Roommaarriage
Luffy and Law live togheter.
They started living together after Luffy's older brother, Ace, decided to go on a trip around the world with his friends. Luffy was left alone and besides being terrible at taking care of himself, he hates loneliness.but none of his friends had space for him, already having their own roommates or living with their parents. So, Law proposes that they live together, he lives in a huge house and has a huge crush on Luffy, it doesn't hurt to help the guy he likes, even if it can cause a lot of headaches. and hes right, in less than a week everything is already a mess, Luffy's friends come to visit, everything is noisy and so chaotic in the house that used to always be quiet and peaceful.
Still, he persists, determined not to go back on his decision and simply kick Luffy out of the house. That's when everything gets confusing; Luffy was always clingy and honest with how he felt, but since he moved in with Law, this has become more frequent and more intense.He hugs Law in the morning when he wakes up, kisses him on the forehead to thank him for the food, he carries Law when he decides that Law has to sleep no matter what, he sits on Law's lap when they are watching TV, he goes to the hospital to remember Law of eating and worst of all: he often, all the time, at any time, in any place, on any occasion, tells Law that he loves him. And it just drives Law crazy. He knows it's not a lie, Luffy doesn't lie. Luffy loves him, it's just not the love Law wants it to be
All of their domesticity, all of their intimacy, all of it drives Law crazy. He wants all of it, but he also wants more. He is in love with Luffy and has no idea what to do, after all he doesn't want to just ruin their friendship and lose it all because of his greed. So, after months of freaking out about all this, he decides that what's best for everyone is if he puts some boundaries between them, draws a firm line between them, friendship, something less intimate and less...suggestive. something that allows him to sleep properly at night.
Meanwhile, Luffy is confused, Torao has been acting strangely, moving away from him, not letting him touch him or kiss him, almost like in the beginning, when he moved in and Law was still shy. Could this be what people call problems in paradise? WILL TORAO FILE FOR DIVORCE? And suddenly Law has Luffy's friends calling desperately wanting to know what happened? Why are they getting divorced so soon? Why is Luffy depressed about the end of their marriage? Why is the marriage ending in the first place???

You had one job.
It's to deliver Kento's lunch without being seen by him or talk with him since your ass thinks it's much convenient rather than arguing again. After all you turn silent whenever in front of a confrontation which Kento would always do like the mature man he is.
You had one job.
Literary one job, so why are you on his office's couch writhing with his head in between your thighs and a couple of bullet vibrators he managed to tape on your sensitive nipples
"still not gonna talk ha? Stubborn brat."
He muffled, sloppily sucking onto your clit that makes your back arched and your hips bucking up to his face practically humping his tongue. You huffed throwing your head back as you bit onto your fingers when he paused in the middle of you being on the edge. Completely denying you of your climax for the nth time, your cunt desperately clenching around nothing.
Kento is not the type of man to be physically affectionate in public, that's just not him but apparently he's the type to secretly fuck you on his office in the middle of the day the moment he saw how one of his employee eyed you down with that sundress.
"Nami- wait- Can't-" you can barely form coherent words when a knock on the door interrupted. Loud squelching remaining echoing through the room.
"oh so now you wanna talk? Too late doll. Come in." You push the edge of your sundress down, covering his head which causes him to chuckle. His hand sneakily grabs another bullet vibrator which he entered in your soaked walls. Your mind although fogged up from the ecstasy managed to glance as the door opened, his secretary shock and flustered immediately turn back.
"I said come in." With hesitation, his secretary entered, their gaze avoiding yours. Kento keeps his pace on your clit, together with the vibrations of the toys attached to you bringing you to pure ecstasy. Your crying, whimpering as you grip his hair pulling it which he didn't really care about, you just taste so divine..so addictive to think this is all his.
"sir- I uhh have gathered the papers that need your signature..I..have also contacted Mr. Yue from the.. Acnoba company and they agreed on testing and improving our new product with their help they wish to have a meeting with you tomorrow should I add it to your schedule?" His secretary's words blurred in with your noises, he so professionally pulled away keeping his thumb on your clit. His gaze never wavered from your poor quivering body, hungrily taking in the sight that intoxicates his mind.
"leave the papers on my desk, add the meeting with Mr. Yue to my schedule. Inform them that I am looking forward to collaborating with Acnoba and exploring the possibilities of improving our new product-" His words got cut off as you let out a whine when he swiftly took out the bullet vibrator from your cunt to your clit. His digits replace the toy relishing in on how you deliciously spasm around it relentlessly hitting that spot that makes your eyes roll back.
"also prepare the contract for the collaboration of the- oh." He turned silent as you arched your back hiding your face as you squirt all over him. From his fingers to his face... A second of silence passed, his secretary not being able to handle the situation excuse themselves.
"mmm, bad move doll."

#SUPER SHY
SYNOPSIS: their praises are just too much for you, but in their eyes, you're deserving of every last one of them, and more. CHARACTERS: SANJI, ZORO, & LUFFY WARNINGS: short headcanons, foul language with zoro bc it's zoro, duh! NOTE: @matsunok02 is the lovely person who requested this, but i can't tag you, so i hope this finds its way to you!
Tumblr media
SANJI:
your number one hypeman, no matter what.
you put in effort to dress up? he's going to lay down over muddy puddles so your new outfit won't get dirty.
you dressed down today? he's absolutely in awe of your 'effortless beauty', in his words.
when you shy away from compliments, it breaks his heart a little bit
he loves to talk and talk about you, so seeing that it might make you feel uncomfortable makes him rethink a little...
when he realizes it's because you feel undeserving?
he's not having it at ALL.
will make you do self-affirmations; he's not playing
"you're beautiful." "..." "well?" "i'm beautiful..." "I KNOW RIGHT?!"
he's kinda (really) annoying about it, but he's naturally cheesy so you gotta put up with it
and he doesn't limit himself to looks
no, he's ALL about you
you saved the crew's ass with a last minute strategy? you must be a genius!
and he goes into DETAIL
his strategy is mostly getting you used to compliments, so over time they don't feel so disconcerting to receive
if you're one of those people that deflects a compliment by complimenting someone back... he's gonna get you outta that habit
"look at you, i've got you all to myself? how luck-" "you look handsome too." "hm, i wasn't done. let's try that again."
and once you gain confidence around him? he's going insane.
something about your shy smile gets him GOING.
"you're an angel." "thank you, sanji." "ohmygodyou'resosexy."
10/10 confidence booster, might call you cringe petnames but worth it
Tumblr media
ZORO
tbh... zoro isn't one for compliments
but he's honest, a man of his word
so if a shirt is unflattering, trust me he'll say "that shirt's ugly as shit"
you ask him how something looks on you really often
he might be saying "DAMN" in his head
his heart's pounding, he's having a coughing attack, he feels lightheaded, and suddenly he's losing grip on his swords...
but out loud? you're getting a "looks nice"
not even a full sentence, sorry
you'll probably hear more skill-based compliments
imagine the crew's celebrating a successful trip with a round of drinks and they're about to make a toast for you
(bc you kicked ass)
and you try to push the credit onto SOMEONE ELSE?
he's ready to fight you
"luffy tripped over his own feet and face planted, sanji missed a kick and started spinning, chopper and ussop fell overboard, nami steered us until we almost tipped over, robin got locked in a storage room, and i almost drowned. give yourself some credit."
now wtf are you gonna answer to that? nothing... so as everyone else is laughing and retelling their stories, he just brings his bottle close to yours, "cheers."
tough love
but he's so serious. you work hard for your acheivements, so if you won't recognize them yourself, he will.
now if you're tryna get a compliment compliment from him?
drunk zoro
he's like 1 shot away from passing out, slurring his words and all
"hmm? oh, where'd y'get that? s'pretty, yeah."
"that smile's gonna kill me one day."
"shit, y'look cute."
"fuck, don't look t'me like that."
yeah, alcohol is his worst enemy.
in the end, he mostly just shows you how he feels through actions LOL...
Tumblr media
LUFFY
oh, he's completely unaware
but he's always tryna hype everyone up, and you're not an exception
will ALWAYS compliment you after a fight against the marines
"you did really well out there, let's get a meal to celebrate!"
if you go, "i was kinda useless, i don't know"
he's like "???"
just take the compliment because he's genuinely concerned and will argue with you until you give up
"what do you mean?" "it wasn't my best" "which means you're amazing even when you're not trying?" "oh" "yeah! cmon lets eat!"
if you compliment him, it turns into a competition
"i like your shirt, luffy." "thanks, yours is cute too!" "well, i think it goes nicely with your hat." "i think yours goes well with your shoes." "have you been working out more?" "i have, did you paint your nails a new color? they look cool!"...
yeah, it's never ending bc he doesnt know how to stfu
but trust, you'll never feel like luffy's lying to make you feel better
he's got a way with words when hes not being idiotic
"y'know, you're the kindest person i've met. i'm so lucky to have you next to me."
LIKE DAMNNN why are we being poetic
but if luffy's anything, he's genuine
so trust that the big stupid smile on his face when he sees you is something he cannot hold back
"why're you smiling like that?" "just happy to see you!"
and you're getting tackled to the ground
he doesn't expect anything back when he praises you, he does it because he feels like it
just don't try to deny it because he will NOT allow anyone, including you, to slander your name
also, whatever captain says goes
so if he says you're the bravest, prettiest, nicest, least smelly person in the entirety of the sea, it's true
Tumblr media
just something quick to put out ><

put a ring on it (Zoro x Reader)
A/N: We're back with another Zoro fanfic.
genre: fluff
"All I'm saying that you should put a ring on it." Sanji sighs as Zoro downs another bottle of sake. "You're married to Y/N."
"Yeah. I'm married to her." Zoro replied. "Why are you so worked up about it?"
"Because you can't just say that she's your wife without putting a ring on it." Sanji exclaims. "After that covert mission you two went, she declared as your husband just not to raise any suspicions and You just went along with it.".
"I mean she is my wife." Zoro clarifies. "What's your problem curly brows."
"No she's not." Sanji interjects. "You two haven't been married. You haven't even proposed to her."
"What's the point of having a marriage proposal?" Zoro stands up. "I love her. That's already enough."
The two continued to argue until you entered the kitchen, they immediately halted their arguement and you raised an eyebrow. "Sanji, Nami told me that you'll need to restock on food? We've already arrived at the island."
Sanji smiled and sneered at Zoro who was back drinking his sake. "Thanks for letting me know, Y/N." You nodded and sat beside Zoro. "Care to share your little arguement babe?"
"Its just a trivial matter." He sighs, putting down his bottle. "Nothing to worry about."
You only smiled and ruffled his hair and made your way out. "I'll also be going to the island. Need anything?"
"Nope." He smirked looking at you as you stand near the doorway.
"I'll buy some good sake if I can find one." You winked and exited the kitchen. "Don't miss me too much."
You left the room and Zoro planted his face on the kitchen counter. "Stupid lovecook. What's the point of ring?"
___
You made your way to the island and see a town up ahead. You decided to check out some books since you've read all of the books at the ship. You noticed a pile of books and reached one of them.
"To love." You read the book title and skimmed through the pages. "What a weird title..."
"Oh, you picked a good book." An old woman approaches you. "You've got a good eye."
You smiled and placed the book back into the pile. "I mean what's the story all about?"
"It was all about two lovers, the guy went such lengths to prove his love towards his lover." The old woman explains. "I don't want to go into further detail but you'll love it."
You raised an eyebrow and stared at the book. "I mean... Okay? I'll take it."
The old woman was delighted at your response. "Wonderful, take it. No need to pay, its on me."
You smiled and took the book with you and continued to venture around the town.
Hours after, you returned to the ship and Zoro greets you. "Had fun?" You nodded and gave him a bottle of sake.
"Yeah, managed to find a book." You hummed as Zoro takes a sip from the bottle.
"That's some good sake." He smiled and looks over at your book. "You usually go for historical books. That's new of you."
You scratched your head and laughed it off. "The shop owner said that this is a good book. I'll trust her judgement." You smiled and find a good spot to start reading.
____
Days had passed and you're glued to reading the book. Zoro had noticed it too. You've carried it everywhere. The shopkeeper was right, it was a good book. The trials that the male lover had to go through to prove his love kept you on wondering. Until you were down to the last few chapters of the book. You were sitting at the kitchen, still reading. Sanji was meal prepping and Zoro was drinking his sake. You could hear their bickering over something but you didn't really mind it. You read over a passage where the male lover didn't even bothered of proposing to his lover, despite how much his lover adored and also went great lengths to prove her love to him.
"Oh come on just propose!" You shouted referring to the book. Sanji stopped chopping and Zoro choked on his drink. "I mean, you two love each other. A ring perfectly symbolizes their declaration of love."
Sanji snickered and saw Zoro catching his breath. He mouths at him 'I told you so.' You looked up and see them both lost and you covered your face in embarrassment. "I'm sorry I said that out loud. I got a bit pissed."
Sanji laughs while Zoro remained silent. "Still glued to the book?" You nodded and told him that you're almost done reading. You excused yourself out of the kitchen.
You left and Sanji bursts out laughing. "I told you to propose to her."
Zoro looks at Sanji, pissed at him. "It's just a damn book. Give me a break love cook."
____
You entered at the ship's aquarium bar and continued on reading. Hours had passed and you didn't noticed that night had fallen. Zoro found you and you were still glued to reading the book. He sighed and sat beside you. "Still not done reading?"
You only hummed in response. "I just need to finish the book." Zoro smiled and intertwines his fingers to yours and glances at you every now and then. You took notice of your husband's glances.
"You've been stealing glances, babe. Mind sharing?" You asked, still reading the book.
"That book of yours... what are your thoughts about it?" He asks. You paused your reading and looked at him. "You've been reading it for the past week."
"I mean... its good. I just don't understand why the guy haven't proposed to his lover yet. They already proved their love and declared it but..." You sighed. "Its a woman's dream to be proposed by their lover."
Zoro saw a hint of sadness in your eyes as he also remembers that you two haven't made things official. Even though you called each other as husband and wife. You sighed and smiled back at him. "I guess the guy had his reasons. But I just hope he'll take the hint." You continued on reading and Zoro stayed silent as he holds you close. You managed to finish reading the entire book and you just fell asleep in Zoro's arms.
"Guess I should also make my move too." He smiles and kisses on your forehead.
____
A month just passed and Zoro had been acting weird lately. Everytime the ship arrives on a new island, he quickly goes to town. This was nothing like him since he usually doesn't want to venture around town. You tried to ask the crew what's up with him and they also have no clue. You decided to confront him one night.
You climbed up to the Crow's Nest and see Zoro looking out to the sea.
"Zoro, you've been acting weird lately." You said which made him startled a bit. "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong." He replied. "I mean, it is but I don't know."
You approached him and sat beside him. The both of you looked at each other's eyes. "I mean, I guess I messed up."
You were confused at Zoro's statement. "To us?" He nodded. "Babe, you didn't messed up anything."
"I did." He took my hands and bend on one knee. "I should've done this a long time ago." He took out a velvet box and sees a pair of silver rings.
"You've tolerated me and showered me with your love." He looks up to you. "I'm lucky to have you, Y/N. Will you marry me?"
Tears started to fall. You weren't expecting Zoro to propose. You knew he has a different way of showing his love. You tried to talked but you were overwhelmed with emotions. You mouthed to him, 'Yes', he smiled and puts on the ring on your finger and kisses your hand. You hugged him and started to kiss him.
Zoro laughs and hugs you back. "I love you." He whispered to your ear.
"I thought you hated the idea of proposals." You break away from his embrace.
"Well, the crew told me that I should do it properly." He blushed. "I was about to shrug it off, but when you also shared your thoughts. I decided to give it a go."
"But..." Zoro kissed you as you tried to make your rebuttal.
"Woman, you drive me crazy. Just enough to make me propose to you." He laughed and places a kiss on your forehead. "And its worth it."
You smiled and picked up the other ring from the box and slid into your lover's fingers. You smiled as the two of you intertwined your fingers and shared another kiss.

Hello hello! I’ve been really enjoying reading your writing and saw that your requests were open! (:
May I request Zoro, Usopp + a character of your choice (even if it’s nobody) with a gn! s/o who has no sense of danger? They just enjoy the excitement of adventure and rush into things with no thought ~
Thank you in advance if you decide to take my request !
Thank you for requesting 💖😚 I love this request fr,been in my draft for few months I'm sorry for that
Tags: not proof read, fluff, reckless behaviors,making up plots as I write
Tumblr media
Zoro & Usopp & Trafalgar law with a gn!s/o with no sense of danger
Tumblr media
Zoro
You're like Luffy but worse because unlike Luffy you're smart and still choose to walk right through the danger of life without a blink of an eye
But lucky for you ! Zoro is built different (kinda himbo ngl) and he will walk through danger with you with no thought too because someone gotta keep you safe while you walk into the most obvious death trap ever
He will always keep an eye on you ,just to make sure you don't get yourself into trouble,but just like Luffy you wander off on your own ,he goes after you (he get lost in his way to find you) and then he find you fighting some marine captain at a bar for some animal crackers
He so chill with you because years of begin with Luffy had made him immune to no sense of danger (he is also like you too so he doesn't mind it much)
He really like your fearless side ,you could get into the wildest most dangerous situation and you would still have your smile ,he admire that about you a lot
"(y/n) nami told us to stay low" Zoro grumble as he carry you under his arm and run from the marine troops running after you two "yeah but he was a dick to the waitress AND tried hitting on me" you defend yourself, Zoro shakes his head "...you got yourself a point but I'm not taking the blame when we reach the ship,you will !" Zoro says as he run down some alleyway to hide from the Marines,he can't help but smile at the fact you still trying to get free to fight the Marines...ah yeah he is a bit more in love with you because he want to do that too but for once he gotta put your safety before his hunger for a good fight...
He will try his best to let you be doing your adventures safely,he is strong and can protect you well but eh if only he wasn't so bad at actually stopping you from doing reckless things
He will agree to anything reckless you want to do because he Is just...he think it's a good idea? Why not fight a whole troop on your own with him? Both of you are capable???? He doesn't see why everyone think that's dangerous
He is your ride or die for real,he would go down with you with anything without a thought usually,he might argue for like one minute then he would give in Because he think you got a valid point
he might be Stern with you sometimes to make sure you don't harm yourself though , putting yourself in harm is his last thing on his list (still on the list tho)
He enjoys your spirit, quality time with you always lead to him learning new things about himself like he could fight five crocodiles to grab you from an untimely death
He is a 10/10 boyfriend, would help you invade a country if you asked enough
Tumblr media
Law
Law sometimes wonder how you both Ended up together, you are the complete opposite from him ,you rush into things ,you are reckless,you don't care for danger
But again you're the reason why he is able to do so many new things ,explore new island and get into some questionable situations
"(y/n)-ya....where were you..and why are you holding a Capybara?" Law asks as he stand on the deck of the Polar Tang,you are standing on the sand as you look at the decked submarine ship "oh yeah,see I went to explore the island with bepo and then I have seen some guy,see the guy called himself the capybara king and he was terrorizing the people of the island,turning them into capybara and I had to fight him and yeah I kinda lost the fight..... and I need your help" you tell him and law rub his temple,so tiredly "we shouldn't care it's not our business,we should leave,get Bepo and let's leave the island" law says sternly and you smiles sheepishly "ahhhh..this is Bepo though,he turned him into a Capybara cuz he took the fall instead of me..."
Law left eye twitch slightly as he grab his sword ".....alright show me where is that bastard ,I will deal with him and then we are leaving and you are grounded for the next month"
You are the reason why he partly have anxiety from new places ,please stop getting into dangerous situation the moment your foot hit an island
He is this close ".." on just starting to put you on those kid leashes before going anywhere,just so you don't wander off somewhere and end up liberating some island by accident
He appreciates your fearlessness yet it make him worry so much about you,please Just stop trying to have some new adventure he know you're a Pirate but You are not immune to injuries
He patch you up after every adventure you end injured from ,he is always glued to you after that ,making sure you don't leave his sight
The crew have a chart for watching (baby sitting) you duty ,they all trying to help law not get grey hair before his thirties by watching over you before you end up somewhere you are not supposed to be
Law still loves you though,your energy is a fresh breath of air in his life even if you always acting so recklessly ,he still adores you
Will try to explore with you sometimes in hope to keep you entertained and safe (you end up finding the one piece I swear)
6.4/10 boyfriend , would stop you from doing a lot of dangerous things ,but sometimes he will watches you do dumb reckless things just to see you come to ask him for help ,it's his favorite routine in a way
Tumblr media
Usopp
Every night ,he pray to god that you stop trying to do these dangerous adventures because you always end up dragging him with you ,bless your heart your idea of fun is like active suicide activities in his eyes
He loves you truly but he can so much play brave in face of death,you are like Luffy (but without the plot armor) and he worry sick for you whenever he sees you wander off to your new adventure whenever you reach a new island ,and so much against his own self preservation..he follows you
"my love... I'm pretty I saw Marines camping nearby" Usopp mumble as he hold your hand, walking with you,you have no care in the world as you walk " oh yeah I know,I already burnt Thier camp, they won't bother us for a while while we gather what we need " Usopp felt his eyes jump from his skull '' YOU DID WHAT?"
" oh damn is that judgement??? Uso! I was keeping us safe,beside I made sure no one was inside ya know,it will be more calm for us to walk!" You explains to him and he sighs deeply,your intentions are pure yet your action was what he could describe,a crackhead level plan "we will have to deal with angry marines when they discover what you did ,they will probably call for backup"
You shake your head with a little mischievous grin " they won't be able to,I took all Thier den den mushi mushi " you tell him as you show him your bag,and it was true it was filled with transport snails different shapes and looks very relaxed as they eat a.. cabbage? Do you keep cabbages in your backbag?
"....alright I guess you...really thought this out" Usopp mumble nervously,failing to see that one of the snails look like it belonged to a certain golden suit admiral...he trust you enough to not be that foolish..but you are unfortunately and he is in love with you..
Always have a mini heart attack because of you,have mercy on his soul he will have a heart condition because of reckless you can be combined with Luffy own recklessness,how did he end up having to be with two reckless people in the same crew???
He tries his best to district you off any dangerous situation,so you don't jump at it ,just like with Luffy ,he would gaslight you into NOT going to the dangerous Island because no we didn't just go pass it please don't tell Luffy about it
You are Chaotic good,which he appreciates you are not doing all that out of idiocy (like Luffy) but sheer curiosity and wanting to explore ,it's cute
He singlehandedly saved you 68836 times by begin the voice of reason for you and you listen to him because you love him
He would save you if you need saving ,he would man up for you just to save you and you would appreciate him and love him-at least that what he thinks he want to do, usually you end up saving him ngl
You and him are the polar opposite yet mash together so well,you still listen to him when things get serious and he still let you go apeshit when he notices you needing to let your energy out
He still adores you anyway, because after you get tired from getting into so much adventures ,you cuddle to him like a little cat and he goes through 7737 stage of happiness while biting his hand to not wake you up
You're so precious to him in general even if he is pretty sure he is getting white hair because of you
10/10 boyfriend ngl , would try to stop you but fails miserably and end up joining you,is good at lying his ass and getting you both out of trouble so good for you ngl

Hey i saw your post about wanting to do some law fics and i had an idea how about a law x fem or gn reader that is a excellent sworddswomen and can take out someone even with their sheth still on! ( like kagra from fairy tail the anime) but the catch is that when not fight shes super awkward and shy and flustered with him (because he saved her and she attracted to him and his character)Also could the fic being about their first meeting like asking her to join his crew and after time becoming a thing and going to dressrosa together, it could start with law telling the straw hats how they met
(Sorry i know thats a lot but i’ve had this idea for while now and would really appreciate it you can do it but its too much please let me know i dont want pressure you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)
Hi!!! Thank you so much for requesting. I'm super nervous to write about Law, but this is a really nice prompt to use. Plus, I'm so stoked that you referenced Kagura! I love Fairy Tail; that was the first fandom I wrote about when I was younger lol. I'm going to try to incorporate everything you wrote. I hope you enjoy it~
She's Just Shy, ok...- Law x F!Reader
CW: Fluff, canon au, nongraphic action, awkward reader (mood)
In hindsight, Law should have realized he wasn't lucky enough to have a normal person on his crew...but she was special to say the least...not that he would say it.
Law was trying his hardest to not break his mug as he watched you going at it with the Strawhat's swordsman. It was his fault though. He had been too deep into his studies and planning, so after continuously rejecting Zoro for a sparring match, it made sense that he would go after you. You were more of a challenge really. Law flexed that strength of his sword at any hint of danger, but you, oh, you weren't bothered by any threats at all. Few could tell the story of seeing your blade at all. A swordman's that used only her sheath, yeah Zoro would be all over that.
"TRA!!!"
Law nearly jumped out his skin when Luffy appeared hanging upside down from a rail. He grumbled into his mug. "What!"
He only laughed. "Y/n is so cool~ I bet Zoro is happy to have a strong person to fight with." he grinned. Law only grunted. "Hmm, maybe she could join my crew. OI! Zoro! Ask Y/n to-," Luffy groaned after being hit upside his head. "Nami! What was that for?"
The navigator rolled her eyes. "You can't go trying to steal people's crew members. What if someone tried to recruit Zoro?"
Luffy understood her point but still whined. "But she's so strong~ Zoro would like it!"
"She's not a pet!" Law argued back.
Luffy laughed. "Ooo, what about a competition! Y/N, would you join my crew if I beat Toroa at a game?"
You skidded across the floor and smiled at the goofy captain. "Sorry Lu-chan, I can't leave my captain yet." she beamed even as she blocked an attack from Zoro without looking. "I owe him too much." she grinned before turning her attention back to her opponent while Sanji threatened to starve Zoro if he so much as got a cut on your skin.
Luffy pouted. "Boo, I want her..."
"Be nice captain." Robin lightly chided. She turned to the doctor. "I am curious though. How did you two meet, Tra-guy?"
Your ears picked up the question. "Cap-captain, no! Don't tell them!" you nervously stammered and waved your hands.
Zoro raised a brow. "Why not? Couldn't be that bad." he grabbed a towel and tossed it to you. You wiped your face, neck, and bosom. He gulped down some water.
Seeing that your attention was back on him, Law relaxed a little. "It's nothing dramatic." he grumbled. "More embarrassing for me really..." he muttered.
"Huh???" everyone asked. For the doctor to admit that and not hold back was certainly something.
Law reclined back and spread his arms out. "I needed some assistance..."
~~~
You were finally able to relax and enjoy the warm weather after spending the morning training. Sitting and meditating was a great way for you to recenter before continuing about your day. You found a nice tree and were wrapping up when a heard some loud commotion nearby.
You opened your eyes to see a group of shady-looking men running away. A few moments later, an anxious looking polar bear was running around searching while tears seemed to be flowing from his eyes. You cocked your head to the side curiously. The polar bear cried out. "Captain is going to kill me!!!"
His uniform seemed to be unique enough from the townspeople, but not quite individualistic. You stood up and stretched. You weren't sure what to do about what you saw and decided to head back to your solitary home in the woods.
You left the busier town and continued walking casually in the woods. You knew this path well seeing as this was your childhood area filled with palm trees and secret waterfalls. You neared the summit of a hill and tensed as you felt an odd, distinct air. You dodged a knife thrown at your head and rested your hand on your sword.
A few of those men from before jumped out of the bushes. "Hehe, seems the rumors were true. What is a woman like you doing with that on your hip?"
"Looks expensive too." another added.
You met their greedy gaze with little interest. So they're robbers. You took a couple steps forward dismissively before they jumped to attack. You quickly reacted and swung your body around to dodge. You shifted on one foot before swinging the other to land in one guy's face. It would have been an easy conflict except more men appeared.
You grumbled before tying up your hair and pulling your sword from your waist.
"You got some moves, missy. But now we really know you don't need that sword. Those work better when they're out of their sheaths." he commented rudely.
You took an offensive stance and dashed to quickly to slice the shocked robbers. It only took a couple slashes or two before each man fell to the ground with serious wounds. You rolled your shoulders before sighing. You just saw them not so long ago, so their stolen goods were probably still on them. You peaked in a couple bushes before pulling out a long sword. It was heavy in your hand. You wondered how hard it would be to find its owner. Oh maybe, that polar bear would know. You continued to admire the blade when you felt the air shift once more. You turned around to see a man bring up a large hammer to swing at you. You tensed to move, but-
"Room."
An odd light feeling surrounded you for a second before you were in the grasp of a stranger. You looked up confusingly as someone could just hold you with one arm then watched as the man froze. "You're- you're-, you're the Surgeon of Death!" the man only tch-ed at the accusation before rotating his hands and muttered. "Shambles."
You watched in shocked as the various men's body parts were dismembered before shuffling around and mixing with each other. Most of them were still knocked out though and wouldn't realize the uncanny circumstance until they woke up.
The man gently placed you down and you clenched onto the sword while bowing. "Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I should have totally seen that coming. How embarrassing!" the words blurted from your mouth.
The man's gold eyes looked at you with uncertainty. "Don't mention it..." he paused before reaching his hand out, "my sword, please."
You looked at his hand then clenched tighter on the sword. "Oh, huh, is this your sword?" you laughed awkwardly. "Oh jeez, heh, sorry here-,"
"Captain!!!" a high-pitched voice echoed up the hill before the polar bear from before appeared with tears still flowing.
You brightened! "Oh bear-chan!"
The bear stopped and looked at you. He immediately took a defensive karate pose in front of the man. "Did you take my captain's sword! You- you-, woman! I'll"
"Bepo," the man interjected annoyed. "This woman just defeated these robbers. Show her a little respect." The other immediately dropped his pose before bowing.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Thank you for recovering, Kikuko!"
You scratched your cheek awkwardly and waved your hand. "Ah no problem at all. He saved my life!" you then turned and finally handed back the sword. "Thank you, again." you bowed. You straightened up. "I'm y/n."
The man seemed to relax more with the sword at his side finally. "Trafalgar Law. I'm sorry if we caused you trouble." he looked at his subordinate. "My sword was taken away while he was on watch."
"I'm sorry, Captain."
"Tch, this is why I don't take naps..." Law muttered. "We'll leave now. I don't want to bother you more."
"Wait!" you called out. "I have to repay you! That guy nearly took off your head."
Law shook his head. "If anything, we're even. I saw how you fought; you would have been fine."
Your face warmed at the compliment. "No, I insist!" Law seemed to see your stubbornness despite the flustered appearance.
"Fine."
....
Law should have known better than to get his hopes up at your seemingly normal appearance. After meeting you a couple times while at your island, you proved to have a formidable reputation that had the Marines constantly trying to recruit you though you continued to reject them. As you two got along, you were amazed by Law and his crew's tales of travels and adventure. You recalled all the commotion that happened when the Worst Generation was at Sabody as well as the Marineford War. You never planned on being a pirate necessarily, but you had your own goals that meant you needed to leave home.
Law didn't know why you were so nervous to speak to him all the time, so he was shocked when you were able to as him to join his crew without a stutter. He wasn't sure what to think. You were strong and smart. And as much as he thought that another mouth to feed would be a bother, he couldn't deny that you would be a good addition. He'd hope that you at least learn to hold a conversation with him without playing with your hands.
~~~
"Law!!! You're so mean!" you wailed as you pushed your chest against the back of his head. He immediately blushed and tried to push you off. "I'm so embarrassed!" you clung onto him.
"Oh my god, I don't know why!" Law argued. You continued to fuss and Law shyly babied you in his arms.
The Strawhats were shocked by the softer scene in front of them. "He's surprisingly soft..." Robin noted.
Luffy groaned. "Oh boo, Tra is so lucky. No way she'll join us now." For some reason, he understood now.
~~~
*sprinkles in some slight jealousy because we like that here.* Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it @dancingnewcat Please let me know how it is. I'm so happy to finally get a request~
Until next time~

Thinking about Sanji in alabasta culture like their clothes because vivi looked gorgeous in hers
Like would he still wear tight suits or maybe also have some flowy colourfull clothes in the mix??
Also would the strawhats even know his relation with vivi?? Or are they just like 'Oh he's just a guard with a big mouth' honestly so funny with nami as well, she really doesnt get why sanjis so invested into making sure she treats vivi right but i guess its bc hes a guard??!
He absolutely would wear more clothes from his homeland. All the flowing fabrics and robes. He still wears his suits but they are definitely intermixed with clothes from what he considers his homeland.He wears the family insignia as well as his and Vivi's, just to take more of his home with him.
Luffy probably knows, Robin definitely knows that he is prince of Alabasta and second in line to the throne. Everyone else just thinks he's a guard dog with a mouth too big and for some reason Igaram only half heartedly argues with him. Nami wants to know why he's nudging her and what he's saying to Vivi to make her flush like that, she wants to make Vivi that red. It's a need basically. Also the shovel talk he gives Nami isn't that deep, but he does mention deserts are good for bleaching bones and Vivi screams at him for that.
Also you know how Vivi gets kidnapped and Cobra dies? After Sanji and Zoro fight he's still insistent on getting Vivi or he'll leave and do it himself. Everyone but Robin and maybe Luffy asking why so Sanji bows to them.
"Allow me to finally introduce myself properly, I'm Nefertari D. Sanji, first prince and second to the throne of Alabasta." Sanji grins at them as he stands straight.
"Wait, hold on-"
"No, that can't be right-"
"What the fuck-"
"Why are you second to the throne if you're older than Vivi?" Luffy asks over the rest of the crew who knew Vivi.
"Oh, I was adopted after she was born." Sanji waves off. "Judge basically sold his rights to me for nothing."
"So you're part of the thanks from Alabasta?" Usopp asks with a shaking voice.
"Oh, no. I'm here because I want to be, but I can't be here if I have to go rule Alabasta." Sanji assures him.
"Well I guess we gotta save Vivi so we still have a cook." Luffy laughs.

No, but like, WHY do people care so much about other people ship preferences?
I get it, I don't ship the obvious ones or the "right" or what was given to me by the author, but IS JUST A SHIP.
Look, don't get me wrong, I'm not angry at other preferences when it comes to this. What I get annoyed at is that when there is an illustration, an edit, a fucking fic, any kind of media, that shows that romantic dynamic between the characters they will be like
"siblings 🩷" "omg no how could ship that? They aren't like that." "Have you read the books ?" "Omg, people actually ship them?" "The author said..." "omg but this (name of other ship), it's so much better," and so on.
My beautiful person who comments in every edit of (some examples, but I'm sure that there's more) harmony, lunami, zutara, sasusaku .... do you really think that they/we don't know or care about this ? Do you know what you look like when u comment stuff like that? An idiot who can't let others have a different opinion on literally fiction character's romance life, like that one kid in kindergarten who saw another kid getting a toy and go's on about how that toy is lame compared to theirs, a spoiled brat.
You have so many things to be arguing about in the actual plot, but you can't cus you think that the idea of nami and luffy together is so wrong that you go around in every media of them "oda said..." But with other members of the crew, oda said absolutely nothing... not only that, but are we really discussing this ? Can we be talking about I don't know... how racist and hypocrites are some people in this famdon? Really give your disappointment and disgust to that(what is actually important).
Harry and Hermione are another great example of "I know they aren't like that but I like the idea of it" WE KNOW THEY AREN'T LIKE THAT but we think is cute it could HAVE BEING cute, sometimes people just grow up shipping and seeing they as a possible couple, like people who grow hating sakura and now simply can't have a actually good argument of why she should be hated on... that was an ironic comment by the way but also not, ( no, her not liking the main character the same way shouldn't be one, or the author not giving her screen time either much less cus of the fact the the anime did her dirty with so much disconnect things from the manga, like her relationship with sasuke <his perspective of it > or naruto himself for that matter, hate on a literally 12 years old for saying shit that every fucking person in the village grew up thinking, funny, why not hate on the thirdkage then? The person who could have actually stopped the hate on a little kid) [Sorry that got out of the main point]
Or zutara, my God, people get personal with just as harmony, relax, just cus I like them doesn't mean I hate kataang, surprise or not I do think they are indeed very cute, I'm pretty sure some other people who ship zutara too... we just see the potential, what could have happened, once again, enemies to friends to loves, the plot, you know ? There is no need to get offended by the IDEA of it. We love the drama and the fic, the illustrations, the edits are just a format that represents and shows it, share if people who likes it, you don't like it ? Oh well, let me tell you a secret, ignore it, you probably ignore so much more important things, why not a fucking edit of ship you don't even like ?, oh you can't ? You can't see other people "toy" and shut about your disappointment on it, is it that hard ?, oh well, have you actually not known that there's an amazing thing within social media, when you hold/press or simply click on the 3 dots on the top of the post, there's a option there, that's right, BLOCK IT the algorithm will understand if you continue blocking it, unlike some people.
I'm just rambling about this because I'm sick and tired of people being such a killjoy, I just want to enjoy "my ship" and see the comments of people who actually likes it to, not yours "siblings 🩷" in post which is definitely not about that, or "oda said..." when i didn't ask what he said, you know people have different things that brings them a scape from reality that brings them a funny giggle (no killing others people joy, when it's such a basic no harmful thing), wave of emotion for those who don't get to feel much in the day-to-day life or simple just cus.
It just petty of you, be better.
Ps.. There is no offense for those who ship other characters within these plots(or different ones), original, popular, or unpopular. Do your thing. Be happy. Just don't spoil others.
Ps2... NO I'm not defending incest that's no it at fucking all ( sorry if I didn't make it clear). I said "siblings" when it came to lunami and Harry x Hermione (cus people like to comment that on posts that aren't even about it < the platonic soul mates comment>), they AREN'T related or grown up at such. Point is you hating the idea of it and going on every post about the ship and hating there. hate all you want, but not on ,obviously, posts that are for the fans of the ship.

Sinking into the warm bubble filled water you let out a sigh of relief, the heat helps relax your muscles while the smell of lavender helps relax your mind, tying your already washed and wet hair up into a bun you sink down further into the water feeling some of the bubbles touch your chin. You waited until Nami and Robin had their bath before starting yours and washing your hair in the shower so there's no rush to get out, all you have to do is sit back, relax and wait for your boys to join you. The sound of the waves and birds singing outside makes you hum in delight realizing this is the first time in a few days that you've actually felt safe and relaxed while being in the bathroom, normally you would be checking the lock on the door but today you left it unlocked knowing only Zoro and Sanji will be walking though it. As that thought crosses your mind the door clicks open making you lazily sit up and turn to see your two boys walk in, both with towels around their waists. "Hay babe" The swordsman greets with a grin starting to walk over to you, closely followed by Sanji who's eyes turn soft and loving at seeing you. "You look beautiful" The cooks eyes trails across your face and bubble covered shoulders making you blush a little while resting your arms on the edge of the bath giving him a loving look, you go to compliment the two back when you notice Zoro's blood covered arms, its clear he's tried to wash it off in the sink or something but there's still specks of dried blood and a slight redness to his skin, Sanji on the other hand has no sign of blood on him but his hair is a mess and in clear need of a good wash.
Noticing your slightly surprised face the swordsman sighs looking down at his arms "Don't worry, i didn't kill him" giving him a warm smile you lean up as he leans down to place a firm kiss on your lips "Yea but i had to hold you back a few times" The cook groans crossing his arms over his chest, he thought he knew what he was getting into but Zoro was even more angry and murderous than he could ever imagine. The swordsman chuckles pulling away from you to look at the blonde and nudge his arm "Hay, you offered" Sanji growls wanting to yell at the green haired man but can't since he's right, although he'll never say it, Zoro goes to step into the water only to get grabbed by the cook who pulls him back "What the hell are you doing, moss head? You've still got blood on you, get a shower" Biting your tongue you try not to laugh as the two start to argue getting in each others faces until Sanji grabs the swordsman by the ear dragging him over to the showers and helping wash off the dried blood on his arm, their argument died down, soon turning into grumbles and growls until the water ran clear "Now you can get in the bath" Sanji smirks before slapping the green haired man on the butt, slapping a hand over your mouth as to not laugh out loud you watch as Zoro's eyes widen and his head slowly turn to look directly at the cook who lets out a nervous laugh while putting his hands up in defense. Before the blonde can utter a work the swordsman grabs his wrists pulling them up above his head while forcing his partner's back into the cold tile wall "Oh you've done it how curly brows" Zoro smirks before crashing his lips onto the blondes and forcing his tongue in to explore his partners mouth earning a surprised hum.
Sanji soon relaxes into the strong kiss while trying to gain some kind of control but the swordsman doesn't let him, keeping a firm grip on the cook's wrist pinning them to the wall until he has to pull away for air, both panting and slightly red-faced the two smirk at each other as Zoro loosens his grip to slide his hands down the blondes arms and to his waist "Now you can get bath" The swordsman mocks pushing away to head back over to the bath, shaking your head in amusement you go back to sitting with your back to the bath as both boys make their way over, remove their towels and get into the water either side of you. Sanji's face is still very red unsure of how to react after what just happened, but he can't help the smile thats on his face as he sinks down into the water until it hits his shoulders, Zoro wraps his arm around your shoulders pulling you into his side while placing a kiss on your head which you lean into. "You ok there hun?" You ask the cook with a giggle while running your hand through his hair to get some of it out of his face managing to make out his tomato red face, all the blushing blonde can do is hum in response making the swordsman laugh and lean over to pat the cooks exploded knee thats just sticking out of the water "At least you enjoyed it" He chuckles watching as Sanji turns redder starting to slide further down to where the water just covers his lips hoping the bubbles with cover up his face. Deciding to help the poor blonde out by distracting your green haired lover you grab the soap and turn to Zoro "Come on hunk, let me get your back, I'll rub your shoulders for you" removing his arm from you the swordsman turns his back to you letting you rub the soap over his back while massaging his back and shoulders.
Small hums and sighs of relief and relaxation leave Zoro's mouth feeling you getting out the knots in his shoulders managing to take away the tension thats normally there. During this time Sanji has time to calm down, letting his blush fade and mind go back to normal soon sitting back up and brushing off the bubbles that cling to his skin, grabbing the soap he scoots closer to you starting to wash your back for you. "Thank you my love" The cook whispers in your ear before placing a kiss just below it glad that you gave him a moment to calm down, leaning back into him while your thumbs still rub circles into Zoro's shoulder blades you turn your head slightly to see him "Your welcome hun but i think i deserve something in return" You whisper back with a cheeky smile, getting the message Sanji leans around you while wrapping his arms around your waist to keep your back as close to his chest as possible, placing a light kiss on your lips the cook hums into you before brushing his tongue over your lover lip asking for more. Turning slightly in his grip you happily open your mouth for him managing to get a better angle so the two of you have more coverage, his tongue meets yours as your lips move in sink slowly drawing it out to enjoy the feeling of each other and the heat forming in your chests. Parting for air the two of you use each other for support while trying to catch your breath "Your a great multitasker babe" Zoro chuckles turning slightly to see the two of you, releasing his shoulders you lightly hit his back with a playful glare.
Sanji soon lets you go starting to wash your back like he intended to do while Zoro turns running a hand up your leg from under the water stopping at just under your knee, so he can lift it out of the water "Just sit back and relax, we'll take care of you" The green haired man gives you a loving smile while placing a kiss on your leg before grabbing somebody wash and starting to wash your legs for you, "You don't have-" you go to say only for the swordsman to quickly move up to crash his lips onto yours his hand going to the back of your head to stop you form pulling or moving away "Please love, let us pamper you" Sanji whispers from behind you continuing to rub your back, placing a hand on the green haired man's cheek you lean into the kiss accepting their offer, Zoro bites your lower lip before shoving his tongue past your lips not giving you time to open your mouth. Moaning slightly into it you let the swordsman do what he wants one hand rubbing your leg while the other grips your hair, his tongue moving but most of the time pushing it around until he finally lets you go letting you gasp and pant for air after such a forceful yet passionate kiss "Relax" Zoro whispers against your lips giving them one last kiss before going back to your legs, unable to complain you let the two clean and massages your back, shoulders and legs some times making you hum when one of them finds the perfect spot to rub getting any tension or knot in your body. "Thank you, your so sweet" You mumble as the two finish each giving you a kiss on your shoulder or leg before letting you lean back against the bath again continuing to relax.
Zoro leans next to you intending to relax as well only for Sanji to grab a small scrub brush and makes his way over kneeling down in front of the swordsman. Taking Zoro's hand the cook starts to scrub under his nails earning a raised eyebrow from the men, but he doesn't pull away "What are you doing?" A part of him wants to be annoyed but at the same time the blonde has never taken an interest in his hands before so is more curious. "You still have blood under your nails… and their scruffy" Sanji sighs taking his time with each finger while acting slightly annoyed but you both know better, he's doing this out of love and care for his partner, a small blush forms on Zoro's face while keeping his eyes fixed on the cooks care of each nail, some times reaching over to grab a nail file. "Sanji, hun… When your done, I'll do your hair if you want" You ask once the cook is on the last finger, glancing up at you Sanji lets a big smile grow on his face, you may not be good with hair like Robin but you know how to make his fluffy and light after a shower "Yes please love" the cook puts his tools away before giving Zoro's hands one last look over, the swordsman pulls his hands away letting them cup the blondes face "Thanks babe" Sanji could fall in love all over again at the calm and loving look on his lovers eyes, continuously the blonde moves in as if hypothesized to place his lips on Zoro's for a soft drawn out kiss. You can't help but admire the two as they share a sweet kiss and loving looks seeming transfixed on each other, you can't blame them since both their loving looks are irresistible.
The swordsman's hands run down to Sanji's hips grabbing them and moving him until the cook is sitting between your legs, running your hand up his back you place a kiss on his neck as the two pull away from their kiss "Hurry up, the waters getting cold" Zoro chuckles while leaning back a bit but takes the cooks hands starting to massage them while you run your hands though the blonde's hair "lean back for me honey" doing as he's told Sanji scoots forward a bit in order to tilt his head back enough for your to wash his hair. Grabbing a cup your fill it with water before pouring it over his hair making sure that nothing gets in his eyes, you wash his hair while giving him a head massages which he hums into letting his eyes close as his two partners pamper him. After rinsing his hair out you repeat the posses before adding conditioner to the ends of his hair then rinsing it off, Zoro moves from one hand to the other making the cooks mind go calm almost to the point of falling asleep, once your done with his hair the swordsman lets go of Sanji's hands earning a groan in protest "Don't be a brat" The green haired man smirks lightly flicking his partner on the forehead, shaking your head you stand up out of the bath to get out and wrap a warm towel around your body " i was enjoying it and don't flick me" The blonde growls using his foot to push Zoro back and under the water for a second "Alright you two thats enough. We have work to do if were going to leave on time tomorrow" You sigh shaking your head as the two tense up wanting to bicker but also not wanting to upset you, looking at each other the two sigh before standing up and grabbing their towels "Yes Love/Babe" The two say in unison before following you out the bathroom.
Letting out a breath you try and calm yourself while looking out into the forest from the ships deck, the sun's starting to set behind you and dinner is in an hour so you know now's the time to deal with Percy, everyone who wanted to do something to him has so now its only you left. "Hay, you ready?" Sanji asks as he walks over after finishing meal prep leaving the rest to Nami and Brook, so he can be with you, turning you nod with a small smile before taking his hand and heading down to the closet that Percy is held up in seeing Zoro leaning against the wall outside since it's his shift "You sure we can't come in with you?" The swordsman asks hoping you have changed your mind but you shake your head while leaning over you place a kiss on his cheek "Stay here, I'll be out in 5 minutes maybe less" even though the green haired man groans he moves out of your way his arms crossing over his chest showing how annoyed he is. Sanji places a hand on your hip giving you a concerned look "Just be careful and don't get too close" Turning to the cook you nod place a kiss on his cheek before walking into the closest closing the door behind you, the rooms bigger than you exacted but has nothing in it other than a single light bulb on the ceiling and a chained up Percy laying against the back wall. Dried blood covers the wooden floor and his clothes, his body is covered in cuts and bruises but some of the deeper cuts seem to have bee bandages up most likely by Chopper , Percy's eyes slowly look up at you clearly tired, but he doesn't say anything or move. "Let me guess Robin forced you to eat that seed" You smirk crossing your arms over your chest trying not to laugh at the state he's in, its clear how pissed off your crew is with him and if you didn't tell them not to kill him, Percy would be long dead. "T-that… bitch" the young man manages to get out indicating that you were right and Robin really did go through with her plan.
Letting out a laugh you shake your head taking a few steps closer but not getting too close in case he has a short burst of energy like you did. "I'm glad she did, i have to admit its kinda funny seeing you this way… anyway i'm not gonna stay long, I'd rather not stay and look at you longer than needed" You state watching as his eyes narrow at you, he tries to say something but his words don't come out "i did plan to say a lot of things to you but now i'm here i don't see the point anymore. Its not like you'll listen" Sighting you hold out your arms while make fangs out of your fingers letting the tattooed snakes come to life and slither out of your skin and into the floor where they quickly grown in size until their heads touch the ceiling, the two glare down at Percy both hissing in anger while curling up ready to strike when you let them. "Y-Your gonna.. Kill m-me?" Percy's eyes widen while flicking his eyes from your snakes to you fear running though him, it surprisingly brings a smile to you face since in a way he know feels exactly how you felt yesterday. "I'm not going to kill you, they will" turning to leave your stopped by the young man managing to talk again this time with tears in his eyes "W-wait.. Y/n i-i can-" One of your snake strikes biting down on the young man's leg making him scream out in pain the best he can with his voice hardly working, turning you step a little closer as you snake pulls away blood dripping from its fangs.
You can tell it wanted to attack again but it held back so you talk to the whimper boy. "I don't need your help, i never did and i'm sure my snakes will help you see that… You need to understand something Percy, my snakes are a part of me, their connected to my emotions and tend to show them and act more than i do." You explain wanting him to know how you really feel, even thought there's no point in setting his straight or explaining things you hope he'll at lest listen and understand that what is about to happen is your own destitution, not someone else's or that your being forced to do this but something you want to do. Looking up at you, Percy tries to raise an eyebrow not sure where your going with this but keeps quiet hoping your actually on his side and secretly ask for help but that slowly starts to fade as you talk. "For example, if i love someone then they will be more loving towards those people, they will care for them, look after them and never hurt them. If i hate someone and i mean really hate someone then my Snakes will be more aggressive towards them, more willing to snap or even kill…. you know Percy, I was wrong when we first met, you should be scared of them.. Cause they will kill you" Turning you head towards the door again hearing your snakes growl and hiss, their sharp fangs dripping with desire to kill the man that hurt you in so many ways, realizing this Percy panics trying to reason with you hoping you'll change your mind "P-please I-I lov" The young man tries to say but his words get caught in his thought unable to speak much out of fear and the drug in his system.
Grabbing the door hands you turn with a sweet smile looking over your two large snakes who both look back at you trying to wait until you let them loose. "Have fun with your new chew toy" Opening the door you step out and close it behind you, the young man yells and screams as your snakes attacking doing what ever they please with him until the life drains out of him. Closing the door you lean against it while reaching for the lock and turning it, the wooden door hardly covering up the loud screams, hissing, growling and bagging coming form inside. Zoro push off the wall he were leaning against while Sanji quickly finishes off his cigarette and throw it way both heading over to you as you push off the door to meet them half-way "Are you ok My love?" Sanji asks his hands cupping your face with worry while Zoro looks at the door in slight shock, the noises aren't pretty, and he doesn't know whether to be impressed or scared of the lengths your snakes will go. "I'm fine, i actually feel more relived now. I don't know how long they'll or what's going to happen since I've let them do what ever they want, but he won't be coming out of there alive" Taking the cooks hands off your face you hold one of his while taking one of Zoro's "Lets leave them to it, i suggest no one goes near here for a while… just in case" The two nod in agreement knowing it's a very good idea to stay away by the sounds your snakes are making, walking away with the two you make it up onto the deck where its much quieter.
Zoro squeezes your hand while pulling you and Sanji over to the tree on the ships deck "Come on, i want you to rest while their out, your still recovering" The swordsman orders sitting down with his back to the tree while pulling you onto his lap and wrapping an arm around your waist, the cook nods in agreement sitting down next to the two of you and laying his head on the green haired man's shoulder "We have just under an hour until dinner so let's make the most of it" Sanji chuckles hooking one arm around Zoro's while holding your hand with the other that sweet loving smile spreading across his face, leaning into the swordsman you rest your head on his other shoulder giving his neck a kiss "I love you both" You whisper, Zoro hums placing a kiss on your exposed neck while Sanji brings your hand to his lips placing a lingering kiss on your knuckles "We love you too" They say in unison before looking at each other placing a quick kiss on each others lips "I love you too" The cook states brushing his nose against the swordsman's who leans back in for another kiss while wrapping his other arm around his waist "I love you… baby come here" Zoro smirks pulling you to sit up so your head is no longer in his neck, running his hands up his lovers sides and up to their cheeks the green haired man pulls you two closer for a three-way kiss. Leaning in you meet their lips in a loving and slow kiss letting out a hum of enjoyment, the warmth of love fills your chest and their touches sends shivers of care through your body, its moment like this that confirm that no matter what happens they will always love you and you will always love them.

The Accidental Trauma of the Negators (Undead Unluck)
Tumblr media
The past few years, the word trauma has been thrown around a lot. Everyone's going through something. While one can argue who is suffering more, there's one thing that's certain - we still don't know how to talk about trauma in a healthy manner that heals everyone involved.
And I see this in the case of the Negators in Yoshifumi Tozuka's Undead Unluck.
Undead Unluck starts off with a young girl named Fuuko Izumo wanting to kill herself after causing a lot of death around her. She curses how unlucky she is until a mysterious person named Andy shows up to save her. Andy is someone who is looking to die as he is living a virtually-immortal existence. He believes Fuuko is the key to dying and decides to drag her on an adventure that would end up joining an organization made up of people with unique powers like themselves called Negators.
The Negators are individuals that have abilities that negate certain rules placed by the God of their world and by beings known as Uma. These abilities usually start with an "Un-" prefix, so Undead and Unluck are on the list. How those abilities are activated can be random, but there's consequences. Once Negators awaken to their power, they end up causing tragedy to those they love and most of the time, they kill them.
I'll talk about 3 Negators in particular.
Fuuko Izumo (Unluck) - Due to her ability to generate extremely bad luck on those she loved the most, her parents were killed in an airplane crash when she was 8 and with them. Three years later, Fuuko kissed her grandfather and he ended up dying some time after
Tatiana (Untouchable) - Her Negator ability activated at the age of 5 and destroyed an entire town as anything near her would be incinerated, including her parents.
Chikara Shigeno (Unmove) - When his Negator ability activated, he accidentally caused his parents to not be able to move by looking directly at them in front a speeding truck. Hence their imminent deaths.
You can guess why I want to talk about those 3 in particular - because they accidentally killed their parents.
In mental health, there have been cases of people living with mental illness who killed their family members. While this may not be shocking to some, it's still harboring to hear and a risque subject to talk about. Years ago, while working the front desk at my local NAMI, I took a phone call from a woman who was looking to inquire about what to do regarding her brother, who killed their parents. She was in tears and I said I understood and transferred her over to the helpline.
I recently listened to two stories about people who accidentally took the lives of others. One story focused on a woman who ran over a homeless person near an expressway. While she was mourning the loss and processing what she did, everyone around her was like "Oh, that person was just an outcast to society. You don't need to mourn them." The woman didn't know how to take that. The second story was about a man who was struggling with alcohol addiction for years. Things came to a head when he killed a small group of family members while drunk driving. While the man is making amends through advocacy work against drunk driving, he can't help but wonder if he will truly be forgiven for what he did.
What's scary is when you accidentally kill someone, it's easy to let the trauma define your entire identity. Fuuko, Tatiana and Chikara were like this before meeting Andy. They were afraid that their powers couldn't help anyone. They felt that they couldn't redeem themselves no matter what. If the 3 of them can't get close to anyone anymore, then so be it.
Thankfully, all three have managed to find ways to cope and grow. Fuuko realizes how much her power can save lives and knows how much her parents loved her. The best thing Fuuko can do was live and protect those she cares about just like her parents once did. Tatiana felt the same after Fuuko befriends her without judgement of her past actions. Chikara admits that his parents want him to live first and foremost while being kind to those who need it.
I will not lie that society will always judge anything violent in a black or white manner. I just wish that those who know they did something devastating are treated with compassion by more than just people similar to them. In Undead Unluck, the Negators only get sympathy from fellow Negators. The God who "blesses" them only sees them as pawns to be played with.
It's okay if you can't forgive yourself as long as you don't fall into total despair. Try to make the world around you a better place. If you can't, then definitely make your inner world a better place. And definitely find a community that you can feel safe and at peace with. This is why I appreciate Undead Unluck and understand why it was made a big deal at Anime NYC in 2023. Community (and some professional help) goes a long way to heal the trauma.
And more importantly, try to honor the victims as best you can. Do good for their sake.
There's absolutely no good card for this at all, but shrinking yourself to the abyss and wanting to die like some Negators have felt is not a good answer to live up to any grave mistakes you made. Do the UN-believable and prove to the awful voice that unfairly blames you that you are so much more than what you did.
If you are or know someone who accidentally hurt or killed someone, the Hyacinth Fellowship is a place to find help and I totally recommend visiting their website at: https://hyacinthfellowship.org/

・❥・
Girl I wanna play the game
Baby you know what's up It's always been the same
Cause you just need my love
And I need you to stay
Baby you know it's hard I'll make it go away
You hummed the song playing before you in a chair. You had a loving smile plastered on your face while gazing at the person in front of you playing music beautifully. You were caught in a complete trance, and nothing could rip you away from it. The Earthy scent of marijuana flooding the room, the people sitting around you, nothing could rip you away from giving your new boyfriend the attention his voice deserved.
Law performed his small band in front of you and his other friends in his basement. You and the raven boy have been in a relationship for roughly a few months or so, and each day has been better than the last. Law, surprisingly, took you on frequent dates and surprised you in your window at night whenever he pleased. You couldn’t have asked for a better partner, and here he was. You’d been attending his little performances every weekend to show your appreciation, sometimes even after school during the week. Not only did you fall in love with the man himself, but his music was nearly impossible to not get hypnotized to.
You sat next to one of Law’s band members, who would be in the performance in front if Law hadn’t taken the spotlight in singing, Ikkaku. She pulled the rolled-up drug out of her lips and exhaled.
“So you and Law have been dating for a little now, huh?” She asked with a sluggish smile and rose eyes. You finally disconnected your trance from him and paid attention to the intoxicated vocalist, the music playing in the background.
“Oh, yeah we have” You smiled proudly. Ikkaku nodded slowly and nudged your shoulder.
“Aren’t you one of a kind then. I’ve been trying so hard to get that loser a girlfriend since freshman year” She giggled. You reciprocated and turned your head back to the singing boy.
“I guess I am. I’m honestly surprised” You gushed. You never would’ve thought out of all people, Law would pick you as a partner in crime.
“I remember the day he told us he got a girlfriend, it was hilarious” Ikkaku smiled. You raised an eyebrow, remembering that Law never told you how his friends reacted to the rather big news.
According to the girl, everyone was baffled. Especially since it was you, of all people. They’d assume you were popular and well known considering the jock you were latched onto throughout the halls of Grand Ocean. Upon hearing the news, they treated it as of Law survived a terminal illness or a train wreck. You couldn’t help but giggle at Ikkaku’s explanation, that could’ve been fabricated to her own amusement.
I thought that you would want my hand but now
I love you can't be sad
Go be free I'll get on with no dread
I'll find a new focus to free me
I thought that you would go away but we would always feel the same
More dummy more money you think the things you show me are so funny it's not funny
Law began the song's iconic guitar solo. The way his hands fluently plucked the strings with complete ease made your cheeks flare up. The music made goosebumps trail up your spine and body. Law had his eyes shut and a prideful grin on his face as his solo filled the entire room with his sheer talent. You slowly grew a beaming smile, all the way to the very end.
You clapped your hands and gave a small cheer at his talent. You caught a glimpse, even through the colorful LED lights and slight clouds of transparent smoke, of his happy smile with your loving support—which he appreciated more than anything. Law pressed his lips close to the mic and performed the last verse.
I thought that you would want my hand but now
I love you can't be sad
Go be free I'll get on with no dread
I'll find a new focus to free me
I thought that you would go away but we would always feel the same
More dummy more money you think the things you show me are so funny it's not funny
Shachi hit the last note on the drum and Penguin let go of his guitar that was supported by a strap once the song concluded. Law ran his fingers through his damp locks that were caused by his own sweat. He had a smile as soon as you lifted your relaxed body to jump on his own. His chest was slightly moist but you didn’t care. You absolutely adored his performance like any other.
“You liked it?” He chuckled, supporting your body with his arm and holding your cheek with his palm. You looked up at his steel eyes with excitement.
“Duh, of course! You always do amazing” You giggled. Law planted a chaste kiss on your lips in front of everyone. Law loved one main thing about you, and that was how you weren’t afraid to publicly display your affection towards him—in a moderate manner, of course. You heard Shachi playfully gag from behind.
“You two are gross…” Penguin sighed, leaning over to another person in the basement to grab ahold of the rolled, smoking drug.
“Get a room!” Shachi said, cupping his mouth with his hands to project his voice louder.
Obviously, you two both heard the teasing boys loud and perfectly clear. Law had a smile on his face as he continued to leave kisses on your happy lips, all while pulling up a loving middle finger to both Penguin and Shachi.
“Alright, lover boy” You cooed, pulling your body away from your boyfriend. He took your separation as a chance to finally pull off the instrument on his body and place it gently on its designated stand.
“Have somewhere to be?” Law asked as he watched you step down from the mini, hand-made stage and to grab your jacket you immediately tore off from the high temperature of the room.
“I do, yeah” You responded. Law stood closely next to you while you situated your belongings in your palms.
“I’m throwing Ace’s birthday party at my place. Nami and Sabo are helping me set it up” You explained. You finally turned your body to the raven boy that had his hands on his hips.
“I see, I can give you a ride and help out if you’d like” Law offered. Your face grew a happy smile knowing you’d be able to spend more time with your lover like you always yearn for.
“Of course, baby” You sang, kissing his cheek in the process. Law chuckled and ruffled your hair, turning his body to Ikkaku who was in the middle of rolling a new round.
“Meet me outside in a few, just need to grab my things” Law informed, snagging the freshly rolled drug from Ikkaku and receiving an angry punch in his thigh in the process.
You hummed and waved the room goodbye, to which you were quite fond of by your frequent visits. You thought Law’s friends were a pleasure to be around, despite the fact they were barely sober half the time. You always reeked of the iconic smell back at home and prayed your mother didn’t catch on. She loved Law and she’d hate to find out he actually did a few things here and there that people wouldn’t take too kindly. You didn’t want to be the one to jeopardize that.
Luckily, you wouldn’t have to deal with that. On this current weekend that dwelled upon you, your mother was out on a business trip that would pay her more money than usual. You thought it’d be perfect to celebrate your dear friend’s birthday on the day you had zero supervision.
There you stood outside of Law’s car, dowsing your body in your handy perfume to dull the pungent smell of weed. As soon as your body smelled more like strong chemicals than the infamous drug, you stood there satisfied and waited for your tall, tatted boyfriend to arrive.
“Sorry, that idiot Shachi moved my keys and we spent ages trying to find them” Your boyfriend huffed after he bolted to the car. You had been standing beside the vehicle for a few minutes and figured Law had been so high, he'd forget about your newfound plans. You giggled.
“I thought you passed out. I was ready to hijack your car” You watched him walk to the driver's side to finally unlock the doors.
“Just because your car is bad doesn’t mean you have to steal mine, sweetheart” He laughed. He placed a hand on the headrest to turn his body towards the back window. You watched him pull out of the driveway, and this position was oddly attractive to you.
“Hey, my car isn’t that bad! Respect your elders!” You crossed your arms. Law just replied with a chuckle and turned his body to proceed down the road.
Now, in contrast to the first few visits you had in Law’s car, he had a tender hand squeeze your thigh each drive you had with him. Each time you felt his printed hand on your thigh, you formed a sheepish smile with tinted cheeks. You’d gaze at it like it was painting in a museum each car ride. Sometimes, Law would rub your thigh as a silent way of saying ‘I love you, and I got you’, and you’d feel a fuzzy blanket form around your body each time. Sure, Law displayed a stone-cold, nonchalant attitude in front of anyone, including you, but he did the subtle things that made you feel loved.
“How many people are going to be at the party?” Law asked. You were locked on your phone that you were mindlessly scrolling onto to pass the time. You hum and click your tongue at Law’s question.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of the school came. I invited everyone” You replied. Law blew a raspberry with widened eyes, seemingly not expecting an answer like that.
“Good luck cleaning that up, (F/N)-ya” He reminded. You shrugged, fully aware of what the aftermath may look like but your mother wouldn’t be home until after the weekend came to a close so you had plenty of time to tidy up the reckless mess.
“You’re coming, right?” You asked, turning your head to the focused driver beside you.
“Yeah, I will. Just for a little, I don’t do parties” Law sighed. Law didn’t want to go at all but considering his partner was going to be there, probably intoxicated, he had no other choice but to go.
“Party pooper…” You muttered.
“Don’t make me cry, (F/N)-ya”
Law finally pulled up to your home only to see two other cars in front you were familiar with, unlike your boyfriend beside you. His overprotectiveness completely washed over, making the grip on your thigh get firmer. You giggled, admiring his protectiveness.
“Relax, it’s just Nami and Sabo. I gave them keys to my place just in case I was late” Those words eased up Law’s tension.
You both exited out of the car and into the house. Law was right behind your tail, keeping a comfortable distance. Although he had his hands in his pockets and his head turned away, you knew he always had his guard up to protect you. You secretly gave a sweet smile before entering the building.
“(F/N)! You’re here!” Nami, who was standing straight up on your kitchen island hanging decorations, gleams at your entrance. You gave the orange-haired girl a happy wave.
Sabo comes cautiously down the stairs with a box of what seemed to be more party supplies. He placed the box down beside the couch, wiping off his forehead and exhaling.
“Good to see you, (F/N). Oh, and you too Law” Sabo greeted. Law only hummed nonchalantly at Sabo’s greeting. Your eyes trailed to a tall, bulky, green-haired man sprouting from the same steps Sabo was once on.
“Zoro?” You asked. He cluelessly looked in your direction and just waved his hand.
“Oh, yeah I brought him along to help with the heavy lifting and stuff” Nami finished hanging the decorations up top and plopped on her bottom on the island.
“Awesome! Now we have two tall guys helping out” You giggled, turning up to your tiresome boyfriend behind. Law placed a hand on your head before he strutted passed you.
“Let’s get to work. Party’s in a few hours” He says, lifting the party box on the counter to lift the lid off.
Everyone agrees and proceeds to finish decorating the house from top to bottom in decorations. Each piece of decor was a shade of red or orange for Ace’s typical color pallet. On the very front, big shiny lettering displayed ‘Happy Birthday, Fire Fist Ace!’ and under displayed an ‘18’ at the bottom. All that was left was food, drinks, and, of course, the guests.
“Sanji should be coming with the food soon. Zoro is getting the booze” Nami stated. You happily clapped your hands together in excitement, knowing that your dearest friend would be through the roof of happiness by this party.
“Why do I have to get the booze!?"
“Because you’re always drinking, moron! Be useful!”
“I have been, you witch! I might as well have skipped gym day today with all this heavy lifting I’ve been doing!”
“Oh, shut up! You’re lucky I’m not even compensating you that much for the drink run”
“You what!?”
You giggled at the big brother, little sister troupe Zoro and Nami displayed. You felt a hand turn your body to meet a bigger, taller one. You looked up to see your exhausted boyfriend standing in front.
“I’m gonna head out and study for my medical exam. I’ll see you at the party, okay?” He held your hands from below. You exhaled, the sight of those dark circles was concerning to you.
“Are you sure you won’t overwork yourself? You’ve been studying for this exam forever. You’ve barely gotten sleep!” You trailed your thumb to his dark eyes. Law carved a side smile.
“Relax, I’ll be fine. I wanna pass this, that’s all” He grabbed your hand that lingered on his face to give it a quick peck.
“I’ll miss you…” You murmur. Law plants a soft kiss on your forehead and ruffles your hair once more.
“I’ll be here soon, don’t worry. Be safe” He gave you one tender embrace before pulling away to leave the house. You gave him a small wave, slightly pained to see him go so soon.
“You two must be really happy with each other,” Nami says from behind. You hum and turn your body. Nami was far from wrong. You smiled proudly.
“Of course, he’s the sweetest if he’s not a sarcastic prick” You giggle. Nami smiles, sliding her body off of the marbled island.
“I honestly thought you and Ace would be together, not ever Law” Nami giggled, stretching her body.
You couldn’t help but exhale a nervous laugh, not really sure of what to think by that statement. You were sure you strictly displayed your and Ace’s relationship as sibling-like. On top of the fact, you took pride in your relationship with Trafalgar.
“I’d rather die than be in a relationship with that idiot” Is all you could muster up. Sabo and Nami exchanged laughter at your comment. You decided to brush off the discomfort for now.
Law, not even a few feet off the steps, heard the conversation from beyond the door. Nami’s comment made his heart sting just a bit, already slightly on edge of your inseparable relationship with the fire fist. He just exhaled and proceeded to his own car to make his merry way back home.
・❥・
Law found himself staring at a blank notebook page with a cracked open textbook that’s been sitting on the same anatomy page for over a half an hour. He had his clouded head resting on his palm, tapping his mechanical pencil on that same blank page. Law barely studied for his upcoming exam, mainly because it wasn’t necessary, but also because his brain was preoccupied from you.
The boy found himself wondering why of all people you chose him to be with and not Ace. Law wasn’t the insecure type, but based off of Nami’s judgment and assumption, it left him a pit of despair. He loved you, dearly, but he couldn’t help but wonder why he got to have this type of relationship with you. He internally began to make a venn diagram of him and Ace with their talents and attributes. So far, Ace slowly exceeded. To prevent his mind from going further into the trenches, he drew a quick sketch of your own side profile—knowing it from the back of his hand. He smiled, seeing how it progressively began to look more like you. His heart was truly full of nothing but you, aside from music and art of course.
Law’s phone finally buzzed.
(F/N) - 8:46 P.M
[Attachment: 2 Images] how does this outfit look???
There you sent two images to Law of yourself. One of which was, what he thought, your adorable face, and the second was the single weakness Law had upon seeing it. You wore a dress that wrapped around your body beautifully and Law felt his cheeks burn up several degrees. He felt his thumbs tremble before beginning to type a response.
Law - 8:48 P.M
thank god i’m going or else everyone would be gawking over you
(F/N) - 8:49 P.M
never saw you as the jealous type &lt;;33 i’ll see you soon, luv i love you
Law smiled at your message, completely at ease by your simple notification. All his negative thoughts began to wash away knowing you loved him just as much as he loved you. Finally, Law began to scribble down words that were relevant to the medical field.
Meanwhile, you were welcoming guests inside. You wanted everyone to arrive before Ace did, and you had the perfect plan for it. No one spoke a word to the jock about his surprise birthday party just as you asked. Sanji was cooking in your kitchen, despite him already bringing platters upon platters of food. He insisted, all while rather flirtatiously, to you that’d he cook a bit more considering Luffy would be running around. Zoro already helped himself to some alcohol but that was no shocker to anyone. The last few stragglers came in until nine o’clock finally struck; the official time of the party.
“Alright everyone hide!” Nami instructed with her powerful voice. Everyone scrambled behind tables and the couch while you dialed the number of the birthday boy.
“Hello-“
“Ace Ace! Please come over now! I think a wolf broke in and I need your help!” You shrieked. Your tone made the party guests believe you for a moment before they realized it was fake. There might as well be an actual wolf.
“Wha-!? Seriously!? I'm on my way, just stay locked in your room or somethin’” Ace said frantically. You held in every bit of laughter in your system to avoid giving away your award-winning act.
“Hurry! I hear it coming up the stairs!” You say, finally hanging up the phone.
“Was that actually necessary?” Zoro said, sitting on a still on your kitchen island sipping on a glass bottle of beer. You glared at him.
“Yes, now go hide. He’s speeding down here as we speak” You pointed your finger. Zoro groaned and sluggishly leaned against a wall that was a fairly long distance from your door.
You peeked through the window that perfectly displayed your front yard. You could see familiar headlights in the long, night distance and scrambled to shut off the lights.
“He’s coming! Everyone be quiet!” You whispered.
Your hands yanked the party popper off a nearby table and held it in your hands. Your body hugged the wall right beside the door, intentionally avoiding where the door would slam against from Ace’s hands.
He burst the door. The sudden shockwave made your body flinch, you thought you almost gave yourself away for a moment. Ace was met with complete darkness, not to mention an intact house despite your cries for help. He expected the place to be in shambles.
“(F/N)!? Are you okay!?” He yelled out. At the sound of his worrisome voice, lights beamed at his freckled face as well as pieces of colorful paper from the party popper you carried.
"Surprise!"
The crowd cheered off in different pitches and volumes. The “audience” clapped and cheered, some even latching onto the man himself who was baffled, to say the least.
“What is this…?” Is all the brunette could say.
You giggled and wrapped your arms around his body. Your giggles, as well as your safe body, made Ace holler in laughter. Ace finally adjusted to the sudden shock and realized it was nothing but a false alarm.
“I was wondering how a wolf would come in if the door was closed” Ace spun your body around in circles before placing you back on your feet.
“You did all this?” He asked. You nodded, picking off bits of colorful paper off of his shaggy hair.
“Yep! All afternoon! Happy Birthday, idiot” You nudge his toned arm. Ace gave you a ruffle of your hair, similar to your boyfriend, and filled the room with more laughter.
The music was now blasting its way down your entire neighborhood, letting all the peaceful sleeping households know the party only just started. You raised a drink in the air with Ace and cheered, but little did you know that wouldn’t be your only drink of the night.
About an hour into the celebration, you were growing slightly tipsy, but you could still speak coherently and control your thoughts. The door opened, revealing a familiar presence you have been missing for hours.
“Laaaaaaw~” You sang, latching your entire body on the raven boy. He chuckled, supporting your loopy body with an arm. He was met with chaste, sloppy kisses on his cheek and lips.
“Hey, hey…” He pulled you off by your shoulders to get a better look at your slightly intoxicated face. He planted a soft kiss on your forehead.
“Missed me that much?” He smiled. You nodded profusely.
“Always” You giggle.
You pull Law into a larger crowd. Seeing the immense crowd was a one-way ticket for his social anxiety to flood his insides, already wanting to bolt out that very door he walked into. Law signed up for this the moment his hand turned that same doorknob, though. Besides, he did this for you and only you. He promised to only stay for about an hour or so.
But Law felt himself wanting to leave earlier. Your clinginess only lasted so long until your body became glued to the man of the Party; Portgas D. Ace. Law drank bottles of beer to fit in, but realistically only had a drink or two. He watched from afar to your friendliness to the birthday boy. He felt himself wanting to smash the bottle in hand and swing it over someone’s head from his pent-up anger.
“I can’t believe (F/N) isn’t dating Ace! I thought they were together until she posted that she’s going out with that Trafalgar guy!”
“I know, right? They’re still cute though”
“But I thought Ace and her would’ve been the cutest!”
“You’re not wrong!”
Those words would be jumbled around over the course of the night Law stayed. He had to faintly hear almost every conversation about it on the sidelines. All his insecurities came flooding back from a small cooldown, but this time you weren’t there to help it relax. In fact, Law felt like you only made it worse.
As soon as he caught a glimpse of you with your arm around Ace’s broad shoulders sharing the same bottle, he felt like he lost it. He threw his bottle somewhere on the table, completely soiling whatever was in its radius.
To be frank, you were drunk out of your mind. What started as a slight buzz turned into a complete blackout. You weren’t thinking. If you were sober, you’d hate to be this close to Ace but nothing stopped either of you. Ace was just as, if not more, intoxicated as you were. Although, neither of you did anything with each other besides drink and obnoxiously sing the lyrics of the songs loudly playing around you.
You felt your arm have a sudden, firm grip around it and detach your arm away from the drunken jock. You yelped. Ready to start throwing punches at whoever grabbed you, you realized it was none other than Law himself. He dragged you upstairs where no one stayed, and the music was beginning to muffle out. The hallway was dark and mellow. You had a loopy, dumbfounded face while Law had eyes ready to murder. He held a strong grip on your shoulders.
“(F/N)-ya I-“
“Babyyyyyy~ I missed youuuu~ Where have you been?” You slurred, swaying your body left and right before you leaned your face against his. Law quickly jolted his head away, which was completely new to you. You raised an eyebrow.
“Hey, what gives? You don’t like my kisses anymore?” You puffed out your bottom lip dramatically before coughing out a fit of giggles.
“Stop, you’re so drunk I can smell it off of you,” Law said, completely unamused. You rolled your eyes and pressed your back against the wall.
“Whatever, whatever. What’s upppp~? In the mood to make out or somethin’?” You winked. Law scoffed, his patience wearing dangerously thin.
“Stop it, (F/N). Please” He said sternly. The fact he didn’t use the iconic nickname he gave you made you pause, but still wobble on your own balance.
“Look, you’ve been glued to Ace all night and… I need you to cut it out. Get some rest while you’re at it” Law said with a pained sigh. You burst into a fit of laughter. The jealous boy couldn’t help but lift an eyebrow.
“You’re funny, babe! C’mon, it’s his birthdayyyy~” You said, your body almost collapsing on itself the more you tried to stand still.
“(F/N), people are starting to think you’re cheating on me with that guy. Relax a bit, would ya? Please, I know your room is this way-“
Law tried extending a hand to escort you to your room, but a sloppy hand slapped it away. Law stared at you with hurt, yet angry, silver eyes. You couldn’t even make out his own face from the immense alcohol intake, but you could make out his words. You glared at him.
“Stop being such a party pooper, Law. I’m trying to have fun!” You scolded.
“Excuse me? So you dancing and being with him all night long is having fun? I’m right here!”
“And? It’s his birthday! Can I have fun just this one day, jeez!” You began to sound like a pre-teen yelling at their parents. Law felt like he was about to burst a blood vessel.
“I get that, (F/N)-ya but you're being ridiculous”
“Well, if you’re so bothered by it then just leave! You don’t even like parties so just leave me alone and let me have my fun! I set up this party, y’know!”
Your words might as well be a harpoon the way it plunged into Law’s heart. He stared at you with widened eyes, not saying a single word. Law couldn’t even give you the benefit of the doubt of the fact you were drunk off your mind so whatever you were saying was deemed fabricated and false because of how distraught he was by your words. The words didn’t hurt him as bad, though. What made everything a hundred times worse for the boy was your angry, careless expression to go along with it like it didn’t phase you a second that you shattered his heart.
“So can I go now?”
After those words, Law pushed passed you with zero remorse left. You were left there in the hallway, whose atmosphere was now filled with despair and animosity, all by yourself. You glared at Law with each step he took downstairs.
The crowd made its way for Law. His steps could bash someone’s skull in and his demeanor gave off the vibe he was about to murder anyone that dared spoke a word to him. Everyone grew quiet once the loud, slamming sound of the door echoed in the room. You stood up top on the steps with a careless smile.
“C’mon! Who said this party was over!?” You shouted, raising a fist. Everyone cheered to your voice as if nothing happened. As if you didn’t unknowingly ruin your relationship.
The rest of the lively night was a blur. The more you took, the more you began to lose control of your body and became blackout drunk. The last thing you remembered was screaming Happy Birthday over cake and everything went dark. To your surprise, you woke up in your bed the following morning.
You never thought sun rays could burn your eyes so bright in the morning but here you were. Wincing like a vampire as soon as you realized the bright morning sun flooded up in your windows to peek through your curtains. Your head was on the verge of exploding from the grueling headache. You winced as you sat up from your bed to realize you were still in your party attire, minus the absence of your heels.
“Fuck, what happened…” You murmured.
You didn’t hesitate to slip your body into more comfortable clothing compared to the tight dress causing more discomfort in your distressed state. Your legs were wobbly and weak but you still managed to make your way down the steps. The living room was not only several times brighter than your room but also looked like a hurricane went through it. A happy, morning Sabo was slowly cleaning up the place while the birthday boy was snoring on the couch with drool.
“Sabo?” You said groggily. Sabo flinched at your voice and quickly exhaled.
“You scared me, (F/N). Slept okay?” He asks with a smile, carrying a full black trash bag. You nod slowly, making your way to the messy kitchen.
“Last night was pretty crazy, huh?” Sabo hummed. He made sure his voice was quiet for you and Ace.
“I barely remember it…” You murmur. The main thing you focused on was grabbing a crisp bottle of water to soothe your body at least a little.
“I don’t doubt it. You were pretty crazy” Sabo gently placed the bag by the door with the rest of them. He began to continue cleaning the place little by little.
“I’ll help out,” You say, grabbing the wooden stick of the broom to sweep the floor from the party.
You two silently cleaned the place from top to bottom. The party aftermath left about five full bags of nothing but trash. You dusted your hands together and shared a high five with Sabo now that the place was clean.
“Free of any evidence” Sabo chuckled. You nodded.
Nothing prevented you from slapping your hand against the slumped boy's cheek to wake him up. Ace didn’t budge until your force grew harder and harder. He groaned and flailed his arms around to push you away.
“Okay, okay I’m up!” His eyes still closed, he sat up from the couch and palmed his eyes. You gave one last light smack beside Ace’s head.
“Morning”
You sat in the seat across from him, yawning. Ace finally fluttered his eyes open with a scrunched-up face.
“What even happened last night?” Ace said groggily. Sabo sighed, ready to explain the chaos he caused.
“You were off the rails with (F/N)” Sabo replied. He turned his body to a growling coffee maker.
“Why are you two here, anyway?” You asked curiously. Ace just replied with a dumbfounded shrug. His response didn't surprise you a drop.
“You two were the drunkest people here, so I stayed to put you both to bed after I forced everyone out. The police were almost called by your neighbors” Sabo chuckled, pouring a steaming hot cup of coffee in a mug.
“Jeez, I guess I threw one hell of a party” You giggled. You flickered your eyes around to see a tall, raven-haired, tattooed boy but nothing. You thought Law would’ve stayed to nurse your hangover but to your surprise, he wasn’t there.
“Where’s Law?” You abruptly asked.
Both of the brothers exchanged eye contact like they knew the answer. Ace said he wasn’t going to be the one to say it through Sabo’s eyes, and he sighed in complete defeat.
“He… left long before the party ended. He seemed pretty upset”
You raised an eyebrow, completely dumbfounded. You traced back the entire night but could only see your moments with the hungover boy in front of you.
“Upset? Why would he be-“
The air in your lungs is suddenly squeezed out by your terrified gasp. Sabo jolted and Ace just looked completely concerned. It finally clicked. The angsty conversation you had with your boyfriend flickered in your brain enough for you to piece it together. You rose up from your seat so quickly, that you grew slightly lightheaded. Your head whipped around your surroundings.
“Wha-? What’s wrong, (F/N)?” Sabo shifted his body away from the kitchen and immediately to you, looking like you’d been attacked by a ghost.
“My phone! I need my phone!” You shrieked. Ace groaned, your voice piercing through his brain.
“I’ll help look. Ace! You too!” Sabo said sternly as if he was a mother of ten kids.
You, as well as the two brothers, scurried around to find your missing cellular device that could’ve been absolutely anywhere. Thanks to your foggy memory and reckless drinking habits, your phone was tucked away in an absurd hiding place that Ace ironically found. You gleamed at the mere sight of it, snatching it off his tired hands.
“What’s wrong anyway? Never seen you so passionate about your phone” Ace said, scratching the back of his head.
“I think I just ruined my relationship while I was drunk out of my mind…”
You frantically turned on your phone and saw that Law hadn’t messaged or called you once all night. That simple sight made your hopes plummet and your heart shatter. You realized this was entirely your fault and looking back at the argument made your heart sink even further.
“Sabo,” You said sternly. He felt a shiver run alongside his body. “Please tell me I didn’t do anything with Ace. Y’know, like…?” You said, insinuating anything that wasn’t platonic. Sabo frantically shook his head.
“No, no! Of course not! All you did was share drinks and be annoyingly loud” Sabo reassured. You exhaled in complete relief knowing you had the control to prevent anything from happening.
“If I so much as kissed that moron I would’ve jumped off a bridge”
“Same here, asshole!”
You quickly opened Law’s contact and didn’t hesitate to call his number. You realized it was rather early in the morning for him to be awake but it didn’t hurt to try. You felt like crying as soon as you heard his voicemail instead of the loving voice you desperately longed for in this current situation. You tried again, but the same fate occurred. You collapsed on the couch once again, sluggishly sitting there in complete defeat.
“No use?” Sabo asked. All you could do was give him a slow nod while you typed out a message to him for him to see when he awoke.
(F/N) - 6:56 A.M
hey law we need to talk. i remember what happened and i really need to talk to you. call me as soon as you can i love you..
The last message was something Law read over and over. Truth be told, Law didn’t sleep since he left your place full of anger and frustration. As soon as he got home, he let out a few tears that not even his guitar could dry. He sat on the corner of his bed in quiet sobs, not really wanting to throw you away by your drunken words. Despite that, your words still pained his already shambled heart past its extent. He couldn’t sleep. He knew the moment he’d shut his eyes, your words would only replay through his eyes.
So Law broke nightfall to now stare at your two messages. He read the ‘I love you’ and reconsidered your relationship with him. He figured that if that were true, you wouldn’t have said what you said back at the party. He didn’t want to talk to you—not yet. Law watched your caller I.D buzz until the line disconnected. Even if he did answer, he wouldn’t know what to say to you, let alone your physical face. He desperately wanted to grab the phone and cry to you about his feelings, but that sense of vulnerability petrified him more than anything as well as the fact that talking to you wouldn’t help his wounds. Law silently told you he wanted space.
Sabo and Ace ended up spending the entire day at your place to comfort your current lovers quarrel. They kept you good company in playing games with you and spending brotherly time together but that didn’t erase Law from your overthinking brain.
5:34 P.M. - You sat on the couch with a fuzzy blanket wrapped around your body. You stared blankly at a movie displaying in front of you on the big screen TV. Sabo was on the other end of the couch mimicking your demeanor, the only difference was he was actually intrigued with the movie.
“Ace, while you’re there can you pour me somethin’ to drink” Sabo called out from the living room. You could hear Ace sigh.
The room began to flood in with the buttery aroma of freshly made popcorn. Granted, it was made from the microwave but it was still delicious. You let out an audible sigh. Sabo noticed your distressed state never vanished all day since the morning. He’d catch you checking your messages to see if Law messaged you under your nose, but nothing. Your inbox was filled with notifications that didn’t matter to you. You only worried about your boyfriend.
“What am I gonna do at school tomorrow?” You asked. Sabo hummed while he averted his attention from the TV to you.
“With Law?” His question made you hum and nod. You couldn’t maintain eye contact with the blonde, but you could tell he was concerned. The aroma grew stronger when Ace plopped in the middle of you two with a steaming bowl of popcorn. Ace shoved a fist full into his mouth.
“Talk to him, duh” He muffled out. You rolled your eyes at the oblivious jock.
“Not as easy as it sounds, Ace” Sabo added. Ace pointed the bowl towards his brother while chewing on his mouthful of popcorn. “If he’s ignoring her online, what makes you think he’ll welcome her with open arms in person”
“I guess, but think of it like this” Ace grabbed the remote that lingered on the glass coffee table innocently. Ace paused the movie that was playing, which you weren’t even paying attention to, panning his attention between you and his brother.
“If he’s ignoring you online, he can’t ignore you in person? Hm?” Ace felt like he was the smartest person to ever walk the planet while you and Sabo gave him eyes that said otherwise.
“Ace, I’m sure he’ll just ignore me in person. Plus, I don’t want to embarrass myself” Sabo hummed in agreement.
“Besides, I think (F/N) must’ve hurt him so bad that he needs time to recover” Sabo hit you where it hurt and you flickered your eyes away in embarrassment. Sabo cringed. “Sorry, (F/N)… Didn’t mean it that way-“
“I get it. No reason to sugarcoat it…”
The two sat in silence for a moment. They equally felt bad for your current situation and seeing you hurt only pained them more. Sure, Ace was an oblivious, one-track-minded guy but he still cared for the people around him—especially you. Sabo was in the same boat.
“I think you should give him some space until Tuesday or so…” Sabo recommended and you couldn’t object.
“What did you even say to him anyway?” Ace abruptly asked. He leaned back against the couch with his arms spread. He rolled his head towards you.
Ace’s question made you realize you kept whatever you told Law a secret. This entire time they’ve been clueless of the actual situation and assumed it was pretty bad for Law’s ghosting absence. You felt cold and bare, despite being wrapped in warmth, when you opened your mouth to explain.
“I barely remember, but he said he was uncomfortable with how I was with Ace last night and I told him to just leave…” Is all you can manage to describe the quarrel. You saw Ace cringe at your explanation, knowing that he was a major part of it. Sabo was left somewhat speechless.
“To be honest, I figured that was the case” Sabo spoke. You shrugged in defeat.
“Yeah, that’s sort of embarrassing…” Ace exhaled, rubbing his back as a nervous stim. “Does he know about our relationship?”
“I’ve told him numerous times but I guess I was just too clingy because I was drunk and it was your birthday”
“Well, take this as a learning experience to never drink like that again” Sabo laughed. His slight sprinkle of humor to the painful situation made a soft giggle escape your lips.
“First and last time…”
Suddenly, the doorknob from behind began to jiggle and rumble. A shiver went down your spine, wondering whoever this was trying to break into your home. Your delusions began to take over and the only person you could think of popped out of your mouth as the door swung open. Your legs moved on their own to an abrupt rise from your seat, the blanket pouring onto the floor.
“Law…?”
The door revealed an exhausted, tall woman sighing in complete relief to be in the comfort of her home. She tossed her keys by the steel bowl beside the door where the rest of the keys lingered. Your body relaxed at the sight of someone you didn’t expect to see, while the two brothers smiled in delight.
“Hey mom…”
You say lowly. Your mother smiled, seeing the surprise of both brothers in front of her. She hugged them both ever so lovingly, leaving a tighter embrace around your disappointed body. You were happy to see your mother, of course, but you oddly expected the raven-haired boy instead to come out and spin you in his toned arms.
“What are you boys doing here while I’m gone?” She said, her voice spewing a bit of animosity towards you. You remembered she strictly told you to not have anyone over unless it was an emergency.
“(F/N) was helping us study for a really important exam before Christmas Break. Sorry if you didn’t want anyone over” Sabo saved your skin to your mother, who had eyes ready to pull you by your ear to lecture you. You silently thanked him.
“Well, I expected nothing less from my little scholar” She giggled.
“Why don’t you two stay for dinner and I’ll drop you rodents back home. Sounds good?” She gleamed, her hands placed on her hips.
You hear the two agree with excitement. You sighed, hoping your lovingly warm mother's cooking would warm your tainted heart. You decided to cover the lover's quarrel with your mother to keep that perfect picture in her head. That is until the dreading thought of you two breaking up occurred. It was all you thought about. It’d make your stomach turn and your throat tighten at the mere thought. It’s only been a couple months or so, but you loved Law more than anything. Knowing that you were the very cause of your perfect relationship only made you want to crumble before everyone.
That night you lay in the comfort of your bed, imagining what would happen in the familiar hallways of the building you were scheduled to arrive to the following morning. It’d be exactly like how it was the very first time you met the boy. You didn’t expect him to hold you in that tight, warm embrace he’d usually do whenever you were stressed or overwhelmed. He wouldn’t kiss you with those lovingly soft lips with an arm on your back that silently spoke; ‘I’ve got you’. He’d push passed you like you were a stranger with those mysterious, steel eyes. Only this time, those eyes had more sadness and sorrow buried within them than before.
The imagery flashed before your eyes, and in your, what you thought would be, peaceful slumber. You didn’t have high hopes of getting good enough sleep that night. With your body coiled in a fetal position and your arms tucked in your chest, you can only think of saying one thing.
“We’ll be okay, Law…”

Lizard: *who asked Nami if they could stop by a certain island because they have good booze*
Nami: *agreed but made sure that Lizard knew that drinking for her wasn't allowed*
Lizard: *as soon as they land takes Doll to a bar where a drunk woman is whos crying and holding a baby blanket*
Doll: *confused* Lizard what are we doing here?
Lizard: *helps the woman sober up and cleans her up* Doll meet your mother.
Doll: *shocked* But my dad said that...
Lizard: It was all lies. Well apart from the part where hes your dad. This is your mother and he stole you from her years ago.
K: *starting to understand and recognizes Doll and runs over and hugs her* MY BABY. OH MY BABY GIRL. LOOK AT YOU YOU'RE ALL GROWN UP.
Doll: *crying* Hi Mom
"Nami said we weren't allowed to drink, why are we here?" Doll shifted uncomfortably behind Lizard while anxiously picking at her sleeves.
Lizard simply continued to pull her along and stopped at a door at the back of the distillery they were at. She tried to open it, but the knob only rattled in place.
"Unlock this," the order came out shockingly casually.
Doll bristled immediately, "What? No! I'm not breaking into this place, what is wrong with you?!"
"It'll be fine, I know the woman who runs this place, she won't mind. Now get to it, this is important," Lizard leaned against the wall while staring at Doll expectantly.
As much as she wanted to argue, Lizard's stare was impossible for her to argue against. She huffed and grumbled a bit, but ultimately conceded to the demand and dug out her lock picking kit. "I can't believe you're making me do this. How do you even know this person?"
"This was one of the islands we hid out on for a while," the other people in the 'we' being the members of CP9. "We were getting something to eat at a tavern down the road and I got to talking to Kailani because she looked so sad and lonely drinking by herself. I want you to meet her."
Just barely resting a finger on the tension wrench she shoved into the lock, Doll began gently gliding her rake tool in and out of the keyhole. The lock seemed awfully cheap, she'll easily have it unlocked in under a minute.
"Why do you want me to meet her?" Granted, it was always nice to make new friends, but the approach Lizard was taking was bizarre to say the least.
"You'll see, just trust me."
The wrench fell limp, signaling that the door was now unlocked. Doll barely had the chance to stand up straight before Lizard threw open the door and yanked Doll in with her. The door quietly clicked shut behind them.
The strong, but sweet, scent of alcohol assaulted Doll's senses. Being around booze was hardly a first for her, but the potency of it in here was staggering. If they stayed long enough, she's sure she would become intoxicated without ever having ingested a drop.
Strangely enough, it was weirdly familiar. The smell made something in the back of her mind tingle, though she couldn't place how exactly she recognized it or where from.
"There she is," Lizard continued dragging Doll around like, well, a doll. "Hey, Kailani!"
An older woman was standing next to a large pot simmering a dark, thick liquid. She had been carefully skimming foam from the top of it when Lizard called out to her. She startled and almost dropped her sieve into the pot.
"Who the hell are you two?!" Kailani's eyes flicker to Doll and she openly sneers at her, "Get out! I don't want any damn kids back here!" Her eyes were glassy, and it wasn't hard to guess why, especially after she took a swig from the bottle in her other hand.
"C'mon, you know me. I'm Lizard. We talked a few times after meeting at the tavern about a year ago, remember?" Lizard's tone was calm, unbothered by the harsh outburst from Kailani.
Kailani's face scrunched up in thought and she took another drink as she mulled over what Lizard said. After a somewhat lengthy pause, recognition flashed in her eyes, "Lizard... Right, I remember you. Such a strange name." Another sip. "Why are you here again? And why did you break into my store? With that... girl, no less."
For reasons Doll couldn't figure out, Kailani kept glowering at her. Specifically her hair, oddly enough.
"I wanted you to meet my friend." Lizard gently pushed Doll in front of her, "Kailani, this is Doll. Doll, Kailani.
Both of them shared a look of confusion as to why Lizard felt the need to introduce them. Doll muttered out a small 'hello', but the nicety wasn't returned.
"I have work to do, if you're done then please leave," Kailani turned her back to them and went back to monitoring the simmering pot. Unfortunately, she wasn't watching where her hand was going and yelped as she accidentally burned her hand on the cauldron.
The bottle she'd been holding before fell to the floor and shattered on impact. Glass shards scattered everywhere, as did what little rum had been left. A slew of curses shot out of her as she cradled the burnt hand to her chest.
Lizard rushed forward, gently herding her away from the pot and to a nearby chair. She snatched the sieve from Kailani, "I'll go skim it for you, just rest here while Doll fetches some water."
Despite not necessarily getting along with the woman, Doll was quick to do as told and brought some cold water for Kailani to soak her hand in.
An awkward silence hung in the air as Kailani aggressively avoided making eye contact. Doll found herself examining the aging woman's face. Her expression was stern, hardened from what Doll could only assume was years of hardship. No one who's had an easy life could look so mean while having such downcast and sad eyes.
It's understandable why Lizard felt the need to approach her the first time. Even Doll found herself wanting to give the woman a hug.
The back door they'd sneaked in through opened and closed, making Doll tense up and whip around to see who else was in here with them now.
"Kailani, you left the door unlocked. Again. One of these days someone is going to steal you poor." Another woman rounded the corner, she looked to be similar in age to Kailani, but perhaps a little younger. She stopped dead in her tracks when she spotted Doll and Lizard, "Who are you?!"
While Doll was panicking and stammering for a response, Lizard answered casually, "We're friends with Kailani and just stopped by to say hi."
"Really now?" She looked to Kailani for confirmation.
"I know her," Kailani nodded at Lizard. "We met last year and talked a little. No clue who this girl is. What are you doing here, Malana?"
"Hardly sounds like you're friends to me," Malana sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, "And I'm here because it's noon, and I brought some food so that you don't drink your lunch again."
She strode over to where Kailani was seated and leveled Doll with a hard stare. At first, her expression was annoyed more than anything, but then her brows furrowed. Malana dropped the food onto a table next to her and grabbed Doll by the chin while looking her over. Doll tried to pull away, but her grip was strong.
"How old are you?" Malana's voice was so low that Doll could just barely make out what she said.
"Um, I-I'm fifteen?" The intensity of her gaze was downright intimidating.
Her eyes widened at this answer, "What's your name?" Both of her hands dropped and tightly gripped Doll's shoulders.
Before Doll could answer, Lizard did so for her. "She goes by Doll now, but her real name is (Y/N)."
Kailani's head snapped up so fast that it could be heard cracking. For the first time, she fully looked Doll in the eye, her own were wide and wild. "(Y/N)?" The small water basin in her lap fell to the ground as she launched herself out of the chair and held onto Doll as if she would disappear if she didn't. Doll stumbled, but just barely managed to remain upright. Malana was speaking but she couldn't make out a word of it over Kailani's hysterical sobbing.
"(Y/N), my (Y/N), my baby!" She pulled back slightly and cradled Doll's face in her work-weathered hands, "I thought I would never see you again!" Once again, Doll's face was squished against the woman's chest as she held onto her with all her strength.
Doll had no idea what was happening. She managed to twist her head enough to look for Lizard in hopes that she might have an answer.
Lizard was standing only a few steps away, "This is your mother. She never died, Shanks kidnapped you in the middle of the night while she slept."
Her once tense posture fell limp as Doll went into what she could only describe as being a state of shock. "What?"
"He lied to you, he's been lying to you for years."
Malana had joined in on the hug, aggressively squeezing both Doll and Kailani, "I can't believe you're here!" She let go and rushed for the door while scrubbing the tears off her face, "Stay put, I'll go get everyone else!"
As the door slammed behind her, two things were on Doll's mind. One, that she was going to savor every single second of this reunion, and two...
She was going to kill Shanks for what he's done.

Whumptober Day 12
Zoro x Reader
Tumblr media
"Let's go this way," Zoro suggested when your captain couldn't make up his mind which way he thought would be more fun.
"Yeah right, like we're going to let you lead the way Zoro," Sanji scoffed and rolled his eyes. He then gestured to another tunnel. "We should go this way."
"Hey, why don't we split into teams?" you said before the duo could start arguing over who should decide what. "That way we can find the treasure faster."
"Good idea, [Y/n]!" Nami agreed with your plan since it'd mean she could find her money sooner.
"Alright guys, we're splitting up," Luffy declared and dashed down the path in front of him.
"Luffy!" Nami snapped out of her money trance and ran after him. "Wait up!"
"Yo Robin, how 'bout we go down this way," Franky offered the ravenette as he shinned his nipple lights on the walls. "This one got some runes."
"I'd be happy to," Robin smiled as she followed the shipwright.
"Hey look, this one has skeletons like me," Brook chuckled as he lifted up the bone body to show the others, scaring Usopp and Chopper.
You laughed at the sight until you noticed the swordsman wandering back the way you guys just came. "Zoro, you're the wrong way."
"Huh?" He turned around with a puzzled expression.
You shook your head and took his hand, beginning to lead him. "This is the cave you wanted to explore."
"I knew that." If it weren't for the darkness surrounding you two, you would've noticed Zoro's cheeks turning into red roses.
Your footsteps echoed down the cave, the only thing keeping silence at bay. At times, Zoro's arm brushes against yours, you sense how he tenses each time. Unsure why he's uneasy, you decide to strike up some small talk.
"What are you hoping we'll find in the treasure chest?"
"Some booze would be nice," Zoro answered bluntly.
"I don't know if we'll find any," you deadpan thinking it might not have been the best question to ask. "I'm sure we could use some of the wealth to buy some though."
Silence squeezes between the two of you when the attempt at conversation fails. You sigh and begin to glance around the cave for something interesting. Briefly, you catch sight of pointy-shaped rocks up ahead and-
"Hey, I have a question, [Y/n]," Zoro abruptly pulled you out of your observation.
"Hm?" you hummed turning your head to him as you kept walking.
"How come you don't drink?" 
"Oh- uh- I guess I just got used to not being able to drink," you shrugged. "My island sorta outlawed alcohol."
"What? How did your people survive? That sounds like a nightmare," Zoro said dreading the idea of living in a place that didn't have booze.
You giggled at him, "Maybe to you, however, thanks to that law, pirates didn't care to visit our little island." A memory flashes in your mind and your smile disappears. "At least until..."
Zoro stops and places a hand on your shoulder making you halt. You glanced at where his eyes would be, unable to see them due to the darkness clouding the view. The outline of Zoro's mouth opens, about speak when-
"GUUUUUUUUYYYYSSSSSS!!!"
The area vibrated as your captain's voice bounced off the walls. Bits of rubble fell from the ceiling, landing on your head and shoulders. Your eyes glanced above your head, and you realized you two were under unstable rock spikes.
"WE FOUND THE TREASURE!!!" Luffy shouted down your cave. Larger rocks rolled down the sides of the wall.
"Luffy! We're in an unstable zone!" You tried to warn without lifting your voice too high, in fear of being crushed.
"WHHAAAT?!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU GUYS!! SPEAK UP!!"
"I SAID-"
"[Y/N] watch out!"
You felt yourself being pushed away from the sounds of crumbling rocks dropping down. Vibration shook the earth as rocks collided against the stone ground. You felt big arms shield you as everything around you collapsed. You couldn't feel your breath and without realization, you grab onto the arm, holding onto it for dear life. Your eyes squeezed shut, you weren't sure when it stopped.
"[Y/n] are you alright?" Zoro asked, a grunt in his voice.
"Yeah," you reply, eyes fluttering open. "I'm fine, what about-"
Zoro stressed out a few grunts as he held up a large boulder above his head, keeping it from crushing the both of you. You gasped, "Zoro!"
"I'm fine." Zoro sucked in a breath. "This is nothing. As long as you're safe, I'm fine."

Nami whenever she sees Tama or any other little kids makes me think that she would want to have a kid in the future, and would try be a loving mother just like Belle-mare.
There's a thing that bothers me in how people perceive Nami's care for kids, and it's the fact people are like "Oh Nami has a NURTURING side it's her NURTURING nature."
Nurturing is not something people tend to instinctively have, just like kindness and empathy, it is something mostly taught. She isn't this way just because she's a WOMAN who sees a kid and must NURTURE them - in fact I'd argue she doesn't have a naturally nurturing nature at all - it's because Bellemere had the kindness to save her life and raise her as a child.
When Nami sees a child crying for help, this is not a 'womanly' instinct thing, otherwise Robin would be the same by that logic. It's because she sees herself in these crying children, in the abandoned children, and she remembers what Bellemere did for her. Nami has her own morals to never leave a crying child helpless because her own mother impacted her so greatly, and she can't look past it.
I do not believe Nami has ANY desire to have a biological child of her own, but if a child were abandoned and asking for help with nowhere else to go, she may indeed take after Bellemere and adopt that child into her own life.

Zoro - Falling for You
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: None! This Chapter is fluff.
Summary: Zoro realizes his feelings for you!
A/N: This is my first fanfic. Have fun!
Tumblr media
He's a stupid man
He's clueless
Whenever he was around you he would feel butterflies, but he wouldn't be able to tell what they were about tbh
Soon enough he found himself wanting to be around you more and more
Robin and Nami noticed too. They asked him if he had a crush on you
He just laughed. "Why do you think that? If I'm gonna be the world's greatest swordsman, I can't have that kinda shit distracting me."
"Oh, Zoro," Nami sighed, shaking her head. 
Robin giggled. "Zoro, to be a swordsman, you need to have a balance in life."
He knew that. He looked in your direction seeing you and Ussop loudly, and quite literally cackle about an exchanged joke. 
"You can't just ignore everything, and act like you have no feelings, dumbass," Nami added. "Love is important. Just like money!" Her eyes twinkled. "Anyways, I don't think Y/N will say no to you."
The three of them turn around when they hear a small gasp. 
"MARIMO LIKES Y/N!?" Sanji harshly whispered. 
"SHHH!" Nami hushed him throwing herself infront of him to make her point. "Quiet!"
Sanji huffed. "I thought moss ball here was incapable of humane feeling like that."
Zoro felt his heart thud. His face reddened into a dark blush. "Shuddup."
Sanji sat himself next to Zoro. "Ask her."
"What? I don't even like her."
"Yes, you do. Even Luffy is started to notice." He offered a drink from the platter. "That's saying something isn't it? She likes you too, by the way. Whenever Y/N's in the kitchen with me, she's always gushing about you." He pauses. "Go shoot you shot."
"The one time they're not arguing, is when its about women." Robin chuckled. 
~ Later ~
You laughed again, tears leaking from your pretty eyes. Wasted. Like most other nights with your beloved crew. 
Zoro stared at you completely entranced. He was now looking at you with love. Just like Nami and Robin had said. He did love you. 
"Zzoroo..." you slurred, lids heavy, but you were bursting with adrenaline. 
He practically perked up like a child.
"What'ss wrong?" you asked, head slightly tilted to the side.
"He need to ask you something! In private." Nami said for him. 
"Oh.. okay." You smiled, grabbing his hand. 
He got up, and followed you, as you dragged him into the privacy of the deck of the Going Merry. "What'ss up?"
He couldn't tell of it was the alcohol, or the hurry to get it our of his head. He blurted "Robin told me that I liked you."
"Oohh... Do you?" You draped yourself onto him, arms wrapping around his waist, face pressed into his chest, as you put most of your weight onto him.
"Yes." He nodded, his pretty skin now beet red. 
"Good," You murmured, as you reached up to press a kiss onto his lips. "I want you too."
"Fuck," he responds. He slides his hands onto your hips. He crashes his lips onto your again.

The lost Princess of the ocean - two
Masterlist
Morning came too quickly and the sound of two excited people woke you. Zoro jumped beside you, waking to your movement. His eyes met yours in a moment of silent acknowledgement. The door burst open and Luffy was laughing.
“We have the map!” He announced. You give a small smile, which seems to be good enough for him and he returns to the main deck.
“How are you feeling?” Zoro asks you.
Your eyes drop away from him, a wave of shame trickling through you. His head tilts to one side trying to read you.
“It's okay. You're free now, okay. There are no expectations here.”
You nod, finally looking back to him. Zoro holds out a hand to you.
“Come on, it looks lovely outside tonight.” He coaxed you to get out of the bed. You do as he asks and move alongside him as his hand drops to the small of your back. He took note of how rough the material of your dress was, the worn away places around your elbows and tattered edging. This was clearly a dress you had been wearing for a long time.
The sea breeze sweeps across you, causing goosebumps to litter your skin. Zoro was right, the evening was beautiful and being on the boat felt amazing to you. It had been such a long time since you had been freely on a boat. You look down at your wrists once more before wrapping your arms around your body. Zoro had not only dressed your wrists but cleaned the blood from your face and stitched several wounds around your body. As he did you were painfully aware of the scars that decorated the length of your body. Not that he had commented on any of them, the swordsman had worked in almost silence and you thought perhaps he likes it that way.
Nami started explaining the maps to the two men when a series of smoke flares began to explode above the ship. You feel your body weaken as Zoro grabs your shoulder with one hand, the other on his sword. You both sink down as the smoke knocks everyone out.
Your eyes fluttered open when Nami touched your shoulder, behind you Luffy woke Zoro.
“They took my swords.” He grunts.
“And my rucksack, ugh, with all my navigation gear.” Nami groans. Luffy's hands jump to his head feeling the straw hat. He sighs gladly.
“They didn't take my hat.”
You had nothing of value to be taken so you said nothing. Zoro reached a hand over to you brushing back your hair to look at your face. He mouths ‘you okay?’ to you and you nod your head.
“Dammit, we've lost the map.” Nami says.
Luffy grins at her, a glint of mischief in his eyes.
“No we didn't, it's in a safe place.” His hand taps his stomach and Nami grimaces.
Zoro punches at the wooden walls of your prison. The three of them argue about trying to escape and the marines, until Luffy explains that he had seen a Jolly Roger before passing out. The news didn't exactly make you feel any better.
The walls of the box fell open, revealing a circus ring. Zoro instinctively grabbed your hand pulling you half behind him whilst also grabbing for the missing swords. A crowd you can't see cheers.
“No. No, no, no, no. Stop clapping!” An extremely disgruntled clown marched into the ring, “No, stop! It's all wrong! The spotlight was late. You completely missed my entrance and where, oh, where was the dancing…lions?”
“Hey, I know you.” Luffy announced, “I saw your wanted poster in Shells Town. You're the clown guy. Binky, right?”
“Buggy.” The clown growled. “Buggy the Clown. Buggy, the Flashy Fool. Buggy, the Genius Jester.”
The two go back and forth about Axehand Morgan, Luffy announcing once more that he will be pirate king. You weren't listening, your mind was locked on the hand holding yours. No one had ever held you in such a protective way. Zoro's fingers were clamped around your palm. His voice breaks your thoughts.
“Alright, listen up. I am Roronaro Zoro. Drop your weapons and I may let you live.”
The circus pirates laugh. Zoro's hold on your hand faltered slightly, his fingers reaffirming their grasp on you.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a celebrity in our midst. Too bad I hate sharing the spotlight. Now, maybe we should skip right to the finale.” He holds his hand up with knives between each finger. “My freaks put quite a bit of rehearsal time into this little abduction and if I can't reward them with that map” Buggy growls, “I suppose I'll have to offer them a pound of flesh instead.”
“Wait, wait!” Nami steps forward between Buggy and Zoro. “ What if I have something else to offer you? Something more valuable than the map?” Your breath catches in your throat, sure she was about to reveal who you were.
“What if I give you a new freak for your crew? A rare talent. The most spectacular act in all of the East Blue. Besides you, of course.” She chuckles.
“Go on.”
You looked up to Zoro as he glanced around the room, counting the pirates you wandered.
Nami takes a few steps backward, grabs Luffy's hat from his head and throws it into the air before darting for the tent door and into the old village. All around she sees the carcuses of burned down houses, streets filled with rubble and decay.
One of the pirates tackles her to the ground and drags her back into the arena.
“Okay Here end the theatrics. I know one of you has my map, and I'm gonna get it back. What was it you said, Rubber Boy? That it was in a safe place? Don't look so surprised. I've got eyes and ears everywhere. So please make our guests uncomfortable in the green room.”
You're pulled away from Zoro as the clown pirates rip you all from the room, all except Luffy who is shoved back toward Buggy.
“I am gonna have a chat with my stretchy new pal.” He laughs.
