There is a One Piece panel in recent memory that was so shocking that I'm still reeling at the implications of it.
This one:
I cannot fully express or explain how much the image of "Vegapunk, Kuma, Bonney, Kizaru, and Sentomaru doing the Nika dance" shook me to my very core. Specifically Borsolino doing it. Prior to that very chapter, Borsolino had gotten a lot of supposed development in the Egghead arc, but it was hard to tell whether he was being serious or sarcastic.
But then Luffy hit him with the Star Gun and he still maintained the same expression, even while on the ground down for the count by his own admission, and I realized he was totally serious the whole time. He just has an "unbreakable chillax face".
Chapter 1,100 made me realize that Kizaru genuinely thinks of Vegapunk and Sentomaru as found family, and Kuma and Bonney as dear friends, and nothing hurt him more than being assigned to this mission. Everything he's been saying the whole time about not wanting to do this was true and from the heart.
And then we saw him do the Nika dance, and I'm still processing it. The implications of a Marine Admiral doing the dance of Sun God Nika, Warrior of Liberation are truly staggering to me. Even if he doesn't know the full details, even if Kuma didn't tell him, doing the Nika dance feels like a sign that you've got the Nika spirit.
We met Kizaru on Sabaody Archipelago hunting down the Straw Hats as punishment for punching a Celestial Dragon in a slave auction house. Slaves. The Admiral who did the Nika dance defended a World Noble's right to own slaves. Hell, in this arc, he FOUGHT Luffy in Gear 5!
I truly don't know what to expect from Kizaru going forward, but this arc has fully taken him from my least favorite Admiral (I just found him kinda boring), to my favorite (barely surpassing Kuzan).
the idea of giancarlo esposito being typecast for live action one piece as the first serious threat that the characters face up against, who straight-up manages to separate the straw hats and traumatize the shit out of luffy. he asks what his character’s name is. it’s borsolino
these are just off the top of my head so i'm sorry i didn't write more. im pretty sporadic with writing these he he 🥲
Sakazuki being the serious man he is, would not be one to play around during sex. he would be very to the point but not leaving out necessary foreplay. he'd be attentive to your needs and usually would not be a selfish lover. Sakazuki would enjoy the moments after sex, making sure to rest a bit before the two of you begin to clean yourself up.
he'd find little enjoyment in teasing you unless there was a good reason. perhaps you decided to play a very intimate game of footsies during an important dinner or you decided to let your hands roam too far below the belt. Sakazuki wouldn't be too happy about your behavior. that night he'd tease the hell out of you, continuously bringing you to the edge just to pull away. maybe if you beg and apologize good enough he'd finally let you cum.
Sakazuki is a brute force and that trait does not change when he's in the bedroom. he loves using his hulking size to his advantage, wether he's pinning you down or fixing your body into a position that would make wrecking you so much more enjoyable.
Although he loves dominating you, he can't find it within himself to actually hurt you. There is something about you that he just wants to protect, he wouldn't want to see genuine fear from you or to watch you break beneath him.
Sakazuki is not a man to cheat. If there were another party in any sexual encounter, he would seek your explicit permission. You are something quite precious to him and he wouldn't want to betray you.
If you were to suggest having a threesome it would have to be with someone he directly approves of. Borsolino would be the first to come to mind if you were to ask him who he would be fine with when it comes to something of that nature.
can’t get over the fact that they made a debonair old hollywood wool suit borsolino hat silver fox cigarette gin and tonic john wayne neo-noir protagonist and an amoral undead tattered radioactive zombie cannibal loner drunk tom waits cowboy gunslinger assassin out of the SAME GUY i’m climbing the walls
In this scenario, much like how Haki is some found on the Line and the New World but unheard of unless introduced in the Blues, Flames are the opposite being something native to the Four Blues but unheard of unless taught on the Line and in the New World. Of the Four Emperor's of the Sea only Whitebeard and Shanks have knowledge of Flames due to learning from Ace and Shanks learning from Makino, Roger forgot to teach anyone other than his Core/Guardians. The North Blue was home to the vast majority of Flames of the Sky users while The South Blue was dominated by Flames of the Earth users, both the East and West Blues were melting pots with Islands of populations of both Flame Branches.
The one who brought attention to Flames to the Marines would end up being Garp, who also explained about how it would be impossible to eradicate knowledge of Flames from the Blues without utterly destroying the Blues themselves and even then there would still be survivors living on the Line. Garp has overheard his superiors at the time talking about how Flames could be a threat to the Peace of the World Government and how they needed to Contain them, none of his superiors were willing to condone losing their main recruiting populations. So, instead, the World Government censored any and all things related to Flames in the media while having Garp along with a few other train up their own flame users.
By the time of Luffy's generation Flames were a common thing for both Marines and Pirates in the Blues to have a de ent understand of, Marines from Garp's teaching and the Pirates from turncoat Marines with basic knowledge of Flames knowledge. Both Luffy and his two brothers in all bit blood were Flame active, this made Garp want the three in Marines even more as despite his teachings mostly the rank and file, barring Kuzan, are the most knowledgeable of Flames. The issue occurred when Sakazuki encountered a Pirate with a mastery of their Earth Flames and threw Garp's Handbook of Flames into the sea, claiming anything tainted by Pirates was a threat to Absolute Justice while Borsolino never read the Handbook as he kept putting it off. As such, only one of the Three Admirals was well versed in Flames, and it was only Kuzan the Rainy Sky.
Portugas D. Ace possessed Earth Flame, which turned out to be another thing he inherited from his mother as opposed to Roger, who was a Pure Sky. Sabo of Goa was a Sky with no imperfections, which would lead to Sabo's future successes in his youth and in the future. Luffy had flames, but they were neither Earth nor Sky, neither brother cared, and life went on. Years passed, Sabo set off to sea only to run across a World noble where he would be "killed" and Ace would set off at the age of Seventeen for the sake of finding what he was missing and adventure. Thus, Luffy would be left to his own devices to train and find out more about his Mystery Flames. It would be two years after Ace set out on his own journey that Luffy too would leave, to become King of the Pirates.
If you read my previous Katekyo Hitmab Revorn idea, then you have an idea what Luffy has at his fingertips.
Partner Pregnancy + Daughter Dating Headcanons (Admirals)
Anon: Can you do a headcanon were kizaru, akainu, fujitora and aokiji founout that there S/O is pregnant with there daughter, then years later they founout there daughter is dating
(Also i like your writings and sorry if this is too much)
Sakazuki:
First off, Sakazuki will only have a child when he is married. There is just no way in hell he will get someone pregnant. He is way too cautious about things like this so he will be married and probably has already been married for a couple of years.
It will only happen when both of them are ready and when it’s planned. So, he won’t be surprised when his partner tells him that they’re pregnant. He will nod as a way that he understood but won’t show any emotions beyond that. This doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care. He is over the moon, so happy that he’ll become a father because, as said before, this pregnancy was probably planned so he wanted to become a father.
Wheatear it’s a boy or a girl, he doesn’t mind. He first thought that he’d prefer a boy, eventually planning for him to become a high ranking marine in the future but once he learns that it’s a girl his heart skips a beat.
She will be daddy’s little girl. He’ll be strict but she can get away with some things (not too many though, he has a reputation to uphold). She will be well-educated in many different fields and he will train her to become a fine marine.
When he finds out that his daughter is dating someone he will hunt that person down and if she (or his wife) doesn’t stop him, throw the bastard into Impel Down or straight out kill him. How dare this low-life date his daughter?! It will take a lot of convincing from eventually every side (Borsalino will also try and calm him down) to bring his temper under control.
He won’t be pleased with his daughter dating and he will never fully accept it (even if they get married) but he will keep his thoughts to himself. There will be a scowl on his face when he sees her partner and it will be intimidating but as long as they don’t screw with his daughter he will take a backseat (unwillingly).
Borsalino:
Borsalino will be overjoyed when finding out that his partner is pregnant. If it was planned or not doesn’t matter; he will accept it regardless. Plus, he is not the type of man who sleeps around so I think he and his partner will have been in a relationship for several years by then, even if they’re not married.
He will make sure his partner has everything they need but, to be honest, he will miss some of the doctor’s appointments just because he forgets. He is excited but he is still this absent-minded guy.
He prefers a girl over a boy and he is the happiest man alive when finding out his child is going to be a girl. He will talk to her through her partner’s belly, making baby noises and telling her embarrassing stories about her mother.
She will also be daddy’s little girl but far more spoiled and she will have her daddy under control. He will be far more lenient with her than Sakazuki with his daughter and she will cause at least some trouble throughout her childhood but nothing too major. Kizaru will give her a small warning but never mention it again.
He is not too pleased when he finds out that she is dating someone. Not because he thinks she’s too young or immature for it but because he is wary of anyone who might hurt her. He will invite her partner to their home and question them about everything. He won’t be happy if her partner happens to be a marine since he knows what this entails and he wishes for her to have a normal life and not fearing they might never come back.
If he has any concerns regarding her new partner he will tell her and make it clear that she should be careful but won’t do anything beyond it. He warned her but if she still ends up heartbroken, he will tell her “I’ve told you so.”. He will come to her with ice cream/ chocolate/ whisky and try to comfort her, not holding her mistake against her since she is entitled to do her own mistakes.
Kuzan:
First, he is a little bit reserved about becoming a father if it was an accident. He might even consider an abortion but will eventually let his partner make the decision. He will be there for his child but he wouldn’t be too hurt if they decided not to get the baby.
If, however, it was planned he will be overjoyed. You can’t really tell by his face but if you look closely you will see small gestures towards his pregnant partner that will make their life more comfortable. He will also bring baby clothes home from different places, first gender neutral but then ‘girly’ colors (Don’t hate me for saying this!) Pink is his go-to color but will also get some more crazy designs.
When his daughter is born he will ask to take time off from work to help his partner, taking care of their daughter and just be a great parent. Like his two previous colleagues she will be a daddy’s girl but not to the same degree as Borsolino’s daughter will be. I see him closer to Sakazuki but not as strict as him. He’s going to be in-between these two from his parenting style.
He will look his daughter’s new partner up and down and will seem intimidating at first. He slightly hopes he will scare them away though it’s not his main intention. He just wants to make sure that her partner knows that they shouldn’t mess with his daughter.
His daughter will also be highly trained so he’s not too concerned about her physical safety. He would hate to see her heartbroken however and would love to take her pain away though he knows it’s part of life. He will have a talk with her about her future, where she sees herself and her relationship and if she thinks this person could be the one. He just wants to make sure his daughter looks at it from different angles and not make any hasty decisions
Issho:
Like Sakazuki, he will most likely be married when finding out that he will become a father. He will cry and be so overjoyed that he has to sit down at first. He will pull his partner on his lap and ask for confirmation about the pregnancy over and over again, not quite believing his luck. No matter if it was planned or not he will be there and take care of his partner during their pregnancy.
He will go even further than Kuzan and not let her do anything anymore, making her relax and let her have the easiest pregnancy possible. He won’t will be happy no matter the sex and will spoil either one. When he finds out that it will eventually be a girl he will start crying again.
The third time he will cry will be during his daughter’s birth, holding her in his arms, sitting on his partner’s bed and thanking them, the doctor and every God he can think of for this small bundle of joy he’s holding in his arms. He’s just the cutest.
He will train his daughter to defend herself but will let her enjoy her childhood, not forcing anything on her. Out of the four Admirals he will probably have the ‘best’ parenting style since he will be the most understanding and most balanced. He will get angry/ disappointed with her if he has to but he will also give er a lot of room to improve and make her own mistakes.
When it comes to dating he won’t invite them with open arms but he will be as neutral as possible, not trying to be biased and give them a chance. Like Borsalino he will tell them if he smells something fishy but will eventually let her make her own mistakes. He usually is very trustworthy but when it comes to his daughter he will become more wary.
If his daughter feels certain about her partner he will open up to them more and more and he will be the best father-in-law you could wish for (if it comes to marriage). Honestly. He’s just so amazing as a father, father-in-law, grandfather, whatever! (I could go on and on but let’s stop here.)
