Okay okay...so that gave me an idea to add onto your good one. =3

Ryu arrives to the island from the ship that left the Grand Line. Perhaps the person that got beat was beaten by the crew of the ship that Ryu was riding on? Here's what I'm thinking:

Ryu is riding a boat...and the boat gets attacked on a routine supply run from a pirate crew...but the ship succeeds in defeating the pirates and continues on unharmed. The pirates, enraged at what happened, follow them and take a valuable passenger from their ship hostage (perhaps a close friend/lover of one of the higher-ups on the ship). Perhaps even somebody that treated Ryu rather well while on board. Ryu then steps in to assist and rescues the hostage...though she takes a serious wound somehow. Either shot or stabbed, it won't matter. At that point, the other crew members arrive in whatever way you'd like them to arrive. They fight back, beating the pirate crew again, while Ryu focuses his attention on saving the person that was injured.

What do you guys think of that one? It's just something that came to my mind as I was reading your posts. xD
