Wait, We Have a Talking Cat?!? (Shanks x Fem Reader)
@kazenomegaminowanpisu ask for shanks x fem reader and that fem reader adopts a magical cat. I got my inspiration for my sassy magical cat from Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I wanted a really sassy cat and Salem was the sassiest! Well, I hope you like it and thanks for the request my friend!
Being the only girl on the Red Force could be lonely. Yes, you were with Shanks. He was the best boyfriend ever, but you know what they say. Boys will be boys. And boy, did those boys live by that phrase. “Hey Shanks,” you asked one night while laying with him in bed, “can I get a cat?”
He looked over at you puzzled. “I mean sure Y/N but why?”
You sighed, “I used to have a cat as a kid named Bingo and I loved that cat. I think it would be fun, plus I’m the only girl so I’d be nice to have a companion that isn’t a grown man.”
Shanks looked at you. His gray eyes looked into your (e/c) ones. He caressed his lovely girlfriend’s right cheek with his hand. “Then on the next island you can go adopt a cat. I’ll tell the boys now. It’ll be like we have Uta back!”
“Are you comparing your own daughter to a cat? Why?”
“Both can be adorable but will rip your head off when angry.”
“Oh god,” you laughed while rolling your eyes.

When you reached the next island, you headed straight for the shops, while Shanks and the rest of the crew headed to the bars. You saw one little pet shop called “Ms. Crystal’s Pets and Magical Goods”. You walked inside and it was not like any shop you had ever seen. The walls were a dark maroon shade while all the lighting was fairy lights or pendants that looked like stars or moons. The shelves were lined with not only pet toys and pet food, but also small little trinkets. You approached the old orniet oak counter where a sweet looking old woman stood. “Hello dear,” she said with a smile, “what can I help you with?”
You smiled back, “I’m looking for a cat. Do you have any?”
“Of course. And I know just the right one for you.”
She disappeared into the back, while you awaited your new little furry friend.

“So he lost his arm saving my namesake,” your cat Luffy asked you. The sweet old lady at the pet store told you that this cat was special, it had magical powers. Besides talking, he could also create objects out of thin air, which came in handy when you ram out of important materials and supplies on the ship. Everyone knew about Luffy’s powers on the ship, everyone except Shanks. All the other boys found out when Luffy accidentally started talking to them about giving him a pet. Benn Beckham’s came when he asked him what Benn was short for: Benjamin, Bennet, Benedict, Bennifer. Luffy talked in front of Shanks, but he was drunk and thought he was seeing things.
“He did lose it saving Luffy,” you replied, “Luffy is a devil fruit user and was drowning so Shanks went in and saved him, but a Sea King ate Shanks’ arm.”
“So my name sake is an idiot?”
“No, he was seven and was thrown into the water.”
Luffy laughed. He was definitely a sassy cat, but you were just as sassy. “Well, I’m hungry, so I’m getting a snack. Do you want anything? Tuna? Maybe a devil fruit like the other Luffy? Then you can go for a swim.”
“I’d love one…wait, are you trying to kill me? Never mind you can’t live without me,” the black cat said, putting emphasis on me.
“Tuna it is then.” you laughed walking out of the room to the kitchen.
A few moments later someone walked into yours and Shanks’ room. Luffy spoke up, “I hope you brought me the nice tuna from the blue can, and not that garbage kind in the red one.”
There was no answer. Luffy looked up and noticed a surprised Shanks, grey eyes wide open.
“Oh crap,” the black cat said with his emerald green eyes wide in shock.
When you return from the kitchen you notice your main man and your magical cat staring at each other.
“When were you going to tell me our cat talked? Does the rest of the crew know?” Shanks asked, grabbing your shoulders, staring at you in complete disbelief.
“All the boys know. Luffy’s talked to you a lot, but you’ve been really drunk,” you laughed.
“I was also the one who created that necklace you bought Y/N for her birthday,” Luffy interrupted. Shanks stared at the cat and then at you.
“He creates objects too! Oh my god I love this cat. What else can you do Luffy?”
“That’s about it but don’t ask me to make you a new arm. I like you, but I tried that once with my old owner. Now she has an extra leg.”
“Awesome.”
“You’re not mad about the cat?” you asked. You were scared that he would want you to get rid of the cat since you never told him.
He smashes his lips into yours. “Of course not. Even if Luffy wasn’t a cool magical cat and instead hated me, I’d let you keep him.”
You kissed him on the cheek and said, “I love you Shanks! If you excuse me, I’m going to go get water.”
“Love you too,” he answered back.
He sat with Luffy for a few seconds in silence until his new favorite feline asked, “So Beckham, does Benn stand for Benjamin or Bennifer?”
