#But we would lose tiger Zoro

[charkyzombicorn]

Have you chosen a god for your fruit basket au

If not here as a list of people who could fit the role

Imu

Uta

Black beard

Helmeppo

Crocodile

Akaiune

Kaya

Kido

Big mom

Enel

A celstial dragon

Rob lucci

Boa

Geko morria

Shuger

Requirements for God character in fruit's basket au:

Needs to be someone generally Not Okay with change

Needs to be someone all the strawhats plus Ace and Sabo would be loyal to into teenagehood and adulthood (this curse would be hard to keep if it was someone Luffy disliked was god and Luffy just immediately denied them because that's how he is)

Needs to be someone easily influenced

This is why I'm still leaning towards making Usopp the god and just making the whole Big Issue Water 7-adjacent, I could make it Uta also but then Zoro would have broken his curse easily because Zoro won't get told to obey someone he doesn't like and can't get anything from

Yearning for more than just dreams.

Dream Eater Demon!Luffy x Female Reader.

I’m making the dream demon series. We have Zoro & Luffy so far. Wonder what Sanji will be like.

Contains: (Representing the Baku) Hungry Dream Eater Demon!Luffy! Luffy having four arms and a cloud-like body. Luffy having a little monkey tail. (It says tiger paws and an ox tail for the Baku but I wanna match it more w Luffy’s animal) Luffy has one cock that can stretch but doesn’t hurt when stretching Reader. (All the Dream demons in the series will have different anatomy.) Luffy having his cloudy fluffy hair and rosy pink eyes. Reader struggling to sleep because of Luffy eating her dreams. Luffy getting caught eating Reader’s dreams. Luffy also comes out the closet just like Zoro. Pussy eating. Fingering. Vaginal & Anal. Multiple rounds. Overstimulation. Luffy nearly losing himself. A few creampies. Porn without plot again.

Your breathing was subtle while you lord there in your bed. It was a chilly night, night where it made it easier to sleep due to the cold air. You were halfway sleep but you could still hear everything that was going on around you. You could hear the heat leave the vent in the corner of your room, the sound of the wind blowing outside.

The sound of your closet door slowly creaking open.

All normal sounds that you would usually hear at night before you fully fell asleep. You lord there still and listened a bit harder, wondering why you suddenly felt a pressure and a presence near you. You could feel something or someone near you, but you refused to open your eyes. The sleep was heavy on your eyelids and even though you were a lighter sleeper, it was sorta hard to open your eyes.

You squirmed around in your bed, now uncomfortable and struggling to wake up and open your eyes. Your breathing now grew frantic and you were letting out worrisome whimpers. You let out a gasp before you finally shoot up from your bed, letting out a heavy sigh as that experience scared you.

It was like…you were being forced to stay asleep. It was a good thing you were a light sleeper. You look around your room, still feeling that odd feeling of a presence being near. You then remember…your closet door was cracked open. You slowly turn to look, shuddering as you kept your blankets up to your lips.

Why was it open again? Why the hell does it keep opening at night?

It was dark but the moonlight provided natural light for you to see just a bit of your closet. Fog was spewing from the crack of the closet and it was now filling your room, making you panic. You shuddered at the cold and crisp feeling of the fog kissing your skin, making you shake and breathe out heavily.

You didn’t want to get out of your bed, you knew better than to do that. Yet part of you yearned to seek what was in that closet of yours. Every time you would check, it were the usual things that would be in your closet and nothing more. But why was fog spilling out of the closet? What in hell was causing this.

“Oi…Ya interrupted m’meal…”

You freeze at the reverbed voice behind you and slowly turn around.

His head was in his hands, four hands to be exact. He was floating there with his legs crossed, staring down at you with his beautiful rose quart eyes. His tail swayed as he stares down at you with interest, his eyes and hair glowing and shimmering in the darkness. You frantically scoot back and away from your headboard while he floats down onto your soft bedding, looking at you and crawling closer to you.

“Oi- Come back! I ain’ finished eatin’ yet!”

“W-What’re you talking about!? Who are you!?”

You yelled out in fear, biting your lip to suppress your scared and worried noises. “I was eatin’ ya dreams! They taste s’good! Gimme em’ back an’ lemme finish dammit!” He yells, stretching his four arms out to you. You yelp out before full on screaming as he wraps his arms around you, binding you right tight while he pulls you close to him.

“Shh shh! Hush! Ya too loud!” He whispers to you, pressing on of his hands to your mouth. You struggle and squirm in his stretchy arms, whining as you tried to break free. He stares at you blankly before looking at you up and down. He moves in closer to you, staring you deep in the eyes before putting a finger to his lips.

“Shhh, I ain’ gonna hurt ya. Jus’ calm down!” He says to you. You shiver but nodded, quieting down for him while he releases you from his arms. You scoot back a bit but he scoots closer to you, still staring at you with those rosy eyes of his. “W-Well…What’re you d-doing here..? Eating my dreams you said?” You asked him nervously, still a little shaken by his appearance.

“Yeah. M’name’s Luffy. An’ m’a dream eater. I eat’cha dreams an’ nightmares. Both taste good as hell ta me!” Luffy introduced himself, pressing his hands to your shoulders and pulling you closer to him. “I’ve neva seen ya fully though…Ya dreams an’ nightmares’re s’good…but ya look even tastier than em.” Luffy says, complimenting you on your looks in a way.

His first pair of his hands were against your shoulders and while the second pair was planted on your sides. You were silent and still rather stunned and sleepy, and at this point you were ready to get back to bed. Luffy wasn’t finished though.

“I’ve seen and ate all ya dreams.” He whispers to you, making your eyes widen and your face flush with slight embarrassment. “E-Even-“ You words trails off and Luffy nods, a sly smirk appearing across that cute little face of his. “Yup. Even them naughty dreams of ya’s. They taste the absolute best, but ya don’ dream em often…” Luffy sighs, wishing he could have a taste of those sweet dreams once again.

He was practically salivating at the thought of the taste, his body shuddering with excitement while you stared at him with heavy embarrassment written all over your face. “I-I didn’t think y-you’d see those t-too…” You stammered, your body growing hot as you turned away from him. Luffy chuckles at your embarrassment and he moves in closer to you, cupping your soft yet warm cheeks.

You stared back at him before looking away nervously again, sighing out while a yawn follows after. “Well- Lemme put ya t’sleep so I can finish eatin’.” He says, pushing you down onto your bed while he straddled your hips. Luffy reaches a hand out to the straps of your tank top but you pull away, making him quirk a brow. “What’re ya pullin’ away for?” He asked you.

“W-What do you mean by put me back to sleep?” You asked him, a little bit too sleepy to piece together what he means.

Luffy smiles before letting out a little snicker. “What else d’ya think I mean?~” He asks you, his hands trailing back to your tank top straps before pulling them from your shoulders. Your tank top slide off of your body, revealing you breasts to him and making Luffy hum out in response. He immediately cups them and begins to fondle the soft mounds, making you mewl out softly and press your hand against his.

He slides back and his other hands begins to slide down to your thighs, gripping them before spreading them open with a hungry look on his face.

“W-Wait- L-Luffy- Mmh!~“

A sudden gasp leaves your lips as you felt his thumb rub up against your clothed slit, teasing you while you sat there and watched him. A mewl leaves your lips as you felt him rub your pussy through your panties, a soaking wet spot slowly appearing after a few touches. Luffy groans out in delight, pressing smooches to your breasts and trailing up your chest while he multitasks on your body.

“Mmmh~ Ya already wet? All m’doin is touchin’ ya~” Luffy giggles, laying down onto his tummy while his second pair of hands rubbed at your inner thighs. You blushed and watched as he rubs your clit through the fabric while fondling your breasts. A heavy gasp leaves you as he continues to massaged your pussy through the thin fabric.

“Mmgh~ L-Luffy~” You moan out his name shakily while his digits played with your clothed cunt, his eyes half-lidded while he gave you that mischievous smirk. His hands were soft and skilled, and he watched as your face contorted with every touch he gave you.

“L-Luffy!-“

“I shoulda done this sooner, ya moans and faces are s’cute~ Ya pussy’s soakin’ against m’fingers~” He says, moving in even closer to your panties. He slowly slides farther between your legs and onto his tummy, lying down so he could relax and focus more on your pleasure. He presses his nose up against your pussy, making you mewl out suddenly while he sniffed at your heat.

You shivered as he slowly peels your panties off, watching as a string of slick disconnects from the fabric and your pussy. “S’fuckin’ wet~ Fuck, ya soakin’ f’me~” He huffs out, spreading your pussy open with a little smile across his face. He presses a smooch to your pussy while his fingers tease at your entrance, a mewl leaving your lips as he did. He slides his tongue along your slit and mewls out at your flavor, huffing out before he continues to lap at your clit.

His thumb teases your hole and he slowly pushes two digits past your entrance, making you gasp out. “A-Ahh!~ L-Luffy~” You moan out his name so cutely and he looks up and smiles while suckling on your clit. His fingers quickly began to pick up speed, fucking your pussy with his fingers while you sucked them in. You grind your hips against his tongue and fingers, his noises growing louder as he pulls your hips in closer to him.

His other pair of hands stayed playing and massaging your breasts, pinching your nipples suddenly. “F-Fuck Luffy that feels s-so good~” You moaned, reaching a hand down to his cloudy fluff of hair and combing your fingers through his cloud-like strands. Luffy hums out and continues, his fingers moving at a faster pace and repeatedly hitting your g-spot.

“Feels good eh?~ Does this feel s’good t’ya?~” He asks, his heart-shaped pupils looking up into your contorted and pleasure-filled face. “M-Mhmm~ I-It feels g-great~” You whine out, arching your back a bit while biting your bottom lip. Luffy chuckles before removing his fingers from your pussy, his mouth moving away from your clit. A string of saliva tears from his tongue and your pussy, and you’re disappointed.

You whine out and let out a heavy sigh, a bit upset that he just suddenly edged you. He pulls all of his hands away from you, suckling on his two fingers on which your flavor lingered. “Ya wan’ me ta give ya sum better?~” He asked, his hands moving down to his pearly-white shorts. You sit up onto your elbows and watched as he pulled down his shorts and briefs, revealing his cock to you.

Your face flushes and your eyes widens at the size, he was girthy but goodness if he wasn’t long as well. “A-Are you sure t-that’ll…” You asked reluctantly, your words trailing off out of slight worry. Luffy giggles and wraps his first pair of hands around your hips. “I promise it’ll feel good when I push in! It won’ hurt’cha!” He says, trying to reassure you.

Though you weren’t convinced. Not one bit.

His tail wags and pulls your hips closer to his, his cock lying up against your sticky slit. You moan out at the warmth of his cock and huff out from the nervousness deep in your tummy. “S’okay~ I promise~” He says to you, moving in closer to your face before pressing a smooch to your lips. You mewl out shakily and deepen the kiss, giving him a few more smooches while he hums out in response. You pulls back and sigh out before nodding, wrapping your arms around his neck and your legs around his hips.

He slowly slides his cock along your slit, his tip grinding against your clit and making your body shudder with the combination of delight and nervousness. He presses his tip against your entrance and looks up at you. “Relax f’me~ Kay?” He whispers to you, giving you a sweet little smile. You take a deep breath and exhale before nodding to him. “O-Okay…” You respond nervously, holding on to him a bit tighter.

He slowly pushes past your entrance and you moan out, enjoying the feeling of his cock sliding into your pussy. Your moans makes a smile spread across Luffy’s face and he hisses out as he bottoms out inside of you, trailing his tongue along his lips. You moan out shakily as you felt his tip smooch your cervix, his tail wagging as your walls tighten even more around his length. “See? I-I told ya~ H-Hah~” He says shakily, looking down into your eyes.

“F-Feels good~ T-That feels so good~” You moan out, your hips squirming a bit against his as you rushed for him to start moving. Luffy’s grip on your hips grows tighter as he begins moving his hips and thrusting into you at a fast pace. You hold on to him tightly while you moan out angelically, enjoying the feeling of his cock massaging your walls yet kissing all the right spots.

“Fuck ya s’tight~ Oh god ya so tight~” Luffy huffs out, his thick and cloudy brows furling as he lifts your hips up a bit higher to get a better angle. “Mmmgh~ L-Luffy~ Hah- L-Luffyyy~” You moan out his name whine you scratched your nails against his back, making him hiss out in response. “Kiss me baby g-gal~” Luffy demands, pressing his lips hard against yours. You whine out while your toes curls from the pleasure, your back arching while you thrusted your hips up into his and tried to match his rhythm.

Luffy pulls back and chuckles, huffing out like a dog in heat while he fucked you hard into your bed. Your bed rocked with every thrust he gave you, fucking you a bit harder while he pins you onto your bed. “S’good~ Fuck it’s s’fuckin’ good~ Ya pussy feel s’good ‘round m’dick~” He huffs out, his hand moving down to rub and massage your clit.

You mewl out in response, trying your best to gain the breathe he knocked out of you repeatedly.

“Fuck, turn over f’me- Turn over~” He demands, watching as your body rocked from his thrusts. You struggle to turn over so he does it for you, helping your roll over onto your side and lifting one of your legs up a bit high for a better angle. You whine out and grip your quilt, whimpering while you felt your cunt tightening around him even more.

“I-I’m close! I-I need to cum L-Luffy!~” You gasp out, looking up to him while he stared down at you with lust in his eyes. “Cum on m’dick then! I ain’ stoppin’ ya~” He chuckles, pressing his body against yours and peppering sticky smooches onto your skin. His thumb moves a bit faster on your clit, making you whine and mewl out while you struggled to keep yourself composed. “L-Luffy!~ O-Oh L-Luffy! M-M’fucking cumming!~” You huff out, your eyes rolling up while your body began to shudder.

Luffy concentrates on you, trying to just force your orgasm out of you while you whine out in desperation. “Ohh It’s coming! I-I’m cumming!~” Your body trembles and you gasp out as your squirt out onto your quilt, your eyes shutting tight while your hand held on to the quilt so tightly.

Luffy continues even after your orgasm, chasing after his high while you were still experiencing yours. You huff out in slight overstimulation while Luffy continues to fuck your pussy. “Lemme cum~ M’almost fuckin’ there~” He groans out, huffing while he bites his bottom lip so tight. You whine out as your pussy unconsciously tightens around his cock, begging for him to release yet still begging for more of him.

Luffy groans out and breathes heavily against you, his cock twitching within your velvety walls as he felt himself ready to cum into your pussy. “Cummin’! I’ma cum inside f’ya~” He groans out, his body now sticky with sweat and sticky against yours. You whine out shakily as he thrusts into you all rigorously, making you gasp out.

“Ah!~ Hah!~ Fuck m’cummin’!~” Luffy groans out, his eyes rolling up as he finally bursts and blows his load into you. His body shudders and he gasps out shakily as cums deep inside of your pussy while you cry out from overstimulation. Your body trembles from the feeling of his warm and thick cum filling you up, a mewl leaving your lips slowly after while he lies down against your body.

“Hah~ So…So fuckin’ good~ Fuck this body of ya’s is so fuckin’ good~” He huffs out sitting up while he slowly struggles to pull out of your pussy. You whine shakily as you felt him sliding out of you, a sweet and heavy yawn leaving your lips and making your eyes tear up.

Luffy stares down as you and pulls you into his arms, a sweet smile appearing across his face as he was happy and content with filling you up.

Although…That wasn’t enough.

Your body was trembling in his embrace but you smile back to him before another yawn leaves your lips. “Oi…Ya fallin asleep on me…?” Luffy asked, now upset to see you dozing off in his arms. “M-Mhmmm…” You nodded sleepily, wrapping your arms around his body and slowly shutting your eyes. Luffy blinks blankly before pulling you away from his warm embrace, his rose eyes staring deep into your sleepy ones.

He snickers and it catches your attention.

“I know I said that I was gonna put ya ta sleep…but…I wanna fuck ya even more now~ Even though I love eatin’ ya fuckin’ dreams, this is s’much fuckin’ better.” He says his words so confidently and you can’t help but to listen, his words suddenly waking you right on up.

He slowly lays your body back onto the bed, this time with your ass facing up towards him. “L-Luffy what’re you doing…?” You asked him, propping yourself up with your arms. Luffy’s hands grips your hips and trails along your skin, fondling at your softest skin while staring at your rear.

“Ya pussy is fuckin’ amazin’. But ya ass is lookin’ tasty too~” You blushed as you felt Luffy pressing his warm hands against your cheeks, spreading them open while you blush out of embarrassment. “Lemme fuck ya ass too.” Luffy whispers to you, sitting back onto the bed and pulling your ass up against his cock. You could tell he was growing rather indecisive of the position he wanted. “O-Okay…Just be careful this time…” You tell him, a little sigh leaving past your lips as you yearned to go to sleep.

Luffy softly grips your ass before spitting a bit of drool out onto it, giving it a bit of natural lubricant to allow himself to slide in easily. He slides himself against your rear entrance before fully pulling you down onto his length, making you hiss out while your body shudders from the intrusion. “Relax, it ain’ gonna hurt jus’ like th’first time~” Luffy says to you, burying his nose between your neck and inhaling your scent.

He pushes the rest of his cock inside of you, a whine spilling past your lips as he began to thrust into you at a slower pace this time. You mewl out as you felt him thrust deep inside of your rear entrance, a heavy gasp leaving your lips as he hits you with a sharp thrust. “Mmhh!~ L-Luffy!~” You whine out to him, your toes curling as he begins to fuck you a bit faster. His eyes watched your breasts bounce with every slap of hips against your ass.

His first pair of hands cup and massage your breasts while his breathing grew heavy in your ear. “Fuck ya squeezin’ me even tighter down here~ Ya body’s s’fuckin’ good~” Luffy groans out, laying you down onto your tummy while he pulls your hips farther against his. The sticky and sloppy noises only turned you on more as you listened to him fucking you so hard yet so tenderly. “ A-Ahh~ F-Fuck~” You groan out, your brows furling while you lift your hips up a bit more for Luffy. “H-Harder Luffy~ P-Please~” You begged, your body shuddering while as you felt Luffy’s grip grow tighter on your hips.

Luffy smiles widely and huffs out, slamming his hips hard against your ass and squeezing your breasts tighter. Your moans grew louder and you arch your back while Luffy moves his first pair of hands from your breasts.

He slides his hand’s down to your cum-filled pussy, shoving his fingers past your entrance and into your g-spot while you gasp out in sudden shock and pleasure. Your body jolts as you felt him finger your pussy while he fucked your ass, his other hand tending to your clit while his first pair of hands held on tight to your hips.

“Does this feel good? This feel better f’ya sweet gal?~?” Luffy asked, huffing out into your ear before pressing a smooch against it. “Y-Yessss! Yes it feels s’fuckin good! L-Luffy!~” You huff out, clenching your teeth tight as he fucked your pussy with his fingers. Luffy chuckles and licks his lips, enjoying the feeling of his fingers deep inside of your sticky pussy while his cock was deep in your ass.

You felt tears brewing in your eyes from the overstimulation, hyperventilating as you felt yourself wanting to cum again. Luffy feels both of your entrances tighten up and he presses his body tight against yours, fucking you and causing the bed to rock even harder than before. “Fuck baby~ Fuck m’gonna cum in ya again~ Ya wan’ me t’cum in ya ass hm? Ya wan’ me t’fill ya up full?~” Luffy asks, huffing out while his hips were sticky against your ass.

“M-Mmghyesss~ Y-Yesshh~” You nodded, a bit unresponsive and unable to speak due to the immense pleasure. You were struggling to speak, so your sentence just comes out in broken moans and mewls. Luffy laughs at your fucked out expression and presses a smooch to your neck, making you shudder.

Luffy thrusts his fingers at a faster pace into your pussy while he fucks your ass, kissing your g-spot with his fingertips. “Fuck! Fuck m’cummin! M’cummin’!” Luffy huffs out, his mouth opening while his face scrunches up from the pleasure. You whine out and let out a loud and heavy gasp as your body trembles against his. “I-I’m c-cumming! I’m cumming again! L-Luffy!~” Your walls begin to pulsate around his digits, and you let out a loud moan before squirting out onto the sheets again.

Luffy slams his hips against your ass one last time and keeps them in place, groaning and hissing out as he cums deep in your ass. Your body shudders from the feeling but you felt yourself falling weak from your orgasm. Luffy removes his fingers from your pussy and relaxes his body beside you, his cock still buried deep inside your ass.

You trembled and whined out while Luffy tries to soothe you, shushing you and rocking you back and forth softly. You mewl out softly as his light touch, his four arms hugging you while he peppers smooches against the skin of your neck. “Cmonnnn~ Go ta sleeeeep~” Luffy whispers, yearning for you to go to sleep so he could finally get a taste at your dreams again.

You sigh out shakily before yawning, curling up a bit while Luffy played with your hair. “See ya again tomorrow night…Dream a good dream f’me baby gal~” He whispers one last thing to you before you finally close your eyes, falling asleep so quickly while Luffy lied there waiting for you to begin dreaming.

“G-Goodnight…Lu…Luffy.”

[inoreuct]

zoro really does remind me so much of a tiger.

i can see him sprawled out on the deck with his tail swishing back and forth lazily, napping in the best sunbeams without giving a shit that he’s blocking the whole walkway, you know. cat stuff.

he would probably get disgruntled when the crew comes and lies down on/over/beside him but he’d just yawn and shake out his ruff and tolerate it because. they’re his crew. they’re nakama. anyone else would get their hands bitten off as soon as they got within biting distance, but he’ll tolerate these few.

(he wouldn’t admit that he enjoys them pressing into his sides and pushing their fingers into his thick fur when their hands get cold because he puts out heat like a bloody furnace.)

and sanji would be the ONLY one he lets near his underbelly; everybody else only gets to touch the top of his coat but sanji comes along and he bares his fangs in a baseless threat because the cook has already formed a habit of falling asleep with his face shoved into zoro’s soft white fur, or half-squashed beneath him, and zoro acts all indifferent but hey. there’s a reason only sanji gets to get that close to him.

AND PLEASE the way zoro naps with his hands behind his head?? if someone called for him he would crack an eye open just barely before ignoring them and/or turning away and going back to sleep. THAT IS PEAK FELINE BEHAVIOUR. THE WHOLE BITCHY PETTY LAZILY POSSESSIVE TRIES-TO-ACT-COOL-BUT-IS-ACTUALLY-VERY-MUCH-A-LAME-DORK-WHO-CARES-A-LOT IS SO ZORO (especially opla zoro)

and he gets so worked up so quickly over specific things, both in good and bad ways. sanji picks a fight and he is down to kick butt and on his feet in 2.5 seconds flat. luffy tells him about a new idea/plan/shenanigan that will most certainly get them into trouble (that nami will have to haul their asses out of) and he’s there swords out bandana on like “yeah i’m ready where we going” LIKE A CAT WITH A LASER POINTER. HE SNAPS TO ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY AND FOLLOWS IT WITH SINGLE-MINDED INTENSITY.

not to mention yes he’s soft for his nakama but he’s also still so dangerous. just because he tucks his swords and claws and fangs away for them does not mean that he does not have them. if anybody even thought of being as familiar with him as the strawhats they’d lose a few vital organs; he loves his crew, so he keeps them close. simple as that. it’s a privilege that he doesn’t afford anyone else.

mm and now this is stirring up ideas of a shifter au. big green tiger zoro yes but what would the rest of them be?? luffy’d be a monkey, probably… i feel like usopp gives off goose energy for some reason 😭 but sanji?? nami?? I DON’T KNOW YALL TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

Roronoa Zoro X CisFem Reader

38

Spring had quickly turned to summer and before you knew it the heat and humidity you didn't miss while being abroad had crept in.

"Tiiiigerrrrr," you groaned, kicking the sheets off and tugging at your sweat drenched tank top, "when are they going to fix your air-conditioning?"

He turned to watch you, "It's an old building. They said they have to replace the entire thing. It could take another week or so."

Wiping your forehead, you groaned again,"I can't sleep like this."

"Would a shower make you feel better?" he fanned your face with his hand.

"It's 2AM."

"You aren't sleeping anyway." he chuckled sitting up.

"Fine." you sighed looking over at him,"Where are you going?"

He pulled a shirt over his head, "While you're cooling off I'm going to run to Walmart and get a fan. It'll help a little."

You didn't protest, a fan sounded like an amazing idea. After slipping into some shorts and shoes Zoro kissed your nose and left. You shuffled into the bathroom peeling away your damp clothing. He was right, a luke-warm shower was very soothing. When you finished you braided your wet hair and grabbed fresh light clothes from the stash you kept in the top drawer of his dresser. Not long after you'd sprawled back out in the bed, your greenette returned with a box. By almost 4AM the two of you had the fan put together and oscillating between you.

"So much better." you hummed flopping back into his mattress, "Tomorrow we're staying at my place. You can't live like this."

"It doesn't bother me that much." he rested his head on your chest, "Besides, there's too many people at your house."

Your fingers absentmindedly made their way through his hair, "While sweaty Tiger is very attractive, I'd rather not lose my boyfriend to a heatstroke. But that is true."

He chuckled and closed his eyes enjoying your affection.

"When is your lease up?" your question forced him to glance up at you.

"Two months, why?"

You shrugged nonchalantly,"Just thinking we should find a better place than this. Stuff is always breaking and they take forever to fix it."

"We?" he repeated feeling his pulse speed up a bit.

You hummed distracted by the thought of a newer apartment with working heat/air and updated appliances.

"Are…" he shifted to get a better look at you in the moonlight,"Is this some weird way of suggesting we move in together?"

"Well," your stomach plunged to your feet,"I mean… my house is always loud and you deserve a better apartment. Split rent would make it easier to save, right?"

He deadpanned before smirking, "Of course, not because you love me or anything."

"Shut up," you blithely nudged him, "that's a given."

For a moment you thought you'd made a terrible mistake. It had just come out so naturally that you didn't have a chance to run it through the proper filters.

What if he wasn't ready?

Were you ready?

Yes.

The fact that big scary relationship steps felt so easy when it came to Zoro was your glowing neon universal sign.

A soft laugh rumbled through his chest, "This wasn't how I expected we'd tackle this conversation."

You rolled onto your side to face him in the dim moonlit room, "Would you rather I propose?"

He paused stunned for a moment before tossing you an accusatory glance, "You're joking."

"This time, Tiger." you chuckled pulling him in for a sweet kiss, "I'll get you eventually though."

He dropped his head bashfully into your chest, "We'll see about that."

In the coming weeks you began searching for an apartment together. The two of you settled on a one bedroom in a newer complex on the outskirts of the city almost halfway between home and Newgate Industries. You'd be out of the house but still close enough to your boys, and Luffy would probably be over all the time anyway.

You leaned against Zoro on the sofa in the family room scrolling through a furniture website on your phone.

"Should we keep your couch or get something new?"

Your boyfriend hummed in thought, "It was a hand-me-down, but I don't want to spend too much. We already have the deposit and first month's rent."

"A house warming gift then-yoi." Marco joined the conversation taking a seat in the old recliner next to you.

"That's too much." Zoro commented.

"I'll be sure to order a cheap one then." your older brother replied changing the channel on the TV.

"You won't win." you chuckled, not bothering to look up from your scrolling, "I'll send you the link Pineapple."

Zoro glanced between the two of you and shook his head, "Sometimes it's hard to believe you aren't blood related."

"Thank you." You and Marco replied in unison making him chuckle again.

"When's the move in date-yoi?"

"In a couple of weeks." Zoro answered swiping up past a sofa he didn't like on your phone.

"Hey!" you protested.

"Too fancy." he muttered over your shoulder.

"Have you gone over the material for the deposition?"

You glanced over at your brother, "I've looked at it a few times. I'm not sure what else I should be doing."

Over the course of the last month the family was preparing to go in for a deposition, at which point Sabo suspected to be offered a deal to settle outside of court. If a settlement couldn't be reached then the statements would be used in court.

"We'll just answer whatever stupid questions they have-yoi."

Two days before you were to move out of your childhood home you met your brothers downtown outside of the city courthouse. Zoro joined as moral support but stayed out in the lobby. You and your siblings were sent up to the third floor to wait as you were called back individually to answer questions. Sabo was not able to legally represent the family because he was part of the actual case, so when you went in you were met with part of the legal team from your corporate office and Weevil's lawyers.

It was nerve wracking but not incredibly difficult. They asked you questions about your father's relationship to Weevil's mother. About your adoption. How present Pops was in your daily and school life because of his busy job. They asked about The Babies' adoptions and how they were raised. Most were yes or no questions. Occasionally your eyes dropped to the stenographer's quick fingers while you formulated what you thought to be the best response. When you were finished they sent you back out to wait for each of your brother's turns. After a few more hours the six of you were sent home completely mentally exhausted.

Moving day finally arrived. Fortunately, you had plenty of muscle to help that only required payment in the form of food and beer. You were a little nervous to move in with Zoro knowing your dynamic might change a bit - at the same time you were relieved to have more uninterrupted time with him.

Your two blonde brothers arrived to help later than planned, having spent most of the afternoon tied up in meetings. Both of them looked worn out and defeated.

Marco leaned against the bar that separated the living room and kitchen fiddling with tape on a box of glassware.

"What's the deal? Why are you two moping?"  you poked him.

"We got the offer for the settlement today-yoi"

"Not good I'm guessing?" you asked leaning next to him with a beer.

"Nope." he sighed,"He'll only settle for half of everything."

"Looks like we're going into battle then, huh?" you scoffed,"At least we can still fight."

One Piece: Ep.2 - spoilers

so I'm not going to play by play this, just gonna summarize each episode as I go. Under a cut of course because its going to naturally have spoilers

Second episode wasn't as much fun as the first but it was still a really great story with good set up and building. The world fleshed out a bit as well in a 'well, THAT;S very Mad Max kind of way which honestly? I appreciate. Pirates are so popular in media right now that its nice to see the 'no, no - they're horrible' and this episode managed to do that in a way that was creepy, brutal, desperate and yet totally manga so not as bad as you know it would have been in a different type of media. All the elements were there, enough to give you plenty to think about if you wanted to look at what was circling under the water but the story only needed to hint to get to its point so it didn't deep dive and I can respect that. That's what fanfiction would be for.

Anyway, pirate clown showed up earlier in the show than I expected him to given the bump in the end of the first episode and the fact Netflix was making him a selling point. I'm going to assume he shows up later? or they just didn't want to spoil and so chose an early minor boss for their spread. I'm going to vote for a later revival and showing but we'll see.

As far as the pirate clown went he was a lot scarier than I expected him to be but that was all on the actor and the delivery. Scary pirate clown is pretty one note and flat but the actor made his facial expressions and body language much more threatening than it should have been and I appreciate that. Plus he tries to play psychological games and that was a nice touch. He really did feel like a Bad Guy, especially the way he used the villagers and the way those actors responded to him. Really all the acting on here so far is pretty top notch even from extras and its making this show.

I'd be more concerned about Luffy's connection to his hat but I seem to remember seeing manga covers for years where he still had it so unless he loses it in the final episode of this first season I think we're pretty safe. It's like a comfort stuffed animal and a promise ring all rolled into one for him and I also worry about people that let a vulnerable part of their heart be something so easy to have taken away. It's hard enough to invest that into a pet, much less an inanimate object no one else is going to value enough.

Nami is being set up for double trouble but that was pretty clear from the start and I'm looking forward to how it plays out. She's very sneaky and self-saving but not enough to make her stupid or making her give away what's working for her just to have the story make a point or be dramatic. Which also brings up how utterly bizarre some of the 'tech' elements of the show are to me. I'm totally digging it! It just adds another layer to the 'not the world you know' world building but so much of it seems sensible and then they whip out the snail phone and it throws me back to the 'ooooooh, riiiiight. NOT fantasy Earth'.

The cravat to the 'superpower' from the devil fruit is interesting. I like how its called the 'devil' because it takes away the sea's blessing, which is enough to make everyone consider it evil. As they should.

The flashbacks were well done and I really enjoyed Shanks crew. I think we can all see the 'ultimate end boss' he's going to be coming from nautical miles away but that's not a bad thing. There's enough emotional investment going on that its going to be deliciously terrible when it comes.

Also I'm enjoying the High muckety muck Marine. The pirate at the beginning 'cursing' the world with pirates looking for his treasure was genius and I love that this guy was there to see it/have it happen on his watch and is now in charge of the entire kit. He makes a much more threatening villain than Tiger-pants because he's so obviously clever. He's also got a great voice to listen to.

Zoro's quote about Luffy believing in himself was a very cool line. I'm really enjoying the dialogue. It's a little lyrical and it doesn't rely on trite banter. The banter that does show up doesn't feel forced.

All in all, the second episode gets a thumbs up from me. Well told contained story that also advanced the overall plot and showed up more of the world as well as set up plenty for later story.

💚ZORO x ROBIN💜

This is for my spontaneous event, which you can find here!  Always happy to write ZoRobin for my darling @hiraethwrites​ 💕

“Hey love, look!”

Zoro’s hand tightened around hers, his thick palms squeezing her fingers and prompting a giggle to fall from her lips.  He tugged her to the next stall, ignoring her place in the queue of their current stop, eyes dead set on something up ahead.  

Robin’s anticipation grew.  It had to be something good for Zoro to drop everything and fixate.  

It had been Zoro’s choice to go to the mall to purchase a new pair of boots for the oncoming rainy season – something he had been avoiding due to his general distaste for crowded spaces and the majority of the population – though, it had been Robin’s choice to visit the department store that specialized in antiques.  

After an hour of milling about the various stalls, laughing at disturbing dolls attempting to portray children (though the result screamed don’t get it wet, don’t feed it past midnight), and marveling at the durability of ancient salt and pepper shakers, Zoro was getting antsy.  Robin couldn’t blame him.  Though she found endless entertainment in retro TV stands and loose Coca-Cola signs, Zoro could only look at so many blown glass vases before he considered himself officially bored.  

The plastic bag containing his new boots swung perilously close to a china tea set as he plowed on ahead, Robin swatting the bag away before it could get them banned.  She scurried after him, curiosity prickling the edges of her brain, her eyes searching their path ahead for what could have interested her boyfriend.  

Entering an area of the store dedicated more so to things considered retro, and not antique, Zoro beelined towards a boxy rectangle hoisted up on four rickety legs.  It flashed invitingly against one of the flimsy dividers that separated the vendors, prompting Zoro’s jaw to hit the ground.

Robin’s jaw hit the ground when she saw the absurd priced fixed to its side.  Her disappointment subsided, though, when she saw the enthusiasm in Zoro’s wild beam, the way his steely eyes light up, reflecting the flashing yellow lights that beckoned him to play.

“YO!” His large hands shook the pinball machine as he rested his palms on either side of the glass, the window that revealed the intricate maze of walls and lights and holes within shuddering under his strength.  “I haven’t seen one of these in ages!”

Robin hummed in amusement, watching in interest as Zoro pulled back a lever, releasing a small metal ball into the... court?  Playing field?  Was there even a sports term to associate with pinball?

“How about a little competition?” She tapped at the glass as the ball fell through the flippers closest to Zoro, signaling the end of the round.  

“What stakes we talkin’, here?” Zoro grinned, his fingers toggling buttons lining the side of the game, as if in practice.  

It was Robin’s turn to grin, leaning over the glass to examine the maze carefully.  She was taking it all in – which bumpers would send her further into the course, which combos would give her the greatest number of points.  Once satisfied, she rocked back on her heels and mused, “Loser buys milkshakes.”

“I don’t even like milkshakes.”

“Then, I suppose you better win,” Robin giggled, her laugh prompting Zoro’s eyes to temporarily lose their competitive edge, for soft affection to touch his features as he reveled in the sound of her happiness.  

Robin was so in love with this brilliant man.  This brilliant man who made her laugh, who challenged her, who kept her mind sharp and busy.  This brilliant man with the strength of an ox, the ferocity of a tiger, the playfulness of a puppy, and the devotion of a lovebird. This brilliant man who had stood by her side through thick and thin, who basked and preened in the light of her smile, as if her joy was the one thing that mattered most to him.  

This brilliant man, who managed to bounce the metal ball back and forth between approximately 6 bumpers before losing the ball to the trough.  

“Ah, shit,” He grumbled, stepping aside to give Robin her turn.  

She pulled the lever and started her match, her fingers flying over buttons as she impressed even herself with her ability to keep up with the ball as it flew across the course.  She paid no mind to the jarring squawks of horns or the obnoxious ringing of bells, refused to be distracted by the flashing bulbs lining the box.  

She beat his score in 15 seconds.  

She beat the top score in 5 minutes.  

“I love you,” Zoro whispered in her ear as he held her close.

“I can feel you trying to play pinball behind my back,” Robin replied.  

They compromised on bubbletea, wandering hand in hand throughout the mall, Robin happily slurping her espresso-based milkshake with tapioca balls.  Zoro had chosen a basic taro milk tea.

He forewent the tapioca, muttering something about them resembling pinballs.

Sanji vs Zoro Or: Why do you have to do this, Sanjitards, Zorotards?

I don’t even understand this competiton’s why first place. What changes who is stronger? Will you love him better, if it turns out, he is the stronger one? Or if not, he is not so cool anymore? Or do you think, just because someone is stronger, he can’t beat the other one? Did you really watch shounen animes?

First, clarify their roles. Zoro is a swordsman, Sanji is a cook (chef). Yes, Sanji is also can fight and he is strong as well, we all know it. But it’s not his main task, it’s cooking, and his goal is not to be stronger and stronger and stronger, it’s Zoro’s, always been, that’s why we could see him training all the time. (Actually, it would be weird, if Sanji were stronger in my opinion). In fact, when the difference between their power was somewhat show us, it was „tiny”.

Second, for me, Sanji’s backstory at WCI (from this perspective) was about:  even if they are weak, you still can (and you should) love characters/someone. And then I ask, why do people go crazy when it comes to „Sanji is weaker than Zoro”? Actually, we are beyond that. (earlier paragraph)

For 2 years, Zoro trained with Mihawk, to become stronger, while Sanji ofc wanted to be stronger too, but he fought for recipes, ‘cause he is the strawhats’ cook (chef). In Wano, we don’t know right now, what’s up with their strength. But, when they started to prepare for the fight with Kaido and his „army”, Zoro trained as a warrior, while Sanji trained as a cook. And that’s fine.

Third, if Zoro and Sanji were seriously fight each other, the end result wouldn’t be clear at all. Rather, it would tipically be that kind of fight, where one mistake and you are dead/you lose. Their fighting style are completely different, Oda also confirmed that Zoro is mainly developing armanent haki, while Sanji is mainly developing observation haki. Sanji is faster (while we know that Zoro is not a snail either, but Sanji has raid suit etc., maybe I should highlight his movements’ are more graceful and more „sophisticated”, like a dancer’s, like Bon Clay’s, haha), and he is smarter (well, before the timeskip he definitely was, right now, I’m not sure, but stick to this, I want to believe that pre-timeskip Sanji is still there, deep inside), while Zoro is a silly (but crazy strong) moss (maybe not so silly when it comes to fight :v), but he is the embodiment of brute force.

Their spirit animals are confirm this difference too (from this perspective). Sanji got Duck (lol) Bighorn sheep, what is strong and well, agily, while Zoro got Tiger (king of the jungle, we know why)/ Shark (one of the top predator of the ocean, I hope i don’t have to explain it).

Well, anyway, this post was born because week after week tards just argue about this, even if none of them are in the actual chapter. I’ve loved the rivalry, equality and friendship-broship between these two character since the beginning, and while these tard-idiots kill each other, I just simply - with their negative and positive attributes - love both...

On top of each other. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thanks for reading. (And sorry for bad english, I’m tryin’.)

Amiral Issho Fujitora

Also known as Fujitora, Issho is a blind Marine 👨🏼‍🦯 who owns the post of Admiral. The first mention of him was made by Admiral Commander-in-Chief Sakazuki when he announced his plan for the alliance formed between the Straw Hat Pirate and Trafalgar D. Law. This plan includes sending Admiral Fujitora to Dressrosa to destroy this alliance and capture the two pirates. Issho is thus the second antagonist of the Dressrosa Arc after Doflamingo. Even with his blindness, this Admiral possesses incredible power linked to his Devil Fruit. He is able to summon meteorites, to make hover objects or people and also to create black holes. 🕳️ He is one of the quintessential opponents of Roronoa Zoro . We invite you to discover all the details about this character in the rest of this article.

Issho appearance

The face of Admiral Fujitorahas an X-shaped scar on his forehead that crosses each of his two eyes. 👀 This man is also suffering from blindness and when he opens his eyes, we only see the white. Her hair is black in color and is cut short. He also wears a beard and mustache of the same color as his hair. Like the other Admirals, he is very tall. As for the outfit, he is dressed in a purple 👘 kimono and cinched at the waist with a black belt. Fujitora covers it all with a white coat decked out with the Navy logo on the back and gold epaulettes. He wears geta, the traditional Japanese sandals with wooden soles, on his feet, and he moves with a cane made of wood as well.  

Fujitora Personality

A fairly reasonable person, Admiral Issho has a tendency to trust others to the point of being taken advantage of. Indeed, it happens to him to show a certain naivety as when the underlings of Captain Corsaire Don Quixote Doflamingo deceived him by making him believe that he was a loser in the game of roulette. His weakness could certainly be explained by the fact that he is blind. However, you should know that Fujitora himself made the choice to lose his sight because, for him, this infirmity is a blessing allowing him not to witness the corruption that reigns in the world. On the other hand, when Monkey D. Luffyhad told him of the deception of which he was the victim, he had no hesitation in taking revenge on the crooks in a ruthless manner. He formed a gigantic black hole into which were swallowed those who had slyly deceived him. Another point of his personality is that he does not shy away from his responsibilities. This was notably seen when he did not hesitate to reimburse the damage he caused in the restaurant because of his black hole. It should be noted that this Navy officer prefers to stick to his own values ​​rather than necessarily complying with what Admiral Commander-in-Chief Sakazuki alias Akainu recommends , namely ⚖️ Absolute Justice. It also appears that he tends to worry more about people's safety than to reprimand criminals. He does not endorse the actions of the World Government, which always seeks to conceal the truth from citizens. This attitude shows a certain integrity in Admiral Issho. As a result, he has no hesitation in asserting his opinions and opposing his hierarchy as during his muscular exchange with his superior Akainu. In addition, he absolutely refused thereafter to apologize to the latter when Sengoku the Buddha, the former Admiral Commander-in-Chief of the Navy advised him to do so. On the other hand, Issho is not a maverick, he has in particular respect for the law as when he saved the life of the scientist 👨🏼‍🔬 psychopath César Clown for his alliance with Don Quixote Doflamingo. Admiral Issho is also distinguished by his modesty which he demonstrated by having little reaction after Trafalgar D. Law and Don Quixote Doflamingo had praised his great strength as well as his undeniable reputation. In addition to modesty, he is also a humble person as when he knelt before Riku Doldo III aka Ricky, the king of Dressrosa , and his subjects. He had done it to apologize on behalf of the Navy for the fact that the latter allowed Doflamingo to harm them for 10 long years without having intervened. Issho also has a calm and unruffled temperament. Even when a meteorite launched on the Thousand Sunnywas diverted to his ship, he didn't worry any more and continued to enjoy his noodles quietly while all his soldiers were in total panic. However, despite his calm and seriousness, the Tiger 🐅 Violet certainly does not lack humor. He likes to use funny expressions, and even exaggerate them. As an example of his sense of humor, the fact that Luffy announces his attacks ahead of time amused him a lot and he even laughed at a pushy and outspoken Luffy about his infirmity. In addition, he prefers to have fun playing roulette rather than chasing Luffy and Law as his job requires.

Issho's allies

The World Government

As an officer of the Navy, Admiral Issho must obey the orders of the World Government. However, he does not really carry this entity in his heart for the reason that the World Government often lies to the people, only tells them what they want and acts only in its own interest. This is the reason why he apologized on behalf of the World Government for not intervening in Dressrosa when the country had been martyred by Doflamingo for 10 years. For this, he even knelt at the feet of King 👑 Riku and hundreds of citizens. Having been filmed by the escarphones, called Den Den Mushi, and disseminated in several regions, this approach aroused the anger of his superior, Admiral Commander-in-Chief Sakazuki and that of the Council of Five Deans, otherwise known as The Five Elders or Gorosei, which is the Highest Authority of the World Government. Marine

Since Issho is an Admiral of the Navy, he is entitled to the respect of all this military organization. Each member of the Navy with a rank lower than his owes him full obedience without asking or asking the slightest question. As for his relations with the Admiral Commander-in-Chief, they are complex. First of all, Admiral Issho has Akainu's confidence since it is he whom the latter has chosen to send to the 🏝️ island of Dressrosa to put an end to the alliance concluded between Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar D. Law.However, the fact that Fujitora apologized on behalf of the World Government for what happened in Dressrosa, without notifying anyone of his act, greatly pissed him off. Because of this, the latter imposed an ultimatum on Issho that he had to bring back the heads of Luffy in the Straw Hat 👒 and Law at World Government Headquarters to Mary Geoise or he would be fired. This threat did not impress the new Admiral much, but rather caused him irritation. Besides, he hardly seemed to intend to obey his superior. On the side of the other senior officers of the Navy, he seems to have a good relationship with  Vice Admiral Smoker, the White Hunter . It turns out that these two officers have the same vision about Justice, but also about the 7 Captain Corsairs: They hate them. For both, the agreement of the World Government with these pirates 🏴‍☠️ should be abrogated, especially in view of the infamous acts of Sir Crocodile alias Mr. 0in Alabasta and those of Don Quixote Doflamingo in Dressrosa. Indeed, these two characters deceived the respective inhabitants of these kingdoms by pretending to act like heroes in order to gain their trust while in parallel, they carried out their Machiavellian plan in the shadows. Note that Smoker had related to Issho during an exchange between the two characters the events that took place in Alabasta and had declared that he too wanted to destroy the order of the 7 Captain Corsairs.   The Grand Corsairs

Although he is allied with the 7 Captain Corsairs as a Navy officer, Admiral Fujitora does not trust them in any way. For him, they are simply pirates ☠️ who benefit greatly from their alliance with the World Government and the privileges that flow from it, as was the case with the abuses of Doflamingo during his reign in Dressrosa. In truth, he feels a great contempt for the 7 Grand Corsairs and he joined the Navy during the ellipse which lasted two years with the aim of putting an end to this alliance and to dismantle, even eradicate, this organization.

Aptitudes de Fujitora

First of all, the fact that Fujitora is an Admiral is proof of his undeniable power given that Admiral 🎖️ is the highest rank in the Navy and just preceded by the Admiral Commander-in-Chief. Thus, this rank is not given to just anyone, especially not to a person whose potency is less or has not been proven. And, by virtue of his position as Admiral, the thousands of soldiers who make up the Navy are under his authority. Another privilege due to his high rank is that he can command a Buster Call, the Navy's ultimate military attack force in an operation of mass destruction., on any island he thought was a threat. He also has the authority to revoke the title of one of the 7 Grand Corsairs as he did for Trafalgar D. Law. And, in terms of fighting strength, Fujitora is seen as one of the most powerful members of the Navy. In addition to this, it turns out that Admiral Fujitora possesses mastery over two types of Haki, namely the Armament Haki and the Observation Haki . He notably used the Busoshoku no Haki to impregnate his sword ⚔️ in order to stop the Birdcage of Doflamingo with the help of Roronoa Zoro, Kurozumi Kanjuro and Kinemon alias The Fire Fox. As for his mastery of Kenbunshoku no Haki, it is at a high stage and manifests in the form of an aura, which allows him to visualize what is in the surroundings even though he is blind. Moreover, his mastery of Sensitive Fluid is such that even when he uses it, he is still able to fulfill his duties as an Admiral. Another proof of Fujitora's strength and power is that during the events of Dressrosa and his many clashes, he came through without any injuries 🤕 or even visible scratches. Let's not forget that Issho still fought Law and Doflamingo who are Captain Corsairs, Luffy and Zoro who are part of those we nickname the Supernovae (just like Law by the way) as well as Sabo who is the second most important member of the military organization of the Revolutionary Army.

Devil Fruit: Zushi Zushi no Mi

Admiral Issho first unveiled the mighty power of his Devil Fruit 🍇 at the restaurant in Acacia, the port city of the Kingdom of Dressrosa. It was in this place that he showed his ability to master gravity by creating a huge black hole there, into which he knocked all those who conned him into gambling because of his blindness. During this event, the scammers were first seen pulled violently towards the ground, which demonstrates the impressive force of gravity aroused by this Devil Fruit. Paramecia type, this Devil Fruit is known as Zushi Zushi no Mi. The latter offers Issho the possibility of achieving several feats through the mastery of gravity. In particular, it can affect objects, make meteorites fall from the sky and form gravitational barriers of circular shape which are used to protect itself from the attacks of its adversaries. Admiral Fujitora notably uses his cane 🦯 to channel his various skills. Thus, Fujitora has been seen summoning meteorites from the sky to drop them on Trafalgar D. Law as well as Don Quixote Doflamingo. He also has the ability to immobilize his opponents on the ground thanks to the gravity he manipulates through his saber. And, as for Shiki the Golden Lion with the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi de or Trafalgar D. Law with the Ope Ope no Mi, Issho is able to levitate objects of any size with his Devil Fruit. He has notably been seen to hover a warship in the air as well as the debris of an island, demonstrating the enormous potential of the powers of Zushi Zushi no Mi. Even Doflamingo admits that his power is out of proportion. In addition, Issho does not need to touch the objects he wants to levitate at all, unlike Shiki's Fuwa Fuwa no Mi. However, Zushi Zushi no Mi has weaknesses other than those common to Devil Fruits. For one thing, it turns out that its user's gravity-related powers can be disrupted if the opponent directly attacks Fujitori. This is precisely what Roronoa Zoro had using a remote notch to escape the gravitational pin in which Fujitora had trapped him. On the other hand, both people and objects that are strong enough to hold their position are able to withstand the gravity exerted by this Devil Fruit. 👿  

Arme: Shikomizue

The wooden cane Admiral Fujitori moves with is not a simple cane, it actually conceals a sword. This kind of weapon is what is called in the Land of the Rising Sun a Shikomizue, which literally means a sword cane.. Issho uses this weapon in connection with his mysterious abilities related to his Devil Fruit. Even if this link between his Shikomizue and his powers has not yet been clarified to this day, we know that the weapon allows Issho to manifest a strange force. In addition, Fujitori's level as a fencer 🤺 has not yet been revealed but it can be argued that he must be an expert, despite being blind. Indeed, even if his blindness forces him to use this cane to move when he is not fighting, this infirmity does not handicap him in any way when he faces opponents.

Issho history

Admiral Fujitora's past has yet to be revealed other than the fact that at some point in his life he made the decision to deprive himself of his sight. 👁️ According to his own words, this choice was motivated by his disappointment and disgust with evil as well as the corruption that reigns in this world. During the implementation of the World Military Project during the ellipse, Fujitora as well as his colleague Ryokugyû were both elevated to the rank of Admiral. It is also during this period that we discover that Issho's ultimate goal to enter the Navy is to put an end to the system of the 7 Captain Corsairs because he does not believe in it. It also seems that it was during this period that Admiral Issho first met Smoker, the White Hunter. We then find Fujitora in Dressrosa when he was sent there by his superior Akainu who tasked him with dealing with the problem Luffy and Law who made an alliance. Instead of settling the matter as quickly as he should in obedience to his Commander-in-Chief, Fujitora instead starts looking for a casino �� then playing roulette in a restaurant in Acacia town. This is where he meets Monkey D. Luffywhile he defends him against subordinates of Doflamingo who scam him by taking advantage of his blindness. This is also when the Admiral demonstrates the power of his Devil Fruit when he takes revenge on the crooks who abused him after thanking Luffy for his frankness. After unsheathing a sword from his cane, he creates a large black hole in the restaurant's floor and lures his con artists into it to knock them all down. Everyone who witnessed the scene was in awe of its power and might. Luffy even asks him his identity, which he refuses to reveal to her while laughing and leaving the restaurant.

After that, Issho heads with his whole fleet to the uninhabited island 🏝️ of Green Bit north of Dressrosa where Trafalgar D. Law and Doflamingo have set up a meeting for the exchange of scientist Caesar Clown. After Law admitted that he had entered into an alliance with the Straw Hat Pirates, Admiral Fujitora loudly declared that his status as Grand Corsair had now been revoked. He then began to attack it by summoning gigantic meteorites which crashed to the ground creating a huge crater. Fortunately, Law was able to survive unscathed, as were everyone present. Subsequently, Issho succeeded in immobilizing Law thanks to his mastery of gravity, but the latter managed to escape by taking advantage of which was in the area. The Admiral and Doflamingo then started chasing the Mugiwara who were on board their ship. 🚢 It was there that he showed another of his Devil Fruit's powers by flying his warships in pursuit of the Thousand Sunny. Arriving on the Dressrosa riverside, Issho witnesses Law's "death" after Doflamingo shot him three times in the chest. Subsequently, he will help pirates and gladiators protect the population of Dressrosa against Doflamingo's plan and his Operation Birdcage.. He will even call in the Armament Haki to attempt to stop the Birdcage and give Luffy time to defeat the Celestial Demon. After the Straw Hat Pirate defeated Doflamingo, Issho knelt before King Riku and his citizens to publicly ask their forgiveness for Doflamingo's hideous deeds and the non-intervention of the World Government. His act earned him the wrath ⚡ of his superior who forced him to bring back the heads of Luffy and Law. It was after this that Luffy and Issho clashed until the latter was stopped by the inhabitants of Dressrosa wanting to protect Luffy and his companions. He then understood that they had only good intentions and protected them against pirates in the ankle with Doflamingo.

551-552: "The Battle Is On! At Conchchorde Plaza!" and "A Surprising Confession! The Truth Behind the Assassination of Otohime!"

I KNEW IT!!

I knew that scumbag Hordy was behind Otohime’s assassination! Oh, I only wish I’d been a fan while these chapters were being released so I could have made a bet with someone. Then again... everyone reading at that time probably knew too. I mean the flags were vast and red.

As soon as I saw the title for 552 flash up, I thought, “Yes. This is it. Hordy is gonna confess.”

Was not disappointed.

And that wasn’t all. The reveals kept coming. The circumstances of the assassination? Check. Madame Sharley’s family? Check. 30,000 hidden human slaves? Double check. Plus, I finally know what Noah is (yes, it is a “what” and not a “who”). And it is currently being controlled by Decken who has finally gone off the deep end.

Why Does Hordy Look Like He’s About to Judge Someone on a Talent Show?

Have to say, I forgot to mention something in the last post. Neptune brought up an inconvenient truth about the Fish Roids. Those rad pills that grant you super strength? They come packed with horrendous side-effects. Namely: they take years off your life.

Maybe that’s why Hordy has snow white hair now as well as a water shoot attack that can fell buildings and destroy royal army squadrons.

Episode 551 served pretty much to build Hordy’s threat potential as a villain. And boy it was done in quick time. By the end of 551, he had strung up Neptune, decimated the royal army, the royal ministers and had defeated all three princes.

I kind of hate Hordy’s guts right now, so it was nice to see the islanders so concerned for their beloved king, shielding children’s eyes as the execution convoy flew past. Neptune’s guard tried to take a stand, but Neptune told them to run, not to die a meaningless death. See, that’s the difference between a good king and Hordy (I refuse to call him a king. He ain’t crowned yet). Neptune cares for his people and they respect and care from him in turn.

At the plaza, Hordy’s Head Goons assembled. Brave islanders climbed the walls because they wanted to rescue Neptune. They had prime seats for the upcoming show.

By the time they had scaled the fence, Hordy had cleared out the royal guard and installed himself on a giant pink beanbag throne. Neptune was trussed up to a St Andrew’s style cross. No idea if there’s any symbolism there, but Andrew was called a “fisher of men”. Maybe it’s just the whole martyrdom thing. Being willing to die for the peaceful ideals of Otohime. Or maybe Oda just thought, “Yeah.... saltire crosses. That’ll do.”

One poor soldier tried to pull off a suicide attack. If he could just take out one of the Head Goons before the princes arrived, it would aid the rescue effort. But the merciless hype machine ground its gears and the solider became fodder for Hordy’s power up. 

It was an impressive power up. Just the normal water shoot bullet but ramped up to eleven. BOOM! It blasted through walls, buildings, rock formations and only lost momentum miles away at Mermaid Cove. I thought, “This guy really is a scumbag. He’s just wreaking havoc and destroying things because, lel, this is fun and I have the power now.”

Then the princes arrived. I finally remember all of their names! Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Manboshi. Better late than never. The spectators on the wall cheered. The princes were here! King Neptune would be saved! Hurrah! The princes declared, “WE WILL SAVE YOU, FATHER!”

I felt like Madame Sharly. I could see what was coming a mile off.

Fukaboshi, because he’s going to become king someday and be fucking excellent, gave another good speech. “Why don’t you understand, Hordy Jones? You people are the weakest on this island [Hordy was triggered by this]. The other islanders were trying to ignore the history of discrimination by humans and to forgive the murder of their hero and their queen who died at the hands of a human [oh, Fukaboshi...]. They endured their pain to change their future and sign their names. Why can’t you appreciate the boldness and kindness of their decision?”

Because he’s Fishler, that’s why. You can’t reason with Fishler types. You could say, “Well, remember that chap Whitebeard? He was an alright human, wasn’t he?” and a Fishler would shriek, “NO, HE WAS JUST PRETENDING! WHITEBEARD WAS FAKE NEWS!” Or, “Have you ever been to the surface, Fishler?” and they would reply, “NO, BUT I DON’T NEED TO.” (I think Hordy has because he’s a pirate, but the attitude’s the same).

I don’t know why they talk in caps. But 

Now, the annoying thing about Hordy’s goons beating down the princes was that those boys are actually no slouches. Were it not for the Roids, they could easily have kicked ass.

But Hordy claimed they would never lose, as the had been, and I quote, “given great power from above.” From above? As in the surface? Now that’s suspicious. Who has been supplying these Fishmen with Roids? I half expect Vegapunk to be involved somehow.

At any rate, the Head Goons showed their stuff. Roided up, they were faster, stronger and crushed the princes. And they were strung up alongside their dad.

And It Gets Worse

No, not just because of the crowd of Hordy’s followers baying for blood.

Back at the Sea Forest... the fight between Jimbei and Luffy had been off-panelled.

This, I think, is weird. We did not get to see Luffy in a mangled, defeated state. We never got to see Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Robin or Franky. All we heard was Jimbei saying, “Phew, he gave me a hard time,” before he escorted Shirahoshi back towards the palace.

Except that didn’t work out because they thought a balloon version of Neptune was the real thing and were netted and dragged off to the plaza. (I am suspicious of the lack of Luffy, so I kind of hope this is a roundabout scheme from Jimbei. Schemes wouldn’t work with Luffy but maybe Jimbei’s clever enough to steer him in the right direction and count on Luffy being Luffy to sort things out in the end).

Hordy was pleased at the special delivery of Jimbei, Shirahoshi and Megalo. Before that, he didn’t want to kill his hostages until Shirahoshi was lured to the plaza. It’s her power to call Sea Kings that he feared most and other than Neptune, she is the one he wants dead most. It was also the only reason he teamed up with Decken. (Now it makes sense! I thought Hordy only wanted a way into the palace.)

The poor audience of islanders on the walls, though... they were distraught. It was like a quadruple whammy of gut punches. First Neptune, then the princes, and now Jimbei and their beloved princess Shirahoshi. I mean, I’d wager Jimbei is almost as much of a legendary figure as Fisher Tiger nowadays. To see him brought so low must be truly shocking (still hoping it’s a ploy).

Now Hordy’s only concern is what the Strawhats will do. He guessed they’d return to the palace, free Zoro, Usopp and Brook. But he had some surprise guests waiting for them...

Yes, that’s right! 30,000 human slaves Hordy caught! Plus another 70,000 armed thugs (fodder for Strawhats). “One hundred thousand outlaws together!” he crowed. I guess this proves Hordy can perform basic addition.

I mean, there were a few female and child slaves along with the male ones, but they would be taken care of later. And I don’t think he means given a hot meal and a roof over their heads. :|

Madame Sharly Steps Up

This is when the episode got Extra Juicy.

Madame Sharly stepped up, spoke up and got Hordy so wound up he snapped and went completely off the rails in public.

“You fools are a dishonour. Horsing around in public. You kids have no class at all. Don’t push your luck. I just wanted to say one thing to you since you’re at the height of your glory: a man will destroy Fishman Island.”

“Wasn’t it me you saw?” Hordy said, modestly.

Bad news, Hordy. “No. The man who will destroy it is Strawhat Luffy. I can’t tell what he’ll do specifically. But it is not you. The one who will determine the fate of Fishman Island is not you, Hordy Jones.”

Well...

Let’s just say this news was not received positively.

As Madame Sharly is another legendary figure in Fishman Island, her not backing Hordy’s rise to power was disastrous PR. Even the goons were freaking out. “Omg, that means Hordy will never gain control of Fishman Island. Her predictions are accurate!”

The Hordy stepped up and slapped the crap out of Madame Sharly.

Forget what I said last post about not wanting Luffy to come and sort shit out.

Get down here now because this guy needs taken down a peg.

I was so enraged by Hordy’s obvious threatened response to Madame Sharly that when he revealed she was ARLONG’S SISTER (WTF??) I barely heard it and had to rewind and watch it again. He also bare face admitted to her he was only using the Arlong Pirates name to unite people under his banner. 

Properly triggered by Sharly’s lack of support, he went on a mad, Roid-Rant, yelling that HE was the ONLY ONE who could take over Fishman Island. His scheme is ten years in the making! He had the power to do it. ONLY HIM. OH, AND BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW THAT QUEEN YOU ALL LOVED SO MUCH?

I think this is Hordy’s biggest mistake. Some of you guys in the comments for the last post talked about Luffy sorting out Fishman issues not being a problem because would Hordy really have many supporters to resent Luffy?

After this, I am convinced he won’t have any. Because those islanders on the wall? They were enraged.

While Hordy had his villainous, “YES, IT WAS ME!” moment, a flashback revealed he did pay a human to be involved in the assassination. At first, I thought Hordy just paid the human pirate to shoot her. Was shocked but no surprised to learn that he hated Otohime so much that he wanted to pull the trigger himself. The human accessory only set fire to the petitions.

Hordy has gone so far off the deep end with the lack of Sharly support that he forgot that triggering Shirahoshi has geological scale consequences.

“Don’t you think she was annoying?” he said straight to Shirahoshi’s face. “She begged everyone not to seek revenge against humans but to be friends with them instead. She was bugging me because she’d almost accomplished her goal. I wasn’t satisfied with just killing her. [No of course you weren’t...] To me, your mother was someone who deserved death. I came up with the idea to make the best of her death, that would allow me to stoke the fire of hatred towards humans, that Fishmen citizens once had, and destroy the islanders’ stupid dream once and for all! I’d frame a human for killing her. You were all fooled exactly as I hoped. She was worth killing, right, Shirahoshi? She wasn’t killed by a human. She was killed by me. I, a kinsman, did it.”

I thought the earthquakes would start and the Sea Kings would begin, slowly, to stretch it out over several episodes, to swim towards Fishman Island. 

But no.

The twist was even better!

Shirahoshi turned to Hordy and said, “I already knew.”

WHAT THE---?

Honestly, I was as shocked as Jimbei. Even Hordy was dumbfounded. 

I cannot wait to find out how Shirahoshi knew. I mean, if she knew and didn’t tell anyone, that’s a pretty big ball to drop, you know?

Oh, and I forgot to mention this guy...

Decken: King of the Incels

This is some next-level creepy madness, let me tell you. Especially when the news only a couple days ago reported that some incel just shot up a yoga studio because “women”.

I mean, Decken has a neckbeard and is even wearing a Fedora. It’s like Oda had a vision of the future and turned it into a pirate because the reality was just too weird.

Anyway, Decken has also gone off the deep end, and has adopted a: “If I Cannot Have Her, Everyone Will Die” mindset. To achieve this, he has brought to life an ship called Noah built by Fishmen “a while ago” (hmm.... seems older than that, but I’ll run with it.

I’m half thinking Noah could it be one of those Pluton-like weapons because the ship is half the size of Fishman Island, apparently. Great for ramming into a protective bubble and killing everyone in it, eh? Woo hoo! What a great guy!

*whistles innocently*

[fuckishimoto]

1. Oh, I wasn't talking about Gohan. I meant Gon from HxH. Goku is entertaining? Well, for comedy relief maybe. I always thought he fell really flat. Vegeta was way more entertaining. 2. Yes but my whole point was that I WANT characters who actually react appropriately to the situation and even get mental disorders depending on what is going on? I never said it was happening. Because it isn't. 3.Well, I'm sick of reading about one-dimensional characters. There's no reason why a character (1)

Goku is entertaining in the original dragon ball series not in DBZ, both Bulma and Krillin are better characters in the original series too. Vegeta is only entertaining during the Freiza saga, he’s kinda boring after that.

How is Gon flat? Normally he has a typical cheerful and goofy shonen protag demeanour, but he’s also selfish, and when he screwed up, he looked for someone to blame and acted like he’s the only victim. “It’s easy for you Killua, you don’t feel anything”. He’s basically a little bitch when real shits happened and he couldn’t handle it.

You know what, if you want 15 year old react realistically to situations, the protag would shit their pants and run away when they face a world ending threat. And if they do get PTSD, and if you want it to be handled realistically, they would be put on medication and they would not be allowed to go out there to fight again, and there it’s the end of their role in a battle manga.

can’t have mental issues and and participate in “action, adventure and heroism”, is there now? We have so many bland shounen main characters one would think people would have gotten sick of them now. Confidence? Show me confidence but also show me how it bites them in the ass. Show me how that character feels about his confidence being responsible for his best friends death. Use that shit to give me a story. Luffy regularly brings his friends into shitty situations and never even thinks (2)

We also have so many emotional and whiny shonen characters, one would think people would have gotten sick of them now. Isn’t the popularity of OPM evidence that people are tired of angst ridden characters and want the opposite of those type of characterization? Confidence isn’t a bad trait, why should they be punished for it? If you’re talking about overcondifence and underestimating the opponents, we have loads of characters like that, they’re just more often antagonists and deuteragonists. It’s literally vegeta’s character in every saga lol, being cocky, then having his ass handed to him. This stuff is also absurdly common in sport anime.

seriously about the fact that one of them might die even after Ace. Why can’t he still go into dangerous situations while thinking about it? Or at least after having seriously thought about it? Character flaws are not the problem. Light have dozens of those but he’s not annoying. The annoying part is the fact that they always feel the need to make the characters “relatable” but just end up making them whine about minor things. Even that I wouldn’t mind if other characters told them off. Sure (3)

Naruto always brabbles about himself because he’s a self-centered asshole but couldn’t other people just shut him up? If people had reacted appropriately to his whining, seeing him try again and again just to get shot down would have been hilarious instead of infuriating. I’m so sick of characters getting mary-sued… 4. Yeah, I think Naruto is hilarious to watch. He’s such a mess. He’s nowhere close to a “hero”. But his whining is hilarious. It’s like watching a comedy. Like I said: I just (4)

I don’t think Luffy can think seriously even if he tries, thinking is usopp and Law’s speciality, they can’t all be the same. Zoro and Law both told Luffy off at some point, Usopp got into fight with Luffy multiple times because they disagree.

To me, Naruto’s whining is like people whining on facebook and tumblr about their personal “issues”, it’s banal. He whines about the stuff that everyone whines about.

Luffy and so on. I want… different characters. I don’t even care if they start boring like every other Shounen Hero if they have enough character development. If they react appropriately to the situation. I’m sick of characters where everything just… washed off. Like they’re resistant against water or something. What’s wrong with PTSD? The amount of times I’ve seen even inklings of it (and never acknowledged in canon are ridiculously small, considering the shit shounen heroes go through (5) 

Like I said, realistic PTSD and depression mean the characters would be missing from action for an extended period of time, and that’s not an option for long running shonen series. Unless you want to see that character continue to take part in fights, ignore their condition and get killed as a result. This can only be done to expensable characters.  Maybe you should read seinen, and non battle manga if you want that kinda characterization. People do not read shonen battle manga to see a character spending a whole arc recovering from depression. There’re other genres better suited for that. Characters with mental illness can be one dimensional too, a mental illness doesn’t necessarily improve a character. 

When you said “washed off”, what do you exactly mean? Luffy did react to Ace’s death realistically, he grieved rather extravagantly tbh. But life goes on, it’s the same as in real life, effects of events do wash off and fade. There’re characters who quit after one particular bad game or an injury, characters who walk away from fights after losing a nakama, they’re just not main characters because main characters don’t quit. There’s limits to how much you let your main characters sulk. There’s a lot of bitching from the fans when the MC in yowapeda cannot perform after one of his senpai left, I thought it’s too much forced drama too, he just left the country, he didn’t die. This is not like Tiger Woods losing his father.

Please tell us about your punch out pokemon au!!

I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING… I wrote a post about it but I didn’t finish it so it’s just been in my drafts haha but I have a lot more stuff to say cause I’ve been thinking on it more

anyways this got long cause I have a lot to say so it’s under the cut!

now like the major question to be answered is how the whole thing works. like is this a Pokemon League?? is it still boxing?? is it a weird hybrid of both??

for sake of this I kinda think it’s like >pokemon battle >then a match

like idk I feel like they’d be into doing both. I’m not sure though, if there would have to be travelling involved, cause how would you obtain a team (aside from a starter which you’d get from Doc), unless maybe a challenge was you’d be given an option of like

anyhow I think Little Mac’s starter is a Mienfoo or a Tyrogue. tbh I just in general like Mienfoo more but Tyrogue makes sense cause it can evolve into Hitmonchan which has… you guessed it… fucking boxing gloves. he could have a Mienfoo later at some point.

OH YOU KNOW WHAT THEY COULD DO. if there wasn’t a travelling aspect (or even if there was), maybe after each fight you win, you can pick a (base) pokemon that your opponent had. not like, it’s not theirs, but the same species if you feel me. Little Mac is not kidnapping people’s pokemon. so like for example if you beat Piston Hondo and he had like, Mienshao, Samurott, and Dragonair, you could pick either a Mienfoo, Oshawott, or Dratini.

he wouldn’t have to use whatever he chose but yeah. he could probably still catch stuff but this is like… an incentive and maybe you only got the choice if you got a TKO or something. and these guys you know, sometimes they have some pretty rare or powerful pokes so it would be to his benefit. but you could choose.

and I think that the WVBA would be like a hybrid, sort of unofficial pokemon league. like if we were translating the universe to the Pokeverse, this would not be an official Pokemon League, like this would be an offshoot of the Unovan league. or. something. but like they still give out badges and shit (coincidentally there is the exact right amount of boxers to make a complete league) anf like if you became Champion it’d be a big deal but it wouldn’t be “official” as being a League Champ. I could imagine there being smaller offshoots of Leagues throughout the world, especially in a country as big as America/Unova, so it’d be still considering pretty important but also

Little Mac deserves to just be champ, but I think if the boxing element still exists then it’s like chill. imo the two (as a boxer/trainer) add up to make something really important, if that makes any sense.

oh, and evil teams.

the evil team is all the other Punch Out fighters who don’t appear and the boss is Gabby Jay (/s)

or you could just say that the bitterness of losing to Little Mac forced the boxers to come together and be dicks but idk. probably no villain if you ask me! or if there seriously is, Mr. Dream is the boss.

anyways enough about the baseline

probably something that’s just the Style™ of the WVBA is that everyone uses seals and each boxer has their own unique seal. Glass Joe probably just has like the letter A during his first fight cause it’s all he had, and Little Mac is like “what does the A stand for?” and Joe is like “…………it’s the only seal decoration I have”, but later has his actual name and then some sparkles to make up the French flag’s colors, Mr. Sandman has tan sparkles (like sand, obviously) and letters to spell out DREAMLAND, Disco Kid has a bunch of music notes, etc etc

And tbh in my opinion, no one specializes in one type which is what makes them distinct from a typical/”official” Pokemon League, though they can have multiple of the same type to the point of it dominating their team (Don Flamenco, for example, might have a lot of Fire types or Aran Ryan might have a lot of Dark types).

but IF THEY DID specialize in types, Joe wouldn’t specialize/Water, Von Kaiser is Normal, Disco Kid is uhh, King Hippo is UHHH Ground maybe, Hondo is maybe Dragon, Bear Hugger is Grass, Great Tiger is UHHHH Psychic, Don FLamenco is Fire, Aran Ryan is Dark, Soda Popinski is Ice, Bald Bull is…….. Rock maybe, Super Macho Man is Fighting, and Mr Sandman is anyn type he damn well pleases

I don’t know. I made some mock teams for everyone and tbh they all vary, it’s based on theme more than type. I couldn’t come up with full teams for everyone. it’s really hard and I can’t be assed to do it but generally, this. idk when these teams would be but like, this generally the pokemon they’d use, whether it’d be pre-evos or whatever depending on the time.

in Contender Joe has 5 Magikarp, one of which is shiny and his signature, and a Feebas, all level 15 during Contender. They all can’t do anything but Mac’s Pokemon is like level 5. so it takes a little to beat them and it’s like (7 hours later) AND THE WINNER IS LITTLE MAC. Boxing Glass Joe is considerably easier. Title Defense I think he has like, Magikarp (he likes Magikarp), Gyarados, Milotic, Furfrou, Blaziken. or if my shitposts are true at all it’s 6 level 100 Magikarp and he just stalls and all of them has Focus Sash. everyone hates him

Von Kaiser’s team (td, I guess, a lot of his pokes are just evos so it doesn’t need to be split into two) is like Staraptor, Octillery, Gogoat, Diggersby, and Stoutland as his signature. I always pictured Von Kaiser, like, during the contender he lets out his last Pokemon which is his sig Herdier, and the dog isn’t super well trained so it runs off and VK freaks out and Mac has to go catch the dog. He comes back like thirty minutes l8er exhausted with this pleased lookin pup. The dog just immediately goes to sleep and Mac wins but then like……. boy he’s lost a lot of physical energy for the fight. also Von Kaiser and the dog have the same exact mustache.

Disco Kid is a bit tough to pick out but he’s got like… Wigglytuff, Chatot, Bouffalant, Oricorio (Pom-Pom), Ludicolo, and maybe Primarina. Meloetta would be super fitting but it’s a fucking Legendary but let’s say he had it, it’d be his sig for sure. idk which of these would be his sig otherwise, maybe Oricorio since it was like the first one I thought of for him. Not terribly remarkable because I can’t think of SHIT I’m sorry I’ve failed you Disco Kid

King Hippo has Toucannon, Passimian, Alolan Exeggutor, Loudred, Snorlax, and his sig is Hippowdon. Hippowdon is fucking terrifying. It’s like clear King Hippo and the Pokemon are having a conversation and it is horrific and Little Mac is alarmed. Hippowdon creates a sand pit in the ring that makes it hard for Mac’s pokes to move, and it eventually takes uprooting the hippo from its sandpile to knock it out. King Hippo is fucking rough too, its pretty much like fighting an upright Hippowdon. Mac wins by the normal means but also by King Hippo slipping on the sand and fucking wiping.

then comes Piston Hondo. He takes his Pokemons very seriously, Leagues originated there after all. He probably was a brief champ of Kanto or some shit, and it kind of shows where shit starts getting real or w/e. He’s got Oricorio (Sensu), Mienshao, Gallade, Dragonair, Ninetales, and Samurott as his sig. He’s got a hard-hitting style, but he also strikes me as the type to be a staller just to fuck with people. I figure that KOing a whole team isn’t always reasonable, so sometimes the best option is to stall, and at the end of the Trainer match they figure out who wins based on the number of fainted Pokes (and how much helath the other pokes have) but idk. I’m not sure his Pokemon are terribly good for stalling but you kno what I mean.

Bear Hugger’s team is Swanna, Pachirisu, Bibarel, Stantler and Beartic as his sig. Little Mac watched him physically fight the Beartic once it was terrifying. The Pachirisu helps BH fight in td. I think his Pachirisu is reminiscent of that Pachirisu that was super badass in that pokemon tourney. Se Jun Park’s Pachirisu. yeah that one. so it’s like “oh ok– OH GOD NO” because it is Powerful™ so like overall I feel like Bear Hugger’s style is extremely unpredictable, he always goes against the grain and does stuff unexpected to catch you off guard.

Great Tiger specializes in…….. yes, you guessed it: cat Pokemon. He’s got Persian, Purugly, Liepard, Luxray, Incineroar as his sig, and… Medicham. because why not. idk how many of these fucks can learn Double Team but yep that’s like 90% of his strategy is just using Double Team 500 times and then fucking you up cause you can’t hit them. regardless you kno he’s cheatin so they ALL know it. his style is also, Double Team-ing Medicham and then spamming Focus Punch. Better stock up on tms for moves that always hit!

Don Flamenco was probably one of the easiest to make a team for. He’s def got Tauros, Oricorio (Baile), Pyroar, Talonflame, and Roserade as his sig. Not sure about the 6th slot. Oh maybe Luvdisc. It’s useless but maybe Carmen likes Luvdisc so he uses one in honor of her. That’s so adorable I feel good just thinking about it! dnsjfndjk what if his team got Super Edgy™ for TD. Gothitelle, Pangoro, Charizard X, Bisharp, Absol, shiny Roserade lol. He’s one of the only people who violently changes his team cause he’s gotta show that he’s not like the other boxers!!11!!!!

Aran Ryan is a cheatsy motherfucker. this must be established first and foremost. His Pokemon, in and of themselves, are not cheatsy. But he probably cheats like hell during. His team is Sawsbuck, Crobat, Muk, Midnight Lycanroc, Gengar, and his sig is Zoroark. Zoroark, of course, transforms into other Pokemon. Probably what he does is put Muk or Crobat in the last slot so Zoro will transform into one of those. There’s a likelihood Mac will switch to a Psychic pokemon to fight the Poison, but JOKES ON YOU MAC!!! IT’S DARK TYPE AND IMMUNE TO PSYCHIC!!! this is not a cheatsy strategy tho. but he probably teaches his Pokemon to do dirty tricks and like, try to legitimately injure the other pokes. it’s total bs. why won’t anyone stop this mean fuck (because it’s fun). i also imagine he might try and have the Zoroark pretend it’s him for the first bit of a match for NO reason other than because it’s hilarious

So for Soda Popinski we’ve got Arcanine, Midday Lycanroc, Stantler, Mamoswine, Mandibuzz, and Ursaring as his sig. Not super set on that but yeah. His strat is just Hyper Potions, Hyper Potions, Hyper Potions! Mamoswine also has lots of hp, and I wanted to give him more pokes with huge amounts of hp but they just weren’t fitting. but wouldn’t it be cute if he had a Blissey or something? but he just heals relentlessly and it is infuriating. JUST LET THEM FAINT!! You’ve got to go with hard-hitting moves and stop him from healing!

Bald Bull’s got Feraligatr, Dusk Lycanroc, Kabutops, Gyarados, Hydreigon, and Tauros as his sig (of course!). Generally lots of strong, vicious Pokemon! His only strategy is hard-hitting physical damage. If you’ve got a physical wall then you’re in business! But still you’ve got to be careful. This dude ain’t fuckin around and his Pokemon are strong. He probably also uses Bide and Rage a lot, those are quite useful for his set up.

For Super Macho Man I bet his theme is Pokemon that are considered status symbols. But I don’t really know a lot of Pokemon like that off the top of my head! So maybe just in general, Pokemon that aren’t easy to obtain! He def has Alolan Persian (this is just a status symbol Poke), Milotic, Volcarona, Machamp (his signature), Porygon-Z, Dragonite. stuff like that. But his Pokemon are still decent, but they are his because they’re rare and they made him feel special! you can’t afford these pokes! get fucked! He’s a very flashy style of battler, focusing more on how cool moves look, but he’s still a huge threat! don’t underestimate him! (I feel like I’m starting to sound like Doc Louis with these tips haha)

Mr Sandman is almost a bit tough to pick Pokemon out for. He needs tough guys but also some Pokemon that he’d like to attach to his whole sleep/dream theme! He def has Hypno, just cause he likes Hypno!! But then he’s got Pokemon like Slaking, Garchomp, Lucario, maybe Spiritomb, and Scizor. all of the pokemon that can mega evolve have a mega stone, and depending on which is the most beneficial he’ll use that one, but he often goes to mega Garchomp. he relies on status conditions and hard-hitting moves and Pokemon.

whew!! and once Mac beats them all, he’s the Champ! idk what his team would be, I never really though about it aside from like… Hitmonchan (maybe), Mienshao (maybe). but yeah! this is generally kinda what I was thinking. I hope this all makes sense, I ramble a lot and sometimes I’m not super clear! thanks for asking!!!!

[maidenoftheworld]

Haha sorry I didn't read the title but Zona for the ask thing.

Who is more likely to hurt the other?I answered this one indivually and said it’d be Zoro. He can get hot-headed about serious issues (which I think is happening more and more as the series goes on, when we see him feel like he’s put under pressure) and I’m sure he’d snap if he felt backed into a corner.

Who is emotionally stronger?This one’s hard, because I don’t know how you’d exactly define emotional strength. They are both strong in different ways, but I’d say Nami, because she isn’t afraid to show her emotions. Being emotionally strong doesn’t mean hiding yourself away, but being real with how you feel!

Who is physically stronger?Zoro. No matter who I’m asked to compare him to, I’d always say Roronoa freaking Zoro.

Who is more likely to break a bone? Ooh, I wanna say Zoro for this one, because I don’t think he’d actually care if it happened. However, it’s definitely more likely…because wth!? Why hasn’t it happened yet? Could you imagine him with a broken arm!? OMG!

Who knows best what to say to upset the other? Naaamiii. Fans won’t stop referencing the debt she has over him for that very reason. He’s so touchy about her bossing him around, but hey, Zoro loves a challenge.

Who is most likely to apologise first after an argument? Probably Zoro, because Nami is more prideful in that sense. But I imagine it being a wordless apology…like, he runs the bath for her in the bath house and takes her up there to wash her back for her or something. Or maybe he just tries to start talking to her again like everything’s over and done with, then gets cuddly with her when no one is around. XD

Who treats who’s wounds more often? Nami treats Zoro’s because he’s a doof who doesn’t care if he gets hurt (but still no broken bones!?). Although, it’d be cute for Zoro to treat her and scold her for not taking care of herself!

Who is in constant need of comfort? Hmmm…neither one, really. They are both suuuper introverted when it comes to dealing with their emotional baggage. That’s what they respect about one another the most – they don’t pry, but they still have faith in the other to carry on and be strong.

Who gets more jealous? I want to say Zoro sooo badly, but I bet it’s Nami. Sure, it looked like Zoro was jealous on the Baratie that one time. However, Nami is easier to rile up when she feels like she’s being bested in terms of charm, so I can see her losing it if a girl was relentlessly trying to woo Zoro.

Who’s most likely to walk out on the other? Nami, but he’d have to be a complete dunce and frustrate her to no end. She’d just get fed up talking to him (or rather, screaming at him) and just leave.

Who will propose? Zoro, because I imagine Sanji and Brook and Franky and Jinbe would kick his ass if he didn’t do it right. But I think Nami would know when he was going to do it and feel like she’d have to coax it out of him, so it’d kinda be like she’s setting up her own proposal?

Who has the most difficult parents?Uhhh… Uhhh… UHHH… Neither? Because they, ya know, died? We never saw Zoro’s? And I love Belle-Mere?

Who initiates hand-holding when they’re out in public? Nami, and she’d play it off like she’s just trying to bug him, and he’d get all mad about it, but he wouldn’t let go because he doesn’t wanna be a pansy about it. And when they get further along in their romance, he’d just reach for her hand reflexively when they go into different towns~

Who comes up for the other all the time? I’m not sure what this means…sorry!

Who hogs the blankets? Nami, but it’s not because she’s a blanket hog – Zoro just doesn’t need blankets to sleep. The guy can nap against the freaking mast for crying out loud! He’s aiight.

Who gets sadder? Nami, at least in an obvious way. I imagine her coming up to the Crow’s Nest and just watching him work out and then as soon as she’s done, with a huge pout on her lips, she drapes herself over him for some comfort, even though he points out that he’s super sweaty and she just ignores him~

Who is better at cheering the other up? I think they both know how to make the other smile, but the correct answer is LUFFY! XD

Who’s the one that playfully slaps the other all the time after they make silly jokes?…Anyone who watches One Piece knows the answer to this.

Who is more streetwise?They both are street-smart in my opinion. In terms of literally ‘street’ smart, it’s Nami. XD

Who is wiser?Really, I find that over the years, it’s not so clear-cut anymore. Nami typically displays intelligence beyond her years and her quick wit has saved them many times, but Zoro really throws his two cents in more often now when the going gets tough and his points are extremely valid. I’m gonna say their even.

Who’s the shyest? …Probably Zoro, since he can be embarrassed more easily about things like those babies in the filler arc after CP9. Otherwise, I’d say neither.

Who boasts about the other more? Oh Nami, for sure! She’s told a few people that Zoro is the strongest person she knows, whereas Zoro is quieter in his admiration.

Who sits on who’s lap? Cat Burglar Nami cosies up to Tiger Roronoa Zoro when she’s done playing flirty games and just wants his attention

Send me a ship, and I’ll answer these questions!

[megashadowdragon]

green bull will kill ussop which will lead to sanji fighting green bull and possibly killing him

ussops death  its been foreshadowied here:

usopp is the fourth person to be a part of the crew(this includes luffy ) and in japan the number four is associated with death for the Japanese word for “four” sounds like the word for “death”(shi)(pronunciation)

en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Japanese_numerals#Basic_numbering_in_Japanese “The 4th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Thatch, was the only commander who met an unfortunate end before the present story. He was murdered by Marshall D. Teach because Thatch had found the one Devil Fruit Teach desired most- the Dark-Dark Fruit. PX-4 was the first of the Pacifista to be destroyed.” tvtropes . org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FourIsDeath en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Japanese_superstitions

more reasoning on ussop being the straw hat who dies

He's considered by Oda to be "the weakest" member of the crew at every point of the story. Only Chopper dying instead would match the feeling of needless cruelty that Usopp dying would bring.

He's one of the original members of the crew from East Blue, at this point basically counts as a day one.

He's split from the crew once before and had to reestablish his loyalty, making his connection to the crew rather deep compared to the other members.

His bounty has surpassed Sanji's and has the title of "God" on his wanted poster. His reputation has been increasing constantly.

He's the ONLY Straw Hat that can die and still achieve his dream. Becoming a brave warrior of the sea doesn't require that he be alive to enjoy his new reputation, only that people remember him as such. Every single other Straw Hat requires them to live to accomplish their goals.

also who will kill him  well ussops  inspiration (besides pinnochio and aesop ) is  tengu  

about Tengu Legend in Japan. Tengu is expressed as a shooting star/comet. The shooting star came from East. there are some ranks of Tengu. White Wolf Tengu is the lowest. when wolf spends many years, it will get a god power and become a white wolf tengu. the white wolf tengu’s job is carrying people to climb a mountain.

represents the white wolf

god power etc

en . wikipedia .  org/wiki/Tengu

tengu is a shinto god that  long nose and crow like features the tengu is known for playing tricks and deceiving people they also only help those they find worthy and hate people who use knowledge or authority to gain status or fame this fits ussop the tengu uses star attacks too. tengus are at their stronget when theyre made whenver ussop gets angry in a fight he has shown to have amazing strength they also use magic associated with trickery (good at tricking people  and the forest just like ussop I mean after ussops time on that island during the timeskip ussop got alot of of plants to use in his attacks. and ussop is good at trickery like the trick he did on mr.4 in baroqu works and miss merry chirstmas during their fight or him

star attacks by ussop  along with attacks that relate to celestial objects which shooting stars are

Ketchup Boshi (ケチャップ星 Kechappu Boshi?, literally meaning “Ketchup Star”)

Hokaku Boshi (捕獲星 Hokaku Boshi?, literally meaning “Capture Star”):,

Zombie Shoten Salt Ball (ゾンビ昇天塩玉（ソルトボール） Zonbi Shōten Soruto Bōru?, literally meaning “Zombie-Purifying Salt Ball”):

Akahebi Boshi (赤蛇星 Akahebi Boshi?, literally meaning “Red Snake Star”)

Sakuretsu Saboten Boshi (炸裂サボテン星 Sakuretsu Saboten Boshi?, literally meaning “Exploding Cactus Star”):

Hi no Tori Boshi/Fire Bird Star ,  Himawari Boshi (向日葵星 Himawari Boshi?, literally meaning “Sunflower Star”)  , Cho Kemuri Boshi (超煙星 Chō Kemuri Boshi?, literally meaning “Super Smoke Star”):   Kamakiri Ryūsei (カマキリ流星 Kamakiri Ryūsei?, literally meaning “Praying Mantis Meteor”)Atlas Suisei (アトラス彗星 Atlas Suisei?, literally meaning “Atlas Comet”)    (post time skip Totsugeki Ryuseigun (突撃流星群 Totsugeki Ryūseigun?, literally meaning “Charging Meteor Shower”) ,   Bagworm (蓑虫星（バグワーム） Baguwāmu?, literally meaning “Bagworm Star”) Midori Boshi: Sargasso (緑星・サルガッソ Midori Boshi: Sarugasso?, literally meaning “Green Star: Sargasso”) )

onepiece . wikia . com/wiki/Usopp%27s_Arsenal/Kabuto check out the list of all sections and you will see how many star based/celestial based  attacks he has

Kinemon once called Usopp “ a Tengu”

so as we know that ussops associated withthe tengu (which goes down to the names of alot of his attacks being associated with stars/celestial objects and him using plants  for a tengu is a forest being. nad its quite likely that green bulls powers revolve around nature for so far each of the named admirals have nicknames where the color is associated with their element. akainu( red dog) uses magma which is associated with color red. aokjii ( blue pheasant ) uses ice associated with blue, kizaru ( yellowpheasant  )uses light which is associated with  the color yellow . and fujitora ( purple tiger)  has a gravity-based ability which is a force of nature. Gravity is associated with the color purple in Japanese media. Mega Man's gravity suit is purple for example. so it only fits for green bulls power to be associated with the color green

In Japan, green signifies eternal life. Green is the colour of fertility and growth in traditional Japanese culture. As the colour of nature, the Japanese word for green, midori, is also the word for vegetation. In addition, the colour green represents youth and vitality, and the energy of growth. Green can also represent eternity, since evergreen trees never lose their leaves or stop growing.

 and exist in/be related to the natural world like the others. I mean light, magma, ice, and gravity are all things that exist in the world and are involved in making it which fits since they work for the WORLD government. so it fits for green bulls ability to fit that trend while relating to the color green like have a paramecia plant manipulating power (

. or a zoan mythical zoan DF  like the yokai . wikia . com/wiki/Jubokko  or some other plant yokai

yokai . wikia . com/wiki/Category:Plant

to have powers relating plants  

and 

there was a coverpage where akainu shown taking care of a plant so it fits for the new admiral chosent by akainu to have plant abilitys plants can be very dangerous look at popgreens for example  and green bull could utilize popgreens with his plant df               

and ussops currently utilizing plants  and is inspired by  a forest spirit so it fits for ussops final opponent the person who kills him be someone with a plant related ability that would be green bull and this will lead to the sanji vs. green bull 

I mean there had been 2times where sanji specifically came in to rescue ussopp from death/fought someone who did something specifically to ussopp (specifically fought for ussopp bon clay where he took back the goggles from bon clay who had taken it  after beating bon clay up some more and second with jabra where jabra was nearly killed (each got worse damage for usopp) as time went onso it would be fitting if the third time sanji fought a guy for usopps sake was to avenge his death after sanji failed to get to usopp in time to keep usopp from dying   like if sanj iwent to usoppp and  walked in to green bull standing  over usopps corpse or green bull hitting ussop with the finishing blow and killing ussop infront of sanji with sanji getting there too late since sanji has a number motifs of 3  

“Bonus: 2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9 / 3 = 3″

porche-chan . tumblr . com/post/138515824861/porche-chan-bonus-2-0-1-6-9-3-3#notes

His name (三時 san-ji? ) can mean “three o'clock” or “three o'clock snack”. This points to a wider theme in Sanji’s character, revolving around the number 3:Sanji is  the third-strongest member of the Straw Hat Pirates.Sanji usually fights the third strongest member of the villain group the Straw Hats face during the story arcs. The exceptions to this rule are in Punk Hazard and Dressrosa as Sanji fought Vergo and Donquixote Doflamingo, opponents far stronger than the ones Zoro fought. It’s fair to note in Zou, Sanji also defeated Sheepshead the strongest Beasts Pirates member left on Zou after Jack left to rescue Doflamingo. sanji is the third strongest of the monster trio. and the third man to join luffys crew and usopp is a member of the weakling trio in fact he is the third strongest of the weakling trio ( the weakest) like how sanji is the third strongest of the monster trio )

and sanji specializes in observational haki and its likely that ussop will specialize in observational haki given thats the haki ussop first awakened and is most fitting for ussop since he’s the sniper

and sanji has a close relationship to ussop

“You know what’s more amazing here than the fact that Sanji seriously kicked his captain’s rubbery ass? He almost hurt Nami by kicking Luffy right toward her direction. Nami was threatened enough to actually scream, not just dodge out of Luffy’s way. Sanji doesn’t apologize to Nami - hell, I bet he didn’t even realize that he almost hurt her. This really shows the heat of the moment, as well as how much Sanji was upset over Luffy’s words to Usopp”. “sunnyul. tumblr . com/post/145669021863/you-know-whats-more-amazing-here-than-the-fact#notes it would fitting  for he ended up going  go against people who have harmed usopp two times before but each time the damage to usopp grown and the motivation for  the fight relating to ussop  increased with the first time with bon clay bon clay had beaten up and stole his goggles and sanji wanted to get them back for ussop   with the second time usopp almost died  and sanji interfered to save ussop so the third time  usopp will die by green bulls hands  and sanji will fight green bull his killer to avenge him. (it doesn’t have to be immediate it can be at end of story) heck ussop could die because he sacrificed himself for sanji and

it fits for sanji to fight green bull since sanjis nickname is black leg which is the name of a disease thats fatal to bull

www . merckvetmanual .com/mvm/generalized_conditions/clostridial_diseases/blackleg.html

(note that that sanji doesnt have to defeat ryokugyu/green bull the first time they fight/confront each other. after all zoro didnt defeat fujitora when they first confronted each other ( though I think zoro will end up fighting adn defeating fujitora)

(also  ryokugyu   in english translations  mean green bull for ryoku means green  so his color motif  is green and it just so happens that zoros color theme is green

and sanji and zoro are rivals so it would be especially fitting for sanji to fight green bull  who has zoros color theme plus zoro already has an admiral who he will end up fighting and beating in the form of fujitora who was based of a zatoichi  a fictional samurai (and his actor))

bulls and cows are cattles so sanji will kill ryokugyu or just defeat ryokugyu pluss cows/bulls are slaughtered and for their meat like people make beef and used for cooking Beef is the culinary name for meat from cattle. Beef can be harvested from bulls, heifers or steers. Its acceptability as a food source varies in different parts of the world. en . wikipedia . org/wiki/Beef and theres another exotic type of dish called bull testicles / people eat the testicles of the bulls and snaji is a chef and has a tendency to make comments about cooking in his fighting so when he faces ryokugyu he could make a comment saying he will turn Ryokugyu into beef or make references to preparing beef in reference to  ryokugyu

so it fits for sanji in a sense to kill green bull since bulls are slaughtered for their meat and sanji can make a comment on that

not to mention that it would fit his epitaph

not to mention that sanji killing an admiral would fullfill what he promised kuma that the one who the marines would fear the most out of them

 would be him since he killed one of their "Greatest Military Powers". and it fits  with how black leg is a disease thats fatal to livestock like bulls ffor black leg sanji to be responsible adn directly kill green bull

Roronoa Zoro X CisFem Reader

34

Four rounds flew by with each team claiming two, though honestly, you and Zoro barely scraped by with your wins. The two of you worked smoothly together alternating and aiming without much vocal communication. Your opponents on the other hand grumbled and argued with each other every time Kid stepped up to serve.

Birdie never missed a shot. Not once - not even with her enormous half drunk boyfriend looming over her. This changed when it was his turn. She would try to guide his eyeline to an easier shot and help with his trajectory.

"Shut up will ya?!" he held the ball out in front of him.

The brunette rolled her eyes in frustration, "No wonder you lost before."

"Not the time, Kitty." Killer muttered from the sidelines.

"We didn't lose!" Kid's eye twitched as he tossed the ball too hard over shooting the edge of the table.

She was already pouring his shot when he turned back to her.

The crowd was definitely amused, you could say the same for yourself.

"You drink it." the redhead snapped as she held out the glass.

"You're the one that missed."

"It was your fault!"

"How was it my fault?!" she stood on her toes to meet his annoyed gaze.

He bent down close to her face, "Lotte."

She almost visibly shuddered as he growled her name, "Fine - this one time - to shut you up."

She took the shot and slammed the glass on the table.

"If you two are done flirting..." you chuckled as Zoro handed the ball to you.

"You don't want to know what their flirting is like." Killer shook his head.

"Gross." you and Zoro muttered in unison as he nudged you and nodded toward the table.

There was still an easy shot left in front of you. You were certain you could make it even as you swayed.

"After this we just have two more." Zoro murmured tipping your elbow up as you got ready to aim.

"Don't help her." Kid called, "That's cheating."

"Let them," Lotte smirked, "cheating won't help them anyway."

"Ignore them." Zoro leaned in so you could hear him.

"Right," taking a deep breath you aimed and exhaled as you tossed.

The ball circled the rim and plopped into the cup eliciting a cheer from the small crowd.

Kid cursed and chugged the beer as he handed the ball off to Lotte - who immediately, without a bit of showmanship or hesitation sank her shot.

You sighed and reached for the cup.

"I've got it." Zoro's fingers brushed over yours as he took it from you and downed it.

Now one cup remained in front of you.

You had to hope Zoro would make this next shot and Kid would miss on his turn. The room was starting to spin around you while also buzzing with excitement. This round would determine the winner.

Bets were floating around with Shanks who graciously offered the winners a cut. Still upset over the spat you had a few nights ago, he bet against you.

Zoro let out a soft breath as he centered himself and took aim.

Another cup down.

Unbothered Lotte grabbed the cup and guzzled the beer wiping her wrist over her chin and lips as she finished.

Tension filled the air as the room fell silent. Everyone watched Kid stumble to the table and squint raising the ball.

With a hollow thunk it bounced off the rim and rolled across the table earning some groans and cheers.

The pressure was on, you had to sink your shot. There was no way Lotte would miss.

Sensing your drunken distress Zoro leaned in putting the ping pong ball in your hands.

"There's no rush if you need a minute."

"Thanks Tiger." you murmured , "Ah, sorry....habit."

He smirked, "We'll talk about it later."

"Are you ever gonna go? I'm sobering up over here." Kid interrupted.

"Shut up," you snapped and glanced at his brunette, "I dunno how you put up with him."

"He is a handful." she agreed.

"Thin ice Birdie." he warned.

She only chuckled apparently amused by his annoyance.

You sighed and closed your eyes trying to steady yourself and tune out the throng of party guests watching. Opening your eyes again you focused on your target and tossed.

The ball floated right over the brim of the cup once again filling the room with noise.

Zoro handed off your shot. You gulped it down thankful that it would probably be the last one. As you set the shot glass down Lotte ended the game.

The crowd closed in on the four of you patting your back to comfort your defeat. You could hardly keep your attention on anyone for longer than a few seconds. The alcohol pumping through your system was finally settling in and it was getting harder to stand still.

"Hey, good game." Lotte held out her hand with a cocky smile.

She really did pair well with Kid.

"Yeah, no fight this time either." you chuckled, "It's almost like everyone wins."

"Except ya didn't, squirt." Eustass rumbled winding his arm around her waist.

"There's always next time."

"Right." Kid laughed turning toward the porch to get some food.

As the crowd dispersed you realized your partner had vanished. With a small pout you chuckled sadly to yourself.

This was stupid.

What were you expecting?

Most importantly, you needed to sit down and sober up.

After letting Marco check on you he helped you into the den and drew the curtains.

"Just rest in here for a while, I'll get some water, yoi."

"Such a good twin I have." you chuckled plopping down on the floor.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

You hummed struggling to remove you're shoes, "Jus' gonna lay down."

"You have your phone?" he watched you pull it from the pocket of your dress before lying all the way down on the rug, "I'll be back but call me if you feel sick, yoi."

"Yes mother." you chortled sprawling out as he exited the room shutting the door behind him.

Left with your thoughts you tapped your feet together keeping time with the tune in your head.

"...Thinking maybe these

Stupid whiskey dreams

Are gonna to kill me soon,"

You chuckled to yourself as you aimlessly murmured the lyrics and closed your eyes.

"Tried my best

To go out last night

Saw some people, didn't care, couldn't even try

Thinkin' darlin' that

You should take me back

Before I loose my mind.."

The door clicked shut.

"Welcome back mama bird ~." you giggled keeping your eyes closed.

"Mama bird?" Zoro's confused tone sent all of your blood to your face.

"Ah - I thought you were Marco, he hates being called that." you dared to glance up at him as he crossed the room with a cold bottle of water.

"He sent me in with this for you." he sat down next you and touched the bottle to your neck making you shiver.

"Hey, rude." you brushed him away as he chuckled lowly, "Thanks for stepping in earlier. Ya didn't have to."

"I wasn't gonna let you have a rematch by yourself." He watched you sit up and lean against the sofa next to him.

"I'm mad that you aren't as drunk as me."

"I just handle it better." He smirked but you didn't miss his slightly rosy cheeks.

For a few moments you sat and took in each others presence.

"Look, I wanted to apologize fo-" before you could finish your sentence he tilted your chin to look you in the eyes.

His thumb traced your bottom lip, "Shut up."

That tone sent your heart racing, it was somehow stern, sultry and playful. You'd experienced it many times.

You weren't sure of the tiny string of moments that led up to it, but suddenly your lips were connected in a desperate kiss. You shifted to face him moving your hands up the back of his neck into his hair. Quick soft smooches allowed you to catch your breath between long deep kisses.

He pressed his forehead to yours, "I missed you."

"I missed you too, Tiger." you caressed his cheek and nuzzled his nose.

526-528: "Undersea Volcanic Eruption! Drifting to the Fish-Man Island!", "Landing at the Fish-Man Island! Beautiful Mermaids!" and "Excitement Blow-out! Sanji's Life Under Threat!"

HOORAY! :D:D:D

Will this be one of those arcs that’s filled with sympathetic villains? The kind of characters who... well, you get where they’re coming from because they have a cast-iron reason for their villainy and you feel conflicted about cheering for the heroes? Or will it be more complicated than that? 

I hope I like this arc. Ever since Arlong Park, since I learned about the Sun Pirates from Hachi and the racism Fishmen experience I’ve been hoping Oda might dig deeper into the theme. It’s early days yet, but from what I’ve seen in this episode, I’m quietly confident he’ll deliver.

Cthulhu Is... Friendly?

Must admit the Flying Dutchman action was a bit of a let-down. I thought Captain Vander Decken would be the next villain (or at least the henchman of the next villain). It was built up so well. The creepy “Dead men tell no tales” speech, Brook confirming he was the Real Deal, that the legend told of how the captain lost his mind, killed his crew and cursed the gods (who got their revenge by cursing him to drift forever).

I thought that might make a good plot line (that was before Hammond appeared and the Real Plot kicked in).

The Kraken coming back and sucker punching the Sea Bonze was so worth it. I laughed like a drain and could not believe I was cheering a Kraken like it was Hell in a Cell. Top it all off, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji came paddling back in a single bubble. And Luffy had made the Kraken his pet and named it Surume! Only Luffy can get separated from his crew and return with a pet Kraken. And laugh about the fact that he almost died.

The volcanic eruption action scene was fun. The Flying Dutchman crew and the Kraken would not mess with nature. The water glowed an ominous red and before Luffy gave any orders, Surume the Kraken was already checking out. Nami made the call for them to leap into the deep trench ahead to avoid the pyroclastic flow (is that even possible underwater? I have no idea.)

Usopp got to show off some of his skills by shooting a net-like plant weapon that stopped the debris from the eruption from smashing Sunny to pieces. (Could be good in combat for subduing bad guys.) I liked how Luffy was a good captain and praised Usopp and his cute Kraken pet for doing a good job. There’s that leadership shining through.

This was just before a stray rock bonked Surume on the head and the Strawhats woke up... ten thousand meters under the sea?

But... how? I thought. 

It was bright. There was natural light and vivid colours. How? 

Because it was Fishman Island! :D

Cannot lie. I was excited to finally see it. I wonder how it was for manga readers then to see that place brought to life after so long. I mean, how many chapters was it since it was first mentioned in Arlong Park until now when it was animated. I mean, it was huge! And there were entire massive trees inside the bubble. I still have no idea where the natural light was coming from, but pffft, did I care? It was FISHMAN ISLAND! :D

Then the Border Patrol Arrived?

At least, that’s who I thought they were at first.

And they brought Plot, which, let’s face it, is always good.

Three shady-looking Fishmen rode up on massive Sea Kings. They were so tough, they spoke to Surume the Kraken like it was a disobedient pet. Or... more accurately, as if it was a race traitor. “Why are you obeying such fools as humans, Kraken?” Surume fled the scene (obviously scared of these guys).

They recognised the Straw Hats too. I love how Luffy said, “Who are you? How do you know about us?” Um, Luffy... everyone knows about you now. xD

But these guys went way back. Much further than Alabasta, Enies Lobby, Impel Down or Marineford.

“You are the ones who foiled the Arlong Pirates’ plan. You stood up for Hachi and knocked out a hateful Celestial Dragon, just like Fisher Tiger, the hero of Fishman Island.”

They claimed they were the New Fishman Pirates and demanded the Strawhats enlist under their banner or be sunk.

Hammod did most of the talking but two others tagged along (Hyouzo and Kasagon). 

Nami and Franky knew Luffy would say no (and possibly put them in danger because they couldn’t fight back). They took a huge gamble and spent the last of Sunny’s air crashing through Fishman Island’s protective bubbles.

The dramatic tension when the coating shrank, pinning all the Strawhats to the deck was great. But it really ramped up when the first bubble ripped off the coating and the second one turned out to be full of water. I didn’t expect that twist.

Was that the closest the Strawhats have been yet to almost dying? 

Camie to the Rescue!

Luckily, they have a friend who was sort of expecting them. Luffy, Usopp, Chopper and Sanji woke up at none other than Camie’s place! (The others were separated. Franky, Nami and Robin are together. I have no idea where Brook is and Zoro is on his own.)

Turns out she works at a Mermaid Cafe on the sea floor of Mermaid Cove. The dorms are more affordable on the sea floor, as opposed to the ones higher up with more natural light. I liked that Oda has imagined an entire class system here. Mermaid Cove seems an okay place. Pappagu the starfish is in the fanciest district: Fishverly Hills (lol!) and is a famous designer. Hachi lives in Fishman District, which Camie said was a ‘rough place’. Luffy still thinks Pappagu is Camie’s pet. I don’t think Luffy completely gets how Fishman Island works yet, but Camie was nice and didn’t say anything. Hammond also hinted at another Fishman Island faction: Neptune’s Army, who were introduced later but I don’t know which side they’re on yet, so they seem like a neutral third party so far. 10/10 world building from Oda there.

Camie showed them around. They took a cute turtle elevator up to the “surface”, where there were clouds, blue sky, trees and rainbows. Luffy mentioned reuniting with Jimbei because “when Ace died two years ago, I didn’t lose heart thanks to him” (yes, Luffy. I’m glad you realise just how much Jimbei did for you!)

But Jimbei was not on the island. Camie seemed to hint the War in Marineford caused a bit of trouble in Fishman Island. She didn’t go into it, damn it.

Then, the royal family’s Fish Boat swam into view, heading straight for them, carrying the Neptune Princes (Fukaboshi, Ryuboshi and Sanboshi). The mermaids hid the Straw Hats, in case they were arrested for illegally entering Fishman Island. One mermaid made the mistake of holding Sanji... let’s just say a little close to her chest.

And Lots of Beautiful Mermaids

You know what, I didn’t want to say but over the past couple of episodes, Sanji’s weakness had been annoying me. Not really badly. Just that the joke was getting a bit thin because it’d been played so many times for laughs.

Now I know why.

Does Oda do nothing without a purpose?

He had to set up all the blood loss stuff because blood transfusions are a central tenet in the hatred a lot of Fishmen have over humans.

When Sanji had his Vesuvius Moment, Dr Chopper bravely came to the rescue. Just as the Princes seemed about to take the Strawhats (though they didn’t want to arrest them. Still not sure what their deal is), Chopper placed himself in harm’s way and shouted, “Stop! I’m a Doctor! Can anyone donate S RH negative blood? If Fishman blood is the same, would anyone be willing to donate?”

Chopper unwittingly referenced an Old, Highly Politicised Grudge.

Fisher Tiger: The Hero of Fishman Island

Hammond, who had been lurking, waiting for an opportune moment to catch the Strawhats, couldn’t stay quiet at that point.

“No one on this island would give blood to lowly humans,” he scoffed. “If anyone did, they’d risk punishment from the Dark Night, from human haters. The Old Law in the kingdom states that donating blood to humans is prohibited.”

When the Strawhats protested, Hammond fired back with some Context.

“You humans set that rule first! You people have a long history of fearing us. Didn’t want your blood mixed up with ours. That’s how the hero, Fisher Tiger, died. He risked his own life to free slaves of all races. But after a bloody war, he died. He could have lived if he had a transfusion. The heartless humans refused to give their blood to him.”

I was gobsmacked by that. Honestly. What a great twist, in terms of both plot and morality! How are the Strawhats going to fight against years of racism, abuse, toxic politics and the veneration of a martyr-like figure who means so much to the people of Fishman Island? 

This is going to be a wild ride.

Usopp dismissed the old law. He begged someone, anyone, to help Sanji. Hammod tried to take Luffy by force but severely underestimated how much stronger he’d become (that Haki, honestly... it is so badass).

Camie hijacked the Royal Fish Boat (the royals here seem pretty laid back because if that was real life, you’d be in your local Impel Down faster than you can say, “But I need a blood transfusion!”)

And it seems something is rotten in the state of Fishman Island. Not only are the Strawhats the first human visitors in a while, the Princes were unable to deliver a message to Jimbei.

I wonder if it’s anything to do with this shady character?

This is the guy who wants to see Luffy. The one Hammond calls “Boss.” Hordy Jones, I think his name was? And here we have a shady face, not entirely revealed, sharp teeth and a good voice actor? This has happened before with Moria and Crocodile. Could this be the villain? Is this Hordy Jones, or is he higher up the chain?

I hope so. Was blue-balled with the Flying Dutchman stuff. Don’t want it happening again, haha.

Also, who or what is Noah? Was confused as to whether it was a location or a person.
