One Piece: Path to Power

Note: Don't even think about skipping this.

A few disclaimers and added information need to be addressed before diving in (at least skim through it):

Disclaimer 1: Rewrite.

This is a rewrite of a story with the same name, the original version can be found on my Discord alongside its relevant images.

.

Disclaimer 2: Canon Divergence.

As the actual story is ongoing and Oda is a master of twists and turns, naturally, there will be content that will not match the future plot. Though my perfectionism demands me to line it up, I know that in that case, I'll be waiting for like five more years before releasing this book. So this fic will be relatively accurate up to chapter 1090. Anything that does not line up can and should be considered AU.

.

Disclaimer 3: Selective Tags Explained.

# SYSTEM — Not the main focus of the story. It will be prevalent in early chapters, up to perhaps the first 10 chapters, and then be dialled down, not to the point of being obsolete but just not exceptionally pivotal. It can be considered a side bonus and has a creative twist to its link to the main character.

# ROMANCE / HAREM — Not the main focus but it will be present. The harem will be small and will not be Pokemon-style. Expect it to be built up over arcs and reasonable. 

 # TRAGEDY — Tragic start that may cause some desolation. Nothing overly dramatic but it may be painful to some. Outside of that, the tag will be less and less applicable.

Technically there is some fun gore like ripping heads out and crushing people into red mists but like, Big Mom literally stepped and flattened a dude into nonexistence in Wano, so take that as you want.

Final Rating: 16+.

.

Disclaimer 4: Images.

I am cross-publishing this on multiple sites, ScribbleHub, RoyalRoad, Fanfiction.net and AO3, hence it is very time-consuming to post images on each website. Thus I will post the relevant images onto Discord in a separate channel that covers each arc (WN will still get images into paragraphs).

.

Disclaimer 5: Woes of the Author.

I am pursuing a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering so expect delays which can be caused by any of the following: brain-dissolving coursework, despicable professors, obscene number of exams and all other tragedies that befall aspiring Engineers alongside less-than-ideal time management skills.

.

Disclaimer 6: Webnovelitis.

I have no intention of altering the plot to cater to any picky desires. Of course, I want people to enjoy my craft and feel free to drop your story ideas in Discord but do not feel obliged to announce your departure.

.

Disclaimer 7: Inflation.

All monetary values mentioned in this fanfic are adjusted for inflation to give readers a relatable sense of scale and impact. These adjustments are purely for narrative convenience and to align with the Straw Hats' canon timeline. In the actual world of the story, characters perceive and interact with the original, non-inflated values as they were in their time.

---------------------------

Note: The Discord server will have many auxiliary channels for more niche details such as bounties, Devil Fruits, arc summaries, skill information, Haki & Powerleveling, World Government structure and associated agencies and more: https://discord.gg/aJHHHPvb6q.

The actual mass release will drop in 1-2 hours. I released this early as I knew people would skip it and dive into the rewrite straight away.
