Vietnamese mythology here (chopped and mixed)
According to Cadière, Giran and Shinkarev, a tiger that killed 100 people gets an ability to turn human and speak like one. The man-eating tiger gets a red spot on the ear for each victim. The souls of those people remain in the human realm, serving as slaves to their killer, luring fresh prey and sometimes even leading the tiger to their own home (that's why it's believed that if a tiger had killed someone from your household he'd definitely come back to kill again).
Those souls travel on the tiger's back.

I just had to add that huge-ass syringe to make the ink even cooler.

Day 5 -- Clione -- Food
Tumblr media
Sea angels prey on the sea devils (or sea butterflies). In my hc Clione is that one person you find in your kitchen at 3 a.m. staring into the void, munching on paper towels and mustard-covered grapes.
Heart pirates find him adorable.

Day 4 Ikkaku -- Night

...or rather a Knight. The knight on a sea unicorn, which is much cooler than any common white horse or whatever.

Day 3 - Penguin - Loyalty
Antarctic pearlwort is one of two flowers that grow in, well, Antarctica (and the only one that actually looks like a flower). If that's not a great allegory to "I'll stay here no matter what" I don't know what is.

Celebrating the change of seasons.
The Chukchee believe that orcas can shapeshift: when winter comes they turn into wolves and go deer hunting merrily until summer. Also orcas can be bribed with tobacco (so am I)

The time to reblog has come (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)
Imagine how long and cringe this scene would be in the anime.

Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg, Russia. Translation: Dreams come true if you're not an asshole
Tumblr media
"Wave" by Aivazovsky is kept in the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Tumblr media
I can't remember the exact name of the village, but it's somewhere in Crimea, presumably south.
Tumblr media
Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia. The photo shows a part of the Kul Sharif Mosque. Sanji holds echpochmak, a Tatar and Bashkir national dish, a bun with meat. On the territory of the Kazan Kremlin there was a New Year's fair, where I tried my first echpochmak with duck liver and finally fell in love with it.

A monument to flooded ships in my hometown of Sevastopol. I drew this because of a phrase I saw a long time ago. "Why do we need Paris and the whole world? Imagine me in Sevastopol kissing with you."
Does it all make any sense? I don't know. I just decided to put northblueboys in Russian cities and go through my pics. Next year I'm going to visit Volgograd and I'm in great anticipation because I'll be able to see the Motherland Calling with my own eyes, like for real, like wow. (Also, @/sobakensyn's gift made me think of rusreal)

WANTED: GRAND LINE'S HOTTEST ROGUES AND RUNWAYS
i had this thought of a fashion/news editorial that rivaled the anticipation of the wanted posters that came with the news coos named WANTED. sort of a tongue-in-cheek thing to navy-controlled news. this volume with sanji is inspired by al parker's art!
you can find prints of this here!
[ID: Sanji from waist-up in a dark red suit, black shirt, and pink tie - he's holding a black and gold lighter in his right hand, a lit cigarette perched loosely between his lips. His face is in profile, showing a dangling pearl earring in his left ear. His right arm leans against the bottom right corner, as if propping himself up. The flat red of his suit blends with the background - in contrast, his rendered face and hands pop from the composition. END ID.]
white varation + blank version under the cut:

I am Armenian, too (but… parskahay, sorry 😔). I saw your One Piece mafia cards and got so happy! Looks beautiful, love that game a lot 😁
Mersi shat! ❤️
I decided to add Armenian translation for my friends who don't speak English so they won't be confused by the game. Turned out they were more confused by my weird art and brutal lying in Mafia :D
