2 months before gods valley:
(Year: 1484):
Hachinose(pirate island)
"Push! We need to make sure this guy is born!" A man who seemed around 7'5 feet tall with blown back and up grey-white, and black stripped hair, a sporadic black beard, a scar line running down his left eye going from the fringe of where his hair starts at the top of the forehead, down the eyebrows directly over the eye and down the left cheek until it hits his sparse black mustache. A man whose presence on the sea would evoke respect, fear, and awe. And this fearsome warlord at this time was standing with drops of sweat on his forehead and a big smile on his lips.
"Ugh!!! Stop shouting! Or you take over giving birth!" A gorgeous young woman yelled at this fearful overlord. The woman had scarlet red hair. At this time, the long hair around her seemed to be levetating with haki.
"I'm sorry gloriosa, I'm just very excited." The man said, while holding the back of his neck.
"I know and I get it rocks.. ugh, just…" she turned and looked at the medic nurse. "Get this kid out!" She bellowed at the maid that was trembling in the corner.
"Y-yes! Right away ma'm'" the maid stuttered out. The maid hurriedly went and assumed the position, ready for the last push of the mom.
"Arghhhhhhhh" gloriosa yelled out as at last, the baby was born.
{Character creation start! Choose your character! Kidding lol}.
"It's a healthy young boy, ma'm." The young nurse said, and then wrapped the baby in a room temperature blanket and brought it to Gloriosa to view.
"Thank you, now get out", the man said with a soft but un-reproachable tone. "I'll call for you if we need you again". He said.
The nurse maid, turned pale and practically ran out of the room, as fast as her legs would take her.
"As expected of you rocks, you can't help but exude your momentum of an overlord". Gloriosa teased.
Rocks just shrugged and smiled, "it's who and what I am", he said as if it was just a fact of life. "Anyways, let me get a look at him." Rocks said as he came closer, picking out the child's looks.
"Well for better or worse, he doesn't seem to have any overt characteristics of yours which is what you were going for. Especially after you thought up the idea to inject Newgates dna into the fetus via the help of Stussy". Gloriosa said with mild annoyance. "Why even go the extra length to do that?", she asked a bit puzzled.
"Well, doesn't every parent want their child to be the best of the best to come?" Rocks said as if he meant it.
Gloriosa stared at rocks with a 'yeah of course I believe that' look. "Then why have a child with me when you have already had Teach with another woman 2 years earlier?" Gloriosa questioned.
Rocks sat on the chair by the bed and just sighed, "At first I wouldn't have had another kid, but honestly Teach has let me down. He's a coward and that's built in his soul, he has my ruthlessness, and coniving, but an increasing fear of the strong. I don't see a good future for him, and so I didn't put all the metaphorical eggs in 1 basket." Rocks said.
"That explains the second child, but why with me, and using newgates blood? I've been persuing you for 10 years and you never seemed to be interested". Gloriosa said matter of factly.
Rocks pinched his forehead as he explained, "I needed to make a child that had to potential to complete my families mission. Why Edward? Because out of the people we currently have access to, he is the most grounded, charismatic, naturally strong, and healthy person in the crew. He is honorable, loyal, and best of all has a heart. In the future if my son needs, he will have an ally in Whitebeard as his dad, in case anything happens to me. I can already see that this crew has almost no connection and sense of belonging". Rocks said with another long sigh.
"You knew?" Gloriosa asked.
"How could not know, the only reason I am strong enough to reign everyone in is because I've reached the overlord level in all 3 veins of haki. Of course my observation is easily big enough to monitor the whole island all the time…" Rocks took a sip of water. "As for why you, you are beautiful, charming, loyal, and strong. Out of the women on the crew you are only behind lin lin, but I'm not going to her with all her mental problems. The mixture of my strong characteristics + newgates + your genes, will allow for a mega fighter to be born. One who can lead, recruit, fight, rule, charm, and most of all, continue the bloodline!".
Gloriosa nodded lightly, combing out all these reasons and finding it reasonable. The nine snake island always prided themselves on the fact that the strongest among them should be the ruler of their whole island and group. So it made sense to her that rocks sought a strong heir with these bloodlines. "Then why are you glad he doesn't overtly look like you?" She asked.
"If I fail at any point, especially in the next action of the crew, the world government and its allies will never allow my sons or anyone related to me, or possibly looks like me, to survive. Especially in the case that some more ambitious fellows on my crew rebell at my weakest. Hence why teach has never been sent away earlier, and hidden among the Islands of the new world with his mom. He looks too much like me". Rocks patiently explained.
"So a backup measure In case". She said.
"Exactly! As long as he inherits my blood, he will inherit my mission. I also hope that he inherits Newgates natural charisma, and his heart. My strength, ruthlessness, ambition. Your charm and adaptability. In the end, the best aspects of each person. Plus if he can look more like a mix of you and Edward, then less people will try to kill him, even if they know he carries my blood. As the second in command of the rocks pirates, Newgate has this stregnth.". Rocks said with a sigh.
To be honest rocks didn't want to have to make all these backups up, but since he had met Imu in the past and his knowledge of the world and the final island, he tried to find the possible god fruits of one piece. The sun god fruit of joy boy, and the possible darkness logia fruit. It was not confirmed wether the darkness fruit was a god fruit and rocks had been trying to get it confirmed which led to the annoying knights of god infiltrating Beehive island while the rocks pirates were away and stealing the darkness logia fruit rocks had hidden. He found out through the grape vine, it had been brought to the soon to happen, every 3 year human hunting competition…
"If you know that you might fail at this upcoming event, why go?" Gloriosa asked concerned.
"If it wasn't for that fruit being taken, I would have kept growing and biding my time, till we were more cemented and ready. I would also have had more time to convince Harold, to join, or get my crew in line. But they are all here for their own purposes, and I don't have the emotional heart or way of ruling that can truly recruit them, so I will leave a book that has been passed down and continuously added to, to this son of mine, and a this plaque, and a note." Rocks said seriously.
"Why not send me away with him to nine snake island?". Gloriosa added.
"Firstly, you won't be able to bring him back there, since your island only accepts women, and it would stand out too much. Plus If you randomly leave now, the ambitious members of the crew will ask why you left and why I allowed it. It'll break the cohesion of the group. Considering Lin Lin also had kids and was forced to stay here too. I must at least be impartial to all of them and not give them any weaknesses.". Rocks replied.
She sighed and said, "That's makes sense".
"If worst comes to worst at this battle, I'll ask Newgate to get you out of the battle safely when he breaks out. Plus, if this is the case, then place this son in a treasure chest and toss him into the sea at this island, fate will guide him to survive or fail". Rocks said seriously. Rocks was a believer in the will of D, and believed in the fate his family had in this world. So this was also a form of a test to the will of the world, on his bet for the future.
"Fine. I will do as you asked, but if this child dies because of your wishes, then I'll be pissed at you after I die too". Gloriosa said with an edge.
"Fine fine!". Rocks replied fast, "thank you again". He said softly. "Now let me get a look at him!" Rocks said, his demeanor happy and with a smile on his face.
"Hah! You finally got around to checking out your son, here". Gloriosa gently handed the baby over to Rocks.
"His name will be Rocks D. Jace". Rocks said with a smile looking at the baby in his arms. Jace was of a reddish white complexion, since he was just born, and didn't have any hair yet. Though his eyes, were a shocking ice blue eyes. When Rocks's eyes met the babies, he noted that the baby seemed to have a slight blue white lighting arc that barely zapped out once.
"Did he just?!" Gloriosa asked in shock.
"Hahahaha! Inherent Conquerors haki! What a gift, this son of mine will definitely complete my mission should I fall!" Rocks said with exuberance and joy. "Though it makes considering all three of us have conquerors haki. But this would make my son the youngest ever awakener of conquerors haki." Rocks said in a tiny bit of shock but still filled with joy. He felt that he was right to have another kid, and only wished that he would be able to see him grow up, or for his son to grow up well and become a god that he wished he could be.
"This kids going to be a absolute monster of a person". Gloriosa said. Meaning a future unstoppable force.
"Indeed he will be, haha! Good luck king of the world". Rocks said the second half under his breathe.
What they both didn't notice was a sense of confusion in the eyes of that newborn child, as if he was thinking, "where the hell am I?!".
Just like that, a new life that would shake the one piece world, was chucked into the stream of events. An anomaly that will change the future path that must be charted.
