Every single Captain and their first mate in one piece, Even the evil ones too. it’s actually kind of concerning.

The only possible exceptions to this I can think of are Blackbeard and Shiryu of the rain. And who ever was the first mate of the Rocks Crew. Both crews that were just a slapdash of strong people. Their captains are essentially Pokémon catchers that value nothing but strength and destruction.

My favorite Captain and First mates tho are;

- Luffy & Zoro

- Shanks & Beckman

- Roger & Rayleigh

- Law & Bepo

And honorable mention to a non captain and first mate duo that still give the same vibes

- Sengoku & Garp.

But yeah just the never ending devotion of a loner and the extrovert they swore to follow to the ends of the world for the rest of their lives and probably after

Mihawk after losing his job, due to very justifiable reasons, and becoming a wanted criminal again on his way to a new gig that will allow him to once again resume his hunting of marines for sport but this time he gets a nice little bounty he can claim

Michael and Adam.

You get the themes the poem is right there. Michael was the first being ever made by an imperfect god. He in himself is practically a big bang how do you begin to explain that to someone? Let alone the one other person you’re stuck in a lifetime of isolation with?

Siblings

Growing up with a sibling is like being the only people on a stranded boat.....How do you live with them? How could you ever live without them?

@ritikajyala's full post check it out, it's great!

Do I even need to explain all the ways in which this is Perona and Zoro or does it just eat you alive the way it does me.

Like they are stranded together on a deserted island in the ruins of a kingdom that destroyed itself. The only other person is a dangerous uncaring man, who kind of feels like a father, but could so easily kill the both of us if he wanted and there'd be nothing I could do to protect you.

It's us versus him but he takes care of us and doesn't care that we argue all the time. We trade insults like breathing and you have no reason to still be here but you bandage my injuries everyday all the same and no matter how much you complain you still carry around a first aid kit .

The old man's a lunatic but I think he's lonely, we do most things together, all of us, even though we don't have too. I do your share of the chores when you beg and pretend to hate it, you make me a snack when I can’t move and complain about it.

We curse each other out, we sit down for dinner, I'm leaving soon. We have separate lives that weren't meant to be intertwined forever but some part of my string will forever be tangled up in yours.

The day before I leave you bake a cake I don't like but eat anyway.

I'm glad we had this.

we'll both think

I don't think I could have survived without you

I can very much see Shanks, in a fit, yelling this at Mihawk as they are once again in the middle of an argument Shanks would very much like to not have, about how Mihawk hopes to die

Do I even need to explain all the ways in which this is Michael or can you see it? Does it rip you apart or are you normal?

Like this is him after the cage. He’s the last archangel all his siblings are dead. God abandoned him for a millennia, and is still missing. Heaven is dying, he needs to go back.

Or he could not. He could stay here, have this

For the first time in his incomprehensingly long life, he has a choice, a real honest to god choice, and as he looks at the boy infront of him, completely housing the greasiest burger he’s ever seen, he can’t pretend he hasn’t already made it.

For the first time since the universe blasted into existence in a bang of light. Michael chooses himself.

Michael pre-cage and Michael post-cage

Michael in the cage doesn’t like to think about God.

Sorry but can’t you see Roger, Shanks or Luffy having this exact conversation

This is their inherited will, this is the string that ties them together across generations. bound by shared love and ideology, it’s as real as the hat that sits on all their heads.

Shanks. Roger and Luffy lifetimes apart but under the same sky, smiling out at the same ocean, in search of the next adventure. Free as can be.

The love of a ship, the freedom of the ocean, the world as an enemy . Something tells me Jack, sorry Captain Jack, and Luffy would have been really good friends.
