#That Luffy in the third panel is PEAK Luffy. The BEST Luffy I have ever drawn. Look at him. THE SKRUNKLY

Okay but consider. Your World Tree AU. But Sanlu :)

Anon I want you to know I dropped everything I was doing and scrambled to my computer to draw this. I hope you're happy. What have you done

Also silly bonus:

Requested by @waskonedo-ttf ! Sorry it took so long haha, Heres a breakdown of the Strawhats' body languages when they arrive at Little Garden! (Primarily ch.115)

First off I wanna say, Little Garden is probably the first "normal" arc when it comes to this (in regards to everything in this post). I would say Whiskey Peak is, but there was no actual enemy there; it was all to set up plot and introduce characters. No climax and resolve on that island.

ANYWAYS! On w the post!

Vivi you will quickly learn that luffy is pretty much Never worried. This is a very cute panel uwu

Pretty much sums up the entirety of the crew's attitude to landing at LG, it becomes very common for when the crew lands at a new island. It's nice to see Nami be more laid back for once, Vivi has taken her place for this. Nami is usually nervous abt something with the log pose, or this thing happened here, or X many enemies are waiting for us, etc. It rlly is nice to se her be like....not panicking.

Vivi, of course, was in Nami's shoes but with good reason. Her comrad is supposedly dead, her kingdom is practically fucked, she's prolly never even Met such a small pirate crew like this one. Of course she's freaking out a lil bit! She learns to adjust tho so it's ok

I also appreciate Sanji not obsessing over the girls for once

(This is the first page of the chapter, I got em mixed up haha)

They're all looking forward to landing! They're bonding !!!! Aaaa I love this page

I just noticed that luffy is foreshadowing mr.3's bullshittery later

This is the goofy arm dance u were talking abt right? Lookit this excited babye. My face hurts I'm smiling way too much at this it's so cUte sksnjendwjshshd

I think I know what you mean now by saying the whole crew reacted pretty differently upon arriving at the island! Gotta say, that's not...entirely true? Since they kinda split up into 3 groups of two based on each others plans.

Obviously, Luffy and Vivi were one group, and left to explore since they were curious of the environment (or more like Luffy was and Vivi just made sure they didnt die; this plays out very similarly to how Nami handles things). This is all very typical of their personalities. The dinosaur thing is super goofy and really highlights that fact.

(Evidence that Vivi is there partly to keep Luffy in one piece) (haha I made a pun)

Sanji n Zoro didnt stay together of course, but they were the next group. They left mostly cuz they're stubborn idiots with undying competitive spirit..oh yeah and gathering necessities. They're pretty careless of the environment itself, they just wanna kick eachothers asses, as per usual. That doesnt ever change throughout the whole arc, but it does stop being their focus due to uhhh Zoro becoming a wax statue and sanji fucking off elsewhere (I think this was when he infiltrated the Baroque Works' plan and that was irhdidjjxjs AWESOME)

The third group, of course, was Nami and Usopp, who were too scared to leave the ship. I feel like they've been ridiculed by fans for this behaviour, but honestly they're the smartest group here. They obviously aren't as prepared to fight, which is honestly fine considering their roles on the crew (Usopp cant be excused as well for this but it's a personality thing that he grows out of throughout the whole series), so they stay to guard their stuff together. This is unrelated, but dude Nami and Usopp have like, the BEST bromance. They're so cool and supportive of eachother it's so heartwarming akejwksjsjd I am weak.

Sooo yeah ! That's the entirety of the chapter really. Nothing unusual here, just your average strawhat brand of shenanigans and bullshittery. Vivi fits in so well its :)))

This isnt exactly how I thought this post would go, mainly since i originally thought I'd talk more abt uhhhh how messed up the arc gets over time, and how this whole chapter made us have Very Different expectations for the arc. Sorry if this isn't exactly what u wanted, there wasnt a whole lot that stood out to me but I really enjoyed rereading this chapter! Thanks again!!!

For future reference, if others wish to send in a request you can submit a panel or send an ask for any questions or recommendations. I just ask that you include which chapter(s) the panel/scene is in, it would help a ton!♡
