Others Sail the Seas, I Farm

[Warning: Don't Starve + One Piece. Not faithful to canon, with lots of game-related headcanons. The protagonist is a player, and this is a Fourth Disaster story. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy it.]

[A separate Whole Cake Island what-if story is now available]

I’m Wendy, a Don’t Starve player, and I’ve arrived in this new world with the Don’t Starve game System.

To make sure I stay alive, I’ve been working hard to clear land and grow crops. But I’m not very efficient on my own, so I started looking for companions.

My first companion was a decent guy and very hardworking, but one day, in the middle of a conversation, he suddenly started talking like, “Are the kings and nobles born to rule?” Then he went to sea to liberate the entire world.

My second companion didn’t have those kinds of ideals, and he had a base of his own, but his temper was terrible and his personality twisted. He got furious when I sided with his younger brother and tried to kill me. Good thing I can revive.

My third companion had a pretty good temper, but his ability was ice, literally. He was so cold that staying near him too long made people lose health, so I had to part ways with him in tears...

After going through several batches of companions and dying a bunch of times, I finally made it to my current home and found the little companion who was meant for me.

I was moved to tears. At last, I’d found someone who wasn’t always thinking about going out to sea, and who could just settle down and farm with me! This is my home! This is my one true companion! No one can separate us!

When Mihawk first discovered the blond girl on the island he had chosen to settle on, he assumed she was a surviving member of the local royal family and a Devil Fruit user.

She couldn’t get rained on, she said, or her sanity would drop. She was very careful about the temperature, saying that extreme heat or cold would make her lose health.

She looked incredibly frail, but she dared to sail out alone on a raft and even managed to make it back alive several days later... She also stayed up late at night, planting crops by lamplight, with some ghostlike thing following her around that she claimed was her older sister.

Mihawk ignored her until she insisted on going to sea with him. That was when he realized she knew an absurd number of people, was caught up in an absurd number of troublesome affairs, and that every one of them wanted him to hand her over.

Wendy (clinging to him for dear life, screaming herself hoarse): “I’m not leaving! I’m spending the rest of my life with him! Nobody is tearing us apart!”

Mihawk: “...”

When did this happen? How come he didn’t know?
