Hello everyone and welcome to "Reborn: Return of the King" This story will be a time travel fic with a different devil fruit Luffy and a sibling? This universe is weird.
I've been thinking about making a time travel fic for a while but I kinda wanted to make it different from the other stories with a similar theme when this idea came to my head last night and unlike my other ideas I'm going to actually put this one on paper. There's only one problem and it's because I'm torn between 2 devil fruits, the Mera Mera no Mi and the Yami Yami no Mi, mainly because of the consequences that will have on the timeline and how to solve the problem of the previous owner. I've also considered the Goro Goro no Mi, but I scrapped that because of a certain moment that will happen in the story (and also because it just fits with Enel's personality). You can help on the decision but the veredict will be mine to decide. But enough chit-chat and let's get on with the story.
This story will also follow the manga version so no fillers and boats falling.
One Piece is owned by our lord Eiichiro Oda
Raftel, 1 month after the "incident"
When he imagined the feelings that he would get when he would find the One Piece, he certainly never thought that he would feel like this.
Pain, sorrow, despair, emptiness
Not even the giant mountains of gold that would probably make his navigator jump on it and start swimming like an old duck (you better get that reference) could fill the void that was eating him up from the inside, giving him suicidal thoughts when watching the beach and hauting nightmares filled with gore.
Luffy was a broken man.
He still remembered how his nakama forced him to go on Raftel by putting his body on a man launching cannon that Franky had built so that they could end their service to the man that saved them by making him acomplish his dream. Luffy of course refused since there were still a quarter of the enemy forces left, but the Strawhat Fleet was on the brink of exhaustion, after all, it's quite hard to take on all of the marines avaiable plus the remnants of the Big Mom, Kaido and Blackbeard pirates. So they decided to send Luffy to the Island with an emotional goodbye, with everyone crying and giving him hugs and on the case of Nami an unsuspecting kiss, since he thought that Nami considered him like a brother. The last thing he saw was the Sunny auto-destructing herself to kill every enemy in the area, in which it succeded.
Now Luffy, the "supposed" Pirate King but he would never consider himself like that, since he thought that he didn't deserve it, was on the brink of insanity, and with no one else to help him in this tough time he decided to end his life, if he wasn't constantly thinking about how rude it would've been considering his nakama sacrifice. So he decided to just accept it and live the rest of his life in this Island.
"Finally decided to calm down?" An angelic voice asked.
Luffy's eyes snapped open at the sound of the voice and after he got up he was greeted by a divine being. It was a woman with wavy blond hair that reached her knees, eyes the colour of the ocean, lips red like roses, a "nice" figure, a white dress and a tiara. Knowing this being was powerful thanks to his Haki, Luffy went on to ask carefully who she was.
"Who the hell are you lady?"
The woman sighed and giggled "I see that even with the incident your naiveness and childness never left you, Monkey D. Luffy" The goddess responded, enunciating slowly his name at the end.
Luffy glared at the woman and said "If you want the treasure you can have it, I left it all in that place, most precisely in the cave over there"
"I have no interest in the treasure, in fact I have more interest in you" Said the women while slowly approaching him, giving him the wrong idea.
"O-Oi I'm still to young to be a father! Besides we just met!" Said Luffy who was currently panicking, mainly because of the fact that he still was pure. When he met his father he not just asked but demanded that his father would give him the talk since according to his gramps it was the father's job. By the end Luffy was a shivering mess and tried to avoid the 2 females of the ship while eyeing them suspiciously, which led to some embarassing moments like Luffy screaming rape when one of them would touch him. Eventually he calmed down but the suspicion was still there.
The goddess giggled again "No you're getting it wrong, I don't want to engage in sexual activities with mortal men, in fact I'll introduce myself. My name is Lachesis and I'm here to help you."
Hearing this Luffy got surprised for a second before asking "Helping me? How will you help me?"
"By allowing you to live with your friends again of course." Lachesis answered.
Luffy was stunned. Living with his friends again? It was what he most desired. He tried searching for any deception in Lachesis face but detected nothing, so he decided to ask.
"How, what, can you actually do that?"
"Yes I can" Lachesis responded "I have the power to make you reborn with your memories. You will also probably can use your Observation Haki at birth, but your Conqueror and Armament Haki will be drastically reduced due to you being just a normal human being. There will be a slight difference though."
"Oh really? What is it" responded the straw hat wearing man.
"Well you see every living being has a Destiny and each Destiny is important for the world to continue. You reaching Raftel at the cost of the people you cared about was important to the world, because then we wouldn't have this talk." Answered Lachesis with a smile on her face.
Luffy however was frowning, so his friends had to die just so this Lacha-whatever could talk to him? Hell no. But before Luffy could give her a piece of his mind she probably sensed his rage and decide to comfort him.
"Don't worry, this was done so that you could live with your friends, along with another person." Lachesis said mischeviously "This will also be your last avaiable chance since you can't erase her."
"Another person? Her?" Luffy asked while tilting his head in an adorable way.
"You'll see. Well time's up don't forget to train hard on your haki so that you will be strong enough to take on the World Government. Now bye bye." Lachesis said, while waving at him and giggling at the same time.
"Wait what? What do you mean? AND STOP GIGGLING YOU B-"Luffy couldn't complete the rest of his sentence because he was being wrapped in a bright light. After a few minutes the light was being interrupted by 2 people, a man that kind of looked like a doctor and a tall man with a dark green hood that was set down, which let Luffy see the tribal tatoos on his face and his raven coloured hair. Luffy imediately recognized the man as his father and tried to talk, only to let out a cry.
"Here's the boy Dragon-sama" said the doctor while giving him to his dad. Dragon smiled, which was really rare and said.
"Welcome to the world, Monkey D. Luffy!"
Luffy then understood what Lachila? Lachaca? Whatever, the nice lady said about being reborn. But before he could think of anything else, the doctor said
"Now the girl is coming!"
Girl? Di-Did Luffy had a twin sister when he was born? Luffy quickly remembered of the time that his dad had said how he was his only son, so there's no way th-
"Another person"
Oh so this is what Miss Goddess was saying about another person, he had a sister now! If she managed to get as strong as Luffy was when he reached Raftel then she would be a powerful ally.
"And welcome to the world as well, Monkey D. Lucy!"
L-L-LUCY!? Luffy didn't knew that Lucy was a girl's name! He even entered the Dressrosa Colliseum fight under that name, does that mean that they fought he was going to be a girl? He didn't think he received dirty looks, so maybe it's universal.
Ah whatever the only thing Luffy knew was that this time would be different, this time he would keep his friends, this time he would destroy the government, this time.
He was going to win.
And that's that, say hellooooooooooo to Lucy! I kind of imagined what would it be like if Luffy had a sister, which made me imagine overprotective Luffy and I just started chuckling by himself looking like an idiot. Like you may have noticed I will implement the LuffyxNami pairing, however rest assured there won't be a lot of cute relationship moments because I simply wouldn't like it too much that way, just like in One Piece. During alone time yes near the crew fuck no since they will want to keep it a secret.
I'll try to improve (I think my ways of writing dialogue are a bit shitty because I repeat a lot) but bear in mind that I write fast and sometimes words get stuck together, so don't sweat it.
That's about it, this has been PortgueseRonaldo, thanks for reading and stay tuned for the next chapter, see ya!
