#or maybe smoker is a referee but he's not corrupt or biased about it and he just finds the pirates antics annoying

I’m fascinated with the op hockey au and ur art that goes with it and was wondering what would the marines be… like would they be refs or rules officials or judges? Like hardly anyone likes the marines and nobody likes rules officials/judges.

asking cause they’re a couple good marines (Koby, Rosinante and Belle Mere)

i mentioned this a little bit in this post but it boils down to them just being generally scattered around sports and sports-adjacent jobs.

i thought mb akainu would be a ref that screws over/directly causes ace injury during a whitebeards vs pirates game; garp works in media (not sports) but doesn't really like the notion that all his kids and grandkids are in pro sports lol; and koby & helmeppo are a rookie espn sports journalism duo (writer + cameraman) that interned at garp's media company for a while before changing to espn (garp was exasperated about it haha). but ye, the marines would be scattered as judges and rules officials and people on the olympics committee, etc etc.

i said nami would be a marketer or mb a sportscaster, so i think it'd be cute if belle-mère did something similar in her day, annndddd idk about cora. i made croc mihawk's manager but i have no idea what doffy would do and how cora would play into all that. would love to hear if anyone's got any ideas tho!

#op hockey au #rei replies #one piece #i wonder what smoker and tashigi would be too hm #maybe they're also hockey players but smoker just absolutely loathes the pirates for some reason #maybe for a stupid reason. i think it'd be funny if it was like that. #or maybe smoker is a referee but he's not corrupt or biased about it and he just finds the pirates antics annoying #bc some of their plays and the way they defend dont really make sense all the time but it's within the rules #so even tho smoker is kinda mad about it he'll have to throw up his arms and go 'I GUESS' #as he refuses to rule in a biased way like some of his other colleagues. #who knows #re: doffy maybe he's like. in the mafia. and cora's just out there trying to be in the sports world in a proper and clean capacity #and has to watch out for doffy trying to take advantage when it comes to stuff like the olympics. idk.
