#Arabasta

[mistermistyyy]

Just been thinking about how much I love Robin's Straw Hat initiation. Some of the Straw Hats took an entire arc to join, meanwhile Robin's just like "Hey my boss tried to kill me and I sorta got nowhere else to go. Can I crash with you guys?" and Luffy just goes "Oh for sure, bro"

They really hit him with SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR asdgahshd

hello fellow crocomom enjoyers. i am both proud and ashamed of admitting that this theory might genuinely be true. ever since i saw this shocking scene between luffy and his family at thanksgiving. i have been convinced.

Can’t relate to the “Ace got a glow up after Arabasta” crowd. Taking away the skrunkliness of that wet dog of a man was devastating.

Do you really think that the older brother that Luffy’s stinky little self looked up to is in any way a clean-cut gent? Hell no. If anything he wasn’t skrunkly enough. Full send. This is a man who bathes weekly at most, does more face planting into his food than eating it, and wiped his face on a random lady’s dress.

An angel lost its wings.

When creating this AU, I thought: where was Buggy during Crocodile's attempt to seize power, and this is my version

Anyways, another MENA erasure from roles of characters that are middle eastern and one of the producers of season 2 is an active Zionist that signed the petition trying to revoke Bisan's (the Palestinian journalist recording the g*nocide in Gaza) nomination in the Emmy's. This is another reminder to cancel your Netflix subscription, and if you want to watch OPLA season 2, just pirate it. It's more in the One Piece spirit as well.

We all know that nami is our queen, DUH??

Just because luffy being the king of pirates and nami sitting on her beautiful throne doesn’t make them a couple or significant others man

The thing most people don’t understand is that Nami being our queen and luff being the king doesn’t make them “THE KING & HIS QUEEN”.

I love lu’s & nami’s relationship so much, believe me they have one of the sweetest relationships and they care about each other so much, they are family. I respect everyone’s ships and opinions but you can’t just break into someone’s posts/ brag and say they’re canon and are meant to get together because you think they should?? You think they gonna end so because you think such goat anime should end with a straight pair? Have you frickin’ seen the way they look at zoro and vivi?? Their significant others, in my mind. Or do you even know the characters? Really.

Am I missing something or are there still people who insists that a goat anime needs a final ending where the main character should end up with that one beautiful side character girl that is is obviously gay / for that one princess of alabasta ??? And don’t even get me started to Zolu.

Are you watching the anime with your ass or something? Are we watching the same anime? Be fr.

I never trusted anyone from the start.

crocomom is objectively the most on brand unhinged one piece theory

it's just absurd enough to be real and there has been nothing to outright confirm or deny it

something about rewatching the arabasta arc with that theory makes it turn into the ultimate sitcom moment

We keep comparing Luffy to Bugs Bunny but he also embodies another entity that defies order

Gear 5 is basically Luffy throwing all the rules of logic and laws of physics out the window, which is EXACTLY what cartoons do, but you know who else rejects the laws of reality? Eldritch abominations. Lovecraftian horrors. Many times, we are told that Strawhat Luffy will destroy the world or ruin the order of things, which is bad (as long as you're not a slave, oppressed, or disenfranchised). We have seen him upend nations before, but the state of those countries made the hard reset Luffy brings a godsend (see what I did there). To the world government, Luffy is basically Cthulhu, someone they thought long-dead but was actually just sleeping and now he's awake and spreading chaos through the world.

I also made other kind of illustration for that zine 👀

Man, I love that One Piece arc where the Strawhats liberate a country from the clutches of a manipulative Warlord who the citizens regard as their hero. It's very cool how they manage to restore the kingdom's trust in the elderly king and the princess they befriended. And they also meet Luffy's brother! You know, the one who wears a hat and has fire powers.

I also really like that One Piece arc where the Strawhats visit an island 10k meters away from the surface that risks destruction at the hands of a crazy megalomaniac. It has powerful messages about oppression and a very emotional flashback about key figures in the history of the island.

Although my favourite One Piece arc has to be the one where a strawhat has to leave the crew due to their past catching up to them. It hurts them terribly, but they're forced to pretend to have betrayed the crew when in reality they're trying to protect them at the cost of a great personal sacrifice. But then I love how Luffy simply doesn't accept it and follows them into a vastly dangerous territory, where he fights and beats a very powerful and previously undefeated officer, and gets his crewmate back.

That One Piece arc where the Strawhats arrive at an island with a cool name where a crazy criminal is experimenting on people is also great. I particularly enjoy the climax of the final battle, where the bad guy imbues himself with his power to grow huge. And don't get me started on when that Warlod shows up by the end!

Of course, I can't overlook that short, transitional One Piece arc where the Strawhats meet a former crewmate of the Pirate King. They get to ask about the last island! There are also hints at Luffy having a special power, which is interesting. It's sad that they get separated at the end, though.

And let's not forget that One Piece arc about a massive war with hundreds of characters involved. The stakes are huge and it culminates in the defeat of two notorius names from the pirate world. Also Shanks shows up at the very end to prevent an admiral from going apeshit, and Buggy gets promoted despite having done absolutely nothing.

I just really like One Piece 😊

If he's suing for custody, I am gonna tell the judge he smokes around the baby all the time, and takes her out in harsh weather. What? No it doesn't matter that he IS the harsh weather? Why would that matter??
