OH NOOO!! Guys! I posted the same chapter twice! I....suck for doing that to y'all. Very sorry. What had happened was that I accidentally hit the 'Back' button one too many times and the website mistook that for me trying to post that same chapter again. (How that even works I have no idea...)

  Thank you to the people who let me know. You two are awesome for giving me a heads up!

  Real quick, I need to make this thing about 500 characters long so here's a list of things you should expect to see in the upcoming chapters. A teaser, of sorts.

  (When I say upcoming I mean at some undecided point later in the story because sometimes plot progression ideas and character development arcs don't always work out and I need to adjust depending on whatever bs is sent my way. WHich means I'd only be lying to you if I made promises right now. So whatever happens, happens. And whatever doesn't happen....please don't abandon the story if it doesn't....I don't think I could handle that kind of rejection.... BUT! I would be interested in hearing your opinions of my current ideas and such. And yesss! Hehehehehehe~ I'm once again up to my mildly nefarious comment pandering ways! Nyehh!!)

  The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

  PLANNED plot stuff (No promises )

  - Another devil fruit user in the crew???

  - Possible sexy times for the good captain Buggy??? (With whom, i wonder??)

  - partial mutilation for a certain canon someone who may or may not be on the crew??? (I dare you to try and guess that one...)

  - a crazy confrontation with the worst evil there is....inaction.... and the consequences that follow(how's that?? Are you thinkin of all the awesome possibilities?? I am...and it's great!!)

  A~nd that's it for now

  (Sorry for the wackiness in the post. I wasn't lying when I said I was tired. [also maybe a little tipsy.] It's late and I've been up and out for longer than I can remember. Mosttly because I'm kinda delirius.)

  Well, I think it's time for bed now.

  Goodnight, and sorry once again for the screw up. :3
