Okay guys, here we go again! I had originally written this story and published it in fanfic, but I wasn't that pleased with what I had written, so I decided to delete it, fix it, and post it back on!

I have a better view on how I am going to write my story now, so, if anyone out there likes it, make sure to leave a comment! I'll try to post a chapter as soon as I can!

Prologue

Eighteen years ago the great pirate Monkey D. Luffy found the legendary One Piece that was left by the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. When Luffy found the one piece he gained everything that the world had to offer, wealth, fame, and power. Yet, finding a mountain of gold wasn't the only thing he acquired. To his surprise, the pirate Gold Roger, left a message that would change the pursuit of all pirates. During his voyage, Gold Roger had encountered a legend. This legend was the Shintai, or the ultimate devil fruit, according to the legend, whoever eat this fruit would acquire all the powers of the devil fruits and the ability to once again swim. The Shintai was a legend that only existed as rumors in the smallest of corners at the end of the grand line. He said that this devil fruit laid in a garden, a garden that was kept a secret from the world. Yet, this world was different from theirs, it was another. Gold Roger had said, that even though he did not know where this world was, he knew who this garden belonged to. It was the secret garden of the kingdom of Arajebo. There was a poem left behind that explained the only way to get to this new world.

"So must one be, to conquer the sea,

Sail to the end of the Grand Line to see,

Wait for the sunset to kiss the sea,

And the green line shall appear."

From the moment the world found out about Shintai, the seas echoed with the pirates roared. The last know message of the deceased pirate king had once again fueled the sparks of all pirates. However, the years passed and the Shintai became nothing but a mere myth. No one really believed that the fruit was real, let alone, believed that the pirate era could continue to exist. The only thing that kept the golden age of the pirates alive was the pursuit of the new pirate king, Monkey D. Luffy, for he was what anyone could call a real pirate. But, not all hope was lost, for new rookie pirates would emerged after eighteen years that the one piece was found, their goal, to find the ultimate devil fruit. Not only will they keep the pirate's era alive, but they will begin a new era.
