YLTS - Chapter 1 Animatic Old Vr.
Song: Hadestown - Epic III
a collection of op stuff thats either unfinished or (I'm looking at you Halloween art) I forgot to post
i think lusopp, sanuso and zosopp shippers should join forces to make people realize that the monster trio's first priority is actually usopp and if they knew how the fandom treats him they'd go insanely mad and protective

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"
He sends his haki out to the ocean, a hand reaching for another, but it is only the wind that answers. He circles the island, round and round. Two times, three, ten, and at some point, he realizes the moon has taken up to the sky. Luffy doesn’t feel his hunger.
Staring at endless dark waters and blues for a moment held so still, Luffy lowers himself to the ground and settles into the sand, cold grain and soft land.
(“Luffy!” He almost seems to hear. “How are you not cold when you’re wearing only that?”)
Then, with his legs drawn up against his chest as if to shelter his heart from the wind, he asks quietly to the sea, like a child forgotten in the rain,
“Where did everyone go?”
The sea has no answer for her King.
ok i had to get this out
nami literally finished her world map 1 year after luffys disappearance, which was only 3-4 years after luffy became king.
LIKE YOU WOULD THINK A MAP OF THE ENTIRE WORLD (LAND SKY SEA) WOULD TAKE WAY LONGER
BUT THE STRAWHATS SPENT EVERY WAKING MOMENT LOOKING FOR LUFFY THAT NAMI FINISHED EXPLORING AND MAPPING ALL THE ISLANDS SO FCKING FAST
They didn't get enough time.
Marine number 47 cowers behind a much too small crate and prays to every deity he knows to save him.
His crewmates have long since abandoned the ship. Or maybe they are dead. Who knows. Not Marine 47.
Marine 47 had wasted no time. The second that infamous Jolly Roger had emerged from the fog with agonizing slowness, 47 had booked it. Had shoved past his equally terrified friends and superiors and had hid here, down below deck, behind a much too small crate in the ship's only cargo hold.
Screams and shouts and rifle fire.
And then silence.
His breath is loud in the tiny space but not loud enough to drown out the rapid footsteps coming his way.
tap tap tap tap tap.
Fast. Joyful.
Deadly.
tap tap tap tap tap.
Up and down the hallway. Passing the room he's hiding in once, twice, a third time.
Maybe… maybe….
The door is thrown open and all the air seems to be sucked out of the room. 47 clutches at his chest, his heart is suddenly beating hard and fast to a rhythm he has no control over. It skips and jumps and beats against his ribcage and he wants to scream but he doesn't have the breath for even a whisper.
He can see the rest of the room behind him. It's being mirrored in one of their canons standing upright at his feet.
'Polish them until I can see myself in them', their admiral used to say.
Bastard.
Number 47 can see everything now and it's the last thing he wants. He can't close his eyes. When he tries, the beating of his heart vibrates in his eyeballs and it hurts. So he keeps them open and watches that… thing enter the hold.
The canons are not perfect mirrors, so the figure is slightly distorted. Arms and legs longer than they should be, head misshapen. But 47 sees enough. He sees blinding whiteness and red eyes and a large grin. Sharp enough to bite clear through his jugular.
The figure laughs, loud, jarring. Number 47 slaps his hands over his ears but it's futile. This laugh, it penetrates everything, every thought 47 might still have had other than terror.
He closes his eyes. It goes bump bump bump behind his eyelids. He snaps them back open.
"Yo!"
Number 47 rears back and the crate seems to swallow him. It's not wood anymore. It's soft and malleable and 47 sinks into it. The thing crouches on top of the crate that is not a crate anymore and stares down at him, upside down.
Red eyes stare out of a face framed by white clouds rocking in non-existent wind. The eyes are swirling with an unholy light, madness lies in them, a depth as deep as the deepest sea and just as dark. They dance, seem to jump from number 47's forehead to his nose to his chin and back again.
They are the only light in the room.
"Yo!" The thing, this otherworldly being, repeats, grin wide and threatening. "Why are you hiding in here? Are you a coward? Hahaha I hate cowards, you know?!"
Number 47 shakes his head. He doesn't know why.
The being cocks his head, humming, chuckling. "Your friends ran away! They were cowards too. What's your name?"
Never tell them your name. Never give your captors information.
Not even Gods devils.
"Marine Nr. 47-3981. Infantry Beta Alpha 39-"
The being laughs and throws himself backwards, holding his stomach and rolling around on the floor. The floor turns into the sea, a rolling storm making 47 sick. "What a funny name! Omoshiroi!"
He laughs and laughs and laughs and number 47 chokes on the matching laughter in his throat. He doesn't want to laugh. Nothing about this sound echoing off the walls is funny.
It's terrifying.
The being stops and sits up, blinking large eyes at his surroundings. "I better get Robin." he mutters, dreamlike, eyes staring at nothing. "She'll know what to do about you."
The smile as he turns away is distracted, his thoughts already a mile away, the marine with the funny name nothing but a footnote in his journey not worth thinking about any longer.
Marine number 47 doesn't know any of that. He doesn't know that he is nothing to a God. Doesn't know that he is about to walk out of this ghost story of his own making with nothing but hurt pride and some food to tide him over until he reaches the next island.
Marine number 47 panics and hefts his rifle, pointing it directly at the back of the one being God man that could be his salvation.
His finger curls around the trigger but before he can take proper aim something moves in the shadows behind him. A huff of breath hits his neck, hot and cold at the same time. The sound of steel sliding free almost gets lost under the oblivious God's easy humming.
47 freezes, can only turn his head an inch. It's enough to witness his end.
Green hair. Dark eyes. Golden earrings.
"Bad idea." the demon growls and three swords descend upon their chosen victim.
Marine number 47 only feels the first blade.
zoro got lost again (it's ok cus he has his captain with him)

"Please... live... so we can all meet again!"
Zoro has given his life and soul to Luffy frfr 😭. Low key I can't imagine Zoro in a relationship with anyone else bc they would be second place to Luffy at the end of the day.
This post literally sums up my entire opinion on Zolu. I'm fine with Zoro being shipped with other people. It's just not my cup of tea, and people can enjoy whatever they like as long as they aren't harming anyone!
I wish I shipped Zosan because it literally has so many fics on ao3. There's so much fancontent on them and WHY AM I LIKE THIS
I was talking to a friend about this - I really like the idea of Zosan if both of them agreed that Luffy is priority number one. If they were in a life-or-death scenario, they're saving Luffy - not each other. I LOVE ANGST LIKE THAT
Also, I think my problem (not problem; just why I don't ship it) with Zosan is that Luffy's left out. IT'S ZOSANLU ANGLE???
And how once zoro even jokingly said that he'd become the new captain if luffy wasn't strong enough...
But then i remembered zoro's words after luffy recovered from his fight with foxy, "if i left this ship i'd have no point in being a pirate anymore" he said.
But you know what's left unsaid? "If you're not my captain anymore i'd have no point in being a pirate anymore"
In thriller bark kuma only asked for luffy's head. Only his captain's head. But zoro would rather die than lose his captain. Throwing away his ambition (shared ambition with kuina mind you), his precious swords, and his life... for luffy.
And OF COURSE thinking about that 'moment' with kaido.
Like idk but can we talk about zoro's undying loyalty to his captain? He is strong enough to lead, to become a captain himself, but he can't just walk away from luffy... that boy saved his life, and their dreams are now intertwined.
He will do anything for his captain and i know that in fics sometimes people highlight(?) on his 'obedience', but that, to a certain degree is true, because he loves to please his captain and follow his orders, i mean.. just take a look at his conversation in wano with marco.
Like ughh he is so ill, i am so ILL, and you ask me why i can't imagine zoro being with anyone else other than his beloved captain? I mean just look at him???
Reminder that they are like almost if not equally strong? especially during pre-ts era
力 = power/strength
Like literally everything about zoro screams dominance but god he just loves his captain so muchh, that it's okay to obediently listen to luffy's orders. He will follow that rubber man anywhere, that's his compass, that's his captain, his (future) KING, i will shut up-
WAIT I completely forgot Shanks is still like, around, so now I'm so curious what his reaction was to Luffy just up and vanishing. Though no pressure to include him because there's already way too many characters that care about Luffy lol
I keep forgetting so many characters. Y'know what? If I can't include them *majors your character death*
WHY DOES LUFFY HAVE SO MUCH RIZZ LIKE HE HAS TOO MANY FRIENDS i think i bit off more than i can chew
but i definitely think Shanks is someone i want to include at some point—and i do have a place where i can fit him into the story ;>
How long did the strawhats stay together after Luffy's disappearance? And what was the reason they actually separated?
It took them 3 years before they split up. One of the reasons was to "split" up to look for him—covering more ground in a sense. That's what they said, but they all knew that was only half-true, because the holistic reason was because it was too painful.
Talking to each other, looking at each other, staying on the Sunny and imagining their Captain going about his way as usual—bothering Sanji in the kitchen, stealing from everyone's plates, sitting on the figurehead as if the world was his (it was).
Everything in the world reminded them of him, especially each other. They carried remnants of him in their behavior and their habits and their hearts, and when does that become a curse
Chapter 6 "I don't get why we have to sleep in two different rooms anyway" Luffy whines, completely oblivious to the declaration of war he just interrupted. "Can't we just all share the biggest?"
Sanji lightly slaps him upside the head. "Luffy! A lady needs her space! Though, if you ever feel lonely, my lovely, I'm more than happy to-"
"Pass!" Nami sighs and rubs her forehead. "We still got that other room with all that junk. I wanted to keep it free for an infirmary, but as long as we don't have a doctor that's a moot point I guess. How about we clear that out and you boys can figure out who bunks with whom."
"Luffy!" They all shout at the same time.
Nami lets her forehead collide with the tabletop. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

its crazy how my fyp keeps on showing my tiktoks that remind me of ur fic
ok but like thats literally the best trope
also IT HURTS 😈 STOP IT 😎 WHY WOULD U SHOW ME THIS 😏
also this is also giving omniscient reader viewpoint and im getting war flashbacks this is horrible
WHEN THE FOUND FAMILY SPLITS APART BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOST THEIR ORBIT (THEIR MOST PRIZED PERSON)
im making PROGRESSSSSS AHGGGGGGHHRRHRHRHRHRH RRERWERRSEJFHKJFBDQE I HAVE SUSHI AND MANGO GREEN TEA IN MY BLOOD
okok I HAVE TO KNOW—do you pronounce it
mango greent or mango green tea
this is very important
im calling out to the void
What do the strawhats do for luffys birthday? Ah that first birthday after his disappearance must've been so sad 😭
probably just cry ig aidfhwauifbkfgb
hmm i honestly think they would have a party in his honour—even though they are hurting and "mourning" his presence, id like to think that they would shove all those negative emotions deep down into a box and seal it shut just for that one day. Any other time, they would allow their grief to swallow them whole, but it's Luffy's birthday.
and if he isn't there to celebrate it, theyd do it for him - wherever he is
