I am still trying to decide why at the time Shinobu tried to roast him. One idea consists of Giyuu unintentionally jumpscared Shinobu when he emerged from the water and she dropkick him into unconsciousness before tying him up in an attempt to scare him.

Instead of a bounty plastered, this time, the merman noticed, the pirate had her face over a large poster, hung almost neatly just by the ship dock. He stayed hidden, still hearing footsteps and chattering echoing through the small port belonging to a small island he had just came across on.

He heard, despite the slurring words of those drunken humans, that the island is under the protection of the Butterfly Pirates ever since those -- what the government branded as criminals -- saved the natives of the island from nasty illness that had reduced the number of their populations. The government had deemed the islanders a 'loss cause' and abandoned them in time of needs. The pirates had saved them and the islanders were so grateful they even propped a picture of the captain by the dock.

He emerged out of his hidden spot once the coast was clear, propping his arms over the dock configuration, careful not to make loud splashing in the water as his eyes darted towards the taken picture of the Butterfly Pirates captain.

Gentle looking, her eyes were, even in the form of a picture. Unlike her bounty poster, she had her mouth opened in this one, the corner of her lips tucking up as if she was almost laughing while the photo was taken. It didn't matter what she wore in this poster or her bounty one, she could have worn a rug and still looked beautiful in it.

He tilted his head, eyes never left the poster, remembering the way this particular captain looked at him with no trace of judgement, eyes twinkling with no hostility and leaving him be in peace when he didn't reply when she greeted him.

" My, aren't you the prettiest merman I have ever laid my eyes on. "

He shuddered, feeling heat creeping up to his cheeks and ears as he recalled her sweet tone voice. Shaking his head, the merman dived back into the water, deciding that, while his dislike for humans still remained, it doesn't apply for this pirate with the name Kanae.

can we see gyutaro in the mermaid AU

I would be amazing

(And daki ofc)

I haven't figured out everyone's lore yet (lol) but here are the mermen of this AU and sea creatures they are based off, either from look or other traits.

(why Giyuu is an eel? Cause my first thought when I saw that eel was 'whats up with this dude' which is the same phrase when I first saw Giyuu)

Do you know that Tiger Shark eats almost anything? Kinda like Genya with demons, they're both gluttonous :)

I thought of having Gyomei with Basking Shark but I am still not sure.

There are a lot of things I am unsure about, like Douma cause my first choice was Crocodile Icefish and why is Yoriichi a small fish? Cause I said so (honestly Idk what to put him as)

I thought of Akaza as mantis shrimp cause they pack powerful punches tho hrmm I am not sure.

I promise I am not doing Tanjirou dirty (iam)

Him and the fish have too many similarities. Like their forehead.

If you guys have any suggestions of sea creatures they can be based off, please do comment (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)

are you able to do more of the kny pirate au? I really like the concept of it :3

(Someone asks about Mitsuri and I accidentally deleted it 🥹)

In this AU, Mitsuri is a barmaid and yes, Obanai is a merman :)

An old unfinished drawing that I've left for so long lol

Mitsuri comes back with a generous amount of fruits but no one is there when she returns.

Lionfish based merman Kyojuro and Betta fish based Akaza! (Ft Inosuke the same fish as Akaza but he has split/double tail while Akaza has crowntail)

Edit (tagging those people that first wanted to see merman Kyojuro): @raccoonkumi , @mirrorcatcreditcard , @askcookieanon

Yet again with some info of Mermaid/Pirates AU [Masterlist]

(Forgot to mention this) The Butterfly Pirates are easy to spot with their signature butterfly hairclips. Even if they occasionally don't wear it, their faces are recognizable in the bounty papers.

Merman Akaza makes an appearance with an unconscious Koyuki in his arms! The Butterfly Pirates are wary and surprised, but they are willing to lend a helping hand.

Wow y'all really like KNY Mermaid AU, huh.

(Giyuu is saved! Thanks to Tanjirou and Kanao stumbling into Shinobu throwing seasoning on Giyuu and persuades her enough to let the poor merman go. Shinobu is salty, Giyuu is bewildered but will take revenge later and then they become friends somehow)

I am thinking of doing mermen Kyojuro and Akaza later (along with Koyuki whom has Akaza tailing her around like a protective puppy) but I am not sure what fish Kyojuro will be based off. I have a few options but if you guys have any ideas, you can comment.

I am thinking of having Akaza's design based off Betta fish cause they're colourful and they're also called Siamese Fighting Fish. (But if you guys have any ideas, comment)

Listen, KNY Mermaid/Pirate AU but the men are the mermaids and the women are the pirates --

Edit: Giyuu got saved yay
