Man, were you so right about this chapter last night, Rinji! I knew things were gonna heat up, but you really outdid yourself by building everything up to this. This was INCREDIBLY fun to read. If I had fun seeing either Francis or Chris alone, then seeing them together was twice the fun. Made even more epic by the fact that they are now alongside Polatsu and his men, and of course, your very own Tiger-Stripe Pirates, with Jiro as a bonus.

The action seemed pretty cool, though at times I was a tiny bit confused. Like, it took me a while to realize the White Face Pirate was whipping around his claws on those chains. Without that small detail, I had no idea what was going on between him and Nicholas' men, aside from the fact that the samurai were avoiding the chain. Likewise, it took me a second or two to find out that it was the same mysterious man who had pinned Rinji down with that net. For a minute, I almost believed Polatsu had done that to him. Other than that, you were aces.

As sad as it is to see Chio unable to give it his all, I was also somewhat glad to see him try so hard for his crew and friends. And it was a surprise to see Ellis show up as well. They must have been pretty close to where the Red Mafia and No Beards were meeting for her to appear that quickly. Either way though, it's a relief that she was kind enough to give Chio some aid before it was too late. Can't exactly let the Tiger-Stripes go without their first mate, now can we? Not to mention how Usagi would feel. :P

But man, when those four factions met up in Town Square, all because of the White Face Pirates... Epic moments are made of that kind of stuff. You played up what I told you about Chris and Francis very well there. Nicely done. And the ending had a very cool twist to it. I could totally see Rinji being the first to challenge the giants, and of course it wouldn't take long for Chris to do the same. Just, well, as I said, epic. I also had fun seeing Sakura correct her captain. One of those genuinely silly Chris moments while he's in the midst of being serious. I loved it. lol

You have me curious now. I understand a lot of people have gathered together against the White Faces, but who exactly? Whom among the Tiger-Stripes came with Rinji? I know there's Nikk, Chio, Usagi and the former member, Lee. But did Alice come along too? And who came with Chris, Glory and Sakura? Did any Jollys did left behind?
