Bonus because I couldn't choose but it didn't look right putting them beside each other

SO, I made my own tragic legendary sea cookie since that seems to be the theme for devsis in between comms-

Beneath the dark, forgotten waves of the west sea, amongst a once bustling and colorful coral forest is it's sleepy monarch; Grand Reef Cookie. A jolly, yet strangely complaisant individual who spends his frail, doddering years tending to the decaying remains of his children's once proud homeland.

They have all left, of course. Some more hesitant than others to leave their loving father's side. But, Grand Reef Cookie was insistent of their retreat. That, unlike him, they were not bound to their namesake in soul and body. That the ocean held much more plentiful and vibrant sights that were not to be wasted fretting over a forgotten relic of the past. That doesn't stop many from visiting though... Bringing with them trinkets and offerings to help alleviate his wistful loneliness.

But, unlike some of his children, Grand Reef doesn't harbor any resentment for cookies. It's just not in his nature to harbor any hatred for... Well, anything, really. A reef is meant to be a nurturing and peaceful place for even the most ruthless apex predator, to be unwelcoming and unkind to even one creature would go against his very nature. ________

Why be a betrayed and/or volatile tragic, when you can be a sweet, hospice patient kind of tragic? That, and sea pollution and global warming tragic, I mean it's right there-

Known Bailey Family members:

Clay Bailey

(Golden child of the family. A gentle giant, a fervent bookworm, and a very skilled cowboy, farmhand, and rancher. A natural-born prodigy. Often feels crushed under the weight of expectations from his father, but still tries very hard to be what his daddy wants him to be. Gradually learns to stand his ground, but still has difficulties with buckling to his family.)

Jesse Bailey

(Clay's baby sister. Black sheep of the family, ran away to join an infamous biker gang out of resentment when her frustrations and loneliness reached a head. Openly antagonistic towards Clay because she felts his talents overshadowed her, but they were very close when they were younger.)

Daddy Bailey

(Patriarch of the family. Well-intentioned but hard-headed and old-fashioned, to the heavy detriment of his kids and his relationship with them.)

Momma Bailey

(Always knows what gifts Clay likes best.)

Granny Lily

(Clay's greatest fear. Gives hard cheek pinches and wet kisses that, as a kid from a southern family, Clay is really not allowed to refuse.)

Grandpappy Jeb

[No image available; only mentioned (TCG)]

(wears diapers, stays in a nursing home. Scrappy fighter who Clay has apparently fought before when he escaped his nursing home)

Cousin Buford

"Whew. I thought my cousin Buford was big. I'd hate to see what that fella [Cyclops] puts away for breakfast."

[No image available; only mentioned (Sizing Up Omi)]

(Is BIG, big enough to that even Clay was impressed at his size, but nowhere near as big as Cyclops)

Auntie May

"This place is creepier than auntie may givin' herself a sponge bath."

[No image available; only mentioned (The Emperor Scorpion Strikes Back)]

(Apparently gives herself sponge baths; implied Clay accidentally walked in on that at least once)

Uncle Otis

"Poor little fella's gonna last as long as a dab of gravy on my uncle Otis's lower lip."

[No image available; only mentioned (The Emperor Scorpion Strikes Back)]

(Apparently loves gravy)

Auntie Clarabelle

"Yeah, I'm not the one yellower than a slice of auntie Clarabelle's lemon silk custard pie."

[No image available; only mentioned (The Black Vipers)]

(Makes a very decadent lemon silk custard pie that Jesse apparently likes)

You think Crocodile's gonna blow his stack when he finds out how shitty Luffy's upbringing was? His baby boy repeatedly got tossed into the jungle to fend for himself against wild animals, as well as off cliffs and left to float into the fucking air on balloons all courtesy of Garp. He got left alone for long periods of time possibly as early as infancy, also cuz of Garp. And oh yeah, he was tortured by pirates, almost burned to death in a giant garbage fire, and went through the trauma of losing a brother.

Like, no matter how stern or distant of a parent Crocodile may be, I don't think he would be content to stand by and let any of that happen to baby Luffy. Also also, Crocodile witnessed firsthand Garp impeding Luffy's attempts to rescue Ace. The Cross Guild wants Garp for his bounty. Crocodile wants Garp for REVENGE.

With Garp I feel like it could go either way because like, let's be real for a second

This is 100% played for laughs.

Like if we're being serious then yes, in the Very Real World this is absolutely child neglect and abuse, Garp's parenting would NEVER fly (🥁) in our Very Real World. But just like Nami can physically abuse Luffy and co for laughts and get away with it, Garp's "training" is very much the same tonally, a Cartoon Slapstick Gag (made even more obvious when Toei animated Baby Luffy flying off into the sky going "UGYAAAAA" (that clip lives in my head rent free it's so funny??)) and a reflection of how this ridiculous old man (who might've been through even more ridiculous training in his childhood) views how a small child can be trained.

And so like. I could imagine Crocodile being like "who the fuck does that to a small child, are you insane" at Garp if he found out how Garp had been raising Luffy, but I think whatever reaction Crocodile might have would be played just as much for laughs as Garp's original comments were

Like IDK if Crocodile and Garp did have a relationship I think it would end up being similar to how Zoro and Sanji interact. Like Crocodile would to some degree be indebted to Garp because Garp did look after his son when he couldn't, and Garp wouldn't have a precious grandson (whom Garp sincerely does love, deeply) without Crocodile, so like. I think there could be like this mutual respect and gratitude for the other. But also it'd be kind of a begrudging gratitude and they would also hate each others guts and what they stand for and probably bicker. Lots. But in a funny way. (Like Zoro and Sanji)

Also I feel like even if Crocodile personally hated Garp's guts I don't think Crocodile would ever try anything to harm Garp. Like he saw how Luffy absolutely shattered after losing Ace, so even if Luffy and Garp's relationship wasn't the strongest, if Luffy loves his grandpappy then I don't think Crocodile would want to take his son's only grandfather, his family, away. Crocodile isn't in any kind of position to "take revenge" on the man who did look after his son for him (even if his methods were questionable at times) (Same for Dadan and the bandits too arguably)

The convenient thing of me letting this ask sit in my ask box for 20 days before actually responding is that I managed to post this thing the other day, and I want to continue an observation from that post; While I do agree Crocodile would probably be horrified to find out about all shit Luffy went through as a child... In the end, what's happened has happened, and I think Crocodile might believe that if he had wanted to ensure his son wouldn't have to go through things like that, then he should've raised the child himself. That Luffy's childhood not being all sunshine and rainbows is kind of his fault.

what still kills me about marie/marie is that its so fucking unnecessary. we as the audience had NEVER heard of grandma lynch beyond a vague mention in opal. she could have just NOT done the two maries. it added nothing. we could have saved an entire 3 pages to maybe use to answer ANY OF THE TEN BILLION QUESTIONS WE ALREADY HAD
