A.N. Howdy.

...

Having kicked the ass of their asshole boss , the marines started making lots of water works. There wasn't a dry eyeball among any of them.

I, in a fit of frugalness, decided to take (former) Captain Morgan's wallet and go looting in his rooms.

Sometimes I can be a bit of an asshole; only to other assholes though.

Quest update:

Collect treasure and met up with Luffy.

Well that was easy. Geralt commented.

'So how exactly does this work?' I asked. 'Do you feel anything?'

I feel every thing but I don't have control. It's like the time I got possessed by a ghost.

'Oh? So what do you remember before you woke up ...here?' I gestured with my hands.

Inside you? I was on the Path. I just left Corvo Blanco, Yennifer was still in bed. Geralt mused. What were you doing.

'Nothing.' I told him. 'I went to bed at my parents home and woke up in Luffy's treehouse.'

You have parents? Geralt asked surprised.

'Doesn't everyone.' I said without thinking. I winced. 'Sorry, didn't mean to sound sarcastic.'

It's nothing. I'm just surprised; most Witcher's don't have parents.

Oh. This needed some context.

I tried hard to explain but I ended up feeling silly and frustated. It was hard to explain to a guy that I don't know personally that I knew a lot about him; and not the ballers and songs of Dandelion started going around picking up bits of gold and jewels that looked nice. I didn't take anything that big figuring that the town would need some funding for reconstruction.

'That's the truth.' I told him coming out of the house. Luffy, Zoro, Coby, and the daughter of the dinner had all left.

Someone, or something, brought you here and gave you my abilities. Geralt summed up. You got bound by the Law of Suprise to the strechy idiot as a Pirate.

'Yup.'

Which is okay because to him the word Pirate is less about rape and murder and more about living beyond the scope of oppression.

'Exactly.'

And this world was once one of the most famous stories of your old world; a story whose creater never made an ending to.

'Oda is God-a' I simplified. This was not the first time I've had to defend/explain the glory that was One Piece.

And finally Gaunter O'Dimm wants you to act as a medium for a deal.

"Not just that." I said outloud. I felt confusing and kind of depressing to have so many thoughts bottled inside one brain and the road was empty.

What else does he want? Geralt asked.

"If I had to guess. another chance of collecting on the deal you beat him out of." I reminded. "Two souls for the price of one."

But I didn't challenge him. Geralt denied. I let him have Oolgierds soul.

I stopped for a second confused.

Pause

Inventory

Iris (equip)

"Yes you did." I told him drawing the blade and holding it before the light. "You got this sword as a gift from von Everic and the Legendary Viper silver sword."

Where did yo- I got a bottomless bottle of Vodka from him. Geralt stated shocked at the sight.

That didn't make sense. I didn't pick that choice on my last gameplay but on the one I finished a year ago; I stuck it inside my Stash.

My Stash.

Pause

Map

The world slowed and the image of a map appeared in my mind.

Checking around I could see green sight posts andright next to the main quest maker/ location of Luffy was a green box.

Exiting from the map I started walking towards the front gate were the nearest sight post was.

What are you doing? Geralt asked.

'I'm trying to see if this will work.' I thought back. I reached toward the sighn and put my had on it like it might burn me.

The World map came before me like a touchscreen without the world slowing. Aperantly is been registering places without even knowing; Dawn island and the ASL house specifically.

What's that? Geralt asked

'Its like a portal to the places you've been before.' I told him.

You gonna try it out portaling for the first time? Good luck.

I wasn't sure what he meant but I went ahead and pressed on one of the green icons.

And I went on the worst roller coaster of my life. Colors mixed with shapes and gravity pulled from every direction and coated in vomit flavors.

Or that might have been me throwing up on the ground outside of dinner.

If it makes you feel any better I threw up my first time too. Geralt commented.

I stood up on wobbly feet and started kicking dirt over the 'mess' I made. "Fuck you." I told him.

...

Walking into the now empty dinner I got spotted by the Glutton that was my Captain.

Empty plates, cups, and bowls surrounded him. Luffy was eating so fast I was worried that he would bite into his own hand thinking it was a ham sandwich.

Zoro, a newly freed man, was attacking his own plate with a similar ferocity. Explaining his personal situation to Zoro, Coby was the only one who seemed to be eating slow enough to actually taste his food and the only one who seemed to be brusied after the fight with the Marines.

Luffy finally hit a lull in the meal but still chewed as he talked. "Bwan!! *Gulp* This food is really good! Come join us!"

I couldn't fight my smile. "Sounds good."

It turned out that the Stash box was pushed against the wall in the back room of the kitchen.

"It just appeared out of nowhere! It won't open or move so I just haven't thought about it." The woman explained.

"It's mine." I told her. "It pops up at places." God this is akward. "I'm sorry I wasn't introduced to you before; I'm Bran."

"Ririka," the now named woman gave me a smile that put me at ease.

Like the signpost it looked like an ordinary object until I put my hand on it. The chest cracked open, just a hair, and the inventory screen popped in front of me.

Ririka, probably checking I didn't steal anything (a valid worry given my last few days) screened in my ear.

I raised a hand to calm her down, Axii prepared, when Luffy hoped inside the room with a bord look on his face. "Bran, were you doing something?" *Blink* "What's with the thing."

I decided to limit the conversation to a Luffy-level understanding. "It's a stroage box that only I can use from another world. I can put near anything inside it and pull it out later."

Luffy nodded. "It's a mystery box that likes you so much it follows you around."

"... sure?" 'That was kinda right'.

"Cool; do you see any pork chops." Luffy asked heading for the kitchen.

...

It turns out when the game system said "all equipment from your last fave file", it didn't mean the last Witcher 3 save file but the last GAME.

If I had played God Of War, I would own this fucking world. Or hell, Skyrim.

Going back to the dining area, I just caught the end of a fight between Coby and Luffy with a bunch of Marines around them.

I sat down next to Zoro and took a piece of fried chicken from the patter.

You gonna do anything about that? Geralt asked.

'It's a bar fight between friends. Give 'um twenty minutes and someone will cry their eyes out saying shit like "I love you motherfucker!".'

I looked at Zoro. "So what's with that?" I nodded to the pair scrambling on the ground. Luffy was beating the shit out of Coby.

Zoro gave an eyebrow and pointed at the Marines. "They want is gone and wanted to know if Coby was our friend."

I nodded at him and looked to the marine in front. "Oi! Coby was enslaved by Aviveda, or Avesta; the ugly, morbidly obese, Pirate woman. We set Coby free in exchange for showing us to the island."

The man looked at us in surprise. "So he's not a friend of yours?" He pressed. He looked desperate.

I think he wants you to lie for Cobys sake. Geralt observed.

A choice appeared before me.

1. Of course he is.

2. I never met him in my life.

3. Let him join.

"If you need us to say it then I will; I've never seen that guy in my entire life."I lied.

The man nodded and walked up to the downed Coby.

...

We were led of the island and sent off to the salutes of fifty marines (plus one newly made Cabin boy) and all of the towns folk.

Maybe it was a trick of the light, but among the crowd I swore I could see that young marine standing next to Vale on the island.

A remnant of a spirit about to move on;Don't let it bother you. Geralt advised.

I tried not too.

"Bran! The story, tell us a story!" Luffy commanded from the back. Zoro leaned back on the rudder and looked to be ready to take a nap after adjusting or course.

I took a breath and looked back to the sky. "All right but let's leave Naruto for a second." I took a second to think and the image came to my mind. "Today we speak of the adventures of the Pirates of the Carribian."

I almost smiled at how easily Luffy was captivated by the word 'pirates'. "A long time ago, in the sea of my homeland a ship was sailing on a foggy night and a aboard could be the singing to a young girl named Elizabeth Swan..."
