The best part of being a kid is that there was really no rules when it came to imagination. Pretend play at recess was a total free-for-all of everyone's favorite shows, books, and movies. You want to be a Power Ranger that goes to Hogwarts? That's fine. Are you going to survive the Hunger Games by using your super Saiyan powers? Whatever, let's just have fun. Sure, there were a few sticklers out there that tried to get everyone to stick to draconian rules, but when you only have 30 minutes to get your energy and creativity out, anything goes.

Today, I offer you a selection of pieces by @DWalkn that combine the best of both worlds – the worlds of monsters and pirates, that is. Have you ever pondered how your favorite Straw Hat would fare as a Pokémon trainer? Well, wonder no further, my friend. Some of these combinations are a total match made in heaven!

Water type Pokémon and pirates just go hand-in-hand, don't they? I imagine it would be rather useful to have one around on a boat when you're sailing the Grand Line.

Boa Hancock with Arbok just makes too much sense. I mean, it's in her name. Although, I could see her with a Persian, too.
