"I am an informant. I know things. Most of them unfortunately not pleasant." - Portgas D. Roux
Being reincarnated into the One Piece universe is not what one would expect after dying. Especially when the 'character' you've been born into is someone who technically doesn't exist. Were things supposed to remain the same, or were you supposed to change them? Only time will tell, supposedly.

Tropes contained in Will of D.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Roux, being a Pretty Boy attracts a lot of unwanted attention. His more loathsome admirers so far include two male World Nobles and Charlotte Linlin.
- Although Linlin is capable of accepting no for an answer from someone of Roux's calibre.
- Affably Evil: Roux has this vibe, having a dark reputation but behaving like a perfect gentleman.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Roux suspects that this trope was the main reason Rouge fell for Roger. He himself is in no position to cast stones, since he does feel attracted to a Supreme Grade Asshole like Doflamingo.
- Big Brother Instinct: Doflamingo gets visibly ruffled when Roux, who has a dark and bloody reputation pays too much attention to Rocinante. Alas, Doffy values the Op Op Fruit a lot more than his brother.
- Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: While Roux ships Ace with Marco and Sabo with Koala, when it comes to Luffy he swears that he will do anything in his power to ensure that his youngest nephew has no love life. No one is worthy of cute, innoncent Luffy, not Law, Hancock, Nami, or Bartholomew. Roux has sworn to kill anyone that even thinks about defiling Luffy.
- Cool Uncle: Roux to Ace, allowing the child to have a happier childhood and a family member that fully supports his dream of becoming a pirate.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Roci, as noted by Roux might be a clumsy fool but he is very, very strong and durable.
- Death by Childbirth: Portgas D. Rouge.
- Death Faked for You: Roux manages to give Rocinante some drugs that mimic death in order to fool everyone, including Law that Roci has died.
- As a result Roci becomes Roux's assistant and goes by the name Quijote Dapple.
- The Dreaded: Roux, in his identity as The Informant, Daemon Red is feared by many. Rocinante recounts that Doflamingo himself is wary of Red.
- Drink-Based Characterization: Matcha tea for Roux (due to having been Japanese in his past life. Matcha also provides energy without the caffeine crash, which an ill boy would appreciate.) Everyone he meets with knows to offer him some.
- Glass Cannon: Roux has heavy offensive power but his defense is shit. So is his ability to take a hit.
- Fatal Flaw: For Roux is his fatalism and belief that he cant change the storyline.
- Even the Guys Want Him: Poor Roux is very, very popular with pretty much everyone.
- The Gadfly: Roux really likes to make fun for Garp and Sengoku when it comes to Dragon's activities and Ace's dreams of becoming a pirate.
- Heart Is an Awesome Power: The Calm-Calm Fruit can not only hide sound but also a person's entire presence. While covered under its power, Roci and Roux are invisible to even Katakuri's extremely advanced Observation Haki.
- Hopeless Suitor: Rocinante is in love with Roux, who at his point sees him as a friend/little brother figure.
- The Klutz: Rocinante is a world class klutz just like in cannon.
- Like a Son to Me: Garp pretty much considers Roux his son, even introduces himself to Roci as Roux's father and warns him off his boy.
- Man of Wealth and Taste: Roux adopts this personal in his public dealings.
- Manipulative Bastard: Roux, he flawlessly manages to manipulate Big Mom to give Katakuri to him as a bodyguard.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Roux did nothing to prevent cannon events up until Rocinante's death due to his fatalism. The fact that he is able to save Roci hits him hard, making him think that he could have saved his sister Rouge.
- Papa Wolf: Roux puts the fear of god in Dadan and the bandits, ensuring that they will treat Ace and Luffy better.
- Parental Favouritism: Roux does consider Luffy the most precious and cutest of his nephews.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Roux is only around 175 cm tall, which is tiny for a One Piece male. Next to Rocinante he looks positively delicate.
- Pretty Boy: Roux, to the point where male World Nobles want to make him their wife/concubine. Also, Rocinante.
- Really Gets Around: Charlotte Linlin. When she and Roux first became acquainted she asked him to become her twenty third husband. Now days she is on number forty six.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Roux manages to save Donquixote Rocinante.
- Stealth Insult: After faking Roci's death, Roux names him Dapple, after Don Quixote's donkey.
- Training from Hell: Roux puts Roci through one to make him into a highly feared fighter.
- Wig, Dress, Accent: Rocinante's disguise consists of dying his blonde hair black, contouring his face with make up, applying fake freckles and wearing only bespoke suits.
- What Does She See in Him?: Roux is at a loss at why his beautiful, young sister shacked up with middle and badly aged Gol D. Roger.
