Good evening, or morning, or whatever the [****]ing time of day currently is where you are. As per popular request (by me), today we will be entering a parallel One Piece, in which everyone's favorite cat-phobic, cross-dressing, harem creating martial artist from the late '80s, Ranma Saotome of "Ranma 1/2", will be guest-staring.

Now, for the formalities, *takes out little note from pocket and reads aloud* "Ranma 1/2 is the property of Rumiko Takahashi, and One Piece is the property of Shonen Jump and Eiichiro Oda. I claim no rights to said mangas or any of their characters, nor do profit in any way through this fanfic. Please support the official releases." *breathes sigh of relief/exhaustion* [****]ing lawsuits. Now, without further adieu, enjoy the fanfic.

"Ranma, King of the Seventh Power"

Chapter 0: "The Legend of the King"

As always, the young, eager students of the Rokushiki Training Grounds are hard at work, practicing and honing their skills and techniques for the day they are admitted into the esteemed ranks of CP. Out in the front, a group of students were practicing their form.

Unknown to their master, however, two had snuck off to visit the Grand Wall of Masters, a trophy case depicting photos of CP legends that came before them.

"Look here!" one of the two students, a young man with sunglasses and small captain's jacket on his shoulders, said, pointing to one of the pictures. "It's a photo of Rob Lucci! He's the greatest Six Powers Master ever!"

"Yeah!" the other, a short boy with glasses and no shirt, replied. "I hope I'm that strong when I'm a master!"

"Well, maybe you will be..." The two turned around nervously to come face to face with their elderly master, a cross look on his face and wooden practice sword in his hand, "...IF YOU STOP SKIPPING OUT ON YOUR TRAINING!"

After being lectured by their master and nursing their bumps and bruises, the sunglasses student asked, "Say master, who's the greatest Six Powers user?" The master gave him a questioning look and replied, "Why do you ask?"

"We were talking about how Rob Lucci was our favorite master, so who's yours?" the glasses boy asked. The master chuckled as he walked up to the trophy case, placing his hand on the glass, sliding open the door, and picking up a dusty photo.

"My favorite, eh?" he smiled, blowing away the dust on the photo. It revealed a young, black-haired man, whose hair was tied back into a string of orbs while the bangs stayed in front. The man wore the customary black suit of a CP9 agent. He was grinning ear to ear and flashing a peace-sign to the camera. "Without a doubt, Ranma Saotome."

The two students were puzzled by this name. They had never heard or read of this Ranma person before.

"Though Lucci is regarded as the greatest 6 Powers user, the true greatest is Ranma. He executed the techniques with great skill and ease. Once he even leapt over 50 feet in the air with a single Moon Walk bounce, and he even broke steel with his Finger Pistol!"

"So then why have we never heard of him?" sunglasses asked.

"Yeah, why isn't he the official greatest?" shirtless added. The master looked a bit nostalgic recalling these memories.

"While he is very well deserving of that title, he never once took a life using the martial arts. CP9 are executioners of justice, and without the will to kill, Ranma never made an official name for himself, and eventually faded into nothing more than a legend."

"Wow!" sunglasses exclaimed awestruck, "He was even better than Rob Lucci?"

"Exponentially. He even surpassed the 6 Powers and created a stronger Seventh Power altogether!"

"A seventh power?" shirtless gasped.

"Indeed. However, Ranma claimed it was a bloodline power that only a Saotome could learn. The Seventh Power, Mimic."

"Mimic?"

"Yes," the master continued, "Mimic. Ranma was so skilled in the martial arts that he could even copy and perform the moves of his opponent instantly after seeing them once!

"Once, in a field mission, Ranma had to apprehend a criminal from Karate Island, known for his one-hit-kill karate move. As soon as he used that move, Ranma read his attack path, dodged the move, and subsequently defeated his opponent using the very same move!"

"So whatever happened to him, master?" sunglasses asked, inspired by this Six Powers god.

"Eventually, he joined the ranks of CP9 and dispensed justice where needed. After a good 10 years of heroism, he retired early and left the ranks 4 years ago. Last I heard, he had gone to live on a deserted island in the Grand Line to train in solitude and perfect his style."

"I sure hope I become as strong as him some day!" Sunglasses said, with Shirtless nodding in agreement. The two then ran off to rejoin practice.

The master smiled as he went after them, reminded of the great student, and wondering what had become of the notorious Ranma.
