im working on a drawing ask rn and boy did i completely underestimate both my lack of experience of drawing ppl in wheelchairs and also my ability to figure out how to make it look coherent. i think i kinda got it although it might look a bit shit bc i also cursed myself with perspective (minor side view its not even that serious)😭

and theres so few screenshots i can take of this guy for reference (we love a mf who only has a speaking role in ONE episode and then disappears forever) so im cooked on getting it right 😭😭😭

dear anon who sent me the ask thank you for the guy rec but also damn i can't draw wheelchairs this is my fatal flaw

Something about the ASL Brothers that I found so intriguing is that in a "normal" shonan manga/anime, Ace and Sabo would actually be the ones that fit into the regular protagonist archetype.

What I mean is, if Luffy is taken out of the story but the world of One Piece is still the same, who could the story feasibly follow? There are lots of characters that could potentially carry the series as the main character but I feel like Ace and Sabo both fill roles that are very protagonisty even though they aren't main characters.

Ace is the son of the previous Pirate King. Roger is the character that sets up the McGuffin that the whole series is named after i.e. the One Piece itself. It would make sense for the son of this character to be the driving force of the story if Luffy didn't exist. Ace, though he is never called this, is essentially the "Prince of Pirates" trying to distance himself from his father's legacy that has caused him nothing but pain. He does not want to live in the shadow of his father or be judged for being Roger's son. "The Sins of the Father" is a trope that very much haunts Ace in the narrative and that trope is also often part of a typical protagonist's journey. Of course not every single protagonist from every media ever follows that trope, but many do. (One can even argue that Luffy follows the "Sins of the Father" trope to a degree with Akainu wanting to kill him for being Dragon's son at Marineford but I digress.)

My point is that one of Ace's roles in canon is to represent the theme of Legacy (even if it's breaking that legacy), which is a strong Main Character theme.

He's on a journey to find himself, to find freedom from the ghost of his father, a journey to find a father that he can actually love and look up to. Ace represents a journey of self love, self worth, and fulfillment. He tries to find worth in himself outside of who his father was in an effort to be his own person. The sheer fact that Ace is the biological son of the character that basically sets up the whole plot of the series and yet wants nothing to do with the man very much has Main Character Energy to me.

Then there's Sabo.

The world of One Piece is deceptively cruel. At first glance, it's just a silly world with lots of pirates searching for treasure. But as the series progresses, we learn that the world is controlled by a corrupt government and military system full of people taking advantage of the system to further their own gains at the expense of the safety and well being of the common citizen.

In a more "typical" series, a world like One Piece's world would have a Main Character that's sole purpose was to bring down this corrupt government. Now Luffy does fight the power structure at times and has no love for the World Government or Navy, but his main purpose as the protagonist is not to tear down the government - his main purpose is to be the Pirate King. Take Luffy out of the story and who is set up to fulfill the task of tearing down the government? The Revolutionary Army as whole and Sabo specifically (also Dragon but this post isn't about him). Sabo is the one that directly declared war on the WG when he destroyed the Hoof/Claw of the Celestial Dragon in Mary Geoise.

Sabo represents the common person fighting against a corrupt power system in order to make the world a better place for the most amount of people. Again, this very much has Main Character Energy in my opinion.

I just love the ASL Brothers so much and the fact that each one of them could be protagonists in their own way make them all the more interesting.

you summoned me to talk about jee?

I feel too self-conscious to do deep dive character analyses but based on what little we know from canon i would sum him up as: +grumpy and judging (had to work hard for the frown lines) +swallowing things that displease him down till he explodes (i mean... 2 and a half years on zukos ship, and he got in nearly handsy fights with zuko just recently and the threat of trowing zuko over board began in the storm episode. This man seems to have some patience of steal!) +compassionate looking out for other (like the crew is on his concern obviously! but also after iroh airing out zukos dirty laundry and jee maybe feeling kind of bad things got better) +very reliable (like seriously... without jee zuko and iroh would have stranded on an abandoned isle...) +artistic (-inserts image of him playing the pipa to rest my case-)

this is now dipping into me personally flashing jee out more.

i do think he judges people silently and has a thing for gossip. he doesn't partake in it or spread it but when the crew is like gossiping he is like pretending to work and all ears, on the side. also thinks his own part in his head. (and he so hates it when he catches himself being judgy at iroh not taking things serious and he has then to agree to zuko shouting his lungs out)

is very superstitious and in a way the atla equivalent religious. BUT due to him likely coming from a simple fishers' family on a remote isle and now being a sailor, i think most of his prayer are curiously towards the ocean or moon spirit and not to the sun. he is on water, you have to respect them! also who know what kind of encounters he had following zukos avatar hunting. better be safe and invest in a talisman. (just as an example... if jee were on zhaos ship when zhao just casually says "i intend to remove the moon" jee would have just punched him off the bridge. Like you don't fuck with that suff. one moment, zhao is there. the next there is a splash and jee realizes what he did. this is me wishful thinking here)

secretly a vary romantic guy. like he doesn't have his port romances. sure, he visits brothel sometimes. but private at night he wishes for someone to call his own who he can sail the world with and play his song on the pipa and just be happy. is this poor man asking to much? on this topic, sorry to any future lovers. ocean comes first human second. (does jee know more songs about the ocean or songs about love? HA, this question is a trap! because all his love songs are for the ocean! and all his ocean songs involve love)

he does not do meditation but he does.... have his ritural of chilling with some fire whiskey and a pipe to smoke and watch the sunset or the stars. or the sunrise. one of the three. better not desturbe him. he gets really grumpy when he runs out of tabacco and fire whiskey though. well in emergency he hides in his cabin and plays the pipa til he feels more aligned with his inner self. but playing pipa motivates iroh to music night and the prince than stomping and shouting no so.... jee: i can't have some fucking peace and quiet here on this ship...

also summing up. i do think he punched more his own kind rather than others. has many tattoos. secretly closed in gay. tradition is of importance. when he gets a task he commits to it and exells even though he thinks he does the bare minimum.

also he totally survived the siege in the north and is just chilling in an EK village living finally the life he deserves! oh while i have your attention here some fan fiction with him in that i really like! (i mean i am biased, maybe because one or two got written for me or inspired by me. but genuinely amazing writers, all of them!

Stones in the road - by outpastthemoat tumblr: @outpastthemoat

1000 Ballads Between Summer & Fall - Atheriz

Jee's Tea Isn't Drugged (but Zuko's is) - thispatternismine this is the Jee POV version of the fic The Taste of Tea by the same author

there are more fics where i like jee in it, but he doesn't have a huge role from the start or at lest not much focus is on him. but these are like three where i really like how the writers flashed him out! now quick someone send me an ask about chit sang so i can trow the ball back to kath!

serious question, but how would you describe jee- personality wise?

i trust u - 🍓

this is a very funny question and also one that i think.....a certain lovely mutual may be more equipped to answer....in fact i am going to volley this to @chiptrillino to see if she may be of better use here lmfao

For those who don't know: a decently well respected fat fur artist posted an animation on Twitter (it was INSANELY good. It made me, a lesbian, huff for male wg a little), and Popular YouTuber and Fatfur meme enjoyed Pyrocinical replied to it. Exposing it to his entire fan base.

The OP privated his account because the amount of harassment he got.

There's so many things wrong with this, the most glaring of all being how far behind we as a society are with feedism. Even an ANIMATION involving NO REAL PEOPLE gets concern trolled.

Let's not forget the people who, when trying to defend the animation, used that last point to say "well, if it were a REAL FATTY then we'd have a problem. We can't let them have fun, because that would be wrong and icky and I wouldn't wanna fuck it". As if that isn't extremely infantalizing and dehumanizing to real feedees.

So called progressives when someone is fat positive and wants to be fat or get fatter:

[i-love-my-dorks-and-simps]

addressing my abandoned wg comic for my wg followers:

(ty @cargoshortsenjoyer for the suggestion!)

it will likely never be completed so as a result ill be sharing the basic ideas i had planned out for it below:

it was a highschool au staring becky/wg and tobey as being in a relationship (where tobey doesnt know becky is wordgirl)

important context for this au:

after some time of their elementary shenanigans, in middle school, tobey quits being a supervillain due to his aspirations of having a normal life. he's tired of pining over someone he knows will never reciprocate, and even more so of working so hard on his inventions that go unnoticed by everyone, especially his mother. (mommy issues alert)

after tobey's disappearance from villainy, becky/wg gets concerned for his wellbeing and check up on him (as becky). after seeing hes decided to change his ways for once (given its been years since wg originally takes place) she gives him a chance at friendship from which their rivalry turns into a sweet yet playfully competitive relationship with one another by the time theyre in highschool.

au starts:

the two are roughly in junior/senior year (undecided) nearing the end of highschool by the time the au takes place as tobey sees how the stress of school has taken a toll on becky. they have a conversation about it with tobey doing his best to comfort her when she mentions how much the supervillain population in fair city has been affecting her. being a former villain himself this sparks tobeys interest and he starts to pay more attention to his surroundings.

thats when he realizes the sheer amount of villains that had come since he quit. given they only have 2.5 heroes pulling the work of a city practically run by villains, tobey notices the imbalance there is. he finds it unjust that this has to be the state becky goes through everyday. he knows how important justice is to her (she also wants to be a district attorney like her mother) and decides to take things into his own hands

he takes out his robots for the first time in years, (only bigger and better than the ones he made when he was 10 (he's had more time to hone his skills in private)) and begins to "apprehend" supervillains in town, which prompts wordgirl to swoop into his robot warehouse to see whats been going on. (where else would he store those things? his backyard?)

from here tobey tells wg all about how hes being a hero now and creating less trouble or innocent citizens out there when she tell his that this is not the world becky (herself) would have wanted at all. shes not happy to see him like this again knowing the progress hes made and she doesnt want to fight him again after all this time.

events after the existing two parts i posted:

from there on tobey enlists the help of other 'retired' supervillains to achieve his goal of making fair city a better place (for becky). the story continues on as becky/wg urge him to stop and think about what hes been doing which he stubbornly disagrees with her, putting strain on their relationship.

throughout this tobey starts to adopt a savior complex and truly thinks its his duty to cleanse the world of villainy. everyone in fair city is too dense to realize what him and becky do. the fact that just jailing the villains alone wont stop them from crime. there needs to be an end. and he's going to be the one to do it. (adding onto this, tobey will eventually start to target regular criminals without superpowers after he gets rid of the supervillains through his mandated death penalty of those with unnatural abilities. at some point he will begin to view wg as a threat despite being a hero because she stands in his view of whats just. wg tries to save as many villains as she can and tobey is on her trail. at this point its likely rose may hold a part in his investigation, wanting to get closer to the action to get a better scoop.)

the fate of this au is undecided from here on (though there would be a ton of character moments unmentioned here to keep it from getting too long. i would love to touch on how tobecky is holding up throughout this alongside other characters reacting to the scenario (ex. family, friends, villains))

[ssiggss]

Posting abt this here bc the formatting makes it easier and bc none of my op stories or my self insert will make sense unless I post abt this gotdamn fruit AU.

Also I looked online and I'm sure at least someone has thought abt this I just could not find Anything except for the Angel Angel devil fruit so

Massive amounts of yapping below the cut.

PHOEBE'S ANGEL FRUIT AU: COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

General information about the angel fruit:

- A single moment of true goodness is not enough to earn an angel fruit, otherwise they'd be widely known like devil fruits.

- You can't just find one.

You can only earn one by selfless sacrifice- usually your own life- out of the goodness in your own heart.

One cannot earn one because they want to, if your desire in making a sacrifice is to earn one, it's futile.

You must have the necessary capacity for consistent kindness, compassion, and empathy. Angel fruits are drawn to these core values.

- Angel fruit is rare, to the point it is only a "myth."

The World Gov goes to extreme and costly lengths to ensure the "idea" of an "angel fruit" stays an idea.

This includes wiping out or "archiving" any historical hints or references to angel fruit users, and anyone discovered to be one.

This is because the idea of an angel fruit promotes that being a user makes you a beacon of hope, or goodness- and no angel fruit user has ever truly sided with the World Gov.

If they did, it was never for very long because the general rule of AF nature is that a user doesn't follow a leader, they are often leaders themself.

(A marine like Koby though, who values lives over agenda, strives to be a protector- he has the capacity to earn an angel fruit.)

This is only because (explained further down in the weakness section) if one follows an order that they know is wrong, (i.e buster calls that wipe out hundreds of people) it is sure to lead to their death.

There are exceptions to this of course- in my AU there is a man named Eythos, an angel fruit user, who followed Joyboy, because Joyboy is the embodiment of free will.

- There is no way to artificially create an angel fruit.

Of course the WG has put their top scientists (likely Vegapunk, as he developed the SMILE fruit,) on a mission to create an artificial angel fruit.

If one could be made, they could circumvent the strict natural rules of a genuine angel fruit.

However, there has been no progress despite the hundreds of experiments, countless lives and amount of money spent on the endeavor.

- An angel fruit has a very sweet taste, very light and often tuned to the tastes of the user. Texture also changes.

When one appears, the person it was meant for will be overcome entirely with the desire to eat it. This is to ensure the person who earned it actually eats it.

(I am not kidding when someone earns an angel fruit the Second and I mean the Second they see it they become a starving, ravenous animal for about as long as it takes to eat the whole thing.)

- Angel fruit will change a user's appearance somewhat.

Unlike devil fruit, you must eat the entire fruit to gain the power of it.

- If an angel fruit is eaten by someone other than the person who made the sacrifice, it will consume them and they will die painfully.

Their pupils will glow- and it is literally your soul showing through.

Angel fruit users bare their souls to the world, it may or may not be your favorite color, but it will be the color that resonates with your soul the most. You may also see a change in hair color.

(To add on: the changes in the eyes is a major marker for identification and the World Gov know exactly how to identify it.)

- Angel fruit users are actually favored by the sea, and sea prism stone acts as a major power boost.

The downside to absorbing sea prism stone is that while it doubles you power and gives you an incredible amount of energy, once it wears off, you will be exhausted to the point of collapse, if not unconsciousness. The more you consume, the longer you’ll be out.

- The weakness of being an angel fruit user is death by self destruction.

Tw: depiction of radiation burns, possible trypophobia, body rot.

In depth, when you earn an angel fruit, you've taken on a responsibility to uphold your core morals.

If you make continuous selfish or hateful decisions knowing you are wrong, willfully going down a path in life that causes irreparable harm, the angel's spirit within you will begin to consume you via the power it gives you.

The more reprehensible decisions you make, the more your own powers eat you alive.

You earned that fruit by being a person among people, by sacrificing for what you knew was right, and it will cost you your life to betray that honor.

So, for example my self insert has an angel fruit that gave them solar/lunar energy powers.

If they were to stray down a path that betrayed their moral code and knowingly caused innocent people to suffer/die, they would die via radiation poisoning:

Since the sea/sea prism stone isn't a weakness for angel fruit users, I had to replace it with something just as deadly.

Adding on, the time of the process can be varied, depending on severity and the amount of times you make such choices.

In ex:

You needlessly steal from someone poor, knowing it will cause them harm:

Depending on your powers, the effects will begin to irritate you, but you have time to either fix your mistake by some means or assure to never make that choice again.

Think of it kind of like a fever- you can overcome it, but this is the only kind of warning you get.

You willingly and knowingly murder a child:

Dead. The effect is immediate, and you are sure to die painfully and soon. There is no excuse for this, and that is a fact.

The angel fruit cannot, by the very rule of its existence, manifest for a person who is continuously guilty of willful evil.

- Angel fruit users are just as weak to Haki as devil fruit users.

Haki exists outside of devil fruit possession, so it only makes sense that it works on angel fruits users as well.

- As an AF user meeting a DF user or vice-versa, depending on the kind you have, you will find yourself partial or with an aversion to the other.

People without a fruit can learn and wield haki, so this is a set of abilities that an AF user must also be wary of.

- Angel fruit operate with the same categories as Devil fruit.

Even though AF are customized to the person it manifested for, it will fit into one of the three determinant categories:

Paramecia

Zoan

Logia

The devil within a devil fruit user can sense the angel within an angel fruit user interchangeably.

This will manifest subconsciously in the DF/AF user, which will influence how they think of and behave toward the other user.

A good example of this would be the previously mentioned Eythos, the AF user who pledged his allegiance to Joyboy and followed him.

The "gum hum" devil fruit as we all know is actually the human-human fruit- a mythical zoan type that represents a god of freedom.

Eythos had earned what I've named the "God's angel fruit."

A little bit on his powers:

Gives the user unmatched physical and mental prowess, and an intense and prominent presence. It also gives the haki potential in the user a boost, but only due to the nature of the fruit's specific type- other angel fruits do not typically do this.

People who are in the presence of the user, knowingly or not, can feel their presence and it usually manifests in fear, intimidation or awe.

Learning something new, whatever it may be, comes easy to the user, and usually the user will be able to take anything they do to the next level until it hits its maximum potential.

Eythos' fruit and Joyboy's fruit by nature were partial to each other, hence why they bonded so easily and Ethyos decided to follow him.

So say you're an angel fruit user whose powers revolve around healing or nature, you and Trafalgar Law would find yourself partial to each other, because the Op-Op fruit was likely born out of someone's desire to heal something beyond healing, or to otherwise have an environment of control.

This is all I have on it so far, I'm sure I'll keep picking at it and adding stuff but I'm satisfied with its development so far.

- A DF user cannot obtain an angel fruit, however an AF user can choose to consume a devil fruit should they find one.

This is at great risk to yourself, however, as there's no telling if you'll be able to handle the toll of both.

There will be a constant battle within you for dominance. Angel and Devil fruit can have allyship, but only when it comes in the form of two separate people.

With the complications that come with the types of fruit and the powers they give you, it is generally a very bad idea to do this.

There have definitely been some government experiments done with this to see if it was possible, but the results always came out the same.

[moongothic]

Tbh I wanna see crocodile fight someone so we can see how strong he is because the last time he’s gotten in a real fight was in marineford. Does crocodile have haki? Does he need it at all to survive the new world? Like with most of the relevant pirates knowing haki, retroactively or otherwise, it’s kinda hard to gauge what he’s capable of

Anon I am so sorry I'm gonna go slightly off-topic/become deranged because I've been thinking about writing a whole ass post about this very subject and now you just gave me an excuse to word vomit incoherently instead. So I'm just gonna do that. I'm so sorry

(Hey won't you look at that I actually came back and edited this so it's vaguely legible and there's like a proper point to my thesis lmao)

Also I am. So sorry. For how obscenely long this got. Holy shit I have no idea how this happened I am so sorry

I can not put into words just how badly I want to see this man have an actual, proper 1-v-1 fight with someone. Oda, for the love of god let him fuck up someone, please, I c̵͍͛r̶̢͠a̴͕̾v̷̠͆ḛ̶̐ ̸̤͝t̷̟̋h̷̳̓ḙ̵̀ ̷̱͌b̶͓͑l̸̦̚ô̶̠ȯ̸͇d̴̲̕

No for real though, the one, true, proper 1v1 we ever saw Crocodile have WAS with fucking Luffy and like, to be fair they did fight three times, but still, during Summit War? Sure we see him exchange a few blows but it's never a proper 1v1 because we keep on cutting from one thing to another and the opponents keep on changing etc. So there was no time for a proper battle with anyone

So out of principle alone I want to see him have a proper fight with someone (who isn't a Strawhat preferably) at least once before the series ends (though honestly if we could have more than just one fight scene with Crocodile I would not complain at all, but I might be asking too much at that point)

But also yes. I want to know Croc's actual Power Level in the story right now (and I don't mean that in a powerscaling-kinda way, just in a "I want my husband to look cool because it's what he deserves" kinda way)

Like. The Crocodile we've seen in the past absolutely under no circumstances deserves the fucking unit of a bounty he has on his head right now. And I mean, to be fair Buggy doesn't deserve his gigantic bounty either, canonically the numbers don't matter or mean THAT MUCH-- They just reflect what the WG thinks a person is worth, not the true level of threat the person actually poses But also. Croc's bounty has literally gotten like 24 times bigger from his OG pre-Shichibukai era bounty. To be fair, according to trivia his OG bounty would've at least doubled had the WG known about Baroque Works, but his current bounty would still be like 12 times bigger than before. And god fucking knows Crocodile does not fucking deserve a bounty this fucking big if he hasn't gotten any more powerful since Alabasta. No amount of hanging around with Mihawk and running evil organizations should beef up his bounty that much

So surely, he must've gotten more powerful since we last saw him action, right? Surely? Somehow?

But indeed, how?

And that's where we kinda get to the interesting part, don't we? We have no idea what Croc's been up to for the past two years. Like whatever he's been doing, surely it's been better than spending a decade sitting on his ass and barely ever lifting a muscle when overpowering rando pirates attacking Alabasta with his Logia powers, right. Like surely being in the New World alone would be enough to make him break a sweat for a change

But then like, the only two times we have seen Croc post-timeskip (pre-Cross Guild) he has been just sitting around reading the news (to be fair, the scenes were also about him catching the news about Luffy, it's not like he can't do anything else outside of those scenes). So like. I feel kind of conflicted, like on one hand to get stronger then surely he must've been working out or something. But also I do kind of mentally associate Training Arcs with much younger characters, and Crocodile is quite middle aged, like is he even allowed to go through a training arc anymore?? Especially when he's like a such a Proper Gentleman, it's so hard to imagine him to go back to the basics or anything

But also?? How else would he get stronger?? Like?? Maybe there really was?? AN OLD MAN TRAINING ARC??

But also, to be fair

Crocodile did make a big point about how he "keeps on honing and developing his Devil Fruit skills instead of stagnating like some other losers" back when he and Luffy had their first match. So I really would love it if Oda kept that actually true for the character, I'd love to see him actually whip out some new tricks, techniques and attacks instead of us seeing Sables again for the 839423th time

And really he can't really whip out new attacks if he hasn't at least tried to come up with new tricks (and preferably tried them out)

But that was just the basics right, Croc's Devil Fruit capabilities

Then there's the whole mystery of Crocodile's Haki Status. A whooole different can of worms. Considdering how the only actual damage he seemed to take during the entirety of Summit War was because of Jozu's Haki, and the fact that even fucking Blackbeard can use Haki now, it'd feel deranged if he doesn't have any kind of Haki capabilities. Like everybody knows Haki is going to be Croc's persona kryptonite, including Croc himself! And Haki Mastery really is The Thing that decides whether a pirate crew can actually make it or not in the New World (Kaidou made a specific point about that too). So surely, considdering Croc's supposed to be A Smart Boy and all, he knows he'll need to actually figure out how to use Haki if he doesn't want to lose another limb, right. Like surely he's figured that shit out, right???

Now people have been speculating for years if both Crocodile AND Moria used to be Haki users who lost their Haki after getting their asses kicked in the New World. Which, in theory would make sense, since Haki is essentially just willpower, and getting crushed the way they did would give them good in-universe reasons to why they didn't use the ability, as their traumas could translate to them losing their wills. But also it is willpower, that's not really a tangible thing you can really lose, and the idea of "Haki loss" isn't actually canon (yet at least). So although it's great fanon, we can't assume it's true. Like just as an example, we know Hancock can supposedly use Conqueror's Haki but we've never actually seen her demonstrate the ability

And to be fair to Croc (and Moria), the concept of Haki didn't really start to get Truly Solidified in the story until post-War, so expecting Alabasta!Croc to use it a whole decade earlier in real world time would be ridiculous since Oda hadn't figured out the system yet.

And while that is 100% true and fair.

Thing is. Although extremely vague, I do think Oda had been slowly starting to build the IDEA of Haki already in Alabasta. Like we know the concept gets properly introduced during the Skypiea Saga where Blackbeard both namedrops it and we get to see Observation Haki in action, under the name Mantra. But already in Alabasta, when Zoro is trying to figure out how to cut steel (to defeat Daz), that whole "breath of things" and hyper-awareness he gains when near death... I'm not the first one to point out how much that sounds like rudamentary Haki. And like, yes, on paper the idea of the battle was that Zoro became strong enough to cut steel. But also, learning to use Haki would be what would allow anyone to cut through a Devi Fruit ability like that. The same applies to Luffy's final attack on Crocodile too, his punch destroying the sand blade that before would've sliced his entire hand in half before is poetic on its own, but makes even more in-universe sense if you considder the possilibity Luffy might have subconciously been using Haki at the very end, his sheer willpower allowing him to punch Croc.

The reason I'm pointing all that out is that I kinda wonder if we might've gotten hints at Crocodile having not just Haki, but fucking Conqueror's Haki in Alabasta

This is based on two things:

First, Crocodile's pet bananawani. Yes, he could just be Really Good with animals and that would be adorable on its own. But we know Conqueror's can be used to intimidate and tame animals, including really fierce beasts. Keeping in mind that bananawani are meant to be one of the few species of animals that prey on Sea Kings, IDK, if you told me the reason Crocodile was able to tame them and keep them as pets thanks to Conqueror's, I would believe you. It's nothing solid, there's no proof one way or another, but it would make sense in-universe, it is plausible.

Second, this scene.

Does that blast of Ominous Air/Energy on the third page not remind you of one of those Conqueror's Haki shockwaves?

Of course, considdering Luffy was able to knock out Bon-chan with his untrained, uncontrolled Conqueror's in Impel Down (though to be fair, in the Impel Down scene Bon-chan was in rough condition anyways), if Crocodile was displaying his Haki here, either

A) Shit's real fucking weak or

B) He must've intentionally "kept it down" in this scene just to make sure his agents didn't actually pass out on the spot

But of course, if Croc had fullblown Conqueror's that he was able to control that well, you'd think he might've actually used it to subdue weaker enemies at some point or something (though, again, Hancock also supposedly has it and we haven't seen her use it, and if we had seen him use it on Luffy or something then the story really would've ended in Alabasta). So if that really was Conqueror's, I'd personally maybe rather lean on it being weak as hell (especially if Haki Loss was canon) over him having perfect control over it

Of course, just because that ominous blast of air in hindsight might resemble a weak ass Conqueror's Haki Blast, it doesn't mean that's what it was. Just like with the Bananawani example, there's nothing solid here to go off of, it's just plausible

(Also just for clarity's sake, Crocodile doesn't need Conqueror's Haki. I just think there could be evidence to suggest it if you overthink it just right)

All of this to say

Regardless of what Croc's Haki Status was during Alabasta and Summit War, the fact is that the dude really does kind of need Haki just to survive in the current storyline. So if he can't use ANY KIND OF HAKI, I'm just gonna be speechless. Like Luffy could kill him by just farting on him at that point Not to mention I'd actually love to see the Haki Loss-concept explored in the canon. Like either have it debunked, or somehow confirm it's a thing and show off what a horrifying threat Crocodile can be when he's actually putting his everything into a fight (same for Moria btw, if all he has to protect rn is Perona I'd love to see him go apeship and use Haki to protect her)

BUT THEN THERE'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT DIRECTION WE COULD GO WITH CROCODILE'S POWER LEVEL

OH DID YOU THINK I WAS FUCKING DONE WITH THIS POST? NO, WE'RE STILL FUCKING GOING MAN

So I've seen a lot people speculate about Logia Awakenings and what they could be like. Most people seem to agree on the theory that Punk Hazard being the way it is could be a result of two awakened Logias (namely Akainu and Aokiji) clashing. Similarly that Enies Lobby could be where an Awakened Light Fruit did a thing in the distant past, causing the eternal daytime on the island

I'm not sure I'm entirely convinced that's what Logia Awakenings will be like (some people have also suggested Enel's Final Form was a Logia Awakening, which I kinda doubt but okay), it's a neat idea in any case, we'll just have to wait and see what Oda has cooking for us

Regardless. On a mere narrative level, if they're even possible then I think it'd be cool as hell if Crocodile could act as an introduction to Logia Awakenings and what they're actually like. Because, depending on the role the bastard is going to take going forward, it could prepare us and Luffy for what's to come with Akainu (the real threat)

And again, depending on his role in the story, I think he could be an actual candidate for someone who could deserve to be Awakened-- like the whole Awakening State is sliiightly OP, and Logias are also kind of OP by default. So between OG Croc being kinda weak as hell (by current standards), but also him being an experienced pirate who's known his abilities for god knows how many decades... IDK I think he could deserve The Honors, y'know?

Like compare him to someone like Sabo or Blackbeard who got their Logias only recently and are still learning to use their abilities (more or less). If either of those fuckers somehow Awakened their Logias before Sir Fucking Crocodile I'd be kinda pissed off y'know?

The Admirals are kinda OP to begin with anyways too, I kinda just don't want Smoker to get The Honor of being the first on-screen Awakened Logia either, and really that would leave us with like... Ceasar and Enel as our only remaining options

And Dragon, if he does have a Wind Logia (which remains to be seen)

So. Yeah. If Logia Awakenings can be a thing, I think Crocodile could be the perfect guy to actually introduce them in the story (depending what his role will be).

All of this nonsense to say

Mr Oda, please, I would like to see Sir Crocodile in action pwease

And I want to know what the hell that weird spike thing was

Mr Oda please, I wish to see the Husband and see what kind of tricks he can do now after all these years, please allow him to commit a murder or two or three

AU where Sanji is stuck in Germa,Luffy is a Warlord and somehow that results in Judge being terrorized by a monkey seraphim.

I have yet to build up the courage to post on my new AO3 account, so here is the draft I've been working on these past days. Maybe you guys can share some thoughts?

One of the main premises of this fic is that Sanji is still in stuck in Germa.Judge invests resources and time into "fixing" Sanji rather than throwing him into the dungeon. A boatload of inhumane experiments later the physical modification on Sanji's body work just aswell as his brothers. Too bad the mental ones don't, but it's not like Judge cares if Sanji fells awful about killing random civilians. He only goes as far as to make sure Sanji is forced to obey orders when it comes to the modification.

So yeah, Sanji's life sucks.Time passes and he forces himself to accept his fate as a tool for Germa.It's not like he'll ever amount to anything else. He can't even as much as enter the kitchen anymore,bc Judge forbade it and he can't refuse orders.

Then something happens

Judge gave him a mission to infiltrate Egghead. 'This is a prank' Sanji thinks but as it turns out Judge is dead set on Sanji infiltrating Vegapunk's lab and stealing something for him.

A Seraphim.Vegapunks newest shiny weapon,equipped with lunarian and warlord dna.Sanji has little choice in the matter so he goes and steals S-Monkey,the seraphim of the youngest warlord,Monkey D. Luffy.

What Sanji wasn't aware of however was that this "weapon" is an absolute menace.Luffy's seraphim terrorizes the entirety of germa, especially the scientists and Judge which pleases Sanji to no end.

He starts sneaking into the labs to give it food and as a result he's referred to by his actual name instead of a mean nickname.

I haven't worked out all details yet but I'd like Sanji and seraphim luffy's first meeting with the straw hats to still be WCI.

Pekoms comes after the SHs for having Ceasar Clown and Bege ends up taking chopper too bc big mom likes collecting weird creatures.

Chopper is the first straw hat to meet Seraphim Luffy and Sanji.

Needless to say he is shocked beyond belief.Not only did the WG and Judge steal his captain's dna,no they also had to create a child soldier clone with it. He is even more sickened when he finds out that Judge did something similar to his own children.

Luffy definitely has to punch this guy once he arrives here.

Either way that's the outline I have in mind so far. Naturally the fic would extend for some chapter beyond WCI and into Wano but how far I'm not certain of yet

[weirdbellything]

also I was looking at kofis terms of service (bc I was thinking about when I release said project to have donating a little bit as a possibility if all goes well) & "weight gain from excessive eating" as something that "poses harm" SPECIFICALLY is crazy to me. like forced feeding I don't agree with you but at least I can see the "we don't want anything that even LOOKS nonconsensual" as angle but wg from eating is like ....just blatant fatphobia? even outside of kink.

WHAT amount of eating is "excessive"? For whom? How do you know this from an Internet post, especially an image or video? (The answer is always "a fat person eating anything at all". while I don't think the fetish is wrong, obviously, fat people doing anything at all is seen as inherently fetishistic by most moderation attempts, sometimes even just existing)

I know Tumblr has the same rules but Tumblr's rules have evolved to this point since the porn ban so it's less of a surprise.

[canniballinguist-2]

twitter's shit now and I don't have a following on here (yet) so I don't think doing a proper vore/wg drive would be super feasible. BUT i kinda want to play around with stuff similar to that. you know, get a bit of audience participation going. so idk.

maybe I'll make a post that's like. a numbered list of the characters I draw/write as preds. and you send a number to my askbox and I'll random number generate an amount of prey between 1 and 5. and we'll do it that way.

[that-student-that-has-homework]

(Replying to your previous post)

First of all, tysm for ur interest aaaa and yes, I'd love some tea, thank you~ ☕️ (buckle up as this is gonna be a long yap!)

Ok so— you know how all HSR charas have certain game mechanics in their character design, right? As in, most of them are Pathstriders and some are Emanators. There's also element types and then we have the different types of combat utility (e.g. DPS, sub-DPS, support/amplifier, sustain, specialist, etc.)

Basically, I was thinking how our ASL trio would be like if they were playable HSR characters. The explanations below are mostly drawn from HSR wiki and OP wiki (and my very limited knowledge as I'm still behind on OP lol). I tried to fit their techniques into HSR game mechanics. So far, these are my thoughts (feel free to add on):

----------------------------------------------------

Ace ♠️

- Path: The Destruction (According to HSR wiki, Destruction pathstriders exhibit traits of recklessness, anger, and destructive behavior. They also deal outstanding amounts of damage and have great survivability. Fitting for Ace, no? ignore that he's dead EHEM. By seeking to overcome Roger's shadow and living half of his life in anger against the world for denying his right to live, he's someone with the potential to challenge the status quo and uproot the very system that ostracized people like him. In the end though, he wasn't able to )

- Type: Fire (need I say more? lol)

- Utility: Break DPS (like Firefly)

- Gameplay/niche: Mainly drawing inspo from Firefly's and Mydei's gameplay (and Blade's, if you squint). Ace would be a dual HP and Break Effect-scaling chara who can deal massive Break damage and automatically apply the 'Taunt' effect on enemies whenever he's on the field. Ace consumes his own HP to deal damage either by using his Basic ATK (let's say 'Fire Gun', which deals Single Target DMG) or Skill (call it 'Fire Fist', which can hit a max. of 3 targets as Blast DMG). In this regular state, his Ult is locked and can only be regenerated not with energy but rather on how much HP he lost. And so, whenever Ace gets hit / consumes his own HP, he accumulates stacks called 'Fury', so that means he has to get hit a LOT / consume tons of HP in order to deal massive damage. Once he's hit that threshold/reached maximum stacks for 'Fury', activate Ace's Ult and he can self-heal once for a certain amount of HP but not fully. In the 'Fury' state, Ace will take NO damage for 2 turns (I'll call this the 'Logia' effect, which makes him immune to damage except DoT effects). When you use his ult, Ace gets a 100% action advance and enters into an enhanced state—complete with a special animation—where 'Fire Fist: Inferno' will be converted into Blast AoE break damage. In this enhanced state, his weakness break efficiency increases and he can give himself a Fire-Type RES PEN buff (meaning, Ace's enhanced attacks can negate opponents who are resistant to Fire-type damage). Be careful if he's your main DPS as he might be prone to dying easily </333.

Sabo 🎩

- Path: The Destruction The Hunt (*refer to the info on Ace for the path of Destruction. However, for Hunt pathstriders, they are considered to be determined, ruthless, and tenacious. Imo the latter fits Sabo well in terms of his personality alone. BUT... considering how he fights and his motivations, he gives off more Destruction vibes because not only is he a revolutionary, a pragmatist, and determined to overthrow the WG, but having a similar Path with Ace would be lore accurate, dontcha think? </3)

- Type: Fire (again, need I say more? XD)

- Utility: Basic ATK DPS (like Dan Heng - IL)

- Gameplay/niche: Mainly drawing inspo from Dan Heng - IL and Qingque's gameplay. Sabo would be an ATK-scaling DPS whose main damage lies in his Basic ATK (let's call it 'Short Fuse', where he essentially just attacks 3 targets with a twirl of his pipe lol). Use his Skill 'Ignition' for a max. of 3 times consecutively to enhance his Basic ATK (for every one enhancement, you increase Sabo's Crit Rate and Crit DMG exponentially). If you use his Skill once, 'Short Fuse' becomes 'Dragon's Claw' (in this state, Sabo uses his signature three-fingered claw strike for a 2-hit attack, landing Single Target DMG). Use his Skill twice, then it becomes 'Dragon's Breath' (here, Sabo uses 'Dragon's Claw' and punches the ground to create flamey claws that spring out from the fissures he made, hitting max. 3 targets as Blast DMG). Finally, use his Skill thrice, then it evolves to 'Burning Dragon Claw Fist: Flame Dragon King' (basically 'Dragon's Claw' pro-max but with extra fire that he can use to make a flaming spiral which blasts enemies away, dealing massive Blast AoE DMG). When activating his Ult, 'Fire Fist', Sabo launches a fire column similar to Ace and deals Blast DMG that ignores a certain amount of enemy DEF (we love a defense shredder hehe). Be warned that this dude is SP-negative (meaning he uses a lot of Skill Points).

Luffy ☀️

- Path: The Hunt (*refer to the description in Sabo's. Although Luffy is not ruthless, he is indeed incredibly determined to achieve his goals. He's persistent and marches ever forward, which is why I thought this path is well-suited for his character given his motivations.)

- Type: Fire (Sun God Nika ahh fr, need I say more? but I was also debating on whether Luffy can be Physical-type)

- Utility: Follow-up ATK & Ult DPS (like Feixiao); can also function as a sub-DPS (you'll see why below)

- Gameplay/niche: Mainly drawing inspo from Feixiao with a lil bit of Seele and Himeko. Luffy is an ATK-scaling DPS with a high base SPD. His main damage-dealing abilities are in his Follow-up attack and Ult. When you use Luffy's Skill 'Gum-Gum Pistol' / break an enemy's weakness / defeat an enemy, it triggers one instance of a Follow-up ATK called 'Gum-Gum Pistol Shotgun, causing his fist to hit multiple times and deal Single Target DMG (this is also why he can work as a sub-DPS). If anyone in your party fulfills either one of the other two conditions (i.e. breaking enemy's weakness / defeating an enemy), you can also trigger his Follow-up ATK. If you manage to defeat an enemy with his Follow-up ATK, Luffy's action will advance 100% and you can use his Basic ATK/Skill one more time (if you use his Skill / if anyone in your party breaks an enemy's weakness again, the Follow-up ATK count will reset and won't trigger). When you use Luffy's Ult 'Gum-Gum Bajrang Gun', he gets into Gear 5 mode and literally kamehamehas the enemy to smithereens (if you look at Feixiao's Ult, you'll know what I mean). During his Ult, Luffy's DMG is greatly boosted, Crit Rate and Crit DMG is increased, and he gains Toughness Reduction 100%. :)

----------------------------------------------------

TLDR; the ASL bois would be Main DPS'es in their own teams and would be incredibly OP lol

Sorry for the long ask! Hope this was fun to imagine at least >< I'd love to hear your thoughts as well !!

~ ⚜️ anon

⚜️ anon this was a fun read! thank you for such a detailed and well thought out response!

for a second I was wondering if you were going to give them strategies in how they would play.

please forgive me for I am not the most versed in terms of the actual battle gameplay mechanics, like ya girl has horrid builds and I'm very much: I just need to be able to kill the enemy and progress the plot.

Luffy being a Hunt DPS who can also be a sub DPS is awesome, like you can pair him up with his bros as a result.

okay, so for Ace: I really enjoy that Fury mechanic! "I also like how "Logia effect" is an absolutely BRILLIANT name. How about the Ult Blast is the Flame Commandment: Fire Pillar to introduce more of his moves? Fire Gun and Fire Fist being his basic and his blast are lovely. yes. absolutely.

if he dies quickly (well that's a dark pun) why not have Marcobe a Galagher-style abundance? Damage + healing. Or should we get a shielder instead? Diamond Jozu is the one that comes to mind...

LOL Franky feels like he'd be a preservation unit. anywho let me walk away from that, I'm getting side-tracked...

I have nothing to add to Sabo. Amazing. Though I feel like he'd inflict status effects more often than Ace...? or would he?

Physical would've been the direction I'd have gone in for Luffy, but that Nikka stuff is...interesting...there's a chance it has been mentioned in front of me but I've been conveniently ignoring/forgetting it because I haven't reached that point yet. Either way, with that context: we get the three fire bros.

For Luffy, I like that Gum Gum Pistol is the basic attack! For the skill, can it be Gum Gum Elephant Gun? I actually wanted to ask about the inspiration behind the names for his follow up and Ult too!

Luffy sounds like an OP DPS, perfect for people like me who can't build characters. but also I need multi-target stuff, so gimme an Ace...and a healer LOL

thank you so much for taking the time to share all your thoughts with me!

I'm starting to think about the rest of the strawhat crew and I wonder if Robin would be a harmony or erudition, because she's definitely erudite, but she is also super cooperative y'know?

[im-goofball]

☀️Hello again☀️ Do you any HC about what the Five like to do during their free time, past on post Wg if you want ? 🤔💖

POST WG CREATION

It's really hard for them to even find themselves any free time these days, especially with how tiring is their work. (The Lower Classes of Tenryūbito are so lucky they can enjoy "free time" more then the higher ranking ones)

But if they do find some hour/hours to spare then I think it goes like this:

Mars:

If he's alone:

He likes to transform into his full yokai form and hunt Sea Kings in Down Below, (that's how the Tenryūbito call the world beneath Marie Joa) or occasionally even some giant bird to munch on as he takes the corpses back to the Pangea Castle to have nice and quiet time with his dead prey. No, it's not considered cannibalism if you are an ancient evil bird demon . . . Right?

If he's with Peter:

He flies with Peter high in the sky, usually in the evenings but occasionally during nightime as well if neither of them are too tired (trying hard not to gain attention of some peasants living in the Holy Land or those insects Down Below). It makes them feel a sense of comfort and freedom, the only time when they can truly enjoy themselves without having their Master's constant gaze on their backs. Can be also taken as some sort of Father/Son bonding.

Peter:

If he's alone:

Sleeping. Lot's of sleeping. The child was not ready for this shit and is tired all the time. Let the worm-man rest for Nika's sake! Oh and he also has his own special garden in the Eastern Tower where he takes care of all types of plants. It's a fun time activity, especially during winter.

If he's with Mars:

Flying with dad just like Hiccup flies with Toothless. He also likes to take care of his dad's wings and tail grooming them with various types of brushes and other tools. Another form of Father/Son bonding I guess.

Ethan:

Likes to spar with the Holy Knights, especially Garling. Although he doesn't consider him as a very formidable opponent, he has to admit that the moon-haired man's techniques are almost impressive. Almost.

Sometimes goes into Wano in secret to drink in local bars. Once he is drunk enough, and believe me that takes a large amount of good sake, the other people in the bar can sometimes hear the bald samurai lament over his black-haired dragon slayer's death (his words, not mine) and how they could have spent eternity fighting one another as two celestial beings.

Warcury:

This man has no free time. He is the biggest workaholic out of all Five. Bold of you to even ASSume he had any.

Saturn:

. . . Experiments . . .

[gunthermunch]

at one hand im like, “nahh, if there is anyone who could possibly share the same level of loser-ness with wg, it’s definitely jeb” but at the other-- ten years is a long ass time, so i’m kinda accepting the fact that he may be dead already 💀 (rip babygirl, those two and a half posts in which you appeared were such a blast 😔)

well to be exact its been like 6 or 7 yyears and i didnt spoke a word to my best friends for that exact amount of time and now we're Brothers again so anything could happen really... same with morgan!

[lichenstone]

I was just thinking about this, mostly through the line of thinking of "how did Garp stay so loyal to the marines despite Literally Everything?" and there's definitely some individual character traits and beliefs that keep that man licking the boot but. Like. Marine propaganda in One Piece has to go CRAZY to have their numbers even remotely make sense.

Like. I'm from the states, yeah? and with the amount of times the marines in op show their collective ass they are very comprable to my own country's police force (and frankly, also our military). Like they fuck up A Lot, and PUBLICLY too. And while they're very good at cover-up (e.g. Ohara, Alabasta) I'm left wondering how much effort they put into recruitment.

In the states, not only to we have the commercials for the various branches (and lmty those are wild as hell), but there's also a significant amount of time, effort, and money put in to making sure that mainstream entertainment is favorable of the military as well. Not to mention the recruiters sent to schools/events, the (J)ROTC classes, and the offers for paying through college in exchange for service. But the US has one of the biggest militaries in the world and an already broadly favorable public image (in the US). The world of One Piece has fucking Gol D. Roger.

I'm sure pre-great pirate era the marines had fairly little trouble in terms of recruitment, but post Roger's execution? No way in hell. I can just imagine it. All anybody cares about is the goddamn One Piece and the marines are Desperate for some fresh blood. Queue recruiters in every island in the grand line and beyond doing their damn best to "how do you do, fellow kids" their way into getting some baby-faced high-school juniors to sign their lives away. They try to make joining the marines sound like the coolest thing in the fucking world. "Who cares about the One Piece? Join the marines and you can uhh-"

Like the WG HAD to paint all pirates as uniquely evil and the marines as solely good because literally any other reason to join the marines beside serving the nebulous idea of justice Gol D. Roger already got by being a fucking pirate. Not only that, but promised to whoever could find the One Piece. Idk about y'all but going on a no-rules worldwide scavenger hunt with my besties to get fame and fortune sounds WAY more fun than joining the fucking navy as cannon fodder. The marines had to be working their ASSES OFF trying to get people to join; especially after every time they fucked up massively and publicly.

I know there's some very juicy thematic implications of this but all I'm thinking about is the workplace comedy that would be the marines' PR department trying to make the marines seem like a decent and honorable career path after every time a pirate crew does something cool or news is leaked of the marines publicly shitting the bed.
