Hi! I have a request : an headcanon of sabo, ace and law (separate) react to a usually shy reader asking to bath together ? (I don’t mind any pronouns by the way)
Anyway have a good day/ night and don’t forget to eat and hydrate !!
Ace x GN Reader Law x GN Reader Sabo x GN Reader SFW
Tumblr media
Ace
He laughed when he heard you ask to bathe together, not a mean laugh but one of disbelief. You were just so damn shy that hearing those words from you just tickled him.
Ace blinked a few times when you played with the hem of your sweater and avoided eye contact with him, that was when he stopped laughing and cleared his throat. 
“Really?” He asked and you nodded. When you did force yourself to stop staring at the floor and meet his eye you could see a dusting of blush across his freckled cheeks.
That was surprising. The way Ace talked to people, he would brag about flirting with people whenever the ship was docked. But he was shifting in place, the blush growing as he rubbed the back of his neck, mulling it over.
“Yeah, we can if ya wanna?” He wanted, needed, to hear you confirm again. He didn’t want to do anything that would make you feel uncomfortable.
“I do,”
Ace’s unsure smile soon turned into a big grin as he sprung up from his seat and offered you his hand. “Let's go then!” he said, winking, his usual confidence back in full swing once he knew this was your idea and you wanted this as much as him.
“I’ll try to behave,” he said with a playful waggle of his eyebrows which had you rolling your eyes with a chuckle, taking his hand and feeling him pull you eagerly in the direction of the bathroom.
Tumblr media
Law
“Excuse me?” He asked, pausing from what he was doing, setting down the book and looking at you. You felt the weight of his scrutinizing gaze as grey eyes peered into your soul, at least that's how you felt.
Trying not to shrink under the intensity of his stare you bit the inside of your cheek trying to summon up the courage to repeat yourself “I was just curious if you wanted to go have bathe together. I thought it would be romantic.. Relaxing…”
Law sat back in his seat and hummed. “That’s what I thought you said,” He clicked his tongue as he adjusted in his seat. Neither of you were very forward with such things so it had taken him by surprise when his normally shy partner asked such a thing.
“How about a shower instead? I don’t like baths, it’s st-” “Stewing in your own filth, I know, I know.” You grinned when he blinked at you after you finished his sentence. Law crossed his arms over his chest and just chuckled in response. “Yes, a shower sounds great.”
You felt your heart skip a beat, giddy that he had agreed and you watched him stand up, nodding for you to lead the way.
Tumblr media
Sabo
Sabo stared at you with wide eyes when you asked him that, it wasn’t so much that he knew you to be so shy it was his own hangups on his body. He rubbed his arms, scars hidden by the long sleeves as he looked around the room, not wanting to make eye contact with you.
“Really?” He asked, unsure himself. You seemed to deflate at how he was reacting, you thought he would be surprised to hear that coming from you but he seemed sort of against it which made you regret asking for such an intimacy with him.
“You don’t have to, I just thought it might be nice?” You shrugged your shoulders, trying to act like you weren’t upset by his beating around the bush on his way to refusing you.
“No, no, no, it’s not like that!” He waved his hands before grabbing your shoulders when you tried to back out of the situation. “I just… Not many people have seen how I look without clothes…” 
You worked it out, everything tumbled into place. It wasn’t you it was how he saw himself.
“Don’t worry about your scars, I love every part of you Sabo.” You said, gently reaching up to rub his cheek, feeling the scar that covered his face. “I promise.” You felt him place his hand on yours and he nodded. “Alright, let's do it,”

Beyond the sea
─Luffy x mermaid!reader
─Summary: Venturing outside the established limits made you meet what could be your soulmate, you are completely grateful for having disobeyed your father a little.
─Warnings: inspired by the movie ponyo.
SOOOO, this is a wonderful collab with @alicedash2, who had the idea, if you liked the topic you can check out her post too!! and Here is her Wattpad account in case you want content in portuguese! :p
Tumblr media
Luffy took firm steps across the uneven terrain, a frown lingering on his face as he huffed angrily, Ace and Sabo didn't let him go up to the treehouse, so he decided to go to the beach to see the ships that came and went from Foosha Village port, he swung his arms until he finally reached a small cliff, he went down a clear path where the rocks were more worn until he reached the shore and kicked the water, still a little annoyed with his brothers.
His eyes scanned the sea, seeing how Shanks' ship was near the port, he smiled when thinking about the redhead, he waited impatiently for him to tell him more stories about his adventures, and he would also ask him again to be part of his crew.
"Huh?"
His gaze stopped at something floating near his, childish curiosity urged him to get closer, regardless of whether his clothes got wet, he cringed because of how cold the water was but he continued until the water reached up to his thighs, looking sideways, he found a stick floating next to him, he used it to poke the floating thing until it turned over, it was a fish.
"What a strange fish, it has human face… will it be edible?"
He continued poking until he saw how the fish's eyes opened, while his gaze shone, yours darkened as you noticed how he woke you up from your nap, sipping some salt water, you spit it right in Luffy's face with impeccable aim.
"Hey!"
You laughed internally as you saw his change of mood, using his stick to get away from you, you bit it preventing him from hitting you, he began to shake it up and down, making you dizzy as you were still chewing on the wood, Luffy ended up falling to the ground, the water level already on his chest, you swam in circles around him studying the human while he wiped the water off his face, he laughed as he watched you do some tricks in the water, forgetting his previous anger with his brothers, he spent the afternoon next to you on the shore.
You had ventured out of the depths of the sea, in a moment of confusion on the part of your father, you managed to escape to be able to see what was beyond the depths of the oceans, you had always been warned that you should not go up, but curiosity of a child is much stronger.
You really liked listening to what the human said about everything he did on the surface, and he seemed to be entertained by the way you swam and played with some crustaceans that were nearby, you didn't even realize that night was falling until Luffy sneezed because the cold settled on his body.
Neither of you seemed to want to separate now that you had begun to enjoy each other's company, so the boy quickly went to look for a bucket where he could carry you. You waited patiently on the shore until you saw him appear with a big smile and a green bucket, balancing it in his hands, he filled it with water and you jumped into it, a little uneasy at the reduction in space.
"I'm sure Ace and Sabo will be so jealous that I found you first, I'll rub it in their faces for not letting me go up to the treehouse! Oh, and you have to splash them when you see them, that will be fun."
You listened in silence as he ranted about his family, attentive to every anecdote and fact, you smiled when you saw his house in the distance, the wood on the walls was a little splintered, the interior didn't have the best decoration either and everyone seemed to have already started eating dinner without wait for Luffy.
"Why is everyone eating without me!? I'm going to starve because Ace will eat everything!"
"Stop complaining kiddo, we left a separate plate for you, what do you have there, boy?" Dandan leaned over to see you swimming in circles in the bucket "Did you bring fish for us to cook?"
"No way! She is not food!"
Ace raised his face from the plate on which he had crashed, Sabo sighed, passing a napkin over his brother's stained cheeks, both looked curiously at what Luffy had in his hands and approached.
"What is-?"
When both brought their faces closer to the bucket, a stream of water soaked them completely, Luffy laughed at their surprised expressions while you jumped, hitting his hand in a weird “high five” for the joke. They calmed down a bit after that as hunger won out for now, your mouth watering and delighting at the meat that ─somewhat reluctantly─ Luffy shared with you, although he probably stole some from Sabo to give to you.
You returned to the surface often after that day, your father became suspicious of your disappearances, but your mother was a little more permissive, over time, you developed powers that allowed you to transform, you could become a human or a combination of human and fish, with legs and arms but being parts of an amphibian, your relationship with Luffy became closer to the point that you did nothing if not together, you were rarely separated from the boy unless you were in the depths of the sea.
Your relationship with Ace and Sabo also grew closer, you enjoyed their company, you appreciated the things they taught you, Ace gave you some self-defense lessons while Sabo helped you understand some concepts and provided you with valuable information about the terrestrial world.
Normally you would rather watch them do their fighting tournaments, because you weren't that interested, plus they didn't like it either because you always won, even though you defended yourself by saying that using your mermaid magic wasn't cheating, you didn't care enough and you decided to observe in silence and write down each one's victories.
You competed with Ace on which of the two of you fainted more times a day, the use of your powers drained every ounce of your being, and Ace's narcolepsy was in competition, Sabo kept track of how many times you fell asleep during a day, while the blonde protects his brother's head from being hit, Luffy usually holds your body close to him when you start to rub your eyes drowsily.
Like this time, you were both on the same cliff as the first time you met, Luffy hugged you, your head rested against his shoulder while your eyes struggled not to close, the sunset was very beautiful, although at first you were just here to flee from his brothers for playing a joke on them, the moment seemed to be perfect to watch how the sky was stained with warm tones.
Luffy mumbled your name as he saw you closed your eyes, shaking a little, he said something you weren't aware of, giving a lazy yawn, you rubbed your eyes, opening them to look at him.
"Can you… can you repeat what you said?"
He chuckled as he saw your almost passed out form in his arms, nodding.
"I said I would be the king of the pirates and I asked you if you wanted to be part of my crew, I bet not all pirates have mermaids as companions! Shanks at least doesn't have one on board…"
As if Luffy's excitement had awakened your consciousness a little and gotten rid of the tiredness in your mind, you lifted your head from his shoulder like an owl, gave him your best smile, nodding effusively, you grabbed his hands with a new glow in your eyes, you had always heard the three brothers arguing about pirates, thinking that Luffy would include you in his plans delighted you.
"Of course! I will crush the sea creatures that try to break our ship, I will help you be the pirate king Luffy!"
Luffy laughed vigorously, tightening the grip he still had on your hands, both of you shaking them in some kind of weird greeting, like an agreed promise.
It was something you planned to accomplish, although you didn't expect that time would pass so quickly, with some setbacks and incidents that you preferred not to remember, you looked at the cliff with big eyes until an older version of Luffy snapped his fingers at you to snap you out of your daydream.
"Are you ready to go? Many adventures await us, I'm sure!"
You smiled softly at your companion's enthusiasm, nodding, you climbed onto the small boat with your own suitcase, rolling your eyes at the sight of Luffy's backpack only filled with food, you untied the knot that ran the ship aground in the harbor, raising the sail so that the wind will guide your first destination.

The Luffy Package ☠️📦
(General & relationship headcanons as well as Luffy quotes (relationship implied) for his big day!!)
had to go all out for my fav 😊🤭
General Luffy headcanons:
Tumblr media
Luffy has nails so short dirt can’t get under it 😭
not necessarily the booty diggers 🤭
but just really short, like almost booty digger ig—but not it
he has like 1% nail
its not intentional, they just never grow
i have a feeling someone taught luffy how to dance
idk who
it was likely makino, shanks or some else he cares deeply about
but he learned early on and has been a great dancer ever since!
maybe at parties since they happen a lot in one piece ⭐️
But just because someone taught him doesn’t mean he was awful at dancing at first
maybe he was a natural!
feel the rhythm typa thing 🎶 🕺
it’d be funny if he was
cuz imagine a guy that can dance but can’t sing
how you gon dance on beat to a out of tune song?? 😭
at least to uta anyway
ive always loved Luffy’s singing‼️
he never thinks about what the one piece is
but would be the most disappointed if it isn’t something cool
this dude is NOT interested in books so if the one piece really is just joyboy’s tale i don’t think he’ll be satisfied..😭 (I’m talking about the theory)
he definitely wouldn’t say it was all for nothin tho
he still has nakama, treasure and is the pirate king!! 👑
but…the one piece as books is just a mega L for him
Robin will enjoy ♡
you know that thing he does where he stretches his face real big? Like the time he was tryna cheer nami up when she was sick? And it scared vivi and zoro?
he scared himself when he first realized he could do that too
he was bored and started messing around with his devil fruit
at first he was outside and he stretched his mouth, and when realized he could see inside it, he was like ‘I wonder what this looks like’
so he went inside and did it into a mirror
he somehow managed to trash the whole bathroom running away from his reflection
he quickly got over it and realized it was kinda funny
he showed Ace and sabo who also found it terrifying
then preceded to scare people with it ever since
d end! :)
I feel like he’s thought about what the ‘D’ in his name stands for too
He came up with a bunch of outrageous names that likely aren’t it..
”Dingus?”
”Donkey?”
”Demarto?”
”Doorbell?”
”Dinosaur?”
yeah, dinosaur seems the most plausible 😊
Luffy Dinosaur Monkey!
‘HEY THAT SOUNDS COOL 🤩’
yup, that’s probably what it stands for 😁
sneaks into the usopp factory whenever he’s not in there
he ends up playing with his creations and destroys, it, other projects, and the factory altogether in the progress
he then runs out laughing
usopp later returns to the ruins only to find his months work of his greatest creation yet named “ultimate captain usopp three thousand smasher” has been reduced to fragments of metal nothing ☺️
listen idk if oda has confirmed Luffy’s favorite color but I would say it’s none
why? The same reason why you can’t ask a toddler their’s, it’s just gonna constantly change and you know it’s not the truth
arguably, if I had to pick an actual color based off canon, (IK it’s a shade but wtv) it’d be white
why? wym? Don’t you remember that one ep where luffy sang a song about how he loves snow cuz it’s so white?
(one of his lesser talked about songs 😭💗)
Relationship Luffy headcanons:
Tumblr media
Luffy as a partner is really rambunctious and loving
But do note that loving doesn’t always mean romantic
for him it means loving you a lot but not being lovey dovey when showing it
you need protecting? He’s on the case!! He can’t and he has to beat someone up? One of your nakama’ll do it so stay with them!
your strong? Perfect! He’s gonna go fight this guy so you go beat up that one!
why am I mentioning that? Because it shows he has a great sense of trust and faith in you
Of course he does with all his friends but your reasoning is different
not only are you his nakama, your also his partner!! Which means he loves you in a intimate way!! Not just platonically
I say “just” because I swear sometimes Luffy’ll feel like a friend with you (best friends and lover typa thing 💞) he’s just as goofy and chaotic with you as he is Usopp and chopper
he feels extra lively when around you and always wants to play, whether you like this or not. Your personality depends a lot on how your relationship with him is but I won’t dabble into that today because it’s his birthday. 🎉 but honestly it doesn’t matter if you punch him like nami or laugh like brook-
he’s still gonna bug you! 💖 seriously you can’t get rid of this dude 🤨 Luffy will drag you on every single one of his adventures so I hope your either brave or fearless like him. The only time you two separate and he allows it is when he’s fighting the boss type thing LOL. Like Doflamingo or smth.
that said Luffy isn’t clingy he just likes being around you and seeing what your doing. Especially when you haven’t landed on an island yet and he’s bored. He’s always singing, playing with your face (ironic cuz he’s the stretchy one) or trying to get you to play some silly game he made up
that usually somehow manages to tick everyone off. 🤷‍♀️
will grab your hands randomly and make you dance to some song he made up about literally anything he sees or feels
he even made one about YOU once :3
”OOOOOHHH your my partner! Yes my partner! We’re having lots of fun! Going on adventures- YAHOO!! And dancing a ton! We’ll dance all arcross the grand line!! Take your hats off and let them fly!! YIPPIE!! We’re having a graaaaand TIIIIIIIME!” 😁🕺
Luffy quotes: (implied relationship between you two)
Tumblr media
”HEY LOOK DO YOU SEE THAT ISLAND!! Cmoncmoncmoncmoncmoncmon!! HURRY UP I WANNA GO EXPLORING!!”
”can you sneak in the kitchen and steal some food from sanji? I’m really hungry and he won’t let me in anymore!!”
”LETS HAVE A PARTY!!!” — “we don’t need a reason! CMON!’ CHEERS!”
”lets tame that thing and make it our pet!!”
”what should we name em?” — “Junpi? SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!!” (You didn’t get a chance to respond 💕)
”HEY LOOK A RESTAURANT!! Grab on I’ll rocket us there!! HURRY UP IM HUNGRYYY!!”
”hey! Do you have any food on you?? I’m hungry!”
”Liar!! I can smell it!!”
”take a bath?! I don’t stink!!— EUGH!- okay yeah maybe….but I don’t wanna take a bath!! I’ll get all tired!”
”I’ll leave you with that guy! So go kick some butt! I’ll deal with that red forehead guy!!” (AN: There’s no actual red forehead guy that’s canon, I made it up 👍)
”⁉️ HEY WHAT HAPPENED?! Did that guy beat you up?! I’ll send him flying!! 💢”
”Shishishishi! Shh! Watch this! I’m gonna drop this on Usopp’s head! 🤭😂”
”Lets play a gaaaaame!! I’m so bored! 😞”
”can I have some of your food?” *Already stuffing a piece in his mouth* (the point is it’s not the whole thing ⁉️😱)
”HE LOOK MY BOUNTY WENT UP!! 🤩🤩‼️“
”Isn’t this fun?! 😆” (having a near death experience)
”don’t worry! My injuries don’t hurt at all! See? I’m dancing! I’m having fun!”
”oops. Sorry.”
”look!” (Two chop sticks stuffed up his nose and mouth)
”WOAHH A MAN KILLING BEAR!! LETS GO CHECK IT OUT! 🤩” (even if you wanted to say no your already being hoisted over there because you weren’t running fast enough for him)
”plan? Never mind that!! Let’s go! We’re gonna kick that butt head guys’ butt!!” (AN: another fictional villain I made up on a whim)
”HOLD ON TIGHT” (Gum Gum Rockets with hardly any warning)
”let’s play a game!! It’s called steal zoro’s swords without waking up zoro!! 😁”
”nyop!” (Puts you atop his shoulders 💓)
”nyop!” (Jumps on your back almost knocking you over 💝)
”look at my disguise! Nobody will suspect us! 😎👍”
”Cmere!” (Pulls you into his lap)
”HI! Is it almost time for dinner yet?” (Plops down in your lap)
Thanks for supporting me and my work—as well as my random disappearances too 💗🤗
Everyone! Say it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUFFY‼️‼️

OP smutty headcanons pt. 2
Warnings: ⚠️no minors pls ⚠️
Just some fun headcanons I have for some of the OP men ☠️
OP men: Kid, Ace, Sabo
pt. 1 pt. 3
Eustass 'Captain' Kid
Tumblr media
this motherfucker is filthy
choking kink (giving) - his favorite thing is seeing his fingers around your neck as he pushes his cock in and out of you.
he wants to hear you call him 'daddy' because you're his good little pet.
he's into voyeurism. if he's in the mood, kid's going to pin you against the nearest wall and finger you right then and there. He doesn't care whose around because who the hell will dare look his way? His favorite spot to fuck you is right on the deck on his ship, bending you over the railing - the sea a perfect view. The rest of the crew tries to avoid certain times of the day because of this...
Cream pies - he's going to fill you up, he doesn't give a fuck if you get pregnant. he kinda has a breeding kink.
he's an ass man. hands constantly on your bottom, so he does enjoy the occasional anal sex.
Generally, he can be rough during sex but he's not an animal. he'll continuously check on you to make sure you're okay. He understands no means no and if you tell him to stop, he's going to stop.
Aftercare, he's actually sweet about it. He's shy about affection and blushes whenever you kiss him. Usually after sex, he'll carry you to the washroom to clean up. He likes showering with you. Most times, you two end up cuddling in bed afterwards. He's quick to fall asleep.
Portgas D. Ace
Tumblr media
He's not as experience as he seems and he's shy about it but who could ever deny such a handsome face?
He's a gentle lover; he hates the thought of hurting you. "Ah, god, are you okay? Is this okay?" is his mantra the first few times but eventually he gets the hang of it. He likes taking his time, slow jerks in and out of your pussy. He can go for hours if you let him.
massive cock - is anyone surprise?
'eating out pussy' king - he just wants his head permanently between your legs, please. He's been such a good boy!
praise kink (giving/receiving) - like he said, he's been a good boy! Please praise him! Tell him how good he's making you feel and how big his cock is. In turn, he's going to hold you by the chin and tell you how good your pussy feels.
he's a moaner - sucking his cock? moaning. riding him like a cowgirl? moaning. giving him a sneaky handjob when no one's watching. he has his hand over his own mouth to stop from...moaning.
he's a tits man. likes to fall asleep with his hand on at least one of your breast. if he could, he'd have a hand up your shirt 24/7. it's not even a sexual thing most times, he just finds it comforting as hell.
aftercare includes cuddling right away. both filthy? he doesn't care, he thinks its kinda romantic - bodies vulnerably nude as he holds you against him, hand on your back. In these moments, he likes to talk to you about his brothers.
Flame Emperor Sabo
Tumblr media
he's baby boy, eager, eager, eager. all he wants to do is please you.
but he can also be dominant when he gets that urge.
spanking kink (giving): only when you ask. he likes to warm his hand a bit (fire kink??) and loves to hear your little yelps.
his favorite positions are doggy style and reverse cowgirl - something about your ass in plain view excites him. when in public his eyes are always wandering to your ass and you catch him every damn time. the boy gets beet red EVERYTIME.
he loves handjobs. in an alleyway while on a mission? yes, please. when he's looking out to sea and feels you behind him, hands slipping down in pants? god, yes! He gets stress a lot and you are always there to lend a hand....and he loves you for it.
cum kink - one time you were giving him a hand job and when he finished all over your hand, you gave it a lick. He grew hard instantly. his new found kink includes cumming on your tits and face, the latter his personal favorite - you just look so good with him on you!
he likes to use his iron pipe on you in public. most of the time he's just messing you with - likes to see your reaction when he taps the iron pipe lightly against your ass. he's a playful motherfucker but sometimes, sometimes he rubs the pipe the right away against your pussy...just sayin'.
aftercare - he's going to bring you a towel to clean up with. he's also bringing something to eat and drink, the two of you in bed talking and discussing revolutionary business while enjoying one another's company.

Luffy,Ace,Sabo and Law react to s/o wearing their hat
Tumblr media
Luffy
When Luffy notices that you are sporting his recognizable straw hat, his eyes enlarge in shock. His face breaks into a broad smile as he excitedly rushes toward you. "Hi! His voice is full of enthusiasm as he exclaims, "You look great in my hat!" It works for you! We work as a team now!" He leans in closer after giving you a playful pat on the hat. But always keep in mind that you need to have an adventurous spirit and never give up on a challenge! That's what it means to be a member of my crew," he declares in a resolute tone. You feel inspired and prepared for any adventure that comes your way when you are around Luffy.
Tumblr media
Sabo
When Sabo sees you wearing his beloved hat, his eyes enlarge with surprise. He looks around for a moment, taking everything in, before a soft smile appears on his face. He remarks, "You... you're wearing my hat," in a tone that is both warm and surprising. His eyes glimmer with nostalgia as he approaches you. With a slightly emotional tone, he says, "It's a symbol of my past, of my journey." "But seeing you wear it... it's like passing the torch, entrusting you with my memories and experiences." To ensure that the hat fits perfectly on your head, Sabo reaches out and gently makes adjustments. He says in a gentle and sincere voice, "Take it as a token of friendship and trust." "Wear it with pride, and may it remind you of the strength and determination within you." You feel honored by Sabo's response and more deeply connected to him.
Tumblr media
Ace
Ace looks surprised to see you wearing his signature hat, and a big smile appears on his face. You can feel his excitement as he walks toward you; he can't contain it. "Hi! "You're wearing my hat!" he exclaims, sounding a little surprised and proud at the same time. He plays with your hair, adjusting the hat so it fits perfectly on your head. He remarks, "You know, that hat means a lot to me," in an endearing voice. "It's been through countless adventures, and it represents my spirit of freedom and adventure." Ace continues, excitement glimmering in his eyes. However, it's like passing on the legacy when you wear it, don't you think? We seem to have a unique connection to one another." He laughs and gives you a lighthearted prod. "Just remember to treat it well and preserve the spirit that it represents. Wear it with pride, and let it serve as a constant reminder to follow your dreams without fear." You feel happy and united with Ace when you see his response, as though you've joined his team.
Tumblr media
Law
Law looks at you with his trademark hat on, and his eyes narrow slightly, both in surprise and amusement. A small smile spreads across his stoic face as he takes in the unexpected sight in front of him. In a cool, collected tone, he says, "Well, well, it seems like you've taken quite a liking to my hat." He approaches you with calm, deliberate steps and adjusts the hat so it fits perfectly on your head. With a hint of approval, he says, "I have to admit, it suits you." That hat has fought through many struggles and has come to represent my own tenacity and determination." Law looks into your eyes, and there's a faint warmth there. "By wearing it, you're embracing a piece of my journey and the ideals I stand for." "Remember, it's not just a fashion statement," he says after pausing briefly. It stands for tenacity, fortitude, and the pursuit of justice. "You feel empowered by Law's response, as though you've joined him in his unwavering pursuit of righteousness.

Perhaps my brain isn't braining or I'm assigning undue significance to this but I kinda feel like One Piece seemed to shift more toward exploring what real familial love means or looks like after the timeskip? We get Ace's death, the postwar arc, and Luffy coming to the conclusion that despite having lost both of his brothers, he's still got the Straw Hats and he can move forward with his ragtag crew of siblings, Team Mom and Dad, and an eccentric skeleton Uncle, and then right after that, we get several arcs defined overwhelmingly by either the destruction or salvation of various families.
One of the main inciting incidents–if not the inciting incident–of all the political intrigue inherent to the Fishman Island arc is the assassination of Otohime and its ramifications for Shirahoshi and the entire Ryugu Kingdom (not to mention Luffy trying really fucking hard to imitate Ace and be a big brother to Shirahoshi and Surume as a means of processing his own loss).
Dressrossa's where we first see a true perversion of all the lovely found family tropes that have long been established in One Piece (villains have destroyed families but few if any are depicted as having one in the same way Luffy does; pre-time skip villains are more likely to be loners or self-interested tyrants and their followers aren't really referred to as "family"), giving us self fashioned patriarch in Doffy who completed the destruction of his bio family and spent the rest of his life building a grotesque, failed imitation of it through manipulating and indoctrinating a group of followers he doesn't truly care for, only to be brought down by a combination of his brother's final actions, the little boy Cora saved and loved, the bonds of the Riku family he brutalized, the brothers of the guy whose devil fruit he acquired and tried to entrap his enemies with, and an actual Found Family Crew who genuinely love each other and are willing to sacrifice for each other in a way Doffy cannot possibly understand.
The entirety of WCI involves almost every conceivable permutation of multiple families plotting against, exploiting, abusing, and defiantly loving each other, from Judge discarding any hope he ever had of having an actual family that could love him by literally stripping away their ability to do so in the name of facism/conquest, to Chiffon betraying her abusive mom for her loving husband and in-laws, to Linlin being failed by every parental figure in her life and constructing the most bizarre, fundamentally horrifying political/military structure out of her army of bio children.
Wano's main villain is also an abusive father and tyrannical crew leader, and that does, in fact, contribute to his eventual downfall, but more to the point, the arc opens and closes with the initial destruction and eventual restoration of the Kozuki family in Momo, Hiyori, and Sukiyaki, Luffy's kinship with Momo and Tama, circling back to reminders of Ace yet again (for the third arc so far) and Hiyori literally closing out the arc mirroring her father's catchphrase/dying words (and to a lesser extent, plot fuelled by the destruction of the Kurozumi clan). By the time we end what I personally consider to be Part 2 of One Piece, Luffy's family has picked up another uncle, he's been confronted repeatedly with the spectre of his brother and come out stronger for it (also filling the big brother role for multiple characters), he's reunited with Sabo, and has confronted and defeated multiple villains who act as the antithesis to everything One Piece has told us so far about the joy and love and unity that the Straw Hats and their friends and true families exemplify. And by the time he tells everyone his real dream and shares what he'd previously only told Ace, Sabo, and Shanks, it feels like we've finally gotten some closure for Marineford

Shanks raise ASL part 9
First - Previous
Luffy made his way to Makino’s bar. It’s was late enough in the morning that the villagers were milling around. When Luffy made it to Party Bar he was almost surprised to not see any members of the Red Hair Pirates in there drinking yet.
“Luffy! What are you doing here so early?” Makino greeted the little boy when she saw him walk in. She was surprised to see Luffy but it wasn’t a bad thing. She was more surprised that he was here without either of his brothers or Shanks with him.
“Morning Makino! Me, Ace, and Sabo went hunting this morning! We wanted to catch something for Shanks and the crew. Did you know we’re going with him!” Luffy told her all about his morning and his plan, full of excitement for the future. He did so without any thought to how Makino would react to him leaving with a group of violent pirates.
Makino to her credit wasn’t to surprised or concerned. While she wished Luffy would wait until he was older to leave, she always knew he and his brothers were too big for their sleepy island. And she knew Shanks would protect the boys with his life, no questions asked, the boys would be as safe on the sea as they could be. Garp won’t agree but he had lost this argument long ago, these three boys were made to be pirates, not marines.
Just then the door to the bar was violently thrown open. A group of rough men walking into the bar. Makino recognized their leader almost immediately.
It was Higuma. He led a rival mountain bandit crew to Dadan’s and he was not fond of Curly Dadan or her family. He also had a hatred for Shanks after the last time the red haired pirate was in town and drank the Party Bar dry. He hadn’t been back since and Makino had hopped it would stay that way.
“I heard those weak pirates are back in town.” Higuma stated as soon as he walked into the bar his men spreading out. “I thought we’d pay them a visit but it seems the weaklings aren’t here yet. All the better I’d hate to kill the red head in here and dirty your floors when he’s not alive to clean them up.”
Makino had moved to try and put herself between the man and Luffy as soon as he entered but she wasn’t quick enough.
“Shanks isn’t weak!” The little seven year old bellowed, drawling the bandit’s eyes right to him. “Don’t you dare mock him and his crew. He could kill you without even trying”
“Oh I remember you, you’re the little brat who hangs around with the pirates.” Higuma stated as he moved closer to the little boy.
“Hey boss, I think I’ve seen him running around with Dadan’s brat as well.” Called out one of the bandits. Makino cursed the man in her mind.
“Curly Dadan huh, well looks like we’ll kill two birds with one stone.” The man said before he back handed Luffy across the face.
“Luffy.” Makino cried out running to the little boy.
“Trash the place boys!” Higuma called out to his men. They cheered and started flipping the tables and breaking the stools.
Makino looked at the destruction occurring and quickly grabbed Luffy. “Luffy lets go.” There was no way they could stop these men.
“No Makino! They can’t do this!” Luffy struggled against her as she tried to get him out of the bar. Higuma saw them trying to escape and blocked their path.
“Now where do you think you’re going?” He asked as he reached for Makino. With a scream Luffy launched himself at the bandit.
“Go get help Makino.” He called as he knocked the bandit over. Makino hated this. Hated the idea of leaving Luffy with these men, but she couldn’t fight them. If she stayed then no one would come to help them. So she ran. Ran as fast as she could to Woop Slap.
Higuma quickly threw Luffy off of him. The little boy landed roughly, groaning as he bounced off the ground. Luffy started to push himself up but wasn’t quick enough to avoid the kick Higuma aimed at his stomach. Yet to Higuma and the bandits’ shock instead of the boy being sent flying by the kick, his body streched with the impact.
“What the?” Higuma cried as Luffy’s body snapped back to normal. He reached down and grabbed Luffy’s cheek stretching it out and letting it snap back into place. “Devil fruit.” He whispered in awe.
“Hey boss we could get a lot of money from selling this kid.” Called out one of the bandits.
“Ya I heard some Celestial Dragons were going to be visiting the island soon. Maybe they’d buy him. I heard they love exotic things.” Another tacked on.
Higuma smirked as he bent down and grabbed Luffy by the neck, picking the struggling boy up. “That’s not a bad idea.” He said as he started to lead the bandits out of the bar.
Luffy tried to struggle out of his grip but nothing was working, so he did the only thing he could think of. He spat at Higuma. The man paused wiping the spit from his face, huffing out a breath of a chuckle. Before he slammed Luffy into the ground. The little boy cried out at the impact. He started to push himself up when Higuma stepped in the boy’s head.
“I’m not going anywhere with you!” Luffy shouted at the bandit.
“You need to watch yourself kid, no one who’s made me mad has lived to tell the horrifying tale.” Higuma said as he reached for his sword.
“Wait stop!” Woop Slap yelled as he and Makino arrived on the scene. “I don’t know what he’s done and I don’t intended to fight you over it. If you accept I’ll even pay you for it but please just spare the poor boy’s life.”
“Mayor!” Luffy called out intent on telling the old man to stop.
“Sorry but this rotten boy’s already made me angry.” Higuma said as he drew his sword.
“You’re the rotten one!” Luffy yell back. Never standing down from a fight.
“And your a lost cause which you can regret in the next life.” Higuma said placing his sword at Luffy’s neck. Both Makino and Woop Slap begged him to stop. But everything stopped when they heard a voice behind them.
“I was wondering why the bar was empty on such a fine day.” While his tone was light and jovial his eyes were hard, trained on Higuma and Luffy. He learned a long time ago to act as though nothing bothered him so that his enemies couldn’t see his weak points, but with a sword at Luffy’s throat it was hard to remember that. “So it’s the mountain bandits again.”
Shanks had been tracking the boy’s haki all morning. He’d noticed when Luffy separated from his brothers, when he crossed paths with Mihawk, and when he ran into the bar. He had also noticed when the multiple dull presences entered the bar after his son had. He didn’t hesitate to get the crew together and head over there. Something was wrong. He knew it. If he was right, hopefully they would get to Luffy in time, and if he was wrong well, drinks on him.
But he wasn’t wrong. This lowlife was back, but this time he had attacked Luffy. He and his men wouldn’t live to see the sunset.
“Shanks.” He heard Luffy gasp out from around the man’s shoe. His fist tightened at the sound wanting to remove this man from his son as quickly as possible. But this was delicate as Luffy was too close to the man. They would have to be careful.
“Pirates, just now showing your heads? Have you spent all this time scrubbing the village?” Higuma taunted but Shanks ignored him. He wasn’t going to rise to a weak man’s bait, especially when said man had a sword tip so close to his son’s neck.
Instead he focused on Luffy. “Luffy didn’t you say earlier that your punches were stronger than pistols?” He made the question light. Luffy’s response would allow him to gauge how hurt his boy was. If Luffy didn’t respond or only grunted then his boy was desperately injured and they’d have to act fast.
“Shut your mouth.” Luffy responded with his regular fire. Good he wasn’t hurt to badly then. Shanks was still going to kill all of these bandits for even trying to hurt him.
Shanks start to calmly walk towards Higuma and Luffy. “Listen I don’t know what you’re doing here but you might want to leave.” Higuma obviously didn’t know who Luffy was to Shanks. Good that would make this far easier if he thought this was a stupid pirate butting in and not a father protecting his son. “You wouldn’t want something bad to happen.” The threat was empty. Shanks could tell, as Higuma’s sword hadn’t moved any closer to Luffy. “And I I have just the man to deliver the message.” Higuma finished his threat as one of his men swung his pistol to be level with Shanks’s head.
Oh. He was trying to threaten Shanks. He was dumber than he looked. But Shanks stopped moving forward with the gun pointed at his head. He wasn’t worried. He was making a point.
“I’ll blow your head off if I have to, but that’s up to you my friend.” The bandit taunted and the men around them laughed. Just as Shanks excepted, all talk. He wondered how many weaker souls had fallen for this bluff. He could see the confident smirk on Higuma’s face and the fear in Luffy’s. This was Luffy’s first time seeing Shanks and his crew in a fight. He understood the boy’s worry, but it was misplaced. After today Luffy would know not to worry in situations like this, would understand men like this were not a threat. Yet a part of Shanks mourned the innocence Luffy was about to lose.
“Would you risk your life?” Shanks asked not looking at the man, but hearing his noise of disbelief. “Now that you’ve drawn your pistol are you willing to use it?”
“What the hell are you talking about?” The man asked in shock. Shanks finally turned to look at the man, his face would be the last this man ever saw. He could see Lucky Roux starting to move.
“I’m saying guns aren’t for threats they’re for actions.” And with that statement, Lucky’s gun went off. The bandit dropping dead.
Shanks kept his head down, silently hoping Luffy could forgive him one day for introducing this violence to him. He knew Luffy had fought before, had rescued him and his brothers from the Bluejam pirates, but killing someone so coldly was different. It was a violence that would have touched his son eventually as they traveled out to sea, but to have it happen in Luffy’s home village felt wrong.
He could hear Makino and Woop Slap’s horrified gasps and Luffy’s shocked breath, but he couldn’t focus on them now.
“You! You’re a dead man!” Cried one of the bandits.
“These guys fight dirty.” Called another.
Shanks could feel his crew moving closer around him, offering strength, if you fought one Red Haired Pirate you fought them all.
“Dirty?” Yasopp asked almost sounding confused and affronted by the word.
“Who did you think you were dealing with?” Benn asked, picking up were Yasopp left off. “We didn’t claim to be saints or anything.” His statement meant for the shocked towns people as much as it was for the bandits.
“You fellows are staring down a crew of pirates.” Shanks said taking in the fear from the men in front of him.
“Shut up!” One called. “We just want the boy not you.” That was the stupidest thing he could have said to Shanks. As if Shanks would ever let them hurt his boy.
“Listen up bandits.” He somehow managed to keep his rage out of his voice, keeping it calm and collected the whole time. “Whether I’m sprayed with alcohol, doused with booze, hell even if I’m spit on, most of the time I’ll just laugh it off and forget about it.” His head snapped up to look Higuma dead in the eye. His voice finally darkening. “But if you hurt a friend of mine, you’ll pay for it regardless of your reason.” It was a true statement, Shanks would set an island a blaze for any of his friends, but for his sons, he’d burn the world.
And this man was still. Touching. His. Kid.
Higuma just laughed. “So we’re going to pay? Lousy pirates kill them all men!” He ordered as all the bandits screamed and rushed forward.
Shanks didn’t move as Benn step forward on his right, his hand already on his gun. “I’ll take care of this. Shouldn’t be a big deal.” Benn didn’t want his captain wasting his time on these lowlifes. Plus they had hurt his nephew, he wasn’t letting them leave here breathing. He drew his gun, his movements were faster than these men could track, lining up his shot and firing. The bandits hadn’t realized one of their own had dropped before his next shot was fired. He decimated the whole gang in under a minute, lining his gun up with Higuma’s head. “You shouldn’t get to cocky. If you really wanted to fight us, looks like a battleship or something bigger would have been more useful.”
The man stood there in fear and shock but Shanks ignored him, his eyes tracking to his son’s slack faces. He was ready for there to be fear in his son’s eyes but instead Luffy was looking at Benn in awe. A quiet “Wow.” Leaving his lips.
Higuma panicked, finally removing his foot from Luffy’s face. “Hold on it was the kid who attacked us.” He cried out.
Shanks wasn’t about to let an adult blame a child for their actions. “I thought you were a wanted man.” This man was dying today.
Higuma, realizing there was nothing he could say to save himself, let out a cry and threw something on the ground. The thing exploded and for a heart stopping second Shanks worried the man decided to blow himself and Luffy up rather than fight them. But then the smoke started billowing out at them at a rapid rate.
“A smoke screen.” He growled. What a coward. When then the smoke cleared Higuma was there, but that was expected. What wasn’t expected was that Luffy was gone to. “Luffy?” Skanks called shocked that his son wasn’t where he last saw him. For a second he hoped the boy would pop out, maybe he ran away from the smoke.
But when that didn’t happen ice filled Shanks veins again. His hand flew to the sides of this head as he yelled out, “Oh no I let that guy take him!” He quickly turned around to face his crew in his panic. One of them had to know what to do. “What are we going to do?!” He screamed looking at Lucky Roux.
“Boss calm down! Stop freaking out we’ll find him in no time.” Lucky Roux tried to reassure him. They all knew just how important Luffy was to Shanks. They also adored the little anchor themselves. They’d spread out and search the whole island for the boy if they had to. Higuma wasn’t getting away from them, and he certainly wasn’t going to take Luffy from them.
The Red Hair Pirates took off to search the town. All eager to be the one to find Higuma and put an end to the man who thought he could take Luffy from them.
Shanks was about to run off as well when Benn grabbed his arm. “Captain I know your worried but,”
“No Benn! I can’t wait I need to find Luffy now!” Shanks head was consumed by worry for his son. He couldn’t believe his first mate would be the one to slow him down.
“And is there anything you can do that might help you find him faster?” Benn said giving his captain a pointed look. It took Shanks a second to understand what his first mate was getting at. Oh, his observation Haki. In his panic he almost forgot. He sent out a wave looking for his boy.
There. He could feel Luffy being taken away from the village, but he wasn’t heading in land. No he was heading out to sea.
“I found them. Come on Benn.” Shanks called as he took off running.
“Right behind you Captain.” Been called as he chased after the younger man.

since I've rambled quite a bit on zoro's side of things in some of my zolu posts, I wanted to give luffy a try too! though perhaps overall subtler than zoro's grand gestures throughout the manga, there's no doubt to me that luffy cares for him just as much and his relationship with zoro is one of the most important he has (without intending to downplay others btw), both as individuals and crew, so let's goooo.
Tumblr media
(warning: it's going to be long. sorry. also spoilers for the manga, as usual.)
albeit luffy and zoro's journey as a crew starts in the marine base where they met, I've mentioned here before that their childhood experiences, the way they sort of parallel each other's, also play a big role in their personalities and understanding of one another later on. the specifics are different, sure, but both were acquainted with struggle since they were young. zoro had already lost his parents by the time he was 8 and dragon left a baby luffy in garp's care, which... involved some questionable (dangerous) caretaking choices in order to make luffy "stronger". eventually, zoro would become a student in the isshin dojo, interact with koushiro and kozaburo, and start his rivalry/friendship with kuina just like luffy would later meet folks like makino, shanks and his crew whom he'd be inspired by, then dadan, ace and sabo, who'd become his family.
although we don't know yet what luffy's particular dream is, it's one he's had since young and that he mentioned to his brothers. similarly, as a kid, zoro wanted to become the world's greatest swordsman too, which he told kuina about and promised to strive for along with her. still, it's not until they lose sabo and kuina respectively that their dreams are accompanied by the necessity to become stronger for other people's sake. this is a specific sort of grief they share and are motivated by. and in luffy's case, his vow to become stronger is so he can prevent the further loss of those he loves.
(I'll get back to this, because it's important!)
fastforward to years later and we have a luffy that's started his journey to become the pirate king and achieve his dream. the insane thing about zoro's recruitment is that it only took hearing about the guy's name and fearsome reputation to have luffy pester koby about meeting him. I've also mentioned here that "fate" seems to be a recurring theme in OP especially in the latest arcs, and especially where luffy and zoro are concerned, seeing as they not only have a bunch of parallels with each other but also with important figures/characters in OP, some of who share or have shared a close relationship among themselves as well - namely, roger and rayleigh.
heck, luffy and zoro's lives are so intertwined you can even see lil zoro training during the ASL flashback chapters, when dragon mentions the dojo providing the revolutionaries with some food (ch 589). it's kinda incredible tbh. even so, when it comes to zoro... he was first and foremost a choice. regardless of how fate has come into play in the story, it was luffy's decision to actively seek him out and rope him into joining his crew, one he made after realizing zoro wasn't just a good guy but that he also had a cool, crazy dream and a determination to make it come true that was similar to luffy's own.
back then, luffy was already punching others (helmeppo) and getting angry on zoro's behalf, taking bullets for him and leaving himself wide open for zoro to protect during their confrontation with morgan. this is pretty much the beginning of his unwavering trust in zoro's strength and his willingness to step in when luffy needs someone to watch over him in turn. this is what their relationship is based on within? hours? of meeting and it's the foundation of the straw hat crew.
Tumblr media
he's praising zoro before he's actually taken morgan down and luffy doesn't even look back to check. the amount of trust luffy's placing on zoro off the bat is bonkers and it's literally just the start.
from shells town onwards - well, in spite of how luffy's considered an anchor by shanks in the first chapters of OP because of his inability to swim, I believe the anchor metaphor is actually kinda perfect to describe zoro and his relationship with luffy, more so from luffy's side, even if he doesn't necessarily say this stuff on the pages.
I may be going on a slightly poetic tangent but it works imo. anchor symbolism is pretty popular and you can find all sorts of articles about it online. I read a few out of curiosity and y'know, the anchor as a nautical symbol has supposedly been regarded as one rooted in feelings such as those of stability and safety. you can probably tell where I'm going with this.
in terms of stability, think of OP's arcs and how many of them zoro's been in alongside luffy. they don't always fight side by side strictly speaking, but zoro is a constant - he's usually there to fight the second strongest threat and sometimes protect or lead the others when luffy's otherwise occupied, or he handles things while luffy gets there/recuperates enough to battle again. for the most part, zoro's also there in a bunch of the crewmate-rescuing arcs and he's even the one to directly liberate brook's shadow in thriller bark. there's only two major instances in which luffy and zoro (+ the crew) get separated for a considerable amount of time, one of them unwillingly and the other by choice: sabaody and zou/whole cake island. ig you could count baratie/arlong park too, but I don't think as much time passed in between one and the other compared to zou/WCI and the reunion in wano.
something that really got me even though it was tinted by a comedic feel, is the fact that bon-chan turned into zoro out of all straw hats back at impel down when luffy was trying to rescue ace and how happy he was at the prospect of having zoro there to aid him. no matter how the adaptation differs from the manga, I couldn't help but think of opla luffy's I need you speech too. would he have been as happy to see any other members of the crew? likely so! still, zoro's definitely someone luffy particularly looks forward to having by his side when things get tough.
Tumblr media
irl, anchors are generally used to secure a vessel and prevent it from drifting. sounds a little familiar, I'd say.
Tumblr media
it's not as though zoro's the only character in OP who's "guided" luffy but there are moments when he does ground his captain in a manner other characters can't at the time, and my favorite part of it is how seriously luffy takes zoro's words/advice whenever it happens. water 7 and enies lobby are perhaps the best examples of this, as it comes up in the context of luffy's fight with usopp and robin's supposed betrayal.
Tumblr media
this is a really, really good moment imo. once luffy slows down to consider what zoro's saying, you can see he understands the importance of it. plus, luffy knows zoro's not someone who'd just leave a friend behind (he's fought to bring some of them back at this point, with luffy and the rest of the crew) and if anything, his "so the fact that he left our crew means nothing to you?!" outburst proves he's as upset as all of them about usopp's choice.
that said, you can tell how much luffy values and respect zoro's imput simply by the way he cries his soul out when usopp finally apologizes and asks to come back. luffy wears his heart on his sleeve and adores his friends, doesn't want to lose them ever, so reining all those feelings in to stay true to his position as the captain that zoro has placed his faith and loyalty in? amazing. and consider it from another angle: if he had ignored zoro, luffy would've lost him too. he certainly doesn't want that either or this would've gone differently.
this kinda thing happens also post timeskip, with zoro reminding luffy to get his shit together at punk hazard, bringing up the fact that they can't just ignore the threat kaido poses in zou to have the entire crew going after sanji, or when they're facing kaido and big mom in wano. zoro's someone luffy counts on to keep him steady and afloat, and this part of their relationship is something that was portrayed (again) nicely in the live action. in ep 6, it's zoro who manages to reassure luffy of his position as the captain and that he's done nothing wrong, that their crew isn't falling apart, because if luffy needs him then zoro vows to stand by his side til the very end. (they're insane).
in addition, their core similarities, understanding of each other and luffy's (almost unbelievable) faith/trust in zoro is what allows him to depend on zoro, specifically, when it comes to things like saving smoker in alabasta, not fighting back against bellamy's crew on jaya, or just mentioning the spilled oshiruko as explanation enough for zoro to get why luffy's angry during the onigashima raid, to name a few of examples off the top of my head.
as for the safety aspect of the anchor symbolism... that one speaks for itself I think. I feel like I must mention once more that zoro's not the only character or even the only straw hat to help or protect luffy, but he's fairly insistent and consistent in this aspect compared to others. compiling all the moments in which zoro's stepped in to protect luffy, worried about his well-being or signaled the rest when luffy's truly in danger/has reached his limits would probably break this site's image upload limit lol.
that said, luffy's the same back at zoro just in a bit of a less common manner or in a different way rather - mostly because of his belief in zoro's strength and the lengths he'd go to keep people safe, which includes allies and more so their friends. one could argue depositing that kind of faith in zoro can have its drawbacks (sabaody) or isn't completely fair (like when he goes all, "with you here, how could this happen?!" in skypiea) BUT. my opinion is that trusting zoro any less than that would likely hurt his pride more. so when luffy says stuff like this,
Tumblr media
it's not about having unrealistic expectations wrt zoro but more about fully trusting in the man who tearfully swore to him that he'd become the greatest swordsman and never lose again. the one who trusts luffy just as much in turn, called him captain and pirate king first. luffy's seen zoro pull through some impossible situations, so it'd be more unfair to doubt him this way if you ask me.
this is also why I mentioned luffy's childhood vow. if you ever wonder "how important is zoro to luffy?" compare this,
Tumblr media
to this:
Tumblr media
luffy's past is revealed hundreds of chapters after skypiea. yet in hindsight, it adds so many layers to his relationship with zoro. for someone like luffy, who promised to become strong so that the people he loves wouldn't have to leave him, who would even die as long as it means he won't lose a member of his crew, the fact that he can relax this much when he gets separated from his friends because zoro's with them is... a lot, man. when you remember luffy's lost people close to him or had them leave him (for very understandable reasons, often out of everyone's control), zoro being one of the most stable presences in his life since they met - someone who will help him fight to get their friends back or stay behind to watch over them when they can't all go together, that for zoro to leave he'd have to be pried by force from his side unless they both agree to it for the sake of their journey and crewmates, is likely to be a very comforting fact to luffy. luffy, who's afraid of/hates being alone more than getting hurt.
he doesn't voice it out but allowing zoro to protect him and the people they both care for is giant sign of love and unbeatable trust, where luffy's concerned. although he doesn't know about it, zoro's sacrifice in thriller bark demonstrated why luffy does this without hesitation too. however, it's worth noting that luffy does worry for zoro's own safety whenever he's there to actually witness him being in danger and he knows zoro well enough to tell when said danger is real. it happens during the mihawk duel, when kizaru almost kills zoro in sabaody then as kuma sends him away, for example. he gets angry, desperate and teary in all of these instances. luffy cares so much about him.
lastly yet just as relevant... is that luffy likes zoro, beyond metaphors and all zoro might represent/stand for in the crew. luffy thinks he's cool, that he'll certainly achieve his dream, enjoys teasing and bullying him harmlessly, offered to share his food with him to convince zoro into accompanying them in thriller bark, tried to give an injured zoro an entire barrel of alcohol because luffy knows he loves booze and thought it'd make him feel better, and is generally someone luffy's happy to be with.
Tumblr media
I bring up the wano hug a lot but honestly it doesn't get clearer than this. I've seen people try to downplay this moment but hey, context. people that luffy's hugged this way include 1) sabo, the brother luffy believed had been dead for years, 2) hancock who helped him try and rescue ace and 3) jimbei who's helped luffy during some of the most dire moments he's gone through, like impel down, marineford and WCI. for luffy to straight up hug zoro with just as much happiness, eagerness and enthusiasm in a relatively danger-free situation... he likes zoro, there's no better way to put it.
it's not that they can't butt heads sometimes either, but never seriously enough to damage their relationship. as a more recent example, luffy's shown he can put his stubbornness and recklessness aside when zoro's right even if he doesn't like it (ch 1060, about vivi's current situation). and as long as he's there, luffy won't let people interfere in zoro's fights, much less when it involves zoro's dream - like when he held johnny and yosaku back from stepping into zoro's duel with mihawk, even though luffy himself was worried about zoro.
so yeah, zoro might get to be crazier about luffy more often and explicitly but imo, it's an entirely reciprocal thing.
if you got this far, thanks so much for reading!

Tumblr media
Character : Ace & fem.reader
c.w : just pure fluff with our national golden retriever.
Tumblr media
With both of you being busy and exhausted, Ace came up with the idea of an amusement park date. He knew that you both loved the thrill of roller coasters and the excitement of carnival games, and he thought it would be a fun way to relax and de-stress.
You were skeptical at first. You were both so tired, and you didn't know if you had the energy to run around an amusement park all day. But Ace was persuasive (how can you say no to this man ?), and he eventually convinced you.
On the day of your date, you woke up early and got dressed. You wanted to look good for your man, even though you were both going to be sweating and covered in sugar from all the rides and snacks.
When you arrived at the amusement park, Ace was already there waiting for you. He had big bags of cotton candy in each hand, and he gave you one as soon as you saw him.
You and Ace will ride every roller coaster in the park and scream your lungs out. You'll start with the tame ones, just to warm up. But then you'll move on to the big ones, the ones that make your heart race and your palms sweat. You'll laugh and scream and hold on to each other for dear life as you race through the loops and corkscrews.
After this, you and Ace will call Luffy and Sabo to tease them about not being there.
“Hey Luffy !” Ace says, “you're missing out on an amazing day. We're at the amusement park, riding all the roller coasters and eating all the junk food.”
“Sounds like a blast” Luffy says. “But I'm having my own kind of fun. I'm eating all the meat!”
“Yeah, right” Ace says. “You're probably just sitting at home, watching anime and eating chips.”
“Oi!” Luffy replies. “I'm not that lazy.”
“Sure you're not,” Ace says. “But whatever you're doing, you're missing out on a great time.”
Ace then calls Sabo and tells him the same thing. Sabo says that he's busy with work (as usual), but he wishes he could be there.
You spent the whole day riding roller coasters and playing carnival games. You laughed until your sides hurt, and felt like a kid again.
At the end of your journey, Ace will convince you to ride the big wheel. You're a little nervous, but Ace assures you that it will be fun.
As the gondola begins to move upwards, you feel your heart pounding in your chest. You look out the window and see the amusement park growing smaller and smaller below you. You can see all the rides and games, and the people milling about.
Ace turns to you and smiles. “It's beautiful, isn't it?” he asks.
You nod. “It is,”.
You continue to ascend, until you're at the top of the big wheel. The gondola sways gently in the breeze, and you can feel the warmth of Ace's body next to you.
You look out at the view. The city lights stretch out before you, sparkling like diamonds. You can see the river winding its way through the city, and the mountains in the distance.
“It's breathtaking,” you say.
Ace's arm, strong and steady, wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer into his embrace. His eyes, deep pools of desire, held yours captive, their intensity making your breath catch in your throat.
As his face inched closer, you felt the warmth of his breath against your skin, sending shivers down your spine. His lips, soft and inviting, met yours in a searing kiss that ignited a fire within you.
The kiss was a symphony of passion, a dance of tongues that explored the depths of each other's souls. Your hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, deepening the connection that was rapidly igniting into something more profound.
Time seemed to melt away, the sounds of the amusement park fading into a distant hum as you lost yourselves in the world of each other's touch. His kisses were intoxicating, a blend of tenderness and desire that made your heart race and your legs turn to jelly.
When he finally pulled away, his eyes were ablaze with passion, his lips swollen and tempting. You gazed back at him, your own heart pounding in your chest, a smile playing on your lips.
“I love you, princess” Ace says.
“I love you too, so much” you replied, your voice barely above a whisper.
You leaned in again, your lips seeking his once more, and the kiss that followed was even more passionate than the first. It was a kiss that spoke volumes, a kiss that expressed the unspoken love that burned between you. As the gondola began its descent back to earth, you pulled away, breathless and flushed.
At the end of the day, you were both exhausted, but you were also incredibly happy. You had spent the entire day with the person you adored, doing the things you both loved. And that was the best part of all.
As you and Ace walked hand-in-hand out of the amusement park, you looked back at all the rides and games you had experienced together. You couldn't believe how much fun you had.
“I'm so glad you convinced me to come here,” you said to Ace. “This was the best date ever.”
Ace smiled and kissed your forehead. “I'm glad you liked it,” he said. “I knew it would be the perfect way for us to relax and have some fun.”
You and Ace continued walking, your arms still linked. You talked about all the rides you had been on and the games you had played. You knew that no matter what challenges life threw your way, you would always have each other.
And that was the most important thing of all.

Do you have HC how Law and Luffy behaves when they have have disagreement with each other aka the couple fight? And how they resolve it?
I think it's must be challenging for these two knowing how both are hard to open to people about their problems and being honest to each other
AND I THINK- it'll be funny if they like like both being out of character during the fight, just imagine Trafalgar who's always composed and collected kind of person is suddenly being easily irritated, sulky, and moody. This left the Hearts unsure of what to do, because their confident captain act like troubled teenage girl out of the blue
And Luffy... Being quiet for once, always seems to lost in thoughts, even say no to usopp and chopper usual shenanigans. He still eat a lot tho, i mean it's Luffy. But it's less chaotic for once n the Strawhats dining table. The crew don't know whether they should thank god it's calm here for once or worry for their captain
maybe Luffy will ask for advice to someone wise enough for this (looking at Robin here, or maybe shell approach the captain first noticing the change in behavior?)
Please share your thoughts! 🙇
Tumblr media
Hmm... I didn't really have any HC about them fighting, I kind of figured they would just yell at each other until one of them caved or they just had really obnoxious i-hate-you-but-i-love-you sex. THAT BEING SAID, I like that one and so I will take it and run with it.
Law and Luffy had a fight. Sure, it wasn't their first, Law was always berating Luffy for not following his plans and Luffy had gotten frustrated with the way Law doesn't seem to care enough about those around him but this one was different. It was stupid, Luffy couldn't even remember what the fight was about in the first place but he knew that he was the one in the wrong. He said a lot of cruel things to Law and the moment they came out of his mouth, Luffy regretted them. He didn't think Law was a heartless jerk and he didn't hate him. No, he loved Law and he was just frustrated and it led him to say stupid things he didn't even mean.
But he didn't get the chance to take back his words and makeup with Law because as soon as Law comprehended what he said, he told him that he was an idiot, their alliance and relationship were over, and he never wanted to see him again before shambling back to his ship and leaving with his crew. Luffy was left there in shock. He never thought Law would actually break up with him and run away without hashing out their feelings.
See, Luffy wasn't the best at conflict resolution, he grew up with Sabo, Ace, Gramps, and Dadan and they always solved their problems by fighting both verbally and physically until they finally made up. His crewmates were the same and no argument ever went unresolved for more than a few hours. Except for the times when his crewmates almost left him, but those were different fights and they never really wanted to leave in the first place. No, he was scared that Law meant it and he really didn't ever want to see him again.
Luffy was left with this heaviness in his heart unlike anything he had felt before and he had no idea how to make things right with Law. Should he bring him food? No, Law doesn't really care about food that much and he said he didn't want to see him again. Should he say sorry and that he won't do it again? Yeah he was sorry so he needed to say it, but he can't promise he won't do it again, that would be lying. How would he even find Law to apologize? There was no telling where he went off to and the sea was a big place, especially to find a submarine that they couldn't even see if it was below the surface.
Thankfully, Robin was Luffy's knight in shining armor. She and Nami decided that Luffy is sensitive right now and Nami's tough love might not work this time. They saw the cogs turning in his head and knew that things like love and relationships aren't really Luffy's specialty. It didn't help that Law isn't the easiest person to figure out although they know he loves Luffy deeply and they were pretty sure he didn't mean anything he said, he was just angry and responding to Luffy's cruel words.
They were already planning on helping Luffy, but it was pretty amusing to watch every single man on the crew pull them both aside and beg them to help Luffy because they were freaked out by their depressed captain who had been uncharacteristically sulking and quiet with a frown etched on his face since his argument with Law.
Sanji cooked Luffy all his favorite foods and although he ate everything, he took his time instead of tossing it into his face and didn't compliment him on how good it was or smile. Chopper and Usopp tried to play games and go fishing but Luffy didn't want to, saying he wasn't in the mood right now. Brook sang him a love song to cheer him up but it only made him sadder. Franky made some special modifications to one of his robots he knew Luffy would think was awesome but he just nodded and seemed far away when he showed him. And Zoro? Well, he just took a nap with Luffy like he always does because he can deal with an angry Luffy, but a sad Luffy who was upset over fighting with his boyfriend? Well, that was more Nami or the stupid cook's specialty.
As for Law, his crew is terrified and he knows it. He's locked himself in his room for most of the time, refusing to let anyone in. Shachi and Penguin of course tried to listen through the door and they were shocked to hear that Law was just sobbing in there like a baby and it made them even more worried.
When Law does emerge, he's off his rocker, screaming at everyone for the tiniest things; a crumb on the floor, talking too loud, his rice being too dry, anything sets him off on a rage-filled tangent. Even Bepo can't calm him down though he's tried with many hugs and offers to nap with him. Not only that, Law is clearly exhausted. His eyes are bloodshot and the bags are worse than usual and it's obvious he hasn't slept in days. He won't talk to them and they have no idea what to do to help their poor lovesick Captain.
See, Law is great at problem-solving. It's his thing. But Luffy has always been a problem he cannot solve. Sure, he was in the one in the wrong here and he said nasty things but Law knows he went too far. Yes, Luffy was an idiot but he didn't want to end their alliance or their relationship, in fact, that was the last thing he wanted to do. Although he drove him crazy sometimes, Luffy made him happier than he'd ever been before. But he was the one who ran away and he can't just go grovel at Luffy's feet like some pathetic loser, even if he wanted to. His pride is too strong for that and he's afraid that Luffy's might be too.
Law's biggest fear is that they will never resolve this and that terrifies him because he's so in love with Luffy. Yes, he's awful at expressing it and doesn't even know if Luffy even knows how important he is to him but he truly loves him more than anyone in the world.
What if they never make up? What if Luffy hates him for breaking up with him like that and doesn't want to be with him anymore? He can't comprehend a reality where Luffy isn't in his life, he'd rather just be dead. But he can't be the one to reach out. He can't go beg for love on his knees. He needs Luffy to come back and tell him that he's sorry so he knows for sure that Luffy 's feelings are just as deep as his are. Until then, he's just stuck on this damn submarine losing his mind and taking it out on his crew which he knows is wrong but he can't help himself. Now instead of having one person to apologize to, he has 20.
After a talk with Robin, Luffy decides he is going to apologize because he can't stand the idea of Law being mad at him and hating him forever. He loves Law a lot and maybe if he tells him that and is extra nice, Law will forgive him.
Nami steps in, calling Law on the den den mushi about to rip him a new one and demand he meets up with them now. Thankfully for Law, a concerned Bepo answered instead of the captain. Nami simmers down. explaining the situation and that Luffy wants to meet up with Law so they can make up. Bepo is relieved, he can't stand Law being sad anymore and the crew is going crazy stuck undersea with their miserable volatile captain. They arrange a meeting point and Bepo turns the ship around. Law is so distraught that he doesn't even notice the course change.
That is until they surface. He flies out of his room to figure out what is going on because he didn't authorize a surface and they weren't supposed to reach the next island for a few more days.
Before he can reach the control room, seething and about to rip his crew a new one, he's met with Luffy standing in the hallway of the Polar Tang. Wait what? How'd he get here? Why? Was he just sleep-deprived and seeing things? Law is in shock, his pinched expression softening the moment he sees Luffy's big round eyes filled with so much concern and love.
He's here. He came back.
Before Law can plan his next move, Luffy launches himself into his arms, knocking him to the floor. Law can't even be angry at how much it hurts because Luffy is kissing him more desperately than he ever has before. He can feel his sorrow, his apology, and his passion. From the way Luffy's hands thread in his hair and his tongue begs for entrance into his mouth, Law can tell that he has been just as distraught as him.
He kisses Luffy back just as desperately, hungry for his affection and pulls him closer, feeling the tension that has been wrecking his body these past days dissipate. He doesn't even care what they fought about, none of that matters anyway. He had forgiven him the moment he stormed off the Sunny that day. Luffy breaks their kiss, looking down at Law with big round eyes brimming with tears and he can't help but think how cute he looks even though he's about to cry.
"Toraooo I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any of it, I was just being stupid. I love you so much and I never want to fight with you ever again. Please please forgive me, I'll do anything just don't hate me and break up with me," Luffy pleads, tears streaming down his cheeks and dropping down onto Law's face.
He'd never seen Luffy cry before though he recalled his brother Sabo mentioning in their brief interaction in Dressrosa that Luffy was quite the crybaby when they were kids. It warmed his heart knowing that Luffy cares so deeply about him that he would actually shed tears for him, but also breaks it knowing that his stupidity made him cry. Law heaves a sigh sitting up and pulling Luffy up with him so he was sitting on his lap with his legs wrapped snugly around his waist. He wipes the tears from his eyes with his thumb and places a hand on his cheek. Luffy is quiet for once, waiting for Law's response to his plea.
"Of course I forgive you. I forgave you the moment I left. I'm sorry too, it wasn't right of me to say those things I didn't mean and run away. I should have stayed and worked it out with you like an adult. From now on if we disagree, we'll talk about it until we figure it out, okay?" Law spoke calmly, watching as Luffy's face filled with relief.
He wiped his tears, the smile that Law cherished so dearly blooming on his face. Law realized that he forgot one very important thing in his response. "Oh, and I love you too, you idiot," he grumbled with an eyeroll though he knew Luffy would notice the soft smile that grazed his lips as he said the words he probably didn't express enough.
Luffy's face lit up even more as he pulled him in for a bone-crushing hug, burying his face in Law's neck, Law quietly rubbing his back and savoring the closeness even though he felt like he was going to stop breathing any second.
"So does this mean we're not broken up anymore?" Luffy asks peeking up at Law after a few moments of comfortable silence between them.
"No, we're not broken up. We never were, I was saying stupid shit," Law tsked at his own insolence.
"Sooo should we go tell our crews that we made up? My friends have been really worried and the polar bear seemed like he was too when he talked to Nami," Luffy asked and although he was right,
"We should, but not yet. I think we still have some more making up to do in my room. I think they'll get the hint if we don't come back for awhile," Law leaned in close, his lips grazing Luffy's ear as his hand slid down to gently caress the small of Luffy's back. He felt Luffy's body shiver under him, giving him the exact response he wanted. He had Luffy here, putty in his hands and he was absolutely going to take advantage of it.
"Ohhh, are you talking about the makeup sex thing Nami mentioned when I was leaving?" Luffy perked up, his cheeks stained with an incredibly endearing blush. He silently thanked Nami for putting that idea in his head.
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Now let's go before I decide I can't wait until we get to my room," Law said bluntly, already feeling his arousal building as Luffy rocked himself against his lap ever so slightly, showing him that he was very much interested in exploring this unexplored territory in their relationship.
"Okay, take me to your room so I can show you just how sorry I am, Torao," Law didn't have to be told twice, standing up off the floor with Luffy still wrapped around him like a koala on a tree.
"I look forward to it," he murmured with a devilish grin as he made his way towards his quarters, casting his room so it would be clear to anyone who came near that he was busy and also preventing them from hearing the terribly wonderful things he and Luffy were about to do with each other after their first, and hopefully last real fight.

How the one piece men react to your period pr2
yeah still on my period and wanted more comfort fics. again if you have any request don't hessite to ask.
trigger warnings: periods and smimi-fainting
contains: Ace, Akainu, sabo, fujitora
Tumblr media
ACE
The cowboy would notice you acting strange and realize you were in some sort of pain. He didn't know why you're in pain and that made him worry even more. He notices your hurting and he wants to help. He can't heal you like Marco could but he hates seeing his you in pain. It would probably take him a few hours to ask you what's up. He would be waiting for you to tell him on your own time. He trusted you so was sure you would tell him soon. He felt a little hurt when you didn't tell him why you were in pain. 
Ace would pull you to somewhere private and ask you straight to your face what was wrong. He would sound a little upset, not angry at you, just hurt. It would tear him up inside to think that you weren't willing to lean on him. He trusted you completely and it hurt that you apparently didn't do the same. He'd be waiting with baited breath for your answer.
You would give him a soft smile and laugh a bit to yourself. You had been on a ship full of men for years so you never really talked about your period. It was a kinda open secret on the ship, the crew would go a bit easier on you when you as well as not complaining about you taking two baths a day. You would grab his hands before talking, "I'm sorry my love, I should have told you," you gently kiss his cheek," I'm on my period, I didn't  think to mention it cuz the guys round here make a fuss about talking 'lady things' like this."
He would be so relieved that you weren't intentionally hiding why you were in pain from him. He'd definitely laugh at himself and pull you into a big hug, peppering your face with kisses. He'd hold you for a moment before you two went to join with the rest of the crew again.
He honestly has no clue how to treat you on your period. He knows it hurts and that it sucks but he also doesn't want to walk around on pins and needs around you or treat you like your made of glass. His brain kinda stops working a lot of the time. He ends up over thinking it to the point where it seems like he's ignoring you. He gets a far away look in his eyes and the whole crew thinks there's nothing in his head.
After he realizes he's stuck in a loop of not knowing what to do and not acting fast enough he'd go to the nurses for help. He would be VERY embarrassed about the whole situation. He would sit down with them face red and not able to make eye contact with any of them.
The nurses would kinda assume he was about to ask one of them out or ask to fuck one of them. They would be glaring at him ready to tell you that your boyfriend was a cheating jerk. They would just melt when they heard the real reason he was their.
Ace would stamer out, "thanks for uh seeing me, I didn't know who else to ask." His blush would darken, " how do I help y/n with their period?" He would be looking at his hands so hard.
A chorus of aws would come from the lot of the nurses. They would give him a crash course of periods. They would answer any questions Ace had and be so patient with him. They would think he was just a total sweetheart for coming to them and asking for help. Do not for a moment think they would tell a soul about this. Ace's visit was their secret.
After his crash course he would do all he could to help you. He figured out that having you sit on his lap with his hand on your stomach made a world of difference for you. You would melt when he did this, his devil fruit made him a great heating pad. He would feel so happy knowing he could help you. He would hold you like this whenever he could.
When he saw you drop to the floor for the first time his hart stopped. He thought you had died for a second till he saw your ragged breathing. He would rush to your side asking you what was wrong. Grabbing your arms and trying to get you to respond to him. He might even shake you a bit. 
Once your pain was at a manageable level you would shift to a sitting position. You would give him a sheepish smile, you felt guilty and embarrassed about the whole situation. You would softly apologize and explain what had happened. 
Ace would be shocked that periods could be so bad. He would be utterly gobsmacked that the guys around here expected you to act like nothing was going on. For god's sake you were fighting one of your internal organs and it was not holding back any punches. After this he would make loud remarks about your period quite often. He would take a lot of pleasure hearing you giggle and gently swat at him.
Him and Marco would scream to each other from across the mush hall things like, "no she needs pads not tampons!" Or " her vagina is bleeding!" Just to reek havoc. Ace would do all he could to get the men of the Moby dick to get over their period phobia.
Tumblr media
Akainu 
The marine admiral would not understand what was up with you. He expects a  Certain level of professionalism in his relationships and you usually do hold up to that quite well but in little ways it would be slipping. He would notice you taking longer on tasks and that you seem very stiff. He wouldn't say anything about it unless it got particularly bad. He would worry for you but if you weren't bringing it up it surely wasn't important.
He wouldn't find out you were on your period till you keeled over in pain. It wouldn't be as dramatic as just falling over. You would be in the middle of a coffee/tea break with him. You had forced him to start taking these when you got together. Not only did it mean you got more time with him but it also reduced his stress level. You would suddenly set your drink down, face scrunching up with pain. Your hands would have a death grip on the counter. It would be only a second before your knees gave out and you were crouching down. You would close your eyes and focus on your breathing.
Akainu would forget his no pda rule as he rushed to kneel down beside you and gently grab one of your hands. You would be surprised how tender he could be. In the moment he just needed to know if you were OK.
Once you were able to you would stand back up holding his hand like it was a tether to reality. You would look at your feet and apologize to him. You hadn't wanted to make a big deal out of your period but your uterus had other plans. You felt like a dunce just keeling over like that.
Akainu would demand a proper explanation, his voice would be stern but not angry. You were his s/o if something was wrong enough with you to send you to the ground he need to know what the reason was. You were his responsibility and he took it very seriously.
You would apologetically explain it was just your period. The more you explained the worse you felt about it. You've lived your life since your early teen years with this problem. You hated the fact you couldn't find a solution for it.
Do not expect akieno to be extremely understanding; he is a practical man and will view this practically. He would treat this just like any other marine with a health problem. He would give you proper leave and treatment but no real special treatment. The only hint to the outside observer that this conversation wasn't just a superior and one of his underlings would be the fact he never let your hand go. He would continuously be rubbing his thumb back and forth on the back of your hand. 
Not that he would show it but seeing you drop like that would scare him. You were precious to him and despite what people might think he took pride in you. He respected you in a way he never felt he could put to words. You were more than just one of the paper pushers that plaged marine headquarters. You were his paper pusher.
Tumblr media
Sabo
He wouldnt know you were on your period till you told him. Hes observant but you wouldnt wait for youer cramps to act up to tell him. As soon as you relized that you were on your period you would tell him. You would go mopping up to him befor declaring, “Sabo my uterus is trying to kill me… again.”
He would defently laugh at your words. He’s not squamish about periods, he knows that their just apart of life for those that have been cursed with the burden of a uterus. He would pat your head giving you one of his charming smiles and tell you that, “Dont worry once the blood stops ill give it a real beating for you.”
The two of you have a very flirty relation ship and your period would not stop that. If he notices your having a particularly bad time he will amp up the flirting. He just wants to see smile and dose his best to distract you of your pain.
He always gets caught off grad buy how hard your period takes you out. You dont just spend all day in bed but you definitely let your self go a bit. You dont put as much efort into your aprance and kinda just stumbles around. You are way less aware of your sarondings and end up walking into things.
He would deftly baby you. He knows how tough you are and knows this has to be really bad for you to be acting the way you are. It freeks him out that your body is doing this to you. It upsets him that he can't just fix it for you.
The first time he saw your body just go falling to the ground his hart stopped. He had no clue that it was cramps sending you to the floor. All he knew was his girl friend just went falling to the ground for no reason. He would rush to your side and sart to asses your your health.
Once you were abel to  function again you would gingerly grab onto sabo. You would feel so guilty seeing the panic on his face. You would kiss his cheek and whisper, "it's ok, I'm ok," you would pull him into a hug as you begin to apologize, over and over. You hate making people worry about you. The cramps making you go done was a normal occurrence for you. You had mastered the controlled fall, never hurting yourself on the trip to the floor.
Sabo would demand to know what the actual fuck had just happened. His heart is pounding in his ears and he looks just about ready to kill someone. You are so important to him so if someone was responsible for this then they would regret it. His grip on your shoulders is almost painful.
Once he knew that it was just another symptom of your period he'd be horrified. The fact that you were acting like this was fine and normal would scare him. He couldn't handle that you were used to this. It would rip his heart out that you felt you needed to apologize to him for this. Yes you scared him but it wasn't your fault. You couldn't control the fact that your body was fighting you. The dejected look on your face was just awful. You 
He would spend the rest of his day with you, he would ignore what work he had because you came first. If any one gave him shit about it he would just point to you and say, " they are passing out at the drop of a hat, do not act like that's not a big deal!" He would not let anyone give you shit for you not being up to your full strength.
When he got the flame flame nomi he would not realize at first that it made him a perfect heating pad. It would take koala asking him if he had become your heating pad for the thought to even cross his mind. He would look at her with such a dumb look on his face, a mix of a dope grin and a smirk. It would only take him a few seconds to go sprinting off to be your heating pad.
He would adore just holding you and letting his heat sooth your pain. He would fall asleep with you in his arms. He just is happy that he can take your pain away.
Tumblr media
Fujitora 
The blind man would feel the shift in your ora. You were usually a very sweet and happy person but suddenly you seemed to be suffering . He is not the kind of man to "watch" people suffer in silence, he would ask you if you were alright. As a marine you would give him your best smile and say, " I'm fine sir." You were a marine and your period was not going to get in your way. You were there to help people and you couldn't do that from your bed.
Fujitora would see through your lie, he would set a gentle yet firm hand on your shoulder. He could tell you were in pain and trying to hide it. He was sure you weren't doing it maliciously but would be annoyed that you had lied to him, " please be honest with me, if you are in pain it is not something you should hide." 
You would flush and softly say," I am in pain yes but I'm still able to do my job. It's not a big deal." You would instantly regret your words as a wave of cramps hit you. Your knees would go weak and you would reach out for the closet stable thing which just so happens to be the vice admiral. You would cling to his arm(rip Fujitora's arm if you have nails) doing your best not to completely fall over. You would fail.
Fujitora would catch you. He would not let you hit the floor. His worry would spike from mild to severe. He cared for all his marines but you were special. You were his right hand, in so many ways you were his eyes. Your relationship with him was more than just a professional one but he and you hadn't given it a title.He would hold you on your feet till you got your strength back. He would not question you about what had just happened to you til he felt you get your strength back.
Once you could stand on your own you would very quickly let go and apologize. If this man could see he'd think all the blood in your body had gone to your cheeks. Though his eyes don't work his observation haki cirtenly does. He can feel the embarrassment radiating off of you.
He would set his hands on your shoulders, “(y/n), what is wrong?” his voice would be stern and its clear he will not let you avoid answering. 
After he learned it was your period, he would laugh. Not out of cruelty or in a mocking way, mind you. Hes relived your not hiding some deadly diseas. He is glad your not dieing, and his concern for you has settled into mild. This man is still worried but isnt going to stay awake at night thinking about it. 
The moment he felt you sinking away from his touch, and the shame flowing off you hed pull you in to a hug. Sitl chuckling he say, “i'm sorry just glad you werent hiding something eles.”
Fujitora dosnt quite under stand how periods work and openly ask’s you questions about it. Once he got an understanding for the symptoms and what helped ease them hed start doing small but thoughtful things. He uses his devel fruit to lighten the weight on your back. He slips you sweet. He dose all he can to let you sleep in and make outhers do the same.
He will not force you to stop working but he would lighten your work load. If you ever were in to much pain to work he would let you rest.
By the end of your period he would feel even more sure you special to him. Seeing you push through your pain and not letting your pain cause you to lash out at others, would make him adore you more. Your relation ship still didnt realy have a name but it sure was creeping closer to you being his s/o.

Big brother
─Luffy, Law & Kid x sister!reader (platonic)
─Summary: Some headcannons about Luffy, Law and Kid with a younger sister
─Warnings: none
Tumblr media
Luffy
He feels so special to be someone's older brother, he will be proud of each of the things you do, however silly, simple or even if they are poorly done, he will smile at you giving a thumbs up in approval.
Needless to say, he's pretty protective around you, like, he knows you're safe and you know how to fend for yourself, but he'll always be there to let others know that they'll have to deal with him if they do anything to you.
He doesn't really care who you decide to pair up with unless that person makes you cry.
Very, very clingy, he loves to sleep cuddling with you because he says you are a perfect pillow. Lots of unexpected hugs because it's always a good time for a hug.
There is no discussion, he will not let you stay on your home island, you are being part of his crew whether you like it or not, because he wants to live adventures by your side.
An accomplice in his food thefts directly or indirectly, he always gets you involved in his discussions with Nami, he uses you as carte blanche to get out of Nami's blows unscathed because she wouldn't hit you, she knew when you got into trouble and most of the time you were just dragged.
You got your first wanted poster (because of him) and he hung it next to his, Ace and Sabo's.
Tumblr media
Law
Well, you weren't really his biological sister, but he treated you like one, he met you after Corazon's death. You were only a few years younger than him but you helped him when he came to your island, he was a tough nut to crack, but he needed someone's help to survive and you opened the doors of your house to him, well, those of the orphanage.
He found himself more attached to you during those teenage years because you were the only person who took care of him when he passed out from exhaustion after so many hours studying medicine.
Then, years later, he asked you to be part of his crew, you had no connection to the island, so you accepted.
Now, he's not the cuddly type, you'll just get a hug from time to time, maybe when you're sick.
You don't get special treatment, at least not in the eyes of the crew, behind closed doors Law can be more open with you, be prepared for nights talking about his concerns.
Say goodbye to having some kind of simple and fleeting romance, this man will glare at anyone who seems to have the slightest interest in you, first of all he has to do his research on that person.
Very afraid of losing you, considering you family, he doesn't want you to suffer the same fate as Corazon, so the 'Doflamingo topic' is completely out of your hands.
He keeps you hidden from all danger so you won't get a bounty on your head, at least not so soon, the last thing he wants is unwanted attention towards you.
Tumblr media
Eustass Kid
Being related to Kid implies being related to Killer equally, the only difference is that you and Kid shared the same blood, but the three of you were basically raised together.
Unlike them, you weren't a fan of fights, but you had to get involved in them because of them, at least you learned how to punch.
Kid is a proud asshole and he can't let his image and ego get spoiled by someone weak, so put on a tough stance because even if you're not as brutal as them, you'll have to look it.
Facing the public, he is totally closed to any type of contact, the rude boys don't give hugs. You've had so many arguments with him because of it, sometimes you think he just doesn't love you because it's hard to show his love for you.
Killer always solves these fights between you two, he knows that you love each other but if you have something alike it's that you're just as stubborn, neither will give their arm to ask for an apology. He is the voice of reason for both of you.
Anyway, say goodbye to anyone who tries to conquer you, he will scratch out the eyes of anyone who wants to try to make a move with you, he is not going through those things, he knows how most relationships end and the least he needs is to see you cry for any useless bitch.
This leads to more fights because he's not even willing to negotiate if you can go out with someone he's been watching for a while for doing something suspicious.
The redheaded idiot cares about you, but none of that will come out, unless you're dying, because if he lives to see you dying he'll be on his knees crying like a fucking baby.

Chapter 21: The Rule
Wings spread wide, the flames had dissipated and faded away. You were massive. Larger than you even thought you could’ve been. Big enough to carry several people on your back. Ace was small on the ground, but not so small that you didn’t know it was him.
His fire. His sun.
Your gaze shifts at the thought and you see the sun rising into the sky. Some part of your body twitches, as though at this size you could make the flight. You hear Ace yell your name, and feel his hands grab the soft feathers he could reach.
“Change back!” He’s seems almost ready to climb you, if he has to, to be heard. “CHANGE BACK!”
You lean down and step back, gently bonking him with your cheek. Gentle as you are with the action he grunts, arms grabbing onto your face to keep himself upright.
“Don’t fly away.” The words are softer, but desperate. There’s a fear in them, in his fingers, that you’d never felt before. You weren’t sure if it was because you’d flown into his fire, or because he could sense your desire to fly into the very sun.
You’re afraid to talk in this form, worried that a whisper would leave your mouth like some rumbling mountain. You’re certain you’re not quite that big, but everything is sharper, closer, farther away, muted, brighter. It’s hard to know what part of it all that you’re actually interacting with.
You remember Marco’s words, and focus on the parts of yourself that you know well. Hands, fingers, the curve of your elbow into your forearm. All the small details that few others would know or pay attention to, and slowly you shrink, and shift.
Ace’s arms around your face turn into arms around your body. He’s not holding onto you tightly, but he makes no move to step back as you change, as though you would slip away into pieces of ash if he let go entirely.
“Sorry,” you say quietly, and Ace’s arms tighten around you.
“You’re okay.” He says softly, words disappearing into your hair. “It’s okay.” You can feel his heart thundering in his chest, his fingers trembling against you, and his warm breath sinking into your hair.
“I scared you.”
“You terrified me.” He corrects, his grip loosening a little as a nervous sound escapes him. “I thought I…” His body trembles, and you remember Sabo’s words. About Ace having his own demons. Between his curse and his father, it wasn’t hard to know what he was thinking.
Especially since you’d just got done literally flying into his flames.
“… You’re not cursed to hurt everyone you love.” You say quietly, arms returning the trembling embrace. “And you apparently can’t hurt me at all.”
You lean back a little to give him a smile, and he tries to return it.
“What happened?”
You open your mouth, close it, and then shake your head. “I don’t know. It was like staring into the sun, and some part of me just took over.”
“… Some part of you took over… and flew you into my fire?”
“Sun.” You correct. “I… we?… Thought it was a sun.” You look at your hands for a moment before you leaned into him, setting your head against his chest. “All I could think was that the sun was full of peace, and life, and safety. That I needed to be in it.”
“… We?” He questions, stepping back and looking into your eyes.
You nod. “It’s… it’s not over-bearing, or it wasn’t, but there’s something else.” Your brows furrow and your face scrunches up in thought. “Like an instinct. A driving force you have to be very conscious of to override. When people run upstairs in fear because up in a tree is safe, so up in a building is too, but if you stop and think about it, it’s a bad idea for certain situations.”
Ace grins. “Like being chased by a murderer.”
You laugh. “Yeah! Not a situation where many people stop and think before panic-dashing upstairs.”
“Or into a ball of fire.”
You flinch a bit and lean into him again, giving him a hug. “I am really sorry-.”
“It’s alright.” He interrupts, fingers in your hair and against the small of your back. “Now that we know we can be careful about it.”
“Should probably tell Marco.” You mutter, letting your cheek smush against him and enjoying the warmth.
“I can let him know Monday,” Ace offers, hands moving against you soothingly. “Let’s get the rest of the stuff in the truck and head back.” He kisses the top of your head. “You can rest on the way back as long as you keep me company for naps when we get home.”
“Rest? Why would I-?” Your sentence breaks as exhaustion buckles you. If not for Ace you would’ve just folded into the grass. “What?”
“Breakthroughs with curses are always exhausting.” Ace says with a soft chuckle, lifting you up easily and getting you situated in the passenger seat of the truck. “You might have been energized by my fire, but you turned into a massive bird, palomita, and that takes a lot of energy.”
He gives you a crooked, understanding smile as your eyes droop against your will. “We need to build up your stamina.”
“Yeah… I…” You  mutter, trying to voice your agreement, before everything goes dark and exhaustion pulls you into a deep sleep.
A deep enough sleep you don’t wake as Ace gets the last few heavy items loaded into the truck, and you don’t wake as his fingers slip through yours, but the warmth soothes your dreams.
Dreams of flying. White feather glimmering with rainbows at their edges from the sun that warmed you. A song that rang clear and multi-layered in the open air. A sound that banished… something. Something that befouled the edges of your dream, but the sound pushed it back.
No.
Pulled it in.
The taint was discomforting in its color, in its sensation. Thick and heavy in your lungs, full of needles and searing pain in your muscles. It soaked into you as the world became healthier.
Despite how it felt like sludge against your tongue, you weren’t afraid of it. It was your nature to take in all the ichor and illness into yourself. You could survive it. You survived decades of it. This was nothing. This was temporary.
As so you flew up, and up, and ever upward in your dream until you and all the cruelties that were bound to your bones were consumed by the sun. Fire burned away everything that clung to you, but it was little more than soap and water against your skin, leaving you refreshed.
Refreshed enough you managed to open your eyes.
You were warm, and comfortable. Really warm. There was a steady rhythm that was already working with the warmth to lull you back to sleep, but you managed to open your eyes enough to take in your surroundings.
The blanket was pulled up to your shoulders, and you could see Sabo in a chair across from you. He was reading a book quietly, and looked up to see you looking at him. He put one gloved finger to his lips, smiling in a way that made you wonder why he looked so cat-like.
The soft sound of snoring caught your attention as you rose ever so slightly up and back down.
Realization sank in before you even looked to be sure, but you were curled up in Ace’s lap while he was laid out on the recliner. His hands were very carefully placed so he could keep you comfortable without being untoward.
“He wouldn’t go into your room or his,” Sabo begins, voice barely above a whisper. “Didn’t want to wake you or worry you, but wanted to nap with you.” He closes his book and smiles brightly. “This was the compromise.”
Your brother’s explanation, and his very existence honestly, were just making you more and more embarrassed, but you were also entirely too comfortable to want to move. Instead you reached up and lifted Ace’s hat, which was barely on his head as it was, and set it over your own face.
You could hear Sabo chuckle quietly as he got up. The soft click of shoes against the floor was the only indication he was drawing nearer. His voice was even softer than before, but you heard him loud and clear.
“There’s a rule about hats, little sister.” He says in a teasing tone before leaving the room entirely.
You pull the hat down a little harder, and can tell that Ace is awake.
“I can feel you smiling.” You grumble in your current flustered state.
“Lots ta’ smile about.” He replies quietly, moving just enough to hug you close for a moment.
“… What’s the hat rule?”
“Mm, who knows?” He muses, the delight apparent in his voice. “Wanna nap a little longer? It’s barely evening.”
“Is there… is there a time element to the hat rule?” You mutter and feel Ace trying desperately to suppress a laugh.
“There isn’t, mi luz.” He grins as you look up at him and kisses your forehead. “The rule’s effect is instantaneous.”
You relax, letting yourself get comfortable again before you say, very slowly, and as threateningly as you can. “So you do know what the hat rule is.”
The nervous chuckle that escapes Ace feels like a tiny victory as the two of you doze back into another nap. It’s not just his body heat that makes it easy to fall asleep around him, but it’s also how comfortable he makes you feel.
After all, even you have heard of the hat rule.

all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing
wild heart au
read on ao3
x
Sanji has known Sabo for much less than a month, but he’s already become one of the very last people on earth that Sanji could imagine crying. He’s too big for that, too tough—the kind of boy Sanji’s brothers would admire, probably, one who isn’t afraid to dig in with his heels and fight dirty and use his teeth to win. Nothing like the weak-willed, tender-hearted, soft-skinned failure of the Germas. 
But Sabo’s eyes are red and puffy, for the split second Sanji gets a glimpse of them, and it’s shocking. The older boy turns his back on the rest of them, crouching by the fire and prodding it viciously with a stick. Ace, who saw where Sanji’s gaze got stuck, folds his face into an impressive scowl. 
“Don’t ask,” he says, in a tone that implies it is not a suggestion. 
“I won’t,” Sanji says quickly, hands clutching on the strap of his bag anxiously. Ace clocks it with a flick of his dark eyes and scoffs, but before Sanji can decide how he feels about it one way or another, Luffy’s arm stretches past him to give Ace a solid shove.
“We can only have one sad brother at a time!” Luffy declares. It seems like he can’t decide if he should whisper or shout, but Sanji secretly doesn’t think Luffy would know how to keep his voice down if someone held a gun to his head, so the result is a normal talking voice in a weird pitch. “Don’t make Sanji feel bad, too, or I’ll hit you!”
“You wanna die?” Ace grumps back, bearing his teeth like one of the animals they hunt for dinner, but he capitulates surprisingly easily. Sabo’s mood seems to have knocked him off-kilter. That’s probably why he doesn’t argue the brother comment. 
Sanji is pretty sure the older boys don’t like him very much, but Luffy makes up for it. Luffy isn’t quiet or shy about the things he hates or the things he likes, and Sanji would have to be deaf and blind to miss how much Luffy likes him. 
It makes him willing to put up with Ace and Sabo’s bad attitudes—willing to spend his free time climbing a mountain, picking his way carefully to the edge of the dense, looming rainforest, and cook meals for a group that is two-thirds suspicious and ungrateful—because then he’ll get to see Luffy’s big, silly smile. 
Sanji is quickly learning that he would do almost anything to see that. 
“His family is stupid,” Luffy pipes up. “They have all these weird ideas that Sabo should be like them , even though he’s already like somebody—he’s like Sabo. And they do mean things when he doesn’t pretend the way they want him to—today they forgot his birthday on purpose.”
He’s not being quiet enough; Sanji can see Sabo hearing every word. But Ace doesn’t shut him up, and Sanji can guess why. The tension in Sabo’s shoulders is unwinding, until he doesn’t look so much like a creature curled up to defend itself against a kick. Suddenly he’s just Luffy’s smart-aleck big brother again, who’s sitting slouched by the fire because he’s a little tired, or a little sad. And he’s listening to the inane ramblings of a scrawny seven-year-old boy as if they mean something very important to him. 
Luffy lifts his hand to cup the side of his mouth, inviting Sanji in on a secret, because he still thinks he’s being sneaky. Sanji feels a burst of fondness in his chest that he can’t help, like his insides are nestled in a warm stove, and leans in agreeably. 
“I don’t know why anybody who was lucky enough to have a Sabo would want him to be anything but Sabo. Sabo’s the best! Don’t tell Ace, though.”
Ace’s hackles go up. He doesn’t actually have porcupine quills but he might as well since he bristles just like one and makes it painful for anybody who sticks their hand too close to him. But then Sabo makes a smothered sound, shoulders shaking with laughter that he’s trying to keep behind his hand, and it defangs Ace instantly. 
He still calls Luffy a brat and cuffs him on the head as he walks by. It’s gentle by their standards, and Luffy’s skull just bounces with the motion like a volleyball, but Sanji pats him gently in the same spot just to be sure. 
Luffy reaches up to cling to his hand and beams up at him, this little pocket-sized star. 
“What are you going to cook for us today?” he asks enthusiastically, and the mention of food has his brothers looking over, too. Sabo is still a little pale and quiet, but his icy blue eyes aren’t flinching away from the rest of them anymore. 
Sanji can’t help but think about it, though, when he’s lying awake in his bunk on The Orbit later that night. And he thinks about it when he gets up and makes his way down into the kitchen. There is usually still one or two people milling about even at this hour, and the baker gives him permission to use the oven as long as he promises to clean up after himself, and that’s how, at something like two o’clock in the morning, Sanji finds himself looking at a birthday cake that got away from him.
It’s three tiers, the sponge infused with pineapple, with a spread of filling between each layer that’s as thick and tart as a jam, and the whole of it is covered evenly in white buttercream frosting with a fluffy blue border piped around the top and bottom. He doesn’t add any extra embellishments, because he’s certain the boy it’s for won’t appreciate it, but he wants Sabo to know it’s for him and not something extra Sanji just took off a shelf. So he pipes that signature crossed-out S on the top and then boxes the whole thing up and sticks it in the fridge before he can second-guess himself anymore. 
The next morning, after a few fitful hours of sleep, he drops the cake off at the Party Bar, red-faced and embarrassed. The owner of the bar is a kind woman Luffy took Sanji to meet once in his chaotic, haphazard way that feels more like he’s just showing off his favorite things than introducing people. Makino seems to be the brothers’ point of contact for things like fresh milk and shoes without holes, and takes their rude comings and goings with the patience of a saint. 
She looks a little confused to have a big pastry box shoved into her hands by a relative stranger, but kindly promises to pass it along when Sanji is able to mumble out who it’s for, and at that point Sanji bolts out the door. 
He almost gets away with it. Maybe. He probably should have just stayed on the ship all day if he really wanted to hide, but his seniors on the staff are still adamant about keeping him away from the clientele for his own safety. 
So he’s crouched by the tidepools, watching colorful, spiny creatures living without a clue or a care how big the world is outside their tiny little place in it, when he’s tackled to the ground. 
Sanji gets a mouthful of sand and coughs and hacks and yells without looking, “Luffy!” Because there’s only one insane rubber boy who would rocket himself across the beach in an affectionate full-body slam for no other reason than to get to his hug faster. 
“You made Sabo a cake!” he shouts, like he’s trying to let the whole island know about it. “He won’t say it, but thank you, thank you! We ate the whole thing!” 
When Sanji is finally able to squint his eyes open, past the grit on his face and the sun pointing down on top of him, he’s able to make out Luffy’s blond brother standing over them. Sabo’s staring down at Sanji like he’s never seen anyone like him before. He doesn’t look unhappy or annoyed, he looks like he hasn’t decided how to look at him at all. 
Sanji shoves at Luffy until he gets the hint and lets him up. Only he gets the hint in his overly-enthusiastic Luffy way, and hauls Sanji to his feet with gusto, both his hands wrapped tight around one of Sanji’s arms. He’s very quick to grab onto people. Sanji isn’t sure he knows the first thing about how to let go. 
“Why?” Sabo demands. 
Because Sanji used to get birthday cake. He remembers being very little, lifted up into mama’s warm arms when she was still strong enough to lift him. He remembers the fragrant smell of her hair as she cuddled him close and carried him over to a beautiful little dessert.
“Make a wish,” she would tell him. “Keep it a secret so it comes true.”
Sanji is grown up now and knows those things are for children. And he knows that Sabo is so much stronger than Sanji is, and braver, and rebels against his family right to their faces in a way that Sanji would never, ever be brave enough to copy even if he lived for a million years. Sabo almost definitely doesn’t miss birthday cakes, of all things. 
But Sanji remembers how loved he felt when mama held him up to blow out the candles. The absence of that feeling carved a hole inside him that never went away. He isn’t anyone important to Sabo, but he’s someone who can give him a cake. 
He doesn’t know how to say any of that. All he says, more to the scars on his hands than to anyone else, is, “My family was mean, too.”
For a brief moment, neither of the brothers say anything. Then two skinny arms latch themselves around his waist—wrapping twice, then three times more than human arms are capable of. Luffy’s frowning up at him with that petulant expression he wears when he’s been wronged. 
But Sabo is the one who says, “Take me to them someday and I’ll beat them up.”
Sanji’s knee-jerk reaction is one of anxiety. “No, um, that’s okay. My brothers are really strong. And my dad is really scary.”
“I’ll be stronger and scarier,” Sabo announces unremarkably, folding his arms. “And I’ll have Ace,” he adds, like that’s his trump card. It’s not a bad trump card. Fighting Ace is like fighting a force of nature, or a rabid coyote. Most sensible people turn and run. 
“And me!” Luffy announces. 
“You aren’t going anywhere near my dad,” Sanji is quick to shoot him down, heart racing just thinking about Judge putting his hands on sunny, smiling Luffy. He would—he doesn’t know what he would do. But he would do something. He would go crazy. 
Luffy swells like an offended little toad, with probably plenty to say at being left out of this make-believe conflict that’s never actually going to happen in real life. 
Before he can burst with whatever silliness he’s got to say, Sanji cuts in with, “So you liked the pineapple filling in the cake?”
It cuts the wind right out of Luffy’s sails. Food always distracts him. He blinks a few times, absorbing the question, then says, “Yes! It was the best cake I’ve ever had! Ace said so, too!”
Sabo looks like he’s decided how he wants to look at Sanji now. It’s the way Luffy’s brothers both look at him. It’s the way people watch stupid puppies too clumsy for their big ideas tumble enthusiastically into trouble—funny for a few seconds, and then it’s your responsibility to pick them up and put them back on their feet, and they’re lucky they’re worth all the trouble. 
Sabo looks like he’s decided Sanji is worth the trouble.

゚+* ꔫ— his peculiar secret…
Tumblr media
— . 。˚ ♡ We all have our niche little kinks, but have you wondered what peculiar thing hits your lover's strike zone...? — . 。˚ ♡ Fem!Reader w/ Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Vinsmoke Sanji, Trafalgar D. Law, Eustass Kid, Portgas D. Ace, Sabo, Shanks, Benn Beckham, Silver Rayleigh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Monkey D. Luffy
When he sees you sweating and out of breath, something yanks at him from the inside. Whether it be a hot, summer afternoon or right after a tenacious battle against the enemy, seeing your clothes cling to your skin from the perspiration and the way your chest rises with each heavy breath has his gaze lingering on you a little longer than it usually would be.
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Roronoa Zoro
It hits him hard when he sees you covered in bruises and blood after a successful battle. There's something about the way your eyes dart around, hyper-aware of your surroundings, adrenaline still running through your veins that gets Zoro going. Seeing you at your strongest, wildest you've ever been is most likely the hottest thing he's ever seen in his life.
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Vinsmoke Sanji
It's the way you look so harmless, so easy to steal away, when you're asleep. From the way your chest rises slowly to the way your face looks so pretty when unconscious... Sanji has to hold back the very urge to take you then and there, to disturb your peaceful slumber with something much more sinful.
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Trafalgar D. Law
He loves when you ask him to pierce your ears or tattoo you. Law enjoys the control he has over you a little too much when he sits you on the seat, telling you, "Sit still," and the way you listen to his commands without even a second of hesitation. There's just something about how submissive you can end up with just the power of his voice.
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Eustass Kid
A huge sadist at heart; he loves seeing you cry and beg from the pain of everything he deals out to you in bed. He enjoys wondering how far you'll let him go before you finally reach your limit—would it be when he carves his name into your body with a blade, or would it be when he severs one of your limbs to keep as his?
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Portgas D. Ace
Honestly? Ace is a simple man. Seeing your cleavage or thighs exposed would probably have him raring to go on the spot, especially if you were wearing tight, skimpy clothes. His favorite thing to do is dig his face into your tits or soft thighs, enjoying the way you stammer and blush at his actions.
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Sabo
He'll freeze in place, unable to comprehend the situation if you ever call him 'onii-chan' or anything similar. He's an unapologetic brocon and everyone but him seems to know it. If you ever look up at him with doe-like, innocent eyes, calling out, "Onii-chan," he'll throw you under his arm and run towards the bedroom in a dash fast enough to rival the speed of light.
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Shanks
It's when you're drunk and flushed that gets him going. If you come stumbling towards of him, reeking of whiskey and the scent of the ocean, he'll catch you with an arm and revel in how absolutely shit-faced you were. Your glossy eyes, your goofy little smile, your barely incomprehensible speech ... it makes Shanks want to bend you over right then and there to take you.
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Benn Beckham
He loves when you wear nothing but his cape after a good fuck. It's the way the fabric curls and twists around your more petite frame when he looks at you from behind, and the way he can barely make out your soft, supple flesh through the gap of his cape from the front view. It gets him going no matter how often he sees it, so get ready for round two!
.✦ ⵢ₊˚. Silver Rayleigh
Loves your innocence. The way you tilt your head when confused without realizing it, the way you hide your face in your hands whenever Rayleigh whispers something immoral in your ear. He loves the way it feels like he's the big-bad tainting a pretty, pure princess without her even knowing.
