Jonathan Arleigh/History

Past
Jonathan Arleigh was born as Juanito Enriquez in Tendokyo, a sky island currently over East Blue. When he was five years old, Jonathan learned from his father the basics of self-defense using a wooden stick. After seven years, he joined the Tendokyo's reserve squadron for this kingdom's army, under the supervision of his father General Arleigh D. Shiraz (alias of Juan Garcia Enriquez), a former pirate turned soldier. Jonathan then learned how to use a real sword. During one of the family's lunchtime storytelling, Shiraz tells the family about the life of the previous Pirate King, Monkey D. Luffy. Jonathan then became inspired of becoming a pirate after hearing the story, and after many in Tendokyo believe Jonathan shares traits with the previous Pirate King.

Defense of Tendokyo
Jonathan's father was assigned to be the main commander of the island's defense against the Right Wing, an infamous terrorist organization led by a former World Noble, Roland Darte who came from the line of Saint Shalulia. His elder brother Santino took care of Jonathan for the whole time of the defense of Tendokyo. The huge battle began immediately after the arrival of the terrorist group in the area. Jonathan and the rest of his family hid in the market, along with several more people.
