To whom it may concern; One Piece and it's cast are the works of the mangaka Eiichiro Oda. Seeing as I am not he, the only part of this fic that belongs to me is the storyline. Please enjoy, nonetheless.

This will be a Luffy x Vivi fic. Also note that this is my first ever fic, and that any advice will be appreciated, so long as it actually is advice. No griping at me if you don't like the pairing please.

Sorry if it's a little rough.

Prologue

"Inherited Will, the Destiny of the Age, and the Dreams of its People. These are things that will not be stopped. As long as people continue to pursue the meaning of freedom, these things will never cease to be!"

Pirate King Gol D. Roger

Absurd.

That was the only word to describe it.

The thought of a princess, the heir to a great kingdom, would fall in love with that man.

He wasn't a prince, yet he's the man who would rule the seas one day.

He wasn't a hero, yet he saves people wherever he goes.

He was a pirate. A young man with the dream to become the Pirate King and find the world's greatest treasure, One Piece. He truly loved life and adventure, and would do anything to protect those that were precious to him.

His name is Monkey D. Luffy.

She was a princess. To save her kingdom, she penetrated an evil organization that was planning the downfall of her country by means of a civil war. More than anything though, she wanted her countrymen to make peace with each other and stop fighting, even if she had to give her life to do so.

Her name is Nefeltari Vivi

When these two met in the Grand Line, neither of them guessed that their meeting would start the greatest adventure that anyone go on.

What adventure you ask? All will be told in good time, worry not.

This is the tale of the Straw Hat captain and the Desert Princess.

Welcome to their adventure.

Enjoy it? If so, please let me know. If not, feel free to give constructive feedback. I'm new to this, so I'd appreciate this.

P.S. There should be more Luffy x Vivi fics out there.
