Stronger characters, all powers Ichigo, Ichigo/Harem, manga spoilers. I do not own Bleach. If I did, Isshin wouldn't have kept stuff from Ichigo.

Sea Kings, sea-sickness, sunburns, a 95% genocidal Navy and more than a million and one other assorted ways to die. It's official: Being inserted into an anime sucks ass...

That's what they said, but the truth is, they just don't want him getting in the way of their work. Tsuna knew they were lying so he just followed them. [FULL SUMMARY INSIDE]

When 13 year old Trafalgar Law got caught by the marines after just escaping Doflamingo's grasp, he didn't expect to get dropped off with a group of bandits in East Blue. He also didn't expect the trio of savage children that lived in the woods. No matter, they were of no interest to him. But if only the excessive nose-picker would stop following him around.

Luffy goes on an adventure but this time with a different crew. Strawhat Luffy and his Grandfleet are very overpowered but so are the bad guys! Will cover the very beginning of one piece to present. **Current Arc:Pre-WANO ARC**. 2yr time-skip starts on Chp 22.

He had lost. Donquixote Doflamingo had been defeated, and he had lost his life. He had expected fire and brimstone or an endless existence in purgatory, but this? This was something he hadn't expected. Now here he was, a new world, a new life and Donquixote Doflamingo would use it to usher in a New Age. And being the Child of Prophecy will be a tremendous help.

The trinity seven you know and love but with an OP and Smarter Arata. Lemons of course.

(AU, stronger/more mature/darker/jaded Luffy, no romance)

A collection of drabbles and oneshots exploring a romantic/sexual relationship between Luffy and Hancock. Mostly fluff and humor.

What if not only Ace was the son of the Late Pirate King, but Luffy was as well? What if Sabo was the son of the Great Revolutionary Dragon? A twist on the original tale that will have the ASL brothers heading out on their adventures much earlier than anticipated, and facing trials they could scarcely imagine. Can they get past their parent's, and make a name all their own?

5 years after the Straw Hat Pirates have conquered the Grand Line, Ain, the former hand of Admiral Zephyr, hunts down the elusive First Mate in hopes of answering her hesitation. She gets more than she bargained for when a simple meeting turns into the next-defining adventure of the Pirate era. Future-AU.

"The world has too many heroes. It needs a monster." A monster the world needs, a monster it will get. What if when good ol' hat n'clogs gave Ichigo the chance he needed to regain his Shinigami powers and rescue Rukia, instead of finding old man Zangetsu, he found another in his place.

All things that had tangled between them had come undone, yet the very universe conspires to reconnect them. Even as they meet that stranger's eyes, something inside them changes. Like a star falling. And they remember. (Alternatively, stupid artsy summary aside: Taki and Mitsuha remember everything and sickeningly sweet fluff ensues)

After deciding to spend a night in Sabaody before heading to Fishman Island, one by one the crew disappears! The crew find themselves transported into the past, to Alabasta. (CANCELLED)

Things did not turn out well at the last second, so of course Urahara has a reset button. Suddenly, Ichigo is once again a nine year old boy watching his mother get attacked by a hollow. My own take on a Bleach time travel fic.

What if Luffy accessed his Haki before Shanks arrived and ate a different fruit then the Gomu Gomu no Mi and Shanks and Benn decided to take him along to the Grandline to train him for 5 years? Watch a smarter, stronger Luffy with the power of the Mizu Mizu no Mi emerges to become the Pirate King. Luffy x Robin Possible Luffy x Robin x Boa Other side pairings. -Adopted-

The Pirate King Monkey D. Luffy didn't come back to save the world. His only wish is to save his friends and assure their absolute happiness this time around. Even if he has to turn said world upside down while trying to achieve that. For better or for worse. (Hopefully not usual Time Travel AU, OP!Luffy, and general chaos and craziness that he brings into the world) SLOW UPDATES

After having a rather lukewarm dinner, suddenly Kamijou Touma and Othinus found themselves stranded in an unknown realm. What kind of uproar will Imagine Breaker bring to a world of gods and devils ? One thing for sure, change is inevitable.

Sabo found a 7 year-old in the Revolutionary Army's base. He knows Fire Fist Ace. And him, somehow. Sabo has many questions and the fact that this kid is also apparently a 17 year-old rookie pirate does not answer any of them.

Sabo almost died and he decided he never wanted to be seperated from his brothers again. They decided to set out together to sail the seas. When they get capture by the Whitebeard Pirates they have to decide stay and join or leave. Follow the ASL as they have adventures and fun with the Whitebeard pirates.

When Luffy wakes up on the Going Merry he's shocked. When the crew suddenly looks younger hes confused. When he sees Ace hes devastated. The crew find themselves appearing on the Merry in Alabasta, but how could this be? They were almost at Raftel, not Alabasta! And why was Ace suddenly... alive! How will they handle this, and more importantly, how will they get back to their time?

What if Touma had had enough of taking the blame for things he didn't do or things he did by accident? What if he got one too many injuries in his everyday, normal life? What if he wasn't going to put up with it anymore? This is the story of Touma finally putting his foot down.

Finished. My take on what happens when Luffy escapes from Big Mom, viewpoint is from multible characters but Nami will have the vast majority, genre kinda varies, rated just to be safe, will be multible chapters, enjoy and RnR, Epilogue Chapter is now up, sorry for the long waiting time. For more reading look for the Sequel story "Blood ties like Iron Chains"

With the sons of the three most infamous men in the world, two runaway royals, and two lone survivors wronged by the government, the Whitebeard Pirates are in for a headache when they take these seven into their care. Zoro, Ace, Luffy, Sabo, Sanji, Law, and Robin have never really all got together before Whitebeard, but they are all still known to the world as the Seven DemonSpawn.

Luffy saved Robin from the ambush on Sabaody Archipelago, but it ended in tragedy. Luffy lost both Ace and Robin during the battle of Marineford. In a new level of grief and rage, he Awakens his Devil Fruit, stretching time itself to prevent it from happening again. Luffy will fight to get back what he lost. Smarter!Luffy OP!Luffy Dark!Luffy Definite LuRo, once we get there.

Despite being a better target, Blackbeard decides to keep his plan to bring Luffy in, instead of Ace. Will Ace and the Straw Hats be able to save Luffy from Impel Down and figure out what game Blackbeard is playing? An AU where Blackbeard keeps to his original plan and kidnaps Luffy in order to gain the Warlord seat.

Despite the efforts of Garp, Luffy's heritage became known to the World Govt. With Sabo trapped with his parents, and Bluejam stealing Luffy for the Nobles, Ace knows what he has to do. Gray Terminal isn't the only thing that burns that night. Eventual Red Hair Pirate ASL cabin-boys.

Garp is a pirate, Roger is a Marine? The Marine top-tiers are full of slacking drunkards and the Yonko are obsessed with rice crackers? Just what kind of chaos will unfold in a world such as this? A role-reversal AU where everything is upside down and no one is quite sane. Drabble series. Entry #5 - My idiot Marine grandson

Marco runs into Gol D. Roger by chance. The meeting changes the course of history considerably.

Blackbeard gives Luffy to the Marines, instead of Ace. Sengoku really wishes he hadn't. A bit cracky, meant purely for humor.

After class A are completely beaten by the E class on the finals, the Chairman decides to set an example; He punishes his son for loosing first place to Karma Akabane by sending him to E class. How will the former student council president survive in the class he used to look down on? Will Gakushu be able to become an assassin, or will his disdain for E class hold him back?

After a disaster worse than Sabaody, the crew are 'saved' by Vegapunk's experimental time machine. All of the crew is blown back into their past bodies with all of their memories. As Luffy slowly gathers them together again, the world will never be the same. Who wants the same old boring adventure? Screw the plot, and let the chips fall where they may.

The ASL pirates are used to being accused of crimes they didn't commit. But when they're accused of destroying a small village in the New World, it sends them hurtling toward a deadly confrontation with the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard. The results are not what they were expecting.

The world became upside down as war rage upon the sea. The Pirate King not only got seriously sick but also lost half of his nakama. Chrono the time manipulator was awakened to serve his masters, the Pirate King and Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army. The decision is made, change the history for better or worse starting Marineford. Timetravel!Sabo&Luffy&Chopper "ASL brothers"

As the day passes I sometimes imagine Luffy with different devil fruits, so I decided to group them all in one place! Oneshots about Luffy and his new devil fruit which will lead to lots of weird moments! Inspired by Awareness Bringer. Current devil fruit: (Gold Gold Fruit). See ya!

Luffy is a 13-year-old boy who seems ordinary, but first impressions are rarely true. He holds a secret since he is very young and was hurt when he revealed it before. Opening up to people again, to his brother, Ace, is it really what he needs to do? This story takes place in a Modern!AU, Medium!Luffy Psychic!Luffy OOC!Luffy.

The ASL brothers hadn't seen this coming, not at all. Being on Dawn Island a minute ago and then sent to a time where they meet the people they never met, but at the same time would meet. This is so confusing. What should they do? How are they going to get back? AND WHAT IS GOING ON! Time Travel!fic Whitebeard arc Done!Golden Arc Done! New Age arc About to begin! HIATUS

The SBS is a gold mine.

Luffy meets Miss All-Sunday early and is offered to join Baroque Works. How will his story continue? You decide. Challenge story.

Sanji wakes on the Thousand Sunny. Luffy is there, like he always is.

Some time travel stories have Luffy change things. Some have him strive to keep them the same. Enjoy this short LuRo OneShot where he tries to do the latter until he sees no choice but to do the former. Contains a smarter and rather OOC Luffy.

A dying and bloodied Monkey D. Luffy has a final present to offer to the world as the Pirate King. The World Government is not amused.

The Vinsmokes somehow end up on the Strawhats' ship after crashing the Big Mom's Tea Party and not everything is as right as it seems.

When the Straw Hats reunite on Wano, Zoro meets the rest of the Vinismokes. Things…don't go as expected. Pairings? Read and find out!

The Strawhats know that it's not in Luffy's nature to refuse an adventure, but the shady man offering it should have raised some valid questions. Stranded in the Void Century with only Robin as a makeshift guide and only means to communicate, they can maybe handle. But getting caught up in a global-scale military conflict that shapes history is definitely where Nami draws the line.

The crew reunites on Wano after Big Mom arc. I'm not Oda, so Cannon Divergent. Zoro centric. Sanji POV. Not romance. Nakamaship. One-shot.

Portgas D. Ace is very thankful when he finds out that best friend/brother? isn't dead when his savior, Monkey D. Dragon, returns with him. However, after mulling over a cup of tea he comes to a decision, he doesn't want to lose his loved ones again. So, Ace finally gives in and agrees to let Luffy be captain, not wanting to let him or Sabo out of his sights! ASL!Crew DF!Luffy

Zoro returns home after helping Luffy conquer the Grand Line with one last thing he needs to do.

Ace will save his nakama. He will save his father. And he will save his little brother and ensure Luffy's happiness even if it kills him. Again. Thankfully, he won't be doing it alone. Together, he and Luffy will change the world.

The battle at Marineford is a long and gruelling trial, but with Ace free, it was worth it. Akainu wants the two brats dead, and will stop at nothing. What would happen if Ace stumbles in the race to Luffy?

His heart and soul was hers, and he was determined to keep his eternal promise

With the exception of Monkey D. Luffy, everyone had been shocked at the arrival in the New World of Hancock, the 'Pirate Empress' and Warlord of Seas. She still insisted on being referred to by that title despite how that system had been disbanded. One Shot.

Every Devil's Fruit User tend to go to the 'Awakening' and Ace in the middle of a War finally developed an extraordinary way of controlling and using his powers and the whole world will know every bit of it. ***))((The flames are based in KHR. (*ONESHOT*)

While vacationing in East Blue, the 'Dark King' Silvers Rayleigh has a chance meeting with a small boy named Monkey D. Luffy in a bar. Luffy says something that piques the Dark Kings interest and Rayleigh decides to take the boy on as his first and last apprentice. No Harem. Slightly A/U. Luffy did not meet Ace/Sabo. Strong Luffy. Slightly more intelligent Luffy.

9-year old Ichigo lived and died about 100 years ago. Sent to district 78 of South Rukongai, Inuzuri, you can guess who he'll meet. He was the one who changed her world. But now he's going to change it, right from the very beginning. Perhaps in death, they'll find happiness. It is but the next great journey...

Fast-Paced one-shot.

If some things are truly meant to be, if no twist of fate can keep two destined souls apart, if a another chance at life is another chance to find each other and fall in love all over again, is that not a chance worth taking? Does love know boundaries?

A little girl with the power of the Memory-Memory Fruit traps the Straw Hat crew and decides to make them witness each other's most painful memories. Why? Well, she's a twisted little girl. Has memories from all members of the crew.

What if the crew never met Ace, or Robin never met Sabo? What if they died before Luffy adventure. All it takes to know is a photo album with a story. Takes place after 2 year timeskip while heading to Fishman Island, mentions death of two amazing brothers, Ace's death is really similar to Marineford.

Dragon was only there to return what was theirs

The final battle against the Blackbeard Pirates changed history, revealing the Second Pirate King. Side by side they fought: the Marines, the last Yonkou, the Revolutionaries and the Straw Hats but it was only at the end did the world truly understand and come to fear the Will of D. AU

Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni is, at heart, an old man who likes his tea prepared a certain way and has a soft spot for talented youngsters. His latest fledgling seems to be one Kurosaki Ichigo, substitute soul reaper. (Alternatively, a story in which Yamamoto is a crafty old man, Ichigo grows up to be utterly terrifying, and Aizen doesn't stand a chance.)

Luffy decides to fulfill a dream of his brother that he long forgotten: writing a book. "I want to see the wide world and use what I saw to write about what I saw!" (Sabo). Oneshot set before Sabaody Arc. Very fluffy.
