Alright, I'll be honest with you guys... I read two stories that caught my attention, those being Arcangel by Shadow Gumball of Death, and Necro Z's Dawn of a New Adventure (Both I suggest reading if you have time...). Necro Z currently has a challenge set up and I decided to try to attempt it. So here's my attempt at it. Also while I have an idea where I want to take Jaune's and one other character's roles in this, his overall crew is still something i'm working on. but like always, I DO NOT own RWBY or One Piece, they belong to Rooster Teeth and Eichiro Oda respectfully.


Beacon Academy, a place where young men and woman enter these doors to become extraordinary huntsman and huntresses to combat the evil force known as the Creatures of Grimm. With each student training in combat to fight against these monsters as well as grow themselves until they can survive in the world against the horrors of the Grimm as the saviors of humanity...

And yet there were always some of the more... interesting cases, so to speak. In the tower that stood proudly among the academy, two people were left to think of the last several days' events and as such, tried to wonder what was happening.

An older man sighed, his hands holding up his chin in thought as his fingers were crossed in deep concentration. Behind him was an woman with green eyes that matched, albeit a much brighter green than her superior's own green attire. She too seemed to be contemplating the last few days as she herself tried her best to make sense of these two incidents and this new-player that seemed both against them... and the likes of Roman Torchwick.

Roman Torchwick... the assumed mastermind behind the entire "Breach of Vale" as the council was now calling it. Sure he was in Ironwood's custody shortly after. But what happened next was what soon shocked them the most as both he and his accomplice, a young girl known as Neo had both disappeared. From what Yang and the others of Team RWBY had informed them, this Neo girl was a follower of Torchwick... and that made things a bit unnerving.

Not that it was unnerving to have a prisoner escape jail, even if it was when James was literally in charge of it... but that the person behind it killed at least twenty fully armed guards of Atlas and destroyed the airship he was on.

Safe to say, the council and Ironwood had a field day with THAT little fiasco, and it soon appeared that things were pointing towards a certain witch that was currently after something in their procession... Safe to say, what happened recently was the next step of this chaos.

The older man sighed, recalling that little incident just three days ago. Jaune Arc, a young first-year student was kidnapped out of the blue and without a reason given. And all by the same young woman that made Ironwood's prisoner disappear...

The same. Exact. Way.

It was agreed that keeping this from the council as well as the public was... a horrible but needed mistake.

With everything else going on, the last thing they needed was the council going back down on their necks and... in the words of a certain dusty old crow... "Bitch and Moan to them about it." No, this needed to remain a secret... until they have more leads. Which as of now, there were none.

That being said, it was clear that each member of not only the former Team JNPR but Team RWBY and surprisingly some other students were coping in their own ways. And until they could find a lead to try to reassure them, it was understandable that they would be looking for any clues on Mister Arc's current location...

Team JNPR... or rather Team PRN, lead by Lie Ren, had been searching Vale for a day straight before being forced to come back upon Glynda Goodwitch's orders... The lone male was a deep friend, if not brother to the young Mister Arc, as was the other two, Miss Valkyrie and Miss Nikos similar to sisters... perhaps something more in Miss Nikos' case...

Meanwhile, Team RWBY was using whatever they could use to locate the missing swordsman. Miss Belladonna had been looking into some of the older White Fang locations find any leads... coming up short while Miss Xiao Long had, once again visited a certain club.

Miss Rose was a mess, looking with Team PRN for the most of the day and still trying to cope with her dog, despite pets not being allowed, Ozpin felt he could... bend the rules here for the situation. Meanwhile Miss Schnee was doing everything she could to try and keep the team going, keeping Yang from destroying the club, comforting Ruby in her vulnerable state and helping Miss Belladonna with her searches through the Schnee connections...

Going on that... Team CVFY, lead by Coco Adel, a higher classmen a year older than the younger students joined the search, while Team SNNN had also joined in, due to the fact that they had made friends with the young students in their time in Vale to attend the Vytal Festival.

The most shocking team to look for Jaune however, was team CRDL, a team that had held the news of Mister Arc's transcripts over his head for as long as they did and bullied him relentlessly... it was a welcoming surprise to see Mister Winchester put aside his pride to someone he, while not openly, referred to as a friend...

Meanwhile... on their end, Qrow and Winter were both sent out to find any leads possible, if not for the young man then their sister and nieces. Then again, he could tell that for Winter Schnee, this was more of a means of revenge mixed in it for her fallen comrades in the Atlas military.

"Sir, the Arc's are here to see you" the secretary informed as Headmaster Ozpin sighed, preparing for a soon-to-be event he was too many times, familiar with. With no emotion, he looked at Glynda Goodwitch, who held onto a sword and shield that beared the emblem of the Arc's and nodded.

"Send them up" he said as he knew today he needed to have something stronger than his typical hot chocolate... maybe he should switch to coffee... since that was a rumor that everyone seemed to feed now and then... He just hoped that Mister Arc was truly safe, whereever he was-

As soon as the elevator doors opened, he was greeted by two older people, one of which he knew very well... one was an old student of his, a former one anyways that was the team leader of the former Team IVRY, Isabelle Mauve while the older man next to her a man he had met several times previous...

He wouldn't say he didn't trust the man, but he was a man of a true power that fully master his aura, yet didn't want to become a huntsman, a man that could destroy a horde of A class Grimm effortlessly when a full team of huntresses and huntsman had trouble... He didn't know anything about the man's past other than he was a traveler from a land faraway...

He was a wild card but a man that reminded of many old friends Ozpin had made in his lifetime...

"Mr. and Mrs. Arc... I'm sorry to call you on such short notice but-"

"Just be blunt with me, Professor Ozpin..." she started as the man finished for her.

"Where... is our son" he asked calmly but held a fearsome power behind his blue eyes... Ozpin stayed calm while Glynda took a step back from the man's presence... Ozpin knew he needed something far stronger than hot chocolate now...

He needed a few drinks at least.


"Will... you stop chasing me you bas-"

*Roar*

Elsewhere, a certain swordsman was panicking at the moment. to be fair it was a simple response to. After all, what could he do otherwise...?

Here he was, waking up after three days of flying to who knows where... and landing on some kind of semi-deserted island. Yeah sure there were no real people around but the local wildlife and his current... "Teacher" but while his teacher had taken no offense to his presense... the wildlife that lived on the island had their own complaints towards the blond.

To make matters worse... his teacher was currently watching his newest apprentice fight off a local War Hog... At first the swordsman questioned him if he meant "Wart Hog" and the older man just laughed before throwing him into the pit with the giant pig. It reminded the blond student of the Boarbatusk that Weiss fought in their first day of Port's Class. accept three times bigger and just as savage.

"Stop running at keep fighting" the older man said as Jaune glared at the advice. As he reached for the wooden sword and shield he was given as "Defense" and tried to think of someway to kill this stupid pig. According to Ruby, the side and bottom were the weak spots in the Grimm Variation so why not in the animal world version of the swine.

Turning a corner, Jaune reached for the sword and stabbed the beast in the side, causing it to jump on it's back legs and stomp down before the Arc pulled the blade out and continued another running session.

This was the name of the game, either he ran out of stamina or the beast bled out to death. Either way he was at this for about-

*Bang*

"Time's up, kid" the older man said as he pointed a gun at the beast's head, the smoking barrel aimed at the now dead War Hog's head. "How do you take longer than an hour to kill a War Hog...?" he asked, in a somewhat taunting and playful tone as Jaune glared, having been training for the three days since he landed here and met the old man.

"Yeah... still not... used to it..." Jaune panted as he held onto one or the rocks that formed the wall of the pit. the old man just shrugged it off, well if the blond was serious about his training then at least he was trying. Then again he did better than he would have though and he was starting to get a decent bit of strength. For a beginner anyways. Still with all that being said, the boy was improving to say the least.

Climbing up, Jaune moaned as he felt like his body was dying. this wasn't just Yang and Nora helping him work out... this was something like a trial by fire. "Why... did I agree to this..." he muttered as the old man just raised an eyebrow and smirked. Effortlessly jumping down and picking up the large beast's corpse, he threw it it into the ocean with a large splash before a giant serpent rose to feast on it for lunch.

Oh yeah... the local Sea King, as the older man said as he really hated his luck. Why did he have to land on an island where there was some kind of sea monster in the area?

Miles smirked as he shook his head while seeing his young apprentice's face. To be young and filled with such hopes and dreams and to see said young realize the true horrors of the world. Still he didn't want to wish harm to the young man, which was why he was training him in the first place. "That's why" Miles said, reminding the Arc and snapping him out of his trance.

"In the world, there are monsters such as this Sea King that help fill these seas. Not to mention the other nightmares in the world. I might not know where this Remnant place is but the least I can do is let you train here to better prepare you for your travels" he said with a gruff voice, He might have been going on in his later years but he still knew the seas from his fellow marines. Those were the days of old...

He was retired now and Mezz D. Miles was no longer a marine. But he knew enough about the New World and Grand Line to tell the brat would be dead in a week if he went there.

"...Yeah... you told me that already..." Jaune moaned as he remembered why he didn't just leave the island as soon as he could. wherever he was, this wasn't Remnant, this might actually be just as bad. Sure there was no Grimm or anything but from what he was told about this... "New World" from the man and what he saw himself... it was rather terrifying to admit.

This wasn't even going by what this World Government was...

"Well... I think we should call it a day then... We'll be starting your true training tomorrow morning" he said as Jaune froze. Wait, his TRUE training!

"You mean that wasn't training?!" he shouted in shock as the old man just laughed. Of course not... It was to see what the blond swordsman could do. and now that he got a good look at the skills of Jaune Arc. He was going to break him, rebuild him and break him down again... and before long, Jaune Arc would be like the noble phoenix... one that would soar into this world or drown trying.

"Still... once we figure out what that semblance thing is you got there, we can move on from that" Miles said as Jaune just sighed. Why did he have to bring up his semblance. Sure when they talked about the world and those devil fruits that the former marine mentioned that reminded him of a semblance or the faunus back home. but after telling him about his semblance, the old man was curious about it.

One way or another, Miles was going to unlock that semblance... or kill the knight trying.

"So what are you going to be teaching me again?" he asked nervously as Miles smiled. It was simple.

"From what you told me, we're going to be working on three certain aspects. first is that sorry excuse of swordsmanship you have" Leo said bluntly as Jaune flinched. Even with Pyrrha's help, he was still no good... or at least good enough at his current level. He didn't even have Crocea Mors with him anymore and that what stung the most.

"Next... I want to see what that semblance or whatever of yours is. If it's like a devil fruit and you can still swim, I guarantee you that will lead to both promise and trouble" Miles continued as Jaune nodded. He already knew what that meant. he might have not known his semblance but whatever it was going to be an issue if certain people mistook it for a fruit ability.

So if he was going around swimming and is renown to have some kind of ability... people ask questions. It's been three days since he met Leon and he still didn't understand what he wanted. Why would he help a stranger who appeared out of nowhere with this anyways.

"Wait, what about that third thing?" he asked confused as the old man smirked. Jaune didn't like the way he smiled but he knew one thing was for sure

Things were going to change... and he just hoped that his friends were going to be alright without him for a while.


Alright so like I said, this was just a setup to see if people would like the idea... it's also a challenge that Necro Z so if you're interested then give it a look. That being said... I know how I want to take Jaune's character as well as some ideas for his crew members whether they be the One Piece Cannon or OC. Still I'm a bit more hesitant on using OC since Jaune's going to be a bit OOC as well as I don't want to make a crew of only OC...

On the other hand is that I don't want to make a contradiction or anything if I include an important character for his crew that serves a purpose somewhere else in the main Cannon.

Example would be Perona, who helped Zoro not only recover before Mihawk showed up but also escorted him back the Shabody... and we all know that Oda is an expert in not only foreshadowing but by mixing some of the more back-stories into the main cannon.

That being said, Jaune will NOT be on Luffy's crew but will be meeting him throughout some events like Marineford or Shabody Archipelago. Still what do you guys think, should I use OC or just stick with Cannon Characters... then again I could go down the Menma Ultimate Encore route and just use characters from other sources but have them be One Piece counterparts... but that would make it a less of a RWBY x One Piece story and more of a One Piece x Over one. and probably ruin the story at times... I don't know, what do you guys think.

...

That being said... Jaune will be keeping a sword as well as be gaining a Devil Fruit later on... guesses to what fruit he'll get are welcomed but let's just say it's a Cannon fruit we've seen before. And think of Jaune's personality on how he fights in the show... And finally. the "Mysterious Woman" and "How the World of Remnant and the World of One Piece are connected" let's just say I have an idea that's going to be addressed later but it's going to be a bit more... jumping the shark-ish just to make sense with the cannon and in a way we actually got a hint at in a One Piece Side-Story.
