She Knocked That Smug Look Off My Face But Luckily I Was Wearing A Second, Smaller Smug Look Underneath

what the heck..

i just said all of this yesterday, that's wild.

but i agree with all of this. the baratie arc focused so heavily on dreams. on how sanji gave hers up because she couldn't think of any other way to express how much he appreciated all zeff did for him. i've been reading the manga since i caught up with the anime, and reading everything that happened in the baratie felt really disconnected from the current stuff that's happening. there are all these moments where sanji and zeff watch the fights - both zoro vs mihawk and luffy vs kreig- and sanji can't understand why these two are fighting so hard for their dreams. why would they risk their life for something they don't even know is possible? and that's what luffy teaches her, i think. that it IS possible because, to luffy, nothing is impossible if you try hard enough. and even he fails at becoming king of the pirates, he doesn't falter because "i guess it wasn't meant to be". for luffy, the journey is just as important as the ending. and, to me, that's something sanji really needed to learn, and still needs to learn.

but after the baratie arc, we don't see that anymore. when's the last time we heard about the all blue? or saw sanji express himself through cooking?

i don't want to see sanji get stronger the same way i want to see luffy or zoro get stronger, i want to see her explore ruins with robin just in case there's some mention of the all blue, or work with franky on building a better kitchen with all the knowledge she gets. i want to see him pouring over maps with nami, discussing theories. using usopp or chopper or franky as guineapigs for new recipies because zoro doesn't give good feedback and luffy inhales it too fast to properly taste and she's honeslty not even sure if brook can taste or if he's just pulling her leg. discussing fish with jinbei, all the different kinds he's seen and the unique dishes from fishman island.

all the strawhats have so much potential that i don't think is properly explored, and even though i understand that you often have to push aside the slice of life moments so you can progress the plot, i still think that there's more the characters could be doing

So many of my thoughts on sanji are about how he’s the food guy that I legitimately sometimes forget that he really . Isn’t . The food guy . In canon

Do you think Zoro has ever looked at Rayleigh and felt his insides freeze from fear? Do you think he sees a version of his own future where despite everything he’s tried, despite all the blood he’s shed and would go on to shed, his captain would still slip away from his hold — and he’d be left adrift for the rest of his days, drinking to oblivion, alone, bereft of any and all purpose?

Or do you think Zoro would be filled with contempt instead, and disgust at how the peerless Dark King failed to save his own captain’s life, even though it was no fault of his? Do you think Zoro, possessing the stubbornness and bravado of a much younger man, would insist that if it were him, nothing — absolutely no man or force in the universe — would be strong enough to rend him from Luffy’s side, and if Luffy had to die like Roger had to die, that Zoro would simply follow him to the afterlife?

Or do you think perhaps he’s unable to picture it at all — a life without Luffy’s warmth — so he ignores the many parallels between them and avoids contemplating the matter entirely? Perhaps he rather pities Rayleigh, because the former right hand man of the Pirate King should be free, but Rayleigh will never again know the meaning of the word, haunted as he is by a ghost he can’t bear to exorcise.

cool dude

little mikey doodle from my au, he's based off a blanding turtle.

more on this crossover i think sanji and wolfwoods aura would cancel out and they'd fucking hate each other
