Day 1 | Jean Bart Wanted to do some sketches of my favorite pirate crew for the Heart Pirates week!
Tiny pirates living in your walls
(Borrowers AU I was thinking of)
If i can draw, this is the type of thing that i will draw
God forbid me to draw cause i will draw this, maybe a what if after that chapter
I see this in tik tok and like "oh what if that are law and bepo"
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to those who celebrate!! Also Oda himself told me that Rosi lived and retired on Swallow Island to raise the Heart Pirates
A quick doodle of these three because I love them so so much >:D
(I never draw bgs pls don’t look too hard 😭🙏)
He was intriguing. That was a word you could describe Trafalgar Law as. With his expression hidden behind that hat and his seemingly elaborate plans, there's no question he is.
At first when you had met him in the bustling groves of the Sabaody Archipelago you wouldnt have guessed he would become an ally.
The crew had split up, exploring the place known to be a stop for both pirates and nobles alike. You had ended up exploring the market for something new to wear, this time with your own money instead of borrowed money from Nami that lead to a perilous amount of interest.
Little did you know that you were as famous as your bounty poster suggested, bumping into crews that not only knew your friends but also you too.
First impressions matter, no matter where you are and who you're dealing with and the first thing you said when your gaze fell on him there was certainly a lasting impression.
The dark circles, the goatee, the large hat and especially the jeans.
The Surgeon of Death
"You look like a backalley doctor."
Not only did he look shocked, but also offended. Mainly because his own crew were hiding their guffaws horribly, seeing the vision of what you meant.
This was before everything had gone haywire and crews were forced to claw their way out of the doors of death from which Admiral Kizaru and the Pacifistas had the keys to.
Now sitting on the chair beside Luffy in the hospital room aboard the Polar Tang, having flashes of the war playing through your mind left you unaware of the footsteps approaching. The so called "Surgeon of death" had become part of your usual routine, mainly checking on your wounds and informing you on your captain's condition.
You watched as he checked Luffy's vitals. You never left your friend's side since that day, not trusting anyone. Afterall, he was the only one in the crew who's state of being you were sure of.
"Are you going to keep glaring at me the whole time?" His voice broke through your thoughts as you absentmindedly watched him take out bandages he would use to redress Luffy's wounds
"Hm?"
He rolled up his sleeves, allowing more of those tattoos to be visible as he washed his hands. Your eyes fell on those inked hands that both saved lives as a doctor and the cause of unknown terrors as a pirate.
"You're worried about Strawhat-ya?" He stated, lifting Luffy's body as carefully as he could under your harsh gaze.
"Partly," You began, crossing your arms, " I'm curious. Why?"
Law felt something invisible wrap around his neck as soon as his hands had gone off of your captain. He had heard about one of the strawhats having a mysterious devil fruit. One that didn't need the beholder to even lift a finger.
He smirked, feeling your power pressing harder on his neck and allowing little air to flow through his body,"Why?"
Somehow he kept a somewhat confused expression despite the dire consequences of your actions.
"I'm not playing around, Trafalgar."
"I know you're not."
He had a chance to just throw you and Luffy out into sea. You were both anchors afterall. Turn you in for your bounties. Tortured us for treasure. Cut your organs up for whatever sick operations landed him the title he held.
So many questions in your vigilant mind .
"I felt like it," Law said, not being fully honest but also not lying. His eyes didn't leave your face, gauging out your reaction.
"Sounds like something a backalley doctor would say." You let go of him, watching as he took deep breaths to control the panic that he has hidden behind his calm facade.
"DINNERS READY!" a yell from somewhere aboard the ship had called out.
"Sorry for that." You said, no longer looking at him and instead focusing on your unconscious captain. Your fingers had intertwined with his, feeling his pulse at the wrist with your fingers to remind you that he was still alive, even after all the death and destruction of the war
Law hummed in thought, hands lingering on his neck before letting go of the initial threat to his life." I'll have dinner sent to you."
He walked out of the room to join his crew, leaving you to your thoughts as you guarded Luffy.
Two things were decided. One. You wouldn't leave your captain's side until he would wake up.
Two. Trafalgar Law found you just as intriguing.
Actually staying true to the spam uploads, here is this 'wonderful' piece that I made earlier than the Sabo piece. I said this on my other platforms, but this was one I did as an experiment for both a sticker design, as well as coloring the line art. Needless to say, I absolutely hate this abomination of a piece. (But, I think that's just what comes with the gig of being an artist. You experiment, and 99% of them you hate before finding one you actually like, lol)
Screenshot redraw practice featuring Traffy/Law on clip studio 🤭 He’s hot and a cutie at the same time, it’s not fair!
Some sketches of my version of fem!Bepo since I don't really liked Oda's.
When you always worry about your crew's safety and bc of this always tell them do not draw attention to themselves.
But your cook got too silly in Onigashima.
Some One Piece OC and OCxCanon nonsense bc therapy is expensive but drawing blorbos is not.
Can't belive I've never told you guys I have an One Piece OC who is like one of my main source of serotonin in almost a year now (he's much older than one year actualy, but I've got hyperfixated on him just year ago.) So have a bunch of my fav sketches of him A bit of info about him is under the spoiler
So yeah, meet Mortimer. He is a cook of Heart pirates crew. Dorky and playful guy, flirty, teasing, VERY affectionate to those who's he trust enough. But also have almost zero self-preservation, low self-esteem, very overprotective and easily triggered for violence (he geniunely tries to not to buuuut). He is a former celestial dragon's slave/pet (how unique, I know!) so yeah, it messed up his head pretty much.
Also ate zoan devil fruit, model eagle owl.
Feel free to ask things about him, I'd love to infodump :""^)
(Green-haired girl is @/mooseypersonal's OC, Sanai!)
i don't get how people could think that law is going to be part of the strawhats. he has his own crew. are the heart pirates nothing to them? do these people just ignore their existence, or do they think law is the type to, i don't know, abandon them forever to go be part of another pirate crew? law would never do that, and never in his life has he shown interest in doing that. he's not going to be part of the straw hat pirates. he has his own thing going on, he said it multiple times.
Please more thoughts about Penguin x Shachi 🤩😋
of course anon!!!
penguin x shachi!
god i just cannot be normal about them. they make me insane. paradoxically, the more i'm fixated on a ship the harder it seems to find the words to talk about them. seeing them or even thinking about them at all just makes my mind shut down lol. but i'll try my best to write something that isn't a nonsensical ramble about how they make my brain short circuit <3
something i love about them is how insanely close they seem to be. actually, that's the main reason i ship them. every moment one of them is on screen, the other is there too, right beside him. it's something so comforting but also so concerning, not in a bad way of course, but in a "what the fuck is wrong with them /affectionate" way. and the thing is, nothing's wrong with them, they're just like that! they've spent their whole life together, never a moment apart, so of course they're going to keep spending every waking moment attached to each other's hip. and the whole crew has just accepted it. no one ever questions it, it's just a given that they'll always be carrying out their missions together.
actually, we saw someone questioning it once, in the first chapter of law novel's second installment. i've been meaning to talk about this in a (long overdue) separate post, so i won't go into detail on it, but this is the gist of it. when something kept the two of them apart for the first time, it was an actual disaster. both of them almost cried in front of the rest of the crew because they were made to sleep in separate rooms, and they weren't used to it; penguin was the more mature one about it, but when shachi started to complain about the decision, penguin almost cried. law, bepo and hakugan laughed at shachi, because the whole thing was so stupid to them: i mean, a 17 year old crying about not being able to sleep in the same room as his buddy? but penguin didn't laugh. he made fun of shachi a bit, but then there he was, trying his hardest to keep his composure and not end up getting ridiculed like shachi did. yeah. i can't believe this moment is canon either.
what i'm trying to say is, they've both proved, in different ways, that their bond is very, very important to them. it's essential to their wellbeing, i'd say. they just work better together, and no one is allowed to come between them. that's exactly what i love about them.
⚡️💖 LET'S JAM! 💖⚡️
Here are all the requests I got the other day! This was super fun! I can totally see myself doing it again some time in the future.
+ The sketches and some exploration / warm-ups underneath
^ I did two exploration sketches for Penguin & Shachi! They're a package deal so of course it was always gonna be both of them. You can also see a random Yonji for warm-up lol. These also gave me the chance to practice a few art stuff I've wanted to work on!
Sanji kicking Luffy might be unironically my favorite gestural drawing I've done so far. Thank you for that one!
I got to explore a more complex pose / interaction between 2 characters with Shachi and Penguin + downward head angles!
Caesar has some funny perspective / foreshortening with the proto-SMILE in his hand (also, I chose to draw young Caesar since I've already drawn his current design plenty of times lol).
And with Baby 5, I wanted to work with curve & line flow! I chose to go for her instead of Usopp since I draw him like, all the time lmao.
It was all fun! Thank you everyone who sent in requests!
heart pirates dumpppp :D
novel law's english localization has just been announced!!!
even though my first language isn't english and we already have an official localization where i live, i'm still celebrating. i hope this gets more people interested in the novel! it's full of information on how the heart pirates were born, and it gives a new perspective on law and how he manages grief. i think it's a must read for every heart pirates fan, so i'm glad they finally decided to publish an official english translation. make sure to grab a copy when it's out!
Hi 😊👋 I'm a huge fan of Law too. I've just finished reading Law novel too. Maybe you want to share your thoughts on this asks:
Does Law see his crew as subordinates or friends? Would you say that Law has a weakness for people who have a trauma too? 🤔
i'm sure law sees them all as his friends.
at the start of the novel, when law asks bepo, shachi and penguin if they want to stay with him and wolf, it's not because law and wolf actually need someone that can help them with their tasks, it's just because law wants to offer them a safe place to stay, but he's not in touch with his emotions enough to admit it. when he recruits them, he even calls them his subordinates explicitly, but it's clearly just a part of his façade; again, he's not ready to admit he cares about them yet. sure enough, by the end of the first novel, he refers to them as his friends, and has matured enough to admit he loves them and realize that he can count on them. also, the fact law often seems to separate from his crew before he gets into any dangerous situation is kind of relevant to this conversation: he prefers to go solo or to form a temporary alliance with other pirate crews because he doesn't want to put his crew in danger, not because he thinks they aren't strong enough. he always tries to keep his crew safe no matter what, because they're more than allies to him, they're his friends, his family, and the only people he has left. this is also the reason the clash against the blackbeard pirates is so heartbreaking: law tried his best to protect his crew, because he didn't want to, once again, experience the loss of the people he loves most, but he couldn't do anything to prevent it.
i do think law finds himself drawn to other people with trauma, especially if their trauma is in any way related to their families. even though law always tries to hide his actions behind the "i acted on a whim" excuse, it's clear that his empathy gets the best of him when he has to choose whether to recruit someone for his crew. we've seen this with every crew member with a canon backstory: first it was bepo, who set sail to try and find his brother and found himself stranded and alone; then it was penguin and shachi, who lost their families and ended up being used and abused by the adults that should have protected them; and now, in the newest chapter, it's hakugan, who lost his parents and has to bear the responsibility of raising his little sister alone. all of them are scarred and survived multiple traumatic events. law sees his reflection in his crewmates, when he looks into their eyes he can see the little boy he once was, scared, alone and devoid of purpose. that's why he's so determined to help them, and offers them a place in his crew with no hesitation: he wants to be to them what cora was to him, even though he probably doesn't realize it.
thank you so much for your question, anon!
i love how every member has their own unique pose. i'm sure they thought about this for the longest time and spent days practicing it too... they're so cute. just a bunch of dorks united by their love for their captain
this moment is Extremely tiny and easy to miss but it's so dear to me. the fact shachi got scared because of something stupid like jinbe going on deck is so funny and also somehow endearing? and the way penguin doesn't react to shachi hiding behind him means this must be a regular occurrence...
Been forever since I've drawn something, especially on a tablet. Had this idea in my head for about a week but realizing it was going to be Law's birthday was ultimately what decided it for me. I think he so deeply regrets never having gotten to tell Cora he loved him that Law can't bring himself to not respond whenever someone else he loves tells him so. A fact his crew totally doesn't abuse except for when they do.
new official art for law's birthday!!!
the hearts baked him a cake... this is the sweetest thing ever
