Prologue
It was a day that changed the world forever, as a black cloud tore through the sky. It spanned from the blues to the grand line, an unnatural phenomenon. The cloud covered the entire world for a while before disappearing as if nothing had happened.
The Marine's and World Government anticipated that it was the work of Blackbeard's devil fruit. Some pirates thought that as well, but some though it might be the work of some other fruit. Everyone was in a state of confusion, wondering who was it that engulfed the skies pitch black for three days.
However, everybody forgot about the incident in the following months, and dubbed it as an eclipse. They all resumed to their normal routines, Pirates being free, Marines 'suppressing' crimes, the World Government continued being corrupt and the Revolutionaries continued fighting them.
But everything was thrown back to chaos when one day, a doppelganger had appeared. Not any double, rather Gold Roger's look-alike. It took a while for Roger no.2 to explain himself, unfortunately the guy was confused as well until another one appeared, this time it was Akainu's double.
After some analyzing, researching and unexplained transporting, Vega Punk released his findings to the public, indicating that the black cloud that had engulfed the world merged several universes together and that people (doppelgangers) would randomly walk into a portal that would lead them to another universe.
Scientist all over the merged universes communicated with each other and came with a solution, each universe was given a name and all off their inhabitants had a color coded ribbon on their personal at all times, this way there would be no cause of confusion if someone ran into a double.
And through some twist of fate, even pirates agreed to having a ribbon on them, this way their other selves won't get targeted by marines and their notorious reputations will stay up in the air. Another bonus was that the doppelgangers sometimes had different names or ages, and in some rare cases the same exact name but a different gender.
And thus the age of doubles has begun, bringing a new level of excitement and fear to the world. Some relished in the joy of meeting their other's while some such as the celestial dragons resented the idea. Some enjoyed living in an alternate universe and decided to stay there for the rest of their lives. The impact was huge and no one was denying it.
A/N: So this is for the prologue, it basically says how One Piece characters meet their doppelganger's. Also may I add that there is more than one double, since there are many universes. This going to be random one shot style and is completed for the time being, updates will be completely random. I am open for suggestions and requests. And another side note, the 'GrandLine Universe' have a green ribbon for their color code. Also Roger's double is called Floyd (First Name) and is a journalist from Universe 2, while Akainu's is Fred Ransow, a politician from Universe 3. Oh and I almost forgot, some universes such as 2 and 3 while be First Name, Last Name type of thing.
