Some Quick Announcements

Also, as a few others have pointed out, I'm pretty sure Jinbe doesn't show up much (if at all) until Whole Cake Island, and Dressrosa's long AF (like Summit War long), so if you're just looking for Jinbe you might want to skip straight to Whole Cake (from what I can tell, Jinbe starts showing up around ch. 826). If you do skip ahead, you might want to go back to Punk Hazard/Dressrosa/Zou when you have the chance, since they introduce or develop a number of other characters and locations that may be worth incorporating (Zou for the Minks, Dressrosa as another of the Founding 20, Hajrudin for his Elbaph connection, Law as a rival/ally especially with Luffy and Yamato killing Doflamingo, etc.)

2026-02-22 04:08:39 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. I never played NieR, so I don't really care about the 2B stories, but I also have no problem with you pushing a bit to finish an almost completed story, and I'm fully in favor of you getting more solid on post-timeskip One Piece before writing elements developed there. Personally, I wouldn't mind you taking the whole month off of Halfway Broken, focus on finishing MHA and reading more One Piece.

2026-02-22 03:57:03 +0000 UTCI'm reluctant to do that purely on my own initiative, since Halfway Broken is the story that dethroned My Hero Automata as a monthly update in the first place. Either Halfway Broken or Displaced Hero are the most popular stories I write, and I'm honestly not sure which is more popular.

2026-02-22 00:24:37 +0000 UTCYeah, if that's all he is...it's kinda pointless? Kuina, Hina, and Pagaya are all already filling 'straight man' type roles where needed. Still, I'm only just pushing through Punk Hazard, so I'll wait to figure it out until I can get through some content that actually features him.

2026-02-22 00:23:12 +0000 UTCIt's been a while since I touched the manga. Like... half way through egg head. But Jimbe is, I bet you could guess, the helmsman cuz he can read the water better than nami because Fishman and his martial skills with water. Nami is obviously still better with weather and navigation as a whole. Aside from that, Jimbe is kinda the straight man? The level head? At some point Robin fully merged with the crew and enjoys and joins in on the insanity in her own ways. She isn't as crazy as them but she doesn't ever try to stop the ride either. Like an older sister reluctant to show she's enjoying the games of the younger kids. Jimbe is more of a reluctantly amused dad. But consider Luffy in this fanfic is way different and an actual leader? Eh....

2026-02-21 21:53:11 +0000 UTCWhat a shame, the little jinbei was in wholecake island, was Badass, and whano , final arc had him too. I recomend seing those, if you want.

2026-02-21 21:24:27 +0000 UTCI don't know about everyone else but I would be cool with you just getting the rest of Hero Automata out and then going back to halfway broken but that's just me

2026-02-21 21:24:03 +0000 UTCWell I'm personally happy with the way you are resolving this. Not in the least because I really want to see Automata completed. Both because its one of my favourites as well as to get it out of the poll and make that a lot less full.
