r/OnePiece

Hi everyone! I don't know much about One Piece (yet!), but my friend is absolutely obsessed with it and is currently rewatching the whole series. Their favorite character ever is Bon Clay, so I decided to 3D print and completely hand-paint this bust as a gift.
Since I'm not familiar with the anime, I really wanted to ask the true fans: how did I do? Did I capture his crazy energy? Are the colors right?
I'd love to hear your honest feedback before I wrap it up and give it to her tomorrow.

I bought it second-hand, idk if my mornings could get any better

more of my gunko cosplay, i promise this is my last post of her💕

My friend showed me a tattoo he got recently and it was done in one session.

I just rewatched the Don Krieg fight and it was honestly more even than I remembered.
And this is probably Day 2 or 3 since his journey started and I remember hearing somewhere that the strawhats had only spent 20-25 days together before the timeskip happened.
So, I feel having an even fight with Luffy who is going to be defeating so many insanely strong people in a couple weeks should be quite a feat.

Pre water 7 also before he unlocked gear 2, he had already defeated a lot of baroque works people, arlong, bellamy, crocodile and enel

I up-cycled my daughter and I outfits for the upcoming comic convention in our area!! It’ll be our first time and I’m uber duber excited!!! We’ll definitely be doing this again!…

Was in the mood to draw something eerie and creepy, almost horror”ish” and i was lucky that i was rereading WCI because that arc is just perfect for it. So i chose my beloved Pudding 🥹💕

Alright I’ve been thinking about Kaku. Why is he the way he is and why is it so similar to Luffy. He uses his body like a spring when he compresses it, his legs come out whenever he retracts his neck too far.

Are all zoan fruits like this? I mean it’d make sense, Kaku is supposed to be the demonstration of what a zoan fruit actually is and can do.

Wonder what this could mean?

Probably a necessity so a person doesn’t simply die from the pain of the transformation. Nika can probably just take on any Zoan form since it’s entirely limitless which explains why Luffy is able to manipulate his body in any way he wants Nika is like the “Omni-Zoan” which gives it properties similar to a logia. While other zoans are limited to in-between stages of their transformation or transformations arising out of how your zoan changes your body. Like making your horns bigger or smaller.

Given how Sanji has a habit of sacrificing himself for others, and Gaban's comments, it has been theorized that Sanji has an issue with his own self-worth (given his heritage and upbringing) which is what is holding back him unlocking his Conquerer's haki.

And since the chapter ends with Sanji in distress as he remembers his time with Ivankov, I've seen some discussion that Ivankov and the newkamas tried teaching Sanji self-acceptance (something which LGBT folk are very knowledgeable about), through encouraging him to try out being a newkama, Ivankov temporarily transforming him into a woman, or just through sharing their own queer experiences.

Either way, I've long loved the idea of Sanji's time with the newkamas being used for more than just a gag, since it presents a more respectful picture of the newkama, provides a great opportunity for Sanji to reflect on his own troubled relationship with queerness, masculinity and women, and plus the idea he's been hiding a made-up right eye for years is fucking hilarious to me.

And it seems like now Oda's finally heading in that direction: in order to unlock CoC, Sanji has to accept the lessons he learned from Kamabakka Island, and in doing so accept his own self-worth, in direct parallel of queer people accepting themselves.

Just imagine him doing a Death Wink, and the black lightning erupting from it.

If the salt can purify zombies because its derived from the sea wont swimming in it cause the zombie to be purified even more vehemently?

My second nami tattoo, and the start of a non-canon anime sleeve.... I wanted nami, but I also love steampunk.... So here we have steampunk NAMI.....

It’s Candelle.

It seems odd that Imu would move heaven and earth to acquire Shuri, only to have her in a position where she could have chosen to die. After all, then he would lose her valuable eyes. That is why I think the silhouette talking to Imu is not Shuri, but her mother Candelle, because:

• 3/4 of the main Esperia characters are shown in their “last moments” (Reuven/Shuri before they are Domi Reversi’d, Brook before he is stabbed), but not Candelle. Instead, we see Imu in the same panel spot where we saw Candelle’s grave. It is almost like he is surprising memories of Candelle specifically.

• We never saw what Candelle looked like dying, just confirmation that she died. The two other flashbacks mothers this arc, Estrid and Ida, were bedridden before their deaths.

• Candelle was bedridden in the past, notably before Shuri was born, and presumably right before she dies of illness. Shuri would not have memories from before she was born, but if St. Marcus Mars did cause the poisonous fog that ruined Esperia, then Imu would have the ability to appear there as well. We know both Mars and Imu later appear in Esperia on its final day. 
• We never got any other hint as to why Oda gave Candelle unique SFX font reserved exclusively for Mihawk, who at the very least has some visual similarities to Imu, namely his eyes. Shuri/Gunko show us that unique eyes are a trait that can matter in this world.

 

In SBS 108, Oda states Mihawk “experienced a great betrayal” in his past, and we might be seeing something like that here with Candelle. 

I think Candelle was indeed a Manmayer Devoted Blade/Gods Knight, one who strayed a little too far from her mission for some reason. Mars caused the fog not to twist Reuven’s arm, but Candelle’s. She thought Imu would relent, stopping before potentially harming her or her family, which is why she is so confident the fog would go away.

Instead, she falls ill, and Imu “visits” her one last time via Mars. Shuri accidentally saw this meeting, and more importantly was seen by Imu, hence the very last panel of Imu’s eye. Shuri didn’t understand what was happening with her mother and probably thought the whole meeting was just a nightmare. For Imu, it was a dream come true, he found the best possible replacement for Candelle, one with her family’s gifted eyes.

Afterwords, events play out like Brook remembers. Candelle dies, and Gurou is sent to recover Shuri, who is his niece. I believe Gurou is Candelle’s brother because it would then be an exact mirror of what is happening with Loki in Elbaph at the same time, 62 years ago: Environmental disaster -> Mother dies from illness -> Maternal uncle comes in.

Currently with Shuri, any reveal seems to raise two more questions, but it looking more and more like Imu granted Shuri’s wish to be strong just like her mother.
