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.

The Beast Within – The Bloodclaw (Volume 3)

The flight was only the beginning. Yulong has turned to ash, yet from the ash grow new shadows. The Dark King has changed his face—he now wears the features of a dead man, and those who look into his eyes do not see a stranger, but the neighbor from next door. His hunger is no longer his alone. His progeny roam the night, scenting life in the veins like ripe fruit, spreading like a curse across the land. Liyen follows a small flame. A tiny light in the darkness that neither flickers nor fails—the little Qi-Flame that dances through forgotten paths and leads her deeper, down into the earth where silence breathes and memories do not die, but wait. Down there, in the gullet beneath the world, the lost one is said to be. But what lurks in the depths is no prisoner—it is an exchange: A cage of flesh in which two breaths writhe—and only one may remain. Meanwhile, strangers open a door in the night. When this band of foreign adventurers appears in the darkness, the true journey has only begun. Instead of finding refuge, they find a blood-feast and smiles that almost reach the eyes. For sometimes the greatest danger is not the monster you fear, but the friend who smiles at you—whose teeth only show when the moon loses its blood. Now stands the choice: To speak the warning and be branded mad—or to remain silent and watch with living flesh as trust turns to slaughter. (Volume 3 of The Beast Within series – The Bloodclaw—a direct sequel to "Yulong") A story about how sometimes the monster does not lurk beneath the bed, but beneath the skin—and about what price it demands to wear a face that is not your own.
