Sailing with the Wind

[Blurb from ten years ago]:

"I'll do what I promised you, no matter what!"

"Hey, Mihawk, you're a man destined to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship."

"Shanks, it's only been a few years. Are you trying to test my medical skills?"

"Ace, don't fall asleep while you're eating!"

After sleeping for so many years, at least I didn't miss much.

There'll be a plot, and there'll be wish fulfillment.

I'll try to keep the characters true to the original, though they may occasionally go out of character. This is my first time writing, so feedback is welcome, but please don't be unreasonable.

As someone who has suffered from authors abandoning their stories, I'm determined to see this one through to the end.

That's all. Thank you. *Bows.*

[Blurb from ten years later]:

On the road to saving the world and your friends, you accidentally fall for someone at first sight.

The main story has a romantic, ambiguous vibe. The side stories have different endings. Also, sorry, this story is old, and the comments came after a long gap. I didn't know how to reply, so I didn't. In any case, thank you for commenting and for liking it.

Warnings:

1. This is an amateur story from ten years ago, with very childish, edgy writing. Emoticons and snark were popular back then, and it's kind of nostalgic. I kept them in the revised version, haha.

2. There's a lot of original plot, and the characters are seriously out of character! A reminder that this is an amateur story from ten years ago, so some character details may not match later canon. I haven't done a major rewrite.

3. The original story's timeline goes up to the Summit War. The characters are very out of character, and there's a great deal of original plot!

4. There is a briefly mentioned arranged marriage that falls through, as well as a male-female secondary couple.

5. This was my first fanfic, so some transitions and explanations aren't handled very well. Familiarity with the original story is recommended.

6. The main story ends without officially confirming the couple. See the side stories for the couple's ending.
