The pinnacle of pirates! Beginning as a trainee in Roger's crew

[Starts at Raftel] [Shanks and Buggy, Lifelong Rivals] [Black Gun, Red-Haired Clown King] [Observation Kill + Conqueror's Coating + Sea Stone Bullets] [No Powers Allowed] [The Ultimate Boxer Shorts]... Throughout the life of a pirate, Ozz’s achievements were too many to count. But if there was a true turning point in his destiny, it had to be that one moment from childhood, that bold, defiant cry— "Hey, kid. Why do you think you deserve a spot on our ship?" The man who hid the greatest treasure at the end of the seas—the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger—looked at the boy before him and asked with a grin. "Hahahahaha... Isn't it obvious? To turn the whole damn world upside down!" After that day, Roger realized with a jolt—he might’ve picked up another monster for a crewmate. Strength surpassing even the giants? Natural-born Observation Haki? And so, Ozz, who conned his way aboard with sheer wit and thick skin, began to reveal terrifying potential—Haki, marksmanship, swordsmanship, martial arts. All mastered at a freakish pace. Along the way, he also became the closest of comrades to Shanks and Buggy. NOTE: This fanfiction was originally crafted in Chinese by its rightful creator.
