A Guide to Ex-Husbands on the Grand Line

Complete. Please add my new novel to your collection; it’s in the announcements.

The first time I faked my death, I was Lia, a technician killed by a single punch.

The second time, I was a bride in the Night Kingdom of Spring Island.

The third time, I was an amnesiac genius in the Navy’s science division.

The fourth time, I was a doctor traveling the four seas.

Every time I died, I got a new face, a new life, and a new man.

, Later, they surrounded me on the Grand Line.

My name is Williams Lia, and my job is interdimensional traveler. (No, actually, I’m a professional [forced] wage slave.)

My golden finger is a spacefaring supercomputer. Its hidden function is to livestream my “immersive One Piece experience” to an interstellar audience. My job is to switch skins, scratch that, to be a control freak and master schemer.

The first time, I was a little technician in Whitebeard’s crew, an artisan, designer, and repairwoman in Sabaody.

The little bird’s late-night calls never stopped, and neither did the calls from the first mate.

Even the Admiral was a regular at my shop.

It was supposed to be a sweet, romantic slice-of-life story.

But then the fire at Mary Geoise burned me away with a single punch.

The second time, I became Mo.

When I woke up, I was wandering alone.

Later, beneath the moonlight of the Night Kingdom of Spring Island, he slipped a ring onto my finger.

I found my family again, too.

I thought this time I could be happy and healthy, growing old together with him.

The third time, my memories were “protected,” and I set out on a new journey once more.

I became Hoshino Yui, a member of the science division, and married the man who treated me well.

I also maintained a “friendly” relationship with my superior.

I love my husband. He’s wonderful, truly wonderful.

But sometimes my superior looks at me as if he’s seeing someone else.

The fourth time, I became Lamia, a doctor traveling the four seas.

A few of my memories returned, just enough for me to realize,

Someone had waited for me on the Grand Line for three lifetimes.

Someone had searched for me for three lifetimes.

Someone had never smiled again after I died.

Then they surrounded me.

The little bird’s gaze was no longer languid and carefree. It was so dark I couldn’t see the bottom.

First Mate Number One stood in the distance, his eyes behind his glasses filled with complicated emotions.

Admiral Number One took my arm and said, “She’s my fiancée.”

Admiral Number Two asked, “Why did you only show up now? I missed you so much.”

The Heavenly Demon sat in the wedding carriage, grinning arrogantly. “Being together is the best possible outcome for us.”

First Mate Number Two said, “You can’t turn me down! You said you were willing, didn’t you?”

Admiral Number Three stood in front of me. “You’re my fiancée. You should come back to the Navy with me.”

That Yonko stood at the bow of his ship and held out a hand to me. “Come with me, big sis. I’ll be good, I promise. I’ll never make you sad!”

Before I could even answer,

Content warnings

1. The heroine is irresistible to everyone. Age is just a number! According to the setup, some characters’ ages will be adjusted up or down.

The plot and romance are split evenly.

2. I like planting foreshadowing.

3. The heroine isn’t strong at first. She’ll work hard to learn, and only become formidable near the end.

4. There are couples, but the ending branches into alternate routes.

5. It’s a slow burn! I want to write at a fast pace, but the story keeps getting longer.

6. There are lots of love rivals later on. Skipping the earlier parts might make things confusing.

7. Some of the men will turn dark, so be warned!

Below is the blurb for a novel coming soon (One Piece, System, city-building, irresistible heroine, otome romance)

The Lord of the City’s Grand Line Romance RPG

I’m an utterly ordinary otome game player, and today I opened a new game.

Gorgeous art, lifelike characters, full pain feedback, and an incredible level of freedom. Five stars!

I start out as a Celestial Dragon, with a huge pile of gold and special privileges.

Two main quests pop up:

1. Raise the love meter of every SSR on the target list to 100%.

2. Build the greatest city in the New World.

I look at the list of potential love interests: Red-Haired Shanks, Marco the Phoenix, Dracule Mihawk, King the Conflagration, Kizaru, Aokiji, Beckman, Dragon, Issho… They’re all gorgeous and powerful! Wow, this game is such a treat for players!!

Seriously, this game gets me.

Collecting character entries, managing a city, and winning over handsome heartthrobs. That’s my perfect trio of pleasures!

As a player, I have only two principles: complete the entire collection and conquer every route.

Spend money to get Berries back, interact to earn exclusive parts, collect enough feathers to unlock the Phoenix, gather little swords to trade for Mihawk’s strike. I assemble the parts into a weapon rack and neatly arrange it in the lord’s manor.

I woo every SSR one by one, and the collection progress is a delight to behold.

The only problem is that the NPCs in the game seem a little too intelligent.

The NPCs I’ve marked as romance targets are looking at me in increasingly strange ways.

And it seems my weapon rack has caused trouble.

N people look at me at once. “Tell us, who do you really like?”

Without looking up, I reply, “I like all of you. Wouldn’t it be great if we were all friends who loved one another?”

They exchange glances and smile in a way that sends a chill down my spine.

Shanks puts down his glass. “Then let’s see whose things are still on your rack in the end.”

Me: ???

So this is the love-rival showdown caused by the weapon rack?!!!

Content warnings:

1. The heroine thinks like a player. Don’t take it as a reflection of real life.

2. The heroine is a villainous young Celestial Dragon lady with a chaotic-good outlook.

3. City management 4, romance 6.

4. The heroine has no combat ability, but she has an immortality bug.

5. Age is just a passing cloud. There are large age gaps, and older or younger love interests are both possible.

6. The ending is one-on-one, but the alternate routes have separate endings.

Final blurb, 2026.8.27. Screenshot saved for the joke.

Theme: Through repeated losses and reunions, love is the one thing that remains eternal and unchanged. Memories may be lost, but sincere feelings can still be sensed.
