I loved this story! It has a good ending! I really do hope you end up making a sequel!

I know I just revived but can I just say? The Makino surprise? U G H
My HEART! I loved it and honestly this wrap up is so well done (even though I’d love to read anything more you write of this world/fic lol). I’m just overflowing with emotions and love for this story.
Okay, now I’m down lol

I can’t believe I’ve made it to the last chapter! Honestly, this story sucked me in and I’ve enjoyed reading every word- this story was filled with so much love and emotion, how could I not enjoy it? It’s bittersweet to have read the last chapter but you’re ending was so wonderful- these boys deserve the world and what a world you’ve changed for them. Truly masterful in your craftsmanship, author. This is definitely a favorite!

almost 3 years and still waiting for the sequel

This sounds interesting ｡･:*:･ﾟ,｡･:*:･ﾟ ｡･:*:･ﾟ,｡･:*:･ﾟ

SO. FUCKING. GOOD! Ahhhh I love this story so much! The interactions between ASL, all the way from the beginning to the end are written so freaking well, and I love their crew and the way they're all characterized! I love the original interaction with the Whitebeards, I love the fight with Jinbe, I love the way ASL grew closer and closer to the Whitebeards, the fight with CP0 was so great, the conversation Marco and Ace had under the rubble was so well written and I loved it so much, and the final fight with Akainu and Blackbeard was so so good! Literally I loved everything about this fic, and the way you ended it was literal perfection. Thank you so much for sharing this fic with us! This will definitely be one I'm back to reread many many times, so thank you!

I really love the story
Thank you

I loves this. this has to be one of my favorite ASL ff. The meeting with Shanks and Luffy was spot on. You mentioned that you usually don't finish your works, but i (and many others) would love a spin off or sequel. Just seeing how the changed story line would affect the rest of luffy's adventure. I also enjoyed Ace being at the center, its new and i didnt think I'll like it this much lol.
if you are thinking of a sequel, it doesn't have to be much. Some sprinkled info of how he meets and encourages the strawhats to join up until Fishman Island is enough.

This was amazing, credits to you for actually finishing the story. It took me a while to read it all, but it was worth it. Definitely going into my favorite stories. :D

I cannot put into WORDS just how gloriously in-character and accurate Shanks and Luffy's accidental meeting is. Everything around it is absolutely perfect, fantastic writing. You've got me smiling and getting feels all the way.

thank you so much for making this. i love the story flow, Sabo fcking threatening the government and marine is genius. i love the whitebeard and ace interaction so wholesome and heartfelt i love it. i took whole day to read this xDDD i didn't even eat, so immersive! 3

I’d really love a sequal that follows Luffy from the moment he sets sail. Sure it would be similar to cannon in someways like many others. But Luffy would be really strong and he’d have a constant connection to whitebeard and his brothers. His future crew would probably also know about him already because of his stint with the ASL pirates when he had a bounty as Dragon’s son. My point is you coukd write a really good story following Luffy as a sequal to this, or really any good story. This was great

This is such an amazing story. I love the emotion behind it, how you planted little seeds throughout and they grew to fruition. Loved Sarbo's brains and guts to blackmail the marines, and the focus on how debilitating Ace's narcolepsy could be. And best if all, Makino lives! I honestly thought she was dead.

Thank you so much for posting this fic!

Omg I've just found this and it was fantastic. know its been a few years but i really hope you continue with your plans for the sequel, would be one of the best things x

Wait... reject dials with WHITEBEARD’S POWER IN THEM!?
