Before the crew, the ship, or the name, he was just Sticky Nick — a hungry thief with sticky fingers and a borrowed boat. He stole the Neba Neba no Mi — the Sticky-Sticky Fruit — off a Marine cart during a routine shipment, not knowing what it was, only that it looked edible. Two bites later, he could climb walls, stick to ceilings, and lift coin purses without a sound. He never planned on becoming a pirate — but with powers like his, trouble stuck around.
