Clowns paradise au

The story is in your usual JRPG Victorian Final fantasy like setting but begins at the end of said adventure where the heroes (nobody I can think of) and the Cross guild trio going after an artifact that can grant a wish when activated.

Buggy found that under the right manipulation of the mechanism you can use the full power of the artifact without relying on the wish factor.

Long story short it worked but went horribly wrong.

The raw energy trapped inside has no limiter anymore so it goes overboard and turns everything within the borders of the kingdom into a land of magical circus. Everyone caught inside is turned into the lands enchanted "performers", including our trio who rule as clowns as well.

---

100 years pass and the clown's kingdom is twistedly thriving within the magical surrounding wall. Crocodile, Mihawk, and Buggy haven't aged a day after using the artifact, they hardly remember their lives before being warped into clowns.

The whole country is full of magical tricksters now and are encouraged to be lenient on children so they can train themselves in becoming tricksters too

Bringing us to Luffy, a kingdom born clown child who doesn't desire much just food, fun, and friends. Which includes escaping out of the kingdom to meet his "brothers" ((Ace and Sabo that he adopted without their consent)) and bring them food he stole.

Shenanigans ensure as Luffy gets tangled up with one of the ruling powers of the circus kingdom has to come save him from well meaning people who view the land of clowns as "cursed". (They aren't wrong in a sense)

At long last my @corafest work for @zoroslost!

Also the third pic is related to this post (↓) so enjoy that as well. 😋

More Cora mime (WIP Clowns paradise au)

Rosinante giving up a lot of things to ensure Law isn't in the clutches of Doflamingo (the clown even gave him the whole "poor unfortunate souls" shtick)

Croc was hungry for drama, curious for Doffy's reaction as his brother is now living with him and the others in the castle. (Basically a pet for Crocodile to make Doffy seethe at a distance)

Being turned into a mime has left him oblivious to the fact he lost parts of this memories, not ones including Law tho.

Oh yes here's one I have yet to draw the concept of, it's a modern setting 'pre Crocodad' Au with a magical twist.

Trans CEO Crocodile is successful and wealthy but his love life is lacking, of course like a tsundare it doesn't bother him.

One day due to an outage he breaks an antique bottle only for it to have a trapped minor sun god awaken.

Luffy is happy to be freed and wants to do something for Crocodile in return.

Doflamingo, Mihawk, Dragon, Buggy, Daz, and Corazon.

You kind see where this is going as the sun god tries to be a matchmaker for Crocodile, much to his displeasure, who eventually has a 'dating sim harem' to choose from. (While also having Luffy as a trickster that will harmlessly be an inconvenience at every turn)

However through all this the mini deity asks the CEO for a favor for when everything is set and done. (Enter the B plot)

Luffy wants to be reborn as a human but for that to happen a willing woman with a partner has to accept carrying him to term.

He hopes with Crocodile's connections he could find a happy family that is willing to have him, rich or poor doesn't matter as long as they're happy.
