"It's starting." Usopp said.
The mirror blinked black and white for a while, before the sound of robotic beeping and explosion came from the mirror.
"Eh!? What's happening!?" Chopper asked.
Zoro with arms crossed answered, "Seems like a fight."
"I bet it is." Nami answered with confidence.
The sound of what seems to be a machine came out of the black Mirror, accompanied by by the sound of laser being fired.
The mirror, which remained blank, started to make some ripples.
The sound of Luffy's voice appeared, and finally, the Mirror became clear.
"Pfft..." A snicker was heard, and everyone glance at the source of voice and saw Shank covering his mouth.
"That's a big backpack right there." Thatch commented, blowing a cigarette.
Marco furrowed his eyebrows and glance at his friend weirdly, "Where'd you even get that?"
Thatch raised an eyebrow then made an 'oh' sound, "You mean, this cigarette."
"Yeah."
"I don't know, I have some in my pockets."
"That's a stupid disguise. I could tell it's him with one glance." Helmeppo commented.
"NO ONE ASKED YOUR GODDAMN OPINION!" Boa Hancock yelled, making Helmeppo flinched.
Oh right—that disguise came from Boa Hancock herself and no one knows, Helmeppo just thought she's being protective.
The strawhats felt like face palming.
"Luffy-san prioritize his food more." Brook said.
Usopp sigh, " Yeah, he's being fired by lasers and he's more worried about his food!"
Law 'tsk' and smirked, " His and Kid-ya's stomach are bottomless."
"The fuck you just said, Trafalgar!?" Kid raised his fist and glared at Law, like he's about to asked Law for a fight.
" It's true though." Killer answered, and Kid turned to his with disbelief.
" Seriously!? Who's side are you!?"

"...." Killer stayed silent and Kid scoff.
" That's a tons of food basing on the backpack." Thatch stated, whistling before showing a wide grin.
" Where is he anyway?" Usopp asked.
The mirror suddenly expanded it's reach and showed what's truly happened.
Sentomare who's been silent for a while was stunned. Her eyes widened, "This is..."
Everyone look at the one who just spoke. It was a man holding a wanted poster. The man have a look of fear as he trembled, with shaking hands, he accidentally let go of the wanted poster which drawn everyone's attention.
Everyone from the Space, that is. After all, those people in that scene doesn't need a wanted poster to recognized the red clothed man who's looking at them with irritation.
"Why are they so surprised yoi?" Marco confused stared at the screen with crossed arms.
Sanji smirk and take off the cigarette in his mouth, "It's probably that time. I remember that now."
"What do you mean?" Nami asked.
"Nami-san, it's the same day all of us met each other after two years of separation." Sanji explained and sigh with nostalgia, "I still haven't forgotten that day.....NAMI-SWAN AND ROBIN-CHAN IS SO BEAUTIFUL (♥0♥)"
Nami: (╬▔皿▔)
Everyone wanted to facepalm and some even glared at the blonde love-sick cook as he does his weird dance around Nami and Robin.
"Oh so it was that day!" Usopp said with a wide smile.
"
Strawhats: ......
"AHAHAHA!" The laughter of Shanks at the background immediately turned the aura around the Strawhats gloomy.
"Oh hey, those are the imposters who's trying to act like us." Chopper commented.
"That guy with the blonde hair looks exactly like Ero-cook." Zoro said.
Sanji's eyebrow twitch, "NO ONE WANTS YOUR OPINION!"

"Huh!? You wanna fight Ero-cook!?"
"Bring it on, Marimo!"
"Oh! Isn't that Sentomaru-san?" Coby asked.
Sentomaru scoff, "That was the day we tried to capture Strawhat in Sabaody. Two years of disappearance caused people to think he's dead, but the moment we stepped into the Island one of the CP's immediately spotted him."
Unfortunately she failed to capture her.
"Luffy really has gotten stronger at that time." Chopper said, excitedly watching.
Sabo was sitting beside Ace and he's also feeling excited, seeing his younger brother fought. Even though he already witnessed it many times back then, this scene that he didn't know exist made his blood boil with excitement.
But his excitement soon died down as he turned to face Ace, who's staring at the mirror with a very unreadable expression.
"Hey Ace, you okay?"
Ace turned to look at Sabo with a blank face. In his mind, he's thinking deeply.
Okay? How could he be okay? When his eyes could see those big nasty scar on his brothers chest— which he just took noticed just now.
Ace frowned, "That scar in Luffy's chest..."
Hearing that, Sabo immediately understand. The scar that came from that Marineford War— a scar that came from the experience of desperately trying to save his brother only to fail at the end.
With a gentle smile, Sabo patted Ace's shoulder.
"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault, if I were Luffy's I'd do the same."
Ace froze and tears welled up in his eyes. Looking away, he whispered. "Why?"
The question made the blonde paused, a chuckle escaping his lips.
"Cause you're out brother."
I see. Ace was relived. He still blamed himself— he would never stopped blaming himself.
But the way his brother smiled at him made Ace want to try and cope more with the pain— he doesn't want them feeling bothered about his own mindset.
So with a smile, he look up and watch his brother.
Number nodded in fascination, "Luffy-kun manage to learn it within two years, that is not an easy feat."
"Well, what do you expect from our Captain? He's now the Pirate King after all." Zoror commented.
"Look at him still laughing while being chased." Garp commented with a grin.
Sengoku scoff, "He's still a Pirate. Don't look so proud."
On the other hand Law was smirking, arms crossed as he leaned his back against Bepo.
"Strawhat-ya is so energetic..."
"Captain, don't fall asleep!" Bepo yelled.
All of a sudden they've heard a familiar voice.
"...so he mistake us from those imposters!?" Franky asked, feeling offended because the imposter who's copying him doesn't even resemble him at all. — not even close.
Brook commented, "Yohohoho. Luffy-san isn't the smartest, that's for sure."
"I can't believe it how could he!?" Sanji glared at the mirror and pointed at his face, "My face ain't even similar to that imposter!"
Even before Zoro could open his mouth, Nami already made a move, slamming her elbow against his side making the green haired boy flinch.
"Don't you dare speak." Nami threatened without looking and Zoro just grumbled in annoyance.
"Of course I am." Both Zoro and Sanji spoke at the same time, the two looking towards each other before looking back at the mirror.
"How stupid.." Niji's comment didn't escaped Sanji's ears and the blonde cook felt his lips twitch, but choose to stay silent to avoid arguments that wouldn't be reciprocate because Niji wouldn't care about his thoughts and wouldn't bicker with him.
"Oh I remembered that." Zoro said, making Sanji annoyed.
"Shut up!"

Follow along with our main character as he struggles to establish his new identity while the shadows of his past threaten to consume him. To be a detested hero or celebrated villain? Only time will tell. Author’s Note: Heavily influenced by fantasy goodness far and wide, I hope to make it somewhat original with a sense of familiarity to you. The overall story is pieced together through the perspective of the characters presented, first + third person narrative styles because I enjoy reading novels with similar storytelling. Please feel free to provide any comments and constructive criticisms for me because I love to read what you think so I can continue to improve on my imperfections and make the story better. Cheers!
