Before all of the Strawhats could sit down Zoom came and said:
"Ok every one, I have a little surprise for you all; a few more guests" and with a wave of his hands he vanished in a puff of smoke. In his place were people that the Strawhats all thought were dead or had been left back on there home island.
"Ace you are a live!" Luffy cried as he ran to hug him with tears coming down his face. "It is good to see you too Luffy." Ace said with a smile. "Nojiko!" Nami cried, as the two sisters hugged they herd a voice say "What no hug for me?" The two sisters then saw their mother Bellamere. They instantly added her to the hug. "Luffy where are w- holy shit a ghost!" The Strawhats all turned to see Luffy's grandfather Garp. Ace just stared at the man, before he broke the hug with Luffy and kicked the marine hero in the balls and yelled out, "How could you choose work over family you bastard!" Garp just grabbed his nuts and said "Ok not a ghost." After a few more minutes they all settled down to watch the show, after all how bad could it be.
impel down
And there goes my previous statement.
A prison were the worst of worst criminals were sent. A place were horror's beyond your wildest nightmares. A place that any sane person would wish to avoid. and it was in the horrible place filled with the screams of anguish from the prisoners, was a young man. his name : monkey d luffy
Ace shivered as he remembered his time in that hell on earth. The Strawhats and Nojiko were just shocked at just how broken the captain on the tv looked. The two marines already knew where this story was headed.
it had been four years since he was sent here. four years of being chained to a wall, covered in dry blood. four years … since he lost everything.
"AH! NO!" Luffy screamed out all of the sudden. Chopper went over in his human form as fast as he could to hold him down and said "Zoro , Ace , Sanji! help me hold him!" As they did so Ace called out, "What the hell is wrong with my little brother!" Unknowingly summing up all their thoughts. After Chopper managed to calm Luffy down who had just started trembling ,as well as, mumbling gibberish. Ace then went to hug Luffy as Chooper said "It must be p.t.s.d." Seeing the confused looks on the crews faces, he sighed and said "post traumatic stress disorder." Ussop who had been freaking out over the sudden scream asked "Will Luffy be ok?"
"I have been working on a pill which can be used to suppress the memories but it is not finished yet."
They all noded at this and continued to watch the show.
Luffy was a fearless pirate captain. his crew the straw hat pirates, were know world wide. they were feared by the marines and to those who read what ever propaganda the marines had the news paper posted. each and every one it's crew members were strong I there own way. each one ready to fight along side each other to see there dreams come true. each one was-
"Dead" mumbled luffy. his face once a cheery, smiling face full of hope and want for advenchers , was now one of emptiness and sorrow. he had failed them all he had worked so hard to become stronger, so that he could protect them...but it was all in vain. he and his crew were one island away from raftel, the last island in he grand line, and the roumerd resting place of the one piece, gold.d roger's greatest treasure. they were ready to go, but the marines had sent every thing they had at theme. After the fight the marines were left with only about 3% of what they had sent. And the straw hats ... were all dead before luffy's eyes. h just stood there, life less and covered in blood as the reminder of the marines shackled him in seastone and dragged him away.
And now here he was. Left to live out his days in this horrible prison. He sighed and closed his eyes, feeling tired and mumbling before falling into slumber. "Everyone forgive me."
Every one shivered at the straw hat wearing captain's broken voice as Ace just held Luffy closer.
"wake up"
luffy's eyes slowly opened. H was expecting to see a prison guard through the iron bars, telling him it was meal time. He was not expecting to see the sight before him at all. He was in a small room, lying on a bed. he looked around, generally confused as to why he was in this strange place and not in his jail sell. He sat up still in his prisoner out fit ,and seastone shackles. "Were am I?"
"Bought time you woke up."
Luffy spun around to see what looked to be a very aged man walk into the room. He was slightly taller than Luffy with gray hair and wrinkles. he wore a brown, button up shirt ,tan slacks and white shoes. He looked at luffy, smiling as he came closer "Glad to see yo are awake." he said in a raspy voice.
"who are you old man?" luffy asked as the man stood 3 feet away from him. He watched as the man raised his hands in a fist. He stared , wondering what he old man would do.
"open!" said the man as he opened his hands. Luffy suddenly herd a 'click' as his shekels fell off him. Luffy looked at his free arms and legs rubbing them as he felt his strength returning.
"whoa! How'd ya do that old man? do you have powers too?"
"the open - open fruit." The man said with a nod. " I am a man that opens things. Like that." he said as he pointed behind Luffy. Luffy saw what looked like a hole in the wall. But his eyes widened at the sight in the hole, it was his prison cell. He kept staring even as the man walked towards the hole putt his hands around it, and pushing the edges together until it closed. the old man looked at luffy, who looked at the old man.
"That sounds stupid." Zoro said as Sanji agreed with him for once.
Their host just had a sly grin on his face knowing just how powerful that ability is.
"So you opened up a hole into my cell and pulled me out of there?" he asked "thanks old ma-" was all he said before he collapsed.
"Are you ok?"
"Hungry."
Every one laughed at this and thought 'some things just will not change.' as Luffy and Bellamere just looked confused as to why they were all laughing.
moments later luffy was eating a mountain of food as the old man stared in awe.
"They said you had a big appetite, but this is unreal." the old man mumbled as Luffy wolfed down the food before him. After what felt like an eternity Luffy laid back the chair and patted his swollen belly.
"Ah, that was good food, beats the slop in impel down." He said before looking at the man. "thanks again."
"no problem Luffy."
Luffy just smiled before he realized something " Hey , how did you know my name was Luffy?"
"I know who you are Monkey. D. Luffy , or better known in the world as strawhat Luffy , captain of the strawhat pirate's"
Luffy's eye's widened in horror as the mentioning of his crew flooded his mind with painful memores he had locked away. He remembered each of there faces as they laid before him broken and lifeless as he clenched his eyes shut before grabbing his head with both hands and slamming it into the floor. "NO NO NO! STOP IT!" he screamed as tears began to stream down his eyes before he turned to the old man. "why did you remind me."
the old man looked at the boy , suddenly realizing he had opend up old wounds that were beast left closed , before giving the boy a sad look. " I am sorry."
"You had better be" Ace growled along with the other Strawhats.
"THE STRAW HAT PIRATES ARE DEAD!" Luffy screamed out before lunging at the old man, pining him to the wall. the old man just looked at him with a blank expression of his face as Luffy looked ready to lose his mind. "WHY WOULD YOU O THIS ANY WAY! YOU BROKE ME OUT OF PRISON ,JUST TO TORMENT ME OR SOMTHING !? WHY DID YOU DO IT ANY WAY?!" Luffy screamed before panting ,looking ready to snap if he did not like his awnser. the old man just stared at him before he closed his and with a sigh started smiling
"what if I told you you can try agien?"
"What?"
Luffy looked baffled at the question "what?"
"take a look at that paper over there." he said as he pointed at a news paper over on the table. Luffy looked at him for a moment before walking over and opening it and seeing a picture of another old man in a marine uniform before reading the head line.
marine admiral Coby retires.
"I knew you could do that Coby!" Garp yelled with Luffy, as Ace glared at his so called gram pa, making him shiver. Luffy felt happy that at least one of his friends had their dream come true.
Luffy blinked for a moment, confused at the words. "Marine admiral ... Coby, were?"
"the old man in the picture, that is marine admiral coby." the old man said. Luffy looked back at the picture as he looked at the aged marine. His eyes slowly widened as he stared at the picture.
"EEEEEEEEEH THATS COCBY! HOW DID HE GET SO OLD IN ONLY 4 YEARS?!"
"it is simple." the old man said as he got up and walked over to Luffy "it's been over 60 years since you have been imprisoned."
Luffy just screamed at the old man " SIXTEY?! NO WAY IF THAT WERE TRUE … I WOULD BE AN OLD MAN LIKE YOU!"
"that is because I brought you 60 years a head of your time. The hole in the wall was not to your cell in was into your time, you monkey .d. Luffy are 60 years in the future.
Luffy froze solid as a statue as the old man's words sunk in "the...future?"
"yes" the old man said as he took away the paper. Luffy slowly fell back into a chair, unable to comprehend all that has just happened. staring at the celling, replaying all that had happened in the past few minutes him. being pulled here , the food , his nakama trying again … trying again?
every body present stared to grin as they figured out were the story was going
"just what did you mean by 'try again' old man?" Luffy asked with curiosity and a faint glimmer of hope in his eyes. the old man just smiled. he held out his hands in front of him and put his thumbs and fore fingers together forming a hole "open!" he said as the space between his fingers changed "look inside."
Luffy stared at the hole as he walked towards it. he then peeked inside and looked before jumping back. he shock his head thinking it was wrong , before looking again. as he stared his eyes began to water and his lips tremble. he saw a sight that he had not seen in years, it was his old crew. his nakama. he was there to laughing and cheering with everyone.
"my … my … my" he said before braking down sobbing "MY FREINDS!"
Franky started to cry with the Luffy on screen
"yes" the old man said before he closed the hole
"No wait!" Luffy cried "Bring them back, I want to see them aging !"
"You will do more than that Luffy," the old man said with a smile "you will sail with theme once more."
"R-really?" Luffy said as he tried to get him self under control "why do all this for me old man?" he said, as the old man's face turned grim.
"because … this world is to twisted to live in any more." he said before closing his eyes "the marines are out for blood in there pursuit of 'absolute justice. it has gotten to the point that if you look at them funny that they will suspect you of criminal activity and come bust down your door. That is why I brought you here in hopes you will go back and stop them."
"I would not put it past the marines to go even more insane than they are right now." Robin said. Bellamere and a few others noded in agrement.
"how?" Luffy asked
"by achiving your dream. By becoming king of the pirates"
Luffy just stared for a long time at the old man before him. He had a chance to reunite with his old crew. to chase there dreams once agien. He could not stop the hope building up inside of his chest as tears of joy pored down his face with the biggest smile in god knows how long.
'well?" the old man said Luffy did not need a second theouht
"I will do it!"
"Was there any other option?"
"Nope!" every one present said in union with a smile.
"This is just wonderful my friends," Brook said with joy "I shall now sing a song in memory of this event. I call this song meet again." as brook began to sing their host chose to pause the video until after a small break.
