[Memory]
Year 1467, [55 years before the main story.]
Alexander Maxim D Universe, found himself standing on the deck of a huge sail ship. He only remembers small things about his life before this moment. He didn't know anything about the world except some small details, like its map and people.
For starters, he was born in the Goa Kingdom on Dawn island, and second, he was again an orphan. Beyond that, there was no memory. Some tens of years later, he directly became an Admiral after going to special recruitment. He beat the admiral there with ease and became an Admiral directly. It was quite a surprising thing but it did happen. He already looked like an old man so most people thought that he was some hidden old man who trained for years.
But he then found out that there was corruption in the Marines so he cut himself off from the headquarters. He stopped listening to any order given to him other than that of dealing with pirates.
This behavior of his left the World Government unsatisfied but they couldn't do anything to him as making him their enemy wasn't worth it. But they also made the decision to never promote him to be the Fleet Admiral and promoted Kong, a young man, to the position of Fleet Admiral.
Currently, the three admirals were Alexander, Robel, a very old man and the third position was empty for now. A vice-admiral was assigned for that position temporarily though.
All this gave Alexander the freedom to do anything. He stayed away from the corrupt Marines and did his job with Vice Admiral Dobby at his side.
...
Goa Kingdom, Dawn Island
"Alright runts, if you want to be a good marine then you need to have the best discipline. Now then, your first task is to clean this ship until it starts shining. You got that?" Dobby spoke like a good drill Sargent.
"Waaaa... But I want food. When will we eat?" One of them cried.
Dobby quickly looked at who voiced, it was a well built 22-year-old boy, standing with a big grin.
"Ensign Monkey D Garp. You will not get food this whole day. This is your punishment for showing indiscipline. Don't expect me to treat you nicely because you have a slightly similar name to the Admiral. This goes for you all, no one here gets preferential treatment. Now, go and work." Dobby ordered.
Garp was about to say more but Tsuru and Sengoku grabbed him and dragged him away.
Leaving the deck of the ship, Dobby came to Alexander's chamber, "Any luck finding where we are?"
Alexander shook his head, "No, I have no recollection about this world. It is either something new or something I just never saw. This means we don't have the advantage of knowing all the events of this world. But let's not worry about that, though luckily I got this World map from the Headquarters. All admirals have them. Now at least we know what kind of world we are in.
"And calling it just weird would be an understatement. This planet seems to be mainly water but a giant mountain chain divides it in half. Then there is a grand line and calm belts dividing the world into further 4 parts. All this seems too unnatural. The world map gives me feeling like this world's topography is made so that the rulers can rule easily. I also couldn't find any history of the world before 800 years." Alexander babbled.
"We will find all these things slowly, boss. It's not your fault you don't know. I mean, there were bound to be worlds you don't know about. So, let's first focus on finding out where Ragnarok is. He's somewhere out there and we aren't able to find him." Dobby worryingly stated.
Alexander thought for a long moment, "Maybe, it's possible that he's somewhere in another time. That is the only explanation why I can't even contact him. But let's just keep on looking for him. He's a world-ending Dragon, he can't be hidden that easily."
*Knock Knock*
"Yes, sir." They saluted and ran away.
"Bwahahaha... Such an easy job." Garp yelled while running away.
...
Alexander did a makeover of the area and made lots of homes for the people. For security purposes, he made 10 Godroids(Human-like magical golems). These Godroids would protect the housing and commercial area. Alexander also told some good people how to recycle so they could sell it and make some earnings.
In the long run, it would help the Gray Terminal. Pirates rarely came to the Gray Terminal as they already had a spot to live. Which was on or around Mt. Colubo, near Foosha Village. Though currently all the pirates and bandits had hidden themselves anywhere possible due to fear from Alexander.
"Dobby, have we received any reports of pirate attacks?" Alexander asked.
"No, boss. It's all calm these days." Dobby replied.
"Hmmm... Then let's sail to Rusukaina. I will train these newbies there." Alexander loudly announced.
All the new recruits got excited at the mention of special training. Including recently arrived Garp and Sengoku. They both had bruises all over their bodies.
"Hahaha... How was the easy job?" Alexander made fun of their swollen faces.
The two didn't say anything in embarrassment and simply headed back to the ship. Both had underestimated the number of bandits living in Gray terminal and ended up barely completing their mission.
"He set us up, I'm telling you" Garp complained while walking.
Sengoku fist-bumped his head, "You fool, we had a plan to single them out and deal with them one by one. It was you who ran to them without thinking."
"Bwahahaha... that is what a strong man should do. Never be afraid of fights." Garp loudly claimed.
Sengoku looked at Garp's swollen face in disappointment and thought, ~Maybe I should have left him for some more beating.~
