One Piece: Truly Precious

Hello all. This is my attempt to write a One Piece time travel fanfic. I hope all of you enjoy it. This story was inspired by Luffy's Renewed Adventure by f-ckthesystem125 Ashes of the Past by Saphroneth, and King of the Ocean, Queen of the Sky by clashofthelegends, so some credit goes to those authors.

Note: The Straw Hat crew will be extremely overpowered in this story.

Note2: elements of this chapter come from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

He had done it. After years of searching, Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, had finally reached Raftel. The journey had been tough. The marines had come down full force off the coast of Raftel. Led by Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, the Marines brought their full might down in an attempt to stop the Straw Hats from reaching their treasure.

Luffy's crew stepped up to defend their captain as he tried to reach the One Piece, but the marines were relentless. Nico Robin was the first to fall. She defeated several marines with her Devil Fruit powers, but a barrage of seastone bullets put an end to her.

Next was Ussop. He decimated many of the opposition with his pop-green rounds launched from his Kuro-Kabuto. But he was taken down when Admiral Borsalino used his powers to blow a hole in his torso.

Chopper and Brook were next. They fought valiantly, using their Monster Point and Swordsmanship, respectively, but even though they tore though the ranks of the marines, they were no match for Borsalino and the admiral took them down with his Yasakani no Magatama attack.

Sanji went down next. He was able to use his skill with Haki and Diable Jambe to take down Borsalino, but he met his end when Sakazuki burnt his legs off with his magma, allowing the soldiers to gun down the chef.

Franky and Nami pushed Zoro and Luffy into a lifeboat and sent them to the island while they tried to hold off the Marines. Nami used her mastery over the science of weather to whip up a typhoon that sunk many of the battleships while Franky used all of his weapons and the Sunny's Gaon Cannon to sink the others. They met their ends when Sakazuki, having survived the attack, used his magma powers to incinerate the Thousand Sunny and those on it.

The final stand came in the caverns of Raftel when Zoro and Luffy reached a large metal door with Gold Rodger's jolly roger and the words 'One Piece' carved into it. They could feel the heat from Sakazuki's approach, so Zoro opened the doors and shoved Luffy through before drawing his swords and taking a stance as Sakazuki walked up in his magma form. Using his Haki, Zoro rushed at the Fleet Admiral, dealing a fatal blow, but was unable to dodge a final attack that burned his head from his shoulders.

And on that day, the Straw Hat Crew was defeated and disbanded.

"So this is it," said Luffy as he looked around the room, "this is the treasure of the Pirate King."

In the room were mountains of gold, silver, platinum, precious gems, priceless artifacts, and breathtaking crystals. In the center of the room was a crystal star that stood on a pedestal and gave off an aura of magnificence. This was a treasure fit for a king with enough money to buy the world, yet it all felt hollow.

Looking at the piles of treasure, Luffy was reminded of Nami. Looking at a set of ornate swords set with gems, he thought of Zoro. Looking at a model ship with a fish theme, the thought of Sanji and Franky. Looking at a golden mask, he thought of Sogeking…and Ussop, strangely enough. Looking at a set of medicinal grinders made of gold, he thought of Chopper. Looking at a violin set with gems he thought of Brook. Looking at a large stone Poneglyph standing on the far side of the room he was reminded of Robin.

"This is what I dreamed about," said Luffy, "but I would give it all up if I could have my Nakama back."

"Is that what you truly wish?" asked a voice that echoed through the room.

"Who's there?" asked Luffy as he looked around.

"Step forward child," said the voice.

Luffy noticed the crystal star was glowing and he walked up to it, "Are you the one talking? Who are you?"

"To answer your questions child," said the crystal star, "I am the one talking. I am the One Piece. The treasure that makes dreams come true."

"I thought all of this was the One Piece?" said Luffy as he looked at all the treasure piled around the room.

"All of this is just treasure," said the Crystal, "the One Piece is of far greater value than anything else in the world. The One Piece can make any dream, any wish come true. The One Piece can grant a person a single wish. Any wish. What is it that you want?"

"What I want?" said Luffy, "What I want is my Nakama. Without them, all this is nothing."

"Indeed you have a kind heart and a pure soul," said the crystal star, "therefore, I will grant you your wish. You will be sent to the beginning of your adventure with all of your memories. However, you will need to train if you want to regain all of your previous skills. You will also be able to grant your crewmates their memories and skills. I will grant you one more gift as well. You will be able to awaken the memories of one other person and when you meet her, you will have your eyes opened as well. Good luck, Pirate King Luffy."

The crystal glowed and bathed the room in a blinding light. When the light faded, Luffy was gone along with the treasure.

When Luffy opened his eyes, he found himself in a barrel.

'What am I in here for again?' he wondered, 'Oh yeah! This is when I met Coby! Oh, I can't wait! Let's go!'

Alright, that's it for the prologue. One thing I should mention, the crew will have all the knowledge they had at the time of their deaths, but they won't have any of the physical attributes, so no instant muscles and such, so they won't be able to do everything at once and they will need to re-acquire some of their weapons.
