I didn't intend for this to be a full comic, which is why it just kinda ends. Sowwy

The way they literally adopted a child together is my roman empire

Zoro: alright guess I'm a father now

Ghost Cora AU where he’s actually been following Law around ever since he died but nobody has been able to see him, so all he’s able to do is watch Law get hurt and suffer in silence. UNTIL, miraculously, the battle of Dressrosa ends, and for some strange reason—through some supernatural bullshit or maybe just fate—one person is finally able to see him.

Law is sitting on the deck of the Yonta Maria watching everyone party when Luffy comes trotting over to him. And Luffy plops down beside him and says, “I’ve been meaning to ask, Torao, but who’s that really tall blonde guy with the funny makeup that’s been following you around?”

And Law’s just like

#Meanwhile Cora is absolutely THRILLED. LMAO #Eventually Zoro calls Perona over and since her devil fruit power deals with ghosts. She makes it so that Law can see Cora too #(And by some bs he’ll probably be brought back to life somehow idk) #One Piece #Trafalgar Law #Donquixote Rosinante #Cora #Corazon #Luffy #Law: Ha. Haha. #Law: You’re shitting me right. #Luffy: ??? What? No? #Cora: LAWWWWWW 😭😭😭 #Luffy: He’s crying your name this guy CLEARLY knows you Torao #Law; having a mental breakdown: Uh. Uh-huh??? #Shima speaks #Sorry I’m coping. I’m coping really hard rn #Actually. I feel like I was more upset about Cora’s death than Ace’s. WHICH LIKE.

Sanji and Usopp during The Sabaody Incident™ won't leave my mind.

Usopp standing in front of Sanji protectively because he is wounded and he can't fight, so Usopp will do it for him ("I'll do what you can't do").

There is just something about Sanji's expression when he realizes he might actually lose Usopp. This is my interpretation, at least. He is literally frightened.

Usopp helping Sanji stand up to run away. This is crucial for something I want to point out later: Sanji needs help to stand up. (Also, Brook disappears trying to protect them both and saying he will do anything to save them even if it costs him his life. I am feeling sick).

Sanji being self-sacrificing and blaming himself for not being able to protect them/act sooner is not new. But he does manage to gain the strength to fight when Usopp is the only one left with him and the possibility of losing him is even more real now.

The thing that I love the most about this is not Sanji sacrificing himself for Usopp, because he does that. He is like that. But Usopp not running away or moving in the slightest because he refuses to leave Sanji on his own.

Something I'd like to point out too is that Sanji actually touches Kuma before Usopp disappears. He tries to fight and protect him and Kuma could've easily sent Sanji to Momoiro Island right away, and yet Sanji was just sent flying far from the scene and forced to see Usopp disappear in front of him.

And I am not saying that "not being able to protect both Brook and Usopp (especially Usopp) is needed for Sanji to realize he has to become stronger and find more reasons to go back with the crew" but not being able to protect both Brook and Usopp (especially Usopp) is needed for Sanji to realize he has to become stronger and find more reasons to go back with the crew.

Not to mention that we can't deny (right after Water 7/Enies Lobby) that Usopp is one of Sanji's strongest bonds within the crew. This specific scene focusing on them both is more than enough to prove it.

Sanji seeing Usopp disappear in front of his eyes without being able to do anything to save him.

Remember what I said about Sanji needing help to stand up seconds ago? Well. This is him the moment Usopp disappears. What adrenaline and the power of love do to a mf.

They are so "I can lose everything, but not you. Oh God, not you" shaped.

#sorry for bringing up sabaody i am sure nobody wants to think about it #but they mean the world to me and there is SO MUCH to unpack #we don't talk enough about this i think ????? #sanji spending two whole years having nightmares about not being able to save usopp. about seeing usopp disappearing in front of him #he still has them btw #sanji having to sleep with usopp post-ts because he is afraid of waking up and seeing he is gone #also i am having thoughts about brook protecting them and #and brook saying he will do anything to save them #because sanji has only heard that from zeff so......... so just thinking. i have thoughts. i told you brook is one of sanji's father figure #back to sanuso- thinking about how this whole scene despite having brook too is mainly focused on both sanji and usopp #thinking abt how the others disappear mostly focusing only on luffy's reactions but this emphasizes a lot sanji's attempts to save usopp #why would you give them a whole scene i am throwing up #sorry still thinking abt sanji apologizing to usopp for not being able to protect him or #or having nightmares he definitely has nightmares about it #and usopp just. staying with him and making him see that he is alright now. and letting him cry. #early post-ts kills me #still angry we don't have almost post-ts sanuso #i might start crying thinking abt them so it'll be better if just shut up and post this #one piece #black leg sanji #usopp #sanuso #sabaody

A little art about a headcanon of mine for Dragon and Sabo, and a little fanfic about it under the cut

"Dragon-san," a familiar voice, Sabo's voice came knocking from the door of the cluttered office. Dragon perked up, putting down the pen he's writing with- just a follow up rough plan for the revolutionary's next strike.

The door was opened and there was Sabo with a bleeding arm. Instinctively, Dragon reached for the cabinet on his desk, pulling it open to grab for a roll of bandages and a bottle of antiseptic.

Sabo sat in front of Dragon, reaching out his roughed-up arm, his face not showing a trace of pain. (Dragon always knew the surges beneath his mask anyways.)

Dragon sighed as he saw the gnarly wound on Sabo's arm. The boy had a knack on being risky, sometimes even too keen on self sacrifice. Even though being a revolutionary always costed a price, Dragon couldn't help but worry about Sabo's knacks.

"I got a little reckless with my plans, " Sabo offered a little charming smile to Dragon (cut out the reprimands just this time?)

"I always told you to be careful. You're too good to lose, " Dragon said (again, Sabo?).

Sabo offered another cheeky smile, "Next time," he said, as if Dragon never feared for his name written on the list of fallen revolutionaries in a mission report.

When Sabo first arrived in Baltigo, still wrapped with bandages all over, not even able to move his wounded limbs freely, he would only turn to Dragon to replace his bandages, any nurses who tried to replace it would only make him flinch violently.

Dragon tapped a cotton smeared with antiseptic liquid on his arm, following it up with the roll of bandages. Soon, after falling into the familiar act of wrapping Sabo's wounds, Dragon couldn't resist the nostalgia that went flying right to his head.

But of course, they understood (despite being concerned) , that Sabo was a child, a child that had no one familiar except for Dragon in an unfamiliar, new building far far away from his home island.

When his burns healed, and when he finally got to trust the nurses, it still became a habit. He would knock on Dragon's door or tug at his coat, show his wounds, and Dragon would pull out his cabinet and fish out a bottle of antiseptic liquid and some bandages. And there it was, a repeating pattern of tapping a cotton smeared with the antiseptic against Sabo's wounds and wrapping it up with soft bandages.

Dragon always thought of it as a comforting habit.

It was not rare that he would receive reports about his fallen men, people that had died for his own cause. And being here, bandaging Sabo, feeling the warmth of his skin, reminded Dragon that his Chief of Staff, his son, was still here, still alive. Still able to go knock on Dragon's office and offer a smile and a wound.

Sabo's small hiss of pain suddenly brought Dragon abruptly out of his daze. He softened his pace and grip, finishing wrapping Sabo's arm with tying the end, cutting the excess bandage with a small pair of scissors.

"Thank you, Dragon-san, " Sabo smiled, softly.

Dragon couldn't resist reaching his hand out and ruffling Sabo's hair, "Be careful next time," he warned.

Sabo's smile turned into a grin, "This time is just a slip up. "

Dragon couldn't help but smile back. Thin, but soft with fondness for his son sitting in front of him. He pulled his hand out of Sabo's locks of blonde and hope that tomorrow, his name wouldn't be written on the list of the fallen.

#phew that's a good writing warm up #a sweet headcanon i had #anyways dragon is sabo's father figure and i refuse to believe otherwise #btw fun fact when i wrote this my body was screaming at me DRINK WATER!!! 👉💧💧❗❗but i was so engrossed in writing this #that i actively ignored myself tying to keep myself alive #revolutionary sabo #one piece #one piece fanart #one piece art #one piece fanfiction #sabo headcanons #one piece headcanons #monkey d dragon #revolutionary dragon #op fanfic

[unhookingstarswithoutpermission]

okay but listen. one piece au where everything happens the same way, as in luffy sees zoro for the first time and decides right there. that’s his person. that’s his soulmate.

and like their journey through east blue is totally the same but. luffy has, legally, been adopted by shanks before garp sent him to dadan’s. so like, shanks is his legal guardian just as much as dadan is, but no one really knows how to find the mountain bandits hideout, right? but shanks has a huge ship and a huge crew and technically luffy is still a minor so like. garp’s after him, he calls him every other day to tell shanks to keep luffy under control and shanks just. refuses to go against luffy’s dream.

AND THEN. mihawk is also somehow zoro’s guardian (the whole debacle where zoro and perona were sent to his castle happened when they were kids because I say so) but zoro still spent years with kuina and wants to uphold her dream and if that means he has to fight his almost-dad then so be it. so he becomes a pirate hunter to get stronger and mihawk just lets him, because he’s not about to betray his almost-son’s dream. baratie happens and he has no idea this newcomer strawhat has shanks’ hat and zoro on his crew but he won’t refuse a challenge from zoro and he still strikes him down and then lets him go because he sees the growth in him, and he wants zoro to get even better.

and maybe mihawk sees the way zoro and luffy exist in the same space, the way they don’t have to talk to understand each other, the way luffy lets zoro run towards his dream even if it could mean he has to see him die right before his eyes.

and it reminds him of himself and shanks, because they had a thing when they were younger - before shanks was captain and before mihawk became a warlord - and the way zoro and luffy gravitate towards each other is just so similar to what they had, except. Except luffy and zoro’s dreams can live together, are living together, so mihawk sees what could have been between him and shanks if they were the right person at the right time, like their almost-sons are.

AND that’s why mihawk brings luffy’s bounty to shanks. that’s why he stops for a drink. that’s why he spends the whole night hearing complaints about how the rest of luffy’s family wants him to look after him, but really, luffy would never forgive shanks if he got in the way of his dreams. and mihawk, too, talks about how it was to know that he was standing in the way of his own son’s dream. and then, because they understand each other now in a way they didn’t when they were younger and together, mihawk talks about what the relationship zoro and luffy seem to have. how it resembles what they had, but better, because they aren’t fighting each other - they are working together.

and that opens up a whole new way of seeing stuff, for shanks. because it wasn’t the right time, when they were younger and had different goals and expectations, but maybe that doesn’t mean him and mihawk are doomed for the start. maybe they can have something, too, maybe it was just a matter of the context they were in, maybe they were the right person for each other all along.

zoro and luffy’s baby daughter is the loudest crier and screamer in the world due to trauma from being abandoned by her biological parents. when zoro and luffy are feeling so hopeless and tired for not knowing what to do, ace comes over to the thousand sunny to put his niece on his very warm chest and it instantly calms her down, only letting out a few sniffles. it makes ace laugh and he softly talks to her in a low, comforting tone while rocking her to sleep

#he’d say some teasing things to her like “you want to be just like your daddy huh? is that why you’re screaming so much?” #i one time saw a tiktok about how you should put babies on your warm chest when they’re crying or waking up too much #and i know ace would do that :’(((( 🩷 #ace is childfree with yamato in my alternate universe but babies love him and he’s his niece’s other father figure #talking about my ocs #one piece #one piece headcanons #one piece ace #one piece zoro #one piece luffy #portgas d. ace #portgas d ace #ace #roronoa zoro #zoro roronoa #zoro #monkey d. luffy #monkey d luffy #luffy #zolu #zolu headcanons #zoro x luffy #luffy x zoro

I think the funniest thing about Sanji’s character is that he already had a horribly traumatizing backstory when he was introduced, but then the story got to whole cake island and Oda decided this bitch needed ANOTHER ONE. ITS NOT EVEN LIKE “someone close to me died and that was it” TOO SANJI ALWAYS IS GOING THROUGH THE MOST ATROCIOUS SHIT

I know this is too good to be true but indulge me for a sec:

zoro and shanks having a blast by getting absolutely, shit-faced drunk on the day luffy becomes the king of pirates. they have a contest on who can drink more. i was rewatching the scene where mihawk visits shanks to tell him about luffy and shanks makes him drink up and my first thought was that damn he and zoro would get along well.

This is SO real. I love to imagine Zoro getting ready to meet Shanks and being a little bit nervous about it because that's the man his captain (boyfriend, because Zolu is canon in my little heart) admires so much. It's not that he wants to impress him or whatever, he doesn't care about that, but he wants to be worthy of being seen as Luffy's first mate in front of this man.

Then, he sees Shanks is a bit of a loser and he's just silly and they have a lot (a lot) of drinks together and they get along so well. Like, really. Shanks won't stop telling the crew stories about tiny kid Luffy and Zoro loves every second of it. Also, at some point, I'm sure Shanks does get a little bit serious and says Zoro is a good first mate for him and that he's sorry he has to deal with his shenanigans but he's sure at least it's fun, and Zoro couldn't agree more.

#zoro meets his father in law 2 now he only has to meet dragon #imagine being the boyfriend of a guy with so many father figures #they're both alcoholics i am sure they'll get along #one piece #red haired shanks #roronoa zoro #zolu

I'm not a parent, but can you imagine how psychotic Dragon would get if Sabo got hurt in his place. Like to some degree Sabo is worried that if Dragon were to die, the revolution would die with him, and Sabo was raised from a very young age to think of himself as expendable because of his parents, and that kind of thing can settle into the marrow of your bones and not go away no matter how much time passes. He would more than willingly stand in front of a brutal attack to defend Dragon, though Dragon is the last person in the world who'd ever need to be shielded. It's instinct for Sabo to protect, plus this is Luffy’s dad AND a member of the D clan. Dragon is important, Sabo isn't, so he'd happily take a hit in Dragon's stead. Queue his blood splattering across Dragon's face and Dragon just has a psychotic break because first of all he probably most definitely has ptsd, suddenly all he can see is Sabo crying against him because he can't open the gate to Grey Terminal, ten years old with half his face burned bloody and unconscious, and he just fucking snaps cuz that's not just a revolutionary or the chief of staff or his second in command that's his fucking kid and he's watched him grow up for the past twelve years, he can remember when Sabo barely reached his knee in height and now he's bleeding out because he, the child, was trying to protect Dragon, the parent. Nonono, that's not how this works and now Dragon has to commit homicide. "Would you kill for you child" he sure would! He knows Sabo can take care of himself but if he sees that blond brat fall in front of him he is going to descend to the lowest level of hell and bring whoever pulled the trigger with him.

#im listening to atlas falls by shinedown and the angst is getting to me #id just love to see dragon break someone in half #one piece #sabo #monkey d dragon #good dad dragon #nah but thinking of a child getting hurt for a parent makes me sick to my stomach the angst possibilities are 🤌 #my daddy issues culminate into a desire to see my favorite characters be protected by their father figures #its a bummer cuz my dad was never around for me but i feel better when i project good fathers onto my blorbos #those few pieces of art ive seen of dragon cradling a bloody unconscious sabo with a homicidal look on his face #yeah that clears my skin and water my crops
