can't stop thinking about that one post tumblr put on my dash that was like the main difference between luffy and teach is that teach is luffy without a dream..................... i mean it's cool to have our own understanding of the characters and all but how did you erase teach's introduction from your memory that thoroughly

#there's very few characters in op i dislike as much as i dislike teach I'll be honest #i don't like him i don't like his design i don't like his methods or anything he brought to the plot #but i DO find him very interesting ngl #his intro on jaya put him squarely in the same half of the characters with luffy #like luffy he is THE dreamer #at the same time though he's opposite to luffy on every single other thing which i find very interesting in itself #but not the reason why I'm interested in him #he spent decades on wb's ship keeping a low profile just to find the fruit he was looking for #AGES on that ship just for that fruit #and then he found it and his plan was put into motion immediately #that means that he had the whole thing planned out for decades that's low-key insane to me #what if someone else found the op before him? what if he died before he got the fruit?#what if the fruit got eaten by someone outrageously stronger than him and he just had to let it go? there's so much left to chance #but that's not even it the part that REALLY interests me isn't even that #it's how oda has been repeatedly saying that he's interested in history #he would be an archaeologist in a modern setting his past time is studying history #recently he kidnapped pudding you can't tell me it isn't so that he can read the poneglyphs #he wants to know about the void century for sure that's so at odds with the image he projects to me #why is he that interested? does he care about the one piece at all?#i get wanting to pit him against luffy by design but flattening his character is a disservice imho #the man has been devoting his whole life to his dream there's no doubt about that #the real question is what IS his dream
