Can we talk about how normal and incredibly human Luffy was in this scene?
His earth shattering grief didnt awaken any supernatural haki or abilities within him, instead it overwhelmed him, it was destroying him. The bleeding from his throat while his eyes lose focus and his body goes into shock - grief is ugly, loud, destructive and it tears you apart and leaves you vulnerable out in the open- thats what happening to him.
This was Luffy's, a 17 year old kid's moment of overwhelming realization that humans are powerless and weak on the face of death as his brother bled out in his arms while he (and world's most powerful pirate whitebeard) watched it helplessly. This was the biggest loss of his life as he understood that sometimes no matter how hard you try, things don't work out for you. This was when Luffy witnessed the consequence of the path he (and ace) had chosen, that a pirate life was actually much harder than just adventure and freedom and that there was a heavy price to pay, that death could take anyone anytime.
This wasnt just sadness, this was the end of the world for Luffy and he wasn't the same person after this moment.
Hope's been trying not to think about everything that happened with Pandora. For now, she's just enjoying the ranch like when she was a kid and trying to get her boyfriend? Sterling to put on the damn cowboy hat
Some Ralsei designs that I've made! The top left one is just my take on Ralsei's design, I do like the hat but I do like how Ralsei generally looks currently, combining his new and old design to create the same white fluffy goat but with the same unique ruffleness of the hair that his OG design had.
The second one is my take on the disguised Ralsei look, giving him a veil that covers his face, I probably shouldn't have given such a sinister look to it but I figured it'd be fun for the design, I'm still a fan of it.
The third one is an answer to the whole "Ralsei goth" sorta trend that went on for a while, I always that Ralsei would look a lot better in pastel goth and he'd love to wear it! So that's where this outfit came from.
The last one is just a cute lil treat, I like the overalls on him a lot and the pink sunhat with the bow suits him very nicely in my eyes...
