(Vivi x Crocodile) One Piece: The Princess and the Villain - Season I

05 - THE PRINCESS'S SAVIOR AND THE RAGE OF CROCODILE

Nearly a year had passed since Vivi had fallen completely into Crocodile's hands. Her body, mind, and emotions had surrendered to him, slowly eroding her sense of self. What had once been fierce resistance had crumbled, replaced by a strange coexistence of shame and desire. The princess of Alabasta was now his—claimed, possessed, and consumed by the dangerous man she had once sworn to destroy.

But all of that changed when Koza appeared.

One day, during an underground business meeting Crocodile attended, Vivi was walking towards the VIP rest area, escorted by Crocodile's guards while he was handling an important deal with his business partner.

At that moment, a cloaked figure passed by her and whispered, "Shhh... Vivi, it's me!"

Vivi stopped in her tracks, then turned towards the familiar voice that rang in her ears.

Koza, her childhood friend, managed to reach her through an underground network of his. The moment his familiar face appeared in the shadows, her heart stopped.

"Ah... sorry, could I go to the restroom first? Please wait here." Vivi tried to steady her trembling voice, sounding as natural as possible to convince Crocodile's guards. She glanced back briefly, spotting Koza waiting for her at the end of the hallway leading to the restroom in the building.

"Vivi... Thank god I finally found you...," Koza whispered, his eyes full of relief and disbelief, "Vivi, look, i will be planning something. I'll get you out of here."

For a moment, she couldn't believe it. The spark of hope felt foreign, alien. She had long accepted her fate—believed there was no escape from the iron grip of Crocodile's dominance. A year of intense possession had eroded her willpower, making her doubt that freedom was even possible.

But Koza's words struck something deep inside her, rekindling a faint flame of defiance. Could she truly escape? Could she return to the Palace and reclaim her life, her freedom?

Crocodile, in his cold and calculating manner, was never one to be blindsided.

When he learned of the secret meeting and the plan to take her away from him, something inside him snapped. That addictive hunger he had for her, which had only grown over almost a year, turned into a ferocious need for control. The very thought of her slipping away from his grasp unleashed a fury he hadn't felt in years. This wasn't just about control anymore—it had become an obsession. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her.

Later that evening, Crocodile found Vivi alone in their chambers. The moment she saw the look in his eyes, a cold wave of dread washed over her. His expression was darker than usual, eyes smoldering with barely-contained rage.

"Planning to leave, are you?" he asked, his voice deceptively calm but laced with venom. He approached her with slow, deliberate steps, like a predator closing in on its prey.

Vivi's breath hitched, her heart pounding as she took an involuntary step back. "I-I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Don't play coy with me." His hand shot out, gripping her wrist with enough force to make her wince. "I know everything. Your little friend Koza and his pathetic attempt at a rescue."

She froze. He knew. Somehow, he knew. And now, she was trapped once again, the small spark of hope extinguished as quickly as it had been ignited.

Crocodile pulled her close, his breath hot against her neck. "You think you can escape me?" His voice was a low, dangerous growl. "Still want to run away? After all this time?"

Before she could answer, he spun her around, pinning her against the wall with a roughness that left her breathless. His hands were everywhere—possessive, demanding, and much rougher than she had felt in a long time. He tore at her clothes, his fingers digging into her skin with the kind of primal hunger that had always made her shiver, but tonight, it was tinged with something more violent.
