Trope Pantheons Discussion

Did anyone salvage/archive the old profile I made of The Iron Throne before the great treasury rework?

While I don't really know about whether it's been archived, you should just admit that you want to work on bringing in the Iron Throne as a Treasury. And if you can't find said archive, just make a profile from scratch and go off from there.

I already got permission for the idea, I was just wondering. I guess I'll just use the Wayback Machine

This has enough bullets to be approved now, but I'm hoping to add at least one more bullet about visitors. Any ideas?

The Scorched Queen's Kingdom, Land of Perpetual Storms

^{The Smoldering City} 

^{A settlement} 

• Fictional Settings
• Description: A city on top of a volcano, surrounded by an expanse of forests.
• Symbol: The Scorched Queen's mask
• Alignment: The forests are Chaotic Evil; the city is Lawful Neutral
• Theme Music: Forest Lights
• Portfolio: Roguelike Construction and Management Game, Bizarre Seasons, inhabited by humans, beavers, lizards, harpies, foxes, and Always Chaotic Evil fishmen, Black-and-Grey Morality, covered by an Intelligent Forest, giant mushrooms in the Marshlands, Fire/Water Juxtaposition
• Domains: Rain, fire, forests, fear
• Visitors: Hina Amano, Cacofonix, Folktails & Iron Teeth
• The Smoldering City is the only safe haven in a world cursed with perpetual rain. Build atop a volcano after the Great Civil War that nearly drove the harpies who inhabited it to extinction, the mysterious Scorched Queen uses her powers to ensure that the sun still shines. The city is surrounded on all sides by hostile, sentient forests that only the ferocious fishmen can thrive in, and she sends her viceroys to lead expeditions into them in order to gather resources. The forests grow more enraged as people populate them and cut down their trees; the only things they fear are fire and the queen's wrath. Every few decades, a cataclysm called the Blightstorm washes the world clean and rearranges the landscape, forcing everyone to return to to the city.
• The rain is magically charged, and it comes in three varieties. During the drizzle, when the forests are at their safest, it's green. During clearance, when farmers gather their crops and there are occasional gaps in the clouds, it's yellow. During the storm, when the forests are at their most dangerous, it's blue. All three kinds of water can be used to power rainpunk engines in manufacturing buildings, but at a cost: it causes blightrot cysts to appear in settlements, flower-like growths that open during the storm and will kill villagers if they aren't burned in time. Despite the constant rain, it never floods.
• There are six kinds of forests:
  • The Royal Woodlands are the most hospitable biome, relatively speaking. They're full of green trees, fertile soil, and useful plants, so they're recommended for beginner viceroys. They were once part of the Smoldering City until the forest reclaimed them.
  • It's difficult to farm in the harsh, cold Marshlands because of the hard and rocky soil. Instead, they're full of tree-like fungi and huge amounts of gatherable resources. If you're lucky, you might find giant wheat, leviathan corpses, or mushrooms in the deepest glades.
  • The trees of the Scarlet Orchards look like giant roses and are filled with copper. They're full of skeletons of giant creatures that once plagued the land, such as spiders, scorpions, and sea serpents, so viceroys are allowed to conduct archaeological expeditions to uncover them. Due to its abundance of fertile soil, herbs, berries, and roots, it's also known as the kingdoms' herb garden.
  • Unlike the other biomes, Coral Forests contain three types of trees: mineral-rich crimsonreach trees, shelled and fleshy musselsprout trees, and fibrous plateleaf trees. Contrary to popular belief, they don't grow in areas that were once flooded; instead, the aquatic aesthetic is due to the influence of coral. Settlers find them beautiful despite their dangers.
  • The Cursed Royal Woodlands are full of death. The trees are barren and infested with insect larvae, and it's haunted by ghosts from the Great Civil War. Some ghosts will merely disappear if they aren't appeased, but more hostile ones will curse settlements as well. In the other forests, the safest glades are smaller, but here, they're all the same size, making it impossible to assess their danger in advance.
  • The Sealed Forests are home to ancient beings called the Sealed Ones, who seem to have a connection to the Blightstorm. During the storm season, they unleash terrible plagues upon villagers. Most of its trees writhe and appear to have faces, and the biggest ones resemble flowers covered in thorns. Viceroys must undergo several trials in order to close the seals, and doing so increases the amount of time between Blightstorms.
• The majority of the kingdom's population consists of five species:
  • Humans once had their own kingdoms until the Blightstorm came. They specialise in farming and brewing, and are typically the last to leave failing settlements. Their buildings are made of brick and planks, with white walls and blue roofs.
  • Most beavers are members of the Smoldering City's merchants guild. They're hard workers who specialise in lumber and engineering, but can also be demanding. Their buildings are made of warm-brown planks, with rounded edges and spikes on each corner.
  • Lizards are resilient but distrustful carnivores. Were it not for the Scorched Queen's sudden appearance, their clans may have lost the Great Civil War. They're excellent at handling livestock, and they prefer to work in warm buildings. Their buildings are made of bricks and cloth, with red, spiked roofs and dark grey walls.
  • Harpies are all infected by a blightrot-like disease that makes it difficult for them to fly. They specialise in gathering herbs and using them in alchemical recipes, and love working with cloth. Despite their graceful appearance, they have a wild and aggressive side. Their buildings are made of cloth, with white walls, purple roofs, and gold accents.
  • Foxes specialise in working with rainwater, so they developed a symbiotic relationship with the blightrot. They have a deep bond with the forest and are the fastest scouts, meaning that viceroys can rely on them to do anything from opening crates to feeding wild kaiju. Unfortunately, they're also easily susceptible to starvation. Despite being mortal, no fox graves have ever been found. Their buildings have green roofs, silver walls, and are made of planks, cloth, and a crystallised dew.
• While the entire kingdom is open to visitors, it's so inhospitable that few want to visit it. Hina Amano and Cacofonix both have the ability to summon rain at will, which makes them unwelcome in most places, but their powers don't make much of a difference here. The Folktails and Iron Teeth, who come from a world plagued by droughts, were intrigued by a place with an endless supply of water. Both of their settlements made trade agreements with the merchants guild. The Folktails enjoy the kingdom's delicacies such as biscuits and pickles, while the Iron Teeth plan to build rain engines to power their factories.

Xiao was once a section director of the Liu Association, a mercenary association specializing in combat and warfare and their members utilize fire in their equipment. Xiao herself manifested E.G.O in which her flames become far more potent, to the point her very presence scorches her foes.

Maybe The Courier could travel there despite their grievances with the restless forest given their experiences trekking Vault 22. They did manage to brave places like the Divide.

Test run on the Ishimura. I'm going with the one seen in the Remake.

Planet Cracker Starship Ishimura (USG Ishimura, The Ishi, Savior of the Earth and its Colonies, Pride of the CEC, [石村])

• It's said that in space, no one can hear you scream. However, if you were on board the USG Ishimura during the Necromorph Outbreak, then no one could hear you scream bloody murder. High up in low-planet orbit, the Ishimura shockpoints in, silent and foreboding. The Ishimura beckons those looking for treasure, or to unravel its secrets. But Issac Clarke knows better. The Ishimura is a ship of nightmares, and if you're lucky to survive the hordes of Necromorphs and the batshit insane Unitologist fanatics, you will not be the same. Issac knows first hand, as he was among a handful of Survivors who traveled to the Ishimura and lived to tell the tale. As a live feed of the Ishimura is sent back to the Pantheon, Issac couldn't help but to quote Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven: "Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing..."

The Crewmates may sometimes go on the Ishimura in order to have a higher-stakes game of Among Us where both crewmate and imposter can be killed by monsters.

I haven't seen any of the Alien films, but since you potholed to it, gods such as Ellen Ripley could explore the Ishimura.

Samus Aran, Master Chief/John-117, The Doom Slayer, and Commander Shepard all fought lovecraftian zombies like Phazon, the Flood, the Legions of Hell, and the creations of the Reapers.

It just occurred to me that I could add paragraphs to the Scorched Queen's Kingdom profile about what other dominions its inhabitants could visit. Any ideas?

First draft of the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. Before you ask, I plan to ascend it and the titular pharaoh at the same time. If I somehow missed something lore-wise with these movies please inform me

The Tablet of Ahkmenrah

• Appearance: A 3 x 3 tablet with flippable tiles
• Class Level: 4
• Museum Check: Granted
• Alignment: True Neutral
• Portfolio: Animating Artifact That Can Given Life To Inanimate Objects, Immortality Field, Powered By The Moon God Khonshu, Sliding Scale of Living Toys
• Domains: Magic, Revival, Animating, Egypt, Museum Pieces, Moonlight
• Owner: Ahkmenrah (and by extension, his mother and father)
• Associated with: Larry Daley, the Egyptian deities (sans Apophis)
• Source of interest: Any and all museum workers, the House of Undead and Phasmata, Yugi, Yami Yugi, Seto Kaiba, lunar deities, Linkara
• Kept away from: Lord Voldemort's horcruxes, Maximum Security, SCP-1048, Nagash, The Lich, Dhuum (permanently), the Ice King's crown (for now)
• The Tablet of Ahkmenrah is an Egyptian artifact created by pharaoh Merenkahre after the birth of his son and future pharaoh Ahkmenrah, in hopes not even death could separate the family. Crafted with the finest magic available and blessed by the moon god Khonshu, the Tablet was primarily designed to allow the family's mummies come back to life and it had the secondary purpose of being a key to a doorway to the Egyptian afterlife. However it could do more than that; it had the power to give life to artifacts who resemble life in any way, such as wax sculptures. Even pictures come to life. When moved to the New York Museum of Natural History in the fifties, it caused the exhibits to gain a life of their own. However the Tablet of Ahkmenrah only works during the night at when the tablet is organized in a specific way. And anything animated that's outside when the sun comes up will turn to dust.
• The Tablet of Ahkmenrah is not a full-time exhibit at the Great Treasury, since it's required to be at or near the New York museum (or British museum which is the current main host of the tablet), and is instead on loan. Since most of the artifacts aren't based on some sort of life or intelligence its effects don't affect most of the treasury. However some might be affected in a way that could prove problematic. The SCP Foundation has determined what other artifacts should be kept away from the Tablet, some of which they've declared permanently off limits and others they are waiting on determining if it is safe for an interaction. That said, it's possible that the magic of certain artifacts is similar enough to the tablet's effects that they would be naturally immune. On another note, they ruled that SCP-1048 cannot be allowed to get close to the tablet and use it for their evil schemes. Granted they don't want any SCP close to the tablet without expressed permission, but 1048 is a teddy bear so it has the most interest in it.
  • Since they already have part of his soul, Voldemort's horcruxes are never allowed to be anyway near the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. With his diary in mind, it could potentially give all the pieces of his soul a way to manifest like his Diary self. Voldemort is more interested in the Tablet for its ability to transcend death, but rather than say make something that would be animated by it a horcrux he intends to make the tablet itself a horcrux to put whatever it reanimates under his influence.
  • Nothing in Maximum Security is allowed near the Tablet of Ahkmenrah for fear of the unintended consequences that could happen. Granted, many artifacts there are far more powerful than the tablet and wouldn't be able to be affected, but it's still better safe than sorry. Originally magical artifacts with some level of sentience like Li'l Cal would at best be unchanged, and at worst somehow grow stronger. It's theorized that if put in the presence of the Jumanji board it would become even more immersive, and if put in the presence of the Omnitrix the Omnitrix would gain a boost in its artificial intelligence and gain the ability to speak for itself.
  • For now, the Ice Crown is kept away from the tablet. This is mainly because it's uncertain what would happen due to its Magitek nature and original wish-granting purpose. Some theorize that it could allow the downloaded consciousnesses of the deceased wearers to take control of the crown, some think it could cause it to act in some completely unpredictable way. Given the volatility of the crown's intended purpose and the lives ruined by it, keeping it away from the tablet is considered the right decision.
• In order to have it on loan the Court of the Gods decided it was only right to ask Larry Daley, having had the most experience with it. Seeing an advantage, he argued it was only right if the one the tablet was made for gets to come along with it; Ahkmenrah himself. The latter was shocked learning of so many Egyptian deities already being present in the Trope Pantheon, but with Khonshu, the one who the Tablet gets its power from, absent on his arrival. Anubis judged that if its fate belongs to anyone besides Ahkmenrah and his family it belongs to Khonshu and he promises he won't interfere with it, before giving words of advice; his brother is not the only Nepharious Pharaoh who may want the tablet for himself. Ramses seeks to take it for himself, not just to form an army to get back at the Jews and Moses but to resurrect his first-born son. Larry Daley was quick to point out that "you know Kahmunrah was passed over in the succession right", though Anubis retorted "you don't have to be a smart-ass".
• Set had tried to help Kahmunrah get the Tablet in an ill-fated scheme, and he's not proud of the whole thing. That was one of his weaker forms though, as normally Set can use his own army. This time around he took the tablet for no other reason to sow chaos in seeing it interact with something else with Egyptian ties; Duel Monsters!. While dueling during night Yugi and Seto were distracted by the fact their Hard Light Monsters came to life and were able to leave the field and wander off on their own. The former feared that someone managed to start a Shadow Game without them realizing, but it soon became clear the magic was not dark. Sadly the day broke, causing both the holograms and the cards to turn to dust. Fortunately Osiris recognized this was his brother's work and he recreated the cards, before warning Seto not to consider trying to give his holograms life. The lesson Kaiba took instead was "find some way of overcoming the nighttime restriction".
• Without a gate to Duat the Tablet of Ahkmenrah isn't able to serve its secondary purpose of opening the gateway, and most within the Hall of Afterlife Entities want to keep it that way. Anubis is already annoyed at Kahmunrah's shenanigans, having come back twice and not really learning anything from it. He talked to his uncle (or biological father) Osiris that there are those who'd be far more of a threat with the tablet than Kahmunrah. A pact was made with Osiris, Ereshkigal and Hades to craft a spell that would prevent Nagash and the Lich from ever having access to the tablet out of fear they will invade and plunder the Egyptian afterlife..
• The Tablet of Ahkmenrah is essentially a method of immortality, with the museum pieces coming to life being a welcome side-effect. It's possible that SCP-914 could improve it even further like making stone sculptures flesh and blood during the night and giving the truly resurrected a Healing Factor, but there's been no clearance to test that. It's an object of interest for the Hall of Forms of Immortality, even if the members there have a better for of immortality than it. Qi Shi Huang muses that he could make his terracotta soldiers night warriors, but the fact they would turn to dust if exposed to the sunlight makes it Awesome, but Impractical in his eyes. Dhuum regards the whole tablet as a blasphemous spit in the face of the rules of mortality and the immortal(er?) gods have been making sure to keep him from it.
• Anyone who is originally undead has the potential to be affected by the tablet, however they will still revert to their normal state at sunrise. It's guaranteed to rejuvenate any mummy like Anakaris, given the reason it was created. How effective it is on other undead varies, however it carries no risk of them turning to dust come the sunrise as they already have another force animating them, since Ahkmenrah without the tablet is ultimately just a corpse. Tests have been permitted on the residents of the House of Undead and Phasmata. A general rule of thumb is that if what makes them undead is stronger than the tablet they can refuse to be affected; it is not a way for someone to turn the Lich into another Sweet P. Also, if they are forced into status by a power greater than it, they remain fully undead; you cannot overcome the power the Night King uses to control his wights by using the Tablet of Ahkmenrah.
  • Ghosts: Unable to become living again by virtue of their body being more immaterial. One exception to this was Danny Fenton due to his halfa status, as it instead caused him to be unable to go ghost while affected by the tablet and he would go back to being human in his ghost form. Ghost type Pokemon won't lose their spectral status but the Tablet of Ahkmenrah acts like the Scrappy ability and allows Normal and Fighting-type attacks to hit them when it's active
  • Possessed corpses; the corpse will come alive and their original personality will try to take control of the body from the host. Foo Fighters felt Atroe's consciousness come back. After fighting for a bit they came to an agreement; while she was resurrected F.F would move her consciousness fully to her Stand, and assist her trying to get used to this new semi-life. Fortunately the Stand animating the body lets them bypass the "turn to dust come sunrise" and instead Atroe will simply die again. More powerful possessors could simply shut down their revived host and rendering them prisoners of their own body, so Foo Fighters and Atroe making this kind of arrangement was one of the better-case scenarios.
  • Bone-only undead like Leoric will find their flesh and blood restored to them under the effects of the tablet. This was a bit of a surprise considering Rexy remained a skeleton, however it makes some sense when you remember that fossils aren't actually the bones of the animal but rock in the shape of the animal's corpse. This only applies if they were a normal organic being though; Sans and Papyrus remains skeletons because that's their default and they're not undead.
  • Vampires: Depends on the vampire. Only ones that are technically dead are affected by the tablet, however it doesn't turn off their vampire abilities unless those vampiric traits require being undead
  • Zombies: If someone is that way due to a Viral Transformation they will only briefly become living again before what made them a vampire reasserts itself. How fast depends on how strong that force that zombified them; the Green Flu Special Inflicted will only come back to normal for mere minutes, while the Plants vs. Zombies zombies will come back for about an hour. Otherwise they'll come back to life, such as with Rottytops and the Franchouchou zombies. William Afton felt the tablet restore him to life...until he started feeling a very sharp pain. The Springtrap suit is permanently stuck in an active mode so he felt the agony of being iron maiden'd again, and he's sworn never to get close to the tablet again.
• Normally the Tablet of Ahkmenrah cannot give life during the day, however it was theorized that being near the presence of a God of the Moon would allow it to work no matter what given its power source. Lo and behold, when given to Princess Luna the statues came to life even during the day. Tyrande Whisperwind tried her own Lunacy powers, but it wasn't able to affect the tablet; you need to be a moon deity like Khonshu for the same effect. Selene was curious on what'd happen if you put the tablet on the Moon, and made a mannequin as a test. Given it was on the moon the tablet gained overwhelming power and allowed the mannequin to stay alive anywhere on the moon's surface, even on the exact opposite side of the satellite.
• As a rule, if a non-biological but still animate form of life is in the presence of the tablet during the night, the affect is minimal and they merely return to their original state if changed during the day, instead of turning to dust, due to the fact that they already had some form of life behind them. The Magic Carpet and Robbie approached it in hopes it would at least let them talk, but no dice. There wasn't any effect on the Skylanders either. Some interactions were more fruitful, though always with the reminder that during the day or too far from it the Tablet of Ahkmenrah has no magical powers.
  • The Nestene Consciousness managed to steal the tablet and test it with its creations. Autons that were already close to looking human but fell into the Uncanny Valley they would lose that uncanniness. If they were based on a person or character they'd start to think they were that person/character much like the Lancelot wax statue, until the Nestene Consciousness reasserted control since the Autons are its creations first and it is already pretty powerful. The tablet was recovered in part because the Nestene Consciousness doesn't think it's all that useful for its goals.
  • Cappy is immune the effects of the tablet, but he is able to take control of formerly inanimate objects if they are animated by the tablet. That said, it feels kind of weird for him and he can swear he heard a faint Egyptian hum while taking control of those animated by it. He suggested to Snap White that it might make him animated enough to resist water damage, though understandably he doesn't want to risk it doing nothing for him.
  • Chucky the Killer Doll tried to take the tablet for himself in the night. At first, he was somewhat interested by the fact his doll body started to become human, which was assisted by the voodoo magic that lets his soul inhabit the Chucky doll in the first place. However, he started hearing voices; as it turned out, it also brought the Chucky doll itself to life and started fighting with the persona. He managed to flip the tablet's power off and to date has never tried to get close to it.
  • The Toy Story toys weren't affected physically by the tablet, but mentally instead. Usually nothing short of a life-or-death situation can convince them to talk to humans, but the tablet lets them justify being alive in its presence during the night as a consequence of the magic.
• The Tablet of Ahkmenrah serves as a partial cure for petrification, as much as how Ahkmenrah went from a mummy to getting his flesh and blood back the petrified will go from stone to fully alive. And since that is their natural state they won't drop dead or turn to dust during the day, but they will become petrified again during the day until an actual cure can be found. This was first discovered when Jadis managed to get her hands on the tablet which reanimated those who she turned to stone during the night, and to her horror they were immune to being petrified again in this state. This is applicable to anyone who Medusa turned to stone. Presumably this wouldn't work if the spellcaster is equal or stronger than Khonshu. No-one's taking their chances it and the nighttime will give them any defense against Ghatanothoa given unlike Medusa it appears to be a legitimate god.
• During the night any picture within the Tablet of Ahkmenrah becomes a Portal Picture. It wasn't clear what would happen if someone who's "real" was in the picture when the sun came out until the SCP Foundation sent a D-Class in. When the sun came out while a D-Class was inside, the painting disintegrated. SCP-105 (or as she'd prefer to be known, Iris Thompson) took pictures during the night and found that there was no change to how her pictures worked since the magic was "too similar". Yoshihiro Kira somehow managed to get near the tablet and at first thought his Stand was too similar...until he found he was able to walk out of the picture he inhabited and essentially become a living being again. More morbidly, Dr Alfred Drevis found the animals he taxidermized reanimated. Fortunately (for most people) their first reaction was to attack him.
• Linkara was at first rather suspicious about the Tablet of Ahkmenrah. Long story short, he consistently thinks Ancient Egypt is some big source of evil^note cue the Imperial March. However it was pointed out that the tablet's magic wasn't too different from the sympathetic magic he uses to make his toys be able to do the stuff they can in his reviews and storylines, with some theorizing his magic could've been Ancient Egyptian in origin. Realizing they had a point led to a despondency not seen since Spike Lee was the Kingpin. After some soul-searching he said he's made peace with it and wanting the museum exhibits to live trump whatever bias he has to Ancient Egypt.

I thought the Pantheon was The Unmasqued World, so Andy's toys wouldn't have to pretend to be inanimate. Speaking of which, I've considered reworking them, but it's been a hot while since I've seen any Toy Story movies.

The Pantheon entry on SMG 4 & Glitchy's Mario needs serious work.

Yeah, Sora, Donald, and Goofy probably hand out with them occasionally.

How would the tablet effect robots?

Question for everyone: is Adaptation Expansion available?

That trope is taken by Zygarde.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the info! Although... Zygarde's profile is kinda tiny...

Edited by ForgoLight on Jan 19th 2024 at 2:16:29 AM

It's my profile and to be honest if you want to argue your idea is better and drop it I won't argue

Crimson Shark has Adaptation Expansion reserved for Hanna.

So, it's come to my attention that Necrozma has a profile in Light and Brightness AND is part of the Ultra Beasts' profile in Combat: Other. I think we need to correct this.

Given how Necrozma's inclusion in the Ultra Beast's profile is just in the Partners section, I believe it's fine to just remove it (no need to get approval, just state that Necrozma has a separate profile elsewhere).

Finally. Draft is done and Luffy can weirdly be the same in interacting

Unlike many who sought the One Piece, Luffy does not mind the plentiful detours his Straw Hat crews had even if it was to help out strangers. It just so happens many of those detours ended up upsetting the entire geopolitically landscape. Luffy’s willpower and tenacity have wavered very little in his pursuit of the One Piece, and his strength and infamy reflected that this young upstart became one of the most dangerous pirates in the world. Though it has been a good few two to three years for Luffy since his journey, the Pantheon noted how notoriously long and complicated this rubbery captain’s tale is. If someone had to condense his adventure across the seas, then maybe over a thousand chapters, past a hundred volumes, more than a thousand episodes, more than ten movies, and a potentially lengthy live-action show would do.
  Luffy: Did we find the One Piece yet?
  Brook: We did! Look! I have it right here!
  Usopp: … That’s a swimsuit-
  Luffy: So that’s Gold Roger’s treasure? It must be some majestic clothes if he hid it for so long.
  Usopp: Sometimes, I wonder if Luffy’s brain neurons aren’t traveling at all due to the rubber.
• Since his Gum-Gum powers derive from a Devil Fruit, Luffy is instantly sedated by water like all Devil Fruit users are. Granted, the benefits from his Devil Fruit are so incredible that the water weakness sounds like a footnote. Not only can he resist incredibly strong blunt force and be intact, but the speed at which he can deal blows with his elongated limbs is incredible. That is not even to mention his Gear system where he strains to life-threatening levels to have his body either get faster, get stronger, or both to completely decimate his foe. Furthermore, Luffy would boost his strength by learning all three forms of Haki and their advanced forms. His Observation Haki lets give him precognitive instinct sight. Armament Haki armors his body and breaks through the impenetrably. Conqueror’s Haki imposes his willpower onto others and signifies his capabilities to stand above all others. Luffy’s skillset may not be flashiest though Luffy is quick on his feet. He could find a way to demolish most foes in his way.
  • It would be a crime not to mention Gear 5 which Luffy achieved in his climatic battle against Kaido. The result is Luffy being borderline invincible with the Toon Physics that affects not only himself but the world around him. A person could hit him as hard as they could and while Luffy feels the pain, his flattened face looks goofy. He could apply the cartoonish properties to everything around him too, leading to impossible things like him bouncing out of stomachs or turning lightning into solid trampolines. The greatest weakness of obviously water and how Luffy cannot maintain Gear 5 forever. The World Government feared Luffy would achieve such power, viewing him as the Warrior of Liberation they fear will awake. Luckily, they concealed their fears so barely anybody in the Pantheon knows the truth about his Devil Fruit and the joy it brought.
• If there is one thing Luffy values more than adventure or food, it is his friends. Whether that be those he considered his family, his crew, or even somebody nice to him, he will fight for them to the bitter end. In turn, people acknowledge that Monkey D. Luffy may be a kid in over his head, but they also know that he has a good chance to be the Pirate King after Gold Roger. Even in the Pantheon, it is noted that even amongst the other Color of the Supreme King users Luffy has an attractive quality that draws people to him. His crew would attest that if it were not for that, Luffy’s faith in them cemented their loyalty. This foolish goodness had infamous pirates Trafalgar Law irked, Boa Hancock swooning, and Whitebeard impressed. It should also be noted that after the Straw Hats saved so many pirates at Dressrosa, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet was formed out of gratefulness towards him. Not that he wanted them, so the captains of his fleet bullied him to accept that they represented him. This spread of influence across the Grand Line had Luffy labeled as the Fifth Emperor of the Sea after causing chaos on Whole Cake Island. Then he was outright considered one of the Four Emperors later on after freeing Wano, which makes his starting on a crappy raft sailing from his village more impressive.
  Luffy: We haven’t sailed for very long, but I know we’ve got each other’s backs.
• His family is a strange one as many of them are not related to Luffy by blood. Luffy did not even know his dad existed, which underlined Dragon’s presence in his life (and Luffy’s lack of sex education). Monkey D. Garp was his only direct blood relative… who had him raised by a bandit and whenever Garp showed up, he put Luffy and his brothers through hell to train them as future Marines (that never happened). Speaking of his brothers, Portgas D. Ace and Sabo would have shared their lives with Luffy if they were not all split apart. Luffy, Ace, and Sabo know each other inside, being closer than many non-adopted siblings out there. It should be noted they all share the same fear of Garp, knowing his loving punches will hurt.
• Shanks recognized Luffy was like his former captain with how the young boy repeats what Roger says without having ever met him and also how Luffy desires to be the freest man across the seas. He gave Luffy that straw hat he’s infamous for that very reason, and will only meet Luffy again once he becomes a great pirate. Every say Luffy already has reached that status though the Emperors all know they should aim for higher. Although those who knew the era of the Rocks Pirates would believe Luffy also resembles the forgotten Rocks D. Xebec when it comes to crew dynamics. Rocks was impulsive, inane, and ambitious. The familiarity with both men is uncanny, and World Government propaganda ensures Luffy will get that horrid reputation as well.
  Robin: It says in this paper that Monkey D. Luffy poisoned their water supply, burned their crops, and delivered a plague unto their houses. I wish the papers said I did things this nice.
  Jinbei: What horrible lies they tell about our captain! Of course, he won’t do anything like this.
  Zoro: Eh, only the water supply part is true.
• Marshall D. Teach is perhaps Luffy’s greatest foe even though the two have not directly interacted much. He may be natural enemies with Eneru and Donquixote Doflamingo. Akainu may have killed a member of his family. Charlotte Linlin and Kaido may have been his greatest obstacles in being considered one of the greatest pirates. However, Teach is also a natural enemy of Luffy in power, actions, and even personality. While Luffy is a bright sun, Teach is a dark abyss. While Luffy will do anything for his friends, Teach will throw any ally under the bus. While Luffy hates a certain cherry pie, Teach gulps it down hungrily. The two will clash at their fullest capabilities one day, something the Pantheon dreads considering how unfathomably powerful the two became.
• When it came to his fellow JUMP stars, Luffy is considered a paragon since his stories are the most popular in all of manga history at the moment, surpassing contenders like Golgo 13, Case Closed, and Naruto. The Straw Hat Pirates print more money than they ever will get to see (Nami is willing to take Toei Company to court for this). This makes Luffy see many JUMP family members come and go over the years, which makes the Pantheon special since he can reconnect to those who have been out of the spotlight. After all, Luffy is not the kind of person to forget his friends years later. However, there are some specific friends whom Luffy is closer to, and some he would rather avoid.
  Luffy: I can’t beat Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo! He’s too powerful!
  Sanji: Luffy, you already took down an Emperor! It isn’t like you to not fight someone.
  Luffy: You don’t understand! He has an afro!
  Sanji: Ya serious mah cap’n? Y’dead for real, brotha!
  • Goku has frequently met up with Luffy alongside his friends and family like Krillin. The two are like brothers in how they eat, how they love to fight, and how they love the people around them. Luffy is also pure of heart like Goku, being able to ride the Flying Nimbus. Goku and Luffy have their combination attack called the Kamehame Gomu Gomu no Bazooha that nobody wants to be at the receiving end of. The two were even present to protect the Fuji TV building twice, with Eneru trouncing a Super Saiyan Goku shockingly well in a later assault. If Eneru somehow nuked the Fuji TV building… well, nothing of value would be lost for the heroes to be honest.
  • When people saw Toriko team up with Luffy, people could only ask who the hell Toriko is and what is he doing with the future Pirate King. Although Luffy could get along really with even his enemies, Toriko stands out by appealing to Luffy’s love for food. However what makes Toriko different from what Sanji could provide is that Toriko searches for the most exotic foods out there, even if he has to wrestle apocalyptic beasts to do so. Toriko commands such admiration with his culinary skills that Luffy uses manners when eating his and Komatsu’s meals. Maybe some deity above paired these two fated warriors together.
  • Naruto and Luffy have a close if competitive relationship. The two have similar aspirations of reaching a title and their kindness has brought them many allies together. Also, Luffy is pretty sure he thought Sanji’s real name was Naruto. Though to prove which one of them is the better person at… anything, Luffy and Naruto go all out when it comes to kicking each other’s butts. One fight that lasted a minute had Luffy the winner though that is not an indicator if Luffy can overcome Naruto most of the time. Granted, there is something Luffy has over Naruto that the Hokage does not have. Luffy has had a clear consistent progression in gaining power while Naruto has been inconsistent, especially as an adult. Both could become more monstrous in power, but Luffy does not have things like responsibilities or children weighing him.
• When the Jump Worlds were being threatened to be fused, Cosmos commissioned the creation of Jump Force to get to the bottom of this mess. Not that their teaming up was unprecedented, though being forced into an organization was something not all of them were comfortable with. Especially Luffy who oddly did not smile at throughout being the leader of Team Beta (members: Sanji, Boa Hancock, Boruto Uzumaki, Kenshiro, Vegeta, Ryo Saeba, Kenshin Himura, Kurapika, and Deku). At least the person who apparently could help against this crisis, Director Glover, can help them. Luffy is sure this man was not the evil mastermind behind this whole ordeal, a strange case of his good character reading being off at this case. Luffy was going to induct all members of Team Beta into his crew, though they respectfully declined since they did not want to be dragged into Luffy’s insanity. Except Boa who got dragged back to Amazon Lily before she can abandon her people for the D.
• People will believe Luffy will go to space one day. Not because a certain God is up there, but because Luffy might tell his crew to head up there. In a weird return to the White Sea, the Straw Hats ran to Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger who thought they were some run-of-the-mill pirates in the way of scouring the Sky Islands for treasure. Soon enough, the two pirate crews started fighting each other and even with the Sentai powers at their disposal, the Straw Hat pirates were ruthless in their assault on their ship. The Straw Hats thought they were agents of Germa 66 in turn, though they only stopped when Luffy noticed they had a cool robot bird with them. Clearing up the misunderstanding, the two crews acclimated well to each other even though Luffy and Captain Marvelous looked like they wanted to strangle one another. A fight nearly broke out again when the Gokaiger tried making the Straw Hats pay for damages, which Luffy almost said yes to (resulting in his crew beating the crap out of him).
• Luffy does not intentionally kill people to prove his point. He likes crushing their dreams instead of making them live their lives unfulfilled, knowing that his passion outshone all of theirs. It sounds cruel on the Straw Hat's part though he admires people who go after dreams especially if they have to grow to achieve them. If the path seems too easy, then they are probably on the wrong path. Luffy applies it to several figures he detests. Ozai's dream of Fire Nation supremacy? Loser lord. Frieza and immortality? Blasted (came back though). Acnologia want to destroy everyone? Dragon slayed. Kang wanting to conquer? Ants. Luffy says if they have dreams that make them trample on people, then they all ought to back up said dreams with determination. The fat pharaoh back at Impel Down was more determined to win than they were at their defeats.
  Luffy: I just punch things until everything goes right. What are your excuses?
  Clips of Ozai having his bending taken away, Frieza being cut in half, Acnologia being paralyzed by an entire continent's population, Kang being kicked out by his counterparts are played.
• If something catches Luffy's interest, he will go after it with no hesitation. He would probably jump into lava if there was something shiny there. When going to a certain family restaurant, Luffy saw those cool animatronics perform and he wanted one. Rightfully believing that they were alive, Luffy went at night at night with the hopes of getting these new creatures. With a net as if they were zombified trees. The Freddy Fazbear's mascots were trapped in the security room for the night, staving off a maniac who paused when the security camera stared at them because he thought it was Red Light, Green Light. Luffy sometimes goes back to the pizzeria at night now and again, and so do animatronics who have to hide behind cameras again to save themselves from a maniac.
• Those who use lighting as their main source of offense like Gigavolt Man-O-War and Kracko found themselves in a very punitive position of fighting against a pirate made of rubber. It was as if fate was mocking them when they came across Luffy and tried shocking him, only to be met with a fist to their face. It is strange as the voltage output they are capable of should damage even rubber though Luffy can withstand it all before ducking their faces with a Haki-infused punch. They wonder if perhaps they should have been born to be more watery to deal with this issue, something that they are unaware would give them good legs against Luffy.
• To reflect how he is a simplistic dude, Luffy picks the most standard character in a video game. That is why Luffy picks Mario when playing Super Smash Bros. as he is saving his brain cells for actual fights. There is also the commonality that the two are adventurers with relatively simplistic abilities though packing gigantic depth with their capabilities. Luffy may have dressed as Mario alongside his other Straw Hats being Mario-related individuals. Luffy thinks Mario’s power must come from being a plumber, so he tries his hand at the job. Luffy almost sank his ship and crew, then got rightfully beaten up by the latter.
• Luffy thinks that the sailors Popeye and Bluto are Marine members. Not that he is far off as they are lawful boatmen who have fought off pirates beforehand. What irks Luffy about these two is that they carry a sense of extreme pride that clashes with his pride as a pirate. Also, Straw Hat is an iconic meat lover. He will likely eat Chopper if it comes down to it. He might eat anything, but how could spinach empower a person? When Luffy ate the spinach, he had to eat his own words upon seeing that he was cracking the earth as if Whitebeard stepped on it.
• When hearing there was a sponge underwater that cooked burgers, Luffy nearly dove into the sea to get that experience. Fortunately, his crew had those diving suits ready for him and Luffy was able to get to the Krusty Krab. He thought Bikini Bottom was a weird offshoot of Fishman Island the entire time. Did you think Luffy went through the front to get into the fast food establishment? When he crashed into the roof, Krabs forced Luffy to work repairing it. Luffy formed a strong bond with Spongebob, basically trying to goad the chef into joining his crew but Spongebob declined since being at minimum wage is what he wants his life to amount to. It was when Krabs came in, learning Luffy was looking for the legendary One Piece when Krabs dressed up as a pirate, willing to forfeit his restaurant and navyman integrity for riches beyond his wildest dreams. Luffy just dipped after eating all the Krabby Patties, leaving Krabs chasing Luffy down to join the Straw Hats.
• As a result of Luffy’s antics, the entire Pantheon was forced to adapt to his presence. Not to say that Luffy is the center of the Pantheon, though he finds himself in so many bad situations in the place that people started manifesting Haki just by observing Luffy. Many telekinetic, precognitive, and psychic abilities could already be seen as Observation Haki. Piercing physical strength could considered Armament Haki as is. The Conqueror’s Haki belongs to charismatic people with strong presences. Instead of relaxing on these labels, some decided to match Luffy by learning Haki themselves. Sometimes, they take a page from Luffy’s book by manifesting Haki as they are dueling with him. One notorious case was when Luffy crashed into Melkor’s celebration, beat up some dragons, demons, and orcs, and then challenged Melkor directly since the God of Evil served cherry pie. Melkor much to the horror of everybody, awoke all three forms of Haki in this one single fight.
  Luffy: Looks like you have Conqueror’s Haki too? Just like that Cosmos lady, Sora, and the spiky-haired eye weirdo. Gotta hand it to you… uh… Melvin?
  Melkor: My domain will be last place you will see, you disrespectful ant.
  Monkey D. Luffy escaped from Melvin’s an hour later.
• For as dense as Luffy is, he is an excellent judge of character. He was able to discern Robin was not as villainous as she displayed when they first met. He even managed to discern something was wrong with Blackbeard with Zoro even though neither side knew their true identities up to that point. His character deduction was not flawless, as Luffy was not able to realize Pudding's manipulations right away until she told him, though that could be chalked up to how good a liar Pudding was or Luffy being too busy eating houses to notice. What Luffy was dead on though was analyzing Eren Yeager, perfectly being cautious around the young man when they first met. Eren is by all accounts, an unassuming individual on the surface which makes his more... proactive actions all the more surprising. Luffy just stared at Eren, emitting Haki all around, and simply said, "I know what you are." That freaked out his crew and everybody else around him, though Eren himself just simply scoffed at the Will of D bearer.
• Seeing how Luffy is called the Warrior of Liberation for freeing so many societies from corrupt tyrants, he tends to jump right in to overthrow an entire society without thought through overthrowing their leader. One such case was with Oliver Twist where Luffy was enraged that a kind friend of his lived in a place where he could not eat all he wanted. So Luffy went to confront whom Oliver pointed to his country’s monarch, Queen Elizabeth. Luffy would have gone after Queen Victoria, so he would have to settle for the next best thing. The pirate thought that he would face a strong fighter but was surprised when with one Gum-Gum Pistol, the queen went in one harsh strike that made him feel guilty for giving. Oliver Twist got the food he wanted, though Luffy may have instilled a hatred against pirates in the English royal bloodline forever. Hopefully, the Queen Victoria he wanted to face will not hate pirates to a genocidal degree.
• Eiki Shiki is frustrated with Luffy. It is not her place to enforce what the World Government finds unlawful, though she sees the Straw Hats as the pinnacles of causing a mess. Some big conflict blows up whenever they are around and that is a security, no matter how justified. She tried to have Luffy promise to not cause a mess for the Pantheon, as she thinks he will one day challenge those above even her authority. Not that this worked, much to her frustration.
  Luffy: I wanna be free? What’s wrong with that?
  Eiki Shiki: Luffy, there is being free, then there is not taking a shower. Take a bath!
• There have been those like Junko Enoshima and Johan Liebert who tried to bring despair to Luffy with words. The amount of people who tried to pull this on Luffy is concerning, as it gives credence to the old thinking the younger generations are dumbasses were right. Luffy is emotionally destroyed by something that happened with Ace, and he deals with that. If someone wants to get across something to Luffy, they better show hands. The two Js getting a rubbery fist to their faces and their complete shock at the impact made the universe feel cathartic.
• When Dokuro tried beating Luffy up when seeing his “family jewels” (Luffy ran around without pants after Usopp took them). She was horrified when she saw her blunt weapon not doing jack-diddle to Luffy, making him an invincible pervert. Truly an unexpected blemish to God’s sandbox. Luffy’s crew wondered why a big-breasted young lady kept following them around and smacked their captain’s butt with a club repeatedly.
• Knowing Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates, Haruko Haruhara wants to challenge Luffy who wants that title for himself. Seeing as Atomsk was an Eldritch Abomination more than a traditional pirate, she wanted to see if Luffy was willing to cast even his mortal coil to see it. She does not have any deeper meaning besides it being an interesting development. Her insistency goes as far as to roleplay as a pirate herself to make this happen. This usually begins by crashing her bike into their boat. The amount of times she has been thrown out can be compared to how many times Luffy's crew beats him silly.
• There is an incident where Luffy is trapped in the Helheim Forest and as usual, he decides to go eat the Helheim fruits there. Turning to an Ives seemed like it would be Luffy's fate but he did not succumb. He just kept eating more and more until his crew got him back. Not even Kouta Kazuraba who is the ruler of the Ives does not know why this is the case. The only theory he has is that there must be "the devil" in Luffy's veins, nullifying the effects of the Ives. Kouta Kazuraba even popped up in front of Luffy, giving his crew a pile of Helheim fruit and telling their effects, only to be startled when he saw Luffy eat them all again. Making their reindeer and archaeologists eat Heheim fruits confirmed that it is a shared eccentricity of all Devil Fruit users. If there is a mystery the man of the Beginning does not have an answer for, the mysteries of the Devil Fruits are something he must investigate himself.
  Luffy: You can the guy who makes food in our crew!
  Sanji: I'm already the chef!
• At some point in the long ago past, the Devil Fruit user and Kuuga helped each other out. Not Monkey D. Luffy and Yusuke Godai, but the original Joy Boy and Kuuga. They were good friends to each other, fighting off Grongi and the high seas. The circumstances that led to their friendship are unknown, though one could guess they bonded over fighting off enemy after enemy and got drawn to each other's natural charisma. This extended to the inheritors of their will and when Luffy and Godai did meet, they got along super fast. They call each other brothers already, much to everybody's confusion.
• Darkseid recognizes Luffy as the "Warrior of Liberation" and seeks to snuff him out. Not just by killing Luffy but by making everyone fall away from the hope and freedom he brings. His not using the Anti-Life Equation is due to Darkseid knowing it will not work on Luffy as he has seen before. Many years ago, he fought against Joy Boy in battle through one of his incarnations. Using the Anti-Life Equation, Darkseid enslaved everybody on the battlefield to his will. All except for Joy Boy who promptly snapped everybody out of it by decking Darkseid in the face. He was forced to retreat then and questions of why it did not work plagued the New God's mind. It is not as if there were none he ever encountered who did resist it, though Joy Boy took him by surprise with no struggle. Darkseid believes that the Warrior of Liberation being the personification of freedom ensured that it gave him high resistance to the Anti-Life Equation if not outright immunity. Now that Joy Boy is gone and Monkey D. Luffy has taken his place, Darkseid awaits when he will do battle again so that he may show existence that his tyranny triumphs over all.
  Luffy: Darkseid? He has to get through me if he wants to become King of the Pirates first!
  Nami: I'm going to die young, aren't I?
• Euron Greyjoy goes extreme even for what is a pirate. The amount of rape and killing puts many pirates to shame, which makes coming across Straw Hat to be an irksome experience for him as his pepper attitude goes against the narcissism he holds. When demanding that no Ironborn would be like Luffy, the Straw Hat replied he's a different kind of pirate. Luffy believes that being a pirate is not about raiding villages, it is about adventure. Euron Greyjoy first picked his ear if he heard that come from somebody's mouth out of disbelief before drawing his sword. Luffy simply tossed Greyjoy overboard in response. Greyjoy would thank his religion that all of the witnesses were mutes so they may not speak of his humilation.
• Steven Universe and Luffy became fast friends, as Steven thinks Luffy is a cool fighter like the Crystal Gems. Not that this is far off as Luffy is a proclaimed enemy of a totalitarian government. Luffy and Steven could be called opposites in their ways. A rubbery confidant hero against a compact anxious hero. Except Luffy likely has a few legs up since he can get hard whenever he goes. Luffy wanted to ask if he could punch a defensive Steven as hard as he could to see how far he could go. Steven obliged and the result? Nobody knows if his shield shattered against Luffy's devastating punch though it caused a tsunami warning by the impact alone. Luffy also was lucky that he flew into a rock and then flew to the watery abyss.
• Considering that he is like a "monkey", it was inevitable, that Luffy would see himself facing the greater ape, a gorilla. That took the form of Donkey Kong, who was enraged seeing Luffy chow down on his pile of bananas. The two fought for two days and two nights, before realizing the Kremlings stored the bananas as they fought. Their adventure together formed a strong bond, resulting in Donkey Kong and Luffy sharing a pile equally. That would be a heartwarming ending, though seeing the two be fat monstrosities that roll back to their loved ones was a sight to behold. The Straw Hats had to use Luffy as a cannonball when the World Government came after them.
• Night Raid does not have a high opinion when Luffy is as it is similar to their own. The "heroic" government protects the depraved elite class, employing the bloodthirsty murderers to their ranks and the other factions are superpowered bandits. Seeing as Night Raid is friends with Monkey D. Dragon, they were initially disappointed seeing Luffy was part of the latter powers but changed their tune when they saw him challenge the World Government and rival pirates alike. They believe Luffy will flourish in active rebellion though have to just observe him walk into fighting who they want rather than forcing him to fight. Luffy does not seek fights, though there is little indication he will stop when he does, which they are banking on.
• One of the few to catch Luffy's eye when it came to recruitment for the Straw Hats was Finn Mertins who wanted to find that "romance dawn" to new places. However, when Luffy said it meant leaving his loved ones behind, he had to refuse the offer since abandoning the people he cared about was not on his agenda. He has a girlfriend, a pretty cool dog family, and a drinking buddy to care for. Luffy understands, though had to answer Finn on how he could just leave everything he's loved behind him. Luffy being as confident as ever, simply said that if he can't go for his dreams, then it wasn't an ambition worth much either way. Plus, he finds new things to love on the way. Not that he disrespects all desires of people keeping to their roots. Then he remembered he was missing one Straw Hat.
  Luffy: I miss her!
  Finn: Why are you between the railings?

TO BE CONTINUED

Helen Parr also has rubber-body abilities.
