#Smoker and Drake are such a good...//

[multixminds]

💋 // how could i not send this????? yes pls 🥺💛

SEND 💋 IF YOUR MUSE WANTS A KISS FROM MINE

It wasn't often that a Rear Admiral came to check in on a base where Commodore Smoker and his men were stationed for the time being. As far as Drake was concerned, the allowance of a Naval Base for Smoker--and with the unruliest lot within the Marines--was another test.

It was a hoop that the Marines were intent on squeezing him through to rank him up into the higher levels. He might've been the most unruly man within the Marines, but he was a powerful man who did his job to the best of his ability even though he didn't take kindly to promotion.

Hell, he flat out refused, even!

Drake could understand that he was forcing their hand each time with his rejection--that the more he refused despite his accomplishments, it would become harder and harder to not reward him like he wished. They could only go so long without promoting him again.

Smoker, in turn, was testing their face.

Something had to be done.

Potentially high ranking Marines--Marines, period, really--could not come away thinking that they would not, ever, be rewarded for their good efforts. A poisonous thought like that could never enter their minds, and so, the problem of Smoker needed to be solved.

Right now, however, promotions and rankings seemed quite far away from Smoker's mind when Drake turned to look at him with a soft grin. It wasn't often that the man lost himself in his thoughts, and when he did, he could look quite charming to a degree.

There was something softer about Smoker as they stood together in the moonlight under a blanket of stars from a single sharpshooter balcony that sat near the top of the base's main tower.

He was smoking--as he always did--and Drake hadn't minded that, not when he felt so warm beside him.

One large hand reached out to run through the shorter man's white locks--they were getting longer, almost to the point where they'd need to be cut or fashioned into a new hairstyle if they went any further, eventually--before Drake found himself leaning in.

When he'd noted the movement, Smoker had turned , but he hadn't moved away--hadn't stopped Drake's hand, either--and instead pulled the cigars from his lips for the moment.

After that, he simply ... waited with an expression that did things to Drake's insides.

Face heating up as it neared Smoker's own, the ginger could not bring himself to stop what he was about to do and thankfully, the logia user looked a bit embarrassed himself just before their lips met in a sweet kiss--that didn't stay sweet for long, quite frankly.

It felt as though Drake had been waiting for this his entire life.

Even fiber of his being was focused on Smoker as he drug the man closer to himself, almost crushing him close as he wasted no time attempting to deepen the kiss into something that involved more, just more for the lack of a better word, and Smoker, thankfully, seemed to have the same goal in mind.

Chapter 1117 Spoilers

Ahhh. I'm quivering. We don't get Law, but we get!

Bepo and Bepo is thinking about Captain (so he's not dead, and neither is Bepo...All patched up with his little bandage). Not too distraught, so I'm trusting the Hearts are okay, AND

Will of D. <3

The scans say that the Japanese ends with mo (も), which can be a conjunction similar to 'and' (or is it a particle? I don't know). BUT, could also be the beginning of a name or noun (Momonosuke). Or extra thing (more...)

BUT, it's interesting that all are named or shown, bar Law. Bepo of course is a representative, but where is Law? Also, I don't think the navy knows about Law's status (so I don't know if Vegapunk did), BUT intriguing. Where is Jaguar D. Saul? (maybe Oda forgot him, or there will be another reveal).

Honorable mention to this D. too!

Vivi! Shown, but not named. (Interesting that the Wiki lists her as a D. by the way, but not Law's family. I think it's an oversight for Law).

Ah, Robin and Law must be champing at the bit. I'm hoping Law's not part of SWORD, but I'll roll with it if he is (just looking at those backgrounds). Bepo's is similar to the marines featured. Also, I hope that Law's listening in!

Ay-oop! look who washed up on the soar! Heh-heh. Shore. Our favourite ancient zoan, Drake. So, he saved Garp and Co? I wasn't sure which Captain Kujaku was referring to here (below)).

It doesn't seem very Garp-like to want space. I am betting that Hibari is Akainu's granddaughter rather than daughter in the way that Kujaku is Tsuru's granddaughter, and Luffy is Garp's grandson, because it makes sense (generation-wise), and ties into the "It's our turn to step up" line from Kujaku. Interesting!

Anyway, just popping in to drop a bit of excitement. It seems the iron giant got blitzed, but I'd say it's its own form of ancient weapon, so it might not be over and out yet. I wanted to repost what Sandman said on Twitter last week, and which I also thought:

The Japanese has 'tanoshimi' (enjoy, fun, etc.) in quotation marks, which strikes me as maybe Rayleigh being sarcastic. For example, what knowledge has the older generation withheld from the younger? and is that withholding a benefit to them, or does it just make it that much harder for them to find the truth? (and increase their chances of being in danger?)

Speaking of which, do you think Rayleigh will survive? Does he know too much? Knowing Oda, he will, but it's curious that there are remnants of the crew out there with all the answers that others are seeking.

Of course, the true history and Will of D. and One Piece are not necessarily of equal weight, but man, Oda's not discounting any of them either!

Just rambling. Also, link to Sandman's post.

OOH, I almost forgot. Talk about gritty characters (even if they're made of smoke)

Smoker!!! It's been too long. Good to see ya'! (where there's Smoke there's Law...maybe? Heh-heh. Just joshing. They look good together, though).

Another also bit! It's way at the end of my post but at the beginning of the manga: Pearl's look has always reminded me of the Pearl Diving bells (or the helmets divers wore), so I think it's clever of Oda to place him at the section where they're talking about exploring below the sea.

[l-in-the-light]

Love reading your thoughts on Laws character 🙏💯. Which kind of people do you think he wouldn't get along at all? What are his No-Gos he couldn't forgive?

This is another post grouping many different asks in one post! Please scroll lower for different questions!

Thank you! I love receiving such nice asks ❤ those few extra nice words besides just leaving a like really go a long way!

Which kind of people he doesn't get along with? I think there are a few factors to it rather than "certain types of people". First of all, let's take a look at Kid. He admits openly he kills anyone who makes fun or disagrees with him, and Law dislikes killing, because he's a doctor. So I guess he doesn't really like people who kill others like it's not a big deal. Coincidentally, in his first meeting with Drake that we see in the manga, Law mocks him by asking "how many people did you kill?".

Second of all, people who call Law a monster (or in Kid's case, talk shit about Law behind his back). Any time that happens Law ends up doing some nasty shit Hannibal-style like putting random limbs of people together, to show them who the real monster is (not him). Law might have a bad reputation (despite the fact he doesn't seem to actually kill anyone! Original owners of 100 hearts are apparently still alive, as well as every Marine Law fought against), and he might even play along with it to his benefit, but he's more compassionate than people give him credit for.

Third example would be people who don't respect their family or crews, or hurt children, or drug people to control and use them. Clearly family ties and his own crewmates mean a lot to Law, so people who go against their own blood, like Doflamingo, automatically are on his black list. It probably does help that Doffy is also a manipulator and I think Law has enough of people like that in general.

I would also say he dislikes bullies, but then he met Shachi and Penguin when they were literally bullying Bepo and later he still became friends with them. Which means nothing is truly set in stone for him and he might change his mind about people, as long as he understands them and their reasons a bit better. Well, I guess many people will disagree with my answer here, but that's my best guess. It's possible Law actually prefers people who are "good people", the same as Luffy.

Well well well... let's see, whenever people are dramatic around Law, how does he react? That might give us an answer why he "dislikes when people are dramatic".

In case of Tashigi, she was lashing out because she truly believed Law killed Smoker by ripping his heart off. She knew she's no match for Law, but she was hurting so much that all she could see were her own emotions and need for payback. Even if Law told her Smoker isn't dead there was a chance she wouldn't even listen, considering the state she was in. So what did he do? Ignore her pain? No, actually he switched her soul with Smoker's, so she could find out by herself that Smoker was fine and alive. That was his mercy. So, the answer would be: because when someone is dramatic it doesn't leave Law unaffected. He might act like he's beyond that and is just stoic and uncaring, but he is clearly anything but.

The same can be said when Bepo is super dramatic about his painful stomach in Wano. We know he won't die from it and will get better if he just listens to what Law tells him to do, but Bepo is exaggerating a lot there.

And the result? Law can't leave him alone, despite the fact he needs to manage the crisis situation with the Strawhats. The final result is disastrous and Luffy lands in Udon. Whenever someone overdramatizes their reactions Law has a hard time following his own plan and goals, he is ready to ditch everything. He says that Cora-san gave him a heart and that heart sure is very compassionate, and Law must be finding himself often in situations in which it backfires on him.

The same can be said about the situation with Shinobu who clearly exaggerates "whenever a ninja is caught, they take their own life or another ninja makes sure to kill them" and Zoro with his "this is my final attack. If it fails (and I die), the rest is up to you". Whenever someone is very dramatic it is somehow always very effective on Trafalgar Law. And he ends up doing whatever that person wants him to do. You want Law to do a certain thing? Just be dramatic about it, tell him you're dying (and be a good actor about it if you're faking), and he will do just about anything for you, lol.

I also elaborated a bit more about Law's weakness to cute things, which is also somewhat related to this, because the reason is the same: it appeals to his protective side.

Glad you liked it! I think Cora-san would indeed prefer for Law to just live his life any way he wants, he wouldn't even judge whoever he becomes in the future (a pirate, a marine, a village bum, a doctor), because Cora would be happy as long as Law is happy. He wants him not to feel limited anymore, for him to be free. Law aiming for revenge or dedicating 10 years to prepare a plan against Doflamingo would not be something Cora-san would be pleased with.

But if Law decided he wants the world government to pay for what it did to Flevance? I suspect Cora-san would actually support him in this. Because that's what Law chose himself to do, not for someone else's sake, and because it matters a lot to him. But would he still prefer him to chase after his childhood dream instead? For sure. For Cora-san Law is his hope, his legacy, his wish to do things right, that's why he would want Law to have the best life and live the longest possible. His love for Law is really beautiful, in a way it's the perfect family love, definitely up there with Bellemere's.

Hi, anon! I actually did write a bit about scenes with Law and Robin before. In case you didn't see it, I will leave you here with a link: https://www.tumblr.com/l-in-the-light/760794596720656384/. In first ask I analyzed their Wano and Dressrosa interactions, and in second ask below it I listed their similarities and tried to take a guess at how they would vibe with each other in the future.

Long story short, I really think Law did take some risk when he shared his hidden name with her, but he doesn't exactly trust Robin yet (which shouldn't be a surprise, they're both very reserved people, especially towards strangers!). Also fandom tends to forget that Robin and Law don't know each other's pasts. Law might know some stuff about Ohara, but Robin has no way to connect Law with Flevance unless he's the one to tell her about it. That link I left you with is all I've got for them for now, but who knows, I might be doing Law's relationships with each of the Strawhats (maybe as a series of posts) in the future. Of course besides Luffy, because I wrote already like 12 posts about Law with Luffy alone haha.

The simplest answer is: because Bepo is a mink, not a human. I know, I know, it sounds like the most boring answer ever, but that's how it is when it comes to Bepo and his special privileages of physical affection with Law. He's allowed to hug him, garchu him and touch him in general, and Law returns it by leaning on Bepo when he naps. Bepo is literally the only person Law allows so close to him, you don't see Shachi or Penguin touching Law.

Besides the physical touch, Bepo is also privileaged in few other areas, he seems to know Law is a D., for example, Law also told him about Flevance and probably more things about his past. But I'm sure Penguin and Shachi know all about it as well, all four of them are besties and they basically are friends since Law was 13. I guess any close friend Law would know for a decade (or more) would get the special privileages ;) tho it's probably also important that he met them so soon after losing Cora-san. They were there for him when he had no one left anymore.

When it comes to Bepo, Bepo likes to act a little like a younger brother Law would have to take care of. He's also a bit silly and has poor self-esteem, so it goes well with Law's protective older sibling side of personality. I think Bepo likes the attention so he might be occassionaly acting more immature or weaker than he actually is, just so Law pampers him a bit, lol. It's definitely very effective. But it's also mutual, Law seems to like to care for someone this way.

Some nice anon requested for me to write a seperate post about Law with his Heart Pirates, so when I get around to it, I will definitely try to elaborate on all the fun dynamics they share :)

He's definitely friends with Zoro. Zoro even wrapped an arm around Law in post-Dressrosa feast! Law also scolded him so openly in Wano, even holding him by his clothes like he's about to punch him (he would never though, so far Law has never punched anyone lol). Those two definitely grew quite close together. And in Zou they share a lot of comments with each other and when they both react to danger, Zoro says he will take this on himself, probably mindful of Law's arm that was still recovering.

And let's not forget that Zoro asks Law to take over the fight in the raid. We never saw Zoro trust someone *that much* before! Law even goes as far as saving Zoro a few times in that fight and gives him finally to Sanji (best person to leave Zoro with, 100%, no irony included, I swear).

Zoro trusted Law really fast, which is unusual for our resident strawhat swordsman. He was so suspicious of Robin, for example, but all it took for Zoro to hit things off with Law was one day in Dressrosa. Absolutely stunning. But not so surprising, he saw Law taking a blow from Doflamingo for the plan AND the strawhats at the same time, almost dying in the process, so of course that would earn him Zoro's respect. After all Zoro would do exactly the same, and Law did it despite the fact Strawhats aren't his own crew. Zoro probably sees Law as very responsible, daring (he aims to defeat Kaido, after all!), brave, respectful (towards the captain, Law never takes over for Luffy despite being older and more experienced!), protective towards people, serious and reliable. Those are all the traits Zoro would find very admirable. Zoro's faith in Law as a person who would take care of the Strawhats (to the point that Zoro has no problem leaving everything up to Law and just goes on a voyage around Wano) is really exceptional. It's like he believes in Law 100%.

Law on the other hand has a bit different experience with Zoro, I bet. He saw him being a great swordsman (so he earned some respect definitely), ready for sacrifices if needed and protective of others, kinda reserved but with good instincts and levelheaded most of the time, but also way too daring to the point he doesn't think too much about his own wellbeing, a bit lost and goofy (the whole Wano situation lol) and perhaps even a bit pushy (the last one is just my hunch, Law is even more reserved than Zoro after all and he wouldn't embrace anyone randomly like the latter did). If I would have to put it into just few words or one sentence, I would say that Law sees Zoro as someone he respects, especially in terms of strength and determination, but also someone he would worry about, because he tends to push himself way beyond his limits, endangering his own life all the time, and well, Zoro's gimmick of getting lost would definitely strike a protective side in Law as well.

That's why their relationship is a bit imbalanced, because it seems Law feels more inclined to take care of Zoro than Zoro feels the same for him. It's worthy to note tho that Zoro protected him in Dressrosa, even found his sword for him, when Law was the most vulnerable and immobilized thanks to seastone cuffs. I'm sure Law appreciated it a lot (he even says in Wano how important it is to trust your companions to have your back in the heat of the battle) and will not forget to return the favour as well, given the opportunity. He was probably also very touched when Zoro told him he's leaving things up to him. That kind of trust in Law's abilities and in him as a person feels very special.

They're also just two people who share quite a number of similarities. They're both rather deadpan, dislike emotional outbursts, are both levelheaded and logical (sometimes to the point of being dreadful, after all both Zoro and Law told Usopp to "just die" rather than betray the cause lol), and reserved. Might be why they get along so well together, they just share similar vibes. I totally adore their friendship! I wish more people would notice it. But then I wish more people would notice Law's friendship with Strawhats in general, not just with Luffy. He totally treats them as his second crew and I will die on this hill!

Maybe I really need to write those posts about Law and his friendships with the Strawhats.

Actually, yes. I think he is absolutely trash at opening to people, so he definitely needs people he can take care of, because they slip right under his defensive walls (and he can be a total impenetrable fortress otherwise). Just compare Law's first encounter with Luffy when he thinks Luffy is strong, independant and has a great crew, he totally believes Luffy doesn't need him in any way so Law acts super detached. Yeah, he talks with Luffy, but as soon as Luffy declares him as his rival, Law retreats without as much as a word. But when he sees Luffy helpless and dying in Marineford, suddenly it's Law who reaches out towards him. And it stays that way also in Punk Hazard. That's because Law realized Luffy is reckless and needs someone to watch over him (not even his own crew is able to do that at all times).

It's actually really hard to imagine him opening up or getting along with people who he thinks don't need him in any way. We have literally no canon example of that. Even Cora-san appealed to Law's protective side, because he was a total klutz who sets himself on fire by accident all the time. Even Kin'emon, with who Law became friends with, is a bit goofy and not very smart, so it's easier for Law, because he can help and protect him. This is all related to the fact that Law just really wants to save people, it's his "new" call in life after losing Flevance and Cora-san. Who knows what would become of Law if he never met Penguin, Shachi and Bepo, another people he could take care of and who care for him back?

This might be one of the reasons why Law also doesn't get along well with Kid, until he observed him actually acting like a child, not really thinking strategically. Kid's idea of proving his worth is just to punch the opponent till they can't get up again. The moment Law realized that he started cooperating with Kid, even protecting him by distracting Big Mom in their fight. Without the Hawkins gimmick with the voodoo doll and Kid's bull/hippo attacks Law wouldn't do a thing for him. Law actually doesn't interact with many people canon-wise (you can easily count them) and it's a constant proof that he just wouldn't reach out to people or would even avoid them in general.

And sure, you can argue that Heart Pirates aren't strong so that's why Law keeps them around, because he feels responsible for them. But if you look at Strawhats, not every Strawhat is super strong either. Take Nami or Usopp or Chopper for example. They're good at what they're good at, but they can't deal with strong opponents at all. I would say it's kinda the same with Hearts, they're good at what they're good at, but definitely can't take on Kaido, Big Mom, not even Queen or King. But it doesn't mean they're just cheerleaders. The fact that they respect and love their captain so much is seperate from their actual fighting skills, imo. It's to show how much they appreciate, look up to and love him as their captain. Law might not have many friends, but those that he does keep close to him end up very dedicated to him. He definitely can attract people towards himself, he just doesn't. Unless they need him. It's not that unusual in people with strong survivor's guilt to behave in such ways that Law does.

I mean, I think I wrote a lot about it here: https://www.tumblr.com/l-in-the-light/761478106370424832/

The only reason I didn't elaborate on in that post was their first meeting, which clearly rubbed Law the wrong way. Kid literally talked behind his back about him and Law didn't enjoy that (he even flipped his finger at him). He hates when people call him a monster. Kid also called out Law on his "bad manners", and that must have triggered him, because that's exactly how Vergo talked to Law, always scolding him for not adressing him with "mister". Kid might have thought he's telling Law a compliment, but Law definitely did not think it was one. Law hated their interaction so much that he couldn't stand the thought of Kid doing any sort of favour for him (taking care of the Marines outside the auction house), and besides complaining about ordering him around, he refused to talk to Kid at all.

It was the same in Wano, Kid literally had to mock and tease him to get any sort of reaction out of him. Seems when Law holds a real grudge, it runs deep. But once he knows the person a bit better he can get over it. He just didn't have occassion for that with Kid before and also probably wasn't very interested in him either, before he learned Luffy friended him and basically dragged him to the raid as well. Surprise! So Law had to learn how to interact with him as well, and at first he wasn't exactly nice to him anyway, even dodging Kaido's attacks, uncaring that they will fly right towards Kid lol. By the end of their co-op fight against Big Mom Law grew a tiny bit fonder of Kid, I guess. Just a tiny bit.

sigh. go on then. drake.

i knew you cared about me....

How I feel about this character

my emotions about him are generally divided into 5 categories:

lust - not gonna get into it too much because this is tumblr not twt but uhhhh. he's 7 foot 8 inches. he's a dinosaur zoan.... he has a hybrid form. he has really good tits thighs and ass. all i'm saying is that i need him carnally

sobbing emojis - HIS FUCKING BACKSTORY OMFG. GODS. literally IM DEAD. i hope diez barrels is put through hell two billion times. i have extended headcanons about his time as an abused kid. i'm so so happy he was rescued. i can't believe he was nineteen there he was so small. im so glad that he's grown up now and (probably at least somewhat) recovered. i need the barrels pirates to be executed.

need to coddle him - i need to make him take a week off where he does nothing but experience joy. i want him to get over his trauma. i'm booking him a therapy session. im spooning him and washing his hair until he cries because he's never felt intimacy like that. i need him to be happy

need to bully him - his name is so stupid. "x drake" but it's pronounced "diez drake." he's a huge nerd about reptiles and ASTROPHYSICS. he's so large and so pathetic. he's a huge dweeb. he blushes and faints easily. he's weak to boobs. he's like if a mommas boy didnt have a momma. sengoku adopted him and he defected from the main marine force. he went undercover as a pirate and trafalgar clocked him in 0.2 secs as a narc. his pirate outfit is all leather which is both very distracting to me and very difficult to move in. he dual wields weapons that aren't normally dual wielded. his hair is the stupidest thing i've ever seen. he's a ginger. what is up with that weird ass pirate mask. his ship is literally just a painted over marine ship. i can't believe this guy he's such a dweeb

overwhelming love - i love him so much he's sweetie cutie of all time. i love him. he's 7'8. he's a dinosaur man. he faints when he sees boobs. i have only one figure and it's of him. he has such a strong moral compass. he's head of sword. he believes in real justice. he loves chicken and he hates eggs. he has two different birthdays. in the real world he would be a zookeeper. i LOVE HIM SO MUCH

he is my most specialest guy of all time.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

smoker, mostly. koby a little

My non-romantic OTP for this character

his relationship with the rest of SWORD in general is so cute. also putting drake and paulie in a room together has a lot of comedic potential because why are they Like That.

My unpopular opinion about this character

idk what the popular opinions about him are. that hes ugly? i agree tho he is a little bit ugly. but i still love him. ummmmm idk. the unpopular opinion is that i like him at all

oh also not a fan of drake and law? idk i just don't think law would fuck marines. except for One of them

also i don't think he's a daddy dom. he's my pathetic little princess

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

can i just get more of him in general. can we leave one piece and go to "life of diez drake" instead. that would be really good for me

Deicide: Red Shift (58212 words) by VickytheSnake, thesavagesabretooth Chapters: 13/?

Summary: A mysterious signal is drawing ships across the Grand Line to a place called Elegia for the first ever concert by the rising star singer, Uta. Following the signal are Cross Guild and fallen emperor Shanks, the Charlotte family, the Donquixote Pirates and the shattered remnants of Law's crew, and Kid's crew, and Cavendish and Bartolomeo.

And the Straw Hats and their captain Luffy, who hasn't seen Uta since they were both little children at their idol Shanks' knee.

Perhaps this meeting was ordained by fate. Perhaps, in the end, there was only ever one tragic outcome possible.

But Luffy has other plans.

catch up here

-

Tashigi's first week as a pirate was not going at all how one might have expected a devious and traitorous turn to the side of injustice to go. 

It had started with pulling a very drunk, very sad Emperor Shanks out of the sea and somehow it had escalated to going to see a concert. Frankly, it didn't feel all that different from being a marine, on a minute to minute basis.

Had she been a bad marine?

She was starting to think she might have been a bad marine.

"This reminds me a little bit of the pirate festival, sir!" she said over the sound of the music. Captain Crocodile had split them into groups before they came ashore, and here she was with her fellow marines, Smoker, Hina and Drake, as well as some of Crocodile's pirates, a few of whom she even recognized. There was Iron Mace Alvida, as well Daz Bones and a couple of the other old Baroque Works mercenaries.

One of them, a tall and deadly looking woman with dark hair and a smoking pipe, had wandered up to murmur something to Alvida as she lightly bobbed her head to the music.

Hina had struck up another cigarette, grinning widely around it as she bumped Tashigi's hip. "Can ya believe this, Tashigi?? Uta. Hot damn. For our first big job as pirates this is a blast! That festival don't hold a candle to this!"

Their little circle was an absolute biohazard of mingling smoke. Cigarettes, whatever drug Zala was puffing down, and Smoker's cigars blazing as he laughed sharply. "Reminds me of it too, Tashigi. Little bigger, and probably ain't gonna end in a madman slamming his way through half of it—least until the marines get here."

"I certainly hope so!" Tashigi agreed, glancing up at the stage. Especially outdoors the smoke didn't bother her– she was long used to that sort of thing in much closer quarters after working under Smoker for so long. "I mean I hope not? I hope the marines are the worst we have to contend with! Do you think it'll be bad, sir?"

Smoker looped his arm around Tashigi as he watched the young singer bounce around on stage framed by the prosthetic wings she wore, cheerful lyrics blasting out from the stage and filling the air around them with strange and flashy pyrotechnics—dancing creatures in the sky and glittering starscapes.

"It'll be bad, Tashigi. They're probably gonna send an admiral, possibly even a Buster Call if she pisses off the Celestial Dragons enough. They're already probably pissed about the signal hijacking."

"Eugh…" Hina hissed through her teeth. "Let's hope they don't send all of them." 

"Well, at any rate they're at least down a few, right?" Drake offered. "Us."

-

The set went perfectly— the rising excitement of New Genesis, a promise to everyone watching, came to a crashing crescendo in 'Backlight', riling the crowd up with a declaration of rebellion against everyone who dared abuse them. The crowd was excited—she was excited!

The whole world was watching, and her fans were full of joy, which was good. She'd give them the show they promised before she had to make her decision. Before she had to decide if Luffy's offer of a place on her crew was something she could forgive pirates at large for.

She had to figure out if she could still be a pirate like she'd once dreamed of being—after the show. After the festival ended. She hopped backstage and headed to her dressing room with a smile—only to find the Dream Guardians, her stalwart constructs, standing with a rather sizable group of…

"LUFFY! There you are, you pain in the butt! You snuck backstage again!" 

Luffy crossed his arms. "Well, obviously! I told you I was gonna introduce you to my crew! Oh and Mingo wanted to tag along I guess."

Donquixote Doflamingo, the man from the poster she'd collected, loomed at the back of the group, feather cape and all. He gave an excited wave.

"I'm a big fan," the famous pirate said.

Uta froze as she looked up at Donquixote Doflamingo with wide eyes. "Oh wow…oh WOW!"

DOFLAMINGO from her POSTERS! She had a pair of the same glasses, and he had that great coat. 

Excitement bubbled up inside her. When she'd seen his posters she KNEW he must have been misguided or something—and now she was wondering if he was even that. Maybe he was just a good pirate? After all—a monster of a pirate wouldn't ever be a fan of her music.

"Doflamingo, you like my music? I own your poster! I have it on my wall!"

The dark haired and scruffy young man leaning on Luffy's shoulder stared dubiously at her. "You're fucking kidding me. You're fans of one another??" 

Doflamingo clapped his hands together excitedly. "I love your music! I've been sharing it with everyone, isn't that right, Law?"

Luffy stuck out his tongue. "Everybody thinks your music is cool, Uta. A bunch of my crew are fans, too. Sanji's a huge fan! You have his poster too!"

Her brother reached with a stretchy arm and hauled a blond haired man with a cigarette in his mouth to the front of the group.

Sanji sputtered, little puffs of smoke leaking from his mouth as he was yanked to the forefront of the crowd—but he composed himself really quickly, taking his cigarette from his lips with a charming smile.

"I never thought I'd get to meet the beautiful goddess of music in the flesh. If you'll have me, I'd be happy to serve ya as your knight in shinin' armor~."

Uta's smile grew a bit wider. He looked JUST like his wanted poster—and who could say no to a bit of praise like that? 

After that, Luffy introduced her to his crew. There were a lot of them, and they were all very strange. Strange, but charming and kind. They weren't anything like she'd expected pirates to be— like the people of Elegia told her they'd be. Nami was a thief, but she was gregarious and clever, telling her that 'gals like us have to stick together, right' as she snickered and promised her embarrassing stories about her crewmates. 

Franky—he was a LIVING ROBOT, or a Cyborg , as he put it. A big, really interesting and completely odd man made of metal who kept calling her a 'rebel heart'. Usopp was funny, constantly telling tales she could TELL were lies all through his introduction.

The whole crew was kind and welcoming—Robin, the quietest of them, leaned over to tell her that she secretly hoped that Uta would take up her captain's request.

She was also introduced more formally to Doflamingo– "Call me Doffy", he said, despite Luffy calling him 'Mingo'-- and his crew, which apparently included Law, the guy who Luffy was hanging all over, and Bepo, a big bear mink man who was wearing a bunch of her merchandise and seemed shy.

It was an idol's job to try to be there for a fan, wasn't it? She beamed widely as she called Doflamingo Doffy as he wished, and eagerly asked him about how he found her music—and leaned over to loop Bepo in as well. He was shy—but she'd draw him into the party atmosphere!

Bepo remained shy, but it was clear he was having fun. He told her about his favorite songs and asked if she'd mind signing one of the little fanbooks someone had been selling, for his friend Buffalo.

Everyone was excited, and eager to talk to her, and it had all taken on quite a party atmosphere. Zoro, who Luffy had introduced as "my swordsman" jokingly asked if she had any of Luffy's baby pictures.

Sadly she didn't—but she DID offer Zoro embarrassing drawings of some of young Luffy's most ridiculous moments. Better than anything Luffy had ever drawn, too!

Things were great—she'd signed the fanbook, and the whole group had moved from her dressing room and out into one of the festival areas for her to grab a bite to eat as they joked, mingled and laughed.

The crew treated her like one of them—even the other crew, the Donquixotes who were there, treated her the same way. 

Eventually, she couldn't help herself. For old times sake she challenged Luffy to a contest to see if he could actually break his losing streak. 

Luffy pointed to her with a huge grin. "You're on!!"

And so they'd been on. The only question had been whether or not to screen the competition on the big monitors for everyone.

At first Uta wasn't gonna do it—this was their favorite old game after all, a private affair. But— the pre-competition smack talk had only escalated and escalated until she grinned and projected the image of themselves the entire concert wide with a cheerful proclamation.

"Hey everyone! Who's ready to watch my little brother LOSE another competition with your favorite U~T~A~!"

It had gotten the crowd pumped, that was for sure. Even if it was probably a little confusing to some of her fans. That was fine, what was important was having a good time. It was important that her fans were having a good time. That was the most important thing.

But maybe Luffy was right and her having a good time was a little bit important, too.

-

Crocodile and Mihawk had been searching the crowd for the Donquixotes for an hour or more with no sign of them.

He didn't expect to see Doflamingo's big stupid sunglass wearing face in a crowd of Straw Hats behind Uta in her latest transponder projection across the island.

"......oh." MIhawk had taken to squinting at the screen with a quietly perplexed expression as the 'contest' played out.

Uta, the world famous singer and Shanks' estranged daughter, had challenged Straw Hat Luffy to an eating contest of all things. The dainty and cheerful idol had set up a complicated mix of the classic grand line children's game of 'chicken', aka: whoever chickens out of a potential injury first is the loser—and an eating contest.

The first to finish their plate won—all while a monstrous bull with 'Uta' painted along the side charged towards them from behind. 

Crocodile stared at the screen for a long moment. In fact, he did not take his eyes off the events unfolding as he asked his dear partner in crime for an objective take.

"Mihawk. Am I hallucinating?"

"I do not believe we're able to share hallucinations, Captain," Mihawk murmured. "and I feel as if I must be, myself."

Uta declared a START!!

And she and Luffy started eating with abandon—scarfing chicken wings as the bull charged down the inexplicably rainbow colored track while fucking Doflamingo and the Straw Hats watched in amusement. 

"And you're seeing Straw Hat and Uta doing an eating contest while Doffy sits with the Straw Hat crew? Cause that's what I'm seeing."

"Yes, that is what I am seeing, Captain Crocodile," Mihawk droned. "It would seem that he's also got Law Trafalgar with him. And there is a bull."

The eating contest was neck and neck—both of them able to eat with an absolutely astonishing and admittedly alarming amount of skill and speed. The bull was getting closer—and somehow Uta had manifested a mug of beer in her hands, which she cheerfully offered to Luffy mid-meal.

And Straw Hat, of course, took the beer obviously and drank it. Crocodile struggled once again with the fact that if he had met Luffy first in Alabasta, before Vivi did, things might have gone very differently.

"Something's off, Hawky," Crocodile grumbled, watching Luffy get attacked by a bull live on stage.

"I suppose it could be falsified footage," Mihawk mused quietly, "though that isn't easy to make."

Taking advantage of his distraction Uta finished her plate and leapt out of the way of the bull as it barreled closer, laughing cheerfully as she did. 

"And why the hell would she put Doffy in it of all people?" Crocodile demanded, watching the farce play out. "Alright well at least we know he's around here somewhere. Even if it's weird we haven't seen any of his family."

There was a lot more weird than just that, but hopefully if they found Doflamingo he could answer some of those questions.

Uta on the screen was rolling around, kicking her feet on the ground as she laughed and Luffy clearly lost their ridiculous contest on mass-broadcast transponder snail.

She looked up with a joyful smile and raised her hands like she was miming claws, squeezing her fingers at him and sticking out her tongue "And that's another loss for you, Luffy! Looks like you still can't beat me after all!"

"Well, Doffy is a big fan, isn't he? He told me a few times. Perhaps he used his charm to get a backstage pass." 

"Maybe," Crocodile murmured. "Alright let's find the fuck out."

-

The contest had Shanks smiling again for the first time since Uta had gone off stage at the end of her set. Since then, he'd been nervously wondering why Uta would be mad at him, and what he should do.

Buggy had no fucking clue how to answer either of those worries. It was weird, right? Sure, he was pissed when Shanks left, and he was sure Uta felt the same way, but why would she have told him that she'd wanted to stay in the first place? And how the hell do you fix that?

He'd been lost in trying to figure out how to navigate that minefield when the contest blared out in front of him and set his eyes bugging out of his skull.

What the FUCK was Doflamingo doin' there?? With Luffy and his gang of all people too? The whole crew—and….and…

His eyes lingered on Princess Vivi for a long and baffled moment. Hoo boy, ooh, ouch, oof, that was gonna be a whole other can of worms. He'd seen her wanted posters, he knew she was a pirate but—

Hooo boy. Aborting hard from that line of thought he turned his attention to the contest instead. Holy fuck, that kid could eat. Was Shanks really sure that she wasn't actually Luffy's birth sister? Because he'd never seen someone actually rival the notorious glutton other than whats-her-name the newbie pirate who vanished. Bonney. Yeah. 

"She beat him again!" Shanks chuckled. "Should have expected that, really."

"Did she uh, usually beat him at this kinda thing?" Buggy asked, looking at the guy who wiped the floor with him in the East Blue—who he helped during Marineford—lose spectacularly to Shanks' bubbly daughter. 

"Every time. Because she played dirty, and Luffy played fair. Just like that." Shanks was grinning widely.

"She really is your daughter, ain't she?" Buggy laughed with a shake of his head, rubbing the back of his neck. "They look like they're really havin' fun. That's a good thing, right?" 

"Yeah. Just like old times."

-

"I can't believe you cheated!" Luffy huffed, hands on his hips after the end of the contest.

Uta giggled, scrunching her fingers at him again like she used to as her smile stretched across her face. "I didn't cheat! I'm just playin' the way a pirate would. You're a pirate aren't you?"

This was wonderful—wonderful! It felt just like it had back at the village, back when it was the two of them playing and talking about their dreams every night they were in town. Their old contest, the rivalry, the well of affection she'd had bottled up for years!

"Well, maybe, but, ugh!!" He stuck his tongue out at her, stretching it long. "I guess you still like the pirate way after all!"

After his momentary frustration, he threw his arms around her in a hug.

Uta hugged him back, her arms looping around him and holding him tight as she burrowed her face against his shoulder. "Seems t-that way, huh?" she murmured against his neck.

Even after so long pushing that down, maybe she still had that pirate's spirit buried inside her heart? Was that—was that a bad thing? 

"I'm glad," he said softly, tugging at her hair. "Oh yeah! Hey there was something I was supposed to ask you about."

Uta lightly poked at his back, the smile still wide on her face as she just—relished the contact with someone she'd cared about. She'd been here for so long, just her and the people of Elegia—she'd missed this.

"Yeah? What is it?" 

"We were just wondering if there was something weird about the island," he told her earnestly. "We have a friend, Violet, and I guess she passed out and said there was something up with it?"

Uta's eyes widened as her heart nearly stopped. 'Something weird about the island', a guest had passed out? Her brow furrowed in concern. 

"...do you know why she passed out? I don't know what about Elegia would make her pass out like that! Did she just get too much sun? Or—she said it was the island?" 

Luffy scratched his neck and looked back at the others as if looking for input. "Uh, she said she was blind? And there was something wrong with the island. And then she passed out. She has a devil fruit power?"

Law leaned over and explained. "She's got a devil fruit power, yeah. Basically she can see everything. Within a certain radius she can extend her 'sight' to cover it. She tried checking up on her sister who's somewhere out there on the sea, and she yelled she was blind and passed out—it sounds like something was interfering with her devil fruit. Maybe seastone or something."

"Seastone??" Uta's brow furrowed. "We don't have any of that on the island. I mean—it'd get in the way of me, too."

"Oh yeah," Luffy nodded sagely. "I bet you like, wouldn't even be able to sing at all if there was seastone around. So it must be something else."

Doffy stepped over from nearby, cocking his head. "So you don't have any idea what could cause it? Well, our doctors will just have to get better at their job, then."

Uta bit her lip, her brow furrowing as she looked between them. She had an idea—admittedly she did. There was a nagging part of her that told her that even if she trusted them she shouldn't say a word, though.

"Well—it's possible that another devil fruit in the area is interfering with it?" she offered. 

Luffy cocked his head. "You think so? There are a lot of people on the island!"

Doffy stroked his chin. "That's a fair point."

Uta clapped her hands together. 

"That's right—lots of people and lots of devil fruits—the problem is devil fruits is you never know how they're gonna interact with one another, you know?" She pointed to Luffy. "Like—I dunno, maybe your stretchy power would malfunction in the face of something that rubber doesn't like." 

Luffy wrinkled his nose. "I guess."

Luckily, Uta had a way to dodge the rest of this conversation. She was going to have to get back on stage any minute.

She gasped out loud. 

"Shoot—I have to get backstage and get ready for my next set!!!" She grabbed Luffy's hands tightly "Luffy, I'm so glad we met again, and I'm so glad I got to meet the crew. I—" she hesitated, looking over her shoulder at the stage. 

Luffy squeezed her hands. "I know you gotta do your concert thing. We can talk more later, right? I'll tell you if we find out what's up with Violet!"

"We'll talk more later! Let me know what you find out, ok?" She smiled fondly at him. "---and maybe we'll talk more about that offer you gave me. I really like your crew…a lot." 

-

Headed back from Uta's dressing room to the bridge, everyone was naturally talking about meeting the pop star, and her contest with Luffy, and what might have been up with the island.

Luffy had pulled Sanji aside with a big grin. "What did you think now that you met her in person?"

"She's a hell of a girl, Luffy! I'll say that much." Sanji grinned back at him. "---didn't know how much like you she was until the two of you started goofin' around. Wouldn't have expected it, but—she makes it look good." 

"Makes eating chicken look good?" He stuck out his tongue. "I looked better! She cheated!"

Still, he laughed, hanging himself around Sanji's shoulders.He wrapped his arms around him with a wry smirk around his cigarette.

"Captain, captain, you both looked gorgeous. But she did cheat—which is surprisingly pirate-like behavior for such a sweet lookin' girl." He took a long drag off his cigarette "and I gotta respect her showmanship and dedication on the stage—but how are you feelin? Excited that she's back in your life?" 

"I'm really excited," Luffy nodded. "I hope she's really gonna join our crew. I think she will! She acts way more like a pirate than a pop star."

-

She acts way more like a pirate than a popstar!

Bepo overheard Luffy's conversation as they walked the long, winding way through the concert grounds back toward the bridge.

He wasn't wrong! Meeting Uta had been shocking– though not in a bad way at all. He glanced around the group, everybody seemed to be in a good mood for the most part. Hopefully this thing with Violet wouldn't turn out to be such a big deal…

He looked Law over, gauging his mood.

Law didn't seem to be in a bad mood—he had a kind of bemused expression on his face as they left Luffy behind with his crew—contented and happy, though with that edge of worry for Violet still lingering.

In fact, he seemed kind of amused by that whole conversation with Luffy. "I can't believe he's trying to recruit the Grand Line's biggest pop star." 

"I'd say maybe we can snatch her up first, but…" Doffy trailed off, laughing. "So that was Uta. I like her even more, now."

"But Luffy would lose his shit if you stole his big sister?" Law smirked at Doffy as they walked. "That was Uta—honestly, same. I didn't know what to think of her besides her music—but now that I met her? She seems like a hell of a gal." 

"I'd love to ask her more about her thoughts on the world government," Doffy said, idly. "But I didn't want to kill the mood, huh? And yeah, don't wanna set Straw Hat off by stealing his sis. Fun addition as she might be.""

"Yeah," Bepo nodded thoughtfully in agreement. "As long as Violet turns out to be okay everything is going pretty great."

Law patted him on the back with a smile. 

"Damn right—-and if it really is just a conflict of devil fruit powers, then she should be fine once she wakes up and realizes that something isn't, like, actually wrong with her." He looked up at the sky with a wry smile. "and Doffy, it's a three day long concert, I'm sure you can snag her for a little more time to talk about that kinda shit." 

Doflamingo chuckled. "If she's not too busy doing her pop star things. No, you're right. I'm sure she'll have a little bit of time for lil ol' Doffy."

"I—" Law was about to continue when suddenly a voice cut through the crowd. 

"---CAPTAIN??!" The warm, slightly scratchy feminine voice was incredibly familiar to Bepo, even if its source wasn't immediately visible. 

Bepo's ears flicked, orienting toward the voice. It was a familiar voice. A voice he hadn't thought he'd ever hear again.

He turned. Surely he had to be mistaken.

Law's brow furrowed. "That sounds like—"

All doubt was chased away when an unmistakable young woman shoved her way past grumbling concert goers to lock eyes with Law–and then with Bepo.

Dark, coiled hair bounced around Ikkaku's face as she stumbled to a stop with her hand to her lips and a wide-eyed expression of surprise. 

"I thought I'd heard your voice—I'd thought—you actually…." She was wearing something new, not the boiler suit of the Heart pirates, but a black crop top and a pair of loose fitting pants cinched by a belt containing a bunch of completely empty tool loops, .but it was the same Ikkaku, right down to the tears welling in her eyes as she said "I thought you'd fuckin' died! Both of ya!" 

"Ikkaku??" Bepo couldn't believe his eyes. She'd thought they were dead? They thought that she was dead. He looked between her, and Law and back again in complete shock.

That was when he noticed the crowd behind her. More of the Heart Pirates! Almost all of them!

Law froze where he stood, and Bepo saw the smile light up his face. "...I'll be damned… I'll be DAMNED! You guys—almost all of you! How the hell did you make it?"

Ikkaku held her arms out towards them. "Bepo! Captain, you wouldn't believe how much of a shitshow it was down there! We barely survived—I got dragged through the fuckin' ocean! But—but…"

She hesitated, and then turned to the others. "SEE? I told ya Law would be fine, you limp dicked morons! Now we can all go back to bein' the Heart Pirates!" 

Now Bepo looked between Law, and Doflamingo, and the Heart Pirates with a sinking and conflicted feeling in his belly.

*pirouettes in again* Hello hello! If you're up for it, for the kink ask game, may I request Smoker and Drake with Cum Marking, Voyeurism and Formal Wear? Thannkssss your headcanon are giving me life <3

Oh you are always welcome <3 \o/ My favorite clumsy trash panda xD

You know, I really REALLY wanna add Sir Crocodile to this, so I hope you don't mind me including him at the end ^_^

I am admittedly, unsure about your inclusion of "formal wear" in this context, but I have some (I believe) solid assumptions, so I'm going to go with my gut - and if you had something else in mind, don't be afraid to speak up!

Alright let's do this - I'll save my personal indulgence until the end XD

X Drake:

Cum Marking - FUCK Yes - Neither of you are sure if it's a him thing, or part of his devil fruit. There's just something in his eyes when he cums on you. Your back, your thighs, your stomach, your face, it doesn't matter where, so long as it's there and he either rub it into your skin or watch it dry. It's like being sure that his scent is on you, whether someone else noticed it and took heed or not was on them, he was just content to know it was there.

Voyeurism - Yes - Primal play concerns him because he's worried about losing control of the instincts in his devil fruit. That said, watching you is a little like stalking you - pre-hunt kind of stalking, and it gets his blood pumping whether he wants to admit it or not. But you're only for him to watch. This isn't a show for others, and he's not sharing his prey.

Prey that knows they're being hunted, certainly, there's no way you're accidentally giving him such a beautiful show.

Formal Wear - Sure - He's not against getting dressed up, but it's not high on his list. Pirate's son to marine to undercover agent, he's just never cared for the red tape of formal occasions in general. Certainly he looks good in a suit - so does everyone, and you look amazing dressed up, but you look amazing naked underneath him. The wrapping matters little, but he will admit that slowly slipping those delicate pieces of clothes of you. Making you stand there as he unbuttoned, unzipped, and undressed you, carefully setting the expensive pieces aside before devouring you whole.

It wasn't a bad change of pace.

Smoker:

Cum Marking - Sure - On you, in you; for Smoker it doesn't matter so much. What marks you best is the scent of his smoke. He smells like his cigars, you're not entirely convinced the cigars don't just smell like him, since he is smoke. However the lines blur is irrelevant. He'll mark you however you want him to, and he has stamina enough to be sure you're thoroughly covered in cum and smoke by the end of it.

At the end of the day there'll be no question you're his.

Voyeurism - FUCK Yes - He works long hours and there's little more that's more relaxing than watching you while he gets to sit back and enjoy the show. The first time you waltzed into a room buck-ass naked, going about your day like you weren't bandying about nude and told him he was always welcome to look he took it to heart.

He enjoys everything from watching you do little chores around the house, to laying yourself out in all your glory and giving him an enticing show. He'll even watch you at times you aren't completely certain he is - but whenever there's a chance that he's watching you privately you always give him a lil' show.

Formal Wear - Yes - He's not a big fan of dressing up, but he'll endure it (and look damn good in the meantime) in order to see you all done up alongside him. He certainly enjoys getting you out of your nice clothes than he does seeing you in them, and if you've been teasing him all evening - whatever the occasion may be - then you better help him undress you if you like what you were wearing.

He's generally a patient enough man, but he's not gentle enough to promise that he won't just rip that wrapping aside to get to what he wants.

Sir Crocodile:

Cum Marking - FUCK Yes - Every way that he can mark you, he wants to. Covering you in the heat of his sand, in the wetness of his pleasure, in the scent of his cigars - biting you, lining your body with the red marks of ropes and crops, even more permanent adornments like tattoos and such. Marking you inside and out with his cum might be the most temporary option available, but he's no less into it. You're his, his prey, his love, his partner - others can dare to lay their eyes upon you, but they'll know you're his.

If their smart, they'll even sort it out before they get on Crocodile's bad side.

Voyeurism - Oh god you don't even know - Let him watch you. Let the world watch you for all he cares. So long as your actions are for him, and your noises are because of him, he doesn't care who else sees. Put on a show for him, by all means. Every curve and turn and twitch of your body belongs to him, and if you're lucky, it's because you've given it all over willingly.

It may seem like he's being gentlemanly, when he stops himself from touching you before you're ready. It may seem kind and smooth for him to close the distance while waiting so patiently for your reply before he devours you. In all honestly, he's completely fine just watching you. Watching you struggle, watching you move through thoughts and decisions, watching you slips beneath the grains of sand that make your stance unsteady.

Again and again, he'll lay his trap. Wait patiently. Purr at you softly and reassuringly. And then smile like the beast he is, as you walk yourself into the waiting jaws that will never release you again.

Formal Wear - FUCK Yes - Crocodile looks good. He looks good without a scrap of clothing on, but the man knows how to dress. He has good taste, and he'll have you both the center of attention no matter where you go. To Match without matching, to dress so elegantly that you ride the line of simplistic and overstated with such skill that magazines have declared new trends in your honor (and his).

But more than seeing you dressed so perfectly, he loves to just rip the clothes from you. He has the funds to have you perfectly dressed again the next day. Hell, he could have whatever you want completely replicated, as often as you like, but the tattered remnants of what you had been wearing will fall to the floor. His patience doesn't exist for unwrapping you, and anytime he manages to show a kindness to your clothes it is completely for your sake that he restrains himself.

... I went a little hard at the end, but um, I had thoughts.

Thank you…(´人｀●)SOOOOO━━＼(´∀｀●)／━━MUCH!!

[greeneyedsigma]

Imagine Kuzan is actually the bad guy.

Imagine a man so arrogant and narcissistic that he can’t imagine being anything less than the Golden Child. A man who chooses the way of Lazy Justice because it’s easier to arrange the pieces in a way to fall where you want them to.

A man who seduces, marries and “settles” for fem! Smoker because he can’t have fem! Kizaru, the woman he thinks he deserves. Who he leaves behind, pregnant, when he leaves the Marines and who he hurts to try and get her back. To control her. To control his son.

A man who fought for the right to be Fleet Admiral only because he wanted the power and not because he thought he could do good or because he was concerned with what Sakazuki would do.

A man who hates Sakazuki so much, his pride in so many tatters after he loses their ten-day duel on Punk Hazard that he callously releases a list of active-duty SWORD members to Morgans, knowing fem! Drake is infiltrating the Beast Pirates. Because she is Sakazuki’s adopted daughter. Because it will hurt Sakazuki.

So desperate to hurt his enemy that he encourages Blackbeard to kidnap Sakazuki’s youngest child, Hibari.

He will be his own downfall.

Because after Kuzan decides to go after his kids, Sakazuki will destroy him.

Ultimate AllSan Bracket

Hello Sanji fans! We here at Sanji Lovers Inc. (Maddy, me, and Three, @fivedayslater) feel that since Tumblr is entering it's poll bracket era, and we finally have polls, that it's time for the Ultimate AllSan Bracket

We have 32 entrants competing for the greatest prize of all: the heart of our beloved Sanji.

In true tournament style, our competitors have been ranked and seeded by number of fics their ship with Sanji has on AO3, since that's as good a number as any, I guess.

The finals will start February 12th!

This post will be the master post and will be updated as we go along as long as I remember

First, some questions I'm sure you all have:

"Who the hell ships [X]/Sanji?" Us. We do. Me or Three or both of us ship Sanji with every character in the bracket. Because our minds are so Big and Sanji is so Shippable. With that in mind, while you can certainly support and promote your favorite ships throughout the tournament, bashing of ships will not be tolerated. If you do, we will cry. And we may block you. Because of the crying. So don't do it.

"Where's Zoro?" Dunno. We gave all the competitors the time and the place, but for whatever reason Zoro hasn't shown up yet. Maybe he got lost...

"[X] ship is problematic because-" Not a question. Also don't care. Sometimes you ship fictional characters together even though you would hate the idea of it irl because it's all fiction and it's interesting to think about. You don't have to vote for them. This whole thing is just for fun.

Without further ado

"'I'm just a cog' An analysis into the curious ideology of unclear justice and the real world parallels and questions it poses"

どっちつかずの正義 or Dotchitsukazu no Seigi, literally translating to unclear justice is one of the marine ideologies I have been curious about since we are introduced to the various marines and their mottos. It provides a curious introspective into this enigmatic character

On closer look, there is a sense of irony in Kizarus character. He is a light man, but is slow in his mannerisms. He shines brightly but prefers to stay hidden. He's the most proactive admiral but also hates the toll of work the most out of all

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 All these serve to make him difficult to read. However, in between the moral justice of the likes of an aokiji and the extreme absolute justice of an Akainu, there is something terrifying about that Grey area in between and brings up a long debated sociological topic Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 the numenberg trials, involving the trial of a lot of high ranking nazi generals , consisted of a lot of individuals claiming that they were not truly evil. Most famously Adolf eichmann, who did not deny his place in the holocaust, however used the excuse that he was simply a cog Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 In theory, this would make sense, as the superiors such as Hitler would hold higher responsibility for the orders. But then you wonder, would this individual admit to their acts being deplorable if they had lost? Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 Coming back to one piece, it goes to what doflamingo says about the prevalence of justice and how justice is decided by the winners

This therefore makes the just following orders people the most disturbing of all, as they seem to only tip to the side that seems to be favorable at the time Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 Now coming back to Kizaru, we see that he has many sociopathic traits. In his first appearance, in trying to kill a couple of pirates who attacked him, he destroys a couple of civilian blocks, possibly killing several civilians in the process, but not particularly caring.

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 When it comes to Kizaru, I think there are many inferences we can come to. Kizaru is certainly aware of the corruption and issues of the world government. He is strongly aware of what they do and those they wrong. However he chooses to overlook them. Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 Why you may ask? Because making a change in the world requires terrifying amount of ambition, grit and pain. Someone like aokiji has completely detached from the navy and even become a criminal, because it gives him the platform to stand for what he believes in.

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 Akainu fights aokiji, someone who he actually holds respect for, to near death, so he can become the fleet admiral and make his own vision of the marine force. These two individuals have something they believe in and fight for. Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 However Kizaru, to me, is one of one piece examples of textbook sociopathy. He knows what the world is, and unlike someone like smoker, has the power to make a stand, but doesn't, because it is convenient for him.

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 The world government, with the marines as their face, have ruled the world for at least 800 years. They have determined what it means to be 'good' or 'evil' for all this time because they are the ones that reign Supreme. As such, Kizaru just aligns with them.

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 It is scary to have someone like this, because like any sociopath, they hold little empathy and hold few genuine allegiances.We can see how Kizaru is more than willing to kill Dr vegapunk and sentomaru, who are like family to him.Or when he has no qualms with nearly killing Drake

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 He is a symbol for the deep darkness in the human heart. If given the shadow of someone, humans are capable of all types of horror. The lack of hesitation to end human life or to show empathy on the basis of a 'higher power', is one flaw that has existed throughout human history Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 This is why Kizaru is the admiral for instance, sent to saboady. He is more so a weapon than he is an actual individual. But weapons are unstable and it is curious to see how Kizaru responds in a situation where the world government no longer hold the major initiative.

· Aug 3 Overall, in Kizaru, I see a man who in his attempt to find freedom in an oppressed world, has dulled his empathy and fully committed to being a cog in a working machine, rather than the wheel that spurs the cycle of change.

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 There is a popular saying, with great power comes great responsibility. Kizaru as a character could be seen as a real world introspective. Many of us have the power to do something, be greater and be better. But we choose not to, because it will cause us some discomfort.

Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 Dissimilarly though, he is also an introspective into a sociopath, a deeply self centered man, who is given a platform to act freely, while not having to take responsibility for their actions or draw any major attention, because they hide themselves as part of a larger group. Phantom @ThePhantomStra5 · Aug 3 Now this thread was not to tell you that he is evil or something. Clearly Kizaru does have some sense of morality. However it is his reason for enforcing said 'justice', along with his general apathy towards certain factors that make him a sociopath.

this adds to the idea of sanji vs kizaru since kizaru is a soldier who just follows orders like the germa 66 guys a sociopath

ooh character thoughts for smoker !!!

How I feel about this character: twirling my hair he's soooo. Where do I even begin. His moral compass? The way he sticks to his own ideals despite everything? His whole gruff-with-a-heart-of-gold personality? What might possibly be the best character introduction in One Piece (god I hope OPLA keeps the ice cream scene, because it's, like, super important characterization)? Oh, and whoever left those tags on that one anime polls post saying that no one does masculinity like him was so right

All the people I ship romantically with this character: TASHIGI but I also like the idea of him and Hina and Drake being a thing, in some way, when they were younger. That one meme from Élite that is girl kissing one guy, then another guy, then flipping someone off while the guys kiss... them as teenagers to me. Also honorary mention to that one time I literally woke up in the middle of the night with the thought "what if Smoker/Tashigi/Hina" and immediately opened ao3, though this, like in case of Franky/Robin/Brook/Jinbei, is me taking a load-bearing OTP and then building the rest upon it

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Hina! I recently reread parts of Alabasta and their shared scenes are just so good. Also that one manga cover where they're bar-hopping rewired my brain. I like to imagine Hina is the responsible one when it comes to their job, making sure he doesn't get in trouble for telling their higher-ups to go fuck themselves or something again, but then they go out and he's the one making sure she doesn't drink too much or get into fights or hit on married women. I love them

My unpopular opinion about this character: I've seen people say that he's written as being too weak, constantly losing to other characters and stuff, and that might be me being the furthest thing from a powerscaler, but I really don't think that matters. He's not supposed to be a powerful adversary to the Straw Hats or anything, he's there to be their reluctant ally and also have his own character arc fighting for actual justice instead of the status quo. For these roles he's doing fine, idk

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I don't have a clear idea of what will happen with the Marines as an institution by the end of the series - whether it will continue to exist in some way or not - but I think it would make sense for him to quit, especially if he's to side with Luffy again. I can't imagine him as a pirate, but I could definitely see him joining the Revolutionary Army or just doing his own thing protecting the civilians as a kind of a vigilante.
