Sooooo...everday isn't going to work XD but that's ok! At least once a week will definitely happen though! I see there's people actually reading this hurray! Let me tell you this chapter right here is a long one. Every chapter moving forward will probably be long.
Also, I'm a manga reader so i will warn all anime onlys as we go along i might add a few characters that get introduced in Elbaf or add some newly aquired facts and explanations to the story.
Speaking of adding things, j will be adding some made up scenes and headcanons. As for romance feel free to interpret whatever you like but ill only be blantant with the relationships Oda is blantant with. Do try and point out my ships though!
Disclaimer: I am not a multi-millionaire mangaka as much as i'd want to be...
Usopp is well acquainted with self-loathing, but he's never felt it as bad as he did now. While he was on an island paradise straight from Luffy's dreams, bingeing on food, his best friend was fighting a literal war. All the Strawhats were thinking along the same line. Luffy was always there when they needed him most but when it was their turn to be there for him, they were no where to be found.
They stood next to each other, finally reunited, and glanced at each other, making sure they were alright. Robin was dressed in some weird uniform but seemed okay. Usopp looked like he gained 20 pounds. Zoro was the one who garnered concerned looks. Just as he had healed from Mihawk's devastating blow in the East Blue, whatever happened on Thriller Bark set him all the way back. Zoro's glare at their concered looks did nothing to quell them, but they took him standing as a good sign.
Luffy finally began to notice Ace's comforting as his crying quieted down to hiccups. "You broke your promise Ace!" Ace grimaced but only held on to Luffy tighter. "I know. But i would do it again if it meant saving you. You're my baby brother. Its a big brother's job to protect the little one, even at the cost of death." Luffy buried his face into Ace's chest, but didn't restart his sobbing.
Though one man in the back of the room was inconsolable. He was having full body shivers, heaving with silent sobs. He grabbed his chest where his heart is, as if doing so would stop the feeling of it contracting painfully. His friends called for him, asking him what was wrong but Sabo didn't know what was wrong himself. All he knew was hearing that pirate grieve was pure agony.
"ZEHAHAHA! How pathetic!" The tender moment was ruined by none other than Marshall D. Teach. "TEACH!" The Whitebeard Pirates took a hold of their weapons...or at least they would of if they had them. "My sword? What happened to it?" "Is this another part if your plan marines?" The marines retaliated, "our plan? It was you rotten pirates that placed us here and stole our weapons!" And so the cacophony of noise returns.
Ace's only focus, however, was protecting Luffy from Blackbeard's gaze. His focus did shift for a moment when his gaze caught on a man who seemed to be sobbing just as bad as Luffy was. But just for a moment, then he glared at Blackbeard. Blackbeard laughed at the fierceness of Ace's glare. Before Ace could say anything his view was blocked by the other commanders.
"Shut the fuck up Teach!" Haruta screamed. "Why should I? So you can watch your precious Ace get turned into a donut because of how weak he is? Pathetic! Both him and Whitebeard!" The commanders tried to pounce at him but were immediately held back by some invisible force. "Why can't we move-yoi?" "We moved earlier why can't we move now?" Izo added.
Trafalger Law noticed the same thing happen to him. As soon as he laid eyes on Doflamingo's infuriating permanent smile, he tried to attack but found that he couldn't move an inch. Akainu had a taste of the invisible force too when he tried recreating his last move in Marineford.
Just then, the walls all lit up with images of a laboratory. The images looked three dimensional made it seem as if they were transported. They knew they weren't because a nameless marine (same doofus from earlier) tried sitting on a table and fell straight through the image and right on his ass. In fact, serveral of the marines tried that. Some even tried exploring only to walk straight into walls. Sengoku sighed at the stupidity. These were the men he sent to fight a war? Retirement sounds heavenly right about now.
This lab seems familiar, Monkey D. Dragon thinks to himself. Just then a woman with wild ginger hair and purple eyes walked towards the group. She had on an antenna on one ear and wore a jumpsuit that hugged her curves coupled with a puffer jacket. Ah, I see. Dragon recognized the woman. Sabo, who has finally collected himself looked at his leader, wordlessly asking what he just figured out. Dragon did not answer. "Who are you? Did you bring me here? Life or Death?" But the woman didn't andwer Big Mom. "Greetings! Guess you all are wondering how you got here and why."
Big Mom, furious at the woman seemingly ignoring her tried to attack but her fist went straight through and she lost her balance. Charlotte Linlin resembled a bowling ball the way she went rolling away into the nearest wall. "MAMA!!" Her children ran after her.
Sanji, with heart in eyes, was being restrained and gagged by Robin's devil fruit. "Honestly Sanji have some shame will you!" Usopp said burying his face in the palm of his hand. "Only shame he has is his cooking." At the jibe Sanji glared at Zoro. "Shut ip you shitty mosshead!" Upon hearing the familiar bickering Luffy turned away from Ace's chest. His eyes watered with unshed tears. "YOU GUYS!"
He leaped towards Zoro who instinctively caught him. The crew immediately surrounded them. "Luffy!" "Luffy are you hurt? Call a doctor!" "You've been getting into trouble again, haven't you shitty captain?" Luffy wrapped his arm around all them three times in a tight embrace and let out a small laugh. Ace, who wasn't ready to let go of Luffy, hovered closed to them. In the back of the room, Sabo grabbed his head, as a sudden pain shot through it.
The woman spoke again. "The answer is..SCIENCE! Science so advanced, it's practically magic! I tried to program it to steal all your valuables while you're in here but i ended up taking the weapons instead. What a bummer! It could've funded my research!" This caused an uproar and many people, both marines and pirates, tried attacking her and many ended up bowling balls hiting strikes like Big Mom.
Sanji swooned. "Marry me!" "Shishishi! I like her! Hey, Mystery Girl! Join my-" All the Strawhats turned to Luffy with shark teeth "OH NO YOU DON'T!" Meanwhile everyone else sweat drops. But the girl isn't real...Shanks lets out a bellowing laugh at Anchor's antics.
The mystery girl spoke again. "As am sure you've found out, everything you see, including me, is a hologram. I wish i could've seen you idiots trying to attack me!" Those who attacked blushed something fierce and grumbled under their breath, as there was nothing else they could do. "Almost as much as i wish to have seen you morons try and attack esch other!" "Seriuosly, this lady is rude!" Haruta screamed.
Everyone quited down to hear the girl explain the invisible force. She crossed two fingers in a 'x' formation. "This is a no fight zone! Try to move with murderous intent and you'll find yourself paralyzed!" "Isn't she way too happy?!" said Helmeppo shaking Coby by his shoulders. Coby was still out if it from seeing luffy's grief. It gave him an unrelenting piercing headache. "Fufufu! That sounds like an interesting weapon!" Doflamingo spoke. Law's eye twitched.
"So! On to why you're here! It's simple. The world is shit! Of course it gets better but not before some really shitty shit happens!" "Young lady that is a foul mouth you got there" Aokiji said thinking of ways to ask her on dates. "I think she curses more than Sanji," Nami sweat dropped and the other Strawhats nodded in agreement. "Sounds like i did as a kid!" Ace said before he could think about it. The Whitebeards immediately teased him while the Strawhats were in disbelief refusing to believe that the polite Ace had such a mouth as a kid. Meanwhile Dragon, Garp, and Sengoku glance at each other, all of them understanding that this meant war on a much bigger scale than Marineford.
"The core people who bring about this change are in here. Also people who got their asses kicked and i really wanted them to see it themselves! Anyways! We'll be following through the memories of one of the core people in hopes that we can bring about the change earlier and with less casualties..." There was a long silence. "...Enjoy!" Everyone fell on their backs. That's it?! Who are you?!" "You didnt even tell them who you are" a familiar voice said in the background. "Oh right! I'm Vegapunk!" Everyone, who just got back on their feet, fell on their backs again. NO WAY! Vinsmoke Judge furrowed his eyebrows as he took in the person claiming to be his ex partner. This definitely was some deplorable shit he'd do. "Well I'm a Vegapunk. One out of seven actually! Wait does it count as seven if my original main body is dead? Oh whatever you'll see it all in Luffy's memories anyway!"
Revelation after revelation left everyone shocked. Most people were stuck on the reveal of the elusive smartest man (or is it woman?) alive. Ace, being the bro-con he is, was stuck on the part about Luffy. "Wait she said we'd be viewing Luffy's memories?" Sabo asked involuntarily. Eyes snapped to him and he cringed as he called unwanted attention to him and his group. "IS THAT DRAGON?!"
Uproar restarted as some marines burst into tears. They had just barely survived war with Whitebeard and his allies and now they were stuck with them, the rest of the Emperors and their crew, Blackbeard who probably betrayed them, the overpowered rookies dubbed the supernovas, some scary looking giant dog and cat, some samurai looking people, AND THE FUCKING REVOLUTIONARY ARMY?!?! The poor marines were ready for retirement even though they were just recruited a month ago. "Dragon? That unfilial son!" Garp said at the same Luffy said "Oh my dad's here?" The sobbing got harder and the revolutionaries joined the uproar. Shanks eye twitched at Luffy calling Dragon his father.
Jinbei's eyes were caught on the familiar looking girl beside Sabo. Ace's eyes were caught on Sabo. So he focused on Luffy too? Wasn't he crying earlier too? What's his obsession with Luffy?" Ace felt a fierce overprotectiveness rush over him and he blocked Luffy from the crying stranger's sight. Sabo bristled at the move. The pain in his head got sharper.
Doflamingo reveled in the chaos. The supernovas had their curiosity peaked. The wanted to see what shaped their insane rival they saw on Sabaody. Mihawk was tuned in as well, though he was debating moving away from the over excited Shanks he was standing next to. "Silence already!" Sengoku yelled, a vein on his forehead ready to burst. "Pay attention! Look for weaknesses and key events to stop this pirate's journey!" The marines finally sobered up and stopped crying.
"Shishishi! We're gonna meet each other again!" Luffy said. He had moved back into Ace's arms but was boxed in closely with his crew on his right and Ace's on his left. "We're also goimg to see the future. I hope this doesn't rip a hole in the space-time continuum and sucks all of this reality into a black endless void for all eternity." Robin said with the sweetest smile on her face. "ROBIN DONT BE SO SCARY!" The Strawhats cried. "Wait future? STOP THIS THING! I WON'T GO ON A BORING ADVENTURE!"
Luffy began struggling out of Ace's hold. "It won't be the same adventure. I'd be a whole new one! You won't do the same thing and we won't see every single place I'm sure!" Sabo said. Luffy looked at him. That guy seemed so familiar. And he knew just what to say to calm him down. "I guess you're right." Just as Luffy stopped struggling a new holographic image appeared. It looked as if they were standing on top of the ocean. There was an island in the distance. "It's the village!" Luffy said smiling. And so it begins...
