Set in an alternate timeline, Princess Vivi of Alabasta never encounters the Straw Hats, leaving her to face the looming threat of Crocodile on her own. Bound by power and desire, Crocodile and Vivi find themselves entangled in a dangerous relationship where control and vulnerability clash. As their hidden emotions surface, they struggle with the fine line between manipulation and longing, forcing them to confront what they truly want from one another.

Rating: R21+ ● This story contains explicit themes and is intended for mature audiences only. ● Contained with intense and twisted romance, may not suitable for readers with light romance fanfiction preferences.

Additional Notes: ● This fanfiction may include out-of-character behavior (OOC), AU (Alternate Universe) settings, or deviations from canon events. ● The background of this story is set in a scenario where Vivi does not meet Luffy and the Straw Hat crew, around 1-2 years before the dancing powder incident accurs. ● This story does not focus on the original plot, though it does take some essence from the original story. ● I've tried to keep all the included characters as close to their original characters as possible, although there might be slight differences aimed at developing the story (As example: Crocodile is not as ruthless as in the original story, Koza's relationship with the royal family is still relatively good, and the situation in Alabasta is not as intense as it is in the original story).
