Bsd Is Really Never Beating The Allegations, Is It?

Luffy and the east blue crew 👒⚔️🍊🎯🚬

It breaks my heart that if young Akutagawa met young Atsushi he would've taken him in and cared for him in the way he did the other orphans

Color spread redraw!

It's the ginger birthday y'all

zoro and law were so unnecessarily rude to tashigi in punk hazard, and my first reaction was to be irked by the misogynistic aspect of it. oda’s treatment of tashigi’s character is questionable, but there’s actually more to it than her being a woman

as we know, zoro can’t stand that she looks like kuina while being a weak crybaby: she vindicates kuina’s fears that women can’t be strong warriors. being so condescending towards her is a way for him to assert that she is not kuina (because kuina was so much stronger than him)

law is trickier because he is a douche to everyone & has no particular connection to tashigi. but the words he tells tashigi also happen to be the philosophy of doflamingo, the man he hates most in the entire world.

why would he think the same way as the man who caused him so much pain? law is obsessed by revenge against doflamingo for killing corazon. in doflamingo’s own words, cora was a weak person; he didn’t get to choose how he died. the injustice of it fuelled everything law undertook for the second half of his life

so why is law parroting that philosophy? maybe because fighting against a clumsy, emotional marine reminded him of the person he lost, and why he lost him

someone who also happened to be a weakling fighting for a desperate cause, who cried for sick children abandoned by the world

tashigi is a character of her own with her own goals, but others keep seeing their dead loved ones in her: she reminds zoro and nami of their best friend and mother respectively.

not to say oda isn’t misogynistic (he is), but tashigi’s weakness specifically mirrors the fragility of other characters who unjustly died because of that fragility, and yet changed everything for the people in their lives

THEY ARE BACK!! I can't believe my two fav characters of my two fav mangas are back on the same month!! And after so much time!

volatile times

All blue 🐠🐟

Imagine being Collun & you're like 1 & barely gaining consciousness & you're starting to realize that while all the other kids get to ride piggy back on their dad's back yours is so tiny he rides on your back so he can like burp you after you drink a bottle & he can barely even hold up the bottle for you, but he's still your daddy & you still cry for him when you're scared & he's just this little guy who means everything to you, but like also you accidentally sat on him once & he would've suffocated to death if your mommy hadn't been there to move you.

What a fucking trip man. Gaban definitely tried to give him a piggy back ride multiple times despite Ripley telling him it's not a good idea. Now he has back pain, but it's completely worth it.

For some reason, I find this scene really cute. It’s right after Usopp absolutely decks Klahadore (Captain Kuro) for running his mouth about Yasopp and even questioning if he’s really Usopp’s dad. Usopp storms off, feeling like crap, sitting at the cliff overlooking the shore, tossing rocks into the water—when suddenly, Luffy pops up right in his space and goes, “Here you are!” because he’d been looking for him. Not just to find him, but because he knew Usopp needed validation. He knew Usopp was Yasopp’s son, and more importantly, he knew Usopp was his. Luffy could tell Usopp felt like sh*t, and in the most Luffy way possible, he sought him out—not with a big speech, not with some grand gesture, but just by showing up. Because sometimes, that’s all you need.

People love to downplay Usopp and act like he’s not one of Luffy’s closest friends, but moments like this prove otherwise. His arc really highlights just how selfless Luffy is when it comes to the people he truly cares about. In this scene, Usopp was already his, and Luffy had already claimed him—Usopp just hadn’t caught on yet. Luffy had basically said, "You're my friend. I like you. And I'm gonna help you." And Usopp, completely oblivious, just screams at Luffy for scaring him.

Honestly, isn’t that the sweetest thing? That’s why, when they argue and clash, it just hits different. Because they love each other—sometimes a little too much, to the point where they don’t always know how to give each other what they need. But that’s what makes them them.

People say Zoro and Luffy are in sync, that they’re soulmates in battle, but Usopp is the one who can hurt Luffy the most—yet also lift him up in ways no one else can. Yeah, Luffy’s the captain, and he’s supposed to be mature and responsible, but Usopp is the one who reminds him that he’s still just a 19-year-old. That sometimes, things aren’t that deep. But other times, they are, and Luffy needs someone to tell him that.

Usopp is the one who looks at the insanity of the Grand Line and says, “This sh*t isn’t normal.” And I think that’s what truly makes him Luffy’s in a way no one else is. Even if he can’t support him like his wings in battle, Usopp is the one who, in a moment like Marineford, could have told him, “What happened to you wasn’t normal. And you don’t have to pretend it is.

That’s why Usopp is his.
