The Patron Emo {One piece X OC (Modern AU)}

Dain Arthur Wright is a man held together by routine, scars, and silence. Onboard an aging cargo ship that groans like it remembers every mistake it's ever made, Dain finds solace in the grind of machinery, the cold of pre-dawn, and the distance he keeps from everyone else. He's the first one up, the last to sleep, and the only one who seems to enjoy the danger that comes with every voyage.

But even out at sea, ghosts don't stay buried. Voices echo from the past. Old wounds resurface. And the crew starts noticing what Dain has tried so hard to bury beneath grease, smoke, and steel.

As a storm brews both outside and within, Dain is forced to reckon with a truth he's long ignored: You can't outrun the dead. And you can't fix a broken engine with missing parts-just like you can't fix a man without facing what broke him.

A gritty, slow-burn character drama set at sea, this is a story of survival, found family, and the heavy cost of keeping yourself alive for someone else.
