Alright! Second half of One Piece: Halfway Broken for the month! In this case, unusually, it's the slightly smaller half. That's entirely because the release on the 1st was around 8,500 words. Meaning that, even with this one only being around 7,500, we're still hitting 16,000 for the month. So, in total, actually on the larger side.

Anyway, these chapters feature a first date for Vivi, some interesting (I hope) bit interaction with King Cobra, more training, and their arrival at Weatheria. I have to admit to some major frustration with that last bit. I'd intended to make Weatheria an entire arc, but was deeply disappointed when I ultimately discovered just how little we know about the place. I went looking for literally every single reference the wiki gives to manga chapters, and came up so near-totally blank that I realized I...just can't do much with it. We literally know more about Tequila Wolf and Little East Blue than we do about Weatheria. Which is maddening.

Instead, Weatheria is only going to be a short stop, with Nami and one or two others traveling back to the island from time to time. Well, regularly, actually. But I'll only cover it in snippets. Much the same way that Nojiko will be returning to Drakestone somewhat regularly to learn from Neethrax. Instead, the crew will be moving on to a couple of the other canon islands from the timeskip, in particular Rusukaina. Which will offer greater training opportunities for more of the crew.

That's the plan, anyway.

Now! As usual, waffles are disgusting and pancakes are superior (Just seeing who is paying attention, even if it's true. Waffles are pancakes that were captured by Dark Forces, taken in fel places and tortured with Iron and Fire. Twisted and deformed from fluffy goodness to crunchy horrors. Their only hope of becoming less evil is by being baptized to new life via sugar. Even then, a relationship with them is bad for you.). Also, the new content is attached to this post in the various different formats, and new master files with the entire story will be added to the Pinned Post shortly. Author's notes will follow in the comments when I have a few moments to actually write them :-). Enjoy more of One Piece: Halfway Broken!

P.S. Vivi Art pieces this time are both AI generations. The third image is the wiki image for Weatheria, just for reference.

Chapter 100 A/N 1: Can I just say that I share Nami's map rage? Every map of the Grand Line I've ever found makes the place look small, but we KNOW they spend a significant amount of time sailing between some of the islands, as they nearly starve a couple of times, even after Sanji locks up the food away from Luffy. Given that there are also supposed to be SEVEN routes through Paradise, the maps people make are even worse, since they don't account for the space all those other islands would need, unless you expected to regularly run into their weather zones. In which case, navigating the Grand Line wouldn't be so dangerous... A/N 2: At least one or two people successfully guessed which Devil Fruit Cobra ate, even before the assassination attempt. I admit, I've wanted to write Vivi's reaction for a bit, though it ended up being a little less comedy-focused than I'd originally intended, since it overlapped with them telling him about their relationship...and his own with his 'maid' coming out too. A/N 3: So, I actually AM something of a military buff, but I admit I have no idea if someone ever tried to take the concept an RPG uses and shrink it to a BMG round. I tend to have more knowledge on aircraft and military strategy/tactics than small(ish) arms. If what I've described is bullshit for ammo that small...then I dub it 'One Piece Anime Nonsense caused by Exotic Materials.'

Chapter 101 A/N 1: Frustratingly, there is almost nothing about the Bubble Tech of Weatheria. Personally, I'm assuming that the Weather Balls use something very similar to the Bubble Coating, possibly even being a crossbreed of the Mangroves that produce the sap for that. But that's just my own analysis. As I stated in the release post, I'm VERY annoyed how little we know about Weatheria. Including it's people and tech. A/N 2: If Luffy seems unusually worried about Hancock to you, there's a reason. Specifically, that she's another character he doesn't know if she'll match the over-the-top effects she had in the anime he watched in his old life. If she's only 'regular' beautiful, than the over-the-top reactions of anyone with a sex drive are just that, over-the-top, and he's over reacting. Given that she ate a beauty-related Devil Fruit, though, he's concerned that it has a mental component that causes everyone with a pulse to react the way we see in canon. That is, uncontrollable staring and going along with her, snared by literally just looking at how beautiful she is, rather than being caught in one of her beams. He knows he's not practically asexual like original Luffy, and would be caught if the mental effect is real.

Which evil country has crunchy waffles? Ours are soft and fluffy goodness usually :D

I totally forgot about the weather knots. It would be wild if Oda some how brought them back up with the egg head haki knots.

Thanks for the update, this one was packed! I loved the training focus, everyone is getting so strong already! I’m so excited to see people’s reactions to how fucking powerful every member of the Strawhat crew has become after two entire years of training xD Looking forward to Rusukaina and Torino Kingdom :) I’m really enjoying the additional depth you bring to canon islands, and how you always find ways to make each island useful for as many crewmates as possible. The only places left canonically after that are Vegapunk’s labs and Hercules’ carnivorous plant island right? Those should be awesome too!

Daemonioros

Good point in the Author note about Hancock. Fun chapters. Glad the relationships are moving on. Really curious what level Luffy and Yamato are at now. Presumably still weaker than people like Yonko or Garp. But they cant be that far off. Kinds hard to estimate properly.

The smallest HEAT warhead that i'm aware of is sized for 12G shotgun shells — the USMC tested them back in 2004. The closest available in .50 Browning is the Raufoss, which is a high-explosive armour-piercing incendiary round, but not a shaped charge — it's a tungsten carbide penetrator with a bunch of RDX in the nose and an incendiary tip. 18.5mm vs 12.7mm isn't really a stretch given the local technology, though.

Decided to do a reread and found out I forgot Uta was introduced way back in the beginning. Are there any plans of her coming back into the story?

twilightwanderer

Now Usopp needs to attach a collapsible scythe to his rifle and start wearing a red, hooded cloak. Then again, he could also put shotguns in his new gauntlets instead... Regarding the ammunition question, my military knowledge is rather scattershot (no pun intended), but here's what I've got. A bit of Wikipedia searching has turned up the Raufoss Mk 211 .50 BMG round, which looks like it might be similar to what you're talking about as a scaled down explosive penetrator. There's no way it's punching a head-sized hole through 2m of granite, though; it looks like it's intended to penetrate light vehicular armor and still be able to injure crew. Assuming you're picturing a shaped-charge penetrator, something like a Javelin missile, that level of power isn't packing into an anti-materiel round, at least not using the same mechanism of action. If nothing else, the mass of metal required for the penetrator alone is likely orders of magnitude greater than the total mass of an anti-materiel round.

I'm guessing they're probably not hitting that level until the end of the timeskip. Novus said that consistent access to his Awakened form would put Luffy on even footing with an Admiral, who are all a step below the Yonko. Based on that and Canon!Luffy's progression, I'd assume the same for Yamato, and I'd expect that advanced Haki techniques will be the other part of the equation to push one or both of them to Yonko level. Given that Luffy's awakened form is proving recalcitrant, I don't remember Yamato even being mentioned as working towards awakening, and the advanced Haki training will presumably require an extended training session from Rayleigh followed by even more practice, I doubt they'll hit Yonko level for at least a year, and my guess is around the time Garp steps down (for narrative reasons if nothing else). As for now, I'd estimate they're comfortably above most Vice Admirals, maybe around the level of the Tobiroppo.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

I see you figured out where I got the inspiration for Usopp's new armaments :-p. Those gauntlets, in fact, essentially ARE Ember Celica. As for the Scythewell, he IS studying a combat style that uses a bayoneted rifle as a mix of quarter staff and spear... As for the round, that's not quite what I was going for. RPG's don't use a solid core penetrator, but use a shaped charge to melt a copper (or similar) metal, turning it into a high velocity stream of metal that has reached superplasticity. i suspect such isn't possible with any currently known explosive. But to that, look to the absolutely ludicrous damage that Buggy Balls do. A single cannon ball sized explosive able to completely erase an entire row of stone houses. The sort of punch a modern naval canon might have, out of a cannon ball. Something which he DOES have mini versions of, too. So, extrapolating with a much more powerful explosive...

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Not...really? The problem with Uta is that while SHE is canon, her movie isn't, and I'm not particularly inclined to make it canon in my version either. So the amount of information we have on what she's up to is nearly zero...

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Huh. So, with the ridiculous power that Buggy's formula has (wiping out an entire row of stone houses with a cannon ball sized shot), it's conceivable it might actually work in a 12.7mm round. Good to know :-p. It certainly should in the shoutgun shells he's making, since those I was picturing an 8 gauge/bore, which are about 21.2 mm. A brutal kick...if the vast majority of that kick wasn't being absorbed by an impact dial... Thanks for the information!

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Twilightwanderer is pretty spot on. Currently, Luffy or Yamato could school any of the remaining Vice Admirals (since Garp isn't throwing that rank out of whack any longer). But either of them would struggle to solo a full Admiral. By the end of the time skip that will no longer be the case, and they'll be at least in the same general power range as the Yonko. Though that range is, well, a range...

Novus's Fanfiction Works

I'm glad you liked it :-). I'm actually not entirely sure what to do with the remaining three islands (You forgot about Brook's ;-)), as none of them offer much for the crew. I was never impressed with Usopp's pop greens (which is part of why I've been upgrading his ammo in other ways), Brook's adventure was non-specific enough visiting the islands would mostly be to smash the group that enslaved him, and Franky isn't around. Vegapunk's island MIGHT be useful for Luffy, Usopp, and Pagaya...maybe...kinda. It's a bit dubious, honestly, as none of them really focus on pure traditional tech.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Yeah, that's part of why I stuck the thought in there that it was Spiritual Shenanigans as work with the Wind Knot. It's just too similar to the Haki knots. Both storying energy of different types in a tied rope knot to be released later? Sounds like two different groups discovering the same trick and storing different things. Something which might help Kaya improve on the Ofuda that she's using...

Novus's Fanfiction Works

All waffles are more crispy/crunchy than the glory that is pancakes. That's what happens when you torture perfectly good pancake batter with a hot iron until it's scared for the rest of its existence...

WhatAFungi

I don’t get my Luffy is confused about liking cannons. Bitches Love Cannons. Everyone knows that! ;P

Camille

Yeah I didn’t mention Brook cause it seems like it would have zero use. I thought that maybe there could be some interesting plants on Usopp’s island that Kaya and Chopper could find medical/spiritual uses for that Usopp never recognised in canon, or even that Usopp could make into powerful ammo that aren’t necessarily pop greens. But maybe what we saw from Usopp in canon is all there is. The growing mechanism that Usopp used for both his and Nami’s weapon is interesting too. But if you don’t feel inspired by the island that’s completely fine too. For Vegapunk’s island though, Franky said that Vegapunk’s researched everything, but Franky was only interested in the lasers and stuff, so I have no doubt that multiple people on the crew could find ways to upgrade their equipment. For example, there might be notes on the flower bullets that Vegapunk’s invented for the Marines that turn enemy fire into flowers that could be interesting, or advanced gun mechanism blueprints that they could find inspiration from. They might even find strong rare materials (or new materials invented by Vegapunk) to upgrade Dis and their weapons that Luffy could then use his shop to buy more of once they’re unlocked. I would also assume that just reading about all of Vegapunk’s ideas could give the inventor type crewmates a lot of inspiration and generate new ideas. Vegapunk also studied medicine so there might be some stuff for Chopper and Kaya too! He also studied Devil Fruits so perhaps he left some notes behind that could help in some way. Just a few thoughts, although you’re fully allowed to not like them, it’s your story!

Novus's Fanfiction Works

The plants thing is possible, but there's also another issue of actually getting them there. That 'island' isn't actually an island (They are actually giant carnivorous plants). Meaning no way to lock an Eternal Pose on them, even with Luffy's system. I'm honestly not sure how Kuma targeted them, other than 'Narrative Bullshit Powers GO!' Actually, come to that, I'm not sure how he targeted ANY of them islands, since doing so implies he has a remarkably accurate map of the Grand Line, including at least the southern Calm Belt. I'm at least keeping the possibility of his particular island as a 'maybe.' A lot, I think, will depend on how happy I am with what I come up with for his fighting style as is. I have a set of ideas I'm working towards, but it occurred to me that at least one of them might actually be better off with Nojiko. So we'll see. Vegapunk's island...a lot of the problem there is that I'm not sure tech adds a whole lot to most of the characters. Most of their fighting styles just don't lean into complicated weapons much. Zoro and Kuina obviously focus fully on their swords. Luffy already has two weapons that are hard to beat (his Holy Sword and his current gun, which empowered by his Devil Fruit when he actually bothers to use it). Yamato is just happy to have her giant club of doom back, Nami's Clima-Tact is better upgraded via Weateria materials. Kaya almost hast TOO MANY things going on, and Chopper has a pretty straightfoward path to upgrade. Even Dis is...frankly already too overpowered, if we're being honest. Going through the rest of the crew, really only Hina, Pagaya, Vivi and Perona stand out as maybe benefiting from gear upgrades that aren't already in the works. Pagaya COULD add lasers or something to his mech...which we haven't even seen him use yet. Mostly as he's not combative by nature and someone usually needs to watch the ship. I'm not quite sure what I'd add to Hina, Vivi or Perona, though. I'm still sort of puzzling over those three beyond 'Haki like everyone else.' Hmmm, the idea that, if he left behind research on Devil Fruits, Kaya might be able to do something with Lineage Factor...not sure if that's a good idea or falls under the category of 'Too Broken, will compromise story.'

Camille

Fair! And yeah Kaya with Lineage Factor manipulation might be too OP haha

Mr Fox

So part of the wierdness of the map is that the one piece world is estimated to be much larger than earth. Fans aren't sure by how much and oda refuses to say but estimates run anywhere from 2 times to 500 times bigger than earth with the grand line being as much as a million kilometers in circumference.

Mr Fox

I know I'm not saying the maps make sense I'm explaining why they're so weird. If anything, considering all the other nonsense in the grand line i wouldn't be even slightly surprised if it turned out there were spatial shenanigans involved

The Foreign Traveler

Oh boy, Hancock… Considering that Luffy and his crew freed the slaves from Sabaody, Luffy killing one of the 5 Elder Stars AND Rayleigh vouching for him… Hancock BETTER give him and his some leeway though if she finds out about his relationship with several of the women on his crew… Yeah, I totally get his apprehension regarding her. BEHAVE MISSY! Edit 1: After “farther” calculations… After “further” calculations… Edit 2: If it was, “then they lack of navigation certainties would be laughable easily overcome by sheer chance.” If it was, “then the lack of navigation certainties would be laughably easy to overcome by sheer chance.” (?) Edit 3: …for finding Devil “Fruit”… …for finding Devil “Fruits”… Edit 4: Crocodile’s “menagire” of… Crocodile’s “menagerie” of… Edit 5: …more capable “of” she could learn… …more capable “if” she could learn…

The interesting thing about Uta's movie is that Tot Musica, the Demon King of Songs, is an Oda-designed character and Oda stated in an interview that there is a similar existence somewhere else in the One Piece world that he has not drawn yet. And how Tot Musica came into existence, as a result of the world's negative thoughts, has a lot of potential as it's the direct opposite of the canon explanation for Devil Fruits being the realization of people's dreams. Tot Musica's whole thing could also prove a lot of different ways to power up multiple members of the crew- -Brook, as a musician. -Luffy, as a sound user. -Kaya, as a spirit energy priestess fighting a Demon King (the same goes for Luffy and Kuina and Zoro too as spirit energy users). -Yamato, as the freedom demigod Nika. -Etc. It's cool if you don't involve Tot Musica in the story, but it's something that has a lot of potential for crew powerups and worldbuilding.
