portada roles reversed au?

Oooooh this is SO INTERESTING lol I kinda went off with this!!

I switched around their parentage/upbringings/ages/roles in the story but tried to keep their original personalities intact to see how that would potentially change things or not. Big ol' One Piece spoilers below the cut!

So Portgas D. Yara is the daughter of Gol D. Roger and Portgas D. Rouge, and Dracule Ace is the son of Dracule Mihawk and Shimotsuki Akiko. In this AU, she is one year older than him (Yara was born January 1, 1502, and Ace December 31, 1502). 

After she was born, Garp took Yara to Mt. Corvo to be raised by the Dadan family. Yara is a lot less troublesome than Ace and Dadan is thankful to be raising a daughter (lol). In spite of this, she still grows up as a lonely child until she meets her best friend, Sabo. He sparks her interest in literature and history and knowledge and ends up teaching her a lot that he learned in his fancy noble education. They decide to become pirates one day and start a treasure fund for that purpose. Besides Sabo, Yara generally prefers to keep to herself, knowing how people would treat her if they found out she was the daughter of Gol D. Roger. She tends to push people away because of this. 

When Yara is 10, Garp brings his grandson Luffy to live with the bandits. Yara treats him coldly at first (mostly ignoring him) but Luffy’s persistence wins her over. She, Sabo, and Luffy become sworn siblings. Yara isn’t very sociable and has trouble expressing her emotions other than anger, but when Sabo dies, she, like Ace in canon, realizes she has to be a lot kinder and warmer, for Luffy’s sake. As a result of Sabo’s death, she swears to destroy the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. 

When she is 17, she sets sail and finds herself stranded on Sixis Island, where she meets Masked Deuce and comes across the Mera Mera no Mi, gaining its powers. From there, she forms the Dawn Pirates and sets off to achieve her goal of becoming strong enough to bring down the World Government. 

Unlike Ace in canon, Yara is uninterested in fame. Hell, she’s not terribly interested in being a captain, but she feels responsible for the people who chose to follow her, so she takes the burden on herself to do it. Her end goal is to avenge Sabo and bring down the world that hates her for existing so much. The offer for her to join the Warlords is a firm ‘hell no’. Eventually, she sets her sights on defeating the Four Emperors and decides to take on Whitebeard, thinking him the oldest and weakest, laying an ambush for him at a supply island that she estimated he would land on next. 

Meanwhile, Ace’s mother Shimotsuki Akiko died when Ace was only three months old, and his grandfather Ushimaru begged Ace’s father Mihawk to take him out of Wano. Mihawk, feeling unprepared for the burden of raising a child, leaves Ace at a monastery. He grows up angry and alone, resenting his father for abandoning him, and swears to become a great swordsman so that his father will be forced to acknowledge him and he’ll become so great that he will wipe his father’s name from history (similar to how Ace feels about Roger’s legacy in canon). He frequently got into fights with the other orphans and with people in the surrounding town who were unlucky enough to cross his path. 

When Cipher Pol comes calling, 13-year-old Ace fights them off and discovers the Tōka Tōka no Mi in the process. He kills CP5 commander Thalamo Gustus and escapes the monastery. Eventually, he ends up stowing away on the Moby Dick, where Whitebeard’s crew discovers him. Ace is mean and suspicious towards them at first (unlike Yara in her canon who took to them immediately), but eventually warms up to the crew and becomes fiercely loyal to the man he calls ‘Pops’. He joins Fifth Division and trains his swordplay under Vista. 

Ace and Yara’s fated first meeting happens when the Whitebeard Pirates take on the Dawn Pirates, defeating them and bringing the crew aboard. Ace was not expecting the dangerous rookie he had vaguely heard about to be such a cute girl. When Yara wakes up and tries attacking Whitebeard in her fury, he can’t help but find her the prettiest fireball of feral rage he’s ever seen. 

Yara doesn’t try to outright assassinate Whitebeard; her attempts on his life are a lot more subtle. She tries poisons and traps and other convoluted plans that always end in failure Wile E. Coyote-style. Ace thinks it’s cute and tries to speak/lowkey flirt with her, but she wants nothing to do with him. 

Eventually, his kindness wins her over, and she accepts defeat at Whitebeard’s hands, disbanding the Dawn Pirates and officially joining Whitebeard’s crew. Ace and Yara become closer and eventually Yara admits who her father is. She is worried that Ace wouldn’t accept her, but Ace assures her that it doesn’t matter to him and that he adores her regardless.  

Yara studied every account she could possibly find about Gold/Gol D. Roger, so she has a much more nuanced view of him than Ace does in canon. She knows from personal experience that people would hate her just for being Roger’s daughter, but she doesn’t see Roger himself as being an evil monster and thinks that a lot of it is World Government propaganda. Plus her darling little brother Luffy thinks Roger is cool. 

Ace definitely feels like Mihawk threw him away but he never tried to conceal his relation to Mihawk the way Yara did in her canon, so he still goes by Dracule Ace and doesn’t cover up his left eye (assuming he has Yara’s heterochromia in this role reversal). 

Yara’s incredible powers lead to her promotion to Second Division Commander, and she appoints Ace Vice-Commander. It’s around this time that the two are no longer able to hold back their feelings for each other, and end up getting together. 

When Teach murders Thatch, Yara is enraged. She doesn’t immediately storm out, though, but bides her time and sneaks away on the striker in the middle of the night, only saying goodbye to Ace. She aims to track Teach down, and briefly runs into her little brother Luffy in Alabasta, stepping in when Smoker attempts to capture Luffy, to which Luffy proudly tells his crew “That’s my big sister!”

Yara is defeated and captured by Teach on Banaro Island, and brought to the World Government, who recognise her as Roger’s daughter and decide to publicly execute her. Luffy tries to rescue her in Impel Down but fails, and she is shipped off to Marineford to face execution. 

The Whitebeard Pirates go to rescue Yara, as do their many allies and Luffy and the Impel Down crew. Sengoku reveals her parentage to the world before the battle. Yara doesn’t have the same self-hate issues Ace does so she isn’t surprised when everyone shows up-- in fact, she hopes that they will so that they can destroy Marineford and lay waste to the World Government. 

Ace gets his chance to square off with his father at Marineford, and uses his skills to keep Luffy safe as they head for the execution platform. 

Luffy succeeds in freeing Yara, and she and Ace reunite. Whitebeard gives the orders for his crew to retreat. However, when Akainu tries taunting Yara, she either ignores him because while she does have a fierce temper, she isn’t a total hothead, or Ace just picks her up before she can even respond (he’s 6’1, she’s 5’6 and easy to manhandle lol) and gets the hell outta there. I can see Ace rushing out of there with Luffy under one arm and Yara under the other.

Yara and Ace both survive Marineford in this AU. Yara is able to convince Luffy to go train with Rayleigh since he needs to become stronger and he sends a message to his crew that they will meet again in two years’ time. 

They would reappear in Wano to help Luffy and his other allies defeat Kaido. Ace learns about his mother and discovers that he is in fact heir to become daimyō of Ringo (which Yara couldn’t be in her canon because she’s female). They’re married at this point (funnily enough, Yara takes her husband’s name to become Dracule D. Yara), and they left their infant son in Mihawk’s care so they could lend Luffy their assistance.

PLEASE YAOI GODS HEAR MY PRAYERS AND GIVE US AN ANIME ADAPTATION OF YOAKA NO UTA

Lullaby of the Dawn vol 5 | Ichika Yuno

Yup. That's the review.

I love this series and how the conflict isn't a will they/won't they but more an exploration of our characters' goals, motivations, and needs. Elva is so well-crafted and the kannagi life is increasingly well described throughout. Alto is always so wonderful and I'm hoping he tells Elva about the major twist from the last volume.

Heavy trigger warning for this volume. Despite its adorable cover there is on page abuse and rape of a child. While these things have been alluded to before, I didn't expect to see them on page especially in a BL story.

Format: e-book
