Rufy Vs Kuro

I was reading One Piece from the beginning and I've had a kind of nostalgic sense looking at this battle.
Maybe nobody remembers this part of the story, the meeting with Usop, the Going Merry and this bad guy who pretended to be Kaya's butler.
So I think that too many times we forget from where we're coming.
We forget the bad experiences that have let us growing up.
We forget all the enemies met in our path, defeated or not.
We sometimes forget all those friends we believed to be marginal, ignoring that every person we find it's fundamental for our life.

Rufy is who he is because of all of this.
Appreciate all challenges and people you find, they're a treasure like the One Piece ;)
