I'll never get over the implications of zoro sacrificing himself for luffy and the full scope of that.
Like
It's WILD.
Cause Luffy -- he's unconscious. He doesn't even know Kuma was there. And we'd never met Kuma till he shows up after luffy has already stretched himself to his absolute limit and passed out to recover in the belief he and everyone was safe.
Then we have Zoro, who flat out told Luffy, if he gets in the way of his dreams, he'll force Luffy to commit hara kiri, which according to Google, is ritual suicide by disembowelment with a sword. It was formerly practiced in Japan by samurai as an honorable alternative to disgrace or execution. That's the stipulation he joins the crew with.
And like, yeah, after Mihawk slices him and tells him to live, to get stronger, so that one day Zoro may surpass him, Zoro doesny really acknowledged that. Instead, his only response is to pick up Wado Ichimonji, the sword of his long dead friend and of which he made his inital vow of becoming the world's greatest swordsman, to carry on kunia's dream in her honor, Zoro then proceeds to swear to never lose again because it's be embarrassing for Luffy as Pirate King.

And this whole scene is wild as well, because mans was basically on deaths door and all he could think about was how it'd disgrace luffy is he lost again. Like???
But this scene, it makes it apparent that Zoro's dream isn't just for himself and Kunia, it's shared by Luffy now as well.
Which, we know Luffy. Every crew members dream is a dream Luffy takes on as personally as his own. He shoulders those dreams and the weight of making them a reality as seriously as his own dream of becoming king of the pirates. Their dreams are Luffy's now too.
This is different than that tho. Because while the dream was shouldered by Luffy, it was still for Zoro's own like... fullflillment? Idk how to convey it. It was still wholy Zoro's, it belonged to Zoro. But by saying it'd be embarrassing for Luffy, or a disappointment, for Zoro to lose again before he becomes world's greatest swordsman-- it's now theirs in a way it wasn't. He's not JUST becoming the world's greatest swordsman, he's becoming the world's greatest swordsman because it's what Luffy deserves. He's becoming the world's greatest swordsman because Luffy's gonna be King of the Pirates and for Zoro to give him anything less than the world's greatest swordsman is a disappointment.
But that's still -- becoming the world's greatest swordsman is still his... the most important thing to him. He just has another reason besides Kunia and himself now. But you still don't get the sense that like... I dont think the zoro who loses to mihawk would be willing to sacrifice himself on the way zoro on thriller bark did.
Because while Zoro has never been afraid of dying, that was because he'd rather die trying to become the world's greatest swordsman then to not have tried at all. It's a mindset he shares with Luffy. This all or nothing mentality, right?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Neither of them have ever been afraid of dying as long as it's in pursuit of their dream.
But in Thriller Bark, he's not dying in pursuit of his dream. When he offers his head in exchange for Luffy's, he's effectively saying goodbye at ever achieving it, actually.
And he knows that, and you can see it jn the way he lays his swords down, because what use does he have for them if he's dead?
Kuma even says it here, "You have such an ambition, and yet you're saying that you're willing to take his man's place?"
Tumblr media
He's not just offering his life in exchange for Luffy's, it's his dream he's exchanging too.
In doing this, it's made known that Luffy now holds more importance over Zoro's life, his swords, and his dreams.
Because this act, this sacrifice he makes, him dying in this way, isn't in service of dream and ambition, it's in service to his captain and king.
And idk how we're meant to be normal about this.

Shinkane Week 2024:
DAY TWO: Cyberpunk or Mystery
Tsunemori and Kogami in S1
(I could not sleep and I guess that means I cook. Once again thanks to free stock photos website pexel, so I did not have to draw the back ground. I honestly like this piece and composition enough to redraw all of my draft lines. For this piece, I am probably happiest about the color and lighting.)

Weird talents Cross Guild have:
Buggy can tie a bow with his tongue. Not a simple knot, no. A perfect, pretty bow. It makes for a good party trick. (He refrains from reminding people that he can detach his tongue.)
Crocodile can read upside down and backwards, in normal speed, without trouble.
Mihawk can crochet. I know that's not a weird hobby but he can also kill someone with a crochet hook, which has to count for something.

had the sudden urge to talk about this scene
Tumblr media
something something
"i will let you live, freedom in your hands, just help me animate and you're free to do whatever." offer of peace..
something something Second casually rejects
"no. i dont want to." offer of living peace.
something something about the way they don't care.
something something about the way they refuse.
something something about the way they deny the chance to have freedom.
something something about the way they are willing to risk their own life.
something something about the way they don't seem to want to live.
something something about the way they-
Tumblr media
-prioritize their friends' lives over their own life.
You are trapped, locked in a tight box with no way out. You are completely vulnerable, unarmed, and much, much smaller than the human who created you. You are about to be deleted, forever and all eternity. You don't want to be deleted, do you?
Suddenly, a text. Suddenly, an offer. Suddenly, a chance for freedom. Suddenly, a chance to live.
That would be good, wouldn't it? You are free. You are alive. Freedom is in your hands, and you can do whatever you want whenever you want, as long as you don't destroy anything and help the human with his animations. Wouldn't it be good? Wouldn't it be cool?
And still… You decline it.
You threw away the opportunity you had - the only and possibly last opportunity you had to be free, to live.
…All because you couldn't visualize a world where you wouldn't be with your friends. All because the mere thought of having to live with the freedom that was given to you so willingly hurts, because your friends didn't have that same opportunity. They were gone before they even had the chance.
What is there to live for? Your friends are gone. There is nothing else to live for.
...Something about the way Second didn't even hesitate- They were risking their own life because they didn't want to live without their friends; They were terrified to be deleted, but after c!Alan's offer, now they didn't even seem to care anymore ; Freedom? Give me my friends back then I will think about it.
I guess this is another thing that shows how much Second was willing to sacrifice just for their friends, even if it costs their own life
argshws thinking about this - Second cares about their friends more than they care about themselves - lowkey hurts awargshhwswsh gosh Sec

I am very fond of using the Abbot's change shape ability liberally in campaigns, giving him both various human and animal forms. I am very interested in hearing about any times you or your dm used this in campaign. Please tell me all about it~
