But if you were on the ship, it would still be 100 years is my point.

No, to you on the ship, you'd just teleport instantly. Or at slightly below the speed of light, it'd still be a lot quicker than 100 years.

To an observer on earth. But not to you on the ship. If you had a telescope on a ship travelling towards earth near the speed of light, it may feel like a day to you (depending on speed), and if you looked at Earth through the telescope, it would look like Earth was going in fast-forward so fast that 100 years only takes one day.
