This is beautiful, and I love the way you described the way their souls, and how Luffy really ties them together to create something wonderful.

This is freaking beautiful. Also a nice insight into the way Brook can see the world aside.

Ah, this made me cry! I love music and I love the crew, and the way you described each of them was so creative and touching, especially when luffy came along and tied it all together. Beautiful!

Just...Beautiful.

a lovely story and character study. :)

Okay, I have to say, I like this. You did very well. I wasn't expecting Luffy to be the conductor, I was honestly expecting a trumpet for him, but I think I like conductor better.

Luffy and Zoro; Captain and (unnamed) First Mate; Maestro and Backbone, it fits perfectly.

It, this story has me wanting. How perfect would it be to listen to such a song while reading this story, again and again. It'd be beautiful. Harmonious. I love how you portray Brook and the love of music that depicts life which he understands.

i also liked how you made the relation between Ussops art and Brooks music. I could see it, the two artist of the group consider their crew a master piece in the making.

Now I want to go to listen to orchestra music. Any recommendations to a reader.

Love it! And I'm not sure if I'm glad or disappointed that no French horns showed up.

This is beautiful. It captures the crew and their interactions so well. I really enjoyed reading this. _

Very nice! Using Brook to show the different aspects of the Strawhats was clever and I adored this relaxed look at a day on the Sunny. And Zoro just keeps snoring on, hee

The last image, with Luffy as the conductor, also works really well _

Interesting little piece here! I absolutely love the idea of Brook thinking of each of the Straw Hats in musical terms. It's a refreshing little insight to an otherwise frequently neglected character.

And I really love how he's composing a piece at the moment, but still reflects upon hearing each crew's 'instrument' before (such as when he mentioned that Sanji's sax squeals unappealingly when Nami is around, but sounds different in the current context).

And as an amusing side note, I love how pretty much everybody manhandles Zoro and he doesn't seem to give a damn at all XD

The ending line is great too…it's like Brook somehow manages to translate all this stuff that he can hear and they can't, into something they can understand. Very nice. :)

Concrit wise, not much to say. There are several instances of tense shift earlier in the piece, which makes the flow of the piece a little staggered. You go from active tenses (he is sitting, he hums) to past ones (had propped himself up, etc). Just keep an eye out for this (I have a lot of trouble with it myself sometimes). It does seem to straighten itself out by the end, though.

All in all, nice job :D

This was just amazing! I loved the descriptions and imagery of each of the Straw Hats as instruments. Particularly Zoro since he is the steady beat that began the song and ending with Luffy the maestro who brought all the instruments together in harmony.

This was MARVELOUS! The way you described each crewmember as instruments were very in character and realistic. I really wish that there was really a piece of music like this: I could listen to it forever.

Excellent job! I sort of noticed how Zoro-centric it seemed, but it makes sense since he's the beat! Wonderful job of portraying the crew from Brook's unique point of view!

This is the most incredible bit of work I've read in a long while. You do an unbelievable job in defining the crew and your descriptions are so vivid I can, indeed, feel the music. Splendid job; it gave me chills.
