#literally reading the top gun maverick script to be able to learn how to write how jets fly

[skatingbi]

So...One piece Fighter Pilot au loosely inspired by top gun and top gun maverick bc i have a problem...

Sanji and zoro are the main focus in this, they just meet at the top gun program.

just saw this scene as i was writing this in maverick n had to write oml:

Sanji: WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???

Zoro: I JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE FYM??

Sanji: AND I SAVED YOURS THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT YOU SHOULD BE IN THE FUCKIN CARRIER BY NOW

ZORO: WELL YOURE THE ONE WHO TOLD ME DONT THINK JUST DO CURLS!!!

Sanji: Oh my god youre fucking stupid fucking moss for brains fuck you

Sanji and zoro literally cant stand each other at the beginning, esp since Sanji has been training to be a pilot since he was a teen by zeff. Zoro on the other hand originally has only ground combat experience before transferring to be a pilot. Tl;DR: zoro is the rookie here lmao

So, zoro as nav and sanji as pilot. This shit is surprisingly like the davy back fight where sanji goes "hey mossy give me 10 seconds" and zoro just replies "aight bet" and suddenly theyre a literal power duo. This is them in an exercise w luffy:

Zoro: luffy is 5 miles to your 6 approaching in about 30 seconds

Sanji: copy *pulls the throttle and cranks a sharp left*

Zoro: Now at our 3, gaining speed and approaching in 10.

Sanji: hold on, mossy *repositions parallel to surface before pulling the stick towards him to gain a height advantage against luffy, it makes them jostle around for a good few seconds*

Zoro: SHIT warn a guy will ya?!

Sanji: hah, didnt take you to be a backseat driver, moss

Luffy cannot reach them atm and is attempting to gain altitude so sanji only needed to go similarly fast enough to what hes used to for a second before pulling back and forcing luffy into a situation to pull a wingline overshoot, making luffy be in front of sanji.

Sanji: target neutralized

Zoro: well goddamn, cook, did they teach you to fly at the speed of fuckin sound in the north blue?

Sanji: HA no but im sure they taught you to overshoot a lot in the east blue

then once they return to the carrier they bicker like teenagers...which they are in this series ig since i think they'd be 19-22 in this. Probably 21 though.

#Yeah..I have more.. #this is for myself tho lmao #literally reading the top gun maverick script to be able to learn how to write how jets fly #one piece #sanzo #zosan #one piece fighter pilot au
