Thank you for choosing to download and read my work; knowing that people take an interest in what I write is what keeps me doing it. Anyway, now that I've begun to learn HTML, I figure that I should probably work my old stories into this format to make sure it can be easily read by pretty much everyone. Well, here we are; welcome to a prettied-up version of my One Piece fanfiction slash BE story:

# Sanctuary in the Sand

## By: PyroWildcat

One Piece is the creative property of Eiichiro Oda, so remember that this story is not being written for any kind of monetary profit.

Also, this is smut, so anyone not of legal age should not be reading this. I do not condone the actions of the characters in this story, nor do I claim that anything that they do would have the same effect in real life as they are portrayed here. Plus, just saying, I try to go for 'creativity' in works like this, so things might get... weird. Figured I'd warn you now.

All of the characters, locations, and so forth were created by Eiichiro Oda, save for the Milk Milk Fruit, which was my idea.

Anyway, this is meant to be an alternate telling of the Arabasta arc of One Piece, starting with the difference that Ms. All-Sunday captures Princess Nefertari Vivi before the Straw Hat Pirates can meet her(Of course, if you read the first chapter, you already know that). As such, the plot will probably be near incomprehensible to those who don't watch or read One Piece. For those that do, I intend for this story to go all the way to the end of the Arabasta Arc; since this is a smut story, characters will act at least a little OOC for the sake of that, but otherwise I'll try to keep them in-character as much as possible.

The main characters of this story are Nefertari Vivi and Nico Robin, so I'll go ahead and provide images of them as they appear in the One Piece arc this story is based on and, in turn, this story itself:

## Nico Robin, here shown using her powers:

## Nefertari Vivi, shown in the Miss Wednesday outfit she wears at the start of the story:

## Nefertari Vivi's top actually had a different design in the One Piece manga. I like that design better, so here's a picture of it:

So, where do you want to start?

- Chapter 1: Interrogation
- Chapter 2: Preparation
- Chapter 3: Introductions
