In a way! Luffy's born in the Fuusha Village on the other side of the island. He only came to live with Ace and the bandits up there in Mt. Corvo a few months ago. It's me who lived here in the trash heap the longest. But after this day, I went to stay with them too.

After that, we don't spend as much time here. We either train fighting animals in the mountain, or go straight into town to-- er... eat fine dining once in a while!
