So I Saw This Template And Couldnt Resist

My one piece animatic is done! It’s fully colored and about 50 drawings long— it would mean I lot of you would like to check it out!

Short preview:

OP this hc was wayyyy to good to not draw, i hope this artist rendition gave it the justice it deserved ☺️ (Love the sanji angst <33)

The Hc that Sanji has a small 3 tattoo from Germa BUT he wasn't even aware of it

all of the Vinsmoke kids were tattooed according to their corresponding numbers at a very young age. Young enough that there’s no memory of actually getting the tattoo

Sanji's is very small and the ink was his Germa assigned color yellow, which makes it blend in with his skin a bit. The numbers were printed small and thin to remain inconspicuous. After all, the kids all have noticeable differences, so the tattoos were more of a formality, an insurance, rather than a functioning identifier. essentially the numbers can go unnoticed without careful inspection— and there would be no reason for the kids to analyze their own backs

luffy is the first person to comment on it. he has a knack for catching small details, especially when it pertains to his crew. Maybe he spots it when Sanji is changing or it catches his eye after a shirtless sanji rescues him from the water. Either way, Luffy curiously asks about the mark on Sanjis back. Sanji has no idea what he’s referring to so he dismisses it as another weird Luffy comment and Luffy moves on to something else catching his interest

Chopper is the one who actually tells Sanji about it. After he performs surgery on sanjis back, he informs him that his tattoo was not damaged in any way from his injury or operation. This time Sanji freezes. He has questions- after all Chopper is a medical professional and has no reason to make up stories or ask random meaningless questions. Chopper uses a mirror to show sanji exactly where the tattoo is placed on his back and Sanji goes silent once he realizes what it is and where it must have come from

Chopper is curious about how Sanji ended up with a tattoo he has no memory of, but Sanji waves him off with a lie about getting drunk and entering a tattoo parlor. Chopper respects Doctor-Patient confidentiality of course, so he never brings up the mysterious tattoo again.

Sanji goes to great lengths to keep anyone else from seeing the tattoo. In the bunk room he changes with his back to the wall and in the bath he sinks deeper into the water. No one will ever see his exposed back again.

When he’s alone, Sanji looks at very little else. He quickly learns the best way to position himself to study his reflection. He stares long enough to memorize his own back. He learns he has a few freckles dotted along his spine, his shoulder blades stick out slightly more than average, and of course he knows just how striking the color yellow can be. His eyes are drawn to the mark like a magnet and at times he can practically feel it burning into his skin

He hates it. It’s a direct link to his past- the one he was told to never speak of. It’s like Germa is mocking him… yet he also feels conflicted by it. He rejects Germa, but he can’t help but wonder what his younger self would have thought about being forever marked as one of them. He wonders if it would have made accepting his banishment harder. He wonders if Judge even remembers that the tattoo was given to him.

In the end he manages to push it aside like he does with all of his other Germa memories. Even if it disturbs and sickens him whenever he remembers what is printed on his back, he moves forward.

Until Whole Cake of course. It’s a cruel reminder that Sanji had never actually been free; that he’d been branded as theirs since birth and his years after escaping their clutches was only borrowed time.

(Until Luffy reminds him that freedom is something he will always ensure for his friends. He reminds him that Sanji has never been one of them.)

Back on Whole Cake when Sanji sees Reiju again he asks her about the tattoos; if she knew of their existence. He doesn’t know why he’s surprised when she stares at him blankly and says she always knew.

The follow-up

oh usopp….

Hi! Normally I send a message to bloggers(?) that I like by making a pretty low effort drawing on my phone's gallery. But you're getting special treatment and getting a headcannon of mine instead.. shh.

Usami headcanon that won't get out of my head: Usopp and Nami are half-siblings. Kind of.. Belle'mére and Banchina were pretty much best friends, and so were Usopp, Nami and Nojiko (haha a marine and the wife of a pirate haha). Usopp is the youngest, wow. Anyways, all of them lived at Syrup Village, which was somewhat close to Cocoyashi, so after Banchina lost the fight with her illness, they moved over to Cocoyashi and Belle'mére adopted Usopp because she's the sweetest.. despite struggling to feed herself and the kids. After Arlong's capture of Coco Vil, Usopp somehow managed to escape and go back to Syrup Village. He DID try to drag Nami and Nojiko with him, but you know, whole Nami's backtory ordeal.. So he escaped alone. This sneaky pinocchio always managed to atleast wave a hi to them everyday, but the guilt of not being able to help his 'sisters' would always prevail. They always communicated through letters until Arlong discovered all of it and made poor Nami suffer more, and doubled the fishmen around, so Usopp couldn't even keep contact with anybody there. They only began talking again close to when we discover Nami's past, when she's already 18, but Luffy didn't meet her yet at this point. As guessed it was something pretty angsty and Usopp's saddened look would simply be responded with ignorance—still, we know he always felt how she was also hurt from inside. So when they properly reunite again in the Strawhat crew, it's pretty awkward and uncomfortable, really. Usopp is afraid of saying something and worsening everything, but he knows he needs to say sorry. It's not like Nami really blames him for everything but, damn.. At some point they get to reconciliate with the rights of bazillion tears and apologies. Of course something from YEARS took a bit of time to heal all its scars, but now, Usopp and Nami are one of the most inseparable (is that how you write it?) duos in this wacky and pretty mix of a pirate crew. Yes, maybe they still not so secretely consider eachother siblings and YES, they still catch themselves calling the other "lil bro" or "big sis". WHO CARES IF IT'S JUST ONE YEAR DIFFERENCE? I DON'T?!??!

just sent this to say that I am in LOVE wih your overall style like ejndjdj?? It's so so good-looking and it's all so cutesy!!

AHHHH THE ABSOLUTE JOYFUL JUMPSCARE I GOT FROM THIS??? FIRST OF ALL, ABSOLUTELY HONORED TO BE GIVEN SPECIAL TREATMENT IN THE FORM OF SUCH AN AWESOME HC AND THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS MADE MY WEEK🫶🫶, SECONDLY OH MY GOODNESS I never would’ve thought abt this but it just FITS so well and THE BELLE-MÈRE AND BANCHINA FRIENDSHIP UGH, emotionally kicked me in the stomach with the letters and Arlong (Hate him, would happily make sushi out of him and feed him to the sea kings any time of the week) but still so happy with their duo coming together once again ( AND THE LIL BRO/BIG SIS THING UGH MY HEART!!)

(Currently thinking about how Nojiko and Ussop’s meeting would’ve changed, Ussop’s dynamic with Sanji (Considering the ‘NAMI-SWANNNN’ thing, possible protective lil bro??), and just Ussop and NAMI in general <33)

as a token of my appreciation please have this 🫶
