.
I closed the Logbook and followed Raki excitedly to meet with those boys after making an important choice for my goal.
We reached the meeting place to see the boys are training- minus Wyper.
“Hey!
Raki, why do you call us to meet here?” Kamakiri complained, spotting us, and pointing at the remote area near the beach.
“He wants to say something, so I called you guys,” Raki revealed, pointing at me as I beamed at them.
“You kid, don’t waste our training time,” Braham grumbled.
“We are the ones to protect the light of Shandora,” Braham proclaimed as the other two nodded in agreement.
“Where is that ‘Grumper’?” I asked, looking around as they snickered at the nickname.
“I will ask a serious question,” I expressed, looking serious, as they waited for my question.
“Where do you think I lived in Upper Yard?” I questioned excitedly, as they looked blank.
“Did you call us here just to ask this stupid question?” Kamakiri shouted angrily, along with the other two.
“With Short-tempered guys like you, the future of Shandora will be so great,” I mocked them disdainfully.
“Why you…!” Kamakiri growled, ready to fight before being stopped by Raki.
“Stop!
Listen to him fully before complaining,” she urged.
“I live in the Golden City of Shandora,” I smugly revealed, as they looked dumbfounded.
“*Sigh* let’s go, it’s a waste of time,” Braham grumbled, walking away.
“You ‘blind’ idiot, see here.
If you can, with your stupid eyes covered like that,” I yelled at him, pointing at the photo displayed in the vision dial.
“Ta-da, this is the ancient city of Shandora,” I announced smugly, as four pairs of eyes are glued to the photo of the beautiful golden city.
‘They only know about a device alerting my memory loss, so they are clueless about my watch’s function.’ I waited for their reaction, but they just stared at the photo, mesmerized.
“Um!
Did you guys get stuck?” I called as they look frozen.
I waved the visual dial as the picture moved around.
Their eyes followed along with it.
“Do you guys think of yourself as a cat?” I yelled in frustration and closed it.
“NOOO!” those four shouted in desperation.
“If you don’t shut up, I will erase it,” I threatened, placing my finger on the dial’s apex.
They quickly shut their mouths, “Er- is that real?” Genbo asked excitedly/nervously.
“No, I just made it up,” I stated deadpan as he withered in disappointment.
“Idiot!
He is lying.” Braham smacked Genbo.
“Hey ki… *ahem* warrior, can you show me that again?” he flattered me as others looked expectedly.
“Didn’t someone say I’m wasting their time to train?” I teased, examining my nails seriously.
“I showed what I wanted.
You can continue your training,” I sneered, blowing air on my nails.
They looked at each other.
“Hey!
Come on, you can’t be serious.
Who would train now?” Kamakiri declared, dropping his spear as others made up their reasons and dropped their weapons.
“Since you guys asking so kindly, I will show it,” I sighed haughtily, “But it won’t be free,” I implied as they look hesitant.
“Don’t worry, it will be easy and not against your morals,” I promised as they relented.
“Since you accepted it, Kamakiri will teach me to wield Spear,” I announced as Kamakiri nodded affirmatively.
“Braham will teach me to shoot,” I continued, gesturing my finger like a gun.
He nodded.
It can’t be helped, adults ignore me so I can only get the next best thing.
“From now on, Genbo will cook food for me,” I ordered.
He agreed reluctantly.
“That’s it for now,” I concluded, walking with my hands back.
It looks extremely funny, four kids standing attentive while a smaller kid is walking in front like a teacher inspecting students.
“What about me?” Raki wondered, pointing at herself.
“Since you took care of me these days, I will make an exception now,” I smiled at her as she whooped in joy to others’ envy.
“Oh!
What about that brainless idiot?” I queried.
They looked at each other, knowing whom I was talking about.
Kamakiri huffed, then readied to run and bring him.
“Wait!
Before you go, I need to tell you guys something.” I grinned mischievously.
“I’m going to prank Wyper.
Whatever I say, you all should agree, and especially do not laugh,” I instructed, smirking at the plan prepared for Wyper.
“Otherwise you can forget about this,” I threatened, shaking the Vision Dial.
After that, Kamakiri ran to bring the ‘goods’.
As we were waiting, the other nagged me to show the photo, annoying me.
Kamakiri arrived panting, dragging Wyper behind him, then dropped him in front of us.
“What the hell are you doing?” Wyper yelled, punching Kamakiri on the head in anger.
His anger increased after looking at us.
Before he could start his rant, I displayed the photo of Golden City choking him on his words.
He stared intently at the photo; others also looked mesmerized.
I displayed it for a while and closed it.
“What!?
you…” Wyper shouted, regaining his senses, looking angrily for turning it off.
Others stopped him as he calmed down.
“What is that place?
you….?” Wyper asked doubtfully.
“It is our home, the city of Shandora,” Raki whispered, still not believing it to be true.
“Impossible, how can it be?” Wyper denied.
“We have been at war for many years and no one found it!” Wyper reasoned logically as everyone thought about it.
“You must be lying.
It’s some kind of set-up,” he accused me.
“*Scoff* why should I lie to you?
What benefit does it bring?” I retorted, “I can spend my days leisurely even if I don’t show you,” I pointed out.
“I don’t know.
You may need something from us,” Wyper protested unwillingly.
“Oh!
Do tell me, what do you guys have that I don’t?” I asked with disdain.
“Dials, weapons, or your leaf for pants,” I listed, sneering at his leaves for pants.
“I have everything you have and above all else, I have a whole city,” I declared to him.
“What, that’s our home?” Wyper yelled in protest.
“WAS!” I bellowed, silencing him.
“This was your home, that was your island,” I implied, pointing at the vision dial.
He became silent while others looked down.
I somewhat felt guilty, but it needed to be done.
“Now that island is theirs and this city is Mine, and no one knows of its existence,” I told them the fact.
“Since we know about it now, we need to tell Chief,” Wyper exclaimed suddenly and tried to run before I tripped him with my tail.
“You idiot, how is that going to help?
Can you be sure that Shandians can win this time after fighting for many years?” I questioned Wyper, who was lying on the ground.
“Besides, the chief probably knows its existence,” I mumbled doubtfully.
“And if your desperate fight alerts Skypiean, they will find the city before you.
What will you do then?” I questioned, calming them down.
“The city will be safe for now, if you guys keep quiet about it,” I warned them.
They sat in silence, thinking about various things while I was updating the reminder on my watch.
It will automatically transfer the details from the reminder note to the Logbook.
“If it is like this, then why did you show it to us?” Raki questioned.
“If you didn’t tell us, everything would have been normal and we will be blissfully unaware of it,” Raki pointed out the details.
“Oh!
I thought of bringing you guys to the city before it gets destroyed,” I blurted out subconsciously, without thinking of the consequence.
“WHAT!?” they shouted anxiously.
“Shit!
Don’t shout.
Do you want to bring everyone here?” I scolded as they shut their mouth.
“Even if you don’t shout, I will bring you guys there, don’t worry,” I promised them, not realizing the reason for their shout.
“Not that,” Kamakiri shouted, waving his hand in panic.
“What!
you don’t want to come?” I questioned him in surprise.
“Of course!
I will come.
Do I look like an idiot?
And don’t try to change the subject,” he shouted, almost forgetting about my blunder.
“Yeah, you told something about being destroyed,” Braham reminded me from the side.
“What are you guys talking about?” I questioned, looking confused.
“You told us that you will bring us to the city before it gets destroyed, right?” Raki claimed seriously.
“Yeah, so what?” I asked, acting confused.
“How is it going to be destroyed?” Wyper growled.
“Oh!
That…, why are your guys focused on it?” I asked, bewildered.
“You should focus on ‘going to the city’, ignore that part,” I suggested, ‘what’s wrong with you?’ look.
“You are the one focusing wrongly!” they yelled angrily.
“Tell us!
What do you mean by that?
And how do you know what’s going to happen in the future?” Wyper demanded.
“Are you an idiot?
I’m obviously dragging after that tongue slip, so I don’t want to tell you,” I expressed as they became desperate.
‘What to do now?
I accidentally blurted it,’ I panicked internally.
‘Escape from here?
No!
Tell the truth?
It’s Unbelievable!
Create a story?
Yes,’ I looked for a solution before remembering the prank made for Wyper.
“Oh!
The stupid memory attack won’t arrive at the moment,” I mumbled, but they heard it.
“You asshole, tell us quick; before you forget everything,” Genbo shouted in panic.
“Even if I tell you; you can’t stop it from happening,” I finally relented.
They became silent, gazing firmly, not giving up.
“Ok, I will tell you, but you can’t say it to anyone; even the person you are close with, until your death,” I insisted.
They yelled ‘yes’ without thinking about it.
“Think carefully and reply.
I will give you five minutes,” I proposed.
‘You guys are so eager; but I need time to create a believable story, not like reincarnation,’ I decided.
Thinking of a ‘believable ‘ story combined with the plan to prank Wyper in the notepad app.
I mixed some truth and falsehood and created a ‘passable’ story after some editing.
“Ok!
So…?” I questioned them about their choice.
“We agree and swear we will not say what we hear today to anyone else,” they vowed solemnly.
“*Ahem*” I slightly felt guilty again for deceiving them but discarded it quickly.
“Listen carefully, I will tell you only once,” I started as they leaned forward attentively.
A «BZZT» sound was heard faintly, making Shandians face-fault “Where Am I?” I asked, shattering what little hope they had left.
“Oh!
What is this shell?” I questioned, looking at the vision dial in my hand.
I pressed its apex reflexively due to my muscle memory, destroying the photo.
“NO!
don’t…” the Shandians yelled to stop it, but it was too late; they despaired.
“Hello!
Excuse me, why are you dressed so poorly?
Why do you look depressed?
Did someone die?” I questioned doubtfully after spotting them.
“You are the one who died,” Kamakiri growled from the floor.
“What!
I died!?” I exclaimed in surprise.
“Are you guys?
Angels?” I inquired, looking at their wings.
“But you guys are not up to angel’s standard, except for her,” I quibbled, pointing at Raki after observing their dress.
“You are so dead,” Kamakiri shouted angrily before being stopped by others.
“But I’m already dead, hohoho,” I laughed joyfully, finally understanding why Brook does that.
After some shouting, yelling, crying, etc., everyone calmed down as I read the reminder projecting on my forearm and learned everything.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________ «REMINDER NOTE » ____________________________________________________________________________________________ » Phew, You FINALLY found the watch, at last.
It seems the blink setting is working fine.
Don’t worry, it will only be visible when you look directly at it and won’t attract others’ attention if seen from a distance.
I will clear your other doubts now.
» All of this is written by YOU…, What!
you can’t recall it?
That’s because You have short-term memory loss.
This Note is a backup prepared by ‘You’ for you.
» Do you know where you are?
You must have already said the annoying ‘Where Am I?’.
That sentence can be used as a Title if this is written as a story…
Psh!…let’s not think about it…where were we now?
Yeah, your situation, You are in One Piece World.
Yeah…, THAT One Piece you are thinking of now.
» You can explore on your own or read this note fully.
From here on, you are alone!
And update the Note if you are alive.
Good Luck.
P.
S.
Read the Log Book to know more details.
» I changed some settings of the watch since it should be hidden.
I set it to vibrate mode «BZZT» so it won’t alert anyone who doesn’t know about it.
I have also changed the holograph to display directly on your skin on the forearm or the hand, so you can use it conspicuously.
Change it if it is not useful.

“Tell us the reason before you forget it again,” Braham urged me.
“You see, I’m from the future,” I whispered, according to the story in the ‘Prank Wyper’ file under the Prank list, marked as Urgent in the watch.
‘What a believable story?’ I scoffed at the ‘Past me’ story.
‘But I have no choice but to wing it,’ I decided.
They looked bewildered.
“See this, so you can believe it’s true,” I reassured them, showing them some pictures from sci-fi movies as they looked in awe.
I started to spin tales about the future as they listened seriously.
“Due to some freak accident, I was thrown to this time,” I stated sadly to them.
“That’s how I know about the future,” I insisted as they looked thoughtful.
“Then tell us how the Shandora’s City gets destroyed?” Wyper inquired calmly after thinking a bit.
“Hm!
What year is this?
1510?” I asked, rubbing my chin thoughtfully.
“Then you guys are about 9-10 years old, right?” I probed as they nodded, except for Raki, who is 7 now.
“Then the person who destroys it will arrive in 1516,” I revealed.
“He defeats Gan Fall easily and will capture the entire God’s army to work for him.” I dropped the shocking news.
They looked in disbelief, thinking about how they were struggling to win against them.
“Hm…!
You will probably be 16 or 17 years old.
You can’t defeat him at that time,” I remarked, as they didn’t know how to respond.
“He must be so strong to defeat Gan Fall and others,” Kamakiri stated.
‘Yeah, Luffy is his natural enemy,’ I thought.
“Is he from the blue sea?” Genbo asked anxiously.
“No, he is from another sky island,” I informed him.
“He destroyed his entire Island and came here,” I continued as they looked shocked, thinking how one could destroy his own home and fearing what he would do after coming here.
“Does that mean we can’t carry our duty and fulfill the promise of Kalgara?” Wyper quavered, depressed, bringing the moods of others further down.
“Who said that?” I fumed, surprising them.
“I only said the city got trashed a bit,” I stated as they looked blankly.
‘What’s the difference?’ they thought.
“He took all the gold,” I growled, thinking of all the things I can buy there.
‘Why is gold important?
He is getting angry about it?’ they thought.
“He ran away after being defeated by some people,” I informed them as they got better at hearing about his defeat.
“Don’t worry, He didn’t find the golden bell, so the belfry is safe,” I reassured them as they sighed in relief.
“And I can probably guess where it is,” I lied, knowing his location.
“Where is the Bell?” Wyper hissed to keep his voice down.
“Who defeated him?” Raki questioned after.
“So that you can ring that bell?
Even if you ring it, how will you know that Noland’s descendant can hear it?” I questioned Wyper sternly, knowing his thoughts.
“Then I will ring it daily until they hear,” Wyper declared, looking determined and confident.
I tripped him with my tail.
“Are you a moron?
Then the whole blue sea will know this place exists, for real,” I pointed out the obvious.
“You can’t even win against Skypieans.
Can you defend against many pirates and marines?” I questioned sarcastically at him as lay silently.
“It’s of no use to know who defeated ‘him’, because of me it may change,” I answered Raki’s question as they became confused.
“What do you mean?” Braham voiced his confusion.
I sighed.
“It’s called the Butterfly effect.
A flap of a butterfly’s wings may create a cyclone miles away,” I explained, as they looked even more confused.
“Forget it.
Why I’m even explaining to you guys,” I sighed.
“For example, If I travel back in time and kill Kalgara, then at present there won’t be any descendent here,” I explained smugly, looking at red-faced Wyper.
“You can’t defeat him.
Kalgara is a great warrior of Shandora,” Wyper shouted angrily.
“I said as an example you dimwit,” I yelled back at him, as he shut up due to his mouth being covered by Kamakiri.
“Okay, I understood a bit,” Raki uttered in thought.
“If it is like that, then we can change that future, right?” she asked excitedly.
I’m surprised at how easily she figured it out.
“Since we know when they will arrive, we will be ready for them,” Raki proposed excitedly, as it strengthened their resolve as a fire burned in their eyes.
“You will be only 16 or 17 yrs old and can you defeat his men,” I reminded, *Ugh* *groan* damping their mood.
“We have many warriors to fight with us,” Genbo stated in protest.
“Who?
Those guys who are lying injured whenever I see them,” I sneered at him.
“How can they fight?
Looking half-dead?” I demanded as they looked at each other in loss, unable to answer me.
“Shut Up!
If they are at peak state then they will be powerful,” Kamakiri yelled in fury.
“If you want them at peak state, then you need to stop the ongoing war,” I replied calmly to his anger, as they looked thoughtful.
“It’s impossible.
The war between us can’t end,” Wyper denied, not even thinking of the idea.
“They are the ones occupying our home, so the war won’t be stopped until we chase them away,” Wyper stated angrily.
“Who said about ending it?
I only need you to pause the war till you defeat the major threat,” I reassured him.
“You can start killing each other after that, I don’t care,” I sneered as he accepted it.
“And I already have a plan for it,” I announced, bringing their focus to me.
“I planned to chase the God out of Upper Yard,” I declared, which shocked them.
‘Did ‘I’ take Kick God’s ass mentioned in the Reminder Note literally?.’
