Year Of The King
Amazon Lily...Pre-Time Skip
"Luffy, Won't you marry me? Please!" Boa Hancock pleaded for the umpteenth time in the past month and a half.
"No. And will you please stop asking, because every time I say something to you, you always think I'm proposing to you." Luffy said, about to open his door to his room in the palace.
"Oh… alright." Hancock said with a dissapointed sigh.
"I love you!" Hancock cried as Luffy ignored and closed the door in her face.
As Luffy walked to his bed, he thought of his crew… wishing they were safe, they were his crewmates, his friends, his family. His life.
He lied in the bed, cold from a day's worth of just simply sitting still, not even one bit at all; still he thought of them, endlessly to the point where it got simply exhausting to even think about.
There he stood… In a pool of blood, with a dreadful face, and grim expression, full of pain, agony, and sorrow…
His friends were lying at his feet, they were lifelessly cold, limp, and dreadfully pale, and oozing with a crimson substance.
They all had a look of sadness, full of pain and agony, and absolute dread.
He looked in horror, his shock leaving him speechless, unable to utter a word or gasp one bit.
"Why…just please, why them? Why not me? Who did this!" Luffy yelled, nearly in tears.
"Who would do such a thing! Who the hell did this to them!"
Luffy fell to his knees, in tears, wishing this was not for real.
He clawed at his head, his hair in his hands, he couldn't take this anymore, he wished for this to end right now.
"Luffy! You were screaming in your sleep. You worried me. Are you alright?" Hancock said worriedly.
Beads of sweat rolled down his face, down toward the sheets. He was at a loss for words.
A moment of silence filled the room, it was like no one was there at all.
He finally spoke.
"Yes… yes I'm alright, thank you for asking me anyways." Luffy said in a calm voice.
"Does that mean you will-"
"What do you think I am going to say?" Luffy repsonded.
"Yes?" Hancock asked.
Luffy gave her a stern look.
"Am I right?" Hancock continued.
"No. You're very wrong. But thank you for waking me up, I really appreciate it." Luffy said.
"No p-problem..." Hancock responded shyly, a blush hidden on her face.
"Goodnight." Luffy stoically uttered.
As the door closed and the little amount of light that lit the room disappeared, so did his fears, and soon after, Luffy was deep in his sleep once again.
"Goodbye everyone! Thank you for everything!" Luffy yelled as he sailed away, heading toward his sacred destination.
He was waving to everyone, and as the ship faded away, Hancock stared, with a light tint of pink on her face said the question that is and will be the same…
"Does that mean-"
"Good god, no!" Elder Nyon responded.
"My friends… I'll be coming back to you very soon…" Luffy thought.
"Everyone...I hope you're ready for the New World!" Luffy yelled out into the open sea.

"Luffy, what are sending those small pieces of paper for?" Hancock asked.
"They're letters to my Nakama to tell them to come to Sabaody Archipelago in Two Years… That'll give them time to prepare, to get stronger than before, so we can prevent something like that ever happening again." Luffy said.
"My Friends… I'm here. Get ready." Luffy thought as he began to walk through the city of Sabaody Archipelago.
