History Fanfic / TwelveRedLines

''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.

* CasualDangerDialog: More like 'Casual [[CurbStompBattle Curb-Stomp]] Dialog", but in Chapter 19, [[spoiler:the ASL brothers]] discuss the Going Merry as they beat up the Baroque Works Billions. Jones wonders if they even notice that they're being attacked.

* SaiGuy: Having trained with them during her karate lessons, Jones adds the weapons to her arsenal the first chance she gets.

* CaffeineBulletTime: According to Jones, coffee does this to her, albeit in an Earth-normal fashion.

* 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. [[spoiler: It gets replaced at the end of Chiaroscuro... when Ace gives her his old pipe.]]

* AdultFear:
** It's glossed over because of what happens immediately afterwards, but what happened when Jones countered Lisa's Calming Green was ''disturbing.'' [[spoiler: By invoking green as a symbol of wilderness, Jones accidentally awakened instincts that caused her to see the child as ''prey.'' And she had ''no idea'' where they came from.]]
** Likewise, Lisa later hits Ace with a particularly potent dosage of Sadness Blue as punishment for him [[spoiler:attacking and burning Jones]]. Jones, being fully aware of Ace's DarkAndTroubledPast, is stopped from objecting to it only because of her injuries.

* HilariousInHindsight: In Chapter X, Aisa mistakes Jones, Usopp, and Ruatha for Aztec gods. Jones, in particular, is mistaken for Nanahuatzin. Jones, of course, isn’t secretly a sun god. [[spoiler:But as revealed in the Wano arc, Luffy is.]]

* RealityEnsues: While Jones' ammonia-soaked mask does protect her from Krieg's mustard gas, it also gives her chemical burns and damages her throat and lungs as ammonia is rather dangerous to breathe, especially when mixed with water.
** Lisa uses mind control paints because she's just a tiny twelve-year-old, and couldn't realistically beat most enemies into submission.
** Jones' self-esteem and depression issues don't vanish completely upon joining the Straw Hats; she needs occasional reassurance that she's their friend and a treasured crewmate.
** Luffy is forced to realize Grand Line is dangerous when Jones is critically hurt while protecting Vivi. It makes him reluctant to accept [[BadassAdorable Lisa]] in his crew, since she's twelve years old and not very physically fit, meaning she would be quite vulnerable in a fight.

* MarySue: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in Chapter 3, with Jones worrying that she might be one, and hoping that her weird behavior and injury-prone status would avoid that.

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: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]].

*** A more comical example in Chapter 36 when she finds out that the Shandians had access to rubber all along, using it in their toys. Wyper scathingly retorts that they never considered using one of their sports balls to attack Eneru when Dials and spears didn't work.

** In Chapter 32, the Straw Hats try paying Amazon to avoid trouble, but much to Nami's trauma, they don't have enough for the whole crew. When they reach Angel Island, they find out that Upper Yard—the place where they need to go to meet Jones and Usopp—is where criminals are sent. Nami goes ''berserk''.

** The Shandians in Skypiea are Aztecs. They play Ullamaliztli in the last chapter of the Skypiea arc. The Straw Hats win through liberal abuse of Devil Fruit powers, which aren't ''technically'' against the rules, and Sanji's ridiculous kicking strength.

* ATwinkleInTheSky: Happens to Enel when [[spoiler: Jones and Usopp shoot him out of a cannon aimed at the moon]].

* UnstoppableRage: Jones has a tendency to fly into one of these when emotions are running high and someone hits her BerserkButton.
** In Chapter 7, when Nelson's men start killing some of the dragons and some of their blood lands on Jones, she goes into a literal blind rage, unable to perceive anything but a red and black haze and the urge to AttackAttackAttack until someone lands a cutlass strike on her chest.
** In Chapter 30, she goes into one against [[spoiler:the Blackbeard Pirates]] after Ghin [[spoiler:loses an arm saving her life]].

* ExactWords: Attempted by Jones when she promises to stay with the crew; Luffy calls her out on it the next day and closes the loophole. Her narration mentions that this is not the first time she's done it.

-->'''Jones''': Come on, where was a giant carnivorous sea cow when you needed one?
-->'''Luffy''': Jones… Did you hug a bomb to protect the city?

* ATruceWhileWeGawk: At the end of Chapter 34, the battle of Jones vs. Enel comes to an abrupt halt when Jones [[spoiler:mishears 'Kiten' as 'kitten' and proceeds to glomp the electrical construct, which of course, sends her flying and knocks her out]]. Luffy, Usopp, Aisa, Nola, and Enel all stare in bewilderment for a long minute.

* GroinAttack:

** When Sanji uses this against an opponent on Drum Island, Ghin is shocked that the cook would be so vicious.

* ItsAllMyFault: Jones blames her poor planning for [[spoiler: Ghin losing her arm]].

* GroinAttack: Jones targets Johnny with one when he first boards the Going Merry. To be fair, he ''was'' attacking her and Usopp.

* PetTheDog: The moment it becomes clear that Jones is successfully persuading [[spoiler:Daz Bones]] to follow his dreams is an almost literal picture of this trope. You know, aside from the fact that he's petting a baby crocodile rather than a puppy.

* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Ghin loses an arm protecting Jones from Blackbeard.]]

** Baroque Works agents get a lot more attention, too. We start with Miss Monday/Mairead, Mr. 9/Jack, and the Unluckies, then we add Miss Goldenweek/Lisa. Then en route to Alubarna's palace, Mr. 10 and Miss Tuesday, only named in canon, show up and engage the Straw Hats in a fight, even if they lose rather quickly. And then, in the battle on Alubarna, ''every'' number team that hadn't defected or died shows up. To expand on this, the teams that showed up in canon were 0–5, 7–9, and 13. 10 and Tuesday got sketches. The rest of them got codenames and nothing else.

** Don't even vaguely imply that you're threatening Sabo's brothers. Jones gets off with only a DeathGlare and a [[TranquilFury calm warning]], because he knew her phrasing was accidental, but Sabo only just remembered them and absolutely will not lose them again.
* BigWhat: The Straw Hats have this reaction in Chapter 6, when their ship is stolen.

* CanadaEh: Jones's Canadian heritage comes up on occasion, specified in other tropes on this page.
** Drum Kingdom in general; most prominently, the island's all rabid hockey fans, including Chopper.

** Not the first time, either, and by the above example Nami is lamenting the sheer cost of replacing all the clothes Jones goes through.

** We get a little expansion on Mihawk as well: he's secretly a cat person, and has a phobia of roaches. The green flames on his raft come from boric acid, roach killer.

* JokeAndReceive: After learning Luffy is Garp's grandson, Sabo's brother and ''Dragon's'' son, Usopp freaks out and asks if Luffy is hiding something else, such as [[spoiler:his other brother being the Pirate King's secret son]].

* 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 ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}.
* MoreExpendableThanYou: Jones says this to Vivi [[spoiler:as her apparent last words right after taking a full-body T-Rex bite to save her]]. Luffy is ''not'' happy when he finds out, and learns his grandfather's Fist of Love technique just so he can knock some sense into Jones when she recovers. It eventually works.

** Every canon member of the Straw Hats speaks a second language corresponding to their real world nationality (i.e. Luffy speaks Portugese and Nami speaks Swedish.)

** 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.

* NoSell: During a spar in Chapter 2, Jones kicks Zoro as hard as she can. She only manages to push herself backwards.

** And even with the Straw Hats, as of chapter 12 she still doesn’t feel comfortable enough to cry in front of any of them or sleep in the same room.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: The instant she realizes that she’s in a fan fiction, she starts chastising the one with the keyboard, and continues to do so regularly, heedless of who is around her.
* RealityEnsues: While Jones' ammonia soaked mask does protect her from Krieg's mustard gas, it also gives her chemical burns and damages her throat and lungs as ammonia is rather dangerous to breathe, especially when mixed with water.

* UnreliableNarrator: Despite being the name of the first chapter, it's hard to tell of Jones is one of these or not. She seems to relate most things fairly accurately, but every once in a while she ''blatantly flaunts'' that she's not telling us everything. Case in point...

** While on Skypeia, Robin snaps at Sanji over how condescending his objectification of women is.

* WhatTheHellHero: The Straw Hat Pirates are quite ''upset'' with Ace for assaulting Jones without having the slightest proof she was ill-intentioned towards Luffy.

* MythologyGag: Every canon member of the Straw Hats speaks a second language corresponding to their real world nationality (i.e. Luffy speaks Portugese and Nami speaks Swedish.)
