History Fanfic / TwelveRedLines

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: The Warship Island filler invokes this; this fic takes it a step further by having Jones, stated to be a dragon lover already, rescue a hatchling that was unable to break out of its shell. The newly christened [[Literature/DragonridersOfPern Ruatha]] joins his 'mother' with the Straw Hats as a result.

* PublicSecretMessage: The ad Jones puts in the paper to make sure Ace still knows to meet them in Alabasta despite Luffy's lack of a wanted poster.

* LogicalWeakness: When Mr. 2 tries to mimic Jones's face, he also replicates her [[BlindWithoutEm severe need for glasses]].

* BiTheWay: Jones, confirmed via {{Word Of God}} in the author's notes for Chapter 17.

** In an effort to save Ace and kill Blackbeard, Jones put a cryptic advertisement disguised as a love letter in the paper, asking Ace to meet Luffy in Alabasta and saying that one of his crewmates (her) could help track down the one who hurt Thatch. The thing is, it came out ''before'' Blackbeard attacked Thatch. As a result of this, [[spoiler:Thatch survives, albeit crippled; Ace embarked on his search on Whitebeard's actual orders as opposed to disobeying them; and the old man also ordered ''three other division commanders, including Marco,'' after Teach.]]

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Jones has a desire to pet anything she considers cute, and has knowledge from a biology degree to back up that inclination. [[spoiler:She manages to make a good impression on Mr. 13 as a result of this, and as a result, the Unluckies become allies, and eventually join the crew.]]

** Ace has two: don't badmouth Whitebeard, and don't hurt Luffy. [[spoiler:Crocodile does both]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Lisa subjects [[spoiler:the Blackbeard Pirates]] to this, forcing them to aid her efforts against [[spoiler:their Captain.]]

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Has a desire to pet anything she considers cute, and has knowledge from a biology degree to back up that inclination. [[spoiler:She manages to make a good impression on Mr. 13 as a result of this, and as a result, the Unluckies become allies, and eventually join the crew.]]

''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/twelve-red-lines-a-one-piece-si-fanfic.511606/ Twelve Red Lines]]'' is a Manga/OnePiece [[SelfInsertFic Self-Insert]] FanFiction by Vikingr. The suicide attempt of a gender-fluid young woman named Jones leads to her being rescued by the Straw Hat Pirates, and the truth of where she came from comes out the moment they see their Jolly Roger, painted mere days before, on her necklace. She joins the crew at Luffy’s insistence, and it takes no time at all for her presence to begin changing the story she knew.

* MediumAwareness: At the start of Chapter 4, Jones realizes that with everything that’s happened to her, she’s actually within a fan fiction that another version of herself is writing. She is displeased, to put it mildly…but at the same time, she wastes no time in beginning to treat her situation like {{Deadpool}}.

A healthy blend of adventure, humor, parody, and real world issues, it's neither as dark nor as silly as one would expect.

* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: Marshall D. "Blackbeard" Teach. Despite so many things going wrong before and during Jones's plan, the Straw Hats, the Whitebeards, and Sabo succeed in ending his life]]. And to remove any doubt, [[spoiler:the Dark-Dark Fruit reincarnates on the battlefield, falling back into the Whitebeards' hands]].

** [[spoiler: Luffy orders her to ''live,'' at that. Jones comments that this is reminiscent of what the Straw Hats told Robin, showing that they really do see her as a friend. Or at the barest minimum, that they ''want to''.]]

* ShoutOut: Jones makes use of some of the media of her home world for allusions.
** In Chapter 2, she mentally recites [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Elsa]]’s mantra when she starts working at the Baratie in Luffy’s place.
-->'''Jones''': Don’t let them in; don’t let them see. Be the good girl you always have to be. Conceal- don’t feel. Put on a show. Make one wrong move and everyone will know.
** In the same chapter, she mentions getting Ghin an [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Element of Loyalty]] armband.
** Also in the same chapter, she references ''Film/EverAfter'' when she opens the cell door by removing the pins from the hinges and swinging it open from the lock, complete with the quote from Da Vinci:
-->'''Ghin''': That- where did you learn that? It's amazing.
-->'''Jones''': Yes, I will go down in history as the woman who opened a door.
** In Chapter 5, she mentally refers to Johnny and Yosaku as the [[Literature/HarryPotter Weasley Twins]]. And in later chapters, they live up to it.
** Also in Chapter 5, she calls out her writer for naming a Den Den Mushi (Transponder Snail) store [[Creator/{{IBM}} Indigo and Bond Mushi Depot]].
** In Chapter 6, we have the first of many references to ''Film/ThePrincessBride'' when Jones reads something in the newspaper about a large group of Marines devoured by shrieking eels off the coast of a place called Gildor.
** In Chapter 13, Miss Goldenweek gives her real name as Lisa. Now, considering the fact that she’s an ''artist'', what do you think that’s referring to?
** While being held captive by the Straw Hats, Mr. Nine calls Jones the [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire "Mother of dragons"]], although she cuts him off before he can complete the sentence, claiming it to be the wrong franchise.
** Jones's thoughts go a little funny while Arlong is trying to strangle her, turning into the lyrics of [[Disney/TheLionKingIISimbasPride We Are One]].
** Sanji's interaction with Wapol parallels how [[Series/Merlin2008 Merlin and Arthur meet]].
** While at Whiskey Peak, we get [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim "Fus! Roh! Dah!", Jones jamming an arrow into her opponent's knee,]] [[WebVideo/CinemaSins eating an apple to look like more of an asshole,]] [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack GREAT FLAMING EYEBROWS,]] and this little gem between Jones and Mr. 13:
-->'''13''': ''(writing)'' [[Film/ThePrincessBride You seem like a decent human; I hate to kill you.]]
-->'''Jones''': And you're a very nice otter; I'd hate to die.
** In chapter 15, Johnny and Yosaku tell Luffy to [[Film/ThePrincessBride have fun storming the castle]].
** When Jones eventually starts [[CallingYourAttacks naming her sai techniques]], she uses [[VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia Cress Albane's]] and [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Yuri Lowell's]] artes.
** Even while [[spoiler:being carried to a doctor and barely clinging to consciousness after almost getting eaten by a T-Rex,]] Jones finds the energy to recite the [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail instructions for using the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch]]. And in reference to the same material, Jones refers to having to run away as the "Sir Robin maneuver."
** The sea cat Jones befriends is given the name [[Literature/WarriorCats Bluestar.]]
** Chapter nineteen ends with Jones saying [[Series/DoctorWho Allons-y.]] The question is whether this is meant as a reference, or if- being Canadian- Jones is [[GratuitousFrench bilingual.]]
** Apparently, [[Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy nothing travels faster than bad news.]]
** When Zoro, Sanji, and Ghin face-off before landing at Little Garden, Jones whistles the theme from Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly. She spends much of the rest of the chapter comparing things to Film/JurassicPark and [[WesternAnimation/LandBeforeTime The Land Before Time]].
** Jones makes fairly frequent reference to TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons, mentioning various types of skill checks, referring to people's professions and talents using various character classes, and mentioning their base stats. One of her favourites seems to be calling herself a high INT, low WIS character.
** What does Jones say when she needs to encourage Lisa to be less lazy and work through discomfort? [[Theatre/LesMiserables "Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men..."]]
** When Jones needs to call the Straw Hats in for dinner early in the story, she refers to yelling obnoxiously loud as doing her best Ma Kettle impression- a reference to the old ''Ma and Pa Kettle'' movies
** Jones' shout of "GAAAAAAAAAME!" while practicing Dugong Fu (which the text implies may be the name of one of the techniques) is reminiscent of LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys.
** Arbitrary names though they be, there's really only one thing to think when Nami calls the two halves of the crew [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Team Mushroom and Team Turtle]].
** When trying to calm Ruatha while helping him hatch, Jones recites [[Film/DragonHeart Draco's poem]].
** [[Film/ThreeHundred This isn't madness]], this is ''One Piece!''
** Jones [[spoiler: gives Toto a rock with a smiley face drawn on it to keep him from getting lonely. Its name? [[Film/CastAway Wilson]].]]
** Let's see... Who does [[Franchise/StarWars Doya]] [[{{Expy}} remind you of?]] Small green creature who rides around on a main character's back for an arc and teaches them martial arts? I wonder who he could possibly be...
** When Jones becomes paranoid that Eric is going to attack again, Zoro tells her to relax and that [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem "If you worry, you suffer twice."]]
** The gang members Jones and Ghin con money out of in Loguetown resemble [[WesternAnimation/TheRoadToElDorado Miguel and Tulio.]]
** One of Jones many complaints about the desert is that sand is [[Film/AttackOfTheClones coarse, rough, and gets everywhere]].
** Jones claims to be from the land of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f389hIxZAOc&ab_channel=NFB black flies, little black flies~]]''
** Jones, to Zoro- [[Film/TheKarateKid "Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything."]]
** "We anchored the Going Merry on the west side of the Sandora Delta. Sandelta? [[Literature/DeltoraQuest Deltora]]- wait, wrong franchise."
** Continuing with the Star Wars references, Jones manages to say 'Punch it, Chewie' and performs a Force Push.
** When fighting Mr. Seven, Jones taunts her new found bullet-proof nature with [[Film/DirtyHarry "I'm feeling like a very lucky punk right now, regardless."]]
** When trying to figure out how to [[spoiler:defuse the bomb in Alubarna's clock tower]], Jones growls and says [[spoiler:"[[Film/BatmanTheMovie Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb]]."]]
** Sabo appears to be able to use [[Literature/{{Dune}} the Voice.]] Jones even calls it Bene Gesserit witchcraft.
** [[spoiler:Smoker]] mentions that after the Straw Hats left Warship Island, the locals began creating [[Film/HowToTrainYourDragon riding tack for dragons]].
** When [[spoiler:drunk and infiltrating a marine ship- which involves arguing with Smoker- Jones appears to be singing [[Music/GreatBigSea Company of Fools.]] She even uses some of the lyrics in part of her argument- and they fit the situation.]]
** When a marine tells Jones Smoker's ship is off limits to civilians, she responds that [[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl if she sees one, she'll let him know.]]
** In chapter 15, Yosaku says [[{{Naruto}} "Those who abandon their friends are worse than trash."]]
** In Chapter 26, Drifter sings [[Creators/MontyPython The Lumberjack Song]], prompting Geier to call him out on not being a beaver, though he was closer to it than the [[{{Pun}} pythons]] who wrote the song.
** In Chapter 27...
*** Usopp says "[[Literature/HarryPotter Mimble wimble]]" when [[spoiler:Mihawk]] shows up.
*** Jones asks [[spoiler:Mihawk]] to pass a message on to [[spoiler:Shanks]]: "[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest I've got a jar of dirt. Can you guess what's inside it?]]" An in-joke solely designed to drive him insane, and when Jones reveals that, [[spoiler:Mihawk]] bursts out laughing.
** Two words: [[Franchise/StarWars Force Choke]]

* SimpleStaff: Having trained with it during her karate lessons, Jones adds the weapon to her arsenal the first chance she gets, though it gets destroyed on Little Garden and she has yet to replace it

* [[spoiler: DeathByAdaptation: Marshall D. Teach. Despite so many things going wrong before and during Jones's plan, the Straw Hats, the Whitebeards, and Sabo succeed in ending his life.]]

** Sabo appears to be able to use [[{{Dune}} the Voice.]] Jones even calls it Bene Gesserit witchcraft.

** In Chapter 2, Jones agrees—against her will—to spar with Zoro. He [[NoSell NoSells]] every attack she hits him with and then takes her down with ease. A similar occurrence happens with Ghin later.

** In Chapter 24, "Alliteration," [[spoiler: Yosaku shoves Johnny out of the way when Mr. 5 tries to blow him up.]]

** When fighting Mr. Seven, Jones taunts her new found bullet-proof nature with [[DirtyHarry "I'm feeling like a very lucky punk right now, regardless."]]

** "Anagnorisis" ends with...''someone'' showing up and causing most of the Straw Hats to react in horrified shock. Whoever it is sails in a familiar boat and is male, but that's all we know.

* GuardianEntity: Starting in Chapter 19, Jones seems to have one of these; whenever she's put under an exceptional amount of pressure, she feels a pair of invisible arms helping her through it, there for a moment and gone the next. She keeps meaning to find out what they are.

* HiddenDepths: The Unluckies, and how. Mr. 13 and Miss Friday, or rather, [[spoiler:Drifter and Geier]], apparently joined Baroque Works because they wanted to find an unspecified someone. Then we find out that [[spoiler:Drifter is a Mountie[[note]]Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman[[/note]]]]. Make of that what you will.

* NoodleIncident: In Chapter 18, after Johnny and Yosaku pull a glue-and-feather prank on Ghin, Nami flashes back to an incident when someone did the same to Genzo; he hadn't managed to look intimidating through it like Ghin did.

** Toma, the quiet and strong-willed swordsman who served as an unwilling [[CoDragons Co-Dragon]] in [[Anime/OnePieceMovieCurseOfTheSacredSword the fifth movie]], joins the crew as Zoro's apprentice.
