@topherjhon:
Are there any couples in one piece?
I was wondering if there are any couples in one piece or if there are any of those one sided love things
There are very few official couples of named characters that have a direct part of the story (play part of storyline either directly or as parents of character, not random citizens) that refered to but not seen much or at all. Like Roger x Rouge (parents of Ace) and King Cobra x Queen Titi (parents of Princess Vivi) for instance. There no obvious scenes but its been hinted at that Shakky and Rayleigh are lovers. From one site said (I don't know if its true) it said the Japanese word Shakky used refers to partners but not married
For one sided, the most obvious is Hancock crushing on Luffy. There used to be Alvida admiring Luffy's strength and saying she would marry him, last mentioned in East Blue saga.
The longest potential relationship is Usopp and Kaya. Usopp left Syrup Village as good friends with Kaya, as he left she said she wanted to beome a doctor. When Sanji mentions of gettign a different ship since Merry Go was getting so beaten up, Usopp snaps and demanding "do you know the history of this ship!" which Sanji replies, yeah they got it from the beuatiful blonde friend of Usopp's. I doubt that Luffy or Zoro would decribe Kaya as beautiful (they don't say beautiful to any one, closest is Luffy saying Alvida is pretty) So it has to be Usopp that called her beautiful. Better that interaction showed that Usopp talked a lot about Kaya.
After Enies Lobby she was seen again http://www.mangareader.net/103-2547-4/one-piece/chapter-440.html , as she walks off saying she had to study, she said she wanted to be able to heal Usopp regardless what ever wounds he would have. in her most recent appearance, cover of 623 http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/623 she is studing medince, despite the numerous cute suitors, she's ignoring them on her stack of books is a clipping of the newspaper announcing the Strawhats return. The picture is Usopp.
