A/N: Eiichiro Oda owns One Piece
Let's just act Franky was 17 years old in here 'kay? xDD If I'm right then tell mehh, and it'll take 6 days to set the Log Post in Water 7…Right?
Last time in Chapter 8...
After that day rumors spread about him being the 'Straw-hatted Demon, Luffy' and some who didn't believe it and tried angering Luffy when he was at Mock Town, Let's say… It didn't go well for them. After that Luffy was able to get the sake which was enormously huge if Luffy may say so himself but had no trouble bringing it. For 4 days the log post has been set while Luffy said goodbye to the three and said that they'd meet again, which confused the three.
"OFF TO WATER 7!" Luffy yells as the two grinned and set their course.
"Luffy, can I ask you something?" Corazon asks as they were eating at the dining room.
"... Ye-… *gulp* Yeah?" Luffy says between his eating-everything mode.
"What's the use for buying a large sake bottle?" Law asks instead Corazon, Luffy stopped for a second before grinning.
"It's a secret! Shishishi!" Luffy says before eating again, which made the two sweatdrop.
"Oh, now that I remember Luffy-ya, we'll be reaching water 7 in a day." Law informs while Luffy gulps his food before cheering, which angered Law and threw his spoon to Luffy who dodged and threw something back, in the end, it turned into a food fight which was stopped by Corazon's punch.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"We're here!" Corazon shouts while Luffy was the first to come out and run towards the island.
"FOOODDDD! " Luffy slingshots himself to the island ( of course while in his 19-year-old form ), followed by the shouting of his name. Little did they know, Luffy used Geppo and went towards Franky's place ( he used Kenbunshoku Haki to know where he was ) and saw that they were making some kind of train 'OH! It's Pulling Tom!' Luffy says in his thoughts as he goes to the alley and carefully went somewhere they won't see them 'Yosh! Am I ready..? Yeah!' Luffy sarcastically thought as he turned around to see a Fishman, with short horns and a yellow body. He had markings under his eyes, black spots on his neck near his gills, sharp teeth from his lower lip pointing upward, and a white beard. White, curly hair also sprouted behind his neck from under his brown bandanna, and his large chest was covered by an unbuttoned light-blue shirt with a blue pattern on it. He had a relatively small lower body in comparison to his large upper body, and he wore brown pants and simple boots. He also had a tattoo of a flowery design on both of his shoulders, Luffy wasn't surprised, considering he sensed him long ago.
"What are you doing in this alley, kid?" The Fishman asks while Luffy just grins at him happily.
"Nothin' Who are you ossan?" Luffy asks while the ossan laughs back.
"My name is Tom, what's your name, kid?" Tom says while Luffy blinks and has a blank face before grinning at him.
"Shishishi, I'm Monkey D. Luffy! Nice to meet you Tom-ossan!" Luffy says gleefully 'This must be the "Tom" Franky was talking about!'
"It's cramped in here, would you like to go out and see our work?" Tom asks while Luffy nods and lets Tom lead the way, where Luffy remembered the most. It was the place where they got Thousand Sunny and have Usopp back! Luffy giggled while Tom looked at him questionably, but shrugged it off. "This is my students." Luffy looked and saw a mini-Franky and a mini-Iceburg-ossan.
"Hello! My names Luffy!" Luffy says while the two looks at him.
"I'mm.. Franky...!" Franky says as Luffy laughs while he typically strikes his signature pose. He leans to one side and bends the knee on the same side. The other leg is straight and going the opposite direction. He throws his head back. His arms go over his head at lock together wrist-to-wrist, and also shouting "AOW!"
"I'm Iceburg." Iceburg says with a blank face, Luffy can't help but notice the battleships behind them, of course, Franky noticed this.
"You're looking at my Battleships! Aren't they a beauty!?" Franky asks while Luffy beams and nods, its been a long time since he saw Franky and his weird antics, of course, Franky had an ego boost, so he told many things about the ships which made Luffy more happier than ever since there's nothing more better than knowing your Nakama.
( FLASHBACK )
Luffy was walking at the broken Thousand Sunny and saw Franky, who was broken and the only thing which made Luffy know him was the strawhat skull on the chest and his blue hair. Luffy remembered the last thing Franky said to him: "Live and become the supppeerrr Pirate king! We'll fend them off!" Luffy falls on his knees and cried his hearts out.
( PRESENT )
Then Luffy's name was heard throughout the island. Luffy looks on his side to see Law and Corazon running towards him with incredible speed. "Oops, that's them..." Luffy says he sweatdrops.
"DON'T YOU EVER LEAVE LIKE THAT!" Corazon yells as he bonks Luffy in the head while the two had tick marks on their forehead.
"WHAT IF YOU EARNED AN INJURY FOR GOING AWAY OR YOU TRIPPED YOU IDIOT!" Law says with a hint of worry in his tone. He checks Luffy everywhere checking for some injuries, scratches, etc etc. Luffy has a feeling that Law's becoming like Ace and Sabo day by day.
"It looks like your friends came to get you, I was hoping to know you better." Tom says while Corazon and Law bowed at them.
"Thank you for taking care and putting up with Luffy." They chorused which made Luffy say 'OI!' in the background and made them laugh, Luffy didn't want to go yet, he wanted to know more about Franky, it'd be his last travel in Grand Line after all.
"Cora-sannn.. Can we dock our ship here so I can see them again? Ne, ne...? Please..." Luffy whined and used his puppy-eyes which he didn't use for the rest of his trip and was very effective.
"You can!" Corazon says grinning while Law facepalmed despite being caught up with the puppy-eyes too. Law and Corazon have nosebleeds while they were blushing like Ace, of course, Luffy ignored this and cheered then ran like a madman to the ship, after 20 minutes the boat was shipped near the Scrap Island while Tom's family ( his students ) ate with Corazon, Luffy, and Law.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
After two days of getting to know Franky and the others better, Luffy decided to send the sake to Whitebeard, which he kept it as a secret and it was a miracle that no one asked yet, Luffy packed which made Luffy's friends and Nakama wonder. "Where are you going, Luffy?" Tom and Corazon ask while Luffy grins at them.
"I'm going to take a quick vacation somewhere, the log post will set up in 3 more days, by the time it sets up I'll be here!" Luffy says as he adjusts his handle at the sake, Franky was visibly sad, of course, the others were too.
"Isn't it dangerous for a little guy to go and travel somewhere far?" Franky says as he had a hint of pleading to not let Luffy go ( and Luffy looked like a 19-year-old so it's weird considering Luffy was much more taller and older in either form or not ), but sadly Luffy needed to do this. Luffy shook his head.
"I might go back earlier than I might expect so it's okay!" Luffy says as he tries to cheer Franky up, which worked. "Bye guys!" Luffy says as he waves to the others. "So now…" Now that they were out of sight, Luffy used his gear second and used Geppo the hardest he can, he needs it to go past New world after all. "1, 2, 3… Go!" Luffy uses Geppo and went past Grand Line, he tried searching Whitebeard's ship which was found by 30 minutes later ( which includes that Luffy went to an island and bought another sake, which was bigger ), unfortunately he can't do a good landing so he tried his best to stop himself to prevent more damage to Moby Dick ( of course Luffy shrank 'cuz he liked seeing people's reactions )
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
Marco was reading the newspaper casually next to Whitebeard, then he thought that it must have been a miracle Thatch was prevented in doing any pranks, he looked at his newspaper back then something crashed in the Moby Dick which made Marco have a tick mark. "So much for a good day-yoi..." Marco says as all of them had their guards and weapons up, then they saw two large sake bottles.
"Who would go far in crashing himself just to deliver two sake bottles!?" Thatch shouts in disbelief while the others agreed in silently.
"Ahh... It didn't hurt that much." They heard a high-pitched voice, a small figure went out of the dust and revealed a kid with a straw hat, everyone's jaw drops while Marco and Whitebeard weren't surprised in the slightest, this was New World.
"Who sent you,kid-yoi?" Marco asks while Luffy laughs at the people's reaction.
"I'm not sent by anyone, I came by myself! Shishishi!" Luffy says as he grins while the others digested the information they had with utter disbelief, Whitebeard decided to step up.
"Are you Monkey D. Luffy by any chance?" Whitebeard asks while everyone looks at him while Luffy nods gleefully.
"Shanks gave you the letter? Surprised he didn't forget about it!" Luffy jokes while Whitebeard laughs and all crewmembers looked at Marco who gave them an ' I-didn't-know ' look.
"Oyaji, who is he-yoi?" Marco asks the question everyone's been asking in their mind. Whitebeard looks at Marco with a grin.
"Remember when that red-haired brat came here personally? He gave me a letter which belonged to that brat, and I was told to read it myself." Whitebeard explains while all of them now looked at Luffy who was walking towards Whitebeard, all of them raised their weapons and guarded Whitebeard, which was denied by Whitebeard himself. "You've got to explain what this letter is all about, brat." Luffy nods as Whitebeard and Luffy went towards their room. Luffy stopped for a second which made Whitebeard look at him. Luffy looked side-ways to the commanders, smiling.
"Any commanders who wants to listen to our conversation?" Luffy asks as all the commanders instantly came to Whitebeard's side as Luffy and Whitebeard laughs then walked towards Whitebeard's room.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"So… What's all this letter about?" Thatch asks while Whitebeard was happily drinking the sakes Luffy gave him. Whitebeard stopped drinking and took out the letter and read it aloud:: "
Dear Giant-ossan-" Thatch and Haruta snickers silently as Marco gave them a bonk in the head.
"– If you're reading then Shanks believed what I said at the top, which you shouldn't read Giant-ossan. Anyways, if you're reading this I'm going to tell you that I'm from the future. You'll see me later on when I go to Water 7 to see my Nakama, if you're gonna ask the reason I came back in time, it's because something bad will happen in the future, I came here to prevent it. And if you're wondering why I told you about this is because you're crew and you yourself are involved in this, badly. I'll tell you the rest when I come Giant-ossan.
From Monkey D. Luffy, The Future Pirate King!" All the commander's jaw was on the ground while Marco sighed and he knew a headache was coming
"How are we gonna believe that kind of thing!?" Izo shouts in disbelief while Luffy wasn't surprised in the slightest, he sighs.
"I really have to show it, don't I?" Luffy asks while he starts to take off his straw hat first, then next his shirt. Everyone's eye widened, Luffy rubbed his old scar. "I thought it wouldn't come with me... But it came with me… Life is unfair, isn't?" Luffy says grimly as he chuckled darkly, which gave the shivers to each and every person inside. Izo kneels down and touches the scar as his eyes widened.
"It's real… How did you get the scar?" Izo asks quietly while Luffy smiles sadly, it made them quite guilty, it feels like they were asking something too personal.
"Portgas D. Ace, the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, my brother, and your brother, died from a war. A war which was his execution, I've heard from Ace before that Thatch the 4th division commander, died. By a traitor in this ship, the traitor was from the second division, which made Ace go and chase him. Which ended with a war, this is where I got the scar. And where we failed to protect not only Ace but Whitebeard too." Luffy explains as Thatch was horrified by the revelation.
"I knew it would come someday-yoi..." Marco says as the commanders had to agree, things don't stay the same.
"Who was the traitor?" Whitebeard finally asks while Luffy put his clothes back with a blank face.
"Marshall D. Teach." Luffy says like it was a curse as he curls his hands in fury. Thatch, who was surprisingly quiet from all this, decided to talk.
"What would he gain from killing me?" Thatch asks with his hands curled also, but not in fury, but fear of deciding to fight one of his brothers, he'd never want to imagine what it would be if he had to fight one of his brothers.
"For a devil fruit, the Yami-Yami No Mi ( Dark-Dark Fruit )." Luffy says as the others digested the information once again, Luffy looks at Whitebeard who was calm at everything and points his finger at Whitebeard, letting him know that he was about to tell something.
"Listen! You might be one of the old generations, but don't die in a battlefield with your family crying! When you die, at least do it with your family and they'll have their times with you! Seriously, you're like my brother, he doesn't go away and tell us 'If I fight a guy, I won't run away' thing! If I have to open your head and drill it in you, I'd do it!" Luffy shouts while he has a tick mark on his forehead for some reason. "Oh, Giant-ossan, don't tell Ace I came here and I came from the future, I'd like to see his shocked face when I have to punch his face! "
"GURARARARA! Fine brat!" Whitebeard says while Luffy earns a tick mark again, which really confused everyone.
"And also, I'm not a brat! I'm 62 right now!" Luffy says while everyone laughs before pregnant silence came.
"WHAT!?" All of them yelled in shock and their jaws were on the ground. Except for Whitebeard and Marco who only widened their eyes.
"62? When's your birthday?" Whitebeard asks while he stops drinking sake.
"May 5, why?" Luffy says while he raises while Whitebeard laughs.
"GURARARARA! I'm 62 and you're older than me!" Whitebeard says as he drinks his sake while everyone is ready to dig the holes deeper under their jaws. Too much... Too much information...
"And you said you were younger than everyone." Marco slyly says while Whitebeard almost spat his sake.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
The others went out as all the members were outside, visibly sweating. Marco sighed at the crowdedness. "It's all okay." Marco informs as the others cheered. But then, the shipwrights came.
"WHY IS THERE HOLES IN THE GROUND!?"
"O-OI! THE WATER'S LEAKING!"
"GET THE PLANKS, QUICK!"
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?"
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"AHHHHHH!" The others were scared shitless from Luffy's yell, he was sweating so much.
"What's wrong?" Whitebeard asks as he stops drinking sake and looks at Luffy.
"You…-" Luffy gulps and his color was drained right on the spot. "Did you invited Garp the Fist here for drinking..?" Whitebeard nods as he was white as a sheet and didn't move, until he took his backpack.
"igottagoit'sJii-chani'lldiewhenheseesmehereandhecan'tkeepasecretallhislifesohe'llprobablytellseagull-ossansokeepthisasecretfromhim ( I gotta go its Jii-chan, I'll die when he sees me and he can't keep a secret all his life so he'll probably tell seagull-ossan, so keep this a secret from him )!" Luffy says quickly as he uses gear second and Geppo in a second, Whitebeard and the others were deadly quiet as they slowly repeated what Luffy said in their minds, and then all of them shouts in surprised. ( excluding Marco and Whitebeard who knew. )
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"I'MMM BAACCKK!" Luffy shouts as he went straight on in the middle of Scrap Island, which was at the center of Law and Corazon, who shouted in surprise including Tom and the three who was at the back. "Phew, it was a quick vacation! Shishishi!" Luffy says as he patted himself. Luffy was suddenly shot by a scalpel.
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE LANDING!" Law yells as he shouted death threats at Luffy who was laughing through everything, Corazon only sighed before bonking the two in the head. Luffy looked at Tom and the three.
"Hey! I'm back! No hugs or even a 'hi' to me?" Luffy says as he jokes only to find himself at a pile of people and was hugged to death.
After that Franky wiped his tears and grinned "Welcome back, Luffy-bro!" Luffy laughed and hugged Franky, who secretly wiped a tear, he didn't had the chance to hug Franky for a long time.
"We'll leave tomorrow, that's why I'll say it today!" Luffy says as he let go of Franky who was confused along with the others "Will you be my nakama when I'll sail someday?" Luffy says, grinning as he waited for Franky to nod. Franky looked surprised, he wanted to be one of Luffy's Nakama, despite not knowing him for a long time. He looks at Tom for permission, only to find Tom laughing, Franky quickly nodded and hugged Luffy death. Tom and Iceburg was quite touched at the scene, especially at the straw-hatted who was laughing and somehow he was also crying in happiness.
OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPO
"Bye! Bye Tom-san! Bye Iceburg-ossan! Bye Franky! Bye Kokoro-bacchan!" Luffy shouts as they sailed, the others left things like 'I'M NOT THAT OLD!' and stuff like that, Luffy was going to miss them… "Off to East Blue!" Luffy shouts as he grinned.
A/N: I DROPPED A BOMB! Sorry but I think I won't be able to update for a long time, well not that long considering I'm gonna have a vacation! Also, Pulling Tom was a joke, it was actually Puffing Tom xDD
