To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in a hour

"Hold up...! What do you mean 'Watching memories'?!?" Thatch screamed. "Yeah, and why luffy's? " Ussop added. "You heard me correctly, you're gonna watching his memories" Zam looked at Thacht.

"For why his memories, i dunno it's not my job to decided who's memories you guys gonna watch" Zam shrugged.

"And why we should follow your word's" Surprisingly it was Dragon, after quietly observing, he couldn't help asked after hearing his son's name. This matter involving his son althought he looked like he didn't, he care about his son a lot.

"Ehhh... There's the Revolutiony Army here!?" One of the marines freak out, so are the pirates they didn't notice their presences until now, thanks for the ruckuss earlier.

Zam looked at Dragon as he held his hand to the air like he bored and yawned "Well if you guy's wants to get out of here, the only way is to finish watching this memories."

They watched as Zam stretching his arm, "So we couldn't get out until we finished this whole damn thing's ?" Sanji asked.

"You got it "

"What about our captain? Where is he and why he's not here? " Nami asked.

"Well...usually the memories owner will be here, but he's a special case tho" Zam titled his head.

White Beard move infront of his children's "Brat, one more question, why we're here alive ? There's no such power to revive the dead. "

Zam sighed looked really on the edge for reapeating his word's "Like i said i can control everything in this world, i simply brought you here doesn't mean i reviving you, you still dead just think like a spirit that given a medium so they can interact ."

Everyone looked baffled to hear that, but Zam not gonna wasted anymore time, he already delay the schedule to long.

"Alright enough chit chat, let's move to the important matter." Zam clap his hands and know they are all in some place like a theater, they sit on a the chair, it's comfortable and have a mini table.

"This place is cool !!" Ussop Chopper amd brook have stars in their ayes, "This place is SUPERRR" Franky exclaimed.

"Huh... Nice place " Shanks said while observing the surrounding, "Thanks." Zam said and walked to the front.

Straw Hat pirate's are on the first line, between the White Beard pirate's and Heart Pirate's, on the second line some members of Shichibukai and The Red Hair Pirate's and the last line The Revolutiony Army and the Marine's, infront of them there a big screen.

"Why do i have to sit next to this marimo!" Sanji protest and glaring at Zoro, he should have sit next to Nami-san and Robin-san.

"Hahhh?... It's not like i want to sit next to you either shitty love cook!".

"What did you say marimo?! "Sanji stood up from his chair raising his leg.

"You heard me shitty love cook! " Zoro holding his sword's.

Before they get into a fight Nami already punch both of them in the head leaving a head bum "You guys, can't you be serious for a moment, goshh... " Nami holding his climac tact, "Haaiii Nami-san" Sanji ayes turn into love shape, "Tsk... Witch " Zoro muttered as he back to his sit.

"Luffy get himself an interesting crew" Shanks said to Ben.

"Gurararara...your little brother have an interesting crew Ace" White Bread say to his son, "He is, thought there's some people i haven't met back when i'm in Alabasta.

"That woman is scary... " One of the marines whispered to his friend.

The other sweat drop looking at the Straw Hat pirate's behavior, they didn't expected pirate's will act like that.

" As you already know, you guys are gonna watch Luffy's memories, even if you don't want it you have to in order to be able to leave, every one hour food will be served so don't worry about getting hungry and you will have some break between memories and if you have something to ask just called Zamarac, is that clear? "

Everyone nodding their head's, some still frowned didn't understand why they have to do that, some wear blank face.

Zam looked sastified, looks like he finally can start his job. A white screen appear infront of them, before the memories start Robin held her hand up "Zamarac." She said. Zamarac appeared besides her "What can i do my lady? " .

Sanji frowned he didn't like it Zam being so close to Robin "At least he has manners. " Sanji muttered.

"Is it alright to watched someone memories" She asked him "I mean we technically prying his privacy, do we even allowed to know that? " She's been bothered by that, they litteraly invaiding their captain personal life, she can't faced his captain face if they entering without permissions.

Ace glaring at Zam, what his little brother crew said was right, he didn't like it. "Ahhh... dont worry about it, worry about that later, now let's start".

In the back a certain blonde man looking at Ace, he held so many emotions right now, he want to showed himself as soon as he saw him standing there breathing fine, but he scared what his reaction towards him, 'Maybe i can ask Zam later...' The blonde thought to himself, Dragon noticed his second in command frowning, "Sabo, what's wrong ?" Sabo look at his chief " Nothing's wrong Dragon-san. " Dragon want to ask more but the screen start to lights up.

The screen started to show a small village, there's a tavern named 'Party Bar's "Hey, that's kinda like my place" Franky said.

Infront of the tavern, a young woman was sweeping the front. "Such a beutifull woman!, ahhhh i wish i could talk to her! " said Sanji started to do a weird dance, "Yohohohoho such a gorgeous lady, i wonder if she would show me her panties" Brook said joyfully and received Nami punch "Stop it!" she demand.

"What's with him? " Haruta ask look at Sanji with sweat drop, "Dont mind him, that's how he reacts towards woman's" Robin chukled, "Shitty cook" Zoro muttered, Marco could understand what they meant after all there is one on their ship who act like that, he glanced at Thatch, it's still weird to see your dead brother's and father here standing and alive.

"Ahhh makino-san it's been along time since we saw her, right captain" Lucky Roo said "Yeahh i wonder how is she right now" Said Shanks.

"But what is this place " Haruta asked glancing her ayes to the village houses, there's lot of windmills around there, "Come to think again, Luffy did mention his home town are full of windmill's" Chopper looked around, curious about his captain home town. "Yohohoho so this is Luffy home town such a lovely place".

"This is Fuschia village in Dawn Island, it's located in east blue, this is where Luffy and i grew up" Ace smile fondly remembering all the good times they had there.

"Makinooo!!! " they saw kid luffy probably five or six year old, running out of the forest, he look messy, his clothes are dirty and full of bruises "Ehhh luffy need to be treated!, quick who's the doctor ?!" Chopper panicked. "Chopper you are the doctor" Ussop said sweat drop.

"Ehhh that dog raccon is a doctor ?!" said one of the marines, Chopper who heard that start yelling "I am not a dog raccon you jerk, I am a reindeer !" Ussop tried to calm their doctor.

Makino braised the impact from Luffy running and hug her leg, with fear written in his face he said "Makinoo hide me!... gramps he's coming" kid Luffy beg her, she blinked a few second before lead him to the bar, she told him to duck under the bar table, Luffy look at her and put his finger to shush her. Makino just smiled fondly at Luffy. With that action the women's started to squiled about how cute Luffy was.

"Why can't Luffy stay that cute" Nami squiled " You're right navigator-san" Robin said as she looked at his captain child form. "You alright Ace..? " Marco asked Ace who has his mouth open "I forgot how cute he was when he a kid's" Ace beamed watching his baby brother. "My Luffy-kun is so adorable !!" Said Hancock.

"Does no one notice the pirate empress claimed Straw Hat her's? " Coby sweat drop.

"That's my grandson" Garp said proudly "What did you do that make him hiding from you" Sengoku ask "Nothing, i am just trained him with me" Garp said "More like abusing" Ace said nonchalantly, in the back the blonde man agreed and so does Dragon remembering his time with his father.

"Who's that woman Ace? " Thatch ask.

"She basically the one who take care Luffy before he met me" Ace answer without let his ayes go from Luffy.

"Ohh does that mean we can see kid Ace to?" Haruta ask excitedly.

"We got a chance to see what Ace looks like when he just a kid" White Bread laught, Ace frowned a bit he afraid what does his family will think about him, the way he act was different from now, Marco noticed Ace behavior but decide not to ask him.

A loud stomp's heard from the forest "Ahhh! there's a monster coming from the forest" Ussop and Chopper cried out, the bushes start moving and reveled Garp but much younger, wearing a casual clothes and slipper, holding a bottle of sake in his left hand.

"Holy shit, shitty gramps you look young!" Ace said to Garp.

Garp entered the tavern "Yo Makino, do you perhaps see Luffy around here ?" Garp ask while Makino wiping some glasses "What you make him do this time Garp-san? " Makino ask him back.

" She must have guts to put up someone like garp" Nami said, wondering who's this woman really are, they never heard it from luffy.

Garp took a sit on the counter and grab a bottle of crackers "That brat took off from me when i busy collected some balloons " Garp started to swallow the crackers "Ballons? What did you plan with that? " Makino put back the glasses to it place "I have to figure something out since that brat is horrible at swimming"

" I can swim to" Luffy shout but immediately close his mouth with his hands. "Luffy you're an idiot " Nami sigh.

"Ahhaa....there you are you little brat" Garp said and went to grab Luffy missing by the hair as luffy quickly dash towards Makino and hid behind her.

" Noooo...! Dont let him take me Makino, he's gonna kill me" Luffy pleaded.

"Dont be soft on him Makino, he's gonna be a marine you have to be trained hard" Garp tried to grab Luffy once more and this time he succeed "Gotcha!!" Said Garp while holding by his shirt "Marine?! " Luffy said while struggling "I am not gonna be a marine, i am gonna be a pirate" He declared.

"Did he just say he wants to be a pirate infront of a marine hero?" A pirate yelp "Even back then he got so many guts" Law said with sweat drop.

"Gurararara... What a cheeky brat" Said White Beard. "A pirate ?!, where the hell did you get that idea from?! , i am gonna knock some sense in those head" Garp said furiously and walking out of the tavern.

The scene change and now there in the forest with Luffy still struggling to let go his hand out of Garp grip. "Poor Luffy-san" Brook said.

"Let me go gramps, i dont want to train today! " he said "And that's what's make you weak, listen up Luffy you're gonna be a great marine that's why you have to do this from beginning " he pick up Luffy, dangling by the shirt, there's a big ravine underneath them.

"What is this place granpa? " Luffy said nervously "This is a bottomless ravine, tho it's not completely bottomless, apparently if you fall it take's three days to reach the bottom, now have a nice fall" "wait WHATT?! " The horror written clearly on Luffy face as Garp let go his grip, Luffy yelled all the way down.

"What the hell shitty gramps?! " Ace yelled worried about his baby brother, "Garp! That's not how raise a child " Sengoku scold him, even in the future the boy will become a dangerous pirate, he still a child.

"Calm down, he survived didn't he" Garp laught harder, Dragon now questioned his decision to let his father take care of his son. Sakazuki frowned he should have died that moment.

"Now i know where Luffy got his endless will to keep living" Zoro said while the other have some sweat drop, didn't believe that Luffy could survive his childhood like that.

The view change back to the tavern and Luffy at the front, he pushed the door and collapsed. "How's your adventured? It's been five day's " Garp ask he sit on the counter with bags of crackers.

"Five day's?! " Thacth now feeling the urge to punch garp in the face, Luffy only 6 six years old, no child should have through that. "The wounds have to be treated right away " Chopper said frantically, he can't help it he's a doctor it's his job to treated hurt people, to think that his captain hurting and he cant do anything it's annoying. Now everyone looked at garp questioning his method raising a child

Makino picked up Luffy and put him besides Garp on the counter. "I was chased by a giant bear" Luffy answered his grand father question. "A giant bear ?!" Ussop freak out "How the hell did he survived that yoi? " Marco look baffled, he only met the kid at the war field he knew that the boy is strong, but to think he had to be strong from a young age.

"Bhawawawawa, but you survived right and that's all matter" Garp continued to eat the crackers " I noticed the village looks peaceful this day's" Makino put a plate of food infront of Luffy who gladly started to swallow them all. "Even back then he have big appetite " Sanji sigh remembering amount of the food his captain can eat.

"I am sure it's because your warship that docked here" Said Makino as she treated Luffy wounds and bandaged him. Chopper glad someone took care Luffy wounds.

Garp grab the bags of crackers and get up, " I am gonna go back to HQ, they needed more hand's so i have to leave him with you for a few month" Garp said and look at Makino "Take care of that brat Makino" Makino smile "I loved to have Luffy around Garp-san, Oh and make sure to call beforehand so we can covered up the crackers for the next visit"

"She sure is a tought women" Franky commented. "Just like that, you leave your grand son just like that?!. " Said Nami.

The scene change when Makino put on Luffy clothes and lead him to bed, he full of bandages. After covering Luffy with blanket, Makino kiss Luffy's fore head and head downstairs.

"Awww... She's like a mother or an older sister for him" Robin said in awe. Garp thinking maybe he should give more credit to Makino for taking care of Luffy, Dragon make mental note someday he will visit dawn island to thank her personaly.

In the back Sabo think he should do it know before it's to late, "Zamarac!" Sabo whispered hoping he would respond, 'Yes? Do you need something? ' Zam answered, "What the ?!, where are you?! " He whispered again looking around for the sign of the man. 'I am in your head silly, i dont want to go back there, it's to crampy, let's forget about that what do you need?' .

Sabo blinked before asking' So you can hear my thought ?'.

'Correct, and i also thought you want this to be private ' Said Zam .

'Ummm yeahh about that... I have a favor to ask. ' Sabo explained everything.

'You think you can do that? ' Sabo hesitant, 'Sure, i can manage it but the rest is up to you'. Sabo glad, that's all he need.

The memories faded "Hey what happened? " Ace ask "Obviously Luffy started to sleep and we need a break." Zam answered.
