-->'''Infantry 7''': Aw man someone mixed colors in the wash, my shirt’s mauve now.

** Calliope's Knocking is a clear reference to {{Manga/Toriko}}.

* OneTruePairing: There's a reason there's so much ShipTease between Case, Calliope, and the Payne twins. Once the relationships reach a fever pitch, readers will get to choose [[TheyDo which of the three]] [[OfficialCouple Case will choose]]. {{Polyamory}} will be an option.

* IChooseToStay: Like most One Piece OC-protagonists, Case’s plan was to join the Straw Hats. But the choice was pretty much taken from them when the time came; it was either seize the only opportunity that they would have, or stay with the Barto Club to help to find their best friend who had just been kidnapped. The author didn’t leave the latter as an option for the audience to pick.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Cuttup. Pretty face, long hair, and the fact that he wears skirts and dresses since he grew up surrounded by people who wore bottom garments and couldn't wear pants.

** Case makes Mr. 5 a blood-channeling sword like from {{anime/BloodPlus}}.

* BadDreams: Calliope has been having them due to what she endurced prior to her rescue.

* {{BFG}}: In part 4 of Chapter 4, Case offers to upgrade Gin's storebought shotgun and turns it into, quote, "the most advanced shotgun in the One Piece world, barring anything Vegapunk might have in the works." He names it Black Water...but only so Gin won't object too much to the first name, the BFG...for Beary Fun Gun.

* CryIntoChest: Calliope did this to Case when they sent her straight on her attempts to seduce them.

* ShipTease: Between Case the Paynes. Calliope too, later on.

* Sideboob: Calliope enjoys wearing halter tops due to her wings.

* StockAnimalDiet: Naturally, Case is nuts for honey, salmond, and berries. They tried putting an apiary in the ship, but the rest of the crew vetoed it, to Case’s chagrin.

Upon their untimely demise, genderfluid Avery Case receives a new chance on life in a new world from a Benevolent Random Omnipotent Being. Avery Case begins their new life in a Loguetown orphanage as a brown bear mink empowered by the Craft-Craft Fruit, allowing them to mold their body parts into almost any tools they can imagine. With eleven years before canon begins, how will the adventure go?

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: An inherent ability of all minks is to turn into powerful berserkers whenever they set eyes on the full moon, rampaging with immense strength and rapidly bringing their bodies toward burnout. It is possible to control the technique with training, but given that Case doesn't know anyone who can give said training, he considers the technique a last resort.

* DeusExMachina: Case's BROB grants them boons every time that they perform a particularly benevolent action. One example is in Chapter 7 when they fight tooth and claw to save Milly, and only succeed thanks to BROB granting them Conqueror's Haki.

** Chapter 5, Part 2: Case gives this when Apis informs him that the sun just set. And it’s noon.

* IChooseToStay: Like most SIs, Case’s plan was to join the Straw Hats. But the choice was pretty much taken from them when the time came; it was either seize the only opportunity that they would have, or stay with the Barto Club to help to find his best friend who had just been kidnapped. The author didn’t leave the latter as an option for the audience to pick.

* OhCrap: Given that BROB normally stands for ''Bastard'' Random Omnipotent Being, Case is this when they initially meet their benefactor.

* RunningGag: Mayor Swift of Tuuayem calling Case ‘Shit’ because he accidentally cut himself off during his introduction: “Shit, I’m a D.”

* ShipTease: Between Case and the Paynes.
* ShockAndAwe: An inherent ability of all minks is powerful bioelectricity. Case uses it in conjunction with the power tools that he can produce with their powers.

** When Case uses Baldimore’s tech to give himself a few modifications, one notable one is a variation of Franky’s [[FrickinLaserBeams Radical Beam]]. Case christens his version the [[Manga/DragonBall Kumahameha]].

* StockAnimalDiet: Naturally, Case is nuts for honey. They tried putting an apiary in the ship, but the rest of the crew vetoed it, to Case’s chagrin.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Aileen at the end of Chapter 7 for her Absolute Justice ways that almost led to her murdering Milly; the only reason he doesn’t kill her in return is that she’ll be executed for her crimes anyway.
* TheReveal: In part three of Chapter 4, Case reveals his origins to the top brass of the crew...and Apis.
