Chapter 1-Old The Pirate King Luffy:
Monkey D Luffy, the new and second pirate king of the grand line. His bounty had reached over 100 billion berries and the World government hates everything about him. He had turned the world on its head. Alongside his trusty crew, who also had seen their dreams through the end. Zoro had defeat Dracule Mihawk to become the new strongest swordsman in the world. Nami had drawn the map of the world. Usopp had become a brave warrior of the high sea. Sanji finally saw the all-blue. Chopper became an excellent doctor in the world, who could cure every disease known to man. Robin learned the whole world history, finally finding out what had happened with the hundred years humility forgotten. Franky's and the crew's ship, the Thousand Sunny, had seen the whole Grand line and the rest of the world at least once or twice. And Brooke, who finally got to see his dear old friend Laboon, a big whale at the beginning of the Grand Line, to fulfill a promise he had with his old crew. The crew sailed around the whole world, going on new adventures and helping people along the way. However, after a while, the crew slowly split apart. First went Chopper, who had to save other people with different illnesses. Next was Brooke, who wanted to tour the world with his newfound rock and roll band. Then went Sanji, who had to take over The Baratie after Zeff had passed away. Third went Franky, when he got a letter from Water 7, stating that Iceberg was sick and he was getting worst. The fourth was Nami, who felt a little homesick and wanted to meet her little niece. Surprisingly Zoro was next, he needed to get back to his homeland after hearing the dojo was ransacked due to swordsmen and pirate hunters heard he was from there. Then went Usopp, who wanted to stay and raise his two kids. Lastly was Robin, who stayed with Luffy for a long while. The two grew close, closer then they did before, closer than any other of his crewmates. That was until she wanted to open her own library to share with the people the history of the world, leaving Luffy all alone, in some bar, on some island. Drinking by himself, reading the newspaper. The top news was Coby, the little cadet, he and Zoro helped all these years ago. Luffy grinned through his rough and scruffy face. New cuts and battle wounds covered his face and elderly body. He traded his traditional red shirt and blue jean shorts to a more favorable long red coat and long black pants, but still was wearing his trusty sandals. And his most valuable treasure, his straw hat that was worn down with no one to help keep it up to shape.
"At a boy Coby, you finally made. Your dream came true" Luffy chuckled. However, he felt a little sad. He remembered all the adventures he and his crew had back in the day. And all the fun times and laughs they had. Luffy sighed to shake off the memories and then order another drink. As he sipped down on the ale, a man walked through the door, casting his shadow on Luffy's back. He slowly walked towards the bar and sat next to Luffy. Luffy side-eyed the man, looking him up and down. The man wore all black, with a black coat and a black hat to match. He also ordered an ale, before side-eyeing Luffy himself.
"The pirate king himself" The strange man smirked, "What lucky man I am for meeting you here" The man slowly took off his hat and placed on the bar. The man had a normal look to him. Nothing popped out when you look at him. Clean cut hair and clean shaved face, the opposite of Luffy.
"Yeah, it seems like you're the only one " Luffy responded, before taking a swig out of his mug.
"It would seem like you're a bit down on yourself, captain." The man started to look concerned.
Luffy chuckled, "I haven't heard someone call me that it quite a long time" Luffy grinned as he finished off his drink. "Well, I guess this enough drinking for an old man like" Luffy rose to his to feet and headed to the door.
"How about you do all over again?" The man blurted out. This stopped made Luffy at the door.
"What do you mean?" Luffy asked, looking back at the man.
"I mean, what if you had the option to go back in time and experience you and your crew's whole adventure again. Would you take it?" The man smiled.
Luffy shared at the man for a moment before, "Of course I would, but unfortunately there's no power in the world that could allow me to do such a thing." Luffy turned back towards the door, about to walk out. 'If only' he thought.
"And what if I said I have that exact power you're looking for." The man's smile grew bigger. Luffy slowly turned his head back at the man. "I could send you back in time to relive your adventure, from the day you meet Shanks to the day you found the One Piece and became the Pirate king." Luffy's eyes widen. He could actually see his friends again and go through his great advantages once more. "But of course there are conditions to this. Firstly this timeline is not the same as yours. There be a few changes to you're friends and crew. You'll be graining more members and don't worry you won't lose any. And secondly, you will have some memories of this timeline, but only certain ones. However, you don't have to retain all your powers you had learned over the years like your haki, you just have to remember how to use them. It's just like relearning how to ride a bike. Do you understand these terms?" Luffy nodded his head. The man smiled, "Good, now just say the words captain and I'll send you back in your seven-year-old body on the day you met Red hair Sharks."
Luffy thought to himself for a moment before coming to a conclusion, "What will happen this timeline?"
"Nothing, it just forgets the name known as Monkey D Luffy." The man explained.
"I-I see" Luffy responded. Luffy thought again for a moment, "I think I'm good kid." Luffy walked out the tavern and headed back to ship, The Thousand sunny. The lonely ship swaying and creaking on the local docks. Luffy slowly climbed aboard and look around the quiet deck. No other sounds could be heard, only the sounds of the waves smacking against the hull. Luffy strolled around the ship with his memories of him and his crew flashing before his eyes. Luffy sat down in the middle of the ship and pulled out another bottle of rum from his coat pocket.
"You know, you can't seek up on someone that has trained up his observation Haki over the years as I do," Luffy said out loud before taking a swig from the bottle. The man from the tavern only smirked as he jumped down from the mast.
"I was hoping you would sense me up there" The man laughed.
"Is that so"
"I just wanted to tell you the offer is still on the table captain. Think about, you can change it all. To happen with your friends, to what happens to love ones. People who died in this timeline can be saved in the other" The man said, sitting next to Luffy, placing his hand on his shoulder. "All you have to do cap is say the word."
"Why are so hooked on sending me back in time?" Luffy questioned.
"Well might as well tell ya" The man moved his hand off of Luffy, "It's the timeline I want."
"The timeline?" Luffy looked more confused.
"Aye the timeline. You see I'm a time master and I've seen so many timelines with you and your crew that I wanted to make one of my own. The other timelines I speak of is made by other time masters you see, including this one." The man pointed down, "Some have you succeeding, while some have you failing. But this one is the loneliness and saddest one I have seen so far. This is the first time you and your crew split up on your guy's own terms. It's quite sad and I hate seeing my favorite group of pirates end like this. So I made a timeline that I can send you to that fix these wrongs." The man finishes his explanation with a smile. "However I cannot send you to that timeline without your say so."
Luffy thought for a moment, "So this is the saddest timeline?" Luffy asked with a low tone.
"Yeah, the saddest. And like I said, I've seen you guys fail and horribly too." The man explained again.
"Alright, I guess they'll just have to forget me for a while." Luffy grinned. The man matched his grin.
"Good, now get ready for a bumpy ride" The man winked as he snapped his figures. Cause Luffy to be sent flying backward into time before finally landing in Foosha village in his seven-year body. He was young again and he could feel it too. However, the memories of his friends and his upcoming adventure were fading away. But he didn't care as he heard someone in the village yelling about pirates landing in the village. Luffy had a huge grin plastered across his face as ran towards the local tavern to meet his new friends.
A/N: Thank you to all who read my god awful filled grammar story. I'm fixing on the other chapters as well and adding more to them before starting to write the sixth chapter. I really do enjoy writing this story and hopefully, I'll start publishing more chapters in the near future.
