Kid: Why can't more people put me on the same level as Strawhat and Trafalgar?

Killer: The first step is to like yourself.

Kid: Of course I like myself! That's easy! What's not to like? I'm fuckin' great! People are just too stupid to see it, that's all! 😤

Killer: Low self-esteem is obviously not the problem.

Jackie: Thank you for taking the time out of your no doubt busy schedule to meet with me and let me, on behalf of World Economic Journal, congratulate you on your promotion to Fleet Admiral.

Akainu: Thank you. How long is this going to take? I’m rather busy.

Jackie: No time at all really! Just a few questions to properly introduce the world to the new face of the Marines! Before we get started do you mind if I set down a recording den den?

Akainu: Yes, it would. Why do you need to record me?

Jackie: Oh it’s just in case I miss anything in my note taking-

Akainu: Then don’t miss anything. Start the interview.

Jackie: …Are you planning on smoking throughout this interview Fleet Admiral?

Akainu: Is That A Problem?

Jackie: No, secondhand smoke has always been my preferred way to get lung cancer!

Akainu: ….

Jackie: Just a little joke Sir *ahem* Question #1 - What are your plans for the Marines given the current climate?

Akainu: To crush all pirates underfoot.

Jackie: *writing* crush..pirates..underfoot. Yes that makes sense, what else?

Akainu: What do you mean?

Jackie: What other things are you planning besides crushing pirates?

Akainu: *glaring* What else is there?

Jackie: You could prioritize the protection of citizens and islands since the Paramount war caused quite a spike in the pirate population! Or instruction the soldiers to provide basic self defence/medical care crash courses! Oh! How about focusing on providing humanitarian relief to isolated islands-

Akainu: You are..awfully chatty.

Jackie: Curse of the trade I’m afraid. Let’s continue. Question #2 - What do you believe is the biggest problem the Navy currently has?

Akainu: There’s isn’t one.

Jackie: This isn’t supposed to be a crack at you Fleet Admiral. It’s supposed to show how objective you can be. There is no such thing as a flawless organization.

Akainu: Hm. There is an issue that permeates the navy: Its members are too soft. They don’t have what it takes to uphold absolute justice.

Jackie: Alrighty then. Navy..corps..too..soft. Question #3 - Do you believe the wants of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

Akainu: Well who are the many and the few?

Jackie: …. *writing*

Akainu: What are you writing, I didn’t give my answer yet.

Jackie: *sharp inhale of breath* Yeah, you kinda already did. Last question - Do you have anything you'd want to say to the world as the new era approaches steadily?

Akainu: *still perturbed* I- Yes. The Great Pirate Era will come to an end under my watch. Pirates, revolutionaries, crooks and thieves alike will never again dare to challenge the heroes of this world. True Justice will prevail.

Jackie: *writing* I..really..hope..so.

Okay, so a thing I’ve talked a lot about with @krzdragon is mythical zoan devil fruits and how they present before awakening into their full potential.

So, the running theory they and I had was that a mythical zoan fruit will initially present itself as a paramecia or a logia with an element and/or power that is tied to the mythical being’s lore. Ie, Nika’s lore supplies that he fights with such freedom and resilience that he seems as though he’s made of rubber.

I like to imagine each awakening is triggered by a meeting of criteria: a sufficient integration period between fruit and body, a mastery of the initially presented powers, and an act or occurrence in line with the being’s sphere of dominion.

Luffy has had his fruit since he was seven years old, meaning he’s had it for twelve years, give or take. That’s a little over a good decade for the Nika fruit to adjust to his body. Seemingly, this was enough time. Luffy fights using the presented paramecia abilities the fruit provided him. Slowly but surely, he pushes rubber to its very limits: stretching, heat, ballooning, kinetic energy… by the time he hits Gear 4 Snake-Man, It’s probably safe to say he has truly mastered what rubber has to offer.

The final piece of the puzzle, though…

Luffy- up until his battle with Kaido- has existed free of all laws and authority but two: life and death. By his heart stopping, he’s been freed of life. By his heart restarting, he’s been freed from death.

He has become the freest man in all the world.

The Nika fruit awakens.

All of this to say that I want to give Dragon the same treatment with the Amaru fruit. So, to do this, we have to first nail down some concrete lore for the being that would translate well for the One Piece world.

The Amaru is a chimeric beast, with the serpent, the puma, and the condor as the heart and soul of the beast. There are other creatures mixed in, depending on the source material, like a fish, a fox, a llama, or a taruka… it all varies. The most common fourth among them seems to be the llama.

Now the beast in question has a broad spectrum of power and symbolism, but most suiting for the paramecia/logia presentation role would be the wind, earth, and water (specifically fresh water, specifically a paramecia presentation, as the sea rejects devil fruit users, and a water logia would immediately nullify themselves for being submerged).

Dragon presented as a wind paramecia. I say a paramecia because there is no substance to the wind. The wind is an interplay of air and motion, rather than an element in and of itself. As a paramecia presenter, Dragon can coax the wind and the weather to his whims, but not create it on his own. In order to do what he does, there must be something already existing. He can’t just form a tornado out of a clear, sunny day. He needs a storm first. And a storms needs a certain amount of atmospheric instability and humidity to form. Lots and lots of factors to it.

He ate the fruit when he was three, and for the longest time, he and his family and the Marines were totally unaware of his status as a mythical zoan. All they knew is that he could sweet-talk the wind into filling or emptying from a ship’s sails. Useful. He could use the stirring of the air from melee attacks into a pretty nasty force, too.

He spent… let’s say a little over twenty years thinking he was a paramecia, pushing the limits on what he could do with it all the while.

The act that triggered his awakening was a choice, and the actions that followed it.

Follow his orders and escort a tribute ship full of slaves to the Red Line, or defy his orders and save a few dozen innocent lives.

He chose the latter, and he shouldered the consequences of his actions like Atlas himself.

Sakazuki can tell you right now that the man is, and always will be, a snake. And if one looks at the tattoos he sports very closely while he talks, you can see the swirls and sakura petals hide lichtenberg figures and talon gouges.

Hawkin’s seems like a really cool character, but I can’t ever take him seriously.

He’s gonna lay out a tarot spread and read it off to you just to make cooking your ass in an argument as mentally exhausting and emotionally devastating as humanly possible, and he LOOKS like it.

S U P E R N A T U R A L T R I O / Version 2

Being descendants from Minks doesn’t really effect the Monkey D’s too strongly. Sure there’s full moons, the teeth and feet situation, oh and how they flirt. It’s not even a conscious thought but the ways of their ancestors courting is just innately there.

For Garp, being the gorilla man he is, it meant waiting. Silverback gorillas mating begins by the female approaching after all and Urpi wasn’t the most receptive to much of anyone back then anyway. His instincts told him to reel back and wait to approached. (Admittedly this is not cohesive with bird mating rituals but we're gonna let that slide). It didn’t stop him from being his usual boisterous self but in terms of romance he always let her make the move. The only real exception to this was his proposal.

Dragon on the other hand is a Mandrill and Mandrills have harems are very protective during mating season, often guarding their mate at all times. For Dragon himself this is probably half out of the mating instinct and half from worry because Crocodile is in dire need of someone in his corner when they first meet. Also for the dominant alphas (which we're gonna say Dragon is obvs) they get larger testicles, redder faces and butts, and fatter! Do with this information what you will 😉

Nile Crocodile mating usually goes with the male selecting a mate for courtship and..stalking them (Croco wouldn’t call what he’s doing stalking of course..it’s just surveillance! Practical and logical surveillance! He’s definitely not tryna catch a peek at Dragon's ‘tail’). If the mate accepts they get to rub jaws!! Which is adorable but could be mildly uncomfortable if they both got stubble or smth but who cares.

I refuse to adopt the “feet situation” into the headcanon because I mentally and emotionally cannot survive that, but anyway.

Garp’s habits are pretty spot on. He’s a big boisterous boy, but when it comes to romance, he’s gonna be open for that first move. You might have to tell him you’re making that move beforehand, though. He can be a little oblivious sometimes. He’ll also tell his partner that he’s open to it, too.

He’s extremely blunt, but why waste time better spent getting to know each other?

As for Dragon…

Dragon courts more like a vulture, thanks to the zoan fuckery. Only one mate at one time, who he remains faithful to until death parts them (as was the case with Olvia). He wants to spread his wings wide, show off their span… circle around them almost like a dance. He gets playful, too. He would do some smooth-talking, but outside of inspiring people to action, he’s clumsy with it. A damn shame, what with that deep, gravelly voice of his.

As for the whole breeding season face markings thing… they do not affect him below the belt. If that were the case, it wouldn’t be his wings he got bullied (and attacked) over back in the Marines… Most of the genetics he got were the face stuff, the teeth, and a sort of ruff along his spine that ends around mid-back.

Crocodile adores the face markings. Crocodile is also the one doing the smooth-talking, those rumbly thalattosuchid growls seeping into every word. Lots of lingering touches along Dragon’s back. Gets him all cute and flustered.

To protect you. (A doodle)

A while ago, I saw a post of Corazon and Law as Simon and Marceline from adventure time, and I'm going insane. I can't find the op that mentioned it, but when I find it I would post their username here.

The implications are making me insane. Also

Doflamingo definitly would take the place of Betty, not in the weird incestuous way, but in like "I want to save my brother so he becomes himself again" but also completely losing himself in the process.

Concept: Bartolomeo wakes on a shore and looks up to see… pink. Pink everywhere.

And some fuck-off huge guy in a green cloak. He can’t see much beneath the hood aside from some sick-ass septum rings.

Barto was always pretty sure he wasn't going to Heaven. The last time he checked, gang warfare and piracy weren't exactly the things that got you brownies points with whoever the guy or gal or cosmic fish-headed thing with a pencil that Granny swore existed was up there. But looking at all these trees covered in bright Pepto Bismol pink blossoms with the smell of peaches and roses wafting through the air, he actually thinks he might have reached it.

Was it the universe's way of rewarding him for his final act of sacrifice for Luffy-senpai's honor? Wait a minute... that guy in a green hood glaring down at him. He's seen him before. All over the papers before he set out from Logue Town.

The Revolutionary Monkey D. Dragon

Monkey D. Dragon?! As in "Luffy-senpai's pops" Monkey D. Dragon??? He actually gets to meet the man who made the best pirate in the whole world?? Oh he has so many questions! So many things for him to sign, he-... oh wait. No he doesn't.

All his collectibles were on the Going Luffy Senpai. If she's not here, than her scorched hull has to be at the bottom of the sea right now. She's gone.

But wait, if Dragon is here among these heavenly blossoms then that can only mean....

Oh by the seas, Luffy-senpai's father is DEAD AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT!!! 😭😭😭 How can this world be so cruel to separate a father and son for all time?! Take him back down to Earth, universe! Barto understands if it's his time to go, he'll gladly watch Luffy-senpai become king of the pirates from the great beyond! But Dragon's a revolutionary, he still has so much work to do!

Send him back! Barto will vouch for him to the cosmic fish artist!
