Thank-you to all of those who participated in the first One Piece Week! Even though I myself didn’t get to contribute to all of the days because of school, everyone’s contributions were greatly appreciated! Thank-you again and I hope do it again next year!

Fairy Adventure (One Piece x OC fanart) | ART TRADE by MajorasMasks

My part of the trade with @chechula (the OC his hers and his name is Kiwien) for Inktober, and my contribution for the "Adventure" prompt of the One Piece Week. Among @chechula’s OCs, Kiwien is probably the one I like the most. He's the king of fairies, so I immediately made the connection with the Tontatta--who were also called "fairies" by the Dressrosa people--and decided to draw him with one of them...then I added a second one for composition reasons. This scene is set after the ending of One Piece (please notice the map!  ;)   ); our spoiled princess Manshelly and poor Leo (who of course ended up carrying that heavy backpack  :P  ) decide to go on a journey around the world, and during their adventures they encounter Kiwien and ask him for directions. The book he's reading is about Devil's Fruits (in his universe, he's a member of the forest reading club). The inking is a bit messy since I used an old penbrush of mine to do it, but I had so much fun inking traditionally for once! This was supposed to be a fully traditional illustration actually, but since I was really late I decided to paint it digitally instead (I used Photoshop CS6). I hope you like it anyway!  ^^

The Man Who Wove Straw Hats (spin-off vignettes) “You sssure…this is the right—hic!—direction?”   Ace swayed and tripped on a large root, but Zoro grabbed his arm before he fell. “Just follow me,” he said with a confident expression, convinced that they had come from that way.   “B-but I thought”—Ace draped himself over his drinking companion—“we ssshould have turned left—hic!—after the sssuspended bridge…”   “You’re drunk so you can’t remember directions,” Zoro replied, proud that he could handle his drink.   “I’m pretty sssure—hic!—that we’re getting lost,” Ace insisted, resting his head on Zoro’s shoulder.   “I don’t get lost!” Zoro was going to shake him off but stopped when he realised that Ace had fallen asleep.   The swordsman sighed, and then laid the wasted man on a wooden bench: it was just a couple of planks put together, but on that side of the path a small temple (or was it a shrine? Zoro still couldn’t distinguish between the two) shielded them from the wind at least.   Zoro sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the other to wake up, but minutes passed and Ace started snoring instead. We’ll go back in the morning, he thought, and after a last glance at the shadows between the tall bamboo stems he closed his right eye and decided to take a nap too. However, his right hand rested on the hilts of his three katana; there were many enemies at Wano, and he had to be ready for any eventuality. Read more

Written for the “AU” prompt of the One Piece Week; in this alternate universe, both Rocinante and Ace are still alive, and the latter ends up bonding with Zoro at Wano.  ^^ I based these short vignettes on a friend’s comment about the main “The Man Who Wove Straw Hats” fanfic, and on @evaienna​‘s fanart of it too. My readers may also notice that I hinted to another fanfic of mine, “Wanted”.  :P I had lots of fun writing this spin-off, so I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Since I don’t have enough time to finish a new ASL fanart as I had originally planned, this will be my contribution for the “trio” prompt of the One Piece Week (and also for the last day of the ASL Bros Week, if I’m not too late for it). I made this simple animation using this fanart of mine as base. I had to use Photoshop too since SqirlzReflect doesn’t allow the selection of separate areas as far as I know, hence the low number of frames (I had to copy, frame by frame, the animated area of the central cup and paste it on the other two cups...  *faints*  )

A Study of Law - Adventure

Law was a pirate out of necessity. First he had run from the government. Then he had run from Doflamingo. There weren’t many things one could be if both the lawful and the lawless didn’t like you, so pirate it was. The submarine, similarly was a practicality. There weren’t many ships with the means to search underwater and no Devil-Fruit user could follow them into the deep abyss of the sea.

Sure, Law liked the submarine and sure he liked not having somebody to answer to, but he would be among the first to call bullshit when other pirates talked about the call of the sea and the need for adventure. Most of them, when the shit hit the fan, took their feet into their hands and ran. Or they pissed themselves.

Of course, there were some idiots who meant what they said, delusional dreamers always reaching for an unattainable goal. The sea was not conquerable and there would always be someone better and stronger than you. No, Law was not the adventurous type.

Instead, Law liked to plan, liked to dissect his enemies until he knew what made them tick, until he knew where he could put the pressure to make it hurt. He was careful though, to not break them. An opponent who had given up all hope for victory was no fun at all. There was only one person Law would wish that upon, and well, he wouldn’t be able to do that alone.

So, no; Law was not the adventurous type. It was pretty clear though that Luffy was. It was also painfully obvious, that he was one of the people who meant it, when they spoke of adventure and of the call of the sea, of the hopes and dreams that lay out there somewhere on the Grand Line.

Equally obvious was that his crew where made from the same foolishness. Some of them managed to hide it quite well, like Robin and Chopper or even Nami, but it was there all the same. It was in the sparkle in their eyes, in the grin on their lips, in the sureness of their words, in the tilt of their heads. Someday it would come crashing down around them. Same as it had come crushing down around Corazon. Same as it had come crushing down around Law’s crew when he had left them. But Law would be a greater fool to discourage them, if their need for adventure was what had made them agree to his plan. So he remained silent.

He remained silent though the whole journey to Dressrosa. He remained silent during the part on Greenbit, where he lost Usopp and Robin. He remained silent as Doflamingo shot him in front of the colosseum. He remained silent as Luffy carried him over half of the island. But then they fought. And Law didn’t want to be silent anymore.

If foolishness was what had brought the Strawhats this far – well he too could be foolish.

A Study of Law - AU

When the nights are cold and Law lies shivering on his bed on the submarine unable to find sleep; his brain likes to play a game called ‘What if’. It’s not a game Law likes to play but he has no control over his thoughts anyway and nothing else to do.

The game goes a little bit like this:

What if the tragedy of Flevlance never happened? What if they had never gotten sick? Law would have studied to become a doctor. He would have been among the very best; a surgeon. Work would come in and pile up and his patients would pay vast amounts of money just so that he could operate on them. Then the Marines would come and take him, because in this world they had the Ope Ope No Mi. They would force Law to eat it and then to study it. And then they would force him to carry out the ultimate operation on one of their high-ranking officials. If they threatened his family, if they threatened Lami – well, Law wouldn’t hesitate to kill himself. At least it would be an honorable death.

Or it would go like this:

What if Law had never escaped Doflamingo. What if Rocinante had never taken him away. Law knows that he would have risen through the ranks, Doflamingo had liked him even as a child. And at that point in life Law had no remorse, no empathy. He probably would have thought that Rocinante deserved execution, when he revealed himself to be a Marine. In this world, Law would have been like an attack dog at Doflamingo’s heel. And of course, also in this world he would be forced to eat the Ope Ope No Mi and to carry out the operation. In this world, Law wouldn’t think twice about doing it.

Or there was the one in which Law died from his sickness.

There was the one in which Law took Lami with him and almost found a cure.

There was the one in which he died together with Rocinante in the birdcage.

There was the one in which Vergo broke him and broke him and broke him.

Most of them had one thing in common, though. In all of them Law was either broken or he was dead. He liked the ones where he was dead better. It usually meant that he had secured someone else’s happiness. There are some though, in which he is happy.

There is the one where the Marine Law delivers the message to isn’t Vergo but rather some non-descript man doing his duty. They survive in that one. There is the one in which Doflamingo never knows about the Ope Ope No Mi, never hunts for it. There is the one in which Law, or another doctor, finds a cure. But Law likes these realities even less, because how is it that he has to live the one that he is living right now, if the others had been possibilities?

Wanted   Puririri-puririri-puririri...   Puririri-puririri-puririri...   Puririri-puririri-puririri... After the third ring, Sabo finally deigned to pick up the call. “What’s up?” he said vaguely in the direction of his den-den mushi. “You answered at last!” Hack complained on the other end, Sabo’s phone snail mirroring his exasperated expression. “I was training.” Sabo did not bother to conceal his annoyance at the interruption. The fishman sighed, and then said in a fatherly tone, “Don’t overdo it, Sabo. You ate the Mera Mera just a couple of days ago… Powers granted by Devil’s Fruits usually require years to master, you can’t just do it within a week!” “We don’t have years,” Sabo retorted, wiping sweat from his face. He winced slightly; the scar around his left eye was still sensitive despite being twelve years old. “So, why have you called?” he asked impatiently. “Is it not of the utmost importance, but I thought you may be interested: your and Koala’s wanted poster are on today’s newspaper.” “How much?” Sabo finally sounded interested. “Come here and see it your—” Sabo hung up the phone on him before Hack could complete his sentence. The fishman stared at the den-den mushi for a moment, and then mumbled, “Damn brat.”

I wrote this for the “wanted” prompt of the @op-rarepairweek and for the “humour” one of the One Piece Week. I’m trying to make specific contributions for these two events but a couple of them ended up overlapping.  ^^' I love writing about Koala and Sabo. They’re my OTP… Well, not exactly since I like many different pairings, but they’re very special to me. Probably, it’s because I can relate with them (I'm a revolutionary at heart!  :D  ) Anyway, I hope you’ll like this fanfic. As usual, any kind of feedback will be appreciated.  :)
