Hello everyone!

It's been almost 4 years since I've updated this story, so I know many of you probably thought the story was dead. I promise it's not, but my inspiration comes and goes. With how much i've been enjoying the Manga and Anime lately though, and it being the Year of Sanji, I decided that not only have I been planning for the next chapter, but i'm going to go back and edit/re-write the current chapters. I don't want to completely delete it and then repost it since i no longer have those files, so I'll be replacing chapters as I re-write them. This will also help re-learn my own story. I'll probably also be posting to AO3 as I get those finished.

A few updates on somethings i read in my authors notes: I said at one point it would likely be a SaNa story. It still will be, kind of. Not in a romantic sense (I just don't write romance). It'll be nakamaship, and in these regards it will also be a ZoSan story. So, there will be NO romance in this story. Just deep friendship. I'll try and show those moments with everyone, but there'll be a bit more of it with zoro, and nami with sanji.

I also had some reviews that wanted to see reactions from other members of the crew. I will try and work that into some of the current chapters as well.

Thank you to everyone whose favorited, followed, and left reviews for this story even after it's been so long since it last updated. I look forward to bringing this story back to life! now, if you'll excuse me, i need to go re-watch Strong World.

UPDATE: I have now updated and replaced chapter 1, 2, and 3. Please go back and give it a read and let me know what you think!
