Seven Crews – Season 1, Episode 1: A New Beginning
On a small island in the Grand Seas, a young boy named Ace D. Ryker dreams of becoming the Pirate King. From the moment he could walk, he was fascinated by pirates, adventure, and the open sea. His father, a powerful pirate captain, had left him a mysterious fruit before disappearing—a Devil Fruit unlike any other. Without knowing its true power, Ace ate it. His body felt strange, and before he realized it, his limbs stretched like rubber. He had eaten the Gomu Gomu no Mi, granting him a body of pure elasticity.
After consuming the fruit, Ace’s grandfather, an old retired marine named Garlo D. Cain, took it upon himself to train the boy. He believed that only through brutal training could Ace survive the harsh world of pirates. Garlo was a master of Haki, possessing both Armament Haki (allowing him to harden his body like steel) and Observation Haki (giving him the ability to sense attacks before they happened). He pushed Ace beyond his limits every day, forcing him to dodge cannonballs, fight wild beasts, and train his reflexes until he could react instantly. Under Garlo’s guidance, Ace learned how to use Haki with his Devil Fruit powers, making his attacks even more devastating.
But Ace wasn’t raised only by his grandfather. His adoptive mother, a fierce warrior named Reina, was once a notorious pirate before settling on the island. She had the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, allowing her to control and create fire at will. Though she didn’t have Haki, her fire-based abilities were unmatched, and she taught Ace how to fight using creativity. “Your rubber body makes you unique,” she told him. “If you train hard enough, you’ll be able to make your own techniques—attacks no one has ever seen before.”
Throughout his childhood, Ace had one close friend, a boy named Zane. Though not related by blood, the two grew up as brothers and trained together. Zane was strong but had no Devil Fruit powers—instead, he had an incredible natural talent for swordsmanship. He wielded twin blades and could cut through almost anything. The two often sparred, arguing over who was stronger, though Ace always dreamed bigger.
On his 16th birthday, Ace made his decision—he would set sail and become a pirate. Standing on the shore with nothing but a small boat, he grinned at his adoptive mother and grandfather. “One day, I’ll find my own crew. Seven legendary pirates who will help me conquer the Grand Seas. I’ll be Pirate King!” he declared.
As the sun set, Ace left the island, sailing toward the unknown. His adventure had just begun.
To be continued…
Seven Crews – Season 1, Episode 2: The Cursed Blade’s Arrival
After setting sail from his island, Ace D. Ryker traveled the vast sea, filled with excitement and determination. He had one goal—to form a legendary crew and become Pirate King. Days passed, and his food supply started to run low. Then, on the horizon, he spotted an island.
As Ace arrived at the island’s shore, he quickly realized something was wrong. The once-bustling village was silent—windows were shattered, and the air was filled with the scent of burning wood. A group of pirates in black coats patrolled the streets, terrorizing the people. One elderly villager whispered to Ace, "This island was taken over by Captain Kain, a ruthless pirate who imprisons anyone who opposes him."
As Ace moved through the town, he heard shouting near the village square. He ran to find a large iron cage, and inside was a young swordsman, around 18 years old. His body was bruised, and his long silver hair covered his face. The villagers whispered his name—Ryo Kisaragi, a warrior who had tried to fight back against Captain Kain but had been defeated and captured.
Ace clenched his fists. “I can’t let this slide.”
With determination, he rushed toward the cage, taking down several of Kain’s men with his rubber-powered punches. But just as he reached for the lock, a huge shadow loomed over him.
Captain Kain had arrived.
A massive, battle-hardened man with jet-black armor and a massive axe stood before him. “So, another fool thinks he can stand against me?” Kain sneered before swinging his axe.
Ace dodged and fought back with all his strength, using his rubber abilities to land powerful blows. “Gomu Gomu no Pistol!” He punched Kain square in the face, but Kain barely flinched. The difference in power was too great.
After a brutal fight, Ace was left on the ground, panting and exhausted. Kain raised his axe for the final strike—until suddenly…
A gust of wind tore through the battlefield.
A man in a long, dark coat appeared. He carried a katana with a cursed purple glow, its aura so strong that even Kain took a step back. The villagers gasped in shock.
“Danks…” someone whispered.
Danks, Ryo’s mentor, was a legendary swordsman known for his supernatural sword techniques. He moved like a shadow, cutting through Kain’s entire crew within minutes. None of them stood a chance.
Now, only Kain remained.
The fight between Danks and Kain shook the island. Danks was fast and precise, his cursed blade cutting through even steel. Kain fought back with all his might, but he was outmatched. However, when Ryo was finally freed from the cage, he grabbed his sword and joined the battle alongside Ace and Danks.
Together, all three attacked at once—Ace using his rubber-powered punches, Ryo with his lightning-fast sword strikes, and Danks delivering the final cursed slash.
With one last cry, Captain Kain fell. The island was free.
As the villagers cheered, Ace turned to Ryo. “Join my crew. Let’s conquer the Grand Seas together!”
Ryo smirked. “Heh… I suppose I don’t have anywhere else to go. Fine, I’m in.”
Ace then turned to Danks. “What about you?”
Danks shook his head. “I walk my own path, kid. But we’ll meet again.” He disappeared into the night.
As Ace and Ryo set sail, they thought about a name for their crew. After brainstorming, Ryo grinned.
“How about Seven Crews? A name that’ll shake the world one day.”
Ace laughed. “I love it!”
Their journey had only just begun.
To be continued…
Seven Crews – Season 1, Episode 3: Lost in Mariejois! The Tyrant King Falls
After setting sail once again, Ace and Ryo found themselves completely lost at sea—and it was all Ryo’s fault.
“I told you to steer west!” Ace yelled.
“I DID! But the waves pushed us away!” Ryo argued.
Ace groaned in frustration. With no navigator, they were hopeless. For hours, they drifted aimlessly until a mysterious island appeared in the distance. It was surrounded by thick mist, with towering white mountains and a massive golden castle visible at the center.
“Looks fancy,” Ryo said.
“Let’s just hope we don’t end up in trouble,” Ace replied.
As they approached, a sudden wave crashed into their boat, sending them spiraling toward the shore. They crashed into a cave, knocking them unconscious.
A Mysterious Beauty
When Ace and Ryo woke up, the first thing they saw was a beautiful woman standing at the cave entrance.
She had long orange hair, deep blue eyes, and a stunning curvy figure. Her appearance reminded them of a goddess—especially Ryo, whose jaw dropped instantly.
“W-Wow…” Ryo stuttered, completely mesmerized.
The woman’s eyes widened in shock. She turned around and ran.
“H-Hey, wait!” Ryo yelled, chasing after her.
Ace sighed. “Seriously?”
The two ran after her through the dense jungle, but no matter how fast they moved, she always stayed ahead. Eventually, they lost sight of her.
“Damn it!” Ryo cursed. “She’s fast…”
“She also knows this island well,” Ace noted. “If she can navigate, we need her.”
But before they could think further, a scream echoed from the village ahead.
The Tyrant King
Ace and Ryo rushed toward the village and saw something horrible. The villagers were on their knees, crying as guards in golden armor took their money and food. At the center of it all sat King Kael—a tall, muscular man covered in royal robes and jewels.
The villagers whispered in fear:
“He scams us… steals from us…”
“He sleeps with our wives and threatens our families…”
“He’s unstoppable…”
Ace clenched his fists. “That bastard…”
Without hesitation, Ace and Ryo charged straight at Kael.
The Battle Against the Tyrant
Kael smirked and stood up, cracking his knuckles. “Another bunch of fools trying to take me down?”
Ryo unsheathed his sword. “This guy’s mine.”
Kael vanished in an instant—before appearing right in front of Ryo, slamming his fist into his stomach. BOOM! Ryo was sent flying through several buildings.
“Ryo!” Ace yelled.
Kael turned to Ace. “You’re next.”
Ace gritted his teeth and charged in. He stretched his arm back.
“Gomu Gomu no Pistol!”
Ace’s punch collided with Kael’s face—but Kael didn’t even flinch. Instead, he grabbed Ace’s arm and threw him into the ground, creating a crater.
Ace coughed, struggling to get up. “Damn… this guy’s strong.”
Just when things seemed hopeless, a figure appeared.
The Woman’s Return!
The same mysterious woman from before leaped into the air—and with all her strength, she punched Kael straight in the face.
BOOM!
Kael staggered back for the first time.
Ryo, now back on his feet, grinned. “Oh, I like her even more now.”
The woman glared at Kael. “Your reign ends today.”
Ryo slashed his sword, cutting through Kael’s armor.
Ace stretched his arms, spinning in the air. “Gomu Gomu no Rocket!”
He grabbed Kael and hurled him into the sky—so far that he disappeared into space.
The villagers cheered.
But Ace sighed. “I don’t think he’s dead.”
The Seven Crews’ Newest Member!
Ryo turned to the woman. “Join our crew.”
She crossed her arms. “No.”
Ryo thought for a moment before smirking. “There’s a huge reward for pirates like us.”
The woman raised an eyebrow. “How much?”
Ryo winked. “A LOT.”
She sighed. “Fine, I’ll join… but I better be paid well.”
Ace laughed. “Welcome to the crew!”
With that, the Seven Crews had its third member.
To be continued…
Seven Crews – Season 1, Episode 4: The Path to Higher Bounties!
After defeating King Kael, the Seven Crews had three members—but their bounty levels were embarrassingly low.
Ace: 2,000 Berries (Highest)
Ryo: 1,500 Berries
??? (The Woman): 10 Berries (Lowest)
Ryo stared at the wanted posters and burst into laughter. “PFFFT! Ten berries?! That’s less than the price of an apple!”
The woman crossed her arms and glared at him. “Shut up.”
Ace smirked. “Well, we’re weak in the eyes of the world. If we want a reputation, we need to make a name for ourselves.”
Ryo nodded. “We need a crazy adventure—something that’ll make the Marines take us seriously.”
Revealing Her Name
Before planning their next move, Ace turned to the woman. “By the way, you never told us your name.”
She sighed. “It’s Elena.”
“Elena, huh?” Ryo grinned. “Alright, welcome to the Seven Crews!”
She smirked. “Just don’t expect me to babysit you two.”
The Quest for Higher Bounties
The crew set sail, looking for a challenge.
Their plan was simple: cause chaos, fight strong enemies, and get recognized by the world.
First Stop: Pirate Raid!
They found a group of weak pirates looting a small town.
Ace stretched his arms, grabbed two pirates, and spun them in the air before slamming them into the ground.
Ryo clashed swords with their captain and easily disarmed him.
Elena dodged every attack and knocked out enemies with precise strikes.
The Marines arrived late, only to see the Seven Crews leaving.
“Damn it! Who are those guys?!” a Marine shouted.
“Who cares? They’re nobodies,” another replied.
Ace gritted his teeth. “Tch… still no recognition.”
Second Stop: Marine Cargo Heist!
The crew spotted a Marine ship carrying valuable supplies.
Elena smirked. “Now this might get their attention.”
They launched an attack:
Ace stretched across the deck, kicking Marines off the ship.
Ryo slashed ropes, causing cannons to collapse.
Elena snuck into the captain’s room and stole their most valuable maps.
After wrecking the ship, they escaped before backup arrived.
Still No Big Bounties?!
That night, Ace checked the latest bounty updates… and frowned.
Ace: 3,000 Berries (Slight Increase)
Ryo: 2,500 Berries (Not Bad)
Elena: 20 Berries (Just +10…)
Ryo almost fell over laughing. “TWENTY BERRIES?! EVEN A CHICKEN IS WORTH MORE!”
Elena punched him in the face. “Laugh again, and I’ll cut off your tongue.”
Ace sighed. “We need something bigger…”
Suddenly, a shadow loomed over them.
The crew turned around—and standing in front of them was a dangerous new enemy.
To be continued…
Seven Crews – Season 1, Episode 5: The Burning Arrival!
After their failed attempts at getting higher bounties, Ace, Ryo, and Elena continued sailing across the sea.
But their adventure took a deadly turn when something massive emerged from the water.
The Arrival of Karken!
A giant, menacing octopus with dark red skin and glowing yellow eyes rose from the depths, shaking the entire sea.
“WHO DARES SAIL INTO MY WATERS?!” Karken’s voice boomed like thunder.
Ryo smirked, gripping his sword. “Finally, someone strong!”
Ace cracked his knuckles. “This guy should be worth at least a million berries!”
Elena sighed. “You guys are crazy…”
The Battle Begins!
Karken lashed out with his giant tentacles, smashing the ship's deck.
Ace stretched his arms, dodging swiftly while punching Karken’s eyes.
Ryo sliced through multiple tentacles, but they kept regenerating.
Elena used her agility to dodge, but even she struggled to land a hit.
Karken was too strong. He knocked them all back, sending Ace crashing into the mast and Ryo into the sea.
Elena ran to the edge, worried. “Ryo!!”
But suddenly…
A dark purple aura surrounded Ryo’s sword.
For one second, his blade glowed with an ominous energy.
Ryo’s eyes widened. “What… is this?”
With newfound strength, he slashed upward, cutting off one of Karken’s tentacles in one strike!
Elena’s eyes sparkled slightly. "That was… kind of cool." (She quickly shook the thought away.)
However, Ryo’s sword instantly returned to normal. His moment of power was gone.
Karken roared, furious. “INSOLENT BRATS! YOU’LL DIE HERE!”
A Fiery Arrival!
Just when things seemed hopeless…
A figure landed on the ship, surrounded by flames.
His hands and feet burned with fire, and his piercing red eyes locked onto Karken.
“Tch… I can’t let a bunch of amateurs die here.”
With a powerful flaming kick, he burned through Karken’s tentacle.
Ace’s eyes widened. “Whoa! Who the hell are you?!”
The man smirked. “Name’s Blaze.”
Blaze joined the fight, using his fiery punches and kicks to weaken Karken.
Ace wrapped his arms around Karken’s head and launched a Gomu Gomu no Rocket Punch.
Ryo, exhausted, landed a final slash across Karken’s body.
Elena stabbed her daggers into Karken’s face.
Blaze delivered a final flaming kick to Karken’s core, setting him ablaze!
Karken let out a final scream before sinking into the ocean, defeated.
Blaze Joins the Crew!
Ace turned to Blaze, grinning. “That was awesome! Join my crew!”
Blaze crossed his arms. “Hmph… what do I get out of it?”
Ace smirked. “Adventure, fame, and—”
Ryo cut in. “Free food.”
Blaze’s eyes lit up. “I’m in.”
Ace nodded. “What’s your specialty?”
Blaze smirked. “I’m the best damn cook you’ll ever meet.”
Ryo’s stomach growled. “You should’ve said that first!”
With four members now on board, the Seven Crews continued their journey—stronger than ever.
