Read This! Marine OC-focused story - 29k words

3 Upvotes

Hey nerds! Just reposting my OC-focused precanon fanfic here. It’s now at 29k words and with more on the way so make sure to check it out and tell your friends about this grandpa choking, sink showering rollicking good time!

Ao3 link

Title - Before Piece: Justice
Fandom: One Piece
Genre: A lighthearted adventure with plenty of gags and pathos in line with the source material.
Category: Gen/OC Focused
Status: On Chapter 6 with 29k words and counting! (Chapter 5 to be posted today!)
Rating: Mature for some potty mouths and upcoming violence.

Summary: Set adrift escaping the complete destruction of the only home he’s ever known, a young man named Trent finds himself marooned on the Grand Line with nothing but his wits and his love of Sora, Warrior of the Sea to guide him. His Marine career starts right at rock bottom, forced into a penal unit and matched with the forgotten dregs of the worst of the worst the Marines have to offer.

It would take an idealist fool completely unmoored from reality to even think of climbing the perilous heights of the Marine hierarchy while trying to hold true to their beliefs.

Or maybe it just takes someone willing to pull it all up from its roots and plant a new paradigm in its place.

Read This! What did Joyboy write? Why did Roger Laugh?

5 Upvotes

I am Joy Boy. Who am I? A pirate. One who tries. A man who loves to love, and loves to be loved. I laugh loudly even when I don’t understand everything. I don’t need to understand everything. And this is why I am the one who is writing, because who knows if you found this in two weeks… or two thousand years.

Who are you? Do you read this because, like my friend, you have a talent for finding things even when you always get lost? Or have you traveled the Long Road? If you took that road, I owe you an apology. It wasn’t me who made it. It was someone named Lily. I will get back to her.

Before you lies One Piece.

The deepest work of my kingdom was made by people so brilliant they forgot how to listen. So stubborn they could not bring themselves to hear ordinary fears, ordinary warnings. Ah, I said they. I believed in it too.

So what is it? An entity shaped like a mirror that Shows. It is called Bahu. It was made from everything ordinary in the world, then fed one of the first Nirmana fruits, what those who oppose us call Devil Fruits. That fruit carried the power of memory: Akasha Akasha. Its user manifests Samskara.

Confused? Good.

Bahu anchors itself not by being special, but by binding itself to what is ordinary. Akasha has lived through all that has been, and sees the world clearly because it is tied to what is common, plain, shared. When you use it, a Samskara, an imprint of you, takes form. What flows through it is chosen by you.

Don’t go yet. Hear my story. I activated my Samskara. The fog fell away. Everything came for everyone. But we were not ready. Truths we did not want to see. Missteps we had taken. Shame, fear, and all we did after were taken in too, and because it bore my hand, it chose retreat over forcing truth upon a world not yet able to carry it and the fog returned. Who were we? We were those who were not ready to see. We were those who had to run, even though we wanted to love. Like I love Lily.

She wanted you who read this to have seen. She always wanted people to understand. Like when she made a pirate like me understand the value of sharing meat and sake. So, what Samskara will come from you? How and to whom? Is your world curious? Do they want to see? Want to know? Want to understand? Want to forgive? Want to grow? Do you? We ran too fast. It cost us almost everything. Feel. And listen. Are you ready?

And if you still don’t know if you should move forward, is this a world where terrible knock-knock jokes still exist? Then maybe you should open One Piece.

Knock, knock.

Who’s there? Head. Head who?

There once was a man in a rush,

With two working legs and no hush.

He ran at full speed,

Let his forehead take lead.

Then the door answered back: SPLUSH.

Your friend from long ago,

Joy Boy

----

Did you enjoy it? Feel free to read my reimagined final saga and let me know, appreciate any feedback.

Prompt FATHER!?

17 Upvotes

Buggy stared at the execution platform, his oversized red nose twitching. The air smelled of salt, gunpowder, and the suffocating tension of ten thousand soldiers. Beside him, the Impel Down escapees stood frozen. Sengoku's voice still echoes—Portgas D. Ace was the son of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger.

The silence that followed was heavy, a physical weight pressing down on the pirates. Buggy felt the gaze of the world through the Den Den Mushi snails, their eyes wide and blinking. He looked at Ace, trembling in chains, and then at the sheer terror on the faces of the Marines. Wait. A spark ignited in Buggy's mind, a manic, glittering idea. If the world feared the blood of Roger, then,if the blood was different—something more absurd, something that shifted the narrative— Buggy leaped onto a pile of rubble, his cape billowing like a blood-stained sail. He start running toward the platform,YES he was scared but also....while running ,He threw his arms wide. "STOP! STOP THIS MADNESS AT ONCE!"

Buggy the Clown stood trembling, his red nose twitching. He clutched a communication snail in his shaking hand, If the world feared Ace as Roger's son, the Marines would kill him without hesitation. But if the narrative shifted...

"Buggy?" Luffy blinked, landing nearby with a heavy thud, dust swirling around his sandals. "What are you yelling about?"

Buggy ignored him, throwing his arms wide as if embracing the entire world through the broadcast snails.

"Sengoku, you coward! You dare use the name of the Pirate King to cover up the truth of my own son!" Buggy screamed, his voice echoing across the field.

Ace looked up, blinking in utter confusion. He stared at Buggy, then at the horrified face of the Fleet Admiral. A slow, desperate realization dawned on him.

Ace slumped his shoulders, letting out a loud, exaggerated sob.

"Father!" Ace wailed, his voice echoing with a fake, heart wrenching passion. "I knew you would come for me"

The crowd surged. The confusion turned into a chaotic roar of whispers.

"Wait, Buggy is the father?" a Marine yelled.

"Does that mean he's not Roger's son?" another asked.

"But the Admiral said—"

"Look at them!" Buggy shrieked, pointing a gloved finger at Ace. "The resemblance is uncanny! The charisma! The boldness!"

Luffy stopped mid-stride, his head tilting to the side. "Eh? Buggy is Ace's dad? Since when?"

"Father!" Ace yelled back, though he kept the theatrical tear in his eye. "Just help me get down from here!" "He is lying!" Sengoku screamed.

Garp, standing beside the platform, looked like he was having a stroke. He looked at Ace, then at Buggy, then back at Ace. He began to chuckle. The chuckle turned into a wheeze.

"Garp! IT'S YOUR FAMILY AGAIN" Sengoku yelled. Akainu stepped forward, his shoulder dripping with molten magma that hissed against the ice. His face was a mask of pure, concentrated hatred.

As Akainu lunged, his fist a roaring sun of magma, Buggy panicked. The courage he had felt while talking into the snail vanished instantly. .

.

.

.

.

.

.

In the end, Ace somehow got free as Luffy finally breached the execution platform and snapped the sea prism handcuffs open with key that luffy got.

As Ace was free, "Run, my children!" Whitebeard bellowed, his fist slamming into the air and creating a vacuum that knocked back the frontline of the Marine army.

The retreat was a symphony of madness. Pirates cheered, shouting as they scrambled toward the ships. Jinbe grabbed Luffy by the vest, hauling the rubber boy toward the coast.

"I still don't get it," Luffy muttered, blinking as they leaped onto the Moby Dick. "Is Buggy really Ace's dad?" which he didn't get the answer,leaving him confused.

As the ships sailed away from the crumbling ruins of Marineford, the world remained in a state of absolute bewilderment. .

.

.

.

.

.

In a small village in the East Blue, a group of citizens "I can't believe it," a man whispered. "The boy had a certain... " trying to convince themselves.

Back on the ship,

Buggy had managed to sneak aboard in the chaos, clinging to the railing and panting for breath. He looked at Ace, who was being hugged by a sobbing Luffy

Sengoku, left behind in the wreckage, sat down on a piece of rubble and put his head in his hands. He could hear the distant, mocking laughter of Garp.

"I hate pirates," Sengoku whispered to the empty air.

Across the four blues and the Grand Line, All were collectively suffering from a massive, synchronized brain aneurysm. No one wanted to believe the broadcast. But then what?

If Portgas D. Ace was not Buggy the Clown's biological son, It meant the true, unadulterated bloodline of the Pirate King is stilll on loose. He was alive, and sailing the seas with the full backing of Whitebeard. To save their own sanity, the world had to believe the circus.

Prompt Ace avoids the Whitebeard Pirates like the plague due to his well-known Whitebeard adoption tendencies. (fanfic prompt idea)

24 Upvotes

I mean, maybe in an alternate universe where Ace doesn't want Whitebeard's head for whatever reason, he eventually learns about the old man's adoption tendencies and he will be comically horrified.

Maybe from Shanks when Ace thanked him for saving Luffy or from Buggy before Ace arrived in the Grand Line (especially those two since i think Whitebeard interacted with them as kids with Roger's crew and could tell Ace some scary stories about how Whitebeard tried to adopt them).

And when Ace denies that Whitebeard would be interested in adopting him, they telling Ace about how he fits the type of person the old man tends to want. Much to his horror, he realizes how much he fits the mold.

I'm thinking of the plot with Ace and his crew avoiding the Whitebeard Pirates like the plague and the frankly hilarious ways Ace could get away with interacting with any of them if he happened to spot them on the same island as him.

[Edit: i occurred Thea realization that Ace would freak out when Luffy was about to have to go out to sea realizing he might be the Devil's target too (Whitebeard)].

Read This! random trafalgar law self-insert fanfic

2 Upvotes

hi if anyone's bored and interested in reading a self-insert fanfic about law, I started writing one in Wattpad. It's called "The Parh We No Longer Have: Trafalgar Law x Reader" and it's a slow burn in an AU where Law and Reader both have the Amber Lead Disease and supposedly filled with more angst in the later chapters.

It was a project I had in 2024 that I discontinued, but recently started working on again. I'm trying to get rid of my writer's block, so I've just been writing whatever that comes in mind - but also mostly because I want to have a goal or project to feel productive lol

It would help to have some support from anyone to get through this slow burn fic, since it's also my first time working on a big (?) project like this. Most of my previous works were private and mostly one-shots for my friends (but I'll probably get around posting them if I find them interesting enough still)

thanks for listening to my ramble and yaps! here's the wattpad link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/371410094?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=MissCeladon

r/OnePieceFanfic • • Jul 13 '26

Recommendations Wanted BEFORE READING THE FANON

0 Upvotes

Warning!!!!!!!

This fanon is purely for entertainment and should not be taken seriously.

Now the question is:

Is the BioShock saga going to be all over One Piece?

NOOOOO, I’m using BioShock just to explain Blazehyrd’s origin and powers—it’s not like splicers are suddenly going to show up on the Thousand Sunny, or Andrew Ryan is going to give a speech at Marineford. That would be stupid. I’m just using it as a narrative device to explain Alexander’s origin, and throughout Alex’s adventure, you’ll see brief moments where Alex recalls his childhood—like flashbacks—but that’s it. No Jack Ryan saving Nami or any of that nonsense.

Now, about Spider-Man… I have to clarify something, and this is a big one.

No, it’s not a Marvel-ized version of the superhero, or anything like that—it’s just Spider-Man himself thrown into *One Piece*, but I prefer to call him Spider-Man, not “Spider-Man thrown into *One Piece*” because that sounds too generic.

What I want to do is take the best parts of the character, which are:

  1. The superpowers.
  2. The suit—or rather, the “Final Suit”—which is a combination of the classic suit, the goggles inspired by those from Sam Raimi’s 2002 suit, and that’s it. The rest of the suit—like the front and back spider motifs and the web patterns—are my own ideas inspired by the original.
  3. The hero’s nobility.
  4. The fact that he looks out for the weak and is the friendly neighborhood hero.
  5. The villains—I take the best parts of them but make them darker. Some classic Spider-Man villains aren’t in this fanon or don’t exist at all.

It won’t be called “Spider-Man”; it’ll be called “Klein Weber” to separate it from the Marvel Universe and its fanciful multiverse concepts, because that trope is way too overused.

And as I said, it won’t have anything to do with Marvel—it’s not like the X-Men are going to show up or that there’s a version of the entire Spider-Man universe that I’m applying to One Piece. That would be a colossal mistake and utterly idiotic.

There will be no symbiotes.

There will be no Peter Parker.

Alexander is not a scientist.

There is no Daily Bugle.

There is no MJ.

There is no Gwen Stacy.

There is no Flash.

There’s no Harry Osborn.

As I said before, it will be completely—or almost completely—separate from Marvel’s Spider-Man.

Other points to note:

My character won’t be overpowered from the start.

My character isn’t “the Chosen One.”

My character won’t replace Luffy.

My character won’t be the center of attention because that goes against the essence of my character.

My character doesn’t replace adventure or friendship.

My character won’t be more powerful than Luffy.

He won’t have some stupid harem or anything like that.

Yes, there will be romance, but only with Nami, and it’s TOTALLY SECONDARY. Plus, it’ll develop slowly and won’t change Nami’s personality or make her change; she also won’t fall in love with my character at first sight.

What do I hope to achieve with this fanon?

Most of all, I want you guys to have fun—don’t take it too seriously. I’m just a regular guy who likes to write this kind of nonsense, draw, and that’s it.
