Assassin the Sinner

by Ghostunderasheet

Assassin was not their Nakama. But he wanted to be. Before meeting the Strawhat Pirates, Assassin was many things. Genderless, fearless, friendless and Bladeless. But maybe meeting this strange crew can change that. If Zoro stops being suspicious, Nami stops freaking out and Luffy can take this seriously for once. Genderless!OC Family-centric. Extra crew-members (to be listed)

1. Introduction

This is Ghostunderasheet again, with another One Piece story. This is not another OC-comes-along-for-the-ride fic. Things CHANGE. The same arcs happen and we meet the same people, but with different results and different events and consequences.

This is also not a OC-is-just-an-excuse-to-make-a-pairing fic, because romance is very much so NOT the focus here. Everything is on Nakamaship, honor, family, duty, freedom, struggle, justice, etc. I am not telling you what Assassin's gender is until the rest of the Strawhats figure it out, so until then I'll just be switching back and forth between the masculine and feminine pronouns, 'he' and 'she' depending on whose POV it is.

I am not telling you Assassin's backstory all at once. Bits and pieces are going to be revealed and you can put them together however you like until I give you the rest of the story, but don't be impatient because I'm planning for the long-haul here.

I've ONLY come up with what OCs are inevitable to build backstory for Assassin, and none of them play too much of a major role in the plot, I'm inventing parents, mentor for the time skip, etc. Nothing more than that.

I beta myself as best I can for grammar and spelling, so please try not to be too harsh on me in that area. Constructive criticisms are fully welcome!

I try really hard not to just re-use the dialogue and plot from the main canon, so there are spots where I basically just say 'and then he told them his story about _' and assume that you already know what it is, because you read the manga/watched the anime on your own and aren't an amnesiac who can't remember on your own. You don't need to read it again. If you really don't remember, use the wiki. If you actually haven't, then wtf are you doing in this fanfiction when you could be appreciating ACTUAL One Piece right now? Go do that.
