there is something funny about Ichiji remaining with the Straw Hats, after Ace leaves him in Luffy's care and sets off to chase Blackbeard (now with a clear conscience that his husband won't get hurt)

first of all, Sanji and Ichiji needed to clear the tension between them and it took a while to get enough privacy for them to talk. there were a lot of tears (angry tears in Sanji's case and remorseful tears for Ichiji) involved. there's too much trauma to be resolved, but they both acknowledge that they're victims, in one way or another. both of them cry tears of joy when they embrace each other for the first time as brothers.

Luffy is ridiculously clingy and happy about Ichiji, and Sanji by proxy, being officially part of his family. Ichiji has a calmer temper than Sanji and just takes it in stride. after a while, he gets used to Luffy wrapping long rubber arms around him and it's somehow comfortable, it makes him feel safe. he also yells Ichiji's pirate name every single hour. Ichiji just sits and watches his latest antics with amusement. he absolutely didn't try when Luffy pushed his straw hat on his head (yes, he did. zoro, nami, usopp and chopper are witnesses. he's never been happier.)

Zoro wasn't really suspicious of him, he just found the dynamic between the cook and his older brother...odd and tense, compared to Luffy and Ace's open, cheerful bond. Ichiji confided in him, during a nightwatch, that he hasn't been a good older brother to Sanji and he wishes to atone for past sins. since he hasn't given Zoro any reason to doubt his words, he just accepts it. doesn't stop Ichiji from teasing Zoro a little since he is NOT subtle whenever he stares at Sanji's behind.

Nami has tried to swindle money from Ichiji, that's how she welcomes him. it didn't work because Ichiji is always a step ahead and managed to swindle Nami. he gave the money back, cause it could be put to better use (aka food for the crew). otherwise, they get along just fine. he is the only man allowed in Nami's room because he is a married man and he's gay. (she practice braiding on his hair, so she can do make perfect braids on Vivi's hair).

Usopp finds another big brother figure in Ichiji, probably more than in Zoro or Sanji. Ichiji is actually the one who tells him that it's okay to be afraid in dangerous situations, because if there is no fear, then there's no courage because courage only exists in spite of fear. he doesn't always believe all Usopp's tall tales, but appreciates his storytelling. he's the first one Ichiji tells about his dream; to write the true chronicles of the next pirate king. they bond a lot over this, being artistic souls.

Chopper sees him as a cool big brother figure, but in the calm and collected way (Zoro is the strong, invincible one while Sanji is kind, nurturing one). someone who always has a plan...with at least two backup plans. Ichiji likes Chopper in turn, finding him cute and takes this as a chance to feel like an actual big brother.

and now, post-alabasta

Robin finds Ichiji just as interesting as Sanji. Ichiji's trust was very hard earned, since he was just as suspicious as Zoro. when Robin detects his North Blue accent and correctly assumes that he and Sanji hails from there, Ichiji successfully evades any further questioning by pointing out that he recognizes a South Blue accent in her voice. and that's just the end of the discussion. both of them has pasts they don't want to talk about and respects each other's boundaries. it's not until Enies Lobby that Robin understands how far Ichiji will go for the sake of friendship (he would murder and dismantle world government, if she asked)

Ichiji was hard to win for Franky. Ichiji was pissed af during Water 7. he was civil, but cold during Enies Lobby. after they left, Ichiji got accidently triggered when Franky talked about how "super" his overpowered abilities (like Sparking Red) was and nearly lashed out. he let it slip out that he was an unwilling subject for human experimentation. they did bury the hatchet after that, especially when Franky bawled about it and Ichiji just awkwardly patted his shoulder. he found it odd that he took it more personally than what he did.

Ichiji is a bit unphased about Brook, a living skeleton is hardly the oddest thing he's seen in the grand line. after Thriller Bark, Ichiji always thinks of Ace and Brook is a good confidante to speak to. he often accompany Brook whenever he plays violin or piano, both of them create a couple of new songs which Ichiji sings (he has a very beautiful song voice).

bonus:

Vivi did eventually figure out Ichiji's original identity (and by default, Sanji), but it's a secret kept between her and Ichiji. both of them understand what will happen if the secret gets out and it will put not only Ichiji's life in danger, but also Sanji's. not to mention that they have already met once before.

(context: Germa, as a recognized kingdom by WG, attended the same Reverie when child!Vivi encountered Wapol. only Ichiji was allowed to accompany Judge since he was his heir)

One Piece Crack Ship War - Round 1 Side C

LuNi edit made by @burnttoastlife

Propaganda under the cut.

Marco x Sabo: [submitter gave no propaganda]

LuNi: I think it would be funny if Luffy got with Niji just in general. Consider that Niji has lightning-based powers that may or may not be entirely from his raid suit, and Luffy is made of rubber, so they are already natural opposites. In the perspective of Niji being redeemed, I think Luffy is someone who could help him learn compassion in a very blunt and straightforward way. Additional note: I do believe Luffy is aromantic, but he can form a relationship with Niji as a treat. Plus, Luffy’s aromanticism and Niji’s iffiness on compassion and feelings make for a very interesting dynamic in my mind. Luffy has platonic love, Niji only knows romantic/sexual love, so I think it would be interesting to see how those two combine in one relationship. They’re pairing may not be exactly romantic, may not be exactly a QPR, but it sure is… something!

Luffy vs. Zoro at Whiskey Peak

Unpopular opinion maybe, but the Luffy vs. Zoro clash in Whiskey Peak made sense for their characters. You could even argue that it was bound to happen, given their personalities.

Luffy likes the people who feed him. In the the face of their suffering, no matter who's responsible, he's too angry to concern himself with the reasons behind it. Zoro, on the other hand, prefers to handle things independently without saying much about it, especially if it means his crew gets to enjoy themselves a little longer

So it's not really surprising that Luffy would be blindsided by finding their hosts cut up by his swordsman, and that this would send him flying into a fit of rage. If he's never paused to listen to context or backstories before now, why would he start here? And of course, Zoro is not the type to back down from a challenge. He will match Luffy's energy and respond in kind

"But if Luffy were a good captain, he would have stopped to listen to Zoro's side of the story." Vivi tells him he's a bad captain two arcs later, precisely because of this kind of behavior. It clearly leaves an impression on Luffy, and we see he's grown into a better leader by the time he reaches Amazon Lily. (Almost as if Oda set all this development up on purpose with Whiskey Peak. HMM...)

"But Luffy refused to believe that Nami had killed Usopp in Arlong Park." This argument is like comparing apples to oranges. Nami did not actually do the murder that Johnny and Yosaku claim they saw, nor is she capable of killing people in cold blood. Of course Luffy isn't going to believe Nami killed Usopp based on hearsay. But in Whiskey Peak, Zoro did cut those bounty hunters. Luffy sees the evidence for himself, and he knows the carnage Zoro is capable of inflicting once he puts his mind to it. There is no denying what happened. Nothing other than Zoro saying "someone else did this" (or Nami knocking the soul out of him) was going to stop Luffy from going ballistic

"Why would Luffy fight so hard to recruit Zoro into his crew, firmly believing that he wasn't a bad person, only to later attack him because he believed Zoro was capable of harming 'innocent' people?" Because the fight was never about whether their hosts were "innocent" or not, not really. Their fight was about what Zoro did (assaulting the ones who fed them), and how those actions made Luffy feel (mad as hell, because these people FED THEM) For Luffy, context did not actually matter at that moment in time because, for him, "they fed me" unequivocally means "they're my friend", full stop This is even shown again in Mocktown! Both when Luffy unquestioningly eats an apple from Doc Q, and when Bellamy buys Luffy a drink in Mocktown. In the first case, Luffy only lived because he was lucky. And in the second case, he assumes Bellamy is a good person despite all evidence to the contrary, only to have his face brutally smashed into the bartop by Bellamy. Luffy is shockingly bad at reading people who try to feed him.

Luffy has interpersonal conflicts with all the core members from East Blue at different times. The fight with Zoro is the only one instigated by Luffy. But surprisingly, their fight highlights their similarities instead of their differences. They still fight equally and work together against BW agents who try to interfere with their fight.

I think that's what Oda wanted to showcase with this scene.

In short, Luffy's initial anger stemmed from his protectiveness towards those who have fed him, while Zoro's actions were driven by his dedication to the crew and subsequent refusal to back down from Luffy's challenge. It was a clash resulting from miscommunication and misunderstanding, something that is not typically a problem for them — until it suddenly becomes one When all is said and done, they're both quick to forgive and forget. This, too, is fitting for both their characters. From that point onward, Zoro continues to demonstrate that Luffy's trust is not misplaced. And Luffy never, ever doubts Zoro again after this

I'm going to become king of the pirates. If I have to die fighting for it, then I die.
