Hello, my lovely readers, I have returned!

It has only been what like 5 years? Yikes lol. I am very sorry to give you false hope that I posted a new chapter but since it has been so long, I wanted to make an announcement.

I have officially returned to this story!

I recently fell back in love with One Piece and I want to continue this fic for you guys. I should warn that I'm older now. I started this fic when I was like 20 years old and I'm about to be 25 now. My writing style has changed. I can't guarantee quick updates or lengthy chapters like I used to do and I'm definitely a little rusty now. Nonetheless, I want to finish Ryder's story. For you guys and myself.

I don't know when the next chapter will be out seeing as I have to re-read my whole story and get back into my character's heads. I'm shooting for hopefully the end of this month so be on the lookout! That is all for now.

Sincerely,
xoxosparrow
