Don't Make a Fuss, I'm Stealing Your Girl

[Anti-piracy ratio: 70%] [A reading guide is below. We recommend reading it before starting.]

[There may be one or two more bonus chapters. If they're not posted by Thursday (4.17), they'll be included with the later bonus chapters. The bonus chapters won't have a high anti-piracy ratio, probably around 70-80%. They can only be updated after the novel is finished and the final count is settled, so there'll be a wait. Leave suggestions in the comments if there's anything you'd like to read. I'll pick a few ideas at random to write, if inspiration strikes. I'm not sure how many I'll do. I'll update whenever I have time and feel like writing.] -- 4.14

Blurb:

I suddenly found myself on a small boat after a storm. Cold, starving, and penniless, I had two choices:

One: Jump into the sea and drown.

Two: Stay on the boat and wait to die.

Without a moment's hesitation, I jumped into the sea to escape, then ran into a guy wearing a straw hat. I hitched a ride on his ship and said, "Thank you! You're such a nice person!"

Red Hair: ??? What are you talking about?! I'm a pirate!

This world is so dangerous. I tremble in fear, eager to try everything. I pick a place to train in secret, then astonish everyone!

A few years later, a Pirate Hunter who kills without mercy appears in the East Blue.

I strike a confident pose with my hands on my hips. "That's right, it's me!"

Being at the top all alone gets lonely, so I decide to find some friends to join me. But they're all so amazing that other people have already snatched them up.

I frown and ponder. What should I do?

Then it hits me. I can just snatch them back!

From then on, a black-haired young woman appears at random all over the seas, whispering like a demon, "Could I have your friend?"

She ignores your protests, takes your friend away, and leaves you with one last, infuriating line: "Thank you! You're such a nice person!"

Extra! Extra!

Everyone across the seas! Keep a close eye on your friends, family, lovers, and children!

That demon wants everything!

[Reading guide]

1. The blurb is in first person; the main text is in third person.

2. Plot-to-romance ratio is about 7:3, possibly 8:2.

3. No everyone-loves-the-protagonist setup. One-on-one romance, paired with a certain redhead.

4. This is fanfiction, so there will be out-of-character moments. I'll do my best to keep everyone in character.

5. Comments on individual paragraphs are open to everyone. Feel free to share your thoughts kindly. If you don't like it, please be considerate.

Upcoming novel: "In the North Blue, I Fell for a Flamingo's Younger Brother"

I'm Baby 5's older sister. I don't know why my name is Mia while my sister's is Baby 5.

Doflamingo and I founded the Donquixote Family together. He took in kids as family, and I brought Baby 5 in too.

Huh? You want to know why it's called the "Donquixote Family"?

Because we felt like calling it that. Why does there have to be a reason?

Still, there's one thing I hate.

It'd be so much better if that guy who has a runny nose all the time weren't around.

"Doffy, family members need to meet certain standards."

Doflamingo: ...

One day, Doffy brought someone back and said he was his younger brother, who'd gone missing when they were kids.

Doffy trusted him a lot.

I went quiet. I realized he was a Marine spy! But I didn't tell Doffy.

What difference did it make if he was a spy? Once he joined the family, we weren't going to let him leave.

I sighed. "Doffy, family will always be family."

Doflamingo: ???

Upcoming novel: "My Fiancé Is Figarland Shamrock"

Alexia Joyce has recently become obsessed with a game called One Piece.

At the start of the game, Joyce randomly got the identity of a Celestial Dragon, along with a fiancé: Figarland Shamrock.

What's a fiancé? Just a decoration.

Even if he's reasonably good-looking, he's still just a pretty decoration.

This is a fighting game!

Romance can take a back seat.

She, Alexia Joyce, is a woman destined to become a god.

Joyce becomes hopelessly absorbed in the game, charging down the road to godhood, until she comes across a quest that requires a "marriage" relationship to complete.

Joyce goes to the fiancé she got from the start and sends him a marriage proposal.

He rejects her.

He's got a bit of a temper, doesn't he?

Didn't the System give her this fiancé so she could clear the game?

Her fiancé refuses to agree, so Joyce decides to do some other quests first.

Joyce finds another "fiancé."

She discovers that the System's "fiancé" only has a photo, with no name, so it doesn't necessarily have to be Shamrock.

Joyce sends Shanks a marriage proposal.

This time, it works.

The quest is completed.

She clears the game.

Then she transmigrates.

Joyce: Players have no true feelings.

Shanks: Pirates do.

Theme: Live freely.
