a silly doodle i made to celebrate my one year anniversary with sabolaw 🎉 which was yesterday to be exact but life got busy and i forgot to post it :P

inspired by the color spread who made me consider them in the first place. thank you chapter 771 <3

I’ve been searching you 4ever and now I know it’s you who wrote that thing bout shanks I looked at one of people I follow and they reblogged with their own meta about panel with mihawk When he goes and meets shanks He has the same thing going on The scar cover The meta said shanks has to feel guilty for losing arm and now he can’t finish rivalry with shanks Shanks still wants to duel but it will never happened

What do you think? Since you wrote so much about the theory I ask u Finally it’s you I found you

hi, thank you so much for sending this!! i'm glad you were able to find me, and i'm sorry for making you wait so long for a reply, but i'm here now!

i'm glad you brought this to my attention; i honestly didn't remember the existence of this panel, but you're right in saying it looks a lot like the ones i analyzed in this post, so i will briefly explain what i think about it.

there's something that sets this panel apart from the ones i included in my meta post, and it's the context in which it's placed. in this particular moment, the reader is meant to see shanks from mihawk's point of view, while still maintaining a sense of suspence: mihawk isn't afraid of shanks, but he's still alert while approaching him; at the same time, the reader still doesn't know who mihawk came to look for, and the scar is a very distinct characteristic that would kind of "spoil" the reveal. i think the scar was hidden mainly as a way to keep the suspense high, to put it simply.

i don't think the fact his scar is covered is linked to his missing arm, or his rivalry with mihawk in general. however, it's true that mihawk was seeking out shanks to inform him about luffy's bounty, so the paneling might have also been used as a little callback to the moment when shanks lost his arm in the first chapter!

in conclusion, you were right, anon, in pointing out how the panel mirrors the ones from chapter 1 and chapter 434; however, while those two instances were meant to portray shanks's weakness, i think this one does the exact opposite: it channels strength, in a way that is characteristic of shanks throughout the whole manga.

novel law's english localization has just been announced!!!

even though my first language isn't english and we already have an official localization where i live, i'm still celebrating. i hope this gets more people interested in the novel! it's full of information on how the heart pirates were born, and it gives a new perspective on law and how he manages grief. i think it's a must read for every heart pirates fan, so i'm glad they finally decided to publish an official english translation. make sure to grab a copy when it's out!

god i miss law so much i might go insane if he doesn't appear in the manga soon

u like mishanks???? Omg

yes i do! i like them best when buggy is involved too though. mishuggy is always on top for me <3

i don't talk about them a lot because i'm just more passionate about shuggy, so they use most of my brainpower lol, and also because the mishanks side of this fandom scares me a bit. i've seen things happen to other shanks/buggy/shuggy centric blogs that i would just rather avoid.
