Also I would like to thank animaniac dude for giving me the idea to use a time machine.

One Piece: second chance

Luffy had been fast asleep in his bunk on the Sunny when he was awoken by the ship shaking violently and Usop yelling that they were under attack. Rushing out on deck Luffy was surprised that it wasn't the marines attacking instead it was a bunch of ships all with the symbol of a smiling face with a line through it.

Nami who had just gotten on deck yelled out, "Franky activate Coup De Burst and get us out of here."

Franky shook his head, "No can do we're out of cola to power it."

Before anyone could say or do anything more a loud laugh was heard coming from the ship directly in front of the Sunny. Turning to the lead ship everyone saw a tall man with blond hair, wearing sunglasses with purple lenses, and a bright pink feather boa around his neck. Doflammingo stood up and looking right at Luffy said with a gleeful smile, "This is the end for you straw hat my higher ups want you dead so I'm going to kill you." He then spread his arms out wide and yelled, "FIRE" as soon as the words left his mouth the sunny was surrounded by dozens of bright yellow beams all coming towards it from the mouths of Pacifistas.

Using his guard point chopper was able to protect the left side of Sunny from the beams but it came at a cost. The beams had terribly injured him and he fell right into the sea. Usop had tried to go after him but was hit in the chest with a canon ball from one of the attacking ships. Luffy using gear 3 and color of armaments black protected the front of the ship but sadly the attacks hit the right and back of the ship killing Sanji and Robin. Franky retaliated by using the rockets in his shoulders to blow up half a dozen ships and Zoro sliced through two ships. Unfortunately it seemed for every ship the destroyed two more took its place. Brook tried to run across the water and attack Doflamingo directly but Doflamingo just sliced Brook as soon as he came close causing Brook to fall into the sea out of everyone's reach. Next to die was Zoro who had gotten hit by six pacfista beams at once but even as the life slipped from him he sent off three large slashes that sunk the ships of the six pacifista's that killed him. The only ones left now were Franky, Nami and Luffy.

Franky grabbed them both by their arms and hauled them into his workshop. Once inside he pulled a tarp off a large machine. Nami with tears in her eyes yelled, "This is not the time to show us your stupid new invention everyone but us is dead!" Franky ignored her, even as tears ran down his face, still not saying anything just keeping a tight grip on Luffy to keep him from running back outside while he used his free hand to plug all sorts of wires into himself. Once he finished that he grabbed Nami who had turned to leave and go out and fight. He then said, "I'm sorry mugiwara but this is the end for us we have no way to escape and all the others sacrificed themselves."

Luffy looked at Franky with his hat casting a shadow over his eyes and in a low voice said, "So what we just give up and die like cowards hiding here in your workshop!"

Franky shook his head, "I'm not saying give up I'm just saying we can't win so we need to run away." Nami and Luffy looked at him with confused faces before Nami said, "We're surrounded with no cola for a Coup De Burst and I don't see how your dumb invention is going to help us.

Franky smiled at her but it wasn't his normal bright and happy smile it was filled with pain and deep sadness as he said, "This isn't my invention it's a time machine that I built using a blueprint of Vegapunk, until now I had no idea how to power it."

Hearing this Luffy and Nami just stared in shock at Franky until a loud crash and the shaking of the ship snapped them back to the present and Luffy asked with desperation in his voice, "So we can go back before attack and save everyone?"

Once again Franky shook his head as he said, "It's just you two going back in time to when I don't know its completely random I have no way of controlling it."

Startled Nami looked at Franky and asked, "Why aren't you coming with us?"

Franky let go of her wrist as he reached up and took off his sunglasses and said, "I cannot go because I'm using my life as the battery to power this machine, for that's the only thing strong enough to power it." He then pulled a lever and a swirling vortex appeared in front of the machine. Then bending down he picked a wooden box off the floor and handed it to Luffy saying, "This is my last gift to you, consider it my apology I promised you a ship that would sail all the way around the world and help fulfill everyone's dreams but I failed." With tears flowing down his face he threw Luffy and Nami into the vortex without giving them a chance to say anything. Right as they entered the vortex there was a loud crash as the Sunny was blown to pieces.

Luffy and Nami awoke in what could only be described as the middle of nowhere. All around them there was nothing but an endless stretch of empty white space. Luffy banged his fists against the ground as he cried his eyes out all the while saying, "I failed them I failed my nakama again I was still to weak to protect them." Nami could do nothing but watch in silence not knowing what to say to comfort Luffy.

Then after what to Nami felt like eternity she heard a voice say, "Don't be so quick to think you failed young man." Luffy looked up from the ground trying to find the source of the voice. Then he felt a tap on his left shoulder and to his shock saw Gol D. Rodger. Rodger smiled and said, "You haven't failed yet Luffy, for you see this is a land where all of time intersects past present and future."

Both Luffy and Nami looked at him confused so he said, "Here all of time intersects and diverges, meaning I can send you back in time." Luffy and Nami looked at him with hope filled eyes until he said, "But I cannot send you back into your own time but into the time of an another version of yourselves, if you agree I will send you to an alternate version of your time where its versions of you have just died."

Nami and Luffy looked at each other both thinking the same think they may not be able to save their world's version of their friends but maybe just maybe they could save this new world's version they may not be exactly the same but they were still their friends. Turning to Rodger with determined looks in their eyes they said, "We want to go."

Rodger smiled saying, "Good to hear but I must warn you this world has many things that are different from what you know most importantly in this world Luffy never ate the gum-gum fruit."

Shocked Luffy asked, "How come I never ate it?"

Rodger seemed to pause in thought before saying, "It seems someone ate the gum-gum before Shanks ever found it." Seeing the disappointed look on Luffy's face Rodger said, "Open the box that you're holding and eat what's inside."

Luffy opened the box and both him and Nami gasped inside was a snow white devil's fruit lifting it out of the box Luffy had two questions where did Franky find it, and what power did it give you?

Seeing the questioning looks on Luffy and Nami's face Rodger said, "That is the kaze-kaze no mi it is the wind fruit one of the most powerful logia fruits." Then giving Luffy a reassuring look said, "Go ahead and eat it because you cannot take physical things with you into the world I'm sending you."

Luffy nodded his head in understanding and ate the fruit while Nami had a disappointed look on her face thinking to herself, "That means I can't take my clima tact with me which means ill be useless in combat until I can get Usop to make me a new one but it still wont be as good as my current one."

Rodger watched Luffy eat the fruit and said, "To turn into your element just concentrate on turning a specific part or all of your body into your element." Once Luffy was able to control his transformation Rodger said, "With time and training you will be able to become your element on reflex alone."

Turning his attention to Nami he held out his hand on which appeared a small bluish white fruit, "This is my gift to you Nami, this is the goro-goro no mi, where I am sending you no one has this power making yours for the taking." Nami was shocked that Rodger was offering her something so powerful, and was quick to eat the horrible tasting fruit. Unlike Luffy Nami was able to control her powers with ease transforming to and from lightning without any struggle.

Rodger turned away from the two new logia users and waved his hand in a circle creating a portal in which one could see a ship with black flag on which was a jolly rodger with a heart on the skull. Looking at Luffy and Nami he said, "Now its time for me to send you on your way so ask any question you have now."

Thinking about it Nami said, "I have three question, why are you here in this world? Why are you helping us? And why did you give me the goro-goro no mi?"

Rodger smiled sadly and said, "I am here because at the moment of my death I used the power of the time fruit that I had eaten shortly before I surrendered myself. Unfortunately I messed up and only my spirit went through time and ended up here. My plan was to use the time fruit to go and say a final goodbye to my dear Rogue and wish her and my son a good life without me."

Before he could answer Nami's second question Luffy asked, "Why would you just say goodbye instead of staying with them?"

Rodger sadly said, "I surrendered myself because no matter what I was going to die very soon so I had hopped to draw attention to myself and off Rogue and our unborn child by giving myself up for execution. That is also why I would have just said goodbye because no matter what I was going to die." Then his mood did a total reverse as he said, "Now on to Nami's second question, I am helping you two because I feel like it and because you are interesting to me." Luffy and Nami were a little shocked that his reason was so simple but accepted it. Then Rodger said, "The reason why I gave you the goro-goro no mi Nami is because you are Luffy's navigator and will need to be strong to guide him on the right path like a good navigator should, after all a navigator must not just guide the ship but also guide the captain and keep them on track no matter what."

Once he was sure there were no more questions Rodger showed them the portal and said, "I am sending you right onto the ship of Alvida were you both were killed in this world, Luffy you were killed when Alvida smashed you with her mace" Luffy and Nami winced when they heard that, "Nami when Luffy died the crew was no longer distracted and saw you robbing them so they shot you and one of the bullets killed you, luckily for you both your new logia powers you got here will go with you into this new world and revive your bodies". He smiled at them before saying, "My final advice before you go is this, firstly loggias that think they are invincible have a very short life spans, secondly don't be surprised if someone who was dead in your world is alive in this one, and lastly power does not come from numbers but from the strength of the individuals." With those last words he pushed them both into the portal to the new world. Once they were and the portal started to close Rodger smiled saying, "Don't waist this second chance you two."

For those wondering how Rodger had the goro-goro no mi he had it because in the world he sent Nami and Luffy to it was never found by Enel and sank into the depths of the white white sea and since it was in an area no one could get to it he used his time fruit powers to bring it to where all time intersects. Feel free to ask questions and i'll do my best to answer without giving away to may spoilers for the story.
