The part I replayed most was the transition from sabo, to kidd, to law, to coby, to vivi and then bonney.
I love the juxtaposition of the joyful atmosphere among the straw hats and others elsewhere going through their life changing experiences. The darkness in the sabo frame transitions to coby under the bright sky chasing the sunlight; Vivi escaping mariejeoise to secure the world's future transitions to bonney discovering kuma's buried past. Everyone has their eyes forward, the losses were huge but the hope isn't lost yet.
The op world seems larger now that an opening featured the side characters' happenings. The lyric of this scene says the rest: "With us, the world continues changing."
These goobers are so silly to me || credit for the luffy chibi and his design to my buddy @booburt
ok so like what ive been thinking for this au is luffy is still kinda a pirate who wrecks ships from underwater and robs them and one of those ships is alvidas, who has been keeping this little fishman boy as a slave. he is NOT vibing with that so he beats the shit out of her. koby tells him how he wants to be a marine both to help people and to bring humans and fishmen closer together, lucky for him luffys (heavily human passing think like old lady kokoro) grandpa is high in the marines and has been really salty about wanting a marine sucsessor. thats how koby joins the navy and luffy keeps on ship wrecking (maybe collecting a human crew who he sets sail with) i feel like he would be freakishly good at manovering at land somehow
Koby doesn't really have a specific species, though one of my friends looked at him an screamed shark
Luffy is a Koi fish (the calico cats of water)
As always Asks are welcomed
This Au totally wasn't spawned by me making a bad joke about koby and luffy finding out luffy has seahorse Fishman blood somewhere in his family tree because he got pregnant…
