Can I request a One Piece Whitebeard Pirates x Giyuu Tomioka!Reader? Like, maybe the Reader is also a Divison Commander? And like Giyuu very much, has the basically the same personality as him. And the Time Like could be when Ace first Joins, basically when the Whitebeard Pirates defeat Ace and his Crew and Kidnaps them basically and brings them on the Moby Dick?
-You fit in nicely with the other oddballs in Whitebeard’s crew, you thought they were all weirdos, but they all thought the same of you.
-You were quiet, compared to many of them, but you were very strong, your skills with your sword and command over water made you a very dangerous opponent on a pirate ship.
-You thought that you were normal, not believing the words of encouragement from the other members of your crew who all praised your skills.
-It was strange, it was like you didn’t believe in yourself, because you felt like a thief.
-You opened up to them, after watching Ace get his ass beat again, as you were commenting on his drive and determination, as it reminded you of your childhood friend.
-They learned that both he and your sister were brutally murdered by a cruel person with a demonic like Devil Fruit, and Sabito had been training to be taken as an apprentice of a powerful swordsman, your master.
-You confided in your crew that Sabito was so much better than you were, he would have been more worthy of being trained, and how you had wished that it was you that died so he could have lived on; because when he died, your master took you as his apprentice instead and trained you.
-You felt like a fraud, like you were living a lie, as becoming the warrior you are now was not yours, it was Sabito’s. And with your imposter syndrome, you believed they all didn’t like you as a person, they only cared about your skills, which did cause several fights and a lot of yelling as they all denied it, trying to make you see that they were being honest with you.
-Whitebeard could see your viewpoints, as you felt guilty that you were the only one that survived, and you coped by blaming yourself, putting yourself down.
-Ace was the one that actually helped you the most, by punching you on the top of your head, “You IDIOT!!” the others were all scared, but when Whitebeard didn’t react from Ace attacking you, they didn’t either as Ace shouted at you.
-You took his anger, his rage, but you were shocked by his words, “They wouldn’t want you moping around and feeling bad about yourself! They would want you to live!!” his words made you think that he had lost someone too, something you learned much later, after the two of you became close friends, as he told you about Sabo.
-Whitebeard was appreciative of Ace getting you out of your funk, and with it, your power only grew, as they had seen in several battles, that you were so much more powerful, and you looked like you were having fun.
-Whitebeard ruffled your hair roughly, doting on you, telling you that it was a good thing that Ace knocked some sense into you, and you had to agree with them, even though it hurt.

Random little One piece modern AU thoughts and I guess scenes I had about mainly Luffy
1. Luffy is the best guy to take to karaoke. While he isn’t the best singer he’s also not the worst. However he sings with his whole chest and heart and will sing duets with anyone no matter how lovey or metal. His energy always brought everyone out of their shells he just has a bad habit of singing when it’s not his turn
2. I feel like in a modern AU Luffy would still be friends with a lot of the people he met in series just under different conditions. Like water 7 instead of the mayor almost being assassinated he just. Met him. Like on good terms. idk, maybe Luffy saved tyrannosaurus and now they just exchange animals pics and the occasional “hey I’m heading to insert place where should I go to eat” and Luffy just introduces the Baratie with no heads up to Zeff and Sanji and when Sanji spams the group chat freaking out he just says you’re welcome :D
3. Luffy keeps the contacts of everyone he’s met and keep them under their nicknames. Monster granny, hammock, split head ect. It’s the only way he can remember them after all. When nami had gotten nosy and decided to go through his contacts she obviously asked who tf ice pops was. Imagine her surprise when Luffy confidently answers that it’s the mayor from a few towns over.
4. In a modern AU the ASL brothers were totally still bush kids. Like. Dadan’s (probably community house) was right by the woods and they would have a similar childhood to canon with less killing wild animals. But they also a thousand fucking percent had a Nintendo Wii. Like Ace and Sabo fought tooth and NAIL for player one and Luffy was banished to player three with the dingiest controller known to man (not even the safety strap could protect that thing from getting tossed at the tv) And speaking from my own experience as a younger sibling Ace totally spent a whole summer trying to unlock every character in Mario kart.
5. Law met the straw hats in collage at 2 am when they got kicked out of a bar and he was trying to mind his own business. While they saw him in their intoxicated state and said “you’re my friend now :)” Law was genuinely worried half of them had alcohol poisoning. An hour later he found himself in one of their apartments two of them passed out. One of them throwing up. All while he makes a grilled cheese for Luffy, the so called infamous man on campus who is crying sitting on the floor cause he’s starving. Law stayed the night to make sure none of them drowned in their own vomit and like imprinted baby ducks they have not left him alone since.
6. Luffy has been going to riots and movements for years. He started going with Sabo and Ace growing up when they were teenagers and hasn’t stopped. He also never thought to mention it to any of his friends until they saw him on the news at a protest absolutely fucking SENDING a tear gas canister back at the cops
7. I kinda wanna believe while devil fruits don’t exist in modern AU the character still has quirks semi related to their fruit. Like Robin is just, double jointed everywhere and could bend her arms and fingers in all the worst ways. Luffy can either contort his body to hide in tiny places OR he has stretchy skin. It’s nothing more then party tricks but it is cool
8. Luffy was definitely a gymnastics kid. Not in like. The competing sense. But in like the, one of the adults in his life would drop him off there twice a week for an hour. Did he participate with the other children and learn how to roll? NO! He was flinging himself full speed into giant foam mats and climbing rock walls without a harness. He was a menace to society and he was only taken to blow off some energy and it WORKED. Until he was kicked out.

hi! can you do headcanons for Ace with a s/o that is a scientist? and like she just loves expirements n stuff? also she’s a whitebeard pirate right? so she’s actively trying to figure a way to make devil fruit users immune to kairoseki
(can this be au where ace lives please?)
My first request!! :3 soooo excited thank you for sending this in anon, It's such a cute concept!! I hope I did it justice, been thinking abt this all day ugh he's such a cutie!! I'd love to write more abt this :3 Ace brain rot continues!!
When Ace joined the Whitebeard pirates he was often told stories of a crazy scientist who was always causing havoc on the Moby Dick.
Their first meeting he was awoken by some foul smell seeping into his senses and was face to face with a grinning girl. 
The two grew close super fast due to Ace’s ability to cause trouble and land himself in the infirmary (which just so happens to be next to her little lab set up).
Both being trouble makers they bonded in pranks
She often dragged Ace into experiments, of course Ace would never say no to her. 
Getting together for them was inevitable, none of the Whitebeards were surprised. Infact Thatch even had a bet with some others on how long it would take!
She brought up her dream of being useful to the Whitebeards by nullifying the effects seastone prism would have on a devil fruit user a little bit after they started dating.
Ace understands completely where she’s coming from, she wants no harm done to anyone she loves.
Ace is always the first one to step up and volunteer for her crazy ideas
He always promises whatever she does to him would never hurt and makes sure to give her plenty of reassurance throughout.
He often gets caught staring at you while you geek out about some fancy new science fact and he is oh so in love with everything you do.
He may not look like he’s listening but trust him when he picks up on all the little things like how you really like the Nelumbo Nucifera or some of your more morbid facts like how easy it is to rip out a throat….
He also loves how eager you are to teach him all the fire facts you can find through your secret experiments!!!
When Ace is captured she can’t help but feel at fault that she was unable to finish her research for immunity to sea prism stone.
She is stressed the entire time constantly holed up in the lab, staying up day and night looking for anything to help nullify seastone.
She thinks she might’ve found something!
Marco, about to be bound by seastone prisms, flinches at the idea of the effect stopping him from saving Ace 
But the drowsiness never comes and the effects are super light, nearly nonexistent. She figured something out!
With Marco’s newfound immunity he’s able to help Ace escape.
Ace couldn’t be more proud when he recovers and find out all your hard work over the last few years has finally amounted to something.
He commends you, science is a long process of trial and error but you never gave up.
“I’m sorry I was too late to prevent your capture, it must’ve been hard” she would say while holding him close to her heart.
Oh how he’s so in love with you.

So like
Do you think Marco has a somewhat cool fire?
Cause the blue but also it’s like a healing fire so it being hot doesn’t make a lot of sense to me
I can see it being warmer if he gets worked up maybe?
My main thought behind this is I wonder what the difference in touch would feel like between Marco and Ace (or alternatively, between Marco and Sabo >>)
I’m going to continue thinking about it while I scrub floors at work but I wondered if you had put any thought into it at any point 🤔
Canonically I believe that Marco's flames cannot ignite anything or anyone. As phoenix fire they just don't work that way.
His devil fruit, aside from being immensely powerful defensively especially for him, isn't all that offensive. Most of Marco's power comes from combining his forms and moves with haki - none of his attacks are piercing or slashing, despite the claws, and he's never set his enemies on fire, only his allies.
I think his fire is warm in the same way a hug or a hand on your shoulder can be warm.
Ace, and eventually Sabo, run hot for normal body temperatures because of the Mera Mera no Mi (if they contract the flu the run so hot it's hard to actually touch them)- though I think Ace was one of those kinds of people who ran a little hot as a general rule. Not because of his personality or anything, I just think is base body temp was 1-2 or higher than Luffy and Sabo's.
I can Marco having a kind of... cool touch? I imagine Law's touch being a little on the cooler side too, but with Marco it's almost shocking because, as a phoenix, you kind of expect him to run hot like Ace.
Or at least warm.
And he warms up well, most certainly, but I think his body temp just regulates a little on the lower end.
(I didn't mean to give two doctors the same touch vibe, but I feel that way for both of them for different reasons. In Marco's case I just think it's because he's had the fruit for so long that it's been a very slight side effect. For Law it's just because he's very ice coded to me, compared to Kid who is elementally his opposite (two sides of a coin those two, in their designs and vibes)).

One Piece Spoilers 1081
Ok so like I KNEW that Law was not gonna win against Blackbeard. And it’s not because I don’t think he is strong enough. For me it is strictly for plot’s sake that he did not win.
Blackbeard is ultimately the Big Bad for Luffy. He has directly affected Luffy’s life by causing Ace’s death. Not to mention the way both Luffy and Blackbeard originally met like… we all know that it HAS to be Luffy to defeat him because that is the way Oda has framed it.
So Oda is not gonna let Law win against BB because that is not his role in the plot and it wouldn’t make sense. We all know that Luffy has to be the one to defeat the Big Bads wether it is Arlong, Doflamingo, or Kaido, Luffy has to be the one to finish them because he is ✨the protagonist✨. Oda didn’t even let Law finish off Doflamingo who had more of an impact on Law’s life and who Law was ACTIVELY trying to take down. So what makes you think he would let Law defeat Blackbeard who has more of an impact on Luffy than anyone else?
So yeah I knew Law would lose.
But MAN was I not completely hurt by this chapter!
Like the way Law was drawn and just the fact that on top of being defeated, he doesn’t know if his crew, HIS FAMILY, is even still alive; his ship is DESTROYED; and he lost his hat which we know is very important to him.
I am only thankful that BB did not kill him nor did he take his devil fruit because I was STRESSED that THAT would happen.
But I know law is suffering and I am suffering with him because it is just not fair! Like give this man a break! And the crazy thing is is that he was not even LOOKING for a fight!! Blackbeard came to HIM!
But I am trying to put a positive spin on this so like you know how on Sabaody, Luffy and the gang got defeated by Kuma and scattered around?
I am choosing to see Law’s defeat by Blackbeard as such.
So hopefully his crew is still alive and they can regroup and glow up.
But MAN someone needs to kill that motherfucker Blackbeard because I am SICK of that dude!

Hi just wanted to say ignore the haters there acting like d.cks, I find your ocs really interesting. What inspired you to create them ? I like Arabella sounds she sounds really cute I wonder how does her devil fruit work ?
Oakleigh already deserves a hug for having to deal with Judge ( aww Sora x Zeff~) , I wonder what made him love her ? If there do have kids would there like Sanji sibling ?
I already like Lyra already XD I wonder has Lyric ever tried to convince the Blackbeard pirates to show mercy or has she failed ? How do Lyra and Lyric react each other situation with one being pregnant and the other got a lot of husbands ?
I feel like Harmony and Apoo music playlist has some songs from the book of life film (Heaven knows your name , I’ve been praying🎶 For an example)
Aww hope we get more moments with Mabelle acting like a mother figure to Luffy and Uta 🥺
I really like all your ocs , I wonder will we see more of them in the future or maybe see new ocs ~
Hey there, friend! Thanks for sending in this ask about my OC’s as it makes me really happy to talk about them like it always puts a smile on my face! Unless it’s an angst scenario of course in which case I usually just cry…
But hey! Nothing wrong with crying especially if it makes you feel better afterwards! It’s always just good to have a good cry sometimes!
Anyways…
!-MINORS DO NOT INTERACT FOR ANY REASON-!
!-POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNINGS-!
OC x Canon, Image of a Syringe, Images of a Hospital, X-Ray Imagery, Horror Images, Stalking, Kidnapping, Forced Marriage, Pregnancy, Death of a Loved One
!-POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNINGS-!
!-MINORS DO NOT INTERACT FOR ANY REASON-!
So what inspires me to make these characters is personally private information that I will only disclose to friends as I don’t feel comfortable telling people what inspires me to create these characters but I can tell you the process of how I make them
So the idea for the character hits me in one of two ways and it’s through getting lost in my thoughts or thinking about random topics while I’m in the shower
I do some working, run it by another friend of mine whose more knowledgeable about One Piece then I am to see if it makes sense in terms of the OP world, design them in Gacha Club once I have an idea of what I want the character to look like, make jokes that give way to new character traits and development, read through a long list of names to pick one out, and boom! There’s a new character!
All in all though, I have about 20+ OC’s who are meant for being shipped with canon characters with the most recent one being an unnamed one that I have named Goth Bunny who is the S/O of Penguin and Shachi while one that I still need to design is one named Ember who doesn’t have anything going for her other than that she’s Ace and Sabo’s S/O and I wanna make her be related to water in some way
Anywho, I actually do have some Aesthetic Boards for these characters too which I will include after I have finished answering your questions!
Arabella was actually my first OC x Canon and believe it or not, she didn’t actually start off as a writer or even a One Piece character as she was just a woman that I designed one day and after I didn’t like how the Admirals original wife turned out, Arabella stepped up to the plate after a dumb scenario that I had a long time ago where her Devil Fruit went out of control and she started Godzilla Rampaging only for the Admirals to be dispatched to deal with her and them seeing that she’s just a normal lady when they knock her unconscious and she reverts back to normal
As for how her Devil Fruit works, Arabella’s Devil Fruit causes her to constantly have horns on the sides of her head, eyes that resemble that of a goats, and the tendency to grow wool around her neck like a scarf. Other than that, it acts like a typical Zoan Devil Fruit would.
Not too much special about it in all honesty besides the fact that she can have those parts even as a fully fledged human and the fact that she has a much stronger skull that’s meant for ramming into things
Oh! And she actually does have a Dad whose a canon character as well and if you’re familiar with One Piece Film Z then it’s actually Z himself, he had her with his wife when he was younger so the age difference between her and the Admirals isn’t too egregious
They actually didn’t know that her Dad was Z too until much later in life as they always assumed that she was another trainee until they married her and got her pregnant only for Z to come crashing through the entirety of Marineford by himself to fuck up the people that dared to knock up his daughter
Also if you’re wondering why Arabella didn’t invite him to her wedding, it was because she had lost contact with him a year after he had formed the Neo-Marines to the point where neither had any clue on how to contact the other
They had only just figured out how to talk to each other again when Z found out that she was pregnant and went on a Godzilla Style Rampage through Marineford sending Marines flying everywhere that he went
Z did eventually calm down and talked with Arabella for a long time before the two of them exchanged contact information and parted ways with Z promising to teach her Haki after she gives birth so she can properly get revenge on Kizaru if he starts being very, very annoying
I also did give Arabella a body type shape so if she did have a body type shape then it would actually be a Strawberry and Arabella prefers to walk with her hands clasped in front of her
Tumblr media
—————————————
Yeah, I’m not gonna lie when I say that sometimes I feel sorry for Oakleigh as well especially considering that she’s married to Judge
What caused Judge to love Oakleigh wasn’t anything on her part as she wasn’t trying to make him fall in love with her, she was just trying to make sure that the King didn’t die from sadness by giving him the best therapy that she could about every week
It was all just talking about how Sora leaving him for a cook out in the East Blue was making him feel and things that he could potentially do in order to feel better that wasn’t stalking her or attempting to make plans to get her back
Things were going quite well but way back when Judge initially woke up after losing consciousness, he did mistake Oakleigh for Sora because he had never met her before and she looked somewhat close to her but turns out that it was just Oakleigh
During the therapy sessions, he started thinking about things more and more until he finally decided on something that could really truly help him which was to get down on one knee in front of her and propose to her, she did try to refuse at first but it’s Judge so he forced her to marry him
She was a bit of a replacement for Sora but don’t get Judge wrong as he does know that Oakleigh is not Sora to an extent but he’s lonely and misses his ex and Oakleigh looks like his ex so… That’s kind of how he wound up falling for her, it’s the fact that she looks like Sora and she was so kind to him…
There are scenarios actually where Zeff and Sora meet Oakleigh like a while after they get married because Sora and Judge agreed to visitation with the kids like one week with Sora then one week with Judge but Sanji never goes to Judge’s
Anyways I’m getting off topic but when they meet Oakleigh, sometimes they decide that they like her too and want to be able to marry her as well because she’s cute, she’s great with the kids especially Sanji, she’s caring, and she’s a fairly good cook on top of that
Oakleigh really can’t catch a break especially as I have a small headcanon that Sora is rather possessive like not to the level of a full blown Yandere but close so imagine walking in on your forced husband and his ex discussing how they want to split time with you
To answer your question about the children, it’s likely that if Oakleigh ever fell pregnant then I think that Judge might try to see if the kids belong to him or Zeff as if they’re Zeff’s then he’s going to let them be Zeff’s problem but if they belong to him then those babies will definitely turn out like Sanji’s brothers
However I can also see Judge being an incredibly overprotective partner when Oakleigh is pregnant as although he did let the same thing that Sora went through happen to Oakleigh, he’s overprotective in other ways
To give you an example, Oakleigh will be walking calmly along then turn around. There’s a soldier following her. She continues on her walk and turns around again. Now there’s two and this continues until she has like ten soldiers following her all trying to be inconspicuous but failing really badly
Also just like Arabella, she actually did have a previous concept that I’ve completely dropped for her in favor of her current one. Her original one that she was actually a creature that liked to make people fall in love with her so she could eat their love then leave them heartbroken but couldn’t leave because Judge wouldn’t let her and she could never get close enough or be alone long enough to eat his love but I dropped that in favor of her current self
Tumblr media
——————————-
Lyra was actually a character that I completely pulled out of my ass when I first made her up as I had no inspiration for her and came up with it while I was designing her as she was an investigative reporter seeking out the truth behind recent disappearances only to be led to Thriller Bark. She eventually did evolve into a Mortician after I watched the Mortuary Assistant
Lyric also was different too as Lyra and her weren’t even related at first and originally Lyric was based off of the game Changed where she had this bag of bottled liquid that when poured on her would turn her into an animal/human hybrid that could help out with things but she could also only be turned back by sea water as it would wash off the liquid that turned her but I dropped that as it didn’t feel like it quite made sense with the One Piece world and eventually she became an Acrobat
To answer your question about if Lyric has ever been able to stop them from doing bad things, she can if it’s something small but these people burnt her circus to the ground leaving her as seemingly the only survivor just because she didn’t want to go with them so there’s not much that she can convince them to not do
Lyric is very strong and somewhat intimidating for a lot of them but at the end of the day, they’re much stronger than her and if she puts up too much of a fight then they can’t easily just lock her up until it’s over
To give you an example of things that she has been able to talk them out of versus things that she hasn’t. She has been able to talk them out of just killing one random person who insulted them, she can’t talk them out of pillaging an island
As for the showing mercy part, she might be able to depending on the situation but no matter what it is. If they’ve already started doing it then it’s very unlikely that she’ll be able to convince them and if she does then Teach usually makes her give them something in return like pleasing them in some way
And although Lyric does hate doing it, she tries not to care too much as long as they keep their end of the deal on showing mercy and she doesn’t wind up pregnant as although she loves kids, she doesn’t want to have any with them as at the end of the day, she is a prisoner
If Lyra and Lyric were to meet after Shiryu takes Absalom’s Devil Fruit then the two of them would talk for a bit, they’d be happy to see each other at first but then Lyra would reveal that she’s a single parent now
Lyric would feel so sorry for her and eventually when she gets details about Lyra’s ex-husband, she’s pissed as she’d excuse herself. Go straight to the Blackbeard Pirates with her head hung low, they’d try to ask what’s wrong with her but proceed to her calling everyone to one room and going on such a long rant about what they did that they’re all sitting on their knees in front of her
Don't try to stop her either as Teach tried to and she’s now holding him tightly by his ear basically turning him into her bitch for as long as she’s on this rant
Eventually though she’ll chill and it’s after Lyra came to find her when Lyric was gone too long, Lyra followed the shouting and found her chewing out the Blackbeard Pirates
They all expected Lyra to get it too but plot twist when Lyric let’s go and gets down onto her hands and knees in front of Lyra to beg for the woman’s forgiveness in what happened to Absalom
Lyra would be pissed and would show that rage strength isn’t just something that Lyric has as Lyra goes right up to Shiryu and beats him so bad that he’s in the hospital for like two days, she just didn’t kill him because she isn’t a murderer
Lyric would do her best to comfort Lyra after that but as for how Lyra would react to Lyric’s new life as the crew wife of the Blackbeard Pirates, she would actually feel sorry for Lyric like she knows that she can’t do anything for the Acrobat though because it’s the Blackbeard Pirates
She does try to give advice to Lyric though on things that she thinks would be useful for Lyric to escape though and even tries to help her figure out what would be the best island to run away to if Lyric ever did manage to escape
Tumblr media Tumblr media
————————————
I have to say that I’ve actually never heard that song but it sounds like it will be good, I own the movie The Book of Life though so I’ll watch it the next time that I have time to kill
Here’s something about Harmony though, she actually isn’t biologically related to Lyric and Lyra as she was basically adopted by the two of them as their cousin and stuck with that story and where Harmony came from is incredibly chaotic but that’s a story for another day
As for music that I could see fitting Harmony and Apoo, I gotta say that I’m not entirely sure as I’ve never been too good at assigning songs to people but I do know that Harmony would dedicate some soft and quiet love songs to Apoo while he probably dedicates some more loud and funky sounding love songs to her that probably consist of rapping
Thing is about their music tastes as well is that if they were to ever have a child together then the child would inherit both of of their parents music styles meaning imagine either really soft and calm sounding rap that you can fall asleep to or a singer whose really loud with lyrics that would belong more in calmer style of music

If I completely lost my god damn mind and sense and shame, this is what I'd do to these characters, should I meet them in person.
Hugs and kisses for all despite refusing to touch people irl
Marco
Look, I don't need to explain myself. I just wanna ruffle his hair. It looks soft but also like it might feel coarse. I need to know so God damn badly. Also, I wanna know what Phoenix fire feels like. Supposedly it doesn't burn so I'd finally know what actual fire feels like without burning alive.
Just... Hug that goofy swan like neck. Is his whole body flame except his face and feet or is there a main body? Could I lift him as a bird? He'd probably feel really naked if the fire suddenly went out. Plucked bald man.
I want answers damnit. Also to hug a mythical creature but I'm a nerd so no surprise there. Maybe kiss his bird face for the trouble. Just a peck between the eyes with affection.
Ace
I wanna squish his face but I feel like it'd be really greasy and gross 80% of the time. Either from food, fire residue, or just general lack of hygiene. So I'd probably wipe it first and see how quickly he sets something on fire in mortification. If he managed to control himself I'll make sure he fails anyway by kissing his cheek.
Mwah~
I like to imagine that, freshly cleaned, Ace feels really pleasantly warm. Calloused and rough skin, particularly his hands and knuckles, but a vibrant resilience. Maybe a tad dry. Give him a spa day and he glows for weeks.
Lemme hug the sad baby with Issues™, it won't fix him but it wouldn't hurt to just hug the damn man more often.
Thatch
If you've been here for a bit then you know I have an irrational soft spot for this goober. So I wanna know what his hair feels like. Is it hard as a rock or does OP have crazy soft hair gel?!? Does he always have it up in a pompadour or are there rest/lazy days where it's just pulled back? I wanna see it. For totally normal, not overly invested reasons.
I bet the crown of his hair always has a bump from the shape of his pompadour, even when he doesn't do anything. It'd probably look like that soft, curling, beach blow out where it sorta makes an 's' shape around the face on both sides? I wanna play with it and I'll not sorry about that.
Also still absolutely kissing his cheek but only when he's least expecting it and I'm leaving so he has as little time as possible to say anything. Go for a friendly hug (which he'd definitely offer cause everything about him screams 'hugger', and a pretty firm hugger at that) and just
Mwah!
Leave him shocked and frozen as I run away 😘
Luffy
I wanna hug him. He's clearly a fan of hugging and won't make it weird. Even though it'd definitely be tight (something I wouldn't risk with most guys since they get weird about tits touching them, I can't exactly tuck them behind my back 😒). And he'd laugh if I kissed his cheek despite also having the same issue Ace does about being kinda gross. In fact, he'd just laugh if I cleaned off his face with that goofy ass smile.
Might not refrain from seeing if the apples of his cheeks squish like mochi with his devil fruit. Idk. Seems like fun and he'd probably let me. Massages must be wild for Luffy... Think he'd melt into a more literal puddle if you kneaded out his whole ass back? I doubt he's got a lot of tension but that shit feels nice even when you're not tense as hell.
Robin
She looks like she'd give a really good, firm hug. The kind that makes you feel soft and warm.
Also she'd probably kiss my cheek cause she's absolutely a shit and laugh about it. I'll only mostly be a good sport about the teasing.
But mostly I'm curious to know if her hands are dry--common book reader problem--and if she has callouses. She looks like she'd be soft with good skin but she's pretty hands on so idk.

IM FOAMING AT THE MOUTH FROM THIS NEW CHAPTER
everything i could have possibly wanted was here:
penny leveling up, showing her against tashigi and smoker and then immediately after showing her against garp and sengoku INSANE SUGIWA INSANE, her skipping over garp because she’s sentimental <3 and (maybe) she doesn’t want to taint the memory of playful innocence with garp and luffy, mentioning roci, HER LAUGHING, (“Of course, I’m a Bard. I’ve always been one!”), the named attacks!!
“But she also knew something that Shanks often struggled with. They were in the midst of becoming legends too.” SCREAMS
the thought of reading everyone’s reactions to the events of this chapter I CANT WAIT
buggy is tagged in the story but he’s the only character w haven’t had an encounter with yet, is he going to play a major part in penny’s story?
also, we see penny grasp her conquerors but is her devil fruit still unawakened?
is this the point where penny makes a name for herself independent from Shanks? will she now be Bard Penny and no long Akahime?
okay i’ve talked enough. thank you for the new chapter, it’s amazing and i’m so excited to see what this means for penny going forward.
Okay, I'm going to put this under a read-more tab cause my reply is very long!
Hahaha, I contemplated making Penny depressed for a bit and went back and forth here, but I was like, nah, Penny's going to have the time of her life after this. The Navy's going to try and drag her down, but she's going to hold steady. I'm excited for the next chapter cause we have some pretty shocking events. We do see Penny begin to voice some of her grief, but there's a bigger break coming that allows the Straw Hats to step in and that'll be fun.
I think no matter how hard she tries to be otherwise, Penny very very much is the sentimental type and sometimes that sentiment gets in the way of common sense (but also if she attacked Garp, she might've been in Impel Down right now). Sengoku was 100% not expecting to hear Rocinante's name and Penny took a huge gamble with it, which we've seen her do before and kinda shock people with their own past. It's going to be fun to see the moment where that completely and utterly works against her 😂😂
Named attacks--so far, we've gotten one, which was the one she used against Big Mom and we'll come back to that one much later cause I didn't actually show you guys what it does.
Buggy and Penny will meet and it'll go down about as well as you can imagine. Penny has a very loving view of what she considers Shanks' best friend and Buggy just is not fucking expecting it. He's going to play his own part and we'll see more of him than you expect especially in the time skip 👀
So, I'd say Penny's strength with Haki lies primarily in Conqueror's, though she knows the other forms too, she doesn't really have to use it a lot especially in Paradise. She's slowly building herself back up to full strength, which will be needed as we get closer to Sabaody and Ace's execution. If she had remained on Marineford for much longer, she would've 100% fallen to Sengoku and Garp which is why she made a quick and necessary escape after a flashy show of power 😂
As for her Devil Fruit, it's not awakened. And we're going to see that there's moments when Penny kinda contradicts herself about it. She's actually the one who named it the Kopi Kopi no Mi because that was the easiest frame of reference she had as a kid for what it did. And as we know from the first chapter, it's not actually named in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, but as Doffy revealed, it's a fruit that the world government is very interested. And this comes to down to a theme that we've seen crop up in One Piece time and time again which is: scarcity of resources. We've seen wars because of it, the Celestial Dragon's greed and most recently their panic over the lost food stores. And Penny's fruit kinda solves all that with a touch of a hand.
As for the name Bard Penny--I still have a big reveal planned. I don't think Sengoku or the Navy necessarily want this spilling out right after she's attacked them, but they won't tie her to Shanks anymore, because this has now officially gone beyond him. We won't see the Akahime title nor her other one used past this point.
Thank you so so much for reading and dropping in my inbox!!

i wrote up a whooole feral luffy AU bit on twitter last night so am posting it here too (slightly cleaned up) hahaha
Feral luffy AU where the basis is that Luffy is the one who, somehow, set sail the day the celestial dragons arrived and had his boat shot down. 
 He's considerably further out to sea when this happens, and when he falls into the water, he's swept away by a strange ocean current. He winds up on a deserted island surrounded by the same strange currents and it keeps him stranded. 
 Ace and Sabo are devastated by the loss of Luffy, as is Garp, Makino, Dadan and the bandits, and later on Dragon and Shanks when they find out, attempts are made to locate Luffy's body but they never find him, the assumption that he sank too far out into the ocean due to his devil fruit. Ace & Sabo grow up significantly less cheerful without Luffy's presence, but their bond to one another is as strong as ever.
 Sabo fakes his death after begging Garp for help, anything to throw off his family from ever finding him again. Garp agrees because his hatred of certain nobility has grown significantly after Luffy's "death", and he can't stand the thought of losing another grandson.
 Luffy meanwhile, adapts as best he can. Surviving in this new jungle is painful, but doable despite the constant near brushes with death. The true hardship is how lonely he is without his brothers. Luffy has always thrived in the company of others, and without any he struggles, but again, Luffy adapts. 
 He manages to befriend some of the animals in the jungle, and accidentally discovers conqueror's haki when he nearly loses his hat to a predator, his one link to something beyond this island.
 The animals can't replace his brothers, but they ward off the loneliness. Throughout this time, Luffy makes multiple attempts to sail off the island with handmade rafts. Craftsmanship has never been his strong suit however, so they crumble instantly in the harsh currents.
 Perhaps due to luck, the currents always wash him back ashore instead of allowing him to sink and drown. Luffy's speech also slowly degrades over time. As much as he loves talking to his animal friends, the inability to hear someone else speak causes his words to slur and distort
 Ace and Sabo still hold true to their promise to set sail at age 17, but decide that they want to sail together instead of separating. When they finally set sail, they decide to take their time getting to the Grandline, exploring more of the East Blue at a leisurely pace.
After roughly a week of sailing, they get caught in a freak storm and are swept away by a giant wave where they too end up caught in the same strange current that stole Luffy all those years ago. The two wind up unconscious on Luffy's island, where Luffy finds them on the beach.
Luffy doesn't recognize them however, only that wow! For the first time since he arrived, there are other humans on the island with him that are alive! It's an exciting occurrence, and Luffy drags their bodies to the jungle where the tide won't reach.
When poking and prodding don't wake the two, Luffy sets off to gather food for his guests. He still remembers how tired and hungry he was when he first washed ashore, and figures they'd feel the same. As Luffy comes back, Ace wakes up in a panic.
Luffy rushes Ace in excitement and babbles. It's nearly incomprehensible to Ace however, especially in his panicked just-woken hazy-brained state. All Ace wants is to know where Sabo is and where this place is, and pushes Luffy away.
That's when Ace notices Sabo is lying just a few feet away asleep. The tension leaves him immediately and he's able to actually pay attention to the stranger trying to talk to him. 
Luffy is young and shorter than what he would have been had he been able to grow up on Dawn Island. His hair is long, wild and tangled, and he's dressed in furs and leathers. As Ace is studying him, he asks if he's the one who saved him and Sabo. 
For a moment Luffy stares silent, mind untangling the words until they make sense, and then he nods exuberantly. He tries to explain that he found them unconscious on the beach along with their boat, but Ace can barely decipher Luffy's speech. It sounds like someone speaking with a heavy accent at lightning speed.
But it’s then Ace notices the faint scar under Luffy's eye, and the strawhat hanging off his back. That in combination with Luffy's excited movements and speech sets off confusing alarms in his head.
Luffy's dead, Ace knows this, but he forces this strange kid to calm down and asks for his name. Again it takes a moment for Luffy to understand, and he replies. There's that same strange lilt to his words, but it's clear. Monkey D. Luffy! and it's said with a wide, proud grin.
Ace's world tilts then. Luffy? MONKEY D. LUFFY? His brain feels like its shorting out, refusing to register this new bit of information. He thinks he chokes a reply of some kind, but his mind feels blank. Luffy only laughs, not noticing Ace's shock.
In broken speech he asks for Ace's name too, but Ace doesn't hear his question, can only stare at Luffy's face. It can't be Luffy, he thinks. Because if it is... IF IT IS... They're only roughly a week's sail from Dawn Island. Just 7 days.
Is this boy trying to tell Ace that Luffy, in these past 7 years, was only a 7 days boat ride away? And they simply didn't look hard enough? He was here all alone while Ace and Sabo moved on? Ace's heart feels like it's constricting as his vision tunnels in on Luffy.
Luffy's finally noticed that this stranger is looking pale and ill, and pats him in worry. Is he sick? Does he need food? Are you okay, he asks. Ace grabs Luffy's arm then and stares at him with a strange expression. Luffy, it's me, he says, voice shaking. Ace.
Luffy's brows furrow in confusion and he tilts his head. Ace repeats himself, voice growing stronger. I'm Ace! he exclaims, and waits (prays) to see the light of recognition in Luffy's eyes.
Luffy mouths Ace's words silently to himself with frown. Ace? ...ACE! Luffy suddenly leaps towards Ace, landing directly on his chest and crushing him against a tree. He's directly on him and he's got Ace's head clasped roughly between his hands as he stares at his face intently
Ace? Luffy asks out loud, and starts repeating it over and over as he studies Ace's face. Luffy's grip is stronger than expected but Ace manages to give a jerky nod. The piercing stare breaks and Luffy's eyes water. ACE! he cries out in joy and it's the only word he can say.
Luffy wildly paws at Ace's face, then shoulders and arms, as if trying to make sure he's really there, and he's laughing and crying all at once. He then suddenly turns to Sabo on the ground and starts patting his body. He looks up at Ace with a hopeful smile and asks, Sabo?
Ace chokes back a sob because oh. OH. It's really Luffy! He was here this whole time and they never knew! Why hadn't they just looked HARDER? Luffy meanwhile crows in joy and triumph that BOTH his brothers are here with him. 
Ace gets down next to Sabo and starts violently shaking him. Wake up WAKE UP, how can he be SLEEPING when the greatest thing they thought they had lost was BACK. Sabo groans awake and is greeted by the pained teary face of Ace and an equally teary, but grinning stranger
 the shock of the scene jolts Sabo upright and he asks what's wrong? What happened? Ace just points to the boy beside him. It's Luffy, he says through clenched teeth, as if he were trying his best to stave off a breakdown. Huh? Sabo replies, what about Luffy?
 it's LUFFY, Ace grits out again, and this time Luffy chimes in with a cheery, Sabo! and leans in close to his face. Sabo is still confused and Ace nearly snarls in frustration. Luffy's ALIVE, Ace growls, and Luffy laughs. Sabo stares at Luffy and understanding slowly dawns.
 Luffy? he asks in disbelief, and Luffy nods excitedly before crowding in Sabo's face even more. Sabo! Luffy says with a smile and starts repeating his name like he had done with Ace earlier. Sabo, Luffy's been here this whole time, Ace says in a pained whisper.
 This whole time? And the same realization that Ace had grows in Sabo. Luffy, you've been here, all alone...? And we were so close? Sabo's body moves and wraps Luffy's body in a bone crushing hug. Luffy, I- we didn't know! Sabo stammers but it sounds like a terrible excuse.
 Guilt is devouring both Ace and Sabo but Luffy is only smiling. He's overjoyed that his brothers are here, and with their help he can definitely get off this island now! Things do work out!
 We have to go back to Dawn Island, Sabo says suddenly. We need to take Luffy home and we- we gotta tell Gramps! And Dadan and Makino! Luffy's okay! He's okay! And it's like a dam breaks and Sabo is the first one to break down into a full-body sob.
 Luffy gives a cry of dismay and does his best to comfort Sabo. Ace gives in and wraps both Luffy and Sabo in a hug. Both older brothers are whispering apologies to Luffy responds with just wrapping his arms several times around them both in one of his infamous rubbery hugs.
 like luffy had tried to explain earlier, the brothers' ship is beached on the coast and, surprisingly, only suffering a few minor scuffs. their departure is fairly swift, only waiting for the ideal weather after gathering some supplies and luffy's scant belongings
 Perhaps one or two of Luffy's animal friends joins them, but regardless, with the help of a 3 man crew, a sturdy ship, and an actual navigator, Luffy finally escapes the island, and the 3 brothers head home.
 Now all Ace and Sabo have to worry about is helping Luffy readjust to human civilization........

Pick A Pile: How Can You Take Better Care of Yourself?
Tumblr media
I did this reading a bit different from my others. It’s mainly based on impressions as I’m only using the images and any text on the cards at face value along with whatever else comes to me. So feedback would be appreciated. Another thing is the piles all have intertwining messages so if you feel drawn to two piles, then by all means I encourage you to check them both out.
Paid Readings (I’ll be updating them again)
Disclaimer: All readings and tarot/blog games are for fun and entertainment purposes only. It is in no way meant to act as or replace professional advice of any kind. You know yourself and what’s going on in your life best so I asks that you trust yourself above all else. Finally please take only what resonates from the reading which may be some of it, all of it, or none at all.
PILE 1
Tarot Cards: 7 of Cups, 8 of Wands, The Sun
Pile 1, the way you can take better care of yourself is by making a decision. With the 7 of Cups I see that you have all these opportunities being presented in front of you but you have no idea which one to go with. I get the impression from the cards that from postponing making a decision or choice, you’re starting to feel the brightness in other areas of your life dim. With the 8 of Wands and The Sun following however, I feel like once you make a decision, results and positive things will happen quickly, bringing you happiness. The Sun has a faint face depicted in it, so I feel like you don’t have to worry too much about unintended consequences. I see this as a sign you are being protected from unintended or unpleasant consequences as a result of your decision. Also, connecting with your inner child may be a way to help you make this decision.
The next cards that came out are: Protection (Call back your power. Cut the cords. Soul retrieval.) Soul Family (Call in your tribe. You don’t have to do it alone.) Anna, Grandmother of Jesus (Seeding the light, laying foundations. Divine plan.) The Ever-Unfolding Rose (Cracked open. It’s happening for you, not to you.)
With these cards I think some of you could be going through a 'dark night of the soul' (read: a very difficult time in your life). You may be feeling like somewhere along the line you’ve lost yourself or your direction as to where you’re heading next in life or what it is you truly desire (any Lucifer fans here because I hear Tom Ellis’s voice in my head haha). You may be asking yourself questions such as 'Why is this the way life is happening? Why me? Who am I even?' But even though it might seem unfair or lacking sense right now, keep in mind that whatever is going on is helping you in some format. Situations within reason of course, using your discernment here is best. It’s truly all about how you tell your story. Another thing is you don’t have to make these decisions on your own. Turn to your family and your friends for help/advice. If necessary, maybe you can seek professional help. If either or those things isn't really an option, you could always try taking some time to nurture yourself and journey inside to help you remember or figure out what’s important to you. When you make that effort to find/listen to yourself outside of the noise of everything else, I think that’s when you’ll find the information necessary to help make your decision.
Remaining Cards: The Hourglass Dolphin (46) — your achievement is only a matter of time. The Three Rhine Maidens (15) — love is a virtue that endure eternally.
The Hourglass Dolphin is all about finding balance between two aspects of your life, typically work and play. Dividing your time and remembering to put EXTRA care into taking care of your basic needs is another thing that’s going to help you find success. I feel like you are in a transitory phase and it really is only a matter of time before whatever darkness that may be clouding your life right now disappears.
The Three Rhine Mermaids talks about a phase in your life coming full circle, and once that happens your hearts desires are going to start materialising in your physical/the 3D.
The North Witch (23) — This card just kind of confirms or reiterates that with patience this dark phase is going to fade.
The Toad Witch (7) —This card talks about gaining wisdom from adversity. Also a secret admirer as well. There were messages of love laced through out the cards but they weren’t clear until now. Similarly, I think this will reflect in your life that after you’ve found stability once things have cleared up, you will find love as well.. or better yet, love will find you. Do keep in mind it might not be super quick… maybe Spring or Summer (depending on when you're reading this).
Self Care Activities Ideas (Homemade deck): Look good; feel good (put effort into looking the way you want), Believe In Yourself, Have a fruit (incorporate more fruits into your diet).
PILE 2
Hello Pile 2. The way for you to take better care of yourself right now is through doing what makes you happy.
Tarot Cards: Ace of Swords, The Sun, The Devil
I actually pulled the Ace of Swords last. Also before I started focusing on your pile while shuffling, the Four of Swords reversed came out.
Thinking of these two cards together, I think you need to pull back and ask yourself if what you’re doing is really the best thing for you. I feel like you guys could be in a really good place right now— at least at face value. The cards have darker backgrounds, except The Sun. I feel like whatever you are doing isn’t really sparking joy inside. Maybe it’s familial or peer pressure related? The life path you’re on right now seems ideal and fulfilling to everyone else, but somehow I feel like deep down inside it doesn’t feel that way. You may feel chained or held back as shown by The Devil. Looking at The Sun and The Devil, they came out together side by side. I feel like this is more family related meaning parents, parental figures or mentors. They may be trying to look out for you by telling you to study a certain topic or take a certain job because it’s safe, when what you truly want to do may be a little bit more risky. So even though you’re playing it safe right now and have things to celebrate, you may not be able to shake the that unsatisfied feeling inside.
The next cards that came out are: Warrior Woman (Have you answered your deepest calling?) Play (Have fun. Celebrate. Don’t be so serious.) Break The Chain (Ancestral patterns. Healing. Rewriting the future.) Transformation (Things are changing at a cellular level. Deep healing.)
All the figures in these cards look like they’re in their power. It makes me think you may be ignoring or avoiding stepping into the energy of your higher self. I kind of had the though fear of backlash pop into my head, and while it is a valid fear, I don’t feel like it’s something you have to worry about a lot. I feel like you need to schedule more time for yourself in general as well. You can’t ‘fight’ for other people all the time, you also have to ‘fight’ for you.
I’m just noticing something about the placement of the cards. Warrior Woman has a sword and is placed right next the the Ace of Swords. Break The Chain is right next to The Devil, and the sun is shining in Transformation and Play, in the same position as the one in The Sun… As I was saying, I feel like you need to just take a moment to connect with yourself. Ask yourself what is it you truly want and begin rewriting your future*.
*This is the part where I let it be known I need people to practice life coaching with so if you’re interested you can message me. 18 years and up only though.
Remaining Cards: The Siren (14) — In the treasure of a day, light is thrown on what could be tomorrow. The Stripped Dolphin (30) Good news, flowing through the ether waves will answer your prayers.
The Siren Is mostly about observation and not forcing connections. The Stripped Dolphin is about good things happening for you, especially by surprise. It’s also about new beginnings in any area of your life. However there’s also a message about not getting caught up in many opportunities, so if you were drawn to pile 1 as well, I see this as a sign to check out the pile as well.
The Silver Moon Witch (2) has a message of being able to see progress by the next full or new moon. However this card advises you to choose carefully when it’s the right time to go with the flow versus ‘swimming’ against the tide. Relating to above, journey inside yourself to figure out if you are taking the right course if action by choosing to stick with the path you’re on versus yelling plot twist and doing something different.
The Full Moon Witch (18) has two sides to it. On one hand you can expect ‘heartfelt’ plans coming to fruition, but on the other hand emotions may be running high and words that aren’t meant may be said. This another one of the moon phases cards, so you may find during the full moon you may have disagreements with your loved ones but once it starts to wane, disagreements may also reach a resolution. I think this relates to the The Silver Moon Witch card as well, so maybe before or during a full moon may not be the best time to bring up anything that may cause a disagreement?
Self Care Activities Ideas (Homemade deck): Journal, Get Creative, Listen To Music (there may be messages in songs for you)
PILE 3
Pile 3, you guys have been giving me hell from the moment I sat down to pull cards for your reading. From focusing and interpreting to editing. Everything was a mess and I’m assuming you a significant part of your life maybe as well? Or your headspace at least.
Aside from my struggles with your reading, based on the cards, I see you need to focus on yourself.
Tarot Cards: The Chariot, The High Priestess, Queen of Wands reversed.
Starting with your Tarot in no particular order, you have The Chariot, The High Priestess and Queen of Wands reversed. The Queen of Wands is my ideal (you) card. When it’s reversed, I see it as a sign [you] are not embodying the energy of your highest self and/or something in your life is out of balance. Both The Chariot and The High Priestess have black and white polarities, so I see it more as you needing to put yourself back into balance. Something may feel hidden from you, though you’re not really sure what and you want to push forward but it’s just not really happening? On the bottom of the deck is the 9 of Swords which notes to fear, depression, anxiety, etc and is needing to release those emotions. Obviously it can be more complex than it sounds, but I’m hoping you get the idea. Brain-dump came to me. Maybe you need to do a brain-dump and survey/assess your ‘kingdom’ so you can flip that Queen of Wands energy around and allow your chariot to race onward. The next cards that came out are:
The Crumbling (What are you clinging on to?) —> Do you need to release anything? Material items, a goal, a belief, way of life, or maybe just the act of trying to have it all together?
Boundaries (Where do you need to establish better boundaries?) —> Do you need better boundaries with yourself? Habits? People? Enviroment? School/Career?
Share Your Voice (Come out of the cave. Persecution. Expression.) It’s time to step into the limelight, because the world is your stage. Maybe you’ve been hanging back and suppressing who you truly are, but now it’s time to step forward into a new role… a you role. You don’t have to go from stand in actor to lead role over night, but do brainstorm and take baby steps daily to get there.
Keepers Of The Earth (You are not alone. Ancient ancestors stand beside you.) Take the meaning as you will, but I see it as a message to look for support in unexpected places. Maybe it’s an online community of people who can relate to you. Maybe it’s a book, article or video. Who knows, it could even be a friend or family member you didn’t think could relate or help you out. Remaining Cards: The Kraken (38) — Your success and happiness lie within you. The Great Sea Monster (37) — To accomplish you dream plan and believe.
The main theme of The Kraken is release. Good fortune/luck will come to you by delving into your subconscious mind to free the conscious. Returning to nature and the things that bring you inner joy. Good fortune coming in small waves which eventually grow into big ones.
The Great Sea Monster is about taking action and again, freeing your conscious mind by looking into your unconscious mind. Also there is more than one way to solve a dilemma, you just have to search the right way. The Immortal Witch (4) — new beginnings are happening for you, and your desires are on their way to you although it might not appear so currently. (Kind of like planting a seed. It’s growing though we can’t see it until it burst through the soil). The Fairy Ring Witch (9) — mental and physical communication. Connecting with or making friends with similar skills or talents. Self Care Activities Ideas (Homemade deck): Tend to yourself, Slow and steady, Get creative, Read a book (maybe a self help book relevant to what you're going through).

It starts because Ace is young and still leaning, even though people forget that because of how he carries himself.
But Ace is young. He's so young, still growing into his body and mind.
They almost forgot what it was like to be that young. God, were they that small?
They don't catch it at first. Probably because he didn't want them to see but also because as brave as Ace is, fear is spread through him in a thin layer like second skin.
They want him but he doesn't want them. Can't seem to fathom that they truly want him. Doesn't understands why they want to call him brother.
He spits fire at them like he can convince them he's a mighty dragon but all they see is him backed into the corner like a small snake spitting soot.
He still never burns them.
All the times he tries to attack Pops or gets thrown around, he never strikes out at the people not involved.
Never raises a hand to the rest of the crew. And the thoughtless way he makes sure to avoid hurting anyone, the way he always seems to make sure the only one he's after is Pops, endear him to the crew even more,
It's not until after the ink has settled in his skin that they truely start to catch on.
Ace pulling back sometimes, subtle but quick movements that have him separating himself from others.
How sometimes he gets anxious, itches at his arms until his fire has to burn up them, cleaning up spots of blood and skin torn from ragged nails.
He hesitates when touching them, always seems to expect people to jerk away. He makes sure that people can pull away from him easily or have a clear way away from him if needed.
It makes sense once they start to notice.
Ace is fire.
Even people who aren't scared of fire have a healthy respect for it or are weary of it.
Ace has never burned any of them, even when he was first brought on and constantly causing problems. He never burned anyone.
People still flinch back when he uses it though, they're too big of a crew to not have members that aren't nervous around fire. Who don't look at Ace and see a threat.
And between watching him and speaking to the Spades, they remember that Ace is young and still so new to his devil fruit.
Even with his incredible control, there are moments where he startles or gets excited and he just reacts. Sparks, small flames, or even just a wave of blistering heat.
He's horrified each time, immediately taking off or curling into himself.
They watch him direct all his frustration and fear inward until it's a tangled mess of black and darkness. They want to pull it out of him like old stitches, they want him to have room to heal.
It's that very fear that has him seeking Marco out more often.
Marco is a safe place.
The phoenix is stronger than him, the cool blue smothers all his raging red without any effort. Ace can burn himself up into ash and Marco won't get hurt at all. Marco also won't let him hurt anyone, he would take Ace down if he became a large enough threat.
It's amazing.
And part of Ace is terrified, knowing there is someone out there who can put him out as easily as the wind blows out a candle.
The other part of him is relieved. The part that worries his blood will leave stains on anyone who touches it. The part that is terrified that there is something dark in him and he'll eventually hurt everyone he cares about.
So on nights where he knows his dreams will be bad, nightmares already lingering in the corner of his eyes, he seeks out Marco. The other man knows, his eyes are far too knowing about most things, but he doesn't say anything.
He lets Ace sit with him, burns his hand blue so Ace can cling to it and watch the purple dancing between them.
It's relaxing and it doesn't feel like anything, the two temperatures balancing each other out pretty well, but he likes to rub their clasped hands against his cheek.
And how appropriate it is that purple means luxury, because Ace has never felt more spoiled in his life.
Marco indulges it all. Ace seeking him out to have someone he can touch without worry making a home in his veins.
Marco lets him sleep in his room when he has nightmares and lets Ace grab at him when he can't remember what touching someone feels like. He doesn't say anything when Ace shows up in the middle of the night with wet cheeks and immediately wants comfort.
They learn each others schedules and when Ace sneaks into his room at night, pulse still thumping hard enough to be visible in his neck, he makes Marco sleep too. Won't leave him alone until he sets all the reports aside and promises to actually get some rest.
When Marco comes back from missions, feathers that aren't there at the moment still aching, he finds warm coffee on his desk and Ace pops in later to fuss over him.
No one says anything, even though everyone knows.
They love seeing their family happy.
The love seeing Ace happy and filled with love. He's more relaxed with them now and is truly settling in.
Marco is happier, he sleeps better and seemed younger with Ace tugging him everywhere.
They want it to last forever.
Tumblr media
Later on when Marco is alone, family scattered and heart broken, the color blue burns cold and lonely.

hello!! may I request for flustered reactions of ace, sabo and zoro getting caught by others in a compromising position with their crush? (ex: their crush falls on top of them or something) thank you very much <3
Tumblr media
Summary- ^^ requested
Character(s)- Portgas D. Ace, Ronona Zoro, Sabo
Warnings- none :)
A/n- Ahsidbsu I have like some many idea for this, it’s was fun writing this, too. Ahhh I’m so sorry this took so long I hope you enjoy 💕
Tumblr media
Portgas D. Ace
Ace has had a crush on you for a while now, and this man has fell hard. He’s so lucky that your on his crew because he gets to see you like everyday but just because he gets to see you everyday, doesn’t mean he’s not awkward.
The one rare time he wasn’t awkward was when the Whitebeard pirates were having another one of their huge parties. You and Ace were drinking and partying like usually, this time you and Ace got a little more drunk this time.
While the 2 of you were dancing with each other, and the others cheering y’all on, Ace had stumbled over his own feet and fell right onto you. You didn’t think to much of you because you were having too good of a time. Ace on the other hand had quickly sobered up.
On accident, when Ace fell he had fell right into your chest. You were too giggly to even care about it, you just kept joking about how clumsy Ace is. However, Ace was redder than his devil fruit. There wasn’t a spot in his face that wasn’t red.
Because everything happened so quickly and he didn’t even know how to respond, he just stayed there. Right inbwteen your chest. It wasn’t until the crew began to holler, that he moved.
Ace has quickly jumped up and began to shout at the others to shut up, while you just contuined to laugh on the floor. You had no idea what was going on but it was hilarious.
Even with all the embarrassing shouts from the others, Ace couldn’t help but noticed how cute you were laying on the floor. After smiling softly to you, he yanking you up from the floor only to come crashing right down this time with you on his chest.
It’s safe to say that the shouts from the crew didn’t stop at all that night. Ace was gonna head about this forever. It’s also safe to say that he didn’t drink anything else that night, he didn’t need anymore embarrassment. Although he must admit, your laught is adorable.
Sabo
He’s just freaks out. Very similar to Ace where he would be so embarrassed and blush so hard but Sabo’s the kinda of person that would try to brush it of to try and make it less awkward. But just ends up making it worse
You were helping Sabo go through old books and documents he had kept in his office. He had a lot so he asked for you help before. Your job was to simple pass down anything that looks old or that he pointed out. It was an easy job, Sabo could’ve done it himself but this mans like you, so of course he’s gonna ask for your help
Everything was going smoothly too, you would pass down stuff to him, he’d go through it, y’all would talk about it, then he’d throw it away. An easy and simple process, at least it was easy until you had to reach up for the higher books. It was going well too, except when you slipped.
As soon as Sabo heard the ladder creek, He rushed over to grab you. Not thinking it through, when Sabo went to catch you he completely ignored the books falling with you. And right when he went to catch you, a book had hit him right in the face causing him to stumble back.
In the process, he was able to catch you though. More or less. You had landed on him right as he was stumbling back. With you also hitting him, Sabo now lays in the floor his head spinning with you on him. At least he was able to catch you, although he wished it was in a less awkward position
As soon as he felt you move on him, his face had flushed a bright red. What were the chances of you falling onto his crotch? Of courss, you not knowing, began to shift around to try and regain your senses. Sabo had immediately tensed up, this is not how he wanted it to go. Luckily, you hadn’t noticed anything yet
At least you didn’t, until Koala had walked in. As if she knew it was gonna happen, her eyes immediately went over to yall. Her eyes widen as a blush covered her face. The worst part was, she just stood there, staring at them. It was extremely awkward and it’s wasn’t until Sabo spoke up did Koala even move. With a very loud, somewhat happy sounding, gasp she ran out of Sabo’s office
It’s safe to say that there’s going to be some rumors going around
Ronoroa Zoro
Least likely to get flustered out of all of them, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t. There are some times where he can’t even help himself. It’s natural body recation, that seems to happen at the most inconvenient moments too
The 2 of you were exploring the new island y’all had docked out. With the other collecting things, you had volunteered to go with Zoro so he doesn’t get lost. It was more of a joint effect, you would stop Zoro from wondering off and Zoro would help you not buy everything in sight.
While you were window shopping at some random shop, Zoro had noticed a pair of marines who seemed a little too focused on y’all. As soon as Zoro had made eye contact with them and saw them walk y’all’s way, Zoro grabbed your arm and quickly pulled you behind him
You weren’t able to ask a question as Zoro pulled you into an alley quickly losing the pair. Just to make sure Zoro had you stay with him for a little while longer. He was too focused on your safety that he didn’t even noticed the position y’all where in. Once you called out to him and asked what was going on he finally noticed.
Without even thinking Zoro had picked a very small alley. Small enough so that you were pressed against his chest and his leg was paced right in between yours. Hell, it was hard for even you not to blush.
It was such an embarrassing position. And what where the chancing of it happening too? Like 1/1000. Good thing it was dark tho because if it wasn’t you could be able to see his deep blush that covered his cheeks. Something that would so make him look childish. He had to do it to get away from the marines, he made sure to tell himself that over and over again.
Once Zoro had deemed it safe and after your comments, the 2 of you had shimmined you way out of the alley. It was a good thing you were coming back to the island again because with y’all’s cloths looking like a mess, it definitely looked like y’all did something. Cleaning your throat the 2 of you walked off, with blushed still very visible on y’all’s face.
It was fine, it was finally over it and now it’s a thing of the past. At least, it was going to be if a certain blonde cook didn’t spot the 2. Sanji was no doubt enraged. This is definitely going to be a very ending battle

If the Straw Hats Had a Reality Show Dedicated to Pirates Headcanon! Ft: Law!
With how infamous the pirate crew gotten, it was only natural that they were soon granted the rights to have their own reality show, like other famous pirates in the Grand Line and the New World.
Tumblr media
Get ready for Keeping Up with the Straw Hats!
Luffy: Whether it was his strength, or his childlike innocence, Luffy was a fan favorite!
He often ignored the producers suggestions to make the show more interesting.
Luffy didn’t like when the producers told him to punch a random person on the street when they were visiting an island.
Was not getting paid, as he owed the producers over 10,000 berris for punching the camera one time in anger, when the director attempted to take his meat away. The director was only making a suggestion for a much healthier diet for the star of the show.
Luffy also skipped out on a lot of confessional sessions. Mainly because he really didn’t have much to hide to begin with. But if he did go, it was mainly to either show appreciation for his crew or to make public declarations:
“Sanji’s cooking the BEST!”
“Do we get free meat with this show?”
“I’m going to kick Mingo’s ass!”
Zoro: The viewers found Zoro amusing! Whether it be him constantly getting lost, or his heated arguments with Sanji. The producers would rush over to him, cameras and all whenever they caught the two together.
Zoro was surprisingly popular with female viewers. They enjoyed watching him sweat whenever he would work out in the crows nest.
Zoro didn’t care about the show really. Just as long as he gets to work out, drink booze, and sleep, he’s good.
The producers always looked forward to his confessionals after he fights with Sanji:
“That damn shitty cook! Just who the hell does he think he is?!”
“That curly brow dumbass is gonna get himself killed one of these days!”
Sanji: Was angry that Zoro was racking in more views from the female viewers than he was!
Why him?! Why not me?!
He kicked the camera man straight in the chin when he told him that Zoro was naturally more popular than he was.
Sanji desperately tried to win over the female viewers by showing off his fighting skills or his culinary expertise.
He was excited when he finally got some fan mail from the fans!
It turned out to be from the okamas though…
If Sanji went to the confessionals, it was usually to cry about why women weren’t interested in him…or to talk shit about Zoro:
“Just what does he have that I don’t on this show?”
“Why aren’t all the beautiful ladies watching me?”
Little did Sanji know, he caught the eyes of Violet and Pudding.
Nami: An absolute slut for the camera! The producers LOVED her!
One couldn’t tell who was using who more. All that mattered was what would bring them more views and more money.
Whenever it was filming time, Nami would purposely wear a bikini without the jeans to draw in the male viewing audience.
Add the extra seductive act she would put on, and nosebleeds would cover millions of transponder snail television screens.
Loved to give tours of the Sunny and show off her designer clothes.
Would parade around the islands, using Momonosuke as an accessory to manipulate the fans into loving her more.
Nami LOVED to take advantage of the fanbase, often subtly asking for gifts mainly money through the fan mail she receives. Next to Robin, she had the most.
Nami became very vain and strict with the crew on how to present themselves for the camera and had to keep members like Luffy in check to make sure he didn’t do anything stupid to cause the show to be cancelled. But just in case, as a backup, she could always start an Only Fans.
One might say that the fame and fortune was getting to her head, as she would purposely start up drama whenever she was out on an island. Would probably steal from a city mayor if it meant she could get the fans taking for weeks.
Whenever she was in the confessionals, it was mainly to complain about Luffy’s or Zoro’s antics.
Would probably shit talk about Robin, although faking it the whole time, to get some drama started:
“Honestly! I wish Luffy would just use some common sense for once!”
“Robin thinks she’s all that! But everyone knows, I’m the prettiest girl on the show!”
“I’ll let you film me in the bath. It’ll cost you 1 million beri!”
Franky: Loved the camera! One sided on the producers part since they didn’t enjoy Franky’s sense of…ahem…style.
He would dance, be loud, or show off his cool body.
If he was in the confessional room, it was to complain openly to the producers on why they did him dirty.
“Hey! I saw last weeks episode! Why did you cut my scene out, bro?!”
Ussop: Although not nearly as popular as Nami, Ussop was interesting enough to get some viewers watching the show, even unintentionally.
Ussop used the show to make himself seem cooler, mainly through the confessionals.
The lies he told caught the attention of viewers worldwide, though very few could sees past his lies.
The producers didn’t care, so long as there were viewers.
“Yes it was I! The Great Captain Ussop who defeated CP9!”
“Wait wait! Cut that out! Cut that scene out! I meant SniperKing!”
Chopper: The Worlds Favorite Cutie Pie!
Choppers looks alone were enough to win the hearts of viewers! Mostly the female reindeer mink.
Combine that with his child like innocence and he’s instantly a popular household name!
On top of that he already has many sponsorships from multiple sweet brands. (Mainly cotton candy ones.)
Choppers pretty shy on camera and often does his usual dance when he’s nervous. The audience eats it up.
He doesn’t gossip. When it comes to confessionals, he’s usually talking about Zoro’s recklessness when it comes to bandages, or Sanji’s nose bleeding habits.
Jimbei: Not particular interested in TV or fame, but used being on TV to his advantage to spread his word and try stop discrimination against fishmen.
The producers found him boring and didn’t look forward to filming him, especially at confessionals…but at the very least, he was able to bring in views due to his former status as a warlord.
Robin: Had many admirers! She enjoyed being on the show. Often is seen on screen on a lavish shopping trip with Nami.
She does her part to make the show more interesting, whether it is be her dark sense of humor or putting her devil fruit powers to good use.
She once used it on a producer when he asked her to do something suggestive for views. After that, the producers never messed with her again, out of fear for their lives.
Not much for confessionals though, except when she’s expressing how amused she is at Luffy’s antics.
She may appeared to be calm and quiet but you better believe that the rumors she would stir up, would get the people talking!
Piers Morgans was having a field day with the headlines:
“Did Cat Burgler Nami Get Breast Implants?!”
“Roronoa Zoro: Honorable Swordsmen or Man Thot?! Gets Caught Sleeping with Wano’s Most Beautiful Woman!”
“Is Monkey D Luffy, Secretly Seeing His Crewmates Sister From the Germa Kingdom?!”
Brook: Fans loved seeing Soul King on screen. In some episodes he’s either playing music or he’s attempting a panty raid in Nani’s room. Which often results in him getting beat up by her every time.
Anything he says in the confessional‘s ends up with his signature laugh.
Law: Made a special guest appearance since starting hiw alliance with Luffy.
You can imagine his look of surprise, when the crew showed up on Punk Hazard with a camera crew and all.
He wasn’t at all interested in being on TV. His famous “I hate bread” made him an instant fan favorite. And meme along the fanbase.
He didn’t like that…
Law hated being followed around by the camera crew on the Thousand Sunny or when he simply just wanted peace. He frequently scolded the producers to stop or told Luffy to call off the cameras, but neither listened.
He only wanted to discuss the alliance plans in private with the crew and didn’t want the producers to catch any of it for the world to see.
As time went on, and Law was getting sucked into the Straw Hat shenanigans. He found himself wandering into the confessional where he would frequently complain about the crew. Mainly the captain.
“Mugiwara-ya will be the death of me…”
“Rorona-ya has no sense of direction…”
“How has the crew survived this long? They don’t ever strategize when it comes to making a plan!”
Viewer Reactions:
Sabo: Enjoys watching his little brother on screen, and always has a good laugh. Koala would often scold him for abandoning his duties to go watch the show.
Hancock: Would briefly abandon her duties as Pirate Empress for the whole day if it meant, she could watch Luffy on screen.
Took up most of his fan mail, and gifts that had meat.
Hancock would be envious of Nami and Robin on her screen, wishing she was their with Luffy.
Mihawk: Reality shows weren’t his usual choice of television entertainment, but he did watch, soley to watch over Zoro’s progress as a swordsmen. He would lie if Perona asked him if he found what he saw the slightest bit amusing.
Ace: He got a kick out watching his little brother on screen. Often laughing at Luffy’s antics. He saw that Luffy’s crew was slowly riding in more views on the reality show The WhiteBeard Pirates had. Ace wasn’t too worried but he knew he had to step it up.
Shanks: Often shaking his head and smiling in amusement at the sight of Luffy on screen. Would sometimes watch the show with Ace as the two spoke fondly of him.
Big Mom: Was furious that Luffy was racking in more views than her crew combined. Everyone used to love Big Mom’s wedding cake special episodes.
“MUGIWARAAAAA!” *Smashes TV*
Garp: Nearly choked on his crackers at the sight of his crazy grandson invading his screen.
“LUFFY NOOOOOO!”
Smoker: If any marine soldier was caught watching, Keeping Up with the Straw Hats, you better believe that he’ll would be raised at HQ. in secret though, he would watch it. Not for entertainment, but more so to study the Straw Hats moves.
Buggy: Screeching out in jealously seeing Straw Hat Luffy was popular enough to be given his own show and not him.
Kid: Was sitting at a bar one night and spat out his drink in anger at the sight of Straw Hat on his screen.
Nearly popped a blood vessel when he saw Law on screen.
“The hell?! Even Trafalgar?! How come those bastards get their own show?!”
Killer remained silent. He knew the reason why the Kid Pirates never picked up the rights to a pirate reality show was because of how scary Kid was.
Dragon: Used the show as a way to keep up with his son. Although in secret, since he didn’t want his army to notice.
Germa 66: Mixed reactions.
“That’s no son of mine.” Judge would say.
Reiju giggled at the sight of the screen. After a mission, she would look forward to watching the show to see her brother.
Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji expressed annoyance and criticized Sanji. Although would never admit that they were each jealous that Sanji got to be on a reality show instead of the Germa Kingdom itself.
Yamato: Wants to be on the show. Not for the fame, but mainly to spread the word and tell the world what a horrible father, Kaido is and spread Oden’s legacy to the world.

hiii, how are you? may i ask angst alphabet for Ace? thank you ❤️
Tumblr media
Angst Alphabet - Portgas D. Ace
Tumblr media
a/n: hi hi!! here you go! OMG angst is still really hard LOL I don’t want to think about their rough life 😔😔😔😔😔 ANYWHOOOOO thank you for requesting and I hope you enjoy<3
warnings: on the letter S there is mention of self harm
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A-Accident (would they blame themselves if you died in an accident?)
Ace would definitely blame himself. He’s always thought he was a no-good demon child, son of a criminal that didn’t deserve to be alive (despite finding people that truly cared and loved him). You dying in an accident and him not being able to do anything about it would just reinforce what he already thinks of himself.
Regardless of your cause of death he is likely to attribute it to your association with himself, and because of that he will think it is entirely his fault, even if he wasn’t present at the time of your death.
B-Break up (How would they break up with you?)
His lessons with Makino really helped him develop manners and just a general sense of acceptable behaviour. So, Ace would just be clear and up front, no mixed messages, no miscommunication. He would take you some place quiet and away from others, and then he would be as honest and vulnerable as possible – it’s the least you deserve. The break-up would be very civil, you would definitely end on good terms (doesn’t make it any less sad though).
C-Crying (how would they make you cry?)
Sometimes Ace can take his teasing a little too far. Usually you can handle it, but there are just some days where his words cut deeper than ever intended (even if they have no malice behind them). It’s not his fault you’re having a bad day, or not realizing you are having a bad day. It’s just one of those things that happens sometimes. As soon as you start to cry though, he apologizes and reassures you so much, to make sure you known he doesn’t mean it and he’s only playing around.
D-Death (how would they react to your death?)
It would start out with a lot of confusion, like “what t-that must be some kind of a sick joke. H-how… w-what… they wouldn’t just die like that.” After it really sinks in that you have in fact died, Ace will just get angry. I don’t see him as much of a crier (spoiler alert – we only see him truly allow himself to cry on two occasions 1) when luffy got crazy hurt as a child and 2) when ace was on deaths door), so I believe he would react with anger.
Regardless of your cause of death (natural causes, accident, died in battle etc.) Ace would be unbelievably angry with himself, the world and you. He would be angry at himself for being unable to save you, someone he cares about and loves deeply. He would be angry at the world and whatever higher being there may be for choosing now to be your time. There are so many horrible, horrible people in the world, yet you had to die? It makes no sense. Lastly, he would be angry at you. Not a genuine anger but more so a “how could you just leave me like this? We were meant to be together forever.”
E-Emotion (what is one emotion they would try to hide the most and how would they do it?)
I think Ace tends to try his sadness. He tries to put on a brave face, not wanting anyone to see him cry as he doesn’t want to be viewed as weak or be even more of a burden on others.
F-Fight (how often do you fight? What do you fight about? Do you fight often? Etc.)
Fights with Ace, although they don’t happen often, can quickly get out of hand. He’s stubborn and his inability to accept that he’s not always right can cause a minor disagreement to escalate into an all-out fight. On a few occasions you have argued about him never turning his back on an opponent.
Your fights tend to be followed by cooldown time. Things can get quite heated (no pun intended) so you need some alone time and space to breathe. After that though, you comeback together and apologize.
G-Guilt (what is the biggest thing they feel guilty about?)
For his entire life, Ace has lived with the guilt of simply existing. He doesn’t think himself worthy of being alive. Can you blame him? It’s all anyone ever told him growing up. Despite eventually finding people who loved him for him, those feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness still remain and continue to plague his mind.
H-Heartbreak (what would cause them pain in the relationship? How would they deal during a break-up?)
During a break-up Ace is quiet. He doesn’t want to be around anyone or anything. He wants to be left completely alone so he can sort out his thoughts and feelings. He’d be quite devasted because he’s had so few people in his life love him on as deep a level as you did.
I-Injured (how would they react if you are badly injured?)
Ace would absolutely lose it if you were injured. He’d be concerned, upset, and angry all at once. First things first, he needs to know if you are going to be ok. Once that’s been established, he’ll be upset at himself for allowing this to happen. This will be replaced by the pure anger he feels at whoever, or whatever, caused this.
J-Jealousy (what do they do if they are jealous?)
When he gets jealous he turns into such a man child. He’s pouting and moping around while mumbling to himself. He develops quite a petty attitude. If you were to ask him “want to go get something to eat?” he’d respond with “why don’t you just go and ask ____ for some food.” But, as soon as you begin commenting on how jealous he’s acting he’s going to deny it to the end of his days.
K-Kill (would they kill for revenge?)
Ace literally hunted down Blackbeard so he could get revenge on him for killing Thatch. It’s not certain whether or not Ace had the intention of killing Blackbeard, however, he definitely had both the spirit and anger to go through with killing him. So, it is possible that Ace would kill for revenge. However, for the most part, he would prefer to just beat them senseless.
L-Loss (what is their greatest loss?)
Either Sabo or his mother’s death, would be considered Ace’s greatest loss. His mother died when he was a new-born, so he doesn’t particularly remember, or know, anything about her other than the fact that she was a kind wonderful woman. However, the loss of Sabo is something he remembers vividly. Losing Sabo had a major impact on Ace. It was an unfortunate wake up call as to how awful the world truly is.
M-Mistake (what is the worst mistake they ever made with you?)
One night, after a particularly bad day filled with a horrible series of events, Ace was letting off some steam (quite literally I suppose). Messing with his devil fruit power, throwing some flames around. He hadn’t noticed your presence and so his flames nearly burnt you. He was horrified, and he only felt worse after he noticed the pure terror in your eyes.
N-Nightmares (how often do they have them? What are they about? How do they deal with it?
Ace has nightmares frequently, they vary, but they all have the same underlying theme, that is, the people in his life don’t actually care about him and only view him the same way everyone else views the son of the pirate kind – a worthless devil with no right to life. He wakes up from his dreams in a sweat and finds himself in desperate need of fresh air (ya know to try and clear his mind). He ends up just sitting out on the deck of the Moby Dick looking up at the sky trying to tell himself it was all a dream. But his insecurity and self-doubt begin to resurface and soon he can’t discern imagination from reality. However, the moment someone else on the crew even speaks to Ace with something as simple as a “morning dude” he’s brought back down to earth and thinks to himself “no that’s right…. They love me… I wouldn’t be here right now if they didn’t.”
It’s a vicious cycle, but in the end, he manages to remember (even if it’s just for a little bit) that he is cherished.
O-Outrage (how and why would they get mad at you?)
When you continuously tell him there’s no need to stay and fight every single opponent. It’s okay to turn and runaway – in fact it’s safer to do that. When you say that he feels as though you don’t understand him. He’s not some careless, impulsive child who’s just looking for a fight (okay maybe he is a little bit). So he doesn’t really get super angry, it’s more so that he is frustrated and a little upset that you don’t try to see it from his perspective.
P-Past (what has happened in your relationship that changed the way you saw each other?)
It’s the same as the worst mistake he’s ever made with you – nearly burning you with his devil fruit. It made you realize that Ace can actually be quite dangerous (although you know he would NEVER hurt you intentionally). It made Ace realize that he needs to be more careful, the look of pure terror in your eyes has stayed with him ever since that incident, serving as a reminder.
Q-Quality (what is their most dangerous/toxic quality?)
His tendency to not back down from a fight is simultaneously his most endearing and toxic trait. He constantly places himself in dangerous situations with minimal concern for his own safety.
R-Rejection (how would they react to you rejecting their confession (or the other way around))
Having his confession rejected by you was definitely a blow to his self-esteem, but he respected and accepted your feelings. Instead of moping around about it he decides to laugh it off, trying to make light of a slightly disappointing situation.
S-Scars (battle or self-inflicted)
Ace does not have any scars, battle related or self-inflicted.
TW self-harm: I do think ace got worryingly close to self-harming, but Sabo and Luffy made him rethink it all.
T-Trust (have they ever broken your trust?)
The one and only time Ace broke your trust was after Blackbeards betrayal. You made him promise to take you with him when he left to hunt down Blackbeard because you didn’t want him to go alone. He promised but he had no intention of keeping that promise.
U-Urge (how badly do they want to see you after you guys separated?)
For a while Ace manages to get by by keeping himself preoccupied. But as soon as he lets up for even a minute, he realizes how much he misses you and is beyond tempted to just sail on back to wherever you are and tackle you to the ground plastering your face in lil kisses. When he’s not distracted, he really does miss you a lot. He hyper-fixates on what you could be doing at this very moment, whether or not you miss him too etc.
V-Vicious (what do they do when they lash out on you?)
When ace gets mad, he tends to get very loud. He raises his voice quite a lot and it becomes very, very frightening. He would never physically hurt you, but the anger and frustration in his voice is more than another to scare the shit out of you.
W-Weak (what makes them feel weak how do they try to avoid it?)
Constantly being reminded or associated with the Pirate King. Maybe it doesn’t make him feel weak, but it makes him feel horrible inside and stirs up a lot of feelings and remarks people would make when he was younger. Unfortunately, once word gets out there isn’t much Ace can do to stop this from happening, however, before this, Ace avoided this by not telling ANYONE. He only told Luffy and Sabo, with a very small handful of others knowing (i.e Garp).
X-X-ray (what do they hate and show it most obviously?)
He hates turning his back on a fight or turning his back on people that talk shit about those he cares about. This is seen during the Marineford arc. He doesn’t let Akainus words about Whitebeard slide. He doesn’t runaway. He has no tolerance for that shit.
Y-Yearn (what is one thing that they want but can’t have?)
Ok this may be dark as hell but, Ace just wants to not feel like a burden to the world. He wants to be viewed as something different/separate from his father, but he can’t change history.
Z-Zero (what do they do/say in your dying moments?)
He doesn’t let you go. He’ll hold on to you until he is forcefully separated from your body. He just starts to spout a lot of nonsense – things don’t make sense at all, but he can’t help it right now. He can’t think properly when you’re about to leave him. He just wants you to stay.

OC/Bio
Tumblr media
Job: Assistant
Name: Ray
Age: 34
Gender: FTM
Devil fruit: Tori Tori No Mi mode Pigeon
From: North Blue
Crew: Whitebeard Pirates
Selfships with Marco [often as a poly with Ace]
---
Ray literally gave up everything, his house, his livelihood, everything so he could trade it for a devil fruit, he'd always longed for a tori tori no mi. He wanted to be able to fly, to adventure and just find himself out at sea. He was over joyed and didn't hesitate to eat the fruit. Any bird would have been good right? maybe a bird of prey, something that could fly forever.
He got the pigeon model and wasn't the happiest about it. He has a complex about being such a 'scabby little bird' but it was at least a bird that could fly.
He had been traveling from island to island in his bird form when a storm hit. Being flung across the ocean as a bird wasn't the most fun he'd ever had in his life, he tried to fly in his half and half form but he didn't fair any better.
Seeing a ship ahead he hoped for the best, hoped he could land on it, going back to full bird form. He was slammed against the mast of the Moby Dick and ended up half dead on the deck.
Ace was the one who found him, he asked Thatch if pigeon was edible and he wanted to try, would be a shame to waste a chance to try. Thatch happily informed him he could, some places treated it like a delicacy.
Marco managed to intervene, knowing that the bird was a devil fruit user, a zoan like him. Ray had tried to remain in bird form, be it very panicked at the thought these pirates were going to eat him. Marco urged him to transform, which is how the doctor knew he had a broken leg.
Taken into care by Marco and watched to make sure he wasn't a spy or someone who could cause his family danger. He helped nurse Ray back to health.
Their time together they'd formed a bond. Marco kept Ray's secret of not being illogically male from the rest of the crew, though later told Pops.
Becoming back of the crew seemed like the best option, safety, he got to travel, he felt accepting and loved by the crew. He'd already formed closed bonds with the doctor as well as some others.
He helped Marco with much more then that at least.
Marco showed him how to fight in harpy/half form, showing him how to use his talons and wings in a deadly way. He became Marco's assistant, his scared of needles and faint around blood assistant.
Ray also makes a good look out and a spy, he can fly ahead and check things out, alot more subtle then a big glowing blue bird.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
-Personalty-
Ray's personality is very 'here for a good time not a long time' and lacks alot of 'self preserving' qualities. Spontaneous and often crippled with indecision.
Dark humor, self deprecating humor. Sarcastic, quick witted, paranoid. Tends to get distant and standoff-ish if something is troubling him.
He's very chill, easy going, extroverted, enjoys being social and having a good time. But has a temper that can get the better of him. Probably a 0 to 30 in a matter of seconds depending on what you've done.
Tumblr media
-Looks-
Ray is only 5'2, pear shaped, still has breasts but carefully binded. Wide hips, round brown eyes, chubby thighs and tummy. Messy grey hair that has iridescent purple/pink/green parts when the light hits it. Just like pigeons. He wears an ankle cuff made of silver one one ankle, sandles, white T-shirt or tank top under patterned shirts. Often loud and ugly. Black rectangle framed glasses.
Looks like someone who is always on vacation but has a resting >/ face no matter how good of a mood he is in.
His bird form is a female wood pigeon.
His half and half form mostly has his tail, talons, huge wings but sometimes he had feathers along his arms because his thoughts jumble and he can't relax enough to be fully wings or fully arms, he's getting better at it.

Marco x Ray
They have a very laid back dynamic, they are what the other needs in a sense. Marco helps Ray when the self doubt and unhappy voices start to eat at him. Both zoans work well in an emotional and a working sense.
Ray tends to be the one to get Marco to say no to some of the more unreasonable requests he gets. They tend to spend their days together, working along side one another, in the same living space.
Marco confessed after sometime, just came out with it and Ray accepted. It wasn't a grand romantic thing, just something simple and heartfelt, under the stars as they messed around, teasing one another.
Marco can really keep Ray calm when the temper starts to flare. They enjoy being close behind closed doors, cuddling for hours, talking, they both have the same awful sleeping pattern.
They get one another to breath.
In public they are still the type to call one another pet names 'little bird' 'baby bird' 'chick' 'birdbrain' 'pineapple' 'palm tree' always with soft touches in passing.
Has alot of banter between them both, playful teasing, mostly about little things but Marco does somewhat like to gloat he's a phoenix.
Both love to go for flights with one another.

Sometimes he just lets Ace and Ray be erratic balls of energy even though Ace has a tendency to wear Ray out. Ray and Marco smother Ace with love and words of affirmation when he's also having bad days, Ace and Marco do the same for Ray.
Marco x Ray x Ace
Ray is the in-between of Marco and Ace. The middle int he age gap, temper, attitude. He balances out either side. Marco gets teased about his younger partners but he doesn't care, he doesn't look nor act his age, they keep him young and he keeps them from being disaster.
Their bed arrangements are always wild. In the cold weather Ace is in the middle, in hot weather Marco, Ray the rest of the time.

The dynamics of how each work paired off combined as a three mean it's for the most part very harmonious. Sometimes Ace and Ray get their tempers tangled, very passionate people.
Marco's the top
Ace the switch
Ray the bottom
Alot of love and care have been the foundation of this three. Understanding and patience.
Marco and Ace had been no stranger to one another in a on and off again sense but when Ace started to get feelings, some jealousy that the two people he had feelings for got closer and closer he happily barged in and was accepted.
