Your gateway to endless inspiration
Ace thought he could never be loved. Or that he was undeserving of love. Not knowing he loved so so much.
He never realized how bright he stood compared to everyone.
He never realized how everyone would just want to be near him because he was warmth.
He never realized how he was always surrounded with a light that pulled all of them closer.
He never realized how his crew viewed him as the sun.
He never realized that behind his back they all called him firefly.
He never realized how he made them realize how there was still good in the world and he happens to be in the middle of it.
He never realized how the crew was before he joined now it was filled with warmth.
He never realized how they would stare at him in awe. How pretty he was.
He never realized how happy he made them just by existing.
He never realized how he had given hope to so many.
He never realized how one was deeply in love with him.
They never realized how dark, lonely and cold the world is after the sun is gone. Making them all wish they had appreciated more. Now they live on with regrets.
Ace: You all were a wonderful experience.
Luffy, Sabo, Garp, Dadan, Dadan's bandits, Deuce, Spade pirates, Whitebeard, Marco, Thatch, Whitebeard pirates, Otama, Yamato: You were... everything.
ONE PIECE WANO SPOILERS EP 1038
Otama, a nobody little kid told to stay at home while the adults fight the war, barging in with nothing but her guts and unmistakable charisma and single handedly turning the tide of the entire war is such a good parallel to Luffy at Marineford.
This arc is full of such parallels to pre time skip arcs. I’ll probably yap about it fully once I’m actually done with the arc but it’s got me wanting to rewatch the last 1000 episodes.
Cover 91 redraw or something
I legit hate drawing zoro, I can never do it right for some reason. Nami is like the exact opposite, shes so easy to draw. She's the best. And Robin with brown eyes, I like it that way
Kudos to Oda for accurately portraying how powerful & smart & resilient & brave & terrifying little girls are. Gotta be one of the most radical things he's done for the shonen genre.
Controversial Opinion.
The One Piece Anti's are actually CORRECT about One Piece having a bunch of overly-convenient powers being held by ladies, lately.
And I love it.
I love Tama and her ability to mind control literally ALL of Kaido's gifters, making her an unexpectedly central part of the protagonists' victory.
I love Jewelry Bonney and her ability to imitate Gear Five Luffy and help turn the tide of the current arc, and also control all Kuma-Fistas
I love Boa Hancock having just the right mix of powers and attractiveness that lets her Insta-KO entire armies, as well as some of the setting's most powerful characters.
Hell, if they're doing what I think they're doing with Catarina Devon, I even love that.
