SHACHI SAYS TRANS RIGHTS!!!!!!! 🏳️‍⚧️

I hate shanks twin so much

this made me laugh out loud, thank you anon

seeing he's the leader of the god's knights it's a sentiment i completely understand and share. however i'm still excited to see how this whole thing plays out, it might be an appealing subplot storyline, and i also can't wait to see how shanks will react to all this lmao. i love analyzing shanks through his reactions and this seems like it will be quite the wild ride for him lol

Thank you for explaining heavy on shipping! It was so sweet and nice ♥️

no problem at all!! fandom lingo isn't always straightforward so it's good that you asked! and you're so nice too <3

This man I stg I saw him once and instantly fell omg I wanna kiss his NOSE AAA

thinking about little luffy being so interested in the beetles and butterflies he saw around in the woods but always frustrated bc he couldn't learn more about them. so one morning ace and sabo secretly go to a library while luffy is still sleeping to steal take some books about entomology and luffy is so so happy he hugs them so hard they can't breathe (ace complains loudly right after that but sabo can see him smiling against his shoulder when he thinks no one is watching him)

Hi 😊👋 I'm a huge fan of Law too. I've just finished reading Law novel too. Maybe you want to share your thoughts on this asks:

Does Law see his crew as subordinates or friends? Would you say that Law has a weakness for people who have a trauma too? 🤔

i'm sure law sees them all as his friends.

at the start of the novel, when law asks bepo, shachi and penguin if they want to stay with him and wolf, it's not because law and wolf actually need someone that can help them with their tasks, it's just because law wants to offer them a safe place to stay, but he's not in touch with his emotions enough to admit it. when he recruits them, he even calls them his subordinates explicitly, but it's clearly just a part of his façade; again, he's not ready to admit he cares about them yet. sure enough, by the end of the first novel, he refers to them as his friends, and has matured enough to admit he loves them and realize that he can count on them. also, the fact law often seems to separate from his crew before he gets into any dangerous situation is kind of relevant to this conversation: he prefers to go solo or to form a temporary alliance with other pirate crews because he doesn't want to put his crew in danger, not because he thinks they aren't strong enough. he always tries to keep his crew safe no matter what, because they're more than allies to him, they're his friends, his family, and the only people he has left. this is also the reason the clash against the blackbeard pirates is so heartbreaking: law tried his best to protect his crew, because he didn't want to, once again, experience the loss of the people he loves most, but he couldn't do anything to prevent it.

i do think law finds himself drawn to other people with trauma, especially if their trauma is in any way related to their families. even though law always tries to hide his actions behind the "i acted on a whim" excuse, it's clear that his empathy gets the best of him when he has to choose whether to recruit someone for his crew. we've seen this with every crew member with a canon backstory: first it was bepo, who set sail to try and find his brother and found himself stranded and alone; then it was penguin and shachi, who lost their families and ended up being used and abused by the adults that should have protected them; and now, in the newest chapter, it's hakugan, who lost his parents and has to bear the responsibility of raising his little sister alone. all of them are scarred and survived multiple traumatic events. law sees his reflection in his crewmates, when he looks into their eyes he can see the little boy he once was, scared, alone and devoid of purpose. that's why he's so determined to help them, and offers them a place in his crew with no hesitation: he wants to be to them what cora was to him, even though he probably doesn't realize it.

thank you so much for your question, anon!

DID WE JUST GET NEW LAW CONTENT??? AM I DREAMING

i would love to share my thoughts on the shanks twin theory (which is now apparently Very Real and Very Much Not A Theory Anymore). but i will not. i will talk about it when we have more info though trust me

Do you see Law as ace (sexual)? 👀

i personally don't, but i like the headcanon! i see him as allosexual and alloromantic. i feel like it's easy for him to experience attraction, he just forces himself to keep it very private. he has so much love to give, he's just afraid of letting it out because of what happens to all the people he loves. that's tragic but also weirdly beautiful to me. i love law so much

heart pirates dumpppp :D
