[seratlantisite]

Usopp: w. Zoro. What do you mean your father was killed by pirates. Zoro: Did i really never tell you guys? Usopp: nO! Sanji: I THINK WE'D REMEMBER THAT Luffy: I remember! Zoro: See? He remembers Sanji: STFU YOU NEVER TOLD US! Luffy: Sure he did! We were up in the crows nest on the merry! He talked about his family and I told you guys about my brothers Sanji: your WHATS Robin: Captain I think that may have just been the two of you. Merry's crows nest was pretty small. Luffy: Oh. Huh... Usopp: i can't believe you told Luffy but not... actually nope never mind that absolutely tracks i do believe it. Nami: I think I'm finally going insane thanks guys.

#one piece #incorrect quotes #in that they never actually said this cos i made it up #listen zoro is both a closed book and very forgetful #but this is such a significant fact about the worlds most loyal pirate vice captain its HILARIOUS it just. does not come up #roronoa zoro #roronoa arashi #sure why not

[leoandreeda]

My designs on how I imagine Zoro's parents looked and were like: Roronoa Arashi and Tera.

If Ushimaru has blue hair, it makes sense that Furiko (Zoro's grandmother) also had it that color. Therefore, Arashi would also have blue hair but maybe less indigo;

And tera, well, a yellowish green/greenish yellow

Mixing both colors, we get Zoro's.

To be honest, I don't like all the Tera designs where they draw her being exactly like Zoro. It's like- Zoro looks like his grandma's side of the family, which means that his features are like his DAD's, not like his mother. I think his personality is mainly from her mom's side though. She was a bandit and Zoro is kinda like "whatever I want, I take it".

Headcanons of how their relationship was:

• Kozaburo, Furiko and other wanted samurais get to a new island that's being controlled by bandits. They help and defeat them. Stablish themselves on the island.

• Furiko falls in love with a swordsman and have Arashi.

• Their personalities are very different. He's calm and focused and she seems to be angry and stressed all the time.

• Arashi and Tera meet and clash a lot also because Arashi's family defeated her family.

• Against all odds, they fall in love eventually and have Zoro.

• Arashi dies fighting pirates as he's helping defend the island. Tera takes care of Zoro until she falls sick and dies.

• Zoro starts roaming and surviving alone, having to fight even adults. Finds the dojo. The rest is story.

So, i decided give you a sneak pesk frol their first meeting

About the love story of Tera ans Arashi

(@alexoreality , @aenbyveryverygayperson , @botankirishima )

A young woman with chin-length green hair was cutting some meat in the kitchen of a bar, her ears paying attention at all times to the side conversations of customers.

"My Calla Lily we are out of drink"

"You'll have to wait guys, we're still out of alcohol" she comes out of the kitchen with a tray of snacks

"Still?"

"I can't do anything, Misha has already gone to the port to get it" she jokes, serving the fried food while laughing along with the drunks at the bar.

Back in the kitchen, Tera continues to prepare snacks in order to distract the customers who are starting to get stressed due to the lack of drinks.

"This way" she hears a male voice coming from the back and is relieved to know that the drink has finally arrived….until she hears the sound of boxes falling.

With the knife still in hand, Tera quickly goes to the storage room at the back of the bar, there she finds a young man with dark blue hair, tall and strong wearing simple clothes...a sword on his waist while holding a box...a box of meat lying on the floor.

Tera tries to pass by to get a better look but her path is blocked by the boy.

"Look, I…"

"Are you going to let me pass or not?" She says pointing the knife and the boy takes a step back, dropping the box that was in her hands. For a moment, Tera feels the sheath of the sword touch her leg, pushing her away just in time before a bottle falls from the box and the glass scatters across the floor.

"I won't pay for this"

"Pay? This what?"

"Booze and meat, idiot"

"Oh"

Tera looks around and takes a deep breath, the barrios are intact and the bottles only break twice and apparently the meat box only opened

"Are you going to help me or are you going to stand there like a cornflower?"

"Sorry" and he immediately bends down to help pick up the product that fell on the floor

"You're not Misha"

"I'm Arashi, I came on the ship that transported these products, Misha went to sign some papers and asked me to bring them" Arashi says closing the box

Tera looks again at the sword at his waist, it would probably be worth some good berries but she decided not to bring up the subject for now...

"You're going to leave or what?" Tera tells Arashi that he opens his mouth to speak but is interrupted by a scream coming from inside

"TERA, DDM FOR YOU"

"Get lost" She says pointing the kitchen knife at him one last time before sulking inside.

As Arashi leaves, he takes one last look at the girl before resting his hand on the hilt of his sword and walking away, a cut made by the glass on his shin.

[hylianane]

Actually I think Zoro’s lineage should be even more normal. If you thought Arashi was a badass pirate just because he died fighting one you are wrong. He was a rice farmer who, upon seeing pirates raiding his village, thought it’d be a good idea to run at those armed criminals with a garden rake. And he was wrong.

#The only cool one was Tera and she died of single one piece mom disease sorry Zoro #one piece #roronoa zoro #roronoa arashi #sbs 105 #also shoutout to Zoro’s mom being named earth and Sanji’s being named sky. That’s kinda cute of them

[the-frizzle-fry]

Here we go y’all. Oda finally dropped it.

So. Zoro’s dad n mom were Roronoa Arashi and Tera (a criminals daughter) who both died.

Arashi was born to his parents Shimotsuki Furiko and Roronoa Pinzoro.

Shimotsuki Furiko is the older sister of Shimotsuki Ushimaru.

So Ushimaru is Zoro’s great uncle.

It also stated that Ushimaru is a descendant of Ryuma so that means Zoro is too!!

Side note: This information has no effect on the story. So there is no reason to go into a flashback about it all. Zoro’s parents died when he was young and his grandparents probably did too. Kinda pisses me off that people are complaining that Zoro didn’t get a backstory when he did. And I t shaped who he is now. Oda also didn’t include it because of time. That’s why he only showed Zoro interacting with grandpa Kouz, that’s all that mattered.

Edit: That’s probably how Tashigi came about. Only 10 of the 25 stayed in Shimotsuki Village. One of those other 15 must have been related to Grampa Kouz or he had another kid that left the village and that’s why Kuina and Tashigi look so alike.

[wifeofkatakuri]

I haven’t thought about the Roronoa family in while so I’m gonna share what I think they looked like. Don’t be surprised if I reblog this with some sketches don’t except anything tho.

Furiko probably looks like Tashigi with her hair down and without glasses maybe her hair is a little bluer.

Judging from the silhouette Pinzoro probably looked like that time Oda drew Zoro at 40 maybe his hair was brown or something.

Arashi was likely just Zoro with a different hair color.

I’ve mentioned before that I think Tera had green hair but I’d like to take that a step further, she looked like a female Zoro.

Op men as dads

IM NOT DEAD! I've been working on requests and also doing school so I havent had much time to post much recently but I thought I'd drop this little treat for you all while I work.

(I was inspired ✨️)

Sanji, zoro, luffy, usopp, ace

Warnings: talk of pregnancy, talk of labor, talk of neglect, talk of anxiety, talk of premature baby's, talk of premature side effects.

Masterlist

Sanji- twin daughters

Girl dad to the extreme

Okay okay so let's start off when you were pregnant

He was incredibly doting, literally wouldn't let you lift a finger for anything

Tons of research on safe foods for pregnancy and also learning how to properly make baby food

When the girls were born it was the first time sanji discovered that feeling of such a need to protect them

They were so tiny and had his blonde hair and blue eyes

Either gives them zeffs last name or yours

Their names? Éclaire (or Claire for short) Sora and Suzette Rei

Very much princess standard

Spoils them as much a humanly possible

When they grow up he teaches them all the stuff he knows how to cook and actually begins making a cookbook soley so his girls can have it when they are adults

Claire tends to be the flirter one out of the twins often making sanji chase off all sorts of boys and men from his princess

Suzette tends be more withdrawn. She prefers to stick to the kitchen helping her dad anywhere she can

Both of them are huge daddies girls

Zoro- triplets, two boys one girl

Zoro through most of the pregnancy was calm and collected.

Another one who refused to let you do anything without his hand on your hip

He did the pregnant belly lift for you all the time

All shit goes down when you actually give birth

Zoro had been expecting one baby but when two more popped out he panicked

Absolutely wants to train them personally

Their names? Shogi Korushiro Roronoa, Menko Arashi Roronoa, and his daughter Karuta kumia Roronoa

Shogi is the eldest of the triplets and even though it's only by a few minutes he really takes being the eldest sibling seriously. He looks over his siblings and trains the most so he can protect them and be as great as his dad one day

Menko tends to be the lazy one. Menko can and will take a nap everywhere and anywhere he can. Sanji once found him sleeping in kitchen cabinet on a bag of rice.

Karuta feels the need to stay on her brothers level. She takes her training even more seriously than shogi does. Zoro is more than pleased to train her but even he worries about her over doing it to keep up.

The triplets also see chopper almost as a older brother

Zoro decided if he was to pass away ever each of the triplets would get one of his swords.

Luffy- two sons

Lord.

During your pregnancy it was really confusing for luffy about around the time you started showing he began to realize

He is constantly lettering Sabo filling him in and asking questions

Luffy became more protective of you when you were pregnant literally barked at someone for getting too close once

When you go into labor he is right by your side.

After you gave birth to your first son, Monkey D Ace luffy was suprised at how small he was.

Luffy was surprisingly gentle but that didn't change much of his childish ways

The baby would scream sometimes just because luffy would scream back (there's this video of twins who yell to figure out if the other is near, kinda like that)

When you got pregnant the second time when ace was around age two luffy understood it a lot more.

He did his best to not stress you with the baby and this time it went a lot smoother.

He knew what to expect in the delivery room the second time when your second son, Monkey D Ademir, came into the world

Ace tends be rambunctious, running into trouble much like his father with a similar appetite, but he also knows the weight of his name and so he holds it with pride

Ademir is similar to his brother and father, but he also tends to be far more brutally honest than ace.

Both boys tend to lean towards you though. Surprisingly, they tend to listen to you more than their father although it's a shocking sight when luffy is actually telling them to do something

Usopp- premature boy

Anxiety ten times higher than normal

When you found out you were pregnant usopp used his anxious energy to start making things

Baby clothes? Got it. Crib? Got it. Toys? Got it. With the help of Franky converted a large storage closet into a baby room.

Imagine his panic when the baby room wasn't even half done when you went into labor.

The labor was brutal on both you and usopp. But eventually his son, Shinji took in his first breaths.

For the first few months of life the crew fussed over shinji constantly due to his prematurely he had a hard time breathing and needed far more cuddling than a normal baby.

Usopp would stay up all night just making sure his son was breathing after he had read a book that said children born premature could pass away easily

Shinji pulled through. And unfortunately became the most brutally honest person anyone had ever met. He gave luffy a run for his money about not being able to tell a lie

Shinji would run and tell you all about the acts his father wasn't supposed to get up to even small ones like sneaking a extra treat after dinner.

Even so usopp coddled his son constantly

When shinji took a interest in art and carving usopp nearly cried because they had a shared interest.

Becoming a father made usopp realize how truly messed up what his own father did was.

Usopp understood having his own goal while being a parent would make it harder but he would never abandon his son or you to achevie them. He'd prefer to achieve them with you by his side.

Ace- daughter

Ace panicked when he found out you were growing his child inside of you.

The ship was on fire type of panic

Ran you straight to Marco who checked you out and congratulated you when he confirmed the pregnancy.

Ace similarly to luffy was incredibly protective.

You were never out of his sight and if you were he had someone checking on you hourly.

His coddling was almost suffocating.

When you went into labor, more fires had to be put out on the ship.

Marco nearly had to remove ace from the room because he was freaking out more than you were.

The one time ace settled down was when his newborn daughter nuzzled her face against his warm chest, Rouge D Portgas named after his mother.

Rouge lived up to her name, she frequently made the ship panic because no one could find her only to find her snuggled up in between some barrels.

Ace sworn the night Rouge was born he would never let her go through the things he did as a child.

Ace was a amazing father often having her up on his shoulders and would cry with her when she had to go get her shots or got scrapes.

Spoilers ahead

When ace died Rouge went into Marco's care. The only thing she had left of her father was his hat which she wears constantly.

Although Rouge goes through a similar thing of being bullied for her father she is prideful of his father and who he was.

Spoilers over

Overall ace tries to be the best dad he can be.

[yana125]

Something something Zoro's father died fighting against pirates.

Something something Oda foreshadowed Sanji's backstory back at Jaya.

Something something Zoro was drawn in a similar way back at Zou.

Something something the East Blue had one pirate everyone feared...

...who was fighting dirty and used poison.

I'm not saying the pirate Roronoa Arashi died fighting against was Don Krieg who only "won" because he poisoned Arashi or something but who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Theory expanded in the reblog)

[foxydivaxx]

Idol Zoro headcanon

-So I was wondering what sort of artiste Zoro would be. I have already decided that Sanji would be Britney with traces of Beyoncé, Eren would be Christina. Ezreal would be like Justin Bieber. I decided to make Zoro like Usher with elements of Jay-Z. I initially envisioned him as just a rapper but after watching a YouTube video with Mackenyu singing and hitting dem falsettos, I thought that Zoro would be a sexy RnB singer

- Loads of songs about sex. Not shocking considering who his lover is though Sanji beats him in that department

- His parents are Japanese immigrants

- He was bullied as a kid thanks to his mixed heritage

- His father was married before and had three kids Kuina, Johnny and Yosaku. He is close to his half siblings

- He is the youngest in the Roronoa household which explains why he is so spoiled at times

- He hated his dad Arashi for being a toxic, abusive father

- He and his mum Tera had a rocky relationship due to his wild antics. Still she spoiled her son rotten. Also she was not that present in Zoro’s life which made him resent her for years

- Like Zoro got into trouble when he was younger because it was that difficult to tame him. He got up to all kinds of mischief and would openly flirt with boys but would sleep with none of them

- He met Griffith when he was 13 and lost his virginity to him. Their relationship was toxic and Griffith abused him to the point where Zoro snapped and they got into a violent fight at a club which got them both arrested. Zoro was a movie star by this point

- Arashi would re-enter his life a changed man by this point and his conversation with him changed Zoro and tamed him completely and also made him the cold hearted manipulative King that he currently is

- Zoro was in Gear V for a while before leaving to do his own thing

- Despite the ups and downs, his relationship with Sanji is considered a blessing for both of them

- He went solo the year after the Griffith incident and that was the best thing to happen to him

- He struggled with his sexuality and had an identity crisis til he met Sanji

- He had a mental breakdown after Griffith came back into his life to wreck havoc that Sanji stepped up and destroyed Griffith on his behalf

- His drinking habits are quite legendary

- He has a massive male fanbase for obvious reasons

- As he gets older and gets more muscular, fanboys drool over him

- Don’t be fooled by his cool looks, he can be quite a sexy tease and is as wild as Sanji when he is in a good mood

- He meditates a lot

- He and Sanji are both very competitive and often surprise each other with their various music projects

- When it comes to making love to Sanji, he no longer holds back. Yes he is that wild in bed. God forbid if he is drunk that day

- He rivals Sanji in the Best Ass in the world department. Yup he too got a famous butt that everyone loves

- He is a bit of a pervert especially around Sanji xD

- He eats a lot though Luffy is far worse

- His in-universe nicknames are King Bee, Z (Gossip Girl refers to him as that), King Z, Mr Controversy (because of his dark and murky past that continues to haunt him), Marimo (only Sanji is allowed to call him that), Zee Zee (Sukuna calls him this affectionately every once in a while)

- He has a weakness for fiesty blondes *coughs* Sanji *coughs*

[that-green-haired-swordsman]

Honestly my brain was racing yesterday after seeing the reveal of Zoro‘s bloodline. Instead of making Zoro‘s lineage to the Shimotsuki clan the subject during the actual Wano arc, Oda decided to reveal zoro‘s linkage to the Shimotsukis only in the SBS 105, but you would assume that a character like Zoro, who is immensely popular among the fans would get a proper reveal or arc like many other of the straw hat pirates. But instead, Oda handles this subject of Zoro‘s bloodline like he handled so many other questions he received during all those years. It‘s not that Zoro being related to the Shimotsuki clan is such a big surprise, right? Oda has been dropping hints left and right, and it’s also common knowledge that Ryuma was kind of like Oda’s first ever created character in the One Piece universe (iirc) who was basically the model for the Zoro character. Of course it's a bit wild to just relate everything samurai to Zoro, but that just underlines that Zoro is being a part of the samurai order and closely related to it.

What we don't know is how old the question about his family actually is, we also don’t know why Oda or his editorial team decided to answer this question by the time they did. I like to think that all of this timing happened for a reason bc Zoro being a Shimotsuki descendant isn’t the big surprise here - it's his mother that causes some questions. Oda revealed that his mother was the daughter of a criminal. It would be interesting to know if we've already seen her father, if we will ever get to know him and if this criminal is important to the story.

As for his father Roronoa Arashi, what Oda told us that he also was a swordsman and maybe he inspired Zoro to be a swordsman as well. Why Arashi would be involved with fighting against pirates is another interesting subject. It kind of serves my personal headcanon I’ve been having for years that Zoro became a pirate hunter because his family was attacked and / or killed by pirates. (I wonder what happened to Arashi’s sword after he died?) It would also fit to my headcanon in terms of Zoro’s motif to become stronger, as we’ve seen him practically storming into the Dojo of Shimotsuki village, yelling „who wants to fight me?“ and then challenging the other combatants. Becoming stronger has been Zoro‘s main motivation since he was a child and I’ve always been wondering why that is, assuming it must have something to do with his parents or their destinies/ fate. My headcanon was that he was present when his parents got attacked by said pirates, but he was too small and too weak to do something against them and could only hide and witness how his parents were killed and so he decided two hunt pirates to avenge his parents, and because he hasn’t been strong enough to protect his parents or his mother, it became his ultimate goal to become the strongest person known to man so he would never lose someone because of his personal weakness ever again.

Would also be interesting to know when his parents died, how old he was. What his relationship was to them. What happened to him after his parents died. Where he has been grown up. If he had to provide for his own. Or if he had a place to go to. I always assumed that Koushiro was kind of a father figure to Zoro in his early years just as Mihawk probably was when Zoro stranded on Kuraigana Island.

Zoro being of Shimotsuki heritage probably won‘t be revealed during the actual One Piece manga, and I’m not even sure how Zoro would find out about this as he has left Wano without anyone recognizing him, of course, and none of the citizens could have provided him with this information. The only other person around I can imagine to have knowledge about Zoro‘s lineage with the Shimotsuki clan would be Shimotsuki Koushiro, whose father was the brother of Zoro‘s grandmother if I’m correct? Which would result in Koushiro being Zoro’s great uncle and Kuina his second cousin?? (wow) If Koushiro knows about Zoro’s heritage, there has to be a reason why he (or Zoro’s parents) never informed Zoro about this since Zoro seems to be completely unaware of this, which Oda confirms. You would assume that the Shimotsukis would be closely connected to each other and know the families of one another. But Zoro not only seems to be unaware of being partly a Shimotsuki, he also seems to be unaware that he is distantly related to both Koushiro and of course Kuina.

Probably the most interesting reveal about the Zorro lineage is Kuina‘s mother who Oda didn’t even tell us her name. My guess is that either she plays a bigger role in the future or is simply unimportant enough that Oda couldn’t even be bothered to think of a name for her. 🙈

Personally, I would like to prefer if Tashigi was not Shimotsuki as well, but given that there are still like 15 Shimotsukis who left Shimotsuki village and went somewhere else, I do consider it to be a possibility. Plus she’s a swordswoman. I would prefer that they wouldn’t be related as well, not only for shipping reasons (😅) but given her resemblance to Kuina, I’m practically waiting for that reveal. It would be nice for Zoro though if he would meet another member of his family (even if distant) since he's one of the straw hat pirates with no close or distant relatives or adopted family at all. (except for Koushiro) As for the other Shimotsukis on Wano, we can’t safely assume that they’re related with Zoro. I’m also not sure how those clans work, if sharing a clan name means that everyone is related in some way or if they’re not and just sharing the clan’s name?

So far, Zoro‘s theme is all about loneliness and that he had to care for himself and to live on his own, that he doesn’t want to form bonds with anyone out of fear of losing them, it‘s what he's used to and who he is and how he decided to live like after losing Kuina, until he met Luffy and the others in the „found family“ way that he did, but personally I like the idea that Zoro found this new new family with the Straw Hat pirates and therefore wouldn't be alone any more, no matter how the crew will proceed endgame. Like „So far away, but always close“. I do think, though, that there has to be a reason why Zoro and Tashigi run into each other when they do, and I’d like to think that it‘s some kind of destiny (also Zoro’s theme) we don't know about yet that connects them and that they are unaware of as of now, a connection that is going to unfold as the story goes on and we are closer to reach the final arc. I plan to make another post on Zoro‘s and Tashi‘s relationship and their connection, just wanted to add my two cents to the Zoro bloodline being revealed, hoping it’s not toooo confusing lol.

I have to admit that I’m kind of salty that Oda chose to tell us about Zoro’s family in an SBS instead of doing it in the actual storyline, because this way we will never get to see Zoro‘s reaction to everything of it, we will never hear him talk about his parents and how he had to live as a child (or will he?), although personally I’m convinced that it’s nothing he would ever talk about on screen, not even to his friends from the mugiwara pirates and I‘m not even sure if any of them, not even Luffy, knows about Kuina and the promise he made to her. I can imagine that Zoro dodges each personal question and there’s not willing to talk about his past, either because of trauma that he has not been able to solve or because he doesn’t want people to be worried about him. That way, Zoro will remain the mysterious person he's always been, I guess it’s just Oda’s move to show us that it’s not important where he came from or what he has been through, it’s important where he is now and where he is going to be.

Doesn’t exactly help my personal feeling that the reveal of zoro‘s lineage does kind of feel cast aside in order to reveal this for the sake of it being revealed at all. I think also that Oda doesn't have neither the time nor the opportunity to introduce Zoro‘s family via the storyline, but he still wanted to share this information so I guess giving us Zoro’s origin family via SBS is better they're not giving it us at all (why did it take you so long though Oda why). Maybe Oda’s only intend just was to show us that Zoro absolutely has no idea of his Shimotsuki lineage. Doesn’t change that he was and ever will be a Roronoa, not carrying or passing on the Shimotsuki name. Also RIP to my headcanon that he had a fake name to hide his true lineage and the name Roronoa Zoro was just made up lol (which he didn’t know about either)

Also Pinzoro. WHAT A NAME

One Piece SBS Vol 105 Thoughts

The spoilers have been flowing out for SBS 105, and with it a bunch more info to digest. So let's talk about some key points.

Spoilers for the SBS (which also has Wano spoilers)

Starting with the big one:

Zoro's bloodline

I see a lot of people upset or mad that Zoro's family tree was put in an SBS, but honestly I don't think it matters. The Wano chapters were already pretty blatant about the fact that Zoro is a descendant of Ryuma and there's more to his likeness to Ushimaru than the prior SBS confirming that he's not his dad. All you really get from the SBS is the bits in the middle; Ushimaru is his great uncle, his sister Furiko married a swordsman around Shimotsuki village, Roronoa Pinzoro, who bore Zoro's father, Roronoa Arashi. Arashi died fighting pirates, but interestingly married a 'Tera', a Bandit's daughter, who died of illness.

Honestly though, I think there's still more to it. The fact that Zoro didn't initially grow up in Shimotsuki village must mean that his mother resided somewhere else, was Zoro a bandit kid? Is his maternal grandfather still alive? What pirates did Arashi die fighting against? There still feels like there's some stuff less obvious Oda could potentially unpack.

Side Note: Tashigi Reminder to people that this does not confirm that Tashigi is a Shimotsuki either, despite some people's efforts to spin it that way. Yes 25 people left Wano and only 10 founded Shimotsuki village (which was already a village but renamed) but that does not mean they were all Shimotsuki, Miyatomo the craftsman was also a part of that group after all, plus there will be people in service of the clan (like Orochi was to Yasuie, even though he wasn't a Shimotsuki). In addition, it's worth noting that the village was established by defeating bandits, some simply may not have made it out alive. Overall her former likeness to Kuina may be something, but it also may not, nothing about her is confirmed yet.

Chopper vs SMILEs

So while many were disappointed to hear that there was nothing Chopper could do to fix the people suffering from the defective SMILEs, it always made sense to me. For one, the after-effect is not a disease or virus, so it doesn't quite undo his goal (people just expect Chopper's goal to be completed in Wano when it's convenient?). Secondly, SMILEs are fake Devil Fruits, so people are really expecting Chopper to undo a Devil Fruit effect? That's a bit much.

I feel like people expected too much from this because of how easily Chopper could counter Queen's Plague Rounds, but even this was beyond his capability.

Kurozumi Tama

I mean, this was obvious right? She has purple hair, how many other characters in Wano have the same hair colour as Orochi? The key thing though was Oda clarifying the also-obvious matter of Hiyori's parting words to Orochi being specifically for Orochi himself. Tama is a Kurozumi, but she isn't going to be subjected to the same harassment, especially since she partook in defeating Orochi and Kaido too, plus she has an army of SMILE users at her disposal and also the only ones who really know she's a Kurozumi would be Hitetsu/Sukiyaki (who was fine about raising her) and herself, and she would have the wherewithal to keep it to herself anyway.

Others

On the less unpackable side of things there was art of Yamato as an Oiran to satiate the thirst traps, of course in this case Yamato probably wouldn't be identifying as Oden if he was an Oiran.

Green Bull and Black Horse (the criminal investigation guy) had their design inspirations revealed, they are indeed very accurate.

And Oda very expertly danced around Sanji's eyebrows changing due to the Raid Suit effects, so there will probably be more to Sanji's biology to look into later.

Post-Reverse Mountain crew know some of what happened during the sagas before they joined, by asking those who were there if they were willing to tell, which makes sense, not too necessary but it also explains why Franky and Robin didn't know about Laboon in Thriller Bark.

Also alongside Sora, Warrior of the Sea, Oda revealed that the other popular picture books are; 'Fire Dog' (A dog on fire), 'Pokeemon' (maybe Pokémon hinted but image is more Doraemon), Monkey Ball (Dragon Ball, has a monkey with an axe flying the nimbus), and 'Marco-San' (which is just a girl, I was half expecting just Marco or a Pineapple, dunno the reference).

straw hats ethnicity/birthplace/nationality headcanons

just a foreword. these are just my personal interpretations of these characters. also to define the difference between the three:

ethnicity is basically your heritage. (eg. mixed hispanic/black/white)

birthplace is just what it sounds like. country you are born in. does not necessarily indicate ethnicity. if I have a specific place in mind beyond the country i'll specify but it'll usually just be the country

nationality is the country or culture that you publicly associate with in this case. not always your birthplace.

excellent let's get into it then

Monkey D. Luffy

Canon Origin: Foosha Village, Goa Kingdom (East Blue) Oda's Pick: Brazil

Ethnicity: Latino Birthplace: Brazil Nationality: Brazilian

Other Notes: these headcanons were based on an SBS where Oda assigned nationalities to the straw hats, but very little detail was given beyond a location for each member. Luffy's chosen country of origin was Brazil, which I feel is a great fit for him, and I wouldn't change anything about it.

Roronoa Zoro

Canon Origin: Shimotsuki Village (East Blue) Oda's Pick: Japan

Ethnicity: Mixed (Hispanic-East Asian) Birthplace: Mexico Nationality: Japanese

Other Notes: Zoro was born in Mexico, but ended up in Japan through currently unknown means at a very, very young age. It's there that he ended up finding the Isshin Dojo and met Koushirou and his daughter, Kuina. It's unknown who his family is or if they're even still alive, much like in canon. He also has little to no memories of his early childhood due to the young age at which he ended up in Japan, nor any particular personal connection to his Mexican heritage due to this lack of memories.

EDIT IN LIGHT OF SBS VOL 105: After the Shimotsuki clan had settled in Japan, Roronoa Arashi, the son of Shimotsuki Furiko and Roronora Pinzoro, set off to Mexico to have adventures there, and instead met a woman there named Terra, and together, the two had the bouncing baby blade-loving moss ball who we all know and love.

That being said, while the circumstances of how exactly Zoro ended up in Shimotsuki Village again is unknown (it's thought that perhaps he crawled onto a departing boat as a toddler, but no one can be sure), perhaps it was fate that drew him back to the land of his father...

Nami

Canon Origin: Oykot Kingdom (East Blue) Oda's Pick: Sweden

Ethnicity: Gaelic Birthplace: Ireland Nationality: Indonesian

Other Notes: A lot (but not all) of the nationality picks are based on the geography of their hometown compared to real-life locations, and apparently Cocoyashi Village is based on the Bali town of Ubud.

I don't really see Nami as Swedish tbh. I think she's more Irish. I think it's mostly because she has red hair instead of blonde.

Usopp

Canon Origin: Syrup Village, Gecko Islands (East Blue) Oda's Pick: Africa (no specific nation given)

Ethnicity: Biracial (Black/White) Birthplace: England Nationality: English-Jamaican

Other Notes: first things first he was done SO dirty by Oda. hopefully this is a better interpretation. as such it's gonna be the longest entry here by far

Syrup Village highly resembles an archetypal rural English village, so it would make sense for it to just be in England's countryside.

Banchina was an Englishwoman who had lived there her entire life, and Yasopp is a Jamaican sailor who briefly settled down there before he left to become part of the Red-Hair Pirates.

Usopp considers himself both English and Jamaican, and takes great pride in being both, usually conveyed by his love of the Going Merry and fond memories of Kaya and the Usopp Pirates, and his immense respect for his father and his dreams of being a legendary warrior of the sea, although he has relatively little knowledge about Jamaica beyond his memories of his father due to lacking the proper resources to research it. He normally speaks with a country English accent, but as Sogeking, he speaks in a fake Jamaican accent pieced together from his memories of Yasopp, as his father is a source of both great pride and internal strength for him.

A year into the timeskip, Usopp left the Boin Archipelago after getting strong enough to and learning how to use the Pop Greens, and visited Jamaica for the remainder of it, mostly to finally learn about his heritage and his father's homeland straight from the source. By the time he returns to the Sabaody Archipelago, two years after being separated from everyone by Bartholomew Kuma, he now speaks in a genuine Jamaican accent, following his post-timeskip theme of truly becoming the tales he told, like Sogeking.

Sanji

Canon Origin: Germa Kingdom (North Blue) Oda's Pick: France

Ethnicity: White Birthplace: Sealand Nationality: French

Other Notes: when you think about it, Germa is basically Sealand if Sealand was much bigger and recognized as a country because the only family there was a military superpower. I do not feel comfortable drawing any other parallels to Germa here for obvious reasons. anyways Sanji ran away and ended up on a cruise ship's kitchen before being attacked by the Cook Pirates, a powerful pirate crew from French waters, and then ending up on a barren rock with the crew's captain, Zeff. They survived the horrible ordeal of starvation, and he then took in Sanji as his own son and raised him on the Baratie.

Because Sanji is believed to be dead by the Vinsmokes, he is no longer legally considered a Sealander, and as such, he quite proudly considers himself French, like his mentor and father figure, Zeff.

Tony Tony Chopper

Canon Origin: Sakura Kingdom (Grand Line) Oda's Pick: Canada

Ethnicity: Indigenous Canadian Birthplace: Canada Nationality: Canadian

Other Notes: I didn't really change much from Oda's original suggestion bc i think Chopper being from Canada is already pretty fitting. I did specify that he is Indigenous here bc reindeer are native to North America. Also, he reminds me of my best friend who is also Indigenous Canadian, so that definitely played a part as well. : >

Nefertari Vivi

Canon Origin: Alburna, Arabasta Kingdom (Grand Line) Oda's Pick: Not Listed

Ethnicity: Arabic Birthplace: Baghdad, Iraq Nationality: Iraqi

Other Notes: Vivi is and will always be part of the Straw Hat Pirates, even if it will likely never be made publicly known for the sake of her country. If she ever desires to sail with them again, they'll all be more than happy to take her aboard once more.

Arabasta is based on a wide variety of places in and around the Arabian peninsula, but Alburna, where Vivi is from, appears to be based specifically on Baghdad.

Nico Robin

Canon Origin: Ohara (West Blue) Oda's Pick: Russia

Ethnicity: Biracial (Black/Hispanic) Birthplace: Alexandria, Egypt Nationality: Mexican

Other Notes: While Ohara is indeed based on typical rural English villages, like Foosha and Syrup, it being the famous center of a hub of knowledge and being known for a subsequent horrific destruction mirrors the famous tale of Egypt's Library of Alexandria. As such, I think of Robin as being Egyptian with Mexican heritage.

Robin was born to to Nico Olvia, an Egyptian scholar, and an unnamed scholar from Mexico who met her while they were both working on the same archeological project. After Alexandria's destruction, Robin journeyed to Mexico to get into contact with her father, only to learn he had already been killed by the World Government for his connection to Olvia. She then lived in Mexico for a while, bouncing from place to place, before eventually getting acquainted with pirates and ending up working for Crocodile, and eventually, following the events of Arabasta, becoming part of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Franky

Canon Origin: South Blue Oda's Pick: USA

Ethnicity: Mixed [White/Hispanic/Black] Birthplace: Santa Monica, USA Nationality: Italian

Other Notes: SUUUUUPERRRRR! Much like most of these entries, Oda's choice country is still present here in some way. Many of his most well-known character traits, such as his love of burgers and cola, bombastic personality, fondness of surf culture, and engineering talent link him heavily to the USA, particularly the U.S. state of California, which is famous for its beaches, technological innovation, and legendary film industry.

The Italian nationality is obvious, as Water 7 is heavily based on the Italian city of Venezia, with its gorgeous architecture and signature canals. While he does act like an American, he evidently loves Water 7 and considers it his true home, as it's where he really grew up as part of Tom's Workers.

there's no special reasoning behind making him mixed beyond that i'm also mixed and I think it's fun to add little bits of myself into characters I enjoy and respect. His parents were American pirates operating out of Santa Monica, and during a business trip to Italy, they abandoned him at Water 7. Oh well!

California Boys, No. 1 SUPER guys~! Cola, Steel, our ships are UNREAL~!

Brook

Canon Origin: West Blue Oda's Pick: Austria

Ethnicity: Black Birthplace: Salzburg, Austria-Hungary Nationality: Austrian

Other Notes: i think it would be funny if Brook went "hey let's go visit my home town! i sure do hope nothing weird has happened in the 50 years i've been gone!" and then learned his home country was shattered into a bunch of other countries while he was dead that's the entire reason i chose austria-hungary over just austria btw

also everyone jokes that brook must personally know Mozart because he's so old, unaware that Brook was literally also born in Salzburg, albeit about a decade after Mozart had already died.

Jinbei

Canon Origin: Fish-Man Island, Ryugu Kingom (Grand Line) Oda's Pick: India

Ethnicity: Polynesian Birthplace: Kingdom of Hawai'i Nationality: Hawaiian

Other Notes: Apparently a lot of people also feel that Jinbei is also from the Pacific, which is neat to know. As a whale-shark fishman, it would make sense for him to live there, after all!

(This blog does not recognize American ownership of Hawai'i as legitimate, and as such, I refer to it as a sovereign nation, rather than part of the United States.)

I don't really have any other notes to give since Jinbei is the only straw hat I haven't met yet at the time of writing, as I'm only about to start Impel Down and he hasn't been introduced yet. I'll flesh this page out a bit more as I learn more about him later on.

Thanks for listening!

(as I progress through the story, i might do one for the warlords once i learn more about one piece's worldbuilding! keep your eyes peeled for that)

Zoro's family tree

Okey. Después de todo lo sucedido con el Árbol genealógico de Zoro, ha sido un tema muy controversial, opuestos, desacuerdos, ofensas  y opiniones validadas y positivas. A mi me parece que está bien saber acerca de este personaje, que es el 2 personaje más valioso en One Piece, -según las encuestas a nivel mundial-. 

Pero el caso, es que, lo que he visto que ha sido más controversial, es el tema del linaje de Zoro y su relacion con Kuina. 

No se si las personas son ignorantes, pero Oda, creó dos arbol genealógicos, para explicar el linaje de Zoro, tuvo que comenzar con el abuelo de Kuina. Un personaje, que ya había presentado en la historia. 

En ningún lugar, Oda afirma que Zoro y Kuina son Parientes, la única conexión que pone Oda con Zoro y Kuina es su espada, WADO. 

Además, por tener el apellido Shimotsuki tanto la abuela de Zoro y el abuelo de Kuina, no lo hacen parientes. Ese apellido ha existido desde hace 400 o 900 años. Es como si todos los que se apellidan Rodriguez, solo por tener el apellido Rodriguez sean primos o parientes. 

Oda no confirma, que Zoro y el linaje de Kuina esten conectados, el recalca, que Zoro es descendiente de Ushimaru Shimotsuki y Ryuma Shimotsuki, no que es sobrino y primo de Kuina y su sensei, Koshirou. 

El linaje de Roronoa Zoro es:

Descendiente de Shimotsuki Ryuma

Hermano de su abuela tío: Shimotsuki Ushimaru

Abuela de Zoro: Shimotsuki Furiko

El abuelo de Zoro: Roronoa Pinzoro

Madre de Zoro: Tera

Padre de Zoro: Roronoa Arashi

Y finalmente, Roronoa Zoro. 

Está bien, en sí, esta información, es sorprendente, que Oda haya elegido exponerla de esta manera... es algo inesperado, pero, en realidad como él mismo lo afirmó en el último párrafo, “es algo extraño y misterioso que el propio Zoro aún desconoce”. 

No creo que Zoro pase toda su vida sin saber quien o quienes fueron sus antepasados. 

Aún falta saber el pasado de Tashigi, que en mi opinión, está relacionado con Kuina. Prima/hermana, prima/lejana, hermana o simplemente parientes. Pero como dije con antelación, Zoro y Kuina no son parientes, no son primos. 

Y Algo, que me pareció curioso, es que la silueta de la Mama de Zoro tiene un parecido a Tashigi y su nuevo peinado.
