#grand emperor

[napoleonbonaparte4ever]

Napoleon Bonaparte, is marveled by the technological wonders of the modern world, like a modern man should. Dressing in a casual batchelor way, watching TV.

And preparing his speeches in the morning, before going out to concur the world once again.

*an in-game contradiction between Gortash and Durge. See: ‘Test Mission with Gortash’ and ‘Memoir Notes with Recent Addenda’. I’ve placed it after, but there’s also a legitimate argument to be made that Gortash and Durge met and became allies much earlier, possibly around the same time as Gortash’s betrayal of Karlach

Galactic Emperor Mitth'raw'nuruodo

Nothing unusual ver. 2 - under the last publication in other social networks, many suggested that if Vanto and Faro are Grand Admirals, so…

…In the end, the result was Emperor Mitth'raw'nuruodo.

Combined the white uniform of the Imperial fleet and elements from the uniform of the Chiss fleet. Palpi's wardrobe clearly would not have suited Thrawn's taste.

Grand Admiral Vanto and Grand Admiral Faro

palpatine: help me budget this my empire is dying

Y’all don’t understand how important this discovery is cause Thrawn knew Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader.

He was left with the impression of how greatly the Jedi’s abilities were, using that to his knowledge to also mention Anakin Skywalker in front of The Emperor upon his capture and pledge allegiance to the Empire.

Panels from the Comics when Thrawn mentions Anakin Skywalker:

Also, Thrawn was the only one to uncover the true identity of Darth Vader, mocking him over the fact his people had a nickname of “Skywalker” for force sensitive navigators who were young girls of his kind. This encounter’s mention during their mission was random.

Also, Darth Vader was known to kill anyone who dared referenced or mentioned his past self to him, so lemme just say make it sink in that Thrawn dodged yet another bullet to the head that one time.

the true potential of cross guild is that no matter what, buggy can Only fail upwards. like i genuinely do think that mihawk and crocodile will come to begrudgingly respect buggy for inexplicably revitalizing their dreams and aspirations as actual pirates vs treating everything as business and never trusting anyone, but consider: Cross Guild just keeps expanding after the fact

Gecko Moriah and Perona, after their encounter with the Blackbeard Pirates, salvage what they can of their crew and join up

Doflamingo is broken out of Impel Down alongside Bon Clay in a second prison break scandal and they both decide to join up

Rayleigh, wanting protection for Amazon Lily and for Boa to gain more allies, gets in touch with Buggy after all this time to join his crew ala Jinbe joining Luffy

Neo MADS, in need of resources and manpower after their scuffle with the Big Mom Pirates, contact and eventually conglomerate into Cross Guild, meaning Caesar Clown, Judge and the Vinsmoke siblings all join as well

Vivi meeting up with them alongside Wapol after escaping Mary Geoise and joining them, at least until she can find the Straw Hats

Buggy, through no reason other than being gods favorite chewtoy, straight up having a fully decked out Yonko crew of former warlords, legends and everything in between where no one takes him truly seriously but at the very least respect his authority as Yonko to not kill him. but oh boy do they keep him guessing. the only reason it doesnt fall apart is because they're all united in dunking on this silly little clown that, for the funniest reasons ever, is luckier than the devil himself to not be killed by them

#zerav meme #one piece #Listen to me. theres that theory of cross guild being made up of the broken dreamers panels from rogers execution (the trio + doffy/moria) #But. All the emperors. it would be soooooo fucking funny #buggy having an equal force to luffys straw hat grand fleet AND the marines #unironically i think the Big War thats going to come in the final saga is gonna be Luffy Vs Marines Vs Cross Guild. full on mayhem fighting #everyone is here!!! #cross guild #buggy the clown #sir crocodile #dracule mihawk #EDITORS NOTE I FORGOT TO MENTION. UTA . UTA FOR CROSS GUILD LETS FUCKING GO

“Then I leave you to your duties,” the Emperor said. “And Grand Admiral Mitth’raw’nuruodo?”

“Yes, Your Majesty?”

“When the business on Lothal is finished,” the Emperor said softly, “you will return to Coruscant.”

“Where you and I will have a long, long talk.”

i like to headcanon that palpatine has an annual dinner with his core group of officials (i.e. tarkin, vader, thrawn, krennic, etc) and every year it somehow devolves into an even more chaotic dance-moms-esque screaming match

#bc first of all thrawn and vader are like divorced #thrawn has submitted multiple recommendations for krennic to be on heavy medication #tarkin and vader are for some reason thick as thieves #and tbh krennic just thinks tarkin is ugly as balls #emperor palpatine #star wars #thrawn #grand admiral thrawn #mitth'raw'nuruodo #darth vader #moff tarkin #grand moff tarkin #orson krennic #director krennic
