#Zoro has problems

[camels-pen]

the difference between zosopp and sanuso (romantic OR platonic) is that Usopp is Zoro's specialest little guy and Zoro is someone Usopp hangs out with and looks up to and hides behind when things get scary, but Sanji and Usopp are best friends. They horse around, they beat each other up, they confide their worst fears trying to one up each other. Usopp hides behind Sanji sometimes, sure, but idk, Sanji's weaknesses are more obvious (bugs, fighting women, etc) so there are times when Usopp has to stand in front of Sanji too, yknow?

Like, how do I say this, all the crewmates are equal- Usopp and Zoro are equals- but with Sanji it feels like more... comradery? Zoro's a rock in a terrible storm- even rocks tend to get weathered and chipped and worn down, but they overall stay strong and steady. He has trouble being vulnerable and there are times when the burden he's placed on himself to keep the crew safe is crushing his chest. Usopp would help with that and be very understanding, but the point I'm trying to get with that is that those moments are few and far between. So I feel like Usopp, especially after Water 7, would take Zoro's lead on something like that, and keep most of his worries to himself or only talk about them sparingly unless they're really bad and/or he can't hide them.

Sanji is like a tree in a storm; he can be strong, yes, but it feels like he bends and sways with the storm, and has more obvious breaking points. He can relate more to Usopp's struggles rather than resorting to blunt honesty that might border on callous like Zoro. And while, with Zosopp, I tend to think of scenarios with Zoro being blunt like that as a good thing- because sometimes when you're spiraling, it's nice to have someone say exactly what's great about you and shoot down all your worries with straight facts that you can't argue with- I can also see this as being a bad thing. Anxiety can really twist up your brain sometimes, you know? And despite the words, the tone could still mess someone up if they're already feeling like a burden on others in some way.

With Sanuso it's a lot more understanding and thoughtful words. It's distractions and comfort food and patience- the kind reserved for Usopp- until Usopp talks about whatever's troubling him. Compared to Zosopp, it doesn't take as long for Usopp to open up, since he's done the same thing to Sanji at times and it's more familiar to him to talk and commiserate with Sanji about his worries and doubts and such. However, there are times stuff like this has absolutely no effect and Sanji will end up at a loss, no idea what to do or how to help over the course of several days with Usopp being quiet and keeping his distance, and he'll end up working himself up about it which will only serve to make Usopp feel worse and. yeah. bit of a vicious cycle with them.

So it's like. Usopp can be weak with both of them, but since I see Sanji as the type of guy who'd be more open with his worries (at least compared to Zoro), there's less of a need to 'perform' and be his best self around him. He's comfortable around Zoro, yes, but he is constantly wanting to show that he won't be a problem to him. On the other hand, while he's more open with Sanji, and Sanji with him, they tend to relate a bit too much with each other and they both have issues with causing trouble for others and being 'deserving of love' so failed attempts at consoling one hurts the other and creates an unpleasant cycle of misery and avoidance before some other crewmate (Zoro) tells them to quit being stupid and just fucking talk to each other.

#one piece #sanuso #zosopp #long post #nemotime #does this make sense or is this the ramblings of a person who's only got 3 hrs sleep #bc thats me. 3 hrs sleep. ugh #listen okay its like. zosopp has their own growing pains to get through yknow? zoro will eventually get the whole #'oh usopp isnt as open with me bc he wants to seem tough and is also kind of doing the same thing i do. thats bad for him' #and it'll be a whole thing about making a promise between the two of them to try and be more honest with their fears and seeking help #when they need it #the sanuso thing is like. i hope i didnt mean to make it seem like sanuso is 'better' or w/e bc its just a different thing #sanuso got their own problems to sort out. 1. Sanji's everything 2. boundaries on special treatment- #i'm not gonna go seriously into this but both relationships start out not the best and get better over time yknow #also i know usopp's afraid and freaking out a lot but for this post i meant his deeper fears and insecurities #not 'i've got can't-go-on-this-island disease' lmao #the tl;dr of this post is: Usopp is more closed off with Zosopp. Usopp and Sanji have similar issues that cause problems with Sanuso. #also the way i see these ships will probably change at some point. who knows #there was a post i saw recently that was like 'hey sanuso bc romance trio were already chill with each other so sanuso became chill with #each other in an 'alone together' type of way and also they have the same issues' and i thought 'wow so true bestie' and here we are #also. man. usopp taking on / copying the behaviours of his loved ones regardless of his age is just. my jam. in a positive or negative way #maybe i'll make a post about that explaining it more. maybe

post time skip zoro looks like he's been selectively bred for hundreds of years to make his neck as wide as physically possible. just saw skypeia era zoro and I feel like I've caught a glimpse of an alternate dimension where he doesn't have the equivalent physiology of the average pug

#what in god's name did mihawk do to this man's neck. mihawk has a normal neck. was it spite. #inb4 someone replies to this saying they'll selectively breed him or something #I just know he has breathing problems #zoro #roronoa zoro #one piece #straw hat pirates

[beanghostprincess]

unpopular opinion i really think they got rid of nami’s joy and whimsy in the la. obviously it was strained up til arlong park in the anime cause she had arlong breathing down her neck and they had her trauma show out more in the la but still. where is my girlies silly !!

Nami suffering the consequences of being the only woman in the East Blue crew and Netflix being unable to write women with personalities so they have to make Nami the "mean/strict/responsible girl that takes care of the dumb men" because they're just sooo feminist and they looove empowered women (I am being sarcastic, btw).

#btw this also happens in the fandom and it bothers me a lot #bc YES she is strict and she is smarter than them but you put a bunch of shiny stuff and money in front of this girl and she loses it #and also she's the cutest thing #i think emily did a great job my problem with opla is the script i fucking hate it i have so many issues with opla's script and directing #the adventures of loverboy and hatergirl except that i'm both bc i love the cast but i fucking hate the final product #it's a 6/10 it's a 'nice' show it's not that good #it's been enough time right ??? i can say it please don't hate me #they also got rid of zoro's silliness like- he has a few jokes here and there and he's funny but idk i would've done it differently #one piece #opla #cat burglar nami

[general-cyno]

checked out the zolu tm scene in ep 6 in the jp dub of opla bc I was curious since apparently they got the og anime vas for it and let me tell you I was Not Ready to hear luffy nearly sob out that he needed zoro with his voice p much cracking in heartbreak and begging twice for zoro to wake up I'm

#lord i am not your strongest zolu soldier #also I'll never get over zoro's jp va bc god that voice is so good hdkfngnrje #kinda sad they skipped the first mate thing in jp but I believe they used the #'you got a problem with that; king of the pirates?' line instead which has its own super tasty flavor #tp

[ms-all-sunday]

i think ultimately sanjis grand failure as a character is

a good character is a character who is bad and condemned by the narrative, therefore articulating a valid point to the audience, making them likable.

a bad character is a character who is bad and endorsed by the narrative, therefore articulating a point that is wrong to the audience and asking them to endorse it, therefore making them unlikable.

and oda somehow wants both and the narrative tries to get both when discussing and addressing the same flaws and you can't have both. it doesn't work.

#modposts #i think zoro has this problem too. #but its just worse with sanji because its more of a sensitive subject #op #one piece #meta #black leg sanji

[hauntingblue]

Zoro with tashigi makes me so insane.... "I can't tolerate your existence" "you say all the stupid things she said"

#which btw the things kuina said were not stupid.... like that's just misogyny zoro that's just them facts.... he is just mad it is true #and like reasonably but he internalizes them still lmao #zoro is like the most misogynist feminist ally #its the i cant handle my feeling so i cant handle yours either #i won't fight you bc you're a woman but not bc i hate u is bc women are weaker than me (a man) but like respect #SHE DOES HAVE SORU. WHY NOT USE IT MORE IDK..... #nami will hit the children with the stick or what... #TASHIGI SHIGUN!!! SHIGUN!!! #AND IS THIS THE FIRST TIME A WOMAN HAS BEEN BADLY INJURED IN A FIGHT???? BC NAMI IN ARABASTA WAS THE FIRST GETTING HER FEET IMPALED BUT IT #DIDNT MATTER THAT MUCH AFTER LMAO #well at least zoro hit her lmao #this is a loss for feminism everywhere this has set women back 100 years #and all this so zoro can hit a woman. i guess that's progress but not on poor tashigi's honor and physical wellbeing lmao #did he use haki to scare her???? hello? what happened???? IN HALF??? #jesus christ he couldnt have done that earlier #so no haki??? #what the hell is that then #i think the problem is that zoro respected kuina bc she was better than him. and like thats his standard to respecting women.... #and as he gets better it gets harder to reach lmao #zoro hates sanji so much bc deep down he is the same #... omg #also tashigi end his ass!!! wdym he lets you have the credit. cut him in half hamburger style #luffys climbing technique.... interesting to say the least... #talking tag #watching one piece #episode 613

Buddy wtf do you mean you can't scratch your nose, can't you stretch your finger or something?

#also. i know this is like. just the start. but im sooo happy that luffy is being recognized now <3 #this page has So Much information lol #smoker getting informed 3 big shot pirates are in the town square. luffy getting recognized as A Problem. luffy in the execution stand. #his crew who were just having fun for most of the day suddenly realizing their idiotic captain is abt to be executed #top pages of all time #gi talks animanga #monkey d. luffy #smoker the white hunter #roronoa zoro #nami #sanji #usopp

[franeridan]

rereading whole cake and I love how sanji's like I went against you and fought you so I can't come back to you cause that's obviously him remembering what happened with usopp back in water seven but also it means that he totally forgot all it took for usopp to be allowed back was for him to apologize and say he wanted back in and that's just. typical mugiwara behaviour. to remember how seriously they have to take luffy as a captain but forget just how easily luffy forgives them anyway. to remember they have to respect him but forget that he loves them first and foremost

#also love that before accepting sanji back in luffy asked him to say he wanted back in #cause that's ALSO him showing he learnt his lesson in water seven #something i really love about op is how especially pre ts you can never say an arc or interaction was useless cause #all of them really do inform everyone's way of acting going forward #they learn and internalise everything and adapt to the new information wholly but without making a huge deal out of it #if a problem has arisen and has been solved they don't forget it and i love that #it's like a zoro luffy fight in whiskey peak right? there's a huge part of the fandom that doesn't like it #but the way i see it it's that that was the moment luffy learnt to trust zoro implicitly #the moment he learnt that it's fine to leave the reins to him when he's not around #and that's why they neve fight again after and also why luffy turns to him when unsure #there's a ton of moments like that all over the pre ts part of the manga #moments that change them just enough that you don't exactly notice it but still see the effects of if you look #it's a type of organic growth i seriously love

[immamapletreekid]

i am the most predictable person with the most predictably pathetic tastes in the history of predictable pathetic taste

#give me a character that is just in it for a good time. problem and conflict free #living their best life unbothered. moisturized. thriving and absolutely glowing #but is also like an actual big deal. has a reputation making them equal parts feared and admired #and give them the weirdest most incredibel fashion choices. bonus points id they are goth #and give off vampire wine aunt vibes #sprinkle in a pinch of middle aged man who somehow ends up the adoptive father of 2 and #pls he is so unserjous. he is living his best life in that fucking tiny ass boat. great unit of a black bejeweled sword on his back #lace sleeves and high heels sailing across the ocean chasing a pirate fleet bc he wanted to kill some time #he is peak gothic wine aunt malewife energy to me #HE LIVES IN A FUCKING CASTLE???? ? HIS FAVOURTIE FOOD IS RED WINE HE LIKES TO READ HE ONLY WEARS A SHIRT WHEN HES NOT WORKING #wheb i started this series i did not know who he was #and my predictions for top 3 favorhite characters were in no particular order zoro law and ace #now two od those i have not met yet. but for now #the tentative big 3 are mihawk nami and usopp #nami bc i care about her i adore her i cherish her i fuckijg love her she is so silly #usopp bc the vibes are immaculate #mihawk bc. actuslly no explanation needed im not foing to embarras myself further #but also i love all the strawhats ive met so far #they are one big happy family and they love each other and would die& kill for each other and they have a place to belong next to each other #and i think thats beautiful. #rambling about stuff

[authenticaussie]

I'm trying to pinpoint why I am inherently rubbed the wrong way by a post I saw that was like "oh I can't see genderbend x shipped with canon y" because while normally it's not my jam it's also not something I'm like 🤢 about, and then I clocked that the part I was kicking against was the implication in the last sentence, which was:

"she's too cool for him."

She is the SAME. CHARACTER. When you do a genderbend they should basically be the same character, MAYBE with some societal gender differences from being raised afab or amab depending on how you are genderbending. If an amab version of the character picks his nose then probably the afab version does as well! If the afab version is really obsessed with her looks and presentation and an outward appearance of perfection, then the amab version should ALSO do that (perhaps instead of makeup they get obsessed with presenting traditional masculinity! OR they STILL get obsessed with skincare and clothing etc. it's just all to further masculine presentations instead of feminine! You can have so many options).

And also the weird layer too of, "even though this character has a popular poly ship and a good/fun (in this case, female) love interest, I only ship the two men of the popular polycule."

I don't think this is inherently bad, but when coupled with the concept that a female version of the character would not be shipped with a male version of the character, it paints a very.... specific picture of placing your female characters on a pedestal so you don't actually have to interact with them. An implication that any woman is going to be "too cool" just on the basis of her gender presentation.

#bip bop nari drops #and THAT is the problem that seems to normally occur with genderbends #...anyway i was thinking about it and i was like. yep it's not MY jam #but if i were to see good fic that was afab!genderbend with a amab!canon I'm sure I'd be fine #<- starts thinking about my ships #okay actually i think zoro and luffy would be Weird if luffy was a girl #me: huh i wonder why. it's- #makes zoro a girl in my head and immediately it Fixes itself: oh okay I just think he's Too Gay #i love the way my brain has just. decided. luffy would date Anybody if he loved them #but zoro? 😂 no. that's a homosexual regardless of gender #if luffy fulfilled a traditionally feminine-ish gender presentation and zoro was a man he would not date luffy #if luffy fulfilled a traditionally feminine presentation and zoro was a woman she'd absolutely fall in love #hysterical to me. homosexual aura....your vibes are too strong zoro 😂

[spock-smokes-weed]

I really need to make character spread pages for my zosan ocs

especially ryu cus my hand slipped and made him a sad little baby. he had a very complicated delivery and almost didn't make it, so zoro is very protective of him.

#one piece oc #zosan #ryu has some health problems and is very very shy #he's glued to zoro's side most of the time or follow's around sora and mari (sora is his best friend cus they're so close in age) #and i think his parents want to foster his gentle spirit and tell him there's nothing wrong with having a soft demeanor #but since the world can so often be unforgiving and hard #he's self conscious about not being tough like mari is (the eldest)

[thychesters]

you mean to tell me there’s an ocean in the sky made of clouds?? and zoro and sanji watched luffy venture off into it like “do you think he can swim here?” “…. oh lmfao hang on let me get him before he drowns.”

#sounds like a luffy problem tbh #zoro and sanji on the beach playing rock paper scissors to see who has to get him #zoro always picks rock because fuck you wanna get punched in the head? rock wins #nami has the crew’s collective brain cell in a jar #one piece #kate watches op #skypiea

i like zoro a lot considering watching anime one piece just for him

#don't really care for the live action version #animanga version has so much character...... they should have kept him uglier.... i love him #cant believe my problem with the live action zoro is that he's too handsome

Kinks

Happy OPLA Weekend! Here's to celebrate that and to say thank you for everyone sticking around even if you don't love my current Ace content. ILY and appreciate you!!!

So yeah this is just like…dirty smut headcanons, so if you’re under 18 don’t let me catch you here

Characters: female reader x Ace, Zoro, Sanji, Luffy, Law, Kid CW: NSFW!!! kinks, kinks, and more kinks. Daddy kink, tit obsession, pregnancy kink, body worship, food play, glasses kink, belly bulge, praising, rough sex, dumbification, oral (giving and receiving) Total Word Count: 1.2k

Ace- daddy kink

This man has daddy AND mommy issues and it SHOWS!!! The first time it happened, it slipped out on accident. You had just gotten on your knees and slipped your lips over the tip of his cock. 

“Show me what you can do, mama.”

As soon as the words were out, you looked up at him curiously to find a soft blush on his cheeks, but you didn’t comment on it. You waited until he let out an exceptionally loud groan, and then smirked up at him. 

“You like that, daddy?” You asked innocently. You could feel his dick twitch in your hands at your words, confirming your suspicions. 

You found you liked it too. It was fun to babble the words as he slammed you down on the mattress and fucked you senseless. Every time you whimpered out “yes daddy” or “more daddy”, his thrusts seemed to somehow go deeper into you, hitting the spot that got you closer to the brink of an orgasm. 

Zoro- tit kink

Oh, Zoro loves your tits. He loves to pinch them, suck them, fuck them, anything you can think of. It’s his favorite place to cum, just watching his milky white substance leak over your soft, perky breasts makes him want to take you another round

He loves when you ride him, because he gets the perfect view of them bouncing up and down so enthusiastically. He loves watching them match the pace of his thrusts, pushing himself deeper inside you. 

You always have some kind of hickey or bite mark from him there, marking his territory every chance he gets. Even when you lay in bed, he likes to lay on your chest, and occasionally kiss or softly bite your exposed skin there. 

Sanji- pregnancy kink & body worship

Oh, the second Sanji found out you were pregnant, he became a feral animal. You never knew peace after that. 

The day he noticed your little belly bump? You went three rounds. Luckily he let you be a pillow princess because he knows how hard your body is working to carry a child. 

You have to start wearing baggy clothes because just the sight of your swollen belly makes him get a hard-on. He gets a little out of control. 

And your boobs getting bigger??? Oh, the day he realized that he nearly passed out from excitement. 

When you don’t feel like having sex, he never pressures you. He just covers your belly in kisses and whispers to the baby growing inside of you, already telling them about the All Blue and all of the dreams the two of you have, and how he can’t wait to meet them and find all of your dreams together. 

Luffy- food kink

This shouldn’t come as a surprise. Luffy loves food, and he loves you. Of course they can go together. 

Luffy suggests some CRAZY stuff at first, like coating some meat with your slick after he makes you cum a few times. He thinks the two best things he’s ever tasted (meat and you) would go great together. 

You recommend starting out small: strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. He reluctantly agrees, though he wanted you for a main meal rather than dessert. 

He likes your ideas quite a lot, the only problem is that there’s not enough. He wants more, more, more. He loves drizzling warm chocolate across your cunt and lapping it up with his tongue, your moans serenading him as he feasts. 

You don’t even get to do anything with the food the first time you try, he’s too consumed with trying everything he has at different places across your body, listening to how you react to each item and how you whimper every time he licks it up. 

You should’ve never mentioned food in the bedroom, because now every time Sanji makes something new, Luffy's wide eyes are staring at you, silently asking you: can we try this tonight? 

Law-glasses kink

“Do you even need glasses!?” You laughed, taking his off. “I feel like I can see normally in these.”

“They’re reading glasses,” Law said, trying to ignore the throbbing in his cock, now pressing firmly against his jeans. “And they suit you quite nicely. You should wear them more often.”

“You think?” You put them back on and scrunched your nose at him. 

He tried to ignore it. He really did. But then you started wearing them as you laid in bed while you read a book and waited for him to join you. 

He had practically pounced on you. When you had gone to take your glasses off, he had practically growled at you to keep them on. 

You had never been fucked like the way Trafalgar Law fucked you that night. He was primal, jumping straight to pushing himself deep inside. No foreplay needed, he was already hard as a rock and his skillful fingers only needed to pump inside you a few times before you were well lubricated. 

God, he loved the way your nose crinkled and your eyes fluttered behind the rims of those glasses. He couldn’t take your eyes off you, seeing the tiniest little reactions you give in a new light. 

And when you sucked him off, it took everything he had not to cum the moment your lips touched his cock. The way you peered over the frames, trying to act all sweet and innocent. But you had figured out his weakness, and you loved the way his golden eyes were always locked onto you as you bobbed your head up and down his dick. 

Quite frankly, it would be hard for you to take those glasses off now that you knew how much he loved them. 

Kid-belly bulge kink

“Look at that.” Kid pressed down on your stomach, making you whine with pleasure. “Oh fuck, I can feel myself.”

You could see it too. A slight bulge in your stomach had just appeared only when Kid was balls deep in you, holding himself there. Admiring himself. 

“It’s too much,” you gasped. Though your tightened walls around his cock said otherwise. 

“Such a good girl.” He pulled out of you almost completely just to slam back into you, the tip of his cock kissing your cervix. He loved to way you could take him all at once, in one full, quick stroke. 

You cried out, tears gathering on the end of your lashes. But he held you there, flush against him as he admired just how deep he was inside of you.

He fucked you hard and fast after that, the thought of his size in you. Just thinking about it made him almost cum. He kept his hand on your stomach, stuttering every time he felt himself through your abdomen. 

He couldn’t help but try out all different positions after that, his hand always firmly pressed against your stomach. He wanted to know all the positions that would make himself evident in you again, and he wouldn’t stop until he had discovered every single one.
