So for anyone who's read this before, I deleted the first chapter cause at the time I didn't really know what I was doing and came up with a dumb reason for why people in the Harry Potter world suddenly reincarnate into the One Piece world and didn't really have any details for this story in mind other than "One Piece but with Harry Potter characters in it". Now I got a clear plot in mind that will integrate into the One Piece narrative. Hopefully it turns out well.

For anyone new to this story please keep this in mind.

Harry and those around his age who have wound up here will not have any memories of their previous lives. Any adults I have in this story will retain their memories however. It'll be explained why later.

The sun had just started rising over a small town full of windmills. Everyone was up and about getting ready for the day. A young woman with green hair and a very kind face was making eggs on the stove when she heard the door opened and greeted the two young boys who entered the kitchen. "Morning, Harry. Morning Luffy. Did the two of you sleep well last night?" she greeted.

"Like a log considering the training Gramps put us through," Harry replied, looking around. "He's not still here, is he Makino?"

Makino shook her head. "He already left this morning," she told them. The twin brothers sighed in relief and rushed to the table to wait for breakfast. Luffy started banging his silverware on the table while Harry just chuckled at his younger brother's antics.

Despite being twins, Harry often likes to play the part of the older brother as he was born ten minutes before Luffy and was surprisingly mature for his age. There was also a physical difference between the two with their eyes. Luffy's was brown while Harry's was green. Harry also had to wear glasses. Like all twins, though, the two were very close.

You would often find them playing together by themselves instead of hanging out with the other kids in the village. The other children would try to invite Harry to play with them but would often turn Luffy away, calling him stupid and freakish, leaving his older twin to turn them down and take Luffy away to do something else. Harry found it weird that Luffy was called the freak, seeing how HE was the one with magic.

It started small at first. One time, a kid was trying to hit Luffy with a stick, only to burst into flames spontaneously. Another time Woodslap, the mayor, was lecturing the two for borrowing a fishing boat without permission, and his beard wound up turning green and didn't change back until the next day. Then came the time their grandad Garp, who was a marine hero, threw the two down a ravine as part of his 'marine training.' He had expected them to climb back out, but the two popped up at the top right behind him mere seconds after he tossed them in.

That got Garp's attention, and he decided to give the two a test. Dragging the boys to the jungle, he made the twins fight a group of monkeys separately. Luffy got his ass kicked with nothing special happening. On the other hand, Harry somehow managed to cast a shield when one of the monkeys tried to jump on him. That's when Garp told Harry, "You can do magic."

Wizards and witches had only started to turn up in the last decade or so, and they were few and far between. It was a major surprise when it was first discovered that people had powers on par with devil fruit users and still swim. However, because devil fruits were arguably even stranger than the magic these people wielded, people recovered from the shock very quickly, and they were eventually accepted.

Harry and Luffy finished their breakfast and ran out the front door to play. After a couple of hours, they went to the docs to catch their breath. Out in the distance, the two spotted a ship coming towards the village. "Is that Grampa's ship? He can't be back already," Luffy cried out, grabbing hold of Harry and started trying to hide.

Harry calmly put a hand on Luffy's shoulder. "No look," he said. "The front is different. It doesn't have the bulldog on it."

The two watched as the ship grew closer and soon was able to spot a jolly roger on the top. It was a pirate ship. Luffy's fear quickly turned to excitement. "Woah, pirates! This is awesome. Come on, Harry, let's get in closer," Luffy said as he took off towards the main port.

"Luffy, wait, slow down!" Harry called out as his brother started leaving him behind.

The two had reached the main dock in time to see most of the village meet up with the pirates. Mayor Woodslap was speaking with a man that had vivid red hair and was wearing a straw hat. Clearly, he was the captain of the crew.

"Alright then, pirate, you've got a deal. We'll let you stay here so long as you don't try anything," Woodslap said.

The captain gave a toothy smile and replied: "Just point us to the nearest bar, and you won't even know we're here."

At this, Makino steps up. "I run the local tavern here," she told him. The captain nodded and have his men follow her with the crowd departing. Makino then spotted the boys as they ran up to her.

"Oh, thank goodness. I was so worried when the ship arrived, and I couldn't find you two," she said as she embraced them.

"Those your kids?" the pirate captain asked.

Makino shook her head. "Oh no, I just look after them while their grandfather is away," she explained.

"Who are you, old man?" Luffy asked the captain.

"Old man!" the captain yelled, looking hurt. Behind him, his crew was laughing.

"Seriously, Luffy," Harry said as he nudged him out of the way and took his place. "I'm sorry about my brother. He tends to speak without thinking," Harry told the pirate as he bowed in apology.

The captain just laughed back. "It's alright. No harm was done. My name is Shanks, by the way."

Harry stood back up, looking relieved that the pirates weren't going to hurt them. "I'm Harry, and this is my younger twin Luffy," he said.

"Are your guys really pirates?" Luffy asked.

"Yeah, kid. Don't tell me you've never seen a pirate before?" another one of the pirates asked. The two shook their heads.

"So you've never heard the songs or the stories?" a third pirate asked.

"Can't say we've had. Our grandad is a marine," Luffy explained.

"Oh, then we have a lot to fill you in on," Shanks told them as they reached the Party Bar.

As Makino served them drinks, Shanks and his crew told the twins wonderful stories of adventure, treasure, and sailing the high sea. Luffy and Harry were so enraptured by the tales. It all sounded so amazing. When the prates started passing out from too many drinks, Luffy turned to harry and said, "I just got an awesome idea. Instead of being marines like Grampa says, we're going to be pirates instead."

Harry laughed in amusement before thinking it over. Honestly, it really did sound nice to him. No strict rules to follow. No hellish training (if everyone does training like Garp). And above all else, no expectations. Just the wide-open sea and the taste of adventure. "Yeah," he finally said. "That sounds like a great idea."
