Halfway Broken 84 & 85
Added 2025-10-02 02:58:42 +0000 UTCAlright! Time for the first release of the month! We've gone some relatively low-key happenings in the East Blue, including another lemon featuring Luffy X Robin X Nami, as well as just a few hints about the direction things are headed. A solid 5,600 words, so roughly typical for a first of the month release :-). The images, by-the-by, are AI generations that were loosely suitable for one of the chapters. Also included in PDF form is a new set of Stat Blocks for the crew, post Marineford/Shiki! There's almost always some things I miss in those stat blocks, so feel free to point out anything that looks odd or out of place there...
As usual, the new stuff is attached here in various formats, and I'll be posting new Master Files in the Pinned Post. I'll also put author's notes in the comments below when I have time. Enjoy the release!
Comments
He has at least some idea due to their profiles :-p. But hasn't quite put together how Yamato looks at the situation (she's got some very odd viewpoints due to Oden's own oddities and he hasn't quite grasped them). Vivi he's more aware of but unsure what to do about. Less because of Vivi, and more because he's still having trouble accepting that Nami and Robin would be okay with it. In this case, his previous life's cultural norms are causing part of his issue. One Piece doesn't seem to HAVE cultural norms, with every island and town seemingly too independent to have developed a global, societal 'normal.' But he doesn't really GET that, since he has different frame of reference than everyone else does.

2025-10-03 21:21:13 +0000 UTCJust a random Marine, really. As for the training arc. Numerous smaller time skips, rather than the large one from canon. I've addressed this numerous times, but I'm not skipping that period fully like Oda did. Instead using it as a place to deepen interconnections with the crew. Which will mean both some original and canon islands visited.

2025-10-02 23:55:13 +0000 UTCLooks like it's about to be training arc and potentially time skip time. Also, was Garp's loyal minion supposed to be Bogard or just some random marine? Thank you for the update.
