Okay this is a time travel fanfic. (My first actual story ever!) there would be no pairings. There will a lot of changes such as...

1.) The crew will slightly be expanded (the only characters that will not be joining are Vivi, no BW agents, Alvida, and CP9 agents.)

2.) Everyone will get stronger than they are currently are in the manga.

3.) There will be a couple guys that I will kill off. (Nobody in the crew)

4.) Marines will be stronger by the first half of the Grand Line.

5.) Everyone will have a bounty after leaving Lougetown

6.) There will be a 4th Admiral

7.) Luffy and his crew will be more serious now.

8.) The crew will be comparable to Whitebeard's crew before Enies Lobby.

9.) I'm not including no filler arcs into the story but i might involve some filler characters into the story

10.) There will be more deaths because since Luffy and his crew will be more serious, they won't be letting people off easily. i will explain it more in the story.

And last but not least...

11.) the story will stray from the canon a lot.

So guys I hope y'all will enjoy my story. Feel free to leave reviews. If your going to leave ignorant reviews, don't bother writing one. I'm only looking for reasonable criticism. there will be certain points in the story that you guys will feel like it won't make sense, but i will explain in more detail later on in the story. i won't leave you guys hanging without a explanation.

p.s...there would be a lot of references to other op stories. (I asked a couple of authors can I borrow some things and they said they didn't care XD)

Chapter 1: Where Did This Barrel Come From?

It was a normal day on the Sunny. After escaping from Big Mom's territory, and meeting up with Zoro's team, the crew decided that they would rest for a day before going to Wano. The day before they were celebrating Jimbei's return and were having a pretty simple day. As they were sailing with clear skies, a mysterious barrel was floating on the side of the ship. Nami decided to check the weather for sudden changes. As she checked the east side of the ship and was surprised when she saw the barrel floating so closely to their ship.

"Everyone, come quick!" Nami yelled.

Fortunately, she didn't have to yell as loud. As usual the first person to Nami's side was Sanji,who appeared from the kitchen. Luffy, who was sitting on top of the Sunny figurehead, stretched back onto the ship. Usopp was at his tool station ran over to her. Chopper was in the medic room working on some medicine formulas heard her and decided to run to see what's the commotion all about. Robin was in the lower level studying a book about the relics on Zou, and heard frantic footsteps above and decided to see what's happening. Brook was practicing new lyrics for his song but stopped when he heard Nami yell. Franky was also in the lower level working on the Sunny but stopped he heard Nami. Zoro was lifting weights but stopped when heard yelling and decided to go see what was all the fuss about.

"Nami-swan! What's wrong?" Sanji asked worriedly.

"What is it this time you witch?" Zoro growled.

"Watch your filthy mouth shitty swordsman!" Sanji yelled.

"What was that pervy cook?" Zoro yelled.

And as usual the two started fighting and Nami just sighed and slammed her fists into both of them.

"STOP YOU IDIOTS!" She yelled.

As Zoro and Sanji were trying to recover from their wounds, Robin decided to speak up.

"What seems to be the problem Nami?" Robin asked.

"Yeah why are you yelling so SUPERRRRR loud for?" Franky asked loudly.

"That is the reason why I'm yelling!" Nami pointed to the side of the ship.

Everyone decided to glance towards the side of the ship and saw a barrel floating on the side of their ship. It had a note attached on top of it.

"Why is a suspicious barrel floating so close to our ship?" Usopp asked in a cowardly type of manner.

"Maybe it has a severed head in it?" Robin suggested.

"Aahhhhhhhh!" Chopper, and Brook yelled.

"STOP DOING THAT!" Usopp yelled at Robin.

"I am definitely not in the mood for another stupid trap! I'm still having nightmares about Thriller Bark." Nami said in an annoyed tone.

"Maybe there's meat inside!" Luffy, who was already drooling, said in an excited tone.

"Idiot." Nami said.

"Luffy," I don't think there's meat inside there. Jimbei said, speaking up for the first time.

"Maybe It's candy!"

"Maybe It's booze."

Maybe It's cola!"

Maybe It's panties!"

"YOU GUYS ARE ALL IDIOTS!" Nami yelled angrily.

"Well let's find out!" Luffy suggested.

Luffy decided to stretch his hand down to grab the barrel out of the water. The barrel landed on the ship with a loud THUD. The barrel was a simple brown colored but what caught everyone's attention was the note that was attached to it. Robin decided to gently take the paper off the barrel and read out loud...

" Thank You for Accepting My Gift Straw Hat Pirates. Signed, Dr . Vegapunk"

As soon as Robin read the last words, everyone tensed up except for Luffy, who was still wondering if there's meat inside they barrel. Zoro held his hands on his sword. Nami reached for her new Clima tact that obtained from Usopp on Zou. Usopp reached for his Pop Green slingshot. Chopper was running around frantically yelling, "It's the Enemy!" Brook reached for his sword. Jimbei stood calmly in his fishman karate stance. Zoro and Sanji scanned the area using their Observation Haki. They scanned around for the enemy, but found nobody. Franky stood and thought to himself, "Why would Vegapunk send us a gift?"

"Ayy guys! I think it's safe to open it!" Luffy yelled

"LUFFY! DON'T!" Everyone yelled, but It was too late.

A beam that formed into a shape of a crescent moon appeared above the Sunny and engulfed everyone in a beam of white light.

Okay Guys, this the first chapter and im planning on making this into a long story just bear with me. This isn't a typical time travel fic. It'll have some similarities to New Game Plus, Second Wind, And Nine Minutes. The fight scenes might be more intense or the same. It's just this story would be different from others and I know I'll have a lot of negative reviews but try to give a little break guys. This is my actual first fanfic story. Give me some reviews and tell me what you guys think :D
