Author's Notes:

Hello everyone,

» English is my second language, furthermore, this is my first story, so there will be grammatical errors.

» I love One Piece and have read manga and watched anime.

» I have written this FanFic after reading many Fanfics and got inspired by them.

» Research is also conducted to ensure the accuracy of the worldview.

» I have written this fanfic for fun.

» The story will be slow-paced for a few chapters, with a mild information dump, so be patient.

» About the timeline settings, I got info from here: The one-piece-timeline- The Library of Ohara, So google it if needed.

P.s If you find anything ilLogical in the story, it has NoLogic behind it, why should there be logic in fiction?.

Chapter: What Is This?

.

.

.

In a stormy sea, there is a lone ship being battered by the waves, on top of its deck, two people were arguing with each other while the remaining crew is surrounding them either in fear or trying to dissuade them from fighting.

"What the hell!?" roared one man, "You informed there will be rich treasure in that ship and lost some men after raiding it" he anguished "but all of it was in vain because of you" shouted the man who looks like the captain pointing at other.

"How do I know that we would get this…" the yelled man pointed shakily at the box in the middle of the crowd "THING...I was only informed that the ship was from a laboratory" he disclosed fearfully, "I thought we would get a weapon or at least devil fruit from them, who knows they have THIS" he stuttered trying to reason with the captain.

"I don't care anything about that, we just attacked a government ship because of your information, so they will start hunting us now" yelled the captain while staring coldly at the other.

"Captain! There is a whirlpool forming nearby" informed a person from crow nest breaking the tense situation.

"We should get away from this area quickly so I will deal with you later" Captain spat angrily looking at the informant.

"Men! prepare the sail, raise the anchor, move away from the whirlpool" the captain ordered, as people scattered to do their jobs.

"Captain! What to do with this" asked a man while pointing at the box fearfully. "Toss it overboard" the Captain replied.

So the man reached the box fearfully and secured the box's lid properly, the box itself is very sturdy and made of tough wood. He carried it to the rail and started lowering it quickly.

"Why the hell are you lowering it? Just toss it overboard" complained the man next to him.

"You know what is inside right" he retorted back still lowering the box.

"Idiot it's...whatever it is IS dead" the man gulped looking repulsively at the box "so don't bother about it; finish the job quickly before you receive Captain's wrath" the man warned while working on sail's rope. The man quickly lowered the box in the sea before cutting it off.

The ship began to sail away leaving the box, the bot slowly floated towards the whirlpool before getting sucked towards the center of the whirlpool. The sky began to darken as the box began to fall into the center of the whirlpool which looks like an abyss.

The next moment the sea became calm suddenly as the box floated on the sea surface which is as smooth as a mirror without a sign of previous whirlpool there. But the water began to rise from the previous position of the whirlpool's center due to the pressure building under it carrying the box to the top of it.

The pressure continues to increase as time went by just as the pressure reached the limit "*cough*.. *cough*.*gasp*.*wheeze*...woo..wah...waa...wah" sound originated from the box. As if waiting for that cry the built-up pressure is released creating a knock-out stream that blasted off carrying the box along with it resting on its top miraculously.

"Can we get anything good from that monstrous stream this time around?" asked a person while surveying the white sea.

"It will be great if we got a sea king this time, we can get strong leather and good meat," wishfully replied another person while driving the dial boat.

"Yeah... it's has been many years but the war is not going to end soon.." he replied absentmindedly while trying to hear something.

"Hey, Do you hear it, some crying sound," he asked his partner, who slowed the vehicle to hear properly.

"waa..waa...*wheeze*..*hic* wah..*wheeze*" they suddenly heard the sound from a distance.

"Shit! Its sounds like a baby's cry. Find it before it gets eaten by sharks" he panicked and looked around, to find a Sky shark's fin circling something in the distance. "There..." he pointed activating his Jet ski and raced towards that direction followed by his partner.

"Get out of here you bloody shark" he yelled before finding a beaten up box half-submerged and is slowly filled being filled with water "*cough*..*wheeze*. *choke*" struggling sound came out from the box so he quickly reached and lifted the box just as the shark jumps at him, which was speared by his partner who just arrived.

He brought the box to the vehicle as the remaining water pours out through the broken gaps in the box. "Are you sure it's alive? it is probably drowned by now with this amount of water in it" pointed out his partner, to which he also agree.

I still opened the box to find the baby of ... what species he did not know, he stared incredulity "*wheeze*..*wheeze*" sound brought him back from staring at the baby.

"It's struggling to breathe, we need to get it a doctor," he urged bringing back his partner's mind who was gaping at the baby.

"What is this thing," his partner asked while stepping on the accelerator.

"Don't know, probably a species from the blue sea" he replied looking down at the baby, Which has shark teeth, a black tail, claws on his hands & feet, and a black wing, other than that he probably looks like a normal human.

"Do you think it's a devil?" his partner gulped fearfully to which the baby unconsciously scoffs.

"Don't know Don't Care, we will leave it at the infirmary, God Gan Fall will take care of it" he replied remaining silent the entire way.

Just info:- As I mentioned in the description of the story, the MC has short-term memory loss so to avoid confusion I decided to use terms to differentiate like this:

Actions of MC before memory loss - 'Past me', 'I', 'Past him' etc, using single quotes.

Actions of current MC - I, me, my - as usual without any addition.

Well, you will understand them easily as you read the story.

Enjoy the story.
