Headway/Nexus Quest 4 (Worm/Gamer-lite/Multicross/Dimensional Travel/One Piece/X-Men Evo)

Little Garden will not be visited by the Straw Hats. It's not along your current route. Taylor may visit it at some point in the far future.

The current route will be roughly the same as canon+some of the better fillers/movies (and some bad ones, too), but will have sort of a shaken up start.

I kind of thought might be the case and is why I was trying to say it would be accessible sooner. I worry about the lack of meeting the orges as they set up a few things but mainly Usopp character growth, but he has Taylor to help him out I guess.

Sanji's been the toughest thing about the Straw Hats so far. Taylor has the least reason to interact with him out of all of the crew, so he gets sidelined and gets relatively little development/interaction with her, when I'd prefer he didn't. Hoping to fix this a bit on island actions and plot, but the reality of the situation is that players are going to have FAR more ship actions and regular island day actions than Plot on Island actions where Sanji will really shine.
Sanji is a very versatile character able to contribute to comedy, badass and dramatic scenes.

Luffy can do comedy and badass, but he is too happy go lucky to drama.

Zoro is pure badass and only really does comedy as a straight man.
 
I think all the social-ish skills will let Taylor present herself well to others, but her malus means that she still doesn't really GET people on a personal level.

Psychology might help with the getting people part, at least with knowing what others are feeling. At high enough levels that would probably be like a master mentalist cold reading people. Wouldn't help with her own awkwardness, though.

I kind of wonder if Sabo will wind up in Little Garden and finding the giants. He's on the lookout for us but he might have assumed we'd head towards Whiskey Peak and proceed from there. But it depends on if he talked to Crocus.

Either way, Luffy will kick himself if he realizes Taylor missed out on being able to turn into a dinosaur, and therefore he can't ride a dinosaur!

Some of the Sanji actions would be interesting. Besides survival and poison resistance training, cooking is just a great skill to have. And I think he'd be interested in styles from Bet/Mahon.

But yeah....after Foolshout we should go right down the list with at least one Merry crew action a day. Maybe 2 in one day every few days. Time with the Strawhats is the closest thing to downtime Taylor has.


As for Zoro and comedy. Maybe not, but the rivalry he and Taylor have is kind of amusing.

There might be some comedy potential if Zoro is Taylor's designated eye candy on the crew. Not that she'd admit it. 😜

so, the plan is better like this with the name I put?

Yes. You may want to organize future plans so that you list your options in one section and your rationale in another, just so that other players have an easier time reading them.

Easier, from a readability perspective, to see a plan listed like
Plan: Hoobly-boobly
-Kachi Kachi
-Ninjutsu
-Sube Sube
-other options

And then you include your rationale, like 'I'm choosing to include these three options in Plan: Hoobly-boobly because...'

It's like writing an essay. You state the thesis up front.

also, about Haki, so certain martial arts augment haki?

More like learning magical martial arts makes it easier to learn Haki down the line. Haki will reinforce existing martial arts and powers of basically every sort.

Sanji is a very versatile character able to contribute to comedy, badass and dramatic scenes.

Agreed, but Taylor still doesn't have much reason to interact with him, was my point.

Luffy can do comedy and badass, but he is too happy go lucky to drama.

I disagree with the determination that Luffy can't really be used for drama. Some of the best moments in the series involve Luffy being humbled, that kind of drama. Jinbe and Luffy after Ace's death, Vivi convincing Luffy to swallow his pride at the Drum Island river. Even in this quest, Luffy's more serious side has shown - the scene with the waterspouts, for example.

Zoro is pure badass and only really does comedy as a straight man.

Disagree with this. Zoro's entire being is absurd and I've basically been (lovingly) making fun of him every time he's appeared in this quest. He's completely absurd and the perfect guy to pit Taylor against for some subtle comedy.


Plan: Final Preparations - 2 (LightLan, Kejmur)
Plan Calm Before the Storm - 2 (Ompa60, fictionfan)
Plan: Preparations for the future - 1 (hakunoX)

Here are the current vote totals.
 
Incidentally what do we do if Zoro still remembers how upset he was about the bounty thing and wants to be the one to take down Mr. 3?
 
[X] Plan Calm Before the Storm

I think we should at least start the Peacock slashers while we have a chance to. Also the boost to running is useful.

I'm just not keen on the Law action for now, @Ompa60 . I think trying to get Acrobatics to 6 would be worth it.

Incidentally what do we do if Zoro still remembers how upset he was about the bounty thing and wants to be the one to take down Mr. 3?

Try to avoid splitting the party, for once?

But seriously, between Mr. 3, Miss. Goldenweek, Mr. 5, Miss Valentine, the Unluckies, and possibly Miss All Sunday , there will be plenty of options to choose from.

Assuming we get a choice, which isn't a given, Luffy tends to take on the strongest opponent, anyway.

And the rest of the Strawhats kind of have a way of gravitating towards suitable opponents as well.

hey so out of curiosiyt, on raw physical stats how storng is taylor? with Fitness 10 and Weight Lifting 10 and being able to match early paradise Zoro she has to count as some level of superhuman strength wise. Where does that sit compared to Bet brutes like Glory Girl or Mush?
 
I guess I won't feel bad. All of their powers are fairly cool. Wax-wax is a very versatile shaker effect also have so much wax to burn will help us with so many power generation problems.

Bomb-bomb is alright. Adding explosions to our punches is cool, but doesn't really add that much new to what we can do.

Goldenweek color traps should combine very well with our artist skill. We should be able to manage things she couldn't.

The pound-pound fruit might help with our flying and swimming but seems hard to justify training just for that.

The unlucky give super fast drawing skills as well as a likely boost in ranged weapons.

Not really a fair question because both of them aren't actually strong. Brute ratings also aren't really about how strong you are, but how much damage you can take. Strength is striker.

Like if Taylor and Glory girl punch each other's fists Glory Girl will win because her shield can absorb an atomic bomb, but if Taylor gives her 2 quick jabs then Glory Girl is down for the count.

Mush depends on the garbage, but Taylor would have been able to just throw him around in any case.

[X] Plan: Final Preparations

The more time spent training the skills listed here the better in my opinion. Small chance to get ninjutsu upgraded twice this way. Which would be a little crazy.

Except Glory Girls shield also gives her super strength unrelated to the shields ability to absolutely block any one strike, ignore punching in an arm wrestling contest how would she fare against Vicky or Aegis or Alexandria or Browbeat.

Aegis and brow beat has no chance because they are both limited by actual biology and the squarecube law. I think we're around GG's level and alexandria should still be stronger then us imo

If we don't plan to go to official power testing anytime soon, I would at least suggest doing something on our own. With proper equipment to test it out properly in story.

The unlucky give super fast drawing skills as well as a likely boost in ranged weapons.

Also Unluckies may give us Perception bonus. One of them being a vulture, birds famous for their very good sense of sight. Maybe Otter may also give us something to Swimming?

It would be nice to get a power that gives a superpower based on drawing skill itself. On Earth-Bet I don't think there is anyone out there like this, at least out of named characters. Fude Fude no Mi Devil Fruit would do the trick exactly, but good luck getting access to this in any reasonable timeframe where the user of this fruit is in the New World x_X.

This will take us a VERY long time before we can even dream of approaching Alexandria's level. Fanfiction writers tend to heavily underestimate people like Alexandria.

You may find Triumvirate feats quoted directly from there story here.

In Venom 29 (29.8) Alexandria holds up a 1,730,000 ton shelf of steel. She only fails because the object itself starts to break apart around her.

"When the walls break," the Number Man said, "one million, seven hundred and thirty thousand tonnes of steel are going to drop on our heads." [...] Alexandria flew forward. She caught the shelf of steel, concrete and granite. Buying time, even as the slab continued to crack and break down where the stress of her holding it warred with the sheer weight and lack of support in other spaces.

Alexandria then has that same column of steel dropped on top of her and is completely fine, essentially swimming through the steel afterwards to get out of it.

Outside, Alexandria charged in response to the signal. She slammed into key points, where the structure was weakest. I'd outlined some of it, the Number Man had inferred the rest. Hitting him with the biggest thing available. We brought the column down. One and three-quarter million tonnes, dropping down on our heads. [...] Alexandria, outside, tore the hand apart. Lung and Cuff helped from the inside. He'd blasted his way free, straight up. Alexandria had torn away the flooring and the chunk of remaining column from on top of us. Sure enough, there was a fist-indent in it.

It's not lifting feat, but holding one, which is slightly less impressive, but we still talk about millions of tons of weight, and we still don't know exactly the potential upper limit.

When some people call her Superman expy, they don't exaggerate. Speed wise she's confirmed Hypersonic+ at minimum and Doctor Mother suspects she can match up Legend. Of course some versions of Superman still squash her, but the point stands.

Also on Glory Girl. List of feats Here

1. Can bench press a "cement mixer"

Interlude 2.x
She threw him. Since she could bench press a cement mixer, though it was hard to balance something so large and unwieldy, even a casual toss on her part could get some good distance. He flew a good twenty five or thirty yards down the back road before hitting the asphalt, and rolled for another ten.

I'm not sure if cement mixed is a truck one, or standard one with the stand.

Truck ones weigh 20,000 to 30,000 pounds (9,070 to 13,600 kg), and can carry roughly 40,000 pounds (18,100 kg) of concrete although many varying sizes of mixer truck are currently in use. I doubt this is the case here, but well, may as well post it.

And the ones with stand, depends on model. . This one is 55 kilograms (121 pounds), but pretty sure there are bigger models.

2. Can lift an SUV over her head

Interlude 2.x

"I'm strong enough to lift a SUV over my head," Victoria muttered, "It's hard to hold back all the time."

Average weight according to Uncle Google is:
Average subcompact SUV - 3,000 to 3,500 (1360-1587 kg) pounds. Average midsize trucks/SUV - 3,500 (1567 kg) to 6,000 (2721 kg) pounds. Average large SUV - 5,400 (2449 kg) to 6,000 (2721 kg) pounds. Average weight of compact trucks- 5,000 (2267 kg) to 5,500 (2494 kg) pounds.
3. A description of the damages Victoria dealt to a regular man.
Interlude 2.x
Amy leaned over the man and touched her hand to his cheek, "Slingshot break to his ribs, fractured clavicle, broken mandible, broken scapula, fractured sternum, bruised lung, broken ulna, broken radius -"
"I get the point," Victoria said.
"Do you?" Amy asked. Then she sighed, "I wasn't even halfway down the list. This is going to take a little while. Sit?"

4. Sends a dumpster flying with a kick.
Interlude 2.x
Then she kicked the dumpster below her hard enough to send it flying down the little road. It rotated lazily through the air as it arced towards the retreating figure, the trajectory and rotation barely changing as it knocked him flat. It skidded to a halt three to five yards beyond him, the metal sides of the dumpster squealing and sparking as it scraped against the asphalt.

5. Skitter believes she can swing a school bus like a bat.

Agitation 3.11
"Um," I cut in, before either of them could say something that started a fight, "First of all, she's invincible. Second, again, bad idea to irritate someone who can swing a school bus like a baseball bat. Third, my hostage here did something to fuck up my powers."

The school bus feat is pretty much a personal belief of Taylor. So yeah, who knows?

If we take into account the cement truck (highball), I think we may be still below. Regarding her other feats (like SUV ones), I would say we are above it.

ok I thought her strenght was about half of that, I also figured that the stone we lifted weighted at least 5000kg minimum (pulled out of my ass) and that us lifting all of that with a finger push up is crazy impressive, like what is the world record for one handed handstands with weights Irl and how much more can that dude lift with a proper weight lift stance with a bar? I figure that the difference is pretty high never mind that Taylor did it with a finger push up which is more or less flat out impossible for a normal human in any circumstance

Do remember that right now weight lifting has evolved into a sort of discount tactile telekinesis, so Taylor's lift feats do not match her actual physical strength, probably need to throw a multiplier in there. Which makes things sillier cause the weightlifting skill specifically states it affects strength training activities
