Summary
They lost. All of them. Despite Luffy's boundless enthusiasm they had lost. Even if Imu was dead, even if the Elders were dead. Too many had died and too much blood drenched the earth and Sea to consider this a victory. And now all that was left was an old man too stubborn to die and the echo of a god parading in his grandson's skin.
Luffy had died, burned from within by his devil fruit powers and what remained was Nika, watching Garp with a heavy gaze.
"I am sending you back," the god decreed. Not asked, not suggested. Merely stated his decision as simply as one would state the sky is blue. No longer laughing, no, Nika had stopped laughing since Luffy had stopped existing. Now he was serious in a way that made Garp understand he had no choice in the matter.
"Back to the beginning. Back to when you could have still changed things."
"Why?"
The man couldn't help but choke out the one word question. Why me, when he was worthless, had done nothing that could convince the god he could actually change things. Why now, why not earlier, when Luffy was alive, when Sabo was alive, when children who had actually made a change would have had the chance to go back.
