------------------------------------

Upon awakening, Leo was still by his side. Embracing his destiny, he spent years with the Whitebeard pirates. His Curse of Greed made him an ideal member of his new family, yet his Curse of Pride turned him into the group's insolent smart aleck.

His Curse of a Sickly Body was in perpetual conflict with his passive skill, Perfect Condition, allowing him only brief periods of exertion and capping his stats at 30. Nonetheless, he remained unchallenged, safeguarded by his elder brothers and Leo, who had grown to the size of a van and possessed strength rivaling a Marine Admiral.

Trapped in a child's body, he diligently acquired his brothers' various skills, including swordsmanship, sharpshooting, crafting, blacksmithing, drinking, medicine, and more.

However, he devoted most of his time to medical studies alongside Marco, striving to cure himself and eventually becoming the second head doctor.

His research led to a dire conclusion: the only way to halt his body's relentless decline was a perilous heart surgery to replace his failing heart with a healthy one. His passive skill, Perfect Condition, had prevented death when metal shards lodged in his heart, now continuously leaching poison.

When Edward Newgate, his adoptive father, began showing signs of illness, he and Marco conducted tests and diagnosed him with Leukemia. Broadly, leukemia is a cancer of the blood cells that begins when a bone marrow stem cell's DNA mutates, turning malignant and proliferating swiftly.

These abnormal cells, known as leukemia cells or blasts, don't perish with age as normal cells do; instead, they accumulate in the bone marrow, displacing healthy cells and leading to a deficiency of healthy red and white blood cells, as well as platelets.

Bing pride he didn't see what did next wrong. Using his money, he employed some women who desperate to become pregnant through insemination of Whitebeards children. With his father seed that he got through some questionable means. Everything went to shit, when Marco tattled on him, when he discovered that he was going to harvest the newborn babies to heal their father. 

After a quick beating from his father, he introduced the six newborns into their family. No one in the family gave much lip for what he was about to do, because they understand he was doing it at a desperate act to save their father. But they were surprised a few days later when some of their brothers appeared with a tied-up man proclaiming himself to be Whitebeard flesh and blood son. Edward Weevil

He was not very intelligent, shown by the fact he had a hard time telling the difference between a mirror and a photograph. As a result, he was constantly manipulated by his mother Miss Buckin. Making him believe that he is the rightful heir of the Whitebeard Pirates' fortune, not the members of the Whitebeard Pirates, to whom he believed are unworthy.

Making the Whitebeard Pirates not hesitate to use chemical warfare on him after Hector told them that his strength is comparable to that of a younger Whitebeard, and Weevil would completely wiped them out trying to capture him

When they brought him over they learn unlike his alleged father, Weevil does not hold concepts of family in the same regard, believing that his alleged blood heritage is what makes him true family, not bonds built on friendship and camaraderie. Because of this, he tried to violently attack all those once affiliated with Whitebeard.

After they learned of this, none of his brothers didn't care when it turned out that he was Whitebeard actual biological son, and Hector with his questionable research began harvesting his blood and bone marrow. He kept him alive to repeatably us him to treat their father ailments.

Three years later Edward Newgate was no longer a death door, changing everyone's strategy of waiting for him to get weaker and die. The year is 1519, 4 moths until Luffy sets off to his journey and also the ten-year mark of his stay in the One Piece.

-A month later-

Unlike the anime, which trips on sea take hours or days, the realistic version takes days, weeks, or even months, to travel from one place to another, especially going from the New World to the East Blues. Since the One-Piece planet is 84% the size of earths Sun, and 76.5% of the planet is water, its a long journey.

A few hours after the storm he was caught in East blue ended, Hector noticed Heistsu Islands, where he was going to claim his Ultra rare reward. For the first time since he arrived in this world, he felt true dread as he was getting close to his goal!

In the past few minutes, he had only seen nothing but trees as he rode on Leo in the seemly endless forest until he arrived at his location. Then he heard system voice, sounded in his head.

[If you which for power, you will have to awaken]

"Well, I came this far, so give it to me man."

Without warning he felt everything go black as his limp body fell from Leo.

[You have died.]

But, before he could even process his second death, the voice was followed by several other messages.

[With your death, your powers have become complete, Heart is being replaced by Dark Heart]

"Only you, who have overcome death are worthy of this power."

"I am the record of your bitter struggle. I am the evidence of your resistance. I am the reward of your pain. I am death, I am eternal rest, and I am also your 'terror'"

While searching for the source of the new voice, Hector saw a man in pitch-black armor slowly walking closer to him. Every word he spoke reverberated weightily within his soul.

Frankly, he didn't struggle so much.

"I am…."

The figure quietly finished his words.

"….You."

After finishing his words the figure abruptly disappeared into Hector.

With the figure's disappearance, the System voice came back.

[You are experiencing an awakening.]
