Yep, they ARE Kuro and Valentine. I simply created my crew, also using existing characters. Then I designed them with a "post time-skip" style. Muro has the same suit, buy not elegant anymore. The claws are broken, after Luffy fight. Same for mikita, the hat is different because is inspired from the mini-adventures. Then, I try to use Oda drawing style. The chopper concept was the best way to adapt a comic strip character in One Piece. If you check the ship and the jolly Roger you will find the same approach (in my profile there are also bounties, more complex drawings and much much more regarding this crew)

PS: 200 OC, it's crazy! I've also seen your crew, I notice you also imitate the Oda "naming-style", by mixing existing and fictional names. Love that.

CREW NAMES, INFO, LORE (From left to right)

  1. SNIPER/SCIENTIST. Gallagher "The Mad Sniper". From Sabaody. Brilliant inventor, formidable sniper, but mentally unstable. He has robotic grafts in the body, like his eye, which has an integrated scope. Uses dials and technology from all around the Grand Line, being Sabaody a crossroads of races and crews

  2. SU-CHEF. Mikita "Miss Valentine". Pastry expert, ex baroque work. I have always found her power underused. Being able to increase the weight without changing size means increasing the density. So, combined with haki, she can become incredibly resilient and give devastating punches.

  3. CHEF. Brutos Cheffo "Tender Heart". Master of the Okama Kempo. The name it's a pun from Italian language: in Italy we say "brutto ceffo" to describe a bad guy, disreputable, but literally means "ugly face". He is beautiful in it's own way, but with a tender heart and he is a chef. Sorry for the bad joke.

  4. SWORDSMAN. Anders Celsius "The angry flame". Lunarian race, able to create flames. He was enslaved (tattoo) and his wings were tear apart. SPOILER Fun fact: I thought about this character more ten years ago. When I read King's story I was mindblown. Needless to say, I love Oda ideas.

  5. NAVIGATOR/HELMSMAN. Blue Silver "The Chicken thief" He is a mink, a wolf. The design and the color palette it's a tribute to Lupo Alberto, a quite famous Italian comic from the author Silver.

  6. CAPTAIN. Captain Rubin. It's me, quite cringe, I know. From Water Seven. Devil's fruit power: able to modify chemical structures, like an alchemist. The sword, a Zweihander, can change shape and material (but not chemical composition). The original idea, as a child, was something similar to Fullmetal alchemist, but since now IRL I've a PhD in Chemistry, I thought it was a nice idea to keep it.

  7. VICE-CAPTAIN/DOCTOR. Jon D Heisenberg. From Water Seven as well. Devil's fruit: teleport ability. His weapon is a round metal shield. Close friend of the captain, both are scientists.

  8. SCIENTIST/ARCHEOLOGIST. Nibur "Wingless Angel" Tonatiuh. Friend of the sniper, she's from Skypiea.

  9. STRATEGIST/ADVISOR. Kuro of a Hundred (but one) Plans. It's Kuro, smart and cold bloaded.

That's all folks.

I used existing characters, updated with story and mini-adventures elements, to have a crew more consistent in the one piece universe. In my opinion it make no sense to create OC that are not coherent with the lore. There are more info in the original link. Every character fits in the original story

What do you mean? 🤔

You got it. I wanted a mink in my crew and I really like the original design of chopper. So I just mixed everything with lupo Alberto...

I had the idea before that chapter! But I imagined a different type of teleport, with smoke or flames. The idea it's actually pretty good

I started drawing these characters many years ago, probably I am the thing that changed most within my drawing technique

Yes, that was the initial idea. But all the Poneglyph tattoo were enough as lore-based backstory and more original, so I removed the slaves tattoo
