#Part 1: Bit & Pieces

[beaulesbian]

One Piece Live action season 1 + hints or similarities to future One Piece moments (specifically after East Blue saga) - part 1: episodes 1-3

This wasn't meant to be a comparison between the live action and the animanga, but more so seeing these added/modified scenes that differ from the manga, yet with some of the acting/writing includes clues and hints to different and future canon material, or even characterization that necessary doesn't fit East Blue yet, but fits well enough into later arcs.

Luffy not knowing his world directions both in Opla (ep 1) /// Skypiea arc, in anime ep 168. But it could be for honestly any other arc (Funny thing is, in Opla he rang the bell that unfortunately alerted Alvida's crew, and only when I was rewatching that scene it made me connect it with the great Luffy moment at the end of Skypiea.)

The matches that Zoro has on the Island of Sixis in Opla ep 1, possibly manufactured on Baldimore (?), with a name Beast of Baldimore. /// After Sabaody Archipelago Franky was sent to Baldimore by Kuma, finding Vegapunk's homeland and laboratory, and also developing more of his science projects, as well as causing funny incidents, such as the Burning Beast. (It has probably nothing to do with the matches, except for the 'tiger on fire' motif and the name of Baldimore, but the details of Opla are just so fun!)

Zoro's first meeting with Luffy in Opla episode 1 is really different but fun nonetheless, especially with wording of the line that he doesn't want to 'play pirates' with Luffy. It's such a great setup line for his development to truly be one of the very first to understand how much Luffy means everything he's doing /// Zoro in ep. 323 Post Enies Lobby arc, making sure both his crew and the audience know how seriously he takes being part of Luffy's crew and what it means for future arcs.

Opla ep 2, Luffy mentioning Shanks' way of thinking about fighting (or not fighting someone who's not worth it) /// ep. 146 Jaya arc, Luffy saying to Zoro not to fight Bellamy's crew, which was direct influence from Shanks not fighting the Mountain bandits in the first chapters of the manga. It's interesting that for both of these scenes both Zoro and Nami are there to hear this.

This is just a fun bit, but seeing Nami excited about having a bath was cute. Opla ep 3 /// anime ep. 326, just after they get Sunny and everyone was finding out what space there is for them.

Garp and Koby playing the game of Go, Opla ep 3 /// CP0 agents playing Go while discussing the outcome of Strawhats & Oden's crew's raid on Onigashima against Kaido. It seems like a game that maybe Marines play more/enjoy (?) & above, up to CP ranks.

Usopp 'retelling' a story about eating a dragon, Opla ep 3 /// Punk Hazard ep 580, Zoro killing the dragon and planning with Luffy what's the best way to cook and eat it. Lol. In next chapters Luffy was carrying a big chunk of it, seemingly ate a bit part of the dragon already.

This one is self explanatory. Zoro is so gone for Luffy in Opla it's insane. Every time I remember that I get emo. ep 3. /// One of the first really fond smiles that Zoro keeps smiling at Luffy, a mixture of proud and understanding how Luffy works. ep 63, but it's just so much better in the manga, just look at it. Smitten™ (ch. 104)

Here’s a fun little wip test fan animation on the redhead gremlin himself Ichiji that I have been working on in the background in my spare time over for past few months.

It was a short animation study and practice of me trying to replicate the One piece anime Toei animation style but it ended up looking more like Oda manga style instead all well. :3c Overall, I’m really happy with the result so far.

“Ranma!”  

The young man was leaning forward, staring at himself in the mirror as he dragged his long fingers through his oversized fringe, ruffling it just perfect. It wasn’t every day that he needed to dress presentable, with the sense of escorting Akane in front of all her colleagues, he needed to make a good impression. He didn’t know why, but he did know it was important to him.  

He held in a long breath understanding that he wasn’t actually presenting her as his date.  

“Where are you?”  

Her voice only got closer, knowing she was now down the hall from reaching the communal bathroom. And when he pulled himself away to take a glance at her, it was undeniably how breathtaking she was. She was wearing a very seemingly elegant spaghetti strap dress, with the cinched side of her waist overlapping into a ruched split just midthigh. She walked toward him, her barefoot loud on the wooden floors as she held up two necklaces, one in each hand, enthusiastic as she asked, “Which one?”  

He scoffed, cocking a thick eyebrow high as he shrugged his shoulders, “How would I know.”  

“Well,” she laughed out loud in a breath, looking up at him momentarily before looking back down at the jewelry in her hands, “which one do you think would look pretty on me?” There was a timid grin tugging at the corner of her very glossy mouth and god did it tug at his heart. Her eyes were absurdly wide, batting her long eyelashes as she watched him watch her with her flushed cheeks taunted him entirely into matching the color of her rosy blush. Her voice had been spoken in an exasperated tone, as if she were expecting a different response but he just didn’t know which response.  

“I have the gold one,” she continued observing the thick chain, “which is more of a bolder look. But the silver one seems more submissive,” she glanced up at him once again, just for a tad second before refocusing on the thinner chain, “or elegant, I should say.” She chuckled at the way she had finished her explanation, but he had not.

Ranma was trying to remember how to breath as to not intoxicate himself with the bewitching scent Akane’s perfume was emitting. He was just too close to her, and his mind was too muzzy to think about anything else but the way some of her dark strands just barely touched her bare shoulders. And how he so desperately wanted to touch her. He wanted to reach down and drag the palm of his hands up and down her arms and lock her down and... 

“So, which one?”  

He cleared his throat, looking away instantly with a slight set of rolled eyes, “Geez, you ask me questions I can’t answer, ‘Kane.”  

“You can’t tell me which necklace makes me looks pretty?” She groaned, her stance following as he began to walk away, just barely nudging him on the shoulder.  

“Okay, okay,” Ranma laughed, his own grin wide as he raised both hands defensively, “the gold one.”  

“The gold one?”  

“Hey, you wanted an answer, I answered.”  

“God, you’re such a dummy.”  

-:-

Akane appreciated that Ranma was trying, but considering his tipsy state of being, she couldn’t deny it was hard to maneuver the both of them up the stairs to the apartments. The party had been a delight, and Akane had appreciated that Ranma had offered to accompany her not caring that he didn’t know any of her coworkers, but he might had gone a tad overboard with the champagne. She had insisted that one glass should last a moment, and it’d be best if he’d enjoy the drink slowly with a bite.  

But of course, Ranma was Ranma, and she knew this very well. By the fourth glass, and a whole platter of yakitori skewers, the pigtail wearing man was more drunk than he’d like to admit. Of course, other drinks had contributed in getting him as he was, but by the end of the night he was fascinated by the champagne.  

At last, they had reached the third floor, and within minutes she had removed her heels and his dress shoes before guiding the both of them to the living room sofa. “God,” she grunted as she sat him down, trying to adjust him just as his body decided to slant onto its side when he began to doze off, it seemed, “you really are dope.” Still, Akane lifted his legs onto the sofa and stuffed a pillow under his head, ignoring the way Ranma insisted he could do it himself.  

She took a moment to fetch him a glass of water, setting it on the coffee table and then settling herself to sit on the floor next to him with her knees against her chest to help rest her chin atop, noting she was eye to eye with him. She chuckled loudly, her eyes admiring his flushed face as her arm reached toward him and used the palm of her hand to push his bangs out of the way. 

Aside from the hint of alcohol, he smelled good; it was such a familiar scent, one that was comforting and familiar and allowed her to relish the essence of what she considered reassurance. Reassurance of what, she did not know, but it was nice. The tip of her fingers dragged down his forehead and the bridge of his nose, stopping at its pointy tip momentarily before continuing at its side along his cheekbones and cheeks and then along his jawline.  

“Aw..Aw-kah-neh,” Ranma breathed deeply through his nostrils, startling her briefly as she watched his eyes scrunch together as if in pain.  

“I’m right here, Ranma,” she answered, sitting up straight, “did you want me to take you to your bedroom?” she offered.  

He shook his head slowly, a mischievous smirk suddenly making itself known as he blinked his eyes open. “The gold,” he gulped through his dry mouth and throat, “looks beautiful on you.”  

Akane shouldn’t have felt her cheeks and neck heat up as fast as they did, but they did, and she wanted to look away and smack him silly because he was apparently talking such nonsense in his drunken state. Although she also found herself smiling timidly at him, embarrassed, even if she did not know why.  

Nonetheless, she found herself replying, “Thank you, Ranma.” 

Ranma usually didn’t express himself so openly about her in such a way, but she’d accept a compliment over anything else any day.  

“You’re beautiful.”  

Stop. Stop! STOP!  

“And you’re drunk,” Akane chuckled nervously, “I think you’ll feel different in the morning.” she insisted.  

But Ranma grunted, shaking his head in disbelief as he laid sideways, looking straight ahead at the brown-eyed young woman who was now trying to look at anything but him. “Akane,” he called her, his voice soft and low, but very clear and direct that he wanted her to look at him. And so, she did. She sat with her knees pressed against her chest, her arms now wrapped around them as her chin rested on said knees. And she waited on him to continue, looking at the way he was looking at her.  

“Ranma,” she mimicked teasingly, her voice just as soft and just as endearing.  

“Yes, I’m drunk. And you are beautiful.” He smirked so sharply; she needed help keeping her heart staying still. “And tomorrow morning, I'll be sober, but you’ll still be beautiful.”

[racke7]

Huh. I actually managed to finish Divinity 2 for once.

[skyloftian-nutcase]

It had started out normally.

Link and Mipha often went swimming together. It was an enjoyable pastime, good exercise for Link, and a fun relief for Mipha, who spent a fair amount of time outside the comfort of the Domain. So when the Champions were all together, Mipha had quietly asked if Link wanted to go swimming.

The Champions had come to the castle for a meeting, both to report on their progress with the Divine Beasts and for the royal family to inform them of the progress with other ancient technology, as well as updates on the situation across Hyrule. King Rhoam had overseen the meeting, but he’d let Princess Zelda speak on the ancient tech, which she was very excited about. It had been a long day, ending with Zelda wanting to show everyone the progress at the ancient tech institute near the castle.

It made the situation rather… public, but it was dusk, Link and Mipha hadn’t seen each other in several weeks, and they were both happy to just spend time together.

Neither party noticed how the other Champions giggled as the two peeled away from the group heading back to the castle.

Link still didn’t really talk much, but he didn’t have to - Mipha was more than happy to speak to him about updates in the Domain, and he’d only occasionally pipe in with a smile. The full moon shone brightly on the couple as relaxed in the calm waters before Mipha paused her words, watching Link and biting her lip.

Link, who had been floating happily on his back, looked over at her, raising an eyebrow. Was something wrong?

”Link, I…” Mipha trailed off nervously. “I was thinking. About… well a few things, but, really, I… I mean, what I’m trying to say is I was observing that Hylians in generally really just… well, I mean you’re an excellent swimmer, but…”

Link tilted his body so he was floating upright, giving her a bewildered look.

Mipha caught on that she was rambling in circles, and she took a calming breath. “What I mean to say is… Hylians can’t really see a lot underwater because they can’t hold their breath for very long.”

Cocking his head to the side, Link waited for his friend to get to what she was actually trying to say.

”So, I… I wanted to try something,” Mipha explained, a blush staining her white cheeks. “B-but only if you would like to! I-it’s a little, well… w-well, we’ve been seeing each other a lot, and I truly have been enjoying it but if this seems too much, then—”

Link swam over to her, smiling a little. Initially, when Mipha would get caught in these spirals, he’d thought it was because she was concerned about appearances, that she didn’t want to be associated with him in any kind of close manner. Now, he knew it was just nerves, a barrier her own mind had put up to stop her when she wanted to say something more casual than she was used to.

Honestly, it was both sad and funny how much anxiety seemed to be plague him and his friends. Daruk, Urbosa, and Revali didn’t seem to carry it the same way, but perhaps that was because they were older and more experienced. But him, Zelda, and Mipha… that was another matter.

Mipha bit her lip again and then buried her face in her hands.

”Mipha, what is it?” Link finally asked, growing a little worried. Whatever she wanted, she seemed particularly worked up about it. It couldn’t be that bad. “Are you asking if I don’t enjoy spending time with you? Because I do.”

“Wha—no! No, nothing like that at all!” Mipha hastily corrected. “I m-mean—I’m—I’m glad you—wait, you truly do enjoy it?”

Link laughed. Goddesses, he loved her. He wished he could just say that. But that seemed to be going too far. “I do.”

Mipha lowered her hands, mouth slowly closing, blush returning but far gentler. Her eyes told a strange story, soft and worried but simultaneously reassured and hopeful. Then she finally sighed. “I… this is very forward, and I’m honestly a little embarrassed to ask, but… if you… if you truly do enjoy our time together, then… well… I had an idea.”

Link nodded, eyebrows rising to prompt her. Yes, this was how her spiral had started. Did he need to prompt her some other way?

“Hylians can’t breathe underwater,” Mipha said slowly, eyes looking pointedly at the water and not at him. “I wanted to… give you a chance to breathe like a Zora.”

Link immediately perked up, interested. “How? That sounds amazing!”

Mipha closed her eyes, seeming to steel herself, and she mumbled, “I w-would breathe for you.”

Link blinked. Blinked again. Breathe for him…? How would…

Oh. Oh.

Oh.

“B-but it was just a silly idea!” Mipha insisted, frantic once more.

Link swallowed, swimming a little closer, feeling his own cheeks warm. “I… want to try it.”

For a moment, there was stillness and silence, shock from Mipha and shyness from Link. But he supposed he’d been shy enough times - Mipha had taken the lead in their blossoming relationship, after he’d decided to start visiting the Domain again, and he figured it was a bout time he stepped up.

Leaning forward, he could feel her breath on his face. For one more second they both hesitated, but then Link leaned in, his lips meeting hers.

Link had never kissed anyone before, so he honestly didn’t know what to expect. What he did know was he wanted to do it, and as his nose nuzzled against her cheek, as she moved close enough to press herself against him, his entire body felt like it had been hit by a shock arrow.

The kiss was brief, and the two were speechless as they pulled apart for a moment. Then, Mipha quietly asked, “Shall we see if it worked?”

Link nodded, far beyond words, and dove down with her.

At first, he just watched her. Mipha was graceful in battle, and tried to be so outside of it as well, but her movements on land were small, cute for lack of a better word. Underwater, though, she was beautiful, body moving as if she were flying with ease, completely unperturbed by the weight of the world around her.

Link focused on her a little too long, watching how the fabric of her sash moved, silhouetting her lithe body. He realized too late that he’d held his breath too long, and instinctively, he inhaled a small, startling amount.

And was fine.

Hesitantly, Link hiccuped in a little, and found that no water filled his lungs. Or if it did, he couldn’t tell? He was breathing. He was breathing underwater.

Mipha smiled, and Link laughed, and the two swam circles around each other, diving deeper and deeper into the lake. Link felt his chest start to burn a little, eyes widening in concern as he glanced up, but Mipha swam back over. She didn’t need an invitation this time, concerned that he needed air, and pulled his face to hers.

After the initial panic, Link wrapped his arms around her neck, enjoying the warmth of her body against his. Mipha watched him a moment, and then held up a finger, asking him to wait, before speeding up to the surface. It gave Link a moment to glance around, and he marveled at the moonlight cascading into the depths.

When Mipha returned, her sash and jewelry were gone. She said, “I didn't want the jewelry to get caught in your hair! And, well, no clothes is preferable for swimming this deep.”

Link raised an eyebrow. Mipha blustered, “Wh—I mean for Zora, of course, you should definitely keep your—I mean—”

Link laughed, feeling himself blush as well. Honestly, he did want to explore down here. But not right now.

Right now he just wanted to look at her.

With the moonlight creating a glow close to the luminous stones of the Domain, Mipha looked nearly divine, and no amount of borrowed air could replenish his breath.

“Well, let’s look around,” Mipha insisted shyly, and Link followed her everywhere she went.

This became a new habit of theirs, exploration of places a Hylian had never seen, hidden away in coves where no eyes could perceive them.

And, two years later, long after Calamity Ganon had been defeated, the two swam together in the Domain. The water was surprisingly warm on that summer night, and the bathed the two in light, like Hylia herself was holding them in her hands.

Link looked at his newlywed wife with adoration, so utterly happy to have finally reached this point with her. Mipha wrapped her arms around him, watching him in the same manner, and Link’s hand reached up to stroke the back of her head and pull her to him. Kissing was nothing new to the pair at this point, but it held a different flavor to it tonight, slow and deep and filled with longing, a climax to a long awaited night.

Husband and wife exchanged breath and life together, and their world couldn’t be any fuller.

I’m being very normal about them tonight
