Did Merry Rejoin the Straw Hats?

After the Going Merry was burned, she was reincarnated as a baby octopus. With a new body, she could finally keep searching for the great treasure with everyone! Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Chopper, Robin... Adorable Merry is here! Huh? Wait! That straw-hat-wearing guy isn't Luffy!!! Who is this young pirate with striking red hair...? * This time, no one will be left behind! The Island of Music is still filled with song, and neither Rosinante nor Bellemere has died... At the Summit War, we'll save Ace and the Whitebeard crew too! * East Blue Voyage Arc (met so far) ∮Little Luffy, who doesn't know the meaning of manners: "Pirates, get out of here!" After they get to know each other, rolling around on the ground: "Let me on the ship! Let me on the ship! Let me on the ship!" ∮The sunny, strong-willed little tangerine: "How are we supposed to afford raising two kids?" ∮The long-nosed boy who's still not much of a marksman: "Can I become a pirate with my dad?" ∮The tiny moss-head: "Are you a swordsman? Come fight me!" ∮The sweet little chef: "Welcome, beautiful lady, to the Baratie floating restaurant." * *This story has been revised and now differs greatly from pirated versions. Thank you for supporting the official release!* Reading Guide: 1. Ship spirits have no gender, but the little octopus Merry reincarnates as is female. 2. The early story takes its time. It's a daily-life, coming-of-age adventure. The little octopus is rather weak at first, but will gradually grow stronger, and will have a second and third form. 3. This is a story about making up for regrets! I've worked hard to research all kinds of material and avoid writing the original characters out of character, but some tragic plot developments will be changed. The timeline has also been adjusted a little to accommodate later events. 4. Merry will join Shanks' ship first. She'll meet Luffy and the others quite a bit later. 5. The protagonist has no love interest, but there will occasionally be romantic interactions between side characters, such as Rayleigh, Shakky, Bellemere, and Shanks. 6. *Please add it to your collection! Thanks for the support!* * * * *My other story, The Book of Friends with Companions from the Grand Line and Jujutsu High, is currently updating rapidly!* Reiko Natsume transmigrates into the worlds of One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen! Her powerful spiritual energy still exists in these worlds. Whether you're Pirate King Roger, Dark King Rayleigh, Four Emperors Kaido, Red-Haired Shanks, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Aokiji, Vice Admiral Garp, Revolutionary Dragon... or the strongest duo in the jujutsu world, or an evil sorcerer who's lived for a thousand years, once your name is written in the Book of Friends, you've entered into a master-servant contract that cannot be defied. "Human? I'm just an ordinary human, really. I'm just a little stronger than most." "A yokai? Hey, kid, that's rude! I just ate a Devil Fruit. This is my Azure Dragon form!" "Hahaha, what's a yokai? This isn't sorcery, it's a Devil Fruit power." A Certain Technical College Gojo pulled off his blindfold. A flash of Paraiba-gem light crossed his eyes. "There's something strange about this woman!" Geto narrowed his eyes. "However you look at her, she seems like an ordinary high school student." "That's exactly what makes her strange!" "Hmm... Looking closely, she's not ordinary at all. She's strong... and delicious." "Huh? Delicious?" The cat was shocked. Geto gave a satisfied smile. Yes, she tasted completely different from those other disgusting cursed spirits. Reiko met more and more friends, and once again collected a thick Book of Friends. The names of many people and creatures who had helped Reiko, liked her, or tried to attack her were recorded in it. Reading Guide *Crossover between manga worlds. For now, One Piece first, then Jujutsu Kaisen. (Naruto didn't seem like a good fit, so I removed it for now.)* *Everyone has one-sided feelings for the female lead. There'll be familial love, friendship, and romance. She leaves a trail of hearts everywhere she goes.* *All-route romance warning! I'll try to keep everyone in character, but I feel like it's easy to write them out of character! Apologies in advance.* *The story focuses on everyday life, with no particular career plot. Reiko will keep getting stronger, and the romance will take center stage in the middle and later parts.* *There'll be a little more romance (or a lot more) than in the Merry story.* *Please take a moment to add it to your collection, and feel free to leave a comment and chat.
