Something that came to my mind because of the chessboard Strawhat cover:
Tumblr media
I mentioned before the Strawhat's relations to demons/hell/monsters and their symbolism of being in opposition to gods/heaven, but this time it's interesting how multiple Strawhats already have a title somehow related to rule or ruling pieces - but it's always a little bit twisted, that trope is a bit flipped upside down.
Obviously Luffy will become the King of the Pirates, (but even Big Mom in one of the Wano flashbacks mentioned she would become the King of the Pirates - not a queen, so this particular title is probably always King.)
Luffy just wants to be that, and not rule in the typical sense of the word, or how their world understands that title.
Tumblr media
Then we have Zoro and his King of Hell title. (I think that's pretty self explanatory and i've talked about him before probably the most. (also smth smth, becoming the King for Luffy's and his dreams.))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now we have Nami as the Queen on the strawhats chess board. Queen, which is the deadliest and a very important figure in chess (beside the King - and even there Oda broke the rules again - saying the 'King is the fighting piece', which usually it is not as much.) She's their navigator and the symbol of what they need to protect and how they let her move to attack in the best formations, in the most strategic moves.
Tumblr media
We have SogeKing, who is a veeeery similar to the character of Usopp, practically the same guy. (Even on the chessboard he's with bow & arrow as the SniperKing.)
Tumblr media
We have Soul King Brook. King of absolute slaying with his music!
Tumblr media
We have Jimbei First son of the Sea, which sound like important (ruling) title as well.
Tumblr media
With Sanji I don't really want to point at his family - the connection as Prince of Germa Kingdom connection, because he renounced that, but
Tumblr media
-he did call himself a Prince all the way in Alabasta. So, prince he is, self appointed, in whatever sense he means it. (And something very fun is how he trained under Emporio Ivankov, and beat Queen in Wano, both who are also interesting characters in the case of breaking the stereotypical gender of those titles/names).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nico Robin has one of the epithets 'Light of the Revolution', which I find beautiful. She's illuminating their journey with her knowledge, and at the same time her connections with the Revolutionary Army speaks about the breaking out of the typical roles as well.
(I couldn't think how it would be for Franky and Chopper, but they're kinda similar in the way they've altered their bodies. Franky building so much of his body, cyborg who had a dream to built the ship for the King of the Pirates; and Chopper, a reindeer with human knowledge of medicine to become the best doctor.)
Just to say that even when they're gathering these titles/names/positions, they're not meant in the generic sort of meaning. It's always looped around, broken out of the mold of how their (and ours) society views these roles. And that's what makes it their unique thing. Their way how they grasp their skills, the future and their dreams.

******one piece chapter 1113 spoilers
i saw a speculation about how during the Loguetown breakup if Buggy had gone with Shanks, then Shanks might’ve just given up and enjoyed a peaceful aimless life wandering about the world with Buggy, accepting the world would come to an end and not doing much about it except preparing to save themselves. but because Buggy refused to come with him, Shanks decided to actually take steps to change the world (going after the nika fruit, making ties with the five elders)
when Shanks said to Buggy he didn’t want to go after the One Piece…at least ‘not yet’ was it because he was waiting for the world to be underwater first because he knew that’s when it could be obtained? they’d go to Laughtale when the rest of the world was buried underwater and Laughtale wouldn’t sink so he and Buggy would be safe there.
it might also explain this cover??
Tumblr media
maybe this is an alternate future where they sailed together so Shanks gave up any higher ambitions or dreams of fighting the world and decided to just enjoy the freedom they had on this earth before it all went to hell. so they spend the remaining years on a world-wide vacation seeing the world before it sinks.
the approaching future…Shanks and Buggy are sitting in an oden shop, no responsibility or concerns, already aware of the doomed fate of this world.

When you form a crew composed only of Devil Fruit users and learn from Vegapunk (like everyone else at this point) that the world's gonna sink into the ocean.

Only a few more to go.

I will make no excuses. This is the biggest example of self indulgent art ive done since my birthday last year. I have no fucking clue what au this is. I jsut wanted to draw Sabo as a sheep, Ace as slutty and greasy as i could with him still being hot in my eyes, and luffy with adorable little bear ears. Also that shading on luffy’s pic was really fun to make.
I had a physical reaction to drawing the little animals. Theyre. Everything. To me.
Why luffy is bear- bears are so food motivated i love them.
Why sabo is sheep- rebelling against fate’s design, breaking from herd mentality, etc etc
Why ace is coyote- it’s really funny how people keep thinking theyre cats or dogs and take them in but theyre just feral creatures. Very similar to Ace me thinks.
I wanted to make luffy and ace typical predators of sheep. Something something them born to destroy the system of all that has ever been (harking back to that herd mentality) something something also breaking that promise too to be brothers with someone from that system
