Author's Notes:
Hello everyone,
» 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.
» English is my second language, furthermore, this is my first story, so grammar will be slowly improved. The first few chapters have many grammatical errors, please bear with it, the chapters behind them will be Ok.
P.s I will try to be as logical as possible without any logic behind it, Hahaha, why should there be logic in a fiction?.

Prologue: What Is This?
.
.
.
On a dark stormy night, somewhere in a sea, a battered ship is swaying due to a whirlpool forming nearby. Oblivious to it, its occupants are treating their fresh injuries but they ke[t their focus on their captain who is frantically walking on the deck.
"Shit! shit! shit!" cursed the Captain before glaring at a man in front of him.
"You clearly told me that ship will be some small kingdom's ship" Captain questioned that man who nodded fearfully.
"But that ship turned out to be World Government's research ship" Captain pointed out.
"Because of your wrong info, I lost many men in this raid" Captain anguished as the man looked down ashamed.
"I'm sorry captain" the man apologized sincerely.
Before the Captain could scold "But Captain it is completely not my fault, that ship disguised its details" the man explained.
"Oh!" Captain reacted to this detail and went into deep thought. "Whatever, that ship disguised as some kingdom's ship, so they must be on a secret mission or have something valuable" Captain deduced after a while.
"But we have looted everything on that ship" the man replied confusedly. "Except for that... THING" he shakily pointed at the box in the middle of the crowd.
"Yeah! Even though that ship looked pretty advanced, it only has some papers and some weird bottles it doesn't have anything precious" another man chimed in.
"Even the vault that we blast open...-the one in which a person hid in" one man snickered, "*cough* It also didn't have anything valuable... except..." the man eyed the Box.
"I don't care anything about that, we just attacked a government ship, so they will start hunting us now" yelled the captain staring coldly at the others.
"Do you think we will have time to sell these things?" Captain fumed at his idiotic crew.
"Maybe, they won't find out" a man arrived, who seemed to be second-in-command due to receiving respectable looks.
"Hmm! How do ya' say so?" asked a man eagerly.
"Simple, we killed everyone on the ship" he replied cruelly. "So, no one informed the government" He reasoned logically.
"Even if someone is alive, we have destroyed the sail & rudder, looting all Transponder snail" Captain finished looking relaxed.
Everyone digested the information silently with varying expressions, "Captain! There is a whirlpool forming nearby" informed a person from crow nest breaking the silence.
"Let's get away from this area, I will deal with you later" Captain suggested before pointing at the informant.
"Men! prepare the sail, raise the anchor, ready to sail" the captain ordered, as people scattered to do their jobs.
"Captain! What to do with this" asked a man pointing at the mysterious box.
"Toss it overboard" the Captain replied.
The man reached the box fearfully then secured the box's lid properly; the box is very sturdy, maybe made of legendary Adam wood.
He carried it to the rail and started lowering it. "What the hell are you doing? 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 glancing at the box nervously, "so don't bother; finish the job quickly before you receive Captain's wrath" the man warned while working on sail's rope.
"Why does the government have something like this?" The man asked quickly lowering the box into the sea.
"Who knows?" he got a reply before cutting it off.
The ship began to sail away leaving the box, the box got caught in the whirlpool's current slowly pushing towards the whirlpool's center. The sky darken further as the box began to fall into the abyss-like whirlpool's center.
But it fell on the calm mirror-like sea surface, the box floated silently without any sign of previous whirlpool there. Suddenly the water began to rise due to the pressure, from the same place of the whirlpool's center, carrying the box on its top.
The pressure rises, increasing the size of the water mound which has the box on its top by each passing second. Just as the pressure reached its limit "*cough* *cough* *gasp* *wheeze*...woo...wah...waa...wah" a baby's cry originated from the box.
As if receiving a signal the built-up pressure is released creating a knock-out stream carrying the box resting on its top.

White Sea
"Can we get anything good from that monstrous stream this time?" asked a winged person surveying the white sea.
"It will be great if a sea king got caught in it, we can get strong leather and good meat," another person replied wishfully driving the Dial boat.
"Yeah... it's nearly four centuries, but the war is nowhere near its end.." he replied absentmindedly concentrating 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.
In some distance, he noticed Sky sharks circling around something. "There..." he pointed then activating his Jet ski racing towards that position followed by his partner.
"Get out of here you bloody shark" he yelled discovering a beaten-up box half-submerged slowly being filled with water.
"*cough*...*wheeze*... *chock*" struggling sound came out from the box so he quickly lifted the box when a shark jumps at him jaws wide but got speared by his partner.
He placed the box on the vehicle as water pours out through the broken gaps in the box. "Are you sure it's alive? it is probably drowned with this amount of water in it" pointed out his partner, to which he also agree.
He still opened the box to find the baby of... what species? he did not know. He stared incredulity inside the box, "*wheeze*..*wheeze*" sound brought him back from staring.
"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 examining the baby. It 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 as 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.
Another thing is:-
The speech will be in - "..."
Thinking inwards will be in - '...'
Other actions will be in - [...]
Enjoy the story.
