Prolouge: The Rise and Fall of D
Well guys, finally here is the first chapter. Please review. for I feel more inclined to keep writing if I get more feedback
Twenty kingdoms, amongst all the kingdoms of the world, twenty stood out. While every kingdom at the time had all sorts of powers. Some had wealth, some had fertile land, some had people who were part fish. However these twenty kingdoms had soldiers who wielded strange powers. Some say they could turn to sand, some say they could turn to animals, some say they could split their bodies in parts. These twenty kingdoms had armies that wield strange and mystical powers. It was rumoured that they gained these powers by eating strange fruits. It was these powers that led these twenty kingdoms to become the most powerful and cruel of all. These kingdoms ruled the world. The wars they had with each other also decimated the lands and turn many people homeless, many children into orphans left much misery and suffering. Many people were taken as slaves. Races of all kinds lost many of their kind. These kingdoms through war or oppression left nothing but death and suffering in their wake. The world cried out for a hero.
A young boy would rise in power. Starting off as an adventurer he saved many lives with his great combat abilities. He defeated many strong foes with nothing but his own strength and mind. Small villages which were enslaved, at war or oppressed were saved by him. He was a hero. He was offered treasure, wived, marriages anything yet he wanted nothing but to help. It was a something about him that could not stand people suffering. However it was his encounters with the so called devil fruit users of the twenty kings that made him legend. During his battle with these abilities users, he wanted to save the people oppressed so much that somehow this will was actually harnessed and used in combat. He wanted to save a child from slavery, save a woman from being raped whatever, the need to help seemed to have gave him strength to overcome the abilities. He could hit loggias despite their intangibility, he could predict movements and even make himself stronger. He even had a strange ability under great emotional stress to knock people out.
This young boy, Halen Acrisius became the first person to challenge the devil fruit users and in turn challenge the twenty kingdoms and the tyrannical twenty kings. He commited many acts that were said to be miracles and performed feats which even those with the power of gods could not perform. He became friends and allies with many because of his great strength, charism, and the a strong sense of justice to help those in need. This boy became friends with not just people who were oppressed but creatures of other races. Giants, fishmen and other races looked to him as a beacon of hope. Fishman Island referred to him as "Joy Boy" because he did such great things for the kingdom and brough "JOY" to the citizens. He did not discriminate them by race or looks. He did not help because he wanted their power. He helped simply because he wanted to and could not stand to see the strange fish like people treated badly. He also formed a powerful and deep friendship with the young mermaid princess Poseidon at the time.
His feats made him feared by the twenty great kingdoms yet respected by those they oppressed. Indeed eventually he formed his own kingdom, which he himself became king of. Despite the kingdom being young, it grew to became so powerful that it could directly challenge the twenty great kingdoms. Indeed his exploits and great feats earned him the respect of his people. Many kingdoms, villages and people who were helped by Acrisius joined his kingdom and forged alliances that led to his growth. It was further aided by the fact that it go help from all races. Giants helped quickly build the kingdom, fishmen helped with fishing and building and exchange of cultures helped the kingdom develop quickly. Trade was established between this kingdom and other kingdoms, countries, villages etc that were helped by Acrisius. They were saved by him and were eternally greatful for his help. As such when asked for help, alliances, resources etc, they did not hesitate. Unlike the twenty great kingdoms, there was no oppression and slavery, instead there was freedom and unity. Everyone loved everyone and everyone helped everyone. Alliances were strong and aid was always present. Acrisius has done so much and everyone is in turn helping him.
The twenty kings felt threatened. Not only was there a new kingdom but its power and influence was quickly overtaking there own. It didn't help that many of the forced alliances they had were broken off and instead reforged with this kingdom. They wanted to said there armies led by their devil fruit users to force the kingdom to surrender all its people and resources to them. However unlike before when the people would either give up without a fight or have no fighting strength, this time it was different. They people fought back with everything they had and pushed them back. It become worse when they found out that at the head of this kingdom was none other than the one who gave them blow after blow, Acrisius. None of the twenty kings liked each other but they all soon realized that they would loose all their power if they did nothing. The kings decided rather than fight him, they would join him and forged alliances. Indeed although reluctant at first, Acrisius understood that the fighting was too much and that this may bring peace. And so they forged an alliance with him. The fighting stopped and Acrisius was hailed as a hero by the world. He saved many people and united many races. And he finally put and end to the fighting. However the alliance was revealed to be a ruse. The twenty kings caught Acrisius by surprise. Acrisus wife and children were slaughtered and burned the entire kingdom to the ground. The kingdom that threanted the power of the twenty great kings was no more.
Acrisius attempted to go to war with the kingdoms and went to all his former allies. However all of them exhausted and tired from the constant warfare chose not to side with him. Even his closest nakama refused him. They finally got some semblance of peace and despite everything he did for for them, they had to put their own people and families first. So with heavy hearts and many tears declined him. Many offered him sanctuary even high positions in their kingdoms to make up for not helping him as he did for them, but he could not let the death of his family and the destruction of his kingdom go. He did everything for them and yet when he needed them the most, they all turned their backs on him. Feeling abandoned, he rejected all of them. He put his life on the line for them and they couldn't do the same for him. They forsaken he so he forsaken them. He eventually disappeared. They simply could not believe they could stand against the twenty kingdoms. The world fell into depression since the oppressive twenty kings once again had full power and the simple knowledge that they could not help there hero. Poseidon in particular who was rescued from slavery from the twenty kings who wanted to use her sea king controlling abilities was one of those who fell into the most grieve, sorrow and depression. Not a day went by when she wasn't crying over the fact that she could not help her dear hero.
During his travels, he killed many. While before he fought to help, now he only fought for himself. Never again did he ever help a single soul. He helped them and they forsaken him. So if anyone ever asked him for help, he said no, just like his ex nakama said no. He fought to become the strongest in the world. Before where the world was on his side now it was different. Before he fought to help others and fought with friends on his side. Now he and he alone. He fought against the world that took everything away from him and even turned his back on him. He fought and fought and fought against the twenty kingdoms, against his former allies, against the heavens itself. It is said that no man is an island and that you need friends. This was a law written by nature itself. He alone fought against this law, against nature, against god. He ruled the lands with his own strength and killed anyone who got in his way. Acrisius who was said to be the best of the best an angel, a saint, lost his wings, the wings of friendship, of love. He became a fallen angel, a black saint, a demon. And as such Halen Acrisisu became Halen D Acrisius.
At the very edge of the world, Acrisius came upon a creature said to be that of legends, the kraken (the same on as Luffy's surume). He battled it but rather than kill it, he decided to use it to take vengeance. Using his own flesh and blood along with his haki, he corrupted the Kraken and changed it. It became hundreds of times larger, it gained claws and went from a simple mythical beast to a colossal unstoppable force of destruction (this is the Kraken from Clash of the titans this time). Thus Uranus was born. Using this great beast, he finally made his move on the twenty kings that took everything away from him.
With its power he laid waste to many kingdoms. The twenty kings decided to form an alliance to combat Acrisius and his weapon Uranus. The beast was so great that Acrisius's former allies were forced to fight him. They were shocked and horrified. They simply could not believe that that there hero, who saved them, he fought so hard for nothing than simply wanting to help, wanting nothing but their friendship had become. The twenty kings were scared because of his great and terrible strength along with his new weapon Uranus. The rest who were once his friends while scared were disheartened. To think that such a great man, who was done so many great things for them, no became this corrupted demon. And it was their fault. They denied him help when he offered it. When they asked for help, he answered without hesitation. When he asked them for help, they did nothing. It was there fault he became like this. They destroyed one of their most precious friends. And so with grief and heavy hearts they prepared to fight their fallen hero.
The twenty kings led by their strongest fighter Castilos Tenryuubito Artorius fought against Halen D Acrisius. Fishmen, mermen and giants joined as well. They were reluctant to help the leader of their oppressors especially to kill their greatest hero but they had to. Eventually the defeated him. The beast was immortal and so Poseidon with a asked the sea kings to drag the unconscious beast underneath the furthest island Raftel. There a gigantic prison was built which surrounded the beast. This prison was the greatest ever built. Also the creature was deemed so dangerous that 9 keys were needed. These keys were sent to various parts so they could not be found. Secretly those who were allied with Acrisius on a poneglyph inscribed many stories of his great deeds, his kingdom as well as the location of Uranus and other important information. To them, he was such a great man that despite all the terrible things he did, he simply could not be forgotten for all the wonderful things he did. The twenty kings banned research of these poneglyphs as they are written in the language of the kingdom that threatened there power. But more importantly it was to prevent another Acrisius D Halen from rising.
Many things took place. The fishmen found a poneglyph written by Acrisus himself to Poseidon apologizing for breaking a promise he made to her. He simply could not keep the promise under such misery. Posiedon who trusted Acrisius completely asked for the poneglyph be moved to her kingdom in fishman island and believed he would keep his promise despite he saying and showing that he broke it. He did so much for her that she and many others forgave him for his crimes. And so the poneglphy was guarded faithfully. The twenty kings formed a permanent alliance which become the world government and the leader Castilos Tenryuubito Artorius had his middle name treated as a title to the descendants of these twenty kings.
Many Years later
A middle aged man wearing a green cloak stands overlooking a barren wasteland. Monkey D Dragon, descendant of the world's most dangerous man is continuing his ancestors work.
Well that's the beginning. Arisius feeling betrayed an leaving is similar to how Madara felt betrayed by his clan and left. Acrisius capturing Kraken and turning it into Uranus and using it in the final battle is similar to how Madara controlled and used Kyuubi. Artorius who is the leader of the alliance is Hashirama's Senju who was the leader of Konoha (which was an alliance between Senju and Uchiha.) So Arcrisius and Artorius is the same as Madara and Hashirama. Uchiha vs Senji. D vs Tenryuubito. Just like how the Senji became famous while the Uchia fell into disgrace, Tenryuubito gained ultimate power while D lost everything. Poseidon helping Castilos with the sea kings is similar to how Mito Uzamaki helped Hashirama battle Madara and Kyuubi. Poseidon NEVER marries the tenryuubito however.
Again this fic is greatly inspired by Naruto Shippuden so expect a lot of similarities. Please review.
