Pretty excellent so far. When a fanfiction writer has to work with incomplete source material, trying to live up to the expectations of the original fans is difficult and particularly so since Eiichiro is beginning to flounder in the canon. However this author does his best to intertwine the source material while neither leaning on the canon as a crutch nor going off the rails and turning his story into crack.The only thing I wish for as of ch 145 is that the One Piece denizens could somehow understand the origins of Ian (the protag) 's powers.Hiei's Darkness Dragon is something even 90s girls wet their panties for. The Marines can awe at its power, but they'll never appreciate its history (probably).And all the other different powers that are coming in the back-burner- I feel the same way about them too._______________________________If you take nothing else away, this is one of the few stories I am slogging through Machine Translations for. Let that tell you how good this story is.
