I have been reading a few One Piece time travel fic, and decided to write my own. I wanted to try something more original (as far as a redo of a preexisting story can go) I haven't read any without Luffy going back, so in this one only Zoro will be going back. I hope you enjoy, and without further ado here's my first chapter.
Chapter 1: Loss
"I can't believe we made it, the final island before Raftel!" Usopp exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's been three and a half years." Said Nami.
"It looks so cool! Let's go now Nami!" Demanded Luffy.
"Wow! The sand is so soft!" Chopper said excitedly.
"Hey, Chopper take this!" Usopp said as he threw sand at Chopper.
"Oh yeah? Heavy point!" Chopper said as he transformed.
He grabbed two handfuls of sand and pelted Usopp with it.
"Hey, quit it! You're getting Nami-san dirty!" Sanji yelled.
" Hey, Usopp, Chopper!" Luffy yelled.
They both turned to Luffy.
"Gear third!" Luffy called out as his hand grew. He grabbed a ton of sand, and threw it at them, destroying a forest in the process.
"Luffy, don't do that, there could be a Poneglyph in there." Robin said.
"Sorry"
"Strawhat Pirates, surrender yourselves!!"
"Huh?!" They all called out.
"This is Navy Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, we have you surrounded! Give yourselves up now, or face total annihilation!"
"R-run!" Nami, Usopp, and Chopper all called out.
Akainu burst from a ship to the island with his devil fruit powers, dashing toward Franky.
"Franky Radical Beam!" He yelled out as a bright yellow light flew from his hands toward Akainu. It phased right through him.
"Franky!" Luffy called out as he ran towards him.
"Not so fast, Strawhat!" Smoker said as he appeared in a puff of smoke in front of Luffy.
"Move, Smokey!"
Luffy turned to see where Franky was, only to see Akainu punching through him, magma covering his fist.
"Sorry, everyone, I-I couldn't help." Franky said weakly, dead before he hit the ground.
"Franky!" Luffy Screamed as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Dammit, Smokey, you got in my way!"
Luffy punched him in the gut, causing him to cough up blood. Smoker retorted with a hardened Tempest Kick, sending Luffy flying.
Akainu ran towards Usopp next, readying his fist.
"S-sure death! S-sea stone star!" Usopp shouted, as a blue pellet shot from his slingshot. It embedded itself into his hand, causing him to stop.
"Fujitora! Cut my hand off!" Akainu screamed. He cut it off without hesitation, then Akainu continued his assault at Usopp, shooting magma at him, and after a few missed shots, melted Usopp's right arm off.
"Ahhhhh!!" Usopp Screamed.
"Usopp!" Chopper shouted, eating 3 rumble balls.
"Monster point!"
He punched at Akainu, narrowly missing.
"Meteor Volcano!" Akainu yelled, hurling meteors at Chopper.
They repeatedly hit Chopper, until he reverted into his hybrid form, unconscious. Akainu shot him with a burst of magma, burning him alive.
"Ch-ch-Chopper!" Usopp said between sobs, where Akainu went back to targeting him.
Akainu sent magma at him.
"Mil fleurs, gigantesco Mano!" Robin yelled, shielding Usopp from the impact, but burning her arms off her body.
Akainu turned toward Robin glaring at her menacingly.
Zoro ran to Robin, only to be stopped by Fujitora.
"Sorry, I know you guys are good people, but I'm under direct orders to bring you down." Fujitora said as they clashed swords.
"Oni Giri!" Zoro said as he slashed at Fujitora.
He blocked all three swords, pushing a chunk of rubble at Zoro.
Akainu sent a blade-like formation of magma toward Robin, who was then cut in half.
"R-Robin..." Luffy said, barely audible.
"Strawhat! Focus on our battle!"
"Shut up!" Luffy yelled back.
"Gear second!"
"Gomu gomu no jet pistol!"
He hit Smoker in the chest, knocking him into a tree.
He kicked Luffy to the ground, pinning him with his jitte.
"This is it, Strawhat, you're going to Impel Down."
Akainu once again ran to Usopp, who started to run away, avoiding Akainu's attack's. Once they got deep in the forest, there was a cliff, and Usopp was trapped.
"Finally, nowhere to run!" Akainu said.
He grabbed Usopp by the throat, and crushed his trachea, leaving him to suffocate on the floor.
Zoro and Fujitora's swords were locked, neither giving an inch. Zoro finally pushed him back, but regained his footing with a backflip.
"Please, just stop now, I don't want to kill you." Fujitora begged.
"No, I won't let my friends die in vain!" Zoro said with gritted teeth.
"Very well."
"Three sword style secret skill: three thousand worlds!"
He dashed at Fujitora, missing with two swords, but the third left a deep gash from Fujitora's lip to his ear, making it look like he had a large mouth.
Fujitora felt the wound, realizing he had cut all the way through, he resumed attacking, using his devil fruit to propel himself at Zoro, ready to slash him.
Akainu returned to the main battlefeild, where he targeted Nami, she noticed him, and grabbed out her Clima-tact, and released a weather egg. Letting out a black cloud.
Before she could act, Akainu came up with his fist coated in magma. Nami was sent flying, and hit a tree.
"Sorry, Nami-san, but you need to run while you have a chance! Go!" Sanji said as he pushed Nami away, taking the full impact of the punch, dropping to his knees.
"Scum." Akainu muttered as he decapitated Sanji with His magma blade.
"S-Sanji-kun! Nami Screamed.
Smoker was ready to knock Luffy unconscious, but he felt something cold slice up his back, causing him to drop his jitte.
"Soul Parade"
"Brook!"
"Are you okay, Luffy-san?"
"Yeah"
Smoker fell to the ground in a block of ice.
Akainu chased Nami to Luffy and Brook, shooting magma, but missing her.
Once she got to them, Akainu sent a long stream of magma shooting at her.
Fujitora forced Zoro to the ground with his powers, getting ready to bring his sword down.
"Do you have any last words?"
Zoro got up.
"Yeah, Nine sword style: Asura!"
Two heads and four arms appeared out of nowhere on Zoro's body, he approached Fujitora, bringing 9 swords to his neck, five missing, two hitting his shoulders, and the other two acting as a guillotine, slicing his head clean off. He headed towards Luffy and the others.
Nami gasped as she saw Brook bring up an ice barrier, only for it to be melted through shortly after. The magma melted right through Brook's bones, and hitting Nami, both fell to the floor, dead.
Luffy charged at Akainu, exchanging a few punches.
"Gear Fourth!"
Luffy changed into gear fourth, sending powerful wind gusts from his Kong gun, blowing Akainu's magma back a him.
"Meteor Volcano!"
"Gomu Gomu no Kong Gatling!"
Luffy broke up all of the meteors, but while doing that, Akainu sent magma toward him, but missing.
Akainu grew a magma fist the size of a giants, and threw it at Luffy.
"King Kong gun!" Their fists met, and after the explosion of magma was gone, Luffy revealed a mangled forearm, smoking from the heat, while Akainu was unharmed, and some chunks had fallen on Zoro's left arm, burning it off all the way up to his shoulder.
"You die hear, Strawhat!" Akainu exclaimed.
Luffy charged at Akainu, throwing his remaining arm back.
"Zoro, leave here now! Find the One Piece for me!" Luffy yelled.
"No, I can't just leave you here to fight him!"
"Go now, captain's orders!"
Zoro ran to the ship, and took off toward Raftel, tears in his eyes.
A few days and Zoro had arrived at Raftel, and climbed the cliffs. When he arrived at the top, he walked to a cave, but the floor beneath him collapsed, but his fall was broken by something on the bottom, he got up, and saw a whole cavern filled with gold and jewels.
"Luffy, Nami, Brook, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Usopp... Sanji, I found it, The One Piece." Zoro said with tears streaming down his face.
He exited the cavern, leaving the treasure behind, only to meet someone.
"Coby?"
"Zoro, this is a device that Dr.Vegapunk designed, it will take you back in time four years, here."
"C-Coby thank you."
"I need to leave before Sakazuki finds me."
Zoro pushed a yellow button on the remote, got dizzy and passed out.
Well there's chapter 1, I hope you enjoyed it, l know that Smoker was more bloodthirsty than normal, but I thought it would be more interesting to have him fight Luffy. Thanks for reading.
