I would like to say that I'm changing the title of this story. This is going to be a trilogy instead of just one long story - a trilogy named;

Frozen: A Tale of Two Seasons.

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece or Frozen

Winter of 1822

It was the middle of the night when the loyal servant to the King and Queen of Arendelle, Kai had heard the call. When he had walked out into the midwinter chill, snow lightly falling around him and collecting on the ground of the bailey out before the castle doors. The serenity of the soft powder that graced the kingdom every year was always something that brought smiles to the faces of the subjects, but Kai found it oddly ominous.

His lantern's light struggled to expose the courtyard from the darkness that enveloped it. It crept up on him like a living entity. The night taking a heavy form that suffocated the castle within it, swallowing the light that so desperately tried to claim it's spot in the order; darkness was simply the absence of light. But when it started to consume the flame, to claim what was rightfully its, that was when he felt it.

An almost godly amount of force echoed from within the darkness, pushing out in all directions. He could hear the soft thuds of bodies unsettling the snow - the guards that had been assigned watch to the gate, most likely hadn't known what was happening before it was too late.

Kai's legs shook with fear, his eyes wide and pupils expanding to see into the center of the mass. The snow that had fallen peacefully was now uplifted and blasted into all feasible directions, some hitting him and pushing him to his back. He tried to push himself back up, to stand against the visible darkness but something warned him otherwise. All thought of standing shaken from his body as a foreign entity crushed any will he had left to get up - his head had gotten light and he assumed he was going to fall unconscious.

As soon as the force came it vanished, expelling the darkness to allow the moon's reflected rays to shine down on the ward. The snow continued to fall back down peacefully, filling the void on the ground where it had once previously settled. It felt so much like a dream or like a fleeting memory that Kai had to question if that any of the events had occurred. But when he spotted the collapsed guards at the gates he knew it had happened, and that it was all real.

Standing back up on wobbly legs; Kai set off to wake the men at watch but stopped upon looking at the center of the yard. Slowly getting covered in snow was the sleeping form of a child. Boots sinking into the snow was what pulled the servant out of his stupor; four armed guards in green had exited the castle, quickly moving towards him.

"Kai, what happened?" The one in charge spoke out quickly; his eyes had scanned the area around them for any sign of a threat. They had responded as fast as they could having been assigned to stand watch within the castle and being the closest to the cause of the force. Each one had felt it, neither one wanting to admit that they had come close to soiling their uniforms under the immense pressure. The guard in charge looked at the child on the ground, his brow raising quizzically. "Who is the boy?"

It was at that time that he realized that the child was indeed a boy, a little older than a year. Kai had a difficult time at first when trying to ascertain the child's gender; the fabric surrounding him were sizes too big for him, covering most of his features. But it came overly apparent when looking at his face - scarred beneath his left eye and poorly stitched up, his jet black hair a disheveled mess and a ragged straw hat lay by his head. Along with his torn clothing and the dirt covered hat wear, it was easier for Kai to label the boy as lower-class but his tanned skin spoke that he had not come from anywhere within the kingdom, or in the north for that matter.

Was this boy the cause of that force, he had asked himself. Kai immediately regretted even considering that a child of such an age could have done so. But how did he come to be here?

"Kai," He was startled by the shouting of the guard who had moved to stand over the child. The guard was curious about the boy, looking him over entirely from his now snow-covered hair to his torn clothes. He had come to the same conclusion as Kai: the boy was not from Arendelle. "What happened here? What did you see? Who is this child?"

"I-I know as much as you at the moment," Kai responded as he looked at the child and the deep crimson that was flowing around him. He and guards took a step back in shock, the servant examining the boy over again. His clothes covered in a similar crimson and spots of obsidian. The soot was being blown off him and onto the snow making a mixture of white, black and, red. His form was littered with bruises, shallow cuts that had been covered by a thin layer of the falling snow, and burns. "He's injured! The boy needs medical attention!"

Kai went and scooped the boy up in his arms, wrapping the clothes around him to keep him warm. The boy remained unresponsive, if it weren't for the fog from his breath Kai would have feared the worst. The guards stood by waiting to see if the servant needed either of them for assistance.

"I need you to wake Dr. Söderström," Kai ordered one of the guards. He nodded and made for the castle doors intent on waking the royal physician. The other guards stood by as Kai looked down to make sure that the boy was secure; turning to the three men he gestured to guards who were at the gate. "Make sure that they are okay."

"Shall I inform the King?" A guard that had been silent since arriving asked.

"No, I'll inform King Agnarr in the morning." Kai hastily made his way into the castle and out of the cold night. He made his way through the wide dark halls to where the physician's infirmary was. It would take him about a minute to reach the room, giving him enough time to think about what had happened.

Kai had awoken to a strange feeling in the middle of the night. He got dressed and grabbed his lantern, making his way to the bailey with the soft light from the flickering flame illuminating his way. The man had expected to find the guards at the gate tired, sharing a laugh over a story as they waited for their shift to end. But he was surprised by the almost tangible darkness that swallowed the yard. Then the force came as if the darkness was imposing itself upon the kingdom, suffocating all that were caught in it.

The boy at the center had something to do with it. But as Kai had noticed his wounded form, he took pity on the child and had absentmindedly unassociated the boy to the event. Considering the boy as an effect rather than the cause; he was there after the force, a byproduct of the darkness.

The boy is a bad omen, born of darkness, a cold sweat broke down his neck at that thought. Kai was coming to the infirmary and had no time to continue on that train of thought. The guard he had sent to wake the physician was positioned outside the door, standing at attention. When he got the door the guard moved and allowed Kai to enter.

Waiting in the room was Dr. Söderström; an aging man with pale skin and equally pale hair. He stood there patiently as Kai rushed into the room, concern for the child's health pushing all reason aside - again the events prior had been forgotten.

"Kai, I was told something serious has occurred." The physician stated, his eyes falling on the child in the servant's arms. Concern evidently filled him at the sight of blood on the young boy. Dr. Söderström made for one of the tables in the room and prepared the tools that he would need. "Come quick, rest the child here."

Kai nodded and moved towards the table, laying the boy on it. The torn clothes fell around the boy revealing more of his damaged torso. Kai cupped a hand to his mouth as he felt himself begin to retch. My God, the boy's body was cut and bruised like his face, but the worse was a large X shaped burn that decorated the center of his chest. It's like he's been branded, Kai thought in horror.

"He should count himself lucky," The physician said, "He'll need stitches for the lacerations and some ointment for his minor degree burns; that burn on his chest is already healed over so there is no need to worry. The only thing that is a cause for concern is his fatigue, he appears to be suffering from over-exhaustion and is unnaturally thin. Malnourished - the boy will need a lot of rest and water. When he wakes we'll start feeding him foods high in nutrition."

Kai listened to the doctor and felt the worry lift from his shoulders as the physician listed off what would need to be done for the boy's health. Everything was going to be alright. Dr. Söderström began to close his wounds and apply the ointment to the burns, seeing that there was nothing he could do for now Kai retired from the infirmary and returned back his room. He can worry about the boy in the morning, but he would be no help to him if he was himself exhausted.

~.:.*.:.~.:.*.:.~.:.*.:.~

It had been twelve hours since Kai had found the boy collapsed in in the courtyard. He had gone about his morning routine of checking in on the royal family along with Gerda, while also making sure that the chefs were prepared to make a high in nutrition meal for when the boy awoke. The servant had informed King Agnarr about the events that had transpired that night and wasn't at all surprised by the concern the monarch expressed for the boy.

Kai had been ordered to immediately report to the King when the boy had woken up. This had lead up to Kai's current mission. Dr. Söderström had a messenger sent to him, telling him that the boy was awake. He was now rushing to the dining hall to tell the King of the news.

He strode up to the doors and adjusted his suit before entering, making sure not to disturb the family enjoying their lunch. Kai noticed that the Queen was helping feed the year-old Princess Anna, and was in a conversation with her husband. Princess Elsa was seated by her sister, trying to get her to play with her. Kai felt terrible having to disturb their family time.

Luckily Agnarr had spotted him by the door and stood, dismissing himself from the table and walked over to Kai who bowed his head when the King passed him. The two exited the dining room and started making their way to the infirmary.

"I've been very interested in meeting our guest," Agnarr broke the silence. "What you had described finding him has me curious."

Kai remained silent not knowing what to say in response to the King of Arendelle. They arrived at the infirmary and entered, seeing Dr. Söderström examining their guest's now bandaged arms. It was hard to recognize the boy from last night, his bloodied bruised form was now replaced by countless bandages that wrapped around his torso and forehead - he looked more like a mummy now.

The physician stood as he saw the King approach his patient, they exchanged greetings as the physician moved so the King could speak with the boy. Kai moved to stand behind the King, wanting to know more about the mystery that had appeared within the darkness.

The boy looked at the two men with wide owl eyes, watching them curiously. At first, his attention was on the King's face, unblinking eyes that could stare into his soul before they dropped and examined his uniform. He reached out and tried to grab at one of the medals that were situated on his jacket.

"Shiny." The boy said as he tried to grab it. Agnarr looked down at the medals the boy was trying so desperately to play with. He gave out a heartfelt chuckle and removed one, handing it to the young boy. He grabbed the medal eagerly and held it before his face, staring at his reflection in the shiny material.

"Son," Agnarr said drawing the boys attention away from the medal. "Can you tell me your name?"

The boy took a moment to understand what was being asked of him, he looked at the medal in his bandaged hands before handing it back to its owner. Agnarr took it back gratefully, giving his thanks as he situated it back onto his jacket.

"Can you tell me your name?" He asked again.

"Luffy." The boy answered simply, not giving any more than what was asked of him.

"It's nice to meet you, Luffy. My name is Agnarr," The King said before gesturing behind him to the servant. "And this is Kai, he's the one who found you last night. Can you tell me where you are from?"

"Straw hat?" Luffy whined as he looked around the room. When he didn't find what he was looking for tears started to fill in his eyes, threatening to fall down his face. "Where?"

The King looked back at Kai with a raised brow, not understanding what the child was asking for. The servant had noticed the pained look that had framed the boy's face. "There was a straw hat with the boy when I found him, I didn't have time to grab it though."

"I see," Agnarr looked back at the boy, who was frantically looking around the room. If he turned his head any faster he would be in danger of breaking his neck, if he wasn't already. "Luffy, I'll have one of my guards look for your straw hat, alright?"

"Promise?" Luffy asked.

"I promise," The King replied. "But first you have to do one thing for me, okay?"

His answer was frantic nods from the boy, his tears receding now that he knew he would be getting his hat back.

"Can you tell me where you're from?" He asked while he had Luffy's attention. "If you tell me where you're from, I can help you get back home but first you'll have to help me. Do you know where your home is?"

"No."

"What about your parents, they're probably really worried about you right now. Do you know where they are?

"My parents?"

"Yes, your mother and father. I can imagine how terrified they must be not knowing where you are if you are alright. I have a little girl almost your age, Anna and another that's four, Elsa. I know that if one of them went missing I'd be worried, so do you know where you're mother and father are?"

"No."

The King was worried now. If the boy knew where he lived it would have been easier to help and get him home, back to his parents. But a child at his age would obviously have difficulty remembering exactly where it was without seeing a familiar landmark, and like Kai had explained to him; the boy didn't look like he belonged so far north.

"What about your parent's names, knowing them it would make the search easier."

"Names?"

"Yes, can you tell me their names?"

"No."

"Do…" Agnarr didn't want to ask this question. He feared that this would happen when he first heard an injured child was found on his doorstep. "Do you know your parents?"

"No."

King Agnarr frowned at the response, dread filling him as he stood and walked towards the door, Kai following behind him. Once they were in the hall, they closed the door so the boy couldn't overhear them.

"Doesn't know his parents," Agnarr mumbled to himself while shaking his head. "This is terrible."

"What are we going to do with Luffy, your majesty?" Kai asked. He honestly hadn't a clue as to what to do with the boy, and he hoped that the King would know what to do next. "I wouldn't feel right turning the boy away, and what about his wounds? Whoever did... that to the poor boy could still be out there."

"Turning him away was never an option." The King stated. "But I'm still curious about how he got here. Kai, you mentioned a force that was powerful enough to knock out two trained guards and expel a darkness that was dense enough to smother light. What if he…"

"Your majesty, you don't believe that the boy, that Luffy could be like Elsa?" Kai wanted to outright refuse to believe that the boy was capable of that, but as each second past and the memory of that night became clearer it seemed to be the only thing that makes sense. "Do you think he has magic?"

"I can't be for certain, but it's something that shouldn't be ignored." Agnarr looked at the door in thought. He just stared at the door for seconds on end, contemplating what to do with the child. It had only been a minute before the King had come to a decision on what to do with their guest Luffy. "We'll keep him here in the castle until he is healed. While he is here I want someone watching him at all times, to see if he is capable. If by the time he is well, and he portrays abnormal abilities I'll take him to Grand Pabbie and have him take a look at the boy."

"And for now?" Kai asked.

"Let's go see if we can find his straw hat." Agnarr began to walk down the hall intent on finding the headwear that the boy was worried about. "On the plus side, Elsa and Anna could benefit from having a new playmate."

Kai nodded in understanding, following after the King in search of the hat. He made a mental note to get the chefs to prepare the boy's meal to help him recover quicker.

~.:.*.:.~.:.*.:.~.:.*.:.~

Luffy was confined to the infirmary for the past three days, the same four walls and the nice doctor being his only company for the time. The shiny man and the man in green hadn't returned since the conversation, but in their place, a guard had come with his straw hat in his hand. He was content after getting it back and spent most of his time sleeping and eating the meals that were given to him. Luffy wasn't too sure where he was, what was going on, or why he was required to get rest; he would rather be exploring his new surroundings with a child's curiosity.

"Good morning Luffy," Dr. Söderström said as he appeared by the side of the bed. The physician began to look at the condition of the bandages and the stitches, seeing if he would need to replace any. He was happy with their condition and moved onto Luffy's. "How are you feeling today?"

"Can I leave?" Luffy asked.

"Not until I'm sure that your afflictions are healed."

Luffy looked down at his hands and the straw hat that was resting on his lap. He didn't want to rest anymore; Luffy knew he was fine and that all he would need from now on was food to sustain and heal him. When the physician asked him once again how he was feeling, he responded with a simple "Okay."

"That's good. I'll ask again later today, it's amazing how fast you are getting better. With this rate you can be on your feet in three more days maybe two."

Luffy didn't like the sound of that, he needed to get out of the infirmary now. But he had to wait until the doctor left him alone or he wouldn't be able to get out of the room.

~.:.*.:.~.:.*.:.~.:.*.:.~

The Queen of Arendelle had shared in her husband's curiosity concerning their guest. Iduna had yet to meet the boy Agnarr had called Luffy. Though this curiosity was also shared with both their children; Elsa was aware that there was another child in the castle and had become very impatient in wanting to meet the boy, and Anna knew that someone different was taking up her sister's attention.

Even Queen Iduna's best attempts at calming her children weren't enough. Elsa wouldn't quit pestering her or her father about seeing the boy, Iduna telling her that it wasn't becoming of the crown princess to be getting so worked up over something. Though the girl still didn't see reason. Iduna had even caught her daughter trying to sneak into the infirmary even after Agnarr explicitly told her not to disturb the boy while he healed. The King even went as far as placing a two-man guard detail by the door.

Elsa had eventually given up trying to get into the infirmary, sulking for an entire day. Iduna truthfully felt bad for both the boy and her daughter. She had heard of the boy's injuries from her husband and felt as if her heart was going to break. The Queen couldn't believe that it was possible for a boy so young to have suffered such terrible wounds.

Iduna had finally decided that she should meet the enigma known as Luffy. The Queen found herself moving through the many finely decorated hallways. She approached the infirmary and saw that Dr. Söderström was discussing something with the two guards, their backs to her. The infirmary door slowly opened without making a noise.

A small head popped out of the door with a straw hat too big for his head covering his eyes. He peered from under his hat at the guards and the physician; creeping out of the room he closed the door without a sound and started to tiptoe down the hall away from the three men.

Luffy wasn't watching where he was going as he bumped into something. He fell onto his backside with a thud, a surprised noise escaped his mouth. Looking up he was meet by the warm smile of a brown-haired woman. Luffy couldn't move, he knew that he was caught and that there was nothing he could do.

"Hello there," Iduna said bending down to be closer to the boy's level. "Where were you going?"

"N-Nowhere."

"Hey, what is the kid doing out here?" Luffy looked back to see that the guards and doctor had noticed his presence in the hallway.

"Luffy you were supposed to say in bed and rest." Dr. Söderström said as the two guards moved to grab the boy and take him back to the infirmary. Luffy looked at the guards with worry, he didn't want to go back to bed.

Luffy pushed himself up and made to run past the Queen but had his arm grabbed by one of the guards. He tried to wiggle his arm from the guard and succeeded; he ran past the wide-eyed woman and down the hallway. There was a tug on his arm that stopped him from going any further, confusing the young two-year-old boy.

"W-What the hell?" He heard a guard say.

Iduna looked in shock and disbelief - the boy's arm passed by her when he ran away but was still firmly held by the guard's hand. Luffy's arm had stretched the length of the hallway and the bandages that were wrapped around the limb fell off.

What is this, the Queen thought as her eyes trailed up the extended limb to the boy who was looking back in equal shock.

"My arm!?" Luffy cried upon seeing his arm behave in a way that wasn't normal.
