[ Dr. Genus]

~ Paradise Grand-line

One of the many unique islands in the Grand-line is a Mecha Island that contains many pieces of machinery and it's much more advanced than the certain norms in the world.

The island is actually a giant sleeping sea turtle that only chose to wake up every one thousand years to lay her eggs and because of this, no Log Pose is able to point it anywhere as it doesn't have a magnetic field, making it impossible for anyone to find.

There can be seen many buildings made purely made of metal, iron, and the like. The one that stood out the most was the skyscraper that stuck out like a sore thumb.

There are many glasses making it visible and it was weirdly curved and yet tall causing one to think how was anyone manage to make this strange building and not make it fall down.

On the top floor, there can be seen a man currently building one of his many conventions which were a motor-bike currently which was his son's idea.

This man is the sole ruler of Mecha Island and the one that made numerous amazing technology, and his name is called Ratchet.

He has light brown hair with a round face and has narrow brown eyes that gave a sinister vibe. He has a very thin build and currently adorns the laboratory clothes.

"Gonzo, bring my son here immediately," ordered Ratchet as he glanced at the elderly man for a moment and instantly focused back on his work.

"Understood, my Lord," complied the elderly man, with a calm expression on his face.

He was quite muscular at his age, trimmed mustache and a couple of wrinkles on his face. His head was smoothly balded and he wore a black and white suit along with white gloves.

A few minutes later, there can be seen in the corridor hallway with a child and an elderly man conversing as they walked side by side.

Currently, the old man was sweating profusely under the gaze of the child next to him as he was under massive pressure as he tried his best to look ahead trying his best to ignore the glance.

Dr. Genus is a young boy of small stature. He has straight black hair that reaches his chin and has deep red eyes covered by his glasses. He was currently wearing a cyan hoodie with a drawstring and cropped pants with a red slippers.

"Old man, you need to stop panicking. I'm not gonna do anything to you. I'm not a monster." said the child with an amused expression on his face as he pushes up his small, rounded glasses with his index finger expertly.

He could literally read the old man's mind without a problem and quite frankly it amused him to no end as he didn't expect to be considered a monster in the mind of other people.

For some reason whenever he used his [Devil Fruit], people get the wrong vibe from him no matter what and he honestly disliked that.

He will need to find a way to make sure how to not scare people when using it and so he started to ponder what to do with this in his head as he absentmindedly walked.

Gonzo visibly relaxed with his young master's words but nonetheless still put up a guard as for some reason, the young master's vibe was more sinister than anyone he ever met in his entire and that was not even the worst part.

He had once seen his young master destroying some criminals in his room mentally without doing anything and he didn't know how but he knew he didn't like it one bit from the way how the criminals had screamed and yet no noise came out.

Suddenly, the child snapped back to reality and glanced at his family's butler with an amused expression but nonetheless questioned in a superior manner.

"Do you have any ideas why is Father calling me to his room? I'm currently busy."

"My apologies, young master. I do not know the reason. However, if I am to assume then it's probably that he needed you for his work." said Gonzo with a clear apologetic expression on his face and bowed down with his right hand on his chest.

The child nodded as if that might be the case and decided to not take any longer as he jogged ahead leaving behind the elderly man with no intention of stopping for him.

"I don't think anyone else in this country is safe from him. Including you, my Lord" muttered the family's butler as he gazed at the child's back with fear in his eyes.

[ Erich Von Tschermak]

~ Paradise Grand-line

There is a myth about a Sky Island as the majority of the population in One Piece heard about but didn't exactly believe in the existence of the Sky Island.

On Sky Island, there are a vast amount of trees surrounded by the White Sea. There are four ordeals that are managed by each priest who served the ruler of the Island that proclaimed to be God.

In one of the ordeals, there is a man with tanned skin and a bald head. He has a long white wing on his back which unfortunately for him he couldn't use.

Right next to him was a child with the same tanned skin and has small white wings on his back. He was currently smiling happily as he gazed at his father who is a priest ordeal of Iron.

As far as he recalls, his father was currently the strongest man second to the God of the Island named Enel in this area. However, even Enel was far weaker than the current Yonko and Admirals since, in his previous life, he had watched an anime called One Piece.

In his opinion, since he couldn't get much information on Im'sama, the only character he knew that was the strongest in the world was Xebec D. Rocks but he's dead which is unfortunate.

"Papa, now what? I've completed the training regime with ease. You said I need to come to you once I feel I can no longer improve. Well, here I am." questioned optimistically as he grinned at his father.

The corner of Ohm's eye twitched for a moment and he sighed exhaustingly as he stroked his only son's head roughly causing the child to smack his hand.

"You're not normal, son. You shouldn't have to be this strong at this age. You should be playing around with other children like sniffling brat," said the Iron Priest as he glanced at his hand, annoyed that this child managed to make him feel pain.

"I'm starting to get tired of you as well. You have said this numerous times." complained the child as he frowned with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Whatever. You're lucky God has let you off. I thought you were a bad omen at first but surprisingly you're actually blessed if he has not done anything to you during this entire time."

Erich rolled his eyes annoyingly as his father has once again said this exact quote many times, however he cannot help but agree with him on that fact that he was actually blessed for two reasons.

One was that he managed to reincarnated into a world he actually know and second was that Enel has let his power get to his head, leaving him alone as he didn't believe for a second that the child would ever be a threat.

'That arrogant bastard should already know I can manipulate wood. Is he not afraid? Or is it the fact that his [Devil Fruit] actually made him that stupid but if that is the case, I could use that as an advantage.' thought the child with a serious expression that didn't suit his face.

Other than himself, no one else knows he can manipulate wood. Not even his father but he can bet his entire future that Enel already know he has a [Devil Fruit}.

Since according to the anime, it has been confirmed that Enel's mantra combined with his [Devil Fruit] can practically covered the entire Island which was scary, to be honest.

'I don't necessarily need to deal with him. It's too bothersome. Add on the fact he's too powerful. I will just leave him to his future nemesis if he's alive. Hope the other contestants don't kill him before that though.'

Located far away from the child was a man outside laying down on the comfortable, white couch while he was currently eating a red apple.

He has a pale complexion with a well-toned yet somewhat wiry build. He has a slim face, usually seen with a relaxed, half-lidded expression accompanied by a calm confident smile.

He has a blonde head and his earlobes stretch all the way down to his chest.

"What will that child do? Try to defeat me, become my subordinate, or travel the entire world as my emissary to spread the knowledge for the ignorant people of me," mutters Enel as he finished the apple with the last bite as he dreams of everyone worshipping him on the planet.

[ Hyouhu Kyousuke]

• Fish-man Island

Under 10,000 meters below sea level in the giant hole that goes under the Red Line at the bottom of the deep trench, there was an underwater island that is encased in a giant bubble allowing humans and other creatures to survive.

There is always a slum in every civilization and Fishman Island was no different.

In one of the many slums, there can be seen a child with green scales covering his entire body. He has an incredible triangular, sharp teeth which were surprisingly pearly white.

He has small round, white eyes, three sets of curved facial markings under his eyes, gills on his shoulder. He was incredibly musuclar with a defined abs and pectoral muscles.

Currently, he was surrounded by many children younger and older as the atmosphere was strangely cheerful. What was weird in this scenario was that Kyousuke walked very elegantly in a straight line separating the crowded children into two and stopped at the end.

He rotated in one hundred and eighty degrees as he imitate an veteran soldier.

"Now, I've finally got the hang of my own abilities. It's time for you all to train. I will train you without holding back even if you beg for it." informed the child as he grinned unnaturally in a eery manner.

He then pointed his index finger toward the crowd that gathered together and instantly pointed upward resulting in screams and cries.

Everyone was currently in the air flaping their legs and arms desperatedly as if they want to get back down.

After a few minutes has passed, he pointed his finger down resulting in screams and cries once again at the same time while they were falling down on the concrete ground thinking they were about to die.

Just when they were about to hit on the ground, the child fortunately pointed his finger straightforwardly stopping their advance allowing them to land without problem.

He chuckled amusededly at their miserable face which was covered in tears and snot. Some have already fainted and others has vomited their foods. He could never get tired of this.

Suddenly, one of the children in the crowd confidently step out with an angry expression on his face.

"Master, you need to stop this or else" said one of the extras in the crowd with a threatening tone which sadly didn't resulted on what he wanted.

"Oh my goodness. Look at one of you that managed to have a gut to threaten me. I'm so pleased. I'm disappointed in the rest of you. You should learn from him." said the boss with a delight expression on his face.

"However I cannot accept his tone, it's rude. So I'm going to do it again. Blame him, not me."

Everyone stared at the individual that spoke against the boss with intense anger causing the extra to flinch hard metaphorically and he couldn't help but stuttered.

"I'm so s-sorry, b-boss. Please forgive my insolent behaviour" desperately pleaded the extra as he prostate on the ground facing his master.

Kyousuke cackled in evil manner as he once again pointed his index finger causing the crowd to run away but it didn't work as they started to fly in the air and spin around multiple times with just his index finger wrankling around like a conductor guiding his musician teams and his other hand on his back.

~ New World

Wano Country is a country that is not affiliated with the World Government and is currently occupied by the Beasts Pirate as their territory under Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.

In the center of the country is where the current Shogun Kurozumi Orochi resides. It is currently the only prosperous place in Wano, due to the shogun's affiliation with the Beasts Pirates.

The city is called Flower Capital. Inside the main castle in the middle back of the Flower Capital, there is a rather large man with a big head and a stocky build.

He appears to be balding with his purple hair on the sides and has topknot in the back, as well as his thin mustache that sticks upward. He was currently surrounded by beautiful females that kept on constantly laughing and touching.

"My ladies, have you seen the whereabouts of my son?" said Orochi as he questioned them with a lewdly face as he couldn't help but drool looking at their smooth, naked waist.

Suddenly, an elderly man appeared behind Orochi in a hurried manner and straightforwardly informed his Lord.

"I think young master has already arrived in Onigashima to meet Kaido and his son, my Lord" replied Fukurokuju, the head of the Oniwabanshu.

"Huhhhh, why is he going there? Why have you not informed me before he has decided to leave?" questioned Orochi as he assumed an angry expression on his face.

"My apologies. Gurē has already disappeared last night and at first, we arrogantly thought we will catch him before sunrise but we didn't think his escaping method at such young age can manage to leave me and my subordinate behind" said the elderly man as he stroked his long goatee with a serious expression.

"Kahahaha, it's no big deal. See that ladies, my son is incredible! Kahahahaa" boasted Orochi as he praised his son with a proud expression on his face.

Onigashima is an island south of Wano and is currently where Kaido resides. His underlings arrived here occasionally to report to him.

Once a year, during the Fire Festival, Kurozumi Orochi and his men arrived in Onigashima to celebrate with their allies the take over of Wano Country and to pay their respects to the country's protector.

Inside the building in Onigashima, there was a middle-aged man who cuts an imposing figure due to his extreme height of 710cm and the bulk of his muscles, making him dwarf normal humans.

He has a massive pair of gray-white, sharp-pointed horns coming out of its sides curving to the front. He also has a longish face with a heavy, hairless brown ridge topping sharp, often bloodshot eyes.

Right of Kaido's defined abs is his only scar that was a massive, recessed X shape whose upper points reach to his pectoral given to him by Kozuki Oden.

Currently, he could be seen drinking carelessly, and right in front of him was a small child with long purple hair tied in a bun style.

The child was tall for his age at the height of 5'5 and he has a toned muscular build that was equivalent to a swimmer's build.

"Wororororo, why have you decided to come here, Orochi's kin? Do you not know me?" said Kaido as he laughed out loud causing the ground itself to vibrate which in turn made the child grin uneasily.

"First of all, I'm adopted. I'm not his actual child. Secondly, I want you to teach me," said the child as he has announced his intention straightforwardly since he knew from experience and the anime he used to watch that Kaido does not like cunning or two-faced type of people.

Kaido smashed down his drink right next to the child and glanced at him for a few moments with a serious expression.

"I don't want to teach you. I'm busy with someone else but even if I wasn't, why would I need to teach you, huh?" voiced Kaido, boredom thick in his voice.

The child confidently stepped forward as he stared at Kaido in the eyes without visible fear and he pointed his finger at his own chest.

"Simply because I want to kill you, Orochi and take over this country. As far as I recall, you love amazing battles and wants to die. Then teach me and I'll destroy you." annouced the child in a sincere tone as he grinned menacingly.

Kaido became speechless as he has no actual words to retort, however he grinned back and laughed out loud as if it was the funniest thing he ever but he knew the child was serious.

The other subordinates behind Orochi's child couldn't help but drop their jaws as they immediately thought that Kaido will execute the child for challenging him in his territory.

"Then I'll teach you along with my own kin. However even if I wanted to believe the fact you will succeed killing me, I cannot unless you prove otherwise. Do not disappoint me. At least, you're much more impressive more than my idiotic son," complained Kaido as he then ordered his subordinates to get him another drink as his mood was dampened once again.

Gray sat down comfortably in front of him and crossed his arms as he glanced at his new master that were once again drinking carelessly.

He sighed with relief as he didn't want to die early. His plan had paid off since he wanted to get strong even more further and the only way to achieve that was the teaching by one of the strongest individuals in this world.

He glanced at the subordinates behind Kaido and finding out that they weren't strong. His aura instantly enveloped the entire room causing everyone except Kaido to collapse like dominoes.

Kaido quickly became surprised but snapped back to reality as he grinned happily and drunkly stared at the child with a curious expression on his face.

"You didn't need to knock them out since you could just tell me you have [Conqueror Haki] since it's not that big deal so what was the reason, child?"

"Well, I needed to tell you something and I prefer it to be kept a secret since this [Devil Fruit] is quite dangerous and popular. What if they were a spies? Couldn't risk it, Master."

"A [Devil Fruit], huh. Interesting. What is it then?"

"Kaeru Kaeru No Mi"

~ Paradise Grand-line

Marineford is an island of the base of operations for Marine Headquarters. It is where Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the admirals reside, along with the many vice admirals and lower officers when they weren't assigned to another base.

The city surrounding Marineford was inhabited by the families of Marine soldiers.

In the main office of Fleet Admiral, there can be seen a man that was stroking his forehead with tired expression on his face.

These past ten years has took a toll on him.

Looking for the Pirate King's child which didn't succeed. Taking out the pirates that were influenced by the last words of Gold D. Roger which was difficult.

Choosing the correct individuals for Seven Worlds suggested by the World Government which he heavily disliked. There was still the matter of the Four Emperors.

He was honestly exhausted and didn't expect a lot of work in his position. He has many times felt like killing himself, especially when he has received many paper works.

He suddenly relaxed visibly and leaned back as there were complete silence and no works for him to be done. Unfortunately for him, the den mushi quickly made an noise prompting him to wake up and pick it up.

~Peru Peru Peru Peru

~Peru Peru Peru Peru

~ Gatcha

Fleet Admiral Sengoku put it near his mouth as he stared angrily at the snail that succeedly captures his nightmare's appearance as a snail which was quite frankly weird.

Snapping back to reality as he couldn't help but became annoyed as he then voiced out his complaints toward the den mushi.

"No more, Garp. You are not going back to your hometown. I'm tired by all this work and you're at home relaxing. How dare you?" screamed Sengoku, golden hue leaking out his physical body.

"Calm down, old man. A rice of crackers will calm your nerves. I learned it from experiences" informed Garp with a grin on his face, currently eating his snacks.

Sengoku almost threw the den mushi intending to smash the wall but luckily stopped as he started to breathe properly to control his temper.

Apparently, Garp has a grandson and went against the order as he went back to his hometown multiple time claiming that he needed to train his son and look after him.

However last time, he has claimed that this would be the last time but he went once again ignoring the orders he has given to him.

He couldn't deny the fact that Garp was amazing soldier and practically the strongest marine soldier at the moment but he could not stand his idiotic behaviour.

Suddenly, he heard a loud clamour located from the den mushi and instantly questioned Garp on what was going on.

"Oh apparently, there was a fight going on my ship. By the way, I brought an interesting child. He's quite powerful, However I do not like him. He gives me a wrong vibe. It's creepy as hell." complained Garp as he disgustingly put his finger up his nose.

"Hm, tell me about this interesting child then. "

"I don't want to. You have to guess, Goku," said Garp as he flicked out a boogey and amusedly grinned as he knowingly annoyed his old friend.

Sengoku quickly turned off the Den Mushi as he knew there was no point playing around with him and decided to called Garp's subordinate instead to gather information about the 'intersting child' that Garp has brought in his ship.

"Tell me about this kid," ordered Sengoku with a calm expression on his face.

"Yes, Fleet Admiral. Basically, this child is named Edwin Hubble and he is ten years old. What's alarming, sir, is the fact that he is able to fight against me at young age. He's dangerous." informed the lituentant as he gave urgent news with a flustered expression.

"He's powerful at such a young age. Does he have a [Devil Fruit]?"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral. He does have a [Devil Fruit]. However I do not understand what it is. Apparently, it is able to make the user teleport and warp physical attacks." said Bogard as he put on his cigarette to calm his nerves as he took it off and blew a circle smoke multiple of times.

Sengoku frowned with aghast expression on his face as he didn't like where was this going. He would need to pass this information directly to the World Government immediately if this child actually has that overpowered [Devil Fruit].

{ Monkey D. Garp's Marine Ship }

There can be seen a child that has spiky red hair, very pale skin, and red eyes. His eyes were narrow as if it was a snake. He was fairly lean with defined abs, muscular arms and legs.

Currently, he was facing toward Garp that were eating his rice crackers with overjoyed expression on his face and behind him was a soldier that was lying on the ground knocked out as he holds his waist with both arms.

He suddenly walked toward Garp and then tapped his knees a couple of times to capture his attention with serious expression on his face.

"What do you want brat?" questioned Garp, vexed thick in his voice.

"I want you to teach me. These marine soldiers are weak," said the child in a determined tone as he glanced at Garp.

"No. Do not ask me again. I do not like you. End of discussion, understood?" said in an exasperated tone as he put his finger inside his nose and then flicked it toward the boy.

However, the small thing that were flicked toward the child mysteriously disappeared in thin air as the child once again bothered Garp irrating his nerves.

"But what have I done to make you not like me? There has got to be a reason." asked Edwin with curious expression on his face as he knew he didn't do anything.

"Nothing, nada, nilch. But if you need a reason then I simply don't like your vibe. It's weird. Now go away, brat!" informed Garp as he waved his hand and looked for another snack.

This child was very mysterious since when Garp and his subordinates encountered him. They had found him alone with practically nothing in a small tropical island absent of any animals and people.

Add the fact that his vibe were eery and creepy as if he knew Garp and his subordinates to the point that he questioned himself if he had met the kid before.

But he was pretty sure he hasn't. Another reason that Garp didn't say was that usually whenever people give off that vibe just mean they weren't actually good people at all.

So to put it all up that his background, vibe and behaviour were weird. Garp has no intention of getting along with him and becoming attached.

"Fine then. I don't like you as well." said in a sincere tone by the child as he rotated around as he stepped toward the other soldiers with the intention of fighting once again.

Suddenly without any warning, Garp punches toward the child's head holding his true strength back with his fist but nevertheless still powerful attack.

Edwin sensed something in the air and quickly teleported behind Garp which made him turn around swiftly as he punched toward him again.

However this time, Edwin decided to teleport one of the weak soldiers in front of him to take the punch instead causing Garp ceased his attack right near the soldier's face unfortunately making the soldier trembled and fainted with piss under him.

"This is exactly why I do not like you."
