The Cooked Seed

Title: The Cooked Seed
Rating: K+
Fandom: One Piece; The Empty Pot
Summary: King Doflamingo was looking for an heir. He gave each child in Dressrosa a seed and in a year, he would choose his heir. However, all the seeds were cooked. [Loosed based on The Empty Pot]

Once upon a time, there lived a young boy named Trafalgar Law. He lived in the kingdom of Dressrosa with his father, Trafalgar Rocinante. The two were a bit on a poor side, but they managed to survive. Together they ran a small flower shop.

One day, the King of Dressrosa, Donquixote Doflamingo, made an announcement. He called every child in the kingdom to his palace. There, he gave each child a seed. "I am in need for an heir," He explained. "Plant these seeds and in a year, bring your plants to me. Then I will determine who will be the next king,"

To be honest, Doflamingo's original plan was for whoever paid him the most to be the next king. But his family talked him out of it saying that it would ruin his image and people would portray him as a greedy, selfish bastard. So he had to go with the plan of letting a bunch of children plant seeds.

Law hurried home with the seed. "Dad! Dad!" Law called. "I need to plant this seed and help it grow! The king will determine the best plant and make the kid his heir!"

"Law, can I see the seed for a moment?" Rocinante asked.

"Don't set it on fire though," Law warned, passing it to him.

Rocinante sniffed the seed. "This will never grow,"

"Why not?" Law asked.

"It's been cooked," Rocinante answered, standing up. "Let's go to the king and give him a piece of our minds! He gave you a cooked seed!"

Doflamingo was sitting on his throne, discussing some stuff with his guards and advisors. That's when the doors were flung open. "How dare you storm into my palace!?" Doflamingo demanded.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Rocinante lied. "You're the one who gave my poor sweet little boy a cooked seed. Do you want him to lose?"

"Ne, ne, Doffy that man looks a lot like you," Trebol commented.

Doflamingo narrowed his eyes. "What's your name?"

"Rocinante," He answered. "I'm your younger brother, dumbass,"

"Roci!?" Doflamingo exclaimed. "You disappeared years ago!"

"I decided to leave the royal life," Rocinante claimed. "Then I got married and had a son,"

"I thought you said I came from a peach?" Law asked.

"Law that's the wrong story," Rocinante corrected him. "That's Peach Boy. We're doing The Empty Pot,"

"But the script is already messed up," Law pointed out. "Did you even read it?"

"I read it…only the first page though," Rocinante mumbled. "The rest caught fire,"

"No we're just breaking the fourth wall," Doflamingo sighed. "Time skip! One year later!"

There was a flash of light and a year had passed. The kids were all gathered in the palace, holding pots filled with plants. "My plant is the best, King Doflamingo!" Caesar claimed. "It even has eyes and a mouth! I even managed to get him to grow toxic glands that secret a poisonous gas! I call him…Smiley,"

Doflamingo stood up. "All of you kids get the hell out! You're all just a bunch of liars! I cooked those seeds to see who would be honest and just come here with an empty pot. But no one did. And only one family noticed that the seed was cooked. They happen to also be my long lost brother and nephew,"

"Aww man," Kids began to leave.

"Caesar, leave your plant here," Doflamingo called. "I'll need it to piss off some Celestial Dragons,"

"Who the hell are the Celestial Dragons?" Rocinante asked.

Doflamingo tossed Rocinante one of the One Piece volumes. "Read that,"

The E—

"YOU KILLED ME IN THAT UNIVERSE!?"

The E—

"Well, you betrayed me,"

The E—

"But I'm your brother!"

FOR DARKNESS' SAKE! THE END! THE END! THE END!

I have no explanation.
