Corrupted Future! Journey Begins!
Thinking, Regular, Authors note
Summary: The future is not as it should be. The only way to fix the future is to change the past. What the only way is the "Great Pirate Era"? Watch as my OC takes Luffy's place and tries to save the future by becoming "King of the Pirates".
(This will be my first crossover that i publish. Please don't be hurtful/hateful if i change One Piece in a way that you don't like.)

The year was 2050; the world was dark, in the eyes of its people. Living in fear of their government; the World Government. The sky was dark and stormy; a man could be scene next to a massive metal wall, close to a Cliffside.
The man was Shepard D. Garp, a family man, and one of the security guards of the wall; he was in his late 40s and had a son, Drake.
As he was wandering one of the cliffs off the side of the "New York Wall", the wall stretched around the city, preventing people from not leaving without authorization. He had found a way though the wall using the old storm drains, it wasn't the first time he had been there.
He looks over the side of the cliff to see the water splash against the cliff side and sees something strange. It appears to look like a whirlpool, but the bottom of it was glowing a yellow color. Garp tried to climb down the cliff to get a better look, but half way down, the rocks he use to climb down give way, and he falls into the whirlpool.
Garp wakes up on a beach, he looked up to see the sun shining in his face. He quickly looks around to get a barring on his surroundings, and sees that he is on a beach, and that the wall is gone. He makes his way inland to find people, and discovers a village.
He could tell that it was strange, given that there were no walls, or security drones overhead. As he makes it to the village and sees a little girl, she looked around the age of 6. Garp sits on the side of the wall of the closes building to him, after being exhausted from walking for two hours without food or water. The girl runs to Garp with a worried look on her face, "Are you ok?"
Garp was caught off guard, given that he has never scene a child look so happy before, not even his own son was so cheerful at her age. "I'm fine, what is this place." She gives him an apple that he had in her pocket, "This is Fushia Village, on Dawn Island" the little girl says with a smile.
"My name is Makino, what's yours?" He looks at the apple with confusion and takes a bite, his eyes widen when he chews it, the apple tasted great. As he swallows he answers her question, "Garp. My name is Garp."
As he was finishing his apple he heard a noise, which almost sounded like glass shattering and other loud noises, not to far from where he was sitting. "Sengoku!" Makino screamed.
She runs towards the noise, Garp slowly gets up, given that his body is still sour from going though the whirlpool. He starts making his way to the noise, as he walks past the last building obstructing his vision of what is happening he sees three men; one wearing a white shirt with a strange symbol and the word "NAVY" written on its back, he looks like he was in his early 40s. The other two men were wearing raggedy clothing with random weapons, like knives and strange looking pistols, on them.
One of the men in raggedy clothing was holding the man in the white shirt as the third was beating him up. After three punches the man in the white shirt spat out blood, "(Spit) Is that all you got?" As the man was about to throw another punch, Garp was able to ignore his pain enough to run to the third man and tackle him before he could throw the punch.
Makino was watching from a distance with all the villagers watching what was happening. She was crying at the sight of this fight.
Caught off guard by what Garp did, the man in white took the opportunity and slammed his foot on the man who is holding him foot, causing him to let go. Both Garp and the man in white fight the two other men, not giving them a chance to pull out their weapons and use them, and drive them out of the village.
At the moment the two men we out of sight, Garp collapses from all the pain of the fight plus what happened to him earlier hit him all at once when the adrenalin wore off. The man in white catches him before he hits the ground hard.
Garp wakes up in a room, in a bed. He looks around and sees Makino asleep in the chair opposite of the room. The door opens and the man in white walks in, he had a few bandages on his face and a brace on his left arm, "Glad to see that you're doing better."
Garp didn't respond, he sat up from the bed he was in. "The doctors say that your body suffered a lot of stress, some from before our fight." Again Garp didn't respond, the man pulled up a chair and sat in it.
"My name is Sengoku, I am a Lieutenant in the World Government Navy. At the moment my squad is stationed here, they were fighting off the bulk of the bandits while I took on their leaders myself. To be honest, I don't think my superiors expected those mountain bandits to attack this town." Sengoku raised his hand towards Garp.
Garp took his hand and they shook, "Thank you for your help. You got a name?"
"Garp… Shepard D. Garp." He says with a muffle in his voice, due to the fact that his face was slightly swollen. "I need to go."
"Go where?"
"To the beach where I came from." He says as he tries to get up, he was quickly stopped by the pain in his legs, he moves the blanket that was over them to see a leg brace on his left leg.
"You'll need these." Sengoku then hands him crutches and helps him up out of the bed.
"GARP!" they both look to see that Makino was awake, Garp tensed up when she gave him a hug. "Where are you going?"
"I need to get back." Both Makino and Sengoku look at Garp with a look of confusion.
Garp leads them down the same trail that he used to get to the village, trying his best not to fall while walking with the crutches. It was only an hour since they left the village, and none of them had talked. Garp breaks the silence, "So, you work with the Navy, huh? Never went beyond the wall till now. Never even been on a ship."
"What wall?" Sengoku looked at him with confusion. "You'll see. I hope I can still get home with all my injuries." Garp says, Sengoku still had that same look as they continued to walk.
As they make it to the beach, Garp's face went from a smile to a face of complete shock. "WHAT?!"
The whirlpool was gone.
"NO! NO! NO! It was here! It was RIGHT HERE!" Garp screamed.
"What was?" Sengoku tried to calm him down.
"The whirlpool, its what brought me here!" Garp tried to run and fell to his knees.
"GARP!" Makino runs after him, she tries to help him up. "Try not to move so much, you'll hurt yourself even more."
As she was helping Garp up he saw a letter in Sengoku's pocket, he couldn't read the whole thing, but he saw two digits in the area where the date would be "82"
"No… Its impossible." Garp thought to himself. "What year is it?"
"You must have got your head hit harder than we thought." Sengoku tries to put his hand on Garp's head but Garp caught his arm.
"What. Year. Is it?" He had a look of desperation in his eyes.
"1682."
Garp fell back to his knees. "I was sent to the past. Drake, my son, I may never see him again." Tears fall off his face; Makino hugs him, trying to comfort him.
"I'm sorry, Garp. I don't know what's happening, but I'm sorry. Look, I'm going to head back to the Navy base, and report of what happened today. I wouldn't be surprised if my superiors ask you to join." Sengoku says as he lowers his hand to help him up.
"Yeah, sure." With the help of Sengoku and Makino he stands back up. "Lets go." He looks back out to the open water where the whirlpool was. "Who knows, maybe it'll come again?"
(10 YEARS AND THE FALL OF ROGER LATER)
(AN: I know Garp never became an admiral, but he does in my story.)
Garp, an admiral of the Navy, is back on the same island he started on when he went arrived to the past. After a big reunion party he had with the villagers, he left little 5-year-old Ace with Makino as he makes his way to the beach where he came from.
As he clears the last trees, he sees it. The whirlpool. He felt tears escaping his eyes, and he started to laugh.
For ten years he's been coming back to this island on the same day that he arrived, hoping that it came back. This time it did come back.
Without even hesitating, he runs into the water and makes his way into the whirlpool.
He gasped for air as he made it through the other side of whirlpool. He looks up to see one of his oldest friends look down on him in a boat holding his hand out to help him up, Nick Fury.
"Welcome back." He says as he pulls Garp out of the water and onto the boat they were on.
Garp looks around to see the rest of his old friends, Pepper Stark, Natasha Barton, Erik Selvig and Betty Banner.
"IT WORKED!" Erik screamed in enjoyment.
"What the hell is going on Nick, what happened to me? First I fall into a whirlpool and end up in the past, and now I'm back home—" Garp was cut off from his little freak out by Fury when he held out his hand to stop him.
"We'll explain everything, just try to calm down. Natasha, take us back to base." Fury says as Natasha drives the boat towards a cave close to the cliff side of the wall.
As they enter the cave, Garp sees that there are people working inside it, there is technology and computer screens all around them. "What is all this?"
"Welcome to base camp, of the 'Avengers Resistance'." Betty says, with a little sorrow in her voice.
As they dock the boat, Garp looks Fury in the eye, "What is happening?"
"We are apart of the 'Avengers Resistance' against the World Government."
"Yeah, I kind of got that part when Betty said that, I meant what is with that whirlpool, and why did Erik say 'It worked'?"
Erik answers his question, "Eleven years ago, we discovered a time portal that could send us to the past, unfortunately we didn't know where, or when it would take us. That is, until you fell in."
"Are you saying you used me to tell what time it was over there?!"
"What? NO! When saw that you fell in, we tried to go after you, but the portal closed a few minutes after you fell in. From what we could tell, the portal opens at random, recently we discovered how to force it open, the next step was to find a way to open the right time to pull you out." Erik tried to explain.
"We tried to open it on the anniversary of when you first fell in, thinking that you would try that, it took us five years to get it right, and now here you are." Betty said to try to calm Garp down.
"Ok, I think I understand. My family?" Garp finally calmed down enough to talk normal.
"They are safe, we told them of what happened." Pepper says to help reassure him.
"So why are you trying to use that time portal?" Garp asks.
"Garp, I know this is going to sound weird to you, but it's the truth. This world, the world that we live in, was never supposed to happen." Fury says with anger in his voice.
"What do you mean? This is the way the world has been for over three centuries! I know, I was just there in the 'Pirate Era'." Garp says in the argument.
"Someone, we don't know who yet, changed the past all those years ago. We have been trying to find this portal to try to change the past again to correct the future." Natasha explains.
"How come you guy remember all this then, if history was changed, why were you all not affected?"
"To be honest, we aren't sure yet, maybe it has to do with the Ark Reactors radiation protecting us from the time fulgurations or some other anomaly, either way, we know the true past and what to change it." Erik says.
"Regardless of that, THIS is not how our world was supposed to live! There used to be freedom for everyone. Now, we're all under the World Gov.'s boot." Natasha says as she points out of the cave to the 'New York Wall'.
"I don't have time to debate what is best for the world, I'm going to see my family." Garp turns to leave the cave, walking towards the door labeled 'EXIT'.
"Garp! You have a responsibility now; you can help us change the past. End the World Gov.'s terrine in the Pirate Era!" Fury says, getting Garp to stop in his tracks.
"Why don't you guys go to the past and do it your selves?" Garp asks.
"We can't, you have already been though the portal, you have a history there, and we don't. We can't risk making the future worse." Betty says.
"In case you hadn't noticed, I am a Marine Admiral! I will not betray them after putting my life into protecting them from Gol D. Roger!"
"You already changed the past, Garp. Who knows how different this world will be now that you helped end the King of the Pirates reign early?"
He didn't listen and left the cave. They all looked at each other, "You think he'll come back?" Betty asks Fury. "I wouldn't be surprised if he did, this world is a lot more different thanks to him."
As Garp was walking though the streets he made it to his old house, when he walked in, he found his son. "Drake!"
"Dad!"
They hugged, and talked for about three hours, Garp was explaining what happened to him. Drake believed it, saying that Fury had already told him. Then Drake told Garp that he was a grandfather. Drake says that he named his son after Fury as a way of say thank you for taking care of him and his family while Garp was gone.
They were cut off when a little four year old ran into the house, crying. "Nick, what's wrong?" All he could hear form the child was "Mommy!"
Both Garp and Drake, with Nick in his hands, ran out side. Nick points them to go down a few blocks to an alley and find Drake's wife on the ground, dead. Garp looks around, hoping to find who did it, he ran to the street and saw a car drive by, with the same symbol in it that belonged to the World Gov.
Both Drake and Nick were crying at the sight of the mother dead in Drake's arms. "Who did this, Nick?" Drake asked his son.
"The men in white shirts." Immediately Garp knew who he was talking about, World Gov. officials. What he didn't understand is why they would kill her, on what grounds.
Once Drake was able to compose himself, he pulled out a weird looking phone and made a call. "Fury, its Drake. Yes, I just saw him. Listen! (Cough, then sniff) I am going to take you up on that idea of yours. I'll tell you why later ok?" Drake then closed the phone and picked up his dead wife.
Drake looked at Garp, he didn't eve have to say anything. Garp knew what he was talking about, and what he was about to do.
The portal was open; Nick was asleep in Drake's arms, while they were talking to Fury before they were about to go in again. Garp had agreed to go with Drake, hoping that he could get Drake to join the marines with him.
"This capsule will help you go though without any injuries this time around." Erik says pointing to a man-sized pod.
"We will also be sending this 'Mobile-armory' with you. I trust you know when to use it." Pepper says to Drake, he nods in agreement.
"We also added an Artificial Intelligence inside, it's designed to help you manage the armory and use it. It responds to the name, JARVIS." Pepper added, with a little smile, remembering when her late husband made it.
"Here take this, it's a Devil-Fruit that we stole from one of the World Gov.'s science labs. They say its been modified in many different ways, it may be of some use to you guys in the past." Betty says while she hands them the Devil-fruit.
As they were entering the pod, Fury and the rest of the resistance salute to Drake and Garp. "Good luck, and bring our future back."
They enter the portal and arrive on the other side. The pod opens up and they can see the beach that Garp left when he went back home. As they exit, the pod sinks down into the water just as the 'Mobile-armory surfaced. Dragon turned on the com-link earpiece, "Greetings, I am Jarvis, what do you request of me?"
Drake looks around for a potential place to hide the armory, knowing that they can't just have it sitting out in the open for people to find it, "Jarvis, send the armory to the cliff-side of the island, under the water. Await further instructions from there."
A few hours after burying Drake's wife, Drake says a few prayers and then picks his son up, hugging him. He then gives Nick to Garp and walks off. "Drake? Where are you going?"
Drake turns around, his eyes were a mix of sad and pain, "I'm not joining the marines. I'm going to find my own way of taking down the Government. I can't take him with me; I don't want to risk his safety. He would be better off with you than with me."
Garp knew what he was going though, when he lost his wife, he was in shambles too. He looked to Nick; he fell asleep in his arms. "You're going to be a great marine."
(4 YEARS LATER)
Red-haired-Shanks visits Dawn Island, enjoying his time at the bar in Foosha Village. On the days that he visited, he became the male role model for Nick.
Drake learned of this, so one day he went to Shank's hide out, with a small squad of Revolutionaries with him as an escort. Once he arrived on the island, he asked for Shanks. He was more than happy to speak to Drake, "Dragon the Revolutionary, never thought I'd see you around here. What can I do you for?"
"I hear you visit that island in the East-Blue called "Dawn Island", also that you made a little friend there." Dragon says with a slight smile.
"I've made a lot of friends on that island. Are you talking of anyone in particular?" Shanks says lifting his fedora up so that he can look at Dragon in the eye.
(AN: Before you guys go crazy saying that 'he didn't have a fedora he had a straw hat!', well in my story, he has that. I am adding my own stuff to it so please don't start yelling if you don't like it.)
"I was talking about a little seven-year-old, by the name of Nick."
"Yeah, I know him. What about him?"
"He's my son."
The whole pirate crew behind Shanks went silent. "You're his father? I heard you left him when he was 4. What kind of father abandons his child?" Shanks says with anger in his eyes.
"The kind that tries to protect him. I can't be the Revolutionary and his father at the same time. Here, I want you to give this to him next time you see him." He hands Shanks a metal cylinder.
"What is it?"
"It's a special pair of sunglasses. Sentimental. I imagine they will fit him when he's 18. Also, give him this Devil-Fruit." Dragon hands him a wooden box with the fruit inside.
"You don't have to tell him that they are from me, just make sure that he gets them." Without another word, Dragon leaves, leaving Shanks with a curious look on his face.
"What do you want to do captain?" Benn Beckman asks Shanks.
"I think now is a good time to visit our friends at Dawn Island." Shanks says with a smile.
After the mountain raiders 'beat up' Shanks and made a mess, Nick was angry that Shanks didn't do anything. He started to eat while he was angry and ate the fruit that Shanks had in the box.
Before Shanks could stop Nick, it was too late. At first Nicks arms extended to the floor, freaking him and everyone else out, his arm then quickly retracted up fast that it made a dent in the metal plate in the bar.
Shanks then describes the devil-fruits to Nick, saying that each one has a special power, and that he can't swim anymore.
An hour later, Nick heard that the mountain raiders were making fun of Shanks and his crew; Nick tried to defend them. Nick got into a fight with them, they pulled out their blades; whenever Nick blocked with his hand the blade bounced off like it was hitting metal. Shanks arrived in time to help, however, the leader took Nick with him on a boat. He threw Nick into the water, just as a large water animal, ate the mountain raider and his boat. Nick was able to float, he was surprised because he remembered that Shanks said that he shouldn't be able to swim, but he was.
But it didn't matter much as the big animal started to make its way towards him. Nick swam as fast as he could he heard it get closer; closing his eyes to keep the water from getting in his eyes as he swam, then the sound of its teeth chomping down on something. Nick opened his eyes to see Shanks holding him. Nick looks back to see that the animal left and then looked back to Shanks, he started to cry.
"Shanks, I'm so sorry." Nick says as he cries into Shanks' chest.
"Hey, don't cry. You're a man." Shanks says with a slight smile.
"But… Shanks…Your arm!" Nick cries.
"It isn't worth much, its just one arm. I'm just glad your safe." Nick continued to cry out in sorrow for what he had caused.
The next day, Shanks and his crew were loading up for their next trip out into the open sea. Nick was there to see him off. "Leaving already?"
Shanks turns around, a smile on his face, "Yeah. We came here for supplies, but also, I wanted to be here for your birthday. Will you miss us?"
"Of course I'll miss you guys. I won't ask you to take me with you this time, I promise. I've decided to do it on my own. I'm going to be the new King of the Pirates." Nick says with confidence in his voice.
Shanks turns around sticks his tongue out at him like a child, "Either way, I wouldn't have taken you with me. Like you can become a pirate."
Nick's face went form happy to mad, "I WILL! I'll gather my own crew that'll beat yours and find the world's greatest treasure! No matter what, I will become the King of the Pirates!"
Shanks huffed a little laugh, "Oh, you're going to meat us, eh?" he says as he puts his black and blue fedora on Nick. He also pulls out the metal cylinder that Dragon had given him and puts in Nick's hands. "I'll let you take care of this hat. It's very important to me. Take care of it for me. As for the cylinder, that's a gift from your father."
As he takes his hand off Nick's head, Nick starts to cry, holding the cylinder tight.
The town's people wave off the pirates, as did Nick, with some tears still falling off his face.
"Some day… Bring it back to me… As a great pirate. It's a promise, Nick." Shanks said in his mind as they sailed away.
