This is a blog for my One Piece OC, 'White Wolf' Blizzard. Blizzard was born on Coral Island in the Grand Line, the oldest of the litter, but also the runt. Also, he carries within him the blood of a white wolf named Tundra. Because of this, no one wanted to adopt Blizzard out of prejudice of his wolf parentage. Eventually, all his brothers and sisters were adopted and Blizzard's mother's owner was forced to abandon him, for he could not afford to take care of two dogs. However, Blizzard's future was not all dark, for he soon met a man named Robby Rivet and his wife, Hilary, who adopt him and take him home to Rivet Island. One day, Robby decides to gather up some of his neighbors to form the Rivet Pirates, Blizzard being among them, and go out to find the One Piece, Gold Roger's legendary treasure. During the voyage, Blizzard was trained by Robby to kill Marines using a dog whistle. Unfortunately, the first attempt was disastrous. Blizzard, still a puppy back then, attacked and killed many Marines and even a few members of his own crew. Luckily, Robby manages to snap Blizzard out of it. Unfortunately, this turns out to be the last time Blizzard ever sailed with his beloved master. Blizzard gained a bounty of 130,000 Berries, and because of this, Robby feels that Blizzard is not safe on the sea with him. Thus, he leaves Blizzard with Hilary and promises to return for him one day. He leaves Blizzard his necklace as a reminder of that promise. Blizzard waits 3 years for Robby to return, keeping faithful and loyal to him the whole time. Unfortunately, those 3 years were not the best one of his life. When Blizzard is only 1-year-old, he seeks companionship from the local dogs. However, led by a vicious Doberman Pinscher named Rio, they quickly ostracize and beat him within an inch of life, knowing of his wolf blood. This breaks Blizzard's spirit to the point where he no longer tries to stand up to Rio and his pack. Not just that, but the whole town ridicules and ostracizes him as well due to his wolf parentage. Blizzard begins to hate all humankind because of this, with the exception of Robby and Hilary, the only humans that have shown him kindness. Little did he know that was all going to change when he met a boy in a Straw Hat. Mun's Deviantart Page: xfangheartx.deviantart.com

“Oi, buddy, what’s up?”
Luffy was a bit surprised that Blizzard approached him with such guilty-looking expression especially because the captain wasn’t the first person to scold their fluffy crewmate in general. The youngster tried to read his friend’s mind although he didn’t know well how to speak dog. However, he understood immediately that Blizzard felt bad for something so he tried to cheer him up by ruffling the white fur.
“Shishishi, whatever you’ve done no hard feelings! C’mon let’s go to the kitchen and see if Sanji would have food for both of us!”
Blizzard smiled and wagged his tail, happy to know that the straw hat wearing teen wasn’t sore with him. He then went up and licked the boy’s face, leaving a trail of slobber behind before he followed behind him.
I decided I’m going to ahead and merge my other blogs and make it my main blog for all my One Piece, Pokemon, and other stuff. So, yeah, if there are any One Piece blogs that are following this one, I’ll be making up a new URL for you guys to watch.
One aspect of One Piece I’ve never seen addressed or discussed is the contradictory nature of the Jolly Roger (or skull and crossbones) in Chopper’s flashback.
It’s presented to him as a sign of something that can overcome the impossible. Specifically, it’s a sign of a miracle cure. Because of what Chopper associates the Jolly Roger with, he ascribes the same meaning to it medically. But this turns out to be false. In the context of medicine, the Jolly Roger represents poison and death; it’s something bad.
It’s interesting that the positive interpretation Chopper had was ultimately wrong. It emphasises the need, as Kureha tells him, for knowledge as well as kindness. Having good intentions without knowledge of what it means doesn’t help anyone. Secondly, it shows that the ideology of the skull and crossbones, while a positive symbol in certain pirate settings, is not equivalent in medical settings.
I just think that’s an interesting nuance in the story that I’ve never thought about.
Happy One Piece Day! Here’s few highlights from the 20-Year Anniversary exhibit at Tokyo Tower… It was so moving to see Oda’s inked manuscripts from the earliest arcs on display, complete with all the lettering panels and correction fluid and editing notes. Here’s to two whole decades of adventures with the Straw Hats, and many happy returns!
