"S-so... he's gone... right?" Usopp asked timidly, scared that Blackbeard would randomly appear out of no where and start attacking them again.

It wasn't too far fetched after everything that he had just seen.

"Im pretty sure..." Sniper said to his past self, eyeing the spot that Blackbeard had just been nervously.

"He's gone." Monkeys voice was slightly deeper and rougher when in Gear Fourth and suddenly everyone remembered the heavily injured Captain.

"Monkey, that was awesome! But get out of that form, its stretching your wounds open too far!" Tony shouted, caught between being amazed at how cool his Captains Gear Fourth was and how serious his new patients injuries were. In seconds Monkeys body was deflating until he was his normal self again, everyone making their way over to him and crowding around while Tony began getting to work, helping Monkey lay back on a blanket he had placed down first.

"He's gonna be ok, right?" Vivi asked timidly, eyeing Monkeys heavily bleeding wounds with worry. Tony's face was stern as he got to work, staunching the wounds as best he could.

"I'll be fine Vivi, after all, Tony's gonna be the best doctor in the whole world! He'll be able to cure anything. All I need is some meat and I'll be fine." Monkey said with his signature grin, laughing.

"That's not how it works! You need proper medical attention, not food!" Tony scolded, Chopper coming over as well to help. Monkey shrugged, which was hard when Chopper was holding a rag to his heavily bleeding shoulder.

"Meats always worked for me before." Monkey said, Tony and Chopper ignoring him.

"So how do you know he's really gone?" Cat Burglar asked, looking back to where they had been fighting just minutes ago.

"Cause that's how Akainu disappeared. He was gonna get up again, didn't, and disappeared. Its a mystery!" Monkey said cheerfully, much too cheerfully for everything he'd just gone through.

"His presence is gone too." Roronoa added, trying to sense the traitorous pirate with his haki. Black Leg nodded in agreement, having done the same.

"Seems the bastards really gone this time. We'll just have to finish that fight at a later date." The blonde said, taking a puff of his cigarette.

"Well that's good I guess, that fight was getting a little scary." Nami admitted, still a bit shaken up from it all. She hadn't been attacked, unless you counted the black hole that made her sink a few feet, but just watching her friends, even if they were from the future, get hurt was probably worse then her getting hurt herself.

"I still wish I could've fought with you guys." Ace said with a pout. There was a huff and Sabo was slinging an arm around Ace.

"Well, if you think about it, you kind of were fighting, after all, I was using your devil fruit." Sabo said, lighting his fingertips aflame. Ace narrowed his eyes at the flames, still pouting, but after a second he sighed, nodding.

"I guess that's the best Im getting right now." Ace said, Sabo laughing loudly at that as he patted Ace on the back.

"ACK!" Snipers sudden exclamation of shock had everyone turning their heads in confusion, trying to see whatever it was he was seeing.

"What's wrong Sniper?" Law asked, only getting Snipers shaky finger pointing to Marco.

"Y-You're becoming invisible!" He said, everyone looking and seeing that he was right. Marco's entire body was becoming transparent, much like Blackbeards had. Marco didn't look fazed in the slightest, only sighing and shrugging in response before turning to look at Ace.

"Well, I guess this was it then. It was good seeing you again Ace." Marco said as a means of goodbye, walking up to Ace and giving him a hug. Ace smiled, suppressing a laugh at the Commanders- or wait, hadn't Blackbeard mentioned something about him being Captain now? Crap, he never got to ask him about that.

"Only you would be this calm when I can literally see right through you." Ace said, smiling and hugging the man back. Marco gave a chuckle, but nothing more could be said as the man finished disappearing, those with haki realizing that he was now gone.

"S-so were going back now?" Cat Burglar asked, glancing around for anyone else who might be becoming transparent.

"It would seem so. Law, I think you're next in that regard." Robin said.

"Why do you say that Robin-sis?" Franky asked, everyone nodding their agreement while Robin merely giggled behind her hand. Everyone turned to look at Law, only to see he was nearly gone already.

"Oh." They all deadpanned, Law rolling his eyes as he turned to face Ace.

"It was nice to meet you Portgas." Law said, Ace nodding in acknowledgment as they watched Law return to the future.

"So were going back in the order that we came then?" Brook asked. Robin nodded while Monkey began standing up, despite the fact that Chopper and Tony tried to get him to lay back down.

"That would mean I'm next then." Sabo said with a sigh, giving Ace an almost sad smile.

"Well, this was probably the last time I'll see you for a while at least." Sabo said. Ace smiled back, flicking the blondes top hat.

"Yeah, well I don't want to see your face for a long time you hear?" Ace asked, eliciting a laugh from Sabo who moved to hug his brother.

"Yeah, yeah you trouble making idiot." Sabo said softly.

"Hey, didn't we already talk about this? Luffys the one who causes trouble, not me!" Ace whined, the straw hats nodding their agreement as they thought back to all the trouble Luffy had attracted during their time with him. Sabo rolled his eyes, pulling back to look at Ace, still smiling.

"Yeah, but you can be just as bad as him." Sabo said as he too finally disappeared. There was only a second of silence before Brook was speaking.

"Ah, I guess this means were next." He said, raising his hand to see that he could see right through it now. Franky and Robin were the same as him.

"Aw, but this has been such a Suuuper~ time!" Franky whined.

"It would be unrealistic for us to stay here forever, besides, much longer and an enemy could have come that would have pulverized us." Robin said nonchalantly, sending a chill down the crews spines.

"Robin!" Sniper cried out, only for the woman to laugh.

"Well I would like to say, it has been a pleasure Ace-san." Brook said, bowing after clearing his throat. (If he even had a throat to clear! Skull Joke!)

"Likewise Brook." Ace responded, bowing as well.

"See ya Ace-bro! It was fun!" Franky said with a wave, trying to hide his tears.

"This sure has been an interesting adventure. Goodbye Ace-san." Robin said with a smile. Ace nodded.

"Goodbye Robin, Franky." He said as they disappeared as well.

"I don't wanna disappear! Does it hurt?! Monkey this is all your fault!" Sniper whined as he watched everyone leave.

"You idiot, you're already disappearing!" Cat Burglar said with a frustrated sigh as she pinched her nose. Snipers tears that were falling promptly stopped as he looked at himself.

"Oh... AGH! IM DISAPPEARING!" Sniper cried in shock, only scaring Tony who now began running around in circles, terrified.

"Oh my-... anyways, I guess I'll say it then. Im glad we got to see you again Ace, goodbye. SNIPER, TONY, STOP ALL THAT YELLING!" The threes screams faded off as they also disappeared, leaving everyone sweatdropping except Luffy and Monkey who were laughing loudly.

"Cat Burglar-Swaan~! I'll see you soon my love!" Black Leg cooed. Normally Roronoa would respond to this with a tease or an insult but seeing as he was now on a time limit, his transparent hand saying as much, he turned to Ace instead, bowing.

"We'll be sure to take care of Monkey." Roronoa said with enough earnest to give Black Leg pause in his noodling.

"Shitty marimo, always stealing my line." Sanji said as even he bowed to Ace.

"But he's right, we'll look after him." Black Leg said. Ace smiled at the two.

"Thanks, I trust you will." Ace said as he watched them go. It was quiet for a second, everyone already knowing who was going next.

"No hug?" Ace asked with a small smile, turning to look at Monkey who was staring at the ground, shifting nervously from foot to foot. They could see his lip begin to tremble slightly before he was charging into Aces arms.

"Im gonna miss you Ace!" Monkey cried, Ace chuckling softly.

"Yeah, but we'll see each other again. But like I told Sabo, it better not be anytime soon, you hear?!" Ace said sternly, Monkey nodding in agreement.

"See? So stop being such a crybaby, you know how I feel about them." Ace said, still smiling, holding no bad feelings in his words. Monkey pulled back from his brother, sniffling and wiping at his eyes.

"Im not a crybaby! See?!" Monkey said with a pout. Ace merely laughed in response before settling down, seeing now that Monkey was becoming transparent as well.

"Take care of yourself Monkey." Ace said softly. Monkey stared at him for a minute before smiling widely, nodding.

"See you later Ace."

Because Monkey D. Luffy never says goodbye to anyone, knowing that one day, he'll see them again.

"Luffy, wake up!" Luffy groaned as he slowly came to, his eyes opening slowly as he began waking up. Wherever he was it was bright and it made him squint for a second as he tried to remember what had just been happening.

"Finally. You said he was alright, right Chopper?" That was definitely Namis voice, he knew that much.

"Mm. Its as if the entire battle didn't happen! He doesn't have a single wound!" And that was Choppers voice. So he was with his crew, that was good.

Blinking his eyes a few times the Captain tried to get his bearings straight, looking around. He was on a grassy deck and it only took him all of two seconds for him to realize he was back on the Sunny, his entire crew surrounding him.

"Wha-?" He asked, feeling slightly groggy as he wiped his eyes.

"Hey there shitty Captain, were back." Sanji said, lighting a cigarette. Luffy gave him a look of confusion for a second, not quite knowing what that meant. They were back? From where? Were they on an island? Did he miss it?

"You were out longer than we were, but we all just woke up too." Chopper informed from beside him. And then he remembered. He had seen Ace, they had gone to the past, and now they were back home, water surrounding them on all sides, an island visible in the distance.

Luffy grinned.

"Shishishishi~! We went into the past!" Monkey cheered, any grogginess he had had was now gone at this point as he jumped up from the deck. Nami sighed, shaking her head.

"I don't even know why I worry about that idiot." She said as she went to the news coo that was now dropping.

"Because he's one Suuper~ guy!" Franky said, posing. Nami rolled her eyes, paying for the paper and skimming over it, glancing over the date.

"Wait... ITS THE SAME DAY?!" Nami shrieked, everyone covering their ears at the loud shrill. Hesitantly Usopp lifted his hands from his ears.

"Really?" He asked, though he knew it was a stupid question.

"From the looks of it it would only have been a few hours since we left, assuming it was the same day." Brook observed, looking at the sun that was higher in the sky then it had been the day everyone began disappearing to the past. Nami sighed.

"Its for the best I guess." She mumbled, and no one could quite figure out why she was so sad.

"Isn't it a... good thing though? We didn't miss anything then." Chopper said, confused. Nami sank down, a gloomy aura surrounding her.

"Yeah but... that means I paid for two newspapers today!" Nami whined, Usopp and Chopper falling to the ground in shock.

"They only cost a berri!" Usopp shouted.

"Greedy witch." Zoro grumbled, immediately incurring the wrath of Sanji who came flying his way with a kick.

"What was that you shitty marimo?!" Sanji shouted, starting a fight that nobody bothered stopping.

"Shishishi, you guys are so funny!" Monkey laughed, slapping his knee in glee. It continued on this way for a while, Sanji leaving at some point to go make lunch, and when they were eating they began recounting their memories of what had happened, confirming for each other that they hadn't been dreaming and that they really had gone to the past.

"But... wait, why did Sunny go back with us? She came too soon to be an ally, so wouldn't that mean that Sunny was guilty too?" Usopp asked, everyone pondering the question.

"That's a good point Usopp-bro." Franky said with a frown.

"Maybe Sunny was guilty after all." Robin said matter of factly. Everyone gave her a look of confusion.

"What do you mean Robin-san?" Brook asked. Robin shrugged.

"Its merely a theory, but ships that are treated well are said to gain Klabautermann, correct?" Robin asked. Everyone nodded.

"Yeah, but that's only when a ship is dying." Nami said, still confused. Robin nodded this time.

"Yes, but that's only when the crew of the ship sees the Klabautermann. Who's to say that there isn't a Klabautermann on the Sunny this very moment, but we just can't see them because Sunnys still perfectly fine?" Robin asked, eating as if this was normal conversation. Everyone sat in silence, digesting the information for a while before accepting it as fact.

"Well, anyways, can we go to the island now?!" Luffy asked cheerfully after finishing his food.

"You still wanna go?!" Chopper asked incredulously. Luffy laughed, nodding happily.

"Yeah! Adventure!" He cheered, already running out of the galley before anyone could stop him.

"That idiot. I guess I'll go make sure were still on course to dock." Nami said with a huff as she left, Sanji calling praises after her.

And so the Straw Hats continued on with their adventures.


Aaaand~! THAT'S IT! After nearly a year and a half I've finally finished this story! Its been a long time coming and its sad to see it ending, but its for the best. Even though I could probably have written many more chapters it would have been like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle with pieces that don't belong. The story may have continued, but it might not have made sense, or it would have gotten too outlandish (Not that a story about anime characters going to the past isn't already outlandish...).

Anyways, onto some announcements! As I mentioned last chapter, Im going to address some reviews I've gotten. These all regarded new ideas for the story that I would have loved to put in, but at the time I couldn't make them fit without, as I stated before, dragging on the story for much too long and making things way too complicating. These ideas included people they wanted to see come to the past or fights they wanted to happen, and to be honest, I had planned on having a few more people come back as well, namely Garp.

Im thinking of maybe doing short little one shots revolving around these chapters where I would add scenes where more people came back or fights that didn't happen did happen, so if you would like to see that, tell me and I'll start working all of that out.

Also, there will be no sequel to this story, at least, not anytime in the near future. I wouldn't have a clue as to what to base a sequel on and I would still have to outline it all to avoid going on an random hiatus again like I had done with this story. However, I do have another story planned and am already in the works of finishing the outline for it! It's going to be a bit different from this story, just something I've had on my mind for a bit that I wanted to write out, so if you think you'll be interested in it stay tuned! It might take a few months for the first chapter to come up, but rest assured that there will be a new story! (Here's a bit of a hint; its an ASL grows up with the Whitebeard Pirates story, but a bit different then the ones I've seen before)

Well, I think that is all I've got. Once again, thank you for everyone who even glanced at this story, wrote a review, favorited or followed either me, or my story, it means a whole lot to me and I wouldn't have been able to get through this without you guys! To end this off, I'll just leave the stats for this story at the time that Im posting this:
