"A young man was walking on the sidewalk. People who were walking by the teenager seemed to think that he was a heartless bastard when they heard him cursing someone on his phone with colourful words, but he was just an unfortunate soul who got caught up in someone's scheme to become rich, and from what he heard from his family when Leo was snooping around, it completely changed when Leo came to the realisation about who they really are.
A flashback wouldn't hurt; please bear with me.
When Leo's father was alive, he was happy all the time. The smile on his face was so infectious that it could brighten the whole world. When MC Anton Leon was ten years old, his father died in a car crash. What shocked him was his mother's second marriage to another man after his father's death. But it was too quick. Anton was a mature boy, so he believed that his mother deserved some happiness.
But that's where his problems started.
Soon after their marriage, his mother became pregnant and gave birth to a son, Alexander Pierce. Though he was asked to change his second name, he refused, stating that the name is the only memory he has of his father.
Leon is now in a pitiful state because he is always blamed for his half-brother's faults by taking the blame for breaking his stepfather's favourite vase.
When Alex slept with his girlfriend, he was the one who was at fault here.
These types of incidents start to occur again and again, leading to one of the ideologies he learnt from the mockery of others: do not trust anyone, always hide your true intentions behind a smile, and be the best at everything you do.
He longed for freedom from the clutches of his so-called parents.
As years passed
When he was eighteen, he was happy that he was going to leave the house. On that same day, his father's lawyer, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came to the house to read his will. In that will, his father had left him five hundred million dollars as well as ten luxury houses around the U.S. . This news was heard by his mom as well. After the lawyer left, she straight-up strode towards him and demanded the money be handed over to her, but Leon refused. Leon's mother started to yell at him about financial responsibilities, and his stepfather and stepbrother sat on the couch watching everything silently, but Leo didn't budge to his mother's demands.
He started to pack up his things and walked out of the house. When he was walking out of the house, he remembered that he had forgotten that his diploma certificate file was still in his room. When he returned to the place he called home, that's when he heard what they were saying.
'We should kill the boy too, just like we killed the boy's father at that time, but you are the one who stopped me.'
'Yeah, if you killed him at that time, we could never get money from his uncle. I have to act like I love that man and I'm the one who bore the son for that idiot and play house with him for money. Let's get rid of him now, because now he has control over the money. If Leo dies now, we will get the money because we are immediate family for Leo.
Then let me do the deed, the stepfather stepped up.
Leon, who had been recording all of this, quickly ran away. He felt betrayed; his own mother betrayed him for another man, and his mother's betrayal had stung the most; tears were flowing freely from his eyes. He contacted the lawyer who read the will. Leon went to the lawyer's firm and asked about his family from his father's side. After hearing about certain things, he was shocked beyond belief. His father is the eldest son and heir to one of the richest families in America. Even after he got out of the family, he developed a company and made it one of the successful companies in the U.S., all for marrying a woman he loved and eventually betrayed by the same woman.
Leon decided
He will live.
He will make sure that his inheritance will not be signed off to any scum.
Leon has a determined look in his eyes.
Leon approached the law firm where his lawyer came from.
Leon handed over both the recording and his will.
Then he designed a will that, if he dies, every asset that belongs to him will return to his father's side of the family until he changes the will, and he left the phone recording in the care of his lawyer, who is also handling Leon's father's side of the family business's legal advisor.
Leon started to walk outside after handing over his will. Leo started to walk towards his friend's house to have some peace time for himself at that time.
At that time a truck was speeding down the road. Before Leon could realise what was going on, he was hit by the truck. The last thing the MC remembers is his half-brother's mocking voice. You should have signed over the money; then you wouldn't have ended up in this state, brother. Now all the money that belongs to us. Hearing this, the MC's corner of the lips rose up before he died.
If Leon could move right now, he would have laughed outright at this idiot's face.
When Leon opened his eyes again, he was actually alive. When he tried to stand up, he noticed that his hands and legs were unresponsive. That's when he started to notice his surroundings. An old woman was looking at him kindly when her hands came in contact with Leon's skin. He had a vision of the woman's life when she touched him. Leon felt like he lived her life.
That's when Leon realised the kind of messed-up world he was in. In the world of One Piece, in a world where logic is in a thousand pieces. And according to the time he is in, it must be a few years after the incident of God Valley. From his memory, he could easily determine the year: 1489. The old woman said his name, which shocked him: Portgas D. Leon.
How come my name is Portgas? Doesn't the name belong to the wife of Gol D. Roger?'
So my father is the Pirate King? Well, maybe. Who knows?
So maybe that's one of the reasons why I was abandoned; it could be that he is the son of Gol D. Roger due to his level of threat, and Cypher Pol Marines may have been ordered to kill any offspring of a strong pirate to make sure they don't become a threat in the future.
But my current predicament is even worse. In this world, strength is everything; without strength, your voice will not be heard. These monsters of the World Government will kill me without having a second thought, or they will try to brainwash me, and make me serve the Celestial Dragon. I have no interest in serving those pigs.
For now, I have to bide my time.
Wait a minute; now I realise something: how can I be able to read her memories?
Isn't this special type of Haki used by Patrick Redfield?
It is one of the most unbelievable cheats, only bestowed on one in a billion people in this world.
This reality is giving me headache from the start and I'm already feeling tired.
I'm going to sleep any kind of thinking work should be done later times.
