Law, hearing about Marineford, deciding "on a whim" to change course and haul Luffy's ass out of there still is one of my favorite moments.

A pirate that basically had no business being there, deciding to willingly enter a marine war. Metaphorically laughing in the face of the fleet admiral, a man he doesn't know yet he shares fate with. Just because.

This concept makes me want to see Sengoku doing something similar.

The old man has no business leaving his retirement. But after hearing about the Swords pinch, with Garp high on their heels, and then the recent news about his insufferable grandson?

I wanna bet he hauls his Buddha behind out on the seas and returns the favor. With his shifted sense of justice (thanks to Cora-san) he would be more inclined to act on it. Especially if his family is involved.

The very thing he always reprimands Garp for when his spawns are wrecking havoc again (I count Coby into that).

So he goes out there and helps Law. Claiming "it's on a whim".

I want to see this turn of events repeated.

Furthering the narrative of unconditional love and blurring the lines more of "conventional behavior".

But most of all, I want to see them mending the wounds of the past and holding tight onto what they treasure.

I want them to break the circle of having to see their loved ones being ripped from their hands.

I want them to be able to step up, and reclaim their ground.

Garp, Coby, Law, Sengoku. And everyone dear to them.

Little yellow riding hood

When Shachi first spoke about a small figure in a yellow rain coat he sometimes sees on deck at night, the crew doesn't take him seriously. Even Bepo, Penguin and Law look at him sceptical, knowing the dork and his shenanigans. So as they don't surface that often, even Shachi banned that mystery to the back of his mind.

Still, he knows what he saw. And sure thing, the next time they decide to refill the air supply at night, Shachi finds himself alone, sulking on deck. The sky is clear, the air just perfect to indulge in the beautiful view. So under the light of uncountable twinkling stars he shares his troubles to the sound of gentle waves caressing the hull.

Although, after a while he can't shake the feeling he's being watched. And sure enough, after shifting his head a tad, he can see the elusive figure. Sitting calmly just mere feet away from him and listening to his worries. "you..?" Shachi is taken aback, the hooded phantom just nods, smiling. Shuffling nearer, it places a cool, tiny hand on the redhead's knee, almost soothingly. The other is offering something to him. It's a smooth, yellow pebble, similar to the ones they often found at the shore of Swallow Island. It's a touching gesture, a wave of nostalgia washing over him. "For me..?" The figure nods again, pointing at its own bright smile, just like for Shachi to mimic. A wobbly grin spreads over his features as he gives his thanks, and with a bell like laugh the yellow figure disappears in front of his eyes. It's right then it clicks. Who else would know about this and care enough? It has to be. The Polar Tang is a precious crew member too, after all.

And he'll treasure it. The sub, the pebble, his whole family.

After everything they've been through, Shachi is honored and so so grateful he got to see the spirit that day. He engraved that encounter into his soul. The pebble, he made into a necklace. So even after losing it all, the memory of the Polar Tang will never be forgotten. And as long as it does, the Klabautermann will keep on living as well. Even if Shachi is the only one aware, he continues to keep his family close with a smile. And sometimes, he swears he can hear that clear crisp laugh, waving over from far out the sea.
