I know you're way past this chapter but I thought I should say you should never skip a backstory for a character that is important to the story, you never know who may not have seen the anime or read the manga, and for those that have done either it allows them to know what may have changed in the past as a result of the changes you made

After the reveal that Luffys Fruit is really the Sun God Nika fruit, you giving him the Sun logia fruit is kind of funny.

God damn, I had been looking forward to seeing how the fight with Croc and the others would pan out, you haven't disappointed! That was an awesome chapter :D was pleasantly surprised to see this story had an update, had to re-tead the last chapter to remember where we were up to. Wishing you all the best and hope you had a good weekend!

I love confrontation between Luffy and Crocodile. It was built up really well. First Luffy fought with Rokushiki and Crocodile did not see him as a serious threat. Mind game with use of informations from Robin to unhinge Crocodile was really nice. Then sun sun fruit is used and Luffy learn how glass is made while Crocodile learn that he is on wrong end of Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors. Fact itself was no surprise at all but it was depicted in such a way that for me rival beginning of canon fought between Luffy and Enel.

Nami will probably be unaffected by any face Mr. 2 can take so it will be pure battle of strength, cunning and skills.

Vivi use of Haoshoku Haki was excellent scene both for her being motivated to use it and not notice. She was lucky to catch infiltrator, you are right about tattoos stupidity.

I like how Usopp focused and used dog in battle. Miss Valentine don’t fighting tactically because of rage was and learning from her mistake was also interesting event.

Miss Doublefinger fight was interesting because Chopper didn't had time to become adaptation badass. Still thanks to clever thinking (fur and horns spikes immunity) he won.

Mr. 1 and Sanji had lots of nice jokes about chef and knives. Tekkai was very useful in this fight and its limitations were addressed as well. Of course Diable jambe was used to overcome steel like durability of the opponent. In short opponents swap keep those fights fresh.

I love the fic, in fact I follow all the One Piece fics you write.

However, you make (in my opinion) the same mistake as some others, well it's not a mistake as such, rather you take a bad decision, and in your case that's the only thing that screws up the fic for me, Vivi.

I'm not telling you that I dislike her, however I don't see her nor will I ever see her as a pirate, in any One Piece fic that includes her in the band, I skip her interactions as much as possible, because although the Mugiwara can be dumber, relaxed, different from the typical bloodthirsty pirates, that does not mean that they are not pirates.

And Vivi tends to think like a princess, a good princess, who looks after her people, who loves her people, and as a princess her first reaction will be diplomacy, not violence.

That already separates her from her Nakamas, now you have come to deepen my... dislike for Vivi by giving her, without any support, Haki, not just one, because giving her the Kenbunshoku already seems silly to me, but giving her the Haoshoku seems laughable to me as minimum.

That's the only point where you're really ruining one of my favorite One Piece fics.

Anyway, great work, good chapter and I hope the continuation soon.

This is really fun to read. I hope to see more soon!

Phenomenal chapter.
