How OP MEN would react if you told them to leave you while you’re wounded during a battle.
cw: mentions of blood and injuries. gn!reader
Luffy
“Luffy, leave me and continue fighting.” You’d say as you lay on ground with blood dripping out your fresh cuts.
He’d pause for a bit, brows knitted.
“Huh? Why would I? Are you stupid?” Blunt as ever.
You’d cough up some blood when you chuckle at his words, in which in turn would alarm him.
“Oi oi oi, stop! you’re hurting yourself more!” A panicked look on his face.
You’d push him away with all the strength left in you and he’d contemplate.
“Just—stay here ok? I’ll kick the enemy’s ass in 10 seconds and come back for you.” Then he’d take off, a surge of determination coursing through him.
Law
“Captain, leave me and continue to fight!” You’d say with shaky breath.
He would click his tongue, clearly pissed.
“Don’t give me that crap, (name)-ya! You’re clearly on the brink of death!” He’d sigh as he puts up his hand so he can start treating you with his powers.
You’d swat his hand in protest, folding it before he could say “Room…”
“Hurry, Law! The others need your aid, I’ll be fine!” He’d glare at you but sigh.
While gritting his teeth he’d say, “You better stick with your words.” Before joining the others in the battle.
He had to be quick, he can’t bear the thought of losing someone he loves dearly again.
Zoro
“Zoro! Don’t lower you guard and continue fighting!” You’d say as you clutch on your torso—probably 5-8 broken ribs if your hunch is true.
“You’re an like idiot like that cook!” He’d reprimand you, helping you lean on a wall. “No way in hell I’m leaving you to die here!”
You’d groan in pain, making his angry look dissolve into a worried one.
“C’mon, I’ll get you to Chopper.” He’d say, putting your arm around his shoulder. But before he could do that, you’d pull away.
“I said I’m fine, Zoro!” You’d argue, trying to mask the pain behind your voice. “Or are you underestimating me?”
At your last sentence he’d smirk, putting the hilt of Wado Ichimoji between his teeth and biting on it.
“If you die, I’ll kill you.” He’d say seriously, before turning his back to you and continue slashing the enemies.
Sanji
He’d immediately stop on his tracks when he heard a blood curdling scream from you.
Knowing that it was because you were trying to protect him from an enemy who was about to attack his unguarded back, it made him feel much much worse.
As swift as he was, he’d be able to catch you before you could even fall on the ground.
You’d look up at him as he asks you if you were ok, immediately scanning the room and screaming for Chopper’s aid.
“Sanji, I’ll be fine—please, save our allies.”
Then, you’d notice how his lips trembled a bit. That voice you just spoke with him just reminded him of his mother, so delicate, so comforting.
“No, no, no. I won’t leave you here.” He’d say with a soft voice, using Sky Walk so the two of you can leave in the midst of the battle.

'THINK WITH YOUR PUSSY NOT YOUR BRAIN. FT. RORONOA ZORO.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing 𓏲 𓏲 roronoa zoro x fem! bimbo! reader
content + warning 𓏲 𓏲 dacryphilia, creampie, semi-public sex, reader is very dumb & clingy, attempts of dirty talk, unprotected sex, more like a quickie, slight tummy bulge, hints of size kink, short n‘ sweet.
note 𓏲 𓏲 zoro‘s type is definitely strong but dumb girls 🤭
(人*´∀`)。*゚+(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧(人*´∀`)。*゚+(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.
it was by chance that you got to meet zoro, it‘s actually quite funny but embarrassing for the Pirate.
he was lost.
& you happened to be there, so he asked you for directions but you didn't leave him alone after that.
clinging onto him like some lost kid.
Zoro was obviously annoyed but decided to remain silent. he has no interest in you but you don't seem to get that!
Zoro has no time to be playing around with women, the only person who would do that is that dumb cook, Sanji.
"zorooo" you kept whining & whining his name while zoro tried his hard to ignore, so he could regroup with luffy & the others.
you were just about to start your whining again but this time zoro had cut you off.
"shut the hell up! can‘t ya‘ see that i‘m trying to do something important? quit calling my name like that! it‘s so fucking annoying!" you were shocked from zoro‘s sudden outburst that you just stood there, eyes widened, staring at him.
Zoro clicked his tongue & started walking away.
you immediately started catching up, "i don‘t get it? what‘s so important? you‘re just walking anywhere" zoro just clenches his fists, trying his best to not let out another tantrum.
&...you‘re back to whining & complaining.
zoro suddenly stops in his tracks..."you! what‘s so hard about understanding that i don‘t want you around me? just leave me alone!" once you heard zoro‘s last 4 words tears started bursting out of your eyes.
"zorooo!" you suddenly threw yourself at zoro & hugged him so tight, crying on his chest.
"quit clinging onto me like that! are ya‘ kid!?" you looked up to zoro, tears in the corner of your eyes, "but zoro...i like you!" your breasts were pressed against zoro, making it harder for the pirate to look at you.
"ya‘ like me? quit saying stupid things!" you buried your face on zoro‘s chest, not letting go.
"listen ‘m in a hurry, i don‘t have time for this!" zoro & the others have just stopped at this island, so he actually have so much time to spare.
you once again look up at zoro mascara running down your face & a pout covering your face, zoro will not lie, you actually looked kinda good like this.
zoro was getting hard just from your face & breasts.
fuck it. his dick wins, wait no. you win.
zoro drags you into an empty hallway, causing you to let out a gasp, "listen i don‘t know what part of leave me alone ya‘ don‘t get but i guess i‘ll have to fuck those words into your little dumb brain," his words were sent straight to your core.
a blush was spread across your face & you immediately tried to cover it with your hands.
"oh?" zoro smirks as he saw you hide your face, "you‘re shy now? didn‘t see ya‘ even slightly embarrassed when ya‘ said ya‘ like me," zoro pinned you against the wall & started groping your breasts, his thumbs occasionally rubbing your nipples since you weren‘t wearing a bra.
"anyways ‘m gonna make this fast ‘m in a hurry after all," zoro‘s cock sprung out, his tip covered with pre-cum. zoro started rubbing his cock on your clothed pussy from under that short skirt of yours.
he kept sliding his dick on your clothed pussy, until he started letting out low grunts from the feeling.
zoro slowly moved your panties to the side & positioned his cock at your entrance, "you‘re already dripping, ‘don‘t think i‘ll have to prep ya‘ right?" you were nodding your head repeatedly, too cock drunk to think.
"mhm! just fuck me already!" zoro instantly slammed his hips against yours, his cock already so deep into your warm cunt.
zoro started off with rough thrusts which were to your liking, with every thrust you would let out low moans & whimpers, “s-shut up! are ya’ trying to get us caught?” your walls clenched around zoro’s length making him let out a chocked moan, “argh...! i-is the thought of getting caught excites ya’?” your juices were coating zoro‘s dick with every thrust he makes. 
“z-zorooo...’need more..!” your moans were getting higher making zoro pull you into a kiss, moving his hips at a rapid speed, making the tip of his dick hit your g-spot over & over again. 
tears were threatening to fall from your eyes, once zoro pull out of the kiss you both were breathing heavily, but zoro’s thrusts remained the same, fast & rough. 
the tip of zoro’s dick created a small bump that was visible on your tummy, “s-shit ‘think ‘m close...” zoro fastened his thrusts making you roll your eyes to the back of your head, with your mouth wide open. 
“z-zoroo please cum inside me! ‘want your cum zorooo..!” these words were enough for zoro to spill hit hot semen inside of your abused hole, his thick cum was filling you up.
you immediately came right after zoro, completely milking his cock with your cum. 
once zoro pulled out his cum started oozing out of your cunt, making the swordsman bring two fingers & push them inside of you.
"don‘t waste any of cum, it‘s not everyday you‘d get filled up with my semen," or so you thought, cause after this incident zoro let you follow him freely, not complaining or whining about it.
even if you did start to get annoying with your whining & clinginess, he‘ll just have to fuck you & fill you up with his cum till you shut up. <3

How ASL Bros React To Getting Married To You
Tumblr media
A/N : well, I reallyyy want to write a nice long fic but like.. life man. I’m on spring break and have work all week and with my sleep problems 😭 just enjoy this please c:
Summary : what the asl brothers wedding would be like.
-
Luffy
“Woah! You look awesome, [Name]!”
So cheery and wholesome.
Zoro is his best man, ( much to Sanji’s dismay )
EVERYONE is there, every single person he’s ever met is there so it’s crowded and you basically had it outside, in Foosha Village, though he wanted it to be on the ship.
All of the girls Luffy’s met is responsible for your appearance, they all helped you on your big day.
Some of the marines were invited, of course.
Luffy’s best mans/groom mans ( idk) ( other than Zoro ) consists of Sabo, Ace, Sanji, Usopp, Franky, Brook, Law, Shanks and Koby.
Your bridesmaids consist of Nami, Robin ( maid of honor ), Perona, Tashigi, Vivi and Makino. ( shirahoshi and others didn’t have too much room to stand by you because of the guests so they just sat in their respective seats.)
Before it officially started, there was a lot of tension so separation in seats were needed. Big Mom’s crew is sitting on the left back, Marines in the front right, Law’s, Kid’s and Shanks and other pirates are put in the right back, and everyone else Luffy knows is in the front right.
Few are still in shock because of the fact that LUFFY is getting married before them.
A lot of yelling and laughter from everyone is around but as soon as the classic music is playing in the background, everyone shuts up and turns to face the back, where you’re walking with Garp.
Old man Garp is the one taking you, and even he is full of tears from the fact that his own grandson is getting married.
“You take care of my dumb ole’ grandson, you hear? If he ever becomes too much of an annoyance, just knock him a few times in the head.”
And when you finally reach him, everyone is quiet and has the proudest smiles on their faces. Their Luffy is all grown up.
His bright, radiating grin is plastered and he is pretty overwhelmed but right now, you’re distracted by his handsome look in his suit.
Of course, he has shorts instead of long dress pants but he still looked handsome regardless.
Vows are said, rings are given and you smile at Luffy as the minister ( Sengoku ) questions your commitment.
“Do you, [ Name LastName ] take this complete fool, Monkey D. Luffy, as your everlasting husband and, future pirate king?”
Chuckles are heard, and you couldn’t suppress a giggle either. “I do.”
“I see. I wish you luck on this journey. Luffy, you may now kiss the bride.”
Claps are heard around as Luffy grins. “About time!” He cheers and pulls you by your hands, quickly smashing your lips together in a kiss.
“Congrats, Luffy!”
“Not bad, Straw Hat.”
“Where’s the beer? Time to party!”
“Alright, Luffy! Woo!”
Music is quick to break out as everyone is celebrating and cheering.
You and Luffy already cut the cake, ( it took you a lot of force to make Luffy not shove his face in the cake and just CUT IT. )
The giant cake made by Sanji and the Big Mom family, was shared for everyone and there was still plenty left.
And it was just a fun time with everyone. You even threw your bouquet(?) behind you already and it seems the next to be wed was Tama!
Clearly some of the women weren’t too happy to see the little grow becoming married before them but it was a nice laugh.
The night goes on and it’s getting late. Guests are leaving after wishing the two of you well and you two head in for your suite that Nami booked as her present.
“It feels normal. I thought this was some big special thing, why is it such a big deal again?” Luffy questions, forgetting what the girls had told him the several nights before about weddings.
You smile gently and set the last wrapped gift to the side with the others, taking a glance at the shimmering ring on your left hand.
“Because,” you spin around and face your husband, reaching over and taking off his straw hat that he kept on.
“It swears our connection and commitment to each other. Why do you think Shanks married Makino, despite their long distance relationship?”
Luffy offers his gentle smile, seemingly more relaxed at the mention of the two of the most important people in his life, out of many.
“Because they love each other?” He guesses calmly, tilting his head and you nod, giggling at his black hair that swayed.
“And I love you.” You whisper, leaning closer and felt Luffy’s arms enveloping you in a tight hug, his face nuzzling into your neck.
“I love you, [Name].”
And he leans back, connecting his lips on yours.
-
Ace
“Oh..wow..”
Oh boy, did the Whitebeard crew go BIG.
I have a feeling that Ace would want something a little normal or smaller perhaps, just inviting his personal friends and family, and maybe a few people he met along the way of his journey.
He’s a friendly, outgoing person but for a personal occasion, it’s best to stick with the people you’re closest to.
But he wasn’t complaining when he saw the large äss party, feast and the important people in his life showing up.
Sabo, Luffy and his crew, Shanks, Makino, all of his brothers, members of his old crew, Garp, he was thrilled to see everyone!
The wedding was held on Whitebeard’s ship, of course. It wasn’t too fancy or grand but still pretty large and the ship was right in the middle of the sea.
Ace is all dressed up handsomely in his suit, with the help of Marco, Vista and Izo. His hair isn’t too messy and just styled neatly.
You were dressed beautifully in your gown/suit, with the help of the nurses, Nami, Robin and Izo.
There was a bit of trouble with seating but naturally, many people stood up anyways and were quite busy throwing confetti and other things at you, even if it was a wedding.
Whitebeard is taking you down the aisle, it’s a little bit difficult but he still did, and you can bet he’s excited to have a daughter/son that will help watch over Ace’s dumbass self.
“Rough him up real good, take good care of my stupid son. And call me Pops!”
When Ace sees you walking down, he’ll admit, he’s teary. He’s actually found love, someone like him.. and he’s about to be married to you, the most amazing, attractive, and sweetest person he’s met.
You look so amazing in your outfit, he’s in tears. He’s so lucky.. Marco has a hand on his shoulder and patting his back. “Congratulations, Ace. You deserve this.”
Wiping his tears with his finger, he nods and exhales, holding the widest, warmest smile he could muster.
He was going to love you and protect you all of his damn life, that’s for sure.
The minister is actually Vista! Ace’s best man is Marco and his groomsmans all include Thatch, Luffy, Jozu, Izo, and Haruta!
“Do you, [Name Lastname] take this young kid as your loyal, lawful and everlasting husband?”
“Really?” Ace pouts at Vista’s joke and chuckles are heard, even yours.
“I do, Vista. I’ll make sure he grows.” You giggle as Ace sighs in exasperation.
“Very well. I now pronounce you husband and wife, Ace, kiss your damn bride already.”
“My pleasure.” Ace grins and he’s quick in pulling your wrist towards him, and spinning you into a dipping motion before connecting your lips together in a kiss.
Whistles and catcalls are heard as loud cheers and applause are made.
“Go Ace!”
“Alright, Fire Fist!”
“Better not lose her, Ace!”
Ace rolls his eyes at the comments from his brothers and pulls you back up with a smile. He’s a little glad he didn’t fall asleep midway because of his narcolepsy.
Party immediately breaks out, Sanji aids Thatch in the kitchen to bring out everything and it’s a long night of dancing, boozing and more.
Ace is just off with the guys, having fun and celebrating while you are off with the women, talking about experiences and such.
And when Ace finally finds you and pulls you two away to his room for some alone time, he pulls you close.
“Well, Mrs. Fire Fist, what do you want to do first?~”
His arms are around your waist as he secures you towards him, a cheeky smile on display on his face.
“Not sure, what did you have in mind?” Playing coy, you shrug and tilt your head, turning away from his face which he pouts and uses his hand to force his back to him.
Pecking your lips, Ace smiles again and leads you to his bed. “I have an idea, if you’re up to it?” He wiggles his brows, making you laugh.
He jumps onto the bed, pulling you with him so you were on top. “Well?”
“Oh! Cuddles, I get it! Sure, I’m tired anyways.”
Ace groans at you, heaving a sigh and he whines. “Come on, [Naaamee]!”
You just giggle and sit up, repositioning yourself on his lap and straddled him. “Fine, fine. You’re lucky it’s our special day today.” You hum.
“Oh? So you don’t want to do this after today is over?” Ace muses, smirking a bit since he knew the answer.
You puff your cheeks out at the thought of not having sex with Ace anymore, but you weren’t going to back down. “..Nope!”
Knowing the truth, Ace chuckles and begins to grind upwards into you.
“Alright, I guess I better make this a special memory to remember.”
-
Sabo
“You look incredible, [Name]..”
The most average, normal one. It’s traditional, smaller than most would be, and it’s for personal guests only.
So close members of the revolutionary army, his brothers, Garp and Makino were the only ones invited. If Luffy wanted, he could bring his crew but that’s it!
It’s traditional, so it was held inside a chapel, of course. It wasn’t anything special, everything was set up already and prepared for a small group so it was great.
Sabo is in a dashing, handsome suit like Ace was, but somehow has a much more charming, princely appearance. He helped himself in the appearance, with smallest help of Inazuma.
Your dress too! Somehow it’s more Royal appearing and your veil resembles a crown in a way. Koala and Iva helped you out in this!
Sabo’s best man is actually Ace! The strongest brotherly bond overpowered the thought of having Kuma, Iva or Luffy as a best man, but fortunately, they didn’t seem to mind, since they were groomsmans anyways. Iva being both bridesmaid and groomsman.
Ace was pretty teary and honored, and felt so excited.
The one who takes you down the aisle is Dragon. He’s a little awkward about it at first but he is quite proud of Sabo, even if he doesn’t openly show it.
“Take good care of him, alright?”
“I will.” You assure, thanking him when you finally reach the point of Sabo’s side.
The whole time, Sabo is staring at you in awe, feeling speechless. How did he manage to get someone as beautiful and wholehearted as you?
He can’t contain his wide grin and excitement, his hands just a hint clammy from the nervousness of possible rejection. But he knew you loved him. Because he loves you.
“Someone looks handsome.” You whisper in a giggle and Sabo chuckles. “Not compared to the beauty you have right now.” He winks.
The minister is actually Kuma, of course. Kuma was the obvious choice. Kuma took the position with gratitude.
“[Name Lastname]. Do you take Chief of Staff Sabo, as your lawful, loyal and everlasting husband?”
“I do.”
“Congratulations. I now pronounce you husband and wife, Sabo, please do the honor of kissing your bride.”
Sabo is the most natural approach, taking a step forward and cupping your cheeks in his hands and pulling you forward, for a kiss.
Cheers and applause are made and heard, and Luffy, being the brother he is, pulls out a loud confetti popper and pulls it, it shooting it out everywhere like fireworks.
“Congratulations, you two!”
“Alright, time to get drinking!”
“Better not let this get in the way of your missions..”
“Luffy, how’d you even get that?!” Sabo widens his eyes and he laughs. “Franky made it for me! He said it’ll be super, for the wedding!”
“Geez..”
You can’t help the laugh that escapes your lips and Sabo finds himself laughing alongside you and the whole place is soon filled with laughter and cheer.
It’s a small family party but it was still pretty chaotic regardless, and Sabo makes sure to take you outside for some fresh air when it becomes nighttime.
“Hey, feeling okay?”
Taking a seat on the bench nearly, Sabo sits beside you and you nod, immediately leaning into his shoulder.
“It’s overwhelming, I guess..” the warm smile that spreads your lips is contagious as he does the same when he sees it. “But,”
You take a look at your ring finger, that held the beautiful silver ring and diamond. “I couldn’t be happier with today. I’m married to the love of my life.”
Sabo smiles gently and closed his eyes, leaning against the backrest and let the moonlight light against his face.
“I am, as well. I couldn’t be any luckier to be married to you now..” taking your hand in his, he intertwines your fingers and brings your hand up to kiss.
He kisses your ring finger specifically and hums.
“Thank you.. for being with me.. I love you, [Name].”
“Of course. Thank you for being with me. I love you, Sabo.”

In the Heat of the Moment
Disclaimer: One Piece (and its characters) belongs to Eiichiro Oda-sensei.
Reminder: I have no beta-reader. Any grammatical and spelling errors are solely mine.
Warning: OOC possible. One shot.
Rating: T
Note: For Day 3—Nami’s Day—of the ZoNa Days event (at @zonamievents). I’m already late but still posting it. It’s unfair if it’s only Zoro who gets an entry.
In the Heat of the Moment is by Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. I still have The Umbrella playlist to thank for being such a good company.
Summary: "You're getting sappy witch. Sounds like you care about me."
The rain hadn’t let up from the moment it began to pour down.
Which should not have been a problem in the first place… the Straw Hats have their very own weather expert-slash-navigator extraordinaire after all.
If only said weather expert-slash-navigator extraordinaire didn't get distracted, arguing with a certain green-haired swordsman.
"This is your fault!" Nami complained, rubbing her arms with her hands in a poor attempt to keep the emerging chill away.
​Somehow satisfied, she folded her arms across her chest as she sulkily glared at the rain which has now completely turned into a steady downpour.
​Luckily she was able to pull the man with her towards an alcove in the town's wall before they got drenched. It was an uncomfortable fit, as they were almost pressed to each other, but it'll do.
​Zoro was snarling beside her. "This rain is MY fault?" He huffed. "Right! It's my fault coz I absolutely can make it rain on a whim!"
Nami turned sharply towards him, glaring daggers. "If you hadn't gotten lost—" 
"I DON'T GET LOST!" 
"—like the idiot that you are," she continued ignoring Zoro's outburst, deliberately raising her tone and effectively drowning his retort with her shrill voice. "Then we wouldn't be stuck in here ZORO!" Her voice jumped another octave when she said his name. "In. HERE!" She repeated the words, making sure to emphasize them and hoping to drill it straight into his thick, dumb skull. 
"Tch! Then you shouldn't have followed me!" The former bounty hunter groused.
​"Besides, aren't you supposed to be good at predicting the weather?" He commented sardonically. "Shouldn't you have known that it’s going to rain today?" 
Nami gaped at him disbelievingly. ​And heat rose to her cheeks.
​She gave his shin a good kick for that.
​​"Ite!" 
​"I know that!" Nami practically shrieked at him. "That's why I followed you here to tell you about it! Is this the thanks I get from making sure you don't get your dumb self lost in this island while a storm is brewing?!"
"Again woman, I DON'T GET LOST!" Not the one to be deterred, Zoro raised his own voice to match hers. "And damn it! Stop kicking me!"
​"Bullshit!" The ever-feisty navigator exclaimed. "That a load of crap and you know it!"
​She angrily poked his chest with her finger. "If I leave you to your own devices... We. Would. Never. Find. You!" She punctuated each word with a prod on his torso. As if that would actually make the idea sink unto him. "I don't want Luffy and Chopper whining about how you are lost and that we should find you!
​Zoro grabbed her hand to stop her from poking a hole in him. Grasping it firmly he all but shouted back at her. "I will be fine! I will find my way back to the Sunny!"
“Hah! Fat chance of that happening!” 
​They were almost nose to nose by this time; all the while scowling at each other, both waiting for the other to back down.
Now only the sound of the rain falling heavily down the soaked earth can be heard as they continued their stare off. Along with the sharp intake of breaths coming from the two of them because honestly, their shouting matches can be quite arduous.
​As the glowering continued; Zoro thought he caught a glint, a spark from behind Nami's eyes before those warm brown orbs widened.
​In what could only be a realization that their current position is leaning towards… precarious. It was also not helping that his own eye had darted all over her face, taking in the flush on her cheeks. Despite it coming from indignation, she still looks...
 ... pretty.
​He almost choked at his thoughts. When did he turn into that shit cook?
Zoro inhaled sharply and realized what a wrong move that was. He caught a whiff of Nami’s signature scent. Sweet with an undertone of zestiness that reminds him of her mikan fruits at their peak of ripeness—that certain moment that makes you want to steal one so you can taste them...
​The color on her face deepened and Zoro wasn't sure if it was because she was getting angrier and angrier by the minute.
Or... If it was because she saw that his stare lingered for more than a second or two at her lips. ​"Screw this!" He grunted, instantly averting his gaze. He felt his face heating up and to get out of their rather 'awkward' situation, he immediately resorted to his favorite defense mechanism whenever he faces off against this orange-haired devil incarnate.
Losing his temper on her. 
"You are not my keeper woman!" He snapped at her before immediately stepping out of their sanctuary and into the rain.
That made Nami snap to attention. "Hey!"
​Without another word Zoro turn around and started walking away from her despite the torrential rain.
WALKING. AWAY. FROM. HER.
While it’s raining cats and dogs. 
 "Zorooo!!!" He heard Nami screeched his name, horrified that he would actually leave her alone. There was no way he was getting back in there with her. Not when it occurred to him that he was only a second away from grabbing her...
...and kissing her.
​He walked in faster strides when she called him again. He had to get away from her. He needed to get away from her.
Far away.
​Because honestly she was driving him crazy lately with all these thoughts of wanting to kiss her surfacing every moment whenever he was with her.  
And who knows what the repercussions are? This is Nami they're talking about. She would probably sic ero-cook and even Luffy if he dared to even try. Or rat him out to either Robin or Usopp or both.
Or charge him more than what his current bounty is.
He winced at that.
​For now he needed to get away and calm himself so he can reflect...
​There was no warning as something collided at his back, almost making him stumble down the wet ground.
Did someone just attack him?
​But the presence wasn't threatening, even if its arms were wrapped around his neck in a chokehold, throttling him.
"YOU DID NOT JUST LEAVE ME ALONE THERE RORONOA ZORO!" Nami deliberately yelled at his ear, probably making his ear drum shatter and rendering him forever deaf. In a split second the Supernova realized that Nami… had jumped him.
​"Hey! Get off witch!"
"No!" "Get off!" "I said no!"
​"Get off now or I'll--"
Her hold around his neck tightened. "Or you'll what?" Nami hissed right in his ear in a tone so dangerously low that an actual chill ran down Zoro's spine. He gave her arm a light slap, a silent gesture to loosen her hold because she was cutting off his air. When she didn't relent, he effortlessly bounced her up his back.
​With a squeak of surprise, her arms slackened and he was able to finally draw in some air.
Nami’s hands grabbed at his shirt in an attempt to prevent herself from slipping from his back. Zoro tried to shake her off him. But the cat burglar swiftly clung onto him by locking her legs around his waist.
His remaining eye widened at that. 
"Nami!"  ​ "Stop trying to shake me off Zoro!" Nami protested as she held on to him tightly. Her knee knocked against his katanas and he scowled. "Then stop strangling me damn it!" "You deserve it you ass! Leaving me alone like that! Wait until the others hear about this you brute!" ​ Zoro muttered an expletive under his breath. Nami is a real witch!
He can feel her sliding down his back again. She was having a hard time clinging onto him because his shirt and her arms and legs were all wet from the rain water.
"I'm charging you for all these Zoro!" She muttered against his ear, her breath hot against his skin… a stark contrast from the cold rain water falling down on them. "The hell you are!" He managed to retort. She was speaking from his blind side and even as he tilted his head, he cannot see her face or her expression.
The next thing he knew… her fist had descended on his head.
“The hell! Why did you hit me?!”
“Because you are a moron.”
“That’s it get off me!”
“No!!”
​They continued struggling against each other, right in the middle of the rain that was soaking them to the bone.
​And Zoro realized then and there that Nami was quite nimble. She had quickly managed to change her position from his back to his side with her legs still locked around him.
He really didn't know what to do with that information, except it's going to be really handy once he gets the chance to...
​​​Fuck! ​​ She had hit him on the head with her fist ​again.​ That’s twice already.  Why are her punches hurting him so much? Was it clad in haki?? "Argh! Nami stop it!" He tilted his head towards her so he can growl and glare at her all at the same time.
She just gave him a haughty serves-you-right grin.
In retaliation he bounced her against him again. 
​Which was a wrong move. Because all it did was rubbed her breasts against him and press her closer to him.
It was a good thing the rain was drowning them.   Though it did made her yelp in surprise. He’s good with that.
​"Argh! Stay still Zoro! I swear if you drop me down I'm going to—"
“To what?” His steely eye met hers. This time it was his turn to challenge her.
Nami’s hold around his neck tightened, probably because her grip on him was slipping again because she was just as wet as he is and also because she still wants to choke the shit out of him for leaving her alone earlier.
She lifted her chin slightly so she could gaze back at him even as the rain water continued trickling down her face.
Was it just him or Nami’s quite comfortable where she is right now?
He knew she was trying to give him the evil eye. But it was hard to do that when the droplets of rain keep clinging to her lashes and she had to blink them away in a manner that affects him greatly.
And there was it… that familiar glint, that spark he saw when they were back in the alcove taking shelter from this rain.
“Look Zoro,” she finally sighed. “I just wanted to make sure you will come back to the Sunny in one piece and not get stranded in this weather."
​Zoro blinked. He was not expecting that.
​Then his face broke into a smirk. "You're getting sappy witch. Sounds like you care about me."
“Y-y-ou!” She stammered.
He grinned at her as she sputtered, her face turn absolutely and adorably red.
To think, he actually high-tailed it out of there earlier with his tail between his legs all because he can't face the realization that he wanted this woman.
But there was no denying it now. Amidst this rain it was very clear. That was all he needed.
He finally decided to take a chance instead of running away from it like a coward. ​
He tucked a strand of her wet hair behind her ear. "You can punch me or charge me later Nami," was all he said before he pressed his lips on hers.
Her body jerked in surprised. His arm instantly wrapped around her waist to secure her as one of her hands grasp at his shirt tightly.
​He swore he heard and felt her murmur 'oh fuck' against his lips before she deepened their kiss.
​They pulled apart slightly for air. Zoro hauled her up a little and Nami was about to lean down to for another kiss…
“A-choo!”
They looked at each other in surprise. Nami’s hand automatically covered her mouth as her face turned red again… this time for a very different reason.
“Ehem!”
They both turn their heads towards the sound and saw an elderly man standing a few feet away from them under an umbrella.
He was shaking his head as he looked at them.
“You youngsters should just get a room you know. You risk getting sick doing things out here in the open that should be done privately.”

The (s)we(e)t taste of revenge
[Read on AO3 or below the cut]
This terrible idea wouldn’t leave me alone all week so now I’m subjecting you to it, too. Enjoy Usopp Suffering™ because LawLu and ZoSan think they’re oh so very subtle :)
----------
Usopp startled awake in his bunk at the loud bang that came from somewhere a bit too close for comfort. At first, he thought there was an attack, a navy or pirate raid, or maybe even seakings. He was already half-way out of bed with Kabuto in hand when he noticed the badly muffled moans that followed.
Of course.
Of fucking course. No pun intended.
Usopp let go of his weapon and fell back in his bed, burying his head in the soft pillow and praying for patience not to murder the love sick assholes who never paid absolutely any regard to anyone or anything around—mostly the poor people like Usopp who always had to suffer through their… escapades. And Usopp was getting really fucking tired of it. Why couldn’t all couples be like Franky and Robin, who had the basic human decency to keep their private time private? It’s always Toraooo this and Straw Hat-ya that or ‘bleed out for all I care, Mr Nosebleed’ and ‘awww don’t be so jealous, Marimo’ followed by make outs and cuddling and flirting and sex.
When another, louder moan came, Usopp groaned quietly, cursing Brook’s snoring which only managed to irk him more. Of course the skeleton could sleep though this without issue and had to rub the fact in his face. He really was alone in this hell, wasn’t he?
Turing around, he tried to cover his ears with his pillow. It didn’t help. Did he have any earplugs? Franky definitely had some. But could he get them without alerting those two to him being awake? Because that would be awkward.
...Actually, why should he care? Rude awakenings asked for rude solutions.
Mind made up, he glared at Luffy’s bunk above him. He took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself before he delivered a swift, not so gentle kick to the bottom of it.
Immediately, Luffy cried out in protest, “What the hell, Usopp?!”
Usopp frowned, giving Luffy a dirty look when his head popped out from above. Then he sighed again. No point getting annoyed at Luffy of all people. “Torao, I know you’re up there,” he said flatly instead.
At his words, Luffy’s expression turned to surprised, then embarrassed, until settling on defensive. It took him a moment but then he finally replied, “Torao’s not here.”
Usopp rolled his eyes. When would Luffy learn that he really, really couldn’t lie? Plus these were bunk beds. Ship bunk beds. Really just wooden hammocks. Did this idiot of a captain honestly think a body materializing out of nowhere would not be felt by the person below?
Deciding to ignore Luffy, Usopp instead gave the upper bunk another kick, this time making sure he hit the side where Torao seemed to be. “Stop ignoring me, you ass.”
“What do you want,” Torao snapped finally, sounding as pissed off as Usopp had ever heard him.
“Do you mind?” Usopp said, suddenly so very tired.
There was a pause before Torao replied, a single ‘What?’ full of obvious confusion.
Usopp didn’t answer, simply stared at the bottom of Luffy’s bunk with a blank expression, hoping Torao would telepathically understand how very unimpressed Usopp was in that moment.
The silence hung over the room only for a moment.
“Mm, cook.”
“Z-Zoro, fuck, ahh…”
A beat passed.
“Oh fuck no,” Torao growled, now just as annoyed as Usopp himself was; maybe even more so. “Room. Shambles.” Okay, yeah, there clearly was some disgust in that tone.
Which Usopp guessed made sense, considering the horror that had spread on Torao’s face when Zoro had asked the captain couple about their sex life—god knows what compelled him to do so—and the obvioius relief that replaced it when Luffy had asked what sex was. When Zoro laughed and went to explain, Torao cut him off and said it was something boring that Luffy didn’t want to know more about and that was the end of it. Only the next morning, Zoro had woken up without his dick.
It was a weird exchange with an even weirder—if funny for those who were not Zoro—result and no one had dared to breach the topic ever again.
But well, it wasn’t like Usopp was complaining about Torao’s and Luffy’s refusal to even think about sex. Them rubbing how happy they were in Usopp’s face was bad enough. Every time he found them sleeping on the deck together using Bepo as a pillow, every time he heard Luffy call Torao’s name before jumping on his back, every time he saw them hold hands as they flirted all cutely, and every goddamned time Torao used his power to quietly teleport himself into Luffy’s bed... it made Usopp’s heart ache.
He knew his place was right here. He belonged on the Thousand Sunny, under the Jolly Roger proudly donning its straw hat, chasing his dream of becoming a brave warrior of the sea. He knew he didn’t make a mistake leaving but that didn’t stop him from wishing Kaya was there.
He missed her; he missed her so much it was almost unbearable and despite being able to pretend it was alright most of the time, watching Torao melt with every smile Luffy threw his way really wasn’t helping.
Yet, it was still better than what Zoro and Sanji kept subjecting him to, and if he were to choose one thing Torao was good to have around for, it was this.
Every time Zoro and Sanji would start fighting, Torao would dump some water on them before it could turn too heated. He would move them out of his way and to the other side of the ship whenever walking in on them making out in the kitchen, and Usopp had to say the enraged, embarrassed screams were so worth waiting for Torao to be the fist one to walk in during meal time, just to be safe.
“What just happened? Were Zoro and Sanji fighting again? What did you do?” Luffy disappeared from Usopp's view as he turned back to Torao, firing one frantic question after the other at him.
Bless his innocent little heart. Sometimes, Usopp wished he, too, had no idea what those two were doing on the literal other side of the wall. How very discreet of them, Usopp thought, even his inner voice dripping in sarcasm.
“Don’t worry about it,” Torao said and, judging by Luffy’s surprised yelp and the swaying of the bunk bed, he pulled Luffy back down to him so they could snuggle.
Usopp really hated them sometimes.
But it wasn’t like he was in any place to get all bitter right now, so he simply rolled his eyes, trying not to let any other feelings except gratefulness show in his voice when he thanked Torao.
Before the man could reply, the door to the boys’ room burst open. When Usopp turned to look, he wasn’t surprised to see Sanji standing there, pure anger in his eyes, hair and clothes a complete mess. What was strange, however, was that he was dripping wet. Head to toe. Like he just took a swim in the ocean.
“I’ll fucking get you for this,” he hissed, stomping over to his locker to change his wet clothes.
Torao huffed, shooting back, “I’d love to see you try.” There was a smirk even audible in his voice.
“Why are you so wet?” Luffy asked then, and Usopp had to stifle a laugh at how oblivious he could be.
“Because someone thought it was a great idea to dump me in the goddamned aquarium,” Sanji snapped.
Usopp couldn’t help it. He couldn’t stop the laughter from bursting out and he didn’t even care if Sanji and Zoro would be out for his blood now, too. It was too funny, too amazing, and so much better than what he had hoped for.
“You’ll both learn not to piss off a cook, you assholes,” Sanji growled in response.
And Usopp… Usopp only laughed harder.

The fact that I'm in all of those fandoms you're writing 😃
Hello! I'll be known as the Sero Anon!
My yandere request for you is;
{Choose character} Sabo/Luffy/Sanji, or Hawks/Kirishima/Denki
[Plot]Reader is aware of their yandere tendecies and takes advantage of how much the yandere is in love until the yandere snaps
Luffy is an easy yandere to fall in line with.
it becomes really convenient really quick. He's not a very romantic person most of the time, so really it's just being the favorite crew mate at first. You don't have to help around the ship as much. You can sleep in later. You have final say on when your turn to keep watch is. A lot of the time you even end up sleeping in his captains' quarters with him, which is significantly more comfortable then the hammock you're used too.
Not to mention the extra food. You get all this, and all he wants is for you to sit on his lap sometimes and let him wrap his arms around you several time, or he'll wake you up at odd hours of the night just so he can talk to you when nobody else is around. Those can be kind of frustrating, but other times he just wants you to sit at his special spot with him. He has a need for you to be with him during his quiet moments, the rare ones that everyone is always fixated on.
The rest of the crew didn't really mind, they thought it was kind of funny for the most part. Robin would always give a knowing look, Zoro was definitely the most frustrated by it, but even he thought the captains blatant infactuation was fun. It wasn't like you weren't helpful, you just enjoyed the privileges you got. You were a pirate too after all, none of them were gonna blame you for acting like one.
So you couldn't help but be a bit surprised when Luffy decided for you that you were sharing a room now. It didn't change much, but him moving your stuff for you was unsettling. From there, you never really had any time away from your captain. And even when you were around other people, he didn't like when you payed attention to them. He wasn't violent to the crew, he'd just be louder, overwhelm you with him until the other person left, or until you gave in and gave him the attention he wanted.
Then he started waking you up more. Everytime he woke up, he'd wake you too. He couldn't stand being away from you for too long. You weren't really yourself, but the crew just worked around it. Sanji would give you an extra coffee, an extra strong coffee. They stop making as many jokes about being the captains favorite.
It was a rare occasion for you to wake up while Luffy was still asleep. You found yourself staring at his sleeping form. He was quiet. You were overwhelmed. You were tired. You realized you desperately wanted to leave, and to escape anywhere else but here. It wasn't worth it anymore, living like this wasn't worth how tired you were. How uncomfortable you were. How you felt more like a pet at this point then a favorite person.
But you couldn't leave. The Thousand Sunny was god only knows where. Surrounded by water. You were isolated with this man. Your captain. And the crew who loved each other, but him specifically more then anything. This was your life now.
Luffy stirred, and your stomach dropped.
But then he just turned away from you. You couldn't see his face or the rise and fall of his chest. It was the first time you could remember being awake and looking at anything else. The moment got to you. You slipped out of the bed, out of the room, and left.
You really didn't know where you were going as you wondered the dark and quiet halls. It was nice being alone. It was so much more tolerable being alone. You knew to avoid the crows nest, the deck really in general was to be avoided. You didn't know who was standing watch tonight, and unless it was Robin they'd probably try and chat.
You realized you were still tired, while you walked around the empty ship. The quiet made it easy.
You hadn't even realized how much you had really missed the quiet.
But good things don't last long for you, and much too soon for your liking, you heard a panicked yell.
Luffy was awake.
You didn't want to give up your isolation yet, you couldn't bear the thought of it. So thinking quickly, before everyone was up and looking, you ducked into a storage room and cuddled into a ball under some shelves. You pulled a crate in front of it to hide you for good measure.
You're so tired.
As you drift off to sleep you fantasize about the shelves crushing you, and it brings you more hope then any thought you'd had in a long time.
When you wake up the noise is louder. It's down the hall. Luffy's right outside, and you can feel the worry and anger and fear radiating off of him from where you were hidden.
"We'll find them. Nobody new has come on the ship, and for sure nobodies left. They probably just woke up and wanted a snack or something, then they fell asleep."
It was Robin. She was talking slow and soothing, probably trying to calm the worried teenager down.
"Yeah? Well they should've woken me up." He says it with a tone that makes you wish you'd stayed in bed with him.
You felt like it'd be better for everyone involved if you had been kidnapped or were being held hostage. Then this wouldn't be your fault. Then someone else would have to take the worst of his anger.
But there was nobody else. Just you.
The doors kicked open.
You feel like the panics gonna make you throw up.
"There's too many places to hide in here."
Usually it'd sound whiny, but it doesn't right now.
"Do you think they're hiding?"
"I think they need to be found."
You're sure this is it. You're so sure that you're about to be found. The confrontation is moments away, and you are in now way prepared for it. You don't have a good excuse. You don't know what else to do, so you go limp and pretend you're asleep.
"There's only a few places really for someone their size to fit comfortably in here. Shelves or the closet."
"Alright, well then go look under the shelves."
He's much more demanding then you ever realized.
You keep pretending you're asleep, so you're not sure when Robin's eyes find you. But they do. Then, the crate is being moved. You expect to be ripped out, to be shaken awake, for more yelling. You them to immediately try and "wake" you.
But they don't. Instead a wave of hands gently moves you out from where you were, into the light. You cant help but move to cover your face slightly. It's so bright, and it's what you'd do if you were actually sleeping too, right?
They still don't move to wake you, so you suppose it's gotta be working somewhat.
Then Luffy picks you up, and you know that you should say goodbye to any independence you'd had for a long time.
He's more careful then you'd expect though. He seems like he's really trying not to wake you. He carries you for such a long time. Then he drops you on the bed. Cruelly, suddenly. If you'd actually been asleep he would've absolutely woken you now.
"I know you're awake (y/n). I know what you look like when you're sleeping." He's always blunt, you have to remind yourself. But not like this, and you know that.
You should cut your losses. You know you should. So you make a move to sit up, but you're shoved back down.
"If you're tired then sleep."
You are tired. You're so tired. Why shouldn't you? it's not like staying awake will somehow make this all better. You're the closest to alone you can possibly be in your sleep. If he wants to tempt you, then you'll take him up on it.
When you wake up you're uncomfortable. That's not new. You usually wake up suffocating. Luffy's usually got his arms wrapped tightly around you when you wake up.
But not today. Right now your alone in the bed, with an uncomfortabley tight collar around your neck. It's connected to a chain leash, that's currently keeping you tethered to the bed. You only have enough room to take a few steps away from either side of the bed, and could only really stand at the edge.
You slowly brought your hands to your neck, and were uncomfortable when you couldn't find any sort of clasp, other then where the leash was attatched.
The humiliating realization that Franky probably made this while you were sleeping dawns on you, and you have to choke back a sob. You can't even join the rest of the crew for your own emotional support. You just get to sit on the bed, waiting for Luffy to get back.
Which he does. He seems happy when he gets back, like nothing's happened. He smiles at you even.
"Hi (y/n)! I missed you. But everyone else said I should let you sleep a little longer- said it'd make things easier.",
Of course they did. You appreciated the little of the gesture you could, but still couldn't bring yourself to respond. Luffy didn't really seem to mind, he just kept talking.
"Don't really know what happened this morning, you can explain later after you've eaten. Don't worry about it though!" he leaned forward and yanked the leash.
"We've got a bunch of these all over the ship now! so if I don't have you, I'll know for exactly where you are! So if it's not gonna happen again, no reason to still be upset about it, right?"
he's smiling again, like what he's said makes any sense at all.
You should probably nod along. You can force your head up and down once, but all of your energy is gone. You might as well make peace with your new life, you realize. You're never gonna be able to get out of this.

Monster Trio's Reaction to their S/O Hiding her Sadness
Credits to Gif Owners~
A/N:
- Could be agnsty a bit
its a semi Modern AU reaction but still you along with the MT living on Sunny Go with the Strawhats
Tumblr media
Summary:
You were facing a hard day and nothing was on your side, a busy day as usual, managing your time with your college schedule, you got alot of college project to work on your shoulders , you got scolded many times at your part time job for no reason and basically your day sucks, In short you got no time to spend with yourself and your lover and do things that you like along with him. Trying to avoid all of this by trying to stay positive, you passed by a bench Infront of the sea view on your way back to thousand sunny, you sat alone feeling the heaviness on your shoulders, suddenly you felt a warm liquid sliding over your face, Yes you were crying, you couldn't continue lying to yourself to be positive as you did the whole day convincing yourself that its just a bad day, you felt down and you thought crying could solve it. After taking out what's inside you walked back to Sunny checking the time, yeah you're late plus alot of missed phone calls from the crew and mostly from your bf, he is probably now going crazy cuz you're not back yet. You reached the ship climbed the boeard up to the deck, You were smiling trying to act that nothing happened and then....
Tumblr media
Luffy:
Noticing that you're already back , He walks to you immediately even before you even put your foot on Sunny's grass, he says nothing but keeps staring at your face knowing that something is wrong with you, so you forced a laugh and asked him " Whats wrong my Luffy?", He pulled you into a hug and clamly said, "Y/N, its okay, everything is going to be okay, you can tell me what's bothering you", you hold tightly into his clothes and snuggled your crying face in his neck . yes he can read you like a book.
Tumblr media
Zoro:
He doesn't usually mind or care that you're back late or something, he respects your own responsibilities and the fact that you have to work at your part time job, but its different today. Although you passed by him on the deck smiling, you walked to your room immediately, before closing the door, Zoro entered behind you and gave you a back hug, and whispered in your ears. " Who made my girl cry, shall i go and cut them off?" . You turned and faced him and shaked your head refusing, but then you asked him " how did you-" and he cutted you with a warm kiss on your lips. " I know your true smile from your pretending one, now tell me what happened" he told you while stroking your hair gently.
Tumblr media
Sanji:
It was already late, and most of them where in their rooms but Sanji was waiting for you on the deck smoking his cigarette, as soon as he heard your foot steps approaching, he stood up from where he was leaning until you approached him, he could immediately notice the tears stains on your face and so he cupped your face and gently played with your cheeks with his thumbs saying, " Sweetheart, you cried don't you? Please don't hold them inside you, just speak and i will open my arms for you to cry in them and let all the things out. I just don't want you to hide your sadness okay?". You couldn't hold your tears and cried in Sanji's arms while he kept pating your back and kissing your the top of your head.

Read also at AO3 / FF.N
For a moment, Ikkaku’s brain struggled to process exactly what she was seeing. Why was Straw Hat Luffy on the Polar Tang? No one had heard from him or his crew in two years—since her own captain had saved his life. Was she hallucinating? Had she hit her head? Had she fallen asleep? Her brain couldn’t find a logical reason for what she was seeing.
“Eh?” Luffy said, tilting his head at Ikkaku. “You’re not Sanji. Who are you?”
“Who am I?” Ikkaku echoed in disbelief. “Why are you on my ship?” she demanded, hands going to her hips.
Luffy frowned at her for a long moment before his expression lit up. “Your ship? You must be one of Torao’s nakama!”
“Torao?” Ikkaku repeated in confusion.
Luffy nodded. “Mhm. Your captain!”
Ikkaku’s eyes narrowed. “My captain is Corazon.”
“That’s what I said. Torao.”
Irritation washing over her, Ikkaku pinched the bridge of her nose. “No, it’s not. I work for Corazon, second in command of the Donquixote Family, not whatever you just said,” she said. (Though whether Law still held that title seemed to be a question up in the air, considering the crew had been attacked, but that wasn’t Straw Hat Luffy’s business.)
“Torao is Corazon,” Luffy said. “He’s Law.”
Ikkaku stiffened. “How do you know that name?”  
“Eh? He told me!” Luffy replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
That she did not believe. Law wouldn’t just tell anyone his name—especially a rival captain. But Luffy didn’t seem inclined to expand on his explanation.
“You still haven’t answered why you’re on our ship,” Ikkaku ground out, deciding to change approaches since she wasn’t getting anywhere.
“Oh, it was Torao’s idea,” Luffy said, scratching his nose absently. “He was supposed to call hours ago, though, so I’m getting worried about him.” His vision narrowed in on her, and Ikkaku had to fight the urge to step back with the sudden intensity of his gaze. “Do you know where Torao is?”
Ikkaku frowned at that. Not only did she have a hard time believing Law had invited a rival pirate crew onto the Tang—never mind the pirate in question was one he’d gone out of his way to save for a reason he hadn’t been able to explain—but she was also struck by the statement that Law seemed to be missing. That wasn’t good.
“I don’t know,” she said honestly.
The atmosphere around them lightened as Luffy crossed his arms and made a thoughtful noise. Ikkaku watched him, unsure of what to do, but she was pulled from her thoughts at the sound of doors busting open behind Luffy in the mess and yelling. Oh boy. She’d completely forgotten about Jean Bart and Clione. Luffy spun around, eyes going wide, and dashed back into the room he’d just come from.
With a sigh, Ikkaku followed a moment later and entered a chaotic scene. Pirate Hunter Zoro had his blades drawn as he stared down Jean Bart, who had… were those hands spouting out of his shoulders? He’d frozen as he eyed the limbs perilously close to his thick neck. Demon Child Nico Robin had her arms crossed in front of her as she stood to the side of Zoro. The long-nosed sniper had a slingshot drawn and pointed in his direction as well.
Meanwhile, Clione was facing off against Black Leg Sanji and a skeleton? Wielding a sword? And a cyborg? What the—?
Ikkaku rubbed her eyes. She’d seen a lot of strange things in the New World, but this was definitely near the top of the list. There was just something about seeing the crazy happening on her own ship, which was supposed to be a safe haven, that caused her brain to short circuit.
“Stop!” Luffy yelled as he barreled into the center of the mess hall.
“Luffy?” Zoro asked, glancing at his captain.
“These guys just burst in and attacked us!” the sniper added.
“Because you’re on our ship,” Jean Bart growled.
“Your ship?” Cat Burglar Nami asked, loosening her grip on the strange baton in her grasp. “Are you—”
“Torao’s nakama!” Luffy interrupted. He turned and pointed at Ikkaku. “Her too.”
The other Straw Hats turned to look at her, and her face warmed at the attention. She awkwardly raised a hand in greeting. After a moment, the Straw Hats stood down. Once the weapons had been lowered, Ikkaku wound her way through the mess to stand next to Jean Bart and Clione.
“Who’s Torao?” Clione asked, confused.
“Not this again,” Luffy grumbled.
“Our captain is referring to Corazon,” Nico Robin jumped in immediately, a spare hand appearing to pat Luffy on the shoulder comfortingly before disappearing in a flurry of petals.
“Straw Hat knew his real name,” Ikkaku murmured to her friends. They gaped back at her, just as surprised as she had been. The only ones to still refer to Law by his given name were the Hearts, and they were careful only to do it when they were safely outside the hearing of any outsiders.
“How do you know our captain?” Jean Bart demanded.
“We… ran into him on Punk Hazard,” Nami said, sliding her baton into a holster at her hip.
“Punk Hazard?” Clione asked, glancing at Jean Bart and Ikkaku. “Was that where he went on his mission?”
“Must be,” Ikkaku agreed. It made sense since Law’s mission had to have been nearby, and Punk Hazard housed a sensitive project, though they didn’t know the details of it.
“Some jerk named Verto showed up and attacked all of us,” Luffy said. Well, that seemed to confirm the story; the only thing the Hearts knew about the trouble Law was in was that it involved Vergo in some way. “He called Torao a traitor and threatened Torao’s nakama.”
Ikkaku traded glances with Jean Bart and Clione.
“What happened?” Clione finally asked.
“We said we’d help,” Luffy said. “Torao saved me two years ago. He’s a good guy. And if you’re his nakama, you must’ve helped me too, so you’re good, too!”
Ikkaku gaped at Luffy. Was he serious? This was not how a pirate was supposed to act.
“Vergo’s dead,” Robin added. “Corazon killed him.”
“Good,” Ikkaku said without thinking. The thought that Law had gotten revenge on that bastard was a good one. They’d all seen how Vergo and Law interacted when Vergo came to the palace, and the malice that existed on both sides had been blistering.
“Good riddance,” Clione added.
“Not a popular guy, I take it,” Nami said, eyebrow raised.
“He hurt our captain,” Clione said. “What’s there to like?”
Zoro hummed in approval as he dropped into a chair and threw his hands behind his head in a more relaxed posture.
“That still doesn’t answer why you’re on the Tang. Our ship,” Jean Bart clarified at some confused glances.
“Torao told us to wait here until he called,” Luffy said. “But it’s boring when you can’t explore a new place.”
“So, you’re here to help us?” Ikkaku asked skeptically. Even if Luffy thought of himself as repaying his debt to Law for Marineford, it was crazy to take on a Warlord in the country he ruled as king. There was no way he had any idea what he was getting himself and his crew into.
“That’s what I said,” Luffy huffed. “Why does no one ever listen to me? That Mingo is a bad guy, so we’re going to help Torao take him down and save his nakama.”
“You didn’t know about this?” the sniper asked, absently fiddling with the handle on the slingshot he’d rested on the table.
“We haven’t seen the captain since he returned,” Jean Bart said. “We were supposed to meet after dinner—”
“But we were attacked by two executives and had to flee the palace before we could see the captain,” Ikkaku said. “We came to the ship, hoping some of the others made it here as well.”
The Straw Hats exchanged concerned looks. “Corazon called us not long after he reached the palace this afternoon,” Robin said. “He’d met with Doflamingo and intended to check in again when he met with you all, but we never got that call.”
“Do you think he’s been captured?” the little tanuki in the corner, Chopper, piped up, concerned.
“Or killed,” Sanji said with a frown.
The Hearts exchanged a look. Years ago, Law had revealed to them the ultimate ability of his Devil Fruit—the true reason Doflamingo had kept him at his side all these years. The true reason he held the Hearts as collateral for Law’s continued cooperation. (“You deserve to know why you’re being held hostage,” he’d told them when they’d asked why he was telling them this.) Doflamingo would not kill Law before he had the chance to perform that operation, but Doflamingo could make even the strongest men beg for death. And he would have no qualms killing some of the collateral if he believed Law was a traitor.
“If Doflamingo found out about Vergo,” Ikkaku began slowly, “he’d be furious.” Furious might be an understatement.
“And if he knew the captain did it…” Clione added, trailing off.
“That would explain why we were attacked,” Jean Bart said, crossing his arms.
“We need to find out what happened to L-er, Corazon,” Ikkaku said, cutting herself off. Luffy might have used Law’s name, but she didn’t know what the others knew. And she would never go behind Law’s back to reveal something like that.
Robin smiled. “Trafalgar Law, right?”
Ikkaku tensed. It was strange hearing her captain’s name out of the mouths of those who were not her nakama. Something about it felt wrong, like they were taking liberties they had not earned. And yet—
It was also a reminder that her captain was his own man, one whose identity did not revolve solely around the man he was forced to serve. Sometimes even he seemed to forget that, and maybe it was time his crew—and, apparently, their allies—helped him remember.
“Torao,” Luffy added with a nod.
So Luffy’s nickname was a butchering of Law’s surname. That made more sense than Ikkaku thought it would when she’d first heard the name.
“So, how do we find out what happened to Law?” Clione asked, looking between his nakama and the Straw Hats.
Ikkaku glanced around the mess. “I have a really bad idea.”
-----
This was definitely a bad idea, Ikkaku thought as the small group approached the palace. If anyone saw them… She shook her head; there was no real way to avoid this if they wanted information.
She and Clione had taken point, Robin and Luffy behind them. Ikkaku thought even four people was too large a group for this task, but she’d been outvoted. Ikkaku was small, stealthy, and knew the city and palace layouts so was a natural choice. Robin had operated as a spy for many years, plus had a handy—no pun intended—Devil Fruit ability. Luffy, while hardly a sneaky presence, had been adamant that he be part of the group that entered the city in search of news of the missing Heart captain. Neither Clione nor Jean Bart wanted Ikkaku to be outnumbered by the Straw Hats, even if they were apparently allied for the moment, and Clione, as the smaller of the two, had won out. Ikkaku led the small group through darkened back streets and alleyways to reach the palace.
Ikkaku turned back to the others. “We have to be very careful from here,” she whispered. “The executives have their rooms in the same wing; they’re not particularly close to each other, but if we make too much noise, any of the other three could still hear us.”
“We know,” Luffy grumbled, and Ikkaku found herself suppressing the urge to stick her tongue out at the other pirate—how childish. They’d gone over this when they’d made their hasty plan on the ship, but Ikkaku wasn’t taking any chances.
Robin nodded for Ikkaku to lead on, and she headed for the mostly darkened grounds. There should be guards patrolling, though by this late (or early) hour, they were likely to be tired and less attentive. However, with the Hearts loose, it was entirely possible that the guard numbers had been increased.
At one point, Ikkaku looked back to see Robin lagging slightly behind, her arms crossed in front of her and her eyes closed. A moment later, her eyes opened, and she dropped her arms. She met Ikkaku’s gaze.
“There was a guard approaching,” she explained as she caught up. “He’s no longer a problem.”
Ikkaku nodded and continued toward the wing that housed Law’s chambers. The group hid behind bushes or ducked behind retaining walls to avoid a few guard patrols, but eventually Ikkaku came to a halt. She pointed up to the second story to a dimly lit window overlooking a small balcony.
“That’s Law’s room.”
There was no telling what they’d find in there, if anything. But it was the best place to start.
“It’s empty,” Robin said, eyes shut. She opened them again and nodded to her captain.
Luffy nodded back and wrapped an arm around Ikkaku’s waist. Her demand of what the fuck he thought he was doing died in her throat as she was pulled upwards alongside the Straw Hat captain. She stumbled as her feet hit the tile of the balcony and threw a hand to her mouth as her stomach protested violently.
“Shishishi,” Luffy chuckled as he turned around and shot his arms over the railing and, moments later, pulled Clione over. He dropped to his knees, face green, as he sought to catch his breath.
“What the fuck,” he hissed. Ikkaku agreed whole-heartedly.
Robin appeared then, calmly pulling herself over the balcony. Ikkaku peered over the railing again, and her eyes widened at the sight of arms sprouting out of the side of the building to make stairs. Creepy as it was, Ikkaku would have preferred Robin’s method of reaching the balcony. She shook her head before turning back to the room.
Clione stepped forward, slid the balcony door open, and stepped inside the room. Ikkaku followed him, peering around for anything out of sight. She inhaled sharply as something immediately caught her attention. Clione followed her gaze and cursed quietly.
“What?” Luffy asked, coming up behind her.
“Kikoku,” Ikkaku said, pointing to the sword partially obscured by the coat on Law’s made bed. “If there was trouble, Law wouldn’t be without his sword.”
“Luffy,” Robin called quietly, standing next to the desk.
Luffy looked up, and Robin nodded to the straw hat sitting on the desk next to Law’s Den Den Mushi. Luffy frowned as he made his way over to the desk and picked the hat up. Ikkaku couldn’t read the expression on his face as he looked at the hat for a long moment before putting it back on his head.
“There are blueprints of the castle here,” Robin added, fingers running over a sheet of paper on the desk. “Was he looking for a way out?”
“Shit. There’s blood over here.”
Ikkaku, Luffy, and Robin turned at Clione’s words.  He stood by the far wall, and his gaze was on the carpet. The first thing Ikkaku noticed was Law’s hat, haphazardly discarded on the floor. Law might not be so attached to his hat as to earn an epithet named after it, but he would never just throw it on the floor. Near it, there was a small, dark stain. Ikkaku’s stomach sank.
“Look at the wall,” Robin said, tracing a cut in the brick. There was blood smeared across the gash.
Violence had been done here.
“Ew, what’s this?” Luffy said, nudging a snot-colored streak next to the blood.
“Trebol,” Ikkaku realized, recognizing the executive’s mucus. The scene she was starting to piece together that had happened in this room was not a pretty one. “He’s an executive.”
“And his Devil Fruit controls mucus,” Clione added.
Luffy pulled a face at the thought. “Gross.”
Ikkaku nodded in fully agreement. “It’s really sticky and strong.”
“Strong enough to hold an adult male to a wall?” Robin asked, still eyeing the bricks.
“Yes,” Ikkaku breathed, realizing what she was implying.
“What are you saying, Robin?” Luffy asked. “What happened to Torao?”
Robin pursed her lips for a moment before speaking. “It seems likely Torao-kun was planning to meet with his crew but first was looking for a way to get you all out,” she added, glancing at Ikkaku and Clione, “and was ambushed.”
“Trebol’s mucus must have trapped him against the wall,” Ikkaku said, eyeing the blood-streaked gash in the brick. “Trebol doesn’t use a blade, though. If Law was stabbed…”
“Diamante,” Clione supplied.
“Another executive,” Ikkaku told Luffy and Robin. “Uses a sword.” She shook her head. “Could have been Doflamingo’s strings, too.” The Warlord was infinitely, after all, creative and cruel with his Devil Fruit abilities.
“But then where is he now?” Luffy asked, looking between the other three.
“Dungeon, probably,” Ikkaku said after exchanging a grim look with Clione. The palace dungeon was rarely used for prisoners, as criminals were typically sentenced to either jail or the colosseum. Prisoners who had earned Doflamingo’s special attention were the ones to be placed in the dungeon.
Law would definitely fit that criteria.
“So, we go to the dungeon,” Luffy said, pounding a fist into his palm decisively. “Get him out.”
“No way,” Ikkaku said, shaking her head.
“Why not?”
“First, we don’t even know if he’s there,” she said, issue after issue running through her mind. “And even if he were, we’d have to sneak through the entire palace to get there without being seen.”
“There are no external doors to the dungeon,” Clione added. “Or windows.”
“To prevent escape attempts,” Robin mused.
“And even if we got to the dungeon and got Law out without being seen—which is unlikely—he’s wounded,” Ikkaku added, gesturing at the blood on the floor. “He won’t be moving well, and we’d need speed to get out.”
“Plus, the rest of our nakama are spread out over the city,” Clione said. “If we got the captain out and back to the Tang, we’d still need to find the others.”
“The sun will be coming up soon,” Robin added, nodding toward the window. Outside, the dark of night was beginning to turn gray in the pre-dawn hours. “We’ll no longer have the cover of darkness.”
Luffy stuck his bottom lip out in a pout but nodded his understanding. “Fine. But we have to do something.”
“What are you doing in here?” a new voice demanded from the doorway.
Ikkaku’s breath caught in her throat—they’d been here too long, they’d been too loud, fuck—as she slowly turned to the door. She hadn’t heard it open.
“Who’re you?” Luffy demanded.
Ikkaku’s eyes widened as she recognized the figure in the doorway. “Violet?”
-----
The sound of multiple sets of footsteps approaching pulled Law into full wakefulness. He’d only managed a light doze since Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin had run out of questions for him, considering the uncomfortable position he found himself in. Not only was his strength being leeched from his body by the Seastone shackles, but his shoulders were also starting to ache from the strain of being chained above his head, his head throbbed, and his hand…
Law swallowed and shoved that thought aside. He couldn’t think about that right now.
He wasn’t sure how much time had passed since there were no windows to let light in. It felt like ages and no time at all at the same time.
“Captain?” Bepo murmured worriedly. With his mink ears, he’d probably heard their guests approaching long before Law had.
Law grunted in acknowledgement of his first mate but didn’t have time to reply. His eyes narrowed as his cell door opened. The guard stepped aside with a bowed head to reveal Doflamingo.
Fear from his vulnerable position warred with rage in Law’s chest as he looked at the taller man. The man who had killed Cora-san, had stolen his freedom, and held his nakama’s lives in the palm of his hand out of a selfish, egomaniacal desire for power. Law clenched his jaw but said nothing, not trusting his voice, as the Warlord regarded him from behind his sunglasses, expression unreadable in the dim light.
Finally, he spoke. “Get him cleaned up then bring him to my office.”

Day Four: Betrayal
It's true that most alliances between pirates end in Betrayal. Law didn't want this one to end that way.
TW: major character death
Word Count: 2.2k
"Law!" The shriek that echoed across the battlefield made Law's ears ring. Law spun around, looking for the source. They had been yelling his name but there was too much going on. Then Nami was by his side. Something in his stomach turned when he saw the look on her face. Panic set in Law's chest and his hands shook, Law clutched his sword tight.
"Where's Luffy?"
"Up there!" Nami's voice hitched with panic and Law looked up. Luffy was falling from the top floor of Kaido's palace. Where the big fight had been. Law knew he should be up there with Luffy but he got caught up in all this chaos on the way there.
"He's not moving..." Nami said.
"Room!" Law didn't hesitate. Luffy was far away but if Law learned anything in Dressrosa it was that he could push his room far beyond its limits. He brought Luffy to them. Law just hoped that this was a repeat of Dressrosa, and Luffy just need that cool down.
That wasn't the case, and Law knew it as soon as he laid eyes on Luffy. He was beaten beyond recognition. What wasn't bruised was covered in blood. Nami gasped.
"Luffy!"
"Where's Tony-ya!?" Law asked. He'd need all the help he could get. Luffy looked worse than he had after the war and Law just hoped to any god that might exist that all that blood wasn't Luffy's.
"I don't know," Nami muttered, though she was looking around.
"Help me get him out of here, it's not safe!" Law said he was already picking Luffy up, pulling Luffy's arm over his shoulder. Nami did the same and they dragged Luffy into the wreckage and hid in a building Law was certain wasn't structurally sound.
That didn't matter right now.
Nami and Law laid Luffy down on the ground. Law took Luffy's wrist, his hands shook as he tried to find a pulse. Part of Law didn't want to for fear of not finding one.
Law didn't need another person he loved dying. He couldn't take that again. Another loved one dying because of his own stupid choices. But he found it, Luffy's pulse, it was faint, but there. Law sighed in relief.
"Is he..."
"No, not yet anyway, I need Tony-ya," Law said. He couldn't do this on his own.
"I'll find him!" Nami said. "Just keep Luffy alive until then!" Nami said. "He's going to live!"
Law wasn't so sure about that. Law opened his room. He'd do what he could for now but he needed the supplies he knew Chopper had, and he needed Chopper's help.
"You won't die here," Law muttered. "I promise..." Law clenched his jaw, trying to keep his lip from trembling.
Law focused on Luffy, his beaten and bruised body. Luffy should have had broken bones from how badly he was beaten, he shouldn't be alive.
Luckily for the both of them, that devil fruit had Luffy's back.
But the internal bleeding was beyond belief. Luffy was going to bleed out and Law wasn't sure what he could do even with Chopper's help. Law closed his room. He'd need as much energy as he could get to save Luffy when Chopper got there.
Law heard footsteps coming towards him. It was way too soon for Nami to be coming back. Law drew his sword and pressed himself against the wall next to the entrance.
No way in hell was Law going to let any harm come to Luffy right now. Law heard the footsteps right on the other side of the entrance and swung his sword.
It was met by another sword. One he recognized. Wado Ichimoji.
"Roronoa?" Law asked. He still couldn't see the sword's wielder.
"Trafalgar," Zoro responded. Law lowered his sword and Zoro stepped into the doorway.
"L-Luffy!" Zoro gritted his teeth as he sheathed his own sword.
"He's in worse condition than he was during the war," Law admitted. Zoro looked over at Law with his eye wide.
"What does that mean?"
"I was barely able to save him then," Law said, sheathing his sword. He sat on the ground next to Luffy.
"Is he going to die?" Zoro asked with a sullen voice. His eye was glued to Luffy.
"I don't know," Law admitted. His voice cracked and Law cleared his throat through to cover it up. He pulled the brim of his hat over his eyes. Luffy wasn't dead yet.
"Law!" That was Chopper's voice this time.
Chopper came running into the room and Nami was right behind him.
"How is he—" Chopper stopped dead in his tracks. "Oh no."
"Chopper!? What does that mean!?" It was Zoro that asked, well, more of, demanded.
"Law?" Chopper looked over at him.
"I don't know if we can save him," Law admitted to all three of him. "The internal bleeding is bad, and if all that blood is his, is a miracle he's not dead already." Law bit back his own feelings as he spoke.
"We can!" Chopper insisted, he went to the other side of Luffy and kneeled on thr ground next to him. "We'll save him, no matter how bad it is."
Chopper spoke with confidence as he pulled off his backpack filled with medical supplies.
"You guys keep watch outside, we need to the most stable environment we can get," Law ordered. Not even Zoro hesitated to follow Law's command. He and Nami went outside, ready to do whatever it took to defend this make-shift operating room. Law's room opened up behind them and all there was left to do was hope Chopper and Law were skilled enough to save Luffy.
No words passed between Nami and Zoro but the tension was there.
Funny that Nami and Zoro were the ones standing here. They had come a long way since the three of them sailed on those two dingies in the East Blue. To think that could all end in just a few minutes was absurd. Luffy couldn't die, not here.
Not when he could have died in Logue Town on that execution platform. Then, it was like God himself intervened to keep Luffy alive. Zoro remembered it clear as day. He and Sanji had been so far away and that lightning had left the taste of metal on his tongue.
Meanwhile, Law and Chopper had gotten most of the external wounds cleaned up. That was the easy part. Law didn't think all of the blood was Luffy's. He had a wound on the side of his head, some cuts on his arms and legs, and some scraped up knuckles. But the scar over his chest was open again. Not as bad as it had been during the war but it was still bad.
The real challenge was the internal bleeding still. Law was worried about cutting Luffy open in this hut of a building. It wasn't sanitary at all. But they didn't have a choice. Law just did what he could to keep the dust settled in on the floor in his room. Luckily Chopper had a lot of rubbing alcohol in that bag of his.
"Oh god," Chopper's face contorted into the definition of worry the moment he saw the damage.
It was so much worse than Law thought. Maybe Law had been denying the severity earlier out of panic.
"Law—" Chopper looked up at him and Law could see the doubt ridden in his face.
"Don't think about that!" Law snapped, he was already working with what he could. Luffy was a miracle worker and what they needed right now was that miracle. I felt like hours they were in there.
Finally, when Chopper and Law got Luffy all bandaged up, it seemed like it was all over. But Law couldn't convince himself that Luffy would be okay.
Chopper put a wet rag over Luffy's face. Law's hands were covered in blood now. He got to his feet and headed to the battered doorway.
"Roronoa, Nami," Law called. They were standing a few feet away, eyes on the somewhat distant battlefield.
Both of them spun around.
"We're done, he's alive," Law said. Though it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself of that.
"Is he awake?" Nami asked. Law shook his head. The three of them went back inside. Chopper was securing some of the bandages.
"What now?" Zoro asked, looking to Law.
"We wait for him to wake up," Law said.
"He can't go back into battle!" Chopper said.
"I know that," Law snapped, he was on edge and worried.
"He will anyway," Zoro said. "You know he will."
Law didn't say anything to that. Zoro was right. There was no doubt about that.
"Luffy!" Chopper exclaimed. Luffy was sitting up, rubbing his head.
"Where am I?" Luffy muttered, looking around the room Luffy started coughing, he covered his mouth with his hand. His coughs were harsh and dry. Law winced at it. Luffy's hand was covered in blood when he pulled away.
There's blood in his lungs.
"Oh, everything hurts," Luffy whimpered, Luffy clutched his stomach and pulled his knees up to his chest.
"Luffy, stop moving so much, you'll reopen all your wounds!"
Law could feel it, Luffy slipping away in his room.  It was like watching a Vivire card burn. It didn't seem real especially since Luffy was right next to him, awake, breathing, talking. A thought crossed his mind and Law made a decision immediately.
"Luffy-ya," Law said quietly. Law couldn't keep the tears from his eyes.
"Torao!" Luffy grinned. "I didn't realize you were here! You saved me again, huh?"
"No," Law muttered, his voice cracked. He could feel Luffy's life in his room, it was weak and getting more faint compared to Zoro's, Nami's, and Chopper's. Luffy's life always seemed to overpower everyone else when Law opened up a room. Not now. "You're dying."
"What!?" Chopper, Zoro, and Nami all shouted at him.
Luffy looked over at Law and blinked.
"Huh," Luffy muttered, he looked down at his body. "Is that why everything hurts so much?"
"Probably," Law said. Luffy started coughing again.
"Ugh, that hurts!" Luffy grumbled when he was done.
Luffy leaned against Law's side. Law was a little surprised but didn't say anything. "Sorry, guys." Luffy looked over at Nami and Zoro with a smile, then Chopper with that same smile.
"Don't go saying stupid shit," Zoro huffed. "You're not dying, you just need rest!"
Law didn't expect that to come from Zoro. Nami or Chopper maybe, but not Zoro.
"You're right about one thing, Roronoa," Law said. "I won't let him die here."
"Torao, what are you talking about?" Luffy muttered.
"I can still save you," Law muttered to him. He wasn't sure if the others heard him but he didn't care about that.
"You're thinking of that thing that Mingo wanted!" Luffy sat up and glared at Law. "I won't let you! I'd rather die!"
"Luffy-ya—"
"NO!" Luffy snapped. "You're not dying for me and I don't want to live forever! I'll die right here if I have to!"
"Luffy!" Law bit.
"What are you guys talking about?" Nami demanded. Luffy started coughing again and Law could feel Luffy's life fading still. He was barely hanging on it was a surprise Luffy was even conscious.
"My devil fruit has the ability to grant someone eternal life," Law said. Silence settled over the three strawhats while Luffy kept hacking up blood. "At the cost of my own life."
"Law—" Chopper started to say.
"Zoro!" Luffy met his first mate's eye. "Don't let Law do that thing no matter what happens, captains orders!"
Zoro's eye widened but he took a deep breath and nodded. "Aye, captain."  Law gritted his teeth. He expanded his room as wide as he could get it.
"I'm not letting you die, Luffy-ya, I don't care what that means, you won't die here!"
"Torao why are you being such a bastard!?" Luffy growled.
"Because I love you!" Law snapped. Law swapped himself and Luffy for some rocks to get them away from the rest of the strawhats. Law closed the room as soon as they were away.
"Torao!" Luffy growled, he punched Law but it was feeble. Luffy started hacking up blood again. He got to his feet.
"I'll fight you if I have to Torao, you won't do that!" Luffy insisted.
"You couldn't even fight a blade of grass right now," Law pointed out.
"I don't care!" Luffy screamed.
Law drew his sword and pointed at Luffy.
"Nico-ya was right," Law said. "Pirate Alliances end in betrayal."
"Room!"
"TORAO NO!" Luffy screamed.
Law could hear Zoro coming around the corner.
"Law!" Zoro shouted. But it was too late, Law did what he had to do. He could feel Zoro's blade on his back but it didn't matter. Law fell to the ground and his room collapsed.
"Torao! You stupid bastard, wake up!" Luffy shouted he straddled Law's body and pulled his jacket into his first.
"Torao!" Luffy's voice cracked. He could feel it though. His body didn't ache anymore. He had a lot more energy than he did before. "What about your crew!? God damn it TORAO!"
Luffy got to his feet. "DAMN IT, DAMN IT!" Luffy shouted out fo frustration, he paced back and forth, trying to fight the tears in his eyes. Law wasn't supposed to die.
This wasn't supposed to happen again.

Merry Christmas Chopper
Time flows differently at sea, especially on the Grand Line: the weather in this part of the world never followed the ordinary calendar people had outside the ocean, so a blizzard in the middle of the summer wouldn’t surprise anyone. The climate depended on the island itself, and the inhabitants stuck to their specific routine maintained throughout the years: the holidays of the Fish-Men didn’t coincide with those of the Minks thus a lucky traveler may get a chance to become acquainted with rituals and traditions of all races.
The Straw Hat Pirates had already seen a lot. That’s why Nami yearning for Christmas she last celebrated a couple of years ago, made sure that the ship steered for another Winter Island and then ordered to throw a real party. Initially, only two latched on the idea: Sanji who agreed to do anything offered by Nami, and Robin, as usual peacefully calm, whose multiple hands immediately embarked to festoon Sunny. Luffy seemed to worried about one thing only – whether they were going to have meat; Zoro followed his Captain’s suit and asked about drinks – again, following Luffy’s suit, he got punched in the head and crawled away with gloomy grumbling. As a result of the powerful blow, the swordsman deigned to hang a garland over his mat on the deck. Sanji waspishly advised not to remove it in the future in order to define the borders of the improvised botanical garden and what is the vantage point to feast the eyes upon the ugliest plant.
While Brook, Usopp and Franky were trying to part the fighters to the rippling laughter of their Captain, Chopper took advantage of the common turmoil and ran over to Nami. He had first-hand knowledge of Christmas: as resident of a Winter Island, he often celebrated the holiday. Even when other reindeer atrociously lambasted him, he kept believing in miracles and never doubted Santa and his presents. However, the presents weren’t the main concern: absolutely unspoiled, he was waiting for some other guest – the red-nosed reindeer, Rudolph, who was claimed to have been mocked himself. Since childhood he swore he would stay up till morning to see Santa and his famous sleigh; he was sure he would talk to Rudolph in the animal language asking how he managed to take the lead, to turn his flaw into an assert and to overcome the sneers. Unfortunately, Chopper kept falling asleep – and woke up with bitter frustration written upon the snout. Later in the morning he disappeared in his lab and crammed another book borrowed from shrewd Kureha who unexpectedly failed to grasp what ate him away every winter so desperately.
Nami wasn’t paying attention to the skirmish between the cook and the swordsman: she continued decorating her tangerine trees and enlaced the boughs with colored garlands even though they hadn’t yet reach the island.
“Nami,” Chopped called in a low voice awkwardly tapping his hooves against each other and snuffling, “Is… Santa coming to us?”
Puzzled by the question, the navigator nodded.
“Of course, Chopper. Santa comes to all good kids… and adults. To the bad ones too,” she narrowed her eyes, pursed her lips and slowly turned her head in the direction of the bickering friends. “But there is not enough coal for those in the whole world. It’s easier to send them to a mine.”
“Are there deer, too?” he went on, still meek and at the same time more enthusiastic. “Or is he traveling by ship? He can’t get here by his sleigh, right?..”
Nami looked at him, clearly perplexed: she wasn’t ready for such questions; practically deprived of childhood herself, she never had illusions as to Santa’s personality but the girl didn’t venture to shatter her friend’s faith in this mythological figure. To her Christmas was a day when she could finally express her gratitude and affection towards all the crew members (and to get a nice present for her outstanding navigation skills) but for Chopper it was an evening of miracles and didn’t want to wreck it all.
“Doctor-san,” Robin suddenly came to rescue with her low voice pierced with confidence, “his sleigh runs across the sky, not by the sea. Why would he need a ship if it is safer to travel above multiple dangers of the Grand Line?”
The archeologist’s words mollified the reindeer: his large woeful eyes beamed in a heartbeat. If Nami was able to fib a little, Robin would rather remain silent or elude.
“Don’t you happen to know,” Chopper hesitated for another moment rattling his hooves again, “when is he coming? I would… I would love to just have a peep… at Rudolph. I heard that he was… different from others. Just like me. But I have a blue nose…”
Even if Robin was taken aback, she didn’t reveal her astonishment in the slightest: her face remained serene and tranquil. With a small apologetic smile upon the lips, the woman shook her head and adorned his tiny antlers with a garland interwoven with a sparkling tinsel.
“Unfortunately, Doctor-san, I cannot give you a proper answer to that. The number of good kids changes from year to year, and he has to pay a visit to them all. But I am certain this time he will stay a little longer: after all, you have done so many good things that you deserve a special present.”
Encouraged by the praise, Chopper was about to start dancing: the reindeer still couldn’t get used to the fact that he was genuinely loved and cherished even though aloof and unsociable Law tended to commend him every once in a while. And if Nami expressed her emotions in quite a ribald way, Robin tried to find the right approach to everyone not resorting to punches and manipulations – even a rejection didn’t sound adamant though her voice was always firm.
“Then,” the doctor scratched his blue nose, “If you see him… can you please wake me up? I promise not to fall asleep but,” here he got embarrassed completely, “Every year I just pass out and… I would love to…”
“Of course Doctor-san,” Robin interrupted him soflty, “We’ll be on guard.”
“Don’t worry Chopper,” Nami bolstered her friend, “A mouse won’t slip by Zoro, let alone an old man with a flock of deer. We’ll take care of it!”
As soon as their inspired friend rushed to his little laboratory equipped with all the necessary things for his endless experiments, Nami crossed her arms in the chest staring at Robin with a suspicious grimace on the visage.
“I certainly love your idea,” she muttered in a low voice, “But what is that you suggest us doing? We cannot steal a deer, put a red nose on it and introduce it as Rudolph. I couldn’t even think that he’s so…”
“Flustered? Excited? This is quite obvious,” the woman adjusted a glossy purple ball on the tangerine branch so its ribbon didn’t cover the image. “He doesn’t really have someone… to share his experience with. Whether we want it or not, we… do not fully understand him.”
“So what are we supposed to do? To turn ourselves into deer?” said Nami sarcastically. “Can’t even imagine myself… this way. I’m no doe. What kind of doe… would I be?..”
“The most beautiful doe in the world, Nami-swan! You will be the most charming female deer in th–”
Robin chuckled: Sanji didn’t manage to accomplish his laudatory ode as he got maimed which nonetheless failed to cool him down.
“You’re just in time, Sanji-kun,” the woman smiled thus provoking another bout of jitter. “Do you know the legend about Rudolph the Deer?”
Soon enough the whole crew began to arrange the Christmas party for Chopper. Nami, as usual, was in charge: she succeeded to draw attention to the discussion by heavy blows and threatening stares while Robin put forward various proposals that seemed suitable. Luffy only comprehended that Chopper ‘had some wrong Christmas’ and offered to pile the deer with presents but the idea implying a thousand of meat dishes didn’t sit well with the rest of the crew. Zoro supported his Captain on the topic of presents but added on his own behalf: let the swirlybrow make a present to them all by locking himself up in the kitchen throughout the celebration. Sanji pledged to cut the swordsman in pieces and feed seagulls, deprecated. Brook proposed to compose a song – and Robin’s hands writing down more or less reasonable suggestions, started jotting something in her notebook.
“Why not write him a letter?” exclaimed Usopp out of the blue. “It won’t replace Rudolph of course but… at least we will show we care about him.”
“And then he’ll eventually understand that Marimo is a good-for-nothing sentinel who hasn’t heard the thud of the hooves,” Sanji noticed melancholically, lighting another cigarette. “What a remarkably useless plant. Shall we toss it overboard?”
“I don’t need my swords to beat the shit out of you,” hissed Zoro flaring up. “Damn you, ero-cook!..”
It didn’t take much time to put things in apple pie order and reassert the breached discipline: Nami scattered the two in different directions, and both the swordsman and the cook rubbed their heads and squabbled in hushed voices not to instigate the navigator who seemed to like Usopp’s offer.
The preparations lasted for the whole day: Robin sneaked into the farthest corner of the deck to write the letter; Sanji wearing a funny apron garnished the desserts with cotton candy. As for Zoro, he had risked to get a carver knife between the eyes and now imitated some frenzied activity – according to the cook, it was ‘frenzied enough to outshine the quickest algae drifting with the stream’. Brook, laughing, was playing a song by ear while Usopp was wrapping the presents. Nami kept things tidy: she prevented Luffy from pushing his nose into every single box he saw. Franky, though, took care of it himself: he had cut out several wooden boxes for various trinkets. Now he improved his invention and fit locks into them – exclusively by the navigator’s request so eager to keep the spirit of Christmas. Albeit none of the tasks looked hard to finish, they appeared to be time-consuming, so none of the pirated noticed when and how the warm climate gave way to pleasant frost and slight snowfall.
Chopper went out to the deck only in the evening and started perusing snowflakes, so brittle and peculiar that they seemed to be knitted. They sank into his auburn fur and didn’t melt at all as if they morphed into a scintillating garland. Back at home they looked less fragile and yet bigger; accustomed to blizzards and cold, he learnt to ignore them and now, after all those visits to hot countries, a simply snowstorms morphed into a hibernal miracle.
He remembered the first time he saw himself in the reflection of the frozen river. He remembered his resentment for himself, that blue nose, and roared smashing whatever he could smash. He remembered how he nuzzled into white and fluffy snow hoping that the color of the nose would alter, and he, Chopper, would be just like others.
He also recollected the frosty redolence Hululuk’s fur coat exuded; he recalled Kureha’s perfume mingled with the fragrance of the wind. Her hands were always tender and smelled ice while Hululuk reminded him of the first snowflakes’ scent. It dawned upon him how much he actually could reminisce: that cheerful laughter, ridiculous stories the Doctor used to tell, and those midnight talks – they spoke about everything in the world. It was almost eternity ago when Chopper lost his best friend – and they still had so much to discuss. Hiluluk always supported him, and, probably in his own manner, taught the little reindeer to keep his head up.
“Merry Christmas,” a familiar gentle voice came; Chopper sharply turned in the direction of the sound and instantly noticed a figure he knew so well: it was a tad shorter than he remembered and moved angularly but the kind smile and warm eyes made everything clear. It was exactly the person who encouraged Chopper to become a doctor.
“Doctor Hiluluk!” the reindeer darted towards the man feeling he was barely able to squelch the tears that were about gush out from the eyes. “Doctor Hiluluk!.. How did you..? You are...”
The intruder laughed in a low tone and embraced his friend caringly.
“You’ve become so big and strong,” the doctor patted Chopper by the shoulder, “Are you happy with them?.. I’ve heard a lot about you, Chopper. I am exceedingly proud of you. You have become a talented physician. You are definitely second to none.”
The little reindeer didn’t release his friend – and almost ignored the praise. Millions of questions were swarming in his head but he didn’t hurry to ask them. Hiluluk didn’t insist on a decent conversation: he kept smiling looking at the reindeer cursing himself for the cruelty he had shown in the past. How could throw him out sugarcoating his atrocity and calling it care? Why didn’t he tell the truth letting Chopper make his own decision whether to stick around or to deal with his own life? Yes, that notorious quack felt ashamed and couldn’t disappoint his friend, but at the moment, after all those years, he finally realized that it may have been the only blunder he regretted so much. If he could turn back time, nothing of it would have happened.
“They do love you,” the guest drawled squatting before Chopper. “And protect you too. I am glad to know that you have found a family… despite everything. I am so sorry that I cannot be near.”
“But you are here!” the reindeer exclaimed blinking his watery eyes. “I’ll introduce you to my nakamas. They’ll like, I assure you! Sanji will cook the pies you are so fond of, Brook will sing for you, you’ll talk to Robin and–”
With a sad smile on the lips Hiluluk shook his head.
“Alas, it won’t do.” He sighed heavily. “You have a different life now… But,” he straightened up, “I have a little surprise for you, Chopper. I know who you are waiting for. Unfortunately, he cannot…”
Robin’s soft hand touched the glossy fur. Flummoxed, Nami noticed that Chopper finally awoke and placed a small box near the adoze reindeer: it was different from those that Franky had created. This one had incised ornaments and a carving of a certain mushroom on the lid. Still sleepy, Chopper kept staring at the present: did someone do that specifically for him?
“Open it, Doctor-san. This undoubtedly belongs to you.”
Robin’s honeyed mellow voice seemed to have pushed him, and the little hooves lifted the lid. Inside, there was a handful of pink powder – the same powder his friend had been working on, – and a letter with a stamp of a deer hoof. The whole crew gathered around: Usopp failed to wake him up, and panicked alarming the rest – even Zoro, normally apathetic and detached, scowled and rushed to rescue.
The whole ship was emblazoned and festooned. Nami had cleared the place underneath her tangerines, and now neatly wrapped presents were peacefully lying there revealing the cards written in Usopp’s and Franky’s untidy yet diligent hands. Sanji was serving cocoa with little cloud of marshmallow. Exclusively for Chopper he had created rosy petals of cotton candy. Robin, normally calm, adjusted bows, knots and decorations striving to make everything look like a picture. The evergreen lawn where the crew used to sprawl and relax, turned white: no one even tried to get rid of the glistening snow which reflected all Sunny’s embers and glimmers.
“Merry Christmas, Chopper,” Nami flashed him a broad smile.
“Merry Christmas!” shouted both Zoro and Sanji and looked daggers at each other.
“Su-u-u-u-u-u-per-r-r-r-r Christmas!” Franky struck a pose raising both his arms in the air.
“Mefwy Fuwissmas!” pronounced Luffy proudly munching on the ham he’d just stolen from the kitchen. A sound of Sanji’s powerful kick muffled another sentence he was about to utter.
“We love you, Chopper!” candidly declared Usopp.
“Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho!.. Merry Christmas, Chopper-san. Thank you for suturing our wounds! Though… yo-ho-ho… I don’t have skin to be sutured! Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho!”
The little reindeer sniveled. Probably he should let his past go – to let it get dispersed in a blur of pink petals.

Midnight dip
This is for the ZoNami event on Tumblr. A huge thank you to Zonamievents, Evilishei and Tali-workshop for organising this.
There’s actually a prequel to this that I have planned, not related to the prompts or event but within the same ‘universe’ at this. I wanted to write that first, but I actually want to post on time for an event for once.
Also, I’m British, so this is going to follow the British education system. It doesn’t’ really matter for this that much though; think it’ll affect the prequel more.
Summary: Because a game of dare or double dare was never going to end well. ZoNami. University AU.  Rating: M. Gets a bit explicit towards the end... 
Can also be found on AO3 and FFN. 
@zonamievents
Enjoy!
It had all started as a bit of fun.
It was a late Friday night and they were all huddled in Usopp’s dorm room playing a game of truth or dare spin the bottle. Except the truth option had been thrown out the window immediately. Luffy had stated they’d all been friends long enough to know each other’s darkest truths so it wouldn’t be exciting. Instead it had been changed to dare or double dare spin the bottle.
Foolishly, they’d all agreed.
So far, it had all been fairly childish. Poor Chopper had to drink a glass of salted milk, Luffy had to do the worm across the floor and Sanji was made to trade shirts with Zoro. Something that had sent the whole group into fits, Zoro’s top on Sanji was fine, even if it did drown Sanji and sent him into a fit of rage. But Sanji’s shirt on Zoro? Zoro couldn’t exhale fully after being forced to button it all the way up and even then, the buttons strained, and the sleeves cut into his arms.
And it had carried on that way until the last dare. The mood in the room changed instantly.
Brook had just dared Franky to streak across campus. It was clear between them all that the childish dares were over.
Franky, to his credit, had barely made a fuss and instead took to discussing the technicalities of the dare. It was easy to say Franky wasn’t ashamed of his body, probably a bit too proud of it if anything. Each of them, at one point or another, had walked into Franky strutting about in just his underwear and, in some cases, more than once.
So they all ran to the window and crowded around it to watch from above as Franky stripped off below in the dark and took off across the green. He hollered whilst whipping his underwear around in circles above his head to draw even more attention to himself, not even bothering to cover his privates. Students that were still out jeered and cat called, which only fuelled the PhD student into making even more of a spectacle.
Ten minutes later and they were clapping as he walked through the door. It would be rude not to, Franky had truly gone above and beyond. He laughed and bowed before he sat back down next to Robin.
It was Usopp’s turn to spin the bottle next and everyone fell silent again, jitters filling the air as the bar had just be raised. Nami was trying to will it not to fall on her, she’d already gone earlier in the game and had to hug Sanji. Bless Chopper, his dares weren’t the best, but he’d really tried, and even she knew she’d had an easy pass.
But now. Now she was nervous.
Everyone watched with bated breath as it spun, and her stomach dropped as she watched it slow down, closing in on her. It wobbled and then stopped, aimed at her.
She desperately tried to keep a poker face and pretend to be unbothered that it’d landed on her, but that was hard to do when Usopp had such a vicious twinkle in his eye. She tried to keep calm because really, what could be worse than streaking?
“You have to go skinny dipping,” Usopp said deviously, his face filled with mirth.  
“What?!” She said, appalled at the suggestion.
“And take Zoro, he’s got uncanny luck with this,” Usopp added casually, jabbing his thumb towards the man seated next to her. It was true, so far, the bottle hadn’t landed on Zoro and he hadn’t had to complete a single dare. The top switching had been Sanji’s dare that he’d been dragged into. Even if it still felt like punishment.
“Oi, why am I being dragged into this?” Zoro argued, arms crossed despite the shirt’s protests.
“You’re her boyfriend and you’ll make sure she’ll actually do it.”
“Robin didn’t have to streak with Franky and they’re together!” Nami had no idea why she was trying to wiggle Zoro out of this instead of herself, but it’s really all she had right now.
“Robin’s already had her own dare and Zoro’s a man of his word. He knew the rules upon entering and I have no doubt he’ll see it through.”
Goddamn Usopp’s flawless logic. She was going to strangle him after all of this.
“Also, Zoro’s good for protection,” Robin chimed in. “Late night skinny dipping isn’t safe for a woman alone, unfortunately.”
Zoro frowned at their reasoning and Nami knew he was mulling it over. He was going to cave. That traitor.
Usopp intervened before Nami could protest any further. “Of course, if you don’t want to do that, there’s always the double dare option.” Usopp’s eyes strayed to Sanji as he said that and Nami was flabbergasted at her best friend’s cunning. They’d definitely spent too much time together.
She grit her teeth, knowing she’d run out of options but refused to back down and Usopp met her gaze unwaveringly, the smirk challenging her to take the double dare instead.
The nail in the coffin was when Sanji threw his arm into the air and spoke up, “I volunteer to go with Nami!”
Zoro was on his feet and pulling Nami out of the door before anyone could chime in, Usopp shouting behind them it had to be at least half an hour.
.
.
.
“This is so stupid!” Nami hissed as they walked towards the indoor pool located across campus. It’d be long closed by now, so not only did they have to swim naked but also break in.
“I know, but we agreed to play so we have to see it through,” Zoro said firmly, not budging.
“Come on Zoro, no one will know if we don’t do it. We can just go shower with our clothes on and go back.”
Zoro seemed to contemplate that and for a moment, she thought she’d won him over. It was a good idea after all.
Until, “Franky didn’t get that option.”
So close.
“Franky’s an idiot for not thinking of it!” Even if his dare had been hilarious, it’s not her fault he’s eager to show off his body.
“What are you really worried about?” He was eyeing her critically and she knew she was busted. There was no point lying, he’d see straight through her.
Head low, she murmured under her breath.
He stopped walking and turned to her. “What?”
“It’s embarrassing!” She blurted, face starting to colour at the admission.
Zoro looked confused. “Nami, I’ve seen you naked before. How is this any different?”
That didn’t help the flush on her face. “Because it’s out in the open and what if we get caught?”
“You’re with me, we’re not getting caught and after all the other stupid stuff we’ve done, this isn’t that big.” He caught her hand and pulled slightly to get her to walk again.
It was true though. Their group was notorious around campus for their hijinks, although Nami would argue it’s all Luffy’s fault. Even though she definitely started that fight at the last party they’d thrown.
Zoro sighed. “I’m sure you can weasel your way into charging Usopp for this.”
“Oh! You’re a genius Zoro, you’re absolutely right, I can!” She gave him a swift kiss of the cheek and started skipping, enthused at the idea and now pulling him along instead.
.
.
.
Her enthusiasm died a death when the swimming pool building came into view, but she didn’t have much time to think about it as Zoro hurried her along to the back door of the building. It was a balmy night already but the thought of what she was about to do only made them sweat more.
“This is so stupid,” Nami grumbled under her breath, she gained nothing from this other than humiliation.
“Quit you’re whining and hurry up before we get spotted!” His back towards her and his eye trained on the landscape around them.
She heard the last click and the door slowly creeped open.
They both agreed to keep the lights switched off to avoid drawing attention, the moonlight filtering in through the large glass windows was enough to illuminate the room and the swimming pool twinkled back at them. It would almost be romantic if they hadn’t just broken in and were about to strip naked to fulfil a dare from their stupid friend.
If the atmosphere was awkward when they entered, Zoro either wasn’t aware or paying attention to it as he casually stripped. But Nami was and her eyes tore away from him as he dropped the last piece of clothing on his body, instead trying to focus on the belt around her hips. He’d did it with such ease and yet she was still fully dressed. Somehow that made this even worse.
Behind her, Zoro rolled his eye, taking in the still clothed form of his girlfriend.
“I actually wanted to go to the gym in the morning,” He whispered into her ear, having crept up behind her.
She jumped, but kept her voice level, “No one’s stopping you.”
“You are if you don’t hurry up.” His hands slid over hers, making quick work of her belt and letting it fall to the floor, then moving on to her skirt. “But I have no qualms with helping you.”
Goosebumps erupted along her arms when he said that, his breath hot on her neck and she briefly wondered if he was trying to get her to relax. If he was, it was working as she felt their normal banter coming to the surface.
“Oh, how chivalrous of you,” amusement in her tone as she turned around to face him. Her hands gripped the bottom of her top to pull it over her head and his shortly after found the clasp of her bra to join her top on the floor.
“There we go, that wasn’t so hard, was it?” He looked far too pleased with himself and before she could question it, he was bending down, his arms wrapping around her bare legs to heave her up on his shoulder.
“Ready?” And his body was turning towards the pool and she swore when she looked over his shoulder at the pool it twinkled ominously at her.
Oh, god no. She knew exactly what this meant.
“Wait, no, Zoro! Let me down!” She screeched, her hands smacking at his back. She wasn’t worried about him dropping her, but she wanted to do this with some grace at least.
But her pleas fell on deaf ears as he started running towards the pool.
“No, Zoro-” She tried again but was cut off by him
“Hold your breath.”
And suddenly he was jumping, his arms tightening around her. She managed to hold her breath just in time as they met the freezing water.
It was only a second underwater before Zoro was pushing them back up to the surface and he adjusted her so that she was no longer hanging over his shoulder.
“You idiot,” she spluttered, her hands furiously trying to push her hair away from her face and keep her balance. She could only imagine how many tangles would be in it after this.
It seemed he hadn’t heard her; his head was thrown back and his laugh echoed around the empty building. No doubt at her bedraggled appearance but she couldn’t find it in herself to be angry with him. They’d both been stressed lately; University was only getter harder as the years went on and it’d been a while since she’d truly seen him so relaxed. But that didn’t mean she’d let him get away with it. She removed one hand from his shoulder to splash water at his face.
“Oi, that went in my mouth!” He’d stopped laughing now, but there was still humour in his voice.
“Serves you right, enjoy chlorine and pee!” It was her turn to laugh at his disgruntled face, but it didn’t last long when a smirk crawled across his face.
Nami didn’t like that look and suddenly she was pushing away from his body to swim away in fear of retribution. She didn’t get far when he caught her foot to drag her back towards him and the room was filled with her giggles as she glided across the water.
The fact that they were naked, in a pool late at night after illegally breaking in slipped from their minds as they started to mess around. Both splashing water at each other, Zoro carrying Nami around the pool on his back and having mini races across the length of the pool, as they completely lost themselves to the moment. They were either unaware or didn’t care that they’d been in the pool well over half an hour.
They calmed down shortly afterwards and as Nami took in the sight of Zoro laid on his back, floating as he looked up at the ceiling, she realised how silly she’d been. What had she even been nervous for? It was Zoro, for god sake. She’d known him for so many years, that of course if he was here it’d be fine.
Following his lead, she turned on her back to float towards the ceiling and somehow managed to bump into him, the water gliding her towards him.
“This is nice,” she said softly, reaching for his hand so she didn’t float away.
“See, told you it’d be okay.” His hand gripped hers back.
“Yeah, yeah, enjoy your one moment.” Nami rolled her eyes at him, not that he could see that. “The view’s pretty good too.” And her gaze left the ceiling to flit over his body before coyly smirking at him when he turned to look back at her.
He matched her expression, his gaze tracing a similar path over her body. “Yeah, have to agree with you there,” he responded lowly.
Gone was the serene atmosphere, instead replaced with something heavier when Zoro’s eye flitted down to her lips again but it was Nami who drew in closer to seal their lips together. The angle was slightly awkward, until he stood up to walk closer to her and bring her in. She followed his lead and the new position meant she could slant their lips together and drape her arms over his broad shoulders.
His hands slid along her waist and encouraged her to press even closer until their chests were pressed together. When her tongue swept across his bottom lip, his hands smoothed along her body to her behind and she took the initiative to wrap her legs around his waist.
The new position raised her slightly and when Zoro was finished exploring her mouth, he left her lips to trail kisses down her neck, his teeth nipping along the way. She moaned, her hands threading through his hair to keep him pressed against her neck and ground her hips against him. He groaned back and started walking them towards the shallower section of the pool where he sat her on the edge and stood between her parted legs.
She could feel him hard and pressed up against her thigh and when his thumb brushed against her nipple, she rolled her hips against him.
“Eager?” She could feel him smirking against her neck.
“And you aren’t?” To prove her point, she rolled her hips again and felt the hand clutching at her hip dig in slightly.
One of her hands left his hair to travel between his legs to grip his cock and she nipped at his lip before whispering in his ear, “Come on Zoro, you said it yourself, you don’t have all night.”
That seemed to get him moving. Their next kiss was bruising, lips hurriedly moving against the others as he rolled his hips into hers and just as she was about to say something else, his hand was teasing her lips between her legs. It may not have been exactly what she was after, but it was something. She moaned against his lips and rolled her hips into his fingers, hands pulling at his hair to anchor herself to something.
He groaned back when he felt how wet she was and that seemed to be the thing that pushed him over the edge, his hand moved from between her legs to grab her hips and bring her closer. One hand kept her close whilst he used his other to line himself up with her but suddenly stilled and she groaned in frustration when he didn’t push into her like she expected.
His palm covered her mouth and he was no longer looking at her, looking to the side and concentrated on the sounds around them. She stilled, going stiff at his sudden shift in demeanour and tried to listen for anything new.
In the distance they heard a quiet, “Hello? Is someone here?” and the lights in the corridor leading to the main door to the swimming pool flicked on.
Nami could feel the colour draining from her face as she looked in horror towards the main door.
That threw cold water on the mood.
“Oh shit! Move, move!” Zoro harshly whispered, pushing her legs out of the water before hurriedly pulling himself out of the pool. He was grabbing at her hand to pull her to her feet once he was out and that seemed to get her moving.
They both ran around trying to find their clothes, throwing pieces they’d picked up that weren’t theirs to the other and frantically dressing so they were at least somewhat decent before they went outside. Zoro finished before her and pushed her shaking hands away to finish buttoning up her skirt, throwing her belt over his shoulder.
“Wait, Zoro, where’s my-”
But he didn’t stop to listen, his hands urgently pushing her towards the door they’d come through as he eyed the other door where the lights had just turned on.
They’d just made it outside and up the little hill behind some bushes when the main lights to the pool flicked on, the person walking around inquisitively.
“Zoro-,” Nami whispered next to him.
“Shh, not now. I wonder if they’re going to come out here?” He whispered back, eye trained on the room, watching the person walk around.
“Zoro,” Nami whispered harshly, unamused at being ignored and interrupted, “Give me my underwear.”
That finally caught his attention. He turned to look at her in surprise. “Huh? I don’t have your underwear?”
“What?! But I saw you pick up something?”
And Zoro raised his hand to show his own underwear, not hers.
“Then…If you don’t have it…”
And their heads snapped back to watch the person cautiously walking around the swimming pool and stopped at the small pile of fabric on the floor.
Nami’s underwear.
The person poked at it and as soon as they identified what it was, shook their head and pinched it between their fingers before dumping it into the bin.
“That was my nicest pair, I have a matching bra!” Nami bemoaned and briefly, she wondered if she’d be able to break in again to steal it back.
“There’s no way you’re going back for them.” Damn it, Zoro knew her too well.
“You owe me a new thong! You have no idea how expensive that was,” Nami said venomously.
“You can’t be serious? How is this my fault?” He argued back.
“Had enough time to pick up your underwear I see?” She raised an eyebrow at the boxers in his hands. The absolute insult, they were so cheap and came from the supermarket. Honestly, he had no taste.
He spluttered back at her. “You didn’t say anything!”
“I tried to, but you pushed me.”
“Did you want to get caught standing commando discussing your underwear?”
Nami huffed but had to admit he was right. Begrudgingly.
“Let’s go, I’m getting a draft,” Nami sighed, mourning the loss, there was no getting them back now.
He barked a laugh behind her but followed, keeping low until they were far away from the building and on their way back to her dorm room. The game of dare or double dare long forgotten.
The next day, no one mentioned the email the whole student body received, warning them all about the repercussions of breaking into locked buildings or having private swimming lessons late at night.

Nothing brings me more joy than cockblocking my OTPs and pretending security cameras don’t exist.

Ace
Raging flames.
That is all that can be seen when a bystander passes the three of you in the streets on an island.
Ace is standing in front of you, keeping you behind him in a protective stance as his jaw and fists are clenched tightly, flames erupting from his body.
And the unconscious body of your ex lying down on the floor.
-
You and Ace were just exploring a new island the Whitebeard Pirates docked at, Marco picking up some medical supplies and a few others just seeing what they could find.
The two of you strayed off and stuck with each other to go sight-seeing, and unfortunately..
This happened to be the same island your ex lives.
And so when you two are walking and you hear an all too familiar voice, your blood runs cold.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t little [Name]. Come back for more?”
Ace would be so confused and just glances back at the male who walks up behind you. “Do you know this guy, [Name]?”
“Who’s this? Your new boyfriend? Doesn’t look all that great to me.”
You bite down on your tongue to prevent yourself from saying anything but Ace can immediately sense something is wrong when he feels your grip on his hand tightening.
“Cat got your tongue? I bet you are speechless. You must be thinking to yourself, how you could go after some worthless guy like him and perhaps come back to me, begging me to take you back.” The condescending laugh is heard as he smirks at you.
Ace’s sharp glare is immediately sent to your ex and flames are slowly building with each passing second.
“If you do beg me, I may or may not consider it. It depends on how low you go down on your knees for me. But then again, I might have to reject you just so I can admire your horrendous face full of fear and sadness as you wallow in regret for—“
You were too busy looking down and feeling yourself shrink at his words to even notice Ace had pulled away from you.
And at a distance he stood, towering over your ex with pure hatred and anger burning in his eyes, with his fist in flames.
“Shut up. If you ever even look in [Name]’s direction again, I won’t hesitate to burn you to hell.”
Anger quickly subsided as Ace turns from the unconscious male and faces you with pure worry and concern.
“Hey, are you okay?”
All you could do was stare in shock, unable to process anything that happened as Ace takes your hands in his and brings it to his face.
“Don’t listen to a word he said, okay? Come on. Let’s go get some ice cream before heading back to the ship.”
-
Mihawk
“[Name]? What the hell are you doing here?”
The all too familiar voice makes your eyes widen out of its sockets, stopping you in your tracks from wandering the halls of Mariejois.
Turning back to face the one you least expected and absolutely dreaded most, color drained from your face when you finally came face to face to your ex.
“[Ex Name].. I didn’t realize you’re stationed here.. how are the other marines?” You try to make some light conversation but just wanted to eagerly run away.
The male only scoffs and rolls his eyes. “Better now that you’re gone, I’ll admit. Now why the hell are you here?”
“Actually..-“
“And why is that any of your business?”
Hearing the new voice cut in, your ex scoffs and turns to face the owner before his eyes widens.
“A warlord?! What are you doing out here? Whatever! Just get out of here, you pirate! This doesn’t concern you!”
Mihawk exhales quietly in disappointment, clearly becoming annoyed at the male’s loud and head-aching yells.
Making his way over to you, Mihawk gently grabs your hands in his. “Is this man bothering you, mi amor?”
Glancing to the shocked expression of your ex, you have a shy nod. “H-He’s my ex..” you mumble out, rubbing the back of your head as you grasp his hand tightly.
“I see.” Mihawk nods in understanding before closing his eyes and turned to face the marine, who was recovering from shock.
“Y-You?! Dating her?” He let out a dramatic scoff. “Of course you’d go after a pirate. It’s such a disappointment to see you stray from the Navy, [Name]. But whatever, you’re just— AGH!”
“That’s enough out of you now.”
Wielding his smallest sword, the mini cross that hung around his neck in a necklace, Mihawk gave one slice into the air before the loud cry of pain was heard.
Staring down at the fallen marine, he looks unimpressed at the lack of strength shown and how easily the marine fell from just a measly swing of his arm.
“Don’t you ever dare to utter a word or mind a thought about my [Name]. Otherwise I’ll have you buried six feet underground. Is that understood?”
Slipping his cross back together into his necklace, he turns over to your with his lips in a firm line but his expression softened in the slightest.
“Let’s go, my dear. We’re done here.”
Bringing his hand to the dip of your back, he began to guide you out of the large palace to head back to his castle and perhaps enjoy a nice evening together with some wine.

Zoro
Zoro may not be the smartest, but he certainly picks up on certain behavioral cues, especially yours after having been together for so long.
So when the Sunny is sailing the seas and come across another pirate ship, which causes Luffy to seek after them to converse and greet them.
At first, everything’s alright, the Pirates were somewhat friendly like the Straw Hats, until the Captain goes to board the Straw Hat ship, to personally greet each member.
But when the captain goes by you, his kind smile is immediately dropped to one of a frown of distaste. “[Name].”
You couldn’t even express how you felt. Shock? Misery? Pain? Disbelief? Were you usually this unlucky to have to come across your ex like this? How could you not recognize the Jolly Roger of the ship?
His next words seem to snap you back from your thoughts. “Blanking and zoning out once again. I see you haven’t changed much, [Name].” He tuts, shaking his head and turns away dramatically.
“It’s a shame you can never grow. Still the same old, same old. It’s truly a shame.”
Biting your lip, you look away and took a step back, ignoring him as the others watch with confusion.
“Eh? How do you know this guy, [Name]?” Nami asks, tilting her head.
Zoro, who was resting against the mast and listening to everything, opens his eye to glance at you. He clearly noticed your discomfort and pained expression, but withheld from doing anything.
His eyes only drifted to the cause of your discomfort.
The others weren’t too sure how to react, only sensing that something happened between the two of you. With the tension in the air, even Luffy could tell.
It wasn’t until his next words that something in them all snapped.
“Honestly, you’re better off having just stayed in your pathetic lonely life at your small island. This pirate life is not meant for you. After all,”
Eyes boring right into your soul, his stare pierced your body and his words pierced your heart.
“No one wants a pathetic and useless weakling around, right?”
Mere seconds later, the Captain, your ex, was knocked right into the railing of the ship, successfully denting the wood and breaking the pieces off with the amount of force brought into the impact.
Your ex was laying there, shifting in and out of consciousness and blood dripped from cuts over his body.
Zoro, with a hand gripping Shusui, was standing in front of the crew, no one even flinched at the movement but you. Your eyes were widened in shock, unable to say a word.
“I’ll have you know, [Name] is nothing like that. She’s grown, a hundred times stronger than you and I will make sure to kick your ass if I ever hear her name come out of your lips again.”
The other straw hats were all watching with heavy glares piercing the opposing pirate ship and specifically the Captain, each member getting ready to attack as needed.
“Get the hell off my ship, now.” Luffy demands, his voice cold, quiet and the most intimidating stare that would even make an Emperor tremble.
It didn’t take long for the opposing crew to pick up their captain and flee in a panic, especially when Luffy cracked his knuckles.
Releasing a small breath of relief you didn’t even know you were holding, you felt someone dragging you away from the deck and the crew, and you look up to find Zoro.
Finding that he was pulling you to the bedroom, he forces you over to the bed and then pulls you on top of him when he laid down.
“Just sleep with me. Forget everything he said and everything that happened.”
-
A/N : I hope you liked this, and I apologize you have to deal with that. So sorry this took so long.
I might allow emergency requests, it depends, I’ve never seen too much of it. I hope everything’s okay though.

{I was reading this other fic & I really like the idea of the reader getting pushed down to thinking their not good enough for the anime character then they run off later on get encourage words from their friends, I really loved it so I tried it with one of my long time OC character}
***
Zoro x OC (Zay)
Humans were disgusting in every way possible. It was a normal thought for Zay a demon and literally only himself.
Of course, there were some humans who could regain his mind to morals and right ways, but then again…
Luffy a silly childish Captain, and a overpowered rubber man the strongest on the crew, the childlike boy was able to make him join the straw hats
Most of the crew where normal well maybe, not counting the devil fruit users
Zay a demon.
Franky is half cyborg not normal, Sanji is basically human?
Nami I don't know that woman can rob you faster than you could say "Fuck!"
Usopp... I don't think a long nose like that can be counted as normal
And then there was Zoro. He is 100% pretty much human...
 Well maybe?
In other words, this man was unbelievably attractive. With his sexy body and the way he train none stop letting sweat drop from his well built chest and abs, it made Zay's heart beat out of his chest getting all Sanji-like.
Well maybe only in Zay's eyes.
Zay has the most attractive boyfriend in exsistins. But sometimes, not so much could be said the same for Zoro's personality.
When Zay asked Zoro to be with him, it came as a surprise, he didn't have any talent he has a shitty personality and well his looks... well?
Zay is a tall man about same as Sanji's height, His whole body is covered in bandages which are used to hide his burned skin. With his short black hair and his sharp yellow eyes.
In the end Zoro said yes.
It was a normal hot summer day, on a summer island the straw hat crew decided to dock at, the whole island just being a tavern where by passers can stop to restock booze or sit back and relax with thier own BBQ near the tavern.
The hot sun high in the sky the tavern was stopped out on a small hill near the ocean waters as there where many customers pirates civilians and some marines.
The island welcomed any costumers along as thier a paying costumer.
Many at the bar drinking till thier hearts satisfied, some cooking up thier own little feast. One rare sight that there where many people laughing and chatting along with each other,
The Tavern owner let the bar out side multiple tables and seats set out for all the customers, the bartender refilling drinks giving them too waitress who's handing out drinks to the others that where outside the tavern.
The Straw hat crew decided to grab thier own little table near the shoreline setting up lawn chairs under an umbrella, Nami and Robin relaxed drinking and chatting with each other.
Luffy, Usopp and Chopper ran off to explore the small island running around like silly children.
Franky and Brook was all up in thier own conversation at the table.
Sanji at thier little table with a grill, cooking up some delicious mouthwatering BBQ, dress in a apron without a shirt and some short pants.
He was sipping his wine glass eyeing all the girls who were walking pass the table in their bikinis while doing his work.
Zay and Zoro laid a blanket under the shade of a tree nearby drinking from thier mugs enjoying the taste of booze on thier tongues, sitting next to each other, Zoro in his swimming shorts, exposing his bare chest with a large scare bare into flesh it kinda gave into his attractiveness.
Zay was just looking at Zoro from time to time when he gaze away Zoro would also be taking a few glimpses next to him at Zay who was dress only in his swimming shorts his whole body covered in bandages not a peek of skin showing
The scent of his delusions cooking traveled through the air making Zay a little hungry.
The Straws, being the some famous pirates, drew some attention from the people there.
Zoro facked a loud yawn slowly placing an arm around Zay's waist, the faking made him chuckle, he and Zoro bordly took another sips of thier drinks. Just enjoying thier drinks and each others company
That’s when the whispers began to float from a table near them, all girls.
Being Zay also known as the thriller of death, and from the demon race Zay gained a big reputation before joining the straw hat crew, by terrorizing towns and being Heartless.
His sensible hearing was able to immediately pick up the whispering
 “Is that Roronoa Zoro?”
“The pirate hunter?”
“Is that Zay? I tought that weirdo died in a crossfire back ages ago?”
“Why would the fuck would a demon like him be with Zoro?”
“You think his dating that Mummy?”
“He’s a beast and just eww. Of course his going to leash on the nearest person he could find.”
“In reality all the rumours about an Psychopath and bloodlust killing machine, all lies bet he only hide and pretend to play it big?”
Zay quietly placed his drink down, taking a glance at Zoro.
The look in his eye showed that he wasn't happy mostly pissed but he kept his cool, so there was no doubt that he heard them too.
His eye narrowed at thier table as more whispers about the Zay left thier mouths. The black haired Male let out a small breath, more of a sigh trying to calm himself down. They were just a bunch of jealous whores, Zoro wouldn’t think any less of me… would he?
A memory flashed past Zay as he moved away from Zoro taking off his hand from his. Kuina. Of course, Zay remember the name, Zoro childhood friend.
Not long after they fell in love..
Zoro trusted Zay very much he even opened up to him about his past, until a girl Zay doesn't know of came up the way Zoro spoke about her made him unsure about Zoro's feelings toward himself.
Zay would have understood if Zoro loved her. After all, not only was she described as pretty, but she kind and nice at the same time. Zay, on the other hand was the exact opposite rude and careless, would probably lose half himself in bloodlust nearly 10 seconds of a battle killing who ever gets in his way.
“Babe?” Zoro's voice brought Zay out of his thought. “Are you okay?”
“Fine. Whatever.” Zat growled before standing up walking off not hearing Zoro's questions. Leaving the swordsman.
Zay passed Robin and Nami both girls saw the look on Zay's face, he walked off to the Sunny it was a short walk as he went to the boys room slamming the door shut falling onto his and Zoro shared hammock.
The black haired Male felt his heart sink. Heavy breaths began to escape his mouth. Not only were he on the edge of riping off those girls heads and furious thinking so, but he couldn’t stand them.
Zay thought that maybe with Zoro there he would just drink the night away and stay at the swordsman hip being lovavble. He definitely helped, but the whispers that filled his ears were the last things he wanted to hear.
“Zay? Is everything okay?” Nami's voice traveled through the door as she knocking, Zay forced himself to look at the closer door, not a second later he flopped his face into Zoro's pillow with his hungry bloodlust grin.
“What? what do you want Nami?” Zay huffed an even more annoying thing to deal with.
“Is this about those annoying girls?” Robin questioned. “You don’t deserve that, Zay. No one does!”
“But their right,” Zay mumbled. “I’m rude, heartless, probably dengerous… Zoro deserves someone better, someone nice, cute, and more human girly someone who could be of actual love.”
“You’re actually very helpful, if it not for you Zoro would probably be training or sleeping himself to death.” Nami exclaimed, determined to prove Zay wrong. “You might not know the whole story. Zoro has never been happier ever since he met you! You take care of him, love him and you’re always there for him!”
“Zay you probably haven't heard what he says about you?” Robin asked, a gentle smile “He’s always telling everyone, Zay is mine and no one dares to take him from me I'll cut anyone down. Zay he loves you so don't push him away”
“Sush it you idoits-”
“They're only jealous, your the most basass bitch there is.” Nami and Robin said together and the two of them burst into giggles and Zay let out a loud hateful laugh.
He wanted to beat them up so badly, words ain't gonna cut it.
Zay let out a small sigh thankful for such good words. “Yeah. You useless girls are right for once.” and with that the blacked haired man slamded open the door waking pass them, Nothing left to say to the two.
***
Zoro found Zay in about an hour or so, after Zay left the boys room. He was a little worried but. He knew he should have told those girls off, after all, they were the reason Zay got angry.
“Hey, are you- oof!”
Zay clenched his eyes closed as he pressed his lips to Zoro's. His hands found Zay's waist as he pulled him closer to himself.
Feeling their tongues dancing with each other's the taste in thier mouths mixing and the biggest was the booze. The heat rising Zays fingers ran through the green hair of the swordsman, Zoro tightly wrapped his arms around Zays hips pulling him closed leaving no space between them they're skin would've been pressing together if it wasn't for Zay's bandages in the way.
Zay slowly pulled away not really wanting too, his cheeks a little blush and his eyes not leaving Zoro's.
“Well damn, ... your so fucking sexy”
Zay let out a low moan and buried his face in Zoro's neck. As the swordsman let out a low chuckle, kissing Zay's cheek softly.
“I love you.”
“You better cause you belong to me... and I love you too.”
***
(Almost to what Zay looks like {and Yes I know who this is}🖤❤🖤)

Another swordsman
Title: Another swordsman
Characters: Zoro and Sanji
Disclaimer: The characters and the univers belongs to Eiichiro Oda
Notes: It is the translation of my fic Un autre épéiste. I wrote it back in 2019, but I translated it recently. It was edited by @nopleaseexplain
You can also read it on ao3 or ff.net 
------------
“Oi! Sanji, I’m hungry!” screamed a young man with disheveled raven hair.
 The apprehended man sighed in annoyance. It was at least the ninth time today that the captain repeated this sentence. Before answering, he put down the refreshment he was carrying to his ladies who were sunbathing.
“I know, I know!” he screamed back. “There’s a snack in the kitchen.”
In a cry of joy, he rushed out towards the stairs to go to the kitchen and while not paying attention to the swordsman who was in the way.
“Luffy, be caref…!”
The pirate collided with a green haired man. With the shock, one of the swordsman’s katanas flew out of its scabbard and started to fall towards the deck, exactly where the cook and the two women of the crew were. The protective instinct of the blonde flared up and without thinking, he caught the sword, stopping it in its fall.
“Shitty marimo bastard!” he screamed. “Be careful, you could have harmed Nami-san and Robin-chan!”
“You’re the bastard!” answered Zoro back. “You be careful with my sword, it’s not a toy!”
“Don’t worry marimo! It’s not the first time I've handled a katana!”
Sanji had spoken thoughtlessly. He didn't immediately understand why everyone went silent...and was looking at him with big eyes.
“What? What did I say?”
“Since when have you handled a katana?” the swordsman asked, clearly surprised by this new information regarding his rival.
The cook felt his heart stopping.
“Knife! I said knife” he tried to take it back, “I’m a cook!”
“No, you did say katana”Namie replied. 
“Yeah, we all heard it clearly” Luffy added, finally showing up after everything.
All confirmed the captain’s words. Sanji cursed.
“So, care to explain?” Zoro asked eagerly. The one who wanted to be the best swordsman in the world was very interested that his rival in the crew could also use a sword, especially after defending the fact of not using his hands or a blade in combat and fighting only with his legs. And why was he trying to hide this at all cost ?
“It’s been a while” the blond replied. “I don’t wanna talk about it.”
With these last words, he stuck the sword he still had in his hand in the ground and went to lock himself in the men’s quarters, slamming the door behind him and leaving the pirate crew speechless. The cook never acted this way.
“I think it’s a sensitive subject for him” commented Robin after a moment.
“Me, I’m hungry” declared the captain, going to the kitchen for a second time.
The common lethargy wore off and all resumed their activities. Zoro, however, was not finished. There was another swordsman on board, besides him and Brook, and he wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery.
He went downstairs to get back his katana before going to take a bottle of alcohol from the pantry. The cook would maybe be more prone to talk with some sake. His goal in mind, he entered the men’s quarters. The blond was lying down in his bed, using his hands as a pillow, looking up, lost in his thoughts. He still noticed the swordsman coming pretty quickly.
“Go away! I said I don’t wanna talk about it!”
“No.”
Sanji grew annoyed. “No what!?”
“I’m staying.”
He took a seat on his own bed which was right next to his rival’s – got to find out why it was chosen that way – and filled two cups of sake before offering one to the other man.
“You want to get me drunk so I’ll talk…”
“Maybe. But alcohol has always been good to keep bad memories away,” replied the green haired man. 
The cook sighed before taking the cup and drinking it in one shot. “How did you know it reminded me of bad memories?” he asked after a while.
“It was the most obvious option,” Zoro replied, filling the blonde’s cup once again 
“You’re not so stupid, it seems” Sanji mocked.
“And you’re trying to change the subject by starting a fight.”
“What a shame, it normally works.”
“Not this time. I’m serious.”
Indeed. The swordsman was looking at him in the eyes with a stern look. He was extremely stubborn and the cook knew that he would not drop the issue.
“Why do you want to know?” he sighed.
“You know why.”
Yes, Sanji knew. Despite their rivalry, the two men were like brothers. And he knew Zoro felt the same. When one was hurt, the other was hurt as well. He would not let go before the cook told him everything. It was his way of demonstrating his support and giving a little comfort.
The blond sat up in the bed. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. After taking a drag, he spoke.
“I won’t go into detail,” he started, “but my biological father is the head of an army..Basically”
“Your biological father!?” Zoro exclaimed, surprised. “You’ve never talked about him, I thought Zeff was your father!”
“Zeff is my dad. At least, I consider him as that.”
“And he’s at the head of an army? He’s a king?!”
“Yeah…”
“So, you’re a prince!? All my respect, your majesty” Zoro joked.
“Stop that,” Sanji said menacingly. He wasn’t in the mood for that. “I rejected my family long ago. I’m not a prince anymore.”
“Sorry, sorry. Go on.” To encourage him, Zoro served him another cup of sake. The cook looked at him suspiciously before accepting the cup and drinking it in one shot. He preferred wine, but at this moment, the rice alcohol was helping him feel better.
“So, my brothers and I…”
“You even have brothers!?”
“Yes, we’re four twins. And a big sister.”
“So, there are more like you?” Zoro laughed.
“No. I’m different.” The green haired man felt a hint of sadness in his rival’s voice. He didn’t like it. Sanji was obviously hiding a deep scar and he hated seeing that it was still hurting him. He filled the cups once more.
“Anyway. At a pretty young age, our father was training us to become commanders for his army” the blonde continued. “I was assigned as a swordsman. I trained for it until… I left my family.”
Zoro couldn’t believe it. His friend could have been a swordsman too. “How good were you?”
“Plain bad. Let’s just say my father wasn’t pleased about it.”
“What did he do?”
He shook his head. “I’ve said too much. Maybe another time.” He closed himself off. He wasn’t going to say any more, for now.
“Don’t worry. It’s in the past. You’re here now.”
Sanji looked up at the ceiling once more while laying down in his bed again. His rival did the same and the room became quiet. In the swordsman’s head, however, it was not quiet at all. He was really curious to know what his friend has been through and he was imagining so many scenarios. It wasn’t going to help him much. An idea popped in his mind.
“Let’s have a fight,”Zoro suggested, breaking the silence that had been going for few minutes now.
“We do that at least ten times a day, marimo.”
“I mean, a sword fight.” The concerned one looked at his crewmate like he'd grown a second head.
“Have you lost your mind? I’m not a swordsman! And I never use my hands while fighting, you know that!”
“A friendly sparring match,” he justified himself. “You’ll at least have a good memory of sword training.” 
Sanji was speechless. He didn’t know what to do with the marimo’s proposition. The latter then handed him one of his katana.
“Come on!” he insisted “see it as a revanche on your father.”
The blonde’s heart squeezed. How did his friend understand how many scars his biological father left him with? He looked at the sword in Zoro’s extended hand. It was Wado Ichimonji. The young man’s biggest treasure. He was dead serious and had just given the cook a great sign of trust.
“Okay” he obliged, not able to say “no” any more. He took the katana and the two men went to the ship’s deck under the surprised eyes of their crewmates. The whole crew had fallen silent when the two rivals each drew out a sword.
Zoro noticed that Sanji’s position was perfect. His hands were holding the handle at a good height, the blade in front of him. His feet were at a good distance apart and his whole body looked like it was ready to parry any attack. Everything in him showed sword training. How had he not noticed before? How had he not made the link with his cutting skills when he was cooking?
The green haired man did not have time to think, the cook was coming with a front attack. He didn’t have any difficulties blocking it, but was surprised by the precision and the strength of the strike. He counterattacked, but the blonde saw it coming and parried it effectively.
The match went on for a few minutes before the two men stopped. The whole crew stayed quiet during the fight.
“You could have been a really good swordsman,” Zoro commented, “you got skills.”
Sanji knew his rival hadn’t used his full potential, but he knew that he wasn’t the type to give compliments out of nowhere.
“I’m leaving the role to you” he said back with a smile in his voice.
“Uhh.. can somebody explain this to me?” asked Usopp. The crew looked like they were waiting for the answer eagerly. They were obviously confused by the whole scene they just saw.
“No,” the swordsman replied. “It’s between the cook and me.”
Life on the boat went on, as lively as usual. In the evening, when Zoro went up to the crow’s-nest, he saw a bottle of sake and some perfectly sculpted onigiri.

Rorona Zoro x Child!Reader pt.3
Soft snores filled the boys’ dorm, most of them coming from Zoro and Luffy. Although the snores were noisy, it was comforting.
A low whine broke through the snores and filled the room. Y/N sat up and grabbed his side. His eyes filled with tears as a sharp pain shot through his body. 
“Z-Zoro,” Y/N said quietly, trying to wake up the man sleeping next to him. Y/N shook Zoro’s arm as hard as he could until Zoro’s eye cracked open. Once Zoro saw the tears flowing down Y/N’s cheeks, he gathered the boy into his arms.
“What’s the matter?” Zoro asked, now completely awake. 
“M-My side hurts and it feels all wet,” Y/N cried into Zoro’s chest. Zoro felt the boy’s side and it was, in fact, wet. Zoro pulled his hand away and could see the blood in the dimly lit room. 
“Jesus, you’re bleeding!” Zoro said, voice loud and full of panic. 
“What the hell are you being so loud for?” Sanji peeked his head over the side of his bed to look at the duo underneath him. Zoro quickly stood up, Y/N still crying in his arms. 
“Wake Chopper up and tell him to meet me in the infirmary. Y/N is bleeding from his side,” Zoro ordered as he rushed out of the room, not waiting for Sanji to answer.
When Zoro entered the infirmary, he placed Y/N on the bed. Zoro walked over to the counter and lit a candle so he could see better. 
Zoro placed the candle on the bedside table and walked over to Y/N. The boy was still crying and seemed to be in a lot of pain. 
“I’m just gonna look, okay?” Zoro said. Y/N nodded and let Zoro lift up his shirt. Zoro carefully pulled off the soaked bandages from Y/N’s side. 
There, on Y/N’s side, was a deep cut from what looked like a blade. Blood was still flowing and dripping onto the bed. 
“When the hell did this even happen?” Zoro asked, even though he didn’t really expect an answer. 
“Z-Zoro, it hurts really bad,” Y/N cried. He wanted the pain to go away so badly.
Chopper suddenly burst through the door, catching the attention of the pair.
“What happened?” Chopper asked frantically. 
“He woke up in pain. His side is bleeding pretty badly,” Zoro said, moving away from the bed so that Chopper could start aiding the boy. 
“Please make it stop.” Y/N’s voice was strained and you could almost feel the pain in his voice. 
Zoro had to leave the room because he couldn’t stand to see Y/N like that. He felt responsible for the kid and was ashamed he let something like this happen. 
“Marimo, what happened?” Sanji appeared out of the boys’ room. 
“I-I don’t know. He’s bleeding, and there’s a huge cut in his side.” Zoro was scared. He wasn’t going to let his kid die, not as long as he was alive.   
“Is everything okay? We heard yelling.” Zoro turned around and saw Nami and Robin walking towards them. 
“I don’t know.” Zoro walked away from the group and found himself sitting in the crowsnest. 
How did this happen? WHEN did this happen? Who the hell did it?
Zoro couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. Just until he remembered what had happened that day. 
Those damn marines, Zoro thought. 
Y/N must’ve been knicked when Zoro was distracted and was too full of adrenaline to notice he was injured.
An hour or so later, Zoro heard Sanji calling for him. Zoro climbed out of the crowsnest and met the cook by the infirmary door. 
“How is he?” Zoro asked. Sanji sighed. 
“He passed out a couple of minutes ago.” Zoro’s heart sank to his stomach. “But Chopper said he’s going to be okay. Y/N is gonna stay in the infirmary tonight.”
Zoro nodded and walked into the infirmary. Chopper was finishing wrapping up Y/N’s side in thick bandages, just in case the stitches tore. 
“You’re keeping him in here tonight?” Zoro asked. 
“Yeah. It’s safer for him to be in a bed by himself.”
Zoro grabbed a chair and pulled it up next to Y/N’s bed. 
“I’ll look over him tonight. You should go back to bed.” 
Chopper hesitated for a moment. He wasn’t sure if Zoro was in the right mindset to see Y/N in such a state, but he also knew that Y/N would be safe with Zoro by his side. 
“If anything happens, come wake me immediately,” Chopper said and left the room. 
Zoro leaned over and let his hand rest on Y/N’s forehead. His head was burning, but that was probably because he lost so much blood. 
“I’m sorry this happened, kid. I’ll make sure this never happens again, even if it kills me.” 
Zoro wasn’t exactly sure how long he was awake, but when he looked out the infirmary window, he saw the sun starting to rise. He looked back at Y/N. If the boy hadn’t been so badly injured, you would’ve thought he was having the most peaceful sleep. 
“I brought breakfast,” Sanji announced as he opened the door. “Let me know when he wakes up so that I can bring him something,” Sanji said, handing Zoro the plate. Zoro just nodded. 
Sanji lingered in the room for a moment, watching as Zoro paid all of his attention to Y/N. 
“It’s not your fault, you know. None of us were aware of it. There’s nothing you really could’ve done.” Sanji tried his best to comfort Zoro, but it was no use. 
“I promised to protect him, Sanji.” Sanji was a little taken aback at the fact that Zoro used his actual name. He must’ve really been upset. 
“This never should’ve happened. If I had been there, this-” A sob that had slipped out of Zoro’s mouth cut him and left the cook in stunned silence.
Zoro quickly rubbed his eyes to stop the tears that threatened to flow. 
Sanji went to say something but was stopped by a quiet groan. Y/N forced his eyes awake and looked around the room. 
“Zoro? Sanji?” Y/N’s voice was low and raspy. 
“Hey, kid. How do you feel?” Sanji asked. 
“I’m okay, I guess. Am I okay?” Y/N asked, looking at Zoro. 
“Yeah, you’re okay.” Zoro ran a hand through Y/N’s hair, a small smile on his face. 
“How about we get you something to eat? You need to help your body regain the blood you lost,” Sanji said. 
“Can I have some pancakes?” Y/N asked. Sanji chuckled. 
“You sure can. I’ll be back.” With that, Sanji left the room. 
“Zoro? Were you crying?” Y/N asked. 
“Yeah...” 
Y/N was confused. Zoro didn’t look hurt or anything, so why was he crying?
“Why? Are you hurt? Do you need to get Chopper?” Zoro gave Y/N a soft smile. 
“No, I was just upset with myself. It’s not a big deal.” Zoro didn’t want to make the kid feel any worse than he already did. Y/N nodded but was still a little unsure. 
“Y/N?” Zoro spoke. 
“Yeah?” 
“I want you to know that I really care about you. I really need you to know that, okay? I would give up my life if it meant you got to live yours.” Y/N was a little shocked, to say the least. 
Y/N didn’t want Zoro to die. Who else would train with him? Who else would carry him to bed when he fell asleep on the deck? Who would wrap their arms around him when a clash of thunder practically shook the ship? Zoro was basically his whole life and here he was saying he would die for him. 
“Zoro.” Y/N’s cracked voice made Zoro’s body cringe. “Please, don’t die. I wouldn’t be able to live the same life without you. I-I need you, a lot.” Y/N tried wiping away as many tears as he could, but some of them slipped by and stained his cheeks. 
Zoro quickly joined the boy on the bed and lifted him onto his lap. Y/N buried his face in Zoro’s chest and clung onto his shirt. Y/N let himself be calmed down in Zoro’s grasp, relaxing with every passing second. 
Zoro looked down at Y/N who was trying his best to stop crying, but a couple sniffles and hiccups sounded every so often. Zoro placed a soft kiss on the top of Y/N’s forehead, something that always seemed to calm Y/N down. 
The room went silent and the two could hear Sanji’s footsteps making their way to the infirmary. 
“Alright, one plate of pancakes, just for you.” Sanji entered the room and walked the plate over to Y/N. Y/N took a bite and it felt like his mouth was in Heaven.
“Mmm. These are so good, Sanji,” Y/N said, his mouth full of food. 
“Don’t talk with your mouth full, you’ll choke,” Zoro warned. Y/N gave Zoro a thumbs up and went back to eating. 
“If you guys need anything else to eat, I’ll be in the kitchen.” With that, Sanji left the room to go prepare breakfast for everyone else. 
Even though the circumstances weren’t the best, Zoro and Y/N enjoyed each other’s company as they sat in the infirmary together.
