things i did that i believe the strawhat crew would do!
luffy: watched multiple people stand on coracles (search up plastic versions or "how hard is it to balance on a coracle?" and you'll get why that's a disaster) and wanted to join in on the fun, knowing damn well i still had glasses on. immediately fell off while clutching my glasses, exclaimed i was fine, and then took a while to get back on my coracle with the help of two people. the next year, i got the hang of it and led a coracle onslaught against a poor canoe crew because i wanted to and we had a splash war. fun times!
nami: did a really meaningful interview for my theatre program (which i love dearly!). at the end of it, when they asked me and the guy i was partnered with about anything else we wanted to say, i did a beautiful speech about giving the program just one chance because it would be unforgettable and the most wonderful experience of your life... and then went "also, money pls?" with a pouty face and begging hands. mind you, my theatre teacher then just had to tell the film crew that i do this a lot. she just had to bring up our summer trip last year where i went swinging from like 12-15 feet up in the trees and instead of acting nonchalant, i screamed "PLEASE GIVE [insert theatre name] MONEY PLEASE GIVE US MONEY!" to the rest of the camp. yeah. i did an ad from the air.
zoro: have done my kickboxing classes with a strained back shoulder thing and fully let the teacher scold me for "slacking" bc i just awkwardly accepted that he didn't hear me tell him that. also did that class once with a sprained left wrist and fully accepted I'd just be grimacing my way through jabs.
usopp: once saved a handball pe game by blocking the ball multiple times with inventive techniques... that included my face. my team won our tournament in the end but to what cost of my poor sore nose? and it gets worse. i am a constant glasses wearer. you know, and i know, and every one of us wearing glasses knows there was an indent as well for the rest of my classes. i lied i was fine but like... OW.
sanji: once emptied out my family's spaghetti stash all by myself because every time i was alone, i would get hungry and bored and eventually got over my worry that i wasn't splitting anything evenly with my brother or my parents. i tested so many recipes. some were awful (do not put sesame oil in without spoons or holding yourself back) and some were incredible even if basic. i love my pasta in tomato sauce with brown butter and gochujang. also, never added oregano despite it being in my house. i guess i forgot it existed.
chopper: once got so into a game of capture the flag as a kid that i just genuinely ran around saving everyone i could and then cried when people did dramatic sacrifices and got thrown in jail. i was a very emotional and dramatic little 9 year old. also, we were in color teams so you can imagine how much funnier the image gets.
