town after the gold dried up. But you still had to pay off the debt to the Rubyport Trading Company for bringing you and your family to the West Blue.

Your mother died working in the mines, and your father skipped town, abandoning you. You've worked years to finish the agreed upon debt your whole family accrued, under the Company viceroy who owns Azure Springs.

But those years are nearly over as you reach womanhood. It's been hard here in Azure Springs, yet you look back on the good times you had growing up and those people who helped out along the way…

What is your dream (and who inspired it)?

>A) Become a notorious pirate! (Medusa Z. Gorgo)
>B) Become the queen of the merchants! (Luna B. Goode)
>C) Become a Marine Admiral! (Vice Admiral Highwaystar)
>D) Become the greatest… swordsman, cook, archaeologist, gunslinger… Write-in! (Your mother, Mint E. Sprig)
