#early Nami design

[unionfatal]

she did her best not to think too much, somehow she had lost interest in almost everything, including looting. But it had nothing to do with all she had been robbed of; it was just that everything suddenly seemed a bit stupid–the island, the way the sea sparkled, the smell of fish drying, the clementine blossoms up on the hill, the dog’s barking… everything.

I’m bored, she thought, her scars itching.

Today, the warm, soft breeze blowing from the sea was particularly unbearable.

BIG DISHONORABLE MENTION FOR THIS WORD CHOICE. Zoro does not call Nami a “scheming woman.” What is with the translators making Zoro into a complete hater towards Nami?? Vivi says she can’t understand what Miss All Sunday is thinking, and Zoro replies “we’ve already got that type of person on this ship.” He never said anything about women at all! If you think of someone on the ship whose thought process is completely incomprehensible…

…HE’S TALKING ABOUT LUFFY.

One thing that always puts me off watching/reading OP is the character designs, mostly for the women.

Like the red head, Nami? I think? At the start of the series she looks fine and cute, but I’ve seen recent stuff and ??? Organs whom?

I know you like it but that’s just very off putting for me.

oh trust me, it's something that bothers a lot of people

on top of that oda also has a kind of same face problem with female characters

[ashored]

○・ﾟ would you watch documentaries about the ocean with modern nami....

[clumsyraccoon]

My two cents about OPLA: I'm honestly curious and intriguied to watch it. When it was announced I was very sceptical about it, with all the "how can you adapt such a silly manga into real life entertainment?", but as soon as the official trailer has been dropped, I found myself kinda hooked. At the beginning it was very strange to see real actors pull out all those silly moves (even with the classic shouting-out-the-tecnique-name anime thing XD), but the more snippets I saw the more I was convinced. Especially from those little behind-the-scenes glimpses I've seen: I can clearly see the cast is believing so hard in this project and they've put all of themselves into it. And, well, I don't know wht, but I'm growing fonder and fonder of Taz/Sanji: I do really hope he will soften the more perverted side of Sanji and will give us more of the true gentleman he is, because I think Sanji, polished from the perverted-man-jokes, is a very good character. I like him so much and very curious and hopeful about Taz interpretation of him.

Nami will wear one of her early designs in the One Piece Live Action!!

nami and her early design

[otaku553]

Hi I am back at it again with the crossovers

Thinking very hard about the persona games lately,,,,,,

So I will admit this was just an excuse kind of to draw them modern au style with the shujin uniforms lmao I do not actually have concrete story ideas because while I do think luffy would definitely be team leader and probably a wild card I think if he were in the setting of p5 he probably wouldn’t get arrested just by sheer force of will (and probably ample amounts of legal help from high places given his family)

But thinking about it, the straw hat crew is about the right size for a persona team?? And they’ve got a navigator with Nami and everything! I think early game luffy would be a physical attacker with lightning immunity, zoro would have garu as a starting attack and slash attacks, and nami would have zio as a starting attack but mostly be geared towards support and navigation. Still no ideas what their actual personas would be though

I do want to expand on this with more of the team! I think it would be fun for Sanji to be a kosei student and franky, brook, and robin to be in their third year at shujin. Brook would definitely have some affinity for ice, but im not as sure about franky or robin. Chopper would maybe be homeschooled under Dr. Kureha and a year or 2 younger than the rest of the team

Anyways this piece is just a small proof of concept for what I’m visualizing in my mind lmao the designs aren’t finalized or anything. Do let me know if you have any ideas for their personas!

40y/o zosan where Sanji's a movie star and does modeling from time to time (as some actors do) and Zoro who's a stuntman/teaches actors how to do their own stunts.

At first everyone is all "Aw, how cute, they became besties after working on a movie tonight like 20 years ago and now they go to premiers together? How cute, bestie goals haha", but only because the whole cast rotates like in Wes Anderson movies. Same main actors with different settings.

It's always Luffy, Nami, Sanji and Jinbe on the screen. And Franky and Usopp as technicians and scenographers, Robin as a consultant for historical inaccuracies and costume designs, the music is always written by the legendary Brook and it's always produced by Chopper.

But then fans started noticing that it's not only Tony Tony Chopper movies. Sanji invites Zoro at almost every event. In fact now that they look at him more closely - Sanji's wearing what looks like a wedding ring. But then again, he wears jewelry because of the fashion trends.

That is until someone makes a post about how well each of them ages and they notice something...

Zoro used to have three dangling earrings. Now they're two. And Sanji didn't have a ring until after Zoro was left with only the hook of one of the earnings.

It's all just crazy fan theories, plus Sanji loves women, anyone who knew his early career can tell you that much. That is... until Sanji likes one of the "crazy fan"'s post. There's screenshots of his liked posts and threads about what it might mean.

But all hell broke lose when the very next day Sanji posts a screenshot of his dm's with no caption or tags.

Marimo: [link]

Marimo: wtf is this shit cook?

Cook: our wedding ring

Marimo: why did you like the post???

Cook: I want to announce our fifteenth anniversary

Marimo: YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WANTED IT TO BE A SECRET

Marimo: fine just screenshot this and post it with no context or whatever

And then almost half an hour later a second screenshot comes along

Marimo: THAT WAS SARCASM

Cook: you don't use sarcasm

Cook: should I post a picture of our wedding as proof? Some people don't believe the screenshot

Marimo: No

Marimo: who cares if they don't believe

Cook: I do :((

Marimo: ...

Which was followed up by a post from Zoro's account that was a picture of Sanji smiling and holding Zoro's hand, showing off both their rings.

You and Zoro were long term workout partners. When one night a conversation with Nami and Robin lead to you questioning your feelings. You avoiding him led to some unexpected events.

You and Zoro had a routine. You would finish dinner, each head to your designated rooms to change, and meet at the gym. The group knew Your routine well, and everyone would wish you guys a good workout after dinner. Eventually, you and Zoro sat down together for what started with every meal, but it created a habit of doing every activity together. You couldn't help but notice how relaxed he was around you, laughing and placing a gentle hand on your knee, being overprotective and putting his arm around you telling the clingy cook to back off, and always 'accidentally' rubbing his thigh with yours when you two sat next to each other. You were in denial at first, but Nami and Robin broke you, they made you admit the truth and make you spill.

"So....y/n, when do you plan on telling us that you like that stupid mosshead?" said Nami in a condescending tone. You were taken aback and felt your heartbeat increasing drastically as she asked her questions out of the blue, "Um what do you mean? I never said I liked him." Robin let out a soft laugh and said, "Y/n we can tell from a mile away, although he is too dense to realize it" You felt your palms get sweaty as the nerves rushed in, as you looked away from them and confessed, "Ok yes, I like him but I don't know how he feels about me, so please don't say anything." Nami looked like she was about to burst out laughing but Robin gave her a subtle glare telling her to keep quiet, "Don't worry y/n we won't say anything..right nami?" Nami was on the brink of losing it but managed to give you her confirmation. That conversation happened after a workout and it make you doubt everything. What could have caused that reaction out of Nami? Was it really that pathetic that you liked Zoro? You let out a frustrated sigh while you attempted to sleep.

-

That next morning you didn't follow the usual routine. You woke up extra early and greeted Brook and Sanji. Sanji being his usual excessively romantic self, "Good morning Beautiful y/n~swannn" You give a soft good morning back and giggle as you sit down far away from where you usually sit. Sanji realized immediately "Changing the scenery madmoselle?" You look up at him "Yeah Chopper told me it's good to change things up every once in a while" He smiled with the cigarette in his mouth saying "Yeah get away from that mosshead or you'll start being contaminated by him" You only let out a soft laugh but it stung your heart with what he had said. You weren't left alone in your thoughts for long though as you heard your captain barge in yelling "Sanjiiiiii gimmeee food!!" along with Chopper and Usopp also demanding food. Sanji quickly shut them up and told them to wait at the table. Not long after, the seats were all taken up except for one on the complete opposite side of you, looks like Zoro slept in. You had Chopper and Robin next to you, Luffy at the head of the table, and Franky with Usopp across from you. You were feeling content, gossiping with Robin and Usopp, and laughing at whatever crazy thing Luffy was doing to make Chopper laugh. You could feel the energy change once you heard a gruffy "Mornin' " Your eyes were glued onto him, his beautiful messy morning self. "Oh Good morning Zoro!" said Chopper's gleeful self, "About time idiot," said Sanji from the kitchen as he came out with all the plates. You made slight eye contact with Zoro as he pulled out the only remaining chair across the long dining table. You could tell Zoro was disappointed at the fact he had to sit next to Brook and Jimbei and not you.

Breakfast felt excruciatingly long, as soon you were done you excused yourself making up some lie to leave. You could feel how his eyes trailed you, after breakfast, you would watch him practice his swordsmanship. You always pretended to read a book, that you've probably read 100 times. But you couldn't bring yourself to do it today. Just by looking at him, he made your entire body feel as if it was on fire. So instead of being outside and gawking at him, you were curled up in your bed reading a book Robin lend you. Although your mind couldn't focus on anything but him. After a while, you slammed the book shut and ran your hands through your hair, you felt silly for caring so much about him but at the same time, it was eating you alive. You couldn't stop thinking about Nami's face when you admitted your feelings for him in front of her, could it be that he was also interested in you? Nope, you thought to yourself, you guys were just good friends he was overprotective that's all.

-

It was dinner time, and you spent all of today rotting in bed and feeling anxious as your mind wouldn't stop making up all sorts of scenarios with Zoro. Thankfully, this was the last time you would see him today. You ate your dinner so fast, even Luffy was distraught "Guess you were hungry today y/n" he says with a bubbling loud laughter. You felt a bit embarrassed but nevertheless it was better then having to act normal with Zoro when your feelings were all over the place. You rushed to your bed, not knowing you would keep this up for a week.

A whole week had passed, and no one really said anything anymore except maybe Chopper's innocent curiosity. You had been tormenting yourself for a week over this. It was finally Friday night and you decided to treat yourself and let loose with some sake. You hadn't realized how much you drank until you went to pour yourself some more and nothing came out. You came out of your room, checking that the coast was clear, so you could head into the kitchen and get rid of the sake bottle. You scurried into the kitchen, as you left you saw the gym, the light was still on, which was unusual for him at this hour. You felt your senses heightened with the sake, feeling a familiar burning in your chest with each thump from your heart. You felt your body instinctively walk over to the gym, as you were climbing up you were aching to see Zoro.

Once you reached the door, you opened it and got hit with a wave of heat and humidity, he quickly looked over to see who was there this late at night. He was a bit startled but quickly proceeded with his workout "What do ya want?" He said focused on his form. He was doing chest press with an obscene amount of weight. You walk up to him innocently saying "You" He damn near dropped the weights right then and there but he persisted, "After ignoring me for a whole damn week? Bullshit" he said grunting and finishing his last couple of reps. You felt the guilt burn and settle in your stomach, you closed the gap between you two as you bent down and kissed him, faces facing opposite directions. He was still mid-rep lying down on the bench as you bent down to kiss him. His shocked eyes only being able to see your chin from the angle you kissed him. Your lips melting with his, and the lingering taste of sake was driving him insane. He quickly set the weight back on the rack. You pulled away and he pulled out of the bench.

"Y/n are you drunk?" Zoro asked with a light blush on his cheeks, you bit the inside of your cheek a bit "Maybe a little.. but I've been wanting to do that for months...I guess the sake just gave me the confidence to do something like this, but I promise my feelings are genuine..." as you confessed his face was unreadable. You couldn't tell if he was shocked, disgusted, or happy. But suddenly he pulls you in for a hug, although he is sweaty you don't mind and hug him back, heart racing to wonder what he's trying to convey. "You're such an idiot y/n..." You look up at him as your face is resting on his bare chest and ask "W-what?" he smiles at you fondly and rests his forehead on yours. "I like you too you big idiot...but let's talk about this when you're sober," he said in a soft kind tone observing your face as you were taking in his confession. Your heart was racing and couldn't tell if this was a dream or reality, but he snapped you out of your thoughts as he told you, "Let's go back to your room, I'll help you walk back" You smiled at him giving him a soft okay, the sake having taken over your body. After Zoro walked you over to your room, he sat in a corner and waited for you to fall asleep, so he could fall asleep shortly after.

-

It was the next morning and your throat felt so dry and you felt your headache, instantly regretting drinking that bottle of Sake. As you rubbed your eyes you thought to yourself how you'd be avoiding sake for a while, you looked up and saw Zoro sleeping in a corner and the sunshine was hitting his face lightly. You immediately recalled everything you did feeling embarrassed by your actions, but happy that he did feel the same. You smile fondly to yourself before turning to your nightstand to see the time, but seeing a water bottle and some hangover pills. Your chest felt warm with an overwhelming feeling, you smiled softly as you opened up the water bottle and drank the pills, you were calm until you heard him. "Mornin' sweetheart, how you feeling?" you turn to face him and nearly choked on the water and pills "Good morning... did you leave these for me?" You felt your cheeks fill with heat as he yawned and smiled at you "Yeah I did, I saw the empty bottle of sake and I knew you'd be needing that, so I asked Chopper to give me something to help last night." You were extremely grateful for him still helping you out even after your embarrassing actions.

"Well...thank you Zoro, I definitely did need them, and I'm sorry about last night...I really didn't want to confess to you in that way but I already did all those things yesterday and I can't go back now" You told him feeling a bit flustered at the recurring memory of how bold you were and how his lips felt against yours. He laughed and walked over, sitting beside me on my bed "That was quite the confession, I have to admit...it was pretty funny and you damn near killed me mid-chest press." I heard him laughing and I looked away feeling bashful "I'm truly sorry, god I'm such an idiot..." He smiled at you and saw the genuine expression on your face as he got a bit closer to you and cupped the left side of your face he stared into your eyes with a tender look on his face before he asked "But you did mean everything... and that's what counts, plus I like my women a little bold." You laugh and instinctively lean into his hand, "Well you'll have to keep me away from Sake if not I'll be too bold and reckless" He laughed at you and rubbed his thumb on your cheek, "It's alright sweetheart, I promise I didn't mind what happened last night, in fact I enjoyed it, it was a completely different side of you."

You smile softly and you feel grateful that he did like your drunken confession before you can say anything else he speaks up and says "Hey let's go eat breakfast, it'll help out with the hangover" You smile at him and nod, getting out of bed and he waits for you at the door. You two held hands walking over to breakfast.

-

It was an uneventful day after breakfast, you felt better once you ate a hearty meal and took a shower. Zoro and Luffy had been training all day because Luffy wanted some more practice as he hadn't been in an intense battle for a while. You saw them earlier and felt your heart flutter when Zoro gave you a fond expression, although it was a small interaction, it made your day. It was past 9, you had eaten dinner and you were in bed reading another book, a candle being the only source of light you had. You then heard a soft knock, you were curious as to who it was at this time since most of the crew sleeps early. You made your way to the door and opened it slightly, noticing a tall muscular, and familiar frame. You look up at him and he smiles at you "Hey sweetheart, mind if I join you?", your heart beating a little faster, he hadn't spent the night in your room (formally) before so you did feel a little nervous, but you quickly invite him in.

He quickly made himself comfortable, took off his boots, and lays on your bed, on the opposite side where you were lying at. "What are you waiting for sweetheart? C'mere" he asked in a pleading tone. You giggle and go to lie down with him. It wasn't the first time you two had laid down together or even slept together, as you two would constantly take naps together on the deck. As soon as you lay down, he wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you in closer "Mmm much better..." he inhaled your comforting scent. Your heart was beating rather quickly but still leaning into him "You miss me today?" you said in a mocking tone, he sighed softly enjoying the comfort and heat that your body provided him as he spoke in a soft tone, "Yeah... I did..., we confessed to each other and I didn't even have time to properly ask you to be my girlfriend."

You felt heat rush to your cheeks and asked him "How about you do it right now? it's just me and you...just how you like it" He smiled "Alright but...I want to be face to face with you" He says sitting up in the bed. You follow him shortly after, eye contact has never felt more intimate, and you were anticipating his question. He grabbed your hands and looked you right in your eyes "Y/n, you know I'm not great at my words but, I would love to have you by my side...so, will you be my girlfriend?" You giggled at his confession, enjoying his awkwardness as this sort of thing is way out of his comfort zone, but still appreciating his genuine effort. I gripped his hands a little tighter as I saw his face full of anticipation and curiosity wondering what I'd say, "Of course Zoro, I'll be your girlfriend." He immediately smiled, all of his anxiety melting away and he let go of your hands pulling your face in for a kiss.

You instantly melt into his kiss, quickly developing into something more intense and full of desperation as he slips his tongue into your mouth. Your tongues swirled together and you felt the heat of his tongue intimately within your mouth, savoring his flavor. His hands grab you by the waist and quickly guide you to straddle him as he's sitting up in the bed. His hands rest on your waist, as he pulls you closer to him and never letting go of the kiss. You pull back needing some air as Zoro's tongue dominates your mouth, as you pull back, a string of saliva follows and you see Zoro's flushed face. "Fuck...baby you taste so good...I need more" he said hands still gripping your waist tightly. You looked at him with glossy lips, "Zoro...I've been thinking about doing this for so long...." he blushed lightly and said in a suggestive lower tone "Oh yeah pretty girl?... What else have you thought about?" You didn't expect him to be so bold.

You looked at him and gave him a sly smile "Hey it's no fun if I tell you, how about you find out for yourself..." He smirked enjoying how you weren't going to give in so easily. "Alright sweetheart...I'm taking this as my personal challenge" he slid his hands further along in your shirt before going down to your waist again and his face approached your ear and he whispers "Can I take this off sweetheart?" he said slightly tugging at your shirt. You quickly nod and he makes quick work of it. He stared at your exposed torso with admiration "You're gorgeous... such a pretty girl." Before you had time to acknowledge what he had said, you felt his big calloused hand grab one of your breasts and bring it to his mouth. His mouth sucking on your sensitive bud and slightly teasing it with his tongue. You arch your back as a reaction, putting a hand behind his head slightly pulling on his hair,"Fuck...Zoro." He moaned as you pulled on his hair, teasing you slightly more as he gently bit down on your bud. He pulls back looking at you with a lustful expression, "I want more... take these shorts off..."

You followed his command, getting off the straddled position and getting out of bed, making easy work of your shorts and panties. He had gotten up as well, sliding off his pants and boxers. He walks over to you, both of you exposed and in a more vulnerable position, he places a big hand on your waist ogling at your body. "Like what you see baby?" you tell him in a cocky tone, you saw just how big and excited he was, and you hadn't even done anything to him yet. He chuckled softly "Yeah...act all bold now sweetheart, you'll regret that soon enough." You scoff "Oh yeah cause I'm soo scared, what will you do?" He pulled you in for a rough kiss and moved you onto the bed. You fell onto the bed and he hovered over you, he let go of the kiss "It's not fun if I tell you" he said with an arrogant smirk as he quoted what you said earlier. You give him a soft smile accepting defeat, "Touche."

He inserts two thick fingers in you, feeling the slight burn of the stretch and he's watching your face the entire time, not wanting to miss a single second your expressions. "So wet sweetheart..." he smiled feeling just how coated his fingers were with his elixir. Your gripping onto his arms at the sensation and slightly moan "Fuck.. Zoro...need you." He smirks at your plea "What was that baby? Couldn't hear you?" he said with an arrogant tone watching how you're already a mess with just his fingers. You glare at him "I need you Zoro...please all of you" you beg and with that he removes his fingers, temporarily missing the feeling of fullness, as he starts aligning himself in your entrance. You felt the warmth of his tip as he covered it with your slick. He takes his gaze off of the lewd sigh to look you in the eyes, "You ready sweetheart?" You could feel the desperation of desire taking over as you were with your legs spread out around his waist, "yes Zoro...please" you sounded even more needy and whiney than anticipated.

With your confirmation, he slowly stuck his tip in watching your face as you adjusted to his wide and large length, "Feel good baby? Or do you want me to go slower?" You take a deep breath trying to handle his full length as he's slowly inching forward, "Yes baby...feels good just like that." He let himself go fully inside you and rest a bit before pulling back slowly to thrust back in slowly you let out a soft moan as you felt your tight velvet walls gripping onto his cock. He groans at the pressure you have around him, "Mm...Sweetheart...so tight" I moan as he starts thrusting faster, feeling the burning of the stretching feeling more intense but still feeling ready for more. "Zoro...faster" He watches your needy expression as you ask him for more and he immediately does as you ask, going at a faster rate. The faster thrusting made it feel as if the tip of his cock was hitting your organs, you were moaning louder now, if any of the crew were to pass by your room they would definitely hear you, but you really couldn't care less. The way he was pounding on you now, the lewd noises of my slick and bare skin clashing against each other. You were holding onto his arms for dear life, slightly digging your nails into his biceps as he took full control of your senses. He's quietly grunting and admiring your expression as your breasts move up and down with each of his thrusts.

"So beautiful like this... Jesus y/n" he said as he took a good look at everything about you, the way your lips are slightly parted and moaning his name, your hands on his biceps gripping them, and your cunt making his cock entirely glossy with your slick. "You take me so well y/n...such a good girl for me." His gentle praise and the feeling of pressure with each thrust make you feel closer to snapping. "Zoro...fuck..go faster, please...I'm so close" he starts going faster, feeling himself get lost in pleasure as you moan his name louder and grip his biceps. With a couple of faster strokes, you felt blind by how hard he was pounding in you, you felt your legs start going weak and you were throbbing in pleasure around his cock. He felt the way you were throbbing around him "Fuck...y/n" he couldn't say much as his climax was right after yours. You felt the warm spurts coat your walls, he was slightly biting his bottom lip as he fucked all his cum in you. Your legs were trembling as he continued to fuck you through your high as he was growing through his. You were breathing heavily as he slowed down, you still felt how his cock was slowly throbbing in you. He comes to a stop as he's fully done climaxing, he looks down at you into your eyes.

Your heart was racing, both panting slightly as you were coming down your high, he kissed you tenderly before slowly getting out of you. You felt as his seed slightly spilled out but he just laid right next to you in bed. He took a couple minutes before getting up and finding a little cloth you had on your desk, as he wiped his seed off clean from you. Then he went right back to laying down next to you. Pulling you closer by your waist he softly smiled, rubbing your back affectionately "That was amazing sweetheart...you should've drank that sake a long time ago" I softly laugh as I feel the heat rise back to my cheeks at the thought of my spontaneous confession and I poke his cheek playfully "You shouldn't have been so difficult to read moss head."

With that he laughed and took your hand, kissing it lightly before looking at you with a tender gaze, the candlelight in your room making it feel more intimate before he softly said "I love you y/n..." Your heart feels like it is about to burst but you slightly compose yourself and answer sincerely "I love you too Zoro..."

who remembers this outfit?

NEW ONE PIECE TRAILER LET'S GOOOOO

we got the roger execution scene!!! he looks fantastic, and he did SO well with the speech!

there's an older marine in a suit standing on the execution platform and i'm like 95% sure it's garp???? and if so, i love that they made that decision, hell yeah, it makes SO MUCH SENSE

luffy's little "Mutiny" joke when he asked the news coo to join his crew and it flew away....i found that way funnier than i should have 😂

the scene where luffy paints the first version of their jolly roger!! i loved it SO MUCH especially with the little detail of him having paint splatters on his face 🥺iñaki has impeccable luffy vibes and i can tell i'm gonna adore him in this role

we got to see buggy's devil fruit in action! i'm surprised they didn't lean more into the body horror aspect of it, but i still adore buggy. i wasn't sold on his hair last time, but it looks a lot better in this trailer tbh.

there's a scene where it looks like garp's ship is firing canonballs at the straw hats? which, unless it's a misdirect due to clever editing, that's a bit surprising that we get an altercation so early in the series. though i doubt they'd reveal the relationship between luffy and garp this early on in the series...hopefully

the scene where sanji is fighting kuroobi is really interesting because it looks like it's taking place in the baratie! my best guess is that they're overlapping baratie and arlong park a little? maybe nami spent too long away from arlong park so he sent kuroobi and/or chew to go fetch her back, instead of her voluntarily betraying the straw hats?

on that note, we get our first look at the fishmen, and they look surprisingly decent!! i don't have any complaints about their designs, and i'm a huge fan of arlong especially. no signs of hachi though...🥲

we finally got a sanji voice line, as well as some banter between him and zoro which was hilarious!! looks like they let taz keep his british accent, which i know some people were curious about last time.

the scene of nami sitting next to bellemere's grave 😭😭😭

"you're my captain. from now...until the end" HELLO? I'm gonna be PHYSICALLY ILL. I love him so fucking much, I'm never gonna get over this fucking line. I'm guessing it's probably after the mihawk fight

we got a good look at both mihawk and shanks! they are both, of course, absolutely stunning. Yoru looks really good too

the CGI on luffy's arms when he's fighting against arlong looks a LOT better than what we saw in the previous trailer against alvida!! it's a bit reassuring. i guess that one scene was just weird because of how much they were focusing on it. they probably did it that way because it was the first time we saw luffy really use his power in the series so they wanted to make a big deal of it

the scene where shanks puts the hat on baby luffy...😭😭

maybe i'm a bit late but in the logo, where it has luffy standing in the nose of the jolly roger, i only just realized it's manga luffy and not iñaki 😂

we got a good look at Coby!!!! Morgan looks absolutely flawless, they were definitely the right choice for the role. Also, in the last trailer we got a split second glimpse of Coby when Luffy was punching Alvida and his hair looked pale blonde due to the lighting, which I was a bit sad about. Glad we got to see in this trailer that they did actually keep his hair pink! phenomenal!

Glass Chandelier

Link to chapter 1

Link to Chapter 3

Warnings: swearing, slightly suggestive content

Chapter 2

Sanji had promised himself he would never look at a woman in this way, yet here you were making his mouth water. Your hips dip down with each step you take, the plush of your thighs and ass melting into your waist so nicely. He wonders what it’d feel like under his palms but quickly shakes the thoughts away. If Patty wasn’t just fucking with him, you’d be back there tomorrow night too.

The interaction spins in his head over and over again as he separates seaweed and rice into bowls, focused on making each rice ball the perfect shape as he molds it in his hands. It proved to become increasingly more difficult the longer he thought of you though. One interaction as you consumed every waking thought. He had planned to be here on the ship with his newly made friend and his not-so-tolerable first mate but here he was...

According to Luffy, he was dying when he had come into the restaurant before opening and needed help. Though the morning's events had been in his head, you were wedged in here somewhere, the possibility of you being in your designated booth, the dim light making you look even more beautiful. God and your voice? He could melt whenever those honeyed tones slipped past your glossed lips.

Nami stomped in, a panic set in her eyes as she explained Arlong had threatened a few of the guests and part of his stomach sank. What if you were in here. What if he had threatened you or hurt you or-

Luffy is already heading out the door and Sanji doesn't stop himself from following close behind.

It's bad...the bite is deep and the open wound is bound to get infected if he doesn't work quickly. Your eyes are watery and he curses himself for not being able to protect you, even if it's not his job and he really had no idea you would be here this early. Hell, with what he saw, you didn't really need protecting. You fought well, your attacks were calculated and swift. Like an angel... a very violent and precise angel.

He fights the urge to kiss your tears away, opting to lift you gently at the waist and onto the counter. Your hands are slightly clenched at your side as he grimaces at the blood-soaked towel. Your skin is so soft, littered with small faded scars here and there. Its warm under his touch and with the way the kitchen light hits it, it shimmers almost. Your eyes are low, focusing on the movement of his hands and forearms as he moves.

He knows you're staring but he opts not to point it out. He can't blame you though seeing as he's staring right back at you. The way your lip tucks slightly when he touches a particular tender part. How your skin is already forming darker bruises. It angers him but the fight is over now and there's not much else to do but recover. Your legs swing slightly and he smirks at this, how cute. He doesn't even know your name... And the question slips past his chapped lips so easily.

"Why, you wanna take me out on a date?"You tease, looking up at him from under long lashes, that sneaky little smirk playing at your lips.

Gods that sounded delightful. The vivid daydream of you on his arm while he pushed the hair from your face and kissed the back of your hand before you entered some sickly sweet date spot. How you'd swoon and shoot his flirts back with vigor. But no one actually says that to a woman they've never met. So Sanji opts to compliment your abilities as a fighter.

His index finger lifts your chin, and he's pleased to witness the color rise to your cheeks and your breath catch in your throat.

"You just took on 3 fishmen who were twice your size.I wanna know who I'm thanking for that." He speaks, looking you up and down. Little does he know, the action makes you heat.

If Zeff's exasperated sigh and grunt didn't pull him away, the frantic request to help from Usopp did and he was out of the kitchen before you could properly answer.

_______________________________________

Luffy lays helplessly against the doc, breath heavy as he tries to take in as much air as his lungs would allow. Nami was gone, and so was their map. The crew was falling apart at the seams and it didn't look as if there was a bright side, besides being alive that is. Sanji heaves, chest rising and falling as water falls from his soaked hair and down his face.

"Holy shit-" You huff, somewhat losing the limp in your walk as you approach the group of 3. "Is he okay?" You question, choking a bit when you peer down at Sanji's kneeling frame. So that's what was under that nicely tailored suit.

He only shakes his head, unsure, pushing the wet hair from his face. Sanji's gaze lingers for a while as he looks at your injury.

"Bleeding stopped. I'll live." You answer, feeling the gaze of the third party, a dark-skinned boy with a bandana, looking for answers through your short conversation with the blonde.

You grunt, using your dwindling strength to lift the curly-haired straw hat wearer up. Sanji helps as 'bandana' trails behind.

The ship wasn't too far ahead, and thank god it wasn't because despite how he looked this child was heavy as fuck. He managed to pick up some of his own weight along the way and in no time you were aboard the ship.

"You're a great fighter! You should join our crew you know." The boy who you'd learned was Luffy spoke, surprising you a bit.

Join a crew? His crew? As a pirate? Quite frankly it wouldn't be the weirdest thing you done. Spontaneous sure, but not odd. It was like the Baratie was hiring any time soon and your line of work had slowed since being at this restaurant for the last 6 months. You needed to pick up the slack and this last fight had shown just how rusty you'd gotten. However, being on a boat again...

"He asked me the same thing." the blonde hums, seeing you process the request.

A chuckle escapes you and you lean against the island in what looks like the kitchen as Luffy and 'bandana' leave to lord knows where. It wasn't much of a concern of yours when you were watching blondie throw a towel over his shoulders, just barely covering his arms and chest.

"Made your choice yet?" You quip, tucking your lip between your teeth.

He smirks, stepping closer as to fill the gap between the two of you. His hair is not as wet as before but it's still slightly damp. You can't help but look at his shirtless frame, hell any woman with a libido and type like yours would be drooling too.

He's genuinely thinking of a response, as if he hadn't quite made up his mind yet about the whole pirate thing. In your head, it would prove to be quite the adventure and perhaps you'd be able to see what the blond had prepared in terms of trying to court you. He'd already tried his hand, touching you just slightly here and there, his lingering gaze starting to burn you up.

"You made yours?"

Your fingers dance across his forearms, making note of the way they tense at your touch. Soon they're at his collarbone and down the line of his chest and torso.

His skin is so damn soft. How is that even possible. When you gaze up, his face is tinted and you can tell he's holding his breath.

"I'm still debating." You answer, head snapping n the direction of the new sound that had just interrupted.

"ZORO!"

The two of you make haste in traveling to where Luffy's voice rang out and sure enough there he was, very happily squeezing a very injured man in a relieved hug.

According to the very sloppy recap from the guy you learned was named Usopp and Luffy, this new guy 'Zoro' had decided it was a fabulous idea to challenge former warlord and infamous swordsman Dracule Mihawk.

The man laid before you was a bit taller than the blonde and a bit slimmer? You didn't focus much on his figure but the bright green hair sproutng from his head. He only spared you a small glance before closing his eyes back.

"That's gonna leave a pretty gnarly scar." You comment, arms crossed over your chest as his brow twitches.

"Better than having a chunk out my shoulder."

Touche

Luffy embraces the swordsman and his body tenses, a wince of pain spreading over his face. You cant help but smile at their bond. someone so loyal to their captain heyd fight death...and someone so loyal to their crew they'd keep them tethered...someone so supportive they have your back even if it kills them to do so.

"I had the strangest dream than Nami left." Zoro speaks, his eyes cracking open in somewhat disbelief.

"Nami?" You quip, brow raised.

"It wasnt a dream. She left with the Arlong pirates. And she took the map. Now we we have to save her." Luffy explains, a twing of hurt evident in his voice. Zoro doestn question it, only closing his eyes and taking a heavy breath..

"Im sorry, who is Nami?" You whisper to the blonde, brow raise slightly.

_________________________________

The ship is quickly stocked with barrels of food and drink for the journey ahead. You'd already packed up the little bit of life you had and successfully tossed it aboard. Usopped rolled barrels as Zoro sat, three swords against his hip. You do what you can, pushing barrels here and there but Sanji is quick to make you sit when he sees this.

"Why do we need the waiter?" Zoro chirps from beside you, seeing as that's where you opted to sit.

"Because we cant boil water." Usopp responds as you sniker.

Zoro was less than talkative, the occasional heavy sigh filling the air. If you were to stay on this ship filled with testosterone until you arrived wherever 'Nami' was, you needed to make some friends. Even if it was temporary.

"Three swords is a choice. Wheres the third one go." You question, observing them a bit better now since you were seated next to him.

"You talk a lot." he answers, eyes closed, face still.

"You don't talk enough." You shoot back, crossing your arms over your chest.

This guys was such diva.

"You not too fond of blondie I'm realizing." It was only meant as an observation but that was enough to slightly open the conversation.

"I tolerate him for my captain's sake. Besided, apparently we cant boil water. He'll be at leat a little useful for something."

There’s a bit of silence before he speaks again, his eyes practically piercing through you.

“What’re you useful for?”

What an odd question. Sure you had skills in the fighting department. The little personality you had left felt like it left your body when you chose your profession…not like it was your choice.

You’d joined the crew in hopes the blonde would too….subconsciously that is. You were still trying for to fool yourself into thinking you hadn’t fallen for him in the slightest. You were wrong.

What are you useful for.

The ship begins to move and you also decide to remove yourself rom the swordsman. Any more questions and you’d be internally debating your entire existence fooling around with this goon. Perring over the ships edge a wave of dread hits you.

When’s the last time you set foot on a boat? Your wrists and ankles twinge a bit, a bitter memory making your stomach turn. Just because you suppress a memory doesn’t mean your body will forget it.

Perhaps this was a poor choice

The origins of gyaru possibly go back to the 1980s when all-girl biker gangs ruled Tokyo’s streets. Their hardcore style, attitude and rites of passage like graduation ceremonies, very much remind us of the gyaru of today. Even more so they embodied a rebellious spirit, now referred to as gyaru maindo (gyaru mind). The magazine “Teen’s Road” that brought this biker style to small town schoolgirls. Over time, leather jackets and boiler suits with kanji lettering became a more mainstream trend and real biker girls got angry at posers! Teen’s Road eventually ended because the staff were “tired of being physically assaulted by the readers” and some biker girls were even kidnapped.

At the same time, elite university clubs were throwing parties in Shibuya with organisers known as chiimaa (teamers). These well-to-do chiimaa regularly hit the dance floor instead of hitting the books. Chiimaa’s girlfriends mimicked LA beach style and earned the nickname paragyaru or “paradise girls”. Paragyaru didn’t know yet but their dress sense would inspire what was to follow in the 1990s,

Kogyaru (“ko” meaning “little” or “kid”) appeared in the 1990s. The name is believed to have originated as bouncer slang to describe the high school paragyaru girls who tried to sneak into clubs by dressing older. Affluent high school girls with chestnut coloured dyed hair (chapatsu), short school skirts, designer uniform blazers, oversized cardigans and modest tans were the trendsetters of the time. Loose white socks and white eye makeup were the cherry on top! But why were high school girls wearing their uniform after school? It was actually a popular ploy for rich schools to entice new freshmen with the fashionable designer uniforms. Girls wanted to be seen wearing their blazer and skirt after school as a marker of style, school pride and as a symbol of youth.

High schoolers eventually took over department store Shibuya109. Anything bought there was considered kogyaru style, like crop tops from Me Jane and Esperanza platform sandals. Many of the first kogyaru began to work at 109 shops becoming well-known gyaru fashionistas, dubbed “super charisma clerks” (スーパーカリスマ店員). Celebrities like singer Amuro Namie with her natural kogyaru appearance placed gyaru style into the mainstream’s consciousness. She had a natural Okinawan tan, light brown hair and wore white lipstick. Her stage outfits mimicked 109 style, and so Amuro fans thinned their eyebrows, wore chunky platform boots and colourful belly tops in admiration. That earned them the nickname Amuraa (Amuro admirers) which crossed over with gyaru style.

In 1995, Egg magazine launched as the number one source of gyaru fashion and lifestyle. After all, gyaru didn’t care what others thought about them and they took pleasure in being loud, sex-positive and even developed their own slang. Egg magazine took street snaps of kogyaru who sometimes went on to become regular models, for example Rumi Itabashi and Kaoru Watanabe. Meanwhile, purikura launched in 1995 with the idea for business professionals to take miniature portraits of themselves for their business cards. No one foresaw them becoming super popular in gyaru culture, with pages and pages dedicated to them in Egg.

Adults were worried about Japan’s declining national character in the late 1990s. Kogyaru with their gyaru mind ethos were targeted and chastised for their alleged practice of enjo kōsai (compensated dating). Growing up with new tech like pokeberu (early pagers) and terekura (telephone clubs), these women gained more independence but also new ways to wreak havoc. For example, terekura were created to connect men and women who wanted to date. But when kogyaru called in to the terekura, they set the men up on a date just to stand them up.

Teenage girls were also widely viewed as serial shopaholics. People thought that they wouldn’t think twice about selling their worn underwear to businessmen for money! Even though only a handful of kogyaru did this, the media didn’t care! Kogyaru were the face of “shameful” public morals. But the more the media covered enjo kōsai, the more schoolgirls congregated in Shibuya’s streets to make big bucks! In the end teenage prostitution became associated with kogyaru style.

After a decade of kogyaru mania, new substyles and gyaru circles emerged. One of the most prominent gyaru circles was Angeleek. Angeleek primarily wore a style of gyaru called ganguro, which were gyaru who darkened their skin. Other substyles like mamba and yamanba evolved out of ganguro. Yamanba wore the darkest foundation they could get their hands on, wore extreme white eyeliner, harsh nose contour and decorated their cheeks with gems and flowers. They liked tropical, beachy clothes and floral accessories. It was dramatic and yamanba were impossible to ignore! But by the early 2000s there was a sudden decline in these more extreme styles. Due to the style’s unsavory reputation, girls turned to other substyles of gyaru or stopped being gyaru completely. Egg even took a break from publishing for a few months. Was this the end?

Not exactly! Egg and other gyaru magazines returned as the mid-2000s brought about an unexpected gyaru renaissance. In 2005, another magazine called Ageha was launched. It was aimed at gyaru Hostesses who called their style agejo. By 2008, gyaru was thriving and there were so many genres of gyaru and the style became more popular internationally. Styles like hime-gyaru, hime-kaji, onee-gyaru, rokku-gyaru and ame-kaji entered the scene. Tsubasa Masuwaka, a prominent gyaru figure at the time, was featured on both gyaru and non-gyaru magazine covers. She also launched a makeup and false lashes line called Dolly Wink which is still popular today!

The late 2000s to mid 2010s saw a more laid back toned-down look. Gradually, girls lost interest in the style and Egg and Ageha ceased publication. Gyaru brands followed the magazines by toning down or rebranding. In 2014, Alisa Ueno’s brand Fig&Viper was dubbed as neo-gyaru in an article by ViVi magazine which sparked some debate. Many gyaru did not view this brand as gyaru and Alisa Ueno herself admitted that she never called her brand neo-gyaru.

Not many other styles have lasted as long, or made so many comebacks. From the biker gangs of the 1980s to the yamanba of the 2000s, gyaru fashion has gone through many changes. Some even claim we are in a post-gyaru era! Will it ever become a mainstream fashion again? Who knows, but in the meantime we’ll be rehearsing our Para Para dance moves!

Ps if you don’t want to read all of that here is some YouTube links!

Some thoughts on the female crewmembers of the Kid Pirates? How do they interact with a big balls guy like Kid? 😅 I mean I see him threating women more disrespectful with a lot of ass grabbing 🤪

I honestly think Kid treats the ladies the exact same way he treats the men. In saying that: the kid pirates need a HR for sexual harassment from kid. He probably gets smacked a lot.

I do have a lot of personal headcanons though for what the girls are like! Behold:

☠️Kid Pirate Female Headcanons☠️

SFW under the cut 😊

Also including what I think their weapons would be!

Dive

I can never decide if she's a kid, or if she's just a short adult. The heels and fishnets make me lean towards adult, but then again her rolemodels for her fashion is the other kid pirates so she might not even realise how provocative those clothing items are. Either way, shes a fucking gremlin. Anger issues to boot but also so very happy go lucky, her mood can flip like a coin. We've seen how excited she gets for battle, I think she love love loves fighting. Shes a nuisance but everyone loves her. Has a massive stuffed animal collection (regardless of what her age really is)

Weapon: teeth

Hobbies: getting into mischief, swimming

House

Little old lady who is sick of everyone's shit. And by old I mean like, late fourties, early fifties perhaps. Ship doctor, but in a witch doctor sort of way. Big fan of dr kureha for sure! Has that same flippant, usually drunk on the job sort of personality. Everyone loves her though, shes the matriarch of the crew, and the commanders always ask her for advice. I headcanon she's related to Heat, perhaps his aunty. I like to think it was her that stitched up his Glasgow smile. She probably didn't want to be a pirate, but as the oldest she probably knew better than everyone what a shit show their home island was. Perhaps after all that gang violence maybe Heat is the only family she has left, so she naturally followed him out to sea.

Weapon: stays out of fights, but keeps a pistol on her just in case

Hobbies: collecting vintage medical journals, witchcraft

Hip

Most casual of the girls. Quiet, little bit stoic, bit of a tomboy, probably goes by she/they. Prefers to hang with the more masculine men on the crew, cos she'll gag if she has to listen to Quincy talk about makeup. I actually headcanon she's related to Killer, given they're both tan and blonde, and from the same island (probably, at least I headcanon all the kid pirates sailed out together), maybe cousins even. Strongest and the best fighter of the girls, everyone uses her like guard dog when they wanna go out. As the guard dog shes usually the one to smack Kid when he gets too handsy with one of the girls. He's a little scared of her tbh.

Weapons: the wiki says she apparently has two swords, i think dual weilding short blades would suit her

Hobbies: electric guitar, fishing (she likes the quiet time to think)

Hop

Bad bitch alert!! She's hot and she knows it! Bit of a stuck up bitch but she has her soft side. Gets along best with Wire. Considered the most stylish on the crew because somehow she makes even plain clothes look good, and everyone always wants her fashion and hair advice. I sort of imagine her to be like Nami, very obsessed with money and shopping, and a big time lesbian. Keeps her nails long and sharp as shit, and has a very impressive collection of knives. Her and Hip are very scary when they work together.

Weapon: wiki says she has a sword. I imagine her having a really delicate, slim sword, like a rapier

Hobbies: designing clothes, collecting vintage jewelry (she has very sticky fingers)

Quincy

Super ditsy tbh, really not suited to being a pirate but shes doing her best, its better than staying in the south blue anyway. Everyone makes fun of her cos she has a big obvious crush on kid, she's convinced shes gonna be queen of the pirates. Kid thinks its cute but shes not really his type, he doesnt mind her fawning though. Turns absolutely psychopathic if someone threatens her sweet kiddo! A real girl's girl, she loves anything cute and pink and fluffy, like just so very stereotypically girlypop

Weapon: usually kept away from fights, but like in Wavelengths I'd like to see her use that big chain of beads around her waist like a weapon

Hobbies: makeup and nails, fawning over kid and drawing bad fanart of her and him kissing (yes everyone thinks its concerning, but in an sweet way)

Emma

The quintessential 2010s tumblr scene girl. She reads A LOT of fantasy romance, draws fanart of her favourite book series, she would be a warrior cats girlie for sure. Bit of a scaredy cat and cries when she yells, but shes not afraid to pick up a sword if she has to if its to protect her friends. Really energetic personality though, she's easy to get along with, and she seems to know a little something about everything. Gets along best with Heat.

Weapon: rifle or similar, something long range and slim

Hobbies: reading & drawing
