“Oh, well, its kind of a long story but Luffy found me in this abandoned restaurant, all on my own, bloody and scared. As soon as he saw me he started to ramble on about himself, his friends, his journey, etc. He eventually asked if I knew how to cook--I could only shake my head at the time, and before I knew it I was along for the ride. I was so lost and confused, I only had to think about it for a moment before I was in tears thanking him. He already had a couple people with him at that point: Moss head, Usopp, and Nami.”  “As for your other two questions: I don’t know anyone close to me that has become a zombie--my dad and coworkers from this seaside restaurant I used to work at--I don't know how they are doing. Cooking wise? Yes, and no. Luckily for them I came along so they weren't eating whatever junk they could find...” 

BRO SAME

honestly, my hope for hiyori is for her to become a political powerhouse because she really does seem like the best candidate for it. yamato has definitly inherited oden’s will but he’s more interested in the ‘opening the country and exploring the world’ side of things. yamato is more about freedom than about leading.

and if the aftermath of all this, wano is definitely gonna need a strong leader to a) help rebuild and recover from everything orochi and kaido’s done and b) transition to being an “open country” and dealing with the world government.

and hiyori seems capable, on these fronts. she has experience being a public figure as komurasaki*. she’s shown to be kind and compassionate, but also a skilled manipulator, and is willing to be cruel in order to covertly help others. she seems like she’d be able to handle the bureaucracy of the world government without giving into it.

and like, momo is clearly struggling under the weight of expectation, to regards to living up to oden’s example. he’s being pushed to be like oden, instead of being himself. and he’s also, ya know, a small kid.

so it would make sense to me, character-wise, for hiyori to become a leader like her parents before her, and for momo to get development on being his own person rather than just oden’s son.

basically, i want hiyori to become a strong leader, cuz i think that would be cool to see.

“You smell nice,” Franky said suddenly.

“Don't eat me,” Brook responded, reflexively.

Franky laughed, a soft one that rumbled through his chest. “Not like that. You smell...” He trailed off and his head fell forward onto Brook’s lap. He was silent for a moment, long enough that Brook thought he had fallen asleep, but then he shifted to look up at Brook, cheek pressed into his pants, eyes half closed. 

“You smell like dust and paper and old wood. Like going into an attic full of boxes of memories for the first time. You smell like flowers and tea, even when you're not drinking any.” Franky’s eyes slid shut and he nestled more comfortably into Brook’s legs. “You smell like this place. Like home. It's nice.”

The last part was mumbled out and after a few moments, Franky’s breathing evened out as he slipped into sleep. Brook watched him, and gently began running his bony fingers through his hair. He glanced around the room, and it struck him how different it was from just a few months ago. Furniture had been rearranged, walls decorated and redecorated, things scattered about in the messy but organized way Franky was. It wasn't a moment frozen in time anymore, a bitter reminder of all the things he had outlived anymore. It was warm, and vibrant. It was lived in.
