follow me into the rain

I've drawn some genderswap pics of Luffy, Sabo, and Ace (or "Ann") as kids. Posting them here behind the cut. Suggestions for improvement and other feedback much appreciated!

As you will see, several of the pics are blatantly based on canon art.

I have for the sake of ease assumed that the characters will have much the same life stories as in canon, which might well not be true. For instance, would Garp and/or Dadan have been softer on little girls than on boys? Might Roger's shadow have weighed ever-so-slightly lighter on Ann?

( Pics galore! )

Without having intended to I found myself re-reading the first few pages of One Piece, chapter 584 - and damnit, I had forgotten how much page 4 makes my heart ache. for the nth time, damn you Oda.

Which reminds me that I wanted to babble again a little bit about the chapters 583-589, although I daresay I'll likely repeat myself a lot.

Not much this time, just a little ( under the cut. )

A very happy birthday to tonko_ni!
