This Bites! (One Piece SI)

Reader mode
Loyal fans, on behalf of the Cross-Brain, I apologize for the delay of the chapter. We anticipated releasing it tonight, but for the purpose of maximizing the quality of the chapter, we will be taking a while longer to perfect it. Understand, loyal readers, that this is not merely out of trolling. We have never withheld a chapter from release once it was completely finished, to the satisfaction of all three of us, save for the occurrence of Chapters 31 and 32. This is not out of trolling, but out of perfectionism; we aim to reach a certain point with this chapter, and we shall do so. Compromising on quality for the sake of time is not something that we can abide by. We will aim to have it released by tomorrow, though my personal prediction is Friday. Sunday, naturally, is the absolute latest. We assure you that it shall be well worth the wait.

...Besides, our update schedule is biweekly. That doesn't mean "every fourteen days," it means "once in every two weeks," so we still have until Sunday, right?
 
*high pitched rule-retentive voice* *pushes up glasses* Well, technically speaking, hnnn, tomorrow will be the 3rd Thursday since you've update. As such, it qualifies as the beginning of the third week, thereby, huur, breaking your two week promise as the Merriam-Webster dictionary strictly defines a week as a period of seven days.


But seriously, take your time to polish it just right. Quite frankly, I'm astonished already by the quality of work and the sheer word count the cross brain regularily put out. What's a few more days to wait when you put out such masterpieces?

We define it as a period of seven days ending on Sunday.

Too long for some of our fans, that's what a few more days are.
 
Enies Lobby is a difficult arc to write especially with all of the new characters your adding to the fray. Take your time so that you can be happy with what you post ^_^

Perfectly understandable, take your time and make sure it's to your standards, we can wait.
 
I at least found Soundbite's song.

Given who he is it HAS to be a mashup, and this is the best DJ Earworm mix:

Completely unrelated, but it popped into my head while I was looking for music. How much time has Ussop been spending with Soundbite? Because for his next fake identity, he could always be Jack Sparrow.

StriderAnarchy9 OMAKE: 'Pillage' and Burn
  • Apocrypha
    • An Omake inspired by this post on SB.

    ***
    Cross had just been about to end the SBS for Enies Lobby, when Soundbite interrupted.

    "Until next time, this is Jeremiah Cross—"

    "Hey, Cross!"

    "—Of the, oh come on! You're not gonna start messing with the outro, too?!" Cross said, grinding his teeth.

    "Oh, SORRY, didn't mean to, but I was WONDERING ABOUT SOMETHING..." Soundbite trailed off.

    "...Yeah?" Cross prompted.

    "DID we steal ANYTHING?"

    "Eh?"

    "You MENTIONED US doing some pillaging during that BADASS BOAST at the beginning of this broadcast before this WHOLE MESS started, but I DON'T THINK we stole anything..."

    "Don't be ridiculous, we stole Robin back."

    "SHE'S a person, NOT A THING, she doesn't count. Besides, that makes us SOUND LIKE SLAVERS." Soundbite rebutted.

    "Um, uh, Nami! I'm sure Nami was stealing every beli they had from unconscious Marines and World Government agents!"

    Cross looked desperately at Nami, only to feel his heart sink at the sight of the look on her face.

    "In all the excitement, I forgot!" she shrieked in pure horror.

    "Come on, somebody must have stolen something! Usopp, Chopper, Conis, anybody!" Cross shouted, only to get negative shaking heads from the whole crew.

    "Actually, I stole some cola from the kitchen—" Franky admitted.

    "FRIGGEN SAVED!"

    "—but I'm not a Straw Hat."

    Cross' pupils shrunk to pinpricks. "What?"

    "You said the Straw Hats Pirates would do some pillaging. I'm not a Straw Hat."

    "Ah, right!" Luffy's fist hit his other hand before turning to the cyborg, "Franky, want to join my crew?"

    Before Franky could answer, Cross shouted, "SAY YES!"

    "Before you get TOO EXCITED, Cross, he still DOESN'T COUNT if he did it BEFORE HE JOINED." Soundbite said with a growing grin.

    "...no. No. NOOOOOOOOO—"

    ***

    "—OOOOOOOO—"

    "Dahahahahaha! To the Strawhats, the best pirate crew at being the worst pirates!" Shanks raised a mug in toast.

    "TO THE STRAWHATS!" The Red-Haired Pirates roared.

    ***
    "—OOOOOOOO—"

    "Gurararararara!"

    ***

    At Marine HQ    ...

    By all accounts, today was an unmitigated disaster. A judicial island destroyed, the World Government assassins and the Buster Call exposed to the world and more importantly, his Marines failed to defeat the Straw Hat Pirates before they made their escape, publicly undermining them. Not to mention the field day the Revolutionaries would have milking the Ohara mess for all it was worth, no doubt swelling their ranks.

    Still, listening to Cross' frustrated howl on the SBS, Fleet Admiral Sengoku couldn't help but smile.

    "—OOOOOOOO !"

    This might be one of the few times someone could punch a Celestial dragon in the face and get away with it. Who do you think might take the oppertunity? It is too bad in a way that Ace has not been captured I would like to see whitebread make a move. Actually is there anything Red hair Shanks might want to do?

    Shanks might steal more booze.
     
    ... I really hope you didn't ruin a surprise that the This Bites! crew where going to write into the story. Though admittedly they would likely just teal seastone handcuffs and their keys where they could... maybe other unique ish items.

    Let's think. Seastone, yes, that would definitely be quite useful - especially if, with Franky's, Usopp's and Chopper's ingenuity and Cross's knowledge obtained via Soundbite, they might be able to make artificial seastone (assuming it's not an element), or seastone alloys for armor and such (for example, making Franky immune to DF powers, or giving Zoro a sword that can cut through logia users). Documents should also be useful. Maps? Well, they are a subset of documents, but still. One of the ships used for the buster call maybe. The elephant sword. Spandam himself for the purposes of interrogation and insurance?
