Series Title: The Rogue Star

Episode 1: “Flames, Wings, and Roots”

The sun blazed high in the sky, golden rays pouring over the grassy hills where three boys were chasing each other, laughing, yelling, and tumbling in the dirt. One of them, with messy black hair and a scar under his left eye, darted behind a rock.

Kai: “You’ll never catch me, Ace!”

Ace (grinning): “You wish! You’re too slow!”

Sabo (laughing): “Slow? He outran you five times today already!”

The three of them – Kai, Ace, and Sabo – weren’t bound by blood, but they were brothers in every way that counted. Life wasn’t easy, but moments like this made it worth it.

Suddenly, a booming voice shattered the peaceful moment.

???: “ACE! KAI! OVER HERE! TRAINING TIME!”

The boys froze. Sabo’s face dropped.

Ace (groaning): “Ugh… it’s him again.”

A tall, gruff man with a thick white beard, stern eyes, and a Marine coat slung over one shoulder stood nearby. This was their grandfather – Vice Admiral Garros, a legendary Marine officer.

Garros (arms crossed): “No more running around like wild dogs. If you two ever want to become real men, you’ll train. Now.”

He stomped over and hoisted Kai and Ace by the collars of their shirts, one in each arm.

Kai (struggling): “W-Wait! What about Sabo?!”

Garros: “He’s too soft. Let him watch if he wants to.”

Sabo watched, his fists clenched. Alone. Again.

But as the other two were dragged off, something caught Sabo’s eye – a broken metal pipe lying by the tree. He walked over, picked it up, and stared at it. Then, with quiet fury, he began striking the tree.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal against bark echoed through the woods.

Meanwhile, Garros had Kai and Ace running laps, doing pushups, and practicing combat forms.

Garros: “You boys could be legends. You’ve got the blood for it – even if it ain’t mine. Now drop and give me fifty!”

Ace (panting): “Why do you care so much about Marines?!”

Garros (stern): “Because only the strong survive in this world. The World Government keeps the peace. You’ll thank me someday.”

Kai: “I don’t want to be a Marine. I want to be free.”

Garros ignored him and barked more commands.

Back at the house, a woman stepped outside, eyes fierce with worry. Her name was Amara, the boys’ adoptive mother. She had flowing black hair and a serene but powerful presence. She sensed trouble.

Amara: “Garros! WHAT do you think you’re doing?!”

Garros (turning): “Training them. They’ll never reach their potential with you babying them.”

Amara’s eyes glowed. She raised her hands and activated her Flower-Flower Devil Fruit power. Thick roots burst from the ground like vines, wrapping around Garros’s arms and legs, pinning him to the spot.

Garros: “Tch—still using your cursed fruit powers, huh?”

Amara (furious): “You don’t get to force them. They are not yours to control!”

She marched over and pulled Kai and Ace away, dragging them toward the house.

Kai (worried): “Wait—where’s Sabo?”

Amara’s heart skipped a beat.

Amara: “...Sabo?!”

She turned, eyes scanning the woods. Then another voice came from behind her.

???: “I’ll find him.”

A tall, lean man stepped forward. His name was Rek, a close family friend and a Devil Fruit user himself. Without another word, his body shimmered and morphed into a majestic giant bird – a hawk.

With a cry, Rek launched into the sky.

From above, Rek scanned the trees. It didn’t take long.

Down below, he spotted a small figure—Sabo—swinging a pipe over and over against a tree, face streaked with sweat and frustration.

Rek (thinking): He’s got the fire too… maybe more than the others.

With a flap of his massive wings, Rek swooped down and shifted into a powerful eagle, grabbing Sabo gently with his talons and lifting him into the air.

Sabo (shouting): “HEY! Let me go!!”

Rek (in eagle voice): “Calm down, kid. We’re taking you home.”

Back at the house, Amara hugged Sabo tightly as soon as Rek landed and shifted back into his human form.

Amara (softly): “I’m sorry… I should’ve protected you too.”

Sabo (quietly): “I don’t need protecting… I’ll get strong too. My way.”

Garros, still wrapped in roots, just smirked.

Garros: “You’ll thank me one day. All of you.”

Kai stood beside his brothers, eyes fierce.

Kai: “No, old man. We’ll carve our own path… and no one’s gonna stop us.”

Episode 2: “Brothers of Fire and Steel”

[Scene opens early morning]

The forest was still, dew clinging to the leaves. Birds chirped softly. But somewhere deeper in the woods…

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sabo was back at the tree, pipe in hand, sweat on his brow, striking harder and faster than before.

Kai (walking up): “You’re going to break your hands before you break that tree.”

Sabo (gritting his teeth): “Then I’ll just use my teeth.”

Kai chuckled a little but his eyes were serious. He stepped beside him and pulled out a wooden stick.

Kai: “Then let’s both break something.”

The two began sparring—pipe versus stick—laughing, yelling, falling, rising again. This wasn’t just training. It was brotherhood.

Back at the house...

Amara stirred a boiling pot while talking with Rek, who was sitting cross-legged on the table.

Amara: “They’re too young for this, Rek. Garros doesn’t understand.”

Rek: “He’s a soldier. To him, strength is everything.”

Amara: “They need more than strength. They need heart. Vision. Dreams.”

Rek looked out the window, where Ace was climbing a tree barefoot.

Rek (softly): “And all three of them have fire inside them… Especially Kai.”

[Training field – later that afternoon]

Garros stood at the same field, arms crossed, waiting. His shirt off, body scarred from years of battles.

Garros: “Where are those brats?”

Just then, Ace and Kai walked in, covered in dirt and sweat.

Ace: “We’re not here because of you. We’re here because we chose to be.”

Garros (grinning): “That’s all I ask. Let’s begin.”

For the next few hours, he drilled them hard—stamina, discipline, technique. But he started to notice something...

Garros (thinking): Kai’s different. He’s… adaptive. Calm under pressure. Fierce when he strikes.

At one point, Garros lunged fast and strong—too strong for a kid—but Kai dodged and spun, using his momentum to knock Garros slightly off balance.

Garros (smirking): “Hmph. Looks like you’re not completely useless.”

Kai just glared and got back into position.

Later that evening…

The three brothers sat on a large fallen tree log, staring up at the stars.

Sabo: “What do you guys wanna be?”

Ace (without hesitation): “I wanna be the freest man in the world.”

Sabo: “Freedom, huh? Sounds good.”

They both looked at Kai.

Kai (after a pause): “I don’t know yet… but I want to go where no one’s been. Not just on sea—beyond the sky, beyond the stars. I want to make a mark the world can’t erase.”

Sabo: “That’s big.”

Kai (smiling slightly): “Then I guess I’ll need a big ship.”

They laughed together under the stars.

[Final scene]

In the shadows of the forest, a group of cloaked men watched from a distance.

Cloaked Man 1: “That’s the one. The boy named Kai.”

Cloaked Man 2: “You sure?”

Cloaked Man 1: “He has it. The spark. The Rogue Star…”

The camera zooms in on Kai’s face—brave, bold, unknowingly destined for greatness.

Episode 3: “Divine Hope”

[Scene opens – Red Hawk Village coastline, dusk]

Fishermen were pulling in their nets. Children laughed by the shore. Peace.

Suddenly—BOOOOOM!

A massive wave crashed into the docks as a giant sea monster emerged from the ocean, its glowing blue eyes locked onto the village. It had dozens of jagged fins, a long serpent body, and a gaping maw that screeched with primal rage.

Villagers scream and scatter.

Villager: “MONSTER!! It’s heading for the village!”

[Rek runs to the scene, eyes narrowed]

Rek: “No more hiding…”

He steps forward, his skin glowing faintly as energy flows around him.

Rek: “Beast Beast Fruit: Model – Cheetah!”

His body morphs into a sleek cheetah with spotted fur. He dashes across the shore at incredible speed, leaving a trail of dust. Then—

Rek: “Model – Hawk!”

He shifts mid-run into a large hawk, flapping into the air with wide golden wings.

Kai (watching, shocked): “Whoa…”

Rek flies above the sea monster, then roars as he changes again:

Rek: “Model – Lion!”

He crashes down onto the monster’s head in a massive lion form, clawing at it fiercely. The beast shakes, flailing into the village walls. Cracks form in the buildings.

[Amara arrives, furious and protective]

Amara: “You picked the wrong village!”

She slams her hands on the ground.

Amara: “Flower-Flower Fruit: Root Bind!”

Huge roots burst from the earth and wrap around the sea monster’s neck and arms, trying to restrain it. The creature thrashes, roaring louder.

[Garros watches from a rooftop, unmoved]

Garros (calmly): “Hmph. Let them try.”

The sea monster slams Rek against a building, and Amara is losing control of the roots.

[Suddenly, WHIRLING WIND. A cloaked figure stands at the cliff’s edge, surrounded by 8 more cloaked individuals.]

The main figure steps forward slowly, removing his cloak to reveal a tall, battle-worn man with silver hair and a sharp scar over one eye.

Kai (wide-eyed): “Who’s that?”

The man unsheathes a glowing sword from his back.

Man (quietly): “...Divine Hope.”

The blade glows gold as he leaps forward, slicing cleanly through the sea monster’s thick neck in a single, blinding flash.

THUD.

The monster’s head hits the sand.

The village goes silent.

One of the man’s crew members—a sniper with a sharp gaze and goggles—lowers his rifle.

Sniper: “Captain… Isn’t that Rek? The guy with the Mythical Beast Fruit?”

Captain: “He hasn’t changed.”

Kai, filled with admiration, runs up to the man.

Kai: “Please! Let me join your crew!”

Captain (smirking): “Little boy… You’re not ready.”

Kai: “How did you know my name?!”

The man turns, his back to Kai.

Captain: “Not your business.”

Kai (confused and staring): “Who is this guy…?”

Garros (still watching): “...He’s here again. This could get messy.”

[Final Scene – Night falls, campfires around the village]

The mysterious man and his crew set up camp just outside Red Hawk Village. The sword “Divine Hope” is stabbed into the ground beside him as he sits quietly.

Kai stares from a rooftop, clutching a stick like a sword.

Kai (thinking): If I want to stand beside him… I need to be stronger. No matter what it takes.
