KHR x OP
So like,,,,,,
Imagine if the Arcobaleno (not Luce) were born into the world of One Piece.
Not reborn, just born.
Verde is born first. He is born to a mother who died in childbirth and a scientist for a father.
Now, the Arcobaleno are still going to keep these flames, and they're going to be born with it.
So imagine baby Verde being held in the limp arms of his dead mother and he bursts into green flames.
Now his father, like the scientist he is, is curious. And his father, well his father is not a moral person. So his father experiments on him and his powers, but also neglects him and doesn't take care of him, especially when it comes to other experiments.
So Verde is just there, alone.
Lal is born next. She's born the same year as Verde, to two marine parents. They love her, obviously, until they find out she's born with weird flames, which is obviously impossible seeing as she hasn't consumed a devil fruit. So they train her to be the perfect marine and blah blah blah.
They're strict and harsh on her because they're scared she'll go over to the dark side or whatever. She's alone, and she wants so desperately to have a companion.
Then Reborn is born (lol).
His name is Renato.
He's born to a high society noble family who abuses and mistreats him. They starve him and pretend like he's an angel impossible to not love in front of others. He hates them, so so much.
He just wants to murder them.
Colonello is born next. Like Lal, his parents are marines.
When they see him burst into blue flames, they frantically contact their friends, who has a daughter similar to their newborn son.
So starts the sibling relationship with Lal.
He and Lal grow up together and are trained to be marines together under their parents strict and harsh training. Their parents are relentless. Lal begins to see Colonello as a little brother.
Then Viper is born. They are left at an orphanage with too many kids. It's overcrowded.
The orphanage often accidentally neglects its children due to few staff members.
Soon, the orphanage is shut down and Viper is alone, roaming the sea they live in.
Fon is born, and he is born in a temple with monks who shouldn't even be monks. They don't give him a name, just call him boy, and rape him and do with him as they please.
It's disconcerting, and Fon (or at the time, the boy) wishes he could have a name and be free. He wishes he could live his life the way he wants to.
Fon is almost always wearing chains and cuffs because the monks don't trust him not to wreak havoc with his power.
Fon is tired.
Skull is born, and for some reason he should have died as a baby, but he's alive. He's engulfed in violet flames the moment he dies and his heart is beating and his pulse is running again.
The adults are scared, and sell him off to some laboratory where he will be experimented on for his flames and immortality. They never give him a name.
There, baby infant meets two-year-old Verde.
They are experimented on together, though most of the time it's the baby, thanks to his immortality. Verde begins to see Skull as a little brother, and tries to protect him as much as he can.
They spend as much time together as they can.
When Renato turns eight, he is done with his parents.
He kills them.
Then, he runs away, until he meets Viper, who's seven.
Lal and Colonello's parents are burned in an actual fire. Colonello cries, bit Lal does not. She hated their parents anyway, for everything they've done and how they acted towards her and her little brother. Like they were monsters. Like they were evil.
She and Colonello roam around, avoiding adults and populated areas.
When Viper turns eight and Renato nine, they meet Colonello, who's also nine, and Lal, who's ten. They hit off, promising each other that they'll sail the world together some day. They travel together, careful not to get caught by adults or pirates or whoever else, stowing away in merchants' boats and other various places.
When Viper hits the age of nine, Renato and Colonello ten, and Lal eleven, they meet a little boy, who's also nine. He's curled up on the forest floor, naked and shivering with questionable substances all over his body and especially around his thighs. They clean him up and cover him with blankets and such they've either bought or stolen.
They offer him to come with them, to live happily and freely, and to never have to go through such pain again. He agrees, and they travel with the boy, giving him the name Fon, after learning he had no name.
Meanwhile, Verde and his little brother escape from Verde's evil scientist dad, and run and hide away in fear he might once again find them.
When Viper and Fon turn ten, Renato and Colonello eleven, and Lal twelve, they bump into two boys. A kid who's also ten, and Verde, who's also twelve.
They realize they're all the same, and stick together. The kid is named Skull, since Verde never gave him a name, only calling him little brother.
Renato is given the nickname Reborn. Viper asks to be called Mammon.
They become pirates shortly after they meet Skull and Verde, calling themselves the Arcobaleno and sailing the seas. Their pirate flag has a skull with a rainbow colored pacifier surrounded by glowing lines of the rainbow, except where there's an orange, is instead an extra blue.
The pacifier symbolizes their youth, how young they started as pirates. But they're not scared.
They eventually sail the Grand Line.
They have many adventures.
Then one day they meet the Whitebeard Pirates.
They have a good time, and are eventually considered as honorary siblings. Fire Fist Portgas D. Ace gushes about his little brother to them.
During the start of cannon time, they're two years into their piracy, known worldwide as the seven strongest people in the world, and Skull, their youngest, has just turned twelve.
They hear about a seventeen year old pirate with a straw hat causing havoc upon the marines. It reminds them of the little brother Fire Fist always bragged about.
So they keep an eye on him. One thing they do know about him for sure is that he's clingy and possessive. And he gets into a lot of fights.
On to powers/abilities and strength.
Verde is strong. Obviously. But not just with his flames. He's physically strong too, like he cal punch a hole through a tree and it'd fall down and knock down other trees. He can punch a crater through the ground. He can do just about anything with his flames, including what he could do in the KHR universe and other things. So he can create shields and barriers and walls and domes of lightning to protect himself and/or other people. He can also create animals or beasts out of lightning, if he uses enough of it. He can also redirect lightning and cover a whole area/island in lightning (which like, he's only fourteen wtf) and he can literally summon lightning from the clouds like he can control the weather.
Lal and Colonello can calm others with their flames and use it to sedate people. Since their flames are blue (though more of a light blue?) people easily mistake it for normal blue flames (which are really super hot, even hotter than normal colored flames), so they get scared easily. They are still snipers, carrying a sniper rifle on her back and armed with more guns on their person. They can aim and fire from incredible distances and sometimes even fire without looking. Also, their flames can even do many things like kill/incapacitate people just by putting them under permanent sleep and calming their heart so much it just stops. Unlike the name of their flames, they can't control rain though.
Reborn's flames have the same property and abilities as they do in the original KHR universe- everyone's does. But of course, I add more things to it! Everyone in the Arcobaleno know at least basic first aid and how to stitch their wounds or pull out bullets. Since Reborn's flames have healing properties, he was suggested to learn how to use those healing properties. So he goes and learns. He's still not exactly great at it, the most he can do is heal infection and small wounds/cuts/scrapes at best, maybe cure a few illnesses, but he's trying. He mostly uses his flames to hurt people. He always has his guns on him (of course) and a lot of other weapons just in case (you never know when you might need them!) so he's always prepared.
Viper/Mammon is basically the same, but they can also cloak themselves or the others into a shimmering illusion of invisibility that makes it seem as if they're not there at all. Since Mists can create solid illusions, I'd like to think that Viper/Mammon can make the ship itself an illusion and turn it (and the others and objects/things on it) intangible, not just invisible. It doesn't exactly make sense, but I'd like to think they can do that. They're not very strong physically, and more often than not need protection when someone gets too close, but the others have been training them to dodge and giving them basic self defense lessons. I don't really have many other ideas for them, though, strength and ability wise.
Fon can still disintegrate his enemies with his flames, but he doesn't need to touch something. Usually, they need hand to hand contact to be able to disintegrate something, but Fon can choose to just disintegrate something by choice without even touching it or looking at it. He can make a whole area go up in red flames and disintegrate it all and he'd be unaffected and not even be there. Like, how cool is that? He's still a martial artist and he's very strong. Like Verde, he can punch holes and craters through things, that's how strong he is. He can also get rid of infection by spreading his flames over the wound and command them to disintegrate the harmed/harming cells. It doesn't exactly make sense, but then again, what does?
Skull, like Verde and Fon, is very strong physically. Of course, he's still the weakest of the Arcobaleno, but that doesn't mean he's to be trifled with. He's still part of the strongest seven for a reason. Skull's flames allow him to propagate anything, increase/decrease the size/amount of anything. So why not the same for his body? Skull can increase the size of his body until he's basically and enormous giant and crush things under his feet or decrease the size until he's like an ant and spy on people or gather information that way. He can also propagate the cells of a person's body, so he can just casually increase the amount until their skin is peeling off or sagging, or their body explodes because it can't hold in all the body just increasing and bubbling inside it, so they're a blood splatter on the ground. He can even turn them tiny and squish them with his foot or fingers or something that way. And since his flames make him immortal, why can't he do the same?
I mean, Skull's flames act on the fact that they can regrow his cells and limbs and heal his broken bones or the cracked neck or anything, so why can't Skull do the same? When people die, if Skull chooses, he can just regrow the cells and limbs and organs in their body. Of course, that doesn't instantly revive them like it does for him, that just leaves them a shell looking like they're just sleeping. So Verde, well his lightning is like a shock defibrillator, right? He sends shock signals to their brain and heart. Of course, since the wounds might have infection or other, they have Reborn and Fon heal the infection before Skull uses his flames to heal the body itself. Reborn also heals the small wounds/cuts/scrapes so Skull doesn't have to, because he uses his flames more than the others, which tires him out. So when Verde finishes, the heart starts beating and jumps, and the person can actually wake up and know that they're alive! Of course, this is scientifically correct (at least I'm pretty sure it's not) so yeah, but this is how it is for this idea. Of course, they don't bring people back to life all the time since it's tiring and they don't wanna do that.
Since Verde is a scientist, I'd like to think he also knows the most information medically, too. So he's the medic. Since Skull has a huge heart, I like to think he'd learn medical skills to help his crew too, and because of his flame properties. So they're the medics. When they're not there, the others usually go to Reborn since he can at least heal small wounds. For the serious/severe injuries, though, they definitely go to Verde and Skull. Also, Reborn is definitely captain. For first mate, although he met Viper first, the both of them weren't actively seeking to become pirates at the time. They only became pirates after they met Skull and Verde, and even then it took a while. So while he met Viper first, since they weren't trying to become pirates at the time, Viper is not the first mate. If I had to choose, it would be Lal, because she's responsible and coordinated. She's also their navigator.
Also, did I mention they still have their pets? Yeah, so they meet their pets and like them so much they keep them. Verde likes Keiman as a trusty companion and friend. Lal and Colonello share Falco, and use him as a messenger at times. Reborn adores Leon and loves the fact that he can shape shift and so he loves it when Leon changes into a gun for him. Viper/Mammon loves Fantasma and adores the fact that he/she/they/it (?) can change forms. Viper/Mammon loves flying with Fantasma. Fon thinks Lichi is cute and absolutely adorable. He loves training and drinking tea with Lichi. Skull loves Oodako. He loves it when he uses his powers to make her grow and he can just sit on her head while she swims next to the ship. Also, because they were born with their flames and never ate a devil fruit, they don't have a weakness to the sea like DF users do. Sea stone doesn't work on them either. Also, the animals are not to be underestimated, because if you hurt their masters YoU'rE iN fOr A wOrLd Of HeLl.
Since they're the strongest people in the world, they obviously gain monikers. I'm bad when it comes to making up names, but this is what I thought of:
Verde is Electric Verde (not very good, but since when have any of the names I made up been good?), obviously because of the flames.
Lal is Sharp Eye Lal, for her marksmanship.
Reborn is Hitman Reborn (because I'm definitely not letting that go).
Colonello is Falcon Eye Colonello (because I really couldn't think of anything better), also due to his marksmanship.
Viper is Info-Broker Mammon, because they really don't stop giving out information for money.
Fon is Storm Dragon Fon (because I did not have anything else and that was the best I could come up with).
Skull is Immortal Skull (for obvious reasons).
Of course, since they're the strongest people in the world, they'd be recognized easily, so when they want to go out and do something? They disguise themselves. Lal wears a wig and changes out of her cloak/cap/whatever and other assortments (including her visor) and instead wear a crop top and shorts with some random shoes. Viper changes out of their hooded cloak and instead wears a hat they hide their hair in and a loose button up shirt and pants. Reborn flattens his hair down instead of the usual gelled hairstyle and hides his curly side burns, and instead of a suit/tux, he wears a crisp yellow button up shirt with short sleeves and beige shorts that reach just above his knees. He doesn't wear a tie, bowtie, or even his fedora (although he wishes he could). Colonello wears a cap and changes out of his green camo jacket, white t-shirt, and baggy green pants. He doesn't wear his signature headband, either. He wears a forest green t-shirt with blue shorts and a short sleeves black jacket. Verde wears a turtle neck shirt and pants and takes off his lab coat. He wears a wig, too, because he fears green might be too noticeable. Fon unties his braid and makes it a bun instead, and wears girly clothes. With his long hair and the feminine clothing, people will thinks he's a girl, and that makes it easier to hide himself. Skull wipes off his makeup, covers up his teardrop tattoo, and takes off the white strips on his cheeks (what even are those?). He puts on a wig and changes out of his outfit into a shirt and shorts.
They go by different names so it's even harder to get recognized. Lal goes by Lavender. Mammon and Reborn go by their given names, Viper and Renato. Colonello goes by Ciro. Verde goes by Luca. Fon goes by Fai. Skull goes by Agosto.
When news of Fire First Portgas D. Ace's execution arrives at their location (Water 7? Sabaody? Alabasta? Drum Kingdom? Somewhere?) that's when The Whitebeard Pirates contact them. As allies and honorary siblings, of course they agree to help. They warn that it might take a while for them to get there, though. Whitebeard accepts that, and they plan.
Eventually, on the day of Ace's execution, they arrive to see one of two scenarios (I can't decide which):
Akainu is about to kill Ace, who's protecting Luffy, and the Rains are already in position and aiming at him and other marines. Reborn aims his gun, and Verde creates a shield just as Viper/Mammon creates vines to stop his arm and Skull catches his fist. Cue epic showdown and rescue. Ace and Whitebeard don't die. Nor do any of the other pirates and helpers. Well, actually, nevermind, Whitebeard dies before Ace does. Hmmmmmmmmm...
The other scenario:
The Arcobaleno are too late and Ace dies. They tell the others to gather all the dead and injured and bring them to one area. Once that's done, Reborn, Fon, Skull, and Verde kneel down. The Rains and Viper keep watch. They order the other pirates to do the same. They start with the injured but alive first. Fon and Reborn get rid of infection as Skull and Verde patch up as much as they can. Reborn heals all the small wounds. Once they're done with the injured, they move on to the dead. Fon and Reborn get rid of infection. Once all infection is gone from every corpse, Fon gets up and stands guard with the others as they fight and keep marines away. Verde creates a protective done around them as Reborn heals the small wounds before leaving and fighting too. Then Skull regrows all the cells and limbs and organs. It's much harder for him to regrow them all for Ace, since there's such a huge hole in his torso and many of his organs disintegrated on the spot, but he manages, and once he's done with the corpses, he stands back as Verde goes to each one and changes them with a hard enough shock to jump-start their hearts again. He keeps going until he's made sure all of them are alive once again, and stops. Well, either he goes to each one or he just rains lighting shocks down on them simultaneously. Once he's made sure they're all alive, he keeps them inside the protective done so they are not disturbed by marines while they are resting and trying to wake up. (Reborn and Skull will never admit it, but it was especially difficult to revive Whitebeard due to his illness, but hey! They cured the illness!) Trafalgar Law comes and heals Monkey D. Luffy, because the Arcobaleno had tried to get to him, but the doctor did before they could, mostly because he took Luffy away before they arrived.
They're thanked profusely. The marines up their bounty because holy shit the Arcobaleno can bring people back to life. Also, did I mention the Arcobaleno's bounties are close in number? Because despite Reborn being the captain and Lal the first mate, no one can decide who is stronger. They're all too strong.
Thus timeskip.
Viper, Fon, and Skull are now fourteen. Reborn and Colonello are now fifteen. Lal and Verde are sixteen.
They continue to keep an eye on Monkey D. Luffy and the StrawHats. They stay in contact with the Whitebeard Pirates. They are also now in contact with Red Haired Shanks and his crew.
After that, my ideas die down, but there's already a lot in this one thing :0
