In a headcanon a while ago you said that some of the more rowdy Pokians would bet a life on certain things. I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that Hoku is one of the more rowdy ones, because Hoku is definitely the type of person who would die out of pure pettiness.

“I’ll bet you four lives you can’t even spell Artopoki. Go ahead. Write it. Right now. You can even use my blood--”

“Hoku, no.”

“Oh, that’s an authentic sword, huh? I’ll bet you five lives that--”

“HOKU, NO.”

One of my kink is ppl meeting Hoku and going “it’s been a while since I’ve seen one of you”

i can get with this kink anon

[alkhale]

Headcanon: Hoku once drew a picture of her, Sabo, Ace and Luffy and gave it to Makino, who has framed in the bar.

hokucanon accepted

literally makes me think of that one piece party panel with the photos of them omg

translation: they’re basically all just like “excuse me, can I have a copy of that photo pls”

hoku and nami are that imma bout to ruin this mans whole career @ every casino owner alive.

hokucanon accepted this is prime nami/hoku dynamics content

Ok but does Hoku have Shanks’ bounty hung up in her room somewhere? Maybe a little wrinkled cause she tried to throw it away a couple times (before eventually taking it back out of the bin and back onto the wall)

she’s tried looking for several on her own but they’re strangely hard to come by, when she got the chance to see one, it was too hard for her to grab it because of marines patrolling so she drew one up herself and keeps that safe in her sketchbook and works very hard to make sure no one else sees it

other wanted posters she’s been able to snatch however, such as Mihawk’s rare and no longer valid one and Ace’s, she keeps tucked in another sketchbook with the rest too

Ahhh, I just thought of something: in one of Oda's color spreads where the Strawhats are with animals that resemble them, like a monkey for luffy, cat for nami, zoro = tiger, what would Hoku's be?

Hoku’s a dumb white panther (essentially an albino jaguar, but missing the pigment that causes this ghost coloring so you can’t see her jaguar pattering as well) with the thin pattern of the usual panther spots in a bloody red and her markings.

(I always picture the goddess as a black panther or something along those lines so that’s why hahaha)

-there’s lowkey a fat au i wanna do about this lol

[alkhale]

I can kinda see Hoku getting a bandanna or something like that to put on her head, and that way she has something there but she can keep her place as the designated hat rack of the One Piece universe.

I CAN SEE THAT TOO THATS SO CUTE ASDIWAKNCFKERGNTLR

teacher teacher teacher i have a sad hokucanon about how, since hoku honey thinks sabo is dead, she makes little dolls of him with his clothes and stuff, and then leaves them in places with good views, especially of the sky or sea. she even makes an openable pocket in the back wear she writes short letters to him since she thinks. you know, that he’s dead. there’s at least one mini-sabo in every place she’s been,

ah, anon, you have good taste

If possible though, since Hoku isn’t the best with needles and things, I’d say that she instead draws/paints/graffitis his hat onto different places following what you said, where she thinks he’d like it the most. Places that remind her of being free because it’s what he wanted more than anything else. Then she’ll leave small memos behind in the cracks and places beside them with the written lines hoping he’s getting it from up there too.

. . . . .

“Hoku, what are you drawing over there?”

Hoku hummed, finishing up the little bit of black to the edge of his hat, making sure it finished nice and clean against the brick wall over looking the ocean’s harbor. Nami came to stand beside her, arms daintily full with her latest purchases with Sanji carrying the rest several feet behind.

“Hoku Honeyyyy! There you are!”

“Just finishing up here,” Hoku said. She pulled a small paper from her pocket, slipping it into the cracks of the brick wall. She pressed her fingers to her lips and then to her heart and then placed it onto the painted hat, offering it a small smile before she sat back up.

“Did you find anything good?” Hoku said, tucking her brush behind her ear. Nami reached out, tucking some of Hoku’s hair behind that and giving her a bit of a thoughtful look before she simply smiled.

“Plenty. I’ll tell you all about how I bartered with the cashier,” Nami slung her arm through hers and Hoku didn’t complain, letting her pull her along as Sanji sang praises behind them. “I even picked some things out for you for the right price.”

“Well, I gotta like them first before I pay.”

“Well, you’ll just have to try them on first then, won’t you?”

Hoku grinned carelessly while Nami offered her a cheeky smirk in return, tugging Hoku closer to her side.

A small black top hat sat in the corner of the brick wall, painted in permanently overlooking the sea. A pair of goggles etched around its brim. Unhindered by anything else.

Free as a bird.
