04 | Mind Reading & Realization

How wronged Brock was, who thought his rough birth was because of insufficient advanced medical equipment, Perhaps this is special care travelers receive from the world.

I am officially one month old, and I have figured out many things about my parents, one of which is that my father is some sort of aristocrat here, and he has a huge influence on this island, Birka, which is 17–20 km in diameter and about 700–950 m in depth. He is strong like a small superman; I saw him easily lift a large boulder that I believe may weigh around 5-7 tonnes.

My mother is disliked here, and secondly, she is smart, she knows how to avoid trouble, and she is very skilled at handling things. I believe she is concealing a lot of information. I mean a lot. I can see she's sad behind her smile, and it's not because of what's going on in Birka.

My headache stopped ten days ago, but I am still terrified. I believe these ten days will be the finest of my infant days. Should I see how much my perception improved or degraded, I hope it's the former because this was the second time I desperately tried to focus on perception.

Soon, I notice that I am feeling a little different than usual. I can detect a wide spectrum of alien items, and I can even detect emotions or determination from ants transporting food to nearby ant hills.

Many objects passed through my perception. I can practically feel if there is something hidden in them, and I feel depressed when I expand my perception to the graveyard, where I feel a dreadful stretch and a lot of negative energy.

I feel I can control or avoid the region I want. I sigh in satisfaction as I have already exceeded the 600m range, I continue to concentrate, and after 1.3km I feel some mild headache. When my perception rose to 2.4 km, I felt a severe headache, so I stopped.

"Wow, that was one heck of an upgrade," I thought to myself. "It's fascinating to feel omniscient."

Soon after, I dropped my perception to 600 m, which I am comfortable with; my brain can readily manage that quantity of information while consuming almost no energy.

…..

…..

In the days that followed, I focused a portion of my perception on Mom because I wanted to learn more about her. I am thoroughly enjoying the process of becoming more acquainted with her behavior, routines, and intent behind her emotions, which resulted in a chain reaction. Finally, I could sense her thoughts.

'Brock, it's mealtime.' I felt her mind process and let out a loud cry, but my protest was in vain. I saw her lifting me up from the baby crib, and I could feel 'Brock's Dark History +1' floating in my head.

…..

'Ahh, Fuza, my darling, I'm sorry, but I think I'll be leaving soon.' "Is she having nightmares?" I wonder as I see her snuggle deeper into her father's embrace. I thought for a moment and decided to concentrate more on her.

…..

I eventually figured out her history, with hints from her nightmare like "Pirate invasion", "Arabasta supporting pirate", "RumHaven Massacre", "Guard sacrifice", "Fleeing towards Jaya island", "Captured as Slave", and "hit Knock-up Stream" being more than enough to figure out where the fuck I am, and what happened to her.

How I wish I could go back in time. How I wished I was wrong, seeing through hints in her Nightmares. How I wish I could delete hints in my brain.

But I can't change reality now, can I? I have to accept the harsh reality that I am born in Pirate World, where individuals have power rivaling that of nuclear weapons, and murdering a few dozen in a single go is common everywhere, it would be nothing short of a miracle if pirates didn't attack a registered island within three years.

I calmed down after the initial panic, which lasted two days. I started looking for more timeline clues because Birka doesn't use the same calendar as Blue Sea.

I also began to feel creepy, thinking of the absurd amount of control the World Government has over the Blue Sea. I didn't feel much from watching anime in my previous life, but thinking of more than 200 countries sharing the same language and culture and being forced to pay protection fees despite being separated by more than 50K km gives me goosebumps in my baby back.

(A/n: The estimated radius of One Piece World is 17200 km, I googled it :) . )

I resolved to never mess with them until I gained control of one of the ancient weapons or create a new fourth ancient weapon myself.

…..

…..

According to the Blue Sea timeline, I am born in 1491, almost 9 years before the execution of One Piece. According to anime information, Roger should come looking for Shandora in about 4-5 years.
