Iāve been watching One Piece for the past couple weeks now, (Currently on episode 225) and Iāve been absolutely obsessed with the possible agere dynamics of the strawhats so I wanted to do some general headcannons for the crew!!! Iāll definitely add Franky and Brook when I meet them, but Iām only on season nine so Iām yet to know much about those two.
Obviously I had to start with the captain! I see Luffy as a flip, probably 3-7 and all he wants to do is play! I think heād hang around Zoro the most while regressed, but he generally likes being around the whole crew! Heās super social and I donāt think heād be embarrassed about regressing at all. But he had to be watched closely at all times because he gets into even more trouble than usual when heās small, heās definitely fallen overboard before because he was playing on the ships railing. He watches over Zoro a lot when heās not regressed though, always playing low energy games with him since honestly, Zoroās pretty sleepy when small.
Zoroās a flip with a caregiver lean, mostly because heās embarrassed he regresses at all. Itās not very strong of him to do, and if heās gonna be the worldās greatest swordsman he canāt have any weakness. He likes taking care of little Luffy though, itās nice for him to take care of his captain like that, he feels super helpful! When he does regress, I think Zoro is 3-6, heās a bit younger than Luffy but he still acts all big and tough when heās little. He loves being given little tasks when heās small so he can still be helpful to the crew as well! Itās better to just let him honestly, even something as small as telling him to drink water and praising him for it makes him happy. He takes a lot of naps too though, heās a pretty sleepy guy.
I see Nami as a toddler regressor, 2-4. When sheās not regressed though sheās happy to babysit. Sheās pretty good at it too, being all gentle with the little ones. She really likes to draw when sheās small! Normally sheād be making maps of the sea, but when sheās regressed sheās too tiny for that, so she draws little maps of different rooms on the ship, or sometimes she draws her crew mates! One time she drew a āfamily portraitā of everyone together and Sanji put it on the fridge. Itās one of the only drawings up there thatās never switched out for new ones.
I think heād be a flip with a caregiver lean like Zoro, except he isnāt embarrassed about regressing, he just prefers to take care of others. When he does regress though, I think heād have an age range of 4-10, he and Luffy regress around the same age decently often. Heās more of a big brother caregiver than anything else, he likes to entertain the little ones with his stories. Normally theyād of course realize none of itās true, but itās so fascinating when theyāre all little. He tells awesome bedtime stories. He also plays with Luffy and Zoro pretty often big and small, and tries to guide them towards safer activities that wonāt result in any injuries or people falling overboard.
Sanjiās just a baby. 0-3. Itty bitty and the clingiest little thing youāve ever seen. He always wants to be held, he doesnāt even mind if itās Zoro holding him, as long as he knows he isnāt alone. Poor baby has nightmares constantly too, memories of the rock he was stuck on, of his biological family, (I got spoilers but idk everything about that) lots of yucky dreams. He also cries pretty often, but he can usually be soothed pretty easily. He always wants to be around either Nami or Robin, but others presence is welcome too. He babbles angrily at Zoro a lot, and he just nods along with a smug look because heās sooooo annoying. āUh huh, wow really?ā It makes little Sanji so frustrated but itās all in good fun.
I donāt really think Chopper regresses necessarily, maybe sometimes but itās pretty rare for him to fully regress, he mostly age dreams.He likes being babied anyways though, heāll say he doesnāt but he actually loves the affection. Doctorine took care of him well enough, but she wasnāt necessarily the most comforting person, and whenever he went with her to the village he was still called a monster. So having someone actually treat him gently like heās a little baby is really nice and he likes it a lot. Iād say his age range is 1-2 though.
Sheās 100% a caregiver. She enjoys looking after the little ones on the ship, and since her presence is just naturally soothing, itās pretty easy for her to calm them down when they get upset. She doesnāt have a designated little,really she takes care of anyone who needs it. More often than not itās Sanji and Luffy since they regress the most.Though the others come to her for comfort when they need it, or sheāll seek them out if she feels somethingās off.
This is so rushed itās like one am but I just had to make this because thereās not nearly enough agere content for one piece, which actually really surprised me for how popular of an anime it is.
