One Piece- What If…? – What if Luffy was somehow able to travel back in time and he met Gol D. Roger? Would Roger have any words of wisdom for Luffy? …or some meat?

Thanks to those of you who read/reviewed/favorited/followed this fanfic! And thanks to Jackidere for giving me some suggestions. Don't count on this being very long, since these one-shots are MY take on said suggestions and I don't currently know how much I'll write for each one. But still…thanks a bunch for the suggestions! :D

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN One Piece.


Finally…FINALLY after all this time, Luffy had accomplished his dream. He had his nakama at his side…he had delicious meat in his belly (Thanks Sanji!)…he had reached the final island of the Grand Line- Raftel! The last island the first Pirate King was at…and where Luffy had managed to find the great treasure- One Piece!

Though it wouldn't be too long before news of him becoming the second Pirate King would spread worldwide, for now, it was just him and his crew that knew it. And he was perfectly fine with that- shihihihi!


After letting the anchor down into the ocean and pulling up along a stretch of beach in the Mini-Merry, the Straw Hats searched for One Piece. It didn't take long.

Zoro helped prepare for the celebratory feast by lugging all the jars of sake, beer, wine, and cola they had from the Thousand Sunny onto the beach. And although he'd rather not use his swords in this way, he also helped get firewood- it is a special occasion, after all.

Nami asked Robin to come along with her and requested*coughcoughdemandedcoughcough* Usopp to join them as well. She was going to make sure to make a map of this island and make a few copies of that later- after all, she wanted to make sure everyone on her crew remembered that they had accomplished their dreams, with Luffy's being the last.

Before he had been dragged off by Nami, Usopp tried to see past the foliage of the island to see if there were any mountains or if there was a peak height to this island. Wherever it was, he'd be extra sure to tie up an extra flag with Luffy's Jolly Roger on it (and maybe his own…heheh or not- Luffy is the captain).

Sanji prepared the biggest feast yet to be had by the crew, adding in a little something extra to Luffy's portion. He needed to make sure that this feast topped all the others they've had over the years- or else my crappy captain will throw a fit.

Chopper made sure to bring along some stomach medicine with him- and cotton candy! It wouldn't do if any of them got a stomachache from overeating.

Robin didn't mind helping Nami out with observing the island from all possible angles she could see. She had thought ahead and had made sure that a certain helpful love-cook brought with him some of her books to the island- unfortunately, Luffy won't be able to sit around and listen to me read, seeing as he'll be bouncing all over the place in order to explore the island some more.

Franky was suuuuuuuuper ready to get the celebratory feast started, ow! He had even managed to make a little something that he's sure Luffy-bro would be amazed at!

Brook had made sure that he had as many instruments as he could carry with him when they landed on the island. After all, he didn't plan to spend the night any other way than constantly playing music, bringing joy to his crewmates that had healed and warmed his lonely heart after so many years in darkness and solitude…not that I have a heart! Yohohohoho~ skull joke!

And Luffy? Well, the only reason he hadn't gone running off into the island by himself was because of two reasons! The first and foremost one being MEAT! The second and just as, if not more so, important one was that he wanted to share the accomplishment of his dream with his nakama! They had let him share in theirs- it was only fair that the crew share in this momentous occasion with their captain that had shared in their accomplishments.


Night had fallen, the party had started a while ago and, before anyone really noticed it, it was well past midnight and the party had come to an end…though it would most likely continue on the next day.

Luffy had decided to drink some sake- in remembrance of his brother who had been dead for years now, in acknowledgement that this is where Ace's dad had hid the treasure One Piece, in celebration that he had done it!

…of course, he ended up being the first to conk out like a light. Sake doesn't really sit well with him…that and he doesn't like the taste! Bleh!

Though when he was sleeping, he couldn't help but shiver slightly in his slumber…something just felt off.

A few minutes later and the reason why Luffy felt off became apparent. If his crew had been awake, they would have seen Luffy's body shimmer out of existence, like a mirage shimmering out of one's sight in the great desert of Alabasta, before a flash of white shined quickly before leaving with Luffy from the beach of Raftel.


"What a great guy…that Whitebeard," Gol D. Roger thought to himself as he continued drinking some high quality sake.

He had talked to the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates only but a few days ago. Surprisingly, he still had sake left over! He was enjoying it by himself as he had sought out a quiet spot on the island of Raftel in order to have some time to think away from his nakama…his crew….his family. Rayleigh had made sure he had brought some food along with him, and he was enjoying a rather small portion of it right now.

Sunset was only about a half-hour prior, and the fire he had made to keep himself warm was glowing nice and brightly. …it seemed his little fire was glowing a little too brightly!

"Hm? What's that?"

The light that was now shining off of the little campfire kept getting brighter and brighter and brighter- until suddenly, everything turned white for a split second before clearing up, allowing Roger to blink his eyes in order to readjust them back to the familiar glow of his fire. Now that he could see clearly again, he was surprised to see a body of all things just laying a mere three feet away from the fire.

Hearing a little noise that sounded like something brushing up against the sand of the beach, Roger looked to where the noise came from and was a little confused to see the straw hat he had given to one of his swabbies. Ever since he had given it to Shanks, the kid hadn't let it out of his sight.

Seeing a stranger here and the straw hat as well set Roger a bit on edge- did this man take it from Shanks? …nah, couldn't be...I would have heard something from the kid if he had lost this. So, who is the mystery person here?

As Roger was thinking this, the man began to stir.

"Eh? Hah? Sanji, meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- wait, where am I?!"

Turning around, Roger saw that this man had a scar with two stitch marks under his left eye, had a large 'X' scar on his upper chest area, raven black messy hair, and wide open honest eyes. Roger could instantly tell that this man was good the minute their eyes met- after all, is it not said that eyes are the windows to one's soul?

"Hmm? Ossan, who are you? Where am I? Do you have any meat? Can you poop?" the young man shot off questions towards the still somewhat dumbfounded Roger.

…but after that last question?

"GYAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Of course I can; yes, I do; you're on Raftel, the last island of the Grand Line; and I am Gol D. Roger, Pirate King!" Roger grinned at the young man, waiting and seeing as comprehension dawned upon him.

"Oh, really? Yay! I'm still hungry shihihi! Ah, okay…so long as I can make it back to Sunny for another party…Pirate King, huh? Wait a minute…I'M PIRATE KING, NOT YOU!"

"Ohoh, what makes you say that, boy?" Roger couldn't help the little smirk from appearing on his face.

"Oi, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, not boy! And I'm the Pirate King now! My nakama and I just landed here yesterday afternoon and-," Luffy cut off shortly as the mans' name finally sank into his brain.

The reaction was hilarious.

"G-G-G-G-GOL D. R-R-R-RO-ROG-ROGER?! EHHHHHH?! But I thought you were dead already, ossan!" Luffy blurted out as Roger started laughing…and he continued to laugh until he started coughing.

"HACK! *cough cough* Ugh…next time I'll make sure that no more food is in my mouth before I laugh. And Monkey? Would you, by any chance, happen to be related to Garp, the Marine Hero?" Roger asked.

"Huh? Jii-chan? Of course- he's my jii-chan," Luffy had no issue with letting people know who his family members were.

"HAH?!" Now it was Roger's turn to be surprised…again.

~o~ a few explanations later ~o~

"So you also come from East Blue, Luffy? Ahh, that brings back memories…" Roger sighed thoughtfully.

"Mm. Hehe, I can't believe I'm actually meeting the first Pirate King! Can't wait to tell everyone~," Luffy said in a sing-song voice.

"Gyahaha! Kinda weird to be talking to the future Pirate King…but not bad…not bad at all, Luffy!"

At Roger's words, Luffy looked back at the man that he had admired through stories.

"You say something, Roger?" Luffy tilted his head in confusion.

"Nah, just thinking aloud. Luffy…I'd like to thank you."

"For what?"

"For following the Will of D…for making it here in your own time with your nakama…for not letting the Will of D die off."

"Why're you thanking me? I just did what I wanted to, Roger-ossan!" Luffy exclaimed with a smile on his face.

Roger blinked twice before letting out a loud bark of laughter. And that's exactly what I want to thank you for, Luffy.

The two Pirate Kings continued talking and sharing stories all throughout the remainder of the night, not noticing the sunrise creeping on them ever so slowly. Finally, Luffy's body began to shimmer once more, shocking the both of them for a minute.

"Hmm, this kinda feels like before I came here…" Luffy mumbled.

Nonetheless, Roger heard him loud and clear.

"Is it time for you to go back, Luffy?"

"Back where? I'm still on Raftel…"

"Gyahahaha! I mean back to your nakama…back to your time?" Roger chuckled.

"OH! I get it!" Luffy thumped his right fist into his left palm.

"Safe travels, Luffy. Keep taking good care of that hat, alright?"

"You don't need to tell me that, Roger-ossan! Shihihihi! As if I wouldn't take care of it! Besides all of my nakama, it's my treasure ya know?" Luffy grinned.

"Gyahaha! Of course…say hello to your nakama for me, will you? I wish I could have met them," Roger said.

Luffy just grinned his D grin, before waving goodbye and flashing out of existence once more while holding onto his treasured strawhat.

A few hours later, when the sun was high in the sky, Roger's own nakama made their way over to their own captain, friend, family member- nakama.

Roger never actually did tell anybody about meeting the strange boy Luffy…after all, why should he spoil the fun when they'll meet him in a few years? Gyahahaha!


Luffy was back in the same spot as he was before he left…and he was sleeping again!

One by one the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates woke up, and one by one they each became confused by what could be heard from their captain's muttering…

"…er-ossan…nice t' meetcha'…*snooooooooooooooooore*"

…but they just laughed anyways. After all, that's their captain, friend, family member- nakama.


Surprise surprise! :D This one-shot chapter is longer than the first one! :p Meh, I make no promises as to chapter/one-shot lengths for future chapters. I honestly didn't think it would carry on so long…but it did, and it worked out. PLEASE REVIEW and leave some suggestions for me! :D Btw, Jackidere, I do plan on writing a chapter/one-shot for each of your suggestions, but it will most likely take a while. Please be patient with me. m(_ _)m (^_^)

Till next time! :D
