A Big Misunderstanding

Shitty angst where you think Law leaves you for another woman. I barely write angst so I hope this is readable lol… happy ending btw

Warnings: angst w good ending, mentions of anxiety and cheating, fem reader

The island was clearly the type of island pirates would come to for parties, raids, and whatever other mischievous things that were typical for pirates. It was tropical, so clearly very warm upon arrival.

You decided to be modest with your clothing. A cute top in your favorite color, some jean shorts, your favorite pair of shoes, and whatever other accessories you thought would go with the outfit. But when you entered the bar, it became apparent that you’d dressed conservatively somehow…

Many women from other crews were present, many of which had their unique style, but one thing they all had in common was that they were dressed as though this bar was meant for other purposes… or maybe it was just the weather. Perhaps even both.

Many of your crewmates ran off to get drinks and socialize, but you were hit with a sudden wave of insecurity. But why? There was no reason to be; you knew Law was the most loyal man on the seas, that he had no interest for those type of things…

“You alright?” his deep voice rang beside your ear, and you felt his tattooed hand land on your back.

“Y-yeah,” you answered unconfidently.

“I don’t think you’re fully being honest,” Law frowned, “but… I won’t bother you here.”

You nodded, but Law didn’t seem to think you fully understood. “If you need to get back to the sub, just tell me, no questions asked.”

“Okay,” you breathed.

His hand slipped away from your back as he started to stride over to the counter, ordering drinks. When Law noticed you hadn’t followed, he looked back at you and nodded for you to come over.

You sat on the stool to his right, adjusting your shirt constantly like something was wrong with it. But in reality, you simply felt inferior to all the women around you. You weren’t normally bothered by things like that, but tonight it was an overwhelming feeling that you couldn’t make go away.

You hadn’t even noticed that Law had ordered a drink for you until it sat before you. Bringing it toward your lips, you took a few small sips and quietly thanked him.

The next few moments were silent between you and your boyfriend. But your mind was quite the opposite, as many intrusive thoughts flooded through your head. How could he not see those other girls when they’re practically surrounding us? And the ones from the street whom called out to him; he had looked at them… but never told them off. Maybe he was simply keeping an eye out for suspicious behavior? But what if-

“y/n-ya,” his hushed voice echoed within your left ear, and you could feel his warm breath from how close he was now. “Are you certain you don’t want to leave?”

“W-why,” you stuttered out, breaking away from your thoughts.

“You seem out of it,” he observed.

“No, I’m fine, actually.” You huffed, taking another sip from your drink. Great, now you sounded cold and upset all because of your stupid thoughts.

Law decided to just leave the discussion there, moving back so that he wasn’t leaning close to you. His tattooed fingers drummed against his bottle with a steady rhythm. Now he seemed annoyed…

“Captain!”

You and Law both turned to see Shachi and Penguin behind you, looking rather excited.

“What?”

“Do you mind if we go somewhere else…?” Penguin asked, Shachi snickering as he spoke.

“Why would I care?” Law deadpanned, but there was a hint of confusion in his tone.

“Well… it’s just that there’s this club…” Shachi started explaining.

Law rolled his eyes, starting to understand. “And what kind of club is this?”

“Oh, you know…” they continued snickering, “a girl’s one…”

Another eye roll from Law. “Whatever. Just don’t bring any strangers back on the sub or get yourself robbed.”

Well, he at least doesn’t sound interested…

“Thanks captain! By the way… you’re free to join us,” they suggested, wiggling their eyebrows as if you weren’t sitting right there.

Law’s eyes widened a bit, and he glanced at you before looking back at the two of them. “Why would I-”

“Just joking!” They cackled with laughter as they ran out of the bar.

Now you just felt worse. Why would they invite Law when they and the entire crew knew of your relationship with him? Did they know something you didn’t?

Why did he glance at me like that?

And just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, a girl had the audacity to approach your boyfriend when you were sitting right there. Was the tattoo you’d gotten for him somehow not noticable?!

“Hi,” she greeted him with a smile that you knew was an act. “What’s the infamous captain of the Heart Pirates doing here, in this nasty little town?”

“Are we not allowed to be here?” he sarcastically asked, not looking her in the eye.

She giggled, leaning onto the bar counter right within his line of sight. “I was just curious… didn’t take you to be the type of man to come to places like this.”

“Like what? This is a pirate’s bar, is it not?” Law sounded a bit annoyed now.

“Ah, I see. You don’t know about the place out back, then.”

She pushed herself off of the counter, giving Law’s hat a teasing flick with her finger. “If you’re curious, meet me there, captain…”

You’d stared with anger at the whole interaction, practically gasping in shock when she’d touched his hat. Especially when Law had done nothing to stop her.

Now you felt even worse, as though you were about to have a breakdown. Feeling tears well up in your eyes, you hopped off the stool and turned to find the bathroom.

“Where are you going, y/n-ya?”

“Restroom,” you stoically answered, running off before you cried in front of everyone.

After locking yourself in a stall, it was impossible to hold it all back now. You began to recall more things that just made this trip even more suspicious. Law hadn’t even said why you were stopping here, ignoring the crew’s questions about it. Then you remembered a conversation you had somewhat overheard. Law had been in his office late at night, so you were bringing him some food as he hadn’t shown up for dinner.

You couldn’t quite make out what he was saying, but you did remember the words “I’ll be there.”

When you’d opened the door, his snail phone was sitting out on his desk, and it was shutting off right then. You’d asked Law who he was talking to so late at night, but he’d brushed it off as “some business that I’ll be taking care of soon”. That was only two days ago.

You knew it was a bad idea to come up with conclusions and overthink, but you couldn’t help it. Had Law brought you all here so he could meet up with someone?

Maybe it was just a simple business deal. Right? You always over thought these things, and you knew it was best to not let your anxiety get the best of you. So you wiped your tears and fixed yourself up, heading out of the bathroom to question Law about this mission.

But that was when everything went wrong.

Law was no longer at the bar you’d both been sitting at moments before. You quickly glanced around, searching the busy room for his familiar white hat. It was impossible to miss.

And then you did spot him. Exiting the bar, glancing behind himself, following another woman.

Your heart shattered right there and then. You slapped a hand over your mouth to stop yourself from screaming in agony, your entire body quivering with what you didn’t know was anger or heartbreak. Perhaps both.

You wanted to collapse to the ground and cry, but you couldn’t, you were frozen now. And before you could think of what to do next, you felt something on your shoulder.

Turning around you found none other than Bepo, who seemed entirely oblivious to what your captain had just done.

“Hey, y/n! Captain said you were taking too long in the bathroom, and he had some deal to take care of. So he left me to watch for you!” the bear cheerfully informed you.

“Oh, did he…?” your throat went dry and you could barely get the words out. You were simply in shock.

“Yup. Hey… you don’t look so good,” Bepo tilted his head in confusion, “Captain did say you seemed off… are you sick?”

All you could do was nod, not wanting to tell the poor polar bear the truth.

“I’ll take you back to the sub then!” he offered, and again, you nodded.

–

Back aboard the Polar Tang, you waited until Bepo left before grabbing what you needed and returning to the bedroom you’d shared with Ikkaku before you and Law got serious.

Finally being alone, you allowed yourself to collapse into the small bed, screaming into your pillow that you’d taken with you. Why would Law do this? Of all the men you knew of, you never once thought he’d be the one to cheat.

But the reason why didn’t matter now. He’d already committed the act, breaking the deep bond you thought you had with him. Years of you devoting yourself, your love, to him down the drain.

That night, you cried yourself to sleep, only waking up once when Ikkaku had been shocked that someone else was in her room. She’d tried talking to you, but you could only shake your head ‘no’ before passing out again.

The next day was even worse. The entire crew knew something was wrong between you and the captain. It had been years since you’d slept separately, and you’d only made things more obvious by dodging their questions and promptly leaving the room whenever Law would walk in.

For the most part, you stayed cooped up in the room you supposed you now shared with Ikkaku again. She never protested, and even tried comforting you a few times. But truly, you felt as though you were inconsolable. The thought of even leaving the crew crossed your mind.

You simply didn’t know what to do. You were afraid to face Law, even if it was just to declare your departure and then you’d never have to see him again.

Later that evening, there was a knock at the door. You expected it to be your now-roommate, but she never came through the door. You never had to go open it for her, so it must’ve been someone else. You didn’t want to see anyone else, though.

“Y/n-ya?”

You heard Law call to you through the door. His voice was hoarse; he sounded exhausted and defeated. While you knew deep down he only sounded like this when he was truly upset to the point of crying, you didn’t want to think about that, as it would only make you feel worse.

“Y/n-ya, please come out,” he pleaded through the door.

You’d decided to ignore him. Rather, that was your plan until he was suddenly inside the bedroom, having used his devil fruit to teleport himself inside.

“Go away,” you snapped, turning away from him.

“Not until you tell me what this is all about,” he spoke, trying to sound calm.

“What do you think it’s about?! You know what you did,” you spat, turning to glare at him with hatred you’d never felt before.

“I don't know,” he sighed, defeatedly. “I left to go through with the business deal, and had Bepo watch out for you. Then next thing I know, I get back and your things are gone from our room.”

“That’s what you call it? A fucking business deal?”

“What do you mean, y/n? It was a dangerous deal for some rare charts, I don't understand-”

“Don’t lie to me! You went away with another woman, you cheating bastard!” You screamed, throwing yourself into your hands to cry into them.

Law was quiet for a moment. “y/n-ya… I would… I’d rather die than do that to you,” he spoke honestly.

From his tone, it sounded so truthful and you wanted to believe him. But you were too heartbroken.

“Then why would you do it?” You asked, voice trembling as you cried.

“You don’t understand,” he reasoned, “I didn’t. That woman was some sketchy pirate who had charts to somewhere that would be incredibly helpful for us in the long-run. That island we went to last night is an incredibly dangerous one, so I didn’t want to risk you getting caught up in a bad deal.”

“Why though? You could’ve just told me…”

“I wanted to, but you seemed upset and then you ran off to the bathroom…”

You sighed, peeking out from your fingers before lowering your hands and fully facing Law. “You fucking sacred me, Law. I was even considering leaving-”

“Don’t,” Law cut you off, pulling you into his warm embrace. “I don’t want to even think about losing you…”

“Sorry,” you mumbled, holding onto him tightly.

“I’m sorry,” he corrected you, “I didn’t think about the plan coming off as that… I’m a fucking idiot for that. I should’ve trusted that you would’ve stayed out of danger.”

But then you giggled, just barely. “Oh please, we both know I’d be following you to make sure you don’t die. I guess you thought right, then. But still.”

“Yeah… I swear I’d never betray you like that, y/n-ya. I… love you,” he whispered. “More than anything…”

You smiled into his neck, “I trust you, Law.”

“You’re coming back to our room then, right? I couldn’t sleep without you.”

“Of course I am, idiot,” you kissed him with a grin. “And I can tell…”

“Oi, watch it.”
