An old drawing I did for Luffy's birthday with all his crewmates!

1. Nami really struggled with her 1st birthday after being free, so the tradition is you cannot buy her gift out right. It must either be stolen or you have to present a receipt proving you haggle it to 90% off. Usopp and Chopper love to tell the exaggerated story of how they stole it too.

2. Usopp is in charge of keeping track of all the birthdays coming up, mostly because he's one of the 1st people to remember to ask new members when their birthday is. Nami handles the actual party planning though.

3. On Usopps birthday the tradition is to tell your most outrageous story to him and he gets to judge which one lives up to Captain Usopps standards.

4. On Sanjis birthday Nami stands outside the kitchen with her clima tact to beat him if he tries to work. He's too much of a workaholic to want to take the day off so she forces him to and Robin is in charge of small meals and the cake that day.

5. They also have to beat Frank and Usopp out of the workshop on their birthdays.

6. Zoro wasn't able to have his 1st birthday with the crew until after the time skip. He's not super picky, he just request more expensive booze than normal and the crew tries to keep Luffy from giving him another concussion(it doesn't work)

7. Robin originally lied about her birthday and forgot to correct it until it came time to plan for the fake day. Luffy and Usopp gave her the biggest "we're not angry just disappointed" look and it was too cute for her to handle.

8. Choppers birthday is never allowed to be a double holiday celebration. It goes against the strawhat way to not party for every single opportunity. Luffy like to decorate his antlers as a crown and Chopper loves the affection. Nami does approve which treasure he's allowed to use as decorations though.

9. Jimbes birthday serves as a moment of calm in between the chaos that is Usopps and Brooks parties.
