AU where Sanji never actually left Germa, and Judge made him a test subject early on, successfully getting rid of his empathy after years of torture.

But like, he has those years of bullying from his brothers first, and his empathy’s gone but his anger’s still there. Also with no Zeff, he fights with his fists and doesn’t treat women Like That. Because Zeff’s the one who instilled in him to never hit a woman (and made it weird but that’s not the point).

He’s out on some mission in the Grand Line when he runs into the Straw Hats and he sees Zoro’s green hair and associates it with Yonji and he just haaaates him on sight.

The fight is super evenly matched and Zoro manages to knock him out eventually but he’s like what’s the guy’s DEAL. Wtf is his problem.

Maybe Law’s with them when it goes down and he recognizes that costume and fanboys…

Oh actually yeah— Law’s with them! And after Zoro knocks him out, Law goes into Creepy Surgeon Mode and is like for the love of god please let me get my fingers in that chest cavity

And everyone else (bar Robin ofc) is like Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）

But Law gets a room going and finds all sort of odd Germa technology literally implanted in him and starts pulling it out and messing with it and suddenly Sanji wakes UP and he’s— he’s scared. And overwhelmed. He’s in real time having to reckon with years of torturing people.

And Law’s like oh the emotional part of this is not in my pay grade this is not my job anymore and dips.

So Sanji’s there in the Sunny’s infirmary like “I’m a monster I need to be put down oh my god” and Luffy shows up like HEY you’re cool as hell join my crew.

Zoro is not a fan of this option and also it turns out neither is Sanji BUT sanji has nowhere to go so he makes a deal to sail with them until the next habitable island. So Zoro watches him like a hawk bc he’s like “you’re definitely faking this and are gonna turn evil and try to kill people again right”

But instead he just keeps finding Sanji being really pathetic and sad and looking longingly at the kitchen (Robin doubles as the cook and her food is damn near inedible but that’s just the life of a pirate innit)

Late one night Zoro comes off watch and he sees Sanji sneaking into the kitchen and he thinks OH he’s going to try to POISON US so he sneaks in after him and confronts him, swords and all. And Sanji, who knows what an awful person he’s been and knows he deserves death, just starts crying and is like “yeah you can kill me just let me cook one thing once I just want to remember what it feels like”

So Zoro lets him cook, and is like yeah I’m killing you after this, and Sanji spends a long time sniffling as he re-familiarizes himself with pots and pans and spices and knives and ends up making something garlic-y and delicious that smells strong enough to wake up the crew, and everyone traipses in enraptured by the smell. So Sanji serves them and Zoro tries it first because if it’s poisoned he’s not letting EVERYONE go down. But it’s not poisoned and it’s really good, and anyway Zoro can’t kill him now in front of everyone.

But three nights later the same thing happens— he sees Sanji sneaking into the kitchen and follows him and Sanji says “I know you should’ve killed me last time but you couldn’t, I get that, but I’m dangerous. So let me cook just one more time and then you can kill me.”

And it doesn’t happen of course. Everyone comes in and everyone eats and Zoro watches Sanji recover a little of himself.

And so it goes. At first every few nights and then every other night, and then every single night.

And whenever Zoro comes in, Sanji says, I know I deserve to die but let me cook just one more thing.

And at some point Zoro stops thinking about killing Sanji. He’s a part of the crew now. He’s proving himself, and anyway Zoro can beat him and hold him down and Law can reverse whatever it is again if needs be.

So it’s just a thing they do. Zoro lightly threatens him and Sanji begs for his life and they move on. It’s routine but it doesn’t actually MEAN anything anymore.

That is, until one really bad night where Sanji doesn’t show up in the kitchen like he always does, and Zoro goes looking and finally finds him deep in the steerage, and Sanji says, “I can’t keep living like this, please just kill me. I can’t keep living knowing I’m going to die the next day.”

And Zoro’s like ???? You’re not gonna die the next day wtf

And Sanji says, please, just get it over with.

Zoro realizes that Sanji has continued all this time assuming Zoro really is coming to kill him every night

But it’s been MONTHS at this point. Surely he wouldn’t still think—

But Sanji’s wracked with more than a decade’s worth of guilt, is so sure he deserves the worst the world possibly has to offer.

Too bad Zoro’s a little in love with him at this point. And says anyone who wants to kill Sanji will have to go through Zoro first.

Which Sanji DOESNT UNDERSTAND and he doesn’t understand the kiss Zoro follows it up with, but he returns it. Greedily.

Because as much as he knows he deserves death, he also relishes every moment of life, every chance to feel the emotions he wasn’t allowed. And Zoro goes from jailer to protector in his mind. Slowly. Hesitantly.

He spends years working through the trauma, decades really, but the simplicity with which Zoro sees the world helps. Zoro doesn’t blame him. Zoro loves him. Sanji doesn’t know much but he knows he’ll defend this ship that saved him with his life.

And he knows Zoro wouldn’t let Sanji defend HIM with his life, because Zoro views his life as precious and important.

Which is something Sanji is still learning.

He’ll get there.

#zosan #it’s always a toss up what fics to write vs what to just throw out into the void like this #uhhhhh I need a tag for this #would this go in the Zosan fanfic tag I dunno if that’s just for finished fic #my writing #I guess that works #anyway cross posted from twitter since I have like 3 followers lmao #and tbh it’s been a week I’m still thinking about this #(I’m thinking about writing omegaverse Zosan more tho)#(and ptsd law who’s scared of luffy)#(too little time in the world)

hi! may i please request Law, Robin or Zoro with a female reader for secret santa? please and thank you

hi there! hope you enjoy this long and slightly angsty zoro piece :)

you’ve received zoro + kissing under the mistletoe

❆: angsty, longing zoro, reader also kisses luffy, no implied gender, 1000+ words!

zoro thought he was past your relationship. you two didn’t work out, not everyone does, and that was okay with him.

totally and completely okay…

replaying the moment from dinner, he swore he saw red. which wouldn’t have happened if he was over you, right?

some of the strawhats had joined sanji in the kitchen before dinner, maybe because of the savory scent that was hard to resist. and of course, luffy was one of those individuals.

zoro doesn’t recall paying much attention to the conversation at the table. he never really does if he’s being honest.

“guys,” you call, bursting in through the galley door.

the sound of your voice is what drew him in, his good eye flicking open to where you were standing in the entry way.

“i think its going to start to snow soon!” you beam, earning enthusiastic uproar from those in the room. zoro can’t hold back a smile when your ardor is for something so ridiculous as snow.

as usual, luffy springs from his seat, eager to see the weather change when nami interrupts him, gaining everyone’s attention.

“hey, luffy! look what’s above you two!”

as you and your captain stand in the doorway, everyone’s eyes travel to reveal the bright green mistletoe hanging above you.

zoro can now hear his thrumming heartbeat, immediately recognizing the symbolic meaning behind the plant.

“that’s mistletoe,” you inform luffy, who seemed just as confused despite the explanation. the captain proceeds to ask a bunch of questions including who did it get there and could he eat it, the standard luffy inquiry.

never had zoro been so aggravated with luffy’s clueless nature.

“that means you two have to kiss. that’s tradition anyway,” nami teases, wiggling her eyebrows at you. playful laughter fills the air while you watch luffy’s face attempt to comprehend the situation.

“well if that’s what that means,” he shrugs, turning to you with a big grin.

of course, he’s not taking this seriously.

the veins in zoro’s forehead feel like they’re about to pop, luffy gets to kiss you and he’s making a joke of it?

time feels like it’s starting to slow down as luffy leans in, going in to place a peck on your cheek. but you’re too busy laughing with nami to realize this and as soon as your head turns, your lips meet his.

your lips only brush for a couple seconds before the two of you realize what had happened, but it feels like an eternity before either of you pull away.

everyone starts to laugh, taunt and teasing the two of you like a middle school couple, but to zoro it’s like the personified version of his worst nightmare.

luffy wraps an arm around you, dragging you with him to return to his original goal of watching the fresh snow fall.

conversation continues as normal, meanwhile zoro sits at the end of the table pretending that his heart wasn’t just ripped out of his chest.

so now that he’s in the crow’s nest, supposedly watching over the ship, all he can think about is you.

did luffy notice your sweet scent as he leaned in? were your lips supple and soft as always or had you changed your chapstick? more importantly, did either of you enjoy it?

what would you have done if it was zoro who was standing there? would you have kissed him? laughed it off like it meant nothing to you?

he didn’t know, but he couldn’t help but desperately want to.

movement out of the corner of his eye snaps his attention away. the light from the galley shines through the slim crack underneath and it’s enough for him to huff and head in that direction.

“alright luffy—“

you jump at the sudden noise, but it seems the swordsman is much more surprised to see you here.

“sorry zoro, just getting some water. i’m leaving right now,” you softly smile, wiggling your glass as proof.

his throat runs dry now that you were standing in front of him. but your movements are agile, too quick for him to strategically access his next move before you’re almost out the door.

zoro reaches out for your hand, taking a tight hold on you and preventing you from leaving.

you pause, letting out a gentle sigh before turning around to face him. “need something?” you ask, staring at your connected hands rather than his face.

there was nothing running through his head as you finally glanced up at him. the light in your eyes had been replaced by foreboding sadness. and he knew why, as he was the one who caused the two of you to break up.

“you didn’t have to kiss him earlier, you know,” he says in a low, gruff tone.

you pull your hand from his, eyes slowly squinting towards him. “i know…” you wearily respond, face twisting into a frown. “…i can make my own decisions, thank you.”

zoro nods. “but you didn’t have to,” he reiterates focusing on the point that is was your decision.

“why does it matter to you? you’re the one who broke us up.” you nearly yell, almost forgetting that the rest of your crewmates were asleep.

“i shouldn’t have done that, i know that now,” he admits, reaching out to you.

your poise changes as zoro is unusually delicate when he holds your hand. “please,” he begs, thumb smoothing over your skin, “just one more chance.”

the sigh that erupts from your body is one full of pain, a heavy burn throbbing through your lungs.

that was the thing about zoro, you could read him so easily. the way his brows lift in their inner corners, how his usually tensed muscles loosened the second he touched you, he was being sincere.

you glance up to the decoration you found yourself under earlier in the day. this little plant was really what tipped him over, it’s almost funny.

“we can discuss this in the morning,” you comply, leaning up to place a light kiss on his cheek, lips hovering against the skin, “that okay with you?”

he can’t help but smile as he agrees, “yeah, that’s good.”

likes, reblogs, and comments are always appreciated! (✿◠‿◠)

Luffy x male reader hcs ☆

Cuz yeaaaaa I never see this?? I’m sure there’s some male luffy simps out there somewhere !!

come get your food I know you exist!! <3

Now luffy’s not gentle with anyone

but if your a guy he assumes you can handle yourself, weak or not

Why? Because your a man! And men have to do what a man has to do

Luffy has mentioned multiple times to protect nami

because she’s a young girl! (Not a grown woman—she’s eight-TEEN)

robin is strong and has a devil fruit so she’s different!

nami has average feats besides some decent durability

but yeah so he’s not gentle at all

you may get treated like zoro and usopp

you two probably seem more like best friends than a couple

luffy drags you EVERYWHERE on your adventures!

like literally you don’t remember a time where you two are separated

which leads me to believe one of his love languages are quality time

playing together, fishing together, fighting side by side, exploring together

did you notice how many times I said together??

yes!! Because your never apart!!!

so, what’s the other love language??

why physical touch of course!

luffy has no concept of personal space

as we know

so he’s always slingshotting onto you, hopping on you back (even if your smaller), dragging you around, whatever!

he does this subconsciously of course

The crew gets this as well but with as touchy as he is with you, you can tell you two are the couple of the group

don’t bother with dates unless you want to have a eating competition

that’s a date he’ll gladly take on without RUINING

In fact he wins!

every time-

no matter what type of competition it is luffy will never hold back

not even to make you feel better 🤷‍♀️

if you’re just as hyper as him you two are the chaotic duo

nami is always scolding and punching you both

not that you learn your lesson or anything

you guys are always doing stupid stuff like challenges and pranks

and bothering your fellow straw hats when you get bored

🤪

With a more rational boyfriend

luffy doesn’t calm down at all

nor does he listen to you any better than nami

he drags you around on his silly adventures whether you want to or not

in fact that may be how you joined in the first place!

(you remind me of law—platonically)

Luffy always laughs and says “come on m/n it’ll be fun!” Whenever you express you don’t wanna do something

yeah he’s not a great listener

but he is good at picking up on feelings!

so if your genuinely sad he can tell straight away you aren’t your normal self, even if your the world’s best actor

m/n being more sentimental/emotional actually kinda goes hand in hand with luffy since he can pick up on those if nothing else

although you’ll be going through a roller coaster of said emotions-

at least he listens to your demands a little more

Unlike zoro for example as to where he doesn’t get to finish his sentences 🤦‍♀️😬

if luffy ever gifts you something it’ll either be so perfectly accurate (you probably think someone helped him but he did it by himself and didn’t think much of it)

or 😬😬😟

“gee..thanks luffy..”

”no problem m/n!” 😊👍

LOL

if your weak luffy won’t train with you-

you either train with zoro or get stronger with time

it’s not that he doesn’t want to

it just doesn’t cross his mind

he spent 10 years training, he thinks he’s pretty good

All he needs now is experience and adventure!

but if you ask him? Sure!

(im warning you this is training and he doesn’t hold back, especially since your a guy)

idk why luffy thinks guys can handle everything??

like dang you could be a lil gentle..?

anyway yeah

if your strong? Great!

now you can fight along side him :)

random

luffy tells you about everything and anything

Even stuff you don’t wanna know..

”OIII M/N COME LOOK A FISH POOPED IN THE OCEAN!! USOPP WASN’T LYING!”

what??

YUP I’m ending it there 😜

Hopefully my male readers enjoyed this!~ more op content coming soon💗

I SAW YOU DO HCs. Will you do Law and Zoro with an SO who accidentally woke them up from a nap? Than you!

((this caught me off guard; thanks for requesting!))

S/O Waking Partner From Their Nap

Characters: Law, Zoro Warnings: mild cussing (like 3 curses), mostly fluff

GN!Reader, everything used for the reader is neutral

ZORO

- Honestly he's pretty used to be woken up from his naps.

- Actually, it's more surprising you managed to wake him up without it being an actual emergency.

- You saw him sleeping in the yard and decided to swing down for a quick look.

- But, then you're in the air.

- Luffy ended up launching into you, laughing about wanting to play something before you both realized you were in a free fall.

- That was a whole lot of screaming for a few seconds.

- You didn't hit the ground though. Sure, you were now being squeezed, but that was better than the grass.

- Maybe.

- When you looked up the Captain's face had met with Zoro's hand. His other arm was wrapped around you.

- "Can't you both keep it down? I'm tryin' to sleep."

- Luffy apologizes; he doesn't look apologetic.

- Zoro's decidedly too tired to deal with it. Sometimes it was better to walk away anyway.

- Though maybe he could have put you down when he decided to do that?

- You're decidedly too interested in where you're going to put up a fight this time around.

- He carries you away from Luffy (who was complaining about him stealing you) with a huff and finds a more reclusive spot. "Nap with me," he stated. "Don't want you gettin' into trouble if I'm not there."

- You tease him about how soft he's being.

- "Shuddup," he grumbled, messing up your hair and kissing your forehead. "I ain't soft for no one. This is just punishment for wakin' me up."

- You want to call him a liar, but he's already out. So, you curl up against him and join him in dream land.

LAW

- Let's be real, he doesn't nap often as it because he doesn't sleep.

- The crew had finally convinced him to go lie down after a stressful day and that was a win!

- Then they told you to go check on him a few hours later and that was a lose.

- "Come on, (Y/N)! Law loves you, he won't be mad if you wake him up!"

- The wonder twins kept claiming that, but shame on you if you don't believe them.

- You just didn't want to disturb the little sleep he got, but here you go anyway (after a lot of literal pushing).

- You walk into Law's room, very quietly, and quickly make your way to the bed.

- Still breathing? Yep. Still asleep? Yep.

- You turn on your heels to get out as fast as possible, taking one more look back.

- Woah does he look cute. It's almost surreal to actually see him sleeping.

- fUCK YOU TRIP

- Oh never mind you're on something soft.

- A moment passed and then you quickly realized your situation, scrambling to get up.

- "Calm down already," Law sighed, reaching over and gently patting your forehead. "I'll toss you to the floor otherwise."

- You calm for a moment to thank him for saving you and then proceed to apologize profusely in the same panicked tone.

- He's just content messing with your hair and watching you talk though.

- Really he's waiting for you to shut up, but he's not complaining. Well, mentally he's not.

- "(Y/N), you're too loud for such an echoey room. Why don't we enjoy the peace before everyone comes looking for you?" he suggested.

- You both did rarely get peace... So, you agree.

- Thus, he pulls you close and you both enjoy a rare few minutes of intimacy and calm before the door slams open and the captain returns to his duties, blaming the rest of the crew for waking him up.

#roronoa zoro #zoro x reader #trafalgar law #law x reader #op x reader #one piece x reader #one piece #x reader headcanons #idk how to format these so any tips are welcome #thank you for the first request though!!!

Привет! Может быть, еще рано, но счастливых вам праздников. Я хотел бы спросить адвоката дьявола, когда они празднуют Рождество. Отдельно с пиратами и адмиралами. Или все вместе.🐣

Christmas time w/ Law, Thatch, and Luffy...

**You didn't specify which pirates in particular so I chose three at random (the ones in my list at least)

Characters are age-up or aged-down

I chose the three characters who would have vastly different Holiday traditions and what-not

Monkey D. Luffy

...

Luffy would likely take the crew to some snowy island so that all of you can properly celebrate Christmas--- Luffy's enthusiasm for Christmas would be infectious, getting everyone in high spirits for the upcoming celebration. There's no actual plan, you guys just go with the vibe. Doing it is whatever you want to do.

He's generally excited at the prospect of exploring the island with you, the whole way there he'd be beaming with so much energy. Rambling on the various things the two of you might find together as well as do together

Upon arriving Usopp quite literally dives off the side of the ship and into a pile of snow, which prompts Luffy to do the same. But not before glancing your way with a mischievous gleam in his eyes ("No. NO! LUFFY DON'T YOU DA-AH!")

You can't even find it in your heart to be mad, especially when he gives you that goofy grin of his --- as I said, his excitement is just so infectious. So much so you might as well be declared the most deceased person in all of the Blue Sea.

Also they all regretted not wearing winter clothing. The moment their bodies hit thee snow, they were scrambling to get back on the ship to warm up, your partner looking at you with a very apologetic grin as you dragged him into your shared room to look for some warm clothing

Almost all of the men, Sanji (he's in the town picking up the latest ingredients for the Christmas feast) and Brook (who was busy caroling Nami's ear off), have settled for a snow man competition. And boy, does it get competitive. Usopp's teamed up with Chopper to create a giant sized chopper, Frankie's chosen to do something that I couldn't even be able to describe, and Zoro, who teamed up with Luffy. Even though, he didn't even want to play in the first place. The only reason he joined was because Chopper had taunted him into it, and we all know Zoro is a man of pride (at times) Anyways, they chose to build a giant amalgamation of numerous animals --- apparently, it was suppose to look like a giraffe ??? not even close

You're role was to judge, alongside Robin. Both of you easily chose Usopp's and Chopper's. Earning curses and protest from the losers with Luffy shouting how he was betrayed by his own person.

This would then cause a snowball fight, the losers way of getting revenge on the winners and judges

As expected, the field became the equivalence of a blood bath. Especially after Luffy began using his Devil fruit powers to completely annihilate everyone with accurate precision.

Afterwards, a small break is called. Thank god because if you ahd to continue against the boy made of gum, you might as well have jumped into the sea yourself.

As Christmas neared, he'd seek you out more (not to say, he hadn't previously. He's legit like gum stuck to the bottom of your shoe.) It's just that, now the two of you can have more privacy. The inhabitants of the island are busy with their winter festivals, there's no enemies to chase them away, no pesky marines to annoy the, and the rest of the crew were preoccupied with said festivals--- the perfect opportunity for a getaway

Their footsteps would leave a trail in the snow as they explore the tranquil winter landscape hand in hand, with him dragging you around like an excited child. Wonderment in his eyes as he gaze around his new surroundings, never once letting go of you

Eventually, he calms down. (I'd imagine you'd have to be someone rather composed. the type of person who could bring him down to earth when it was necessary but could easily jump as high as he could and reach for the stars with him.)

You talk about their dreams, hopes for the future --- he'll share stories about his childhood, back when he liveed with his brothers and Dan Dan. About some of the adventures you missed and of the people he's met, all while having you wrapped around him. (He's clingy)

I'll end this with you dishing out your revenge by puhsing him into the snow when he least expected it --- what you didn't but should've expected was him stretching his arm out to pull you to his side, laughing as you squealed.

You and Luffy laughed heartily as you both laid down side by side in the soft snow. An idea struck you, and with childlike delight, you moved your arms and legs in perfect rhythm, creating snow angels together. You enjoyed the simple pleasure of the moment, laughing and lightly poking each other, feeling the contrast between the cold snow beneath you and the warmth you felt for one another.

"We should do this again next Christmas!"

...

Thatch

...

Christmas with Thatch is both a curse and a blessing, mainly a blessing considering that he tries to make it fun for you despite it being a rather stressful time for him (from the ass crack of dawn to like the darkness of the night, he's up about slaving away in the kitchen to get the feast in order)

The Whiteboard Pirates don't do single-feast, that is a known fact. But even during the holidays, things become a bit more exaggerated than usual

A little tradition of yours includes a boat ride and fishing (I've never fished once in my life, all my knowledge comes from that the guy from River Monsters nor do I really like cooking but I used to watch MasterChef so like ye)

Thatch takes you on a small fishing trip just a ways from the ship --- you'd sit across from him, a beach hat over your head as you observe him fish away. Sometimes, you fish alongside him, and much to his surprise, the big fishes always seem to bite down on your line instead of his

(Side note: The crew have a designated boat for the couple that they like to re-decorate depending on the holiday. So rn the ship is decorated with Christmas colors and some ribbons here and there. It looks ridiculous but it's how they show their support for your relationship)

So much so that the crew has a little bet established every time they see Thatch with his fishing supplies --- everyone except a few hopefuls bet on you catching the most (the bet only occurs if they see you without the blue parasol. Having the blue parasol implies that you plan to laze around)

The two of you will talk about everything and anything while on your little fishing trip, from Ace's shenanigans to the craziest meals some of the crew have previously ordered

Once you both return from the fishing trip with a bountiful seafood haul in hand, Thatch leads you back into the ship's kitchen (which is completely decked out with Winter decorations, there's even a giant Christmas tree Marco had to bring it using his phoenix form since you were all still in the middle of the ocean), where the two of you would begin cooking under the soft glow of moonlight.

As your relationship first started, Thatch noticed how you enjoyed watching him cook, yet there was a desire in you to actively participate in his favorite activity. So he gave you a special role --- the keeper of spices and seasonings! (You're also like his Christmas radio channel, you're always softly singing while he's cooking. Sometimes, while he waits for something to cook, he'll pull you around the counter to dance as you sing. Him humming along to the song with a grin)

He'd line up the various spice containers on the wooden counter in front of you, and so, whenever Thatch asked for a particular seasoning, you'd happily give it to him. Over time, you've developed an intuitive understanding of his cooking needs, even predicting which seasoning he requires before he can say anything (an ability that makes him beam with great pride)

Although, the only time you get a more active role in cooking is when he starts making the desserts --- you literally jump out of your seat the moment you see him pull out the flour and sugar to make gingerbread cookies or what-not

Thatch playfully teases you whenever you add the spices, telling you you're not just adding seasoning but "a pinch of love" to the dishes

As a quirky and endearing tradition, Thatch always lets you take the first bite of any dish he prepared --- Haruta and the other division Commanders try to steal some cookies and sweets while Thatch is distracted with you, though it always ends in failure because somehow the man has eyes on the back of his head

Eventually, Christmas come around. Thatch is finally free from the kitchen so he'll come out onto the deck to find you. It's Vista who points him over to where you are, leaning by Pop's, re-telling a story from your past with a grin on your lips as you make the old man laugh out loud

Seeing his son come his way, Whitebeard would nudge you forward into the cook's direction, a knowing smile on his lips as he catches the eye of the ship's musician and make the go-ahead signal

Next thing you know, a slow song comes on

The crew had transformed the deck into a dance floor, most of the crew is drunkenly dancing around, alcohol in their hands as they laugh around

On the other hand, Thatch pulls you close for a slow dance, murmuring sweet-nothings into the skin of your temple as you sway about.

"Merry Christmas, sugar..."

...

Trafalgar D. Law

...

Christmas and Law had me thinking for a bit. On one hand, from what I remember about his characterization, he might not like it. On other other hand, I think he's gone through enough character development to give in into the crews desire to celebrate the holiday

Especially if you're also the one asking to celebrate it

Despite the limited space in the submarine, Law surprises you by bringing a small, decorated Christmas tree onboard. The crew helps in setting it up, and they all contribute tiny handmade ornaments (they had to get hella resourceful with this) to add a personal touch.

I don't know what they're called but Shachi and Bepo made those uh paper people shapes (?) While Penguin made snowflakes to hang around

The sight of his submarine decorated so ridiculously does irritate Law just a tad bit, but the sight of your smile is enough to ease it away

Bepo, Penguin, and the rest of the crew take it upon themselves to sneakily plant mistletoes all over the ship ---, in places you and Law are likeliest to cross at the same time

Whenever Law and Catalina share a kiss under the mistletoe, the crew cheers and claps. Wolf whistling as they blush like perverts warning them a harsh glare from their Captain, who holds you close to him in efforts to protect you from their unruliness

In private, Law decides to inform you that he's done a little something to make the holidays a bit more fun (he actually says this rather mockingly/teasingly) he's hidden all of your presents around the sub, and your job is to find them without anyone's help (you still find gifts even AFTER the holidays are over)

You surprise Law with a shit ton of gifts, with each one his eyebrows twitch uncontrollably. Face blushing a bright red as he loudly scolds you for buying him too many things yet, at the same time, he can't really complain because the things you got him are incredibly practical

Law doesn't like bread so you try your best to find Christmas recipes that don't involve it --- so Christmas time becomes the time where you make a ton of flans, puddings, meringues, and what-not. Although you do make him some onigiri painstakingly shaped into Christmas trees, which he is very appreciative of

After the festivities, Law takes you to the submarine's observation deck, where you gaze at the stars together. You sit between his legs laying your body against his chest, head on his shoulder as you murmur random facts about the stars whilst he tells you random facts about the human body. A little habit of you guys came up with long ago

"The amount of gifts you gave me was ridiculous, ya...thank you"

...

(A/N): I don't really celebrate Christmas so this was a bit of a struggle but like hopefully it still satisfy you. Also sorry for such a late reply, shit happened.

Anyways

Not in my world

─ Strawhats, Heart Pirates & Kid Pirates x isekaed!student!reader

─ Summary: you find yourself in a totally different world and trying to adjust

─ Warnings: none

Part two / Part three (Kid Pirates)

─ Then, you were comfortably asleep in your bed, completely passed out from studying so much for the exam you had tomorrow, however, surprise! out of nowhere you were on a boat with a rubber guy, a thief, a guy with moss on his head, a lovesick cook, a reindeer, an archaeologist, a liar, a cyborg and a living skeleton.

─ Screams and screams, confused on your part, scared on the part of Nami, Chopper, Ussop and Luffy… he just joined in the screams because they were all screaming and he wanted to too.

─ It took you a good week to assimilate that you weren't in your world, but you got over it thinking about the end of exams, the stress and the panic of losing your scholarship, you were literally like "I'd rather be a pirate than do my homework on integrals and derivatives."

─ Although it was hard to get used to all that stuff about pirates, marines… there was a lot of history behind it that you didn't understand but just keep going, you've still been lucky to have the best team on your side.

─ Luffy would ask a lot of stupid things about your world, God bless you because the boy was completely taking patience away from you, "Yes Luffy, for the tenth time, we poop just like you, stop asking the same question."

─ Zoro stood on the sidelines, just looking at you as if you were going to stab them in the back, while you looked at him and said "sir, calm down a bit, I can barely walk without tripping over my own feet."

─ Nami would be glad to have another bath partner, the only bad thing for her is that you had no money to go into debt with, so for now you were on her good side.

─ Ussop began to be your faithful friend, like Nami and Chopper on some occasions, you added to his ranks as one more scared, although you certainly had good reasons to be more scared than them.

─ Chopper got very worried when he noticed your irregular hours of sleep, you explained to him that it was all part of your school schedule and that it would take you time to change it.

─ Just like you had shitty sleep schedules, your eating schedules went hand in hand, Sanji thought you were worse than Luffy, not because of the amount you ate, but because of the hours you ate, he always scolded you when in the middle of the night he found you in the kitchen, as if you had never been fed in your life.

─ You were closer to Robin, there was something in her that screamed 'motherhood', something that reminded you of your mother and made you see her as one, so every time she spoke to you or explained things of this world, your mind simply writhed thinking, you would end up crying later that night.

─ The one you looked at the most carefully was Franky because what the hell is going on with his hair? You spend hours looking at his hair, wondering what physical laws apply to stay like this or how much damn hairspray he spends in a day.

─ Well, your first impression with Brook was that you had taken drugs or something (same with Chopper tbh). Skeletons aren't supposed to talk in your world, but anyway, over time and after a few punches for his insinuations towards your underwear, you ended up liking his music a lot, you end up asking him to play songs from your world, trying to make them similar.

─ You were running down the street because you were going to be late for your psychology class, not paying attention to the 'cut off for construction' signs so you ended up falling down a sewer and the fall was too long, long enough to give you time to assimilate that you were no longer in your world.

─ Your theories were confirmed when you landed on top of a poor bear, but hey, at least the fall was less painful.

─ Bepo and you shared silent glances until you both spoke at the same time, "Sorry!" "Wait why are you apologizing? One second HOW CAN YOU TALK?" "I'M SORRY!" "DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR THAT!" No, you definitely have to have been high to understand the class you were going to and having a bad experience.

─ Unfortunately no, it was worse than taking drugs, you were in another world, one full of dangers and pirates, no, no, you weren't going through that, you were too tired to assimilate it.

─ The first time you see Law he almost cuts you in half if it weren't for Bepo, you already adored this bear. You had to stay inside the Polar Tang because unfortunately they were on a route in the middle of nowhere.

─ "So now there are two depressive whores in a submarine" you muttered giving the captain of the ship a last look while he left you in a room to talk to the others.

─ The good part, no boring classes, the bad part, what are you supposed to do locked up here? Law didn't trust you so most of the time you had someone on top of you watching you.

─ Your saviors were Penguin and Sachi, they had that energy of idiots who share half a neuron that made you amused, oh, you would cause Law so many headaches for doing so many nonsense with these two men. "Who the hell put bread in my food?!"

─ You didn't have anything fun to do and now… you can assemble your body like it's a puzzle for annoying the captain.

─ Ikkaku and you didn't take long to connect, being the only two women in the cold submarine, you found in her someone to turn to if the change of environment overloaded you at times, because yes, you liked to collapse thinking about your old life when you were alone.

─ Definitely the reason why Law didn't throw you in the middle of the sea or abandon you on some random island was because Ikkaku liked you and he also felt a little sorry for you, so a little more help in the Polar Tang never hurts.

─ Just when you were going over a bridge you decided to take a look, the water moved calmly many meters below you, your intrusive thoughts "jump in and finish all the shit from the studies" while your reasonable part "no, not yet you are young, this is just a small stone in your way."

─ You got rid of all thoughts but oops… someone careless who was riding a bike pushed you enough for your body to fall into the void, well, it seemed that someone had chosen for you.

─ You expected to die at least, hey, you didn't have to go through all the stress, but you definitely didn't think of ending up in another world, falling directly into a ship, strangely you didn't cause any injuries but…

─ "Who the hell are you!?" A deranged redhead grabbed you by the collar of your shirt looking at you as if he was going to bite your throat out. You were scared to death "Is this hell? I knew I shouldn't have cheated on tests."

─ Killer prevented Kid from killing you at that precise moment by indirectly calling him a demon.

─ "I'll throw you overboard you damn brat" In fact, that sounded pretty good after discovering simple things about this world and its brutalities, "bro, I'll throw myself overboard" someone had already pushed you off a bridge, you were ready to die so you didn't care much.

─ "What the hell are you two doing?" Killer just watches as you prepare to jump into the sea while his friend laughs at your stupid bravery. Yes, the blond prevented your possibly second death that day.

─ You find yourself spending more time with Killer because he seems like a mother and you miss yours, he was the most 'understanding' with your situation.

─ Kid just used you to do all the shit work that nobody wanted to do, since you were on his ship you weren't going to sit idly by. But he ended up making you overexert yourself with some things.

─ This caused Heat to see your first stress attack in this world, oh lord, he didn't know what to do when he saw you shaking and crying while pulling some of your hair strands too hard. He just gave you an awkward hug hoping you would stop crying.

─ They found out the hard way that you weren't good at dealing with situations under pressure, you stuck a fork in Wire's hand because they were pestering you at dinner with so many questions and teasing about your world.

─ Kid began to worry when he saw you trying to blow your brains out with one of his guns, at first he thought you were a stupid reckless, but the truth is that you were just a depressed student.

─ He decided that you could stay with them as long as you were not a 'nuisance', the thing is that they ended up becoming fond of you, especially Killer, now you were like his child and he was taking care of you whether you wanted it or not since you will never know when you will return to your old life.

Writing Patterns / First Line Tag

Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there’s a pattern!

I was tagged by the extremely talented @thychesters! Thank you!

gristlebloom / He walks the earth in moonlight, his bright crimson kimono poisonously stark against the desolate landscape.

these are days / “Would you like for your big brother to help you now, Yuu-chan?” Eso calls from his seat on the grassy bank.

mashed potatoes / “You really piss me off.”

every dog (has its day) / The mid-afternoon sun breaks hot and golden into the bedroom, spilling over the tapestry-decorated walls and tangled sheets to scorch Zoro’s cheek and ear.

Blood Song / Luffy sits and waits for Zoro, which is unusual.

The King's Dog / Zoro would say that the assassins’ first mistake was assuming Luffy couldn’t defend himself without the aid of a bodyguard, except they thought a few pretty words would convince Zoro to betray his king.

so much like stars / Law, are you listening?

can't raise hell with a saint / Metal bites into the back of his neck.

what a mirror sees / Nami steps from starlight into the inert chill of her and Robin’s quarters.

I could be (the eye of the storm) / The night air is thick with smoke, but all Conis can smell is the Blue Sea woven into Nami’s skin.

My first assessment is that I have too many titles in all lowercase. I really believed I used those sparingly until now. I think I tend to drop into action fairly quickly? 🤔 Anyway, this was fun!

I'll tag @anarchycox though it's likely she's already been tagged! And @stillnotginger10, @thricepiercedpirate, @tinyforestshark, and @ansimplegoose if they all want to! If you're not tagged and see this, please join in and tag me so I can see it!

#blue writes #writing memes #this was fun!#I got to see where I've been!#and the biiiiig time gap between Blood Song mashed potatoes and these are days yiiikes lol #writing things #jjk #one piece #tristamp

AceLu and CoraLaw interactions I think they would have if they got together + HCs (this is just for fun and these are my opinions/ideas! They're kinda like my guinea pigs now lmao- I don't post so I just send these to you- Sorry:'D I don't spam but if these asks annoy you, let me know!) + Zosan and NamiVivi because yes

—

[After *coughs* making out]

Cora: oh! I smeared lipstick on you. sorry, let me wipe it off-

Law: ...leave it.

Cora: what? why?

Law, instead of answering, walks away with a very obvious blush and lipstick still smeared on his lips and its corners.

(I HC that Cora still wears make-up on occasions and on random times, mostly for Law but sometimes he does like to wear it for himself. He experiments with his looks with Ikkaku. They do skincare together, Law and other crewmembers joins them sometimes)

—

Ace: hey farmboy.

Luffy: hi cowboy!

(Their hats. Luffy literally has a strawhat and Ace's looks like a cowboy hat. He also gives off cowboy vibes- giggles. I think this is the only nickname they'd give each other honestly. They don't look like the type to use nicknames or terms of endearment used by couples. But that's just my opinion)

—

Cora: I got called Donquixote six times today. And also got called 'Doflamingo's little brother' three times. The name/title itself doesn't bother me, it's just people's tones...

Law, quietly: would you like mine?

Cora: what?

Law, stammering out a 'logical' explanation: I mean, if you had someone else's last name people would be more comfortable and accepting... I think. It would make it harder for them to remember and recognise that you're a part of the Donquixote family.

Cora: oh.. makes sense.

Law: so..?

Cora, laughing: propose to me properly, at least!

(Law didn't propose to him that day of course, because 1. he didn't have a ring and 2. he wanted to do it properly. Plus he wanted to surprise Cora. So I'm thinking he probably spent 3-5 weeks waiting before he officially proposed to catch Cora off-guard. Maybe it was grand, or maybe it was on a simple night when they're out on the Polar Tang's deck while talking about everything and nothing at all. In any way I want the Heart crew to be there bc they're precious to me. They burst through the doors and tackle the fiancées to give their congratulations lol. Trafalgar D. Rosinante am I right fellas—)

—

Zoro, watching Sanji lift Luffy's whole body with his legs high up: flexible.

Ace, watching Luffy twist his body to reach the food Sanji is holding: I agree.

—

Cora, Ace, Sanji and Vivi: wife?? why am I the wife?

Law, Luffy, Zoro and Nami: because you're sweet and you look good in white.

(Them >>>)

—

That's all for now!

OMG I,,, love these ideas,,,, they're very fun.... I'm happy to get asks!! It's true that these ships are pretty small, especially on tumblr, so I get that it's nice to just chat about them with another fan 😭

Coraaaaa what a sweetheart, apologizing about the makeup... 😂 I bet Law was the one who started the makeout anyway!!! He planned this!!!

"FARMBOY" AND "COWBOY" THEY'RE SO CUTE. UGH. farmboy luffy and his strawhat sitting in the sunlight, or carrying a bunch of sunflowers and other things he's grown to Ace... I reeeeallllllly want a cute little AU where like, Ace is an experienced cowboy (maybe he works as a ranch hand on Whitebeard's property or something?) and then Luffy buys the open land across from him. He drops by now and then, at first to ask Ace for help with little tasks while setting up his farm (and he always offers to help Ace with his work in return), but then he starts stopping by just to chat with Ace or watch him work or slip in compliments about how cool he looks... Ace is flustered and also thrown off by Luffy's carefree attitude, and the grump inside him thinks Luffy won't last a month as a farmer. But Luffy's persistent, and (with the help of a seemingly endless list of friends) he gets a nice farm going... Maybe he even starts bringing Ace flowers from the small patch by his house................... And Ace mellows out and admits that he's sweet on him and,,,,, ahhh,,,,,

eek got carried away. I just love AUs. 😭 I agree, they don't seem like the type for petnames, at least not in canon... maybe in different settings... But wow... Luffy waking up with Ace and going "Morning, Cowboy" and Ace laughing like "I'm not even wearing the hat right now"

"would you like mine" "Trafalgar D. Rosinante" that's SO!! romantic!!!!! Law letting that offer slip like he hasn't been thinking about it for the last year... That proposal would be so cute!! Especially with his crew celebrating their captain's happiness 😭 he really did find a good bunch of weirdos as a found family 😭😭

laughing forever at one-track-mind Zoro and Ace. Sometimes... those boys are dumb. I love them. also LOVE those 4 getting called sweet, they are!!! and they would look good in white......

#some day i want to draw wedding outfits for some op ships #except like... i want the outfits to be that weird mix of casual and fantasy that op lands on #definitely not like completely traditional at least #ah.......#headcanons

The One About Roronoa Zoro

Okay, wow. So this was originally meant to be a post about ZoLaw, but it just kept getting longer and longer... so I decided to split it up into multiple parts. One for Zoro, one for Law, and one that will take about the two of them

(Because the reason it kept getting so long was that I started going on a rants about each character and what defines them, and it was really just getting out of hand) (And damn, this is LONG, I'm sorry, I was avoiding homework (this is your warning))

So let's first start with the Straw Hat's swordsman, someone lovingly referred to by most fans as the crew's First Mate (although it's not canon per say, it may as well be), Zoro!

First, I'd like to look at his background, because that (very obviously) informs the characters in One Piece to a great extent. Now Zoro's isn't the most fleshed out of the group. Honestly speaking, that is the case for most of the East Blue crew. The reason Luffy and Sanji actually have so much to their pasts is because we went back and fleshed them out more (see later introductions of Ace and Sabo, heck even Garp, and the fact that Sanji wasn't anything more than a kid shipwrecked on an island until WCI happened). Before these reveals, questions such as "How the hell did Sanji end up parentless on a transoceanic tourist boat?" or "Why the heck is Luffy just hanging around with pirates and seemingly no guardians??" were unanswered. The same sort of questions exist for Nami "Why did she end up abandoned and in Bellemere's care in the first place?" or Zoro (I will be bringing those up as we progress). Usopp is generally pretty fleshed out, actually, as in I can't personally think of any questions I have in specific about his background, maybe "When did his dad leave??"

On that point, with Usopp, I know generally Sanji is the poster child for character development in the Straw Hats what with his whole Germa background, but Usopp has an absolutely wonderful character arc (at least in my opinion, which, my blog, but also feel free to disagree, I'd love to here other's thoughts) and one that is still going!! Like his goal is one that literally requires his growth as a character. He can't be a great warrior of the sea if he doesn't believe in himself and-- I'm sorry, I'm getting carried away, I just really like Usopp, sorry.

Anyway, the point of all that was meant to be to demonstrate the fact that we don't know everything about these characters, and if we do, it's because it has been brought up again. And that doesn't even mean we know everything about them (Luffy's primary goal, for example). So that, and the fact that these aspects are still being developed in some cases!!

Anyway, back to Zoro!! And his backstory.

Here we reach the first thing that drive me absolutely up the wall: why in the ever-loving heck does he want to be the World's Greatest Swordsman?? He comes to Kuina with that goal, and their promise strengthens it, but, why, oh why, is that a goal of his in the first place??

(And sorry, another side note, but the differences between the representations of Zoro's backstory drive me up the goddamned wall, the vibe is completely different between the manga, anime, and live action. I originally had only read the manga, and was so, so confused why people would think that Kuina's father hated her and maybe killed her. Then I watched the anime and like, I get now it a lot more, but the fact that they are so variant is still insane to me)

Anyway, what do we know? Zoro's mom died from sickness; Zoro's father died at the hands of pirates. Presumably before he left for sea, and probably before joining the dojo and meeting Kuina.

(Even before Kuina, he wanted to become the World's Greatest Swordsman. And why is that? What is it that makes this man tick? It drives me insane! (Just, we can answer so many questions about so many motivations across so many characters, and the fact that I can be so completely lost when it comes to two of the main characters (Zoro and Luffy) drives me up the wall))

Right, so did he get his need to be strong from one of his parents or their deaths? Someone else he knew? Did he hear stories from Kozaburo or something and that inspired him? Or does he feel like he needs to protect himself? Like, he is obsessed with strength, and although his promise to Kuina strengthened (haha) that need, it just can't be the sole factor, because his need for strength is behind his entire character.

Now that's a fairly large claim, but, what drives Zoro as a character? What sticks out most about him?

Generally, it wouldn't seem like it's strength. Like yeah the weights he lifts are ridiculous and a recurring joke (semi-joke?) when it comes to him, but I'd bet it's not the thing that you'd think first about Zoro.

Another idea could be competition? Maybe? His goal is inherently competitive, and he'll stop at nothing to achieve it. And some people are just driven to be the best. That's it, and that's fair. That being said, he also doesn't need to be the strongest, just the strongest swordsman. He's fine with following Luffy, not leading.

Honestly, I'm one person basing all this off of my own thoughts (not the best sort of evidence for an experiment), but if you think of Zoro, I'm willing to bet that there's one specific character trait that comes to mind.

And that is his loyalty.

It is loyalty that drives most of his action (his loyalty to Kuina and their promise in large part driving him forward to complete his goal, and his loyalty to Luffy and the crew determining many of his other actions, ie. Thriller Bark, bowing to Mihawk), but what drives him outside of that? If we stripped away that goal, what would be left of him as a character??

Let's look at some patterns in the major point of his character in order to break this issue of loyalty.

First, let's look at those tied in some aspect to his dream, or more accurately the risk of it. Those are: fighting Mihawk, Thriller Bark, bowing to Mihawk. All of these are instances in which his loyalty to Luffy and dedication to not breaking a promise has caused him to act in ways that go directly against the completion of his dream. So his dream can't be the only driving for being the strongest (if speaking in terms of parameters, we can say that it is dominated by something else). Looking at these, are they tied to strength? Yes, in a sense, these are moments in which Zoro wasn't strong enough. And these are major character moments for him. They had insane impact on him. And they all have to do with him being confronted with the fact, full on and unavoidably, that he isn't strong enough.

We also have instances of him being much more serious than the others, such as: Whiskey Peak, not immediately trusting Robin, the "stop goofing around" on Punk Hazard, how hard he is on himself after every fight. For as goofy as Zoro is, he is exceedingly cautious. If there's a danger, he is wary of it and is prepared/will prepare to ensure he can fight it. He is careful of the strangeness of Whiskey Peak and Robin. And he is aware of the treat of the world, takes it seriously, and acknowledges that he needs to be strong enough to overcome it. If he struggled, he pushes himself even harder, even if he's still recovering.

And finally, another huge part of Zoro's character is his reaction to perceived betrayal (perceived as in what he identifies as a betrayal): Nami, Usopp, Robin, Sanji. The second he feels betrayed, he will but someone out and move on. "Zoro's so loyal!!" Okay, yeah, but what's this?? For most Straw Hats, they are loyal to the end, and it would seem like Zoro is too (Thriller Bark, again), but this is completely antithetical to that. So why?

It's about Zoro and the intersection between his loyalty, his trust, and his strength. Whoever he is loyal to must have absolute trust in him. Literally any time someone on the Straw Hat's leaves. Zoro completely shuts down when they do. He acts as though he doesn't care. Because, to him, they didn't trust him enough to rely on him, and Zoro needs people to rely on him. It's just how he works. He needs to be able to protect people and needs those people to know that he can protect them. And this is all driven by strength. If they don't trust him, if they don't think he can help, that says something about how strong they think he is. It's an insult to his strength that they don't think to ask him for help, implying that he is not enough. (It also protects himself emotionally to move on a fast a possible.) He needs transparency, requires it, because anything else implies he can't be trusted.

The issue of strength runs rampant through this character. He has this unavoidable need to protect himself. And although he will do his best to protect those he cares about, to is not an unending grace. It's as though all he does is work to defend himself from any sort of emotion hurt or rejection. (It's as though he is waiting to be thrown away. Like the parallel I could draw with Usopp... I won't, not now...)

At the same time though, if he doesn't succeed, then he reasons he wasn't strong enough and that's the end of it.

God! Just why??!? What?!! What is going on with him?? I'd really like to know.

(And god, fuck, I want to talk about the death pact now and what that implies, but this is so long already,,, I'm just... I'll dissect that later or something)

Damn, I've talked forever and I feel as though all I've done is determine that this man is a strength obsessed gremlin with issues. I may need to come back to this later, but for now, this is all I'll say...

#roronoa zoro #one peice #I can't believe THIS came out of a ZoLaw analysis #he's just so interesting to me #like what is going on here???#this got so much longer than I thought it would haha #...holy fuck it's almost 1900 words T-T #...love you Zoro #this is what happens when you're avoiding homework

Spiderwebs Pt.1: The Pace & Prince Charming

Time to give Dressrosa its due. I’m not the biggest fan of this arc, but I’m liking it more now that I’m seeing how it fits into the big picture. Interesting one for me too; I’ve been a fan long enough I kinda think about parts of my life around the releasing arcs. Dressrosa almost perfectly overlaps with Grad School for me, which was a very happy time. Though one I didn’t really make much more time for manga than getting up a little early and reading the new chapter each week. You may have already gathered I enjoy the Grand Fleet a lot, particularly Cabbage & the Tontatta. We’ll get to one of those in a minute.

The pitch here is not that Dressrosa as a whole is some big step in this overarching fil rouge. Here, the devil is in only about the first third. While the entire crew and Momonosuke are present we’ll see a lot of great beats that poke at the Straw Hats’ weak side. It starts right here, with Doflamingo’s “pace” or momentum. We’ll hit this deeper, but the idea is Doffy is this type of character when they’re a villain. He’s how dangerous someone with these skills can be. Katakuri’s a version of Luffy who’s had this growth already, then I’d argue Kiku is the good person who shows how to apply the same concepts. Luckily Law’s here right? He’s a good gap-filler! Except...this arc will carry a lot of water setting up why it needs to be someone else.

See what I mean? It didn’t take long. And look at who ends up delivering the message? Law gave it his best shot and got played. Dressrosa devolves from what could have been a solid plan because Doflamingo was just better. Luckily he could be outmuscled, and fate had other plans. This failure inspiring the Tontatta and others to take their last shot. It’s kinda like if Luffy showed up 10 years into Wano’s long winter and gave Ashura Doji’s men the extra boost they needed. Stuff like negotiating a hostage exchange or maybe say, recognizing a way to use Caesar and expose crimes anyways as a recovery are the types of things Kiku is the right territory to excel at. Robin’s a great spy, but she’s too socially awkward. That’s not a knock, around this point in the story there’s an SBS answer where Oda patently describes her as such. Just like spelling out Kiku’s sociability in a later one.

Let’s not forget there is this big hook too. Doflamingo and VA Tsuru’s rivalry is there in both’s first appearance. Right around when we’re meeting Blackbeard and Bellamy. The Crane is the one who knows how to deal with a naughty boy like this. Gotta say though I love their little rivalry being a thing even if nothing else comes of it. Moving on, Doffy has the StrawHeart Alliance nailed with his counter to the opening shot. By all accounts he easily could have ended both. The Colosseum was a perfect trap for Luffy. And that is where I can’t help but notice at least one big moment that seems to carry a lot more weight after Bakura Town.

Rebecca. I’ve already hinted at this and it’ll get it’s spotlight. Rebecca & Kyros’s story make for an excellent contrast with Kiku & Kin’s. Diagenically, I’d argue seeing the Dressrosa pair maybe made Kin’emon start to feel conflicted about her. It was subtle but there the whole time. Forget that for a moment though, just this scene. The girl standing against the scorn of the masses. What’s the difference between here and the Sumo ring? Rebecca’s hurt by it, she does cry. She’s a little younger and softer overall but at the end of the day Kiku’s better able to shrug it off. We’re not done though, it’s how she ends up getting that same trick we’ve seen elsewhere when someone else joins the fray.

Cavendish you pretty idiot I love you. We can use Luffy’s face for scale; Kiku impressed him way more but it doesn’t diminish Cabbage. The obvious comparison is she made the better first impression (giving Luffy food and tending to Zoro) and was a lot cooler in her big moment. Biggest difference is he’s still a former noble forced out of that life, we never see that “no person called chattel” element out of him. Think like what I’ve said about Boa. Cavendish has all the tools, his bounty speaks for his capability, but he’s too vain and self-absorbed. Likewise not the type to follow others, he’s a solid enough captain that has survived the New World independently so far. He is showing off the skills. Swaying the crowd with pomp and circumstance. Teasing a gentle side. Not to mention...

Such a funky pose! Oh yeah, this gets oddly specific at points. Hakuba seems really huge when Dressrosa’s beautiful swordsman has this whole “bakura” shtick going on too. Notably a demon side he cannot control. We’ve talked about Pudding, both will get those iconic split face panels to really drive it home. Also a cool little quirk, Cavendish’s attack names are a lot of Western theatre and literary references. I also love Kiku having some shade for Caggage in PW4. Really there’s a fair amount of comparability between this stretch of Dressrosa and Act 1. Think about Cavendish first appearing trying to explain the weight restrictions. Luffy doesn’t listen. Excellent contrast to Kiku who he respects more off the bat.

To me, Dressrosa is in hindsight a great example of what we try to avoid in Wano. Being exposed too early, a nationwide manhunt. It’s a “dress” rehearsal for the play, if you will. This plan could have gone off without a hitch and brought down Kaido’s wrath on Doffy. But they got played, they got invested, and it ends up paying off big time for the Straw Hats in gaining the Grand Fleet. A lot of the eventual captains of that fleet end up doing a good job of showing an element that’s missing. Just, especially when we fill them out with the cover stories, we’ll see that they lack big things too. A lot of these things will be positive traits that run through Kiku’s side of Wano. Showing her as someone who can balance a lot of them. Cavendish is the most on-the-nose by a mile.

thoughts on wano arc now that it's over?

hi anon i haven't been active on Tumblr at all for the past... what?! month now? So i have to apologise for not answering this when you sent it to me I hope it hasn't been that long. Regardless let's get into it. Warning: spoilers duh

So Wano was definitely an important arc, and it was a good arc I would say, maybe i would give it an 7.5/10 because it had its very good moments especially Gear 5 which I feel like it kind of carries the whole arc by itself and without it, it would be maybe a 6 out of 10 arc.

Unfortunately though, the Arc had some things that I personally, didn't like that much:

My biggest problem is mostly with the way Zoro's character was handled as well as some missed opportunities here and there; I would have preferred that Kinemon had died on the rooftop when the scabbards fought Kaido because it would have made the moment very emotional and made the stakes higher. Also i believe Izo should have survived the battle because his death was kind of unnecessary to me from a narrative standpoint, plot wise I understand but i feel like it could have been avoided.

Going back to Zoro, it's no secret he's my favorite but i like to think that i judge him fairly and so far he's had minimal character development that was His and only His. Wano was hyped to be "zoros arc" bc it comes right after wci which was sanji's arc and it's about fucking time we get some info about the mossmans past. During the whole arc he's constantly compared to Ushimaru and Ryuma only at the end to be confirmed that he is completely unrelated to them and he fights the second in command of the main villains crew as always, very cliché and a let down after all the hype that the possibility of him fighting kaido along luffy got. At the end Luffy is the one who's compared to Ryuma which was so weird?!?

Anyway, bottom line is, i got mossbaited.

Another disappointing conclusion was that of Yamato and not for the reason you think. Honestly i knew he wasn't gonna join very early on, ask me how i knew but you'll laugh, but the REASON oda gave was so lame!?! Wym explore wano?!? Boy get ur ass on that ship istg😭😭😭. Explore Wano my ass. Come on Oda be fucking fr. I got newnakamabaited.

i don't like that momo was turned into an adult but his mind is still 8 years old... like that don't sit right with me it just doesn't. His design looks good and everything but he's literally a child in an adults body it's weird i don't like it.

Hyori ending that shitface orochi was great but i wish Zoro played more of a role or at least was PRESENT when it happened bc he literally SWORE he would avenge Yasue!!! ODA OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR I JUST WANNA TALK!!

ok now that i got the criticism out of my system here is the good impressions:

Gear fucking FIVE BABY! that shit was crazy and so well thought out absolutely marvelous.

Zoro unlocking his kingly ambition was sick as fuck and he did have some incredible moments this arc that i really appreciate.

Robins first serious fight since pre ts 😭😭💓💓💓💕😌😌i loved it, as well as sanji's character development and the progress he's made <3

Kid and Law teaming up and all the moments they get to interact woth each other and the strawhats are sperb. I love it. the final separation was disappointing though, needed more tears and sad music from both law and luffy. (I'm joking that wouldn't be in character but.it would have been hilarious)

The bounties I'm pretty ok with. Jimbe getting such a high bounty was surprising, it might mean smth more than we know.

Also Shank's appearance 🤩🤩🤩

And the crossguild... the panel of croc and mihawk... Dilf nation REJOICE! THEY'RE BACK! God i fucking missed mihawk and now he's gonna be more active in the story i can't fucking waitttt

Overall good arc, great moments and essential to the story. the shipping game was strong especially for rarepairs and ships that haven't been very talked about in a long time were revived bc the characters interacted again after years lmfao so that's a win.

thank you for the ask, if there's any specific thing you wanna talk about go ahead bc I'm sure i forgot some stuff. <333

Loss and Gain [Ace x OC x Sabo!] Prt 2 Dressrosa

Authors note: So since I haven’t caught up in One Piece in a while (I’m in Dressrosa rn lord it’s long >_>) some stuff won’t make sense and all that, I apologize for it and if I see that it doesn’t make since I’ll work it out later on! Anyway enjoy!

Two years passed since Ace died at Marineford. I quit being a pirate all together as well. Marco accepted my decision and told me to be whatever I wanted to be. That I didn’t know who to be. Without Ace being beside me, telling me where to go, how to do things… I can’t make the call. Eventually I ended up just going along whatever the sea felt like was best for me. The One Piece is out there… but I’m sure Luffy was going to find it, and I want him to find it anyway. The thought of Luffy loosing his brother also weighed on my mind as I am in another part of the world away from my own family, my sibling. I can only pray again that Luffy will be okay and to guide me to whatever I need to do. I was lost. Had no goal. The only goal was erased now so… what now?

After a month of useless searching. I landed on an island that was a bit away from Punk Hazard, that’s when I met Law. He was a pirate but recognized my character. How it was broken down and no motivation. He told me we can team up and that a bigger threat is on the loose. I didn’t care at first until he said that lots of innocent people were going to get hurt or dead. Most importantly it had to do with the Marines and the World Government as a whole. Something sparked that day and it took me a while to find Law again, but I agreed to be an ally with him to take care of the threat.

Punk hazard was a mess. It was cold as hell on one end and hot on the other. Law told me the Admirals fought one another and created this island, part I’ve part lava. Just the thought of that scared me. If they can create an island based off that, they could easily destroy the world if they wanted to. Soon Law and I reached a large building and he was explaining to me what to do and who was the target. Then I heard a familiar voice. It was Luffy and his crew my eyes bottled up with tears and I automatically apologized to him for not saving his brother. Luffy said that it wasn’t my fault and that Ace would have wanted us to become stronger and push to our goals. I didn’t tell him that I haven’t had a set point on what my goal was. I was just following Law’s role for the moment.

Days went by and Punk Hazard’s villain, Caeser, was kidnapping children to test some sort of experiment on them. It was awful. “Why would someone do this? To kids?” I asked and Law responded, “People are born to treat others like trash, no one knows the reason.” After that we teamed up with Luffy again, not after their characters had to be fixed, to rescue the children and stop Ceaser. Soon when we did it Law and I went to a room where Ceaser has a bunch of fruits. Law told me that he was making fake Devil fruits and then we got ambushed and he told me to run. I didn’t want to leave him alone so we fought together and eventually Ceaser stood down.

After that battle, we joined with Luffy and the straw hats to go to the next destination that Law told us. Dressrosa. He told us that Ceaser was a pawn to the bigger picture and that the real enemy was Doflamingo. We all agreed to help, but the only problem is when we got there… Law was gone. I went with Luffy and Zoro to search for him… but thanks to the over crowded area I got lost. I started to freak out as I didn’t want to somehow end up with the bad guy.

I walked around a few more blocks before stopping at a shop that sold clothes and food. I looked around and noticed how exposed the women clothes were and decided not to buy it. Soon I grabbed something and went on my way. After a while I started to give up the search and went to a random bunch of tables and sat at one. “Damn… if Ace was here… I would have been out of this situation and would have found Law…” I mumbled and took a bite of my food. There was more people walking about and talking about the colosseum and the fight that was that day. I wanted to see myself and thought that maybe Luffy was there. Okay… that’s a good start! I finished my food and went to get up as I then ran into someone with a huge thud.

My glasses flew across and as I went to look up all I saw was a black and blue blob. “Sorry! I didn’t see you there!” It was a man. “No worries. I’m just in a hurry to find someone.” I went to the ground and started to search. Suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder and then a gloved hand with my glasses were in front of me, “These yours?”

“Yeah! Thank you!” I bowed my head and grabbed them from him and put them on. I sighed as my vision came back and stood to thank him again. The man had blond hair, black eyes, and a top hat with googles. His attire was fancy like and he wore a black coat. “Thank you again. Sorry I ran into you.” I put my hand up with a sheepish smile. “Don’t worry about it. You said you were looking for someone, want me to help?”

“Huh? No, you already found my glasses. I don’t want you to do anymore for a stranger like me.” I said and he smiled largely, “Maybe we won’t be strangers.” I was confused by his words as he then took out his hand to shake, “My name is Sabo, I’m here looking for someone as well!” My hand was hesitant as I went to shake, “Victoria…”

“Great! Now we can help one another. I have to find someone very important. Once we get that done, I’ll help you find your person.”

“Thanks… but I already told you-“

“Let’s get started shall we? I’m in a bit of a hurry myself as my friend wants me to get this done ASAP!” Sabo turned on his heel and started to walk off and I was trying desperately to explain why he shouldn’t help. It reminded me of someone. But I couldn’t put a finger on it.

Later we ended up in the colosseum. I looked around and was confused. “Your person is fighting in the colosseum?” I asked and he hummed, “He’s very important like I said. Once we find him, I’ll have to explain a lot of stuff, but I’m sure he’ll understand.” Seems like a close friend. “So since is where I needed to go as well, maybe we can split up?”

“No no! That’s too risky, plus you’ll only get lost again.” Sabo said and I was about to protest when I stopped and turned to him slowly. How’d he know? Sabo turned to face me and I felt a shiver down my spine. What’s up with him? “You were talking about someone by the name of Ace hours ago, weren’t you?” My heartbeat went insane. Was he the enemy? “Don’t need to be scared. I’m an ally. You see, Ace is my brother.” My eyes widened as I slowly pointed up, “You’re… You’re his brother too?”

“Yes I am. We go way back- what do you mean by ‘too’?” He asked as he tilted his head. I blinked, “Someone else said he was Ace’s brother… his name is Luffy.” Sabo’s smile went wide again, “Yep. He’s also my brother!”

“WHAT?!” My jaw dropped as I put my hands on my head, “That’s insane! Another brother?! And you’re just telling me now?! Why didn’t you tell me before?!” I yelled and Sabo laughed, “Cause you bumped into me remember? Then dropped your glasses. So I couldn’t just drop the bomb right then and there about it.” I put my hands down, “I guess you’re right…” He continued to stare at me, that’s when I noticed a burn mark on his left eye. Maybe a childhood burn? “You see… when you also said you’re name. I remembered the small note you put on Ace’s grave. He must have impacted you a lot Huh?” My chest hurt, “Yeah…” The note I left before I quit was a heart felt one. About how I looked up to Ace and how I wanted to tell him how much I loved him, to only be too late. “Hey.” My head went back to look up at Sabo. “It wasn’t your fault. Don’t blame yourself for his death.” Tears went to my eyes as I wiped them, “I know, but… I should have pressed harder…”

“At least you were there for him…” Sabo muttered and put his hat over his face, “I… suffered from amnesia after a Celestial shot me down as a kid… after that I worked for the Revolutionary Army for years… until I heard of his death and all the memories came back…” My eyes soften, “So. Don’t blame yourself. I blamed myself for not being there for him all those years. Plus I’m pretty sure he wants all of us to push forward for a better future.”

“Yeah… say Luffy said the same thing when we were on Punk Hazard.” I smiled and Sabo smiled back, “He is our brother alright. We always somehow have the same wavelength, the three of us.” Now I know about Luffy’s second brother, more compassion drizzled to them. “Say… Luffy was the person I was actually looking for-“

“No way! Me too! Say, let’s find him together, but don’t tell him that I’m his brother! Let it be a surprise!”

“Why? Did he forget you or something?”

“You’ll see. Let’s go to the dressing room.” Sabo said and led the way. Soon we met up with Luffy who dressed up in a beard and was called Luci. Sabo introduced himself to get the Flame-Flame fruit and soon confessed to being Luffy’s brother. Luffy explained that Sabo died that day when he was shot down. Sabo and Luffy had a reunion with a giant hug. All I can do was laugh a bit as Luffy was now not alone without a brother, he had Sabo. Come to think of it… maybe Sabo is a little like Ace. But I might be reading through the lines…

King And Queen Of The Pirates Part 48

The Twins Promise! Luffy and Aya and The Whale Vow To Meet Again!

"Listen closely and will reveal to you Laboon's tragic story." Crocus told the crew.

"One fine sunny day, while I was prefilling my duties as the lighthouse keeper. Some good-natured pirates came down Reverse Mountain. They were followed by a baby whale, spry and chipper whom I would soon come to know as the one and only Laboon. He is an island whale one of the largest in the world. They are a rare species found only in the West Blue. Laboon had developed a bond with the pirates, travelling with them for much of their journey. But knowing the dangers of the Grand Line, the pirates chose to leave Laboon behind in the West Blue. But the stubborn little whale followed them anyway. As a general rule, island whales are social animals and travel together in family groups. I suspect that Laboon have somehow come to feel that those pirates were his family. The wear and tear on the pirates' ship was quite severe so they stayed here for several months. In that time, I too come to form a close relationship with them. Thus, when the day of their departure finally arrived, the pirates asked me to look after Laboon when they returned from their voyage.

That was 50 long years ago."

"50 years? So, Laboon has been waiting all this time for his friends to return?" Aya spoke.

"No wonder he's so upset. That kind of wait would drive anyone crazy." Nami replied.

The Merry sailed in the tunnel following Crocus on his island as he led them to the exit.

"This is some canal. It's amazing that the whale is still alive with a hole like this in his body." Zoro murmured.

"I suppose you're responsible for this?" Sanji asked the old man.

"I'm a doctor." Crocus answered.

"Doctor?" Usopp asked.

"That's right. Legally certified. I also run a clinic on the cape once upon a time. Before that, I served as the ship's doctor."

"Really? That's great! Then join us! We need a doctor!" Luffy grinned.

"Don't be ridiculous. I no longer have that kind of energy. I've had my adventures."

"What kind of a doctor hollows out the inside of a whale?" Zoro questioned.

"Maybe it's part of the treatment?" Nami spoke.

"The girl is right. With a creature of this size, it's virtually impossible to treat it from the outside. Therefore, I devised a more drastic solution. Here's the exit." Crocus answered. He climbed up the wall and walked over to a lever, turning it. The metal door slid open and the Merry sailed out as it left the whale.

"Let's go!" Luffy laughed.

"Don't you think 50 years is a bit extreme? Those pirates sure know how to test someone's patience." Usopp said.

"Idiot, don't you get it? This is the Grand Line. His friends are dead. That whale can wait forever, they won't be back." Sanji spoke.

"Sad to say but that's probably true. Back in the day when those guys traveled the Grand Line, it was an uncharted sea. A thousand times more treacherous than it is now." Nami pointed out.

"Why are you all being so pessimistic! You don't know that they're dead! They could still come back for him. Come on, have some sympathy, will you! I thought that it was very touching. I mean, a whale still believing a promise his friends made despite all of these years. That's a true bond, right, pops?" Usopp asked him.

"Indeed. But the lesson here is that reality is cruel. Laboon cohorts are dead. The truth is that they've abandoned their quest. I learned that they have turned tail and left the Grand Line." Crocus answered.

"I don't believe it. I mean, why abandon him like that!?" Usopp shouted in disblief.

"You say that they ran away from the Grand Line. Do you know if they made it out of the Calm belt alive?" Nami asked Crocus.

"I can't claim to know exactly what became of them, but I doubt that they'll ever come back here ever again. Seasons, weather, currents, wind direction, on the Grand Line these elements seem to defy the very law of nature." Aya frowned in suspicion.

"Like something's keeping people out?" She asked him. Crocus blinked as he stared at her in surprise. Ichi and L looked surprised as well at her words so did everyone else. Luffy laughed.

"Well, if it is. Bring it on!"

"Don't be silly. It's just a dangerous and treacherous place to go." Nami assured Aya.

"Yeah, I mean, nobody has the power to do that. It's impossible." Usopp told her.

"So, what I got this straight what you're saying, these pirates were a bunch of cowards who appeared more about saving their own asses than keeping a promise to a friend." Sanji said to Crocus.

"Why would anyone want to abandon such a loyal creature? Just look at it! It's cruelty on a grand scale!" Usopp shouted, angrily.

"But if you've known all of this then why haven't you told him? Laboon can obviously communicate with you. He seems to understand humans quite well for a whale." Nami asked Crocus.

"I did tell him. Down to the last miserable detail. That was the day that Laboon began to howl in Reverse Mountain. Soon after he began to slam his body against the Red Line. It's as if he believes that wall is what keeps his friends away and by breaking it, he can create a path for their return." He explained to them. Aya stared at the whale sadly.

"I admire his dedication." Sanji answered.

"He never gave up on them." Usopp spoke.

"He refuses to believe me cause then he has to admit that it's over. And that terrifies him more than anything. There's no way for him to go back to the West Blue. So, what we have is a paradox of tragic proportions. Laboon is a lost soul dying to live his friends but won't stop until he reaches them." Crocus replied.

"Tragic. Still for all of the grief those pirates put him through, they did the same to you by saddling you with their burden. I mean, you've done enough for Laboon, what about you?" Sanji asked him.

"The scars on his hide are deep but those in his heart are deeper. He needs someone to tends to his wounds and I'm all his got. For years, he's battered himself while I patched him up." Crocus told them. Suddenly, Luffy jumped off from the Merry, holding a piece of the mast in his hands. He ran up Laboon carrying it in his hands.

"What the hell is that idiot up to?" Sanji hissed.

"Turn our back for a second and look what happens." Zoro murmured.

"Gum Gum "

"Do you think he's aware that that's our mast?" Zoro frowned.

"Now it's on top of a whale." Sanji sighed.

"Why'd he do that? Luffy, stop tearing up the ship!" Usopp shouted. The whale let out a angry deep wail and slammed his head down hard into the water, making a huge wave.

"LUFFY, STOP!" Everyone shouted at the straw hat captain. Laboon began to wildly thrash Luffy around as he tried to shake him off. Luffy hanged onto the mast refusing to let go. Then the whale jumped from out of the sea and headed head first straight into Crocus's lighthouse, crashing into it.

"The boy! He's dead!" The old man cried out in worry.

"Don't worry, it'll take way more than that to kill Luffy!" Nami reassured him. Luffy sat up with a smirk, seeing the whale back away, painfully, as blood began to pour from it's head from the crash.

"Gotcha!" Laboon dived straight at Luffy to attack him again. Luffy quickly dodged out of the way and jumped up, punching the whale in his eye. Laboon smacked Luffy away from him, knocking the captain into the lighthouse. Luffy quickly bounced off of it, heading back at the whale.

"What does he think he's doing!?" Usopp exclaimed. Laboon smacked Luffy back, sending him into the lighthouse again.

"Do you want to let us in on your plan or what!?" Zoro called out.

"Luffy's challenging him." Aya told them. Everyone blinked in surprise then turned back to Luffy and the whale. Laboon charged at Luffy again to deliver another blow. Luffy stood up.

"It's a draw." Laboon stopped in his tracks, looking at Luffy in surprise. Luffy looked back up at him, smirking. "I'm stronger than I look. But I have a feeling that you knew that. I can always tell when someone's itching to fight. If you want to battle, I'll gladly give you one. Your shipmates used to spar with you, and you miss them. I can rival anything that they threw at you. Tell you what, after me and my friends travel the Grand Line, we'll come back here and find you. And then you better be ready for a rematch!" The whale stared at Luffy silently before it teared up and let out a long deep wail. Luffy grinned.

Luffy grabbed a couple of buckets of paint and a paint brush and painted the straw hat's jolly roger onto Laboon's head. Luffy grinned as he stepped back looking at his work.

"There we go! Not bad if I say so myself! Consider this as a promise to come do battle with you. Of course, it's a rush paint job so you'll have to be careful and avoid hitting your head or you'll rub it off, understand?" He asked. The whale grunted in response. Luffy grinned. "Good whale!"

Everyone else was working on fixing up the Merry's damages when Usopp noticed Mr.9 and Miss Wednesday had disappeared, seeing their ropes lying on the deck in their place. "Hey, where are they?"

"Where are who? Oh, you mean those two weirdos. They must have escaped. It must have happened when we were distracted by Laboon. I wonder who they were." Nami said. Luffy hopped on board, helping out. His foot tapped into something and he looked down to see a small hourglass looking object with a needle and picked it up.

"What's this thing?" He questioned, looking at it.

Nami gathered her maps and her compass as she was sitting by the lighthouse, looking over them to find the best route to take.

"Okay, I finally have some peace and quiet so I can work on a plan for the Grand Line journey."

Sanji was in the kitchen starting to prepare up some lunch for everyone. He opened the ship's cooler, revealing the elephant tune inside of it. He grinned.

"Don't think that I forgot about you, Elephant fin tuna."

Usopp was fixing up the ship's mast that Luffy had torn off, placing metal sheets around it. "Damn it. This is my life, Luffy breaks it and I have to put it back together again! Hey, get off your lazy butt and give me a hand! This ship isn't gonna fix itself, you know!" He shouted angrily at the swordsman who was napping a few feet away from him. "Need some help?" Usopp blinked and looked up to see Aya, carrying some more metal. Ichi and L were behind her carrying some wood and nails as well.

"Thanks." He grinned. The four continued to work on fixing the mast. Usopp glanced over at Ichi and L, seeing Aya staring at them.

"Hey, why didn't you say anything to the old man about your condition? Maybe he could help." He whispered to her.

"I've been to enough doctors only to hear the same results. There's nothing that can be done." She told him.

"You don't know that! There could be a chance-"

"Usopp, please just drop it." Aya quickly interrupted him. He blinked at her. "I don't want to have hope only for it to be crushed again and again. I've accepted it."

"Well, I haven't." He told her, grabbing her hand. Aya stared at him in surprise. "I'm not going to give up and neither should you. We need you. I need you. Don't throw away your dream." Aya chuckled.

"You're trying to make me cry, aren't you?" She smiled, softly.

Usopp stammered. "No! I wasn't! I was trying to-"

Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing when Nami let out a blood curdling scream.

"Do you mind? Keep it down." Luffy shouted. Sanji quickly jumped to where Nami was balancing several plates of food made from the fish on his head and hands.

"Is there some problem, my dearest Nami!? If it's food your worried about, say no more!" He smiled.

"Did someone say food?" Usopp called out, climbing up. "I'm in!" Aya climbed up along with Ichi and L, hungry as well. Also, wondering what has gotten Nami so upset.

"You idiots! The compass is broken, the needle just spins. It won't stop!" Nami told them. Everyone walked over to the table, leaning in and saw that the needle was spinning wildly on her compass. Aya blinked in surprise.

"Oh yeah, you're right." Sanji spoke.

"I don't know about you but I'm getting dizzy." Usopp replied.

"Do you think maybe's it's because of where we at?" Aya pointed out.

"The girl is right." Everyone heard Crocus spoke. They looked up at him. "It appears that none of you have the knowledge of how things work here. There's nothing wrong with your compass. The Grand Line has little regards for the rules of the sea. Common sense is useless in this place."

"The needle why does it spin?" Nami asked him.

"Because we are surround by a powerful magnetic field. The islands here are riddled with magnetic minerals which cause all sorts of abnormal abnormalities, throwing off the winds and currents as well. As a navigator I can assure you can appreciate this dilemma." Crocus explained to them.

"So then if we don't have a way to tell the direction, this whole trip is hopeless." Nami sighed.

"Yummy!" Luffy was eating up some of the food, along with Ichi while everyone else was talking.

"I don't know what to say. We're screwed!" Nami exclaimed.

"You're the navigator, so navigate us out of here!" Usopp shouted.

"WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP FOR FIVE SECONDS SO I CAN FIGURE THIS OUT!?" Nami shouted angrily at him.

"If you have any hope of navigating the Grand Line you're going to need a log pose to guide you." Crocus spoke.

"Log pose? I've never heard of it." Nami said to him.

"It's a special designed compass that can record levels of magnetism." He told her. Luffy blinked and reached into his pocket pulling out the hourglass object, holding it out.

"Is it something like this?" He asked.

"Yes, exactly. Only a fool calling disaster would attempt to travel the Grand Line without one." Crocus nodded. Nami smiled.

"Understood. Excuse me for one second. So-" She turned to Luffy and punched him in the cheek. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU HAD ONE OF THOSE LOG THINGS!?"

"I found it on deck, just laying there! Those two weirdos must have dropped it when they escaped!" He replied.

"Did they?" Nami frowned at him.

"Why'd you hit me!?" Luffy shouted, angrily at her.

"Felt like it!" Nami told him.

"Oh, okay." Nami took the log pose from him, looking at it.

"There isn't a dial face on this thing."

"You don't need one. There's a special brand of magnetism that runs through the Grand Line islands. Completely with its own set of rules that makes it impossible to get around. By recording the levels of magnetism between two islands, you can charter routes from one island to the next. The log pose method is really the only choice. Since the magnetism here creates huge problems from conventional navigation.

Reverse Mountain is a great starting point. It produces seven levels of magnetism, but it doesn't matter which one you chose to start with. Eventually all of them will pull against each other and form one route and the island at the end of that route, Laugh Tale. The last destination in the Grand Line, it's very existence was confirmed by the King of the Pirates, the only known person to have traveled the Grand Line and its entirety." Crocus explained.

"Laugh Tale." Aya murmured.

"That's it! That must be where the One Piece is hidden!" Usopp exclaimed.

"That's the most prominent theory. But no one's been able to set foot on Laugh Tale Island since." Crocus replied. Luffy grinned.

"Don't worry, we'll know soon enough." He said. Crocus stared at him in surprise. Luffy sighed, his stomach now and content. "We'll I'm satisfied! You guys ready to go?"

"I am." Ichi replied. Everyone gaped at the two, seeing that the food was now gone.

"I TOLD YOU THAT WAS FOR ALL OF US!" Sanji shouted angrily at the two.

"He even at the bowl!" Usopp gaped.

"A log post. We have to take special care of this. It's the key to finding the greatest treasure of all time!" Nami smiled, lookng at the log pose.

"YOU GREEDY BOTTOMLESS PIGS! YOU ATE THE MEAL THAT I MADE FOR NAMI AND AYA! WELL, I HOPE YOU LEFT ROOM FOR DESERT!" Sanji kicked Luffy and Ichi. Luffy was knocked back towards Nami, smacking into the log pose, shattering it, as he fell on the ground.

"Why is everyone hitting me!?" Luffy shouted angrily.

"Yeah, what did I do!?" Ichi shouted, holding his cheek.

"You two never think about anyone but yourself!" Sanji shouted at them.

"Sanji!" Nami called out to him. Sanji grinned turning to her. Ichi cringed fearfully as he saw the angry look in her eyes. He quickly scrambled to his feet as he got up and ran over to L and Aya.

"Yes!"

"BOTH OF YOU GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I WRING YOUR NECKS!" She kicked Luffy and Sanji, sending them flying into the sea.

"So, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the log pose work better when it's not broken!?" Usopp cried out worried.

"Oh no. Our log pose is ruined!" Nami cried out.

"Maybe, you can fix it?" Ichi asked.

"How can it be fix?! It's shattered to pieces!" Nami shouted at him.

"Idiot." L replied.

"Calm yourselves. I will give you my own as a thank you for helping Laboon." Crocus spoke. The group turned to him. Laboon rose out from the water, dumping Luffy and Sanji back on the shoreline, along with Miss Wednesday and Mr. 9.

"Good, I'm not dead." Luffy replied. Sanji turned his head, seeing the blue haired woman next to him. He grinned and quickly got up, helping her up.

"Hello, dear lady! Allow me to help you to your feet!"

"Oh thank you." She cringed but took his hand, walking away.

"We need a favor." Mr. 9 spoke, looking at Sanji. Sanji frowned, looking down at him. The three returned back to the lighthouse, meeting up with the rest of the straw hats. Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday were kneeling down in front of Luffy, telling him their situation.

"Whisky Peak. Huh, that's a funny name." Luffy murmured.

"So, what is it?" Usopp asked them.

"That's where we live. We're stranded." Mr. 9 replied.

"How are you stranded? Where's your ship?" Nami questioned them.

"Well, it was destroyed." Miss Wednesday told her.

"Asking us for a ride is pushing it, Mr. 9, especially after you tried to kill the whale." Nami smirked at him.

"What's with the wardrobe? What are you supposed to be?" Usopp asked.

"I am a king!" Mr. 9 shouted. Nami frowned, grabbing his cheek.

"You're lying!"

"We can't say!" Miss Wednesday told them.

"She's right! You have to believe us! Our only motive here is getting home. We'd tell you everything that we could but it's just that..." Mr. 9 insisted.

"Mystery is our company's motto." Miss Wednesday replied.

"You see we have to be mysterious, it's sort of a rule." Mr. 9 spoke.

"We have confidence in your characters can't you give us a chance?" Miss Wednesday asked. Aya hummed in suspicion, looking at her.

"You talk a little too formal for a normal person." She spoke. Miss Wednesday twitched nervously, tensing up.

"Please, we're begging you give us some mercy!" Mr. 9 interrupted.

"Don't do it. These two fools are dishonest to the core. They can't be trusted." Crocus frowned.

"But we can't just leave them here." Aya replied.

"They did just try to kill the whale, after all." L pointed out.

"Listen, I should mention that our log pose is broken and we don't have another one so you still want to ride with us?" Nami told the two. The man and woman gaped at her in shock.

"What?! You broke it?! That was mine! Those things aren't cheap, you know!" Mr. 9 shouted angrily.

"Oh sorry, I forgot. Crocus just gave us his log pose so...!" Nami smirked, mischiviously.

"We are at your mercy!" The two bowed down to her.

"It's fine, you can ride with us." Luffy spoke. The two blinked, staring at him in shock. "You said that your home is called whiskey peak? Let's go there."

"Why?! These two are obviously some pretty shady characters! Why would we take them anywhere!?" Usopp shouted.

"It's fine. Don't sweat the small stuff. We'll be alright." Luffy assured him.

"Choose your route carefully. Once you head out from here, you'll be committed to that course." Crocus said.

"That's okay. If we don't like it, we'll try a different route next time!" Luffy grinned.

"I see." The old man smiled at him. He got up, hopping down from the rock he was sitting on, heading back to the ship. The others followed behind him along with Mr.9 and Miss Wednesday.

"Okay! It's time to get moving! Now that me and Laboon have an understanding, I can leave on a clear conscious." Luffy smiled.

"Just who on Earth do you think you are, anyway?" Miss Wednesday asked him.

"Me? Oh, I am the man who will become King of the Pirates!" Luffy told her.

Everyone hopped on board the Merry, getting ready to set sail. Nami looked down at the new log pose on her wrist that Crocus gave her. "Should be good to go. The needle should be pointing in the same direction as the map." He told her.

"It's pointing directly to Whisky Peak." Nami smiled.

"See ya, pops! Thanks again for the log post!" Luffy waved goodbye.

"Have a safe trip!" Crocus called out.

"Bye Laboon!" Aya waved to the whale.

"Get ready to fight when I get back!" Luffy told the whale. Laboon gave out a low howl in response as if saying goodbye. "Next stop, Whisky Peak! Ready, guys!? Let's set sail!"

Crocus and Laboon watched as they saw the straw hats sail away. Crocus smiled.

"I wonder. Luffy and his crew could be the very pirates that we've been waiting for. That one captain sure has a way about them. It's uncanny really. Wouldn't you agree, Roger?"

Hey there sweets!!💘 how’re you?

Can I have hcs for Ace, law and zoro with a soft fem!s/o who apologizes a lot & over stupid things ??? Ty

authors note : hi , hun ! im doing quite well , prepping myself for the day <3 and this is so cute , i’d love to write such a thing. i struggle with this type of thing 24/7, i must admit ;; so , i shall be the master of this craft! the craft of... unnecessary apologies! ah! anyway , please enjoy these to the fullest , i hope i did alright <33

Ace x Apologetic! F! Reader Headcanons

• Ace is incredibly patient. He won’t scold you or anything for being overly apologetic, nor will he find you annoying. He’ll just softly remind you that you don’t have to apologize over every little thing.

• Hes thankful to have such a kind hearted girlfriend. You’re always so sweet to everyone and that makes him happy! Especially if you can get along with Luffy, which isn’t too hard..

• Ace still can’t wrap his head around how a girl like you got sucked into all this pirate business.. But regardless of your reasons, he was more then thankful that you went down such a path. Because if you hadn’t, he wouldn’t have met your kind soul.

• He thinks you’re the cutest thing in the world! Ace likes watching you scramble for your words and then laugh at yourself after, hearing your gentle voice slip in a sorry. It’s adorable.

• Ace can get a bit surprised by you sometimes. When you randomly come up to him and kiss his cheek, hands draped over his well sculpted shoulders, he’ll just freeze in his place. You’ll be a whole fountain of, “ sorry! “ in just a second. And he’ll be right there to laugh and assure you that he’s okay, that you just surprised him.

• He isn’t as affectionate as you but he’ll try and give you attention the best he can. Wether it’s a pat on the head after a tough battle or holding your hand as you two journey through the deserts of Alabasta.

Law x Apologetic! F! Reader Headcanons

• Law is in love at first sight. It’s not surprise that Law has a fondness for cute things and you are the living embodiment of cute.

• He loves your mannerisms, they remind him of Corazon. Whenever you’re a bit too clumsy, Law can’t help but chuckle as he’s reminded of his late father figure.

• Now, with the overly apologetic behaviour, he’s rather understanding but for with his stonefaced nature, his tone can make him seem annoyed or angry. But let me assure you, Law isn’t angry at you in the slightest!

• He loves to sleep together with you. Law already shares a bed with Bepo but you have to join, it puts him in a cuteness sandwich! It’s weird how such a big and bad pirate captain was almost as soft as you, just not as open about it.

• Law is always on your side to help you if you just got out of a fight, all injured. He’ll scold you immensely as he patches you up but as soon as you slide him a glance of your teary eyes and a “ im sorry... “ , Law will have his head in his hands. Why were you so cute!?

• His crew is a handful. If you ever mention how you feel like a burden, he’s quick to dump every bit of doubt out of your head, all with a singular kiss.

Zoro x Apologetic! F! Reader

• Unlike the other two on here, he’ll get annoyed and fed up quick for your constant apology. Not out of anger, he just hates seeing you doubt yourself constantly to the point of apologizing over everything you do.

• You try and catch yourself everytime you want to apologize after Zoro shouts at you about how ‘dumb’ it is for a pirate to be like that. Yes, Zoro used the ‘we’re pirates’ cover up. He didn’t just flat out love bomb you.

• Zoro does love your sweet personality, even if you can be overly kind to those who don’t deserve it. It gives him faith in the world, hoping that there’s more people like you out there.

• He goes insane when he sees you fight. Zoro loves watching you kick the absolute life out of someone and then just shakily say, “ sorry .. “ to them. It’s too funny. And oddly attractive. Zoro loves a woman who can defend herself and you? You got that 100%.

• Zoro gets really embarrassed with romance and seeing how you can casually hug him, hold his hand or even kiss him is infuriating. Why does a shy girl like you have more guts then him?

• He loves being alone with you. Zoro may grunt in embarrassment when you say “ i love you “ to him all the time but when you two are alone, he’s all over you, repeating the endless love he has for you.
