So I had to let Shanks put the hat on me…and almost broke my back bending down😂

Sanji looking like a snack as always…

Look at these lil cuties…Doffy and Akainu were sold out😭

Bepo and the Thousand sunny are too cute omg😍

Good to see the Marines keep the Mugiwara store in order😂

I got the Opi Opi no mi! Not because of Law but mostly because it reminds me of Cora-San and his sacrifice 😭😭😭

The store had the scents of some of the characters and I must say…Rob Lucci’s scent was the best😍😍😍

The store was amazing! I loved everything!😍

I wanted to do my own spin on @oz00ms2 's Marine! Buggy au, so here it is- Heads up! I literally suck at writing, especially in English because its not my first language (or second...)

Marine!Buggy au fic

//angst oneshot, maybe shuggy can be seen as platonic, about 1k words..

There’s not a lot he remembers before his time in the marines. Only loud noises, bright lights and then a drowning feeling in his head. When he really tries to put his mind into it and try to remember- 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦? 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦? His head begins to hurt.

𝘈 𝘬𝘪𝘤𝘬.

𝘚𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩.

𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘣.

𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘣.

𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘣!

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘮! 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘬.

𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘬.

𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘬…

And then waking up with Garp and Tsuru looking over him.

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘪𝘮.

𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘮.

𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴! 𝘏𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧..! 𝘏𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘺, 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘨𝘺 𝘉𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴!

𝘓𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘯. It’s quite nice. Reports of pirates had been rumored around their men and it was FINALLY! his turn to join the mission! Maybe he’ll get some nice, flashy loot from those filthy pirates…hehe

Buggy walks around town, his slightly too big uniform sagging around his shoulders. 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴.. He honestly thought his first mission would be cooler…maybe more action, but there's NOTHING! The young marine sighs to himself in frustration, letting his hand wander to graze over the scar he’s had on his head since…since his memory holds.

He wanders more around the town, slowly, slowly moving to a part of it that isn’t as populated. A shiver runs down his spine. 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘺…𝘕𝘰! 𝘏𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭! 𝘞𝘢𝘪𝘵- 𝘩𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳! He sends a sharp slap to his own cheeks, getting his head straight. 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴…𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴…𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴…

Tensing his hands at his sides, he looks around. Alleys upon scary alleys loom over him and Buggy feels smaller. The sound of a gravelly foot step behind makes him squeal out in fear before trying to compose himself. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳! His hands itch for the daggers strapped to his waist.

“𝘉𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘺..?”

A voice. One he feels is familiar.

He turns around, hand hovering over the sharp weapons he loves like his own children. A red haired boy wearing a straw hat stares at him, confusion- grief- anger flashing over his face. 𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘪𝘮.. “Uh…”

The boy looks about his age. Dirty, rugged and obviously…𝘢 𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦! Buggy’s eyes almost gleam in joy! 𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺! 𝘔𝘺 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵!

The red haired boy's eyes stare him up and down, glowing with anger when noticing the Marine patch over his heart. “You’re a marine now?” 𝘕𝘰𝘸? 𝘏𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳! 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘣𝘶𝘵… 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵! “Do I know you?” His voice comes out awkwardly dull, too mean but…why should he care? That’s a stupid, 𝘶𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘺 pirate!

The pirate stares at him…confused? And then anger flashes over him again. “So you’re just going to leave us?! Disappear for three- almost four years and then- You leave us to join the marines?!” Buggy takes a weary step back, gripping the handle of his most precious dagger. 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥. He grins to himself. “I don’t know who you are or what you’re trying to do, but I’m going to have to arrest you!”

“What the fuck! Buggy, are you hearing yourself right now?” The pirate takes a step forward. “Me, Roger and Rayleigh-” His head is beginning to hurt again “No! The whole crew! Have been looking for you! Missing you!” 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺 𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵?

“I have missed you” The ratty pirate screamed in a sullen sob, spit flying. 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴… “Gods, you pirates are so weird…” He rolls his eyes but it seems to only fuel the red hair’s anger. “‘you pirates?’” the rat quotes “You’re also a pirate!” 𝘐𝘴 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘬? His hands reach for the seastone cuffs at his side. “At least you used to be.”

“Yeah, right.” he rolls his eyes “I’d rather die than be a pirate. There’s no way I’d ever be one.” Another step from the straw hat boy and Buggy’s eyebrows twitch, 𝘶𝘨𝘩…𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘶𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦… The boy charges forward all of a sudden, breathing heavily, fist moving quickly straight towards his nose “You fucker!” the boy screams.

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘺.

“That’s enough, Shanks.” There’s a tall man next to the boy- Shanks. “Let’s not bother a young marine on his patrol.” The man smiles at him, the expression so familiar yet…he holds his head in pain, kneeling just slightly.

“Are you hurt?” The tall man reaches for his shoulder…it's so oddly comforting. He feels like his whole body paralyzed from the pain. “A- Don’t-” he slaps the hand away, immediately going to grab his daggers “-touch me!” he screams, pain pricking him like needles stabbing him deep in the head.

He feels like he might pass out, “I-I have to arrest you-! It’s my job..-as a marine!” The tall man takes a step back. “I don’t think you’re feeling too good, son. Maybe we can-” “DON’T CALL ME SON!” He squeezes his eyes shut.

𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.

𝘏𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴.

𝘍𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴.

“Shanks, we need to go.”

He feels the need to beg them to stay.

“But, Buggy-!”

It feels so natural to hear his name in the pirate's voice.

“We need to go, now!”

Don’t-!

“Kid! You okay?” His partner in patrol today.

“We need some backup! Buggy’s not feeling too good and Goldy just escaped!”

Goldy?...No, its…its Gol D…

“ “

He wakes up in the infirmary, his head throbbing in pain.

“Buggy! I knew we shouldn’t have let you go on a mission yet!” Tsuru cries out next to him. “I’m fine!” He pushes her away, gripping his head when the sudden pain shocks him. “I knew Garp was wrong when he decided to put you on a mission this early-!” She looks down at him. “What happened?” Tsuru glares, sliding her fingers across the metal lining of the infirmary bed.

He shrugs, eyes wandering towards the window as the woman kept scolding both him and his…old man.

𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴…He remembers the boys name. 𝘋𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘦… His trembling hand reaches to touch the scar on his head again…𝘊𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?

A sudden anger bursts inside of him.

𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥, 𝘶𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘺 𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦! 𝘏𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭…𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴! Buggy grits his teeth. 𝘙𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳…𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴…𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴! 𝘏𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺!!

New experiences

Cowboy!Marine! Reader has been on my mind too much.

Strictly platonic. Might make Cowboy! Reader a reoccurring thing, who knows.

(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Koby had never seen such an obedient crew when it came to the Marines. There was always a group, big or small, that misbehaved.

He was shadowing a different Captain, Garp had stuff to do so he was pushed to another. Honestly he was expecting glares and sneering from the crew, but instead he was met with smiles and cheers.

"Welcome to th' crew, Koby! We're glad to have ya'round!" The Captain said from behind him. Instantly he noted the western accent that was very apparent in their speach.

Koby turned around to salute the captain, taking in the most notable thing about them, being the western hat atop their head. Something a cowboy would wear in the wild wild west books he read as a kid, with horses and gun draws.

"Captain!" Koby said, hand flat and up by his forehead.

Someone in the crew let out a chuckle, then another, and soon after everyone was laughing. At one point he thought he heard a couple people fall to the floor.

Even the Captain let out a laugh. "No need t'be so formal, we don't do all that 'round here" They pat his shoulder before walking towards the stairs. He simply nodded and let his hand fall.

"You got any questions? What's for dinner? Sleeping quarters?" They asked, looking at Koby from half way up the stairs.

"Uh, yeah..." Koby muttered, scratching his neck. No matter how much he had improved, he was still as nervous meeting new people as he was when he met Luffy.

"Hm? Speak up!" They hollered, narrowing their eyes at him with a small frown.

"I do have a question!" Kody shouted, closing his eyes. He could feel his sweat drop.

It was quiet, Koby swore he was about to be pushed overboard. Boots clacking on the ground grew louder as, who he assumed was the Captain, approached again.

"Well?" They said, hand on their hips and leaning more on one foot than the other.

Koby swallowed the lump in his throat before opening his eyes, "What are we doing today, captain...?" He asked. The hem of his shirt freying from him messing with it out of nervousness.

They let out a sign, looking Koby up and down and taking in his nervous body language.

"I told you t'not be so formal. Just call me (Y/N)." They said, setting a hand on Koby's head and keeping it there for a second. "As for your question..."

Their hand on his head wrapped around his shoulder, gently leading him to face a different angle. Their other hand is pointing out to an island not far away.

"We're buildin'"

Building? Building what? He didn't know the Marines built, he thought there was a job for that already.

It was obvious with the look on his face that he didn't understand. (Y/N) let a chuckle out and stopped pointing. "We're not really fighters, we do uh..." they placed their hand on their chin in thought, "community work, I suppose."

"Community work?" Koby asked, looking up at the Captain, thanking their hat for blocking out the sun from his eyes.

"Yep! We go 'round and help people. Lots of times stuff gets damaged while Marines 'r catching Pirates an' stuff" They explained, taking their hand off his shoulder to make motions with their hands.

That definitely made sense to him. Thinking back to when he was still kinda new and had to repair the wall Luffy and Garp had broken. It was a horrible job and while on the ship he heard Garp mention something about the repair teams, now he knows what Garp was talking about.

"What- uh, what are we building?" Koby asked, walking over to the railing and looking as the island got closer.

"A barn" (Y/N) said nonchalantly. Koby's head whipped around and stared at them like they were crazy.

"A Barn?!" He repeated, "How's that gonna work? With what materials? I doubt anyone here knows how to build a barn." He ranted, going into the logistics of it being a successful job.

(Y/N) watched Koby spiral for a second before putting their hands on his shoulders to ground him. "Relax rookie. We've got a bunch 'f wood in the haul and we, the crew, have been doin' stuff like this for a long time" they reassured him with a smile.

With a nod he just looked back at the island as they let go of him to walk away, probably talking to the helmsmen or something.

Perhaps this would be a fun experience, though he wasn't excited to build a literal barn, even if everyone knew what they were doing.

Koby kneeled on the picnic blanket, taking down a few notes with his wing-tipped pencil. “So Wado Ichimonji is a Great Grade, which means Supreme Grade is above that. Those are the best, right?” “Yes, and we were fortunate enough to see two in action: Dracule Mihawk’s Yoru and Edward Newgate’s Murakumogiri!” Koby couldn't help flinching—nothing about Marineford was fortunate.

One month after Marineford, Tashigi’s passion for swordsmanship brings up uncomfortable feelings for Koby about his future with the Marines.

Me? Writing more fanfiction? Of course I am, but this time it's more niche.

This is the start of a one-shot series I've been planning based on the cover art between chapters 580 and 594, post-marineford and pre-timeskip. I've posted about these before. This span of cover art is very special because it was the first time Oda drew non-straw hats chilling with animals before reader requests, so the resulting character interactions are straight from his deranged mind (and, to me, somewhat connected). I want to explore the stories each page implies and experiment with different settings and character voices. I don’t think it’ll reach many people but oh well

[mega-ringsandthings-world]

Loguetown AU Garp is going to be so fucked up, extremely culpable for everything that ever happens and simultaneously the victim of it, endorses the torture of a child through inaction while telling another child to take care of him, fucks around and finds out in a way that would be laughable if it wasn't the textbook definition of a horror story, makes poor choices that are the catalyst for every single major plot point ever, steps into the room and everything goes downhill. plays sliding scales for breakfast lunch and dinner, starts a death camp for the safety of a child and only ends up taking out a rain check on him, gets locked in the basement by the other admirals when he finally grows a pair, is almost (on purpose) killed by two succeeding generations of his own lineage and still gets up talking shit. literally no one is fucking up like or as much as him.

the marines are too good in the op live action

i really, truly hate how much the marines are cast in a positive light in the live action one piece. it's straight up feeling like copaganda, esp with how much they keep incorporating koby back in, how "noble" garp is shown to be, etc- the marines are intended to be a corrupt government- it feels like they're watering down the anti-establishment aspects of op massively and i detest that

WOO! Hobbies for all of the SWORD members have been revealed!

They all fit very well, specially Helmeppo’s! Cute to see Koby kept his love for fishing!

Funny to see that Prince likes dancing, Hibari’s are also very cute and fit her so well

Kujaku’s first one is… questionable but the making sweets one is nice, we already knew X Drake’s but it’s always funny to remember how much of a nerd he is

How would the admirals react to realizing they have fallen in love with a pirate?

Fujitora 🐅

He would need sometime to understand the whole situation and would then make the decision to love them and protect them but from a far. He knows this would hurt both of them but it was the best decision. He would still write to them and make sure they are okay.

Ryokugyu 🌱

He is so pissed off to learn this and immediately cuts off all contact. Even though he loves them, he cannot fathom being with a pirate and someone who didn’t even tell him in the first place knowing who he is. He threatens them to stay as far away as possible from him because he doesn’t want to hurt them.

Akainu🌋

He feels betrayed and immediately tells them to leave and never come back. He is beyond upset that he let a pirate get so close to him. He wouldn’t physically hurt them because he loves them but he doesn’t want anything to do with them anymore.

Kizaru✨

He had his suspicions but kept quiet because he loved them dearly. He would still accept them but makes sure to clear up their past and cover their tracks so that no one knows about it. He would still maintain the relationship and accept them for who they are.

Aokiji❄️

He is not sure how to handle this situation at first but he knows he cannot talk to anyone because it would compromise the safety of his S/O. He immediately decides that his love is worth everything sacrifice and leaves the marines to be with them and start a journey without anything restrictions with them.

[lichenstone]

I was just thinking about this, mostly through the line of thinking of "how did Garp stay so loyal to the marines despite Literally Everything?" and there's definitely some individual character traits and beliefs that keep that man licking the boot but. Like. Marine propaganda in One Piece has to go CRAZY to have their numbers even remotely make sense.

Like. I'm from the states, yeah? and with the amount of times the marines in op show their collective ass they are very comprable to my own country's police force (and frankly, also our military). Like they fuck up A Lot, and PUBLICLY too. And while they're very good at cover-up (e.g. Ohara, Alabasta) I'm left wondering how much effort they put into recruitment.

In the states, not only to we have the commercials for the various branches (and lmty those are wild as hell), but there's also a significant amount of time, effort, and money put in to making sure that mainstream entertainment is favorable of the military as well. Not to mention the recruiters sent to schools/events, the (J)ROTC classes, and the offers for paying through college in exchange for service. But the US has one of the biggest militaries in the world and an already broadly favorable public image (in the US). The world of One Piece has fucking Gol D. Roger.

I'm sure pre-great pirate era the marines had fairly little trouble in terms of recruitment, but post Roger's execution? No way in hell. I can just imagine it. All anybody cares about is the goddamn One Piece and the marines are Desperate for some fresh blood. Queue recruiters in every island in the grand line and beyond doing their damn best to "how do you do, fellow kids" their way into getting some baby-faced high-school juniors to sign their lives away. They try to make joining the marines sound like the coolest thing in the fucking world. "Who cares about the One Piece? Join the marines and you can uhh-"

Like the WG HAD to paint all pirates as uniquely evil and the marines as solely good because literally any other reason to join the marines beside serving the nebulous idea of justice Gol D. Roger already got by being a fucking pirate. Not only that, but promised to whoever could find the One Piece. Idk about y'all but going on a no-rules worldwide scavenger hunt with my besties to get fame and fortune sounds WAY more fun than joining the fucking navy as cannon fodder. The marines had to be working their ASSES OFF trying to get people to join; especially after every time they fucked up massively and publicly.

I know there's some very juicy thematic implications of this but all I'm thinking about is the workplace comedy that would be the marines' PR department trying to make the marines seem like a decent and honorable career path after every time a pirate crew does something cool or news is leaked of the marines publicly shitting the bed.

[roseaesynstylae]

Oda drew what the Worst Generation, Warlords, and Admirals would look like if genderbent. Therefore, I will give my impressions of them.

Worst Generation

Bege: She looks more friendly than her male counterpart. I don't have much else to say.

Kid: She's hot. The drawings are basically busts, so I can't see anything apart from their heads and clavicles. If she kept her male counterpart's harness, than it's doing a lot of heavy lifting. That said, it's more likely that she's wearing a bra or one of those corset-type tops.

Apoo: I don't like him, but she's pretty cute. This is the first time I've noticed that his teeth look like (and might actually be) piano keys.

Law: She looks a bit like Boa Hancock. I don't have much else to say. She's cool.

Urouge: She looks like a cool aunt.

Bonney: He doesn't look that much different from his canon counterpart, apart from some stubble.

Hawkins: Much like Bege, she looks friendlier than canon. Honestly, she reminds me of a princess.

Drake: She looks a lot like her male version. Her bolero jacket seems to be covering a lot more than in canon.

Killer: I like her hair. Other than that, she's quite similar to her male counterpart, albeit with Oda's usual female body type.

Warlords

Crocodile: Damn, she's hot.

Moria: She looks pretty cute.

Hancock: All I can think is that he looks a lot like Law. Is Oda trying to tell us something?

Blackbeard: She's actually pretty attractive. I never thought I'd say that about Blackbeard.

Doflamingo: She looks good, but I feel uncomfortable for some reason I can't put my finger on.

Jinbei: She's really cute.

Mihawk: Oh my god, she's gorgeous!

Kuma: That grin is slightly unnerving.

Admirals

Fujitora: She looks really sassy, much like in canon.

Akainu: She looks way too nice. It's creepy.

Fujitora: Looks like someone's cool grandma.

Kuzan: She's pretty hot. There's some kind of joke in there...

I'm hoping that Oda will draw genderflips for the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates someday.
