One Piece System in Remnant, I'm going crazy, aren't I?
...
...
...
This is also late, WAY LATE...
Not my best (is the worst) chapter so far.
Get ready for the fluff.
(I can't write fluff, very well)
Also, Tukson is a Puma Faunus, and since I'm stubborn enough to write later, than when it's due, you probably won't be changing my mind.
I have a writer's block, I will be accepting ideas, on what should happen, with the story.
Still accepting inserts.
Some notes below
Yes, Adam is quite OOC (Out of Character), this is attributed to the background he grew up living with, which highly contrasts with his canon one, the same would apply to Blake and Tukson as well, of course.
Tukson whilst he is OOC right now, will eventually grow into his canon personality, whilst Adam and Blake will likely not as much, or not at all.
Adam, Blake and Tukson, all are OOC, as they experienced something in this life, they never experienced in the RWBY Canon Universe, and that can be described in one word... Love... Unless they did receive it in Canon, but just hasn't been released yet...
In that case, I lose about 90% of my argument. But, anyway, Adam doesn't turn out crazy as he never had a sad backstory (I swear if he doesn't have one in canon then I'll-) Anyway I mean imagine if Mercury had a good dad? He'd definitely be a lot nicer...
Anyway, what I'm trying to say that both Alex and Roger are indirectly influencing Adam to be a better person, though Roger is doing it a bit more directly, as he is trying to stop Adam from becoming what he was in series. But, at the same time, Roger doesn't realize, his very presence is causing for Adam to change.
Yang and Ruby, on the other hand, will stay virtually the same. Blake will just be another childhood friend, and as much influence Alex may give, I will explain it like this.
Yang, Ruby and Alex, all have very similar personalities. Alex influencing Yang and Ruby would barely change them since their personalities are so similar. The stories about 'One Piece' will be explained, in due time.

Third Person
"Blaaaake!" Screamed Ruby whilst chasing the cat Faunus, who nimbly ran away.
Yang, on the other hand, was intently listening to the story of One Piece by Alex, who of course, missed out a few parts, there and there.
Meanwhile, a comically dejected Roger was looking at the mess, which he couldn't believe Alex had made within the period of fewer than five minutes alone.
Fortunately, Adam helped in cleaning up the mess, and at the same time, took the chance to ask a few questions about the two children.
"Who are they?"
"Who is who?"
"Those, two children..."
"Little Yellow is Mr Xiao Long's daughter, and Little Red is her younger sister."
"Half sister?"
"Same thing."
As Roger finished, he gave a shrug, knowing that Adam would likely ask that question.
'Going good so far...' Thought Roger to himself, hoping that Adam wouldn't ask that question.
Following, came a silence.
Nobody spoke and they both cleaned, and whilst Roger hoped that Adam wouldn't ask the question.
Adam, on the other hand, was bursting to ask the question, and just as they finished, he asked the big question.
"What type are they?"
"Uh... Yang's a fire type and-"
"Not that type!"
"Oh... Wait, aren't they too young right now-"
"We're young as well and... No! Not that, what type of Faunus?"
'...'
Roger was silent, thinking of an answer to give before a realization struck him.
"How am I meant to know?"
Ignorance as his excuse.
"They could be humans, then?"
'Ok, Heads and they are, Tails and they aren't.'
"Hey, Adam! Heads or Tails?"
Adam instantly replied with, "Tails".
'Alright, let's do this.'
"I think Little Yellow is a... Reptile Faunus? I overheard her father calling her his little dragon..."
Adam seemed to be in thought for a moment, before asking, "Little Red?"
"Dog/Wolf? No, probably not... I'm not sure, but I feel that she has a personality similar to Alex's..."
"I'm pretty sure any six-year-"
Adam was interrupted by the sounds of Blake running away on two feet, from a Ruby that was moving on four feet, surprisingly full of energy despite everything that had happened before.
"I shouldn't have given her the sugar..." Roger thought, accidentally saying it out loud, whilst recounting what had happened at the markets.
Adam ignored that before commenting on the situation, "You know, what you're suggesting is, I suppose... What's the best word for it? You're... Suggesting that, Little Red is like that due to her heritage?"
"Isn't that why I'm so reclusive and cool, and you're just-" Roger didn't continue as he saw Adam reached for the closest available weapon, a frying pan. "Right..." Roger finished with.
As Ruby continued to chase Blake on four feet, who also surprisingly began to catch up to Blake, which dumbfounded both Adam and Roger.
Roger only gave a smile, whilst Adam was...
'Hopefully, she doesn't become another Alex...'
Ten Minutes Later
Ruby had done it.
Blake didn't know how she did it.
Tukson didn't care how she did it.
But, he did care that his room was half trashed.
Ruby had managed to corner Blake into Tukson's room at the White Fang, which originally he wasn't going to stay in, but, eventually chose to stay, as he wished to stay near Roger to hear about One Piece.
Picking up Ruby who was previously standing in triumph over the body of Blake who gave up.
"Aaaahhhh!" Ruby screamed, bringing the attention of Adam and Roger, who came as soon as they heard the scream, especially since Ruby was quite loud.
Immediately upon picking her up, Tukson scanned Ruby, inspecting her.
'Puppy dog eyes?'
It was Tukson's immediate first thought, why?
The eyes looked extremely similar to Alex's, of course, excluding the colour, but it was the way that the eyes presented themselves, they were quite...
He didn't have a word for it... Continuing on he then began to inspect the rest of Ruby.
'Tattered clothes... Dirt... Scratches... Bruises... Related to Alex... No... Doesn't seem like it...'
"Hey let me go!" Yelled a picked up Ruby, who seemed somehow smaller whilst picked up.
Inspecting Ruby, Tukson took a sniff of her, "A strong smell..." He commented, just loud enough for both Roger and Adam to hear.
'Wait, Tukson's not that type of Faunus...Is he?' Roger thought to himself.
Patch
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST THEM!?" Taiyang yelled, his previous state of simply being "off" was replaced in a rage against his brother in law.
"Calm down! You didn't even let me finish," Qrow replied, trying to get Taiyang to calm down.
Though still angry, Taiyang came to reason and listened.
Qrow then continued, "They're with the trio, I can't remember what they were called, but... Uhh... They were the three Faunus, I think?"
Though Qrow didn't quite remember them as his constant stream of missions and going from place to place, somewhat replaced his old memories, or rather were, pushed to the very back, Taiyang remembered.
They were a peculiar bunch of students, yes they were...
White Fang Base
"Where're your parents?" Tukson asked Ruby, comically being hung up.
'Oh crap, no, no, no...' Roger thought to himself, remembering what happened earlier, meant that a certain someone was dead.
Ruby began to cry...
That was about it...
"I need to make a call..." Whispered Adam to no one in particular.
One Hour Later
Ruby had about now stopped crying, and Tukson before didn't even think that someone would be capable of crying even more than Alex did, but he saw it today, and by the look that Roger was giving, he was responsible, and Adam just looked confused.
"What did I-" Tukson tried to say, before being tackled by what he saw as a blur of yellow to his legs, making him fall down, despite his well-trained body.
Out of plain habit of Alex constantly tackling him and the fact that it was yellow, he subconsciously spoke, "Alex?"
However, he saw Alex a few metres away from him, smiling as if it was his birthday, which it wasn't.
Still, on the floor, Tukson tried to get up, before hearing a voice, that was almost as high as Ruby's, "This is for what you did to my sister!"
Extremely weak punches, that was what he felt.
He saw a young girl with slightly long golden hair that seemed a bit dull near the end and lilac eyes. Though she was undoubtedly similar to Alex in some ways, of their hair colour and the act of tackling Tukson, she wasn't Alex.
Tukson merely sighed, and at the same time smiled...
Patch
"Alright, alright, I'll go get them now!" Qrow replied to a yell that Taiyang had shouted.
"AND DON'T COME BACK UNLESS THEY'RE COMING BACK WITH YOU!" Taiyang shouted, even louder than the one before.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry!" Reassuring Taiyang, Qrow turned into a crow, before landing on a tree and realizing, he didn't know where they lived...
Turning back to a human, he got out his scroll and began to make a call...
As the call connected, Qrow immediately asked, "Oz, I need a favour, it's important".
"What is it?"
"Where does that Alex kid live?"
"Why?"
"Ya-" Qrow stopped before continuing as his mind began to make scenarios.
Qrow's Thoughts
"So you lost both your nieces and let them be taken away by a first year at Signal for a wagon?" Ozpin questioned.
In another scenario, where Gyldna intervened.
"Qrow you irresponsible..."
Tai found out the truth and not the half lie, he told him.
"QROW!"
Back to Reality
"You lost both your nieces and let them be taken away by a first year at Signal for a wagon?" Just as Qrow imagined, Ozpin had said it. Then, it continued, "Also, Glynda overheard and said that you were an irresponsible..." Merely shrugging mentally, Qrow waited for Ozpin to finish, well until... "QROW!"
"Uhh, Taiyang, if you would please..."
"QROW, YOU LIED TO ME!"
"Gyldna why did you invite Taiyang to the call?"
"I believed he deserved to know."
"Right, of course."
Qrow could only groan.
As it happened, Ozpin opened up his scroll noticing that he was receiving a call, and had missed, quite a few.
But, first, he messaged for a Bullhead to come.
White Fang Base
"So... Now what?" Roger said breaking the silence.
"Roger! Tell us some One Piece!" Alex immediately answered.
"Yeah!" Yang also answered, excited to hear about it.
Ruby and Blake were both simply silent, the former confused to what One Piece is, and the latter though knowing it, knew little.
"I suppose you could," Adam answered.
Tukson simply nodded.
"Alright, getting off from when Luffy entered the..."
"Wait! Start from the beginning, Ruby, Yang and Blake, haven't listened to it!" Alex yelled.
"Do I-" Roger stopped looking into the eyes of Ruby, "Alright."
"So... In another world, about twenty-two years ago, there was a man named Gol D. Roger, who managed to..."
Patch
"Alright, alright, I'll go get them now!" Qrow shouted replying to his brother in law.
"YOU BETTER!" Taiyang also replying with a shout.
As Qrow began to get ready to depart, Ozpin came up, they were going together.
Just before they began walking to the Bullhead that was quickly called up, looking to the Headmaster of Beacon, Qrow had a question, "What was the point of letting the three take Ruby and Yang?"
Ozpin seemed just about to sip his coffee, before realizing he didn't have any and chose to awkwardly answer Qrow's question, "It was a test."
Albeit confused, Qrow chose not to ask further, Ozpin was one of those people - a person who had meanings behind their words.
And not many, of those people, existed.
One Hour Later
Still, on the Bullhead, Ozpin decided to take the time while travelling as to look back into the three Faunus boys profiles.
They were without a doubt interesting...
It was a maturity well beyond any child they showed, well, Alex was different...
He would need to do well to keep track of them, they were impressive. Valuable future allies.
Not pawns. That sort of thought was more for someone who fashioned herself, a queen, no a Goddess. And the scariest part was that Ozpin, sometimes, thought that she was, her power was simply something, no one could defeat - at least not, yet.
But, that was why he had his eyes on the three Faunus.
Adam throughout the entire year was a genius, excelling in every field and his knowledge on Semblance and Aura was astounding, though a bit crude. Despite this he wasn't the only genius, but, he was perhaps the greatest genius, Ozpin had seen in his life or the current life. Despite this, he wasn't as interesting as Roger, much more Alex, both of whom, managed to string a cord with him...
Roger was quite average. His Semblance strange. The power of gravity, it was certainly a unique power. Never before seen, and its limits were unknown. But, Ozpin had lived many lives, and in them, he had seen many things. And though he had never seen it in person, he saw it on the walls which resonated with him. Drawings of a blind man, who had the power to summon meteorites from far above. Still, the Semblance of Gravity wasn't the strangest one he had ever seen, nor was it the most powerful. He gave a little chuckle recalling a certain Faunus and his strangely funny dark and morbid jokes.
Alex was of the three, for some reason, someone that Ozpin grew to. Not an attraction, but as if Alex was a born leader. His smile despite everything that had ever happened to him. As the Headmaster of Beacon, Ozpin had access to a few files, that few else did. Aleksander Dia, was Alex's birth name, an interesting fact that Ozpin found out, a fact, that for the better, only Ozpin had found out. After all, if Alex's birth family, knew he was still alive, it could spell disaster...
However, more than just the three of them individually, Ozpin was most interested in their shared surname.
Silvers.
It was similar to the drawing which resonated with him, but even more so. Roger Silvers, for some reason when Ozpin said those two words together it felt as if he was saying the names of two separate people. It resonated, even more, when one of his teachers, Professor Port had informed him of the story, which Roger had made up.
One Piece, and a certain Strawhat pirate by the name of Monkey D. Luffy?
It felt so familiar, yet, so unknown...
"Oz, Oz, Oz, you there? Remnant to Oz!" Qrow began to say to Ozpin, who seemed to ignore him, instead seeming to be in deep thought and contemplating the mysteries of life.
Cracking his knuckles, Qrow got ready to free Ozpin from whatever spell he was under, that caused him to be frozen in thought, but first, he would need to make sure Ozpin was actually frozen.
Within less than a second, an "OOF" sound was heard from the Headmaster of Beacon, as Qrow had given Ozpin a simple push, which though in normal cases would have done nothing to the Headmaster, in this case, knocked him down.
"OW! Qrow, what was that for?"
"Awww... I was hoping you wouldn't get out of your trance, from a simple push!"
"My trance? What are-" Ozpin stopped himself from speaking more, as he realized, just how focused he was in thinking about the three Faunus.
Just as Qrow was about to say something, he was suddenly stopped by the Bullhead's intercom, which came out as a feminine voice.
"We have arrived at Patch. Please enjoy your stay".
White Fang Base
"What kind of pirate name is Buggy? And why is he a clown, if he's a pirate?!" Yang questioned just as Roger had finished the part on where Arlong was defeated.
"Why do you keep asking this question!?" Roger replied, though unable to get angry at Yang, due to her appearance, looking similar to that of the web show
"Alex... Stop hogging all the food!" Ruby said to the dog Faunus, who simply ate everything. Though smart enough to give Ruby enough food that while she was distracted from him, he tried to eat all the food.
Alex wagging his tail simply began to hug his food, and shouted, "NO! I'm gonna be a pirate and they have all the meat-" Alex stopped for a second, realizing he had no meat, "Food to themselves!"
Ruby counterattacked with something she knew that Alex would falter against, "BAWHH! I won't join your crew then!"
Beginning to pucker, Alex pretended to not care. But, Ruby saw that her actions already had an effect. "Who would want you anyway! I have Yang, anyway!"
Both Alex and Ruby looked at Yang, who was just arguing with Roger, making a quick pause and said to Alex, "Sorry, Alex, but I have to go with my sister for this one!"
Like a punch to the stomach, Alex instantly was knocked out, and began to talk to himself, "But, we both have blonde hair... Why would she not want to go with me..."
This lasted about five seconds before Alex realized that also present in the room was Roger, Adam, and- Tukson who had just left in fear that Alex would eventually go to him as well.
"ROGER! ADAM!" Alex shouted, to the two.
Just before both of them as if knowing what Alex was going to say, answered at the same time, "NO!"
K.O
Alex was done in and puckering, shared the food with Ruby, as he continued to listen to Roger expanding on One Piece.
As he was listening, his Faunus nose also picked up the smell of alcohol, though chose not to comment on it, knowing it as the drink that was forbidden for him, only recognising the smell due to the rare times, Tukson had a drink.
The Crow, the Immortal Parasite and the Puma
"What do you mean, we're not allowed in?" Qrow had asked the guards of the White Fang Base, despite knowing why he wasn't allowed in.
"Sorry, no humans, we don't have anything against you, it's just that last time... There was this uhh... Child-stalker or something that kept on trying to take pictures of Alex..." One of the guards replied, recalling the strange occurrence, and choosing to leave out a few parts. Namely the part that the child-stalker was a female Faunus. But if he did keep that part, then there was nothing to stop humans from entering the White Fang Base, and take their own pictures of Alex, which apparently sold like hotcakes on the black market. He was pretty sure this was illegal, but he kept his mouth shut, knowing full well, what they would do if he didn't.
"Excuse my friend, my name is Professor Ozpin, I am the Headmaster of Beacon Academy, and this is-" Before Ozpin could continue, Qrow decided to introduce himself, "The name's Qrow Branwen, you might have heard of me, before." Waiting a moment, and noticing that Qrow had finished, Ozpin continued, "As I was saying, Qrow and I, are both looking for Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long, Qrow's nieces."
"Uhh... I haven't exactly seen them, but..." The guard stopped speaking, as he saw Tukson, waving to him, he yelled, "Hey Tukson! Can you come here, didn't you say that there were a few little kids that were visiting?"
Tukson, hearing the guard, began to walk towards him, noticing the two humans, one which looked quite sophisticated, and the other, reeked of alcohol, so much that he was sure that even if he wasn't a Faunus, he would still be able to smell it.
Looking at the guard, and somewhat ignoring the two humans, he answered, "Yeah, Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long, little red and little yellow-" Before Tukson could continue, he was interrupted by Qrow who asked for clarification, "Little red and little yellow?"
A smirk appeared on Tukson's face, as he replied, "Nicknames, I suppose." Qrow said nothing, with Ozpin speaking in his steed, "Please continue."
Tukson, taking in the silence, began where he left off, "Little red and little yellow. Roger, found them, in a forest, if I recall... A bit strange, especially as he said that there was a crow that kept on following him." Qrow gulped at the last part, though it was evident that nobody noticed.
"Anyway, he brought them here after shopping for some groceries, and he's currently telling them about One Piece." Ozpin immediately asked as Tukson finished, "Pardon, but what is One Piece?"
Tukson answered, "Some story that Roger made up." There was a pause, as Ozpin asked, "Is it possible for us to hear it?"
There was a moment of silence after Tukson replied without hesitation.
"No."
Roger Continues the Story
"Why do you always rush Alabaster?" Adam asked.
"I do?" Roger replied, not realizing he would always do so.
Adam sighed, before continuing, "Also, whilst it may sound good in person, in print, can you really have Nico Robin, a renowned criminal, who has sunk several Marine ships, and have a speciality in assassination, just join the Strawhats, I know that she kind of redeemed herself, but-"
Roger resting his chin on his hands looked at Adam, and replied, "Adam, you're thinking too much into it, again! The moral of the story is..." Waiting for someone to answer, Roger looked towards Ruby, who answered, "Friendship is magical!" Just before, Yang stood up, and yelled, "Family is everything! And I'd go against the whole world for Ruby!"
Ruby's eyes sparkled in amazement of her elder sister, who in her vision, now appeared twice as tall, and ten times as strong.
Roger shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Adam, who simply had the face.
Where the Crow and the Immortal Parasite have a misunderstanding with the Puma
"What do you mean we can't hear it?" Qrow asked, now wanting to know the story, though mainly only to annoy the puma Faunus in front of him.
Tukson eyeing Qrow replied with, "Because, I don't know who you are, for all I know you could be someone that wants to steal the story."
"Bullshit! Why would I want your stupid story? I just want to see my nieces!"
"If you want to just see them, then why are you asking why you can't hear the story?" Tukson asked.
Without any bit of hesitation, Qrow replied, "Just tell me where they are! They're my nieces!
Tukson looked at the guard who nodded, and asked, "Fine, but, what are their names?"
"Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long!" Qrow said with pride, it was quite obvious that he had put the both of them close to his heart.
But, the two girls were Faunus, and Tukson was a tad bit suspicious as it didn't seem that neither of the two in front of him was a Faunus. Though it was possible that the smell of alcohol of Qrow was simply too strong. But, just in case, he had a question to ask.
"Alright, what type of Faunus are they?" Tukson asked, waiting for Qrow's answer, which came differently to what he expected.
"Faunus, they're both humans!"
There was a look of disgust on Tukson, following that statement, he also began to size up Qrow, in case of needing to fight, just then realizing despite being a Faunus, he was terribly outmatched.
Though he reeked of alcohol, Tukson could see alone from the huntsman's body that he was well built and without a doubt powerful, definitely more so than himself.
Knowing that a physical battle would be suicide, Tukson replied in guard, "Well, then you need to know your nieces better! The little red one is a dog Faunus and the little yellow one is a lizard- Dragon Faunus? Roger did say that she's for some reason called a little dragon?"
"If she's called a little dragon, then she's definitely a human!"
"HOW DOES THAT WORK? IF SHE'S HUMAN?" Tukson shouted, while at the same time in thought, 'I've been influenced too much by Roger's stories...'
"Only my stupid brother-in-law would call his daughter 'little dragon'!"
"You know what. I'm going to have to ask you to leave!"
"I'm not leaving without my nieces!"
"What kind of uncle forgets what type of Faunus his own nieces are?"
"They're not Faunus!"
"Yes, they are!"
"No, they aren't!"
Just as they were about to fight, Ozpin came in the middle, pushing the two of them aside from each other, with strength, none of them expected from the Headmaster.
"He started it!" Qrow mock cried out.
ALEX
Of all the Faunus within the White Fang Base, there was little to no doubt that Alex had arguably the best sense of hearing.
Though he didn't have the ears of a dog, his part Faunus genes, Aura and Observation Haki had merged almost perfectly, granting Alex the ability to hear and smells on levels the same or just weaker than that of even dogs and sense others on levels beyond any dog. His tail would even wag a certain way when he sensed danger.
He was getting quite annoyed as he kept on hearing voices shout, as, at the same time, while his ability to hear was on the same level or just weaker than a dog's, his ability to control his hearing was weak. His control of Observation Haki, made him hear almost everything, though he found he was able to adapt as he subconsciously began to improve on it.
But, the shouting was really annoying, and thus he decided to go to the source of the noise, by following the smell of the alcohol...
...
...

PLOT THICKENS
The World of One Piece and RWBY begins to blend. (I would drink that smoothie - just kidding.)
Ruby has in several times been likened to a wolf Faunus, so I made Roger tell Adam, that she might be one, as to not exactly lie.
Also, Adam doesn't know that Ruby is a human, this is important as, though Adam is now living a better life, he still dislikes them, and don't forget, humans are generally douchebags to Faunus.
Another thing, Adam didn't begin the White Fang's radical endeavours, it was there before him, and you'll see in time how a more moderate Adam reacts to the White Fang, and the choices he will have to make.
Going back to Ruby being a human and Adam not knowing, this is an extremely important plot point.
Adam is yes, as I mentioned before, now living a better life, and the cause of this is, Roger and Alex, who are both Faunus, and not humans, meaning that Adam still believes in the general stereotype of humans being racist pricks, which to be honest, is true to most extent.
Having Ruby and Yang in his life will enable him to gain a relationship with humans without even knowing it, and of course, there's eventually going to be a reveal, when Adam finds out that he's been friends with humans this entire time, and hasn't noticed.
You may say that's a spoiler, but I literally just thought of that right now, but anyway, it may happen, it may not.
Also, yes, Ozpin, in my opinion, is an immortal parasite. But a good immortal parasite.
For the better or the worse, this is slowly turning into a story where Adam is a tsundere, Alex is an adorable Faunus who is the end goal of every Fujoshi and Roger is somewhere in the middle.
My excuse of making Tukson extremely out of character is that I am giving him the plot development he deserved, but never got. Wait, what am I saying...I am giving him the plot development, that he never got, but he probably doesn't deserve being portrayed this way :D
Edit 12/11/18 changed/shortened Alex's birth surname. Only temporary, as I need to sort some things about his character.
