THEY BROUGHT IN THE MOTHERFLIPPIN' MONKEY PRINCE
omg guys young justice dark book was just announced !!!
Luffy as Nika with Going Merry 🙂
HERE COMES ZOLU GOD AU WITH A STEELCHAIR!!!!! Lore below!
(In which everything is the same except Luffy was 'born' as a god-like entity and grew copying the people of his island.
He basically copied and pasted human (and some non human) behaviors, especially kids (i'm looking at the ASL brothers.) until whatever blob of energy he was, turned into something resembling human. (See how luffy is kind of a physical mix between sabo and ace? yeah. he took inspiration)
He's the manifestation of freedom, but he also made up the personality we know and love, as kids do. He's 18 when some weird three sworded demon gets deployed by some mercenaries of the island who want to get rid of the really weird devil fruit user that keeps breaking havoc and getting in their way. Zoro just came for a simple job and got a handful of Sun god. Good for him. Also, because this au is basically a What If scenario in which everything but Luffy is the same, you can assume that finding the one piece is ON the table. Being a pirate and finding the crew is ON the table. It just takes a couple extra years, give or take. I'm thinking that there's a reason why Luffy hasn't left the island already, but Zoro is, ironically enough, the one to push him to go and go crazy at sea. Also, because Zoro never got to meet Luffy early on, he's a little extra grumpier. He has no friends basically and his life's purpose is kinda a bit stranded at the moment. He's been picking up odd jobs for some time now and it's gotten old. He's losing his edge and he hates it. And then he meets ITS FREE REAL STATE himself. Huzzah. Ps: Yeah the world government knows about Luffy. Kinda. They've been ignoring him and praying/hoping/begging to whatever god is out there that he DOESNT GET OUT. Too bad.)
S. So I saw this figure of Gear 5 Luffy online that also had a built in lamp so I. I bought him and I finally got him in the mail and
HE’S BOOTIFUL….
I gotta say I'm obsessed with what Luffy does to the typical "sunshine" character trope, in that he's an exception to the usual portrayal but perhaps the most true to it of anyone. He's not "sunshine" as in pure niceness and sweetness and innocence. He's sunshine as in The Sun.
He's joy and light and warmth, illuminating all the beauty of the world, but he's also powerful enough to kill and blind and burn. He's an everyday annoyance. He's the strongest force of nature that exists. His happiness shines bright for miles. So does his rage. You could look at him wrong and be screwed up for life. You never want to live without him.
I can't get over this.
If we consider what Vegapunk said about the origin of devil fruits to be true, it is entirely possible that both Luffy and Loki have the sun god's devil fruit, as people have very different views of Nika, with Luffy having the fruit that represents the version of Nika who is the god and warrior of liberation, and Loki the one that represents the version of god of destruction
Behold that beauty of his…!! He resembles a being that has only been described in the ancient texts!! The Warrior of Liberation, whose foolish antics brought a smile to everyone’s faces — also known as, Nika, the Sun God!!
