To be honest, Observation is useless right now and Taylor has bugs that can cover that area for the time, she needs to get her physicals up and going and to actually be able to withstand the attacks. Bug won't do shit after at least the first month in Paradise as people there are so much tougher that it won't even work on them at all. She also needs Armament up and running due to Crocodile being the first one to oppose them on Grand Line, she literally has nothing to work with otherwise as bugs simply do not have enough surface to get a sufficient amount of water on them to actually harm him. She needs to get rid of her weaknesses before working on things that she can cover with her other capabilities.

Ravensdagger posted a threadmark with the preferred formatting for the vote. Besides that, the choices are either voting for a new skill and a point into an old skill OR putting a point into two skills in separate categories. Adding to two different hakis at the same time isn't allowed.
What is considered a new skill rank G or rank I
 
I mean sure, but the method of his death means that it goes directly to Teach. You think we can face him without devil fruits unless you are strong enough to not need them anyways which makes it pointless
We still don't quite know how Teach got the Devil Fruit so I still think there is a chance to get it, but I honestly want the other two more

What is considered a new skill rank G or rank I
Probably H since I specifically says, they don't know what they are doing.

(Putting the 'hat' in 'Strawhat')
[] Gunnery
(Bang bang!)
 
[X] NEW + SKILL
-[X] Gunnery
-[X] Conqueror Haki
[X] Usopp

Okay, so the logic with this vote is for Taylor to start to fight with firearms, which she demonstrated an affinity to in Worm canon during her time as Skitter, and getting a handle on our CH. Making sure Taylor can shoot with one hand if she needs to is also a good reason to train Gunnery.

Bringing Usopp is three birds with one stone situation for this as he :
1) Is the best suited to teaching Taylor how to shoot.
2) Is the most sensitive to out CH, making him a perfect barometer for training out control.
3) Need to toughen the fuck up to CH anyway.

So, Y'all focused on these newfangled skills.

Did any of you realize, that in pure stat, Taylor is at a level below Kaya, which is a relatively sedentary rich girl civilian, thus the ur-example of the most civilian that ever civilian?

I mean, I would hazard a guess that Taylor is still stronger than the typical Celestial Dragon, but DAMN!, she's weak.

Can I convince any of Y'all to vote on physical training?

Sorry but a lot of people are not smart enough to understand guns in this world are trash heck the guy they even want to teach her doesn't even use a gun he uses a Slingshot because guns are so garbage.

In this world anything south of a .50cal Long range anti material rifle Is basically a paper cut.

Thank you for the clarification.

There is something very satisfying about people taking your suggestions and voting for them, also more Zoro cause goddammit its my OTP now and its not even weird since they are roughly the same age, hell I think Taylor is older than him

Obviously you didn't see the Big Mom Arc, where Sanji a New World Level Combatant got hurt by a gun. Or perhaps that Whitebeard Commander that only uses firearms, Curiel, or the several members of the Shanks crew that seem to use guns

That isn't quite accurate there are top-level people who use guns like Yasopp and Benn Beckman of the Red Hair Pirates and as Izo and Curiel of the Whitebeard Pirates most notably as well people like Bege Capone of the Firetank Pirates and Van Augur of the Blackbeard Pirates.
The issue with guns is they really aren't the power equalizer they are IRL but they are still competitive with other options at higher levels.
 
I mean, skills like Haki, Battlefield Awareness, etc is nice and dandy, but without the basic stat necessary, Taylor will be worse than a Glass Cannon, yanno?

She'll be a paper cannon in the middle of rainstorm.

Seriously.

Personally I agree with opinions that Observation Haki is something we don't need yet thanks to Taylor's powerset pretty much. I think Arnament is a good skill to master as it will make her in overall more resilient and stronger, just in case she needs to take heavy hit.

And on Battlefield - it should be something Taylor would be good at. So yeah, it's kind of taking very popular vote so far and add my personal twist to it.

Also I can't find that quote that mentioned three types of powers in One Piece, which are Devil Fruit, Haki and Others.

Also this is a VERY OBSCURE information, so I wouldn't be surprised if many of you have no idea on it, but there is in a way fourth category. Which is magic.

Situations that mention it are black magic cult on Nakamura Island to summon Demon Lord. Brook disrupted this one.

Also far earlier example is a very minor example of a pirate called Spiel that used magic in some ways like to use it to fly on a broom, set things on fire, etc.

I wonder if this is a thing here?
 
I get people wanting to have Taylor be a command, haki, espionage focused fighter. I think we should build towards that as a goal.

But more immediately she should be able to help out on the ship as part of the crew, and she needs to be able to survive if her bugs fail.

So we should have Sailing for this turn, and get physical stats to at least mook level.

Changed to Zoro to hopefully get him to realize he can work on his own speed since a larger ship allows for it.
 
I don't see how we need observation at this point in the story when we are still barely able to take a single hit, I think we need to get to one piece normal first

I would see this as natural development not hindered by meta knowledge (every readers and questers eternal enemy) for Taylor to min/max into one direction first, see how she is lagging behind, and then, after she reached a comfortable plateau in her better skills, she'd decide to strap herself onto the training wheel to get her physical aspects up to snuff...

I don't see Taylor really realizing how weak she is compared to other ppls physique unless it is really driven in by a harsh lesson in survival. Wait untill the Drum Island ark (maybe?), this would surely be a good first wake-up call, but before that: no way she'd REALLY start to push the irons.

Don't forget, we are in a shonen world that is governed by anime logic. She would be able to follow and even overtake many a one piece character through sheer Determination and Perseverance. Taylor is no weak gal, she just came to a server with a vastly different physics engine and growth rate calculations.
 
... Also, I kind of want Taylor to specialize in magic now.

Sheer versatility of something as broad as magic would possibly cover more then few categories at once depending on what it provides. As I mentioned concept of Magic is 100% canon thing in One Piece, it's just limited to very few examples.

@RavensDagger Is it canon here as well or you simply can't answer it now, because it would be a heavy spoiler. As obviously I don't think we will get access to someone who would teach it to us in the first place anytime soon.

I think we could survive with 'glass cannon' build if we wanted to. Taylor is used to fighting Brutes, even top tier ones (like Lung or Alexandria). I think in character she would start training anyway, but if for some reason she would be limited in this fashion (like body NOT designed to take heavy abuse of One Piece training style), I think she would in the end adapt, if not thrive. So IMO if we want glass cannon build, I think with Taylor as a character it would be doable, as she is used to being someone who fighted people far, FAR superior strenght and durability wise then her. If not directly, then via trickery and good tactical thinking and improvisation on spot.
