In a small kingdom in the North Blue ruled by devils, there lives a young prince. Growing up in the castle, the prince was, for a lack of the better word; bored. The same routine with the same servants, the same high class food, everything was getting predictable. That's why he was looking forward to today, it was a special day his 16th birthday, the day he would get his evil pieces. Magic chess pieces that were used to resurrect the dead back to the world of the living, breaking the kiss of death on the one it was used on. He had always planed to use them to build a pirate crew and sail the sea.
He was now riding a train, to the location where he would get his evil pieces. To get the one thing how to shape his own destiny. He wanted to use them to find the one piece. the treasure itself was not important has he had all the wealth he could ask for, being royalty. He was in it for the adventure, the excitement, and the fun he would have as a pirate. Trains were rare and few in his world, not many Islands have them. He had even heard of one that ran on water somewhere in the grand line. The particular train he was on, was on its way the world of the devils. It was there that he would go and get his evil pieces.
The train ride is rather dull and boring but his mind was on the possible new household members he would have. He thought of what kind of people he would resurrect, what kind of cool and unique powers that they would have.
The prince himself was a very good looking guy. He was very muscular with brown hair and green eyes as bright as emeralds. With his looks he could have probably gotten any girl in the kingdom to fall for him. But for him, girls from his kingdom were dull and unattractive. He wanted to see all the exotic beauties of the world. He carried around a kantana to use in combat. Years of combat training with the finest private tutors, had given him almost unparalleled swordsmanship.
"Next stop the realm of the devils! All passengers getting off, please be ready!" The voice of the conductor said over the loudspeakers.
He gets off the train and heads towards the Palace of Sirzechs, also known as lord Satan. He had been to the devil's Realm before a few times with his parents, but the site of Sirzechs always amazed him. The sheer size of it made his own castle look like a small house. The only way to get a set of evil pieces, was to touch a statue in the courtyard of Sirzechs' palace. He approaches the gate to the palace, the guards stop him.
"Halt! You approach the palace of lord Satan, state your business."
"My name is Nathaniel Arystar, heir to the house of Arystar. I am here to get my evil pieces."
"Very well, welcome lord Arystar. May your house, be strong, and powerful. " The guard steps aside.
He walks to the big statue of a king chess piece, and touches it.
Back home high above the kingdom in the mountains, there is a small village. A village full of yuki-onna, where a young girl comes home.
She had beautiful features, pale skin that was as soft as snow, a C cup chest, beautiful light purple hair that was shoulder length, and the most beautiful blue eyes. Being that she was a yuki-onna her eye color was not quite normal. Where most would have black pupils, hers were just a darker shade of blue. She typically wore a white shirt with Navy blue sleeves, and a black tank top underneath, as well as a green checkered skirt, and bright purple and pink striped socks that went just past her knees.
She just graduated from a boarding school called Yokai Academy. She had had her heart broken during her senior year, by someone she cared for. She had fallen in love with a boy, but he had chosen a vampire over her. While glad because she knew the vampire with take good care of her love. She was still heartbroken, because he had not chosen her. Her mother was waiting for her to come home.
When she finally arrives she is greeted by her mother. Her mother hugs her and asks "So, my dear where is Tsukune? I thought you would have brought him back here with you. " The mother in question just as beautiful her daughter, she had eyes the same color as her daughters, but her hair was white. she typically tended to wear a white kimono.
She was eccentric and always trying to find a way to get her daughter a man.
She hugs her mom tightly and says.
" Mom I failed, he chose Moka over me." She starts to tear up and cry. "I don't know what to do. Tsukune chose Moka after I tried so hard to show him my love."
"Don't worry Mizore it will be okay. Tsukune was an amazing boy, but maybe he wasn't right for you. Try to find someone more local, possibly someone from the kingdom down the mountain. Come on let's go into down there and do some shopping, help take your mind off of him."
They walk into town not even realizing what is happening on the other end.
Other side of town
A Marine ship pulls up on the shore, and off gets one of the three admirals. The Admiral walks up to someone and asks.
"Excuse me can you help me with something? I'm looking for Monkey D. Dragon. We'd heard rumors that he was on is this island, And I was hoping you could help me find him."
The Villager looks over and sees the Man who was asking him this question. "I'm not telling you anything. Dragon freed us from your tyranny and exposed the government for what they really are. You are nothing but a corrupt organization and we won't let you destroy our Kingdom."
The Admiral pushes up his glasses and says." Fine I was planning to do this without violence but looks like you leave me with no choice."
His body starts to glow a faint yellow color until it becomes extremely bright. He then moves, so fast it almost seems like he teleported. His foot comes down on the guy's head, knocking the guy out. The Admiral starts becoming surrounded by guards as the citizens mustered their bravery to try to take him down. He starts using his powers of light, to move around to take the guards out. A couple of stray shots of light fly in different directions, destroying buildings and other objects. A stray shot flies through a building and hits the girl and her mother, as they were shopping.
Back with the young prince
He gotten his evil pieces, and boarded the train back home. As the train starts nearing the station, it seems to stop abruptly. The voice comes over the loudspeaker and says.
" Excuse me we have an unexpected delay, as it appears that the kingdom is under attack. "
Not wanting to wait for the train Nathaniel goes into his devil form and flies out the window of the train. He flies over the kingdom to see if he could find the cause of the attack. As he flies over the Town Center, he sees a guy shooting beams of light at the guards. "Wait it couldn't be? Why would an admiral of the Marines be attacking, unless they found out our ties to Dragon."
The Admiral in question was an extremely tall guy, with glasses and a yellow striped suit. Nathaniel flies above the Admiral and retracts his wings. He drops down in front of the Admiral and says." Hello, would you mind telling me Admiral Kizaru is doing here our Little Kingdom?"
"Well I was looking for Dragon the Revolutionary, but I guess he's not here. So I think I might just be leaving now."
"I don't think so you're not going anywhere after all the destruction you caused!"
He draws his katana and gets into a fighting stance. He charges at Admiral Kizaru, and tries to strike. The Admiral quickly dodges the blow by moving faster than the speed of light. He then quickly overpowered the young prince in sheer power alone.
"You know what kid, that was a pretty brave move. Dragon isn't here, so I'm going to leave. I'm going to leave you alive because now I'm curious to see what you're going to do. Things have been pretty boring, since the war of the best, 1 year ago. "
The Admiral turns and walks away. By war he was referring to the battle at Marine HQ about a year ago. Whitebeard one the 4 pirate emperors, and his armada had tried to save their 2nd division commander Portgus D. Ace from being executed. When the battle was over, Ace and Whitebeard had both been killed. The war was only ended because Shanks another of the emperors stopped it. The marines stopped because, they knew in their weakened state, Shanks had the advantage.
The prince would have gone after the admiral, he had to worry about his people. It looked like the damage had not been too severe. A couple of dead guards, but no villagers had been hit. The village looked a mess from all the that have collapsed from the Admiral's light beams. As he walks through the town he hears a woman crying. He follows the sound to a woman, with snow white hair and a white kimono.
" Excuse me ma'am but why are you crying?"
She turns to look at him and says, " she is dead!"
Nathaniel comes close to her and asks "Who is dead?" Something about her was familiar, he couldn't remember why though. He got distracted for a minute trying to guess why she seems so familiar.
"My daughter is dead, my Mizore is gone!" The prince sees the woman's daughter and that's when it hits him. The reason he knew her, was because he had played with Mizore few times when he was younger. When he was little, he would venture outside of the castle and go exploring in the mountains above the town. Every so often while exploring, he played with Mizore, the mysterious little snow girl. She was something called a yuki-onna, a being of snow and ice.
" Excuse me ma'am but, I may have a way to bring her back. However, if I do, I plan on leaving this Kingdom and becoming a pirate. If I bring her back, I would make her part of my crew."
The woman looks at him with a glint of hope in her eyes. " Do it! If you have a way to save my daughter, please do it Prince Nathaniel."
The prince thinks for a second, about what piece to use. After a moment of thought, he finally chooses one. He pulls the evil piece out of his pocket. He couldn't believe that his crewmate would be an old friend of his." I will need her full name, to revive her."
"Mizore Shirayuki" the mother replies.
As Nathan placed the chess piece in Mizore's hand, his brain is going crazy with anticipation. He was finally taking the first step on his journey. "I Nathaniel Arystar call upon the soul Mizore Shirayuki. Hear my call, and be reborn as a member of the house of Arystar."
Mizore begins to glow, and levitate off the ground a bit. After a moment or two she stops levitating and opens her eyes.
"Mom what happened? Why do I feel so strange?" Her mom hugs her extremely tight.
"I thought I'd lost you, but the prince was able to save you. He brought you back to me. Some strange beam of light came through the building and hit you. whatever it was, I don't know but it took you from me." she turns to Nathaniel. " Thank you my prince, you have saved my daughter. I know she must join your crew, but thank you. If you call yourself her captain, then you must promise me you will keep her safe."
"She was killed by Admiral Kizaru and I promise I will keep her safe, but let me explain what I did. While she still is a Yuki-Onna, she is now also a devil. A devil in service to the house of Arystar. She has been brought back using the queen evil piece. She is now the Queen of my household." He turns to Mizore. " Are you willing to come with me, and become a pirate?"
She nods and says, " Yes I will. Plus, I remember you. You were my only friend when I was younger, And I would be happy to serve as a member of your house."
"Good that's great, let's go! But first we're going to need a ship, I think those Marines left a unit here with a ship. Let's go steal it! Oh, and just call me Nathan, no Prince or Captain stuff, just Nathan."
"Very well Nathan, let's go get ourselves a ship!"
Mizore and Nathan run to the harbor and see the ship. A big Marine ship with the typical Marine's symbol of a seagull on the flag and sails. They approach the docks a marine stops them." I'm sorry sir, but I can't let you come any farther" the Marine says.
"That's okay because we are taking the ship, and there's nothing you can do to stop us. " he stabs the Marine with his sword.
All of the Marines on the ship start coming to aid their fallen comrade. after all of the years of combat training the prince had, these marines seem like nothing. Mizore was freezing them all in blocks of ice. They make quick work of the Marine soldiers. They were lucky that the admiral has left or things would not have been so easy. After all the Marines were defeated, a thought occurred to the prince.
"Damn, we need more people to sail the ship! "
" That's not a problem," Mizore says. She makes 6 clones of herself. Nathan stares at the clones they looked like almost exact copies of his new Queen" These are my ice dolls they can fill the void until we get more people."
"That's great! Now set a course for the grand line."
