Thank you @princess-of-purple-prose for the ID (available in ALT text). ID was rephrased here and there according to what the panels are meant to show

In another life, maybe things would have played out differently. But it's hard to imagine a world where he wouldn't follow Luffy to the ends of the earth

The gear 5 tag on ylts 👀👀👀. I'm sooo excited to see your take on it! Right now my theory is that Luffy is like a half formed sun god that unwittingly disappeared, maybe bc he fulfilled joyboy's promise? Maybe he returned through sheer will alone but always feels the call to return to the sky 😭. Either way, the strawhats are going to be so crazy protective of their baby captain no matter what!!

👀👀👀 My lips are sealed.

I'm so obsessed with the idea of trying-to-be-subtle-but-failing protective clingy Straw Hats. THAT'S MY FOUND FAMILY RIGHT THERE! THAT'S MY FAVOURITE TROPE RIGHT THERE!

Two birds on a wire.

One says, "C'mon" and the other says, "I'm tired"

im just imagining - during the 20 year wait for Luffy, one of the strawhats get into a life-or-death scenario

and they wonder if they should just

let it happen - that this is the end of the road for them but arent mad about it because maybe luffys waiting for them. maybe after all this time, theyll see him again

and the others have to convince them to keep fighting and the only reason why they do is because of luffys words from a long long time ago

"you dont repay someone by dying"

Anyone else always constantly thinking about this scene? no just me? cool

Ugh your Sanji gets me so teary eyed 😭. He's always been lower of my strawhat list bc of his horrible pervert gag, tho wci did bump him up a lot. But fics like yours just really encapsulate some of his best traits: caring, loyal to a fault, and slowly discovering his self worth 😭. AND HES SO SOFT FOR LUFFY.

"Sanji's hands squirm inside his pockets, fidgeting for the lighter he has never touched since that day Luffy decided to go on ahead.

(He’s not far; he’s waiting for them.)"

This kills me for many reasons but...can you imagine how long it probably took Sanji to get used to not making a feast practically everyday just for one person?? Or that whenever he discovers a new recipe he thinks about whether Luffy would like it (the answer is always yes). I wonder if there was ever a tinge of regret that he didn't stay just one more minute. AHH I want them to adventure together forever so chopper better get his butt in gear 😭. Tho Luffy 1000% needs to be the first one to go so maybe just give him a few more years bc I constantly live in fear of smth like One Piece: Next Generations happening. Anyways sorry for the long ramblings but ur fics are just so heart wrenching sweet 😭

Alabasta, Enies Lobby, and Whole Cake Island Sanji is peak. Thriller bark to Dressrosa Sanji—THAT'S HIM OFFICER 🫵 That version of him does not exist to me. I wish Oda toned the pervert/nosebleed gag down. He deserves better.

SANJI IS LITERALLY SO SOFT FOR LUFFY THOUGH—they captured it so well in the live action, I was screaming the whole time they had interactions. The Luffy & Sanji dynamic is too good; a glutton and his cook.

Can you imagine him without Luffy? Sanji makes extra portions. He still has a lock on the fridge. When he's cooking, he expects to hear the flop of sandals at any moment. He sleeps through the night without being woken. It's old habits and new silence—the way parents return home, expecting loud noise and greetings and trouble, even if their kids moved out years ago.

I WAS TALKING ABOUT OP: NEXT GENS JUST RECENTLY. I do not want a Monkey D. Buffy, please. I don't want Luffy to get a dad hair cut. I am begging you, Oda.

Don't apologize for the ramblings! It was very fun to read as well as respond to. Thanks for your support! <3
