Rosi's mother gives him a coin to protect him from those who bear the Will of D. Law's mother gives him a coin to pass along the wisdom of a medical clan. Rosi's coin doesn't protect him from demons, but preserves his life in other ways. Maybe it can save the life of another boy lost in the snow hoping for a better life.

I’ve always been inspired by flora and fauna and found the gesture of sending and receiving flowers among the most charming of traditions. I recently found myself researching all I could on the crossover area between technology and ecology – specifically flowers.Wikipedia defines ‘flower robot’ as “a simple electromechanical device with the appearance of a common flower.”  There are many motives that have inspired creators to experiment in this area from artificial flowers to promote pollination for bees to integrating semi conductive polymers inside the stem to generate electricity from photosynthetic processes and other designs and sculptures that have incorporated technology purely for aesthetic appeal.One of the earliest projects I found pertaining to this subject was an art/installation of a robotic flower garden by the Personal Robots Group at MIT’s Media Lab. This was developed in 2003 and coined the term Cyberflora. The flowers defined in this project all had different properties; Chromafant Blossom – capacitive sensing which will trigger swaying and glowing. Cobra Orchid and Dragon Iris – Movements synced to warmth. Violet Oscillies – Senses a hand passing over the top as the petals move.
Tumblr media
Conducting experiments using electronic components and technical elements may raise ethical issues as plants are living things, extending into principles of biocentrism and plant rights. There are two types of approaches to cyber plants – adaptation of the pre-existing living flower or a digital product that mimics the properties of the living plant. The aforementioned artificial flowers to promote pollination take the second approach; known as the Synthetic Pollinizer it sits alongside real plants to try and lure bees in to gather man-made pollen from the robotic flower which is a safer alternative to pesticide infected plants. An example of the first approach is the experiment researchers at Linkoping University carried out creating a simple transistor circuit inside a rose. 
I think this is a very interesting sector to watch. The evolution of plants and flowers, not to mention the vast amount of species and variants means that we have a lot to learn and a long way to go.  Every day we are exploring new agricultural processes and expanding upon our knowledge, being able to communicate and collaborate on findings via the internet and means of modern communication will make a massive difference to the future of plants.

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 7: April 12: Bepo: Return
Bepo swore to Law that they’d return to their comrades, or their comrades would return to them. After all, the Narwhal followed the same routes, year after year after year. The snow goose migrated from one landmass to another, chasing the warmth. The orca navigated the seas. Return was inevitable. He had hope. They'd be a crew without a ship for sure. A return to old days. But they’d managed before and would again. Everything they’d invested their love and loyalty in to would be returned tenfold. He was certain of it.

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 1: Jean Bart: Cursed
Tumblr media
No matter what they said, he wasn’t. Jean Bart was not cursed. Even plummeting like this through the dark cold sea, plates of the submarine—once a shelter and shield, now more likely to sever— floating about him, he wasn’t cursed. Even dying in these forlorn waters, hostile to the scattered nineteen men and women sinking in its icy midst, he wasn’t. Just a few hours before he'd blown out the candles on a birthday cake and voiced a wish. One should never voice a birthday wish, but he was lucky. He’d die a free man. He’d served well. His only regret not telling his captain goodbye.

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 8: April 13: Hakugan: Caught
Hakugan’s boiler suit was caught on a submarine panel—half a huge smiley face, dragging him down. His captain's magnetism drew all to him, or attracted the Hearts at least. Hakugan's mother had always told him to look before he leapt, but he dove into everything feet or beak first, including this ocean. He didn't have much choice this time.
He struggled against the weighted water and against his air pipes constricting. Seawater pushed through his mask, wet his lips. He couldn't hold his breath for much longer. Geese did not dive this deep. His feathers were waterlogged. His heart had been captured by this crew, by Law, and now their vessel. With no-one at the helm—with no helm, no ship—escape was slim.

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 3: April 8: Penguin: Loyalty
Penguin fretted for Bepo. He would survive. He and Law would. Penguin refused to believe anything else. The Hearts hadn’t been looking for a fight. Bepo—lazy as ever—lolling about on the deck while Penguin and Shachi swabbed it. Then Blackbeard’s ship shadowed their own, and Teach stared at them all as if asking the Hearts captain if theyhad permission to go on a play date. It got dark fast. Blackbeard was the sort to play with knives. Not as dark as the ocean though. Penguin could hold his breath for thirty minutes. Shachi and Ikkaku much longer. He looked through the darkness for the crew. They were still together, they could go out together. That’s the way the Hearts were. Jean Bart had wished for their continued good health and it would be granted.

Excerpt from Taxi
An older piece of mine, in light of recent international events genocidal invasions. Characters: Trafalgar Law and Rebecca
Modern day AU with universe elements. The lines of the poem in the middle is from a Mahmoud Darwish poem, I Come From There, and the one line excerpt Rebecca goes on to quote is from 24th September 1945, by Nazim (Nasim) Hikmet.
Setting: Taxi driver Law has picked up Rebecca from the airport, conversation and recognition about fucked-up pasts ensue on their way to Zoro's dojo. ***********
"Where are you from?" she asked.
"Hmm?" Law looked up, a little surprised. Pre-empted. Hardly got that question nowadays.
"You're not from here."
"I grew up here."
"Weren't born here."
"No." He fiddled with the buttons of the radio as always when white noise was less threatening than conversation. What had given him away?
"You had to leave a place?"
He looked over his shoulder for a second. The burning of his hometown was seared into his memory, but didn't scorch his every waking moment. Not now.
"Who are you, sister?"
She opened her bag. Rooted around for a bottle of water. Uncapped it and took a drink. She eased a foot out of one of the sneakers. Flexible, lithe. Some strength in the casual, well-kept body. Her feet didn't smell either. That was some achievement.
"Me too," she said. She wondered if the tattoos hid scars. "Had to leave a place."
"I see."
The road was hemming them in like a wall to keep them out, to separate them from everything that anyone ever wanted. The discards, broken toys, the displaced, were shovelled along the asphalt like coal into a furnace chute.
"Or we were kept from a place. Like this." She waved at the concrete zipping by. "My father and I were not allowed to participate in society. Wrong class. My mother was shot."
Law nodded. People told taxi drivers everything. They'd never see them again, right? Except he knew where she was going.
"Zoro helped me out. In the past."
Just like Doflamingo and Cora had helped him. He had an idea that Zoro's assistance might have had a few less long-lasting entanglements.
"Who shot her?" he asked, running his fingers back and forth on the wheel. He didn't need to ask if the wounds were fatal.
"New government." Her eyes were on the verge zipping past, dimming into evening.
"My father," she paused, "It almost destroyed him. He loved her." She wanted to see more than concrete, but the fastest way was the most sterile. She took in the stiff back in front of her, but didn't feel any crackle of anger. "You look like someone who understands the songs."
Law remembered. His father, the meetings, going with Lammy and his mother to buy the hot, flat bread, piles of it like pancakes. It was so easy to make, but she didn't have time. She was going to teach him one day. A different kind of flour. Didn't hurt his stomach.
The sickness that had almost taken Lammy, if the soldiers hadn't beaten the condition to it, was never far from the surface in those days. He remembered the words his dad had taught him before the Donquixote brothers took him. His father had arranged for them to do so. The soldiers came soon after.
He saw the body, the death. His glasses shattered on the floor as he fell forward. Thinking at the time, how would his father see? He was blind without his glasses. Someone's hand over Law's mouth — Was it Cora? — holding him back. This woman was the same as him? Same as Law?
"I have my own view, And an extra blade of grass." Smooth, the lines were loud enough to be heard from the back of the cab, but no dramatics, not shouting.
"Mine is the moon at the far edge of the words, And the bounty of birds," she answered. The moon was now actually in the sky. An orange ball rising ahead of them. Both rested a beat before Law continued.
"And the immortal olive tree. I walked this land before the swords…"
He had long shifts. Reciting the hope, the history, his father had taught him kept him near, and sure helped pass the time. Less fear in them than warnings and prayers. Kept his family close. Maybe his tatts were like the beads of a rosary, the stanzas of an ode.
"Turned its living body into a laden table." The woman pushed her fringe up and settled the scarf over her head and shoulders. "I come from there."
"You come from there?" Law asked. He thought he was the only one left.
She shook her head. "Sorry." She'd heard the click of want. "But his words, those works." She looked out the window again. She knew Law knew how they crossed nations. The poet came from there, and his words went everywhere.
"Your father is?"
"Still alive. Things are good now."
Was Zoro a mercenary? How had he helped this woman out? Some kind of missionary?
"In body, mind and soul?"
She wished she could see the driver's face better. Only the dregs or the very wealthy marked themselves up in her society. Both had helped her. It was darker now. Maybe his voice told her more about him than anything.
"The best days have yet to be lived." Different wordsmith, same desire to see the sun shine freely. She wasn't sure though if the best was before her. It had always been warm in her mother's arms.
"Preach." Law loosened the back of his shirt from the seat, from Ace's massager. He wasn't sure though. The few scraps of photos Doflamingo and Cora somehow scavenged were all he had of his family. Festivals had been fun. Studying medicine with his parents had made him proud.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: One Piece (Anime & Manga) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary:
Hobbytex? More like Hobbyflex. Kaidou was King of painting on velveteen. One thing that he wanted to achieve in life, other than death, was recognition for his hobbytex skills. It was no exaggeration to say that along the 12 steps of the programme that kept him sober and seemingly alive (not for want of trying to be unalive), that hobbytex also kept him on the straight and narrow, and he was proud of his work. Brain-addling fumes from the paints were a bonus. OR Kaidou tries his hand at the craft market.
There’s Law in there too! He might just keep the pirate crafter villains afloat. AND a wee touch of MarLaw, platonic LawBin, Black Maria/ Kaidou, and Queen and King (and mentions of Jack). Modern AU.
(This was for @crowbarsolo as a charity exchange in support of the people suffering in Palestine).

Posting again for both Ace’s birthday (January 1st) and Roger’s birthday (December 31st). It’s not necessarily a happy fic, but the ending is open. Garp having a conversation with Ace similar to a conversation he had with his childhood friend (that’s the fanfiction bit!), Roger, many years before. I never noticed Garp’s open hand above before

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 4: April 9: Ikkaku: Night
Ikkaku knew it would be dark like night for some of the others, but not for her. She operated by sonar. She and Shachi both, and this depth was nothing. Narwhals spent their life under the deep ice blocks of the Arctic, navigating from one tongue click bounced from one ice shelf to the other. Penguin wasn't lying when he spoke about the North Blue crew and their familiarity with the oceans.
Tumblr media
Rounding up and then surfacing with all the non-marine Hearts was something else though. They couldn’t hold their breath in the same way. They couldn’t slow their hearts. If she or Shachi moved under them, some didn’t have the sense to discern friend of foe. The ocean and its depths were her home, but it didn’t welcome everyone.

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 2, April 7: Shachi: Celebration
It was strange, Shachi thought, how deep sea creatures looked as if they were on the way to a party—or returning from one. Luminous, bioluminescent, all shapes and sizes, like the tongue of a party horn blown out and rolling back in, continuously. They piggy-backed each other. The innocuous could handle the poisonous so that the poisonous could prey on others, although they didn’t really have a moral code like that. Who got to decide? 
Tumblr media
As he tumbled through the water he took their waving tentacles as an early birthday greeting. Shachi had lived well. That was cause for celebration. Law had shown them, him and Penguin, Bepo too, a moral code that worked outside of the corrupt government. It didn’t save nor spare all, but it did save and heal many. Death was not welcome, but Shachi had lived his life well. Jean Bart shouldn’t have spoken his birthday wishes out loud.

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 6: April 11: Uni: Aftermath
A trip to the new world was a great adventure and far more interesting, safer and less painful than waiting for his gonads to be gathered—a quick summary of Uni’s life before he met Law and the Hearts. Dégustation. More like disgusting. But it was still dangerous in the New World, even if the danger was more general and less genital. Captain was careful but had his own brand of recklessness— challenging a warlord here, an emperor there, or two. And sure, Law wanted to change the world, but there was always an aftermath, and now they were feeling it. Drifting through the dark waters, Uni's carapace ensured he'd fulfil Jean Bart's birthday wishes, but not so much the big man himself.

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 5: April 10: Clione
Blackbeard played with his food. It'd be his downfall, but not today. The Hearts had held out well against the Titans. A surprise attack, from all sides, and an emperor as stubborn as Straw Hat. Penguin and Shachi and nearly everyone else had targeted Sabre of Xebec without putting thought into how it could target them. How the Titans were all fruit users. Blackbeard's whole crew was. With powers that ripped their sub in two. And if Blackbeard captured Law, Clione knew the Emperor would not be kind. He hoped to light the way some and they’d rescue him if he’d been caught after they'd resurfaced.

Heart Pirates Week 2024: Day 9: April 14: Law: Tattoos/ Fantasy AU
The plump seal sun-baked on the sea ice, a mound of snow nearby. Doc Q and Stronger flew past, circled a few times through the crisp Arctic air, and then went back the way they came. The mound of snow moved. Amazing that the lopsided horse could keep in the sky, Bepo thought. He seemed on death's door with every flap of his moulting wings. A few giant petrels trailed after the horse and Blackbeard physician.
Speaking of moulting,  the fur and skin of the animal next to him dissolved gradually, revealing inked flesh unique to  Trafalgar Law. The hands, the forearms, the upper arms, the chest, the back, the fingers. Some correlated to the spots of his baby pelt. He  let people see the designs, but he didn’t let many know what they were, but he showed them all the same because he did not want to forget where and who he came from.
The World Government, Doflamingo, could wipe out his people, but what Law carried with him went with him. He disguised the markings on occasion—like fleeing from an Emperor of the Four seas—for inverse reasons, like now. It'd be better if Blackbeard didn't notice him.
Tumblr media
Sea water, draining him of every power, meant the devil-fruit user couldn’t safely take largha seal form that often, but Law never lost the skill to transform. It was safer for Bepo to carry him in human form at the moment, though. Flippers didn’t have a great grip on fur, despite the nails. Not when Law was exhausted, but the blubber would protect him from the cold, and the ability to hold his breath for a longer period of time was an advantage. Bepo would make sure they alternated forms.
Fortunately, Doc Q and Blackbeard were not the brightest bunch of that crew, and the brightest hardly seemed to care, so hopefully another shiny ship (well away from their crew) would catch Blackbeard's attention, and Law and Bepo and the Hearts could regroup.
Jean Bart had wished for the good health of the Hearts, and it’d take some time to regain it, but they would. Bepo slipped another Sulong rumble ball down his throat. He knew he couldn’t overextend—Chopper had warned against it, and they weren't sure of the side effects—but Elbaf wasn’t far, and he didn’t think Blackbeard had any alliance with the giants. Maybe they’d find refuge. They’d been lucky so far.

Growing Pains is a FREE 150+ page Anthology with accompanying illustrations that focuses on how we change as we grow up. Our likes, dislikes, and personality all stem from this crucial point in our life. Have you ever wondered why Blackbeard so desperately craves power? Or why Ace has the self destructive habits that he does? This zine hopes to show an in-depth look at the childhoods of different One Piece characters and how it has affected them into adulthood.
Please check the zine out! Free for Luffy's birthday (or near enough date-wise). Lots of great stories and art pieces. Characters range from Eustass Kid, Killer to King. Would love to know any reactions! @opfandombase
