(First and foremost, let me state that, no, this does *NOT* contain any spoilers about One Piece besides the name. In fact, only 2 One Piece figures are mentioned in this mythology. I myself detest manga spoilers; I wouldn't do anyone dirty like that. Now for the reason why I made this and what it's about: ) I heard that Joyboy is an actual legend from South American/Jamaican mythology that inspired Oda (the author of One Piece), along with Tom and Jerry and other sources. A warrior who was a champion of the slaves, as he set them free and blessed them with freedom. I wanted to see what the original Joyboy was like in our Earth's mythological history of him. However, try as I might, I could not find any stories that mentioned a Joyboy or Nika or a warrior of liberation. I'm not sure how Oda came across the legend/mythology, but I am forever beyond grateful that he did. But grateful as I am, that left me slightly unsatisfied. So, I decided to write Joyboy as a mythology story myself, like the ones from Greece, Egypt, Norse, Hawaiian, African, etc., that we read in class. My language may need some work, but this is how I believe Joyboy's mythology would be told if he had the same recognition as Percious, Horus, Thor, Anansi, Moui, etc. It is my deepest wish and hope that either lots of people who never watched/read One Piece enjoy this and remain spoiler-free, One Piece fans get a kick out of this, and potentially that Oda himself will take/find amusement in this attempt at literally writing history.

Seventeen years before current events of the story of Eiichiro Oda's "One Piece": The Pretty Pink Pirates are a fairly notorious group of pirates. Sometime after crossing the Red Line, they arrive on the island of Los Reva and encounter the ruler of the island Tiger Wells, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Wells ruled over the island as a tyrant, trapping the whole place inside a bird cage thanks to his Bar-Bar Fruit powers that allow him to freely create and manipulate steel beams. After narrowly scraping out a victory, the Pretty Pink Pirates' infamy grows as the injustices of Tiger Wells become known, leading to his arrest. As the pirates' bounties increase, a vacancy forms within the ranks of the Seven Warlords... DISCLAIMER: This was written as supplementary material for my DM and other players of a One Piece D&D campaign that I've played in for sometime, so if any characters seem underdeveloped (namely the Pretty Pink Pirates) it's because this was originally meant for the group that has knowledge from the campaign itself. Also forgive me if any bounty numbers seem very out of proportion, I wasn't caught up to One Piece when I started writing this, I was actually in Thriller Bark at the time. I'm not particularly proud of the first arc (Chapters 1-14) but I decided to include it anyway out of respect for the whole project, my D&D group thinks it gets significantly better after that point and I have to agree with them, so I hope you like it!
