42 years before Luffy set sail.
Year 1478 of the Sea Calendar.
Hachinosu Island, the pier south of the town.
Sails filled the area, and numerous Pirate Crews, drawn by Rocks's name, docked here.
A small three-masted schooner squeezed through the gaps between countless large ships and also docked here. Then, a handsome young man with a sunny disposition, flowing black hair, and a dashing look stepped off the ship.
"Is this Hachinosu Island? It's quite lively."
The pirate in charge of managing the pier immediately walked over.
"Hey! Kid! Are you here alone?"
"Yes."
"What a reckless fellow. What's your name?"
"Adolf D. Hitler."
"Never heard of it!"
"I'm here to join the Rocks Pirates!"
"Wahahaha! Daydreaming is truly a characteristic of kids!"
The pirate, who looked like a mole, pointed his thumb towards the island's interior.
"See that rock mountain that looks like a fish? The Rocks Pirates are there!"
"If you want to find them, go ahead and try!"
"But I don't think you'll ever see them!"
"After all, you're just a kid! Wahahahahaha!"
Hitler looked in the direction the mole-like pirate was pointing.
A large mountain stood tall in the distant center of the island. In his memory, it was a rock mountain shaped like a large skull, but it didn't yet have the two eyes it would later, and its overall shape was closer to a simple line drawing of a fish.
He walked past the mole-like pirate and gently patted his arm.
"Thank you for telling me their location. I'll give you a good dream!"
The mole-like pirate, who had been laughing wildly, suddenly stopped. His short, stout body fell to the ground, and snores quickly began to sound.
Immediately after, the expression on his face began to change, as if he were having a spring dream, revealing a lewd, foolish grin.
The pirates on the town streets all burst into laughter at this sight.
"Knocked out by a kid, what a waste! Hahaha!"
"You've got some skills, kid! Maybe you'll even get a chance to see that great one! Wahaha…"
Hitler wasn't angry; he simply returned a smile.
"Thank you for your kind words."
The next second, a soft white light suddenly emanated from him.
All the pirates bathed in the light, regardless of gender, collectively shuddered, then bent at the waist and fell to the ground.
The female pirates all blushed and were unable to stand.
The male pirates, one by one, rolled on the ground, making strange "hehehe" sounds.
"I'm giving you a happy time!"
Hitler smiled as he added the latter half of the sentence, walking step by step through the fallen crowd, quickly heading towards the fish-shaped mountain in the center of the island.
All the pirates he encountered along the way, anyone illuminated by the holy light, all fell under Hitler 's ability, with none able to withstand even a single move.
Until at some point, the people in the center of the island seemed to finally notice something was amiss and sent someone to investigate.
The newcomer was tall, nearly seven meters in height, with thick, muscular limbs, a pair of large bull horns on his head, and long, black hair cascading down his back.
Hitler took a glance and recognized him as Kaido in his young, teenage years.
"You did all this?"
Kaido's gaze swept around, looking at the many pirates rolling on the street, making various strange laughing sounds, and asked Hitler , who had walked up to him.
"Besides you and me, is there a third person standing here?"
Hitler smiled and asked back, while inwardly feeling a slight surprise.
Under the Holy Light Radiance mode of his Devil Fruit ability, only uninitiated individuals who had not yet tasted carnal desires were unaffected.
He hadn't expected that Kaido, despite having joined the Rocks Pirates and met Charlotte Linlin, had not yet been 'eaten'.
"What a perverse ability."
Kaido snorted lightly.
Although he hadn't tasted carnal desires, his experience was far from lacking. He could roughly guess what Hitler 's ability was by looking at the pirates rolling on the ground.
Lowering the spiked club he had on his shoulder, letting it hit the ground and create a shallow pit, Kaido said in a deep voice:
"Though your ability is perverse, you've made it this far, so you have the qualifications, kid! State your name!"
"Adolf D. Hitler!"
"Are you not welcoming me? Or is this a test of my strength?"
"It's a test!" Kaido retracted his spiked club and replied, "If you can't even take one hit from me, no matter how strange your ability is, you don't have the qualifications to join the Rocks Pirate Crew!"
With that, Kaido looked at the pirates still rolling on the ground.
"Your goal has been achieved, put away your ability!"
"I can't retract it!" Hitler replied with a smile, "Actually, there's no need to."
"I haven't harmed them; I'm just giving them a harmless happy time!"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask them afterward whether they would feel happy or pained if I were to retract my ability midway!"
Kaido frowned, said nothing more, and instead turned to lead Hitler .
Before long, the two arrived at the main hall inside the large mountain.
The hall was vast, and there were many people.
However, Hitler was not interested in getting to know them one by one.
After entering the hall, he immediately spoke, "Earlier, you tested my strength. Now, I also want to test your strength! The esteemed Rocks Pirate Crew shouldn't lack even this much courage, right?"
"Wahahaha!"
A boisterous laugh rang out from the main seat in the hall. A tall, burly man with wild, mixed black and white hair laughed and said, "Come on! Show me your strength!"
Hitler maintained his smile, slowly bringing his hands together in front of him. Holy light fully bloomed from his body, like a solemn Buddha.
"Hmmph~"
A muffled grunt suddenly echoed in the hall.
A man with light purple hair was the first to bend at the waist.
Next was a man with a large chin and a cigar in his mouth.
Then the man with sunglasses and a hat.
The man resembling the eccentric monk Urouge.
The large, catfish-like Fishman.
The short man in noble attire.
The man with a triple chin and a forked tongue like a snake's.
The blond man in a kimono with a pair of swords tucked into his sash.
And, the 8.8-meter-tall, exquisitely beautiful, alluring pink-haired woman.
Under the holy light emitted by Hitler , they all showed varying degrees of reaction.
Hitler completely ignored those who were affected, directly locking his gaze on the few targets completely unaffected by his ability.
Rocks, Whitebeard, and also Stussy and Kaido, who had initially brought him in.
"I didn't expect the great Rocks Pirate Crew to have so many uninitiated individuals who haven't tasted carnal desires!"
Hitler inwardly sighed.
This truly was an Era of great suppression!
It desperately needed his Devil Fruit ability! To release the suppression for everyone! To bring happiness!
Happy Time! It begins on Hachinosu Island
