We’re bulding Lego scultpures and leaning into a One Piece theme.

I warmed up with a set I bought myself to kick off the month. This otter habitat got its hooks in me when I saw the new otter figures. It was a perfect build to get me going as One Piece is full of islands and ships and aquatic creatures.

My younger son has read over 100 volumes of the One Piece manga. We recently watched the Netflix live action version and I was taken with some of the designs. I started picking Isaac’s mind about the many islands, ships, fortresses, and creatures that exist in tis fictional world. He was more than happy to find innumerable references from the anime and manga. He’s going to be my guide as I try to cobble together our version of the One Piece universe.

It’s nearing midnight now and my first island is coming along slowly. It is a large mushroom of rock in an unflinching sea.

I’m publishing now to get the post done for today. I will share the finished island tomorrow.
