So I love one piece and I fell in love with DnD. I do think DnD can be adapted to one piece fairly well. For instance, a normal person's Armor class can be 10 normally. It can be 20 when they bring out their swords to defend, and 100 if they are logia v.s a non haki attack. Other things are if we homebrew each player's abilities level by level, you can create and adapt your abilities based on what you want to accomplish. So an example of a level 1 and 2 ability(would be spell in DnD).
Here can see the difference between Luffy meeting big alva vs his fight against don krieg. So I think it will be fun to see players create bigger and better abilities(spells) that do a multitude of things. Spells in dnd have a bunch of benefits and weaknesses. Thunderwave for instance, creates a sound that can be heard for several feet, does collateral damage, and can make a room very messy. A move from one piece such as gum gum gatling gun, most likely would exhuast a player, destroys stuff around them(including players), and would require them to be locked in for two turns. This would make the attack deadly both for the target and the caster, who cant defend or dodge during that time.
I also believe that DnD at its base is simple.
1. Roll a 20 sided dice
2. see if its higher than the target's armor class
3. do damage
level 1: Gum gum bazooka
1 action
Player latches onto a sturdy object such as the railing of a ship or a big boulder to stretch their arms out as they walk forward. Then using their own strength, the player releases their arms out forward to send their fists flying toward their target. Strength and Dexterity modifiers are taken into account. Roll a 1d4 if you hit with one fist and a 2d4 if you hit with two.
This is what I'd consider a starter spell. It requires the gum gum user to use their environment to create the necessary force to send people flying like he did in the anime. It takes his attributes into account.
level 2: Gum gum rifle
1 action
Player swings their arm back and keep its straight so that it can stretch out before being sent back to their target as a punch. Strength and dex modifiers are taken into account. Roll a 1d6.

This could really help make the rp feel more like one piece. We don't have to worry about overpowered since the dice decide what happens. And hp is really useful for when you have really tanky characters who get shot, stabbed, and burned alive...yet they seem to still be alive. In DnD that's an endurance check and having at least one hp lol. I think DnD can make the absurd world of one piece come to life by giving the players choice and the ability to write their own crazy scenarios....and possibly lose doing it. It offers a lot of customization and freedom to the players and it's just fun being a bad guy that can try to kill his players, but also be happy when they beat him.
This will require a lot of tweaking. Mostly with player's desired powers. But if you want a structured rp that takes gold and exp points into account, this might be up your alley. I still want this to be a narrative rp, but it's a narrative rp where you can die.
The plot: The former pirate queen, Esmeralda D. Antonio Santiago, proclaimed the world is flat and that she left her treasure at the end of the world. With a grin befitting a devil, crimson flowed from her skewered body as energized cheers flowed from her audience. Tales of a woman who fought naval fleets with one hand tied behind her back still float through taverns now and then. Most believe she accomplished this with her treasure. Others thought she could use her treasure to hire people to give her powers, such as the mad scientist who brought his wife back to life in the new world. One thing's for sure, the masses wanted this treasure for the simple fact that it represented a golden ticket, in a dog eat dog world, where the strong oppressed the weak. So now pirates from all around the world set sail for the grand line, searching for one piece, the treasure that will make their dreams come true. :3
