Chapter One: Before We Left
"Roci!" A five year old who wore the traditional Celestial Dragon garb said to his four year old brother. "It's going to be Lily's birthday soon! Let's make her a card!"
"Okay!" Rocinante agreed.
"Make?" Another Celestial Dragon who was passing through the hallway had overheard them. "Why would you make something? That's what slaves are for!"
"Slaves?" Doflamingo asked.
"Of course! All humans are beneath us Gods!" The Celestial Dragon told him. "Come with me,"
The Celestial Dragon, Yuno, led them through the halls. They had to take it slowly since Rocinante tripped a few times. Yuno led them to a room filled with people who wore ragged clothing. Those people looked like they haven't eaten in a while. Once they saw Yuno, they immediately got into a position that showed respect towards him. "What are those things around their necks?" Doflamingo asked.
"They're bomb collars," Yuno explained. "If they disobey, kill them with a click of a button. So what do you want to give to your sister?"
"We want a card!" Doflamingo ordered. "The bestest card in the world! It better make her happy or I'll explode you guys!"
"Doffy," Rocinante said quietly. "I wanna help make the card,"
"Pfft," Doflamingo said. "Didn't you hear Saint Yuno? These people are below us! Let them do all the work!" He then turned back to the slaves.

Liliana's POV
Today was my tenth birthday. One of my younger brothers, Doffy, the older one, handed me a card. I opened it up and was expecting slightly sloppy handwriting and their cute little pictures that they draw. I was surprised to see that the words HAPPY BIRTHDAY were written in neat cursive. 'Doffy and Roci can't write in cursive and this isn't Mother or Father's handwriting!' I also noticed that the pictures were not of their creation either.
"Who made this card?" I asked them.
"We had the slaves do it," Doffy told me.
I froze. "Doffy, did you say slaves?" Father asked.
"Yeah!" Doffy nodded. "They have to do whatever we tell them or I'll explode their collars! I already killed like four of them!"
"Doffy!" Mother scolded. "Killing is wrong!"
"But Saint Yuno said that they're below us!" Doffy claimed. "We're gods!"
"Doffy," Father knelt down to Doffy's level. "Humans are not below us. We are not gods but humans too,"
"Lily?" Roci's soft voice reached my ears.
"What is it Roci?" I asked, picking up my youngest brother and placing him on my lap.
Roci reached into his robe and took out a bracelet. "Happy birthday Lily!"
I took the bracelet from him. It wasn't made of anything fancy like gold. In fact, it was a bead bracelet. A few of the beads had letters spelling out: LILLYANNA.
"Roci, you spelled Lily's name wrong!" Doffy said.
"Sorry," Roci apologized but I placed my hand on his head.
"That's what makes it unique," I told him. "We will always know it was made by you, little brother," Roci seemed to lighten up at that statement.

After the talk with Father, Doffy seemed to not be interested in slaves anymore. However, we were wrong. When I was playing hide and seek with Roci, I saw Doffy in the dining room, sipping tea. He spat the tea out at threw the cup towards a person in chains. The cup shattered against the slave's head. "You stupid slave! This tea is not hot enough!"
"Doffy!" I stepped in. "Didn't Father already talked to you about this?"
"Lily, these slaves are under the command of the Celestial Dragons," Doffy told me. "We can get them to do whatever we want!"
I shook my head and decided that even if I did talk to him, he wouldn't listen. I went back to looking for Roci.

We were leaving Mariejois. "Are you sure Saint Homing!?" The other Celestial Dragons exclaimed. "I thought you'd be the last person to do that! You're saying you give up your status as a god and reduce yourself to a human!?"
But Father still smiled. "I am human. Since I was born,"
"Are you saying we are too-eh!?"
"That's sacrilege! Who do you think we Celestial Dragons are!?"
"Traitor! You've always been heretical!"
"He's right, traitor!"
But Father wasn't fazed by these insults. "I don't care what you think. Humans are wonderful," He was still smiling. "It is way more satisfying to live as a human. That's how I think,"
"Eek! What did you say!?"
"So rude-eh!"
"Get out of Mariejois now!"

During the boat trip, I sat on the deck reading a book. I heard footsteps and looked up to see my baby brothers. "What's wrong?"
"Are we really leaving Mariejois?" Roci asked.
"Seems like it," I answered.
"Eh!?" Doffy was shocked at my answer. "Father's an idiot for making us leave! We had everything there! I don't want to move to a place full of worthless humans!"
"Doffy, stop it," I said, hints of irritation in my voice.
Doffy seemed to have sensed my annoyance and stopped the chat about slaves. But I knew he was still upset. I looked back at Mariejois as we sailed farther and farther away from it.
SO how do you like this idea? Pretty interesting right? I wanted to do something that hasn't been done before (that I know of).
We also created a Deviant Art account shuichi-akai dot deviantart dot com (Just replace the words dot with the actual punctuaction mark and remove the spaces)
There we will post art we drew for our fanfiction. It may not be the best drawing, but we don't have any software to edit our pictures except Paint. The pictures are all hand drawn with pencil and color pencils unless otherwise stated.
If you want to draw a scene or character from our fanfiction, feel free and just post it up on deviantart and PM us a link.
[SPOILER ALERT] If you read Liliana's biography/backstory, it will contain major spoilers for like most of the fanfiction. But we may change parts of it to fit the storyline we create.
Daichi: So many stories!
