"Gra-Gra-Grandpa where did you come from? Your not supposed to be here yet!" Luffy shrieked loud enough for everyone to here including Shanks.
"Answer me brat, what happened?" Garp shouted.
Luffy looked at him and said, "You were there with me we're back in the past with a do over. Do you remember Blackbeard and reaching laugh tale and Roger?" He whispered the old pirate king part.
"I must confess I thought I was losing my mind and dreamed the whole thing." Garp said ashamed.
Luffy looked at his beloved grandpa in the eyes and with a smile said, "Don't worry we will make this world better than the last one."
Garp raised an eyebrow and responded with, "How do you intend to do that?"
His grandson put on a serious expression and asked, "Do you trust the World Government and still think that the Marines are just? Especially with things like Ohara, Flevance, the execution of Ace just because of his parentage and other things that the world government has done."
Garp took a step back not expecting the answer and deeply thought about it. After a few moments he spoke up and with a tone of regret said, "The Marines have helped many people, but with the World Government in charge it's not as good as it could be."
Shanks overhearing the whole thing went over with a big smile and said, "If you became an Admiral you could help get the Marines where they need to be, I know in your past life that you didn't because you don't like the idea of serving under those detestable Celestial Dragons."
Garp thought for a minute and looked up and replied,"I think you might be on to something, I might be able to get Sengoku to help. He follows their orders but I can tell he doesn't actually like them."
Luffy's eyes were shadowed and the two veterans looked at the younger with concern while he stated, "He's the reason why Ace had his execution."
His grandpa looked down with sad eyes and said, " I promise you this, we will change things I know Sengoku and deep down he is a good guy. I think once he understands all that's at stake we will be able to bring him over to our side."
Luffy and Shanks looked at each other and Shanks spoke up, "Could you get him here with everyone else?"
"What do you mean, who is coming here?" The old vice admiral said with a raised eyebrow.
With the biggest smile he could muster Luffy excitedly stated, "My crew, pineapple and the old man and their crew and my dad." Luffy went wide eyed and yelled, "Shanks we forgot to tell my dad to come!"
Garp looked up and said, "I'll contact him for you, but who is pineapple and old man, I don't understand."
Shanks with the same smile as the young captain said in a devilish tone, "Whitebeard and Marco the Phoenix."
Before Garp could respond, "What about Rayleigh and Hancock? We need them!" Luffy screeched.
Shanks facepalmed and asked, "Who else do you want here while we are at it?"
Luffy put his hand on his chin and thought about it for a bit and said, "My Grand Fleet members are the only ones that I can think of. But they are scattered around the world."
Shanks took a minute and thought it over. "Do you know where anyone of them is at the moment? I could go get them and go on for now and also pick up recourses that we most likely need to get for the future."
Luffy nodded his head in agreement and the matter was done with. He looked at his grandpa and asked in a serious tone, "You still going to drop me off with the mountain bandits?"
The old man thought about it and responded, "Yes I think it would be best. I know I wasn't around as much as I could have been but I'll make a greater effort to be there for you this time around."
Luffy got a smile on his face and proclaimed, "I wouldn't have it any other way. Let's go see Dadan. I'll give back her memories like I did with Makino."
So the three went up the familiar path up the mountain side reminiscing about old times. Looking at places to set up camp to house the magnitude of people that they were expecting to be there. They kept walking and found a familiar presence. As soon as Luffy sensed the freckled boy he shouted, "Ace!!!!"
Ace turned around and went wide eyed.
The freckled boy got tackled in a hug by his younger, older brother. As soon as this happened with tears in his eyes falling down his cheeks he sobbed, " Luffy how is this possible? I died in your arms and then woke up in my younger body not to long ago."
Luffy smiled and didn't dare let go of his brother saying, " I came back to the past to do over. It was all possible because of your Dad at Laugh Tale."
Ace with a frown responded, "Tell me everything. But first we will get Sabo. He also remembers."
Luffy had a big smile and replied with, "Yes, everyone I consider family remembers. Does Dadan and the rest of the mountain bandits remember the future events?"
Ace answered him saying, " Well only Dadan, Dogra and Magra remember. The rest of the mountain bandits don't remember anything about those future memories."
Luffy nodded his head and continued with, "Well I might be able to do something about that. After all I was given the power to give people their future memories and also give them their future abilities and power. It was one of the wishes that I asked Roger to grant before the time reset had happened."
Ace went wide eyed after hearing this from his younger brother. "Well we are almost there let's keep on going, Lu. I will make one thing clear when you get crowned this time, I will be with you by your side."
Luffy looked in his brother's eyes with determination and said, "I wouldn't have it any other way. I will make sure you're alive this time and we will have plenty of help with that also." He looked back at the two older men, Shanks and Grandpa Garp, with his big D smile.
The group of four kept walking and soon reached their destination. Dadan, Dogra and Magra were already outside and as soon as they spotted the group, they had tears in their eyes and ran towards the newcomers and exclaimed, "Luffy!"
Luffy had tears in his eyes and ran towards the three bandits and stretched his arms out and gave the three a warm embrace.
Dadan asked, "How is this possible? I remember things that haven't happened yet. But I know you have something to do with it."
Luffy nodded his head and said, "Roger gave us a redo."
The three bandits were shocked by this revelation and Dadan inquired, "You mean Gold Roger the first pirate king who's been dead for multiple years?"
Luffy replied, "Yes, we made it to Laugh Tale, the last island and the Marines set a trap and our entire force was destroyed. When I met Roger he said I could either claim the One Piece then and there, or go back and do it again. I chose to redo it and make sure everyone makes it this time. I'm also going to bring a storm for the World Government for what they did."
The three bandits were silent for a moment in thought and asked, "How can we help?"
Luffy said, "Well we need a lot of meat. We are going to have a lot of people here."
Luffy then explained his whole plan and then Dogra and Magra yelled, "Whitebeard is coming here to Dawn Island!!!!?"
"Yes, so we better get ready." Luffy chuckled to himself.

"Well Marco we are here," said a very legendary person.
