"Hello there, can I talk to you for a minute." Roya says, quite suspiciously.
"Huh, a man! I guess Shanks was right."
"Wait, what do you mean Shanks was right? I just wanted to speak to you."
"Let me join your pirate crew! Please, please, please!"
"Wait, calm down. Why do you want to join my crew in the first place, and how do you even know I'm a pirate in the first place, I haven't even started my pirate crew yet."
"Well, after I was saved by her, she told me that if a man comes to this village before I am 18, I should immediately join his crew. She was quite insistent about it even before she saved me, it started when I ate some fruit that made me become rubber, look!" Lucy stretching her cheek to show she is stretchy.
"Oh, ummm, welcome to my crew, I guess?"
" Ok, wait for me to finish my training, and then I will come with you." She runs away to continue fighting the animals in the forest.
'So.... no Pirate Ki- Queen dream, which means this is not the same as the canon! And I don't even know the whole canon story yet, oh I'm so fucked!! It is also a year before the story starts, which means, except for the characters and islands mentioned in the Blues and the Grandline until Enies Lobby, I'm completely blind to the rest of the story.'
'Thank goodness I don't have to join the Strawhats tho, that would have been boring as hell, better to shake up the world yourself than be a subordinate helping someone else shake up the world. I still view this place as a dream as well, I mean to be sent to somewhere after death, when it is a piece of fiction, is extremely unrealistic.'
'But I still better take this world seriously, I'm not some sociopath and madman to be not scared of death at under 20 years old, not even a fifth of 100 years old. I also know that the Admirals and Yonko are extremely strong, and I'm only at Rear Admiral. So even if I'm in the East Blue, the supposed weakest sea, I can still get jumped by a Yonko/Admiral threat, which is not ideal.'
'Oh, I just realised, who the fuck is Tritoma, and why is she locked? Is it because she is over my power level, her significance in the story is too important for my level, or is it just for some secret thing I'm going to unlock in the future regarding the system? I guess this is linked to one of the things the system said about completing something to unlock their revival, which means that system wasn't lying to me.'
"I'm back, thanks for waiting for me." Lucy finally arrives, all sweaty and a bit red as well.
"Ye, of course I waited for you, your my first mate, as in crew member of course."
"What's your name, captain?"
"Uhhh, my name is Roya. Ryunnosuke Roya to be precise. What's yours?"
"My name is Monkey D Lucy, the woman who will save the world!"
"From what?"
"Well, Shanks said that lots of places are not free, and makes my heart hurt, so I want to free every place in the world. What's your dream, Roya?"
"Mine... Mine is to become the King of the Pirates and King of the World."
"Ohhhh, what a hefty dream, and I guess I will help you achieve that dream of yours, the last Pirate Queen had been publicly executed, so I hope that won't be you."
"We will see what happens in the future, anyway, I need to recruit a brewer and a kind of leader, similar to a bandit leader."
"I know where to get both, come follow me!"
'No way she is this empty-minded to suspicion, unless she fully trusts me.'
"So, how and why did you go onto this island out of every other one in the East Blue, especially when your a man?"
"Well, I just woke up here, and I don't remember anything else, except for my dream."
"Hmmmm, so you lost your memory?"
"Yes, I did lose my memory, and now I'm recruiting my own crew, aiming for a dream that seems impossible."
"Well, no matter how impossible it seems, you should always strive to complete that dream, no matter what!"
"Anyway, who are the people you know that I should recruit?"
"One of them is Makino, she is has the best food and apparently her drinks are really good as well, she also wants to give her bar to her friend to start living a new life. And the other is Dadan, she said she wanted to appoint one of her closest people as the new bandit leader, and needs an excuse to do so, so I think you should recruit them both and I know them both, which means I wont be lonely!"
"Alright... how long is it going to take to go to them?"
"It won't take that long, trust me."
"You better not, I'm starting to get drowsy, already."
*30 minutes later*
"We are here! I told you it won't ta- why are you on the ground? Wake UP!"
"Huh-wha, oh oh finally, help me recruit them please."
"Of course, I did give you the suggestion, little Roya."
"I'm only 3 years younger than you, and I'm only an inch shorter than you."
"Listen to your olders, and stay ri- wh-what the-"
"Let's recruit them, before you start your shenanigans on me again."
"Stop doing that, I get that your faster than me, but don't rub it on my face!"
Roya walks into Makino's Bar, seeing Makino talking to Dadan and the Dadan family laughing with each other while drinking. Roya goes to sit next to Dadan, not minding all the reddening and shocked faces looking at his appearance while Lucy barges in.
"Don't walk away from me! I was going to show you why you should listen to me!"
"And what were you going to say?"
"... I forgot now because of you, but I guess its time to recruit them both.'
"Recruit wh-who now? And how do you know a man, Lucy?" Makino asks shyly, taking slight peeks at Roya.
"I thought there weren't any male pirates anymore, that's what Garla said, but I guess not everything said by that madwoman is true." Dadan says proudly, slightly looking at Roya who is now drinking juice.
"Well, I guess I am a one of a kind, and also would you both like to join my crew, I already invited Lucy and she joined."
"Um, I have to look after my bar." "I am already a leader of a group of bandits"
"Makino, didn't you say you were going to hand over your bar to your friend, and start living a different life, and Dadan, didn't you say you were going to replace yourself with one of your close friends, so why not join his crew."
....
"Lucy, you don't get it, it is embarrasing, especially for Makino, to join a man's crew, especially a pirate no less."
"But why does it matter if he is a man, you can't just believe him to be evil without knowing him, trust me he is not evil."
"We can recruit others, there is no need to force them to join." Roya says, finishing and about to walk off.
"Wait, if what Lucy said is true, and you don't have any ulterior motives, then I trust her and I want to join your crew.'
"Ahhhh, fine, I will join as well."
"Dadaaaaaan, you can't leave us!!" Dadan's bandits beg her to stay and she starts berating them and says she will come back in the future.
"Give us at least a few minutes to complete our farewells, and then we will board your ship."
"Sure, Lucy, let's see my ship."
"I'm cominggg!"
*10 mins later*
"Where is the ship, Roya you liar!"
"Wait, you have to be patient first."
Ship: Level 2 (1 more crew member required for upgrade)
Do you wish to place down your ship?
'Yes, what else am I going to do?'
A small ship pops out of the ocean, containing roughly 4 large bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a deck, with a cabin underneath to store items.(Gets bigger over time).
"Ohhhhh, this is so cool, I'm going to go on an actual ship, and sail the seas!"
"Well, we are still in the most boring part of the seas, and I want to actually start fighting and gaining experience, so we don't die due to inexperience.'
"Well, I'm going to claim a room, byeeee."
Lucy goes and claims a room while I wait here for Makino and Dadan to arrive.
*40 minutes later*
"I finally arrived, thanks for waiting for me, captain." Makino says, arriving first.
"My name's Roya, and I'm happy to wait for my future crew member, just go ahead and pick a room to unpack your belongings and start placing them in the right positions."
"Are you going to show me?"
"Lucy will show you, her room is towards the end of the right side of the corridor."
"Ok, thanks Roya."
While Makino walks into the ship, Dadan finally arrives.
"Jeez, what an annoying bunch of idiots, but I will miss those idiots."
"Dadan, welcome to ship, would you like a gift for joining."
"What is the gift?"
"I can reverse your age back in time to your prime age, do you want the gift now?"
"Of course, but are you really able to do that, that sounds too unreal."
"Why would I even say that in the first place, I can also revive the dead."
"Your lying, brat, don't try to trick me again!"
"Let me show you then."
You have chosen to sacrifice your right index fingernail.
You have chosen to reverse Dadan's age back from 55 to 25.
A blinding light occurs, changing Dadan into her skinny form once again, and back into her prime. (age-wise)
"Ho-How did you do that! There is no way you have the ability to reverse people's age and revive the dead! That'll get you chased by the Marines and the World Government all the time."
"That is if only the wrong type of people know my ability."
"You better keep that a secret to the rest of the world, unless you want to die quickly."
"We will see, anyway, go pack your stuff up, place them into your room and find Lucy or Makino to show you around, I'm going to get the ship moving. Also, my name is Roya, don't call me captain."
"Sure, thanks Roya, I will make sure to make our pirates the best pirates. Also, what is our pirate crew called?"
"Um, let's call it the Star Pirates, because we are aiming for the stars."
"For now, that's a good name, anyway, bye Roya."
"Bye, Dadan."
