If you were to reuse this series in your "Towering Memories And Dreams" story, then I hope you will at least take into consideration that Luffy might have picked up psionic residue from Zoro, Sanji, and Robin's shadows, due to how the four of them were indirectly exposed to each others' respective shadows because of Moria's Shadow Asgard technique.

That way, the counterfeit case could be featured due to the mastermind behind it being the weapons shop owner who gave Zoro his two replacement swords.

As for the idea of introducing the Straw Hats to the holiday of Christmas through the Dream Memories; The fact that Luffy was stockpiling psionic residue from at least 1000 (if he was indirectly exposed through his own shadow to the hundred shadows he was previously infused with) individuals, Moria included, might have left him subconsciously susceptible to the dimensional vibration frequency of an Earth reality.

At least it would explain why the Spider Monkey part was included in this dream, since Luffy was indirectly exposed to Robin's shadow through his own when they were stored inside Moria's body.

Too bad that only Nami witnessed Gedatsu and only Chopper encountered him since if either Zoro or Robin had caught glimpses of him, then his presence would have been justified.

The Dream Selves of Zoro, Sanji, and Robin would have been able to provide their own individual points of view if you had taken that detail into consideration when writing this chapter.

However, that would be like assuming that Moria would have gotten a subconscious understanding of Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Robin's respective combat styles as well as their individual know-how such as Sanji's cooking and Robin's ability to read Poneglyphs.
Well, the effect of consciously knowing those things was stated to be temporary, so I guess it did not really matter all that much.

As a tidbit to point out, here is what could have happened if the Straw Hats besides Luffy had been infused with each others' shadows:
1) Zoro
Example: Brook's shadow would provide Zoro with an alternative swordsmanship-based combat style.
2) Nami
Example: Zoro's shadow would grant Nami an understanding of Topographic Disorientation, as well as motivating her to become a makeshift kendoka.
3) Usopp
Example 1: Putting Nami's shadow into Usopp might grant him her navigational skills, but most likely let him utilize the Jojutsu and Bojutsu skills that Nami might possess.
Example 2: Placing Franky's shadow inside Usopp could improve the engineering skills of the ship's sniper.
4) Sanji
Example: Brook's shadow would grant Sanji improved ballet-related skills in the form of fencing, and the ability to use rhythm to express a metaphorical analog between music and cooking.
5) Chopper
Example 1: Inserting Usopp's shadow into Chopper might provide a long-range variety of Brain Point's Scope ability, improved understanding of chemistry, and temporary resistance to Usopp's lies.
Example 2: Sanji's shadow would grant Chopper a more versatile understanding of chemistry, including the applications of combining medicine with the culinary arts.
6) Robin
Example: Infusing her with Chopper's shadow might allow her to become as much of a paleontologist as an archaeologist as a byproduct of acquiring Chopper's medical expertise.
7) Franky
Example: Infusing him with Robin's shadow might allow him to function as a miyadaiku, a carpenter who specializes in cultural accuracy regarding the building and maintenance of Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, and Japanese teahouses, due to assimilating/processing Robin's passion for history.
8) Brook
Example 1: Zoro's shadow could provide Ittoryu techniques.
Example 2: Sanji's shadow could provide skills within the culinary arts, along with an unarmed combat style.
Example 3: Chopper's shadow could provide a better understanding of bone structure beyond Sanji's know-how.

Additionally, Brook's shadow would provide a better understanding of rhythm for any of the Straw Hats if it was inserted into any of their bodies.

Ace really fell for a "Yo daddy" joke and died like a bum ass nigga.
Seriously, in the manga, Akainu looks legitimately baffled that Ace fell for it. His expression screams "Huh? This dude unironically fell for a 5-year-old's tactic?" Then Ace gets clapped. It's fucking hilarious.

(the vivi guy) reread all the chapter, realize I grossly exaggerated my review. At least in the end, my apologies. Ps you handle Omatsuri island perfectly.

I don't appreciate the crew reaction here. I mean i can understand them being annoyed with Vivi with the captain remark, but they don't seem to appreciate a showing Vivi’s strengths.

Vivi’s understanding of diplomacy and leadership are unique among the crew. Luffy can draw people to him with his innate charisma and charm, but he’s not actually great at thinking through his decisions and planning ahead (Zoro and Nami usually handle that for him.) The story VALUES this about Vivi. If she hadn’t handled this so well the situation would have been disastrous. Not just that, ONLY Vivi could have done this. If you gave Vivi’s role here to someone else it wouldn’t have worked. And then to see Luffy acknowledge this too, and make the subtext text, is really important. Oda really wanted to make sure you didn’t miss it.

Plus, NO ONE TOLD VIVI ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN, Not Chopper, not Doctorine, NOBODY! If she learned about the mountain she would have apologized for the captain remark!

You know, I can see this happening in Dressrosa

"OWW! WHY THE FUCK YOU HIT ME!" Sabo snapped.

"You know why." Robin hissed

"Ah, for Luffy sake" Sabo stated

"Why didn't you tell him-"

"I will answer all questions, but only AFTER the Dressrosa situation is address." Sabo stated "And if you and Luffy other nakama would still like to gut me like a fish, so be it. But right now, Luffy needs our help in crushing Don Flamingo."

Robin eyes narrowed but ultimately nodded.

(During the Dressrosa park arc)

The memories seem to crackle and hiss.

"Whats happening!" Zoro frowned

"My guess, Sugar power is starting to affect us." Robin frowned

"Sugar?" Jinbe asked confused

"One of Donquixote special officer." Usopp sneered. "She ate the Hobby-Hobby Fruit."

"Sugar used her powers to transform the citizens of Dressrosa and losers of the Corrida Colosseum into toys, The toys, in turn, have all memories of their existence forgotten by any who knew of them. As such, the power is known by its victims as the Hobi Hobi Curse." Robin stated

"Then this static is-" Jinbe said.

"That brat power at work while her victim are erased from memory, yes." Usopp frowned.

(For the Katakuri fight

SHUNK! Without warning...he stabbed himself in the stomach with his own spear...the blood splattering onto Flampe's cheek.

"H...huh?!" she gasped.

"Master Katakuri!" cried one of Flampe's men. "What have you done?!"

"He...he stabbed himself...?" Nami whispered shocked. "But why?"

"Isn't it obvious," Zoro said with some new found respect "his sister interfered with there duel, He chose to do the honorable thing by injuring himself so the fight would be more even,"

"...W... Why!" Flampe cried.

Katakuri said nothing as he reached for his scarf. "In a duel between men..." He then pulled his scarf off, revealing his gaping mouth full of sharp fangs, "THE LAST THING I NEED IS SOME HALF-ASSED ASSISTANCE!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Flampe shrieked as she rolled away from him, accidentally hitting her head on the wall as her minions looked shocked at his feature.

"If your going to laugh at that idiot..." Katakuri growled, "then you might as well laugh at me, too!"

"...You...Katakuri..." Usopp whispered amazed.

"Damn bro!" Franky sniffed "I know he's the enemy, but that is one honorable bastard!"

As for Flampe...she stared up at her older brother, the man who she always thought was perfect, with tears in her eyes.

"...So Lame..." she hissed.

"Yeah! What a letdown!" agreed one of her men.

"I can't believe you got your disgusting blood on me!" Flampe shouted as she wiped her cheek. "What are you thinking?! Why would you stab yourself, and for some lowlife rookie?! You're supposed to be perfect! Look at the gross way your mouth goes all the way to your ears! You look like a pelican eel!"

Upon hearing that, Flampe's men couldn't get the image out of their head and started breaking out in full-blown laughter while Flampe spat out her gum, which landed on Katakuri's cheek.

"What the hell wrong with her!" Nami hissed.

Sanji just frowned, remembering how Pudding reacted to that compliment, as if that was the first genuine nice thing someone said about her... Tottoland is basically the same as the Germa kingdom, an abusive parents turning there children into monsters whether the kids want to or not.

"...Hmph," Katakuri scoffed as he turned away from Flampe and her jeers.

"What are you idiots doing?!" Flampe questioned as she looked to her fan club. "Don't let that freak get away! Take photos so we can show everyone how hideous his face looks!"

The fan club started using their Mini Transponder Snail cameras to take pictures of Katakuri, who just nonchalantly walked past them

"We're going to send these photos to everyone in the fan club!" Flampe called with a cruel smile. "To every island in Totto Land! You'll regret splattering your filthy, imperfect blood on me and threaten the most popular sibling! I'm even ashamed to say I'm your biological sister!" Flampe continued to taunt as her minion kept taking pictures. Again, Katakuri ignore them ...and stood in front of Luffy.

"Sorry about this." Katakuri apologized "I was sloppy. I failed to notice that tiny needle"

"It was my fault for not noticing it." Luffy stated "Besides, There's no such thing as fighting dirty between pirates."

"True," Robin admitted, though with a grin. it's honestly a breathe of fresh air seeing an opponent like this one.

"It's even more annoying to lay eyes on you two!" Flampe sneered as she pulled out her blowgun "I'll shoot highly venomous needles to strike through your heart this time!"

"WHAT!?" Brook shouted as Flampe cheered "How can she even contemplate that! That's her own brother!"

"Cause she's a spoiled ass brat!" Zoro sneered.

Katakuri: The people on the sidelines are annoying.
Luffy: They can't stand on their feet anyway!

With that being said...the two unleashed a powerful wave of Conqueror's Haki that shattered all the mirrors in close proximity, knocking out Flampe and her men and causing them to foam at the mouth, even shattering the landscape like it was nothing!

"Finally someone shuts those idiots up!" Zoro grinned.

"Yeah they were annoying the first time," Luffy nodded.

(Sorry sent it too soon before I could complete it properly)

"Glad you're enjoying the memories thus far, hope they are better than the time with the slime monster," A voice said calmly, Everyone tensed as they spun around to see a figure sitting on the roof of the ship, what's weird was that he was a complete silhouette with two red eyes peering at them with mirth.

"Who the hell are you!" Zoro demanded

The figure barked out a laugh, power resonating in every inch of it. "I have been called many names." He replied finally. "But if you have to call me anything how about... J.B."

Noticing how tense everyone was, he gave a huff "OH RELAXS! I'm not like that overgrown parasite at... crap what are they calling Agartha now... they named it for one of the fauna there...

"Sphinx?" Jimbei suggested

"SPHINX! THANK YOU!" The being said happily "Ahh, this is what I get for making sure I find the right person, You lose track of all the name changes."

"What do you want?" Zoro said annoyed

"Well, the original goal was to do what the tomb did but in reverse, but then I realized that THEY may make a move attacking you while you're stuck here."

"They?" Robin questioned, "Whose they?"

"Well, I can't give you whole details as of yet. But let's just say that they have a very... TOXIC worldview to put it nicely", J.B. said. "So instead of going backward, I'll just go forward, hopefully, everyone will still get to enjoy the show."

Me again, this is for a potential rewrite of 'Towering Memories and Treasured Dreams'

"Glad your enjoying the memories thus far, hope there better than the time with the slime monster," A voice said calmly, Everyone tensed as they spun around to see a figure sitting on the roof of the ship, what's weird was that he was a complete silhouette with two red eyes peering at them with mirth.

(Linebreak)

"I can show what happened at the revelry ya know." J.B. said calmly "But are you sure you want to know?"

All the straw hats crew-member kept silent as they awaited Luffy's answer

"Yes... I need to know what happened to Vivi's dad." Luffy said

"Even if there's a chance it reveals your brother as the killer?" J.B. Questioned.

"Especially if there's a chance, I was willing to fight Zoro when I thought he hurt those people at Whiskey Peak first, which means I can't go easy on Sabo if he's the one behind it," Luffy said

J.B. didn't say anything just smirked "This is why I love you and your crew, always marching forward to the new dawn".
