The new OP opening looks so fucking cool

got an ipad so i had to draw my son in his many positions of rest

In the live-action "One Piece" adaptation, there's a brief confrontation in which Cabaji says that Zoro chased him and his brother through the jungles of Goa Kingdom or something. Which made me think IMMEDIATELY about an AU in which Zoro and Luffy meet early, when Luffy is around 15 or so and Zoro is around 17, sometime shortly after Ace has set out on his own adventure and Luffy is on his own.

So, like, imagine Zoro being this 17yo bounty hunter who thinks he's hot shit, people are starting to call him "THE Demon of East Blue". He gets one Cabaji brother but the other escapes, leaving Zoro injured and alone in the jungle (similar to the side wound that Zoro gets at Orange Town in the manga). It's getting dark, he has a corpse to drag back to a Marine base somewhere back in Goa Kingdom, and there are beasts here. He thinks he can see a tiger, stalking him in the bush.

And then some 15yo in a straw hat and shorts bounces out of the trees going, "WHOOOOOAAAAA, you're SO cool! I was watching your fight! You're amazing! You should join my pirate crew!" Like... what? (If there was a tiger, the tiger has fucking RUN FOR IT. It doesn't want to be EATEN.)

So, Luffy drags Zoro back to Dadan's place for medical aid ("YOU BROUGHT A BOUNTY HUNTER INTO MY HOUSE?!" Dadan yells, while her guys patch up this kid anyway) and politely introduces Zoro to Makino ("I'm not going to be your first mate, don't introduce me that way," Zoro says for the tenth time already). And Zoro ends up being convinced to stick around Dawn Island and Foosha Village to train for a month (and also to heal, but that's less persuasive), with Luffy following him around like a starry-eyed puppy the entire time, unless he's dragging Zoro off to fight beasts and each other in the jungle. Kicking the shit out of each other is a sign of FRIENDSHIP.

Seeing Luffy's burgeoning fighting skills is enough to make Zoro go, "Maybe this kid is alright," and hearing Luffy talk about dreams is the beginning of Zoro's doom. But he's not going to sign up until Luffy is more impressive! If Luffy wants him for his crew, he has to come find Zoro when he sets out on his own adventure. And Luffy agrees this is reasonable even if he's going to miss his new best friend sooooo badly.

Now, I'm a Zolu fan (ace-spectrum Luffy), so I like to imagine Zoro and Luffy having a really dorky teenage romance between future monsters here. If only because when Luffy and Nami bust into Captain Morgan's Marine Base, Luffy can go (after 2 years of having Makino keep track of Zoro in the newspapers), "Oh, my boyfriend is here!!! 😃 I wonder how much stronger he's gotten? I need to impress him so that he'll join my pirate crew!!!" And Nami and Coby can be like, "What the FUCK are you talking about?! The PIRATE HUNTER?! The demon who kills pirates?!" Luffy: "Yeah! ❤️"

Even better if Luffy has already gone to a couple different islands (with or without Coby), loudly going, "I'm going to be King of the Pirates! And also, HAS ANYONE SEEN MY BOYFRIEND?! He has green hair and three swords and he gets lost really easily!" Or maybe Luffy was just shouting this on Alvida's ship and around the town under Morgan's control? It doesn't really matter. It just has to be loud enough that Garp finally catches wind of this situation.

So I was thinking about death (as one does) when I remembered something from the Live Action One Piece

So I checked to see if I was hallucinating and;

Nope, I wasn't but you know what this can imply???

Luffy and Zoro could have meet earlier on.

So my brain is like 'ah yes, au where everything is the same but Zoro and Luffy had meet earlier when he was at the Goa Kingdom'

(I don't know how old zoro was when he left his village but I do want to set this after Ace had gone out to sea, so Luffy is about 15? I believe? And Zoro is like... 17)

(Also- is there a marine base at at Goa Kingdom-?? I know it's protected by the marines but a base there?)

Reblogging this cause I've decided to watch one piece anyways

They didn't animate my favourite manga moment aww-

In the anime it's just "get lost" or something before rika shows up

OH OH AND ANOTHER THING I NOTICED-

(ouh you screenshot this- shaddup!)

It's probably because of censorship but this makes the fanfics alot more sense cause in manga-wise;

Yeah!

Look man, I was confused when reading those fanfics because I was so sure Zoro told Luffy to commit Harakiri (which btw a quick google search told me it's a ritual suicide by disembowelment with a sword, formerly practised in Japan by samurai as an honourable alternative to disgrace or execution) instead of apologising if he ever got in his way.

Also we were introduced to nami waaay earlier which I like her outfit. She should wear that again :D

My ass CANNOT watch one piece because believe me when I say WILL record every zolu interaction there is

And my storage is does not have the capacity for these gay asses

It's been a hot minute since I heard from Kirishima

How tf is he

He holding out good?

I don't think you understand the chokehold your AUs have on me.

Btw how's that dream dream no mi au comjng along?

Also I saw the voting poll. SANJI AND ZORO ARE GOING THROUGH IT

Oh thank you so much!!!! I’m glad you’re enjoying them.

I have a lot of thoughts on the dream dream fruit. And I’ll share two scenes with you

I know how I want it to start off.

I think it will start off with the crew getting attacked but a large “pirate crew.” While they out number the strawhats they are nowhere near their skill level, so the crew is having some fun showing off. Even Nami and Usopp and having some fun trying out different moves and showing off their skills to the other crew members. (In a serious fight they never get to see what the rest of the crew is doing, I can see them taking turns in a less serious fight and applauding after fancy moves)

And it’s all fun and games at first. Until Zoro and Sanji start counting KOs (they’ve been doing it the whole time for the whole crew, but Zoro definitely got the most in one move and now Sanji has to top it and it’s a constant back and forth)

Luffy moves to take his turn sweeping most of the enemies from the deck. While he finishes his move Zoro and Sanji start fighting each other. It’s stupid and petty, nothing out of the ordinary for the two. Luffy sees them and starts to laugh until he spots and enemy flying straight at Zoro.

He moves without thinking. He knows Zoro can watch his own back but he’s the captain, he takes care of his crew. Plus Zoro and Sanji are having fun, no need to interrupt them. So he blocks the hit.

And he drops like a stone.

Zoro sees the hit coming. He’s already pivoting to intercept it when Luffy blocks it. He can see Luffy moving to block it to, he’s got crazy observation haki, but he also trust Luffy. These are weaklings, no one here should be a threat and if Luffy wants to fight more Zoro’s not going to stop him. That is until Luffy drops, and Zoro’s world comes to a hault.

Because that hit was suppose to be for him. Luffy just protected him and got hurt in the process. This shouldn’t be happening. All of these “pirates” were weak. Not a single one is anywhere near the strawhats, Luffy shouldn’t be hurt.

But he is.

And he’s not getting up.

Zoro’s enraged and immediately goes after the perpetrator but they’re gone. A blink and you miss them disappearance. And it looks like the rest of the “pirates” are gone as well. Zoro and Sanji want to give chase but Robin wants to know what happened to Luffy before they rush in.

This is of course when they realize Luffy’s dream has been stolen.

Ive been playing with the idea that the devil fruit user can use the persons dream to control them, but maybe that’s after they’ve had possession of their dream for a while. (Still playing with it)

Another scene I’ve been thinking about is when they are trying to get Luffy’s dream back.

There first attempt ends with them popping someone’s dream and finding out they can destroy them.

I think in the second attempt they are able to knock the devil fruit user away from Luffy’s dream. But the Bubble almost pops via crashing into the environment.

Zoro moves to get in between Luffy’s dream and whatever might harm it. He drops his swords because there is no way he is destroying Luffy’s dream. And the bubble bumps into him (maybe he even catches it in his hands)

But the moment he touches it the world whites out for a second and when it comes back into view, he’s not where he once was.

Instead he’s standing on a beach besides Luffy. Shanks is a cross from them, wearing Luffy’s straw hat taking about how proud he is of Luffy for becoming the King of the pirates.

Before Zoro can get his bearing Mihawk joins them and Shanks turns to his old friend and immediately roasts him about losing his title to Zoro. And wait a second when did Zoro beat Mihawk? Like he would remember that!

But Luffy’s laughing (and it’s the first time he’s heard his laugh in days) and he smiles and says “of course Zoro won, he’s the first mate of the king of the Pirates, and the world’s greatest swordsman.” And he turns and just beams at Zoro. (And it’s the first time since this nightmare started that Luffy talked about his dream, not only that but believed in his dream AND in Zoro’s) it’s enough to make tears well because he’s missed this Luffy so much.

And as he looks around he can see their whole crew is around them. Nami is showing off her map to Vivi. Sanji and Zeff are together cooking food for the group, and he can hear Sanji telling Zeff about where the All Blue is. Copper is talking to Law about how to cure every disease. Usopp and Yasopp are talking and he can hear Usopp telling his Father about his adventures as a Brave warrior of the sea. Robin is talking to a group of their friend (Yamato/red hair pirates/heart pirates) about the true history of the world. Franky’s next to her blubbering about how his ship made it around the world. Brook is playing Music to Laboon who’s hanging out in the water. Jinbei is talking to Sabo about Fishman and Human equality.

And it’s perfect. Their crew is happy, and safe, and their dreams have all come true.

And Luffy is next to him smiling that grin that puts the sun to shame. And Ace is walking over the join the conversation.

And Ace is walking over the join the conversation……

And just like that it snaps into place that this isn’t real.

The world starts to fade out and when it fades back in Zoro’s back on the battle field. He’s on his knees with his swords around him. Right where he dropped them to make sure he didn’t pop Luffy’s dream

But Luffy’s bubble isn’t there and for a heart stopping moment he wonders if he popped it. In trying to save it did he destroy it?

And then Sanji’s in front of his screaming at him, because what the hell man! You had Luffy’s dream in your hands and you froze!?!? The devil fruit user took Luffy’s dream back and you did nothing to stop them!!!!

Nami comes over and yells at Sanji to stop because Zoro hasn’t moved. What if the devil fruit user took his dream to!

But Zoro pushes to his feet his brain finally catching up with everything that just occurred. And he know two things. 1) he’s getting Luffy’s dream back even if it kills him (he already knew this but now he’s got more motivation. He’s seen Luffy’s dream and it’s beautiful and no one gets to take that from his captain) 2) he knows why Luffy doesn’t believe in their dreams any more. It’s because their dreams have become part of Luffy’s. Luffy’s dream can’t come true unless they all accomplish their goals as well.

Ya but these are some of the ruff ideas I’m playing with.

I hope you like them and let me know if I should expand on anything!!!

Maybe consuming media where parallel dimensions exist has rotten my brain. (The spider verse, years of comic book, au fanfics) but worlds were little changes change the whole world are just fascinating to me.

I’ve seen stories were Luffy is the one that dies at Marineford.where Luffy is the older sibling. Where Shanks or someone else arrives in time to save Ace. I’ve seen Kuina lived and takes Zoro’s place on the straw hats. But what I haven’t seen is a reverse straw hat crew.

Let me explain myself.

Shanks isn’t the only Yonko vacationing in the east blue, white beard takes a break there as well. Meeting a young Ace. This Whitebeard knows his time is limited but sees a future of Ace. He can’t take the boy with him but they promise to meet again one day when Ace is a great pirate, a pirate great enough to take Whitebeard place in the world. The rest of the back story (meeting Luffy, Sabo, everything) stays intact and Ace sets out at age 17. (I was going to have him meet Shanks instead of Luffy but Luffy and Shanks’ relationship is important to me and will play a role later)

Where he meets 17 year old Kuina. (She is 1 year older then Zoro, and he was one year younger then Ace so they would be the same age) in this world Zoro is the one who died. He was the only one who believed that she could be the strongest swordsman, he didn’t care about her gender. They promised that one of them would be the strongest swordsman in the world and then he died. Now at 17 she is on a journey to be the world’s best swordsman woman.

The two start traveling together where they meet Nojiko a thief, she’s an okay navigator but not as good as her sister. She speaks fondly of her sister but doesn’t mention her village (or the pirates there) Ace instantly likes her, no it’s not because he gets to trade stories with her about how great Luffy is vs how great Nami is. Kuina enjoyed their stories but her heart hurts a bit at the fact she doesn’t have the same number of stories of her ‘dumb little sibling.’ But strangely Nojiko only tells stories about young Nami.

The keep going and meet a sickly girl named Kaya. She was visiting the shipyard while they were looking to get a new ship. Kuina recognizes Kaya’s brand new butler as Kuro and none of the crew are going to let him take advantage of Kaya. (Ace and Nojiko are over protective siblings and Kaya is the same age/a year younger than their siblings. And Kuina has to much honor plus she just really likes to fight) they save Kaya but the girl realizes that there is no life for her in Syrup village. There is just to many traumatic memories her so she joins the crew. Bring with her a brand new ship and a boat load of beri. (She leaves behind most of her fortune to Usopp and Merry, knowing they will take care of it until Usopp is ready to sail.

The crew travels on to a floating restaurant where they meet red leg Zeff and his apprentice Reiju. Her backstory is the same and Sanji, her and Zeff trapped in an island. It isn’t until much later that the crew finds out about her connections to Germa 66 and what happened to her beloved little brother Sanji.

The Baratie arc goes about the same with Kuina getting defeated by Mihawk, and Nojiko stealing the boat and the money.

The track Nojiko down and find out what Arlong did to her village. How he killed her sister to send a message to the village and imprisoned her mother. Using Bell-meré’s Marie Knowledge to expand his territory and threatening Nojiko and the villages lives to keep her cooperating. So much about Nojiko makes sense. How she only tells stories about young Nami, why she cared so much about Kaya’s money. As they learn about her trying to buy her village back.

Arlong obviously breaks their deal. How can he keep Bell-meré in line without her daughter and village as leverage.

Needless to say Ace, Kuina, and Reiju burn the place to the ground (Kaya helps as she can but she’s still getting used to fighting)

The sail on with Bell-meré’s blessing.

When they get to the grand line they meet two fools named Mr. Nine and Miss Wednesday. But it’s not what you think. Mr. Nine is Koza Viva told him about the danger their country was in and he went in her stead. (At this time he is 17 and she is 13, but when he left he would have been 15 and she 11)

The crew agrees to help him, (Ace is thrilled to have another dude on the team) when they meet and mysterious women with white hair called Miss All Sunday. The encounter is very similar to Robins introduction.

They sail on to little Garden. Kaya has a great time meeting the giant (thrilled to tell Usopp about them one day) but also starts to really work on mastering a weapon.

They leave with a slowly sickening Nojiko. They stop and Drum Island to get her help where they meet and eccentric Doctor who helps them. His name? Dr. Hiriluk. He tells them about how he was deathly ill when his son cured him by accidentally giving him a Devil fruit. A Zoan type fruit. Specifically the, reindeer model. Unfortunately his son was killed by Drum’s island king for being a ‘monster’

Needless to say Wapol gets his butt handed to him. Dr. Hitiluk, seeing his country free and his dream fulfilled decided to join up with the crew to love out choppers dream of curing all diseases.

They continue on, freeing Arabasta. With Koza staying behind to help rebuild his country, but he might rejoin 👀. As their sailing away Someone makes themselves know. The mysterious white hair woman is one their ship and joining their crew, her name? Nico Olivia.

I’ll cover more of this later. I have so many ideas. But all of this to say. Imagine this crew meeting the straw hat crew. Something crosses their Dimensions into one another and Luffy gets to see Ace, Zoro gets to see and adult Kuina. Nami gets to see Nojiko and hear about their mothers blessing their life of piracy. Usopp and Kaya meeting when both of them are competent warriors of the sea. Reiju reuniting with Her brother Sanji (I haven’t even told you what happened to Sanji in this world!) Chopper and Hiriluk. Robin and Olivia.

(I did this for Ace and Luffy and Zoro and Kuina but I think Sanji, Robin and Chopper will rip my heart out more)

Let me know what you think.
