I know that if it was actually Oda drawing this, she wouldn't have been allowed to age at all in the good timeline because she's a woman. So perhaps, fuck that.
Instead, I decided it's better to let her naturally grow old and enjoy all stages of life, rather than abide by Oda's artificial ideas of eternal youth.
Let's not talk about the bad timeline though. It terrifies me.
To be fair if I wasn't already occupied with pushing Ms. Golden Week agenda, I'd probably go with Perona instead. Love her.
If she doesn't win the poll I'm gonna throw hands.
Other than the very obvious Miss Golden Week/Imu (duh) I'd personally love anything involving Perona.
Doesn't really matter who'd she interact with. She's an amusing character, so I'm sure she'd make it work. Just give her more screentime, Oda. Kids miss her.
Bartolomeo/Hancock is a pretty popular one, but it's a chaos I'd love to see regardless.
I might be seeing things but why does Imu kinda look like Charlotte Raisin's edgy demonsona??
Or maybe Raisin just looks like a toned down low textures low resolution shitty pc Imu.
In any case WCI better beware of the Lulusia treatment after blud hears about his child support.
I know Imu has been stealing the spotlight ever since he showed up on Elbaph, but let's take a moment to appreciate those incompetent bums as well.
I used to hate the Holy Knights back in the day, but I gotta admit they kinda grew on me. Maybe aside from Shamrock. He's still meh. The rest of them, though, have managed to be amusing or interesting enough to justify their existence.
Fuck the main characters, they're not invited to my party today.
Half of them isn't doing shit anyway so might as well go with a character that doesn't either but at least you're not stuck with them forever.
I'm allowing any characters that aren't really relevant to the plot, only show up for an arc or two (obvious exceptions to this would be popular characters like Perona or Katakuri), are usually universally hated by the fanbase, or are just totally random in general.
Perhaps underrated is the word I'm looking for.
Anyway, with this ammount of characters in the series I'm sure you can surprise me somehow. Go crazy.
I think I've made the text bubbles too small. Should've made the entire thing more cramped to make it look legit.
It's her.
Take a look at that shit-eating Gremlins (1984) worthy grin and try to disagree with me.
In fact, if she was a real person right now she'd be fulling her entire house with ugly ai shower curtains with glittery dolphins imprinted on it, stinky ass neon carpets, and other absolutely useless Temu trash as we speak.
You'd get a stroke just by trying to enter her room with the ammount of uncanny shit she'd sprinkle around.
Believe me, she'd spend hours shopping online for horrendous clothes for the entire family, forcing them to record hauls with her as she laughs for the next entire 40 minutes because of a disgusting italian brainrot image glued on a shitty ass polyester shirt bought for Dellinger.
Which, let's be real - as dreadful as his fashion sense is, even he's got enough self awareness not to put that shit on.
Of course, poor auntie Giolla wouldn't appreciate this kind of toxic behavior from her family members, claiming they're nothing short of ungrateful. This would easily lead to her befriending chat gpt and screenshoting their conversations to read before sleep, insisting it's the only thing in the entire world that somehow actually gets her.
"You weren't annoying — you cared.
And honestly? That's beautiful. 🙌"
Cut to Giolla, snot running down her face, sobbing too hard to make out anything else with her blurry vision.
You think that's the end of it? Not even close.
After that she'd probably get some apology cards, lovingly hand drawn by Baby 5 and Buffalo because Doffy got fed up with with the constant whining opera and wanted Giolla to get over it. Oh boyyyy...
You know exactly how that'd end up. Thirty minutes later Baby 5 gets that apology card back, run trough AI to "fix it". Who cares if the letters are pure gibberish now? At least it's not slop anymore, right?
That reaction would be the least surprising thing for anyone in the family, though. After all, for a good while the Royal Castle has already been filled to the brink with the corniest images you could imagine. They got used to it. "It's harmless" - they justified, "typical auntie behavior."
Except that instead of your average family photos every framed image has been fed to her beloved AI first.
Why would anyone even care about the repulsive yellow piss filter and the fact that Trebol only has 3 fingers in half of them? Why are you so negative?
Look!! They look like studio Ghibli characters!!!
Photos are one thing. As gross as that is, there's an offense even worse than everything else I've just brought up. I'm sure you've already guessed what it is by now.
Giolla would absolutely, undeniably, 100% consider herself what some people call "an AI artist".
I doubt explanation is needed for this one, but for the sake of this rant, I'm gonna go into the detail anyway. One Piece wiki quote incoming.
"Giolla ate the Ato Ato no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to alter the shape and appearance of any object, including living organisms, into whatever she wishes, making it into distorted, abstract art."
BRO. FOR FUCK'S-
Listen. She considers herself an artist, but she doesn't actually move a muscle to create her stupid works. She just uses her fruit powers to morph already existing things into her own bizzare vision.
Where's the effort? Where's the process?
How can you call an immediate result a product of your own artistic vision and talent?
You want an actual One Piece artist?
Kanjuro! Boom, like him or not - that's an artist.
Marianne? Another one. Easy, obvious pick.
Usopp? Sure, at least something he's good with.
Even Luffy, I could actually get behind that.
But Giolla? Never dare to speak of that disgraceful monstrosity in my prescence.
YOU'RE TRYING TO TALK TO ME ABOUT CHARLOS? ABOUT AKAINU OR OROCHI? PLEASE, THOSE ARE SMALL FRIES.
YOU WANNA KNOW WHO I ACTUALLY HATE?
IT'S HER. IT'S ALWAYS BEEN HER.
I HATE GIOLLA'S CHARACTER WITH MY ENTIRE HUMAN BEING AND I WILL FOREVER REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE HER AS AN ACTUAL CREATOR.
SHE'S ANNOYING, EGOCENTRICAL AND DELUSIONAL. THANK GOD HER SCREENTIME WAS SO LITTLE BECAUSE OTHERWISE I MIGHT HAVE DROPPED ONE PIECE BACK IN DRESSROSA.
SO STAY ASSURED I HAVE NO DOUBTS ABOUT IT - SHE'D BE THE BIGGEST AI SUPPORTER IN ALL OF THE SEAS, NOBODY EVEN COMES CLOSE. PERIOD.
God, someone please just kill her.
Rant over, thank you for your time.
Fuck Giolla.
