Third-person narration, exclusive pairings in different arcs, with multiple people harboring feelings for the protagonist overall.
The protagonist is morally neutral and evil, with a free-spirited pirate outlook and an independent faction alignment.
She'll join various crews, but not the Straw Hats. The timeline is moved forward.
Original character backstories, heavily altered original plot, and changed character ages.
Contains depictions of blood and characters being injured or seriously hurt, as well as villains doing villainous things. Please take note.
Note: Reworked this September. Updates are free and irregular. I have eclectic tastes, so feel free to point out mistakes. If a chapter gets locked, I'm just making minor edits. I usually go back and revise the latest chapter, and I'll thoroughly revise the volumes once they're complete. The opening may also change, so feel free to start at chapter four.
Blurb:
Chosen by the Alchemy System and carrying her mother's legacy, Noah sets sail, determined to unravel the secrets about the future in her diary.
After weathering countless storms, she finds companions in the most unlikely places, and they always confess their feelings despite their affection meters being less than half full. Noah understands. That's just how pirates love: free and easy.
Rather than seriously pursuing romance, she prefers to keep searching diligently for her mother while looking for true love along the way. Then the System finally unlocks all its functions and tells her that the affection scores she'd been seeing were actually her own feelings toward other people.
Noah suddenly understands. No wonder sacrificing love didn't get her as much in return as other offerings. Things you don't care about aren't worth much, and alchemy never lies! System, take a look at what else I can trade in. I'm betting everything! I want to see the ending with a smile!
