#oh i ADORE one piece

[franeridan]

not to be obvious and repetitive but bro......i really love one piece so much

[miniimerry]

My litmus test for deciding if I respect or value a person’s One Piece opinions is looking at the way they discuss Usopp tbh. You can tell a lot about someone based on how they talk about Usopp specifically.

If a person insists that Usopp is useless (whether it’s because he’s not as strong as Zoro or Luffy or Sanji or because he “doesn’t have a real job” on the crew) it tells me that they don’t pay attention to what Usopp does contribute, nor do they pay attention to what the story itself deems useful. Usopp may not be a massive, hulking powerhouse with ultra-powerful haki, but he does have utility in the crew. (And even if he didn’t, he would still belong because they wanted him.)

If a person insists that Usopp is just a crybaby or a coward and that he sucks because of this, it tells me that you don’t pay attention to what he’s doing while he’s running or crying. He might cry or shake or run, but he always comes back. He always stands up and fights in the end. He feels scared and then he does it anyway. It’s easy to forget, but Usopp is just a human in a world of monsters. For him to stand up and fight takes a lot of courage.

If a person insists that Usopp is not strong, it tells me they miss what the story itself tells us about what strength is and what it means to be strong. He has a skill that most do not. He is able to shoot with a degree of accuracy that is borderline inhuman. Whether he can kick through a boulder is irrelevant. Sanji can’t snipe from hundreds of feet away.

If you can’t look at Usopp and see where he fits in the story, I am truly uninterested in anything else you have to say about this story.

Some ASL brothers content. For me.

Bonus: right before drawing these

im rereading one piece (i'll watch certain arcs too as i get into OP again)

and man i forget how much i loved the baratie arc especially seeing how luffy and sanji first interact... "i refuse your refusal!" is so good and while bickering like an old married couple, they both yell at gin simultaneously i love them so much

zosan the type to get accidentally married in four different islands before they start dating

Best flavor of Lawlusan: Law and Sanji having a conversation about Luffy that keeps tipping back and forth between “He’s so reckless and stupid sometimes it literally makes me want to tear my hair out WHY is he like this why does he never listen I cannot STAND him” and “God I love him so fucking much. He saved me. He saved me and he’d do it again and again if he had to and I still can’t believe I’m lucky enough to have him. And to have YOU”

Inspired by @noraigo's post, below you'll find some of the OST I managed to find that play throughout the 1st episode and in which scenes they were used. (YouTube links only - sorry folks I don't use Spotify, but I assume you'll be able to find them there, too.) - An Old Friend by Headlund: When Great (Bible) feeds his cat (Akira) some food (Kaniva Ad) - Don’t Care Anymore by Roof: The song Great is listening to while driving, before hitting the woman (Mrs. Manee) - High Octane by Hampus Naeselius: When Mrs. Manee is brought into the ER and Den talks to Tyme about her case - With Tenacity by Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen: When Tyme operates on Mrs. Manee - Sly Fox by Jon Björk: When Den is explaining his secret project to Tyme - Boiling Point by Hampus Naeselius: When Korn gets to see the "investment department" up close - The Sixth Night by Rand Aldo: When Tonkla gets introduced - In Frozen Waters by Hampus Naeselius: When Tonkla sees the black cat in his apartment, after Korn leaves - Blush Response by Hampus Naeselius: When Great grabs his plate and moves away from his family at the dinner table - Easter Morning by Joyspring: When Tyme eats dinner with his grandma

I want to hc that sometimes Zoro and Sanji are tempted to pull Luffy into their arguments, if only to see if they can get him to pull rank somehow, but never do because they both think Luffy would automatically want to side with the other.

Because yeah they both know Luffy doesn’t actually have a favorite, not even between the two of them, but come on. Of course he’d side with (the one who feeds his bottomless stomach) (the one who makes sure he doesnt drown in the bathtub), (the one who humors his every whim) (the one he listens to when the answer is ‘no’), (the one he would chase no matter where he tried to run)(the one he knows will always be there, unmovable, by his side), (the one who shares his belief in what others call fantasy)(the one just as willing to spill blood for his dream).

I found a one shot of Luffy with braids and I absolutely adore the concept, especially when it was described of him having the beads of his crew (I think??) within the braids that circles his head like a crown. I thought it was adorable. It’s A Story in Braids on AO3 by @islenthatur if you haven’t read it go read it ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

Rice. From my plot that's literally just a game of chess. (he's a rook)

Oh, don’t mind me… just thinking about how Ace is the only character with whom both parents are confirmed to have the will of D- something we know to be major though we still don't know why for exact, & Ace used his own will to care. To try to look out for those disenfranchised like he was growing up. To treat its ethos as an unimpeachable code when he finally found a place that finally wanted to protect him. To put every effort into being a good brother.

He set out trying to define himself, for himself, and yet became increasingly littered by nods to the people he loves- his public surname, the tattoos, the necklace, etc.

He wanted to live to the fullest, with no regrets. To give meaning to the man he was without the imposition of legacy. And, at the end of the day, that looked like making the choice, the active & fought for choice, to be loving. Then he died giving thanks for the ways in which that love was returned.

If that’s not beautiful, then I’m not quite sure what is.

My biggest OPLA complaint is we didn’t get this :

[unhonestlymirror]

What if Luffy was actually wrong when stating that "Crocodile stole all the rain because he's afraid of it"? According to Sad Puppy Under Umbrella art, Sir Crocodile doesn't hesitate to become wet in situations when he could have absolutely avoided that (by taking puppy by the hand and using the umbrella for both).🤔

What if Sir Crocodile stole all the rain of Sandy Island straight to Alabasta... just so that he could do his mushroom hunting? Bro has sacrificed the entire country for the sake of his favourite hobby😭
