Quick reminder first! The June Story Poll is up, make sure to get your votes in!

Now, with that out of the way, curtesy of some insomnia, the second Halfway Broken release of the month is ready early! The first chapter (115) covers their break from training on Spa Island, including a small lemon of Hina/Perona. I didn't go into much depth there, mostly just experimenting with seeing if other lemons than the main pairing(s) appealed, really. The fact that it legitimately builds on their characters just a bit made it justifiable. Though, as always, its marked for those wanting to skip such things, and nothing within it is story-critical.

The other two chapters of this update (which is close to 11,000 words) move us into the third Original Island I've made for the story. With the first of course being Wind's Home and the Crystal City, and the second being Drakestone and the Dragon Siblings. This one is an exploration of Luffy using his new System Map features to find them something useful. Like the others, it will be a fairly short adventure that hopefully adds something to the story. After which, they'll be onto the Torino Kingdom in the South Blue, then Amazon Lily for some joint training. In other words, back to canon-adjacent stuff. Notably, they've also now passed the halfway point of the timeskip training arc...

As usual, the new chapters are attached here in various formats, and the new Master Files, containing the entire story, will be up in the Pinned Post shortly. I'll also be doing some Author's Notes for the chapters after I get that done. You'll be able to find them in the comments, also as usual, though give it a bit so I can actually write them :-p. Enjoy more One Piece: Halfway Broken, everyone!

Chapter 115: A/N 1: I didn't have any interest in rehashing the filler arc content for Spa Island. So...Luffy brought enough firepower to threaten a country as guests, to put paid to any idea of the owner pulling something. I couldn't resist adding his last name, though I wonder if anyone will get the reference... A/N 2: The various crew snippets were basically just a chance to show crew interactions/perspectives in combinations that haven't happened much. Or to build more relationship moments and provide a bit of fodder for a couple of ongoing power ups in development. A/N 3: I couldn't resist the reference with Brook, either :-p. That one I expect lots of people to get. A/N 4: For that matter, I added the bunny suits mostly because it's becoming a running gag in my stories at this point...or might become such. Certainly, it took on a life of it's own in Displaced Hero, so adding them as a random thing here was mostly for my own amusement.

Chapter 116: A/N 1: Since I didn't use Clockwork Island, I figured I could get away with making another clockwork-themed settlement. No, nothing from Clockwork Island will show up here. Hopefully it proves interesting :-).

Chapter 117: A/N 1: Dorinda Harkness was, as some of you probably guessed, somewhat inspired by Mei. Though there's a healthy dose of Winry Rockbell in there, and some other bits too. A/N 2: I apparently REALLY couldn't resist the references this time. Meaningless internet bonus points for those who (probably dating themselves a bit in the process), recognized the various Jetsons references in Kaya and Usopp's snippet ;-). A/N 3: Nami's 'ruffles' outfit was inspired by the art this time. Which is someone's AI creation. To tired to bother linking it since it's just AI anyway, and their name is on it for anyone really curious. A/N 4: Mwhahahaha, Vivi is secretly the Melomaniac of this story! Possibly ;-).

Vivi’s got MY vote for Empress of The World! Lol Thanks for the chapter!

Nice chapter. The friendship between rulers is fun. I think luffy should be included though. He is definitely a ruler. Had to skip the lemon. Perdona is way too young. I normally do skim though it. Looking forward to more!

Chris7A

… I thought she was sixteen. The way she acts….

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Nope, she's 23 at her canon debut on Thriller Bark. Which, since they are a year into the timeskip at this point, means at least 24 by the time of the lemon. She just acts childish :-).

Chris7A

She’s older than Zoro?? *Confused eye pop (one piece style)*

Camille

Lol believing Perona is 16 isn’t that much of a stretch, although I knew she was older so I had zero problems with this one. Kudos to you Novus this lemon was fun! But I totally get you concerning young lemons, I mostly skip Vivi’s.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

*double blink* Um...I haven't written any Vivi lemons yet? I refuse to write lemons until characters are 18, and Vivi is only 17.5 right now.
