Woohoo! I've been excited about this particular release since I finished it earlier in the month. Enough so that I've been a little twitchy about wanting to release it, while also wanting to keep to my official release schedule :-p. Thankfully, the proper day is now here! I'm very happy with how the bulk of this release turned out. Hopefully I'm not the only one :-)!

No spoilers from me on what's in this one, aside from what you can guess from the image. Which, as it happens, is by Pyroknight98. It's an AI creation, but in this case I don't mind sending a link their way, as the image was just too perfect for what I needed! Anyway, I'll be putting in Author's Notes with anything specific I want to say...

As usual, the new stuff is attached here in various formats. Since this is the final Halfway Broken update for August, I will also be updating the Master Files in the pinned post shortly. Now go enjoy more One Piece: Halfway Broken!

Chapter 132: A/N 1: So Awakening is very poorly defined in canon, but so far as I could track, my explanation in this chapter is canon-compliant. A/N 2: A personal theory of mine that only sort of applies, but which explains this Luffy being a bit paranoid here? I don't think canon Luffy actually succeeded in doing a proper Awakening at all. Rather, he ended up with a botched version like the Jailor Beasts of Impel Down, and is just lucky that the Nika Fruit is effective sentient. This would explain his somewhat over the top personality shift when he initially used Gear 5 at Wano. Going from seriously fighting Kaido to...that. His mind survived since the Nika Fruit isn't as simple as animal instincts, and later uses of it might have been more in control, but that first time...I think he got Lucky. Which is basically canon Luffy in a nutshell. A/N 3: I really like the concept of Starfall. So, even if they likely won't spend that much time there, I wanted to at least show some of it. I'm kinda disappointed that the primary thing I had planned for the island was Yamato's content, rather than a proper adventure like I've done ont he other original islands. Maybe I'll come up with a reason for them to return later...or have a mini-adventure before they leave? Either way, I obviously found some interesting little boosts for the crew to discover on the island, at any rate.

Chapter 133: A/N 1: I hope some of you actually used the link :-). I used that same video to form the right mindset for the scene I wanted. I THINK it came out suitably epic, but I'm also the author, so I'm biased :-p. A/N 2: At any rate, it should be obvious that Luffy's precautions help, and Yamato is a bit more grounded as Joy Girl that canon Luffy as Joy Boy. Also assisting this was that Yamato is...honestly better fit for the Nika fruit than Luffy ever was in my opinion. Nika is SUPPOSED to be the 'Hero of Liberation.' Luffy...isn't. Ultimately, canon Luffy is extremely selfish, even if his version of selfishness is heroic because of his good nature. He helps people right in front of him because that's what feels good to him, not for some greater motive. Yamato, on the other hand, spent her entire life soaked in blood, sweat, and tears in the pursuit of Liberating Wano. As she's more in tune with the Liberation aspect of Nika, she'll be a bit more Focused than we ever see of Luffy in Gear 5, so far as I know, and retain more of her personal agency in her awakened state as well. A/N 3: *sticks tongue out* You didn't think I made the island of Starfall JUST as a place to Awaken the Nika Fruit, right? No, I went to elaborate detail with it, rather than just using some random empty island or Sixius, as the barrier created by the Starlight Spear...hid where it happened from Imu. He sensed the Voice of the World change, but because it happened behind a barrier that is anathema to his very existence, he can't tell where they are or how it happened. A/N 4: I've honestly felt bad about underutilizing Dis, but the truth is that I don't often show the crew ON THE SHIP, doing things. So I took this chance to upgrade Dis so she can leave the ship at least a little bit. Currently really only enough to run around a port town they are docked at, but that range might increase a bit over time.

Chapter 134: A/N 1: I'm a little less happy with this chapter. I always intended for the message and rescue mission to kick off like this, but struggled over when exactly to have it happen. I nearly stuck a mini-adventure here, so that Yamato could spend more time mastering her new state on Starfall. But with the setup I'd already done with Garp's scene, it felt like dragging out how long it would take before the Germa Kingdom was attacked didn't match up very well. A couple of weeks, for travel to happen to Starfall, and for Sanji and Co to reach Germa. More than that felt wrong, but I don't like how it logically took Yamato away right after awakening. On the flip side, her displaying Gear 5 in the NORTH Blue, within a relatively short span of awakening, is also likely to protect Starfall from Imu's suspicions...so it was a bit of a toss up.

Guess Yama-vhan gonna get to strut her stuff sooner than expected 😮😁over her Awakening btw, very cool 😎. Joyboy's Will liking it's new vessels hubby too is pretty cool, and I'm very much hoping Reiju joins up. She's honestly one of my favorite One Piece characters.

Jared Andrade

Shouldn't there only be 4 elders right now? Or was the position already filled again without the empowerment from Imu?

Novus's Fanfiction Works

It's been a year and a half since then at this point. There is at least someone filling the role. Whether they are empowered to the same level or not, I'll leave untouched for now :-).

Anren

For some reason I had a feeling that Luffy would be able to "revive" Astraea from her heart. I don't even know why)

Daemonioros

Guess shit is going to be hitting the fan by the attacks happening Simultaniously. Which means Luffy will be busy responding to Amazon lily while the expeditionary force works in the North Blue. Hope Hina can keep them on track and focussed on evacuating the innocents instead of fighting the marines.

Thanks for the update, I loved it! I agree with you concerning canon Luffy’s awakening, and therefore love the subtle differences you introduced to Yamato’s awakening. Having the entire crew react to it was a very nice touch. Brook’s power breakthrough made me laugh, and it’s great to see that the crew is getting closer to being solidly ready for the New World! I’m looking forward to the Reiju rescue mission! I would LOVE to have her on the crew, but you probably don’t plan on it due to it already being female heavy as it is. She would fit in very well though with a similar goal to Pagaya I would assume, and her expertise in genetics and poison wouldn’t overlap with Chopper too much. Another option would be for her to stay in Alabasta and help them out while making up for all the red on her ledger though. It’s going to get crazy in North Blue soon since Imu wants Yamato dead at all costs… I can’t wait xD

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Not anytime soon. It would be far beyond his current power level. Maybe if he and Kaya studied it...then sacrificed every Night Oni on the island for their life force. At best.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

I'm glad you liked it :-). Good to know my headcanon about Luffy's awakening makes makes sense to someone else, and that Brook's slight problem got a laugh ;-). He's often one of the more comedic characters, and I thought it was a fairly harmless way to introduce a bit of that without going off the deep end with it the way One Piece too often does :-p. As for Reiju, I honestly haven't decided what to do with her and may end up resorting to a poll to see what people would like. The possibility of adding her to the crew isn't an idea I hate, though I worry that the crew size has already expanded to the point that many of the characters aren't getting as much 'screen time' as they deserve. Nojiko and Pagaya being two major cases in point. I've also considered her ending up at either Alabasta or Amazon Lily, either being places she'd fit. Alabasta as part of shoring up their defenses, Amazon Lily as she'd fit right in with their Strength is Beauty philosophy and offer them another high-level fighter beyond Boa. So that's at least three possibilities and I'm undecided on which makes the most sense.

I LOVED the Awakening scene, you definitely managed to hit epic for me. I'm also loving Starfall, although I think any adventure tied to it should probably come a bit later for reasons of pacing. It feels like there's a lot going on right now, or at least a lot being set up, and as you noted for the Germa Rescue Mission, extending said mission or delaying the Amazon Lily assault for an unconnected adventure will likely kill momentum and weaken the connection between the existing planting and the promised payoff. I'd counsel that Starfall should be left like Weatheria for the moment: a place of growth and maintained contact; and then maybe come back for an adventure when things settle down some. Thanks for the update
