the story so far(chap 7) seems interesting, i like it and would like for the mc to work independently from the strawhats, like make him have his own crew, give some quest to find the one piece, and don't give him a lot of devil fruit they are rare, like extremely rare, maybe every 50 to 100 chapters he by chance or plunder whatever, finds one, but not always get it's power, also i seemed to notice that you rushed the last chapters, the event were going so fast,so slow down a little, another point is that he is wasting his stat point while he could train for them, your story is great by the way keep on working
