Waves of Reflection
Waves of Reflection
More so even than the skeleton plucking strings bodaciously beside her, Nami felt it in her bones. Whenever Nami closed her eyes and raised her hand up, as if to stroke the underbelly of the clouds, the rest of the crew instantly understood: Something’s wrong…
And no matter how loudly Brook’s soul warbled or Luffy and Zoro clapped ( Read more... ) -

Chapter 12: Subliminal Satan 「サブリミナルサタン」
Speaking of skeletons with deep cavities in their skulls. (Brook qualified both literally and figuratively.)
“Yohohoho, so it was YOU who was the Satanist all along!” Brook seemed pleasantly surprised by this revelation, as though being a bona fide Satanist was a major improvement over the clean, ( Read more... ) -

Chapter 10: Shame on the Blade 「剣の恥」
Trapped within the Orb of Blades, the two swordsmen circled each other, eyes on each other’s blades, eyes on each other’s hands.
Naturally, the interior arena of the Orb was built to Falstaff’s advantage. It was a flat disk of a battlefield alongside whose edges stood up dozens of blades that snaked along the ( Read more... ) -

Chapter 6: The Sun, It Shall Shine Again 「太陽が必ずまた昇る」
The flash bang heralded the surprise attack of the Devil Dare Society. They exploited the blinding glare to hide in strategic spots all over the ship, except for Falstaff, who zipped straight for his nemesis-to-be.
As such, Zoro, as ever, was the first to disappear.
“Zo-Zoro!” Usopp ( Read more... ) -

Chapter 4: Things Go Sour 「うまく行かねｴ」
Dinner on Sunny-gou. Sanji provided the main dishes, Kurt furnished all the beverages and desserts.
“Zeff must have gotten the idea of the peg leg from me then! Yadededede,” rolled his distinctive laugh.
Sanji had finished telling him the story of the island of starvation, and how Zeff came to be a ( Read more... ) -

Chapter 3: Bitter Pill 「苦い丸剤」
Boin Archipelago mist-flies flitted by Nami’s mikan trees, showering the Straw Hats with a faintly shining gossamer dust and illuminating everything. The flies seemed to take a liking to Chopper, circling the prongs of his antlers in deliberate, serene figure eights. Grinning fit to burst, he cycled through his ( Read more... ) -

Chapter 2: The Sacrifice Scheme 「人柱の計画」
Earlier that very morning
The blinds drew up instantly with two snaps of mother’s fingers. Light flooded the stately bedchambers of the Princess and Heir of the Noble’s Republic of Castena Cacao.
“Ugh…” Fasmidi shielded her eyes.
“Up.” With a firmness belying her aristocratic poise, Notona threw off ( Read more... ) -

Chapter 1: Luck of the Devil 「悪魔の運」
“Is everybody hanging on tight?” asked Franky, as a giant bird from a faraway island blocked the sun overhead and cast a long shadow over the assembled Marine vessels.
“Ready when you are!” Nami gave the okay signal from the helm.
“All right!” The ship began to thrum and vibrate. “You’re about to see the romance ( Read more... ) -
The Top Whatever Disappointments of BLEACH
I used to be a fan.
Sure, I poked fun from time to time. I wrote crackfic. I joked with fellow fans. I didn't take the series too seriously.
But it was the first shounen battle series I really got into. I'd never seen highly effective drama and awesomely creative fights like Renji vs. Byakuya in, say, random reruns of Dragonball Z, and my young, tiny ( Read more... ) -
