A/N: Before you read, I heave edited the last two chapters. And added some more.

Luffy looked at Shanks smiling like a mad man. "Shanks what just happen?" Luffy looked around he had a bunch of memories he didn't remember and felt very strange and tired.

"You used Haki." Shanks said smiling at him.

Luffy nodded and soon fell asleep. But not before he said "Good Shanks didn't lose his arm."

Chapter Three

Shanks looked at the child in his arms now. He knew he needed to take Luffy to train him in Haki. But the problem was he wanted the child to live a normal life.

Shanks looked to the Mayor and Makino "Could both of you follow me please?"

Makino nodded and looked to Luffy. "Will he be ok?"

Shanks had his crew following him, "My doctor will be looking him over as soon as he wakes up since nothing seems to be wrong." He said smiling.

Makino nodded.

The pirates Mayor and Makino went to the pub. But the moment the towns folk went to tie the bandits up.

Shanks went to lay Luffy down on one of the benches so he could sleep.

Benn looked at Shanks "what are you thinking?"

"I can't let someone with that strong of Haki to wonder around with out lessons. He is going to hurt someone."

"I know captain. But what will his family say?"

Shanks looked down at Luffy when Makino walked in. "Captain Shanks is Luffy ok?"

Benn looked at her "yes he is just fine. But we need to talk to his family."

Makino sighed "He doesn't have any on the island. That I know of."

Shanks looked at her and then Luffy feeling worse thinking of times Luffy wanted to go with him. He could see why now. "What do you mean by that?"

"No one knows about his parents who they are or where they are. But his grandfather leaves him here. While he is out at sea. His grandfather is old friends with the Mayor."

Benn sighed "so when should he be back, and who is he?"

Makino sighed "Garp will be back in 13 months."

Shanks looked at her "Garp the war hero?"

Makino nodded.

Shanks smiled and looked to Ben "We will take Luffy with us for 12 months and bring him back." The crew was listening and looked at the kid thinking of all the times he said is punch was as strong as a pistol.. Now some believed him since they seen him try to lie last time and when he talk about it he not been lying like he did before.

Benn dropped his cigarette "what Captain are you crazy. We can't do that."

Shanks smiled "come on we will just travel a bit."

Luffy at the moment sat up. "Shanks?" He looked to him how could he be alive.. His eyes widen when he knew he was a child again. He started to smile. "I change it. You didn't lose your arm." He smiled.

"What are you talking about Anchor?"

"Coby sent my future me back in time." He started to ramble on about time traveling and everyone dying and merging to save everyone. And Luffy started to cry looking at Shanks.

Shanks walked over picked the child up and put in in his lap. While holding the kid. "Its ok Luffy no one died. Now clam down." He looked to Benn, "Benn shut the door." He didn't want anyone walking into the bar he didn't trust with his life. He looked at Luffy. "Ok, Explain everything to me."

Luffy was looking at him and nodded.

"Ok Luffy start from the begging and tell me everything."

Luffy nodded it felt strange he knew he was older but felt so young and carefree still. "Well when you had a gun to your head my older me, well me I came to my self and we merged."

Benn nodded to stop the captain from speaking. "Go on Luffy."

"Ok so I have lived this before but it was different. When I was a kid last time I didn't have control of my Haki at the time. And well the bandit leader took me on the ocean and then you came to save me Shanks. But you lost your arm to a sea king." Shanks nodded. "So time went by I went and started a pirate crew was the best but over time everyone died. My brother Ace was killed and then when I became King you been killed as well. And then my crew a few year later where killed by the marines." He lowered his head thinking how he had not been there to help. He should have trusted his gut. And wasn't going to let anyone die this time around. "My friend Coby became an Admiral and has the redo fruit. And said he let me fix things and make it better."

Benn raised an eye brow as Luffy explained the power. Benn had a feeling that Coby must have used his power in the past and things didn't turn out for the better. And because of his changes the chain of events made the world. So he sent Luffy back so he could make things right again and maybe make it better. So by sending Luffy back it would make things better. He already made Shanks keep his So he wanted Luffy to go back and make everything better.

Shanks looked at him, "Well looking at you I can see you changed. Your Haki level is extremely high. And I want to make sure you can use it to your full control. Then I can see your now more muscular than before."

Luffy looked at himself noticing this he looked and saw he no longer had the scar on his chest. He hoped up and didn't feel that different from when he was an adult just shorter. He could tell his Haki was a little bit different it felt like there was more and less control.

Shanks looked at him then to Benn.

Benn sighed "We need to take him."

Luffy looked at them. "Wait I need to be back in 8 months."

"Why?" Shanks asked.

"Because Gramps will be back early to take me to live with Ace.."

Shanks looked surprised "Makino said he be back in 13 months."

"Oh…."

Shanks looked at Luffy "Look I need to train you since your Haki is a little off."

Luffy nodded "Yeah I kinda don't have full control… I think it is because we merged."

Shanks nodded "Yeah but lets get you training and I will keep an ear out for Garp. When he moves there is always something in the news paper."

Luffy smiled "Thanks Shanks."

Shanks looked at him, "We will talk later if there is something I can help you with Luffy I will." He didn't know why but he could feel the change in Luffy. It felt like he was back with his Captain. He could see why he been so drawn to Luffy. And he wanted to keep that haunted look he saw Luffy had as he was telling his story.

Benn sat with Shanks as Luffy was dragged off by the rest of the crew to hear the boys stories of his life as a pirate.

Makino was with the Mayor talking about what they should do. Shanks was listening and both agreed that they should not tell Garp since he was the worst with secrets.

Makino was looking at Luffy and any one could see how bad she felt for him.

Shanks looked at Benn when they were alone. "We need to find that devil fruit."

Benn looked at his captain surprised. "What?"

"I want to hide it. And put it some where no one will get this. I pretty sure Luffy knows time had been changed before.. If not I don't want him to know. And I plan to help Luffy as much as possible."

Benn looked at him, "So you want to hide it where would you put it."

"Bottom of the calm belt."

Benn shook his head "we will just have to think of some other places as well."

Shanks nodded, "I saw we take him to train. More so he is not used to the memories and he needs to learn. If he wants to help his crew be saved I will just teach him things he doesn't know."

Benn nodded "yeah, when he is done we will sit down. He said something about his brothers dying. And the way he told how Whitebeard die would not be good."

Shanks nodded "I don't want that to happen to him."

Benn smiled "We should go get a room for the runt."
