Raising Kids with the Whitebeard Pirates

◎ Next up: the Omegaverse story "The Flame-Fist Lady Is a Cursed Spirit" Please note: Shanks pairing, a sweet, everyday story throughout. Preface to the blurb (you can skip straight to the story) After the God Valley Incident, Whitebeard chose to set sail again to fulfill the dream he'd had ever since first going to sea. The weather was beautiful on the day he set sail, with a clear blue sky. Just as he was about to board his raft, a barrel came drifting through the waves and washed up at his feet. He opened the pink-and-white blanket to find a baby in swaddling clothes, gazing back at him with big, round blue eyes and babbling. "Well, now, little one." He smiled and picked the baby up. "Want to become part of my family?" It must have been fate. The baby grinned and laughed at his words. And so, before setting sail, he gained his first family member. This was the beginning of a new life for Whitebeard and a girl named Daisy. ★☆★☆★ Star divider ★☆★☆★ 1. This is an unconventional child-rearing story, with Shanks as the pairing. I'm terrible at writing romance, and the main focus is on family and friendship. The romance develops after the characters reach adulthood. 2. Some characters' ages have been changed for this story, and one character's Devil Fruit has also been changed! 3. The entire Roger Pirates get a happy ending! Oden doesn't join the Whitebeard Pirates! Roger doesn't die! 4. Please read this as a parallel-world story. It's an everyday-life story throughout. 5. More detailed content warnings are pinned in the story's comments. Another completed One Piece story: "I Stole My Second Brother's Character Setup" Another upcoming One Piece story: "The Monkey Family Twins" Blurb: [Born under a lucky star + two-faced + energetic, straightforward Luffy girl] and [gentlemanly and kind + Sabo with outstanding strength and brains] In the distant East Blue, there was a family whose grandfather was a Marine, whose father was a revolutionary, and whose grandchildren were left behind at home. The family had three defining traits: immense strength, a friendly disposition, and a good temper. In plain terms: violent, scatterbrained, and shameless. These precious family genes were passed down across generations... Monkey D. Luffy, who climbed trees to steal eggs, went down to the village to tease the big goose and got chased by it, without a care in the world: Uhihihihi. Monkey D. Lufu, devoted to becoming a gentle lady but always cleaning up after Luffy's mischief: ... And yet, these family traits also led her and Luffy to meet the two most important people in their lives. After they drank their pact-making wine, one became her big brother, and the other became her lover. Theme: Family isn't defined by blood ties alone.
