Hello! I'm Maris!

And I'm Valdis!

And we're your backyard--

NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR THAT!

Ahem, what I mean is that we are going to announce the changes and the things that will be happening to this fiction through this method that the author concocted because they are a spineless dimwit. Oh sorry, I mean we're going to explain all of that because it's "creative".

Well, for starters... oh my, this list is rather long, isn't it? I mean, a majority of the problems involve me, is that really the case? I mean... I didn't mess up that badly, did I?

Blame the author, it's all their fault. For starters, let's address the first thing on the list... Maris being nerfed...

WHAT? WHY AM I BEING NERFED? THAT'S NOT FAIR! I GET IT THAT I HAVE A LOT OF ABILITIES THAT MAY BE ABOVE THE SKILLSET OF EXPERT, BUT I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BE NERFED! WHERE IS THIS SHITHEAD OF AN AUTHOR? I'M GOING TO GIVE THEM A PIECE OF MY MIND!

What we're meant to say is that you're actually not nerfed... seriously, are you okay to even do this? I don't remember you having anger issues before.

It's for comedic effect.

Also, what is going on with me and nerfing? Was I nerfed beforehand?

No, apparently the author was an idiot and frankly it looks like your training was worthless in our fight. I mean seriously, even if I'm meant to be some sort of combat prodigy, you do remember training under an admiral, for not a few months but for two entire years, right? The best you can do is just trade blows with me and use your devil fruit powers? I'm beginning to wonder if that was just to initiate a timeskip... oh it says that right here.

Our fight was rather confusing... you have super-haki and you didn't even use it once! You do realise the fight would have been over way quicker if you used it, right?

That is a fair point... not to mention I didn't even use observation haki at all! The most I mentioned it was just questioning if you had haki. I suppose the reason was just because I didn't want to kill you, but that doesn't explain observation haki, does it? Even then, I did just train for two years with a god-damn admiral and I'm sure a bloody child wouldn't have amounted to much.

AHEM, I'M A MASTER OF FISHMAN KARATE! And... oh, it appears that the author got too damn lazy and decided that the best way to showcase my own worth was through you fighting me and didn't consider haki at all during the fight and just assumed that it would work out.

... Are we really being written by an idiot?

I suppose so, now what's next on the list... Chapters 15 to 18. Oh yeah, they were pretty shit, weren't they? The beginning where I was unconscious on the bed was just out of nowhere and then the queen, oh the bloody queen! She suddenly asked me to promote civil rights and I did fuck all with it! I haven't even seen her since that point. What was the point of her family being there? Why did I just faint suddenly out of nowhere? Also, how the hell did me having a flashback about my past life just somehow cause me to temporaily lose my memory?

One question at a time... it seems that the author... binged on a bunch of Netflix shows and just completely messed up the story because he thought about them too much. That's rather amusing.

SERIOUSLY? YOU BUTCHERED THE STORY BECAUSE YOU WATCHED TOO MUCH NETFLIX? THAT DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO BE CALLED A REASON, IF YOU JUST FUCKED UP THEN FUCKING ADMIT IT YOU WUSS! WHERE'S YOUR SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY?

You do realise you're asking an idiot who is having two characters explain the changes he's making where his responsibility is, right?

Yup! It also says that... he is a pretentious biology student. Which explains all the medical rubbish and the stupid bloody past life I have! WHAT A DICK!

It doesn't say that anywhere.

I'M ADDING IT! HE'S FUCKED WITH US, I'M FUCKING RIGHT BACK!

In no way is that an appropriate sentence.

Alright, chapter 16... the weird one with a Jinbe conversation. What was up with that? In no way was it relevant for what has just recently happened, in fact it had taken a complete 180 on everything. AFRAID TO ACT? TERRIFIED OF THE FUTURE? DON'T WANT AN UNKNOWN FUTURE? YOU DO REMEMBER I'M A BLOODY DOCTOR WHO HAS REINCARNATED WITH SUPER FUCKING HAKI, RIGHT? EVEN IF I'M A BLOODY LONER, I AIN'T A WUSS!

What I mean, is that it completely deviates from the story and completely makes my character seem off. It just seems like a stock chapter where the entire point is to just spout some nonsense to try and forward the story!

Okay, so you basically just explained everything wrong with chapter 16 and the entire reason our stupid author created it. He got lazy.

Great, so chapter 17... the fucking Info-dump of useless bullcrap. Okay, seriously? Did you really need to go through all that shit to just say; "Oh, Maris is a doctor."

I could freaking guess it from the tourniquet. You had to add a bunch of drugs which you will never reference again and ailments as well? You know what, the entire medical diction isn't even needed here. If we're in the world of One Piece then my past life is irrelevant, isn't it? As far as I can see, this will never be of use to me ever again. Shouldn't I focus on addressing the corruption lying in the world government and trying to build my crew so that I sail the seas by myself without the help of Aokiji? Explain to me, in any of that; where My past life helps out.

It says that your past life was intentionally just used as an explanation for your skills, which then begs the question of all the other stuff. In response, the author is denoting your past life completely irrelevant and isn't going to mention it at all and says to just state what it is.

Well, I guess that's the best I can hope at this point, right? But, what is my past life?

Okay... it says that your past life isn't just going to be blatantly stated, but instead it will just state what memories you have and what it explains.Like how you left the hospital to become a Naval medic which explains why you're skilled at sailing and your combat experience.

Well, that completely makes that obsolete. So, is the focus finally on One Piece?

Yeah, it seems so.

So... chapter 18, the chapter where I'm introduced and become apart of your crew, we've already discussed the flaws with our fight, but what else is there?

Well... it says a few things will be explained later on in the story, like my Domain. Huh, so what about what's happening in the future? Valdis, do the honours of explaining what's going to become of the fiction!

Huh, it says that all the changes will be made, and the author has developed a backbone and decided to face how shit it became and will spend a lot more effort of making the chapters instead of just hastily making them. It even says they actually found it a good thing they fucked it up so much so they know the fundamentals of how to not write this ficition...

Great, and for the future story... it appears that author has gotten a basis for other crew members and has actually got an ending for the Ensign arc which needs to be polished more. Huh, they got a basis for them? But how is that possible if they already exist? Is Babylon even done?

Paradox?

Hey guys! Did you mention me?

YOU DON'T EXIST YET, BABYLON! GET OUT!

Fine! I'll just draw more fan-fiction in the kitchen!

Actually, do you think you could make me a cup of tea?

Only if you let me in on what you're talking about!

Yeah... sure.

She's gone, let's finish this before she comes back.

It says here that the author wants to thank everyone forstill reading the fiction despite how shit it has become and is definitely going to work five times as much to try and save it! It also says that they'll post Chapter 19 with the improvements and changes and will dedicate a lot more to it! Why don't they just rewrite the entire thing?

Our author says... they'll rewrite it when they have spare time where they cannot write the normal story, since they wants to try and give the readers something. They're just rather lazy I think.

Well, I suppose all we can do now is thank everyone again for reading this, the author will work on chapter 19 with all their heart and soul!

Yes, thank you, and please mock the author for his spinelessness to hide behind two ficitional characters.
