After traveling through time to become a child worker in the Donghai Mine, Lin Ran didn't have a golden finger, only a heart that didn't want to live on his knees.
He taught his co-workers how to read and raised a red flag sewn from rags - the flag's fruit awakened and had the ability to make ordinary people no longer isolated.
Beginning with an uprising on a mining island, the red flag flies towards the Grand Line.
Luffy wants to be the freest person.
Lin Ran wants everyone to stop living on their knees.
"We don't want a new king, we want a world without slaves."
