Lion's Acceptance (An Emperors Protection)

A One Piece Fanfiction

-Book One

--They eventually made it to an empty cell that was surrounded by many more empty cells, further away from the occupied ones from earlier, where Shanks was tossed in.

The cell was nothing much, it was surrounded by bars except for the back wall, and it also had a thin blanket in one corner and with a rusty bucket in the other.

The cell door shut with a bang, and the men that had led him in left without a word-not even taking his cuffs off. Which was fine, it's not like he couldn't do it himself, Shanks mused as he used Haki to tear the iron cuffs off. Seriously? Iron? They couldn't do better than that with the massive budget Shanks knows they have.

The cuffs fell off with a clang, seemingly startling a small form in the cell next to him.

Wait.

Is that a child!?--

or- an animal transformation au with parental Shanks that no one asked for but I delivered anyways. your welcome :D
