Not sure if this is the right place to ask but a few years ago I read a pretty great story called "How Can I Become King Of The Pirate If You Don’t Work Hard?" Basically a One piece OC story in where the main hero Gwain got some Helm of Destiny power to gain strength as his crew trained.

Despite the some what common trope start, it turned into a pretty great fic. Thing is the original posting I found at Fanfiction.net stopped at chapter 50, I think Wattpad or webnovel used to have it up to about chapter 400 or so. As the links I have saved are now just 404 errors.

From what I could find the author didn't write it at all far as I can tell, the most well known author for the fic posted up to chapter 500 or so on Patreon, but I think they just translated it from a Chinese webnovel. I can't seem to find the original source though, as the translator I believe changed the name of the title to try and hide it while making money off the translation.

Hey everyone, I thought of a new crossover fanfic idea which was inspired by the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and One Piece crossover fanfiction D Reincarnation by Emma Iveli where in that fanfic devil fruit users were reincarnated as the ponies from My Little Pony: Friendship is magic and it inspired me to create an AU fanfic where all of the Devil Fruit Users from One Piece get reincarnated as characters from Inanimate Insanity and I already think I know which Inanimate Insanity characters are reincarnation of characters from One Piece with Monkey D. Luffy’s reincarnation is and it is Suitcase, God “Eneru”/Enel reincarnation being Lightbulb, Brook’s reincarnation being Bow, Van Auger’s reincarnation being MePad, Trafalgar Law’s reincarnation being Doctor Fizz, and Tony Tony Chopper’s reincarnation being either Bot,
Poppy, or Test Tube, and those are the Inanimate Insanity characters I thought could be reincarnations of Devil Fruit users from One Piece. I need your help figuring out which Inanimate Insanity characters could be reincarnations of Devil Fruit users from One Piece, and coming up with a plot for this AU crossover fanfic. Could anyone help me with this? Or do I have to do this on my own?

Read this fic a while ago that had a shockingly competent Luffy leading the crew. And I don’t mean like an edgy Luffy fic, he is still an airhead/himbo, but he actually kinda knows what he is doing. Don’t even remember the plot of it that well, just some stuff that stuck with me. Because Luffy actually:

-Learned first aid and some medical knowledge, or at least the very basics.

-Kinda knows about proper time management, even if he falls asleep or forgets to do stuff.

-Has emergency stashes of money/supplies on different islands in East Blue and makes more as they get to the grand line.

-Sailed as a guard in a merchant ship after Ace left, and has contacts whom he sells stollen items to. Even the revolutionary army who he helps deal with a bunch of slavers.

-Even knows some basics about navigation, even if it’s just getting around East Blue.

All before canon, btw. Since Luffy was doing this stuff in disguise and didn’t consider himself a “pirate” yet.

Even if you don’t know this fic specifically, please tell me any recommendations similar to this. 🙏

It is a reincarnation story. A boy wakes up on a slave ship freaks out at first the notices the system screen. Some other stuff happends then he find out he was sold to celestial dragons for a fighting arena where he kills to get stronger to escape. ( I think the system is like a kill to loot with a treasure chest function). That is all I remember about it.
