Gol D Roger - Tumblr Posts
I’ve been rereading this lovely fic by @erinyra (it’s great I seriously recommend) and I’ve been doing some thinking and I do think Mihawk should get sick and it could be just like a passing illness or bug but something that lays him out for a bit and while yes I think a sick Mihawk would be adorable and terrifying and I love that for me.
I also think it’d be a way for Shanks to confront his probably latent issues with illness and seemingly untouchable people. After all his captain was as untouchable as they come, literally king of the pirates, but he still got sick and that ruined Shanks life. And here it is happening all over again. Mihawk probably the strongest most unflappable person he knows is sick with some unknown disease (not really his anxiety riddled mind just can’t process what Hongo is saying) And Shanks is not handling it…..well.
Shanks can withstand many things; any manner of injury or bodily harm to him and his loved ones that’s fine they can walk it off. but illness? he does not fuck with illness…

We should get to see Shanks and Rayleigh be slightly awkward family.
Mostly because I think they have a natural rhythm they’d fall into, they love each other after all theres alway been an easy camaraderie between them Shanks has always been the best parts of him and Roger and it’s hard not to be easy around him. but he’s also got their worst parts so it’d be one of those things where the lightness can never last and they get quiet with the weight of all the unsaid hurt between them. Because their captain was sick and then he died and then Ray abandoned him. And shanks still has so many suppressed issues about that.
Also I think their the type of people to do that cute knocking heads together thing and id pay good money way to see that.
kc my buddy my pal do u know any fun one piece amvs
Hello my good friend!
You've come to the right place I have many an assortment of one piece AMVs for you,
In seriousness it's so funny that you sent in this ask because I'd forgotten that I hadn't done an amv list in a while and also I hadn't actually watched that many one piece AMVs lol . I tend to not watch One piece content on youtube because once you watch one it fucks your algorithm for life so I'd only really had one that had stood out to me before this ask.
But never fear I set my search engine to incognito and perused the internet to find so lovely one piece AMVs for your selection.
this is the one that I had actually previously seen and it's my favorite I just feel likeit embodies all of One Piece's themes and joys outside of fighting (which I'm finding is not very common in the one piece amv community) and It's speaks to the childish joy that is at the heart of the series.
These are my top five of what I found. Enjoy!

Bonus because this wasnt my favorite but I just think that I'm still here (Jim's theme) from Treasure planet is actually so fitting for Ace it was a stroke of genius.
You do get the sense that the fallout of Roger's death and the Roger pirates disbanding not so much traumatized Buggy and Shanks indifferent ways but instead generated such drastically different reactions to the trauma.
While the trauma of everything seemed to push Shanks into the future, always constantly waiting for something, putting plans on hold and then later in place, for this great moment, this great coming that he sees on the Horizon. For Buggy it rooted him firmly in the past keeping him trapped in this grief masquerading as anger.
While Roger's death forced Shanks to grow up fast, it kind of arrested Buggy's development keeping him stuck in those same feelings, rooted int that same place.
You get the sense that Buggy's whole east blue schtick is just one long overdue rebellious phase one big fuck you to Roger and his ideals. He's rebelling against Roger's principles. One of their rules was don't steal from innocent people and Buggy was keeping a whole town in poverty. If Roger and Luffy's pirating styles are diametrically opposed to someone like Blackbeard, who might be the most literal pirate in the entire series, then buggy is the parody of that Blackbeard piratism. He is playing up cruelty, being the most piratey pirate possible, hell he's literally a clown on a stage. It's all a show! It's his own special way of trying to "get back at Roger" of trying to discard everything Roger taught him for this overacted, over exaggerated clownish cruelty. Mentally he never left that execution square. He is still 15, alone and scared.
Hell he literally never left either, while I'm pretty sure Shanks' booked it out of the east blue as fast as he could, Buggy never lef, might have never left, if not for Luffy. It's part of why Luffy bothers him so much, he's just like Roger everything that Buggy is trying hard to forget and here comes this kid, whose never even met the Captain but is wearing his hat, shoving it right back in his face.
It makes sense that he never leaves the east blue till Luffy literally forces him out of it (fucking with Luffy gets him captured and imprisoned) and it makes sense that it's Luffy that literally breaks him out of prison, literally sets him free, and on the path to greatness that maybe he was always meant to achieve (even if he trips his way into it). This boy that is tragically so much like his old captain but so beautifully unabashedly himself, is what Buggy needs to start letting go off the past, to start trying to move forward.
Maybe that's why Buggy, at what could arguably be described as his lowest moment, gets the strength to free himself from his own self imprisonment, realizing that even back then he was locking himself away and pinning his own dreams on Shanks. And, maybe for the first time ever, Buggy really own his dream. He declares to his tormentors and his crew and the entire world that; actually He wants to find the one piece, him, as captain of his own crew, this crew, not just a part of someone else's. That's his dream and he's willing to turn the world upside down to do it.
Look I like Roger enough, I understand what he represents and I generally don’t think he was a bad dude. I do however think he was shit at interpersonal relationships because, what the fuck. Whitebeards crew is infinitely more well adjusted and I’d say he arguably had the more traumatic death.
Like what even, what kind of planning leads a 53 year old man to sire a child knowing he is dying of an incurable illness and is about to turn himself in to be excuted by the marines where he will cause so much chaos it is literally still turning the world on its head 22 years later. He knew he was going to cause so much of a stir that he literally disbanded his crew and told them to spread far and wide to keep them safe. Because he knew the marines would hunt them far and wide But yet he still brought a baby into the world. Babe. What the fuck? What even is that? What was the thought process. I sincerely hope it was an accident and not a deliberate attempt to bring about a new era.
Because if so babe I need to see the recipe or I’m afraid we can never let you cook again
I was going to make a joke that Shanks doesn't have a hometown he's not from anywhere and if anything he'd be from god valley. just for me to google it and God Valley is in the west blue. Which really paints this scene in a new light. And maybe the Roger Pirates never left the west blue till baby Shanks was grown enough to hang in the grand line.
Which would mean that Shanks literally grew up on the waters of west blue, The oro jackson is his hometown. And the Roger pirates would have hung around enough for West Blue Sake to become Roger's favorite which he passes down to shanks.
and That's really neat
isnt the same west blue sake of the shirohige and roger last reunion? cause shirohige recognize the booze at first sight and shanks really took the origin of roger favourite sake as his hometown😭 thats roger cute alcoholic yearning baby child.. hes still clings to roger keeping him at his side..
he grew up with the west blue sake since he was a child so this really pointed that booze sake was roger fav drink who calmed down roger pain of his illness all his life around shanks so he is conected with the alcohol as his support, thinking on roger and his childhood with his family, the roger crew... as this drink calmed roger illness pain this is giving encourage to shanks like feeling roger closer
I feel like the main reason this evil shanks theory is so prevalent (besides the private meeting the the gorsei which up even I can’t explain) is that his general cheeriness and lackadaisical disposition is more of a presented front, a mask to be slipped on and off at will which would be fine if he weren’t often put in the same boat as Roger and Luffy two people ( for as much as we know about roger) who have no masks at all.
Don’t get me wrong I’m pretty sure that Shanks is a naturally happy, good natured dude but he’s also the most politically minded pirate we have seen on the show (and some of these pirates were actual politicians) like I’m pretty sure Roger is more mature and secretive than Luffy ( makes sense he’s older and has seen more of the world) but with both of them you never get the sense that their silliness is something they are putting on for the direct purpose of making themselves less of a threat. They both can get serious when the situation calls for it but that feels more of an extension of their already established personality more than a hidden personality.
While with shanks it’s undeniable that something changed within him and his goals the day Roger died I don’t know if Roger actually told him something or if he just wasn’t dealing with the abandonment well it was probably a mix of both honestly. But yeah Shanks comes off as a guy with his ear to the ground someone who has schemes on schemes on schemes. he’s someone playing in the long run, kind of like crocodile but not nefarious. And when compared with a straight forward head first always kinda guy like Luffy, like he often is, he can come off a little suspicious.
There’s something that’s a little fake about his cheer, something a little too performative about his optimism and foolishness. I think it’s a mix of; he’s housing a deep sadness, he’s more of a realist that an optimist and also dudes just a pacifist unlike like luffy who loves to brawl ( like luffy knows when it’s better not to fight but he also loves a good fight) and he would rather deescalate a situation than fight it out and sometimes the easiest way to do that is with an air of cluelessness and making yourself seem less of a threat which makes it so much more jarring but effective when he reveals just how big a threat he is. but I can see why people think it’s suspicious.
(Interestingly even when luffy tries to emulate this behavior like when he first encountered Bellamy at the pub his plan is to just not react which while in the same vain is very different than Shanks actively playing the drunken good natured take it on the chin role for the bandits Luffy was still essentially himself he just refused to react while Shanks played a role which made it more terrifying and effective when he stopped)
Also it doesn’t help that until recently he’s largely been missing from the narrative with just a man echoing or a whisper here or there of how powerful he is.
But I think we should remember that Shank’s goal is essentially world peace. and peace, a true lasting peace, is just a little more of a precarious balancing act, than utmost freedom. For freedom you have to destroy the old game, for peace you have to learn to play a new one, hopefully with a bit more kindness injected into the foundation.
It’s interesting that shanks is a red head and left handed both things associated with being of the devil in a lot of cultures.
I’m not cooking anything with this I just realized and thought it was interesting.
But also they are called Devil Fruits and so there is obviously some kind of devil figure in the world of one piece. And the celestial dragons especially holy knights and the gorsei are considered gods and we already know the D clan are the people meant to bring about the fall of the celestial dragons they are the “devils”. Between Roger and Luffy, Shanks is the only one in the Strawhat line not to bear the D which would make sense if his celestial dragon heritage was true. But Shanks doesn’t fit with the Ceiestial Dragons doesn’t have their “divinity” Shanks has red hair, red eyes and is left handed, he’s always been too much devil to be god.
He’s the fallen angel forming the link between two “devils” Roger and Luffy. Not quite a devil but not holy either.

This scene, the animation! The colors! The way Roger moves! Genuinely lives rent free in my head
Roger wanting Ace to find the One Piece all along has me an absolute train wreck.
He's just so calm about it and Rayleigh saying he doesn't have one when he KNOWS he's gonna is just so many feelings
Me: “I feel like watching Naruto. Let’s watch Naruto.”
My brother: “Okay. Let’s do it.” *puts One Piece on*
And that’s how it started
Taking a break from Impel Down to draw something ridiculous.
i think one of my favorite updated/modernized designs in one piece has to be roger. when we first saw him in the beginning of the series he was a grungy ass string bean pirate but now in the modern era (of flashbacks) he's been titted up assed up full on bimbofied for our viewing pleasure. he isn't the only character to have this treatment (shanks did too lmao) but roger def is the funniest
Oda really cuntified him like ??? this is crazy I totally understand why Rayleigh risked it all for this man I also desire him carnally
mihawk's judging buggy pretty hard for a guy who said yes to shanks's begging lol.
if the late pirate king's rizz technique aint broke, dont fix it!
Roger: We made it Rouge. We made the world's hottest baby.
Rogue: Say cute, Roger.
Roger: Nope. This kid is liquid fire.
makes this within like, 3 hours and throws it at tumblr because i NEEDED to make this with One Piece characters.
also because i think the idea of the Marines having a diversity initiative is the funniest shit in the world.
rbs > likes pls
edit: i'm moving all my art to my art blog here: @vergilbergart
✨️ like father, like son ✨️
was talking to @eastbluesaga about how buggy dresses and acts more like roger, and how shanks dresses and acts more like rayleigh. the parallels are so good! especially considering buggy's getting pushed into the limelight now as the series ends, and how shanks has been making moves more in the background like a dark horse (or a dark king, perhaps?) this entire time.
like, you'd want to compare shanks to roger at first, especially considering the straw hat legacy, but shanks seems to be aware that it's more his role to facilitate than to be in the light himself--a similar role i assume rayleigh took as first mate of the pirate king. conversely, buggy's being quickly propelled into an advantageous position that spotlights him as important--a key figure in all things, surprisingly like a king, even tho he never quite believed he could have that for himself (and then hid in the east blue, where his captain was born!!!).
them!!!
