Hey guys! Just me, your friendly neighborhood RT_Strawhat_Ninja!

Aoi: friendly? That's bullshit!

Me: shut up, Aoi! You still owe me for that incident in Tomodachi Life!

Aoi: *flips me off*

Me: alright then! Anyways, guys, as the title states, this Author's note is midly important, but it could also be very important depending on who you are.

As most of you know by now, I like to pre-write 5 chapters ahead of time.

However, we've reached a point in the story that I have to re-watch the Anime for to get it more accurate to what happened since I don't quite remember and I'm not making heavy alterations to.

Yup. Alabasta Arc. I don't remember it as well as I should, and since I'm re-watching One Piece in its entirety at the moment, and I'm on the Alabasta arc, I figured now is as good a time as any. Also, between working 2 jobs and trying to get in to college, I don't have a lot of time to watch the anime, so it's going to be longer than expected.

So updates are going to be kinda slow until I get out of this Arc. I won't really need Impel Down and Marineford re-watch since I'm making some pretty major alterations to that because, come on, you really think I'm gonna have Aoi on the sidelines? This is what she's here for, baby!

Now, you're probably wondering when and how I'm gonna end this story. Well, I can tell you that with out any major spoilers.

But I'm not gonna.

Also, as of right now, I'm actually sick. So that's another factor to why updates will be slow. Because when I get sick, I get sick. So I'm going to be either in a lot of pain or in going to be so drugged up you'll call me a pharmacy.

So updates are going to be significantly slower. But they are coming, so bare with me. Well, that's all for now. This sick bitch is hitting the hay! See ya!

Thanks,
