He had turned the world on its head. Alongside his trusty crew, who also had seen their dreams through the end. Zoro had defeat Dracule Mihawk to become the new strongest swordsman in the world. Nami had drew the map of the world. Usopp had become a brave warrior of the high sea. Sanji finally saw the all-blue. Chopper become an excellent doctor of the world, who could every disease known to man.

And Brooke, who finally got to see his dear old Laboon, a big whale at the begin of the Grand Line, to fulfill a promise he had with his old crew. The crew sailed around the whole world, going on new adventure and helping people along the way. However after a while the crew slowly split apart. First went Chopper, who had to save others people with from different illness. Next was Brooke, who wanted to tour the world with new found rock and roll band. Then went Sanji, who had take over The Baratie after Zeff had past away. Third went Franky, when he got a letter from Water 7, stating that Iceberg was sick and he was getting worst. Fourth was Nami, who felt a little home sick and wanted to met her little niece. Surprisingly Zoro was next, he need to get back to his home land after hearing the dojo was ran sacked due to swordsmen and pirate heard when he was from. Then went Usopp, who to stay and raise his two kids. Lastly was Robin, who stayed with Luffy for a long a while until she wanted to open her own library to share to the people the history. Leaving Luffy all alone, in some bar, on some island. Drinking by himself, reading the newspaper. The top news was Coby, the little cadet, him and Zoro helped all these years grinned through rough and scruffy face. New cuts and battle wounds covered his face and elderly body. He traded his traditional red shirt and blue jean shorts to a more favorable long red coat and long black pants, but still was wearing his trusty sandals. And his most valuable treasure, his straw hat that was worn down with no one help keep it up to shape.
"At a boy Coby, you finally made. You're dream come true" Luffy laughed. However he felt a little sad. He remembered all the adventures him and his crew had back in day. And all the fun time and laughs they had. Luffy sighed to shake off the memories and then order another drink. As he sipped down on the ale, a man walked through the door, casting his shadow on Luffy's back. He slowly towards the bar and sat next to Luffy. Luffy side eyed him, looking him up and down. The man wore all black, with a black coat and black hat to match. He also ordered a ale, before side eyed Luffy himself.
"The pirate king himself" The strange man smirked, "What lucky man I am for meeting you here" The man slowly took off his hat and placed in the bar. The man had normal look to him. Nothing popped out when you look at him. Clean cut hair and clean shaved face, the opposite of Luffy.
"Yeah, it seems like you're the only one " Luffy respounded, before taking swig out of his mug.
"It would seem like you're a bit down on yourself, captain." The man stated looking concerned.
Luffy chuckled, "I've heard someone call me that it quite a long time" Luffy grinned as he finished off his drink. "Well, I guess this enough drinking for an old man like" Luffy rose to his to feet and headed to the door.
"How about you do all over again?" The man blurted out. This stopped Luffy at the door.
"What do you mean?" Luffy asked, looking back at the man.
"I mean, what if you had the option to go back in time and experience you and your crew's whole adventure again. Would you take it?" The man smiled.
Luffy shared at the man for a moment before, "Of course I would, but unfortunately there's no power in the world that could allow me to do such a thing." Luffy turned back towards the door, about to walk out. 'If only' he thought.
"And what if I said I have that exact power you're looking for." The man's smile grew bigger. Luffy slowly turned his head back at the man. "I could send you back in time to relive your adventure, from the day you meet Shanks to the day you found the One Piece and become the Pirate king." Luffy's eyes widen. He could actually see his friends again and go through his great advantage. "But of course there are conditions to this. Firstly this timeline is not the same as yours. There be few change to you're friends and crew. You'll be graining more members and thankful not losing any. Secondly, I will open your eyes to women and their feelings, watching you go around, flirting with every girl you come across, even the two that were on your crew, but never understand their feels or felt anything, kinda pisses me off. So I'll allow you to see women in a different light. And lastly, you will have no memory of this timeline, none at all. However you'll retain all your powers you had over the years like haki and the gears. Do you understand these terms?" Luffy nodded his head. The man smiled, "Good, now just say the words captain and I'll send you back in your seven year old body on the day you met Red hair Sharks."
Luffy thought to himself for a moment before coming to conclusion, "What will happen this timeline?"
"Nothing, it just forgets the name known as Monkey D Luffy." The man explained .
"I-I see" Luffy respounded. Luffy thought again for a moment, "I think I'm good kid." Luffy walked out the tavern and headed back to ship, The Thousand sunny. The lonely ship swaying and creacking on the local docks. Luffy slowly climbed aboard and look around the quiet deck. No other sounds could be hear, only the sounds of the waves smacking against the hull. Luffy strolled around the ship with his memories of him and his crew flashing before his eyes. Luffy sat down in the middle of the ships and pulled out another bottle of rum from his coat pocket.
"You know, you can seek up on someone had enough years to train up his observation haki." Luffy said out loud before taking a swig from the bottle. The man from the tavern only smirked as he jumped down from the mast.
"I was hoping you would sense me up there" The man laughed.
"Is that so"
"I just wanted to tell you the offer is still on the table captain, and hell I'll take away the conditions of you forgetting everything" The man said, sitting next to Luffy.
"Why are so hooked on sending me back in time?" Luffy questioned.
"Well might as well tell ya" The man adjusted his hat, "It's the timeline I want."
"The timeline?" Luffy looked more confused.
"Aye the timeline. You see I'm the time master and I've so many timelines with you and your crew that I wanted to make one of my own. The others timelines I speak of is made by other timemasters, including this one." The man pointed down, "Some has you succeeding, while some has you failing. But this one is the loneliness and saddest one I have ever seen. This is the first time you and your crew split up on your guys own terms. It's quite sad and I hate seeing my favorite group of pirates end up like this. So I made a timeline that I can send you to that fix these wrongs." The man finish his explanation with a smile. "However I cannot send you that timeline without you saying so."
Luffy thought for a moment, "So this is the saddest timeline?" Luffy asked with a low tone.
"Yeah, the saddest. And like I said, I've seen you guys fail and horrible too." The man explained again.
"Alright I guess they'll just have to forget me for a while." Luffy grinned. The man matched his grinned.
"Good, now get ready for a bumpy ride" The man winked as he snapped his figures. Cause Luffy to be sent flying backwards into time before finally landing in Foosha village in his seven year body. He was young again and could feel it too. However the memories of his friends and his upcoming adventure were fading away. But he didn't mind as he heard someone in the village yelling about pirates landing in the village. Luffy had a huge smile plastered across his face as ran towards the local tavern to meet his new friends.
