SALTORII

Not Quin's art! Comms I've collected of my OC Quill.

In my ever increasing journey to get more comfy with my OC and my eventual OC/insert Story project, I've been getting art of Quill.

This is going to be a LONG LONG post cause I'm including art and tagging who I can tag.

One Piece Academy is an ongoing official One Piece spinoff that releases in Monthly Saikyo Jump. In the magazine, the chapters are roughly 40 pages, but they're divided into two parts and released bimonthly on the official site.

You can find chapters 1-32 translated unofficially in several manga piracy sites [x]. Raws for 33 onwards can be found here.

Like most spinoffs, the original author isn't involved in its writing. However, it has been confirmed that Oda himself decided the nicknames exchanged between characters (Cora and the SHs) in this particular subplot.

the official site removes access to free chapters as new ones add up, so if you like a specific chapter, keep all pages saved!

So many emotions right now. My tribute piece to Legion, after replaying and speedily doing it for the first time in 4 years I forgot a lot of the requirements, which was nice and refreshing but also meant my Tali was an exile. I could not save him.

There are real 1940s cola adverts with “Pure as Sunlight” as taglines and I think thats just too perfect for my weeaboo uses. Don’t read the fine print. 

merry valentines i hope ur smoother than aliens

Chapter 43: Aren't you the Big Brother?

I feel like I'm the only person I've seen who interprets the Donquixote parents –specifically Homing– the way I do? Most people can pick up on the fact that he's well-intentioned and loves his wife and children enough to lay down his life trying to protect Doffy and Cora, and I've seen a decent number of people also note that he fails as a parent to properly address Doffy's sadism/aggression/antisocial behaviour and Celestial-Dragon-Programming in ways that would actually help him live a healthy, normal life after the family left Mariejois. He's sheltered and lives in a bubble (quite literally considering that leaving Mariejois involves taking off the insulating helmet that keeps you from breathing the same air as ordinary people) and he's horrified at the prospect that the people he idealizes and wants to be like hold genuine spite towards the Celestial Dragons in ways that he can't just hope to avoid by telling the victims of his former peers that he's left all of that behind.

That being said though, I noticed while rewatching Dressrossa that as much as Homing talks about the "honesty" of living as a human and the hollowness of Celestial Dragon society, he never seems to grasp that his peers are *evil*. He thinks of their immense wealth and privilege and the city of Mariejois itself as superficial, and clearly views his peers as misguided and shallow, but he never seems to explicitly condemn the actual atrocities they regularly commit or address it in his home; even though he thinks of himself as morally superior to his peers for choosing a comparatively less opulent and less abusive lifestyle, he doesn't seem genuinely bothered by Doffy repeatedly, loudly expressing his desire to own slaves as they're unpacking. He never bothers to tell his children that his peers are wrong, and the language he uses to condemn his peers excess never actually addresses their cruelty, just his general distaste for their excess and opulence. He doesn't do anything to intervene or apologize when Doffy expresses the same views in public in front of the very people he ostensibly idealizes enough to want to be like. He announces his status right off the bat and allows his child to loudly call for the deaths of people who cross his path without ever apologizing or expressing anything beyond mild discomfort. Even when he leaves Mariejois, he's given much nicer lodgings than most of his neighbours and a decent amount of money and treasure to boot and doesn't seem to want for anything.

Sanji: Huh..? Aren't you...?

Luffy: Who?

Nami: Luffy! We've just seen this guy in a photo a while ago!

He's Corazon!!

Cora: Guh..!

*tap tap*

Nami: Ah, he's running!

*wham*

Nami: Ah, he fell ;;

Cora: Law, what's the meaning of this? How did this place get busted?!

Law: I'm in a state of shock myself... I swear I wasn't being tailed by anyone.

You guys, how did you...?

Robin: Underestimated our skill of gaining intel, haven't you?

Sanji: You did a good job hiding your tracks, but...

[flashback]

Luffy: Traffy... he's totally gone, huh.

Bart: Ah, Luffy senpai! It's been a while beh!

Luffy: Oh? Isn't that Romeo!

Do y'all know Traffy's place?

Bart: Naa I don't.. Gambia, do you?

Gambia: I dunno. Lemme ask my granma at home.

Gambia: Helloo, granma! Do you know where Trafalgar Law lives?.. Hmm, hmm... oh?

*pulls up a map*

Gambia: She says he lives here! Even gave us details on how to enter!

Bart: Granma really has all the wisdom beh~!

Luffy: COOL!! Thanks!!

Cora: THIS IS WAYY BEYOND THE REALM OF WISDOM THOUGH!!

Usopp: She also said, "if you're worried about the doorknob's prickly static shock, just touch the wall with your palm first."

Law: So she shared some real wisdom too? That damned Bartolomeo!

Zoro: A man believed to be missing is here, 'hiding' so nobody can find him - so it seems.

Corazon:...!

Since I got busted already, I guess there's no going back.

*cracks knuckles*

I'll make sure to make you feel at home.

Coby: Woah!

Law: DON'T START A RICEBALL PARTY!!

Luffy: What flavor is that one, Corao?

Cora: That's umeboshi! Law hates it.

Law: Cora san... ;

Cora: It's okay, Law..

Cora: After all, the only visitors we get in this home far from the town are Bepo and team. And that's just Law's pals.

Law: They're... not exactly pals...

Cora: That said, it's not like someone is expected to live here. The entrance is far down some secret underground passage. We buy our groceries from the neighboring Swallow city.

*clang*

Nami: Why all these secrecy?

Coby: Where are you going?

Cora: Follow me! I'll show you.

Luffy: Traffy's place seems fun!

Law: Make sure not to ravage it.

Cora: This is.. The Doflamingo countermeasure Headquarters.

Nami: The Doflamingo countermeasure Headquarters?

Luffy: That's a lot of Mingo!

Cora: You get the gist of a secret opposing faction, don't you?

In short, we call it "Vs Doff.." "Quarters.." well, something.

And not just Doflamingo, we collect information about the Family executives.. Even about the Onigashima middle school.

I investigate here everyday.. *tapping some keys*

And think of countermeasures.

<bzzzzz>

Coby: YOU JUST SHUT IT DOWN!

Cora: Crap, I blew it up again...

Nami: Cora chan, might you be a bit clumsy?

Cora: I have always been a clutz. It doesn't get better.

Vivi: We know that Doflamingo is a bad guy who needs to be stopped.. But do you, as his brother, have any specific reason for your action?

Cora: As his younger brother, my goal is...to prevent my older brother Doffy from falling into the dark world.

Brook: Dark..

Chopper:... World?

Cora: Do you know what they call Doffy in the town?

Coby : I'm pretty sure it's Joker, "The Town's Charisma"....

Cora: He's a regular hot topic among young admirers, my brother's got that talent in him. But..

He's being approached by the people from the dark world - meaning the Bad adults, as they observed those qualities.

To be honest, brother does have the predisposition and ideas for 'evil.' He's already a bad guy, you can't call him good even as a flattery.

Zoro: Will he remain as the Town's Charisma, or become a Charismatic Evil?

If it's the latter, that'd be way more serious that being just a bad, flawed person...

Cora: If that happens, Doffy will, without a doubt, cross the line and become an unstoppable demon.

Even that day, if only Doffy had the power, I would've been...

Coby:.........

Nami: So, Cora chan, you managed to survive the explosion that day and reunite with Traffy, is that what happened?

Cora: 'Explosion?' Law, didn't you fill them in?

Law: I mean, even from perspective, I wasn't sure what exactly happened either.

Cora: It was..!

Coby: PRINCIPAL SENGOKU?!

Cora: Sengoku san came along with Tsuru sensei, Doflamingo's homeroom teacher.

The reason why I couldn't tell Sengoku san about me since that day.. And the reason why we couldn't immediately move to Law's home after that event..

There's so much to tell. But for now, there's just one thing I want to affirm.

If Doflamingo falls into Darkness, this town is done for.

Coby: !

Zoro: Was he the mastermind behind the school conflict with the Whitebeards?

Sanji: That showed the bastard's strength and cunningness.

Usopp: And there's the talk about him plotting something with the 'Emperor' Kaido! There's no doubt!

Nami: Before the Grand City is completely ruined... We must stop Doflamingo!

Cora : That's right. As long as Kaido is in the New World Middle school.. Or rather, in this city, We can't find peace. So we must combine our strength and...

Luffy: mmmn~

Coby: Luffy-san?

Luffy: I promised a Lobster Onigiri feast with Mingo! I heard that's super tasty. (for reference, check chapter 38 on the official website)

*nom nom*

Nami: IS IT THE LOBSTER ONIGIRI? OR THE TOWN'S PEACE? WHICH ONE IS MORE IMPORTANT? DON'T MAKE ME HIT YOU!!

Usopp: DON'T GET LURED BY FOOD! I'LL SMACK YA!

Luffy: Don't worry, Corao! I plan to have another party with Mingo for sure.

Cora : !

Luffy: So, if he does something bad, I'll beat his ass! I won't let him get to that dunno-what-it-is world!

Also! Once you start getting along with Mingo, make sure you brothers start coming to school together!

Cora: ME AND DOFFY TOGETHER AT SCHOOL??

[flashback]

Cora: Law..!

Cora: How was the school today?

Law: Nothing special. You're burning, by the way.

Right, if you mean if there's some weirdos, there's one.

Cora: ("Monkey D.?"...)

[Flashback end]

Cora: That's right...!

I'm glad to have met you, Monkey D. Luffy!

IT IS SPECIFICALL:Y NOT NATURAL

AGING IS YOUR BODY LITERALLY BREAKING DOWN AND FALLING APART YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT! IT CAN BE PREVENTED VIA TREATMENTS THAT YOUR BODY ALREADY DOES!!!!!

senescence is caused primarily by the shortening of telomeres, which are long tails of A-T pairs at the end of DNA molecules. they shorten over time because every time DNA is replicated, which is every time a cell divides*, a little bit gets missed; over time this ends with DNA degradation and, therefor, aging (senescence).

there is an enzyme known as telomerase which can hypothetically repair telomeres. lobsters happen to produce their own telomerase and don't undergo senescence the same way we do. however, in every study i have personally read and in what seems to be a general consensus in the scientific community, hTERT (human telomerase reverse transcriptase, a subunit of human telomerase) being activated (we do have a gene that will produce it!)... leads to cancer. like, do not pass go, do not collect $200, hTERT running around in a human body does not "biologically immortalize" them, it just causes a fuckton of cancer, because in humans hTERT also interacts with a bunch of other shit and causes (potentially) the degradation of the extracellular matrices and therefor increased metastasization (bad), inflammation, unchecked replication, and malignance.

so. the one enzyme, as of current, that could prevent senescence in humans... is just kind of a fuckin' "Get Cancer Now!" cheat code. (we actually use it to make immortal cell cultures! immortal human cell cultures are all cancer.)

Use the medications properly to prevent interactions with healthcare providers. The pills are very effective, but they have to be used right. Carefully follow the instructions provided on the How to Use Abortion Pill website. Note that misoprostol tablets should always be taken by dissolving them under the tongue. Do NOT insert misoprostol vaginally if you are self-managing an abortion. While this is medically safe, it can leave incriminating pill remnants that can be detected in the vagina during a pelvic exam if you end up needing to seek medical care. 

If it’s not an emergency but you need expert health advice, use a free calling service like Google Voice to call or text the Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline at 1-833-246-2632. Medical complications are very uncommon with abortion pills, but they’re not impossible. The M+A Hotline is safe to use and is staffed by trustworthy clinicians who volunteer their time to help those who choose SMA. Do not use your own phone number to call as this will create a record that is visible to your cell service provider. 

Don’t disclose any information about SMA to emergency room staff if you do need to seek medical care. This is how most people who are arrested for SMA are reported. Healthcare providers are almost always who calls the police in cases of SMA criminalization. Contrary to popular belief, HIPAA does not protect your private health information from being shared with police if you are suspected of doing something that could be considered a crime. If you believe you need to seek urgent medical care, do not hesitate to go. Say “I think I’m having a miscarriage” and provide your symptoms. Do not mention any use of or purchase of abortion pills. There is no widely available test to detect misoprostol in your bloodstream. If you do not disclose it, there is no way for a medical provider to tell the difference between a medication abortion and a spontaneous miscarriage.
