** After Zoro's duel with Mihawk, Cory actually decides of his own volition to ''upgrade'' this flaw to the point where he would have to obey, even if Luffy ordered him to commit suicide. He has enough trust in Luke that he believes his friend won't abuse that level of power over his character.

Such is the premise of ''One Piece: Grand Line 3.5'' a webcomic focused on a bunch of college-age gamers playing through the events of ''Manga/OnePiece''. Most of the humor comes from playing the story almost completely straight, and then justifying the characters and setting with various d20 mechanics.

Cleaning up the description.

Yet another [[CampaignComic RPG Screencap Webcomic]] [[FollowTheLeader following in the footsteps]] of ''DMOfTheRings'', ''DarthsAndDroids'', and ''Webcomic/BendersAndBrawlers''. This time, it's about a bunch of college-aged gamers playing out the events of ''OnePiece'' (more or less) in their ''DungeonsAndDragons''-esque OceanPunk RolePlayingGame.

Truly is better than it sounds with many characters skipping back stories, being incredibly overpowered, and many times breaking the fourth wall. It's worth checking out.
