Memories [ One Piece ASL Story]

Chapter 7: Windmill Village

Luffy's POV

After a few minutes, I got to Windmill village. It looked about the same since I was last here. I was looking around, filled with nostalgia. Eventually I walked up to The Party's Bar. This was where it all started. The same place I ate the gum gum fruit and started my goal to becoming The King Of The Pirates.

I entered the bar, and walked toward the same seat I once sat in as a kid. I looked around, much like outside, the bar looked about identical as I remembered it. Makino appeared from the back with a few cups. She placed them down and started cleaning one.

"What can I do for you today?" She asked as her face stared down at the cup.

I placed both hands and weight on top of the table.

"Hey Makino! It's Luffy, remember?" I smiled.

She quickly looked up and her faces became shocked.

"L-Luffy?!" She questioned in awe.

We stared for a second.

"Been a while, huh?" I giggled.

She looked at the scar I had on my chest, along with my outfit. She then turned to my face and hair.

"I'm sorry, but you are definitely not Luffy." She stated.

I looked at her confused.

"I don't know how you got those scars, and I especially don't know how you got that hat, but impersonating a kid doesn't make any sense." She placed the cup she was holding on the counter and focused her attention to me.

"I'm not impersonating anyone, it's actually me." I replied.

Makino looked down and quickly grabbed my hand. She dragged me through the curtains and to a back room.

She turned to a coworker. "Can you deal with the bar for a little bit?"

They nodded and walked outside the room.

Makino let go of my hand and she grabbed two chairs.

"Sit." She spoke as she sat herself down.

I did what I was told and looked around the room. The walls were a green-ish blue color. There were tons of boxes and shelves.

"Start from the beginning, tell me everything." Makino stated.

"Okay! Let's see..." I looked up to the ceiling, thinking where to start.

"My crew and I were saving Sanji, who is also part of my crew but he left. So on the way we ran into Sabo and his friends, but Chopper talked about something that could help beat Big mom so we went to look for it. When we got to the island, we found an old castle and went through a secret room. Me and Sabo both touched this weird device thing and we got teleported back here."

Makino looked completely stunned. She was in shock from what she just heard. The room was quiet, the only noise remained outside.

"I have no clue what your talking about. You said you have a crew, and that you were going to fight some Pirates to save your friend?" She questioned.

"Yeah, Sanji's the cook of my crew!" I replied.

"Oh! This is a game you Ace and Sabo made up!" She smiled. "I get it now, although, that doesn't explain your body and scars..."

I got up and crossed my arms.

"I'm confused, this isn't a game!" I replied.

I removed my red vest and pointed to the scar on my chest.

"During the battle at Marineford, I got this scar trying to save Ace!!" I spoke, slightly in an angry tone.

"What do you mean save Ace?" She stood up as well.

"Did you loose your memory or something?!" I walked over and grabbed her shirt.

"He was beaten by Blackbeard and sent to Impel down! I tried to help him but he went to Marineford to get executed!"

My face felt hot, so I lowered my voice.

"He died because he wouldn't let Akainu talk trash about Whitebeard. He died because I was stupid and went after his vivre card." I looked to the floor.

Makino looked away as well.

"How about we go to Dadan's place? Maybe we can find some answers over there?" She stated.

"Okay!" I gave her a thumbs up and grinned.

Sabo's POV

Minutes flew by as I stared at the flowing grass surrounding the area. I didn't know what to do or think. My mind wandered back to the memories I once forgotten. It was all of us but as kids, this wasn't an illusion.

"Wait if that was us....then..." I whispered.

My eyes widened and I stood up from the ground.

"Are we in the past?"

I started running in the direction of Windmill Village.

"If Luffy doesn't know it's the past yet, who knows what he could mess up?! Not only that but maybe the thing we held can get us back to the future."

After a few minutes of running I managed to get to Gray Terminal. I started looking around for the device that brought us here. I couldn't waste any time looking for it though, my priority was Luffy.

As I travelled, my eyes caught wind of a straw hat.

"Hey!" I shouted as I waved my arms in the air.

"Hm?" He caught my attention and gasped. "Hey Sabo!!!!!" He yelled.

My hand came to my lips and I gave him a shush gesture. My mouth let out a small "shush" noise despite him being unable to hear me.

His head tilted to the side and had a confusing look on his face. When I got there, I grabbed his arm and pulled close.

"Luffy, did you tell anyone about how we got here or anything about what happened with Ace?" I whispered.

"Just Makino, why?" Luffy questioned.

I turned over to my left to see Makino give me a concerned look.

I sighed. "Please, both of you come with me. We need to talk about a few things." I slid my hand to Luffys hand and grabbed Makino's hand.
