A/N: I am... Here. Again. Hi. XD Hello... :)
"Before your story, I wanna know, do you all understand what are we getting ourselves into?" Luffy - of the future - asked to everyone around and he is trying to supress his shy-ness with his younger self sitting on his lap - after an arguement with Ace about something.
"We believe so, yoi," Marco replied in behalf of everyone and folded his arms before sitting down waiting for the next story. Everyone nodded in agreement.
If you readers still don't understand then review your question. Luffy will answer your questions.
"Yep!" answered the young Luffy. Everyone stared at him dumbfoundedly.
"To whom are you talking to?" sweatdropping along with a smile, the future Luffy asked to his past self.
"To the author!" ...
"Anyways! About my story... ," Shanks started his tale gaining everyone's attention.
"No more confusion please," Hancock glared at the red-haired man warning-ly.
Shanks chuckled at the Beauty Goddess. Yes. He admits her beauty. Anyways...
"Once...

~ WEST BLUE, ONCE UPON A TIME ~
"Tonight, you will die, Taine. I promise your death," gripping tightly onto the wooden stick in his right hand, the red-haired boy glared at the meant man who was tale-telling to the citizens. He was admired for his amazing wording of words but despised by his clothing attires. He wasn't cute nor handsome. He wasn't ugly too.
He had dark brown shoulder-length hair, muscular and large-sized body, wearing dark blue open jacket with dark blue laggings. His outfits were always disgusting.
He wasn't hated by everyone but that red-haired boy wants him dead so badly. His acts of harassing pretty woman at night is a disgrace. And. That's not it. That man sold his mother to the Celestial Dragons! And his mother killed herself to avoid from being prisonned for her entire life by those so-called royal-blooded men. He'll one day get his revenge on them all.
He swore he would.
And so he would.

She really wants to know what is her younger sister doing during these times of the night. She was never afraid of the darkness since all she could see was only pitch black. Nothing more.
Why? Actually, she is searching for her younger sister. Where could she be? She always disappears during this times of the night. And she never told her what she did.
"Hey lookie, everyone!" the waist length-haired lady froze in her steps.
"It's a cute little kittie!"
"Are you lost kittie?"
The men laughed as their hands reached to touch her. Before those hands reached her fair skin, foam formed in their mouth and they collapsed to the ground. It felt like wind was blowing but no way the wind is blowing in a very short time like thi-
She squealed at the sudden grip on her right hand.
However, the warmth of the hand quickly calmed her nerves. The warmth... It feels so... Comfortable. Calming... And caring?
She smiles at the presumably thin air but actually making a certain pirate captain blushing slightly seeing her smile. It was so... Comforting.
"Yo-you okay?" the man stuttered.
The lady smiled wider. "I'm perfectly fine. Thank you, ... "
"Roger. My name is Gol D. Roger."
"Thank you, Roger. I'm Rouge. Portgas D. Rouge. Nice to meet you."
"Go away."
The boy stomped away from the girl angrily as the girl never stopped following him.
"But please... I'm lost... I really need to go to the town... This time, I'm not lying... " the girl is now sobbing and trying to hold back her tears. The boy sighed before turning around to face the girl. He stared at her worry-filled eyes and her sad face. He frowned in sympathy at her. He hopes that this won't be the girl's twenty-fifth lie.
"Okay. Follow me," the boy readjusted his black cap before turning away and lead their way. The girl grinned and immediately her griefs are all gone.
"Thanks! By the way! I'm Lune! Portgas D. Lune! And you are?"
"Dragon. Monkey D. Dragon."
"I heard that there's a girl rumoured to be able to hear all kinds of voices, whether it be an animal's heart's whispers or even our feelings! If we let captain know about her, with no doubt he's gonna search for her," and everyone truly is aware of what their captain would do if he knows about the girl.
Rayleigh sighed before chugging down the mug of beer.
"He'll pass."
Everyone huh-ed at the vice captain.
Rayleigh smirked at them. "My instincts said so. You doubting me?"
"N-nope!"
When Roger - or any other Ds - is finally silent, there really is something not right. It's either the world is coming to an end or maybe he's sick. ...
Anyways, "Y-you okay?" asked the fine-looking lady. Roger blinked at her blind eyes. He chuckled sheepishly before letting her go. Rouge smiled gratefully at her savior though she can't see him. Her sister always said to her to believe strangers whom you feel comfortable with, so... She believes this 'Roger' since his warmth calms her- wait what?
Warmth? Since when did she notice that?
Silence greeted the two young adults.
Blushing, the two stuttered to start a conversation.
"I-" "I-"
The two bit their lips in embarrassment.
"Well-" "Well-"
Roger sighed before putting his hand over the lady's mouth. Rouge was taken aback at this and almost decided to hit him in case he's into something not good.
"I am not a villager from around here but I believe you came from here?" the man asked as he lets go his hand from the unknown lady's mouth. Rouge swallowed and took in a deep breath - and when did she started to hold her breath? The stranger who saved her just now seems believable and is there any reason for her to not believe him?
Smiling ever so calmly, "I'm not from here too but I know the way around," she uttered.
Roger was about to laugh but he muffled them instead. How can a blind woman, who isn't even from here know the way around while he, who is also not from here can't even find his way to a place with people? He's so stupid. He then chuckled at his own thoughts.
Frowning, Rouge felt offended by the man. She folded her arms showing that she was upset. Roger blinked once before laughing again. She then pouted at the air in front of her.
"I'm sorry... I wasn't laughing at you, actually. Just that, I can see while you can't. I don't know the way around while you know. And we're both not from here! That's what made me laugh," Roger started to laugh again before making Rouge joining in to the laughter.
After a few moments, their laughter finally stopped.
"Roger-san. You are indeed funny," Roger scratched his head with a cheeky smile plastered on his face. "- and weird," Roger pouted at this and he even sighed when the lady laughed.
"Anyways, I'm hungry. I really wanna go eat somethin'... Can you show me the way?" the pirate captain placed his hands behind him awkwardly. 'Tch. Good, Roger. Asking for help from someone who can't even see,' a voice in his head scolded him.
Rouge thought about it for a moment. 'Maybe I can find Lune somewhere? That kid's so troublesome!' She then unknowingly sighed making the raven flinch, worrying she would refuse.
"I am actually searching for my younger sister. She always goes out during this time and she never tells me why. I'm pretty worried about her. So...-" the freckled lady had thought about her idea and decided to use it. Roger tilted his head wanting to know what was it. No matter how confused his facial expression was, it's useless since Rouge can't see him getting lost. "- while I send you to the village, can you help me search for my sister?"
Roger immediately felt relieved. He nodded with a grin but realizing the fact she can't see - once again - he responded to her request, "Ye-Yeah! Sure! No problem... "
With that, the two head to the village with Roger holding Rouge's hand in case of anything.
Noisy. Annoying. Childish.
Dragon could just list down all of the negative things this girl had. But no... He promised to help her get back to town and so he will. Wait, was it a town, or a village? Meh. He didn't care about that. As long as she gets away, then he'll be finally at peace. It's not that he's dying.
'Wait.' The seventeen years old boy stopped in his steps. He blinked.
"How did you get into here? And what exactly are you, a girl doing out here all alone during this time of the night?" he questioned the suspicious girl who was just blinking at him blankly. It took a few moments for the gears in her brain to actually work back again.
She looked to her left before pushing her lips to the front. "I... I don't remember."
Dragon couldn't help but to sweatdrop at her. 'She can't lie.'
If she can't lie, then that means she is not a threat. And that means he's an idiot for falling into her tricks and lies twenty-four times in this day.
Her brown eyes shine under the moonlight as she stared innocently at the young adult.
Dragon stared back uncomfortably.
Sighing, he smiled at this 'Lune'.
"Listen. You can trust me. If you have any problem, you can tell me. I'm a revolutionary and I intend on changing peoples' lives and changing this world. You hear me?" okay. He regretted saying that. But that's true. He is a revolutionary, heck, he's the leader himself. He should show the role model of a revolutionary to his followers, though they're not around. Lune continued to stare at him, just that now, her eyes are reflecting fear and worry.
"I know," she suddenly uttered. Dragon took a step back at this in case she's planning anything.
Raising an eyebrow, the cloaked teen asked, "K-know what?"
"You're a revolutionary. You are the leader of the revolutionary. You're Monkey D. Garp's son and you grew up with Gol D. Roger. I can hear you just fine. I ate the Hiso Hiso no Mi so I can hear every whispers around and I can listen to any sounds and voices all around me. Including a person's thoughts," with that dumb grin on her face while explaining her abilities, Dragon can't believe that someone like her exists. Wait, there are worse people out there.
Dragon furrowed his eyebrow. "So, why did you lie?"
"Just because."
Sweatdrop, again.
"I wanted to make it my twenty-fifth lie to you. It's funny," she laughed. Dragon sighed once again. He can't believe he just fell into her trick. Again.
"So what's your story, Lune?" Dragon asked while folding his arms. Lune blinked at him before taking a deep breath.
"I wanna donate my eyes to my sister."
Dragon widened his eyes listening to this. He can't possibly misheard her now, can he? Only dying people would be willing to donate their body organs. But this?
"Are you dying!?" immediately, panic took over his feelings. He rushed to her before he begun to shake her body badly.
Lune pushed him away, feeling annoyed before dusting herself.
"I am not dying. But I just wanna let my sister see this world again. I can't hold it!" she hugged herself and backfaced the man. "Every night. Before we go to sleep, she'd always say to herself how she misses seeing the world! And she'd always whimper to herself about how unfortunate she is. I wanna change that! Even though I can't see her smile when she can finally see later, at least I can hear her happy laughter!"
Dragon's respect towards Lune immediately increased. From five percent it increased to a hundred percent. Maybe more.
"And what happened to her eyes?"
Lune glared at him though she didn't meant the glare towards him.
"Celestial Dragons."
Almost immediately, dark clouds start to gather at the island. His eyes are shadowed under the brim of his cap. Dragon never felt anything nice when hearing that title.
"They took her eyes away from her and exchanged it with their filthy eyes. That's not just it! They took us away from our home and brought us here because only the doctors here knew how to exactly do a ... Umm... Eye transplant? Whatever you call them. I was supposed to be blind too until I found an escape from all of that."
"And how are you gonna donate your sister your eyes? I believe that the transplant would be super expensive if those so-called world nobles are willing to come here."
"Money, duh."
"I don't believe you're the type to steal. So how do you get 'em?"
"I've already started collecting money since the last two years. I worked at a tavern in the village-look-like town and I believe it's enough for the transplant, now, " Lune grinned at him.
Finally, she grinned and this somehow made Dragon felt himself being washed by relief. Why? Just now, he could feel the grief and stress she was holding when she talked about all of this. One thing he's impressed about her is her great persona. She is willing to live in the darkness and let her sister go out to see the world.
Unconciously, Dragon smiled at his own thoughts. The gathering dark clouds retreated from the island. Noticing the weird phenomena, Lune suspected something. Then again, she can read through peoples' minds.
"You're devil fruit is awesome!" eyes shining in amusement, the young boy chuckled at her compliment and her behaviour. He then sighed realizing he got used to her personality pretty quick.
'That's amazing,' he thought. He eyed her with his eyes narrowed and mind thinking, 'She has the speciality to make people attach themselves to her without them knowing. That's one of the most wanted speciality in the seas,' he then closed his eyes accepting the fact.
"Let's go."
"Eh?"
"What?"
"Umm.. Nothin'."
Nodding reassuringly to the girl, Dragon grinned his widest grin to comfort her. Lune grinned back at him with a big grin of her own.
It's okay to wait.
That's what he thought for the first five minutes since their captain ran away to chase this, 'adventure' and 'freedom' he was seeking after weeks of being on a ship in the seas. Rayleigh sighed for the fifth time in his thirty minutes of waiting their captain to finally appear in the town, or village, heck he doesn't care about that now as long as Roger appears.
"Yo, Rayleigh!" the called man jumped as Roger suddenly appeared from behind him.
Roger grinned mischievously at the poor blond man. Rayleigh glared at his childish captain. Before he could ask where did that captain went to have this 'adventure' and 'freedom' he was awaiting for, a beautiful lady with a long strawberry blonde hair caught his eyes.
Raising an eyebrow, the vice captain of the Roger Pirates looked at his captain for answers.
"What?" the man blinked as his first mate stared at him questioningly. Then, he looked at the lady beside him. "Oh, she?" when he received a nod, he continued, "She's searching for her sister. Since she helped me searching this place, I decided to help her," and he grinned at his annoyed first mate.
Rouge gulped out of nerve before bowing to her front, where she assumed this 'Roger's friend was at. Noticing this, Roger eyed between the two with Rayleigh sweatdropping. He then quickly pulled Rouge to Rayleigh's front.
"I'm Rouge. Nice to meet you, Rayleigh-san," she then raised her head from her bow. She smiled ever so calmly and the freckles on her cheeks made her look much more adorable. Rayleigh blushed at this.
The first mate then faked a cough, getting rid of his blush.
"Nice to meet you too, Rouge-san," the blond man replied before his perverted side took control of his mind. He eyed the lady from top to bottom and vice versa. She had a waist-length strawberry blond hair with those freckles, she was wearing a white blouse with an ankle-length light peach skirt and to make her look ever so lovelier, she had a beautiful red flower stuck on the right side of her hair.
Seeing how lovely she looked like, the perverted side of him stomped away seeing that Rayleigh was too amused with her beauty.
Rouge tilted her head as silence started to took over the tavern. Roger, noticing the unusual silence from his first mate waved his hand in front of the blond man.
When that didn't work, he pinched Rayleigh's left cheek which immediately made the man glaring at him ever so intensely.
"Stop that, idiot," Roger pulled back his hand while smiling mischievously.
Rayleigh sighed at his captain's idiocy.
Rouge giggled listening to the two men's conversation. She was sure that something funny was happening out there.
Roger smiled at her in relief. Noticing that, Rayleigh eyed his captain suspiciously. Then he watched as the two young adults talked comfortably. Then, something clicked in his mind. He widened his eyes in fear of losing his sanity.
"YOU ARE BOTH IN LOVE!?" the two young adults stared at somewhere else before looking at Rayleigh. Roger blinked at him before sweatdropping.
"What? To whom are you talking to, Rayleigh?" Rayleigh had never felt so stupid in his entire life and now, all he need is only a good night rest; sleep.
"No one. Just... Do what ever you wanna do. I'm off to sleep," massaging his forehead, his frown becomes more clear as something big crashed onto the wall of the tavern. "What the heck is it now..." He muttered as he glared at innocent Roger and Rouge who were shooking their heads.
They all walked to where the sound was coming from and Rayleigh was quite amused to see that unfamiliar face. Meanwhile, Roger's eyes were shining in amusement. Poor Rouge who can't see the enormous face.
"That really hurts," the okama said. Another okama of normal human size came to his aid, along with a huge cloaked man who wore a cute bear-themed clothing. The purple afro-haired okama rubbed his side before trying to sit up. "What type of bench was that...?" the okama frowned with a not-so-grumpy face.
Frowning unhappily, Rayleigh grunted and cursed under his breathe. Roger stared at his first mate in worry - and fear - and poked at Rayleigh's shoulder.
"Something's about to happen tonight." Roger hummed at the blond man's statement in confusion. "Be ready." Rayleigh glanced at his captain before watching the ruckus ahead of them.
Roger just stayed at his first mate's side and watch the giant faced man complaining about the bench.
"Told you that the bench wasn't safe," the childish pirate captain whispered to Rayleigh, in which making the latter roll his eyes away. Just how did his captain knew? Mystery indeed.
Just as everything was about to go out normal as before, a thrashing sound of a young lady and a desperate voice of a young man could be heard coming down, towards them.
Everyone there turned their attention to the woods just beside the bar.
Two figures came out of the bushes and trees making everyone there blink in astonishment - much. The group ahead of Roger were gasping while Roger himself was just staring boredly at the familiar man.
"Did you have to pick that stupid frog!?" the man was carrying a lady bridal-style and currently scolding at her - pissed.
"I have too! That frog sounded hurt!"
"This frog-" the cloaked man pulled off his hood before roughly taking the frog from the girl's hand. "It is freaking hurt because it was mating!"
A pure moment of silence met the party there. Dragon's breathing rate slowed down while Lune gave him a curious stare.
Standing innocently, she asked, "What's mating?"
Dragon blinked before straightening his posture. "Um, sex?" he replied, hesitant was more than clear in his voice.
A glint of amusement can be seen on Lune's eyes, "Do you know how to do that, sex-thing?"
Blinking again, Dragon replied, "Unfortunately, no. But all I know it hurts," Lune then tilted her head in disappointment, "Do you?"
"I don't know but my sister knows. We can ask her to demonstrate it to us," grinning happily and innocently, Lune placed her hands on her waist. Everyone there facepalmed - except for Dragon.
That head of revolutionary was smiling innocently, "Really?"
"That's so not gonna happen!" Rayleigh stared weirdly at his captain. Why is his captain talking to that man there as if he knows that man?
"Lune. Is that you?" Roger blinked at Rouge. Dragon and Lune looked at the two adults ahead of them.
"Rouge-ne?"
"Roger?"
"NUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Everyone, again changed their attention towards a boy who was running towards them. It appears he had just done something -terrible- to someone and he's fleeing.
"What now," the blond beside Roger grunted in a really annoyed tone.
"This will be such a long night," uttered the man beside the giant-faced man before taking a sip of his wine.
A/N: I am finally here! YESHHH! I am frustrated with my 'f' key causeit doesn't work anymore... And it is reallllly hard to write out stuff like the word I just typed as many of the words contain 'f'. Grr...
Anyways! Wow. I feel like crying. Stories has made out this far and I can't believe I updated just now! *pissed or another reason*
So, onto reviews corner! ^^/
EpicAsianOrangeTiger26
Thanks for the review! Sorry it came out laaate... I think I warned people at the summary outside... ... *shrugs*
Guest
Well, you have to be really patient to see the actual fun in the story.. Trust me. Things will get much more confusing... *evil laugh* Oh. Thanks for the review! ^^
general yumi
Yep. That's why I placed the warning on the summary. And, sorry for the late chapter. Later, things will just get much more confusing. And I'll start to lose my mind - if that never happened.
scatteredPhilosopher
HI! Sorry for the laaate update.. You're a bit close with your guess, y'know.. *winks* Just wait... ^^
Ahh... My besty had said that she likes stories like this- people revived... But then- I thought- how about revived AND young? ^^ About the OC, we all will get it through. I don't really like OCs but I just wanna fill some positions and make the story plot much more interesting... ^^ Almost all of them are destined to die though. T.T OOppSS! Spoilerrr... ^^
Tyufvfv
Here it is, matey! Sorry it came out late, though... *bows*
Ghostunderasheet
Hi! I like you since the moment I saw your profile pic. ^^ Thanks for the encouragement, my friend. Just what I need! I'm sorry this came out late and short... But this is it for now. Thanks for the compliment! :)
UPDATE girl
Hi there... Thanks for the review~! Sorry it is short... And late... But still, I hope you enjoyed it! ^^
Okay. Now, my own opinions about this chapt;
It was really frustrating to type without f key and i had to press the ctrl plus v keys again and again to get an f. See. Grr... But that's not it. This chapter, I want to leave it there so that I can focus on the actual story behind this meeting. ^^ Yep. OC. Lune. She's rather annoying, right? Well, I'm quite annoyed to write her out too, but her personality is what I'm proud of. I hope Luffy's mother is far greater than what I had imagined her to be. ^^
There's another story about Roger and Dragon... In which it'll be revealed laterrrr... ^^
Just wait, kay? And Shanks.
Uhhmm... I really had a hard time imagining his actual past story, but then again... Maybe he actually hated the WG? More about him will be revealed! Just you wait! :D
So that's all from me... See ya! I own nothing except the OCs and the story plot and thank you for reading. Sorry it's short and quite disappointing but I hope you enjoyed it... If no then sorry...
Till then!
Zai jian! ;!
