Hello all!

YooHoo! was originally posted on FanFiction.net under the psuedonym 'Yuilhan'. It is my first, and probably only One Piece fan fiction that I will write. YooHoo! was posted on the 7th April 2014, after a seven week drafting period. (Yes, I'd been writing this sucker throughout my free periods at college and in my spare time. Over the weekend before it was originally published I put in a huge amount of time writing the last few chapters and proofreading.)

I've always liked One Piece, because although it's like every other Shonen manga out there (the protagonist fighting alongside their Nakama; for the sake of their Nakama; for what they believe in) the concept is drastically different, the characters are well thought out and have quirky traits of their own that you can't help but love. Plus who doesn't like pirates?

You can't even begin to imagine how many times I had rethought what happens on Aiko's adventure. Heck, Aiko wasn't even going to be called Aiko at the start. She would have been a Sarah, something mundane to go with her mundane life. Then it got upgraded to Lorelai, something more exotic and hinting towards the sea.  

Aiko's adventure also began in Shells Town, trailing after the Straw Hat crew. But that changed drastically, and did everyone like my decision to lumber Rayleigh into this?  

I'm sorry if there are a few mistakes. Like I do with all of my fics, I proofread them myself, and sometimes I will miss something, no matter how meticulous I am. If you do find something, please don't hesiate to drop me a message so I can fix it.

I'd like to say a thank you to my friend who may go by Kera (Yes, you know who you are...) for keeping me calm when I messaged her about my world limit exceeding what I wanted it to originally be by miles (10,000 was the target but that doubled... I've made so much work for myself...) YooHoo! Was also originally going to be published as one long length of prose, but I know how strenuous that can be on the eyes, and as the story grew longer, I decided to chop it up into bite-sized chapters instead. 

Although this is the end of the main story, a series of Omake will be published. If you have any unanswered questions concderning the story, and wish to request a specific Omake, just let me know and I can see what I can do.

Anyway, thanks for reading YooHoo! I hope you enjoyed my first attempt at a one piece fic. Don't hesitate to drop me a message- I like to know what you're thinking!
