3rd POV*
Inside one room, one overweight woman can be seen stuffing her self with various treats. The woman has an enormous physique, standing at 880 centimeters or just shy of 29 feet tall, which is the largest known height for any human. The said woman is Charlotte Linlin, one of the strongest beings on the sea. She stopped eating for a second as a bright smile appeared on her face. "Ma ma ma ma, that bastard Kaido has a great stamina. I was satisfied" she said patting her stomach. She can already feel a life dwelling on it, she is quite excited to what lifeform will be born from the union of 2 strong beings. Her action was seen by her children who only had a complicated expression on their faces, they know that next year they will be welcoming another member of their already large family.
Linlin smiled as she remembered the conversation she had with Kaido who is obviously reluctant.

Linlin was just fulfilling her desire of eating when a great idea entered her mind, she ordered her children to make a call with Kaido using the den den mushi. The call went it as the drunken voice of Kaido entered her ears. "Hm? What do you want old hag?" His choice of words made Linlin angry, "You ungrateful bastard! Is this how you treat your benefactor?!" she snapped shouting at the phone. Her children didn't comment on her attitude as they were used seeing their mother raging from simple things. "Hah? Shut up old hag! I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now!" Kaido responded in kind further infuriating Linlin. She stopped herself from being angry as she needed to push this plan out. "Kaido, I have a great proposal. Hear me out" she said.
Kaidou who took another drink was stunned hearing her words. "Wororororo! You have gone senile old hag" he sneered laughing out loud. He couldn't believe that that mad woman said something like that, he also considered her proposal as rubbish because nothing that came out of her mouth are good and serious. His words greatly angered Linlin so she used her card that would make Kaido submit to her. "Mamama, Kaidou you seemed to have forgotten my good will. Your debt, its time to cash it out" she said making Kaidou stop drinking. Black lines appeared on his forehead from the mere thought about it, "What are you on" he asked with serious tone. He just can't let this chance go, this might become a way to lose that hateful debt of his. "Kaidou, have you ever thought, of making the greatest warrior?" she said making Kaidou shudder. "Hag.. you don't mean.." he thought about a horrible idea which was confirmed bt Linlin's words. "Let's make a child!" she shouted as the sound of something breaking was heard.

-Present Time.
In East Blue, a young man can be seen looking at the sky with strange expression on his face, he is wondering whether everything is just a dream but the realistic sensation of wind slapped that thought out of his head. He scratched the back of his head wearing an annoying expression, he cannot fathom how such thing could happen. He was just visiting the house of his weird relatives when he suddenly opened his eyes feeling already different from his usual body. Instead of the skinny body that he used to have, now he is currently using a body that has 6 foot height and slightly bulky muscles. He could also feel immense strength dwelling on those muscles, as if he could destroy a whole house if he try seriously punching it. Nothing make sense at first but when memories entered his head, he got a better understanding of things.
He is from the infamous Charlotte family, being headed by one of the Four Emperor of the sea. His memories of the past when he was just a child are vague but he can still remember why he is currently in East Blue instead of Totto Land. In simple terms, during one of the rampage of Big Mom, her rational mind was clouded with anger making her order the servants to throw everything on her room to the sea. Among those items are the infant body of the young man right now, it was amazing how they didn't recognize his body and just threw him in one of the ships that will sail immediately. Fortunately his body was strong enough to shoulder the impact of it being thrown away on a hard wood. The ship was one of the importer of foods that Big Mom loved so it is now returning to its home which is in East Blue. That is how his story went, he just don't know who is his real Father is but he is not that concerned considering how many husbands Big Mom had.
"This is messed up" the young man muttered while grasping his black hair. His face is handsome, handsomeness that delve further more on the manly than beauty. Clear jawline, thick sword like eyebrow that enhanced his appeal more. He clearly know this world as he read some of it in his past life, he is just lamenting that he didn't finish everything. "Now.. what should I do?" He muttered knowing the situation he is currently in, specifically the trouble that is dwelling on the place he is standing. He shook his head and just went to a place he usually spend time. After walking for a few minutes, a mikan grove appeared on his view along with beautiful blue haired woman taking care of it. He walked to her and smile, "Nojiko, where's Nami?" he asked.
The woman named Nojiko turned her head towards the young man and smiled, "Cedric, she went to the sea again" she gave him a wry smile. Cedric sighed, "She went on her own this time huh? I'll wait for her, can I come in?" he asked as Nojiko just gestured him to enter. "Are you sure you'll wait? It might take a long time" Nojiko asked while peeling a mikan before giving it to Cedric. "Its fine, I have a feeling that she will be arriving soon" Cedric took the mikan and started eating it. Nojiko smiled at young man infront of her, he is the main reason why both she and Nami are still standing strong today, he provided them a reliable shoulder to lean on, specially on the day Bell'mere died. He is strangely mature for a child, became their guardian protecting them from the ruly attempts of the adults around.
"Hn? What are you staring at?" The only problem is that he doesn't open himself up and prefer to think about things alone. This caused some trouble for the sisters because they also wanted to help him but his stubborness failed them. "Nothing, I just think that you are a blessing for us. Thank you for always being on our side Cedric" she said smiling knowing what his reaction will be. Cedric just stared at her with strange gaze, he is not really used to compliments like this so he always wore this expression everytime this happen. Nojiko giggled seeing the usual strange expression on his face, it is pretty amusing for her to see him getting blank out because he doesn't know to respond about things like that. "Stop it Nojiko, its disturbing" he said looking away.
The two of them talked a bit more before the door was finally opened. "I'm back!" A young Nami appeared and from the knowledge of Cedric, he know that it is only a year before Nami will meet the strawhat. "Oh? Cedric you're here, what brings you here?" Nami was surprised by his presence since he even though his house is just beside theirs he rarely entered their home. "I was waiting for you, we need to talk about something important" Cedric immediately went to the point because he finds it hard to handle Nojiko's amused gaze. "Huh? Are you here to ask beri? I won't give you anything!" Nami became defensive as she hugged the bunch of beri she is currently holding. Cedric massaged his forehead, "No, its about Arlong" he said causing silence to descend into the room.
The mere mention of that name brought heavy emotions from the girls. Nami erased her playful act and sat down on the chair. "Why did you brought his name here?" Nami asked seriously, she really hated Arlong so Cedric talking about it caused her some surprise. Nojiko also perked her ears to what Cedric will say, she has never seen him look serious like this, even though he always wore a serious expression. "Nami.. I wish to eradicate the Arlong Pirate" after taking a huge breathe Cedric revealed his intention. Nami and Nojiko froze for a second before they looked at each other, "Sigh, if you came just to joke like this then its a waste of time. I still need to count to Beri that found today so I'll go first" Nami shook her head and was about to go when Cedric's hand held her arm. "No, I'm serious Nami" he stated.
Nami flinched hearing his words as she slowly looked at him, "Cedric even as a joke this is far too much. What would you do if those guys came here and heard what you said?" she said with grave expression on her face. He and Nojiko is her only pillars left so she rather not have him joke like this. "Why are you so adamant in not trusting me? We have been partners in the sea for too long right?" Cedric asked with his lips twitching. He know that what he is speaking sounds unreasonable for the two specially for Nami who knows just how powerful Arlong is. "Please.. stop this" Nami grabbed his shirt and begged him, she doesn't want to see him do stupid things and suffer from it. Cedric saw this and realize that they will not believe in those nonsense unless they see something supernatural themselves, he grabbed Nami's hands and dragged her outside.
"Instead of doing pointless talking, I prefer showing action" Cedric looked around and luckily saw some fishman patrolling this area. He went towards them making Nami horrified from his actions. "Stop Cedric! You can't do this, they will really kill you!" she said trying to pull him back but his immense strength made her unable to. "We have been traveling in the sea for so long yet you never realize my real strength is. Though it may be reasonable considering that you only do the stealing yourself" Cedric muttered confusing Nami, but she still tried stopping him from doing the impossible. Cedric patted the fishman on its shoulder as it turned towards him. "Hey, you stink. Smell like a dead fish" he said as a eerie silence appeared. Nami internally despaired as she witness him provoking the fishman, the fishman also widened his eyes at his words.
It was unbelievable for him to hear a mere human spout such words, specially a kid that is always hiding behind Nami. "You damn human!" The fishman didn't hesitate and lunged himself at Cedric, he is not that important because Arlong only favored Nami. Seeing the Fishman take action, Nami screamed, "No!!" she closed her eyes waiting for the miserable end of Cedric only to hear to loud bang. She shakily opened her eyes with tears already threatening to pour on it. "See?" she heard his voice as she gaze at the front of her, in there was body of the Fishman missing its lower half. The scene was gruesome but Nami chose to ignore that, she is more focused on the fact that Cedric is alive. "What - What just happened?" she asked shivering not knowing what just happened.
"Sigh why did you even close your eyes. Now watch this closely" he said turning his attention to the other Fishman, he raised his fist and plunged it at the unfortunate guy causing his upper body to blow into pieces. Nami widened her eyes in shock at the scene, it is one of the most shocking thing she has ever witness before because in her mind, it is stoned that no human will be able to win against Fishman. They have 10x strength of a normal human so it is impossible to win agaisnt them. That's what she usually believe but now that rule is slowly breaking being outshined by the existence of the young man infront of her. "Cedric.." she muttered as the man looked away from her dazed eyes. "Now, wait for me here, I'll destroy them within a day" he said walking away leaving the stunned Nami alone.
