Sato watched as the life of the scrawny kid played again and again, One moment he would experience the love of Erik's parents and another moment he would experience Erik's Suffering. Sato felt sad for the poor kid, he didn't know how he could see all of this but he felt Erik's suffering. He knew that this world was set in the world of one piece, the pirate attack on Erik's home town and the several early memories in Erik's life all hinted at this world being set in The one piece world, The only thing that Sato couldn't find out was which era Erik lived his life in.
Just as a few tears started shedding from Sato's eyes, his consciousness blurred and he collapsed in the dark room where he watched Erik's life play out.

Sato woke up , his body felt cold and weak, his clothes were wet and his body was begging for food.
Sato looked around him, finding himself sleeping in the bank of a river. He looked at the clothes he was wearing. They seemed familiar, as if he saw them before.
He put his hand up to his face and started to feel his facial features. His hair seemed to have changed from a raven shade to a blonde colour.
"Why is my hair Blonde?" He loudly asked himself.
He went over to the river and looked at the reflection. His eyes went wide, he punched himself to confirm if it was real or just a dream.
"I-I am Eric?" Sato said to himself as he looked at the crimson red eyes Eric possessed. It couldn't be true right? He Didn't get sent to Eric's body, right? Such thoughts flowed through his head as he started to tremble. He started seeing the scenes of Hanzo beating poor Erik again and again, his body almost went into a seizure but he remembered, Eric was already dead, he was killed by Hanzo and thrown into the river, So, Sato Was Reincarnated into Eric's body? That was the most logical explanation Sato had, but Eric's face and body had been brutally injured by Hanzo, How could they still be alright and intact?
Sato lifted the wet shirt that had stuck to his skin, there was no injury nor scar from the rod piercing Eric's chest. His face also seemed alright.
'Who ever Put me in Erik's body must have also healed or restored his body to a much better state, If I ever meet this person, Or god I must thank them, For both healing this body and Giving me a second chance.' Sato thought as he went in the sunlight to dry his clothes.
Sato must accept This body as his now and Erik's identify his. He would personally make sure that Erik didn't die in vain and lived his life fully, Sato would make sure that Erik's dream is fulfilled, To accomplish that, He will make sure to take revenge for Erik and kill the one that made Erik suffer.
For that reason, Sato must become strong, Make Erik strong, Strong enough to kill Hanzo. Even if he must sacrifice his previous identity to do so, even if he has to become Erik to take revenge for him, He would do anything to kill Hanzo.
The light of the sun landed on Erik's hair, Creating a shadow in Eric's face.
"I will become strong, Strong enough to kill you, Hanzo. Then I will make sure Erik's dreams are accomplished, through me." Sato said as his eyes glowed Red under the shadow of his hair. His eyes emitted a dangerous intent, the intent of a predator looking at its prey, the intent to kill, the intent of a wild beast about to strike.
"His dream to become strong enough that no one stays in his way, His dream to see the world, His dream to stand atop everything that exists, shall be accomplished by me." Sato said as he punched a tree, blood seeped out of his knuckles.
"Even if I have to become strong to overcome my foes, I will become the strongest in this world."
