Heyo, how are you? I’m not sure if you celebrate it, but hope you had a great Easter? Would you write another Dokucha story where she’s the daughter of Mihawk and being very secretive whenever she goes somewhere. One day, Mihawk follows her (Crocodile and Buggy follow him too, they’ve got nothing better to do xD) which is easier said than done. She’s very smart (after all she’s Mihawk’s daughter) and tries to make sure not to be followed. Once they find her, they can’t understand what they walked into. Humandrills, Bananawanis, Kung-Fu Dugongs, and many more other animals are living in a secret place together and getting along, and especially, they all love her so so much. Together with her animal family they’re taking care of a wounded Sea King. Buggy is ready to leave the place and never come back, too many fearsome creatures for his taste and Crocodile and Mihawk are just at a loss for words (now Crocodile knows where his pets went, she doesn’t like that he uses them for battles and such, she loves their company and would never want any harm to come to them). Once they sense the three men, all the animals start to become hostile towards them ready to protect Dokucha at all cost.
The Scaly and furry ( mihawk x f!child!reader x crocodile)
A/N I DID IT GUYS AFTER SO LONG I FINALLY DID IT. I din’t have any idea on how to integrate buggy so he kinda got missed out. But here we are another dracule!reader, reader is in ther middle childhood, so young but not a todler but also not a teen. But anyways thank you guys so much for waiting
Tumblr media
Mihawk narrows his eyes as once again his daughter had left in a hurry, leaving behind a poor excuse of wanting to explore the outside. His eyes flickering back to his co-worker as he pipes in
“If you’re that curious about what the brat is up to, we can simply follow her,” Crocodile huffs out, a cloud of smoke leaving his mouth as he spoke
It was easier said than done, seeing as his daughter had inherited haki from him, one she had harnessed under both his and Crocodile’s guidance. But it was still not on par with theirs, which made it possible for the two men to evade her detection, following her as she made her wave through the thick bushes until she arrived at a cove hidden away by trees and boulders.
She blinked, looking back
“I thought I felt something…” she murmured, turning back around smiling as she spotted one of her friends waiting for her at the entrance of a more secluded part of the cove.
“Hi Manny, I'm back!” She called to the Dugong, who made some aggressive punching movements her way as they both entered a more enclosed part of the cove
“I know, I’m sorry. Dad and Cruncle are getting suspicious, so it was harder to get this time,” the girl grumbles, letting out a squeak as she was suddenly lifted off the ground, relaxing when she recognized the presence.
“Enrique, you scared me,” she gasped, giggling when the human drill hugged her tighter
“I ‘m sorry; I know I was gone longer than normal; I'm back,” she said, smiling up at the ape that sat in the branches, letting low hoots as he put the girl down again
“I knew you cared, Enrique!”
A louder set of hoots and disgruntled noises left the Humandrill upon hearing this
“Tell yourself that, but I know you care!” She argued back to the growing cacophony of howls and screams, the occasional gecker leaving the ever-increasing group only to be stopped as Manny, now joined with his own group of dugongs, began emitting a series of whistles to get both of them on track
“Ah right, sorry,” she apologized, making haste to a blue hole deeper down the cove, smiling as a colossal beast surfaced when she kneeled next to it
“Hi Musa, how are they doing? I’m sorry it took me a bit, but I brought the medicine. Would you bring them up?” She spoke as she caressed the bananawani’s jaw, grinning when the latter let out a satisfied hiss as she sank back into the depths, returning accompanied both only by more of her kind but with a similar-sized beast being supported by their scaly bodies
She frowns at the Sea King’s state as they weakly glance at her, letting out a weak hiss in greeting
“Here, can you open your mouth?” Smiling when they complied, throwing the medication in their mouth
“You’re bigger, so I had to get a couple…hundred, but it sho-AH
Her words were caught up as, for the second time, she found herself airborne, this time; however, the culprit seemed to be a dusty mass dragging her feet in the air and dangling her upside down
As soon as this happened, as a switch being flicked, all the animals in the room became alert, aggresive, the bananawanis crawling out of the water and standing in front of her now dangling body. The dugongs and Humandrills stood in their own formations, preparing to fight the newcomers. Some of the human drills were quick to try to get the girl down, climbing through branches near her position, only to back down as the sand lashed out at them if they got too close
“It’s okay, guys, I know them,” she explains, trying to calm the growing tension in the cove
“Hi dad, hi Cruncle….what are you guys doing here?”
“I reckon we should be the ones asking that question,” Mihawk spoke, staring up at the girl
“What are you doing near them?” Crocodile growled as the creatures began to advance on them, as he flashed them with his haki in return, grinning when they backed away
“Wait, don’t hurt them! I can explain!” She hurried out
Mihawk quirked an eyebrow at that
“They’re my friends!” She chirps only to turn into a squeal as she is raised higher after a shared glance between the ex-warlords
“Dad!” She whined, a frown on her face
“Where did they come from?”
She pouts at that
“Well?”
“The human drills came with me from our old home, and we found the dugongs at the beach.”
Mihawk glances at Crocodile for confirmation on the latter, already knowing how likely it was for the apes to have followed them to the island, seeing how close they had grown in Kuragaina Island
“Dugongs are native to this area,” he confirms
He hums at that
“And the beasts?”
“I sneaked into Uncle’s gloomy room, and they were just there; they were lonely, so, I kind of, umm, let them go?”
Crocodile lets out a scoff at that
“They are huge predators, the only predators to sea kings, and you let them go because they looked lonely?”
“That’s what I just said, dummy.”
“Watch it brat.”
She sticks out her tongue at him in return
Mihawk rolled his eyes, walking closer to her
“What about the sea king?”
“It’s a baby! It got left by his pod, and he got really sick; he found them when me and Musa were out swimming, and we wanted to help them, well Musa wanted to eat them at first….”
“You are going to be the death of me,” he sighed, catching the child as Crocodile released the sand holding them up
Tumblr media
“So…can I come see them again?” She asked the men once they had departed from the cove, much to the chagrin of the animals
They glance at each other before Crocodile begins
“The banawani need to come back.” he started sending her a side glare when she began to protest
“They have a job to do; once they do their job, they are free to go and rendevous with you,” he states
“Job? Do they play with you too, Cruncle? Is their job to keep you company?”
“N-
He pauses at the scathing glare he receives from the swordsman, understanding it was better not to let the young girl know what the reptile’s actual job consisted of
“..They keep me company and help me with some cleaning.”
“Cleaning? Them?” She questions, trying to picture the crocodiles using their huge bodies to tidy up an office
“They get rid of the trash for me.”
“Oh! That sounds like Musa and the rest! They are always hungry,” she laughs
Mihawk nods his head, a silent sign of acknowledgment for the otherwise aloof man
“You have to let me know where you are actually going from now on, no more sneaking out. As long as you do that, you are allowed to continue your peculiar friendship group.”
“Really?!”
“Yes.”
“Thank you, dad!”
A moment of silence envelops the trio as they continue walking, only to be cut short by the girl once again
“Do you want to come to cuddle and play with them with me?”
“No.”
“Worth a shot”
Tumblr media
Again thank you for all the kind words I got saying to take my time, and sorry I completely disregard your words cause LISTEN I WANT TO KEEP GIVEN YOU GUYYS

hiya! How are you? :) so i was thinking like child reader and the whitebeard pirates and basically reader gets caught like sneaking out at midnight and they sneak out of moby dick and whitebeard is still awake and sitting on his like chair in the middle of the deck and notices? I think this one will be quite interesting to read! And i gotta say dude, your pretty damn talented.
Bright Escapes (Whitebeard x gn!child!reader x Izou)
A/N I ‘m SO SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG I DON’t EVEN KNOW IF YOUR STILL HERE IM SORRY BUT HERE YOU. It is still kinda flop so I apologize but I really hope that it gets close to what you were thinking
Reader here is Replaced by Dokucha as a placeholder which stands for Reader in Japanese

Tumblr media
The Deck of the Moby Dick laid quiet, not even the talk of the night watch to be heard. Only the sound of the waves crashing against the ship and the port they had stopped at could be heard.
Perhaps that’s why they thought that the night watch would hear the sound of their heartbeat as they hung from one of the lower sails, preparing to jump again to the next one, trying to evade the sharp eyes of the night watch. They regretted not checking which of their brothers would be leading the night watch today, as now they had to hide from the two who had the best eyesight and ability to spot moving targets, Izou and Curiel.
But they couldn’t back down now, not when they had gotten so close to sneaking off the ship. They would only jump one more time, and then they would be off the boat.
“Heh, I'm so closed!” They grinned
That feeling was short-lived as once they made their final jump, a familiar shock traveled through their air, breaking their balance and causing them to fail the jump, only to something to catch their fall.
“Where are you going, twerp?”
They wince at the booming voice, turning on their palm to face him
“Ummm, Hi Papaw….” The child mutters
He narrows his eyes at them as they drop them to the ground, ignoring the yelp they made as he did.
“Ow… Listen, Papaw, it’s not what it looks like?”
“You’re going to tell me one of my children was not sneaking out of the ship at this time of night.”
“I had a good reason!”
“What?”
“There are fireflies on this Island, Papaw! I’ve never seen them; everyone always says how beautiful the sight is.”
“You tried to sneak into a dangerous Island alone, at the darkest time, to see some insects?”
“Umm…pretty insects?” The child tried to fix it with a nervous smile
“You’re grounded.”
“Okay,” they said, slumping down defeatedly, a pout on their lips
“Seeing as we can’t trust you to stay in the quarters, you are to stay with one of your brothers for the rest of our time here. Go to the Crow’s nest, and you'll spend the night with Izou.”
“Yes, Papaw…”
Tumblr media
Izou lets out a chuckle at the sight of the frowning child who had taken to sitting down knowing the crow’s nest
“It’s not funny!”
“I beg to differ,” he said with a smile
“You know, if you had asked, I doubt he would have said no to taking you to see them.”
“As if! He and all of you are so overprotective he wouldn’t have risked the chance of me going out on an island like this.”
“You do have to understand our point of view, Dokucha; you are our youngest sibling; you’re only a child.”
“I know that,” they grumble, pulling their knees to their chest and placing their head on top of them
“But I just wanted to see them, only once. We usually only stop on Papaw’s lands, and his lands don’t have these views.”
“Come here,” he said, lifting them up and sitting them in the railing of the nest
“Don’t say I never do anything for you,” he said, handing them a spyglass
They glanced at him hesitantly, looking over the spyglass only to come up with nothing, simply the dark land staring him across the instrument
“Gee, Thanks; I‘ve always wanted to look at grass at night…are you just rubbing it in?”
“Just keep looking,” he mutters, ignoring the kid’s jabs as he pulls out his Flintlock and fires a shot toward the land
Just like that, a blanket of fireflies welcomed them as the fireflies scattered from their hiding spots among the grass, trees, and bushes to escape the sudden movement
Dokucha looks in awe as the fireflies flicker around, giving the coast an ethereal glow as the insects flew around, some illuminating the crashing waves, the blue sea below them reflecting the light in a show of lights orchestrated by mother nature.
“Wow…”
“Still think it’s just grass at night.”
They take their eyes off the spyglass to look at Izou
“Thank you, Big Brother! It’s everything I thought it would be and more,” he awed, returning his attention to the spyglass
In response, the Sniper ruffled their hair
“Anything for our little sibling.”

“Mind telling me again what you were doing hiding on the ship?” Ace questions, the small toddler sitting in front of him with a smile
“I came in Dad’s boat.”
“Okay, well, do you know how long ago was that?”
“Eighty days ago!” She said, raising five fingers
Ace turned around to glance at Marco, sharing a look with him
“Will you give me a moment, sweetcheeks?” Smiling as she nodded, standing up to walk towards Marco
“You think she was here that long?” He question
“Children that young don’t have the concept of time yet, so no matter how much we asked, we probably won’t know how long he was down there. But based on what we know, we can assume that they were abandoned,” Marco sighs
“So, we can keep them then?”
“Is that all you heard from that?” he grumbled
“Come on, Marco, look at him; you can’t deny you want that little face around the ship.”
“That’s not the issue here.”
“It’s all that matters; his own father abandoned him; he doesn’t have anywhere to go; he needs someone to be there for him, especially now when he can’t even defend himself.”
Marco’s eyes soften at that as he glances back at the boy
“I guess Pops will never say no to a son, especially a child.”
“Ace beams at that, giving Marco a pat on the back, much to the doctor’s displeasure
“Here you go, Dokucha; you should eat something; I made you some croissants.”
“I love boissonts!”
Ace furrows his eyebrows at this
“Croissants”
“Boissants”
“You’re so cute pumpkin’” Thatch laughs
Tumblr media
I based this on an interaction I had with one of my students, he usually uses b for c words, boissont, boshier, it’s hella cute

Alright so the nezuko fic right?
ALSO SPOILERS ABOUT DEMON SLAYER
Ok so in my request I said that the reason that ace brought along reader is because he's looking for a cure right?
Imagine in marineford (thatch lives #justiceforthatch) whitebeard just orders reader to hide because there's gonna be sunlight and he does not want reader to get hurt or burnt
Reader escape but gets notice by izou who starts pushing her back gently towards the ship as she reach towards ace
So when ace is about to save luffy (a.k.a getting donut) reader just kicks them away (accidentally separating the two) then starts burning (not by akainu but the sun) So ace grabs reader as law grabs luffy
Ace then starts shouting at reader to shrink which they did but it didn't really help as the ace carries reader while running towards the ship (the Moby dick survived here)
Reader looks behind realizing that akainu is still chasing them then she kicks ace away hard like really hard
Let's skip of time a bit
The whitebeard pirates re group at spinx (whitebeard home island) mourning reader then all of the sudden they hear a sweet voice
'I'm.... I'm home everyone'
They then saw reader with the red haired pirates (who saved reader from akainu)
Then they found out before reader became a demon reader already eaten a blue spider lily (the cure) back then before she met ace and the others
Anyways thanks for listening on my ramblings 🥰
Don't forget to eat sleep and drink! Have a good day/ afternoon/ night!
Okurr okurr I hear you, 🤔
First of all apologize for the level of disrespect ect you just did tk Ace by saying ‘getting donut’
Next of all maybe?? Maybe different scenarios of possibilities of what could have happened? So many possible paths it could take

HEY! HEY! HEYYY! IT'S MEE
Anyways today is now birthday 😍🎂 (A.k.a April 4)
Can I request a whitebeard pirates x fem child reader?
Like the reader is like nezuko from demon slayer
Let's say that reader comes with ace to find a cure
So basically ace was figthing jinbe and whitebeard arrives and then ace and whitebeard starts fighting until ace pass out but before ace can pass out reader attacks then because she's very protective of her family 🥺
Then they basically distract reader so that they can aboard ace into the ship then out of nowhere reader starts running around because the sun was rising and she has no option but to go with the whitebeard pirates
So basically everyone was suspicious because why was reader wearing a muzzle? And why does reader only comes out in the night or stays in shades?
But if anyone tries to question ace gets really defensive because he thinks they'll kill reader because she's a demon
So in the end whitebeard first found out then Marco then thatch (f u Blackbeard) then izou then everyone?
Thank youuuuu ✨✨
Demonically adorable (Whitebeard pirates x f!child!reader!)
A/N, im not gonna lie cosmo, I was totally gonna skip this one and leave it for later but I got to actually reading and looking back at when ace joined and omg the ideas just started flowing, some things are not exactly as your prompt or don’t go as in depth so I really hope you enjoyed this, because I certainly enjoyed writing it
Reader here is replaced by dokucha which stands for Reader in Japanese
Dividers by @/saradika
Tumblr media
Dokucha's eyes widen as she runs towards Ace, trying to shake him awake, growling at the giant in front of them
“Hmm? So he has a little brat with him?”
The only response he receives is the sound of hisses and growls behind the child’s muzzle
“Back down, Dokucha, you’re no match for him…my father’s rival,” he grunts out
“I won’t lose,” he growls, beginning to stand up and ignoring the worried fussing of the child
“Heh, so you've still got some fight left, huh? Look, I'm not going to kill you today; you are far too valuable to someone to die here”, the man said, gesturing at the small child next to him
“Join me and become my son,” he says, reaching out his hand to the flame man
“Don’t screw with me, old fart,” he growls, slapping his hand away and launching himself toward the Emperor, only to be knocked back
Dokucha let out a sound close to a cry as she ran towards Ace, trying to shake him awake once again, snapping her head up at the sound of Whitebeard’s steps approaching them
She growls, standing in front of Ace, shielding him, her eyes shrinking to slits as the man continues to approach the two, her eyes glancing behind him as a blue flame approaches them
She watches as a blue flame grows closer until she is able to discern the shape of a bird landing next to the man
“Are we taking him with us?” He asks, glancing at Whitebeard
“Yes, he’s knocked out. He will be no problem, but I reckon the little one won’t go as easily.”
“I can handle her, Pops; Thatch will take care of the boy and his crew.”
“So I said, but you aren’t making this easy,” he sighs, evading another lunge from the girl
“And here I thought the other one would be the troublesome,” he spoke, catching a kick that he sent his way and pushing her back
She catches herself, gripping the ground with all fours as she immediately leaps towards him again, growling at him and showcasing the sharp canines now on full display, the muzzle long gone as her body begins to mature rapidly.
He quirks his head at that,
“That body of yours, is it the Toshi-toshi no mi?” He questions, flying out of the way to avoid her attack
She grits her teeth, looking at the airborne phoenix, preparing to jump up to meet him in the air until he suddenly flew down and trapped her between his talons
He hums, glancing at her expression, noting how the angry expression she had worn at the beginning had shifted to a worried one as she kept glancing around, presumably looking for Where they had taken Ace
“Hey,” he calls, frowning as she ignored his call as she tried to free herself
“Oi, Calm down, I'm not gonna hurt you,” he hollered, trying to settle her down
“You’re just trying to protect him, right?”
She pauses her attempts to free herself at the question
“We’re not going to hurt him; all the contrary, we want to help him,” he explained, huffing as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously
“I promise,” he said, returning his upper body to his human form as he raised his hands in a surrendering motion
“Listen, how about I take you to him? You can stay with him, and we can talk about this in the morning.”
She looks at him, nodding, as her body slowly returns to her original childish state
He kept her for a few seconds, trying to determine if she was really giving up, removing his talons when it was clear she had no more fight on her
Tumblr media
She yawned, glancing around her to take in the room she was in; remembering the events of last night, she jumped off the bed, grabbing her umbrella, and poking her head outside of the room.
“Hey, pumkin’, I see you’re awake,” a voice pipes in
She looks towards the voice, spotting a man dressed in Chef clothes smiling back at her
She looks at him for a few moments before reaching one of her hands towards him, opening and shutting it as her other hand held the umbrella
He grins and easily picks her up
“What’s with the umbrella sweetpea?”
She points her hand up
“Hmm? The sun?”
She nods
“Are you sensitive to sunlight?”
Another nod
“Well, I’ll be damned, Marco did mention you were quite unique,” he said, looking her over, deciding not to comment on the bamboo piece between her teeth
“But just as cute, aren't ya, darlin?” He said, tickling her neck
Muffled giggles escape her at the action as she nuzzles deeper into him, trying to escape the sudden attack
They both turn at the sound of a door slamming open, looking as a disheveled Ace left the room, looking around, confused
“Looks like sleeping beauty finally woke up; how about we go say hi?
She leans the umbrella against his shoulder to free her hand as she pulls at his clothes
“Something wrong?”
She points at Ace, puts her hands together, leans her head against it in a sleeping motion, and then puts her wrists together, joining and separating her hands
“A sleeping crocodile?”
She shakes her head, repeating the motions
“Are you… are you trying to say he is snappy when he wakes up?”
She beams, nodding her head
He snickers at that
“I like you,” he said, walking closer to Ace as he threw himself against the walls of the ship, sliding all the way down and gripping his head only to snap it up at the sound of Thatch’s voice
“Hey, there; I'm Whitebeard’s fourth division commander, Thatch. I'm a good friend to have if you’re going to be joining us he said, sitting down on the railing, gingerly placing Dokucha on his lap
“Shut up!” He growls
“And give me back my sister he said, standing up and snatching the small girl from him, returning from his previous position as he hugged her
“Hahaha! She was right; you are kind of snappy when you wake up,” he teased as he continued to explain what had happened when he passed out, teasing him further when he questioned the lack of restraints on him, replying that such a thing was not needed on him.
Tumblr media
The next few weeks were but a blur to the small girl, every day following the same pattern for a while. Every day, Ace would ask her to stay behind as he would go after Whitebeard only to be launched back repeatedly. During these times, Dokucha took to bonding with the different brothers on the ship, as they cared for her when Ace was busy with his assassination attempts.
“How many times has it been already?” Questioned Vista as he watched as once again Ace was thrown out of the Captain’s quarters
“More than a hundred”
“How could such a sweet thing be able to deal with that hothead, always madder than a wet hen, ain't that right pumkin’?” Thatch questions as he bounced the small girl on his legs, smiling at the muffled laughs that escaped her.
“Stop moving so much, Izou,” grumbled as he continued to work on the girl’s hair upon her request
“There you go,” he said, backing up with a smile
She beamed, jumping off Thatch’s lap and twirling around, showcasing her new hairdo
“Say, how come you wear that muzzle all the time?” Someone questions
“Mind your own business,” Ace grumbled, dripping wet as he passed them and snatching the small girl up as he went, who gave the men behind her a wave as she left
Tumblr media
“I think your brother should be about done with his daily attempt. Should we get this to him?” Marco questioned the girl on his hip as his other hand held a bowl of soup, smiling as she bounced her head up and down
He chuckles at the action as he exits the kitchen and walks over to the spot where Ace laid, gently putting Dokucha and the bowl of soup next to him
A whine escaped the girl as he left, running after him as he took his leave
“Hey, what’s wrong? You can stay here with Ace. “ his actions differed from his words as he picked up the child again
“Tell me, why do they call him pops?” Ace grumbled, watching the interaction between the first mate and his sister
“Because he calls us sons, it’s just a word, but it’s nice, isn't it? Most of us are hated by everyone and don’t have families of our own, so that alone means everything to us,” he said, watching him for a moment and sighing, walking over to him and kneeling down, placing the girl next to them
“Hey, when are you going to stop this? I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but you aren’t strong enough to kill him, so you have two options: leave and start anew or stay and bear Whitebeard’s mark on your back,” he spoke
“Do try to keep your sister in mind when you make your choice, will you?
I do hope you decide to stick around; we’ve grown fond of the little miss.”
Tumblr media
Ace found himself deep in thought; it seemed like only a day ago he had been mulling over if he would stay or if he would go; now he found himself mulling over if he should become a commander under Whitebeard or not; he glanced behind him as Dokucha ran circles between Marco and Thatch, the men struggling to keep up with her zigzagging.
He sighed as he made his final decision.
“Dokucha, come here”
Tumblr media
So I don’t have full fledged scenarios on the reactions the crew members would react to the news but I do have already thought out how they would react so maybe I can do it in a headcannon format? 👀 Also I really tried to lean in into southern Thatch, without making it too much, what do yall think?

For a whole year I was getting treated for narcolepsy, three different doctors agreed on the diagnosis. But even with medicine I was still struggling, waking up at night, feeling tired during the day and a God awful pain in my throat every-time I woke up.
My dad has sleep apnea so my mom suggested I Id the study, turns out they were right I had been misdiagnosed. I was feeling tired everyday because I never reach Rem sleep, because by the time I would have reached it was waking up due to an episode, 4 5 times every night, getting up and down again.
The pain on the throat was caused but the heavy snoring, it was hurting my throat so badly to the point that just walked with my thorat raw 24/7.
After I got diagnosed I got cPAP machine, and of course not everything is perfect but headaches I used to wake up woth are hone, im no longer dreading waking ip with a raw throat. And I have been able to dream occasionally now, I was never able to dream since I never reached that stage, I would really suggest going to the doctor. I myself went in person.
Now that you mention it quin, I think I have also tossed and turn less, I remember I was so bad at it that I once punched my mom in the face 😳. I used to wake up crying with body pain but it has gotten better!
It is ip to you if you want to go in person or at home but even the in person one is simple, you just go, get hooked up to a bunch of cables that record your pattern and so on, and after that is sleepy time. You don’t really have to do nothing but sit still as they put the cables and then go to sleep! I did have to take something to knock me out at the clinic cause it had gotten to the point I just wasen’t staying asleep for longer than 2 hours, the technician allowed it because he just wouldn’t be able to do the study if I din’t go to sleep
Hello franky san! Hope ur doing okay
Is it possible to ask for comfort hcs of thatch with a s/o who struggles to fall asleep? I’ve been having this problem where my breathing seems to stop when im dozing off, which I then have to get up in my place and gasp for air. It goes on and on like that the rest of the night till I somehow manage to finally sleep. Sometimes I never even go back to sleep coz im just scared it will happen again.
It’s kind of a personal thing and I apologize to you and everyone else if it’s not something that u can relate to.
I hope u having a great day🩷
First of all. I think you MIGHT have sleep apnea [spelling?] and should go to a sleep doctor. That sometimes happens to me and my wife shakes me awake. It's pretty common and I think in severe cases you need a machine to help you at night. I am not a doctor I just know a big bunch of people who have this issue! I would go and check it out ASAP <3
Thatch x GN Reader SFW
Tumblr media
Thatch was the type of person who would be fast asleep the moment his head touched the pillow. He was always out like a light, ready to rise with the sun.
But you were his complete opposite. You struggled to fall asleep and even struggled to stay asleep.
Every day, you wake up groggy and feeling unrested, yet you get ready for your job, doing your duties as a member of the 4th division. Thatch knew you had a hard time resting, so he would try to go easy on you in the kitchen, leaving you to simple chores that didn’t involve anything sharp or hot.
Thatch noticed you tried to avoid going back to sleep sometimes, too shaken up from gasping for air, much like a man who’d been drowning, breaking the surface of the waves to gulp in a breath.
He would comfort you as much as he could, and you’d feel a large, rough hand on your back, rubbing you gently and soothing you as your heart raced. You sighed and closed your eyes, trying to focus on his voice, trying to ground you.
“Shh, shhh, darlin’, it's okay.” he cooed and started to snuggle behind you when he was sure you wouldn’t mind his body against yours when your breathing normalized, and you didn’t seem to be in a state of panic.
“Ugh, I hate it, Thatch. I’m so worried I won’t wake up again,’” you confessed and turned to face him, your tired eyes meeting him as he hummed in thought. We should take you to talk to Birdbrain tomorrow. It’s not right to keep this to yourself. Ya never know. He might have the answers,” he said as he carried on rubbing your back. 
You nodded only half here as your eyes grew heavy. You kept trying to wake yourself each time you heard your breath deepening in a light snore. 
Thatch sat up, leaning against the headboard, his hand now running through your hair, fingers playing with the strands. 
“I’ll stay awake and make sure you're okay. How does that sound?” he offered, and you blinked.
“But won’t you be tired?” he shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. “I’ve already slept a near-full night. Let me stay up these last few hours, and if you stop breathing, I’ll be here to make sure you get up. How's that? My word!”
You felt warmth bloom in your chest. He was such a wonderful man, a perfect partner. “Really?” “Anything for you, darling. You just have to promise me you will see the doctor tomorrow.”
“I promise,” you sleepily mumbled and got comfy.
“Sleep tight,” he said, and you were already snoring softly, feeling safe with him.

Locked Database ( Mihawk x f!reader x Crocodile)
A/N yoooooo, I spent yesterday and today makind this, got stuck a lot but I was determined to make it happened. This one is darker than what you guys are used from me but I wanted feedback that part of me a little bit. Million thanks to @quinloki and @💧Anon for giving me inspiration and ideas for this 👀.
Reader here is replaced by Dokucha as a place holder which stands for Reader in japanese
Dividers by @/saradika
Tumblr media
“You sure stand out, don’t you, Mr. President?” Crocodile growled, shoving the newly distributed paper on Buggy’s Throat
“It wasn’t me, I swear,” he cries
“Then how the hell do you explain it?” He said, sending a swift kick his way, ignoring the pain-filled groan that escaped him.
“I should kill you for that, clown,” he said, inching his hook closer to his neck, pausing as a knife was sent his way, passing right through his sandy body.
Mihawk continued sipping on his wine as a knife was sent his way, simply edging away slightly to avoid it, yellow irises narrowing at a woman standing before them
“Leave him alone,” she growls, a pistol drawn and pointed their way
“Dokucha” Cries Buggy
“Mr.1,” Crocodile calls, dismissedly
“Let him go,” she demanded, breath hitching as an arm wrapped around her neck, a sharp edge to it.
“Drop the weapon,” a voice grumbled behind her.
She grits her teeth, complying as the hold around her tightened, the blade digging into her skin.
“Who are you?” Crocodile asks, raising an eyebrow when his question goes unanswered.
Mihawk takes notice of this and places his wine down, and in one swift movement, takes hold of Yoru and places the sharp edge against Buggy’s neck
“Stop!” She said, trying to make a run towards him being held back by the person behind her
“Who are are you?” Mihawk Drawls
“…”
He quirks a brow at this, digging his sword closer to the Buggy, receiving a whine from the severed head
“Im his sister,” she growls
“Of this clown?” Mihawk inquires, glancing at her
“Dokucha, don’t! You moron, get out of here!” The clown pleads
“Not without you.”
“Wonder if selling you into slavery will be able to get me back all the money this one owes me.”
“Don’t touch h- Agh,” he groans as Crocodile tightens his hold on him
“Perhaps the money she gets us will be enough so we don’t have to sell you, then we can kill you here and now.”
“W-Wait” she exclaims
“You’re starting to annoy me.”
“You said you were starting a new business, right?”
He hums, gesturing to the person behind them
She sighs as the person releases her
“I'm a prodigy at statistics and economy.” She starts
“I have the ability of a devil fruit aiding me as well, makes me a human database, I can calculate in seconds, provide prognostics just as fast, I can reach valuable contacts, gather the information you can only imagine, run enough statistics to power enterprises ”she continued, getting on her knees in front of them
“I know he is an idiot, but he is still my brother; please spare him. I will work for your company; I can easily raise it and make it a formidable force, so please don’t kill my brother.” she spoke bowing her head
Mihawk takes a glance over at the begging woman
“Come here.”
She looked up at the swordsman, slowly getting up and approaching the men
“If you truly are related to this one, then you have to prove your worth,” Crocodile said, pulling out a paper and handing it to her
“These are the current funds we have. Thanks to your brother, we also have the investments we must make for the guild. Tell me how you would make it work.”
She gingerly took the paper and looked it over, her brain beginning to perform calculations, pulling information and strategies from the network, trying to find the best fit
“Well?”
“First, I would take into account the possible outcomes and expenses of these upcoming investments and create an estimated balance sheet of the income and expenses that will be generated as opposed to current investments. After that, I will assess the risk that will be involved with each expected investment and determine the expected rate of return. Additionally, I will create a comprehensive budget and forecast for expected revenues and expenses to ensure that the guild has enough resources to carry out its operations while remaining solvent. I would move funds between areas they are more needed in, I would eliminate funds given to man-power and employees to the guild; my brother has no shortage of workers, so that is something the funds should not be wasted in," she rambles
Crocodile stares at her for a few seconds until an ominous laugh escapes him
“Well, Well, seems one of the siblings is actually competent.” He stays with a grin, letting out a cloud of smoke
“Why would a smart thing like you sacrifice yourself for him?”
“Are you deaf? He is my brother, an idiot, but still my brother; I'm not leaving him to die to the likes of you.”
“That so?”
“Yes,” she growls
He hums, sending a kick to the body in front of him, the smile growing on his face at the painful whines that escaped Buggy as he did so
“Why would you do that?!” She cries, bending down to help her brother, only to stop as a sword is placed at her neck, silently urging her to rise again
She throws a glance at Mihawk as she slowly stands up again
“What are you doing?”
“I don’t appreciate the tone you are taking; if memory serves me correctly, You were the one who got on their knees begging for mercy, and we heard your plea, and in return, you insulted us?” He spoke, raising Yoru and letting a small smile as Dokucha tried to rise with it to avoid being nicked
“Don’t touch her, please! Spare her!”
Crocodile grunts, growing tired of the bluehead’s whines and sending his hook smashing to his temple, knocking him out
“Buggy!” Dokusha cried, hissing when the sword dug into her skin as she tried to step closer to her brother
“Now we can have a talk without that clown interrupting,” Crocodile spoke, letting out another train of smoke escape him
“Need I remind you that you are not the one at the advantage here, Darling?” he began leaning back
“You are outwitted, outnumbered, and outpowered; you stand no chance to leave of this unharmed, much less that brother of yours; we decided to hear your deal out but never said we would agree.”
“…”
“You certainly are an asset, and now that we know what you are capable of, we can’t allow you to leave.”
“We will spare his life; we will let him become the figurehead of crossguild, make him the scapegoat.” Mihawk continues
“A coward like him is sure to obey without complaint, especially with you in the picture. But that also brings us to you,” Crocodile spoke, looking at her mockingly. Turning to one of his subordinates and began to mutter some orders to them
“Eyes on me,” Mihawk called, pulling her attention away from the scarred man and back to him
“Seems you have more common sense and pride than him, but don’t forget where you stand.”
She grits her teeth, holding back her tongue from snapping back at him, knowing that no matter what she said, no matter what came out her mouth, he was not wrong. Her ability was the only thing keeping her alive and on their radar; she wasn’t and probably would never be a significant threat to the two Warlords.
He smiles at this
“Down,” he orders
“I ‘m not a damn mutt.”
“Yes, a dog wouldn't be this much trouble to train,” he muses
“You da-
“Down, girl,” he repeats, a firmer tone in his voice
She glares at him as she eventually does as he wants and kneels on the ground in front of them
“That will do,” she hears Crocodile mutter as the subordinate returns with something in his hands; she tries to turn to asses what the item
Was but was stopped by the sword again
“Eyes on me,” the swordsman repeats
“You have no idea what you are dealing with,” she sneers
“We do. Thanks to your pleas and little demonstration we do, and that’s why we will take precautions,” the familiar voice of Crocodile rumbles behind her; before she jad time to register his words, the sound of something snapping, and the slight weight on her shoulders answer her question
‘They put a damn collar on me.’
“You have quite the ability; we can’t have you trying to communicate with someone who would create a problem for us or divulging important information, so from now on, we get to decide when and how you use that devil fruit of yours.”
A feeling of dread envelops her as she tries to enter her mindscape only to be unable to find anything
“Sea stone,” Crocodile confirms
“As I said, we get to decide when and how you use it from now on, little Plover.”
“So let’s talk about what is going to happen now”
Tumblr media
This just makes me feel some sorta waaay, what are we thinking @quinloki i, @💧anon? I am having the time of my life with this one 😂. So proud of that last part with Mihawk, really like how it turned out. Also ya’ll if that small statistic/economy talk din’t make any sense it’s because I have no idea what the hell im talking about 😂 I just used fancy words I heard my dad use, since he is a banker I figured they would fit the context.

Hello Alexa! Hope your doing well as always seems like your not lacking requests so put the other requests before my own ♡
An idea came to me last night when I failed a test for the third time- and need to redo it, when I'm sad or something bad happens I go hide in my closet with blankets and pillows, like a child- so how would the whitebeard pirates or mihawk react to child dokusha hiding when their sad? Like their because they got in trouble or isn't allowed to go with the crew on an island and instead has to stay on the ship?
As someone who had gone through a lot in their early childhood I find these stories so comforting and sweet. I often find myself only opening Tumblr to see if you've posted. Remember to take care of yourself, because someone really cares about you♡
Solace and Comfort (Whitebeard pirates, Mihawk x gn!child!reader)
A/N Hey hey Holo! I absolutely love when you request and as a a ghank you for being such a sweetheart I went ahead and did both :) I also do the same thing, when im upset I like to find a closed or cozy space and just huddle up and hug my plushies. Your words really mean a lot, I appreciate them and it makes me so giddy.

Thatch found himself in his kitchen, preparing the next meal for his Captain. He made sure to take into account his current condition and choose the right ingredients to alleviate it.
"Hm, should I use kale or broccoli for this one?" he inquired to Izou, who had joined him earlier to escape the rowdiness of the crew as he completed maintenance in his pistols.
"I'm hardly the person you should ask Thatch."
"Kale it is," he exclaimed, beginning to chop down said vegetable, the tapping of the knife hitting the cupboard echoing around the otherwise quiet room
"Regardless, it is about time we addressed it, isn't it?" Izou spoke, pushing the lock back in his flintlock, a snap resounding across the kitchen
The chef stops chopping the kale at the comment, glancing up at his brother and letting out a sigh, putting the knife down
“I suppose so.”
“How about it, Dokucha? Want to come out and talk about it?” The sniper called out, walking around the counter to stand next to Thatch
A few beats of silence filled the room after that statement until the sound of ruffling came from one of the cabinets in the kitchen as Dokucha slowly crawled out of it, a stuffed bird held tightly in their arms
“How did you know I was here?” They mumbled, drying their teary eyes
“You usually hide here when something happens,” Thatch answered, kneeling down
"You should consider branching out," added Izou with a smile
"Would you like a hug?" Thatch offered
They nod, running into his arms, cries escaping them as he crashes into him
Thatch hummed, wrapping his arms around them and picking them up, swinging them from side to side for a few minutes until their cries lessened
"What's going on?" Izou questioned, glancing at the child, who by this point had positioned their head on Thatch's shoulder and looking back at Izou
"I wanted to go with Ace," they sniffled
"I know you do, but he had a risky mission he had to go on," Izou replies gently
"Why?" they cried
“They had something of ours, so Ace had to get it back.”
“I wanted to go with Big Brother too!” They cried, beginning to struggle against Thatch’s embrace
“Let me go!” They scream, beginning to throw punches his way
“Hey, Hey, it’s okay,” the man reassured them, tightening their hold, ignoring the shrill screams that now escaped them
“Hey, Hey, Dokucha, he always comes back, just like he came back from his previous mission and the one before. Just like I come back, just like Izou, and everyone will come back. But we need to calm down so we can welcome them back.”
“We would love to take you with us, Dokucha, but we want to keep you safe even more; we couldn’t bear something happening to you,” Izou continues, rubbing the child’s head
They sniffle, relaxing in their hold
“Hey, how about we go see Pops?” Thatch suggests
“Papaw?”
“Yeah, I’m almost finished with his meal; how about you come with us to deliver it?”
“Okay”
Tumblr media
“Pops, food is ready; we had special help today.” thatch announced approaching the man
Whitebeard glances down at the two commanders, about to ask what they mean, until he spots the ‘special help’ running towards him
“Papaw!”
He grins, lifting the child up
“Gurararara, what brings you here, Dokucha?” he questions, glancing down at his sixteenth commander as he spoke
“We were having a hard time earlier wanted to go with Ace.”
“Gurarara, why would you be upset about such a thing brat?”
They shrug
“Has the boy ever broken his promise to come back?”
“No…”
“Has he ever lied to you?”
“No…”
“Then why were you throwing a fit?”
“I didn’t throw a fit!”
“Sounds like you did”
“You’re mean, Papaw!”
“It’s called tough love.”
“It’s being mean!”
“If that’s the case, are you not coming to the celebration when he does return?”
“I want to!”
“Are we done with the fits?”
“Yeah!”
“Did someone say celebration? I could use some grub,” a voice joins in
Dokucha beams, jumping off Whitebeard's hand and crashing into Ace
“Ace! You’re back!”
“Just like I promised.”
Tumblr media
“Where are they?”
The human drills look at each other nervously and turn back to the swordsman, letting out a string of hoots and sneers.
Mihawk narrows his eyes at this
“Is that the answer you wish to go with?” He said, pulling out Yoru from his back and pointing it against the apes
“I will allow you to try again; where are they? I am well aware this is where they run to when they grow upset.”
In response, the human drills sounds escalate as they pull out their own weapons, only to stop as a small voice joins in
“It’s okay, Ezra, Enrique.” A small child wrapped in a blanket spoke, patting the apes, effectively calming them Down as they slowly lowered their weapons
“Don’t hurt them, Papa,” they mumble, hugging their blanket closer to them
He sighs, sheathing Yoru once again and extending his hand toward the child
The child wobbles their way to their father, taking hold of their hand and looking back at the human drills, sending a wave their way
As they walked on, the only sound that could be heard was the sounds of the forest around them as insects and birds chirped together, the sound of the human drills still reaching their ears, and the sound of Dokucha’s blanket being dragged as they walked next to the warlord.
“Are you going to tell me why you ran off?” he spoke, breaking the silence between them
He sighs at the silence that followed, pausing to pick up the child and place them on his hip, in turn the child leans their head against his shoulder
“Is this about the sword practice you were doing before?” He inquired, letting out a hum as the child nodded their head against his shoulder
“Can you tell me about it?”
“I can’t do it,” he mumbles
“Do what?”
“I can’t make the sword cut like Papa’s.”
“Is that what this is about?”
“Yeah”
“That kind of precision takes practice, it takes time,” he explains
“But I want to be strong like you!” They cried, leaning back and glancing up at him
His eyes soften at this, halting his walking as he puts all his attention on the child
“I know you do,” he said, wiping the tears that began falling from their eyes
“But one cannot simply master the sword overnight.”
“Not even Papa?.”
“No, I am not an exception to the statement. I had to train for years to be able to reach my current state, and I don’t doubt you will one day surpass me; that day is just not today.”
They frown at that, lying their head on their shoulder again
“How about we begin with the move you were attempting before?”
“Papa will teach me?” They exclaimed, shooting up
He chuckles
“You should have asked; I am never below teaching you the way of the sword.”
They grin, hugging his neck tightly
“I love you, Papa.”
“I love you too, dearest.”

Here we go! Two for two!! These are really cozy ones, loved how the Mihawk one turned out

So if you are looking for more content, highly suggest this!
𝔚𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯𝔩𝔲𝔰𝔱
Tumblr media
Chapter 1
Tumblr media
The mountain bandit stared at the girl who was busy packing her bag, throwing in the few articles of clothing and books she had. “
Are you sure that you want to travel with that idiot of a brother?” She asked. Only getting a slight grin in return.
“ I can’t let him travel alone; this is a way we can share our dreams,” she explained honestly. The girl walked up to Dadan before wrapping her arms around the woman.
The action brought the older bandit a sudden realization of how much Aster had grown; it felt just like a few days ago, she was still just a little kid who ran around the house laughing. The girl definitely kept her spirits up, especially with how rowdy and loud her brothers were when they were growing up. 
“Thank you for taking me in! I promise not to get into trouble.” Dadan looked away from the girl, already tearing up. Aster couldn't help but giggle at the older woman, despite her tough exterior and harshness. Aster knew that Dadan cared for her and her brothers a whole lot; it showed how properly she raised them. 
“You two better look after each other.” 
“I promise we will!” Dadan nodded and left to join the rest of the mountain bandits, leaving Aster to finish her packing.
Aster looked around the small room for the last time. It wasn't much, but it was more than enough for her. She didn't need much with the bandits anyway, plus with three brothers, there wasn't much privacy.
 Luffy still sometimes snuck into her room to come hang out with her and talk about the adventures they would have together once they set sail. 
“ASTER!” 
“I'm coming!” 
She closed her door before passing the bandits, greeting them all one last time. Luffy peaked past the door as his sister reached him. 
“We're going now. Aren't you gonna see us off?” He said glancing at the mountain bandits
“Shut up; the mayor and Makino know us, but we'd scare the other villagers if we came down from the mountain.” 
“But..” 
“Come on, Luffy, Dadan is right. We don't want to cause trouble.” 
“..Okay, thank you for everything!”
The rest of the bandits seemed bashful as they said their goodbyes to the siblings, reminding Luffy to take care of his sister and not be reckless. Aster only smiled at the interaction, grinning proudly when Luffy reminded the bandits that he normally hated bandits, but he liked them. This again caused the older woman to pull out her handkerchief and cry. 
Aster smiled at the bartender, who was fretting as she fixed her clothing. She grabbed a hold of the older woman’s hands
“I’ll be okay, really; I’ll be with Luffy the whole time,” Makino sighed softly at the brunette girl
“Are you sure? What if you two wait a bit?” She suggested as she glanced towards the grinning boy, busy greeting the rest of the town, smiling happily at them all, and promising to become the pirate king. She smiled at this turning back to the woman, but before she had the chance to respond to the woman she squeaked as Luffy wrapped his rubber arms around her and suddenly pulled her toward him.
 Makino had a similar flashback of the two running around Foosha village; Luffy had always dragged his younger sister around; the two would always visit the bar and wait for a certain pirate to entertain them with stories of his travels. 
“LUFFY!” Aster lectured her older brother, but the boy just grinned at her.
“We have to go!” He rushed her, causing the younger girl to roll her eyes.
“Luffy, there’s plenty of time.” 
“ I can’t wait forever!” 
Aster smiled back at the villagers as Luffy dragged her towards the small boat. Aster stared at the ship nervously before glancing at her brother and his choice of boat. 
“Luffy, maybe we should take the old fishing boat…” 
“Nope, this is how we start!” 
Tumblr media
“I'm going to kill him.”
Aster sighed softly as she leaned against the railing; after getting separated from Luffy, for better or worse, she found her grandfather.
Once again, Garp had tried to recruit her into the Marines, but she had her heart set on sailing and traveling the world freely. It was just one of the many reasons she decided to travel with her brother. She told her grandfather as much but she was bound to get punished for this once again, and Garp had a unique way of punishment. 
This is how Aster ended up on a boat owned by the G-5 marine branch with Captain Smoker, the man who was hunting her brother at the moment. Last she heard, Luffy and his crew were on their way to Alabasta.
She was really proud of Luffy, who had managed to recruit a crew of his own, and she couldn't wait to meet up with all of them. Pushing herself off the railing, she shakes her head with a smile and stretches her arms out above her head. 
“I don't understand why you would follow your brother.” Smoker huffed out glancing at the girl
“You don't have siblings?” She asked the marine curiously, giving him a half smile when he shook his head a grumbled no escaping his lips
She couldn't imagine her life without her brothers. She wouldn't have come this far without them; she glanced at Smoker again. 
Smoker wasn't as terrible as other marines she had met when she was with Garp; most marines had let their title go to their head and lost their way. She was thankful for the few good marines out there who genuinely wanted to protect people. 
“I respect you as a Marine, Captain Smoker, and I know you don't understand why I would want to travel with a pirate. But my brother wouldn't just hurt someone unless they deserved it. Luffy is really perceptive when it comes to bad people.” Aster spoke honestly, being aware of how Luffy had never gone out of his way to try and harm people regardless of the situation. 
Smoker only stared at the younger girl in disbelief; she seemed to know the consequences and still followed through even though being a pirate, or in her case being associated with one, was a crime punishable by death.
This girl didn't seem to care that she could be punished if she traveled with her brother. Garp had told him that Aster always wanted to see the world and travel from island to island. That was her dream, to learn about the world and cultures of people since she was little. This teenager was willing to risk it all to make a dream a reality. 
He soghed shaking his head once again
“You're Grandfather trusted me to take care of you and keep you safe, “Smoker spoke, turning away from the girl, watching as the ship got closer to the coast of Alabasta. 
“You are you stay on this ship” he finished
Aster looked up in shock at the captains words, she was ready to argue with the man but Smoker called out to Tagishi to guide Aster to the room she'll be staying in for her stay. 
“You can't do that!” 
“I'm the captain of the ship, you follow my orders “ 
The woman smiled apologetically to the teenager as she guided her toward the room. Tashigi stopped in front of the door looking back at the pouting girl before she placed a hand on the teenager's shoulder and smiled
 “Captain Smoker means well. He just doesn't want to see people get hurt, you're still young” 
“I'm not stupid! I know how to fight and protect myself!”
Aster let out a frustrated groan before walking into the room, closing the door behind her. Her grandfather had truly chosen an awful punishment ,she was sailing with a man who was actively hunting her brother and trying to capture him when all she wanted to do was reunite with Luffy.
 She fell down on the bed staring up at the ceiling,  maybe she could come up with a plan to sneak off at Alabasta.
Tumblr media
Aster was shocked at the state of Alabasta with the Intel she had managed to get through eavesdropping.
 Luffy and his crew should be here, as well as a warlord. She had only heard rumors of Crocodile. He was a notorious warlord. So why was he here in this country? What was he scheming for?
 From what she heard about Luffy and how he had fought not only Buggy but Arlong, he was likely here to find out what Crocodile was up to. Now, all she had to do was look out for a commotion, and that was where she would probably find him. 
“Miss! Wouldn't you be interested in buying this fruit? I heard it should make you live for a thousand years!” 
Aster tilted her head as she listened to the older merchant try to sell her the golden apple; she smiled at the older man. 
“Then it must be really, really valuable. Why haven't you eaten it?” She asked innocently, causing the man to freeze up. She grinned at him as she held her hands behind her back.
“You should really work on a better sales pitch…” She spoke while looking around. 
“Have you tried selling it to a boy in a straw hat?” She asked, hoping that Luffy had run into the merchant, who shook his head in response. 
“Thank you anyway!” She bowed before walking further into the market. She rubbed the sweat off her forehead before fanning out her clothes, if she didn’t find shelter soon her brain would fry like an egg on the pavement from the blinding heat.
 Speaking of food, she wouldn't mind grabbing a bite after finding some clothes that could protect her from the raging sun. 
Aster stepped out of the building, already feeling much better after her wardrobe change; she preferred something that would move more freely. But at least this would protect her from the sun's rays and the heat. 
She glanced toward a group down the street crowded around a restaurant. She guessed right. Just look for trouble, and she might find Luffy. Before she could move past the crowd, a red flash ran out of the restaurant and back into the streets, with Smoker following close by. 
“Looks like Captain Smoker found him…” 
She sighed before running down the streets, following after her brother and keeping an eye on the roof. She ignored the marines running past her, following Smoker's orders to capture the rest of the straw-hat pirates.
 Aster moved past the crowded streets, pushing past patrons and merchants following behind the two in the chase. Within minutes, she collided with a body, and they both fell to the ground; when she looked up, she grinned
“Luffy!” 
Luffy gave her a grin back before jumping to his feet and grabbing her. 
“ We have to go! Smokey guy is after me!” Before she could comment, Luffy started running, carrying her over his shoulder. Aster glanced up, noticing Smoker's shocked look. She pulled her eye and poked out her tongue; the marine captain scowled, cursing under his breath before he ran after the two teenagers. 
Tumblr media
“HEY GUYS!”
“AT LEAST LEAD THEM AWAY FIRST!”
Luffy ran towards his crew with a smile, still carrying his sister over his shoulder. The crew didn't have time to ask him about the stranger on their captain's shoulder when Smoker and the Marines arrived to capture them and take them in. Smoker had sent smoke out of his body towards the pirate crew. 
The crew watched as the attack was halted by a wall of flames separating the pirates and marines. 
A familiar figure, wearing an orange hat, landed before the straw hat crew, grinning at the marine captain before looking back at the straw hat pirates as Luffy finally put his sister down and looked back at at the manshocked. 
“Is that you, Ace?” 
“You haven't changed a bit, have you, Luffy?” 
Ace had assured the group that he would handle the marines and catch up with them later, letting them run away from the conflict and back towards their ship. The crew started questioning their Captain about how he knew the girl and Ace, only receiving a boyish grin as a response, much to their frustration.
Smoker stared at Ace with his arms across his chest, the marines standing behind him. 
“I don't understand why are you helping the Strawhats?” He asked the whitebeard pirate. Only to receive a grin in return, 
“It's natural for an older brother to protect his younger siblings.”
