#ch 1058

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

mihawk’s former epithet as mentioned by crocodile, 海兵狩り/kaiheigari (‘marine hunter’), is only one kanji different from zoro’s 海賊狩り/kaizokugari (‘pirate hunter’).

I did find it kind of odd that everyone else was only celebrating Sabo being alive with this hanging over it but Dragon’s really the only one to mention that if the news is true about Sabo killing Cobra he’s not okay with it.

Dating App Mishaps (Ch. 13)

Ship: Alex Blake/Reader

Summary: Alex didn't have Tinder by choice...but that doesn't mean it isn't going to come in handy.

Word Count: 1058

"I think I'm going to throw up..." you said, rubbing a hand nervously across your stomach.

Lennox rolled her eyes, making absolutely no effort to hide her exasperation. "You are such a drama queen," she muttered.

"Am not," you grumbled, pouting childishly.

She shot you a pointed look in the mirror. "Why are you being such a baby?" You opened your mouth to retort, but before you could get a word out, she interrupted, "Isn't this like...everything you've ever wanted?"

"How do you figure?"

"You've spent the past month and a half whining about how you want to play kissy face with your situationship milf and now you finally get to and you're being a gigantic pussy about the whole thing..." she explained.

Your jaw hung open a moment or two as you struggled to come up with a reply to that that wouldn't make you sound like even more of a child. Much as you hated to admit it, Lennox wasn't exactly wrong...and you had a feeling she knew it. "Look..." you started to protest.

She didn't let you get very far, though, before interrupting, "Nope. I'm not going to listen to any more whining. Either do something about it or shut the hell up."

With a little huff, you crossed your arms over your chest, pouting more dramatically than ever. "I don't know why I'm friends with you..." you grumbled, though you certainly didn't mean it.

Lennox just laughed because she knew that was your way of admitting she was right.  And, seeing how it was usually the opposite situation (i.e. you providing her with sage advice about romantic melodrama and not the other way around), she really enjoyed your consternation at having romantic melodrama.

When you arrived at Alex's apartment, you had to admit that you were nervous as hell.

This was the first 'date', as it were, and you really really really wanted it to go well. You weren't afraid to admit that you were hoping that if it did go well, she might start to look at you as more than just a fuck buddy... But first and foremost, you had to remember that this was all an act for the sake of keeping up appearances in front of her ex-husband.

When she flung the door open, your jaw almost immediately hit the floor. She was dressed in a pair of skin-tight jeans and a billowy white peasant blouse that showed off just a hint of the bra beneath. You were practically salivating. Sure, you'd seen all the skin hiding beneath, but she looked so fucking sexy just then that you were having significant difficulty reminding yourself that you had somewhere to be...

"Everything okay?" Alex asked, a small smirk playing about her lips, causing you to realize you'd been silently staring for far too long.

You plastered on a smile and nodded. "Shall we go?" you asked.

It wasn't until you were in the car on the way to her ex's that she spoke up again. "We should get our stories straight..."

You raised a brow. "You mean like...how we met and stuff?"

She nodded. "Lies live and die by the detail," she said cryptically.

"Okay..." you said slowly. "Can we just say we met on Tinder?" You could tell by the face she made that she had reservations about that, so you were quick to add, "We can say I messaged you first...surely that will make him feel some kind of way?"

"I suppose..." she said slowly.

A beat. Then, "You know we don't have to go..." you said. "We can make up some excuse and..."

"Do you not want to go?" she asked, studying you as she pulled up to a red light.

You shrugged. "It doesn't matter to me, it's just... You seem like you, I don't know, don't want to be seen with me?" Your voice got progressively smaller and meeker as you spoke until it was barely a whisper.

A moment of brittle silence followed.

Shrinking in on yourself, you mumbled, "It's okay. I mean, I get it. We're hooking up. It's not typically something you broadcast to..."

"That's not it," she interrupted.

You blinked a few times, dumbly silent, as you turned her words over in your mind in an effort to make sense of them. "What, umm... What is...it?" you asked, hating just how slowly your brain seemed to be functioning.

"Have you looked in a mirror lately?" Alex asked, rather incredulously.

Frowning, you knit your brows in confusion, entirely uncertain as to what she'd meant by that.

She gestured between the two of you as if that clarified anything. "There's no way anyone in their right mind believes that you and I are an item," she explained.

"What? Why!?"

It was her turn to seem confused and skeptical. "Like I said, have you seen what you look like? Because you're unbelievably gorgeous...and I'm..." She trailed off with a little shrug.

With a little huff, you cocked your head to fix her with a pointed look. "Alex, do you know why I matched with you in the first place?"

Cheeks pinking slightly, she admitted, "I assume you were taking a shotgun approach..."

Narrowly resisting the urge to roll your eyes, you said, "I hadn't matched with anyone in well over a month before you. Partly because I don't particularly like Tinder, but moreso because I hadn't seen anyone that I, you know...wanted..."

"Wanted?" she repeated. You gave her an extremely laden look. "Oh." A beat. "Oh! Really?"

"Alex, you're so fucking sexy and it boggles my mind that you don't seem to see that," you said. "If anything, I don't understand why you'd want to be with someone as young and unworldly as me."

In the next moment, Alex unexpectedly steered the car into a nearby parking lot. You felt your heart leap into your throat, unsure what to expect, but doubting it was anything good.

Throwing the car into park, Alex fixed you with an expression full of heat, then pulled you into a searing kiss...

Mobile Spoiler Guide

Most of the posts on this blog are gonna be spoiler-free, but if I'm ever discussing a topic relevant to a specific arc or in a level of detail that would spoil earlier storylines, I will place a spoiler tag. I've decided to have one major spoiler tag for everything after the live action and specific tags for every arc afterwards so that anime/manga fans can block spoilers for every arc they haven't reached yet individually instead of having to block anime/manga spoilers as a whole. Arc-related spoiler tags will be listed here with their chapter and episode numbers for a better overview. There are spoiler tags for the (major) movies, too!

Please let me know if this works for you guys as a spoiler system! It's the safest and most inclusive I could think of, but maybe you have a better idea for me.

[the-frizzle-fry]

Everyone around Luffy can do all this weird shit right? Well what if all these face vaults and stretchy eyes and on fire bodies are all a side effect of hanging out with Luffy?

What if he is effecting the reality around him by accident. That would explain all Oda’s Tom n Jerry stuff over the years. And not just, “Well it’s Oda’s style.”

[ninhaoma-ya]

Chapter 1058 — New emperor

I really like the ambiguity of the title. Are we talking about Luffy or Buggy?

Of course the answer is “both”.

But still. Nice title.

And then, for the chapter itself!

The cover story is amazing. I wonder what Caesar and Judge will cook up once (if) they meet? And also; why hasn’t Caesar flown away? Is there some restrictions on his powers so he can’t simply fly as he pleases or is his gaseous form stuck in the sugar-coated candy-sphere of Whole Cake Island?

Yes, Jinbei, fear the Wrath of Nami.

Franky’s new hairstyle… really suits him? And what is Usopp doing in the background? He looks to be hiding in some sort of barrel?

But the bounties! The bounties!

Looks like increases of 300 million overall.

Everyone’s reactions are just so on point! Poor Chopper, finally getting an assignment (doctor) but not getting to be one of the commanders (pet). I love it. And the Franky-Sunny hybrid is just too much. Where did that even come from?

Usopp’s eyes are just creepy. Let’s leave it at that.

And then, the heavy-hitters!

Robin has my heart. She’s so sweet.

Although there’s the eternal fight going on between Sanji-bros and Zoro-stans, Sanji has regularly had the fourth highest bounty, not the third. Robin was the third for a long time after Alabasta (who was higher than Zoro as well at that point, with 74 to 60 million) and then Usopp climbed up after Dressrosa, with 200 to 177.

Finally, I really like the juxtaposition of the mighty emperor, locked in his cage to really think about what he has done.

And the second emperor!

Buggy being Buggy. The panel layout below the large main panel really brings out how trapped he his between the two mighty forces.

Mr. 3 did forget about the whole “I’ll leave you to be eaten by the bananadiles because you are a failure and I only took you on because you are so cowardly I was sure you’d weasel your way out of difficult situations”-attitude Croco-boy had going on for him, huh?

I’m not sure what to think about Buggy’s crew’s characterisation either. In the beginnin they were loyal to him: seeking far and wide when he was blasted in the East, even formulating a (half-arsed and -hearted) plan to break him out of Impel Down. Yes, they did abandon him once Alvida pointed out they’d die, but they still had it. And now? Are they here just for the fest, ignoring the famine? Even Daz Bones

Funny however, that Croc-croc is the one to follow if change in leadership is necessary, not Mihawk. Some have charisma and some don’t.

Buggy, for some inexplicable reason, has.

Mihawk has wine and books, which is better.

I do object to the forced money-lending scheme. When would Crocododile have had the chance to lend him money? In Impel Down? Mihawk would have been a more natural candidate since they were shichibukai together.

And some nice panel parallels with Buggy once more stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Last but not least: the flame of the revolution lives on.

And Koala remembers her own childhood.

The shading in the Kuma panel is just beautiful.

The marines still seem to be somewhat on top of things – they know where the revolutionaries headquarters are and they have some sort of intelligence gathering going on. Wonder what else they know?

Good chapter over all. I enjoy these slice of life chapters. I give it a raise of 300 million and the strength to come back.

[capisback]

Genuinely what is up with this. One moment they're sobbing their eyes out over news we assumed meant Sabo was in trouble but ended up being a supposed assassination, and the next Dragon's like "if he did do this"? Why in the world would Dragon even assume Sabo did it? And what's with the contrasting reactions? It's just plain weird

[shysheeperz]

Keep spreading that Nami CoC agenda, Jinbe!

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

zoro and sanji's new bounties both include their birthdays! zoro’s birthday is 11/11, and sanji's birthday is 3/2 which is also a joke on his name: san is ‘three’ and ji can be ‘two.’

[turtletoads]

noo dont hurt buggy hes just a wittle clown noooo

[larkreadsop]

Mihawk’s taking a very rational approach to this and he probably has a point that letting Buggy take the spotlight might be the best thing for him, but I love that even at this stage he just wants to be alone and do his own thing.

[mangamob]

[amphinogiz]

I might have redraw my fav panel from the ch 1058 hehe
