honestly it warms my heart a little how much laws gone through and how he's still a little nerd boy who loves germa comics and ninjas and as a 26 year old ex warlord captain he's enchanted mid fight I just know he collects action figurines and I just know he'd play world of warcraft after his 19 hour shifts at the hospital and I just know hes sitting there at his work desk joining the call where his unemployed acquaintance luffy introduces him to the rest of the psychos I just know he volunteers at orphanages and pet shelters and he's got a little journal where he notes down lines from books he thinks corazon would enjoy
A little something to celebrate One Piece coming back after a break, and the beginning of the final arc. I still can't believe it is going to be the final one, after all, it's the last of the Big Three that is still going. And I've been riding this train since 2004.
Gosh, I'm old.
My all time fav, Torao. A quick doodle of him, because I hardly have any time to draw these days. By "quick" I mean almost 3 hours total, we are talking my snail-like pace here.
I might have forgotten I got a tumblr account lmao.
I saw this Law ss. and had to draw my version of it!
It took. me around two months to complete, but it was. worth it! Hope you like it!
Not my art, found on pinterest and can't find where it was originally posted. Can anyone help me decipher what the artist signature says? I have been lusting over this delicious picture for 💫weeks💫 and I NEED to consume more of their artwork.
A couple weeks later, Nami was sitting on her couch with her television on, as she ate her oatmeal and drank her morning orange juice. On the screen, it showed the news from the past week, a brief overview of it, before they got to the important stuff. Something about a new ambassador, who was also a surgeon, was introduced, another thing on the kingdom the ambassador, Jinbei, used to be for was suffering a sudden turmoil, as someone had been planning on overthrowing the king. However, that turn of events had been put to a halt within one day.
Nami watched as although they seemed to be helpful, these seven men were causing a little havoc. Nami looked at the photo they had of the supposed captain of this ‘vigilante,’ as Robin put it, group. He looked remarkably like the person she had seen at the ice cream shop, and although his sunglasses covered his eyes, and a good deal of his cheeks, he was smiling, and held a hand up as if to say ‘hello’ to whomever took the photo of him. He looked like an idiot, though his voice had been so stern, and serious when she had seen him. His whole crew, so to speak, was. However, they mentioned seven, and Nami was certain she had only seen three, although there was also a sniper somewhere, so that’d make four. The other three must have been either somewhere else, or they were the brains behind the operation, Nami assumed.
She wasn’t one to like secrets, and while her neighbor’s bugged her, she also was curious on who this vigilante was. It was obvious the government wanted him dead, they literally called him a wanted criminal on the news. Though his team did help her escape the terrorist attack. She sipped on her orange juice, her oatmeal long gone, and watched as there were reports of a riot in the small country of Dressrosa, not far from The Capital. It was old news, but they were going back over it, because the ambassador, who was also the ruler of the country, though the size of a city, was making big progress in improving the happiness of the people there. Nami smiled, from the looks of it, that would be a place that Sanji would absolutely enjoy.
She stood up, and turned off her television, deciding on going on a visit to Alabasta, to see Vivi. She went upstairs, and dressed herself, before remembering she had a few maps to finish. She glanced in her cartography room, and sighed. There they were, sitting on the desk, waiting for her fingers to pick up the pen, and elegantly draw across the page. Just as she was deciding to do so, she heard her doorbell ring. She made her way back down the stairs, and opened the door, “Hello?”
“Hello, I am Captain Tashigi,” the officer with dark blue hair, tied up in a clip at the back of her head, greeted her. Her red glasses were resting just above her forehead, and she brought them down, before shifting her feet slightly.
“I’m Nami, may I help you?” Nami replied.
“Yes, there were reports of a vigilante in this area, I’m sure you know of him, we need to catch him immediately.” Captain Tashigi told her, and rested her hand on the hilt of the sword she carried, although she also carried a gun, or taser, on her belt, it was obvious she had a passion for swords. They weren’t used much anymore, with the exception of the fencing swords, in kendo, and then Zoro and his three swords.
“I hadn’t heard of a vigilante in this area, officer,” Nami politely responded, “but if I see one, I’ll be sure to let your department know.”
“Thank you for your cooperation,” Tashigi replied, and nodded her head slightly, before walking down the path to her car, and drove a little ways, slowing down in front of Luffy’s house, but on not seeing his vehicle, she sped up and went around the bend and out of sight.
Luffy wasn’t home again, Nami sighed, and closed her front door, right before another knock came to the door, and Nami opened it again, to meet with her other neighbor, a young girl with blond hair tied into two braids.
“Hello, Nami-san,” She greeted, with a smile.
“Oh, hi Conis!” Nami smiled, “you’re back!”
The girl smiled, and bent down to pet her small white dog, “Su wanted to come home, badly!” she smiled, then stood back up, “How’s the bike?”
“Oh, it’s a little rusty, I’ll be honest.” Nami responded, before gesturing inside for her neighbor to join her.
“My father can take a look at it, if you want,” Conis said, picking up Su, and following Nami inside.
“That would be great, if he wouldn’t mind, that is,” Nami smiled, and sat down on her couch, Conis took the loveseat.
“I’ll let him know then,” she smiled, “Who's the new neighbor?”
“Oh, that’s Luffy,” Nami sighed, “Sometimes I wish Vivi were back, I’ll be honest.”
“I see,” Conis frowned, looking down.
“Oh, not because I don’t want to hang out with you, Conis, it’s just he’s an idiot.” Nami shook her head, and crossed her legs.
“No, I get it, I understand,” Conis smiled, “Vivi was your friend, it would only make sense for you to want her to stay.”
Nami felt a little burdened, sure she was friends with Conis, and Vivi, but neither of them were friends with each other. They’d hear about the other, but they had never really met each other. Conis would go with her grandfather to help out on his farm, in Skypiea, quite often, so Vivi and her would never meet, unless it was passing each other on a walk, or on the road.
“Well, how was Skypiea this time?” Nami asked, “Nothing major happened, I hope.”
“No, nothing like that,” Conis smiled, “It was really peaceful actually, grandfather Gan had many new pumpkins to pick, so I had fun. Father had come with me, this time, remember?”
“Yes, of course I do,” Nami smiled back.
“It was a lot more fun with him there, since his injuries from the last time he went have healed.”
“That’s good to hear.”
About two years ago, after Nami had moved to Sabaody, and met Conis, she had left for Skypiea. Then Vivi had moved in, and that was when Nami and Vivi got close, however, Conis had her own problems in the country of Skypiea. Apparently, the new ruler there, Enel, had threatened to destroy the country. He even had a competition to see who was the bravest, and he would take them with him after he left the country to perish. Conis’ father, Pagaya, had been severely injured by the ‘game’ as Enel called it, even though he wasn’t competing. The capital city didn’t believe he’d destroy the country, until Conis was able to convince them, after ‘betraying’ them before.
Conis had led the immigrants, who hadn’t paid their dues, to the capital’s capital. It was a mountain just at the edge of the city, and that was where the epic game had taken place. Apparently, she had messed up, and told the immigrants they were to die, because Enel was just that cruel, and the whole city could have been punished for just telling the immigrants something so important. It was an awful reign, and everyone wanted Conis’ adoptive grandfather, Gan Fall, to reign again, though it didn’t seem very possible at the time. No one, outside of Skypiea, with the exception of Pagaya and Conis, knew about how this was resolved, other than Enel’s sudden departure, but, according to Conis, the immigrants, who were supposed to die, were the ones that saved them.
The country was rather peaceful again, and Nami hoped her friend would take her with them on their trip there sometime. Gan Fall was now the ruler of Skypiea again, although he liked to tend his garden. Because of the load on his shoulders often, Conis, until recently, would go, with only Su to accompany her, to help him out. Now her father was better, and he would join her occasionally. Nami had met one other person from Skypiea, although he had left before Enel’s reign. He helped her out in learning the weather, when she hadn’t found her flat in Sabaody yet.
Conis jumped at the sound of gunshots, and she turned a worried face to her friend, her story stopped of its grandeur, “Nami, what was that?”
Nami was also confused, Luffy was gone, so his friends wouldn’t be shooting in his backyard, so what was going on now? Her and Conis made their way to the large window, and looked out at the road. There was Captain Tashigi, whom Nami had met before, and Vice Admiral Smoker, Tashigi’s boss, as they were standing up to a mad scientist with a white lab coat. The new ambassador who was introduced just recently was out there with them, and an olive green haired woman, who was seemingly protecting children.
Nami was concerned, these kids didn’t look like they wanted to be there. However, the police were trying to get them back, and the ambassador was stopping them, it seemed. Was this really happening just outside her window? “Conis, stay here.” Nami said, as Conis gripped Su, in a comforting manner, although the dog looked like it was comforting Conis. Nami made her way out of her house, and to the scientist. The police were no match for the ambassador, and he had them on the ground, out of breath, and near bleeding.
“Excuse me, sir.” Nami said, sassily to the scientist, “these children look like they are having an awful time.”
“What do you mean?” he asked her, before breaking out into an extremely annoying cackle.
The green haired woman smiled wryly, before turning to the children, “Are you having an awful time?” she asked, and the children clutched at her as if to say no. The woman nodded, and followed the scientist into the limo that had been stopped by the police. They drove off, leaving the ambassador, and he turned to face her.
“What!” She exclaimed, and began pointing her finger at him, “You! How dare you! I thought you were supposed to be helpful, but here you are, helping someone kidnap children!”
“Kidnap?” He asked, as he walked up to her, and led her aside. He also carried a sword, and Nami found it annoying how many swords she was seeing recently. “Come with me,” he sighed, as he walked off.
Nami begrudgingly followed him, and noticed he was making his way through her orange trees and into Luffy’s backyard. She stared at him as he just jumped over the fence, like it wasn’t trespassing his yard, let alone hers, though she walked through the gate, and followed him. The ambassador made his way into the forest lining the edge of the backyard, just beyond where Nami had seen the target set up, that Usopp was shooting at, not long ago.
“This is trespassing, you know?” Nami pointed out.
“And?” he asked, as he had gotten into the depth of the woods, and crawled into a small cave opening. Nami followed.
To her surprise, the ceiling of the cave was high enough for her to stand straight, and not even touch the ceiling if she lifted her arms up. She glanced around the cave, and found a few children in similar attire as the ones she had seen outside her home, huddled around a teen boy. The boy wore a blue, puffy baseball cap on his head, with a white x in a pink circle labeled on it. He had short brown hair, and dark brown eyes. His nose was small, and while it was slightly chilly in the confines of the cave, he had a yellow and white vertically striped tank top, while his arms were covered in bandages, and brown shorts. He was wearing black boots though. He was comforting the children, and telling them it was going to be okay, and they’d be able to go back to their families soon.
“What is going on here?” Nami asked, raising her hands in the air, as she looked at the teen and the ambassador.
“Can’t you tell?” the ambassador asked.
“It looks like you are in league with the man taking the children,” Nami stated, angrily.
“That’s not what this is.” The teen spoke up, his childlike voice reminding her of someone she heard before.
“Then what is it?” Nami asked.
“Yes, they’ve been kidnapped, but they’ve also been drugged. Tra-guy is also a doctor, and him and I are going to try to find a cure to this, while he gets at the bigger head behind it.”
“Oh, and who are you?” Nami asked, raising an eyebrow, skeptically.
“I’m a doctor as well,” the boy stated, as he rubbed the kids’ backs.
“Doctor who?” Nami asked, and crossed her arms, “how can I trust you?”
“Well, I don’t know your name either!” the boy stated, as he half hid behind the children.
“I’m Nami, I live in the house with the orange trees,” Nami sighed, “I had seen the children out my front window and came to investigate. Why did you bring me out here?”
“You know Luffy, right?” the boy asked, before Tra-guy could defend himself.
“Of course, he’s my neighbor.” Nami responded, stating the obvious.
“Good! So that means that-” he was cut off by Tra-guy’s stare, and then he changed his sentence, “it would make sense for you to know the actual story behind it,” he continued, “and since you seemed so concerned about the children, Tra-guy brought you here.”
“Tra-guy?” Nami questioned, and turned to him, with a raised eyebrow, “I had thought that…”
“Trafalgar Law.” Law corrected, “Luffy-ya is letting us use his backyard.”
“Okay, makes sense,” Nami sighed, “I still don’t trust you though, but, I’d like to help with the children.”
Trafalgar Law is secretly in love with Luffy, even though Luffy and Zoro are a happy, monogamous couple. He is happy for them, but his heart drops every time he sees them together. Basically the song "Untouchable Face" by Ani Difranco
