#then she sees them interact with usopp and everything clicks

[beanghostprincess]

Usually, I am not the one to use cliché AUs because they're not my thing, but... Usopp tattoo artist and Sanji florist AU? Usopp is an artist who actually is very interested in botany too, and most of his designs are related to flowers. He loves flowers' language and the meaning behind every plant. And Sanji works as a florist because the store is affiliated with the Baratie for ingredients purposes and whenever Zeff gets mad at him he just sends him to work there. Most of the time he hates working there (although at least this way he can see a lot of pretty girls... Most of them have boyfriends, but, yeah) but one day Usopp shows up to get inspiration for new designs and maybe buy some plants, and Sanji just- He kind of, sort of, falls in love at first sight? The guy is so dramatic,, But apparently, he keeps asking Zeff to let him work at the flower shop always after his shifts or whenever he isn't working. His father doesn't know what's going on but tbh, as long as the kid works...

One Piece Shipping War - Round 4 Quarter Finals

Propaganda under the cut.

Propaganda for Franky x Robin:

Do I really need to explain?

The old married couple who's healthy, Enies Lobby (and all their appearances) are their propaganda really.

It’s all about the maturity!

Their dynamic is perfect and their pasts are so similar. I love the chemistry between them as well as their introduction that helped build the connection and shared history they already have.

they are THE t4t bi4bi ship | franky telling robin "existing is not a crime" immediately puts this at number one for me | they are opposites (bright and loud + quiet and goth) but also they're both so eccentric and silly <3 | THEY WEAR MATCHING OUTFITS

Mom and dad Straw Hat

They are STILL the Mom and the Dad of the Straw Hats, this is the one thing I don't care what Oda says <3 Also their interactions in Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark are amazing.

In my eyes, they are married. Some of my favorite character interactions in the manga/anime and in official art.

Oda had Franky call Robin his wife at least once

Your honor they’re married

I'M GOING TO PUT LINKS IN MY EXAMPLES (Mod note: I linked to the whole post, the propaganda was going to get too long otherwise. But I will copy this line:...) They immediatly clicked in Enies Lobby, Franky saved Robin with both words and actions ("Your existence is not a sin!"), and then she grabbed his balls.

The duality of two kids who were just trying to chase their dream and having circumstances outside their control (the government) take everything they love away from them, but one choosing solitude and the other adopting every other person in a bad circumstance??? I love them. Plus they literally had couple moments from the first interaction.

The ultimate t4t couple idk what else you need theyre iconic

A wholesome ship of a woman who feels the need to be constantly on edge trying to relax and a man who is a 110% himself from the moment we see him. the joy of frobin is the causal domesticity, in many color spreads and especially post timeskip we can see them casually enjoying the others company.

Remember when Franky was in Chopper's body in Punk Hazard and every time he spoke Robin was like "Franky. Stop talking. Do not talk while you're in Chopper's body."

idk like. he's obsessed with her. she's his weird Goth gf and he's her himbo. they have matching outfits. I love them.

Look. It's Franky and Robin. Literally the only two characters that make sense to ship on the Sunny. Their arcs are inextricably intertwined (water7/enies lobby). Also LOOK AT THEM interacting, both during their arcs, but also thriller bark, or post time skip. I love them. Also robin crushed frankys balls.

funny big robot man & analytical smart research lady power couple... silly x smart... himbo x researcher... augh... so good

They are the ship for taxpaying adults your honor I LOVE them they’re literally freak4freak and they share such a fucking powerful arc together (Water 7).

that moment she let him sleep on her lap in punk hazard was sooo cute <3 -- The matching thigh highs and bottoms in film z can NOT be understated. -- Strawhat mom and dad -- Let's not forget the way robin convinced franky to join ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) -- she also indirectly called his balls "treasure" so,,, -- the way their stories are so closely intertwined...they were both keys to destroy the world...the way they instantly connected over that...the soulmate-ism of it all...

they . them. girlboss and malewife. that's it.

She grabbed his balls. He totally liked it.

He's so silly and she loves it. She's so scary and he loves it. She grabbed his balls in public.

They will be endgame trust me. Franky doesn't treat any other girl like he treats Robin. There dynamic in Water 7 and Thriller Bark was and always will be one of the best in all of OP.

Propaganda for Usopp x Kaya:

When we first meet them and see them interact they just act so sweet. There's also a chapter in one of the novels where a guy interested in Kaya asks the old Usopp pirates "what kind of guy does she like?" And all 3 reply "Captain Usopp." Which I think is very cute!

He wanted her to laugh! Help her when she lost her parents because he knew exactly what it felt like! He helped her get better! And she was so heartbroken when it seemed like he was lying to her about Klahadore! Then she was more heartbroken when it turned out he'd told her the truth!

They will also be endgame trust me.

The ship that I would put money on becoming canon at the end of the series. It's very romantic how Usopp would come to see her every day, and how they are both still thinking of each other after so much time apart.

The thing about Arlong Park, is it hits all the boxes. It's after Mihawk, so hype is up. It guts you the most so far in the story, and it's that point where you're finally invested completely. The stakes are higher, because it's someone we've known. We already knew Nami would put herself at risk for the team, but this is when we see her at her best. Smart, tricky, and the heart of the crew.

In the series, when Nami is upset, we are upset. Her drive to help Vivi, her freak out on Skypeia, her emotions about water 7, and of course her reaction to marineford. Namis emotions are keyed to how we are supposed to react. So the Arlong park is the first time it's really pulled from us. It's engineered to make all our emotions go haywire. We see everything Nami is capable of at this point. How she uses trickery and a variety of masks, and how the crew sees past it...other than usopp, but he eventually picks it up.

Zoro doesn't buy her mask first, then when Luffy gets there, he doesn't listen to Namis mask for a second, and even Sanji who has had bare minimum interaction with her sees past it. Then we get the flashback and finally the pieces click into place. Emotions are high and we want Luffy to kill Arlong. It's the first enemy that we are emotionally tied up in to this degree. Then Nami cries, and we get one of the best scenes in the show. Luffy gives her his hat and we have the first of many showcases of the crew. When luffy punches Arlong the audience is hyped because of everything Arlong has done. Then the final scene of Luffy standing on the rubble after he demolishes Namis cage is the perfect ending. We get the explanation of what the show is. Luffy will demolish anyone who harms his friends or stands in the way of their dreams. He wants adventure with friends whose support he needs, and will pay them back with happiness. That, though simple grips us by the heart, while the expansive world, excellent writing, and complex characters grip us in the mind. This is the closest thing to the perfect long running show
