What an absolute joy this is, truly. I am so happy I found this little collection. This is EXACTLY what I want in a One Piece fanfic - out of the piles of fics about the strawhats, the main characters, I want a story about the Amazons. I want a story about Tsuru, Kureha. I want a story about Hina. I want worldbuilding and a cast of thousands. This was such a JOY. Also everything is self-contained, you can sample one-shots - if one isn't to your liking, choose a new setting and new characters. This is the sort of work and writing that truly takes advantage of what a world like One Piece and its characters have to offer. Thank you. SO much. To say nothing of your fantastic writing as far as character descriptions and keeping so well the spirit and tone of the world of One Piece- everything feels like it belongs in the world, nothing is too mature or too goofy, these easily feel like cover stories, OVA installments.
My favorites would have to be Lend You a Hand, Along Came a Spider (I LOVE Miss Goldenweek!), Gaurd Your Tongue (this one, though so much more mature than the others, somehow didn't feel out of place and felt like it belonged in the world), Kangaroo Court (CHILLS) and Blood On Your Hands (I knew it was Kaku, he talked like an old man from the start!)
I could just read and re-read this joy, thank you so much for bringing to life so many forgotten characters, for your incredible writing of them and your flawless use of setting. This has been a treat, and I dearly hope to read more.

superb

Such a nice chapter :). I like Reiju and I'm hoping of something like this with one of the Charlottes, though I hope that it is Katakuri. After reading this, I have to say that Perospero is a best option. Reiju and Perospero may not be the strongest but they use their brains quite well and are highly sensitive in any situation.
I love their morbid mind games. Perospero is staking his life carelessly while Reiju is whacking her brains out analyzing the situation.
Both are villains but I love it how you stressed out how these two played their part as a responsible older sibling. Though we know that Reiju's protective instinct is true, I don't know if it applies the same with Perospero. He maybe be more concerned over their mom's reputation and goals over his sister's welfare. After all, Pudding is some of kind of pawn for her mom's games. Thanks for the update :D.

nice

Nice chapter :). I missed the Amazons and it was quite nice that you had written a chapter about them. I love Margarette here. She really knows her duty as an Amazon warrior and though she lack battle experience against a more powerful enemy, she managed to be at least at par with Amande. Quite bad that they're unable to rescue all of the eggs.
Though Big Mom is not here, you had managed to bring out one of her personalities - that she is selfish and only thinks of herself. It was just bad that het children had spoiled her like that but anyway, they had no choice but to follow. Will wait for the next update :).

Nice chapter! I love how you write Bellemere and other OC characters here. You had put so much effort into giving personality for Captain Galinder that I also took pity on his loss and disgrace. I have difficulty in guessing the true identity of Fiend and I am so surprised after knowing that it is Crocodile. Damn, the way how he treats his subordinates and his enemies are so cruel.
Although I love some of the Shichibukai, there are some of them who I really love to hate. We all know that they had a purpose why they wanted to get that position but most of them abuse their authority. It was so detestable that the government are so blinded that they don't know that they are being stabbed at the back.
The last part was so good. I love it how Bellemere had defeated the enemy with wit and luck. I like it that this serves as a background story on how she adopted Nojiko and Nami.

Oh, it's Monet in her human form yet (that is before she become a bird-woman). Sister? Is it Sugar.
This chapter is so interesting. So Doflamingo is now planning to create a biochemical weapon. Tsuru realizes that there is a mole among the Marines but haven't realize that it was Vergo actually.

I love this chapter :). Every scene is so beautifully written. I love how you write Koala as being so excited about this mission with Hack. What a delight to see two of Doflamingo's executives here. Baby Five and Lao G are so in character. Quite amusing how Baby 5 became attracted to Hack immediately just because she was needed. Though we all know that it was really her character, the way how you write it is so entertaining to read.
The fight scene was a delight to read. It feels like I was in there watching the fight. I had doubts at first if it was really Kaku (the finger gun was so CP9 and Kaku is the only two swords swordsman among them) until he jumped into the cliffs. Just like Lucci did with Makino, Kaku didn't kill Koala even though he had a chance.

This is so good. I love how you portray Queen Otohime and Caesar Clown. We never know what had happened to the queen during her week-long stay with humans but this chapter maybe the answer. Quite interesting how Caesar talks about the plan of mass murder to a queen who wanted to live in peace and harmony with others. Totally opposite.
I love it how Otohime uses the only haki she has to inflict the pain to Caesar or rather she had transferred the pain she received into him. I like it how you emphasize the point that: no matter how fragile Otohime's body is, her strength of heart and character can beat even the evilest of character.

Once the mysterious pirate was described having a breath that smells like pie with cherry, I immediately thought of Teach. Well, that bastard! How dare he! I like how Madam Shirley interpret his future. Darkness may mean about his soon-to-be ability but Madam Shirley's prediction somehow makes sense. Darkness may mean that he will be the cause of one of the greatest war in history and had plunge some countries into peril. Also, her prediction also intensifies Whitebeard's declaration that he is not the D that Roger is looking for.

This chapter really caught me off-guard. I can almost feel Makino's emotions while reading this most especially the fear she felt when Robert radiated a malice she never senses before. It was so well-written that it terrifies me. I thought Lucci will kill Makino since we all know how his 'sense of justice' works. He kills those he presumes interferes justice and Makino happens to sabotage their plan.

Never thought that it was Shiki and I can say that this is something I never thought will happen. However, this 'what if' story is still a good read.

Aokiji's relationship with Robin is quite complex and among the admirals, I like his character the most. Robin is a tough woman but encountering someone who causes you nightmares since childhood will also give you a scare. I like it how Robin still holds firm and strong along the encounter. As always, Aokiji is not someone who will use violence to attain his goals. Just like years ago, he had let Robin go and observe what will happen in the future.

This is quite an interesting background story for Lafitte. I don't know if Oda-sensei had released some information about the Blackbeard's members but I like the idea how Lafitte had been an law officer once.
I like Hina. She was nicely portrayed here as a femme fatale with a great sense of justice.

Although this chapter is quite disturbing, it is still beautifully written. This chapter reflects the good and bad side of the Marines. I love how you portray Tashigi's and Shiryu's character. Tashigi works for the government but still upholds the morals and dignity even towards the enemies. Her opinions maybe quite naive and maybe viewed as weakness for others (especially that she is a female) but I have tp say that she had a courageous heart.
Shiryu is so damn evil. It was stated in manga how he enjoys slaughtering the prisoners and the way how you written him makes him more terrifying. It's like the worst nightmare had become a reality.
I like Hanyabal. In OP, he looks so weird and weak, but we have witnessed also that this man had balls, lol. So glad, that you had put his character here. I think I like him even more here, lol.
