He explains that he was 21 when he finished this piece, about a year before the serialization of One Piece. He notes that he had already decided on Luffy's straw hat "episode" with Shanks, but later wrote a second version of "Romance Dawn" (published in the short story collection "WANTED!") where Luffy received the hat from his grandfather instead.
