Memories of the Past (One Piece X Male Reader)

Chapter 2: A boy called (Y/N)

In the palace corridors, guards were watching the doors of the treasure room, since security had been reinforced after the intrusion of a thief a few months ago. (Y/N) was waiting for the best opportunity to sneak into the treasure room from the darkness of the corridor. The boy knew most of the palace's secrets well, he knew there was a secret passage to the treasure room, but he had never told anyone.

A few minutes later, (Y/N)'s infiltration mission was a success. The boy had managed to enter the treasure room, a huge hall with pillars containing ancient representations and inscriptions similar to the history books of Alabasta. (Y/N) glanced at the drawings of the ancient kings of the country who obtained their treasures after great battles for the glory of the country.

Many rooms had been built in the treasure room to keep the many treasures of the royal family. (Y/N) opened one of the rooms and saw glittering gold coins, the boy wanted to take a few coins as he had always loved money, but he couldn't waste time.

"Maybe the parchment is in this room?" (Y/N) opened the doors to a small room where there was a fruit placed on a marble column, it was the only treasure in the room. The boy didn't even understand why a fruit was hidden in the treasure room, perhaps it was the most delicious fruit in the world? His appetite made him want to taste the fruit, so he took it in his hands and observed it.

The strange blue fruit with spirals seemed to be the fusion of an orange and a clock, but (Y/N) decided to taste it without questioning the shape of the fruit. It was the most disgusting food he'd ever eaten in his life and no one would have liked it.

"It's disgusting... Why does the king keep this fruit in the treasure room?" He placed the fruit back on the column and left the room.

The protagonist searched the other rooms since they had no idea where the parchment could be located. (Y/N) eventually found a new room containing a resplendent golden chest, the treasure seemed to be calling (Y/N) to open it.

"Stay away from that chest, (Y/N)!" The boy turned his gaze to Queen Titi who found (Y/N), she had come with her guards to take (Y/N) back to her mother. Sweat was dripping from the queen's face, she couldn't believe that (Y/N) had managed to get into the room.

"Your Majesty?!"

"What are you doing here, (Y/N)? I know you didn't come to steal treasure."

"I'm sorry, but I just wanted to read the parchment. Apparently it might give me some clues about the Memory Orb!"

"Listen (Y/N). I know you're fascinated by the Memory Orb, but you shouldn't approach that chest. It contains dangerous secrets for you and the people of Alabasta. Your mother is worried about you, and you should go to her."

(Y/N) thought about the Queen's words as she tried to convince him not to read the parchment, but the boy refused to listen. He glanced at the golden chest and opened it to the queen's surprise. Black smoke rose from the chest, enveloping the room in a sinister atmosphere, (Y/N) was startled by yellow eyes hidden in the chest staring at the boy.

"(Y/N), are you..." The queen tried to approach the boy, but was suddenly slashed by a sudden attack. Blood exploded from her body as she collapsed to the ground under the shocked gaze of (Y/N) who remained frozen like a statue.

"Your Majesty?"

The black smoke left the room and enveloped the rest of the treasure room, and the Queen's guards who had stayed outside the room were surprised by the smoke. One of them was suddenly stabbed and collapsed to the floor, to the panic of his comrades, who went on the defensive. Their hearts beat wildly as they tried to defend themselves against the invisible threat, but they were killed one after the other.
