333!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'I'm not good at handling his POV'? That was one of the best whitebeard POV I've ever read! And trust me, I've read a shitton. And gosh, no one has ever done it like you did. You brought such a new freshness to the entire concept of whitebeard! Ahhhh like oh god! I'VE NEVER THOUGHT THAT MAYBE WHITEBEARD WOULD HAVE BEEN WORRIED/FELT INCOMPETENT SUCH THAT HE FEELS AS IF HE SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN A FATHER! IM TALKING ABOUT THIS PART "He was a father. How could those brats suddenly decide to call him that? Which self-respecting brat would do that? A father, father, father, father, father, father… What did that even mean?!" OMG? IT MADE THE CHARACTER SO MUCH MORE HUMAN! I say this because most fanfics would portray him as like a pillar of confidence when it comes to being a father. I never once thought that just maybe he would feel inadequate and that he didn't deserve to be a father...as if he were manipulating his children into believing he was a good father. Omg your writing! I love it so much! And way you just give the best new ideas to this fandom! Omg all of your works are marvelous! Seriously! You're the only one who writes (you write it the best!) and highlights the sketchiness of kidnapping ace and literally holding him hostage and how that affects his mental health and how the whitebeards are fundamentally good people and know that kidnapping is wrong, yet they do it because of their selfishness that they want a brother and their reasoning that by forcing ace to join them, they'll keep ace safe from the world!

AHHH THIS ENITRE PARAGRAPH!

"When he stumbled upon lost souls – like that fire brat – whose very eyes screamed for protection and love, he pushed aside his sense of justice and forced his name upon the child. He hardened his heart when the child – when Ace – railed at him for his freedom. He tolerated the attacks, the curses, the desperate attempts to be break free. He didn't even blink when the anger in those striking grey eyes – as sharp and clouded as a coming storm – soon dissipated to gather into tears of frustration."

AND THIS

"As a father, how could he allow this child to slip through his fingers and rush headfirst into untold suffering? Ace would not stop at him. He would move on to that serpent Kaido or that vain woman Big Mom if he could. They would snuff out the light – those brilliant eyes and crooked smile – out of him, like a puppeteer snapping the ropes of the doll, leaving the once beautiful life melting into tainted shadow"

HE IS HIGHLY AWARE THAT KIDNAPPING AND FORCING A KID TO JOIN HIS FAMILY IS WRONG. YET HE DOES IT TO PROTECT HIM! OMG THIS ENTIRE PARAGRAPH WAS SO WELL WRITTEN! and omg that transition from "lost soul" to "fire brat" to "Ace". Dude. Have I mentioned I loved your writing? Especially these little nuggets of like *beautiful writing*? and ahhhhhhhhh (Im sorry if half this review is just me copying and pasting parts of your writing, but I want to highlight to you which parts of it I really love you know?)

THIS!

"This was how Edward loved.

And, at his crux of his pirate heart, Whitebeard tore into blood and washed the red off his halberd in protection of this treasure."

I LOVE THIS ENDING LINES SO DAMN MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA? THE RHYTHM OF THE SENTENCES. THE IMAGERY? OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! AHHHH IT GIVES THE SENSE THAT HE'S WILLING TO KILL AND WILLING TO DO IT MERCILESSLY WITHOUT A HINT OF GUILT IF IT MEANS IT PROTECTS HIS CHILDREN. and omg idk why but it also gives a huge huge vibe of possessiveness. Which is freaking dope.

Ahhhhhh this entire story was so amazingly written! Just like all your other works!

I've been reading your fics for a few years and honestly I've downloaded a few just because I don't think I could bare the pain if one day i woke up and you and your stories disappeared from my life. Thats how precious you are to me. For these past few years, your stories have been this thing which I come back to every once in a while when I just want to read a wonderfully written story. Idk how to describe this, but the world you've created in your whitebeard-ace-family fics series is just so wonderful to read! When I reread them, it kindda gives the feeling of coming home or sth. Ahhhhhh I suck at words man (omg this is why I never commented if at all in these past few years! But then I made some author friends and realised that authors really loved reviews and I kindda just wanted to make you happy for all the happiness you've unwittingly given me for these past few years with your fics! So I hope this review makes you smile! Because you've made me smile and laugh and cry because of your writing!)! But I hope you get what I mean. I really do hope you realise how precious you and your writing are to me. Because you're seriously precious! Ahhhh thanks for listening to my rant, I hope you have a good day and stuff okies? And stay safe and healthy!

That was beautiful!

you may say that you're not good at whitebeard's pov but that was very interesting. I've never read a story that show's what whitebeard is thinking during Ace's recruitment. that was a very interesting take on it, I like how you mentioned Ace wanting his freedom and the way that whitebeard just couldn't give it to him because he wanted to protect him

An interesting look into his mind. :3

I love it. It’s interesting to see the perspective of Whitebeard. We don’t get to see it in too many fics.

omg its so interesting to see things from Whitebeard's perspective!

I loved it tbh, especially since everyone sees him as this giant all-knowing beast, when in fact he's still a human with faults and emotions and you portrayed that really well in my opinion!

Thank you for these lovely little snapshots!

I love your writing and I think that you did a really good job with his pov!

Thank you

Yess, you handled the pov really well! Whitehead is a complex character and I really liked him. Tho it always weirded me out because ace was literally forced to join. This is really good. Keep it up!

Oh, I am bad at having ideas
But I always loved what you wrote, so I look forward to what's next. I really liked this one too.

Darker tones on your more recent stories/updates... I'm kind of digging it XD Any chance you're planning on writing something like this but with Whitebeard? I think it would be really interesting. Plus I LOVE how you write him, but you don't seem to write much of him.

OH MY FUCKING GOD THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DISSECTION OF MARCO'S FEELINGS. Oh god! I was hoping for someone to write about how the whitebeards felt guilt for literallty kidnapping and peer pressuring/mentally breaking down a kid into joining them, but yet nit feeling guilty about it because they wanted ace. Oh my god, you wrote it so so so damn masterfully! THIS IS WHY YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE WRITER

I need more please~

I love these drabbles so so much~

I would dearly love to see everyone's reactions to Ace's age. that would surely be a sight to see
