Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.

I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.

But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

In memoirs, can a pokian truly die due to old age and not get back to life, even if he/she still has remaining lives? How do they "resurrect", btw? Is there a specific time for it to occur after they die, cus what if they have a devil fruit and died due to drowning in the ocean, then get instantly resurrected only to die from drowning again?

Yes! The hint lies within the old market keeper’s words from chapter one to Hoku about the whole thing. Pokians can eventually die of just old age–but it has to have certain circumstances met. Say, if they were to contract a disease at 80 and still had a life, they’d die and come back.

Typically, there’s a very short amount of time before they resurrect. In essence, depending on the death, a thin white light shrouds them and they’re just back. And yes! Exactly what Manu warned Hoku about and why the sent the Pokians to execution by water and fire–if you die, coming back to life is pointless if you’re in a state of danger–say, you drowned, but no one pulled your body out of the water–you’d just literally come back to life and drown over and over again. It is very painful and sad and insanity inducing.

Mhm, Tsuru was originally who Hoku was supposed to go to and by extended meanings, the marines!

Hoku’s about 5′7″ and some! A little taller than Luffy but the bastard just stretches. She and Nami are about the same height but Nami likes her heels sometimes and Hoku’s boots give her a smidge.

The people of Artopoki speak the language of the OP world ( a mix of english and japanese) but like the other countries in OP, have hints of an older culture and speak Pokian as well, making it a separate language (that’s basically a mix of hawaiian and some vietnamese words) so yes! she is bilingual

She can’t! Sadly. She can, however, boost the powers of ones devil fruit so for instance, say Luffy’s rubber could be in danger of being cut by an exceptionally powerful opponent, she could power up his skills and his rubber would be a lot more stronger/elastic. Her life force is transferred to people and things as her vitality, but she can’t substitute her own life force to that which is already living, which is why the inanimate objects can become animate because they have a housing for slices of her own soul to go into. (the animals have bits of her soul, so when they die a bit of her dies and if she were to loose too many she’d lose an entire life in total and have to revive/it’s also why they technically are like her ;))

I’m thinking about saying something else but i can’t, i’ll just say this is in regards to Hoku’s devil fruit, the viva-viva fruit.

Pokian legends, sure are interesting…

yes! under the fanart tag and Hoku, there’s some amazing fanart for her! i hope those will help, ill try drawing her one of these days

yes he does :) but he doesn’t like looking at it a lot because

yknow

ah! i thought about bringing this up but thanks for asking, technically they can’t! I know OP hasn’t gone into depth about the nature of devil fruits, just that once the user dies and leaves this world, the fruit will be reborn again–reincarnated. I’m going with the decision that for the devil fruit to be reincarnated, the soul of the person needs to fully pass on as well. When Pokians die, the soul is still tethered so they can come back with one of the lives, though Manu mentioned that sometimes this can grow strained the lower the count goes, i wonder what that means

HAHAHAH I CANT WAIT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN 374839BYEARS

she’d bitch to him about how useful his is because he doesn’t have to be a battery pack to anyone, but then quietly survey his drawing skills and i think he’d be very self conscious and rawr at her when he sees hers

but Hoku would definitely try to convince him to let her help him teach him a little, “they have sibling fruits pls Kanjuro let me help u”

HAHAHA SNOW WHITE BUT THE ANIMALS HATE HER GUTS

she’s not good at full out belting beautiful music, but Hoku’s a really great hummer and after awhile she can go into a fairly nice song, she doesn’t sing very often tho and mumble-hum a lullaby or two

i wonderrrrr ;)

not very very well, she’s not bad at designing them but actually cutting out fabrics and using her skills to put them together is a hot mess, she’s more of the i’ll produce the materials u make the magic happen

;)))

hehe yes yes! i wanna try to keep her bounty in ten million increments to keep the thing going

ofc this dumbass would be positive

hahaha, Hoku’s technically S- in the OP world which is the equivalent to O-, she’s a universal donor! donating blood from Pokians is actually safe because it’s being transferred, so it won’t stain ur insides if that makes sense? it needs to actually be outside to have staining properties.

-sobs incoherently-

i know right now it seems like its getting favoritism, but it’s just because the one piece storyline is so vast and there’s a lot i want to keep hammering out until i can settle into a slower pace with it, so it’s going to be seeing a bit more attention until i’m satisfied while i update others w it

i’d say maybe every two weeks? i’m trying to update ohbab and nascent and another memos rn but ohbab and nascent first

SORRY FOR THIS LONG ASS ASK, I HOPE THATS A LOT OF QUESTIONS ANSWERED YALL KEEP ME ON MY TOES, THANK YOU FOR CARING ENOUGH ABOUT THE STORY TO WANT TO ASK EDHFIOERNFIE
