* HealingFactor: Kaneki's main power. It has let him shrug off evisceration, poisoning, impalement, massive blunt force trauma, et cetera, with the biggest limitation being that it takes energy and food to heal - and for him, food means people.

''The Butcher Bird'' is a One Piece SelfInsert fanfic starring the eponymous Butcher Bird, Yoshimura Kaneki, who, a few years before canon, finds himself on an unknown island, his body changed into that of [[Manga/TokyoGhoul a flesh-eating ghoul.]] In short order, he finds himself joining a pirate crew...but, unlike many One Piece fics, ''not'' that of the Straw Hats. The crew, called the Nightmare Pirates, and their journey is the focus of the story, rather than the canon of Manga/OnePiece. Kaneki himself shares Protagonist duty with his captain, Grigori 'Alley Doc' Vinci.

In a manner of speaking, there's also Kaneki, who picked his name after forgetting whatever it was originally solely because it 'felt right', and thus ended up sharing a name with two characters from Manga/TokyoGhoul - the main character Ken Kaneki, and the One-Eyed-Owl's father, Yoshimura.

->''It was a roaring engine of destruction, a jittering beast barely kept going on dregs of regeneration as the most potent combat cocktail in existence thrummed in its bloodstream and lungs. Its sword was long gone, lost in a shattered collection of bone and blood and flesh, and it fought with bare hands. Name forgotten, soul forgotten, injuries and tiredness and mortality forgotten. Only orders in its skull, golden-eyed words from golden-eyed man.
->Hunt! Kill! Maim!
->Five more around it, spilling their own blood and others, scent right while all others were wrong-wrong-wrong, a sixth even stronger behind and the rest all traces and symbols and shouting.

->Hunt! Kill! Hate!
