daydreamer

The D in everyone's name stands for dumbass.

in shellstown zoro tells luffy 'if you stand between me and my goal i'll force you to commit harikiri'. after his fight with mihawk his dream is already starting to shift, and suddenly he doesn't just want to be world's best swordsman for himself and kuina but also for the king of the pirates. at thriller bark, he asks "what's the point of great ambition if you can't protect your captain?" closely followed by dracule mihawk looking zoro in the eyes and saying 'i see your priorities are different now.' because his dream has now become SO entangled with luffy's that he can't imagine a reality where he achieves his without the other. he tells kaido, 'i'll follow my captain to hell if i have to' because he's not going to leave luffy again, not even in death-- he will not continue without him. a far cry from his original statement when the first met, but to be loved is to be changed.

stop asking ai for advice and start asking bitches with tarot cards to read your future

look considering oda's track record marco's full name could not have been anything else but marco polo but i respect his dedication in revealing this stupid ass pun about 500chaps since the initial setup

i love in One Piece whenever a deeply traumatized character tries to convince luffy that they're unlovable and that he's better off leaving them behind and that he shouldn't waste his time on them and luffys reaction every time is the most blunt "what the fuck are you talking about? are you stupid?"

it's probably been said multiple times already but it is so obvious that opla is made for the fans. sanji showing vulnerability so early on making us love him even more. sanji and zoro being not openly aggressive with each other but borderline flirty. not just nami being close with vivi but pretty much everyone else as well. usopp being actually praised by his crewmates for his achievements. mihawk having no actual reason to appear in season two but being there anyway because steven john ward is a fucking delight. so much robin from the get go because lera abova is just so wonderful and they knew we will want more of her. cameo of brook so early on. reference to ace. mugiwaras being kinda both platonic and romantic towards each other. i can keep going. just so much love radiating from the screen. it's a love letter to the viewer in a way.
