#trophyless idol au

[alexoreality]

Platonic and Romantic All x Luffy AU but different

fuck it. ONE PIECE IDOL AU LES GOOO

...The AU starts off with the traditional hat passing down but its a promise to both Uta and Shanks, father and daughter that belong to the prestigious music-making family of the Figureland/Figarland.

Luffy, even without training, had a beautiful voice but PREFERRED to sing off tune because its much more free and fun! Nonetheless, he can still sing properly! LOLOLOLOL

He's made a ton of friends along the way, meeting Zoro (an overlooked yet very talented drummer/ LMAO THREE SWORD STYLE BUT WITH DRUM STICKS??), Sanji ('A MASTER CHOREOGRAPHER HELLO?? How come no one sees their talent?' Luffy pouted), Nami the manager and temporary driver (her family was in debt and Luffy had to abandon his idol post for a bit and undergo as the Singer; L to win a cash prize to raises her from said debt.) Usopp the vocalist (HE IS AMAZING), Robin the Veteran (she was from a failed idol group, the disbandment was said to be her fault but no.), Chopper the ad supporter (he's never met a group of idols like them before!), Brook the mentor (Luffy LOVES Brook's method of teaching!), Franky the driver and technician (He knows everything and knows exactly what to do!) and Jimbe the producer! (HE IS JUST THE GREATEST)

And the Straw Hat idol groups beloved Lead Vocalist and Dancer; Monkey D. Luffy.

But despite his talent, whenever he and his group reach the finals of a tournament/competition they join. They seem to back out, the only bad rep they have is that. Some say the Leader of the group looks down on his opponents, quits mid-way Thinking they are wasting their time with mediocre rivals. Some take it up a notch and comment on how cowardly Straw hat Luffy was (pissing off a co-vocalist in the Straw hat idol group). However... the truth... The truth is... The truth is known by their most recent final opponent that they had left the victory to; Law and the Hearts.

When Law saw his rival perform on the semi-final. He knew he couldn't hold a candle to that. To that performance. Every performance from the group was new, unique and featured every other member. Law knew Luffy could win and he would have no qualms about it (except he was worried about the deal with his manager; Doflamingo, if he doesn't win this competition for the 5th time and rise the ranks, he won't see Corazon again-) except he won by default.

Speaking of the toxic ranking system that cages the idol groups. The Grand Line System is something Shanks, uta, and Luffy share a deep hatred and disagreement with. With that system, idols who want to show their talent are not often allowed to join certain competitions and tournaments. The three of them seek to abolish that system.

And Luffy chooses to stay at the bottom. A humbling action, yes, but its his way of separating himself from the toxicity.

He may be known as Straw Hat Luffy or the Genius Idol.

But he is also called the 'Trophy less Idol'
