Eternal Luffy

What if Luffy was cursed with eternal Life? What if he had to watch all his friends and family die? What if he had to watch the world burn over and over again? How would this effect a man such as Luffy? How would his immortality effect the rest of the world?

Luffy was always deemed a nice person by everyone he had ever met. He prided himself on this he really did that is why when he was thrown in prison he succeeded it's why no matter how much they wanted the public to hate him they could not. It's why in a final act of cruelty the government decided they would simply have him live forever cursed to live and never age but to watch everyone around you die everyone you ever care for.

After cursing Luffy they set him free knowing he could never achieve his goals now. It's this life that Luffy is forced to live. Live it he tries but eventually he realizes the inevitable he can not topple this government. It's after he realizes this he goes and finds an island he can have to himself and live in peace alone forever.

He see's the world government fall and the red line toppled and he believes he can reenter the world only to eventually find out it doesn't matter who the government is he will always be hated.

He see's the island become land masses and a new people rise. He watches these people and finds them to be no different. He finds these people have 2 brother gods one light and one darkness. He watches them. After a time he meets these gods hoping they can help kill him they can not. He watches the people rebel against these gods and watches them destroy the world and break the moon. He still lives unchanged.

He watches the world begin anew. See's the rise of the Faunus and the rise of the Grimm. He talks to the "Immortal" Salem and the "immortal" Ozma and strikes a deal with them. Neither will try and unbalance the board by taking the others magic and Luffy will not intervene in the world.

This deal works for thousands of years. Luffy is allowed to live in peace and the humans are allowed to be humans. Neither side trying to destroy the other. But over time both Salem and Ozma forget the deal they struck. Luffy never forgets yet another thing he has been cursed with. He is the last of the Haki users the last of the devil fruits and even the sea won't take him anymore.

Some time in the future.

Emerald stands only a few feet away from the oblivious heroine, scrunching her face up in determination and readying to attack by grabbing her weapons and sliding a foot back. The kicked-up dust manages to be seen behind the girl even when the one who kicked it doesn't, and the woman gasps as the image of the child happily reaching for the apple suddenly disappears.

Dropping the fruit and leaping back quickly as the horse turns to run away, Amber ditches the cloak and pulls out her weapon, expanding the double crystal-headed staff to full length. She sees Emerald running towards her, guns blazing green shots, each of which are deflected against the Maiden's hand. Amber twirls the spear around her body, kicking up the winds and blasting it towards her opponent, forcing Emerald to slide back.

Just as she does this, Mercury comes up from the side and jumps over the fence, landing on her staff as she forces him and a returning Emerald back with another gale. Mercury simply leaps on a post and launches himself at her, forcing Amber to unleash a stream of fire from the red crystal on him, but her attacker merely curls up and lets his legs take the brunt of the damage, flames burning away the orange pants as the complex machinery and lit-up metal making up the robotic prosthetics underneath is revealed.

With his artificial limbs, he continues to come forward through the fire and kick Amber on her back, only for Emerald to land on her from above, cracking the very ground underneath. She and Mercury jump back and get ready to fight again when Amber gets up, head bowed until she looks up with orange energy pouring from her eyes. The winds erupt from the Maiden, swirling around and making her enemies cover their faces from the force, when she lifts off the ground and spreads her arms to the sky, lightning now rumbling in the clouds for her to aim at the two, who barely get out of the way in time.

Calling upon more of the storm, Mercury and Emerald continue to dodge each bolt as Cinder steps into view a ways back from the fight. The two ambushers fire on Amber, but the invisible shield now covers her whole body, taking each shot as she reaches to her side and clenches a fist, making the leaves rise into the air and come to her. With a raised arm, the leaves turn from green to frozen ice, and she rains the newly-sharpened projectiles down on her foes, who are unable to avoid the attack.

Amber continues this assault until she senses Cinder running towards her from behind, face set in determination, and summons a fireball to launch at her third adversary, who manages to leap over the attack. Cinder slides across the ground, kicking up dirt. Cinder faces her palm to the dirt, the yellow fabric on her sleeve glowing, and coalesces the dirt into several glass shards, which she aims at the floating Maiden. Amber is knocked back from the damage, face down in the dirt, until she looks up with normal eyes just when the sharp sound is heard again. She first sees the area empty, but Emerald flickers into view for a moment, and Amber slowly realizes what's happening as Mercury also shifts into her frame of vision, with Cinder coming forward in spurts, swords raised.

She attempts to slice Amber with the two blades, only for the Maiden to deflect each hit and kick the assailant away just as Mercury and Emerald come forward in her stead. The two miss their initial attacks and get kicked for their efforts, but Mercury lands a blow on her only for Amber to rush at him, not noticing Cinder connect her swords together into their bow shape and notching three arrows. Amber manages to punch Emerald and kick Mercury away right before turning around and seeing Cinder launch the arrows at the ground around her, which erupt in a high whistling noise and a burning explosion from each projectile. She feels the full force of it all, her Aura disappearing entirely from the damage.

Cinder appears with her partners behind her, slowly approaching their target as she gets up from her hands and knees. She swipes at the three with a gust of wind that blows them all away, but Mercury races back towards her until he's blasted back by a bolt of lightning from the now burning-eyed Maiden. She suddenly turns back and sends a fireball at Emerald, only for it to disappear and the real thief to be revealed on the other side, also getting a blast of flame.

With all three of her opponents down, Amber grabs her staff from the ground and uses it as support to walk over to Emerald, wincing and clutching her side all the while. Emerald only has time to look up in fear before Amber glowers and raises her weapon to finish the fight... just when a quick whooshing noise ends with a sudden thump right as she gasps in pain.

Eyes wide, Amber collapses forward, an arrow sticking out from her back while Cinder lowers the bow and smiles once more. She drops her weapon and calmly comes forward, taking out a white glove as Mercury and Emerald force their defeated foe to her knees. Amber and Cinder meet eye-to-eye before the villainess lifts up her now gloved hand, the back of it marked with the red symbol of an open eye in a compass shape, broken on one side by five diamond shapes. Cinder reaches down, palm towards Amber when the white suddenly opens a small red portal, out from which a Grimm bug comes out.

Amber: (pupils contracted, begging in a whisper) Please don't...

The creature spits out a web of black, attaching to Amber's face in a familiar pattern. When she looks up, screaming, her one free eye is blazing, a final blast of wind erupting from her as the glow fades into the inky strands, up through the glove, and into Cinder's body. Her own victorious eyes light up with power, a shower of sparks surrounding her and black-and-red circle appearing under their feet. Amber closes her eye...

Then without warning, footsteps are seen racing towards the ritual, and Cinder only has a moment to look up and see Qrow Branwen swinging Harbinger down on them, severing the web and making the three leap back. The Huntsman grabs the unconscious Maiden before she hits the ground, and Cinder watches to her hand as the glove burns away into nothingness, leaving only a tattoo of high heels between her exposed shoulder blades.

Cinder looks up with a grin, right eye now brimming with golden energy, as she gets up from her position and raises her arms, embers circling around her. Qrow can only see her shimmering face for a second before the ground under him starts to glow, and he gets himself and Amber out of the way just as it explodes. He looks back and finds that the three are gone, then turns his worried gaze to the marked and comatose face of Amber.

When Luffy's haki showed him this vision he knew that Salem had now abandoned their deal. With that he decides he needs to go see Salem and confront her over this breach in their deal. So he sets off towards the dark lands. This journey would take a normal person several weeks, he makes it in 2 days. When he arrives he walks right through the front gate and there are those who would stand in his way he merely brushes them aside as though they where gnats. He walks straight into the throne room and confronts Salem.

Luffy "have you forgotten our deal Salem?"

Salem "I have no idea who you are or what deal you are referring to"

Luffy "The deal we made thousands of years ago. The one where I would stay out of you and Ozma's business so long as neither stole the others powers and tipped the board."

Salem "I have no idea what you are talking about. I never made such a deal and even if I did you would be long dead after these years."

Luffy laughs "as the only true immortal i suppose I should have expected as much from a pretender. Kill Cinder and release the Maidens power and I won't get involved. You have 24 hours or I become a very angry immortal."

Salem smiles mirthfully "I didn't recognize you without your hat. If I remember correctly the God's gave me this life and even they can not take it away so go ahead and try and be my enemy I will continue to last and eventually I will have all of Ozma's powers and the relics."

Luffy " I have not worn that hat for millenia yet you remember it. Those gods you mentioned even they could not kill me nor any gods before them or any that will come after you and Ozma are but distant memories. If you insist on this path I will have to kill you and then I will have to kill Ozma and that is more work than I planned on doing this milenia so I will ask again kill Cinder release the Maidens powers and we can go on as though this never happened and I can return to exile."

Salem "I already told you no so go back to exile and leave the world alone it's what you are best at."

Luffy turns and walks away "Remember Salem you brought this down on yourself" He leaves the dark lands and returns to his home. If he is to go to war he will need an old friend.
