(CHAPTER 0 Updated May 28, 2017)
Hi, I'm writing this story in the hope that I can get better at writing. To those of you that are coming over from Konoha Neglected Duo, I'll inform you of what's going on. For a while I lost interest in anime in general, and fan fiction followed soon after. When I started getting back into this, my interest in Naruto was nowhere near the level when I started KND. I hope to go back and finish it at some point, but for now, it's one piece.
So a few things, I would really appreciate it if you guys commented on what you liked and what you didn't like. This story is in it's early pages. The story you guys want to read, and I want to write hasn't fully set itself. There are still things that can be done to alter the course. If you want something, or think something would be cool to add, comment. I won't guarantee anything, except that I will see the comment, and I will consider it. I want to write this so I can learn what you guys like.
Now this story is going to be a 2 crew journey. On one side you have the Straw Hat Pirates, and on the Other you have my OC's crew. The two will be allied together, and will fight together for some of the bigger encounters. Particularly my OC, Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy will be too strong for the east blue (My OC and Luffy will be at the same level, combat wise). No struggling against Don Krieg and his pirates. Sanji might take a hit from Gin, but he's not going to get as hurt as he was, and here's why I'm making them go through the east blue like it's nothing, until Loguetown:
-Alvida was destroyed by Luffy so no questions there
-Morgan the same. Only reason Luffy didn't punch him was as a show of trust. I doubt Helmeppo could have followed through with shooting Coby, and I think Luffy knew that too
-Buggy again Luffy should have been able to defeat him a little easier, but it was still pretty one sided. Buggy was on the Pirate King's crew, but he relies too much on his devil fruit. Plus he's a comedy character.
-Don Krieg relies way too much on his numbers, armor and weapons. He's too cocky, and probably hasn't been training. In the east blue he probably never fought against opponents that really pushed him. Plus, he just got back from nearly starving too death, and his crew being wiped out. Luffy should have wiped the floor with him.
-Arlong is sort of the same with Don Krieg. He relies on his "superior blood" too much. He probably hasn't been training, and Luffy has proved he has monstrous strength during the Arlong scene at least at par with Arlong himself.
I feel as if the east blue was portrayed as too hard for Luffy, but they did a good job making the fights look cool. This isn't an overpowered character type of story. I plan on following canon to the best of my ability, while adding my own twists and such. OC's will be added, and new Islands and original arcs will be added in order to include separate fights for my OC and his crew. As the story progresses I'd imagine I'm going to be altering events more.
Thank you for reading this. Enjoy!
