🌹Hungry Eyes - Luffy x Reader

[NSFW + NO MINORS]

🌹Charater featured: Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, Nami, Chopper (for now) 🌹Summary: Its crazy that's your sick buts its ok ur with luffy

The door creaks open and you whip your head to face it, eyes wide and alert.

Luffy’s head pokes around the door, his big brown eyes meeting yours. “Are you hungry?” he hisses through the darkness.

You blink at him. “It’s past midnight,” you whisper.

Luffy blinks back. “Sanji said you didn’t eat dinner.”

“Didn't want any.” Truth be told, even the thought of eating made you sick. Chopper said it might be an offshoot of the concussion you had when they brought you aboard the ship, but for the few weeks you’ve been on board you haven’t been able to keep much more than a single sandwich down.

“Chopper says you have to eat. Sanji too.”

“You’re not my captain, you know,” you say bitterly.

Luffy just looks at you. “You’re on my ship. And you’re my friend.”

You frown. You were starting to understand Luffy’s nature, the delicate balance between his selfishness and loyalty to the people he cares about.

As soon as you were taken aboard, barely conscious and only half alive, Luffy had taken a liking to you. He had a knack for that, you’d heard, for picking up people based on very limited interactions and whisking them away to be part of his crew.

You weren’t interested in the crew part, and Luffy understood that. But because he had decided to become your friend he couldn’t just drop you off at any island: he needed to take you someplace you’d be safe.

Chopper has barely let you out of the medical room, only allowing a short daily walk if the weather permits. Otherwise, you’re stuck in the small cabin, the other crew members too busy to bother with your company. You aren't a mean person by any means, but your silence around others was usually seen as arrogance. The lonely nights you’ve spent in the room have only been broken up by thoughts of this pirate captain; and his strong, thick, slender fingers in places you wouldn’t mention aloud.

“I was having a snack,” he continues, creeping into the room. The only light filters through the small window, lighting his body with cool moonshine. “I thought you might want some. Only a little, though, because I ate the rest.” He offers you a few cubes of meat on a plate. You sit up and accept it wordlessly, placing it at the end of the bed.

Something in the moonlight catches your eye, and you turn to face him before your lips part slightly in surprise. Oh my god, you think, cheeks starting to burn. He’s shirtless.

The glow of the light catches on his burn scar, crossing across his muscular chest. He folds his thick arms over it, and your gaze drops to his shorts, hanging low on his hips. You shut your eyes.

Luffy squats down in front of you. “Hey, are you okay?” he asks softly. “You look like you’re gonna pass out.”

“I just need some sleep,” you say through gritted teeth, “but I’m fine.”

“Not until you eat.”

“I’m not hungry.”

“Eat. That’s an order.”

“You’re not my captain.”

“So? I’m still your friend, and friends feed each other.”

Your mouth twists. It was hard to argue with him because of his natural bluntness. “Don’t you have something else to worry about?”

Luffy shakes his head.

“Like marines? Or Kaido?”

“Not right now.”

He sits down next to you and his forearm brushes against yours. You peek at his fingers, calloused and thick, in his lap.

“I don’t like seeing you hurt,” he mutters.

You blink at him. He's moving a little fast, and you're straining to keep up. But you suppose that's just how he is.

“When you’re hurt. I really…” He takes a deep breath. “I really don’t like it. It makes me feel bad.” He turns to face you, his eyes big and brown and full of something that borders on desperate. “Will you please eat?” He says softly, taking one of your hands in his.

You go rigid, eyes widening. The feel of his skin on yours makes your entire body tingle. His hands grip yours tightly, and you find it hard to meet his eyes.

“I…” you start. You try to unravel your hands from his, but he doesn’t let go, searching for your eyes. You finally let them meet, and it’s then when you realize that he doesn’t see you as a regular crewmate, or even a friend: Luffy wears his heart on his sleeve, and his eyes speak volumes about how he feels about you.

Little things start to click into place. He’s here, late at night, when he loves to sleep. He brought you meat even though he wouldn’t let most of his crew touch it. He peeks his head in when he thinks you’re sleeping. Chopper had mentioned, once, completely offhand, that Luffy asks about you almost daily.

What you don’t know, however, is that the entire crew has picked up on his crush on you and that you weren’t being avoided because you come across as arrogant: you were being avoided so that Luffy could have some space with you. It’s necessary, actually, because although the crew is oftentimes more than willing to get to know a new person on board, Luffy is anything but subtle: the most obvious example being when Zoro found him with his ear pressed against the crack of the door, fisting his cock in his hand, hanging onto every tinny mewl and moan of yours as you whispered his name, your fingers breaching your entrance and rapidly circling your engorged clit.

Zoro knows better than to interrupt Luffy, even when it’s this desperate of a case. He just let the rest of the crew know, in hushed whispers, that you were kind of off-limits, and that the next island would be approaching soon. Nami had sighed because she thought you were cute. Robin had sighed because she thought you seemed smart. Sanji had sighed because you’re a girl, but they all swallowed their annoyances because it’s their captain: and how can they trust him to lead them when you’re the only thing on his mind?

They noticed that this was a real crush and that he was thinking with his heart and not just with his cock. It was usually the latter, and he’d come back to the Sunny only a little before sunrise, after a full night of partying on an unknown island, exhausted. It was clear he always made the most of his time anywhere.

You try again. “I…”

Luffy takes this moment to get a little closer and your breath catches in your throat. His lips are so close to yours you can feel him breathe, and he gets closer and closer and to your horror, you realize that you’re not pulling away. That you don’t want to pull away.

The kiss isn’t what you expect—it’s not clumsy or sloppy. It’s gentle but firm and surprisingly practiced. His lips are so warm against yours, slightly chapped and a little salty. When he parts your lips with his, you let him, and his tongue isn’t hungry or invasive. It’s the best kiss you’ve ever had, and when he cups the back of your neck you gingerly touch his bicep. The muscle moves when he does, and you feel a rush of wetness down below.

It actually doesn’t really surprise you, the more you think about it. Luffy is always stopping at different islands, some more exciting than others, and people naturally flock to him. You assume that this also means women, and his high bounty and cheerful demeanor as well as his broad shoulders and muscular frame were enough to light a fire in some of the young women they came across. Besides, you thought absentmindedly, he has to get his energy from somewhere.

The kiss gets a little hungrier before it stops, and you realize that he’s left you breathless. Your hand fists the sheets involuntarily, already thinking about what you’re going to do the moment you’re alone.

“I like you,” he whispers, rubbing his nose against yours.

Your mouth snaps shut. “Why?”

Luffy shrugs. “I don’t really know. I’m just kind of…” he laces his fingers with yours, and you drop your eyes down to look. “Drawn to you, I guess.” He scratches the back of his head with his free hand, pulling away slightly. “I like girls. I know people sometimes think I don’t, but I do.”

You chuckle a little.

“Maybe it’s because I’m short,” he muses.

“You’re not that short,” you tease. “You’re at least two inches taller than me.”

A glint appears in his eyes as he peers at you. “How do you know?”

You frown. “What do you mean?”

“We’ve never been this close. How do you know I’m taller?”

You fidget uncomfortably, caught between a rock and a hard place. On your brief walks around the ship, you often glance over in Luffy’s direction; and a few times you even got close enough to see the many repairs that had been made to his treasured straw hat.

“I just…you’re a guy, right?” you say, at a complete loss for words. You can’t believe that’s the best you can come up with.

Luffy laughs then, leaning forward for another kiss. It’s more gentle this time, but his hands start to roam over your body. Nothing too explicit, just your lower back as he fingers the hem of your thin t-shirt, but even that has your cunt clenching around nothing.

Wordlessly, you break the kiss to grip the bottom of your shirt, pulling it up and off of your frame in one sure movement.

You hunch over a little, your blushed face slightly embarrassed that even you were taking things quickly in such a direction, but these weeks on the ship have left you needy for any sort of contact. Plus, he had just admitted that he likes you, and you'd be lying if you said you didn't have his wanted poster in your room back home. The thrill of finding out that he had rescued you was tempered by Chopper's strict instructions and the crew's indifference. But every time you saw him on the ship, whether it was fishing or bringing you a cup of soup, made you grip into the pillow and cry out his name as softly as you could.

He leans in to kiss you again, this time gently running his knuckles over the side of your breast. You let out a soft whine, your hand falling from his hair into his lap, directly on top of his hard length that is throbbing painfully in his shorts.

He hisses at the contact, catching your lip in his teeth and biting lightly. His hands leave your body to remove his shorts, his cock hot in your hand as you give it a few tentative strokes.

He dips his fingers into the side of your panties, and you do your best to shimmy out of them.

“You’re wet,” he whispers, his fingers softly rubbing your soaked folds. Luffy presses against you until you’re laying down on the mattress with his body keeping you there. “I like it when you’re really wet,” he mumbles.

He pulls back, sucking on his fingers with eye contact so heavy you feel pinned to the bed. Slowly, he makes his way towards you again, nipping at your jaw.

He presses his face into the crook of your neck. “I’m gonna pick you up, okay?” he breathes into your ear, and you nod. You wrap your legs around his waist, pressing his cock into his contracting abdomen as he places one hand under your bottom and the other around your waist. He stands, and you lift off the bed, his strength making you drip with arousal. Luffy’s steps stammer as he tries to keep kissing you while walking towards the wall, the cold surface making your nipples perk up as he presses you against it.

His lips leave yours and you chase his mouth with a whine, but gasp when you feel his leaking tip prod against your wet entrance.

“I really, really want to,” he gasps against your neck, pressing his face into your warm skin. “I-I’ll try to be gentle, I just really want you…”

Your hands grip his back, trying to pull his body closer to yours. A soft moan escapes your lips when he hits your clit. “I really want you, too,” you murmur.

His cock is long and stiff, and your eyes roll back just from thinking about it inside you.

Slowly, he starts to breach your entrance, hissing as the fat head is swallowed by your desperate cunt. You gasp at the pressure, squeezing your eyes shut.

“Jeez,” he mutters through grit teeth, sweat starting to glisten on his face. “You’re tight.”

You clench around his length as he continues to push inside, his hands gripping your body with bruising force. The concentration on his face is endearing, and your heart melts a little. He wants you to feel good, too, and he’s trying his hardest to keep from fucking you as hard as he can.

His cock bumps something inside you and you let out a lustful moan.

Luffy twitches inside you. “Th-that noise, make that noise again,” he groans, starting to move. He starts out gently, but it isn’t long before he’s bottoming out with each thrust. You moan louder, tears pricking at your eyes as his cock hits deeper. His thrusts become harder and rougher and more impulsive and you can tell he’s getting close. You moan again, the noise escaping from your lips involuntary despite his begging.

“I’m gonna cum,” he says through gritted teeth. “Is-is it okay if I…?”

You grip his shoulders tightly. “Please cum inside me,” you whimper.

It’s music to Luffy’s ears, and he wastes no time in pushing his cock up to the hilt inside you. You tighten around him as his orgasm starts, his hips stuttering and eyes fluttering closed.

The shots of his hot cum painting your tight pussy walls make you groan aloud, your head falling back to rest on the wall. Your thighs are burning from being held up, but nothing could distract you from his labored moans and stuttering breaths.

He rests his head next to yours as he comes down from his high, his heart rate slowing to normal. He places his hands under your thighs, still holding you up, his strength obvious and unwavering.

“Sorry…” he mumbles, still breathing hard.

You shake your head. “It’s okay,” you whisper. You have to admit you’re a little surprised, you had assumed his stamina matched the rest of him.

His cock twitches inside you, and you realize with a start that he didn’t get soft. “Let me try again,” he murmurs against your neck, walking back to the bed.

He drops you down and you giggle for the first time in weeks, earning a warm smile from him. It feels like the sun, even though it’s the middle of the night. He climbs on top of you, slotting his body between your legs, pressing a hot kiss to your lips. One of your hands pulls his head down closer, the other grips the defined muscle on his arms. He hums, then pulls away, looking down at you with hungry eyes. His gaze flits from your eyes to your lips, shifting his weight so he can run his big hand over your breast. You whine, and he gets bolder, pinching your nipple almost to the point of pain.

“Ah-“ you grunt out, body jerking. With you caged in under him he decides to chart your body with his hands, finding the spots you like to be touched the most. He's already used you for his pleasure, embarrassing as it may sound, and now it’s your turn.

He places a wet kiss under your jaw, taking note of the noises you make. He remembers listening to you from behind the door, the squelch of your wet cunt being rubbed by your own fingers, his name falling from your lips in soft pants. He continues to pepper you with kisses, running his hand down your stomach to settle in between your lips. He spreads them gently, earning a small moan from you, and seeks out your sweet little bud of pleasure. He figures that you like how strong he is, judging from how much you dripped when he picked you up. He flexes his chest and abdomen a little bit, and you hungrily run your hands over him. He smirks at you, and you know you’ve been caught. You smile sheepishly.

He presses his hand against yours, stopping you right over his heart. It thumps under your hand, and the gesture is so intimate, so mature, that you fight to urge to burst into tears.

The aching in your core is unbearable now, and Luffy’s inexperience becomes known as he clumsily rubs your clit. You assume that most women are content to be used as his own little cocksleeve, bouncing away to orgasm on his lap as he settles his face between their breasts. Or, more likely, he pins them against a bed and ruts endlessly until he spills.

You’re different, he can tell, and you’re not blinded by his notoriety.

Luffy bites his lip. He knows this isn’t his strong suit, but he’s determined nonetheless. You replace his hands with yours, rubbing practiced circles on your clit as he explores your folds. He dips a finger inside, sighing at your wetness. His fingers feel nice, but nothing compared to his fat cock, and you use your eyes to beg for it.

Your fingers stay at your clit while he presses his cock into your tight heat.

You whimper as he continues to push, stretching you open at an angle that has tears in your eyes. It's so much deeper than when he was fucking you against the wall, and when he finally bottoms out, you let out a delicious moan.

Luffy grits his teeth, his hips repeatedly pressing against yours, forcing the metal headboard to smack against the wall. "Th-that sound..."

He reaches down to feel your hand, and the closeness of it as well as Luffy's eagerness squeezes another hot moan from your mouth.

"I want to feel what you're doing," he pants into your open mouth before sealing it with a kiss. You continue to rub faster, his hand on yours adding a luscious pressure.

Your voice starts to come through in more than moans and whines, little squeaks of praise about how good his cock feels inside you. He desperately wants you to reach that high you're chasing, but your pussy is starting to clench around him and the thought of you cumming around his cock has him holding in his orgasm like his life depends on it.

"I'm close again," he gasps. "Can you cum for me? Please?"

That does it. The tight coil in your belly snaps, and you toss your head from side to side, crying out as you shake under him. "Luffy--" you shout, your voice strangled.

He continues to thrust into you, babbling praise. "I've never done it like this," he gasps, tripping over his words. "I really liked seeing you cum, and I like how wet you are. I like that you're so tight and I like the noises you make and I--" He whines your name as he cums again; his cum dripping out from between your red, swollen lips.

He looks down at you, panting, the lids of his eyes heavy.

"That was..." you start, "unexpected."

Luffy chuckles. "But good?" he asks hopefully.

You look away. "It was perfect," you whisper. "I...kinda want to tell you something."

He rolls off of you and you scoot over, barely making any room on the tiny medical bed. He opens his arms and you climb in between them, grateful for the time to rest. You lay your head on his chest as he strokes your hair tenderly. "What is it?"

You take a deep breath. "I have your wanted poster up in my room at home."

Luffy pauses, the gears turning in his head, then laughs.

You giggle. "I know, I know..."

He rests his arm on your shoulder, the other stroking your forearm. "It's cute," he says finally, "I like that."

You smile against his chest. Maybe joining a pirate crew isn't such a bad idea.

LawLu and why it works (for me)

I recently engaged in @sungd ‘s post that was asking what was the appeal of lawlu and it really got me thinking/ hyper fixating on this ship more so I wanted to voice more of my thoughts on it!

Yeah the age gap is weird because it’s like a 7 year age difference so I see why folks are put off by this ship. HOWEVER, the reason why it doesn’t bother me as much is because of their personalities.

I’m gonna focus more on Law since he is the older of the two and that seems to be where people get hung up!

This will probably be long but bear with me there is a point! 😂 And if you don’t want to read all this either that is completely fine!

Ok here we go!

Law despite how he wants to be perceived, is actually a pretty respectful and honest guy. We get glimpses of this even from Sabaody where he gives the credit of freeing Jean Bart to Luffy rather than himself, despite it being him who cuts off Jean Bart’s chains and asking him to join his crew.

This happens again when he literally jumps into an active war zone to save a rival captain who he doesn’t really know at all. And rather than boast about it to Luffy’s allies, he just quietly stays in the corner and doesn’t even accept their gratitude for saving Luffy’s life. He even says that Luffy and co don’t owe him anything because he did this on a whim. Coming from someone who is framed as one of Luffy’s rival and also depicted as being sadistic and cruel, it is weird how Law doesn’t rub it in anyone’s face that HE was the one who saved Luffy and that Luffy and the rest of them owe him.

Even meeting up with Luffy again after the time skip, rather than Law force Luffy and his crew to help him take down Doflamingo because of some perceived debt, Law asks Luffy to form an alliance to take down Kaido. If Luffy had said no I get the feeling that Law would just accept it and continue his plan on his own. He never brings up how he saved Luffy as leverage or in general and again when Luffy thanks him for it, Law brushes him off and says that Luffy doesn’t owe him anything.

Like you literally save someone’s life and they don’t owe you???

And then we have Dressrosa where we get a lot of info on Law and why he is the way he is and why he hates Doflamingo. After suffering the way he has suffered, it wouldn’t be surprising at all if he was a cruel person because the world has not been kind to him. But he was saved by someone who was goofy, and kind, and saw him for what he was, which was a hurt child.

And he willingly shares all this information with Luffy, who resembles Corazon A LOT.

For me there are two crucial points in Dressrosa that really show just how much Law respects Luffy and even the crew itself.

The first one is his speech to Doflamingo, where he tells Doflamingo that he will lose because Luffy and his crew have performed nothing but miracles since they have been at sea. Despite Law being completely brutalized by Doflamingo and despite him wanting to be the one to take down Doflamingo, his faith is completely in Luffy, going as far as to call him and his friend’s miracle workers.

To me, this implies that Law has been following Luffy’s journey for a while which isn’t so far fetched but it also implies that Law has a great respect for Luffy and his crew that has been growing with each feat they accomplish. Notice how I use the word respect because we are not at the love stage.

The second crucial moment, for me personally, is when Law refuses to leave the vicinity of the battlefield despite him losing an arm and bleeding out. I remember when I first read what he said I was so shocked because it was so honorable in a way that we have only seen by Luffy’s crew and by people like Bon Clay and Jinbei.

The fact that Law wanted to stay and watch Luffy beat Doflamingo and if he didn’t beat him then he wanted to die with him because he would see it as his fault. The fact that he states that Luffy and his crew wouldn’t be in this situation had he not asked them to is something that has always stuck with me because it’s so… like idk I can’t find the word I am looking for but it just speaks “honorable” to me and it shows just how deeply Law respects Luffy and his crew. Like it just made me like Law even more because it showed that he CARES about people and that he avoids inconveniencing people as much as he can.

And what Robin says afterwards is, to me, what makes this ship work. This is verbatim from the manga but Robin tells him “Traffy, The captains in an alliance stand on equal ground! Luffy is here of his own will. He doesn’t participate in a fight unless he wants to.” And I think. This statement applies to Luffy’s approach to life in general. Luffy is all about freedom. Nobody can chain him down or make him do anything that he doesn’t want to do. Luffy is his own person and he has such a strong personality/ will that nobody can force him into anything he doesn’t like.

So when people try to make it seem as if this ship is predatory strictly because of the age difference, I understand why they feel that way but I would politely disagree because Luffy is NOT the kind of person who will allow himself to be in that situation and Law is NOT the type of person who would put another in that situation. Especially when you take into account Law’s backstory and hatred of Doflamingo. Law would never want to be compared to nor would he want to emulate someone like that. Also while they met pre-timeskip there was literally nothing there. Like to me this ship didn’t start until Punk Hazard.

And if we really want to talk about predatory then Boa Hancock simping for a 17 year old Luffy when she was 29? Yikes!

Anyway…

For me personally, I think if we were really to pinpoint when feelings would develop between them, I would say AFTER Dressrosa. Probably not towards Zou nor while they are on Zou. Law had too much going on in his head during Punk Hazard and Dressrosato even consider Luffy in any other light other than ally. After the defeat of Doflamingo, I think it would take some time for him to sit with his feelings on EVERYTHING and once he sorted through that then he might start thinking about how he views Luffy. If I were to say when that view would start, it would probable be when Luffy was on Whole Cake Island.

Either way, after thinking more about this ship, I am starting to like it more! Sorry for this long info dump! I hope it made some sense!

I finally watched the live action Saiki K and it is literally a masterpiece.

Like I don't trust anyone who genuinely hates it bc it's literally perfect???? /nsrs

The production quality is awful. We know this. But the actors gave 110% and basically brought the characters to life. The facial expressions. The voices. Their overall mannerisms were like spot on.

Teruhashi's dramatic zoom in and over the top shocked face whenever Saiki rejected her advances was top tier. Hairo shouting so much his mouth was almost always in a 0 shape was brilliant. Kuboyasu's weird ass 'I'm gonna fucking kill this bitch istg-' face whenever anyone slightly wronged him unlocked hidden memories for me.

And don't even get me started on Kaido. I could write a whole essay on him. His cringefail ways became soooo much worse once a grown man did them in real life, but that just added to his charm. It hurts to watch ANYTHING he does. His obviously fake deep and raspy voice. His dramatic stares off into the distance whenever anyone talks to him. The fact he's always in an anime fight stance no matter what. And bro moves around the room like danger is around the corner ALL👏THE👏TIME!!!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏 But that's what I love about him!!!! They didn't sugarcoat his cringe, they fed it and worsened it.

But moving back on to production quality, despite how terrible it is, y'all do remember Saiki K is a comedy right? The poorly edited super powers and $2 wigs are honestly so Saikicore. And tbh? This is the same view I have on the English dub for the anime. Like, I think it's bad, but it WORKS.

Also, the ending is WILD. Not gonna spoil it just in case, but the first hour of the movie is just episodes from S1 merged together, then the last half an hour is like entirely made up (unless it's shown in the manga, which I haven't read-) and it caught me so off guard?? Genuinely what the fuck was I watching by that point???? (This is all said in /pos)

Anyways, that's all I have to say for now, my only criticism is that Kuboyasu should've had purple hair (ONE STREAK would've been enough for me)

Here's some screenshots I took (ik it's mostly one scene but it rlly just surprised me)

Hello!

could I request headcanons of Aren Kobayasu, Kusuo Saiki and Shun Kaido with a s/o that’s super clumsy and always hurt in some way? Like their body hurts or they have scratches almost every time they see them

If you don’t wanna do this, it’s completely fine! Just make sure to eat and stay hydrated! I hope you have a good day or night!! :3

Hii, ofc you can! Thank you for requesting!

Make sure you stay hydrated and eat all your meals too!! <3 I hope you enjoy this!

warnings: mentions of injuries

RULES !!

DO NOT COPY OR REPOST MY WORK PLEASE!!

REQUESTS: OPEN

NAVIGATION

WHO DO I WRITE FOR?

----------------------------------

They have a clumsy s/o

AREN KOBAYASU

when you were still fresh in your relationship, he thought your bruises and cuts were cause you were getting beat up by delinquents

you know that angry face he always makes? yeah that's the face he had when he saw your injuries

at first you thought he was mad at you so you confronted him

poor boy was confused

like huh? why would he be mad at you?

then you explained and he was like oh

he ends up ranting about how he's gonna beat whoever is hurting you and how they shouldn't mess with you otherwise they're messing with him

you can't help but laugh a bit, cause tbh it's so cute seeing him so protective over you :')

when you explain it's because you're clumsy he goes beet red with embarrassment

now that he knows he prolly gets mad at whatever you accidentally hurt yourself with

you knocked into the corner of a table and now you have a bruise? throws it or punches it till it smashes

now you're problem is solved

conclusion: he will have beef with anything that hurts you

KUSUO SAIKI

saw it coming

obviously

he will never admit but he always tries his best using his abilities to make sure you don't get hurt

secretly, not so secretly, uses his hand to cover the edges of tables so you don't get hurt

at this point he does it instinctively

he always carries a mini first aid kit in case you need it!!

you got a cut on your finger? don't worry, Saiki has band aids ready to go!

Low-key worries about you cause you could get seriously hurt one day

if you ever tease him for being a sweetheart he'll turn red like a tomato and deny it

probably bonks you in the head (softly) so you don't tease him again

just let him care for you in his own way! 😤

SHUN KAIDO

y'all know what's coming

he's blaming it on the Dark Reunion!

pls believe him

he's very clumsy himself

so y'all are the clumsy couple

if it's not you getting hurt, it's him

but you both like to take care of each other!

he is a firm believer that kisses on the injury cure it and you can't convince me otherwise

so expect lots of kisses!!!

even though he gets very shy most of the times

I have a scenario in my head where more often than not, you've tripped and landed on Kaidou

poor boy has passed out more than once because of this

whether its because he landed too hard or because you're on top of him will remain a mystery

all in all, he tries to take care of you as much but is probably just as much of a klutz as you are

10/10 for the effort though

#headcanons #masterlist #saiki icons #saiki k #saiki kusou no psi nan #kusuo saiki #the disastrous life of saiki k #saiki k headcanons #aren saiki k #kaido saiki k #kaido shun #saiki k imagines #anime masterlist #anime edit #anime

𝕱𝖔𝖗 𝕳𝖎𝖒. 𝕭𝖊𝖈𝖆𝖚𝖘𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝖍𝖎𝖒. +18. dark! dom!reader x sub!Eustass Kid

✦ I wanted to write a yandere reader, with low morals and willing to torture the boy she/they obsessively simp over. You voted for Kidd. I didn't want to contribute to his actual suffering but here we are 😂 ✦ tw: dark! content. reader guiltrips Kidd and makes use of his weakness for her AND Killer. Kid x Killer implied. Takes place while he is in Udon, so, he is in jail. He is wearing shakles and tied to the wall. Facesitting. Slapping. Spitting. Overstimulation. Anal fingering. Degrading language. Violence. Though initially thought to be a female reader, there isn't really much indicators about reader being specifically a woman. Maybe the part where they squeeze their breasts but there are men with tits so. ✦ wc: 2.1k

“Eustass Captain Kidd…” you purr from the darkness.

His wet red locks fall over his face. Arm up, wrist tied to the wall of a cold cell. A subtle blueish light filters like a ray of light through the bars of Udon’s cells.

He huffs. He’s been brought here; he knows nothing about what happened to his crew and most importantly to Killer. He only knows he has been betrayed by the ones that said to be his allies.

“Who- are you? I’m gonna kill you!” he hisses, like a chained beast so ready to tear the flesh of anyone once he is freed.

You laugh. Hysterically. Finally able to see him back fills you with excitement and need.

“You don’t recognise my voice no more? What happened to you?” you ask, emerging from the dark. Your sexy body, the one that Kid knows very well, flashes on his red eyes.

He gasps. But, there is too much hatred inside of him.

Wearing the beast pirates attire, showing more skin than clothes, a long cape on your shoulders, you crouch at a considerable distance. You don’t want his heavy boots to stamp their soles in your face.

“What are you- what are you doing here, you treacherous bitch!” he spits one of the many insults that will follow. The chain and shackle of kairoseki clank with the violent motions, and you are sure he is about to rip a whole piece of wall just to be freed from there.

But you aren’t scared. you are, at best, a little bit crazy for him.

“Don’t blame me for staying by Kaido’s side. You chose to defy him because you think you are enough… but, I was clever, Kidd…” you whisper, coming by to his right side. “Come on, don’t treat me badly… remember our nights”

Kid turns to look at you, his eyes pierce your soul with pure hatred. The sweat drops falling right through his temple make you tremble.

“Remember the times when I use your holes for my pleasure? Yes. That’s the only usage I could give you” he hurts you. Or he thinks he does. You don’t mind, after all it has always been a matter of pure lust… but he was so yours when coming, when searching for your body in the middle of the night before Kaido fell from the skies like an unholy blessing.

You can’t stop laughing. And it’s scary, even for Kidd. “Stop laughing, if you want me to fuck you again then, free me up” he demands, thinking that you could be beaten in your own game.

“Ah so… we are playing that game aren’t we? But, Kidd… I’m a Tobbi Roppo now! I serve Kaido-sama… however, I very much like your offer. And I would like to trade with you… You want to be freed? You want to know where Killer is?” you chime, looking at him with your head tilted to the side and your thumb playing with your lip.

The red-haired beast grunts. You name Killer and he transforms. “What do you- what do you want?! Tell me where he is!” he shouts.

You giggle, covering your mouth with your hand… “Mmmh… let me touch you and I’ll tell you~ ” you playfully tell him, coming closer to his ear. Whispering soft, inaudible words you realize his skin becomes bumpy and his wet pants so tight on his crotch.

Weakness cannot describe what he feels for you. He craves your body, in a torturing dichotomy… is this because of Killer, or, because he really wants it even though he knows you won’t free him?

Slowly, like approaching a rabid animal, the tip of your nose buries on his neck. You inhale the scent of masculine rage coming from his pores. “Delicious. As scary and violent as always ~” you purr.

Kid watches you with a raving side look. “Be thankful I’m handcuffed…” he growls, ripping a smirk and a dark aura to come from you.

Immediately after his void threat, your hand gets to his half-burnt neck. Your nails carve on his skin, and you press so hard that you can feel his trachea almost cracking.

Kid gags, widening his eyes. You have become strong, and the woman he used to subdue under his imponent frame to fuck her senseless, has shown her true power.

“What? What would you do to me if you were uncuffed? Hm? You don’t want to save your sweet friend?” you murmur, biting his earlobe after.

Kidd grimaces; for the very first time he is scared of you. And fright feeds you.

You keep laughing as you finally straddle into his lap. He can’t speak, he has gone wordless. Smiling, so terrifically, you get to his lips to lick them. Red lipstick already smeared mixes with the blood traces of the thrashing he had to endure before being thrown to this jail.

“Did the cat got your tongue?… ah, what a shame… you used to use it so well on me. Are you sure is not there? Let me see” you tell him before pressing his cheeks to open his mouth.

He seethes, but you don’t care as his hips keep searching for more pressure and they make his crotch stick to yours.

A string of saliva drips from the tip of his tongue, the roughness of his breathing makes you so aroused. To have such a strong man under you, it’s your time now. From the times he left you unable to stand up, from the times he didn’t ask to fill you up, from the times he slapped you hard while he buried mercilessly into you…

“It’s my turn now, Kidd…”

You give him a little slap, that ends up with him spitting on you. Which is, absolutely not a problem for you. “Good boy! Stick your tongue out for me, ok?”

Standing up, you grab a fistful of his red locks and stretch his head back. Hips are now over his face; the thighs he used to bite and bruise, surround his facade.

Kidd bites his lower lip, your almost drippy core feels like he is being served his last meal. And perhaps it is, as you let your body fall over his face, muzzling, suffocating him.

You move your head back and forth, giving him a taste of your lustful elixir. His tongue buries inside the very first part of your entrance and then to your clit. His grunts are, by far, the perfect companion to your whimpers.

“See, you had a tongue after all!” you giggle while aggressively press your sex against his face. You fantasise with his lips becoming blue from the lack of air. You want him to feel lightheaded, about to pass out.

And just, when you had enough, but he hasn’t, you stand up. You let go of his hair, pushing his head back. Hitting his nape against the wall he mourns, but he is more interested in what comes next that any pain his body could feel.

You take the time to smear even more the rests of lipstick and blood with your own juices all over his face. It excites you to no extent to see his stare become weaker, subdued to your acts, pleading for more.

It’s a matter of seconds before you can rip his pants off. His belly, who was already exposed, tenses. He can’t take this no more, but you can make him even more needy.

“Ah… how much I have missed your dick...” you moan, taking a closer look to the red, drippier, throbbing member that lays erect in the middle of his crotch. “Would you like me to touch it? Or maybe lick it for you?” you playfully tease him, watching the way his sex twitches at your indecent proposal.

“If you missed it, why don’t you suck it already? Huh?” he urges you to use your mouth, but that’s the beauty of the torture…

You giggle, hysterically, sadistically. You ain’t using your mouth, oh no. It’s better if you use the tip of your high heel boot. It softly hits his hardness, making him bend forward. The sound of chains resonating all around a silent night at Udon, and the subtle tears flooding Kidd’s sharp eyes fills you with joy.

“I’m so, so, so happy right now, Kidd!” you moan, taking your hands to your breasts, squeezing them. You are out of your mind, but that never bothered Kidd, why would it bother him now?

He doesn’t protest. He knows he’s earned it. Kidd suffers in silence, his cheeks become red. His dick sprouts large amounts of precum, making a puddle all around him. He is, right now, in a state of pain and pleasure. He wants it over, but he wants it to last forever… and, you haven’t even touched him yet.

But, that won’t last much longer. You want to edge him, to the point of making him dumber. The tip of your boot lubricates with Kidd’s own arousal honeys, and it begins to go up and down all throughout his shaft.

You can see how his hips buckle up just to get more and more; you enjoy his suffering expression, so much it makes you almost come from such lewd imagery.

“You are like a puppy, Kidd. You wanna hump my leg? Cutie pie!” you purr, lifting your leg just a little so the sharp heel of your boot dangerously lingers on top of his balls.

“I- I can’t- give me more” he pleads, stupidly reduced to a mere slave of sex.

“Sh sh, stay still… or do you want me to step on you? Oh no, we wouldn’t want that… right?” you pout, acting all innocent with clear darkness intentions that both scare and excite the captive captain.

Kidd swallows. He is unable to stay still, he wants relief no matter what. Even if it hurts him.

“Stand still!” you scream, after stepping a few millimetres from his flesh, right into the stone ground. The sound of your heel carving into the precum stained floor makes his breathing to stop for at least a couple of minutes. “Haven’t I told you yet, that it is me who decides what’s next? We don’t want you to get hurt, right?”

When Kidd finally starts breathing again, you kneel right next to his miserable self. “Suck my fingers, come on” you order him, pushing your index first in his mouth. As he deliciously wets your fingers, you graze his prominent cheekbone so softly and caring. A total contradiction since you are almost making him gag by how violently you bury your hand into his mouth.

Wet fingers finally reach his shaft. Kidd thinks he is getting a final dose of relief… but there is much more you wanna do…

While you pump his dick up and down, so slowly. Painfully slowly, you begin to slide your index into his rear entrance. You don’t find a lot of resistance, and you smile even wider. Boy has experience, no doubt about it.

“Aahhh ~ I see you aren’t new to this, who was it? Killer?” you laugh deadly sexily, watching him look to the side with cheeks on fire. “Now I know the real reason behind your worry… is not just your bro…” you tell him, while finally being able to fully enter his rear entrance.

Kidd grunts; a loud “Fuck!” escapes his overly bitten lips. And you can’t allow such strong word coming from him right now, so, a soft slap will do to tame him. The red-haired man can only emit intelligible sounds and moans, don’t ask for him to think straight. You are hitting his G-point. You are pumping his dick. He is lost into the last few moments to reach heaven…

But, heaven… Wano isn’t heaven. You stop, right before he could cum. Ruining his orgasm, keeping him in the precipice of lust or loss.

“WHY---?” “Because you have been a bad boy. You left me, Kidd! But… don’t panic. You wanna come, right? Then why don’t I make you cum harder than ever?” you whisper, fixing your yandere eyes into his scared and needy ones.

You unexpectedly slide a second finger inside him, hitting right the prostate. Your palm rests open wide over his gland, tracing circle motions that make his whole body to contort and his teeth to chatter.

“N- NO- I- I-“ he whines, its too much pleasure even for him to process. But you keep going, he can’t stop you. Keep crying, Kidd.

You trap his lower lip with your teeth, softly pulling, enjoying his incontrollable moans. He drools, he pants, he cums and you keep touching him. You keep stimulating him.

Kidd is going senseless. He can’t understand yet, how, his body is able to still feel pleasure. But he can’t stop you. He won’t.

Squirting. Squirming. Closing his eyes, falling asleep soon after with the sound of your soft giggle does nothing but to sooth his stressed-out body.

“Sleep well, Kidd… I’ll be back tomorrow… freeing Killer will be more expensive than just a session”.

Early morning One Piece binge because I wanna see Yamato dammit! Rambling liveblog thoughts contained in ‘Read More’ like last time

Episode 990 -

THERE HE IS! GO DOGBOY GO!

GJKLSDFJ Luffy just standing there as Ulti yells at him like “.....Huh?” even though he’s not T-posing he has such confused t-posing energy

Luffy, regardless of situation, regardless of who asks, will always answer “Who (the hell) are you?” with “I’m Luffy. I’m going to be pirate king” Love that about him. Yes you are babe, you tell ‘em!!!

Him seeing Ulti come at him with a headbutt and he’s just like “BET.” and meets her headbutt with his own haki-d forehead. Reasonable person would’ve moved, or knock her away but of course not Luffy.

“THAT HURT!!!” Yeah I bet it fucking did, stupid! Luffy what happened to not making risky moves to save your energy for Kaido lmaoo

I love Yamato already oh my god what an entrance. What a first impression to make on Luffy. Striking Ulti with the same attack his father used and then immediately turning around going from intimidating AF to fanboying over Luffy in 2 seconds. “YOU’RE MUGIWARA NO LUFFY, AREN’T YOU?” Luffy extremely confused that his instinctive response of “Yes, it is.” kicks in as he just stares, trying to process- OHP!! HE’S BEEN SNATCHED! JUST GRABS LUFFY AND RUNS! Yamato Ily oh my god

Luffy just letting himself be carried as he continues to try to piece together what the fuck is happening lmaooo

Episode 991-

“It’s like an all you can assassinate buffet!” Robin oh my god. YESSS! KILL!!!

Jinbe with a big smile on his face “You scare me.” JGSKLDFJGG YEAH ME TOO DUDE.

Luffy I get it but oh my god stop wasting energy and just listen to what he has to say!

Yamato recognizing Red Hawk is made to resemble Ace’s powers ;;;n;;;

Episode 992 -

gjklfdg them arguing over how long Yamato has to speak before Luffy runs off to fight Kaido. Children.

Bless Robin and Jinbe being the only ones with restraint and actually keeping up the façade in face of the beast pirates, even while they’re getting ready to execute Momo.

HEART PIRATES SCREEN TIME AGAIN!!! Law is such a good captain. The way his confidence is reflected by his crew. His steadying hand on Hakugan helming the ship, leaning in close as he guides him. Am I going to gush about every gesture, every action he makes with his crew? Absolutely. Yes.

The blue eye effect as he activates room? STUNNING. I will never tire of Law using his abilities. It’s so fucking cool.

YESSSSS MARCO GANG ARRIVES!!! REUNION TIME ;;;;v;;;;; Oh my god this scene is beautiful I’m going to sob. The SNOW, Oda!? Bless. Thank you for giving the siblings the fucking best setting for their reunion scene. The Red Scabbards deserve the world. Also Marco is so good. I love one phoenix who hasn’t loss his smile after all that he’s been through. He’s such a sweetheart.

gjskdfg thank you for allowing Yamato 5 minutes instead of 1 minute. Truly you are the pinnacle of patience, Luffy.

Episode 993 -

Luffy looking down so his hat covers his face when Yamato says Ace spoke of him a lot - I’M GONNA SOB! HIS EXPRESSION TIGHTENING AS HE TRIES NOT TO CRY NOOOOOOO OKAY I AM SOBBING NOW.

Oh?! Law’s not going to join the samurai to take down Kaido? Huh! Okay! I wonder if he’s just going to give them their chance to take him down first since this is for their revenge. Law knows about revenge. He is not one against getting vengeance in the least bit. I could believe he wants to let them have the first chance at killing him. This is important to them. He’s there for support if they need it and to keep the plan going.... as smooth as it can gjkslfgf

Oof, Izou didn’t know till now that Kanjuro betrayed them ;;; Him still complimenting Kanjuro even in the face of betrayal, saying how skilled his drawings are. But he knows that while he was ‘on their side’ his drawings were awful. He’s got to be realizing Kanjuro’s creation could have been LEAGUES better than what he was giving them. That he was faking his poor ability to draw in using his powers. The subtlety in Izou’s “What a great actor” comment/compliment. He is angry but still can’t completely shrug off that bond they had. That he thought they had. My god I love the red scabbards so much.

God I’m so proud of Momo ;;; He really is trying to fight back. Kanjuro fucking snapping when Momo draws blood in striking at him with the knife. A member of the Kozuki family drawing his blood that sends Kanjuro into a brief craze. God this is so good.

Awww nooooo Kiku tearing up and wanting Kanjuro to say it to her face that all that time together, the bond they built as a family, that it really was all a lie before she attacks him. God Kanjuro’s betrayal has hurt them so deeply. They loved Kanjuro. They all mean so much to each other. Kiku darling, sweetheart, I’m so sorry. But also Kanjuro saying he IS full of emotions again. God, I wonder if he really does feel that love for them. He feels that bond. But he’s so detached from his emotions that to him it is just that person is his role. That person is a performance. But that person is also real. Kanjuro says he sees their tears as compliments of his acting, but I wonder if deep down, beyond his own awareness, he wants them to mourn him.

OH SHIT! Kiku those were some of the coolest fucking lines ever oh my god. GO OFF, BABE!

My god, MORE EXPLODING CUFFS?! If I had a dollar for every father that put exploding handcuffs on his son to keep him prisoner and keep him in line I’d have two dollars which isn’t much but weird that it’s happened twice. I want Sanji and Yamato to interact now. I want them to bond over having the absolute worst fathers alive.

Yamato: “Because what kind of parent would blow up their own son?” Luffy like ‘This again? Oh HELL no. Okay hand them over, I’m taking these off right now immediately.’

#FryTalks #One Piece #Wano #Taking a break for Breakfast and then I need to get some work done but then my god I want to jump back in

One Piece - Predicting Bounty Increases Post-Wano

So, with Chapter 1049 potentially being the end of the climactic battle (or maybe not) it's safe to say that the Straw Hats and their allies have done a lot in Wano, certainly enough to warrant new bounties. So in this post I'm gonna predict what several characters' new bounties will be after Wano, including all of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Spoilers for all Wano up to Chapter 1049, I will be referencing these chapters in my reasoning, you have been warned

It is worth noting that this is how I think the World Government will respond, it is not an estimation of what I think their efforts are. In addition I will not be doing 'new' bounties: so Yamato - who the world doesn't know about since they've been in Wano all their life - Momo, and Carrot - who really should've gotten a bounty at Whole Cake Island for taking out a portion of Big Mom's Fleet - will not be included. I will also not be including bounties of characters who could potentially be dead, so no Drake or Izo either (Marco won't either because as an ex-Yonko commander his contribution was expected of his stature).

Non-Straw Hat Bounties

We'll start with the Non-Straw Hats, whose actions will have contributed to the Raid's outcome or acquired information that the WG would deem dangerous.

'Roar of the Sea' Scratchmen Apoo: 350 million -> 400 million Apoo sucks, but the World Government would indeed want to silence him on his intel about CP0's presence in Wano, and with him being an effective spy for Kaido, his bounty is due to increase to make sure he doesn't rap another day.

'Massacre Soldier' Killer: 200 million -> 450 million It may seem like a hefty increase, but Killer's efforts in defeating Hawkins - who had a higher bounty than him - and facing off with Kaido and Big Mom will give him a huge bolster, he's earned it as well. Personally I'd want to put him higher, but seeing as Sanji's bounty only went up to 330 from being revealed a Vinsmoke and leaving Yonko territory alive I do have to temper expectations.

Eustass 'Captain' Kid: 470 million -> 1.5 billion 'Surgeon of Death' Trafalgar D. Water Law: 500 million -> 1.5 billion I might be a little crazy here, but I feel like since both Law and Kid had to combine to defeat Big Mom, they will be given the same bounty amount. Defeating a Yonko is no easy feat either, if Luffy got 1.5 billion from beating 2 Yonko Commanders and leaving Yonko territory alive, I think Law and Kid would be worth just as much for fighting 2 Yonko at once and defeating one of them. It'll bruise both their egos though to be the same, as both will claim to have carried most of the fight, but it will bolster both captains' notoriety.

Other than that I don't think we'll learn of any significant bounty increases. Law and Kid's remaining crew will probably get increases by virtue of their Captains' increase but we won't see it. Caribou might get a bounty increase but it depends on how much his involvement is painted, he wasn't in Onigashima so the WG probably didn't know he was there.

Straw Hat Bounties

Okay...now we get to the meat of it. This is the difficult part at least. I'm gonna go in order of lowest current bounty to highest.

'Cotton Candy Lover' Chopper: 100 -> 500 It hurts me that out of the two ways it could go, I'll have to continue with the gag one. While Drake did view Chopper successfully overcome Queen's Ice Oni and transform into Monster Point, there's the possibility that he's dead or even exiled from the Navy, meaning his intel won't reach the WG. What could reach the WG is Chopper's new tiny 'Baby Gramps' form for a new picture (which could be a new title for him but knowing the WG they'll probably still see him as a 'pet' than a sentient being). He'll only get a small increase by virtue of the crew's increase. But the moment he gets seen transforming his bounty's gonna skyrocket...

'Cat Burglar' Nami: 66 million -> 130 million Nami's bounty was a tough one, because even though she defeated a 400 mil Ulti and stole a Yonko's Homie, the WG didn't see much of it, plus Ulti was very weakened. I'd like Nami to get a new title, since she's not as deft-handed as she was in the past, I've often thought she could be called 'Weather Witch' since Nami's character leans more to her climate-control rather than her pickpocketing. As a result I think her bounty will be doubled and rounded up a bit.

'Soul King' Brook: 83 million -> 142 million Sadly, Brook hasn't done much solo contribution to this raid since his and Franky's entrance. He's helped Robin evade CP0 which means he'll get an increase from being perturbed and probably looking a bit more into him, but it won't be as big multiplication-wise. Despite this I think he'd have more than Nami's given his combat skills, so I went for 142 million - 42 being an unlucky number in Japanese because it sounds like 'to die', ah, but he's already dead.

'Cyborg' Franky: 94 million -> 200 million Sasaki may also have a 400+ mil bounty, and Franky was also seen wiping out a Number and knocking Big Mom over, but I feel that the WG will still undermine Franky's threat level given how they also have an army of powerful cyborgs. Franky will get enough dues to match Usopp's Dressrosa bounty for his contributions, but it'd still be an undervaluation.

'Devil Child' Nico Robin: 130 million -> 150 million The World Government intentionally do Robin a disservice in bounty because if her bounty is too high it'd be harder to get people to come after her. Sadly this is my reasoning here, Robin deserves a massive bounty having beaten 470m Black Maria and being a Revolutionary, but CP0's only interaction with her resulted in her just running away, so she'd have one of the smaller increases. I picked 150 because that's the amount of Chrysanthemum (which are the petals used during her Devil Fruit powers) patterns in the symbol for the Emperor of Japan. I do at least hope they get rid of the 'child' bit of her title though, 'Devil Woman' or 'Demonio' would suit better.

'God' Usopp: 200 million -> 250 million Like Brook and Nami, Usopp's contribution would be deemed minor by extension of the WG, only having spotted him running most of the time. He'd get a small increase of 250 million, which is significant enough to overcome the combined bounties of Dorry and Broggy's 100 mil a piece, just in time for the Elbaf arc.

'Pirate Hunter' Zoro: 320 million -> 1 billion I did toil with this, because part of me wanted to make him match Luffy's current bounty, but I think he wouldn't have the same as Kid and Law's. So I stuck with a nice and clean 1 billion, one that he deserves from defeating King - who has the highest Yonko Commander bounty so far - and scarring Kaido. Following this, I do expect that his title will change to his desired 'King of Hell' title. Being worth a billion will be something Zoro would relish, except for one caveat...

'Black Leg' Sanji: 330 million -> 1 billion They will both hate it, but we will love it. Putting Sanji and Zoro level in bounty is probably the bounty increase I'm most certain of even if it's not 1 billion. Having defeated Queen who is also +1 billion, Sanji's antics pre-raid as O-Soba Mask may play into his bounty, especially if Drake does live to give his intel. Because of this, Sanji may end up with a new but unwanted title of 'Stealth Black', even though he has parted with the Raid Suit. His body modifications however still remain, so although he isn't Stealth Black, he won't be shaking off the Vinsmoke name for a while.

'Knight of the Sea' Jinbe: 438 million -> 523 million Our latest Straw Hat will get a bounty increase from having joined the crew, his victory over Who's Who will also make the WG worry rightfully that the cat man mentioned what led to his CP9 dismissal and thus the importance of the 'Gomu Gomu no Mi', for this reason he'll have a similar level of bounty, albeit lesser because of generic Fishman racism and because the WG aren't as threatened by him. This'll of course put the Monster Trio in a league of their own, but I chose 523 because that's the chapter his silhouette first appeared in.

'Straw Hat' Luffy: 1.5 billion -> 2 billion If Luffy does defeat Kaido, one could go crazy and expect him to reach Roger and Whitebeard level bounties, however Blackbeard sits on only a 2.24 billion bounty despite being a yonko for 2 years with WB's Devil Fruit and most of his territories. As a result, I've put Luffy in more 'Yonko region' because of how afraid they will be now that he's awakened. Akainu will hate it, but the WG will act to hope that as a Yonko tier they can pull up an army against him, or at the least turn the other Yonko on him, seeing as 'letting it play out' has failed tremendously. Being a proper Fifth Yonko (which will be a secondary title to him) will necessitate the bounty, but like Blackbeard longevity will only cause it to rise to BM and Kaido level.

So there you have it, those are my predictions at least. It may be subject to change depending on how the rest of the arc unfolds of course, but at this very moment this is how I can see it going.

𝕂𝕀𝕃𝕃𝔼ℝ 𝕎𝔼𝔼𝕂 - 𝔽𝕀ℕ𝔸𝕃 𝔻𝔸𝕐

Geez, after almost a month I could come here and post the final day of this amazing event! As I said, it is the 2/2 of DAY 6, though I don´t think you neeeeeed to read part one to understand the second part. (I´d appredicate if you did, tho)

Without further ado, I leave you guys with I´ll Catch You If You Fall Part 2 (3.8k)

A few days had passed since your cold encounter in Ringo. You stood feet deep in the snow for some time after the man left. Yes, the man. You determined, after calming down, that that was not the time for hasty conclusions.

There was a chance that everything was nothing but a misunderstanding. You were exhausted, hungry, worried, and angry. You had just escaped prison a few days before and couldn´t fancy yourself proper time to rest.

Maybe that was not Killer. Of course, not. I mean... right?

After dragging your body out of the snowing mountains, you ended up in a different place. It was, overall, warmer. Trees with crunchy red leaves and ruins from old houses set a completely different scene. The breeze carried the smell of the ocean, and the view was gentler to your eyes.

Not long after you arrived, you noticed how the place was quite populated. It made things difficult to walk around freely while the sun was still up, but you managed to keep in the shadows.

The nights fell down colder, and while people rushed inside their holes, you embraced it as a friend, exploring and collecting information that could be useful. Sleep remained for the first hours of the day.

In the middle of ruins and destruction, you found a cabin hidden in the woods that served you as a home. In fact, you found much more than a cabin. In one of your late-night hunts, you crossed paths with a couple of subordinates from Kaido in what seemed to be a port.

For your luck, they weren´t the half-animal ones. You were not confident that you could win a fight considering your state. Still, the big smiles and exaggerated laughs disconcerted you, not enough to make you lose, though. You were past the point of being fed up with that situation, and it was time to get some answers.

Taking the men back to the hidden cabin seemed like an easy task if not for the excruciating laughs following you like curses.

They are all mocking you.

¨Don´t worry, I´m gonna wipe the smile off of your faces.¨ you muttered under the moonlight.

You sit on the floor with your legs crossed, waiting patiently for the men to wake up. The night was long, and you would make sure to endure it. While you waited, more memories flooded your brain, feeding your burning rage. How could anyone dare ruin and take your family?

The seas are full of fools, after all.

¨Loose lips sink ships.¨ you said at the sign of one of them regaining consciousness. He fought the restrains and mumbled, lips sealed shut by a piece of rag. ¨I need you to understand right now that the end of your crew begins with you.¨

Through the broken window of the shabby cabin, your eyes did not move from the majestic full moon, bathing you in kind forgiveness for the atrocities you were about to make. In the depths of the forest and the immensity of the trees, the moon found its way to you.

¨I need information, and you will hand them to me in a silver tray. And then I´ll kill you both.¨you continued ¨You try to scream, I´ll hurt you. More and more and more. I wish I could kill you by the blade of my cursed sword, but, unfortunately, you took it away too.¨

The pleadings of mercy, every time they swore not to know where your friends were, never reached your ears. A graceful sway of the stolen katana cut sharply every time a question was not answered right away.

By the end of the night and the rising of the sun, you dropped both bodies in the ocean, leaving a few pieces of clean clothes by the port shore. You discovered the ugly truth, the reason why they smiled through the pain of torture.

¨One fell in the water. The other tried to help.¨ you muttered.

The vivre card burning in your pocket hadn´t been touched since you left Ringo, afraid it might have followed the manslayer. There was no point in doing it now, so you bowed in respect for whoever´s shrine that was and marched west to Udon, where you knew you would find Kid.

You found out that Victoria Punk was kept right there in Hakumai, in a port called Mogura, the only legal entrance to Wano Country. They explained how one does get access to it, and you rapidly developed a plan to break into the port.

In order to do that, you needed to get your captain back. And the loose lips confirmed that he was taken to Udon prison, southeast of the country.

That night, more details about the Beast Pirates, the country, and its shady businesses were spilled along with blood. You did not doubt a replay of what occurred in your hideout to happen again. Only this time, the tables had turned, and you were not alone.

Apparently, more members of the Worst Generation, non-allied with Kaido, were causing havoc around the island. And you know what they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Well, Kid wouldn´t say ¨friend¨, exactly.

The seeking for information held you busy enough to keep Killer out of your mind, but under the trees that slowly disappeared from sight as you approached Udon, he came back like a hurricane. It ripped roofs and knocked down nature.

You remembered as children how you were the one to patch him up whenever he got himself in trouble for Eustass. Or how he comes to you instead of the doctor to stitch some gash. If it all comes down to the worst, will you be able to build him back up this time?

¨Don´t assume other people´s feelings, Y/N.¨ you scolded yourself.

The forest was far behind when you felt a strong presence ahead. It was furious and thirsty for blood. You wondered if it was the atmosphere of Udon, a bridge away from you.

With no time to withdraw and hide, you pulled the sword from your hip and stuck your feet to the ground. However, as the conquering presence got closer, your observation haki seemed to calm down. It was known.

¨No way...¨ you whispered, a single drop of sweat rolling down your temple.

A huge smile appeared on your lips when you felt something invisible pulling your sword, something quite magnetic. The heavy steps on the wooden bridge ceased once the redhead caught sight of you. Eustass had his infamous smile on his face before greeting you with a vile ¨Punk¨.

That was how long it lasted, the smile on his face.

A few seconds later, on silent steps and loud chuckle, Killer appeared. The bandage around his chin was gone, revealing the goatee, and his kimono was stained with blood.

His blood.

¨Don´t get sentimental on me now, punk.¨ Kid, while approaching you, said when your eyes filled with tears.

¨I am just glad you two are alive.¨ you replied kindly, pressing the fabric of your clothes on your eyes ¨Come, I have a place for us to stay.¨

Though no one said anything, both men were taken aback by your crude honesty. Usually, you would have some snarky remark to rebuttal.

The rest of the walk back to the cabin was silent as you tried to avoid getting caught by Kaido´s subordinates. There were not that many of them, and by this time, they were probably busy investigating what happened to their crewmates.

Your chest hurt like you couldn´t breathe. Maybe it was not the proper time to confront your feeling about Killer, and the last thing you needed was to make things weird between you guys.

But... I swore...

The men devoured the provisions you stole from the guards and passed out on the tatami. You seized the opportunity to nurse them since your restless brain wouldn´t let you sleep anyway.

You freed Killer from all the bandages and attended to his wounds with extra care. His chest rose and fell smoothly, as it was the first time in a long time he slept in such peace.

Your inside ached at the sight of him. It came from a place you could not pinpoint. All you knew was that it felt like someone was squeezing your heart out. And it hurt like motherfucker.

It has been a while since you saw him sleep, actually. Ever since the three of you became young adults, sleepovers in each other´s cabins were no longer a thing.

Automatically, your hand slide across the tatami, slowly aiming for his. It glitched every time you were close to touching him, afraid he might wake up, so you let your hand hover above his, just enough to feel his warmth.

Biting your lips and puffing your cheeks, you let hot and silent tears shed, breathing slowly so no one could hear you sniff.

¨Do you have any idea?¨ you jumped at Kid´s voice.

You tried to stop crying, but it was far too late, so you turned your head back to Killer and continued letting the tears soak the tatami.

¨Let´s go for a walk.¨ the redhead said, sitting up.

¨You should rest.¨

¨We´re going.¨ he said with purpose, letting you know that though it was a friendly invitation, it was also an order.

You walked far enough so Killer wouldn´t hear you, in case he woke up, but not too far for you to lose sight of the cabin. The conversation went on for a few hours, ending only after every little information had been discussed.

You let him know everything about the Smiles, the situation of the rest of the crew, and Victoria Punk. He told you about the Strawhat boy being in Udon and that he had escaped once but returned after finding Killer.

¨He didn´t talk much since. All I got is that he was working for Orochi.¨ he said.

¨People call him Kamazou, the manslayer, in the Flower Capital.¨ you showed him the poster you stole while escaping the capital.

You told Kid about your brief encounter in Ringo, and, later, you explained your strategy to retrieve Victoria Punk. He said you would start moving as soon as Killer had heard your plan and approved it. There were a few faulty-looking steps that could use some fixing.

With that, you returned to the cabin, both of you falling asleep the moment you hit the floor.

You woke up at the sound of Eustass shuffling around, and though there was no direct sun coming in, you could see the brightness from the window. Kid seemed like he was preparing to leave and get some food.

The sound of birds chirping and the trees rustling outside made you want to close your eyes and go back to sleep. You stretched your body and rubbed your face, looking around the place. Kid worked on his boots while Killer was still out cold.

You told him to keep his head down and powder dry during his walk for provisions, and he replied with a grumpy ¨fuck you¨. You laughed, not helping but to feel a little nostalgic.

It felt like you were kids again, sharing the same room and shouting profanities at each other first thing in the morning.

We didn´t change, after all.

Or did we?

You asked yourself when you sat up, looking at the blonde. Killer slept the same way you left him the previous night, though his bandages were slightly stained. Luckily, you had dressings for another change.

You crawled closer to him, taking a good look at his face hoping that he didn´t show any signs of fever caused by infections. His skin was oily like he had sweated during the night, but nothing over the moon.

Pulling the little bucket with clean water closer, you grabbed a piece of rag and used it to clean his face. You thought he could feel better once we woke up. But before getting to him, you decided to attend to your morning necessities.

So you made your way out to the woods, not too far from the cabin, and found a secured place to pee. In the first times, you could not help but complain and think how stupid it was to have to pee in bushes, but at this point, it didn´t bother you anymore.

Eustass returned not too long after you did, which was impressive, considering the amount of food he had found. He said that soon someone would find suspicious that their provisions were vanishing, so you had to move quickly.

After preparing something to eat, Kid woke Killer up, and you started to tell your plan. The tension inside the small cabin was heavy. No one knew for sure if you should approach the elephant in the room. Regardless, you kept on going with the plan.

You pointed out the breaches you could not fill, and Kid added his coins, proposing ways to fix them. Killer remained silent the whole time. He sat with his legs crossed and hand messing with the goatee. His eyes were on the floor, where you put rocks and leaves to help visualize the plan, and on his lips rested the aftermath of his sacrifice.

¨What do you think?¨ Kid asked, both of you turning to the blonde.

A short laugh came out before he spoke.

¨Sounds good.¨

You and Kid quickly glanced at each other, slightly confused. The plan, obviously, did not sound good.

¨No, it doesn´t.¨ you said firmly ¨Even if we go down the port to avoid the sea, we could back onto someone. We would be outnumbered and cornered.¨

He hummed, still looking at the pebbles between you ¨What do you suggest then?¨

You were taken aback by his response, although you already expected it. The plan you presented to them was flawed and would only lead you back to your cells. But you did it so you could understand how deep the scar left in Killer´s ego was.

¨I-I don´t know. That´s why I´m asking you guys.¨

You had said it before, under the mask, Killer was as transparent as the purest diamond on earth, and the smile was just another mask. You could easily see through his piercing blue eyes, nervously analyzing the pebbles and leaves.

¨I have nothing to add right now.¨ he said, followed by another laugh.

You denied with a hum, catching their attention.

¨I know you too well. You think we should get the guys first. Then we move on with Kid´s plan.¨ you said, observing his reaction. It was the first time he looked at you in the eyes during that meeting.

There was a brief pause before he spoke.

¨There are only a few places they could be, fa fa fa. I don´t think all of us were taken to Orochi´s castle. They should be at Rasetsu Town, that´s where they keep those imprisoned for crimes against the shogun and Kaidou.¨ Killer said, moving the leaves to create a map of the Flower capital.

¨It´s settled then.¨ Kid said, standing up ¨Y/N. Fix Killer´s bandages, and we´ll get going. I´ll be right back.¨ With that, he left the cabin.

What a rush. Maybe he needs to poop.

You pushed all the pebbles to the side and stood up, reaching the first-aid supplies you stole.

¨Leave it, I can take care of this.¨ Killer said when you approached him.

¨Don´t be stupid. It´ll be just a minute.¨

His body remained to face somewhere else.

¨Y/N- Fa fa fa.¨ his voice came out strangled and pained.

Something deep in your soul burned to hear him talk. No, not the romantic burn, the one setting your heart ablaze and making your guts whirl. It was corrosive and hurtful, like silver daggers soaked in poison.

You still could not figure out where to stand or what to feel. On one side of the coin, you heard nothing wrong in Killer´s laugh. It was quite adorable. On the other, how could you be ok with something he tried to hide his entire life? How could you be fine when he was not?

Even though his face had been set free from the bandages and his hair fell naturally over his features, you could see the strain on his neck trying to stop the laugh from leaving his mouth.

You feared you wouldn´t be able to deal with his bright smile telling a different story from his exhausted eyes.

If I could trade places with you, I would do it in a heartbeat.

¨I promise I´ll be gentle.¨ you said, getting closer to Killer.

The upper layers of his kimono were undone, leaving him almost bare-chested if not for the bandages you put the night before.

¨I can do it. Fa fa fa.¨ he insisted.

¨You can´t. It´s on your chest, and we don´t have a mirror.¨

His body tensed up, letting you know he was very close to losing his cool. Honestly, you did not want to be there upsetting him even more, but you couldn´t risk him getting an infection. You were not allowed to break.

You could not allow yourself to respect his privacy this time. Even if he wanted, something in the depths of your core told you not to. He shouldn´t be alone.

Many things crossed your mind at that moment, and you realized how you never recalled telling him no. When he decided to cover his face and hide inside the mask, you supported his choice if it made him more comfortable. When he overworked himself in training sessions, you would leave him be. Even when your gut begged you to speak up against the decision to let Apoo be a part of the alliance, you couldn´t go against Killer.

The respect and admiration you felt towards him left you blinded. Spineless. Pathetic.

You reached for his arm one more time, knowing very well it was the movement that would detonate the bomb.

¨Y/N!¨ he laughed, eyes enraged like Kamazou´s ¨Leave me alone. I- don´t want you to take care of me! Fa fa fa.¨ he said firmly and rudely.

Chills of anger ran through your body, and tears built up in your eyes. Deep down, you thanked his rudeness towards you. After all, if he didn´t have to watch his tone, so didn´t you.

¨NO!¨ you screamed, not noticing the slightest flinch of surprise. ¨You can´t be this selfish right now.¨

At this point, tears ran free down your cheeks.

¨Fa fa fa, you are the one- fa fa.¨ he struggled to speak with the forced laughs coming out.

¨Shut up!¨ your chest went up and down heavily ¨You c-can´t tell me to leave now. Not after all this time, Killer.¨you paused, thinking.

You thought about your lives and how you knew every tiny aspect of them. Ever since you were snotty kids, you were always together.

¨I... I was there. When no one but Kid was there, I was there!¨ your hand clutched your chest, not caring about your fingernails scratching your skin.

¨Y/N...¨

¨No!¨ you cut him in between hiccups ¨We- we already got beaten up for stealing food together. Whenever you got sick, I´d steal medications for you and wipe the sweat off your forehead. I... I patched you up after you got beaten by your first love...¨ the last one made you cry harder. You could feel the same pain even after all those years.

Your head propped forward, tears falling on the tatami as you failed to recompose yourself. The desperate cries vibrated to come out of the knot in your throat, like a baby that had just left their mother´s womb. Your shaky hands tried to cover up the contorted face, not really minding the tears that escaped and ran down your fingers.

¨I can´t lose you! You can´t tell me to leave you alone!¨ you shouted.

The sound of his kimono against the tatami reached your ears a few seconds before his hand caught yours. Slowly, Killer put the other hand on the back of your head, guiding you to rest on his shoulder.

¨Why...¨ was all that he could say.

There were many feelings invading his heart. Feelings that his brain did not know how to decipher into words.

There is something I need to ask, but I don´t know what it is.

¨Why...¨ he repeated before a short laugh.

¨Because!¨ you squeezed his hand.

¨Because what?¨

¨Because! Do I a reason not to want to lose the person I love?¨

Your words struck him like a lightning bolt, and not even laughs could come out. Instead, he saw passing before his piercing blue eyes, all the moments he spent admiring you from behind the mask.

The beautiful smiles that made the sun shine brighter and the concerned face you let escape when no one was paying attention. Well, no one but him. Killer always looked out for you.

¨You can´t... love me. Not before and... certainly not now, fa fa fa.¨

¨Stop a-¨

¨Assuming other people´s feelings?¨ he completed your sentence ¨You say this since we were kids.¨

¨Apparently it wasn´t enough.¨ you sniffed.

The blonde turned his face to the side when you raised your head off of his shoulder. His long locks fell on his face, covering part of what he wanted to hide.

¨Look at me.¨ you asked softly ¨Please.¨

And so he did.

¨You were the one to jump whenever Kid fell in the water. Now you can´t. But it doesn´t make you any less of a second in command, doesn´t make you any less respectable.¨ you said, putting in words the frustration bottled up in his chest. You knew him too well ¨Focus on keeping both of your asses on deck. But it´s ok if you don´t, cause I´ll catch you if you fall.¨

After uncountable summers, you could finally take a good look into his eyes. Your lips parted as you got lost in the deep blue, trying to engrave in your memory every different shade of it.

You sailed for what felt like hours in the immensity of his gaze, finally understanding when the poets said that the eyes are the window to the soul.

And so did he.

As you stared into his core, not once did you pay attention to the smile Killer hated so much. And right there, he understood.

¨Nothing has changed.¨ you said, closing your eyes and bringing your forehead towards his, noses touching. ¨We didn´t change.¨

Killer couldn´t hold back the tears as he pulled you closer to his chest, not caring about the wounds. After all, he, too, had nourished the purest of love for you. Maybe it took a little longer for him to notice, but once he did, nothing ever was the same.

All those years, he wished he had the guts to tell you how he truly felt, pulling you closer and warming up his body when winter came and stripping off your clothes when making love to you.

¨I love you.¨ you started ¨Not like... sibling love. I love you like... love, love.¨ you explained, just in case it wasn´t clear.

¨I love you too, Y/N. Like love, love.¨

Uncharted Waters 46: Who Am I Without My Armor, Standing In My Father's Shoes?

AO3 || KoFi

Between Cobra’s death and her parents’ disappearance, Luffy had taken both situations as a declaration of war against the crew. The problem was, with two different factions declaring said war, it meant Luffy needed to choose which one they went after first, and Reika hated that they were being put in that position.

But in the end, it was decided that they would search for Genji and Miaka, after being assured that Alabasta was in safe hands thanks to the I.D.R.A, and the Straw Hat flag that was waving on the palace’s flag pole.

Ace’s ship was sailing alongside theirs, with Marco and Yamato on board. Law, to her surprise, had also agreed, but was staying in his own sub, concealed from any enemy ships.

Drake was tailing them too, and it had taken quite a bit of convincing to believe he was an ally, not an enemy, despite everything Drake had done for the alliance in the war against Kaido.

They’d informed the Grand Fleet as well. Hajrudin, the giant in the Fleet, had agreed to help guide them to Elbaf, should they need to land there. If they were going to be dealing with Blackbeard, there was no telling how many ships of his own they might face. There was no telling what he was even planning - but if Shanks was involved, it couldn’t have been good, given the actions Shanks took at Marineford.

And if her parents got in the middle of that…

“I can’t believe a group of pirates is going after a group of Marines, in order to help them,” Zoro said with a frown as he leaned against the mast.

“I know we’re all wanted, now more than ever. I can’t - I can’t thank you enough for agreeing to do this,” she said, her fingers still shaking. “I know this isn’t easy -”

“You’re hurt. It’s not hard,” Luffy said, glancing over at her. “These are your parents, the reason you even set sail with us. Of course we were gonna help you get them back.”

“I just wonder how your parents are gonna react to seeing a bunch of pirates coming to rescue them. I mean, isn’t your mom a Vice Admiral now?” Sanji questioned with a raised brow. “The government won’t exactly like that.”

She scoffed. “My parents aren’t loyal to the government, Sanji. They never were. They were only biding their time until someone finally took them down. And they aren’t the only Marines that are sick of the Celestial Dragons either. There’s a whole rebellion brewing right under their noses.”

“If those Marines aren’t happy with the World Government, what is it that they want?” Nami questioned.

“Freedom. They still want to fight against pirates and arrest criminals, but they don’t agree with slavery, or the supression of information. The problem is, they can’t move without the Celestial Dragon system being abolished, and even if they could, well, there is the issue of those Marines still loyal to the Celestial Dragons.”

Robin took a deep, steadying breath. “I can’t even imagine how something like this can exist. Everything that was swept under the rug, everything that Sakazuki did - he couldn’t possibly be part of that sect, could he?”

She shook her head. “He’s not, which is part of the issue. They were hoping with Sengoku’s retirement, they could put a Fleet Admiral in that aligned to their views, and help fix the Marines from the inside, but…”

“Sakazuki won the duel on Punk Hazard.”

“So it’s basically everyone against the Celestial Dragons,” Usopp said with a frown.

“Them and Blackbeard,” Reika replied. “Truth is, SWORD made a deal with the I.D.R.A to exchange information on Blackbeard’s movements.”

Robin let out a hmph under her breath. “And now two of SWORD’s agents, who have ties with the I.D.R.A, are missing, and it took another SWORD agent to call it in, and, despite the excitement of the Reverie, the disappearance of two of the Marines best and brightest hasn’t even made a corner of the newspaper. It’s strange, isn’t it?”

“What are you suggesting?” Carrot questioned.

“I… don’t want to say it, but I think it’s possible that Sakazuki set Reika’s parents up by sending them to Blackbeard. It’s possible he knows about their affiliation.”

Reika closed her eyes and sighed. “I was really hoping you weren’t going to say that, but I can’t help but think about it either. Even with the new SSG Vegapunk created to replace the warlords, it’s not common to send the engineers out with the officer. They all know how to control it, so why send my dad with my mom?”

Robin nodded in agreement. “Exactly. It sounds like an excellent way to get both of them out of the way without having to spill a lot of blood.”

“No, just the blood of a bunch of Marines that don’t know the truth. His own men. What a coward,” Jinbei said, gripping the ship’s wheel tighter. “It makes me sick to think that someone like that would be in a position of power.”

Luffy humped, cracking his knuckles. “If he really hurt Reika’s parents, I’m gonna kick his ass after I kick Blackbeard and Shanks’. He tried to kill Ace and I at Marineford, and I can’t forgive that. He’s still gotta pay for that, right?”

“Well obviously, no one tries to kill our captain and gets away with it,” Sanji smirked. “But if we’re going to get into a beef with the last two emperors, we gotta have some sort of plan.” He said this, then glanced at every other Straw Hat besides Luffy. They all knew even if he was let in on the plan, he wouldn’t follow it no matter how hard they tried.

Yet, it worked every single time.

She just had to have faith that it would work again.

-----

Something was wrong. Everyone on Marineford knew it, but no one dared to say it out loud.

Yes, Genji and Miaka Muto had been sent after two of the most dangerous pirates to ever roam the seas, one of whom they had actively been keeping an eye on, but it wasn’t like them to not check in with Takeshi, and more importantly, Garp.

So yes, Rei knew something was terribly wrong, but with a three year old, it was hard to focus on her fears instead of trying to pretend everything was okay, for Kaiya’s sake.

Takeshi also wasn’t helping matters, on edge with the lack of communication with his parents, and Rei hoped Kaiya hadn’t picked up on her father’s worry.

Rei had been going over to Genji and Miaka’s every day since they’d left on their mission, to make sure everything was clean and no one had gotten inside. It was what a good daughter-in-law should be doing, right?

Well, regardless, no one had stopped her.

And she noticed, with each visit, that something was different. Several photos were missing, having been replaced with the default stock photo. Books that had been neatly stacked upon the bookcases were gone, including the history book Takeshi had given Genji for his birthday the previous year.

They must have been concerned about something, and it was making Rei’s skin crawl. She wasn’t much of a fighter, she could wield a sword enough to defend herself or - heaven forbid - Kaiya, but that didn’t mean she would stand a chance against any of the officers she was surrounded by.

She was taking it day by day, because that was all she could do without going insane.

“They’re going to be okay, Takeshi,” she said, coming downstairs after putting Kaiya down for bed and finding Takeshi pacing the kitchen floor. “You know them. They aren’t going to let anyone kill them. Not after everything they’ve been through.”

“It’s still not like them to not check in, if not with me, then with Garp. And I don’t understand why Akainu isn’t taking it more seriously.”

“Mmm,” she hummed, wrapping her arms around him. “He’ll fall, like the others.”

Takeshi squeezed her hands. “I know he will. I just hate that this happened. To not know where they are - God, I wanted to understand what Reika felt when Mom and Dad disappeared the first time but… not like this.”

“I know.”

They stood in the kitchen silently, hearing the waves lapping against the breakwall outside, until the sound of vibrations from the device - the cell phone, she remembered - broke the peaceful moment.

And there were only three people who had access to the number.

Takeshi jumped to the drawer they kept the phone in, digging around and putting it on speaker phone as he answered. “Hello?”

“Hey, Takeshi.” Reika sounded exhausted and her voice was hoarse.

“Reika… how are you?”

There was no sense in asking if she was okay. They both knew the answer was likely to be no, she wasn’t okay.

“I’m… surviving. You?”

“Surviving. We’re trying to put on a brave face for Kaiya, but it’s hard. She keeps asking if they’ll be home soon. What are you guys up to?”

“They’ll be home soon. I promise you that,” Reika said, before sighing. “I’m not sure I should tell you that. No telling if Akainu will try to torture it out of you.”

Takeshi’s eyebrow twitched. “You’re my sister. I think I deserve to know what you’re doing, especially since you’re part of the crew that killed Kaido!”

“In our defense, we were not the ones that killed him. We left that to the Wano people.”

“Reika, come on.”

“Okay, okay. Drake told me Mom and Dad were near Elbaf when they were supposed to be spying on Shanks and Blackbeard. We’re going to Elbaf to see if there’s any sign they were there. Or if the giants know anything.”

“Elbaf? You know that place is dangerous, Reika! The giants won’t take kindly to regular humans, especially pirates!”

“What if I told you that I knew a giant that was going to help us? And that I met four more over the course of being on this crew?” Reika questioned with a hum. “I’ll be safe, Takeshi. I promise. The giants won’t hurt us. You know as well as I do that the sooner we find Mom and Dad, the better. If they had to fight Blackbeard…”

Takeshi sighed, and Rei put an arm around him. “We know that, Reika. We just don’t want to lose anyone else.”

“You won’t. I swear on the seas, Takeshi, I will find Mom and Dad, and they will be okay, and Akainu will pay for what he’s done. The rebellion is getting stronger every day, and I don’t just mean SWORD. People like him, the megalomaniacs who need to control everything, and everything needs to be their way and nothing else… well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Akainu and those horrible Celestial Dragons will be no different,” she paused and took a deep breath. “I know this is going to be hard for you both, knowing what you grew up believing, but I need you to have faith in my crew. I need you to put your faith in a group of pirates.”

Rei inhaled sharply. That was quite a task Reika was requesting of them. To put their faith in a group of pirates, even if they were the ones Reika was sailing with and they - according to her, anyway - weren’t as evil as other pirates, it was still difficult to think about. Especially knowing that Takeshi’s home island had been attacked by pirates.

She looked at Takeshi, and saw his face, screwed up in conflict and pain, and she was suddenly glad these phones did not take the face of the people using them, unlike the Den-Den Mushis.

Finally, Takeshi sighed.

“Alright. I’ll put my faith in your crew, and not just in you.”

“Thank you, Takeshi. I promise, we won’t let you down.”

------

Elbaf was impressive, even from the far distance they were positioned. Trees and other shadows - buildings, most likely - loomed in the distance.

“I always wanted to see where Dorry and Broggy were from. Oimo and Kashi really talked this place up. I didn’t think we’d be getting into another fight with two more emperors though,” Usopp said with a shudder. “I thought it’d be a fun visit.”

“It will be!” Luffy replied with a grin. “We’ll beat up Blackbeard and Shanks and party with Reika’s parents and the giants! Sanjiii! I’m hungry!” And with that, their captain was gone, bouncing into the kitchen.

Usopp shook his head, a small, amused smile on his face. “How is it that he can keep thinking all of these battles will be so easy after what we just went through?”

“Believe it or not, Luffy’s attitude is what’s keeping me sane,” Reika sighed, leaning against the railing as Elbaf slowly grew closer and closer. “I just wonder why Shanks and Blackbeard were meeting here, of all places. It’s not like the giants are loyal to pirates or the government.”

“Well, it’s not like Shanks has a lot of known-established territory. He’s always been the most mysterious of the Emperors,” Usopp mused. “He doesn’t have a huge amount of territory, and nothing well-known either, just a few little islands where and there that he protects.”

Nami set down her pen. “I just can’t believe we’re actually going to meet Shanks. Luffy’s told so many stories about him, it feels like we’ve already met! But - how are you feeling about all this, Usopp? You’re going to be seeing your dad for the first time in how long?”

Usopp sighed and looked out at the clear blue seas again. “I don’t know. I thought I’d be excited to see him. He was my sero after all, when I was a kid, but… he left when Mom was starting to get sick, and he never once tried to check up on her. I know he’s part of Shanks’ crew and everything, but I don’t see what would have stopped him from going home at least once, knowing she was sick.”

“Mm. I understand what you mean. I just hope everything works out for you.”

“Yeah, for you too, Reika.”

“Hey look at that! You guys grew a lot from the last time we saw you!” Oimo shouted as the Sunny docked on Elbaf’s shore. “Kashi, they’re here!”

Usopp laughed and scratched the back of his head when they stepped off the ship. “Hey guys. I wish this was a social call, but - ”

“Oh, don’t worry! Hajrudin got here yesterday and told us what was going on. Prince Loki was a little concerned about allowing so many pirates to dock on the island, but given your accomplishments over Big Mom, he’s making an exception.”

“Good. We heard that Shanks and Blackbeard were supposed to meet up. Anything come from that?” Zoro asked while Jinbei tried to corral Luffy into paying attention.

Kashi frowned. “Yeah, there was a battle in an archipelago not too far from here. We could see the explosions from the cannons and the Devil Fruit powers going nuts all night,” Kashi explained. “Shanks and his crew are resting up there now. The battle looked really intense.”

“What about the Marine ship? Do you know anything about it?”

Oimo and Kashi both frowned, and Reika’s heart sank.

“Yeah, we saw it too. It got involved in the battle, but only after it looked like Blackbeard had won against Shanks,” Oimo said.

“They were merciless against the Marines. If there were any survivors, you may want to try looking at the archipelago,” Kashi finished. “It would’ve been the closest landmass once their ship went down.”

Reika’s legs buckled, but she felt Robin’s extra arms hold her up so she didn’t collapse to the ground completely.

“What’s the concern? Hajrudin just said it was important that you guys figure out what happened.”

“My parents were the commanders of the Marine ship. I need to - I gotta go there. I gotta find them,” she whispered, unable to breathe. “I have to find them!”

“Your parents are Marines and you joined a group that broke into a government stronghold?” Oimo questioned with a laugh. “You really are somethin’ else aren’t ya?”

“Suppose we all have our own views of justice,” she murmured, holding out her hand. “Blizzard Dragon, I summon thee!”

The dragon roared as it appeared in front of her, bowing its head to grant her permission to climb aboard, which she did without hesitation.

“Hey wait! I’m going with you!” Chopper called, scrambling up the dragon until he was standing in front of her, a large duffle bag with him. “If they’re hurt, they’ll need a doctor to patch them back up. Er, one that actually has all his supplies, anyway.”

“Alright,” she said, glancing back at Nami. “I have one of the Den-Den’s on me. I’ll call you as soon as I figure out what’s going on. Hey, Luffy?”

Luffy paused in his quest to climb a statue and glanced over at her.

“If I see Shanks at that archipelago, do you want me to give him a message?”

He grinned, that wide, goofy grin that was full of determination and drive. “Tell him I’m waiting for him!”

“Aye aye, Captain,” Reika said, and the dragon flew into the air, speeding in the direction of the archipelago and pulling out her cloaking device.

“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Chopper asked with a frown. “What if - ”

“If one of the Marines sees me, they need to know that I’m not going to mean any harm. If one of them still has a gun, nothing would stop them from shooting at us. If Blackbeard did that much damage to them, they’re likely on edge. Which means you should be careful too.”

“Right.”

It wasn’t a long flight with the speed the dragon was able to go, and before long, the small archipelago came into view. She could see Shanks’ ship docked at a far corner of one, and the remnants of her mother’s warship marooned on the island closest to them.

Just as she thought, several of the men that were able to, had their weapons pointing straight at them.

“Oi! Put your weapons down! It’s me!” she shouted. “I’m here to help!”

“Prove it! Prove you’re Reika!”

Reika smirked a little. “Kaiya once threw up all over you, Daiki. She ended up having food poisoning from the cheap restaurant Sakazuki finally shut down.”

Daiki looked uncomfortable at the memory, but dropped the gun. The other two took it as a sign to do the same, and Reika was able to land safely, sending the dragon back to the Monster World after Chopper climbed on her back.

“Sorry about that, Reika. We - we thought you were maybe a pirate when we saw you with that tanuki. He’s - he’s a member of the Straw Hats, you know?”

“He’s the one most easily duped. A little cotton candy and he agreed to come with me. He’s also a doctor. I figured you’d need help. Where are my parents?”

Daiki glanced nervously at Chopper, then at his companions. “They’re through that thicket of trees. It’s the most-concealed place on this island. If - if that tanuki really is a doctor, he needs to see them first.”

She didn’t wait, rushing through the trees with Chopper. When she broke through, she indeed found her parents, bandaged, bruised, and looking like hell as she dropped to her knees next to her father.

“Dad…?” she whimpered.

Genji opened his eyes slowly. “R - Reika?”

She covered one of his hands with hers. “I’m here Dad. I’m here and I brought help, okay?”

He groaned softly and turned his head in Chopper’s direction. “Isn’t that the - ”

“Luffy wanted to help.”

Her mother’s eyes flew open in a panic, and her father looked the same.

“No. Reika, you shouldn’t have come here.”

She stared at them, flabbergasted. “Don’t be ridiculous, you’re my parents! I tore the world apart to find you once, and I’d do it again.”

“Blackbeard said after he was done with Shanks, he was going after Luffy. Our scouts have seen him in the area,” Miaka winced, sitting up on her elbow and ignoring Chopper’s protests. “He claims to have all of the ponegylphs. He plans to kill his competition… and he’s made a point to start with your crew.”

Emperor’s New Clothes

Finders keepers, losers weepers!

When Sanji is wed, the Strawhats are too little, too late.

They come upon bloody bodies stuck on tables and chairs, all looking similar to their beloved Cook sans a large man with the only defining feature of blonde hair. They’re all barely alive, clinging to air for how knows long. Chopper is immediately upon them, panicked but steady, shouting instructions over Pedro and Brook’s direction as Carrot tries not to puke with Nami helping her out.

Luffy stands in front of the altar, quiet but not for long.

“Nami,” he says, without looking away at the place where Sanji had been forcefully thrust upon some random girl. He knows he likes women—loves them, even. But this place is a cage hidden with sweets and food that Luffy would never glance at, and Luffy should know (he nearly lost a brother to a similar, golden cage—). “Where?”

Nami stops from where she’s rubbing circles on the Mink’s back, sees the steel line on Luffy’s—no, her Captain’s shoulders and feels a comforting weight settle on her like a protective blanket, and she understands. She may not have Zoro’s innate understanding, nor Robin’s intelligent observations, or Ussop’s easy camaraderie, but she’s his Navigator. She’s the one who guids his anger and let him loose.

It isn’t raining, and there is no Aqua Laguna to run away from, but a nakama is missing (taken away from their home—) and if she has to set the World Government Flag on fire, she will.

“Follow me,” she answers, and knows it’s true.

(They’d give up their lives for him, but knows it’s harder to come back after turning him away)

—

Sanji is found in a small cottage, asleep and with a girl—his bride, but she looked no older than Shirahoshi—who cries and attempts to kill them with a grin on her face.

Luffy bats her away, then breaks the pistol and knife on her grasp. Face devoid of any joy, he asks, “Are you going to hurt him?”

Speechless, she doesn’t speak. But Luffy’s eyes tell stories when he doesn’t have the patience to, and she tears up as she nods, “For as long as I live.”

Nodding, and deeming her sincere, Luffy walks up to his Cook’s slumbering form and sets his hat on his chest without a word.

Exiting the safe haven amidst a cake-frosted wonderland, Strawhat Luffy leaves for war.

—

Katakuri sees the man in front of him, thin but whipcord strength hidden underneath his fancy clothes, a fedora atop where a strawhat should be.

He sees, then, still only for a moment, but what he has yet to hear staggers him.

“Move, I have no reason to fight you.”

It takes him a few beats before he realizes that Luffy had spoken in the present, and he can’t help the confused, “What?” Even as he already knows his answer, which was more baffling than the first one.

“Pigtails would cry, and she likes Sanji so I won’t make her sad,” was his simple reply. It was dumbfounding. “So move. I don’t wanna fight you.”

“And why should I?” He finds himself asking, and feels the breath knocked out of him when he gets an answer.

“I have business with Big Mom.”

—

Jinbei sets down the red cup, no fear whatsoever, for he knows his Captain will be the Future Pirate King. A mere Emperor should not faze him.

Then he comes, decked in red and black, his signature item gone but Jinbei isn’t worried. Luffy-kun is calm, eerily so, and it reminds him starkly of his desperate run towards his brother.

But this is different. This time, Sanji-kun is somewhere safe with a protector by his side, and Luffy is not alone.

“Oi,” he says, unheeding the others’ murmurs and incredulous stares. “You’re the one who took my Cook, right?” His brows furrow. “And you made Fishman Island your territory. You’re doing a pretty sucky job at it.”

“Oh? Aren’t you that pesky rookie who claimed Fishman Island as your own?” Big Mom sneers, haughty and confident in her powers. Around them, her children stir in unease, but refuse to show weakness. “Come here to prostrate yourself? Hah! As if I’d let you live.”

Then, in a rare occurence of seriousness, Luffy-kun’s face is shadowed as he shoots back, “I should be the one saying that to you.” And then he’s a blur of rage.

Big Mom meets his haki-coated fist with one of her own, the collision an explosion of wills that sends majority of those present flying, and Jinbei watches in awe even as he struggles to stand.

This... is a fight between Conquerors.

He sees one of Big Mom’s children—a little girl, who looked severely displeased—try to hit Luffy-kun woth her weapon, and he sends a stream of caramel towards her. Shifting into his favored stance, Jinbei faces the children of the soon-to-be defeated Emperor and introduces himself, palm up, “I am Jinbei of the Strawhat Pirates, and I shall be your opponent! Let’s not bother them, yes?”

—

They’re still fighting.

Pedro knows what Strawhat is doing is risky, knows that they still need to get to Wano, but Strawhat is still fighting and he’s losing.

“Pedro!” Nami yells, secure with the fact that they’ve gotten a copy of the Red Poneglyph. “We need to go! We’ll just get caught up in the crossfire at this rate!”

“But your captain—“

“Luffy will be fine!” She interrupts, and smiles. It’s not without worry, but filled with faith. Not blind faith of someone who worships gods, but one that has seen happenings people would call miracles when it was merely a kind and brave act of a human soul. “He’s gonna be the nest Pirate King, remember?” She winks, and Pedro...

Pedro remembers watching the Pirate King’s execution, remembers the rain against his fur and his sword slipping out of his paws.

Then he remembers all that they had done—infiltrated Tottoland, stole a copy of a Red Poneglyph, allied with another Worst Generation Rookie, successfully retrieved their crewmate—and lets himself hope that the sun will shine again, and bring about a new dawn.

Perhaps, after this, he’ll see his home bright and happy (truly happy) once this is done.

—

Luffy unlocks Snakeman, but it’s not enough.

He knows he’s not strong yet, knows there’s a reason Torao became his friend before going after Kaido, but Sanji was hurt and his family nearly got killes and Sanji—his kind, sweet Cook with a bleeding heart and kicks as hard as steel—would forever blame himself if he didn’t do anything about it.

Sanji is strong, but not as strong as he is. And Luffy is the Captain, so it’s his turn to help him.

Once more concentrating on his haki, he stores up all the helplessness at Sanji being taken away (yet another failure, what kind of captain is he?), the fury (how dare they steal Sanji’s freedom!?), the sorrow (oh, he’ll be sad. He’’ll cry. Luffy can’t let that happen), the glee (he’s safe he’s here he’s whole he won’t die like Ace—) and glares down at Big Mom, huffing and puffing and the flames on her hair dying. The cloud was taken by Nami, so he won’t have to worry about that. He’s rubber, anyway.

He recalls Katakuri’s resigned admittance, the way he’d said, “I can’t leave my family.”

It sounded like—(“Leave them. If I come back with you, leave them.”)

It doesn’t matter now. He’ll beat up Big Mom, make Crybaby-Hoshi’s home safe, and take back the Mochi-bastard with them to Wano. He’ll like the donuts Sanji’ll make.

Decision made, he jumps and meets Big Mom head-on and, this time, it’ll be the last time.

—

When it happened, nobody knew except those in Tottoland had any idea what was going on (not even those who watched it with their own eyes could dream to describe it).

It starts like a thunderclap, but silent. An abrupt hush all over the world, enveloping everything within, and left all wondering but largely unafraid.

Only one can put it into words, but that was only because he’d lived through it before.

Rayleigh looked up not at the sky, but the sea in the horizon, and mused, “Took you long enough,” as he drank a glass of whiskey.

Roger’s had been more like a roar, a threat and a promise all wrapped in one.

“Let’s turn the world upside-down,” he said. And he did. Oh, how well he did.

But Luffy’s was different. A declaration of war, a simple fact with no room for arguement:

“Mine.”

And Rayleigh can’t help but laugh, for the boy who only wanted freedom and adventure, will be the one who conquered all.

—

He couldn’t believe it. Mama, Mama was—

Dynasty decapitated—

Oven looked at where Mama’s body had flown, sinking into the depths of the sea she loved so. Strawhat Luffy was barely standing, but the sight that he was, that Mama was the one who wasn’t—

“I told you, didn’t I?” He heard, and saw the other Strawhats emerge from where they were hiding on their ship. The busty gingerhead was smiling smugly at a jaw-dropped Pedro, Zeus (coward traitor that he was) cowering behind her shoulder.

—you just might see a ghost tonight.

“Luffy!” The racoon(?) yelled, worry in his features and pale, “You’re injured—heck, you’re worse than any physical dismemberment I’ve seen in my life! And let me tell, you, Doctorine made sure of that!”

“Luffy-san!” The skeleton yohohoho’ed, but the grip he had on his guitar was, well, bone-white. “Come, let us come home! Our nakama is waiting for us!”

Groggily, Strawhat lifts his head up, gaze blurry and almost catatonic. If he moves now, he could—

“Don’t,” Oven gaped at his triplet, and barely has a second to understand what he meant before Strawhta speaks up, voice shaky but with a command that said, Listen.

“You...” he whispers, coarsely. “This place... and Fish...’n Island...”

Oven knew what he was about to say, but nothing prepared for him to be pinned down by a stare heavier than gravity itself,

“They’re mine now.”

Then Katakuri flinches, seeing something with his advanced sight as he chokes out a, What!? And then he realizes Strawhat wasn’t done. Not yet.

Finger pointed solely on his big brother—their Katakuri, Luffy announces, “Him too.”

There’s a stillness, like the whole world was holding in its breath. And then—

“I can’t,” Katakuri answers, and he looks so sad and small that Oven can’t believe he’ve never seen this. Never seen the longing and sheer want that Katakuri’s gaze held as he watched Strawhat fight and breathe like he was God’s Word come to life. “I—“

“I...” he pants, but his eyes are determined—the same determination that brought Mama down with his fists and pure spite. “...are you happy?”

Katakuri doesn’t answer. It was enough.

“Go,” Oven murmurs, and Katakuri looks so shocked that his heart clenched. Had they really been so blind to their brother’s woes? “Join him. Call us sometimes.”

Daifuku claps his shoulder, and Smoothie nods. Amande takes out her cigar, and Annana is too young but smiles supportively nevertheless. Katakuri watches his family wait for him, and feels tears pool his eyes.

Brulee pushes him, only able to move him because he was idle, and she tears up as she says, “Be free, brother.”

You’ve done so much for us, let us return your love.

“It’s not goodbye,” Daifuku says. “It never is.”

Throughout it all, Strawhat is patient, and the rest of his crew don’t move. Though the racoon seemed to be a second away from sprinting on land and dragging Katakuri back himself.

Swallowing, Katakuri approaches Straw—no, his Captain, and kneels. Not in deference, but to meet him eye to eye.

Slowly, he unravels his scarf, and despite the horrified intakes of breaths, all the Charlotte Siblings had eyes on were Luffy.

And he doesn’t disappoint (not like Mama—Big Mom)

“Huh, cool teeth...” he grins, tired but so full of warmth even Oven feels safe looking at it. What more to Katakuri who’s been accepted without a second thought? “Like... Barto’s... you guys should... meet...”

“Of course,” Katakuri says, and it sounds like a vow, like I’ll follow you beyond death.

Oven doesn’t blame him.

“From now henceforth,” Smoothie suddenly breaks the atmosphere. All look, expect for Luffy who is carried by Katakuri as if it was the most natural thing to do in the world. Maybe it was, maybe it is. “The Big Mom Pirates are now underneath the Strawhats’ Flag. Any opposition?”

None, save for Luffy’s dismayed groan of, There is no Strawhat Grand Fleet!

Scattered laughter erupts, and Katakuri looks more relaxed than Oven has ever seen him just by being with Luffy, and feels more glad of his decision.

And so Katakuri carries Luffy back home to their ship, with Jinbei and the Sun Pirates following, and Oven feels content.

—

Sanji can’t face him, doesn’t even dare to look at his—at Luffy, the strawhat a heavy reminder of what he left behind, of what he’d done.

“I can’t be the Pirate King without you!”

“Sanji,” Luffy starts, and Sanji can’t hold back his sobs. How could he, when the floor he’s looking at is the welcome sight of Sunny’s wonderful kitchen, when he’s away from that hellhole (and his blood family was alive, by the gods—), when standing before him was a Messiah that refused to be known as anythinh other than simply Luffy.

But he lifts his head up still, meets unfathomable dark eyes, and as they soften with a knowing look, Sanji—

Sanji breaks.

It’s messy, a loud keen tearing from his abused throat. His wrists are free and he still has his hands, his Captain is kissing them like they’re pure gold itself, and he’s wrapped in an embrace like nothing can touch him and he knows it’s true. Knows that, for him—useless, unwanted failure of Germa 66. Simple East Blue cook with a debt never (could never be) repaid and skirt-chaser. Vinsmoke Sanji. Blackleg Sanji. Strawhat Sanji—Luffy would break heaven and raise unimaginable hell. For anyone he considers as nakama—

For anyone he loves and Sanji can’t—

“I’m sorry,” it’s weak, nothing compared to the feeling of his Captain’s face smashed against his shoe, and he wants to cut his legs off—“I—I wanna go home.” I wanna go home with you.

I wanna go to the sea with you.

I—

“Silly Sanji,” he shishishi’s, and it sounds like forgiveness he doesn’t deserve. Curved crescents and a blinding grin. “You’re already home. We’re in the Sunny, remember?”

Welcome home.

Sanji laughs, hysterical and so full of relief. And then Luffy’s—his Captain, by god—dragging him out to the deck to meet “Mochi-bastard, he loves donuts!”, and it doesn’t matter that Nami had slapped him when she’s hugging him so tearfully like he’d slip through her fingers, doesn’t matter that he lied to Chopper when he’s clinging on his leg with insults spewing out, doesn’t matter that Brook was a skeleton when he shakes and rattles as he holds him close—

Because Sanji... Sanji’s finally home.

I wanna give All Blue to you, my Captain.

—

Torao looks at the way Blackleg-ya had a piece of Mugiwara-ya’s yukata on his hand, like a child that could get lost in a crowd. He looks at the unmistakeable forms of the Former Warlord Jinbei-ya’s “First Son of the Sea”, and Charlotte Katakuri “Dogtooth” having brunch with a three-eyed woman. He looks at Roronoa-ya’s unsurprised and exasperatedly fond look and just. Throws his hands up in the air and walks away.

He’s not paid enough to deal with this shit.

—

Shanks takes one look at the newspaper the News Coo gave him and spits out his drink.

“Capt’n?” Yassop asked, early-riser that he is. “What’s—“ he stops, and Shanks feels his shoulders shake.

There, bold in and huge, were the words printed for the world to know, “Big Mom, Defeated! Strawhat Luffy Is Crowned Emperor of the Seas!” And “Fishman Island and Tottoland, Flies the Strawhats’ Flags!”

Shanks finally guffaws, loud and like his old Captain’s, and he yells to the bastards he called nakama, “See this? Anchor’s an Emperor now! Just like your Captain! DAHAHAHAHAHA!”

“What,” is Benn’s first words in the morning. Yassop is still looking at the newspaper as if it could answer the questions of the universe. “He just brought down Joker, can’t that brat take a rest for us old folk?”

“Nope!” Lucky Roux beams, drumstick at hand. “It’s how we met him, remember?” And Shanks does. He really, truly does. Just like how he ran up on the dock of his West Blue island home and yelled at Roger to take him in.

Feeling for the phantom of a strawhat loved and dear, Shanks faces the sea and hollers, “All hands on deck! Set a course, my fellow bastards!”

“Where to, Captain?” Benn asks, but his grey eyes already know.

Gleefully, he screams an announcement of his own:

I’m taking back the crown! I’m all dressed up and naked!

“Wano! I wanna see Anchor plummet Kaido to the ground!”

I see what’s mine and take it!

“Make way for the King.”

I wanna talk about Whole Cake Island too!

So, I’m reading Whole Cake Island right now. And I have THOUGHTS about Sanji and Luffy’s “”””fight””””. And it’s probably nothing anyone hasn’t said before but I’m gonna write it out anyway.

(TL;DR Sanji and Luffy fight and it hurts because they both go for the throat. Also Nami has been through this shit I am surprised she’s putting up with Sanji trying to leave in the slightest.)

So first, yeah, I’m screaming into a pillow because this shit is rough. Let’s get those personal emotions out of the way first.

Sanji’s whole thing is that he cares and serves, right? His love language is acts of service and that’s primarily shown through feeding people. When we meet the Vinsmokes (I shall not be referring to them as his family) we see pretty quickly that they are the antithesis to everything Sanji is.

The men are literally said to lack the ability to sympathize or empathize. Not only do we see this is the case, but Reiju says so herself:

They do not value cooking nor food. Judge tells Sanji to never cook again, Niji wastes food.

And, of course, the brothers have no qualms about hitting women. The whole chivalry/won’t hit a women thing is a huge can of worms I don’t feel like unpacking in part because I don’t feel like I could talk about it without discussing women’s power levels and roles in One Piece. And I’ve already digressed too much.

So yeah, the Vinsmokes are the opposite of Sanji and hold none of his values. In fact, they may be why he holds some of his values, because they are as far from the Vinsmoke’s values as possible.

Okay so the two chapters in particular when Luffy and Nami find and confront Sanji!

Pretty immediately we see that 1. Sanji was not expecting them, 2. He’s distressed that they’re here, and 3. It complicates things for him.

Like, that is not a face of someone happy to see his friends who have come to save him. That is an “oh fuck” face. (And as a sidenote, yeah, it’s a whole lot harder to sacrifice yourself when you’re confronted with the people you’re leaving behind, HUH, SANJI????)

Luffy’s all happy to see him, feels like they’ve accomplished their goal, doesn’t question that Sanji would want to come back. And he’s got things to do! Like save Wano and beat up Kaido! Chop chop Sanji let’s go on adventures! Plus, I would think that Luffy would also have the expectation of his crew that they understand that no one gets to leave if they’re doing it to sacrifice themselves. He’s already shown he’s gonna come get you and Sanji knows this. Sanji’s first arc with them after Baratie was going to save Nami from Arlong and her self-sacrificial bullshit! Luffy’s modus operandi is saying “Oh, you thought you were in a lose-lose situation and the only solution was to sacrifice your happiness and well being? Fuck that! You’re my nakama, let me save you!”

Both Luffy and Nami aren’t questioning Sanji’s wanting to come with them. They’re here, it’s time to go!

And so then we see the surface level reasons why Sanji would say “No, I can’t go with you.” And we also see that he knows Judge is watching him.

I don't think Nami's buying it either. She's done this. She knows what it's like to be trapped by circumstances, to have your loved ones held hostage. And she did this shit too! She fuckin laid it down, lied to her nakama about it all being a farce in her efforts to keep them out of her dangerous situation! Maybe the words sting, but I think this face of hers is even more from her thinking about how they all know eachother so much more, and know how Luffy wouldn't leave one of them behind. So Sanji must be under some real duress right now. Like, I feel like she could extrapolate a lot from what he's saying because she knows that's not who he is. And because she's tried the same shit. And, I wonder if she’s hurting for him because she knows what it’s like.

Every chance she gets, she reiterates that there was nothing between them, that she doesn’t care about them, that she tricked them, and even uses her supposed killing of Usopp as support of her betraying them. She is desperately trying to get them off this island. Arlong is well covered, we all know what’s up.

And, the parallels are pretty clear for Sanji. He’s got family being held hostage (Zeff, and the Strawhats too), and he couldn’t leave anyway because he’s got explosion bracelets on. Plus he’s got his own self-sacrificial streak (which I could guess comes from being raised in a household where you’re told you don’t have any value and everything you do is wrong-the fact that Sanji still cried at Judge’s rejection of him right before his escape speaks to how as a child he still wanted Judge’s approval and love as a father).

So, he comes out swinging with the thing that we previously established would be the shittiest thing to say, that Luffy rejected the possibility of him saying.

And then he starts on this buckwild speech that is so fucking hammed up I almost questioned if Sanji meant for them to understand the opposite of his words, and was just putting on a show for the Vinsmokes.

Nami only says he’s going too far when Sanji starts insulting Luffy’s dream, which the whole crew believes in and supports.

Also, as a side note, it doesn’t really make sense to me that Nami would just take on the role of “you’re going too far, you can’t believe what you’re saying!” Maybe Chopper would do that cuz he’s gullible and shit. BUT NAMI FREAKIN DID THE SAME SHIT. I would almost expect a “...” speechbubble from her and later her saying something like “He really tried his best to make that look convincing, didn’t he? He’s not very good at it.”

Nami’s savvy!

But anyway, yeah, Sanji tries to go for the throat to push thme away saying shit about Luffy not being able to become the Pirate King. My first reaction to this whole thing was:

“WOW HE'S REALLY DOING IT, HUH? HE'S LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH TO SAY THE MOST HURTFUL SHIT HE CAN TO HIS LOVED ONES SO THEY'LL STAY AWAY SO HE CAN SACRIFICE HIMSELF TO STOP ANYONE FROM GETTING HURT”

Usopp has tried to leave too, but his situation was different. His reasons were stated clearly and he didn’t try to pretend that all the shit they’ve gone through together and the bonds they’ve formed were fake. Nami, Robin, Sanji? They try to do the “ah, I never loved you” bullshit.

But Sanji’s is the first time that from the get-go, the audience knows before the confrontation everything that’s going on for the crewmember trying to fake betrayal. With Nami and Robin, we didn’t learn their backstories until after they tried to push people away. With Sanji not only did we get it beforehand, but when Luffy and Nami show up, we are shown the three pieces of information that Sanji thinks about and that motivate him to push his crewmates away:

His hands (his treasures) are bound and threatened.

His nakama are threatened.

Zeff is threatened.

He’s backed into a freakin corner! And he know’s Luffy’s track record on crew members trying to leave! So he goes for the throat and when that doesn’t work (or for the whole performance he’s putting on for the Vinsmokes) he attacks Luffy.

Luffy says he won’t fight Sanji, and I wonder if this is because of Water 7 and Usopp. That fight was so fucking painful, I wonder if Luffy vowed to never fight someone like that again?

Clearly he isn’t getting through to Sanji, even though, to him, Sanji should know what the deal is by now.

So he goes for the throat himself! Which is honestly just heartwrenching on Oda’s part and pretty unfair on Luffy’s part. Though, when has Luffy ever been fair lol. His whole crew agrees his selfishness levels are above emperor!

This page pretty much sums it up:

Also, throughout this entire encounter we get glimpses of Sanji thinking about the crew and meeting Luffy, which is cool to see his internal world somewhat.When Luffy first shows up. I mean. Look at the pain on his face.

This is not a “we have a difference in ideals and are fighting over it and I’m thinking about how we met because I regret that it’s come to this.” fight. It’s not even a fight. It’s Sanji desperately saying “Please leave before you die because of me!”

Actually, maybe it is kind of a fight of ideals because Sanji is fighting to say “leave me behind I’m not worth it” and Luffy’s saying “yes you are.”

For all the extremely clear things going on emotionally for people in this scene, I’m surprised Oda just left Nami’s responses at this. But, since he did, it means I get to interpret them how I please!

This could simply be read as her feeling betrayed and shit. But again, they all know the history of the crew. This could just as easily be her saying “You went too far.” or “I can’t believe you wouldn’t believe in Luffy enough to come back with us.”

I said she could probably guess at him feeling like he’s stuck, backed into a corner. And if I remember correctly she is aware that the Strawhat’s lives are threatened if Sanji doesn’t comply with Big Mom’s wishes. But she probably wouldn’t guess at the bracelets being bombs and doesn’t know (but might guess) at the Baratie being threatened too. Nami knows all about people who claim “family” as an excuse to hurt and bind you.

But basically, I would think for her, it would be a situation of her feeling like at this point Sanji should know Luffy well enough to know he won’t give up, and to trust Luffy enough to take Sanji home. So why the fuck would he try to play this game when they’ve all seen that it doesn’t work? Why say the most hurtful things he can think of? And why not just come home now?

I don’t think she’s angry at him for the betrayal he’s trying to act out, I think she’s angry at him for the betrayal he’s committing for not trusting the crew to get him out of there.

(Again, haven’t read past this part but I could absolutely see later Nami saying “do you think we acted hurt enough for them to buy it?”)

And then of course, the last four pages of the chapter where Luffy clearly calls bullshit on Sanji, saying Sanji felt the pain of his kicks more than Luffy did. And Sanji is just starting to fucking lose it. (panels from right to left)

Like, Luffy. Chill. It hurts so much! But no, he can’t just call Sanji out. He’s gotta go for the kill, present Sanji with an unacceptable situation he knows he can’t refuse. Or at least hopes he can’t refuse. Because for Luffy, Sanji leaving is an unacceptable situation.

Not only will he not eat (which, god, using that against Sanji is almost too much, fuck, Luffy), but he won’t even fucking move so get your ass back here soon before I starve, Sanji.

To use the two very deeply entrenched facts about these characters this way is sure something, huh?

Sanji will feed anyone who is hungry. He cannot stand hunger, almost.

Luffy eats all the damn time and lots and never refuses food. For him to say “i’m going on a hunger strike, I’m not eating until it’s from you” IS JUST SO MUCH.

Also side note god what cruel people to laugh at Sanji’s pain as Niji and Yonji are doing.

Sanji thought he could get away with thinking he’s expendable (just like Judge has said in every time period we’ve seen him on the page) Luffy flat out rejects that. Sanji is essential, an required part of the crew and a required part of Luffy’s dream. Just like the crew have adopted his dream as a part of all of their own ultimate goals, so Luffy is saying that they are all part of his ultimate goal. He has adopted them into him becoming the Pirate King.

And goddamn if this arc isn’t about found family. The blood of the covenant is thicker, don’t cha know.

Hi Agostina, for the Wano event, i'd love a nsfw for Benn + female Reader, prompt being "Wano or Onigashima Pleasure House" ( I don' t mind Reader being an oiran or some rough -ness , if you' re confortable). Gracias cariño

Hola, preciosa! Here I am with your request! I hope you enjoy it! It's the second or third time I ever wrote for Benn so I hope you find it entertaining and accurate to his character! Thank u so much for requesting!! 💖🌸 ~

~ 🌸 Cherry Blossoms Over Wano Event 🌸 ~

NSFW~ Benn Beckman x F! Reader ~ Wano Pleasure House

tw: Reader is an Oiran. Oral, rough sex, squirting, fingering, hair pulling. Marking.

wc: 2.3K

Like this event? masterlist 🌸~

They are all saying influential pirates have arrived in Wano, yet you all know that’s probably a lie… I mean, Wano has its borders closed, plus, is actually ruled under the most powerful pirate of all, Kaido-sama. Which pirates would dare to put a foot into his land? the land of a Yonkou?

The pleasure house of The Flower Capital has been busier than ever, the celebrations of Hanami festival lure many clients from all across the country into the capital to visit the famous most exclusive brothel.

Brothel where you are the Oiran, the most beautiful and exquisite woman of all. Every time you walk through the streets in your procession, men and women sigh, some even cry for not being rich enough to pay for your services.

Fancy hairstyles with flowers and golden pins adorn your head, the finest silks cover your sacred figure, and your hands play the shamisen as a goddess of music day by day. But you were bored. Bored, sad, annoyed of this life. Fed up with dirty men with half a brain cell that would waste all of their money just to see you, not even touch you…

Your heavy hairdo is killing you; you just want to take everything off and go to sleep. Resting your elbows over the table of your dresser, you inspect your tired face’s reflection on the mirror. Sighing as a sign of total boredom a sudden idea hit your mind.

“What if tonight I take a walk to the beach?” you ask yourself, while taking the heavy jewellery off your neck. And indeed that was exactly what you did after everybody went to sleep.

Stealthily you escape your room, praying no guard would see you. Is not that you are imprisoned, but you aren’t really free either. You chose to wear a comfy and delicate kimono, nothing fancy, whatsmore it was just the clothing you use under the magnificent outfits.

Your feet hurt from the tall geta, so you pick up some zōri now. The soft material of them is a blessing to your sore feet allowing you to run through the night, hiding in the dark spots of every corner of the capital.

Soon, the ground turned into sand, and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore filled the place. The sea breeze smelled like freedom and liberty, and the sea foam lulled you to take a dip.

The kimono got all wet and see through, but you didn’t care. The refreshing salted water felt rough but blessed on your skin, as you were used to being bathed in milk and rose water to preserve the smoothness of it.

Your hair also got down, the tip of it completely soaked, and you didn’t care. You even imagine you are a mermaid, and you swim, swim free under the moonlight… until you emerge a few meters from the initial spot you were in. A big rock serves you as a holding spot. You notice how two men seem to be chatting and drinking around a bonfire. They don’t look like Kaido’s subordinates but they do look like pirates, however.

You think whether you should swim back or stay there for a little, after all you are really curious. Maybe these are the pirates people are saying have entered the country illegally, and despite you knowing you should be careful, you are sure none of them would be able to see you while you hide behind that rock.

“Oi Shanks! Cut the damn drinking, man. You are gonna pass away!” one of them, mature, long greyish hair and tall enough to be considered a threat, tells a red haired one while he drags him inside a tent.

It seems fun for you to be a little voyeuristic, and just like a mermaid stay there to see what else the grey haired man will do after carrying his friend to the tent. You take your hand to your mouth, imagining what if those are hiding because of being in love, who knows!

But there was no funny scene whatsoever and the grey haired man got out the tent lighting on a cigarette. He walked closer to the shore, looking at the moon, perhaps evaluating some life choices or just relaxing at all… but no.

“Do you need something, Ningyo? It’s weird you aren’t singing to lull me into your trap” he suddenly says, followed by a big puff of his cigarette. You widen your eyes; how does he know you are there?! it’s impossible he could have ever seen you if you were hiding…

You take your time to think what to do if swimming away or answering. And since tonight was all about breaking some rules, you decided to speak; “Uh… I’m not a mermaid. I was just swimming I’m sorry”

The man comes closer, and the shine of the moonlight shows you the husky but handsome features of his face. “Don’t worry, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you looking. Are you sure you are not a mermaid?” he asks again, smiling now, subtly.

You giggle, it’s always a good thing to be called a “Mermaid”... after all, you, an Oiran, actually had the same job as those mythical creatures; lure men to you and devour them once they have fallen into your trap.

“Actually, I work at the pleasure house” you tell him, getting out of the water and climbing the rock like an authentic siren. “My name is ____, you may know me as the Oiran of the Flower Capital” you present yourself, proud of your beauty.

“Well, I can definitely see why you are the Oiran” he says, always respectfully and not like those disgusting men you are used to. “I’m Benn, and since we are presenting ourselves, I’m a pirate and I came here to take down Kaido”.

You cover your mouth after a big gasp. Taking down Kaido sounds -and is- presumptuous but something tells you this man is at least strong. “I see… Please be careful, Sir. Kaido and his subordinates are nothing but weak!” you feel entitled, though, to warn him about that not being a game.

For a couple of minutes, maybe seconds, you two stay in silence, fixing eyes and scanning each other from head to toes. You rest sitting over the rock with your legs like mermaid, while he remains standing over the sand looking at your marvellous pose.

Suddenly, Benn decides to take his blue coat off and hand it to you. “Please, Miss. Wear this” he says. “I’m not cold” you chime, soon realizing he wasn’t offering the clothes because of the temperature, but because the transparency of your silky wet clothes offered him an image just like the Venus of Milo.

“Sir, are you perhaps aroused by my slight nudity display?” you ask, coming closer to his face. If there is nothing you learned to do with all of these years being an Oiran is to be the one who takes the lead with any man.

“In fact, Ningyo. Any man with good taste would be” he says, taking a new puff. The cherry of the cigar tints his face with a subtle red light, and the smoke he exhales surrounds you in an unspoken declaration of sexual desire.

You smirk, and because you know your worth is in gold, not silver, not platinum, you won’t give yourself so easily to him. Instead, you have better plans…

“I’m glad you are able to recognize true beauty. For the time being, this lady will have to come back to the pleasure house and have some rest. Swimming has left me exhausted; I’ll take your coat if you don’t mind” you tell him, smirking and covering yourself with it.

He smirks, too. Even if in the back of his eyes you could see how the desperation and frustration to fuck you creeps up from his crotch to his head. Benn helps you get down the rock by holding your hand, and as you finally step on the sand you walk away backwards fixing your sight on his.

Flopping into bed and drifting into a so needed reverie with the manly scent of his coat around you, feels extremely good. Who knows if you are seeing him again…?

Two days after…

“Miss Oiran. You have a client; he has paid enough…” your courtesan says from behind the folding screen that separates you from the rest of the girls of lower rank. You sigh, taking a look at the coat of that stranger folded perfectly over a chair, so sure a pirate would never pay enough for you.

You wait for your client with fine silk veils covering your face, sitting on your special spot with legs crossed and playing the shamisen to entertain your dear client. A bottle of sake next to you and two sakazukis of first-rate porcelain wait for it to be served.

The playful melody your skilful fingers play was chosen specifically by the client, “A Mermaid Under The Moon”. The sour notes of your instrument mixes with the heavy steps of black boots entering the room.

“Wonderful, Ningyo”

Slowly, your eyes, that were fixed in the ground, travel from his boots to his face… the serious countenance, the x-shaped scar on his left temple, grey hair. He is back. Benn has come to you.

“Welcome, Benn” you whisper, never stop playing the hypnotising melody. “Let me treat my client really well”.

You methodically do every single step of the special treatment to men like him. Once the music is over, on your knees you serve the alcoholic bittersweet elixir into the fine porcelain. And like a cat, you crawl up to him to sit over his lap to offer the liquid right into his mouth.

Once the first commander of the red haired pirates finishes his welcoming sake, he slowly pulls your veil back, discovering the perfect face underneath. “Like a mermaid, like a goddess” he whispers, also sliding your kimono off your shoulders and pressing a soft kiss over them.

His hands trace a path from your collar bones to your breasts, pulling down your clothes. Your nudity does not feel new to him yet makes him go to heaven to be able to touch your skin. You, you that are so willingly giving to him, for the very first time in so much time are enjoying a client.

“I kept your coat in case you wanted to come and get it” you whisper, as his tongue leaves a shiny trail on your chest. “It was you who I wanted to come and get” he says, and bites your nipple with extreme caution, but wonderful technique.

You moan, throwing your head back with open mouth, carving your red nails on him, pulling from his black shirt to take it off. And as much as he would love to keep sucking on your breasts, he wants to taste even more, so much more. Especially by the way you keep humping over his hardened crotch.

Benn pushes you against the soft floor covered in futons and various blankets. Your kimono ends roughly opened, the subtle man that until now was loving you, is now turning into a needy beast.

“Spread, please” he commands, and he doesn’t have to ask twice. Your legs open, apart and sex so juicy and ready for him to devour. His thumb goes up and down your entrance, dragging with it your arousal wetness, getting ready for the meal he is about to eat.

You squirm at the subtle touch of the tip of his tongue, making you scream shortly after by the way some sweet licking turns into killing motions on your sex. Up, down, around, sucking, even using his fingers… he is getting you ready for a climax, and so much more.

Your back curves, and your nails brush his hair back. Ecstasy hits you, making you shiver, making you tremble. Wanting to close your legs, unable to do so by how Benn got them spread as he buries his finger on your inner thighs.

“Come, my sweet mermaid” he says, while you wriggle on the ground realising, he is taking off his clothes, fast and ferally.

He turns you around, still spasming from the past orgasm, your belly hits the floor and you feel him straddling his hips over you. Benn comes closer to your ear and while you can feel his dripping, throbbing shaft being engulfed by your buttocks.

“I won’t let you rest; you know that?” “Fuck me, hard”

A hand guiding sex inside your core, the other one pulling from your hair so can breathe properly -or at least that was the intention- as he penetrates you. And inside he goes, with a deep thrust, stretching you even more, pushing your g spot as your belly is pressed against the ground by his bodyweight.

Your sex has no rest, clit grazing against some blankets under you, the endless violent pumping motion in and out only a mature man with loads of experience could give you. You moan, you whine. He grunts, husky, manly, primarily.

Benn knows you are close, so he stops for a brief second, standing slightly up and passing his arm under your lower belly. “On all fours, babe” he orders, pushing your ass up. On his knees, he penetrates you once again.

Hammering motion, tracing circles with his hips, making you suck his thumb while he does so. Finger that you got lubricated to be stuck slowly, but surely on your rear entrance, giving you that last kick to get to the final step before jumping into the void of an incredible orgasm.

The first commander of a Yonkou, snatches your arms behind the small of your back, pulling you up as he fucks you deep to make you cum, squirting climax elixir like shooting stars bathing a night sky. He follows, turning you around quickly to bathe your chest with his warm release.

Never ending orgasms during the whole night, a sinful poem written in ecstasy… Did he get his blue coat back? ~

A Stupidly Long Critique of Saiki K: Reawakened

A Fuckton Of Spoilers Ahead

So I went and watched the new season/continuation of Saiki K today on Netflix and.

Boy, do I have some words.

Spoilers under the cut!

Alright. So as I’ve said, today, (Dec 30th) Netflix decided to rip The Disastrous Life Of Saiki K out of Funimation’s hands and make their own continuation- Saiki K Reawakened. A 6 episode continuation and ending to our beloved show, that’s been hyped up for weeks now.

..Except, it doesn’t really feel that way.

The first episode, (Three Men, A Little Girl, A Police Officer, And A Dog) first of all struck me with this- they no longer had opening/ending theme songs. I posted about it earlier but this made me really upset. The op/ed songs are one of my favorite parts of the anime. Youth Isn’t So Cruel is a beautiful song, The Most Favorable! is hyper active and just a fun listen, Silent Prisoner is bad ass, and Put Your Hands Up always put a smile on my face, and that’s just the opening. But Netflix decided to take away the songs and it’s upsetting. I would’ve been happy even if they just re-used an old opening, because I was expecting something and it was really disappointing.

The episode itself was a bit upsetting itself. I like watch things in order, but the chapter this episode is based off of is literally like the 10th chapter of the manga. I can’t find the exact one at the moment but I remember it was early on (hence, Nendo and Kaido arguing about which one of them is Saiki’s friend and such.) Even then- I went in expecting 6 episodes about his powers reawakening, not “Here’s 5 episodes of chapters we skipped and then we’re gonna mention the powers being reawakened.”

That’s probably one of my biggest problems with Reawakened. It’s just makeup work.

I think it would’ve been better if they put these episodes either in the places they belong or in the Season 3 category under the original show. They didn’t deserve all this hype for filler.

Another thing I missed was that usually, after the ending song in every episode, there’d be a small narration by Saiki of what would come next week. Those were also super funny and I missed that. I feel like Reawakened was a bad fanfiction Netflix wrote which just killed the original work. I thought Reawakened was gonna be a bad ass, slow escalation of Saiki’s powers cranking themselves back up to what they were before the ending of Season 2. And it kind of disappointed.

That isn’t to say Reawakened didn’t have it’s few funny moments. I think the “useless powers” bit actually made me pee a bit.

But it was only of a few. Most moments felt out of character, or out of place, and the bit with the whole “teacher with a 10-year-anniversary-Jump’ was excruciating to sit through. I did like Saiki’s little smile at the end though. It felt like Saiki’s few expressions that make my heart scream ‘uwu’ were the one thing keeping me watching the show.

In Episode 3, (New Teacher with an Outstanding Feature), I personally felt like Iguchi’s existence was a dead horse they kept beating with a stick every time they called him a pervert. He just genuinely made me uncomfortable and felt like a bad forced joke.

On the contrary, Hii felt like a great addition. I think they should’ve added her in the original two seasons in the first place, where she was supposed to be. I didn’t know till the other day that she came in way earlier. She’s a lovable unlucky klutz and she produced some genuinely funny moments. (Though, that whole ‘what happened last time’ bit kinda hurt my soul.) Episode 4 was one of my favorites just because of her. It felt like she brung back what Netflix stripped away from the original anime.

Before I get to the big money maker, episode 6- I have to point out the elephant in the room.

The fucking English dub.

I figured out that I could turn it on at some point during the episode with the useless abilities so I turned it on. I had heard the trailer with Saiki’s..new VA… but I figured he’d grow on me along with the rest of the cast.

Oh my god I was so wrong.

All I heard was Kuniharu’s and Saiki’s voice and genuinely, I nearly threw up. I’ve never had such an urge to slam my head into a brick wall until I heard the voices. I can’t even say much else because I didn’t and still do not have the willpower to sit through the English dub. It’s just.. so.. bad. I can’t stand it. I know that we can’t have the original English cast back because Funimation copyright yadda yadda I get it. But good lord. I can’t stand Saiki’s voice actor. The sarcasm sounds forced, the pauses are uncomfortable, and it just..hurts. The original one felt fluent, and just organic. The English dub made me, in short, want to blow my brains out.

That aside- episode 6. Saiki Kusuo gets his motha’ fuckin powers back.

I had my hopes low when I started this episode out of fear since some of the others literally just made me want to gag myself.

But episode 6… (muwah.) A masterpiece. No anime is perfect but oh my god.

I loved how Saiki kept forgetting he couldn’t use his powers. Call it weird but the way he’s kind of a tsundere in the sense of lying to himself that he doesn’t like any of this and would be much better off without them is one of my favorite things. And it’s even better when he runs out of lies and has to face it. And even then- as his powers slowly integrate back, I about died. It was so funny, with Tortisuka holding his shoulder when he went invisible and Saiki using that as a way out of it, or hearing others thoughts and thinking of it as an auditory hallucination. I didn’t like how the thoughts sounded distant and kind of echo-ey compared to when they were easy to hear before, but that might just be me.

Also? This scene right here? Where all of his friends protect him and he’s upset because he had to be protected? I started bawling. Maybe it’s because Aunt Flo’s in town and I have an unhealthy emotional attachment to Saiki, but it just hurt so bad watching him upset like that. And on a personal level, I felt where he was coming from. I don’t cry much at movies or TV or anime but good grief, I was crying in the club.

The whole meteorite heading to destroy Japan had me in a bit of shock. I saw the cryptic advertisements hyping Reawakened but I almost forgot about them and even then a meteorite didn’t seem dire until it seemed like Saiki had no say in anything.

As the climax builds and Saiki hears his friends panic-

-also featuring the best line uttered by Akechi ever- but even as Saiko says “I need to get my friends to the bunker aswell!” (which, holy shit, I didn’t care for Saiko but that got me to tear up?) I was losing my mind. After so much disappointment and just agony from this continuation- this had to be the best scene there. It’s hard to describe. It’s just so much emotion.

And then it happens.

The ever tsundere-lying-to-himself Kusuo accepts that he’s a psychic who doesn’t mind his disastrous friends sometimes. What a way to end the anime. Call it a cliche beginning-is-the-end but I’ve never been happier to hear those Japanese words. I’ve never loved an ending so much. It emotionally hurt and was hell, but I loved it. This has been my stupidly long criticism of Reawakened!

So, tl;dr, Reawakened had it’s hard weak points but I’ll be damned if I didn’t love the ending. We love my favorite boyo, Saiki Kusuo. Also I’d die for Hii. Goodnight.

edit: recently i noticed that Saiki's eyes compared to everyone elses doesnt have detail (no pupil/shine etc) except for that epic ending scene with Saiki and I jsut- HOLY FUCK here's a gifnthat kinda shows my point- his eyes transition from normal to detailed

#Saiki kusuo #saiki k reawakened #saiki kusuo no psi nan #saiki k #critisism #i dont know how this got so long

Straw Hat Pirates Rap Cypher by Rustage

Never really seen One Piece, but this alone kinda makes me want to dive in.

Lyrics under the cut

Monkey D. Luffy (Performed by Rustage)

Straight out the

East Blue, call me Luffy, I’m a beast too

Anybody you speak to will tell you what I’ve been through

I’m as fast as a pistol, blastin you suckers

I reckon that now I’m steppin up, gettin rough gear second

I’m the captain

Activating Haki, I’m cracking knuckles, attacking so buckle up if you’re lacking

Watch my bounty as it’s racking up

You ain’t ever stacking up

I will fucking end you if you ever hurt my Nakama

It doesn’t matter if you’re navy,

you’re crazy to face me

The aura of a conqueror, even Kaido is shaky

I’m breaking in

cause I’m made to win

I may be rubber, but you’ll need protection from this pirate king

Roronoa Zoro (Performed by None Like Joshua)

Yo it’s Roronoa Zoro, yeah my swords overkill

With a blade in my mouth, so my word flow spills

more blood from a pirate, marine, or fishman with gills

I’ll cut your verse in half

Mihawk givin me the skills

Scars all on my body?

But I’ll leave one on your brain

Just ask Kuma when I took in all of Luffy’s pain

I don’t need a Devil Fruit if you want to see my strength

Hard work, yeah I trained to take Pica to the grave

Slicing back and forth

you know I got a stick for playing Haki

with my Wado Ichimonji

While Sanji sponsored by Nike

Lost my left eye from the waterfalls I chased, but you forgot me?

I’m the greatest swordsman

even after my days I’ll be there on top

while I sleep

Nami (Performed by Savvy Hyuga)

Third memeber of the Straw Hats, but call me Nami

Luffy set me free now I’m navigating him to the One Piece

No need to judge me, it’s just a little pickpocketing

But let me give you a lesson here on some chemistry

Usin’ gusts to make you fall back

Do you want a taste of my staff before you see the lightning flash

n’ hear the thunder crash from my climatact

leave you shakin’ from my thunder lance, can you dodge a weather based attack?

Go ahead and come at me, I’ll watch you pass through

Tell me which tempo that you want me to use

So many combinations, I don’t know which one to choose

Let’s get this over with so I can collect all your revenue

Usopp (Performed by Nux Taku)

Now you’re messing with a veteran

I’m better than anybody

I got an army, crushing all your skeletons

I head up into battle, leave you rattled with my squad

Pray to me, a deity, a sniper

God (Ay)

I’m a sharpshooter so I can’t miss (Ay)

Over longer distance with advantage (Ay)

Got the craftsmanship that is demanded (Woo!)

Your small IQ won’t even understand it

They say I’m lying, but honestly it’s all trickery

Literally, I’m just carrying this crew with my abilities

Hitting me? It’s unlikely.

Come on try to fight me

May have had my issues but I’ve put all that behind me

Sanji (Performed by Eddie Rath)

It all started on a ship in the North Blue

A protégé to the Zeff, what a cool dude

Cut off his leg tryna save and preserve food

Suddenly now you got a friend to preserve you

We all tried to survive from the violence

as we march in an army of pirates

The ocean is a grave full of silence

Enemies wonder, where the time went

I remember I was nothing but a thin joke

My calves on fire, get your face broke

As you sleeping the chef will remain woke

They want beef but they don’t want the Vinsmoke

Tony Tony Chopper (Performed by GameboyJones)

Everybody get to the Chopper

If you got a bounty on your head, Imma pop ya

Girlies think I’m cute

‘Bout to make it reindeer

All about the money, so the enemies should stay clear

Now I joined in with this great little group of pirates

Don’t mess with the squad or we will get violent

Isn’t it ironic I bring pain as the doctor

I could save your life when I drop ya

Now, watch your tone with Tony

or I’ll fold you phonies

Every line’s ginuwine like I rode the pony

and you acting folly

when you saying we don’t run streets

Straw Hat crew and we coming for that One Piece

Nico Robin (Performed by DaisyBanaisy)

Last survivor of my home town

Persecuted for my knowledge

so I’m on my own now

We about to go down,

chilling with tea or we get wild

The name is Nico Robin and I am the Devil Child

Crew archaeologist, information I’m logging it

I got in with the Straw Hats, now I’m reading Poneglyphs

Haven’t you forgotten this girl is straight power

See my hands sprouting and blossom like a flower

Intelligence is unmatched

Show me where the fun’s at

Coming in clutch with these hands growing out ya back

Enies Lobby finding out I have more to give

My crew by my side, so you know that I want to live!

Franky (Performed by Dreaded Yasuke)

Here comes the tank worth 94 bills

Can adapt to any environment like Bear Grylls

Biased when it comes to the Straw Hats, they can chill

Applying a pressure on your endeavors whenever it gets real

That’s the best that you got, probably need to drop

Modifications from my cannon take off a mountain top

My Franky Radical Beam shooting just like a stream,

whizzing right by your head to mess with your self-esteem

Better start counting your bread when you see my team,

accumulating lot of cred gonna need the marines

If you ain’t got the berries get off the Thousand Sunny,

playing like it’s imaginary and get the real Cutty

Brook (Performed by Connor Rapper)

The musician of the Straw Hats

Munificent? Of course, that’s a given

My dynamic riffs are gift-wrapped in ribbon

Every hit exact and honed, like my slashes and my blows

Every note composed appropriately, rhythm’s in my bones

The devil in I is why I never did die

I was revived with twice the undeniable splendour

If stealing the show was seen as a crime then I’m a prime offender

My attacks are so precise although I lack sight receptors

Picked off one by one when I strum with a boney thumb

those opponents with loaded guns are too slow for my frozen lunge

On that boat got pretty lonely wrote odes to my blubbery chum

Though the ocean temp was low I felt so comfortably numb

Jinbei (Performed by DizzyEight)

It’s Jinbei the sensei with my fist I’m ruthless

One swing will leave you stretched out like you’re Luffy,

that’s one piece, but you can get two if you don’t want peace

I’m a fish man, but it’s my hook that make em sleep

You don’t wanna spar, you don’t want the fade

He claim he got heart so I double tap his face

If I gotta go to war I just do it for a change

I live the way I’m living for my brother in the grave

It’s the Straw Hats, I roll with a clique full of warriors

This is not a game, we are not the ones to toy with

All about peace, but if you push us we destroy ya

Big man, but the move smooth like the water

One Piece Chapter 1042 - Initial Thoughts

Oh lordy, it's heating up

Last week we set up the stage for Luffy and Kaido to have the floor, but now we'll see what that entails

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release

Starting with the cover story and the Vinsmokes are being taken to WCI, Oven seems to be suspicious of Pudding though, also confirmation that Brulee is still there

Starting off wild with Drake running a sword through White-Eye!

White Eye is definitely hurt, but after a nod of respect he Soru's out of stabbing and then Shigan's Drake in the throat!

Given how Apoo survived I'm hoping Drake does, I mean White Eye has a hole in his chest so anything is possible

Back down at the still unaware Flower Capital it's time to light the lanterns, we'll have to see how this comes around

Because next is the Roof, Luffy's Hydra is smacking Kaido around despite his attempts to block

Interesting tidbit in saying 'Rubber is not meant to do this' is Oda hinting that Luffy's fruit isn't actually rubber? I kinda hope not because he will have to then re-explain why Luffy is immune to lightning

Our latest comical drunk face for Kaido is Flirty Drunk, much to Luffy's ire

But Kaido has futuresight too, and thus dodges and turns back into a dragon, this is the 'Thieving Drunk Phase'

Then Kaido just ups and eats Luffy

Then spits him out with a deadly Blast Breath, sending Luffy through the holes of Onigashima

Luffy though doesn't crash out, he switches to Bound Man to get back up

Luffy continues to push on to help Wano, but Kaido wants to hear none of it, stating that the people of Wano are born to lose, since they're either too passive or too willing to die (bit close to the truth of the world there what with Russia and Ukraine right now...)

Despite Luffy refuting that they're strong, Kaido maintains that you're either a winner or a loser, since winners don't need excuses

But Luffy smacks him hard with a Supreme Kong Gun, basically a Conqueror's Coating one

But Kaido hits back with a Roaring Thunder Bagua!

The air is leaving Luffy, but he stops it from deflating, Kaido's going crazy and pig-nosed though in his Homicidal Drunk Phase

Luffy decides to meet a final blow once more, Supreme Kong Gun vs Roaring Thunder Bagua

But then White Eye traps Luffy's punching arm right at the clash, causing a distracted Luffy to eat that Thunder Bagua

Flashes of Oden's defeat run through Kaido, another battle tainted by outside interference

White Eye isn't too happy about it either, this is very very bad for him too after all

I'm angry and in denial, but in a good and entertained way

Obviously, I'm angry that the fight was interfered with, White-Eye was very reluctant to do it since he knows he has to bolt as fast as he can outta there, coming off the back of a lot of action this was a frustrating rug pull, Kaido may feel angry too at this especially over his rationale of winners and losers, but I doubt he will be as honourable as Katakuri and weaken himself for the fight (and he shouldn't lest the battle get a little too similar). Oda clearly heard the CP0 clowning though and made White-Eye tank impalement by Drake just to stab him back, climb the entire vertical height of the dome and then hold back a Gear Fourth Luffy, it's interesting though how he said he envied Drake, as if he wished he could follow his own sense of justice rather than the WG's.

But I'm also in denial, because I still can't shake that Luffy is gonna get back up. We don't see him deflate and even if he does I doubt he'd still stop fighting as futile as it may be. People have been wanting ghosts to show up because of the fire lanterns, but what if they simply compel Luffy to push forward the same way Usopp compelled Luffy to continue against Lucci?

On top of this I'd love it if White-Eye's interference actually leads to a worst case scenario for the WG, in that making Luffy unable to use Haki or Gear Fourth despite already straining to keep it all in leads to his Awakening

I doubt we can hold out this battle until 1050, so I'd guess Wano ends at 1050 instead, maybe 1045 the fight could conclude, but for now we'll have to wait
