Nicnac's Nonsense

Why is Law surprised by the information that Kaido was in an alliance with the Shogun of Wano (read: had conquered Wano) and by the later reveal that he had been entrenched there for 20 years? I get why the Straw Hats were surprised: they’ve only been in the New World for two weeks and also they’re all dumbasses. But Law spent months on Punk Hazard working on his plan to goad Kaido into taking out Doflamingo by shutting down the supply of Smiles and he never even got the basic information about where Kaido is located?

The thing is, we’re re-introduced to Law in Punk Hazard and he comes off very serious and brooding and focused and driven and we gotta laugh at him because oh buddy, you’ve got no idea what you’re getting into with Luffy. But then we get to Zou and Law formally introduces his crew to the Straw Hats, and they all start making superhero poses, and then when Law suggests a private meeting, they all start chanting “Not cool” and giving Law a thumbs down because they want to hang out with his new friends too! And it’s like, oh, okay. I get it now. I still don’t think you were fully prepared, because I don’t think anyone could be fully prepared for Luffy and all his Luffiness, but you had an idea. This was a deliberate decision; you choose get yourself into these situations. Good for you man, live your best life.

Fucking love Sanji. Oh no, it’s a sudden flood of sea water, I better gently pick up Chopper and carry him to safety. Oh and fucking punt Caesar in the general direction of a tree branch or whatever, I don’t care

AU where shortly after Dragon takes Sabo in, a surveillance photo with the both of them in it makes it way to Marine headquarters where Garp sees it. Immediately Garp writes a letter to Dragon like “WHY DID YOU KIDNAP MY GRANDSON.” And Dragon writes him right back like, “I do not have Luffy with me. Is he okay, is he missing, did you lose my son?” And Garp replies, “LUFFY AND ACE ARE BOTH FINE. JUST DEVASTATED BECAUSE THEY THINK THEIR BROTHER SABO IS DEAD BECAUSE YOU KIDNAPPED HIM.” And Dragon is now sitting there like wtf, what does he mean Sabo is his grandson, who the fuck is Ace, wtf???

Cavendish reading the newspaper the morning before the tournament and absolutely seething over the story about Law & Luffy forming an alliance because the two of them are clearly the grumpy one and the sunshine one of the Worst Generation and now they’re using that to their advantage to gain even more popularity. They’re using his own favorite ship dynamic against him! This will not stand!!!

I’ve seen plenty of talk about how it’s hella gay of Law to insist he be left behind to watch the Luffy-Doflamingo fight so that if Luffy dies they can die together, but what about Cavendish Cabbage being like, very well, then I will stay here and guard you with my life. Cabbage confirmed Luffy/Law shipper. He’s internally fujoing out so hard right then

Honestly, Bellamy is just embarrassing himself. I would never blame him for being manipulated and taken advantage of by Doflamingo, but once he fully knows better and chooses to continue to fight for Doflamingo? And for what, loyalty, pride? Baby boy you do not owe any loyalty to someone who lied to & used you, and if you actually took pride in yourself and the things you did you would allow yourself to change once you realized you were wrong. This is all just coming from a place of shame and embarrassment and digging your heels in is just making it worse. Get well soon, bro

Poor Law. The universe really said fuck that guy in particular

Crazy how we get this whole horrific story about the fall of Flevance, complete with a century-long cover up poisoning people for profit, a terminally ill little sister who gets burned alive inside the hospital and a fucking nun and class full of children’s dead bodies littering the street after they where gunned down by a soldier who promised to help them, and then we’re told, okay, so that’s the backstory to Law’s backstory. On to the main backstory where he starts to learn how to live again only to have that cruelly ripped away as well!

The funny thing about Doflamingo’s backstory is at first you’re rolling your eyes at the whole “poor little rich boy” of it all, but then you find out more about what he went through and are like, damn actually that is really messed up. But then you find out he’s just said “no one has ever suffered like I have” to a man who is the last known survivor of his country which was genocided twice over, and it’s like, you shouldn’t play trauma olympics anyway, but if you are going to play, don’t fucking play against Law. C’mon now.
