I can see why people hate pirates; these pirates that have "raised" me are literal scum of the earth. They capture, rape and enslave men, women and children without a care in the world. They are disgusting wastes of space, but they are like those bastards who think they are the gods of this world. The World Nobles. But no matter, after the three years ive been on this ship each of my attempts have been stopped. The captain is strong for a pirate of one of the blues. He's a devil fruit user, so that probably explains it, he ate the block-block fruit it's a paramecia type fruit which allows him to create blocks from thin air. He builds walls and traps me on the ship and pours in extremely powerful knockout gas, which doesnt affect me anywhere near as much as it would a normal person. But it weakens me enough for them to knock me out.

I always wake up in the same room, a small little cubby hole with a double bed and the same worn out pillow and blanket. The captain enslaved a woman to take care of me as a child, for these past few years she is the only one who hasnt beaten me. In fact, she's taken care of me like I was her child, because I remind her of hers. Her name is May, ive taken to call her Aunt May because I knew my own mother before she died and to honour her memory I wouldnt dare give someone else her title.

Apparently, her son's name is peter, which fucked me right up. Aunt May and Peter, Peter Parker; I learned after I asked. Not only that but Dr Banner was one of the scientists I overheard being mentioned, im not entirely sure if someone is fucking with me or not but there are defiantly some marvel characters in one piece now. But then again you could say I was in something like the weapons X project... Fuck.

Anyway, ive adapted quite a bit to life on a ship. Ive gotten used to the loud sound of cannon fire, used to the pain of being shot, kicked, beaten and cut. I got used to the smell of vomit and alcohol and blood. My body heals quickly, a broken bone is fixed in a week. Most cuts and bruises are healed within a day. But the scars always remain.

When I turned 5 years old, the captain did something that I could never forgive him for. He killed aunt may. And put a Sea-Prism Stone bullet in my arm. Because of this I'm pretty but a normal person, my muscles aren't as rapidly growing as they were nor is my body healing as fast.

Any chance of escape was just cut in half, twice over.

Despite the bullet, I could still function. I could still move, and I could still train. My will was strong and so is my body. I spent another two years working my ass off to get stronger; any time I had alone I was sneaking around and stealing things from these bastard pirates. Any time the ship was attacked I fought and fought, attempting to jump ship to escape but not once did I succeed, the captain made sure of that.

I walked freely around the ship, at the age of 7 years old, carrying myself with strength I felt like I didnt have. I carried two pistols in my belt, both holstered in tightly, I also carried a small knife tucked into my boot. I knew how to use all my weapons with ease, I could shoot accurately from one end of the ship to the other. I could cut through skin and break bone easily with my dagger... This is all without the powers my body holds, if that bullet was out I could easily escape or, so I think.

It's strange to say but I made a few friends among this ship, well one person. The chef, a man with long dark hair and the starting of a beard growing. He was a large man, standing at 6-7ft tall and almost pure muscle. He was the one who taught me how to shoot and he gave me my two pistols, sure he stole them off some marines but still. He took care of me, fed and watered me when I wouldve been left to starve with the small portions I would be given by the captain and other chefs.

I never learned his name, nor did I care too but the man helped me out... Hopefully he'll help me out one last time.

"Whatcha doing there squirt?" The big man said to me as I walked into his room.

"I wanted to ask for a favour..." I gained a faraway look, I willed my body to stop shaking but it refused to listen. "I-...C-can you remove the bullet in my arm?" I bowed low, throwing away the pride I held within myself. "please" my squeaky voice pleaded, tears began to build up in my purple eyes.

The man didnt say another word, I stood there in stunned silence as he pulled out a knife and looked down at me with an unreadable look.

I thought this could be the end... The look he gave me was sending chills down my spine, I was terrified. He brought the knife down with such speed and accuracy my eyes could barely follow. I snapped my eyes shut, flinching away to try and save myself but only to feel a pain in my arm.

"There, it's out. Now if youre going to run I suggest you go fast, or else youre going to get another one in the other arm." the man's voice spoke out to me, I look at the bullet in the man's hand. I could feel the power brew back up within me, I rise and pop my neck and sprint out the door.

I dont look back, I run through the ship as fast as my feet can carry me. I break down the door to the main deck, pull out the knife from my boot and cut the ropes holding up the lifeboat I prepared earlier and dive into it. Only to slam into a floor of blocks protruding from the side of the ship.

"Fuck!" I roar in frustration as I get raised up into the air. I come face to face with the man who caused me so much pain for so many years. "I'm going to kill you, and I'll take your fruit as a trophy." I can feel it, the radiation coming from the blocks of random materials. Its fuelling me, making me stronger.

"I'd like to see you try boy" he spat the word with distaste. "I kept you safe on my boat for 6 years, it's because of me that youre still alive and this is how you repay me. It's time for you to die!" The man pulled out a pistol, one I am familiar with. I know it's loaded with sea-prism bullets and I cannot get hit by them.

He fires off three shots in a rapid succession, but I quickly weave around them with my dagger in hand. I watch them fly by my head in slow motion that I almost laughed at their speed. My knife wrapped in my grip was dug into the man's elbow, forcing him to drop his pistol. I swiftly grabbed it before it slammed into the ground and shot him in his knee, disabling his devil fruit powers.

"What was that about killing me captain." I spat the man's title out, literally. The glob of saliva dripped off the man's chin as he smirked. Alarm bells rang in my head as I felt the 20 men that surrounded me, all aiming guns. "Well shit."

I didnt hesitate, I was quick without my powers. Being nearly the fastest on the crew, but these powers of mine made me god level compared to east blue level pirates. These guys are only worth 5,000,000 too! Theyre pathetic.

I sprint at full speed, blurring at speeds that could compare to captain Kuro. I fire my two guns, holstering the captains side arm in my right holster. I shoot to wound and to cripple, but I do end up killing three of the unfortunate bastards who moved. The remaining 17 pirates fell to the ground with a cry of pain, clutching limbs with tears in their pathetic eyes. Their pleads made me sick.

"So, captain any final words?" I swap the gun in my right hand for his side arm, I reload the pistol with ease and line it up with his temple. I look over at a barrel of apples, hoping to prove a theory of mine.

"Go to hell!" the man spits out.

"See you there, scum." I pulled the trigger and watched the man's corpse fall to the ground in a pool of blood. Some men cry out for him, some celebrate his death. I do nothing, only walk over to the barrel of apples and pick up the fruit with lots of swirls covering its brown skin.

"Listen up! All of you will give me everything of value, every weapon and every round of ammo. If not, I begin killing you." I spoke with an eerie calm in my voice, scaring even myself. The men needed no more incentive as they ran around like headless chickens. I sat myself up on top of a barrel and pick up another apple, a non-devil fruit one, and take a bite. I look at the devil fruit in my left hand, I can feel the radiation coming from it. It was healing my tired muscles from their use in the previous fight.

It took the pirates nearly an hour to round up everything on the ship that wasnt nailed down, and another half an hour to organise it for me. They only organised it after I shot two more of them.

I took my pick from the weapons before me, I took two new pistols swapping out my shitty ones, I took two new knives and strapped them into my boots. I finished up by taking a lever action rifle and strapped it to my back.

I got myself some clean clothes and proper holsters for all my weapons, I keep the captains side arm hidden in my new black leather jacket. My two pistols around my waist on a black leather belt which is holding up my pair of blue jeans, I walk with ease in my pair of steel toe capped boots. I was kind of surprised to have clothes fitting me on the ship, but then again, I am not the same size as a normal 7-year-old. If people were to guess my age I think they would say I was 14... I think im one of those tall humans in the one-piece world, maybe it's because of my father. Apparently, he was tall, whoever he is or was. All's I know is he is a high-ranking marine, and a dick.

I sailed away from the ship with a smile on my face, the ship I was on was used for buying food and supplies on islands with small ports, so it was pretty spacious for just me. The hold was full of food and armor, as well as the rotting body of the captain and spare weapons and ammo for me. And whatever treasure and money those pirates had with them.

Growing up on a ship had its perks, for me anyway, such as learning how to navigate the seas. Using one of the maps I stole of the pirates, I navigated my way to loguetown in hopes of claiming the bounty on this prick before he stinks up my ship more than he already is. I was also hoping on selling some weapons and get some supplies before finding some random ass island and training my ass off. There is one question I need to ask myself, do I want to join Luffy or not.

Now there is plus sides to this, I know for a fact I will encounter devil fruit users with Luffy. I will be protected, and I will be fed, will also get to travel with people I grew up watching... Downsides, I won't be able to hide being from another world easily. I'll probably get easily annoyed by everyone and be driven insane, and my life will be in constant danger. But I will defiantly have an adventure.

If I form my own crew however, maybe a year before or after Luffy I will have free reign as to where we go. I can stop certain events before they happen, and I can meet new people. And I can work towards a goal, my goal to kill the World Nobles. To let every man woman and child live their own life and not the life of a slave... Im going to break the chains.

My name is Virgil, previously Virtus, from now on I will be the breaker of chains.

Hello everyone, I hope youve enjoyed the story so far.

I'm coming right out and asking for you guys to decide, Join the straw hats or own crew? Even if it's his own crew, Virgil will still encounter the straw hats and might join the Straw hat grand fleet.

I've been thinking of creating our own crew, it'll have a good few OC's in it Unfortunatly. Most of them will be from different fictions, such as Marvel and DC and even some other anime. (Virgil himself is based off Superman, sea-prism stone is his Kryptonite. He has incredible speed and strength and has god like power. He won't have it straight away, im having him grow his powers through contact with devil fruits and devil fruit users.)

Here are some possible crewmates and their positions.

Eagle-eye. (Aka Hawkeye) The sniper! Uses bow with changeable arrows with different effects, flaming arrows, poison tipped, explosive etc.

The hulk. Inventor/Scientist. Devil fruit user, rage-rage no mi. Creates weaponry and upgrades for the ship and crew.

Flash, devil fruit. Quick quick no mi. Swordsman or scout.

Aqua man, half Fishmen and human. Navigator, uses a trident.

OC. Zombie, devil fruit user. Zombie Zombie no mi, kills the user and turns them into an immortal walking talking corpse. Cannot die unless completly submerged in sea water for extended period of time or burned to ash. Can raise other corpses as minions and can infect living people with a virus which turns them upon their death.

Thats all for now, most of them are based off superheroes so far because I honestly thought it would be a cool idea. Maybe im the only one but oh well, im writing this for fun.

Hope you all enjoyed, review or pm me with suggestions and feedback.
