I'd like to point out a couple of things in response to all of this.

Firstly, this is for a personal facfic of mine I've been thinking up. I had no idea this whole site was dedicated to one fic only so I apologize if that part was misleading. I was just seeking opinions for a personal story and not trying to join up on some big production. I was directed here by someone on the canon wiki, and thought you guys might be able to give me the best opinions. Not sure if knowing this now changes any of your opinions, but I thought ou should know.

Second, the cabin boy training with CP9 would still fit within canon restrictions if one were following the manga. If you'll note the "CP9's Indepentent Report" mini-arc shown on the title pages for chapters 491-528 it tells the story of how CP9 survived the Enies Lobby Buster Call and where they are now. But that doesn't happen until the after they enter the Grand Line.

Again, I want to say I wasn't planning on joining up with a big production, I'm just getting opinions from follow One Piece fans on how this story would be recieved since much of this fic I'm planning can be seen as controversial.
