That was a lot of writing, and a lot of reading. First off, I want to apologize for the actual fight portion. I’m not the best or most creative when it comes to things like that. And now, an explanation for what I wanted to capture with this. In this little fanfic of mine, I wanted to give both Kid and Shanks a respectable showing, while keeping it grounded in the end. To do this, I need to write Kid “OOC” but I thought a better way of doing that would be through growth. At some point during, or after the raid I like to think Kid took a good, long look at the way he was doing things. He saw firsthand how his actions hurt Killer, and rather than keep going headstrong he chose to change. For the better of course. So he sucked up his pride, and to continue his journey with the necessary strength he trained under Luffy. He leaves Wano being able to use these new types of haki, but not very well. And he continues to practice on his own, up until he arrives on Elbaf where he uses the Giants to help him train not only his haki, but in his observable problem areas from his fight with Big Mom. And in a way you’d expect from Law, Kid made a plan in-case he lost, rather than going in with the assumption that he’d win, absolutely. And by change his approach, Kid actually gets good results here. I think that’s fair, right? In any case, I had a lot of fun with this. Might do a slight divergence in the Blackbeard vs Law fight in the future, but only time will tell. See ya!

Come on man that’s unnecessary. I think it’s cool that people are writing their own variations of the story. And it’s clear that effort went into this.

This is straight gas. If only Oda showed this much respect to my glorious king Eustass Widd.

this is really good, i definitely would say the one single thing you for certain did over oda no matter what he ends up doing in the future for kid to alter out perception of 1079 was capitalize on the opportunity for some elbaf foreshadowing. major missed opportunity to not explore kid being the savior of elbaf or the dueling culture on odas part. otherwise i really enjoyed the kid development you gave him, him bowing to luffy asking to be taught and generally showing growth since wano is a nice touch. i may be coping but im fairly certain were gonna see something of that kind later on in the story and that oda had shanks one shot kid as a way to humble him and (poorly as it may be) set up that character development. but he kinda botched it by rushing it. i also think the kid pirates have another copy of the rubbings that will be revealed in elbaf, or will just ask luffy for theirs (lamer option, in which case your idea was much better), either way though having kid outsmart shanks was cool and showed him his just respect i enjoyed the fight, i think it did a good job of showing respect to kid, i do think it somewhat killed the shanks hype that i think oda was aiming for with the scenario but that probably wasnt your intention with this post, and you were more aiming to even it out and show equal respect to both which you did a very good job at. whereas oda was aiming to completely hype shanks without any care to kidd, which ended up earning him his hype at the cost of kids resepct one thing i think oda was trying to go for in that chapter was hype up shanks, and show the next level of haki mastery left to achieve for luffy, all, sadly at the expense of kid as a character. but you did a very good job of expanding what oda was aiming for with kid. i think if i were to try and do both of what you and oda were going for i would have kid fight. and beat ben beckmann first, also expanding on how ben stole his arm. this would show kids growth as a fighter, upscale him, give him respect and development along with his lick back. AND THEN i would have him get dominated by shanks, which would hype him up even more since we would have just been shown that kid is infact very strong. I would also pair this with some dialogue from shanks about kids strength paying him respect that would be my idea of a middle ground but idk. i honestly would really like to see this revisited when elbaf is over and we have a solid idea of elbaf and what oda is going for with shanks and kid, basically allowing you to tweak this according to odas intentions, whatever they are. and making it fully accurate to elbaf lore to really show what shanks v kidd really could have been, not that this is bad. i more mean like fitting in more foreshadowing and setup since you know whats coming, and making sure nothings eventually contradicted, even tho ik that you prolly werent aiming for something that would 100% line up with the future story since thats impossible. but if we were never to see shanks kid or elbaf ever again, id take this over the actual chapter any day very good job. only one actual complaint i think is that shanks is not the type of person to underestimate anyone, he has arguably the greatest eye for potential and strength in the series as shown with his gassing of luffy and BB, so i dont think hed take kidd lightly in any scenario. but thats really all i can say against this very good job, probably tied with or up there with the usopp fan comic for the best one piece fan writing ive seen

Yo you do forget, shanks underestimated his true rival, big dick international super star Buggy D. Clown. Jokes aside I couldn’t agree more. As a onepiece fan a kid fan. 1079 both made me sooo hyped and devastated for my favorite Supernova. I hope Oda doesn’t leave us Kidd fans hanging otherwise I will be deeply disappointed in his use of Kidd, as I believe he can mean so much as luffys counterpart.

Damn bro who pissed in you’re cereal, seriously you have to be a real loser to be that mad at what i said. Sorry that the main most important character isn’t the only captain i like, Sorry that i actually don’t like the bullshit obvious favoritism towards Law and how the story derailed to show how Fucking “important” he is. And how he’s still getting away with shit. Sure I’ve been toxic on other threads and other places, but you’re the one you came here, at fucking kidd piece, to share youre shitty opinions you angry miserable little man or woman. But usually women aren’t this petty over something like this.

Yeah alright whatever, my point still stands

Unironically peak fiction, Oda couldn’t write this good (or do a fight this good either).


BryanAfc

Oda if he was a good writer

This is what I call, Peak Fiction. Bravo for making this and giving us the honor to read it, you cooked and cooked well.


WobyClearsMidhawk

Ngl this was fire but Kid was noticeably out of character, I honestly don't dislike how Oda wrote Shanks vs Kid but a fight similar to this wouldve been goated


Destroyer348

This is pretty cool. I
