many thoughts

@kaizokugaris ❤️'d for a thing.

　　　❝ do you... think your crew moved the ship? ❞

　rosinante would hesitate to call his decision to tag along with zoro a 'mistake'; any opportunity to get to know law's comrades & crewmatesーthe people that were there for him all these years when he couldn't beーwould always be worth the effort to him. they were important to law, so they were important to rosinante in return.

but he would be lying if he didn't admit this excursionーthis seemingly easy route, from the sunny, to the blacksmith's, back to the sunnyーwas taking far longer than he ever thought it would. did they pass this street already? that sign? wait, he doesn't recognize this alleywayーhonestly, they seemed to be getting further & further from the port, but he wasn't at a high even vantage point to be able to tell.

　　❝ maybe that's why you're having trouble finding it? should i ask someone for a transponder so we can call strawhat or law? ❞

two drafts left, time to add more.

❤️ for a thing.

　❝  huhーoh, this? this is what i call, uh... 'just another thursday'. ❞

　the donquixote had tucked himself away in the corner of the polar tang's operating theater, having just finished rifling through a cabinet of medical supplies. his boiler suit was unzipped and hanging off his waist while his eyes flittered back & forth between a mirror on the wall and a nasty patch of raw, red skin on his right shoulder blade, doing his best to wrap it with gauze despite the awkward angle. ❝ i just lost my balance and leaned on a steam pipe, that's all. ❞

his tone was unsettlingly cavalier for such an injuryーnow, at least. but it was only because rosinante had used his calm calm fruit to scream & curse to his heart's content for a good five minutes first before composing himself enough to work on treating it. just another burn to add to the list, he supposed.

　❝ more scars to add to my back. no big deal, i'm just... clumsy.  ❞

send me questions you have about my character!

anything and everything. favorites. thoughts on people, on events. what they would do in a certain situation. how things would be different if something had/hadn’t happened. simple questions, complex questions. have at it!

Can't find the art atm BUT it was this really sweet au where Rosi survived and joined the heart pirates. Do you have any thoughts on how he'd interact with the crew, his place on the ship or actions/feelings during Wano and Egghead?

one thing i know for a fact immediately without even having to think about it is that he would adore bepo. sweet little guy? a bit anxious? a hugger? oh, he'd fold faster than law.

he even likes plums! in the light novel about law, he offers some to law (who proceeds to throw an actual fit about how much he hates them, but that's besides the point). rosinante will eat plums with you any day, bepo.

also, because rosinante's last wish before his 'death' was quite literally to give law his life & his freedom back, i know he'd feel indebted to all of the hearts just for being there for him (not just assisting him in battle, but just being there for him as friends & helping him achieve goals) but especially the founding members like bepo, shachi & penguin.

especially them because, going back to the light novel, they're the first people he meets after his escape, and the the first people law decides to put rosinante's 'will' of support & kindness for the people who need it most into practice. he becomes the person that shows them that there are good people in the world, just like rosinante was for law.

he'd make a real effort to ensure he knew all their names, their roles, basic facts about them allーif they're law's friends, then he wants to know everything.

the way i imagine it, post-minion rosinante has no interest in being in a combat situation if he can avoid it.

he'll protect people if he has to; he still the muscle memory of melee training ingrained in him from all those years in the marines, after retiring he makes a living partially from hunting so he's still a fantastic shot, he keeps himself fit because hauling farm equipment all day does that to youーbut it's different now. he's older (not to say thirty nine is old but, with his chronic pain, he may as well be forty nine) and he just wants some peace & quiet.

law's also been a pirate for sixteen years by the point they'd reunite in dressrosa, so rosinante knows he can handle himself whether he's there or not. he might come with him to wano, but it's also just as likely for him to pack all the hearts a nice little bento box with extra snacks and go "have fun overturning a tyrannical government, you crazy kids."

uh... if he doesn't go with him, though, winner island definitely makes him regret that decision.
