#he likes luffy so much

[contactlessdrivethru]

there is something unique and deeply special about monkey d luffy as a protagonist. he’s overwhelmingly ADORED by the fandom. he’s consistently the most or at least top 3 most popular characters in the whole series. peoples takes about him are gushingly positive. and that’s… really uncommon.

a LOT of fandoms i’ve witnessed or been in have a tendency to favor characters other than the main character. especially in anime. the main characters are often written as a blank slate for readers/watchers to project onto, but that makes them not as interesting and so they don’t get the fan attention.

but luffy is so far from that. and he’s ALWAYS been this way. we love him so much. he’s the heart of the story and the heart of the fandom in every single way. and i think that speaks to how well-written he is as a character. he’s fun and charming and complex and interesting and he makes us laugh and cry and cheer and hope and love. he’s able to inspire so much joy in people, both in his world but also in this one. and i think that’s really special. i feel so grateful to have found this story that means so much to me, and i’m so grateful that luffy exists.

#i’m in a very emotional mood tonight and i was just. musing #about how wonderful our best boy is #and how much true and genuine joy and hope and wisdom he has given me #i feel like i’ve learned so much from him about how to love people #and that’s. freely. enthusiastically. easily and without abandon. #love you monkey d. luffy. you saved my life #one piece #monkey d luffy #one piece meta #personal

Holy crap this is like world record breaking pace guys

Speedrun/Time Travel AU masterlist

#speedrun au #one piece #time travel au #op fanart #sabo #monkey d. luffy #portgas d. ace #asl brothers #time travel aus are my favourite trope for any fandom's fanfic #but this especially is why i want it for one piece #because I needed ace to die in canon. luffy NEEDED to get that wake up call and his whole crew NEEDED badly to get stronger #but ace is so much more than just a plot device for luffy... he was a person who was loved by so many people because #he made so many people happy #if luffy and his crew travelled back in time... they wouldn't need to worry anymore about their strength #Ace could live you know.... #He could meet sabo while he was an adult #sabo could meet ACE while he was an adult #ALSO SIDE NOTE BUT SABO ALSO REMEMBERS THE TIME TRAVEL SHENANIGANS!!! but def not as well as any of the strawhats #i think the thing he remembers most is what he felt when he regained his memories in the first timeline #u guys... this comic was so vivid in my mind i HAD to draw it out... like i was planning on doin other time travel au comics before #but like I HAD to draw this because i had such intense ASL feelings #I tried to think if Ace would just start cussing sabo out cause like WHY DID YOU LET US THING U WERE DEAD ; - ;??? WHY DIDNT U CONTACT US?? #but i think ace is really tired... like he's been worrying about luffy... and suddenly his brother starts uncharacteristically start #full out bawling in his arms... and he's really confused right now but both of his brothers are here and they're both crying #so there's really only one thing he can do #anyways i hope u enjoyed the comic #op spoilers #<- oops forgot to add that my b

opla inspired!

#one piece #opla #opfanart #nami #monkey d. luffy #roronoa zoro #as the central guys in this little collage... and in the la! i said some of my thoughts in the previous op art tags #the la was suuuper fun and silly... i have my reservations about it but i like that it exists and its clear the crew behind it had #a lot of fun building the world + dynamic between the crew alongside koby. also iv never seen so much one piece in my space!!! im happy #this alongside the new op & ed of recent one piece anime & the manga picking up hype with luffy eughgsnkd (explodes) #anyway the mihawk appearance in opla was crazy. so was the bogard focus - he had more screentime in opla than all of the original animanga #every time he showed up i thought of the man in the yellow hat... #ruporas art

it’s only going to take me 8000 years to get to wano arc but ever since I’ve seen the clip, luffy blushing when he spots zoro and yelling his name lives permanently in a special corner of my brain in a little heart box

#one piece #zolu #roronoa zoro #monkey d luffy #‘luffy doesn’t care about zoro as much as zoro cares about luffy’ SHUT UP!!!!!!! #LITERALLY WHY DID THEY DRAW HIM BLUSHIN LIKE THAT #zoro’s smile is so cute too he’s SOOOOO excited

One of my favorite things about the ASL Brothers is the fact that Ace was the one brought out the sake and proposed becoming brothers.

Not Luffy or Sabo but Ace.

Ace, who believes he is unlovable, Ace who believes that his blood is dirty, Ace who believes that he didn’t deserve to be born, Ace who thinks that his life is worthless, Ace who believes that his mere existence is a crime.

And yet Ace saw these two boys and approached them without apprehension or fear of rejection even though he was proposing something as irrevocable, something as bonding as brotherhood

#not to mention ace had these thoughts bc this is how the WORLD sees him #that world put these thoughts into his head and made him believe that #but sabo and luffy only see him. not gol d. or even portgas d. but just ace. #the way ace knew that they wanted this just as much as he did #like he is theirs and they are his and he knew that #i remember learning that ace proposed it and being *so surprised* #cause we had just seen that ace had no self worth and hated himself #but he knew that they accepted him and that they wanted him in their lives #and he decided to make it permanent #they are his family. they are his safe place. they love him unconditionally. #DO YOU GUYS GET WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY #goddd these brothers make me so ill #it’s 2am so if this doesn’t make sense that’s why #i am thinking so many thoughts #i’ll probably delete this later #portgas d. ace #asl brothers #one piece #concha speaks #asl rambles #concha posts

There’s a pretty common ASL brothers headcanon that Sabo teaches his brothers things like reading and writing among other things and I do think this is true to a degree. Like of course the bandits taught Ace the basics but you know little Ace and his whole “raaaa don’t tell me what to do. If I stay out of the house I can’t be a bother to you” mindset. And I certainly think Makino and the Mayor TRIED to teach Luffy but he only has a grip on bare basics. So Sabo had to teach more complicated things like grammar, multiplication, division and other things.

And honestly I could see him being a pretty good teacher. He knows how his brothers brains work and how to phrase questions for them so that they would understand. And considering Ace and Sabo had known each other for years by this point I could imagine Ace is use to Sabo being a teacher.

But Sabo as Luffy’s teacher is a little different. Because Sabo watches Luffy struggle with so many things he did when he was little. Phonetic spelling, contractions, fractions even simple things like buttoning up his own shirt are hard for Luffy. And while Ace is quick to call him stupid because it’s easy don’t be a baby. Sabo is patient with him because his own parents never were. He buttons Luffy’s shirts in the winter when he struggles, he sounds out store signs for him and break down maths questions to the point of rocks for Luffy to count. While I doubt Luffy was ever fond of class time, he was almost always met with patience helping him to learn

When Sabo left, Ace would not coddle him the same Sabo did even if he tried to and that Winter after Sabo’s death Luffy learned to button his own shirt and was so proud. He chose to leave Dawn in a button up vest as if to prove to Sabo he was grown enough to survive on his own and he didn’t need to worry.

#asl brothers #monkey d. luffy #portgas d ace #one piece sabo #revolutionary sabo #if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes suck my digital dick #one piece #rambles #re watching it there are so many moments that sabo is kinder to Luffy #like asking questions listening. he probably doesn’t care as much but he makes sure Luffy knows he’s loved #both brothers work on giving Luffy what they didn’t have so he could achieve #AUGHHHH #I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

My arms around his neck My fingers laced a crown I was a heavy heart to carry But he never let me down

#nico robin #one piece #luffy #wtt art #daily wtt robin #day 34 #i love their friendship so much it literally means the world to me #he would do anything for his friend miss robin and she would do anything for him #moments like the end of enies lobby where he tries to thank her and she covers his mouth #or in dressrosa and wano where she's just like yeah that's my captain dude #UGH i would die for them #luffy is my protagonist #nico robin is my muse

This parallel makes me insane actually (and there is something incredibly Lawlu about it to me)

#One Piece #Monkey D. Luffy #Sanji #Trafalgar Law #Lawlu #something about Luffy saying almost the exact same thing that Corazon said to Law makes me so emotional actually #It's easy to think Corazon and Luffy would get along. they are both kindhearted goofy sweethearts #but it's more than JUST that #it's that deeper thing where they understand and carry the pain of the people they hold dear #And it's the fact that overhearing Corazon say this is pretty much what changed Law's life #To know that he is cared for and seen and someone wants the best for him #And then Law loses him #And then years later he aligns himself with Monkey D Luffy #Someone who has these echoes of Corazon in him #The echoes of the person he held so close to his heart #Like. It's no wonder Law is so compelled and mystified by Luffy in equal measure #I think if Law heard Luffy say this to Sanji he'd go insane #cause I know he's remember everything Cora said that night exactly #and it might tell him why he sought out and believed in Luffy against all odds and logic #(why he cares for him so much too. why Luffy's stubborn insistence on loving him without condition is so familiar) #I don't even know if these tags are making any sense but IM FEELING THINGS OK #donquixote rosinante #Corazon

i love clingy zoro.

zoro being all tired and sleepy and hugging luffy close when one day he tries to wake up earlier than he usually does, luffy complaining at first bc he's hungry but giving up once zoro buries his head on his chest.

zoro having 0% of social battery at a party and looking for luffy around (while he's excitedly talking to someone else) and placing his hands around his captain's hips, putting his chin on luffy's shoulder (luffy proceeds to pat him on the head without stopping his rambling).

zoro kissing luffy's scars and biting around his whole naked body, trying to leave marks. and they actually don't end up having sex that night, they just keep holding each other until they fall asleep. zoro likes knowing luffy is close to him.

zoro being jealous of anyone who might show romantic interest in luffy and stepping in like a guard dog in case they say something inappropriate. like. he never actually does anything and he trusts luffy with his life, he just doesn't trust others.

zoro holding luffy's hand when they have nothing to do.

zoro kissing luffy's cheeks at random moments of the day just because.

zoro always sitting next to luffy.

zoro placing his arm around luffy's shoulder when they sit together.

zoro wearing the straw hat when he's peacefully napping and luffy trusting him enough to leave him alone with it.

zoro calling luffy "my captain" over and over and over again.

zoro telling luffy that he loves him one day, suddenly when they're just resting in sunny's deck. luffy's back against his chest, between his legs, looking up at zoro and asking: "why?"

"why what?"

"why saying it now? zoro rarely does this."

zoro sees luffy's hair move because of the breeze. he's covered in sunlight and he's still brighter than the sun itself. zoro kisses his hand. "just felt like it."

luffy nods. he kisses zoro's knuckles back. "i also feel like telling you."

zoro hums, squeezing his hand. "then do it, captain."

"i love you!" luffy smiles widely, eye to eye. it almost blinds him.

zoro holds him closer. and closer. and closer.

zoro doesn't think he'll ever have enough of luffy.

#idk what is this i was bored and sad and i love these two #clingy zoro is real #he's so needy #he's like a guard dog but actually he's a cat #zoro cat behavior real #he just loves his captain too much #one piece #roronoa zoro #monkey d luffy #zolu

THAT right there, ladies and gentlemen, is a LOVE CONFESSION

#One Piece #Lusan #Sanji #Luffy #Sanlu #100% A LOVE CONFESSION. STRAIGHT UP. #Wow wow wow can you guys believe Luffy said he can’t become the Pirate King without Sanji by his side. Can you believe that. #Actually tho I feel like this is SO incredibly significant #Like Luffy could easily say this to anybody on his crew but #We know for a FACT that Luffy doesn’t let anything get in the way of his dream #And the fact that he’s willing to give up on it for Sanji. If Sanji isn’t there it won’t be worth it. #Any time a character is like ‘Not without you’ I just. I J SUT #UGH. AGHHFH. They make me ill #And Sanji knows how significant him saying that is too. Bc HE knows how much Luffy wants it #Luffy needs Sanji. He’s his nakama his cook and one of the people he loves more than anything #I am GOING to explode. #Shima speaks #I’m still going through it btw. God. That episode fucked me up forever

Out of the (unfortunately) many One Piece scenarios bouncing around in my head one of my favorites is Zoro getting hit with the memory loss beam, and only remembering up until like. immediately after Morgan’s defeat. He’s agreed to join up Luffy and is already feeling his heart swell with loyalty, but is still under the impression that he’s going to join up to a much larger crew, with several other members.

So he just blinks awake and at first there’s none of the confusion and yelling that comes with the memory loss trope, he’s okay, he’s banged up cause of Morgan, he’s on a boat because he just became a pirate, and oh hey Luffy’s right there. This must be his new crew.

Hey, um, is that skeleton playing the violin.

#do you understand what I mean when I say that East Blue Zoro would not cope NEARLY as well with the crew if he hadnt been the first to join #he was speechless when he saw Luffy’s DF he’d never seen smth like that. he’s not at ALL the type to go. #“oh yeah i’ve seen weirder” #he HASNT. Man would see brook n chopper n franky and think he’s still tied to that cross and having a stroke. Try to hit ‘em till they die #Zoro: (turns to Usopp) Okay so a skeleton a cyborg a reindeer and two devil children. I’m assuming youre some sort of tengu? #Usopp: Okay so first of all fuck you. Second of all yes the Great Captain is that and much more #one piece #my post #roronoa zoro
