I Want Luffy Shoving An Ugly Christmas Sweater In Laws Face And Very Politely And Definitely Not Cheating

I find it interesting that over time, Luffy began to clearly divide the people around him into his own and others'.

The East Blue saga is different from all the others, so we don't take it into account, but the rest of the major arcs are fundamentally similar to each other and the main similarity is that there is always some character of the location who will interact with the crew.

so, the first such character is Vivi, and, in fact, everything goes as usual: acquaintance, a request for help, the way to the villain of the arc, a fight, and everyone is happy, BUT Vivi is literally the only character of the location who was accepted by the Mugiwaras into the team as an equal member (even in the pauses in the middle of the episodes, she stood among them) and who later did not become a member of the team, but retained this connection.

neither Luffy nor the rest of the team showed such willingness to accept a location character into the team, no matter how close they got (neither Connis, nor Rebecca, nor Yamato, although the situations were quite similar)

my take: Mugiwaras and Luffy in particular began to grow up long before water 7 and timeskip, this process began after the first big adventure on the grand line

me, putting a badge 'queerplatonic relationship' on iida, todoroki, uraraka and midoriya: *takes a step back* heh, nice👍

they will never make me disown you sparkly french boi 😔✊

'the best form of sabotage is self- sabotage'

— probably deku before break himself all over again to win a fight.

Dragon is one growl away from scruffing Sabo and carrying him around like a mama cat.

There’s been a time or two when Dragon- in full Amaru form- has snapped Sabo up by the back of his shirt to go lay him down for a nap. Which he ends up getting roped into because Sabo- for whatever reason- is a very restless sleeper when alone.

So this is how the supreme commander of the Revolutionary army ends up curled up like a giant winged cinnamon roll, with a feral little boy snoozing in his ruff of feathers.

honestly the phrase 'watch one piece, you gonna love it' can be considered both reassurance and threat at this point

[non-horrible Germa AU]

This AU's major divergent "plot" happens in Zou, of course, haha. There's none of that Bege stuff, everything is fine. Sanji kind of just went to meet his bros and Reiju for a while and then returns with them later after Luffy and Law arrived at Zou.

When Law stops dying he can fanboy about the Sora comics together with Yonji.

Germa scientists: Yonji-sama please stop using up the materials to make comic book robots

i think we as a fandom are blessed with amount of characters and foggy dynamic between them because it gives us so many opportunities for shipping.

Notes

One Piece Academy is an ongoing official One Piece spinoff that releases in Monthly Saikyo Jump. In the magazine, the chapters are roughly 40 pages, but they're divided into two parts and released bimonthly on the official site.

You can find chapters 1-32 translated unofficially in several manga piracy sites [ x or y ]. Raws for 33 onwards can be found here.

Like most spinoffs, the original author isn't involved in its writing. However, it has been confirmed that Oda himself decided the nicknames exchanged between characters (Cora and the SHs) in the donquixote brothers arc.

For latest chapters, check the official site. It removes access to free chapters as new ones add up, so if you like a specific chapter, better keep all pages saved!

Here's the author's Twitter.

At the moment, I'm only translating specific chapters or arcs that feature Law. This post is updated after each new translation.
