Full Summary:
AU. This story follows the basic plot line of the movie 1987 The Princess Bride. With the characters switched around and personalities a bit altered. Follow Robin (Buttercup) in her quest to regain her lost love Zoro (Westley) and topple the evil Prince Lucci (Humperdink).

This story idea came to me while watching the movie on Netflix. The characters just seemed to flow with One Piece so I decided to just kind of switch things around. There are however some missing characters in the movie for the ones I want to use, so they're my own interpretation of their position in the movie. For example, Sanji. Wow, that sounded confusing. Anyway, you'll see.

This chapter 1 is only a teaser. There will be more coming, but not for a while. So, read, enjoy, and review!

Chapter 1 – The Story

The videogame beeped loudly, signaling that all the zombies had been completely reduced to ashes thanks to his awesome fire bomb attack. The young boy reclining in his bed let out a whoop, grinning and throwing the controller above his head. It fell from his relaxed hand and cracked against his skull, causing the boy to hiss in pain. He grumbled to himself and rubbed a hand through his shaggy black hair.

The game beeped again, and the young freckled boy watched as suddenly, all his high scores were deleted. Something must have happened when he dropped the remote!

"Noo!" He wailed, throwing the controller across his room where it crashed into the opening door, nearly hitting the older man entering.

"Hey, Ace," The older man said, chuckling and picking up the broken controller where it lay on the ground at his feet. "You need to be more careful with your things. Are you feeling any better?"

The twelve year old boy shook his head, pouting his lip and sliding back into his pillows. "No. I still have a headache." And dropping the controller didn't help much either, he added, sulking.

Grandpa laughed heartily, pulling up a chair to sit by his grandson's bed. His small legs and large torso huffed loudly as he settled into the small stool. He stroked his thick silver goatee and grinned. "Well, I got something here that might cheer you up." Grandpa Garp slid a small wrapped package to his young grandson.

Ace lunged for the parcel like a hungry dog to meat. Maybe it was a new videogame! One he could play while pretending to be sick again. Or maybe it was that new Batman movie that came out a few weeks ago! Or it could be a –!

"A book?" Ace said, his voice dripping with disappointment as he pulled the wrapping away to reveal a small, leather bound book. It wasn't anything special, a simple book with a brown cover. The Princess Bride was written in a gold calligraphic script near the top. In the center of the cover a silver sword with a white hilt was crossed with a black rose, a red ribbon tying them together.

"This is not just any book," Grandpa said, taking the gift and flipping through the pages. It rustled softly like wind between the leaves. Every now and then, a picture would appear; Ace spotted a tall man, probably in his early twenties, wielding three swords. Another showed a beautiful black-haired woman, her blue eyes bright and knowledgeable. "This is the book my father would read to me when I was sick, and I read it to your father when he was sick, and now I'll read it to you."

"Does it have any fire in it?" The young pyromaniac said, his tone slightly bored.

"Are you kidding?" Grandpa waved his hands as he spoke. "Fencing, fighting, torture! Revenge, giants and monsters! Chases, escapes, true love! Miracles! It's better than these video games."

What's better than video games? Ace wanted to retort, but he knew that would only get a bonk on the head, and he knew exactly how painful those were. "I guess it sounds okay,"

"Ace?" A tall, blonde haired woman opened the door, peering into her son's bedroom. "Oh, Garp. When did you get here? Aren't you on duty today?"

"Oh, Rouge, you are so naïve sometimes," Grandpa chuckled. "I'm giving Ace a gift. The Police Station can handle it without me for a day."

Ace's mother raised an eyebrow, her dark chocolate brown eyes marking her as skeptical. "Don't take too long. He has a doctor's appointment in a few hours."

Ace bit his lip. Crap! I'm not really sick! Maybe if I get Grandpa to read that book, we'll skip the appointment!

"But Grandpa's going to read the book to me," Ace blurted out. "If he goes over, do I have to go?"

Rouge smiled, glad her son was finally taking an interest in books. "Fine. But take a Tylenol first."

Ace grudgingly did so, gasping as he choked a bit on the water.

Once Rouge had left, Garp let out a roar. "You just want to get out of that appointment, Mr. Sickness, right?"

Ace grinned halfheartedly. He knew better than to try and fool his grandfather.

"Well, I know exactly what you mean. So here, I'll read it to you."

"I'll try and stay awake," the young boy said, stifiling a yawn.

"Oh, well thank you very much," Grandpa said sarcastically, removing his hat and placing it on Ace's beside table. Grandpa pulled his reading glasses from inside his coat pocket. He opened the book to the first page as his grandson made himself comfortable among the mountain of pillows on his bed, accompanied by a box of extra-spicy Cheetos.

"The Princess Bride," Grandpa Garp began, clearing this throat. "By S. Morganstern. Chapter one. Robin was rais –"

"Wait!" Ace said suddenly. Grandpa looked up questioningly. "Is there going to be any kissing in it?" Ace curled his lip in a disgusted fashion. "I hate kissing."

"Well, maybe we'll skip the kissing parts," Grandpa chuckled. "Okay, we'll begin again."

Robin was raised on a small farm…

Chapter 1, complete! Thus ends the teaser, so now let's see what you think. If you have seen the 1987 version of the Princess Bride, you'll be able to discern what things I have added and taken out, et cetera. If you haven't, at the end of the fic I can post a website you can go to in order to watch the movie for free online. It's really fantastic effects for 1980s.
