So far we have many many good ideas. Since the bonus sketches will be out in incoming logs, maybe we will let run the topic some few days more and then we will open the voting poll.
Here the list of themes until now:
· Crew as Hattori
· Cowboys
· Cyborgs
· Gladiators
· Marines, or Marines as pirates if posible
· Supernovas
· As shojo manga
· White collar – office culture
· As other shounen manga héroes
· Circus performers
· Cowboys/Pioneers and Indians (part of the crew in each role)
· Bikers
· Cavemen
· Rockstars
· Scientists (preferably in the chemist category)
· Beach bums
· Tourists
· Ghost hunters
· Toys in a store
· Rodeo participants
· As star wars characters
· One Piece Metal. (Luffy breaking a guitar, Zoro with triple guitar, Usopp with face paint and tongue, Nami & Robin in black leather. Money. Throwing at the screen.
· Election Time. Each of The Strawhats run for President of the Grand Line and outline their policies. Nami will raise taxes, Usopp will lie about his opponents, Sanji and Brook will be involved in scandals…
· What if Luffy and friends were in Rocky Horror Picture Show style?
· As okamas
· As hippies from 60s.
· Takeshi`s castle contestants
· in a mental institution
· riding each a different animal for a race
· as ninja turtles
· What if Luffy and friends were replaced with a different pirate crew.
· Shichibukai. Each Straw Hat would have their own theme and specialized outfit & an animal theme (such as Doflamingo being flamingo, Gecko Moria being gecko, etc.)
· Astronauts
· Straw Hats vs. Fairy Tail (zoro vs erza, people! think about it)
· as wizards
· space opera (star wars, macross,ect)
· video games
· Fishmen/mermen
· Gundam pilots
· Food Warriors
· Robot Salesmen
· Space Cockroaches
· Kogal Newspaper agency
· Tuna boat fishermen
· food critics, luffy "it's not meat!" sanji "move let me cook it" brook "i dont have a stomach... skull joke yohohoho" ect
· Farmer Chopper and his amazing educated Strawhat animals.
· Strawhats teaching kids. / Luffy: Crazy principal with fake italien beard (no seriously I just don't have any idea what kind of teacher Luffy would be, ethics?) / Zoro: PE Teacher / Nami: Economics Teacher / Usopp: Art Teacher / Sanji: Home Economics Teacher / Chopper: Biology-Chemistry Teacher / (Vivi): Politics Teacher / Robin: History Teacher (make it even lost history teacher with everyone shitting their pants because they know top secret knowledge) / Franky: Physics Teacher / Brook: Music Teacher
· Strawhats in an old school fantasy RPG
· all the Straw Hats dressing and pretending to be a different member of the crew
· Something with BB would be also nice, like a theater act or something like that, Devon as Rapunzel and BB as brave but a little to fat knight who desperatly tries to reach Devon but fails because he is to heavy for climbing on her hair. Sumthing funny for sure xDD
· Strawhats as Gaijin
· all of the strawhats being celestial dragons(tenryubito)
· just plain old royalty,
· maybe they could be hosts in a bar with all the other one piece characters coming to the bar,
· how about an actual genderswap
· The Strawhats as ganguros
· Mad scientists
· What if Luffy and friends were in a Super Sentai Series (ex. Power Rangers) ?
· What if Luffy and friends were superheroes ?
· them as gods like zeus and hades
· heir own mechas
· Mechas are good too. Oda always said he wanted to draw those, and this would be a good place to do so. Luffy can be depressed that Franky won't let him pilot the giant robot, and so Franky makes robots for everyone. He could not only do the "what does it look like on the outside" but also show what the crew has in their cockpits.
· time travelers trying to pass as normal people from times they visit
· Pokemon,
· regular people,
· rendeers like chopper,
· gundams,
· naruto ninjas
· the straw hats as muppets
· the straw hats in one of those horrible soap operas
· the straw hats owning a restaurant
· the straw hats in the Hood
· the straw hats in boot camp
· the straw hats on ice(jk)
· the straw hats as native americans
· what if strawhats were parents and had little kids?
· strawhats with their parent figures: Bellemere, Hiluluk, Shanks etc.
· straw hats with their actual parents
· as olympics
· What if the Straw Hats had no face faults and Robin did?
· Strawhats as CP9 agents or secret agents in general
· Strawhats as hardcore gamers
· Strawhats as traditional chinese martial artists with each representing a different animal based style like in classic kung fu movies taking place in different ancient dynasties.
· Ghosts in a graveyard with Brook as the groundskeeper
· Manga artists and editors; reading Bakuman has made me kinda curious if the Straw Hats could handle working on stories of their own. Plus you could either have Hachi or Hattori as an editor and it would work.
I add a new one:
what if Luffy and friends were as themselves 50 years in the future, (Lord Rayleight style?)
