😀 - Most favorite Straw Hat?

I can’t pick! Sorry for the cop-out! Sanji has been my fav since I started reading/watching as a kid and Usopp slid from second to tie for first after my recent reread. Zoro has also climbed to a close third, to my own surprise!



I truly honestly mean it when I say I love them all, though.



😎 - Funniest joke?

Crocus’s scenes crack me up EVERY time even when I know what’s coming.

I also love every time Usopp tries to explain something to Luffy and acts as if it’s the most serious issue in the world, number one being this scene:

Also Perona’s ghosts not working on Usopp because he already has depression, bitch, and her subsequent parody of Enel’s horror face



👾 - Fave villain?

I know. I know he’s eminem. I knowowhghghhfmgh I shouldn’t like him so much! But I love his design, I love the natural conclusion of someone with a godlike Devil Fruit trying to literally ascend to godhood, the idea of natural foils amongst Devil Fruit, and that in the end he was undone by his own delusion and not (just) Luffy. Plus… nice pants



🗣 - Got any theories for how it’s all gonna end?

Speculation/spoilers below!

“One Piece was the adventures you had along the way” is pretty much a joke/cliche at this point but I can’t see another way the series would end satisfyingly and I wouldn’t be mad at all if that were the case!

Specifically, I think if Luffy and the gang get to Raftel then their ultimate discovery will be that Luffy himself is the fated “One Piece” who represents the greatest treasure Gol D Roger left behind after his death, which is nothing tangible but instead the “Golden Age” of piracy that inspired adventure and glory in the hearts of all who heard it. The desire to find One Piece and become the next Pirate King is the treasure. And so it’s Luffy’s job to carry that spark of adventure, that One Piece, to the next generation. He is the One Piece, the walking embodiment of hope and piracy - the king of all Pirates!

Shanks is/was the previous “One Piece” after reaching Raftel and learning of the truth. He passed the spark of adventure onto Luffy, and at their final reunion at Raftel, the summit of pirates, Shanks is “defeated” (either literally through battle or just metaphorically) and explains that Luffy is now the next One Piece, or represents the One Piece, i.e. the spirit of adventure. He refuses to take back the straw hat. Luffy and the gang return from the Grand Line and, in a bar in a small port town, Luffy gives it to a kid who wants to be a pirate.

And someone will point out that the greatest treasure is always marked by an X.
