He was running, running always forward. His objective was straight ahead of him, kneeling on an execution platform, guarded by his grandfather and another man wearing a hat with a seagull on it. He, himself, was surrounded by marines that were trying to stop him from reaching his brother. Ace was going to be executed and he needed to save him.
He had just passed Hancock who had given him the key to open his brother's shackles. He kept running, beating the crap out of those who were in his way. Coby had tried to stop him, but he had quickly dealt with him, not even bothering to stop in his running.
After some time and some more fighting he succeeded in releasing his brother from the clutch of the marines and they were running to escape that hell when Ace had stopped to face admiral Akainu. Their fight didn't last long and his brother had been defeated. And then the unthinkable happened, his brother was above him with a fist of magma piercing through his chest. Akainu had attacked him while his back was turned to him and his brother had protected him by taking the blow himself.
It was like Luffy had taken the blow himself, he was unable to move, he was shocked. His world was falling apart because of that sight and he couldn't do anything about it. Tears begun falling down his face, so many emotions were raging inside of him: sadness, fear, rage, anger, powerlessness and many others; there was so many of them, most of which he didn't understand. Because of these emotions he was frozen where he was, his body and mind were incapable of keeping with those raging emotions.
Luffy woke up with a start, gasping for air. He screamed because of the fear that was taking over him, he screamed because of the loneliness he was feeling at that moment, but overall he screamed because of what the dream had shown him : the death of his big brother, Ace.
He kept screaming and crying till he felt arms surrounding him and a soothing voice reassuring him. He stopped the moment his mind processed what those arms around him meant, that his brother was with him very much alive and still with him.
Then another pair of arms was around him, and this time he looked up to see to whom they belonged to. It was Sabo, his other brother, the one he dreamt the death first killed by a celestial dragon. He was smiling at him, to show him that he was still there, that he was alive and with them.
These dreams had begun nearly a year ago, and the first dream he had was the one about Sabo's death, and from then onward he had dreamt of his adventures, till the one of this night about the death of his other brother Ace. Everyone had told him to not let this dreams disturb him because they were nothing but dreams, but Luffy know better than that. These dreams, they weren't just dreams, there was more to them than just dreams, they felt too real to be dreams: he remember the scent of the sea, the heat that had plagued him on that desert island, or the cold of some other island. Luffy knew they were too real to be simple dreams; they were like visions of the future, a very frightening future.
It was difficult for luffy to breath, like someone was choking him, but he kept breathing slowly till it even out a bit. A hand was rubbing soothing circles in his back, while two voices were trying to calm him. He was aware that all the bandits were in the room with them frightened by his screams, but he couldn't careless at that moment.
"It's ok Luffy. We are here, the both of us." told him the voice of Ace in a soft tone "go back to sleep, we are going to stay with you till the morning." He kept talking to him until Luffy fell back to sleep, not aware of the people around him at all.
"It was those dreams again?" asked his Dadan from across the room, worry evident in her voice.
"Yeah! But this time it wasn't those names he kept screaming on the other night, and neither was it Sabo name that he called out tonight." Ace respond softly as not to wake his little brother "He screamed my name. He kept screaming my name, the first few time it was like he was trying to reach me, and the he was calling it out joyously I assumed he reached me but the last one it was like that first night when he had dreamt of Sabo's death, there was such desperation in his voice." By this time Ace was crying, it was difficult for him to speak but he kept speaking because he couldn't stop "I tried to wake him, several times but he wouldn't wake up… he … j-just wou-wouldn't wake up…"
"Stop Ace, it's over." It was Sabo who spoke this time. He put a hand on his brother shoulder and shook him a little to snap him out of his hysteric fit.
Unbeknownst to them, Luffy was having another dream but it was a different of a kind this time. He was in an all white colored place, it seemed endless to him. He was alone and everything was quiet which unnerved him to no end. The moment he opened his mouth to scream a voice rung behind him and he swirled to face it source.
"Such a little thing with such a burdened future" the voice of the young man in front of him was somehow melodic, his features a bit too beautiful to be of human nature, and his smile a bit too bright to be natural, without mentioning the light that was pouring out of his eyes "It was I who gave you those dreams you are having little one"
Luffy was a little blinded by all the light that was coming from this guy. Looking at him hurt, so Luffy looked away. He was going to speak again when the men beat him to it again.
"I am the one forgotten, all bow to my will but none know of me but a very few. I have come to speak to you because you have understood that these dreams were not simple dreams and in that assumption you are right." The man told him with that melodic voice of his, he was going to speak again but this time the rubber boy beat him to it.
"Assem… assemptio?" he tried to speak the word correctly but each time it sounded more peculiar than the last.
"Oh ! I forgot that you were stupid" there was exasperation in his tone but his voice kept the melodic tune "It matter not. These dreams were in fact visions from the future, or I shall say of one possible future you may live. I usually do not involve myself in human's matters, but you are different, important. You are destined for greatness; this is why I give you the possibility to change your future. In your hand lie your destiny and your fate, but around you revolve those of so many people you can do or undo them at will if you wanted, this is why I gave this gift."
Luffy was dumbfounded by the man speech, he was at a loss and he didn't understand half of it which made a great fear ingrains itself in the pit of his stomach. He kept staring at the man feet, and then he noticed that the man in front of him was disappearing gradually.
"I know that many interrogations trouble your mind but now is not the time to answer them. But before I leave I will tell you this: Knowledge is something dangerous and you must be careful with it. Knowledge is the most dangerous weapon a man can wield so beware of the consequences of how you use it. I would advise you to use very little and to only make changes that are necessary but the choice is yours to make." The man looked at Luffy with a somewhat affectionate smile and then he disappeared.
The boy was still frozen in place with a hazy look on his face, then the whiteness of that place was swept away by a wave of darkness that took Luffy by surprise, he closed his eyes on instinct and when he open them again he was looking at the faces of his two brothers.
"What did you dreamt last night?" Ace begun the moment a look of recognition passed on his face, and he received a blow on the head from Sabo.
"You Idiot he just woke up, let him breathe a little" Sabo shouted at Ace bumped face.
