[ascesabo]

the great irony of early one piece antagonists believing zoro was the actual captain and using luffy as a puppet ... oda really threw us a bone and curb-stomped it right in our faces. yes, zoro could be a captain in his own right. yes, zoro could match luffy in strength. yes, zoro knows this perfectly well. and you know what? he chose luffy two years ago, and he will continue to choose luffy again and again. roronoa zoro, the pirate hunter, who followed a wannabe pirate with a nonexistent crew on a whim because luffy brought him his swords and made a half-assed attempt at a bargain. zoro, who made a vow to never lose again on both his and luffy's honor. zoro, who told luffy he'd make him commit harakiri if he got in the way of zoro's goal, only to turn around and be willing to sacrifice his dream if it means that luffy reaches his. zoro, who stood in place and took luffy's pain and told a warlord to take his head instead of luffy's, who got down on his knees before his supposed rival and begged mihawk to mentor him so that he could return strong enough to protect his captain. zoro, who has conqueror's haki- a natural born leader- but chooses to stay at the right hand of a man he has deemed greater than himself.

and the thing that luffy fears most? being alone. being rejected. being left behind. and what should have been his foil- the pirate hunter to his pirate king, the nonbeliever to his divine, the king of hell to his sun god- instead becomes his first and most devout follower; the one who demands to follow him to hell and back. oughhhggg i'm sick to my stomach

they make me feel miserable

The Rocky Port incident... (2)

was trending in Japan last night, so here's a post magazine release follow-up.

I was looking forward to hearing japanese readers' thoughts, but the source text itself is pretty vague which didn't help them either.

At least now the JP version is available, so I tried my hand on translating it as literally as possible.

Here's a simplified summary from Japanese user @manganouA (x) :

Just a clarification that "Hachinosu" and "Pirate Island", "Wang Zhi" and "Ochoku" are used interchangeably.

A common interpretational agreement is that Law definitely got onboard the wrong ship, and very likely the ship wasn't even going to Hachinosu. Artur's translation was incorrect, Law didn't board the smuggling ship. Pew's team updated their translation with Artur's version, even though their initial interpretation was right.

Law gained information that a smuggling ship heading to Hachinosu used a specific Kingdom's flag as their cover, and mistakenly hopped onboard a REAL ship belonging to that Kingdom- full of passengers and the King himself. The level of catastrophic clumsiness you'd expect from Luffy...

Man scratch that. it was clumsy even for Luffy's standard 😔

Another point to note, the term used to describe Law-Koby-BB combo was "共闘する形", so a combative pact is more appropriate than an alliance (同盟) - which was used for Law's pact with Luffy, and later Kidd (vs Big Mom). Nothing unexpected though.

My entire timeline is people cracking jokes about Law's blunder so I'm cherry picking a few of them.

Law: Crap, I blew it up... This is the wrong ship isn't it? (Cora ghost: Gee, Law... you're also the clumsy type aren't you?)

Zen (@GOKUJOUNOMAGURO) (x). (x)

Blackbeard arrives on luxurious Saber of Xebec, Koby arrives on a naval ship, and Trafalgar Law is somehow on a passenger's ship.

No matter how big of a mistake I make in future, I might be able to console myself thinking, "well, even Law kun got on a wrong ship."

Koby: Misunderstanding? What do you mean? No matter how you look at it, it's an act of terrorism against a Kingdom!

Law: How annoying... I'm in a state of confusion myself! I've no time to deal with the marines.

I got onboard a wrong ship!!!

Koby (after having Alvida flashback): I see. What a disaster, my heart goes out to you. Let's call it a temporary truce and defeat Ochoku first.

Law: You're convinced?!

.

My favorite has to be this low - effort comic summarizing their understanding:

"Rocky Port spinoff" was another buzzing keyword last night, I hope Shueisha is taking notes.

I know this is half-joking but I also want to put this here:

Also because I still love the way the "critic" was originally phrased and because I had a lot of fun to zoom in on butt-naked Franky in a try to spot Robins hands

you’re telling me robin CANONICALLY CRUSHES FRANKY’S BALLS???????? and then he’s like yeah okay I’ll join your crew. But only after the ball crushing.

[welivetodream]

Dazai, slamming his glass: why doesn't he love me, dammit!

Oda: maybe you should calm down a little; following him around and spying on him would come off as creepy to him.

Ango, massaging his temples: I have no idea how you haven't gotten arrested for spying!

Dazai: maybe because we are fucking criminals that work in the Mafia, Ango? I don't think Chuuya would report ME to the police of all people....

Oda: what if he reports you to the boss?

Dazai: the boss is the one who gave me the idea of spying on Chuuya to get his attention! He has been helping me all along!

Oda:......

Ango: that sounds like him.

*Meanwhile*

Chuuya: that idiot mackerel has been following me around for a week! Can you stop him?

Mori: interesting, have you thought of giving in and going out with him?

Chuuya: of course no----wait a minute! THAT'S your question? Shouldn't you stop that crazy ass behaviour?

Mori: I have decided to send you two on a joint mission to Hawaii....for a month.

Chuuya: huh? What will we do there? Have a honeymoon?

Mori:....

Chuuya: NOOOOO

•In the latest chapter, did you notice that Franky is wearing a cowboy hat? 😉

•And how cute is their conversation talking about their captain?

What did you think of the overall chapter?

Hey there, anon! Thank you for the ask.

I read the last five chapters in one go and I already love Elbaph (that looks so wrong, Elbaf looks better).

First things first: Fuck the Deadbeat Dad Pirates. And not in the nice way.

Anyway, I feel like it’s s so funny, that the one giant Navigator is a fucking nuts creep (good that Nami electrocuted - probably only shocked - him).

Love that he has like 20 different pets though and apparently he is really good at sewing clothes (his design reminds me of Mr. 4/Babe?).

Chapter 1127, 1128 & 1129 were already a lot of fun and it was interesting, that I could see that everything was built with "Lego" (a Danish invention iirc).

Also only Luffy would kill a “god” and eat it, after a giants feast.

Anyway, someone buy this dude a The Sims game.

I also love how angry Luffy is with Usopp. He trusts in Usopp’s strength so much! (Also that beard lmao)

Chapter 1130

The chapter was great!

I feel like it would have been better to talk to the giants (Gerd & Goldberg) but more importantly: please Gerd, you’re a doctor… put some clothes on! It’s freezing! (Something, something, giants metabolism, yadda, yadda… idc she looks cold! And Oda is a certified perv.)

And of course Luffy just runs to Loki and is going to befriend or fight him and change everything. Also, Loki is Hajrudin‘s brother? Hmmmmmm….

Cruxifixion is a really awful way to die. Loki does not look crucified though…

But probably appropriate for regicide and patricide, caused by greed? We don‘t know enough yet to really judge.

Anyway…

FRobin!!

I wonder if Franky was more upset about the idea of Sunny being eaten? Because the other Strawhats will be fine! They are always fine!

Look at little Bonney holding onto Jinbe!

I love that the old/adult quartet is still on the ship. And I love that they trust the rest of the crew to survive and to meet back on Elbaf and worry more about the giants wellbeing (no food and rum).

But yes! Franky is wearing a cowboy hat (and the big chain!)! It looks very similar to Robin‘s hat… and Robin is wearing her glasses! Beautiful!

Brooks‘s look also seems very classy. So does Jinbe!

(None of them know about the x of the crew in Alabasta. It also answers the question if it was painted on or tattooed.) (Second hint towards Alabasta after pervy giant looking like Mr. 4?… and of course the fact that they met Oogie and Boogie on Little Garden lmao).

And yes! Their trust in their Captain is adorable!

Overall I‘m excited for Elbaf!!!

FINALLY!!! (I am as excited as Usopp, ngl)

[lockree]

"perfectly aged and ready to be enjoyed" uh ... well ... ok?? what's going on i love it

[lotttie1111]

the way people will deny them as an item but these two went on a date wearing matching Hawaiian button ups which screams im a gay man in my mid to late thirties to me and if ur still in denial ur lying. Trust me I work in the fashion industry I know it all starts with the floral print <33

[kacievvbbbb]

I’m not someone that particularly cares about a ship being canon or not, in fact I would rather the media I consume have no romance at all (giving my blog confusing yes I know)

But there is something about the canon ties between Shanks and Mihawk that drives me feral with need to see what their whole deal is.

Because like there are so many little inconsequential details that when taking separately seem pathetic and weak. But then put together it feels like it paints the picture of a larger undeniable connection and understanding between two wildly different men.

The fact that their main color is both red (Mihawk’s is a more wine dark red than Shanks’ bright red and a little more “subtle” given that Shanks is literally called red hair) but even then their main symbols, their identifying features, are red! Mihawk’s eyes and Shanks hair (yes while I love the gold and think that’s better I cannot ignore the fact that Oda consistently colors in Mihawk’s eyes red even though the gold is infinitely more popular)

They have the same birthday, are practically the same height, both with the promises to our two main protagonists to meet them at the top with a parting “gift”, both serve as a mentor to the protagonist (mihawk literally thought zoro how to kill him 😭), both with the bird(ish) iconography.

The fact that Mihawk, Mihawk! A man whose introduction was that he didn’t care much about anything and caused destruction on a whim, cares enough about what Shanks thinks to mentally apologize before trying to kill luffy (what the fuck).

The fact that whitebeard felt the need to reference his duel with Mihawk in his conversation with Shanks, despite not really being very relevant to the conversation and the fact that this is the first we’ve seen shanks in years and it is brought up in the same context as his relationship with Buggy (an already established relationship) reveals his relationship to Roger seems to point to the fact that this duel between Mihawk and Shanks is an important relationship to shanks. It couldn’t just be to show strength because he was about to clash with whitebeard the strongest man. It’s also hard to notice that those two relationships didn’t end particularly well for shanks.

Also the fact that it was Mihawk out of every character , Mihawk that brought luffy’s bounty to Shanks. Something he obviously knew would mean a lot to him. I used to think the scene was just there to show us how big a deal Shanks actually is like look at that fun childish alcoholic gang inspired our main hero? He’s actually a super big deal and he used to spar with the strongest character by far we had seen at that point (it wasn’t even close) and they fought on equal footing. It added a new layer of mystery to Shanks.

But it’s also the fact that even now with Mihawk’s bounty Shanks was mentioned and he’s the only one who this was mentioned for. Crocodile is just for his df and intelligence and they don’t mention that he literally tried and almost succeeded in subjugating a country and he was beat by luffy “or smoker given how many marines actually know the truth” even buggy who was literally Shanks’ sworn brother under the pirate king doesn’t get a mention like that. But Shanks and this duel is so integral to Mihawk’s character that it’s mentioned along with the only other long lasting fact we know about him and that is that he is the World’s Strongest Swordsman. Isn’t that fucking insane.

And like I feel insane scrapping all these details together as proof of something because they are all (besides the duel) the barest bones of a connection but god it is actually driving me insane.

And I’m not saying Mishanks is going to become canon or that it should or that I even particularly want it too. What I do want is to see how deeply these two are connected. What are these red strings of fate tying them to each other. Why can’t apparently ten years of little contact sever it? I swear to god if it’s actually nothing much I will lose my fucking mind. If nothing ever comes of all of this I will actually go insane. How can some people look at this and not see foreshadowing!?!?!!

[whisperwillyou]

God I fucking love Oda.

This man is the only person I trust, the light of my life, Oda would never betray me.

This man has endured 20+ years of people bugging him to put romance in one piece or give Luffy a love interest despite his consistent stance that romance was never going to be a part of one piece because he prefers friendship/family dynamics.

I hope Oda knows that all the friendship/found family girlies and the romance averse people and the AroAce’s all owe him our lives

Never gonna see friendship get pushed to the side to make room for romance in One Piece 🙏

[inkmizzle]

my two gay dads (they left to be pirates but i love them still)

[beanghostprincess]

Lives were changed. Hearts were broken. Stoic professional man seems to genuinely care for his partner to the point of begging for him to be saved. Earth shattereing. A bit gay, even. Peak of romance, I dare to say.
