This manga is in every way mediocre in my opinion, and has zero bearing on my childhood. So it's strange that I find this so nostalgic and endearing. It doesn't do anything special. I've read better fights, better characters, better plots, better everything, but I still enjoy it. I wonder if it has anything to do with my Pirate obsession. I give this a 7/10. It's the perfect read for when you've read every 8+/10 in your favorite genres, or when you've had your fill of gore and psychological trauma and just want something nice to read, for a change.
