i doodled a val in her jammies for @echoingonepiece !

from a “kaguya causes the apocalypse and if there’s going to be comparisons between team minato and team kakashi, obito is team minato’s sakura goddammit” au that i am probably never going to write in full:

Obito is not terribly hard to understand, Sakura thinks, which is probably one of her top five worst realizations.

Maybe top three. She isn’t sure yet.

“I mean, no offense,” she adds to the man in question, who has joined her for first watch and is currently attempting to carve a better duck than she can. Neither of their ducks look very good. Or recognizable. “It’s just that you murdered Naruto’s parents and then tried to murder us. Repeatedly.”

He inclines his head in acknowledgment. “Casting a genjutsu with the moon sounded really cool when I was twelve,” he says. It’s a joke, probably, but then he goes on to say, “And exponentially easier than actually trying to get what I want,” and Sakura has the sinking feeling that he is being entirely genuine.

She can’t even blame him. That’s exactly the kind of reasoning that she would have had as a twelve-year-old.

here’s another monkey d. luce while i try and settle on a usual outfit for them

lil bits of trivia:

not pictured is their absolute treasure, a log pose necklace that shanks gave them that leads to cat island on the grand line. as its name suggests, it’s an island full of cats. luce is waiting desperately for their chance to go to it

luce makes ace promise to take pictures of every cat he sees while he’s seafaring. ace has a film camera at first and later picks up a snail camera (or, as luce and luffy will later call it, a snamera named snace)

luce would describe themselves as a cat, but sabo is of the private opinion that they’re much more like a monkey, considering how often they latch onto ace

(later, when luce and luffy begin making names for themselves and luffy’s called “straw hat” and luce is called “monkey,” sabo just laughs)

luce has a tendency to blurt things out without thinking. this leads to incidents such as seeing marco in person for the first time and, taking him all in, his mop of hair and teal-and-eggplant ensemble, blurting out “are you balding?”

drawing in colored pencil is an experience

top image is my oc luce and @echoingonepiece‘s oc val (from their one piece fanfic echoes, which i am never not going to hype) in the au we made where one piece characters are in the naruto world and the revolutionary army is the equivalent of akatsuki. sabo runs away from konoha to join the revolutionaries, and val sets off on a self-assigned retrieval mission that, predictably, goes sideways. as a revolutionary, luce gets to keep hanging out with sabo, and No Val Isn’t Bitter About It Shut Up

and here’s previous doodles of luce since it was on the same sheet as the others, including one that i posted earlier

apparently i haven’t drawn in *checks last written date* a month, so it figures that the first thing i draw is si/oc

here’s monkey d. luce, luffy’s twin! they like to pick out hawaiian shirts for ace to wear, then wear those shirts themselves. sabo pretends that he doesn’t know who they are when they’re in public. who is that stranger tagging along with his brothers? he has no clue. you’ll have to ask someone else.

garp and dragon both say that luce is just like their grandmother. luce still doesn’t know how to feel about that.
