1 Chapter 1: Aegis Island

Unknown and vast

Inside the Red Line lies many secrets, mysteries, and unnamed creatures unbeknownst to many. But even with this enigmatic place, majority of people are focused in one part of the world where riches and adventures starts; The Grand Line.

If one happens to see the current world map, the two lines; there's a Red Line that represents the vast land, while the Grand Line who represents the vast sea, intersect and connected, in which of these two divides the four known Seas; the West Blue, North Blue, South Blue and the East Blue.

While on the outer part that covers the Grand Line and is paralleled to it, the Calm Belt.

And in one part of this four seas, starts the story of a young boy who holds the unknown symbol of the disaster where world noble feared. The "D". . .

But in this story, focused on one specific man...

: : :

Aegis Island... Although prosperous and harmonious, only a handful of people know the exact location of this island located at East Blue that resides at the border of the Red Line. Adding to which, very few people had the access to enter from it.

The World Government... One of many countries that provides technology and ideas to navy headquarters happens to be of in this place.

Aegis Island on the other hand is a country where renowned mechanic resides; the Rotor Company.

It is the company who lived for hundreds of years and supplying the Navy when needed. It is also the Rotor Company who made this island prosper ever since, thanks to its founder, Rotor D. Aegis which an island and country named after──whilst, making it one of many named country in this world that is directly protected and intentionally hidden by the World Government.

Of course, just like how only a handful of people know the island, the company and the island itself is secluded to the world as it continues to prosper in peace and silence.

Anyway,

In this country currently lived the father and son; Rotor D. Apache and Rotor D. Sikorsky who, the latter happens to be the main character of this story.

This island is too normal if one has an ordinary insight, but because technology was introduced, people didn't stop racking their brain from innovating new things and create any method they came up to.

Even though ordinary looking trees could be seen from everywhere, if one tried to take a peek carefully, one can see that each tree in this place has screws and uses metal as its trunk.

With its natural growth and the combination of technology, it doesn't actually affect its ability to grow or reproduce fruits. This mentioned trees exclusive on this island has the other name called the Cyborg Trees.

Using mechanical skills and the ability of nature such as earth, grass, and trees combine. The generation of Rotor Family uses it well and innovate new types of inventions, such as these said trees.

The island is not an Aegis Island for nothing as this land can defend even the Navy's popular bombardment; known as the Buster Call.

That is, according to the Rotor ancestor. My and my father ancestor.

"Oy son of a metal! are you gonna stare in daze again or are you gonna help me here?!"

As I am in daze, the obnoxious voice of my father enters my ear.

Although he's an old man of his 40's contrary to his face and body, his voice is like that of a prepubescent. Other than that, he is what others called a 'chad'. Thanks to his occupation, you couldn't see even one fat but muscles out of his body. That is, if you didn't try to take a look of his thin torso and hear his voice.

With sleeveless shirt, pants and with mechanical tools hanging, he is more like a construction worker than a mechanic.

"What? Is there something on my face? Come on! Help your papa, this is your thing, alright!" he said so as I stared at him hammering while hanging.

"Nothing, just. . .I never thought I have a dad like you" I chuckle and resumed what I was doing, at the same time vein popped out of his head.

"Tsk, unruly brat! Never forget that this isn't my job okay? I don't even know when will the time I've call for my 'real' job! so we have to atleast finish it!" he snort whilst exhaling his tobacco that he sticking on his mouth.

"I know, I know that's why. . .I can't thank you enought but...thank you papa"

"W-waaaa!" from my words, he choked up and almost dropped his tobacco, the hammer, and the plies he is holding and where he is hanging.

"Unruly brat! Alright, don't call me papa again! just father is enough!" He looked embarrassed though as his face reddened. "You son of a gun, ever since that day you've really change, jeez" he muttered.

I hear you loud and clear you know that? I can't help it and only shake my head off.

"Thanks, father. . .even though this isn't your forte. You helped me" I murmur, enough to enter his ears.

"Bah, its my son's so why won't I help? Don't worry, we'll build this to be the not just strongest but also toughest out there! Enough that those who witnessed its dreadnought appearance, will flee in fear!" he pumped his chest proudly while saying so.

"I know I know, just don't shout, your high pitch voice irritates me" He then silently zipped his mouth after my words.

'Dreadnought, huh. Not bad' is what I thought.

Anyway, this guy, is really my father, right? *Sigh*, so this is what it feels like to have a supporting father, huh. Not a bad feeling at all. I can't help but smile and happiness fills my stomach as if butterfly encroaching in it.

It's been a month since that fateful day that I started living in this world. Although it happens too fast to think, I didn't think ponder now and instead focused on what's into the future. And with that in mind, I continue my work.

"Lunch! Mr. Apache, Sky!"

A voice of a young lady resounded, as me and my father glance to where it came from. Of course, this familiar voice is none other than Jiyah. . .

She's one of my three closest childhood friend. Sikorsky's friend.

With green curly and short hair, snow white soothed skin and gentle smile, she is called the "Gentle Acrobat" Jiyah by the people of this island.

Unlike her calm and gentle appearance, she's performing dangerous and most breathtaking stunt to entertain people, which is acrobatics. And in this country, she's the most skilled, flexible and brave woman to boot.

And just like my other two childhood friend, she's one of those 'Three Miracles of Aegis'. Of course, that is before my taking over this body.

"W-what? Is there something on my shoulder?" Jiyah questioned when I woke up in dazed and loosened the time during my memory jumbled. A 30 years old me, a 14 year Sikorsky, and the unknown creature called Slime.

The moment I realize it, that is where my memory as Rotor D. Sikorsky completely destroyed or more like, it muddled. So everyone in town knows this complication of mine and took it as an 'mild amnesia'.

After all, its hard not to become popular if your father himself adding our surname, Rotor is a popular one in town.
