Prologue

It was predicted, but no one could prevent it. It was insanity. The world was crashing down around him; him, the ever living immortal – Imu. The castles and foundations of the world, Mary Geoise, cracked into rubble, crunching downwards into the waters below.

All that was left as a symbol of power and order was consumed by the most ambitious and the most voracious of pirates – Straw Hat Luffy.

For those who know, the Straw Hat pirates plans always end up chaotic – they just end up never being able to stick to them because of their captain. So, in the end, the chaos and insanity that ensues are just a byproduct of them trying to improvise their survival and goals.

And it was through their efforts and unintended results that the four blues have connected into one – the All Blue.

For 800 years, the throne of the Heavenly Dragons had ruled, and within a single moment, it was destroyed and ended. The ruling of humankind over those other and different to them is over; the blue planet is now free for the oppressed to take back their place. The ocean now belongs to all, and the forces behind the previous status quo of the world is now broken. This event would change the world forever, and in the future, it would be named – The Dawn of the New Era.

Imu was helpless. Just falling down with the remains of the former capital of the world, they turn their head towards the sun, catching its glint in their eyes. The rays were soft and blinding, reminding them of a memory long past.

"You know, you're as free as the oceans here. You can go anywhere you'd like. Plus, you even smell like the ocean, too."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No, I think it's great! But I can't keep calling you nameless forever, now, can I?"

"Isn't it okay to keep calling me nameless?"

"No way! Nameless is so boring and it doesn't describe you at all. And, once I give you a name, it'll be yours to keep! That's why, I, will give you a great name!"

"What are you going to name me then?"

"Hmm, oh! I'll call you Umi! Do you like how it sounds?"

"Umi? I guess it's okay. What does it mean, though?"

"In my language, it stands for the sea. So, like it?"

"Isn't that kind of uninspired?"

"What? How dare you say that, after all the hard work I spent trying to think of it."

"I don't believe you, you just spent one second thinking about it."

"No, I didn't. It took me ages!"

"Now you're just exaggerating."

"Fine, whatever, I'm still going to call you Umi from now on since I like it."

And like that, his first memory of his name fell into the ocean's embrace. Where they would forever rest.


Note:

Lol, so as I was trying to figure out what to write, I had to take these antibiotics called cipro and it wrecked my body. I recommend you research it; it can be a fairly dangerous drug depending on your career and lifestyle. My joints, muscles, and tendons became frail; I got suicidal out of nowhere; and my memory was affected for the worse – I'm still recovering from it, even though it's been a few weeks since then. My hand feels stiff now even though previously I couldn't type much because it felt like I had arthritis. So, I guess I'm trying to recover as well as I can.

Well, while I was going through that, I figured I should make this fic part character study and part plot. It's still going to be a time travelling fic.

Extra:

When I first thought of this concept, I was going to make Black Beard and Luffy & Co go back in time at the same time and compete to be the pirate king while getting the one piece. I had a plan for it in high school, but I lost it – so I made a new concept.

Nami and Co time travel back with the help of Vega Punk and Blackbeard. So, she has this highly advanced wristband that would help her connect with other time travelers and do time travel shenanigans.

Black Beard is actually wanting to keep the world from the rule of Imu; so he purposely got two devil fruits with anti-matter and gravity properties to create a time worm back into the days before Luffy sets out on his journey.

But, I'm not going to go with either of those concepts this time lol

Special Thank You to Yuzuki476 for commenting on the fic – because I totally forgot about this fic lmao. Your random comments inspired me to keep writing.

Also, Profoessor Frogenshtein; same, I feel. Well, I know the struggles of following a dead fic; so this time I'll finish the story for once lol (Even if it takes forever)
