rules ; masterlist.
Tumblr media
luffy.
— luffy is the sweetest guy ever ! i'm sure he will live up to all your expectations and be the best of the best.
— he's a little awkward around you :( but he's also very loud ! ! he wants the whole world to hear that you're his girlfriend ! !
— he is not the jealous type at all. luffy trusts you with his whole heart and soul, he knows that you will never cheat or betray him and neither will he ever hurt you. you have guy friends and luffy trusts them! he hangs out with them and is not afraid that they will take you away from him. he is fine as long as your friends don't harass you or make cruel jokes about you.
— luffy loves hugs more than anything else! the way you give him your warmth and share that intimate moment with him is all luffy needs. he loves to hug at all hours of the day and night, his arms will always be around you!
— he loves kissing you just as much! he kisses you on the tip of your nose when he goes out and on your forehead so you know he's there for you and won't leave you. he kisses behind your ear when you dance together. he kisses your moles or freckles because they're your specialty and he loves them ♡ !
— ! he's a terrible cook ! he'd rather burn down your kitchen and all the equipment and then make puppy dog eyes: "i'm sorry, please, i wanted to please you, but it didn't work out..." don't yell at him 👊
— sleeps like a baby and holds you close to him so you don't run away.
— goes to the bathroom with you because he thinks a monster will take you (he can't watch horror movies).
— gives you presents at the most unexpected times !
— his love languages are touch and words ! he can't take his hands off you and stop saying words of everlasting love.
— luffy is crazy about your smile :( the way your eyes shine and the dimples on your cheeks don't go away makes his heart flutter like it's your first date.
— doesn't like to fight with you ;( even if you have an argument he will try to settle it right away so you go to bed calm, but if it doesn't work out and you go somewhere else.... his heart breaks into little pieces, the fact that it's so bad that you left 😐 will apologize to you a few million times and will do anything to make you forgive him!
zoro.
— the most needy boy :( he needs you to hug him and hold him several times in a second while he inhales the smell of your hair and draws constellations on your back with his hands.
— that's why his love language is always touching.
— he arranges the most incredible dates for you! he chooses the places himself and afterwards invites you on this little journey where he will propose marriage to you.
— for some people marriage is just a stamp in the passport and rings, but for zoro it's a whole life, so he bound your hearts and souls into one, made tearful vows to you, promising to always be there for you in sorrow and in joy.
— hugs are part of his routine. he hugs you every chance he gets. his favorite is the back hug when you're cooking something and zoro dances a little and sings your favorite song.
— kisses you on the lips in the most tender way to convey his feelings. on the eyelids to give you support and on the cheeks to show you how cute you are.
— he snores like a baby but will wake up as soon as you try to get up, he's used to sleeping with you and snuggling up to you that he won't sleep without you.
— he's a little spoon ! !
— loves to go shopping with you and buy something interesting for your home.
— during arguments, when he can't hear you and makes you talk even louder, and the situation in your house gets heated - he just walks away, leaving you alone. later, of course, he will beg for forgiveness and kiss you, and promise that it won't happen again, it's true. he doesn't want your beautiful and clean place to turn into a dumping ground for quarrels and humiliation.
— jealous often, but he doesn't make scandals, but just stands by you like a guard until your admirer runs away.
usopp.
— he's so cute ! you want to kiss his cheeks forever and look into those eyes that show endless love for you.
— he climbs into your room through the window, like in the most romantic movies, without fail ! with flowers in his teeth, "did you miss me?"
— his love language is giving you presents and jumping in puddles while it's raining ! ! !
— he loves to lay on you and squeeze you so hard ! he just wants to show you how much he loves you. for usopp, hugging is something normal, he is tactile himself, but with you, it's magnified several times ! ! he is not afraid to be real with you and he shows everything he has.
— we're not done talking about hugs yet ! another one of usopp's favorite hugs is after a hard day of hardly seeing each other and now you're trying to support each other, for him these moments are the saddest, he'll even cry a little because he couldn't give you a minute all day long ;( my boy.
— kisses too hot! his lips are on yours in seconds and his palms on your neck are clenched while your brain is trying to understand what's going on.
— but he also loves sweet kisses, where you kiss him on the cheek and tell him how cute he is.
— sleeping on you ! you can't get up, so you have to literally throw him off you, "wtf? usopp? i can't breathe, get off 😐."
— he likes to watch comedies and ask every minute about what's gonna happen next.
— there is no room for arguments in your relationship, he will quickly put things into a happy environment and give you his beautiful smiles, but if you do have a problem he will listen to you and do everything in his power to make sure you're okay and not worry about anything.
— he's not jealous at all! why would he be? you're together and you love each other, you know he would never cheat on you and usopp knows you would never do the same, that's why you're fine.
sanji.
— he is such a gentleman ! he opens doors for you all the time, gives you things and does everything to make you feel at ease !
— his love languages are helping each other, supporting you in hard times and spending time together ! all these things are important to sanji as a man who wants to cherish your every moment.
— he loves just holding you close to you and kissing your neck while goosebumps run through your body. sanji also likes hugs where he pats your back and soothes you, hugs where sanji tosses you up and hears your most beautiful laugh.
— he likes to embarrass you so much! to see you blush and cover your face with your hands while sanji mocks and comes over to you ready to destroy you with a tickle.
— he cooks for you all the time, and it's delicious, he loves to surprise you with his new recipes, he doesn't mind if you help him with the cooking, which then turns into a game of survival.
— sanji is crazy about the unexpected kisses from you, he's just sitting there reading a magazine as you come up and give him the most sensual kiss in the world, but he doesn't mind the air kisses where he puts all his desire to kiss you.
— will watch your favorite shows with you, he doesn't care what it is, as long as you like it, he likes it.
— he's a little spoon! he loves it when your nose is against his back and your palms are stroking his chest, sanji gets so calm and he sleeps the most beautiful sleep ;(
— sanji is sometimes unbearable and it hinders your relationship, he likes it when you get angry and show your temper, but he won't let it go too far, you are his favorite, so sanji doesn't really want you to lose your nerve cells completely.
— he can only be jealous sometimes, but then he remembers that you're still his and he doesn't have to worry.
buggy.
— the most charismatic guy in the world ! flirts with you 24/7 and he is not ashamed. he will make you as red as a tomato and then kiss you on the corner of your mouth.
— loves the hottest kisses when you run out of air but you don't want to let go of each other. will lose his head if you kiss his shoulder or earlobe, BUgGY DoN'T BreAthe ! ! your lips are so airy but leave the wettest kisses.
— jealous quite a lot :( he trusts you completely, but doesn't trust the other people who want to take you away from him. even if you have been in a relationship for a long time, buggy is still afraid that you will find a better person than him.
— big spoon ! loves to hold you tight and smell you ! wakes up several times during the night to make sure you are near, even if he still has a dead grip on you.
— likes to take long walks with you and give you the most delicious drinks.
— he's not the best cook, but he'll learn to cook and get a michelin star for you.
— he doesn't think what he says, and when he realizes it, it's too late. he may accidentally tell you everything he thinks, and then he will kneel down and beg you to take him back. you are the most precious thing in his life and if he loses you, buggy will lose his air and the meaning of life.
— he likes to watch soap operas! absolutely any kind, there is no difference, because he likes everything and later he can discuss it all with you.

Please I have baby fever! I NEED monster trio as dads headcanons. I blame Bluey for this. Thanks in advance 💕🤞🏾
Monster trio as fathers
Ft; Luffy, Zoro, Sanji
Cw; Fem reader. Nothing else just fluff.
Tumblr media
•Luffy
Luffy gets you pregnant by accident. But he’s not worried about it at all, he’s really happy. “We’re having a baby?! That’s so cool!” He’s very excited to be a father but knows little to nothing about it.
You two have a baby girl. And he’s so happy! He doesn’t care much about the gender of the baby. He’ll love his child no matter what. The second she’s out of you and into his hands he holds her up for everyone to see. “Look! Look she’s here!” He shouts while joyful tears fall from his cheeks.
His little girl gets only the best from Luffy. He bathes her, feeds her and changes her all the time. He feeds her a little bit too much, and she has a never ending stomach like her father. She’s almost always hungry resulting in baby chub.
A giggly baby! This girl loves to laugh! She laughs more then anything else and with her jokester of a father she gets more then enough daily giggles. His stretchy skin makes for a great toy! He can pull on his face and make funny faces. Give her a finger to tug and listen to her laugh as it stretches. And even great to chew on. She kinda ends up thinking every human is like that though and tugs on people randomly. And she’s got a lot of strength for a baby (I mean look at who her dad is.) The force of her tug was enough to trip Zoro.
But once she’s old enough to start crawling and waddling, Luffy’s always active with her, chasing her, playing tag with her and playing with her. Her baby chub quickly melts away with him around. She’s so playful, always babbling and tugging on his leg to chase her and Luffy’s always up for the challenge. She has Luffy’s big wide eyes and looks like a carbon copy of her father.
These two are always talking, like always. Even when she literally can’t communicate beyond a few words and the rest is babbles. He will sit there and listen to her for hours on end and respond to everything she’s saying as if she’s actually speaking. He loves hearing her voice, whether it’s her managing to say ‘papa’ or her spitting her tongue out at him.
He takes her everywhere with him. He’s always holding her close to his chest while exploring new towns and villages. Everyone tells him not to bring her into dangerous places but he doesn’t listen. So to calm everyone’s nerves a little bit, Franky makes him a chest baby carrier that’s reinforced with armor. That only ends up making it worse though because now he thinks he can take her exploring with him. Like this man sees no problem in adventuring in a scary, dark forest where man eating predators are everywhere with a baby. He slingshots back to the ship with her in her carrier giggling against his chest and he feels proud of himself. Only for Nami to hit him and tell him how dangerous that was. The only situation he hands her off to you or someone else is when he’s about to engage in a tough battle. He’s confident in his skills and knows he can win but he’s not taking any chances of his sunshine getting hurt.
Given she looks just like her father, (and the fact he practically shoved her in Koby’s and Helmeppo’s faces when their fleet showed up to apprehend them) the navy knows the king of the pirates has a child. They’ve been trying to wipe you off the map for some time now and the same goes for your daughter despite her only being months old. No matter they’re not getting their hands on her. Luffy is serious when anything has to do with his daughter and if the marines think they can pull a fast one on him and kidnap his daughter, He sends their whole fleet to a watery grave. Even taking out every nearby marine base in the area to send a loud and clear message to the marines. ‘Don’t fuck with his daughter.’
When she’s around 5 the two somehow manage to get even closer then before. With her newfound ability to talk and make sense while doing it. They talk for HOURS. About food, games, books, the sky, fishing, everything. He tells her tales of his adventures and how her papa became pirate king. The two are best friends.
In all honesty he wants another one, maybe two, or three if you let him. She brings him back to when he was a kid and he wants her to have siblings like he did. But then he remembers an important lesson that he passes down to his daughter.
Luffy sits on the thousand Sunny’s figurehead. His daughter sitting besides him and wearing her straw hat that he had passed down to her. The little girl carrying the legacy of the king of the pirates without knowing it. They’re both silent but it’s a comfortable silence. He then looks over to her with a soft smile on his lips, bringing a finger up to her cheek and poking her. He laughs and brings her closer to him sitting her down on his lap. Some wisdom from the past remerges while he watches the sunset with his daughter. And suddenly he begins to speak. “Here’s a little secret sunshine, once you share a bottle of sake, you can become siblings with anyone.”
“Really? That’s all it takes?”
“Of course it does! Your papa would never lie to you! So when you find your long lost sibling. Rejoice with them over sake. Alright?”
“Alright papa!” Luffy smiles and looks at the setting sun wondering what the future held for the little girl who had the world in her palms.
•Zoro
“Run that by me again…?” Just like Luffy, Zoro gets you pregnant by accident. It’s not that he’s scared or anything, you’re the only woman he’d want to have a child with. But it’s just that he’s not prepared. It was something he wasn’t expecting.
The two of you have a baby boy. In all honesty that’s what he was hoping for. You swear while you’re recovering from giving birth you heard him give out a small cheer in trumpet when Chopper announced the gender. ‘Did he think this was a challenge?!’ He’s attached the second he holds him. His son melts his heart when he grasps his giant finger with his tiny one.
Although he wasn’t prepared he’s surprisingly good with a child. He changes him, feeds him and bathes him. Bonding over the little moments like washing out his hair for the first time. You swear you saw tears but this man literally forced the tear back into his eye when you pointed it out.
His son is silent baby. He doesn’t cry, he doesn’t whine. He only lets out small babbles every now and again when he’s trying to get your attention. You ask Chopper if he’s okay and he’s perfectly healthy. He just doesn’t show a lot of emotion. You can get him to laugh, giggle and smile if you try but on the day to day he is totally silent.
When Zoro has to watch him, he trains with him on top of him. Using his son as a little extra weight. It’s kinda adorable actually. He’s lifting up tons of weight above his head while the baby boy is sucking his thumb in the sling around his chest. He’s acting so tough while doing dead lifts. And every time he comes back down he gives his son a little forehead kiss.
When he begins crawling and waddling Zoro is determined to get him walking. He’s literally the best baby coach, always hyping his son up for the littlest things. “ ‘Atta boy!” “That’s my son!” “Did anyone else see that?! That’s my kid! He came from me!” Like- calm down he just clapped his hands. He supports his son in every little thing and helps him walk for the first time. Again he sucks up his tears and pretends he’s not crying. He’s so proud of the little guy.
He mostly hands him off to you when you guys are on a new island. He knows his son is safe with you, and with you holding carrying the baby he can protect both of you at the same time. Plus he’s known to get lost and one of his worse fears is getting lost with his child. If he���s lost by himself as least he knows you two are both safe. If he got lost with his child he’d be paranoid for his child’s safety. He knows he can protect him from any physical harm but he can’t use three sword style with him near. Plus he’d have to make sure he’s hydrated, and well feed and it’s just a lot of stress on him. It’s better if you have him and stick in groups when exploring.
When he’s finally starting to walk on his own Zoro buys him a small wooden toy sword. And just like his father he’s skilled with a sword. He loves it a lot, he likes to swing it on anything and everything. He often knocks anyone who walks past him on their legs and his favorite victim is Sanji. And Zoro’s just like “Yes, Yes hit him!” You apologize daily to Sanji when you find your son has been beating him up all day. Your son is confused, Papa says yes and mama says no. So to please you both he hits Sanji when his father’s near and doesn’t when you’re nearby.
Once he’s 5 Zoro starts training his little boy. He’s not soft on him at all and respects him as a swordsmen. Although Zoro loved his teacher when he was younger he just had wished he had treated him like he was an equal instead of a child. So he instructs his son as if they are equal. Most think this would cause him to relent his father but your son has Roronoa genes and it just bonds him closer with her father.
Zoro’s sword clashes against the smaller sword as his son’s stance was getting tougher and harder to block. Nonetheless Zoro doesn’t let him win. He smacks the sword out of his hand and makes him yield. “That’s another win-“ Zoro goes to speak but he sees the slight tension in his son’s eyes and immediately bends down to the boy’s height. “What’s troubling ya kid?”
“I just don’t get it. I can defeat pirates twice my size, Marines, almost anyone, but I can’t beat you.” Zoro hears his son’s lament and it reminds him of a familiar feeling he had when he was younger. And before he can speak another word Zoro leans in and hugs him. “So? What does it matter. Maybe one day you’ll beat me, maybe one day you won’t. Maybe one day you’ll beat someone stronger than me… maybe you won’t. And that’s okay. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to, and if you want to defeat me well it’ll take a lot longer and more practice.” Zoro picks up the green haired boy and holds him in his hands running a hand through his shaggy locks.
“Don’t pressure yourself. Just worry about what you can do today. Tomorrow will always exist.” Zoro says simply and that calms the five year old’s nerves. The male gives him a smile and ruffles his locks before going to leave the crow’s nest. “Alright now let’s find mama.”
•Sanji
Unlike everyone else, Sanji gets you pregnant because you two think you’re ready for a child. Keyword Is think. “Oh my love~ I’ve prepared the strawberries cream cheese and jalapeños you’ve request~!“ You don’t lift a finger during your pregnancy. Sanji does everything for you and forbids you to go exploring or fight during this time. For better or for worse you stay with the Sunny every time it docks. And Sanji prefers to stay with you every time but if he genuinely can’t and needs to help protect the crew he kisses you like it’s his last every single time.
You two have a baby girl and Sanji is ecstatic. He’s going overboard already, buying hundreds of outfits, toys and baby equipment. He bathes her, cleans her, feeds her and if he knew how Sanji would breath for her. You rarely get to see her and she’s YOUR baby. Like Sanji’s practically raising her all by himself. He does her hair, combing her long blonde locks back into two big pigtails. She looks just like her father, even having his ‘curly brows’.
She’s a shy baby. She’s a scaredy cat, and she cries easily. Sanji’s always there to help her feel better. He’s always there to rock her to sleep, and to play with her to stop her from crying. It takes a while for her to get settled with the crew as they all sorta scared her and made her tear up. But Zoro scared her the most for some odd reason. She starts screaming and crying whenever he enters the room and Sanji immediately gets pissed at him. “GET OUT OF HERE MOSS HEAD!” And your daughter is grateful her father’s there to protect her from that scary man.
He sits her down in a high chair nearby while he’s cooking. Making sure to keep her far away from any harm but close enough encase she falls out of the chair. She loves to sing and babble Melodies. She makes the perfect cooking partner. He listens to her sing while he works and hands off little cuts of food to her to taste. “Hmm this taste good?” He’d ask when he hands her a slice carrot. She babbles happily nodding her head while chewing on the carrot slice.
He’s a helicopter parent. He’s always making sure his baby girl is safe. He’s always checking that knifes are put away, and that she can’t play with anything dangerous. Hell he even bubble wraps some baby toys that are too sharp for his likings (calm down babe it’s a plastic fishing rod). He keeps her away from the railings, standing far back and holding her tightly so there’s no chance of her falling in. The worse thing that could possibly happen to him is if she ever gets hurt. Even small bumps or her falling down breaks his self esteem. “I’m a terrible father, how could I have let this happen.” He soothes her pain to the best of his ability but feels so, so terrible he let it happen.
He’s a picture dad. Whoever let this man get his hands on a camera made the biggest mistake of their lives because now they have to deal with him showing them baby pictures of her. Every single second of the day. “Oh! Oh here’s where she spit out her tongue at her food! And here’s her sleepy face! Isn’t she so adorable!” He gushes over her showing them pictures and taking up their life while his daughter is right there staring at them both. He takes pictures of every little moment and makes not just one scrap book, but multiple. On every island he makes sure to stock up on camera film because it’s most likely going to be gone by tomorrow.
Speaking of which when the Sunny is docked on a new island your daughter is with you at all times. Knowing Luffy’s attraction to danger and how he’s one of the strongest he often has to fight. He instructs you to run and hide in the safest place possible with your daughter if danger arises. He trusts you to protect her but when push comes to shove but he rather you both are safe while there’s danger around. And if you’re threatened, or worse. Your daughter is. Sanji will rip anyone who threatens his family apart and with no remorse. Even women. That’s how you know he’s serious.
When she’s 5 Sanji’s even closer with his little one. He buys her anything she asks for! It’s all worth it just to see her smile. (Nami never gives him allowance anymore since he spent millions of berry on a purebred horse rental for her). She’s the sweetest little girl around, and has a soft spot for animals. She wants to become a veterinarian even. And while Sanji knows little to nothing about animal care, he’s still his daughter’s biggest fan and supporter. But his world opened when he found his daughter we crying, he wondered why but then saw the dead squirrel in her palms. She must have snuck it back on the ship and kept it as a pet, but due to Sanji’s sheltering she didn’t know what was going on. He neglected to teach her about death, he thought such scary things and concepts could wait until she was older but it was clear he made a mistake.
“P-papa….” “Oh come here sweetheart…” Sanji engulfs her in a hug and pulls her into his lap while she cries into his chest. “I don’t know why he won’t wake up! I brought him food and water! B-but he hasn’t woken up in two days! I-I don’t know why but I feel sad! W-what’s wrong with Mr. Squirrel?” As his daughter cries and sniffles against him he doesn’t know where to start really. He stammers over his words before he starts. “Honey…Mr. Squirrel is dead…” “He stopped breathing and now he’s not here anymore. No one knows where you go when you die but he’s not with us anymore.”
“O-oh… well can he come back and say goodbye first?”
“I’m sorry sweetie but that’s not possible.”
“Oh well…. Can… can we die too? Is that gonna happen to you one day? And… mama? And me?”
“Yes sweetheart. Everyone dies. But it’s always at the right time, you’ll make memories you’ll never forget and when it’s time for your journey to end. It must meet its end.”
“I don’t want to die.”
“No one does. And if you could live forever I’d find a way for you too. But for now it’s something that happens to everyone and everything. There’s no need to be scared of it. It’s just apart of life. Don’t worry about it now my love, for now we can burry Mr. Squirrel and have a funeral at the next island. Would you like that my dear?”
The air is quite somber as the little girl processes what death is and that she can’t run away from it. Her tears come to a stop and suddenly she doesn’t feel that sad anymore now that she realizes it’s a part of life. “Mmhmm… I’d like that.” She whispers and Sanji smiles at her picking her up and exiting her bedroom. “Now let’s go find a shoebox to put him in until the next island.”

hi! i love your work, is it okay if we can get shanks for your wound care series? thank you!
Patching up Shanks' Wounds
Zoro Law Sanji Shanks Ace Luffy Sabo Doflamingo A/N: HI NONNIE! Thank you so much for your request of course you can have the lovely Shanks for the wound care series! Pairing: Shanks x GN!Reader CW: None WC: 887
You thought the whole world had collapsed when you had heard the trembling voice of Shanks over the Den Den Mushi pleading for your help. You dropped what you were doing and sprinted to his location. A million thoughts raced in your head: how could the Shanks get injured like this? What kind of enemy could he possibly have encountered? Just how bad are his injuries?
As you round the corner, your eyes locked onto Shanks, and your heart pounded in your chest. Your gaze scanned him, assessing for any signs of injuries, but wait… where were his injuries? Your panic increased, and adrenaline coursed through your body, your mind in turmoil. He seemed just fine? Shanks let out a hearty laugh at your reaction and extended his pointer finger to you.
“I think I’ve gotten a splinter,” he declared, a grin stretching across his face.
Your jaw dropped, and you blinked in disbelief. “Red-haired Shanks, you did not just make me panic over a splinter!” you shouted, exasperation clear in your voice.
He shrugs nonchalantly, his eyes twinkling playfully. “Hey, hey, calm down. This is a very serious injury,” he says, his tone clearly teasing as he waved his hand dramatically to emphasize the importance of the splinter.
Your chest heaves as you attempt to calm down. “Shanks, you are insufferable.” You mutter out in irritation. You walk over to him and smack him across the head. He whines out dramatically even though your hit didn't actually hurt in the slightest. “Next time you call me like that you better be ten seconds away from death, you got it? Now show me your damn splinter.” You say in irritation.
“My, my, so angry, do I always get you this worked up?” He teases, with that same playfulness in his eyes.
You sigh, shaking your head at his antics. “It’s a special talent of yours, Captain. Now, let me see the splinter before I decide to make it a more serious injury.”
He chuckles, extending his finger to you to inspect. “Alright, I promise to only call for medical emergencies next time. No more splinter crises.”
You examine the splinter closely. It was barely a sliver of wood embedded in his finger. You grab a pair of tweezers and with one quick and precise motion, you remove it. Shanks winces, not from the pain, but from the exaggerated theatrics that he decided to play up for you. Once the ordeal is over, you can’t help but roll your eyes at him and smile. “There, all better,” you say, your voice laced with fond exasperation.
Shanks flexes his finger and grins at you. “You’re my savior. Now, how do you plan on rewarding me for being brave and handling the pain?”
You can’t help but laugh. “Reward you? How about I just don’t ban you from the infirmary for life for wasting my time?”
He pouts playfully, “Wasting your time? I think that's a bit harsh don't you think?”
“Well, Captain, you do have a knack for keeping me on my toes at all times and for making the simplest things an adventure.”
He flashes you a charming grin, leaning closer as if to share a secret. “It’s because I have the most excellent nurse who can turn the most mundane situations into unforgettable moments.”
Your heart skips a beat as his gaze locked onto yours, and his words carried a hint of something deeper. “Is that so?” you ask, your voice softening, unsure if you were still talking about the splinter or something entirely different.
Shanks nods, his expression turning playful once more. “Absolutely. And you know, and I still think I deserve a reward for my bravery today.”
You are brought out of your trance for just that moment and you take his hand in yours, your fingers lightly brushing against the calloused skin.. You bring his finger up to your lips and lightly plant a soft, lingering kiss on it, the delicate sensation of his roughened fingertip sending a pleasant shiver down your spine.. “There, all better. Is that what you wanted?” You ask, a playful smile gracing your lips, eyes locking with one another in an unspoken exchange of shared humor and affection.
Shanks chuckles, the sound warm and endearing. “Hey, only a kiss on my finger for all my troubles? Such a prude you are.”
A mischievous glint dances in your eyes as you lean closer, your lips just barely brushing against his ear. “Maybe if you get injured somewhere else you’ll get a kiss there too.”
He raises an eyebrow, his grin widening, and his voice dropping to a murmur.“I see… So, uh, I happen to have this splinter in my lips too, and one gnarly one right below the belt-”
You interrupt him with an exasperated huff, a playful swat to his arm and a mock glare. “Shanks, so help me, I am going to murder you right here, right now.”
The two of you shared a laugh, and in that moment as your laughter echoed in the room, it was clear that even the simplest of interactions with Shanks had a way of turning into something more, something extraordinary. It was in these moments, full of playful banter and shared laughter, that the connection between you and Shanks truly shines.

Some stories gets told: Reversed roles
Pairing: OPLA!Roronoa Zoro x fem!reader
Summary: The battle is over and while everyone is in the right mood celebrate a certain writer is not. This is Zoro's time to comfort her and tell her a story of a lost friend.
Pt.1\\Masterlist\\Pt.2

If four days ago people would have told her she was going to be a loyal member of a pirate crew that wasn't Shank’s' she would have laughed; if four days ago people would have told her she was going to tell someone her story, she would have joked about it; if four days ago they would have told her she was going to be chasing for her dream she would have been lying that her dream was to have a boring life in Syrup Village, but there she was: in her room revising her writing for the the crew's boarding diary.
She was deep in her thoughts when someone knocked on the door, Sanji wanted to ask if she needed anything to eat or drink, her answer came in the form of point her water bag on her desk. The blonde pirate left her alone with her diary and her thoughts.
She kept staring at the same portion of her draft, thinking if it was worth it or not putting her story in there. She thought there was no use in that, who would have been interested in the past experience of a pirate like her, with a dream so useless as hers? Reading what she had wrote about the rest of crew, she was reminded once again that maybe she had to change her dream. Being the most famous writer in the world was nothing compared to what her new friends wanted to achieve.
This time no one knocked on her door, Zoro just came in without making his presence noticed.
-What...- the two of them hold eye contact for some seconds untill the swordsman noticed he got in the wrong room. -Right, not my room. Sorry.- when he left she laughed, for a moment and decided to appoint how the pirate couldn't find his way on his ship either.
She could sense her head exploding, her eyes started to hurt like crazy and if she didn't want to Usopp to lecture her she had to stop and take a break.
Entering the kitchen she was met with a smiling Luffy and a very confused Usopp, Sanji and Zoro.
-What is happening?-she asked.
-I wish I knew.-whispered Usopp leaning closer to her, his attention still on the captain that was taking something out from a bag.
-Hello guys.-said the...head? of a clown. What was happening??
-You gotta be kidding me.- scoffed the green haired man. The situation was still new to her, and Usopp too. Sanji as well couldn't understand why Zoro was stressed about having to deal with the head of a clown.
-What is wrong with this clown's head?- Y/N asked, she was curious to why there was such tension between the swordsman and... the clown's head.
-Oh, nothing, just that he tried to kill us for a map.- oh, that makes sense she thought to herself and took a piece of paper and wrote down "clown attack" as a note for later. She was going to write about that for sure.
-Zoro, buddy. Look I have changed, I am not here to kill you anymore.- the head spoke. Zoro rolled his eyes and pointed a finger at Luffy before warn his friend that if the clown did anything remotly suspicious, he was going to drop him out in the open sea.
She noticed how much fun the head was in teasing every single one of the crew, first with Y/N pointing out how sad she was looking, then with Usopp calling him 'Captain Shit-tastic'; then it was Zoro's time to get teased but the second in command was not going to stay calm about it. He took Buggy's head from his kerchief and threaten him to drop him at sea.
Zoro wanted to make sure it wasn't a trap, after all he had tried to kill him, Luffy and Nami the first time they had met. Usopp and Y/N kept an eye during the whole interaction between the two of them and hoped, at least the girl, that this was going to be the last time him and the head would argue like that.
Once Buggy gave his word that he was not walking them into a trap, starting singing a very obscene and out of tune sea shanty, Zoro decided to drop him inside a barrel. Y/N had to hold in her laugh, she didn't want to upset the clown further even though he was not in the situation to do anything about people laughing at him.
-...sounds like you don't know her either, mosshead.-
-they do look like moss, now that I give a better look at them.-
-yours look like a bird nest, now thay I gibe a better look at them.- he mocked her, annoyed about the comment she made. She was about to compliment him for his payback(?) but Sanji started to yell at him that was in no way how he was supposed to treat a lady. -I'm sorry m'lady.- he said in a mocking tone giving her a courtsy. -I'm sach a savage.- and with that he left the deck, deciding that maybe it was better for him to stay away from everyone.
-I hope his comment didn't hurt your feelings, madam.- the use of 'madam' cringed her a little bit, mostly because it never happened before that someone used the term for her.
-Nah, he was joking, is okay. So, what where you talking about?-
-Nami.-started Luffy. -and her choice, whatever it is I need to hear it for myself.- she was happy to have found such a nice pirate, if it was anyone else, she was pretty sure they wouldn't care and would have left her behind. But not Luffy. He was different and she couldn't help but smile at her captain.
It was after some minutes that Usopp spotted land and staring at the island she started to get nervous, what if it was a waste of time? What if Nami didn't want to come with them? What if she was going to loose her company? She didn't want to admit but, even though she had known Nami for literally two days, she had grew fond of the girl and considered her as a sister. She didn't want to face rejection from her.
Entering the village she started to feel a rush of sadness taking over her body. She had never seen anything like that before, thinking what Kuro planned was bad enought she had to consider, the fake butler was an angel compared to Aarlong. She was sure it was him, and Luffy only confirmed her thoughts.
-Hey, shithat! I think we can all agree that Aarlong's a bad fish.-it got her everytime Buggy would start talking, she wasn't used to such a situation. -But why don't we quit lollygagging and get my body back?-
-Pipe down in there.- commented Sanji. Not him nor the rest of the crew was in the mood to listen to a head complaining about his situation.
-or what? You gonna whip me up a soufflè?- that, she had to admit it, was funny but maybe just for her because the four boys looked at her confused.
-What? It was funny.- she answered
-I like her, she gets me.-
-Yeah, just don't push your luck Clown.- before the head could start another argument with her Luffy started to walk away, following a bunch of people yelling at each other for only the seven seas know why.
A man with a little started to collect what the crew thought to be Berries from the crowd of people. Some rolled their eyes, cursing under their breath; some others cried, Y/N had a thought the money they gave away was their last.
-Do we have time to get some more?- asked a woman from the crowed.
-No. You don't.- the girl didn't have time to think who was speaking, and once the people in front of them opened a passage for Nami Y/N and Luffy were ready to greet their friend. Zoro stopped the both of them, it wasn't the right time to get involved.
A look at Zoro and Luffy got the memo, stopping his walk to the ginger woman. Y/N on her hand didn't care. She wanted to talk to Nami as soon as possible; she wanted to know why she left and she wanted to try and bring her back with her, with the crew.
-No, not now.- said Zoro, in a whisper for just her to hear.
-But...-
-No buts. We will talk to her later.- there was no way she could fight him on that, if the swordsman thought it wasn't time yet, it wasn't. The girl left a annoyed "fine" and walked some steps backwards.
-You got something for me?- her tone was harsh, Y/N couldn't believe her friends could be meaner from what she witnessed, but even when Nami used a cold tone with the crew, she knew it was becuase someone had to, but now? She was just mean, for no reason. She sounded like her bully back in the days. She was so caught in her world that didn't notice Nami saw them; she didn't hear her asking Luffy why he was there.
-And you? Why didn't you stopped him?-that was brought her back to reality but even then she couldn't understand what was happening. -I asked you a question.- the girl couldn't speak, but even if she could what was she supposed to say?
-Because I need you back.- that was supposed to be kept between the wall of her mind, but as usual the words left her mouth before she could register what she was saying.
-I don't need you. I don't need any of you.- Nami gave a quick look on everyone before she went back to speak. -Aarlong wanted the map, and I conned you into getting it for me. And you bought it. I was never part of your stupid crew.-
-You don't mean that.- Y/N started to think Luffy and her are connected somehow because whatever he spoke were the same words she was thinking. Maybe it was a coincidence, maybe the two of them had learned to read between the lines and managed to understand when something was off, not just with Nami. Maybe Nami was just to easy to read, an open book there for everyone to catch on what she really meant, just like now. She could tell, and so Luffy, she needed to be saved but if she couldn't ask for it is not like you could do anything about it.
-Take the rest of these clowns and sail away from there. I never want to see you again.- and with that the ginger woman left, and once again Y/N wished nothing but to go after her friend, and once again Zoro had to stop her, an unspoken "is not worth it" flew between the two.
-Okay, that went about as bad as it could. So back to the boat before the fishmen find us? Sail the hell out of here? Okay.-
-No.-
-She is right, there's something else going on here.- added Sanji.
-She was very clear she want us to leave.-
-You don't know her.-
-Because you do?-
-No, but unlike someone here I can read in between lines. She is just trying to not get us involved in whatever is happening here.- she really didn't want to start a fight but Zoro was giving her milion of reasons to, and the same with Sanji. It was like the swordsman just wanted to start arguing with everyone on his sight.
-Guys, guys. You don't get it? She's one of them. She is a bad guy. The villagers are terrified of her.- she rolled her eyes and if it wasn't for Luffy walking away, she was going to smack Usopp on the head, annoyed by his behaviour.
-Who was that lady? You know, the one with the cool hair?- the Scar guy, or how Luffy addressed him asked who wanted to know to witch the captain answered with his name followed by "I'm a pirate" to wich Zoro corrected, adding a little thing.
-We're here to collect Aarlong's bounty.- it made sense, she thanked the man for interfering into the conversation. The man in front of them was confused. He couldn't believe a bunch of little flies like them could take a piarte of the scale of Aarlong.
-We just want to talk to her.- Y/N could sense him smirking, she knew he was. She had learned it was one of his habit.
-Trust me, you don't. But if it'll get you out of my town, try the house down that road, on the edge of the tangerine grove. The girl thanked the man with a small courtsy, following behinde her friends in the direction he pointed at.
The five pirates were almost at their destination when Usopp started to complain about how tired he was.
-Keep walking princess, we are almost there.- she teased him. -And stop picking up tangerines.- she added noticing her friend stealing a couple of them from the trees.
-Is not like they would notice some are missing.- he protested back.
The group didn't even had the time to knock that the girl with blue hair they saw among the crowed gretted them pointing a gun at the pirates, asking them to leave immediatly. Usopp was fast, hiding behind Zoro's body while the other four didn't seem too fased about their current situation.
Luffy tried to reason with her, if talking about having things in common meant reasoning with someone having you at gun point. The woman expressed her thoughts on Nami, calling her a thief with no conscience, that once there was nothing left to take she just leaves, without turning back. That was not the Nami Y/N knew, but maybe Nami fooled her good, showing a part of her that was a lie. Maybe.
-My sister doesn't have any friends. The sooner you realize that, the better.-
-Sister. That makes sense. Both as beautiful as each other.-
-Give it up.-Zoro spoke, rolling his eyes, Y/N following suit. She liked Sanji company, she did but sometime his flirting was too much and off topic. They were there to find a way to get Nami back, not for him to flirt with everyone that looked in his direction. But Y/N had to give it to him, he knew how to get to people, with the promise of a good meal doing the trick he was able to let the blue haired girl shut down her walls and let them inside.
Nojiko, you had learned was her name, started to talk. She explained about the day Aarlong and his men arrived at Coco Village and destroyed everything. Nojiko talked about how Bellamere, their adoptive mother had asked the two of them to hide from the pirates. She told them about Bellamere's sacrifice and how her and Nami watched Aarlong killing their mother in front of them. She had told them how Nami started to work for the fishmen crew and that from that day on she never saw her sister again, untill she started collecting the money from the villagers.
The story broke Y/N's heart, she couldn't even fanthom how hard her friend's life was. Compared to hers, she had lived a good childhood, getting picked on from time to time.
-Wait. Nami's working for the pirate that killed your mother?-Nojiko nodded, it was short and almost invisible if you didn't look closely.
Luffy stood up, without saying a thing, he didn't had to. What was he supposed to say? He walked outside, Y/N and Zoro exchanged a quick glance and she nodded, hers too almost going unnoticed if you didn't look for it, a sign she understood it was not her place to talk to Luffy. Not now at least.
Everyone was trying to kill time as best as they could: Sanji and Nojiko were on dishes duty; Zoro and Luffy were still outside either talking or maybe in silence; Y/N was drafting part of what happened that day; Usopp was preparing his famous little bombs with Buggy's head annoying the poor guy.
It was after some minutes that Nojiko left that the silence was cut with bombs and screaming from the village, the crew left and on their way to see what was happening they meet Nami.
Y/N couldn't believe her eyes, her friend was on the ground, screaming in a fit of anger, stabbing her tattoo letting blood cover the symbol that had tormented her for her whole life. One thing, when Luffy stopped her attack on her flash, she asked for one thing: help.
Of course they were going to help, she was their friend, a part of a new family that was only meant to grow with every new adventure. She was family and there was no way they weren't going to help her.
Entering the village in the morning, the chaos that reigned was worse than what they encountered the day before. The houses seemed to have dissapeared, becoming black ash from being set on fire. Not a single soul was there, and if they were people they were hiding well.
The villagers, or what was left came out, all with a holding some kind of weapon. They wanted to fight, they wanted their home back, freed from the fishmen and they were fighting until death to pursue it.
Nami tried to reason with them, there was no way they could take Aarlong's army and get out of it to see another day, but the people of Coco Village didn't care. They wanted their home back and they were going to fight.
Luffy, Sanji, Zoro and Nami started to walk, headed to Aarlong's Park; Usopp wished he had stayed at home, Y/N was the only sane one that had to stop the crew, which turned out a little complicated since Luffy was very into getting started on some action.
-Guys, we can't get in there without a plan.-
-We have a plan. We get in and we fight everyone that gets in the way.-
-That is not a plan. That is the base for a suicide mission. Nami please help me out there.- the navigator didn't say a word, she was not in the right state of mind to think properly. Aarlong tricked her, and now she just wanted to get her revenge. Y/N scoffed. It was useless, no one was going to listen to her. -Usopp, before we get in throw some of yoru smoke bombs so we might have a higher chance to not end up dead.-
-yes captain.-
Entering enemie's territory Nami and Luffy left for the map room, where Aarlong supposedly was, while the rest of the crew enganged in a fight with the fishmen crew. Y/N with a smooth movement jumped on the walls the separated the park from the outside and from there she started throwing her daggers to whoever tried to get to her. She got distarcted for a split second, noticing Luffy cornered, and that caused her opponend to strick a kick at her.
She was up, back at her feet almost immediately, back flipping some miles away she threw at the fishman another couple of dagger at him. The two blades got him, one cutting his left forearm and the other his right leg; she sprinted closer to her enemy, keeping an eye around her to make sure no one was close enought to engange in a duel, when she was closer, the pirate kicked him on the other side of the Park and then moved to her next opponent.
The dynamic was the same for every fishmen she was fighting: throwing daggers from a distance and then knocking them down the wall; if they were downstair she would have knocked them out agaist every surface that was close to them and then moved to the next target.
-You look tired.- teased Sanji -Maybe you should take a break.-
-You ought to get back in the kitchen.-Zoro protested in response.
-I have a dagger with your names on it, next time I hear the two of you picking a fight is on sight.- there was no way those two were arguing with each other in such a delicate moment.
-My apologise ma'am.-
-mY aPoLoGiSe Ma'Am.-mocked Zoro.
-Quit screwing around. Luffy needs us.-
-You just got here. You don't know what Luffy needs.-
-if you don't shut up right this istant I am going to kill you next.-
-As if you could take all of them by yourself.- she wanted to kill the swordsman right here and there. How dare he assume she couldn't take an army by herself?
-Just because I don't look buffed like you doesn't mean I am weak. Now I'll be happy to not hear you two fight again or... Shit.- talking while fighting is not always a good idea, no, is never a good idea. The y/h/c haired girl got sent flying, the air got cut short from her lungs for a brief moment and if it wasn't for Zoro coming to her rescue she knew she was gone for good.
-You were saying?- he wasn't paying attention to her, once he slayed the pirate he went on fighting the next one.
-This is your fault. Now shut up and keep fighting.- she was back throwing daggers after daggers, her collection seemed unlimited for a rookie eye, but she was fast in getting back the one she had already used.
-Stop telling me what to do woman.-
-Ehy, that is no way to talk to a lady.- of course the cook had to give his one cent in the conversation.
-SHUT UP.- both Zoro and Y/N smiled as they spoke simultaneously.
As fast as the fight started, it ended and so the bickering between Sanji and Zoro. Y/N could only roll her eyes while she was retriving her weapons from the dead bodies laying around.
-Oh, it's so much better than I even remembered.- turning around the girl saw that the head was back on its rightfull place. Now, looking better the clown wasn't as scary as she thought he was going to be, he looked somehow... attractive? Weird considering he was once an enemy. -Hey, so, uhm... I'm gonna get out of here.- he said, flipping the finger on both hands and leaving. It didn't came as a surprise. She had it coming, of course someone like Buggy would have done such a think. Zoro tried to call him back but the clown didn't want to stay there any longer. -Sorry, kiddos. I'd love to make things right, but it's time to exit stage left.-
The trio really wanted to take a break, to relax at least five minutes but no. Another fishman was ready for a fight and in second he put k.o Sanji. Zoro was the first one to attack but his only good sword was not able to cut throught the tough skin of the fishman, then it was Y/N turn to attack but not even her daggers were of much help.
Kicks after kicks, puches after punches it seemed like there was no way they were going to win this one. It was like the universe was against them, after having helped the three of them for that long. Everything changed when the nameless guy badmounthed Nami about her poor choice of friends and Sanji got so rilled up he started giving weird names to his attacks.
-Mouton shot?- Zoro was genuinly confused, what kind of attack name was that?
-All great fighters call out their finishing moves.-
-That was cringe, let me tell you.-
-Yeah, you're gonna fit in just fine.- he remembered the first time he fought alongside Luffy and how he said the same exact thing as Sanji. Maybe there was a logic on how the captain was recruiting new members for the crew, maybe it was just a coincidence.
Usopp started to run back in, yelling and being his extra self, proclaiming to not fear because "Captain Usopp was there to save the day" when he noticed there was no need tp fight anymore.
-Oh. You guys did pretty good in here.- that made the daggers thrower laugh, which wasn't a good thing since her ribs hurted like crazy.
-You okay?-Asked Zoro some what concerned.
-I think I broke some ribs, nothing too serious.- she was about to ask him how he was doing when Sanji calling Nami's name got your attention. The blonde cook opened his arms, ready to welcome the girl in there but she ran past him and threw herslef at the three pirates behind him. The collision made the swordsman and Y/N hiss in pain but Nami didn't notice, too happy to see her friends still alive. Zoro asked where Luffy was and when hearing he was still inside the map room Usopp hoped for his captain to get outside of there in one piece.
-Hey Nami, how are you doing?- Y/N asked sitting next to the navigator, the ginger haired woman smiled assuring her friend she was doing fine. -I know what happened is fresh but..- the y/h/c haired pirate handed her a small leather notebook. -I was wandering if you could write about, you know...- she had to clear her throat, she didn't want to sound indelicate but it was for her project. She wanted to write about everything, the good and the bad of her and her friends' adventures. -nevermind is stupid. Just...-
-I would love to help you, just give me some time.- said Nami snatching the notebook from her friend's hands. Opening the book she smiled, Y/N remembered what she had wrote on the first page "Nami's diary: a great thief, navigator and liar but also the greatest friend on the sea" and blushed. She was embarassed, thinking that maybe it wasn't the right way to address her friend. -I love it.-
-You want something to eat? I am starving.-
-I am not that hungry yet, maybe later.-
-Okay, I'll tell Sanji to save you a portion.- she turned back. -I'll wait as long as you need so don't worry.-
Taking her portion of food Y/N took a seat further than the people surronding Usopp, she wasn't in the mood to stay around people not when her mind was starting to play tricks on her once again. Since the battle against Aarlong came to an end she couldn't stop thinking that no matter how strong she was, or she was going to turn out her dream wasn't strong enought to ensure her a spot on Luffy's crew.
-Was he always like that?-
-what?-
-Usopp. Was he always that good of a liar?- staring at her long time friend she laughed.
-He just like the spotlight and is a good story teller. He wants to lift up people's spirit when in need, he did it with Kaya back home and now with the villagers. He knows how to touch people's hearts.-
-You are a pretty good story teller too.-
-I have to disagree, I don't know where to start nor how to end. I talk to much I am abresive.- she started to play with her food. -Have you ever... Never mind, it doesn't matter.- Zoro started to push her into talking and she was trying her best to keep her mouth shut but eventually she gave up. -I just can't stop thinking I have a stupid dream, I mean you want to beat the strongest swordsman of all seas; Sanji wants to find the All Blue which is considered a myth; Nami wants to draw a map of the whole world; Usopp wants to be a brave soldier of the sea and I... I want to be a writer.-
-Why?-
-What?-
-Why do you want to become a writer?-
-I made a promise to my friend. She told me I had a way with words and she made me promise her that no matter what I had to keep writing. This is why.-
-I had a friend when I was a kid. Shw was older than me and the daughter of the sensei of the dojo I trained. She wa...-Y/N interrupted him, feeling that he was telling her that story to make her feel better. She told him that if that was the case he didn't have to keep with the story. -Woman, I don't do things out of pity, now let me talk. I was saying. She was stronger than me and stronger than all the boys in the dojo. We made a promise, every day we will fight each other growing stronger and stronger and then one day, when we were older one of us was going to be the strongest swordsman in the world. She died that same night. Wado was her sword, I asked her father if I could keep it and since that day I lived to fulfill that promise. I think every dream is based on a promise, no matter if it was made to a family member, a friend or even at yourself, so stop overthinking. Now.- He stood up streaching out a hand in your direction. -where is my notebook?-
-oh, about that... I have to buy three mores. I left Syrup Village with two and Usopp has the other one.-
-Showing favouritism, I see. Just make sure to give it to me first and not to Shitty cook over there.- he said pointing behind his back, that made her laugh. -Now care to enjoy the festivities?- Y/N took Zoro's hand in hers, helping herself up and followed the pirate back to the crowed of people listening to Usopp. Maybe she was gooing to fight her dark thoughts a little longer, but now she had a weapon to keep them at bay.

sad prompt:  when the daylight comes i’ll have to go
Tumblr media
sfw, moodboard i’m listening to the song (daylight by maroon 5) and this hc popped in my head. summary: due to unfortunate circumstances, you and your pirate have only one day to spend together.
Zoro
It was heartbreaking news. He was normally calm and even tempered, but knowing this pushed buttons. He was sad. Devastated to be specific, but he wouldn’t admit that.
“What do you want to do?” He asks quietly. Looking at the horizon, you took his hand and walked together down the beach. The sun was setting slowly as you two sat down.
Zoro had his large hands over yours as he rested his head on your shoulder, sighing into your skin. He closes his eyes and murmurs, “can we stay like this? Just for a minute.”
You nod your head. Both of you sat there, looking at the setting sun. Quiet words exchanged, small kisses, and cuddles were your activities for the night.
Sanji
“You serious?” he whispered, gently grabbing your chin with his fingers. “One day?” He has a solemn look when you nodded your head. He knew your time together was short, but he didn’t expect it to end so quickly.
“I-I don’t know what to do.” He says quietly. “I didn’t think that this day would come now.”
Both of you held hands as you sat on the harbor, legs dangling over the edge.
Giving you a small smile, Sanji took off his top, and jumped into the water. He playfully motioned for you to join him, and you happily agreed. The water was the perfect temperature for splashing around, play swim tag, and the romantic holding-each-other-close-in-the-sunset kiss.
When you two dried off, you warmed up in the ship and snuggled.
Luffy
His eyes widened when you told him. He looked down when you explained the situation. While you spoke, he slowly took your hand and drew you closer. When you asked what was wrong, he said, “Keep talking, please. I like your voice. If this is our last day together, I want to listen to it until we have to leave.”
Giving him a smile, both of you talked the whole night away.
It was a simple night for both of you. You conversed, talking about adventures to come, your future lives, anything you had planned, getting more crew members...Luffy wanted to hear as much of your voice as possible.
After having dinner (and more conversation), you two were at the crows nest, barely hanging on. You knew he’d catch you if you fell. Of course, you probably would just for him to hear you playfully scream for help one last time.
Usopp
At first he’d laugh it off, taking it as a joke. “You’re kidding, right?” One day together? That was ridiculous! It took him a while to accept that it wasn’t one.
You two were hanging out in a tavern, drinking beer and enjoying each other’s company with a friendly drinking competition along with snacks.
You told Usopp you’ll miss his stories of how he bested three pirates singlehandedly with his speed and slingshot, fighting off that darn shark, and other crazy stuff.
Both of you shared laughs, joked around, and had a mega cuddle session back at the ship. Both of you wanted to have as much fun as possible with each other, knowing that his adventures with them would be a little different after daylight.

Turned into a child w/ Sanji, Robin, & Ace
Tumblr media
Content: GN reader, fully platonic/familial relationship since they are literally children here. Light One Piece Backstory Spoilers
Notes* In this scenario, they’ve been turned into a child by an unnamed devil fruit user. They don’t retain their adult memories, but they remember everything after it wears off! I wanted to do this prompt for a while because these three really deserve some hugs and love
Content with spoilers: hinting at past child abuse 
Sanji
He’s. BABY
He doesn’t know where he is and he’s scared, so you find him hiding under the table after you weren’t able to find him in the usual spots on the ship
You didn’t understand the situation at first, but you couldn’t miss those cute little curly brows
You call his name, and he looks even more confused at the fact that a stranger knows his name
So you move to sit on your knees a safe distance away from Sanji so he can feel a little safer
You only knew bits and pieces of the treatment he went through with his birth father and siblings, but it was enough to understand why he would be scared of adults. So you offer him a soft smile, full of patience
You assure him that everything is ok, he’s safe, and that you aren’t going to hurt him
Slowly he starts to emerge from under the table and asks where he is
You offer your hand to him, asking if he’d like to see
He’s hesitant, but you look so sweet, so he trusts you and takes your hand
You take him out of the room to see the ocean and his eyes light up
It makes your heart ache
He looks at you with a big smile
“Is this the All Blue!?”
You gently tell him that no, not quite. But he is on a ship that’s trying to find it, and he looks out over the railing, scanning the horizon
Sanji is sweet on everyone, loving the attention from the girls (as always) and yet still getting into tiffs with Zoro, even at this young age
You have to stop Zoro from trying to fight him
Everyone loves hanging out with little Sanji, and he keeps gravitating back to you with a big smile
He doesn’t seem to remember Zeff when you ask him, so you leave it be
He still cooks for everyone come dinner, but you’re there to help him- especially when he cuts his finger
You calm him- you almost cried when he did -and then kiss his bandaged finger for him to help him feel better
The next day when he returns to his proper age, he shuts himself up in the kitchen in embarrassment, baking anything he can think of so he doesn’t have to face everyone
Robin
It was almost impossible to find her the morning of. Poor thing was so worried that she hid too, just a little bit better than Sanji did
When you do find her, it’s in the storage room of the ship, and she’s already crying
You quickly assure her that she’s not in trouble, nor are you going to giver her to the marines
She’s not comforted about the fact that she’s in a pirate ship though, so she might be around the age after Ohara’s death, maybe a few years after being on the run
She was open with you about her past after the events of Enei’s lobby, but it was always painful to talk about so you never pressed the subject
She didn’t look like she was going to be leaving anytime soon, so you promise to get her some things to make her stay more comfortable
You bring her a blanket and some of her favorite books, which she perks up at
Sanji enters to pass off a snack and almost passes out from how cute and little she is
You totally agree with him, but you still have to shove him out before he frightens her too badly
She only seems to touch her snack when you’re not looking
You didn’t want to leave her completely on her own so you were keeping her company
The more time passed and the more the crew poked in to say hello, the more she began to relax
She started to ask you questions- like help with reading a big word, or about how she got on the ship
That one was a little harder to explain, so you simply said you weren’t sure but that she had the whole crew protecting her from any big bag marines
You were glad that there were no bases of theirs in your path for now
Eventually you’re able to coax her out of the storage room just in time for dinner
She sits next to you and keeps looking around cautiously- the group was chaotic, and you were worried that maybe it would scare her back into her shell
But it actually does the opposite, and you’re happy that she’s finally relaxed
When she returns to normal, she thanks you for being by her side and calming her down when she needed it
Ace
The absolute biggest asshole ever
Adult Ace was this cocky, flirty, goofy guy. He was fun and knew how to have a good time
But him as a child is the worst
He is, max, 10 years old and the most conniving little shit
Not only did he go straight to throwing hands when you accidentally uncovered him hiding in the pantry stuffing his face, but he kicked you in the knee before running out to find a new spot
You’d warned Marco and any of the others you passed after that while your knee ached in pain
It wasn’t long until he was eventually found again, this time by Whitebeard of all people, which ended up with them fighting
It was clear that Whitebeard was trying to go easy on the little guy, but he was getting annoyed
Eventually Ace is picked up by the ankle and held out in front of him almost akin to garbage while he flung around, swinging his arms wildly and kicking at Whitebeard’s wrist
“Let go of me, you stupid old man!”
It took a while, but eventually you, Marco, and Whitebeard managed to calm him down enough to talk to him
He sat with his arms crossed and sour
He was only acting out as a fear response due to his lack of memory, of course
But you were still kind of unhappy when it was decided that you were babysitting him
Ace owes you big time
But even with the attitude he gives, if he’s not throwing hands, he’s a pretty cute little guy
You spend the whole day talking about your adventures on the crew when you realize that’s what piques his interest
Suddenly he’s all smiles and he’s engaging with you happily
At dinner, he still stuffs his face and falls asleep at random right there at the table
You carry him to your room to sleep there since someone needed to pick up on Ace’s missed duties today, and when you return he’s still asleep, but back to his usual age
So you scream for him to wake up and apologize for kicking you
He laughs, the dickhead, and apologizes.
“I’ll kiss it better if you want. But tell me- was I a cute kid?”

Sitting down at the dinning table you manage to explain and tell the crew everything that happened while you were with Percy and how the situation came to be, you stayed surprisingly calm through the whole thing even though deep down you were angry and upset. Zoro leans against the table his hand around your waist as he sits next to you, the slight anger he had before increased at hearing what Percy put you through, but he also feels pride at how you fought back. Sanji sits on your other side leaning back in his chair with his arm over the back of your chair letting his fingers run little circles on your shoulder blade and back, his body tenses at hearing what happened and what he said to you, its clear Percy has developed an obsession. Chopper gives you a sad look from across the table, he had a faint idea of what happened due to your injuries but it was worse than he thought "What happened after?" The doctor asks hoping the young man didn't do anything else to you, a light blush appears across your cheeks as you squeeze Sanji's hand remembering the relief you felt at seeing the cook over you when you woke up, your other hand lies on Zoro's thigh giving it a light squeeze as the blush on your face darkens remembering his words "When i woke up, someone was beating the shit out of Percy and the other was almost in dream land" You giggle looking from the swordsman to the cook who both have different reactions to your explanation, Zoro gives the crew a proud smirk squeezing your side while letting out a small chuckle proud of his handy work, but Sanji looks away lightly biting his lip since he feels a little embarrassed about it all. "I wasn't in dream land i- i just…" The cook tries to explain.
You didn't mean to embarrass him but the cook really was falling in love all over again at Zoro's aggressive words, "Admit it, you liked the show" The swordsman teases leaning over you to run a finger under the cooks chin causing the blonde to blush more and slap his hand away "S-shut up moss head" Sanji stutters earning a giggle from Robin and a big laugh from Luffy and Usopp who lean on each other as to not fall of their chairs, Nami smirks watching your face closely noticing the blush still hasn't faded from your face which means your hiding something she wants to know. Leans over the table the navigator poke your nose getting your attention "Then what?… i know that blush Y/n, something else happened" She sing songs making your smile drop and cheeks go redder at her teasing, you have no chose but to turn away hoping to avoiding her mischievous eyes. Luffy lets out another big laugh this time slapping the table with his hand while holding his stomach "Your face is so red Y/n… you look like a tomato" The captain's laughter is soon joined by Brook and Usopp making you hide your face behind your hands in embarrassment, a part of you wants to tell Nami its nothing but you know she'll keep pushing until she knows especially with the others now involved. "My love, there's no need to be embarrassed" Sanji leans closer placing a kiss on your head knowing what your embarrasses about, Zoro chuckles shaking his head "Your really embarrassed about it? your the one who asked for it" The swordsman teases gripping your waist harder earning a squeak from you since it tickled a little.
Still hiding behind your hands you mumble under your breath earning a raised eyebrow from the crew but Nami grins leaning in closer knowing your about to crack, she just needs to give a little push. "What was that? Come on i really want to know now, no more joking and teasing i promise… Pinkie promise" the navigator holds out her pinkie as you slide a finger to the side in order to peek though your hands seeing if she means it or not, you know she'll keep a promise so slowly lowering your hands you move your pinkie out to meet hers only to stop suddenly. "Let me see your other hand" You glare noticing her other hand isn't in view, Nami lets out a long sigh in frustration but bring it out from where it was hiding under the table, you didn't want her crossing her fingers making the Pinkie promise Invalid. "Happy?" Nami asks while clearly showing her hand as you take her pinkie finger in yours "Very" Your glare fades as you unhook pinkie fingers letting the navigator sit back down properly waiting for you to spill the beans. "So what happens?" Luffy asks slightly bouncing eager to know what it is that Nami is so interested to find out, Sanji gives you a smile while squeezing your hand to give you encouragement while Zoro rubs your waist giving you a cocky grin. The swordsman knows you won't say anything about what he said after, it was a vulnerable moment for him and both his partners know not to betray his trust by telling others.
You lean back in your chair while rolling your eyes at your crew nosy and your unhelpful partners, you hoped they would either say it for you or get Nami to leave you alone but you've made a promise now so have no chose. "Ok fine, I just wanted a kiss before we headed back and then all of a sudden i could move my arms" Most of the crews eyes go wide at this but Luffy looks around at the crew with a raised eyebrow "You guys kiss all the time" The captain points out only for Usopp to sigh and pat his friend on the shoulder, they should have known he wouldn't get it or even remember what the seed is called. Zoro chuckles at their reactions leaning in close to you and placing a kiss on your neck as his hand squeezes your side making you squeak again but this time hit his chest. "I still can't believe it worked but i'm glad it did" The swordsman gives you a soft smile as you turn to glare at him only for the green haired man to lightly peck your lips, giving in to the warmth filling your heart you lean into the short kiss. Sanji hums in agreement bringing your hand to his lips and placing a kiss on your knuckles letting his lips longer as the memory fills his mind and how revealed when you could move again. "Who knew true loves kiss would actually work" the cook chuckles as you turn to look at him seeing those soft beautiful loving eyes that make you melt, leaning in Sanji places a light kiss on your lips that you happily return. Nami sits back with her eyes slightly wide as a blush forms on her cheeks realizing how much the three of you actually love each other and that a true loves kiss is actually real, she can't understand how something like that can work, its so romantic yet so illogical.
Brook's jolly laugh gets most of the crew's attention getting them to snap out of their shocked state, turning to the three of you the skeleton places a hand over where his heart should be "How wonderful, its like a real life fairy tale. I'll have to write a song about this" Sanji can't help but blush slightly at the thought of a song being dedicated to their love but Zoro just rolls his eyes letting out a short laugh at how ridiculous he thinks it sounds. "I'm really confused" Luffy tilts his head still not understating the situation but luckily Usopp is happy to help, pulling his captain closer the sniper starts explaining while the others talk, Robin with a finger on her chin lets out a hum in thought. "How interesting, i wonder… if it brings some truth to the Snow white story then what other fairy tales are real or hold some kind of truth to them?… also how does it work? is it really just true love that counteracts the affects or is it a chemical reaction?" The black haired woman ponders as Chopper looks up at her confused wondering how it works too, but he also can't help the smile on his face, he loves fairy tales so thinking that one might actually be true sends joy through his fluffy body. "The kiss helped me move my arms a little and get my heart beat and breathing better but i think it was your cure that helped with the rest" You smile over to Chopper hoping he isn't too upset about his cure being pushed aside "I'm glad i helped but i'm also glad the kiss worked, Its so sweet how much you love each other" The doctor sways making you blush at his comment.
Sanji lets out a small laugh while placing kiss on your cheek his hand reaching over to rub Zoro's shoulder, The swordsman gives a big smirk while leaning over to kiss your neck before placing a kiss on the cooks hand that lifts up from his shoulder to rub the green haired man's cheek. Luffy shoots up with a big smile after having everything explained to him, his hands slamming down on the table making the plates clatter and glasses shake "That's so cool" the captain yells making most of the crew laugh at his very late response to the new's, Nami sighs though and pinches the bridge of her nose, she's glad she knows but this doter in the conversation has gone on too long for her liking. "That's sweet and all but were getting off track… What do we do with Percy?" The navigator asks hating to ruin the moment, but they'll be leaving tomorrow morning, so they have to figure out what to do with the young man, she's not about to let him stay on the ship longer than needed. Zoro smirks leaning forward while placing a hand on his swords "Lets just kill him and get it over with" Robin taps her chin at this before shaking her head earning a groan off the swordsman "After everything he's done i feel like a quick death is too nice… I personally would give him a taste of his own medicine" The black haired woman states while shrugging her shoulders, Chopper gulps at this while rubbing his arm "You mean, give him the seed? If we give him enough he'll die from it, is that what you mean?" The doctor asks unsure if thats a good idea or not but Robin nods with a sadistic smile. "I think thats a good idea but i want him to feel how Y/n felt first, i also want to kick his ass again, he isn't hurt nearly enough" Sanji grips your hand at he speaks hating how you looked and must have felt not being able to move and hallucinating who knows what.
Brook lets out a hum unable to think of any ideas until he remembers what Nami said yesterday "Why don't we just do Nami's old idea? You know, tie something heavy to him and throw him over board" The skeleton shrugs earning a smile from the navigator who nods happy that he brought it up "I still think thats a good way to get rid of him but after hearing everything i agree with Sanji, he should experience what Y/n went through" The navigator evilly smirks making Usopp lean away from her in slight fear not liking the look on her face, but he also wanted to make Percy suffer for what he did so gulps though his fear in order to talk "Why don't we just dump him on the island and leave him to rot?" The sniper asks only to earn a glare from Zoro, Sanji and Nami which makes him jump but before the three can protest or yell at him you finally speak up "That's not a good idea. He's smart and will find a way off the island at some point or someone might come across him. Either way he'll find a way off and will do this to someone else, i'm not going to let some poor soul go threw what i went through" It was unclear before what you wanted, but as everyone was talking and the ideas piled up your mind kept coming back to one thing as your eyes lock on your tattooed arm. "So what do you want to do?" Luffy asks tilting his head at your blank face, Sanji squeezes your hand giving you a concerned look while Zoro pulls you into him not liking that look on your face and the slight tension in your body, neither one have ever seen you like this before so can't tell what your thinking and feeling "No one is killing him-"
Before you can say more the room erupts into groans and slight yelling "What?" Nami and Sanji both yell giving you a shocked look while Brook, Usopp and Zoro groan in annoyance not understanding what you want, Luffy tilts his head further while crossing his arms over his chest knowing there's more too it. " So your not going to let him live or dump him on the island?" Nami yells in confutation wondering what is running though your head. "My love? He hurt you in so many ways and like you said before, if he lives he'll do this again" Sanji states taking your chin to make you look at him, you sigh and try to explain only for Zoro to release your waist while standing up his hang gripping his swords tightly. "The hell Y/n? We can't keep him on the ship, i don't mind if you can't do it but I'll happily kill him after what he's done" The swordsman yells going to walk away only to be stopped when you quickly stand and grab his arm, anger gets the better of you since no one is letting you talk or finish what you were about to say so you yank Zoro's arm forcing him back to you before pointing to the chair "Everyone shut up and Zoro sit down" You yell managing to make the room go quiet, the swordsman slowly sits down his eyes slightly wide since its rare for you to show your anger. Taking a breath you try to calm yourself while sitting back down but still keeping a firm grip on the swordsman's arm, so he won't get back up again "I wasn't finished" You state through gritted teeth mainly glaring at Zoro while saying it.
Looking at the rest of the crew you sigh giving your captain a sorry look not meaning to yell but Luffy nods letting you know he understands, and he's not mad. "What i was saying was, No one is killing him but me" You state taking your hand off Zoro's arm now that you've gotten it out "I've deiced tonight i'm going to let my snakes do it since their over eager and i want him to know how i actually feel. Until then, you guys can do what ever you want to him, i don't care what you do but i have two conditions. One, he doesn't leave that closet and two, don't kill him" Crossing your arms over your chest you lean back in your chair feeling a lot calmer now you've gotten it out but your surprised at the long silence you get in return. Robin gives you a smile and a nod letting you know she's happy with your destitution which makes you smile. "What if some of us don't want to do anything?" Usopp asks looking around the room in hopes he doesn't get yelled at by someone but you shrug while uncrossing your arms "You don't have to do anything" you reassure earning a sigh of relief from the sniper, "Sorry for yelling Y/n" Nami bits her lip while looking away feeling bad since she yelled at you and didn't let you finish, giving her a nod you feel Sanji take your hand and interlocking his fingers with yours "I'm sorry too my love, i should have let you finish but… Will you be ok with doing it?" The cook asks with slight concern in his eyes, he knows your technically not the one to end him, but he's still worried that it'll affect you.
Giving the blonde a sweet smile you bring up your hand to lightly brush his cheek "I'll be fine, don't worry" Sanji relaxes at your touch turning to kiss your hand before you pull it away "We'll i'm glad thats sorted" Luffy smiles wide while leaning back in his chair and rubbing his large belly at how much he has eaten thought their conversation, letting out a small laugh Robin stands up out of her seat "I'll inform Franky and take over, so he can eat" Robin smiles standing up from her chair soon followed by Zoro who takes your hand "Can we talk?" He asks flicking his eyes between you and Sanji, knowing he's not happy about something the two of you quickly stand and nod but the cook looks over at the kitchen letting out a sigh "Just let me lock up and I'll meet you in our room" Sanji gives the two of you a smile before glaring at Luffy who puts his hands up in surrender earning a laugh from Brook and Usopp, The swordsman nods squeezing your hand as he pulls you out the kitchen. Making you way across the deck you notice how tense Zoro is but his face is blank making a pit form in your stomach since you can't tell what he's feeling. "Are you mad at me?" You hesitantly ask not sure if you want to know the answer or not but the swordsman lets out a heavy sigh giving you a quick glance before opening the door to your bedroom, once the door is closed behind the two of you Zoro turns to you letting go of your hand "No i'm not mad at you.. i'm just" The swordsman sighs rubbing the back of his head, stepping closer you take his free hand giving him a soft smile.
Zoro relaxes at your touch starting to feel more confident with what he needs to say now that your both behind closed doors "Lets wait for Sanji before i get to the big stuff but for now i.. I'm sorry for snapping at you" The swordsman apologies managing to meet your eyes, reaching up you run your hand over his cheek while leaning in to kiss his cheek "Thank you" You whisper pulling away only for Zoro to grab your waist pulling you in for a heated kiss, his lips crash against yours with need his tongue easily slipping into your mouth making you hum in delight, unfortunately your kiss is cut short by a knock at the door. Pulling away you both look over to see Sanji walking in and closing the door behind him with a smile "I thought we were going to talk?" The cook teases as he makes his way over, taking his hand you pull the blonde into the two of you while leaning up to lightly peck his lips "We are, but we were waiting for you" Zoro smirks taking Sanji's other hand and giving it a squeeze, the cook nods giving a smile back gesturing for the swordsman to speck his mind. Letting out breath Zoro turns his attention back to you seeing you make the same gesture. "I need to know if your fully sure about this, I know it's not going to be you killing him but still your going to kill someone." Giving him a sad look you reach up to cup his cheek knowing he's worried about your mental well-being afterwords. "Zoro, i understand your concerned but I'll be fine. I won't be in the room when it happens, my snakes will take care of things so please don't worry"
The two body sigh in relief glad that you won't be there when it happens "Good, i don't want you alone with him" Sanji lets out a small nervous laugh, he was worried Percy would try and manipulate or mentally hurt you again but you bit your lip knowing you wanted a privet word with the young man "I do want to say a few things to him before i leave my snakes to it but… I know you two won't like it but i don't want you there when i do" You know they would protest so hold up your hands to stop them before they can even voice their worries and anger, luckily the two keep quiet but clench their teeth waiting for you to explain your reasons why "He's convinced your both manipulating me into saying and doing things, i want him to know that what i say is my words not yours. i'm not going to try and reason with him or get him to understand, i just want him to know that what i say is my words not yours" Putting your hands down you wait for the two to respond but surprisingly its silent, Zoro clenches his fits wanting to argue, but he understands your need to make things clear, Sanji lets out a sigh wrapping his arm around your waist to pull you into him and place a kiss on your head "Alright my love, but we'll be outside just in case you need us ok?" The cook asks hoping you'll say yes, The swordsman looks up at the two of you feeling a little better when you nod your head, stepping closer Zoro wraps his arms back around the two of you holding you both close to his chest "I can live with that" glad that the both of them are agreeing to this you lean up to place light kisses on each of their lips.
Unfortunately the swordsman had one last worry that he had to voice so pulls away slightly while gripping your waist "I.. I want to beat Percy's ass for what he did to you but i don't know if i can hold back, i nearly killed him out in the forest, if didn't you waking up he would be dead." The swordsman sigh, giving him a soft smile you know it'll be hard for him to not kill the guy but you trust him and know that if he did, it would be an accident. "i won't get mad it you accidentally kill him, i know your anger can sometimes get the better of you but your really good at controlling it when it matters" You reassure but Zoro's face is still shows confliction, placing a kiss on his cheek Sanji gives the green haired man a small smile "I really want to make him pay too, why don't we kick his ass together, I'll make sure you don't kill him and then after we can take a bath together" The suggestion finally makes the swordsman smile while nodding in agreement, he normally wouldn't like someone holding him back but this time he'll make an exception. "Well you better hop to it then, in half an hour i'm getting a bath so unless you don't want to join me…" You smirk earning quick kisses off the two which makes you giggle at their eagerness "Love you babe" Zoro kisses your cheek before rushing out the bedroom not wanting to waist time in beating Percy's ass, so he can bath with you, Sanji kisses your other cheek before heading off after the swordsman "Love you mi amour" The cook calls back giving you a wave while trying to catch up with the swordsman.

Prove your love • Monster trio
Tumblr media
Pairing: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji x fem! reader
Warning: fluff, wounds.
English is not my first language so let me know if something is wrong!
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
LUFFY
Tumblr media
Although you are used to seeing the captain of the straw hats without taking almost anything seriously and flying from idea to idea, if you really start to mistrust his love for you, he will not hesitate to fix it.
He started to notice when you didn't give him roast beef anymore.
The boy is really not one for details or gifts so he will surely ask Nami or Robin for help, Nami scolding him will surely hit him on the head for being careless with you and for him to find a way on his own, Robin tells him the same, since something that comes out of it will be the best.
Hours go by and you can't help but see your captain practically going crazy all over the ship in search of answers.
And stopping to eat from time to time.
You decide that enough is enough, you don't want him to keep losing his mind over a slip like this, and you stop him by reassuring him that everything is okay, he's long past the test.
SANJI
Tumblr media
Forgive me to say that it is already EXTREMELY RARE that this man has neglected himself, he will love with all his being everything that has to do with you, it will be learned from the date you met to your zodiac sign, in fact it is even probable that if you met "has neglected" is because he was absorbed in his mind looking for something to prove his love to you.
Indeed it was, when you were on the deck of the ship calmly reading the latest news that had arrived in the newspaper, one calm day, when out of nowhere a great sound came from the door leading to the kitchen.
"LUFFYYY!" Sanji was chasing the captain with a frying pan in one hand and a lighter in the other. "STOP EATING MY LOVE FOR y/n!"
ZORO
Tumblr media
This time he is the one who takes the prize of the situation, he is not the one to remember dates or special words with you, he is more a person who shows his affection through his company or acts of protection but this time it was different.
You were on a small island that you had found to replenish provisions for the trip, and since Sanji and Zoro didn't take the opportunity to fight and compete to see who got the biggest prey, since you knew you had nothing to do there you just snorted and helped the rest to disembark.
The whole day had already passed and there was still no sign of Zoro or Sanji, but Zoro worried you especially because you knew his incredible abilities to navigate and you couldn't help but want to go look for him, just when you were about to leave Sanji you stop, wait, Sanji?
"Y/n Swan! If you're looking for that marimo, he's lost in the woods and I don't think he's coming back, I got here hours ago!"
It can't be, you thought as you stood restlessly on the spot, only until three hard knocks sounded from outside the boat, it was Zoro, he's scratched all over and worse still, he didn't seem to have any prey behind him, had he given in to Sanji?
"Zoro! What the hell happened?" The concern evident in your voice.
With a nervous smile he took something shiny out of his pocket that made your legs shake, it was your favorite gem that you told him was in your homeland and that you missed so much.
"....I was chasing that giant horned panther, when I saw these in a nearby stream, I know how important you said these were! so I didn't avoid looking for some, but when I turned around I lost my way... "

I SAW YOU DO HCs. Will you do Law and Zoro with an SO who accidentally woke them up from a nap? Than you!
((this caught me off guard; thanks for requesting!))
S/O Waking Partner From Their Nap
Characters: Law, Zoro Warnings: mild cussing (like 3 curses), mostly fluff
GN!Reader, everything used for the reader is neutral
ZORO
- Honestly he's pretty used to be woken up from his naps.
- Actually, it's more surprising you managed to wake him up without it being an actual emergency.
- You saw him sleeping in the yard and decided to swing down for a quick look.
- But, then you're in the air.
- Luffy ended up launching into you, laughing about wanting to play something before you both realized you were in a free fall.
- That was a whole lot of screaming for a few seconds.
- You didn't hit the ground though. Sure, you were now being squeezed, but that was better than the grass.
- Maybe.
- When you looked up the Captain's face had met with Zoro's hand. His other arm was wrapped around you.
- "Can't you both keep it down? I'm tryin' to sleep."
- Luffy apologizes; he doesn't look apologetic.
- Zoro's decidedly too tired to deal with it. Sometimes it was better to walk away anyway.
- Though maybe he could have put you down when he decided to do that?
- You're decidedly too interested in where you're going to put up a fight this time around.
- He carries you away from Luffy (who was complaining about him stealing you) with a huff and finds a more reclusive spot. "Nap with me," he stated. "Don't want you gettin' into trouble if I'm not there."
- You tease him about how soft he's being.
- "Shuddup," he grumbled, messing up your hair and kissing your forehead. "I ain't soft for no one. This is just punishment for wakin' me up."
- You want to call him a liar, but he's already out. So, you curl up against him and join him in dream land.
LAW
- Let's be real, he doesn't nap often as it because he doesn't sleep.
- The crew had finally convinced him to go lie down after a stressful day and that was a win!
- Then they told you to go check on him a few hours later and that was a lose.
- "Come on, (Y/N)! Law loves you, he won't be mad if you wake him up!"
- The wonder twins kept claiming that, but shame on you if you don't believe them.
- You just didn't want to disturb the little sleep he got, but here you go anyway (after a lot of literal pushing).
- You walk into Law's room, very quietly, and quickly make your way to the bed.
- Still breathing? Yep. Still asleep? Yep.
- You turn on your heels to get out as fast as possible, taking one more look back.
- Woah does he look cute. It's almost surreal to actually see him sleeping.
- fUCK YOU TRIP
- Oh never mind you're on something soft.
- A moment passed and then you quickly realized your situation, scrambling to get up.
- "Calm down already," Law sighed, reaching over and gently patting your forehead. "I'll toss you to the floor otherwise."
- You calm for a moment to thank him for saving you and then proceed to apologize profusely in the same panicked tone.
- He's just content messing with your hair and watching you talk though.
- Really he's waiting for you to shut up, but he's not complaining. Well, mentally he's not.
- "(Y/N), you're too loud for such an echoey room. Why don't we enjoy the peace before everyone comes looking for you?" he suggested.
- You both did rarely get peace... So, you agree.
- Thus, he pulls you close and you both enjoy a rare few minutes of intimacy and calm before the door slams open and the captain returns to his duties, blaming the rest of the crew for waking him up.

Heya! Can I get a headcanon with Luffy, Zoro, and Shanks, walking in you guy's bedroom while your changing? Thank you! (。・ω・。)
ofc, thank u for requesting!!
One Piece men accidentally walking in on you changing pt.2
part 1
-> with shanks, mihawk & luffy
Tumblr media
Shanks
never heard of something called „knocking“
literally bursts into your room just to bring you some snacks
shock when he sees
mouth open for a moment, trying to understand the situation
doesn’t take too long
cheesy pick up lines come right after
asks if he can stay
tries to hide his blush by laughing or teasing you
probably talks about it 24/7 (but would stop it if you tell him to)
he just thinks it’s funny how you reacted (lmao look at urself)
„why are you even hiding your body, it’s so pretty??“ bro-
confesses that he can’t get you out of his mind and that this coincidence ruined his whole act around you when he’s drunk
NOW ITS UR TIME TO TEASE HIM 😈
Mihawk
completely opposite of shanks
would never enter your room without knocking
but let’s say he didn’t hear your no
instantly closes the door
like the second he sees ur bare arm or something
apologizes and says he’ll come later when u r done
acts rather calm bcs he didn’t see anything
BUT LETS SAY HE SAW EVERYTHING HEHEHE
obviously still goes out instantly but this time he can’t act like nothing happened
probably needed a second when he got out to clear his mind
is embarrassed of himself when he thinks about it
even if you tell him it’s okay he still can’t look at you the same way as before
he’s so confused
Luffy
nothing happens
he just doesn’t care
bro saw boa naked and didn’t react, what do y’all hope for 💀
comes into your room, sees u r changing, talks about food
literally sits there and watches you
you have to tell him to get out and he still has the nerve to ask why
he just doesn’t see the point yk for him with & without clothes are the same
it happens daily so sanji has to watch him

Can we get some stuff recharging adult Lucky and Kaku? … asking for a friend.
anon I am gently kissing you on the forehead, thank you so much I have been wanting to talk about them since finishing Enies Lobby
under the cut because I am mentally ill about this man
When they meet, it's in the kitchen of the Going Merry when he comes to check out the ship. Lucky was already a little rattled from the Franky Family trying to jump them, so a strange man suddenly appearing on the ship definitely scares her a bit.
That, and the whole Enel situation happened like not even a week ago.
She freezes and stares at him when he walks in, and he isn't doing any better. He just came to do an evaluation on a ship and now he's finding this poor, battered woman cowering in one of the rooms.
He snaps out of it and is quick to explain who he is and why he's there. Once she's calmed down and realized she isn't about to be attacked again, he steps closer and asks in a hushed tone if she needs help. Rescuing people being held hostage on a pirate ship is hardly a first for Galley-La.
Her attempts to convince him that she is actually fine aren't particularly successful, but he doesn't force her to come with. He does talk her into showing him around the ship "just in case he misses something", but really he's just worried Zoro is going to do something to Lucky when he isn't looking.
Just as he's leaving, he slips a piece of paper into her pocket. It's hastily jotted down directions to Dock 1 if she changes her mind. Lucky is somewhat charmed. While his concern was ultimately unnecessary, it was very sweet of him.
Kaku, meanwhile, is having a crisis. Being able to shut down and disregard emotions is something he had to get good at in his line of work, so why could he not get Lucky out of his head? Why does he feel like he needs to go back and save her? He puts it aside, but just barely.
It keeps building as the arc progresses and further encounters make him feel even more hot under the collar. He went out of his way to bring her some lunch while also covertly doing CP9 stuff because she mentioned wishing she could've tried this one particular food Water 7 was known for. He's down bad and has no idea what to do.
Ultimately, he leaves her behind when their cover is blown and they all head to Enies Lobby, but when she comes there... His resolve breaks. Clearly this is meant to be, why else would she have come here despite the danger? She was meant to be his. She wants this as bad as he does.
After being defeated by Zoro, he uses the last of his strength to find and bring her with him. He's 100% ready to leave everything behind just to be with her. This doesn't work out thanks to Lucky having an impact dial on her, but even after taking such a vicious blow, he's still attempting to reach out to her.
Kaku hates who and what he is. He never asked to be an assassin, none of them did, but he could never fully settle into the roll. A part of him always resented the people who did this to him. Who forced him to live such a horrible life when he could have been normal if they'd laid eyes on anyone but him.
Lucky is his second chance. She's an opportunity to run away and restart his disaster of a life. To experience the normalcy he had up until now thought would only ever be a fantasy.
All he wants is to walk away from all this and be a normal, happy couple living a refreshingly mundane life. Sure, it wouldn't be completely normal, they would have to move around constantly to evade detection from the world government that would absolutely be looking for him, but it's nothing they can't persevere through together.
The thing he wants most is a family. The memories of his own family from his childhood are so far away and unclear that he isn't even entirely sure they're real or just something he came up with to make himself feel better. But now, with Lucky, he could have something indisputably real. Their children would be as adorable as they would be loved, that's what he tells her when he's trying to force convince her to come with him.
Kaku is delusional to an extreme. He only ever sees Lucky as a victim of circumstance that is so traumatized from her past that she can't be trusted to make good decisions for herself. That's why she needs a little push, he tells himself.
Please ask me more about him, I'm obsessed as you can probably tell.

The fact that we don't know what Cross Guild is up-to currently is really killing me though, because like
Yeah, last time we saw them Buggy started a mutiny, and we don't know how that panned out. But also, between then and now, the news about the Strawhats "holding Vegapunk hostage" while being bunkered down in Egghead surrounded by a Marine fleet have spread over the world, not to mention Vegapunk's broadcast. We don't know how CG reacted to the news when they broke out, nor do we know if they're going to watch Vegapunk's broadcast (if they even have a video DenDen Mushi to view it). And I'm so curious about that, how they feel about the news
Like for one, as I've discussed about a bajillion times already, I'm curious about Buggy's mutiny, I do wanna know how things going for the clown and how the other two reacted to him throwing a fit. And I'm curious if Mihawk's at all concerned about his sweet baby apprentice getting into some serious trouble with his silly captain. Like probably not, Mihawk doesn't seem like the type who'd get worried about Zoro, but y'know. I'm curious
But. Like. Yeah. As a Crocodad Truther, of course I wanna know if Crocodile is slowly losing his fucking marbles with concern over The Shit Luffy's gotten himself into this time. It's not like Crocodile can do anything about the situation, he's god knows how far away on a whole different island and all with no way to get to Egghead (+he has a whole ass mutiny to deal with and Mihawk probably wouldn't be pleased about Crocodile suddenly pissing off, and you know Mihawk would not want anything to do with the shit going down at Egghead, dude just wants to chill). And even if Croc did somehow show up to Egghead (which he won't) what kind of a fucking excuse would he need to come up with for suddenly showing up to Luffy's aid???? Like there's nothing he can do except wait for the next newspaper in utter horror, drenched in cold sweat while the clown is causing absolute havoc in the background. Like we saw how fucking angry Crocodile was when Buggy made his mutiny announcement, and that's just how his day started, imagine how much worse it's about to get for the man.
Tumblr media
Now to be fair, there is a possibility Buggy's mutiny could have forced Cross Guild out onto the waters (the men are riled up and not even Buggy might be able to calm them down rn, and if so, Croc and Hawk might just have to roll with it for now). Meaning they could be sailing pretty much anywhere right now- of course if Buggy wanted the One Piece they need the Road Poneglyphs so Zou, Whole Cake Island and Wano would be options. But also, hey, if Crocodile wanted he might be able to force the ship to head towards Egghead instead.
But also, to be realistic, because the Egghead-arc is so close to wrapping up, there is no way Cross Guild's showing up on the island anymore AT THIS FUCKING POINT IN THE STORY. Luffy and co are just about to flee to Elbaf with the giants so it'd be absurd for them to show up at this point, it'd be straight up pointless (unless they showed up to act as a distraction so the Strawhats could flee without getting pursued, but like there's no way Crocodile could convince Mihawk and Buggy to help with that. And I feel like I'm trying too hard to come up with an excuse for them to show up when they don't have to)
I just wanna know how Croc's taking the latest news about the Strawhats okay I'm curious how things are going for themmm

I've discussed it before and since one of my older post about is it being liked again, I'll discuss it again!
Feral Zoro
Feral Zoro gives me so feelings.
The crew goes nuts during battle sometimes and that's not something you can just turn off. And sure, the others can be wild and fierce but Zoro has battle carved in his bones. The rumble of war drums and old prayers said before battle to wrathful gods are all layered in his pulse.
And all that desire, that relentless fury and strength, went from protect myself and my dream to protect them and their dreams.
Protect Luffy.
Nami.
Sanji.
Usopp.
Robin.
Chopper.
Franky.
Brook.
Jinbei.
Sunny.
I imagine that mantra is louder than anything else during those fights, the urge to protect and defend.
Don't you dare let them get past you. Don't you even think of losing this fight. You have to be the best because if you aren't that means someone else is... And what if that person is the enemy?
Failure is not an option because someone is relying on you.
You can cry with grief until your eyes are swollen and dry like the world feels at that moment, or curse every god you can think of with snarled anger at the sky, or let yourself drift away for a little while all the agony and pain you put your body through comes racing in with thunderous noise, later.
But now... Right now you hold it together.
There is no other option.
You stop when your blood has soaked into the earth so much it's started pooling on the surface or until your body gives up and moving is almost a foreign word.
You can rest when they do. When they are safe. You don't stop before then because you can't.
And while I think Luffy is fantastic at leaving it all out in the field, Zoro really lets himself slide into that mindset in a way far different from Luffy.
And I can't imagine it's easy to settle down after those battles. I'm not talking about the small battles or the ones where they leave a little beat up but okay overall.
No.. I'm talking about the ones that change them. Where at some point, or perhaps multiple, the thought crosses their mind that this might be it.
I've never been in a situation like that obviously, but I know how I get when I get anxious and overwhelmed. Even once the problem is fixed and things settle back down, I'm running around checking on things and watching everything. Heart still ready to start running laps again and nerves pulled tight.
That's a work environment. Granted a very important and stressful work environment but no one will die at my job. My loved ones will not be hurt because of something I do or don't do at work.
Now take that to a scale that comprises of the big battles they've had. That's a whole lot of feeling and adrenaline to just let go of.
And I love after fights where the crew just kind of all go limp and happy because it's done and Luffy won because of course he did.
But...
I think Zoro probably paces a lot those nights, silent and one with the shadows. Heavy boots making the softest thud, the gentle chimes from his earrings, and the quiet noise his swords make as they knock against each other.
Pacing the deck over and over if they're on the Sunny.
Up and down hallways if they're someplace different.
Even around the room.
He just embodies that caged tiger vibe.
They can't rush him. He has to relax on his own but they all help.
He's a little unpredictable and wild eyed like this but they're not scared of him, could never be truly scared of someone who is such a huge part of who they are.
They settle him like a tiger.
With space to spread his legs and get out any extra energy. They let him pace his territory and check on them, even though tigers aren't pack animals. They coax him into the kitchen to eat and replace the energy his body burned through, even though he doesn't register he's hungry. They patch him up with slower movements than normal and try to calm him each time he tenses up and his muscles jump.
Sometimes he stays bloody and raw until several hours later, when he's finally calm enough to take off all the grime and blood like it was a final layer of armor left from the battle.
Sometimes it takes longer, and they wait it out with him until he's ready to come back.
And they'll die before they tell anyone but Zoro's a cuddler, especially after episodes like that. Cat like cuddles all the way.

Trusting Touch Nico: Robin X Reader
Tumblr media
______________________________
Warnings:
None really
______________________________
Reader POV
We had just left Alabasta and found out that Crocodiles right hand woman Miss All Sunday or now known as Robin had snuck onto our Ship and wants to join our crew. Usopp was conducting an interview, asking about her skills and abilities. She explains she has the powers of the flower flower fruit which grants her the ability to sprout different parts of her body like flowers. She demonstrates her abilities by playing around with Luffy and Chopper. Luffy, Sanji and Chopper seem to take to her almost instantly and accept her as a new member, meanwhile Usopp, Nami and Zoro are still more suspicious of her since she worked with the enemy before joining. I'm still indifferent towards her and this whole new member situation.
After Robin uses her powers with Chopper and Luffy to make silly faces Usopp cracks and joins them now seeming to be okay with Robin. Nami cracks when Robin hands her a pouch filled with gold and becomes happy. She goes to speak to Zoro and I'm not sure what they said but he seems slightly calmer now. Well that's good, it seems like she's gotten approval from the crew so I guess she's our new member. It's nice to have another girl around, she's not gonna replace Vivi of course but it's still nice to have another girl around in a crew filled with men. I sat on an empty crate near the railings staring out into the ocean, Alabasta had been extremely stressful and I think I did something to my back during the fight so I'm constantly trying to move to make my back comfortable. That's when I notice Robin coming towards me with a small smile.
"Hey, I think I've talked to everyone already except for you, correct?" She said in a calm tone." "Yeah, we haven't talked yet. Is there anything you want to talk about?" I ask back. "I want to show you I'm not a threat and you can trust me. Is there any specific way I can gain your trust?" she asks. "Not sure, can't really think of anything" I say while rubbing my back, she seemed to notice and smiled again. "I see you hurt your back, did something happen back in Alabasta?" "Yeah, while fighting I was hit into a building and stuffed up my back, wish I got a massage or something before we left." She chuckles and crosses her hands, "Let me help with that." Suddenly two pairs of arms appear behind me, two hands start rubbing my lower back while the other two rub my shoulder blades. The hands work carefully and gently to rub my back and take away the pain from the battle.
I was a little startled at first but quickly relaxed into the touch of her hands as they worked away my stress and pain. "Robin your hands are like magic, your powers are perfect for relaxing~" I say as I let out a soft moan. "Yet also, the perfect power for assassination~" Robin says with a small smirk. My eyes widen as I think about how well her power is for assassination. She chuckles and speaks, "Don't worry, I don't plan on snapping your neck~" I let out a sigh of relief and relaxed into the massage again. After a few minutes the hands disappear and I stand up, "Thank you so much for that. I really needed that." "Of course, I hope now you can see I'm not a threat and that you can one day trust me as a member of the crew." She smiles sweetly. "Actually I trusted you from the beginning." She looks surprised. "I trust Luffy's decision so if the captain trusts you the I trust you, so really you didn't need to do that but I still appreciate it." She chuckles again, "I see. So you conned me into giving you a massage?~" "I didn't mean to but who's gonna pass up a free massage?" We both chuckle and I suddenly feel a slap on my ass. I turn to see what slapped me and saw one of Robin's hands quickly disappearing from behind me. I hear her laugh and turn back to her with a playful grin. "You better not do anything like that again~ Well I'm glad you trust me and I hope to get along well as a fellow member of the crew." She says as she turns away and walks away.
I like this new member, she seems nice and really smart and I hope we can get closer in the future. To be honest, I only have good feelings about this new member and what she'll bring to the crew.
______________________________
That's another one for now. I started water seven yesterday and to be honest I am not having fun, I'm definitely gonna add Frank, Lucci and Akoiji to my list of people I'm gonna write for. Next fic is going to be another Crocodile X Reader so look forward to that and I'll see you in the next post

Trafalgar Law x reader
💌 Fake it till you make it: Chapter 9  💌  
Summary:  To avoid an arranged marriage set up by Doflamingo, Law needs to bring home a girlfriend during the Christmas break and you just so happen to be a theatre major in the same dorm at One Piece University. What could possibly go wrong?  
Tropes: College AU, Fake Dating, Idiots in love
💌 Word count: 4,531 💌 <= Previous Chapter | Next Chapter =>
Tumblr media
It had been a few days since you got back from Dressrosa and the news of Law’s engagement had spread across social media like wildfire. It was posted all over click bait channels and anytime either of them made a public appearance they were seen together. You stopped looking at the photos after seeing the first few. Once you cleared your head and your eyes it was painfully obvious to you by the expression on Law’s face that he didn’t choose to be there but it still didn’t explain his rash behavior. You spoke with the rest of the gang about it in the morning since you had calmed down after seeing the surgeon last. If not for your own sake than for Corazon’s. There’s not much anyone could do without some sort of leverage in this situation so it was best to wait and gather as much information as possible but that was proving hard to do. There was nothing you could do without someone on the inside and with Corazon’s condition it was nearly impossible since no one else has a family in the same social circle. Sanji was your best bet and he seemed to be slowly chipping away at Pudding’s facade but who's to say what her true feelings and intentions are. It’s not like anyone knew who she was before everything happened anyhow.
The reasoning for the engagement was still a mystery from her side as well and you’re not going to lie it's starting to look like both Law and Pudding hate each other's guts. Which was odd considering your first few interactions together seemed like she was trying to steal Law away from you. The media doesn't see it that way. The articles always talk about how sweet and romantic young love is but the look they give each other, to you looks like they're on each other's last nerve. Bepo, Shachi and Penguin have been in frequent contact with Law since that night but he was generally a private person and some things never change. Luffy still wants to kick Doflamingo’s ass and has mentioned that no matter what the plan is he intends to do it regardless. The prospect of him going through with it scares everyone monumentally. After Nami's old landlord, the Crocodile incident and the government trying to revoked Robin's dual citizenship Luffy was already batting a hundred taking on big name corporations. Despite Luffy prevailing at each event, the chaos he created stressed everyone out severely which was why they were all terrified. Everyone except for maybe Zoro, he was just as rash as Luffy when it came to these kinds of things.
It all made your head spin. Being logical in this regard just left you more and more confused. Things still didn't add up from your point of view. There was no motivation from anyone or well none that made a lick of sense other than Doflamingo being an asshole just to be an asshole. Even then it still begged the question as to why this was his course of action. Sabo found it an interesting topic to discuss and you second that opinion because you can't see Law being good at running a toy empire. Sugar would definitely be a better choice for an heir. Sure Law was smart but he wasn’t into business or the industry as a whole. You couldn’t even imagine him dealing with kids since he didn't have the patience to be in pediatrics.
Speaking of patience, you were still seething over the turn of events but part of you was almost relieved that you could tell that Law was just as miserable. Or at least you hoped he was miserable. It was hard to say. Bepo,  Shachi and Penguin are your only sources of information and they're not sure how much you wanted to hear about your technical ex. Personally you were still pretty upset and being given all this reassurance of Law’s self-sacrificing nature almost hurts more than being dumped out right but there was no use crying about it anymore. You had already agreed to meet with Bon Clay to work on a set for the bachelor party. If anyone could get him to talk it was you. The voice in the back of your head was screaming for you to take a page out of Luffy’s book and just beat the information out of Law yourself but you were better at dancing than fighting. Although nothing could have trained you for how exhausting learning pole dancing could be. You admired Bon Clay immensely after your first practice. It wasn’t that hard to pick up thematically but the execution was a different feat of its own. In order for you not to raise any suspicion with being involved in the bachelor party you practiced on campus. It turns out that the campus already had a dance hall with poles installed. There’s a lot of misconception with the world of pole and pole dancing but it’s an incredible full body workout and a competitive sport. In the end you weren’t perfect but with each day you were getting better at it. Your mind was so preoccupied with it that you almost forgot that you had agreed to be Pudding’s maid of honor.
She texted you wanting to meet for lunch to discuss your so-called “duty” as maid of honor. Nami and Robin offered to go with you but you waved them off. You needed to go alone so you could get to the bottom of this once and for all. You were running out of time and you had to do something. Pudding had requested you meet at a small cafe on campus run by the culinary majors. You had always wanted to go but money was an issue, you scowled, that doesn’t matter now. It ticked you off beyond belief but a few hours earlier you had received an email that someone had wired you an exuberant amount of funds. It was under the Donquixote name but you could only assume that it was Law actually sticking to his word that he would pay you for your services in Dressrosa. It made you feel uneasy because on one hand, DAMN YOU'RE WORTH A LOT but also you are not quite sure if you should be proud of that. Furthermore, what a lame way to say it’s over. When you told the boys about it, Penguin only shrugged and showed you the text he received. There was a chance he was trying to take a stab at Doflamingo, although in the end it made you roll your eyes. Genuinely you could not understand what was going through the surgeon's head.
As you waited for Pudding you ordered some tea. She managed to show up by the time it arrived. "Were you waiting long?" She asked as she leisurely ordered, smiling like nothing had happened between the two of you. You added on a few pastries for the fuck of it before answering her. "I was, days in fact. Actually scratch that, it's more like weeks isn't it." You planned on giving her an earful. If you were going to suffer as her maid of honor you were at least going to get something out of it. Pudding only leaned back in her chair grinning at your response. "Look at you, you did notice. You should have said something."
You folded your arms across your chest, god the audacity of this bitch. "If you recall I did, you knew Law was my boyfriend."
She clicked her tongue at you "Well I was supposed to marry him more than six months ago but he ran away before even meeting me. Do you know how bad that's deemed for someone of my status?"
You scoffed "Big whoop, he stood you up. By the looks of it he did you a favor." You pulled out your phone sharing the best pictures displaying their obvious disdain for each other. "What happened to that clingy lovey dovey act you had at new year's. Aw was acting too hard for the pastry princess." you mocked in a pitying tone. You were going to sass the hell out of Pudding. Hopefully the more buttons you pushed the more information she’d spew just so she can have the last laugh. It wasn’t a perfect plan but it seemed to be working so far.
"Watch yourself. (Y/N), I can ruin your career before you even have a chance at life." She took a sip of her drink. "If you must know, originally I planned to make him fall in love with me and then break his heart but I miscalculated."
You rolled your eyes looking at your nails trying to be smug as fuck. "And you are telling me this because?" You drew out the last syllable rolling your eyes.
You could see you struck a nerve by the way she almost faltered but she cackled smiling almost maniacally. "I'm going to make his life miserable the same way he made mine and you can do nothing but watch. With front row seats too!"
At least that answers one question. You kept up your act brushing her off. "Cool and why would I care?"
"You might be a good actor but even you can't hide the fact you do love Law" she twirled her fork around before stabbing into the strawberry shortcake she ordered “It’s sickening really watching you pine after him.”
"Again and? I never said I didn't and you're one to talk, you have a crush on like Sanji of all people. So why does it matter?” That seemed to catch her off guard as she choked on her tea. She was too flustered trying to defend herself that she didn’t notice the pure reaction of shock on your part. You weren’t really trying to take a dig at Sanji, Sanji’s a great guy but he gets really weird around women at times. Regardless you were mostly joking, making fun of the two for hanging out all the time since meeting. “You’ve gotta be kidding me” you stare at her waiting.
She coughed trying to regain her repose “A-absolutely not! I-I’m just using him! Like you he’s just another pawn.” she paused to wipe her mouth with a napkin as dignified as she could. "Besides that's not what we're here to discuss." She handed you a thick three ring binder that has definitely seen better days. It was a faded pink suggesting its age, covered in stickers, flowers, hearts, and in big bold cursive lettering it read "Pudding's dream wedding planner."
She cleared her throat, diverting your attention from the book. Pudding almost seemed embarrassed blushing lightly as she tried to delegate you new tasks "Memorize everything in there and make sure things run smoothly. We have a dress fitting tomorrow and I've already picked out a day for the bachelorette party next week." You flipped through the pages of the moodboard style scrapbook. She must have been planning this since she was a kid. It had pictures of her big family with some of them crossed off presumably of who she didn't want to be in attendance. Favorite flower arrangements, songs, colors, cake designs you name it they were in there. The only thing that was oddly empty was the page titled bachelorette party. She must have seen you question the blank page because her posture shrunk ever so slightly inwards.
"It's traditional for the maid of honor to plan the events for the actual party itself. I invited Law's sisters and I was hoping you could invite Robin and Nami. It's okay if they say no. I understand I just don't want to invite any of my siblings."
You were surprised Pudding almost felt human in that moment right before she laid down a whole laundry list of things she absolutely detested and would rather die than part take in. You rolled your eyes "That doesn't leave a lot of options left. At this point I should just rent the Baratie and a karaoke machine and call it a night." Astonishingly she didn't hate the idea. Sanji must have told her about the place because she didn’t ask a lot of questions regarding the establishment. Conveniently all you had to do was send a quick text to Sanji and everything was arranged. Pudding checked the message before you sent it to make sure you didn’t pull any funny business. Little does she know you sent a second message while you pretended to put your phone away. You’ve heard that it’s common to book a stripper for this kind of event, instead you asked Sanji about the possibility of being a sexy bunny girl. As expected his response was something akin to “I can do a sexy bunny butler take it or leave it.” You only wish you could have seen his reaction to the message in person. You’re not sure why you’ve decided to put effort into your role. You could have easily put her through the ringer but it seemed to be more entertaining this way.
It turns out that when Pudding isn’t deciding to be a bitch she can actually be a decent human being. You ended up talking more about nonsensical things after everything was said and done. Had you met under different circumstances you might have actually been friends. Which brought up a good point skimming through the planner it didn’t seem like she had any. She definitely didn’t talk about any either but that’s not your problem. Personally your upbringing was also pretty shit but you didn’t take it out on others but c'est la vie. At least you got something out of the meeting. Although you were not sure what to make of the big picture just yet.
The next morning you were relieved to see Shachi, Bepo and Penguin getting ready to leave for Dressrosa. Interestingly enough their suit fittings overlapped with your dress fitting. Which meant that Law and Pudding were scheduled to have fittings at the same time. It was odd because you thought it was bad luck to see the bride in the gown before the wedding but it seems the place you were going to specialized in doing both fittings at the same time to make sure everyone matched. Apparently the owner of the place was a good friend of Giolla. Luckily they were already going otherwise you would have had to find your own way there and that would have been boring. This means you get to catch some extra sleep on the way. You could also mentally prepare for whatever bullshit awaited you.
That little voice in the back of your head still wanted to punch Law in his stupid brooding face. While you were known to act on impulse occasionally you were more concerned with not letting your emotions get the better of you. Law’s sisters were the other bride's maids and you were aware this was a set up. Pudding already revealed that she wanted to ruin your life as well as Law's so at this point you can't let her win. You wonder how Law’s going to react as you close your eyes and drift back to sleep.
On the other hand Law stirred from his slumber when he noticed an unfamiliar presence in his room. He woke up with a start as the entity whipped the curtains open blinding him as he tried to see who would disturb him. No one has bothered him since Corazon’s admission to the hospital. Everyone knew he didn’t want to be bothered and he's made it abundantly clear. Doflamingo was the only one who has recently pestered him but he usually only does so during the evenings. He frowned when he saw Pudding by the window. Law really wanted to roll over and act like nothing happened. Although he should be concerned that his family would just let Pudding into his room without his permission. At this point nothing really surprises him and he doesn’t know how he feels about that. He grumbled musing his hair before putting his hat on “Why are you here?”
Pudding jumped slightly not realizing the surgeon woke up “Am I not allowed to be here?” she smirked playfully as she rocked back on her heels “I would have thought my fiance would be happy to see me.” They both glared at each other for a moment.
“Let me make one thing clear. We might be getting married but that doesn’t make me your friend nor do I want to be. You are a nuisance and I have no obligation to entertain such an idea.” Law pulled himself out of bed to get ready for the day “I may keep up public appearances but outside of that I sincerely don’t give a shit what you do.”
She wanted to point out that he clearly had not been doing a good job but instead went for a better insult. “Wow, Do you kiss (Y/N) with that mouth?~ Here I thought you were supposed to be a gentleman.” She smiled wide and it reminded him of Doflamingo.
He frowned “Cut the crap, your childish facade doesn’t fool me, just tell me why you're here so I can move on with my life.” He started getting out of bed making it, almost hoping she would just leave him alone.
“Ugh, I really don’t know what she sees in you but whatever. Our fittings are today or did you forget.” Pudding leaned against the wall still looking out the window.
"I didn't forget, as I said before I don't care.” He pulled out some clothes from his dresser. “We don't have to arrive together, it's not like we scheduled a publicity stunt." He already told Bepo, Shachi and Penguin to meet him there as long as he made it there at some point no one could say anything about it. He's been putting in the bare minimum and hasn't been scolded yet. Not that it would change his demeanor. He's just fortunate that Doffy hasn't made any more threats for him to change his current behavior. Still he can't afford to let his guard down.
Law dressed into casual clothes. He was going to be trying on suits for a good portion of the day so he might as well be comfortable while he still could. He didn't indulge in any more of Pudding's banter as he left her to follow him out. His sisters were waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs playfully teasing him making snide remarks about one thing or another. Law could already tell he was going to hate the experience all together.
As they arrived at the location, Law's phone rang giving him a reason to stay outside. He wanted to prolong this as much as possible. It wasn’t an important call but he pretended it was making the scammer on the other end of the line confused. He hung up once his sisters and Pudding entered the building. He decided to go for a walk. The girls were most likely going to take longer than he was anyway, what's the point of waiting around for them to finish. He also wanted to prove a point by showing up late. Law doesn't like being told what to do.
Bepo, Shachi and Penguin were lounging around waiting for Law while you sorted through Pudding's wedding binder. You might as well make yourself useful while you wait for everyone to show up. You had shown the seamstress the styles that Pudding selected and were helping pull some possible dresses that fit the look Pudding wanted.
When you turned back around you were jumped by Baby 5 "(Y/N)!!! I've missed you!" She hugged you tight as she nuzzled into you. Sugar, Monet and Pudding were close behind waiting for their turn to give you a hug. As Monet went in for her hug she whispered into your ear "Law might be off the market but I'm free if you're interested." She winked at you as she pulled away. You blushed unsure if she was joking or trying to pull a fast one on you. She had a devilish grin as she walked by which didn’t help you figure it out in the slightest. Sugar was too busy eating grapes but she still smiled and waved at you while Pudding was looking at the dresses you picked for her.
"These are gorgeous. I don't know which one to try on first!"
A little part of you took pride in her comment which made you realize, where was Law? You looked over at Shachi and Penguin as an assistant talked with Bepo they both shrugged at you. It wasn’t your problem so you sighed and turned your focus back to your fitting. Pudding wanted the bride's maids to be in a light lavender dress that was short in the front but longer in the back. The style of the bust she didn't care that much as long as you all agreed on one uniform style she was fine letting you guys make the decision. You're not sure how long you all had been trying on dresses for but you were on your sixth or seventh dress when Baby 5, Monet and Sugar finally agreed on one everyone liked. Pudding was still deciding between two and the main stylist said this is where seeing it next to everyone will help. They had a specific divider where Pudding could stand and not be seen by anyone else while they took a mock photo of what it could look like on the day. Everyone was about to get into place when the rest of the group realized Law still wasn't around.
Pudding grumbled clutching her phone. Allegedly he was on the phone when they walked in but it had been at least an hour since arriving. Thirty more minutes passed before the girls started fuming. You're not going to lie, it was pretty irritating that he was seemingly wasting everyone's time because he didn't want to be there. You didn't want to be here either but you sure as shit weren't going to be the reason it dragged on longer than it has to. The boys started calling him and panicked from being scolded by Law’s sisters. Pudding looked like she was going to wring someone's neck and since she couldn't walk outside the divider to strangle one of the boys you feared it might end up being you. Luckily that's when Law showed up. He froze when he walked in staring at you for a moment longer than you would have liked before his sisters started a yelling match. You wanted to lecture him too but you huffed and turned away not wanting to give him the satisfaction. Especially when he refused to acknowledge you at the hospital. Instead you glared at him from a far while helping Pudding calm down from wanting to kill someone.
After Pudding reviewed the pictures the choice was clear. She chose her dress and everything was set. Everyone started to change out when you were grabbed by the arm. The girls were already in the dressing room and so were Bepo, Shachi and Penguin.
"What are you doing here?"
His tone confused you but you couldn’t control your frustration anymore "Oh so now you're talking to me!" Like always his expression was unreadable as ever. You scoffed "Don’t flatter yourself I'm not here because of you, Pudding asked me before the announcement was made!" You made sure to control your volume. You didn't want the others to hear your altercation but you were still aggravated about ready to foam at the mouth. Law let your arm go turning away from you. "That’s no excuse you shouldn't have accepted the offer."
You grit your teeth "And you shouldn't have wasted people's time!" You snapped storming off before you genuinely start something you know you couldn't finish. Penguin saw you walk off giving you a worried look as Law finally went to change.
You put on a fake smile and ignored the looks you got from the others as they passed you. They were giving you their farewells until the bachelorette party. You could really go for a drink right about now. You weren’t the kind of person to drink away your sorrows but at this point you didn't know how to feel. Things would be easier if you moved on but everyone was trying so hard for your sake. Going out of their way to help you get Law back, but is that even what you want anymore. As you walked back out it was just Bepo, Shachi and Penguin left standing there. They were tense, presumably they heard or were assuming what happened between you and Law when everyone was changing.
You sighed "When we get back to our side you guys want to hit up a club or something? I could really use a drink." No one questioned you, only nodding in response. You guys hit the dorms before going back out to see if anyone else wanted to come and not surprising anyone in the slightest Luffy managed to overtake the night by throwing a banquet at the dorms. Sabo said he'd look the other way, which he does often about alcohol in the dorms. Since Luffy does not like the taste of alcohol Sanji has been accustomed to making cocktails for those who still wanted the option.
This is how you ended up drunk sandwiched between Luffy and Ace fumbling around in their stupid impromptu kickline. Everyone was having a good time and it was the kind of thing everyone needed as midterms were approaching. Ace fell back on the couch taking you and Luffy down with him causing you to yelp and Luffy to laugh. You tried to get up but Luffy refused to let you leave the group hug as your struggles brought you all to the floor. Before you knew it he coaxed everyone to join the group hug somehow. You hadn’t even realized you started crying but unlike the last few times these tears weren’t so sorrowful. You felt at home here and you wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. That’s when you heard Luffy whisper “We’ll bring Torao back, whatever it takes.” Looking around seeing everyone’s smiles made you believe it was actually possible. You couldn’t help curling your lips up too “Whatever it takes.”
“I see, my apologies I will see to it personally.” Doflamingo put the phone down, his usual grin wiped from his face. It seems he wasn’t clear with Law the consequences of his actions. Doffy opened the file with (Y/N)’s picture paperclipped to it. He would be making some calls later and he wondered how the girl would handle it. It excited him. It's been a while since he’s had a play thing he didn’t select for himself. He chuckled darkly at the thought. Law had good taste, at least he managed to do something right.

Part 14: Kitchen
Dinner and a Murder: A Mr. Prince Mystery Masterpost
“How about the kitchen?” Sanji says as he follows after Luffy, “It’s as good a place to start as any.”
“Alright,” Zoro follows dutifully after him, but sends him a knowing look, “I bet you just want to ask Nami why she sent Luffy to the library.”
Sanji laughs, his gaze warm as it lands on Zoro, “Maybe. You’ve got the makings of a pretty good detective if you keep this up.”
Zoro chuckles too, “I learned from the best.”
That warm feeling spreads through him, and he gets the urge to reach out and grab Zoro’s hand.
Before he can act on it, a scream echoes across the house, stopping them in their tracks.
Luffy comes racing around the corner, his face pale and his eyes darting everywhere before landing on them.
“Sanji, quick, I need you,” Luffy grabs his wrist and pulls him away, then almost immediately stops short and glances over his shoulder, “But I didn’t do it.”
Sanji frowns, the unease in his stomach spreading, “Do what?”
Luffy bites his lip, then takes off running again, dragging Sanji along with him, Zoro not far behind.
They arrive at the kitchen only to find Nami’s lifeless body on the floor.
Sanji stares in shock, hardly able to believe it. He had thought they were safe, that the killer wouldn’t dare strike again while they were all on high alert, but he’d been wrong, and it cost Nami her life.
He glances over at Zoro, who is looking just as distraught as Sanji feels, his face pale and his fists shaking as he clenches them at his sides.
Sanji steps forward and kneels next to her, his fingers on her neck to try and find a pulse, but comes up with nothing. A check of her mouth and nose for breathing produces the same results.
By this time Usopp, Law, and some of the household staff arrive at the scene, no doubt drawn out by the screaming.
Sanji shakes his head as he looks back at them, “She’s dead.”
“I knew it!” Usopp is the first to shout, pointing a shaking finger at Luffy as he backs up until he hits the wall, “You’re the killer!”
“What? No!” Luffy shouts, “I didn’t kill her!”
“We split into pairs specifically to prevent this from happening!” Usopp shrieks, “Sanji was with Zoro the whole time, I was with Law, and you were with Nami! Therefore you were the only one who could have killed her!”
“No, I wasn’t,” Luffy growls as he takes a threatening step forward, “Take that back!”
Sanji steps in to intervene before the situation gets worse, but before he can Zoro wraps an arm around his waist to hold him back.
“Calm down,” he says in a soft but demanding tone, “We don’t know what happened yet, and fighting each other is only going to make things worse.”
Sanji lights a cigarette as he surveys the scene. What Usopp said is true, since Zoro was with him, Sanji knows he didn’t kill Nami, and if Usopp and Law were together, that would rule them out too, which means the only one who had the opportunity was Luffy.
“What do you mean,” Law frowns as his gaze turns to Usopp, “we split into pairs?”
Usopp freezes, then lets out a nervous chuckle, “Haha, you’re such a kidder, Law.” He throws an arm over his shoulder, “Remember? That’s why I found you in the study? Sanji said we should split into pairs to keep an eye on each other?”
Law’s face darkens, “You didn’t find me in the study. I haven’t seen you – or anyone – since we parted after finding Ace’s body.”
The room goes silent. Sanji feels a headache coming on as he turns to Usopp.
“I’m going to ask you a question,” he says carefully, “And I need an honest answer. When we all split up after finding Ace’s body, did you go to the study with Law like you said you would?”
Usopp laughs again, flinching a little as Law shakes off his touch, “I…well, of course I…” He gulps, his eyes darting between all the angry glares pointing his way, “I…”
He sighs, and finally admits, “I went to hide in the lounge.”
Sanji growls as he rubs his temples, “So. You don’t have an alibi for Nami’s murder?”
“Wait, what?” Usopp gasps and waves his hands in front of him, “No no. No, I’m not a suspect, remember? I was with you during Ace’s murder! I’m the only one who couldn’t have done it!”
“That’s for Ace’s murder,” Sanji gestures towards Nami, “This is a whole new murder. There’s no indication that these murders were committed by the same person, and I haven't seen you since I last saw Nami.”
“And you’re the one who failed to pair up,” Law states as he crosses his arms, “Highly suspicious.”
“You weren’t paired up either,” Zoro points out, releasing Luffy now that he’s calmed down.
“I didn’t know we were pairing up,” he shrugs, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have left my partner.”
“The household staff was all together too,” Bon-Chan chimes in, “Not a single one of us was out of sight of someone else while we completed the search of the house.”
Sanji takes a deep breath, inhaling as much smoke as his lungs can hold before releasing it slowly.
“Since we all saw Nami alive when we found Ace, it’s obvious she died after we split up.” He reasons, then points at Usopp, Law, and Luffy, “Since Zoro and I were together the whole time, I need to know what you three have been up to since then.”
“Well, I was searching the kitchen like I told you,” Luffy says, looking up as he recalls his movements, “Then Nami came and said you said you wanted to get into the library, so I left to look for Bon-Chan to get the key.”
Sanji turns to Bon-Chan, “Is this true?”
“Yes,” Bon-Chan nods, “Luffy found me upstairs…I suppose about twenty minutes after we all split up, and asked for the library key.”
“I was searching with them,” Iva nods, “So I can confirm.”
“Yeah,” Luffy nods too, “Then I met you and Zoro just outside the library, and we talked for a bit.” His face falls, his gaze darting to Nami, “Then I went back to the kitchen, and found Nami…”
Sanji frowns as he mulls that over. With the timeline laid out, it would be hard but not impossible for Luffy to have killed Nami. But since Luffy was apparently the last to see Nami alive, there’s no guarantee that he didn’t kill her, then go to find the library key to establish an alibi.
Sanji turns to Usopp, “And you? The truth this time.”
He smiles shakily at Sanji, but it falls quickly under his stern look. Instead he rubs the back of his head, and at least has the decency to look sheepish, “I was going to go to the study…but I started thinking about murder and dying, and I just…” He sighs as he shakes his head, “I got scared. I went to the lounge to hide instead. I had a drink in there, and only came out when I heard the screaming.”
“And did anyone see you? Or did you see anyone?”
His eyes dart away, “No.”
Perfectly believable, but also completely unprovable. Usopp easily could have slipped out of the lounge and to the kitchen to kill Nami.
But Usopp is right; he does have an alibi for Ace’s murder. If he did kill Nami, that means Sanji is no closer to figuring out who killed Ace.
“Okay,” Sanji turns to Law, “And what about you?”
“I was in the study the whole time,” Law states, tapping his foot on the ground, “I didn’t know we were supposed to be partnered up. I haven’t seen anyone since we first found Ace. I only left the study when I heard the screaming over here.”
“Did you find anything in the study?” Zoro asks, and Sanji’s a little impressed with how quickly he’s picking this up.
“No,” Law sighs, his eyes darting away.
Sanji hums as he considers that. The study is on the opposite side of the house from the kitchen, so Law would have had to pass by him and Zoro in the billiard room or Usopp in the lounge, and would most likely have met Luffy fetching the library key sometime in the middle.
“Okay,” Sanji sighs as he lets out a stream of smoke, then turns towards Bon-Chan, “Have you finished searching the house?”
“Not yet,” they shake their head, “We still have a few rooms upstairs and the basement to search, but we’re just about done.”
“Good,” he nods, “Thank you. You keep at it.”
“Right,” they nod, and leave with the rest of the staff.
“As for you three,” he points his cigarette at Luffy, Usopp, and Law, “You need to stay together this time. No running off.” He gestures towards the dining room, “Wait in there while Zoro and I search the kitchen.”
“Aw,” Luffy pouts, “Why does Zoro get to help?”
“Because he’s the only one I know didn’t kill Nami,” Sanji growls, then glances at Zoro and blushes a little, “Also…he’s proven to be a good investigation partner.”
Zoro blushes too at his words, and can’t seem to fight the shy smile on his face.
“Investigation partner, huh?” Usopp shakes his head, but grabs Luffy’s arm and drags him to the dining room, “Okay, we’ll let you lovebirds get investigating.”
“It’s not like that,” Sanji growls, but he’s completely ignored as Law chuckles and follows after them, “It’s not!”
“Sure,” Law shrugs as he closes the door behind him, “you can call it whatever you want.”
Sanji grumbles under his breath as he turns back to Zoro. His face is still red, looking everywhere but Sanji, the small smile still on his face, making Sanji’s heart flutter.
Then his eye lands on Nami, and his face falls.
He looks back to Sanji, “So I’m not a suspect anymore?”
“For Nami’s murder,” he points his cigarette at him, “You’re still not in the clear for Ace’s.”
“Wow,” he shakes his head, “You really don’t trust anyone, huh?”
“Yeah, well,” he shrugs awkwardly as he leans against the counter, “Once you find out your then-fiancee only seduced you to try and hide her multiple murders, you start to lose faith in people.”
“Wait, what?” Zoro’s eye widens, his mouth falling open, “Shit, Curls, what happened?”
Sanji scowls, his gaze firmly on the floor. He really doesn’t want to talk about this, especially with Zoro, it had just slipped out. But now that it had, he couldn’t very well ignore it.
So he sighs and glances back at Zoro’s incredibly concerned expression, “I’d been investigating the Totland Killings, she found out and seduced me to try and throw me off her trail.” 
“Wait,” Zoro’s brow furrows, and he gasps when he makes the connection, “You were engaged to the Chocolate Killer?”
“Pudding Charlotte, yeah,” he rubs his temple, “The worst part is, it worked. I was madly in love with her and didn’t suspect her at all. She had me completely wrapped around her finger, and was using me the whole time.”
Zoro’s hand lands on his clenched fist, and he finds comfort in the warm contact.
“I’m sorry that happened to you,” he says as he rubs his thumb across his knuckles, “No one deserves to go through that. Especially you.”
“Yeah, well,” he’s blushing again, and he looks away, as if he can somehow hide it from Zoro, “I did catch her in the end, but only because she targeted my sister. If she hadn’t we’d probably be married by now.”
“Well,” Zoro leans in just a hair closer, but to Sanji it feels much closer, like his whole world suddenly became Zoro, “Can’t say I hate that outcome.”
Sanji swallows, and Zoro’s eyes dart down to his lips a moment before he slowly, almost reluctantly, pulls away.
“So,” Zoro gestures around the kitchen, “Where are we investigating?”
Sanji glances around the kitchen too. The last time he visited everything was neatly tucked away, but now one of the cabinets, one of the drawers, and the fridge are all slightly ajar, as if someone was rifling through them.
They seem like as good of places as any to start.
