⚡️💖 LET'S JAM! 💖⚡️

the new splat4 idol group looks a bit strange

he wont leave me alone !!!!!!!!

they're so girlfriends

i would love to share my thoughts on the shanks twin theory (which is now apparently Very Real and Very Much Not A Theory Anymore). but i will not. i will talk about it when we have more info though trust me

I wish I could like buggy and mr3 but after he made fun of buggy suffering I can’t like him… so unnecessary of him, even Alvida was nicer and she would sell him for a chip in a second 😭

Also I think cabji is much more less known? I see some buggy3 art or bugvida, never heard of cabaji in ships

omg really? i swear i've seen a handful of buggy x cabaji fanart over on twitter, but never anything with buggy and mr. 3

also, ships are very personal, taste is subjective, it's alright if you don't like them! personally i read that moment as a throwaway gag so i didn't think much of it...

god i can't believe i still haven't talked about That One penshachi moment from the new chapter of novel law on here...

anon i need you to know you just made my day 10 times better. thank you so much

Would Law get along with so who isn't as intelligent as him? 🤓

i honestly don't think so, it would for sure piss him off. another reason why i like sabolaw so much is because i think their smartness level is basically the same lol

This is not a hostile question btw!!! I’m just genuinely interested. Please forgive me if this is phrased awkwardly

Why do you think buggy’s grudge against Shanks is kind of justified? Do you think Shanks is at fault in their fall out?

Thank you!

talking about shanks and buggy's breakup is always tricky to me, but i'm glad you asked this, maybe writing about it will help me reorganize my feelings on the whole thing lol

when i look at it objectively, the whole situation reads just as a big misunderstanding. both shanks and buggy weren't transparent with their feelings, but couldn't hide them anymore in a moment of great distress such as roger's execution. they were both stupid teenagers who didn't think about the other's feelings and ended up paying the price for it.

however, looking at it from a subjective point of view, i just can't help sympathizing with buggy. he always felt outshined by shanks, but he had no reason to blame him for it. buggy trusted him: he trusted his judgement, he trusted that he would do great things in the future, but most importantly, he trusted him to stay by his side and protect him, as a partner but mainly as a friend. after all, shanks was buggy's first and only friend, of course he would think of his sudden change of heart as betrayal, and that's an harsh event to recover from.

not only did buggy just witness the death of his captain, but he also had to realize shanks was failing to meet the very high standards he held him to; for people who are as emotionally dysregulated as buggy is, that's going to be really hard to come to terms with. he also had no other plans for his life besides sailing with shanks, so there's that too. his worldview was basically shattered in a matter of minutes, and that's going to be devastating for anyone.

i know shanks probably felt a very similar way in that moment, but i still feel like buggy was the one that suffered the most because he wasn't held to as high standards as shanks was, so he probably didn't feel capable to come up with a new plan for himself as easily, but also because of, well, the way buggy is. that sudden perceived betrayal completely broke him, and that's why he acts the way he does now; i think that's enough to comprehend how much shanks truly meant to him and how essential shanks was to his life. i can't help but feel bad for him because he lost the person he trusted most, the only person he felt connected enough to want by his side, the person he swallowed his pride for and abandoned all his biggest dreams for. buggy basically let shanks rob him of his future once, and now he has to experience it all over again. that's too heartbreaking for me. at this point, i would find a way to excuse literally every single one of his actions. yes, even the time he damaged luffy's straw hat. after everything buggy endured because of shanks, that's a reasonable and justified crashout to me lol.

i'm very big on sabolaw because (to me) they just make sense. a whole lot of sense.

they both have their similarities in terms of backstory and lore: both of them saw the truth about the society they lived in at the age of 10, between the flames of a city, or part of a city, that they called home, and they both have lost an important figure in their life with whom they seeked freedom, and to whom they promised to keep their will alive, now living through their vows.

both sabo and law are in search of freedom. for sabo, it is more of an universal freedom, the freedom of the people before his own, even if it started as something he yearned for himself; for law, it's effectively a personal freedom, a freedom he wants to achieve for his own person, and for cora. but in order to achieve both of their goals and be free, they have to discover the truth about their world, and their lives. the true history.

checkered fate.

interestingly enough, in the manga sabo and law are described to both have a checkered fate; the five elders use this adjective to describe sabo's destiny, because he's surrounded by people with the moniker D, and law uses it to describe his own fate, when he decides he wants to seek out the meaning behind his name, and so discover the truth about the will of the D.

now, this is why i think sabo and law will end up working together, sooner or later. i know that law becoming an ally of the revolutionary army and/or linking up with sabo is a very popular theory and i'm so, SO glad it is! because it really makes sense, doesn't it?

sabo is destined to be involved with people with the initial D in their name, and was just now trusted with the task to deliver vivi and luffy the message that vivi is a D just like luffy is, making him even more involved than he already was with the clan and its descendants. on the other side, we have law, whose newly found objective is to find the truth behind his existence, thus uncovering the "true history", which will inevitably bring him closer to other "D"s and to those who always get mixed up with them.

if we add these bits of info to the whole imu situation...

imu is, most certainly, an immortal being, who became immortal thanks to the ability of the ope-ope no mi. ivankov literally SHOWS the fruit to sabo in chapter 1086!

and i mean, i doubt sabo still doesn't know who law is. he was in dressrosa, after all (also im so so so convinced sabo and law met sometime during the timeskip bc law saved luffy's life and iva was right there and how could sabo not know that was law who saved his little brother's life and how could he not go and thank law for what he did i mean- c'mon-) and he most likely knew about the alliance with luffy and everything else. so he should know that law is the wielder of the ope-ope no mi, and it would be obvious for him to seek law out in order to know more about the fruit's ability and find a counterattack to imu's (and, probably, the five elders') immortality. it would be so disappointing if after all these little hints they ended up never meeting. like, at all.

finally, sabo and law's dynamic would be soooo interesting!! sabo is similar to luffy in some ways, but he's also... completely different. i think law wouldn't lose his mind working with sabo, because yes, sabo is irresponsible and impulsive and a bit of a jerk- but he follows the plan, he's strategic, he's stealthy and logical, and he puts the success of the mission above everything else (that isn't luffy, of course). law can work splendidly with that. i also think they would have a very entertaining back-and-forth, both of them being as witty and blunt as they are. they would be equals, and have a very well balanced relationship. sabo is cheerful and kind, fiery and elegant, which is a good contrast to law's cold, serious demeanour, and heartless façade (because law cares just as much as sabo, he wants to help people just as much as him; he is a doctor, after all). also their devil fruits would work so well, so good together, it would be so cool- oda i'm begging you, please, let them be partners, please-

one piece gakuen and stampede showed us a bit of how their possible dynamic could work, and i pray day and night that we can have something like that in the main manga, too. i need it.

tl;dr: sabolaw is a very good pairing with a lot of potential that i hope will be explored in the story sometime in the future. please do consider them!!!
