Title: One Piece, Remnant's Crazy Gamer
Chapter: That Which Cannot Be Stopped
Volume: Prologue
Rating: M
Year Timeline: 22 Years before RWBY Canon
Warning: Contains varying expletives, violence and suggested scenes of sexual nature. Also, get prepared for the worst and most 'Out of Character' Gol D. Roger you have ever seen. Unless of course, you've seen the original for this. Go to the bottom, 'Notes in General' for my reasons why he is as such.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. One Piece and RWBY are the respective properties of Eiichiro Oda and Rooster Teeth (and the late Monty Oum).
"Destiny, Fate, Dreams, These unstoppable ideals are held deep in the heart of man; as long as there are people who seek freedom in this life; these things shall not vanish from the earth."

~ The Afterlife ~
Pain.
Utter Pain.
That was all I could feel.
Then, I felt nothing.
Huh, how odd.
My eyes seem to be closed.
I open them, and with them, I see a blue screen.
And what it did say?
Well, it said...
Welcome to Remnant!
Basic Lore!
Character Creation!
Alright, I've officially gone mad.
Or crazy. Whichever one suits the situation better.
Well, might as well play into it.
Let's go, Character Creation, since I'm pretty sure, I know virtually all of the basic lore.
'Welcome to Remnant New World! We appreciate your life as payment for playing this game!'
This better be the best game I will have ever played, or I'm going to want a refund.
'No refunds!'
Fuck.
'We've recently completed the new Beta Version, and you are none other than our very first participant! As thanks for being one of our first participants, you will receive 2000 bonus points and 2 Perks!'
Oh boy.
I didn't know my imagination was this creative, quite-
Ah, crap.
I remember now.
Last time, I try to recreate an anime scene.
Bullets ablaze, and my legs began to move on their own.
Then, pain.
Still, I'm rather lucky for this new life, aren't I?
Might as well, see what else there is.
'We're now going to be calculating the score of your old life, so please wait!'
And, about ten seconds later...

Is that a good score or a bad score.
I mean, just the normal score, without the bonus.
"2730 is a low score."
Goddamit.
Wait... who said that!?
Alright. It's official. I am mad.
Gol D. Roger is sitting on the chair, just looking at me.
"You sure took some to notice me, boy!"
How the hell did I not notice him?
What the hell?
I have so many questions!
"You'll have to ask your questions later, let's first begin with explaining stats!"
Did he just read-
"I didn't read your mind."
Ok?
...
...
...
"Let's begin," The Pirate King says as he waves a hand a sudden blue form of text appears below me to read.
Strength: The measure of how physically strong you are! Each point in it increases your HP by 10 and is a requirement to hold many weapons in Remnant.
Perception: The measure of how well you perceive things. Allows you to see things that other people have difficulties in doing so.
Vitality: The measure of your health! Each point in it increases your HP by 10 and also increases your Health Regeneration by 0.01%
Agility: The measure of your speed! Each point in it allows for you to move quicker!
Intelligence: The measure of your intellect! Each point in it allows for you to complete intelligence based tasks easier and quicker by 0.01%
Wisdom: Knowledge is one thing, and wisdom is another! Allows you to think more clearly in situations! Additionally, each point in wisdom makes the effect of 'Calm Down' or 'Resist' 0.01% better.
Charisma: The measure of yourself? Each point in it gives you 0.01% bonus in negotiation and charm!
Spirit: A unique skill for the One Piece and RWBY Crossover! The measure of your willpower. Cannot be increased by any attribute points, dependent solely on the character's willpower.
"Wait, One Piece and RWBY Crossover?!" I yell out, to which the Pirate King, looking as if it's nothing important replied, "Yep. You get One Piece powers, and get to go to Remnant!"
Omg.
YES!
...
...
...
"Alright, first things first. Create your character! You'll look like what they are when your sixteen, as long as you don't suffer any injuries or..."
Hawk-Eyes.
Hawk-Eyes.
Hawk-Eyes.
"Hawk-Eyes, huh? He was at my execution with Shanks and Buggy, do you know-"
I got them.
I got them.
I got them.
"Just saying, but you do realize that Faunus are discriminated against, right?"
I do.
But, I have to have those eyes!
The Eyes of the World's Greatest Swordsman.
Or at least, he is, before Zoro inevitably becomes the World's Greatest Swordsman.
Well, who cares, because, "I'M GOING TO GET THESE EYES!"
'Hidden Perk Unlocked!'
Huh?
"I'll tell you later."
Alright. Well, now I can change my future height.
TALL, TALL, TALL.
What do you mean six foot is the max?
Well, that's tall enough, I suppose.
Alright, now I got to change the rest, facial structures, hair colour and style, ears, and etc.
'Character Model Created'
...
...
...
"You have blatantly ripped of Hawk-Eyes, you do realize that?"
Hey, my guy's a bit different!
"How, so?"
Well, I've been caught.
Following that, Gol D. Roger begins to laugh.
It's loud, and somehow, it has power behind it.
Power, I'm not willing to challenge.
Anyway, my character does look different.
I think.
"You can choose your Semblance now! But... You have to unlock your Aura first!"
I can choose my Semblance?
"The Semblance you choose. Must be based off a Devil Fruit, however, it will be far weaker than the actual Devil Fruit, albeit, it will not possess the weaknesses of water and seastone. Though if you do choose a Logia or Paramecia, you'll still get affected by Remnant's own version of Haki."
Haki... I need to remember that.
Alright, let's see the Semblances available...
Sand-Sand, Flare-Flare, Rumble-Rumble, Chilly-Chilly, the list goes on, it really does.
Unfortunately as the Pirate King! Said, the Semblances are basically watered down Devil Fruits.
The Flare-Flare Fruit? Yeah, only part of my body. Same went for Crocodile, Enel and Kuzan's Fruit.
I was tempted to choose Whitebeard's power, but I was also afraid of hurting my own teammates.
What I needed was something a bit more specific.
"Not choosing Newgate's power, eh?" Gol D. Roger remarks, and I'm still tempted, but, I lay my eyes on what is called a Gravity Semblance.
And, this is what it can do...
...
...
...
Gravity Semblance: Allows for the manipulation of Gravity, both subtle and very obvious.
Note: A purplish glow is shown and seen whenever this Semblance is used.
Starting Skills:
- Gravitational Pull: Bring your enemies or objects towards you!
- Gravitational Push: Push your enemies or objects away from you!
- Gravitational Rise: Elevate your enemies or objects higher! Can also be used to imitate levitation and flight.
- Gravitational Fall: Bring your enemies to their knees! Be careful when using this move! It may break the ground beneath you as well.
- Gravitational Slash: Some people have to become strong enough to create slashes of air! You can skip that step, and simply have your Semblance create a Gravitational Slash! Works the same way, though with somewhat more devastating effects, than your normal Air Slash.
...
...
...
Five Skills?
The Flare-Flare only comes with three, including the slightly intangible body, though, I have a feeling it will end up with more.
I mean, Ace did do that plasma thing. But, I also kind of want to choose a Semblance that complements my style.
And, as cool as a swordsman with a flaming sword looks, it would be even cooler, if someone looked in my eyes in fear while they're being pushed down by gravity.
Also, who doesn't want to CONTROL GRAVITY ITSELF?
Like, I could imitate levitation and flight, actually, Shiki's fruit can do that as well, and has fewer limitations, but still, GRAVITY!
Law's Fruit is also there. But, my god, the limitations.
Anyway, I choose you!
"You don't have to say that," Yes, but I want to say it.
'Gravity Semblance Chosen'
...
...
...
"Now, onto your basic Character Profile. You get to choose your name, then you can choose what to use your points on, as well as your Perks and Special Skills. Normally, people start out with 1 Perk and 1 Special Skill, but you of course also get your additional 2 Perks! Also, no, you can't choose my name!"
Oh. I won't.
Not anymore, I will.
Hehehe.

"Silvers D. Rogers..."
YOU MADE ME DO THIS!
"Alright, alright. Though he'll be in for quite a laugh when I tell him about it..."
Wait, is Rayleigh dead?
The Pirate King, looks sad?
Kind of like Luffy, though more mature.
I shouldn't ask...
"One last thing, your points, perks and special skills. And just in case, as most ask, you keep your memory, so don't worry. Though it's a bit weird probably being a baby and remembering your past life."
That is true.
"Wait. Before you choose your Perk, since you chose to have Hawk-Eyes, you're automatically a Hawk Faunus."
Well. That does sound just about right.
"It counts as a Hidden Perk, and a Faunus Perk, so I think all of the Faunus Perks might be blocked..."
Ok...
...
...
...
Perks:
1. Born Fighter: Whatever family you're born from, Huntsman, Merchants, or Mercenaries, it doesn't matter. You just need to remember, fighting is in your blood, and certainly it comes easier to you. (+1 Strength +1 Agility every 5 levels for Humans) (+1 Strength + 1 Agility + 1 Vitality every 5 levels for Faunus) [Cost 1 Perk]
2. Aura, Aura: You got more Aura than the average joe. The average joe with Aura of course. (+500 Aura every 10 levels, +5% Aura Regen.) [Cost 1 Perk] [Can not be stacked with Aura Tank]

4. Faunus Legacy: Somewhere along the line, you had a Faunus in your family tree, and, while their blood runs thin, it continues to run even now. (Minor Stat Increase dependent on chosen Faunus Ancestor. (No Faunus Prejudice.) [Cost 1 Perk] [BLOCKED]
5. Faunus Heritage: You're a Faunus. Of what animal? It can be of any animal, simply choose and you will get stat increases based on whichever! (Stat Increase dependent on chosen Faunus.) (Warning: Faunus Prejudice will be active if this Perk is chosen.) [Cost 1 Perk] [Free Hawk-Faunus Hidden Perk] [ALREADY SELECTED]
6. Mythical Faunus: Your heritage is like other Faunus, but, yours is ancient and truly strong. (High Stat Increase dependent on random Faunus. Warning: Faunus Prejudice will be active if this Perk is chosen. [Cost 2 Perks] [BLOCKED]
7. House of Warriors: Maybe, you're not born a born fighter, or maybe you are, but, your family sure is full of them! (+1 Strength, +1 Agility, +1 Vitality) (Easier to become a Huntsman and unlock Aura) [Cost 1 Perk] [Warning: Surname will be removed, if this Perk is chosen] [Can be used with House of Riches]
8. House of Riches: Or maybe, you're born with riches. Money, fame and fortune, off the back! (Start out with a large amount of money) [Cost 1 Perk] [Warning: Surname will be removed, if this Perk is chosen] [Can be used with House of Warriors]

1. Madness: A rush of adrenaline and something takes over your mind, for ten seconds you feel no pain, but, the damage you feel is doubled than what is actually received! [Cost 1 Special Skill]
2. Blood Lust: For unknown reasons your strength is increased by 20% whenever you see the blood of your enemies, however, your mental sanity also decreases by 40% whenever acting out on your blood lust. [Cost 1 Special Skill]
3. Charm: You have a special ability to charm those around you. Allows you to persuade and change the minds of people with 10 less Charisma than usual. [Cost 1 Special Skill]
4. Inner Animal: Faunus Blood flows within you. Whether it be of Legacy or Heritage, or perhaps even a Mythical Faunus, nevertheless, there is an inner animal within you. Doubles the stat increase for 30 seconds on whichever player has Faunus Perk. [Faunus-Only] [Cost 1 Special Skill]

"You've saved a Perk since you unlocked the hidden Hawk-Faunus Perk earlier. Now you just need to choose the rest of your Perks and Special- Hey listen to me!"
I'm done.
Chose it all extremely quickly, didn't even need to look again.
"Let's see. 'Born Fighter', Aura, Aura,' and 'Craftsman?' Interesting choice, I'm surprised you didn't choose Aura Tank."
I was going to choose Aura Tank. But, Aura, Aura. I for some reason like the name of that Perk.
"That's because it sounds like the catchphrase of-"
Not going to change it.
"Well. It doesn't matter. Alright, for skills. You chose... Charm... Oh boy. Should've told you about the Faunus Heritage earlier... You still want to hear it?"
Nah. Can't be bothered.
"It's probably better-"
Let's just go on!
"Are you sure?"
Yep.
"Ok fine."
Actually, I've been wondering... What happens if you have too many Perks?"
"No one ever gets more than 5 Perks, in the case they do, it gets transferred as a Special Skill, and in the case, there are too many of those, they turn to points.
Ah.
I wonder what Faunus Prejudice is.
"You read the Basic Lore, right?"
Crap.
But, it doesn't matter, I already know enough about RWBY!
"I see..."
He looks at me deadpan.
"Anyway, now that we've gotten your character profile, we just need to complete it.

-50% on Charm?
Maybe, I should have expected that.
"You really should have!"
There are also things about the Craftsman Perk I didn't see before.
But, most of all, Semblances have Tiers!?
"Huh. You don't know. It said it at the page on Semblances."
I didn't bother to read the whole page.
The Pirate King takes a deep breath.
Then, he begins to speak again, "This is about everything, now we need to begin your journey."
Wait. I've been wondering, how do I keep my whole surname. Unless there's someone at Remnant with the same-
"There aren't. Also, you are the first and only ever Hawk Faunus in Remnant, so..."
I got a bad feeling about this.
Is that a portal behind me?
Yes, it is, and it looks like Raven, though a fluorescent blue in colour.
"I'll just pop you in an orphanage with your name."
That seems reasonable. Wait, a minute-
"Well. GOOD LUCK!"
And, thus here, began my journey.
It's kind of weird, speaking in the past tense when it's the present.
Wait...
What year am I going to be born in?
The same years as Yang and everyone else?
Or maybe the same as Ruby.
Might as well.
"I BETTER NOT BE BORN TO EARLY OR TO LATE!"
I'm certain he didn't hear me, but, I did it for the memes.
Actually, he also never told me anything about the points...
Well, screw it.
This is my new life I guess.
The life of Silvers D. Roger...
Remnant's Crazy Gamer...
Gol D. Roger
Sending off Roger, the Pirate King took a deep breath.
As he did so, nothingness changed to create a forest.
Finding a log, he sat down on it.
Opening a flask of alcohol that he spawned, he smiled.
This was where it happened.
Though he was cooking a boar at that same time.
But, that didn't matter.
He had met him here as well. His successor.
His whole crew in fact.
However, almost everyone had now passed on.
Even those from New Generations became old and withered.
His own time was as well now long gone.
And, he didn't want to keep them waiting any longer.
But, at the same time. She needed him.
He should've been there, but he never was.
But, he didn't give up hope.
No, the Pirate King was beyond hope.
After all.
There were some things that couldn't be stopped.
Chapter Notes:
Differences with Original Prologue
1. Perception: I added Perception to the stats. I was planning on having it replace Wisdom, but I chose not to, as per for a certain wizard. It was added mainly on the basis of Roger having the eyesight of a Hawk. Perception also includes smelling, hearing and touch, so that Roger doesn't dominate perception.
2. Gol D. Roger's Attitude/Personality: Yes, the Pirate King is less enthusiastic. Yes, I tried to write him as a somewhat broken man, but, you can't write the Pirate King as anywhere close to broken. So, instead, he's just a Pirate who has no reason to be happy or sad. Though, he does try to be the former more than the latter.
3. Perks, Special Skills and Points: The first two are what I feel that my original version needed. The original lacked any semblance of what a game was except for some brief quests and profiles. I won't explain why Roger chose any of his Perks or Special Skills since he will explain it themselves. Unless you review or message.
Notes in General
1. Gol D. Roger is Out of Character: Yes, he is. And there is a reason for such. Let's just say, he's been through a lot. Maybe even more than the wizard.
2. In case you didn't see it. Mythical Faunus was one of the Perks. And, there's a certain Zoan that is- Ok, I've said enough.
3. I feel that while this is structured better and neater. I still made some of the same mistakes.
4. No Gamer buff. I always felt that was OP, especially, since it might undermine Emerald's Semblance.
5. Each level allows for 4 attribute points. Meaning Lv 1 has 4 attribute points. Trey was level 21 and thus had 84 attribute points.
