#GODDAMNIT ZORO

[brainrotcharacters]

rewatching episode 6: zoro's foolishisms

"we need a doctor" "last i checked we don't have one"

me in my 15th rewatch, still panicking: CHOPPER PLEASE GET CHOPPER SOMEONE FIND CHOPPER

[pewpop]

redraw :]

went a little too hard with zoro's expression lol

[watcher-wilds]

Keep seeing genderbends of the strawhat pirates and they make zoro skinny just bc she's a woman. Fucking stop that

[demyrie]

I started following you on Twitter, and after enough exposure to the things you retweeted, I finally thought "who is this green-haired man with swords and why do I want to hug him?" Now I'm 15 episodes into One Piece, and yes, I love him. Thank you!

My goodness, yes, I have been bitten by the Bug 😩 I'm glad I could inspire you to get started on One Piece, because a) omfg it's so long we're joking about getting Ves to quit her job so we can catch up and b) it's full of motivation and heart-based narratives that I think we all need right now!! It's SOOO GOOOOD.

(Also Blinkers what's your @, I follow you back)

I feel like I should issue an apology to all of my mutuals, here and Twitter, for all the Zoro and Sanji and ZoSan content that I'm flooding them with?? But it's all so beautiful ❤️ full of directionally challenged yet steadfast big himbo swordsmen that you just wANNA HUGGGG

I'm full of immense fuccor that Sanji is my favorite. Like. An emotionally damaged, overcompensating little ball of nerves with a dual performance/abandonment complex? A blond boasting EQUAL POINTS on the Cute and Cunt scales???? Goddamnit.

I'm gonna have to put him in Situations. With Zoro. For my mental health, you understand. And his.

(I explained to my therapist that I'm very busy but also coping really well rn, and part of it was due to the new fandom flutters, and she legit said "cool enjoy the hyperfixation" before we logged off LOLLL I love fandom-informed professionals)

Cross Guild Romance prompt: During a regular dinner night at Cross Guild, somehow some way, everyone in the main command crew's drink or food gets spike with some kind of harmless but psychedelic substance, like the chef accidentally uses the wrong kind of mushroom or something. Somehow Buggy is the only one who actually avoids getting dosed and then has a massive dilemma on his hands. He had to run around stopping his crew from basically perishing themselves. The most heart stopping moments he has to deal with involve Crocodile and Mihawk, both high outta their gourds. Crocodile almost kills everyone by nearly unleashing one of his sandstorms and then deciding to try and walk on water while Mihawk wants to go and split Karai Bari's mountain range and then carve everything up to make it look Zoro and Perona's face a la Mount Rushmore because he misses his pseudo kids goddamnit! Buggy basically has to lock everyone up and do his best to talk down Crocodile and Mihawk. His frantic efforts lead him to inviting Mihawk and Crocodile to his bed for a good time. Instead of the hanky panky though, Buggy ends up cuddling both Crocodile and Mihawk for the rest of the night and comforting them as they share the deepest heart breaks and regrets they have with him. Come morning everyone is thankfully sober, deeply embarrassed, but ultimately okay. Mihawk and Crocodile have a newfound appreciation for Buggy after he took care of them. They figure things out eventually.

Poor Buggy, I really want to know why this happened. That poor chef that made the things or it could be an attack by someone? Who knows? That means he needs to take care of Alvida, Mohji, Cabaji, Galdino, Mihawk, and Crocodile, right? Or does Daz also count? Because either way, it could be funny.

Buggy having to tell his followers to lockdown the island until things can be settle. Because what the hell is happening. With his crew I see funny things, but Crocodile and Mihawk nearly killing everyone must have been really stressful for Buggy.

Having pick Crocodile up from walking on the water by floating above him because that’s the only way it could happen. Then tackling Mihawk down before he craves anything into Zoro and Perona’s faces because he doubts those two kids want that. Saving everyone is hard...

Poor Buggy he must have done many different tricks to try and calm his lieutenants down. Running out of options so he tries to seduce them?… I mean Crocodile and Mihawk are in bed, just cuddling the clown and telling him their darkest secrets. Probably unprompted, making Buggy worried for his safety after they wake up and realize what they told him though.

When they wake up, Mihawk and Crocodile are totally going to be so embarrassed about the things they did. Buggy is petty, the clown won’t let them forget about it. Would he use it to shorten his debt? Yeah, he would and just to make them squirm too.

[onepieceanimals]

Luffy and Chopper not wanting to miss out xD

I will never get over Luffy staring like (⊙_⊙) Ace king thought the girls were hiding meat from him and he WAS going to find it, goddamnit!

Also love Zoro isn't there, my man is so gay

[therealmofamorus]

Ask

Original Stud

What if Nami tricks Zoro and Sanji in drinking something that makes them change gender?

https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=7014644

Zola: *Stoic* Goddamnit Nami! *Folded her arms to cover her huge tits* Sanjina: Why are you bigger than me Seaweed Head! *Growled in envy and a nosebleed as she glared angrily at Zola much bigger tits out of a mixture of envy and lust*

Nami: *Smirked*

[gildedmuse]

I feel like in a tapletop game, Law would be the GM, because he would have to be. He's the only one who would TRY.

And he'd spend that entire game:

Law: No, Zoro-ya, you can not attack those innocent towns people.

Law: Okay, Long-Nose-ya, but you'd have to roll a nat 20 so it's near - Oh goddamnit.

Law: Nami-ya, do you really want to roll to pickpocket actual deiti - and a 47, sure why not.

Law: Zoro-ya, please don't make me roll just so you can attack those gods.

Law: Mugiwara-ya! That is not how this works.

Law: You know what, sure, Zoro-ya, go ahead and attack the dragon with you lvl 1 sword. See how that -

Law: OH GODDAMNIT!

Baratie Arc

I LOVED THIS ARC

Baratie Arc? More like Sanji Arc- Ok ok ok let’s get started.

First of all: New crewmate!!! Sanji is so cool. His backstory was probably the darkest of the crew that’s been revealed so far bc like. Starvation is no joke. ALSO ZEFF CUT HIS OWN LEG OFF TO SAVE SANJI?.?? that’s his dad. Idc who Sanji’s real dad is, ZEFF is his dad.

Zoro’s friends were so funny in this arc too like how are they still alive 😭 I’m glad they’re ok though. Full body iron fist or whatever his name is? He was INTERESTING WHY DID THEY JUST USE HIM TO INTRODUCE SANJI AND GIVE LUFFY A REASON TO STAY AT THE BARATIE FOR LONGER THAN HE HAD TO. BRING HIM BAAAAACK I WANT SANJI TO KICK HIM IN THE FACE AGAIN!!!

Also Mihawk. All hail Mihawk. He’s so great omg I want more Mihawk content and I want it now. He’s my fave he looks so cool I want a poster of him

ZEFF is chill, I like him. He’s funny. The fact that he hits people with his hat while he’s wearing it is hilarious and I love it.

Also idk why but I rlly like Sanji’s shirt. Like- the stripey blue shirt. It’s my favorite thing ever. Also Sanji gets so angry so quickly and it’s absolutely hilarious like he was so calm until Fullbody spilled the soup. He curses so much and I appreciate that.

IM SO CONCERNED ABT THIS CREW BTW CAUSE LUFFY JUST PUNCHED DON KRIEG THROUGH THE SPIKES AND ZORO GOT DESTROYED BY MIHAWK- WHERE IS THEIR SURVIVAL INSTINCT 😭

Also Sanji saving Luffy from drowning 👍 they’re besties now I don’t make the rules

I think Usopp has all their survival instinct at this point

Alright, I might rewatch this arc later, I really liked it! It was cool 😎

Baratie Arc notes (I made these as I watched the arc)

Be warned, this is essentially spam that makes no sense if u don’t remember every little thing that happens in the arc

Why do they have so many limes??? I mean It’s good they had them bc scurvy is no joke but WHY

ALSO THE “hooray hooray!! Hooray hooray!! Hooray hooray!!” IS SO FUNNY

“A certain hawk-eyed man you’re looking for is there” 👀👀👀👀👀 HIM?????

“OUR DESTINATION IS..” IM FINALLY GONNA KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE BARATIE OMG-

🧍‍♂️ “Barateeay”????? What?????

THE MARINES R HERE TOO???? 😭

Oh the iron fist guy is kinda cool tbh.

“They’re an eyesore. Sink ‘em.” DAMN. NVM IG???

I’ve heard OF Arlong before but now I’m actually seeing the wanted poster and Nami is crying??? 😟

Did. Did Luffy just hit the Baratie with a cannonball.

FIRST SANJI SIGHTING IM GOING FERAL AAAAAAAA THERE HE IS!!!!!! ITS HIM!!! I WANT A PLUSHIE OF HIM I CAN THROW AT THE WALL. If I don’t like Sanji’s VA I swear I’m throwing myself into the sun.

He’s great. Sanji is great. So cool. (Also Zeff sounds like a muppet and it’s so incredibly funny that he bonked Luffy with his hat)

“Sorry sir, don’t know really. Looks like he’s floating. Then again, it kinda looks like he’s drowning, but it’s hard to say for sure.” Sanji is so funny I love him

Why did Sanji put his hand in the spilled soup though??? 😭

“The customer is always right”? No. “The customer will get kicked in the face”.

WHY DID LUFFY AND ZEFF FALL THROUGH THE CEILING??

WHY DID FULLBODY SHOOT ONE OF HIS OWN MEN IN THE RESTAURANT??? I AGREE WITH LUFFY THIS RESTAURANT IS CRAZY

Ok wait no it wasn’t Fullbody I got confused.

Sanji is so slay though. He’s so silly.

“I REFUSE TO ACCEPT YOUR REFUSAL” I’m- ????? 😭 this is so good

Sanji stop throwing dishware into the sea 🙏

LUFFY GODDAMNIT WHATS WITH THE DISRESPECT FOR DISHWEAR IN THIS EPISODE

“Finish pouring it yourself” IM SOBBIMG.

Nami scamming Sanji is the funniest thing ever but also like free food is so good so I get it

Don Krieg this Don Krieg that IDC

“I saw things that I couldn’t bring myself to believe” IS THAT MIHAWK??????

IT IS!!! IT IS MIHAWK!!!!!!!!

Also Usopp’s scream is great lmao BUT THE LOOK OF TERROR ON EVERYONE’S FACES!!! Mihawk is great :]]]

Also I thought Sanji had a painting of cheese earlier but it’s a map 😭

“Perhaps you interrupted him during a nap” I love that that’s canon in the live action apparently omg Mihawk is great

Why does one of the Don Krieg Pirates just have a shirt that says ‘war’ on the back??? 😭

What’s with the freaky green candle??? OH ITS MIHAWK’S FREAKY GREEN CANDLE. MIHAWK MY FAVE. HES SO COOL. Also I didn’t mention this earlier but why do the cooks have giant cutlery weapons???

Anyways Mihawk :]

Oh WOW he cut that boat clean in half. They’re gonna need some flex tape.

WAIT NAMI STOLE THE GOING MERRY??? HUH???

also Mihawk’s little ship is so funny why is he using candles in the ocean 😭 how did his boat not sink??? So many questions HIS BOAT IS SHAPED LIKE A COFFIN HES SO GOTH

Where is this man’s shirt. 🧍‍♂️

“Just killing time.” MIHAWK. I’m a Mihawk stan now istg.

Mihawk is so cool, also how in the world did he win that fight with a tiny dagger??? Also the ‘I’m afraid I don’t carry any smaller blades’ WOW

JESUS CHRIST THEY WERENT KIDDING WHEN THEY SAID SANJI ALMOST STARVED. Also that pearl guy is weird.

I love how much Sanji curses omg. ALSO GIN IS SUPER STRONG???

“He’s our cool-headed cold-hearted pirate fleet chief commander Gin.” Why. Why was that sentence so long.

I like Sanji’s stripey blue shirt. It’s cool. It’s a wonderful blue shirt.

“Say, have you ever heard of the All Blue?” IM SCREAMING HE S SO EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT IT.

YOSAKU,,,,???? HOWD HE GET EATEN BY A SHARK AND HOW IS HE ALIVE (Also the chefs loving Sanji’s soup 😭)

Why does Sanji have a suitcase of kitchen knives.

ALSO SANJIS BACKSTORY NEEDS TO STOP MAKING ME CRY

[qierxing]

goddamnit the live action one piece is actually fun and they got me with zoro's actor goddamnit goddamnit goddamnit

[brainrotcharacters]

dhmu opla zoro took a bath at a rich girl's mansion and then found himself a silk robe

[zhalar]

Genuinely i DON’T KNOW how to preface this. ok no wait yes i do. I’ve been idly shuffling an idea of a modern au for ofmd for about five months and the catch is that the entire au exists only so that I can get Stede to read One Piece. [hums in an IDK-way]. i’m probably never writing it but I did get cursed thinking about the concept again last night and wrote all these headcanons about the crew & their enjoyment of the series like a man possessed. Feel free to disagree with me but honestly I doubt that the overlap of people into our flag / people into one piece / people following me is all that abundant LMAO. Anyways! Whatever! Here it is

Lucius too fking pretty to read a SHONEN of all things. And one THIS LONG??? honey no. Pete keeps him updated more or less against his will. He can appreciate the more artistic pieces in the manga/colorspreads, loves to make fun of some of the character design. Has drawn Pete's self-insert for him.

Buttons isn't into this sort of media but goddamnit by peer-pressure/osmosis he’s figured out some arcs/characters and he fucking loves them like a lunatic. Some Real Obscure Faves. I mean, idk man. He enjoyed Little Garden to a degree I haven't seen many people enjoy. He talks about the story as if he's read it a thousand times. Like he’s experienced it first-hand. Maybe he has.

The Swede fucking loves the fact that Nami would be swedish irl, and he's thus crazy abt her. Not in the creepy way dudebros are, but in the funny way Nordic people are. Cries over the "Family" song without a filter.

Kuina is Jim's best friend and they headcanon her allll kinds of genderqueer. Really into the Tashigi-Kuina-Zoro -theories. They also love all the rest of the trans rep to a ridiculous degree, and love to shit on Sanji. Thinks the female characters look fucking ridiculous, but (unfortunately), they also think they're Really Cute Damn It All. Jim's big on powerscaling (annoying) (but they've got a permit) and fight scenes. They bond with Pete over their secretive love of Franky.

Pete and Jim fight a lot. Over the powerscaling <3 he's on a slippery slope to full dudebro-ism but the virtue of being queer and understanding the trans rep better than the typical ppl who Twitter recs to him do, he's not there, exactly. Probably thought Skypiea was boring until Wano i'm sorry to say it.... Feels a kinship with Usopp and Franky but if anyone asks his fave is Zoro

Roach has complicated feelings about Sanji, but here's the positives: loves the ideas he has about food, loves the sort of magical girl/princess vibe his story gets, and he misses the going behind the scenes-stuff he used to pull on the reg :(. Roach fucking adores Luffy (I mean who doesn't), it's the message of food and anti-authority that really get to him. “If one of these characters doesn't die soon I'm taking them there myself“<- thinks the no-deaths -rule is stupid.

Frenchie fucking hates the post-timeskip looks. Loves to pretend the timeskip never happened. Does not like to talk about Marineford. Super big on theories and the deep lore of the series and wants to know what the one piece is now now now. Looks down on people who've skipped Skypiea. Film Red is his fave movie (makes no sense compels me though plus the soundtrack FUCKS). Convinced that Foxy is gonna come back in a big way.

Oluwande loves the world of OP, the creatures and islands and how grounded everything can feel despite being a sort of a whirlpool of a mess... He's sorta taking the scenic route. Never not talking or thinking about Water 7/Enies Lobby. No one knows if he's caught up (Jim knows cuz they're the only one who won't spoil shit for him). Brook and Buggy are his faves. I don’t know why I just Know it.

Wee John is anime-only and watches the dub so he can work while the show is playing, but does prefer the japanese VAs and is caught up on the anime. He cringes a lot over the color choices and other things-that-look-bad in the post-timeskip seasons. Big fan of Marineford. Clips the best bits of animation and sends them to the group chat mostly for Frenchie and Buttons’ benefit.

Stede fell in love with Luffy's whole deal instantly :-( he is like a son to him. Also adores the details of fauna and flora and inventions. Sort of glaces over long-winded fights. Here for a Good Time. Got into the manga cuz Alma wanted to read the series (had read most of East Blue already), but she was still a bit too young when they found out she had, and Mary relented to let her continue when Alma roped Stede to be her buddy-reader (like how you can let kids into movies if they’ve got a guardian with them. You know what I’m getting at here). Stede was a bit snobby about the series at first because he prefers his pirates a bit more historically accurate + the fantastical elements felt a bit daunting, but this was something he wanted to do to have some father-daughter -time and shared interests with Alma. Jokes on him, he fell So fucking hard for the breezy and wacky nature of the manga that he’s now way ahead of Alma and trying to hide the fact. He doesn’t know that you could read it from an app so he carries a minimum of three volumes with him at all times. Was reading a volume on public transport on his way to his Big Corporation McOffice-Job all decked out in a suit and tie and a briefcase when Ed (who’d seen him many times by this point) finally approached him and sparked a conversation over the manga. Appreciates the amount of dilfs (Mihawk, Rayleigh, Roger...)

Ed's into the over-arching big themes and the surprisingly anarchist reading of the story. Chopper's backstory makes him cry like a bitch. Loves the mountain of mental stimuli. He used to run a very popular and scarily accurate theory-blog under the name “Blackbeard” (cuz he and OP-Blackbeard share a last name. And he has a black beard. It’s funny to me), and got sorta profiled as this dudebro-crowd pleaser, and most of his theories had to do with like, the nitty and the overtly gritty. Once he wanted to broaden his horizons and start talking about the queer elements of the story, and taking a more critical look at some of the more glaring problems of Oda’s writing of certain characters or issues, he got massive backlash from his followers. Shit got boring, and Ed started to feel like he couldn’t enjoy the story anymore and was debating whether to drop the series all together... Stede’s enthusiasm and love of the nitty and pretty (and silly) got him back on board and now he doesn’t try to predict what’s gonna happen, anymore, and is just enjoying the ride. Also let himself finally appreciate the fact that Luffy doesn’t just kill his enemies (this used to be a big point of discourse among his followers). Loves Big Mom as a villain + her backstory is one of his faves. Also a fan of the dilfs.

Stede 🤝 Ed

missing the time when Chopper looked like a little freak

[mihawque]

Look, I might be overdramatizing a bit, but by fighting him at the Baratie, Zoro saved Mihawk’s life.

We know that for the last ~10 years, Mihawk has not had any competent rival or any motivation to become stronger. He’s the best already, no one can get anywhere close to him in term of sword fighting skills, there’s literally nothing left that he hasn’t already achieved.

But then he’s so bored he chases a weak ass pirate back to the East Blue, the weakest of the four blues, and meets a green haired idiot who’d rather die than admit defeat, a 19 year old kid who reminds him of the inherent worth Life has.

In Chapter 52, literally titled “Oath”, we get these panels.

(aka a lot of Mihawk talking to Zoro and through Zoro to talk to himself: I shouldn’t rush to Death, it is still too early for me to die)

And, most importantly, this page:

This is Mihawk swearing an Oath to Zoro: No matter how much time passes, I vow to remain the strongest, to make sure you have to defeat me to fullfill your dream.

That day, Zoro gave Mihawk a dream to live for.

[alpanmix]

If that’s what it comes to-

I really want to know what Marco’s thinking when Whitebeard headed off to Marineford. Was it anticipation? Dread? How did it compare to when he left it? And when he led his men in the Payback war, what was he thinking?

I made a speedpaint of it here!

[kazzledazzleandstretch]

I'm going through my untitled docs from last year in my Google drive and stumbled across 935 words of a story where I killed off Shawn bc I wanted to write a tragic murder ghost story and I HAVE NO MEMORY OF WRITING THIS AT ALL. LMAO. Like wtf I murdered Shawn Spencer back in January 2021. Wtf. WHY DID I DO THAT.

935 words of unfinished fic below if you want to feel sad and unsatisfied at the same time.

*~*~*

Shawn had made a bad mistake.

And bad was an understatement. THIS was like Sonic the Hedgehog’s cringy design bad. This was like cancelling Firefly way too early bad. This was a mistake of epic proportions. And it was bad bad bad.

The fake psychic strained at the bonds holding his wrists behind his back, being careful not to allow his shoulders to jar along with the movement. He was cross-eyed staring at the gun under his nose and a fleeting foolish thought crossed his mind of how he could wrest the weapon away from the perpetrator. As much as he would have liked to believe he was in an anime, he had to remind himself that he could not wield a gun between his teeth. Only Zoro had the jaw strength for that.

Besides, Lassie would be there within minutes. Shawn Spencer, Psychic Detective, had to practice the art of stalling.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” He sang, hoping the man in question would sneer and ego alone would grant him a few moments to allow for his two favorite detectives to show up.

The man did sneer. Shawn grinned indulgently before the fear he’d held at bay dropped like a stone in the pit of his stomach as the gun moved, pointed—Shawn’s eyes widened as the trigger finger moved, he opened his mouth to improvise more when the first shot struck him, robbing him of breath. He hadn’t fallen yet when the second shot tore through him and then a third.

Shawn hadn’t even realized he’d hit the ground. 

His mind registered the man’s receding footsteps. There was nothing but noise and the cold cement ground beneath his cheek and hand. Shawn’s fingers twitched and he felt a warm stickiness spreading under him. He didn’t know how long he laid there.

He knew he wasn’t going to make it.

*~*~*~*

Lassiter had arrived at a seemingly abandoned building—a shed or garage of some sort—after a whispered call from Spencer insisting that he had solved his case. His case. Lassiter’s case. Lassiter wasn’t sure why he bothered to feel disgruntled about that fact any more but he still found it in him to be so. He held his gun ready as he crept to the door.

He knew he should wait for Juliet. He had called Spencer twice upon arriving and had heard the obnoxious pop ringtone blaring from within. There was an open window with no frame or glass pane to speak of. When Lassiter exited his car, he could discern no other sound from within. It was concerning enough—because Spencer was a civilian goddamnit—that the detective found himself sneaking around to the first entrance he could find.

Trusting his instinct, not second guessing it, Lassiter threw the door open, gun aimed at the ready, corners, forward, cleared. 

Spencer was on the ground.

Lassiter lowered his weapon as he rushed forward, dread filling him at the sight.

Blood.

Blood had pooled under the consultant. The sort of sight Lassiter often found with murdered victims. Oh fuck.

Lassiter called for a medic on autopilot, already crouched beside Spencer. He was still alive, but the man’s eyes were glazed over, unseeing as he breathed shallowly. “Spencer—Shawn, snap out of it.” Lassiter could hear the quaver in his own voice. He didn’t care. He snapped his fingers in front of Spencer’s face, hand falling away immediately as the man blinked and seemed to focus on Lassiter. “Help is on the way, hold on.” He insisted, eyes roving over the man now, assessing. 

“Lass.” 

The detective’s eyes snapped back to Spencer’s. His voice was a rasp of concentrated effort and pain. His fingers twitched and Carlton had never felt more helpless in his life. “Don’t. Save your strength.” 

Spencer laughed. The jackass actually laughed. Granted, it was a breathy chuckle that gave way to coughing but Lassiter’s fingers clenched all the same in response. “I’m not…” Shawn started, but closed his eyes. Panic welled within Lassiter and he reached out to Spencer, laying his hand against Shawn’s cheek and neck.

“Stay with me, Spencer.” Lassiter urged, his thumb tapping Shawn’s cheekbone. The pressure of his fingers trembled, light, then grasping before loosening once more. Shawn’s eyes remained closed. “SPENCER!” Lassiter shouted, jarring the fake psych back into awareness. “Do you hear that?” He asked as relief briefly pushed into him at the sound of sirens. 

He wasn’t sure if Spencer could hear it but the man smiled, his eyes closing again.

“Spencer…”

“Listen.” Shawn whispered, his eyes fluttering open again. Yet somehow, Lassiter knew he was much too far away to really register him. His hand pressed warmly at the juncture below Shawn’s ear. He was so cold. “I need to tell you. It was—” Shawn’s breath hitched, his face wincing as his eyes fell closed once more. Lassiter waited, despite himself, hanging on Spencer’s every word, unable to tear his eyes away from the man.

He could hear voices outside the building. “IN HERE!” Lassiter roared.

“Lassie.” Barely a whisper now. “It was...” Shawn’s words fell on his out breath.

There wasn’t an in breath.

“Shawn, stay with me. Stay with me.” Lassiter was grasping the back of Spencer’s neck before his fingers fumbled for a pulse, eyes wide and angry as the paramedics burst around them.

Lassiter was swept back and seconds later Juliet was clutching his arm, fear in her eyes as she spoke but Lassiter couldn’t hear a word she was saying as the emergency responders hastened to move Spencer to the ambulance.

It didn’t matter, Carlton knew. 

Shawn was dead.

*~*~*

[gildedmuse]

Going into Whole Cake it does sort of feel like every Strawhat has a prerequisite in their contracts stating they get an arc about when they try and leave the crew, preferably for a noble cause or act of self sacrifice.

When they finally get around to it, the arc where Zoro leaves the crew is going to be by far the shortest arc ever.

Zoro: I'm leaving the crew.

Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Brook: WHAT!?

Sanji: Finally.

Luffy: *Enters A State Of Shock-Despair*

Zoro: -to get some more sake. I'll be back in time to take the watch.

Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Brook: *Collective sigh of relief*

Sanji: Goddamnit, marimo. Don't play with a guy's emotions like that.

Robin: *Robin Giggle™*

Zoro: Whatever. See you losers later. *Leaves*

Luffy: *From his State Of Shock-Despair* Where'd all the meat go? Sanji, why are we out of meat so fast!!!

Haha. See, the joke is that Zoro would never leave the crew or Luffy's side unless it were an order or he was just going to find something real quick like...

...

...!?

Wait. Oh god. No.

When they finally get around to it, the arc where Zoro leaves the crew is going to be by far the shortest longest arc ever.

I mean, how could they be so reckless as to allow that boy venture ashore on his own? We'll be lucky if we ever see him again!
