Hello, my friends, and welcome to my ONE PIECE fanfiction! The Lighthouse Empire Arc takes place after the Fishman Island Arc & One Piece Film Z, as the crew sails North to their next destination. After seeing a mysterious light on the horizon, the crew soon finds themselves on the doorstep of a massive floating city the size of a real island. In the shape of a star, with colorful lighthouses at each point, the made-made city is 80K strong, with 5 ships and their captains, as well as a commodore named Dani Sky, a man who ate the sky-sky fruit, leading his humble civilization with pride and power. Yet soon after the crew arrives, they find themselves adrift in a sea of darkness, as Naval forces descend like a ferocious storm upon the empire. As the crew will soon discover, the humble family that cares for this place harbors evil histories they have been trying to escape. Now that Luffy has befriended them, their situation becomes his responsibly. *A note for all of my regular readers: this is not written like one of my books. It is meant to read as though you are watching an episode, or reading the manga without pictures. Everything is immediate, and written in present tense actions/descriptions, allowing your imagination to fill the gaps. This makes it easier for all those who are very familiar with watching the show. Enjoy!*

Sam may seem like a normal girl. At least that is what she wants everyone to think. Every day she wishes that she was special in a normal way, and not in the way she is special. You see, the thing that makes Sam so very different from all the people she meets everyday is because of a genetic mutation called "Alexandria's Genesis." This mutation is nothing like what you may have seen in comic books or movies like The X-Men. No, this is something very different.
