Everyone! Calm down! As I told someone else before, I meant Nakamaship! Calm your tits man! I do need some ships! Who do you want to ship? Give me what you like and I'll work with it! And as I said, Nakamaship! NAKAMA!

I mean, Zoro misses his best friend guys. He needs Sanji to come back.

Update:

I know ships that I want and which I will do. So here are the certain ones;

Zoro x Tashigi

Robin x Franky

Luffy x Hancock

Sanji x Nami

Chopper x Milky (Reindeer Mink)

Brook x No One

Ussop x Kaya

Update:

I have posted this fourth Chapter! It is short, I know. But it has information that doesn't really sit well with the story line. So I just used the background moment to fit it all. I hope you enjoy it and get a grasp on the story a bit. It's hard on the crew, hard on me and my fingers are bleeding. Bye!

Episode 4, Luffy's Past! Enter Red-Haired Shanks!

Wealth, fame, power. One man had acquired all these worldly things: The Pirate King, Gold Roger. His final words before he was executed sent all the people of the world out to sea.

"Mu treasure?"

"If you want it, you can have it!"

"Go find it! I left it all there!"

Men everywhere head towards the Grand Line to chase their dreams. The world has unquestionably entered the Great Age Of Pirates!

"So?" Nami asked.

Luffy looked up at her from his spot on the figure head of the tiny boat. "What?" he asked dumbly.

Nami shook her head with a sigh. "I should get on the other boat and try getting those three on my path, or don't you want that?" she asked.

Luffy turned and pouted. "If it'll help, then sure."

Zoro opened his eyes and sat up from his napping spot. "Maybe we should do it together, just go to the island I mean."

Nami pursed her lips. "We could do that, but who knows what's gonna happen if we do?"

Luffy snorted. "But what about the adventure! We should make it a little different at least, or we'll see nothing new. That's boring!"

Nami's face broke into a smile. "Alright, if we don't have any new adventures it'll be boring indeed, but we should watch out. Do you remember what Roger told you? Zoro told me some of it."

Luffy nodded. "Chance too little and it might kill you, change too much and it might as well."

Nami nodded her head and Zoro looked stern.

"We do gotta catch that dumb bird though," Luffy suddenly said.

Nami frowned and Zoro could barely hold his laugh. It was just too funny.

"I'm hungry!" Luffy whined.

Nami growled the moment they sky cracked with thunder and rained down on them.

o-o-o

"Take me with you Shanks!" young Luffy declared.

Shanks grinned and turned to him. "No way, your too young and too stupid!" he laughed.

His crew began to laugh as well and Luffy pouted. "That's mean! I can be a pirate! I'll show you!" he screamed.

Shanks laughed harder and placed a juice glass in front of Luffy. "Here have some juice," he snickered.

Luffy's face lit up and he gripped the juice with both hands. "Wouw! Thanks Shanks!" he declared and took a sip.

Shanks burst out laughing and slapped his knee. His crew couldn't help but laugh as well and Shanks doubled over, wheezing in air.

"I don't know one pirate who drinks juice you idiot!" he yelped in glee.

Luffy gaped. "You tricked me!" he whined.

Shanks laughed harder and gasped for air. Suddenly, the door to the bar flew open and in came a bunch of men. Their leader had a cocky look on his face and strolled up to the bar.

"We want to drink something," he stated as he looked at Makino.

The bar owner smiled softly. "I'm sorry gentlemen, but we are fresh out of booze I'm afraid."

All hell broke loose. And of course, we all know how the rest of it goes...

"You have lost a great deal, Pirate King," Roger said softly.

Zoro's head shot up and Luffy's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.

"How are you here?" Zoro asked carefully.

Roger smiled a bit. "I chose to haunt the one piece for the right King to take it. I see now that it was the right choice to make. You have suffered a lot, have you not?" he asked.

Zoro glared, it was true. He shot a glance at his surrounding and found Sanji's unconscious form not far from them. His best friend had fought to the end, until one of his legs broke.

"What can you do about it?" Zoro asked as he cradled Luffy's broken form to his own battered body.

Roger grinned at them then, "I can send you back in time to fix your mistakes. But beware, it comes with a great deal of danger."

Luffy's body tensed against his and Zoro was tempted to say no. They had suffered enough for a lifetime.

"I accept," Luffy said quietly.

Zoro looked down at him, shocked. "What! But-"

Luffy cut him off with a glare. "No, Zoro. We need this. I can't be Pirate King without my family and you all need to see your dreams come true. Please, Kaizoukuo, do it," he said.

Roger's smile widened and he held up his hands. "A second chance is given, but with hardship. Change too much and it might kill you, change too little and it might kill you as well. Three will go back, the rest must be retrieved. But beware, the third will be the hardest, for that one has suffered a great deal. Beware, Monkey D. Luffy, for you may lose your friends to something else than death. Good luck, find the One Piece and save your Nakama, Pirate King."

Zoro's vision filled with light and he heard Sanji's scream just before he passed out. Not knowing what had happened to him, he fell into the arms of blackness.

When he woke up, he found himself somewhere in the woods. He needed to know where he was. Sprinting up, away from that spot, he felt his powers spike suddenly and tumbled down as all his senses cleared.

He could feel the world, younger than it had been before. He felt out of place, out of time. It had worked! Roger had send them back in time! Zoro scrambled to his feet and took off in a sprint. His feet brought him to a store and he immediately noticed the long green coat he had been so fond of. Without thinking, he nabbed it, paid for it and shot off to find his next goal.

The Baratie.

He opened the door's to the restaurant and the interior fell silent. Zoro grinned, he liked this place. He strolled inside and took a seat at a table. A man came up to him with a dumb smile on his face.

"Hello sir! What can I get you?" he asked, sickly sweet.

Zoro didn't hesitate to answer. "Anything that isn't too sweet and it has to be made by your stupid blonde cook with the curlicue on his face." He said this all with a massive grin spreading across his face.

The waiter's face faltered for a second, before he snorted and took off to the kitchen.

"OI Sanji! There's an idiot customer for you," the man yelled as he disappeared.

Zoro snorted, much to the surprise of a few guests. They avoided his gaze for the time he was there, and he didn't mind. Sanji came to him as asked, scowling and grumbling.

"What do you want, bastard!" he growled.

Zoro could feel his powerful aura lingering inside his body, ready to burst out.

"I just want to confirm something," he stated.

Sanji rose his brow. "And what would that be?" he snarked.

Zoro grinned. "You remember me?" he asked.

When Sanji didn't answer, Zoro grew worried. He looked over to the chef to see him having an inner turmoil. Zoro sat a little straighter and watched the cook carefully.

"I have the feeling that I do. Care to enlighten me?" Sanji said seriously.

Zoro could only nod. He had no idea how much of a terrible job it was going to be to get his best friend back. No idea at all.

Meanwhile in the future. Or past.

Sanji's muscles screamed at him to stop. Absolutely screamed. He'd been at this for the whole day now, and he was tired. So tired that his legs shook. How long had he been there, in this sweltering heat and torturing cold. The sand under his toes hadn't disappeared and the sick feeling to his stomach hadn't either. His body hurt, his body demanded food, his body demanded rest and his body demanded water.

"Curse you, Roger," he muttered.

A guards whip smacked into his back and he let out a cry of pain, stumbling and dropping his task. The wheel stopped turning and the guard whipped him again, demanding he stand and finish the task.

Sanji's vision blurred, black spots swirling in his eyesight. He caught a glimpse of Magellan, cringed, and fell to the floor in a heap.

Sanji's mind was a dark place to be, and not of his choice. The years had gone by terribly slow, and his strong body deserved a rest. He knew Magellan favored him as a prisoner, so he'd probably sleep in a normal bed tonight. But otherwise. Terrible, horrible things stood in his way to freedom.

None which he would go the lengths to achieve.

His mind dwindled and passed memories of old times and present ones. He could still remember his own scream so loud in his ears. As Zoro and Luffy disappeared before him and he was left behind to see the shocked look on Zoro face etched into his eyes. Nothing made sense until he heard Roger speak to him.

Nothing made sense after that as well. He hadn't gone back, did they even try?

He wanted out. He wanted out. He wanted out. He wanted out. He. Wanted. Out. Dammit.

The swirling cold in his limbs made him slightly aware that something was happening to his body, but more he didn't know. For the better, he could only think. The less of the torture he went through conscious, the less scarred he'd be mentally and emotionally.

Nobody cared for his well-being. Except maybe Old Man Zeff. But Sanji hadn't heard from him. Nor anyone he'd befriended. He'd made himself as small as possible, trying to get back in that cage his father had once pushed him in.

Once Magellan realized that he was fragile, the man had taken it upon himself to see him to his tasks, though they were never cruel like the other prisoners. The only thing that was cruel to him, was that he was only allowed to eat once every week. It tore at his mind, his every fiber, his very being. But he had to endure.

For his friends, for his Nakama. And above all, for his Captain and All Blue.
