your monster trio nsfw headcanons were immaculate (seriously Zoro's was PERFECTION) could you do the same for Law and Ace?
Tumblr media
@valkyrie-sun-walker
yes ofc! and thank youuu 💓💓 i got the 2nd req from a wonderful anon after i started writing this, so i decided to combine the two! here ya go mls :)
part 2 to this post
18+ ONLY (minors… 👉🏻🚪)
a/n: just me lusting over these men so ofc they’re all yappers, + i apologize to any usopp enjoyers for making usopp’s section a lil shorter 💌
don’t forget to like, comment, reblog, and follow to support my work!
“see what you do to me?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
law:
tough guy syndrome TM
puts on a cold front, but will wear flowers in his hair if you pick them for him
the kinda guy who can dish it out but can’t take it
in every sense
he can say the most flirtatious, descriptive, borderline pornographic shit to you with a smirk on his face
but the second you return the same attitude, he gets all flustered and fumbles over his words
he acts all dominant and in control when he’s making your eyes roll into the back of your head, whispering the filthiest shit in your ear
he takes great pride in his affect on you
“feels good, yeah?”
but when you take the reigns, he literally turns into a puddle at your fingertips
- “cat got your tongue?”
“shut up-”
clearly a switch
specifically a bratty sub + mean dom switch
so basically just a little bitch 24/7
when he’s a mean dom tho, he is a fucking mean dom
he’ll edge you until your crying from frustration, and then make you cum over and over until you lose count
“honey, are those tears? it’s just too much for you, isn’t it”
“you wanna be a good little slut for me, don’t you? then hold it.”
“count down from ten, nice and slow, and don’t you dare fucking cum until you get to one”
has a choking kink (giving and receiving)
also really likes to use toys on you, or watch you use them yourself
his favorite tho is your wand vibrator
he’ll hold it against your clit until you’ve cum so many times you’ve lost track, and you’re eyes are watering from overstimulation
or he’ll push it against you while he thrusts into you at a brutal pace, making you feel so much pleasure all at once that you see white behind your eyelids
he’s not a huge fan of pda, unless he’s jealous, and then he’s got you pressed against a wall with his tongue down your throat
if you get needy while he’s busy, he’ll make you ride his thigh
he’ll continue on with his work, acting as if you aren’t even there soaking through his jeans
his gentle hand on your hip, dick already hard against your knee, and a soft “good job, baby” when you cum are the only indicators that he was paying attention at all
get’s rly cocky when he catches u staring at his chest/back/tattoos
even worse when it’s his hands
will 100% use it against you to tease you all the time
will put his hands on your waist/thigh if he catches you looking for too long in public
then later he’ll make you come on his fingers and keep his mouth running the whole time
“bet this is what you were thinking about, huh. staring at my my fingers all day? couldn’t help it, could you?”
“oh, you can take more than that. cmon, one more”
“awh baby, i can feel you squeezin me already. you wanna cum so bad, don’t you sweetheart? not yet.”
he’ll get you right to the edge just to slow down to an agonizing pace and then make you beg him to let you cum
then he’ll have you suck his fingers clean
he’s a menace
but he’s also really good at aftercare, and will tell you how well you did and make you feel so loved and relaxed
now, as a bratty sub…
he is such a pain in the ass
he knows every way to get under your skin and get you exactly where he wants you
when you’re kissing him he’ll fight you for dominance even though he’s clearly losing
makes sassy ass comments whenever you speak just to piss you off
he could literally already be doing something but refuse if you tell him to
- “take off your pants”
“say please”
even when he admits defeat, he’ll continue to run his mouth for as long as possible before his brain turns to mush
if you use your mouth on him, it’s over
he’ll go from being a brat, to gripping the sheets in seconds
once you shut his brain off, he’s a total mess
his hands and mouth sloppy and all over you
when you ride him, he can’t take his eyes off of where your bodies meet, groaning at the wet sounds of your slick with every bounce
when he does look up at you he almost busts as soon as he sees your proud smile and blown out eyes looking down at him
his moans are loud and gravelly, and he’s desperately gripping at your hips, and whining, and cursing, and panting in your ear
the only words he seems to remember are “fuck” and your name
he loves it when your mean
- “you don’t get to touch unless you ask nicely. go on.”
“oh fuck- please”
also low key a sucker for light bondage (both ways)
acts like he doesn’t like when you mark him up because he doesn’t want other people to see, but it’s actually because every time he see’s your work on his skin he wants to pounce on you
and he can’t have that 24/7 now can he (i wish tho tbh)
will bite on your shoulder when you finally let him cum, leaving dainty little tooth shaped bruises behind like a medal
and of course, a few minutes after he comes down from his high, he goes right back to being a little shit
ace:
such a cocky motherfucker
but in a cute endearing way
also allergic to shirts apparently, and he would be lying if he said it wasn’t to show off for you at least a little
but he get’s all proud when he notices you ogling him
he’d say somthing goofy like
“like what you see?”
while wiggling his eyebrows
he is a messy kisser
like super sloppy
he just can’t get over how lucky he is to even be able to have your company, or be able to touch you at all, so getting to kiss you blows his mind a little and makes it short circut
soft dommmm
ace just wants to take care of you
he loves to slowly make you fall apart over and over, being there to be your anchor
but he’s also super talkative
“that’s it, princess. keep making those pretty noises for me, yeah?”
“just like that, keep going. doing such a good job”
“just a little more baby, you can take it”
loves eating you out, and he’s good at it
he likes to hold your hips down with one arm, and use his other hand to stretch you open
goes insane if you pull his hair
will put your legs over his shoulders
both a tits and ass guy
will bury his face in either and be perfectly content if he suffocates
he’s always kissing some part of you, wether its your lips, your neck, your thighs, your wrists, doesn’t matter because his mouth is on you
absolutely loves hearing your sounds, especially if you’re whimpering and whining
hearing you be so needy all for him drives him up the wall
kind of a dumbass sometimes, but can surprisingly lead to amazing sex sometimes
doesn’t realize how everyone ogles him wherever he goes
and he certainly doesn’t realize when other girls are throwing themselves at him
you know he doesn’t intentionally engage, but it’s still hard to not feel jealous watching the interactions
but when he notices you’re jealous… oh boy
he gets SO cocky (like more obnoxious than usual)
“awh, baby, are you jealous?”
“you know i only have eye’s for you”
“want me to prove it?”
and he will
he’d bring your hand to his dick, allowing you to feel how hard he is already
“see what you do to me?”
“this is all yours, baby”
“i’m alllll yours”
and then he’d proceed to fuck you until your legs are shaking, heat burning in your chest from overstimulation
but he makes sure to reassure you that he didn’t even notice the other girls intentions, because the only girl that he cares about is you <3
he’s not the jealous type himself, because he knows there’s no need to be
he trusts you, and he believes you when you tell him how much you love him
however, he does not trust other people
therefore, he is extremely protective of you
he’s honestly into pda
he just loves showing you off any chance he gets
one thing about ace is he will talk you through it
and he’ll hold your hand the whole time too
“yeahhh, there you go, princess”
“mm, there’s my girl”
“go on baby, soak me”
does the tummy push thing
also does the knee thing
goes feral if he sees you in any of his clothes
especially his hat
this is a “save a horse ride a cowboy” relationship
loves to put his weight on you, still being careful not to squish you
he just wants to be as close to you as humanly possible
and he’ll pin your hand’s above your head with one of his, interlacing your fingers
gets super giddy and proud when he fucks you dumb
“look at you, all pretty and fucked out”
“lettin me fuck you dumb, huh? lettin me fuck your brains out?”
“fuck, you can’t even think anymore, can you? feel too good to think, huh pretty girl”
he’s a biter and will sometimes leave marks, but he is not sorry
temperature play perhaps
is a fan of cockwarming
im also an avid believer in gamer bf ace
so he’ll have you just sit on his dick while he’s gaming, feeling you pulse and twitch around him in restraint
every once in a while he’d move his hips just enough to make you gasp, but then back to nothing
if you do move your hips he holds them still, reminding you of your agreement
he’ll make you sit there, almost completely still until you’re pleading and whimpering for him to let you move
“go ahead, pretty girl”
“take what you need”
he will buy you lingerie, and he will lose his mind every time he sees you in something he bought for you
face sitting enthusiast
will say “i love you” during sex at least once
will also probably quote an action movie while balls deep inside of you and completely brush past it like it was nothing
no matter what pace is set, he fucks hard
he’ll lift your legs from around his hips to push them against your chest, because the angle feels so much deeper
he’ll gradually build up speed, just to slow back down when either of you gets too close, to make it last longer
this will go on until you’re begging
“shh, hey, it’s okay baby, i’ve got you”
“just let it build with me, hm? we have all the time in the world”
“promise it’ll feel sooo good”
and when you’ve both evened out your breathing, he smothers you with affection and makes sure to take good care of you
usopp:
he’s a sub, full stop.
tried to dom at first, but it was just not natural to him at all
still will try to act all tough and in control, but he’s in the palm of your hand in seconds every time
more than willing to do anything you ask of him
gets flustered SO easily
will become a total mess from the smallest things
he gets defensive when you tease him, but he secretly really enjoys it
thigh guy
face sitting fan #2
loves kissing you and would do it all day every day if he could
any amount of pleasure you give him will turn him into a babbling mess
he’ll just say anything honestly
“hmm- feels so good”
“pleasepleaseplease-”
“can i kiss you? please let me kiss you-”
little bit of a mommy kink but embarrassed about it
suuuuper reactive
was 100% a virgin before you, so you have to help guide him in the beginning
you also help him discover what he likes and dislikes
he has a massive praise kink
“good boy” has him panting and fisting the sheets
he also really likes your hands
the way you hold his jaw so firmly when you kiss him
or gently squeeze his shaft when you tease him through his boxers
and even how you press your thumb past his lips to stifle his noises as you make him cum in your fist
his moans are whiny and a soft, getting lost in the pleasure
“ohhh- wow”
once his brain is long gone, he honestly doesn’t talk much until he’s getting close
thats when the incoherent stuttering starts back up again
“you’re so- ahh- so good at that”
“don’t stop, don’t stop-”
“i think i’m gonna… i’m cumming”
when he does cum, he’s either whining your name like a broken record, or so fucked out all he can do is pant and gasp and paw at your skin
he’s also a crier when he gets overstimulated
always polite and says thank you <3
asks are open! <3

Not to be crazy about luffy (and zoro) again, but i actually can't stop thinking about luffy and the way he values the people that he holds dear? I think that the more luffy loves someone, the greater the support and respect he will give to the person's ambition.
Remember how a person's dream or ambition is a very integral part of one piece? Thinking about how luffy is probably the person who respects zoro's dream the most (and ofc vice versa cuz THRILLER BARK!) And i just can't-
With luffy we all know that he doesn't really mind dying if it means he's in the process of fighting for his dream, so with the whole zoro vs mihawk fight, luffy of course can only support (from afar) and watch his first mate fight the fearsome warlord.
No matter how much he worries for zoro's life, he just can't get in the way of zoro's dream. He knows that better than anyone not to get in the way of someone else's dream. And their deal (back in shells town) only strengthens luffy's resolve to let zoro face mihawk and not get in his way.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Luffy's concern for zoro is very palpable, but despite this, he stops johnny and yosaku from interfering, making sure that no one gets in the way of zoro's fight. That just proves how much luffy respects his first mate's dream. Like you can see that he is cleary frustrated, clenching his jaw, he is doing everything in his power not to approach his first mate and interfere. But after mihawk slashed his first mate, luffy literally lost it, and well... we all know the rest (he had to intervene)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Im sorry but god, zoro vows to never lose again, him pointing at the sky with his sword as he shouts his words... and of course the iconic moment where for the first time someone calls luffy by his future title, im not normal about it
Also mihawk acknowledging luffy and zoro's compatibility right away will always gets me, cuz honestly dracule mihawk, how???
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Real talk, but what i love about zoro and luffy's relationship is how they acknowledge each other's strength. They always say things like "he is strong, he got this", "there's no way he is going to lose", "he will be fine", "it's him, no need to worry", et cetera... Like they have so much trust in each other's strength, that oftentimes they don't even feel the need to worry about the other person, because they are confident with each other's abilities.
But on the other side, sometimes (by sometimes i actually mean quite a lot) they can't help but to feel worried for each other. Especially when the other person gets hurt or attacked right in front of one of them. The worry intensifies when one of them faces a tough opponent or acts rather recklessly. And i think about that a lot.
Ok so, returning to the discussion in my first paragraph, about how luffy will always respect the ambition/dream of his loved ones. Especially if the person is strong, he will really respect that person's strength. A very clear example for this one is after leaving thriller bark and finding out something is wrong with ace's vivre card. The crew asks luffy about whether he wants to go after his brother or not, luffy replies:
Tumblr media
Like we all know about how much luffy likes to brag about his brother's strength and also how much he loves ace. But exactly because of that.. luffy chose not to go after his brother at that time.
Now, not to make everything about zolu (who am i kidding? I actually will always make everything about zolu), but thinking about the way luffy put his trust in zoro to fight for his own dream in baratie, and the way luffy feels confident enough to fall asleep for a minute during the fight with big mama and kaido... because he trusts that his powerful first mate will be able to take care of himself, but more importantly, luffy trusts his first mate to keep him safe from danger. In this not essay i will-

Zoro x fem Reader Fantasy AU! NSFW! Could you do something like a Little Red Riding Hood AU where S/O is Red and Zoro is the Big Bad Wolf, but it’s more like every time she visits her grandmother, Zoro tends to follow and protect her in the shadows from any dangers. If you can, can you put Werewolf Zoro in heat? If not, any other scenario leading to NSFW is fine too!
👀👀 sdlkfjsdifjsdkfnsdifj I see you I see you. On my knees for werewolf!zoro 🧎‍♀️ As you wish, my lovely.
Note: for those who don't know what a knot is, in ABO (alpha, beta, omega) dynamics, it is often described as a 'bump' or a ring that goes all the way around the base of the penis, and 'inflates' when the character is about to cum. It's used as a sort of plug to lock in the cum to help ensure that pregnancy occurs. In this story, pregnancy is NOT mentioned, I'm just saying what it's usually for. I'm not entirely sure if there's a consensus if it's a harsh edge or a sloped one, but let me tell you what I imagined for this scenario- it's a thick ring the same hardness as a super hard dick (like about to cum hard), and it doesn't really have a harsh 90 degree edge to it, but blends into the skin like how (generally) the sides of a white person's nose does. if that makes sense lol.
Warnings: teasing reader, rut, reader has a praise kink, reader in sub space kinda, SMUT, oral (m and f receiving), references to a/b/o (he just say's he's an alpha, which ofc he is and calls reader omega) Zoro has a knot, vaginal sex
Also I'm going FERAL over this amazing, incredible art by @philandresi - and the rest of their art omg.
Tumblr media
Anywho, without further ado-
Big Bad Werewolf!Zoro in rut with his Little Red Riding Hood fem!S/O NSFW
You inhaled the sweet, fresh scent of the woods. Pine, grass, flowers, and water swirled in a delicate perfume you could never ever begin to recreate. You exhaled, cracking a small smile as you heard a twig snap nearby. He always found you so quickly.
"You're not sneaky, you know" you called out. An answering scoff answered your quip.
"Only 'cuz you know I'm here." Warm arms encircled your waist from behind before letting go quickly. You quirked a brow in surprise. Normally he wouldn't let go of you until you smacked his arms off. You turned around, letting the red hood of your short cloak fall to your shoulders. The skirt of your dress brushed his legs and you shifted the basket to your wrist so you could hug him fully, but he stepped back. Your brows scrunched in confusion.
"You okay? Your face is flushed, and you're sweating. Are you sick?"
He shook his head.
"I... I can't stay long. You should stay at your grandma's for a few days too."
"What's going on? What's wrong?" you stepped forward, a hand raised to reach out in concern. He grabbed your wrist, and seemed to fight with himself before he ripped his hand away.
"I... I don't want to force it on you. It's..." the last few words were mumbled low enough you couldn't understand him.
"It's what?" you asked gently. He ran a clawed hand through his hair, wolfish ears flattening briefly as his fingers passed over them. You noticed his fluffy green tail flicking behind him. You frowned. Normally he didn't have his tail out, and he always sheathed his claws around you.
"my rut" he mumbled, looking down at the ground. His hand rested at the back of his neck, and you tore your eyes away from his heavily muscled bicep. Understanding bloomed in you mind, but you kept your face blank. He'd explained werewolf culture to you over the years you've been seeing each other, and you remembered everything.
"Ohhh.. I remember you mentioned it before, but I can't remember what it is." You cocked your head to the side, eyes wide and innocent. You licked your lips, leaving them shining and parted. You knew exactly how that look affected your werewolf boyfriend. He gazed at you for a second before seemingly shaking it off.
"You ever see an animal in heat?"
You made a show of thinking.
"I think so? I think there was a cat that lived around my house that was for a bit. She kept yowling really loud. Eventually she showed back up pregnant. Are you saying you want to howl really loud?"
You struggled to keep a straight face at Zoro's reaction to the intentional comparison to a simple domestic cat and your question. His brow furrowed and his lip curled.
"Don't tease me, mate." his voice deepened to a timbre at the last word, vibrating through your chest. His fangs elongated slightly and his eyes glowed red. Ah. I got caught. Heat began to pool in your abdomen, and you shifted your legs to avoid rubbing them together. A evil smile curved your boyfriend's lips, and he ran a tongue over sharp fangs.
"I can smell your arousal, sweetheart" he leaned forward, nosing the area of your neck beneath you ear. You whined.
"I don't care that it's your rut, Zoro. I want to help you through it. I want to be with you. I love you, so take me."
He growled, and tore himself away from you. It seemed to cause him physical pain, and he crossed his arms over his chest.
"What about your errands?" he said, nodding to your basket.
"I can make them quick. I should tell grandma I won't be coming for a few days anyway."
He furrowed his brow.
"I could hurt you" he whispered. Pained worry danced in his eyes, nearly hidden under a scowl. You smiled gently.
"You would never. Remember? I'm your mate. Even when you stalked me through the woods for a month, trying to take the food, you could never bring yourself to do it because you couldn't hurt me. You can't hurt me."
His tail flicked behind him.
"You realize that once we start, I won't be able to even let you out of my sight for days"
You nodded.
"I wouldn't have it any other way. I want to spend your rut with you. I trust you completely. God, Zoro I've even been waiting for you to ask if you can make the mating bite, which is more permanent than human marriage. I want to spend my life with you, ruts and all. I want you to be mine, and I need to be yours. Please." You stepped closer to him while you spoke, raising a hand to cup his cheek. He nuzzled your palm, a breath of relief shuddering through him.
"I was gonna do it next rut" he muttered. Your heart skipped a beat.
"You were?"
He nodded sheepishly.
"I was going to tell you after this one so you had time to consider it. It's a huge commitment. I knew through all the ruts I've had so far that I would've sealed the mating bond whether or not you wanted it. That's why I spent them alone" he admitted. Your heart melted.
"Zoro..."
"There's something else you should know."
"What is it?"
"There's... There's a chance you'll change into a werewolf too" he said, looking resolutely in your eyes.
"I know. That doesn't matter as long as I have you" you whispered. His eyes widened, then he surged forward in a bruising kiss. You accepted it, letting him control it. His tongue entered your mouth, sliding over yours and exploring your mouth. You moaned. A quiet growl escaped from his chest. You pulled back, breaking the kiss. A string of shared saliva broke from your bottom lip.
"Let's drop the basket off real quick. I also should pick up a change of clothes I have at my grandma's" you muttered with a smirk. You've never been carried at the speed Zoro went to your grandmother's house.
----
By the time you reached his dwelling (a surprisingly cozy and developed cottage-like structure carved out of the side of a hill), Zoro couldn't keep his hands off you. He threw you down on the nest of blankets and pillows he had in place of a bed before sitting up to rest his hands on your knees to smirk down at you. You swallowed, nervous lust making the wetness between your legs grow.
He tore off his shirt, ripping the fabric down the middle. Your eyes widened. It wasn't even close to the first time you two had sex, but it the first time you've seen him so intense. Your hands rose to unclasp your cloak, but he stopped you.
"Keep it on. Wearing that fucking cloak in the middle of those woods was a mistake, Mate. You caught my attention, and now you're mine."
Oh. oh. Yeah, you could play along.
"Oh do tell, Mr. Wolf, how exactly you're going to make me yours" you smirked. You moved your hands to rest by your head and arched your back slightly, offering your body to him. A deep growl emanated from his chest, and you couldn't hold back a soft groan. He dragged one hand up your thigh to rest on your hip, hiding under the skirt of your dress. The other fondled a breast through the fabric.
You could tell he was rapidly losing his sense. Before you could open your mouth to say anything else, he unsheathed a claw from the tip of his index finger and sliced easily through the entire length of your dress. You expected this, but the casual show of killing power made you moan and you felt yourself grow wetter.
"Off" he grunted. You sat up and shimmied your arms out of the sleeves and tossed the ruined dress to the side, leaving you in your cloak, bra and panties. He pushed you back on the bedding and crawled on top of you, resting his knees next to your hips. His mouth began to suck blooming red and purple marks on your neck, and he dragged his fangs over your jugular. You hissed in a breath, rubbing your thighs together. His hands found their previous positions, one fondling your breasts and the other pinning your hip to the blankets as he rested some of his weight on it.
"Zoro~" you moaned. You let your hands trail up his back, dragging your nails lightly over his tanned skin until your fingers tangled in his short green hair. You let your hands run over his ears. You knew they were sensitive, and he rewarded you with a harsher bite to the top of your breast. He unsheathed a claw and sliced open the front of your bra, letting your breasts fall free. His warm, calloused thumb circled a nipple, pebbling it under his touch. His tongue laved over the other, circling it and suckling it until it was hard. He popped off and switched his mouth over to the other one, showing it the same attention as the other cooled quickly. Your fingers scratched his scalp as your hands curled a little in pleasure. He hummed, and you moaned at the vibration against your nipple.
"More. Zoro. Please"
He chuckled darkly at your plea, removing his mouth from your breast to look up at you. His irises were red, and he ran a tongue over his fang.
"Begging already? I've hardly even touched you." His voice was deeper and more gravely, and it made your breath hitch, sending heat to pool in your abdomen. You whined, tugging gently on his hair to guide him between your thighs.
"Not yet, mate. I want you to do something for me first." He ground his clothed cock against you wet panties, groaning deeply at the friction. He was hot and hard in his pants. Your eyes widened at the heat coming off him. You nodded frantically. He smirked at your eagerness.
"There's my good girl." Your body relaxed back, mind starting to feel fuzzy at the praise. He sat back on his heels and stood, and you reached out, already missing his warmth. One of his hands met yours, and you heard a rustling of fabric as he stepped out of his pants.
He helped you sit up on your knees on the bedding, back close to the wall. He stood in front of you. You were face to face with his bobbing cock, and you licked your lips. You've sucked him off before, but he seemed even bigger. Your middle finger and thumb normally could just barely touch if you squeezed around his cock, but now as you roughly teased it, they were about a centimeter apart, and he was even longer. He threw back his head with a groan at your harsh touch.
"You're bigger" you muttered.
"You can take it, can't you?" he cooed. There was a note of worry in his tone, but you nodded, looking up at him. Shadowed with the setting sun filtering through the window at his back as he looked down at you, his eyes glowed red. The orange light reflected beautifully off his green ears. Your heart skipped a beat and your breath hitched with love and lust. He thrusted forward, tapping the tip of his cock against your lips, and you opened obediently and sucked him down. It took some adjusting to get used to his new girth and length. You couldn't swallow him down immediately like you have in the past.
You popped off and stroked his length. He was warmer and heavier than usual, and you tried again. This time, the extra lubrication from your saliva made it much easier, and you hummed around his dick. He swore and gripped the sides of your head in desperation. You bobbed your head a few times, getting used to his length and coating it with your saliva. You let a hand pump the rest of the dick you couldn't reach with your mouth. The ring of his knot was already beginning to form at the base of his cock.
"Shit. That's it. Taking it so good. Fuck!" You moaned at his praise, laving your tongue in circles around the tip, closing your eyes to focus. Once you were used to it, you trailed your free up his thighs to his hips, pushing and pulling slightly. He took the hint and eagerly began fucking your face. You let yourself loll your tongue out, gagging once or twice. It was messy, and tears gathered in your eyes at the burn at the back of your throat as he sheathed himself into your mouth. You felt your saliva dripping off your chin onto your lap, and you looked up at him, tears in your eyes. His brow was furrowed with building pleasure, mouth open as he huffed in breaths as he thrusted. He looked so close, and you had just the thing to send him over the edge.
Your free hand cupped his already tightening balls, and the other that was wrapped around his cock squeezed harshly on his knot. You gagged around the tip as it slipped into your throat. He froze in that position, shaking as he threw his head back with pleasure. His hands tightened around your head, claws lightly scraping against your neck.
"Ah! Fuck! Shit I'm-"
His release spurted hotly down the back of your throat, and you massaged both his balls and knot. His hips stuttered and his hands released your head and slammed on the wall behind you to keep himself upright. You hummed proudly around his cock, and his hips stuttered as the last wave of his orgasm bordered on overstimulation. He slowly drew his hips back, a string of your saliva connecting your lip to the reddened tip.
"You little fucking minx" he growled. You looked up at him with wide eyes, catching your breath and uselessly trying to wipe away the saliva from your chin as you smirked. You watched as he knelt in front of you so you were eye to eye.
"C'mere."
He grabbed the edge of a blanket and wiped your face and thighs, cleaning you quickly before kissing you roughly. His tongue explored your mouth, and you let him before exploring his elongated fangs with yours. Once satisfied, you pulled away.
"Good?" he muttered. You nodded, jaw too tired to form words. Without warning, he maneuvered your body so you were standing with your back resting against the wall. He unclasped your cloak, tossing it to the side. You looked at him curiously as he knelt back down.
"Your turn" he growled. Your stomach swooped. He sliced your panties off your body quickly with a claw, and slung one leg over his shoulder and held your ass as he lifted the other leg over his other shoulder. You squeaked, grabbing his head for balance. He stood easily, sliding your back up the wall and burying his face in your pussy. He held your ass and thighs on his biceps, and his hands grasped you over your ribcage, pinning you back to the wall. The easy demonstration of strength turned you on like nothing else, not to mention what he was doing with his mouth.
You knew that he could change his tongue, but it took you by surprise every time. He was devouring your pussy, nose pressing into your clit as his tongue dove into you, wiggling around and finding your sweet spot with his unnaturally long tongue. You were already close to finishing from the previous sloppy blowjob and his shows of strength.
"Ah! Z-Zoro! Please I'm already close!" you wailed.
"Cum on my fucking tongue" he demanded. The sound of his deep voice vibrating the flesh around your cunt had you spasming in his hold as he laved his tongue over your clit. He swirled his tongue around your clit, extending your orgasm. Your back arched as he suddenly shoved his tongue into your pussy, devouring your release. Your heels dug into his back and one hand clawed into his hair, and the other desperately scratched at the wall behind you.
"Fucking delicious"
You could only moan at this point, and he lowered you down as you twitched on the bedding. He was rock hard again already, and he stroked the purpling tip with a smirk as he licked his lips. His chin was shiny from your release, and he lapped it up with his elongated tongue. Your chest was still heaving as your caught your breath.
"Ready for your alpha's cock, mate?"
He'd never referred to himself as an alpha during sex before, but it did something to you. You nodded eagerly.
"Face down, ass up, baby girl"
You froze in place for a second, staring in shock and desire as your stomach swooped with arousal. You scrambled into position, arching your back with your knees together under your hips. You reached around to spread your cheeks and thighs open for him, revealing yourself to him. The growl he let out was purely animalistic.
"Such a pretty omega pussy. Wanna be filled?"
"Zoro~~ Please! Please fuck me!"
His cock rubbed through your folds, then slid between your slicked thighs. He roughly grabbed your arms, holding both your wrists in one hand, pinning them to your back. He leaned over you, resting his weight on one hand, clawed into the bedding by your head. You moaned at his dominating presence.
"Is that how you address me?"
His cock dragged teasingly along your clit as his hips met your ass. You moaned.
"A-alpha?" you guessed through your sex-hazed brain. He rewarded you with a nip on your shoulder.
"Good girl"
He leaned back to rest his heavy arms on your hips, spreading your ass just a little further. You whined as he dragged his hot dick from between your thighs and aimed it at your soaked cunt. He started out slow, but as soon as you mewled and tensed your back in pleasure, he bottomed out with a harsh thrust. You screamed, the sudden painful stretch blending into ecstasy. He held still, curled over your form as he fell onto his free hand by your head, the other gripping your wrists as he held back from destroying you.
"Good omega" he cooed harshly in your ear. You mewled.
The Zoro you were familiar with was gone. His arms were shaking with the effort of not slamming into your sloppy cunt until it bruised. You wiggled your hips, a silent invitation for him to move. He took it. He sat back up and gripped your hips like handles, releasing your wrists from his grip. He yanked you back to meet his thrusts halfway. His claws dug into your flesh, but didn't draw blood. You were shaking with pleasure, and it felt like you were continuously orgasming. You moaned loudly for him, gripping the blankets beneath you desperately.
You lost track of time, only knowing the cresting and receding continuous pleasure. Your tongue lolled out and your eyes rolled back, whines and moans escaping your throat. Low curses and groans rumbled from Zoro's chest, almost drowned out by the wet sound of skin meeting as he pounded your soaking pussy. He got impossibly faster, and you screamed as he hit something deep inside you. He quickly adjusted his aim, hitting that spot every time his hips slapped against your ass.
"Shit. Fuck. Keep tightening up like that. Fuck. Good omega" he muttered behind you. You felt his knot hitting the rim of your entrance, almost bullying its way into your pussy. Your pleasure was close to cresting, higher than you've ever felt. You could only moan. His knot finally caught on your rim, popping back out once before he slammed it back in. The movement made the tip of his cock push harshly against that one spot deep inside, and you screamed again, body clenched and shaking. His hand snaked around you hips and rubbed your clit, and you fell apart.
Blinding white pleasure sang through your body as your muscles clenched. You felt yourself squirt onto the sheets as Zoro leaned over your back, sinking his fangs into the junction of your neck and shoulder. It hurt for a brief second, but the magic of the bite took hold, and the white hot pleasure of both of your orgasms rocked through your body as he pumped his thick cum into you.
"Fuck I love you, omega. Mate!"
You heard his cry as your vision faded.
You must've passed out, because the next time you opened your eyes, Zoro was cuddling you from behind, his cock slipping out as his knot began to deflate. You must've been asleep for a while if he could pull out.
"Omega awake?"
"mmhm"
"Good. Drink." He ordered, shoving water in your face. You sat up, grimacing as the squelch of cum oozing from you made itself known. You gratefully drank the water, looking at your mate. He was already stroking his cock back to full mast. You smirked. Apparently, you were just getting started.

There are more examples of Zoro's misogyny. When he spared Tashigi and argued with her in Loguetown. When he used the flat of his blade on a female bounty hunter in Whiskey Peak. When he fought Kamazo to save Hiyori and Toko despite them being total strangers.
Those examples help illustrate what Zoro's problem exactly is, which is that he has internalized Kuina's struggles in exactly the wrong way. He took away the lesson that "Kuina was right to feel bad, women are weaker than men and do need protecting".
Based on the Monet fight, I get the impression that Zoro doesn't like that he thinks this way, that it's more subconscious than intentional.
HMMM Tashigi was indeed a bit different cause she looked exactly like Kuina, and that fucked Zoro up. But it wasn't fair on Zoro at ALL to push his own anger and stress on Tashigi, which is why Tashigi got so angry at him. She was literally just existing, and Zoro said he HATED that she existed. How unfair is that on Tashigi?!
Sorry got a wee bit long
Hiyori is also a different case because she ASKED for Zoro's help, and she had a child in hand while being clearly weapon-less and defenceless. I wouldn't say that's a "how Zoro sees women" thing, I'd say that's just a "Zoro does not agree with the strong picking on the weak" thing.
But ofc, when it comes to Monet, that's where it's internalised. Whether Zoro admits it or not, or LIKES IT or not, he's internalised that women ARE weaker. Even MONET calls him out on it, because Zoro did nothing but block her attacks with the blunt of his sword. Zoro sees fighting women as "the strong picking on the weak," as he believes himself stronger due to being a man. This is exactly why Tashigi got so angry at him, and he couldn't even take Monet out - TASHIGI had to deliver the final blow.
When Zoro says he would've done that anyways, Tashigi calls him a fucking liar!! And anon, I agree with you! I agree he took the wrong thing from Kuina's breakdown! Because imagine the person you admire, telling you that YOU'RE going to be stronger because you're a man, and THEY'RE going to be weaker because they're a woman - combined with the fact Zoro was raised by an incredibly sexist man.
I don't think Zoro LIKES that he's like this, I think it eats him up inside! This line of thinking has been programmed into him, and if he's going to be the strongest swordsman, he must take ALL opponents seriously - including women who label themselves warriors. Hell, even SANJI says Zoro's a softie, knowing full well Zoro would not greatly injure Monet.
I know a lot of fans, especially Zoro fans, don't like that this is the case. TONS of people think Zoro should see women as equals due to Kuina, but from what we've seen in the story, it's clearly gone the OTHER way - and there's written reason for it to be like that. The most important thing is this aspect of Zoro, first and foremost, is treated as a FLAW. His hesitance against women on the battlefield is NOT a good thing! One Piece characters ALL have flaws they need to work through, that's what makes them human. Whether we like it or not, this is clearly a WRITTEN FLAW Zoro has, considering it's literally IN the text. We just need to hope it's followed up on eventually!

Sanji and Zoro's Pact/Sanji's love for Nami
One of the things that has been blatant from the beginning of One Piece is how Nami has a special place in Sanji's heart. Whether it derives from admiration, some type of respect or simple, genuine, love (or the three at the same time), there is something there worth noting.
Oda has also dedicated a lot of colorspreads, manga moments and coverpages to show us that. And in recent chapters, he once again brought up how, even when Sanji does show interest in other girls, it's always Nami who is on his mind the most.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Also, when we talk about the colorspreads specifically, it's quite interesting how he includes the two together even when the requests only have to do with one of them, not all the time ofc).
And although Oda does not like to focus on romance and love stories in One Piece, he still seems to use them to advance the plot when they exist
A good example is Boa Hancock, whose love for Luffy motivated her to go an extra mile to help him rescue his brother in Impel Down.
So it feels like Sanji's feelings for Nami might also be used as a way to advance the plot.
How exactly?
Well, if we take a look at Sanji's recent development it has been focusing a lot on his inner war of empathy vs. lack of empathy/love vs. science.
We all know that Sanji has suffered a lot at the hands of scientists (his father and his minions) and of their cruel "experiments" (his brothers).
Because of that bad experience and his strong will, he has always been very certain of what he does not want for his life and of the principles he wants to live up to.
He won't beat women
He will feed anyone who is hungry
He won't use his hands in a fight
However, in recent chapters, his behavior might change since his Germa DNA is no longer latent.
Sanji himself was afraid that it would make him behave like his brothers, and with this panel (and although it seemed to be resolved in Wano), we can still suspect that there might be something there worth worrying about.
Tumblr media
Now, of course if could mean nothing, but I find it unlikely since Oda even chose to switch the direction of the swirls of his eyebrows to show when Sanji's Germa powers are taking over (it's still a bit difficult to know what exactly happens when they "activate" though, since Sanji's exoesqueleton is always active now).
We also have to remember the pact that Sanji and Zoro made. The awakening of his new powers are what motivated Sanji to ask for Zoro's "help", should they get out of hand.
By the end of Wano, it seemed like there was no need for Zoro to keep his promise any longer,
Tumblr media
but if Oda took the time and space to draw panels like the ones below for there to be no pay off in the future, I think he wouldn't have botheredto include them in the first place.
Tumblr media
It's also clear that, because of their frequent bickering, everyone wants to see a Sanji vs. Zoro fight, and the pact that they made might be the way Oda found to make these two fight on equal grounds.
Now, do I think Zoro will kill Sanji, like Sanji himself asked? Not exactly.
I think that Zoro might end up helping Sanji kill this Germa personality that seems to be developing within him... but I don't think Zoro will do it entirely on his own.
The other person who might be extremely important is Nami.
Like I said, with the recent chapters, colorspreads, and cover pages, Oda has been once again showing us how much Nami is special to Sanji. And its worth noting that Sanji has also addressed an interesting power called the "power of love" when he protects Nami.
Tumblr media
Again, it does seem like a gag, but the more we advance in Future Island Arc, the more it seems to be revolving around the subject of science/rationality against love/desire for other characters as well (I.e. Kuma, York).
Another good example is in Thriller Bark.
Tumblr media
Where Sanji fought his "programming" to protect Nami and blamed this behavior to the power of love.
(It's worth noting what Sanji describes what the power of love can do: make the impossible, possible, and blow everything away. Insteresting)
Moving to more recent chapters, we also have this coverpage with its request at the bottom.
Tumblr media
It might seem like any other request made for Oda, but I think it's worth noting what he included in the picture that wasn't in the request.
Two things come in mind:
The raccoon priest using the three sword style to "discipline" Sanji
Sanji's worldly thoughts being especificaly about Nami
This cover page was posted during the Wano arc, around 30 chapters before the Pact, so we can kinda consider the racoon strucking Sanji with Zoro's fighting style as a foreshadow for a future Sanji/Zoro fight, right?
But why did Oda also put Nami there?
Well, as Zoro fights Sanji to honor their pact (maybe with the intention to kill him if he sees no hope)... Nami might be the one to make Sanji return to his normal self before it's too late. Making the impossible, possible *wink, wink*
Remember, it has already happened before at Thriller Bark, and it might be a foreshadow to the moment the Power of Love stops being a gag, and becomes a real type of power that can be used in a battle.
So, in the end, Sanji might go back to normal but with total control over his Germa Power... and maybe with another power up? Hehe, who knows.
And maybe, not only will it be important for Sanji to finally know that he will not behave like his brothers anymore... but maybe also for Nami to see how important she is to Sanji.
Although for the audience, it's clear that Sanji holds Nami in a higher regard, it seems like Nami herself might not be aware of that since Sanji does flirt with a lot of women.
Well, that's it for now. Feel free to tell me what you think hehe
As I have stated in my other theories, I might get some things right, everything wrong or everything (miraculously) right but I don't mind being wrong, since the fun part is to speculate, talk about our favorite ship's and see how Oda surprises us!
Hope you liked the read! 🤗

hello!! ₍₍ ◝( ゚∀ ゚ )◟ ⁾⁾
How are you writer-sama?? (or do you prefer chan?)
I have a request for u! (ノ0)ノ💌 (but idk if you are comfortable doing these characters..😅)
How do you think this introverts: Zoro, Law and Ace (kinda introv?) Would act with their s/o once they're "comfortable enough" with them? cuz I feel like their s/o would have some kind of "privileges" (?) and a somehow "different treatment"?? if you know what I mean (◕દ◕)
bc i think that at a certain point of the relationship they will already know and have already seen all of their different sides and aspects and so they accept them wholely (is that a word?) 😔 so they naturally feel more at ease and kind of lower more their defensive side with them.. 🥺 i hope it's clear 😭 and of course if you want to do it love! It can be a headcanon maybe?and preferably a fem!reader?
Sending love~💚
BYE BYE !! ⋋✿ ⁰ 0 ⁰ ✿⋌
Tumblr media
✸  headcanons  %  being comfortable with their s/o.
Tumblr media
✸    characters! . . .  law, zoro & ace.
✸    cw(s)! . . .  no pronouns used. slight angst in all three. mentions of bathing in ace’s. ( just physical intimacy ) not proofread.
✸    notes! . . .  ofc i’m comfortable with these characters. i can never shut up about them lmaoo. it gives me the opportunity to keep talking about these clowns my loves. thank you for requesting !!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
law will not get into a relationship unless he builds that trust and is comfortable enough with you first
it takes him a lot of time. and i mean a long time. and he doesn’t want you to just sit around and wait for him to be ready because you deserve better
however if you do stay and are willing to wait for him, he can’t pretend that he’s not thankful you will wait
when he finally feels that he is ready, when he is comfortable enough to start a relationship with you, it’s the little things he does. things such as:
him waiting for you at the door of his office, asking if you’re coming in or not. when you know he’s only asking is because he enjoys it when you’re in his office
making sure you eat before he does
relying on you to complete his toughest orders but always making sure to say a quick ‘good luck’ before you go
or even when he smirks when you call him captain
one night in his office, completely out of the blue he tells you the story of corazon. he appreciates how attentive you listen to him, how you rush to his side when he becomes emotional, how you don’t judge him, and how you ask if he needs a hug
he never thought he’d be saying yes to one. but here he was, head in the croak of your neck as you allowed him finally be able to let it out
Tumblr media Tumblr media
zoro, like law, is likely not going to get into a relationship without building up the trust first. however, it doesn’t take him as long to finally give the relationship a shot
he wants to lay everything out on the table before he enters a relationship with you. he wants you to know exactly the kind of man he is
he’s very honest about how he’s never been in a committed relationship before and how he probably couldn’t even try to be the textbook definition of romantic if he tried. but the most important he says is, that he wants to change that, for you
he loves when you take naps with him, while he falls asleep to the rhythm of your breathing. because he can’t sleep unless he knows you are okay
when he’s training he enjoys your company. you don’t even have to be saying anything or doing anything. he just enjoys your company
the way to know if he trusts you or not is if he trusts you with his swords. if you are not a swords-person already, he will definitely try to teach you a trick or two in case you need it in the future
the ultimate test of knowing he trusts you is when he hands you one of his own swords to train you
if you bring it up, he’ll brush off your concerns by admitting that he would trust no one else with his blades
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i may be alone in this BUT at the beginning of your relationship with him, ace is not all that keen on physical affection
he’ll wrestle somebody. but the sheer act of someone wrapping their arms around him in a romantic sense made him a bit uncomfortable
overtime when he finds himself more comfortable and confident in himself and your relationship, he’ll definitely give physical affection a second shot
but in true ace fashion, he’ll probably ask for it in the most nonsensical way possible because nothing is very simple with him
get ready for a lot of cuddling with little spoon ace
ace’s favorite form of physical intimacy is bathing with you. he prefers having his back pressed against your chest while you wash his hair. he feels safe and loved in your arms
it is in one of your baths together that he tells you the truth about his heritage, which he was holding off on because he was worried you’d see him differently
when you express that you don’t care who his parents were and where he came from, he couldn’t be more thankful that he found someone like you

10 characters | 10 fandoms | 10 tags
This is cool, thanks for the tag @transuncletaylor! I think I just talk about my faves right? I know I’m forgetting some but here goes
Sokka (ATLA) : he’s so funny and interesting and his character is So Deep actually! I love a guy with Secret Issues. Must be relatable I guess.
Mako (LOK) : You’re going to start seeing I have a type. Hot, bad boy vibes, seems reckless but has a huge sense of justice actually. Also I LOVE a mysterious and tragic backstory.
Jim Kirk (Star Trek) : I mean the exact same reasons as above pretty much.
Jack Kelly (Newsies) : same hehe. I just love these guys of questionable sexuality who are like a leader of a found family and would do ANYTHING to protect them.
Marius Pontmercy (Les Miserables) : he’s annoying af and doesn’t get the point of anything going on around him but he knows exactly what he stands for. So relatable. His hyperfixation with Napoleon for entirely stupid reasons? Iconic. What a king. Living through a tragedy too? I’m attracted to that angst like flies on shit.
Tommy Shelby (Peaky Blinders) : He’s just badass. The best antihero. He says fuck capitalism and then falls victim to it lol. Also he is a GENIUS and loves to fuck people up to protect his family. Also his trauma is delicious to me ofc.
Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher) : Mysterious hero with pain and a family. So yeah.
Roronoa Zoro (One Piece) : I mean pretty much the same as the majority of this list. Tough guy who would die for his captain omfg
Han Solo (Star Wars) : the og baddie, need I say more
Anya Forger (Spy x Family) : listen it creeps ME out too that a little girl is on the list of me, a grown ass man, but she’s SO funny and her cuteness reminds me of like every student I ever had, I can’t help it

TRANS SANJI RAMBLE!!
I am an enjoyer of headcanons and WILL and HAVE headcanoned the straw hats and other characters with different/conflicting headcanons bc you wanna know why?? I can make different universes and versions of them bc DAMN a lot of these headcanons are hella good
Though I will say, as an enjoyer of headcanons, I am in a drought of transmasc Sanji stuff <\3 I DUNNO IF IM LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACES OR NOT qwq
+before anyone says, I adore transfem Sanji w all my heart and I am glad she gets the representation bc WOW a lot of people are clever w the stuff they come up will, I really do love it and a lot of you even think of things I would’ve never thought about !! ^o^ jus a little bummed out there’s not as much transmasc Sanji content bc as soon as I saw him on screen I was like “the radar is going off”
ps if you read this far, transmasc Sanji headcanons (hear me out, most likely ooc) (also zosan)
I have been thinking about them SOOO MUCH tbh.. Sanji doesn’t feel 100% while cooking because of cramps?? You bet Zoro will notice and try and help out best he can in the kitchen despite how many times he would get kicked and/or yelled at..
sparring?? Sanji feel miserable and always thinks Zoro is going easy on him so he accidentally blurts it out one time while they are going at it and Zoro is just like “No lmao??” And might reveal smth about Kuina.. and then Sanji cries about it because even in smth like sparring he’s seen as equal to him
I think during WCI (I have not.. watched it yet teehee) while Sanji sees his brothers + sister again they’re all like “what the fuck happened to you” and Sanji is all high guarded about it but says he’s trans and he’s a guy now and they’re all like “oh ok, anyway-“ and it goes on like normal but they respect him (please pleaseeee)
Sanji while he’s with Zeff,, ofc Zeff is like “well now I got an 8-9 year old daughter to take care of” and Sanji doesn’t mind at first because he doesn’t exactly know what he’s feeling but he knows that being called “daughter” doesn’t feel right. I feel like he would discover later on what being trans meant from a frequent customer and he’s all happy because!! Wow he found out!! What best describes him!! And the next time he talks to Zeff he’s all like “so you know that regular we get through the door?” And then tells Zeff and Zeff is all like “well then, I’m happy either way for you, do you want your hair cut or different clothes?”
Running with ideas,, Sanji would probably be scared of taking testosterone/one piece equivalent because of the needles if they didn’t have a gel form. Which is why awhile after chopper joins he asks the little reindeer about it..
I also have a feeling Sanji would be afraid of surgery?? He wants to get top surgery but the idea is SO scary to him,, so he ops for binding,,
Mainly Zoro but also the crew has to remind him to not bind for too long since he can get caught up in cooking, Zoro will ALWAYS ask him to take whatever he binds with off before they spar/fight not wanting to let the cook hurt himself
this is it this is the post (I’m so mentally I’ll)

Hey there @showergelfan hope you don't mind me ranting a bit ;;
Tumblr media
Well it's... Complicated at least.
I can't talk for anyone else, i don't hate Nami or anyone who supports her, I'm clearly biased and the situation was messy enough, however over the years the more i think about it the more it hurts me! Maybe I've thought on it way more than necessary...
You can hate Sanji on any arc but Whole Cake. I'm sorry if I sound a bit salty.
One thing Nami is completely right about is that Sanji put her through hell, but i hate to disagree, most of it wasn't directly Sanji's fault and this bugs me specially since he was already blaming himself and she made him actively feel worse... Which was the point, but damn it made me feel sad!
I can only give her credit for being so brave as to accompany Luffy willingly when her usual reaction is to hide away at danger which does show she cares about him a lot! And she probably was pretty tired, scared and horrified at the moment the fight between two of her oldest friends happened, which is all reasonable and i feel very sorry for her.
But so was Sanji. Through the entirety of the arc it's like he's constantly kicked while down in the ground, he is abused mentally and physically restlessly, and I've heard so many people saying he was having a good time or that he was such a loser for just going after a girl, it makes me sick... Like are we seeing the same thing here? He actively shows how stressed and grossed he is, voicing all the time he doesn't wants anything to do there.
Tumblr media
He was a hostage, Oda made it really good at setting the high stakes as to why he was so trapped. And part of that cage was made up by Sanji's state of mind.
By the way, I feel this moment doesn't gets the attention it should...
Tumblr media
Just one more display Germa wouldn't hesitate to do worse things with any of Sanji's significant ones, and Judge has just been introduced... This just adds up to Sanji's distress along the sight of the laboratory and let's not even talk about what happened to Cossette after he tried to protect her, which could serve to further enforce the idea that in the end he was helpless, his futile efforts to resist only brought pain to inocents
Sanji choose to left without explaining so Nami has a reason for doubting and being confused, for all she knows he left the crew one day and the next time he said it was all an act, he never said a thing about being a prince and suddenly there he was all suited like royalty? He had siblings? Maybe it really was a all a lie. All of their efforts to get there looked stupid, ofc she can get angry! It is a shitty situation, and after the fight honestly that's what Sanji was looking for in the end he got just what he asked for...
Tumblr media
But i get iffy on here, in one hand Nami knows him, knows his kindness and has been witness or the reason of some of his sacrificial moments, and also she's literally been through the same situation when she left the crew all the way back in Arlong Park, yeah she never really hurt Zoro or Usopp she should be able to sniff it out. I will give her the benefit of the doubt and say she was too overwhelmed at the moment, even if she didn't cared it would be half okay. This just hurts me in contrast with how mindful Sanji is towards her, he even was willing to go against Jinbe in Gyojin Island if Nami would have said so... Of course that doesn't means Nami should give him the same treatment at all, but hey ;; You can't tell me she didn't knew or meant her words to hurt Sanji, in my eyes that's what she was going for... Which is harsh considering all he's been doing, has been in the mindset that it was the only way to save all of them... But it could be fair considering how much he hurt Luffy, the difference being he wanted the crew to be safe even if it meant they had to leave him behind, while i don't know if Nami meant any good behind her actions. None of them are exactly good either way.
Up to this point it was mostly fine, I guess, drama and all i love good drama, and it was oddly satisfying to see this in an arc surrounded by arranged marriages, betrayals and all of that, a slap was just fitting. Emotions getting out of control and finally colliding.
But something i'd like to point out is that Sanji's face had already been hurt, at first by Judge and then most importantly by his brothers...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Remember the mask Reiju put on him to make the swelling go away, but not the pain, this was just before they met.
Tumblr media
Yes he was still wearing it when Nami slapped him. It's funny how it shows Sanji's been putting on a mask, the only one who saw through it was Luffy... And its interesting considering he refused to hit him until he took it off.
When he does take the mask off it's to Pudding, after everything's been said and done, he explains again why it happened in detail. In case someone forgot.
Tumblr media
Up to that point he thought he had sorted it out, believing Big Mom's promise to let his friends get away safely and even wishing them well without him, the amount of panels of him sitting by himself just going circles on his head are very emotional to me ;;
Tumblr media
And i don't even have to talk about the devilish way that sweet moment of vulnerability was used against him when he heard Pudding not only making fun of him but nailing on everything he's been conscious about since his childhood, he realized way too late he fucked up for good, and might as well just die since he had nothing to live for.
I also think people don't really talk about how he thought he deserved to die along his family.
That it would be better for everyone else.
Sure he never explained things to Nami she didn't knew a thing about all of this, but I do and it's hurting me! What bothers me the most is that she still brings it up after he decides to come back, giving him the cold shoulder... It's like she mocks him telling "she won't let him rest"... Instead of maybe be interested on hearing him out? I don't know! Girl i think it's not the best thing to say right now, it's like going straight against Luffy's "Well that's just the way you are!" Sanji IS an idiot, but instead of saying something to encourage him or make him see it's safe to rely on her, she just... I won't forgive you... I'm not saying she can't be mad at him, but maybe a little add on would have gone a long way specially from her.
For all i know it would have been an interesting opportunity to make Sanji stand up for his feelings for once, instead of always enduring it, and it would be awesome to see them speaking directly even briefly, instead of the whole thing being washed away. But i know that will never happen.
I don't know what Nami was thinking about when she slapped him, i don't think she meant to cut ties she looked really confused as to what to do next but she wasn't nearly as hopeful as Luffy, maybe she never felt bad about doing it so it's just sad. And if this sounds like I'm pitying Sanji way too much, well maybe I am! I'm allowed to do so, Oda gave me permission.
It's complicated and I'll probably never find a middle point, both of their emotions are valid. I shouldn't be thinking who suffered more or who was willing to sacrifice more... But here I am!
Everyone in the crew deserves a good hug and they don't get it, istg Oda give me wholesome group hug.

Chapter 19: The struggle
"It's been three days already, how long are you going to keep this up?"
"Until he gets his shit together,"
"Maybe it wouldn’t last this long if you’d just talk to him?" She shot him a sharp look, which was met with a smirk. "Or don't, either way I'm good."
She knew he was telling the truth since the bond was wide open, contrary to Law who kept his side constantly blocked.
"I thought you'll try to play a middle man, like Law did to get us bonded."
Zoro snorted. "It's your problem, not mine. Talking about him would only get me into the dog house and I like fucking you. Besides, there's more space on the bed when it's only me and Law."
"Are you serious?" she shouldn't feel affronted and yet she did. How dare he say they're better off without her.
He arched his brow and she realized he was baiting her but it did little to appease her anger.
"You don't know what you want, do you?" the lazy smirk was still on Zoro's face and the more she looked at him, the more frustrating it became.
"I don’t want to talk about Law."
"It’s not about Law, it’s about you," he stood up and stepped towards her, wrapping his arms around her waist. His scent as usual put her at ease and for a moment she forgot why she was angry.
Her eyes fell shut and she sank into the bond, allowing herself to be in the present with him, without any problems or things to figure out. And he indulged her, like he usually did.
The rest of the world fell away and there was only them, together.
She returned the embrace and leaned her forehead against his. He was so warm and calm she wanted to stay like this forever. And the beautiful thing about the bond was that she knew he felt exactly the same. There was no doubt, no guessing or hoping, just the surety he wanted and accepted her.
Warm, swelling feeling rose in her chest and met the same sensation from Zoro.
But it quickly transformed into stabbing, gripping fear and the blissful connection was gone. She yanked herself back, trying to escape, but he held her firmly against him, looking her straight in the eye.
He didn't say a word, just held her with a knowing expression on his face.
The same solid understanding gripped her in the bond. There was no running, he already knew and wanted her to acknowledge the same.
She deflated, giving up on shoving down all the feelings that swarmed her over the last few days.
It wasn't about Law, as usual it was all about her fucked up head.
She caught Zoro's gaze while a pout crawled on her lips.
He huffed out a laugh and ruffled her hair. "Go talk to him."
"What about you?"
"You can both thank me later," he leaned in and gave her a quick kiss. Then released her and pointed her towards the door.
With a deep sigh she left to find Law.
It wasn't hard. Even if he blocked the bond, she still could sense where he was.
She pushed open the door to the captain's quarters and stood on the threshold, her eyes zeroing on Law.
He was sitting in the chair by the desk, leaning his head on his fist while the desk in front of him was littered with books, pieces of paper and quills.
He met her gaze without moving an inch. His face had a blank expression and the bond felt equally empty.
She stood there waiting for his reaction.
She made the first move by showing up, now it was his decision if he wanted to meet her in the middle.
The chair made a scraping sound when Law pushed it back from the desk, facing her while remaining seated.
The blankness of his face faded a fraction and a barely there softness appeared in his eyes.
It was enough.
She swung the door shut and stepped towards him. She slid into his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck.
There was a hand on the back of her head and a strong arm circled her waist. He held her gently, while relief trickled from his side of the bond.
Her heart squeezed, when he opened the bond and she could feel him again. A shaky sigh escaped her lips, when the bonds adjusted and everything fell in the right places. There was Zoro's content smugness and Law's steady presence in the bond. She closed her eyes, reveling in the feeling of both of her mates.
She inhaled Law's scent, realizing how much she missed it for the past few days. And his warmth, his touch, his sarcastic remarks.
They sat there for who knows how long, just being in each other's presence, reconnecting after the separation which in that moment felt completely unnecessary. She did not want to talk, hating everything about her that led to the fight they had. But it seemed inevitable, because Law deserved to know.
"You asked me to be yours," Law's smooth voice broke the silence, causing her heart to speed up anxiously. "What did you mean by that?"
She leaned back, her palms sliding down to rest on his chest.
"Why do you ask about that?"
"Because it seems we have a different understanding of that request."
She drew in a shaky breath, lovering her eyes.
Was it shame she felt? What did she mean when she asked them to be her mates? Was it the same as her mother expected from her mates?
Sin D. Veshti treated her mates as pawns in her grand plan. They were bodyguards and useful tools to achieve her goals. Rage always thought she did love them in a way, but she wasn't sure if her mother truly knew how to love anyone but herself.
"When I was a kid," she started still not looking up at Law. "I thought that one day I will have my own mates who will love me. Together we'd sail the seas, have all the adventures and live happily ever after. But that was a child's dream. The more I grew and learned about bonds and the Naga, I understood that mating was a transaction. People who were willing to bond to a Naga had some kind of unfulfilled emotional needs, either from broken childhood or some kind of turbulence during their lives. In exchange for protection Nagas fulfilled that need and the bonds were the tool to assure the mates’ happiness." She paused to glance up at Law. His golden eyes were regarding her calmly, and her words didn't stirr any emotional reaction from him. "I suppose it took me a long time to form my first bond, because I was well protected, either by people around me and I was confident in my own strength to never feel the need for protectors. Even Kisa wasn't truly a protector. I bonded with her shortly after Bambakam, when I was mentaly unstable and her level of crazy matched mine. She was my shield against the sane people around me, who tried to make me see reason again. Unintentionally, she was the one who brought me sanity, showing me that the road I chose was a dead end." She fluttered her fingers over Law's cheek, swallowing the lump that formed in her throat. "When I woke up next to you that day, it all seemed so simple again. I was free from my family, the missions and obligations andI felt like my new bonds could be different, like I could choose my own way of sharing a life with mates. It felt so real at that time."
"And now?" Law reached up to hold her palm in his.
"It's all mixed up," she answered honestly, squeezing his fingers. "You never told me what you wanted from me."
"You didn't tell me either."
The fear that gripped her at the mere thought of voicing her desires was like a vice on her lungs, preventing her from taking a full breath.
Don't be naive, there are no happy endings in this world.
"Rage," Law's voice made her focus on his face again. "Where is this fear coming from?"
She stared at him, stuck between wanting to laugh, cry and lash out.
"There is no happiness in this world, there's only fleeting pleasure between pain and despair."
He held her gaze steadily, searching her face and prodding at the bond. "Does it mean, you don't want to give in because you think you'll lose us anyway or that we will hurt you?"
She struggled to stay still and not slip off his lap and back away from the conversation. But running away was pointless, it was a road to nowhere and Law deserved to know.
"I...I'm afraid Law," she gripped his hand tight. "There's so much doubt why these bonds happened. You jumped right in without really knowing me, without seeing what I am capable of. You agreed to bond because you knew you could get rid of it anytime. At some point you can decide it's too much for you and you'll be gone, probably with Zoro in tow."
"Break-ups are a possibility in every relationship."
"But bonding is not a normal relationship," she protested, trying to refrain from trembling. "You don't understand. It's a codependency. I struggled with the concept of bonding since I've realized it's not as perfect as it sounded. I don't want to fix other people's issues, I don't want to be somebody else's anchor. People should fix their own heads, not fixate on someone else to do it for them. It's not right. That's not love. Love is when you help someone stand on their own two feet so they can thrive on their own, not carrying them through life on your back."
"So you want love," there was a small satisfied smile on his lips.
She swallowed the lump in her throat and looked into his eyes. "I guess I do. I just don't know what to do about it."
"Zoro told me about your family and the Witch Doctor, I hope that's ok with you."
"Yeah," she furrowed her brows, confused why he brought that up. "Whatever I tell either of you, it’s fine if you share it with each other. I don’t have to repeat the same story twice.”
Law tangled their fingers together and lowered their hands to lay on her tight.
"It sounds to me like you are conflicted between what you want and what you learned this mating stuff is supposed to be. You grew up with an idea that wasn't entirely appealing to you, but you wanted it to some extent. The way I see it, you don't have to look back and compare everything to your family's dynamic with their mates. You can have this in whatever way you like. Just make up your mind."
"That's easy to say," she lowered her eyes to their intertwined fingers.
Law reached with his other hand and slipped his fingers under her chin, pushing gently to lift her head. She met his calm gaze again.
"I already regret saying this, but maybe you should take an example from Luffy. He is insufferable at times but when he wants something he doesn't dwell on it. He makes a choice and sticks to it. Bearing the consequences of our decisions can be easier than dwelling in constant indecision."
A frown pulled at the corner of her lips. "Did you seriously set fucking Luffy as an example of good life choices?"
Law sighed. "Not my finest moment, I know. But you picked him as a mate for some reason."
"Not for his brilliance that's for sure."
His lips stretched in a smirk and his eyes twinkled with amusement.
"You seem to have that in common.”
Her eyes grew wide, while stunned surprise made her speechless.
The corners of his eyes crinkled while he held back his laughter.
"Did you just put me on the same level of stupid as Strawhat Luffy?" she gripped the front of his shirt.
He let out a soft chuckle while putting his hands in the air.
"From my point of view, you tend to make the same kind of reckless decisions regularly. w
What else should I call it?"
The frown on her face deepend and she narrowed her eyes. "Is this about the elephant? It was a necessary risk and it paid off."
"I think Luffy would say the same about every stunt he'd pulled."
"You're seriously overdoing it Law..." she nearly growled but a smile pulled at her lips.
She missed this kind of banter with him.
She gripped his shirt tighter and pulled him in for a kiss.
The relief of feeling his lips on her own again was immense, it felt like they were physically reconnecting.
Law slipped his hand into her hair to cup the back of her head and with the hand wrapped around her waist he pulled her closer against him.
She tried to shift her position to straddle his lap, but the armrests got in the way. Law smirked into the kiss at her annoyance with the stupid chair.
A tug on her hair broke the kiss and pulled her back.
"I believe we haven't finished talking," he continued to smirk, while a playful spark danced in his eyes.
"We can talk later," her answer earned her another pull on the hair.
"Isn't it considered unhealthy to end a fight wih sex without talking out the problem first?" he said into her ear, his voice low and smooth.
Her pussy clenched in response.
Law chuckled softly and released her hair, leaning back in the chair.
"Who made that rule? It's a stupid rule," she answered with a pout which earned her another low chuckle.
Oh, he knew exactly what kind of effect he had and he was doing it on purpose, enjoying seeing her squirm.
"I'm set on doing things the right way with you," he stated, watching her intently and his declaration did funny things to her insides. The fluttery feeling in her stomach was quite unexpected. "I want you to live and I want to protect you, I want to love you and have a future with you." She felt her eyes grow bigger with every word and her chest got tight. She expected this kind of declaration from Zoro, but not from Law. "I admit I was wrong trying to keep information from you. I was afraid you would harm yourself by trying to test if you had the same abilities as Ivankov. I won't do it again. But you have to understand, your devil fruit is different from the original one and it causes a lot of strain on your body. When you use your powers your health and lifespan are affected and that makes me scared I'll lose you."
There was a hint of raw emotion in the bond but otherwise he was calm and collected, as if he already made peace with his feelings.
She tried to sort through the whirlwind of emotions his words caused while staring at him. Maybe he was the mate she dreamed about long ago. Maybe this man would make her dream come true. All it took was for her to muster the courage to give it a chance.
Do it. Fucking do it. You'll regret it forever if you won't do it.
She sucked in a deep breath and exhaled, feeling her anxiety drain as her lungs emptied. The fear was still there, but she chose to disregard it.
She reached up and held his face in her hands. "I want to love you too." She placed a tender kiss on his lips, reveling in the warmth that flooded the bond from his side. She smirked into the kiss. "Will you fuck me now?"
He didn't respond with words. Instead he gripped her hips, stood up and carried her to bed.
--------------
There was a giddy outburst in the bond that distracted him from his research.
Rage was standing by the bookcase, staring at one of the books with barely suppressed laughter.
They were confined in his room for hours, doing research on awakening devil fruits. So far, they already found the necessary information, they were just doing final touch ups needed for their respective devil fruits. And up to this point Rage was laser focused on her research, which frankly helped his concentration span.
She let out a giggle then took the book and hopped on the bed next to napping Zoro, purposefully jostling the swordsman.
"Hey, look at this," with a wide grin she put the opened book in front of Zoro’s face.
The swordsman gave a loud yawn before focusing on the pages. He squinted, looked at Law then at the book again.
"The hat looks different," Zoro said to Rage.
"I get serious stoner vibes," she answered, her grin growing even wider.
He used Shambles to get the book from her. Between the pages was a photo of him and his crew, it was taken just before Sabaody Archipelago.
He closed the book and turned in the chair to give his two mates a scathing look.
"Hey, I just said your hat was different, don't get mad at me, be mad at her," Zoro responded dryly.
"Hey!" Rage protested, jabbing her finger between his ribs.
"You've seen the hat before," Law leered at the swordsman.
"I did?" there was an uncertain note in Zoro's voice.
Motherfucker.
"I was at the auction house at Sabaody two years ago when Luffy punched the Celestial Dragon," Zoro stared blankly and his side of the bond was completely silent. "Afterwards, I fought the Marines with Luffy and Kid, you were there too."
"Oh, you fucked up," Rage whispered barely containing her laughter.
The swordsman still stared at Law, his face blank.
Irritation made his blood pump faster and he made sure that his mate could feel it clearly.
"You told me you fell in love when you first saw me at Punk Hazard, but you don't remember me from two years ago when you actually saw me for the first time?"
Rage patted Zoro on the shoulder and the swordsman sat up, his blank facade crumbling into a sheepish expression.
"Second time's the charm?" Zoro offered lamely.
Rage broke down into a loud cackle. "He saw you with his left eye, but he lost it somewhere and that's why he doesn't remember."
"Shut up," Zoro bit back, but his lips trembled giving away his amusement.
That was it. He was done with these idiots.
Law gathered books from his desk and went to deposit them on the bookshelf ignoring the other two people in the room.
There was some rustling behind him and when he turned they were both standing in front of him, smiling like lunatics. And just when he was going to tell them to get out of his way, they both dropped to their knees, their expressions changing in an instant.
Words died in his throat, as he was suddenly rendered speechless. His mind blanked out at the sight.
Rage smile dropped, her lips parted slightly and the tip of her tongue traced the underside of her upper lip.
"We upset you," Rage spoke, her voice low and sultry. "Let us apologize."
He felt broad hands touch his legs and slowly travel up from his calves to his hips. At the same time Rage reached up to pop open the button on his pants and Zoro pulled down the zipper. His pants and underwear were pulled down only far enough to free his cock.
From both sides two tongues traced his length from the tip to the base. And as if they were in sync, they moved back again this time with flattened tongues.
He couldn't take his eyes from the two heads moving in unison, his hands itching to bury his fingers in their hair. But he didn't want to interrupt them by taking control, so he gripped the bookshelf behind him instead.
When their heads moved again to the tip, they didn't slide back. Instead they kissed, open mouthed, with lips slick with saliva and his cock between them. Their lips locked around the head of his cock as their tongues danced around, seeking each other and caressing him at the same time.
His head fell back and he shut his eyes, focusing only on feeling. Watching them was too much of a risk of coming too soon. He would not give them the satisfaction.
A hand wrapped over the base of his cock and moved in slow circular motion, while the kiss ended and his cock was enveloped by a warm and wet mouth.
Rage's hand and Zoro's mouth.
The swordsman sucked and Law groaned, gripping the shelf harder. Zoro's mouth was relentless and strong. Law was sure he wouldn't last long if the swordsman put all his strength into sucking him off.
Just when he was ready to open his eyes again, the mouth and hand were gone, replaced by softer lips.
He looked down. Rage took Zoro's place, her lips covering the tip of his cock, while her tongue darted out to lick the underside. Law met her eyes and she smiled, then winked which was the only warning he got before she swallowed him whole.
He hissed, clenching his fists and trying really hard not to come. This woman had no gag reflex at all. His cock was lodged in her throat, while he could feel her nose bury in his pubic hair. Then she swallowed around him and the back of his head hit the book spines behind him with a loud groan escaping his lips.
There were hands on his hips, holding him still, and he reached down to pull the swordsman up.
He smashed their lips together in a hungry kiss. He held Zoro's head in place, while he plundered the mouth that was sucking his cock just moments ago.
Rage released him, only to swallow him back again and setting a fast pace. Each time, she took in his entire length, sucking when she moved back and speeding up with every few strokes.
Just when Law was sure he wasn't going to last, he stopped Rage and pushed Zoro down, shoving his cock into the swordsman's mouth. He took hold of Zoro's head and fucked his face until an orgasm hit him. He shot his cum deep in the swordsman's throat, while his legs nearly gave out under him.
He released Zoro's head and leaned back against the bookshelf, drained and panting.
"Apology accepted."
Rage shot him a satisfied smile and leaned to kiss Zoro, licking into his mouth like she was seeking Law's taste on the swordsman's tongue.
They were both aroused.
Good.
Law pulled up and zipped his pants. Then he walked past his mates, heading towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Zoro rasped, his arousal vivid in the bond.
"You wanted to apologize and you did. I don't owe you anything." And he left.
—--------------------
"Hey, Kin'nemon," Rage called while walking into the rec room. "I need a favor."
The samurai were talking about the Red Scabbards and other people who could become their allies.
Kin'nemon and Kanjurou wouldn't be able to appear in public, so they all agreed that Law should find their potential allies and bring them to talk with the samurai. Raizo would be of assistance from the shadows but even he wouldn't be able to roam free in case other ninjas would spot him.
"What do you need?" the samurai addressed Rage.
"Could you change my clothes into a courtesan’s usual outfit? I need to check how many weapons I can hide on me."
This should be interesting. The samurai were still not convinced with this particular cover she chose, which Rage disregarded completely.
Truth be told, Law wasn't sure how to feel about it either.
Kin'emon stood up and placed a piece of paper on Rage's head. With a poof her clothes changed into a multilayered kimono, painted with a floral pattern and a huge belt wrapped into a bow on her belly. The clothes were long enough to fall to the floor and cover her feet. Her hands vanished into billowy sleeves. There was also an abundant ornamental headpiece in her hair.
Rage blinked several times, raised her arm to look at the sleeves then her gaze shifted down, inspecting her front.
She looked at Kin'emon, her expression puzzled. "Is unpacking the woman a part of a foreplay in Wano? There's a lot going on in the clothes departement."
"I don't know what to tell you," Kin'emon looked embarrassed and tried to back out of the conversation.
"Oh come on, don't be a prude," she chastised. "I'm used to something completely diffent when it comes to selling sex. My boobs and butt are completely covered. Everything is covered, even my hands."
"That's because what is hidden is considered beautiful," Kanjuro supplied with a polite smile.
"So what's the beauty standard?"
"A slender figure, small lips painted red on a face that is painted white. Small graceful hands and small feet."
"I see," Rage frowned and tried to pace around the room, but the long clothes got in her way. She pulled at the kimono with irritation. "This is hindering movement a lot."
"Oirans aren't really expected to move around much," Kanjuro replied with a small smile.
“The heavy, overflowing clothes are supposed to prevent an orian from running away;” Raizo provided, looking grimm.
"So it’s not sex work but trafficking,” Rage scrunched her nose, while regarding her clothes. “Well this bullshit attire is still better than being chained to a wall or constantly drugged."
She tried to roll up the sleeves to free her hands.
"No, Rage-san! You can't do that, only workers in the field roll up their sleeves," Kin'emon protested, looking horrified. "This is silk. It will be permanently wrinkled if you do that!"
"How am I supposed to do anything if the sleeves are so long?"
"You don't, there would be a handmaiden assigned to tend to you."
"Also your hair would be styled very firmly, so you'll have to sleep only on your back, with a specially designed wooden piece to hold your head in the air so you wouldn't ruin your hair."
"You're full of shit. What's the point if the clients would ruin the hair anyway."
"They won’t."
"What? No hair pulling?"
The samurai just shook their heads.
Rage frowned.
Law nearly laughed. He could sense the disdain for the information she was provided with. He'd experienced a small part of her abilities and he was impressed. The informtion about Wano's sex workers seemed heavily restricting.
"You know what, I can hide a lot in these clothes, I could even wear something entirely different underneath without anyone noticing. But otherwise, I don't like it."
The samurai looked smug, like they purposefully highlighted every nuisance of her cover that would make her reconsider.
"I was planning a domme cover, but this is just...not it. This screams vanilla, even with all the belts that could be used as restraints," she sighed heavily and started to pace around deep in thought. Her every step made a loud sound of wood on metal, muffled slightly by the material of the kimono.
"Isn't the domme cover a bit of a stretch for you?" Zoro commented and Law was surprised he was awake. "Can you even pull it off?"
She waved him off without looking his way. "You assume that solely on our dynamic? I'm a switch."
"Who's a switch?" Penguin asked, tilting his head to the side.
"A person that is comfortable being a submissive or a dominant during a scene."
"Scene?"
"That's what a bdsm session is called."
"You mean sex."
Law threw Penguin a curious look. Where were these questions coming from?
"Not necessarily. Sex isn't always the goal. It's the act of surrender for a submissive partner and the power over another person for a dominant. It comes in many forms. Some people want to be humiliated, some want pain, others want to give up control completely. It's achieved by different means, it can be very personal and intimate, so trust is required between both partners. Of course there's always the option of a quick beating and equally quick fuck, but it's not really what most people look for."
There was a brief longing in the bond that made Law frown.
"So it's like the stereotypes say, people who are into that are sadists and masochists."
She stopped in her tracks and looked at Penguin, considering her response.
"It's more than that. But I chose this role, because I don't really want to engage in any sex. I don't know what are the standards for hygiene, or disease prevention, how workers are treated by patrons or their employers. So I want to make my own rules. I don't expect it will be easy to establish but I'd like to try. There are not many options for me because of my skin color. If this cover doesn't take it's either the streets for me or being confined on the ship for fuck knows how long. I'm not very good at sitting on my ass and twirling my thumbs."
"Is it really that bad in Wano?" Penguin asked Kin'emon. "Are her options for blending in that limited?"
"You have to understand," a regretful frown pulled at the samurai's mouth. "Wano was isolated from the world for centuries. Rage-san is one of the first people with dark skin I have seen in my entire life and I'm fairly sure none of my ancestors since the void century had seen a human with brown or black skin."
"Diversity came to Wano with the Beast Pirates," Raizo chimed in. "It's associated with outsiders and oppressors. This can change when Wano's borders are opened, but right now, Rage-san is most likely to be shunned and experience physical harm if she decides to blend in with regular people."
"So she is also likely to be treated badly in a brothel?"
Raizos mouth formed a thin line and his silence was an answer of its own.
"Now, now, don't get so dramatic," Rage chimed in with a shake of her head. "Violence is a part of the gig."
"What?" Zoro bristled.
She just shrugged like it wasn't a big deal. "Well, it's not ok, but it happens a lot. Some men seem to think that when they pay for sex, they own the sex worker and can do whatever they want to them. In Sin City we deal with this kind of clients quickly and firmly. But there are places that don't give a shit if a worker is beat up or even killed." She raised her hand to silence the protests. "That's why I aim for a domme role. Usually the sub can't touch their domme without permission and if they do, they get punished. I don't know if any brothel owner would agree to host such a service since it appears it's not something that is a standard practice. But maybe I can convince one person to try something new. After what you told me I assume quite a few people might be bored with their sex life and would be willing to try something new, even if it is on the extreme side. It could be even more enticing due to my skin color."
"You thought it over quite toroughtly," Penguin seemed impressed.
"Of course I did," she shrugged the praise like it didn't mean anything to her. "Half assed plans are the reason people get killed."
That was a jab aimed at the plan they came up with and at Strawhat's in general.
"Anyway, do I need to take it off to get rid of this thing or can you just poof it away?" she addressed Kin'emon while pulling at the outer layer of the kimono.
"Leave it," Zoro interjected, his arms crossed over his chest while his eye was laser focused on Rage.
"Fine," Rage answered without any enthusiasm, even when Zoro's suggestion was clearly hinting at sex.
It was strange. Law regarded her carefully, delving into the bond for anything unusual.
"I might as well practice walking in this getup. I swear a leather catsuit is easier to move around than this. No offense Kin'emon, it's really well made, and the fabric is wonderful, it's just … too much."
"No offense taken," the samurai bowed his head. "Rage-san, your circumstances were different when we asked for your help. I see now that we are putting you at a huge disadvantage. It wouldn't be fair of us to expect you to keep your promise, since it's mostly our people's prejudice that is being a threat to you. The same people that you agreed to help."
Surprise dribbled into the bond, which caused an avalanche of quickly changing emotions, too fast for Law to recognize all of them. And as abruptly as it started, it screeched to a halt and the bond became silent.
"Thank you" Rage answered with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "I don't want to back out of this." Then she turned to the room. "I have something to show you."
She managed to extract her palm from the sleeve and extended her hand. She closed her eyes in concentration and on her upturned palm appeared a small orb of slowly moving energy.
She opened her eyes and threw the sphere to Penguin who caught it easily.
He seemed to realize what he did the moment his fingers closed around the energy ball and he looked at Law with panic in his eyes like he was holding a bomb.
"Don't worry, it's for healing," Rage explained. "I can already boost someone's healing by touching them but now I can put that ability into a small ball for later use. At first the balls vanished after an hour, but I managed to extend the time to twelve hours. Robin is helping me test it and she has a sphere with her to check how long it will last."
She flexed her wrist and the sphere in Penguin's hold came back to her and vanished. "Sorry, I don't have the spare energy to leave this with you."
In that moment Law realized what was off about her. She was tired, but she managed to hide it, so he couldn’t sense it in the bond.
She was using her devil fruit to develop this new technique and it burned through her energy.
The last time she’d absorbed hormones was on Zou and it lasted longer than expected. She hasn’t drawn anything from him or Zoro due to the forming bonds and it was still more than a week until the ship would reach Wano.
“No problem, it’s not like I need it,” Penguin replied with a reassuring smile.
“You can incorporate this into the plan,” she turned to the samurai. “Just take into account supplies for me. And by supplies I mean humans. I can’t use animal hormones to get back my strength. I suppose since I’m part human, part Naga, I’m able to use hormones from either species. I can manipulate animal hormones, but absorbing them makes me sick.” She looked around the room. “To be absolutely clear. To make a supply of healing balls I’d need to absorb a lot of hormones, which means I’ll be killing a lot of people in the process. It’s up to you if you decide to use my ability or not. Think it through.” She turned towards the door, reaching down to untangle the fabric which was twisted around her ankles. “Now, I’m going to leave you fine gentlemen to your planning, I’ve got shit to do. And you,” she thrust her chin toward Penguin. “Find me later, I’ll tell you all about the stuff you’re curious about.”
“Wha-” Penguin’s mouth dropped. “But I don’t…”
She walked out of the room before he could finish.
Law found Zoro’s gaze and in unison they stood up and followed Rage without any word to the people in the rec room.
Rage was exhausted. How did they miss it? She wasn’t blocking the bond, everything seemed fine. But after watching her carefully he just knew she wasn’t well.
They caught up to her easily. The oiran getup was slowing her down.
He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, realizing she was matching his height, which meant she was wearing some kind of platform shoes.
It was a strange experience being able to hold her gaze without looking down.
“What’s the hurry?” he asked with a small smile.
She let out a sigh and annoyance bloomed in the bond. “I fucked you in the morning. If you are horny again just fuck each other. I’m busy.”
“You need to rest,” he stated, disregarding her prickly attitude.
“I’ll rest, when I’m dead,” she shrugged his arm and turned away from him, heading towards the gym.
The annoyance flickered out from the bond like a blown out candle and was replaced by hard determination. Their brief confrontation already shoved aside as her attention moved to whatever she had planned for the rest of the day.
Zoro stepped forward, grabbing her by the ornamental belt and pulled her back.
She lost her balance and fell backwards straight into the swordsman’s arms.
He hauled her up, sliding his arms under her knees and around her shoulders. One of the ornamental pins fell out from her hair and vanished with a small poof.
“Put me down,” she hissed, gripping his shirt.
Law once saw her getting out of that kind of hold, by gripping Zoro’s shoulder, flipping her legs around it, then sliding down to stand behind the surprised swordsman.
This time however the abundant clothes successfully hindered her agility.
Exasperation burst in the bond.
“Don’t try anything,” Zoro warned with disdain. “If I drop you, you’ll probably twist your ankle trying to land on your feet. Then you’ll waste energy on healing yourself.”
“I’m wasting my time right now,” she shot back.
Law walked into his cabin and held the door for Zoro to pass through.
“Nah, we’ll make it worth your while,” the swordsman countered with his trademark grin.
“Zoro,” she warned, her voice flat.
That would be enough for Law to stop pushing and try to reason with her, but Zoro apparently didn’t give a fuck.
He threw her on the bed and climbed on top, straddling her hips.
Again, if not for the clothes she could’ve dislodged him easily.
“Stop with the bullshit,” the swordsman gathered her sleeves and held them in one hand, restraining her hands. “They gave you an easy out, why didn’t you take it?”
“The fuck is your problem? I promised to help, I won’t go back on my word!” She bristled.
For a moment Law thought Zoro would believe her, but the swordsman let out a snort.
“Bullshit, you wouldn’t bat an eye at ditching them.”
“Wow, you know me so well,” she replied, her words dripping with sarcasm.
“You didn’t give any reason why you won’t back out and you love having the moral high ground. You train so much, I’m surprised that pole is still in place and you use your powers all the time, developing new techniques. What are you scheming?”
"I'm preparing for a battle with an emperor of the seas."
Zoro laughed. "You won't be fighting Kaido. Luffy will take him on."
"Sure he will," she snapped, her words still dripping with sarcasm.
“You’re barely a month out of prison, you nearly died,” Zoro’s tone became serious. “You just healed yourself, you can’t expect to be back in your prime in a couple weeks.”
She closed her eyes and let out a loud breath, everything in her seemed to deflate, including any front she put up in the bond as deep weariness set in the connection.
"I'm weak," she confessed quietly without opening her eyes.
With the silent declaration a whole knot of emotions untangled, flooding the bond with anxiety and desperation.
Law didn't know what to say.
She was weak when she first set foot on Straw Hat's ship, but just two days later she managed to punch a marine general and fight Doflamingo. A week later she nearly punched Luffy through the deck and killed a whole crew of bounty hunters. And all that happened before she regenerated nearly half of her body mass and regained a great deal of strength.
But telling her that was pointless. She seemed to think it wasn’t enough.
The room was silent, but the bond was full of racing sensations both from Rage and Zoro. Finally the swordsman seemed to reach a conclusion. He let go of the sleeves and leaned down to capture Rage's lips in a soft kiss.
She was startled but reciprocated hesitantly.
Zoro leaned back slightly. "You're too tired. You won't be able to train efficiently." There was already a protest on her lips, but Zoro silenced her by covering her mouth with his hand. "You need to rest or draw the stuff you need from us."
She caught his wrist to remove his hand so she could speak. "I can't absorb anything from you, the bonds are still new."
"There's no need for the bonds if you work yourself to death. Get what you need, we'll sleep it off and you'll be able to train however long you want."
This sounded like Zoro was encouraging her to do more, instead of seeing reason.
Law wasn't thrilled about the swordsman’s attitude. It already became a pattern. While Law was the reasonable one, Zoro tended to support her craziness. Regretfully he had to admit this dynamic seemed to work for them.
With a sigh, Law climbed on the bed. He grabbed Zoro's arm and pulled him to a sitting position so he could capture his lips in a demanding kiss, wrapping his hand around the swordsman's throat.
Zoro responded without any hesitation, his arousal spiking in the bond when Law tightened his hold.
This was the quickest way to get Rage aroused. Frankly, it was a good idea to supply her with hormones through sex, plus they could try to tire her enough for her to get a couple of hours of sleep. Probably at the cost of wearing themselves out.
Law also had a lot to do, but at this point he was going to forget about it all. This right here, being with his two mates, feeling them so acutely in the bond, sharing their pleasure was what he wanted. It made him happy and he knew this would come to an end when they arrive at Wano and need to separate to carry out their tasks.
He wanted to make the most of it while it lasted.
__________
There was something different in the bond.
It begun as an amused, playful feeling, nothing unusual for Rage. But gradually it transformed into something heavier, darker but patient and stern.
It piqued his interest, so he followed the pull until he reached the gym.
The door opened without a sound and he stood on the threshold, leaning his shoulder against the doorframe and absorbing the view in front of him.
Penguin stood in the middle of the gym, the upper half of his jumpsuit unzipped and tied around his hips, leaving him in a black tank top that showed off the Heart Pirates jolly roger tattooed on his bicep.
Rage was right in front, untying a complex knot that was binding Penguin's wrists together.
She was wearing her usual training getup, a pair of revealing shorts and a skin tight top. Apparently to many clothes made the pole-workout less efficient.
The rope came off and was quickly put into a neat coil. Rage handed the rope to Penguin.
"Now, you try it. Wrap it around my chest in the diamond pattern with my arms bound back with the knot I just showed you."
Penguin hesitated.
"I don't think this is appropriate."
"Is it?" Her eyes shifted, meeting Law's gaze and acknowledging his presence.
Penguin turned around and tensed.
Law watched the bizarre situation impassively, without showing his curiosity.
Rage reached out to knock off Penguin's hat, drawing back his attention.
"I decide what is appropriate and what is not when it comes to my body. I own myself," she stated with full confidence.
"But he's my captain…" Penguin bristled.
"It doesn't matter," she said with calmness that seemed loaded in the bond. "You were curious and I offered to teach you, there is nothing inappropriate about this. In fact, if this was a scene with me as a sub it would be your decision if anyone could watch. In a scene rank doesn't matter, strength doesn't matter. I could easily overpower you, but during a scene I decide to submit and give you all the power over me. It's a powerplay of a different kind, based on pre-established rules, trust and willing submission." All her attention was focused on Penguin, her voice stern like she was instructing a student and her face completely calm and serious, without the usual smirk.
He had a feeling this conversation had a much deeper meaning than explaining kinky activities with rope. She aimed for something important to her.
It was puzzling. What was she planning to achieve with Penguin?
For a moment he wasn't sure if he should allow her to mess with his crewmate's head. But she didn't ask him to leave, in fact she wanted him to stay. So he chose to trust her. Afterall he wanted the same from her.
"If this was a scene it would be your decision how this would go. In fact this is a perfect opportunity. Tell him to stay or go. No, don't look at him," she caught Penguin's chin to stop him from turning towards Law. "It wouldn't matter what he wants. The things that matter are whether or not the sub consented to having an audience and if you as a dominant feel ok with this particular person watching. Do you understand?" She released her hold and Penguin nodded jerkily. "I am ok with this. What do you want?"
There was a long moment of silence when they were staring at each other. Until Penguin's shoulders straightened as he seemed to come to a decision.
Law was curious what it was going to be.
"He can stay," came a quiet declaration.
Rage nodded, still serious and all business like. "Do the rig."
Penguin uncoiled the rope, folded it in half and put the middle over Rage's neck, then proceeded to tie it into simple knots.
Everyone who sailed the seas knew how to tie a rope in dozens of different knots, some more complicated than others. Law expected this rope rig would be something complex, but it actually wasn't.
In no time, Rage had something resembling a harness over her chest, the rope was tied in diamond shaped pattern that framed her breasts. It reached to her waist, then Penguin stepped around her and she folded her arms behind her back.
"Remember the rope shouldn't pinch any nerves, it could cause permanent damage," Rage spoke quietly, turning her head back to glance at Penguin. "After finishing the rig, always check for finger mobility and numbness. This is for play, everyone should be safe."
"Is it? For play, I mean."
"Yeah, mostly."
There was a strange calmness setting in the bond, Rage’s energy settling down, all her focus narrowing into one point. It fueled Law's curiosity.
After several days of frantic planning, training and whatever other thing she had going on in her head, the difference was glaring. Law couldn't think about a single moment when he felt her being this calm aside from when she was asleep.
"It's finished," Penguin informed, taking a step back to look at his work. "Move your fingers. How is it?"
Rage turned around to face him and Law could clearly see the elaborate bindings covering her forearms and keeping her arms bent behind her back.
"It could be tighter, but it's just my preference. Generally the tighter the ropes, the shorter time a person should be tied up."
"Noted," Penguin nodded, looking down to inspect his work. "Do I untie you now or are you going to do some kind of magic trick to get free?"
"You're still missing the point," Rage responded and dropped to her knees.
Penguin's eyes grew comically wide and he backed away several steps, until his back hit one of the weight stands.
Law however had a completely different reaction. The prospect of watching Rage with another person was…interesting.
"I could get out of the rig," Rage spoke up. "But I don't want to. The purpose of this kind of play is to give in. It doesn't matter if someone's a sub or a dom, during a scene we just give in to whatever scenario we want to experience." Penguin didn't look convinced, which made Law wonder why he was doing this in the first place. This bdsm stuff seemed out of character for him. Apparently Rage was thinking otherwise. "Look, you can be the kindest, sweetest, the most caring person on a day to day basis and still throw it all out the window during a scene, when you change into a sadistic master, who beats the shit out of a sub, calls them all kinds of names, uses paddles, whips or even a cattle prod and then after a scene goes back to normal life. It doesn't matter as long as it's consensual, you're not a bad or a good person because you have kinks. You'll have them even if you don't act on them. The choice is yours."
Strangely, her words resonated with Law.
He wouldn't mind if she submitted to another person. Watching a stranger having their way with her, acting out some elaborate scenario seemed quite appealing. After all that person would only have her for a short while, because she belonged to Law. She was his mate, his and Zoro's, but Zoro belonged to him too. They were his for the rest of their lives, connected by this unique bond. It didn't matter if Rage fooled around with other people or if he had to share Zoro with Luffy, at the end of the day, he was the one they were bonded to and who could feel them in his very soul.
Penguin stilled, his gaze glued to Rage. He was silent for a long while, his brows creased in thought.
Then he stepped in front of her, taking hold of her chin to tip her head up.
"What do you want?"
"Punish me for attacking you the first night the ship set sail." A quiet answer came.
There was a thin streak of guilt and regret in the bond, but it wasn't serious enough to call for punishment.
"It wasn't your fault," Penguin replied without hesitation.
"But I did it. I might've killed you."
Nobody blamed her for that night, why was she bringing this up now?
"The person who caused the night terrors should be the one punished, not you." Penguin let go of her chin and took a step back. "Stand up and turn around."
Rage slowly rose to her feet and faced Law, locking eyes with him.
"I'm going to untie you now. We're done for the day." Penguin stated and soon enough the rope was taken off.
Rage sighed and a slight frown appeared on her face. The bond filled with impatience and Law didn't know what to think of it.
The door behind him opened and Zoro stepped into the gym, giving Law a searching look, before moving his gaze to Rage and Penguin and zeroing on the coil of rope in Penguin's hand.
"What happened to "the crew is like family"?" The swordsman asked, looking back at Law with one brow raised.
For a moment Law was puzzled, but then he remembered the talk they had in the infirmary on Bartolomeo's ship, when he said he didn't sleep with anyone from his crew, contrary to the Straw Hats.
And now he was standing in a room with one of his crewmates tying up his mate and having dirty thoughts. All while the exchange between Rage and Penguin was completely non-sexual.
But he sure as hell was not risking both his mates ganging up to tease him, so he decided to throw Rage under the bus.
"Apparently, I'm here to watch the show," he tipped his head towards Rage, while looking into the swordsman’s eye.
Zoro's gaze traveled to the woman. She threw Law an unamused stare, to which he responded with a wink and made his way out of the gym.
The whole thing was her idea in the first place and while it was an interesting and eye opening experience, he didn't feel like explaining that particular mess to Zoro.
He went back to the ship's library to resume his work, dampening down the feedback from both bonds, so he'd be able to focus. He tried to push down all the distracting thoughts stirred by the scene he witnessed but they just kept coming.
Eventually he threw down his quill and stared down at a book opened in front of him, letting his thoughts wander.
"Law?"
A silent question brought him back to reality.
Penguin was standing in the doorway.
"Can we talk?"
Law pointed to the empty chair on the opposite side of the table.
Penguin sat down, took off his hat and put it on the table. "That whole situation was weird."
"You think?" Law eyed him with a half smile. "She has a knack for instigating weird shit."
"You know I wouldn't do anything with her, even if she asked."
Penguin was looking him straight in the eye, his expression serious.
Law let his smirk drop. "I suppose that's for the best."
"You suppose? I'm telling you I wouldn't fuck your girl and you suppose it's for the best?"
Law sighed, leaning back in the chair. This wasn't a conversation he wanted to have, but due to Rage's little scheme it couldn’t be avoided.
He felt like shooting her all the disgruntled feelings, but as soon as he opened the bond he had to shut it down hard.
Of course they were fucking, what else would they be doing.
He rubbed his eyes before looking back at Penguin.
"I agreed to bond with her. It's a commitment for life and I did it with the knowledge of who she is. You don't go into a relationship with someone knowing there are parts of this person that you don't like, but believing you can change them. That's fucked up. She told me she wasn't monogamous at the very beginning. At first I thought it was her upbringing, the fact she was raised in Sin City. Now, I believe she was born like that. She is part Naga, her people have the capacity of forming dozens of bonds, polygamy is their norm. Rage is not built for monogamy, it goes against her nature. I've accepted who she is and I don't intend to change her. So in short, yes, I'm ok with other people fucking my girl."
Penguin's brows rose, but his stare was flat.
"Three months ago I'd never expect a statement like that to come out of your mouth."
"Three months ago I didn’t suspect you'd be into tying people up for fun," Law shot back, arching a brow.
“I didn’t expect it either, until she basically threw it into my face,” Penguin replied with a barely there smirk. “She’s something special, but I don’t know if in a good or a bad way. And I'm pretty sure she’s crazy.”
A smirk crawled on Law’s lips. “Apparently crazy women are my type.”
“Strangely it doesn’t surprise me,” Penguin replied with a wide grin. Law frowned, narrowing his eyes, which seemed to amuse his friend even more. "When we were still running the betting pool, half of the guys were betting you would settle with someone small and cute. The other half was convinced you'll find some wild badass. You exceed everyone's expectations by showing up with two crazy strong people."
"I'm getting back at you all for those bets, be prepared," Law promised with a glower, but deep down he felt happy for having a crew like his.
Penguin laughed, brushing off Law's threat and Law couldn't help the smile that pulled at his lips.
"When you left the gym, she said something weird," Penguin said after a moment of companionable silence.
"She does that a lot."
"Yeah, but this was something else. She told me if anyone from her crew ever tried to give me a hard time, I should remember that I had their captain kneeling at my feet, so I don't have to take any shit from them."
Law gave him a sharp look. So that was the purpose of the whole rope situation. Was she really that worried about his crew that she felt the need to resort to mind games? Was she serious about her crew being a threat to his crewmates? What did she expect to happen? Who were the women in her crew? Were they that unhinged?
He didn't take Rage's words seriously the first time, thinking she was exaggerating. Besides, his crewmates weren’t some rookies. They made it into the New World with relative ease, they could handle a lot.
But Rage didn't drop the issue, instead she took it upon herself to prepare his crew. Maybe he should take it all more seriously.
"Rage is convinced her crewmates would cause us trouble."
"Aren't we supposed to be allies?" Penguin drummed his fingers on the table top.
"Yes, but apparently her crewmates are a wild bunch and they don't like men very much." Law repeated the stuff Rage had told him about her girls and why she wouldn't step in if they tried to pick fights.
"This sounds like a lot more is going on then she lets on," Penguin summed up, rubbing his chin.
The conclusion surprised Law. He didn't pay much attention to this particular issue, as there was a lot more important stuff to take care of. But now when he thought about Rage's recent behavior, the constant frantic energy in the bond, intensive trainig and research, her withdrawal from planning, seeking out sex to relieve tension, it did ring alarm bells. She was stressed, but it didn't show in the bond. Was she hiding it on purpose? Why?
"She's obsessing over something," Law admitted. "Maybe we should take her warning seriously, just to be safe."
"Do you want me to explain this to the rest of the crew?"
"Yes, but wait until we reach Wano. We'll deal with her crazy crew, afterall they'll be a valuable asset and we'll need all the support we can get to fight the Beast Pirates."
"Ok," Penguin nodded, then sent Law a concerned look. "Is she okay?"
Law already asked himself the same question and the answer was obvious.
"No, I don't think she is."

Sexuality and Romanticism headcanons for the Strawhats + the ASL
Plz note that while their sexualities are varied and vast, all of their one true loves are their dreams! Also I tried to stay objective with ships but Frobin snuck in there anyways >.>
Sorry XD
Luffy-
Demisexual/romantic (He’s def on the Ace spectrum lol)
Pansexual/romantic
He doesn't even know these words thb.
If he ever falls in love it will be the slowest slow burn to ever slow burn.
Is most likely to have a queer/quasiplatonic relationships at first or even in general.
Would be 100% just fine if he never got into a relationship.
Zoro-
Gay through and through.
Gay panic, has a very hard time talking to anyone he might like.
Has never been with anyone romantically but he did have a physical fling or two before he met Luffy.
He’s oddly shy due to his inexperience with the whole dating thing, but also affectionate.
Nami-
Bisexual with a heavy preference for Females.
Holds people of all genders to certain standards but holds the bar for men much higher.
No reason why she's just less particular about her women
Usopp-
For some reason I have a hard time shipping/placing him, I'm not sure why??
Demiromatic/Sexual
Heteroflexible (ie, straight, but is open to the idea if he ever falls in love with a man)
{I can potentially see him with Kaya but I feel like it'd be a more queer/quasiplatinic arrangement}
He’s more likely to have a panic attack then admit any feelings he has, not even to himself.
Sanji-
Very repressed Bisexual with a heavy preferences for women
However has really bad internalized homophobia so he refuses to act on, or even acknowledge, his interest in men
It's mostly Judge’s fault, he hates anything not ‘normal’. This extended to a lot of things unfortunately
Later, Zeff tried to help him with it. He did pretty good so Sanji was much more open with himself… however only with women. He saw men (and himself tbh) much lower.
The being forced into crossdressing and toxic behavior on Momoiro Island did not help and scarred him a lot, setting him back quite a bit.
Chopper-
Will only ever date a mink, probs female. (He’s still an animal as much as human)
Robin-
Overall I see her as Heterosexual but like Usopp she’s open to the idea if she ever comes to love a women
However Love (and sex) is a foreign and odd feeling to her, and will not come easily
Growing up, in order to survive, she had to completely abandon the idea of love.
She’s very desensitized when it comes to sex. She’s had to use her body as a weapon or a tool on more then one occasion, and it makes it hard for her to think of it as something intimate.
But with time I believed she could become more comfortable with the idea of being in love, and being intimate.
Franky-
Iv only ever shipped him with Robin but I see him as Pansexual, at least, sex wise.
He’s also Demisexual, as he only ever has causal sex with people he has a strong bond with.
Franky is and was never interested in dating. 
However, when he met Robin he began to have romantic feelings for her.
He's not exactly sure what his label is there but Robin is the only person he is and will be interested in romantically. 
Brook-
Back when he was fully alive, he could have been anything but now? He has a complete lack of actual sex drive, and maybe even in dating
Ofc he’s still a pervert and objectively interested in that stuff
But now that he physically can't? Well he’s not actually interested in trying.
 Ace-
Gay or Bisexual with preference for males.
He’s also on the Asexual spectrum but probs not as you think.
He’s Demiromatic but not sexual. Sex is always causal and super fun for him, but dating? Letting someone love him? That's a much harder challenge.
He’s very clueless and even naive about love in general
Sabo-
Very Pansexual, 100% doenst care about gender, but isnt as gender blind as luffy.
The same with romanticisms
Is also a little more picky with his types, but it has more to do with personality then looks.
In a queer/quasiplatonic relationship with Koala (Who I headcanon as Lesbian Ace btw)

Chapter 1: Romance Dawn
Tumblr media
The original crew at the dawn of adventure. Cheesy as hell but I had to do it. The drawing style looks hella different now (especially the booBS). Back when Zoro actually smiled not to mention LAUGHED. 
Tumblr media
God, Oda is such a great storyteller, the first page not only sets up the plot, the end goal, and give us some background info, it’s also hella epic. Also note how his name “Gold Roger” is in quotation marks, because we know later on its more of an epithet, I didn’t even realise that we didn’t know his real name until much later on in the story and get introduced to something that holds significant meaning to the plot (the Will fo D). 
Tumblr media
(lmao for no particular reason other than i love this page)
Tumblr media
The origin of Luffy’s scar! He is so cute and I honestly think that this scene really demonstrates Luffy as a person. He is the type to do first and think about the consequences later and it is a vital part of his character. Also ironically Luffy’s shirt says “ANCHOR” and we all know who becomes an anchor moments later. 
Tumblr media
Shanks is such a fun person lmao I’d like to be on his pirate ship the most. At this point in the story, we really didn’t know how much of a big shot he was. Their dynamic is something I’d like to see in the future, though I doubt anytime soon. Shanks had such a lasting impression on Luffy, lifestyle-wise (to be the most “free” he can be), he became Luffy’s dream and idol. 
Tumblr media
And here we have Luffy, unknowingly, changing his whole life. 
Tumblr media
I think this was one of the most important life lessons that Shanks taught Luffy, to not take all things so seriously and sometimes putting aside your pride may be the best option at the moment. (the whole pick your battles thing and how some fights are not worth it). 
Tumblr media
It’s not uncommon to know that something is a Devil Fruit, but to know exactly what it does and have a picture of it is, especially since it is a paramecia and at face value, not a very useful fruit (ofc Luffy makes good use of it because he is a genius at combat). This brings up the question of whether this particular DF has any meaning and if the Red Hair Pirates were looking for it in the first place (maybe why they travelled all the way to the East Blue). Maybe someone important had the DF before Luffy and it will be revealed in the future.
Tumblr media
Aaaaaaaaand this is the most important lesson he taught Luffy. To know the value of life and how nothing is more important than staying alive. I think that this taught Luffy to be reckless but still understand that his own life is the most important. I believe if Shanks didn’t give up his arm and Luffy didn’t learn that, then he wouldn’t be alive (not saying his luck isn’t insane). Also, this ties back to the bar and how to know when to pick your battles, this teaches Luffy humility. Also, in my opinion, Shanks did use haki against the sea king when he told it to back off, just after he taught Luffy the lesson. 
Tumblr media
FAVE. <3 <3 <3 This moment is so monumental and we all know how important that hat is to Luffy without even knowing that it originally belonged to Roger. To be honest, Luffy probably doesn’t even know that Shanks was on Roger’s ship, he’d probably freak out. 
Tumblr media
This concludes chapter 1 woo who I made it. Also the end of the flashback. This panel shows Luffy’s resolution and sets up the final goal of One Piece. Which is why I love the series so much. Not only does OP have a linear storyline and sticks to it, we never forget about what Luffy is ultimately after. Plus the awesome world building Goda does. Bless his soul.

The gory part is in italics so you can skip it
Chapter 15: Lacheela
Zoro kneeled on the floor, holding Rage's hair while she dry heaved into the toilet. She already puked everything she ate but the violent retching didn't stop.
The bond was heavy with disgust, grief and horror. The feelings were so intense, Zoro needed to dampen down the connection, so he could maintain his cool.
He wished Law would come and do something about Rage, so she'd stop puking.
Her face and neck were red from exertion, while her chest spasmed violently. He worried she might start vomiting blood if this continued.
Something clicked in the bond, making all the sensations disappear for a few seconds. It happened again for a bit longer, then again and again.
Zoro frowned, being hit with waves of her distress resembled steady strikes of a hammer.
Rage moaned in pain, but the retching stopped. Yet the emotions kept shutting off only to come back after a short while. Like an engine that wouldn't start properly.
A growl escaped her lips and she slammed her fist against the metal wall leaving a dent. She pushed from the toilet and sat against the wall, her eyes shut tight and brows drawn together.
"Fucking hell, why doesn't it work," she growled through gritted teeth.
The sensations still flicked on and off in the bond, now joined by a wave of anger.
She pushed from the wall and managed to stand up. Slowly she turned to the small sink to splash her face and rinse her mouth several times. Finally she turned off the water and leaned heavily on the sink. Her head bent down and her hair falling over her face.
She was taking measured breaths, pausing after every exhale and inhale. But it was clear she struggled to maintain even that small amount of control.
Zoro felt Law before the man appeared in the door. He looked completely calm and so was his presence in the bond.
"Rage," he uttered a single word and it seemed to be enough to get her attention.
She turned towards him, wet strands of hair framed her face, sticking to her skin. Her eyes were yellow.
"Talk," Law stated, it wasn't exactly an order, but he used the same tone when he talked to a patient.
She tensed, her mouth twisted in a deep scowl and her gaze turned empty.
"The plan was to get in quietly through an underground tunnel," Rage began. Her voice was hoarse and scratchy. "There was a guy in the Army with powers to make tunnels. But every time he tried to make a passage he encountered a mass grave. Some of them were only bones, others were full of decomposing flesh."
There was a fresh wave of nausea from the bond, but it was countered by Law's calmness and Rage was able to speak further.
"We got in from above. At first it seemed like any other mission: guns firing, swords clashing, fists flying, screams and blood. There were children locked up in small cells, too many children." She raised her hands, holding them apart in front of her. "She was this big. I checked the basement and found her on a bed. I thought she was dead." Her hands trembled and she clenched and unclenched her fists.
"Her skin was blue from the cold. Her legs were dislocated from her hips and what was between them was a dried up black and brown mess of torn flesh and blood. I thought she was dead, but when I came closer she made a barely audible sound. I don't know why she was still alive, she should've been dead, but she clung to life in that disgusting basement. I was so fucking scared to touch her. I could smell the sepsis, she was suffering but somehow death forgot about her. I thought that if she managed so far, she would miraculously survive if I got her treated fast. I moved to pick her up, but then…" Rage clenched her fists so hard blood dripped from her palms to the floor. The pain held back the torrent of disgust and nausea. "When I moved her, she made the most horrifying sound I ever heard in my life and her insides spilled out. The stench of rot was everywhere. I wanted to run away, but I couldn't leave her there like that, alone and in pain.
Mercy kill, clean and fast was the only thing I could do to help her. I wrapped her up in the sheet. Swaddled her like every other newborn should be swaddled, leaving only her small head visible. I carried her out, because there was no way that disgusting place would be her grave. She was with me when I sentenced to death all the vermin that were left alive. I named her Lacheela, it means 'resilient' in my ancestors language. I handed her over to my right hand so I could carry out the punishment for her suffering. The Gentleman was there, right beside me. We shred all the priest scum to pieces. Then we set the monastery ablaze and we went after everyone on the island."
There was a shift in the bond, everything was gone, swept away by the urge to kill. The killing intent emanating from her was so strong it made Zoro's skin ripple with goosebumps.
"Rage, you need to calm down," Law warned, taking a step towards her.
There were alarmed shouts coming from the direction of the rec room and Law backed out into the corridor.
"Stay back," he ordered firmly and the shouting stopped.
Rage was standing still, her fists clenched tight and bleeding. Her yellow eyes were opened wide with pupils reduced to tiny black dots. Her shoulders were lowered, chin tucked in, her whole body strung so hard she vibrated with restrained energy.
Zoro had a feeling she wasn't with them anymore, reliving the memory of the slaughter committed on that godforsaken island.
One wrong move could turn this into a mess. He needed to bring her back without setting her off. He lowered his guard on the bond, letting her killing intent flow through him.
He bared his teeth in a feral grin. He was familiar with the feeling, this overwhelming urge to kill. He rarely allowed himself to unleash it, but it was something rooted deep inside him. The primal drive to kill, to slash through flesh and bathe his blades in blood.
He let it be coaxed out by Rage's intensity. There was more shouting in the distance. But it was insignificant, because those yellow eyes were focused on him.
They stood opposite each other in the dingy toilet, a small distance apart. Their eyes locked together, while their energies rippled around them.
Zoro let his smile widen, while he reached out to her. "Let's do it together."
She blinked. A slow movement of her eyelids that would've been insignificant but it broke her deadly stillness.
She reached out and clasped her hand firmly around his forearm. He mirrored the grip with the same strength.
The energy rippled in a frenzy and expanded, whirling around them like a cyclone. There was more shouting. The scent of blood permeated the air and the floor under their feet was marked red, just like it was supposed to be.
"We'll kill them all," he said with an easy resolve.
And just like that everything imploded, the killing intent all gone in a split second. They stood in the toilet, hands clasped, staring at each other. Rage closed her eyes and when she opened them again, the yellow was gone and she was back with him, present in the moment.
She blinked several times as if adjusting her focus to what was in front of her. A small incredulous smile appeared on her lips.
"You're crazy," she uttered, sounding a bit dazed.
"So are you," he replied with a grin.
She let out a short laugh and tugged at his forearm, yanking him forward. She wrapped her free hand around his shoulders in a tight hug.
"Thank you," she said quietly, the relief was palpable in her voice.
"Anytime," he answered, wrapping his arm around her back.
There was a heavy sigh from the doorway. Zoro smiled at the exasperation filling Law's side of the bond.
Rage chuckled softly, loosening her hold but not letting go completely. "I need to brush my teeth."
She stepped out into the corridor, tugging him with her and smearing blood over his skin.
"Hey, heal your palms," he reminded her, squeezing her arm.
She wrinkled her nose and shut her eyes in concentration.
Law stepped in front of her, reaching to cup her jaw and stroked his thumb over her cheek.
"How are you feeling?" he asked softly.
"Like something that was festering inside me just burst and all the rot got out."
That was a graphic description.
Zoro focused on the bond, finding a bizarre fragile feeling that he never expected from her. But it felt like a good thing.
"What do you need right now?" Law asked and there was a level of carefulness in the bond that made Zoro suspect something else was going on.
"I need to clean up first," she answered, her gaze locked with Law's. "And I think I need to be with my own feelings. It feels strange inside but it's nice, I guess."
"According to our schedule, the ship will submerge at midnight. Will you be able to handle it? I can give you some sedatives if you want."
She closed her eyes and nuzzled her face into his palm. "I'll be fine. I'll go sit on the deck for a while, catch some breeze while I can."
"I'll go with you," Zoro stated.
He didn't want to leave her side. The urge to stay with her was strong from the moment they bonded. But it got even stronger now, when she was feeling vulnerable.
He followed her to Law's cabin. They cleaned up the blood smeared over their skin and got changed into clean clothes. Rage was silent the whole time, absentminded. But she made eye contact a couple times like she was checking for something.
He didn't ask, whatever was going on in her head she would tell him when she'd be ready.
They went to the deck together. It was already dark, only faint light of the half moon illuminated the ship. There was a smell of rain in the air and Zoro took a deep breath of the crisp breeze. He'd miss the fresh air and open skies, but on the bright side there will be no storms or weird weather to deal with.
Hopefully they won't be swallowed by a sea king or some other overgrown fish. Franky was tinkering with some weapon's upgrades for the ship, so they should manage just fine.
Rage walked to the railing and leaned on her elbows, her eyes staring into the distance. He stood next to her, facing the opposite direction and propping his hips against the banister. He turned his gaze to the night sky where the stars were partially obscured by slowly moving clouds.
He let his thoughts wander.
A lot has happened in the past twenty four hours, some of them quite unexpected, like the bond with Law. He wondered if he'll get a bond with Luffy after Rage bonds with his captain.
"Want to listen to my rant for a while?" Rage asked quietly.
He turned his head to the side, catching her gaze. He couldn't be sure in the faint light but her eyes seemed to change color again. "Sure. What's up with your eyes?"
"They turn yellow and I can see in the dark. My mom can do that too, she had enough Naga blood in her to be born with that ability. I got the upgrade at Zou," she replied, giving him a small smile, then turned her gaze towards the sea. "The day Luffy got shot, you told me that you liked how I walk into a room and all eyes turn to me but I don't seem to notice it. I notice, it's just something I'm used to. I don't have many memories of the time with the Red Hair pirates. I was too small, but I remember the constant attention. Everyone was smiling, offering me snacks, playing with me, telling me stories. I even remember Ben brushing my hair into pigtails."
Zoro tried to imagine Rage as a small girl with pigtails, but nothing came up. It was hard picturing her as a kid.
"My mom founded Sin City, bonded mates, took in more and more people and everywhere I went I was in the spotlight. My mom's mates basically adopted me as their own kid. Then my great grandma came with her mates and suddenly I got fifty grandads. When grandma arrived with her mates and crew, I acquired more grandads and a small army of uncles and aunties who became my bodyguards. So there I was, a kid in a rapidly growing city, where everyone knew me. I was treated like a princess. Everywhere I went people focused on me, doted on me. When I grew up enough to go out on missions and handle official tasks in my mothers name, people started approaching me for favors, hoping to gain influence in the city, make deals. I was offered money, sex, slaves, marriage proposals. There were people who wanted to get into my pants just for curiosity's sake. I was the princess of Sin City, there were stories about my promiscuity and prowess in bed. There were spies who tried to bait me into giving them information, their methods were very enticing. Some thought they could wrap me around their finger and gain influence with my mother. Assassins were sent to kill me multiple times. So yeah, attention doesn't faze me much, it's how my life always has been. I miss it sometimes, the crowds, clubs, dancing, the music...of my fucking god I miss the music so much. I miss sitting with the girls and guys from the clubs, their gossiping and stories." She paused for a while. Choked up longing prevented her from talking until she managed to compose herself. "We keep a part of the city closed off to outsiders. It's where survivors and families with kids live, where schools are. I used to go visit the kids once in a while, to check up on them, clown around, roll in the mud with them. After Bambakam, I stirred clear of newborns. I couldn't be around them without getting a flashback." She got quiet for a long while, looking into the vast darkness. "I suspect the Witch Doctor purposefully avoided helping me. She did stuff, but nothing helped, yet I've seen her help other people bounce back from worse. I think I was her pet project, since I'm mixed-blood."
Zoro scowled, a flare of anger shooting through him. "Why would she do that?"
Rage was still staring into space, her side of the bond filled with calm vulnerability. "The doctor might be a psychopath, or a very cynical person devoted to her research. She researched the mating process through and through. At the time I didn't have any mates so I think she left the trauma from Bambakam to urge me to bond. You know, for me to feel scared and helpless enough to seek protection. It didn't work, but she was patient. I met Kisa three years later. If the Witch Doctor had any plans for me bonding a bunch of people, it all went to shit right then and there."
"Earlier you spoke of that Doctor as if you trusted her. Did your mother know she was using you?"
"I don't know, I never told her about my suspicions."
"Why not?"
She took a deep breath then looked at him. "The Doctor is vital to our cause, her work is important. She does a lot of good for trafficking survivors. If my mother didn't know about the experiment the Doctor was conducting with me, I didn't want to cause a rift between them. It would turn into a fallout. Sin City needs the Witch Doctor, so I decided to take one for the team."
"Seems like you did that more than once," Zoro answered, barely refraining from growling. The thought she was betrayed by people closest to her was infuriating.
"Yeah," Rage hummed back. "The bad part is, I was never sure if my mom didn't know."
"What?"
"Life gets complicated, sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Maybe she chose to indulge the Doctor, seeing that I could handle it."
"That's a shitty thing to do," this time the words came as a growl.
"I suppose so," Rage mused, her head slumping a bit. "You were right when you told me I allowed myself to get caught because I wanted to run away. Before Kisa I hoped that one day I would meet my mates and be happy. But that shitshow stripped me of any hope. I tried to work it out when she got cured but our bond was never like those my mom or my grandmas had with their mates. The things in my head kept piling up until I finally snapped and gave up. I nearly died several times, but I always made it in the end. I survived the beating and lashing. Cesar brought me back when I died after eating the devil fruit. I survived the experiments and tortures. Then on Dressrosa Law restarted my heart after I shot up Luffy. So I kept going, but now shit keeps flowing out like from a broken sewer."
There was a shadow of guilt in the bond and Zoro frowned. "That's ok, we'll deal with it. It's not like anything awful happened today. You told us a messed up story. Then you freaked out for a bit, probably scared some people on the ship and got the floor dirty with blood."
Finally she looked at him, a hint of a smile on her lips. "You make it sound so simple."
"Simple or not, don't feel guilty about it," he answered firmly, holding her gaze.
She pushed from the railing and turned towards him. "I've told only a handful of people about Lacheela. I tried very hard to forget but it backfired. When I got triggered, people tried to calm me down, comfort me, sometimes they got scared or angry. But nobody ever did what you did today."
He held her gaze, tuning in to the bond for any shift. The way he handled that situation worked, the goal was to snap her back from the flashback. But it seemed like it had a bigger impact.
"After Bambakam I had no scruples to kill the scum that dealt in skin trade. That earned me the moniker 'The Raging Witch'. Not very creative since Veshti literally means 'a witch', but it stuck. I changed the rules for my team, we rescued the slaves and killed everyone else. My teammates understood why I made the decision but they thought that sometimes I went too far. When Kisa joined, she was a perfect match for me. In her manicked state she was all on board with mindless slaughter. Later, when she got cured, I could sense her disapproval in the bond, but she never said anything." There was an intensity in her gaze, like she was preparing to make a statement. "That godforsaken island showed me there shouldn't be mercy for the merciless. I believe rapists, pedophiles and traffickers should all die. When you told me earlier you'll do this with me I believed you, but I need you to know where my decision came from. Luffy is all about giving people second chances and you're part of his crew. Sex traffickers and rapists don't deserve a second chance. What they deserve is to be put down with extreme prejudice."
Zoro narrowed his eyes, he didn't like what she was implying. "If you expect me to go back on my words, you're up for a disappointment."
She let out a short laugh. "I wouldn't call it a disappointment."
He pushed from the railing, turning to face her. "Good, we're on the same page."
She shook her head with a slight smirk. "You're an interesting man, Zoro. You know why I'm fucked up, but what's your damage?"
His lips stretched in a sharp grin. "Guess I was born like that."
She stared at him and slowly her smile dropped, her expression turning somber. "This may sound trite, but after everything I've been through I don't trust people. Even people closest to me, who claimed to love me, used me to further their goals. It's hard to live like that, but it's not like I have options to choose from."
She had because he already was someone who loved her, who was close to her even if solely by the existence of the bond.
She searched his gaze for a while. She surely could sense his feelings through their connection.
"I want to trust you, Zoro," there was sincerity in her voice and longing in the bond. It made his heart ache for her. "Trust is a choice. You are my mate, but you are also Luffy's first mate and you have your own goals. I would never make you choose and that means things could go bad for me in the future."
"Sounds like you're setting yourself up for failure from the very beginning," he stated, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm being honest with you," she replied tiredly, like she had already anticipated his reaction.
He smirked. "You do whatever you need to protect yourself. That's just one of your many issues. We're stuck together for a long time, we'll see what happens."
"You're so full of yourself," she replied with a sardonic smile.
"And you still chose me."
She shook her head, raising her hand to brush back her hair. "Yeah, about that. Since we're talking about trust, you should know something about the bond. You know how conqueror's haki can bend other people's will. In theory, Nagas who possess conqueror's haki can exert absolute control over their mates."
Zoro stilled, shutting down the bond as much as he was able to and glared at her. "Do it." He knew what she was trying to do and he wouldn't fall for it.
She recoiled like she didn't expect those words. Her lips tightened into a flat line.
"Do it, Rage," he repeated, squaring his shoulders and lifting his chin. "Make me open the bond again, make me obey you."
A scowl formed on her lips and she clenched her fists by her sides.
They stared at each other for a long while but she didn't do anything to exert control over him.
"Yeah, I thought so," he uncrossed his arms and reached for her, pulling her into a loose hug. "You had a rough day, give yourself a break."
She put her forehead on his shoulder, the bond filling with her jumbled feelings. Her whole body sagged under the load. "I'm sorry." She uttered quietly. "It's...it all feels too good to be true. You and Law, you're what I always wanted. But maybe I don't deserve to be happy anymore?"
That was bullshit.
"That's something for you to decide. You're a pirate now, nobody is telling you what you should or shouldn't do. Take what you want."
She didn't reply, just stood motionless in his arms. The bond flooded with rapidly changing emotions and sensations. He was starting to recognize it as her thinking pattern. That freaking woman's thoughts were running so fast he didn't even try to keep up. No wonder she was so high-strung most of the time.
Finally it stopped. Everything came to a halt so abruptly he turned his head, checking if she had fallen asleep.
Her arms wrapped around him and she tilted her head to catch his lips. It was a brief and dry kiss, but felt like a 'thank you'.
He hoped she came to some sensible conclusion, but he wasn't going to ask more questions. There was enough talking for one day.
The bond got quiet again, the vulnerable calmness came back. They spent the next couple of hours on the deck, simply sitting next to each other and holding hands.
It was a novelty for him, the holding hands part and sitting there in silence. Luffy was never quiet. He kept still only for a short time when he stared into the horizon while sitting on Sunny's head. There always was a jittery energy around him. He had to be in motion, always seeking some kind of activity to engage all the excess energy.
For Zoro, experiencing a calm moment like this with another person was something new. Aside from Mihawk. That man could stay silent for a long time, but his presence was intense and the silence was always loaded.
Rage just sat there, her mind calm. She allowed herself to be with the vulnerability she felt. She didn't fight it, push it back or punish herself for feeling that way. She accepted it and experienced it.
This was new for him too, something that he never thought of doing for himself. He always thought that being vulnerable equaled weakness. But the longer he observed Rage he came to a realization it actually meant the opposite. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable was a sign of strength and courage. Facing your own emotions was often more demanding than fighting on a battlefield.
It nudged him towards the feelings he was hiding.
He was falling in love with both Rage and Law.
Rage laughed when he mentioned love at first sight, but that was what happened when he met Law. At first he thought it was just physical attraction. But the more he got to know the man it became clear it wasn't just about sex. When he heard Rage talk about how feelings and sex were separate, he realised the extent of what he felt for Law.
Rage was trickier. He couldn't pinpoint the moment when the feelings for her started. It was a jumble of lust, protectiveness and longing. His attention was drawn to her whenever she came into sight. She made an impression on him with every action she took. Her audacity was drawing him in, every unexpected show of strength was mesmerizing. Even her dark past and the cruel reality she learned to navigate was impressive. Somewhere on the way between Dressrosa and Zou, he found himself falling in love with her.
Now he was bonded to the two people he developed feelings for and he tried to keep it hidden. He wasn't ashamed of how he felt but he realized it was all very sudden. He wasn't sure how his feelings would be received if he put them out in the open. Law was still adjusting to the bonds, it seemed like the amount of emotions and sensations was a lot for him. The surgeon's side of the bond was calm and quiet most of the time. Except when he had to deal with Zoro and Rage and that made Law a bit lost. Zoro didn't want to overwhelm him with more than he was capable of handling right now. He feared it would cause the surgeon to withdraw from the developing relationship.
But maybe he was wrong about that. Afterall it was Law who told his crew they were in a committed relationship and asked Rage for the proper term to call their trio.
A triad, that's what they were right now. And out of the three of them it was Law who made the effort to make them official. So maybe this meant more to the surgeon than Zoro thought. Maybe his feelings wouldn't be ill received. What if it was something that would actually help Law anchor himself in this new situation?
The primary bond with Rage was a lot stronger than the one he had with Law. But Zoro was sure she hadn't developed feelings for them. He wasn't sure she was capable of love right now.
She dealt with the fallout of all the shit she went through and it was a lot for her. Someday she may be ready for more and he was ok with that. The bond was enough for now.
There was a tug from Law's side of the bond and Rage sighed deeply. It was time to go. The ship was about to submerge.

Gave myself the task to rank the strawhats from my fav to the less favs, because honestly they're all faves.
Trying to put aside any thirst i have that is, I'll try to rank them in order of how much they make me feel. So watch out for the rant.
#1 Sanji
To nobody's surprise, we kin him ofc we do, I love him, i hate him, and i wouldn't have it any other way. It never fails to amaze me the fact that he is one of the strongest in the crew yet he knows what it feels like to be the weakest, and he is also one of the kindest people around at the same time he knows not everyone should be deserving of such kindness. Pretty much checks all my likes and single handed added a bunch of them!
#2 Luffy
Now he would be #1 if Sanji wasn't so emotionally rooted in me, I can't even start to explain Luffy is the best character to ever exist and i would die for him, he's both the kind of friend i wish I had and the one i wish I could be. Looking at him an make me feel better in a heartbeat.
#3 Brook.
I just can't… Not cry everytime I watch the scene in which he explains his past and just breaks… "I'm so glad to be alive!" It gives me goosebumps. it's a simple yet powerful sentence and i keep repeating it on my head "I'm so glad to be alive, I'm so glad to be alive…" That's right... In the end he ended up meeting the Strawhats, I- the fact he is very joyfull most of the time, and the little quirky things he does make me feel that's his way of coping and it breaks my heart further… Really this shouldn't be allowed, but i will root for this man to keep enjoying his life… although he's already dead!?
#4 Usopp
Oh boy, he is perhaps the second most human to me after Sanji. And he doesn't gets the recognition he deserves for being SO brave, i would like to have the balls to sail on a ship headed for a path full of danger that most probably would end in death and just for the sake of following your dream and having adventures? Having to bear the burden of feeling helpless because you're not strong enough? This bad boy can fit so much insecurities inside him. Anyways his growth hasn't been so flashy, but we love him exactly for the way he is and the long way he has come ^^ with my whole heart.
#5 Robin
Probably noticed my uhm… tendency for tragic pasts uh, but yeah the "I want to live" made me cry an amount i never thought i could, girl you deserve so much to be happy, you literally did nothing wrong and everyone who hurt you shall burn in hell forever. She would be higher considering it's a more brutal and lonely past, but honestly i like to think she got closure overall, i don't know… i still love her an insane amount.
# 6 Zoro
I LOVE Zoro, from his simplicity, to his bluntness to his oh so strong will of becoming stronger to his tiddies i wish I was more like him… not, not the tiddies part but working hard everyday for my dreams, i also love the gender equality that he has going on in his single braincell head, overall a character full of strong meaning but that easily stumbles on his way and that kinda bothers me… My feelings towards him are mostly bc he Is enjoyable, and feels like a friend that would never judge me so yeah, emotional support Marimo, come get yours.
#7 Franky
He gives me cool dad/Uncle vibes and i live for that, he is a dork, enjoyable and yeah quirky but he is such a nice guy sometimes! Like for real i live for the dad vibes this man gives, his history is really good too, the topic about weapons is very interesting but it also feels left behind and didn't struck me directly in a soft nerve like the others, i would love to see more of him!
#8 Chopper
Now I've been kind of being annoyed by chopper somehow lately, but his arc was also a big emotional wrecker to me, i cry everytime I CRY ALWAYS...i am crying…. So i give him that, i liked him way better pre timeskip, and i get he is the youngest but he could grow up a little bit.
#9 Nami
I would love to rank her higher but i just can't, actually i feel she should be lowest but… I really want to like her, i really would like her to be my favourite, really, but sometimes she just doesn't clicks with me even with how great she is, and much as chopper i think she's been kind of left out of growth? But not in a way she feels flat, she just feels left behind </3
#10 Jimbe
I like him, yes, but i still haven't found my exact feelings for him, i need to get to know him better maybe? He looks very nice and gentle, squishy…. Friend shaped… dad fish… Being honest his history didn't caught my attention, although the whole story of the Gyojin island is ;; simply amaizing ;; there's nothing that's specifically from him that i can pinpoint rn, I just really wanna see him around the Strawhats tho, watch him put up with his antics
