Usopp being the best wingman ever and being like "You know Luffy Sanji really isn't a big fan of bugs. We can TOTALLY use that to our advantage"
Ten minutes later Luffy's got Sanji in his arms clinging to him like a koala scared out of his MIND bc he saw a spider in the kitchen (conveniently placed there by Usopp) and Luffy looks over Sanji's shoulder to see Usopp hiding behind the mast giving him a thumbs up like this

Supernova trio reacting to you cupping their cheeks and kissing them before saying, "I'm proud of you"
Characters: Luffy, Law, and Kid
GN!Reader
A/N: It literally came to me just now, and I needed to write it before I lost the motivation.
Warnings: tooth-rotting fluff
~~~
Luffy:
It was just one of those days on the sunny, everyone was relaxing and enjoying not being shot at by marines or defending themselves by other pirates. Robin with her flowers, Nami sunbathing, Zoro napping in the warm sun while Brook played his music next to him. Sanji making drinks for everyone while Franky tinkered on the Mini Merry. Usopp working on new inventions while Chopper studied next to him.
The only one yet to be seen was your boyfriend, Luffy.
"Luffy! Hey, where are you?" You walked around the ship calling out for him, yet no response. He usually came to you after you even called his name. Was he below deck or up in the crow's nest?
"(Y/N)!" Just while you were thinking about where to look next, you hear the telltale sound of Luffy's sandals running at you at full speed. Turning around, you see your boyfriend lunging at you before wrapping his rubber body around you. Both of your fall to the ground on your butt.
"There you are! Where were you? I've been looking for you!"
"I was making something!"
"Oh?"
"Yeah! Here! It's for you!" Luffy untangled his arms from your torso before shoving a piece of paper to your chest. Grabbing it, you brought it to your face to look at it. You saw a drawn picture with you and him holding hands with the words "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" written on it.
"I made sure to give it my all!" You can feel your heart melting as you look at it.
Placing it down next to you, you move your hands to cup his warm cheeks. You rub your thumb along his cheekbone before leaning in to kiss him on the tip of his nose.
"I love it Luffy. It's perfect, I'm so proud of you." Luffy looked at his nose wide-eyed with a light red painting his cheeks before looking back up at you with a wide smile.
~~~
Law:
It wasn't uncommon for your boyfriend to be locked away in his office. Working and studying about anything and everything under the sun. He put his studies before his own health almost all the time.
It was hypocritical cause he'd chastise you if you did the same.
Despite that, you walked to his office with coffee and some onigiri just to keep him at least a bit healthy. A smile plastered on your face as you knocked on his door.
"Come in." Carefully opening the door to make sure you don't spill, you slip through without an incident.
"Hey, baby. I got you some coffee and snacks." You walk up to his desk and place the tray holding everything on the only unoccupied space left on his desk.
"Oh. Thank you (Y/N)-ya." You watch him grab an onigiri before taking a big bite, his eyes still focused on his paperwork. Walking up behind him, you place your hands on his shoulders and gently start to massage them. You feel him tense for a split second before letting out a sigh as he eased into your touch.
"What you working on?"
"I took a test and now I'mm correcting myself."
"And?" you see him place his pen down as he yawned.
"I got them all right." His long, drawn-out words had you giggling as you put your hands on his cheeks and moved his head so he had to look up at you. You gently took off his hat and placed it on some of the papers. He gave you a puzzled look at your actions.
"What are you-" Leaning down, you place a soft kiss on his forehead. You looked down at him and admired how the light framed his face from that angle.
"Well, I'm very proud of you for working so hard to get them all right." You can see the pink dusting his cheeks as he looks shocked to hear you say such things. He looks to the side to avoid eye contact as his cheeks felt like they were on fire.
"Thank you..."
~~~
Kid:
The feeling of your brutish boyfriend holding you close as the two of you lay under the covers has a permanent smile on your face. You loved being in his arms and enjoying his touch. The safety he promised always scared away the nightmares that threatened your sleep.
Looking up, you see Kid with his eyes closed and his hair messy, no longer held up by his goggles. He looked so peaceful and contempt while he slept that you couldn't help but admire him.
"Enjoying the view?" You see him open an eye while a smirk plays along his lips.
"Very. What? Can't I admire my perfect boyfriend?" Rolling his eyes, you see the red creeping up along his neck and face. He always got so embarrassed when you complimented him. It was truly your favorite pastime.
"I simply like admiring my strong, handsome, decently smart boyfriend." You see the small look of offense appearing on his face at your last words. The feeling of him pinching your thigh had you yelping yet giggling.
"I'm kidding! Only a smart guy would be able to create such beautiful metal artwork and machinery." Using your elbows, you push yourself up so that you're face to face with him. His amber eyes staring directly into yours as he waited to see your next move.
Moving your hands to cup his cheeks, you kiss his lips passionately. You can feel Kid smirk as he kisses you back with the same amount of energy. His arm pulls you even closer, and you feel him rub his hand along your back.
Pulling away from his lips, you move a stray hair behind his ear as he pouted. The freckles that covered his face calling you to kiss every inch of his face. Your heart felt like it was gonna burst out of your chest with how much love you felt for him in that moment.
"I'm so proud of you, baby. No doubt in my mind that you'll be the King of the Pirates." His eyes widen at your words before red covers his entire face. The face that once held a smirk now soft as he took in your words. He moved his head to your neck just so you couldn't see how much your words affected him any more than you already had.
"I love you, Kid." You run your fingers through his silky hair as you hold him close. You feel him kiss your neck before mumbling against your skin,
"I love you too."

Straw Hats x Fem Gardener S/O platonic fluff HCs! The main reason I request this? FLOWER CROWNS! But also, S/O is good at growing crops and flowers, so she must have a greenhouse on deck to grow fruits, tangerines, vegetables, any medicinal herbs, flowers, anything! So helpful and sweet! And also, FLOWER CROWNS!
Tumblr media
★ WITH A FEM GARDENER CREWMATE! headcanons ★
── featuring. the strawhats.
── cw. f!reader. no pronouns used. platonic. very brief mention of homesickness. not proofread.
── notepad. sigh i love you platonic and domestic hcs of the strawhats. you complete me <333
Tumblr media
never in all of your years did you think you would find yourself gardening on the sea with a group who had come like family to you, a group you couldn't see yourself living without
building your new greenhouse on the deck was a group effort because it was supposed to be a surprise for you
you loved being at sea with the strawhats, you wouldn't trade it for the world. but it didn't stop you from missing home
a spring island somewhere out there, where the love and life are just as plentiful as the beautiful green that covers it
to bring a piece of your home back to you, the strawhats all chip to help make you a greenhouse where you continue your gardening while on the sea. something you never thought you could do
you somehow didn't find out about what they were planning, despite a few of your crewmates being blabbermouths.
after a girl's day in the island port town, you landed on a few days ago with nami and robin, you finally see it.
"surprise!" your crewmates, your family, jumps out all covered in wood chips and paint of all colors. some were covered in more paint than others. you swore your captain was wearing a yellow shirt that day, but with the amount of blue on it, it may as well have been blue.
you love your greenhouse! well, it wasn't just your greenhouse anymore. it was another place for you and your crewmates to spend time together.
it's the perfect place to have early lunches on sunny days and a late dinner on calm and cool nights under warm string lights.
your extensive knowledge of plants and your natural green thumb make you a versatile member of the crew.
on one end of your greenhouse, you were growing medical herbs for chopper's research and medicines. on another side, you made a special place for nami's tangerine trees you helped her take great care of.
on another corner were many vegetables for sanji's amazing dishes. and close by were the sweetest fruits in all of the grand line that would sometimes go missing the next morning
which is why you have decided to start locking up the greenhouse at night.
but who can forget, the flower crowns !!
a small gesture that would have a lasting impact on each of them, all with their own flower that you believed best represented them based on the flowers' meanings and your crew's personalities.
luffy puts his crown around his hat. when the flowers start to die and lose their color, he will become sad and ask you to make another one for him to replace it.
zoro was confused as to what exactly you wanted him to do with it until you motioned for him to put it on his head. it's uhhh...definitely not for him. but you're like a sister to him so if you flash puppy eyes, he'll wear it
sanji finds the crown you made for him adorable. he finds you even more charming for going out of your way to make it for him. he doesn't deserve such gifts from you but he is happy to wear them to make you happy. he preserves them so he can hold onto them forever.
robin definitely helps you make the flower crowns with all those extra pairs of hands that she has. like sanji, robin preserves the flower crowns that you give her. she will take a piece of them and put them in resin to make homemade jewelry from.
jinbei is your favorite to make flower crowns for. with all of his long beautiful hair, you are constantly putting big, colorful flowers in his hair because he sits there and just lets you do it. sometimes he'll even put flowers in your hair. flower pals !!
brook, like jinbei, enjoys it when you put flower crowns and stick flowers in his hair over cups of tea.
usopp pretends that he doesn't want one, but he secretly does. so after he politely declines and you (pretend to) take his word for it and walk away, he's so sad. pls no, give it to him !!
chopper loves making flower crowns with you. he could make them all day. he loves wearing several of them on his antlers, so he can spin, turn, and dance and they flow in the wind.
nami loves extravagant flower crowns. the bigger and more colorful, the better. she will throw little hints that she really wants one made of sunflowers and roses, such as saying how much she really REALLY wants one, and will sigh out loud when she's in front of the flowers. so when you actually surprise her with one, she's so happy she could squeeze the life out of you. you're her favorite for a reason
franky is so gentle with his flower crown. he's terrified that he may accidentally break or bruise the flowers that you worked so hard to put together. he will pull out the tiny yellow hand to put it on or take it off. he is going to make this thing last !!

Usopp has never celebrated Valentine's Day. And it's not that he hasn't had the chance, because he has. In fact, Kaya was always the one saying they should be doing something together, even as friends. But... But Usopp has never liked it? He knows saying that out loud would cause a world war inside the crew because he's aware of how beloved the day is for some of them. But it's just... Isn't it dumb? He thinks it's basically just another way capitalism and big corporations have of taking people's money. If you truly love somebody, you show it every day, not just on a random day in February. Besides, his mom always seemed a bit sad and lonely this time of the year, and Usopp never liked thinking about his parents this way.
But Sanji? Sanji adores it. It's a day of joy and love and he has an excuse to give Nami and Robin flowers and chocolate without being seen as weird. It's still weird but, you know, less weird because now there's a reason behind his actions and they're always just a bit softer on this day. Sanji himself is way softer. He gives Luffy more meat and barely argues with mosshead, and if somebody asks? It's just a day for love. He cannot be bothered to be angry today. His mom loved February 14th. It was one of her favorite days because she kept saying she celebrated all kinds of love, not only the romantic ones. Sanji was always excited to see her at the hospital on those days.
So when they start dating and February comes... They have different reactions to it. It's- It's a bit hard to handle at first.
The sniper realizes it's Valentine's Day right when he wakes up, and he kind of sort of wants to die because he hasn't gotten anything for Sanji and he knows how much this day means to him. Usopp just never thinks about it or remembers until Sanji explicitly screams about it. He blames Nami for not reminding him either. Not that it's her responsibility, but the girl could've helped. Whatever- He's not panicking. He's not. It's a dumb, stupid holiday and there's no need to do anything. He doesn't owe Sanji a Valentine's Day because it's dumb.
Besides. They barely started dating. And Sanji only ever gets gifts to the girls. There's zero chance he's gonna prepare something for Usopp.
Or so he thinks. Because the second he wakes up, there's a box right next to his bunk bed and he knows he's fucked. He doesn't want to open it. He truly doesn't. But if course he does. It's a beret. One he fell in love with a long time ago. Back when they weren't even dating. Back when even the possibility of dating Sanji was just a faint dream. So he- He doesn't even want to ask how the hell Sanji got this or when, but there's so much guilt inside of him that Usopp doesn't want to get out of bed.
But he has to, doesn't he? So he does. And he hates himself a little too much during the whole day. Sanji kisses him oh so sweetly. The pet names are over the charts. The guy won't stop speaking in French, which he knows makes Usopp weak in the knees. He cooks his favorite meals, and aside from the beret, he gives him a bunch of flowers he says he has been growing himself in secret (oh lord, for a botanist that's peak romanticism). And Sanji hasn't even paid much attention to anybody else. Not even the girls. It's as if only Usopp existed. And the thing is-- Usopp is expecting Sanji to throw a tantrum or get angry or be mad about Usopp not doing anything for him.
Sanji doesn't expect anything in return, apparently, and he doesn't seem that bothered about it. That's what ends up fucking up Usopp the most, in the end. Because he knows why Sanji is like that. He knows why Sanji doesn't care about it. He hates it.
He tries to approach the topic subtly:
Usopp: I... Hey, Sanji? Sanji: Yes, mon trésor? Usopp: I'm sorry for not getting you anything for today. It's just- You know Valentine's Day is not my thing and I sort of forgot- Sanji: That's alright. Do you think I'd reduce our relationship to only today? Usopp: No, of coruse not. But, just saying, that if you want to be angry, I don't mind. You have the right to want these romantic things. Sanji: As long as you like what I have planned for you, that's all the gifts I need.
But it doesn't sit right with Usopp. The fact that Sanji never thinks about himself this way and yet keeps showering him with love and gifts instead. So he waits until nighttime because he knows it's Sanji's turn to watch the ship and he knows he'll probably be in the kitchen more often than not. It's not much, but he thinks about something he can do for Sanji.
Everybody is asleep when Sanji finds a letter, a notebook, and flowers on the dining table. While Usopp watches his whole reaction from the door, hoping not to get caught. It's a stupid, overly romantic letter that Usopp has written in no time because whenever he thinks about Sanji, the words just come out of him easily, like a story he never wants to stop telling. The notebook is basically just his sketchbook, and it isn't a gift because it wasn't planned to be one, but it is all the drawings he has made of Sanji over the time they've been together, and Usopp thinks that's way better than just any letter. Meanwhile, the flowers are just the most peaceful and beautiful ones of his garden. The ones he uses more for scents rather than explosives.
It's not the best gift he could've made. It really isn't. But he thinks it's enough to show Sanji that he deserves these things too. He doesn't want his boyfriend to spend any other Valentine's Day assuming he won't be getting any form of love from Usopp.
What the sniper isn't expecting is Sanji to start sobbing all of a sudden. That's when Usopp realizes he needs to step into the kitchen. He's panicking a little while Sanji cries, sitting right next to him and holding his wet cheeks in his hands to check if he's alright. Maybe he has truly fucked up with the gift? Maybe he didn't like it? Perhaps he shouldn't have gotten involved. Fuck. Fuck.
But... But Sanji starts laughing? For some reason? He laughs between tears and grabs Usopp's hands in his and kisses them, holding him close.
Sanji: I'm sorry. Shit. I hate it when I get like this. I'm sorry. I'll stop. Usopp: What? No- No, Sanji. What's wrong? Did you not like it- Sanji: Huh? How could I not like it, dumbass? I'm crying because it's the sweetest, sappiest most romantic thing somebody has made for me and it's from the love of my life. How could I not- Idiot. Shut up. Usopp: I'm... The love of your life? Sanji: Did I not make it clear today? Usopp: Then you... You like it? Sanji: Idiot. Yes. I do. Usopp: Well, then expect all of our Valentine's Days to be like this from now on and forever, because your fantastic boyfriend Usopp will be known as the king of Valentine- Sanji: Dear, I know you love doing that. And I adore it. But the king of Valentine's Day is me and I'm not letting you have the title. Usopp: But we're together. Then that means we're both kings. Sanji: We would if we were married. Usopp: Then... We should- Sanji: Stop right there. Usopp: Huh? Why can't you let me be romantic?! Sanji: ... If you say it I don't think I'll be able to handle it- Usopp: Oh, shit, you want to marry me for real? Sanji: Yes? No- Not yet. Someday. I- Please, don't make me cry again.
Usopp truly can't wait for the next Valentine's Day with him.

The ASL x Sanji au is amazing, so I feel the need to add hc:
• when Sanji starts to use suits his boyfriends absolutely get mesmerized bc "so pretty"
• Ace and Sabo are certainly more clingier than Luffy when it's comes to kisses and touches more intimites than huges when they're teenagers
• the asl jealous would be funny, bc i can perfectly see some boy in Grey Terminal giving flowers or something like that to Sanji in front of them
• Sanji probaly make drawing of types of fish, the sea, dishes and more things, just like he knows a lot of luballys and tales from North Blue, the ASL absolutely love to see him drawing or hear him sing
(And to add in the RLS + ASL x S thing, when Law sends a copy of all their old photos, Robin would probaly use's the fact they're Sanji's boyfriends to make them hear her talking about young Sanji – they love seeing the photos)
I'm so glad you like them and your headcanons are all correct!
ASL first time seeing Sanji in a suit they're blown away. They keep telling him pretty whenever he's wearing one and the Onigashima suit is forever implanted in their brains as adults as well.
Ace and Sabo are definitely more about sexual intimacy when they're teens. It's a whole problem. Zeff has threatened them multiple times so they will talk Sanji with them and Sanji has gotten so good at make up to hide the love bites.
Sanji will make them go on supply runs with him because there's three people to carry everything and that's nice. However Sanji is paid a lot of completion and flirtation he misses and then someone gives him flowers and calls him the most beautiful person in the world. Sanji is so red and suddenly three feral jungle people are chasing the poor sod.
Sanji can draw in HanHawk!Sanji with the reason that he needs to be able to draw all the new fish in the All Blue. He absolutely draws his boyfriends too. Sanji doesn't sing often but Luffy convinces him and Brook every once in a while. It's a treat.
The photos. Oh Lord the photos. They get the box and Ace and Luffy are basically vibrating until Sabo gets there and then he and Koala, Luffy, and Ace are all sat around like it's fucking story time to hear about the photos and see them. Sanji and Nami are apologizing to Koala as Robin starts showing the photos and the boys melt next to her. She makes a note to tell Dragon Sanji needs to be protected at all costs because otherwise the seas are fucked.

⋆ "is it edible?"

⋆ he will run towards usopp to show what you got for him, and chopper will think its the coolest stuff ever.
⋆ at the end of the day, you might find the flowers dried up in boy's room, just because luffy forgot about it the second he saw something more exciting.
Tumblr media
Zoro
Tumblr media
⋆ "flowers? what am i gonna use them for?"
⋆ this man definitely stands there confused when you bring him flowers. he thinks there's something more to it.
⋆ when you tell him it's just a little gift from you. he accepts them not thinking much of it.
⋆ sanji finds him walking around with your flowers. when zoro says it was from you, sanji's face loses all of its color.
⋆ that is when zoro starts bragging about the flowers and you in sanji's face with a proud smirk.
⋆ sanji tells him off saying he doesn't even understand the meaning of it (which he doesn't) but it gives him the idea to gift you something in return.

Tumblr media
Bonus
Trafalgar Law
Tumblr media
⋆ "you didn't have to ..."
⋆ he's stoic and non-reactive on the outside, but let me tell you, this guy is SO taken aback and appreciative of the flowers in his heart
⋆ while trying to hide what he's really feeling, he ended up acting a bit too strict and you legit thought he HATED the flowers you got him
⋆ he decides to decorate them inside of his office, so he can stare at it and remember you every time he's too stressed
⋆ he's wondering how you got to know his favorite flowers, will not ask you it though
⋆ next day, he brings you your favorite flowers, but after overthinking a bit too much, he just leaves it at your nightstand after you're fast asleep.

I could get a reaction from ace, luffy, sabo or they ask their s/o to hold their hats and the s/o doesn't move and holds the hat VERY carefully and when an outside person tells them they can leave it there the s/o responds aggressively and tells them that the hat will be dirty if she puts it down! and even if a person gets too close to her, she tells him to move away otherwise he will damage the hat! THAAAAANKS✌️❤️
( idk if the request is open! Sorry if don’t 💁‍♀️)
YES MY REQUESTS ARE ALWAYS OPEN!!! AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REQUESTING!!!!! i loved this one so much <3 I hope you like it too :)
Warning: nothing! #^^# WC: 450-500
Tumblr media
Monkey D. "Strawhat" Luffy
A hat- THE hat. The hat that Luffy can and will fight a bitch for if anything happened to it. 
Everyone knows just how important it is, and everyone who has been allowed to touch, fix, and wear it knows that if Luffy is letting you hold onto it means something happened or is happening. The trust Luffy has in you to care for his hat out of his vision is insane. 
Luffy might not ask if you could hold it for him or if you want to wear it, he’s more likely to drop it on your head and continue whatever he was doing. Nami will look at you with a look in her eyes and a nod, just go with it. If someone takes it off, it makes the Captain sad. No one likes a sad Luffy. 
Everyone on the ship, everyone in the alliance, even some other pirates, enemies, and marines knows to respect the strawhat or get your ass kicked. The only people who don’t know are civilians. There’s been the time or two where an outside someone has grabbed it if it fell, but it’s never been treated badly. 
When the Strawhat Pirates are due to take a little break from saving nations, they choose the waterpark/resort place the Captain demanded to go to. It’s the standard place; a little giftshop, some waterslides, a lazy river. It was far enough from the Marines that a pirate flag or two didn’t disturb the guest. 
Usopp chooses the sunniest area and sets an umbrella up before the boys run into the water. Before running up to the waterslide, Luffy gave you a sloppy kiss and left you his prized hat. 
You stood out against Nami and Robin, the two women wearing large, floppy sunhats. But you didn’t need full coverage from the sun, choosing to enjoy what your Captain and dearest left you. But shit happens when a drink Nami was singing about was crashed by a ball and split over you. 
You had to choose the next best thing to wear rather than a fruit drink and ended up in the resort gift shop. Inside, the young worker called out to you three, hoping to make a sale. Showing off printed shirts with the logo, mugs, keychains, sunscreen, and those ugly, off-beige, super small, flowered sunhats. 
The worker tries to sell you a shirt in every color, a handful of keychains, more inflatables than you need, and a sunhat despite you only asking for a shirt. You would have ignored the insisting and taken the shirt with no issue, but they insult the hat you love and cracked your knuckles. 
When the worker doesn’t take the second no for an answer, punch them and run. Some front teeth aren’t needed, and y’all are pirates. No one expected the good time to last a long time. Just warn the crew to ready the ship and get out of there! 
When Luffy takes his hat back, give him a lil kiss and thank him for keeping you safe from the sun. It’s the only sunhat you need. 
Portgas D. "Fire Fist" Ace
Ace’s hat choice is different. There is no canonical backstory for this hat, but lots of people like to think it was a gift from Luffy, Dadan, and/or Makino. Try to pry that headcanon from my cold, dead hands. 
When fighting Jinbe, the hat was resting on his back, but when fighting Whitebeard before officially joining, his hat was magically missing. Let’s say you ended up on the Moby Dick with him. 
During that time, he didn’t wear it. Choosing to keep it with you was safer than losing it in the waters, or getting smashed by Pops’s big hands. Actually, he gave it to you to wear after the first time it ripped, or the bead line broke. He stood over you like a child as you fixed it for him. 
Ace doesn’t mind if you playfully tack his hat and wear it. Rather he likes the look of something his on you, like a way to keep his siblings away from the fire of his heart. If it’s a hot enough day, he’ll just give you the hat to wear. 
Sometime after Ace finally joined the Whitebeard Pirates, the others took it along to initiate their newest crew. After ripping a few pant seams, playing connect the dots with freckles, and a couple bottles of baby powder, Ace looked like a different person. 
When Thatch decided the next thing to do was steal the rest of Ace’s pants and dress some of the crew up to look like him, you clutched the hat in your hands and told him if he came close to you to take the hat, you would dull all of his knives and wash the cast iron. 
Enough to keep one pirate away from you, it wasn’t enough to keep the rest. 
One by one, other Whitebeard pirates tried to take it from you or ask questions. Izou asked why it was orange, Oars attempted to pick it up with his nails and nearly took you with it, and Haruta tried to rush you but was caught by the Spade Pirates telling you to run. 
After escaping the crew, you hid on Whitebeard himself, the big man being enough to scare the others away. Happy enough to play the little game with his children, Oyaji asked why you wouldn’t let anyone else touch the hat. 
“Because my Captain asked me to keep it safe. And I’ll never let it get hurt for him.” 
At the end of the day, Ace would press a small kiss to your temple and thank you for keeping two parts of him safe. 
"Revolutionary Chief of Staff" Sabo
Like Ace, Sabo’s hat choice is different. But it’s different for a wildly different reason than the other two brothers. 
When Sabo wanted to set sail, he had everything that was his in the boat, but most of it was lost in the explosion. Very few things were salvaged, and even less had his name on them. Sabo could have ended up being ‘Bob’ if it wasn’t for an embroidered handkerchief. 
That being said, most of his muscle memories and manors were unconsciously remembered. He might not know why the top hat is his favorite, but it feels right. 
The first time he gives you his hat to hold, you really don’t know why. He asked nicely, so you can’t say ‘no’, but it felt weird holding his hat and waiting for him to come back. You just stood in the hallway with Koala and waited for him to return.
She grabs the hat from your hands, placing it on her head, and asked how she looked while striking a stupid pose. The hat itself was well taken care of, not too dirty but well loved. Even the odd goggles he keeps on them are clean, a smudge on the glass maybe, but that’s it. You pull it off of her with a smile and a shake of your head. 
Unfortunately, wherever Sabo had walked off to, he didn’t come back in time for you to get back to work, so you had to take the hat too. Just keep it on your lap or something, ignore the way other Revolutionary members look at you, and keep working on the paperwork. 
If anyone asks if you need somewhere to put it instead, biting them is acceptable. 
After Koala played with it, some other younger members wanted to play with it too. And while Sabe didn’t mind playing dress up with them, you weren’t sure if you could with his had and without his permission. 
After one kid steals the hat and another steals his goggles, you spend a good minute chasing them down. You wondered if that is what you signed up for when joining the Revolution. Putting the two back together you told off anyone who got within five feet of you, threatening to bite or worse if they even thought about touching Sabo’s hat. 
Wiping off the children's fingerprints on the soft material of the hat and the tiny smudges on the lenses, you hear the sound of paper rubbing against the material. Peaking inside the flat top, you see a picture stuck in a seam. It’s a candid of you spinning one of the young girls on the base and carrying a small boy on your back. Tuck it back in and pretend you don’t see it. 
When Sabo finally comes back from who knows where, plop the top hat on his head and remind him he needs to actually finish his paperwork and not sneak off to play with the kids again.

Can I request something with Chopper? Anything with Chopper being adorable, because he is baby and I love him 🥺🥰
Tumblr media
hello vespidphoenix! AHHH chopper is so cute i can't 🥹
forethoughts: this is just some adorable chopper headcanons. a lot of robin in this because mother is just trying to take care of her son 😌.
notes: you guys ever seen a close up of an ant? no? okay.
Tumblr media
Chopper loves exploring new places and exploring new islands the Sunny docks on. He always buddies with Robin to go with him for the buddy system, and Mommy Robin happily obliges. He goes into the forests in search of herbs to collect for his medicine collection, while being in awe of all the plants and flowers surrounding him, and gets sidetracked immediately.
“Robin look! It’s a fluffy flower!” Chopper points at a dandelion, plucking it out and showing it to Robin.
“That’s a dandelion, Chopper.”
“Woah! So cool!” Chopper holds the dandelion to his face. But the moment he inhales the dandelion just flies into his mouth as he chokes.
Poor Chopper had to be carried back to the ship by Robin in order to ‘rest and recover’, which made Chopper sad because he wanted to go out exploring.
Sometimes when he goes out he just picks up whatever he finds interesting and brings it back to the crew
Chopper just picking flowers for Robin and Nami because ‘they looked pretty 🥺’
At night time when Chopper’s about to go to sleep Robin reads a storybook (or one of her more complex books) for him. It usually takes him one chapter to fall asleep, sometimes half a chapter.
One time Chopper broke into the stash of cotton candy Robin keeps for him. The next day the straw hats found him lying down in the middle of the ship, body limp and smiling like a crazy person. That was the first and last time Chopper would ingest so much sugar at such a quick pace.
As an add on to that I strongly believe Robin has a cotton candy stash (or just the machine) in her room and gives it to Chopper every now and then. Chopper just believes Robin is magic and can generate cotton candy out of thin air, he has never seen the machine and never will.
Whenever he plays with Luffy and Usopp in a game of hide and seek, he always hides in Nami and Robin’s room, because he knows Luffy isn’t allowed inside. But his giggles and that causes Luffy to find him.  
Chopper always goes to Robin whenever he's sad or whenever Luffy's being mean to him, and mother comforts her son until he feels better.

Tea for Two
~4730 words. Roxas/Naminé and Sora/Kairi. Post-Canon. Roxas and Naminé POV. Romance, Humor, Fluff, Proposals, Jazz Music, Swing Dancing, and Wacky Hijinks Galore. For @scoobysnack1107 ❤️
Summary: Roxas has the perfect proposal in mind for Naminé—a jazz club, swing dancing, delicious drinks, live performances, and a cozy park with a gazebo and duck pond—but things don’t go quite as planned. Thankfully, Sora and Kairi are on the case to help get the evening back on track. 
Tumblr media
Roxas had fought monsters. He’d fought Heartless and Nobodies. He’d fought for the right to his own heart, his own existence. He’d done all that and come out on the other side relatively unscathed.
Then why was the prospect of asking Naminé to be his wife making him nervous? He knew she wanted this. They’d discussed marriage multiple times. But his navy blue dress shirt already had sweat stains, and his gray vest and blazer and slacks were uncomfortably warm. 
“Relax,” Sora said, placing his hands on Roxas’s shoulders. “Take a deep breath. Everything will be fine.”
“Easy for you to say,” Roxas muttered. “You’ve already gotten this over with.” The ring glinting on Sora’s left hand was proof enough of that.
“And that’s why I’m here for moral support tonight,” Sora said with a grin. “Me and Kairi both.” 
It had been Kairi’s idea to have this double date so the means of the proposal would come as a surprise. And so Sora was dressed up too, wearing a burgundy dress shirt with a black vest and slacks. Roxas envied how nonchalant he was about the whole thing as he put on his blazer and looked into the mirror. He’d somehow managed to partially smooth back his hair, something Roxas hadn’t even attempted.  
“You got the ring?” Sora asked as he strolled to the kitchen to get Kairi’s flowers.
Roxas followed after him and patted his pocket. “Yep.”
It was a small, delicate thing, custom-made by the Moogles. The blue sapphire was in the shape of a heart and mounted on a gold band. Surrounding it were tiny opals that changed color in the light. Just like Naminé’s blank sketchbooks that could be turned into anything with her skilled hands.
“Great, then let’s grab these flowers and get going,” Sora said, handing Roxas the ones meant for Naminé. A bouquet of forget-me-nots to tell her she was truly unforgettable and that he would always love her. 
Sora, romantic that he was, had helped Roxas pick them out. And naturally, he’d chosen red roses for Kairi, which he held now as they walked to his car. Getting the flowers into the car was an adventure in and of itself, but at last they were on the road and driving to Naminé’s place. 
Twilight Town had changed a lot since travel had opened up between the worlds. There were way more people now, for one, and new houses and apartment complexes and hotels and resorts had sprung up practically overnight. While Sora and Kairi’s families still lived on Destiny Islands, Sora and Kairi moved here when Kairi decided she wanted to study at the newly-formed Twilight Town University and Sora followed suit. Naminé joined the fledgling art department, and Roxas was studying engineering. 
As Sora said, fighting monsters didn’t always pay the bills. He and Kairi had graduated in December so they could be done in time for their wedding, and now they were finally back from their honeymoon to put Roxas’s plan into motion.
Roxas rolled the window down and let the April breeze ruffle through his hair. He and Naminé would be graduating soon, and now seemed like the perfect time to propose. Everything was coming together, and a spring wedding next year would be perfect. 
Naminé was renting a cute little cottage near the sea, the summer home of an elderly couple who was happy to lend it to a college student during the school year for extra munny. Kairi had lived here with her before she and Sora had gotten married in February, and it felt like a second home to Sora and Roxas both. 
As they pulled up to the cottage, Roxas sighed. He hoped that someday he could give Naminé a nice home like this. A place on the beach where she’d have lots of nice views to draw as he played the guitar. He’d picked up guitar playing and singing as a hobby, and she loved it when he serenaded her. 
Once he and Sora were at the front door, flowers in hand, his heart thudded loudly in his chest, and his palms were sweaty again. He wanted everything to be perfect for the proposal, for Naminé. What if something went wrong? What if he lost the ring? What if she said no—
The door opened, and Kairi’s cheery smile greeted them. Sora gawked at her, and Roxas smirked. His friend was clearly enjoying her wine-colored, fringed dress that fell to her knees, the stiletto heels and black wrap that emphasized her toned arms and legs, the ruby earrings and matching necklace on a gold chain, and the chic hat with a feather perched on her bobbed hair. Her deep red lipstick was gonna end up aaall over Sora’s face and neck by the end of the evening if Roxas knew his friends. And while Kairi looked good, who he really wanted to see was—
“Naminé,” he murmured, his eyes going wide. Her golden hair was swept up into a simple French twist with two strands of hair perfectly framing her gentle face in soft curls. The scent of hairspray and light perfume hit his nose, and he gulped as she smiled and greeted him sweetly. She was wearing a dark blue dress with spaghetti straps that came down to her knees, and her makeup was heavier than usual, but not so much as to overpower her features. Her teardrop earrings set with sapphires matched her necklace, which was on a simple silver chain. The barrette Kairi had used to hold her hair in place was a birthday gift from him and matched her jewelry nicely. On her feet were a pair of cute navy blue Mary Jane shoes with satin bows that perfectly matched her dress. 
“You look beautiful,” he said and was rewarded with her lovely smile. “Um, these are for you,” he added, handing her the bouquet of forget-me-nots. She took them from him and thanked him, and he smiled and rubbed the back of his neck. She and Kairi ducked into the kitchen to find vases for their flowers while he and Sora hung out in the hall.
“Man, Kairi really went all out,” Sora said, a pleased blush tinting his cheeks. “She looks amazing, that dress looks fantastic on her, and I—” He took one look at Roxas’s raised eyebrow. “Naminé looks great too of course! That's what tonight is all about. You and Naminé.”
“Uh-huh.”
Sora rubbed the back of his neck. “What I meant earlier was, Kairi went all out in helping them both get ready.” 
“You’re a bad liar,” Roxas said, grinning as he clamped a hand on Sora’s shoulder. “It’s okay, it’s kinda cute how whipped you are.” 
Sora pouted and shrugged Roxas’s hand away. “Hey, I object to being called ‘cute.’ Kairi has informed me I’m ‘striking’ and ‘handsome.’”
“And whipped.” 
Sora shrugged. “I won’t object to that. Being married is awesome, and my wife is amazing.”
Roxas had to smile. Hearing Sora talk about Kairi always reminded him that there were good things in life, that sometimes, the right people did get happily ever afters. He wanted the same for him and Naminé. He teased Sora about being whipped when it came to Kairi, but he had it just as bad for Naminé. 
“And just you wait,” Sora said. “In a year, you’ll be saying the same thing about Nami—”
“What will Roxas be saying about me?” Naminé asked, a curious look in her beautiful eyes. Some days they looked more violet, but today they leaned towards blue thanks to her dress. 
“You’ll see,” Roxas said, offering his arm. “Shall we?” 
She nodded and smiled, a playful glint in her eyes. “We shall.”
Naminé took his arm, and it was time to board the Gummi Ship to their destination. He wondered if she had any inkling of where they were going or if she would be completely surprised. Well, time to find out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naminé always enjoyed going on double dates, and tonight was already shaping up to be fun. The four of them were dolled up and walking through the night streets of a world she hadn’t been to before. Up ahead was a tall dark building with neon lights that promised to be some sort of jazz club. 
“Are we going dancing?” she asked, her eyes lighting up. Live music plus dancing with Roxas was always fun. 
“That and more,” Roxas cryptically replied, a twinkle in his eye. 
“The outfits make a lot more sense now,” she said as she rested her head on his shoulder. 
As they drew closer and closer to the club, music from the live performers reached their ears—trumpets, saxophones, drums, and more, paired with soaring vocals and flurried piano playing. Naminé would never tire of jazz music, and she remembered the day Sora and Roxas introduced her to it. After they’d been to New Orleans and had met Tiana, Naveen, and Louis, they couldn’t get enough of it, and neither could the girls.
As they entered the club, the energetic music and bustling crowds greeted them, and Roxas was quick to ask her to dance. Naminé smiled and agreed, and soon she and Roxas were moving through the steps of a lively swing dance. Triple step, triple step, rock step, triple step, triple step, rock step, she silently instructed herself, wanting to make sure she didn’t step on Roxas’s feet or bump into Sora and Kairi. 
Roxas met her gaze and smiled. “Having fun?” he called loudly, trying to make himself heard over all the different noises cascading around them.
“Yes!” 
They kept on dancing, and Naminé smiled to herself as she remembered their first time dancing together. Sora and Kairi had taught them what to do in preparation, and that first dance together felt like magic. No wonder dancing was a way to meet romantic partners on so many different worlds. Moving in rhythm with Roxas, meeting his gaze, feeling his gentle touch…all of it was wonderful. 
They danced together for several more dances until they were both panting, sweaty, and thirsty. Roxas had his sleeves rolled up, and she was grateful her dress was so lightweight and breezy. They found a table near the dance floor, and she gratefully sat down.
He leaned in close to ask, “Want a drink?” 
“Just water for now, please,” she replied. He nodded and made his way towards the bar. Naminé took in her surroundings, noting the happy couples and friend groups spending an entertaining evening at the club. If she had her sketchpad with her, she’d be sketching the lively scene around her. 
A few minutes passed like this, and Kairi was the one who returned with her water. “Roxas asked me to give this to you,” she said, then took a seat at the table.
“Thank you.” Naminé gratefully took the cool liquid from her friend but had to ask, “Where is he?”
A mischievous spark lit in Kairi’s eyes. “You’ll see.” She nodded in the direction of the stage, and Naminé gasped. Roxas was on stage now, and Sora was with him. While Sora was taking his seat at the piano, Roxas was strolling towards the microphone, a big grin on his face. Once he reached it, he looked right at Naminé.
“Good evening, everyone,” he said. “Thanks for having me. I’d like to dedicate this song to my amazing girlfriend, Naminé.” 
Naminé felt her face flushing pink as she ducked her head and smiled. Roxas always did the nicest things for her, and now he was going to sing for her?
“She’s the reason I’m here today, and I couldn’t be more grateful she’s a part of my life.” He indicated Sora at the piano. “And this is my friend Sora. He’ll be accompanying me in honor of his wife, Kairi.” 
Sora grinned and waved at the audience, but really he was looking at Kairi. She smiled and rested her head in her hand and sighed happily, her engagement ring and wedding band glinting in the dim light. Naminé wondered what married life was like, wondered if Roxas would pop the question soon. They’d been together for so long that she couldn’t imagine her life without him, and she knew he felt the same way about her. 
 Sora began to play the piano, and the tune sounded vaguely familiar to Naminé. Where had she heard it before? The other musicians seemed to recognize it too because they soon joined Sora, weaving their instruments in like it took no effort at all when really, Naminé knew jazz improvisation required a high level of skill even with a familiar tune. 
At last it was time for Roxas to join. He cleared his throat and began to sing. 
“Picture you upon my knee / Tea for two, and two for tea / Just me for you and you for me alone,” he sang, and Naminé knew why she recognized the song. He’d been humming it a lot lately. She watched and listened, entranced, as he continued to sing. It sounded like an old song, given the mentions of trying to keep the existence of a telephone hidden from the neighbors and baking sugar cakes. Naminé wondered where the song was from—the melody and words were simple but pleasing, and she found the song compelling. 
As the song wound down, Roxas sang, “We will raise a family / A boy for you / A girl for me / Can’t you see how happy we would be.”
He looked at her and smiled, and her face turned bright red and her heart pounded. This song was about marriage, wasn’t it? Was Roxas…was he going to—
The audience burst into thunderous applause, and Naminé clapped along with them. Roxas bowed and thanked everyone, then indicated Sora and the other musicians so they would get their rightful acclaim.
As he and Sora left the stage, Naminé’s heart sank a little. She was almost sure he was going to propose. Was she just imagining things, or—
Well, the night was still young. Maybe he had something else in mind. She smiled as he joined her at the table and complimented his performance. He returned the smile and thanked her, and out of the corner of her eye she noticed Sora and Kairi slinking off and tried not to giggle. That newlywed fever must be something else. 
“May I have this dance?” she asked Roxas, well-rested and ready to return to the dance floor with him. 
“Absolutely,” was his response, and with that, they went back to dancing. And as they twirled along the dance floor, she was grateful he hadn’t proposed just yet. A big flashy proposal in front of everyone would’ve been nice, but it wasn’t quite them. 
She hoped he had something else in store and looked forward to whatever it might be.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With Naminé safely parked at their little table once more, Roxas searched frantically for Sora and Kairi. It was kinda hard to see in the dim light, and his panic grew the longer it took to find them. 
At last he spotted them in a dark corner. Kairi had one hand in Sora’s hair, and the other was playing with his tie. His hands were wrapped around her, and Roxas was glad he couldn’t see where they were touching. Great. His two partners in crime for tonight’s scheme, and they were both completely distracted. By each other. Ugh, he should’ve seen this coming. He wanted to groan out loud, but he doubted they would hear him. So he tapped Sora on the shoulder, and Sora just made an irritated noise. 
“Sora!” Roxas hissed. 
Sora ignored him and kept making out with Kairi. Sheesh, they really oughta get a room. Wait, what was Roxas thinking, they had a whole house—
“I’m having an emergency here!” he said, louder this time. 
Kairi was the one who heeded Roxas’s plea. She pulled away from Sora, who whined loudly, and she acquiesced and gave him one last passionate, sloppy kiss that made Roxas regret asking for their help. He would’ve been better off asking the jazz musicians. When Sora and Kairi had finally untangled themselves from each other, Sora shot Roxas a very disgruntled look. 
“What is it? I thought you wanted to be left alone with Naminé, and I figured you’d extend the same courtesy to us.”
The effect of Sora’s irritation was negated by the number of lipstick marks covering his face and neck, and Roxas felt some of his annoyance melt away and turn into amusement. “Dude, you have got to see your face right now. Lipstick everywhere.”
Kairi giggled and fished her hankie out of her purse, then got to work cleaning up the lipstick marks. 
Sora pouted at her, his eyes in full lovesick puppy mode. “He interrupted us.” He was speaking in that whiny voice she somehow found charming, and Roxas rolled his eyes. 
“I know,” Kairi said as she worked on a particularly stubborn mark on his chin. “I’m sure it was for a good reason though. And I’ll make it up to you later, I promise.”
He brightened considerably, and she bopped his nose. “And by later, I mean when we’re home,” she said.
He pouted again, his head drooping. 
“I promise it’s worth the interruption,” Roxas muttered. “Trust me, I wouldn’t interrupt you guys normally. It’s just…I can’t find the ring.”
Kairi’s eyes went wide, and Sora finally sobered up. “Uh-oh,” he said. “Time to search for it?” 
Within seconds, they had a game plan. Roxas would continue as normal with Naminé so she wouldn’t suspect anything, and Sora and Kairi would search the club from head to toe for the ring. He breathed a sigh of relief as he went to get a drink for Naminé as she’d originally requested. Would it be too obvious if his friends used Magnet or something to pull the ring in? Wait, would that even work on the materials the ring was made out of? And would it yank every woman’s jewelry in the joint towards them? Ah, nevermind. Searching the old-fashioned way seemed safer. 
At last he returned to his girlfriend with her drink. “Thank you,” she said sweetly, then sipped its contents, a White Lady made of gin, cointreau, and lemon juice with an egg white. 
“Sorry it took so long, I ran into some…complications.”
She tilted her head. “Complications?”
“You wouldn’t believe how many people were lined up at the bar,” he said, which was true enough.
“It does seem very busy tonight,” Naminé agreed. 
Roxas looked all around them, trying to spot Sora and Kairi in the crowd. He bit back a groan when he did. Were they making out in the corner again? He really was tempted to recruit the help of the jazz musicians. But then he realized Naminé was looking in their direction too and realized they were trying to seem unsuspicious. He had to laugh that their minds had jumped to kissing as a way to deflect suspicion.
As Naminé nursed her drink, he tried to make light small talk with her, but the club was so loud it was kinda difficult. He desperately wanted to step out of the hot, stuffy club and take her to the little park nearby where he planned to propose, but he couldn’t do that till Sora and Kairi found the ring. They were on the dance floor now, and Sora kept dipping and twirling Kairi low to the ground so she could search for the ring on the floor while arousing minimal suspicion. The effect was pretty funny though because even for the Lindy Hop their current moves were very…energetic. Roxas couldn’t help but snicker.
“What is it?” Naminé asked.
“Those two,” Roxas said, nodding towards Sora and Kairi. “I don’t know how they have the energy.” 
She giggled as she watched Sora twirl Kairi over his back. “Me either.” She watched them for a few more moments, then asked, “Um, do you want to step outside for a minute? Get some fresh air?”
“I’d love to,” Roxas replied. Yeah, he still didn’t have the ring, but maybe this way Sora and Kairi could search the club more easily without arousing suspicion. And he had to get out of this stuffy club before he passed out from the heat.
The cool air was a huge relief, and Naminé sighed. “Finally, some peace and quiet,” she murmured. “The club’s been fun but you know how I am. I get peopled-out so quickly.” 
“Nothing wrong with that,” he replied. He was slightly more extroverted than her but still nowhere near as extroverted as Sora. 
She reached for his hand. “That park over there looks really nice. Want to take a walk?”
“Sure,” he replied. Figured she would like the park. Curses that he didn’t have the ring with him though. 
They took in the brightly-lit city streets as they strolled to the park. It was a small, quiet little place with rolling green grass and a duck pond next to a white gazebo with a swing. They bought food for the ducks and fed them together, then sat on the swing and rocked back and forth. Naminé rested her head on his shoulder and sighed. 
“What a wonderful evening,” she murmured. “Thank you for bringing me here, Roxas. I can’t think of a better way to spend tonight than with you.” 
Curses, this would be the perfect moment to propose. Why did he always have the worst luck?
Hold on, who said he had to have the ring? The ring was just a symbol of the reality behind it. Why waste such a perfect moment just because not quite everything had lined up? Naminé would understand. Everything about their relationship had been unorthodox. Was it really so shocking the proposal might be too?
He took a deep breath to calm his jittery nerves, his racing heart, his spinning stomach. “Naminé?” he eked out.
“Yes?”
This was it. He was gonna do it, he was gonna ask her to marry him. “I…Will you…”
“ROXAS!” Sora yelled, barrelling towards the gazebo like he had a horde of Heartless behind him. Roxas groaned because man, he couldn’t even have this. Couldn’t even propose to Naminé without an interruption.
“What is it now?” he grumbled. Sora skittered to a halt and rested his hands on his knees, panting for breath, his face and neck bearing various lipstick marks once more. 
“Mission…was…successful,” he got out between pants. Roxas felt the tension leave his body, unsure if he was relieved or just done with tonight’s mishaps. 
Naminé tilted her head. “Mission?” 
Kairi finally caught up to Sora. Her cloche hat and black wrap were nowhere to be seen, and her lipstick was smudged, but she had a triumphant look on her face. “You left it in the Gummi Ship,” she said, a twinkle in her eye. 
Roxas put his hand on his face and groaned. “Of course I did. I’m such an idiot.” 
“What is it?” Naminé asked. “What did you leave in the Gummi Ship?”
Kairi smiled and tossed him the little black box. 
“Roxas?” Naminé asked shakily, and he smiled and got down on one knee. She was so beautiful, sitting on the swing with her blue eyes wide and the two golden curls framing her lovely face. 
“Naminé, ever since the day I first met you, you’ve been there for me. You’ve been honest with me and have always had my back, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. I see myself the way you remember me, and you see yourself the way I remember you. Even when we didn’t have our own lives, our own existences, you saw me and knew me. And as the years have passed and we’ve built our own lives, our own identities, you’ve been there with me every step of the way. I don’t just want to spend this evening with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” He took a deep breath and opened the little black box. “Will you marry me?”
She burst into tears. “Yes! Yes, of course yes, always yes!” He smiled and slid the ring on her finger, getting a little choked up himself. She pulled him into a hug and clung to him, crying as she told him she loved him and he told her he loved her too. Their tears were happy ones, and he wasn’t ashamed or embarrassed at all about crying, just full of love for her that couldn’t be contained.
“Thank you, Naminé,” he said softly, and she held him tightly. He was vaguely aware of Sora crying in the background, and he just had to shake his head and grin. What a sap. Of course, he was a big sap too right now. He couldn’t help it though, this was the happiest moment of his life. 
When at last they broke apart, Naminé wiped her eyes and took a closer look at the ring with its blue, heart-shaped sapphire mounted on the gold band and surrounded by tiny opals. “It’s so beautiful, Roxas, thank you.”
“Kairi definitely helped,” Roxas said, rubbing the back of his neck. “So I can’t take full credit.” 
“Thank you, Kairi,” Naminé said.
Kairi smiled and replied, “You’re welcome, but Roxas really did most of the heavy lifting.” She’d been dutifully taking pictures and videos of the proposal for Roxas and Naminé to watch later on. Sora was still sniffling, and she rubbed his back and murmured soothing things to him.
“I’m just so happy for them,” he choked out. “After everything they’ve been through, they’re finally getting married.”
“Yeah,” Kairi said, a few tears of her own shining in her eyes. “I’m happy too.”
“They’re happy, we’re happy,” Sora replied, then hugged Kairi tightly. “I love you so much, Kairi, I just love you so, so much,” he told her, and even Roxas had to admit that he was moved. Their friends had been separated so many times that it was a relief that they had their happily ever after, too.
“I love you too,” she said softly, gently running a hand through his hair. She kissed him tenderly, then reached for his hand. “C’mon, let’s give Roxas and Naminé some time to themselves,” she murmured, and with that she and Sora headed back to the Gummi Ship, hand-in-hand. 
Roxas sighed happily, then turned to his fiancée. Naminé couldn’t stop smiling at him, and his heart felt so full he could hardly bear it. They were finally engaged. They were gonna get married. At some point twinkling white had lights turned on, lighting up the gazebo and the railing around the duck pond and making the little park look like a place out of a fairy tale.
“I assume there’s a really good story behind tonight’s antics,” Naminé said, her lips twitching as she watched Sora and Kairi depart.  
“I thought I’d lost the ring,” he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. 
She laughed lightly. “Is that why Sora and Kairi were acting so wild? They were looking for the ring?” 
“Mhmmmmm.” He rubbed the back of his neck. “Don’t know what I would’ve done without them.”
“Yeah, me either,” Naminé said softly. “They’re the best friends we could ask for. Without them we wouldn’t even exist.” She looked at Roxas like he was the only person in the worlds, and his heart beat a steady thrum in his chest as he lost himself in her gaze. She reached up and tenderly cupped his cheek. “Thank you Roxas, for seeing me. For comforting a lonely girl and teaching her what love means. For staying by her side and growing up with her, for helping her find her way. And thank you for making tonight so special, for giving me the best marriage proposal I could’ve asked for.” She smiled serenely. “I suspected you might ask, but everything happened so perfectly. Antics and all.” 
“Yeah,” Roxas agreed. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.” 
They looked at each other, the soft light from the gazebo reflecting on their faces, and Roxas brought Naminé into his arms and kissed her deeply. They were gonna be married someday soon, and he couldn’t wait to share their first kiss as husband and wife.

A/N: Happy, happy birthday to my dear friend Liv! Thank you for being such a wonderful and supportive friend over the years ❤️ You are such a kind and caring person and have taught me so much. I’m so glad we met and bonded over RokuNami and SoKai ❤️ I hope you have a wonderful day and a lovely year!
Also, thank you to @rapis-razuri​ and @angel-with-a-pipette for brainstorming the story with me and reading over it ❤️ 
And thank you everyone for reading! This story is basically just a long love letter to jazz music and swing dancing ;alksdfj so I wanted to include a few notes about the inspiration behind various elements of the story: 
“Tea for Two” is a real jazz standard originating from the musical No No, Nanette which opened on Broadway in 1925. There are a million good recordings of it, you honestly can’t go wrong, but I love the Ella Fitzgerald + Count Basie version, any of the Doris Day versions, Art Tatum’s piano version, and then the 1971 Broadway Cast version if you’re wanting to give it a listen. 
I also included a reference to the jazz standard “Satin Doll” by Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Johnny Mercer. I love any of Duke Ellington’s versions, Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie’s version, and the instrumental version by John Williams and the Boston Pops. 
The dance Roxas and Naminé do near the beginning of the story is East Coast Swing, and then of course Sora and Kairi later do the Lindy Hop very energetically ;alksdfj. Thought about getting some West Coast Swing in there too somewhere but couldn’t quite work it in directly, just imagine the couples did it at some point hehe. 
The drink Naminé drinks, a White Lady, dates from 1919, though the version most common today was invented in 1929. Also, Sora, Kairi, Roxas, and Naminé’s clothes were inspired by fashion trends from the 1920s. And then of course Roxas's singing abilities and Sora's piano playing abilities are based on their English VAs actual musical abilities so it was fun to sneak that in there.
Hope you all enjoyed the story!

Hiiiiiii, it's me, Gouda 🧀 anon, but I am not on anon! lol I sorted out my Trumblr from all the cringy shit from years ago finally so I don't have to be embarrassed what I have on here haha (I saw you said you've been on Tumblr since 2015, well I've been on here since probably 2009 and yeah... Had to go down the memory lane and it was a bit cringe 😂)
I saw your message that Chapter 4 will be posted tonight and the giddy feelings that I felt, boy oh boy... Could barely contain myself in my chair!
This has been such a lovely update! It was amazing to see more interactions between Doc and Zoro. And his POV is just *chef's kiss*. It really helps to see that there's more to each of them than the other sees. And honestly, Zoro is being stupid because he can fulfil his promise and still get Doc so... *side eye* lol
I am honestly so curious to see what you have planned going forward: with Doc and Straw Hats AND Doc and Zoro. And if you grace us with even more Zoro POV to see his inner battle - I will devour it 😂
Also, I have to say - him bringing the beer and him bringing back the flower as an apology were one of my favourite parts in this chapter. Especially this one:
What he wouldn’t tell you, is because they only grew at certain times and usually in the snow, it made them one of the most resilient flowers because they could grow under any conditions. 
ALSO, oh my God, this interaction in particular too:
“What do I gotta do to hear one of these world-famous Doc jokes?” He waited until his face was neutral to look back at you. Both hands rested on his swords as he watched you fill the bottle to the brim and place it securely inside your satchel.  “For that kind of service? You have to be dying.”
We know what happens later and now I will wait with baited breath for doesn't matter how many chapters to see whether Doc actually says that joke 😂
I also love the ending, the fact that Nami is considerate enough to offer for Doc something to wear. It's a small interaction though I would think that it gives them a small part to bond to some extent ❤
As always, an amazing update and I am so happy to see these two continue to bond, even if they are both acting silly now. Really curious and excited for the next part to see how Doc reacts to Sanji and maybe even how Zoro reacts if Sanji flirts with Doc?! 😂
I have so many feelings to this story, I have to admit, I read Chapter 3 five times. Then I went to read Chapter 2. And then I read all chapters from the first one before this update because I have an insane amount of brain rot for OPLA Zoro and it's been consuming me this week 😂🙃 Also, because it's been bringing me joy and making me smile at a time in my life where I'm feeling a bit lost.
Sending you so much love and thank you for the update. I had a shit week so this has been such a mood booster that it is hard to put it into words how much I appreciate you and how happy I am that I discovered you and Chaos in Their Bones.
Hope you're having a lovely weekend, Jenn ❤
Osiyo my Gouda 🧀 Nonnie turned to my cheesy!! I am so happy to hear from you! The fact you did an intense cleansing of your tumblr makes me feel like I should probably do the same BUT 2009, you say?!? My bestie started a tumblr around that time too, I believe. What was it like? Was it wild? Lol
It makes me so happy to know you enjoyed the updated chapter! I was honestly very nervous about it cause I wrote it starting yesterday around 5 pm and finished by roughly 9:30 am. I just knew that once Sanji was introduced the story was going to be a bit more hefty, per say. There is the drinking scene, and I wanted Doc and Nami to have some time together, because she deserves a good wholesome friendship, okay?!
I’m so glad you love Zoro’s POV! It always makes me nervous because he is such a moody baby, but also extremely devoted to keeping his word/promises. I thought it was important to show his side and struggle, because he is so devoted to fulfilling his promise that I can envision him being completely blinded by that determination. I mean, look how he responds to poor Nami 😩😩
Oh man, we know Sanji flirts with EVERY woman lol so flirting is definitely implied and I may or may not have already pre-written the dialogue for most of that scene 🤣
I cannot believe you’ve reread Chaos in Their Bones so many times! But also, I completely understand why you would after reading the rest of your message. It is an absolute honor and a privilege to be a part of something that is bringing you joy in a time when you feel like it is most needed. I always look forward to your reviews and to see how you liked chapters. It means a lot to me to see your 🧀 in my ask box. I am incredibly sorry this week wasn’t any good, but just know I am sending you lots of love and good vibes that hopefully next week is better than this one. Sending you virtual hugs and Much Love 🖤

The next morning at the office, Robin, Nami and Vivi were huddled around your desk as you described what happened after you went home.
“You are terrible.” Nami cackled as she hit your shoulder gently.
“This is a first, you feel bad for a guy?” You quipped as you raised a brow.
“I’d feel bad for anybody who is the lab rat for this experiment of yours.” She scoffed, as she rested her arms on the walls of your cubicle.
“It’s just a little fun. Anyways, Ace seems like the type of guy with a whole lobby of women waiting for him once this is over. He’ll be fine.” You stated as you turned back to your computer to continue the draft of the article.
“I don’t feel bad. He looks like trouble anyways.” Vivi said.
“I thought you found him cute!” You said, a little alarmed at her sudden change.
“I can find him cute and still tell he’s a menace. That smile of his, I know there have been women worse off than me than that night.” She shuddered as she clasped onto her own coffee mug.
You twisted your lips to the side.
“Ace doesn’t seem like the type of guy to maliciously hurt a person.” You contested.
“Look at you defending him off the bat! I thought he was merely a lab rat?” Robin snickered.
Your eyes widened when the realisation of what Robin said sunk in.
“Uh, no! I’m just saying!” You stuttered. You shook your head in an attempt to recompose yourself from her verbal ambush.
“Anyways…I planted a seed for number two on the list.” You said with a mischievous glint in your eye.
“You know I used to think Isuka hated my guts but she still has a soft spot for me.” Ace said, with a hearty laugh as he walked down the hallways of the office.
“What makes you say that?” Marco questioned.
“Out of all the women she coulda thrown at me, this one is amazing. Ten days with her will be like an hour.”
“Right…cos that’s only nine days longer than you’ve spent with any other woman, huh?”
“Why do you think I didn’t give her the good stuff immediately?”
“Gross..” Izou said, nose wrinkling in disgust.
“I’m taking my time. I got her on the ropes.” He said, triumphantly as he gestured to the handbag on his desk.
“Is that hers?” Marco asked, surveying the bag.
“Yup. She probably ran off head spinning. Told you the ladies can’t get enough.” He said as he put his arms behind his head and kicked a foot, accidentally knocking over the bag and causing it to spill over.
“Crap!” He squawked as he rushed over to pick up the scattered belongings. “Ah!” He cursed under his breath, seeing your things. “I feel like I’m looking at something I shouldn’t see.”
“Your fault for getting so cocky.” Izou snorted. “She has taste though. Saint Laurent? You got a classy woman for sure. But didn’t you say she’s pretty sharp? Maybe she left the handbag to secure a next-day callback.”
Izou’s words turned out as Marco and Ace’s eyes fixated on two shiny tickets on the floor.
“Guys…?” Izou called out.
“Knicks tickets…” Marco said, in awe.
“For TONIGHT’S game?!” Ace cried out, eyes glimmering.
The office seemed to be busier than usual today. You stood up from your chair to see what all the commotion was. It was dozens of deliverymen with vases of white roses.
“Yo, Y/N!” Nami called out from the staircase. “The delivery is for you!”
Your eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
“Huh?”
Vivi rushed to get a good look at the notes attached to the flowers.
“…One hundred times…more beautiful than one hundred roses…! Y/N, oh my god!” Vivi gushed.
“I take it he’s back in your good books.” Robin said to Vivi.
“You know me, I’m a romantic.” Vivi shrugged.
“The guy’s in advertising, Vivi.” You giggled as you surveyed the flowers. “Be more sharp.”
“What magic did you work on the guy? Huh?” Vivi responded.
“Oh please. This just means he found the tickets guys.” You said with a derisive snort.
The phone on your desk began to ring. Speak of the devil.
“Hey gorgeous girl, you get my gift?” A familiar voice chimed at the end of the line.
“Yup. Thank you for the public humiliation.” You giggled.
“My speciality. You left your purse at my place.”
“Wow, silly me. I’m such an idiot!” You said, voice saccharinely sweet.
“Ah, don’t say that doll-face! I’m sure you’re missing your lip gloss…your purse and Knick’s tickets!” He said smoothly, causing you to mouth tickets at Robin and Vivi.
“Sounds like you’ve been rummaging through my purse, Freckles. That doesn’t seem very gentlemanly of you~” You singsonged.
“You know I don’t remember considering myself a gentleman. I see myself as more of a wild one.” He shrugged. “So, I’ll barter. You want the purse back? Give me the ticket.”
“Is that blackmail?” You scoffed.
“Maybe.” He grinned.
“Well, I do need my handbag.”
“Yeah, my buddy here says you dropped big bucks.” He said, absentmindedly twirling the phone cord around his finger.
“Your buddy is Joan Rivers?”
“Yeah but hot, so? What do you say doll-face? Cut me some slack!”
“Meet me at the seventh avenue entrance, mkay? 7:30 sharp. You be tardy and I’m selling it.” You warned.
“I’ll be there with bells on.”
“Bye Freckles.”
“Take care, doll-face!”
“And that’s how it’s done!” You both said simultaneously to your co-workers.
Tumblr media
Number 2:
Interrupt his beloved sports — If you’re dating a guy that’s super into sports whether that's soccer, football or basketball, a way to get under his skin is to interfere with it. Constantly interrupting when he is in the middle of surveying the game is a surefire way to drive him up the wall.
It was a few minutes into the game. The atmosphere was lively, it was a ball game of course. The air was crackling with anticipation and excitement as both crowds cheered and clapped for their teams.
You were a little overwhelmed, with all the sensory overload. The announcer over the loudspeaker, all the swearing and crude language.
The Knicks seemed to be down a few points which caused some frustration from your side but there was always hope that they’d get back on track.
The whistle blew, and the teams began to disperse onto the sidelines.
Kiss Me by Sixpence None the Richer filled the stadium which caused the audience to start cheering. The jumbotron settled on a few couples, an elderly couple which earned some oohing and awing.
You immediately froze when you noticed you and Ace on the screen. Since you weren’t playing tonsil tennis straight away, there was some jeering and taunting.
“You good?” He asked, with a hint of concern. You blinked rapidly, feeling some frustration build up. This is why you hated sports events.
You balled up your first in an attempt to ground yourself and smiled at him.
“Yep. You can kiss me.” You said, tone giving away you were uncomfortable.
Ace arched a brow at you.
“You’re the boss.” He snickered.
He reached out to cradle the side of your face to kiss you, your stomach twisted in case he was going to kiss you roughly but as he leaned in, his lips barely grazed the side of your mouth.
The crowd started groaning in disappointment.
“Ah, what?”
“Poor guy stuck with a frigid bitch like that.” A guy from the back called out to his friend.
Your eyes blew wide open.
“What the hell is your problem, you jackass?!” You barked, whipping your head around to face the guy.
Ace seemed dangerously quiet.
After a few minutes, he stood up from the seat, placing his hand on the armchair and leaning in close to your ear, warm breath tickling the shell.
“I’m just gonna get a drink, okay?”
“…Sure.” You said, a little miffed.
Minutes passed, and you were a little shocked that Ace was gone for so long. He seemed so adamant about tagging along, it was confusing why he would miss out on the game.
Your ears picked up on a commotion from the hallways and some people were beginning to leave their seats to spectate the ruckus.
You tugged on a random passerby’s sleeve to garner their attention.
“What’s going on?” You questioned.
“Some dudes are brawling outside the snack cart.” The person responded, gleefully. “Apparently the guy called his girlfriend names!”
You ripped your hand away from the person and began to bound towards the scene.
“…Ace!” Your mind was in complete overdrive.
You pushed through the crowds, which earned swearing but you didn’t care. And there it was, Ace pummelling the hell out of the same guy who had called you a frigid bitch earlier on.
Your stomach dropped and your feet were glued to the ground. You couldn’t move. Your heart was racing so fast you thought it was going to explode.
People jostled past you to get a full view of the fight until somebody said something about calling the cops and the arena’s staff were rushing to break it up.
That man was at least twice Ace’s size, with a brawny build.
Your hand flew over your mouth when you registered what exactly was taking place. The Ace in front of you was not the same guy you met that night or even the same guy you arrived at the game with.
The way every blow landed with sickening sounds of flesh and grunts it solidified that for sure.
You felt yourself being shoved once more when the cops finally arrived and they struggles to pry Ace off of the man.
Things were a blur, but as you sat in the station your mind was going at insane speeds.
You were planning on making Ace get up out of his seat to get you snacks regardless. And maybe keep asking for different drinks.
Now you felt awful for even cooking that up while he’s sat in a holding cell.
He joked he was a wild boy but it was a little insane that he held his own against such a mountain of a man, with a hulking frame.
The doors opened and there was Ace, rubbing his sore wrists and lightening up when his eyes settled on you.
“Hey, doll-face! Hope I didn’t scare you too much.” He said as he draped an arm around you and pulled you close to his side.
His lip was split and his knuckles were a mixture of purple and red with stained blood.
“…Why’d they let you go? I thought you dislocated his jaw.” You asked, meekly.
“Yeah, but the asshole decided not to press charges. I still got hit with a disorderly conduct charge though.” He chuckled as he rubbed the nape of his neck.
“I’m sorry..” You mumbled.
“Why are you apologising?” He asked, gently as his eyebrows knitted together.
“None of this woulda happened if I just made out with you.” You said head hung low.
You felt him take your chin between his forefinger and thumb.
“…Y/N, don’t ever apologise for not wanting to do something that makes you uncomfortable. The only person who should be feelin’ sorry is that jackass and he’ll be eating baby food for the next few months.”
God, he was dark.
It made you snicker all the same.
“I ruined our date.” You sighed.
“You didn’t ruin anything, you knucklehead. If anything we made a night to remember, huh?” He grinned.
It was odd. As the two of you walked down the pavement, you thought about it. You were going to ruin the night for him but it seemed like he cared about you.
“…Ace.”
“Yeah, pretty girl?”
“If you were gonna fight him, why didn’t you do it there?” You chuckled.
“Hmm…cos I didn’t wanna get you mixed up in my business. Plus it woulda been pretty awkward if I lost in front of you.” He responded.
“I have a feeling you knew you weren’t gonna lose, Freckles.” You giggled, feeling as if you were slowly returning to yourself.
“Am I gonna get a house tour?” He asked, hopefully as he had his hands in his pockets.
“In your dreams, muchacho. I think I’ve had enough excitement for one night.”
“I guess you’re right, doll-face. Go head in the building, I’ll be on my way when you’re out of sight.” He said.
You swallowed a little thickly, then took a few steps forward towards him. You slid a hand on the nape of his neck as you gently crushed your lips against him.
As you pulled away, and rested your forehead against his own he gave you a wolfish grin.
“I guess I gotta get into brawls more often, eh?”
“Ace. I swear to God.” You said, with an edge to your voice which just made him chuckle more.
“Alright, alright. I’m on my best behaviour.” He said. He stole your lips again and seemed to want to get a little heated but it backfired on him.
“Ow, ow, ow!” He cried out, then gently massaged his split lip.
“Serves you right.” You snorted.
“Worth it.”
Tumblr media
Number 3: Call like crazy — Nobody and I mean nobody likes a clingy girl. Only call if necessary!
“So if we look at the projections of the sales this month, we can see-” Isuka trailed off and all eyes in the boardroom fixated on Ace when his phone began to blare out.
His eyes widened because he didn’t remember expecting any phone calls.
“…Sorry, it’s Y/N.” He said, sheepishly as he looked at Newgate. He put his phone underneath the desk and tried to hang up.
“Sorry, Isuka.” He said apologetically, with a hand gesture. She rolled her eyes.
“So as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted…sales are-”
The door swung open and Newgate’s secretary held a phone.
“Hi, I’m sorry to bother this meeting. There is an urgent phone call for Ace?” She said.
“…Who is it?” Ace asked.
“Umm, she says you will know.” She said, as she gingerly handed the phone towards Ace.
“…Hi doll-face,” Ace answered in a pained tone.
You were on the rooftop of Sleek’s building with Vivi and Nami by your side, they were giggling at the prospect and it felt like the three of you were middle schoolers at a sleepover.
“Hi, Pookie! I missed my sugar plum so so so much! Are you alright after last night, I totally forgot I should’ve kissed your booboos all better!” You said in a baby voice down the phone line as Nami and Vivi were rolling around in hysterics. It was taking everything within you not to start laughing.
The entirety of the boardroom, from Marco, Izou, Kujaku and Isaku tried their best not to start howling like hyenas.
“…Sugar plum?” Marco repeated.
“Boo, boos?!” Kujaku whisper shouted.
“Uh…honey I can’t really talk right now. It’s fine…I’m fine.” Ace said, shoulders hunched over and casting a downward gaze since he was too humiliated to make eye contact with everybody else. His cheeks were flushed red.
“Okay, my Acey Wacey. I love you so so so much..!” You said then made obnoxiously loud kissing noises into the phone.
He had no idea what got into you. If this was under regular circumstances, he would’ve hung up and ghosted you completely.
But he needed to keep you around, even if it meant at the cost of his reputation at work and self-esteem.
“…Love you too.” He said through gritted teeth and you hung up the phone.
The three of you erupted into boisterous laughter, tears streaming down your cheeks and clutching at your sides.
“You are going to HELL.” Nami cried out, her cheeks flushed.
“Oh well. I’ll drag Acey Wacey with me.” You responded which reignited the laughter once again.
“I can never show my face to Pops again.” Ace said as he sat in the corner of his shared office with Marco and Izou, grasping the roots of his hair.
“I thought you said Y/N was normal.” Marco asked, taken aback at that phone call.
“She was! Everything was fine, I have no clue what happened?!” Ace cried out, mouth agape.
“You made her the damsel in distress, that’s what happened.” Izou snorted.
“Oh please. Like that woulda made a difference.”
“No, I think he’s onto something Ace! Of course, a girl would go all crazy if a guy broke somebody’s face for their honour or whatever,” Marco said, clicking his fingers.
“Well, I’m inviting her over again. I can’t even chew her out the way I want to.” He muttered.
“Just eight more days, pal.” Marco said as he patted Ace’s shoulder.
“What’s the end game, Y/N?” Vivi questioned as you headed back downstairs.
“Hm?”
“Well, you said he’s all sweet and he kinda seems like a keeper. Why drive him off?” She shrugged.
You gnawed your lip a little.
“I’m not really sure, Vivi. But this article comes first. Freckles is just another guy as far as I’m concerned.”
“Whatever you say.” Vivi snorted, unbelieving.
You weren’t sure you believed what came out of your mouth either.

One Piece Chapters 103-111
Sorry, I meant to say “One Piece Chapters 103_!!!” but I forgot to hold shift for the last bit. “_” in this context means “and then the 8 after that”.
Chapter 103 - The Whale
It’s a flower... it’s a man... no, it’s Super um well I can’t say “man”
Super is a weirdo.
Tumblr media
Oh, it’s just like The Truman Show! Super must be Truman.
Anyway, the crew is speculating based on certain pieces of evidence that the whale isn’t a hoax after all. Although of course they haven’t seen what Lufpy’s seen.
Tumblr media
lmao what a speech bubble
HUH??? SUPERSPIES WITH REGAL ROCKET LAUNCHERS ARE INFILTRATING THE METALLIC INTERIOR OF THE WHALE??? HUH???
Tumblr media
of course they will
SuperTruman is immune to rocket blasts, so he tanks a couple in order to protect the whale. I guess the whale really isn’t a hoax? It just has elaborate body mods?
Oh, the whale was friends with a nonzero amount of humans who have since disappeared forever, and is thusly obsessed with a certain location. We’re doing the dog who isn’t named Jake again.
Chapter 104 - Cape Promise
This chapter largely centers around the crew discussing the whale’s predicament, until Lufpy starts attacking it, declaring that some day he will be even stronger than it. Call that a “palindrome whale”.
Chapter 105 - Log Pose
In order to make the whale stop headbutting things, Lufpy gives it some body art. Wait that begs the question. Why didn’t the guy who gave it body mods. Simply give it a helmet.
Well whatever.
The crew is hanging out and having fun, but their compass isn’t working. SuperTruman explains that the Grand Line is a place where compasses don’t work, so they need a BetterCompass. But they already have one, so Nami assaults Lufpy arbitrarily. Hm this would probably be a bad time to bring up my “Nami = Dad, Lufpy = Mom” reading.
Tumblr media
Oh it’s like Space Junk Galaxy. They’ll need to travel from pull star to pull star. Only each one can have events and characters. So it’s a bit different as well.
اٗ —ðsžšåÞя½ © ????ðsžšåÞя— there’s an Ultimate Pull Star at the end of Space Junk Galaxy: Raftel. I guess something super special and important will happen when Lufpy and his crew reach it. Or they just won’t. One of those two.
Lufpy pulls the signature move that distinguishes him from Nami: Eating bones. —ðsžšåÞя½ © ????ðsžšåÞя—� Usopp doesn’t eat bones either.
Sanji assaults Lufpy because he wanted Nami to eat bones. This makes sense. Sanji is, after all, a reformed non-bone-eater.
Next, Usopp and Zoro need to find excuses to assault Lufpy. This will level up Lufpy into Brooding Antihero Lufpy who has cast off the shackles known as the power of friendship.
Instead of that happening, Nami assaults Sanji, thusly establishing a hierarchy. The crew’s BetterCompass also got destroyed at some point in there, but it’s okay, because they immediately get another one. I guess the universal forces that govern One Piece really don’t want there to be an arc about needing to seek out a BetterCompass.
Also, the superspies have their own personal Team Dark counterparts who are animals instead of humans.
Tumblr media
Wait, now that this sequence has drawn attention to it... HOW IS LUFPY ALIVE?! WHAT DID HE DO TO SURVIVE?!
Oh, never mind, in the next panel Sanji has his arm around Lufpy’s neck. Man, why is Sanji always the one who gets relegated to preventing-Lufpy-from-drowning duties? Usopp or someone should pick up the slack a little. I thought better of you, Usopp.
Sanji also prevents the female superspy from drowning! Sanji has a dangerous addiction to preventing people from drowning! This will be the crew’s downfall later.
Anyway, Lufpy agrees to let the Team Hero superspies be their new Johnny and Yosaku. I like them better than Johnny and Yosaku though, so I actually won’t mind having them around.
Chapter 106 - The Town of Welcome
We get a time skip to Christmastime or something like that. Lufpy and Usopp are building snow sculptures, but Nami hates winter, so she isn’t. Relatable.
Actually, the time skip to Christmastime was only a few moments long. That is the power of the Grand Line. Or I guess maybe it’s like Narnia, where it’s always winter but never Christmas. Indeterminate.
A new disaster is happening every single tiny panel. Then Zoro wakes up and everything’s fine. This is the power of Zoro’s Dream...!
Tumblr media
What the hell is that. How is that biologically possible. It’s grotesque.
The crew reaches some big cactuses, so the superspies immediately leave. What?! No... how come Johnny and Yosaku got all that focus and the superspies are gone before we even truly knew them? How unfair!
Anyway, the crew has to stay near the cactuses for a while, but there’s a problem: Usopp has a disease that squeezes his speech bubbles.
Tumblr media
The cactus area turns out to be inhabited by lots of friendly people. One of them has a saxophone. Nami doesn’t seem into it, but there’s NO CHOICE. NO CHOICE. NO CHOICE.
Chapter 107 - Moonlight and Tombstones
Lufpy is engaging in fetishes as usual.
Tumblr media
As for what Usopp and Zoro is doing, Usopp is doing the best thing possible to do in this situation, and Zoro is doing a lamer version of what Nami is doing. How in-character of them.
...I like how while Lufpy is in a food coma and Zoro and Nami are passed out drunk, Usopp collapses from... bragging-induced ecstasy?
¶ðsžšåÞя©©ráÚÆ ????▀¶ðsžšåÞя©©ráÚÆ ????▀ the guy with the saxophone is actually the prequel to the male superspy.
It turns out Zoro’s real reason for drinking less than Nami was that he wasn’t actually drunk. Zoro explains that since he uses swords, he’s not the type of guy who actually drinks enough to pass out. I guess since one of Zoro’s fifteen gimmicks is taking naps while sober, it makes sense that he wouldn’t want to take a drunken nap. ...Maybe if Zoro had an endless supply of beer he’d be more useful.
Woah, the cactus’s spines are all actually graves? That’s the goofiest possible way a thing could be totally metal.
Zoro’s enemies say “We’re not idiots!” and shoot each other with guns.
The saxophone guy proclaims that Zoro shouldn’t be hard to stop, because he’s just one swordsman... but that’s just it, isn’t it? The fewer the swords, the stronger the opponent. Zoro will surely win. In the meantime, though, the saxophone is super deadly.
Chapter 108 - 100 Bounty Hunters
...hey wait if zoro knew that there was an evil organization wouldn’t it have been smarter to not let his crewmates pass out, so he could have four allies in this fight?
OH HECK YES THERE’S COWBOYS
AND THE NUN IS DONKEY KONG’S DAUGHTER
Zoro complains about his cursed sword: It destroyed a mallet he wanted it to merely collide with, which means it’s rowdy or something. By calling his cursed sword a “problem child”, Zoro also manages to summon an ACTUAL problem child, who wields yet another nun as his weapon. Zoro doesn’t find that very notable.
Next, Zoro ends up knocking over one or two ladderfuls of people. The joke’s on him, though, because ladders can also be used as bludgeoning weapons! So can fists! But so can turning the tables on people by grabbing them by the face, I guess.
Zoro’s enemies decide that he, and not Lufpy, must be the true main character of One Piece.
Chapter 109 - A Question of Duty
Zoro is now against the ultimate powers of his REAL enemies: A saxophone, a Chocobo, and front-flips. It occurs to me: Lufpy would be mad if he found out how much of a non-1v1 Zoro is engaging in right now. Totally uncool, Zoro! Even considering the fact that Lufpy is okay with clearing out small fry if doing so leads to a 1v1, Zoro is still engaged in a 1v3 right now!
For the guy who does frontflips, Zoro asks him to do more flips and he does a backflip to his death.
For the woman with a Chocobo, she hypnotizes him with her boobs but then the Chocobo kills her.
However, Zoro is still an anti-Lufpy rebel, so the frontflip guy and Chocobo woman turn out to not be dead, ensuring that Zoro still isn’t fighting a 1v1! In fact, the frontflip guy has another trick: His baseball bat has a “grappling the-end-of-the-bat” function in lieu of being a grappling hook. The Chocobo woman has another trick too: Taking Lufpy hostage while he sleeps! The saxophone guy has another trick too: GUNS IN HIS HAIR???
Zoro wins the fight by swinging the frontflip guy around and using him as a weapon. Then using Lufpy as a trampoline in a fetishistic type of way for maximum damage against the saxophone guy.
The night is over!
Chapter 110 - The Night Isn’t Over
Lufpy wakes up, so Lufpy goes to sleep.
The animalistic Team Dark looms... and a Team Even Darker shows its face.
It turns out Team Even Darker is looking for a double agent who is only pretending to serve Zoro’s enemies’ interests, but actually serves a monarchy. That’s right: It’s the saxophone guy. And also the female member of Team Hero, also known as the Chocobo woman, also known as a princess.
The male member of Team Hero (also known as the frontflip guy) is very confused, but decides to do a heroic sacrifice anyway. The saxophone guy wants Zoro to get involved with this.
Nami shows up to agree to the saxophone guy’s request (for a price). Hell yes!! It’s Nami!! I’m glad drunkenness isn’t a real thing.
Chapter 111 - The Secret Criminal Organization
The fact that Nami also wasn’t drunk is very funny, because it presumably means she was simply choosing not to do anything to help Zoro while he was fighting for his life. I love Nami so much.
Meanwhile, Lufpy is going to indulge his scat fetish.
Tumblr media
This is a nice establishing shot.
The stronger of the two nuns also confusedly engages in a heroic sacrifice. She gets exploded. This is the Devil Fruit Power of the male member of Team Even Darker: Exploding people.
The princess gets saved from getting exploded by a Zoro ex Machina like so:
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Nami does her part: She’s learning about the bad guys. It turns out their secret organization revolves around a system where the closer your name is to that of the enigmatic “Mr. Zero”, the more power you hold. I hope the final boss of this arc is a guy named Mr. Zeko or something (obviously it would be different in the original Japanese). That would be a lot funnier than something like a Mr. One or whatever.
When interrogated as to his motives, Zoro says “I have my reasons” because that’s a cooler thing to say than “I wouldn’t be bothering with this if it weren’t for the fact that Nami wants money”.
Lufpy decides to oppose Zoro. Well I hope that doesn’t turn out poorly.

i’ve had this idea for awhile but i think you would execute it beautifully <333
so may i pls request a fic where zoro just assumes you’re dating bc you’ve been hanging out for awhile but you refuse to be his s/o until he asks you formally. and then the rest of the strawhats try to encourage him and give advice on how to ask you out
pls he’d be so annoyed but he’d take it begrudgingly bc he truly needs all the help he can get 😭😭😭

CHEAP SHoT+ / ☻
Tumblr media
☻  /  pairing . . .  roronoa zoro x gn!reader.
☻  /  type of love . . .  romantic.
☻  /  synopsis . . .  it was all there, the body language, the flirting, the intimate moments. there was nothing stopping zoro from claiming to the world that the two of you were together...well except the fact that he hasn’t even formally asked you yet.
☻  /  content warnings . . .  mentions of sparring. not proofread.
☻  /  commentary . . .  it’s a bit different from my usual writing bcuz i wrote in 2nd person this time. but i really liked how this one turned out. but thank you for this ADORABLE request and trusting me with it ares !! <333333
Tumblr media
It was a calm day aboard the Sunny. The ship was going full speed ahead to the next island. The Straw Hats had stuck to their usual activities, all except Zoro whose mind was too focused elsewhere to complete one of his unsparing training sessions.
Rather his mind was focused on someone else.
You.
You clouded every corner of his mind like no other. Whether it be your smile, your eyes, your confidence, and how proudly you carry yourself, you were always on his mind.
Upon joining the crew, Zoro immediately took to you. You had become his designated sparring partner, giving the swordsmen a run for his money like no other. Plus that little smirk you would always give when you had the upper hand in your sessions. It drove him MAD.
It was obvious Zoro was into you, just as it was obvious you were into him.
The lingering glances, the rather intimate touches during and after training sessions, the relentless flirting, and almost kisses where the tip of your noses touched but you would always turn on your heel just before he could close the space in between your lips.
This to Zoro meant you were already his. And while yes, you wanted him like no other, you still also wanted to be officially asked more than anything.
So when Zoro had tried to introduce himself as your boyfriend to some random citizen who was bothering you from the previous island the Straw Hats were docked, you shut him down, reminding him he never asked.
“Since when? I don’t recall ever being asked,” He remembered you saying, arms folded across your chest with a raised eyebrow. He tried to brush it off, asking why it was such a big deal in the first place.
You didn’t even answer, a brief hurt expression glossing passed your eyes. You tried to pretend like his words didn’t bother you, trying to understand this was something new for him too. But that didn’t make it hurt any less.
Zoro noticed it. He maybe couldn’t understand what was wrong but he definitely could see there was a problem and he was the cause of it. Being formally asked was something you cared about, and he made you feel bad about it. He’d never forgive him.
He had to do better if he wanted what the two of you had to work.
The thing was...he didn’t even know how to ask.
Did he just flat-out say it? Or was there some whole courting process he wasn’t aware of?
Having already been told about the situation by you, Nami and Robin had approached the swordsmen first. Chopper had tagged along, being held in Robin’s arms.
The advice the two women gave him was mostly simple and started off very light.
“Do something cute for them! Oh! Maybe some flowers and then talk about your feelings,” Nami suggested.
“You could ask after one of your sparring sessions when the two of you come down from the high of nearly killing one another,” Robin added, though everyone had chosen to swiftly move past the second part of her suggestion.
Chopper’s eyes lit up as he came up with an idea of his own, “Maybe get them some candy too!”
An eavesdropping captain had appeared over Nami’s shoulder, with a large piece of meat in tow, “Get them some food!”
“Luffy...do you even know what we’re talking about?” The orange-haired navigator questioned with an annoyed expression as she internally cringed at the sound of him violently chewing so close to her ear.
Luffy answered with a swift ‘Nope’ before continuing his loud chewing. Restraining herself from strangling him, Nami took a few steps forward, “We’re trying to help Zoro ask ( y/n ) out, so they can officially start dating.”
As if there were a disturbance across the sea, out of the corner of her eye, Nami could see Sanji nearly fall to his knees in defeat.
Seeing the cook, Chopper got an idea, “Maybe we could ask Sanji since he’s very romantic! Maybe he would know how to win ( y/n ) over!” With the sudden praise, the cook had regained some of his confidence back.
“Hard pass. I don’t need advice from him. Any advice he’d give me would just scare ( y/n ) away.”
And there went his confidence again.
“Umm...what just happened to Sanji?” Usopp had questioned.
“He got his feelings hurt.”
A few hours had passed. Zoro found himself in the training room, thinking of each of the suggestions given to him. The flowers, during training, over food.
Walking past Usopp, Franky, and Brook here, the trio offered the suggestion of taking them on some spontaneous date. Ax throwing was the first thing that came to Franky’s mind. It sounded like fun, but not likely the place to ask someone out.
On the complete opposite end, Jinbei suggests if he was in your place, he would love to be asked on a calm afternoon beach date. As the sun begins to set and the sky turns purple, whomever he loved confessed. Realizing what he said aloud, the fishman had flushed and tried to move past it.
But none of those suggestions even sounded remotely like something he would do. What if he couldn’t even pull them off? What if the suggestion he chose didn’t make you happy?
Knocking him out of his daze, the door to the training room to see you walk into the room. You were dressed in your usual training clothes, hands stuffed into your pockets, “I wanted to relax but couldn’t. Decided the next best thing was to come up to train with you, is that okay?”
“Y-Yeah...that’s fine. Wanna spar?”
“Only if you’re prepared to lose.”
Sparring with one another, the two of you were in your natural element. All smiles and giggles. The chemistry between the two of you had really shined through. He wanted it to never end.
As your weapons had clashed, he did what felt right to him.
“( y/n ), will you be mine?”
You froze in your tracks, taken aback by his sudden outburst.
“This is probably the worst time to even ask. You know I’m not good at this romantic stuff. But I want to learn for you. I want us to be official. Hell, I’ll scream to the world how much I care about you...how much I love you,” His eyes softened, pure love filling them as he stared longingly into yours.
“Zoro...” You trailed off, noticing he had left himself open, his usual strong defense was nowhere to be found. You took the chance to sweep his leg, before tackling him to the ground.
The green-haired swordsmen fit the ground with a loud thud, as you had straddled him, “I win!” Before Zoro could open his mouth, you leaned down to press a gentle kiss to the tip of his nose. “Yes, I will.”
“Well, that means we technically both won,” Zoro teased, unconsciously placing his hands on your hips, “You still cheap-shotted me. I was vulnerable.”
You pouted lightly, bringing a hand to his face to stroke his cheek, “I know, I’m sorry, my love. If you have any injuries I’ll be sure to take care of them.”
“Well now that you mention it...”

A very Sanuso Christmas #2
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧
"Past Christmases, future gifts"
Sanji and Usopp aren't fond of Christmas at first. It's nothing against the holiday, really, it's just a bit personal for both so they don't bring it up when Nami and Franky go all the way to make it the best Christmas they've ever had, now that they can spend one together. They had things planned for Christmas two years prior but... Sabaody things happened.
The Vinsmokes didn't celebrate Christmas. Well, they did, just in their own fucked up way in which presents are new updates for their core system or weapons or, y'know, selfish and messed up stuff Sanji refuses to remember. It was the time of the year in which Judge gave the siblings one single thing they wanted the most. Sanji never got anything because Judge always said he had to earn it first. But he didn't care (liar). It wasn't like Christmas was a thing between them. He always ended up beaten up and bruised like any other day... Just a bit worse, since his brothers were in a very excited mood... However, Sanji still has good memories of it. His holidays were spending the night with his mother at the hospital, counting stars, and gifting her his (pretty much burnt) cakes and sweets. She always managed to get one of the people from the staff to bring her cookbooks or new cooking supplies because it was the only thing she could do from where she was. And it wasn't the best, but for little Sanji? Those books were his whole world. So Christmas wasn't that bad. He loved his mom and her simple smiles were the best gift he could ask for. But then she died and then he ended up locked up and- Well. Whatever. Then he meets Zeff and Christmas actually becomes a real thing, but not quite. The Baratie always had Christmas decorations because it attracted more people and the crew always asked Zeff for it, but the man was only excited for the Christmas cooking so... He let them do whatever as long as they kept working. Sanji never expected something there. He didn't expect presents for the first Christmas they spent together. No presents. No Christmas spirit. No family bonding the way other families did. And it's okay, because Zeff wasn't his dad after all. But then he saw one single gift, poorly wrapped up in his bed... And he had never been happier. Those gifts became more recurrent with the passage of time, turning into more gifts and, not only magically appearing on his bed, but being gifted by Zeff himself. One Christmas morning, when Sanji was around fifteen, he woke up to find his usual gift. But this time it was signed with "From: Dad / To: Eggplant" instead of whatever bullshit the old man decided to use to sign before. So, yeah, Sanji does have good memories about Christmas but he doesn't take anything for granted because he had to, somehow, earn Zeff's respect and love in some way too and his past still haunts him anyway. So he doesn't think he deserves to enjoy Christmas around the ship like everybody else. Even if he does like Christmas now, it's a little overwhelming. All the memories at once and the new experiences quickly happening around him. He's happy just- It's just too much.
Usopp is basically the same when it comes to Christmas. He has good memories of it, his mother always making the most of the Holidays and the village always celebrating together. He received little handmade gifts from his mother that were never much, but enough to make him the happiest kid in the world, and she always got precious drawings from him that she always kept close to her heart. Then he ended up climbing the tree next to Kaya's window to give her flowers or anything he could manage to get. Old books... Perfumes he had worked hard to buy... Handmade necklaces... And those weren't like those expensive gifts she always got, but his best friend loved them. Kaya always gave him new art supplies. Good ones. He almost teared up every time. So, really good Christmas memories, right? Except that he always saw kids playing around and spending time with their fathers... And he knew, even when he was a kid, that Yasopp would come back. That he didn't have to mourn any loss because they'd be able to spend Christmas with his mom someday! And then she died. Kaya's parents did too. And it was never the same. He wanted to try and go back to celebrating Christmas once he formed his little crew, but those kids had families aside from him. He couldn't really force them to be with him. But he is an adventurer! A pirate! Christmas isn't really that big of a deal. So he moves on and doesn't expect the crew to actually want to do something for this time of the year. Heck, he didn't even expect Luffy to have celebrated Christmas before. He sort of seemed like the type of kid to not know about these things, but whatever. It's still very overwhelming.
They throw this big party on the ship, and they've never been so fucking loud. Not even on Birthdays. Brook is playing Christmas carols, Sanji is cooking nonstop, Nami is giving everyone gifts (there are a lot from her to herself, too, not surprising at all), Zoro is already drunk, Luffy wears a Christmas hat on top of the Strawhat... Etc, etc, etc. And they're all full of love and overflowing joy. So much they could cry (Franky does). But, you know, it gets a bit overwhelming for Usopp and Sanji, whose Christmas celebrations were quiet and peaceful and not this loud. Usopp sees Sanji walking to the Aquarium, and he follows his boyfriend instantly.
They end up sitting silently next to each other on the couch, watching the fish and saying nothing for a long time while Sanji smokes (trying not to bother Usopp). Somehow they end up tangled up there, one of the cook's legs on top of Usopp's lap and the sniper's hand caressing his thigh. They don't say anything, but Sanji knows Usopp is overthinking something by the way he's gripping his leg.
"Spit it out." He takes another drag of his cigarette.
Usopp frowns and chuckles as if he didn't know what he meant. "What do you mean spit it out?"
The cook rolls his eyes, and brings Usopp closer with his leg. "There's something bothering you. I'm not stupid, mon trésor."
The sniper has a hard time putting the words together, but manages to speak up after a few seconds of his trembling voice betraying him. "I didn't get you anything."
And then Sanji does something Usopp never expected him to do: He shrugs his shoulders, lets the smoke fill the room, and fixates his eyes on a fish in front of them. "Me neither. Didn't even know we were doing this."
"I didn't either!" He exclaims, overhyped by someone finally understanding his situation. "Nami was so excited yesterday and, like, girl, give me time to think, will ya? I didn't even celebrate these things when I was a kid."
That catches Sanji by surprise. "You didn't?"
Usopp shakes his head and refuses to look Sanji in the eyes. "We used to do it when mom was around and then I think I just stopped caring much about it with nobody to do celebrate with. Kaya was always busy around that time after her parents passed, too, so... Yeah. I guess having all of this party is just a bit-"
"Too much?" The sniper turns his head around, and they can't help but laugh when their eyes meet. "Yeah, I get it. My Holidays weren't exactly the best when my mother passed and my old man wasn't one for big parties like this, so... Feels a bit odd."
When Sanji seems to be done with his cigarette, throwing it on an empty glass of wine he had around, Usopp doesn't hesitate to hold his hand. Sanji caresses his hand back. Nobody says a thing for a long while until Usopp rests his head on top of the cook's shoulder. "I will get you something next time."
Sanji hums, his other hand stroking Usopp's hair. "I'll get you something this year the second we find a nice village."
Usopp can only roll his eyes at that. "Why do you always have to be like this? Stop trying to be more romantic than me!"
"I am more romantic than you, though." He places a kiss on top of Usopp's head, and keeps his face buried there. "I'll make a nice, special breakfast for you tomorrow."
The sniper wants to complain, but who is he to reject one of Sanji's special dishes cooked with all the love in the world? So he just smiles, nods, and accepts his fate like that.
They can only hear the muttered music and screams from outside for a long time, enjoying each other's presence as their most precious gift of the night.
"Mom said we'd be able to spend Christmas as a family one day." He cuddles closer to Sanji. "She isn't here, but I guess she was right."
Sanji holds back the urge to fill Usopp's face with unstoppable kisses for the sake of the moment. "Reiju said something like that once, too." And after a few seconds of meditating and drowning in Usopp's scent, Sanji speaks, maybe a little bit too tipsy for this conversation now. "You know, Christmas will be even better once we have kids-"
"We're so not having this conversation again right now."

ONE PIECE CHARACTERS’ VALENTINES HEADCANONS
Tumblr media
Characters: Ace, Sabo, Law, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Doflamingo, Crocodile, Nami, Yamato, Shanks, Koby, Corazon, Mihawk, Kid, Killer, Usopp, Robin, Marco, Rayleigh.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ACE
-Violets are red, Roses are blue Would you be my valentine Because I want you. -Ace, how to tell you that…Violets aren’t red? -Girl are you seastone? / -Why ? / -Because you make me feel weak in the knees ;) ;) -Y/N : facepalm -Or he’s the type with a sombrero and an ukelele under your window. Luffy serves as the chorus and Sabo immortalizes the moment by taking pictures. -Y/N regrets the day in which they met this dude. “I..don’t know him!”
SABO
-Lowkey forgets it’s Valentines’ unless someone reminds him. -Then pretends he didn’t forget about it. -Koala: Hey Sabo, what did you get Y/N? -Sabo: *moment of Silence, is it her birthday? No, it can’t be. He memorized it ! Oh fuck…Valentine’s…* -Koala: …? -Sabo: It’s a…surprise! A very special one. By the way, I gotta go for now :) RUN. -If you give him chocolate, he’d be surprised. Everyone assumes he gets a ton but he actually never received any before! -Sabo: “You made this for me? Wow! That’s nice of you.” *eats the chocolate* “That’s so good Y/N!” -Would probably get you a gift instead of chocolate, a little hair pin or something that reminded him of you… -Or a rock…
LAW
-looks at you, looks at the chocolate, looks back at you. -”Thanks.” Just that. Nothing more and nothing less. -He even forgot that it’s Valentine’s (Unless everyone is wearing heart-shaped things and it gets on his nerves, even though his crew name is…The heart’s pirates!) -Basically this meme every time you ask about his plans for valentines’ -Y/N: Law what would you like for valentines’? -Law: *a look on his face that means: don’t pressure me to show love, thanks.” -would gift you something a few days after Valentine’. Wouldn’t even mention it. He’d just put it on the table somewhere like nothing.
SANJI
-The most romantic bf ever. -Fancy dinner for two. Acts like the perfect gentleman. -If you make chocolate for him he will literally put it in a museum, he’d be so happy. -The most cliché and romantic dinner ideas with candles and all that stuff
ZORO
-Y/N: Zoro? Got any plans for Valentines’? -Zoro: Hm? *eyebrow twitches* -Y/N: alright…I got the message. -If you wanna do something special together, YOU bring him to the restaurant, don’t leave him alone to find it, he’s gonna get lost. -Chocolate? Nah, not his thing. He’d give it to Chopper. Unless it has liquor inside!
LUFFY
-Valentine’s? Who’s that? Can I eat it too? -It’s the chocolate holiday! Eats the chocolate before you EVEN hand it to him. -Doesn’t know who the hell is Valentine but he loves this dude. -Why do we need a day to show love? Well, doesn’t matter, we have chocolate! -Don’t count on him to do something romantic for you, would probably draw a luffy style drawing, that’s the most effort he would put into this.
DOFLAMINGO
-Fancy dinner at a hotel, a SPA and making love all night long :) -Forget about your legs the next day. -He’d actually appreciate if you gift him chocolate, or anything, really. -Prefers non-fashion items since you’d get something too cheap for his tastes lol -Orders enough flowers to fill a huge room, but he wouldn’t be the one putting them in there of course. -His perfect idea of a gift is you. Naked. With a bow on your head. Thanks :) -Buys you lingerie
CROCODILE
-Throws luxurious chocolates on the table without a word. -”Here I was gonna throw them away.” -Maybe gifts you some silky scarf. -His idea of the perfect date is staying indoors together.
KOBY
-Would make a plan to confess to you on Valentine’s like a month before :) -You’d both confess on valentines. -Koby *stutters* Y..Y/N ! I had something to tell you. *cold sweat* -It would be such an awkward date. Every time you’d try to talk you’d do it at the same time. Everything would be awkward but cute. -Writes you a letter and blushes like crazy while you’re reading it. -If you happen to make chocolate for him, he wouldn’t even dare eat it.
CORAZON
-Get.him.away.from.the.kitchen.and.knives. -He’d think about making something for you. The intention is there but the execution is just….A disaster. -Y/N: Corazon? Why is the kitchen on fire? -Corazon: … The kitchen is on fire…?
MIHAWK
-Invites you over. Some classical music playing. Glasses of wine and a fancy dinner he made himself :) -With the vegetables from his garden, and candles he made himself with his own bee-wax, and wine he aged for 1 thousand year in his cave. -I think he’d gift you a broche, a spider-shaped one with jems.
NAMI
-Buys in bulk cheap chocolate after last year’s valentines to sell it extra expensive to those who forgot about valentine’s -Gifts you something she bought discounted last year and expects you to buy her expensive stuff. -Nami: “Here, I got you this chocolate! By the way, I added that on your debt. Ah, you should also eat it fast, it expires in two days.”
KID
-Ruin’s Killer’s date. -He’d actually gift you something that HE finds cool. What? You didn’t like that canon? Bullshit. It’s so fucking cool. You just have bad tastes. -His idea of the perfect date is having you stroke his ego =) -Just makes something for you because he KNOWS that you’d nag him about forgetting Valentine’s every year. “See? I didn’t forget this time!” *shit-eating grin*
YAMATO
-Makes Oden for you! -Gifts you a plush that he won at the fun fair or something hand-made. -OR, it would be a group date. :) With Ace :) Spoiler alert: it’s a disaster. They’re just too loud and the testosterone is too high.
SHANKS
“Bitch you is fine, Dat ass is divine, It’s finer than wine Got flawless design” - Love from Shanks -Ok, he didn’t even write it himself, he found it on some random website and thought it’s funny. Shanks: ”Hey babe, I brought you a flower ” Y/N: “Hm…? Why are you giving me bad grass?” -Shanks: “Had to improvise. ”
Usopp
-Honestly, he’s husband material. The whole day would be special, from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed. -He would make a map for you to find your “gift”, it would be like a little escape game that he have structured himself and it would tell a cute tale or story.
Robin
-Would gift flowers -She’d like ANYTHING you get her. -The more ugly, eerie or weird the gift you get her is, the cuter she'll find it. -”Ara, you got me a garden dwarf? How thoughtful of you!”
Brook
-Yo ho ho! I should do something for my girlfriend! Wait a minute, I don’t have a girlfriend because I’m dead.
Marco
-He’s romantic yet quiet simple. He had at least 30 ideas of what to gift you. -He’d explain to you his whole thought process, like, literally giving you a lecture on why this gift made him think of you.
Killer
-Pasta date -Shows love through actions and acts of services more than words. -Kid and Killer come in a pack. So you’d have to accept
Rayleigh
-Gifts you something he gifted to someone else before :)

Hello there
This one is a bit lengthy but can i please get headcanons of the straw hats reaction to an admiral reader(gender neutral please) who quits the marine to join them, and is at first is distrusted but does something to gain theirs trust
I hope it's not too much trouble
It's no trouble at all! I really like this idea, it was a ton of fun to write! I hope you enjoy it ^^
Luffy:
He found you during a fight with the marines
He noticed...you were so much stronger than the marines you were fighting with
Maybe not strong in comparison to Luffy...but he was extremely powerful so comparing to him isn’t fair
He saw you deal what should have been a finishing blow to his crewmates…
But for some reason you never hit them hard enough to kill them
Down them, sure...but never kill
He makes quick work of the other marines, and approaches you with a smile
“Join my crew!”
You looked at him baffled
“Quit the marines and throw away all my hard work to become an admiral because some...kid thinks I would be a good match for his crew? No thanks.”
Luffy left it at that, but knew he’d see you again soon
You encountered him once more at a nearby island
“Is...is that offer still on the table?”
He grinned wide and pulled you by your hand to his ship
He couldn’t put his finger on it...but something was special about you
He just knew the crew would love you
After they get over their initial distrust that is
But Luffy? He trusted you already
No hesitation, he knew you had a good heart and that’s what really mattered
Zoro:
He didn’t trust you...at all
He would go silent when you talked to him, giving you the silent treatment
He didn’t trust the marines...how was he supposed to know you weren’t there as a spy?
You tried to talk to him a couple times...but he just pretended he was sleeping
One day, he was up in the crow’s nest training and you walked in
“Mind if we spar? It’s been a while since I was able to.”
Since you left the marines
He huffed but gave a firm “sure”
He didn’t go easy on you, which surprised him when you handled yourself fairly well
You parried his attacks, and gave a few good jabs of your own
He respected your strength
He still won...but he expected to beat you within seconds
Not minutes, nearly half an hour of sparring
From then on, he’ll make small talk with you
Every once in a while he’ll go to take a nap and he’ll pull you down to lay beside him
He also sits next to you at the dinner table, even helping you fend off Luffy when he tries to steal your food
Overall...he respected strength. And if Luffy chose you...you were here to stay
Once he starts to trust you, he’ll protect you at all costs
Nami:
She trusts Luffy’s decision...but that doesn't mean she has to trust YOU
She won’t go out of her way to be mean...but she won’t help you if it means bending over backwards
She interrogates you, wanting to know why Luffy had chosen you
After days of interrogation on and off...she thinks she sees why
You were unhappy in the marines
Sure...you managed to become an admiral...but the happiness you had hoped to feel just wasn’t there
She discovered that in the short time you’ve been on this ship, you’ve felt happier than you ever did in the marines
She’ll be nicer after that, slowly building up her trust in you
“Want me to show you how I chart the islands we go to?”
Even if cartography wasn’t your thing, you figured it would help get you closer to Nami
After that, you would spend hours upon hours with Nami
She can be very...very protective
So once she trusts you, any comments about you that weren’t warranted she’d defend you
She wants to get closer to you, and spends the majority of her time with you
Either sitting on the deck or working on her maps
She even tells Sanji off if he starts to bother you, making the hearts in his eyes break
She’ll protect you...and she knows in her heart you’d protect her too
Usopp:
He is so...so scared of you at first
You were an ADMIRAL
How could you just give up that position to join a crew?
Doesn’t trust you for a good long while
He’s convinced you’re a spy
He lets his imagination get to him, and that drives a wedge between you two
You don’t blame him...the situation is sketchy, but you were genuine
You would spend all the time needed to get the crew to trust you
After only being with them a short period of time...you trusted them with your life
And that’s never happened before
In the marines...people wouldn’t go out of their way to save another if it meant getting hurt in the process
During battle, you stepped in front of Usopp and took a harsh blow, forming a long slash across your chest
After that...he’s significantly nicer to you
He visits you in the infirmary and looks...troubled
“What’s wrong Usopp?” You give him a concerned look
“Why?”
“Why what?”
“Why did you save me...you’re hurt now. Because of me.”
You smiled at him...so he did care
This was a good first step
Maybe eventually you can become even closer
Sanji:
He’s reluctant to trust you at first, but Luffy seems to see something in you…
Just like he saw something in him
So he tries to get closer to you, even going so far as to not flirt with you
Not until he got to know you better
The first time he really began to see the trust between you building was a regular day
Nothing particularly special about it, except you went into the kitchen while he was cooking
“Mind if I help?” It was your attempt to get closer to him
“Of course! Here, I need this mixed.”
You cooked together in relative silence, small talking every once in a while
Overall it was...nice
It was a bonding experience and he cherished it
That day, he sat next to you at the dinner table
You gave him a wide smile, which he returned
He would defend you to anyone who spoke ill of you after that
He could be quite protective, and it showed
Especially to Zoro, who made comments about your being a spy (which only made Usopp and Chopper panic more about the situation)
“Hey marimo! They don’t deserve the bullshit you’re throwing at them. Back off.”
“What are you gonna do about it, shitty cook?” A smirk formed on Zoro’s face
Oh dear...it looks like they’re fighting again
You went to speak up, but Nami stopped you
“They get like this sometimes. Though it’s impressive how quick Sanji was to take the bait this time...I think he likes you.” She gives you a wink and your face flushes
Who knows what the future will bring...all you know? Is that you made the right choice to join this crew
Chopper:
He wants to trust you...he really does
But the nagging fear of you hurting his crew is at the back of him mind
He avoids you, not wanting to risk getting hurt
Once you get injured in battle...he realizes how unfair it was that he did so
“I’m sorry y/n...you’re hurt. Please follow me to the infirmary.”
He keeps it relatively formal, only talking when he needed to do something to check on you
“Would you...come back in a couple days so I can check on the wound and how it’s healing?”
You gave him a smile “yes doctor! Thank you!”
“Hehe you don’t have to thank me I don’t deserve your thanks I was just doing what I’d do for any of our crew!” He swayed back and forth, his paws on his face as he smiled
You could swear you saw flowers around him…
After that, he invited you to play games with him, Usopp, and Luffy
While Usopp was still reluctant, Luffy was 100% on board
“Come on y/n! Play with us!” Chopper smiled up at you and...well...there’s no way you could say no to his adorable face
So you joined in
It was fun...more fun than you thought possible to have
You laughed as Chopper tagged you, and you spun around picking him up in a hug
“Chopper...thank you.”
He smiled and laughed, “for what? Tagging you?”
You shook your head, putting him down
“No...for being a good friend.”
And he was, he was your best friend. You grew closer to him in the days following and you were certain you made the right decision
Robin:
She knows what it’s like to not be trusted by the crew initially...but at least with her it was one pirate to another
You were a marine
And not just a marine...but an admiral
She is reluctant to trust you, but will give you the benefit of the doubt
She spends a lot of time with you, gauging if you’re a threat to her crew or not
She would sacrifice herself for any one of them...you’re no exception
She almost thinks its her JOB to determine if you’re a threat or not
It wasn’t until your first battle together that she finds she trusts you
You give her a look, and she knows to use her devil’s fruit
You both coordinate perfectly together, and it shows your trust
She has only battled so flawlessly with her crew...which means you’re entirely one of them now
She will defend you from that fight forward, and stands up for you when the others express their doubts
“Y/n? Would you like to read with me?” She pats the spot next to her and smiled at you
“Of course! What are we reading today?”
The two of you grow closer and closer, spending hours upon hours just...enjoying each other’s company
She looks at your smile and knows...she would do anything to keep that happy smile on your face
Franky:
He doesn’t trust you...but he doesn’t...NOT trust you
He’s reluctant to get close, but finds it’s really easy with you
He’s newer to the crew, but he trusts Luffy’s judgement
So he doesn’t have any reason not to give you a chance
He’ll spend time with you, requesting you sit in his workroom as he works on a specialized weapon for you
Over that time, you make a lot of small talk
It brings you closer together
“Y/n! What do you think?” He’ll say holding up your now finished weapon “Pretty super, right? Don’t you just love it?” He has a look of pride on his face that makes you grin
You take the weapon into your hands and feel the weight is perfect
Not light, but not overly heavy either
“Thank you Franky!” You jump up to hug him and miss seeing his face turn a dark crimson
“O-of course! Anything for a crewmate!” He hugs you back, lightly as if he’s afraid he’ll break you
This makes you laugh, “Franky...I was an admiral remember? I won’t break from a hug!”
“Well then...take this!” He lifts you up, spinning you around in circles
You both laugh, pulling each other closer and closer
Once he sets you down you see the fleeting color of pink on his cheeks
You were sure your face mirrored the same color
He knows in that moment he would protect you
Even if you didn’t need it
Maybe...protect isn’t the right word
It sounds so...one sided
“I’ll protect you...will you protect me?” He looks sheepish, almost as if he hated asking
You lean up and kiss his cheek
“I’ll protect you Franky. I’ll protect all of us...this crew...it’s special.”
He nods, knowing exactly what you meant
“Then we’ll protect each other.”
And it was settled
Brook:
As soon as you stepped onto the ship he approached you
“Your name is y/n...correct?”
“Yup! That’s me!”
He leaned down so your…”eyes” were level with each other
“Can I see your panties?”
SLAP
“...is that a no?”
It’s safe to assume...he doesn’t judge you for being an admirable
Though seeing some of the crew be distant from you...it only motivates him to speak to you more
You looked tired after playing with the crew on deck, so he approached you
“Would you like me to play you a song to help you sleep?”
You stared wide eyed, not knowing he was the musician on the ship
“Sure! Would you...maybe be able to teach me how to play an instrument?”
“Which instrument would you like to learn?”
You hummed, “I’m not sure. I’ll get back to you on that.”
And so he played you a song
It put not only you, but Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper to sleep
He would have grinned if he could, and looked over his crewmates with love
As he finished the song he looked at you once again
“Sleep well y/n...I’ll see you tomorrow.”
