I started reading your fics a long time ago. But I was doing it without comments. And now I finally have a courage to say it... You are wonderful author. Thank you very much for your hard work. I love all of your OCs and fanfics and learn from you a lot. May the inspiration be with you. And good luck with writing in the future!

It’s crazy to think how long I’ve been following this and now it’s over! It is easily one of my fave op fanfics that I’ve ever read! It’s bittersweet to see it end but I love how you left it open and SHE FINALLY WEARING THE SUIT GODDAMN NOW I WANT REACTIONS OF HER WEARING IT BUT THATS OKAY I JUST LOVED HOW YOU ENDED IT WAY BETTER AND YOU LEFT IT SO OPEN AND NOTHING IS FINALIZED BESIDES HER COMING BACK TO THE CREW AND HER AND AND LAW AND WOW IM LOVE THIS VERY MUCH SO THANK YOU FIR WRITING THIS MASTERPIECE

Thank you for completing this fan fiction! It's a feat itself to actually complete a fanfic, thank you for your hard work. Inked on Skin will forever hold a place in my heart, I love Saki and her interactions with the canon cast. Overall, I enjoyed my journey on this wonderful story.

Congratulations for your great writing you have won... a happy fanboy, please don't spend it all at once.

I've only been here for half a year, but it feels way longer. I remember when I first started binging this story in single sitting. I'm so sad that it's over, but the ending definitely feels fitting and absolutely perfect. I personally vote for a time skip epilogue of drabbles to satisfy the gaping hole in our hearts that has been left behind by the ending of Inked on Skin. I definitely will be looking forward to that Cipher Pol and Sky Island stories in the future. My journey with you along side Inked on Skin was short, but my journey along side you as an author will definitely not be ending for as long as you're writing. Thank you for this wonderful story and inspiring me to take up my own OP story.

I still think Law should receive a nice Haki coated punch, but I will settle with him expressing feelings.
You know, I started reading Inked on Skin on chapter 8 or 13, and now it's done.
The last chapter hit all the good feelings and I can't find the words to express how happy, content and sad I'm.
Happy because they are happy. Law got to take the huge weight he was carrying in the last 10 years. Saki found her family and made another family in the Heart Pirates. Marina and Mark made peace with each other and are happy. Bepo is happy because Law is free and happy. Everybody is happy and this make me Happy(TM).
Content because this was such a perfect ending. Never wrote a fic, but to see all the loose point tied up. All characters developed and are distinct, lovable and got their time to shine and be remarkable.
Sad? Well, I'm sad because it ended (for now).

Thank you so much for Saki, Marina, Mack, Felicia, Tsubaki, Take and all the other characters you created. This is a fanfic to reread every two months or when traveling. It's a fanfic to recomend and to use as example of OC and development.

Thank you! 3

(The Heart Attack? Perfect.)

Just the chapter name, "Lessons taken to heart", got me the feeling that someone will be stabbed. I just hope that it isn't Saki.

Everything happening at the same chaotic time. It's the straw-hat mystery power.

In the Law "control-freak" versus Luffy "to dense to be reasonable", Luffly clearly won.

And our favorite revolutionaries and pseudo-revolutionaries reunited again. 3

Tontattas stealing hearts with their cuteness right and left. 3

"Ah, to have reached a zen state." Have I told you how much I need the zen state?

Please, Saki, use Haki when you punch Law.

Cruel or brilliant? It's both. And Robin just did as asked.

"Perhaps it should have been obvious sooner, in retrospect." Waaaaaaaaay sooner, Law. The moment Luffy said yes, Law lost control on everything. And unfortunately there's no way to take it back.

Now it's Law turn to suffer without knowing if Saki is alive and well.

I completely forgot how crazy Dressrosa was. And that everything happened in a day.

Gladius deserved the needle in his face. In fact, he deserve more needles in his face. So yeas, I believe Law would be proud. (I'm very proud!) And we have Saki offering her services to another pirate again! I hope this time her offer will be accepted.

And now I really want to read an what-if about the Heart Pirates in the chaos of Dressrosa.

Another day, another chapter.

"That dumbass made an alliance?" This could apply to Luffy or Law, or both of them.

"He couldn't tell if it was due to his general misfortune or that she was hiding something." With Nico Robin is always both options.
One would think taht, with so many responsibilities, Sabo would live glued to his Den Den Mushi. But noooo, he just has to prove that he truly is Luffy's brother.

When Saki attacked Doflamingo I was so worried that he would use her to attack Law.

TSUBAKI, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SAKI, CONTINUE FOLLOWING YOUR INTUITION.

"It ran in the family, that judgmental stare." Unfortunately, the characteristic that runs is the ability to piss each other with two or three sentences.

"I just brewed coffee. Hold on, I'll get you a cup." The silent vengeance. Law will suffer every day with the perfect nice coffee.

"I hope she used haki." Me too, Marina. Me too.

So many feelings to describe in a language that I'm not fluent.

Saki and Robin interactions were what I needed. Robin making Law regret and be slight paranoiac was awesome.

Reading about Law angsting about the choice he made, about him seeing Saki in everything, about how she never leaved his thoughts was so soft. It made me less angry with him.

But that ending put me on a edge. VALUE YOUR LIFE MORE LAW!

Nothing like a midnight forbidden trek to raise morale.

Okay, Koala asking if Saki want to join them temporally caught me by surprise. While friendly she also appeared to be a little suspicious of Law's crew.

Law evicting Saki from the sub? I teared up in a very unhappy way. Reading how Law was feeling while he spoke to Saki was heartbreaking. We saw how much he cares for the crew, his feelings for her and how painful it was to do that while thinking that it was the best way. (Well, it wasn't and I hope that the crew makes it very clear to Law)

I knew what was coming, but I wasn't emotionally ready for that.

OKAY, THAT WAS THE THIRD WORST SITUATION FOR A FIRST KISS OF YOUR OTP. HOW SARE HE, INDEED. AND HOPE THAT MARK STAYS FOR A MONTH AT LEAST.

Too many feelings. The majority of then were different shades of sadness.

Now I'm gonna cuss Law for some minutes before reading the next chapter.

It's wrong of me to think that a festival fells like the happy moment before a calamity (or Doflamingo)?

"Bepo didn't think Law was that great at concocting strategies, rather, he was a master at overthinking things, just to end up improvising when the plans fell through." Bepo is, as always, on point about Law. Considering the chaos happening in Wano right now and how he's just rolling with the punches and somewhat surviving and ready for another fight.

I think Saki reactions about finding Tsubaki alive and well are so right. Because we often dream about things but don't know how to react or even feel when they happen.

Bepo continues to be the only one with emotional intelligence in the crew.

"If Law found the thoughtless coordination sort of hypnotic, it was only because he was incapable of it, and most definitely not because of the cook." Is this denial that I smell? :D
This got me thinking about a dorama that the main pairing only hugged after 11 episodes. The series had 28. I remember screaming as if it was a marriage proposal.

Marina and Saki bonding? I teared up again.

The script for turning into a Heart Pirate? Very truthful.

I confess that the "Marina turning into a pirate" in my last review was a joke. But I'm liking it.

I find funny with how crazy and big the Grand Line is, people still know somebody who is friend with a friend.

"A warm, fuzzy idiot" is a good description for the whole crew.

You know, it's the simple and stupid moments that make me love Saki and Law.

"Did it count as spooning when there were easily six inches of fluff between the people involved? She'd have to ask Bepo. If someone had an answer to that question, it had to be him." I'm not Bepo, but yes, to me it counts.

Well, the blanket did more to advance the ship than Saki and Law themselves.

"Not with that attitude, no!" Neither will you, Saki!

IGNAAAAAATIIIIIIUUUUUUUUUUUUUS, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
Poor Marina. I can count good marines in one hand and, to me, she is the first to come up to my mind.
It's wrong to be happy that it transmitted by mosquitoes? On one hand, people can interact (Covid taught me that it's important). On another, mosquitoes can reproduce and... Okay. Not happy anymore.
Marina is such a BAMF for deciding to jump the window just like that.
"She had to fight or die trying." This line made me want to power read until the end. But I contained myself to continue writing this.
"Flagel, you're at best a footnote in my life, and one I wish I had to never read again." Flagel died with this line and nothing can change my mind.
The part about Flagel stabbing Marina and she just smirked? Gold.
Marina and Saki almost friendship? I teared up.
Marina turning into a pirate? After this rollercoaster it's more likely than you think.

Loved this story! The character development for both was well and all crew members were well written. There was some funny moments that made me laugh out loud. Thanks for this!

Thank you very much for writing this story. I've reread it twice while it still had 35 chapters and I'll be rereading it again now that it's complete. It's one of my favorite One Piece stories and fanfiction in general. Great writing, incredible OC, spot-on characterization. Though I'm sad that this story is over and initially wanted it to end alongside the manga, I am perfectly content with how you ended it. But if you have plans on writing an epilogue, or maybe even a sequel, I will be more than happy to read it! Again, thank you very much. I'm forever a fan.
