Summary: Time traveling is a tricky thing. There are many rules which must be considered. People from the past are not allowed to know the future. Don't take things with you. And the most important rule of all... you must not change the past. But what if you need to make an exception and break all these rules? [AcexOc]

Okay, that is my very first One Piece story. I usually do not write about Anime/Manga, but this is a special case. I am a big fan of One Piece. Since I'm watching One Piece, I want to become a Pirate :D

I'll write a story about Portgas D. Ace, because I love him and I don't think that he deserved to die.

The only way to save him is if you can turn back the time ;)

I've got the idea when I read 'The Time Traveler's Wife' and watched the film 'Click'

The first chapter (not the Prologue) takes place about the time when Ace joins Whitebeard and becomes commander of the 2nd Division :)

I'm from Germany so my English won't be the best, but I got help from The Neo Productions, who looked over my chapters :)

Thank you

And now enjoy reading

Prologue

"Victorie, where are you?"

A bell-like voice that sounded so worried rung throughout the clearing. The voice was so familiar that it automatically directs my eyes to the beautiful face of my mother that was etched with worry.

"Vic, you know, you should not go so far away!" My father, walking beside my mother with the same worry on his face, admonished.

Both looked at each other and went up and down the path to try and find me between the bushes or in the trees. It happened quite often that I hid behind a bush and then forced my parents to play hide and seek with me.

"Here," I shouted, looking back to stare at the bug that was crawling at my feet.

The steps of my parents were getting closer, but my attention was still focused on that bug, which now disappeared behind two bushes. Interested, I followed after it. The foliage rustled, twigs and leaves got caught in my clothes and my hair, but I kept crawling.

"Oh!" I made a sound of surprise when I saw the strange bluish purple fruit that lay in the hollow between the roots of a tree. I glanced at my parents over my shoulder; both were slowly but surely getting nervous. They could wait a few more minutes.

I stretched my hands and reached for the fruit. It looked delicious and I was hungry. So without thinking, I opened my mouth and took a big bite.

Only to spit it out a second after.

"Urgh bah. Nasty!" I cried and shuddered in disgust.

The next moment I was lifted up and pressed against a chest.

"Hey, my little firefly. You shouldn't run away! "

I put on an innocent face and looked at my Dad with big puppy dog eyes. But it was hard for me because I still had this bad taste of the fruit on the tongue. Suddenly, Mum appeared beside him, with her face red like a tomato.

"You've found her? Victorie! You should not take off like that" She sounded angry and I only could hang my head in shame.

"I've seen that fruit and wanted to bite off a piece of it. It looked delicious, but it didn't taste as good as it looked." I said, sticking my tongue out.

"What kind of fruit?" Mum and Dad exchanged glances before looking at me.

"That one." I pointed at the fruit which I had just had took a bite of.

Dad put me down and bent over the fruit. He rolled the fruit from side to side before picking it up from the ground. His eyes widened as he looked at me.

"Vic, did you eat that fruit?"

I nodded.

"But it has tasted as if it was already rotten!"

Then, suddenly I felt sick and had to choke.

"Hey, you okay baby?" Mum soothingly rubbed my back, but it didn't help much, because a second later I puked on my Dad's sandals.
