Wealth. Fame. Power. The man who obtained all of this was Gold Roger, who was named King of the Pirates. His final words sent hundreds to the sea, looking for the legendary One Piece. In one reality, a straw-hatted Determinator cut an epic swath through the Grand Line.
Age of Wonder, written by Ved Walker, is an ongoing One Piece Alternate Universe Fic about an OC who eats a different fruit and goes on his own epic adventure. It has various crossovers with other fandoms and can be read on FF.Net here and Archive of Our Own here.
Age of Wonder contains examples of:
- Adaptational Badass: Silk in Romance Dawn was a Nami prototype with little characterization. In this fic, she's a history nut for a famous explorer, with excessive paladin traits. This is before she gets a Devil Fruit.
- Ancestral Weapon: Golden Ax Dorado, used by Silk in conjunction with her Gol-Gol powers.
- An Offer You Can't Refuse: Kisame makes it clear to Carina that she will sail for the Grand Line… or else.
- Ascended Extra: Silk
- Badass in a Nice Suit: Rather than canon, Sanji beats Pearl instead of Gin. Though the fight was off-screen, still an impressive feat.
- Balance of Power: Just like in canon, except for theeight Warlords of the Sea!
- Magnetic Hero: James Hook, something so obvious, Zoro lampshades it.
- Mask of Sanity: Kisame's whole facade breaks after Silk's "The Reason You Suck" Speech.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: Kisame presents himself as a well-meaning misguided Reformer. At first...
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Silk delivers one to Hook's opponent before the last round. He takes it well.
- Took a Level in Badass: In the first chapter, James Hook can't even fight Alvida's underlings. A couple of chapters later, he's going toe-to-toe against a Fishman!
