Kobylu Week Day 1: Roleswap

LAST FEW MINUTES OF THE DAY SHUSSSSH

Okay silly lore I thought of since I'm free now-

The only ones swapped are Koby and Luffy, and I also adore the Rocks D. Koby AUs so of course I alluded to that lmao, and basically Luffy is just the most unhinged Marine you've ever fucking seen 💀

Rumor that Xebec had a descendant got out a while before Koby was born, around the time Roger was executed. Koby was soon involuntarily abandoned after he was born, since his parents got found out and killed by Marines. He was taken into the care of a communication line of fishermen, who found out Koby's bloodline pretty quickly, but decided to keep it a secret. He was passed island to island to keep his existence a secret (oh hey sorta like Luffy lol), but he was still kidnapped by Alvida at 14. However, Koby was aware of his lineage and was already trained in how to defend himself, and he managed to escape only after a few weeks, albeit badly injured. By pure coincidence, he ran into Red-Haired Shanks, who decided to give Koby some medical attention before dropping him off someplace. In the time they knew each other, Shanks decided to give Koby -instead of his whole hat- the red ribbon attached to his strawhat to Koby. Koby still wears the ribbon as a bandana to this day.

Luffy never met Shanks in this AU, and Garp drilled Marine ideology into his grandson's head harsher than ever, but it of course didn't stick right, and Luffy interprets it in bizarre ways. Luffy is still extremely motivated to find the One Piece, but not to become the King of the Pirates. He just wants to out of spite and boredom.

Luffy and Koby met during the timeskip, about a year after Ace had been wrongly executed. In that time, Koby had become a prominant pirate from both his name and his grandfather's. People assumed he was after the One Piece as well, and they weren't wrong, but Koby's real reason to find the One Piece was to end the era of pirates, not to become King. Luffy had been on a sort of off-site probation after he tried publicly saving Ace (to keep him out of the public's eye/to forcefully make him cool down/to make people believe he was dead), and ran into Koby. Luffy was briefed who Koby was, but couldn't care less, and became good friends with him extremely quickly.

And that's all I got pff, might make a fic might not, anyways see ya tomorrow for the Modern Prompt 👍✨

I would like to introduce to you a head canon or theory (really it’s a crackpot idea)

What if Koby is Rock’s Grandson?

That sounds incredibly stupid but hear me out. Koby has been rapidly growing in power since he started training with Garp, of course anyone who trains under Garp is going to be strong but Koby is different.

Koby is advancing in power fairly quickly, he knows some of the 6 powers, has great observation Haki, and he’s got enough Armament Haki control to pull of one of these

Koby is special, both for the fact that he trains harder than others and also seems to gain power better than others. Helmeppo had the same training from Garp (though Bogard probably taught him more of the sword skills) and he can pull off a small version of this move.

Helmeppo is strong yes and I’d say he’s most above most other marines, but he’s not near Koby’s level. Sure we can say this is because of Koby’s extra training and determination (and I fully support that too) but there’s something about Koby that feels important.

Now let’s take a look at Rocks

Rocks and Koby share a pretty similar facial shape don’t you think? Flat chin, and a similar nose, even their hair right now looks kinda similar.

If you think it’s just cause of the intense look on Koby’s face here’s another picture for comparison

Heck we could even call Koby the Rocks. D Xebec of the marines cause of how much he’s definitely going to stir things up for the organization. He (along with many others) will tear down the organization and remake it in a bold and powerful move. Just like how Rocks shook the world when he was alive.

Narratively this would also be an amazing parallel too, The Grandson of Rocks being taught by one of his greatest foes and Luffy becoming the Rocks (only in influence) of the new era.

As for Koby’s parents, well One Piece is full of orphans. Odds are he never met them or he was very young when he lost them.

(Thoughts? I like this Little Theory of mine but I have nothing to base it on)

Rocks D Koby has got quite the ring to it can’t lie. Plus Koby being a member of D clan would make sense, they are known for making history and shaking things up…

Also the idea of Koby and Luffy both embodying different aspects of the major players of the previous is just chefs kiss I love it very much!

I’m pretty sure it was recently revealed that Koby, just like a bunch of powerhouses in the world of One Piece, comes from the East Blue. The only downside to this theory is this could potentially mean Koby is related to Blackbeard which…ew. If we go by the Rocks D Crocodile theory and add the Crocodad on top of that would make Luffy and Koby half siblings !! (RIP to LuKoby nation if it’s real 🫡🫡) (also omg siblings on opposites sides of the war trope 😭😭😭)

In terms of actual canon potential this is (objectively) on the lower side of the spectrum but if we follow the rule of cool and kinda silly that One Piece often does…I say this could very well happen!

Jesus CHRIST talk about a battle of gods! 😱

And I know people are upset we didn't see the Rocks vs Garp and Roger fight in this chapter BUT imho we probably won't see that until Luffy and co. find out about God Valley and potentially visit there (if it wasn't erased by Imu).

Favorite One Piece Reddit theory right now: Rocks being the Buggy of his era.

A seemingly omnious, terrifying figure connected to so many influential figures but in reality is a clown who lucked his way into this position.

Chiffon and Crocodile both having abusive Rocks Pirates Parents 🤝

Probably started with Chiffon musing about how she's trying to break the cycle of bad parenting and speculating if her mother was always such a monster which has Croc pulling out the whiskey like "oh, girl, that twisted tree has ROOTS"

It’s the good bourbon he stole from a tribute ship headed for Mary Geoise a couple years back. Strong stuff, good year, perfect for the heavier conversations.

The rule of thumb, Crocodile points out, is that if you have to ask yourself if your “parent” is a monster more than once in your life, odds are that they probably are.

Rocks D. Xebec and Charlotte Linlin were monsters. They both wanted to rule the world in their own ways, happily sticking their heads in the clouds and letting the ends justify the horrible means. Perhaps at one time their intentions were good, but the road to Hell is so often paved with them…

It’s why Crocodile initially- and eventually once again- admired Dragon’s way of things. He has no desire to rule, only to see people treated fairly. He focuses on the peaceful transfer of power (as peaceful as you can possibly get with the World Nobles) rather than violent revolution that would leave what’s left of the land in shambles. His mind is on the future, not just for himself, but for the generations to come.

The humanity is there, and it’s exactly what Xebec and Big Mom lacked.

Chiffon agrees, and playfully points out that Crocodile sure does like to talk about his husband when the drinks are strong.

One piece 1095 spoilers!!

If Kuma and his family knew about the warrior of liberation Nika and they talked about how they'll be set free by him..

and he was present and then freed at God Valley, that can only hint to one thing...

either Rocks D Xebec ate the Hito Hito no Mi model Nika... or Gol D Roger did

[0ynes]

"The native hunting competition" really broke me. What a timing to release this chapter too... Anyone who still thinks One Piece isn't political and isn't woke, should just drop it.

Garp and Roger are on very thin ice. idk what Xebec could be doing that's worse than this. idk what will justify Garp and Roger "protecting the tenryuubito and their slaves", even though so far we only have the marines POV of what happen. One thing is certain, the tenryuubito were protected. So, Garp and Roger start explaining yourselves.

Reasons I believe Dragon is actually the son of Rocks D. Xebec

#1

No eyebrows

[yandlove847]

Dead garp au on crack @im-goofball

Xebec:oh your approaching me.....?

Roger:I couldn't beat the living the shit out of you without getting closer....

Xebec:well come closer as you want you little shit!

Garp:for the love of fucking god it's 1am you morons!

Xebec After meeting garp for a years after his death wanted to hug him but still beef with your younger sibling Roger

(should I make part 2 to do this...?)

Rocks D Xebec's devil fruit reveals Blackbeard's Secret - One Piece theory with Japanese @bottlepiecemuses

[cryingpariah]

Ranking different One Piece family theories on a scale from 1 (let’s be sooo forreal rn) to 10 (written in the stars and in Oda's notes) Part 1/??

Disclaimer: just because I give a high ranking on a theory doesn’t mean I like it on a personal level and vice versa. I am trying to be objective about the possibility of these theories becoming canon (I will probably fail).

———————————————————————

Dragon's real father is Rocks D Xebec and he married into the Monkey Family via Garp's daughter: big BIG fan of making things up but like cmon…there’s no need to call Maury Garp is definitely the father. 0.5/10

Shanks is Coby's father: probably not canon but god I wish it was it would hilarious!! I support these kinds of delusions 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️! 1/10

Strussen is Persopero's father: absolutely horrific implications given the fact he knew Big Mom when she was 6 (?) and he was a grown ass man. My least favourite part about this theory is that it actually could be true. 7.5/10

Queen is Franky's father: boooooo hisssssss why would Oda do this to Franky nation?!?! Unfortunately probably canon. 9.5/10

Yamato is Big Mom and Kaido's kid: I feel like this would have been talked about?? Or at the very least Big Mom would have snatched Yams up and had him live with her right?? 3/10

Kong is Garp's father/a member of the Monkey D Family: yeah it lines up a little too much. He’s got the same features, the scar around eye, his name is KONG. What else do I gotta say? 8/10

Crocodile is Luffy's other parent: there’s not a lot of evidence behind this one but there’s so much belief and I gotta respect that. 6.5/10 (it’s a 10/10 in my heartttt).

Rocks D Xebec is Blackbeard's father: I mean…yeah that would make sense but it’s also kinda boring sorry 😭😭. Would be very meh if this becomes true. 8/10

[mugiwara-lucy]

I STILL believe Imu is Rocks D Xebec 😅

There are things more valuable than treasure.

Since I drew baby Croc in Whitebeard's mitten I feel I also had to try and figure out just how tiny he might be in WB's palm.

Bonus~

(That's supposed to be Xebec *lol*)

There's been a lot of times when Crocodile has had to comfort his sons from nightmares, but he never expects it to be the other way around. And why on earth should he? He's the parent, Gabe and Gryphon are the children.

So to say he's caught off guard when his dreams are being terrorized by pretty much any event from the shitshow that is his life and he wakes up to find Gabriel wiping at his eyes and saying "It's okay, Baba. You're safe." while Gryphon is piling stuffed animals around Crocodile with as much silent dignity as he can muster, is a vast understatement.

Crocodile has the particular sort of disordered sleeping that a few nights awake in a row will end with him in an exhausted, nightmare infested midday crash. And sometimes it isn’t only nightmares that get triggered by this setup.

Night terrors are horrific things. Parasomnia just in general is a horrific thing. You are awake, speaking, talking, moving, but your mind is still in that hallucinogenic state that dreams are. And it doesn’t just “switch off”, either. Night terrors- like most fits of parasomnia- end in a near seamless bleed into the waking world, and it shakes your sense of reality to the core.

It’s sleepwalking while fully conscious.

So when the boys “wake” him, he scoops them up in a bear-hug, shaking like a leaf while the dead man with violet eyes watches from the doorway.
