HOLY. HELL.

HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THAT IS MARITIME AND LAWLESS!! 0.0 Powerhouse!!! That was brilliantly AMAZING MAN!! BRAVO, GOOD SIR!!

I'm so honored to see the Jollys portrayed in such a way! And with the ever beloved Marimo and Pop Band Pirates to boot! :D I can see people CLAMORING for this to be a real story arc! It's just THAT splendid!!

I loved the surprises I kept encountering as I saw each Jolly Pirate getting announced! All of them were expertly chosen to a T! Pure GENIUS my friend!! I couldn't have done it any better myself, AND NINE OF THEM ARE MY OWN CHARACTERS!! (TEN if you include Decaden!!)

Speaking of him, his role was amazingly placed as well! He totally fits the smug snake and dirty coward archetypes! (As a villain at least. As a protagonist... I'll get back to you on that. XD)

I seriously have NOTHING but compliments to give you. I'm THAT impressed with you and this blog. The only thing I'd mention is Chris' reason for being a worry wart. And that is it isn't because he's afraid of losing the respect of his loved ones. He's far too trusting for that. Instead, he takes on all the burdens himself because he simply fears losing the people he loves. He sadly had too much confidence in himself before the time skip, and likewise, had too little faith in his own crewmates. He felt they needed him more then he needed them. Like he had to be a guard dog 24/7, just to ensure no one killed them or took them away from him.

So I can TOTALLY see him getting captured if he bit off more than he could chew. ESPECIALLY if he previously went Leeroy Jenkins as usual, only to end up getting DEFEATED and then forced with an ultimatum. Accept the enemies' terms, or lose the people he fought desperately to protect. In the end, it's very obvious his love for others would win out over his own safety and well being.

Aside from that, this was FLAWLESS! :D I was totally shocked to see SPIKE of all people be drafted for the Luffy role! XD This is because I intended for Chris to be half me and half typical Shounen manga hero (Goku, Luffy, etc.) But I'm not complaining at all! XD Why? Because this makes me feel like I'm not ripping off of Oda by making another Monkey D. Luffy! ^_^ Thanks Powerhouse! :D

This was BEYOND epic!! Everything was SPOT ON! I would wait a MILLION lifetimes to see these battles in full detail! Let alone the ENTIRE FREAKING ARC!!! +_+ HELL!! The Gogh flashback was even nicely thrown in!! BRAVO, POWERHOUSE!!! BRAVO!!!

Man...!! What a pleasant surprise. If I were talking, I would have quite literally strained my voice by now and made it sore. XD That's how exciting it is.

Oh!! And I LOVE the matchups too! Spike vs. Riku would be an AMAZING challenge for Spike!! I can see Riku mentioning how stupid it is for Spike to purposefully limit himself, since it leaves him at a stupidly huge disadvantage to Riku's powers. But only for Spike to be the tough badass he is and say something like "don't go acting like you know me. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M REALLY CAPABLE OF WHEN I GO ALL OUT!!" +_+

I love this. I can see myself coming back to this on random occasions, just to relive the awesomeness. For everything we've done for your birthday today, I think you gave us the best birthday present of all. XD

Kudos, Powerhouse. You brilliant, unparalleled genius, you. I can't see anyone not liking this.

(And yes, I got so excited over each new thing I read, that I dorkishly began to act out each character and their role. And then I acted out the scene you wrote out at the bottom. XD Cuz I'm a child at heart. ...Like Chris. lol)
