Part 3

[1000sunnygo]

Vivre Card translation : Law

this is the second page. Artur already covered page 1 which has the basic information.

Law is "approximately 1.1 Luffy" tall.

Essence

Consecutive battle against the Emperors to learn the History! What becomes of the surgeon's Checkered fate?

Law challenges Big Mom to uncover the meaning behind the fate of the "D". Even with grave injuries, he secures a narrow victory alongside Kidd with the power of devil fruit awakening. He acquires a copy of the Road Poneglyph. However, after setting sail from Wano Country, Law is ambushed by the Blackbeard Pirates. As a fierce battle breaks out over possession of the copy, he is defeated (Kanji used: 敗北, "defeat").The ship sinks, the fate of his nakama remains unknown. Will Law be able to resist the unfortunate twists of fate that keep befalling him...?

Awakening that makes the abilities even stronger. After piercing the enemy with "Anesthesia", he generates an internal flow of current and delivers a shock. A power that makes even an Emperor writhe in pain.

Inherited Name of a Move

Naming a move after a 'magic' from the late benefactor who changed his fate, he carves out his future once again.

Following Robin's movements, he obtains a copy of the Road Poneglyph. Perhaps due to his morally upright nature, he shares it with Kidd's group.

Feminization transformation by Doc Q's ability. While the crew is utterly captivated by the beauty, he breaks free from the 'sickness' with overwhelming Haki.

Escape from Blackbeard due to Bepo's quick wit. However, as a Captain, he couldn't leave his precious nakama behind, so he commands to return to the battlefield while barely clinging to life.

History

Participates in the Onigashima raid. Engages in combats against Kaidou and Big Mom.

Forms a temporary alliance with Kidd and defeats Big Mom together.

Bounty increases to 3 billion.

Learns about the secrets of Wano and the Ancient weapon Pluton from Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Obtains a copy of Wano Road Poneglyph.

Dissolves the alliances with Kidd and Straw hat pirates, and departs from Wano.

Defeated in a battle against Blackbeard Pirates and the ship is sunk.

No wonder Brook couldn't find a Road Poneglyph the first time he scouted. To his credit, he found the Kokeshi Doll room.

...THAT'S THREE ROAD PONEGLYPHS FOUND!!!

Perhaps my brain isn't braining or I'm assigning undue significance to this but I kinda feel like One Piece seemed to shift more toward exploring what real familial love means or looks like after the timeskip? We get Ace's death, the postwar arc, and Luffy coming to the conclusion that despite having lost both of his brothers, he's still got the Straw Hats and he can move forward with his ragtag crew of siblings, Team Mom and Dad, and an eccentric skeleton Uncle, and then right after that, we get several arcs defined overwhelmingly by either the destruction or salvation of various families.

One of the main inciting incidents–if not the inciting incident–of all the political intrigue inherent to the Fishman Island arc is the assassination of Otohime and its ramifications for Shirahoshi and the entire Ryugu Kingdom (not to mention Luffy trying really fucking hard to imitate Ace and be a big brother to Shirahoshi and Surume as a means of processing his own loss).

Dressrossa's where we first see a true perversion of all the lovely found family tropes that have long been established in One Piece (villains have destroyed families but few if any are depicted as having one in the same way Luffy does; pre-time skip villains are more likely to be loners or self-interested tyrants and their followers aren't really referred to as "family"), giving us self fashioned patriarch in Doffy who completed the destruction of his bio family and spent the rest of his life building a grotesque, failed imitation of it through manipulating and indoctrinating a group of followers he doesn't truly care for, only to be brought down by a combination of his brother's final actions, the little boy Cora saved and loved, the bonds of the Riku family he brutalized, the brothers of the guy whose devil fruit he acquired and tried to entrap his enemies with, and an actual Found Family Crew who genuinely love each other and are willing to sacrifice for each other in a way Doffy cannot possibly understand.

The entirety of WCI involves almost every conceivable permutation of multiple families plotting against, exploiting, abusing, and defiantly loving each other, from Judge discarding any hope he ever had of having an actual family that could love him by literally stripping away their ability to do so in the name of facism/conquest, to Chiffon betraying her abusive mom for her loving husband and in-laws, to Linlin being failed by every parental figure in her life and constructing the most bizarre, fundamentally horrifying political/military structure out of her army of bio children.

Wano's main villain is also an abusive father and tyrannical crew leader, and that does, in fact, contribute to his eventual downfall, but more to the point, the arc opens and closes with the initial destruction and eventual restoration of the Kozuki family in Momo, Hiyori, and Sukiyaki, Luffy's kinship with Momo and Tama, circling back to reminders of Ace yet again (for the third arc so far) and Hiyori literally closing out the arc mirroring her father's catchphrase/dying words (and to a lesser extent, plot fuelled by the destruction of the Kurozumi clan). By the time we end what I personally consider to be Part 2 of One Piece, Luffy's family has picked up another uncle, he's been confronted repeatedly with the spectre of his brother and come out stronger for it (also filling the big brother role for multiple characters), he's reunited with Sabo, and has confronted and defeated multiple villains who act as the antithesis to everything One Piece has told us so far about the joy and love and unity that the Straw Hats and their friends and true families exemplify. And by the time he tells everyone his real dream and shares what he'd previously only told Ace, Sabo, and Shanks, it feels like we've finally gotten some closure for Marineford

Luffy, delicate.

Right 🤣

Read On: AO3

Fair Warning: Written in a combination of first, second and third person POVs out of my own interest to test things out - I know - but SiHV will be rewritten soon in a consistent first person POV.

Characters: Fem!Reader x Roronoa Zoro

Synopsis: Her name is Kozuki Raya, but no one calls her by that name anymore. Using the alias of Tenguyama Raya as advised by her Gramps, Kozuki Sukiyaki, she is the descendant of the legendary swordsmith Kotetsu and a distant friend of the Shimotsuki clan.

Following in her ancestor’s footsteps, she dedicates her life to the mastery of sword crafting, wielding, and learning. With much of her life being taught by Gramps, she realises that the dormant power, ancient knowledge and ancestral secrets that thrum within her veins start to play a very important role in the way the future world is shaped.

Meeting the Straw Hats was not written anywhere within her blueprints, but – most importantly - meeting Roronoa Zoro wasn’t supposed to change the trajectory of her life either.

the truth about joyboy and imu the toymaker

At the end of the latest chapter, we saw a brief flashback of Joyboy speaking with Emeth, and sealing his Conqueror's Haki in the rope. I've got a piece about the concept of sealing Haki in the works, but for now, let's focus on the fact that Joyboy's appearance seems strange.

Many people have expressed disappointment at the fact that Oda is still using silhouettes, but others have pointed out that perhaps Joyboy seems to have an artificial hook-arm and peg-leg. This would essentially be the arch-typical design for a pirate, all that is missing is an eyepatch.

However, whilst I was re-reading Vegapunk's speech for a different theory, I stumbled back upon this detail, and now it seems to hold more significance than just a gag. Demalo Black accidentally refers to Joyboy as "Joy Toy."

Is it possible that Joyboy was not a real person at all? Not literally at least? What if he was a toy that became a real boy. I'm sure that sounds familiar to almost everybody. Oda also uses Pinocchio as an inspiration for Usopp. In that both are associate with telling lies.

What would happen then, if an animate toy were to somehow end up accidentally, or perhaps even purposefully being fed a Human Model Devil Fruit, and it gains a will of its own? The will of a mythical God, Nika. The desire for total freedom.

This would even parallel Luffy himself accidentally eating the same Devil Fruit 900 years later. Or did Shanks engineer that situation on purpose? Who's to say what the truth really was?

Perhaps then, Nerona Imu was once renowned as a famous toy maker. It just so happens that there's also precedent for this in the story through Wapol and Kozuki Sukiyaki. Both of them are renowned toy makers.

This could be why Oda is still hiding Joyboy's appearance despite the seemingly obvious implication that he should look like Luffy and Roger. Joyboy was a toy made by Imu that came to life and rebelled against Imu to chase a dream of freedom. "There are no strings on me."
