If After The Most Recent Op Episode You Start To Take A Liking To Ahiru (belo Betty's Subordinate), And

what's your favorite op arc?

WELL. my answer changes pretty frequently to be honest. but i think my favorite manga arc right now is impel down!!! i like the pacing and most of the characters are really enjoyable, plus the dynamic between luffy, buggy, galdino and bon clay makes me love it even more <3

when it comes to the anime, the arc i find myself rewatching the most is wano, i love the storytelling and the regular pov changes help me stay focused. but once again another reason i like it so much is because of the characters... i love the luffy + kid + law trio too much

it's not easy for me to choose a favorite arc overall because my way of engaging with media is through the characters; every arc is good to me if i get to see my favorite characters doing their thing on screen!

Im not gonna say character but please understand me here

got the memo anon, don't worry <3

buggy x galdino/mr. 3!

this is the rarest pair i have with buggy ><' i ship him with shanks and mihawk, and also with cabaji a bit, but i think him and galdino are the least popular ship with buggy i have.

i headcanon them as exes; they had a thing during the impel down arc and got together officially right after (buggy used it as a way to get over shanks, seeing him again after all that time made some feeling resurface and buggy wasn't too happy about that...). they split up on good terms, just realized they weren't that great for each other. it's a bit awkward now that they're both part of cross guild lmao

i think they could work well as a couple honestly. galdino is honest to a fault and that would spark some arguments for sure, and buggy's need to always get taken care of would tire galdino out in the long run, but other than that i genuinely think they would be good for each other. i totally can see them in a domestic setting, like, galdino cooking dinner while buggy folds the laundry or something. as we saw from their moments together during impel down, they're a fun duo: definitely the type of couple that would spice up a night out with friends with their constant banter (that would totally turn into an actual fight, give it, like, 20 minutes).

I sent you an ask about shanks hiding his scars in more than the chapter you posted and I’m not sure you got it?

hi! yes i did get it, don't worry! i'm still writing my answer cause it's a bit long and in-depth, but i should post it soon if all goes well :)

I just preferred shanks to be the interesting one with more layers rather than twist done to death by every comic book in history

that's valid honestly, i can't even argue with that because that IS an overused trope lmao. but i think this will be an opportunity to see a new side of shanks, one that isn't shrouded in mystery, but instead open, emotional and dramatic.

let's just hope oda will surprise us (like he often does), maybe he will use the trope in a way that positively serves the plot!

core four heart pirates my beloveds <3

happy (a bit late) shuggy day to everyone that celebrates! 💙❤🤡🍶

starting to write my responses!!!

just to clarify: the ship i will choose for each emoji/set of emojis is random (unless you, like, explicitly ask me for a specific ship)

also, i will post all my answers under the tag #star's rarepair tag !!!

hi. very bored, so:

send an emoji in my inbox and i'll answer with one of my extremely nonsensical one piece rarepairs!

thank you so much!!! i am, in fact, very proud of it

i have a lot of one piece related playlists on my spotify but i'm kind of scared of sharing them, fandoms can be weird about these things. but maybe one day i will have the guts to share a link to my shuggy playlist. who knows

i’ve seen a lot of people genuinely confused about shachi and penguin’s relationship in canon. i happen to be hyperfixated on them both, so i thought i’d write a post briefly explaining the origin of their bond!!

i think the confusion stems from the fact most one piece fans haven’t read law’s novel, and learned more about penguin and shachi exclusively through the wiki, which (despite the editors’ much appreciated work) sometimes lacks info. when the wiki says “their parents were killed in a tsunami” it doesn’t mean they share the same parents, as someone seems to think. this is clarified in law’s novel (thank you @/odaslaughtale for your translation!), in the paragraph where penguin opens up about their past.

plus, if they were related, i don’t think there would have been a point in specifying the people that took them in after the death of their parents were exclusively shachi’s relatives and not penguin’s.

we don’t know exactly when shachi and penguin met, but since their parents knew each other and it was normal for the two families to hang out together, it’s not a stretch to think they have known each other since birth due to their parents being friends or something like that. it warms my heart just thinking about it sorry

i obviously don’t have anything against people that see penguin and shachi as siblings; everyone is allowed to interpret the relationship between characters as they’d like (when no type of bond is explicitly stated in canon!!!), and exchanging ideas and headcanons is without doubt one of the best parts of fandom culture. however, i don’t want people to unknowingly spread misinformation, especially since law’s novel isn’t available in all languages and some may not have access to it. so i thought a post like this might be useful!!

new official art for law's birthday!!!

the hearts baked him a cake... this is the sweetest thing ever
