i love your superhero/villain chat you did! any headcannons or extra bits you had in mind ♥️♥️
If you were to ask Luffy why he chose to be an anti-hero he would tell you, he was bored. It was honestly a pass time, some nights he would rescue people from muggers in the streets and others he is pulling money out of cash registers for Nami.  
Ace and Sabo weren’t aware of his powers, nor what he did with his friends. In fact as far as they knew Luffy wasn’t even born with powers. His brothers had unlocked their at birth but had only been able to learn control once become teenagers.
His power took longer to arrive, getting them when he was seven one day while playing twister with Zoro. The two had panic for a few minutes before deciding together that it was cool and the two had been best friends ever since.
Ace and Sabo had attempted to keep their gifts a secret from him but Luffy was able to figure it out. After all, how could they explain why so many things around the house suddenly “combusting” for no reason? 
True originally he suspected his brothers of being pyromaniacs and he had prepared for them to start a streak of arson someday. (He would help them get away from the cops he had sworn back then).
  His own power wasn’t as noticeable as his brothers. Luffy was rubber. He was made out of it and able to stretch his body to limits that could have killed any other.  His was easy to hide, all he had to do was not try to stretch and he was fine.   
Since they keep the powers a secret Luffy saw it fit to do the same, swearing Zoro into secrecy than the rest of his close friends over the years.
But then one day two superheroes appeared on tv in one bright orange and blue flashy outfits, fire dancing around them. One used a metal pipe the other a dagger. 
Luffy had watched the fight for a total of five minutes before he was able to identify his brothers’ fighting styles.  He waited for them to come clean and tell him but years past without either saying a peep. (If they wanted it to stay a secret they shouldn’t put their super suits in the laundry room hamper honestly) 
He never pushed them, if Ace and Sabo wanted him to know they would tell him in due time. Being heroes, however, took time, before Luffy knew it his brothers were always too busy with “work”. 
He told himself it was fine, that he understood. And then Koala and Marco showed up.  Luffy could tell how smitten his brothers had become with them, and it wasn’t long before they were taking all of their attention.
Luffy suspected both Marco and Koala were heroes as well, having seen people with similar body types and voices in costumes team up with his brothers. The more time passed the more Luffy grew to dislike being home, spending too many long hours alone as his brothers gain more and more villains appearing to challenge them.
Then they would go be lovey-dovey in their civilian personas and Luffy would only see them maybe once or twice a day instead of not seeing them for that time. He spent a lot of his time at his friends’ houses. He was surprised to find so many school mates with gifts so soon the only ones in Luffy’s group of friends that didn’t have power were Zoro and Ussop.
He couldn’t understand why his brothers stay hero though, after going out on the town with his crew and realizing how boring it was.  Half the people they saved weren’t even grateful, complaining about taking too long, about being the ones that attracted villains and worse demanding he shares his food. 
So he tried to be a villain for a while. That was fun for a while, especially since it let his friends run wild and he. But besides stealing being a villain wasn’t all that cracked up to be since he wasn’t trying to take control over anything and had no real goal like other villains.  
Plus he didn’t want to fight Ace or Sabo when they sprung to “stop him” keeping his crimes low key as to not attract his siblings' attention.
It was all so boring. 
He almost stops entirely. But then the villain Donflamingo attacked Ussop and Chopper putting his friends in the hospital. Chopper was fine beyond some flesh wounds but Ussop had been in critical condition having taken the worse of the beating in order to protect the younger power user. 
Luffy wanted his head. Wanted justice and wanted vengeance. Something a hero and a villain would want but not the other, so he picks a nice middle. Then he started his hunt for the villain and any who worked for him. His crew did the same mapping out the city’s underworld for their targets.
Sufficed to say Luffy got hurt more now since he wasn’t trying to keep a low profile. He wanted people to know him, to wonder who side he was on whenever he appeared.
That how he meet Law. He was his new doctor after Luffy’s last moved away (something about her house getting destroyed too much due to super fights?) and he was the greatest thing Luffy has ever seen. 
Was this how Ace felt when he first saw Marco? Did Sabo also feel the butterflies whenever Koala laugh like Luffy did when Law found his witty comments worth a chuckle? Did they both want to desperately hold the other’s hand? 
Luffy watched Law a lot. The way he spoke, the way he moved, the words he chose to express his thoughts. Yes, it was filtered by a professional customer service voice- he was working whenever Luffy saw him- it wasn’t long to connect him to the supervillain Surgeon.  Luffy thought a man couldn’t be more attractive but somehow Law proved him wrong by being one of the best villains in the city.
It was many fail attempts to flirt with his regular doctor that Robin suggested flirting as the Anti-hero Strawhat. It took him a while to find the perfect moment, but when his crew rescued hostages- one of them being Nami’s sister- at the bank he was finally able to see Surgeon face to face who confused him for a hero.
 And an allegiance was created that would rock the whole city.  They were able to get into the Ball that Donflamingo hosted. Luffy thinks Law had a plan at some point but it was long and he got bored. Midway into the night, he had convinced the other man to dance with him under the star lights and actually almost forgot about the other villain looking into Law’s masked covered eyes. 
But he had to avenage Ussop and he wasn’t going to let this chance to take the villain out, especially since he didn’t a chance to hide in the shadows again. So Luffy set the dance floor on fight smoking out the foaming villain and let his crew break hell.  
Law was screaming a lot, and he was very stressful but they were able to beat the supervillain by the seat of their pants
Then Luffy romance the shit out of him. He stole all the diamonds for him and helped him overthrow a corrupted councilman who made it hard for Law to get his sister the medicine she needed. Watching Law blush was the biggest rush he had in a long long time.
“Will you be mine?”  He asks watching the older man look over the fight of goons that tried to take his territory. 
Law stops his sword swigging letting his men take out the remaining gang members.  “What?”
“Be mine. I can be yours and no one will come between us. I really like you”
“You don’t even know who I am”
“I don’t know what you haven’t told me. But I do know that you are a kind and compassionate man, and someone I would gladly die for. I want to be your boyfriend.” 
“Huh. You know what, Anit-hero, we can try that. I do warn you.  I don’t usually feel romantic or sexual attraction so I may not know what to do. But I think I like you too.”
Luffy happily presented his brothers- the superheroes- to Law- the supervillain- a few months later wondering if Law knew that he was sitting across the same men that threw him through a building earlier that day.  Or if Sabo knew Law was the one who had cut the left side of his hair, forcing him to get a new haircut he did not like.
Would his brothers let this relationship they approve of contuine if they learned?
Luffy squeezes Law’s hand under the table happy that he squeezes it back, and decided that it doesn’t matter. He’s an anti-hero he does whatever he wants.
