Halfway Broken 128-131 (Patreon)

Edit: Sorry about the initial mislabeling, I forgot I broke this up into more chapters! I've fixed it now.

Alright! New month, new round of updates started! As always, the first release of the month is the next chunk of Halfway Broken.

These two chapters are a little bit unusual as they are, honestly and frankly put, a way to patch a few holes in my long-term planning that have been caused by One Piece content released after I started writing the fic. It shouldn't be super obvious the bits that I'm 'patching,' since most of it is to set up background bits for things that won't happen until they are farther down the time stream. There are things, however, that we just didn't know about One Piece and the story when I first started writing this over two and a half years ago. These chapters are me doing background patches that account for a few things (mostly, Imu and related bits, we know a loooootttt more about him now).

That said, it both shouldn't be too obvious, and I think I made the island they are visiting interesting enough on its own. Honestly, I think I may end up liking this particular island the most out of the originals I've created, as far as pure backdrop goes. Though Wind's Home/The Crystal City came out well enough that its a bit of a tossup when I haven't completed this one yet ;-).

As usual, the new stuff is attached here. A quick reminder, I'm only updating master files once both updates of a story are out in a month, as it would make an even more confused hash of all my Master File documents if I had to create multiples of each one, for four separate stories a month -_-. I think I'll leave off on doing author's notes for this pair of chapters, as almost anything I could say would potentially brush up against the patches I'm making and draw attention to them :-p. Now, go enjoy more of One Piece: Halfway Broken!
