You were the princess of the desert kingdom Olaria.

But you didn't feel like a princess, you felt more like a prisoner stuck in the world's worst prison, Impel Down.

And do you want to know why you feel like that? Because you were just sold into marriage by your own two parents, AND to a freaking shichibukai of all things!

An uneasy frown decorated your features as you sighed at your dress in the mirror.

Your parents didn't see it but you saw right through all his plans, once he was married to you not only would he become legal king and stay in this place to not rouse suspicion, but he could easily use this island as an illegal hideout without any...

Your parents didn't see it but you saw right through all his plans, once he was married to you not only would he become legal king and stay in this place to not rouse suspicion, but he could easily use this island as an illegal hideout without any trouble.

Nobody on the outside has even heard of this island from how small and bland it was, just a massive desert and three measly towns that didn't even have a marine post in any of them.

It was a question all in itself on how Crocodile got to know this place at all.

Maybe he got the information from Vivi's castle?

She was a dear friend to you and told you all about the civil war and her time with the Strawhats..maybe..just maybe you could get ahold of them to help you out?

You quickly shook that thought out of your mind with a disapproving frown.

'A princess shouldn't need to ask pirates for help...even if they are kind' you thought.

Besides, they were already far in the new world last time you heard, asking them for help would throw a huge monkey wrench into their plans.

Just when you were about to put more thought into it, the current thorn in your side decided to make an appearance.

Really, you were expecting some kind of cocky grin or threatening glare to be on his face but instead you were greeted...

The heck?...

Was that freaking jerk..smiling???

Whatever he was doing with his face it was greatly freaking you the heck out.

Then the strangest thing happened, his face shifted into a blood red as he turned away refusing to make eye contact.

..What is going on with him???

Finally after what seemed like forever you decided to brake the silent ice, "you'll never get away with this"

The giant of a man stupidly blinked and gave you a confused stare with his golden hook slightly twitching.

"I know exactly why you came here, with a small island like this and marrying me, you will completely take over this place without any disturbances to your illegal plans, but just you know I'll find a way to stop you" you stated.

Crocodile just stood there as his face dusted pink, does he have a fever or something?

With a small frown he faced away from you as he headed towards the door and almost seemed..dejected.

But just before he left he gave you one last look and rumbled very softly, "that's not why I'm here at all"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You nervously looked at the two doors that loomed above you.

Crocodile's words still echoed in your mind, if he wasn't here to take over the island then why did he come here? Why was he marrying you?

When you looked him in the eyes he clearly wasn't lying...

All thoughts were flushed out of your mind as the doors slowly opened, out of reflex and practice you instantly pulled yourself down the isle.

You made sure to keep a straight face the closer you got to the shichibukai.

It was all so nerve wracking, not knowing what your enemy was up to.

You mostly zoned out during what the priest had to say as a small trail of sweat went down your temple, 'what the heck is he thinking?' Was all you could ask yourself.

"Do you princess (L/N) Lenile (Y/N) take sir Crocodile as your husband?"

Out of reflex you answered without hesitation, "I do"

"Do you sir Crocodile take princess (L/N) Lenile (Y/N) as you're wife?"

"I do" he pleasingly rumbled.

Finally, the moment came, and he surprisingly, eagerly kissed you fully on the lips.

The shock forced your mind out of it's workplace as everything went blank, like you almost didn't exist for an instant.

The thought of harshly shoving him off of you flashed by for a moment, but you let it be.

Now that you were married you had all the time in the world to try to understand this pirate.
