#and Luffy would’ve really liked all of them too
Note
I'm up way later than I need to be and listening to music while I draw and this song gives me SUCH Sabo feelings and I would love to hear your opinions!! (Never Love An Anchor by The Crane Wives)
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Y07xArvIvjw&si=ffMbMHTWuHHnxY2C
You dare bring. The Crane Wives. Into this peaceful household.
Never Love an Anchor no less.
RELATING THE SONG TO THE BLORBO FROM MY SHOW NO LESS
The audacity.
Anyway.
youtube
Yeah it makes me think about how Sabo left Ace and Luffy on his own accord at the end. Of course it was a last resort but he left them because he knew that this was the only way for them all to be free.
He left knowing that he would probably not see him until they were 17. Or maybe even never again.
He left them so that they could be safe. Because as long as long as he was with him, as far as he could see, hands would still try to claim him, resulting in the ones he loves getting hurt.
There was no winning for Sabo or any of them. As long as he tried delaying the inevitable, it just never would have happened.
He had to give up what he loved so he could keep it.
And then after he regains his memories, him thinking how much he’s changed. His claws might hurt the one he loves so dearly, even though at this point he doesnt even know him anymore. What if when Luffy finds out that he was alive, it only hurts him deeper. Knowing that there was someone who would have made a difference that day wasnt there. Reliving not only that day in the moment of reuniting, but the say he lost Sabo, too.
I dont find it strange that Sabo didnt try to reunite with Luffy until dressrosa. And in fact i think that reuniting with luffy is something he did as an absolute last resort. I think he truly didnt want to meet him that day at all.
In the anime alone, it doesnt much show it, but in the manga and the Episode of Sabo his hesitance and nerves are really clear to me. He takes a second before he starts walking to talk to luffy. His hand is clutched and shaking. He walks as slowly as he can. And also he only does it after he knows that Luffy cant get the fruit.
They both need that fruit safe. An heirloom of their precious brother, the only thing they have left that can life on from him.
If Luffy could’ve finished that tournament, im fairly certain Sabo would’ve never revealed himself.
I think he feels like he might hurt luffy if he did, but i also think that he didnt feel he deserved it. To reunite with Luffy after all that time. After all that happened.
Going back to the song, the lyrics
“So, I did the only thing that i could And severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor.”
Even though it was Sabo who went sailing from the harbor, what he was doing was sever the rope from his connections with luffy and Ace so that they could grow and be free without worrying about being held back by him and the weight of his life keeping him suffocating at the bottom of the harbor he’s being drowned in.
If sabo had successfully left Goa that day, and he had reunited with Ace or Luffy somewhere down the line, i think he would act the same way he did in dressrosa that day. I think he would feel his baggage is too much, someone could be after him. And he wouldnt want to reunite. Especially after how he left them.
To me, that letter didnt read as a “i hope i see you again”, but a “goodbye forever”. Which i mean,,,, it was one, at least in Ace’s case, so … 🤷‍♀️ kill me
Anyway, the sentencing of your crimes of Crane Wives-ing me will be capital punishment, i hope you understand.
Thanks for the ask!

If Whitebeard had lived I like to think he and Luffy would have that Shanks and Marco thing where every time they interacted Whitebeard would ask Luffy to be his son and Luffy would giggle and stick out his tongue like the brat he is and go “No! Nope! No way!” And all the rumors would be about something stupid like how Whitebeard has been bitterly insulted by Straw Hat Luffy and it’s only a matter of time until the Straw Hats are assimilated or destroyed, meanwhile Luffy finally settles on “You aren’t my dad but I’ll call you Uncle!” And all the Whitebeards collectively tear up

congrats on 2k!! for the event, I was wondering for option one, with Sanji, zoro Luffy and laws reaction to their s/o covering their face with kisses, leaving lipstick marks?
Characters: gn reader x Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, Law Total word count: 730
Lipstick Stains
Sanji
Oh you already know this man is inches within his life. Nothing gets him so weak in the knees like physical touch and affection. 
He relishes in your kisses during the moment, letting you go on as long as you want. You can never give him too many kisses, really. 
After the fact, any time he passes by a mirror, he stops to admire your love and your handiwork. He just stares at all the marks you left on him for a few minutes, his hands lightly passing over each one. 
Some of the crewmates (Zoro and Usopp) make fun of him, but he just smirks and says “What, boys? Jealous?”
He struggles to wash it off. He’s a very clean person, but he hates to wash his face after you’ve marked it all up. You can very often find light traces of your lipstick still across his face the next day because he scrubbed so gently while bathing. 
Zoro
Whenever you cover his face with kisses, Zoro…tolerates it. He doesn’t love it, but he doesn’t hate it either. 
Unfortunately for him, he doesn’t look at himself in the mirror much, so he doesn’t notice the red-stained marks you had left all over his face in the process. 
A few things tipped him off when he went down to dinner, though. Sanji is stifling a laugh at him, which isn’t uncommon. But Robin is also giving him a cheeky grin. Usopp and Luffy are both looking anywhere but at him, trying not to burst into laughter. 
And you…your cheeks are flushed red with embarrassment. He rushes to the bathroom and looks at himself in horror. It took him a minute to realize exactly what was all over his face, and he let out a small string of curses as he grabbed a towel and desperately scrubbed at them. 
He comes back to dinner, his face beet red (from embarrassment and excessive scrubbing), and sits down next to you, pretending like nothing happened. 
After that, he always ALWAYS checks himself in the mirror after you come visit him. 
Luffy
Luffy loves to battle with you on who can give the other person more kisses. Everything is always a game with him. 
He wears your kisses around without even knowing it for a while, until Nami says something about it. 
At her words, he rushes to the mirror and looks, admiring his face and all the proof of your love. He’s kind of jealous that you can mark your kisses so easily. 
That’s when he gets an idea. The next time you two have a kissing war, he offers to put on lipstick as well, that way you can tell for sure who won. 
And that way, you get to see proof of his love too. 
The two of you parade around the ship with your faces covered in shades of red and pink, showing off your new designs and laughing the entire time. 
Law
Law is not a man who enjoys physical touch. But if you’re alone…he’ll allow it. Sometimes, he might even enjoy it. 
Especially if he’s in his study and you come in and curl up in his lap, softly kissing his face to try and get him to come to bed. You can be very persuasive. 
“Go on to bed,” he finally says, shutting his book. “I’m going to get some water and I’ll be in a minute.”
He doesn’t pass by a mirror, or else he would’ve noticed the new addition. Instead, Shachi, Penguin, and Bepo see it as he grabs water from the kitchen. 
“Love the new look, Captain!” Shachi teases, a mischievous smile plastered on his face. “You should keep it like that!”
Law reaches up to inspect his cheeks, but he can’t feel anything. He looks at Bepo, confused. 
“It’s kind of…everywhere,” Bepo says, trying his best not to crack a smile. 
Law quickly rushes to a mirror and finds his face covered in lip marks. He races out of the room without another word and back to you. 
“Y/N,” he says, trying not to get angry. “Next time, please inform me when you’ve…redecorated.”
You giggle and pull him into bed, adding another kiss mark to his forehead. Scrubbing it all off can be a problem for tomorrow.

“Mon dieu…”
The breathless whimper that left Sanji would’ve been inaudible, had they not been greedily soaking up every single noise that escaped his kiss-swollen lips. Pulling back just half an inch, they looked at him through their eyelashes, trembling with effort and loaded emotions as they did.
He looked perfectly ravished, with hooded eyes and mussed tresses of blonde hair. The faint dusting of freckles of his was almost invisible underneath the blush on his flaming cheeks. His glossy lips were parted, breathing out heavy puffs of air as his chest heaved with the exertion. It was true that he always made it a point to say just how badly they’d ruined him, but seeing the results of said ruination always had pleasure shooting down their spine.
Maybe he’d gotten a little greedier over time, because now his hands were desperately clinging to the fat of their hips, tugging them even closer to him. “Easy there,” they languidly chuckled against his mouth, a sound he quickly swallowed into another open-mouthed kiss, kneading their soft skin as he did. Their teasing was all for naught, as they both knew that more was what they truly wanted.
Time was a concept lost to them. After all, this had all started when Sanji had called them to the aquarium bar, with the excuse of wanting them to taste-test a new mocktail he’d made while staying up at night. Since it was alcohol-free, they couldn’t really blame their impulsiveness on intoxication. In fact, even the mocktail was mostly untouched on the countertop, long-forgotten.
But really, were either of them surprised? When it came to their little midnight rendezvous, they never knew if it was going to be ten minutes or a few hours lost in each other’s eyes and entwined with each other’s bodies. Sanji was all lithe muscle and sharp edges and rough stubble, but he somehow carried all the world’s softness and warmth in him. It was no wonder they could barely think of anything else when tangled together.
His tongue was warm sliding against theirs, and his chest was solid underneath their palms. The lingering scent of cigarettes, musky perfume, and expensive aftershave chased after him. Every kiss felt like it would consume them whole; burn them alive down to the tips of their fingers and burrow deep into their chest. Every time their mouths met in a searing chase, he’d push up into their core, their back arching a little despite themself.
It took all the mental fortitude and strength they had to pull away with a gasp, earning a groan from Sanji who looked desperate enough to keen. “You’re cruel,” he somehow managed to whine out, “Mon amour, I’ve not yet had my fill of you—“
Pressing a single index finger to his lips was all it took to silence him. Perhaps as a sort of punishment, they even leaned in to nip at his jutted lower lip, teasing his pout. “Just a second,” they promised him, clambering off his lap before he could protest too much. “I promise I have a surprise for you.”
Smothering a laugh behind their hand knowing the disheveled state they’d left him in, clothes all messed up and so clearly aching for them that he couldn’t even bother to adjust himself, they pranced away to their room to get the box they’d hidden in their set of drawers.
It had been a hassle hiding it from any possible interlopers. After all, you never knew when Nami was about to sell off half their possessions for more cash, or if Luffy was feeling particularly curious that day and wondered if it would sink in the ocean, consequently jumping after it and nearly drowning.
At the very least, they were glad that they had the chance to get back to their sweet man, a forlorn look on his flushed face from having waited for them (what was, in his opinion) for too long. That needy expression of his could melt them with uncontrollable need. They just wish he’d never ever come to know that, or else he’d become insufferable.
Settled back in his lap, Sanji was all too eager to have them ontop of him, a curious look now on his face. “What’ve you got behind your back, my love?”
“A little gift,” they vaguely said, before thinking for a few moments. “You know how you like to wear rings?”
“Not when I’m cooking, but generally speaking, yes.” He hummed, eyes lighting up as he tried to take a peek behind them. “Oh, you really shouldn’t have, ma chéri—“
Interrupting his little rant with a kiss, that shut him up enough for them to wag a finger at him. “I’m not finished yet, you impatient man.” At that, they shifted a little in his lap. “I’d noticed that you always kept your ring finger bare. Knowing you as well as I believe I do, I think I know why that is.” Carefully, as steadily as they could manage, they pulled that small box from behind their back, popping it open with one hand while the other rested over his shirt. “But would you consider changing that now?”
A choked gasp left Sanji’s parted lips, and his eyes had turned large and glassy. The sparkling ring set into the velvet was not just impossibly gorgeous, but looked ludicrously expensive as well. He was certainly taken aback, though they hoped that it was because of him having not seen this somewhat-impromptu proposal coming, and not as a precedent to being rejected.
All that he could do was stumble over his words, his thoughts getting all jumbled up and his heart pounding furiously against their palm. “Is this… are you asking me to—?”
“Marry me, Sanji, yes.” Their laugh came out a little strained, nerves finally getting to them a little. “If you’ll have me.”
“You say this as if I’m not currently and always painfully wanting you,” he breathed out, briefly closing his eyes, before tugging them into his chest. Collapsing against him, they pretended not to know the reason why he’d hid his face into their neck, and pretended not to notice his half-sniffles. “Yes. Fuck, of course, yes.”
“That’s settled then,” they quietly said, surprised to find a lump in their throat themself. All they could do was just squeeze him back twice as tightly, their hands patting his back fondly as the embrace filled every single nook and cranny in their heart with love.
And if they happened to waste a few more hours holding each other so tight lest they break, locking the door to the aquarium bar behind them as they shared tender touches and pleasured sighs that were lost to the quiet night, then no one was to blame.

Keep my Hand in Yours
Sanji x gn! Reader
wc: 1k
Warnings: angst, post wci, wci spoilers(obvs) angst with a happy ending.
You’re angry at Sanji after what happened, so angry, and maybe that makes you selfish. You don’t care.
Tumblr media
You shouldn’t be angry at Sanji, this you know. You shouldn’t be avoiding him, shouldn’t be refusing to eat the meals he’s cooked or refusing to be in the same room with him, but you are. You are pissed at him, you don’t want to speak to him, you don’t care if he left to protect the crew.
He still left. And maybe that makes you selfish, but you don’t care. You had to sit there and watch as he yelled and fought with Luffy, as he was driven in a way in a carriage by a family you didn’t even know he had, to marry someone else.
You know that Sanji knows you’re angry, if the space he’s giving you is any implication. He doesn’t beg or plead, doesn’t corner you in the kitchen, demanding that you speak to him. The most he’s done is look at you, blue eyes impossibly sorrowful, remorseful, their own silent apology. It’s not enough.
It only takes a week for Zoro to corner you instead. “This is getting ridiculous.”
“What is?” You ask as you sweep the deck.
“You and Curly, fighting.”
“We’re not fighting.”
“Not talking, then.”
“What’s it matter to you? You don’t even like Sanji.”
He groans. “Just talk to him. His sulking is getting on my damn nerves and making the food taste bad.”
“Fine.” You snap, annoyed.
You watch as he walks away, practically steaming. To be honest, you didn’t think the swordsman, out of all crew members, would be the first one to say something. You suppose that’s how you know it's really bothering everyone.
***
You enter the kitchen for the first time in nearly two weeks and lean against the counter. Sanji is washing the dishes, but he knows you’re there, can tell by the way he tenses up.
“Just give me one moment.” He says to you, voice even and gentle, barely even a whisper.
You wait, bouncing your leg, trying not to let your nerves show too much.
The water shuts off and then it’s just you and him in the late night darkness of the kitchen.
“I don’t know how easy it’ll be to forgive you.” You tell him, eyes downcast.
“I understand.”
You close your eyes, taking a deep breath, annoyed. “I don’t think you do.”
He’s annoyed now too. Sad on top of it all. “Then help me understand.”
“I would’ve waited right alongside Luffy,” you tell him, the anger and hurt making the words sound like venom, but they’re true, “I would’ve stood right there, waiting for you to come back to me. How am I supposed to just forgive you?”
Sanji’s face breaks then, a sob leaving his body as if it’s been torn out of his chest and he falls to his knees, hands gripping your pants tightly as he whispers an apology over and over, a relentless heartbroken echo. You can feel the tears absorb into the fabric.
You know he is. God, you know he is. The tears fall freely from your face as you collapse, too.
He draws you into his chest, burying his tear stained face into your hair. “I couldn’t bear to see you hurt, I know you don’t want to hear it, but it’s true. You’re everything to me.”
“And you’re everything to me. What was I going to do if you had died, like they had planned, or if you had decided that your bride was enough to make you forget about me? Forget about the crew?”
He takes your face in his hands almost immediately, his blue eyes dark in the moonlight, but you can still see the panicked desperation in them. “Never. I’d never forget about you.”
“She was in love with you.”
“I don’t care. I don’t care about any of it. Out of all the crew members, you were the one they had used against me the most. I don’t care what I had to do to keep you safe, I was going to do whatever they wanted.”
“You know what I’m going to say, Sanji.”
He pulls you closer. “I know. I can’t promise that I won’t try to sacrifice myself for you anymore. Any of you.”
“I can’t promise that I’ll forgive you right away each time.”
Sanji kisses your fingers. “Just….I need you to talk to me when you’re angry, even if all you do is tell me you’re upset. I can’t do this again.”
You kiss him on the cheek, just once. Softly, like it didn’t even happen. “Of course. Whatever you want me to do.”
“Are you still angry with me?” He’s smiling softly though, like he already knows the answer and doesn’t care.
“Pissed beyond belief.” You tell him, but you know that it’s still the leftover fear. The fear that you almost did lose him, that him riding away in the carriage could’ve been the last time you ever saw him.
“That’s alright,” he kisses your head and then stands, “are you hungry?”
You nod. “Starving, actually. The sandwiches I’ve been making can’t compare to your cooking after all.”
“I’d eat whatever you made,” he tells you, “even if it was disgusting and gave me food poisoning.”
You laugh, wrapping your arms around him. “I love you.”
“I love you too. Now, no distracting the cook. Go sit at the table and look pretty.”
You roll your eyes but do as he says. As you watch him cook from your place at the table, you know that there are going to be times when he thinks he knows what you need; thinks he knows about what’s best for you. You know it’ll lead to someone getting hurt or an argument, or whatever else happens in the aftermath, but you also know that you’re prepared to make it better, that you’d rather have him to argue with then you would rather have a body to bury and a eulogy to read out.
He walks towards you, putting a bowl of soup, reheated on the stove, in front of you, before you grab him by the hips and pull him into a simple kiss. When he pulls away, he sits next to you, holding your non-dominant hand. You don’t dare let go

☆♪Ace x childhood best friend reader (who he has a crush on)☆♪
Tumblr media
I’m trying to make my titles more appealing and fun to look at hopefully it’s working~!
(still not bothering with aesthetics this is something i personally wanna do)
For the record these are gender neutral so no worries
How y’all met? I’m not gonna go into specifics but you likely went into his territory
unless you met on one of his trips to the city for food n such
those three brothers are close and two didn’t trust easily back then
But once you make it in they’re circle there’s no backing down
from then on you always go to play with them and go on adventures together
they decided to keep you as a friend rather than a sibling
(back to present)~
ace honestly loves you because you accepted him, your cool, your (likely) strong whether that’s mentally or physically and most of all you’ve stuck by his side all this time
even him and luffy went they’re separate ways to become pirates
but you? You two met and have never separated since
you’ve literally kept your promise not to leave unlike no other
your always there
finally he has someone in his corner
and someone as cool as you?? How could he not fall in love 😍😍
Really he figured it out while just spacing out one day real early
like early enough to see the sunrise
he was just staring off, scouting just in case, although his mind was mostly on you
he laughed to himself thinking about memories of you two
and even more so that your still here
he noticed how nervous he now was to talk to you when you got up
he had a funny feeling in his stomach, his hands/breathing was jittery and he kept running his hand through his hair, trying to fight a smile
he was so incredibly nervous yet excited to see you!!
but why?! Today’s an ordinary day!
what is he some kind of love sick puppy?!…
lovesick?
LOVE???
WAIT WHAT THE CRAP HE NEVER CONSIDERED THAT!!
wait….no way, right?? He’s in love??
bro WHAT?! HE’S IN LOVE??
he’s..in love with (name)
wow…all this time he never even thought of that
NOW HE REALIZES HOW FLIRTY HE’S BEEN WITH YOU?!
it wasn’t even intentional!!
and now that he realizes it…….he always has the funny feeling every time he talks to you!
and his heart spikes when you call him!
bro…..wow.
*sits there in realization for the next hour*
how he acts when he has a crush:
Honestly he’s just trying to impress you and make you happy in every way
he acts chivalrous, paying for all the diners you stop at, opening doors, pulling out chairs, reminding you of things, grabbing your coat, doing you favors (ones you didn’t ask for but appreciate)
yes this is all very cliche and cheesy but you can’t go wrong with that right??
I mean…does it look like he knows how to love?! 😀
he never met either of his parents!! 😬🤦‍♀️
bro is trying his best okay?? 🤷‍♀️
he playfully shows off
he does it in a way that’s not annoying too, it doesn’t feel like he’s bragging when he does it
”hurrrr look at my big musclessss! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ”
LOLLL
he does it in a way that makes you laugh so it seems more like a joke
he gets you meaningful trinkets and stuff he remembers you like/said your wanted
when you two join the WBP
he also asks Marco and Izo for advice on how to act around you (just act normal bro)
as well as whitebeard!!
Thatch too
he rambled to literally everyone except you about you
then he has to beg and do favors for them not to tell you all the cheesy/embarrassing things he says
goodness Ace 🤦‍♀️
he goes around like a love sick puppy for a few weeks ranting about you and celebrating about becoming a man (😂💗)
but then when Marco asks when he’s gonna ask you out….
Ace FREAKS out.
like he literally forgot about that part-
IS IT TOO LATE?! DID YOU ALREADY FIND ANOTHER MAN??-
wait you two are childhood best friends you would’ve told him 🤨
oh.
okay well great!-
now……how does he confess?����‍♀️
seriously he doesn’t know how. He doesn’t know what to say, do or give you
OR where to do it OR when OR if he’s even good enough OR if you won’t like him..
WAIT WHAT IF HE’S NOT A GOOD ENOUGH BOYFRIEND?!
wait..WHAT IF YOU DON’T LOVE HIM BACK⁉️
He’s feels like giving up already😞
theres so many women/men in the world why would you want some lost parentless pirate who questions his existence…
now when he goes to Marco and says all that he just laughs at him and calls him emo 😊
no but in all seriousness he brings Ace back to his senses and reminds him about what if you DO love him back 😏
😮🤩🤩
he forgot all about that!- (😀)
WAIT WHAT IF YOU DO LIKE HIM BACK!!
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!
him and Marco run to find izo and have a bro meeting immediately
which happens and the three immediately start planning the confession >:3
they put they’re heads together to conjure something they know you’d like but doesn’t seem too sappy
his confession !! 🤩
the next time the ship stops at an island he takes you to a calm beach area where you relax and have some fun all day
your nakama are around but it mostly just seem like the world is just you and Ace right now
midday is when Ace strikes!
this was izo’s idea
no! it’s not because if he had to wait the next day to interact with you as his girlfriend he wouldn’t get any sleep >:(
Ace brought the topic to your childhood past together as you ate lunch and at some point you didn’t notice he transitioned to how he feels about you and how much he cares about you and that it would be everything to him if you became his girlfriend.
now it’s your turn to ‘WAIT WHAT’ :)
that was so smooth!
you didn’t even notice he was trying to confess until the end!
Wow did that surprise you!
at least your muscles were still working so that you could nod your head because you certainly didn’t know what to say!
____________「what do you say?」____________
____________Yes. No.____________ ________________________ (mini bonus): if you aspired to be a pirate, simply don’t mind or would like to support his dream, you joined the spade pirates! (Which obviously gets consumed into the whitebeard pirates, but hey your captain made the decision so you don’t mind). If your strong he’ll make you vice captain since your his first ever nakama. <3 otherwise you might be the navigator, medic or something else your good at! Likely not something that puts you in immediate danger though. He worries about the ones he loves leaving him too much for that.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED LOVLIES !! 🦋🦋
I need to write about ace more but I also needs get past the impel down arc but I also don’t (spoiler) wanna watch his death but I also wanna see more of his backstory and finish one piece and- 。.:*。.:*💥 _:(´o`」 ∠): …… d( ̄  ̄) - I’m good

Could you do a platonic crew with a reader who has a devilfruit that gives them similar abilities to deadpool (aka any injury regenerates)- but unlike deadpool they can die if they gain enough damage, but the reader doesn’t realise/accept this and constantly risks their life for the crew cause they think they’ll be okay?
Yandere Straw Hats x GN!Reader
1.2k words
Warning for descriptions of serious injuries
Tumblr media
“Dammit, let me out!”
You yank on the infirmary door again despite knowing what a waste of time it was. With an aggravated huff, you turn around and shamble back to the bed. Your body was in agony from the wounds you took on today. Even though your devil fruit was working hard to fix it, this would take time to fully heal and stop hurting. It’s probably best to lay down for a bit, you just wish you could do so in your own bed.
They’re all over reacting, and they know it. You’re borderline immortal, and sure, you cut it a little close this time, but you were fine now! The battle was over, it’s not like you’re in any danger. 
You’re aware that your devil fruit can be unsettling at times, it’s unnatural to see someone recover from what would be a mortal wound for anyone else. Even Chopper couldn’t help but look disturbed when they found you after you threw yourself over a bomb. The explosion mostly damaged your legs, even taking one off entirely. 
The worst part though was the piece of shrapnel that shot up and cut open your abdomen. If it weren’t for you manually holding the wound shut, your organs would’ve all spilled out onto the ground.
Chopper had given you some painkillers to hold you over until you finished healing, but they can only do so much against something this severe. You roll onto your side to grab the water from the bedside table, but an intense pain shoots through you, making you drop it on the ground.
The glass shatters on impact, and you drop your head back onto your pillow with a groan. As you attempt to slip out of the bed again to pick up the broken glass, the door is thrown open and Chopper rushes in, “I heard something break! What hap- Get back in the bed!”
He ran over to you and shooed you back into lying down, “You’re too hurt to be moving around like this!” 
“I’m already mostly healed, it’s not like I’m going to die,” you grumbled, annoyed that you even have to state this. Everyone on board is well aware of how your powers work.
“YOU DON’T KNOW THAT!” Chopper stopped picking up glass and snapped his head towards you. Tears were pouring down his face, but he forced himself to speak through them, “Y-You won’t know what is going to be enough to kill you until it’s too late!”
Now you just felt bad. You care about your crew, and making them cry is not something you ever want to do. Even if you have done so multiple times. Awkwardly, you reach out to put your hand on his shoulder, “Look, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you.”
Chopper aggressively rubs at his eyes and sniffles loudly, “You n-need to stop d-doing this! I hate it, everyone hates it! We’re all-”
“Chopper.”
Both of you snap your attention to the door, where Luffy is standing. His hat is obscuring his eyes, but you can feel them on you regardless. What’s worse, he’s openly frowning. That’s never a good sign, especially not after you’ve landed yourself back in the infirmary.
The ship’s doctor walked out without another word, closing the door behind him. Now it’s just you and Luffy. He’s eerily silent as he approaches your bed and takes a seat at the foot of it. You can already guess where this is going. He’s going to tell you to stop acting like you’re the only one who can protect everyone else and to let others help. 
You’ve had this conversation with him many times. It’s not like you were intentionally trying to go against his words, you wanted to heed his orders and be a good crewmate, really! It’s just that whenever you are in the heat of the moment, you instinctively put yourself in harm’s way. You could take damage better than anyone, what else were you supposed to do?
“You’re done.”
Your blood ran cold in your veins, “Excuse me?”
“I said you’re done, we’re not letting you do this again,” Luffy stated plainly, like it was the most obvious conclusion to come to. 
You attempt to sit up, but the pain that shoots through you brings that to a halt. “What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are you kicking me out?” You ground out.
“I never said that. You’re just done fighting, that’s it,” Luffy finally lifted his head enough for you to make eye contact with him, and you wish he hadn’t. The look in his eyes is so intense that your argument died on your tongue. “Is that understood?”
“Wha… What else am I-”
Luffy’s hand clamped over your mouth, you see anger flicker across his face as he grinds his teeth together, “Don’t argue with me! I’m sick of you never listening! I’m your captain, if I say you’re done, then you’re done!” His voice raises in volume with every word until he’s practically screaming at you.
Tears drip onto your face as he looms above you, hiccupping as his own sorrow overcomes him. “Why do you keep doing this? Why do you act like you’re going to survive no matter what? You almost died!” He abruptly lets go of your mouth and collapses on top of your body, clutching onto you like you’ll disappear if he doesn’t. His hat tumbles off his head and onto the bed beside you.
His weight feels uncomfortable on your recovering injuries, but you don’t say anything. Lightly, you bring a hand up to his head to gently run your fingers through his hair. This action only makes him hold you closer as his cries get louder.
You’re torn. As much as you want to be upset about his previous words to you, it’s impossible to act on those emotions when he’s sobbing on top of you. Your near death clearly bothered him more than you had realized. Were you really in the wrong for acting the way you did? If what you were doing was so great, why was it hurting all your friends so badly?
“I’m sorry,” you croak out as your own eyes start to tear up.
Luffy doesn’t answer. You’re not sure he even heard you over his crying. You can faintly hear hushed words being spoken outside the infirmary door, but there’s nothing you can do right now to hear it better. Your crewmates are no doubt discussing what to do with you now that Luffy was seemingly dead set on not letting you onto a battlefield again.
Hopefully, this was all said because he lost control of his emotions, and when he calms down he’ll change his mind. That had to be the case. I mean really, it’s not like you could just sit back and do nothing while everyone else risked life and limb. You’ll be more careful from now on, for real this time. You’ll take their feelings into consideration before acting so recklessly. It won’t happen again.
Although… it’s unclear if that’s because you’re going to change your ways, or if they are going to make you whether you want to or not.

Hey hey, am back again (the one who requested the movie headcanons)
I do have another request but I just got to say your impressive as hell. I had put in the other request just a day before it was made. Which is just crazy and the fact the headcanons were so accurate and good. Thank you for doing the last request once again.
Ok now I will get to my request now, just had to give that recognition 😅
I was wondering if you can please do, what it’s like to spread a morning with luffy, sanji, nami, and robin. How it would be like to wake up with them and get ready for the day with them. Stuff like that.
Thank you if you take this request, I hope you have a good morning 🫶🏾
Tumblr media
hey hey! welcome back! thanks for the compliment, i'm glad you enjoyed it and found it accurate!
forethoughts: i can't believe i hit 100+ notes one of my post 🥹. thank you all so much for reading my stuff even though it occasionally breaks your hearts! ahhhh. also gonna use this space to have an fyi for people who request(ed) me. i just finished eneis lobby!!! if you request something that's way after eneis lobby, i'm either gonna have to wing it (aka poorly write bc i lack context and i don't wanna google bc google = spoiler), or you have to wait patiently for me to reach that arc. sorry for any inconvenience! anyways back to the matter at hand.

Luffy always sleeps whenever his body tells him to, so it’s not odd for him to suddenly disappear next to you while you two slept together. But ever since you two had gotten together, he would always make sure that he was by your side whenever you woke up. The moment your eyes open and consciousness rolls in, you feel a heavy weight on your body. Luffy’s fast asleep on you, his head bruised-no doubt from Sanji trying to steal food. You smile softly at him, petting his hair as you roll him over to his side of the bed, placing a kiss on his bruise as you look at him, admiring his peaceful sleeping form. Whenever you’re asleep, he’s awake. Whenever you’re awake, he’s asleep. You found this annoying, but seeing his sleepy baby face always washed your annoyance away. You would proceed with your morning routine as it is, and usually by the time you’re done, Luffy would’ve awoken, and smother you with kisses and whine about Sanji. Additionally, because now that you were with him and sleep with him (every now and then) at night, his hygiene significantly improved, so now he wasn’t always sweaty and covered in dirt!
Sanji is a gentleman, so of course he lets you steal the blanket at night, letting you snuggle up against him. Sometimes when you wake up, he’s not by your side, as he has to start preparing food for everyone, but you would always find a handwritten note and your favorite breakfast right next to you, as well as a rose in a vase on your nightstand. This was life with Sanji; he always had to be up at 5am, ready to cook every meal, while you always slept in. He’ll always make it up to you by giving you the best night, as he can never really give you the best morning, even though he tries his best. 
Nami loves to either big spoon or little spoon you. Either way, she craves the physical intimacy she can generate with you. She expects to either be treated like a princess one day, or absolutely spoil you with kisses the moment you wake up, and help you shower, get changed, etc. You cannot change my mind about the fact that Nami is a pillow princess, and will steal the blanket if she’s cold. You don’t mind it; in fact you're already used to this behavior, but you love it anyway, and she loves you for indulging her. Once she wakes up, she’ll kiss you on your lips, whispering a good morning as she snuggles with you. Once you’re awake too, the two of you get ready for the day. Nami spends majority of her time on makeup and clothing, while you simply shower and pick something nice to wear. Ever since you started dating Nami, you found yourself sitting down on a stool, Nami’s hand deep into your scalp trying to ‘fix your hair’, while making you look the most attractive person in the world (to her you already were).
Similar to Nami, both you and Robin will always wake up at around the same time, to say good morning to each other and be the first thing you see once you wake up. In the beginning of your relationship, she isn’t too keen on snuggling/cuddling due to her trauma and the hardship of opening up to others, but after a while of being with you, she’ll let you cuddle her and she grows to love it too. She always smells like fresh paper or flowers, a scent you’ve grown to love. Robin usually wakes up before you, and loves seeing your sleepy face buried in her chest. She’ll plant a soft kiss on your forehead, whispering ‘good morning’ to you. Soon enough, you’ll wake up, and whisper a ‘good morning’ to you. The two of you stay in bed slowly waking up, talking about your dreams and your sleep, then about what you were going to do/plan to do for the day. Robin loved talking to you and helping you achieve your goals, as nothing makes her more happy than to see you succeed. Everyday, she’d check in on you to see if you had completed your task you said you would in the morning, and always reward you with a special night. Ending your discussion with a kiss, the two of you get out of bed, ready to accomplish what both of you set out to do today.

“How did you do that?” you ask, almost horrified at the sight.
Your boyfriend has always been average in length down there, five inches, slim, but he knew just the way to work his cock into you until you were a babbling mess for him.
Still, when he heard his crewmates talking about how girls always like them bigger, he got a little curious. He wasn’t insecure or anything, he knew he didn’t need to be bigger to make you cum like he always did, but he still wondered how you would react if he were bigger.
That’s why tonight, he took advantage of his devil fruit, and watched the blood rush into your cheeks when he stretched from his usual length to almost eight inches. Now it has a slight curve upwards, and his tip is dripping precum from just the thought of all the sounds he could force out of you.
Nevermind the question, now his hand is on your thigh, caressing it softly while trying to pry your legs apart.
You squirm, unsure if you were really ready for something so… big.
It doesn’t matter now that he’s got you spread out like this, your cunt practically oozing at the sight of his half lidded eyes watching you. He’s shifting closer to you, and you feel the warmth of his heavy cock when he slides it between your folds, occasionally rubbing the tip against your clit and watching the pretty face you make when he takes you by surprise and your breath gets caught in your throat.
“Wait… Luffy!” you cry when you feel his hot tip positioned at your entrance. “I-it’s not going to fit!”
Instead of looking even a little bit concerned, he chuckles at you.
“Don’t worry, it will…” he says, and with that, he slides in the tip, quickly followed by the rest of his length.
“Luffy-!” you whine his name, not sure if it’s in pain or pleasure. He’s reaching deeper than he’s ever been before, abusing spots you didn’t even know existed, but it feels so good.
“See, I knew you’d like it!” he says, quickening the pace of his cock and grinning at your expression, your mouth agape and your eyes looking down to where you two meet, your pussy greedily swallowing every agonizingly big inch of his cock. “You’re creaming around me, do you really like it that much?”
“Yes! I l-love it, love your cock!” you say, too enthralled in the way he's throbbing when he repeatedly hits g-spot to care about the embarrassing gush of your cunt around him.
If he knew you were going to react this way, he would’ve done this sooner, because now he wants to see how many times he can make you cum and go stupid on his cock when it’s this big.

LUFFY WANTS TO FLY A KITE AU QnA!!! Thank you for supporting my mini comic, as a ty I compiled a bunch of questions below.!
it’s a long one, so beware!
Q (Anonymous): What inspired you to write this comic? Outside the horrors what are you trying to tell?
A: Inspiration would probably be the frequent hallucinations I have and my longing to go back in the fields... I miss my cows 😭 As for the story i’m trying to tell.. It’s a bit hard to explain without spoiling the story….
Q: (@oddity-txt): For your kite au- what do ace and sabo see when they look at luffy?
A: Clearly something that isn't Luffy, but it looks like Luffy
Q: (Anonymous): Since Vivi is introduced would she play a key role or would she appear for like just a few parts, would she have a blog like Sabo?
A: She's important to the story!! She's child of the pastor in this au-- Sabo and Ace used to be Altar servers for his church so they have history of working with her before... As for a blog.. No not really. Though if you look close enough you'll find that you can contact Vivi just before the events of the story to pry information.. But unfortunately whatever happens to her is set in stone •ᴗ• Q: (@washingmachineonfir ): Can you elaborate in religion topic in the city? About the house, why its like this? How many kids disappear?
A: The religion in ASL's neighborhood is simple, you know it already. Now about the house? You don't wanna know. As for the kids... hm.. Depends on how many kids can fill a school bus Q: (@courtroomac3): Hi
A: Get outta here boy Q: White boy Flavor of the month...
A: idk Q: (@humoofsegsual) Is there a possible ending in which everyone dies?
A: nods nods, when that happens everything disappears . Don't forget to say goodbye before it happens!!!! Q: (@plastirk): What kinds of trigger warnings are we gonna see?
A: everything in this list
Q: (Anonymous): Why does Nika go after Ace and Sabo?
A: Because Luffy wants to be with them . But Nika doesn’t want to let go of Luffy.
Q: (Anonymous): Does Nika hate Ace and Sabo?? all their interactions with them are with malice 😭
A: I wouldn’t say malice I suppose… I’d say maybe frustration?
Q: (Anonymous): Where are other characters in this? Like Garp, Dragon, and etc
A: They’re living their normal lives somewhere else!! Koby and Helmeppo are employees at the store Sabo often goes to. Vivi is a librarian, her father is a priest in the town’s church, she met Ace and Sabo a lot because they were altar servers back then! Law is one of the brothers’ neighbors, he frequently leaves though. (Copy pasted from my discord)
Q: (Anonymous): Is it true that one of the brothers might die ☹️
A: . Yes! Im cheering for their downfall! but you guys aren’t 😞
Q: (Anonymous): Are ASL biologically related here?
A: …No
Q: (Anonymous): What does the kite have to do with this au?
A: It’s something Luffy owns!!!! Don’t worry about it too much ;]
Q: (Anonymous): Is there a symbolism with the ghost costume? It makes me wonder what was it for other than to scare A and S
A: It’s by far the biggest hint in the first part 😵‍💫 I wonder if anyone caught it at first
Q: (Anonymous): Are Luffy’s friends going to appear? (Zoro, Nami, Sanji, and Ussop?)
A: mhm! You’ll see one or two of them sooner or later
Q: (Anonymous): What wouldve happened if we chose the other option in the first two parts?
A: The first poll would’ve decided on who runs the ‘blog’ ^w^!!
the one who wasn’t pick was cursed to run a tumblr blog lmao
Last Question:
Q: (Anonymous): Why are Luffy’s friends here if Nika just wanted him?
A: Luffy treasures his friends.!!
Bonus:
Q: (Anonymous): Will Detective Chopper have the same horror elements as the Kite au?
A: Yeah, but I suppose it’s more drama oriented

date gone wrong ; asl
Tumblr media Tumblr media
↻ fluff, chaotic brothers, law kinda ooc, sabo being overprotective, ace being extra, luffy is emotionally intelligent, modern au, grammatical errors
↻ pairing ↬ asl x (platonic) fem!reader! x law
anonymous asked: Hello!! I'd like to ask if I could ask you for a modern!au where the reader as Asl's little sister dating Law (I'm sorry, I just really love this emo doctor hehe) and spends time with him and they follow them to watch their date! if you don't like it, please just ignore it). thank you in advance!!
a/n i really love all these asl requests 😭
the sun was high in the sky. it was the perfect day for a date with your beloved boyfriend. you gave yourself a quick touch up before leaving the house with a huge grin on your face. as usual, he looks at you with the same blank expression.
if it wasn’t for the light pink that tinted his cheeks, you would’ve thought he doesn’t actually love you. “ace, sabo, luffy! i’m going out!” you notified them before closing the door.
“sabo,” ace spoke in a serious tone, giving sabo the ‘look’. the blond nodded as a response while luffy looked at the two of them in confusion. “huh? am i missing something?” he tilted his head.
.
law had been such a gentleman throughout your date. although he doesn’t show it, you knew that he was enjoying the date too. unknown to you though…
ace, sabo and luffy sat in the coffee shop across the ones that you were in. sabo acted naturally, ordering a drink for him while enjoying it as if he wasn’t stalking his sister’s date. “luffy, what do you know about him?” sabo asked in a quiet tone.
even though the two of you had been dating for a few years now, you had only made known about your relationship to your brothers a few months ago.
“tra-guy is really smart. he helped me with math but he always calls me stupid,” luffy laughed.
sabo’s gaze only hardened. “smart, huh… but not smart enough to stay away from our sister,” he frowned, crossing his arms together as his eyes met with ace. “should we keep moving?” ace asked in a secrecy tone. sabo nodded.
.
the two of you moved to your next dating spot. law had promised you last week that he would be the one to do the planning for your date this week.
so when he asked to for you to close your eyes, you were a bit skeptical. he had never done this before throughout the few years the two of you had been dating.
you felt his hand intertwining with yours, enveloping your hand in that familar comforting warmth. “where are you taking me?” you asked quietly. “it won’t be a surprise if i tell you,” law mumbled under his breath.
the trio looks at the two of you suspiciously. “where is he taking her?” ace asked, his eyes slowly filled with panic. “oh, i bet he’s going to propose!” luffy said in a quiet excited tone. the two brothers snapped their head towards luffy. “what?”
“isn’t it obvious?” luffy tilted his head at his brothers. “he looks nervous,” the younger male pointed out.
.
“you can open your eyes now,”
slowly, you opened your eyes before adjusting to the lights around you. he had taken you to the park where the two of you first met. “is this a special occasion? why did you take me here?” you asked, smiling softly at him.
“i just, feel like it,” he cleared his throat, looking away from you. before you know it, your three brothers suddenly jumped into the open, standing right in front of you. luffy has a big smile painted on his face, ace's expression was as if he was about to cry while sabo...
well, he looked quite angry.
“what are you guys doing here?!” you scolded. “he’s going to take you from us!” ace argued. you looked at them in confusion. “what are you talking about?”
“he’s going to propose to you,” luffy chimed in, his smile stretching even wider. your eyes widened and you quickly looked at law. “i... wasn’t,” the male said in confusion. “then why did you look so nervous?” luffy frowned, now even more confused by law's confession.
“i was... going to ask her to move in with me,” before you could answer to that, sabo had already raced you to it. “no, you’re not going to take her away from us,” he crossed his arms together, looking at law up and down skeptically. “oh, i thought that you were going to be my brother,” luffy frowned. you could hear ace’s sigh of relief beside you.
you put your hand on sabo's arm in hopes to calm him down slightly. “sabo...” you gave him a pointed look. “i’m a grown adult! how long are you going to see me as your baby sister?” you sighed. “i can make my own decision,” you crossed your arms.
“fine,” the blond male sighed, looking away from you with a pout present on his face. you shook your head lightly, chuckling at his childish behavior. you knew that he only worry about you. a little bit too much.
but you still love all your brothers the same.

Isekai Yandere Strawhats X Black Fem Reader 15
Masterlist
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Tumblr media
Warning: Sanji is a little ooc
There were too many obstacles for you to overcome, everything felt like it was in slow motion. The two captains were face to face waiting to see who would make the first move. Cocky smirks and the pressure in the room intensified by now even momonosuke was scared to make a move.
You struggled to make a decision. Would it be better if they argued right now? No, you couldn’t mess up their alliance. Both the captains and their crews were informed how important of a milestone Wano would be, the fact that solely you could be the reason this turned sour irritated you. You put your nerves aside and broke free of Zoro’s hold splitting the two captains up by their shoulder.
“ We have bigger fish to fry, let’s stop with the nonsense please.”
They looked to you, then to each other, a silent agreement that this would be dealt with later on. Things were calm as the two crews discussed plans, plans that Luffy would fumble once again but as upset Law was he knew everything would be alright.
He was secretly so thankful you ended up in this world. He’s been think that for a while now, you gave him so much insight so quickly, it would’ve taken him so much more time to find certain things out. So many other plans and worries would’ve invaded his thoughts if you weren’t around. He was upset knowing Luffy would of course be the one to alert Kaido of their presence but they would come out victorious either way.
You decided that today would be a good day to spend time with the Strawhats, you knew they were hit on your tail when it came to Law. You were going to spend time with Sanji today, you did want to try his Ramen after all.
You helped Sanji set up and garner the attention of the women walking down the street. And when you both were taking a break he’d given you a hefty bowl and sat down watching you with a small smile.
“ Don’t watch me eat.”
“ But I think you’re beautiful when you eat.”
“ You think every women within a five mile radius is beautiful Sanji.”
“ That’s true but I think you look especially beautiful right now.”
Your eyebrow quirked up when he moved closer to you. He was leaning his elbow on his knee and just staring at you. “ Do you really need to watch me?” He nodded and took a cigarette out and handed you his gold lighter.
“ Why are you so flirty today?”
He shrugged his shoulders and patiently waited until you lit it for him. “ Y/N can we talk about something important?” You looked away to restrain yourself from rolling your eyes. You knew what it was about, But Sanji was never really one to push you on this subject.
“ Yea sure.” You might as well indulge him today.
“ Do you think the crew is… well… evil?”
You almost choked on your noodles, what a surprise question. “ I don’t know how to reply to such a question San-”
“ That itself is an answer Y/N.”
“ How so?”
“ You’re afraid to say yes or anything similar… it’s because you think I’m going to tell Luffy or Robin.”
You looked away again, you couldn’t tell where he was trying to take this conversation or what he really wanted you to say.
“ Can I speak with you honestly?”
“ I guess.”
“ I know that you hate us… for the most part. I also know that you’ve been planning something with Law, well we all figured that out.”
“ I have no idea what you’re-”
“ We aren’t dumb Y/N.”
“ So… what are you gonna do about it? You don’t even know what it is me and Law are doing together besides dating.”
He chuckled at that, taking his cigarette out of his mouth and throwing it to the ground. “ Y/N when Luffy went to your world, to bring you back here, he saw everything in your room.” You put your bowl down, and your hands found their way to each other, and you began to fidget. Sanji quickly noticed and held a hand over them to stop, leaning even closer.
“ These little books you had on a shelf, One piece, he took them all, gave them to Robin. We know everything about Wano and how it plays out.”
“ Isn’t that.. you know… a good thing?”
He nodded and continued, “ You know the misconception in your world that Luffy isn’t as smart as the rest of his crew? How do you think he was able to get to your world? Better yet Y/N do you think he was the only one who entered your world?”
You gasped, that familiar fear sinking feeling entered your stomach. You’d never gave this too much thought, you were in survival mode. Of course you personally never thought Luffy was dumb, I mean of course he was silly but so was the rest of the crew at times but it was very clear even on paper Luffy was smart.
He pulled his hand away from yours, giving you some time to settle with the fact that the entire crew most likely was in your home, in your world, and knew a lot more about you then they let on.
“ I’m not trying to scare you. I understand that you want to go home and you’d do anything to get there. I know we have been unfair to you but, we care about you so much.”
“ You don’t drug people you care about.” You hissed.
“ That’s true. But what we did to keep you here doesn’t matter what matters is what I’m about to tell you about Law.”
“ What could you possibly tell me about Law.” You laughed.
“ Law hasn’t been completely honest with you either. You don’t have to believe me but it’s the truth. When we were on the ship together Robin gave him the One piece books. You know he’s smart, he read them in just two days.”
“ He was with me the entire time, I mean if you’re going to try and lie make it believable I’m not dumb.”
“ But You’re not as smart as any of us.”
You cocked your hand back to smack him and he grabbed you with ease. “ Let go of me.” Tears welled up in your eyes, you didn’t want your trust in Law to waver, not after all you’d been through.
But there was just this slight feeling of unease, this feeling that Sanji was tell you the truth. But did that mean he was pretending? Did that mean he wasn’t going to really help you get home? You didn’t know what to do.
“ Why are you telling me this now? What’s the point? What do you want from me?”
“ I just want you to be safe, with us, your crew.”
“ I’m not a part of your crew! I only came here to take a break from my life and from test taking, instead you turned this into me having to escape from people I used to care about.”
Tears were threatening to fall, Sanji’s grip faltered and you snatched your hand from his and stepped away from him. He sighed and took out another cigarette lighting it himself.
“ Y/N-chan, isn’t it better to not have to worry about all those things. Don’t you enjoy the freedom you have in this world? Your world is miserable, that’s why people write fantasies about places like this, and you out of all people get to actually enjoy them… but you’re taking us for granted.”
“ I’m taking this for granted really? Do you hear yourself?”
“ No one else gets to travel and see the things you’ve seen, you could only see them in.. what was it called? Movies, yes movies. You get this chance and you spend it trying to get away from the crew you have collected books about and have posters and figures all around you little room.”
He stood up walking over to you, towering your over you narrowing his eyes as he continued to speak.
“ We took you in, made you one of us and as soon as we did that you wanted to go back to that shitty little life of yours. Luffy and his crew would never let their crew mate be taken… you know this so well Y/N- chan.”
“ I have a family in that world, I have responsibilities, and I have dreams that cannot be fulfilled here. This entire series is about freedom.. but for some fuckin reason I’m not allowed to have it.” You sobbed. The tears fell while he spoke and all you wanted to do was cower or run away.
You wanted to go back to Law, question him, and be told that Sanji was trying to manipulate you. This wasn’t even the Sanji you knew and loved, they were all such different people none of it made sense.
How could a crew that was so well put together, a crew that fought for the unfortunate and for freedom treat someone they claim to care about like they were an object that belonged to them. Sanji’s hand carefully made it’s way to your cheek, you flinched when he touched you to wipe away the tears that stained your skin.
He never wanted you to cry. That was never in his agenda, it was never in any of the crews either. They were overjoyed to have you onboard, you were a brand new light that illuminated their lives, no one else was like you for many reasons.
You were both on such different pages and no one could understand each other. The barrier that came between you was as thick as steel. The crew that was sailing through the grand line thought they gained a fun new crew member, and you thought god had cursed you and locked you in a prison cell for all eternity.
Sanji didn’t know where to go from here, should he tell you Law’s complete plan or should he continue trying to convince you to stay with them. All he really wanted was for you to stop crying, you were so pretty when you smiled.
In his eyes you were a goddess, when your hair was pulled into braids showing the world every inch of your face, every expression, every little mark big or small he couldn’t keep his eyes from you. Or when your hair was free and the curls surround your face giving you a youthful glow. When you were tanning with Nami and he got to see your figure and the way the sun made your skin glow, you were loved by the sun and there were times where he almost tripped over his own feet when your eyes met his.
His heart raced when he was around you and his heart broke hearing the crack in your voice and the tears steam from your eyes like little rivulets.
“ I’m sorry I made you cry Y/N… we can talk about something else if you want.”
“ I don’t feel like talking anymore. I need to find Law to put my heart at ease.”
“ Can I just tell you one more thing about Law before you go?”
“ Fine.” What else could he possibly say at this point that would make you feel any different.
“ When you were busy, or went to sleep, Law was with Robin, reading and studying your world. Robin had told him about when we visited and he knows everything about your world. He could’ve brought you back ages ago.”
At that last sentence you choked on air. Your head pounded and your eyes burned from more tears falling. You pushed Sanji away and ran into the first direction you could focus on.
Lies. He’s lying.
There is no way Law would keep the fact that he knew how to get you home, Not only that but the Strawhats themselves knew there was a way for you to go home and stay there and instead of telling you they told Law?
When you were far away enough, in the forest you stopped to breathe. This was another manipulation tactic. They wanted you away from Law so that you couldn’t get home and just stay trapped here forever.
“ I need to find Law.”

Teaching Moments
Ace
Literally so patient and such a good teacher but works you to the bone. He forgets that you are new at this and he has been training since he was born.
Hand-to-hand combat isn’t necessarily your strong suit, but he figures out you're quite good with a pipe. 
He is also very good at fighting with a pipe (is there anything this man is bad at?!?!)
He won’t pull punches or go easy on you just because he loves you. You will crawl away from your training sessions with bruises and cuts all over your body.
After your sessions, he’ll walk with you to Marco to get healed up, and then he’ll give you a really nice, warm massage to loosen up your muscles. That alone makes your training day worth it. 
You sometimes feel like you’re not making any progress, but when you start fighting people who aren’t Ace, you realize you’re much better than most of them. Fighting the best of the best really has its perks.
Zoro
Zoro is a good teacher…most of the time. 
He gets frustrated easily when you don’t follow instructions, and expects you to come in with basic sword skills, but you don’t have any. 
You have to remind him that not everyone grew up in a dojo, where they learned about swords morning, noon, and night. After he learns that, he takes you back to the beginning, teaching you in a new light. 
He returns to the bamboo stick and the formations, and suddenly he becomes happier, laughing more with you and telling you about his childhood at the dojo. Every skill you learn is paired with a “Well when I was a kid…” story, and it warms your heart. 
He takes you to a store to get your own swords. He definitely believes that you need to pick your own sword. He gives you pointers and advice, but he mostly leaves it up to you. He knows how important of a decision it is, and he won't interfere with fate.
He takes it easy on you. He can skillfully decipher just how much he needs to pressure you to get you to continue to grow.
Zoro doesn't understand much in his life, but he does understand two things: swords and you.
Sanji
Sanji. Bless his heart. He is not a good teacher. 
He goes too easy on you and treats you like you’re too fragile.
It actually begins to put a bit of a strain on your relationship because it feels like he doesn’t think you’re capable of fighting the way he does.
In reality, he just doesn’t think a lady needs to fight. And he certainly doesn’t want to hurt you during training. He can’t hit a lady, even to defend himself.
He wants you to learn, and you know he’s not being rude or malicious, but in order to save your relationship, you end up finding another fighting instructor. 
Instead of fighting, you help him prepare meals. And thankfully, he’s more than happy to let you help him do kitchen prep. 
Luffy
Luffy is…Luffy. 
Your training sessions always start out strong. He’s surprisingly good at giving you pointers (“raise your elbow” or “a right hook would’ve been better than a direct attack right there”)
Sometimes he forgets that not everyone has gum-gum powers. He’ll advise you to fling your body towards your opponents and you’ll just kind of deadpan and wait for him to realize his mistake, which always leads to a fit of giggles from you both. 
Training sessions never last long. You guys always get distracted by someone or something, or you all get hungry or start chasing each other around, laughing and playing another game. 
It’s always fun, you’re just never sure how much you’re actually learning. Sometimes you get irritated and think neither of you are taking it seriously, but Luffy’s way of life is “if it’s not fun, we shouldn’t do it”. 
Little do you realize, he’s actually training you through the games you all play, and the mischief you guys get into. He’s a pretty good teacher overall.

Chapter XII: To hold you
Nami placed the bag on top of the table, making you and Robin look at her strangely. In the morning Nami had left the apartment without saying a word and she had not returned until almost lunchtime, which had surprised both of you. But when you saw the contents of the bag, you understood, tomorrow you were going on a trip and there were things left to buy.
“Do you think that if I kill the boys in the trip, someone would miss them?” She said throwing herself into the couch.
“Pretty sure they would.” Robin said. “Where did you go?”
“Agh!” She touched her head. “I asked ONE single thing to Luffy and Zoro to buy and they called me this morning, telling me they couldn’t find it and that they thought they were in the wrong direction. So I went to help them.” She sighed. “From the beginning it was a bad idea those two idiots to buy anything. I should’ve sent Usopp and Chopper, they would’ve done a better job.”
“Isn’t Zoro bad with directions?” You asked.
Nami looked at you. “I know! But everyone was busy and Zoro has a car even if he is bad with directions.” She cried out.
“Well but everything is fixed right?” Robin asked and Nami nodded. “That’s good. Y/n and I already prepared our luggage.”
“Already?!” Nami screamed. “Shit I haven’t prepared mine.”
“I will be out this evening, so I wanted to leave everything ready before going out.”
“You going out?” Nami looked at you.
“Yeah, Corazon asked me to meet up with him. He didn’t tell me why but it was kinda urgent.”
Nami and Robin looked at each other. “Have you talked with Law these days?”
You shook your head. “Not since that day. Why?” You felt your head spin. “You know something?”
“No, no.” Robin denied effusively. “It's just that, with the situation that you told us and that Corazon called you urgently so that you could talk, we have become worried.” You looked down and nodded.
“I'm not going to deny it, I was also worried when he called me and told me it was urgent. But something in Corazon's tone gave me peace of mind.” You smiled at them and they smiled back at you. “Everything will be okay.”
Nami kept insisting that you help her pack her suitcase, so in the end you gave in and you and Robin helped her. You spent the morning joking and talking. It seemed like more people from the group would come to the exit, people you had heard about, like Viví, and whom you really wanted to meet. You were also excited to see Luffy's brothers again. You really felt like a little girl in a candy store, all excited about tomorrow's trip.
You said goodbye to your two friends and headed to Corazon's house. You were nervous, the talk with Robin and Nami had only made things worse and if it was true that something had happened and that was why he had called you so urgently? No. Surely there was some explanation, surely he wanted to say goodbye to you, because you were traveling for 4 days. Yes, that was surely it. Nothing else.
You sighed and dug into your bag for the keys Corazon had insisted on giving you. Apparently you were already like family, so it was nice that you had your own keys. It still seemed too intrusive and personal to you, but Corazon wouldn't take no for an answer, so in the end you ended up with the keys in your bag.
You opened the door and walked in, you could hear voices inside. Apparently Corazon was not alone and the tone he used was one you had never heard him use, serious and blunt.
“It’s really dangerous.” Corazon spoke.
“It is but this could be a good opportunity Rosinante.” A voice you didn’t know spoke.
Shit, it seemed like something important and confidential. Something you probably shouldn't be listening to at that very moment.
“Cora-san, it will be alright. He won’t know I sent those notes to you.” For a moment you stopped breathing, you knew that voice. Law.
You started walking down the hallway, not caring what sound you made. You entered the kitchen, meeting Corazon, who was smiling at you and a man with already white hair, glasses and a beard, also looking at you with surprise.
“Peachie.” You listened to the other side, where your eyes had not yet landed.
There he was, he was smiling at you and even though it had only been a month since you had last seen him, you had a tremendous desire to cry and hit him, because it had felt like an eternity not seeing him.
In another circumstance, you would have been terrified to run up to him and hug him the way you did, in front of Corazon and that man you didn't know at all. But at that precise moment, you didn't care and you wanted to feel him close again, you wanted to hug him.
Law immediately hugged you back and you hid your face in his neck, enjoying his scent and the peace that being with him gave you. That peace that you had missed so much.
“I missed you.” You whispered only for him to hear you.
His arms pulled you closer to him and he placed a kiss on your cheek. “Me too.”
Sometimes you wondered how it was possible that Law had changed so much since you had met him. When you met him you never thought about being like that in his kitchen, hugging and whispering in each other's ears that you had missed each other. But fate had decided to play its cards and inevitably you had fallen in love.
Fell in love. When you came here it wasn't something you thought about, your love life was always painful so finding someone to fall in love with and who would fall in love with you had been completely new. Besides, you can't forget your cold start with Law. You laughed as you remembered that.
“What’s so funny peachie?” Law separated from you a little and looked into your eyes.
Oh shit how much you had missed those honey colored eyes. You really were screwed.
“I was just remembering our beginnings.” You snuggled back into his chest. “You were an asshole.”
Law laughed and kissed your head. “Yeah I know… I still don’t understand how you fell for me.”
“You have your charms.”
“Do I?” He raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Shit." You said, remembering that you weren't alone in the room.
“Don’t worry they left.” Law said pulling you back towards him.
“Since when have you been so affectionate and clingy?” You said smiling. “I didn't really take you for this kind of person.”
“Only with you peachie.” He said, leaving a kiss on the back of your neck that made your breath catch.
You bit your lip and blurted out the question you didn't want to ask but that had been gnawing at you since you walked in. “What you were talking about…”
“It’s nothing important.” Law whispered to your ear.
“It is important if it’s related to you.” You responded.
Law smiled behind you and hugged you tightly. “Don’t worry.” He turned you around to leave you facing him. “It’s okay, everything will be okay from now on.” You closed your eyes when he touched your cheek. “Besides, tomorrow we are leaving for the trip, I don’t want you to worry about anything.”
“You coming?” You opened your eyes excitedly to which he nodded.
“Of course I am. I also have a surprise ready for the trip.” He winked at you.
“Can’t wait.” You smiled.
Law stared at you, with a look you had rarely seen on him but you knew perfectly well what it meant. He leaned closer to you to the point where your noses were touching. You wanted him to do it, you wanted him to kiss you again like that time, you wanted to feel his lips on yours again, you wanted it, you wanted it so much.
He grabbed your face and joined your lips in a tender kiss, a kiss full of affection. You could feel how your blood began to circulate more quickly throughout your body and how butterflies did not stop fluttering in your stomach. You moved your hands up to her neck and tangled your fingers in her dark hair. You would be lying if you didn't say that you had dreamed more than once about running your fingers through his hair. Law grabbed your waist and pulled you closer to him, you were completely stuck to each other.
Law seemed more experienced than you. You just had a boyfriend in elementary school and then a one-night stand with... ugh, why did you have to think about that? Law pulled you away from him, breaking the kiss and caressed your cheek.
“What’s wrong?”
“Huh?” He noticed?
“You tensed up while we were kissing, was it too much for you?”
Your mouth formed an O in surprise. “No, not at all.” You shook your head. “I don’t feel uncomfortable with you. Something came to my mind, that’s all.”
He nodded and grabbed your hand placing a kiss on it.
God I could die right here.
“Let’s go with Cora-San or he will start wondering if we are doing something else.”
Your cheeks turned red instantly and you looked down. Seeing your reaction, Law couldn't help but laugh, you were really adorable. You went outside, meeting Corazon and the man who was also in the kitchen.
“Hello lovebirds.” Corazon mocked.
“Cora-San shut up.” Law reprimanded him.
Corazon stuck out his tongue playfully and then turned to look at the man and then at you. “Y/n, this is Sengoku, the superintendent. He adopted me when I was little.” He pointed. “Dad, this y/n.”
“Nice to meet you sir.” You approached him.
“The pleasure is mine y/n. I heard a lot of things about you.”
“Hopefully good things.” You joked.
“Of course.”
You exchanged light conversation until Sengoku said goodbye to everyone. Even though Law had reassured you by telling you that everything was fine, there was something that he told you was not and you could read it in his face. You didn't want to pressure Law into telling you, but you knew he was keeping things to himself and that he was most likely related to the boss. Just thinking about it gave you chills.
Luckily you were able to forget about it momentarily at lunch when Corazon started telling stories about Law as a child, you couldn't help but laugh when you saw Law's blushing cheeks and how he told Corazon to shut up and saying that it was embarrassing.
But Law absolutely lost his mind when Corazon pulled out an old photo album, where there were photos of Law as a teenager and of the two of them together.
“Stop laughing.”
“Sorry, sorry.” You said, whipping out your tears. “But you were just so cute.” You said showing him a picture of him when he was like 13-14.
“Cute?” You nodded looking back at the picture. “I’m still cute?”
You turned your head around to notice how close he was. “Law…”
“Peachie, I’m still only cute.” He was trying to get under your nerves and he was being successful.
“I… you are handsome.”
“Uh.” He smirked. “What else?” He said holding your hair and playing with it.
“Really handsome.”
“You already said that. C’mon baby.” Your noses were already touching.
“You are so beautiful, handsome and sexy.”
“That’s my girl.” He said closing the distance between you and kissing you.
The kiss was definitely different from the others, in this you could feel Law's heat passing through your skin. You were grateful that you had been left alone at home, because if Corazon walked through the door now you would feel like dying. Law pulled you closer to him, pulling on your waist, causing you to be on top. Shit, your heart was beating too hard, you felt like you were going to be out of breath.
“Law…” You said breaking the kiss, your cheeks were burning red.
“Mhm?” He smiled, touching your cheek.
“What… what are we?” You weren't planning on asking him the question, but it was a doubt that had been on your mind for a while. You definitely weren't friends, but he hadn't asked you to be anything more either.
“Just wait a little bit okay?” He said squishing your hands. “You trust me right?”
You nodded. “I do.”
“Good.” He said and once again he kissed you but this time being more sweet.
Law left a couple more kisses on your face and you stayed hugging for a while on the couch at home, without saying or doing anything. You loved the calm you felt being with Law, the security and comfort you felt just being around him. You liked it so much and you wished that those moments would never end, that everything would always be like this. Calm, safe and happy.

So is the Life of a Pirate (2/?)
Series: One Piece
Chapter: 2/?
Word Count: 5039
Rating: T
Pairing(s): Sanji x OC (Reader)
A dalliance six years ago has a funny way of catching up to Sanji when the Straw Hats stop to restock the ship.
[1]
a/n: Wowie! I didn't expect this to get the attention it did, but you guys seem to like it, so I'll keep on posting sporadically like this. Maybe every couple days. Yeah? How's that sound? What about a little angst this chapter? That sound good, too?
Cordelia opened her door and of course, there he was.  She hadn’t known many pirates in her life that she genuinely liked.  But she could always make an exception for her Straw Hats.  Always, “CORDELIA!”
“Luffy!” Cordelia threw her arms around him, “Hi!”
“When Nami said we’d be going somewhere special for dinner tonight,” Luffy gasped, “She didn’t say we’d be coming here.”
“Where else would you go?” Cordelia scoffed, “Best food in Beniville Bay.  Right here.”
“Don’t tell Sanji I told you this,” Luffy kept his voice down, “But his cooking isn’t as good as yours.”
“I know,” Cordelia giggled, “Go on.  Go inside.”
“Thanks!” Luffy walked into Cordelia’s house and found Ash in the middle of the living room with his jaw on the floor, “Hey!  There’s a little kid in here!  Hi, little kid!”
“Luffy,” Cordelia settled him, “Play nice.”
“What?” Luffy squeaked, “I’m not doing anything wrong.”
“There’s…what?” Usopp poked his head around the corner, “Oh, hi, Cordelia!”
“Hi, Usopp,” Cordelia got a hug out of him and a little kiss to her cheek, “Go on.  Go play with him.”
“Awesome!” Usopp slid past her, “Hey, you weren’t lying, Luffy!  There’s a kid here!”
“I’ll go keep them in line,” Nami already walked in.
“Thank you, Nami,” Cordelia leaned against the doorjamb.  Until Zoro came up to her.  And immediately scooped her up in his arms, “Hi, Zoro.”
“It’s been way too long since we’ve seen you, Cordelia,” Zoro practically snapped her spine, “I’m so glad Nami brought us here.”
“Me, too,” Cordelia melted in his embrace.  Until she saw those eyes.  Those eyes that got her hooked all those years ago.  And her heart fell to pieces, “Hey, Zoro?  Not that I’m not thrilled to see you, but…Could you…?”
“Yeah,” Zoro let her go, “I’ll just…Go inside?”
“If it’s not too much to ask,” Cordelia nodded.
“Got it,” Zoro walked inside and closed the door and the living room windows behind him.
And the air went still.  Five years had gone by and Cordelia still couldn’t believe this was the one.  The same one she had fallen in love with all those years ago.  And yet, she sat down on her front step.  And he sat next to her, “Everyone else gets hugs and kisses and I just get the front porch?”
“I figured I’d let you finish your cigarette before you came inside,” Cordelia smiled a bit, “Hello, Sanji…”
“Cordelia…” Sanji put the rest of his half smoked cigarette out on the bottom of his boot before throwing the butt into the gravel.  And immediately, Sanji pulled Cordelia into his arms.  And he didn’t want to let her go, “I missed you so much…”
“I missed you, too,” Cordelia did all she could to not start bawling.  Her knotted up stomach wanted to relax, but it just couldn’t.  Something else weighed far too heavy on her shoulders to even allow her to think about relaxing. 
“Please,” Sanji hoped, “Please tell me I’m not homewrecking here.”
“What?” Cordelia giggled, cuddling into his shoulder “No.  Of course not.  But…Sanji, I have to tell you something.”
“Oh…” Sanji’s eyes fell to the ground, “There is someone.”
“There is,” Cordelia bit the inside of her cheek, “And…I really want you to meet him.”
“Him?” Sanji whined, “Really?  No.  You’re right.  It would’ve been selfish of me to think you would’ve waited for me.”
“Sanji…”
“We had one night together,” Sanji went on, “I’m sure it made an impact then, but…”
“Sanji…”
“Again, it would’ve been selfish of me to think…”
“Sanji,” Cordelia grabbed him by his face and pressed her lips against his, “It’s not like that.  I promise.  Just…Come on.  I already have dinner made.  And I want you to meet him.”
“Fine,” Sanji let out a heavy, dramatic sigh, “But I’m not making any promises.”
“I’m not expecting you to,” Cordelia pushed herself onto her feet, “But-”
“Hey, Cordelia!” Luffy stuck his head out the front window, “Since when do you have a kid?”
Cordelia bit down on her lip, her eyes squeezed tight.  And it took everything she had not to beat Luffy down with a cast iron frying pan, “Since I had him, Luffy.”
“He’s great!” Luffy beamed, beyond thrilled to have a new buddy.
“Hold on,” Sanji froze, “Cordelia…How long has it been since you had him?”
Cordelia knew it was coming.  She knew she’d have to say something eventually.  It was going to be the elephant in the room, but it had to be said, “He’s about to turn five.”
“Oh,” Sanji let it go.  Although, the math started adding up quickly in the back of his head, “And…Is that who you wanted me to meet?”
“You were going to eventually,” Cordelia walked inside with Sanji in tow, “Ash…Come here, baby.”
“Mama!” Ash gasped, running to his mother’s side, “You didn’t tell me how cool you were when you were hanging out with Luffy!”
“They might have been here a week,” Cordelia giggled to herself, “I didn’t realize I made that much of an impression.”
“You liberated an entire ship of trafficked girls and made that ship’s captain walk the plank, Cordelia,” Luffy reminded her, “That’s pretty cool, if I do say so myself.”
“You know what?” Usopp sighed out, kicking his feet up on the coffee table, “It reminds me of this one time when I was in the South Blue.  There was an entire fleet after my ship!  And I knocked all those captains’ heads together like a pendulum!  It was a pretty weird Tuesday.”
“I’m sure it was, Usopp,” Cordelia sat down on her couch and Ash nuzzled himself into her lap, “But yeah.  A lot’s happened since we all saw each other.  I know I’ve already talked about it with Nami this morning, but I do.  This is my son, Ash.”
Ash looked up at her, “We’ve already met, Mama.”
“Thank you, sweetheart,” Cordelia slowed her breathing, already feeling her heart ready to give out, “But I told you I knew pirates.  And now, you can put names to faces.”
Although, Sanji got a good look at Ash.  A very good look at Ash.  He thought for sure he was overthinking things.  So, he let them go, “It’s Ash, right?”
“Mmhm,” Ash nodded, “Is this the pretty cook you always talk about?”
“Ash,” Cordelia’s cheeks turned the brightest red.  And Sanji’s weren’t much better off, “Why don’t you and the others go play in the backyard?  I’ll call you when dinner’s ready.  I could really use your help, Sanji.”
“I’d be happy to,” Sanji agreed, a little smile gracing his face.
“But dinner was ready before they-”
“Asher,” Cordelia stood her ground, “Go outside.”
“Fine,” Ash got up from Cordelia’s lap and ran out the back door.
“Does that mean we get to go play outside, too, Cordelia?” Luffy hoped, “And then, we get food?”
“Yes, Luffy,” Cordelia held her face in her hands, “You, too.”
“Yay!” Luffy started running for the back door, “Come on, Usopp!”
“I’m coming!” Usopp followed, just as excited.
“Zoro, Nami…” Cordelia begged, “Will you two go be the adult supervision?”
“Already on it,” they droned.
“Thank you,” Cordelia took Sanji’s hand, “You get to come with me.”
“Aww,” Sanji teased her a bit, “And I wanted to go outside and play, too.”
“Bullshit, Sanji,” Cordelia rolled her eyes, “I know you better than that.  There’s nowhere you’re more content than in a kitchen.”
“I can think of one other place,” Sanji followed Cordelia into the kitchen and looked across the way at a very familiar bedroom.
“Other than that,” Cordelia shook her head, “Oh, I missed you, Sanji.”
“And I, you, darling,” Sanji kissed her cheek, “But…There’s something I need to ask you.”
“Yes,” Cordelia groaned, “The seal on the oregano jar still hasn’t been broken.”
“That wasn’t it,” Sanji hushed her, “But I will commend you for it.”
“Alright,” Cordelia hopped up on the kitchen counter, “Go ahead.  I know you’re going to ask.”
“It’s about Ash…”
“I figured.”
Sanji looked out the kitchen window into the backyard where Ash, Luffy, and Usopp were running around the big tree, “Where’s his father?”
Cordelia’s stomach dropped to her feet.  Slowly, she settled her mind, “Would you like to hear the story I tell him when he asks?”
“I’d love to,” Sanji sat down at the table.
“I tell him his father was lost to the sea,” Cordelia sighed out, “Which isn’t entirely lying to him.  I tell him his father pulled into this port one day.  We fell in love.  And then, he was gone.  He didn’t stick around long enough to know Ash would come along.  Hell, I wouldn’t even know Ash was coming along until a month and a half later.  So, I always tell Ash the same thing.  I don’t ever tell him his father left us.  Because that would’ve meant his father knowing there was an us and not just me.  But he had me.  And I’m all he’s ever known.  And that’s all that mattered.”
“Until…?” Sanji could see it in Cordelia’s eyes.  There was something she wasn’t saying.  There was something that was killing her.  There was something she wanted to just spit out, but she couldn’t find the words to do it.
“Until…” Cordelia’s voice broke.  But before she could start crying, she cleared her throat, “Until…He met Auntie Nami in the marketplace this morning getting produce for him.”
And that was the moment where Sanji’s heart exploded.  And yet, his face remained unmoved, “And how old is he?”
“He’s four…”
“Why didn’t you tell me, Cordelia?” Sanji snapped a bit, “Why didn’t you tell me he was mine?  Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant in the first place?  You know damn well I would’ve come back for you!”
“Because, Sanji,” Cordelia defended herself, “I knew this wasn’t the life for you.  I knew you were meant to be out to sea.  I didn’t want to be the one to hold you back from that.”
“You never held me back,” Sanji growled, “You never would’ve held me back.  You think I wouldn’t have wanted to settle down?  You think I wouldn’t have wanted to settle down with you?  ESPECIALLY, if I knew I had a son out there?  You don’t get to make those decisions for me, Cordelia!  You didn’t deserve to go through your pregnancy and raising him on your own!”
“I don’t know why you’re mad at me,” Cordelia jumped down Sanji’s throat, “It’s not like we’re suffering, Sanji.  We have everything handled.  I have everything handled.  I never expected anything from you.”
“But I would’ve given you everything without batting an eye!” The room went quiet again.  Not the kind of quiet like it was before.  Not the uncomfortable, awkward quiet.  The seething, angry quiet.  Sanji got up from the table, “I need to go.”
“Where are you going?” Cordelia worried.
“To walk out on the apparent mother of my son properly,” Sanji went straight for the door, knowing how badly his words wounded her.  The slamming screen cut Cordelia deeper than she had ever been hurt before.  She knew it wasn’t going to be pretty, but she didn’t realize it’d be this bad.
“Cordelia?” Zoro walked in, the rattling screen catching his attention.  He wasn’t expecting to find her sobbing on the floor, “Hey…Where’d Sanji go?”
Cordelia couldn’t even talk.  Her words failed her.  And her heart was in pieces.  But she wasn’t alone.  And Zoro would make sure she knew that.  So, he sat on the floor next to her and pulled her into his shoulder.  And she bawled her eyes out for a while.  Zoro knew he would be there for as long as she needed. 
“Cordelia,” Zoro picked her chin up and wiped her tears away, “What happened?”
“I screwed up,” Cordelia spoke through her sobs, “I screwed up so big.”
“What do you mean?” Zoro looked at her strangely, “What was with the door slamming?”
“Sanji’s pissed,” Cordelia explained, her head rested in Zoro’s chest, “I didn’t tell him about Ash.”
“Why would that piss him off?” Zoro wondered, “I mean, we all didn’t know about Ash until we came here.”
“Yeah,” Cordelia felt another wave of tears coming, “But you’re not all his father…”
“Oh…” Zoro got quiet after that.  He wasn’t sure if it was shock or heartbreak.  But he knew he had to do something.  When they all met Cordelia for the first time, Zoro had a soft spot for her.  Like the annoying little sister he never had.  But that didn’t mean he didn’t know Sanji a little better than she did, “Ash is…Sanji’s son?”
“Mmhm,” Cordelia nodded, “I always told Ash his father was lost at sea.  I wasn’t lying to him.  For all I knew, Sanji was lost at sea.  But I knew he was out there.  Somewhere.  And you guys are impossible to get a hold of.  How was I supposed to know where to find you?  And then, to tell Sanji I was pregnant?  It would’ve ruined him.”
“By the sounds of it,” Zoro winced, “It’s ruining him now.  And he’s got four years to catch up on.”
“Thanks, Zoro,” Cordelia grumbled, “Way to make me feel more like shit.”
“Not my intentions,” Zoro promised, “Does Ash know?”
“No,” Cordelia shook her head, “But I’m sure there’s going to be a connection made at some point.”
“Do you want me to go out and find Sanji?”
“No.  He needs to walk this one off.  He’s already pissed.  I don’t need to get under his skin even more.”
“Ok,” Zoro didn’t budge.  He kept Cordelia in his lap, “You know…He’s a great kid.”
“Thank you,” Cordelia cracked a smile, “I did my best with what I had.  And it’s not like I totally raised Ash alone.  I had Nora at the tavern, too.  And some of the others around here.  It takes a village and I had one.”
“And that might be what’s bothering him,” Zoro assumed, “Ever think Sanji would’ve wanted to be part of Ash’s life?”
“Like I said, though,” Cordelia reiterated, “How was I supposed to tell him?  You guys are out on the ship and in the middle of the sea.  Was I just supposed to get on mine and go find you guys?  Out in the middle of who the hell knows where and risk me going into labor where there would be no doctor around?  Or anyone else for that matter?  Where it would be just me squeezing Ash’s massive head out of me with no painkillers and a weirdly angled mirror?  I wasn’t keeping Sanji away from Ash.  He could’ve come back anytime.  But no.  He was gone for five years.  And now, he knows he has a kid out in the world.  And he still walked out.”
“Cordelia,” Zoro kept his voice down, “Does the name Vinsmoke Judge mean anything to you?”
“No,” Cordelia shook her head, “Why?  Should it?”
“He’s the reason why Sanji would ever want to be a dad to his kid in the first place,” Zoro explained, “He’d kill me for saying any of this, but Vinsmoke Judge was a piece of shit father to his own kids.  Including Sanji.  We’ve talked about it.  If we were to ever have families outside the crew.  And he only said one thing.  If he had a kid, all he’d want to do is give that kid the life he never had.  And the dad he never had.  And to never know suffering a day in their life.  This might just be me speculating, but I think this is about more than just you not telling Sanji about Ash.”
In that moment, Cordelia’s heart fell to her feet in individual pieces.  Like the world’s saddest confetti.  She stood up, brushed herself off, and pulled herself together, “I have to go.”
“Hey, Cordelia?” Luffy stuck his head in the back door, “Is dinner done yet?  I’m starving.”
“I have to go,” Cordelia wiped her eyes one last time, “Zoro, can you keep an eye on Ash for me?”
“Go,” Zoro insisted, “Everything here is taken care of.”
“Thank you,” Cordelia started heading for the front door, “And keep Luffy out of the kitchen!”
“Will do!”
With her wits about her much more than they were before, Cordelia went on a search for Sanji.  Beniville Bay wasn’t very big, so it’s not like he could get lost.  He wasn’t Zoro.  But Cordelia knew where to find him.  Cordelia knew exactly where to find him.  The place it all started.  On the cliffs of Beniville Bay, there was the perfect view of all the West Blue.  So the rumor was.  There was nothing but water in any direction one were to look from those cliffs.  The day Sanji met Cordelia, she sat on the edge of those cliffs, gently singing an old shanty to herself.  And Sanji swore she was a siren.  And she certainly drew him in like one.
And sure enough, Cordelia found Sanji sitting at the edge.  Her hands and knees started to shake, but she knew she had to push through it.  No matter how hard it might be.  But at the same time, she didn’t want to scare him.  Cordelia made sure her footsteps made noise.  And of course, she caught Sanji’s attention. 
“What are you doing here?” Sanji asked, his voice hardly above a whisper. 
“I was going to ask you the same thing,” Cordelia sat on the ground next to him.  And the quiet between them was excruciating.
“I needed some quiet,” Sanji told her, clearing his throat, “What about you?”
“I needed to explain myself,” Cordelia carefully took Sanji’s hand, “Look, Sanji…I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about Ash.  I’m sorry I made big decisions for you.”
“Cordelia,” Sanji asked, “Does Ash know who I am?”
“Of course,” Cordelia assured him, “You’d be amazed at how many times he’ll ask me to tell him all about the pirates I knew.  He’d go back and tell his friends that his mama knew pirates.  His mama was a pirate.”
“But not his father.”
“I’d tell him all about the pirates I knew,” Cordelia smiled, “Including you.  He heard all kinds of stories about you and me.”
“Did he?” Sanji started to perk up a little, “What’s he know about?”
“He knows how you called me a siren while you were here,” Cordelia rested her head on Sanji’s shoulder, “He knows that when we met, Luffy almost cleared out the tavern.  And that you still made food when you got back to the ship because-”
“I didn’t want to get rusty,” Sanji chuckled to himself, “And yet, I seem to remember that same night when Zoro got wildly drunk and you and I snuck back to your place to do some very vile things.”
“I don’t tell Ash about that one,” Cordelia giggled, “He doesn’t need to know about the night he was conceived.”
Sanji laid back on the ground and pulled Cordelia into his ribs, “I wish I would’ve known about Ash.  He’s a great kid.”
“He’s our great kid.”
“No,” Sanji shook his head, “He’s your great kid.  I had nothing to do with him turning out the way he has.”
“That’s not entirely true,” Cordelia cuddled into him, “Sanji, there’s more of you in Ash than you think there is.  One time, he threw a tantrum because I was in the middle of making dinner at the tavern and he wanted a banana.  I was almost done with dinner and he wanted a banana, so I wasn’t going to give him one.  He could wait for dinner.  Mind you, he had no money on him.  But there was a woman selling fruit from her stand a little way down the square.  He went over to the woman and told her he had a rumbly tummy.  The kid batted his eyelashes at her and came back with a banana and a satisfied grin on his face.”
“Really?” Sanji laughed, “He charmed a woman for a banana?”
“I didn’t believe it at first either,” Cordelia held her face in her hands, “But Nora said she saw the whole thing.  It was incredible.  And I don’t think I ever heard that kid ever use the word tummy a day in his life.  He full on charmed a woman for a banana.”
A sudden warmth spread through Sanji’s chest like a wildfire, “That’s my boy…”
“He is,” Cordelia agreed, “Whether you like it or not, you can’t deny him.  You’ve seen it, haven’t you?”
“The little uptick in his eyebrows?”
“The very same.”
“Yeah,” Sanji nodded, “I saw.  It was how I realized he was mine.  I just needed to hear it from you.”
“And you did,” Cordelia shut her eyes for a moment or two, “Ash is your son, Sanji.  You are just as much his dad as I am his mom.  But you think you were shocked when you met him for the first time.  You should’ve seen his first birthday.”
“You’re right,” Sanji stared up into the sky as guilt crept into his thoughts, “I should’ve seen his first birthday.”
“No,” Cordelia hushed him, “We’re not going to make it sad.  He knows you now, Sanji.  And no one can take that away from you.  And now that you know he exists, you can do something about it.”
“It’s just a matter of what I do,” Sanji pulled Cordelia a little closer, “But about his first birthday.  Tell me.”
“I knew he wouldn’t remember his first birthday,” Cordelia began, “First birthday parties were just vanity things for the parents to pat themselves on the back.  Birthday parties aren’t for the kid until they gain more sentience and cognitive memory.  But I still wanted to do something special.  So, I told Nora I was going to go on sabbatical for a month or two and I brought Ash on the boat.”
“You took a one year old on a boat?” Sanji gasped, “Cordelia, are you insane?”
“It was for a good reason,” Cordelia went on, “I took a couple weeks to get from the West Blue to the East Blue.  And just in time for Ash’s first birthday, we docked.  I got him dressed that night.  The cutest little bowtie.  I got dressed.  And we went and had dinner at the Baratie.”
Sanji froze.  His stomach turned into a solid knot.  And he wasn’t sure what to do about that, “You took our one year old son to the Baratie?”
“Yes, I did,” Cordelia nodded, “We deserved something nice.  And…Well, I always heard you talk up the Baratie, so…”
“Oh my god…” Sanji let out a little gasp, “You went to the Baratie looking for me.”
“Maybe,” Cordelia bit her lip, “So, you can’t say I never attempted to go after you.  But once we got back home, I figured you were on the other side of the world by then.  So, because Ash and I deserved nice things, we went to the Baratie for his birthday.  You should’ve seen the look on Zeff’s face when I walked in.”
And just when Sanji thought it couldn’t get worse, it managed to get just a little worse, “You met Zeff on your own?”
“You act like he’s some kind of monster,” Cordelia giggled, “Yeah.  I met Zeff on my own.  And he was nothing but sweet to me.  Zeff was a peach.  He sat with me for a bit while I was bouncing Ash on my knee.  But he was getting to that phase where he wanted to crawl all over the place, so if I held him down for too long, he’d try to squirm out or get super fussy.  And I had yet to eat anything at that point, so I was starving.  Ash ate more off my plate than I did, I swear.  Oh, Sanji…I wish you would’ve seen it.  Zeff took Ash and let me eat.  It was the first time since he was born that I could eat more than a few bites before I had to take care of him in some way.”
“I have a hard time seeing Zeff with a baby,” Sanji started to relax a bit.
“I mean,” Cordelia shrugged, “In a way, it made sense.  That was his grandson.  He just…didn’t realize it yet.  At least not until he got a better look at him.”
“So,” Sanji’s warm feeling didn’t last long, “Zeff knows.”
“Zeff figured it out,” Cordelia clarified, “But yes, Zeff knows.  Zeff knows Ash is his grandson.  Zeff knows you have a baby out in the world.  And Zeff expects us every year on Ash’s birthday.  But all that aside, the day I brought Ash to the Baratie…Zeff closed up a little early, so he and I could talk uninterrupted.  A few of the boys cleared the tables out.  Zeff cracked open a bottle of wine for me.  I could still taste it.  But Ash had fallen asleep in my arms.  And he was so content.  I told Zeff all about our night together without scarring him.  We talked about my life before we met.  And then, Ash woke up.  I felt bad because I thought maybe we were too loud.  He slid down from my lap and held onto my knee when he stood up.  And I watched as he took his first twelve steps from me to Zeff and fell into Zeff’s leg.”
“He…” Sanji tried not to start tearing up, but the thought of the little boy in Cordelia’s house having taken his first steps in a place he held dear in his heart and to the man that saved his life made it difficult, “He took his first steps…to Zeff…In the Baratie?”
“It was beautiful to see, Sanji,” Cordelia cuddled in a little closer, “You should’ve seen the look on Zeff’s face.  Fucking priceless.  And now, I can hardly keep up with him.  My god, the little shit has more energy than God knew what to do with.  But he did.  We got to working on walking on my boat and he had a pretty good handle on it before we got home.  But once we hit land again, he had to learn to walk all over.”
“Cordelia…” Sanji wept, “I’ve missed so much…”
“It doesn’t matter what you’ve missed, Sanji,” Cordelia assured him, “What matters is that you know he exists.  You know he’s here.  And he’s got a birthday coming up.  I know Zeff’s going to be waiting for us.  I bet he misses you, too.”
“You think so?” Sanji thought it over, “You know, it has been a while since I’ve seen Zeff.  I suppose it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I popped up there.”
“I wouldn’t tell you no,” Cordelia wrapped herself around Sanji’s arm, “Would you want to make the annual birthday trip to the Baratie with us?  Chances are, it’ll be the first real birthday Ash really remembers.  What better way to have it than to be the first birthday he has with both his parents?”
Sanji felt a hitch in his breathing.  His heart turned into a puddle and he knew he wouldn’t be able to say no, “When do we shove off?”
“Probably in a couple days,” Cordelia thought, “Unless you and the others are off on some other great, grand quest.  This wouldn’t be very long.  Probably a night at the Baratie docks.”
“Cordelia,” Sanji took her hands into his and gently brought them to his lips, “Of course, sweetheart.  I’d love to.”
“Thank you,” Cordelia melted inside.  But then, reality set in, “You know, we should probably get back to my place before Luffy starts seizing up.”
“Good call,” Sanji got up and helped Cordelia onto her feet, “And…Cordelia?”
“Hmm?”
Sanji pulled her into his arms and held her tight, “I’m so sorry for walking out on you.”
“You were pissed,” Cordelia comforted him, “I understand.”
“No,” Sanji shook his head, “I could’ve stayed here a little longer.  Long enough to know you were pregnant.  We could’ve been a real family.”
“We still are, Sanji,” Cordelia held his hand, “I tried seeing other men after you, but it wasn’t the same.  It didn’t feel right.  And the guy I saw after you really wasn’t right.  He found out Ash wasn’t his and walked out on us.  You came back, though.  I told you that you had a son and now, in a couple days, we’re going to go to the Baratie for his birthday.”
“Could you imagine the look on Zeff’s face when we walk in there together?” Sanji chuckled to himself, “Might actually put the old man in a heart attack.”
“We don’t want to do that to Zeff,” Cordelia awed, “I like Zeff.  And Zeff adores me.  My god, does Zeff love me.  Although, I think it was mostly a pity thing.  I walk into his restaurant a single mother only to find out that baby was yours.”
“He’s going to fucking kill me when we get there,” Sanji winced, “I can feel it.”
“Are you kidding?” Cordelia rolled her eyes, “Zeff adores you and wouldn’t dare.  Besides, Ash just got his father.  He’s not going to take him away from that.”
“That’s something I need hanging over my head,” Sanji scoffed, “Using the kid as a human shield.  That’s what we have Luffy for.”
“Don’t worry about Zeff,” Cordelia took Sanji’s arm, “If anything goes south with Zeff, I’ll take all the heat.  Considering this is mostly my fault anyway.”
“I still can’t believe you were at the Baratie to find me,” Sanji cracked a little smile.
“Why else would I have gone to the Baratie?”
“A half decent meal and just as mediocre ambience?”
“Valid point,” Cordelia ran a little way ahead, “We really do need to get back a little quicker, Sanji.”
“Why do you say that?” Sanji wondered, “Cordelia, sweetheart, we’re going to be here for a few days.  We have all the time in the world.”
“Very true,” she agreed, “But do you really want to leave a hungry Luffy alone with dinner on the table?”
“Alright.  Point made.”

Usopp asks sanji to write out the recipe of a favorite dish of his and let him borrow the kitchen to make it but sanji keeps Observing and Hovering
set vaguely after arlong park I guess??
Despite what anyone on the crew might think, Sanji isn’t actually against having other people in the kitchen. Working in a restaurant means working with a bunch of assholes who know how to sauté shit without setting themselves on fire. But while the bastards on the Baratie could barely be considered chefs, they were still—technically speaking—chefs.
He doesn’t miss the cacophony of steel and iron, of stupid banter, of order after order after order. He doesn’t miss elbowing past Patty on the way to the fridge, or heckling some dipshit’s new recipe until it’s actually worth serving, or cleaning with the geezer at the end of the day.
What he does miss is working with someone who knows how to hold a knife.
“That’s not how you fillet a fish,” Sanji says. Once he’s sure Usopp’s not in danger of accidentally cutting himself, Sanji reaches over to reposition Usopp’s hand, finger off the spine of the blade.
Usopp makes a face, probably torn between deferring to Sanji or spinning some story to brush him off. They’re still feeling each other out—it’s been a weird leap from ‘reluctant waiter and picky customer’ to ‘crewmates bound by the whims of their idiot captain.’ In the end, Usopp nods, carefully cutting into the pike while holding the knife in his new and improved posture (smart choice, less chance of losing his grip and a finger).
“You’re not cutting close enough to the—“
“Do you not want me here?” Usopp blurts out. “In the kitchen, I mean,” he clarifies, and for a second it looks like he’s going to continue, but he. Doesn’t. No backpedaling, no deflection, no convoluted over-explanation, which—isn’t Usopp supposed to lie? That’s his whole thing. Sanji knows that much, at least (but not much else).
“I’m trying to be nice,” Sanji says, eventually. To his own surprise, he means it. “If I didn’t want you here, I would’ve kicked you out.”
“…Oh.”
Usopp continues filleting the pike, and Sanji doesn’t point out the bones that are stuck in the pieces.
Alright, so, the thing is. Spending nine whole years surrounded by thugs will apparently have an impact on someone’s social skills. Which doesn’t matter with Luffy—he doesn’t really care about what Sanji says (unless it’s about food). It doesn’t matter with Zoro—Sanji doesn’t give a shit about that mosshead. And with Nami-chan, Sanji doesn’t have to think—a single glimpse of her radiant beauty is so soul-stirring that Sanji’s simply helpless against the flood of praise that springs forth ❤️
So how the hell is he supposed to talk to someone like Usopp?
Thankfully, it’s not a question Sanji has to consider for too long—Usopp clears his throat, taking the lead.
“I actually did this a lot before joining the crew,” he says, which—knife technique aside—sounds plausible.
“Yeah?”
“I must’ve grilled a thousand—no, ten thousand fish,” he continues, which sounds like bullshit. “By the time I was eight, the whole island was lining up for a taste of the great Captain Usopp’s legendary fire-grilled fish! Using spices foraged from the forest and fish caught by spear, not even the most refined palate could resist the food I poured my heart and soul into! But you see—” and here, he smiles, bright but somehow bittersweet, “I’d only cook it for my loyal crew and the princess we’d all sworn to protect.
“Now, as astounding as my own recipe was, I’m man enough to admit when I’m beat. And yours beats mine, no contest. So someday, I’d… like to cook it. For my old crew.”
It’s impressive, the way Usopp manages to be blindingly honest while lying his ass off. Sanji’s not quite sure what to make of it. If anyone else was feeding him this crap, he would’ve told them to eat shit, but…
“Hey,” Sanji says. “Tell me about your old crew.”
And, with a wide grin, Usopp does.
(The fish comes out fine. A little over-seasoned, but edible. They’ll work on it.)
