Ocean's Misfortunes and Gifts

Summary:

A Shanks x reader story. I do not own One Piece, though, there are some OCs in here for the story's sake.

(Reader) had stowed away on a fishing boat that ended up being attacked by pirates. Unable to escape they end up in the ocean and saved by a different pirate crew (not the Red Hair Pirates) and ended up joining them. Through unfortunate events they end up on the Red Force and have to figure out their new life for a second time and their feelings for the captain.

This has been posted both on my Tumbler (thesimpthatneverstopssimping) and my Wattpad (RainNightSkys) so if you want to read this there as well, feel welcome to.

(This is also my first time writing on Ao3 so it will take me a while to get use to writing on here)

Notes:

The first few chapters wont have much to do with Shanks. I promise it is important to the story later.
If you don't recognize a character then they are probably made up by me. AKA the entity of the crew "reader" joined in the beginning. The entire crew I actually started making notes on and doodles lol.

Chapter Text

Warnings, information, and stuff:

Hey. I just wanted you to know a few things before you start reading.

This is a Shanks x reader fanfiction (obviously) but the thing is the first couple of chapters wont even mention Shanks.

Some of these characters are OCs. The entire crew that (y/n) joins for a while is entirely my creation. They are not canon in One Piece.

A bit of (y/n)'s personally is based off my own since this story was originally just something in my head I would imagine for Shanks x me. Like I would go put on music and imagine basically this storyline to the music.

This is post Shanks saving Luffy so this Shanks will only have one arm. If i mess this up and give him two hands at any point other than potential flashbacks, then please point it out and call me an idiot.

There will be violence, fighting, death... they're pirates so... yeah.

If you are okay with all of that then i hope you have fun reading!
