Your law is peak law. It’s cannon in the best of ways I swear. Semi goth fashion, air of badassery, general sadist in his hyper focus of surgery, oddly creepy. Also caves like a bitch to anything moderately cute (corasan bepo ect) and is so overprotective of his friends they don’t even get much of a chance to fight becuase he’s already disassembled the energy and look he’s so proud of himself
i am soooo happy he comes across like that.
law is a hilarious type of character that i love thats pretty fucking cool and intimidating from a distance and then you come closer and he is WEIRD and intimidating but like in a creepy way so sense of self preservation dictates establishing the distance back again
him being a doctor is the most normal thing about him but in that he is so extreme and exceptional
i love that hes just an INTENSE guy to the point that its off putting and im very happy that people enjoy me making loving fun of him

my favorite one piece outfits for each character and why: straw hat edition
by the way i just got to dressrosa, so i have not seen all of these characters’ outfits, so these are just my favorites so far !! i’m also not including dressrosa’s anime intro outfits, cus those are so good they would win be default.
luffy
Tumblr media
impel down luffy’s outfit is so simple but i love his arm band and i think it’s really cool !! his color palette is also really refreshing compared to his usual pre time skip outfit.
zoro
Tumblr media
he looks so cute 💀 this is first arc i was actually somewhat attracted to zoro, he just looks so good in this outfit and i love his goggles and armband !! all of these outfits so far are super simple but i promise there’s some wild ones in here
nami
Tumblr media
thriller bark nami’s outfit goes so hard it’s insane. her blouse, skirt, and even her tiny earrings !! actually adorable. and her hairstyle ?!?? iconic. amazing. perfect.
usopp
Tumblr media
ngl, his base post time skip outfit is fire. the color palette is perfect on him, i just wish they made his skin like. a normal color for a black man. his little facial hair is so silly and ngl i just noticed it 💀
sanji
Tumblr media
all sanji’s outfits are very similar so the only one that really stands out to me is the dress. she honestly slays so hard, and the makeup is on point. it very much fuels my transfem sanji headcanon, and when i look at this image, i can only think of sanji as a woman and it feels like misgendering if i use he for her 💀 other times i usually just use he/him for sanji, but in this dress, transfem sanji is so real.
chopper
Tumblr media
it looks like he’s on his way to school he’s so cute 🥹 there’s not a lot of standout chopper outfits so far but i chose this one cus it’s cute.
robin
Tumblr media
miss all sunday. it’s so heavily miss all sunday, it’s not even close. okay maybe it is close. i love her enies lobby and thriller bark outfits, but this outfit just screams native to me. i love it so much, her armband !! luffy 🤝🏽 robin when it comes to looking fire asf with an armband. indigenous king and queen (luffy is canonically indigenous, robin isnt but i headcanon her to be)
franky
Tumblr media
i know this is controversial. but this was everything. this was absolutely everything. honorable mention to thriller bark franky with the yellow shirt, but this franky is amazing. i really wish we could see more of this, or that they could have even explained it ?!?? like why he wears that mask ?? anyways, it looks super fucking cool !!
brook
Tumblr media
similarly to chopper, he doesn’t have a lot of outfits, but i like this one !! it’s simple and cute and i like green on him !!
Jinbe
Tumblr media
i love his egghead outfit, but i haven’t gotten that far, so his impel down/marineford outfit will have to do !! i really like the orange on him !!
so that’s it !! i’m so eepy so im going to bed now but i’ll probably make another one including buggy, law, and some other reoccurring characters !!

Your writing is amazing so i want to request a fluff-nsfw oneshot! Y/N is the short, affectionate and shy blacksmith of Straw Hat who has unrequited feelings for Zoro. After Dressrosa arc, Law inevitably starts to fell in love with her despite knowing her feelings for the swordman so he never tried anything. In Wano, when she found Zoro and Hiyori sleep together she breaks her heart and starts to be more low-spirited. One night, Law decide to show Y/N that he's better option than her nakama.
Hey Nonnie! I hope you're doing well. It's been a week, give or take, since you sent this in. I think that's pretty good considering my track record! LOL. I wanted to be a little more concise with this request but it got away from me and I have 2.4k for you. I don't know if you prefer shorter or longer fic so sorry lol. I usually tend to be very long winded. I hope you enjoy regardless! Thanks for requesting!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Forget Him
LAW X FEM READER | NSFW WORD COUNT: 2.4k (this has taken me all day omg) CONTENT WARNING: Kissing, biting, groping, profanity (?? i think), Law can be a little mean but that's cause he's impatient and Y/N is playing games, dom!law, rough!law, the man says you can keep the clothes on it's all the same to him, i didn't proof read this so if you say typos or mistakes just look away and leave me alone!!! unless you want to proof read for me lmao A SUMMARY: Y/N loves Zoro, Law loves Y/N but when Y/N gets her heart broken the Surgeon of Death takes it upon his own capable hands to heal what ails them (maybe)
Tumblr media
It began as admiration. 
He was strong, and determined. His dedication to his dream was unparalleled by anyone that wasn’t your captain, Monkey D. Luffy. Roronoa Zoro was someone you looked up to. 
He was a distant cloud in a mostly empty blue sky. Although he covered the expanse of your line of sight, your fingers never grazed him when you’d reach out to grasp him. You were okay with keeping your hands empty. Instead, you busied them with your work, building up calluses on top of calluses. Zoro was relentless in battle and keeping his swords in top shape was something you pride yourself on. It was as if you were his partner. Almost, anyway.
You knew in the way he smiled at you, that his feelings were as shallow and simple as his expression. He concealed nothing because there was nothing to hide. Zoro’s goal had been something you both discussed, as you beat his blades into submission, repairing the nicks on the steel’s edge. He wanted to be the greatest and strongest swordsman. You wanted to support him. 
Sometimes you wondered what had been your original dream when you set out at sea, and decided to join the Strawhats when Luffy asked. You had forgotten already, and sometimes it shamed you. So you threw yourself wholeheartedly into your work, thoughts scattering away every time your hammer came down.
You met Law while he was wearing a scowl on his face. Luffy introduced him to the crew, with an expression that was the complete opposite: excited and joyful. You couldn’t help the small laugh that shook your shoulders, and you had tried to hide it behind your hand. Law had noticed anyway, and he fixed his golden gaze on you.
Sometimes you’d think about that while working on Zoro’s swords. Sometimes you don't think about it at all.
It was hard to think about anything, much less your feelings, with everything that was happening. Once your crew arrived at Wano you all had your own missions to complete. You took up residence in a small stall, offering your services as a blacksmith. It was hard at first. There was plenty of competition, but you ended up having a small set of regulars who were always pleased with your work. Zoro would visit you infrequently, just to catch up. You knew he only wanted to make sure you were okay, but you couldn’t help feeling elated whenever you’d see his swaggering figure coming up the dirt path. He was always wearing a grin on his face and holding a bottle of sake in one hand. It seemed like he belonged here all along.
Perhaps, that is the reason your crew can’t find him. Perhaps that is the reason no one seems too bothered by his disappearance. You tell yourself, logically, it’s because they trust Zoro. They know he is capable, strong, and reliable. There is nothing to worry about. Zoro always appears when he is needed the most. Yet it doesn’t stop your legs from taking action. You make up an excuse for Luffy, and a more elaborate one for Sanji who finally concedes in letting you search alone. You’re convinced you can find him, before anyone else can. You knew him well. This was the least you could do.
The bitter cold settles in your bones as you march through. Vision is blurry, and bright. The blinding snow threatens to deter you but you push through regardless, a burning heart in your chest keeping you warm. It is by sheer luck, you think at first, that you find him.
But that luck quickly twists into a cruel joke. He is asleep next to Hiyori’s body. You don’t dare to move further from the door, the blizzard steadily screeching behind your back. You try to reason with the imagery. It should mean nothing. It meant nothing. Your brain is logical. You are kind, and understanding. You could be these things if you wanted to. This meant nothing. What you saw meant nothing. You nod, trying to convince yourself but your heart is not as easy to bargain with.
Your bottom lip quivers before you set your jaw, and back away slowly into the storm.
The events that unfurled after are as blurry as the snow flurries. They cloud your vision, but don’t reach inside you. Inside, you still feel cold and icy down to your bones. You go about the days in a haze. You answer automatically, and fix a taut smile on your face. You laugh when everyone else laughs, and you pretend to taste your food when you eat. You support your crewmates in battle to the best of your capabilities, as you always do, but your heart is somewhere else.
Your heart is buried under the snow, back at the spot where it broke.
He doesn’t know why no one has noticed. He doesn’t know but he wonders. Perhaps it’s because everyone is so worried about Kaido. Law thinks perhaps it’s because there are so many enemies, so many obstacles, it’s hard to find the right timing to sit down and talk to you. He thinks it’s this until he runs out of excuses. He thinks it’s this until everyone is celebrating, eating, rejoicing at the victory of the battle.
It is cruel how some can feel so lonely while surrounded by others. Law watches you sit by Nami, a small smile on your lips. Your eyes look distant, and while the glow of the fire shines warmly on your skin, your sadness outshines your soft beauty for once. It pains him. He hated to admit it. You were a weakness. You were a wound inflicted that refused to heal. There was no balsam or stitchwork he could perform himself to be rid of you.
He had come to terms with that. His only resolution was now to make you his. But how could he make you come to him when you were still obstinately tying yourself to someone who wanted nothing from you?
His pride had prevented him from seizing the moment before. Law blamed the alcohol in his veins for his sudden lack of inhibitions. It is not like him to stand up while there is a crowd and walk towards you. It is very unlike him to take the seat next to you, and ignore Nami’s presence even when she smiles at him knowingly. It is not like him to brush his knuckles against the hand you used to hold on to your drink, and it’s not like him to lean towards your ear.
His breath is warm against your earlobe. “You should smile more while he’s looking,” he says, a tinge of anger clipping his words. “Why are you letting him win like this?” These aren’t words you want to hear from him right now. So you turn your head, and glare at him. Law is taken aback, at first, surprised that you of all people could manage such an emotion. A smile slowly blooms on his lips. “I think your smile is beautiful but this expression?” He pauses to brush his knuckles up the side of your flushed cheek. It is warm and enticing. He wants to touch you more. “I like this one too.”
You should walk away. You don’t have the energy to deal with Law and his sudden affection, but his hand is warm when his fingers wrap around yours after taking your drink away. You follow him wordlessly as he leads you away. You hear Nami say something but don’t quite listen. She laughs and her giggling fades the further you make it from the party. Law leads you into a small storage room. You look around, unsure of where to stand or you should even be there.
Law leaves you no room to think further. His hands grip your small shoulders and he pushes you against the nearest wall. You smell wet wood, and grains. “We-we can talk without all of this, you know?” You say with as much courage as you can muster. Your face feels extremely hot. Your heart is racing, banging against your chest like war drums. 
“I know,” Law agrees, with a tilt of his head. His hands release your shoulders to fiddle with the obi of your kimono. Your hands find his, and you grasp them with shaking fingers. Law looks up at you. His eyes are usually the color of a setting sun but they are becoming darker and darker. 
“We keep it on? That’s fine too.”
You have no idea what he means, and you think about asking him to elaborate but his mouth presses against yours. You swallow the inhibitions loaded on your tongue. When he comes up for air, you try breathing. “What do you want from me?” you ask him. 
Law breathes noisily. He knew you were shy but seeing you squirm against the wall with his hands on your hips is too much for him to handle. The flush of your cheeks makes him want to kiss them over and over again. You’re peering at him through your lashes, and they flutter, offering him promises he knows you can’t keep.
“Give me tonight,” he answers finally, pulling your kimono off your shoulders to expose skin. He leans forward to drop a kiss; one on each shoulder. “If you still won’t come to me after tonight, I won’t bother you anymore.”
You swallow thickly as he kisses up the column of your neck. His lips are soft against your skin, forcing your eyes closed at the tenderness. You’re not sure if it’s because he is him, or because you are feeling particularly lonely but his touch makes you want to be reckless. You wrap your arms around his shoulders. 
“I’ll make you forget him,” he claims boldly, licking up the shell of one of your ears. You shudder in response, a rattling gasp settling in the back of your throat. 
“You can try,” you say and regret it the moment Law pulls away to look at you. There is a darkness behind his eyes that you can’t quite name. He gathers your face in his hands, and you try to mentally prepare yourself for the onslaught. His kisses are greedy, and sloppy. You never expected that lack of finesse from the Surgeon of Death. His teeth tug on your bottom lip, and the corners of your mouth as his hands move. They slope over your hips to your waist before traversing over your chest. He grabs your breasts, digging his inked fingers until you cry out. 
Pain or please, he isn’t sure but he doesn’t stop to find out.
The small storage room feels hot. You feel drops of sweat sliding down the back of your neck, disappearing somewhere down your back. Law has you gripped by the thighs, picking you up so he can press his hardened cock against your heated core. You hum in pleasure as he buries his face against your neck. His mission is clear. He plans to stake his claim, so he marks you, over and over, leaving small bruises with his name signed in blood. 
Law bites your chin, before groaning against your mouth. “I’m gonna put it in,” he announces but you still shout in shock when you feel his fingers smearing the slick around your folds. You still gasp when he presses his tip against your entrance. His eyes are on your face, looking for any signs of hesitation. You set your jaw in determination. 
“Hurry up,” you tell him in between ragged breathing. “You said you’d make me forget. So make me forget.”
You know better than to incite him, but the words slip out of your mind. You feel like a mad woman. There was a hole in your chest you desperately craved to fill, and you knew this is not the way. But you still toss your head back when he enters, and moan loudly. You still hum in pleasure as you clench around him, adjusting to his girth. The muscles of your belly contract at the jolts of pleasure when he starts moving his hips. You’re in a trance, sweat coating your breasts. You move your hips too, as best as you can, as he pounds into you.
“Should I fuck you harder?” he asks as he watches you, a frown on his face. You whimper, and bite down on your lip. You’re not sure what he means. Is this not hard? “You haven’t said my name yet. So I should definitely fuck you harder.”
Your grasp on his shoulders tightens just in time. Law is relentless. He snaps his hips savagely, time and time again. He is aware that you will bruise. He is aware that he should be a little softer, a little more gentle. He is aware when you cry out, when your nails dig through his clothing and into his skin, that you are reaching a point of no return.
He is aware but he can’t bring himself to stop. He desperately wants to hear you say it as you fall apart; only for him and no one else.
There is a heat swirling at the end of your belly. It circles and circles; a dragon trying to eat its own flaming tail. You shout when the heat builds, Law’s name shooting past the front of your teeth. He hisses as it catches in the thick air of the storage room. 
“That’s what I thought,” he spits through clenched teeth. You think he would let up, now that you were so close to your peak but he chases it after it blindly, savagely; all teeth and bloody claws. You cry out, time and time again, as pleasure ripples through you. You clench around him, and Law gives in. He kisses you deeply, tongue seeking out yours as he rides his orgasm, spilling inside you.
You feel hot wetness slip out from your puffy and bruised pussy.  “Did you forget him?” he asks you, kissing the apple of one cheek. You don’t answer him. You’re still somewhere up in the sky, floating; free falling. He bounces you up, adjusting your hips in his hands. The weight of the bounce startles you awake slightly. Your eyes are glazed over as you look at him and he laughs softly. “No? Should I try again then? We still have all night.”

after tonight ⋆ aokiji
Tumblr media
content & warnings: female reader, she/her pronouns, canonverse, reader is a marine and devil fruit user, (hoshi hoshi no mi - star star fruit) pre punk hazard arc, post film z, age gap cos what do u expect kuzan mf 50 and reader in her twenties its up to u if its late or mid but its defo not early lawl, pls pretend kuzan is regular tall not guinness world record tall, reader and kuzan have a past.
author’s note: this PAGE got me feeling things esp this art anyways i guess i wanted to make a fic since my mans barely gets appreciation he was lookin extra good in the accursed one piece film z *rubs temples* , it flips between aokiji because when he still was an admiral that’s what all the marines and pirates knew him as. as the reader is close to him and as he left the marines he’s just kuzan. even doe i do remember blackbeard pirates still referring to him as aokiji during dressrosa lawl
word count: 2.2k
It was an uninteresting town in the New World. No magnificent name. Pirates and marines alike passed through to get to a more relevant stop.
The town had many taverns and inns, you suppose that's what made it a popular gateway to the other stops.
It was nearly nightfall as you stood in the empty street, paved with cobblestones. You were surprised your target hadn't taken notice since you had been following him since you arrived on this dreary island.
The lights flickered, and the shops and buildings were all derelict and neglected.
Everybody in the town was winding down to hit the haystack minus a few bandits, pirates and thugs who were being raucous in the tavern, singing and squabbling.
His bicycle was shackled somewhere further from your current location, and he seemed to have frozen. Not facing you.
"My, my. I seem to have gotten a fan. I don't have a pen to autograph anything for you, unfortunately." He said, still not looking at you, tone unimpressed.
"Don't flatter yourself, Kuzan." You responded. He winced internally when he took note of how venom dripped from your voice when his name left your mouth.
"You sure HQ ordered you to follow me? I'm sure there are more pressing matters than to dawdle after me."
"No, this isn't an order from above. I'm going to kill you."
He let out a wry laugh, then finally gave you what you were expecting the entire time. Taking off his sunglasses and fixating his eyes on you.
He seemed to be going for an inconspicuous look with the knitted hat and a trench coat, all with browns and blacks.
It differed from the fleet admiral outfit. The coat that draped over his shoulders.
You never admitted it aloud, but you found the coat powerful. With the kanji for justice imprinted on it, it made the higher-up marines look striking.
Kuzan still looked dazzling, even if he went out of his way to keep a low profile. Seeing him just awoke thousands of emotions in you, coursing through your veins.
"You want to kill me?" He echoed, as he quirked a brow. "That is unbecoming of a marine, don't you think?"
"You're a rogue. I even heard you've joined that scum, Blackbeard, you should be the last person to talk about 'unbecoming', Admiral." You snorted. "Well, former Admiral."
He whistled.
"Low blow." He snickered. "You sure are the same firecracker that sucker punched me the day we met, huh?"
He outstretched his arms.
"Well. Show me what you got." He said, rather nonchalantly as he peeled off his coat and flung it onto the sand.
You were running on impulse. From the moment you set out to this island from your marine base to the second, he noticed your presence.
Nothing about this encounter was rational.
You were going into this hotheaded and erratic, as you launched yourself towards him, hand glowing with the activation of your devil fruit.
You meant to strike his chest with a supernova — a power from your fruit the Hoshi Hoshi no Mi but it began to fizzle out as your eyes took his angular features that the moonlight fell on and your resolve withered.
Nevertheless, in his protective stance, his legs outstretched, he countered your attempt at blasting him away and froze your right hand.
You scrambled back, jumping away and landing on the ground. The ice on your skin felt like tiny knives slitting and slicing the flesh. Your blood vessels were screaming for relief as the frostbite of Kuzan's attack strained its grip.
Icy tendrils began to creep over the surface of the cobblestones and cause the night air to drop to sub-zero temperatures.
Shaking your head in an attempt to regain your composure, you lunged at him once again.
"Think, think, think." You thundered to yourself.
You weren't like Akainu however, you still were Kuzan's natural counter. You could form the heat strong enough to melt his ice.
As you jumped high in the air, thanks to your agility, he immediately grasped your ankle and slammed you onto the layer of frost. As your skin was touching the ice, it began to crackle and encase you.
This was quickly becoming a futile battle. You were in over your head. He watched you like a hawk, an unreadable expression in his eyes.
You began to rise your temperature within your body. It took a toll on your mind but since it was a logia, it was a part of you. The thin sheet of ice began to trickle and drip on your skin.
You shot up as soon as you managed to free yourself from his oppressive and cruel frost and sprung at him. There wasn't a chance at this very moment to let your soft spot for him halt you.
-
You were suffering.
Regretting overexerting yourself on that mission. You knew you were capable but at the same time, you always had this incessant need to prove yourself in front of your superiors.
However, it backfired because the pirate got away, you injured yourself and received a verbal lashing from Akainu.
As terrifying as the man was, you were glad it was his barking and a spit shower compared to the unfortunate fate of other marines who had gotten up close and personal with his devil fruit powers.
Your eyes briefly met Aokiji, his atypical facial expression and hands shoved in his pockets.
He wasn't laughing at you but sometimes the way he just looked nonchalant contrasting to your over-the-top approach made you want to recoil in embarrassment.
The other admirals and marines probably saw you as a joke, especially when you tumbled on the ship and jammed your shoulder.
When you collided with the pirate, who sent you hurtling into the side of the ship, you wanted the ocean to swallow you whole so you wouldn't have to face the humiliation of your failure.
Maybe Aokiji meant well, but it was beyond shameful when he leaned down and gathered you in his arms, carrying you bridal style to the infirmary.
You could've sworn you heard snickers and jeering from the marine fodder since your skirt had ridden up.
You were turned to face the wall.
"Why are you here? I'm sure the whole ship saw Admiral Akainu's yelling, you here to yell at me some more?"
"When have I bothered to raise my voice at anybody?" Aokiji questioned in a wry tone.
You remained silent.
"Would you have carried me the same way if I were a man?"
"Would've flung you over my shoulder, perhaps." He said as he folded his arms and leaned back in his chair. "Why, you want to take a trip to the higher-ups?"
"No." You mumbled.
Silence hung over the two of you until he spoke up.
"It takes guts to do what you did back there. Most of them were laughing because they know at the first call of danger they're running, tail between their legs. So don't lay there and feel sorry for yourself."
You didn't respond, your back to him. You covered your mouth, desperate not to make a noise.
Brave, confident, outspoken.
You consider yourself to have these traits, and they were needed to be a marine.
However, since your promotion, to say your morale was in the gutter would be an understatement.
There were other female marine officers, Tashigi, Hina, and Tsuru to name a few, it was just so painfully lonely to be surrounded by chauvinistic assholes constantly.
He saw you again. He knew you cried that day in the infirmary.
As you walked towards him, to thank him and to apologise, the words were stuck in your throat. Your eyes struggled to meet his and a familiar tightness of your chest returned.
You felt a large hand settle on your shoulder, a thumb stroke your collar bone and he walked off.
He understood, despite your incessant hesitating.
You didn't miss the way your heart began to hammer against your ribs at his gentle touch.
-
It worked. The intense, burning supernova finally exploded into his chest and it sent him flying off his feet, colliding into a ramshackle, shoddy building.
The collision along with Kuzan's strength and strong build reduced it into rubble. You charged at him, once more to deliver a final blow but prompted to wrap your hand around his neck.
Something flickered in his eyes as you glared at him. Then it hit you. There was no way you could have taken Kuzan down that easily. The same man that handled Akainu for ten days?
The realisation clouded your thoughts with fury.
"I hate when you do this." You said, voice quaking with rage.
"When I do what?" He responded, hoarsely.
"When you go easy on me!" You cried out as your nails dug into the skin of his throat. "You pity me, you've pitied me since we first met and I can't bear it!"
Your grip on him began to falter and you released him. You peeled yourself off of him and dusted your clothes, covered in debris and dust.
"I did not go easy on you." He said, curtly as he propped himself up on his elbows. "I can't bring myself to hurt you. Even if it's by proxy."
He shook his head and gingerly stood up, slightly sore from the clash, massaging his side.
"I've never pitied you either. I've always admired you."
"So why did you leave?" You snivelled.
"That has nothing to do with you!" He said, voice raising. "If I left, you should've never chased after me!"
The lump in your throat was making it hard to speak. Your lungs felt constricted. You stared at him, giving him a long, pained look then turned to face elsewhere.
"You're right." You said, steeling yourself.
Kuzan shook his head and let out a heavy sigh as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"They kill marines here. Why do you think nobody else joined your little expedition?"
"I get it. I'll be on my way. I failed."
"It's not safe here, Y/N. Just come back with me to the inn. Leave tomorrow morning."
"You don't get to do that..." You said voice barely a whisper.
"Do what?" He questioned, bewildered at your eerie tone.
"Act as if you care about me when you vanished without a trace." You spat.
"Quit acting like a goddamn toddler. You're a Marine for god's sake, act like one."
"I'm sick of being a Marine. Working under that beast." You spat, referring to Akainu. "That's no way to live. No wonder you took off."
"I'm not discussing that with you, so just drop it." He said, tersely.
"Two options. Roam the streets like a stray until dawn until some fool comes to rescue you and is too late, or come back to the inn with me. Your choice." He said, waving a hand dismissively at you as he began to walk away.
-
The sight in front of you was upsetting, to say the least.
He was fresh out of the shower, in a towel. And in most circumstances that would've entailed something risqué. However, his entire skin was marred by scars.
His neck, his shoulder, his torso. The previously tanned skin was now pink flesh that looked as if it was burned. His left leg was gone. Now replaced by ice.
"...That battle on Punk Hazard."
"You look like you've seen a ghost." He snickered but the wry smile wiped off his face when he saw your reaction.
Tears were welling in your eyes, and your trembling hands reached to cover your mouth.
He said your name, calmly. Deducing how upset you were.
"That fucking bastard, how could he...?!" You finally mustered out, fighting the lump in your throat.
You reached out a hand to trace the soft pink flesh of the scar on the juncture of his neck, still unbelieving how disfigured the skin was.
Your subordinates were right. the lava versus ice fight that wrecked Punk Hazard was of course going to show on the two men.
You all had seen the scar on Akainu's face. But it seemed he'd gotten off lightly compared to Kuzan.
Discovering Kuzan had lost a leg was harrowing.
"You ever seen a few cuts and scars as a Marine?" He asked, with a hint of jest in his voice in an attempt to lighten the mood.
Much to no avail because your lip quivered as the tears rolled down your cheeks.
You sniffled and shook your head.
"Kuzan..."
It was a little ironic considering you had come to this island with the intention of 'killing' him. But the two of you knew deep down it was merely reactionary.
You felt betrayed when he left. You adored Kuzan, and you were his world. But that didn't exist in the world of pirates, marines, warlords and emperors. All romance was always bound to end in some sort of tragedy.
His heart felt like it was shredding. Nobody had cried for him in his life.
"Foolish girl." He sighed as he pulled you close to him, burying your face into his bare chest. He gently stroked your hair as you sobbed into his skin.
"How could this happen?" You choked out.
You tilted your head upwards to face him directly as he still had you nestled into him.
"I didn't go easy on him either, you know." He said, softly as he tucked some strands of hair behind your ear.
"As if that helps," You muttered, with a chuckle despite your tears.
author’s note:
its kinda dumb how miss reader wanted to attack him then ends up in a room with him nekkid but i guess thats the world of fanfics i suppose
my first one piece fic and it’s kuzan ☠️ oh well. tbh i love all the characters in their own way but he always will be my fave he’s so goofy and unserious but like he’s still one of the most interesting characters imo
my man, my man, my MAN 😹🙈
Tumblr media
its lowkey hard not to fall for him when you see how he always has good intentions at heart

Lawbin Dressrosa Analysis 1: Dating while handing over Caesar team
Finally, I finished re-reading dressrosa! It's probably one of my favorite arcs. Maybe top 3 haha The other two are probably Wano and Enies Lobby. The pacing in manga is definitely way better, so I actually enjoyed this arc more. I might missed something because I was too immersed into the story and sometimes I forgot to jot down notes lol But anyways, let's start!
As usual, things highlighted in purple are my delulus.
Warning: It's my personal blog so don't read it if you don't like lawbin, include lots of delulu :D
~LAWBIN ALLIANCE PHASE~ why can't I choose yellow on tumblr anymore?! :(
Chapter 700: Law hates bread
Tumblr media
Robin weird thoughts always live in my head rent free. I also like how most of the crew are complaining or interrupting Law but Robin (and Zoro) just listen to his plan. Of course it's also because their personality is similar (they mostly won't say anything unless something it's wrong), and I think they just trust Luffy hence they trust Law.
Tumblr media
I love the fact that Robin's favorite food is sandwich but Law hates bread!! It's gonna be a funny debate between them about bread!! >< I also find Robin and Zoro just follow their captain and ignore Law's plan are so funny. (Remember this, it's changing in the upcoming plot *wink*)
Chapter 701: Adventure in the land of love, passion and toys [This is the actual title of this chapter] That's kinda obvious is it? That's where all the love starts *smirk*
Tumblr media
Every time they are together is such a beautiful panel, (maybe I shouldn't said that people will say I ship them just for their aesthetic haha it's like that's a problem) The *aggressive* *calm* *calm* *aggressive* combo is also really interesting and entertaining, I can understand why Oda will choose Robin and Usopp to be Law's companion. Or maybe Law chose Robin himself to spend more time with her?! It didn't say how they assign the team but in any way, I'm sure Robin and Law realize they have similar personality. Robin even found Law's plan fun haha. Their mind just sync a lot and I think Law will appreciate to have Robin here because she's the only one that follow his plan without a complain lol. And from this point, Law & Robin started become a "I want to scare Usopp just for fun" team. (and also Caeser but I don't think they give a fk about him lol)
Chapter 705 ~ 711: Let's go to Greenbit
Tumblr media
Again, the aesthetic is just ~amazing~. I'm gonna compliment it regardless, they look good together and that's a part of why they have good chemistry to me. I'm not gonna deny it! And I like it so much that Robin and Law are sitting across each other, they can see each other clearly!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They really look like they are on a secret date together! >< (minus Usopp and Caesar I'm sorry) I saw a newspaper poster (made by a one piece theme park in Japan, but it's closed now) and this "news" was saying they found out Law and Robin secretly meeting? (I'm just guessing) Literally create my vision of them getting caught dating haha And I like how they share a lot of common knowledge - they know how dangerous CP0 is and recognize them is right away. At least I think most of the straw hats won't recognize and realize who they are.
Tumblr media
The small bickering they have are so cute, Robin isn't scared and she's super calm but she has her little complain that she expected fish to look like a fish (maybe that's the only complaint she has haha) and Law was like "Looks like a fish to me". It’s like she hates gum because she expects food can be swallowed.
Tumblr media
I'm always wondering who's Law talking to here haha because Robin & Usopp are the ones who fight the fish after but from where he's pointing, isn't look like he's talking to Caesar either. So maybe he's telling Robin don't need to worry? If that’s true, that means Law cared about her haha I feel like the whole time, he just want to talk to her and teasing Usopp only
~LAWBIN FRIENDS PHASE~
From this point, I think Law and Robin started to trust each other more and treated each other as friends. At least you can see their interactions are more friendlier. I will explain a little bit more later.
Tumblr media
They even sit together on the Caesar hot air balloon!! In my mind, it's probably Usopp scared to sit in the middle because he might fall and Law being a gentleman so he volunteered to sit in the center (less safe). If you think about it, this could be their date lol Going to a cafe, fight some fishes and sitting on a hot air balloon. Law planned the whole thing and Robin was like *I have fun with this* the whole time haha. Robin likes to explore and Law's hobby is wandering around. They just seem to get along so well together!
I think I already explained a few times that how they both get so investigative once they arrived at Greenbit they are so similary in lots of ways!! They both will analyze the situation and environment they are in.
Tumblr media
Robin can see through him so easily. She probably can figure out how he did it anyways And see how Robin changed her attitude so much?! From distrusting him and observing him a lot in Punk Hazard, and now she's teasing him. If she didn't get close with someone, she probably won't say anything and just observe. That's definitely a sign that she got closer with him and a friendly behavior.
Tumblr media
I like how Law already knew what each Straw Hat specialized with and ask them for help. And again, only Robin listened to Law. She looks like she enjoyed the adventure so much and I'm actually surprised Robin just followed Law here. I guess after Punk Hazard, she found he isn't a bad person so she just followed his plan. But also mainly because Luffy trust Law.
Tumblr media
The first thing Robin woke up is to think about how to contact with Law (and also care about Usopp of course) When I was reading the Greenbit part, I actually thought Robin is gonna tell Law where she is and he can use his ability to transfer him and Caesar to underground, so Doflamingo couldn't find them there haha. But my delulu didn't come true ;'(
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also saw a person said the reason why they ship lawbin it's because Law treat Robin differently than others. And here is one of the evidences, when he was talking to other straw hats, he usually just order them around lol and for Robin, he's like *help me using your intelligence skills* *ok I understand* it's just seems he is so much calmer in front of her, like they can actually communicate without arguing. I wouldn't say he cared about her but at least he is nice enough to say good luck to her too. Robin actually treat him differently than others too. She said "Good luck" to him, something I rarely seen Robin did to other people outside of straw hats and Robin worried about him a lot in this arc (again I'll elaborate later on, there is so much to talk in this arc omg ><!)
Tumblr media
When the whole Greenbit shaking, Robin worried about Law's fighting. Their relationship really change drastically here. Robin seems to care about Law a lot more. To be fair, I think the whole crew started to care about Law's safety in this arc a lot and of course it's natural to care someone that's an ally of you. But also if I really compare, Robin seems like she cared the most about Law maybe after Luffy.
Tumblr media
I actually think Law is so similar to Robin here. He really gave me the Enies Lobby Robin vibe here. In my perspective, I don't think he really meant to use straw hats at this point (definitely yes before tho), I think he told Doflamingo he is using them to try to protect them. So Doflamingo will think it's useless even he threaten Law he is going to kidnap the rest of the straw hats because Law said he won't care about them. (the mind games). Law and pre-time skip Robin are so alike, they always try to take all the responsibility to themselves or sacrifice themselves in order to protect others. Law didn't even bring heart pirates to here is just like when Robin pretend to be betray the straw hats in Enies Lobby sigh :(
If Law is really using the straw hats, he is gonna betray them once Doflamingo is defeated, but he kept his promise to defeat Kaido. That's one of the reasons why Law is one of my favorite characters, even he looks so unbothered and sometimes mean on the outside, his actions always tell the opposite >///<
And it’s cute that during Dressrosa, Robin is the one who cares about Law a lot and once they get into Wano the situation switched haha the feelings are mutual!!!!
That's it for today! Thank you for reading! <3 I think I have talked too much again lol I will probably start writing about the rest of the arc soon! Hopefully I can finish writing the whole arc under 2 parts! (probably not) I actually have something to write about my thoughts on other ships during dressrosa, uhm maybe I will briefly talk about it next one.

Warnings/Content- Law almost burns your house down, Light cursing, Angst (Abandonment issues), Modern day content and references, Mentions of violence, Driving without a license (Guess who) , Mentions of suggestive music and suggestive content.
Enjoy ʕ •ᴥ•ʔゝ☆
Tumblr media
 
The smell of something burning jolted you from your peaceful dreams. Oh no. You jump up from the bed and run to the spare bedroom Law was in.
 “Law get up!” You slam the door open only to see the bed neatly made. He’s not here.
 “ROOM.” You faintly Law’s voice.“SHAMBLES.” In the blink of an eye you were in the smoke filled kitchen standing beside an irritated Law.
 “What happened?” There were a bunch of ingredients out on the countertops and a frying pan that had flames erupting from it. “OH HELL.” You grab the pan and run it over to your kitchen sink. More smoke fills the kitchen as the fire is doused by water. Crisis averted. “Law are you okay?” 
 “Yeah, but I can't say the same about the eggs." You could tell from his tone and flushed cheeks that he was embarrassed beyond belief. “I wanted to return the favor since you cooked for me last night, but…” He points over to your laptop that sat on the kitchen table. “I got carried away, I’m truly sorry Y/N.” 
 “Accidents happen, don’t worry about it. As long as you're okay.” You look at the pan and see no trace of egg, just a inciarated mass stuck to the bottom. “I can’t tell you how many times I’d put a pizza in the oven and forget about it. Needless to say, I've about burnt my house down plenty of times. Don’t sweat it.” Law seems grateful that you're not angry with him. “I’ll go out and get us something to make. I need to grab a few more things anyway since you’ll be here for a while!”
 “Mind if I go with you?”
 “Surel. I’ll go get ready and I’ll be right back down.”
~~~~
 “What’s this?” Law points at your parked car.
 “It’s my ‘ship’ so to say. But it’s actually called a car!” You unlock the doors with the remote, causing the headlights to blink. “In this world there are plenty of things used for transportation.  We have trains that can go across the entire country, metros in the larger cities, and even airplanes that can take you just about anywhere in the world!”
 “Wow.” His lips were slightly parted in awe. “What’s its name?”
 “Umm.. The Honda civic?” Law does a few circles around the car, surveying the unfamiliar vessel. He’s so cute. “Wait until you see the inside!”  You get into the car followed by Law.
 “I won’t lie.” Law watches as you start the engine up.. “This is pretty cool.” 
 “It is. Not to mention it's also really good on gas and in this world that says a lot because gas prices are crazy expensive and-” You look over and see Law paying you zero attention. He was too busy playing with the AC buttons to listen to your economic rant.
~~~~
 You drive down the road as Law plays with every button in the car. It was understandable, because if you ever ended up on his ship you’d explore it top to bottom. I’ve got an idea!
 “Let me show my favorite thing about the car.” You click the button that turns the radio on. The familiar upbeat pop song puts a smile on your face. “I love this song!” Word for word you sung the lyrics not caring one bit about the fact Law was right beside you. When the song ended you glance over at him to see his face was red all the way to the tips of his ears. “Law are you okay?”
 “Are lyrics like that normal?” Reality hit you. You had just sung a very suggestive and raunchy song right in front of him. You join him in blushing. I wonder what kind of face he’d make if I played WAP?
~~~~
 “So this is It.” You lock your car door and point at the blue and beige building. “Walmart~This is where you can get just about anything. Food, clothes, hygiene products, gifts, you name it, they got it.”
 “Wow…” He let out a low whistle. You smile at his bewilderment and continue walking in.
 “If you're surprised now just wait until you see the insi--” Your words get stuck in your throat when a car starts to back up right in front of you. It was pulling out too fast for you to react.
 “Y/N!” It felt like your life flashed before your very eyes. The car was inches away from hitting you, but a pair of strong arms pulled you away before it could.
 “Watch where you're walking dumbasses!” The person in the car reaches a hand out to flip you and Law off before speeding away.
 “I’ll kill that bastard.” Law grits his teeth as he holds your trembling body closer to him. It took you a moment to process that you almost got killed. 
 “It’s okay Law.” You look up at him with watery eyes. “I’m a little shaken up, but I’m not hurt and killing people is very frowned upon here.” His grip on you loosens so you can pull back. You wipe the forming tears out of your eyes. “It would be pretty embarrassing for my death to have been in a Walmart parking lot, so thanks for saving me.” You joke, trying to lighten the mood.
 “I’m glad you're alright. Still…..” 
 “It's alright Law. Let’s go on in.” Trying to change the subject, you take a few steps forward but stop when an arm wraps around your back.
 “Stay close to me in case something like that happens again.” Law must have sensed your nervousness, the angry look was replaced by his signature smirk. “But if it does I can’t make any promises on whether or not I’ll let them live.”
 ~~~~
 “This place really does have everything.” You watch as Law soaks in all of the surroundings.
 “It sure does.” You hum. “Feel free to grab whatever you want.”
 You and Law walk around without any rhyme or reason. From time to time he would stop to look at something. Your favorite thing so far is when he saw a one piece t-shirt. You could tell he was a little salty about him not being on it. 
 “Y/N.” Law leans down to grab your attention. “Why are people staring?” You look around the aisle and see that people were indeed fact staring and you knew why.
 “Your really handsome Law so of course people are going to stare.” Crap I said that outloud?
 “So you think I’m handsome Y/N?"
 “Was the shirtless figure and stories I've written about you not enough proof?” You playfully nudge your hip into his side.
 “Oh it was.” His eyes lock onto your blushing face. “But what makes you think they aren’t staring at you?” 
 “When I say this please know I’m not fishing for compliments. But for this world I’m nothing special.” You open one of the freezer section doors to retrieve a pint of ice cream. “I don't think I've mentioned, but the beauty standards in this world are quite high.”
 “Looks aren’t everything Y/N. But I think you're pretty. And weirdly charming.” The pint of ice cream in your hand almost falls into the floor. Law just called me pretty and (weirdly) charming?  “Plus you're a good person. Although I don’t know much about you yet, that much I can tell.” He grabs the ice cream from your hands and puts it in the cart.
 “Thanks.” You have to turn away to hide the giddy smile plastering your face.
 Little did you know Law could see your wide smile thanks to the reflection of the freezer's glass door. How cute
 ~~~~
 The next morning
 You woke up on the couch with Law sitting on the other end. That’s right, we stayed up watching a medical drama. He was looking at  something on your laptop with an evil smirk. What did he find this time?
 “That’s a pretty sinister look you got going on Law?” You poke his leg with your foot to get his attention. He turns his head before spinning the screen towards you.
 “I could watch this all day.” You squint your eyes to read the video's title. ‘Doflamingo getting his ass kicked to dubstep music- 10 hour loop.’ “I wish it was me in all honesty, but I do enjoy seeing that bastard get his ass handed to him by Strawhat.”
 “I’m sure you do.” You refrain from laughing. It was hilarious seeing how satisfied he looked every time Luffy’s foot kicked the side of Doflamingo’s head. “Want to know something kind of funny Law?” He pauses the video and nods. “So there was an episode in the Dressrosa arc titled "Law Dies - Luffy's Raging Onslaught!”. When I saw the title I started balling my eyes out. I thought you were going to die.” It is funny to you now, but back then you were going through all the stages of grief at once.
 “I thought I was going to die back then too.” Law shuts the laptop and places it back on the coffee table. “But, I’m glad I didn’t. It’s not what he would have wanted.” 
 “You're talking about Cora, aren’t you?” Law nods. 
 “Yeah, I am.” A bittersweet smile forms on Law’s lips. “He was my savior. He got me out of a dark mindset. I owe everything to him.” He turns his head to face you. “Did you ever have anyone like that in your life?”
 “Well if I’m being honest.” Not one real person comes to mind. Everyone in your life has left or abandoned you. But there was still someone who got you through some hard times. “As odd as this may sound, It’s kinda you.” His eyes widened at your declaration. “You are my favorite character for a reason. There’s been many times I’ve had a bad day and seeing you would make me feel better. It's weird to explain but someone told me once that humans in my universe can’t tell the difference between real people and fictional people. Our brains process them as if they were real. So it’s probably the reason why…” 
 “Well I am real.” Law held his hand up. His words remind you that the character you adore is literally a few feet away from you in the flesh. You scooch over to him and bring your hand up to his. “See?” You smile feeling his warm hand against yours. “I may not be from this universe, but I’m still real and I will always be.” 
 “Yeah. You're right.” You pull your hand away and wipe a few tears from your eyes. 
 “Are you crying?” Law asked with concern in his voice.
 “Yeah, but I’m okay.” They weren't sad tears, they were more tears of relief and comfort than anything. “Fun fact about me, I cry easily.” You laugh and dry the rest of the tears off with your sleeve. “I’m sorry I dampened the mood, but I do have an idea to lighten it. And I think you’ll like it.”
 “What do you have in mind?”
 “I say me and you go out.” He shoots you a smirk as if to say ‘go on’. “Have you ever had hibachi?”
~~~~
 Seeing how cute you look in the mirror brought a smile to your face. Since you were going out with Law you got a little dressed up for the occasion .You went with a (F/C) dress that compliments your body's shape and a cute pair of sandals. After one last glance over you walk downstairs to wait on Law.
 You walk to your front door only to see Law already dressed and waiting for you. He turns around to face you and Oh my God.. To say he looked good would be such an understatement. He wore the dark maroon button up you got him with the sleeves rolled up, exposing his arm tattoos. He also had on the jeans you secretly wanted to see him wear. They may look like a simple pair of black jeans, but the silver chains decorating his thighs made them stand out.
 “Are you ready to go?” Law waves his hand in front of your face in an attempt to snap you out of your trance.
 “Oh right.” Judging from the smirk on his face, he knew you were checking him out. It’s not my fault you look like a model. “Let’s go.” You grab your car keys and purse before heading out the door.
~~~~
 “Here we are!” You got out of the car with Law and stood in front of the restaurant. “Are you ready?” 
 “Of course I am.” 
~~~~
A few moments later…
 “Y/N why is the food on fire?!” Law leans back in his chair as if the flames were going to get him. I thought you were ready?
 “It’s okay Law.” You place your hand on his back. “I’ll protect you from the big bad onion volcano.”
 “Is he okay?” The hibachi chef laughs seeing how skittish Law was.
 “Yeah he's fine." You laugh and give Law a few pats on the back. "He acts like he’s not from this world or something.”
 “Here.” The chef held up the bottle filled with sake in front of Law. “A little something to calm your nerves.” He hesitates for a moment but opens, letting the chef send the sake right into his mouth. The chef stops once Law’s mouth is full and goes right back to cooking. His golden eyes stare into your soul as he swallows the liquid in one gulp. That was kinda hot. He wiggles his index finger, motioning you to lean closer to him.
 “I hope teasing me was worth it.” His voice was low in your ear. What does that mean? “And the sake in your world sucks.”
 You spend the rest of your (last) meal thinking just what diabolical thing Law was going to do to you. Is he going to chop my body up? Or maybe he’ll take my voice box? Or…
 “Y/N are you ready to go?” Law’s voice pulled you from your thoughts.
 “Oh yeah.” You stood up with Law. “Thank you for the food, it was delicious!” 
 “You're welcome. I hope you and your boyfriend have a goodnight!” You and Law look at each with wide eyes, but neither you or him corrected the man.
 ~~~~
 “So did you like the food?” You buckle up and turn the engine on. Please don’t kill me.
 “I did, but don’t think for a second that I forgot about you teasing me.” Your body freezes up at his words. I wonder what kind of flowers will be at my funeral?  “ROOM.” Your eyes slam shut. Goodbye cruel world..  “SHAMBLES.” You open your eyes to see you're still alive and intact, but you are now in the passenger seat. 
 “Law! You don’t know how to drive?” You panic seeing him put the car in drive. “That and you don’t have a driver's license? What if we get pulled over?” 
 “Sure I know how, I’ve watched you do it enough to figure it out.” Law gives the car a little gas. “And what’s the big deal of not having a license and getting pulled over?”
 “Umm I don’t know Law, maybe it’s the fact WE'D GET ARRESTED.” Your eyes watch his every move like a hawk. 
 “Have you forgotten I’m a pirate Y/N? Plus I have the advantage over everyone in this world.” He was right. No one could stop Law with his devil fruit power. “So relax. It will be okay.” You roll your eyes at his nonchalant attitude.
 “Fine. Just be careful.” Law smirks triumphantly and continues driving. Despite your initial fear, Law was actually a good driver. His movements were smooth and calculated, very fitting for his character. He was gentle with the brakes, (And unlike most drivers) he used the turn signals. You can’t help but be jealous seeing how he was a true natural.
 “Aren’t you going to sing?” Law gestures towards the radio. 
 “Do you want me to?” You raise your brow suspiciously.
 “Yeah I do. Maybe something different this time though.” He smirks remembering all the dirty words that came from your mouth the other day.
 “Sure, let me hook my phone up.” You plug your phone in and scroll through your playlist. A smile forms on your lips seeing the title of your favorite slow songs. The soft melody comes through the speakers as you sing. 
 In that moment Law didn’t care if you sounded like an angel that had freshly ascended from heaven or if you sounded like two pieces of metal grinding together. He was just happy to hear you doing something you enjoy. 
So she likes to sing?
~~~~
 It had been a few days since you and Law went out. In that time you’ve grown more comfortable with each other. He’s opened up to you about things from his past, even telling you things that the show never went over. He also told you all the stories from his early years of being a pirate and how he met Bepo and the rest of the crew. With that being said you’ve also been spilling more details about yourself. Everything from embarrassing stories from your childhood, the questionable things you did as a teenager and even a few funny stories from your current adult life. 
  Despite all the fun your having, your heart hurts knowing you only have a little time left with Law.  Having him around reminded you how nice it was to have someone to talk to. But when he's gone… I need to live in the moment and quit thinking about what’s to come.
"You seem lost in thought Y/N." You turn your attention to Law who's sitting at the other end of the couch. "What's on your mind?" You.
"It's nothing." You lie and go back to scrolling through your phone.
"You really think I'm going to buy that?" Law made his way over to you and took your phone from your hands."Talk to me."
"Well." Your eyes stray away from his fierce gaze. "I was just thinking about how boring things are going to be when your gone."
"Way to kill the vibes Y/N." You laugh hearing Law copy your lingo. "But I've been thinking about some things myself."
"What's on the surgeon of deaths mind?"
“I do go back to my world in two days...” His tone turns serious. “And you’ll be alone again and the thought of that has been bothering me.” You frown. I know I will. “With that being said. I need you to promise me that you will go out and try to make some friends." His request floors you. The painful memories of people leaving you and abandoning you come flooding in, but a tattooed hand pulls you out before you can drown. "Things may not work out at first but keep trying. I'm sure there are people out there that are just as weird and dorky as you." Law teases to clear the building tension in the room.
 “Is there something wrong with me being weird and dorky?" You give Law a heavy dose of side eye.
"Actually." Law leans in a little closer to you ear. "I like it." You could feel his hot breath against the shell of your ear. "I like it alot." He blows into you ear causing you to jerk away from him.
You retreat to the far end of the couch while nervously watching him. "Are you done teasing me?" The devilish smirk on his face said it all. His tattooed hand grabs a pillow placing it next to him. "Law what are you doing?
"Whatever I want to." "ROOM." Dammit. "SHAMBLES." Your body takes the pillows spot next to Law. "Now." Your heart felt like it was going to leap from your chest as he lazily wraps a arm around your shoulders. "Do you think you can keep that promise?"
"Yeah, I will. But only if you stop teasing me." A satisfied hum comes from Law hearing your answer.
"Good. And in what way am I teasing you?" Law tries to sounds innocent knowing full well the affect he has on you. "Also you might want to breathe before you black out."
"My breathing is just fine. thank you." I need to calm down.
"Your a bad liar Y/N." You were about to defend yourself but every function in your body stopped working as his fingers ghost around to the side of your neck. "But this tells me everything I need to know." Two fingers tap over your pulse point. "Tachycardia is a very dangerous condition if left untreated, luckily for you I'm a Doctor~"
"Well Doctor, what is the cure for it?" You say sarcastically.
"ASMR videos of people cutting soap should do the trick. " He grabs the laptop from the coffee table and pulls up youtube. "Just so you know my medical expertise comes at a high cost and I expect you to pay in full." You roll your eyes and relax against his chest.
"Just bill my insurance."

INTERLUDE IN BLUE MOON
Synopsis: There's just more to him than meets the eye.
❧ Relationship: Vinsmoke Sanji x female reader
❧ Content: fluff
Heads Up: Some mentions of Water Seven, Gyojin, and WCI arcs, although I tried my best to censored everything, I think some are just necessary to mention for the sake of the gist of the story. Therefore, if you still haven't reached the aforementioned arcs then be aware of the spoilers! Anyway, you may proceed however you like.
A/N: Just popping from my cave to post this sudden impulse of writing something. This was requested by a friend, and I thought that I might also post it here. Still the same routine: errors are to be expected and I might get back to them once I'll welcome the vacation with a warm hug.
I hope you enjoy! :D

It was the aftermath of the storm, an evening of silence through the series of bloodshed that was still around the corner. The recent happenings to your group had left you lost for words, there were no nights that made you wonder about different aspects of becoming a pirate. Although there are evenings of celebrations with the other Straw Hat Pirates, still there are times that you’re seeking for something calming – soothing in a way that it leaves yourself at ease for the uncertainty of tomorrow.
When death comes knocking at your door and eventually leaves without taking your soul — it leads you to contemplate things. Regardless, none of those thoughts made you feel remorse but rather it deluges you in bothering what-ifs. As much as you despise such notions, it just keeps haunting you in circles.
You volunteered to be the watcher for the night, and it is a good way for you to savor the harmony of the ambience before it turns into a raucous morning led by the captain. Everyone is tired from the skirmish caused by the firmness of your group to take back a member. In the grasps of the Yonkou – Big Mom is where all of you almost had your death, every time you tried to swallow the fear of recalling those seconds it just makes you shiver in fear.
It was a nerve-wracking experience, to say the least.
“When you’re absorbed with musing, isn’t it better if you would have some dessert to go along with it?”
You followed the source of the voice only to see the person whose presence you’ve come to miss since the division of the group at Dressrosa.
“I hear you,” you chortled, straightening your seat.
The atmosphere of The Sunny has always been home to you, but when the unexpected departure of one of your nakama the ship has been stale, everyone felt the despair of having a missing crew.
You helped him with the tray he carried and placed it beside you; there it was – your favorite drink and dessert, freshly made by the ship’s cook.
Before you could utter something, Sanji sat beside the tray that is placed in between you two. “… And of course, a company for hearing the penny of your thoughts.”
Amused by his confidence in wooing women, you chuckled. Of all those he had shown affection, you were one of those less women who would pay no heed about it, although sometimes, Nami would smack Sanji for you.
“Aren’t you supposedly resting?” you turned to the food he brought, “I know how tired everyone is – including you, so have your rest. A storm is brimming, and you must have all the rest that you can get.”
“Leaving you here, alone? No way, I cannot allow that.”
Apart from his respect and admiration towards women, you know how persistent Sanji is, especially when it comes to his nakama he’s always attentive, but an exception comes around typically when it is mainly about the green haired swordsman – Zoro, whom he never fails to show his unequivocal antagonism. He’ll save everyone if you and the rest are drowned on the sea but as long as someone is still there to save Zoro’s ass, then he’ll enjoy his cup of tea before the pleasurable view of Zoro’s struggle.
“Sanji,” picking the cup of coffee, your gaze fixed at him. “I can handle myself very well. Sunny is safe with me, I assure you.”
Leaning against the foremast, Sanji hums – acknowledging your claims. “I know but it wouldn’t hurt to accompany a lady, would it?”
Instead of arguing, you just let him with his desire. There is no point in rejecting his kindness, you are not going to win especially when he sets his mind on it. It has always been like this whenever you’re on patrol for the night, Sanji would accompany you — not that you despise it, as-a-matter of fact, his presence is relaxing to be around. Contrary to his usual demeanors around women, Sanji is a sensible person to talk to — a fact that you have come to notice for quite some time.
“You could simply say that you missed my company,” a soft tittered escaped from you.
Sanji laughs at your plain-spoken character; he has always been fascinated with your outspoken behavior. Most times, it stupefies him but in a good way; you can leave him gob smacked for all he cares.
“Touché,” he surrenders.
Every night when Sanji troubles himself to stay awake just to accompany you - was also the time that the two of you would talk over things that aren’t relevant to the adventures and plans of the crew. It can be the simplest: what would you be if Luffy didn’t invite you to be part of the crew? Or how vast the sky is compared to the deepness of the sea —to the concept of rationality when it comes to practicality.
Tucking a hair behind your ear, you glanced at the sky with myriads of stars that shared your calmness. “Even the sky just seems to be at ease of everything; I hope it is a portent to what’s waiting for us at the Land of Wano.”
“Does it scare you?”
“Ahuh,” you replied, still admiring the view above. “I don’t know what will happen, but I know we will survive…” lowering your gaze, a hint of fragility was evident through your eyes. “But there is nothing that horrifies me the most with the idea of having an incomplete crew.”
At the sight of fear from your eyes, Sanji recalled how you bawled your eyes to sleep back at the events in Water Seven, and how you were shaking as you tried to compose yourself with the idea of Usopp and Luffy’s fight. In addition to that, were his sudden departure and the confrontation between Luffy. It wasn’t just the navigator whom he scared; apart from Nami, you were shaken down to your core with the happenings that weaved out before your eyes. Unlike with your friend’s reaction, all you could do was to witness everything as your feet were glued to the ground — allowing yourself to shut down.
Sanji breaks the eye-contact, “I’m sorry,” he says. He couldn’t usher himself to look at you — knowing all too well how fragile you are when it comes to the crew. He knew how you suffered back at Water Seven, and he knows how heavy it was for you – along with the rest– to endure all those times of taking him back.
“Let’s not talk about the things that should be buried under the ground.”
Sanji’s eyes were still pierced on the ground. He and Nami already had a talk back at the island, but you on the other hand were not around in those times — trapped and ironically safe in the mirror world where you were located, with the unwavering hope of leaving the island with an accomplished agenda.
This was the first night of conversing in a talk with Sanji since taking him back from the Yonkou.
“I’m just glad that you’re back to us.”
Widened eyes, you met Sanji’s expression with a smile brimming with tenderness. It stayed like that for a while before a liquid in shade of red slowly came out of his nose and blasted him from his seat.
“I-I c-can’t… w-w-with the grandeur before m—” blood splats as he tried to recall how you were beaming with elegance, he was holding onto his bloody nose and kneeling on the ground, taken by your sight. “T-this is too… much.”
From your seat, you just chuckled at his comedic reaction. Really, you couldn’t stand men fawning over you whenever you docked at an island, but with the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, you could let it slide.
Later on, when he finally regains composure and you stopped teasing him, afraid that he might suffer from loss of blood (and to prevent everyone from panicking, especially Chopper, since he has a rare blood), there was a long silence between the two, only the clinking of utensils against the plate and the sound of crumpling wrapper. Savoring the sweetness of the dessert, you turned to the person beside you with a spoon still in your mouth. A sudden frown crossed your face, it was an odd sight and for sure if the crew would see what you just saw, they would be mouth agape.
Sanji was eating a candy–mint with a wrapper crumpled in his hands. Unaware with the pair of eyes fixated at him, you seized the opportunity to study his bearing. It just then hits you, a gesture of him that he does whenever he’s with you, or that you’re near him.
“Why are you not smoking?” you popped up, tilting your head with an innocent look. “It always puzzles me how you never bring a cigar with you whenever we talk…” you placed your palm on his forehead – feeling his temperature. “You’re not sick either… should I ask Chopper to look after you?”
“Don’t you like the smell of cigarettes?”
Sanji has thought about it a lot of times, he notices how you gently waved your hand in the air when the smoke of his cigarette comes in contact with you. As he tries to understand you further, he has come to learn that you were never a fan of cigarettes, but you never said anything about it, making you almost too good for everyone. Therefore, he had to stay far from you, because Sanji knew that you would not say anything about it.
Although when he finally noticed it, unfortunately–for– him, Zoro also knows about it which explains why the green head would ask for your assistance (even if it wasn’t necessary) or he would call you just to make the cook stay as far away as possible. Because Zoro knows that Sanji would do anything for a woman, but sometimes their not–so–subtle bickering would end up a smack from Nami, one scenario was when the time — out of annoyance, Sanji blew all the smoke from his cigarette towards Zoro’s face which well… resulted in another fight.
Regardless of how Zoro makes you his human shield, Sanji is still willing to compromise for your sake, and by all means with the intent of getting back at the swordsman.
You nodded, contemplating as you held the cup of coffee he placed on top of the wooden bench that encircled the mast, “I don’t, yes — but I could make an exception,” you simply quipped, making a tight-lipped smile at the cook.
“And I could do the same,” he says before turning to the sky, savoring the mint flavor of the candy that he stole at the island where his nakama picked him.
If anyone ever knew the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates, they would answer three things: a great (worthless — Zoro’s description) cook, strong, and definitely he has a thing for women. Although some of it is true, in your eyes there's more to it — more than what everyone can ever think.
He has things for women but the shades of him are thick enough to be confused on who he truly is; Vinsmoke Sanji has never said anything a thing or two about it. Under the hue of the blue moon, he carefully took your hand and guided you to explore his identity in every possibility. This interlude from the imminent uncertainty of life allows you to see the different perspective of the picture because amongst everyone, in your presence is where Sanji's cards are exposed.

You know, when you can't find exactly what you are looking for while searching for fanfictions and you just go "Fine, I'll do it myself"?
Well, I do it, with my OC's AND fanfictions hahahaha.
Sometimes I crave for something that I cannot find, like, one day I was searching platonic fanfictions between Brook and Sanji and it is sooo hard to find some that are finished and not...well, not ship and all.
Now, it's the same for genshin. I have played the archon quest and Neuvillette's story quest, I loved both, really they were amazing.
I don't regret pulling for Neuvillette (and I got his weapon, lucky me) but now?? After everything? My brain just won't stop thinking about the next part (stop reading if you haven't done the archon quest, spoilers are coming) and of different "what if" that could happen in the next version. Like, what if Furina wasn't only one person, that she's not the real hydro archon after everything Arlecchino told us and, I know many like Furine but I don't, she's not even able to tell us what her emergency plans are in case of a catastrophe. Right now I have more faith in Arlecchino, Neuvillette, Wrio (I have still now idea on how to write it by myself), Lyney, Lynette, Freminet, Clorinde, EVERYONE BUT Furina. She can't take responsibility when things go South and it's driving me almosy crazy.
Anyway, I also think about everything that could happen to Neuvillette. Like, what if he's the only hope and he sacrifices himself in order to save everyone? What if Wrio do the same because this guy has more solutions than the archon herself and that's actuelly insane (he is building a SHIP to save people, he is holding the seal of the primordial sea, he is the one holding the front line in this mess and he does it alone most of the time).
And don't get me started with Childe. Hell, that man is not even in my top 5 but I'd do anything if it means saving him right now. I know when a character is a good one, and Childe certainly is. What the hell is he doing in the primordial sea?! What was that giant thing he saw? To me it looked like a dragon, its shape was similar to Dvalin's if I remember well. And I don't care, I'm not lettong Childe die. He's not even guilty for what he was accused! Sure, he is a criminal and clearly not the kindest person here, but will he ever kidnapp people, hurt children?? That man straight up lied to his little brother in order to protect his innocence and the image he has of his big brother, I can't believe he would do that.
I can't even tell you how clearly I can see the pictures of what I've been thinking about since I finished the archon quest. It's so vivid, and I see Neuvillette standing up, tall and proud in front of a massive wave, taller, wider and stronger than the one in the forteress. He cannot do it alone with his actual power and then, Clorinde, Wrio, people who can fight join him and face the wave and that's just... Maybe I was influenced by Dressrosa Arc by a lot because everyone working, fighting together is just so wholesome and powerfull that I need to see it happen in genshin.
Well, than you for reading all of this. Don't hesitate to share with me what you've been thinking about the quest!

Some time after the Dressrosa Arc...
Luffy: Gramps, we need to talk.
Garp: Yeah?
Luffy: I've met with a guy who claimed that you ruined his life by punching his head hard enough to damage his drill.
Garp: Oh yeah, Chinjao! How is he doing?
Luffy: Well, he tried to make me pay for your sins.
Garp: Haha, classic Chinjao!
Luffy: Gramps, this is serious! He insisted on killing me for what you have done!
Garp: Well, that's life, my boy. If you lucky, your enemies will, too, try to make your grandchildren pay for what you have done.
Luffy: Anyways, I've told him: "So gramps punched you really hard in the head. Big deal! He was punching me countless times when I was little!" And then I fixed his head with haki.
Garp: That was probably a good call, my boy.

The other day I saw someone say that the plot of Bleach is mainly driven by the distrust and lack of belief in their friends’ character most of the main cast has in their friends, some examples being Chad and Orihime thinking that Ichigo will run away from the war if given the choice when Urahara told him to do what he believes is best despite Ichigo giving them no reason to doubt him And uryuu not telling anyone what he was doing with yhwach and the other Quincy despite obviously knowing before hand, thus making bleach very different then most shounen around the time it was created, given that those were driven by the trust and friendship the main characters had in one another. Even Ichigo himself refuses to rely on others, a fact of his character that’s made obvious in the arrancar arc where he think Rukia and Renji won’t go to heuco mundo with him to save Orihime and even refuses Ishida and chad’s help at first
and for some weird reason my mind has been fixated on a crossover between one piece and bleach where ichigo and Rukia end up in the one piece world
this is basically an AU where aizen attacks again after yhwach’s gone and everything goes kinda bad
ichigo ends up on an island near punk hazard three years before canon and five years before the timeskip (I’m making it up on the go). The island is a black smithing place where Mihawk’s Yoru and several other swords were made. Not going into details but it’s basically ruled by a tyrant and based of something in mythology
Rukia ends up at a revolutionary because a) I think she’s a great contrast to Sabo since she went from street kid to noble while sabo did the opposite and b) she’s a soldier in a corrupt military organization, the irony of having her end up with ppl who directly oppose an organization similar to the one she served, and being forced to acknowkedge the twisted corruption of the marines, a military organization headed by nobles. sound familiar? (Central 46 and the Gorosei)
like she technically knows that the soul society aren’t exactly the good guys they’re just the lesser evil most of the time so yeah, I think it’d be a great character arc also I think her sabo and koala would be a cool trio
you know what’s even more fun, neither of them have their original shinigami powers (yes, I nerfed them but I kinda have the reason why planned). They have their base swordskills and stuff but none of the fancy powers they had before, No zanpakuto, no kido. Just the basics.
They spend the next like five years adjusting, learning haki and or in Ichigo’s case, learning how to make a sword from the man who made Mihawk’s sword after making a deal to save the island from the tyrant
I love him and the weirdly fast way he learns everything so I’m applying it to this, where he wants to learn how to make a sword because none of the ones he tries feel right in his hands and he wants zangetsu back but obviously doesn’t have him so he goes about making a sword and eventually manages it after like four years
rukia on the other hand, gets her hands on a devil fruit in the second year since her arrival there— the cold cold fruit, the opposite of that Oven dude in Whole Cake Island. Obviously she eats it and learns how to use it. She’s not too creative with it at first because she misses Sode No Shirayuki but after a while she breaks that habit. The awakening would be something like her bankai because I love it and I really love her ice vibe. Also once again contrast to sabo’s flame flame fruit
blah blah blah, timeskip stuff happens and the straw hats, Law, and our favourite samurai hitch hikers get caught in a storm on the way to dressrosa and get blown into Ichigo’s island. More blah blah blah stuff that I haven’t planned and then Ichigo joins them. anyways back to my original point, the straw hats trust each other in a really great way like yes, they’ve had some bumps here and there but they would trust each other with their life AND lay down their lives for one another in the blink of an eye and that’s like a direct contrast to relationships in bleach and I think Ichigo would probably benefit from the knowledge that there are ppl that fully trust him and that he can also put his trust in
some one said in another post that luffy doesn’t have daddy issues, he has daddy solutions because he makes everyone’s daddy issue go away and Ichigo needs that shit on his life
also I think it would be really cool that since Ichigo’s whole life had been surrounded by the idea of death and a large part of his character arc in bleach is accepting death as part of life and finally moving on from his mother’s death, it would be another great character arc for him to genuinely start living his life as he likes and Luffy, the embodiment of freedom and working towards achieving your dream so you can live your life without regrets, is the best person to make Ichigo finally start living his life
this part is pretty much AU and kinda based off a fic but Ichigo’s dream in this AU would have to do with his fascination with languages and that he wanted to see the whole world to explore it and soothe the itch to run into the unknown headfirst. Pretty much wanderlust ichigo + language nerd ichigo
since he’s a blacksmith/sword smith as well, his conversations with zoro, Franky, nami, and robin would be cool plus his dad is a doctor so he’d have some medical knowledge as well so he and chopper would get along
also how could I forget the man himself, soul king brook? Brook knows there’s something fucky going on with Ichigo cause his soul is weird and brook has an awareness of souls as seen in canon. He’s basically a plus soul that’s piloting a skeletal body in a way. He’s able to see hollows and all that weird shit
this is such a fun idea I could talk about this for hours 😭😭

Took me some time cuz I was busy but I’ve finished syrup village so here’s some thoughts
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I forgot how good the humour in this arc was actually! I didn’t think much of it in the anime but the manga really delivers on the comedic timing, and the Nami/Usopp duo is genuinely one of my favourites
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The arc works very well as an introduction to Usopp, who he is as a person and what his morals are. Usopp is defined by his lying, but also by his willingness to fight for the people dear to him, so despite being beaten and chased by the villagers, he’s ready to put his life on the line for them, and then pretend like all of this was a lie just to let them keep their peace of mind
But there’s one reason I was VERY excited for Syrup Village: KURO
Kuro has been my favorite east blue villain ever since I first watched the anime, and I think most of it boils down to what he stands for and how it parallels the future themes (tho he’s great on his own too)
Kuro stands for the same things (while to a lesser extent) that future villains will, he’s a manipulator first and foremost, pretending he’s doing all he can for Kaya and the village. And he succeeds at being seen as a good person in their eyes.
Tumblr media
This is like, manipulation 101
At the same time he’s terrifying once everything boils down to it, putting himself above everyone else, not afraid to hurt or kill his crew, all in favour of his plan working out
Because he believes in the plan more than anything
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the end he looses to Luffy who believes in his crew and will put his life in the line for others, and Kuro’s downfall ultimately ends with his calculated composure lost (hair streaks falling over his face) and his worldview shattered (glasses destroyed)
Tumblr media
Which, you know, will also happen to two different villains who manipulated everyone into believing they’re the good guys while they’re actually ready to use anyone and everyone as a means to and end.
Kuro was a warning of what’s to come in the Grandline in a much bigger and more terrifying way
But we’ll get back to that once I get to Alabasta and then Dressrosa
Anyways I love Syrup Village

Punk Hazard
"You can have another plate, everyone!" yelled Sanji, "C'mon, people — this food won't go to waste on my watch."
"I want more" whined Luffy, "I'm hungry, it's too good."
Sanji rolled his eyes and handed him another plate, trying to hide a smile. "You should let the children eat first."
"Huh?" said Luffy with a grin, burying his spoon in the soup, "They're not special, I don't care."
"You never change, do you?"
Zoro chuckled under his breath, as the Marine next to him opened a barrel of sake. "Oi, quick with that" he groaned, "Or I'll have to finish it too fast."
The Marine laughed. "Yeah, finish it." Then Zoro started drinking and he stopped laughing.
Meanwhile, Robin was cackling as the children attacked Franky, snickering nonsense about robots. Brook was chatting with Kinemon and Momo. Law was brooding in the distance as he talked to Smoker and Chopper and Nami were just done having a conversation about the kids with Tashigi.
"It's just right that way" she sighed, reaching the others, "She's a Marine and a woman — I trust her enough."
Usopp smiled. "Does she make you think about your mother?"
Nami was just about to answer when a woman about her age approached her. She was a Marine too and gave her a bright smile. For some reason, she looked familiar.
"Hi, sorry — I heard the conversation and I thought this was the right moment to talk to you" she giggled, "Can I speak to the Captain?"
Usopp raised an eyebrow. Everyone was approaching Luffy quite freely so he didn't really understand why she was asking. "Huh... Why, though?"
The Marine giggled again. "I'm a fan. So, can I? Later, before you leave."
Nami sighed, still weirded out. "I guess, we're already partying with you lot anyway. But can't you come now?"
She smiled. "No, he'd choke on his food."
Chopper tilted his head. "Huh?"
"See you later."
And she left without a word.
Nami exchanged looks with Usopp and he shook his head. "Thank heavens you trust women who are Marines, right?"
"Well, I guess every clique has a weirdo. Like us with you."
"You're a fucking witch, you know that?"
And Nami giggled, while they reached the others.
When the kids had already gotten on board and the Marines were about to leave, Nami looked around. "A Marine wanted to talk to you" she told Luffy with a shrug, "Apparently she changed her mind."
Luffy cackled. "Nevermind. She must've forgotten."
Then he heard a voice, coming from above the Sunny, as if someone was facing down to look at him. "I don't know, have I?"
Luffy immediately turned around. And, when his eyes met her face, it took a moment before his heart dropped to his feet. That face... He hadn't seen that face in years and yet it couldn't have been anyone else. So, shaking from head to toe, he managed to choke out her name.
"Lu... L-Lucy?"
TWELVE YEARS EARLIER
"You'll meet another boy" said Garp as they all walked through the forest, "His name is Ace and he is three years older than you two."
"Where are you going?" the little girl accused him, a pout already forming on her face, "Why do we need to stay here?*
"I'm a Marine, I got work to do."
"Boring," huffed Luffy.
"Yeah" she repeated, sticking her tongue out, "Boring."
"Oi, brats!" yelled Garp, the vein on his forehead ready to pop, "You will become Marines as well, do you understand?"
"Nah" they said in unison, "We're gonna be pirat —."
And, before they even finished the sentence, they were both rewarded with two of Garp's famous love-punches, right on top of their heads.
"Behave, you two! A woman is going to take care of you." As those words left his mouth, he pointed at a hut.
When he knocked on the door, said woman opened it and stared at Garp in shock. His presence was bad news already. Then, she saw the two little kids and repeatedly shook her head. "Two more?" she yelled, her voice shaking.
"Do I need to remind you that I could arrest you?" he threatened even as he smiled. Then, he turned to his grandchildren. "This is Dadan, she is the woman who will take care of you."
"That little brat Ace is already enough!"
"Dadan" Garp continued, ignoring her complaints, "This is Luffy and this is Lucy, they're my grandkids."
"No."
"They're twins, it's like having only one of them."
"What do I care if they're twins?" screamed Dadan, "I refuse!"
In the end, Dadan had to wrap her mind around it. The twins were hell but, at some point, she had to get used to it. Ace was another story. It took months before he started to be nice to them and, when he did, it was after the twins had to go through hell for him and Sabo — so he kinda felt like he had to. And Dadan had gained another kid.
PRESENT
"Lucy?" repeated Usopp.
"You know this Marine?" asked Nami, as Luffy tried to stammer out his words.
"She's..." he babbled, as tears pooled in his eyes and a shaky smile appeared on his face, "She's my twin sister!"
The crew fell into silence for a second before they all screamed in unison. "Your what?!"
Lucy threw herself off the Sunny right into Luffy's arms, as they both sobbed and laughed at the same time, tears of joy flooding their faces. He surrounded her waist with his arms multiple times, screaming incomprehensible words and gaining a load of equally incoherent ones in return.
"Twins," declared Robin, quite convinced.
"How come you never tell us about your siblings?" yelled Zoro.
"And this one is a Marine, too," said Usopp as he shook his head.
"How is she so beautiful and his twin at the same time?" mumbled Sanji.
"Now I see why she looked so familiar," said Nami, still stunned.
"I see the resemblance, too!" agreed Chopper.
Brook laughed quite nervously. At the same time, he was endeared in seeing such a sweet reunion. "Yohoho! It's quite ironic that she's a Marine, though. And a seemingly high rank, too. Look at the coat."
"Great. Fucking great," seethed Law.
"Right?" snarled a chained up Caesar, gaining a glare in return.
Zoro narrowed his eyes and held his tongue. Judging from her uniform, she was probably a Captain or a Lieutenant-Commander. He couldn't wrap his head around how the hell Luffy's twin was a goddamn Marine. He decided to keep quiet until they were done crying like children and to just watch them.
Luffy broke the hug and cupped his sister's face, studying every single detail of it. "I haven't seen you in six years" he sobbed, as he sniffled to keep himself from covering his face in snot, "I thought something happened to you!"
"I'm sorry" she stuttered, her voice breaking with anger and sadness, "I tried to get to you and Ace in Marineford! I tried, I — that traitor locked me up in a Seastone cage and I couldn't —."
Before she could finish, Luffy covered her mouth and hugged her again. "Don't be sorry" he whispered, "I'm sorry I couldn't save him, I... I'm sorry."
Lucy bit his hand — which left Luffy somewhat shocked but not really surprised — and grabbed his cheeks, staring into his eyes, which perfectly mirrored hers. They had the same exact eyes. "You know what, stop. We shouldn't blame ourselves. Ace wouldn't have wanted that."
Luffy attempted to smile and he melted again in her hug. She held him tighter than he thought she would be able to and smiled wider, in silence. She was strong.
"I've kept track of you" she murmured and Luffy felt the smile in her voice, "I'm so proud of you — now I'm here to keep my promise."
Zoro tilted his head as Luffy let out an excited giggle on her shoulder.
"Promise?" he thought. He couldn't know, of course, about that promise she had made six years before.
He couldn't know about Garp's insistence on making them Marines. He couldn't know about Lucy's decision to just oblige and go with him. But, especially, he couldn't know about what she had told her brothers before she left.
"I'll go with grandpa" she had announced, "I'll go and I'll become a Marine."
"What?" Ace and Luffy had screamed in unison.
"Are you fucking mental?" Ace had yelled, "You're thirteen, you're not going anywhere."
"You're supposed to become a pirate! That's your dream, what are you even talking about?!" Luffy argued, possessively grabbing on her hand. He didn't really want to separate from her.
"Just listen!" she protested, slamming her hand on the handmade table, "I have a plan."
Ace clenched his fist and kept arguing. "I'm your older brother and I say —."
But Lucy didn't give him a chance to finish and stuffed a leaf she had found on the floor right into his mouth. "Oi!" she scowled, "Get your head out your protective asshole and listen!"
As Ace tried to spit out the leaf and all the mud that came with it, Lucy managed to explain.
"I'll go and I'll become a strong Marine. A lot of the strong ones get Devil Fruits, right?" she asserted, "I'll become very strong and then I'll escape and I'll become a pirate like you!"
Luffy was nervously quiet. Ace opened his mouth and closed it again.
"If you do that..." Ace had murmured, "If you do that and they catch you... they will execute you."
Lucy had laughed. Her laugh was pretty. Contagious. "Catch me?" she had ridiculed, "Catch me how?"
Luffy broke the hug again and brushed his fingers on a scar he didn't recognize, right in the middle of her forehead. He furrowed his eyebrows and she giggled, like she used to do when she was a child to keep Ace and Sabo from worrying. Now Luffy was old enough to understand and to worry about her as well.
"I have so many things to tell you," she said, ruffling his hair.
"Keep them for tonight" he decided, finally letting a grin form on his face, "We're giving you a welcome home party."
Then he helped her up and turned to his crew while snickering. "This is my twin sister, Lucy" he loudly announced, "Meet the new member of the crew."
While Robin, Chopper, Brooke and Franky greeted her quite dearly, the others were... uncertain.
"Isn't she a Marine?" questioned Zoro.
"Was" Lucy corrected him, "I was a Captain, to be precise."
"If you're not a Marine anymore, then why are you wearing the uniform?"
Lucy scoffed. "Ever heard of an undercover mission?" Then she turned to Luffy, a giggle erupting her lips. "Is this really your second in command?"
Zoro clenched his jaw and Luffy laughed as well.
"She's kidding," he told Zoro.
"Am not," she contradicted.
Luffy interrupted her by covering her mouth. "It was all part of a plan from when we were children. We'll explain tonight."
Lucy bit his hand again. "Just tell him now, he will relax."
"Stop biting me!" Luffy yelled, even as he cackled.
"When you stop covering my mouth, moron!"
"You're making everybody nervous!"
"Well, what can I say? I made an outstanding entrance."
Zoro snapped his fingers twice. "So? What plan?"
Luffy exchanged looks with his sister and giggled to himself. The thought of having her back made him insanely happy. So, he turned to his crew and explained everything.
After listening to the story, Zoro blinked a few times and barely relaxed his shoulders as the crew stood there, shocked. "That is a weird level of commitment," he observed.
Lucy shrugged. "I did what I had to. Does anyone have a change of clothes?"
"I do," said Nami. Considering Lucy was Luffy's twin, Nami was barely surprised so it was pretty easy to move on from the knowledge she had just acquired.
"Great" she smiled, "Thanks!" And, before they climbed back up on the Sunny, she gave the crew an apologetic smile. "Hope you don't mind that I left my stuff on the dock."
Franky shrugged. "No, sure —," he was saying. Then, he saw an enormous pile.
A huge backpack was laying open on the dock, drenched clothes spilling out of it. Next to it, weapons. Weapons of any kind. Metal bats, knives, brass knuckles, whips and two magnificent swords.
"So cool!" yelled Luffy, immediately running to look at the weapons.
"Oi, don't touch the swords!" she seethed.
Zoro blinked, as Lucy protectively grabbed the swords to fix them in her belt. He wanted to throw himself off the ship. "Are you a swordswoman?" he asked.
She proudly smiled at Zoro. "Yeah" she simply said, chuckling under her breath, "You know, my teacher knows yours."
Zoro lightly scoffed. "Fuck my life," he thought. He couldn't seem to escape swordswomen. "Well, I assume Mihawk knows an awful lot of Marines."
She raised an eyebrow. "Sweetheart, who ever talked about Marines?" he taunted him, as she took off her Justice coat.
Zoro gritted his teeth at the pet name. Sweetheart.
"Ever heard of Red-haired Shanks?"
Luffy immediately dropped his sister's metal bat, gaining an hiss from her. "What?! Shanks? Shanks taught you?"
Zoro's eyes widened. "You've been taught by an Emperor?!" The way he said that, it almost sounded like an accusation.
Usopp's knees seemed to have lost solidity. "What kind of siblings do you have?" he told Luffy.
"I told you I have a lot of stuff to explain," she laughed.
Meanwhile, Robin was giggling. "Luffy has such an interesting family," she said to herself.
Chopper was screaming about how cool it was along with Franky, while Brooke and Sanji were simply forcing themselves to look away as Lucy unbuttoned her shirt right in front of everyone. Nami noticed and laughed nervously, grabbing Lucy's hand to walk her to the girls' bedroom.
"Lucy, let me show you our room so you can change" she said, gesturing Luffy to take care of his sister's stuff.
Zoro watched her disappear into the room, her shirt hanging off her bare shoulder despite the cold weather, and glanced at Luffy, hinting at Sanji — which now had a nosebleed — with a movement of his head. "You need to tell your sister she can't take her clothes off in front of everyone."
Luffy shrugged. "She will probably tell me to fuck off, but I'll try."
Then they both grabbed Lucy's stuff. Luffy emptied her backpack and hung her clothes to dry, while Zoro took care of the weapons. He was silent throughout the whole process. He was bothered by the fact she was a swordswoman — he couldn't help it. He was also bothered by the chance that, given who her teacher was, she could've been better than him. He shook his head. Yes, she was taught by an Emperor but Mihawk was the best swordsman of the world. As he was deep in his thoughts, something in the pile of weapons caught his eye. Handcuffs. Seastone handcuffs. They seemed detachable, as if they could turn into bracelets.
Zoro clenched his jaw and jiggled the handcuffs over Luffy's face. "What the fuck is this?"
Luffy tilted his head and shrugged. "And what do I know?"
"Look, Luffy, you know I appreciate meeting your siblings but don't you think it's weird that she has spent her life being a Marine and now she's here with a pair of Seastone handcuffs?"
Luffy chuckled but Zoro could sense he was a bit upset. "Zoro, she's my sister... my twin sister" he said in a low tone, "You need to relax — if you care so much about the handcuffs, ask her."
Zoro sighed and left, just as Law approached Luffy, probably to discuss the new entry as well. Meanwhile, the Sunny had sailed and Sanji was frenetically cooking, so that last detail meant the Party was still happening.
The weather drastically changed and everyone abandoned the heavy clothing. Zoro was still holding the handcuffs and he sat on the dock, waiting. He decided he would've confronted her. He didn't trust her — why would he?
Brooke was preparing to play and Franky was setting up fireworks. Zoro sighed and shook his head. He got up, tired of waiting, and reached the girls' bedroom, ready to knock. Just as he was about to, he heard a voice behind him.
"Looking for someone, sweetheart?"
Zoro turned around, narrowing his eyes.
Lucy had changed into some of Nami's clothes. Her tanned skin was mostly exposed. She was wearing one of those useless short tops that Nami loved so much, with long sleeves but made of a fabric so see through that it was almost like wearing nothing. At least, the fabric wasn't white but of a light mint green colour. Other than that, she was wearing a cover up that looked sort of like a skirt but tied on her side.
But Zoro didn't even notice the clothes or the way they suited her body. He was too focused on the number of scars that covered her body. On her arms, her legs, her chest, her abdomen, her neck. Everywhere. He furrowed his eyebrows. Was that the treatment in the Marines or was all of that courtesy of the Emperor? Enemies, perhaps?
As she saw him stare in silence, she smirked. "Like what you see?"
He ignored the comment and stared into her eyes. Then, he held up the Seastone handcuffs. "Why do you have these?"
Zoro saw her relaxed face change slightly. Her expression barely hardened and yet it was that noticeable.
"Wouldn't you like to know?" she said slowly.
Zoro remained silent, waiting for an answer.
"Shanks used to put them on me during training — I'm a Rogia" explained Lucy after a while, her cold eyes not leaving Zoro's, "He used to say that if I didn't know how to win a battle by using my swords alone, without my powers, then I wasn't cut out to be a swordswoman." Then, her gaze turned venomous. "Happy?"
Zoro gazed down at her, almost displeased with the answer. It was a reasonable explanation and yet he felt nervous. He wasn't satisfied, for some reason. "That's how you hurt yourself this way?"
Lucy furrowed her eyebrows, almost startled by the question, and Zoro froze. He really didn't mean to ask that. He had no idea how that came out of his mouth — what did he care, after all?
"Yes," she answered, after a moment. Then she cleared her throat and raised her eyebrow in a playful look. "But, you know, not all of my scars are from that. Some are from my time as a Marine. Some from when I was a kid. Some from battle."
Zoro tilted his head and stared for a few seconds. He studied her face. Her brown eyes mirrored Luffy's, except for the fact she had longer lashes. His brain kept registering more and more details. Full brows and high cheekbones. Straight black hair which framed her face and fell all the way down her back. Full lips and a straight nose covered with little freckles. Her cheeks, another thing she had in common with Luffy, were adorned by dimples. And, right under her eye, a scar just like her twin.
Before he could stop himself, Zoro grazed a finger over that scar. "What about this one?" he asked, almost abruptly, "It's just like Luffy's."
Lucy's gaze followed his finger and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She liked the fact that he was interested — it was enough to lighten her bad mood. "Me and Luffy were idiots and we stabbed our own faces to convince Shanks we were tough enough to join his crew."
Zoro couldn't help but chuckle under his breath. "Sounds like something Luffy would do.
"I'd like to say I'm the responsible twin, but..."
Zoro was so caught up in the conversation he didn't even notice how close she was to his body.
"If he's the responsible twin," he said, scanning her whole face with his eyes, "then you're definitely bad news, doll."
Lucy smirked, slightly biting her bottom lip. "Bad news?" she repeated. She tried to ignore the way the pet name made the blood rush to her belly. She brushed her fingers on his chest and gazed up at him through her lashes.
Zoro held his breath for a second and took a step back, as he gave the handcuffs back. "Sorry about the 'cuffs" he said rather dryly, "They're throwing a party for you, so... catch'ya later."
Just as those words left his mouth, Brooke started playing and Lucy sighed, shrugging. She opened the girls' bedroom door enough to just throw the handcuffs inside, then she followed the music.

Hi, Do you really believe the direction Oda will follow regarding shipping is sanami over lunami? If so, what is your take on the lunami scenes in movies (strong world/ gold) considering Oda himself orchestrated them?
Hi Nonny and thanks for the ask~!
First of all sorry that it’s taken plenty of time to answer. It’s been a long time since I’ve last seen these movies (so wanted to rewatch both of them before replying and stuff) but anyways here are some thoughts. It’s going to be a long post so you have been warned :)
Before the actual reply I want to say my ponders are leaning mostly on the manga since it's my opinion the "most" canon when it comes down to materials and sources.
What makes it tricky to consider whether Strong World is canon or not is that Shiki-guy because he was indeed briefly mentioned in chapter 530 and 957 but that’s all for the manga.  What is problematic is thath Shiki was a strong pirate of Roger's time and the first to escape from Impel Down. So Luffy beating Shiki down in their duel should’ve been affecting his next bounty but it didn’t. 
Tumblr media
Same goes with the film Gold actually. Tesoro mentioned in the beginning that Luffy has beaten Doflamingo (so now he doesn’t have to) but so far it’s really hard to place the happenings to the canon’s timeline. Why? Because the crew split into parts in the beginning of the Dressrosa arc and reunited completely in Wano and It’s been published in 2016, around Zou arc.
So according to this the Film Gold should be placed somewhere after Wano (because they split already around Dressrosa) so Film Gold is a filler movie and most likely also Strong World although Oda-sensei participated in the production and made manga version of Strong World as well.
What comes to the shipping point of view, both movies offers scenes that can be interpreted for one’s OTPs and as long as the debates about shipping goes respectful I think there is no problem of talking about it but if it’s just bashing each other and disrespect then it’s insanity and waste of time. After all, we're supposed to enjoy the show, not to rip the fandom apart.
Anyway in this post down below are listed some moments that Nonny might’ve referenced and trying to dig into these lot debated scenes Nonny mentioned as neutral as possible :)
STRONG WORLD
Shiki takes Nami
Tone dial is one of the key elements of the movie and Strawhats get it in the beginning of the movie. Luffy tosses is to Nami for some reason although dials are more Usopp’s and Franky’s speciality.
Let's not forget that Nami was really good with Skypiea technology too though and she is in general intelligent so maybe that was the reason Luffy trusted that thing for her or maybe it was a random toss, who knows?
Tumblr media
Luffy’s reaction to Nami’s choice  and the message on the tone dial
From the shipping perspective probably the most debated detail in Strong World movie is what Nami left there for her crew after Shiki practically forced her to join his crew by threatening her hometown although Usopp tried to stop her by reasoning but Nami had no choice especially after Usopp was silenced. 
At least she was able to leave a message to the tone dial which the crew listens after their reunion and Luffy reacts strongest to this message. He is in disbelief that his comrade would say such things and goes further to unbox the anger while the rest of the crew decides to re-listen the message.
Luffy is usually around where the most stuff happens but he usually skips the backstory-kinda moments and he has even told that the backstories don't matter if he has decided to trust someone. For him his comrades are still friends, no matter how much they'd share different personalities or different points of views.
Luffy's strong reaction is easily explained by his nature: he is a guy who jumps quickly to action. He can be impulsive and sometimes he just picks a few words he hears and has already decided the next step. So this is just a cause of a misunderstanding, if Luffy would've listened to the whole message the outcome would've been different for sure.
Tumblr media
The whole message revealed in the ending
So, they managed to save Nami and kick Shiki’s ass for good. She is recovering of the poison and everyone are happy to see her getting better. Luffy however is still a bit mad and upset about that tone dial until the rest of the crew revealed that there was still something left when the captain let his emotions go over intuition.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even Nami admitted that it was mostly adressed to the captain but it was nothing personal. Like she would ever really doubt her friends’ skills.
And although it was meant for everybody, the main reason why she she added that extra sentence and directed it especially for Luffy is that just like written earlier, the captain tends to take sometimes things  literally so direct directions are best for him.
Why Nami didn’t ask for help in the first sentence?  Probably because of the movies drama tension and because she probably had a feeling Shiki would stalk her while sending a sos. So the message caused a big misunderstanding between her and Luffy because the captain was too filled up with emotions to listen the message for the second time.
Anyway, the whole message Nami left was:
Please, just let me leave you in peace and walk away I've decided to join Shiki's crew to be his navigator Shiki is a legendary pirate. If you fight him, you won't stand a chance Even if you come after me you'll only end up losing your lives That's all I have to say.... So please, come and save me
Tumblr media
FILM GOLD
The turtle race
In the beginning of the movie Luffy and his pals join for this race car thingy and Nami is seen blushing after seeing that Luffy, Chopper and Usopp are back in the race.
Tumblr media
It’s understandable that people see Nami’s blush and sigh of relieve as shippy but then again before the race Luffy just grabbed a handful of those betting chips (or whatever the are called) and rushed into first thing that looked interesting for them without debating first.
The whole crew is used to their captains randomness but sometimes get irritated by it (as a running gag) so the turtle race wasn’t nothin new tbh but the thing is there was huge money on bet so definitely seeing your nakama (almost) falling out of the race is worrisome but when you see them doing a comeback and realizing there is a chance to win big money and that they are ok it’s a huge relief. 
Tumblr media
Luffy gambling in the high risk area
Once they win the Turtle race they are invited to the VIP area where they get the high risk, high reward-challenge with the dices. First they are again annoyed by Luffy betting without asking his crew but once they see Luffy is loaded with luck Nami and Usopp go next to their captain to admire his luck.
This is a nice little moment for both LuNami and LUsopp fans and quite usual actually in One Piece that some of the Straw Hat are more physical towards each other than the others, not necessarly in romantic way though, can be platonic too.
Tumblr media
When Baccarat uses he Lucky Lucky fruit abilities the whole crew gets immediately worried when seeing Luffy being unlucky and they all realize they were just fooled  by them.
Like always in tense situations, the whole crew goes on defense mode if they see their nakama in trouble.
Introducing Carina
What I like about Film Gold is that it gives another sneak peak to one of my favorite characters, Nami’s past. It was already mentioned in the Heart of Gold but  they were competitors and ended up in the same trouble and in the previous movie Nami was still mad about what happened and when they reunited they still had this frenemies-way to approach each other.
Tumblr media
Luffy's attention was paid for a short moment because it was a friend’s friend and Nami’s expression after Luffy’s question could be interpreted as on something like she’d don’t want Carina to but from the neutral point of view it’s probably more that she is still dealing with conflicted feelings about what happened with her and Carina in the past and meeting her after all those years (the whole story of them robbing  Mad Treasure was opened later in Film Gold).
Also like always the captain isn’t much interested on his nakamas’ pasts. So, instead of watching Nami and Carina quarrelling he interrupted the thing so they could focus on the main thing eating before saving Zoro.
Tumblr media
Luffy’s and Franky’s suuuuperrr comeback
So Tesoro thought he’d fool the Strawhat Pirates but actually they trolled him with help of Carina (and I must say, it was so cool that the whole crew had matching outfits!).
Tumblr media
Nami was first to congratulate Luffy for their plan and Luffy’s response as a semi-confused “ah, a plan?". It is usually Nami who rushes up to him after seeing him appearing. That's completely natural and even explained with Nami's caring nature.
Not only Luffy but also she usually is the first ones to rush when their mates are in trouble. Out of all Strawhats Luffy happens to be the guy who causes his crew mates loads of worries eith his shenanigans and worry-free and impulsive nature so no wonder she needs to check him most if he is ok. Even Robin mentioned just before their arrival that they “hid” art  of plan from Luffy because they knew their captain would go with his instincts instead of a rock solid plan, crew knows their captain so well *laughs* )
Tumblr media
Luffy saving Nami and Carina from Tesoro
Tesoro went to that golden mode and tried to kill Carina but Nami saved her and we get the rest of their story revealed. That Carina actually saved Nami back then although watchers were first led to believe that it was a betrayal.
Naturally touching moment is disturbed by the tension so Tesoro manages to catch Nami to his grip which pisses Luffy off. Another potential ship moment but then again Luffy would do the same no matter whose of his nakama were in the same situation.
Tumblr media
Then he tosses Nami and Carina to a safer place from the battle arena and screams her name. Clever move from him if so because the whole place was a mess but again this showed how much trust Luffy has for his whole crew. He knew that although he’d toss them someone would be able to catch them.
One thing that is probably a running gag by the way but Luffy has the tendency to carry people like sack of potatoes, no matter what the gender or the situation is (and somehow they still manage to keep up with him, at least I don't remember whether anyone has fallen from his arms while being carried *laughs*)
Now to think about this is a common thing i.e Luffy has not only carried Nami numerous time like this (for example in Water 7) or Law in Dressrosa and Robin in Alabasta like that but also Zoro has done this for fainted Usopp in Alabasta and even Usopp carries Robin (as Sogeking) in Enies Lobby.
Tumblr media
In other words no matter how nice shippy moments there are in fillers /movies/ specials etc. between two characters  have it still doesn't guarantee it would lead to canon romance. Like fellow fans, I also enjoy those shippy moments (especially the filler where they are placed in historical Japan) but still think that when it’s about canon, only manga counts because it's 100% written ad planned by Oda-sensei. Yes Oda has taken parts to production of some movies BUT he isn't in charge of everything there so the production can slip a bit from the canon.
What comes to the panel you used to demonstrate their discussion about the marriage I agree with you, Luffy isn't currently interested in getting married and he prioritizes adventures over the thought of marriage (Thriller Bark). On top of that, Luffy also said "no" to Hancock which for me indicates that he really doesn't want any romantic relationship at this point and frankly spoken it all just makes sense.
Tumblr media
After all, he "only" 19-years old and craves for adventures. So I think at some perspectives Luffy's view of romantical romance is still "lacking" and he isn't bothered about it because he has his priorities and determination in other stuff such as chasing his lifelong dream to find the legendary One Piece.
I bet after finding that Luffy might start to ponder more about his future but he wants to keep his focus at one thing at the time instead of big picture. Now he wants to feel the freedom and probably even if he didn't find One Piece (he will for sure though), for him the whole adventure matters more than the treasures. That's simply the way he is.
Tumblr media
To your original question Nonny, I've been reading One Piece years and focused on chemistry between Sanji and Nami because I see in them foreshadowing and moments and common chemistry that could potentially lead them as a pair.
Then on the other hand, I too love Luffy as a character a lot, and also do enjoy Luffy's and Nami's chemistry a lo. However, the difference is that compared to SaNami, for me Luffy's and Nami's interactions are much more platonic and sibling-like. The same way I feel Usopp's and Nami's interactions are (and they do share close nakamaship and I like that too, they're like besties and stuff!).
Maybe it's the way the cook and the navigator started by flirting and did proceed to WCI where they split apart with an emotional slap and tears or maybe as a SaNami-fan I feel they've had more development compared to Luffy's and Nami's nakamaship.
Tumblr media
This series is about to reach it's ending chapters and it's still all open what Oda has prepared for us. It might be that he drops a random plot bomb and ships some Straw Hats together but on the other hand he could also decide not to add any romance and give the story a very open ending when it comes down to shippings.
Frankly spoken the only canon pair that includes a main character Oda would reveal 100% is Usopp x Kaya, the did pair them even in the live-action but apart from that it's a complete mystery whether SaNami or LuNami any of the most shipped pairs will ever become canon, all we can do is wait ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
