Hey guys, author here! This is my second fanfiction. English is not my native language, so I'm sorry, if I make any mistakes. I hope you enjoy this story! I look forward to your reviews! :)

Disclaimer: Obviously, I'm not Oda-sensei…so…I don't own One Piece. I only own my OC Juli.

Enough from me, on with the story!

Prologue

It was a clear night and the sea was calm. Juli laid inside her dark room and looked at the ceiling. She listened to the soft snoring of the other people on this pirate ship.

"Today is the second day on this ship with him… " Juli whispered in distress, as she stared into the dark. "I can't stay here anymore! If I have to stay here, he will marry me…I can't let this happen! "

Juli's pretty turquoise eyes gleamed with determination. She slowly stood up and walked towards the door. "Hopefully he was dumb enough to not lock this door…" She slowly opened the door and entered the hallway. Juli stopped breathing and listened to the snoring coming from the room next to hers.

'Good, he's asleep! Maybe I will have a chance to escape!' Juli thought, as she sneaked onto the deck.

The full moon is mirrored in the sea and the scenery looked peaceful. Juli sighed as she walked barefoot over to the railing. Her long, slightly wavy, dark brown hair, which reaches her hip, fluttered softly in the sea breeze. Her hair shimmered slightly red in the moonlight. Juli's soft turquoise eyes looked at the moon. She just wanted that all to be a nightmare, but she knew that everything that happened is the painful truth. Her kingdom is destroyed and all the kind and friendly villagers are dead. With no expectation.

She remembered clearly, all the times the children smiled to her as she had read stories to them about heroes and pirates and how their delighted laughter rang through the whole village.

All of them are dead! Because of him! Because, she couldn't protect them! As their princess it was her duty to protect them, but she failed. And all of that because she hadn't listened to his warnings Tears rolled down her soft, porcelain face and dropped down into the ocean below her.

'I'm sorry, everyone! I'm so sorry, I couldn't protect you! The only thing I can do now is to live!' Juli looked at the back of her left hand, or to be more exact, her tattoo. The tattoo was a beautiful full moon in memory of her mother. Gently, she stroked the tattoo.

Her hand wandered up to the golden necklace with a ruby around her neck.

'Dad, I will find you. I know you probably think I'm dead and I can't call you with the necklace because he destroyed this function with his devil fruit, but don't worry, I will not give up!' She grasped new hope as she thought about her father.

Suddenly, there were footsteps behind her. She stiffened.

"Juli-hime what are you doing here? Couldn't sleep? I thought Captain-san said you can't go out of your room without his permission." A mocking chuckle sounded from behind her. Startled, she turned around and looked at the man with incoming panic.

She narrowed her eyes. 'What do I do now? I don't know him personally, so he is one of the weaker crewmates of him.' Taking a deep breath, she calmed down a bit. She looked at the pirate in front of her and took one of her fans.

Before the pirate could say anything more, Juli appeared behind him and rammed the closed fan at the back of his neck. His eyes rolled back into his head and he fell unconscious. 'Too late to go back now…' She walked towards the railing and climbed on it. Her tightly fitting black, short dress with a slightly transparent, flower-print over skirt fluttered in the wind.

Juli looked down to the water. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

Just as she was about to jump, heavy footsteps sounded from behind her. She froze in her place and her eyes widened in horror, as she sensed amused and angry emotions.

"My, my, Juli-chan what are you doing? Are you in so much stress because of our wedding that you want to commit suicide?" He snorted unamused. "As your future husband I can't let this happen, you know that!"

He walked towards her. Juli looked back to him. 'No, I can't stay here anymore!' She could only make one decision, if she wanted to escape.

Before his filthy hands can reach her, she jumped into the now enraged sea, just before a storm hit his ship. She surfaced and smiled faintly as she floated away from the pirate ship, while grabbing tigthly onto a black bundle with her important memories in it.

Three hours later...

Juli was in the middle of the storm…on the open sea…without a boat or anything she could hold on to. To add onto that, her whole energy diminished bit by bit.

The last thing she saw was what looked like an island.

'I hope I am right and there is an island in front of me…if not…I think I'm going to die…' Juli's last thoughts were before everything went black.

...-hime = Princess ...

Who do you think is he? And what do you think about this chapter?

Till next chapter! :)

Reviews

'GodzNo' : interesting start, very mysterious. I really enjoyed it!

Thank you very much :). I'm glad you liked the short prologue. P.S. I'm currently working on the next chapter! ;) However, since my internet is not the best, it will probably be finished in 1 or 2 weeks.

'alissaksanders': Love it! Shipping a few characters together with Juli. Ohhhhh I vote for harem too! Lol

I'm glad you love it ;). Okay that's two votes for harem XD. Anyway, who do you ship with Juli? I'm curious. :)

'OtakuQueenbee': This was awesome

Everyone should be in the Harem

Boy, girl, man, woman EVERYONE CAN JOIN

Thank you :3.

I'm thinking about making this a Harem, but I still think in the end, Juli should end up with someone. I have a few characters already in the Harem, but definitely not all characters are going to be included. (Some of them will be more brotherly/fatherly/grandfatherly and it is funnier when these characters try to protect Juli ;) ) Anyway, I'm thinking about including a woman in the Harem, but I don't know who... Do you guys have any ideas?

'ZabuzasGirl': Wonderful!

Update immediately, please! :)

Thank you~ The next chapter will be published on the 21.03.2018. So please be patient, the update is in progress. :)

'question' (Guest): Don't you think the oc way to young

No, I don't think so. Juli is 18 years old whilst Luffy is 17, Zoro is 19, Sanji is 19, Nami is 18, Robin is 28, Chopper is 15 and Usopp is 17.

'Strawberry bunny' (Guest): I love it because one piece is my favorite anime

Glad you love this chapter. :) And One Piece is my favorite anime too. :3

'Coolfire30': Oh... Ohhhhh? You're playing the Pronoun game...

XD Well, not exactly. Juli is just too scared to call him by his real name.

'ShadowKing042': 1st off he is Blackbeard, second she should be paired with EITHER Ace or Saji, or if you want to get freaky with it Chopper but I am of the opinion that when the main character is female the story turns out better and the characters more likeable in a single pairing story

Good guess! ;) And that's an interesting opinion. Also, I will consider your pairing choices into including maybe a few scenes or something to get the shipping on. But well, I'm kinda open to pairings that's why I'm trying to include a bit of every shipping that was voted for. Because Juli is oblivious to any love interests and attention she receives from those she will be shipped with, I think it's not over the top or anything like a real Harem. (If that's not your opinion, it's alright. :) ) Also, in the end of this story, Juli will only end up with ONE character and go into a relationship with him, so... I hope I kinda could explained my thoughts with this and I hope you enjoy the next chapters. :3
