Hi, can I request hurt/comfort and love confession Robin x Reader after Enies Lobby? That arc broke my heart sm 😭
(Also love your work, ty in advance)
hello anon! thanks for the compliment! apologies this took so long, life's a bitch.
forethoughts: this is my first time writing angst ever. be nice 😔. i tried 😭.
notes: gn!reader, MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ENEIS LOBBY. LITERALLY, KEEP SCROLLING.
It was a tiring day, and you desperately needed rest. You fought with the Straw Hats to save Nico Robin from the World Government’s claps, and you witnessed the passing of the Merry, the Straw Hat’s beloved ship. You stood there on the boat aside Robin, watching the ship break apart and sink into the depths of the sea’s dark abyss. You should feel bad; You know you should. Chopper was sobbing, Nami was on the ground. Usopp (or Sogeking you didn’t really care about whatever name Usopp wanted to call himself) had tears streaming down his face, it could drown the boat all the Straw Hats was on. But despite the head of the beloved lamb sinking into the ocean, your mind was set on one thing, your heart beating out of your chest.
Holy shit Nico Robin is standing right next to me. She’s right next to me. Is she crying? Oh my god she is. Holy shit. She’s right next to me. Should I do something? No, I'll ruin the moment. Your mind was racing, fingers fiddling with the hem of your shirt as you resisted from turning your head to your right, to stare at the beauty next to you.
After the goodbye, all the Straw Hats got on board the Galley-La ship, everyone getting their well deserved rest. Except for you. You tried to sleep, you really did. But you just couldn’t. Not with Nico Robin on your mind. Ever since you joined the Straw Hats, you immediately felt a connection between you and the archaeologist. Nami always (if not everyday) teased you about the way you looked at her, the way you were willing to throw yourself in danger for her. When you heard Robin had sacrificed her freedom for your safety, it broke your heart into a million pieces, it felt like it could never be fixed. So when the Puffing Tom pulled up to Eneis Lobby, you fought like a wild animal, almost on the same level as Zoro and Sanji, fighting Marines left and right until you could see Robin with your own two eyes alright and unharmed.
You argued with your brain for a while, before finally sitting up from the hammock, quietly exiting the room without waking up the other Straw Hats. You snuck around the hallways of the ship, trying to find the room Robin was in.
Taking a deep breath, you knocked on the door. When you heard a soft, ‘come in’ from a familiar voice, butterflies flew around in your stomach, a shot of serotonin flooding your brain.
“Robin?” You quietly called out, opening the door. Your heart pounded at the sight in front of you, as you desperately tried to maintain your composure. Robin was sitting on a bed, wearing nothing but an old shirt, perhaps not even any pants from the look of it, making your cheeks flush bright red. Thank God it was night. She had a tired look on her face (of course she had a tired look on her face, you idiot), but regardless had a faint smile.
“Yes, Y/N? Did you need something?” She asked, her ever elegant voice making your legs wobbly.
“O-Oh, uh, no, not really. I just wanted to see if you were okay.” You responded.
Robin smiled warmly at you. “That’s so kind of you, Y/N. Thank you. I’m okay, just.. having a hard time falling asleep. After everything, it feels hard to just… fall asleep and not wake up in danger.”
“Oh.” It made your stomach churn to hear that she was struggling to sleep, but it made your heart flutter since she trusted you with that information. “Is there anything I can do to help?”
“Talking to you, perhaps. You always seem to know how to make me feel better.” Robin smiled at you, welcoming you to sit next to her. You swallowed. Oh my god. Okay. Holy shit. You walked over to Robin, creating a dip in the mattress.
“Why did you want to see if I was okay, Y/N? It doesn’t fit your character.” Robin casually asked.
So maybe you were avoiding her a lot before the Merry found its way to Water Seven. You were trying to get over Robin, forget everything she had made you feel inside and how red you got whenever she complimented you. You should’ve expected the ever observant Robin to immediately notice your sudden disappearance whenever she entered the room.
“Well…um…” You tried to form coherent sentences to explain your reasoning, without the words ‘I have a crush on you’ coming out of your mouth.
“I was busy at that time…and didn’t really have the time to stick around to talk.” You nodded your head, approving of your own reasoning that didn’t raise too many red flags.
“I see.” That was all Robin said.
There was a wave of silence that plagued the room, until you mustered up the courage to speak again. “Nami told me… the reason you decided to turn yourself in was for our safety to leave Water Seven… right?”
Even in the darkness, you could see Robin’s smile drop, her head pointing down.
“You don’t need to answer if-”
“Yes. I wanted to make sure all of you were safe and unharmed by CP9 and the World Government. I wanted to make sure you would escape their wrath.” Robin answered.
“But… to turn yourself in after running for two decades… just for us?”
“You all were the first group of people who were willing to wage war against the World Government for me. Even though you knew I was Miss All Sunday, even though Aojiki threatened you to turn me in, none of you let that affect our friendship, and well, we’re all here, aren’t we?”
You wanted to smile at that last sentence, but you frowned instead. “No threats would ever purge our friendship.”
Friendship. That word pained you to say. Friendship was the relationship you and Robin had, but that was not what you wanted.
“Indeed.” Robin murmured, looking back at you with a small smile. You tried to return it, but you just couldn’t. Not after being friendzoned.
She doesn’t even like you. Get over it. Move on. You told yourself. That was the only option you had, wasn’t it? The two of you were friends. Just friends. Nothing more, nothing less.
Right?
It’s now or never. Ask and just move on. That’s all.
“Robin…” You muttered quietly.
“Yes, Y/N?”
“Have you…ever thought of…being more than friends with someone?”
“You mean have a romantic interest?”
Your brain short circuited at her sudden bluntness. “Y-Yeah, that.”
“It hasn’t crossed my mind for a while. I wouldn’t think it would be a good idea to find one, since the World Government is out for my head. That would endanger the other person’s life, wouldn’t you agree?”
“You wouldn’t endanger my life…” You mumbled softly, expecting Robin not to pick up on it.
Robin paused after your mumble. Did she hear me?
“Still,” she sighed. “I can’t seem to find it in me to want to find someone that would love me for who I am. I’m afraid I’ll ruin another life.”
“No you won’t.” You blurted out against your mind’s protest. “You’re not going to ruin some random person’s life just for being you. If they walk away, they just don’t know you well enough to appreciate who you are.”
Robin raised an eyebrow, a smirk growing on her face. “And do you think you know me well enough to appreciate who I am?”
Yep. Your entire face was definitely red, and your skin was definitely hot. You opened your mouth to say something, anything really, but something came out. It didn’t help when Robin moved closer to you, to the point you could feel her breath brushing against your ear.
“I… do.” You finally say.
“You do? What makes you think you do?”
“Because I would sacrifice my life for you in a heartbeat. I would kill myself if it meant you were safe. I… I…” You look down, summoning all the courage, all the heartache you had bottled for months. “I love you. I love you more than a friend, more than best friends. I love you as if you are my soulmate. I want you to be my soulmate. I love you so much. W-When I heard you left… it broke my heart. I didn’t want you to go.. I didn’t want you to leave because of us. I love it when you’re here. You bring so much joy to the Straw Hats, to me. You mean the world to me, Robin.”
All the while you were ranting about your feelings, Robin was calmly looking at you, a small smile on your face. Even as your mouth continued to move, she didn’t interrupt you. She sat there, watching you pour your heart out to her, watch you express your love. As you kept talking, Robin placed a gentle finger on your chin, tilting your head towards her. Before you could react even, she leaned in, placing a soft kiss on your lips. With her free hand, she pushed you onto the bed, taking her place next to you. Robin caressed your face with her hand, running the back of her fingers against your cheek.
“You’re cute when you ramble.” She smiled. “Thank you for telling me that. I never knew you were that… enthusiastic about me.”
You laid there, no thoughts in your head. All your muscles were concentrated on trying to remember what her lips felt like. What her lips felt like on yours. It was as if you got a kiss from an angel from heaven, blessing you with infinite serotonin.
“You kissed me.” You stated matter-of-factly after a while.
“I did.” Robin responded with the same manner.
“Why?”
“Because, my sweet Y/N,” she moved closer to you, placing an arm around your chest. “I love you more than a friend too. I wanted to see you live, even if it means I will die. Nothing matters to me more than your wellbeing, and seeing your smile.”
“You… you do?”
“Yes. I’ve been feeling it for a while… I just never knew or wanted to ask you since I wasn’t sure you would return the same feeling. But after everything that you’ve said tonight… I think I’ve made my decision. I’m not leaving anytime soon. I want to stay with you. Live my life with you, my dear sweet Y/N.”
When you didn’t respond, Robin let out a small chuckle. “Your heartbeat is enough for me to know your response.”
Robin cuddled next to you, placing her head on your arm as she closed her eyes. You laid there on her bed, staring at the ceiling.
“I’ll always stay with you.” You finally say, before closing down for the night, your body relaxing against Robin’s. The sound of the ocean waves finally brought you to sleep, the whole world snuggling in your arms.

Oda: Here’s my new character! He’s a cyborg (but only on the front) who is fueled by cola that he stores in a fridge in his stomach!
Also Oda: Indiscriminate violence against a population for the actions of a few is not justice, no matter what the actions of the few entail. A ruling government built on colonialism and violence has a vested interest in rewriting the historical narrative and will do anything to protect their own version of events. This includes atrocities against citizens, including their own, if it furthers their narrative. They will demonize the survivors and victims to make them seem like villains and terrorists, and lie to the world at large. It is our job to listen to the survivors, and make sure their stories are not forgotten or distorted.
#one piece is both silly and absolutely fascinating as a history major#because fictional politics can help the audience understand real life issues#me watching the eneis lobby arc: Oh this stuff sounds familiar.#I have said it before and I will say it again: There are many horrors in being a history major.#one piece

Turned into a child w/ Sanji, Robin, & Ace
Content: GN reader, fully platonic/familial relationship since they are literally children here. Light One Piece Backstory Spoilers
Notes* In this scenario, they’ve been turned into a child by an unnamed devil fruit user. They don’t retain their adult memories, but they remember everything after it wears off! I wanted to do this prompt for a while because these three really deserve some hugs and love
Content with spoilers: hinting at past child abuse
Sanji
He’s. BABY
He doesn’t know where he is and he’s scared, so you find him hiding under the table after you weren’t able to find him in the usual spots on the ship
You didn’t understand the situation at first, but you couldn’t miss those cute little curly brows
You call his name, and he looks even more confused at the fact that a stranger knows his name
So you move to sit on your knees a safe distance away from Sanji so he can feel a little safer
You only knew bits and pieces of the treatment he went through with his birth father and siblings, but it was enough to understand why he would be scared of adults. So you offer him a soft smile, full of patience
You assure him that everything is ok, he’s safe, and that you aren’t going to hurt him
Slowly he starts to emerge from under the table and asks where he is
You offer your hand to him, asking if he’d like to see
He’s hesitant, but you look so sweet, so he trusts you and takes your hand
You take him out of the room to see the ocean and his eyes light up
It makes your heart ache
He looks at you with a big smile
“Is this the All Blue!?”
You gently tell him that no, not quite. But he is on a ship that’s trying to find it, and he looks out over the railing, scanning the horizon
Sanji is sweet on everyone, loving the attention from the girls (as always) and yet still getting into tiffs with Zoro, even at this young age
You have to stop Zoro from trying to fight him
Everyone loves hanging out with little Sanji, and he keeps gravitating back to you with a big smile
He doesn’t seem to remember Zeff when you ask him, so you leave it be
He still cooks for everyone come dinner, but you’re there to help him- especially when he cuts his finger
You calm him- you almost cried when he did -and then kiss his bandaged finger for him to help him feel better
The next day when he returns to his proper age, he shuts himself up in the kitchen in embarrassment, baking anything he can think of so he doesn’t have to face everyone
Robin
It was almost impossible to find her the morning of. Poor thing was so worried that she hid too, just a little bit better than Sanji did
When you do find her, it’s in the storage room of the ship, and she’s already crying
You quickly assure her that she’s not in trouble, nor are you going to giver her to the marines
She’s not comforted about the fact that she’s in a pirate ship though, so she might be around the age after Ohara’s death, maybe a few years after being on the run
She was open with you about her past after the events of Enei’s lobby, but it was always painful to talk about so you never pressed the subject
She didn’t look like she was going to be leaving anytime soon, so you promise to get her some things to make her stay more comfortable
You bring her a blanket and some of her favorite books, which she perks up at
Sanji enters to pass off a snack and almost passes out from how cute and little she is
You totally agree with him, but you still have to shove him out before he frightens her too badly
She only seems to touch her snack when you’re not looking
You didn’t want to leave her completely on her own so you were keeping her company
The more time passed and the more the crew poked in to say hello, the more she began to relax
She started to ask you questions- like help with reading a big word, or about how she got on the ship
That one was a little harder to explain, so you simply said you weren’t sure but that she had the whole crew protecting her from any big bag marines
You were glad that there were no bases of theirs in your path for now
Eventually you’re able to coax her out of the storage room just in time for dinner
She sits next to you and keeps looking around cautiously- the group was chaotic, and you were worried that maybe it would scare her back into her shell
But it actually does the opposite, and you’re happy that she’s finally relaxed
When she returns to normal, she thanks you for being by her side and calming her down when she needed it
Ace
The absolute biggest asshole ever
Adult Ace was this cocky, flirty, goofy guy. He was fun and knew how to have a good time
But him as a child is the worst
He is, max, 10 years old and the most conniving little shit
Not only did he go straight to throwing hands when you accidentally uncovered him hiding in the pantry stuffing his face, but he kicked you in the knee before running out to find a new spot
You’d warned Marco and any of the others you passed after that while your knee ached in pain
It wasn’t long until he was eventually found again, this time by Whitebeard of all people, which ended up with them fighting
It was clear that Whitebeard was trying to go easy on the little guy, but he was getting annoyed
Eventually Ace is picked up by the ankle and held out in front of him almost akin to garbage while he flung around, swinging his arms wildly and kicking at Whitebeard’s wrist
“Let go of me, you stupid old man!”
It took a while, but eventually you, Marco, and Whitebeard managed to calm him down enough to talk to him
He sat with his arms crossed and sour
He was only acting out as a fear response due to his lack of memory, of course
But you were still kind of unhappy when it was decided that you were babysitting him
Ace owes you big time
But even with the attitude he gives, if he’s not throwing hands, he’s a pretty cute little guy
You spend the whole day talking about your adventures on the crew when you realize that’s what piques his interest
Suddenly he’s all smiles and he’s engaging with you happily
At dinner, he still stuffs his face and falls asleep at random right there at the table
You carry him to your room to sleep there since someone needed to pick up on Ace’s missed duties today, and when you return he’s still asleep, but back to his usual age
So you scream for him to wake up and apologize for kicking you
He laughs, the dickhead, and apologizes.
“I’ll kiss it better if you want. But tell me- was I a cute kid?”

Hey hey, am back again (the one who requested the movie headcanons)
I do have another request but I just got to say your impressive as hell. I had put in the other request just a day before it was made. Which is just crazy and the fact the headcanons were so accurate and good. Thank you for doing the last request once again.
Ok now I will get to my request now, just had to give that recognition 😅
I was wondering if you can please do, what it’s like to spread a morning with luffy, sanji, nami, and robin. How it would be like to wake up with them and get ready for the day with them. Stuff like that.
Thank you if you take this request, I hope you have a good morning 🫶🏾
hey hey! welcome back! thanks for the compliment, i'm glad you enjoyed it and found it accurate!
forethoughts: i can't believe i hit 100+ notes one of my post 🥹. thank you all so much for reading my stuff even though it occasionally breaks your hearts! ahhhh. also gonna use this space to have an fyi for people who request(ed) me. i just finished eneis lobby!!! if you request something that's way after eneis lobby, i'm either gonna have to wing it (aka poorly write bc i lack context and i don't wanna google bc google = spoiler), or you have to wait patiently for me to reach that arc. sorry for any inconvenience! anyways back to the matter at hand.
notes: all gn!reader
Luffy always sleeps whenever his body tells him to, so it’s not odd for him to suddenly disappear next to you while you two slept together. But ever since you two had gotten together, he would always make sure that he was by your side whenever you woke up. The moment your eyes open and consciousness rolls in, you feel a heavy weight on your body. Luffy’s fast asleep on you, his head bruised-no doubt from Sanji trying to steal food. You smile softly at him, petting his hair as you roll him over to his side of the bed, placing a kiss on his bruise as you look at him, admiring his peaceful sleeping form. Whenever you’re asleep, he’s awake. Whenever you’re awake, he’s asleep. You found this annoying, but seeing his sleepy baby face always washed your annoyance away. You would proceed with your morning routine as it is, and usually by the time you’re done, Luffy would’ve awoken, and smother you with kisses and whine about Sanji. Additionally, because now that you were with him and sleep with him (every now and then) at night, his hygiene significantly improved, so now he wasn’t always sweaty and covered in dirt!
Sanji is a gentleman, so of course he lets you steal the blanket at night, letting you snuggle up against him. Sometimes when you wake up, he’s not by your side, as he has to start preparing food for everyone, but you would always find a handwritten note and your favorite breakfast right next to you, as well as a rose in a vase on your nightstand. This was life with Sanji; he always had to be up at 5am, ready to cook every meal, while you always slept in. He’ll always make it up to you by giving you the best night, as he can never really give you the best morning, even though he tries his best.
Nami loves to either big spoon or little spoon you. Either way, she craves the physical intimacy she can generate with you. She expects to either be treated like a princess one day, or absolutely spoil you with kisses the moment you wake up, and help you shower, get changed, etc. You cannot change my mind about the fact that Nami is a pillow princess, and will steal the blanket if she’s cold. You don’t mind it; in fact you're already used to this behavior, but you love it anyway, and she loves you for indulging her. Once she wakes up, she’ll kiss you on your lips, whispering a good morning as she snuggles with you. Once you’re awake too, the two of you get ready for the day. Nami spends majority of her time on makeup and clothing, while you simply shower and pick something nice to wear. Ever since you started dating Nami, you found yourself sitting down on a stool, Nami’s hand deep into your scalp trying to ‘fix your hair’, while making you look the most attractive person in the world (to her you already were).
Similar to Nami, both you and Robin will always wake up at around the same time, to say good morning to each other and be the first thing you see once you wake up. In the beginning of your relationship, she isn’t too keen on snuggling/cuddling due to her trauma and the hardship of opening up to others, but after a while of being with you, she’ll let you cuddle her and she grows to love it too. She always smells like fresh paper or flowers, a scent you’ve grown to love. Robin usually wakes up before you, and loves seeing your sleepy face buried in her chest. She’ll plant a soft kiss on your forehead, whispering ‘good morning’ to you. Soon enough, you’ll wake up, and whisper a ‘good morning’ to you. The two of you stay in bed slowly waking up, talking about your dreams and your sleep, then about what you were going to do/plan to do for the day. Robin loved talking to you and helping you achieve your goals, as nothing makes her more happy than to see you succeed. Everyday, she’d check in on you to see if you had completed your task you said you would in the morning, and always reward you with a special night. Ending your discussion with a kiss, the two of you get out of bed, ready to accomplish what both of you set out to do today.

I need anyone who genuinely dislikes Usopp to take a long look in the mirror because yeah, he can be a bit annoying at times but he is honestly a good and interesting character!!
He is just as loyal as any other member of the crew and fights the strongest when he’s fighting on someone else’s behalf. (See: him fighting for Sanji in Skypeia, fighting for Robin at Eneis Lobby, fighting for Luffy in Dressrosa, fighting for Tama and Nami in Wano.) He is a major player in so many of the battles in the series that it baffles me that people can think of him as an unimportant member of the crew.
And Usopp is a fucking genius??? Hello???? He’s able to make weapons powerful enough to create storms and tornadoes. He is canonically a jack-of-all trades that supports the crew in their daily lives and in battle. The Going Merry only lasted as long as she did because Usopp was around to care for her. He was the only one to see her Klabauterman!! Usopp is not only creative and fun but is able to bring those creations to life, whether it be his drawings or his gadgets, and I think that’s so beautiful. I miss pre-TS because of all his inventions we got to see.
Let’s not forget that Usopp is so, so kind!! He made friends with the kids in his village and told stories to Kaya to help her feel better when she was ill. He fought to protect her and Syrup Village from Kuro. Personally, I will never get over filler ep on Fireworks Island (ep. 134) where he cheered up Kodoma and encouraged her to continue her pyrotechnics, assuring that her parents were proud of her. Knowing he also lost his parents at a young age makes the scene hit that much harder. (And again, he showed his genius by figuring out a way to launch the firework that killed Kodoma’s parents!!) It may not be canon to the manga but but I think that episode is super accurate to his character.
What I think makes him the most interesting is that we see his flaws and mistakes more than any of the other Straw Hats. We see his insecurities in Water 7 and his fear in Dressrosa. But we also see him growing and learning and being encouraged by his crewmates. Aside from Robin, I think Usopp has changed and grown the most out of the Straw Hats. With his goal to become a brave warrior of the sea he has so much potential for even more growth!!
Like I said earlier, some people think Usopp is annoying which he can be sometimes, but that’s also because he’s literally comic relief. And he does so well at it bc he’s actually so damn funny?? He makes me laugh out loud all the time. One Piece wouldn’t be even half as funny without Usopp.
I also appreciate that as an individual he has so many moments with the other Straw Hats. There are a lot of relationships that don’t get explored as much as we’d like, but I think we get to see Usopp’s friendships with the crew pretty often. He fights for Luffy, plays around with Chopper, teases Zoro, is teased by Robin, gossips with Nami, hangs around Sanji, and his whole relationship with Franky has so many layers to it.
Aaahh, I have so many hopes for Usopp in the series that I pray will be fulfilled!! I want him to have a badass arc in Elbaf full of character growth. I want to see him develop and continue to use his Haki (which he gained when trying to save Luffy are you KIDDING me). I want his reunion with Yasopp to be emotional and bittersweet. If he could personally beat Yasopp in a fight I would ascend to the heavens.
Usopp is such an important, complex, and interesting character and I absolutely hate to see him reduced to being a gag character or the weakest member of the Straw Hats. He may not be a monster but he is amazing and I love him.
TLDR; if you disrespect Usopp I wish you a very Die.
#usopp#god usopp#one piece usopp#op usopp#HE IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME#anyone who disrespects usopp is a FOOL and BLIND and doesn’t deserve anything#he is so important to the series why won’t you guys get that#fellow usopp truthers hear my cries!! we will give our sniper the respect he deserves#one piece#strawhats#red’s ramblings#op meta

I loved your idea for film blue & reading your response reminded me of a theory I have about the shuggy dynamic & since I love your meta I'd love your take.
Do you think Oda is trying to imply that the Shuggy fallout is not only a personal loss, but a loss for the world as a whole? There's a lot of talk lately about Shanks' personal failings with interpersonal skills & coincidentally that's where Buggy's strength lies.
In fact the Shuggy dynamic is sort of written in a way where they make up for what the others lack so I wonder if the miscommunication with them is also supposed to make us believe the world would've been better had they stuck together?
Buggy was the first of the two to recognize the danger with Blackbeard and it's when he isn't in Shanks life anymore that Blackbeard was able to hurt him. Buggy didn't rise up in the world until way later in life despite his charisma, but Shanks did fairly quickly. We can see how Buggy being a warlord/emperor is setting into motion big events at a seemingly quicker pace than Shanks ever did (intentional or not). Imagine if they had set out as co leaders way back when? Would Shanks be as passive or would Buggy's ambition & anxiety push him to be more proactive in whatever it is he's supposed to do on behalf of Roger.
With the anime finally animating the loguetown breakup/fallout and to be reminded of Buggy being pushed to reclaim his dreams because Shanks is also heading for the One Piece I'm starting to think Oda is writing them as a delayed destiny type of thing. That they were always supposed to carry on Roger's will together & the biggest mistake of the past is anyone thinking only one of Roger's apprentices was supposed to be his heir so to speak. They were supposed to be a team not rivals.
Last thing I want to bring up is how Luffy keeps being put in Shanks' shoes when it comes to his crew except where Shanks failed Luffy didn't. The Usopp conflict in Water 7/Eneis Lobby especially plays like a 2nd Shanks & Buggy fall out to me.
Not only are Buggy & Usopp both extremely insecure in their own power, but they too interpreted their friends words/actions as a slap to the face. However Luffy was able & willing to do the work to close the distance between his Nakama & resolve the miscommunication while Shanks just...gave up essentially. Being not only an example of how Luffy can do what Shanks never could, but also the new generation succeeding where the last one failed. I can't help but think when we learn Shanks & Buggy's history Oda intends for us to think about this parallel and view it as mistake.
So I wouldn't be surprised if we got at least one more reunion between Shuggy & when we do they come to this realization that they have a chance to correct the mistakes of the past and team up for something significant in terms of plot. That their destiny's lie with eachother not against.
thoughts?
I think this is the first time someone has sent me an ask that's not anonymous. This made me really happy, so thank you, and hi!
Is "I agree and disagree" a proper answer? I don't know. I think you're right in that the "evolved" (emotionally mature, post character-growth) versions of Shanks and Buggy could have accomplished a lot together. But that's just it -- in order to evolve, you have to start somewhere. It's like expecting Luffy to still be able to protect his crew the way he does now without going through the tragedy at Sabaody and Marineford. Shanks and Buggy were always fated to part, because they needed to grow separately to meet back up again as true and equal counterparts. To change, you've got to experience things that make you realize you need to change.
I think there is a world where Buggy would've followed Shanks and been on his crew, but in that world, he also would've never addressed the root of his problem: his own insecurity. He needed to go out on his own to find himself. "Would Shanks be as passive?" "Would Buggy's ambition and anxiety push him to be more proactive in whatever it is he's supposed to do on behalf of Roger?" The questions you're asking are insightful and fun thought experiments, but in my opinion, a narrative impossibility. Loguetown Buggy would never follow a Shanks that fell back on Laughtale, and Loguetown Shanks will always prioritize his idea of the "greater good." So when you say the world would be better "had they stuck together," I half-disagree, because I don't think this hypothetical world could ever exist. (Also, from an author's standpoint, it feels like cheating your way to the end without earning it -- bypassing all the juicy stuff about character writing, like the internal and external conflicts which push characters to change.)
However, the idea that they're destined to carry on Roger's legacy together is such a great idea -- I love that! It warms my heart. I've always viewed Roger's will as something split between Buggy and Luffy, but what you proposed is something I can totally get behind. And I could 100% see Oda going in that direction.
#“their destinies lie with each other not against”#WAHHHH#imagine my head exploding#bc that's what's happening rn#love love love it#but yeah i just don't necessarily view the shuggy split as a “mistake”#buggy was only able to go after his dream *now* because shanks turned away from laughtale *then*#if they had stayed together buggy would never think of himself as someone who's on equal footing w/ shanks#& thus do what he did in 1082#it was the unfortunate event that needed to happen. at least in my opinion#that's just my take though -- everything you said is still a completely valid and well-thought theory!! so thank you for sharing it with me#ask

Law & Robin Similarities Part 2
~EXPERIENCE~
Debuted as a “villain” character
Saved Luffy before joining or alliance with Straw Hats
Return Luffy's hat to him
Talk about “D” when saving Luffy
Defeated Tashigi
Asked Luffy to join or alliance
When they joined or alliance with straw hats, they are doubted by other members
Luffy gave similar comments “She’s not a bad guy” “I think he’s a good guy”
Tell Luffy don’t host a party because it might attract enemy (of course both unsuccessful)
Want to use straw hats in the beginning *I can't find the source for Robin, but I saw multiple people mentioned about it, will add it once I found it! Will cross it out first*
Want to end their relationship with Luffy
Trapped by a seastone cuff for half of the arc (Eneis Lobby & Dressrosa)
Have a strong willing to die for their purpose
Saved by Luffy
Fight enemies with Luffy and separated with him after (Sabaody & Wano)
Note: *Lazy to find source, you all probably know hehe*
Want to learn the will of D
Looking for road poneglyph
Found it's difficult to achieve their goal and to learn history
Here is PART 3 ->

Requests Are CLOSED!
Rules are below for when requests reopen
As of wrestling, since I wrote that before anime, I don’t plan on writing it so if you request wrestling (unless it’s a really good idea) I’m probably gonna say no
As of anime and gaming, AND THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
The fandoms I write for are:
Anime:
Black Clover
Demon Slayer
Jojos Bizarre Adventure
Naruto
One Piece (keep in mind that I only just finished Eneis Lobby, so I’m only gonna write for characters that I have met so far! I’m trying to make more progress I swear lol)
Tokyo Revengers (keep in mind that if you want any smut, it MUST BE post time skip characters!)
Bleach
Jujutsu Kaisen
My Hero Academia

Video games:
Tekken
Mortal Kombat
(Also deciding on Overwatch)
Requests themselves:
I work 6 days a week, so that can be an issue as of making time to write. So please be patient and due to this I am only going to accept up 3 requests at a time!
Try and be as descriptive as possible with your requests, that way I can make it as awesome as possible. (I don’t have any prompt lists but if you have a prompt you like, I’m okay with that too!)
If your request is very vague or contains anything that I am not willing to write for, then I probably will not accept and let you know that.
Also since I write in x reader (for smut x fem reader form) I try to keep things as neutral as possible.
Things I will not write for:
Any underage character smut
No animals characters
I do not write any character x character
No rape, abuse, incest, anything along those lines
And as per usual, MINORS DNI! Let alone request
If you request something I will not write for, I will address it.
So That’s about it!
Again, just be mindful and patient whenever you sent in a request. It’s been a long time since I’ve done requests so I hope this is fun!

gotta be honest, after finishing eneis lobby nico olvia is very much amongst the characters i find most interesting thus far. i get that she's a very small character within the grand scheme of things, but everything that is going on with her narratively is beyond fucking compelling. i'd read/watch an entire spin-off about her, like, she is just so intricately fascinating.
here we have a woman who started a family, who clearly loves her daughter wholeheartedly, but who feels called by a sense of responsibility to the truth, to the world, & to her field. she leaves her daughter to what amounts to a cinderella story with added horrors & is haunted by the guilt it spurs to the point where she believes herself to have no right to consider herself robin's mum in any meaningful sense. but she couldn't help but turn around, but want her little girl's forgiveness for all she'd die before thinking she'd earned it. who breaks at her daughter begging for the mum she wanted to but couldn't be. who knows it was wrong to leave as a parent... but also can't say she had any better option.
here we have a woman who pursued knowledge, pursued truth, to the point of criminalization. who's sheer power of belief in the importance of awareness & intellect caused both defection & breach of orders. who chased after the real story of the world in the face of death, who did not cower at the thought of it killing her, because what she was doing was right. it was meaningful. it was important.
here we have the woman who was amongst the inspirations for nico robin to become who she is because, along with other factors, robin understood & believed in the importance of her mum's work even as a very small youth. who, for all she had left her daughter behind, was responsible for a woman who would become (at least to my understading of what's ahead) indespensible to the world's liberation in part due to the example she set. who managed to save her little girl in the end.
yes, she is a small character in the grand scheme of things, but the op world would not be able to be written as we see it without her existence. & i fucking love her.
#like literally just she's fucking brilliant. controversial take but she ranks higher than vivi- & i adore vivi! but olivia is just so fuck#-ing unique & complex & such an excellent female character. i adore this woman beyond words.#grey's one piece tag#nico olvia

Not dead yet
I was trying to find out a list of people we thought dead and finally weren't. I started from the wiki's list of dead... which was not so helpful.
So I took the chronology back.
Do you think I forgot anyone ? Who ?
This is the list of people we thought dead or could have thought dead who turned out to be alive : (as in status confirmed)
Merry (Sirup Village) Gin (seen 2 years after Baratie) Usopp (Nami didn't kill him after all) Dorry (Little Garden) Pell (Alabasta) Pagaya / anyone from the current fight against Enel (Skypiea) Shelly (Long Ring Long Land) Iceberg (Water Seven) J D. Saul (Eneis Lobby flash back) Oimo Kashii, Galley-la and Franky Family | Spandam and CP9 (Eneis Lobby) Zoro, Brook (Thriller Bark) Lacuba (Sabaody) Bon Clay and Ivankov (Impel Down) Luffy, Moria and [the most important one redacted for spoilers] (Marineford) Sanji (Fishmen Island) Everyone from G5 - Brownbeard - Mocha (Punk Hazard) Law (Dressrosa) ?(Zou) Pedro(temporary, then unconfirmed) - Perospero - Charlotte Moscato (WCI) Luffy, X Drake (Wano) not listing Egghead because the persons' status seems complicated.
