Hello my awesome fans and readers! So a few weeks back my Fanfic sensei, Brunetta6, put up a drabble collection for her amazing One Piece Fanfic, Slightly Overdone Chocolate Chip Pancakes. (or SOCCP for short). So I gave her the idea for a drabble competition between us. What if her fan character, Vera, got sent to the Skypiea arc of One Piece? Now before you go on any further please read Brunetta6's Fanfic SOCCP, to actually understand what you're reading in this Fanfic. Anyways whoever has the most reviews will win the competition. I'm determined not to lose because Skypiea is my favorite arc. Enjoy Chapter 1! I put a small description of Vera and what happened last time in SOCCP but to get all the details read SOCCP.
Beware! This Fanfic will contain mild bad language, angst here and there, and changes to the Skypiea arc to make it a bit more interesting. No characters, story line plots will be taken out of the arc, but will be changed slightly to spice up this Fanfic.

Chapter 1: A Wrinkle in Time
It was a fairly sunny day in the New World. Despite weather in the Grand Line being unpredictable, it seemed that the weather would be normal for once. The Thousand Sunny sailed through the waves majestically, with its lion figurehead facing whatever direction where the Straw Hats next destination was located. On the Sunny were doing their regular things. Zoro was training with his extremely heavy weights, Franky was in his workshop building who-knows-what, and Nami was navigating by following her Log Pose. Meanwhile Sanji was in the kitchen with a figure with soft-looking chocolate brown curly hair. Her name is Vera Rosethorne, a beautiful 17-year old who has become the newest crew member of the Mugiwaras. After everything that happened on before and after Kibo Hana Island, with the marines, Kizaru, and Vera getting a 100,000,000 beri bounty on her head, Luffy decided to let her in the crew.
After everything had happened she had gotten quite close to all the Straw hats. Luffy liked her a lot, maybe a little too much to be honest. Zoro sees her as an annoyance, and she lives up to this position towards him, and she gets along with the other Strawhats as well.
Vera stood next to Sanji in the kitchen watching him prepare some food. She recently became a protégé to him, and sensei to Vera. At the moment Sanji was teaching Vera how to cook at fast speeds like he did. Vera was having some difficulties, such as dropping cooking utensils and spilling ingredients.
"Ugh… I'm sorry Sanji-kun! I can't get the hang of this…" she said with a small pout.
Sanji, being the sucker for women that he is at times quickly forgave her, despite not knowing exactly what she said.
"Sorede ī no yo!" he said with hearts in his eyes. "Watashi wa ima made kore o kirei ni shimasu. Kyūkei o totte iku!" It's fine! I'll clean this up right now. Go take a break!
Vera was guessing he was saying something about him cleaning it up so she smiled a bit.
"Thank you Sanji-kun!" she said giving him a hug on her way out.
Vera walked out of the kitchen and headed to the deck of the ship where she found Usopp looking through a spyglass into the distance of the vast sea around them. He seemed to be focusing on something in the sky.
"Usopp?" she said in concern. "What's wrong?"
Usopp, next to Robin, was probably the only other person that was learning little bits and pieces of English as he spent more time with Vera.
In broken English he managed to say, "Skie…dark?" He said questionably as he handed the spyglass to Vera.
She looked through and saw that the sky was pitch black, and that they were sailing right into it. In the distance they heard thunder clapping, sounding as if a giant was clapping his hands. The waves rose up into the air as if there was almost no gravity whatsoever.
Vera's eyes widend as she saw what could look like a huge storm. She ran off trying to look for Nami and to warn everyone else. She found Nami in the women's quarters, sitting on a couch resting. Nami looked up as Vera ran into the room. Vera quickly said "Arashi Biggu!" storm big!
Nami quickly got up and ran outside to the deck, looking towards the storm that was coming closer and closer to the ship. Usopp came with the rest of the crew, except Luffy, who he couldn't find. They started to fold in the sails and prepare the Sunny for the storm. As they entered the storm they noticed that it was very strange. The ship wasn't getting rocked all which ways, the winds weren't that strong, and the thunder almost went with a rhythm. Even for Grand Line weather, it was too weird.
Straw Hats POV
"Huh? What's going on?" asked Usopp. "There's nothing happening? What kind of storm is this?!"
Nami to, was confused as she looked around trying to see if there was anything nearby. Suddenly in the distance, she saw a small silhouette getting closer, but was too hard to see. "Usopp!" she yelled "Look through your spyglass to see what's in the distance!" she said as she pointed to the silhouette that was still coming closer.
Usopp put the spyglass to his eye to see the approaching object. He looked through and saw a raft-ship thing and a jolly roger. A jolly roger with three skulls and six crossbones. Usopp tried to remember if he had ever seen a jolly roger like that but couldn't. He kept looking until he saw a big figure with a black beard on the ship. Usopp then remembered back to when a man tried to capture the crew on their way to Skypiea. Then he realized who that ship thing belonged to. Usopp's eyes popped out as he screamed "It's Blackbeard! And his crew! Their coming right at us!"
Chopper started to freak out with Usopp "Blackbeard!? The Yonko!?" he screamed.
Luffy had been in the crow's nest of the Sunny. He noticed how the sky was getting darker, and the rest of the crew was trying to navigate through it, but he sensed something wasn't right. Even though he wasn't the smartest in the science of weather and navigation, he felt that this wasn't an ordinary storm. The waves were too high, the thunder occurred to constantly with no lightning anywhere in sight. Suddenly he heard Usopp and Chopper scream.
"Blackbeard?! The Yonko!?"
Luffy got up and looked into the distance and saw Blackbeard's raft-ship. "Eh!? What's going on?" He said as he climbed down the crow's nest to the others. His eyes suddenly got a dead serious look.
Suddenly, an object went flying from the raft-ship. It hurdled through the air at a tremendous speed until it finally landed on the deck of the Sunny.
"Ow! Jesus! That was a horrible idea getting him to throw me to Mugiwara's ship! Oh well. At least I made it!" Said a huge figure getting up from the spot he landed on. It was a hard to tell over a sudden darkness that overcame the ship but everyone could tell who it was.
Vera froze. She suddenly realized that Blackbeard, the Blackbeard who took down Ace and Whitebeard, was just a few steps away from her.
The wind and thunder suddenly came back, but stopped when Blackbeard yelled "San Juan! Enough with the weather tricks!" The sounds and wind stopped as the Giant San Juan Wolf said "Sorry Captain!" As he put his hands in the sea to swim.
"Blackbeard." Said Luffy with a lot of disgust. "What the hell are you doing on my ship!?" Yelled Luffy.
Blackbeard smirked, and then broke out in a evil laughter. "Zehahahaha! Well, Mugiwara, I'll tell you." He said with his usual twisted smile.
"I recently was thinking of how you're gonna be of a pain in my ass in the future. So I went to thinking. What if Mugiwara was no more?" He said with bit of evil in his eyes.
The whole Strawhat crew froze in fear as they realized the Yonko in front of them, had the intentions to kill their Captain.
Luffy didn't hesitate to prepare for a fight, as he went 2nd gear.
"Blackbeard. I won't let you hurt me or my nakama!" He said as he stretched his arms back. "Gomu-Gomu no! Jet Bazooka!" He yelled as his arms slammed into Blackbeard, knocking him across the ship.
Blackbeard struggled to get up, but finally got to his feet. He then started to laugh. "Zehahaha! Mugiwara, thats all I need to begin my plan to kill you!" He said as his Yami-Yami powers started to create a dark aura around him.
"Black Hole!" He said as a tiny black hole started to form, gradually getting bigger. Then with his hand he made a white quake bubble appear with his Gura-Gura powers. He stuck his hand into the black hole.
At first nothing happened, but seconds later the black hole started to change in shape rapidly. It looked as if something was exploding in it. Finally it stopped jerking around and returned to normal. But had a purple hue to it instead of black and gad a spiral in it.
Suddenly the black hole grew to a huge size and started swallowing up everything. One by one, a Straw hat would be sucked in, as the rest who had yet to be swallowed up by it watched in horror.
"Zehahaha! See you later Mugiwara!" Bellowed Blackbeard.
Luffy was horrified as memories from Sabaody came back to him as his nakama disappeared one by one. "Blackbeard! You'll pay!" Yelled a now enraged Luffy. He tried to attack Blackbeard, but got sucked into the black hole. The last thing he saw was Blackbeard laughing at him.
(...)
Luffy found himself floating through an odd almost slide like path, being pulled by some odd force. There were twists and turns and many colors of the rainbow were flashing by rapidly. His eyes were starting hurt from the colors but, suddenly he heard several calls for him.
"Luffy! Where are you!? Yelled a frightened Usopp
"Luffy, help!" yelled both Chopper and Vera.
"Damnit where is he?!" yelled Sanji.
From what Luffy could tell they must all be together still. After a few twists and turns, he was finally reunited with his crew.
Usopp and Chopper were both relieved to see that their captain was ok. "Luffy!"
But then Usopp and Chopper both screamed. "Luffy!? Where's your scar?!" they said as they pointed to their Captain's chest. Luffy looked at his chest to see that his scar was slowly disintegrating away.
Luffy wasn't entirely freaked out, at least not until he looked at Franky. "AHHH! Franky! Your body is…!"
Franky looked at his body and saw that his huge mechanical arms were now back to their former appearance before he had been teleported by Kuma on Sabaody. "Eh!? Un-super! What the hell is going on!?"
Then one by one each Straw-hat were changed to how they looked 2 years ago. Zoro had both his eyes, Usopp's hair was shorter and suddenly was missing his pop greens, and Sanji's hair went back to the other side of his face.
Luffy started to laugh at Sanji saying "Ha-ha! I guess you didn't change your appearance much huh Sanji?"
"Shut up you rubber bastard!" said an enraged Sanji. "Don't you see what's happening?! It's as if were going in reverse!"
"Sanji is right." Said Robin. "And I think I know what's going on. I think Blackbeard's plan was to throw us back in time."
The whole rest of the crew suddenly went silent. "Back in time? How is that even possible?" asked Nami, who noticed her breasts were getting smaller. "Yipe!"
Robin, despite her knowledge could not give an answer. "For years, time travel has just been a theory. But somehow Blackbeard figured it out." She said, somewhat upset that an idiot like Blackbeard figured out something that people have been trying to figure out for probably centuries if not more.
The only person not changing was Vera. She stayed exactly the same. Maybe it was because of her semikami powers, or maybe because she wasn't of this world, but still she was confused.
Vera was about to comment on what was happening to her, but was suddenly cut off as two more black holes appeared in the vortex the Strawhats were floating through. But only these black holes were different. They were only sucking in Franky and Brook. They tried to escape but it was no use.
Franky struggled not get sucked in but, couldn't fight the force of the black hole. "Don't worry guys I'll be fine!" he said as his black hole closed.
As Brook got sucked in, he yelled "Ahh! I'm gonna die! Wait, but I'm alre-" he was cut off as the black hole closed. Everyone in the crew was terrified as the two crew members were just swallowed up before them. Luffy was almost going hysterical as even more memories on Sabaody came back to him.
"Franky…Brook…." Said Luffy, trying to fight back tears. "Damnit! I told myself I wouldn't let anyone die again!" he said still trying not to cry. His face was red with fury and sadness, small tears made their way down his face.
Luffy looked towards the front part of the portal they were traveling through and saw a bright light. He started to laugh hysterically, realizing they were all gonna die.
The rest of the remaining crew looked at their Captain as they saw him breakdown. They had never seen him like this before.
Luffy looked at all of them, face now streaming with tears, as he said "I'm sorry everyone…I'm sorry I couldn't protect you…" he said as they approached the end of the portal into the bright light. They all blacked out.
(…)
Luffy woke up on his back, looking at the sky as he awoke. He saw that there were no clouds above him. He thought he was dead until he realized he was on a pirate ship. The exterior of the ship seemed oddly familiar. The ran to the front of the ship, and froze when he saw the figurehead. It was a sheep. "M-Merry?" he said in disbelief. Then he looked over the figurehead into the water. Only expect it wasn't water. It was a sea of clouds.
