Wassup people, here's the next Chapter. There won't be many changes to the One Piece world in this chapter because we're still in an introductory phase, but there will be one in the next chapter. As usual, there's an author's note at the end of the story. In the Marineford arc, Whitebeard will die, no questions asked, however you have the option to change two things. Should Enzo take over as the Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and if I start seeing yes I'll give you another option, Should I rename the Whitebeard Pirates after Enzo takes over, as it's essentially the young generation succeeding the old. The second option you have is whether Ace should die or nah. I'll have them both up as a poll until I reach near the end of the Impel Down arc.
Drinor: I hope you update soon
Here you go, my friend
Tanya Degurechaff: This story bout to be lit as hell
I'm aiming to make it one of my best.
Chapter Two: Meeting Ace and the Straw Hats
Paradise, the first half of the grand line that was named by pirates returning from the second half of the Grand Line due to it being a 'paradise' compared to it. Located in Paradise was Sandy Island, a large island that was filled with... well sand, and the fourth island of the Grand Line. Sandy Island is also the home to the Alabasta Kingdom, a kingdom with a long history and architecture similar to Middle Eastern and Moorish buildings. Located in south-east Alabasta is Nanohana, the central port city that handles the most imports and exports in all of Arabasta that goes outside.
"Oh! Anchan, I haven't seen you around these parts. Is this your first time in Alabasta? What do you think? Have a look! It's a golden apple," an old merchant said as he tries to sell a 'golden' apple to a young man, however, the young seemed to be ignoring him.
"Wait a minute! I have something to tell you in private," the merchant said in a rush. The young man stopped momentarily and gave the merchant his attention. "I found this incredible treasure when exploring some ancient ruins! If you take one bite of this mysterious golden apple, you can live for a thousand years!" the merchant whispered to the young man, trying to convince him to buy the apple. However, the young man said "Sorry, but I've no interest in living for a thousand years. It's enough if I can live through today," and walked off. Fortunate for the old merchant a young man with a long nose, and what appeared to be a reindeer and man fusion was staring at the apple in awe.
A few yards down from the merchant, the young man from earlier was asking an old lady if she saw someone on a wanted poster, however, the old lady said she hasn't seen them, and that he should try the restaurant down the street. The young man is tall and muscular with curly black hair and had rather childish freckles. He had a tattoo on his back of the Whitebeard pirates—purple bones formed in a cross behind a purple skull with a white mustache and another tattoo on his upper left bicep that spells 'ASCE' vertically with the 'S' crossed out. He wore black boots, black knee-length shorts with an eyelet-studded orange belt, and a blue pouch belted around his left leg. He also wore a short second belt with a large red 'A' on the silver buckle over his right hip but left it unfastened and threaded the free end along the back of his shorts, he also had a dagger in a green sheath that hung at his left hip. On his left arm, he wore a Log Pose, a compass-like gravitational device that functions by recording the magnetic waves of one island after another in the Grand Line, the needle points to that island so the user can travel there, and a red and white striped bracelet around his wrist, an orange elbow guard, and his 'ASCE' tattoo. He wore a red beaded necklace and an orange hat with two blue smileys, one frowning and one smiling, and a string of red beads sitting above the rim. Two long orange side straps hung downsides of his hat and met at a large medallion of a bull's skull with orange tassels. (probably wasn't the best time for a description. if you seeing this then I didn't change where this was)
Before the young man could start walking towards the restaurant, a crow landed on his head and started to speak, "Ace, you're taking too long, and now she's emptying the restaurant nearby," the crow says, strangely sounding like a human child. The newly revealed Ace(we both know you knew who it was), in a slight panic, starts to run to the restaurant while shouting, "LEAVE SOME FOOD FOR ME!" with the crow following him with a sweat drop on its head.
A few seconds of running later, Ace enters the restaurant and sees a beautiful 17 y.o. girl with long black hair that reaches down to her knees and red eyes, wearing a dark sleeveless dress with a white collar, a red tie, a red belt that has a red side skirt cover over a black, pleated skirt, long black socks, black shoes, red gauntlets, and black gloves, eating a large piece of meat with a plate filled with bones beside her, and everyone else in the restaurant watching her in awe. Ace immediately joined in devourer the food on the table with the crow joining him, albeit at a slower pace.
"Where will we meet father," the crow on Ace's shoulder asked. Unfortunately Ace couldn't answer him due to falling asleep. Feeling a bit irked from that, the crow started to peck Ace in his head while the young girl ignored them and continued eating her food in peace. Unfortunately, when the crow started to peck Ace, his head turned to flames which made the crow's pecks ineffective. Ace did wake up from the effort, and said, "Stupid Murasame, you know you can't hit me, I ate the Mera Mear no Mi." Mera Mera no Mi, a fruit that turns its user into a flame man which means that this fruit is a Logia, and due to it being a Logia, Murasame cannot damage Ace unless he attacks fast enough that Ace cannot turn his body into flames on reflex, uses haki, or kairoseki(Seastone), a mineral that the same wavelength as the sea and drains a devil fruit user of their stamina, and nullify their powers. "Anyways, what did you need," Ace continued as he continued eating. Although still annoyed, Murasame repeats himself "Where will we meet father." Ace swallowed the food that was in his mouth and replied "I don't know, the only thing pops told me was that he was meeting us somewhere here, and how is he your dad anyway?" Ace asked. "He is my creator, hence I call him father," Murasame replied. Ace nodded before saying "And how about you Akame?" while pointing towards the silent teen. Akame blinked before answering "He is my shishou," as she tilts her head a bit before continuing to eat in silence. Ace chuckled awkwardly before following Akame's example.
A few minutes later, everyone finished eating, and Ace asked the bartender if he saw the person on the wanted person, however, before the bartender could reply someone else said something. "I guess you don't have a problem with eating in public, Commander of the Whitebeard Pirate's Second Division, Portgas D. Ace," a muscular, white-haired, and brown-eyed man smoking two cigars at once, wearing brown leather gloves, blue jeans with a brown belt, and large military-issue brown leather boots, a large thick white and blue specialist marine jacket which was kept open, with greenish fur lining the neck, wrists, and hem, on the back of the jacket was the kanji for "justice", and he also had a pair of goggles around his neck.
Everyone in the restaurant started to whisper, "W-Whitebeard, The Whitebeard Pirates!?", "That dumbass guy is a part of the Whitebeard Pirates!?", "I knew I saw that mark on his back before...!", "It's definitely the Whitebeard Pirates!", "Why is he here?", and more. "What business does an infamous pirate like you have in this country?" asked the marine. "I'm searching for my little brother," Ace said as he turn to face the marine. A few seconds passed with a staredown between pirate and marine before Ace inquired " So then... what should I do?" "Sit there and let me arrest you," the marine replied. "Rejected. I'd rather not," Ace replied smoothly. "Well, that's what I expected." the marine said before he sighed, "Right Now. I'm looking for a different pirate, I'm not really interested in your head," he said. "Then let me go," Ace argued. "I can't do that..." the marine said as raised his right arm, and it started to turn to smoke, "As long as I'm a Marine... and you're a pirate," he continued. "What a dumb reason... Shall we have some fun then?" Ace replied as he raised an eyebrow. As the Marine and Pirate proceed to have another staredown, a voice was slowly getting louder in the background "[Gomu Gomu no ROCKET]!" was heard as something crashed into the marine, who then slammed into Ace, and both of them were launched through the wall of the building while gathering a small dust cloud.
A young man jumped out of the dust cloud and shouted, "A restaurant! I finally found one! Now I can eat! I'm starving!" in excitement while simultaneously revealing himself as the 'thing' that crashed into the smoking marine(no pun intended). The young man has black shaggy hair, round black eyes, a slim muscular build, and a scar with two stitches underneath his left eye. He was wearing short, blue trousers with cuffs, sandals, a sleeveless red vest, and a straw hat on his head. "Ossan! Food, food, food! I need it bad!" he shouted to the bartender, as he glued himself to a stool.
A few seconds later, the young man shouted " Whoa! This is such a great restaurant!" while stuffing his face. "Y-Yeah... Thanks, but you... You should probably get the hell away from here." "How come?" The straw hat-wearing teen asked, "Do you know exactly who you just sent flying?" the bartender asked. "Sent flying Who did that?" the young man asked. "Caw~, you did," Murasame said, still in the restaurant because he flew from Ace's shoulder to Akame's, who was staring at fluffy with her head tilted in curiosity when he sensed someone coming towards the restaurant at high speeds. The young man, not paying attention to who replied said "I did that? To who?" The bartender just pointed his thumb to the hole in the wall, and several walls after it. "What's that hole there for?" the young man asked cluelessly, "This restaurant is pretty weird. Is that your hobby," he continued, ignorant to the fact that he made the hole. "YOU"RE THE ONE WHO DID IT!" everyone in the restaurant except Murasame and Akame shouted. "Me? When?" the young man asked (when I rewatched this scene, I lowkey was about to laugh at this).
"Asshole...Who the hell was that? Jeez...!" Ace said as he finally got out of the rumble. "Messing with me..." the marine said as he also got up, aggravated. "What's the big idea? Doing that to me..." Ace said as he walks through the holes of multiple buildings back to the restaurant. After apologizing to a family he saw eating at a dinner table, and finished the walk back, Ace was surprised to see the straw hat-wearing teen and shouted "Oi! Lu-" but before he could finish, the marine pushed him face-first in the ground, and shouted "Mugiwara(Straw hat)!" as he walks back into the restaurant aggressively.
"I've been looking for you, Mugiwara. I knew you'd come to Alabasta," as he stopped a few feet away from the young pirate, who was still stuffing his face while staring at the marine. "STOP EATING!" the marine yelled, annoyed that Mugiwara was still staring at him while eating. Meanwhile, Akame was staring at the two of them conversing with head tilted, and Murasame was laughing at Ace. A few seconds later, Mugiwara grabbed all his food and dipped with the marine pursuing, and Ace followed them while shouting "Wait, Luffy! It's me!"
"Should we follow them?" Akame asked as she turned to Murasame. The crow sighed and nodded as he transformed into a moderately curved katana with a white edge and a distinct blue hamon that has the appearance of flames, a golded tsuba that was shaped like a rounded cross pattée, and a black hilt in Akame's arms as she then sheathed him in a black sheath that was at the left side of her waist. Akame then ran after the trio.
After a few minutes of chasing Akame finally caught up when Ace confronted the marine while saying "Give it up. You may be smoke, but I am fire. With our abilities, a fight would be pointless," while flames were flowing off different parts of his body. "That guy he has a Devil's Fruit ability?" a young man wearing an orange keffiyeh with a gold chain on his head, a long-sleeved white coat with black lines all over it black trousers that were torn above his ankles, and black boots, asked from beside Luffy. "Who the hell is he? Why is he helping us?" another young man with a long nose asked from beside Luffy. "Ace!" Luffy whispered in shock. "You never change, Luffy" Ace said as he glanced back at Luffy. "Ace...It's Ace! You ate a Devil's Fruit!?" Luffy asked surprised. "Yeah, the Mera Mera no Mi" Ace replied
"Captain Smoker! Your orders!?" a large number of marines asked as they all lined up behind the smoking captain. "Anyway, we can't talk like this! I'll catch up later! You guys run for it! I'll keep these guys busy!" Ace shouted to fluffy and his small crew. "Caw~~ we might as well help him," Murasame said from his sheath to Akame. Akame nodded and jumped down from the building she was at, landing beside Ace skillfully, "We'll help," she said to Ace. "I don't get it. Why did you help Mugiwara?" Smoker asked in confusion. "Heh, having a younger brother who's a bit on the slow side makes his older brother worry." "What do you mean 'younger brother'? That means..." Smoker said in realization, however before he could continue Murasame spoke from his sheath once more, "Can we get this over with, I just want to see my father."
Ace immediately sends a wave of flames towards the marines, however, Smoker blocks it by sending a wave of smoke from his arms via the Moku Moku no Mi, a devil fruit that turns the user into smoke. The smoke and fire clashed while rising in the air like a tornado. The clash knocked out most of the marines however, some were still up until Akame knocked them out via a sheath to the back of the head without them knowing. A few minutes later, Akame, Murasame, and Ace all escape from Smoker and meet up with Luffy in an alleyway where Ace and Luffy shared a small arm wrestling contest while talking about the past. "Your nakama are probably looking for you." Ace says as he reaches into his bag for a can of water. "Yeah, but Ace... what are you doing in this country?" Luffy asked. "Huh, what? Didn't you get my message in Drum?" Ace asked in confusion. "In Drum," Luffy said in confusion. "Well, never mind. It wasn't anything important. I have some business to take care of in this part of the ocean. I figured I'd try to meet up with you," Ace said. "I'm with the Whitebeard Pirates now." Ace says as he passes the can of water to Luffy. "Whitebeard Pirates?" Luffy asks confused. "This is the mark of the WHitebeard Pirates, my greatest pride," Ace says as he shows Luffy the Tattoo on his back. "Luffy, how about joining the Whitebeard Pirates? Your nakama too of course," Ace offered. "No," Luffy replied bluntly. Ace chuckled a bit and said "Yeah, thought so. Just thought I'd ask. Whitebeard is the greatest pirate I've ever known. I've decided to make that man the Pirate King. Not you, Luffy." "So what? It's just one more person I'll have to fight. I'm going to become the Pirate King," Luffy said simply. Akame was just silently watching while Murasame just wanted to get to his father.
The trio of humans and one sword-crow hybrid started to walk towards the harbor, however, a large group of bandits blocked them from moving forward. wanting to get this over with, Akame decided to deal with the bandits, so she walked in front of the group and said "[Night Style: Cross Tail]," as she quickly unsheathed Murasama and Swung her sword in towards all the bandits before sheathing it, all within the blink of an eye. "Let's go," AKame says to Ace and Luffy, as she turns towards them, and behind her, all the bandits drop to the ground dead with blood leaking from the cut in their chests. "Join my crew!" Luffy shouted in awe of her skills. "No," Akame bluntly refuses as she starts walking again. "Join my crew!" Luffy repeats once more while running after Akame with Ace slowly following him. Akame refuses once more, however, Luffy asked again, so Akame starts ignoring him until they get to the harbor. Luffy seeing his ship immediately stretched out and grabbed it before pulling himself aboard. Murasame transformed from his sword form and asked "What fruit did he eat?" as Luffy just stretched his arms 130 yds with ease. "Gomu Gomu no Mi, it turned him into a rubber man," Ace replies as he gets the small boat that could use his powers as a propeller.
The Gomu Gomu no Mi, A Devil Fruit that turns its consumer into a rubber man. The Gomu Gomu no Mi is also a part of the Paramecia Devil Fruits, a type of Devil Fruit that allows the user to achieve one of a large variety of abilities that enable their consumers to become superhuman or perform a superhuman feat by altering the user's body, giving them the ability to alter the environment, or generate a substance; Most Paramecia only do one of these, however, some could do all depending on how they're used. Paramecia are also the most common devil fruits, unlike Logia which are the rarest.
"And just who can you beat?" Ace asks as he jumped onto Luffy's ship when he heard Luffy say if they fought now he'd win. Akame also following Ace's example also jumped onto the ship while Murasame flew up and landed on Ace's had. "These are the nakama I was telling you about," Luffy says as he turns to Ace. "Oh, why hello everyone. I trust my brother has been in your care," Ace says. "Yes, he has," everyone says in unison. A few minutes later, Ace, Akame, and Murasame were sitting in the ship after Ace destroyed a few Baroque Works ships. Baroque Works is a criminal organization created by the Warlord Crocodile, to take over the kingdom of Alabasta which is what Luffy and his friends are trying to help the process of the country, Vivi, prevent. The Seven Warlords of the Sea were seven extremely powerful Pirate Captains who entered into the service of the World Government, and in return for their alliance with the World Government, every member's bounty was frozen and they had significantly more leeway to commit crimes.
"So let's do introductions, I'll go first. My name is Nefertari Vivi, and I'm the princess of Alabasta." Vivi, a young woman with long wavy light blue hair, with two locks hanging down, one on either side of her head, wearing a dancer outfit with a blue and pink top and long skirt, and a white scarf.
"Guess I'm next. My name is Nami, and I'm the navigator of the crew," said a slim young woman of average height with orange hair and brown eyes, has a blue tattoo on her left shoulder and was wearing a blue and purple halter top with a pink shroud, and a white skirt with the top part blue that was a bit torn up at the bottom.
"~I'll go after Nami-swan~ and Vivi-swan~. I'm Sanji, Chef for these beautiful ladies~," Sanji says. Sanji is a slim, yet muscular, long-legged man with blond hair which he keeps brushed over the left side of his face, unique eyebrows that form a spiral at the end. Sanji was wearing a blue jacket-like attire suited for the desert in addition to orange sunglasses. Sanji was about to flirt with Akame, however, he felt a strong presence daring him to, like a falcon stacking its prey, ready to dive in for the kill at a moment's notice, so he decides it's better to be safe than sorry.
"I'm Tony Tony Chopper, Doctor of the ship," Chopper says. Chopper is a toddler-sized human/reindeer hybrid. He's wearing a large blue-collar shirt with giant sleeves and dark-blue liners and on his head is a large pale red/pink fuzzy top hat with a sideways medical cross.
"I'm Roronoa Zoro, the first mate, a swordsman," Zoro said in simplicity. Zoro is a muscular man of average height with lightly tanned skin with three katanas on his right hip. He is wearing an orange keffiyeh that covered his cropped green hair, with a gold chain on his head, a long-sleeved white coat with black lines all over it black trousers that were torn above his ankles, and black boots.
"I'm Usopp, captain, and sniper," said Usopp, a slim tan-skinned teenager with medium-length black woolly hair, prominent lips, and a long nose. Usopp was wearing a brown keffiyeh under a pair of goggles, and a dull green and black striped desert cloak. As soon as Usopp said that, his nose seemed to grow a bit, and a song started to play in the background "Why the FUC-ahem let's get back to the introductions.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the true captain, and the man who'll become the king of all pirates!" Luffy introduced himself energetically.
"Alright, I guess it's our turn, I'm Portgas D. Ace, Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates," Ace introduces himself with a lot of pride at the end.
"I'm Yatogami Murasame, one of my father's greatest creations," Murasame said which left everyone except Ace and Akame confused(they don't know he can transform into a sword).
"Yatogami Akame," was all Akame said.
With introductions done, everyone started to celebrate eat. "This is great! Ace is our nakama!" Usopp shouted. "Kanpai!" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper cheered. "Who said I'd be your nakama?" Ace asked. The trio ignored Ace and continued to cheer. "Don't worry about them, these guys are always looking for a reason to Kanpai," Nami told Ace.
"Ace, are you really gonna become our nakama?" Luffy asked excitedly. "I'm in pursuit of a man," Ace says before he took a sip of his beer, "He's known as Blackbeard," he continues. "Blackbeard?" Usopp says with a sweatdrop. "The pirate that sacked the Kingdom of Drum?" Vivi asked rhetorically. "He used to be a member of Whitebeard Pirates, Second Division. My subordinate. Until he committed the greatest crime you can on a pirate ship. He murdered his nakama and fled the ship... AS the commander, I have to find him and finish him off," Ace says seriously.
"Oh? So even though I warned the old man about him, he didn't take my advice," a smooth masculine voice said from the ship's crow nest. Everyone stood up alarmed because they didn't even know that someone was there, except Akame and Murasame, they stood and looked at the crow's nest with hope in their eyes.
"Who's there?" Zoro asks a bit aggressively. A figure jumps from the crow nest and lands on the deck, kicking up a small dust cloud. "The name's Yatogami D Enzo, master blacksmith, and the father to Yatogami Akame, and Murasame," The figure says as the dust cloud parts and reveals Enzo in his usual kimono, and a kasa with strings of cloth hanging from the sides and back(The hats that the Akasuki wore in Naruto Shippuden).
~~Next Chapter: New apprentices~~
AN: Ha, bet you didn't expect Akame to be in there. You'll be getting her back story next chapter. The main reason I added Akame was because I wanted Enzo to inherit his dad's fatherly nature, he mainly inherited his appearance from his mother, so I gave him something from his dad. And no Akame isn't a part of the pairing, his only girl will be Yamato
I'm adding a few more character's from other anime as his children, and I'll try to adapt their technique to One Piece. Akame's original Murasame would be too OP, so I gave her the Murasame from Hakkenden. Probably add Kurome, not 100% sure. I already know a few that I'll be adding, I just need to decide when. Most likely none off the characters will affect the story too much, except Akame, maybe, I'm not sure yet
Akame's Night Style is basically moves that are based on the different Night Raid fighting styles. Feel free to comment on different fight styles and moves.
