Five years ago, there was an Island located in the East Blue. On this Island, there were four different 'countries' each ruled by a mighty king. However, these 'countries' all lived in harmony. They were: the Fire Kingdom, the Ice kingdom, the Earth kingdom, and the Wind Kingdom.

Now, you might be thinking that these are strange names for kingdoms, and you would be right. If the inhabitants were human.

You see, this is a very special land. The people on this island can all shift into Dragons. Yes, you heard right. Dragons. Which kingdom you were born in dictated how your Dragon form looked, as well as what element you could control and breathe out.

It goes like this: Fire dragons can breathe and control fire; some can even control lava and even shoot it from their mouths. Ice dragons can shoot a barrage of ice shards and ice beams capable of freezing even the largest of tsunamis and some could even freeze small areas of molten lava, they also have control over ice that they did and did not create, they are also the ones who create blizzards. Earth dragons breathe mud and barrages of rock shards and some could even do sand, they have been known to cause massive landslides and creating sinkholes. Wind dragons breathe, well, wind, and can create powerful gusts of wind as well as small tornados and hurricanes.

The only catch is, they have to at least have their wings and tail out before they can do these things.

And their powers weren't the only thing that divided them. Even the land in which the kingdoms were established on was different for each one.

For fire, it was mostly rock, with a few lakes and rivers of lava as well as fire "meadows" and two volcanoes. For ice, it was rock covered in heavy, dense ice and a few feet of snow, with some lakes and rivers kept unfrozen. For earth, it was a lot of rocks and dirt, and even some desert areas, this is where everyone got their food, they just had to trade with other countries to get what they wanted, which is also why everyone got along so well. For wind, it was the same as earth, only they had tornados that patched the place, but strangely, they never moved.

They all look like normal humans in their human form. However, there is one way to tell them apart: their eye color, as well as the shape of their pupils.

The color of their eyes matches what element they control. Fire dragons have red eyes, ice dragons have pale blue eyes, earth dragons have light brown eyes, and wind dragons have pale green eyes. Their pupils made it look like they had snake eyes, but they insist that its dragon eyes.

The day was calm and clear in East Blue. Completely opposite of state that the Fire and Ice kingdoms were in here on Dragonic Island. The two neighboring countries were expecting new editions to the royal families. The queens of the two kingdoms were currently in labor with the princes. Maids and servants were rushing about, getting towels and blankets and hot water.

The queen of the fire kingdom had given birth to a beautiful baby boy when the sun was at its highest point in the sky.

The people of the fire land rejoiced, for not only was it new years, but it is said that when a baby in the fire kingdom is born when the sun is at its highest, he will be the most powerful fire dragon in existence. However, today was not only new years, but today the total Solar Eclipse is in effect. The people of the fire kingdom knew that, with the events that are in play, this baby would be more powerful than any other fire dragon born on this day, at this time.

The name given to this child is: Pyres D Ace.

He is the first baby that was born during a total Solar Eclipse

The queen of the ice kingdom did not give birth until a total Lunar Eclipse happened, and before midnight!

For the ice kingdom, there legend says that the most powerful were born during a full moon. However, there is one night where a baby will become even more powerful than those born during the full moon: those who are born during a Lunar Eclipse. However, like Ace, Luffy is the only one to be born during a total eclipse.

The queen, like the one in the fire kingdom, had a beautiful baby boy.

The name of this child is: Ices D Luffy.

The whole kingdom celebrated the birth of the two new princes, who they believed would be the powerful beings, even more than the famed Whitebeard.

Soon afterwards, however, they realized one very important thing: the government would no doubt try and take them to raise them as human weapons to be pitted against the most powerful of pirates.

The king and queen of both kingdoms, seeing as it was way too soon for Ace and Luffy to know what their dreams were, pleaded with their subjects to, under even the direst of situations, not reveal the existence, nor the circumstances, that the princes were born. The people of the land agreed in less than a second.

Ace and Luffy, now at the age of four, had started to learn how to transform into their different dragon forms, and how to use their elemental powers. Both of them were learning at an astonishingly fast paste. Learning the fighting move, or even how to turn a limb into its dragon version, within a few minutes. Of course, they didn't learn just how to fight and how to control their powers. No, they were also taught academics by the scholars of the island. Well, Ace and Luffy's favorite scholar. They refused to be taught by anyone other than the 'old man', as they so called him. They proved to be quite intelligent in this part of their learning as well, with Luffy, surprisingly, being able to learn things easier than Ace, while Ace got fighting moves down faster than Luffy. Of course, they were both equals when it came to dragon stuff.

They were the pride of the land.

Unfortunately, this would soon come to an abrupt end.

It was a bright and sunny day, with the weather being clear in all four kingdoms, leaving a perfect view of a cloudless sky. The people of the land going about their own business (A/N: imagine how the village in Amazon Lily looked before Luffy caused a stir.) and doing their shopping.

That is, until the loud chime of a large bell echoed throughout the land. They had visitors. And not the good kind.

Within ten seconds, the ships fired cannon balls, mercilessly attacking the island.

Around forty navy battleships had surrounded the island. A buster call of massive proportions had been initiated.

As their homes were being destroyed, everyone was panicking and screaming, running about and trying to get to safety, not realizing that it is in vein.

The fire and Ice kings gathered their sons and wives to try and flee. But, one look outside and they saw that there was no way for all of them to escape.

Nevertheless, the two families were at the port.

"We may not be able to escape" said the Ice king, a man in his thirty's with black hair and signature ice-blue dragon eyes, to the two children, who were crying, "But we will make sure that the two of you will."

The two kids, now six, were bawling their eyes out, trying to convince their parents to come with them. Only, they just received sad, regretful looks, and that was all it took for Ace and Luffy to realize 'I'm not ever coming back here again.' They traded looks before hugging their parent fiercely and saying their tearful goodbyes and climbing into the boat and rowing as fast as they could, watching as their home of six years burn to the ground. And this all happened on their birthday.
