Francis

History
Francis was born on an island where the rich lived over the poor. Francis was born poor, but he loved watching the rich and happy people go about their days living their lives, and envied them greatly. The young Shai would do anything to try and elevate his status, starting with sneaking into theatres and art galleries, and moving on to robbing people of their money. Eventually he stole a devil fruit from a merchant, hoping to sell it for a lot of money himself, but was caught by the merchant’s guards. He chose to eat the fruit rather then return it, and was mortified by how it tasted. The enraged merchant took Francis and sold him as a slave to an underground fighting arena. Francis had to learn fast in the arena, as if you lost and by some miracle were spared, you were fed to the owner’s pet Sea King. Francis wasn’t particularly strong at first, and took to using his wit to defeat opponent after opponent, slowly building up enough money to buy his freedom. After he earnt his freedom, Francis took up being a bounty hunter until he had enough money to retire to a life of luxury. But shockingly, after having everything he had ever wanted, Francis wasn’t satisfied. His life felt empty without the thrill of battle he had unwillingly become addicted to.
