## History

### Past

#### Birth and childhood

Born in the north blue, both of Sarutobi's parents were unable to take care of him so they left him at an orphanage on **Kaishi Island**. As a child Sarutobi would often get into trouble, even so he was still loved by the caretakers at the orphanage. When Sarutobi was 6 years old **Kaishi Island** was invaded by the **Warlord Pirates**, they took over the entire island and took strong and capable soldiers and made them warriors for the pirates, however Sarutobi tried resisting and even ended up fighting and defeating a few of the pirates which interest the captain, **Holden Boyang.** He gave Sarutobi 2 options, join the Warlord pirates and he will give the island full protection, or he doesn't join and the island gets completely ravaged. Sarutobi wanted to protect everyone he cared about so he decided to join the **Warlord Pirates**.

#### Time with the Warlord Pirates

Sarutobi was an extremely skilled fighter which allowed him to move up the ranks of the crew really quickly. He became one of the strongest fighters in the crew at 10 years old, and was given an opportunity to become one of the 4 Apocalypses. He was sent to a marine base and free the prisoners to add to the numbers of the pirate crew. Sarutobi willingly accepted and completed the mission, even though he came back injured. After this incident he got his first bounty of 7,500,000 berries and he became the fourth apocalypse of the Warlord pirate, **Death**. After the mission he was also given a choice to eat a Devil Fruit if he wanted too, Sarutobi being the carefree person he is decided to eat it. He was lucky enough to get a powerful devil fruit which made him invincible to anyone who doesn't known basic Armament Haki.

When Sarutobi was 13 **Holden Boyang** created the Warlord system with the help of the World Government making him the first Warlord of the sea. Sarutobi's bounty was inactive so he decided to go back to **Kaishi Island** to see everyone. upon returning he saw how bad the living conditions of the village was and realized that **Holden** didn't keep his promise and that he stole the resources leaving the island poor. Angered by this Sarutobi decided that **Holden** shouldn't have any freedom anymore but he knew that he wasn't strong enough to defeat him, so Sarutobi secretly met up with the then captain **Ginubi** to take down **Holden**. **Ginubi** reported to the vice admiral in charge of the North Blue about the damage that **Holden** is causing to the people, so after thorough investigation it was proven that **Holden** is a threat to innocent lives and he got his Warlord title revoked and was captured by **Ginubi** and sent to **Impel Down**.

After the disbandment of the crew Sarutobi decided to head back to **Kaishi Island** and try to help everyone there.

#### Meeting Tang

While on Kaishi island Sarutobi met an old mink who had just moved there. His name was Tang and he was a former member of the **Roger Pirates.** Sarutobi was interested in the man and he started seeing him every time he could to hear his pirate stories.
