A peek at some adorable one piece enamel pins i've been designing for a potential kickstarter campaign! If anyone is interested let me know! I'm still working on making some slight changes and hopefully will be finalized within the next week ;))
I’m obsessed with One Piece now so here’s a collage of Jimbei/Jinbei💖 One piece fans come to me
OMG JUST UNCOVERED: SHORT SEGMENT OF THE ANIMATION MEME I THOUGHT I HAD LOST FOREVER T O T!!!
i finished fishman island!!
although i wasn't hooked from the beginning, this arc really grew on me! i really loved seeing the straw hats together again after their 2 year break. considering how emotional i was from everything that happened in marineford, it took a while to adjust to the new change of pace in the series! but seeing how strong & confident the members were made me feel so proud!!
each member of the grew worked hard to become stronger individuals for themselves AND for their captain/crew. some members trained to become physically stronger, some took the time to educate themselves, and some did both! zoro, nami, luffy, & robin are my personal favorite straw hats, so seeing them as better versions of themselves made me really happy!!! i love how hard everyone worked, and you could see it all pay off in this arc!
once i read/watched more of this arc, i started to really enjoy the plot! It was a very different side of one piece that we hadn't seen yet, other than in the sabaody archipelago arc. it expanded on the prejudice & discrimination that fishmen faced throughout history. how the hatred finds its way to the children, which creates more hatred. i really loved the narrator's monologue during the scene where jimbei gives his blood to luffy. it perfectly summarized the painful history between humans & fishmen. with jimbei's selfless act, it begins a new path for fishman island.
personally, this arc isn't in my top 5, but i really did enjoy it! i found it to be fun and the plot very interesting. i also really liked that we found out what the ancient weapon actually was in this arc after hearing about it for so long.
overall, i really loved how this arc showed us how much the straw hats grew during the timeskip. everyone did their best to become stronger so they could be prepared for the journey to the new world. i find it beautiful how devoted they are to each other and to their captain. i'm looking forward to what's next!
i love the straw hats so much!! every member has their own role and interests, and sometimes they don't align, but they all want to be together anyway. like zoro doesn't HAVE to be a pirate, sanji can cook anywhere, nami can be anyone's navigator, BUT THEY CHOOSE LUFFY!! each crew member meets luffy at the right time. before they did what they knew best, but after meeting luffy & becoming a crew member, their whole world has changed for the better. robin & nami in particular make me so emotional. they are now free to do what they want! every crew member has the freedom to live their lives on their own terms without judgment. it's so beautiful <3
Something silly
So I’m planning on making a one piece vampire dnd-ish AU and I need help.
The vampire part is a bit complicated but the gist of it is, you have three types of vampires, devils, damned and donors. Devils are those born from two vampires, Donors are also born from two vampires, but their blood can turn others into vampires. Regular vampire strengths and weaknesses for them. Damned are the ones who turn into vampires by drinking blood and get various powers( this Au’s version of devil fruit users). Damned aren’t affected by the sun.
I say dnd-ish cause I really like all the concept with the classes so I’m using those, but not the whole world lore. Aside from a few google searches I don’t know much about the different classes.
I want to give all the straw hats classes to help with the lore of the Au. So far this is what I got:
Usopp: Archer-Ranger, but he still uses his sling shot, I chose this for obvious reasons.
Nami: elementalist, from what I understand they usually have one max two types of elements, but because of Nami’s weather related abilities in the anime I’m thinking of just letting her have 4 elements but be more of a glass canon.
Robin: sorcerer(?) who specializes in rune magic, gonna combine rune with poneglyph lore. I think her devil fruit power works well with rune magic.
My biggest problem is with the close range combat types, I’m just overwhelmed with the options. I’ll give a brief description for each crew member.
Luffy is obviously a damned, but he doesn’t regularly drink blood like other vampires. Instead he eats copious amounts of food.
Zoro an ex-mercenary, also known as Vampire hunter Zoro. He just hunted vampires because they were the jobs with the biggest pay. He isn’t affiliated to any group.
Sanji is the escaped prince of the germa kingdom. The germa family are descendants of dragons and after many experiments ichiji, Niji and Yonji can all turn into dragons, Sanji is the only one who doesn’t have this power but he still has increased durability, fire resistance and strength.
Jimbei is a sea monster from Sabaody lagoon
Brook won’t be a vampire he’ll just be some type of undead creature. I like the idea that he turned into an undead by accident.
Chopper will be a reverse weredeer so he turns into a human on the full moon. Because he turned part vampire as a reindeer, when he turns into a human he loses all his power. All his transformations are a result of the vampire blood, he was just born as a reverse weredeer.
Franky i have no idea, he’s just Franky, but with a steampunk aesthetic, he adds gears and pipes just to make stuff look cooler but they’re completely unnecessary.
If any of y’all are still reading I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
I just had a full week of traveling for a move. So here is what each Strawhat would do if they had to catch a plane:
Luffy: wanders around getting distracted by everything. Only packs a backpack filled with meat. Doesn't follow TSA directions and backs up the line. Nearly walks on a different flight. Twice. Nearly misses the plane because he was busy eating. When he finally gets on the plane and it takes off he accidently opens the exit row door thinking it was to the bathroom. Doesn't understand what everyones upset about.
Nami: gets to airport early to shop at all the stores and haggles the prices down. Spends the entire time in the first class lounge ignoring the crew while drinking a fruity drink. Will fly first class even though the rest of the crew is in economy. Is asked to control her child (Luffy).
Usopp: Demands that they be at the airport 4 hours before take off. packs a million bags and ends up fumbling with them through the airport. Is the only person to look at the map and listen to the announcements. Is prepared for a long flight with snacks, water, and several forms of entertainment. Fusses over Luffy the entire time. Gets stuck in the middle seat.
Sanji: spends the entire time carrying Nami and Robin's bags. Is on Zoro watching duty but loses him the second he sees the Duty Free store. Has packed meals and snacks for the flight and is the most casually dressed. Ends up eating at one the a sit down resturant while waiting for the flight. Doesn't understand why his chef knife can't go through security.
Robin: is the most relaxed out of everyone and has the easiest time with security. Packs light and spends the entire time reading a book. Is the only one who succesfully finds a working outlet.
Jinbei: has never flown before and has no idea what he's doing. Gawks at everything and constantly apologizes when learning the rules of TSA and what not. Goes straight to gate and ends up chatting with a nice couple from Alabasta while waiting for flight. Grips arm rest when flight takes off.
Brook: hasn't flown in years but thinks he will be the master at navigating through security. Has the most issues out of everyone. Bags are to heavy so he has to dig through his things and throw things away. Gets randomly selected for extra searches and causes all drug sniffing dogs to go crazy. Spends most of his time getting lost and turned around and ends up sprinting to the gate at the last minute. Gets stuck in front of a kid who kicks his seat the entire time.
Chopper: is first mistaken as a pet until he changes form. Ends up getting mistaken for a mascot and is chased by kids through airport. Runs to robin and turns back into his normal size and spends the rest of the flight at her side. Is the one handing out gum before takeoff.
Franky: can't get past security with all his weapons so Luffy and Usopp check him in as a piece of "oversized luggage". Spends the entire flight under the plane groaning "Lammmee"
Zoro: somehow ends up on the runway wondering "where'd the airport go?" And delays all flights.
