Lincoln takes Luffy's role in the story in case anyone is confused.
With that out of the way let us begin!
Currently it was a normal day in the town of Royal Woods, a small town located in Eastern Michigan. This town was no different from any other town you would find anywhere within a hundred mile radius as it had everything from a school district all the way to its own unique restaurants like Jean Juan's French Mex Buffet, Giovanni Chang's, the Aloha Comrade, and Lynn's Table.
There was also Phillip Pilippini aka Flip's gas station and convenience store Flip's food and fuel. It is home to the famous Flippy which is a soft serve drink that you can only get at Flips! Of course it would probably be more popular if the owner of the establishment wasn't a notorious con man who uses multiple aliases like Tucker and Pat to run less than legal operations like pawning off memorabilia or selling fake tickets for the local games.
Yes Royal Woods was certainly filled with unique people like Wilbur Huggins, the principal of Royal Woods elementary School who is a notorious stickler for details as well as a big fan of the Ace Savvy comic book genre. There is also Teresa Davis, the mayor of Royal Woods who for some reason always carries around a keyboard that enables her to do sound effects for appropriate moments... to this day no one's sure what she does that although she claims she got the keyboard from her children and that's why she always carries it around.
Royal Woods certainly is a town with a community of unique people but if there is one group of people that stand out from amongst the rest it would have to be without a doubt the Loud family of twelve sixteen Franklin avenue!
This family is made up of twelve unique individuals consisting of the owner of Lynn's Table and former IT worker Lynn Loud senior, former dental assistant for Dr Feinstein and current writer for the Royal Woods gazette Rita Loud, and their ten unique daughters who are as different as night and day has not even the twins Lana and Lola are in any way the same other than appearance.
There used to be another member of the family until around six months ago when only son / brother of the Loud family Lincoln Loud disappeared after visiting his grandfather Albert at the Royal Woods retirement community and didn't end up coming home.
There was a massive Amber alert and many volunteers as well as police officers from Royal woods and other neighboring towns volunteered to search for Lincoln... but despite everyone's best efforts they couldn't find a trace of Lincoln anywhere... it was like he had just decided to walk away from everything and disappear from the face of the Earth.
Days turned into weeks as weeks turned into months and before anyone knew it six months had already passed and the case had officially gone cold...No one knew why Lincoln would disappear as there was no evidence of foul play. Even the FBI's missing and exploited children's task force couldn't find any evidence that Lincoln had been kidnapped by any known criminal organization.
Many quickly assumed that Lincoln run away but little they they know there was more to the story than anyone would have known...
-=O=-
Lori Loud had just finish picking up Lily from daycare in Vanzilla as ever since Lincoln disappeared their mother and father had been assigning responsible members of the family to keep watch over the little ones at any possible moment if there was any case that a responsible adult or teenager was not present.
'I understand why Mom and Dad are so overprotective over Lily and the others but they can take care of themselves! I know I shouldn't be angry as ever since Lincoln disappeared... they have been worried that the same thing would happen to the others and they're just barely keeping it together for our sakes but... it's not easy as they can't always live in fear... Lincoln ran off and it's all our faults...' thought Lori as unknown to anyone outside of the family there was more to the story of Lincoln's disappearance.
That day she and the other sisters enacted the sister fight protocol after she found out that Leni had bought the same pair of designer shoes at the over 50% off sale at the Royal Woods Mall. Neither Leni or her acted mature in that situation as neither would agree to return the shoes to the store and they couldn't compromise at all!
Lincoln, who up until that point was helping out Lisa with an experiment didn't agree with the others as he did not want the sister fight protocol to be enacted as the latest episode of ARGH was supposed to premiere that day and he really wanted to see it. He tried to be the voice of reason but of course no one would listen to him and soon the other sisters began taking sides as one half agreed that Lori should have the shoes while the other half were on Leni's side.
To no one's surprise they ended up bickering and creating a fight cloud with everyone but Lincoln started roughhousing with one another that involved kicking and biting! Lincoln tried to get them to calm down but in their rage they ended up stumbling towards his room and did something that was unforgivable!
Lincoln's beloved toy Bun Bun was caught in their crossfire and before any of the sisters realized what was going on they had torn the stuffed animal that had been Lincoln's favorite toy to pieces. As the Loud sisters came to their senses they quickly realized what they had done to the toy that has been with Lincoln since he was a baby! But by the time any of them could apologize to Lincoln for what they had done, he had already run off with tears in his eyes and headed towards the retirement community so Pop pop could calm him down as neither their mother nor father was present as it was a Saturday and both of them were busy.
Lori and the others felt absolutely horrible for what they did as bun bun meant a lot to Lincoln. Leni took what was left of bun bun and managed to sew the poor stuffed animal back together in a way that almost made it look like it wasn't torn at all.
As Leni was busy fixing up Bun Bun some of the Loud sisters wanted to go to the retirement home to talk to Lincoln but the other is convinced them not to as Lincoln needed his space as seeing their faces right now but probably send him over the edge!
Soon Bun Bun was almost as good as new with some few obvious stitching here and there but otherwise in good shape. Satisfied that the toy was in great condition Lori made Lincoln a peanut butter and sauerkraut sandwich and waited with the others for Lincoln to come home so they could apologize to him.
That day Lincoln didn't come home and soon when their parents got home late that night they felt something was wrong and they quickly dialed 911! That was just a spark that led to the massive Amber alert / massive search for Lincoln as almost the entire state of Michigan was on the lookout for Lincoln Loud,... but they couldn't find him anywhere.
"It's been six months and there's still no sign of him! Lincoln wouldn't run off like that even if we did do something like destroying his favorite toy! I'm sure something happened to Lincoln it's just that there is still no one who knows for sure what exactly happened."said Lori who noticed that Lily was looking at her with worry.
"Don't worry Lily I'm sure Lincoln is somewhere safe and sound...after all we cannot assume the worst and we just have to keep our hope."said Lori who was trying to be strong for her baby sister even though she felt like crying as the thought of that day always brought tears to her eyes.
"Lincoln..."said Lily with worry as even though she was a baby she had full cognitive ability and knew that something was not right... she just didn't know what it was.
"You have to be strong for your baby sister Lori... Bobby's in Great Lake City and he told you over the phone that you have to be strong for their sake... after all you are the oldest and you have to be strong."whispered Lori to herself as she tried to keep her straight face as she knew that if she broke down it would only make Lily sad.
Every Loud sister had been affected greatly by this as Lori knew that in one way or another everyone was affected.
Leni spent months crying herself to sleep holding bun bun trying to stay strong even though she wasn't as strong as the others and if it wasn't for her friends and family she wouldn't be able to keep it together.
Luna couldn't sing for a very long time as she felt like one of her greatest inspirations was now gone and any song she did come up with was full of sadness. Her girlfriend Sam was one of the only reasons Luna was still keeping it together as Sam was also a big sister and she understood what happened if anything happened to her little brother so she had been a major support and has helped Luna recover little by little.
Luan stop telling jokes for a while and couldn't even laugh for a very long time. Thanks to Benny and others who have been there for Luan she started slowly recovering and over the last few weeks has even been talking to Mr Coconuts again along with doing birthday parties again.
Lynn tried to act tough at first but everyone could tell that she blamed herself as she was one of the ones who really tore into Bun Bun. Many overheard her crying at night saying that she was one of the reasons Lincoln was pushed away as she has never been the greatest sister and wishes to make amends with Lincoln if he ever decides to come home or if he ever find his way home.
Lucy shut herself in her own little world for a very long time which was understandable as despite her personality she was actually very fragile on the inside and Lincoln was one of the main pillars that kept her maintained. Lucy wouldn't even talk to anyone for a very long time has no one heard her speak for months and it only has been through counseling with Dr Lopez that she started cumming out of her shell and started talking again.
Lana often went to Lori for support as she always had nightmares that something terrible took away Lincoln for a very long time and even had trouble sleeping as there was time she would go days without sleeping as she did not want to have that nightmare. Thanks to support from her animals and family she finally started to getting some sleep but she still at times has that dream.
Lola tried to act tough at first but her family found her at times in the middle of the night wandering into Lincoln's room and crying herself to sleep well begging that her Big Brother come home! Lola may be an entitled spoiled brat but she loves Lincoln as despite her personality they were extremely close and like Leni and Lucy, she was devastated and only through help from family and Dr Lopez did she start recovering.
Lisa at first acted like nothing was wrong but she at times went days without sleep as many members of the Loud family found out the little genius was working non-stop trying to find any lead to Lincoln's whereabouts! Lisa would look for any lead that would lead them to Lincoln and at times the family found her listening to the tip line and Lisa always launched an investigation into every tip to see if it would lead anywhere.
Lily on the other hand doesn't seem to understand what's going on as she noticed that someone is missing but because of the way her brain functions she doesn't understand why that person hasn't been there and a very long time.
Lori knew that if things didn't change soon Lily would probably grow up without any memories of her big brother but as she was thinking this Lori was snapped out of her thoughts when Lily handed her a drawing she made a daycare.
"Oh is this Lincoln."said Lori as they stopped at a red light and decided to get a look at the drawing.
The picture was of a young man with a huge grin on his face with a noticeable scar under his left eye. He had noticeably scruffy white hair and had a straw hat on his head.
'I wonder why Lily would draw Lincoln with a straw hat as he's never worn a straw hat in his life.' thought Lori who was used to these kind of drawings.
Lately Lily had been drawing these drawings Non-Stop almost everyday from daycare and each one was about the white haired boy with the straw hat. One drawing was Lincoln handing a man three swords. In another drawing the young man was on a ship with a sheep head for a figurehead. One memorable drawing was the young man giving his straw hat to a girl crying on the ground.
That drawing was disturbing to many members of the family but according to Dr Lopez it was probably Lily's way of grieving so no one paid too much mind to it.
"One! Piece!"said Lily getting Lori's attention as she wondered what Lily was referring to.
"Are you talking about your drawing."said Lori she pointed to the white haired young man with the straw hat.
"King!"said Lily as she pointed at the drawing.
"Oh he's a king."said Lori with a smile as Lily giggled and said yes.
"Oh that's wonderful."said Lori with a smile as if there was anything that was comforting it was the fact that Lily was seemingly remembering this fictional Lincoln in a good light.
As the light turned green Lori went back to her driving as she began to wonder where she was going to put this latest drawing in Lily and Lisa's room as Lily had been drawing them for a very long time.
There where many others too about the white haired young man with the straw hat like the one where he was throwing a man into a giant bell. In another the young man stood tall with a log in his hand opposing three really tall figures. Lori wondered where her little sister got all of his inspiration from but she knew her and the others probably wouldn't get an explanation until Lily was a little older.
"Maybe Lincoln will come home and we can hope for the best. If that doesn't happen I'll make sure you know everything about Lincoln Lily so even if you will not meet him later on in life you will always remember him."said Lori as she drove Vanzilla on to Franklin avenue.
Soon she pulled up in a familiar home that look like it would fall at any day now. Lori unbuckled herself and got out of the driver seat as she headed to the passenger door and unbuckled Lily out of her booster seat before picking her up and heading to the front door. Before Lori could even pull out her keys to open the door Luna suddenly opened the door and dragged both of them inside the house!
"Woah!"said Lori who was caught off guard by this!
"Sorry dude but Lisa has some amazing news!"said Luna she dragged Lori and Lily to the living room.
"Okay Lori and Lily are here so what is your big news."said Lola she was beginning to lose her patience with Lisa as they had to wait for everyone to be in the room in order for Lisa to tell him anything.
"Yeah Lisa you would not call us out here if it wasn't important."said Lynn as she was annoyed with Lisa.
"Guys I'm sure Lisa has her reasons."said Leni as she wanted everyone to hear what Lisa had to say before they judged her.
"Thank you second oldest female sibling. Now with oldest and youngest female sibling here we can finally commence this family meeting."said Lisa is she adjusted her glasses.
"Okay Lisa you said this is important so what is it."said Lynn Sr as the suspense was killing him.
"I... I think I may have found Lincoln."said Lisa as the room went quiet for a moment before everyone at the same time said pretty much the same thing.
"WHAT..."said pretty much everyone as they couldn't believe what they were hearing!
Hello everyone this is PrimusPilus here to give his two cents! Sorry for not updating for a while as I couldn't concentrate because that annoying relative I told you about last time came back to stay with us for a while after she ended up getting kicked out of my brother's place and came back with us for a while... I won't go into a lot of details but let's just say she is super entitled and annoying and because of that I couldn't concentrate.
But now she has her own place so hopefully she will be okay for a while. Anyway I have decided to start off the new year with a story I've been thinking about writing for a while. I got the idea out of boredom one day as I was watching One Piece when I got a notification that a new Loud House episode was coming up.
I saw Luffy on the screen at the same time as I saw a Lincoln on my phone and as I looked at both of them I put two into together!
Now I bet some of you are thinking this is going to end up like Loudbeard or Strawhat Loud. But I can assure you it is not. I am honestly sorry for Strawhat Loud but in all honestly I don't know what happened?
One day I was just riding away the latest chapter when suddenly as i was publishing that chapter there was a blackout in my house! Apparently from what I heard someone crashed into one of the poles near my house and it took several hours to fix it for the electricity to come back on. Once I had access to it was just gone..
I don't know if it was a glitch or whatever but it was just gone. I am honestly frustrated to this day as it was a lot of work but there was nothing I could do! I thought of writing it again but...I just got this new job and my entitled relative had come to stay with us... so you let's just say I ended up scratching that idea off.
Anyway now with my entitled relative gone I want to see where the story goes as Monkey D Lincoln is brought home to his family and tries to adjust to a World weaker than the East Blue.
Next chapter should be up soon so I hope to see all of you next time as the journey continues!
