JOHN "CALICO JACK" RACKHAM AU BACKSTORY

CW : DEPICTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS OF DEATH AND BLOOD‼️

(This is very self-indulgent and mostly because I thought it'd be cool)

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

AU LORE :

At 36, Calico Jack was the captain of the REVENGE (formerly Charles Vanes's ship, which he mutinied and took over).

At 37, he was captured by the Royal British Navy and thrown in "pirate prison" (idk what it was called irl). On his first day, he was whipped/beaten by the guards, something they did to every pirate on their first day.

[I imagine this part like a scene in a movie] As he lays there in the dirt, he's nearly unconscious, but feels someone grab him. They drag him over to their cell and get someone to help her clean his new wounds. It hurts, hence the drawing, and it depicts that scene.

[She is one of the big bosses of the pirate prisoners, so holds authority with them]

The person who helped him was Anne Bonny, whom he fell in love with. They are together in the prison for a few months before escaping and spending the rest of that year pirating on the high seas.

At 38, he's again caught and this time sentenced to death instead of imprisonment. Anne Bonny is able to convince the court to pardon her because she was pregnant (Calico Jack's son/Kwazii's father). Anne Bonny leaves him for Mary Read, who was also pardoned. (Irl, there was no evidence of them being in a relationship ship, but in Octo-universe, they are now. Lesbian cats.)

He's able to escape his hanging and flees, where he hides for two more years (until 40 years old, and authorities wound his left eye), then a storm shipwrecks him and he ends up in the Amazon for another 15 years.

So the elephant in the room. Grandberry traitor. It’s Caspian or John right? Those are the two we know, the two we are attached to, it’s not just gonna be random new recruit #7 out of the unnamed folks they’ve picked up. It’s not that one healer from Joaldo who joined them that I can’t remember his name right now.

John has made it clear since he revolted from the Navy that he’s kept up with the Grandberry pirates, that all he wants is to join them. That could be a flag. The fact that he was part of his own “special unit” or something along those lines before going outlaw. There’s the journal of his they found back at Zero that they never truly read through and tossed after reading the first poem, which might have had definite answers. And this is small, but he was really protective over keeping the pin from Jayson Ferin.

But the block throws a wrench in it, because why would they throw him in their highest security prison and let him freeze? Unless somehow John was sure without a shadow of a doubt they would have come back for him, and they weighed the risk and reward. The Ferin family drama could have thrown a wrench in their plans enough to have thrown away any plans on easier escape. It’s plausible, but it just is too much of a discrepancy. And John wears his heart on his sleeve, since episode zero he has, it’s hard to think of him as the traitor.

Then there’s Caspian, who has been with Lizzie since almost the beginning, from Shadowbeard’s crew. It’s where they met, and they both survived and escaped Shatter Skull massacre together. But that means he was there for the fall of Shadowbeard, and Ava Ferin’s death. And while it’s pretty much said by Lizzie she thinks it’s Ava who betrayed her, with everything else said, and with what Jay remembers and loves of her sister, it just doesn’t quite track. There was an ulterior motive to kill Ava in the same fight, ordered by someone higher up, playing into the propaganda and fear mongering against pirates and pro Raft agenda. And he knows Edyn Tidestrider, he was the one to reunite her and Gillion. He has her number. And she is gills deep in double-triple agent Raft bullshit.

But could he have been such a double agent all this time, since Shatter Skull? After all his blood sweat and tears, all the weight he’s lifted for Lizzie? All the Edyn stuff could easily be a coincidence, considering their Undersea connection. And he’s not quite heart on his sleeve honest as John has been, but he’s chill like that, he’s kindhearted and patient. And after everything, and I mean everything, he’s done - for Gillion especially - giving him his sword, reuniting him with his sister, daily phone calls, teaching him spells and moves, being the first friend especially from the undersea and reconnecting him with their culture - it’s so hard to think of him as the traitor.

There’s proof enough for both of them. But everything considered, with how undercover and long term the black book missions are, how even Jay had been a spy at one point - Caspian makes the most sense, doesn’t he.

I keep on seeing people mention how they want to see another Davy Back Fight during the Final Saga, and while I'm 10000% sure we won't see another Davy Back Fight

Unironically

I think a Davy Back Fight between the Strawhats and Cross Guild could be fucking hysterical

Especially because like. Buggy could totally challenge Luffy intentionally, desperately hoping that either Luffy will save HIM from Crocodile and Mihawk, OR that Luffy ends up taking Croc and Hawk into his crew if he wins

(Sidenote, DBF is normally only about exchanging crewmates and stealing pirate flags, but could you imagine if Buggy could demand to have Luffy's copies of the Road Poneglyphs if he won? Hell, I imagine Buggy could probably get away with innitiating the challenge regardless because once it's on, it's on, and surely his men would be so riled up Croc and Hawk would know there'd be no way to stop it anymore even though Buggy's not the true boss. But just to keep Croc and Hawk from trying to murder him on the spot Buggy could maybe suggest taking the Poneglyph copies as if it were a part of his plan from the begining)

And you know if Buggy challenged Luffy into a DBF Luffy might just accept??? Because it could be fun (in Luffy's mind)??? And it could be kind of on-brand for him to jump in on a challenge like that???

And yes

The idea of Luffy winning against Cross Guild in a DBF, resulting in fucking Mihawk and Sir Crocodile joining the Strawhats would be fucking hysterical man, and that alone makes me kinda want it

I don’t really watch one piece(anime) anymore but like zoro’s fit in the egg head arc is fire. And why do sanji and garp have the same fashion sense. Like why does this dude routinely dress like a middle aged father going on vactation in Florida I mean come on 😭😭.

Zoro’s fits are always really cool tho and I will be stealing his style 👀

[dykealloy]

This guy's L to W ratio is a solid 5:1 rn

[bifairywife]
