#Nami fights

[loseiso]

Nami's development going from learning to accept help from other people to having to put herself in danger for said friends is so fucking fire AAAAAA

Like this is a small detail but she had her weapon ready when the straw hats rushed into iceberg's room even though she didn't fight then she WAS ready to

And then her telling Sanji she'll fight Kalifa is one of my favorite moments honestly

She doesn't know shit about what her df, for all she knows the second Kalifa uses whatever she did to Sanji she is DEAD but still deciding to fight her to both avenge Sanji but also to save Robin UGHH

ANd then in Thriller Bark where Lola gets knocked out by the cunt and she heads back to fight him WHILE saying she knows her attack won't do much only to be rewarded with him instantly collapsing?? Actual fire

And that's just her development her character traits are amazing 😭 a obsession with money but still having lines she won't cross as seen in Skypiea when Enel offered her gold or how the time she spent with the straw hats before returning to Arlong meant so much to her that she was willing to stab her own hand and fake Usopp's death???

And of course her fighting style is so cool I don't expect a big Nami fight every arc but when they come I fucking ADORE them

(I'm on Marineford I normally don't make long post like this speaking about a characters development and how they have developed I miss her)

I love how extreme found family is in one piece. Like they took supernatural line of "Family don't end in blood" and actually made good on it. Because it's not just that the crew found each other even before that only really very briefly Robin, Usopp and Luffy could say that anyone biologically related to them raised them.

Like Luffy had Garp and that's his grandpa but he also had Makino and Shanks and the red hair pirates and they were a family unit and he also had Ace, Sabo Dandan and the bandits and they were a family as well and it's never who mattered more to Luffy or who actually raised him cause they all did. It'd be hard to put him in a nuclear family structure because so many people fill the same roles in his life in different ways and that's great like Kung Fu panda said "that doesn't mean less for one parent it just means more for Luffy"

And that's the thing I think sometime fandom can get very obsessive with trying to pin down who is whose surrogate father/mother how do they fit in the nuclear family structure and while that's fun and there's nothing wrong with head cannon characters that way I also think it's important to remember that not every relationship needs a title or definition sometimes you are just family and that's valid too.

Ace had Luffy and Garp but he also had the whitebeard pirates and his pops same with Sabo and the revolutionaries

Zoro with Kuina and his old kendo master, that was maybe more of a rivals, mentor mentee relationship than whatever Mihawk Zoro and Perona had going on but it's all family none the less.

Chopper with Hiririluk and Kureha. Perona and Moria, Usopp with the little village boys and Kaya. Shanks and Buggy with the Roger Pirates. They might not all have had defined roles with each other but it was still family.

Just like Sanji, Nami, Franky and Law and their more defined Surrogate familes

And people like Vivi Robin Usopp and Shirahoshi who had/have their biological parents/family that love them and raised them.

It's nobody that I've just mentioned properly fitting squarely into any of these categories because it's all complicated family is complicated and its messy and it's big and everyone in your family might not have even met but it's family and it doesn't end in blood and for some people it never started there either.

zoro and sanji are sooooo into promises and oaths it's unbearable. dork ass losers probably exchanged vows before they even had their first kiss. imagine sitting at the Sunny's dining room table at 8am sharp and you hear stuff like "nobody else can kill you, I feel it in my bones, I will chase you to the edges of the earth to make sure of it" whole time they're arguing about who has to pass the salt to usopp. everyone else thinks they're banging but this is all a prelude to like holding hands or something.

I think one of my favorite parts of nami’s character is like. she may not be as much of a powerhouse fighter as her crewmates, but she has a kind of fierce protective streak that rivals even luffy’s. there’s something to be said for the way she sees herself as specifically luffy’s protector, too. she looks at luffy and understands that he is trusting her to help him navigate which social rules he can keep ignoring and which ones he needs to obey and when; to know which way they need to go and what they need to do to keep the ship and crew safe. I’ve called her his replacement for pragmatism before, but it’s more than that! nami gets upset with him after Jaya and when she realizes he’s gonna make them wait 2 years bc in those moments he has made it impossible for her to protect him and she HATES that. I think it’s why she and zoro understand each other so well sometimes, especially when it comes to luffy; they’ve both built their sense of self and purpose on protection and a refusal to ever just accept a loss as inevitable, as differently as it presents in each of them.

i promise i’ll shut up about robin and sanji eventually but not quite yet anyway the fact that sanji was probably, out of all the straw hats (bar luffy), the most vocal about getting robin back (see: him going after her by himself), how he so adamantly didn’t believe a word she (or nami during arlong park for that matter) said and how on top of that witnessed first hand just how far luffy is willing to go for his crew mates - he saw him declare war on the world government for robin for gods sake - and yet still believed that luffy would give up on and leave during whole cake island fucks me up to an immeasurable degree. he’s seen luffy’s unwavering faith in his crew and their motives twice now and yet he still didn’t think he would be afforded the same treatment and that absolutely breaks my heart

Hilarious revelation that Vivi might have not actually seen Luffy and Zoro fight together at full strength before

[softrozene]

Sometimes I pretend I am oblivious and happy like Luffy, nonchalant like Zoro, and cool like Sanji...

And then I realize I'm these three:

And when OPLA calls back to Zeff telling the crew to read stories to Zoro so he can hear their voices and recover faster, by having Sanji sit by his bedside on Thriller Bark and read him a book about the All Blue. What will you do then?
