Warnings: In this story there will be m x m, non con, dub con, blood, gore, swearing and violence please if you cannot stand any of these things do not read this story, or be cautious when reading it.

This isn't a modern story, but it isn't based on the actual storyline either. Many of the One Piece characters will appear, none of whom I own! I just enjoy writing about different situations to put some of my favourite characters into. I have the whole plot typed up and as long as things don't change there may even be a sequel to this story (as long as people actually enjoy this story first).

I am still very new to writing, so any reviews/criticism will help me improve greatly, to see what I'm doing currently correctly or what I am doing wrong. Please and thank you.

Prologue

Kid was pretty much used to being dragged everywhere in shackles and at weapon point, then again most of the 'workers' here were treated with the same curiosity, the guards being all-so-generous towards them. Today had been a bit of a change though, after the lumpy gruel the guards came into his cell, but instead of holding a pick-axe they held a piece of cloth, which had been quickly tied around his eyes.

Now he was being yanked about by his arm, his hands firmly cuffed together, striding up flights of stairs and striding down the corridors. The long travel of going up and down the stairs, turned around and lead to another hall, taken back to same way, it was probably meant to confuse him, but his escort didn't succeed fortunately, Kid could easily remember his route if he needed to go back. All Kid needed to do was some simple backtracking. Or just jump out a window.

His ears caught the loud, booming creak of the doors being forced open ahead of them and soon his escort shoved him through, nearly sending him crashing to his knees as he bit back a snarl at the treatment. Then his blindfold was yanked off, the royal emblem was immediately waved in his face, embroidered on the uniform his escort was wearing.

"So this is the man the King's fiancé wanted." A masked man approached, turning to look over at his escort, though his features were covered by a hood. "Are you sure about this... Law?"

"Yes." 'Law' nodded, lowering the hood covering his face, Kid grinned at the grey stormy eyes, they looked disinterested in everything. He could pay for not paying attention to him sooner or later. "Eustass Kid was the one wanted."

"Wanted for what exactly?" Kid snorted out, derailing his attention to the conversation, he didn't know what these idiots wanted, but it wasn't probably anything good.

The guard glanced around the room, men were stationed at each pillar, looking smart and shielded in their uniforms, but Kid knew better than anyone if you threw a knife or dagger the right face you'd get their throats or faces. Law caught his attention though, nodding his head towards the door, dismissing them but looked over to the masked man. "Penguin, stay."

Weren't they underestimating him a little bit?

Law then turned away and strode over to a table, filled with fruits and sat down, offering Kid a lazy smirk as he crossed his legs, shit those were long, almost like a wo- "How would you like to play a 'game' with some champions South's Assassin?"

Kid felt himself smirk back after hearing that, this guy had a gleam in his eyes that interested him. "And what game would that be?"

"Have you heard that the war is coming to an end now?" Law asked, making Kid frown at the avoidance, so he kept quiet just to see if he could bug the guard, the bastard just flowed right with it though. "No? Then you should know the leaders of the war are coming to meet each other in Dressrosa's main city. King Doflamingo is going to host a tournament lasting twelve days, each leader shall get to pick a 'champion' to play in the tournament. Since the King is the one holding the peace treaty he gets to name the winner of the tournament his 'Champion' one who shall work for him and complete any errands he likes."

"So what does this have to do with me?" Kid sneered, he could feel himself growing bored.

Law smirked playfully. "The King has allowed his fiancé to choose a 'champion' and so I was told to ask the South's 'great assassin' to become their Champion and win the contest."

"And what would I get for winning?" Kid made sure to ask, feeling a bit more interested now, after all if these games were any fun he might actually consider joining in, the mines weren't that entertaining after a while.

"The King said you'll no longer need to be the mine's prisoner, after six years of service to him. That is, if you win."

Kid scowled, there was always a catch. "And if I don't win?"

"Then you'll be sent back into the mines to work until you die."

Kid gritted his teeth, frustrated. "And who are my competitors?"

Law lazily waved a hand, looking bored, the smug bastard. "Most are criminals looking for a way out of their current predicaments, and some are fierce knights, bound by honour, some other's have been picked because of their skill and loyalty. None as famous as the assassin from the South, though their have been some... Rumours running a muck."

The masked guy who was allowed to stay, Penguin then caught his attention."We don't know if they are competing yet Law."

"Most likely they will be, Shanks-ya seems to trust Straw Hat-ya a great deal."Law murmured, curiously. "And who wouldn't pick Marshall to compete? He's been getting a reputation lately."

"Yes but Captain Marco from the Whitebeard Company captured him."

"After Marshall took out their leader and a few more men yeah." Law seemed to snort because laying his eyes back on Kid. "Anyway Eustass-ya, I think it's time I got your answer. Will you fight as a champion?"

Kid glared down at his cuffs before glancing out the window, remembering the smoke filled skies clouding his vision everyday and the dark cells sapping away his strength day by day, stinking of death. "Of course I'm going to take the offer." Law looked pleased but Kid wasn't finished, he couldn't even hold back the smirk forming on his lips. "But I'll be the Champion if you agree to free me in two years."

Law surprisingly looked amused, while Penguin looked like he was going to protest. "Three years. If you win and after three years of service as the King's champion you shall be released."

Kid couldn't resist a chuckle. "I'm surprised a lowly guard is allowed to bargain for the King."

"Well unfortunately for you Eustass-ya, I'm one of the King's elites." Law offered with an all too smug smile, grinding on Kid's nerves. "And I'm also the one who will be escorting you to the castle, where the tournament will be held."

"So when do we leave?" Kid felt himself sneer, the sooner this tournament was finished, the faster he'd be free.

"Tonight." Law hummed, glancing over at Penguin before standing up. "I'll leave the preparations to you Penguin."

"Are you sure you don't want to stay overnight?" Penguin frowned. "We've been riding for a month."

"There are places to stay along the road." Kid was surprised to see Law offer the masked man a smile, though it was only brief. Still though... That smile... "Unless you need a break?"

"Of course not Captain. I'd follow you anywhere." Penguin seemed to beam, even though he was wearing that damned helmet that masked everything above his neck.

Law snorted, rolling his eyes before wandering over to Kid and grasping his arm and yanking him up. "Come on Eustass-ya, I'll show you to your room where you can get cleaned up and eat something before we head off."

This was it, Kid was going to get out of this hell. He was going to be free and all it would take was to win a tournament and service some idiot rich King for three years.

Then he'd be long gone.
