Remnants of One Piece

Wealth, fame, power... Ozpin D. Branwen, the King of the Pirates obtained this and everything else the world had to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to seas.

"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it!"

These words lured men to the Grand Line in pursuit of dreams greater than they've ever dared to imagine! This is the time known as 'The Great Pirate Era'!

The island of Patch, an island famed for the lovely Dawn Kingdom and its varied landscape. Our focus shifts to the village on the other side of where the humble village of Littleroot when one who think it was a peaceful place to raise a family. It would the hometown of someone who was going to start their journey.

"Today's the day I'll go to become King of the Pirates!" A cheerful voice yelled out.

"Ruby, don't you mean Queen of the Pirates?" A humble barmaid said to her with her.

"Makino, King or Queen, it doesn't matter." Ruby said good-naturedly. "I want to be the freest person in the seas!"

New Pirate Rookie, Ruby D. Rose, was a seventeen-year-old upstart who wanted to be just her big half-sister, Yang Xiao Long, who ran off four years prior to become a pirate. She was a fair-skinned young girl with silver eyes and black, neck-length, mess hair that gradates to dark red at the tips with a small ponytail in the back. She stood at five feet seven and a half inches which to this world was somewhat considered short. She wore short, black trousers with cuffs, sandals, a sleeveless red vest, and a ruby red cloak laced with different kinds of dust to act as a shield. She also had a straw hat on her head which was a gift from her uncle and one of the Yonkos of the sea, Qrow D. Branwen of the Black Crow Pirates to return when she became Pirate Queen. Many would say she had a scrawny looking appearance, but she hid a rather built body under her clothes. She was slowly catching up to her sister in body and bust in due time.

The mayor of the village was among those who wanted to see her off as she entered her small fishing boat with her backpack and a few supplies.

"Well, this is it. Today, I sent out to become the Ki…I mean Queen of the Pirates!" Ruby shouted. "Goodbye everyone!"

"Well go on then! Break your dad's heart, just like Yang did. He wanted you two to grow up to become Marines!" The mayor shouted with tears in his eyes. "He spent time to train you!"

"I can't be a Marine, there's too many rules." Ruby said simply. "He'd understand why."

Ruby set sail only for a massive Sea King to come out of the water. Ruby glared at it as it was the reason Qrow nearly lost his arm to save her. Decided to reserve her powers and her weapon, Ruby gave the Sea King a backhand send it flopping miserably on shore.

"Go ahead and cook it up. Eat well and remember this day! The day the Future Queen of the Pirates set sail!"

Ruby was in for a journey of adventure, madcap insanity, and the stuff of good dreams and frothing nightmares.

Unknown Island, New World

Yang was packing her own things to leave on a journey of her own. She had sailed as a captain of her own crew for a year before sailing under the Whitebeard Pirate for three years joining his banner. She was practically the first woman "fighter" crewmate under Whitebeard. She had proved her stones all those years ago by boldly fighting Whitebeard when she and her crew, the Dragon Pirates, had encountered the Whitebeard Pirates. She had lost the fight, but she had impressed him enough to let her join working her way up to be his second division commander. She was the gateway to bringing in a few more women combatants. She too had changed since her beginning. Yang D. Xiao Long was a woman who towered over the average woman at six feet two and at about twenty-one years of age. She had long and curled blonde hair, that she considered her treasure and murder anyone who dared to shave it and had fair skin with lilac eyes that burned rage in her rage. She wore a revealing yellow and black bikini halter top with her emblem on it, black tight-fitting cargo pants with an eyelet-studded yellow belt, black and gold biker boots, and a gold colored leather jacket with studs. She also had a short second belt with a large red "Y" on the silver buckle over her right hip, but left it unfastened and threaded the free end along the back of her pants. A dagger in a yellow sheath hung at her left hip and her gauntlets were clipped to her side for to slip on and off. A notable feature of hers were her tattoos, having on her upper left bicep a mark that spells "YWANG" vertically. The "W" crossed out is a tribute to Weiss who she believed to be deceased.

She had finished packing her things and got on her hunting hat and her aviator sunglasses on before walking out of her room. She was one of the islands that Whitebeard had claimed as his turf as he protected many islands from other Pirates.

"So, you've leaving already?" Whitebeard said coming up.

Peter Port, better known, as Whitebeard was a feared man despite his old age, but a giant of a man and with powers to boot.

"Yeah, Grandpa Port, today my little sis starts her pirate career. And I made a promise to her that I'd go and help her become Queen of the Pirates. Though I wanted to help you become that. Plus, I got to hunt down…that former "uncle" of mine, Taurus, and execute him." Yang said with her tone darkening in the end.

Whitebeard treated his crew like his family calling them his sons and daughters, but Yang had called him Grandfather due to already having a father. Adam D. Taurus was the black sheep being the only "disowned" son of Whitebeard due to beating the fourth commission commander to death over the Yami Yami no Mi that the commander that found. Adam had wanted the fruit and had been hunting for it only for that commander to find it. So, he killed him and took his woman with him as he fled.

"Be careful, hunting Blackbeard, he's crafty as a snake. If he proves too much, that's no shame in fleeing to live another day." Whitebeard lectured.

Yang rolled her eyes and got to her boat, Bumblebee. A waterproof, one-man, yellow raft shaped like a eastern dragon. It has an engine in the back, two paddle-wheels on the sides, and a small sail in the back. Everything is linked to the main seat in the middle of the raft. The boat could collapse into size of a grapefruit for easy carrying. Yang tossed her things in her backseat before getting on.

"Hey, grandpa. Thanks for letting me come aboard your crew. Tell the Dragon Pirates, I love them all. And I want to pass my position to Banshee. She'll keep them in line!" Yang said using her flames to power the boat. "I bid you goodbye!"

Whitebeard watched her go with a tear streaming down his face. He had hoped that this Ruby kid had better be worth her salt.

(A/N: I want to thank merendinoemiliano for giving me this idea. I had a lot of fun writing this. Totally worth pushing Maelstrom of Stardew back a day or two. I do hope someone takes this challenge. It'd be fun to see what they could do. Stay tuned for more snippets!)
