Finally holiday, and new story to make and end. You know I just cannot wait until I end one of my stories because I know they will be long and complicated, but now this..this is something different. One Piece is one of the most important things to me and here you will have darker (but still with funny scenes) version of this anime/manga. How can I describe a biggest change here? Well imagine a piece of mind of Johan Liebert mixed with rage of Guts from Berserk in Luffy. What you'll get? This! Hope you enjoy I do not own One Piece. Let's begun :) Oh and LuRo will be in it. It's far more interesting and canon from other shippings for me. And sorry for spelling. It's not my first language. You know, translators and my own poor knowledge.
Origin
Sky was this day full of clouds. Everyone could feel a giant storm coming from the sea. No one could believe how beautiful was sky before this. It has change in just few seconds. If there was something that everyone knows was that, this is not a regular storm. A ship of Red Hair Pirates was visible and on this ship was no one else but Red-Haired Shanks and he was Pissed.
''LUFFY!'' Shanks screamed at giant building on the shore. This was a laboratory of the World Government.
''Shanks, you sure that he's there?'' Ben asked his captain. Attack on this laboratory was big risk. ''This place is one of the most guarded places in all East blue and that's everything we knew!''
''SHUT UP!'' Shanks screamed at his friend ''I know Luffy is there, this time I'm very SURE!''
''You should know him the best Ben.'' Lucky Roo said as he bite his rack of meat ''When Shanks is that determined not even gods could stop him.''
They finally reached the land. In the way here they destroyed 20 warships. It surely is a very important place for Navy and WG. Shanks did not care about that, he can be monster like Dragon in the eyes of everyone if this means Luffys safety. This laboratory looks like the regular marine base, but this was much bigger. There were many watchtowers what makes it look like a castle from fairy tails without a noble prince. There are only mad scientists and Luffy. Shank, Yassop, Ben and Roo came to the doors of this laboratory.
''Hmph, no guards here or on the towers, maybe they didn't think that someone could reach this place, arrogant bastards.'' Yassop smirked.
Shanks ignored him and destroy those doors with one strong slash of his sword. Inside this building were many doors and stairs. This place looks even inside like marine base.(yeah I know it's boring, but I'm just too lazy for creative idea for laboratory.)
''Shanks do you know where Luffy could be ?'' Roo asked his captain.
Shanks closed his eyes and concentrate his mind. His Kenbunshoku Haki will show him the way. After few seconds he feels two strong life essences, one is above them and second is underground. They split up on two groups. Yassop with Ben go upstairs and Shanks with Roo downstairs. Shanks and Roo find down there only closed iron doors. Before Shanks bound his sword Roo stopped him.
''You don't have to damage you sword.'' Roo smiled ''Let me handle this.''
With strong punch he destroyed the doors. There was very white and long corridor. In the end of this were doors. Luffy surely was there. They enter there. This corridor was very creppy for them those clean white walls, without even a scratch one them. It was like they are in some kind of void. They start to have dizziness from this. It looks like those doors were going closer to them and they were standing in place. It was very odd. Finally they reached them. Before Shanks could open the door Roo grabbed his arm.
''What happened Roo?''
''Hey Shanks, did you notice that we don't meet even one marine in this building?'' Roo asked him
''Hmm, you're right.'' Shanks feels very strange now ''We destroyed so many warships who protect this island and here is no one to stop us.''
''Maybe it's a trap?'' Roo warned him
''Maybe, but still we have to save Luffy.'' Like Roo said not even a gods could stop him ''And don't forget about my special ability.''
Roo just nod his head. Shanks finally could open those doors, but when he touch the knob he felt something odd. Unnatural cold filled his body. His hand was shaking and very unpleasant shiver run down on his spine. All his body was like block of ice. He never felt something like that before and he hope he never will felt it too, even Lucky Roo felt that and his rack of meat was cold from that. After a minute they finally regain their consciousness.
''What was that?'' He asked himself
He tries to not think about that. He opened the door. Only little part of this room was visible. Shanks saw Luffy there under the wall.
''LUFFY!'' Shanks shout at Luffy from happiness
But Luffy doesn't even move a finger. He just was sitting there in embryonic position. Shanks was worried, he came closer to him. Eyes of Luffy were widened and full of fear.
''Luffy you're alright?'' Shanks asked him. Still no response. ''Anchor.''
Finally Luffy looked up at him. His eyes were telling Shanks how horrible was those two years.
''Sh-Shanks?'' Luffy finally said something. His voice was very weak
''Yes Luffy, it's me.'' Shanks smiled at him. He noticed he still have his straw hat on him. ''I see you're still keeping our promise.''
''Shanks. SHANKS!'' Shanks could see tears in Luffy's eyes. He quickly hugged him.
''WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL *sob* ALL THIS TIME!?'' Shanks could easy notice the happiness in his voice. ''DID YOU *sob* FORGET ABOUT ME *sob*''
''No Anchor, we were looking for you.'' Shanks tries to calm him down ''We never could forget you.''
Finally they break this hug. Luffy was still crying, Shanks was not surprised, being in place like this for 2 years for that little boy must been a nightmare.
''Hey Shanks, I find the light.'' Roo tells him ''Let me turn this on''
Shanks didn't know how much he doesn't want this. When Roo turn on the light Shanks could see all the room. There were bodies, everywhere. Scientists, guardians, marines, they were all slaughtered. Shanks and Roo were shocked. They never saw that many bodies in one place. It looks very disturbing. Almost every corpse there was ripped in half. It was like devil just show up there with demon army and create there his second hell. Some parts of those bodies have deep tooth marks. What kind of beast could did something like this?
''L-L-Luffy!?'' Shanks tries to speak normally ''What happened here?''
''I...I don't know, I was just AAGH!'' Luffy screamed and grabbed his head
''LUFFY! Is everything okay!?'' Shanks was very worried about him. Luffy starts to remember some things. (I feel sorry for him)
Luffy saw those images, those horrifying views from here. All those tortures, dead bodies, injection of some strange things into him.
''Now KILL THIS PIRATE''
''NO!''
Human hold in place by marines. Luffy is near to him.
''KILL HIM! Or you'll get another punishment!''
''NO!''
''YOU THINK HE'S WORTH SOMETHING! It's a pirate, THEY DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE.''
Luffy is looking in his eyes. He see only fear and sadness. This man did nothing wrong. He deserve to live.
''HE DESERVE TO LIVE!'' Luffy is shouting at scientist
''Stubborn as always! KILL THIS BRAT!'' He said to marines who begun to slice the stomach of this pirate.
''NOOOO!'' Luffy is screaming, someone hold him on the ground.
''Don't scream fresh meat. You should be happy! For him it's death, for you it's punishment.'' Scientist smiled on him after he kill this pirate with a gun. ''On table with him and after you finish, you can do with him WHATEVER you want, but don't kill him! THAT'S AN ORDER!''
''AAAAAGH!'' His screams are heard in all room
''One day you'll become our own DRAGON! DEGARARARA!''
Those memories have stopped and Luffy was again in his embryonic position.
''Luffy? LUFFY!'' Shanks shake him to wake him up, then he discover how deep wounds he had on his arms and face and in some places his skin was ripped. His body was one big scar. ''Luffy, what they did to you?''
He only saw tears from Luffys eyes.
''Hey Shanks! We found..we found..'' Yassop came there with big news but he quickly shut his mouth when he saw this. ''Shanks… What.. is that?
''I explain later (if I could) now we need to get out of this horrifying place.'' Shanks get up on his legs ''But first we must destroy this place!''
''Hey Luffy you want a meat?'' Roo asked Luffy giving him his rack of meat. Maybe this could cheer him up. ''Luffy?''
Luffy just take that and slowly starts to eat it. He doesn't even seem to enjoy it. If there was something what would cheer him up was meat, but now. Seeing Luffy like that was heartbreaking whatever those monsters did to him was horrifying for sure.
''We HAVE TO destroy this place!'' Lucky Roo demanded
''P...please, please…'' Luffy tries to say something.
''What Luffy!?'' Shanks quickly came closer to him
''Please...please kill…'' This words made red haired and his friends shocked. Luffy never demand someone death.
''Anchor what are you talking about?'' Shanks asked him. Luffy look up at him, his eyes were full of fear. Even Shanks was scared now. Whatever make him that scared was surely the devil itself.
''Please...kill...me.'' on the last word Luffy fall on the ground and Shanks wont do anything, he was just standing there like a pillar.
On Shanks Ship
Luffy finally woke up and this time he has no nightmares. Luffy look around to see where he is. It was Shanks room. He was here, once when Shanks invite him on his ship 3 years ago, Luffy sneak up here to find meat that Shanks hide from him. It ends with him jumping on Shanks bed and by accident destroying it. Shanks was very pissed off, but he quickly forgive him. It looks like they fixed it after that.
''Shanks, do you really think it's good idea?'' Voice of Ben was heard from the doors ''We are going to have troubles if..''
''SHUT UP!'' Shanks screamed. Luffy never heard Shanks with such an anger. ''If what is written in those papers is true then maybe HE will finally start to care about his family!''
''Shanks..''
''Just send those plans to revolutionaries, I don't want to hear about this Reincarnation project and Luffy shouldn't either.'' Shanks sounds very sad ''I don't want to see him like that again.''
''Allright I'll do it.'' Ben agreed with him ''But tell me Shanks, it isn't strange that the only one who survive this massacre there was Luffy?''
''What are you saying?''
''I say that, when we get there those bodies were still fresh and we never saw a monster who did that AND only one who was there with blood on hands was LUFFY.'' Bens words hit Luffy very hard ''I know it's hard, but you must face it there is no doubt tha...''
''LUFFY COULD NEVER DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, he is a good kid not a MONSTER!'' Shanks words were very loud ''Just send those papers to them, we should end this for now or we could wake up Luffy.''
Luffy was sitting on the bed until they leave. He lay on the bed with his eyes full of tears. One of his friends was think that he's a monster. No. He's not. That's impossible, that's...
Luffy hide his face in arms. He cried very hard for five minutes, then he felt something odd on his arms. When he looked at them he saw as they were slowly consumed by some black thing. When this was happening memories came back again.
He's again here. Everything is black. Then a flash of light blinded him. He cannot move. He cannot speak. Humans are screaming at him, punching and hurting him. ''MY BROTHERS WILL SAVE ME!'' He screamed. Then those words came, this words break him, feed him with rage and despair. Sound of cracking metal. Screams, more screams. Black arms are tearing the meat. Strange liquid thing on his tongue. So good, so tasty. HE wants more, HE demands more. More screaming and cracking sounds. Meat in the black arms. Putting it into mouth, it's very good it taste better than any meat he ate before. People are running everywhere, Sounds of pistols and bounded swords and then more screams and meat in his mouth. Those screams are making it better. ''More meat, more screams, MORE MEAT, MORE SCREAMS!'' He shout. More people are coming. More meat and strange red liquid in mouth. His stomach is full, but there are still screams and meat is cutting. Then everything stopped. Silence is surrounding him. Something in black arm. Eye of a man who said those words. Fear in this eye mean nothing to him. Rage is everything now Luffy can feel. Those words were unforgivable. Those words ''YOU BROTHER IS DEAD!''
Sometime later on in the HQ of revolutionaries
On Baltigo was another windy day. Everyone in the HQ are on training or in the work. Their boss Dragon was sitting in the main room where he watched the others. He must knew about everything there and don't let anyone do any mistake. His wife(a girl from the manga in hat with the weather. Chapter 593) Rina was watching the map on the table to plan another action. Then one of the revolutionaries came into the room with big envelope in arm.
''Hey, Boss, a message came to you!''
''Who send it?'' Dragon asked.
''Red Haired Shanks.'' soldier answered.
On those words everyone in the room looked at this soldier. The last person who could send Dragon a message was surely Shanks. Dragon looks surprised too. A yonkou sending him a message. Soldier give it to him. Dragon hoped that isn't a invitation on the drinking party of his. Inside the envelope was little book with a sign of world government and inscription under it ,,Project Reincarnation'' When he looked inside it his eyes widened, fist clenched and face show his rage. Rina looked at him, she knew that something wrong happened. She came to him to see what is there, but when she looked at those papers she screamed very loud and fell on her knees with tears in her eyes.
"Rina-Sama!'' everyone quickly get up to see what happened but before they get to her Dragon get up from his chair. His breath was hard and his eyes were full of rage. Then he smashed the table with his hands. Everyone stepped back from him. Then one of the soldiers came from the balcony.
''Hey guys, storm is coming!'' He screamed. This could mean only one thing Dragon was VERY pissed.
Then Dragon turn his face on his wife. View of his crying wife replace his rage with empathy. He came closer to her and knelt.
''Rina, please...'' Before he could say something Rina turn around to him, then he could see her tears on her face. The last time she cried that hard was when they left Luffy. And before that when...
''I will never leave you, Riny, I promise.'' The last words of her last sibling she heard. Why everyone she loved, everyone she cared were harmed or dead. It's unfair.
''*sob*Why you don't take him...WHY WE DON'T TAKE HIM!'' She screamed at him. Dragon wasn't surprised of that but still he couldn't say a word. ''We should take him here, he's my baby, HE DOESN'T DESERVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT *sob* and still you..'' Dragon hugged her before she could end.
''I know what you feel, but we both decided that he will have his own life with his own choices.'' Dragon spoke to her. After that he stopped hugging her and grabbed her shoulders to make her look in his eyes. ''But I promise you they will pay for that, marines, Gorosei, everyone in this world government will be killed for that!''
After those words he let her go. They both get up on their legs. Rina believed in Dragons words but she want something more. Before Dragon leave she grab his arm.
''Before you leave, promise me that you will give me one of those Gorosei, I want to look in his eyes before I cut his neck and smash his head.'' She demanded
''I promise.''
meanwhile in Foosha village
There was a night when Shanks finally reached the Dawn island with Luffy on board. When everyone saw Luffy they couldn't keep their emotions down what starts probably the most loud and happy party in history of this island. Ace and Makino were crying very hard when they saw Luffy after those 2 years. Even Dadan starts to cry, but she did not want to show it. Everyone were so happy, byt Shanks did not tell them what Luffy survive. Everything he could said on that was hell, but now it doesn't matter. Now when they little friend finally came back. Even Luffy was happy as he was before all of this. He was still eating the same unimaginable tons of meat, he still had the same big grin on his face, but the wounds he had made everyone wondered how he can be the same after something what could made them. But still party was great. Well it was until Luffy asked them about one thing.
''Did Sabo start his adventure?'' Everyone silenced on that question.
It was like the time has stopped for Luffy. Everyone were so quiet, they were standing in places like by some magic spell. The first one who speak was Ace who came closer to him.
''Luffy, I, we have to tell you something?'' Ace tries to said it clearly.
''W..What?'' Luffy asked. What they want to say. Everyone are so sad. Wait, no NO ''YOU BROTHER IS DEAD'' Luffy stars to cry again ''It *sob* wasn't a lie*sob*''
''What?'' Ace asked with confusion. Before anyone could react Luffy ran away from the tavern. ''LUFFY!'' Ace screamed as he tries to catch him.
''LUFFY.'' Shanks crew wanted to catch him too, but Shanks stopped them.
''We helped him before, but now he must face it alone, there is nothing we can do.'' Shanks said to them and as always he was right.
Makino starts to cry. Thinking about what pain Luffy survived before and what he must face now overwhelmed her. Everyone there felt the same, the pain he must past was too much for a kid like him.
Meanwhile Ace finally found Luffy. He was sitting in the place where they were used to be. Ace came closer to him to see is he alright. He was just crying as he watch the sea and the moon on the horizon. Ace sat next to him.
''I know what you feel Luffy, I was sad when he died too.''
''H*sob* how did he died.'' Luffy asked him
''It was a day before you disappear, we thought that you just was sleeping somewhere in the wood. Sabo was very happy this day so we did not want to interrupt it. But when he show his flag a world noble destroy his ship with canon, because when someone show a pirate flag on the ship then he must be killed.'' Ace explained him. It hurts when he remind himself about that.
''What was the name of *sob* HIM!'' Luffy asked him. ''What is his name, where he is?''
''From what I know his name is Jalmack and he live in royal palace now with his family like king'' Ace answered to him ''But why did you...'' Ace finally understand when he looked at Luffy as he get up.''What..No Luffy you can't just go there and hurt him, he's...'' Before he end Luffy grabbed him by his neck. Ace tries to escape from that but Luffy was too strong. Then he looked in his eyes and he just was frozen from fear. He felt shivery run down on his spine when he looked in Luffy's eyes or whatever now that was. His eyes were replaced by dark stains. While he watched them he felt like he's surround by darkness, unending and hollow. What he felt now was new stage of fear. Whatever happened to Luffy by this 2 years... No he cannot even imagine what it was.
''Tell everyone that I go for a walk.'' After those words Luffy let Ace go.
''But Luffy...'' Ace tries to stop him but view of his eyes quickly changed his mind. ''I don't want to lose you so please come back.''
''Don't worry, I will'' Now Luffy run to the forest leaving Ace there. This change in Luffy's voice it was like he's another person. Ace just go back to the tavern.
When he came back first one who talked to him was Makino.
''Where's Luffy? Is he alright? Did you talk to him?'' Makino asked him
''Yeah he's fine, he just go to the forest for a walk, maybe after that he will feel better." Ace was better liar than Luffy (well everyone are) but still he have problems with it.
Shanks knew that there's something wrong, but he trust Luffy. Now he's free, it's his choice to do what he want now.
Next day
Shanks and his crew were ready to leave. Everyone was there to bid farewell to them. Luffy was there too to thank him again for what he did for him. Ace also was very thankful to him for helping his brother, but something different was now bothering him. When he woke up he find Luffy sleeping in the center of forest with something red on his arms and after he wake up he said that he don't want breakfast. This was surprising for everyone. Luffy doesn't want a breakfast was clearly the most unusual thing in the world.
''BYE SHANKS AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!'' Luffy shout
''BYE LUFFY, SE YA ON THE TOP!'' Shanks answered him
They finally set sail and come back to the grand line. Ace and Luffy go to the tavern where Makino was. They want to see how she's doing now. Makino was now reading a today newspaper. As they came closer to her they saw that she's scared.
''Uhh, Makino what happened?'' They asked
''One of world nobles was...was..'' Makino tries to end her line. Ace wondered what happened, but then the view of angry Luffy flashed trough his mind, he knew what she is going to say. ''MURDERED!''
On the Red Haired pirates ship
''Impossible!'' Shanks said as he watched the newspaper. Then Ben came to him.
''I warned you.'' Ben said
Shanks only turn on the side where Dawn island is. ''Luffy!''
In the revolutionary HQ
''I can't believe it!'' Rina said to Dragon
''So do I Rina, so do I.'' Dragon answered as he put the newspaper on the table. (yes they buy new)
Text in newspaper:
His majesty Jalmack was killed with all his family in the palace on Goa Kingdom
No bodies has been found. Only blood stains on the floor in their room.
There is no signs of whoever did that, but the most rational theory is planned attack of revolutionaries.
It's the first time, that someone killed that many tenryuubito in the same time.
Whatever did that, was for most of people the devil itself.
Message for everyone. In this times no one is safe, remember that, NO ONE.
Finally end of this chapter. This was a lot of working, thinking and fighting with my lazy nature. Again sorry for my English. Remind me about my mistakes in the comments I'll try to fix it. In the next chapter I will SKIP the most parts of the canon One Piece. There will be only ends of Lougetown, Skypeia and Alabasta and few parts of Water 7. I just don't want to rewrite the whole story where changes are only in few parts so don't be surprised. And LuRo in the future and appear of an OC. Very odd OC. Hope you like it. Fav, follow and leave a review if you like it. And don't judge me for probably wrong words I'm using google translator few times. See ya!
