armor in the water fanfic

Old, infirm and dying in his bed, William Bullock suddenly finds himself embroiled in an adventure he could never have imagined. Join this member of America's "Silent Generation" as he is thrust into a world he has no idea about and witnesses events beyond anything he could have imagined while on Earth. What to expect? A more realistic look at force and Marines in the world of One Piece. What not to expect? Harem, stupidity for the sake of plot, low IQ of the main villains, instantly becoming super strong, purposefully weakening characters to make the main character look better. TO BE CLEAR: This story is not a retelling of the story of the Straw Hats in the One Piece world. This fanfic will feature the Straw Hat Pirates because they do crazy things, but that won't happen until the second half of the first part, and even then the main character will have other tasks and goals that may or may not be the same as theirs. There will be no plot where the main character follows the tracks of the main pirate crews and solves problems before they arise, because he does not know the future. He may find himself in such situations because the Sailors are a global organization and he can capture large or small pirate crews, but he will never be assigned to a certain location simply because he read the manga.
