Stone Ocean - Chapter 127
Summary
The story of Weather Report and Enrico Pucci is revealed.
Around forty years ago, on June 5, 1972, in a hospital from a small town, a woman whose newborn child died in her arms decided to secretly swap her deceased son with another child, who happened to have a twin brother with a twisted foot.
Several years later, a young Pucci suddenly trips while taking care of the church. He spots an intruder, who suddenly appears from behind and looks at Pucci's books, one of which was the tale of an adulterous clergyman. The intruder, who reveals himself as DIO, asks Pucci to let him stay inside the church until nightfall because he is "allergic" to sunlight. Surprisingly, Pucci believes DIO and lets him stay, which arouses the latter's interest and curiosity. As a gift, DIO heals Pucci's twisted foot and gives him an Arrowhead. Mentioning the concept of "gravity", explained as a fated attraction between two people, DIO then disappears into the shadows.
Enrico Pucci was born in a wealthy and prestigious family and lived a happy childhood with his younger sister, Perla. His twin brother, Domenico, died shortly after he was born. However, as he was taken to Domenico's grave, Pucci grew curious about his dead twin brother and asked himself why he lived and not his twin. One day, as he was cleaning the confession booth, the woman that took Domenico from them, now stricken with an incurable disease, came to confess that she swapped her child with one of the Pucci family's twins, unknowingly confessing to the very twin brother that she had stolen from, who is now burdened with the knowledge that his brother is still alive.
