In Logetown, there is a very famous restaurant with an Italian theme, this restaurant was one of the best in all of East Blue second only to Baratie. All the customers who frequented this highly regarded restaurant today were not eating as they normally would but we're seeing a tall man with red hair covered in blood devouring plate after plate while weeping loudly.

''Aaaaah delicious. waiter bring me one more plate of every food in the house'' Said Ozymandias while he devoured his food

The waiter didn't know what to do, it was the 4th round he asked for. and on top of that, he was annoying all the customers with his crying. He then went to talk to the chef

''Daddy is that man ok?'' A boy asked his father while pointing to Ozymandias

''Don't point'' the father said worriedly

Suddenly two men dressed as bullfighters carrying red flags appear in front of Ozymandias' table. They start to do a weird dance using the flags.

''I am the first disciple, Reo.'' said a blond man with an oversized head as he held the flag in the middle

''I am the second disciple, Jose.'' said a man with a strange nose that looked more like sunglasses.

''And this is East Blue's most famous Chef, her name is Carmen. The woman of passion.'' The two disciples then pushed the banner aside to reveal a red-haired woman with a unique hairstyle holding a spoon in her mouth

''I'm known as Carmen of the flames.'' Said the woman as she posed with her disciples.

''Ole!.'' They said together

Ozymandias who was lighting a cigarette remembered her, Carmen was a rival cook of Sanji who appeared only once in the series. After that, she never appeared again.

''Customer I have to ask to withdraw. You are disturbing all the customers with your crying and your clothes are not suitable for this restaurant.'' Carmen said while pointing

Ozymandias wiped away his tears and looked around, all the customers were looking at him some disgusted that he was soaked in blood others were curious to see how much more he could eat.

''Forgive me that it's been so long since I've eaten real food, that I cried with happiness to be able to eat such delicious food'' Said Ozymandias getting up and sticking a wad of money on the table

''Keep the change,'' said Ozymandias as he winked at Carmen and left. he really needs new clothes his were starting to stink

''What a strange man,'' said Carmen as she watched Ozymandias leave

''Carmen-sama the money is fake'' Said Reo while opening the pack of bills in it there was only the first and last bill as real the rest was paper

''What? GET HIM'' Said Carmen as she left the restaurant but there was no sign of Ozymandias

''He's going to pay me,'' Carmen said with a vein popping on her forehead.

Ozymandias was facing a clothing store written Robecca Hanberg

Entering the store, Ozymandias was greeted by a man with hair like a hanger, folding his hands and giving a goofy smile.

''Welcome to Robecca Hanberg, I'm Hanger. here we only have the best clothes of the highest class...'' Hanberg stopped talking as soon as he saw the state of Ozymandias' clothes. He wore a lab coat covered in blood and torn black pants with no shoes.

''I'm afraid you can't pay a customer...'' Hanberg didn't even finish talking when Ozymandias pulled out a wad of cash and threw it at him.

''Get on with it... I have things to do'' Ozymandias said impatiently

Hanberg looking at the money quickly rebuilt his posture ''Of course sir, Let me measure you. you can stick your stuff over there'' he pointed to a table

Ozymandias then began to undress, he put what he had in his coat on the table, money, medicine, syringes, and his new kunai.

At Ipponmatsu's weapon shop, Ozymandias decided he needed a weapon. But since he wasn't a swordsman or even knew how to use any other type of weapon, he decided on the Kunais as they were the type of weapons that matched the accuracy and strength of his hands very well, so he forged 16 Grade Classification Kunais.

(kunai pic here)

He then took off his lab coat and Hanberg went to measure it.

''You have an amazing physique, what kind of clothes do you prefer?'' said Hanberg as he measured Ozymandias with a clothing measuring tape

''Formal'' Ozymandias likes suits

''Okay I have what you need'' Hanberg after measuring it brought some clothes for Ozymandias to try on.

Ozymandias then began experimenting. meanwhile, Hanberg, who was watching him, noticed the lab coat full of blood in one of the pockets of the lab coat there was something interesting

Hanberg took a look and widened his eyes when he saw a Devil Fruit!

'A real Devil Fruit' thought Hanberg, he couldn't believe his eyes.

In one piece the Akumas no Mi was desired by everyone, granting power, wealth, and status. Even if a person doesn't eat it, a Devil Fruit sold on the black market could be worth millions and millions. Faced with such a temptation Hanberg could not resist.

Looking at Ozymandias who was looking at some clothes, Hanberg carefully approached the fruit and reached out his hand to take it.

He knew he wouldn't have another opportunity in his life, the Devil Fruits were very rare in East Blue. It was his big chance to move up in life!

Whoosh!

A red kunai flew in the air and sliced off Hanberg's fingertip. He was stunned at first, the cut was so quick that he didn't even feel pain. But soon he realized that he had lost the tip of his finger!

'AAAAAAAh!" Hanberg screamed in pain

"If you try to pick up the fruit again, it will be your hand," said Ozymandias as he got dressed, he ignored Hanberg on the floor moaning and went to look at himself in the mirror

Standing in front of the mirror he saw a new Ozymandias, wearing a white shirt, with a black vest, with a red tie, dark gray pants, and black shoes. With black gloves to hide the red hands.

"Hey you, get up'' Said Ozymandias to Hanberg who was bandaging his fingertip with a cloth

"Y-Y-Yes Sir?" Hanberg said in a cold sweat

''Do you have a knife holster? ''Ozymandias said, he needed something to get his Kunai quickly in Combat

"Y-Yes, I have a new model that is a hit on the Grand Line'' Hanberg went and got a brown chest holster and handed it to Ozymandias

''It's a bit pricey but I guarantee it's top of the line, it's highly sought after, especially by Cipher Pol agents,'' Hanberg said while pretending he wasn't in pain

Wearing the Brown chest holster, Ozymandias liked it, in addition to having spaces for his 16 kunai, it gave him a unique charm. He then holstered his kunai and said

''Do you have a coat? preferably one that has a lot of pockets '' Ozymandias needs something to hold the things he takes

''Of course, I have one that will surely satisfy your requirements,'' Hanberg said as he brought out a brown coat.

''It's a Crombie Coat, made with a special North Blue Cotton, resistant to damage and wear and does not heat up in the heat, with several pockets inside so as not to spoil its external elegance '' Said Hanberg

''Perfect'' Said Ozymandias while putting on his coat and putting all his items in the coat and leaving the store

''Before I go, If you say anything to anyone about what you saw today...'' Ozymandias turned and faced Hanberg

''I burn your shop with you in it'' Said Ozymandias with a devilish smile to Hanberg

''I-I've never seen you'' Said Hanberg Shivering with fear

---------

In a bookstore called 'The Dragon's Eye' there were several books the place was old with many dusty books, and there were few people in this store. Ozymandias took a while to find this place he was here to buy some books that might help him

''The total is 40 million Belly'' said an old woman with glasses behind a counter to Ozymandias

''What? Madam, I just want to buy some books, not your shop'' Said Ozymandias frustrated, he was wanting to buy some books on Biology, Medicine, Carpentry, Engineering, and anything that might help him to develop his powers

''Like I said, 40 million Belly. Those kinds of books you want are quite expensive and rare I have to order them from another sea, you are very lucky that I know where to get those books. 40 million that's the price, I guarantee you no other store in the whole East Blue sells those books'' Said the old woman

''Right right here...'' Ozymandias sighed he had to get these books to be able to get stronger so he had another choice

''Thank you for your purchase, it will take 1 month to arrive'' Said the old woman with a serious face.

''WHAT? Why so long?'' Ozymandias began to regret

''Be quiet'' The old woman made a sign for him to speak more quietly.

''Listen, some of those books you're asking for are banned by the World Government but I know some friends who are willing to risk to bring them to you.

Ozymandias was curious about these 'friends' of this old woman but didn't say anything, after all, he needs these books no matter what he brings them.

After negotiating the books he left the store and went to walk in the well-lit streets of Loguetown, it was already night and the city was beautiful. with the workers closing their shops and the tourists enjoying the night walks in the streets, the wind brought a cool breeze

Ozymandias walked aimlessly just enjoying the beautiful city, until he arrived in the center of the city. it was a square with two fountains, full of people walking, and of course, the place where it all began

Looking at the execution platform Ozymandias admired its symbolism of it, Ozymandias then went to the platform and climbed using Gepppo

''Hey, you can't go up there'' Said a tourist who saw Ozymandias climb the platform

''Shut up'' Ozymandias ignored him and admired the view on the execution platform. You could see most of the city from here, so he sat down and took the Doctor's Risky out of his coat.

''What do I do? what is my objective? find the one piece and become king of the pirates?'' Ozymandias said while taking a drink and looking at the platform

''It's very strange to be in this world, not that I love my old world but it had its advantages, peace, food, laws. it was very peaceful compared to this world. but here it's different, if you don't have the power you don't even have the right to have rights'' Ozymandias said, he knew he couldn't live a normal life. his heart rejects that idea

''Take over the world? it wouldn't work, even the world government that controls this world for 800 years can't tame this world. Find the one piece? it's out of the question too, I don't care enough to be king of the pirates. what shall I do then?'' Ozymandias could not establish his goal, nothing he thought would be worthwhile in his opinion. then he remembered the six books he had taken from the doctor.

While taking a drink, Ozymandias began to read the books. And with each page he read he began to read more frantically

''T-That's amazing,'' Ozymandias said while wondering about the contents of the books. The books were scientific diaries about Genetic studies of different races of one piece, The books contained data and studies of a lifetime! The good doctor was actually a Genius Doctor.

The diary told how the Doctor was fascinated by the superhuman strength that certain people demonstrated, curious the Doctor decided to study why this happened, but his research reached a bottleneck. He then had the opportunity to join the Red Hair Pirates, and his research then began to advance, in a crew of a pirate emperor he found several opportunities for his research. researching different types of races such as fish-men, giants, Skypieans, Mink, and several others.

After 30 years of research, The Doctor made his greatest discovery, he discovered that all living beings in this world have a gene that he named MYP gene. Which can be found in all living beings.

The MYP gene underwent a series of variations throughout evolution, giving rise to what the Doctor called the "Super Strength Allele". This specific allele encodes a modified muscle protein that triggers a series of molecular effects that result in a notable increase in the physical strength of individuals. The Doctor classified the following types of Allele

Strong allele: Some individuals have a version of the allele that encodes the protein with superior efficiency. Your muscle cells can synthesize proteins at exceptionally high rates, resulting in dense, tough muscles. These people have remarkable superhuman strength and are capable of incredible feats.

Moderate Allele: Another variation of the allele leads to moderately more efficient protein synthesis. While not possessing extreme strength, these people still have a significant physical advantage compared to individuals who possess the dormant allele.

Dormant allele: present in all living things, still results in healthy protein synthesis, but does not provide the same level of muscle development. These individuals would have normal physical abilities without being considered superhuman.

The doctor ends by explaining that different races can have variations of this gene, for example, fish-men are always born with a Moderate Allele, explaining how Fish-men have ten times the strength of a common human being from birth, but have a disadvantage. Humans are born with a Dormant Allele but can evolve the Dormant Allele to a Moderate Allele to a Strong Allele through training more easily compared to fish-men who need ten times more training to reach the Strong Allele.

Ozymandias didn't even see the time pass, he continued to read more and more while drinking his whiskey. every page he read his smile grew wilder

''That's right if I can't go back to my world. I can turn this one into my old one. SASAHAHAHAHAHA'' Ozymandias was freaking out now. if he could control the MYP Gene, He could bring peace to this world. No more Pirates, No more World Government, No more Navy. He could eliminate the power of this world and turn all people into normal people, without more people using their own power to do whatever they want, it will balance the game.

''GREAT GOVERNORS OF THE WORLD, DESPERATE. A NEW ERA IS RISING AND I OZYMANDIAS WILL ARCHITERATE SAHAHAHAHAHA'' Ozymandias shouted a little drunk while laughing maniacally at the dark sky

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cannonballs fell from the sky onto the city, causing destruction where the cannonballs landed. People started to get scared.

''PIRATES RUN, PIRATES HAVE ARRIVED!'' A man said as he ran through the streets. People started to panic as the cannonballs fell on the city blowing up buildings and killing people.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ozymandias on the execution platform saw that the cannonballs were coming from the port of Loguetown. the city was under attack

Ozymandias saw this as an opportunity, for him to be able to continue research on the MYP gene he will need a lot of resources. and he decided that to raise the necessary resources to develop as much as he can for the MYP Project the best way would be to start a company.

As he comes from a modern world he has several ideas of something that can generate fortunes for him but he needs to acquire a factory first. And what better place to open a factory than in a city that is desperate for help? Ozymandias then smiled

Another reason why he wants to start a company is that he could train his Devil Fruit abilities while getting rich.

He got off the platform and stopped a person who was running

"Hey you, where is the mayor's house here?" Said Ozymandias as he lifted a man by the neck

---------

In an office of a mansion that was located at the back of the city, an obese bald man wearing expensive jewelry was watching from his window the destruction of the city

''Damn pirates, they appear again and destroy my city if it continues like this I'm going to have to ask for more help from the navy'' Said the mayor to his secretary who was also looking at the destruction

''But if you do that, a large part of the city's revenue will be lost to pay the Navy'' Said the chubby secretary full of makeup

''It's not that simple, these disgusting people in this town won't relegate me if I don't do anything. '' Said the mayor as he lit a cigar

''Great, you're corrupt that makes things easier'' Said a voice out of nowhere, The mayor and the secretary got scared. they turned to the source of the voice

Sitting in the armchair at the mayor's desk with his feet on the table reading some papers was Ozymandias

''Who are you? how did you get here? GUARDS!'' Shouted the mayor as he panicked thinking it might be a pirate

''They won't come. calm down, dear mayor, I just came to make a proposal that will benefit both of us'' said Ozymandias while continuing to read the papers

''I don't want to know about any proposal, GUARDS! COME HERE!" the mayor shouted again as he headed towards the door with the secretary hiding behind him

The mayor opened the door so he could escape but he froze as soon as he saw what was behind the door.

'''Kyaaaaaaaaa!'' Screamed the secretary as she fell to the ground in fear

Behind the door were dozens of decapitated human heads stacked in a pyramid shape. The Mayor began to tremble and went to try to get his pistol.

''As I said, your guards will not come,'' Ozymandias said as he wrote on a paper

The mayor turned to Ozymandias and pointed his pistol with a shaking hand ''Stop right there or I'll shoot'' Ozymandias did not care for him and continued to write

''You've heard the phrase 'if you're going to shoot the devil, you better not miss.' if not, now is a good time to reflect on it'' Ozymandias said with a smile as he finished writing and put his pen away and looked at the mayor

The mayor with a shaking hand looked at that devilish smile and lowered the gun ''What do you want?''

''I see from your record that you have problems with pirates, the city's economy which is based almost entirely on tourism is being threatened by constant attacks by pirates. Plus the constant active corruption of the city hall, the city finds itself in a great economic decline'' Said Ozymandias while he waves for the mayor to sit down

''With that, I come to you to propose a deal'' Said Ozymandias as he turned the paper over and showed it to the mayor.

The mayor with no other option began to read

''I-That's '' The mayor said, In the paper, there was a contract where the company Hellfire Corp was obligated to deal with the threat of pirates that invaded Loguetown and in return, the city hall would cede the lands of a region determined by Ozymandias in addition to tax exemption on the company called Hellfire Corp. In addition, the mayor must accept the company's legal registration and approve all necessary licenses and permits.

''Hellfire Corp? I can accept all that, but the designated location is where the main companies in the city are located.'' The mayor said

''The main companies in the city are rubbish, one is a shoe factory, and the other is a clothing factory. I guarantee that my company will renew the city's economy, the city will not need to depend on tourism'' Ozymandias said with a smile

''it's just between us, I can guarantee a certain re-election of a certain mayor, his rivals would lose their minds with my strategy if you know what I mean'' Ozymandias said while taking a peek at his pyramid of human heads

''I accept, but are you strong enough to defend the city?'' Said the mayor uncertainly while signing, when Ozymandias spoke in reelection he already understood the hidden meaning and accepted but he didn't know if the other party could do as combined and defend the city.

''Don't worry Mayor, Hellfire Corp will honor its commitments'' Said Ozymandias as he took the paper and used Soru to disappear

----------

"TAKE EVERYTHING AND LEAVE THEM NOTHING," Said a pirate captain to his men

The captain was a tall, muscular man with blond braids and wielded a giant ax dripping with blood. He was Igor the Lumberjack a pirate with a bounty of B$20,000,000 on his head

"YES CAPTAIN!'' The pirates shouted back as they looted and burned the houses

Its crew was called the ax pirates, and it had a total of one hundred pirates counting the captain. They stopped at Loguetown for one last loot before venturing out onto the Grand Line.

''Look captain, look what I found'' Said a pirate as he dragged a beautiful woman by her hair and brought her in front of the captain ''P-Please nooooo...'' a pirate covered her mouth while other pirates stayed around giving smiles

The pirate who was covering her mouth came very close to her face and said ''Don't worry princess we're just going to have some fun. just close your eyes it's going to be all too... '' The pirate couldn't finish before a bullet went through her head, smearing the woman's face with blood

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

All the pirates around the woman died in a matter of seconds, all from gunshots to the head. The captain seeing this turned to the shooter

A man with big sideburns, a mustache, and a goatee beard. with a hat armed with 36 flintlock pistols all over his body, he stood in the middle of the pirates while facing the pirate captain

''HAHAHAA Look what we have here Daddy the Father himself. did you come here to die papa?'' Igor the woodcutter laughed

''That's right, look around you. you have no chance'' Said a pirate while everyone else started to get more confident because of the big number after all it was 1 against 96

''Do you want to bet?'' Said Daddy confidently, after all, he was a navy sniper standing out among the elite and with a promising future in his career. but after dueling Yasopp he left the navy and became a bounty hunter. He doesn't want to take any more risks because of his daughter, always hunting small fish. but today he couldn't stand idly by while they attacked his city, the city where his daughter lived.

The atmosphere became tense with no one taking the initiative, Daddy knew the Ax Pirates. He was one of the strongest pirate crews in East Blue today, especially the captain who was said to be ruthless with his enemies. Daddy knew he had to take out the captain first he didn't have much ammo.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Daddy drew fast but the Captain knew he was going to target him first so he ducked behind his fellow pirates who were pierced by bullets

The pirates then began to attack Daddy, who dodged the attack while kicking and shooting at any pirate that got close, one shot, one kill. 'Damn it, I'm going to run out of ammo' Thought Daddy while dodging an ax and putting the pistol right in the pirate's mouth

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The captain of the pirates hid behind his crew and did not attack, he knew that the best choice was to wait for the bullets to run out so he could strike

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Daddy fought very well, always dodging the blows and returning a bullet to the faces of the pirates who attacked him, and he was starting to pile up bodies but seeing that the captain didn't appear he knew that this could not continue. so he had to lure him

Click! Click! Click!

''He ran out of bullets! now kill him'' A pirate yelled as he swung an ax at Daddy's head. Daddy ducked to dodge the gulp as he kicked the pirate's Achilles tendon making him lose his balance and taking the ax from his hands.

Swish!

Daddy swung the axe, splitting the pirate's head in half. Three more pirates came but Daddy was faster, he dodged the first's attack while kicking the second in the face and throwing his ax at the third, nailing the third pirate in the head.

Daddy then retrieved the ax and in one blow killed the remaining two aiming for their throats, but it was at that moment that the pirate captain attacked, he came from behind Daddy's back.

The pirate captain smiled as he slashed toward Daddy's head, but in that fraction of time, Daddy dropped his ax and quickly turned to the captain and drew a pistol! The pirate captain widened his eyes

Bang!

Slash!

Blood rose in the air but it wasn't from the pirate captain

''hahaha for a moment I thought you had me, but unfortunately for you.....'' Said the captain as he removed the bullet that was stuck in his now-transformed ax head and turned to a kneeling Daddy with a slash on the shoulder

''I ate the Ono Ono no Mi and I turned into the axeman, and I can turn every member of my body into an axe, including my head'' Said the captain of the ax pirates as he approached Daddy and raised the ax

The surrounding pirates were just watching the execution with victorious smiles.

Daddy who was on his knees took his pendant where he had a picture of his daughter 'I'm sorry Carol, daddy won't come home anymore' he then closed his eyes while the giant ax went against his head

ssshing!

A red kunai flew towards the ax and cut the handle, and it didn't stop there, it went straight to the captain who at the last second turned his arm into an ax and managed to defend himself.

''WHO THROWN THIS KUNAI?'' The pirate captain demanded

The pirates looked at each other until they all looked in a certain direction. A man with an outstretched arm was there

''Who are you? Do you want to die too?'' Said the pirate captain

Ozymandias who was looking at the scene until he saw that Daddy was going to be killed decided to interfere now

''Excuse me where are my manners, my name is Ozymandias you can say I'm a businessman now'' Said Ozymandias while taking off his coat after all he doesn't want to stain his brand new coat

''Businessman? Did you come here to buy this one's life?'' Said the pirate captain while kicking Daddy who was shocked by this turn of events

''Not me, I came here to profit from your life. '' Said Ozymandias as he took off his gloves, and all the pirates saw his hands red up to the elbow

''A Devil Fruit user! '' the pirates exclaimed and the captain became more serious now

The pirates then screamed and rushed to kill Ozymandias. Ozymando seeing this took his Kunais from his holster and put 5 in each hand and threw them at the band of pirates

ssshing! ssshing! ssshing! ssshing!

The kunais flew like red rays and hit their targets at an incredible speed that pierced the bodies of the pirates and hit the pirates who were running behind, so with extreme ease Ozymandias eliminated 2/3 of the ax crew. The remaining pirates stop at the sight of their fellow pirates' bodies with holes in them.

''You bastard!'' The pirate captain roared in rage and turned both arms ax and rushed to chop Ozymandias to pieces.

Ozymandias seeing this stood still while waiting for the Pirate Captain to approach.

''DIE!''

''Soru''

The two pass each other and take a dramatic break.

Tum Tum! Tum Tum! Tum Tum!

''What happened? '' the captain said because he was confused

Tum Tum! Tum Tum! Tum Tum!

''Why is it so cold?'' Said the captain as he turned around and the remaining pirates widened their eyes. even Daddy who was watching the exchange opened his mouth in sheer disbelief

The Pirate Captain turned and looked at Ozymandias holding a still beating heart.

Tum Tum! Tum Tum! Tum Tum!

The captain of the pirates looked at his chest and there was a tiny hole in it ''Hey, that's not yours give it back to me'' Said the pirate captain as he starts to head towards Ozymandias. but his vision started to get blurry

''Give me back, please...'' Said the captain, now crawling on the ground and reaching Ozymandias' feet

Tum Tum!

''Of course friend, here take it'' Ozymandias extended the heart and the captain went to take it but as soon as he was about to reach it, Ozymandias removed the hand that held the heart

Tum Tum!

''Oops, my bad. here take it'' Ozymandias said with a smile then reached out his hand, with the captain's heart again, the captain with his eyes red in pain reached out his hand once more to take it

''Oops, I'm kidding. '' Ozymandias removed his hand once more

''I stopped, now it's serious, you can take it now. '' Ozymandias then looked at the heart he was holding had stopped beating. the captain had died with a look of despair as he held out his hand

''Well, in my defense I didn't know you were going to make it this long. whatever'' Then Ozymandias threw his heart away and looked around

There was only Daddy standing there the remnants of the pirates fled while Ozymandias did his little show

Daddy had seen many horrible things in his life but this was one of the worst. in the end, he ignored the madness he had just witnessed and bowed. He was filled with gratitude in his heart, that he could live another day, that he could live and see his daughter grow up.

''My name is Daddy Masterson you can call me Daddy, I owe you my life'' Daddy said as he bent down

''Nice to meet you'' Said Ozymandias with a friendly smile as he waved to Daddy
