   Summary

   Your son's fourth word is 'Sanji'. He knows sea shanties no one's ever taught him. His heart beats a rhythm you don't recognise. He loves people who don't even exist yet. He talks about being the Pirate King as if it has already happened. For all you know, it probably already has.

   //

   Fourteen years before the first Pirate King is executed, the second Pirate King is born again. In which Luffy is a very unsubtle time-traveler and it takes Dragon longer than it should to realise his son isn't quite normal.
