"I'm going as Blackfire."

"To AnimeEXPO?"

"You don't necessarily have to be an anime character you know."

"Yeah, yeah. Just because you're a professional and can make it look like you popped right out of the series doesn't mean- -"

"See you there, Sasuke."

"I hate you. Just because you choose not to go as Sasuke for the first time...hey! Stop walking away!"

"Huh...One Piece...Haven't read this series since ...huh after Ace died..."

"Oh what a lovely cosplay, miss! We have a deal going on! Buy the series pack it has everything from volume one to the current issue!"

"Really...? Maybe I will. How much?"

"200$ and we will throw in a small compass necklace!"

"...Guess that is fair."

"Hey don't stay up to late. We get to meet Suki-chan at the crunchyroll area today! Also Raymond was the only Gold D. Roger at the con so FUNimation is looking for him to take a picture! We got to see it!"

"Yeah, yeah. Shut up. I'm reading One Piece."

"Whoa didn't that come out when we were like...twelve?"

"Yes. Now shush."

"Fine! See you in the morning!"

"I can't believe I stayed up all night catching up..." Swiftly jumping out of the shower, Corrin began to swiftly dry her waist long ginger colored locks, before she got to her pale skin. Once that was done she swiftly placed her long dark violet wig on, making sure it was in perfect position on her head, brushing it swiftly and with gentle precision the twenty-three year old was pleased as it flowed smoothly down her back, just resting right above her bottom, in the small of her back before she turned and took out violet colored contacts and placed them into her eyes with a small grimace and shudder, "No matter how many times I do that...it is still gross." with the contacts and wig in place, Corrin began to pluck her eyebrows once more, evenly shaping them before applying the colored dye to her eyebrows to match her wig, "Ugh..." glancing at her cell, she ignored the text from her friend telling her to hurry up, "Cosplay is patience." with that she quickly began to apply very light make up, 'It's a good thing Blackfire is so pale...' after placing a light sheen of petal pink lip gloss and plumper on her lips, Corrin went about placing Blackfire's signature outfit on her, person. Making sure the metal armor was in place and smoothing out the small skirt and the top before tugging on the thigh high black boots and sitting down on the toilet she began to paint her nails black, "Once dry...I'll be ready."

"Hey! Corrin! You almost done in there?!"

"How did you get into my hotel room?" Corrin glowered at the bathroom door a bit miffed hearing her friend, "Well?"

"...I hacked the system?"

"Uh-huh..."

"I asked your brother. He has a spare key remember? Anyways come on! I swear you and that One Piece kick! You shouldn't have gotten that manga!"

Rolling her eyes a bit and making sure her nails were dry, Corrin opened the bathroom door to stare down at her friend, "Well?"

"Okay you are what? 5'11 without those boots which add ...three inches. You are a monster."

"You are an ass."

"Yup! Meet you down in the lobby, you Scott!"

"...Rude." sighing a bit Corrin, spotted the small compass and placed it around her neck with a small smile, "This oddly looks good." glancing once more to her duffle bag she quickly threw everything she needed inside it as well as her Ipad and the many manga she had with her, "Seems I got everything good..." with that she hefted the bag up and opened her hotel door stepping out into the hallway only to freeze up, "What...the hell?"

For before her was not the fourth floor of the Marriot in LA but a beautiful beach in the distance, and around her lush greenery along with the voices of adults, teens and children doing various katas.

"...Huh!?"

"My name is Kuina! Who are you?"

"...Komand'r."

"Er...what?"

"Blackfire. Just call me Blackfire."

"That's a pretty name. So you lost? You been sitting out here for a while-you look about my age...twelve right?"

"..."

"Er hey Blackfire-ack!? Otou-san! Otou-san help-this girl she passed out!"

"My name is Zoro! Who the hell are you?!"

"Wow you sure are annoying, kiddo."

"I'll kill you-GAH! What the hell are you made out of?!"

"I have superhuman durability, kiddo."

"Pft trying to fight, Blackfire?"

"Kuina!"

"She is way out of your league, Zoro."

"Grrr...!"

"...Was he really this dumb as a kid?"

"What was that?! Come get some, bitchfire!"

"...Wow nice come back."

"Kuina is dead. She did not run away."

"She did! She ran away! That coward! How dare she-?!"

"That slap? That slap is for being a little shit! Think very hard on this; would she have really ran away?! Grow up, damn it! You are not the only one who loved her!"

"Zoro."

"What?"

"I'm going with you."

"Whatever..."

"..."

"...Hey Blackfire...did you really love her?"

"Yeah. I did."

"...I'll keep my promise! To her ...and to you."

"Yeah? I'll be here to make sure your sorry ass doesn't fail."

Gold Roger the "King of the Pirates" Had achieved it all.

Wealth, Fame and Power had all been his.

Not surprisingly, the final words he spoke before they lopped off his head inspired adventurers throughout the world to sail the seas.

"My treasure?" Roger began as a slow wicked grin made its way upon his face, his voice hoarse from days of unuse as his body began to tremble ever so slightly with laughter, "Why, it's right where I left it..."trailing off slightly as he felt the duel swords that were to behead him under his neck he threw his head back and laughed a hearty laugh one that a man who had truly lived could give, one full of everything he had experienced in his lifetime, "It's yours if you can find it...but you'll have to search the WHOLE WORLD!" when he finished with that shout, he felt the grin stretch wider as he stared into the clear blue sky and he knew what he started would make the new world then and there.

The world...is about to witness A GREAT ERA OF PIRACY!

Ten Years Later (give or take)

Corrin couldn't help but sigh as she flew across the skies of the small harbor village known as Foosha Village. Coming to a stop in mid-air, Corrin gave a small scowl as she glanced around ignoring the greetings she got from the villagers, 'Damn it, Zoro. I take my eyes off you for a moment and you have gotten lost already? I guess he really isn't on this island anymore.' growling as her hands began to glow lightly with lilac energy she willed herself to calm despite the mocking voice starting up, 'Shut up, Komand'r!'

Darling you shouldn't be worried about that idiot. It's the one who is currently shooting his arm out at you that you should worry about.

Blinking a bit Corrin stopped her argument with the imaginary voice she had obtained upon her arrival in this world ten years ago, of course she knew she was mentally ill and must be locked up or in a coma having a very realistic dream, "Huh-oh crap-AAAARGH! LUFFY!" the scream tore through her as the strong arm wrapped around her waist and she went sailing out of the sky at full speed, nails digging into the arm holding her, 'I am going to kill him!'

You do know just because you arrived here at age twelve and you are back to your starting age of twenty-three doesn't mean you have a full handle on well all this.

'If you mean the body of a Tamaran more specifically yours then you are correct!' Of course arguing with the voice in her head made total sense as she plummeted towards the ground hearing the laughter and her gaze sharpened on the seventeen year old dragging her down, "You...IDIOT!" as soon as she was near she let her fist ram into the smiling face of the teenage boy sending him flying while still holding onto her resulting in another shriek to leave her.

Monkey D. Luffy couldn't help but laugh despite the pain to his face and the blood he knew would be dripping from his nose as he held the older woman to him tightly, laying in the rubble of one of the many village storage sheds, he gave a wide-grin up at Corrin, "Blackfire!" bringing his face close to Corrin's, he smiled happily, "You made it! I thought you were going to be late! Shishishishi!"

Growling a bit as she pushed herself up, not bothering to use her superhuman strength since it would only encourage Luffy to use his own the Cosplayer turned Tamaran universe traveler (This still made no sense. Why didn't she at least dream about going into the DC world. Was it because she read the whole series before bed?!) could only give him the stink eye, "I'm not going with you."

"Of course you are! We are married!" Luffy gave a happy laugh only to yelp as his head was punched back about ten feet before quickly snapping into place tears in his eyes, "HEY! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"

"For being an idiot!" Corrin felt a large headache coming on knowing that in a way and legally this island they would be considered married. She would kill that mayor Woop Slap or whatever his name was for this, 'So a mayor here has the same right as a marine captain or a pirate captain or a judge to give weddings ugh.'

I am not married to this thing. He is not my type-nor yours-is he? Come on...let me out. Let me play a bit with him.

'No. You playing means the whole village would be destroyed.' Corrin backfired at the voice in her head before grimacing and finally getting out of Luffy's hold floating into the air a bit as she smoothed her trademark outfit down, "I'm leaving. I need to find my idiot-my other idiot." she clarified at Luffy's puzzled expression and gave a groan as the teen gave a cheery smile, "You know what. I'm going ahead."

"Heeey! Wait! Don't leave me! WIFE!"

"I'll KILL you!"

Corrin couldn't help but have a mental freak out seeing the Sea-King fly by after a punch as well as watching Luffy get swallowed up by a whirlpool despite recalling this happening in the series, "YOU IDIOT! I COULD OF CARRIED YOU!" pulling at her dark violet locks as she flew in the sky, she could not help wonder why she even really gave a damn knowing he would be just fine.

Look can we just get this show on the road already?

"...It's like dealing with Zoro..." the thought of her so to speak childhood friend of this world made her twitch violently as her eyes glowed lilac as well as her hands, "I am going to kill them both." she ignored the laughter in her head as she took off like a bullet through the sky towards Shell Town. She knew that is where Luffy would end up, she also knew Zoro would of been there for a while, "When I get my hands on you, you will regret walking out of my sight Roronoa Zoro!"

Roronoa Zora was not happy at all as the sun beat down on his fatigued body, it had been ten days since he got separated from Blackfire, and nine days since he had been tied to this cross on the Marine Base for saving a little girl from some idiot's pet, "Tsk...fuckers." eyes a bit sunken in as well as having large bags under his eyes the Pirate hunter swallowed trying to get what saliva he could to quench his dry throat, 'I can't believe she went and got lost. I thought she was right behind me.' a grimace set in once he thought of how she would of handled the mess in that bar, 'She would of taken him out with no remorse.' a smirk came upon his face as he thought of the woman's mastery of deception, subterfuge, and manipulation before it turned into a grimace, 'Shit she is going to kill me.' straightening up as he saw Marines walk by and watch him, he gave a glare worthy of a demon and watched them flee before he let his head droop down, sweat slowly dripping down from his temple towards his chin as he withheld a groan, 'Heh...this is nothing compared to the brutal training I go through with Blackfire. Just you wait...I'll be out of here in no time!'

~The Fool Arcana's Corner~

First off I want to give props for the idea of "Wife" to NibelungVelocity in her story Hanley which was the first SI version of One Piece that I had read where there was the "wife" idea. Give it a read it's good.

Second of all I went with this idea since we have seen plenty of "Death and Reborn" into the world and very few good "Actually dropped into the world" type OC fanfictions. (Remember there is a difference between Self Insert and Just a Character Insert.) We have also seen ones of cosplayers dropping in and suddenly taking the place of the character they are cosplaying as well...so I been brewing on this idea and what not.

The Mention of Suki-chan is that she is my favorite cosplayer. She does wonderful Hatake Kakashi (Who she is known for) as well as many others I personally love her Kakashi and Sanji cosplays myself. She is also sometimes at Crunchyroll stalls at conventions.

Anyways right the OC is named Corrin (Which will be Kamui the avatar from Fire Emblem IF's english name when the game comes out next year in December) and I just like the name. I used this idea of suddenly appearing and mentions of going crazy because well think of it this way...

You read a whole series in one night, don't sleep (Or if you do), and suddenly you happen to be there? Wait did that make sense? Meh. Whatever let me start again.

Corrin was twelve when One Piece first came out, she is now twenty-three. A professional cosplayer, suddenly walking out of her hotel room and appearing in another world having de-aged. Why would that even happen along with suddenly appearing in another world?

Think on it. It doesn't not even have to be that she suddenly became a Tamaran in a totally wrong series (It cold be anything, she could of been Naruto, Goku, etc) and would have to get used to the new body and the new abilities that comes with it along with the many stages of grief and/or denial.

Of course the core personality that is the actual Blackfire WOULD be there which would conflict with Corrin's own personality which would slowly drive one crazy. The battle of wills for the one who is in charge of the body. Along with the fright of being in a new world, thinking you are crazy and loosing yourself it would add to a great deal of ...would it be called stress? Hm...well it's hard to explain.

Anyways if this gets a positive feedback (And I don't just mean a please update or a pairing vote) I will continue. Heck I might just write the chapters and what not...but not post. Who knows.

Oh yes. Most people have the OC meet Luffy, Ace, Sanji or Shanks first. I thought it would be interesting to have Corrin meet Kuina and then by default Zoro first.

P.S: Since this is an OC who turned into Blackfire so to speak it does not need to be in the cross-over section since this is a paperclip and will follow the One Piece story line with many twists and turns. If more than five or six people do tell me to put it in the cross-over section I will.
