Boa Hancock & Neferatari Vivi x female reader for women’s day!!

ik I’m late to women’s day guys!! But I’m still gonna participate! (Totally not an excuse to write for some of my fav op girls that I haven’t written much for yet)

Hancock x a fem reader would be like the ultimate alternative timeline to her not falling in love with luffy lol

let’s say your in the kuja pirates specifically,

that would make more sense as to how you got closer since your on the same crew and obviously get to interact with her more versus just fan girling in the crowd lolol 😂

just the same as luffy, she’d realized her love for you after getting worried for your safety and feeling ill (love sick 😀) mid expedition at the fact that you might be hurt

when everyone gets back to the boat she tried to unsuspectingly scope you out (tried because she was actually frantically searching for someone and wouldn’t say who as everyone panicked-) and as soon as she saw you she sighed in relief! But soon after, she started blushing and she felt a warm fuzzy feeling!

what was this? Is this what they call..? Love?!

it was such a joyous feeling..! She couldn’t believe she was feeling such intense emotions at your presence alone!

”Lady hebihime!! Are you all right?!”

”all right..!”

”right..!”

”right..”

Your words echoed over and over again in Hancock’s spinning head. You..we’re worrying for her?! Your so…kind!- So!- so!- your such a selfless woman!!

and yeah that’s pretty much how it went HAHAH

you can pretty much guess you’ll get special treatment from then on, she’s in love with you after all!! Naturally it’s her duty to protect her lover! 😊 (you haven’t even asked her out yet Hancock! - Glorisa)

she invites you into the palace and gives you the best food and treatment straight away!! Put your feet up dear! Are you hot? tired? Do you need water?? “Hurry up and bring the giant fans! My lover is hot!”

no pun intended even though you are 😉

“lover..? Lady hebihime..! May I ask what your talking about..😅”

”o-oh! W-well..I was just thinking…maybe…we could go on a date..?! ☺️😅”

“ME?? Hebihime!! I- I’m honored but what brought this about?! This is….strangely sudden, you know? Not trying to be rude!-”

”Hancock!”

”eh??- I mean!- hebihim-”

”Hancock!! Y-you..can call me Hancock..if you’d like!- I mean if you’d prefer to call me something else like a pet name, honey or dear m-maybe-…!”

”But!- hebihime-”

“-And to answer your question! What brought this about……I’m not sure myself…I have no idea actually, I found myself worrying about you and when I saw you again….When I saw you..! When I…..Kyaaa! 😍”

”Hancock!! Are you all right?! What happened!?

“ !!….You…! You!- You said my name!! This must be..! This must be!! What they call!- Engagement!~ 😍😍”

”huh?? 😀 hebihime?-“

“No! Go back! Don’t call me hebihime anymore!! We’re getting married next month so!- So call me by my name from now on! Okay honey?! 😍💗”

*mutters while being carried bridal style by Hancock* “I’m getting married…to the hebihime..😵‍💫💫”

and yes you actually did get married the next month :)

being the wife of the pirate empress is the liiiife 😎👍 you get whatever you want, whenever you want and however much you want of it!! Without a question! Your words are as absolute as sold gold on the island of women! Hancock will likely even ignore elder nyon/Glorisa for you <3

and yeah you can pretty much just imagine your dream life for the rest! Expect that to become your reality when married to Hancock bc even thanos snap can’t compare 🗿😭

Vivi is such an awesome girl - honorable mention okay? 😤👏

let’s say your not a straw hat tho :) just for funzies :3 imagine you’ve lived on alabasta just as long as she has and even infiltrated Baroque works with her. And also helped save alabasta!

best friends to lovers anyone?? Lesbian edition >:> 👩‍❤️‍👩 🧡🤍💖🏳️‍🌈

after it’s all said and done, and crocodile is defeated, you two say cya to the straw hats and you help Vivi rebuild her kingdom

somewhere during the time things start looking up as for alabasta’s cleanup, she confesses! Oops spoiler :}

“hey!!..I’ve been looking all over for you 😅”

“Oh hey Vivi! What is it?”

”oh nothing I just, well it’s not nothing…can we talk? Uh- you know..in private?”

”oh yeah sure! Come inside I was just cleaning up heheh, excuse the mess..”

“It’s nothing! Really, it’s fine no need to be so formal…we’re close, right?”

“Yeah :) what is it you wanted to talk about though? Is it something bad I’m nervous 😃”

”Oh! Nononono! Nothing bad nothing bad!-“

*sigh of relief* “hah, that’s good 😅”

*awkward yet adorable giggles come from both you and Vivi*

“well..what I wanted to talk about was…us, as in…who we are”

“Oh no Vivi don’t come out and tell me we’re aliens now we’ve barely finished cleaning up alabasta! 😭😂😂”

”what?? Hey! No! I-I’m trying to be serious here! 🤦‍♀️“

”OH! Oops 😄 go ahead go ahead!”

“I meant who we are as in, as a….relationship! Like- um..we’re friends right? Soo..if we could be……”

“Vivi..you mean..?”

”YEAH! 😭😅 I mean if- if we could be..more, if- if you want if not we can just stay friends-“

”No! I- hahah, I honestly never thought you’d ask, like- literally! I’ve kinda been waiting but you never did so is assumed-“

lots of awkward laughing and explaining of feelings ensue from there 💗(🏳️‍🌈😜)

actually being in a relationship with her includes training, yes training, because you never know what could happen. Just as crocodile happened and no one knew he would. So from now on she wants to be prepared, she refuses to be blindsided again—for the sake of her people!

she’s a cute mix of awkward, kind and a tad bit shy 💗 it’s like, she almost wouldn’t know how to act around you if you weren’t so close, but you are! So that makes things easier :)

she’s highly knowledgeable and I feel she’d have quiet a bit of hobbies. if you like to do similar things she’d love to partake in those activities with you! But if you have different interests, exploring each one as you teach her about them would be fun too! <3

Vivi is a literally princess, which means as her lover you get princess treatment! 😘 (all puns intended) She can afford it after all! Pell and Vivi’s father would adore you! You make Vivi so happy, how can they not?!

she talks about you more often than you know 🤫 “Dad!! Don’t tell her that!- it’s kind of embarrassing you know?!” oops Vivi heard him

well anyway 😊

Vivi is a very caring and protective lover as seen with Nami (when she stayed by her side the whole time she was ill). So of course that’s not any different when it comes to you, it’s highly likely Vivi knows first aid so if you get a minor injury? Be more careful!! 🩹❤️‍🩹💋 A major injury?! Hurry! Rush her to the royal hospital! Quickly! Giver her the best treatment! It’s okay, relax, she’s here 💖

Vivi will be with you through thick and thin and her loyalty is unwavering. She may not be the strongest banana in the bunch but she’ll certainly defend you with all she has if it comes down to it! 😤💪

Also!!! Can’t believe I haven’t mentioned this yet!!- Karoo!!!! Karoo loves you <33 Vivi thinks your bond is adorable, especially how Karoo always lets you ride on him :} you bring him snacks and drinks and he runs to you each time. If your tired of walking he’ll carry you without complaints as well so that’s a perk!

I feel the other spot billed ducks would love you as well! Karoo probably tells them how great you are 🤗 You might even like one of them enough to make them your duck! (I would, they seem cooler than a freezer 😎👍)

Okayyy~ lovely readers, followers and anyone new here..!

I hope you enjoyed these headcanons!!~

Forget Me (Part 5)

ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS.

I hate my internet for real.

Taglist : @letssayless , @audemarze

You were fully avoiding Hancock.

It's been a month since she fired you and not once did she ever see you again after she confronted you that night.

You've always been popular among the Kuja women but you became even moreso when the herbs that you've grown were so effective. Even Hancock herself has been drinking some of the tea that you've grown.

She sneaked around the night before but was so unsuccessful at even getting a glimpse of your face.

"It feels like she knows wherever I am." Hancock mumbles to herself in her office.

What she didn't know was that Sonia, Mari, Kikyo and even Margaret were all helping you avoid her.

Signals and codes. The four of them planned and did everything together in order to let you live without pain from the heartache.

You were humming to yourself as you take a walk in the forest. You were about to be pounced by a lion when you glare at it. It stops mid-air and quickly flees.

"Show more guts!" You call out and sigh. It's been a month since you've been in a fight and you were getting annoyed by it. Mari and Sonia can't even spar with you because they've been so busy.

"You seem frustrated." Before you knew it, you were actually at the place where Shakky were resting. You hum as you look at her and you realize who you were talking to.

"You must be Shakky! The previous Empress?" Shakky nods and you smile. "Can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Can you spar with me?"

Hancock was just resting when she felt it. Two hakis clashing with each other. She quickly goes to the window and she spots you grinning as you punch Shakky who was also smiling at you.

Before you and Shakky knew it, you were both on the castle's courtyard and was blowing the staff away with your sparring.

"You're strong, brat! I didn't know we raised warriors like you here!" Shakky pauses and you grin.

"I trained myself! Not here!"

"Oh?"

"I went to the island south of here!" You smile and Shakky laughs.

"A discoverer, are we? You'll have to tell me what you found." You nod and ready yourself again.

"After I win." Shakky chuckles at that.

"Brat!" Shakky lunges at you but both of you stop as Rayleigh holds out his palm to stop your momentum. Meanwhile, you couldn't stop even if you wanted to so you let him block your punch. Rayleigh's palm gets parried and Shakky grins.

"Stronger than you look." You pant as you slump to the ground, you arm tingling with pain. You gave that punch your all and it didn't even faze him.

"Strong? I didn't even faze him."

"Kid, you parried his hand away. You're doing much better than you think." Shakky ruffles your hair and you sigh. You try to stand up but you fail. Just as you were about to fall, Hancock catches you.

"Hancock! It's nice to see you." Hancock just glares at Shakky in return.

"Are you okay?" Hancock asks you softly and you just nod at her. "You! I told you not to step in here!" She says to Rayleigh who chuckles.

"I just wanted to check out who was giving Shakky a hard time. I thought it was either you or Elder Nyon. Didn't think it was actually-"

"My granddaughter." Gloriosa says as she steps forward. You were still leaning on Hancock's shoulder when Elder Nyon takes your hand and pulls you away. "Let's go home. I'll brew you some tea." Shakky and Rayleigh look at each other and begin to follow you. Hancock wanted to follow as well, wanting to make sure that Rayleigh actually-

Rayleigh and Shakky might take you away. It's a huge possibility. It's also a huge possibility that you might accept. That made Hancock flinch and follow you home as well.

Gloriosa unceremoniously pushes you onto the sofa and you grunt in pain as you completely miss the sofa.

"Elder Nyon!" Hancock reprimands and helps you sit right on the sofa. Shakky and Rayleigh sits around them.

"Wait there. I'll brew some tea." Silence envelopes the living room as Hancock waits for you to recover.

"Did you know about backlash, brat?" Shakky asks and you grunt in answer. "Why didn't you hold back then?" You groan at that. Truthfully, you were going to hold back but it just seemed so lame to hold back against someone like Shakky.

"Seems like she did it because it's you." You hum as you regain movement in your hand.

"That stings." You say as you try to move your arm next.

"Don't move it then. Jeez." Hancock worriedly massages your arm and as much as you want to avoid her touch, the massage is actually helping you.

"Here." Elder Nyon serves tea then glares at Hancock. "Stop being touchy with Y/N."

"What- she needs this! It's backlash."

"Move over then. I'll be the one to do it."

"No. I'm already here."

"Please stop fighting." You sigh as you let Haki flow into your body. In an instant, the pain and numbness in your arm disappears. You stare at it in amazement. "Huh." Rayleigh laughs at that.

"Did you just discover how to let Haki flow in your body?" You nod at him and he chuckles. "And that's your reaction?"

"Am I supposed to go whoo and yay?" You sip your tea and sigh in relief.

"You just discovered a higher level of Armament, brat." Shakky says and hums as she sips the tea. "This is good."

"Thanks. I grew those leaves. And so what? It's a great thing. Doesn't mean I need to be praised for it." Rayleigh hums.

"You're an interesting kid. Why don-"

"No!" Hancock slams the table then glares at Rayleigh. "If you think I'm giving away my best friend then you got another thing coming, Rayleigh!"

"Not anymore." You say and Hancock freezes. "You're just The Empress, remember?" You look at Rayleigh. "I have to refuse as well. I like protecting my people, you see."

"Fair enough." Rayleigh concedes. Hancock trembles and you ignore her hurt expression.

"Can I at least buy some of this tea before we go then?" Shakky asks and you smile at her.

"For you? It's on me."

You were yawning as you get inside the house and you notice that Hancock is still on the sofa.

"Was that letter a lie?" You stop at that question and look at her. She was looking at you with teary eyes.

"No. I just wanted to find a job before I hung out with you. Unlike before where I have to be with you all day, if I found another job, it meant that we could hang out like normal friends." Hancock looks at you with hope in her eyes. "But you went ahead and did that." You sigh and she trembles. "You can see yourself out. I'm going to sleep."

You leave Hancock alone with her thoughts and quickly plop down on your bed.

"I'm such a fucking liar." You say and groan. You knew that what ou said was the best possible outcome for her but it would be the worst one for you.

Feeling hurt while praying for her happiness. Making sure that your feelings are bottled up. You didn't want to feel like that anymore.

"How the hell am I supposed to get over her?"

You wake up with a heavy feeling. You couldn't breathe normally. You groan and try to push the heavy item on your chest but it wouldn't budge.

"What the fuck-" You open your eyes and quickly jump from your bed. "HANCOCK!?" Said woman rubs her eyes and smiles at you.

"Good morning." She softly says and you glare at her.

"What the hell are you doing in my bed!?" You shout at her and she flinches at you. "Why are you-" Before you knew it the tears just fall down your face as you look at her.

Why does she do this to you? Is this fun for her?

"Do you hate me that much?" You sob. "Do you despise me? What the hell, Hancock? I told you! I'm wishing for your happiness!" You try to wipe away the tears but they just keep flowing. "Do you have to rub it in my face that you won't ever look at me that way?" You hiccup. "I get it, okay? You won't ever like me. That's why I keep staying away! That's why I avoid you! To not cry anymore! To not feel this fucking pain that just consumes me!" You sob. "Why can't you just leave me alone? Why do you always have to be close?" Before Hancock knows it her body moved faster than her head. The instinct to not let you cry, to protect you and love you is just ingrained in her. She hugs you but you push her away. "FUCK-" Before you could finish, Hancock's lips were on yours effectively shutting you up. Your eyes widen and Hancock takes that in stride as she deepens the kiss. You push her and she looks at you with a blush on her face. You feel your heart beat faster and try to run away but Hancock was fast this time, she anticipated that you would run away, and grabs your leg. You plop down on the ground face first and groan from the pain.

"Don't go." You hear from behind your ear so you turn around and sure enough, Hancock is straddling your waist. Hancock holds you down as she cries.

"What-"

"When I first saw Luffy, I thought it was love."

"What-"

"Then when you were gone, I just keep thinking about you everyday. Were you eating? Sleeping well?" She trembles. "Are you safe?" She buries herself on your chest and sobs. "I never thought of Luffy again. I visited him last week but you know what my heart didn't do? It didn't beat faster. I thought it was because he didn't do anything romantic but then I realize when it did beat faster. Whenever I'm with you, my heart feels so at ease. And when I caught you yesterday, I confirmed it." She looks into your eyes. "What I felt for Luffy was infatuation. I admires his determination and drive. I was just in love for you so long that I never realized it was that." Your eyes get teary at that. "I remember now why I engraved our names. Why I made that promise wit-"

"Stop. Please." You try to free yourself. "I'm not strong enough. I'm not good enoug-"

"You are." You groan at that.

"I'm not." Hancock puts her forehead on yours and you can't help but blush.

"You are." She says so softly that you can't help the tears. "You parried Rayleigh. You fought equally with Shakky. You are strong, my love." You pause for a minute then look at her.

"Am I dreaming?" Hancock smiles at you.

"No. I'm telling the truth. I'm so sorry that it took this long to realize." You hum at her.

"I'm mad at you." You say and Hancock smiles.

"I know."

"Like so mad, okay?" Hancock nods.

"Yeah, I know. I'll make it up to you." You glare at her.

"You better start now." Hancock smiles as she leans in.

"Got it." Hancock kisses you and you reciprocate this time.

You go out your room and see Elder Nyon sipping her tea peacefully. You were about to greet her when Hancock brushes past you.

"Good morning, grandmother!" She says with stars in her eyes and you groan as you facepalm.

"What-"

"I officially started dating Y/N-"

"You never asked me though?" Hancock pauses and she looks at you with teary eyes. "What? I'm telling the truth." You shrug as you sit besides Elder Nyon and eat a piece of toast.

"Oh. So she assumed, huh-"

"What- we kissed!"

"You still didn't ask me." You say as a matter of fact and Hancock grumbles as she sits on your lap.

"Fine! Do you- um-" Hancock blushes as she can't get the words out. You just raise an eyebrow at her as you sip your tea. It really is good. "Would you please-" Hancock stops again and she leans on your shoulder. "This is hard." You hum as Elder Nyon gives you a piece of toast.

"Continue." Hancock pulls back a little and glares at you. You deadpan at her. "I'm still mad at you. A couple of kisses won't change that." Hancock becomes flustered at that and she takes a deep breath.

"Wouldyoupleasegooutwithme!" She says in one go and you raise an eyebrow at Elder Nyon as if asking 'Did you understand?' Elder Nyon shakes her head and just nudges you.

"Sure." Hancock beams at you and you look away from her. You calm yourself down as your heart keeps beating faster.

You really need to put up defenses against her.

Against your girlfriend.

You blush at the thought.

Damn it.

You stretch your limbs as you leave your house. You were going to take care of your herbs and plants when you suddenly feel arms around your waist and a head on your shoulder.

"Hancock?" You ask and the woman in question just hums. "What are you doing?"

"I'm making up for lost time. You avoided me for two months at least, you know?" You just know that she's pouting right now.

"Who's fault do you think that is?" Hancock stiffens and you chuckle as you release yourself. "Go to the castle and do your job. I'll come by during lunch."

"And cook? I miss your cooking." You look at her pleading eyes and sigh.

"Fine. Okay, I'll cook." Hancock kisses your cheek then quickly goes to the castle to do her job.

"What an idiot." You mumble with a blush on your face.

As you promised Hancock, you were inside the castle with two lunch boxes for the two of you to eat together.

You were about to go to her office when you hear your name being called out.

"Y/N!" The next second, you were hugged by Hancock and it makes you blush as she unintentionally (Or was it intentional, you weren't sure) pulls your head into her chest.

"Hancock!" You quickly pull away and look away in order to calm yourself down. You just know that you're red as a tomato right now.

"Y/N! You're here!" Sonia and Mari beams at you and you grin at them.

"Yeah. Oh and I brought you guys something." You get a pouch from your pocket and toss it to them. "The promised seeds. Oh and-" You get a note from your pocket as well. "Here's how to take care of them." You give them the note and smile.

"Thank you, Y/N! We'll be leaving sis in your care then!"

"Yeah, I got her!" The two sisters excitedly leave you and Hancock alone.

"What was that?" Hancock pouts as she clings to your arm.

"Are you seriously jealous of your sisters? Mari and Sonia? My best friends?" You raise an eyebrow at her and she glares at you.

"I'm your best friend too!" You roll your eyes then pull her in to kiss her.

"Yes, you are. But you're the only one I will kiss." You drag her to her office as she blushes.

"You better." She mumbles.

You were reading a book while Hancock was reading over reports when the door to her office suddenly opens. Kikyo sighs in relief when she spots you.

"Oh good, you're here." You hum as you close your book.

"Did something happen?" You stand up and Kikyo notices Hancock's glare.

"Um. There's a roaring Yuda near your home. Elder Nyon told me to come and get you." You smile.

"That should be Pyhia. I'll go give her some food." Before you could leave though, Hancock grabs ahold of your wrist.

"Don't go." You sigh then pull her cheeks.

"I have to. That Yudai is the reason why I can come back." She looks at you with teary eyes and you kiss her. "I'll be back soon." Before you could fully leave, you give Hancock a smirk. "I'll be sleeping with you too." Hancock blushes at that and you run away before she could your blush.

'What happened to my defenses?' You thought to yourself and groan.

Theory Confirmed: Shakkey Was A Former Kuja Pirate But Also Empress

Rayleigh nabbed a good one. Not to mention she still is in good condition that she could still rock one of those skimpy outfits. This also deconfirms the theory she was in Rocks.

I’m giving you roses just because you’re awesome🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Another snippet from chapter 27 of Mnemosyne:

“Ace!” Luffy called, from where he was sitting with his crew, his mouth full of food, but then Amazon Lily’s bounty of beautiful women hadn’t fazed the young captain of the Straw-Hats, who’d been rather more interested in their larders.

“There you are,” Sabo said, sprawled back against the cushions, but then according to Kikyo, he was still recovering from their encounter with Blackbeard. “We haven’t seen you since the party. I was starting to get worried you’d been eaten by some kind of wild beast.”

“Elder Nyon was called that once,” someone murmured, only to be shushed with laughter.

If Gloriosa heard, she wasn’t fazed, turning instead to the young man beside her. She had the whole tavern’s attention now, and even Aster was curious about what she had planned, as she said, “Many of you remember our Hibiscus.”

That got Kikyo’s attention, her brows furrowing. “What is this about, Elder Nyon?”

Gloriosa smiled, her dark eyes gleaming. “This,” she said, with a lift of her gnarled staff to indicate her companion, “is her son.”

A hush swept over Gorgon's, a silence so sudden and so profound, Aster didn’t think she’d experienced its like in her lifetime.

Bending his head towards her, Ace muttered out of the corner of his mouth, “I thought you said you were going to break it to them gently.”

Grinning, Gloriosa cackled, “I changed my mind, nyo!”

One Piece Chapter 1096 - Initial Thoughts

And we are back

Had a feeling this one would come early though. The Kuma flashback is in swing and we are in a very historically point of intrigue

However it is also 8 weeks since we last saw Nico Robin and it'll likely end up being double digits at this rate

Still, let's not rush this flashback, let's see what it has to offer

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release Also

The trend of monkeys on the cover is ended by Chihuahuas beating Zoro at musical chairs XD Still though top 3

We're back into hunger games as the Celestial Dragons explain how all the inhabitants are 'rabbits' all worth points; 1 hit kills get you a bonus but there are also 150 rare kills worth more, and 13 super rare worth 10,000 points, the same amount Garling was deducted

There's also prizes apparently, sickening stuff

Garling looked a bit like Zoro and Shanks there as he talks big game

Mannmeyer family woman might be interesting, face is obscured, same for gas mask dude

The last one looks kinda like that Whitebeard Commander too

Of course, the natives of God Valley are confused and panicked by the situation, and are offered no mercy by the dragons who simply tell them to give them a good chase

At the Navy, Garp is being called for support, but he's not biting

Rare appearance from Fleet Admiral Kong too

Young Garp is lapping it up by the pool, but he thinks he's being called because of what the Navy did to the Rocks pirates

Seems they stole something, a 'crown jewel' they say

Ironic though that Garp is all 'you can't shake the hive' and then over 30 years later showing up to shake the hive

Seems like the intel was supposed to be kept on the down low though

Garp won't protect the Dragons from Rocks, but he's leapt out of his deck chair for Roger

So much Luffy energy when he's relaxing too, though I guess God Valley was when he started getting more serious

The Rocks pirates are already on the move too, having left Fullalead without the rest of their inhabitants

Ivankov narrates something more true than they realise, this will be a big moment made forgotten history

10,000 civilians hunted for sport, and Oda's not holding back despite current events

Urgh and the slaves all have target marks on their back

Ivankov has to drill home that nobody is going to survive, the idea that they'll be let go if they survive 3 weeks is just a way to satisfy the dragons

Garling has been chasing the bigger prizes and has thus broke even already

All in front of an audience in Marejois via Den Den Mushi too

Ivankov's chains are bitten off by a Shark Fishman, who Ivankov praises, I wonder if that was Arlong and Shyarly's father?

Ginny (they're sticking with the G) is a bit of a thief and an wiretapper it seems, leaking information to the world 2 weeks prior to create chaos while they escape

The plan requires the prizes; Devil Fruits, the Paw-Paw Fruit and the Fish Fish Fruit: Model Azure Dragon, which are at the center of the island

She makes a point in saying that Kaido's is classed among the strongest of Devil Fruits, and that the Paw-Paw Fruit is a secondary plan because it can blast things away

Kuma also volunteers to be a decoy, his strength and bulkiness being cited as increasing his chances to survive

His resolve does impress Ivankov and Ginny too

Rocks are heeeeeere!

Alas we don't see Rocks D. Xebec, but we do see all the youthful members of the crew

Whitebeard reprimands Rocks for running ahead, with Buckingham Stussy hanging off his shoulder

Seemed Stussy had competition from a Kuja, so the big surprise here: Elder Nyon (Gloriosa) was a Rocks Pirate member, not Shakky like the theories

Canon Manga Debut for Shiki as well, as Big Mom and Kaido argue with the group, also Captain John is there drinking much like he did as a Zombie

No sign of who Ochoku was though, could be the guy to Whitebeard's left (our right)

Seems Rocks wasn't here for the Celestial Dragons though, the pirates were looking for something, and they're all gonna fight even each other to get it

Ochoku could also be the 2 people underneath Gloriosa in the 3 way panel, helmet dude or the very shaded hat man

But from the other side: the Roger Pirates!

Tacheless Roger with the Straw Hat, and prime Rayleigh and Gaban, but there's also a big dude, a Viking Dude and someone in a snug coat

God look how much Roger looks like Ace, and he's been itching for a fight all year

We see a couple more God's Knights too, there's a woman and a tall dude? I dunno every time I look it looks like he's beheaded, he doesn't have the armour, but we have the woman

The chaos has earned a reprieve for the inhabitants, the farmers look a tiny bit like the Milk girl Moda from Lulusia

The younger marines don't like their chances

Until Garp arrives!

Gotta have a good reputation if Garp reassures you against Rocks AND Roger

Bogard my man is still there, the others I don't recognize though

Even more carnage leads to Kuma and Ivankov getting the fruits they want

But alas, Child Abuse, Big Mom getting that in early to knock away Ivankov and get the Fish Fruit which she will use on Kaido

Through Ivankov's encouragement, Kuma eats the fruit before Linlin can get to him

But as Ivankov rallies that saving at least 1 person will be a victory, more child abuse! This time Saturn comes to deck Kuma

Man headshots marines, Bonney and Sanji but he went for ol' fashioned fisticuffs with Kuma

There has been a lot of touching tha child here, DON'T TOUCHA THA CHILD!

"I don't understand how someone can be born to be more or less important" god what a line that is

Stood before Saturn, Kuma notes that now that he has power, he's gonna save as many as he can, just like Nika

And Saturn doesn't like that, seems that the idolization of Nika is what led to the genocide of the Buccaneers

ACOC lightning hums around God Valley as Roger and Rocks fight, it seems Rocks was trying to get to something while Roger was trying to interact

But Oda, brilliant but awful as he is, decides that's it, no more God Valley content...

Sir we needed more, we didn't even see Rocks, or why Kaido needed the fruit to survive, or Ochoku, or why it's made out that Garp and Roger were teaming up to protect the Celestial Dragons because clearly they were not

But alas, back at the Sorbet kingdom we have the aftermath

Ivankov laments that Morgans only lapped up Garp's heroics, and that he's a WG kissass

Kuma however is praying in a church, lamenting that he could've saved more

Turns out he saved 500 people though, which is a lot given how many big names were there, and that last we saw he was staring down a Gorosei

Ginny has now nicknamed Kuma the chapter's title, Kumachi, which could be written the same way as Perona's bear Kumacy not entirely sure

But Ivankov adds praise to Kuma's efforts, calling his paws the Hands of Liberation

Ivankov doesn't stick around though, heading off to sea to enjoy their freedom

"I'll never forget your face for as long as I live" oof right in the Marineford

Ginny however opts to stay in Sorbet living in a church with Kuma

Make no mistake though, Ginny's the boss, despite being a third his size she has the age factor

Chopping wood like the SBS artwork of young Kuma as they seek to feed themselves on hard work

Ginny also beats up bullies that throw stones at Kuma thinking he's lying about being 9

But Kuma as a gentle soul uses his fruit to remove the pain

Ginny is a glutton, much like her potential children/clone maybe? As Kuma offers her more of his food

They've both spent at least 5 years as a slave (since both became slaves at 4, and Kuma is 9 while Ginny is somehow 13)

But the sensation of finally feeling full makes Ginny tear up with joy, which of course makes Kuma cry too

So sweet, it's all gonna go to shit ain't it?

Well it was definitely an inviting chapter

Though I am a bit sore that we got blueballed a lot with God Valley, so many questions still left unanswered as Oda teases us. The Devil Fruits as prizes make sense though, wonder if there were more, Rocks was after something after all. Wonder if the Ope Ope no Mi was considered a prize? I doubt the Gomu Gomu no Mi was a prize though think the Gorosei would've wanted that under lock and key, maybe Doffy's fruit? or the Yami Yami no Mi? or Marco's fruit? or that Egg on Roger's Ship during the Oden flashback? Did Garling throw his son up as a prize? Answers Oda you're supposed to give Answers! We got a lot of teases though; God's Knights, other Rocks crewmates, Stussy potentially indeed being a thing with Whitebeard but atm it seems more like she was dangling off him (she was listed as a 'freeloader' in MADS, wonder if clone Stussy will have a larger role too in present because she did get sidelined quickly), also seems like Gloriosa was interested was Whitebeard the man she had love sickness for? Also got potential ancestors who were God Valley slaves. Kuma saving 500 is still super impressive too, how did he get away from Saturn? How many generations of that 500 still exist today?

But we do seem to have the blooming of Kuma and maybe a relationship with him and Ginny. It's unclear but I think the Luffy's mom bit is even lower a possibility now, still thinking that Bonney is a clone of Ginny though, wouldn't mind if she was a biological daughter it'd just make the wording of Kuma being the last Buccaneer a bit weird.

It does further fuel the idea that Kuma is gonna show up in Egghead too, but the flashback only further fuels the layer of tragedy that has befell Kuma, man has suffered so much and he continues to lose so much, this flashback has the capacity to break us.

At the least there's no break, but the wait will be long and painful regardless.
