Out for Karma: One Piece

Not a chapter but fun facts #3

Not a chapter but fun facts #3

 With the Thriller Bark  over it’s time for another NaCB.

I know I said the next one would be after the Marineford war but after seeing some comments and thinking about it I’m doing it at the end of each story arc.

Thriller back was really short. Both in this fanfiction and in the manga/ anime. I guess after the very long Water Seven /  Enies Lobby arc which started around the meeting with Aokiji on Long Ring island, a smaller arc was necessary.

To be honest I have mixed feelings about the arc I wrote. Without my notes I had absolutely no clues about what I was planning.
I scratched a lot of things and in the end… I just focused on Rick alone. We don’t see much of the enemies besides Oars and Moria and… Rick (Kuma doesn’t count).
Lots of changes happened, the most important one being the fog. It disappeared way earlier than in canon.

I’m done babbling here are some fun facts:

• Rick should have been toyed with, stealthily in front of everyone by Robin. Though Nami would have caught on making her jealous, horny and entertained.

• Rick was supposed to go up on Brook ship with Luffy to meet Brook and share his humor.

• Robin was supposed to love Rick’s dark humor and being completely neutral to Brook’s, because he's a pervert.

• Rick should have met Perona and be immune, due to some reason, to her negative ghost.

• Perona would have had her sanity snapped when finding out that Usopp was immune too.

• Rick and Sanji should have both entered the Chapel where Absolom intended to marry Nami. While Sanji decided he would be the one to fight Absolom, Rick would have just snatched Nami away.

• Rick and Nami's next scene should have made Nami embarrassed for the second time with a really bold and teasing Rick.

• Rick should have been there when Moria took control of Oars and pulled out the huge bag of salt Brook brought to deal with the giant Zombie. At that moment he was supposed to go fetch sea water and actually succeed in pulling Luffy’s shadow out of Oars.

• Monster Luffy would have then fought Moria powered up with 900 shadows and lost.

• Luffy and Rick, exhausted, worked together as brothers to defeat  Moria.

• That was scrapped, because I couldn’t take the win from Luffy. With Kuma watching the fight It would have made no sense to just ask for Luffy’s head and not Rick’s too.

Now for the chapters titles :

Chapter 60: Saying where it comes from would be an insult.

Chapter 61: Doom Eternal

Chapter 63: From the Tim burton Batman movie of 1989 ( it’s a quote from the Joker played by Jack Nicholson)

Chapter 64: Quote from William Blake.

I didn’t do chapter 62. I wonder why… It’s the first time I don’t do a chapter title. Oh wait! It’s not!

Good luck finding the other one ( it’s easy really), and good luck speculating why.

See you in another  NaCB
