Ah, so you went and did it after all.

Anyone read The Boy With Haki? It was pretty good. Kinda lengthy at times, though.

You know, you could at least dig up a link to the fics that you bring up so that those who aren't familiar with them can at least look them up or their summaries. tongue

Luffy has Haki from chapter one, and tries to teach his crew how to use it. I'll look for a link later on.

EDIT: The Boy with Haki, one of exactly two One Piece fics I've ever actually read.

Interesting. I think I'll be putting that on my watchlist.

Hey, here's a thought: One Piece IN SPACE!. Has it ever been done?

Who knows? Given the size of the fandom, it's certainly possible, but I don't peruse the One Piece fanfic sections so I can't say for sure.

Thought just occurred to me: there any fics out there that play Luffy as a straight-up Villain Protagonist like most pirates?

<goes off to check> I found these: Overlord of the Seas, Crossed.

On a different note: Brook introduces his bored comrades to Halloween. Hilarity Ensues when they decide to go trick-or-treating on the first ship that they find... and it's Buggy's. (Post-Whitebeard War, though it was written in the middle of the Impel Down arc, so expect divergences from canon. A different Time Skip of some sort is also in effect, apparently.)

One Piece/Naruto crossovers exist?

On a separate note, has anyone read Memoirs of an OC, Outsider Character? The fact that the author goes into considerable length about how "Original Character" does not automatically equate to a Mary Sue is making me interested in reading it.

A bit of humor i penned 2 years, 8 months ago

Luffy had been captured. It had been simple, absurdly simple, after so many had tried besting Luffy in combat and failed, someone took the time to study him and snared him with relative ease.

~0~

"Oooooo!" Luffy moaned, looking at the sign above the shop. "Exotic Meat!"

"Ugh," Usopp replied, holding his nose. "Maybe they meant expired meat? That stuff smells poisonous."

Luffy frowned at his nakama. "Then you don't want any?"

"No," Sanji replied in Usopp's stead, quite forcibly. "That stuff is not coming back on the ship."

Luffy's frown changed smoothly into a broad smile, "Yosh! More for me then!" Luffy thrust open the door to the shop and charged in. The stench from the open door caused Usopp to collapse to the ground, and Sanji retched, though nothing came up. They fled the scene as soon as they were able to.

~0~

The meat had indeed been poisonous. Luffy was handily captured when he was laid low by a bout of food poisoning, though the Straw Hats didn't figure it out until that evening when their Captain failed to return for dinner. They immediately backtracked to the shop, only to find that the Exotic Meat shop was now abandoned, as if no-one had been occupying that space for some time.

A little bit of detective work yielded the culprit: a cunning bounty hunter who exclusively wielded kairoseki weaponry. The bounty hunter was unique in other ways. First of all, he refused to accept Luffy's paltry B$400,000,000 bounty, instead starting a bidding war between interested world powers for the ability to take Luffy's head. Two of the Yonkou, as well as the World Government and Commodore Drake got in on the war, and the Straw Hats would have to save him conventionally, as even if they did have the money, a certain navigator would never let them spend it.

The second thing that made the bounty hunter unique was that he owned his own castle. It was more of a tower than a castle, funded by the exaggerated bounties he had acquired from his bidding wars, no doubt. It was about 1,000 feet high with sheer walls, and a simple-yet-elegant manor house at the top, a lonely tower on an island barely large enough to contain it.

Someone had to get up to the top of that tower to rescue Luffy.

"So wait," Zoro said, a hint of growing panic in his voice. "Why am I doing this?"

Normally to get up to the top of a tower like that, Luffy could be counted upon with his Gum-Gum Rocket. To rescue Luffy, they needed an artificial facsimile. Usopp had whipped something up neatly enough: a huge, bright red rubber band. The rubber band had been suspended in a metallic rigging which held its two ends, and also strung it back taut.

"Just shut up and do it," Sanji said emphatically.

"Not until you answer!" Zoro spat back. "Why am I doing this?"

Zoro's consternation was easily apparent, as he was resting with his feet against the rubber band, his body stretched vertically, two swords drawn and pointing ahead.

"Somebody has to do it," Nami said, "and I'm just a sweet, innocent woman."

"Like hell," Zoro replied.

"I'm too small to go…" Chopper said sheepishly.

"I have I-can't-get-shot-out-of-a-slingshot disease!" Usopp testified.

"Stop bullshitting!" Zoro shouted.

"Being just bones, I am too light, and would fly off into the sky…" Brook lamented.

"And I'm too heavy," Franky added.

"The truth is that you're the strongest out of the rest of us," Robin said. "You are the most logical choice, Kenshi-san."

"But why am I dressed like this?" Zoro barked. Another valid question, as he was wearing a full rubber bodysuit that covered everything except his face that made him look beyond ridiculous.

"Aerodynamics," Usopp said knowingly. "I couldn't calculate the shot right if I had to account for wind resistance from clothes and stuff."

"Plus it looks just perfect on you!" Sanji said in a girly tone.

"Shut the hell up," Zoro spat back.

"Once you're up there, you'll have to try to find an elevator or staircase or something so that you can let the rest of us in if you need our help," Nami reminded.

"Remember to keep your head tucked, Zoro-bro," Franky said encouragingly.

"But wait, what if I…?" but Zoro's last statement was cut off, as Franky loosed the main latch holding the slingshot taut, and Zoro was off.

For a split second, he panicked utterly, but then felt elation as he soared higher and higher at an astounding rate. Whoa. I'm flying through the air! This is the greatest moment of my…

Crunch.

The remaining Straw Hats watched Zoro as he fell after hitting the side of the tower.

"Damnit," Usopp observed. "He didn't tuck his head."

I know exactly two stories about a Gary Stu and a Mary Sue that were quite enjoyable to read. One of them I finished just today, and it's Marie D Suesse And The Mystery New Pirate Age!. I don't know if it's in Fanfic Recs yet, because I got the link from a different forum entirely, but the story good.

Afterword:

When I started this fic about two years ago, I'd only meant to write a readable short story with as many Mary Sue cliches as possible. Seeing that this thing currently weighs in at 120k+ words, I think I've failed on the 'short story' front. But I've at least succeeded on cramming in the cliches and I do at least hope this was readable.

Strangely though, in the course of writing this story, I found my own perception of the topic of Mary Sues challenged and changed irrevocably. I used to have a rather jaundiced (and I'm afraid to say it, shallow) view of Sues. You know, the usual 'Sues are unrealistic and hated because they are perfect wish-fulfillment and we should spork/kill all Sues in horrible ways and avoid using Sue traits at all' worldview.

The thing is, what I've come to realise after studying and writing about this topic is, it's not the Sue traits that make the Sue reviled. It's the writing and characterisation. In short, it's not the what. It's the how.

A Sue isn't just a girl with a ridiculously wrong name and rainbow hair and speshul powers whom everyone falls in love with. An OC doesn't avoid being a Sue just because they are not perfect, look ordinary, or have no powers. All these things are superficial symptoms. At the core of it, what makes us despise an OC and call her a Sue is when that character is written badly and unconvincingly, cannot connect with the audience, yet given special attention and treatment that does not make sense and which does not match up with what the reader feels. We can tell it all feels forced, and we resent those false feelings being shoved down our throats.

And that's all there really is to it, IMHO.

To prove my point, well... you've just been reading an entire novel-length story about a 16-year old girl who falls into her favourite fictional world, gets magic powers, gathers a crew of cool characters around her {edited for spoilers}. All this sound like horrific Sue traits, but I like to think the way they were presented in this story was what made the difference between Mar being accepted and her being reviled.

Whether you agree with my observations or not, feel free to review and let me know what you thought of the story as a whole.

And thus we learn that not even a Pirate Emperor can get away with getting on Makino's bad side. [lol] (For the record, the comic is about post-Time Skip Luffy suddenly awakening to his libido and the love side of his heart... with Nami as his target)

A Pirate Lives Free

Short, depressing, and not getting any love (though I expected as such. Part of what drove me to shipping was the easier attention my work got, whereas this is single-character focused and with a starkly non-descriptive summary because providing a detailed summary would be a spoiler to what i have set up here).

Inspired by the ever-delightful The Little Match Girl, so you can get an idea of where i'm headed.

It's an allegorical ascension into heaven, where she skips from life as a child prisoner to life as one of the Straw Hats, which is her paradise.

More of my "inspiration" from Match Girl, where the end talked about her rejoining her grandma.

She imagined them whole-cloth as part of a delusional state, i guess her subconscious piecing them together from stories she had read (sensible enough, as the Straw Hats are a big example of Tropes Are Not Bad). I got the idea for this as some part of the conversation in the main One Piece thread, that none of it was real and the whole series was the imagination of a traumatized child seeking escape.

I don't think any stories from which you could glean the Straw Hats' true personalities (as opposed to WG propaganda and rumours among rival pirates, which in all probability would exaggerate their flaws and/or flanderize certain traits, like Nami's greed and Usopp's compulsive lying) could end up reaching her in Impel Down. Nobody goes there but the worst of criminals that the WG arrests, after all.

That said, I was half-expecting you to pull out a metaphysical explanation, like "her soul was trapped/split between two worlds, and finally crossed over to the second, happier one when she died in the original one".

She read stories, not about the Straw Hats, but others, before she was captured. Each member of the crew (including Robin herself, and the characters i left out just because I wanted to set this in Skypiea) follows an archetype that many children would be aware of (and she was particularly well-read, pre-Buster Call incident), so she imagined a crew of companions based on these archetypes; The Idiot Hero, The Lancer, the Cat Burglar Chick, two flavors of Cowardly Lion, and the Chivalrous Pervert

Think of it as an AU where Robin got captured and the actual existence of Luffy and the others is unimportant (neither confirmed nor denied), but she, at least, invented them, as well as inventing the adult Robin, while she was sick in jail, so an AU where the events of the series proper are just the imagined delusions of one of the characters, like if Usopp had fleshed out a crew for his tall-tales to Kaya.
