#ZORO BEING LOST IS SO HILARIOUS AND CANON

[tekitothemagpie]

I was scrolling through One Piece wiki and stumbled upon the strawhats miscellaneous. I didn't even know what it was until I read it and ohmygosh.

Some of my favorite things from there are :

If the Strawhats had a race, these would be the results. (the funny part : Zoro would rank higher but he got lost (Help me))

The Strawhats thought processes :

Zoro, Sanji and Jimbei being the sons of the Earth, The Sky and The Sea

What the Strawhats smell like :

And do the Strawhats crunch ice or no :

[rollinouttahere-writes]

I have a head canon where if Lucky or just regular reader is trying to escape (and for some miracle has gotten far), Zoro is the first to find them. Like it’s not even on purpose either! His ass is lost, trying to find you with everyone else, and he randomly finds you in the most oddest place (and most likely losing you after taking a couple of steps). Lets ignore Chopper’s nose and say you threw him for a loop, like something to throw off your scent, but I just find it so funny if Zoro is always the one managing to find the reader while being lost LMAO.

“The hell are you doing up there?????”

“Ummm? Letting my hair become a nest for these birds???? What are you doing down there???”

Such sibling energy, I love it. Ahhh sorry I was rambling! I just wanted to share one of my thoughts HEHEHE

LMAO This idea is hilarious

Like I imagine Nami is the one planning the search and "rescue" missions for your escapes, and she is so torn between just being happy that you've been found and being pissed that Zoro (who wasn't even a part of the effort) found you on complete accident.

50/50 chance that Zoro wasn't even aware you were missing and now believes you're just as prone to getting lost as he is.

[quinloki]

I don't know if you have Netflix or not, but they recently put a show on there called Resident Alien starring Alan Tudyk and I highly recommend it. If you've ever seen 3rd Rock from the Sun, this is kind of like that but more sinister but equally as funny.

I also took tally of all my One Piece figures (some of which won't arrive until September) and here's the breakdown:

3 of Trafalgar

3 of Shanks (one is pre-ordered)

2 of Zoro

2 of Beckman (one is pre-ordered)

1 of Sir Crocodile

1 of Arlong

1 of Smoker

1 of Kid

1 of Borsalino (pre-ordered)

1 of Aramaki (pre-ordered and no one that evil should look that good the bastard)

And then saved in my to purchase list are:

7 more Shanks (one has kid Luffy too)

6 more Trafalgar

5 more Zoro

3 more Sir Crocodile

2 Ace

1 Sabo

1 Marco

1 Mihawk (I don't even care for him but the pose damn near has me drooling)

1 Doffy

1 Sakazuki

1 more Smoker

1 more Kid

I have built a little shrine around my OP DVDs and it's too small to hold all of these future purchases, so I'm trying to figure out where to put them all. In the meantime, when the non-pre-ordered figures come in, I'll share a photo of the shrine. I don't know why I have a hankering for Shanks recently but now Gildarts from Fairy Tail has suck up on me. I do like Marco and I want at least 1 Sabo figure because I like having Luffy's most important people (Zoro, Shanks, and his two bothers).

I don't really know what else to distract you with, um, I had an idea for a One Piece/Fairy Tail crossover one-shot. For some reason, yesterday at dinner this idea popped into my head and had me grinning like an idiot which alarmed my dad. What if, the FT peeps ended up in the OP world for reasons not important to the story so I won't ever have to get into it, and Cana decided now would be a good time to try setting her dad up on a date. Dude has been single her entire life (with a string of unsuccessful short flings that never amounted to anything [the wiki says he was with 13 other women post-divorce]) and she decides to set him up with somebody.

Now, this could go two ways. I could have this be a canon character x canon character or OC which would be the hard way and not nearly as funny as I want it to be OR I could make it canon character x reader thus allowing for the shenanigans. I was thinking of having the one-shot be Gildarts x Reader with him having already met someone and begun dating her but keeping it quiet because he didn't know how Cana would react. Then, when Cana announces how she thinks he should meet someone and kind of sidelines him, Reader plays along because she has to keep up the ruse of them not dating. So the READER sets Gildarts up on a date with a hot, young doctor lady.

And I just thought it'd be hilarious to do that to Gildarts.

The only other idea I have of a simple crossover would be Gildarts and Shanks meeting and upon realizing they kind of look similar, the two hang out in the bar and start comparing how similar they are to each other and then it becomes a contest of who is cooler. Shanks thinking he's so cool because he's maintained his power as an Emperor of the sea despite having only one arm, and how he lost that arm is both cool and inspiring. Then Gildarts dishes it back about how he lost half his body (and an unspecified organ) and is the only person to survive the creature who did it in single combat. Et cetera and so forth. It could be hilarious and also be a fun way to actually show how similar they are without being boring.

Alright, this time I'm sure I've run out of distracting things but if I come up with more I'll be sure to send them in to you. Sorry about your evening burning out.

I need to watch more Fairy Tail so I actually meet this Gildarts - I've seen the art of him so I know the similarity is there =3 But every time I get into FT I end up stopping just after the Lightning Church arc with the guild master's grandson.

Not for lack of interest, but something always seems to come along and pull my attention before I get any further.

Last time it was One Piece >.>

I like the set up for the story idea - the best part about stories that we sometimes forget is that they don't have to explain everything. You're allowed to leave loose threads or things unresolved.

I'm in awe of the your figurine collection. I keep holding myself back, because I don't really have room for one, but also because I can get carried away to a bad degree with collecting things. But I do enjoy seeing a lot of the One Piece figures, so I'm patiently awaiting any pics you're willing to share once more of your order comes in =3

[nakunakunomi]

Hey, Hazel. How would you go about writing Zoro because mann do I struggle with writing a few characters but especially Zoro

Hi love!

Like most characters the way I write Zoro is 60% gut feeling and the headcanons that float around in my head about him, with 40% canon facts sprinkled in! So this explanation will be a mix of that mixed with some views and reasoning why i write things that way.

As with most characters: (re)watching clips of them and going to the Wiki are my first go-to's for quick referencing!

Zoro is both very simple and complicated.

He's got a handful of habits that are pretty straightforward:

Sleeps 3-4h a night only, fills up the day with naps but during those he's 9/10 still at least a little bit conscious, just in case something goes wrong.

Is incredibly, INSANELY loyal to Luffy. And by default the rest of the crew.

I have said it before and I will say it again. His inner compass is a straw duct taped onto a stale cookie.

He trains vigorously. One can never bee "too strong" and there's always room for improvement.

He likes his drinks and the occasional party, as long as there's some of that good good sake involved.

That's as far as straight up habits and facts come, and are the characteristics most easy to get a base idea from. You can never go wrong with dragging any of those into your writings. It's the stuff that makes him immediately recognizable to most of the fandom. He's disciplined, strong, sometimes a little stupid, but never really dumb. (Which is an important nuance)!

Then theres more nuanced parts to his personality. But these are wide open for interpretation. This is how I see (and thus mostly write ) Zoro.

First and foremost. I think Zoro is downright hilarious. He's one of my favorite characters because I just think he's so funny (and not always intentionally).

He's got his calm moments, but when things happen, he can have over the top reactions as most of the One Piece characters do. Zoro's usually are screaming and I love him.

He makes the funniest deadass remarks. Just very casually he'll interject something in the background and it'll be 100% observational humor.

The fact that he gets lost so often, but absolutely refuses to acknowledge just how bad his sense of direction is.

He knows manners and can be perfectly polite and well-mannered, but sometimes simply chooses not to (one of my favorite moments is him drinking from Luffy's huge sake cup with his hands as the straw hat grand fleet is formed).

He is very instinctual. Again, not dumb, just, sometimes his body is faster than his brain. This can give some hilarious situations as well as great softer moments where his quick instincts save the day.

That's only a handful of his funny things, there's more, but for the sake of not making this too long im rounding off here.

He's got his dumbass moments, but Zoro understands the (pirate) world and the way it works very well. When the situation calls for it, he'll be able to strategise properly for a fight, and knows his captain has the last word. He's respectful of that, no matter how much of a dumbass that captain sometimes is.

Another thing that's pretty important is his relationship with the other strawhats. He trusts and respects them SO MUCH. There is banter, sure, especially with Sanji, but as someone with 3 siblings that are younger than me, all adults and all still living under the same roof, thats the kind of fights we have too. And in the end, if Sanji says he'll handle something serious, Zoro will let him. If one says he'll protect x or y, they will. Bickering aside they all trust each other with their lives!!

God this is becoming so long. Let's add in some romantic ideas and then I'll be on my way, I am sorry for making you read all this, this is so friggin long 😂.

Zoro is pretty protective by nature, he's gonna be extra protective in a relationship.

You can pry this out of my cold, dead, hands, but Zoro would be a phenomenal dad. The episode with the little kids? How he's interacting with little chopper and just being that extra little bit softer? My heart is aflame.

he says the most romantic shit by accident, but is not one for purposeful serenades and romantic declarations (leave that to the shitty perverted cook).

He's a little awkward. He doesnt want to hurt his partner and knows he can be too rough. There's so much muscle after all and he's not used to being soft or delicate and will never be. He'll do his best though unless his partner asks for rough.(interpret that any way you want)

Drinking together. Naps together!

He's competitive! Even towards his partner. Challenges and such are things he won't back down from!

He's not that great at taking initiative but will very rarely complain when you drag him along. Just happy to spend time with his partner.

All this, little snippets, mixed with yoru fantasy and whatever you want to select from canon, are generally what I make of Zoro! Honestly, he's pretty fun to write with, and once you start stepping away from the idea "big muscly man be strong always grumpy" you'll have so much to work with! His laughs are rare, but sunshine personified. He's got so much emotions and facets to him, you can pick up any single one of them and just run with it!

Have fun writing, looking forward to see more of your writing (with Zoro and others!) and just generally have fun with it, and then the writings will automatically turn out better ❤.

Much love, very rambly Hazel out

Ps: sorry if the formatting sucks, I am on mobile and idk for the life of me how to format a post here.

Reading One Piece pt 185: MONKEY FAMILY DRAMA GET POPCORN

Chapter 432

Thoughts:

- Ok, here we got nice list of ranks in the World Government. First go World Leaders and we have a food chain of officers. Handy :) (why are there Petty Officers as an official title???)

- So, according to the chart, Grandpa Garp The Vice-Admiral is fourth in the chain of command (Aokiji is 2nd or 3rd depending if he’s a Fleet or Land Admiral but I think Fleet so 2nd)

- You know what, I think I see the resemblance between Garp and Luffy :D It’s all in that jaw structure tho eyes and nose are a little similar too. Yeah, that tracks. Welcome to the family, Grandpa (lol)

- “Hero of the Marines”, huh? Big names in your family tree, Luffy. On the wrong side of the conflict too I may add but eh, details

- …dude, what

- Well, that explains how Luffy got so strong in the first place but Tough Love MUCH??? I was also under an impression Luffy was raised in a barn, what’s up with that

- “I trained you to be a strong marine!” “I always said I wanna be a pirate!” YESSSS FAMILY DRAMA

- Lol, Garp just called Shanks a Bad Influence :D I mean, I guess :D but it’s still hilarious

- AGHFJKSGADSKHS THEY FELL ASLEEP WHILE FIGHTING I LOVE MONKEY FAMILY

- That scolding is hilarious :D

- LORE ABOUT SHANKS EVERYBODY QUIET

- Four Emperors. Holy shit, I finally know what an Emperor is

- (I recognize Shanks and Whitebeard but who are the other two? Also shit, will Luffy have to fight Shanks for the title of The Pirate King? I mean, as I understand it, right now you can become a Pirate King only by finding One Piece so Technically fights for the title aren’t necessary buuut you also need to be strong enough to, you know, keep One Piece for yourself (nobody even knows what One Piece is, lol, maybe possibly probably assumed to be weapons tho) AND strong enough for Pirate World to accept you and your position. I’m sorry but fights seem inevitable. Thought I don’t think Shanks would have a problem with Luffy as a Pirate King per se so we may avoid THAT disaster. But Straw Hats will fight Whitebeard and the other two for sure)

- Ok, before we go further, what was Shanks doing in any proximity of the grandson of Vice-Admiral, like what. What are the odds

- “The “Marine Headquarters” and “Shichibukai” exist in order to counterbalance these four! Their power is so influential that should these “three powers” become unbalanced, the peace of the world would crumble.” Ok, 1) Thank you, Grandpa Garp, I understand One Piece politics now (not like after Five Elders explained it, Grandpa is clearly superior in that aspect) and 2) MORE POWER TO THE PEOPLE if 4 guys are so popular and influential they can crumble your government THEN THEY SHOULD (it’s yet to be determined if Emperors fight for the people. I know at least Shanks isn’t AGAINST people but is he WITH them? It’s not like he printed and handed out papers with his political agenda on them)

- (…Damn, that election messed me up. I’m from EUROPE)

- (And again, what a weak-ass power balance it is. Elder Stars and World Leaders are OLD. Whitebeard is SUPER SICK. IT WILL ALL FALL APART ANYWAY CAUSE THEY WILL DIE FROM NATURAL CAUSES. That system has NO future and NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. THE WAR IS COMING NO MATTER WHAT YOU PREACH GRANDPA GARP BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS FLAWED)

- “I don’t really understand, but I’m happy to hear they’re fine. I miss them…” oh Luffy :D

- Lol, what a chain of events :D Zoro got lost while trying to get back to Straw Hats to warn them about marines and some guys tried to mug him so Zoro beat them up. After that, they had to show him a way back to his house. “And now they’re like “Sorry for almost mugging you” and he’s like “Don’t worry about it, thanks for the guidance!”. I love Zoro :D

Now, will he cause a commotion or what

- Huh?

- Looks like we got a fight here :D a friendly fight, clearly, go deck each other boys :D

- That marine (:D) can use Soru! (The thing Cp9 could do. It was for being faster I think but I won’t remember so whatever)

- “Chief Petty Officer! Petty Officer!” WHY ARE THOSE REAL RANKS IT’S TOO FUNNY

- “Long time no see” “Who are you?” lol

- It’s Coby!!! (from 2nd to like 7th chapter if you don’t remember) :D but yeah, he looks TOTALLY different. He looks like a teenager, not a child. Nice glow-up, keep it up, kiddo. (How old are you by the way because I kinda feel creepy right now)

- Luffy and Zoro can’t believe their eyes :D

- Why is Helmeppo looking kinda cool now? Still like an asshole but with a fashion sense? THAT HAIR WHAT’S WITH THE HAIR

- Ok, no, I’m not looking at them by myself, have a screenshot

- As marines go, they’re second only to Hina-san, like what’s up with that

- Lol, Zoro doesn’t remember Helmeppo

- “I’m the guy who almost drove you to the death penalty!!! Roronoa Zoro!!!” Nope, doesn’t ring a bell :D

- “I’m the idiot son who rode my father’s coat tails!” NOW THEY REMEMBER :D

- “Ok guys, enough. Go fix up that wall” Grandpa put the hole in, he will put the hole out :D with assistance :D

- Yeah, Luffy and him are super related :D

- “By the way, Luffy, I heard you met your dad” WHAT! WAS THAT BLACKBEARD GOD PLEASE NO NOOOOOOOO

- “I have a dad?” everyone has a dad, Luffy, come on. And you’re a shounen protagonist, you have like a Turbo Dad x20 Deluxe Edition

- (PLEASE NOT BLACKBEARD)  

- (at least we know it’s definitely NOT Shanks now. I mean, I knew that, but I finally got to the part in canon where it’s said loud and clear)

- “Oh what, he didn’t introduce himself…? I heard he saw you off at Logue Town!” …give me a minute

- …it’s either Smoker. Or Dragon The Cult Guy. And it’s NOT Smoker.

- Oh Luffy. I’m so sorry

- (AT LEAST IT’S NOT BLACKBEARD)  

- “Your father’s name is “Monkey D. Dragon”, The Revolutionary” why did they draw him like that, Cult Guy doesn’t deserve it

- (Monkey? Is he Garp’s son? Or did he took his wife’s name? Will I ever finish that chapter?)

- …What’s with marines reaction. Like chill guys

- “What’s up with this family!?” yeah, Vice-Admiral, Revolutionary, Future Pirate King… they don’t do things in halves, that Monkey Family

- Lol, Everyone’s panicking except Luffy and Zoro :D these two really don’t know anything :D just like me :D

- Ok Robin, hit us with knowledge

- Revolutionary Army, got it

- Ah. Ok.

- “Ack!!! Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything!!! Then nevermind about what I just said.” AHDJJDKJKAGDFSSGASDGFHSHK

Dragon/Monkey family meta

[where-s-all-blue]

Self Insert AU for your chaotic crack fic needs

When you get transported into the One Piece Universe, you can't choose where you end up in nor in which time. Even your age might be jumbled up.

Depending on where you end up, your memories of your old life will disappear until the crew or group you are in is featured in canon.

If you make a joke about something, it's very likely that the universe will make it happen just to fuck you up. For reference, see C and R making up a lost island that sunk into the sea only for it to re-emergence randomly in the New World right in front of their eyes.

No matter what you do, you can't change the canon plot.

You don't have a plot armour.

Mod specific headcanons under the cut.

Onto the specific headcanons of C and R:

C

C ends up in the same town where Luffy meets Zoro, only days before it happens, hence her memories aren't that jumbled up, but she can't remember her real life friends. She pretty much joins them there and then.

C has the habit of saying cryptic things and accidentally revealing things beforehand, like when someone important is about to join the Strawhats whom she has joined. The crew thinks that she can see into the future.

She also tends to start crying when she meets people who are good but have tragic pasts. Luffy starts to use this as an indicator for people being nice.

During the timeskip, C ended up eating a devilfruit, her devilfruit was Neko Neko Mi, Model: Toyger ver Dwarf. This means that she is essentially a Toyger breed of a regular housecat, who happens to have dwarfism and thus will never grow up bigger than a kitten.

C uses her devilfruit to sneak around, get out of trouble and to get a free lift from her crew members. R uses his fruit power to intimidate people and to fight, he also uses it to go unnoticed while he naps in the dark corners.

The majority of people assume that she is max 14 years old due to her petite form and mischievous nature. However, when reaching Wano, she’s actually 18.

C’s outfit is modeled after a cow; she adores them as she finds them cute. She wears tiny horns on her head and a dotted over dress on top of her blue dress. Her cat form also keeps the horns on it.

Her fighting style includes using these horns to inflict damage. She also has learned how to use armament haki during her training.

She spent three months stuck in her cat form due to not knowing how to control it. She has managed to awaken her fruit powers, which doesn’t really help her much aside from giving her extra speed and durability.

During one of the early calls between C and R, they joked about her having the will of D. Later on she learned that she infact DOES have that secret name and she actually carries the will of Portgas D. Rouge. She also resembles Rouge by her looks and sometimes says things that especially got the attention of Garp as he’d last heard the woman herself say them.

C made up an island just to avoid suspicion, claiming that it sunk to the bottom of the ocean only to find out that the island did infact exist.

She also claimed that R and her are childhood friends before her family moved to the East Blue from the North Blue.

In Wano, she learns about the backstory of herself and is left speechless.

She’s actively trying to set Law and R up for her own amusement, even going as far as claiming that he suffers from chronic anxiety which can be cured by slow socialisation (to earn his trust) and cuddles, but the latter must be done by someone the red head respects. Law accepted this as a fact until his mind caught onto it about a week later.

Her favourite colours are purple and green, she often wears brown and blue.

The fake Strawhats had two sets of her; a feral kitten and a giant hulking man with cat ears. Upon seeing this, C immediately called out how they got her motif wrong.

C often takes selfies in the most inconvenient places like right in front of Katakuri, Oven and Daifuku, which she then sends over to R. She also likes to avoid fighting in favour of watching the plot unfold itself.

R

R ends up 10 years into the past, into the office of the Revolutionary Army where he was found by Ivankov and Dragon. He is also now a child. Until he turns 19, he doesn't have any memory problems.

Ivan looks for a cure for R's memory loss, but she doesn't have much time as she's supposed to infiltrate a prison. She quite literally drops him into the hands of Trafalgar Law, explains the situation and leaves without allowing him to protest.

Due to R's shyness, he spends the next half a year silent, making the crew think that he might be actually mute only to later on burst into a song in an attempt to soothe someone. The crew never realises this though as they're used to hearing weird sounds in the submarine.

R uses in total three names in this universe: Ren (Revolutionary Army), Eli (Heart Pirates) and Nao (C, later on the Strawhats). They joke that he has just very long name and those are parts of it.The joke later on turns into reality making R's name be Reneli Nao much to his embarrassment.

During Ivan’s search for a doctor who could cure him, R ended up accidentally eating a devil fruit. The fruit was Zoan type, Neko Neko Mi, Model: Black Jaguar. However for convenience, he refers to it as panther fruit as that way nobody can tell for sure if it was leopard, snow leopard, tiger, lion or a jaguar (Panther is the class name of each of these large cats).

R has two bounties, one as Ren and other as Eli, the latter being his "pet" bounty. Whenever the marines see him in his human form, they refer to him as revolutionary army member rather than as a pirate. Somehow they never put together the fact that Eli and Ren are the same entity.

His bounty as Eli is only around 100 beries due to the marines assuming that the black jaguar form is his real form, and thus believing that he’s a pet.

Before the timeskip, R uses black sunglasses to block out the light as he is very light sensitive, post timeskip he's seen using a cap.

During a call, C joked about him being the illegitimate son of Shanks, in Wano this is confirmed to be the case and the duo swear to never joke again.

He too claimed to be from an island which sunk, only for it to turn up on old maps.

R is an awakened Zoan user, which grands him higher speed and durability.

He also has the habit of switching into another language unconsciously when he curses or insults people. He most often calls them fools in Hebrew, which the rest of the crew assumes having been the native language of the island he’s from.

Law is the only one who knows what he is saying, which makes situations where someone assumes that they’ve earned his trust because he’s “giving them a nickname” even funnier.

He knows how to use both rapier and a katana, his old sword was a rapier which he called Shoshannah after his mother (this means lily or a rose), his current sword is named after his real life brother’s cat, Mito, which in Japanese means serene water while in Italian it can mean myth.

During Zou, the only reason why he got hurt was because of his fruit powers suddenly activated making him loose his balance.

He calls Ivankov “mom” on multiple occasions.

His denden mushi was a gift from Ivankov, however, he just can’t bring himself to decorate it claiming that he’s waiting for the moment he’ll be able to pinpoint just what would reflect him and his personality accessory wise.

His trademark colours are orange, blue and purple, which you can find from his hat and the scarf he wears around his waist to help him carry his katana.

R is a terrible liar which he tries to make up for by turning conversations overly philosophical. Most often he ends up accidentally blurting warnings to his captain and crew.

He often challenges his captain without even realising it by asking questions like “Are you sure about that?” or calling something the stupidest thing he’s ever heard right to his face.

He seems to be immune to feeling intimidated by people to the point where it’s thought that he simply doesn’t have any self preservation instinct. Despite of this, R is very careful and plans his moves to ridiculous detail, trying to take in any possible threats and any potential change in the environment.

Law has a theory that R is the reincarnation of Corazon because he seems to know things that only Corazon would know. This theory was debunked once he learned that R is only 3 years younger than he is.

Other

C and R meet one another in Sabaody, where they both start to regain their lost memories. While they're running from the marines, they quickly catch up and exchange numbers so they can keep in touch.

C and R call regularly, but have trouble when someone else picks up, they both are very shy after all. This leads to moments where C asks Usopp to ask whoever had picked up if Nao was available and vice versa.

Penguin and Shachi have a stash of photos from the time R was stuck as a jaguar cub (when they thought that he was a lot younger and that the devil fruit was just a black cat). They tend to show them to C out of spite towards R, who still doesn’t talk that much.

There’s a third person (let’s call them K), who’s sailing with Boa Hancock, C and K haven’t met one another in the OPverse, but R has made sure that the two also manage to talk by giving them each other’s denden numbers.

K likes to mess with R and Law by referring to them as brothers or “cat men”.

R reunited with K when his captain was taking care of Luffy. The latter found R’s situation hilarious.

The denden mushi of C has purple and green stripes and tiny horns, K’s radiates  G A Y  because of glitter. K’s denden also holds a tiny pride flag.

Stability - 3

Fanfiction: Stability Story Summary: It wasn’t because he was self-conscious or ashamed. No, it was because he was afraid. His greatest fear was being alone after all. Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, Nami, Ace, Sabo, Law Pairing: Eventual LawLu Rating: T Warnings: Swearing, AU/UA, canon-typical violence, angst A/N: OTLOh my god. This.... this is a fucking monster. 17 pages guys. 17 mother fucking pages. Here's the lawlu portion of this! (I still can't believe how long this is. Like wtf!)

.xxx. = Time/scene skip

.+++. = PoV change

Read on Ao3

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3

“S-Sabo?!”

Sabo looked at the young man sobbing in front of him. His brother. His brother.. He nodded.

And he got a face full of Luffy’s chest.

(To be honest, he was really glad not only for Luffy that Iva fixed him up right now.)

Sabo laughed and patted Luffy’s back.

“Thank you Luffy. For living. For helping Ace to live…”

Luffy nodded furiously.

“And I’m glad for you too. That you met Iva… does it feel better?”

More furious nodding. And a hilarious story of asking another Super Nova how to take a leak. The Super Nova who was apparently allied with him…

(And the one who had saved both of his brothers’ lives.)

.+++.

To be honest, Trafalgar Law had no idea just what he had gotten himself into…

It was just supposed to be an alliance not this… this… thing it had turned into.

First the idiot insists that they were nakama, then he fucking saves his life against his wishes, bonds with his crew, and now?

Now that mother fucker just kissed him!

“…Have you been drinking Mugiwara-ya?”

(Law remember the last time a foreign substance had influenced Luffy’s behaviour. Seriously. The idiot forgot how to take a fucking piss!)

Luffy was pouting at him. “No!”

Law only rolled his eyes. “Of course not,” he drolled out, “you’re completely in full control of all of your capacities.” The sarcasm was practically dripping from his voice. “Because it’s completely normal to want to kiss me.” He rolled his eyes again, pushing Luffy away when he tried to press closer. “Just like it’s completely normal to forget how to piss.” And since Luffy obviously wasn’t taking the hint, Law just decided to stand up, letting Luffy just fall unceremoniously off of him.

“But Toraoo~”

Law sighed at the whining and rubbed at the bridge of his nose. Not even he was free from some slight intoxication. He was nowhere near drunk, mind you, but still inebriated. Probably was why he was saying the things he was saying, in all honesty. “We’ll discuss this when we’re both sober.” He said with some irritation before walking away.

Seriously… just what had he gotten himself into?

.xxx.

Law had settled against Bepo as he mulled on what just happened.

Luffy had kissed him. Had just clambered onto his lap, purred out his nickname, leaning in a bit before just pulling Law down by the cheeks and pushed their lips together. It was sloppy, awkward, and just… well… shocking. Of all of the things that Law had ever expected Luffy to do, this was probably one of the last things on that list. If it even made the list that is. (Not to mention that list was quite long...)

And what if? What if Luffy had truly wanted to do that? Somewhere inside of him. Alcohol was something that tended to loosen up any inhibitions people had. Certainly, yes, it made people do things that were uncharacteristic of them, even made them do things that they would never think of doing otherwise…

But, what if?

Law groaned.

Sure, the Strawhat was pleasant enough, even if irksome to no end. Sure, Law had gotten used to his presence, but mostly because he had to. Sure, they got along fine enough, even though some days Law regretted pulling that idiot and his brother out of the war.

But this?

Gods…

Whatever… Luffy acted all sorts of odd when inebriated by drugs – medically or otherwise. That, at least, he consoled himself with.

.xxx.

“Torao~”

To say he wanted to wake up with Luffy’s face far too close for comfort was a lie in of itself. Law groaned, pushing Luffy’s face away, and sat up.

“Morning, Mugiwara-ya.”

Well, at the very least, he didn’t have a hangover.

Luffy was laughing and on his heels as they walked, spewing out random things that, quite frankly, Law couldn’t give a damn about.

“Can this wait until I get my daily dosage of caffeine Mugi-”

(Apparently the mention of any sort of drug had prompted memories of other drugs to come flooding back, namely, alcohol. Even if that mention was a self-deprecating attempt at a joke.)

…Fuck, that really happened, didn’t it?

Never was Law so grateful to have a mug shoved in his hands. (He knew, with the expression he was currently wearing, he looked worse than he actually was. Because it wasn’t dehydration that paled him, no, it was mortification.) It also seemed that the chef had sufficiently distracted a rambunctious captain with food.

God. That’s what Sanji was right now. Gifting Law with everything he wanted before he even realised it.

He was already starting to feel better after his first cup, but he held it up for another. Not only would it keep Luffy at bay for awhile longer, Law felt that he was going to need it for today.

If Luffy asked him about last night, just what was he supposed to say? Fuck…

(Fuck indeed.)

No thank you, peanut gallery. He didn’t need his sardonic humour right now. Couldn’t it take a skip day or something?

Law sighed and stared into the black depths of his coffee.

Luffy, huh?

Well, the usual first two excuses he used couldn’t apply to the Strawhat, Law knew that much. As begrudgingly as he was to admit it… Luffy was his friend. And, foremost, a man he trusted. This was a man he was willing to die together with.

But that didn’t necessarily mean…

Certainly, yes, Mugiwara no Luffy was far from unattractive. Powerful and caring to boot. And it wasn’t as if Law only played for one team…

But this was Mugiwara no Luffy. The man who refused Boa Hancock of all people. The supposed most sought after woman in the world.

And this was him. Trafalgar Law. Whose personality and traits, in his own opinion, had to be the most unappealing in the world. Insomnia. Paranoia. Anxiety. An over-seasoned dosage of PTSD and abandonment issues. His humour bordered on insanity and insulting – both to himself and others. And, don’t forget that healthy dusting of suicidal, self-destructive tendencies. All in all, such a perfect and appealing candidate for a partner, wouldn’t you agree?

(Yeah, Luffy had to be intoxicated last night to even begin to think kissing him was a remotely good idea…)

Luffy wasn’t the problem here, it was him. He had never entertained the ideas of a relationship for too long. And, always, Law made a point to find a problem in them as well. Mostly to convince himself to not even see if they were willing to take on his shit load of problems.

He’d find something in Luffy. Eventually.

.xxx.

Despite all of his efforts, however, Trafalgar Law could not find a single, game changing fault in Mugiwara no Luffy. Anything and everything that he could find in the other Super Nova was either something he had already become accustomed to, or something so minor that it, in all realities, wouldn't have bothered him.

Weeks. It had been weeks since the incident, and, thankfully, Luffy had not brought it up.

But, by now, Law almost wanted the idiot to approach him and bring up the topic. There were things that Law wanted to know, things that Law had wanted to ask Luffy. And maybe, just maybe with answers to those questions, he could finally find something in Luffy that would turn him away.

Quite honestly, it was driving him insane. He had lost sleep on the issue. Had become paranoid and skittish around Luffy. And his anxiety was through the roof because, because...

He was afraid he wouldn't find anything.

All of this over a fucking hypothetical scenario that, in all probability, wasn't even going to happen.

Because if Luffy was going to ask, well he would have already done so by now. It's not like Luffy to put something that he wanted to do off for such a long period of time after all.

(Why? Why did that bastard kiss him damn it!)

.xxx.

In the end, it was him that caved. After the god-knows-what-numbered timed of losing sleep over some stupid drunken kiss Law decided to drag the other captain from his bunk.

"We need to talk."

(One of the bad side effects of brewing on this for as long as he did was the idea was starting to become appealing. This. This was why he never thought on these scenarios for so long. That's why he always tried to convince himself that the person in question wasn't suitable for him. He didn't do relationships. Even if there was that small sliver inside of him that craved it and wondered just what it would be like.)

...And he'd be damned. Fucking Monkey D. Luffy looked adorable right now, with a yawn on his lips, a fist rubbing sleepily at his eye and...

"Torao?"

Law sighed, before the most pathetic line of his life slipped out of his lips.

"Well, we're both sober..."

And the look on Luffy's face...

Well, he looked like a dying machine that was slowly being brought back to life. The way that the light slowly flickered to life on his face... the realisation...

"We can talk about it now?"

(...Did that idiot...)

...Never mind, he didn't want to know... Nor was he going to ask.

"...Yeah." He admitted awkwardly, glancing off to the side.

"Yay!" And the light that was slowly being ignited was now a fire. "I mean, I didn't know what you meant by sober and… I wasn't drinking and..."

"Wait a minute!" Law interjected - and now that he actually thought about it, wasn't Luffy a horrendous liar? "You didn't..." Oh God... Oh God... Shit. Fuck. This wasn't good. No. This wasn't what he had been anticipating at all and - Fuck!

"You - you just..."

His head was spinning and going a mile a minute and...

"I just what Torao?"

And god damn Mugiwara no Luffy was acting as if this was not a big fucking deal.

That somebody had actually...

"That I just kissed you?"

"Give me a moment..."

(He was not panicking. He was not panicking. Fuck. He was panicking. Over a fucking kiss that wasn't actually a drunken kiss and that somebody had actually...)

"...Yeah, I kissed you because I like you, duh. I mean, why wouldn't I..."

(See? Perfect partner material right here. Number one. VIP. Soon he'd have everybody flaunting themselves at his feet and--)

"...Seriously, why did you think I was drinking?" There was a pause in Luffy's babbling that Law wasn't really paying too much attention to right now. "Torao? Torao?"

"I said give me a moment Mugiwara-ya!"

Law had all but yelled and just squatted down, holding his head, closing his eyes.

He didn't get it. He didn't understand any of it. Why? How?

"...Torao?"

(See? Look. Luffy was worried about him now. Lovely, just lovely.)

Law inhaled deeply a few times, trying to calm himself enough not to lash out again. Trying to calm the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

"...Why?"

That word was croaked out - a barest whisper.

He felt Luffy's gaze on him.

"...How?" Law felt his body trembling again. "How can you like me?"

His stomach felt like lead. His head hurt. His heart racing. How can you..." And his lips wouldn't stop moving. Rambling, he was rambling. Listing off all of the god damned things that were wrong with him and...

"...full of problems and paranoid and everybody always leaves me anyway and-"

"Torao!"

At the mention of his name Law felt himself jolt. It wasn't that the voice was laced with Haki, but it held power regardless.

"You're not any of that - and even if you were I don't care. You're Torao, the man that I care for."

Law didn't know what to call the look in Luffy's eyes right now. It wasn't love, it wasn't empathy (he knew that from Cora-san) and it wasn't even forgiveness. But, whatever it was, it drew him in, and they remained there in silence for a few moments. Eventually, Law felt control returning to him.

"Feeling better Torao?"

Despite everything, Luffy smiled at him.

"...Yeah."

.xxx.

It wasn't long after that conversation that Law had agreed to try. To try a relationship.

He didn't make any promises - and Luffy seemed fine with that.

He couldn't find any reasons to decline Luffy after all.

(And the idea was appealing in its own sense. That he appreciated Luffy's company, perhaps more than just an ally or friend should. In different ways...)

The secrecy lasted a month.

(To be honest, really, Law was surprised Luffy had lasted that long. Given the guy's tendency with secrets and all...)

But, at least by then Law knew that, yes, this was something that he wanted.

.xxx.

Thankfully, they lasted a bit longer until Luffy's brothers found out.

Apparently Ace and Sabo had bumped into one another and had decided to jointly come to visit their little brother.

When the two brothers had boarded the ship, Law had been greeted warmly before they quickly bombarded Luffy with updates about his life. Inquiring about certain events that had happened in the news and such.

In the meanwhile, Law had just decided to wander off while Luffy caught up with his brothers.

His peace didn't last all too long however.

"What?!"

Both of the brothers had said that simultaneously. He didn't quite like the sounds of that. And low and behold, he had both of them at his side.

It was his turn to be bombarded with questions.

All about the topic of their relationship. Great. And a few about his sexuality and preferences and past history...

Needless to say, Law avoided answering the more personal questions.

"Relax Torao~ They just want to know more about you~" Luffy sang once he catapulted himself over, and hugged him.

"What we do by ourselves is of no business to anybody but us Luffy-ya."

(He received some scandalous sounds from the brothers.)

Law suppressed a blush. "Sh-Shut up! whatever it is that we do or do not do is none of your business!"

They were all laughing at him.

(He was just going to ignore the suggestions and scenarios that the brothers were laying out for him. Yup.)

Finally, it seemed that the teasing was mostly done. (For now, oh Law knew he wasn't escaping that easily.)

"So, I guess I should tell Dragon not to expect being a grandfather anytime soon~" He said with a teasing wink.

Ace had rolled his eyes. "They could always adopt, ya know Sabo. Just pick up some stray child in a war ravaged zone - you never know."

Law just ignored the two brothers in favour of looking down at Luffy who had tangled up on top of him.

"Shishishi." He was laughing.

Yeah, that's what really mattered here.

Luffy.

.xxx.

...Those god damned brothers of his...

If they hadn't gone and opened their mouths and...

"Torao? Did you ever want to have a kid?"

Damn those brothers for putting that idea in Luffy's head. Damn them.

"...This is because your brothers mentioned it, isn't it?" He sighed.

And Luffy only nodded enthusiastically.

Of course, Law went into the explanation that adopting a kid, really, would only be due to the scenario that Ace had given. Of course no orphanage would let pirates adopt children. Nor would they be able to pick up a child who was known by villagers, or other people. That the only children they would able to 'adopt' in a sense were those without homes or family or people to care for or remember them.

Most of which went over Luffy's head, but at least he understood that adopting a child wouldn't be as easy as it sounded.

But then Law went into the schematics about biological children, and then shit just... hit the fan.

"Statistically speaking, the chances of us being able to father a child together are nigh impossible. We're both guys after all." Law's voice was very matter-o-fact right now, as it tended to be when he was explaining. "Unless there's a devil fruit to change one's sex and keep their DNA intact..."

"Oh! Iva-san can do that! We could always just ask Sabo-"

"Well," Law paused, not at all expecting that response, "I suppose that would leave us with a few questions... First off, would we even want to have a child? Would I be able to even have a child considering my past? When would we do so, considering it would be a year of inactivity? And lastly, who would willing become female to carry the child to term?"

Luffy started acting... well... strange after that.

Law hadn't noticed it, however. No, not until Luffy had lashed out at him.

They had been exploring the questions - all hypothetical of course - and when they had gotten to the last comment, and Law had been listing out the pros and cons of Luffy carrying the child (after his own study of himself) Luffy had just...

Flipped.

Protesting about how he would never even consider carrying the child. That he was a guy and would never change into a girl.

Then went off on some incoherent rant that not even Law understood - but it seemed that Luffy had taken great offense to him even suggesting Luffy turning into a woman. That he was faulting him for something.

He let Nami take over from there.

And now? Well he was wandering the Sunny, just avoiding Luffy. And right now he had ended up in the men's quarters.

It was quiet down here. Empty too.

To be honest, Law never spent much time down here. He mostly slept in the infirmary or on the deck when he was aboard the Strawhats' ship. Occasionally Luffy would drag him to his bunk, if he wanted to sleep next to him.

(That being said, mostly when he was visiting nowadays, he would have his own submarine nearby and chose to sleep in his own bed.)

He sighed before sitting down on some furniture.

He glanced around, making a face at the apparent lack of tidiness of the room. There were clothes everywhere.

...Well not everywhere but more so than he would have liked.

(And were those Franky's speedos hanging off a nail in the wall? He fucking hoped they were clean. He wasn't going near them in any case...)

Law sighed and shook his head before leaning back, his head falling behind the couch he was seated on.

He stared at the room, which was now upside down.

There were a few other things he noticed. One of which was a dresser off to the corner. And a half-walled off area right beside it.

The dresser had accumulated a lot of dust. As if it hadn't been used in months. Years maybe.

Why was that, he wondered?

(He was curious, yes. Why there was an area that, in all appearances, looked like a changing room with a dresser nearby? And if that dresser was unused, well maybe he could use it as a storage for some of his clothes? He was on the ship often enough...)

Curiosity got the better of him, and he wandered over there.

When he was about to touch the dresser, he thought the better of it and just used his scan instead.

...Huh, so there were clothes in there.

But what were they doing unused?

As he focused in a bit more at the clothes, he began to recognise the style.

Luffy's?

He found himself glancing back to the dresser he had often seen Luffy rush to.

What the hell?

By now, Law knew that probably - probably he should just dismiss this. It probably was nothing. And Luffy tended to wear a lot of the same clothes over anyway... so it was probably just extra clothes that his ally never got to wearing yet.

(But the half wall was bothering him now. Why was Luffy's clothes over here? By the design, the thing looked to be a sort of changing room. Luffy was always flaunting his chest and he doubted the boy had any shame when it came to other body parts and strangers...)

Really. He should just walk away and go read a book or some shit. Luffy was already mad enough at him as it were. For god knows what reason. He didn't need to worsen it.

He was staring at the bubble his Scan had revealed.

Plenty of jean shorts. Hell, even a few boxers... and a plethora of shirts...

Bandages? And - wait a minute, that isn't a...

"Shambles."

Law was staring at the garment in question in his hands.

If he was honest in his opinion - really - this looked like, well...

A bra. The kind that women wore if they were smart about regular physical activity. (And the ones that were, quite frankly, a bitch to get off. At least, in his experience.)

But, no. The fabric under his hands didn't have much give. And with a brief tug, he confirmed his suspicions that, yes, it hardly had any stretch at all. Enough to fit over the head, be still be comfortable but...

It would do a whole lot of compressing.

... Was that why there were no button up shirts in Luffy's wardrobe? And those bandages...

Law groaned and just threw the... binder behind himself (with a quick, last minute correction to shamble it back into the dresser) before slumping onto the couch.

He was such a fucking idiot.

.+++.

"Luffy, Luffy. Calm down. He didn't know."

Luffy sighed and hugged his legs. He knew it wasn't fair to lash out at Torao like that. Torao didn't know. Of course he didn't.

Sure, they met before Iva fixed him up - but unless somebody saw him without a shirt on, they never suspected...

Well, maybe Torao could have - he was a doctor after all...

But by the time Torao had to really fix him up... well...

Apparently that was more than enough for Law to not suspect.

(Not to mention...)

Luffy sighed, frustrated. He needed to find Torao and apologise to him. Torao didn't know. He didn't mean anything by it. He just thought Luffy was normal like everybody else, and that's why he said those things. Torao didn't know and Luffy couldn't fault him for that.

Soon he found Torao, who was sitting by the tree like he always did.

He felt bad...

But Luffy swallowed and took a few steps forward.

"Torao!"

...The look in those yellow eyes hurt. They hurt a lot. He looked sad and angry and...

"I'm sorry Luffy-ya."

"I - no - it's okay Torao! It's my fault! I shouldn't have-"

Why was Torao apologising?

"I fucked up."

"...Torao?" What was Torao saying? He didn't know... he shouldn't...

"I was stupid. So fucking stupid!"

"Torao!"

(This time, his yelling did nothing…)

"I can't believe..."

Torao was holding his head again. Like before. Like when they talked about the kiss.

"Torao!" Damn it! What was he supposed to do here?! He grabbed the other captain's shoulders tightly, shaking him a little. "Torao!"

"I'm sorry - I - I can't... I didn't know... Fuck..."

Luffy froze at that.

...What... what did he mean by that?

"I'm such a fucking idiot... I just thought that you were..."

(Fear. Fear. That's what was lumping up in his throat right now. His arms trembled. His entire body did. No... No... It was like when he argued with Nami's doctor... when Nami came into the room... His arms went limp, he took a step back…)

"...If only I had know... I would have never..."

(The next thing he heard was the sound of flesh hitting flesh.)

.+++.

"You would have never what Law?"

Law had looked up at the woman who had smacked him: her hands now balled up and on her hips - but ready to attack him again. Her expression was angry.

(He could still hear the whispers though, in the back of his mind: God, how could he have been so stupid! How! He fucked up. Royally fucked up. Royally screwed up. Big time. Stupid. Insensitive. An asshole. That's what he was.)

And he glanced over to Luffy - only feeling that guilt hit him even more. Scared. Afraid… That's how Luffy was looking at him right now.

He had really fucked up big time, hadn't he?

"Well?"

...Nami had asked him a question, hadn't she?

(God, it was hard to concentrate...)

Law avoided her gaze, and Luffy's. "I would have never said what I said." He found himself biting his lip, trying to let the pain distract him from the deafening chaos inside of his mind. To let it ground him to the here and now. Nami's slap had knocked him back to his senses, and was he ever grateful for that. "It was insensitive... I'm sorry Luffy... I'm sorry that I suggested..."

(He reached his hand across his body and grabbed his elbow, fingers digging into the flesh there.)

"I fucked up and made you uncomfortable and angry and it wasn't right for me to do that and-"

"Y-You're not angry?"

Law looked up immediately at the tone of Luffy's voice. Why? Why was it so terrified and sad and pleading and -- oh gods he fucked up again didn't he?

(What did he do this time?)

He dug his nails in deeper. Luffy. He had to answer Luffy.

"No." He shook his head. "At least, not at you. The only person I'm angry at is myself. I was such a damn idiot and apparently I just fucked up again and don't know just how or why or-"

Nami slapped him again.

...That woman had a really fucking strong hand.

"Well, at least that shuts you up."

He felt Luffy prying his hand away from his arm.

"Y-You're okay with... with this?" Luffy squeezed his hand, gently but desperately.

...Wait. Wait. What?!

Law just stared at Luffy in astonishment. "I- of course I am Luffy-ya!" To emphasise the point he took his other hand to clasp Luffy's. Why did Luffy even think...?

"But I'm not-"

...Ah. Fuck. Law sighed and placed his forehead on top of Luffy's head.

"I couldn't give a damn about that Luffy-ya."

"B-But what If Iva couldn't-"

But Law could already guess what Luffy was getting at. "Then I would. Devil fruits are not the only way to fix that problem. Sure, it might not be as effective, but it still does a damn good job. Of course... only if you wanted me to."

Luffy moved and grabbed Law's face with his free hand so that their gazes matched. "...And what if I didn't want you to? What if I turn back or what if-"

Law leaned in and lightly kissed Luffy on the lips to shut him up for a moment, since his hands were otherwise preoccupied. "It wouldn't matter. We would do what you wanted. It's not like female bodies aren't appealing to me either."

(Law vaguely could hear Nami scoffing something about sappy or too much information before she stormed off in her heels.)

"...And if I want kids?"

Law chuckled softly. "If I agree, I suppose I'd have to carry them, wouldn't I?"

Luffy pulled him down for a kiss.

When they parted, Luffy was laughing.

"...Oh, Torao... how did you find out anyway... since I'm a guy now..."

Law groaned and placed his head in his hands.

...Ah well, it was bound to come out one day..

[nakunakunomi]

Hewwo Hazel uwu 🔫😀👾😭😜😳⏰😏🎆💓?

Hewwo Bas! The UwU is strong today  o(>ω<)o Thank you for your questions! 

🔫 - Fave canon arc? 

Thriller Bark. It made me laugh SO HARD. One piece is one of the few anime that genuinely makes me laugh out loud, usually im more of a “hmpft” blowing air out of my nose laught kinda gal, but one piece gave me a lot of joy and laughter, and mostly during thriller bark. Besides that, the fights and the general plot thickening and things coming together, and Zoro’s sacrifice all made this one of my top favorite archs! The pacing was very good as well, compared to, for example, Dressrosa. 

😀 - Most favorite Straw Hat?

aaaaaa don’t make me choose  This is very hard! The initial thought was Zoro because well it’s Zoro and most of his lines never fail to make me laugh. Robin is the one I admire most cause it’s the kind of lady idk if I wanna be her or be with her yknow? And Chopper also popped up because well.. he’s the absolute most adorable bean and I love him and his cuteness. 

I’m gonna conclude a tie between Zoro and Robin, and Chopper can be on their shoulders being adorable?   (´･ᴗ･ ` )

👾 - Fave villain?

Perona as far as she was an actual villain, her negative spooks are the best attack ever and no one can tell me otherwise. 

In terms of bigger antagonists, probably the Charlotte family? I’m counting them as one, just for now, since they are all super interesting and I like seeing them on screen more than ceasar or moria or doffy and 100000x more than friggin Blackbeard (Imagine me using the ‘dinkleberg voice’ whenever I say blackbeard).  Doffy is a good villain. But he makes me too mad so he only gets a flaminglemention and not the top spot ha. 

😭 - Saddest scene?

Just like one piece is the series that made me laugh he most, it’s also the one that made me cry the most. Almost embarrassingly much. I ugly sobbed for a few hours straight around Ace’s death. I was spoiled, I knew it was gonna happen, but I did not know how exactly, so ehm from impel down on, every scene they showed him I teared up at least. (oops).  BUT there was one other scene that made me cry a lot that I have to mention because I did not expect to cry for that moment. I knew about the time skip, I knew about the training, I knew they were gonna take some time off to get stronger. BUT I did not know how and when and the circumstances. The moment Kuma separated them, the agony and the helplessness. My heart. I could not take it. That was too sad. 

Honorable mentions for the Bellemere scene very early on and saying goodbye to merry. Just too many heartbreaking moments but I feel that’s what makes the series so nice, you need to get hurt sometimes in order to get more attached to characters. 

😜 - Funniest character?

Ehm. In terms of delivering hilarious one-liners and making me laugh while not actually being funny on purpose: Zoro. The dumb is too much and is hilarious. He says funny things while not being funny and there’s just too many peak comedy moments in him getting lost or ‘wanting to get made into a wax statue in this pose”. 

Luffy gets a mention in situational humor too because that dumbassery is hilarious as well. 

Other than that. Probably a tie between Usopp and Franky. It’s just so stupid, but the sheer simpleness of most of the humor makes it so easy to digest and look at! 

😳 - Any crushes?

Any? Many! ehm, to not make this answer a couple thousand words long, quickfire! Ace, he has the charisma, the feralness, the politeness and the freckles.  Shanks, he’s just the sweetest, sexiest mystery man who knows what his priorities are.  Sabo, all the feralness, less of the politeness, all of the cuteness. His smile can revive puppies.  Zoro: the Dumbassery, the muscles, the brutal honesty and that soff soff mossy hair.  Kid: again, the dumbassery, the rudeness while still caring for his bunch of misfits. I love me a good tulip.  Robin: The beauty, the grace, the humor, the fashion, the intellect. Again, dk if i want to be her or be with her.  Vivi: The courage, the love, the sweetness amongst the badassery, step on me princess.  Honorable mentions for Killer, A bunch of people showing up in Wano that I’ve only seen spoilers pop up for. And writing some character has had me reconsidering all the crushes all together. In conclusion: WHY IS EVERYONE IN ONE PIECE SO ATTRACTIVE??? safe for you Blackbeard honey, you could fall off a cliff and I’d applaud. 

⏰ - How long have you been into One Piece? 

Not that long at all. When I was 14? ish I started my anime journey. I watched 15-20? episodes of One Piece and hated it. Around that time one piece was somewhere in between 500-600 eps and I could not imagine ever catching up to that, especially since my strict parents limited my computer use to 3h a week. 

Then a friend really got into it I think about 5? years ago and kept talking about it and how it was actually good. I was starting to do an effort to watch all the ‘big’ and ‘must-see’ anime and promised myself I’d watch One Piece, eventually. 

Then this year at the end of October 2019 I actually started watching it. I had grown up a lot, and could now appreciate the anime way more for what it was? I fell in love and binged the entire thing in more or less six months with some small breaks in between for work, school, books, and other anime. Highly considering re-downloading so I can rewatch my favorite parts soon. My biggest problem is that once I love something, I go ALL IN and I will love everything about it and obsess. And thus this Tumblr was created as the hiatus started and I wanted something One Piece to keep me distracted. I eventually want to collect the manga but I now don’t have the space for it in my tiny room. 

😏 - Favorite scene? 

Sabo and Luffy reuniting! The reveal, the tears, the hug, and the ridiculousness of Luffy with the beard and all, just made it perfect. Absolutely loved it.

OH and Luffy punching the celestial dragon. The absolute energy in that scene made me grin like an idiot yet gave me goosebumps. Punch those slave-owning bitches luffy, thank you! 

🎆 - Something you can’t wait for??!! 

ALL of what is to come in Wano. I’ve been catching spoilers here and there and i just cannot wait! There’s gonna be so much reveals and new characters and comebacks and all the things I did not know I need in my life. 

And I would like some more reveals on Shanks and his crew since we literally know next to nothing about them, besides the fact that even the admirals seemed to be at least wary of their powers and I just really need to know. (or not, since mystery adds to the charm). 

I can’t wait for the abolishment of the government and the death/defeat of blackbeard (assuming that will happen at some point, a girl can dream). 

💓 - Which character do you relate to the most?

SO HARD. Hardest question. Ehm... Ace and Usopp I think? I struggle with family a lot, but I have a chosen family that I wouldn’t trade for the world. I am hella insecure, but I try my best most of the time and I am extremely loyal, even though I have no particular talents, I try and help here and there and hopefully can make some people happy that way! 

If you read all the way through here, thank you for coming to my Ted talk! It was so long  („• ֊ •„) but it was also so much fun  (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ
