The Blue Life

An old comic I made a while ago about Luffy being a marine under Smoker's command bc I really love the idea of this little shit getting on Smoker's nerves

This is a great question because I LOVE exploring and talking about these characters!

Please know that I never, ever stopped thinking about what exactly happens to them both after the events of TOME: Hard Reset.

I have a particular endgame in mind for both, building off of plot ideas Chris gave me for a theoretical season 3. I'm not ready to confirm whether or not their paths may ever cross again. I'll say that Rockoon *did* eventually send the DM he kept deleting and rewriting, but as it stands, Doubling and even his sister Splat don't see any reason to ever return to TOME. It might tragically stay unread forever.

Doubling's ultra-macho stubborness really frustrates me because he's a good person at heart who just couldn't fully process and be honest about his regrets. We last saw him and Rocky in places where they don't even dislike each other, but they both failed each other's friendship for different reasons and needed to be apart for each to grow.

Doubling is an introverted but functional young adult IRL and he'll be okay enough. He knows enough about and doesn't hate who he is.

training (real + effective)

Post chapter 3???:
