One Piece what if manga
A One Piece what-if is a fan story that changes one turning point of Eiichiro Oda's series and sails the Straw Hats into a different Grand Line.
Every story here is an unofficial fan work, written and published by a Konyomi creator. The art is drawn new for each story. The first chapter is free to read.

These are the questions fans come back to. Each one changes a single moment, which is what makes a what-if easy to follow.
| What-if premise | What it changes |
|---|---|
| What if Ace survived Marineford? | Ace's death is the loss that sends Luffy into two years of training. If someone stops Akainu's fist, the war ends with three brothers alive and Blackbeard still hunting. |
| What if Luffy ate a different Devil Fruit? | Luffy's fighting style, his crew and his whole dream come from a rubber body. A Logia or a Zoan Luffy changes every fight from Buggy to Kaido. |
| What if Garp made Luffy a Marine? | Garp wanted Luffy and Ace in the Navy. A Marine Luffy who still follows his own sense of justice sets up a story where the crew forms inside the enemy. |
| What if Sabo got his memory back early? | Sabo forgets his brothers for twelve years. If he remembers before Marineford, the Revolutionary Army enters the war and the battle changes shape. |
| What if Shanks kept his arm? | Shanks gives his arm to save a child, and that moment gives Luffy his hat and his promise. Change it and the start of the whole series changes. |
How to write a what-if that reads well as manga
- Change one thing. Name the moment and the new choice in one sentence. Leave the rest of canon as it was.
- Start just before the change. Readers already know the scene, so the first page can drop them into it.
- Show the first consequence. End the chapter on the first thing that goes differently because of the change.
- Describe the characters once. Hair, eyes, outfit and one detail. Kon draws each main character from that and keeps the look on every page.
A chapter drawn by Kon has up to 6 pages and 16 panels. One or two scenes fill it. Our guide on how to write a manga script explains how a scene becomes panels.
