every woman thinks she's evil and irredeemable for making a few avoidable mistakes while every man goes about his day thinking he's normal after having emotionally tortured at least 5 different women

I look at Sabo and think that maybe Dragon not raising Luffy is for the best

'It's not my fingers. It's my claws'

bro raised furry

I find it interesting that over time, Luffy began to clearly divide the people around him into his own and others'.

The East Blue saga is different from all the others, so we don't take it into account, but the rest of the major arcs are fundamentally similar to each other and the main similarity is that there is always some character of the location who will interact with the crew.

so, the first such character is Vivi, and, in fact, everything goes as usual: acquaintance, a request for help, the way to the villain of the arc, a fight, and everyone is happy, BUT Vivi is literally the only character of the location who was accepted by the Mugiwaras into the team as an equal member (even in the pauses in the middle of the episodes, she stood among them) and who later did not become a member of the team, but retained this connection.

neither Luffy nor the rest of the team showed such willingness to accept a location character into the team, no matter how close they got (neither Connis, nor Rebecca, nor Yamato, although the situations were quite similar)

my take: Mugiwaras and Luffy in particular began to grow up long before water 7 and timeskip, this process began after the first big adventure on the grand line

projecting my height diff obsession onto sanji? absolutely

One problem that men have with understanding women is that men often look for one-size-fits-all rules for all women instead of treating women like people who have different boundaries and want different things at different times. And they may have been raised with those one-size-fits-all rules.

For example, should you compliment a woman's ass? The answer isn't 100% yes or 100% no. If you're having a conversation with her and she brings up which celebrities have a nice ass, and you tell her that hers is better, that's most likely good (if it's actually true), because she already brought that up as a conversation topic. If you tell her she has a nice ass in a professional setting, that's most likely harassment, because it doesn't help to have a nice ass at that time. If you compliment her ass in response to her sharing a story about a stranger yelling "nice ass" at her, then you're likely adding to the trauma that the harasser caused.

Should you be rough with a woman? If you're consensually roughhousing and are careful to prevent hurting each other, then yes. If you're being rough by default, or when she never indicated any interest in that, or in a way that mimics abuse she's suffered, or for the purpose of showing dominance, then no.

One of my favorite Sanji headcanon's is that he has the best sea legs of the crew, tied w/ Jimbei after he joins. But he also absolutely has the WORST land legs when they make landfall.

I think this because, prior to Kamabakka, the longest period he spent on actual land seems to be starving on a rock with Zeff.

I totally buy that Germa likely had some sort of stabilizing tech on their snails, definitely in medical and engineering areas. You need a measure of stability in your evil laboratory.

But any ocean-going vessel does need to actually move with the sea. Otherwise, it won't move at all. So, I think other areas were less stabilized.

Thus, Sanji went from weird snails that swim the seas, to cruise ship, to trauma rock, to a restaurant ship before joining the Straw Hats. Moving on a ship likely feels more natural to him than on land.

I think he has trained himself to adjust pretty quickly, as a necessity, and also because the Mosshead definitely would call it out. But even still, his first few steps on any island are not as graceful as his usual stride.

Okay, ramble done.

More of the AU where Crocodile found out who Luffy was during Alabasta. (Here is the first comic!)

I received this ask:

"I saw your post about your Crocodile reacting to canon Crocodile’s antics and was wondering what you see the follow-up being? like would canon Crocodile hunt down canon Dragon and give him a beatdown for leaving their baby with Garp? And/or would he try to be involved in Luffy’s life as a parent?"

I was talking to Salasana (who wrote an epic Crocodad fic~) about this on bluesky, who suggested that Crocodile would probably abandon Alabasta and "disband" Baroque Works (to later reform it into Cross Guild.) But since he never actually got defeated by Luffy, he doesn't have a lot of faith in his son's abilities to not die like an idiot. So he tries to get him to go back home with no success. The dialogue in this is by Salasana too ;3 I do think he'd try to have a relationship with Luffy, it's just off to a rocky and weird start *lol*

And yes, he would try to find Dragon and once he does...? Who knows what will happen! Hihihi.

There are varying and excellent ideas about what would happen if Zoro was in whole cake, but I am here to tell you that if he had been there, he'd have mistaken one or more of Sanji's brothers for Sanji, and in no particular order, would have 1. told them to get back in the kitchen and make him a sandwich 2. asked them what the fuck they did to their hair, because they look uglier than usual now 3. smacked their ass or something all of those things combined would have made them feel some emotion

Mihawk, age 41: *sitting in his castle sipping wine, with Zoro and Perona running around arguing* Not a moment's peace around here.

Mihawk, age 43: *balancing a crying Nemo on his hip while making dinner as Gryphon cleaves the furniture in half, Gabe runs around playing, and Buggy is doing one of his speeches that gets everybody cheering* It's quiet today.

Cross guild romance prompt:

When S-Hawk and S-Croc are first brought to the Guild or taken in, they both bond with their adult organic counterparts. But they actually really REALLY love Buggy.

He has that energy of Safe For Children, he's actually really really good with kiddos, especially ones with trauma. He really became the kinda person he wanted and needed when he was a lil'un. Buggy really likes kids, honestly, he just doesn't interact with them much, especially lately what with his newfound notoriety. Back in the East, at least, he could go relatively under cover and set up a circus event. Now, he's got his hands tied with options.

Crocodile and Mihawk are both surprised by this but don't particularly care. So what if the clown can make balloon animals and makes the boys actually smile and laugh? He's just a clown. Clowns do that. Whatever.

It only comes to a head when, late one evening, Mihawk goes to check on the boys when he senses a strange disturbance. Buggy beat him there. The swordsman watches from the doorway as Birdie (his own seraphim, name pending, nickname in the meantime) sits on the clown's lap, rubbing tears from his eyes. Angel (Croc's seraphim, name pending, nickname in the meantime) is wrapped up against the clown's chest. The three are in the rocking chair, Buggy holding both of the boys close, comforting them with hands in hair or petting backs. And he's singing softly to them. It's a language Mihawk has never heard before, to his knowledge. Though it DOES remind him of some of the seemingly senseless babble from Shanks when he drank far too much. He stays in the shadows, watching. Observing. Memorizing.

He refuses to acknowledge the warmth in his chest as anything other than mild heartburn.

<>

Crocodile is faced with a similar situation but very much different. It's midday for one. And there are no tears or need for comfort involved for another.

It was a cooler day, and he'd seen hide nor hair from the clown for more than a few hours. Truly, a horrific notion.

He ends up finding Buggy in the kitchen, hair in a messy bun and wearing an apron. The kids are with him as well, in oversized aprons. All three are a mess, laughing, flour and powdered sugar on her faces, aprons, in their hair. It's chaotic. It's loud. It's... happy.

Crocodile just watches for a bit, as the boys bounce and squeal over the dark chocolate and red velvet cake they made, Buggy gently walking them through piping designs. He chuckles when they make a mistake, nudges them with his hip and calls it "avant garde", waves off any concern. He's gentle with them as he guides tiny, deceptively soft little hands in loops and designs, laying out stencils and sifting powdered sugar to make shapes. It's cavity inducing.

Especially when Angel, hair held back with a headband decorated with frogs, looks up at Buggy and asks without hesitation, "Can we take some to Father and Papa, mama Bug?"

Crocodile tenses. His eyes go wide. Has the clown been coaching them, has he been-

Then he catches sight of Buggy blushing, staring wide eyed at Angel. "What did you call me, Angie?"

"Called you mama Bug. Why?"

Buggy kneels down, smiling softly despite the visible confusion. "Why did you call me that, gumdrop?"

Birdie chips in at that point, leaning to peek over his brother's shoulder. "Because you're Mama."

Buggy giggles, tucking a loose curl back. "I meant, where did you silly sweeties learn that?"

Both boys grin brightly. "Books! And that story book you read us all the time, the one with the princes and knights and dragons! Papa is the big dragon, and Father is the king!" They both turn blinding smiles at the clown. "And you're the queen! 'Cause the queen is nice and warm and fun and smart and pretty! And the queen is the princes' mama, so you're mama. Mamas are supposed to be nice and cozy and take care of us. Like you do! So you're mama!"

Buggy sniffles, smiling so fondly, so softly, it makes something in Crocodile thump roughly. He won't put a name to it. He refuses.

When Buggy cups the boys' cheeks, presses a kiss to their foreheads, the logia user turns on his heel and walks away.

<><>

Just. The seraphims up and deciding that the cross guild leaders are the parents and playing accidentally-on-purpose matchmakers. Mihawk and Crocodile angrily falling for the Clown because the introduction of children has opened a new face for him, a new perspective to view and they're so pissed about it. They don't even want to beat him up anymore. They lay awake at night thinking about him. They're so mad. They're feral.

The kids are just like "wow, our dads are dumb. We should help!"

Cue a series of absolutely wild shenanigans, and Buggy is just. So confused. Then so done. So tired. He needs a nap. Maybe an energy drink. Maybe both at once.

S-Hawk and S-Croco makes sense to bond with their adult counterparts or come to a mutual tolerance of each other. The seraphim children really REALLY love Buggy because he has that SAFE energy for kids. I like that headcanon that he’s really good with kiddos, indeed he became the person for children that he wanted when he was little bug.

Buggy must be scared of interacting with kids after becoming one of the Emperor of the Sea. Yeah, Buggy could be a ringmaster and other performers in a circus back in the East Blue.

Headcanon: Buggy can make the greatest balloon animals because why not?

Mihawk going to check on the boys and find Buggy beat him to it, the clown hugging them both and calming them both. Birdie and Angel (holy stars what cute nicknames, let me guess all three have to come to a decision on what S-Croco and S-Hawk’s names will truly be and the seraphims must agree on them) Then Buggy starts singing to them! Mihawk’s heart!

Love One Piece having different languages than the common one… Maybe the language that the clown is singing in the Wado’s original language! Or maybe Roger or another Roger Pirate could speak another language and that’s what Buggy is singing in? IDK

Crocodile facing a similar situation, but it’s happier and more fun because the kids and Buggy are making treats (When you wrote that Crocodile having seen Buggy more than a couple times and to Crocodile it was a horrifying notion… does that mean Crocodile was looking for Buggy!!!) That mafia boss finding Buggy in the kitchen with the children. Awwwwwwwwww

It’s chaotic fun for Buggy and the seraphims, and they are making dark chocolate and red velvet cake! That’s so fucking cute! Squealing and wanting to kick my feet in the air of how cute the imagines I see are!!! Buggy walking them through piping the best he can, telling them that their mistakes don’t matter, and the cake still looks amazing. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

How Angel (love the headband decorated with frogs, you know that was once Buggy’s headbands or Buggy bought it for him) shocks both adults because he calls Crocodile - Father, Mihawk - Papa, and Buggy - Mama Bug! (I don't think it's only because Angel called Buggy - Mama) So, does Birdie call Mihawk - Father and Crocodile - Papa?

Crocodile thinking Buggy taught him to do that, but Buggy is as confused Crocodile is (Calling the Seraphim Gumdrop, that’s a cute nickname) Birdie agreeing with his brother about calling Buggy - Mama Bug and they learned it from books. (I read like Birdie was the one saying it, so Papa Crocodile is the big dragon, Father Mihawk being the king and Mama Buggy as the queen)

Buggy being emotional about this is so him. Crocodile’s heart thumping against his chest while Buggy is pressing a kiss on their foreheads. Going back to making the cake with Angel and Birdie as Crocodile leaves the kitchen, probably going to where Mihawk is.

Love that the seraphims are accidentally-on-purpose matchmakers and deciding the cross leaders are their parents. Love how Mihawk and Crocodile are anger that they are falling for the clown. Love that those two are lying awake and thinking about Buggy.

The kids thinking their dada are dumb and think everything will be well if they help. In the end everything was fine… but in the middle? Holy stars what did those two do? Yeah, Buggy will be needing bot an energy drink and a nap, so confused and done with what’s happening.

Shanks, still conversing with Mihawk on a snail call: So, Hawkeyes, this baby of yours? Tell me about it! Is it cute!?

Mihawk: My child's name is Dracule Talon. He looks just like me. He will be quite handsome when he grows up, but to answer your question, right now he is very cute.

Talon: *gags*

Shanks: Does he have your eyes?

Mihawk: Yes, quite so.

Shanks: Sweet!

Mihawk: He also has my hair.

Shanks: Aww!

Mihawk: And his feathers are quite soft.

Shanks: ....his uh, what?

Mihawk: His dagger-like fingers are impressive as well.

Shanks: Umm, okay...

Mihawk: He loves to eat tuna meat, fresh caught from the sea. I blend it with grapes and nuts, so we both enjoy it.

Shanks: *slight gagging noise*

Mihawk: He's also already very good with a blade. When I first carried him, I never thought I could be a father. Yet, here we are... *notices Buggy accidentally splashed him with a drink while setting a glass down* Oh Buggy, you did this to me.

Shanks: *choking on the other end* B-Buggy!?!? Your son came from Buggy???

Mihawk: Technically, Buggy alerted me to Talon's existence. However, the child did come from an Egg-oh, Talon, save some of that for Crocodile later, would you?

Shanks: E-Eg-EGG!? .....*line goes quiet*

Mihawk: My apologies, Shanks, where was I? ....Shanks?

Buggy: *yelling at the receiver* Benn, are you there? Did he faint?

Benn: Yep. Out cold. *looooong sigh* Talk to you later, I guess. *hangs up the call*

Continuation of this post. XD

Reasons why crocodile would find dragon gaining weight to be hot

-Dragon has more energy now, he is still inclined to take a nap in late afternoon but he no longer has that weariness anymore

- He is ideal for winter/winter climates, very warm, great for cuddling perfect for irate reptiles

- You can squish his cheeks (both sets)

- He has an ass now, Crocodile can’t believe he was deprived of such a perfect ass for so many years

- his hair is a thicker and healthier, very soft

- his ass

- Dragon is Crocodiles personal weighted blanket

- He has a muffin top and belly that Crocodile can paw at (it’s very effective for curbing his stress)

- Crocodile can use the new fat around Dragons hips as handholds to *ahem* rail his husband harder than a freight train

- his ass

- Dragon can fuck Crocodile against the wall now

- Dragon usually cooks dinner

Things Crocodile hates about Dragon gaining weight

- Dragon is heavier than him but carries it differently so he looks skinnier (think strong man vs rugby player) crocodile has more of a barrel chest

Dragon's a little over where he was way back in his mid thirties. Before the assassination attempt, to further clarify.

Crocodile had not been around for the attack, nor the steep decline in Dragon's health that came after. Iva tells him it was bad. Kuma probably would have, too, had he been able to.

After the violent course correction that had been that Straw Hat hellion (his Straw Hat hellion, apparently), and a few months in Level Six, Crocodile finally deigned to pay the rebel a visit.

No, he hadn't been putting it off, don't ask stupid questions. No, he was not scared, shut your mouth, Daz!

Hearing about it and seeing it were very different things.

It was... Whatever Iva had told him? It was worse than that.

He looked sickly. Like a stiff breeze could topple him. Like a mild cold could warrant a medical emergency. He was thin... Gods, was he thin...

Worse still, he wasn't... it's like he wasn't even him anymore. The molten hot determination that had first swayed him over only flickered to life here and there, otherwise it was nonexistent. He kept himself wrapped up tight in that ridiculous cloak, like he was hiding in it. The Dragon he knew never hid around friends and colleagues, let alone him...

Because that's the first thing the idiot did, of course.

Ran away in a whirlwind that didn't have half the strength as he remembered it did.

Well, tough luck. Crocodile knew him like the back of his one hand, and knew his haki signature even more intimately than that. He couldn't hide from him, so why even try? Did the idiot not know how much that stung?

Up close and personal, it was somehow even worse.

Age and stress did things to a man, of course, but this was another monster entirely. He looked... dead. His eyes were distant, almost glassy, like he wasn't even there.

"Are you going to say anything, or am I going to have to do the talking?"

See, Crocodile had a bit of an aggression problem. It bled into so much of his personality that really, it was was difficult for some to tell what exactly he was feeling. He never addressed it, nor was he ever like to, because it had its uses.

His concern had teeth, and he needed to sink them in quick before Dragon got away again.

"I can't talk much."

That was... different. No, not the not being able to talk much thing. Words just didn't want to happen sometimes. His voice was different. Low, painfully rough, all broken up and monotonous. Was he sick?

He caught himself reaching out to check for a fever when Dragon shied away. The motion bared his throat just a little more. Crocodile could see the thin edge of a scar disappearing like the tail of a silvery pink snake just beneath orange fabric.

"What the hell happened to you, Ryu?"

A lot. A lot had happened to him.

A lot to find the strength to come to terms with. A lot to find the will to heal from.

Recovering took a damn long time, and you'd think winning this gods forsaken war would have made it easier, but no. It had almost killed the man. Why did the world even need him anymore if the war was won, that sort of existential despair and whatnot...

But Crocodile was a stubborn bastard, and him being a stubborn bastard made Dragon a stubborn bastard, and it made reigniting that zest for life a little bit easier. Slow, yes, but dry cedar, gasoline, and a spark was just destruction for the sake of a big, bright flame. Dragon didn't need that. It's part of what had lead him to this mess to begin with.

Low and slow. A bed of embers chewing on a steady diet of hardwood, given a little stoke here and there. That's what Dragon needed, innuendo aside.

And now here he was, strolling along the beach. standing tall (the audacity) and strong and- dare Crocodile say it- plush. He looks warm and radiant as the sunset at their backs, the fiery golds catching in his dark eyes like amber. He's happier and healthier than he's ever known him, and Crocodile is probably going to pin him to the wall of their home the second the door closes behind them.

Unless Dragon is going to be doing the pinning. This new lease on life has very much made him more assertive with these things.

Dragon is one growl away from scruffing Sabo and carrying him around like a mama cat.

There’s been a time or two when Dragon- in full Amaru form- has snapped Sabo up by the back of his shirt to go lay him down for a nap. Which he ends up getting roped into because Sabo- for whatever reason- is a very restless sleeper when alone.

So this is how the supreme commander of the Revolutionary army ends up curled up like a giant winged cinnamon roll, with a feral little boy snoozing in his ruff of feathers.

Still thinking about feral child Sabo being raised by Dragon, who Gets It™️ because he was also a feral child (thank you and your interesting child rearing methods, Garp).

That kid growls and bites like a wild animal when he plays, which puts a lot of people off of him. And that’s all unwell and not good. Until Dragon matches him beat for beat.

And then you get fun little inferences from the rest of the Revs like

“Why is the noble kid growling and baring his teeth at the commander? Wh-… hold on, why is the commander growling and baring his teeth right back? Wait why are they squabbling like coyotes what the fuck is happening???”

Sabo is playing, Dragon is fathering, it’s fine, don’t worry about it.

What are some cryptic, strange things Mihawk might've said to Crocodile & Buggy as his way of showing his affection?

"Your gut bacteria needs to be fortified." aka "Please be sure to finish that yogurt in the fridge so you can be healthy"

"Thank you for putting your essence onto my night shirt" aka "Buggy drooled on my shirt and I'm strangely okay with that

"There's a wani stuck in the couch cushions" aka "I would like an excuse to look at Crocodile's dump truck while he's bent over"

"You two are insect joints. You should be very proud of that" aka "you're the bee's knees"

"Hello, whorelots" aka "Hello, whorelots"

poor law is experiencing horrors and the horrors are members of monkey d. family

Mini mingo and mini cora are absolutely adorable and perfect, and i cant stop imagining law’s reaction to them and the ✨implications✨ of them being twins lmaoo

Poor Law.

Notes

One Piece Academy is an ongoing official One Piece spinoff that releases in Monthly Saikyo Jump. In the magazine, the chapters are roughly 40 pages, but they're divided into two parts and released bimonthly on the official site.

You can find chapters 1-32 translated unofficially in several manga piracy sites [ x or y ]. Raws for 33 onwards can be found here.

Like most spinoffs, the original author isn't involved in its writing. However, it has been confirmed that Oda himself decided the nicknames exchanged between characters (Cora and the SHs) in the donquixote brothers arc.

For latest chapters, check the official site. It removes access to free chapters as new ones add up, so if you like a specific chapter, better keep all pages saved!

Here's the author's Twitter.

At the moment, I'm only translating specific chapters or arcs that feature Law. This post is updated after each new translation.

i love sleepy, cozy, pliant zoro. zoro blinking sleepily when sanji nudges him awake for some snacktime onigiri. zoro shuffling up behind sanji and pulling him into a hug, blearily nosing into the cook’s slender neck and snuffling his scent, head heavy on his shoulder. zoro rolling over to make room for sanji when he finally joins him for bed, letting sanji loop an arm around him and nuzzle into his sleep-warm back. zoro grunting unhappily as sanji eventually gets up to make breakfast, peppering kisses over his face in apology. sanji laughs as zoro slumps back down into the sheets, already halfway back to sleep, and turns around. but before he can move away, a warm, calloused hand encloses over his wrist and gives him a sluggish tug.

“gmornin’…”

and sanji is so overwhelmed with fondness and warmth, so endeared by his sleepy little mossball. he loves him so much.

“good morning, mosshead. you can go back to sleep.”

Ok but Dragon becoming a micro internet celebrity and gets asked to be on Thrist Tweets (is Buzzfeed run by Big News Morgans in the Modern AU? Much to think about) and he goes because he gets to plug all the important issues he’s fighting for and totally not because as filthy as the comments are they make him a little flattered (also plus he gets to do the puppy interview and he’s not passing that chance up).

“I know Crocodile can fight but can he win??” -“Yes he can, he’s very strong. You shouldn’t be fighting for people anyway.”

*picture of Dragon exiting courthouse*

“Does he do pro-bono work as in can he put bone in me 🤤🤤” - “I do in fact do pro-bono work..the regular kind.”

“Mmmfgh.” - “I don’t know what that means and I’m a little scared to say it out loud so let’s skip it huh?”

“I need to be his pretty little assistant so he can call me “good girl” when I bring him his coffee.” - “I’m pretty sure someone’s written something like that on AO3 by now. Do donate to them if you can, they’re a very important site.”

“So what are the chances he opened an OnlyFans at some point while he was retired? Asking for a friend.” - “Not zero. Sex work is work and it pays pretty damn well. Make of that what you and your friend will...”

“I just know he eats it right.” - “I’m southern, I eat a lot of things well and often.”

“I could not be the presiding judge with him in the room and still be expected to do my job correctly. Oh, you want this person to get locked up or pay a fine? Whatever you say, Daddy.” - “I mean, sweet-talking the judge and jury is the job in a nutshell, but thank you for recognizing the dangers of courtroom bias.”

“I was on jury for a divorce court case he was working, once. It was a sign from god that my man ain’t shit.” - “I would suggest couples counseling with a licensed therapist before doing anything drastic, but if your man is hard-lining against it with little to no explaination? That means he doesn’t want to work with you, and you need to get the hell outta that relationship. Speaking from personal experience.”

“Monkey D Dragon returning to the courtroom after twenty years with the meanest glow up and a face tat is wild work. Where’s my strap? I need to bend him over his own desk.” - “Did my husband write this? I feel like my husband wrote this.”

Au fucking revoir Mister Prince

Both Crocodile and Mihawk definitely suck at flirting. They both fall for Buggy and do not know what to do because they've always been too focused on their things to actually flirt, and Buggy is too fucking oblivious to get their hints. Mihawk will tell Buggy with the most menacing voice to come with him to taste a bit of red (wine) and Buggy thinks he's actually a vampire and he's gonna murder him and eat him. Crocodile will try to go for the mafioso style and buy Buggy expensive stuff, and then tell him (trying to sound sexy and failing) to return the favor (with a date or sex) but Buggy thinks he actually owes Crocodile tons of money. And then they both never find out why the hell their super crafted and romantic pick-up lines don't work.

Dragon having a midday nap but he’s just curled up on the office couch under his cloak and someone comes in looking for him only to find an indistinct green blob with spindly legs sticking out of it that’s snoring a little bit.

it’s literally endlessly fucking funny to me how certifiably insane post timeskip sabo is about his brothers. he remembered who luffy and ace were and they immediately rocketed to #1 on his priority list with absolutely no contest. he devotes himself to being an older brother with the same fanatical obsession that he’s been using to lead revolutions and luffy is so used to ‘older brother’ meaning ‘guy who has attached a significant portion of his self worth and meaning in life to you’ that it fully doesn’t even register as weird to him. he manages to secretly make luffy a vivre card and luffy acts this is reasonable rational behavior!!! just normal older brother shit for them to be fully neck deep in your business without ever mentioning it!!!! cannot believe they ever managed to make us think sabo was the normal rational one. what the fuck lmao

can someone please explain why did luffy listen to no one's backstory except for hancock's??? like... did he feel obligated because his crew wasn't around to deal with it instead of him or...? i'm so lost

So if Rocks stays with Whitebeard after Marineford and for a while calls the Moby dick home, would that make her the 'Mom' of the crew since Whitebeard is Pops?

I can just imagine it all starts one day because one of the younger members goes 'Thanks Ma/Mom' towards Rocks and it just catches on with the crew.

Yes, probably, after the crew realizes that Rocks is taking care of their pops. Older members of the crew might know who she is but it might take a while for Whitebeard to actually tell the crew (maybe he and Rocks have to figure out who they are to each other as well, after what happened.)

But when we talked about the "Mom" question before it's been suggested that it would be Marco who starts calling her Mom. He probably has a reason to do it, apart from just teasing. For example to signal to her that she has a place here with them if she wants it or to urge Whitebeard to get his head out of his ass. Sure, almost 40 years have passed, but Rocks is here now and even though WB has been insufferable while he recovers, she's not yet left. Etc etc.

Okay but Jimbei is like, an old pirate. Joining the Strawhats is basically his retirement job. He’s like “ugh man I’ve been doing all this political maneuvering for decades it’s so exhausting” and Luffy pops up like “wow lame wanna join my Funtime crew instead? I’ll let you punch whoever you want” and Jimbei’s like yeah. I do want that actually.

Never bet against Crocodile, Mihawk.

I've had this comic lying around for ages, but it's so long and I was lazy (as you can see. I only cleaned up some panels, while I redrew others... I might clean this up more later >w<)

Anyway. When I watched Film Red I was asked whether Crocodile would adopt Uta, sparing her from her dire fate. So here we are. I am committing the grave crime of stealing the Shanks and Buggy kid and giving her to Crocodile *lol* But she's got Buggy now, even though it might take him a moment to warm up to her.

(Mihawk probably assumes that Crocodile and Shanks hooked up. That'll keep him up at night for a while.)

Garp is the funniest character of One Piece because he's a marine and yet he had a revolutionary son and then three grandsons who are basically: A communist, an arsonist, and an anarchist. The four of them definitely say "fuck the Marines" on a daily basis but would probably show up to a family dinner as if nothing happened

i love when curiosity drives me to see what's going on in the more obscure hypothetically Problematique ship tags of a fandom (incest pairings and the like), and almost invariably i find very little fic but the fic that does exist is always like, over a dozen works written singlehandedly by one Extremely Dedicated Pervert. we need to cherish these people. support your fandom's local pervert today they're a load-bearing part of the ecosystem

- fight?

- sober up...
