A/N: Why man. Why do you have to do this? I was just bored and wanted to write something, planned to make this a one-shot, but I wasn't expecting this much support for this story. Why do you even bother with 200 words stories anyway? Nevermind. Thanks for looking at this thing guys and gals! But I'm still amazed by the fact this story got more than 10 favs and follows, which is more than a ton of stories in this site. Are my stories really that good? Idk and I don't wanna brag. Bragging is bad. Anyway, I hope I can satisfy your expectations, but don't expect a chapter as good as the last one, which will probably be the best I could pull off in this story unless I don't get better. Anyway, time for the reviews and then to the story! And this story is a Time Travel fic if you didn't already guessed based on the fact that I killed off the protagonist at the first chapter.


heisy454: Okay, I don't know what exactly you said but I can guess. (*furiously typing in Google Translate*) Yeah, I think I know what you mean. Thank you for your support but what exactly is a Mai? And don't worry, I (hopefully) will continue this, unlike others. I'm still learning, okay?

KanaeAnne: Yeah, no way I could pass that smile up. Anyone who would pass it up can't call themselves a One Piece fan imo. Btw, I have no idea where this thing is going too.

moon: Really? Thank you bro/sis! I'm looking forward to what this thing can do too!


I felt a light breeze. It was quite comforting. I could lie down like this for all-

"WAKE UP YOU MORON!" All nice things have an end, I guess. With that abrupt wake up call, there was no way for me to stay asleep.

Just when I turned my head to shout the ears off of the person who dared to wake me up, I froze up and turned pale like I just saw a ghost. Which was the case.

"C'mon Luffy!" Ace said - perfectly healthy. Which was concerning in way too many ways. Then I realized I wasn't at Thousand Sunny and my nakama wasn't here. When I remembered what happened, it all made perfect sense.

"ACE!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, and with a jump clinged to him "I missed you!"

"Woah woah, what's wrong Luffy?" Ace asked. There was an afterlife after all! "What do you mean you missed m- why the hell are you crying?!"

"A-Ace... I missed you- I missed you so much!"

"Why the hell would you miss me?! We were together for the last seven years. You can miss me all you want when I leave a few hours later."

I had no words for this. Wasn't I in the afterlife? "Wait, aren't we dead? Isn't this afterlife?"

Ace looked at me with a deadpan look, "What the hell are you talking about Luffy."

"Well, you died at Marineford, I died to Blackbeard, and we are seeing each other. This means we are in the afterlife!"

Ace had a weird face. "I repeat, what are you talking about tell me now." Oh boy, he is angry. But why?

"I mean, we are both dead, right?"

"No, we aren't."

"We aren't?"

"We aren't" What? Then what is happening?

"I saw you die. I felt myself die. If we are both dead then why are we not dead?"

Ace now had a face I never saw on him only once, when Sabo died. He was worried.

"You never lie Luffy, you can't lie. Tell me what the hell is going on right now."

I started sweating. What was going on anyway? Are we really alive? It was then that I realized I didn't felt the constant stomachache that I felt for two years. When I looked at my chest, my scar was gone. Which shouldn't be possible, even by me! But it was? I never was the sharpest tool in the box, but Rayleigh forced my brain to work (it was painful) so maybe I can figure it out. Ace is getting angry be-fast-be-fast. Ace is alive, I'm alive, I don't have the scar, Ace don't have the tattoo on his back (wait, what?) and I felt weaker. My nakama wasn't here. Thousand Sunny wasn't here. I was in a wooden house. And Ace said he was setting sail today-wait! I get it now!

"I think I got swallowed by a Sea King which flew to a Sky Island and massaged the sun's back."

"The hell you talking about!" Why is he even angrier?! I came to the most logical conclusion (yes, I can say that word). Oh wait, I think a wire or two popped at my head.

"I mean, I think I time traveled," Yeah, that was my conclusion.

"That makes sense... Wait what?!"

-After a long, long talk to convince a moron about time travel-

"That makes sense. But now I need to go, and I will lookout for Blackbeard. You don't have to worry about that. This time, I will beat him!"

There was no way to make him stop going after Blackbeard. So, at least now he knows how dangerous he is.

Well then, I guess I don't have anything to do right now. I don't know where most of my crew is, and the ones I know is too far or too late to save (I do keep track of their past). Which leaves... Training! I'm pretty weak right now, but now that I know haki, I can become strong again! Maybe even stronger than I was before!

Last time I didn't have enough time.

Last time I wasn't strong enough.

Last time I couldn't protect the ones I loves.

Last time I wasn't ready!

This time I WILL be ready!
