PARADOX

Chapter 0: Starting a cycle

Everyone wants another chance to go back in time and set things right, after planning- But knowing Luffy, everything is bound to end up in chaos, even if he does plan. "It's not an adventure if you let the world play out itself and correct everything at the climax. Let's change history."

War cries, weapon clashing, bodies falling. He could hear it, the despair and agony. Was this what his father had wished for or was it that the revolutionary side was so weak it was hardly putting up a fight?

Come on. He hadn't even paid Makino her tab yet.

Luffy felt someone shaking him out of daze.

"Luffy - san." Brook was saying to him. "We have to prevent this from happening."

"But it's already done." Luffy's voice was tired.

"It can be re-done. Yohohohoho." Brook despite in midst of battle laughed at his captain.

Luffy's eyes widened.

"You mean I can see everyone else again?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"Well you see." Brook said while kicking an attacker away.

"My devil fruit has another power. I can send other souls through time. You know resurrecting others through souls."

Luffy looked puzzled.

"To keep it simple you go back to the point which was most important to you to change everything. Isn't that great? Yohohohoho." Brook said cheerfully.

Luffy despite being exhausted managed a small smile.

"But if you could do this why didn't you before?" Luffy questioned the last of his crew.

"It was the last `straw Luffy - san. Well then I'll see you when we meet again. Yohohohoho."

"Do you think I'll be able to save them?" Luffy looked hopefully at Brook.

"Of course. You are the man who became the Pirate King right?"

Brook pointed his finger at his Captain's forehead.

"Wait what about you?" Luffy looked at him.

"You can always recruit me in your crew again." Brook answered.

"One more thing, Luffy - san . There might be some small changes considering you are going to the past which was not supposed to happen."

"What do you mean?"

"Like Franky - san's hair become orange or something."

"Eh? What the - anyway I'll deal with it when I get there. Thanks Brook. I'll definitely pay back the favor."

"Then please let me see Nami - san's panties. Yohohohoho."

Luffy shook his head in amusement and saw the battle field for the last time.

'I am going to change everything. This time I won't be the aloof stupid Luffy. Because I was incompetent everyone got killed. I'll make sure to be responsible in the other time line."

With that everything went black.

This is the prologue so it is a little short. I'll try to write longer chapters.
