CHAPTER 1

Luffy sat on top of the lion looking far at the sea in front of the Rusukaina island. His hat flapping softly on his back. He would be leaving the island soon back to Sabaody. Back to Sunny. Back to his nakamas.

He remembered how they ended up separated 2 years ago. He had failed as a captain. He had let his nakama disappeared in front of his eyes. That was a nightmare to him and all his nakama.

That's why when Rayleigh proposed to help him getting stronger, he accepted. With the help of Rayleigh who had the knowledge of his nakama's whereabout courtesy to the bear-like guy who separated them, all of them get his message to met up at Sabaody in 2 years.

2 years had passed and he was far more stronger than he was before. He's sure his nakama would too.

"It's been 2 years. I cant wait to see them again. Then we'll enter New World and meet Ace and his nakama there"he said smiling. The lion growled softly.

"Let's go, Lion. They must be waiting for me already" he said and the lion start walking into the forest to the other side of the island where the Kuja pirates must had arrived.

"Luffy! There you are. Hurry, Hebihime-sama had something to tell you"somewhere in the middle of the jungle,Margaret appeared and ushered him to go faster. Luffy look at her confused but he still told her to get on the lion and tell the lion to go faster.

"Luffy!"Boa Hancock stop from pacing around when Luffy arrived.

"Oh Hancock, what's wrong?I'm all ready to go"Luffy said cheerfully as ever.

"Luffy, you said before that you have other brother except Sabo right"Hancock ask. She knew about Sabo being Luffy's brother.

"Um, Ace. Why?"

"Portgas D. Ace?Fire Fist Ace?"she asked again.

"Yeah. He's my older brother. I wonder how he is now"Luffy grinned. Hancock hesitated.

"Luffy, a battleship was sent to take me to the Marineford. They're waiting for me"she said. Luffy looked up at her.

"Eh? Isnt we supposed to go to Sabaody now? And why would the Marine need Sichibukai at the Marineford?"Luffy tilted his head confused.

"The marines are preparing for a war. The admirals, vice-admirals and Sichibukais will all be there"

"Ji-chan will be there too, then. But, war? With who?"

"Whitebeard"Hancock said and Luffy straighten up.

"Whitebeard? That was Ace's captain. Why would the marines have a war with them?"he asked. Hancock stared at him for a while before closing her eyes.

"One of his commander was captured and will be execute a week from now"she said opening back her eyes looking at Luffy who grow even more confused.

"I'm sorry to tell you this but Ace was captured a month ago and sentenced to execution"she said and Luffy's eyes widened.

"Liar. Ace is strong. He wouldn't get captured by marines"he shake his head.

"He's not captured by marines. One of his former subordinate, Marshall D. Teach or known as Blackbeard, hand him in to the marines. And he was appointed as a Sichibukai for handing him in"Hancock explained.

"Blackbeard. Ace was going after this guy 2 years ago"Luffy said.

"I have to save him"he said determined."Where is he now?"

"He should be in Impel Down"Hancock said. Luffy look down lost in thought.

"I can take you with me to Impel Down if you want to save him"Hancock said after a long time.

"You said the marines was preparing for a war with Whitebeard right"Luffy said with his head still hung low.

"Yes, it was confirmed that Whitebeard will surely come. He wouldn't let his son die"she said and Luffy lift up his head.

"You should go. The marines would get suspicious if you make them wait for too long"he said.

"But how are you gonna save Ace?"Elder Nyon asked.

"I really wanted to save him but breaking into Impel Down would be troublesome. I'll just join Whitebeard on that day"Luffy said letting out a grin. He take out Ace's vivre card from his pocket and watch as it burns slowly. He forgot about the vicre card.

"At least I know he's still alive"he whispered.

"How are you gonna get there? The Gate of Justice wouldn't let any ship other than battleship enter"Hancock said. Luffy look up at the mountain and grin widely.

"I have my way"he said.

"Oh, I have to call Rayleigh to tell my nakama that I'll be late. Can I have a Den Den Mushi?"he looked back at the Kuja pirates.

"Margaret, take Luffy to the Den Den Mushi room"Hancock said to Margaret.

"Yes, Hebihime-sama. Let's go, Luffy"Margaret said and they went into the ship.

Just as they entered the room, one of the Den Den Mushi rang. Margaret quickly pick it up.

"Moshi-moshi"she answered. Luffy keep quiet beside her in case it was marine who called.

"Margaret? Can you have Luffy for me?"Rayleigh's voice beamed.

"Rayleigh!"Luffy said happily.

"We were just about to call you, Rayleigh-san"Margaret said.

"Luffy, where are you now?"Rayleigh asked slightly hurried.

"I'm still in Rusukaina. Rayleigh, are my nakama there?"Luffy said.

"They are all here"Rayleigh said and a group of voice heard.

"Luffy/Luffy-san!"Luffy beamed at his nakama's voices.

"Minna"he almost tear up.

"Luffy, I called you about Ace"Rayleigh said.

"I know. Hancock told me about it"Luffy said wiping the corner of his eyes.

"What are you going to do?"Sanji's voice said.

"I want to save him"Luffy said confidently.

"And how are you going to save him?Break into Impel Down?"Zoro said.

"Oi. I'm not that reckless anymore. I've changed"Luffy defended.

"Hai, hai. And you'll be the first to jump down into adventure"Nami said and Luffy laugh fullheartedly. After a while, he calmed down.

"I'll join Whitebeard that day"he said and a series of gasp heard.

"Whitebeard?"Rayleigh asked.

"Um. It was confirmed that Whitebeard will come and it will be a war. Hancock had been scouted to the Marineford"

"Hancock? As in Boa Hancock? The Sichibukai?"Robin asked.

"Um"Luffy said.

"Do you know her, Robin?"Franky asked.

"Yes. She was said to be the most beautiful woman and called the pirate empress"Robin said.

"Yeah, she's my friend. And the Kuja pirates too"Luffy said and Margaret smiled beside him.

"Kuja Pirate?"Chopper asked.

"The all-women pirates"Robin said.

"Nani? Oi Luffy! You're friend with the most beautiful woman and the all-woman pirates?!You basta-"

"Urusai-yo!"Nami's angry voice said and a thud heard. Luffy laugh at his friends antic.

"So minna, looks like we have to postpone our adventure to New World. Wait for me"he said after a while.

"Hah?? Are you saying you're going alone?"Zoro ask. Luffy laugh.

"Then minna, wanna have a warm up before we enter New World?"he said still laughing.

"Chotto, Luffy~"Nami said.

"Suddenly, I have this I-cant-enter-the-war disease"Usopp said.

"Daijobu ka na?"Chopper's voice heard next. Luffy laugh at them.

"Oi Luffy, are you sure about this? All marines all around the world will be there. The Sichibukais, admirals and vice-admirals will be there too"Rayleigh said.

"Daijobu, Rayleigh. I'm sure they've become stronger"Luffy laugh.

Silent.

"Saying like that wont make me the least happy, you bastard~"Chopper suddenly said. Luffy laugh at the image the Den Den Mushi showed as Chopper talked.

"Aww Luffy. You're right about me"Nami said.

"Captain Usopp! Ready at your service, sir!"Usopp's voice beamed.

Luffy laughed.

"Huh. Bring it on"Zoro said and a clank heard.

"Heh. My leg need warm up actually"Sanji said a bit away. "And I can meet that Sichibukai too"a thud heard.

"I'm SUPEER ready"

"Yohohohoho. I missed you, Luffy-san"

"It would be fun. He would want to come too, Luffy. He's in the island now"Robin said.

"Bring him Robin"Luffy said laughing.

"You've just gathered and you already want to seek trouble"Rayleigh sigh with Shakky giggling behind.

"As expected, Monkey-chan"

"See you there then, Luffy"Zoro said.

"How are you gonna get there? Hancock said that the Gate of Justice wont open for any ship"Luffy said.

"That's right. I forgot about the Gate of Justice"Rayleigh said.

"Oh. Leave it to me. I'll take us to the Marineford without using the Gate of Justice"Chopper said.

"I'll leave it to then, Chopper. Minna, see you there"Luffy said and hung up.

"It's good, Luffy. You wont be alone"Margaret said as they went outside. Luffy laughed.

"How is it?"Hancock asked.

"My crew was already there"Luffy said.

"That's good. Luffy, I need to go now"Hancock said.

"Um. See you, Hancock"Luffy said and the Kuja pirates raised the anchor.

"See you again, Luffy"they waved to the boy who wave happily at them. The lion sitting loyally beside him.

"Now, lion. Shall we search for the big bird then?"he said as they walked into the forest. The lion roared.

A week later

"Good to see you again, Sengoku"Whitebeard said looking up at the scaffold where the fleet admiral stand with Ace kneeling beside him.

"Greetings, Whitebeard"Sengoku said to the speaker.

"Gurararara. Ace my son. Are you alive?"the big man said.

"Oyaji"Ace look at the old man sadly.

"What are you waiting for? Attack and dont let them enter the plaza"Sengoku said.

"Get loose, my sons"Whitebeard said and the pirates roared rushing forward. Pirates and marines alike fight on the ice where Aokiji had turned the sea water into ice.

The war continues as Whitebeard stand on the Moby Dick watching his sons fight. Ace watched as his brothers fighting to save him.

"I'll see it if you can save him, Whitebeard"Sengoku said.

"Gurarararara. I'll save him, Sengoku"

"Why do you want to save your rival's son? Gol D. Ace! Gold Roger's son!"Sengoku roared. The fact surprised everyone but the fights continues nonetheless.

"You cannot put one's sin to their son, Sengoku. And Ace is now one of my sons. I'll save my son at any cost"Whitebeard said.

"I know your motive, Whitebeard. You plan to search for the One Piece and make Gol D. Ace the next Pirate King"Sengoku said.

"Oiiiii. I'm sorry to interupt but the one who will become the Pirate King is"suddenly a voice shouted as a large shadow approaching.The marines gaped as a big bird fly above them. A blur of red jumped off from it and landed between them. Suddenly a rubbery leg cleared the marines giving the newcomer quite a large space.

"Me!"Luffy continued as he stand up and laughed with his hands on his hips.

"Arigato na, Big Bird"he shouted as the shadow disappearing.

"Luffy. Looks like he had tamed another monster of Rusukaina"Hancock said fondly looking at Luffy.

Ace and Garp widened their eyes at the sight of Luffy.

"LUFFY!!"Both shouted.

"Oh, Ace! I've come to save you!"Luffy shouted grinning. All movement halted.

"Mugiwara no Luffy"Sengoku called. Luffy look at him for a while before picking his nose.

"Who are you?"he asked lazily. The marines sweetdropped.

"I'm the fleet admiral, Sengoku. I'm sure Garp must have talk about me"Sengoku said.

Silent.

Silent.

Luffy stared and stared at the fleet admiral still picking his nose. The others hold their breath.

"Oh. Are you perhaps Senny?"finally Luffy said. Sengoku turn to Garp red in embarassment and anger.

"Garp! You use my nickname talking to your grandson?"he said. Garp was still gaping at Luffy.

"What is this? I thought this Senny would be a beautiful girl. Why dont you change your name, old man?"Luffy said again earning a stuffled laugh from the marines.

"Gurararara. You're one funny boy, brat. I figured you know Ace"Whitebeard laughed looking at Luffy.

"He's the little brother Ace always talk about, yoi"Marco said landing next to his father.

Luffy turned and this time he stared at Whitebeard but without picking his nose.

"Oh. You must be Ace's adoptive father. I wont call you father just because my brother called you so"he said and Whitebeard laughed.

"Luffy! What are you doing here? Go home, Lufyy. A weakling like you wanted to save me? Dont make me laugh!"Ace suddenly shouted and Luffy looked up at the scaffold.

"Dont be an idiot, Ace! I've spend 2 years to train so I can became stronger to protect those dear to me. If I cant save my idiot brother now, what would I spend the 2 years for?!"he shouted. The marines start whispering.

"Brother? Gold Roger have 2 son?"

"Dont get fooled! Gold Roger has only one son, Gol D. Ace. Mugiwara no Luffy is the son of the Revolutionary, Monkey D. Dragon"Sengoku said. Luffy laughed.

"I like my dad! He's cool"he shouted. He had met Dragon when the revolutionary gave him a visit at the Rusukaina. Turn out the bear-like guy was his former subordinate and told him his whereabout.

"You voluntarily come to get killed, brat"Akainu said from his seat. Luffy stared at him. Then, he grinned.

"We'll see about that, Cold-faced ossan"he said. Akainu's frown deeper and make his way to stand but stopped by Kizaru.

"Let's see first. It's been 2 years. He must had become stronger than before"Kizaru said and Akainu sit back folding his hands over his chest.

"Oi brat, I know you want to save your brother. But do you know who are you facing and how many of them?"Whitebeard said. Luffy grinned and start stretching.

"I've faced Enies Lobby along with Buster Call without dying. I'm sure it wont be any different"he said.

"Enies Lobby?"

"He's the crazy pirate who raided Enies Lobby just to rescue a nakama, oyaji-yoi"Marco said beside Whitebeard.

"Gurarararara. It cannot be compared to the amount of marines today, brat. There's countless number of strong enemy. Are you saying you're going to save your brother alone?"the strongest man in the world said.

"Yohohohoho"a voice rang throughout the battle field. Everyone look up at the sky as a group of giant bird approaching. The marines's jaw dropped. First, Whitebeard, then one of the worst generation, what is this next? They just expected Whitebeard to show up.

Luffy smirked as the birds approached him and caused a strong wind. The marines around him shielded their eyes. When they refocused their vision, a huge dust was behind the rookie.

"Whoever said I'm alone"

How is it,minna-sama?This is my first time writing a OP's fanfic..As you can see, I am actually a Prince of Tennis's fan based on my username..I actually knew about One Piece many years ago but I never take a better look at it. I just give it a glance..Then recently, my siblings pull me toward the anime and I took 1 week to finish the series until the recent episodes (Fortunately I'm on holiday)..

So, how my first chapter?I tried imagining the characters's personality..It wont be long..Maybe 3-4 chapters only..I just want Ace to be alive..I really cried hard during Ace's death..
