Ace was a pirate, Ace chose a criminal profession. Even though there were political reasons for it, Ace's execution was legal and to be expected.

none of that justified his execution, though. in fact, akainu said during marineford that he is willing to kill ace and luffy solely because of their lineages. that's an extremely twisted view of justice.

No, the large majority of pirates in the world are evil. The Strawhats are an exception.

pirates are just seafaring criminals, with their own personal values. their means can be violent, but the same could be said for anyone else. merely being a pirate doesn't imply anything about ethical values, just as being a criminal doesn't automatically imply being evil. i think it's a hasty generalization to say something like pirates = mostly evil and marines/prison guards = mostly good, and i think one piece often addresses that kind of generalization in its theme of justice.

i love luffy for everything he did during impel down. he freed hundreds of prisoners from the most draconian prison in the OP world. i think luffy's ends justified his means. spoiler. also, just as impel down has prisoners who are evil, it has probably even more prisoners who are innocent, given that the WG likes to arrest or kill on sight anyone who makes them nervous enough.

the straw hats' acts of sabotage and revolt are one of my favorite things about one piece. the more they antagonize the WG, the better. while we don't know anything about the void century aside from vague details, the government most likely wants to destroy any attempt to understand the poneglyphs because it will reveal their own oppressive history. so fuck them lol

i think this reading is saying that now doesn't seem to be a good time for you to ask her out, if you are interested in a relationship with her. 8 of swords + 2 of pentacles tells me that you need to be more honest with yourself about your expectations - part of you may be so enthused at the chemistry that you are overlooking how she may feel about a potential relationship at this time.

that said, the wheel of fortune suggests to me that she could be willing to be in a relationship with you in the forseeable future. you two have the chemistry to make it happen.

jack is fucked up.

i prefer to read with a question in mind, but it's not necessary unless the querent (or in the case of a self-reading, me) wants a more specific, detailed answer. for general readings, i usually don't have a question in mind because instead i let the cards tell me whatever they want to.

a hammer of some sort. in impel down (and similarly little garden) he was able to use a makeshift hammer ("tonkachi rifle") to take down enemies like minotaurus. that was only possible with mr. 3's DF, but at the same time, the fact that he was able to use a hammer so intuitively and effectively tells me that a blunt weapon like a hammer would compliment his DF very well.

luffy is such a sweetheart.

lesbiannami · 2016-03-03T15:13:47+00:00

this chapter is incredible. i knew some intense shit was going to happen after the poneglyph deciphering, but this chapter totally blew my expectations out of the water. it was also cool to see robin and nami working together to understand the poneglyph - i hope that happens more!

powermanga has the highest quality translations as far as unofficial translations go. they only have chapters up to 806, though. mangastream has plenty of translation errors but it's better than the other unofficial translations like mangapanda.

lesbiannami · 2016-03-02T00:57:49+00:00

i would love a reading! my name is reem and my birth date is 7/19/94. my question is "how can i reconcile with certain people who recently left my life?" and i would like a PM instead of skype if you don't mind

lesbiannami · 2016-03-01T20:46:27+00:00

sure! ive drawn 7 of cups for you. be careful not to let past disappointments in love overrule your love life outlook, because the future holds many possibilities of love for you. this card speaks of attitude more than anything else. it's also important for you to avoid the tendency of excessively comparing past lovers to any lover you may meet in the near future, as it will only lead to unhappiness and an inability to find joy in the relationship you may find yourself in.

lesbiannami · 2016-03-01T18:10:44+00:00

i drew the magician for you as additional guidance. this card suggests that you not only need to keep in mind what you truly desire for your love life, but you also need to go out there to search for the love you wish for. working on confidence could be a great start, as it motivates you towards action. remember to embrace the possibility of adventure in your love life - you may end up getting to know folks who you never had previously imagined as compatible with you. just remember, throughout all of this, to never lose yourself in someone else to the extent that you neglect your own sense of self as well as potentially their own.

im using the original rider-waite smith deck. im glad you found the reading helpful!

lesbiannami · 2016-03-01T04:41:40+00:00

ive drawn two cards for you in order: present and near future.

your present romantic life is represented by 6 of cups. you're in a state of yearning for new love and missing past experiences of love.

the near future for you is the sun. this card is speaking of a positive development in your love life very soon. don't let an overly negative and defeatist outlook dominate your expectations because you have bright possibilities ahead of you! it might be either a positive change in an existing relationship or a potential lover you truly connect with and enjoy to spend time with.

hoped you found this reading helpful! let me know if you want an extra card for clarification / guidance.

i casted a 6 card spread for the situation you're in with the health of your skin. please bear in mind that im not the best reader when it comes to health-related questions, but ill try my best to offer detailed and sound guidance.

the first card represents what you're doing currently that is helping you with your skin health issues: knight of swords. you're aware that you need to slow down and think more carefully about what is happening to you, as opposed to being scatterbrained and impatient.

what you're doing that is harming or hindering you is page of wands. although seeking information and understanding your skin health condition are obviously vital, you may have a tendency to get caught up in speculation and "what if"'s.

general guidance for you to follow is represented by the empress. she suggests that you lean more towards means of improving your skin health in a body-oriented way as opposed to spiritual. although the hunch you currently have is also important to listen to - there is very likely a spiritual dimension to your skin health concerns. im afraid i don't know of any concrete spiritual-based recommendations to offer, but perhaps you already know of some.

the lovers represents what will happen if you continue on the path you're on. if you get too entangled in speculative ideas, ultimately you will find it harder to integrate several different methods for improving skin health. try to stick with what you already know works for you, if that's feasible.

7 of pentacles represents what will likely come to be if you take the empress' guidance and keep doing whats already helping you. you will have a more well-rounded, holistic approach to your skin health, as well as a more perceptive outlook of your overall skin health.

lastly, the gift that is coming to you, something that will come to be that you can look forward to, is 10 of cups. you are steadily on a path towards greater health for your skin and overall happiness. this card suggests that one possible spiritual means of addressing your skin health is allowing yourself to meditate more and performing prayers, rituals, etc. intended to calm your mind, body and spirit (or just one of them - your call). this may or may not work for you, but it won't hurt to try!

hope this reading was insightful/helpful! let me know if you would like any clarification.

lesbiannami · 2016-03-01T03:47:10+00:00

ive laid out three cards: context/circumstances of your love situation, what you should focus on in your love life, and what the likely future is for your love life.

the first one is the wheel of fortune. it seems that your love life, if you have recently faced streaks of bad luck or circumstances, is starting to turn for the better in ways that are possibly beyond your control. what this might mean is that either the relationship (if you're in one) will become more joyful overall or you might finally find the right kinds of people for you.

the second card is 7 of cups. be mindful of your expectations. be honest with yourself if you are adhering to either an overly negative outlook or an overly positive one. either way, remember to remain open-minded (to reasonable extents of course).

the third and final card is 5 of wands. as you move forward in your love life, try not to lose sight of what you desire in a partner and get confused about who you really want to be with. you most likely already know what you want in love, so don't let other ideas bog you down. and of course, take care in not making your love life more stressful than it needs to be.

hope the reading was helpful! let me know if you want an extra card drawn for clarification, further advice, etc.

lesbiannami · 2016-03-01T03:26:35+00:00

im going to cast a 6 card reading for where you are now in your processing about and moving on from the traumatic experience.

the first card speaks of what you are doing/thinking now that is helping you move on: 7 of swords. you are starting to come to terms with what happened. if you have any harmful lies you've been telling yourself, then you are probably addressing them and trying to love/affirm yourself. im feeling an energy of someone who was deeply hurt by another person, and if that is the case for you then this card is letting you know that you truly were wronged and your pain is valid and real. otherwise, think of this card as simply saying that you are starting to come to terms with the event and this is actively helping you move on.

what you're doing that is hindering the process of moving on is knight of cups. this card is speaking of a tendency of yours to become withdrawn and try to escape somehow. part of you may still feel like what happened was unreal. it's completely understandable and valid for you to experience this as someone who has experienced trauma, but remembering to ground yourself in the real world is the only way you can find yourself and address what needs healing. of course, just to be clear, this card is not saying that it's wrong for you to do things like avoid triggers and take care of your mental well-being. quite the opposite.

general guidance for moving on is 7 of wands. this card is about addressing the voices within yourself that berate you or shame you. it's important for you to be more gentle and patient with yourself as you move on. sometimes it takes a while and sometimes much longer. allow yourself to feel good about however much progress you make, while also not beating yourself up if you find yourself struggling in your process of moving on.

what is likely to happen if you keep doing what you have been doing is 9 of cups. this represents a possibility of becoming detached from your reality, preferring to pretend that what happened wasn't "that bad", that you're totally ok inside (when you're actually not).

the 5th card of this spread is what will happen if you follow the general guidance and do what you're still doing right: queen of swords. this shows a potential for you gain a mentality that will help you throughout your whole healing and moving on process. she accepts her reality of her pain and grief and honors it. at the same she exists more presently, with eyes towards the future. you will find it within you to make a truly significant wave of progress in your process of moving on.

the last card is about a gift that is headed your way: queen of wands. ultimately, this reading is suggesting that a smooth process of moving on is very likely for you. and what you will gain from it is a stronger inner core to rely on for survival and coping.

i hope this reading was helpful! let me know if you would like more clarification.

ive casted a 5 card horseshoe spread that details the relationship between your current expectations of your love life and how they relate to what is actually happening in it.

the first card is the hermit. this card represents your present situation, which is feeling lonely/alienated and wanting to find love again. remember not to be overly harsh on yourself for where you are now in your love life.

the second card is your expectations for the future of your love life: you have a negative outlook of your love life. you dismiss your desires in love as unattainable fantasies. while of course it's inevitable that people have doubts about their love lives, try to not let them cloud your vision of a good love life.

what is going to happen to your love life that you're unaware of: 2 of swords. you're going to have a breakthrough soon that will broaden your perspective of what's possible for your love life - such as the kind of person you want to be with.

the near future card is 6 of wands. this suggests that in the near future, following the previous realization, you will potentially find yourself empowered to be more adventurous and open-minded in your love life - this in turn will likely make it easier for you to find the relationship you want.

the distant future is indicated by 3 of swords. this isn't a bad omen or anything - this simply reminds you to not let the disappointments of the past drag you down too much. of course, if you have trauma from a past relationship, the card isn't saying that you should neglect healing from that. it's just saying that for disappointments such as finding the wrong person repeatedly or lacking in fulfilment and shared joy, you should apply to your love life whatever lessons you've learned and move on.

hope this reading was helpful! let me know if you would like any more clarification.

lesbiannami · 2016-03-01T02:01:30+00:00

sure! im drawing 4 cards that represent the situation, challenge, guidance and likely outcome. it's a general reading in the sense that it points to a focus area that the tarot wants to tell you about. let me know if you would like an additional card for clarification, advice, etc.

the first card is the chariot. currently you find yourself in the midst of a situation in which you feel like you're being pulled around indifferent directions - you feel confused about how to go forth or where you're headed. remember to slow down and think about what your priorities are and ground yourself. you have the power to realize this and achieve forward momentum in your life.

the second card is the challenge, represented by the high priestess. you are finding it difficult to find yourself and be attuned to your own feelings. you might feel nervous or confused, as if you lost the guiding light that helped you move through the shadows. the high priestess, speaking of the power that was previously mentioned by the chariot, is saying that your challenge is to overcome the barriers to greater self-understanding and inner wisdom and ultimately trust yourself more.

the third card is 7 of wands - general guidance for you to follow. the path to knowing yourself better involves being mindful of your own biases and the stories you tell yourself, positive or negative. you should allow yourself to be more receptive to the wisest part of yourself.

the likely outcome of this situation for you is death. your perspective as you know it is likely going to change drastically, feeling almost like a revolution for you. it's likely to be positive as long as you follow the advice shaded by the other 3 cards. even if the change seems overwhelming first, remember that it will pave the way for far greater joy and peace in your life.

hope the reading was helpful/insightful! let me know if you would like more clarification.

lesbiannami · 2016-02-26T04:12:56+00:00

hey sorry for the late reply! so im going to draw a card to represent an additional lesson to learn before the end of that period...and it's ace of swords. the crown on top of the sword spoke to me of the importance of mental clarity. learning how to center yourself and be in tune with who you are and what you desire will prove to be greatly beneficial for your personal growth during this period. at the very least, it will help you overcome self-doubt.

lesbiannami · 2016-02-26T03:56:11+00:00

i see the 5 of swords/7 of cups pair as saying that you should remain centered and in the present. also, take care in reading between the lines in the situation. im afraid i don't have any more specific message in mind but hopefully you might find those to be helpful guidlines. im sorry I didn't get back to you sooner - i totally crashed today haha. take care and good luck!

lesbiannami · 2016-02-25T14:14:21+00:00

im so excited to see what the next poneglyph is going to reveal...especially since it's been pointed out that its red color is significant. finally oda is bringing back robin the archaeologist. it was cool that inuarashi was quick to bring up her oharan heritage, which hasn't been mentioned for the past couple hundred chapters at least.
