It's Funny How A Decade Ago People Were Ranting How Sexist One Piece Was During The Dressrosa Saga (And Now We Have A Character Like Bonney Who Is Doing Extraordinary Things)

I remember all the discourse back in the Dressarosa arc about how sexist Oda was and how he never let his females do anything. Seriously, it makes me think if the series ended around there it would have probably gotten a reputation from those people for being quote of quote sexist. The things ranged from not giving the women enough fights to damseling to female villains getting redeemed easily to ugly and older women not getting good treatment to you name it everything they could think of. Ever since then I think One Piece itself has refuted a lot of the complaints had then by people who probably won't admit they judged too early.

Since then we have gotten peak female characters, even one people deny is female due to ideology. But we got peak interesting characters that people love and show themselves to be enduring characters who defy everything that Dressrosa critics say females in One Piece are usually restricted in. They have been shown to be physical fighters and have shown to have their own stories outside of romance despite still being tied with men. I say that even some women characters who are mothers and wives and sometimes not even attractive can have interesting characters.

I take for example Chiffon who is shown to be a mother and a wife, but she also has something outside of it where she endure years of abuse due to being Lola's twin because she walked out of an arranged marriage. And again she uses her skills to help subdue her mother when she goes on a rampage even when she wanted nothing to do with her anymore. Also her relationship with her husband is just enduring and how he goes the extra mile to save her from one of her own brothers who was going to kill her.

Also I would like to add Big Mom and Brulee who both get complexity despite being antagonists and ugly. Big Mom in particular due to she could have been one big fat joke when in reality she really is someone who is a product of people who failed her that it turned her into the woman she is today. She truly was a woman with mental problems who could have been a good person if she had good direction but now she directs a household where her children fear her and are under her whim.

Also lastly we got female attractive villains that didn't turn good like Ulti and Black Maria, while they did have redeeming qualities they still remained villains to the end. Ulti was even willing to go physical with male protagonists like Luffy.

Even though it's been over a decade since Dressrosa, I still remember those inane arguments and I think how judging this series too quickly in the middle comes off as foolish especially when you see later stuff. This especially comes to female characters because again people underestimate what Oda has in surprise and how he can grow.

Cheese town, the town of dreams! 💖✨️

[cebwrites]

hi cev! 💕 I'd like to request a katakuri x g/n reader drabble where they go on a date and reader requests that he not use observation haki! I think that has a lot of silly/cute potential

a/n: hey mew!! yeeeeesss i'm delighted to make more kata food for you >:3=

dates without haki (katakuri)

gn reader word count: 0.8k

You fix your appearance in the mirror one last time, catching your husband's reflection making subtle—intentionally muted—motions you recognize as Katakuri chewing his lip behind his scarf again. If he wasn't so worried about appearances, you'd suspect that chewing would show on his otherwise perfectly manicured fingernails.

"Kata-kun," he perks up at the term of endearment, leans down when you gesture to pick a piece of lint out of his hair.

He glares at the offending particle, a blemish on his spotless appearance, yet his gaze softens when you cup his much larger head in your hands to turn his gaze to you. You're perfect as you stand before him, not a hair out place or crumb on your cheek could change that. Not the lines under your eyes from hard nights' work and especially not when you survive hard-won tummy ache battles.

And, in his eyes, he's wholly unworthy to stand at your side as the flawed person he is, putting up that faultless mask for the people around him.

"We'll be fine." You press a kiss to Katakuri's forehead, something unspoken beneath your reassurance.

It wasn't easy for Katakuri to agree to something like this; of course, he'd do anything to be the exemplary partner you deserved, but turning off a reflex that'd borderline become part of his identity proved to be more difficult than he'd like to admit.

The two previous dates "without haki" had gone as smoothly as he could manage; using his future sight once his nerves got the better of him on the first [just a little peek wouldn't hurt, right?], and being forced to on the second when the lovely picnic you had planned with him was crashed by wannabe rookie pirates stepping into the Tottoland territory without knowing what they were getting to.

They were easy pickings for him, let alone the both of you together, but because of that Katakuri wanted to make sure that this time, you'd get the perfect date you asked for.

[See: You didn't actually ask for "The Perfect" date, but he made a fuss in his own mind about it anyway.]

So you set out with him today, taking a pleasant stroll through private gardens on the quieter side of Komugi Island before making a detour through the town to pick up pastries you'd ordered the night before - it's brief, so ogling of Whole Cake's creme of the crop can be kept to an absolute minimum. You've gotten used to the usual stares and some glares from the fan club, but the only thing that matters to you is the look on your husband's face when he turns to check on you.

Katakuri is perceptive enough to notice unwarranted looks even without his haki, you ease his worries with a squeeze of his arm and a passive wave.

He is, however, slightly spooked by a fat orange tabby on the way out of town without his future sight. Kata's grateful that there's no one but you here to giggle at the blunder, only slightly huffy at the laughter that rises from your person as you give the clever creature scratches and praise.

The two of you don't really relax until you're in the safe, private confines of the mochi construction your husband typically builds to eat his merienda in. This time, it takes the form of a grand but sealed gazebo.

Peace and quiet for the next hour or so secured, you let lose to rummage through the giant treat basket you picked up in town. With an offering of kisses and a giant spoonful of pudding to his mouth, Katakuri doesn't take long to unravel either, tucking his scarf neatly aside and allows himself to be drawn into your presence, your warmth.

You spend much more time than intended in that secluded little gazebo, the amble bubbling of the juice river outside a comfortable faraway thought as you spend your afternoon with Katakuri, joined only by that cheeky orange tabby content to laze around cutely in exchange for short belly rubs.

At some point you find yourself half asleep on your husband's chest, kissing his scars and unwilling to so much as expend the energy to check the time. The cat's asleep on his other pec, you press your forehead against it, careful not to wake the man beneath you. Because you know it means going back to work, back to the not-so-hum-drum life of living in Big Mom's empire and conquering islands to grow her territory.

That darling man you'd sacrifice life and limb for, the man you married despite hell and high water and his batshit family because you loved him more than life itself.

Still, being a Charlotte was exhausting, Katakuri knew this more than anyone, so you chose to be selfish just this once and went back to sleep, disturbing nothing in this dreamy little fantasy you'd built with him for the one afternoon a month he was free enough to spend with you, his partner.

-Most Terrifying Yandere in One Piece-

Okay so I just had a thought of who the most terrifying Yandere in One Piece would be as yes, Luffy is someone who would probably rip the entire world apart just to get his hands on you but it ain’t him in my personal opinion

Sanji would crack the skull of any man who tried to speak to you and Zoro is so intimidating that no one would probably even dare try to speak to you

Boa would trap you with her without you even knowing that you’re trapped and if you ever do then you won’t be able to do anything about it, Robin knows exactly how to hurt you and exactly what to say in order to keep you from leaving her side

Akainu could have an “Only Alive” bounty placed on your head if you ever managed to escape him, Garp would chase you to the ends of the earth until he had you again

Kaido would keep you locked up in Onigashima in a place where only he would only be able to access you to ensure that he’s the only one that can see you, Big Mom would have you dragged off to Tottoland by her many sons and daughters in order to attend your wedding with her

But I gotta say that I don’t think any of them would be the most terrifying Yandere in One Piece and keep in mind that this is just personal opinion… But you know who would be?

!-POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNINGS-!

!-MINORS DO NOT INTERACT AT ALL-!

!-MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE MANGA AND MOST RECENT EPISODES OF ONE PIECE-!

!-BEWARE SPOILERS-!

That would be this fucker right here in my personal opinion… Imu…

Why? Well I’d like you to think about this as Imu is someone that little to no one knows exists and no one even knows what Imu even looks like to begin with so let’s say that somehow you did manage to escape Imu’s grasp

You can’t tell anyone who had you… No one would know who you’re talking about and now that person you just told? They’re going to face an imminent death…

We all saw what happened on Lulusia too, all that just to kill Sabo who saw Imu if I’m right. An entire country wiped from history so if you told that person about Imu then you just potentially wiped that island out…

Granted Imu might leave you unharmed like they won’t kill you but there’s a good chance that when you’re brought back to them, it will be with your ability to walk or even stand removed so now you’re stuck with this person… Assuming Imu is a person, that is…

Plus I don’t think that Imu would even reveal their appearance to you for a good long while so imagine sitting down for a meal with this person covered head to toe in black, they stare at you with these unblinking red eyes anytime that you make a sound

If there was any way to lose your appetite, it would probably be from the sheer uncomfortable feelings brought on by Imu’s staring… I don’t think that they would even speak to you for a while after being captured so you’re just living with someone whose dead silent and won’t stop staring at you…

Also that brings up the case of imagine catching the attention of Imu like maybe you were one of the few people unlucky enough to be able to approach Imu but how much more terrifying would it be if you were just some civilian?

Who knows how they found out about you but once they decide that they want you, you’re being seemingly arrested out of the blue like you’ve done the worst crime imaginable if you aren’t just straight up kidnapped

Then you’re brought before this person who you’re absolutely terrified of and have absolutely no clue what they want from you only to be left alone with them because this is home now

Fucking horrifying if you ask me…

You can’t even hope at killing Imu either as even if they have no fighting skills, you’d probably have to get insanely lucky in trying to kill them like I’m talking winning the lottery eight times in a row on the same day then seeing like a quadruple rainbow on your way home only to find that every problem with your home miraculously fixed itself kind of lucky…

So let’s say that you did achieve that kind of luck and managed to sneak up and seemingly kill Imu in order to hopefully return to your life before all of this occurred, it seems like you might be home free and escape is so close within your grasp…

But let’s not forget about something…

And knowing that the Gorosei’s devil fruit forms can regenerate from seemingly just about anything, I’d assume that Imu can do it as well so they’re pissed that you tried to kill them after how kindly that they’ve treated you

So as you’re running, you’ll likely look back and see whatever this is chasing after you until it grabs you in a grip that feels like it’s trying to crush you as they drag you back where you belong

If you make Imu mad then they likely aren’t going to treat you with kindness like I can honestly see them depriving you of food and locking you up until you’ve learnt your lesson, Imu wouldn’t kill you and wouldn’t allow anyone to lay a finger on you to harm you

But by the end, you’ll be wishing that you were dead and no matter how much you might scream that you’ve learnt your lesson… Imu will leave you there until they know that you have only coming to you to give you just enough food and water to where you’ll survive…

Once Imu is sure that you’ve learnt your lesson and will never try anything like that again, that is when you’ll finally be freed from your prison and actually start to be treated with gentleness and kindness as well

Imu might even test how your time locked up affected as you as they’ll caress you and if you lean into it then they’ll kiss you… And if you return it? That’s probably the first time that you’ll hear their voice speaking the word “Good”

They’ll be gentle with you as they wash your body and take care of you until you’re all better but don’t think for a second that Imu won’t shove you back into your prison if it’s needed…

Now this isn’t to say that any other One Piece character isn’t absolutely terrifying as everyone is absolutely horrifying like hell… Luffy is absolutely horrifying because of Gear 5…

This is just my personal opinion on who I think is the scariest… And it’s Imu without a doubt for me…

[strawberrycamel]

@redriotinggg oh you Cannot leave this in the tags, it's so good; i think i would die of sheer joy seeing Usopp actually use his Observation Haki again qwq. also fuck yeah, love the way you worded the last tag; god Sanji really would see it that way and maybe that'd fill him with the fear he thinks Usopp was supposed to have as he's yelling at Sanji's brothers- like some magical entity took all of Usopp's fear and crammed it into Sanji instead, which, hey he's already dealing with a shit ton of his own fears already he can't take on Usopp's too! >:( why won't they just leave him alone (we know why. he does too.)

@mangokabuto skjhgdkfjg i'm laughing really hard imagining Sanji in the middle of one of his speeches to Luffy, meanwhile Usopp and Franky are just working on undoing his cuffs the whole time. Nodding their heads like "yeah no we're listening" while they're very clearly Not Listening and thinking about the quickest route back to Sunny

ok but if there's a straw hat that i really wanted to be in wci its usopp bc it wouldve been such a good full circle moment where he understands why sanji was so desperate to prove that usopp, as he is, is enough for him and the crew and they will always need him

[raconteur-wanpi]

ONE PIECE 1126

Finally found the time to talk about this one. I already talked a bit about a certain character in an earlier post, but here we go into the full thing.

OK, starting off with where we left with Yamato in the cover stories -yep, it seems people in Wano are getting kidnapped and/or going missing. Last chapter we saw Minamoto the carpenter has disappeared as well. Honestly, as for who is doing the kidnappings, there's actually plenty of candidates. I think most of, if not all of the Beast Pirates were dealt with, so we might be dealing with somebody else. IIRC, the Big Mom pirates seem to have returned to Tottoland without their mother (we see Smoothie back with her siblings watching Vegapunk's message in Egghead, and she was leading the ship). It could be Perospero if he's alive somehow, but I think it'd be an interesting twist if it turned out to be something like the wild giant boar that Oden slayed back in the day, thus giving Yamato the chance to fulfill his role as a parallel to him or something. Who knows! We still don't know Kaidou and Linlin's fates, so Wano is a location to keep an eye out on for sure.

Anyway, getting in the chapter, it's so nice to see more of the classic Strawhat party celebration! Seeing them all together chilling like this is always one of the best parts. My circle has already plastered my timeline with Usopp and Sanji being inseparable again, of course. My foils meta keeps being fulfilled, let's see if Usopp ends up returning his favor and his words to him if this arc ends up mirroring Enies Lobby.

Hey what if I cried. I'm not going to sugarcoat it: I teared up like a child at this. They finally got to see the sky and the sun together, they got to sail together!!!!!!! Nobody talk to me, I think I will never recover after this page. God, if Kuma dies I'm going to be devastated. The theories around the number-named devil fruits going to the strawhats have destroyed me, and the Nikyu-Nikyu fruit being the last possible combination of numbers and the right shape for the tangerines is.... worrying me.

Bartooooo!!!! He is the GOAT of this chapter. He was already one of my absolute favorite One Piece characters, but this man's willingness to die on the spot for Luffy just cemented him even higher on the list. Thank god it was a fake-out! Everything's gonna be fine, right? Haha? Right?

Aaand there it is. Wow. OK. I cannot lie this caught me so off guard I am still reeling from it. This, is the part I made an earlier post about. Yasopp, of his own accord, after Shanks decided to spare the Barto Club and even seemed to be charmed by them, chose to shot them down. Shanks clearly didn't give the order, and it seems Yasopp might have been going for the kill, too. Perhaps he was just trying to destroy the ship, but seeing that explosion... Not to mention the narrator says after this "it is unknown if there were any survivors". This is such a merciless act from him. And for me, the reading I have of it is that it's setup by Oda for us to start feeling (even more) conflicted about his character, and this is going to be relevant going forward in Elbaf as an Usopp arc. This is a reminder of how different he is from him, he brutally shot down the Barto Club knowing well they are his son's allies and friends, with no remorse. Usopp has shown mercy and compassion most of any strawhat, I think he would be mortified by this. I wonder if this begins the setup of Usopp realizing he has put his father on a pedestal, and the idealized image of him in his head doesn't reflect reality. A lot of people didn't like Yasopp already, but this is going to put him on a looooot of fans' shitlist. Anyway, if Barto is dead I am going to jump into the ocean. Fingers crossed harder than his when he puts up his barriers.

Going back to the Blackbeard pirates; Garp's alive!!!! It seems that Kuzan couldn't take his life after all. He says "he survived", but in my eyes, he definitely chose to spare him, perhaps even unconsciously.

PUDDING CAMEO!!!!!!! MY SPECIALEST GIRLIE IN THE WORLD!!! Oh my god I'm glad she's still OK. Pudding get him. Bite him. Scratch him, do something, get his ass. Stay away from her get a joooooob. Jokes aside, I am curious about what the Big Mom pirates are planing; between their mother being Put In the Soup in Wano (status unknown), their eldest brother being well... status unknown, and Pudding getting kidnapped, they have too much going on on their plate, and I do wonder which thing they are trying to deal with first. I am not jealous of the mess poor Katakuri has to deal with right now, assuming he has been put in charge at the moment. I like to imagine he is definitely planning for ways to get Pudding back; his siblings are the most important thing in the world to him, after all.

Sigh. Caribou is still here too. For some reason. Like some sort of cockroach that just won't croak. The information he has on not one, but two ancient weapons is very concerning, and the fact he is about to deliver it to Teach of all people is definitely gonna be a big, terrifying development.

This isn't plot or anything but please look at this image of tiny Bonney holding on to Jinbe's robes. Her collection of big dads grows ever steady. That is all.

And here is our conclusion! The group of strawhats that was on the Sunny has disappeared together with it, while the rest of the crew and the giants where knocked out from the booze. They wake up looking for them and the Sunny all baffled. It seems Jinbe, Robin and Franky are the only strawhats left with the giants, although I saw some people say Brook might be with them as well. Nami, who was with those missing, wakes up in Elbaf-style garb already, inside some sort of toy-lego-house... I wonder if this means our missing strawhats have been kidnapped by another group of giants!? A toy-like dollhouse is where you'd put a tiny person in, isn't it? Dorry and Broggy and their crew said that Elbaf is still days away, even with their ship's speed, so could someone from there have somehow hijacked them in the middle of the journey? Could it be Loki himself? I guess we have to wait to find out!

[mjrtaurus]

Even when they were separated, Crocodile was on edge every time he heard Dragon was spotted in or near Big Mom's territory. He had the misfortune of sailing with that woman for years, so he's very familiar with how she treats rare races and animals like collectible dolls. And of the three races who don't live in Tottoland, one of them is the winged humans. If she ever got wind of Dragon being Shandoran, she'd either try to stick him in a giant bird cage or throw half of her daughters at him to get him to marry into the family.

Linlin always said she'd contribute to the Revolution's cause, but Dragon could see right through that shit. Frankly, she's almost as bad as the Celestial Dragons in his eyes. A spoiled child who never grew out of her bad behavior because everyone around her enabled her worst traits, only with the added caveat of being so physically strong that people were afraid to contradict her.

(Also it seems heavily implied, at least to me, that whatever is going on with Big Mom's hunger pangs is connected to the giant kids at Punk Hazard who had those same rage episodes when denied NHC-10 laced candy. This woman was potentially born as a result of gigantification experiments and suffered from untreated hereditary chemical dependence and was later almost trafficked to the same organization who caused her condition before eating her whole family due to said condition, holy SHIT, Dragon did not think the World Government could continue to sink so low).

Charlotte Linlin… to this day the name still sends an unpleasant shiver up Crocodile’s spine.

There comes a certain point in the life a person who refuses to acknowledge that they are sick in the mind that they can very easily transfer over to the role of an abuser. This was the case with Charlotte Linlin.

He is loathe to admit it, but her dream grew twisted and ugly in much the same way his had, but that is where the similarity ended. He was still a conniving, cold-blooded old bastard, don’t get him wrong, but at least he wasn’t hoarding people like shadowbox curios under some shoddily applied veneer of peace. He had standards.

Not many, mind you, bit he did have them.

The idea of Dragon being put in a not-so-gilded cage and treated as little more than breeding stock for her perfect little candyland flavored hellscape was enough to have him burning through his cigars like more of a madman than he already is.

They were long estranged, yes, but he still loved the man, dammit! That was the father of his child!

When they eventually reconcile, one of the conditions of that reconciliation is that if Dragon is ever, ever having to be in or near Big Mom’s territory (he’ll only ever be convinced that the witch is dead if someone brings him her head, and even then he’ll still have his suspicions) that he will call before he goes in and after he goes out.

He is not losing him to that berserking old hag.

Wouldn’t Cotton Candy Fit Tottoland

Seriously, I could imagine a mink singer with a bee zoan performing for Big Mom and be named after cotton candy or a variant regional name like fairy/candy floss.  

[diablademon]

I did a list of how long time there were between Charlotte siblings births.

This was made with the idea that Big Mom gave birth each and every year from she was 18 to 60 and never skipped a year. But keep in mind that she apparently gave birth 43 times in 42 years. So there was one year she gave birth two times.

First of Cracker and his sisters are only 5 months younger than Opera and his brothers. I read that children only have a chance of surving being premature birth if its been over 6 months. Because its at 6 months lungs and other organs are fully developed. But this is a show where a woman was pregnant for 22 months so everything goes in this world I guess.

Brûlée and Broyé have two different birthdays, twins being born on different dates arent that uncomman, but Broyé would have been born 9 months after Brûlée, 28 days before Nusstorte. Sounds more like Broyé would be apart of a Quadruplets with Nusstorte and his brothes than a twin of Brûlée. Most likely just a mistake on Odas part.

Anana: April 17th

526 months total from start of being pregnant with perospero (Added 9 months to before his birth) to her giving birth to Anana. ~381 of those months she was pregnant (total of 31.75 years spent pregnant) and ~145 months (~12 years) between that being not pregnant. 72% of her prime was spent being pregnant. (46% of her entire life)

Other facts: -When Big mom was 24(?) she joined Rocks Pirates. same year she gave birth to Zuccoto. -Rocks got defeated when Big Mom was 30, the year Mont-d'Or was born. -At 35 Year old Big Mom created her own pirate crew, the year when Melise was born. And as it seems her children become officers in her crew when they turn 15 means Perospero, Compote, Katakuri, Daifuku and Oven all joind the crew as officers at the same time.

I find Big Moms pirates to be very interesting and I want to know more how the development happend. When did tottoland become a candy fantasy land? Did she have to wait untill her children ate devil fruits for that to happen? Or did Streusen turn things into food? Did she leave Rocks pirate to give birth or gave birth at the ship and then left back to tottoland to leave her newborns there? Katakuri and his brothers was apparently born on a ship, but such infomation isnt mentiond for Perospero or Compote. Katakuris flashback showed him and his sibling to grow up in a city, so Big Mom didnt keep them with her.

[petrichorium]

heyo pluvi it's nyla on her main account that is honestly just a side acc at this point gjdfngkjfn but here's a fun thought, imagine you're a big mom pirate and one of her children- what are you mixed with and do yourself pulling a lola and dipping or toughing it out? how do you see yourself somehow running into shanks with this crucial lore change?

Omg………. I will get sooooo self-indulgent and insane w this actually (and likely get walloped w canon in a few days but hey before then we can do what we want) and say perhaps…….. mayhaps……….. an arranged marriage situation………

so likeeeeee i kinda. love the idea of me being an initial attempt at a member of the three-eyed tribe like pudding, bc i need a way to i would love to say im a badass rebel child w my own crew but Alas i think i am. quiet and awkward and nonathletic n mama kinda hates me rip. but she'd have a reason to wanna keep me around despite all that if i have the potential to read poneglyphs and that’d be a role i could play for shanks too yk. and my self-insert is 27 yrs older than pudding which nicely matches up to a potential me running away w shanks when hes like 22 and im like 26!!!

soooooo this all would go down when hes still gathering up his crew yk.......... mama obvi knows him as roger's apprentice but i think he kinda approaches her first to scope out her kids n see if any r worthy/possible to be poached LOLLLLLL and then almost like. out of amusement goes along w the marriage she decides to arrange. it is Not a situation like sanji ftr its a situation like bege, where she intends to have shanks as a subordinate captain through marriage.......

idk i think hes just curious when she proposes it. not exactly concerned—def a bit Overly Confident for a 22 yr old apprentice-turned-rookie potentially going up against an emperor PFFT—but again just like. amused by the situation. and w a piqued interest when he meets me, similarly to selfship canon ig!!!! i think im more timid n less self-assured in this scenario (a combo of being five yrs younger, raised by big mom, and generally the situation being entirely different) and honestly give off the vibe of being a bit uncomfortable around him. i think hes actually rlly put off by the idea of big mom forcing her daughter to marry a pirate even tho im clearly not cool w it; ofc hes not like. surprised i think he knows big mom p well but it Rlly rubs him the wrong way. suddenly hes not so amused anymore.

shanks is a serial princess rescuer in canon, even fifteen yrs earlier i think he's got those instincts already so there's a bit of a white knight instinct that i end up triggering in him. n when we finally get a moment alone (which in my head is a lil nighttime walk back to my room very romantic) he rlly does ask for my feelings and possibly straight-up offer to help me leave n it. pisses me off LMFAOOOOO i might even slap him in the face perhaps just for the audacity of it all bc like bro what!!!! whats the plan here u just wanna piss off an emperor for shits n giggles n a pretty face??? i think i reveal the eye here too, which is ofc considered an Ugly Feature in one piece canon so im intending to shock him out of whatever insanity has overcome him but also is smthn shanks absolutely understands the implications of..........

(he thinks its Very Striking for the record)

I think he does manage to convince me to run off w him before the wedding…….. he’s Very Persistent abt it n by the third or fourth time I’m convinced he has ulterior motives but as it encroaches I kinda come to the conclusion that if I refuse I’ll end up married to him anyway so perhaps better to keep my options open??? So we sneak off the night before w. Largely not a ton of pushback. Maybe shanks has a lil spat w katakuri that’d be fun 🫣 in my head this would be before tottoland is established so it’s a matter of sneaking off the queen mama chanter not. An archipelago yk……… n e way.

We have a lil slowburn after that 🥺 a lot of me swearing up and down I’ll leave at the next island and shanks insisting this isn’t the right one and next thing I know I’ve been w him for five yrs and I’m sleeping in his cabin and we kiss a lot. Actually the fun part abt this au is I’d be around for baby luffy which is very fun to me (tragic that I don’t meet him in selfship canon 💔) maybe he’s the reason we officially get together bc he’s Too Honest LOL idk. But there u go!!!

[beanghostprincess]

A very interesting AU concept would be swapping Sanji and Pudding, hear me out:

It starts with 9 year old Sanji at G€rma. In one way or another, his modifications partially activate. He is still weaker than his siblings, but its enough for J@dge to not imprison him even after Sora's death. (He still gets berated tho) Living like this slowly makes Sanji lose his emotions. He doesn't have a will to to live, yet he can't die.

Meanwhile, at Tottoland Big Mom is furios at a 6 year old Pudding because she just can't awaje her 3rd eye. She calls her a failure, punishes her for nothing, and tells her that she isn't her favourite daughter anymore. Hearthbroken, Pudding decides to run away like her big sister Lola did by hiding in the hold of a ship. She ends up in the east blue and after the ship wrecks, she meets Zeff. They are both stuck on an island fir 80 days, but he sacrifised his leg because he could never let a lady go hungry, its just wrong. Later they are saved and end up opening the Baratie.

Zeff raises Pudding as his precious daughter. She is already great at baking, but he teacges her how to make other dishes and cuisine. Everybody loves her, and anyone who even lays a finger on her will die.

Then Luffy arrives. While Pudding's real dream is to learn about the 3 eye tribe, she tells everybody that is to find the All Blue for her old man (she still covers her eye, Zeff is the only person who has seen it). After the events of the Baratie arc, she joins the crew as the cook.

The rest of the story would be similar. Pudding is now a pirate who uses her leg fighting skills and smarts to get by. (As well as an idden power thats connected to her 3rd eye) The marines gave her the epithet "chocolate leg Pudding". Im not sure if she already has the memo-memo no mi... I'm gonna assume she does and its very useful for her.

The first change in the plot is at Thriller Brak. Pudding notices her sister, but she is scared to face her at first, since that woukd mean telling her friends about her true lineage. For most if the arc, she deribetaly tries to hide herself and even wears a disguise. In a final moment in the arc, she asks Lola to talk to her privately. We don't see what happens yet, but we will one day.

The rest of the story is the same, until Whole Cake Island. When she is kidnapped by the Big Mom pirates. When her bounty poster is changed to "only alive". When the invitation to the wedfing of the 3rd son of the V!nsm@ke family and the 35th daughter of the Charlotte family are handed out. When Big Mom decides to claim her disowned child to give her up in an arranged marriage as part of a coup. Threattening to hurt Zeff and her friends if she doesn't comply.

I love this so damn much you don't even know-- I've always been saying that Pudding's story is basically Sanji's but like, with the bad ending because she never got to escape when she was little but Sanji did. And now that you mention this AU, it's just perfect to show their similarities but also to turn the stories around and,,, It's amazing.

Starting with Sanji, I adore that the approach here is that he's emotionless. I don't think he'd be like his brothers in a narcissistic, egocentric way. I think that after being abused constantly he just loses all will to leave and shuts down completely even if there is still empathy within him. The whole thing with the Vinsmokes is that they were all raised to be powerful killing machines and that's why they act like this, not because they actually are emotionless. And Sanji in this context isn't either, he just seems like he is because he just... Gives up. So I imagine a black-haired Sanji with some blond, completely shut down and just taking the abuse and living with it and serving the family without anything else.

But there is still some type of connection in him to like, animals and women, I think. It's small but it's there. He's not our sweetest boy but he won't harm women the way Niji does and he will help and feed animals because he is strangely attached to them and cooking. But Judge doesn't really say anything about it anymore because at least the kid gets the job done and doesn't seem like he's going to rebel or anything. He's kind of like in a Reiju position? Where he understands their situation and has his own emotions but just shuts down? Except that he's well, extremely depressed and mean and she's concerned for him. I think she still protects him though, she's the only one Sanji doesn't push away. Typical "they sit in silence and she hugs him and even though he stays expressionless it's obvious that he likes it with her".

And Pudding... I love that she gets her happy ending here. I've been saying Zeff has girldad energy and it just makes sense that he'd be extremely protective of her while teaching her to cook and fight on her own!! He raised the most gorgeous, sweetest, and yet ruthless cook of all seas! I think he'd be such a great dad for her because he would help her stand up for herself and also take care of her in their early years together when she is still having trouble adapting to a new, healthy environment. Of course, she still has nightmares and trauma responses when she grows up, and he helps her anyway, but she gets better at some point.

I love that he's the only one who sees her third eye!!! That'd be like, such a good plot point too for her to join the strawhats... Also, her dynamic with Luffy would be hilarious because despite being sweet, I wanna desperately keep her mean personality and she would be SOOO done with Luffy. Their relationship would kind of resemble Lusan's a lot, imo. And Nami would be sooo happy to have another girl in the crew so early!!! I also think she'd hate Zoro but not because of like, parallels with Zosan or anything, I just think their personalities clash too much-- And she'd have a soft spot for Usopp but that's because, you know, everyone does. Also, I like having a girl in the crew that isn't part of the coward trio. She actively fights and I love it. Then Vivi and Robin join them and y'know, I am starting to think another girl in the crew would be literally amazing hahahaha (I've been saying this for so long). So I am guessing everything stays the same except that during Thriller Bark she reunites with Lola but yeah, she doesn't tell the others about it. Because that's what WCI is for!

Then WCI happens... And I am losing it because I really, really, really want her to have the biggest breakdown about it and sacrifice herself Sanji-style (don't you just love how you don't even have to change the plot because they're literally parallels??? I will never understand how some people can hate Pudding lmfao she's literally Sanji). So she's forced to do the exact same thing she does in canon if she wants to save the ones she loves, but she doesn't want to kill Sanji?? Like at all?? And then you have Sanji who literally gives zero fucks about what's going on. I think he'd be forced to act politely and like a gentleman when he literally doesn't care about all of this-- And probably Pudding finds out and he's mean to her, yadda yadda yadda.

And y'know I would absolutely love if Sanji knew they're going to kill him but couldn't care less about it because perhaps dying is better than whatever life he's living, and when Pudding realizes what's going on she makes him want to live just... A little bit. Something awakens inside Sanji and suddenly he's scared and he doesn't want to do this. Sanji sees Pudding's third eye... Pudding finds out about Sanji's mother... They actually won't stop arguing at first, Pride & Prejudice style, and then Sanji sees her with a different perspective and all of a sudden he starts acting more protectively and sweet to her? So she's confused as hell and still tries to argue but uhhhh complicated relationship they've got there, but at least they help each other out.

And idk perhaps we have the Viinsmoke sibs having the same scene they have in canon and helping Sanji out but the crucial part is Reiju paralleling the original scene in which she helps Sanji escape. And he finally does and he leaves with the strawhats because I need them to have a happy ending. So he's still dealing with, you know, trying to express his emotions and wanting to live but he'll get there someday because at least now he's safe. Nobody kisses and forgets anybody because I will not allow a sad ending here, thank you.

Thinking about Warlord!1&3ji au with the East Blue Polycule

Everything goes the same except Sanji is dating Luffy, Nami, Usopp and Zoro. The story goes like the au, until WCI.

Ichiji hears about the Vinsmokes kidnapping Sanji and decides to go back to the North Blue, save his brother. They said that anything Vinsmoke related they would deal together, after all.

When he arrives, he finds the Sanji rescue team. Luffy and Nami thinks he is one of the assholes who kidnapped their boyfriend and Ichiji has to explain that no! He's not one of them! He's here to save his brother! And what do you two mean "your boyfriend"?

After some time, both Nami and Luffy accept what he's saying and go to try and save Sanji again, but with 1ji. Sanji (who can't stop thinking that if Ichiji is in danger bc, if they find him, what prevent that they'll not try to kidnapp his brother?) is in a mix of relief and concern when he sees Ichiji, because, yes, he is happy that his brother is there, but also he shouldn't be there. His brother should be safe.

Things go pretty much the same as canon except Ichiji is good and helping to save Sanji (and yes, he freaks out and gets angry when he sees the cuffs) and both Nami & Luffy are two of Sanji's partnes.

When Sanji says he wants to save their siblings and father, Ichiji don't know if he agrees or find this idea stupid. But he agrees. Even if he does find the idea half stupid.

After they get Sanji out, during the run at the ship with Big Mom attacking them and the Vinsmokes, Ichiji's boat is destroyed. Seeing this, the StrawHats let Ichiji go with them in the ship.

Then Judge comes to talk shit about Sanji and after he does he sees Ichiji. And yes, he talk shit about the red head too but he's also saying that, if Ichiji wants, he still can go back to the Vinsmokes and have the title of "Crown Prince" again. Ichiji yells Judge to fuck off, he's not going back, never! He don't give a fuck about the title or the power! He was always treated like a machine or a object but never a person! Judge says that this what he is, what both of them are, Judge's experiments and creations. Now 1&3ji yell Judge to fuck off and that they aren't machines or Vinsmokes, they are themselves!

When the crew + 1ji are in the ship, Nami asks why Ichiji isn't a asshole like their brothers and both 1&3ji explain their past. Everything. After, Ichiji asks what they meant by "Sanji's boyfriend and girlfriend" and they tell that, well, they and two more of their crewmates are dating.

Wait, wait that's so funny. Perona just left Kuraigana and Ichiji is looking at Mihawk and showing him the only alive poster and says he's going to get his brother and just fucking leaves. He probably makes it to Tottoland before the Strawhats rescue team and is trying to figure out how to go get his brother when he runs into the rescue team. They immediately attack Ichiji despite him being dressed like Mihawk or Hancock and Luffy is on him demanding to know where Sanji is as the navigator has her staff pointed, a skeleton has a sword at his neck. There's decent amount of Minks ready to kill him too.

Ichiji is looking at them all and is like 'sanji rescue team? Cool, I'm here to help' and Luffy asks how he knows his boyfriend. Nami thumps Luffy and says he can't just say that but Luffy says he's her boyfriend too and Ichiji is going to deal with that later. He will but he explains he and Sanji left a long time ago and he and Sanji have a promise to each other and there's people who are going to be pissed if he doesn't get his brother so now he's on the rescue team.

Then they find Sanji whose face is stone cold and emotionless but his eyes are windows and he's just...broken. Ichiji knows that from when he was younger as Sanji's kicking the shit out of Luffy who's not fighting back. Ichiji wants to shout and ask him what their parents would think but he doesn't and he watches his human of a brother leave. Their siblings and sperm donor looking at him. Ichiji is telling them that Sanji is here against his will and he's not sure what they have over him but they'll figure it out. For now they need to figure something out.

Ichiji gets the run down of Luffy and Nami dating Sanji and each other. Ichiji just wondering if he should mention the weirdly divorced-but-never-married-but-at-least-two-of-them-fucked parentage he and Sanji were raised in. Not even to mention Uncle Zeff and the Baratie. It's a lot. There's a lot going on and is Luffy already starving? What the fuck? Actually no it tracks from what Uncle Zeff said. And Jinbei. When Sanji comes back with food for them all and says he can't come back to crew but Luffy calls him dumb and asks what Sanji wants and Sanji breaks down just like when they were kids and says he wants to go home to the Sunny and to save their blood. Ichiji calls him dumb but they agree and the follow the plan, mostly, not really.

It's going fine, really, until Big Mom wants cake so Sanji takes Pudding to go make cake to try to help the escape efforts and it works! It's fine, mostly. Jinbei shows up and Ichiji's boat is destroyed so he's welcomed onto the Sunny. Niji drops Luffy and Sanji onto the Sunny and uh...Ichiji is confused as he leaves and then Judge shows up. And starts shit talking them.

He asks Ichiji to come back and become the Crown Prince again, to leave the failure behind once and for all. There is no ill will against him but Ichiji just lowers his sunglasses and asks Sanji if Judge is serious because he can't be. After everything? Damn he's dumb. So when Judge leaves Sanji asks if Ichiji is coming to Wano and Ichiji says he doesn't think he has much of choice because the odds of someone coming to get him right now is basically null and he needs to give his partners a shovel talk.

Luffy says it's not fair for Zoro and Usopp to not get one. Sanji says they'll explain everything and do the shovel talk. So Sanji convinces him to wait until Wano to give a shovel talk, to make it fair. Ichiji does, much to his dismay. So they get to Wano, Luffy immediately goes to fight Kaido while everyone is confused about red Sanji. Ichiji and Sanji explain they're twins but Nami says they're quads but he's the good one and apparently they need a shovel talk when Luffy gets back.

And they do all get a shovel talk courtesy of Ichiji and the four parents not there. Although Jinbei looks confused at what the red one is doing and Sanji explains it to him and Jinbei says they should probably explain to the crew what's going on and Sanji sighs and agrees. Ichiji laughs and hooks an arm around the smaller one and says their parents have been awfully worried about him since that only alive bounty came out and two of their dads have been making non stop phone calls trying to figure it out. Zoro asks what the hell they're talking about so the brothers explain their past.

They explain the escape from Germa, the rock, their parents. Sanji is rubbing his neck as his partners and crew stare at him in disbelief until they remember the warlords helped at the execution and then they still beat the shit out of Doffy and Doffy beating the shit out of him. Brook just asks why he would do that which makes Ichiji ask Sanji what the skeleton is talking about and Sanji tells them. Ichiji is laughing so hard.

"So not only did you trick Croc and help take Alabasta back for Vivi but you basically did the same thing in Dressrosa and Wano because some guy has a grudge match?" Ichiji asks breathless with laughter.

"Said guy saved my captain when he got lava punched." Sanji points out.

"So you got any cool Germa powers?" Zoro asks the red one.

"I can shoot lasers out of my eyes." Ichiji says.

"And I'm the liar?" Usopp mutters as a red beam flies past him. "Holy shit!" Usopp cries as Zoro pulls him close.

"You get used to it." Jinbei chuckles.

"Yeah, sure, okay." Usopp says with disbelief.

[abysscronica]

In “Emperors” all the yonko are gone.

Germa 66, Tottoland and some others crews seems to have some influence but i was wondering: how influent is Kid? I guess he is the only one emperor in the new world with a big fleet. Also many years passed so his strenght must be on a Devil incarnate level.

Is Kid’s influence and strenght stronger than it was Whitebeard’s?

With that OP-broken Devil fruit of his, this guy could literally control space (maybe not like Law), change climate or sink islands and face a buster call alone.

I don’t known if Fujitora, Sakazuki are still alive but how many people can stop Kid if he decides he is going to conquer the world ?

You are right, I imagine full potential Kid to be a Magneto-like character - not much short of a deity.

In Emperors, his territory is more compact compared to what was Whitebeard’s. It’s more like Big Mom, with a main archipelago and a few scattered islands around the Grand Line under his control.

As we don’t know how the One Piece world will look like by the end of the series, I admit I kept things vague and didn’t outline too much outside of what you read, except for a few things: the Marines now are directed by Smoker and Koby, there are still Four Emperors (but Kid is probably the strongest), and the remaining Strawhats are not pirates anymore and they built up their lives separately.

There is an unspoken understanding between the Marines and Kid’s crew according to which they won’t bother each other (too much) as long as no one enters the other’s territory. This deal came up naturally and it’s mostly due to birdie’s role in the Emperor’s entourage.

So yeah, you’re right, Kid is probably the strongest pirate around, at least on paper. He’s now in his late thirties/early fourties, so there are still a few decades of power ahead before a new generation of pirates can hope to challenge him.

[seapulp]

wanted to design an au big mom if she was,, sweeter, or basically raised by a better influence than streusen, treating and raising her kids kindly, and less brash (more explanation below!! :3)

In this AU, instead of Streusen finding the lonely Linlin, my OP oc Medici finds her and adopts her as her niece. Medici is a lot more stern with how she raises Linlin, using tough love and not enabling bad behaviors as best as possible. As an adult she's still has that childhood wonders, kind to those who don't get in her way, and still takes down other pirates, especially mean ones, who don't like Mother Caramel's dream/ stop her from accomplishing her goals. However, even though she's more kindhearted and sympathetic than her Canon counterpart, she's still a massive threat to those in canon as well, remaining a brute force for the Strawhats.

Redesigned her dress to look "regal" as she's past her prime, more homebody as an older woman and queen of Tottoland. With her hair I gave her back the waves and curls she had in her adult stage, just cause I like it :3 She has her usual partner Homies, but now with a new addition, Demeter, the small flower that hangs on her ear, a flower originally given to her by her late aunt, Medici. Demeter doesn't have much abilities other than wrapping around an enemy for Mama to reach them
