ahaha. I only use the japanese for when the translation doesn't feel like the character's voice. Like using genin and chuurin and sensai for Naruto character. And Robin calling people mister instead of san and things feels weird. And Sanji's voice sounds funny to my mental ears if he calls Nami baby instead of swan.

Well since it is Usopp I like to think he would have stopped if Smoker really wanted him to. Usopp probably kept thinking Smoker was sending 'please be seducing me' singals instead of 'I don't like this' signals

The Brook theory is AWESOME and I totally want to use it now! [loves on theory]

The Usopp pirate were so projecting their own crushes. [nods] (Also them all secretly having giant hero worship crushing on Usopp is *adorable*. Not sure which is better though, Usopp not noticing, or him noticing and handling it with care.)

Merry the human and Iceburg is glorious crack. I can't mental visualise it but it sounds so AWESOME.

To me it's kinda the other way around - it feels weirder to have them suddenly speak Japanese words and word endings because then my mind does a brief blip and I can't help but silently protest "BUT THEY'RE NOT JAPANESE" practically every single time. ^_^ I seem to be very much in the minority, though.

But I might well feel otherwise if I'd come to One Piece primarily through watching subs or through reading scanlations that keep the honorifics, instead of through the Swedish manga translations, in which the honorifics get dropped or translated (as I think they should).

Maybe Sanji should call Nami "Mademoiselle Nami". Just kidding! ;D

That sounds good. Let's go with that. ;)

Speaking of that pairing... now I have this image of Usopp, quite a few Smoker-encounters later, greeting the Marine with a happy smile and saying, "Hiya, Smoke-guy! Look, I bought you a new collar!" (Not smug in the least, just a very happy I'm-bringing-you-a-present mood.) :O :O
I still blame you. ;p *irresponsible*

Oh yeah, that does sound adorable. But it was Kaya they seemed protective of, don't forget. Maybe a bit of a double crush? (Onion goes for one, Pepper for another, Carrot for both! ;))
Usopp would probably figure the best way of handling it is to not notice it, I'm thinking.

Merry the human and Iceburg is glorious crack. I can't mental visualise it but it sounds so AWESOME.

I can see them sitting on some balcony sipping tea together, discussing trends and traditions in shipbuilding. ...All right, I can't see anything more than that, so maybe they'd just become buddies. But that counts for a lot in OP-verse! (Ponders if Merry might do fine as Iceburg's secretary, but somehow that doesn't quite seem right...)

That makes lots of sense. The first thing you encounter is probably gonna be the version that sticks.

I GLADLY take responsiblity of inspiring you to such gloriously snuggly worthy mental images of hilarious crack. Write iiiiit

Is there anyone else on the island for them to even crush on? Outside each other's parents.

[nods] I can see that.

slhjfdlj Kaya and Paulie get married, Merry gives the bride away (Usopp is the maid of honor because that is HILARIOUS) and iceberg is the best man. And then later Merry and Iceburg get together for tea, ship talking and bonding over their ward type people getting married to each other. And then they have very sweet vanilla sex.

And so you should! (nods importantly) XD
...Man, I have to wonder what kind of understanding I have of Smoker's character, really... I can't write it, that image is all I've got

Well, there are a FEW other people, but they all probably seem too much like their parents. Same old same old. Unless there's a cool school-teacher around, maybe.

Oh man. You know, that's so adorable it could never get written. ^_^ "Where's the bleeding conflict?!" I hear readers scream with outrage at their computer screens. But I liiiike it, though. <3

Not even what everyone's reactions are? oh hell, how everyone else reacts if/when they found out Usopp has been bonking Smoker alot. Over protective Yasopp for the giggle!

It is a fluff piece. The whole point is to be snuggly and sweet.

Hmm, no idea about Yasopp's reactions.

I imagine the crew would be pretty damn incredulous at first. Once they understand that the relationship is real (assuming they do ;p), I figure some of them might be impressed while others might wonder about Usopp's taste. But at least some of them would probably go "hey hey hey, what's with all this 'sleeping with the enemy' business?". At which point Usopp would probably sulk and grumble, "everyone else gets to have clandestine forbidden love affairs, so why can't I", and Sanji would ask "whaddaya mean, everybody else?"

If it's cracky enough, Luffy will be in the mood he shows in thermopylae_h's awesome To Walk The Plank (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2897068/2/Parodies_of_the_One_Piece_Kind), and will either suddenly decide to be a moralist and order Usopp to Stop Doing Kinky Stuff With Far-Too-Old Marines, Or Else - or he'll decide everyone in the crew will need to have clandestine forbidden love affairs at the end of the week or walk the plank, so start moving, Sanji. ;p

Oh good, so there's justification. ^_^

[scribe-protra.livejournal.com]

I terribly want Yasopp and Usopp to met in canon so we'll know how they interact together.

Luffy insisting everyone needs to have a clandestine forbidden love affair sounds like an awesome cracky start to a fic.

[serrende.livejournal.com]

Agreed on both points! ^_^

(In that hypothetical crack fic, I see Chopper carrying out a clandestine forbidden correspondence of love letters with, hm, let's say Alvida... Oda's said he's not attracted to humans physically, but he can fall in love with somebody's soul, and that counts! ;D)
