Hello everyone! BossCampers Here! I have a new special project for yeah! Hehehe.
To those who actively have followed me up to now might be confused as to why I made this story. Well the work on my main project, "Pain Comes in Waves", is taking longer than it should to be entirely finished. I also have intense classes for my next semester that I must focus on too, so I can't spend as much time pouring my mind into its tomes. Not to say that it's done, it has just been moved to a Winter release instead of October, yeah dig.
However, I still wanted to keep my writing chops up to snuff for when I do get back to working on the story. So I was brainstorming ideas on what to write about. It had to be something easy yet challenging for me to do, while also giving me a test to see how well I can do weekly writing and updates. And then as I was getting ready for work, this absolutely marvelous idea hit me thanks to the Muse.
I would write a story that is a tribute to One Piece, my favorite story but with a twist. What if the Warlords of the Sea were swapped with the Straw Hats?! And so I went off from there. I do have this strange quirk with my mind that makes it so I plan things out so fast and far, that I've already planned out everything up to Pre-Timeskip, Hehehaha!
So here is my test for a weekly release every Sunday(Or at least as much as I can)! Let's go!
Fun Fact: I watched episode 1071 in between writing this, it was great!
-------------
Power, Fame, and Wealth… Silvers Rayleigh, the king of the pirates attained everything this world has to offer. And his dying words drove countless souls to the seas. "Humph, you want my treasure, you can have it! I left everything I gathered in one place! Now you just have to find it!"
These words lured men to the grand line in pursuit of dreams greater than they ever cared to imagine. This is the time known as the Great Pirate Era!
WE ARE INTENSIFIES!

{Come aboard, and bring along}
{All your hopes and dreams}
The song begins with Trafalgar D Water Law Smirking as he runs towards the cliff smiling wide. He then jumps off the cliff with his sword in hand.
As the drums signal in each member we see, Mihawk, Boa, Buggy, and Doffy.
{Together we will find everything}
{That we're looking for}
Law uses his room to teleport to a swan like ship as it goes to…
.
{ONE PIECE!}

{Compass left behind}
{It'll only slow us down}
{Your heart will be your guide}
{Raise the sails, and take the helm}
The swan ship sails alongside the gigantic sea beasts triumphantly.

{Through it all, through all the troubled times}
Mihawk unsheathes his sword and slices down all the pirates in one blow.
{Through the heartache, and through the pain}
Doflamingo uses his strings to move his legs like a tornado.
{Know that I will be there to stand by you}
Buggy launches a fist at one pirate, throwing him overboard. While Boa winks at the camera, and uses her love love beam to turn them to stone. They hi-five in style.
{Just like I know you'll stand by me!}
Law ready's his sword as the lord of the coast rushes him. He then uses injection shot right at it's head, finishing it off.
The villains then flash by, Ussop, Rob Lucci, and Don Kreig!
.
{So come aboard, and bring along}
{All your hopes and dreams}
Law jumps down on the ship smirking as their jolly roger flys behind him.
Even more villains flash by, Fisher Tiger, Kaya, Smoker, and Trafalgar D Dragon

{That we're looking for}
Their Jolly Roger flys in the wind.

{We are, we are, on the cruise!}
Law and his crew once again look forward to seeing what adventures lie in store, as it finishes with…
.
{WE ARE!!}
The sea calls out to you for the East Blue. A cruise ship, one that has made many voyages throughout many islands across the East Blue, has found itself avoiding a rather precarious whirlpool.
Two guards were admiring the true scale of the whirlpool, when they heard something lightly hit against the ship. Looking down, they saw a barrel floating along the sea. After two attempts, the two deckhands on hand managed to heave up the heavy barrel up onto the ship with a lasso.
"Man this thing is heavy," huffed the first deckhand.
"Maybe it's got beer in it? I'm not sharing my half" Added the second.
There was a third one up high on the crows nest looking down at them chuckling. That was until out of the corner of his eye he saw a ship, a pirate ship, flying a pirate flag with a wicked goat on it. "Ship off the starboard bow! And their flying a pirate flag! Enemy Raid! Enemy Raid!" He shouted from above causing everyone to flee frantically in all directions.
Cannonballs began to rain down on the cruise ship, causing the barrel that was picked up earlier to roll all the way down below decks, landing against the wall.
With ease, the pirate ship began unloading its crew onto the cruise ship, sending hordes of pirates into the vessel. One such 'Pirate' was a small pudgy pink haired boy, named Koby. Koby peaked through one of the rooms and saw a barrel that smashed into some food supplies.
"There's no one in here," he says cautiously walking in. "Wow that's one big barrel, I wonder what's inside of it?" He wondered out loud as he began attempting to roll the heavy barrel up to the deck. Unfortunately for him, three of his 'crewmates' came in to cause him trouble.
"Well if it isn't our favorite coward. Trying to hide here to suck out on all the action again?" Sneered the blond one with a goatee.
"W-what, no! I was just hauling this big barrel of beer up for Lady Kaya," he waved his hands in a panic.
"How about we lighten the load for yeah kid," said the man with the letter 'S' tattooed on his right eye. "Keep your trap shut about all this booze and we'll let you scram, capish," he grinned.
"R-right, hehe. It's all yours," Koby mumbled as the big one of the group snatched it out of his hands
"Hold on boys I'm gonna open this the old fashioned way," said the bulky one, cracking his knuckles as he prepared a punch to destroy the barrel.
Koby was watching the whole thing, when he swore he heard a muffled voice say "ROOM," as the room quickly filled with a hazy blue atmosphere that the three pirates didn't even notice, due to enticed on the potential booze. The big guy threw his punch about to break the barrel when Koby heard it again, that muffled voice.
"SHAMBLES," all of a sudden the bigger pirate completely vanished being replaced by a figure cloaked in black. All he could see were his hands, which had tattoos on them.
"Who ar-" barely getting the chance to speak, the cloaked figure pushed in both of the pirates chests causing their… HEARTS TO COME OUT! WAAAAAA!
"Why you little!" a muffled yell came out of the barrel as the lid exploded out, revealing a very angry pirate, his veins bulging in anger. "Just who the hell do you think you are!"
The man was about to throw another punch, this time aimed right at the cloaked figure's head. The figure removed his hood, revealing a man in his early 20s with a fur hat. He looked at the man bored, yet quickly unsheathed his sword, aiming it at his opponent's head. "Law," he spoke as a crosshair quickly flashed on the man's head before the sound of a gun went off, leaving the man dead, with a hole in his head.
Law sighed as he released his room and sheathed his blade back in its scabbard.
"So… cool," mumbled Koby, as his words caused the man to notice him in the room for the first time, with him reaching for his sword. "Wait! wait! I'm not with them! Please don't shoot, I mean cut me!" He cried as he banged his head on the floor in forgiveness.
"Woah woah, easy kid. Your gonna give yourself a concussion like that," he reassured the boy as he calmed himself down. "I didn't see you in the room, it was my mistake. The names, Law, Trafalgar Law," smiled Law helping Koby up. "You work on this ship kid?" Law asked him. "I haven't eaten in a few days," he sighed patting his stomach.
"I uh," stuttered Koby as he was about to say the truth, the truth that he was forced into a pirate crew, but after what he saw, the hearts, the gunshot to the head… "Yes I work here, I think the kitchen is right behind me, I-id be happy to give you some for saving me," he said sweat dropping.
Law gave a warm smile, "Arigato," he thanked as he walked over and picked up the two hearts, before walking into the backdoor where the food was being held. It looked like the hearts were in some sort of jelly that was keeping them alive, they were still beating, even though they weren't a part of their original bodies.
"S-so," sputtered Koby as Law rummaged through the food stores for something to eat. "Are you a pirate?"
Law looked over his back at Koby, glaring at him, "I am, so what," he said taking a bite out of a riceball.
"So you did kill those men!" Koby shouted, before quickly covering his mouth. "I shouldn't have said that out loud," he muttered dejectedly.
"It's fine kid," Law waved him off. "I only killed the big oaf, he was a nuisance. I took the other two as my hostages, they should give me some leverage against their captain," finished Law as he quickly finished the riceball with another bite.
Koby's head was swimming, who is this guy? "But you ripped their hearts out!"
"I more so ejected them out, their still very much alive, just unconscious. But, when they wake up ill make them join my crew, if only temporarily until I find someone better."
"You have a whole crew of pirates under your command!" gaped Koby.
Law just laid down, moving his hat over his eyes, "No not yet, I'm thinking of getting together about 10 other crew members before I can get the treasure."
"The treasure?"
"That's right you know, the one."
Koby thought for one second before realizing what he was saying, sweating nervously. "No your going after…"
"Humph, that's right. The One Piece," said Law ominously, lifting his fur hat just enough for a single, glaring eye, to pierce Koby's very psyche.
"But," whispered Koby stepping back from him. "Pirates from all over the world are looking for that treasure and you think you can do it!"
"Of course,"
"Don't say it so nonchalantly! If your searching for the One Piece you must also be after the title of Pirate King too!"
"Most definitely," grinned Law standing up, approaching the smaller boy and looking down on him. "You don't seem to believe I can do it."
"I-it's just unlikely, that's all," sputtered Koby, once again being intimidated by the fur hat wearing pirate.
Instead of violence like he expected, the man just rubbed his head with his hand and gave him another warm smile. "Then ill just have to prove it to you along with the rest of the world huh."
Koby looked up at the young man and couldn't believe what he was saying. This is a man who would try his absolute best to achieve his dreams, just like he wanted to be a marine. Maybe, just maybe, he should go out and try just as hard as this man was to achieve his dreams too.
Suddenly the whole roof began to quake as both of them looked up. It sounded like heavy footsteps with them getting closer with each step. "Oh no! It's lady pirate Kaya!" he shouted as an iron mace smashed through the roof causing debris to fly all over the place.
"Koby, Koby, Koby," teased a voice, a deep voice that for some reason had a feminine quality to it. "Just what were you doing down here screaming your head off. Were you finally taking to the ways of a pirate my little chore boy," subtly flirted the figure.
As the smoke began to clear out, Law and Koby could see the towering figure gleaming down at Koby. She was a morbidly obese woman with long wavy pale blond hair covered by a white cowboy hat with a red handkerchief on it. She was wearing a pink plaid shirt and jeans, which hardly fit her. While looking down at Koby, she swung a giant iron cannon on her shoulder.
"Ara Koby, who's the obese woman, you know her?" asked Law walking to the side so he could see Koby, as he was being blocked from view by the rotund lady.
"What'd you say did you just call me fat!" Screeched the Blond as she turned around and swung down her iron cannon where Law was. Koby looked away, he didn't want to see another person get splattered by her. Then he heard the sound of metal, and to his shock, Law's sword blocked the blow with him holding up the cannon with just one arm!
"Hey kid wanna get out of here," smirked Law, acting like Kaya wasn't even there. Koby gave a scared nod as the blue sphere enveloped them once again. In the blink of an eye they were up on the deck where about 50 pirates were there waiting for them.
"What the how'd he get there!?" Shouted a pirate.
"He must've ran away from Lady Kaya, get him!" Said another as the group charged at the two. Koby stared in horror as Law made another blue sphere in his hand covering all the pirates inside.
"AMPUTATE!" he yelled as he swung his sword at the first pirate who ran at him.
"Ah! I've been hit! I've been hit. Hit…? Hey nothing happened," said the pirate confused as he looked at himself.
"Must be a total wimp! Let's kick his ass!"
"Fu," Law gave a light blow at the pirates as all 50 of them were cut in half at the waist! They were all screaming all still alive as the one hundred pieces of people squirmed around.
"WAAHH!" Shouted Koby in shock as once again his jaw hit the floor at the grotesque display.
Kaya, who was below decks leaped all the way up to the deck of the ship, causing the whole vessel to shake at the force. "Oh, so the hippo decided to be a kangaroo," slyly joked Law.
"So…huff puff, you ate the Op Op no mi, the Operation Fruit," mused Kaya. "I heard that fruit was stolen from a government ship about 11 years ago, I never imagined it would still be in the East after all these years," she spoke aiming her cannon at him. "After I kill you, I'm going to find your fruit and get 5 billion berries from the government!" She yelled, firing a cannonball out of her cannon.
"How naive," be groaned as he threw a rock from out of his cloak and threw it at her. "SHAMBLES!" He said as the rock and cannonball swapped places so that the cannonball was now hurdling towards Kaya's gut!
"What the hell!" Yelled Kaya as the cannonball hit her, the mere explosion and speed it had threw her clear overboard in a huge explosion.
Law sheathed his blade and dusted off his hands, sighing in exhaustion. "Alright glad that's settled," spoke Law to no one in particular. He saw crawling out of the decks were two pirates who hadn't been cut down. He grinned evilly as he saw they both had a hole in their chest. "Hey, you two, get me a dingy! Me and the boy are getting out of here," ordered Law pointing to the two pirates.
"Why should we help you!?"
"You stole our hearts! Like literally!"
"Oh your hearts, I have them right here for you," he laughed lowly as he pulled out two still beating hearts from his coat. The two pirates cried in pain as he gave them both a small squeeze, "Of course we'll get one right away!" They bowed, running to Kaya's ship to get a small boat.
"So kid," Law began turning to Koby. "You want to come with me? I bet your crew must be worried sick about you, but this place is trashed on both sides," Law gave an annoyed sigh, putting his hands in his pockets
"I lied to you," mumbled Koby, just loud enough for Law to hear.
"You what?"
"I lied to you okay, I'm a part of Kaya's Pirate crew! They dragged me into it, but I didn't have the guts to leave!" Koby yelled, tears streaming from his eyes. "All I want to do is become a marine, that's it and put pirates in their place. But you're a pirate. It wouldn't be right if you to help me," Koby finished looking down to the floor defeated.
"Kid," Koby looked up, "It's fine. It's fine that you lied, you wanted to live so you could achieve those dreams. There's nothing wrong with that," Law spoke kindly patting the boy on the head.
"Y-you really mean it sir?" asked Koby getting a nod from Law, making him feel alot better.
Without even a minute to rest, huge cannonballs began to be bombarded at both ships, causing them both the shake violently.
"Look Law, it's a marine ship, I'm saved!" Shouted Koby in joy jumping around and waving his arms at the ship.
Law squinted his eyes as if trying to zoom in like his eyes were binoculars. His eyes went wide in exasperated panic as he saw who's ship that was. "Ah shit! Shit! Shit! We need to get the heck out of here now!" Panicked Law as he grabbed Koby and sprinted in the opposite direction.
"Wait why are we running!" Shouted Koby, who was being carried like used luggage. "I want to ask them to become a marine!"
"You don't want that kid!" Shouted Law frantically as they neared the end of the ship. "That ship is captained by my idiot grandfather! If he catches me, I mean us, he's going to torture us! You two better have the boat ready!" Shouted Law looking down at the two heartless pirates rowing out their boat. Law wasted no time and leaped off the end off the ship, landing right onto the row boat. "Start rowing like your life depends on it, or I'll squeeze your heart like jam!" Screamed Law
"Yes Sir!" The two pirates screamed as they rowed as fast as they could away from the boats.
---------------
Back at the ships, 30 minutes later…
.
Marines were moving along the decks of the cruise and pirate ships. They were doing first aid on the passengers, asking for witness testimony, and securing both the pirates and the gold.
A burly man with a dog mask was walking over to the scene of the crime smiling widely. A marine saluted him and he nodded back, "So what's the situation recruit?"
"Well, sir, there are no casualties among the civilians, and injuries were kept very light. Right now, there appear to be no stolen valuables from the people themselves, however, the most terrifying thing is what happened to these 50 pirates, they appear to be cut in half," said the recruit looking a bit pale at the last part. The Vice Admiral moved him aside to see that the pirates were cut up, but still conscious with no blood leaking out.
"And what happened to the captain?"
"Their Captain, we're not sure. According to the pirate, she fell overboard with that being the last time anyone saw her. The only thing she was here was her iron cannon that she often used for combat?".
"Good good," said the man in the dog mask, as he leaned into the recruit's ear. "Cover it up."
"What, sir what are you,?"
"I said cover it up or else," grinned the Vice Admiral, as the recruit quickly nodded in agreement. The man in the mask walked back to his ship, taking off the dog mask to get some fresh air. "Gahaha! It seems like your journey finally began my idiot grandson! I promise I won't go easy on you after this!" He declared laughing uproariously all the while.
That man, known by many as Garp the Fist, is also known as the hero of the Marines: Trafalgar D Garp!
That's A Wrap on the first of many chapters to be released! So yep, Law has replaced Luffy in this story as he journeys to gather the rest of his crew! Also, Alvida and Kaya have swapped along with Garp being Law's Grandpa, hurray for living relatives! Next Sunday, who will replace Zoro?! I wonder who!
Read On!
