Edward Newgate, the Strongest man in the world, whose only dream was having a family, a dream that he had from his childhood to the end of his days, has died. Izuku Midoriya, a child born quirkless in a world where quirks were popular, only wanted to be a hero just like his hero, All Might. What would happen if the fates decided that Newgate was needed in this world to save a threat that All Might possibly couldn't?

Sorry about the long wait, had a writer's block and started to get into My Hero Academia, so came this story! Also, if anyone is interested, there is a poll on my profile for story ideas, if anyone is interested in me writing another!

"Hello" Character speech

'Hello' Character Thought

"It's not you Teach. The one Roger was waiting for, it's not you." The mighty Whitebeard said, two holes in his chest, blood covering the whole front of him. The very act of him being able to talk shocked everyone, pirates and marines alike.

"W-what! How? How are you still alive?" Blackbeard, otherwise known as Marshall D. Teach asked in shock, pretty much demanding the answer. "And what do you mean it's not me?!"

Whitebeard let out a mirthless chuckle, "It'll never be you Teach. You'll never become Pirate King, that rubber brat is more likely to be it than you. Like Roger, there are others who will inherit Ace's will, MY will. It doesn't matter what you do Teach, you'll never find it, and even when you think you're on the cusp of reaching it, someone will stop you from ever reaching it."

The old, dying man took a deep breath as Sengoku glared down at him. Whitebeard look up at him with a smirk. "Sengoku… you and your world government are afraid, afraid of the man that will challenge the world to a fight, and you know you won't win. He'll turn the whole world upside down upon finding that treasure. And he will find it."

Sengoku growled, a vein crossing his head. "Don't you dare…"

Whitebeard took a breath and yelled as loud as he was still able to, "ONE PIECE! DOES EXIST!"

(Later)

Whitebeard could be seen, in his younger years, walking through a cloudy area. He was dead, he knew of much. He heard a familiar laugh as he looked over to see Gol D. Roger, laughing. "So, you finally arrived huh Newgate? How did it go, troll the World Government on the level I did?"
Edward laughed, "I did, Sengoku's reaction was priceless, as was Garp's." The two men continued laughing until it eventually died down, Newgate speaking up. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep your son safe Roger. If I wasn't sick, I could've saved him. My own recklessness, even with dealing with Teach, I could've done more."

Roger pat the taller man on the back, smiling sadly. "You did all you could old rival. Taking him in as your crewmate, seeing him as one of your sons, even while knowing that he was my kid was alright with me. I just wish Garp had trained him better is all. Besides, I'd like for you to take a look into the future, the future of our world."

Whitebeard turned his eyes to the side, looking at future events. He saw that rubber brat, Ace's brother Luffy, fighting for Fishman Island, which brought a smile to his face. He saw him fight Shiki, Byrnndi World, former admiral Z, Linlin, that Doflammingo brat and his family, Kaido's beast pirates, besting Fleet Admiral Akainu and Teach, claiming One Piece and bringing the fight to the World Government, just as he predicted. "Gurarara, seems like the kid's got some balls on him, don't he Roger?"

Roger grinned and nodded, "Keep looking, beyond our time of pirates and marines."
Newgate did so, finding a world at peace. No world government, instead they were splintered into different nations with their own governments, people with extraordinary powers not unlike those given by a devil fruit. A world of people with powers, some becoming heroes and some becoming villains, all from a single newborn child having the ability to emanate light from themselves, not too far off from Admiral Kizaru's Pika-Pika no Mi, but as if it was a paramecia devil fruit instead.

"What is this Roger? Our future, when the world moves on from our sins?" Roger nodded softly, "Fascinating world, isn't it Newgate? The devil fruits all disappeared 50 years after Luffy claimed One Piece, people started to call them meta powers, or quirks."
Whitebeard nodded, slightly impressed but a thought came to his mind that made him raise an eyebrow. "Why are you showing me this Roger? Last I checked Kozuki Toki still had the Toki-Toki no Mi."

Roger sighed softly. "See, here's where things get complicated." He shows an image of a green haired boy who is being bullied by other kids, which enflames Whitebeard's anger. Not many knew, as Newgate was an old man now, but when he was a child, he was bullied as well, much like Linlin. "This is Izuku Midoriya, he was born quirkless and he's being picked on for it. There's more, before you say anything. His mother does everything in her power to provide for him since his father left him because he saw it as a waste for his kid not to have a quirk." The very ground they stood on, even in heaven, quaked from Whitebeard's anger.

"I'm going there, the kid reminds me too much of myself." Whitebeard said, to which Roger nodded and grinned. "Thought you'd say that, hence why the fates are willing to send you there, since you are such a family man and all. The only other person they would've sent would be my apprentice, Shanks, since he raised Luffy to be the person he is now, but we both know what would happen if he was sent."

Newgate nodded grimly, he himself knew of Shanks's vices of heavy drinking and flirting with pretty women. From what he saw, the Midoriya matriarch was a beautiful woman and he knew without a doubt that Shanks would hit on her constantly, more than being a help with young Izuku.

"The catch" Roger started, making Newgate pay attention, "is that you'll be reverted to his age. You'll be an orphan again" Roger noticed the grimace that faintly crossed Newgate's face but continued. "but you'll have your memories sealed away. Your Gura-Gura no Mi will not be a devil fruit, but it will be your quirk. In this world, there is a madman named "All for One" whose power is to steal quirks and make them his own, much like how Teach did to your Gura-Gura. You can feel it yourself, can't you? It's weaker than what it normally is."

Newgate flexed his hand, he still felt strong, but he did feel that his Quake fruit powers were weakened to an extent. "He'll unintentionally send someone to fight the school you'll be going to, who will reawaken your lost memories and fully awaken your quake powers."

Newgate narrowed his eyes but nodded. "Then let's go, send me back so that I can help this kid." Roger nodded and looked up. "He's accepted the agreement and is ready! Send him to the future!"

Musutafu, Japan

Edward Newgate yawned softly, waking up from his bed in the orphanage. As the oldest there, he took it upon himself to be the big brother of the others, to be the guiding star in their lives. He was picked for adoption many times, but refused, stating that while he would appreciate having parents, he didn't want to lose the family he had at said orphanage.

One day, while playing with the others, he learned that he had a quirk. He had accidentally caused an earthquake in Musutafu, one that read 4.7 on the Richter Scales. The other kids looked up to him even more after that day, stating that "Big Bro Eddie was so cool for having a quirk like All Might!" to which he just chuckled about. Being the responsible one at 12 years of age, it gave him a lot of freedom to do as he pleased, as long as he came back for curfew. He was starting school at Aldera Junior High with plans to go to U.A. high school. Newgate was also quite tall for his age, already at standing at six feet tall and was quite muscular, but not overly muscular.

Currently he was on his way to Aldera as he saw two boys, about his age, maybe a few months older than him walking alongside him to the school.

"Come on Kaachan, we're going to be late!" "Tsk, we'll be fine Deku. We're making good time."

Newgate raised his eyebrow at the conversation. "Excuse me guys, are you two heading to Aldera Junior High?" The one called Deku nodded excitedly. "Yes, we are! Are you on your way there too!"

Newgate smiled softly and nodded. "I am, Edward Newgate, my siblings at the orphanage call me Eddie." He says, holding his hand out for handshake, which Deku accepts eagerly. "I'm Izuku Midoriya! My best friend here is Katsuki Bakugo!"

The now named Bakugo scoffed, "That's enough Deku, he's an extra, just like you nerd." The comment made Newgate's eyes narrow. "Bakugo was it? What is your dream? I have the feeling that by your comment you have a quirk, on top of that, the arrogance and pride you reek of because of said quirk."

Bakugo scowled, "Yeah what of it? My quirk is explosion, and my dream? I'm aiming to be a great hero, better than All Might and Endeavor!" Newgate chuckled softly, "A noble goal, but do be warned. There are challenges and villains that even they need help with, and every now and then, heroes do team-up. So will the villains." He smirks, "Just be careful not to blow up all the bridges you make on your way there." He started laughing as Bakugo has a furious expression on his face.

"Why you!" He went to ignite his hand but stopped, trembling slightly under Newgate's fierce gaze.

"Just because you bully Izuku here, and don't think anyone else hasn't noticed it" Bakugo flinched slightly. "you're not the strongest, nor will be. As you are right now, and take this as a learning curve, there is always someone stronger. You're wondering why an "extra" in your words is talking to you like this? Your quirk is explosion, a destructive one, but mine…... Mine is even more destructive than yours. That is why I constantly train to keep mine under control."

Newgate smirked proudly. "My quirk is impactful, something that no one can ignore. The power of Quakes, moving the very earth under our feet and causing the buildings to topple over if I'm not in full control of it." He continued talking, not realizing there were a few heroes watching him. "My dream, Bakugo, is to keep my family safe. To have a family. I'm an orphan, but I'm the oldest one at the orphanage. They look up to me there, to nurture them and to help them grow into their own people."

Some of the heroes that were watching smirked slightly in pride, while Izuku's eyes watered in awe. Bakugo was silent as he looked away, he wouldn't admit it, but that was a way better reason to be a hero than his.

4 years later (Newgate, Izuku and Bakugo ages: 16) same start up as canon so going to the Entrance Exam

Newgate smirked softly, eager to get started. Him, Izuku and Bakugo were all waiting for the entrance exams to UA High School to start, all three being the ones from their class to attempt it. The years had been kind to all three boys, they had all grown taller, more muscular, especially in the case of Edward Newgate. He now stood at 7 feet, 2 inches tall, easily towering over the other kids attempting the exam. He had taken up a Bo-staff, made from a special wood that allowed him to channel his quirk through to help control his powers. It was a gift from All Might, who wanted to thank Edward for inspiring Izuku even more to becoming a hero and giving it his all. He had tied a black bandana around his head, unintentionally mimicking his past life in wearing one as he had a free-flowing jacket and some brown track pants with a sash tied around it.

"Gurararara, I hope your training has paid off Izuku. I'd hate to leave you in the dust!" Newgate said good natured as he pat Izuku on the back softly, but even with his training from All Might Izuku nearly fell to the ground from Edward's strength.

"Oh, I've been working hard Eddie! I won't be left behind! I'm going to give it my all and make it to UA!" Izuku exclaimed with a fist pump, causing Edward to laugh wholeheartedly.

"Good! I hope you and Katsuki can keep up! Things are changing, and we have to prove that we're even better than the last generation!" Edward laughed, his signature bellow frightening those who didn't know of his "quirky" laughter. Knowing how close Edward was to the dot on inheriting, Izuku just nodded, chuckling slightly as he rubbed the back of his head in nervousness.

Newgate calmed down and smiled. "Eh, Izuku."

Izuku looked to him. "Yes, Eddie?"

Edward smiled and held his fist out for a fist bump. "Do your best, I'll see you at UA right?"

Izuku teared up and nodded eagerly, fist bumping Edward's larger hand. "Oh yeah!"

Edward watched as the timer for the exam start lowered, until it finally hit zero as the gates opened, and the exams started. He raised his staff up in the air and shouted, with wind gusting around him. "Let's do this!"

And with that, the entrance exams to UA High School had begun. What laid in store for the tryout students? We shall soon see!

Meanwhile, in a blackened room, a lone eye opened. "And you're certain of this?" The deep voice asked, the henchman nodding and kneeling in front of him. The dark figure just chuckled lowly. "Edward Newgate, you've returned again huh?" The henchman screamed as he was sucked into the dark abyss. "It's been a long time; I wonder if you'll be a match now!"
