cannot stop thinking about how jealous tye hearts and strawhats must be of each other because like imagine you're a strawhat. your captain is in the middle of a war and sees his brother die in front of him. you and your crewmates are scattered across the globe with no way to reach him. you don't even know if he's still alive until months later when he reappears on the front page of the newspaper with message for you guys. later when you're all reunited with a new alliance on the way, you find out that this weird ass pirate and his crew was there post war. weird ass pirate and his crew patched your captain up. weird ass pirate and his crew was there in your captain's darkest hour and you weren't. it should've been you by his side and it wasn't. and on the hearts side of things, your captain leaves you behind to fight his abuser. he does not let you come with him. you live on a submarine. you've all seen each other at your worst moments. you've seen how much doflamingo scares your captain. you've been working on this plan for fucking years and instead of letting you stand by the man you have chosen to follow he sends you away and instead takes strawhat's crew as backup. you dont even know if he's alive until the news comes out. strawhat luffy and his crew were there as your capatain faced his abuser and you weren't. it should've been you by his side and it wasn't.

omu! how about a one piece galavant au?? as in op charas in a galavant setting

So basically this Galavant AU (for those who don’t know: a medieval musical AU you should totally check) is just Luffy acting like in canon, walking his way downtown and taking along anyone he wants to befriend. Luffy’s songs are about adventures, friends and foods. 

Meeting Zoro

As a kid, Luffy heard about thelegend of the Graal so he’s definitely looking for it no matter what people sayabout it. He used to live in a farm but said fuck responsibilities andexpectations and left to travel, became an adventurer and pirate along the way,created so much chaos right away he met Zoro who’s like a local policeman or piratehunter or whatever but Luffy’s just so incredible he manages to defeat him(probably sang something horribly and Zoro passed out) (just kidding) (or amI?) and welp this job was boring anyways. Somehow with Zoro they both end upcrossing like 4 or 5 countries within a week cause that’s how lost they are. Zoro’s songs are about training, finding his way back to wherever he wanted to go, and swords.

Meeting Nami & Usopp

Then they meet Nami who randomlysteals Zoro and Luffy’s goods, something Luffy doesn’t really care about causeit wasn’t food, however Zoro is completely infuriated cause she took his swordsso he’s losing his shit and chases her to get those back. As they’re lookingfor her, they meet Usopp, a merchant who is actually secretly in business withNami cause they get along pretty well even though when it comes to money Namiis never to be trusted. Nami’s songs are about money, profit, and her daily life. 

 Usopp tries to sell them shitty things that Luffy absolutelywants to buy but since they’re broke can’t so now he has a real reason to bemotivated. Usopp’s songs are about obviously fake stories, and incredible adventures. Usopp follows them and they find Nami flirting with a blondstupid-looking guy who’s all about her. Clearly she’s just here to steal fromhim, but she does not have to cause the idiot already gave her everything. Eventhough she appreciates, she tries to get rid of him because the guy is damnannoying, and as she tries to lose him in the crowd, faces Zoro again.

Oops.

Meeting Sanji

Zoro gets angry and asks her toreturn his swords, but Sanji intervenes and fights him. Luffy yells in hunger(yes hunger, not anger) and Nami takes advantage of this chaos to pretend she’sworking for Usopp and puts the blame on him. Usopp panics and denies – cause it’strue they only are partners if anything – though they actually find the swordsin his things – because Nami’s that good. The issue is settled by a dinner andLuffy telling them to follow him cause Usopp’s stories are terrific – and hesings pretty well – and Nami’s joining cause she sees the profit she could makeout of this association – plus, the Graal is interesting and Luffy is definitelynot anyone so might as well follow the guy. Since Nami joined Sanji’s decision isquickly taken – though that’s actually not the only reason, for he feels veryat ease with them and actually talked to as an equal, no better nor lesser thanthem.

About Sanji: he is a prince who’stried to run away from his family a hundred times and is known as “the dramaprince” so basically all his songs are about how his family is shitty etc. ThisAU gets this family as still an abusive one though they are not violent with him– he’s still rejected and made fun of. Reiju is still secretly nice to him andhelped him run away, so that’s how they meet Sanji as he is on his last escape. Sanji’s songs are about his loneliness, the beauty of women, his feelings for his family and cooking.

Meeting Robin & Vivi

Robin is a sort of spy fromanother country who knows very well who Sanji is and recognised him right away,so she comes to talk and stay with them cause she could gather interesting informationto share, and maybe even get into the castle easily. She’s right in a way,because later on, thanks to the reputation they’re making along the way, theymeet a princess called Vivi who’s been looking for them to help free hercountry from the invasion that is currently happening. Sanji, whom everyone expectedto support her right away, does not react, and this is Nami answering cause royalty= money. Also that girl does look kinda cute. Sanji avoids Vivi a bit becausethey actually met each other in their childhood during royal meetings – he’snot sure she could remember him because he did not appear a lot in public or inthose kinds of events but he does not want to risk it. Vivi totally recognizedhim but says nothing – so, along with Robin, they’re the only ones to know. Robin’s songs are about her secrete identity, her mysterious life - probably saying things like “oh if they knew” but actually not saying anything about what’s to be known so the viewer is as confused cause nothing to be learnt - and her dark humour. Vivi’s songs are about her despair and support for her family and kingdom, her gratefulness and her relationship with the Straw Hats.

Meeting Franky & Chopper

They agree to come and help herthough her country is not next door, so they look for an actual boat orsomething to get there as fast as possible, hence how they meet Franky. Franky’s songs are about new inventions and his work on the boat, and how he’s finally getting away from this country. 

Ontheir way to Vivi’s country, they hear about a beast who is guarding somethingin the mountains so Luffy does not hesitate and runs to get the Graal, when itwas actually just Chopper trying to live his life and slowly turning into some kindof Grinch. Luffy finds him amusing and he joins them just like that – this mountainwas annoying anyways and he was tired of singing his solos to the wind. Chopper’s songs are about loneliness, friendship and support.

BONUS: Ace & Sabo

Ace and Sabo are in this universetoo, Luffy meets Ace in Vivi’s country like in canon (imagine the brotp song please)and Sabo is actually working in Sanji’s country in the resistance cause half ofthe country can’t bear the Vinsmoke’s tyranny and plots against them. Sabo ismuch more politically involved than Ace and Luffy – his brothers like in canon,though he only met them in a trip to one of his houses with his noble family.He remained there a few months and then had to leave again with his family, butran away and definitely stayed with Ace and Luffy for a while before he leftagain to work against noble tyranny. Ace just travels to find himself becauseeven though Gol D Roger does not exist he’s still an orphan in this AU and kindabecame a pirate when he left. Ace’s songs are completely chaotic and Sabo’s songs are revolutionaries.
