One Piece isekai story but. different

So there's a teenage boy. Reads One Piece. Loves the battles, the characters' strength and determination, the wildness of the world and all the adventures.

One day, as sometimes happens, he gets hit by a bus and reborn into the One Piece world.

It takes some time for him to grow up enough to realize it's the One Piece world - he was reborn for real, and his brain takes a bit to catch up to his first-life memories.

His new home is a small, uneventful village in the East Blue, not brushed by the main plot, and our isekai protagonist grows up wondering what to do with this second chance.

Because on the one hand, just being born into One Piece did not automatically give him main character energy. He doesn't have a Devil Fruit and has not managed to figure out how to become a powerhouse like Zoro or Sanji. Probably the smart thing to do would be to take his out-of-the-way location as a sign and avoid anything that looks like Plot.

On the other hand... he's in One Piece. There's so much cool stuff out there. This is everything he dreamed about the first time around. This is the best chance he'll ever have to become someone like Luffy or Zoro, the kind of person he's always wanted to be. How can he not take it?

This bounces back and forth in his brain the whole time he's growing back up. Even staying home doesn't protect you from loss, he learns when he becomes an orphan - this is both an argument for and against going anywhere.

And then. One day in his teens.

Luffy lands in the village.

Our protagonist recognizes him from hundreds of chapters and hundreds more episodes, with his crew by his side - or the beginnings of his crew, at least, there's hardly any of them. This must be early in canon.

Of course he makes friends with them. How could he not? They're the Straw Hats.

And, of course, they uncover an evil plot threatening his village - and, wait, he actually vaguely remembers this arc? Though it didn't go this way in the manga, because he wasn't there...

Huh. He's getting to affect a little bit of canon. And while our protagonist is more focused on making sure nothing goes wrong for the village and people he's grown to love, part of his brain is fanboying about that. He's gotten his brush with the real Straw Hats! He's gotten an adventure with them!

And he does okay. They save the day, and he even helped, and Luffy calls him a friend and even Zoro gives him approval. The rush is kind of a lot.

It makes things click. Our protagonist finally lets one side win in his mental argument. He'll never be happy if he doesn't go out and experience this world, reborn normie or not. He packs his bags and decides to set out, saying goodbye to the Straw Hats on his way. Maybe he'll even get to see them again--

Wait.

Why are they telling him to board their ship.

Why are they asking him to join the crew.

This is way beyond a little canon divergence, and he knows he should say no, knows trying to insert himself into the main characters is insane...

But they want him. Luffy wants him to join his crew, and even a day in his company has made him feel like not just a character but a friend. Who can say no to Luffy?

...And, actually. He's already affected the plot. They got a ship out of this adventure, and he is 90% sure that didn't happen in canon. They tended to swap their ships out a lot in early arcs, so maybe it won't have a lasting effect, but...hey, maybe he won't either! Maybe this is just a little extension of his brush with greatness.

Maybe he can push his luck anyway.

So, with a laugh and a cheer, our isekai protagonist boards the Going Merry and asks - just to see - if he can be the captain.

Luffy says no, obviously, but that's okay. Usopp knows he was never supposed to be here - he's happy just to get a chance on the crew.

Who's ready to face the truth that Akechi thinks clowns are super cool and at least briefly considered pursuing it as a career?

It is not classist that Jason, a vigilante in a *family of vigilantes*, is violent like the rest | just | because he comes from a poor family

What's (more likely) classist is writers thinking he needs to be taught right vs wrong from Bruce and co and that he consequently makes snap judgments out of some childish grudge-fueled rebellion which makes him dangerous the way a toddler holding a knife is dangerous

Also putting this add-on here too, because it’s impORTANT! /j

playing Ballistic but sucking tremendous ass at the game is the best thing. If I get 3 kills in a game I'm very happy but the only thing that old bitch knows how to do is brag constantly so it's like. yeah buddy you're the best, now let's get you back to the nursing home

I’m pretty sure this costume is going to be traded in for a more traditional look by the end of the movie

The movie originally had the subtitle “Legacy” and features a huge cast of established superheroes, most of whom are not the original versions or are part of their own larger team

The image gives the vibe of an internal conflict as Supes puts on a roughed up suit to deal with a huge world threatening situation in the distance. The suit itself looks very technical, maybe a little over designed tho I think it’ll look better in action, there’s a clear New 52 influence. I think it’s also intended to be somewhat excessive and formal, being originally from Krypton

I think the main thread of the movie is Clark figuring out his purpose, what kind of hero he wants to be, how he wants to represent himself, etc. He’ll seek out the advice/perspectives of different legacy heroes. By the end when he figures out who “Superman” is as a concept, he’ll wear a new suit, his classic comic look, setting the tone for the new continuity

and just imagine if they covered each other’s songs for that ep i want to hear yuuma do quiet explosion!! i want to hear mamo do salt & sugar!!!

Studies have shown that approximately 60% of The Greatest Showman songs can be improved by making them about Monkey D. Luffy.

executive dysfunction is so blatantly absurd most of the time like.

I've been trying to get myself to do the dishes all day. Finally at midnight I'm standing in front of the sink like. Okay! What's the problem! And my brain goes

"I can't...put on rubber gloves. 😞"

So I do a sink full of dishes by just...moving my hands quickly and gingerly through the hot water....

now if you told this to someone whose brain doesn't regularly hold them hostage they'd say "That's stupid! Just put on the gloves! It's not that hard! If it is, surely the discomfort of nearly burning your hands and touching wet dirty dishes would be enough to compel you to do so!"

buddy, I've been wishing it were that easy my whole goddamn life!!

[kiwi-tmntfan]

I've been up for only. idk like four hours?? Basically doing yard work for most of it. I'm so tired honestly

[winglessbatswag]

Today I found out that the white room isn't a joke and actually exist and (at least in my country) is actually like legally signed that each and every hospital must have one and just like... What do you mean the crazy rubber room is REAL???

[bitchy-peachy]

Omfg just saw the dumbest braindead take. I'd rather commit seppuku than say some dumbshit like this. How isn't this cringelord embarrassed? This goofy ain't having a "revolution" cos he's too busy crying in his safe space where everyone agrees with his hateful low intellect lame crap.
