inspired by The Anicmaniac Dudes "the will of D"
This is my first try on a story, so im sorry for any mistakes i might have done.
By now Luffys whole world had fallen apart, the marines had taken his nakama from him. He cried for all he was worth, and didn't notice the man closing in on him only to stop by his side. He could only think of his nakama whom been killed not long ago.
"They had finally reached Raftel, only to be ambushed by the marines ships. Apparently Akainu have decided to put most of the navy's forces on the task of killing the straw hats, and the man himself was leading the attack.
They did everything they could to protect the sunny from the oncoming attacks, by both Akainus lava and marine vessels cannon balls. But in the end sunny had taken to much damage and started to sink. while they were going for the life boats, since it would have been impossible to go for a marine vessel that was protected by only the strongest of the marines.
During their escape someone of the crew members were being shot and died. And Luffys eyes filled with sorrow, but he didn't stop. He had to stay strong and protect those still alive. As they proceeded more and more of his friends died, finally it was just him and Zoro left. Somehow they managed to get on a marine vessel, blinded whit rage he and Zoro started taking out the marines. But soon that vessel was sinking as well, and Luffy fell in to the water.
The next thing he remember is seeing Zoro jump in and pull him over the water surface only to dive again (still holding on to him). Then he had lost his conciseness, and woken up in a cave. After that he had wandered around looking for Zoro, and had found what was left of his burned corpse. After that he had collapsed after seeing his corpse. "
"Have you calmed down yet?" a strong yet soft voice spoke.
"w-w-who a-are you?" Luffy managed to stutter out.
"it does not matter." the man replied.
Luffy tilted his head and looked quiescently at the mysterious man, and spoke:
"then what am i'm going to call you, ossan?"
"that will work" the man replied with sweat drops.
"anyway, i'm here to offer you a chance to save your friends."
Luffy became very happy at the thought and started jumping around in joy. screaming:
"HOW?I'LL DO ANYTHING" over and over again much to the mans displeasure. Trying to calm the hyper boy down he finally burst out telling him to calm down.
"I'm gonna tell you, so just relax and let me explain."
"Okey" Luffy said as he seated himself down.
"So, i have the power to send you back in time. there you will have you're memories intact, as well as all you're experience and ability's. However your physical powers will decline depending on which age you revert into."
"Now i like to know if i where to help you, what would you change?" asked the man.
"I would become stronger, and stronger and stronger and stronger stronger stronger and then i would be able to protect them this time."
"is that all?"
"what do you mean?", Luffy asked tilting his head in confusion.
"i mean, you wouldn't do something about those who killed them" The man stated.
"hmm you've got a point there ossan. Aah that's right, Something needs to be done about the government. "
"hahahaha, if you say so. can't say i'm to fond of their ways. As of what i want from you are that you will fulfillan ancient prophecy.
"About a man that can sense other pain and show them compassion, even if they were enemy's. And let them join him in his quest if they are willing to do so. Where he eventually will change the world that we now know."
"I'll do it, anyone that wishes to join my crew shall, even if their my past enemy's." Luffy almost screams out determined.
"God, however if you would fail on you're word all those important to you shall meet this fate no matter what you do. Do you understand?" the man says darkly to Luffy.
"yes"
"great. If you are going to succeed you will need a few things. First i'm gonna give you this fruit, it's av very special devil fruit."
"I've already eaten one so i cant eat it." Luffy stated
"like i said this one is special, and there fore you can eat it even if you already have a devil fruit power. This is the mizu mizu no mi. With it you will not only gain control over water as well as transform in to it. but have the same ability's as fishmen "
"ooh that's so cool, i will be able to swim." Luffy shouted whit stars in his eyes.
"yes you will. the second thing is this leather bag, here you will be able to store all you're treasure in a space that never ends. and only YOU will be able to take anything out from this purse. And third this katana. "
The man then held out a beautiful looking katana,its holding was white embedded with different blue colors. Where the sheath had a wave pattern, shining beautiful in the faint light. Luffy stod there holding the blade and admiring it, he wondered what Zoro would have thought of the blade.
"and i have a few advises for you as well and that is to learn more about things, if you are to succeed you will need more then strength and wisdom, you must know how to achieve it. to put it simple you need to train to use you're brain more."
"I know" Luffy said seriously, with a look of determination on his face.
" i will do everything i can to get stronger in body and mind. "
the man looked at the young man pleased.
"Good, then before i send you back to when you gained you're devil fruit i will teach you how to use you're new devil fruits power a bit, and then help you in becoming wiser. "
Luffy nodded and then ate the mizu mizu no mi, which tasted awful.
"you know, since you are going to train me for a while it would be good knowing you're name, ossan"
"hahaha of course, of course. its Baien."
a few years later. Baien sends Luffy of, and now his adventure begins once again. Only this time he has two goals, to become the king of pirates and take down the government.
