Luffy and his hito hito no mi 🥹

[geektrashfan]

The WG trying to keep Luffy down and inadvertently causing his devil fruit awakening is the funniest thing ever.

can we talk about law in this panel for a second like everyone is literally shocked that they’re eyes are popping out and mouths open except law well only his eyes are popping out like he looks more concerned than shocked kinda a parallel moment when luffy used g4 for the first time and sent 🦩 flying everyone was shocked and law was damn that’s cool but he’s using 2 much haki

if that’s the case on why he looks a little “different” from everyone else than i think that’s adorable

Not to sound too insane or delusional right now BUT...

I was looking at pictures of Roger and my attention got caught by the jolly roger on his hat.

Specifically on the mustache of his jolly roger, and suddenly I realised that it reminded me of something...

Luffy's twirly eyebrows during the gear 5's transformation!

And that's even more weird because if you think about it, jolly rogers are supposed to represent the captain of a crew, right? Like Whitebeard's jolly roger has exactly the same type of mustache he has, Luffy's one has a straw hat, Shank's one has his three scars and so on...

But Roger doesn't have his mustache curved like that or even of that white/light colour. He has normal (and beautiful) black mustache!

So... Why did Roger choose that kind of jolly roger, when it doesn't represent how he normally looks? 👀

You know what I'm hinting at right? Even without taking into account all the similarities between Luffy and Roger's behaviour...

Also I know that the fruit hasn't been awakened in 800 years, but it can't be a coincidence that the moustache on his jolly roger looks exactly like it would've looked like if he ate the fruit (and then awakened it)... even if we know that nobody between the era of Joyboy from 800 years ago and Luffy in the present has ever awakened the fruit, Oda might have still drawn his jolly roger like that for a reason that is linked to that specific devil fruit...

Or I might be wrong and it doesn't have anything to do with it, but in that case the question still remains... why did he choose a jolly roger that is so different from him?

If Luffy’s current powers are an anomaly, that goes against the very logic of the One Piece universe? Then, shouldn’t his final form be Eldritch Happiness?

me, realizing that bounce man and snake man were foreshadowing for luffy's devil fruit being more than just a rubber fruit and that i was a fool for doubting oda all the way back a decade or so ago when bounce man was first introduced and i thought it was dumb because while the previous gears made sense what didn't make sense was how the hell a rubber fruit would cause luffy to temporarily develop flame sun?! tattoos and eyeliner except turns out it made perfect sense i just didn't have the context needed to understand it yet:

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ONE PIECE, WANO ARC

No but HOLD THE FUCK ON.

Can we please, please talk about how it's Nami's faith in her captain, faith in her friend that kickstarts the Drums of Liberation?? Her love and trust in Luffy that awakens Nika? I haven't seen one person talk about this!

Luffy canonically dips out of his mortal coil after that deceitful power play by CPO leads to Kaido knocking his soul to the next world. Momonusuke says that Luffy's voice has disappeared. He is toast.

Nami isn't usually the first Mugiwara to stand up to the big bad villain. She's less bold and more strategic than most of the rest of the crew. But here, we see her stand up to Kaido, the strongest motherfucker we've seen thus far in the One Piece universe.

Nami was already one of my favorite Straw Hats. She's brilliant, courageous, and unabashedly self-confident in not just her looks but her capabilities as a navigator and goddamn weather priestess. But it was this moment here that made me realize how fundamentally crucial she is to Luffy's growth, how necessary her relationship with him is.

It is immediately after we see Nami say, "Keep your word, as always!" that Luffy's heart starts to beat again. It is immediately after her defiant stand in front of Kaido that the Drums of Liberation begin to beat for the first time in 800 years. I'd like to argue that without Nami's unrelenting determination and belief in Luffy that Nika might have stayed dormant and Luffy might have stayed dead. That the fruit might have reincarnated somewhere else and the Drums of Liberation would remain unheard for another generation.

This is all to say, Nami is best girl, and without her we might never have gotten Gear 5, Nika's reincarnation or Luffy's future as Emperor of the Sea.
