One Piece - The Singer's Secret

Hello, so here's a story I invented during hearing a song. The whole story is like it's based on a song, but don't worry is my own creation, full of turn, romance, agony, fame, fans, fears, dtama, betrayal and etc.. I won't spoit it :d

It's an AU enviroment with often OC carachters. I tried to keep them as real as possible, but due to the story they'll have different characteristics.

You should know all of the music is from: Thousand Foot Kruch. Every music that'll be in the story is specially choosen for their lyrics and tune and etc and from this band. so I suggest you to hear it out, I think they good songs, and if might be important for you could'd better understand what's happening.

Disclaimer: I'm only going to write it once, so listen up people! I don't own One Piece or any of the songs that're in the story. I just love music, love One piece and had a little free time.

I hope you'll like it! Have fun!

Prologue – New band

An orange haired, beauty was working at her desk for 4 hours now, she was tired, that's for sure, but she had to finish her report, about her last article. It's going to be an another amazing story. She's a journalist, and a one, that especially good at figuring out famous people secrets and write it for news without, without her name at the end of course, she doesn't want any kind of trouble because her name appeared and she got credit, she likes being anonymous. She's been working on those last few sentences, but her colleagues started speaking of something that caught her interest.

"Did you see them too?" Asked the too excited brown-haired assistant her blonde-haired friend.

"Of course, I saw them! They were fantastic last night! I can't believe they so young and so talented! I wish i'd be a little younger and I could go out with one of them!" The brown-haired lady just nodded her head fanatic, showing her full agreement.

"I think they name was One Piece, it's soo~ mysterious, I'm really interested in them! And don't even start with the music, it was so awesome, really catchy, and they said it's their original song, so it makes it even better!" Here, both of them squealed a little form excitement, like some teenage girls whose crush just looked at them.

Nami was getting really annoyed by their conversation, as soon she heard it was some king of talent show, and that new favourite band, she wasn't as interested as before. Thanks for her work, she met a lot of similar story and person, but it's always a facade, they just playing the good boy, they always rotten in the inside, she could not stand that kind of people, so she never really felt regret after playing with them, searching for they secret, then crush them by with the power of grace. They were standing right next to her desk, and she could hear everything despite she did not want. A little into their conversation, she couldn't bear it and groaned a little. The two fade their chat almost an instant and looked at her questionably.

"Nami, what's the matter? If we've been bothering you, you should just have said so." said the brown-haired woman, afraid their speaking been disturbing her work.

Nami immediately waved them off, saying it's not a problem than smiled. "No! That's not it, I just can't help but disagree with your enthusiasm. I can't believe that they're real, that what you saw in the show, isn't just a play." Than she just shrugged waiting for their reaction.

The blonde haired one smirked at that "I think their singer could be your type, he's cute with an incredible grin and an unbelievable talent behind him." The brown one laughed a little than continued. "yeah! don't be so pessimistic, I get that after your job you're a little pessimistic, but don't give up on them, I think they really special!" They both nodded at that and left her thinking about what they said. She just rolled her eyes not really touched by they encourage.

Later that day, our journalist just stepped in a caffe shop, near her workplace. It's a little shop on the corner. On the door there're little green and brown coloured flower patter, and it's goes across the walls and furnitures. It gives the place a little harmony. She often comes here to think, to change the environment while working on an article, but now, she just going to see her friend and talk. Nami sits down on her favourite seat next to the window. As she was waiting, the radio started a new song, it started low, but soon it exploded and caught her attention.

As the song flows she can't ignore it anymore, it catches her attention so much, she got to know what's it called. She went to the counter to ask about it. The girl behind the desk is also into the music, so almost missed as Nami approached her.

"Do you know this song?" Asked Nami a little sheepishly, still totally feeling the music within her. The emotions it gives are incredible. The girl's smile widened "Yeah! I love this song, it's the One Piece's song. They sang it yesterday at the show. You didn't see it? They were awesome! I can't wait for their next performance!" Said the girl with enthusiasm in her.

"It's their original song, it's called: Courtesy Call. It's my new favourite song! And of course, they my new favourite band too!" The girl now had hearts in their eyes. Nami just stared at her, not believing that somebody talking about them again, and with so much passion. They just appeared yesterday for crying out loud! What could they've done to make everybody love them so much? Plus, their song's being play by the radio! OK, she won't argue with the song, because that's indeed good, not that she'd admit it, but still.

The girl took out her phone seeing Nami frozen and searched for their show. Nami got out of her thoughts as a video was shown into her face. She almost had to step one back, because of the sudden move. As she looked the performance she couldn't help but look at them all, inspect their movements, their face, their everything and her eyes stuck on one particular.

The singer with his raven, unruly hair, big dark eyes, a scar under his left eye. The concentration on his face, his motions as he live through every sound, every tune. It's just fascinating, the empathy he's showing with the song is everything but what she's imagined. During the singing he's concentrating, and as it all ends he looks up, the camera just in front of him, as the pressure decrease and for a tiny moment, he grins an unbelievable, but as fast is came it went and a sheepish smile stayed in place instead.

She couldn't believe it, that little flash of smile, it showed everything but at the same time nothing. She felt herself blush at that. 'I can't believe myself, what the hell is wrong with me? It's just a grin, nothing special!' She was screaming in her mind as soon as she got herself smile back at the picture in front of her. Almost too fast, she thanked the counter lady and stormed back to her place. A little bush still of her face. Than the little bell ringed above the door indicating somebody stepped in. Nami looked up, and saw her friend Vivi. She tried to slow her heart rate to look as normal as possible and not think about it anymore.

Nami was walking home after the afternoon with Vivi. Fortunately, Vivi only brought the boys once up, so it wasn't as awkward. But nonetheless, she was still thinking about their music. It just didn't want to go out of her mind. As she walked absentmindly, she noticed a glimpse of a big, black car, that stick out of the others on the road. She didn't know why, but it's just did. The car's right-hind window was pulled down, and she saw right into the, by the way, darkened-windowed car.

She saw a person, then three other, whose song've been playing in her mind all day. Their laughter sounded out across the street. The raven-haired man just glimpsed out of the window for a second, and their eyes met. His face lost the smile almost an instant and just stared into her face. His face was blank, no emotion as they bore into each other's eyes.

The three in the car noticed the lack of laughter from the raven. As the car drove away and they left the girl, he was still gazing after her direction. The green haired guitarist asked his friend

"Hey Luffy, you with me?" Luffy just shook one on his head to clear his mind, then turned to his worried friend.

"Yea, I'm fine Zoro. No worries." He said a little quiet, but then smiled a bit to reassure them, about what happened a minute ago.

"What happened?" Asked the blonde bass guitarist.

"Luffy, c'mon tell us!" Continued the long-nosed drummer. All of them on the edge, waiting if it was about something, that could cause Luffy to snap.

The moment flew away, so as his sudden mood change. He was starting to forget her face already so there's nothing to worry about. Now a much calmer, a bigger grin appeared on his face, and said

"Don't worry guys! Ok, she was staring at me strangely and that smacked me out of everything. But now she's gone, and we'll probably never see her again.".

"Luffy, you sure? You were paling by the second." Said Zoro again, showing his concern for the younger man. Luffy dropped his smile seeing they weren't budging. His mouth formed a thin line, as his jar stiffened a little

"She was staring, but not as the girls usually staring, she was different and I don't know why. All I know is that the look on her suddenly was like hers, but not similar at the same time." He said quieter then before, but still looked at them each. The determination showed in his composure. The three just nodded at that, acknowledging his attempt, to try and be strong when he's obviously freaking out in the inside.

As the car drove away, Nami was just looking after it. The expression on his face was something she never saw before, she met several famous people, but never did one of the had that kind of first expression of her. His eyes like windows into his soul, and at first as that long, almost slow-motion moment went, his face looked happy, free, but then he acknowledged her, his brain processed it through, his countenance dropped, his eyes showed fear. Those once happy, carefree eyes changer into desperate, scared ones, and she got to admit, that was astounding.

But the moment went with the car and he along with it.

She was looking at the direction they went, and the song still in her mind the lyrics carer then ever. Then his face with those eyes flashed right in front of her. Those eyes were haunter by something, as well as now her too by them. She started to compare the song's lyrics with what's behind those eyes.

'How come nobody thought about it before, or was it, that nobody saw him like that before?' Nami's mind was working hundred times over. His visage burned into her eyes.

At home Nami was doing her usual evening routine to prepare for the night. She had a bath, brushed her hair, her teeth, but she was absentmindly the whole time. She laid in her bed gazing at the ceiling, like trying to figure it out if it'd break if she stared at it long enough. The song was still playing in her mind, without missing a beat Then she remembered the show recording, the counter lady showed her. He was so... indescribable, especially after what happened on the street. Her thoughts didn't let her relax, she was tired, but couldn't sleep. She took her phone from the nightstand next to her bed and searched out their band name. There was already a lot of picture of them from the show, and then the music show's next transmission. She promised herself that she's going to watch it next time, and follow their progress. Maybe that was her curiosity lets her relax for the mean time. She'll figure out his secret on her own.

Soon you'll find out the rest...

I hope I could make it exciting enough to count on you reading the next chapter!

So thank you again for readin' and see you 'till next time! ;)
