I Direct You To The First Post??? I Wouldn't Argue That One Piece Isn't Inclusive, Especially In The

I direct you to the first post??? I wouldn't argue that one piece isn't inclusive, especially in the first 400 episodes!!! It's cool that there was that much diversity in a Japanese anime.

But that's kind of the thing right?

The FIRST 400 EPISODES were inclusive, because they had shades darker than pale. Everything post time skip is complete whitewashing. It's doesn't matter if usopp is "supposed" to be black when he is literaly the same shade as everyone else. And still has the big lip design.

Also, all of thier villans???? Being mostly black?????

Law being like one of the only other protags of color doesn't even count when you add in the fact that he's getting whitewashed too. They all are.

I would rethink some things here bud. Like, don't get me wrong, I REALLY like one piece! I'm in aces arc right now. But you have to be able to admit that there are flaws in the thing you love. Especially flaws that effect so many people and how people of color are viewed in media. That's what representation is! And it dam sure can be harmful.

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see

Alright sluts, I need some opinions.

I am currently writing a CrocMom au that has gone to far wild and completely out of my control. I have most of the plot surrounding Luffy and Crocodile's backstory and connection figured out, that's not the problem. What IS the problem is that Crocodile is to much of a whore. Crocodile has up to at least five potential love interests that I could throw at him (not including Dragon cause that has to happen for, y'know, conception.)

Buggy, Mihawk, Buggy & Mihawk, Dolflamingo, Shanks, Corozon ECT.

Now, I know some of those options might not make sense, but see, a writers mind is an unending fucking mine field of insanity, and I would be able to make those options work pretty well.

Buggy and Mihawk would most definitely make the most sense, as they are pretty canon in their interactions and I have been itching to write cross-guild anyways.

Shanks? Knowing that Crocodile created basically his kid and also could kill him at any time and is also hooking up with his two ex's? That man is already a skank and has probably dated at least half the one piece verse, this is not far fetched.

Dolflamingo? They are the ones with the most cannon interaction and could make for a very good psychological warfare/angsty fic, but also, Dolflomingo. So like, gross.

And the last and most crackship, rarepair shit I could ever think of. Cora and Crocodile. Now, in my fic, I start with Crocodile on Ohara to involve Olvia and Robin into his cannon universe (This is also trans!Crocodile, so he's a woman right now, but he transitions after Luffy's birth) and so I can give him an excuse to adopt Robin later when she's around like, 11.

So, you have a Crocodile that fits just snuggly enough into the timeline and does not have enough trauma yet (in my universe at the least) and who has already given birth to Luffy and is already slightly regretting leaving him and who has already adopted Robin. I think that there would be a really high possibility that Crocodile would meet Cora and be like "look at this sad, pathetic, wet-cat, clumsy single father. Would be a shame if someone was to just grab it.". Which would then inadvertently save Cora's life, especially if Crocodile helped get the heart fruit and then brought them back to Alabasta.

I also wanna clarify, I don't think Law would see Crocodile as a father figure. It took fuckin forever for him to trust Cora, and that was with sacrifices that spited both hell and high water. I think Crocodile would more be seen as a mentor, especially if Law would still want to get back at Dolflamingo. Cora might try to stop that. Cora would want what's best for his son.

Crocodile? Dramatic-time-to -murder-the second-strongest-pirate-of-all-time bitch? 100% would support.

Also, the possibility of Robin and Law shenanigans kind of gets my goat.

Plus, if you add in Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, it would be chaotic as fuck, and kind of amazing!

As you can tell, I am slightly leaning more to one of these options than the others (totally not just because I want to write a Cora lives au) and I think that Cora is one of the only One Piece men that Crocodile would genuinely consider sticking with because of the way he treats other people and his kids. The possibilities are fucking endless.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I would take anything into consideration and I have to decide before I write the Dragon/Revolutionary chapter.

The world problems of a one piece fic writer, man.

I think out of all the strawhats Zoro is the most mischaracterized. People talk about of the uwu Sanji that’s popualr with a portion of his fanbase and yes I believe that version of Sanji is cringe but at least it’s not a widely accepted version of him. It’s some niche sub genre of him. I can’t say the same for Zoro.

A large part of the fandom believe he’s Luffy’s cold hearted killing machine who doesn’t care about the Strawhats.

Every time I see someone say “Zoro would kill a crew member if Luffy asked him to.” I die inside.

These people really think Zoro would kill Chopper if Luffy asked him to 💀. That’s his son. Also Zoro would leave the crew straight up. He’s the main protector of the strawhats. I understand Zoro is not as complex as someone like Sanji or Nami but i think he isn’t as simple as Luffy’s lapdog. He’s his most loyal crewmate for sure but that’s because Luffy proves to Zoro that’s he’s the type of man he could follow. Zoro holds Luffy to a high standard. If he ever fails Zoro expectations he would just leave.

If Usopp rejoining the crew without apologizing was enough to make Zoro consider leaving then why do people think he would be okay with Luffy telling him to kill the family he vowed to protect with his life. It doesn’t add up.

People always back this claim up with something Oda allegedly said in an SBS years ago but I don’t believe it and even if it was true I wouldn’t take it seriously. This is the same guy that said Zoro would be a police officer in a modern au. Yeah the guy whose first appearance was being a victim of the corruption of the marines.

Stop lying on my mans name. I think what we should be pushing more is the fact that if Luffy told Zoro to suck his cock he would. Who’s with me on that one?

I'm slightly convinced that the one piece fandom invented the phrase 'gilf'... there's a few to many of them...
