Scene or place: time
"Den den mushi talk/short memory"
Luffy meets shanks at 6, and after a sea adventure where he was thought lost at 7 and returns when he is 10 he also meets ace and Sabo that same year, he does occasionally disappear but always returns within a day or three, he disappeared for weeks after ace leaves, though he always manages to reappear within days of garp visiting and disappears again a few days after he leaves
On an unrelated note; the sound of a bell ringing could be heard all across paradise, mariejoa and large parts of east and south blue exactly one day after Ace set sail

Story start
Chapter 1: luffy's secret
Unknown place: unknown time
"So this is the last time you will visit for a while, eh?" an old bearded man asked
"Yep" a young man wearing a strawhat answered with a smile "it's hard to disappear while traveling on a ship, I'll keep in contact with you. We do have a queen den den mushi here after all."
"And one of those rare white ones connected to it" the bearded man added "go, Luffy, tomorrow is the big day after all, isn't it?"
"Yea it is" the young man, Luffy, answered "keep everyone in line please old man Gan Fall"
"That I will do 'god' Luffy"
"I'll visit with my crew sometime in the future with my crew, the plans for 'it' better be ready when I'm back, I wanna take it to that water 7 place the voice keeps talking about, see if they can build 'it'."
With that, 'god' Luffy a.k.a. Monkey D. Luffy in the blue sea, left the white white sea, Angel island and Skypea in a flash of lightning, he would return about a month later with a lamb ship and 5 crew members
Dawn Island, windmill village: the next day
"Bye everyone!" Luffy shouted "I'll see you guys again when I'm pirate king"
On the shore a group was waving Luffy goodbye, and a grumpy old man was grumbling about how he was going to ruin the village's reputation
His journey was about to end when a large sea king appeared. However, a blast that felt like power and will personified scared the beast off, it wouldn't be seen for a month. And Luffy left laughing.
East blue seas near shells town: a few days and a few misadventures later, including one involving a whirlpool
Luffy was in the air, using one of the three techniques gramps showed him during one of his visits in an attempt to convince Luffy to join the marines, geppo he called it, after his boat sank in a whirlpool. After going a bit into the air he felt a large concentration of voices moving in the distance behind him. He turned around and could spot one of those luxury cruisers in the distance and decided to sneak onto the ship. After ascending even higher he flew towards the ship, knocked the watch men out for a few minutes and dropped onto the ship, thinking about how he learned about haki and subsequently decided to keep his power hidden for as long as possible…
Flashback, above Skypiea, gods temple: Luffy just turned eight and had his DF for just half a year
"Old man Gan fall I've been … feeling people and animals ever since I ate this fruit" Luffy asked "do you know what that is?"
This surprised Gan fall and, thinking he knew what it was said: "I think I know what it is, it's something we call mantra here"
"mantra?" Luffy asked
"yes, mantra, although I've met a group from the blue sea that called it observation haki" gan fall said " it allows you to hear the voices of people's minds, and allows you to know where they are, measure their strength and if you get better, even know what they are going to do even before they do it"
"awesome!" Luffy shouted in wonder, before he added "but if they call it observation haki, could there be more forms of haki?"
'the boy is smarter than he looks, he just doesn't show it often' Gan fall thought before explaining: "that is what I thought too, so when I asked the explained the 3 forms of haki: the first is observation haki, or as we call it, mantra that I just explained, the second is armament haki, in its base form allows on to form an invisible coat of armor around your body and use it to hit devil fruit users despite the immunities they have" "so someone could hit me even though I'm electricity?" Luffy interjected.
"yes, it looks like the training we gave you payed off after all" gan fall said
"I still don't like to think, but at least it doesn't hurt anymore" Luffy agreed
"let's get back to haki, the last one is something I'm sure you have, seeing how you knocked out almost everyone here not long after you arrived here without doing anything, it's called conquerors haki, and allows you to overpower weak willed minds and cause them to faint, and allows you to tame even the most dangerous of creatures, at least, that is what that Rayleigh fellow explained, speaking of him, he did give me his number, so I will try calling him."
Gods temple: a few minutes later
"Hello this is Shakkie's rip off bar with whom am I speaking?" a female voice asked
"You are speaking with Gan fall, an old friend of Rayleigh, who gave me this number, speaking of him, can I speak to him?
"You're lucky, he is just back from one of his trips, here, *rummaging* hello, silvers Rayleigh here, what can I help you with old friend?"
"Well I just met this boy who seems to have talent in both mantra and this conquerors haki you told about when you and roger were here. And I was hoping you could train him"
"I will if you can send him here, seeing how getting up to you is kinda hard."
"that won't be a problem, the boy has eaten one of those devil fruits and is perfectly capable of travelling alone through the sky"
"Well that makes things easier. I'm at shabody, just tell the boy to look for an island near the red line with lots of bubbles and look for the strongest aura, or voice, as you guys call it up there. Send him once you think he's ready to go, ill be waiting for 2 months before I go explore the island again, I will also be testing him before training him so he better have some spirit"
"I will get him one of my best mantra users to train him and send I'm to you within the month, and don't worry I'm sure he will pass you test, he does remind me a lot of roger, after all" gan fall said
Skypiea: the next day
"Luffy this is one of my guards, his name is frank, and he will be training you in using mantra listen to him and train as hard as possible, but don't use your power, okay?"
Luffy nodded with a serious face, and after listening to the guards explanation got started training together
Shabody: start of the second month
Lightning boomed through the sky a short distance from the red line and suddenly shot away from the red line and impacted on a calm patch of mangrove just before a bar called shakkie's rip-off bar. The lightning formed into a young boy wearing a strawhat. The door opened just after Luffy finished reforming.
The first thing Rayleigh saw was a strawhat that looked very, very familiar and a young boy with a scar under his left eye wearing it.
"Where is your arm, and for that matter, where is the strawhat you are so fond of?" "those? I bet them both on the new generation"
Shaking himself out of the memory, Rayleigh thought to himself 'well if shanks bet om him, I'm going to be training him no matter what, I'll still going to be testing him though' "so you are the boy my friend Gan fall spoke of, what is your name?"
"I'm monkey D. Luffy, I'm going to be the pirate king!"
"Monkey D. eh? Are you related to Monkey D. Garp by any chance?" Rayleigh asked 'another D.? Maybe he is the one'
"you know gramps?!" Luffy shouted before adding fearfully "don't tell him I'm here, please"
"I won't, but I will be training you in something your gramps can do too"
"You mean this haki stuff? Teach me, please"
"I will, but only after you spar with me for 2 minutes"
"Ok, lets go 1000 volt raiken"
With that Luffy punched the air and a large fist made of electicity shot forward and would have hit Rayleigh had he not dodged before the attack left Luffy's fist rayleig attacked once the attack left Luffy's fist because the boy overextended himself, and tried to turn into electricity but was hit regardless
"so this is the armament haki old man gan fall talked about right ossan?"
"yes, and one of the things I will teach you in the coming year, if you can survive for 1.5 minutes longer"
"What is your name anyway, ossan?" Luffy asked as he zapped away to avoid another punch
"Rayleigh" Rayleigh answered even as he sped over to where Luffy was going to reappear
The rest of the fight went on, Luffy trying to avoid being hit while sending increasingly stronger raiken after Rayleigh whenever he got the chance; the boy was hit many times, but didn't seem to stay down
"this is gonna be my last attack" Luffy said, as he held his hands together a ball of electricity formed and started spinning, it got bigger and bigger until it was the size of Luffy's hand and Luffy shouted " 10.000 volt kaminari cannon" the ball flew towards Rayleigh, and even curved slightly, homing in on Rayleigh while he dodged, but after passing him exploded, sending lightning everywhere in a diameter of 5 meters, Rayleigh missed the explosion by just millimeters and felt his graying hair stand on end. And when he looked behind him he saw a crater in the shape of the attack's explosion
"Well, that was 5 minutes instead of 2, but I haven't had so much fun since me and shanks" "you know shanks!" "-sparred last time he visited. Yes I know shanks, he was a chore boy on the pirate ship I sailed on" Rayleigh said, "you pass by the way, and we are lucky no one noticed us, if anyone knew you had the 'invincible' goro goro no mi they would be flocking to get you to join them or kill you, and if that happens you can't become pirate king"
"No way! I promise to hide it as long as possible"
"at least hide it from your gramps or he would be forcing you to join the marines, you can only truly reveal it once you become a strong pirate" Rayleigh explained, and added "now let's go find a boat to steal, we need to go to a certain island in the calm belt, where you can practice both your haki and your powers without people watching"
Rusukaina: 5 days, a shipwreck and 3 more days later
After shipwrecking in just before the calm belt due to a storm the duo swam/floated-zipped the rest of the way there
"Welcome to your training ground and home for the next year"Rayleigh said
"Feels dangerous here, there are at least a 100 creatures I won't be able to defeat without my powers" Luffy said, using his rudimentary haki skills aided by his powers
"Try 400 you won't survive without your powers, 600 you won't defeat without your powers and only 100 you could defeat without them" Rayleigh said
"You can sense that much?! Awesome!" Luffy said and then added "let's get training"
"Alright but first a few rules to make it harder for you: rule 1, no powers without my permission, if you use them anyway, no food for you for a whole day"
"… That would mean I would miss 5 meals and 30 snacks! Every day if I use my powers without you telling me to"
'Gluttonous much?' Rayleigh though before saying "rule 2, stay with me until you can at least defeat every animal with your powers. Again, disobey this rule and no food for a day. That's it, any questions?
"Is there any place I could keep my hat to prevent damaging it?"
"Well there is one place…"
Luffy left his hat at a bulbous tree and started training (what, there is no dramatic scene for that, he just wants to protect his hat)
Rusukaina: the next year, time to go back to Skypiea
"Time to go, will you be fine going back to Shabody alone old man Rayleigh-sensei?
"Yes, I'll be fine; I'm still amazed you mastered the basics within a year, though you already had your potential unlocked and that usually takes the longest"
"Yes I know, though are you sure you'll be safe?"
"For the second time I'm fine, I told you I wasn't the first mate of the pirate king by being weak, and this island was a nice workout to get me in shape, so I think I'll be swimming the whole way, with a stop at amazon lily and rightside-up of course, I always wanted to see the famous waterrise they have there."
"Right" Luffy said, sweatdropping at the fact that he seemed to consider a swim from Rusukaina to shabody a vacation. "bye, see ya when I'm 17"
"I have no doubt we will meet again" Rayleigh said, watching Luffy transform into lighting and zip away at the speed of lightning, leaving thunder in his wake, before diving into the water of the calm belt, intent on visiting Gloriosa and the three girls he rescued, and watch the famous waterrise on rightside-up island
Flashback end, back on the cruise ship: the same time we went to the flashback
"let's take a look around" Luffy said sneaking into the ship, feeling both the people on the ship as well as the ambush the ship was sailing towards
To be continued by me and whomever wants to use this idea
please review
Now, let's explain the attacks:
Volt= the power levels of an attack lowest voltage is 100 and the highest voltage is one billion but the max is 500 million without hurting himself too. each attack has a min and a max amount of volts that can be put into one atack
Raiken= lightning fist: a ligtningbolt shaped like a fist, self-explanatory. voltage levels: min 100, max 10.000
Kaminari cannon= lightning cannon: a round orb is created and shot at an opponent it has limited homing capabilities and explodes once it hits something or misses the target, everything within the blast radius is shocked and with higher voltages, vaporized (measured from an average marine soldier), very destructive to terrain the diameter of the explosion is min 5 and max 50 depending on voltage, be careful of friendly fire with this one. Voltage levels: min 10.000, max 1.000.000
Non cannon locations:
rightside-up island: an island that is the cornerstone of the Florian triangle. On one side is the Florian triangle and close to the other side are the protective currents of the government only basin current 4 of the 7 logs converge here to point to Fishman Island with the others going through the florian triangle, having already locked onto fishman island from the 2 other islands one of which being water 7 the other being the nearby island of pucci (it exists in canon, its connected by sea train to water 7)
rightside-up is famous for being the only new world esque island in paradise it is for that reason also known as hell in paradise by new world veterans. It is also famous for having its gravity inversed, meaning the island floats in the air and people live on the bottom of the island, the only way to reach the island is by navigating up a rock formation called inverse channel that goes up and then inverts to grant access to the bottom of the island, entering to the island is harder than leaving it thanks to its main tourist attraction the waterrise: water falling up from the sea onto the bottom of the island and then flows to inverse channel and back into the sea
there exists a (true) rumor of a hidden channel that leads to the top of the island and a current that leads into the sky this is the only constant access point to the white sea from paradise it does however have a 90% mortality rate (and the only known navigators capable of reliabliy navigating to the white sea would be post timesip Nami, and 'nutty' Bill who lived on the island, but the guy passed away a year after the pirate king was executed, the guy got very rich guiding people up the current, knowing it is a one-way street and using dials to go back down on his own, he is responsible for bringing the non-native den den mushi to the white sea and the white white sea)
Misc. non-canon stuff
Queen den den mushi: these rare den den mushi variants are the hubs of the den den mushi network, capable of relaying signals across the world, provided you use the right prefix to a number (in the sky island one the number is 0485-normal number) it can also communicate with baby den den mushi acros the same range a normal den den mush could without relaying, or communicating, with the queen
it is also a black and normal den den mushi in one, depending on its settings. dialing a number allows you either to call them or when in spy mode, listen in on all the chatter going to and leaving that den den mushi, it also records any number dialed while spying and puts it in its memory it also has a screen functionality allowing features such as seeing the phone numbers called while spying on a specific number and seeing all the numbers dialed in the past to and from the den den mushi while in call, modus. It does however only have enough memory for 600 numbers: 500 for spying on other den den mushi's, divided among the den den mushi's spied on and 100 for in the 'callers' memory
You still have to scramble the signal using a white den den mushi while calling to prevent black ones from intercepting. It also helps the queen to stay hidden while in listening mode the queens can't listen and call at the same time however
There are only 10 known queens in the world, 6 are in the hands of the world government with one confimed to be on mariejoa, and another confirmed to be on marineford the othr four are confirmed to be somewhere in the four blues; every blue has one hidden on one of the many islands, its location only known to the five elder stars, the commander in chief, the fleet admiral and the highest commanding officer on the island where she is with only fleet admiral and above knowing the locations of all five queens on the seas, and only the five elder stars knowing the location of the one on mariejoa
The final four are in possession of the yonkou, only the yonkou and its highest officers know of its location though it is confirmed whitebeard has it hidden on one of his 5 main ships and shanks is known to visit a certain island in the calm belt very often, however no one has found any evidence of the queen being on that island
The final queen is unknown to all except Luffy and former god Gan fall, its location is in gods temple above Skypiea
Well I will be honest, try as I might I cannot devise a way to continue my time travel story so I will put it up for adoption, while also trying to find inspiration, maybe even from this story I will post this chapter I'm both my one-shot story collection and as a standalone story, let's hope this one goes better
