word count: 1.5k words

a/n: to my nct audience; LOL SORRY IF THIS CAME UP IN UR FEED AND YOU GOT CONFUSED 😇🙏 currently obssesed over one piece live action dude i physically cannot explain how much i love all the characters :( (esp koby and nami's character development!!!) anw ive been having a major zoro brainrot so :) enjoy!!!

You grumble and keep a hand to your cheek, shoulders slumped and sore, as you walk into the kitchen, in search of someone specific.

Chopper, your trusty nurse and adorable friend, of course. Who else would heal the cut on your face and bruises on your arm?

Hearing a little action going on in the kitchen, you can only assume is your captain Luffy, or Usopp, as they both are food lovers, after all.

"Hey, have you guys seen Chopper anywhe–"

However, once you make it inside the kitchen, you are shocked to see the person you've been avoiding this whole morning.

"Oh," You breathe out. A frown curls on your lips once you realize he's got a bottle of booze wrapped in his hand, bringing it up to his lips as he turns to gaze at you. "Damn it, I thought I hid those..."

Your boyfriend's got a nasty habit of drinking alcohol. Anytime he wanted. Bored? He's either napping, training, or drinking his stupid booze. Tired? Booze. Feeling happy or sad? Stupid booze.

You've been trying to stop him before he becomes 80% alcohol, but he's better at finding it than you are at hiding it.

"Morning," Zoro mumbles, as he puts his bottle down. "tried to hide these just like you've been hiding from me me all day?"

At his words, you look away, taking a step away from him. "I don't know what you're talking about,"

"Why are you holding your cheek?"

When your eyes flicker back at him, he's got a worried frown, a crease in his eyebrows some might mistake as anger, but you recognize it as care.

He cares for you, and you hate how soft it makes you.

"It's just... cold," You attempt to lie, rubbing at your skin. Bad idea, as you fail to stop your hiss of pain.

Zoro instantly walks towards you, his hands releasing his bottle of beer, and his swords, to raise it to your face. One hand hovers over your uncovered cheek, the other wrapping it's fingers around your wrist gently.

"Show me."

You still, not knowing what to do. You know you're gonna succumb to him anyway, so there's no need to put up a fight, but you can't help how stubborn you are.

So, you don't step away, but you don't lower your hand anyway.

"Y/N," Zoro says sternly.

"It's nothing, I swear, just a tiny... mishap,"

"Then show me,"

Despite his voice being so harsh, and his gaze just as much, you know this is all because he loves you. You can tell by the way his thumb softly runs over your skin, you can tell by the way he steps closer to observe further, you can tell by the way he doesn't force you. He trusts that you trust him, and you hate how it works on you every time.

"Do you at least have any bandages?"

With your tiny voice and small gaze up at him, Zoro knows you've given in.

"You know I always do,"

It's true. With the amount of fights he gets himself into, he has at least 2 packs on him. Also in case you scrape your knee or get a papercut. It's the small things he does that assure you he cares.

He finally releases his grip on your wrist, walking back to pick up his bottle of beer on the counter. Before he can even take a sip, however, you hop onto the counter in front of him, and snatch the bottle, shaking your head.

"It's 10 in the morning." You remind him sternly.

Zoro can't stop the tiny smirk on the corner of his lips, huffing. "Yeah, yeah,"

You know he loves you, he knows you love him too.

It's the tiny things like this that prove it. The way you try to make him a better man, the way you'd instantly take care of his wounds yourself, the way you shush the other crewmembers when he's napping. And unlike you, he loves how soft it makes him.

"Take your hand off now."

Though you have a disapproving look, and grimace, you comply, slowly lowering your hand from your cheek.

You look down at your lap once you hear his sharp intake of air, playing with the hem of your shirt.

Zoro can't take his eyes off the cut on your cheekbone, his heart sinking impossibly quickly, cracking when he sees a bruise right under the cut. "What the fuck happened?"

"It just... happened," You mumble weakly.

"Who did it?" Zoro'a voice, once again, is harsh, but you hear the shake in it, worry.

"...I did,"

You know he takes it the wrong way the next second, considering how you answered him, you would have skipped to conclusions yourself.

"You're harming yourself?!"

You interject immediently, reaching out to grab his wrist, "No! God, no, Zoro,"

You haven't said his name until now, and it still manages to send a wave of warmth over his body. The way you are so quick to reassure him, the way you lean into his warmth, how your skin rubs against his comfortingly, it all warms him inside. He's only ever felt warm with you, which is why he loves you so much.

"Then how did it happen?"

At his question, you frown again, but it's less serious than before, it's more of a pout, if anything.

"It's stupid."

"It's not stupid if you're getting hurt."

"You'll think it's stupid,"

"Our captain is Luffy, whatever you do can't be that bad."

Zoro waits patiently for your answer, taking out the band-aid from his pocket. His eyes shine with anticipation, no longer (that) angry, and you're glad he isn't as worried anymore. You hate making him worry.

"I..." You hesitate for a second, tearing your eyes away from his gaze. You decide that it doesn't matter if he laughs or not in the end, because he won't ever see you differently. He's your Zoro, and he'll always be by your side.

"You know how there was a storm last night?"

Your boyfriend's eyebrows raise at your words, and he nods silently, gently sticking the band-aid to your cheek. He blows on it, making sure it's secure.

"I fell off my bed and face planted onto the floor,"

At your words, Zoro completely freezes, his fingers grazing the skin of your jaw. You can't tell what he's quite feeling, as one, you didn't have the pride to look at him for more than 2 seconds, and two, he remains as emotionless as a rock.

"...Zoro?"

Suddenly, there's a sound. A strange sound that comes from him. It's unfamiliar, but... strangely warm. You come to a conclusion that Roronoa Zoro, your cold, stoic boyfriend, is laughing. He's laughing with his whole heart, eyes squinting as he finally smiles, the prettiest, most precious smile you have ever seen.

Zoro's forehead lands on your shoulder as he continues, an arm wrapping around your waist to secure you in place.

"Roronoa Zoro are you laughing at me?"

"N-no–" He snorts. How dare he lie to your face.

Although he did flat out lie to your face, it's endearing. His laugh and smile is new, comforting, and you swear your could listen to it your whole life and not complain.

"I-I'm not laughing at you, I promise!"

"Doesn't look like it," You huff out with a grumble, facing away from, attempting to hide the shy smile curling on your lips.

"N-nooo!" Zoro chuckles. A sudden warm feeling envelops not only your chin, but your whole entire being, as Zoro tilts your head back to him, your heart almost stopping at the sight of his charming grin.

He's grinning.

And it's all because of you.

You have to admit, you're proud of yourself.

"You're just... too adorable,"

"Roronoa Zoro, you're flirting with me now?!"

"Shhh!" He shushes you, though its playful, and loving, placing his index finger on your smiley lips.

You two sit there, alone and together, for minutes on end, unable to let the moment become a memory. Zoro resumes with patching you up, caressing the bruises on your arm comfortingly.

It's moments like these that make you realize just how special you are to Zoro, and just how special he is to you, because who else on planet earth would be able to get him to laugh thay hard, grin that much, and love you that much?

You'd crash into the floor a million times if it meant seeing Zoro's smile, you'd admit to any embarassing moment, if it meant having to hear his melodious laugh.

"You know," He breaks the peaceful silence, causing you to grow concious of how you were staring at him. To be fair, the both of you don't mind staring at each other. What's there to hide? You love him, he loves you.

"you could come nap with me if you want. I could keep you anchored to the bed so you don't fall out again."

Considering how much he valued his hours of sleep, and alone time, this is something big he asks you of, and you feel a sweet warmth stirr in you.

This time, you don't grow shy, or snarl at his sarcastic remark. Rather, you grin at your lover, reaching up to pinch his chin playfully. "You'd like that, huh?"

"Don't say you wouldn't,"

"And if I drag you down with me?"

Zoro shrugs, ruffling your bed-head. "We'll both get to laugh and patch each other up."

You reach up to peck his cheek, before hopping off the counter. "I'll take you up on that someday,"

[just-here-for-the-art-shit]

OPLA is so gay and Luffy is so ace that's it's not even subtle

I can't find anymore screenshots so -

*Koby and Luffy stargazing in the boat*

*Insert image of Nami and Kaya on the couch*

Nami trying to find a dinner outfit and asking Luffy: "How does this look?" "Looks like Nami."

*1 outfit later*

"Still looks like Nami."

Usopp asking Zoro: "If you were Kaya would you like me?"

Luffy: "I like you already!"

Usopp: "No that's not what I - whatever- Zoro-"

Zoro: "You're asking the wrong guy."

This live slug reaction:

*Every single interaction Zoro has with Sanji*

*Literally the moment Luffy was like, "This tastes great!" Sanji was smitten, absolutely doomed to join the crew.

*The fact that the writers both included and let Gin live, jackass captain be damned. What does this have to do with the list? Idk, I love Gin.*

*Luffy just totally going shell shocked when Zoro's hurt while the rest are rushing to help him*

Mihawk at Luffy: "Although I do like that hat." I laughed my ass off because I totally didn't expect that - they totally knew what they were doing adding that to the script you can't convince me they didn't. Mihawk's not even hiding it. He knows exactly who that hat belongs to. And also the fact that he was sent to capture Luffy, saw the hat, and said to Garp's face, "Nah I think he should be a pirate lmao get fucked."

*Mihawk's entire existence should literally make everyone swoon*

Hand Kisses

summary: how the Strawhats (+Koby!) kiss your hands

rating: E for Everyone

A/N: oh to be kissed on the hands by the OPLA characters sigh… 😔🤞

roronoa zoro

The first time he does it, it shocks you, but he clocks the way you blush and keeps it in the back of his mind. When he is feeling romantic, but he doesn't quite know how to express it, he will silently come up to you and slowly take your hands and kiss them.

nami

When you cradle Nami's face with your hands, she will swiftly angle her neck to press a kiss to your palm. If the two of you are holding hands before parting, she will press a quick kiss to your fingers, throwing you a wink if she's in a particularly good mood.

monkey d. luffy

Luffy loves to kiss you everywhere, so when he kisses your hands, he kisses every inch of them. He also likes to study your hands, most often with his own, holding your fingers close to his face as he pecks and pets it. (he’s a little weirdo okay but i love him <3)

sanji

Ever the romantic, of course Sanji is frequently kissing your hands. He takes both of your hands in his, raises them to his lips, kissing them before interlocking your hands with his and drawing you in for a kiss.

koby

I'd like to think that the first time Koby took you on a date, he wanted to do everything so "by the book" that he kissed your hand. His own hand was shaking as he swiftly brought your hand to his lips, and he could barely even look at you, but you still appreciated the gesture, which he remembered. The rare times he gets to take you on formal dates, he'll kiss your hand, and you notice the confidence grow every time he does so.

usopp

Like Luffy, Usopp is a very non-serious romantic, BUT he can have his moments. He knows what the gesture of kissing someone’s hand can mean, yet when the two of you are still just friends he would greet you with a kiss to the hand. After the two of you are officially together, he still kisses your hand as a greeting, but you can see a glint in his eyes as he does so that tells you that he means it to be a simple bit romantic gesture.

[zorobae]

The One Piece live action is really great! I couldn't help but binge it all in one sitting. I'm really awed and kind of relieved ngl.

There are changes to the story of course, but major scenes are kept nearly one-to-one to the manga. Most changes are fine, others are questionable, some are even better imo. Like giving Nami and Kaya more time together? I loved that. More importantly, the characters are very much the same characters we know and love. My Zolu heart is especially happy. I absolutely adore Iñaki and Mackenyu as Luffy and Zoro. Mind you, I was disappointed at first that they didn't make Zoro follow Luffy as soon as he did in the manga (I'm pretty sure I've made more than one post about how much I love the way Zoro joins Luffy) but the way Zoro vowed to follow Luffy forever at a later point in the story was totally worth it. They made quite a big deal of the wound that Mihawk gave Zoro which I really liked. Also, we got a scene where Luffy straddles and hugs Zoro which literally made me fall off the couch in shock/joy lol (it took them 912 chapters in the manga to hug!). I also really appreciate how much sweeter they've made Sanji so far. He's flirty but not in the same overbearing way as he is in the manga. And knowing that Taz did all of his own stunts made his fighting scenes smh more impressive to me. All the fighting scenes looked great actually.

Probably the most praiseworthy thing about this adaptation are the performances. Even as someone who knows the Strawhat's backstories, seeing Mackenyu or Emily or Taz cry made me inevitably emotional, too.

One thing I didn't like is how much screen time was spent on Koby and Garp and well, just the Marines or other side characters in general. The Strawhats are what I'm here for and I'm pretty sure we coulda reached the Grand Line in 8 episodes if they hadn't "wasted" so much time on characters I don't care about. But tbf, I assume this is something that other fans might like; seeing more of the other side, so to say. The pay-off for that story line was a good one, tho, I'll give it that.

tl;dr: I would totally recommend the One Piece live action~

I wonder how everyone in the world would react to lunala readers goddesses form on her wanted poster?

SHANKS

He was surprised to see your wanted poster. The crew was impressive and even luffy Bounties, gear 5 form. Shanks knew about you and luffy Devil Fruits' secret.

And he was really shocked what your form height is. It's 52 ft (15.8m), and your wings span is 803 ft (244m). Wow.

And your bounty is $3, 290, 000, 000-.

He remembers like it was yesterday, when he first met you and luffy when you two were little. Even your human form.

He does remember luffy mother 'Sofia'.

KOBY

He is in tears right now.

Seeing his two best friends become a five ember. And he was surly surprised about your height and your form.

As he read the newspapers, he saw that you and luffy defeated kaido to protect wano. He is so happy for his friends.

Koby was surprised to your bounty. He read the newspapers about your form, and it appears to be your legendary form. And saw your human form.

He likes your glaxey hair.

THE FIVE ELDERS

"What is this picture?!"

"What's going on?! Gee!"

The Elders were shocked to read the newspapers when they saw your bounties and your bat form.

"We told you to remove the 'D'. Too!" Said valcurie. "No, we weren't told about it! We got the pictures from Guernica-sama of CP-0." The marine captain.

"Reprint them immediately!" Valcurie yelled, "but we can't contact the printing company..." he says.

EUSTASS KID

Kid was surprised to see your wanted poster. His crew was amazed by your form. He saw your bat form during the battle.

And he saw your bounties. He really wanted to ask you to join his crew. But he knew you gonna saw no.

His crew is in love with your bat form, and we're shocked to read about your height. And they even saw your human form. Kid loves your form.

HEART PIRATE

Law was shaken up. When he first saw your bat form, you were so big.

The heart pirate did see bat form, and they were afraid of one's shadow. They thought you were going to eat them for some point.

And he was really shocked when he saw what your height was. He really wants to ask you to join his crew.

But he knows you gonna say no. The crew was amazed by your form. They really want to you. If you can, let them ride you to fly with you.

They do see your Pictures on the newspaper, images of you, and luffy. And saw your human form looks like. They love the star on your hair.

!!THANK YOU!!

[onyxmilk]

hi, can I please request drabbles of the strawhats with a fem!reader who is very very strong (like yor forger or maki zen'in), but doesn’t look like it? like, the reader doesn't look like she can beat people up, but she surely can.

Strawhats x f!Reader; "Strength"

notes; merry christmas yall :D tw; Reader uses She/Her pronouns!, unedited wc; 0.5k

Luffy; Luffy watched in awe as [YourName] absolutely kicked ass. See, he knew that something was special about you when he found her on the same boat that Koby was on! He knew there was some fire inside [YourName, and to the others she was deemed useless- just some girl Luffy had picked up early on. [YourName] fought with all her might, taking down buff men and flipping them. The others were too busy to notice, but Luffy did and he was entranced because of it. Luckily, he could watch and fight- encouraging [YourName] with soft 'Yeah!' and 'Kick their asses!'

Zoro; "Do you need help- Oh.." Zoro offered to [YourName] but instead watched her as she picked up heavy boxes and moved them onto their new ship. He had taken a liking to her, often making excuses to get near her, he just didn't know why and he thinks he found his reasoning. She was the definition of looks could be deceiving! She was shorted than him and often played hopeless to scam the merchants around them, it got them more food. Seeing [YourName] do what was deemed a 'man's job' really got him debating his feelings for the beautiful woman. Nami; [YourName] was friends with Nami when she was little before she left, and each time she had even thought of the girl- Nami would think of someone weak and needing assistance constantly. So to her surprise, when she had arrived back on her home island and after the whole fight did she find [YourName] carrying heavy medical supplies. Nami just had to watch for a moment in shock, that's when her sister had came up to her and chuckled, explaining that after Nami left, [YourName] took training seriously. Nami just blushed and nodded her head, understanding and assuming [YourName]'s reasoning. Usopp; Usopp was new to the strawhats, not sure what [YourName] because she didn't really do much but trip Kuro. So when he found [YourName] really making Zoro work for his money in an arm wrestle he was a little more than just shocked. He turned to Nami who seen this play out before and just laughed before nodding her head and heading out, Usopp just stayed and watched what would happen- and he was glad he did. After a long five minutes, [YourName] won the wrestle and got the berry. Zoro would scoff and walk off while Usopp praised [YourName]. Sanji; [YourName] was new to the Baratie, playing waitress who would help out in the kitchen now and again. Sanji didn't lay eyes on her until one night when it was just him to clean up the kitchen and [YourName] offered to help. "You don't have to get tha-" Sanji began, just for [YourName] to pick up one of the heavier boxes packed full of ingredients and move it. Sanji stood there, impressed but also in shock. [YourName] just didn't look like the type of girl to do any heavy lifting like that, but every woman to their own he supposed.

[deathmetalunicorn1]

Can I request a Part 3.5 Special of Yandere One Piece with Eri Reader? (I’m so happy your back!)

The Marines are talking not only about Luffy’s Bounty, but Reader’s bounty as well, since she was seen using her power to bring someone to life and can heal (Thus her bounty is so high because a power like that is priceless for anyone, so she’s wanted ‘Only Alive and Intact’ and have a special notice that if someone in the Marines bring her in, they will go up a few ranks, with higher officials becoming a Vice-Admiral) and are even willing to give 1 billion on her whereabouts

With Kaya, Coby, Bell-Mere, Nojiko, the Baratie Chefs and Zeff all react to Luffy and Reader‘s wanted posters (They all hang her poster up in pride)

Bonus:

Mihawk meets up with Shanks to show him the Wanted Posters of Luffy and a cute little girl, which Shanks and his crew scream in shock after Mihawk tells them that the little girl is Luffy’s sister (They yell in shock that she’s too cute to be his sister!)

-The day after you departed from Cocoyasi Village was the day the whole world was in an uproar over one thing or another.

-The first was this little no-name upstart, Luffy, suddenly had such a large bounty, something he gleefully gloated to the others.

-The other was complete shock that this adorable little child, you, had such a massive bounty, one hundred million beris, and you were only wanted alive and intact.

-This made many speculations arise all over the world about what made you so special that the marines and the World Government wanted you.

-Others had instantly gone on the hunt, as you were a child, an easy target.

-Marines were after you, not only for the bounty, as the higher-ranking officers had decided, if a marine was the one to bring you in, they would get a rank and pay increase, as well as the bounty.

-Nami was gawking, seeing your poster while you were running around the ship deck, flying a kite Usopp had made for you as the men in the crew were peering over her shoulder.

-There was a wide array of emotions, first being shocked, that you had such a high bounty, then fear and anger, as they were quick to realize someone saw you using your ability, and then shock again, as they had never seen a bounty poster like yours before, wanting you alive and intact only.

-Luffy was pouting deeply, annoyed that you had a hire bounty than he did, but he couldn’t stay mad at you, especially when you didn’t understand what having a bounty meant.

-Your crew, the Straw Hat Crew, made the decision, right then and there, that you must always have someone with you, to protect you from being taken, especially if someone knows about your ability.

Elsewhere

-Kaya was gawking, seeing your poster, you were only a child, the tears quickly filled her eyes before she clasped her hands together, “Please protect Y/N, Usopp!”

-Koby was stunned, seeing your poster on the wall with other new posters, taking it from the wall, his hands shaking in shock, there was a lump in his throat, terrified to think that you were being hunted, wanted alive only. He couldn’t help but whisper a small prayer that Luffy would keep you safe before he made a promise to himself, that he would get stronger so he could protect you one day.

-Zeff couldn’t help but smile, taking a step back from the wall where he had just hung your bounty poster, the rest of his crew cheering loudly for you.

-Those in Cocoyasi Village were furious, especially Bell-Mere, who instantly knew that the World Government was after you because someone had seen you use your ability to bring her back to life.

-You were in danger.

Elsewhere

-Mihawk docked on a tropical island, ignoring the passed-out men and the other men who were glaring, nursing hangovers, many not realizing who he was right away.

-He made his way to the leader of this drunk crew, a red-haired man with only one arm, Red Hair Shanks.

-The two spoke only for a moment before Mihawk handed him two bounty posters, one was someone Shanks knew very well, seeing the bright smile of the child he sacrificed his arm for.

-He was silent only for a moment before laughing loudly, tilting his head back, like he didn’t have a hangover.

-He announced the newest reason to celebrate, handing Mihawk a mug as well, and many were quickly laughing and celebrating as well, hearing about Luffy’s accomplishments.

-Shanks then noticed the second poster and he spat out his booze in shock, seeing the little girl, wanting alive only, with such a massive bounty.

-He gawked, stunned silent before Benn took the poster, seeing the same thing and very quickly, the Red Hair Pirates all knew your face.

-Mihawk nodded lightly, “That little girl is part of Luffy’s crew, she is his little sister.”

-Silence hung in the air, only for a moment before, “EEHHHHHHH?!?!?!?!?!?!” Mihawk was unbothered by the noise and the panic his ‘friend’s’ crew was now in.

-Shanks slapped your poster against his shoulder, “How in the world is that his little sister?! She’s so stinking cute! There’s no way they’re related!!”

-Mihawk just nodded simply, finishing his drink, “She is. I’ve met her once. She has a unique ability; I saw that horn on her head glowing. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s something the World Government is after.”

-This pissed Shanks off, his haki flaring and several of his men, who were still too drunk or hungover to withstand his haki, passed out.

-Mihawk’s eyes shifted to Shanks who was now looking down at your poster, “A child this young being hunted… hell no. HELL NO!!”

-Mihawk smiled, just slightly, knowing that his plan worked, knowing you were going to be safe, especially with one of the Four Emperors was now fired up to protect you.

[deadite-central]

I've said this before, but Marineford either is the funniest experience or the most gut wrenching experience you could be going through. And the second you get to those gut wrenching moments, they just DON'T STOP

Luffy is still deadset on saving Ace, as he has been for the past two arcs, when we learn about how his brother was genuienly suicidal from back when he was a child, because of what the people around him said about Roger. And now, his family, whether it be the WB pirates or Luffy, will never give up on him, which makes him realize he wants to live. There are obvious parallels to be drawn to Ennies Lobby Robin, both characters realizing that they don't want to die because of the support they have from their family/nakama, which is why it pisses me off so much to see Garp continue to sit on his ass when he hears this, later even fighting Luffy, because he's so caught up in being a marine.

And yet, despite all the hardships, Luffy manages to get to Ace. Manages to save him, and we get one of the coolest team up duos in this entire series, something we have been waiting for since alabasta. It gives you that glimmer of hope, especially if you're reading/watching the series for the first time, that everything will be alright.

Just to completely rip that hope from you in the next few scenes. For a bit of context about me, when I first watched the anime, I was spoiled that Ace died, however, not when, and because I've seen screnshots of him in Wano, I concluded that it was at that point. I was caught completely off guard by this.

And this time, knowing that it was coming, I wasn't shocked, but that inevitability of this is what crushed me. Ace's death was an avoidable tragedy, but a realistic one. He's still young, he should get to make mistakes, and yet, this is where trying to defend his father’s honor, and his brother's life leads him. And when I got to that "Thank you for loving me” panel, man it hurt. He finally knows how loved he was. He dies with a smile on his face. And hell, that just destroys me.

Unfortunetly, that's not the end of things going from bad to worse, as Blackbeard appears with the most vile people he could find in Impel Down, leading to Whitebeard's death, and the taking of his devil fruit, which hey Oda when are you planning toexplain Blackbeard's power more.

Whitebeard's death is an hounorable one, and while it still hurts, there's no way he could have went out in a different way. He defitenlty wasn't anything to sneeze at. And of course, besides the meme factor, "The One Piece is real!" will always be iconic

If you haven't had enough of Akainu being a bastard, when Koby starts hearing everybody's voices, driving him to a panic attack and screaming if any of this makes sense, Akainu's reaction is to attack a sixteen year old marine. Thank the lord, Shanks shows up and finally puts an end to this bloodshed, that the marines will see as a win, despite screwing up on every single possible plane. Because in the end, the side who wins is the side that dictates how the moment will be written about

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"S-She's the girl...the marines were talking about..." Some whitebeard pirates spoke, as they couldn't believe I stood up to their captain like that. While glancing around the battlefield, some marines needed clarification on how I had a simple conversation with the strongest Yonko. "H-How does she know Whitebeard?! Who even is she!?" They questioned, as Koby and his partner were glancing at me, too, wondering the same thing. "I don't get it. A girl like her escaping from the prison should hide! Why bother coming to this living hell!? I wouldn't do that if I was even a girl!!" Kobi gulped slightly, looking at the blonde boy. "Because of what some of the marines said, they described a cute yet powerful girl whose punches can wipe out a whole army!" The blonde's eyes widened. "A-A WHOLE ARMY?! But look at her! She looked nothing like a warrior!" Koby's teeth gritted. "That's what the impel guards said, but look, she's here now..."The two kept staring me down, as Ace did, as some sort of pain and worry was in his eyes. "Pops....Cutie..." He whispered.....as we cut back to me, as Whitebeard was still eying me from behind. 'So this girl is what the marines were talking about...this is the girl arrested with Ace...' He thought as I put my wig in a ponytail until I turned to him. "Old man." "Hmm?" "I don't know if this is true, but when arriving, I heard one of the Navy's say Ace's execution is being pushed earlier. Is that true?" He was silent for a moment before smirking. "So they're gonna execute Ace immediately?" "AH, so you didn't know either?" He chuckled. "Of course not. Sengoku is always one step ahead..are you telling the truth, brat?" I shrugged. "Dunno, but they said they're going with the plan after setting something up; Luffy doesn't know about it..." "I see." "I know you want to rescue Ace, too, so I thought that information could be useful to you." He turned from you to the battlefield. "I see. That was important information. Thank you." I nodded with a smile. "Yeah, no problem." Buggy and Ivanka's eyes and mouths shot open. "HOW CAN SHE TALK ON EQUAL TERMS WITH WHITEBEARD?!" Buggy questioned as I got in stance and glared at Ace's platform. "Don't worry, Ace...we'll save you! Be safe, old man!" Whitebeard nodded, watching as I hopped off the ship, running in Ace's direction.

"H-How is she not scared?!" Mister three-spoke as a shit tone of Marines came my way, as I jumped super high in the air. "Impact Smash!" I slammed my fists onto the ground, spreading them like flies as I ran through the smoke, not stopping whatsoever.

Whitebeard was impressed with my simple attack, as one of his crewmembers ordered others to follow and keep up with me, as they all yelled in reply.

Jimbei stepped forward. "We should go, too! Luffy's already ahead, so If we follow her, we'll catch up to him in no time!" As did Ivanka, he began to jump off, and Buggy was shocked they were doing this.

As I kept moving forward, I dodged more marines' attacks, easily defeating them with punches and kicks, Ivanka and Jimbei aiding me as the three of us continued on, Luffy way ahead in the distance. "We need to get close!" I stated, hopping over a stumbling marine before sliding through another one's legs, kicking him in the but as I jumped back up, simply grabbing a wrist and holding a sword, as I needed him out of the way. "Who knows what trouble Luffy may run into-" "ACK!" "AUGH!" "WAHH!" The three of us looked in the direction of the screams, as a tall man in a yellow striped suit was moving very fast, like light, as explosions came from his foot.

I was slightly impressed with his power as I kept eying him. "He looks strong!" I spoke as Jimbei looked annoyed. "That's Admiral Kizaru; he's a pain in the ass with his devil fruit power." I nodded. "I see, so he can kick explosions, correct?" "Close, little one, but not close enough!" My eyes widened when he was in front of us, light coming out of his feet as he kicked us, but I moved Jimbei and Ivanka out of the way, us barely dodging it. "I didn't believe my ears when they said a tiny, bigger girl was escaping impel down, but I have to say, I am shocked that the words were true!" He spoke, his hands going to his pockets. "Don't push your luck. Even if all of you escaped the prison, I won't let you invade that easily." He simply spoke, and my eyes glared up at him until Luffy ran past us, as Kizaru saw. "YOU'RE THE GUY FROM SABAODY!!!" He screamed, as Kizaru only kept looking at him."I would ruin you there because the Celestial Dragons wanted it." He got into a stance, and his foot lit up brightly again as a creepy smile that pedos lined his face. "Straw Hat Luffy..." And that he began to kick Luffy. My eyes widened, and Ivanka acted as if she got in front of him, but I got in front of her, pushing her out of the way. "TWISTED KICK!!" I yelled, clashing together, deflecting the explosion easily, as Luffy lunched back. However, it still didn't affect how big the blast was, as a giant ass amber circle formed through the battlefield, the ground shaking rapidly. Buggy and the pirates with them had their arms up and back, crying with fear as the wind subsided; I slid back on my feet, as did Kizaru, Luffy smiling up at me. "Y/n-chan! Thank you!" "DON'T BE SO RECKLESS NEXT TIME IDIOT!" I snapped as he ran to go to Ace more and heard Kizaru sigh. "Man, you deflected it...I'm surprised, little one.." My teeth gritted, turning to him. "Don't think I'd let you get Luffy so easily...we both have a common goal." One of his eyebrows rose. "Really? And what is that?" "To save Ace! Isn't that Obvious-" I was interrupted when another bright light was shown in the smoke, Ivanka's eyes widening as she saw a familiar figure. "Kouma!" she yelled, as a man with a panda hat on had his mouth wide open, as something inside of it was charging and locking on to Ivanka. "IVAN-CHAN!" I yelled as this man blew lasers at her, which she dodged as she looked at him with disbelief. I sighed with relief, knowing that She was okay as Kizaru was in front of me again, about to explode me more until I dodged, kicking him in the back. However, before he could tumble, he teleported, his hands still in his pocket as he went to my right, about to slam his foot into my side, before I grabbed it, launching him away from me quickly, running to him as he got back up, both my fist and his foot clashing with each other again. He smirked down at me. "You strong, little one; too bad you're on their side; you'd make a good marine.." My teeth gritted. "Does it look like I want to be one of your snot-nosed undergrads who doesn't grant freedom?! No thanks!" I pushed his foot off, both of us charging at each other multiple times, quick, faster than lightning, as no one else saw what was going on, as all we did was attack and block each other.

But, as he tried to do another explosion to me, I blocked it again, the blast affecting everyone else but not me as I stood there blankly, holding the wig on my head.

Realizing my power, he whistled before setting his leg back down. "Man, you deflected it again! I'm impressed." My head tilted. "Is that all you got, striped man?"

He smiled smugly at my comment. "Not at all, but You're strong and wasting my time; I won't bother you anymore, Little one, so I must kick some other people to the curb. Good luck getting Ace,, if you can make it there!" He suddenly left, and my eyes widened. "HEY GET BACK HERE!" I yelled, not liking he just went into our little fight, as Luffy was worried about Ivanka, who only had a hole through her hair. "DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME YOU TWO! LEAVE KUMA TO ME AND JUST GO AHEAD!" Luffy nodded. "Got it!" He bolted to where I was, grabbing my hand and pulling me with him as we headed to continue to Ace, trying our best to not keep our guard down.

As we continued forwards, some weak marine man and a clueless marine women tried to stop us, but we simply got passed them easily.

Running forwards more, Luffy dodged a man with a spiked club, his leg stretching and kicking him like a whip, before ducking from a sword, punching him out of the way as he gritted, looking my way as I slammed my fist in the ground, scattering more Marines. "These guys are stong!" He spoke, as I nodded. "Yeah! But we need to keep moving forwards!" I spoke, not noticing certain people watching us fight off others as well, as one of the warlord brought the dead back to life?!

My eyes widened with shock. "OHH THEY'RE ZOMBIES!!" A fat creature had a wide grin to his face, bringing the Zombies to us. "Moria! We can't deal with him now!" I turn to him. "You know this fat creature?!" He nodded. "yes! I defeated his ass!" I snorted. "Be the thinks he can defeat you again." As some of the Zombies jumped up in the air, one of them punched to me, as I jumped, simply hopping on his back, pushing him to the floor, as Luffy did the same, but one of them knocked him down, as he moved out of the way quickly, looking back up.

A weird looking Half horse half zombie man shot his guns at me, as I jsust stood their with a tilted head, myself jumping high, as my fingers went close to it's face. "Simple flick." I stated, my fingers flicking onto it's head, as it suddenly launched backwards, crashing into more of the Zombies as Moria's mouth opened with shock. "HE WAS FLICKED?! YOU WERE DEFEATED BY A FLICK?!" Landing simply, the Zombies we thought we defeated got back up, soon surrounding us as I gritted my teeth with annoyance. "Should of learned from the walking dead! These guy's can't die!" I tried to think of something, as some marines ran towards us as well, aiding the Zombies.

Thinking and dodging with Luffy, I looked to the Moria guy, as he probably is the cause.

But, the more we tried to get to him, the more we both got hit, as Ace couldn't take it anymore. "CUTIE!! LUFFY!!" He yelled, making everyone stop, as we both turned to him. "I KNOW YOU BOTH KNOW IT! LUFFY, YOU AND I, WE'RE BOTH PIRATES!! WE BOTH SAILED ON THE SEA AS WE LIKED! I HAVE MY OWN ADVENTURES!! I HAVE MY OWN FRIENDS!! I WANT YOU TO...KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF OF THEM!!" His words shocked us, as we didn't listen and kept moving forward. "DO YOU THINK A WIMP LIKE YOU, LUFFY, AND A GIRL LIKE YOU, Y/N, WANTS TO SAVE ME?! DO YOU THINK THAT I'LL ALLOW YOU BOTH TO DO THAT?! LUFFY! IT'S SO HUMILIATING!!" I know what he's doing; he's worried for Luffy and me as well, as I could sense the lining pitch into his cry to us, which made us not stop but keep going, confusing him more. "DON'T YOU HERE ME?! GO BACK YOU TWO! WHY DID YOU BOTH COME HERE?!" He closed his eyes, his teeth gritting with total regret as my heart broke then and there, myself kicking a marine away from me and ducking a sword.

I can tell he was blaming himself for all of this, as it all wasn't true.

He doesn't deserve this..

He doesn't deserve to die for living his life.

He deserves fairness, as of the rest of us do.

"ACE!!" I screamed as his eyes shot open, Looking straight at me. "I DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T WANT US TO DO THIS!!! YOU SAID BACK AT IMPEL DOWN YOU WERE GETTING REVENGE FOR A CREW MEMBER!! I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT GETTING ARRESTED FOR THAT IS SUCH BULLSHIT!" I broke a sword quickly with my hands, and he kept staring at me as I continued. "YOU DYING ON THAT PLATFORM GIVES THESE MARINES A WIN, AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO DIE BY JUST LIVING YOUR DAMN LIFE!! SO STOP BEING IDIOTIC TO YOUR BROTHER AND LET HIM AND I HELP YOU!! LET US GIVE YOU THE FAIRNESS YOU DESERVE!" I finished, himself not believing your words as they struck his heart, Garps as well, as he had a memory of him and Luffy, cheering and pressing their glasses of Liqued together, forging their brotherhood. He also remembered you, sitting in the cell with him, a smile on your face as you were chained up, not caring about what was going to happen to you; he knew when he talked with you those five hours, something was different, as he has never seen any girl like you, with a strong heart, and a pride so rich.

No one else could believe my words either, not believing that Luffy was his brother, as Gold Roger and his wife died when Ace was born.

As they kept wondering, me and Luffy kept running, towards Ace, as his eyes never left me, as we kicked the shit out of more marines, not bothered by our scratches and bruises.

But, as we kept fighting our way through, Moria sent more of his zombies to surround us, before a huge stream of water went in front of us, onto the Zombies.

Eyes widened, and Luffy and I turned to Jimbei, who landed beside us. "Jimbei!" I spoke, smiling, as he turned to Moria. "If I remember correctly, Moria, your zombie soldiers can't take salt." Moria's eyes widened with shock as Jimbei turned to us. "Luffy-Kun, Y/n-san, let me handle them!"

I nodded. "Got it, be careful." Luffy smiled. "Thank you!" As we continued forward, he ran to follow me, and Jimbei turned to Moria again.

As Sengoku grew annoyed watching us, the marines were shocked that Jimbei was with us. "DON'T LET THE ROOKIES GET AWAY WITH THIS WAR!" With his words, A Giant stood before us, causing us to stop as I looked up at it. "GOT IT! I'M GONNA CRUSH THEM UP!" He lifted his giant club, and I quickly Zoomed, moving Luffy out of the way. As I jumped high in the air before his club hit the ground, his eyes widened in shock as I wasn't there.

My face was blank, my wig staying on my head and blowing with the wind as I zoomed to him, as I was right in front of his face.

Getting ready, my arm went back, and my face turned serious. "NORMAL....PUNCH!!" My left fist slammed into his face as wind and some energy came out of me, blasting throughout the area. Shocked from the amount of current, Luffy, as well as some marines and pirates, covered their eyes with debris as I pushed my fist more onto the giant, his body soon exploding.

Eyes widened, Buggy and Mister Three's mouths widened as blood splattered everywhere, concrete exploding while his guts fell down, as some marines and pirates took cover, others vomiting at the sight. In contrast, others just pissed their pants, as I landed on the ground simply, not a single drop of dirt or blood on me.

Ace's mouth was wide open, but Sengoku's was broader, as he and Garp could not believe how I defeated the giant with just one punch. "H-How..." Garp gulped, underestimating a girl like you, as Whitebeard saw the whole thing, not fearing but showing emotion of proudness, as a smirk was on his face. "I underestimated the brat...she's stronger than she looks."

Kolby, some of the Admrials, and even warlords were shocked as they all eyed me, as my eyes were darkened. "Send all the fucking people you want ... kiss ass..." I spoke, looking up at Sengoku. "BECAUSE NO MATTER HOW STRONG YOU THINK YOUR MEN ARE!! I WILL ALWAYS BE STRONGER, AND I WON'T STOP UNTIL ACE IS OUT OF THOSE CHAINS!!" I snapped, Sengoku's teeth gritting with mixed fear and annoyance as he knew he had to be careful about the men he sent to me.

But, my words didn't affect him; it affected some of the Warlords, as a particular blonde male with a devilish smile chuckled, his outfit looking like he came from a local Zoo. "Man...that's what the marines were saying when describing her as powerful; I'm glad I got to see it in person...just one punch took one of us out, yikes...she's also cute too, with that serious look onto her face FUFUFUFU~ Am I right Mihawk?" A swordsman beside him glared at me, slight sweat dripping down his forehead as the cross on his neck glimmered. 'This girl...is strong....' He thought as he misunderstood me as well but kept his composure. 'No normal human woman like her can do what she just did..and she didn't even change a shade of emotion when killing her opponent; there's not even a scratch or ounce of blood on her....they're fools if they aren't going to be serious now.' Thinking more, the male leaned closer to Mihawk with the same stupid grin."Aww, come on, why the blank face? I know you watched her too; you gotta be impressed with this mystery girl, huh?" The blonde's question made Mihawk glance away. "She just got Lucky; we need to up our game now that we know her true power. Besides, I'm no fool like you to fall for the opponent at hand, flamingo." The man laughed again. "What can I say? She's adorable, trying to be all serious after she punched that giant to death., but we both know under all that adorable exterior, she has a strong demeanor; sucks we are on the opposite side...."

Ace's heart races as your body shines in the sunlight, as did buggies, as your eyes still were glued to Sengoku, no one attacking you right away.

"Marco," Whitebeard spoke as the pineapple turned to him, smirking still. "We can't let that brat or the kid die." He said as Marco nodded, impressed with my attack, too. "Alright." He simply stated, looking to the battle as I was still standing there, marines soon starting to charge at me.

"GET HER AND THEM!!" A marine yelled as Ivanka's crew and some pirates from Whitebeard and Impel Down surrounded me as we all charged toward each other, continuing the war.

Some cannons fired at Whitebeard, which he easily deflected, as everyone continued to fight alongside you and Luffy, protecting and wanting to help save Ace.

It was a madhouse again, and Ace even felt more guilty, his eyes looking to the floor.

"Slash him to pieces!" Someone ordered marines heading to Luffy, and he easily dodged them, taking them down, as well as us, until they started firing cannons, which made Ivonka's crew scatter.

Me and Luffy still ran for it, towards Ace, I deflected the cannons with my fist, as Luffy just blew up like a balloon, both of us reflecting them back to where they came from.

Buggy and Mister Three were impressed, but instead of Luffy, they were watching me with a red face, but lined with slight purple with how powerful I was, some of their allies getting pissed I was getting the attention.

"Buggy! Let's show the world how powerful we are!" One spoke, another one agreeing with the pirate. "Yeah! Let's go to Whitebeard and defeat him!" Many thoughts ran through his head if he managed to beat Whitebeard, wondering what his thoughts would be.

Will you think he's strong? Will you think he's arrogant? No, No, maybe handsome or scared. His thoughts were running wild as a derpy smile pressed his lips, thinking of the reactions you may make.

But, as Buggy was thinking those things, Whitebeard's fleet was still moving forward, trying to get to Ace, as a certain captain Squidward was gone, as Whitebeard got some other fleets to bring the pirates to full force, as he wanted them to Sink the navy ships.

They agreed and followed his orders.

Confused about why all the pirates, except Ivanka's crew, moved left and right, away from heading to Ace, you and Luffy ignored it, as you two continued forwards.

Ivanka's crew struggled against the Marines, they being quite strong without devil fruits as you all did your best to power through.

But, it seemed the marines surrounded us more and more until a familiar voice was heard. "DEATH WINK!" A powerful blast was in front, marines scattering everywhere, and Luffy looked behind to see Iva-chan all healthy and well. "IVAN CHAN!" I smiled as she landed in front of us with her usual smile. "Can you help us clear the way to Ace?!" I asked, turning to Jimbei as well. "Jimbei! Can you help as well?" He turned, and both nodded while more marines charged at us.

Jimbei got an instance. "Fishman Karate!!"

Ivanka got in stance, too. "DEATH!!"

Luffy flew his arms back. "GUM, GUM!!!!"

And I shot up in the air, forming a tight fist with my left hand. "FIST POUND!!!!"

"5000 BRICK FIST/WINK/BAZOOKA/SMASH!!!" We all attacked our special moves, causing a big blast/explosion in front of us, scattering all marines who stood in our way.

It allowed us to clear the way, as Ivanka. Yelled to move forward; as we did, my eyes locked on Ace again. 'We're coming...Ace...' I thought, never leaving my Gaze as a marine captain grew annoyed. "STOP STRAW HAT AND THE OTHERS!" made Moria step before us, laughing. "MUGIWARA!!! I WON'T LET YOU GET THROUGH-EH?" He paused when I jumped in the air to him, and I slammed my fist into his face, causing the warlord to launch back pretty far, not allowing him to do anything.

As he gritted his teeth while landing, Jimbei ran to me. "Go Y/n-san! Don't waste any time! I got Moria!" Unsure of how safe it is for him to fight this guy alone, I knew Luffy needed my help to get to Ace, so I nodded. "Right, be safe, thank you Jimbei." I ran past, heading to catch up to Luffy.

But, my eyes widened when a devil fruit user, who seemed to possess smoke, attacked him with his weapons; as my eyes widened, Ivanka called to him.

The man who attacked him was pretty handsome, as his hair was spiked up slightly, he had cigars in his mouth, and a jacket only hugged his torso, which revealed his abs.

I don't understand why people show off their bodies like that, but I knew this guy was a marine, as his jacket red 'Justice' on the back.

Luffy went to his second gear, attacking him with his arms. Gatling attack, which the man was able to avoid as he was able to launch in the air, before a woman with a sword was about to slice him, until I quickly went in front of Luffy, as he disappeared and I bit the woman sword, breaking it with my teeth.

Her eyes widened with shock, fear lining her face as she looked at me, The man Noticed too, but was cautious as Luffy was now behind him, giving the man the same attack, as he dodged it into the air.

But, more smoke arose from his body, forming long lines to Luffy, taking the shape of tentacles, which he got a hold of as he was now on Luffy, pressing his weapon against the boy's throat slamming him into the ground.

"Luffy!" I yelled, worried as I hit the girl's weak point with my hand, causing her to pass out as I bolted to the both of them, the Marine sensing as he glanced my way, launching smoke at me, as I dodged it quickly. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I snapped, slamming my fist into his cheek; he got knocked back but landed and slid on his feet.

Gritting his teeth with annoyance, he should have deflected your punch easily, as it would have had no effect, but as his eyes looked at you, you showed anger and blankness as you stood in front of Luffy.

"You the girl they were describing.........you were able to punch me, that usually never happens...who are you, Kid?" My fist and teeth clench. "It doesn't matter who I am!! Ace's life matters, and I won't let you or any opponent get in my way because..."

Looking up from the ground, my eyes darkened, and glaring at the man, as I got instant, ready to fight my first person with real powers.

"FAIRNESS CAN BE BROUGHT TO GOOD PEOPLE! NOT THE ONES WHO PICK ON THE WEAK!!"

Author: Sorry if it was short today; wanted to get something out before my motivation was lost. Another chapter should come out sometime next week, but work has been so crazy, so I have no idea when I'd be posting another chapter of this. I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll see you all in the next one.

Transmission Transition

Yeah buddy, I'd want some time alone too after that full-blown verbal holy war Kendrick Lamar dragged your ass with. Kinda shit that makes you need to stop and reflect on your life choices. Drake is back and he is straight-up pulling a Crane Wife hot on the heels of Stussy putting words to some interesting concepts we've seen.

It's been a while, so for a refresher I care a lot about X Drake coming back around because we dangled his report on Wano as a Chekov's Gun way back at the start of Egghead. If he's the one to open up a reinterpretation of Wano...Drake's scenes overlap with Kiku/Izo's a fair amount. So once again, hot on the heels of Stussy speaking that potential baggage aloud here's Drake playing very nice as a followup. Drake, Stussy, Marco. That was the trio I was looking for in this pseudo-anthology's third side story. Speaking of...

It's been a while. Always had nascent ideas about the idea Zoro busts out an attack called Rashomon with Kuma way back when. Of course I've made plenty of mentions of the film reference. Even if you haven't seen it you've seen the story structure. Three POVs on the same event, the real magic is in stitching the truth together out of three unreliable narrators. Marco's perfect to spell it all out as the sorta "framing device" between Wano & Egghead.

It's hard to tell week-to-week what we'll do with this one, but I think we can see what our trio is for Egghead:

First we step away to see a collection of side stories, end on filing in the truth of Sabo/Vivi in Reverie. This though obscured what happened in the lab.

Next we give Bonney a whirl through her backstory with Kuma, where he'll both be a bit of an unreliable narrator and also rewrite some events we've seen prior through giving his POV. When we return we reiterate last night was a gap and add the mystery pile of food for Luffy.

Vegapunk's Broadcast, duh. It was more of a distraction while we saw some relation to the main plot but it still fits the bill. We've done Stussy, we're getting Drake, if you do loop Marco in than it's a way to complete the ASL theme with an Ace connection too. And don't sleep on the York focus here either.

Of course, we'll need to see the next few chapters to really evaluate that. Each one have had their content that raises questions, unreliable narrators and oddball tropes like that. But let's get back to this chapter, there was a cool running line in there I liked:

I could riff on Koby, Grus, & Kujaku getting a bit meta here but I'll save that until I know the next few steps. Kujaku gets to shine a lil more in this SWORD segment as the one checking on Drake but her line here gets a lot more interesting when Bluegrass & Doll have a similar mindset attacking the giants. Bluegrass especially encouraging the young ones to step up and become a star. Makes me think a lot about our OP for the anime adaptation The end of the dream, the end of the sea...but first we have to make a shining legend of ourselves.

It's just funny to me one could interpret the lyrics to "Us" as a threat this arc maybe will break the direction I've long hoped it would is all I'm saying. Let's bring this all home with the main highlight of the chapter though.

It's not just the stinger, the Gorosei seemed a little shocked their first hits on Robonosuke stopped everything. York is relieved but recall last time we talked about her theory that's where the antenna snail was hiding was just that, a theory.

Type of thing that could go either way and either option could have a lot of ways of unfolding. That said...this is a perfect ending if some unknown force is about to take advantage of these gaps to justify being in prime position to hijack the broadcast. Kinda feels like it'd be a cop out to have Robonosuke hanging around this whole time just to get smacked around a little. Still very, very excited for this next stint.

SPOILER WARNING: The next part includes multiple spoilers for the recent arcs.

ASL Brothers (who wasn’t even brothers in this)

The backstories for the ASL Brothers are similar to The Ocean Where The Stars Follow You 💫 where Roger entrusted his son to Rayleigh instead of Garp.

Silver D. Ace | Gol D. Ace

A famous Bounty Hunter on Sabaody, well-known as 'Ace of Spades'. He was raised by Silver Rayleigh and Shakky. Ace was loved and knew he was loved. The boy ran wild on the Sabaody, recking havoc here and there. It was lucky for the Marines that he hadn't run into any Celestial Dragon yet because he would definitely punch one.

Sabo

The Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, famous with the name 'Flame Emperor'. He set sail as 10 from Dawn Island and got shot down by a Celestial Dragon. Dragon and the Revolutionary Army recused him and he chose to stay with them. Sabo didn't lose his memory but there was nothing worth remembering about his life back in Goa Kingdom. He found his place in the Revolutionary Army. (The one with the Mera Mera no mi from the start was Sabo)

Monkey D. Luffy

The Captain of the famous Straw Hat Pirates. He grew up a tad more lonely but was still loved. Garp didn't drop him at Dadan so Luffy spent more time in Foosha Village, helping Makino with her bar. He eventually ventured up the mountain, met Dadan, and reached the Grey Terminal. He set sail at 17 and the boy had been a chaos gremlin since then, bringing all sorts of changes to the water of the Grand Line.

Ace & Sabo

Sabo knew quite a lot about the famous Bounty Hunter Ace of Spades. It came with the job. He found Ace's chaotic behavior funny. He also assumed that Ace was the son of Rayleigh and Shakky.

Ace only knew a thing or two about the mysterious 'Flame Emperor' of the Revolutionary Army. But the guy sounded fun in his opinion.

Ace & Luffy

Ace and Luffy knew about each other through Deuce. Ace also heard quite a lot about Luffy from Shanks. Ace thought Luffy sounded annoyingly endearing while Luffy thought Ace was a cool guy.

Sabo & Luffy

Sabo was shocked upon learning that his boss, his savior, Dragon had a son who was living on the same island as he did. He was a bit jealous of Luffy for having Dragon's unconditional love while Sabo's birth parents... When Luffy's first bounty was out, Sabo noticed his old goggles hanging around Luffy's neck. So he laughed and laughed and wished that they had met back on Dawn Island.

Luffy was there when Sabo got blown up. He picked up the top hat and the goggles. Years later, Luffy found a treasure stash with a diary of a boy named Sabo, the same name stitched on the hat.

ASL Meeting

The three of them had a brief meeting when Luffy arrived at Sabaody. Later, Ace spent a lot of time sulking while Rayleigh trained Luffy. Sabo took a liking to Luffy when they met again in Dressrosa. Sabo and Ace annoyed each other when they ran into the other on Sabaody.

Straw Hat Pirates

Except for Luffy as the Captain, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates include members different from Canon. They are all loyal to Luffy the same.

Koby

Firstmate and Navigator of the Straw Hat, 'Treasure Hunter' Koby.

His story started similar to canon where he accidentally got himself on Alvida's pirate ship. However, after a year, he got recused by a bounty hunter who was actually Nojiko. He tried to help her buy back her village by gathering treasure. That was how he started his journey as a treasure hunter. After a while, seeking treasure and money had become a habit to him. He loved the sea and wished to travel to every corner of the world.

Koby was the first member Luffy invited. But he officially joined after the fall of Arlong Park. He fought with a staff, and he and Luffy trained against each other sometimes.

Shimotsuki Washi | Shimotsuki Kuina

Swordman of the Straw Hat, Washi of the 'White Blade'.

The swordsman who aimed to be the Greatest, carrying his promise to his childhood friend and a white sword sounds similar right? However, Washi's story carried more than that. He set sail not only to challenge Mihawk but also to find his missing childhood friend, Roronoa Zoro. Wandering on the sea for a while, he gained a reputation as a bounty hunter.

Washi was the second member Luffy invited and technically the first member to join. He used one sword style but could also use more than one sword in combat.

Washi's body turned into a female once he got drenched in seawater and turned back into a male once he got dry. It got him into conflict with Pudding as she didn't know how to treat him. This strange phenomenon is actually related to Washi's backstory involving Ivankov's Devil Fruit and the missing case of Zoro.

Kaya

Doctor of the Straw Hat, 'Praying Angel' Kaya.

The young lady who chose to study to become a doctor instead of inheriting her family business immediately accepted the invitation of a young pirate and set sail with them. She wanted to travel around the world and study every plant out there to use them for medical. She also set sail with the hope of meeting her friend, Usopp on the sea.

Kaya was the third member Luffy invited. Along with her was their first ship, Going Merry. She had accidentally eaten the Hito Hito no mi, Mythical Type, Model: Tenshi as a child but she didn't realize it until she fell into the sea and almost drowned. Her Devil Fruit allowed her to cast boosts and buffs on people via praying. She also could transform into a humanoid figure with wings and a glowing halo but she only learned it after the 2 years Timeskip.

Charlotte Pudding

Chef of the Straw Hat, 'Sweets Taster' Pudding.

A young chef who hid their heritage and dreamed of finding All Blue did ring a bell, right? She was a chef who worked at the sea restaurant, Baratie. She loved women, wouldn't hesitate to kick a man, and loved cooking overall.

Pudding was the fourth member Luffy invited who also was the last member of the East Blue gang. She fought with her legs, taking after Zeff's combat style.

Pudding used to hide her third eye but after a while, she was comfortable enough with the crew to share it. She also got frustrated with Washi due to him sometimes turning into a woman, making her confused about how to treat him.

Similar to Sanji's 'Vinsmoke' storyline, Pudding was forced to be involved in a wedding-turn-assassination where her full name was revealed.

Deuce

Novelist and Informant of the Straw Hat, 'Masked' Deuce.

A young man who abandoned his old name, and his medical studies to follow his passion for writing and become a novelist or a journalist rather. He wished to write and publish the best story ever. He was the pen pal of Luffy whom he met as a child when Luffy was traveling with the Red Hair Pirates for a bit.

Deuce was the one who immediately invited himself to Luffy's ship once they met at Whisky Peak. He was a swordsman with fierce swordsmanship. After 2 years of Timeskip, he got a new unique sword that could light itself on fire.

Before meeting up with Luffy again, Deuce was a journalist for Big News Morgan. That was how he got himself into the Grand Line. Deuce got his new name via Ace whom he met at Sabaody.

Wednesday Lily | Nefertari D. Vivi

Assasin and Strategist of the Straw Hat, 'Miss Devil' Wednesday Lily.

The Princess of Alabasta chose to continue on her journey with the Straw Hat crew after they defeated Crocodile. Luckily for her, someone in the Marines mistook her name for Lily instead of Vivi and took her codename Miss Wednesday as her last name. Vivi adapted and used it as her new name instead.

Vivi wasn't exactly a combatant, especially one-on-one. However, she was incredibly clever and usually ran a background plan while the rest of the crew fought forward. She had a pair of dangers coated in poisons that were made by her and Kaya's combined knowledge.

There was the whole thing in Enies Lobby where the CP9 tried to kidnap Vivi under the Government-slash-Imu's order. You can figure out how that went.

Rami | Trafalgar D. Water Lammy

Historian of the Straw Hat, 'Snow White' Rami.

A girl in her mid-20s with pale white skin and black hair, looking like the famous princess Snow White from an old fairy tale. She wished to undercover the truth history of the world.

Rami joined the Straw Hat along with her partner, Cain after Luffy defeated Enel on the Sky Island, Skypedia. She had eaten the Logia Devil Fruit, the Kumo Kumo no mi, allowing her to turn into a cloud. Due to living on Skypedia for quite a time, her cloud can mimic Sky Island's cloudland and white sea.

Rami's true name was Trafalgar D. Water Lammy, younger sister of Law. She was saved by Cain who spent 10 years treating her Amber Lead while she stayed asleep for those 10 years. The leftover side effect of her sickness was her pale white skin. Her black hair was just dyed, a call back to her older brother.

Cain | Punk-07

Scientist of the Straw Hat, 'Apple Biter' Cain.

A young-looking boy with a mind that was way older than he looked. He had white hair, golden star eyes, and dark skin. He was a scientist who would never stop pursuing science. However, his most important goal was to keep Rami alive and save.

Cain joined the Straw Hat, following Rami. At the start, he wasn't really that loyal to Luffy but over time, he grew to attach and appreciated them. He seemed to have a huge amount of knowledge that one shouldn't have. He had a lot of inventions and could create new things on hand. His favorite weapons were apple bombs with multiple effects.

Cain was actually a Vegapunk's Clone from another timeline where Lammy survived instead of Law and was the user of the Ope Ope no mi. The Lammy from that timeline saved Cain who was created by Lilith after Egghead's Incident. She also performed the Perpetual Youth Surgery on him. Cain in the old timeline eventually managed to time travel and arrived at this timeline. He saved Rami as a way to thank her and eventually grew very attached to her.

Uta

Musician of the Straw Hat, 'Singing Puppeteer' Uta.

The adopted daughter of Red-Haired Shanks who used to be a musician of Red Hair Pirates. She dreamed of becoming a famous singer. When the Red Hair Pirates left Dawn Island, she promised to join Luffy's crew one day once they met again.

Three years before Luffy set sail, Uta got turned into a toy by Sugar, leaving her stuck at Dressrosa while no one remembered her. After Sugar was defeated, Uta also got free. She officially joined the Straw Hat after they defeated Doflamingo.

Uta was the user of the Uta Uta no mi.

Marco

Watcher and Assistant Doctor of the Straw Hat, Marco 'The Phoenix'.

The former 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. He was in a position similar to Yamato in canon where Luffy promised him a place on his ship if he ever felt like being a pirate again.

Marco eventually joined the Straw Hat.

Fate of Original Straw Hat Pirates

What are the canon members of the Straw Hat Pirates up to?

Roronoa Zoro

Zoro was the missing childhood friend whom Washi/Kuina set sail to find. They also had a promise to become the Greatest Swordsmen in the world. So where was Zoro?

The story went back to the night when the Revolutionary Army docked at the Shimotsuki Village. Kuina upon witnessing Ivankov's power, begged them to change her into a boy. Meanwhile, Zoro had a conversation with Kuma which led to Kuma sending Zoro away. The destination was Mihawk's castle.

Zoro had a habit of wandering around so after the first few days, no one in the dojo noticed his absence while Kuina had her mind full of adjusting to her new male body. When someone finally noticed, the Revolutionary Army already left so there was no one telling them about where Zoro was. They all assumed he went missing.

Zoro arrived at Mihawk's castle where he was found by another resident of it, the Ghost Princess, Perona. But Zoro's arrival wasn't without a cost. He lost his memory except for his name. Perona patched him up while waiting for Mihawk to go back home.

When Mihawk finally got back, he reluctantly accepted the boy due to Perona's persistent begging and Zoro's own condition. At least, Zoro was interested in swords, unlike Perona. In the end, Mihawk's tiny family grew a little bit.

(Listen, I loved the Goth Family.)

Mihawk was like a teacher and a father figure to Zoro while Perona was his annoying older sister.

Until one day, Perona went missing so Zoro went to look for her. It was Kuma that sent Perona to Gekko Moria's ship. Perona met the Straw Hat when they were there. Zoro also was there and he almost met them, met Washi. But Kuma arrived and sent both of them back to Mihawk's place. He also left Zoro with a few confusing words.

Nami

Nami's fate is currently undecided. When we finally get to know more about her origin, I will adapt more.

Whatever the fate of Nami right now, she wasn't the adopted daughter of Bellemere nor the adopted sister of Nojiko. She wasn't on the battlefield that day.

In the meantime, just imaging Nami living on Weatheria.

Usopp

Usopp was a childhood friend of Kaya whom she hoped to meet again one day. So where was he?

Let's go back to the beginning of the story. Like in canon, Usopp's mother, Banchina fell ill. Due to Kaya's devil fruit power, her illness got postponed for a bit. Long enough for them to get a better doctor to help her. Banchina got better. But the near-death experience made her quite scared so she did something. She sent a letter to Yasopp and this led to the Red Hair Pirates arriving at Syrup Island to pick up Banchina and Usopp. They had been on the ship of the Red Hair Pirates since then.

When they spent time on the Red Hair Pirates, Usopp and Uta became something like friends. Usopp was there in Dressross as he planned to meet Kaya when the Straw Hat came to wreck Doflamingo's plan. He was the one who jumped Sugar with Kaya and freed her victims including Uta. Usopp got to reunite with Kaya and then got to reunite with Uta. He also got to meet Luffy whom he got to hear from the Red Hair Pirates.

Vinsmoke Sanji

Since Pudding took Sanji's role, did that mean Sanji was still in Germa? The answer was no! Where was the fun in it!?

Here is what happened instead. Sanji ate the Memo Memo no mi. Sanji erased the memory of him from everyone in Germa. Sanji ran away. Sanji met Law and Corazon. Sanji went with them. Sanji found out about Vergo. Sanji erased Vergo's memory about Corazon being a marine. One thing led to another and they managed to escape Doflamingo's grip! They met Bepo, Penguin, and Shachi. Sadly, they had to part away now. Bepo went with Law and Corazon while Sanji stayed with Penguin and Shachi.

Sanji read about All Blue, finding it fascinating so he wanted to find it. Shachi and Penguin just rolled with it so they sorta became a crew. They couldn't decide who was the captain. They somehow got a submarine and more members. They… became a restaurant on the sea. They accidentally attacked a petty marine captain so now they were pirates. They still were a restaurant.

Sanji and the All Blue(?) Pirates finally traveled into the Grand Line.

Sanji and the crew met the Straw Hat on Sabaody where Sanji had a fun time cooking for Luffy. They were friends now.

At one point during the Straw Hat's 2 years separation, Sanji was captured back by his family due to him messing up and releasing all the memories he stole. And then came the storyline where Sanji and Pudding got set up for marriage by their birth family whom both of them absolutely wanted nothing to do with. Sanji and Pudding quickly got along like a house on fire. Then Luffy came and wrecked the wedding and Big Mom's Tea Party. Shachi and Penguin came along too after they met the Straw Hat again during Dressrosa.

Tony Tony Chopper

The earlier part of Chopper's backstory remained the same until a person stepped foot on Drum Island, the Marine Captain Trafalgar Law.

Anyway, long story short, Wapol was no longer king, and Chopper followed Law. We will get into more of this in Law's part.

Nico Robin

Robin, Robin, Robin! Oh, what was Miss All-Sunday up to?

Following the same storyline in Alabasta, Robin at the end was saved by Luffy. She collapsed afterward, unlike in canon, and was found by the Revolutionary Army.

So we had Robin the ‘Light of the Revolution’.

Like Sabo, she eventually found a place in the Revolutionary Army and became good friends with Koala, Sabo, and Hack.

Robin was there during the aftermath of Enies Lobby. She thanked Luffy for saving her while he asked her if she was happy now. Robin said yes and they smiled at each other. She also apologized to Vivi.

She was also there during Dressrosa.

Franky

Not gonna lie, Franky's part was a tough one to come up with. So I went with the Revolutionary Army's member Franky instead.

Franky's backstory remained the same, sorry Tom. Then Enies Lobby happened and now Franky was wanted too.

Here was where things diverged. Franky met Koala and Robin who currently just joined the Revolutionary Army. They talked and Franky thought that being a Revolutionary didn't sound too bad. So Franky decided to join too!

The new ship for the Straw Hat, the Thousand Sunny was still made by Franky but Cain also involved a lot in the process.

Franky was also there during Dressrosa.

Brook

Where was Brook during all of this? He was going on a tour around the world of course! The man can't leave his fans disappointed.

You see, Brook's shadow didn't get stolen by Moria. Kuma showed at one point and sent him away to the Twin Capes where he got reunited with Laboon. Brook was just a very famous pop star right now. He visited Laboon and Crocus regularly. He was there when the Straw Hat cross the mountain to enter the Grand Line, giving them quite a scare.

Jinbe

To know what Jinbe was doing, we must go back to an important event, the Summit War. The thing is that the War didn't happen at all because joke on you Ace wasn't a pirate.

Here was what happened instead. Ace wasn't captured but Marco was. Jinbe did a 10/10 move to get in the Impel Down like Luffy and Hancock. Jinbe flipped everything once they were on floor 6 and ran away with Marco. Ivankov and the Revolutionary Army just tagged along to get out too. Jinbe was no longer a Warlord but oh well.

So now Jinbe was still the Captain of the Sun Pirates. He allied himself with Luffy after the boy saved the Fishmen Island during the Hody's mess.

Other Expansion

Let's see some other characters and what they were up to.

Yamato

Yamato's story was mostly the same but she didn't get to meet Ace.

Trafalgar D. Water Law

Law's story remained the same up until he and Corazon met Sanji. Due to Sanji, Corazon was alive. After they parted away with Sanji, Penguin, and Shachi, Law with Corazon and Bepo moved away. Sengoku got the wind of them and they got in the marine. Law was not very happy about this at first. Then he started to exploit the resources the Marine gave him.

Law eventually became a Vice Admiral. He didn't plan to become an Admiral, sharing the same idea as Garp.

Bepo and Chopper were with Law.

Law didn't really get along with Smoker.

During Punk Hazard, Law met Luffy and the Straw Hat, seeing the chance to use Luffy for his goal, he proposed an alliance. And Luffy in a leap of insanity, agreed.

After Dressrosa, Law kept his promise as they came after Kaido.

In the meantime, Rami spent a lot of effort to avoid Law.

After Wano, Law also found himself on Egghead with the Marines. Cain and Rami's story was revealed. Long story short, right now, Law was chasing the Straw Hat while Rami ran away from talking to him.

Uncut Scenes

Shimotsuki Washi versus Shimotsuki Ryuuma’s corpse with Zoro's shadow.

Washi landed at Mihawk's castle and found out about Zoro.

Kaya's first time fell aboard, Washi jumped after to fish her out. They found out that Kaya was a Devil Fruit user and that Washi turned into a woman when drenched in seawater.

Washi's first time touched seastone, it had the same effect as seawater.

Robin thanked Luffy for saving her.

Sanji enjoyed preparing a feast for the Straw Hat.

Sanji and Pudding bonded over having shitty birth families.

Ace successfully bought Rayleigh for the first time.

Deuce got his new name from Ace.

Washi upon meeting Tashigi, “A doppelganger!?”. Tashigi upon meeting Washi, “A gender bend doppelganger!?!”.

to be continued…

[melonteee]

See, I disagree with you saying that "we KNOW the Marines are unfixable from the inside" because I'm like 90% sure that the series will end with the Marines having been fixed from the inside. With like, Fujitora as the Fleet Admiral and Koby and Smoker as Admirals.

I would be honestly shocked if Oda would have Koby say something like "I want to become an Admiral" at Enies Lobby and then not follow through on it. That's Koby's dream. That's as important to Koby as the Straw Hat's dreams are to them. The Marines are obviously still going to exist as an organization after the Final War, even if the World Government doesn't.

My personal theory is that Akainu learns about Imu and snaps, ordering the entirety of the Marines to defect from the World Government in a coup. Then the Marines fight the Straw Hats, the World Government fights the Revolutionaries, and the Blackbeard Pirates fight the Red-Haired Pirates. Blackbeard kills Shanks and steals Imu's Mythical Zoan, and the ultimate final battle is Luffy vs 3-Devil Fruit Blackbeard.

Nah I truly believe the marines will be taken apart and rebuilt. When it comes to these world government workers, or anything connected to the world government, we can see just how broken everything is.

I see no possible way the marines can be fixed from the inside at this point, nor do I think Oda would head in that direction. At this point, One Piece is RAPIDLY heading towards the direction of tearing down the world government entirely, and the marines ARE part of this system due to working for them.

What I CAN see is Koby deconstructing the marines and building them back up anew, but the marines are ROOTED in unethical means and power hungry domination they label 'justice'. That 'justice' term, especially, needs to be radically destroyed and changed. The fact remains that so long as Koby is blind - wilfully or not - to how the marines operate, he CANNOT fix it from the inside. Right now, Koby is part of a power hungry system he's become susceptible to. The marines are now being hunted by the common person due to the Cross Guild, and they're complaining "Well now we have to look out for ourselves!! These people don't appreciate us at all!"

When, of course, the citizens we've SEEN hunting down marines are simply innocent people who have no other choice. These are people the marines COULD'VE and CAN help, but being lap dogs to the world government means they're not going to.

Koby, as ONE person, cannot fix this system. He cannot take what has already been establish, and re-establish it without completely tearing it down. The marines need a complete reform and a COMPLETE overhaul, and while I believe Koby CAN be part of that, he NEEDS to break away from thinking the marines are "just" or "good" as a whole right now.

This is why when Fujitora immediately turned around and went AGAINST the marines after seeing the horrors of the celestial dragons, I cheered! Fujitora understands this is NOT a just system, this is NOT something to work under, and he'd rather turn and fight it than continue being part of it. I'm hoping, at some point, Koby has this realisation, and it's why I'm PRAYING something similar also happens to Smoker who ALREADY has one foot out the door.

I would also be shocked - MORE than shocked - if Akainu EVER turned against the world government. This man is BUILT as a man who absolutely hates pirates, he's BUILT as a man who sees HIS justice, the MARINES justice, as correct. I think it would be totally out of character and completely insane if Oda just turned Akainu on his head and made the marines fight against the world government. After all, the revolutionary army is why that exists.

The marines are fundamentally broken and we KNOW they are, they've helped weave history into what the world government wants it to be upon their command, and they've participated in the genocide of numerous islands and peoples. This is NOT fixable.

They need a complete breaking down before they can even BEGIN to be changed. The world must be restarted anew in One Piece for there to be complete freedom, the systems that be must be shattered, and the marines are part of this. Koby can help, but as he currently is and with the beliefs he has of the marines, he's yet another solider propaganda piece for the marines to use.

[wisasslocs]

Ok I think I like the live action 😭 i was so ready to hate it but I honestly am having a good time relearning the characters in a different way!

They connect the crew together faster but they have more moments that really show why zoro and nami started to like Luffy which is nice not have to go through 50 episodes just to get a few plot points out of the way.

Koby!! My boy!! I was SO READY to diss on his character because in all honesty his character was whiny at the beginning (even in the anime too). BUT them introducing Garp early and allowing Garp to become a psueo parent to him is honestly so fucking cute 😭. They have a genuinely interesting relationship and its part of my favorite moments in the show 😭 Also the actor is doing a great job showing us how Koby grows more confident and sure of himself and its amazing!

Zoro i couldnt help but keep loving and Nami is so good! The actress that plays Nami is amazing!

I’m only on ep. 4 but a couple of gripes:

1. It a little 🤪 cringey. But in all honestly its kinda a given for a live action for an anime, some of the elements are going to come through but its just a little shocking to see live actors actually act out the fighting moves yell since we r so used to anime characters in a anime environment.

2. The characters that where HUGE in the anime are like meh. Not saying they werent great characters but its still disappointing to look at Arlong when he looks so normal size. A core element of what makes one piece so memberable is watching this tiny underdog go up against the biggest and the baddest and having the strength within to come on top all because of his determination and drive. Its just underwhelming some of the fights that are supposed to be so epic: biggest and baddest vs underdog rubberman! Who will win! I get that they probably tried their best with what they had but im allowed to complain a little i think.

3. There are MANY moments within the anime that was SO IMPORTANT! And it just gets… left out. Ok! I’m not saying that it has to be another series that is 1000 episodes long but in live action form but sometimes a scene is so powerful and to leave it out is not my cup of tea. For example im fine that they changed zoro eating the dirty rice balls in a different context. It worked in showing us that zoro is a good guy! But leaving out how Luffy got Koby in with the marines and how zoro, badly injured, tried to save luffy by carrying his cage showing us how loyal of a person zoro is bla blah blah. I think people will understand what im talking about if you watch/read the original source material.

The show is great to watch so far and brings a new spin on the characters without making them unrecognizable (cough* velma *cough). The actors are fantastic and the costumes are SO good. I’m loving them actually change clothes according to the new chapter they are on, i think they are inspired by the cover page art, its nicely paced and they do give a good representation of the anime/manga. And im glad im not hating it yet.
