Why Is Raising the Pirate King So Hard!

The upcoming companion story: What’s It Like to Play Law and Rouge on the Grand Line? Blurb:

Kelly is the daughter of the Pirate King. She’s beautiful, strong, and rich!

The whole sea is willing to give her a little respect.

From pirates to the Navy to the Holy Knights, she has connections everywhere.

Her life is destined to be smooth sailing, bright and glorious, with no setbacks,

until she falls in love with a man at first sight and decides to elope with him!

“We’re going to join the revolution, not elope,” Dragon corrected her helplessly.

“Call it whatever you like, darling. You’re not getting rid of me!”

After they ran off together, everything started going well.

Their relationship was strong, they had a son, and the revolutionary cause was flourishing.

There was just one serious problem: Their elders on both sides kept trying to break them up!

That’s right, their families were sworn enemies, the kind whose fathers had fought each other their entire lives.

They all said, “An enemy is an enemy. There’s no way an enemy can become your wife!”

Notes:

1. A companion story to Raising a Pirate King Is So Hard.

2. A sweet alternate-universe story, with Dragon as the sole male lead. The heroine is Luffy’s biological mother.

3. Roger didn’t die in this setting. He retired and got married, and Ace has both parents and a sister.

4. The start date is undecided. It depends on how Raising a Pirate King is coming along~

Blurb for this story:

As the daughter of the Pirate King, Roger, Kelly has always worked hard to raise the next Pirate King.

At first, she pushed her childhood sweetheart to improve himself.

Later, she realized that even the Child of Destiny could be mistaken for someone else!

Just as her plan to raise a Pirate King was about to fail,

her son popped out wearing her father’s straw hat and shouted, “I’m going to be the man who becomes the Pirate King!”

Kelly suddenly understood and decided that from today on, she would start pushing her son to improve!

She’s putting it out there: No one can stop her from raising the Pirate King!!!

Huh? Something doesn’t seem quite right!

“Hold it. What did you just call me?”

“The Pirate King, of course, Your Majesty, ruler of all the seas!”

“Why?”

“Not because of your bloodline, and you don’t need the One Piece. Your strength is the only reason you deserve to rule!”

Blurb from Luffy’s perspective:

Luffy knows he has a grandpa.

He also knows that Grandpa’s punches hurt a lot!

Luffy knows he has a mommy.

Mommy is kind and very busy, so she rarely comes to see him.

Luffy doesn’t know that he has a dad.

Later, he discovers that he might have a few too many “dads”!

At last, Luffy is about to become the Pirate King.

He and his crewmates stand before the final boss.

When he sees the person opposite him, Luffy is astonished!

“Mommy, what are you doing here?”

Luffy thinks happily that the world really is round!

You just have to go around it once, and you can come straight home to find your mom!

Everyone says the Pirate King is an exceptionally generous person.

And it’s true. She is always willing to give people what they desire most:

She gives Dragon support for the revolution, along with hope for success;

She promises eternal freedom to Shanks, who is searching for the meaning of his own existence;

She gives absolute trust to Bar|t|e, who has no sense of security;

Even Fleet Admiral Sakazuki gets a sturdy new collar from her, despite their past grievances!

But good intentions don’t always earn you gratitude...

The Pirate King sits high upon her throne, looking down at the men below, each with a different expression, and demands:

“Why did you secretly beat up my son while I was away?”

The men: “...To toughen him up until he’s worthy of the crown.”

That explanation is not good enough. The Pirate King leaps to her feet and cries angrily:

“Then why did you make him call you Dad while you were beating him up?”

Notes:

1. A classic power-up story, with thrilling fights and an insanely overpowered heroine! There are too many farming stories on the Grand Line, so here’s one about conquering the world through sheer force.

2. The heroine is a huge daddy’s girl. She starts out as a sweet girl, but after her father dies, she becomes an absolute tyrant who believes only in herself and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals!

3. She flirts with men everywhere (see the supporting character list). In the main story she enjoys them without taking responsibility. There’ll be a rivalry-filled harem situation. I’ll see how things go with the bonus chapters, but they’ll most likely have separate endings.

4. Slow burn! The first part focuses on conquest, and the later part on raising a child and stirring up revolution, while pursuing both her ambitions and men. The heroine’s ultimate goal is to overthrow Imu and take the highest throne for herself!

She will abolish the backward system of slavery, but there will be no equal rights or social revolution. This is a world of powerful fighters, where human-shaped nuclear weapons exist, so equal rights would be wildly impractical. Instead, she will establish an absolute monarchy. Please don’t read if that bothers you.

5. The heroine is Luffy’s biological mother, using the formula [Anyone + Dragon = Luffy]. Don’t read if you can’t accept that!!!

(Luffy is born at the end of Volume Two.)

6. The author has a thing for older men. Most of the male love interests will be considerably older than the protagonist, so please don’t read if that bothers you!

(The romance will happen when the protagonist is an adult, has mature values, and is fully capable of making her own decisions. The heroine will also take the initiative throughout. So whether you call it an older woman preying on a younger man or a younger man aggressively pursuing an older woman is a matter of perspective.)

7. The heroine has her own pirate crew, made up of canon characters and original characters. The original characters will have varying connections to canon characters.

8. I’m a compulsive editor who revises and fixes typos from time to time. I’m also a very particular One Piece fan who follows every update. If new information comes out in the manga, I may revise earlier chapters accordingly!

9. I’m very sensitive, so please don’t be mean! o(╥﹏╥)o
