What is this, Oda and brain of mine?? I'm not trying to write an overdramatic OP knockoff fanfic, really I'm not, but it's slowly becoming harder and harder to believe. First the coincidence with Sabo - Saint Iddis (ie, a noble as a friend of a Strawhat), and the Grey Terminal - Gray Ring (location names) things ....
Now I'm in the middle of writing the Strawhat crew's first encounter with a certain OC drunken-master-type swordswoman, and you have in your manga ... a drunken-octopusman. That uses swords.
Not that I dislike drunken-master-octopusman, octopus are tasty but just ... hmm.
Well ... at least said octopusman is a man ... and a different species ... and a raving drunk, rather than a sort of mysterious, quiet, off-balance fighter.
But still. Still. This kind of stuff weirds me out!
