Author's note: This was started the day the 'OMG-ACE-NOOOOOO!' chapter came out. I have no idea what's going to happen or how the reunion is going to be. So I'm just skipping to an unknown dimension where this is most likely NOT going to happen. Alright, so on with the story.
More notes: So here I am, after the manga time skip, and I'm crying tears of blood because I don't want to have to rewrite the story. I'll edit it, but I won't change the plotline. As for original character descriptions, just use the manga for reference. I'll describes OC's to the best of my abilities.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, I wish I did. But it's safer in Oda-sensei's hands.
Luffy fidgeted impatiently as he sat cross-legged on the figurehead of the Kuja Pirates' ship. The teenager donned a goofy grin when he saw the Sunny-gou come into view. The flower-like figurehead of the familiar ship seemed to smile back at him.
"Sunny!~" he screamed as his face broke out into a familiar and juvenile smile, unchanged by the years. He had missed the ship so much in the time that he and his crew had been separated. At the time of their separation, he despised bear-guy's actions, but most of all, he hated his own weakness and inability to protect his fellow nakama. After much thought, however, he realized it was for the best of the crew. The light admiral would've caught them good if Kuma hadn't sent them flying.
Luffy himself had been sent to an island where haki was the primary weapon. There, his latent ability was able to grow beyond anything he could've imagined! After his analysis of his own point of destination, he could only guess that bear-guy sent them all to separate islands to increase their fighting potential to prepare them for the challenge that they would meet in the New World.
He sent a rubber arm flying towards the figurehead and propelled the rest of his elastic body towards it. As he landed on the bow, he noticed that it was a lot glossier than it had been when he had last seen it. The glazed, wooden boards of the shipped were covered with a thick and jelly-like substance. Dismissing the odd state the Sunny was in, he grinned as he took in its familiarity and hope of the crew's reunion swelled within him.
Note: Just the prologue, hope you'll keep reading! RxR
