Credit to goofball because the idea of the crew freeloading off of luffy was something I unconsciously thought of based on their au and only realize that after I made the plot š
(I realized after typing everything Luffyās reference image has a damn line thatās not supposed to be there, pretend its not there for my sanity)
Some of this was also based on epic the musical except there is no one fighting to get home, the nations tension is not because they want to marry a queen for riches, there is no queen Luffy is literally the only royal who stayed (unwilling)
Garp rather than run a kingdom like a king would, became the armyās general, manās is almost never there because heās too busy beating up people.
Dragons not there either, he decided to run off and fight Tyrants as a revolutionary (he needed to keep up his deadbeat streak/j).
Sabo and Ace have a little more to them, (doomed ASL fuels me)
Ace: Garp went to war with Aceās father, and instead of killing baby Ace, throwing him off the tower and such, Garp decided to raise him as his own, since Ace was the son of an enemy king he was still bullied and he has the same complex because Ace loving his dad is not a thing that should happen.
When Ace got older he decided to leave the kingdom for the same reason he did in the original plot, to find a purpose to live,(he did hesitate leaving but Luffy encouraged him to go.)
Aces does eventually run into White-beard and others but I didnāt think that much far ahead, Iāll probably add more to Aces story in future.
Sabo: Sabo was actually an orphan child who ended up meeting Ace than Luffy, and then decided to just live with them
When Sabo got older like around 17 he learned about what Dragon was doing and traveled to find a revolutionary and to join their cause.
(He did get burned though because taking away his burn scar would be criminal, Iāll get back to that in future)
Since Luffy (who is like 14-13 in this au) was the only real royal member whoās actually stayed in the damn nation, heās usually the one that has to hear the peopleās complaints, People have also tried to take advantage of the situation by trying to sway Luffyās to make laws for them, or they want to kill him since wen heās dead no one is left the fill the throne leaving it wide open for the taking.
This looming threat of being assisted or kidnapped never stoped the rubber bastard and he would run off all the time, heās had to been dragged back screaming clawing and biting so much Knights have war flashbacks about that animal.
The guardās dragging him back never stopped him from finding people who he thought was interesting and encouraging them to stay in the Castle with him so he wouldnāt be alone
I will definitely add more onto this 10000% I love the au so much, next post will be about the straw hats (and how luffy got his straw hat) with reference drawings of them and maybe a comic
Au itās based on https://www.tumblr.com/kitchup/774847258849099776/one-piece-royal-au
I kinda donāt like this, but it was either finish and post it or throw it away so here we are, anyways hereās me adding zoros plot along with this stupid little comic
Zoro: He got arrested for doing something stupid, but the gaurds were like ādamn heās goodā and gave him the opportunity to get good pay and other perks working ābabysitting dutyā Zoro was oblivious to the devil child he was about to have to deal with, poor man.
Ide say heās around 16-17 in this au, I made luffy pretty young so I thought why not just make everyone else a little younger and since itās āyee olden timeā their age is not so out of place.
(Heads up there will be no shipping in this au, there is no ship better than friendship.)
Alright Iām gonna need someone to make a list of good Asl fanfics, Iāve seen too much incest scrolling through the A03 tag
I donāt think the voting is happening on tumbler but I spent too long on this not to share.
on a scale from one to ten how much to you like asl
ten is a meager amount compared to how much i love them
I had this idea for a modern Nami design where she has a green hair tie with leaves as the bow and now I want it in real life
(yes I literally spend my time designing op characters in different auās because I love character designing)
The way this made me laugh out loud
more like waterwings of the pirate king with how many times that guy falls into the ocean
Oc art, Itās based on a villain of a comic I want to do at some point, maybe I will try and make sheets and stuff, listening to Talia while typing this, an ascending experience (the fire sucks but pretend you donāt see it )
i wanna talk about this shot
You donāt really get to see modern Fae Luffy in this au so I just had to draw what I think heād look like, Iāll maybe draw more fanart of this au in future because its consuming my brain and I want to make some Sabo art at some point lmao.
(Luffyās design references sheet)
Me nerding about it:
I wanted to give him that fae look by giving him pointed ears clear skin and those goddamn neon eyes, I also gave him some gold earrings because why have so much ear if you never pierce ears.
For his shirt I wanted to keep the red shirt but give it a more forest fantasy look, I slightly based it more on the post time skip, which takes me to the open back shirt, listen. Itās fancy itās cool it serves let me have this please Iām just a girl.
His belt has some gold accents and bags to carry food and shiny things.
Jorts. Jorts.
I gave him longer sandals simply because thatās the only way on gods green earth I could see them surviving half the shit he does to them.
