History: Kenji was born on an unnamed island in the South Blue. He grew up with his younger brother Kiyoshi whom he played with everyday for years. Their games usually ended up in a fight but they enjoyed them. When he was ten a pirate crew attacked his island for an unknown reason at first. Kenji told his younger brother to hide in their favorite playing spot for a while. Kenji went to help the villagers fend off the pirate attack the best he could. Gunshots and the sounds of swords clashing filled the air as the villagers tried to fend off the pirate attack. In the end the village lost and he was interrogated for the location of a hidden treasure. Not knowing what they were talking about he was deemed useless and was about to be killed.

Split seconds before Kenji was killed the pirate stopped his attack and stood still for a couple of seconds before falling on his knees. Over the horizon came two Marines one of which had a gun who had shot the pirate just seconds earlier. The two Marines took out all of the pirates in an instant saving the village. Kenji stubborn yelled at the Marines saying he could of beat them alone and one of the Marines who had two swords laughed and patted him on the head. He told Kenji to grow strong and become a Marine one day and Kenji thanked him as he left the island.
