Year 2020. Somewhere in East Blue.
An uninhabited island.
A barren land of sand and mountains, surrounded by endless sea.
On the shore lay a seventeen-year-old boy, asleep—
until his eyes suddenly snapped open.
Shock. Confusion. Disbelief.
Memories flooded his mind—
a life that was not his… yet undeniably belonged to this body.
He realized who he was.
And more importantly—what awaited him in the future.
Once the truth settled in, he made a decision.
If fate had given him a second chance, he would not waste it.
He searched the island for anything that could help him survive or escape.
Hours passed with little success.
Then he looked up.
Huge birds filled the sky, flying straight toward him.
Realizing they were hostile, the boy fought back.
It was a brutal struggle—
but he won.
As the final bird fell, it dropped a small chest.
Inside was an orange, strangely shaped fruit.
And so, his journey began.
The rise of a man destined to become
the Fire Imperator.
