Corazon Week 2017

Title: Past/Future
Rating: T
Fandom: One Piece
Summary: After Corazon dies, he is given the opportunity to change the past, but the future will be changed. What will his choice be?
Warnings: Possible OOCness (But let's be honest, I don't write that many stories that are in character)


He was floating in a white void, his feet not touching any solid ground. He was just hovering in the emptiness. "So…I guess this is death, huh?" He was alone. "Of course I won't get an answer," He made a swimming motion and moved forward. His surroundings never changed, it was still a white void.

"Would you change the past, if given the chance?"

"Who's there?" Corazon turned around but still, it was all blank.

"If I gave you the chance to change the past, would you?"

"Change…the past?" Corazon parroted.

"Yes, but the changes would affect the future,"

That caused Corazon to not immediately answer. He lit a cigarette, setting his shoulder on fire, as he thought about his answer. His past was what made him who he was.

If his family never left Mariejois, they would have never went through all that pain. Doflamingo would be looking down upon everyone who wasn't a Celestial Dragon, not having met his crew. His mother wouldn't have gotten sick and died. Doflamingo wouldn't have shot their father. They would still be together, a complete family.

But changing the past would affect his future too.

He would have never met Sengoku. He would have never met all his friends and comrades in the Navy. He would have never seen the world from the commoners' eyes. He would not have saved many of them during his missions.

He would have never met Law. Law would have died because the Donquixote Pirates were never created, and Rocinante never became the second Corazon. He never kidnapped Law and gave him the Op-Op Fruit.

It was a tough decision, but he knew his parents would want him to be a person who would save others.

"What is your answer?"


HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORA-SAN!
