Well, it is a fanfic, just not based on the characters that we know. It's the same exact world, and whatever happens in the canon series also happened in this fanfic, it's just focused on another pirate who wants to find the treasure.

As you saw from the first entry, Smoker pushed around the crowd to get a better view of Roger's execution. This happened in the anime.

Now this chapter made a 22 year timeskip, which is about the time Luffy began his adventure. So while Luffy is heading for the Grand Line, Nada is too.
