I've always loved the name "Red-Haired Pirates" because it sounds so cool but also so random. Like of all things, they name it after Shanks' goddamn hair color. Are there not many pirates with red hair besides Shanks? Is there something special about red hair in general in One Piece universe? Or is it Shanks' red hair that is special? Is he sponsored by a shampoo brand?? I don't even think he takes a bath daily.

I mean, when you name a crew, of course you'd like people to associate the name with the actual crew members. And thank god Shanks is an absolute juggernaut so it works and when people say Red Hair, they actually think of Shanks instead of some random ginger head.

Remember the Wedding Cake Sanji made?

As usual, I was overthinking about something (the Whole cake Arc) and came with a crazy theory about that cake and the special ingredient Sanji put on it, something unorthodox and that Big Mom had tasted before: Blood, more specifically Pig's blood.

How in hell I came to that conclusion? Because you see there's this old Italian recipe of a "Sanguinaccio Dolce", dark chocolate + pig's blood, that I had the idea that it's really delicious.

Now, remember no one seemed to like the idea of Sanji putting "that" ingredient and they asked him if he really wanted to do it "that way" since it was going to take more time.

And I don't know you, but that skulls in the decoration seem like a clue to me.

Now listen to the song she sings after she has eat some of the cake. At first she can't define what's that taste, but then she mentions dead puppies and a pet cemetery? Like ok, that's weird! But then she says is risky, how can it be risky? Maybe because the sanguinary chocolate is not something you put in a cake. She talks to mother Caramel and suddenly she recognizes the flavor as the One and only flavor of Happiness while remembering her 6th birthday, the day she committed cannibalism.

So yeah, that's my crazy theory, maybe I'm late for this but hey, whatever just wanted to share it and know, what do you think? Could it be possible or am I a bit twisted?

What even is this "Voice of all things" ability? Thought Luffy can only hear to the Sea Kings' voices? Thought Luffy's only the receiver, like Momo and the mermaid princess? Why could Heart Pirates crew, and even Law, hear his voice as well, while he's drowning in the ocean after falling off Onigashima??? What was he even saying to them? Could it be different things? Different orders? Was it even a coherent message at all like he told Momo that he's alive and he'll defeat Kaido instead of some fuckin'- nonstop screaming? Could it be just the repetitive of "i will defeat Kaido i can't die now i can't lose I CAN'T LOSE!!! I WILL DEFEAT KAIDO!!!" over and over again? All I'm sure of is it must be Luffy's ability alone, right? Reaching out to the most sensitive or the ones he trusts so he doesn't worry them...

Could his own crew hear him too, since a long time ago...? Would be funny tbh if it's only Zoro who could hear him but decided like oh yeah of course we're connected telepathically, i know him the longest so obviously we have the most special bond, or whatever. And then someday someone brought it up and he's like. wait. WAIT. YOU COULD HEAR HIM TOO? VERBATIM???

Also hilarious to think that Law could be very dismissive about it, being a doctor or man of science he is, saying "damn i'm losing so much blood and my head was beat too hard i can't stop hearing Mugiwara's screaming at all" until the voice disappeared. Him questioning his own sanity until he couldn't hear Luffy's voice abruptly. "Oh, it finally stopped... [slowly worries] why does it stop? was i not just imagining things??? Did I not hallucinate Mugiwara's selfmotivating screaming about defeating Kaido at all???" Shocked that he's affected by it. Even more Shocked once he finds out someday his crew apparently heard him too - while they're submerging on the fucking ocean.

Fact: Jinbei summons a school of whale sharks during the escape from Impel Down. Implication: While the ability to speak with sea life is usually only for merfolk, there are likely at least some fishmen other than him who can also speak to sea life. Further, they can speak to the specific kind of sea life they are based on. Jinbei is a whale shark fishman, therefore he can at a bare minimum communicate with/summon whale sharks. Fact: Hachi is an octopus fishman. Hachi also runs a takoyaki stand.

Implication: If Hachi also possesses this ability, he likely doesn't actually fish for his octopuses. Instead, he probably summons them en masse onto his boat, the octopuses climbing aboard to their impending doom not knowing they are about to become fritters.

Any of you guys been awake at 2 am, 21k words deep into a fanfic before questioning reality because you can't find a definitive answer on whether or not a character has a literal human heart? No? Yeah, me neither. 🫠🫠🫠

any ideas on teach? i always figured there was something going on with him, it's been stated like a hundred times, but i never thought his lineage would be so important? at least not to the point where even the gorosei would know about it.

I love how we all mostly agree on how much/how little the drug worked on 1234ji. We know it worked on Sanji - 100%. I either see for Niji or Yonji that people hc that Sora's drug worked around 50% on either of them, not both. Or that Niji and Yonji share a 25% on the drug working on them, I guess it depends on the person. What I see the most is that the drug didn't have an effect on Ichiji at all.

Do you see it the same way? If not, I would love to hear how you see it :)

I think in general ppl's hcs are similar to this, but how much the drug worked on each of them is a little different

Like, for me, it actually didn't work 100% on sanji since he's kinda changing now, so I'd say 99% for him

For niji and yonji I'd say 10% maybe? We see niji getting angry, so I imagine that's the only emotion he can express, and yonji seems rather curious or excited about certain things? But he shows some of it on a "let's fight!" sort of way too... Maybe 15% for yonji instead?

Ichiji I do think we all agree on lmao I can't think of a single scene in wci where he showed any emotion or reaction, he's like a blank wall. I still like my hc that he might be the one to regain his emotions first and starts pretending nothing changed with him, but if I had to pick between the two I'd put my money on the drug not working on him at all

Top ten mystery in SoL history or something

[astrumocs]

odarem have u thought much about the future? do u wanna work in the fleet forever?

"Not a whole lot to think about, I'm afraid. Unless I become useless enough to be discharged without getting myself killed, this is a 'for life' sort of deal. Sure, I've entertained some thoughts here or there, but nothing serious."

"Between you and me, I'd rather meet an early grave from overworking than be stuck in the fleet forever. My only real goal is to do as much good as possible with the circumstances I've been saddled with, y'know?"

"garp let ace die" ace killed himself. nice that you let the entire point fly over your head though. people who blame everyone else for their problems truly want there to be a villian in aces story. ace was his own worst enemy. idk how you guys think "garp let ace die" when ace would've killed himself regardless of who stepped up for him. obviously. because his entire friends and family and even hundreds of people he'd never met stepped up for him and risked their lives for him and none of that mattered. how would garps influence have changed anything? if Luffys didn't? if white beards didn't? ace wanted to die. ace chose to die. ignoring that and blaming his death on everyone else is a disservice to the story oda is trying to tell you.

[codecorazon]

nugget really got me thinking.... if the chance doflamingo got his hands on ace's devil fruit... would he try to find the fruit his brother had? would he care less about it? or keep it..?
