Intro:
Oi, it's Trafalgar D. Water Law here, the surgeon of death and captain of the Heart Pirates. Today, I want to talk about something that has been on my mind for a while now - pride and competitiveness. As pirates sailing in the treacherous seas, we are constantly faced with challenges and rivals who push us to our limits. But it is this very competition that fuels our growth and shapes us into formidable fighters.
The Thrill of Rivalry
There's nothing quite like facing off against fellow infamous pirates from the Worst Generation. From Monkey D. Luffy to Eustass Kid, these guys are not just your average rookies; they possess immense power and determination just like me. Whenever I stand next to them on Sabaody Archipelago or any other battlegrounds, an undeniable sense of pride wells up within me.
A Bold Attitude
I've always had a bold attitude when confronting my peers because I refuse to back down or be intimidated by anyone in this vast sea called Grand Line! Remember when you saw me casually ask X Drake how many people he had slain? It wasn't meant as small talk; rather, it was a way for me to assert myself among this fierce group of individuals.
Childish Competitiveness
Now let's talk about competitiveness – something that runs deep within my veins alongside my desire for revenge against Donquixote Doflamingo! When surrounded by strong-willed rivals like Luffy and Kid, there is an unspoken challenge amongst us all – who will rise above the rest?
Smirks & Provoke Tactics
You see if things go according to plan or if I manage to provoke an enemy successfully (which happens more often than not), you'll catch a rare glimpse of smirk gracing these usually stoic features... much akin to that time at Dressrosa where I outmaneuvered Doflamingo and his goons. It's moments like these that make me feel a sense of accomplishment and pride.
The Bread Conundrum
Now, here comes the odd one out – bread. Yes, you read it right! I hate bread with a passion! Call it a quirk or an eccentricity, but there's just something about the taste and texture of bread that doesn't sit well with me. Maybe it stems from some childhood trauma involving stale loaves or perhaps my taste buds are just wired differently... who knows?
A Toast to Competitors
But back to our main topic - competitiveness. It is this drive to be better than those around us that pushes us forward in our quest for power and recognition on the treacherous seas we call home as pirates.
A Rivalry Like No Other
When Luffy first burst onto the scene at Sabaody Archipelago, he challenged us all by declaring his intention to become King of Pirates. Such audacity fueled my own competitive spirit; after all, no one would dare claim such a lofty title without facing fierce opposition from people like Kid and myself!
Smiling Defiance & Gestures
I can recall vividly how I couldn't help but smile defiantly when gesturing towards Eustass Kid during our encounter at Sabaody Archipelago. This guy had quite the reputation for killing people left and right over even minor reasons! But did it deter me? Not at all! If anything, it only stoked my competitive fire further.
Prideful Pirate Surgeon
Pride is not always seen as an admirable trait among pirates – they tend to favor brute strength over cunning intellect (which was evident in their initial dismissive attitude towards me). Yet despite this prejudice against surgeons like myself who rely on strategic planning rather than brawn alone...I take immense pride in my abilities, and it only adds to the competitive fire that burns within me.
Conclusion
In conclusion, as a member of the Worst Generation and captain of the Heart Pirates, I take great pride in my skills and am fiercely competitive when faced with fellow notorious pirates. The thrill of rivalry fuels my drive for power and recognition on these treacherous seas we call home. And while bread may be an odd quirk I possess, it doesn't deter me from focusing on what truly matters – pushing myself to be better than those around me.
So here's a toast to all competitors out there: keep challenging yourselves, never back down from a fight, and let your undying pride guide you towards greatness!
