this is an optional, self-contained chapter! you can skip it, but it's so good...
this chapter started with me inspired to do more in another dimension and explore the pirates more. the initial idea was to make a short chapter with 80 panels. the project got out of control and ended up with 590 panels, the largest chapter so far. this chapter is a lot of fun and i recommend it to anyone who wants to read something of mine without having to follow the main story, since it's self-contained!
my only problem is that in the 4 months i worked on this comic, i thought the story was dragging too much and started rushing the pacing. i don't think the ending is rushed, but the pacing shift is noticeable. this leads to my only problem with this chapter: in the final fight, panrata was supposed to fall into the water and see a shark. want to know what happened to that panel? i also want to know, because FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE COMIC, THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AND I NEVER DID IT!! i have no idea why, there was plenty of room for it to happen before, and in the fight, but i just didn't do it. this doesn't ruin the chapter, it's just poorly explained. you're free to come up with an interpretation of why he didn't see the shark in the final fight.
