Brothers In Arms (One Piece x Male Reader)

Chapter 2: Reverse Mountain: The Journey's Starting Line

After the Straw Hat Crew set sail towards the Grand Line and out of the storm, they soon have a little side adventure where they meet what are so called "Millennial Dragons" The adventure is also when everyone, except for Luffy, gets to know about their new Nakama, Roger D. Y/N. Usopp seems to be quite knowledgeable about him as he has told the other crew members of his exploits, like killing thousands of marines with a crazy grin on his face, or standing face to face against one of the Admirals though Y/N would rather not say who he faced off against.

Other than their little adventure, they soon go back on track towards the Grand Line. Currently, everyone is gathered into the mess hall, with Nami setting down a map that showcases the Grand Line along with the four Blues, divided by the Grand Line and the Red Line.

"I'd hear the rumors about it, and it's drawn on this map, too! If it really is true, then the entrance to the Grand Line is a mountain!" Nami tells the crew as she points to the mountain in the middle of the Grand Line, and Y/N walks over to the table and leans forward, inspecting the well drawn map.

"The Grand Line's entrance is definitely a mountain, but I won't spoil the details on how to get past, that'll just ruin the fun and my assessment of you all." Y/N teasingly says before he straightens his posture and crosses his arms.

"Hey, Y/N, that's not fair! Tell us how to get to the Grand Line!" Luffy complains, to his older brother, who chuckles and shakes his head.

"If I tell you everything you need to know, then how can you all improve yourselves, especially Miss Navigator here. If I keep telling her how to do what, do you think she'd be able to map the entire world?" Y/N asks him, causing everyone to look to their new crew member due to the good point he has given. "No worries though, I'll still fight alongside you all." He reassures them, making them sigh in relief before they go back to planning on how to get to the Grand Line.

"So, the entrance to the Grand Line is a mountain, does that mean we have to crash into it?" Zoro asks, putting the conversation back on track while Usopp is somehow struggling with the rudder of the Going Merry.

"You can't be serious." Sanji comments on Zoro's ridiculous idea, and Y/N just silently chuckles, as that is not the true way to get to the Grand Line.

"I didn't believe it myself, but the map has canals that lead to the mountain. That might mean we have to go up it." Nami speculates, turning to Y/N to see if she's correct, as he gives her a subtle smile, one that almost seems like she's definitely on the right track, causing her to nods back to him before looking back to the map.

"Ho hooo! Neat!" Luffy says with enthusiasm that is not truly shared by the rest of his crew.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zoro asks in utter disbelief and doubt at that statement. "Even if they're canals or whatever, a ship can't climb a mountain!" He says, unconvinced at the map's details and Nami's word.

"But that's what the map says." Nami says, trusting the map entirely since she is the Navigator of the crew, and soon after Sanji, the lover of all women that he is, instantly starts to agree with her.

"Yeah! Nami-san would never say anything wrong!" Sanji says angrily, but Zoro is still unconvinced, not wanting to take the word of a curly-browed simp.

"You stole that map from Buggy, right? Can we really trust it?" The three-style swordsman asks, one hand under his chin as Y/N looks to Usopp, seeing him struggle with the bar that is used to control the rudder of the Going Merry, causing the son of the Pirate King to sigh.

"C-Can someone help me!? The rudder won't move an inch!" Usopp shouts out as he tries his best to make the rudder budge, even just a little, but to no avail. With this, Y/N walks over and places his hand on top of the ram head of the rudder control, nodding to the Sniper of the crew.
