== Premise ==
Long ago, British serial killer Gold Roger. who has murdered countless lives, was caught by officer Monkey D. Garp and sentenced to death. His DNA was used to create the strange "drugs" known as Devil Fruits by Baxter Stockman and Dr. Arthur Gallup, in order to create more crossbreeds this time with unique and dangerous powers. However this went wrong, with two infected children escaping and the rest of the fruits mysteriously vanished.
Monkey D. Luffy, a young bullied boy. Meets a drugdealer named Shanks who leads a gang called "Red Gang", and offers the boy help if he consumes a mysterious Purple fruit. Luffy, not knowing what conquences proceed. Consumes it and he gains the power to stretch his limbs like rubber, however he becomes mentally deranged and thinks he is a pirate captain of a unnamed crew. He attacks Shanks (who survives, but his face is bitten half-off by the savage rubber boy) and takes his Straw Hat.
Luffy goes home and kills his grandfather Garp in cold-blood by smashing his head with a rock, he ends up running away from home and finds a orphange being held by abusive caretakers. He burns it down, killing everyone inside except for 8 other strange children. Zoro, who plays with toy swords, Sanji, who dreams of being a cook, Nico Robin, a girl who also ate a devil fruit that makes her grow limbs like flower pedals and is very intelligent, Usopp, a Sharp-shooter who lies a lot, Franky, a boy who thinks he is made of metal, Tony Tony Chopper, a half-man half-deer Crossbreed who also ate a fruit that he uses to transform into scarily looking forms, Brook, a boy who is a musician that Luffy later forcefeeds a devil fruit, and Jinbei, a half-man half-fish Crossbreed who is the strongest. He raises them into thinking they are The Straw Hat Pirates, and one day. They find a young girl named Nami, who is abused by her father Arlong. Luffy and Zoro kill the man and "rescue" the girl. He asks her to join, she at first refuses. But seeing that she is no longer a part of her father's life, she agrees to and ends up becoming the "Navigator" of the group.
As adults, Luffy and the Straw Hat pirates become somewhat of a cult. With Luffy claiming they are finding "treasures." although he is mostly stealing and robbing houses. Nami grew up with the group not knowing any dangers that would soon go ashore. She is often sexually flirted on by Sanji and they live in a crack-den Luffy claims is called the "Thousand Sunny." When in reality it's Peter Pan's former circus tent to lure and kidnap children in. Nami feels like something is wrong with her "friends", and she asks Luffy why are they living like this. With claiming they are pirates, stealing, and using a complete "Drug prison" as their hideout. Luffy assures Nami that nothing is wrong, but she doubts it.
Lila, Henry, Matthew, and Diana. Four college-aged people, hear about the strange robberies going around London. While A police officer named Bogard is still confused on his former chief, Garp's mysterious murder from years back and the disappearance of his grandson. Bogard investigates and finds himself in the Straw Hat's hideout. The Straw Hats surround Bogard and he is shocked to see Luffy still alive, but looking delusional. Luffy reveals to Bogard he killed Garp and now he is on the run. Nami overhears the conversation from afar and knows something isn't right with her friends. Luffy tells Usopp to shoot a dart at Bogard, in which he does and he is wounded by it while Franky smashes his head with his fists, killing him. Nami screams and calls the crew "MURDERERS!" Luffy tries to assure Nami it's not what she thinks, However she grabs a gun and shoots the Straw-hatted Captain. Due to his rubber powers, the bullet dodges. and Luffy gets enraged, at first Sanji refuses to hurt Nami that she "is a woman." Luffy gets angry and knocks out Sanji with a punch. Nami then aims the gun at Luffy but finds out it is out of bullets. She drops the gun and begins to cry, asking Luffy why he brought her into this and why he lied to her. Luffy doesn't listen and tries to kill Nami by using his arm to strangle her to death, however she bites it and runs off.
Enraged for Nami's betrayal, Luffy tells the Straw Hats that from now on. Everyone that has wronged them will be hunted down who tries to trespass their "ship." Nami, barely alive. Meets Matthew, who tells her that he can help her. They sneak out of the crack-den and head to the nearest police station to get help. When they get there, she tries to tell the other officers that Luffy killed Bogard and Garp. However they don't believe her, as Luffy went missing 20 years ago after Garp was mysteriously murdered. Nami uses the gun as evidence, and they begin to question if she is lying or not. The officers bring her back to the station for questioning, and Matthew is left outside.
Lila, Henry, and Diana are walking and they find the tent. As they enter, they find a scene of complete and utter destruction. The tent is torn to shreds, furniture is broken and scattered, and the bodies of several people are lying on the ground. They find Bogard's body along with the others and realize that something very sinister has happened here. Behind them, Sanji kicks Henry unconscious before Usopp guts him, which kills him. Ehile Luffy strangles Diana to death with his stretched arm. Lila screams in terror as she tries to run away from the enraged Luffy, but Robin comes from afar and breaks her neck.
With the three dead, Luffy then tells the crew that they'll use the big guns (Chopper and Jinbei) as help later once they find Nami. Sanji begins to have Necrophilia with Lila and Diana's corpse while Usopp begins to wear a part of Henry's skin.
Matthew tries to call Lila, Henry, and Diana outside of the police station. But finds out their phones are off. He then begins to panic and tries to find another way to reach them, he tells Nami where are they at. She replies she doesn't know where they are and they run off to find them.
Meanwhile, Nami and Matthew meet Shanks. The same man who gave Luffy the devil fruit years ago. He reveals that Luffy was once a ordinary boy until he ate the devil fruit. Shanks also tells them that the only reason Luffy's arm became stretchy instead of giving him any other abilities was because it was a "devil" fruit. A type of "rare" drug which looks like a fruit. But tastes horridly, and might have scientific and sinister origins. Shanks confirmed he bought the fruit from a deranged doctor (revealed to be Baxter Stockman.) years prior and the fruit was known as the Gum-Gum Fruit. The fruits also give the person who eats it strong powers, but lose the ability to swim, which is their weakness. And their personalities change drastically for the worse. Shanks reveals Luffy and the so-called "Straw Hat Pirates" are behind the robberies, and recent murders happening due to Nami's betrayal. Luffy once killed and ate one of Shanks' Gang mates (Presumed to be Lucky Roux.) in the past. Shanks offers to help Nami and Matthew stop Luffy and his crew.
Nami, Henry, and Shanks run off to the tent and find it strangely empty, but with the bodies of Lila, Diana, and Henry lying outside. The ground is covered in blood, and there is a strange smell of death in the air. Shanks tells them that Luffy must have fleed with the others to kill more people and cause chaos. However, Usopp is watching afar and shoots his slingshot at Matthew, hiting him with blunt force trauma. Nami screams while Shanks tries to console her. Luffy watches from afar and strangles Shanks with his stretchy arm, Nami tries to cut off Luffy's stretchy arm with one of Zoro's swords. But ends up accidently killing Usopp instead. Luffy then lets go of Shanks and attempts to finally end Nami's life by "Pistoling her until her skull is completely empty of brains." Nami, unable to move out of the way, tries to close her eyes and brace for the impact. But suddenly, Chopper and Jinbei and growl trying to kill Shanks. But Shanks defeats them both easily albit heavily wounded by the jaws of the Fishman Crossbreed, and is almost ambushed by Sanji and Zoro. Shanks ends up injuring the two, Brook tries to attack him but Shanks slashes and seemly kills him. As Luffy is about to stretch his arms to do a "Gum Gum PISTOL!" on her, Shanks grabs one of Zoro's swords, and hits Luffy in the head with it. Cutting through his former straw hat and into the rubber man's brain, finally killing him. As Luffy's body falls to the ground, Nami rushes to Shanks, who is now lying on the ground, bleeding heavily from his wounds. She begs him not to die, but he tells her that it's all for the better. Nami finds out Matthew has survived the blunt force trauma caused by Usopp, and carries his unconscious body to a hospital (revealed to be the same one Christopher Robin worked at in Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2.) as Shanks dies peacefully, surrounded by the remains of the circus once owned by Peter Pan and his allies.
In a final scene, Nami and Matthew end up kindling a romantic relationship. As Nami spends time nursing Matthew back to health, Christopher then tells Nami how did she end up at the situation. She then tells her story to Christopher.
However, It's revealed the Devil Fruits, instead of respawning like in the manga after the user's death. Actually gives it's user the ability to regenerate, similar in vain to Pooh and other Crossbreed's ablities. Nico Robin puts Luffy's body in a bed inside a abandoned house, in which he is slowly reviving. Owl comes pecking at the window, and Robin lets him in. Owl, who has been secretly watching the events, tells Robin that he, Pooh, and "Other beings" are set out to get revenge on the ones they failed to kill once again. And offers her, Luffy, and the other Straw Hats to join them. Robin agrees on it, and Luffy is seen revived, saying "Nami, you'll join my crew or die doing it!" as he wakes up. Brook is also seen reviving as a living skeleton with zombified features, playing a sinister version of "Binks' Sake" as the credits continue to roll.
A post-credit scene sketch shows more devil fruit users such as Yamato, Kaido, Buggy the Clown, Blackbeard, and Luffy's long-lost brother Ace. Carrot, a half-rabbit half-woman female crossbreed and Rabbit from Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey's biological daughter is also revealed. Vivi would join Nami at some point as one of the survivors.
