Lovelock - this braid in King’s hair is not just that!💖✨
I wanted to write a headcanon about this two days ago, but I couldn’t because of the trip. I want to responsibly tell you that this braid in King’s hair is not just that!
It's definitely Lovelock or Strand of Love. So that you understand Lovelock is a long strand of hair, which was often braided to show devotion to a person (to a lover, but with King it is loyalty). I think that most likely King was showing his boundless loyalty in this way, perhaps a dark strand of Kaido’s hair is woven in there. By the way, this tradition was taken by Europeans from North American Indians (so perhaps the culture of the Lunarians is not far from the same Skypieans, Shandians, etc.).
P.S.: I’ll correct myself, some historians consider Lovelock’s European origins as a symbol of knightly devotion, but to be honest, I prefer the version with North American Indians. This simply nicely echoes the general tone of the heavenly peoples that were created by Oda, clearly under the impression of the Indians.👉👈
