Alright this is the new and improved prologue I hope you all enjoy it. Sorry this took a lot longer than expected. My Grandfather has been failing for the past week so we don't know what will happen or more specifically when it will happen. One day he's fine and the next he doesn't even know who's right next to him. So for now we can only wait with silent breaths.
King of the Ocean, Queen of the Sky
Chapter I: At the End of the Line
Whiteness. Whiteness as far as the eye could see is what met the two pirates when they opened their eyes.
"What happened?" Luffy asked as he tuned to his navigator. "Did Franky's Machine Work?"
"LUFFY YOUR ARM!" Nami shouted as she pointed at the slightly smoking stump that used to be Luffy's left arm. "IT'S GONE!"
"Nami, please tell me that this isn't real." Luffy said with tears beginning to form in his eyes. But he was met with the crying figure of his orange haired navigator that told him that what had happened was truly real.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Luffy cried in agony over the loss of his entire crew. Slamming his head and fist against the ground he felt nothing but despair, suddenly he felt a familiar hand on his shoulder as he was pulled into a fierce hug by Nami.
Their thoughts drifted back to mere moments ago, when they lost everything.
How could it come to this? It had started like any other day for the Straw Hat pirates, them just adventuring, when suddenly they found themselves surrounded by a massive fleet of fifty Marine Battleships led by the Marine Fleet Admiral himself: Sakazuki.
"SURRENDER THE SON OF DRAGON TO ME AND I MAY SPARE THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!" He called out to the Straw Hats.
Zoro stepped forward before Luffy could reply. As first-mate of the Straw Hat Pirates he called out "THIS IS OUT ANSWER!" slashing his sword slicing the battleships next to Sakazuki clean in half. At this movement Akainu ordered all ships to fire at the Sunny.
"Then I will not ask again. FIRE ALL THE GUNS!" He roared as a storm of cannon balls flew at the pirates.
"Stay back guys I got this." Luffy said taking in a very deep breath. "GOMU GOMU NO FUSSEN!" he cried as he inflated himself to a massive size. Catching all the cannon balls and launching them all back where they came from severely damaging the Marine Fleet.
The barrage of cannon fire did not stop there. It continued and each straw Hat was tasked with defending their beloved ship the best way they knew how.
Luffy punched the cannon balls into the water or he slingshot them back. Zoro proceeded to slice any and all cannon balls. Sanji kicked them into the water while Franky and Usopp manned Sunny's cannons to return fire, sinking a couple of Battle Ships that pulled up alongside them.
"GET THEM!" A marine officer yelled as he leaped off his ship and onto the Sunny followed swiftly by his soldiers.
Nami blocked a sword swing but the marine's strength forced her to fall to the ground. "Kyaa!" She screamed as a dozen men moved to attack her.
"HAWK WHIP!" A long black leg swung over Nami and swept all the Marines off the Thousand Sunny. "Are you ok Nami?"
"Yeah, thanks Luffy" Nami said as her captain helped her up. "Look out!" She pushed him out of the way and pointed the end of her clima-tact at some oncoming marines. "Gust Sword!" A gust of wind blasted the soldiers back and into the sea.
More marines charged them but Brook leaped into the air above them laughing and laying his violin. The Marines all looked like they were in a daze, enchanted by the music. KACHICK Brook sheathed his sword and with his signature laugh all the marines fell over.
Usopp was sniping Marines from afar, taking out their cannon crews before they could fire another brutal volley at Sunny.
Zoro swung his swords creating a tornado that blew away and cut the marines at the same time.
Sanji was in a handstand kicking every and all Marines that came close to him with fiery kicks of love.
Robin Stood with her arms crossed as dozens of her own arms bloomed on the soldiers and rendered them unconscious or she threw or pushed them off the ship.
Franky was down below firing off all of Sunny's cannons while readying the Gao Cannon.
Chopper was leaping all around the ship in his Kung Fu Point beating up marines.
"GAON CANNON!" Sunny's mouth opened up and she fired a massive blast of compressed air that obliterated three Battleships in front of them and two more behind them.
"OI! Zoro! Sanji! Take the fight to them!" Luffy ordered
"No sweat Captian." Zoro said as he ran to Sanji. "idiot! Give me a boost he said as he jumped onto Sanji's leg.
"Directionless Idiot." Sanji growled "I HOPE YOU DROWN!" He threw Zoro with all his might before he ran on air towards another Battle Ship.
"LET'S GO GUYS!" Luffy called out happily, as he stretched his arms onto Sunny's mane. "ROCKET!" Luffy launched himself with great speed across the water and onto the ship the Fleet Admiral was standing on. Luffy looked up and glared at the man who killed his brother.
"Straw Hat."
Luffy didn't even skip a beat as he launched an Elephant Gun at Akainu who countered by raising an equally large open hand of magma to catch Luffy's fist.
Sakazuki and Luffy then rushed each other, one with fists of Magma and the other with blackened fists.
They slammed their fists into each other and black lightning sparked from each of their attacks that racked the ship violently.
"What the!?" Marines were confused as they turned to Sakazuki's flagship.
"A clash of Haoshoku…" Zoro said standing admits hundreds of Marines
"Grrr…" Breaking off from their bout Sakazuki crunched on his cigar angrily before turning to Kizaru, Fujitora and Ryokugyu. "KIZARU! FUJITORA! RYOKUGYU!"
The three admirals nodded before leaping into action against the Straw Hat Pirates.
Zoro launched another flying slash at a marine ship but Admiral Fujitora intercepted it with his own sword.
"Forgive me." The blind admiral said as he readied his sword. "I do not wish to fight pirates who have done so much good."
"Tch, I guess I could say thanks." Zoro replied
"But, I will not be holding back." With a swipe of his blade Fujitora sent light purple rings high into the sky.
"Come on you shitty Bastards!" Sanji called out as he continued to kick marines in their faces.
"Ooh aren't you scary." Sanji turned around just in time to avoid a yellow laser beam.
"Damn." Sanji said before he rushed Kizaru and engaged him in a fierce kicking match.
Ryokugyu landed on the Thousand Sunny, right between Nami, Robin, Chopper and Brook. The Four Straw Hats freaked out slightly before the Marine Admiral began his assault.
The Battle between Pirates and Marines lasted mere minutes with the battle soon turning into the favor of the Marines through their sheer numbers and superior military force.
Seeing as the enemy was exhausted Sakazuki gave the order for all Marines to pull back, confusing most of the soldiers.
"Straw Hat, If you are here who's left to protect your crew?" He asked. Luffy's eyes widened as he realized what Sakazuki had planned.
"NO!" Luffy made a move to lunge at Akainu but suddenly he felt weak as Vice Admiral Doberman clasped a pair of Sea Stone handcuffs onto Luffy's left wrist.
Luffy could only watch in horror as the Fleet Admiral launched himself toward the Thousand Sunny at rocket speeds.
"Shit! We've got income-!" Usopp never finished crying out the warning as he was completely engulfed in magma before anyone could react.
"USOPP!" the crew screamed
"One down eight to go." was all Akainu said as he turned to the stunned crew.
"Damn You!" Brook said launching themselves at him. Sakazuki merely stood there with his arms folded across his chest. "Taste the winds of hell you fiend!" Brook yelled as his cane sword became shrouded in the chill of the underworld. "Gavotte Bond en Avant!" He thrust his blade right into Akainu's chest but the Fleet Admiral didn't even flinch.
"You want to compare Hells? How about some fire and brimstone?" Sakazuki said as his entire body turned to magma and unleashed a devilish amount of heat, melting brook's sword. He held out his hands as they turned into larger arms composed of lava.
"AAAAHH!" Brook screamed as he clutched his afro protectively. "NOT THE AFRO! NOT THE AFRO! NOT THE-"
BOOOM There was a mighty crash as he slammed his hands together on Brook as if the skeleton was an insect and there was nothing left of the Straw Hat Musician, not even ash.
"BROOK!" Chopper cried as he put a rumble ball in his mouth transforming into Monster point.
"It appears you aren't just their pet, but that does not matter to me." Akainu Launched a wave of magma in the shape of a dogs head at Monster Chopper.
"Kokutei: PALME!" Chopper roared as his carving hoof hand blasted Akainu's dog apart. The sprays of magma bubbled violently before expanding into dozens of dog heads that launched themselves like a pack of ravage dogs.
They viciously bit into every part of Chopper and the poor reindeer couldn't fight them off as they ignited his fur and bit into his meat. He roared in pain as his friends called out to him but one dog head lunged and bit down on his skull killing him instantly.
After killing Chopper, Sakazuki turned to Nami and Robin, the last two crew members on the deck. He tuned his lower body to magma and launched himself at them poised for the kill.
"LIKE HELL YOU'LL TOUCH THOSE LADIES!" He turned to his right just in time to See Sanji blitzing towards him with two legs engulfed in fire.
At the same time from the other side of the ship Zoro flew through the air towards the Fleet Admiral.
"COOK!" Zoro said as he turned all three of his swords black. "Santoryu"
"Diable Jambe" Sanji's legs turned black as he reinforced them with Haki.
"2000 Pound CANNON!" The Swordsman and the cook unleashed their combo attack on the Head Marine. They blasted apart his body leaving a hole that encompassed his entire left chest and arm, A deep gash was carved out of his neck and even his right leg had been split in half.
"Damn, you Haki users." Sakazuki said as his body began to reform.
"He's still alive!?" Nami questioned.
The magma man grabbed Sanji's leg and Zoro's sword at the same time before both his hands trned into lava.
"GAAAAA!" Sanji screamed in pain as his leg was burned off and Zoro could only watch as the Fleet Admiral melted his Sandai Kitetsu
"Spank!"
"ROBIN DON'T!" Zoro yelled but he was too late as Robin's large arm went straight through Akainu, Her arm became covered in third Degree burns which transferred over to Robin's actual arm.
"DAMN YOU!" Sanji launched his remaining leg at Sakazuki's head. The Marine turned to Sanji as the cook's leg passed into his head and it too was burned to ash.
"Sanji-kun!" Nami cried out.
Sanji fell back but was caught by Robin. "I have no time to deal with you." Robin and Sanji turned to Akainu as his arm turned into a glop of magma before unleashing dozens of magma jetstreams at the duo.
"ROBIN! SANJI!" Nami and Zoro yelled as she watched as both of them were pierced through by Akainu's attack.
"And then there were four." Akainu said as he turned to Nami and Zoro.
"RED HAWK!" Sakazuki turned just in time to receive Luffy's Attack full on in the chest as an explosion tore out his back. "HAWK RIFLE!" Luffy slammed his twisted left arm into Sakazuki's chest before he threw a hundred more punches. "HAWK GATLING!" Akainu took all of Luffy's blows so the Rubber Pirate closed the distance wile stretching both arms back. "EAGLE BAZOOKA!" The force from Luffy's attack was so intense it threw Sakazuki into the Galley of the Thousand Sunny.
"LUFFY!" Nami cried out his name semi happily noticing a ring of worn skin and blood around his left wrist.
Luffy skidded to a halt before turning to his friends, what he saw haunted him. Nami said with Sanji's dead body resting on her lap while Zoro held Robin's lifeless corpse in his arms.
"Luffy…" Zoro began to say. "I'm sorry…"
Luffy just fell to his knees between his friends before looking around the ship at the destruction. He had been too slow in getting the Sea Stone cuff off and now five of his friends were gone.
"OI Nami!" The three Straw Hats turned to Franky who came up from below deck. "I've rounded up enough cola to get us…oh no." Franky saw the carnage in front of him and tears began to fall down his face. "Damn…sniff…I'm too late…"
KABOOOM Suddenly the Sunny's Galley exploded in a fiery inferno and from the hellfire walked Sakazuki, almost completely unscathed from Luffy's onslaught.
"FRANKY GET LUFFY AND NAMI OUT OF HERE! I'LL HOLD HIM OFF!" Zoro ordered as he engaged the fleet admiral.
"You have some skill Pirate Hunter Zoro. But that will not save you." He said as he melted Shuusui. "Any last words Pirate Hunter?" Sakazuki said igniting his right hand.
"Yeah I got a few. LUFFY WILL BECOME THE KING WITH OR WITHOUT US! ITTORYU IAI: SHI SHISHI SONSON!" Zoro yelled as they clashed only to be met with a magma fist to the chest, and so ended the first mate of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Now where did the last three go?" he said as he stood over the corpses of the fallen Straw Hats.
Below deck Franky was literally dragging Luffy and Nami to his workshop. Luffy had tears free falling down his face. Two years of training. Two years of separation. Two FREAKING years and he was still unable to protect everyone.
"Franky stop we have to fight! We can't just leave Zoro to die!" Nami yelled with tears falling down her face.
"Luffy, Nami, I'm sorry but there was nothing we can do against him. Our only hope is that my newest invention works." Franky said as they reached his latest invention. He grabbed the blue cloth and pulled it off revealing a small contraption no bigger than a snail phone booth.
"We don't have time for your crazy inventions!" Nami yelled at the shipwright.
"You're right we don't have much time, so…" but he was cut off by a deep familiar voice.
"Did you honestly think that you could get away from me?" Akainu said with his entire body covered in magma.
'How did he find us so quickly?' Franky thought. Looking up he noticed that Akainu had melted a path strait down to where they were. "DAMN IT! LUFFY! NAMI! GET IN THE MACHINE NOW!" he roared pushing them into the time machine and initiating the countdown.
"I will ask you once. Get out of the way."
"NEVER!" Franky yelled as he held his hands together and prepared to launch his laser beam attack. "Eat This! Franky~" Franky glanced down to see his arms reduced to a pile of molten metal.
"I don't have time to deal with you." Akainu said mere inches from Franky as he grabbed the Cyborg's head with a magma hand. BOOOM He squeezed and there was an explosion of molten metal and magma shooting everywhere.
"FRANKY!" both Nami and Luffy screamed
"You two are next." He said as he approached the final two Straw Hats, only for Luffy to step out and stand before him.
"RAAAAAAHHHH!" Luffy roared like a wild animal as he charged the Fleet Admiral. "YOU BASTARD!"
Sakazuki leaned out of the way as he brought up a black leg to intercept the rubber pirate. BOOOM The marine's heel exploded like a volcano and propelled his Haki reinforced foot right into Luffy's face.
Sakazuki turned towards Nami who slid to the floor of Franky's workshop in fear. FWOOOM Akainu ignited his right arm and readied it to kill Nami. Each step the marine took forward Nami pushed and squirmed back half the distance until Sazazuki was practically on top of her.
Tears streaming down her face Nami closed her eyes and waited what fate had in store for her but Akainu's blow never came. Peeking out of her eyes she could see an emotion on the old marine's face that no one had ever seen before, shock.
"…Rose?" He only said one word before dropping his guard slightly and Luffy reappeared and kicked him in the head, away from Nami.
"GEAR SECOND: HARDEN!" Luffy cried as he stood between Akainu and Nami. Thowing his steaming left arm back as it turned black he glared at the Fleet Admiral. "I won't let you touch her!" he growled in a very beast like tone "GOMU GOMU NO" He roared as his arm ignited in a torrent of red flames.
"You won't escape!" Akainu's right arm also ignited into magma and flames as it billowed off black smoke. Holding his hand in a claw fashion Sakazuki charged Luffy.
"RED HAWK/MEIGO!" The two men struck each other's arm. FWOOOM the heat and blaze form Akainu's attack was so intense that it completely tore through and incinerated Luffy's left arm.
"AAAARGH!" Luffy screamed in pain as he clutched the burning stump that was his left arm. Through the pain Luffy bit into his right arm as it turned black. Blowing air just into his arm Luffy cocked back the now massive muscle fist. "KONG GUN!"
Akainu raised both his arms to defend himself but the pirate's attack was powerful enough to break through his defense and strike him in the chest. Luffy roared as his blow struck Akainu in the chest causing him to be thrown through the Thousand Sunny and into his own flagship.
"Luffy! Get in the count down is almost At Zero!" Nami screamed at her Rubber Captain
"Right!" Luffy said as his arm deflated and he staggered towards the machine.
"Oh please work." Nami prayed as the door closed behind Luffy as Captain and Navigator were cramped in a tiny closet.
"I'll admit that you have impressed me son of Dragon. But your road end here." Sakazuki declared as both his arms turned into magma. "RYUSEI KAZAN!"
At the same time Kizaru and Fujitora both readied their own attacks as a scene that could only be described as Apocalyptic unfolded in front of the Marines.
"FIRE!" Ryokugyu ordered the soldiers. Soon the Admirals' attacks were joined by countless cannon balls.
Laser beams, Meteors, Cannon Balls and Magma rained down on the Thousand Sunny and the sea surrounding her. Some of the falling debris smashed into her deck and through her sails as they began to scuttle her.
Her beams moaned and cracked. Shards of the legendary Adam Wood splintered and fell into the boiling sea. Her sails became tattered and began to burn while the glass portholes were shattered. All the plants in her garden burned as did her grassy deck and the small grove of tangerine trees.
Her crow's-nest was struck by a meteor and exploded into the waters before her mast fell towards the bow and smashed a part of her figure head. Her luxury bathroom was blasted off into the sea.
Her once proud lion face seemed to be crying as her entire crew was now gone and the last thing everyone saw before she sunk beneath the waves was her flag, a black flag with a skull and cross bones, burning.
Back in the present, or something close to that, Nami held Luffy close to her. His head was buried in her chest and he would not stop wailing. With his single arm Luffy held Nami as tightly as he could as if she would disappear if he let her go.
"Its OK Luffy." Nami whispered into his ear through her own tears. "I'm still here. We're safe."
"Why?" Luffy asked slightly agitated and angry. "Why did this have to happen?"
"…" Nami didn't reply. Instead she buried her face into his shoulder and held her captain tightly.
"Please Nami, don't leave me." Nami listened to Luffy as he kept mumbling the same five words over and over into her shoulder. "I don't want to be alone. Not again."
Moving her hands in circles on his back she said "Don't worry, I'm never going to leave you alone Luffy."
"Hey am I interrupting something you two lovebirds?" a new voice said. Immediately both Straw Hats broke apart at speeds that would make Kizaru look slow with blushes clearly visible on both of their faces as they turned toward the new voice. They were stunned to see none other than Portgas D Ace.
"What's the matter you both look like you've seen a ghost?" he asked nonchalantly.
"A-Ace? Is it really you?" Luffy asked barley able to contain his happiness.
"Yep it's me little Bro." he said as he found himself tackled in a half bear hug by Luffy.
"I-I I've missed you so much Ace." Luffy said through the tears that cascaded down his face.
"I missed you too Luffy. Now let's get your girlfriend involved in this conversation because it is very important." At this statement Nami and Luffy went so red they could make tomatoes jealous of their color.
"SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Luffy screamed so loud that if they were back in the real world the whole world probably would have heard him.
"I'm only kidding. Sheesh what does it take for a guy to mess with his little bro honestly you poke him then he'll take a full swing at your head." Ace began saying as if he was addressing someone else that was present.
"Any who I'm here because the big guy up stair has decided that he will give you both another chance, just one though."
"What?" Luffy questioned
"You mean Franky's machine worked? We're going back in time?"
"No and Yes." Ace said "Technically speaking Franky's Machine did not work and you both actually died when the Marines eradicated your ship and crew. Right now, we're in Limbo."
"But we're still being sent back right?" Nami asked.
"Of course!" Ace decreed.
"Then what about my Nakama? Why aren't they being sent back with us?" Luffy demanded to which Ace smiled.
"Well you see I can't tell you about your crew but I can tell you that I'm here to help you with this one last chance." He said waving his hands.
Suddenly two pieces of fruit appeared in his hands one was a deep sea blue, stem sprouting out of the top while the other looked like a cluster tangerines with little lightning bolts coming off of them. It was a sky blue, both of them had swirls that went in a curly pattern which was a dead ringer for what they were.
"Are those Devil Fruits?" Nami asked
"Yep and the big guy wants you to have them."
"Why, I already have the Gomu Gomu no mi?" Luffy asked.
"Well for starters Luffy, he added a massive power boost to the Gomu Gomu no mi; he made it a hybrid devil fruit. This bad boy has the powers of the Gomu Gomu no mi, the Mizu Mizu no mi and the Gura Gura no mi." Ace said while holding up the deep blue fruit. "Now for Nami she's going to get a hybrid of the Goro Goro no mi, Kaze Kaze no mi, and the Yuki Yuki no mi. Three weather based devil fruits, I like to call it the Arashi Arashi no Mi."
"Seriously why are you giving me something so powerful?" Nami asked "That thing definitely has enough power to blow up an island."
"The reason you both will get these powers is because neither of you can take physical attributes with you. In other words you will not be as physically strong as you are now except for your knowledge and Haki ability you cannot take anything else." Nami understood this in other words she would be useless to Luffy until she gets her perfect climatact.
"In other words, I won't be of any use to Luffy unless I do eat this Fruit."
"Don't say that Nami." Luffy said putting his hand on her shoulder. "Don't you dare ever think that you are useless! You're the greatest Navigator in the world! And one day you'll map the entire world!" Nami began to cheer up and choke up.
"I will tell you guys that after about five years any marks on your body now will show up. In other words Luffy your chest scar will come back when you are twelve and Nami your tattoo will change to what you have now."
"What about my arm?" Luffy asked looking down at his missing appendage.
"Eh, don't worry about…WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR ARM!?" Ace was suddenly fully aware that his little brother was missing his arm.
"You're just noticing this now?" Nami asked
"HOLY CRAP! MY LITTLE BRO'S MISSING AN ARM! HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN?!"
"Akainu burned it off." Luffy said simply catching Ace's attention.
"That Bastard…" Ace growled. "Ooh if I was still alive I'd give him a piece of my mind!"
"So are you going to teach us how to use our new powers?" Nami asked
"Hell No! Where is the fun in that?" Ace replied with a pout.
"Alright when do we go back?" Luffy asked clearly excited to go on a brand new adventure and the best part was that he would get to see all of his friends again.
"We are going to send both of you into the past. Luffy will be sent twelve years into the past and Nami ten years into the past."
"Why then?" Nami asked. She really didn't want to go back that far since that was the year Arlong had arrived and made her life hell.
"Because that is when both of you declared your dreams. What better place for you to start your journey than at the beginning. Nami I know your life was hell from that point but this time you know that Luffy can help you end it and if anything you can end it sooner. Besides you can go out to sea and find us and stay with us if you want." Ace said with a smile. "Oh and don't worry, for you guys it'll feel instantaneous so Luffy will be fairly adjusted by the time you arrive Nami."
Just then a swirling blue portal opened up behind them. "Alright your ride is here. Jump right through." He said pushing the devil fruit into their hands "You'll find them soon after you arrive and when you do you had better eat them because you'll regain all of your memories from them. "Good luck you two. I'll see you soon!" Ace called out as he disappeared.
"Bye Ace! And thank you for your help!" Luffy and Nami called out as they turned toward the portal.
Taking each other's hands and looking at each other Luffy asked "Are you ready Nami?"
"After you Captain" she said in a playful manner as both of them took deep breaths they leaped into the unknown future fully aware that they would leave their marks in the history books again.
