Sacrifice as an Act of Love in One Piece

Been thinking recently about how Oda uses character sacrifices in One Piece so often. Ace’s death is probably the most obvious example, but you can argue the same for so many others: Zoro taking Luffy's pain, Shanks losing his arm, Bon Clay staying behind at Impel Down... Corazon, Bellmere, Whitebeard, Tom, Pell, Pedro, Zeff, Rouge … it just goes on and on. But why do we see characters make sacrifices for the sake of others? Why are these moments so significant?

In the world of One Piece, sacrifice is a means of protecting someone else's freedom.

It has been established time and time again that freedom is the driving force of life itself. People cannot dream without the freedom to do so. And without dreams, of course, no one has the willpower to achieve anything at all. As a result of this ripple effect, the world's collective future would implode. After all, who creates destiny — the series of events which dictate the world's future — if not people with the willpower to achieve their dreams, interconnecting?

Fate and the willpower One Piece characters have to achieve their dreams is a bit of a chicken-and-egg relationship. (e.g. Did fate lead Luffy to his dream, or did Luffy's dream create his fate?) But regardless, Oda clearly shows us that these three aspects of a meaningful life are all dependent on freedom.

This is why I think Roger's quote is so pivotal to the series at large:

“Inherited will, the destiny of the age, and the dreams of the people. As long as people continue to pursue the meaning of freedom, these things will never cease to be!"

As long as you have freedom, you can dream and do just about anything; the world is your oyster. So, when Ace sacrifices his own life, he protects Luffy in a physical sense, sure. But he also protects Luffy's freedom to live — and by extension, Luffy's dream (whatever it may be).

In One Piece, sacrifice is not the act of valuing someone else's freedom more than your own. It is the act of treasuring someone's freedom so deeply that it becomes equal to yours. Characters like Corazon and Bellemere put their lives on the line without regrets, without expecting anything in return, because of love. Simple as that.

Nothing highlights this idea more than the conversation between Sengoku and Law at the end of Dressrosa. Law believes Corazon saved his life because of his ties to the Will of D., but Sengoku denies this and delivers one of the most beautiful quotes in any piece of media:

"Don't try to find a reason for somebody's love."

True sacrifice is an act of love in its highest form: unconditional, selfless, and entirely free.

#we could also talk about how oda distinguishes love from self-hatred through character sacrifices #sanji and robin are two great examples #they both sacrifice their lives because of how little they value themselves #but they are not rewarded for this behavior narratively #in thriller bark both sanji and zoro are prepared to sacrifice themselves for luffy and the rest of the crew #the only difference is zoro knows his worth and sanji does not #that character growth is saved for whole cake island #long post #one piece #one piece meta #op meta #portgas d ace #donquixote rosinante #corazon #trafalgar law #monkey d. luffy #bellemere #bon clay

the zine’s officially out, so I can post my contribution for the @extraordinaryzine :D!

my piece is an interpretation of the caverns on Iron Island 🏝️ so I wanted to incorporate more of the water surrounding it by creating a sea cave to have light spill inside (akin to the modra špilja/blue grotto)

the focus of the zine was on the daily lives of trainers and their pokemon, so Riley uses a spot inside the caverns like this to meditate with his team, although any new Riolu he trains can’t resist wanting to jump into the water to play υ´˶ ･ﻌ･ ˶`υﾉ”

this piece alongside a ton of amazing artists can be found free to download digitally here! (and lastly some closeups bc I liked getting all the little deets down)

#kagarts #trainer riley #stat trainer riley #pokemon dppt #pokemon zine #this one definitely proved to be a bit of a challenge since. backgrounds are a whole other thing #but this got me interested in worldbuilding on a location #got me incorporating various elements from both the games and anime bc they both have their own specific strengths and limitations #that make it fun to interpret and feel more lived in #I can ramble a bit about it but for one the island in the games is just limited to being >place to defeat team galactic at #there’s only really leftover caves after mining expeditions so it’s mostly just abandoned mines type of deal #and riley’s singular house you can visit of course #but the anime includes a port town and scientists studying different parts of the island #so it fills in the gap left behind from game limitations #if there’s a town on an island specifically full of stronger pokemon that adds onto what riley’s job is on said island #to make sure either side of the town and caverns on the island are kept in check/at peace #adds to that job of being iron island’s guardian (and I haven’t even gotten started on aura yet LMAO) #I have a lot of notes but I’m saving any extras for later #go get this digital zine!!! it’s free!!!!!!

Have I ever mentioned the trio Dadow, Grunckles & Greatpa Tails?

Because these three are living rentfree in my head...

(Has anybody else ever thought of this trio?)

#it's like dadow but he's got Tails and Knuckles to help #and little Silver... being raised by these three veeeeeery oldmen too Crazy and stubborn to die #they live in Angel Island and just Shadow didn't get osteoporosis... (maybe) #not it saves him from back pain #meanwhile Tails got a Toph situation in which his 200yo body shrunk back to his 8yo height #🤔 what if...🤔 what if...🤔 what if i created an askblog for this?🤔 #and they fight every time... #como os velhotes da minha família que acham que o mundo gira emtorno de Lula e Bostonaro #dadow #Shadow the Hedgehog #Tails the fox #Miles Prower #Knuckles thw Echidna #Silver the Hedgehog

Hmmmm Odysseus taking Polites’ headband after… you know… and carefully cutting it in half to make two strips. Eurylochus gets one and ties it to the hilt of his sword. Odysseus puts his either on his bow or his quiver (because I don’t know enough about bows to know if that would mess up the balance when using it). It is a memento and a reminder for them that you have to make the hard choices for the protection of those you care about

#epic the musical #personal #this goes hand in hand with the three of them are best friends and have friendship bracelets agenda #and to go with the theme of the musical - the sight of the headband is what prevents Ody from taking the necessary lives in order to save #his men. After he recieves the all or nothing when being allowed to leave Calypso’s island #then it is a reminder that if he had not tried to spare Polyphemus and take the mercy route then Polites and All The Other Men would still #be there. and he wouldn’t have been placed in Calypso’s care to begin with #just the memento turning from Ody being unable to take any life bc of following Polites’ idealogy to a reminder that he Has to take lives to #get home. to get to his wife and son. #that sometimes for his own life it is necessary in spite of the pain and guilt it will leave behind #and the regret that if he had thought about that and realized it sooner then some of his men may still be alive to get home with him
