Prologue

Once upon a time, in a far away land, a young prince lived in a shining castel. The prince had everything his heart desired and yet he was vile, selfish, unkind to anyone and void of any emotions.

But then, one winter night, an old beggard came to the castel and offered him a single rose in return of a shelter from the bitter cold night. Repush by her hideous apearence,the prince sneered at her gift and turn the old woman she warned him not to be decieved by apearences for beauty as it's found within, but when the prince dismissed her again,the old woman melted away to reveal the Enchanteress Boa Hancock. The prince tryied to apology but it was too late for she had seen that there was no love in his heart and as a punishment,she transformed the prince into a hideous beast like leopard and placed a powerful spell on the castel and all its residents.

Ashamed by his monstruous form, Lucci consealed himself inside his castel with only a magic mirror as his window from the outside. The rose,that Hancock offered him,was truly an enchanted rose which will bloom until his 28 years. If he could learn to love another and be loved in return by the time the last petal fell, Lucci could broke the spell. If not,he would be doomed to remean a beast,forever. As the years passed by,Lucci fell into despeare and lost all hope for who could ever learn to love a beast?


Chapter 1:Enter Luffy

The story begins in a beautiful village,the village of Fuusha. More precisly,the outside of it where a beautiful house was here, upon a little hill.

"Oi Luffy!"screamed a bare-chested man,a tattoo upon his back and arm,cutting the wood"Go buy some food,I'm a little busy here!"

"Sure thing Ace"was the answere from inside the house

As soon as Ace got his answere, Luffy walked out of the house, wearing his famous straw-hat, Ace stopped what he was doing and walked to him

"Be careful, please"pleaded Ace"I don't what to do this again, just like last time"

Luffy smiled

"I'll try to be careful"Luffy said, still grinning as he walked away, into the village

Ace had good reasons to be worried, especialy when his brother was wearing this ! Yes,the dress, a law had been passed saying that 'Every 'bearers' must wear a dress to be differentiate from the males', a bearer was a gift from the sky, they were men able to bear children and when he had learn Luffy was one, he went into over-protectiveness, worse than a mother hen.

Luffy walked to the village, the grin still plastered upon his beautiful face, he couldn't help but grin widder, he loved being outside, it was like he was a bird whose freedom was restored,he couldn't help but sing his joy

Luffy: Little town

It's a quiet village

Ev'ry day

Like the one before

Little town

Full of little people

Waking up to say:

Luffy walked inside the town,capturing the stares of every men who stared at the beautiful creature walking into a rose red dress

Townsfolk: Bonjour!

Bonjour!

Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!

Luffy smiled at the men antics and kept on singing

Luffy :There goes the baker with his tray, like always

The same old bread and rolls to sell

Ev'ry morning just the same

Since the morning that we came

To this poor provincial town

Luffy walked to the man and he immedialtly recognized Zeff with his long blond moustaches and his giant chief's hat, the sign over his head saying 'Baratie's Bread'

"Good Morning, Luffy! "smiled Zeff,seeing the bearer

"Morning, Monsieur"responded Luffy"I'd like 4 baguettes please"

"Sure thing"said Zeff"Here you go, they're still hot"

Luffy put the baguettes into his basket, he thanked the man and walked away

"Where are you off to? "inquired Zeff

"Another shop,with Ace,we cleared all our food store so now I need to full the store. Can you please say hello to Sanji for me?"

Zeff smiled, everybody in the town knew about the hole inside the stomach of the two D. brothers

"Promise"grinned Zeff before walking inside his bakery"Sanji! The baguettes! Hurry up!"

Luffy walked to the next store, capting the stares of the women and old ladies

Townsfolk: Look there he goes that boy is strange, no question

Smiling and distracted, can't you tell?

Never part of any crowd

'Cause his head's up on some cloud

No denying he's a funny boy that Luffy

Luffy saw a cart passing and decided to do some stop, he jumped in it and observed the crowd doing some marketing

Franky: Bonjour

Nojiko: Good day

Franky: How is your fam'ly?

Kaimie: Bonjour

Buggy: Good day

Kaimie: How is your wife?

Luffy laughed as Buggy was wacked on the head by Alvida who used her club

Miss Goldenweek: I need six eggs

Mister3: That's too expensive

Luffy:There must be more than this provincial life

he climbed down and as he was about to enter a shop, Luffy went inside another one where he knew Robin and Chopper were

"Bonjour Luffy"smiled Robin"What brings you here?"

"I wanted to say hello to my friends"grinned Luffy"And to return this to you"

Luffy took out a book from his basket

"Was it the one Ace borrowed? "asked a little voice

Luffy turned his head and smiled at Chopper

"Yup!He already finished it"Luffy handed the book to Robin who went to put it away"Can I borrow a book too?"

Chopper looked at Luffy surprised

"Sure"smiled Robin"Go and choose one"

Luffy smiled,knowing exactly which book he wanted,he grabbed a red book and handed it to Robin

"You already read it twice this one"laughed Robin

"What can you say?"laughed Luffy"I love pirates and 'The legende of Gol D. Roger' is an exelente one"

"If you love it dearly then"Robin handed back the book to Luffy"I gift it to you"

"But..."

"I insist"smiled Robin

Luffy beamed as he exited the shop

"Thank you!"

Luffy then walked to a shop where he could keep on his marketing

Townsfolk: Look there he goes that boy is so peculiar

I wonder if he's feeling well

With a dreamy far-off look

And his nose stuck in a book

What a puzzle to the rest of us is Luffy

Luffy walked to the main fountainof the village and took a seat on it, where Tashigi was whashing the landry and Hachi was leading his sheeps

Luffy: Oh, isn't this amazing?

It's my fav'rite part because you'll see

Here's where he meets Portgas D. Rouge

But he won't discover that she's pregnant from him 'til chapter three

Luffy got up from his seat and passed by Makino's bar, he waved at her and kept on walking, his nose in the book

Makino: Now it's no wonder that his name means a marine theme

His mind has no limit of freedom

Mayor: But behind that fair facade

I'm afraid he's rather odd

Very diff'rent from the rest of us

Townsfolk: He's nothing like the rest of us

Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Luffy

From a dark alley,someone shoot a duck, whom had done nothing else but fly, a blond man run to it as it fell opening his bag, only to miss it as the duck landed near the the blond man, he bent down and put it inside the bag

"Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Doflamingo! "beamed Bellamy"You're the greatest hunter in the whole world! "

The man, Doflamingo, grinned down at him

"Fuffuffuffuffu! "laughed Doflamingo"I know"

With that, Doflamingo waddled away with Bellamy following him, holding animals skin in his arms

"No beast alive stands a chance against you"praised Bellamy"Ha ha ha! And no girls nor boys, for that matter"

"It's true, Bellamy"said the pink thing"And I've got my sights set on that one"Doflamingo grabbed him under his arm then pointed Luffy, asking for meat at the shop keeper, Usopp

"Hm! The Revolutionary's bearer?"asked Bellamy

"He's the one"answered Doflamingo"The lucky boy I'm going to marry"

Bellamy was shocked"But he's..." he dissuaded put he was put down by the elder man, cutting him

"The most beautiful boy in town"ranted Doflamingo

"I know, but..."tried again Bellamy

"That makes him the best. And don't I deserve the best?"Doflamingo had grabbed Bellamy by the neck and was now holding him close to his face

"Well, of course! I mean you do, but..."Bellamy was again throw down rather violently on the ground

Doflamingo:Right from the moment when I met him, saw him

I said he's gorgeous and I fell

Here in town there's only he

Who is beautiful as me

So I'm making plans to woo and marry Luffy

Luffy had passed by him and now Doflamingo was trying to cught up with the bearer, Sweat Peas, Alphelandra and Margaret who are pumping the water observed them

Sweat Peas, Alphelandra and Margaret: Look there he goes

Isn't he dreamy?

Donquihote Doflamingo

Oh he's so cute

Be still my heart

I'm hardly breathing

He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute

Bellamy had tried to impresse the girls but he only ended up being wet, he walked away grumbling to himself. Doflamingo was trying to follow Luffy but the crowd around them was too dense

Eustass Kidd: Bonjour!

Doflamingo: Pardon!

Bepo: Good day!

Trafalgar Law: Mais oui!

Bellemere: You call this bacon?

Domino: What lovely grapes!

BlackBeard: Some cheese!

Belladonna: Ten yards!

Lafite: one pound!

Doflamingo: 'scuse me!

Rayleigh: I'll get the knife!

Doflamingo: Please let me through!

Kikyou: This bread -

Mihawk: Those fish -

Elder Nyon :It's stale!

Crocodile:They smell!

Sanji: Madame's mistaken!

Luffy: There must be more than this provincial life!

Doflamingo: Just watch, I'm going to make Luffy my wife!

Townsfolk: Look there he goes a boy who's strange but special

A most peculiar damoiseau

It's a pity and a sin

Doflamingo groaned as the crown went more denser,he went inside a house and climbed 'till he was on the roof, from there he jumped from roof to roof to Luffy

Townsfolk: He doesn't quite fit in

'Cause he really is a funny boy

A beauty but a funny boy

He really is a funny boy

That Luffy

Luffy stopped as they called out his name, he turned his head only to see the crowd going back to their buisness, he shrugged it off and walked back home,he was sure Ace was at the edge of being crazy if he stayed in the village longer,last time he send someone at the hospital of St Poplar, the man had been burned. Ace had a bad habit of a pyromania and the fact that he ate the Mera Mera no mi didn't help at all. Doflamingo choose his time and jumped down the roof he had been, he stood where he was but Luffy passed by him so he decided to talk

"Hello, Luffy"greated Doflamingo

"Bonjour, Doflamingo"Luffy walked away,his nose still in his new book

Doflamingo frowned and grabed the offending book out off Luffy's grip

"Doflamingo, may I have my book,please?"frowned Luffy

Doflamingo skimed through the thing,holding it upside down

"How can you read this?"whined Doflamingo"There are no pictures"

"You just need some imagination"smiled Luffy,still frowning

Doflamingo turned to him and smirked

"Well, Luffy, It's time that"he began, throwing the book into a mud puddle"You got to head out off this book and pay more attention to things"Doflamingo put himself in Luffy's way as he went to grab his book"Like me"

Sweat Peas,Aphelandra and Margaret 'aaaaah'ed

"All the town is speaking about it"went on Doflamingo,walking away and allowing Luffy to grab his book"It's not right for you to read, especialy about pirates, you could walk away from me"

Luffy stood up and wiped the mud away from his book

"Dofla, you're an illiterated child"it could have passed as an insult if Luffy wouldn't have smiled about it

"Why"grinned Doflamingo"Thank you! "Doflamingo passed an arm around his neck and began leading him to Makino's bar"What do you say about visiting Makino's, I'll show you my trophies"

"Maybe some other time"answered Luffy

"What's wrong with him? "whined Aphelandra

"It's the saga 'He's crazy' !"added Sweat Peas

"The two of them are gorgeous"cooed Margaret

The other two freed himself from Doflamingo's grip

"Sorry Dofla, I need to go home, to help my brother"said Luffy,starting walking home"Good bye"

Bellamy had finally joined Doflamingo,he put down his burden

"That crazy narcoleptic, arsonic moron"laughed Bellamy"He needs all the help he can get!"

Doflamingo joined him in his laugher,making Luffy angry

"Don't talk about my brother this way !"threatened Luffy,growling dangerously

"Yeah don't talk about his brother that way"Doflamingo hit Bellamy on the head

"My brother is better than all of you reunited, he is a genius!"

The house behind Luffy suddenly exploded and caught on fire a little

"ACE! "Luffy ran back home with Doflamingo and Bellamy still making fun of Ace. Once Luffy was at home,he grabbed some water and throw it where the fire was begining to burn,then he opened the cave where Ace was working with Marco, a friend of his, on a machine.

"ACE! "yelled Luffy

"Luffy! "said a voice

Luffy saw through the dense smoke,the figure of Marco

"Pinapple! "said Luffy"Where's Ace? "

Marco said nothing about the nickname but pointed the sleeping man inside a barel

"We were making arrengments and this idiot"Marco jabbed a finger at him"Choose the good time to sleep when he was supposed to hand me a tool"

Luffy laughed a little, he helped his brother out off the barel with Marco's help, Marco throw him in a corner, Ace moaned but didn't wake up

"If that moron don't wake up within the next second, we wouldn't be able to finish this thing"Marco pointed the machine behind him"And we'll lose!"

"You always said that"laughed Luffy

"Yeah but this time I mean it"Marco kicked the machine,he only hurt his food"STUPID THING! "Marco crossed his arm,Luffy laughed,Marco was pouting

"Yes you will,and you two will be the best genius of the Earth"Luffy passed his arms around Marco's waist

"You think so? "smiled Marco

"If I tell you, it's not for nothing"laughed Luffy

"Then, let's go back to work!"Marco walked to the machine"Now hand me the tool that idiot was supposed to"

Luffy went to Ace's sleeping form, grabbed the tool in his hand and walked back to Marco, trying to fix the damages

"NĂ©,Marco? Do you think I'm odd? "asked Luffy as he handed the tool

"You? Odd?"Marco turned to Luffy"Who put this in your mind? "

"I don't know"answered Luffy"It's just...I'm not sure if I fit in here, there is no one beside my nakama that I could talk to"

"And what about Doflamingo? He is a good man"Marco abruptly stopped"Don't tell Ace that I'm talking boys with you"

"Oh! Please"whined Luffy"I don't think he is that good, he is rude,self-centric and..."Luffy sat on a barel"No, he isn't a good man for me"

"Don't worry! "Luffy could hear the smile in his sentence"Now all your problems will stop because of this"

The machine Ace and Marco worked on was a machine able to cut the wood better and faster than a human, and Marco had finished it

"Now"he said"Let's give it a try"

Marco pushed down the lever,the machine made some noise but didn't explosed like last time,slowly it begin its work: cutting wood. Piece of well cutted wood flew around the cave

"It's working! "said Luffy,ducking a piece of wood"It's finally working! "

"Whassamatta? "said groggily Ace

"ACE! DUCK! "warned Marco

Ace was hit by a nasty piece of wood in his face,he smiled sillily and went back to sleep

"Hitch up Pierre and wake that idiot! "smiled Marco"We're off to the fair! "

Marco was soon hit by another nasty wood,making Luffy giggle. Later that day,Luffy was waving good bye to Marco and Ace and they travel to the fair
