Shanghai Cay Arc

The Shanghai Cay Arc is the first planned story arc of the fanfiction series Proud Line. It is the first arc of the West Blue Saga and covers the first two chapters of the series.

The series opens with a basic description of the Pirate King, Gold Roger, and an explanation of the Great Pirate Era.

It then introduces the series' protagonist, Pounce D. Luk, and his dream of becoming a "pirate among pirates", as well as his ideal of what a "true pirate" is. He finally sets off from the eponymous Shanghai Cay when the villainous Seagar attempts to lay siege to it, stealing his ship in the process. Also introduced are recurring characters Jenks and Lena, as well as his future First Mate Megani Cina (though she goes unnamed until the next arc).
