This is a great question 🤔

Zoro’s getting lost thing is hilarious and I would hate to deprive this au of it but I can’t see Kuina being quite so hopeless with directions? Although, I do think she is capable of being just as feral... maybe it’s a Shimotsuki village curse lol

If not for that, I’m not sure what it could be? I will have to think on it more

I don’t know if this has been done before but hear me out… Kuina lives Au

Not as in she faked her death, but as in she lived INSTEAD of Zoro. Everything else is the exact same. They still made their vows to become the greatest swordsman and to fight every day, but instead of Kuina falling down the stairs, Zoro died in some other sudden way.

Now I’m no expert with One Piece lore or anything, but from the way I’m imagining it, it could be that literally nothing would change about the plot of the main story. I like to imagine that, after Zoro’s death, Kuina goes through a similar character shift where she realizes she has to carry out both of their dreams. I always loved that Zoro’s three sword style represented the way that he was fighting in both of their names, and I feel that Kuina would have done the same thing in his honor. Zoro really seemed to inspire her with his determination that anyone can be great, and I don’t find it unreasonable that she also would have left the village to fight stronger opponents, likely even ending up as a strong bounty hunter in the East Blue, as Zoro did.

Now I don’t feel that we really saw a lot of Kuina’s personality relating to situations other than her and Zoro’s rivalry, but it’s pretty clear to me that her and Zoro are similar in a lot of ways. Kuina had more of a defeatist attitude about her future, but that was a product of the environment she was raised in. She clearly still had a strong fighting spirit, and once Zoro encouraged her (in his own way lol), she seemed to be susceptible to the dreamer mentality that Zoro— and many of the Staw Hats— have. If Zoro died instead, I think it would only add to the motivation she felt about overcoming her perceived weakness.

I’m not sure how exactly this would change the strawhats’ dynamics, though I think there would be something interesting there when it came to her relationship with Sanji, as I don’t imagine she would appreciate his flawed outlook on women.

I really like this idea!! It would be cool to see how they help each other throughout the story— I bet their interactions would be really interesting. I like to imagine that Tashigi would at first be less argumentative than she was with Zoro, perhaps even attempting to build some rapport with Kuina about their struggles, but Kuina wouldn’t appreciate it. She wouldn’t like any sort of special treatment because of her gender, a sentiment that tashigi sympathizes with, but might not relate to in the exact same way.

I really want to revisit this au soon! I’ve been busy with other projects but I really love Kuina and she really doesn’t get enough love.

@nia-rarita thanks for the ask! (Sorry I couldn’t fit both parts of ur amazing ask into this sbs, but I appreciate all the gushing XD)

Hey y'all! I'm teaching another workshop!

I don't post on tumblr much anymore, so if you don't know me, I was the animation director for the first seasons of Castlevania and The Owl House, the visdev animator for Across the Spider-verse, and the one who drew that Zagreus hair flip thing.

This time I'll be teaching draftsmanship for animation. If you're looking for ways to improve your drawing for animation, storyboarding, or really anything that requires speed and consistency, this is the one for you. I'll be sharing my own approach for drawing characters, as well as tips and tricks that are common in the animation industry.

It's on June 28th at 10am PDT. Hope to see you there!
