Wow, that was such a heartbreaking reasoning behind zoro's tendency to get lost... Beautifully paced and written. I love how you really explore the relationship between Sanji and Zoro as well as Nami and Zoro.

Man you practically hit the nail on the head, predicting sanji came from an abusive family, that he was closest to his mom. Good job

Thank you for this story! It was really sweet and well thought out. I will now go over and read the second part/ companion piece!

I love the Zoro and Sanji nakamaship. I don't think Nami would actually hit a child, since she really does seem to have a soft spot for them, but then maybe she wasn't really thinking of Zoro as a child.

I've often wondered if Zoro's penchant for getting lost is something that happened later in life because he seems to wander around the training grounds of his dojo without getting lost. But this story gave me something else to think about.

This is beautiful... I've always loved their dynamics and you just written this heartwarming yet occasionally heartbreaking fic so well. Thank you for sharing with us!

This is great.

Oh dang. This is one of the best written de-aged fics ever. There was the initial fear that they always display after de-aging and I'm glad you didn't immediately make everyone act like they've been around kids their whole life and find the newly turned child adorable. It doesn't work like that. This was purely brilliant. Especially that part with Nami.

Love this

I cried reading this the first time.
I cried reading this the second time.
I cried reading this the third, fourth, fifth, and every time I read this I cried.
I got lost once.
My dad sat on the front steps crying bc he was worried out of his mind and couldn’t function.
This piece deserves all the tears.

Oh, I really liked this. :) Nami can definitely be seen as abusive from certain (small) vantage points and that bit at the end about them finding him - what a great ending! Loved this! Only wish it could have been longer - 6 months means lots of little side stories. But I'm happy we got this. :) Thanks for sharing!

I've read an original masterpiece. Thanks for writing this! My heart broke a bit, but thanks!

This was beautiful. I adored every bit of it.

Yay~ I'm really glad I found this work. It's amazing and has everythink I want and that make it autometically become one of my favourite fanfiction. I always love when the crew care for Zoro, especially Sanji and Luffy. And it's more impressive since there're only nakamaship and no romance no pairing that make me love this piece of your work. It's beautiful and warm my heart. More than that, I love Hurt/Comfort and Family and Friendship for several fic. This fic is really my cup of tea!

I love when Sanji understand why sweet little Zoro changed to rude Zoro these day. Sanji was sweet kid himself and look at him now, lol. I love when Sanji feel he need to protect little marimo. For me, they are like close brothers even if they won't admit it. I love when Sanji feel as if heart breaking when Zoro told him he want people like him too. I want to hold Zoro tight for his poor little one. I love when Luffy told Zoro he won't let Nami hit Zoro again, and made Zoro promise he won't go anywhere alone. I really love when Sanji even dare to glare Nami for hit Zoro. And it's felt good when Sanji admit to himself that he miss both little marimo and his grown one. Ahhhh! I love this whole story!

Thanks for sharing. I wish I can read more. These days I see too much pairing fic and that make me thirsting for nakama fic even more. Thanks very much for this delicious fic. haha

Hello!
I want to thank you for giving us this story.
I have not read anything so beautiful for a long time. I was fascinated.
I even cried with the phrase "Sanji can't. He didn't even get to say goodbye". Very sad!

But I enjoyed it too much. Thank you!
(I apologize if my message is not understood very much I am using a translator to write you)

Omg! This story has so much potential! Can't wait to read more! Keep at it!
