Sorry for being a couple days late this month, but the past few weeks have been very eventful (mostly in a good way though!). Regardless, once again, feel free to ask me anything you might want to know that I can answer within my capacity and I'll reply to each of you!

Hmmm... shipping is always an interesting matter to talk about, because a lot of times it can depend on people's interest for a particular character or the chemistry between two. Personally I wouldn't consider myself much of a shipper in media, though I do have a big interest for romantic relationships in stories. It's just that to me what matters is the story between the two characters, a relationship that develops narratively, so I usually don't have an interest in "shipping" characters because they're cute, I just get invested in romantic relationships when the author fleshes them out within the story. Cue in One Piece. Because of the way it is written, Oda doesn't focus much on romantic relationships, at least for the main cast. That's not to say they don't exist. Usopp and Kaya's feelings (especially on her end) have been confirmed to be canon and there is no denying Sanji certainly harbored feelings for Pudding, though if those will remain by, say, the end of the story, is a whole other matter. That said, it definitely isn't something at the forefront like in many other stories and romance plays a more casual passive role in One Piece, which is totally fine for the way it's written, but that's why it isn't really something I care much about as I'm usually only interested in narrative-fueled "ships". Still, I believe by the end of the story Oda will likely go with Luffy and Nami (female that Luffy has got the most chemistry with across all the arcs and one of the Straw Hats Luffy actively trusts the most), Usopp with Kaya, Sanji maybe with Pudding, Zoro with someone like Tashigi (or even Hiyori who knows at this point) and... yeah, Franky with Robin. To be frank I don't really care much about them, but I can't deny that the two have a certain unique chemistry, so I can see why people would ship them. I think it mostly comes to two main reasons. For one they are the only ones in the Straw Hats among that age group. Jinbe and Brook are a bit too old, but Franky and Robin are the only ones in their thirties, so it makes their relationship seem more natural. The other mostly has to do with their chemistry in their struggles during the Enies Lobby Arc. Franky particularly told Robin that it's no sin to be born and seemed to share a lot of sympathy with Robin during a moment she didn't have much to cling on. So while it's not really that much, I think some of these elements have led many people to ship the two together. Oh and you know. She grabbed his balls. That happened too.
