[itsmeimclown]

one piece is incredible because you can go from absolutely loving a character to absolutely hating them

also loving and hating a character so aggressively at the same time

also hating a character and then loving them

just all the feels

[waraxarcana]

One of these days, I really need to write a scene of Hawkins slaughtering an entire tavern full of people because he overheard a few men commenting on Ikkaku's wanted photo. Just being completely brutal and possessive and Apoo, Kid, and Killer just staring, more than a little surprised because they'd assumed Hawkins would be the calm one in this alliance. But now they understand that he's just as messed up as any other pirate. Possibly more so, if he's getting like this over a bounty poster for a woman that's on another crew and that he hasn't even seen in person for two years.

Their next hint that this dude's an utter possessive psychopath would be catching a glimpse of the High Priestess tarot card and realizing he's changed out the one in his normal skeleton deck for one that looks just like Ikkaku.

what if the strawhats had different roles on the ship⁉️ i swapped everyone’s roles except for luffy because i can’t imagine him being anything but the captain

these are loose redesigns since their canon designs don’t really read as their roles all that much to begin with. some extra doodles and ideas for this in the cut !!

nami, vice captain: i took a lot of inspiration from her beta design!! canon nami already bosses everyone around so she fits right into the role. she wields an extendable staff (usopp still makes it for her); she lost her arm over the time-skip like how zoro lost his eye. i LOVE drawing cargo pants and boots, so she ended up with a sorta bottom-heavy design. frankly it’s probably not her style but i like how she looks

zoro, the cook: my foolproof logic is zoro uses swords = good with knives. he does not use katanas to cut produce however, just normal knives. i was trying to go for “sweaty ramen guy” with the towel around his neck. the majority of the shit he cooks would probably be drowned in alcohol. he also wears his bandana the majority of the time now!! it completes the ramen guy look

sanji, the sniper: i also took inspiration from his beta design for this!!! he has guns!! and perfect aim of course. i was going for more of a mafioso look so germa 66 would be like, a mafia organization on top of all the other villain shit they already do. he has two guns but i didn’t draw a holster bc that’s annoying🤞 he lights his cigarettes with his guns. how would that even work? don’t ask me

usopp, the navigator: his artistic talent lends itself to creating perfect maps! he also still tinkers, making nami’s staff as well as having a specialty for compasses. he uses a slingshot still (no perfect aim we gotta nerf him) and shoots weather-related projectiles. his goggles serve as binoculars, they can zoom to several different distances. i drew him in his zou outfit purely bc it’s my favorite one

chopper, the helmsman: he would predominately use heavy point while maneuvering the wheel. i changed his hat up to look more like a sailor’s cap, with an anchor symbol instead of an X. to be honest i don’t have much else bc helmsman doesn’t bring much to my mind :(

franky, the musician: ROCK N ROLL BABY YEEAHHH come on his stage presence is unmatched. he’s still a cyborg, he has instruments all over his body like apoo does but they were installed manually. his personality changes depending on what genre he’s playing but rock n roll is his default B) (ex. classical calls for a refined gentleman)

robin, the shipwright: her devil fruit gives her as many helpful hands as she needs! she developed nami’s arm (definitely installed some random shit she did Not ask for). she has a robot mecha that she’s able to pilot all by herself using clones. i changed her orange sunglasses to goggle eyewear

brook, the doctor: the irony of being nursed back to health by a literal skeleton 💀the irony of being the doctor of the rumbar pirates yet being the only survivor, saving no one from the poison 💀 i went for a plague doctor look! IM VERY HAPPY WITH HOW HE TURNED OUT i was really tempted to give him the plague mask too, but i feel that would’ve changed his appearance too much compared to the others

jinbei, the archaeologist: the shape of this man demands a little pair of round glasses on his face. he’s an intellectual i tell you!!! plus still a fishman karate master. the history of joyboy and fishman island being so intertwined is how he developed an interest in history

Unbottle Your Emotions

Eustass Kid x Reader (Part 2)

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 Ahoy, here with Part 2 of this series. Quick A/N that if Apoo is ooc, I don't care. This story is about Eustass Kid :3 Enjoy ^-^

"Yo yo yo! How are my favourite non-party people doing?"

"Hi Apoo," you greeted the DJ who slung his long arms around you and Hawkins.

Apoo's the extrovert friend that adopted you and Hawkins. At first, you didn't understand why he decided to hang around you guys until he admitted he felt excluded by the social crowd in school. You and Hawkins had let him be a part of the conversation and he liked being around you guys after getting to know you. He invited both of you to a few of his parties but then realized you weren't party people, hence the nickname.

"Greetings Scratchman, are you planning to join us for lunch?" Hawkins asked Apoo while you closed your locker.

"You know it," Apoo replied and took his arms off your shoulders, aware you didn't like physicalness for too long. "Where we heading?"

"We're going to the vegan restaurant Hawkins wanted to try," you answer as the three of you head out of the school.

"What?" Apoo look at you dumbfounded. "I thought you didn't like that stuff [N/n]."

"[Y/n] had been partnered with Eustass in English and their last conversation left her not wanting to face the redhead again, so she asked me to get her stuff and we're going to the restaurant as her returning the favour," Hawkins explained to Apoo.

"Oh, you're partnered with Kid?" Apoo looked to you for a response. Seeing you only nod, made him switch topics. "... Hm, to the restaurant we go. What's going to be served there anyway? Salads?"

"You are aware vegans eat more than just vegetables," Hawkins stated with an unamused expression, though to those who pass by, he still kept the same face.

"My bad." Apoo held up his hands in defence. "But you can't blame a guy for thinking vegans just eat rabbit food."

Hawkins would've glared at the DJ if not for you giggling, seeing you amused made him let it slide for now. "Rest assured, there are a variety of dishes you'll be able to choose from."

"We'll see about that," you said.

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

"Yo, the coconut cheese nachos were da bomb!" Apoo exclaimed as he exited the restaurant. "Who knew vegan food taste so good!"

"Ehhh, I still prefer my burgers," you teased the blond who held the door.

"I'm at least grateful you gave it a try, even if it was for paying back a favour," Hawkins said, letting the door close and joining your side.

"Yeah, yeah." You waved it off.

Your mood has picked up since this morning, practically forgetting what had happened in the first place. You suppose you could thank Apoo for his infectious upbeat vibe. Despite how annoying he can be, it's nice to have someone who can distract you from stressful things in life.

"Next time I'm picking where we eat!" Apoo declared walking backwards in front of you and Hawkins.

"Sure, do me a favour sometime and we'll go." You smiled. "Just as long as it's not you trynna sneak us into a club with a bar again."

"Aw right!" Apoo threw his arm up. "Trust me guys when I say, you are gonna love- Oof!" He stumbled forward when he bumped into something, or rather, someone.

"Watch where you're going," a blue-haired guy said.

"Yo-" Apoo turned around, his defensive mode switched on. "Maybe if you didn't stand around blocking the sidewalk I wouldn't have to," he "countered".

You deadpanned, it's not the first you've seen Apoo puff his pride to where you can hardly tell the difference between him and a barking chihuahua, it just gets old after so many times. Perhaps this attitude of his is the main reason he's excluded from the social crowd at school. Though, it never bothered you much since you knew it wasn't real beef, and Hawkins... tolerated it? Well, he never brought it up so you can only assume as much.

Hawkins rolled his eyes and passed by the two. "Leave it, Scratchman."

"Come on, Apoo." You walked by him and patted the other's shoulder. "Sorry about him."

"Yo, can't you see I'm not the one at fault here?" Apoo questioned you guys.

"People who don't watch their surroundings get killed." The guy glared at Apoo, and that's when you recognized who this guy was. He's Heat from Kid's gang, which means the rest are nearby.

No... no no no. You already didn't want to bump into Kid again, being in range of his anger is so much worse. The thought alone caused stress to weigh on your mind. Haistly, you spun on your heels.

"You threatening me or some- hey!" Apoo didn't finish when you grabbed his arm and scrambled to get away. "Ayo, what gives [Y/n]?"

"Go. Go! Before-"

"What's the going on here?"

Fear ceased your haste, and colour drained from your skin. You knew the voice belonged to Kid before you turned around, though it didn't surprise you that the rest of his crew followed in company. Seems like they came out of one of the restaurants.

"Nuh- nothing! My friend just accidentally bumped into your buddies, sorry about that." You bow to show your respect as you apologize, nudging Apoo to do the same.

"What? I ain't apologizing." Apoo frowned at you.

Kid got ready to pick a bone when he saw you throw a deadly glare at Scratchman while gripping the guy's arm and not two seconds later it had Scratchman saying sorry. He eyed you, intrigued, the actions you just displayed shined a different side of you he had not seen in English class. You gave off the impression you were an academic scatterbrain, then he found out you listen to metal which confused him. You seemed too submissive and agreeable to be into something so hardcore. That glare you threw at Apoo told another story. You were strange, he couldn't figure you out. Perhaps there's more to uncover.

Kid narrowed his eyes at you as if staring at a puzzle. "You should hang out with other classmates, [L/n]."

"It's not like anyone else wants to be around me," you muttered to yourself, not knowing Kid picked it up. "We'll be leaving now, have a good day Eustass." You flashed a soft smile at him.

Little did you know the effect your smile would have on Kid would start something.

Killer: How about 20 for domestic abuse

Wire: 30 for stalking

Luffy: What, what are you guys doing?

Apoo: We’re making bets now, shut up. 50 for child porn

Penguin: You dirty bitch, I’m all in.

It’s messed up, I know

[pocket-jack]

Welp. I've reached this part.

First of all, Kid motives to kill Kaido are heavily implying not only his need to take his revenge for beating and humiliating him, but also avenging Killer. Can we just talk about how his every dialogue about his revenge is just "You'll pay for what you did to Killer". Canonically it shows how deep he cares for his crew and he's ready to kill for them. (He was so happy to hit Apoo istg)

Also I find it really cute that in Russian localisation this scene went "I'll send to hell everyone who laughs at you!", " So that's how it is". Killer just went affectionate mode in this one. He was so happy, that his captain cares about him

Kid Pirates might be narcissistic brats, but they still love each other

[opbackgrounds]

You didn't really answer my qustion though. What can you name that should be edited out? For example: which warlord do you cut out? Which arc they brought do you feel is unneeded and should be taken out? I promise I'm not being mean or snarky, it's just I've heard the 'too many randoms' all over, but nobody can actualy point to an actual character they find should be cut out so it kinda sound like 'just make it better'. And unless wiki is wrong, Tama is Koruzumi, not Kozumi - the fact you mixed it up kinda shows it didn't really matter, though I would argue it is important from narrative perspective of showing Koruzumi were not 'evil by blood' despite all names one being villains. Also: Zoro's lineage was also released trough SBS and I don't see people break up about it? Again, I'm just honestly curious about what you think.

my point is not invalidated because I misremembered a name, and Zoro’s lineage is another thing that either should have been in the manga or not been a thing at all. If Oda wasn’t going to do anything with it, he should have kept the connection between he and Wano be through Kuina. The Zoro lookalike characters during Yamato’s flashback only set up expectation in the audience that wasn’t followed through with. I understand that Zoro doesn’t give a fuck, but if that’s the case then don’t make it a thing in the first place.

But to answer your question let’s look just at Wano. The Nine Scabbards should have been reduced down to a more reasonable number. I love them both dearly, but you could easily combine Dogstorm and Cat Viper into one character. Raizo doesn’t do much after Zou, so replace him there with someone else—I’d say Izo, since that’s the character who could have used some time with the main cast to make their ridiculous death more impactful. You could say after Marineford they were trying to get back to Wano and stumbled upon Momo and the rest while traveling. Shinobu can handle being the main ninja character, and no Raizo means you don’t have to have earlobe guy so now there’s no meaningless 25 chapter fight.

With Izo reintroduced thusly, there’s no reason for Marco to show up at all. In fact, he has a built-in reason for not showing up by protecting Whitebeard’s homeland. This will require some rewriting of the arc, but imo he ended up taking away too much valuable hype from more important characters to really justify his presence, so get him out of there.

It was clear Oda was having a hard time finding a purpose for Drake, and Hawkins, and Apoo. Of those three, you could easily get rid of Apoo and not lose anything. Have a quick flashback of him dying epically in the Kidd Pirate Alliance battle against Kaido. It would have been a better showing than he gave in the arc itself.

And that’s just off the top of my head. I haven’t done any rereading of Wano since that chapters were released. If someone went over the arc more carefully there would be more (like, does Carrot really need to be there? Do any of the other Zou characters?) I really think you could get the Scabbards down to 5 characters if you tried, but I’d have to figure out how that would fit with the rest of the story.

My problem with One Piece isn’t the number of arcs, it’s that the arcs themselves are too long. Enies Lobby was epic in scale and had a lot of different factions to account for, but it didn’t take three years to get through. Theres going to be some ballooning in size as the crew has gotten bigger, but even that could be worked around. Have more tag team fights like on Thriller Bark, for example, so the enemy crews don’t have to have so many people. Reduce the roll of side characters and give their feats to the Straw Hats who haven’t gotten enough love after the time skip. There’s lots of things Oda could have done, but he hasn’t.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

And special mention to Vinsmoke Luniju and her boyfriend Law!

Also

This blog won't exactly be dormant, it's purpose is, after all, to celebrate ships of/with the Vinsmokes, although I will only be rebloging posts in which this blog is @

[aachria]

omg i love Ed's interactions with Bege and the way they talked to Kid and the convo with Bonney and Urouge and Apoo i just loved this whole chapter so much 😭

Amazing chapter as always !!!

The supernova party deserved the 4 chapters 🗣‼️‼️

Rlly excited for Sabaody and how Ed's presence will affect it since they dont seem to have much of a plan apart from going with the flow and avoiding slavers as best they can

My exams (first diploma ever) are coming up in two weeks so i cant afford to hyperfixate and theorise to much but i promise you this fic is constantly somewhere in the back of my mind !!

I’m gonna laugh my ass off so fucking hard if my pre-Sabaody bullshit ends up being longer than the actual Sabaody arc. Like so far there’s 7 chaps of pre stuff, 5 of which are the party, and 3 and a half chaps of Sabaody proper written. And I’m like. Half done.

Yup. Ed’s plan is just

1. Don’t get sold into slavery

2. Maybe tell the Strawhats they need training

3. Profit

so let’s just. Pray for them.

I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!! YOU’RE GONNA CRUSH THOSE EXAMS ANA THAT DIPLOMA IS GONNA LOOK SO SEXY HANGING ON YOUR WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fic will still be here when you’re done, so take a break from thinking about it PLEASE 🙏

One Piece Thought; Oda’s Aversion to Killing Characters

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Oda wanting to keep a majority of characters alive for the end of One Piece so everyone can still smile n what not is actually a pretty good take, there’s just been some times where I personally found it so draining.

Luffy does have a kill count, even though in a majority of fights he gets in to he isn’t trying to kill his opponent, only destroy them which - there is a difference!! But it doesn’t erase the fact that some people he’s gone up against (Kaido) or bystanders that got caught up in the context of the fight have died.

Idk there’s just some instances where a couple people could have, would have, or SHOULD have died that just..didn’t.

A lot of times characters are introduced to drive the plot or to complete their storyline and once they do, they don’t need to stay alive. Jujutsu Kaisen’s Gege Akutami does a terrifyingly good hob at disposing his characters when they fulfill their storyline, sometimes even before. I’m not saying I want One Piece to be more like JJK, it’s just a difference between the two anime’s based off their creators. Yk ?

Although I am glad Oda wrote these storylines the way they did bc they add to the world of One Piece a lot by defying their mortal expectations and don’t sadden the reality of their world for the straw hat crew or the viewers.

I think my main issue with this is it often discredits whoever dealt them an attack imo. **

These are just my opinions abt who could have died, when, and by whom that wouldn’t have fully changed the story of One Piece, prolly just add to the severity and dread in the arc yk

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Spandam - Ennies Lobby by Robin **

- Spandam is literally such a revolting person and it was deserved for him to die when Robin snapped his spine. The fact he didn’t imo is an insult to Robin’s determination in that moment/annoying because he didn’t have a major purpose after Enies Lobby.

Apoo - Onigashima by Zoro **

- I understand Apoo not dying when Zoro slashed him in the beginning of the raid of Onigashima on the battle floor bc he ended up with that whole plot of him having the antidote to the zombie freezing disease but even then it was drawn out yk. in the anime there was a large emphasis put on Zoro here. It showed his seriousness, his lack tolerance to nuisances and threats to the crew/the alliance, and his ability to deal damaging attacks without going all out/his range of offensive capability. I feel like all of that was undermined by Apoo getting up and surviving the alliance, CP0, and the fire all the way to the end of Wano.

(Controversial) Kin’emon - Onigashima by Kaido (twice)

Kin’emon I love you but I totally thought you died when the captains met you guys at the rooftop and you were bleeding out on the ground. And again when Kaido cut you in two. Both of these moments would have been good moments for Kin’emon to die imo bc even if his story wasn’t finished (reconnecting with otsuru, guiding Mononoke when he becomes shogun) it showed his true character. He was a swordsman putting all his honor and pride and life and energy into defeating Kaido. These moments honored that side of him so even if it would’ve been sad it would have been a good time for him to die. Im glad he didn’t though.

Mad Monk Urogue - Sabaody Archipelago by Pacifista Kuma & Kizaru

- bro got his ass handed to him every fight he got into for his whole showing on screen in Sababody and the New World imo. He suffered some serious damage in Sabaody and it might’ve been a good showing of how dangerous the admirals and the World government are outside of the straw hats. Bc we know they packed up the straw hats to show them they weren’t ready and needed to get stronger but it would’ve been kinda cool to see another crew get almost the exact same treatment at the exact same time imo. I also don’t like him.

Hatchan - Sabaody Archipelago by St. Charlos

- when Charles shot him and Hatchan was apologizing I thought he was going to die. I was even watching it with my friend and when it panned to him getting patched up in Shakky’s bar my friend went ‘he didn’t die?’ Ya ik. Hatchan could have died in that scene and it would’ve been good. It would’ve been another showing of how cruel the celestial dragons are and it would’ve been the first fatal showing of this to people the strawhats care abt I think. Hatchan got his apology, he amended things with Nami, he ended up leading the strawhats to Rayleigh, and ultimately Cami got saved so it would’ve been a good moment imo. Kinda sad tho and def would’ve brought down the post slave auction house sababody vibes but the vibes weren’t good for that long thanks to kuma and kizaru.

Kanjuro - Onigashima by Okiku ** (twice)

- I thought the first fight scene between okiku and kanjuro was beautiful, and it was a good death to Kanjuro. But when he was alive again and made the fake oden I was just like why. It took away from Kiku’s achievement and devotion to the cause in that battle bc it’s her fault (and oda’s) that’s he’s still alive. Imo I would’ve liked it better as an audience member if the fake oden and the kazenbo that kanjuro becomes later in Onigashima was remnants of kanjuro’s devil fruit ability after he died. (Yk think Boa’s Df and how the stone stays stone even if she dies or the concept of post mortem men in hxh) that way those things could have still happened but Kiku wouldn’t have lost and integrity in the fight.

(Controversial prolly) Okiku - Onigashima by Kaido

- kiku losing her arm was scary, but she bounced back. However when Kaido took out her and Kin’emon together, I still wanted her to live. Until she said something! It was like “the dawn will come to show spring and the fallen snow will be gone” idk blah but it was so beautiful and a lovely line written by Oda bc I feel like it was a prophecy-type foreshadowing where Kiku had to be one of the retainers that died in the final battle in order for the dawn to come. Bc her nickname was th e fallen snow! It just worked so well but was ignored in favor of her living and I’m glad she did but ugh imo it would have been beautiful writing.

Pell - Alabasta by Robin (?)

- Pell’s Pell. He got folded by Robin and I feel like he could’ve died there. He did have a major role tho in the battle later so it’s good he came back but there was the other guardian deity aside from him (the dog one) so I feel like alabasta would’ve been okay w/o him.

Conis’ father Pagaya - Skypiea by Enel (?)

- No hate to this guy I only put him bc when he surprised everyone by not being dead everyone was like “ur supposed to be dead” which was funny lol. One of the first cases of people would could die not dying

Wiper - Skypiea by Enel (?)

- wiper served his purpose in Skypiea. He helped defeat Enel and gain back the land that was once his peoples so I feel like if he died a warrior death and succumbed to his injuries it would’ve been a good ending for his character.

Raki - Skypia by Enel **

- I’m only putting her bc she got blasted point blank by Enel and still survived. Like what? It’s moments like these where when the character doesn’t die it messes with the lethality of attacks and characters like now Enel doesn’t seem as fatal of a villain bc she survived one of his attacks. Matter of fact most people in the final battle of Skypiea survived even the native scouts.

Orochi - Onigashima *

- actually fuck this guy bro I hate him sm. At first when he died by King’s hand I thought that was it. Then he came back. And had all the heads that got chopped by Denjiro. Then he survived. And Hiyori waved the fan to kill him for good. At first I hated it bc he should’ve died in the beginning but then I was like no actually this is some pretty good stuff Oda’s making. But denjiro cutting him down should’ve been it, right? I thought that until Kiyori said that line “Kurozumi is charcoal (or wtv) bc it’s made to burn.” It was good bc he burned alive and it was a nod to Oden’s famous line ‘oden isn’t oden if it isn’t boiled/oden was made to boil.’ I just wish now that there was more fluidity thing in his multiple lives to his devil fruit. His serpent form has multiple heads so if Oda paired the heads with a life and made it explicitly shown like oh he died twice now he has like one life left I think it would’ve been a more satisfying and confirmed death for him yk. He isn’t worth all those deaths. Or lives.

Queen & King - Onigashima by Sanji & Zoro respectively **

I feel like when these two fell and Sanji and Zoro were both announced as the winner, the should’ve been the last time we saw them. Both strawhats did everything they could do to win and to see Queen & King hiding out in Wano during the feast before they were attacked by Ryokugyu was so annoying to me. HOWEVER, I do understand that it showed how much stronger the Beast Pirates were in comparison to the Strawhats and that the Strawhats shouldn’t have won and was also the display of Ryokugyu’s immense power and easily put into perspective how powerful he was.

I do love Oda’s commitment to making OP seem like a bright thing as well as he can, it just stresses me sometimes
