Everyone has a backstory.
EVERYONE!
Even the greengrocer that somehow appears everywhere you come!
Even that guy with the beard!
Even that woman on the back!
Even that bird that just flew over!
Even the fruit you just ate!

EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

ESPECIALLY THE FRUIT!!

THAT FRUIT HAD A FAMILY

Actually, One Piece is a decoy. It's just that the Mera Mera no Mi has one hell of a backstory!
