Hrm been a while hasn't it? Sorry 'bout that my family's peparing to move and I've been pretty busy.
Anyway here's an island you might like.
Name: Gauntlet island.
Season: Spring (because of it's unpredictable weather
Geographical features: Lot's of hills, pretty water falls, it varies where you go mostly.
Ownership: I'll keep that a scret PM if you want details.
Marine Presence: Not a lot.
Location: Grand line.
Notable residents: Champions of tournaments. (don't feel like goin' into detail
Special Features: Gauntlet island features combat for every type of fighter in what's known as the Tournament of The Underworld. Where if you so choose you can fight to the death for grand cash prizes or little fights for other items such as necessary supplies.
Size: large.
Notable resident species: Well whatever pets competitors leave behind: I.e a monkey with a tendecy to pull hair, parrots, dogs (not Hayate-kun though), sometimes for sick pleasure they run illegal animal fights that aren't well liked.
Arc ideas: If they're ever desperate for beri they can enter a tournament for money.
I love Specter's logic about luck. I can't help but wonder what kind of trouble he'll find. The geyser elevator sounds like a cool idea. I'm guessing that the man was one of the people after the Alexander and the other human weapons, or does Alexander just have REALLY bad luck? I can't wait to see what happens to the others update soon.
The one thing FF has to change is reviews allowed per chapter... Anyway, here's the islands I said I was gonna make!
For Saga of the Infinty Pirates
Name: Turbine Island
Season: Summer
Geographical Features
The island is a desert and has brick red sand due to high amounts of clay mixed in. The island's namesake is the multiple tunnels and strange rock formations on the island that cause gale wind force, shooting you through and around them as if you were in a turbine. Some routes have been planned out and the turbines are used to transport people and items throughout the island. There is an entrance to a particularly dangerous turbine right near the docks that is very easy to fall into. This turbine goes deep underground before shooting you high into the air, causing you to crash land in the very centre of town.
Ownership: Yonkou (Adriana
Marine Presence: None whatsoever except for the occasional docking of a marine ship and crew.
Location: Grand Line
Notable Residents
Funanori
He's the man that helps ships moor at the docks, and then escorts them into town. He is very knowledgeable about the island and he was the first one that "The Empusa" met when she came to the island. He has light blonde hair, dark eyes and he stands about 5"4. He always wears a yellow rain jacket regardless of the weather, so you don't see his clothes underneath. He is very friendly about the topic of the Yonkou, and gladly welcomes pirates to the island.
Supamu
He is the mayor of the town, and the person most afraid of Adriana on the island. Even the mere mention of her name makes him duck down and cover his head. He is a very good leader for his town though, and he makes pirates stay on the outside of town lest they get into a fight and wreck everything. He is a short, stubby little man who likes to talk with big words. He has an extremely long mustache, and he takes extreme pride in it, and he normally mistakes what people are saying as them complimenting it. He normally wears a black suit and a blue tie, and has black hair and dark skin.
Special Features
Windy Village
Generally called "The Town" by locals and frequent visitors. It has a number of stores, selling everything ranging from food to raw materials to blood (due to the island's ownership). Almost everyone who lives on the island has a house in Windy Village, although there are people who moved through the turbines to outlying areas.
Size (a rough estimate is fine. Small, medium, large, extra large. Medium, assuming extra large is a continent like Alabasta, large is like God's land in Skypiea, medium is like Water 7 and small is like the Island of Rare Creatures.
Notable Resident Species
Tunnel Bats
Black bats that are relatively harmless. They are very small their nests consist of thousands of them. They roost in the turbines, and they burrow into the walls. They are easily startled and are commonly found in less used turbines.
Turbine Wolves
The only main threat on the island. They are brick red wolves that make their dens on the ends of turbines. They have sleek fur that allows them to zoom through the turbines faster than humans and their claws are sharp enough to stop them even when they're inside a turbine. They prey on anything that comes within a twenty meter radius and they have an amazing sense of smell but bad eyesight.
Desert Chipmunks
Cute lite creatures that live in the desert and are common house pets. They are completely harmless and even wild ones will let you pet them and feed them.
Desert Squirrels
While almost identical to the desert chipmunks, the squirrels have a slightly darker shade of fur and are extremely violent. Although they can't actually do much damage they will leave more than a few scratch marks if you attempt to get near them, let alone pick them up or feed them.
Arc Ideas (not necessary I was thinking that it could be a destination on the grand line that Mikoto could consider a break from "hard" bad guys. When he arrives he could fall through the dangerous turbine near the docks, and while they're on the island they could learn about the Yonkou, especially Adriana.
For Iron Hammer of Justice
Name: Piston Island
Season (If not in Grand Line, leave blank N/A
Geographical Features
It is a completely mechanically made island, not unlike Thriller Bark, except the mechanism that run the island are clearly visible and make up most of the landscape. The land rises up in the middle in a hill type form with a single house at the top.
Ownership (Yonkou, Marines, other Marines.
Marine Presence (just cause an island is owned by the Marines doesn't mean Marines present It is Fleet Admiral McAdams Ambrose's vacation home, and when he is not otherwise occupied he will normally be here.
Location (North/East/South/West Blue, Calm Belt, Grand Line, New World, Skypiea Whichever blue Alexander is in currently (You never really specified).
Notable Residents (mountain bandits, Marine captains, the mayor
Circe
She is the caretaker of the island, and the only one who talks to Ambrose on a regular basis. She and the Fleet Admiral are good friends, and have known each other for a long time. She is a middle aged woman, and stands about 5"7. She has long blonde hair that is usually in a ponytail and she wears thin rimmed glasses. She normally wears a blue business suit and 3 inch heels.
Fleet Admiral McAdams Ambrose
Special Features
The Fleet Admiral's Vacation Home
It is located in the center of the island and it is where the Fleet Admiral lives. He is extremely comfortable here, and will often order marines to meet him in his house instead of at any marine bases. It has hundreds of rooms, each with a different purpose.
Size (a rough estimate is fine. Small, medium, large, extra large. Small
Notable Resident Species: Clockwork servants.
Arc Ideas (not necessary
It could be where the Fleet Admiral is introduced, and where Alexander gets the details of what happened with "Mr B" and "Mrs C".
An interesting chapter to say the least. The team has split up, and Alexandet has stumbled upon a plot of some sort, one that includes sabotage and suicide... I can't wait to see where this goes! Also, thanks for the shout out and for adding in the island form! I think I'll go add make one now...
Attacks
Wind Style-Reverse Turn Blow: Sean’s arm becomes surrounded in a whirlwind and he uses the increased power of his fist to strike an opponent
Qi Style-Cannon: The way the technique is executed is quite simple: It appears to be just a simple palm-thrust technique against the opponent. However, the affect is powerful enough to leave a silhouette of his palm on his opponent.
Soul Crushing Strike: Sean charges a small amount of qi in his fist before strike an opponent with a seemingly normal punch, until they notice they’re bones are cracked or worse broken
God Hand: With a good amount of haki and qi around his hand, Sean deals a devastating blow to Logia type users and Devil Fruit users in general
Serpent Fists: Sean’s arms vanish before the opponent is hit by various punches and blows from different angles
Wind Style-Reverse Turn Kick: Sean performs an overhead axe-kick that releases qi, similar to Soul-Crushing Strike. It has been said to cut several feet straight through the ground
Wind Step: A move Sean uses to sneak up to his opponent, his brother and sister refer to it as Stagger but his way of doing it and their way of doing are completely different. His brother and sister fade out, whereas he simply disappears completely from sight.
Iron Style-Iron Claw: A technique in which Sean makes his hands and fingers hard enough to be able to rip flesh, bones and even steel.
Iron Style- Iron Body: When using this technique the body becomes as "hard as forged steel." When Sean uses this technique he is able to punch through reinforced concrete and is able to deflect and redirect a cannon ball. Its weakness: Hardening the body also slows its movement and although the users body is hard as steel, the eyes are not.
Earth Style- Earth Stomp: Sean uses one leg to stomp the ground. The technique is capable of crushing concrete and literally cut flesh and bone.
Black Moon’s Technique: The specifics of the technique are never said in detail, but it is implied that the technique allows Sean to become many times stronger than he would be without it. Despite its advantages, it is notorious for its extreme difficulty to use…
The final stage of the technique, called the New Moon, allows Sean to access monstrous quantities of physical strength at the cost of rational thought. While in this state, Sean’s fighting style becomes animalistic, with no form and only focuses on destruction and power.
So far the only one able to subdue him is Akiba, who is required to travel with him at all times.
Physical Appearance: Sean is a tall, slender yet toned man, who has various scars on his body, he has very little on his face, except for a scar on his cheek. Like his brother he is dark skinned but he appears to be lighter than his brother. His face is stern looking and very distinguished, which is complemented by the way he dresses, wearing a white suit over a blue dress shirt and wearing a white tie, as well as wearing loafers, and his black hair that is neatly combed unlike his brothers.
History: Raised in family of naval officers it was obvious that Sean and his brother were going to be groomed and made into fine officers. He was trained heavily in martial arts and Qi manipulation, making him an excellent fighter and his high intelligence made him a good tactician. As he, his brother and Akiba grew up to be apart of the Navy, Sean moved up to become Admiral as his brother and stepsister became Vice Admirals
Family
? Yukarin (Mother –Deceased
Jiro Yukarin (Little Brother
Akiba (Little Stepsister
Personality: Sean is the type of person that acts before he thinks. He can never just sit and watch as someone is in trouble and will go to great lengths to protect or help the person; though he might think twice about helping a pirate. This he does at great risk to himself, and it typically results in him being hospitalized for several different injuries. When fighting seriously against a particularly strong opponent, casually jokes around and toys with them though he is being serious about the fight, giving a false sense of overconfidence.
Likes: Akiba, Jiro, training, arresting pirates and cleaning up the world
Dislikes: People who use martial arts for cruelty, accidentally hurting someone, Jiro’s lack of motivation and anyone who dares to touch his brother or sister
Goals (Or Dreams if you prefer Protecting his family
Other: His abilities have set him in a disposition to the fleet admiral, who may consider him a liability. And everyone could see him as a dangerous man even with his calm attitude.
Specialty/Position: Lieutenant (Merciful Justice
Race: Human
Weapon: Law Order- Two short wooden katanas that Akiba wears along her lower back for easy access
Attacks
Stagger: Akiba simply vanishes for a moment before appearing behind her opponent or retreating from her opponent.
Shadow Step: This move is used to disorient her opponent by creating multiples of herself using her afterimages.
7 Lances: Akiba thrusts at her opponent, using either Law or Order, but instead of getting hit in just a single point, her opponent will get hit in several spots. Can be upgraded to 42 Lances but she can only use it once at that level.
Burst: Akiba charges qi into her arm before striking at an opponent sending an explosion through their body. Packs enough force to destroy rocks.
Breaker: Akiba uses Shadow Step around her opponent before appearing behind them, her opponent seems normal until a second passes and their body recognizes all the blows
Iron Body: Uses this instead of the Navy taught Tekkai because it allows her body to become harder than steel with needing to stop moving and it is more indestructible than Tekkai. Her speed is greatly decreased though. And her eyes remain a weakpoint.
Double-Fangs: Holding the blades in a fashion that befits a swordsman. She spins her body at a rapid pace as she rushes past an opponent, hitting them with two spiral cuts.
Mutoryu(No Sword Style)-Invisible: Rushing past her opponent she delivers a quick slash with no blade but this move can surprisingly cut into a opponent, not as strong as Jiro’s.
Physical Appearance: Akiba has a athletic body that curves in ‘areas’, she is short- about 4’9, her hair is short and a fiery red, she has fair skin with a slight tan every now and then, she has a single scar on her back from protecting Jiro, she has ‘Justice’ tattooed on both her left and right hands. Her attire is best described as dark; she wears a jet black suit, with a pair of unisex pants covering, shades covering her eyes, gloves over her hands, also she does wear a navy issued jacket draped over her shoulders.
History: Not really too sure about it herself, She does know Jiro and Sean found her as she was wondering around looking for something. They took her in as their own and she was beginning to learn martial arts from the two. Years passed by as they trained and trained to become Marines and when they were accepted, Akiba became more motivated to work on her skills and quickly rose to the rank of Vice Admiral along with her older brother.
From then she has continued to work with the government to get rid of
Family
? Yukarin (Foster Mother –Deceased
Jiro Yukarin (Stepbrother
Sean Yukarin (Older Stepbrother
Personality: Akiba is extremely loyal, though at times she can be a little stubborn and naive. She has a tendency to rush into things with no foresight. She tends to only use her martial arts for defense rather that a weapon and when a criminal doesn’t attack her she’ll valiantly refuse to strike them. She will fiercely defend her brothers if they appear to be in danger. Akiba has a habit nibbling on her thumbnail when in deep thought. She has an extreme fear of heights and will go into the fetal position, unless one of her brothers is along with her, but even then she’ll shiver and shake clinging to their arm. Battles are a no-go in high places
Likes: Flan, the unusual flags that pirates sometimes sport, relaxing with Jiro, Steak, Seafood, loves to read an new or exciting books, and his brothers
Dislikes: Anyone who harms her brother, showoffs, criminals, execution of innocent people, excessive violence, people who fight for sport, and violent people in general.
Goals (Or Dreams if you prefer To make her brothers proud
Other: Has Latent-Haki ability and could learn God Hand from Sean

Full Name: Jiro Yukarin
Aliases (or nicknames White-Mane Lion
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Specialty/Position: Vice Admiral (Lazy Justice
Race: Human
Weapon: An old and completely dull sword named Windmill.
Attacks
Stagger: Jiro simply vanishes for a moment before appearing behind his opponent or retreating from his opponent
Shadow Step: This move is used to disorient his opponent by creating multiples of himself using afterimages
Run Through: Jiro quickly rushes past his opponent striking them with Windmill
7 Lances: Jo thrusts at his opponent, using either Windmill, but instead of getting hit in just a single point, his opponent will get hit in several spots. Unlike Akiba, his can be upgraded to 72 Lances; he can also use it twice at that level

Whip: Jiro manages to make his blade act like a whip; lashing out at his opponent from various directions
Mutoryu(No Sword Style)-Invisible: Like Run Through but it can actually cut through an opponent
Mutoryu -Needle: Jiro seems to stab into his opponent with his ‘blade’ and the opponent should feel as if a dozen swords ripped through their body
Mutoryu -500 Pound Slash: Jiro sends a wave of air at an opponent with 500 pounds of force.
Mutoryu- Deathbound: An attack where Jiro performs Invisible but with a slight difference. Once Invisible is performed, multiple slashes begin to hit the opponent seemingly out of nowhere
Physical Appearance: He is an average size man with a bushy unkempt mess of whit hair on his head, contrasting with his dark skin and red eyes. He has a few scars on his chest and a single stitch on his shoulder. He wears his naval jacket over his shoulders as a make-shift cape. He also wears a white headband on his forehead to match his overall style. But the most noticeable parts of his outfit are the pair of yellow geta on his feet and large hunk of metal draped across his shoulder. The metal is makeshift weapon for whenever he may lose Windmill.
History: Jiro had been raised and groomed alongside his brother, to be a naval officer just like their teacher, their mother. When she died they continued to train, the two trained day in and day out in order to prepare for the Navy. Then Akiba came along and the two of them acted as her guardians and her trainers, Jiro decided to take her in as a disciple but Sean didn’t see the point in having a disciple about the same age as the master and a family member at that. Even with Sean doubting, Jiro made himself into Akiba’s master of sorts and over the years she excelled and all three were accepted into the Navy with their impressive style of martial arts.
Family
? Yukarin (Mother -Deceased
Sean Yukarin (Brother
Akiba (Little Sister/Disciple
Personality: Like most members of the Navy, he is lawful though he has a lazy way of showing it. He prefers to find peaceful resolutions to problems, not because he wants to be peaceful, it’s because he’d rather not fight. If he ever finds himself in a battle, he prefers to avoid fighting if possible or to finish the fight as quickly as possible. He seems to like to read and write and will often read on his free time. He likes to boss Akiba around though most of the time it doesn’t work the way he planned.
Likes: Rice, Ramen, Mystery novels, cooking, sleeping, and relaxing
Dislikes: Working, getting lectured, losing, losing his books and missing a large fight
Goals (Or Dreams if you prefer To protect the world from the threat of Pirates
Wow, a crazed torturer, a potentail assassination attempt, and Taka. This next arc soundsvery interesting. It was nice to see just how serious Alexander can be when he needs to be, and it was nice to see Rina and Specter showing some worry for their captain, even if Specter tried to blow up the door. Update soon.
So they're on their way to interrogate a Taka member... The Taka member who happens to be heavily involved in Rina's past. Isn't it nice when things just happen? But seriously, this is a REALLY good chapter. I really liked how you showed Alexander's inner conflict over telling his crew, and now that he has decided not to tell them about the Homunculus project, I wonder if and how they'll find out in the future... Keep on writing!
Once again, Alexander magaes to make someone mad, at least he was able to patch things up with Akane before she left, and maybe now he knows not to listen to Specter. I can't wait to see what White has planned and for the next arc. Update soon.
Miscommunication, one of the biggest sources for arguments. A good chapter, and I can't wait to see where both Akane and Marcus end up. So, Alexander is White's new target, which means the hunt has started, just like we all knew it would. Like I said before, a really good chapter. Update soon!
