Strawhat photography agency

In modern AU I don't think many Strawhats can keep one job for too long and often move place to place. So ,idk why ,photography agency could work with them, but here is how I see it will work!

Nami and Robin are in charge of finance. Robin has experience with big firms and how they function, while Nami is good with money and negotiating. Brook is on marketing team with Sanji. Usopp and Franky are there for technical support when there's exposition. For photographers they have Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Jimbei and Chopper. Ofc others also take pictures time to time but it's usually these five.

Chopper & Jimbei take pictures of animals, Chopper more of forest animals and Jimbei of fish and other sea animals. Usopp focuses on city photos and some models Nami made deal with. Zoro is usually at sport events (mostly fancing, kendo and or general sword fighting), but there are some landscapes in his gallery. Luffy takes photos of whatever he finds intersting, food, sunsets, animals, plants, landscape, his friends. Sanji's gallery is full of pictures of food and beautiful ladies. Franky pictures robots, cars and engendering marvels. Brook is music photographer, sometimes being model along Nami and Robin.

THIS!!! I also don't see Luffy having one job or going to collage. He was probably sent to military/police by Garp but left shortly after because he didn't like it or wanted to travel/go on adventure. He just travels around the world taking any job he can find. Job he keeps the longest is photography since it allows him to be as free as he wants. He may meet other Strawhats along his journey. He may try to expose wrong-doings of government or just help people he meets, probably committing crime or two along the way.

I cannot fathom Zoro going to college or having a steady job in modern aus

Like I can only see him being maybe homeschooled for half his school life then put into public school for the other half. Then he graduates with decent enough grades, his highest ones being in PE and idk maybe some honors math class? Then he goes on to have the messiest resume, he jumps from job to job constantly because he's either become too bored of the job or he straight up doesn't like it. He's that guy who worked too hard in school and immediately burned out afterwards. He likely isn't going to settle on a job for some time, probably not until his 30s? Minimum late 20s. Swords would be reduced to a collection though I think it would be a once shared dream of fighting with them competitively? I don't know much about kendo (competitions) though, but it is better than settling on fencing (which I do know a little more about; thank you miraculous ladybug lmao). But yeah, no.... Zoro wouldn't go to college. He'd be a very messy 19-21 year old who's always just scraping by, been through several roommates, evicted twice, won't take handouts from his family. A lot of people would describe him as lost, he doesn't know where he's going in life.

But also he still has to be a criminal. Probably petty crimes like shoplifting or public intoxication. Like let's be real, all the straw hats would still be criminals in a modern au lmao

I read Hokazono's one-shots and here is how they are conected/inspire Kagurabachi

Let's start from oldest - Enten.

Quick summary: By mastering martial arts one can obtain spirit beast. Two people challenge each other and gain spirit beast of the own.

For some reason this one gives me Naruto vibes, don't know why. Spirit beasts are somewhat similar to Enchanted blades, both manifesting as animal (enten-fish, Cloud Gouger- dragon,  Magatsumi- plants/insects, Tobimune- crow/birds). Similarity can be also drawn between spirit beats and Tenri's jellyfish which is manifestation of his spirit energy with help of Datenseki.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll group Saraba! Cherry Boy! and Madogiwa de Amu, since they are rather short. Saraba! Cherry Boy! is story about revenge and assassin, which is theme that appears in Kagurabachi. Madogiwa de Amu is romance and isn't really thematically similar to Kagurabachi.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Chain one-shot we can see inspiration for Tafuku's design and idea of sorcery/group of sorcerers, sorcery being controlled by hand signed similar to Hakuri's Isou.

--------------------------------------

And last one is Roku no Meiyaku which is closest to Kagurabachi. Revenge, magic sword, feathers, bloodbath, death of someone close. MC wants revenge for his dead friend, gaining power is after making deal with demon Lucille is similar to Tobimune's crow.

Look at this panels! The origin of Kagurabachi's amazing double spreads.

Thoughts about Kunishige's death and Enten

Hishaku know that Kunishige made Enchanted blades and they want their power. But why kill man who made them? They could keep him alive and force him to make more blades. Maybe they too fear power of Enchanted blades.

Kunishige made Enten for himself in case his hideout is in danger. Why would he let his dearest son wield dangerous and powerful weapon of war. Even swordsmanship he and Samura taught Chihiro it was for self defense. Last thing he wanted for his son is to follow his path, path covered in blood.

I think Kunishige give his life in order to protect Chihiro. He didn't reveal power of Enten to Hishaku (probably the reason they didn't take it with rest swords). He sacrificed his life so his son can live. he sacrificed his work so his son could live. He sacrificed his everything with hope they will let his son live.

After his death he left Enten to Chihiro so he can protect himself. He never thought Chihiro would go for path of revenge.

Hiruhiko said Hishaku hired 68 sorceres, and I'm wondering how did they pay them??? They are broke asf! did they sell that lighter that they got from killing Kunishige??

Liaos's favourite food is cheesecake, because after one rough day Falin made his one to cheer him up. She tried her best and that made Liaos very happy. She used to make him one whenever he felt sad. That's why he loves cheesecakes.

What would big3 mc study at uni

Naruto - law/politics. he wants to became hokage which is something like politician, i guess? If he is law student he probably bs himself to the victory and talk no jutsu.

Ichigo -literature (English). Really good student even tho he doesn't often go to classes, working as substitute shinigami is time consuming.

Luffy - Sports.I needn't say more. He is athletic and really good at gymnastics. His gramps wanted him to join military. Went to uni to escape going to military.

Blue Lock uni AU part 1

Isagi- programing. WANTS to be best student, no one can be better at him. His code has to be best, most optimal. Rivals with Kaizer and Rin.

Bachira -Art major. He admires his mom's art and wants to make similar art to hers. His art is more abstract and usually depicts his monster.

Chigiri- journalism. More focused on sport journalism, since he got his name mention in newspaper as kid. His second choice was literature because he reads a lot of novels.

Kunigami- Teacher. Wants to be good teacher and inspire kids to learn. May have depression episode here and there, but is ok.

Reo - business management. Rich kid who will inherit dad's company. He wanted to study something else but was pressured by family to study business management.

Nagi- business management. Was told by Reo that this course is easy and will he will be able to get high paying job and. Not huge fan of morning classes. Often playing games during lecture. Always seen with Reo.

We need to see Chihiro forge something. Anything. Sword, knife,metal gate, random piece of jewelry.

Chihiro will find it hard to forge , because it will remind him of his father and everything he lost.

Strawhat cooking skils

Master Chef: Sanji. This man has entire database of recipes in his head. Name a dish and he can make it

Very Good Chef: Usopp & Franky. Franky can make great machines and some amazing dishes tho they may be bit unusual. Usopp lived by himself for good part of his childhood and mastered handful of recipes.

Average: Nami, Robin, Jimbei. Sanji usually cooks for Nami and Robin, so they don't really have to cook. Learned few recipes from childhood. Jimbei can make good bbq.

Trying his best (Best helper): Chopper. He doesn't often cook, usually helping Sanji. He is happy to help.

Is ban from kitchen: Luffy & Zoro. Luffy will eat all ingredients and Zoro will just get drunk.

Chihiro would often cook for haruharu group. He will also teach Hakuri and Char how to make simpler dishes.

Haru Haru group sharing apartment

I believe HaruHaru gruop would live in shared apartment above or close to Cafe Haru Haru. Chihiro would share room with Hakuri, Hinao with Char and Shiba would have his own room. He would brag how he has room just for himself, but is secretly jealous cause he's alone.

I feel like Franky would mow the lawn at 3am. Or it could be Jimbei, he gives more of dad vibe. Franky would do it just because he made new landowner and is testing it.

Rating Strawhats on how good they handle spicy food 🌶️

i feel like sanji would make food bit spicier for it to last longer(prevent luffy from eating all food in fridge)

Luffy & Chopper - Can't handle spicy food in slightest.

Jimbei & Zoro- can handle mild spicy food but doesn't really like it

Nami, Robin & Sanji - Don't have problem wit it.

Brook & Usopp - no amount of spice can affect them. Can eat spiciest food without a problem.
