Thank you very much. You summed up exactly what I wanted to do with this piece; I'm very happy that it actually seemed to work.
warning: wordy tangent ahead:I find myself being intrigued by Drum Kingdom that became the island without a name that became reborn as Sakura Kingdom. After years of Wapol's misrule, the country renounced its very name when he abandoned it before outside danger... but then it lived on for half a year without a name, without believing in itself. It was reborn when Wapol returned and the islanders rose up in rebellion against him around Dalton, who in return was inspired by Dr Hiruluk's desire to heal the soul of the island. Luffy's physical defeat of Wapol made it possible, but it was their own action and the memory of someone who thought they were good enough to save that gave them hope for the future. I find that quite interesting... and I think they'd try to find new rituals to commemorate their rebirth. /tangent
