[One Piece] Victims of the Mom System Alliance

Crocodile, who was searching for the ancient weapon Pluton and hoping to blast Whitebeard with it, unexpectedly found a strange stone tablet.

The writing on the tablet was obscure and hard to understand. He instinctively reached out to touch it, only for a strange thing claiming to be a Fatherly Love System to appear in his mind.

Crocodile: "What can you do?"

System: "I can find the child in a crowd who most needs the warmth of a father, then create the perfect plan to raise them according to their needs."

Crocodile be like: An ability that has nothing whatsoever to do with helping me get One Piece. Useless.

The System retorted, "I'm not a Conqueror System, but I can actually make that happen for you."

Crocodile: "?"

Following the System's directions, he went to the most peaceful and weakest sea. Along the way, the System kept yammering in his ear: "When you meet Luffy, use a little pain play when he's in danger. I mean, you're missing an arm anyway, so be cruel and give it up this time. Luffy will feel terribly guilty, and then he shouldn't refuse when you ask for One Piece."

Crocodile scoffed at the idea.

That is, until he saw Red-Haired Shanks, already famous across the seas, able to fight the Whitebeard Pirates head-on and get away unscathed, an apprentice on the Pirate King's ship, and hailed as the man most likely to change the balance of power on the seas in recent years. And then Shanks was about to have his dominant arm bitten off by a no-name Sea King.

Crocodile: "...?"

From that day on, he could never return to his old life.

[Reading Notes]

1. This is a self-indulgent story, nothing serious, with lots of memes. If you don't know much about One Piece, you probably won't understand half of it.

2. It's short. The author is just writing for fun.

3. Everyone says there's a Victim Alliance, so there'll definitely be more than one member, but I haven't decided who. Tell me if there's someone you'd like to see.

4. I'll add more if I think of anything.
