⚠️warnings: im terrible at writing fights... sorry in advance .Probably grammar mistakes.

Lost puppy

(Zoro x reader x mihawk)

Luffy finished up the meeting with the crew and began to prepare himself for bed. It was pretty late at night by now and he was feeling a bit sleepy. However, as he was about to enter his room, he noticed that y/n was nowhere to be found and he couldn't help but feel a bit concerned. He decided to ask someone else where she might be.

He founded Zoro walking on the deck

"Hmm, Zoro? Have you seen y/n around? She is with you?"

Zoro looks over at him and shakes his head "She isn't here? I haven't seen her since dinner..." he sound worried

"Could you help me find her? I fear that she might be doing something fun without us"

Zoro nods "she probably causing someone headache" they leave the ship to go look for their little trouble maker, making their way outside.

"I heard screams earlier... did you guys fought?" Luffy ask curious, really because y/n is amost glued at zoro...

"She said i wasn't holding my sword properly" he say as it was some ultimate crime "she doesn't even fights with swords"

"We haven't seen her since dinner and she hasn't come back to the room yet. I wonder what she could be up to? Maybe she found a really good bar... man im so hungry"

"When you not hungry?"

"When im eating"

"Yeah... sure... but, the fact that she isn't back yet is what concerns me. I really hope she isn't about to do something reckless. She is a little unpredictable when she is upset."

They start to walk in the beach, soon spotted y/n but she isn't alone seems like she is screaming at someone...then they look closer its mihawk, the greatest swordsman.

Zoro stops and stares in shock as he sees Mihawk standing in front of her. He can only imagine the scene taking place with y/n arguing with Mihawk. He just knows that this will only end in disaster as it's essentially a fight between two people who hold a lot of pride and ego. He turns to Luffy and speaks up as he points out Mihawk to her

...Did Mihawk just show up out of nowhere? Did I miss something? He seems genuinely confused as to what they could've possibly even found to argue about."looks like he is on the same island than we...." luffy say as much as surprise then he is.

Zoro nods slowly as he processes this new development. He takes a moment to think before speaking up.

"...We have to be extremely careful. We don't want to antagonize Mihawk any further. The last thing we need is to start a new conflict. Especially when i don't have the strength to take on another fight, yet...."

" So what is the argument about? Did y/n do something to Mihawk to make him upset?"

Luffy has extremely curious as zoro pinched his nose bridge and sigh

"This stupid woman..."

After a moment of weid silence luffy speaks up "I think it's too late to prevent another fight"

Zoro shifts his attention to y/n and Mihawk he can see she is blocking his attack using just her dagger... she blocked as warlord claymore attack with just a dagger... He is utterly shocked by her speed and reflexes when she blocks Mihawk's attack with just a dagger. It seems as though she's gone far beyond what he expected from the little y/n. Then, he is reminded of reality when he sees Mihawk's face begin to show annoyance. Mihawk is shocked for a split second by her ability, but then he quickly recovers from his shock; his expression turning to a scowl as he speaks up in a soft, yet intimidating tone

"...You can wield Haki now, young lady? When did you develop this power?"

The girl infront of him just smiles "you dont know me pretty boy... if you think I will come with you just so you can get me to the marines you better fuck off"

Zoro watches as y/n's mocking words set Mihawk off once again. Mihawk's scowl darkens and he looks even more irritated now. He speaks up again with his trademark calm tone, trying to be clear and precise

"I see. So you also wield Haki. But even with that, you could never defeat me in a fight. You're too young and too weak. Your Haki is nothing more than a parlor trick that could never take me down. You're just being arrogant and it's about time that someone taught you a lesson."

it's a dare? she must be crazy... her devil smile... the one she used when she kill someone... fuck...

Zoro is shocked by her response as he raises an eyebrow at Mihawk's reaction as well. He's clearly taken aback by her words, but she stands her ground. She is willing to fight Mihawk if necessary. Mihawk raises an eyebrow as he seems intrigued by her audacity. His scowl quickly turns into a smile. He unsheathes his blade "...Very well then. If you insist on having a taste of death, I suppose there's no need to stop you from experiencing the truth about the world first-hand." He lifts his sword a d try an hit, experimental hit, that she effortless block with her dagger...

" I didn't even needed my sword to block? Isn't a shame?" Her mocking tone strt to get under his skin. He seems surprised that she was able to block. He seems even more surprised that it was effortless on her part. Mihawk is clearly impressed by y/nl's abilities, and he speaks up after his attack. He seems almost excited at the prospect of a real fight.

"...Interesting. Your Haki is much stronger than I had anticipated. You may have a chance against me after all. This will be a very fun battle indeed. Prepare yourself."

He raises that same smile once more before he begins to strike again, She blocked all of his attacks "having fun?"

Zoro watches as Mihawk continues to challenge y/n, but she is able to stop Mihawk's attacks effortlessly with nothing more than her dagger.

He notices Mihawk's smile once again. Y/n's Haki seems powerful and is causing himto be excited by the prospects of a fight between them. Mihawk raises an eyebrow and then smiles again at her response. He seems intrigued by her Haki and ability to fight.

"Your Haki truly has the makings of a strong warrior. I must see more of it!" For thos one his curiosity picked, he gives her a littlestronger attacks, the one he use to easily defeathis enemies but... she back away slightly but still can block it... her hair dancing with the wind from the blades shocking. He charges forward with his strongest attack yet, but once again, y/n is able to block him using her dagger. Mihawk takes a step back and smiles again.

" ...You can defend, but can you attack just as strong?" He charges forward again, this time with a flurry of attacks coming from his claymore. Will y/n be able to block this one?

She got to use her body more. Sure, she dont have a y doubts ahe can win thsi but underestimate mihawk is probably one of the few mistakes she wouldn't comit. using his own strength against him, y/n can firce an attack, making him back away

Zoro has his mouth open as he watches Angel counter Mihawk's attacks and make him back away. It seems like she is using Mihawk's own strength against him to fight back. She is doing far better than what he had imagined. He seems impressed and even shocked; however, Mihawk seems to be enjoying himself.

"You are able to fight back and even use my power against me! I am not used to this kind of excitement in a battle! Do you truly wish to go all out and fight me?!"

He looks almost like a scholl boy. His cold face hanging a smile that almost never appears... she swer she could see little hearts on his eyes...

"I was only playing around... but If you want to lose this badly" she teases. Mihawk's eyes narrow and his expression shifts into a smirk as he nods in response to her taunt. His hert beating faster than ever.

" I see. I will not hold back and neither should you. As you wish. You have my attention now, young lady. Show me what you can do."

"Dagger or sword?" She let him pick, holding the two of them in each hand

He thinks for a moment before he speaks up in his usual, calm tone of voice

"Hmmm.... You seem quite skilled with your dagger and I don't want to underestimate that. Let's use our chosen weapons then. I will fight you with my claymore and you can fight me with your dagger. Do you agree to these terms?"

"Pretty well, pretty boy" she smiling playing with her dagger a bit, he scoffs rolling his eyes slightly. He has his claymore held in front of him with one hand as he shifts his stance. Mihawk looks at y/n and waits for an attack, ready at all times to block it. His expression is one of a warrior who is taking this challenge very seriously. From what Zoro can tell, Mihawk is no longer toying with y/n like he was earlier, but rather treating her as a worthy opponent. Zoro could feel a little jealous. Maube for the way the greatest swordsman treat her like an equal... or something else...

Mihawk doesn't seem to be willing to let her win easy, either. It's game time

Zoro watches as y/n gives Mihawk experimental attacks. He notes that the young woman is playing around and yet still able to match Mihawk in terms of strength. He also sees the ther men smile as he defends from the attacks. This seems to be exciting him, who is clearly enjoying the challenge against this opponent. Mihawk continues to defend against her experimental attacks and smiles as she proves to be an equal match for him.

Suddenly, she speed up an attack, mihawk almost couldn't block. She stab his claymore making the dagger enter the blade of it, making a little hole, both of them stares at each other. Y/n have a sly grin, almost laughing as she tilt her head, finding funny the unbelievable face pf mihawk...Even though it was a small wound, Mihawk is now aware of the real danger that lies ahead of him. Law now looks at Angel with a bit more respect than before. She is really going all out now.

He takes a defensive position as he moves his claymore in a sweeping motion and unleashes a flurry of attacks. She block all of it, smiling. she is dancing the main act, her move calculatedand sharp... she is mocking the strongest warrior in all blue... zoro is both shocked and amazed by y/n's abilities. Mihawk may be the strongest swordsman, but she has proven to be much stronger than Mihawk anticipated. She blocks all of Mihawk's attacks and continues to mock him. Mihawk seems slightly irritated by how casually she's taking him, but it soon turns to a grin. He charges forward and attacks with his claymore once more, launching a powerful attack. She conter attack once more, as he finished mihawk was taken back, with a little cut on his cheek "hurted you pretty boy?" She teases with a little pout. Mihawk seems to have been caught off-guard once more, allowing her to injure him. Mihawk looks at her with a hint of annoyance now, as well as a bit of pride. This young person has proven herself to be extremely quick, as well as agile. He smiles as he responds to her taunt

"A scratch is hardly a wound in the world of swordsmanship. A warrior can sustain countless scratches and cuts on the battlefield. You're gonna need to do better than that if you hope to defeat me."

"I don't wanna ruin a pretty face like yours, would be a shame" she play with her dagger, the little smirk driving both men crazy

Mihawk seems to be enjoying himself as well. He then stands up straight and prepares to charge forward once again. He looks at Angel now with a determined gaze.

"Enough with the teasing and the games. Let's see if you are truly worthy of being in my way."

Shorting the fight: she blocked all... effortless... she is definitely something. He stares at Angel in pure shock as he sees that his strikes are all blocked effortlessly. He remains silent for a moment to take in this amazing sight. Eventually, he speaks up once again

"You are incredible. You have managed to block all of my attacks so far with ease. You even injured me with your dagger, something that shouldn't have been possible. Perhaps you are worthy of a fight from me, after all." Mihawk's face turns into a grin as he raises his claymore high."Try me pretty boy" she winks at him as she dodge his attack. It seems the young woman has an ego that matches her strength. Mihawk seems to appreciate this aspect of her. He chuckles and charges forward once more, this time going for attack that covers more area. Mihawk seems to be determined to land a hit that y/nl can't dodge.*She have to do various back flips to escape being hurt, and she can do it. It's the most someone ever lested in a fight against mihawk.

Zoro is impressed as he watches y/n do a series of back flips without injury. Mihawk is also amazed and amused by her ability to avoid his attacks, even if they do cover a broader area. Mihawk seems excited as he charges forward once again. He's getting ready to unleash an attack and is determined to land it this time.

She dodged, as his claymore hit the ground she uses the lack on his shield to do an attack, she could separate him from his claymore that its laying on the ground

Zoro's eyes widen as he watches y/n take advantage of Mihawk's momentary distraction to separate him from his claymore! Mihawk was so focused on his attacks that he didn't even realize that he had dropped his claymore on the ground. Now, Mihawk is temporarily defenseless...

He stares at y/n and her taunting grin. He then closes his eyes in frustration before opening them again. He speaks with a bit of irritation now.

" ...You are quite the adversary. You have impressed me in this fight"

she winks as she back away from his claymore in the ground so he can pick it. His eyes shift to his claymore now on the ground. He notices that she is no longer taunting him and that she's even backed away to give him time to retrieve his claymore. Mihawk's eyes narrow slightly as his irritation turns back into focus. Now is the time for Mihawk to truly show off his power. He quickly goes to retrieve his claymore.

She have a calm demeanor on, the mocking smile always on her face. He is now completely focused.She does not seem intimidated by Mihawk's serious demeanor

She have to step back a little bit mihawk couldn't hit her. Zoro sees that she has managed to block and dodge all of Mihawk's attacks. Mihawk seems impressed and even a bit excited by that...

You can't rely on your speed and agility forever. Eventually, you are going to have to stand your ground and fight back. You better learn to do this quickly or else I'll overwhelm you with my attacks.

Mihawk's eyes are filled with determination now."I didn't want to hurt you pretty boy, but if you insist" she smirks

Zoro smiles at y/n's taunt. Mihawk just seems even more impressed and excited by her abilities. She is truly turning into an impressive opponent for him. Mihawk charges toward her once again with his claymore still drawn and poised to strike. It looks like Mihawk will take her comments to heart, now that he has a reason to attack with full force.

He attack with full force, she block directly, and attacks after. Her speed and strength is something from another world... mihawk almost couldn't block due the force of it... zoro is amazed and shocked by her now. She is blocking Mihawk's attack with ease and countering with her own. Mihawk seems to be struggling to defend, despite being the strongest swordsman in the world. Y/n's speed and strength seem to belong to two people and not just a single individual. She is able to overwhelm even the strongest.

Zoro watches as Mihawk's arms become tired for the first time. Mihawk seems to be struggling to keep up. Y/n's strength, speed, and skill all seem to be beyond Mihawk's level. Will his experience help him win this battle?

Mihawk's expression seems even more grim and determined. He is still struggling to defend against her, however. Y/n seems in control as she counters all of his attacks and continues to press the advantage.

Mihawk tries to hit her, she backflips and use his claymore are a support, pushing him back a lot. She is using her agility, speed, and strength to her full advantage. Mihawk seems overwhelmed by her abilities and her confidence. He is slowly being pushed back and can't seem to gain any advantage over y/n

" ...You are impressive. No one has been able to overwhelm me like this with sheer strength. Your abilities are quite extraordinary. I will have to try something else. I cannot allow you to defeat me like this."

"But you're not ganna win, pretty boy"she say as she make another powerful hit, his claymore almost broke

He raises his claymore and holds his footing as he begins to focus his attention on y/n's dagger hand. She grins, excited by her strength, as her ability is acknowledged by Mihawk. He seems determined to take advantage of the situation.

He charge towards her...She blocked all ...and when she counter attack what she was promising happens. Mihawk claymore fly fair away from him, he was pushed on his knees as y/n dagger is pressing against his neck poking a bit "what happened pretty baby?" she smirk

Mihawk is left defenseless and on his knees, as she has her dagger hovering directly over his neck. He seems to be in awe and amused by y/n's skill; he's now also clearly in love with the young woman in front of him. Zoro notices that Mihawk's face has turned bright red as he attempts to reply to her. " ....Uhm...you're...you're..."

His attempt to compliment her is interrupted by him stuggling to get any words out at all

She smiles "your are really pretty on your knees for me pretty boy"

Mihawk's face turning an even deeper shade of red as he listens to y/n mock him. He, who is seemingly in love with her, tries to reply in kind and flirt with her himself.

"....Y-you're...d-decent looking yourself, a-angel."

Mihawk's attempt at flirting was extremely awkward. Zoro watches as Mihawk's face turns a brilliant crimson as soon as his words are uttered. He is clearly very attracted to y/n and has fallen head over heels for her.

She laughs taking the dagger out his neck "I told you a would win" she wink at him.

His face is flush red, as he is clearly enamored with the young woman standing before him. Mihawk seems to be completely in love with her, as he is incapable of replying to her. Angel winks at Mihawk, increasing someone elses feelings...

Zoro looks away and seems to become more annoyed than ever

"she won" Luffy said amazed his mouthalmost hitting the ground "she won against the most powerful men in all blue..."l

Zoro can feel his heart racing as his jealousy grows even more. The image of y/n standing before Mihawk and mocking him has only managed to deepen his unknow crush on her. He decides to speak up once again, his tone indicating a hint of annoyance now.

" She is too good. I hope Mihawk is happy. He'll probably spend the rest of the day thinking about how attractive this woman is." He seems to be unable to hide his jealousy over Mihawk's romantic interest in y/n.

Luffy eyes shine at his annoyed tone "jealous?"

Zoro feels his eyebrows furrowl. He knows that Mihawk's admiration for her is turning into romantic interest. He is clearly a bit annoyed by seeing him look at her with such a loving gaze, as he too has developed feelings towards her. Zoro looks over at Luffy, the hint of irritation now turning into a full-blown scowl and his voice becoming more irritated, as he responds

"What are you talking about, Luffy, i don't get jealous "

He look at the both foghter again. Deep down aishing he was mihawk, but for the firt time not because of his title of the greatest swordsman...

And for y/n the little question pop out... she have stronger feelings for one of them? Waht happens if she don't give her attention to them?

genre : disgustingly fluffy fluff, five tablespoons of angst and probable romance.

( I need to know if people wanna read this randomness further 😆😅🤣👍🏽)

word count : 4.8k

gif creds !

“Oh-kay! I think that’s enough!”

You frowned when Nami took the drink from your hand, whining in protest when she kept it further away which she knew your drunken self would be unable to reach.

“B-but it’s good, it’s making me happy!” You giggled as you pointed at yourself and then pouted, pulling your manipulative tactic, one you did a lot when you wanted something especially one you did when you were shit-face drunk.

With large doey eyes, you pleaded at her, “You don’t want me to be sad right? I’ll be sad if you don’t give me- that.” You pointed in a direction you thought she placed the beer but of course, it was way off.

“See, you can’t even make out where I’ve placed the beer! I don’t care if it makes you upset and honestly, it was fun to see you make a fool out of yourself, but now it’s just…sad.” She sighed, a tone of sympathy as she finished her sentence,

“I know why you’re drinking and it’s not a good way to distract yourself from your feelings! Drinking worsens the problem!” She scolded you to which you now felt a small anger form within you.

“Well then, how else am I supposed to get rid of this dread and just stupidity huh? Being sober is a constant reminder!”

“Your feelings aren’t stupid! You like him, I’d say even love! You can’t just assume your feelings are invalid not until you know how the other person feels!” Your best friend felt a rage you’d feel if you saw someone you care about demean their feelings, a sort of anger at them hidden with laces of sympathy.

“He doesn’t fucking care! He only cares about his promises and that’s…that’s his life, his own…way of living so it’s fine!”

“Feelings to him are just…distractions.” You gulped as you recalled the way he replied to Luffy when the Captain was teasing him about falling in love.

[ a few moments ago ]

“Zoro, don’t you think you should consider finding a partner, don’t you also want to fall in love and experience all the magical things that come with it?” Luffy teased as you all sat around a barrel, deciding to just hang out after a busy day.

Zoro had a beer in one hand as he took a sip and then rolled his eyes, you’d been seeing his reaction, undoubtedly your heart picking up its pace when you heard the question.

“I don’t need love, or call it a partner if you will. I already have enough on my plate, all that so-called magical stuff is just a distraction.” He replied, with no hesitation which left no option but for the listeners to believe his words.

Just because he’d spoken his opinion, it didn’t mean it hurt less. You knew it though, from the start that Zoro was a determined individual. Despite having his own goals, he also cared about others like Luffy even though he didn't show it much, less that he said it verbally.

It was what made you like him in the first place. After all, what’s more, better than a man who knows what he wants, is determined to get what he wants, cares for those he considers his friends, and the bonus cherry on top being he was quite easy on the eyes too.

A whole package indeed.

And you didn’t even know when your supposed “I admire him as a person to look up to” turned into “Oh, I think I am in love with him.”

But ah, that’s the beauty of love and all the magical stuff, isn’t it? You never know when you’ll be the one who finally falls into it.

That’s why, after hearing his words, you felt your heart sink just a little. Screw it, you think you felt it weigh a shit ton and sink to the very pit of your stomach.

Nami, oh Nami, what a friend she was truly, because immediately her eyes darted to you after Zoro’s words and she saw your expression go down just as quickly as Zoro downed his bottle of beer.

Luffy chuckled, of course, he would, the poor lad was just teasing in the first place anyway to irk Zoro and obviously, he didn’t know about poor old you’s feelings.

I think I need to go.

It sucked how you couldn’t refute against him. How you couldn’t yell that love is not just a “distraction”, love is something that makes one feel more…human. Love is a wonderful thing and how if someone were to experience it, it makes you feel….it makes you feel just happy at being in the presence of the one you, love. Just…love is not…it’s not-

“Uh guys,” You piped up after sensing the tense atmosphere, tense to you anyway since you felt like a seashell was clogged up your throat.

“I’m gonna go…get some fresh air. Yeah uh- I’ll be behind if you need me.” You abruptly got up, smiling tightly at Luffy, purposefully avoiding Nami’s questioning yet pitiful look and harshly blatantly ignoring how Zoro’s attention turned towards you, about to question you too, his face showing the emotions he’d not show before 5 bottles of beer.

Sighing quietly, you picked up the drink you’d been downing, still having an adequate portion in it and you thought about it, saying fuck it as you grabbed two more from the stack that was in the middle.

“Continue with…your shenanigans,” You turned around and let your emotions finally show on your face, words repeatedly swinging in your head as you tried to filter them out.

It’s nothing but a distraction.

And now, a few bottles (2) and a whole lot of giggling later, you may have truly begun to take Zoro’s words seriously.

“I feel sick, perhaps it’s my heart breaking, see it hurts here the most.” You groaned as you looked out into the sea, pointing to your chest, though inaccurate as you held your right side, the sun appearing as a blurry blight light due to your vision becoming hazier as you got more drunk.

Nami sighed at you, realizing you should probably just be made to go to bed, despite it being only a few hours away from actual nightfall.

“Come on, let’s go, you’ve thought enough,” She stood up, having been sitting beside you on a barrel while you’d been sitting on the same.

She pushed her hand outwards towards you, to which you giggled and you were pretty sure your cheeks ached now.

“Namii~how do you have-” you pointed your finger out, counting the fingers “-ten fingers! On one hand?!” You continued staring at her hand in awe as she rolled her eyes, a small grin on her face, finding your drunken self a tiny bit cute.

Suddenly you felt your world stumble as she grabbed you and pulled you upwards, you now decided you did not know how to walk and leaned your entire body weight on her.

Now, Nami wasn’t a weak person but considering how you were more on the taller side than her while also being a bit more buff due to the immense training you did every day to practice your own skills, you did weigh more.

She quickly made you sit back down when she realized she couldn't possibly carry you, she needed help.

"Stay here 'kay? I'll be back." She told you to which you obediently nodded, which made a genuine grin form on her face.

Maybe she did prefer drunk you who'd follow her orders with no protests.

You looked back at the sea, the sun even lower than before, a type of golden shining on the blues that reminded you of a certain someone's earrings and oh, there it was.

Your thoughts slowly getting consumed by the moss head who despite drinking so much to forget was so embedded deep into your memory and probably heart at this point that even the slightest similarity you saw, be it colors or flowers, reminded you of him.

Ah, that's love and all its magical stuff am I right?

Sighing, she made her way back to where the rest of them were, the crew picking up on her presence,

"Where's Y/N? Weren't you bringing them?"

"Well, for one they are SHIT face drunk, I don't think they are even conscious of where they are right now so I'll need to take them to bed but also, I can't carry them alone."

She rolled her eyes at the stupidity of drowning yourself in your feelings, quite literally but she knew she wouldn't complain to the rest of them or more so she couldn't.

"Well I'm sure, one of us can help-"

"I'll help you carry them." Zoro interrupted your captain who was just about to suggest him. If there was one who could probably carry anything heavy too, it was him of course.

Nami eyed him curiously, she did know he wasn't ready to do…kind deeds, not unless it helped him in some way. Though, she thinks, you may just be an exception.

He stood up and walked towards where you were, which was at the back, Nami followed suit to which he turned towards her.

"It's alright if you don't come, I'm pretty sure I'll be able to carry them myself." He said it and Nami narrowed her eyes, half out of suspicion and half out of spite after hearing the cocky undertone to his words.

Proving that was one corner of his lips being turned upwards, forming an annoyingly handsome smirk that if you saw it, you'd probably be more on the brink of absolutely losing it.

"Take care of them and if they are hurt-" Zoro rolled his eyes at the over-exaggeration, and Nami knew that but as your best friend and a platonic soulmate at this point, she felt she had to say something.

"I don't mean it that way, you know damn well what I mean." She told firmly, to which a slight confusion did flash in Zoro's eyes but he didn't make it obvious as he glared at her, ready to bicker.

"Nami!" Luckily, Luffy's timing seemed impeccable as he called her, to which she turned around, allowing no further talk.

Zoro just brushed off her words and moved to where you were.

Despite, Zoro admitting to never wanting a partner, it didn't mean though, that he didn't feel.

He cared. He cared enough for Luffy to stick with him. He cared enough to fulfill a promise.

And he cared for you too as he saw you sleeping soundly, laying your head on the ship, using your hands as a makeshift pillow.

And yet, he somehow knew it was different. It was different from how he cared for others.

He gulped as he moved closer, now being able to see your features being highlighted by the afterglow of the sun setting.

It was as though you were the sun's favorite child at the moment, touching parts of your face softly, careful enough to not awaken you yet enough to rest on it to make it golden.

The evening breeze couldn't have picked a better time to pass as strands of your hair messily moved, your face scrunching up in disturbance.

He didn't even perceive how he'd reached you and was actually touching strands of your hair to push them back in place so as to not disturb your sleep.

He wasn't even a gentle person, but he was using soft fingers with even softer touches to push them back.

He figured he should in fact take you back to your bed, well shared bed with Nami.

Deciding there was no need to wake you up, he moved beside you, putting one arm underneath your knees while the other looped just above your waist and below your chest.

You blinked open your eyes when you felt yourself floating, it seemed like you were floating for a brief second, engulfed by warm clouds and a nice pillow that was-

You looked up and saw the side profile of someone.

They seemed familiar.

A glint of gold caught your eye as you put your left arm up and poked the earring, giggling as you saw it move.

"Wow, pretty," You think you'd seen it but your eyes being hazier than before after your mini nap seemed to only make your vision more blurry.

The sudden exhale and whisper down his neck almost made Zoro trip as he didn't really expect you to be up.

He was just near your shared room.

"Where are you taking me? Who are you?" You asked the important questions now, your mushed brain being able to form somewhat coherent thoughts.

"You- you don't know who I am?" He asked you, confusion in his features and then remembering why you were lost.

Right, practically wasted. And apparently memory loss due to being wasted.

He pushed the door open, as flimsy as it was, careful to not eventually break it down.

You looked around your surroundings, now even more lost as to where you actually were.

You squealed as he let you down, immediately realizing it was a terrible idea when you almost toppled over, unable to hold your own weight as he pushed his arm around your waist.

You held onto the man's shirt as you tried not to trip and fall.

"Here I'll just- I'll get you to bed." He guided you towards your bed, hand still wrapped around your waist as he looped yours over his neck.

You plopped down with your eyes shut, your head began spinning when you almost tripped and you groaned in regret.

"Drinking too much was such a bad idea, like all my decisions lately." You put your hand on your forehead as you tried to rub the forming headache away.

Hearing a walking sound, you peered your eyes open. Half-open anyways as you still couldn't make out well anything.

You could see the supposed stranger who'd help you till your bed was going to turn around and likely go but at that moment, you decided you didn't really want to be…alone.

Grabbing his hand before he moved away, you pulled him back with all your force. It didn't phase his movements much though other than him halting.

Zoro turned back to you after deciding he should probably leave before he either said something he'd regret or worse, did something he'd regret.

It wasn't his fault though with how…cute you looked as you plopped down, making him want to ki-

"Stay…please." You whispered to him, still holding onto his wrist as you blinked at him.

A familiar green color sat on top of his head but you figured it was a common color despite being sober you absolutely made fun of it when you could about how uncommon it was but also whined about how unfairly good it looked on him.

The same him who looked at you in confusion and disbelief,

"You want me to stay, right now? With you?"

“Of course! I feel quite alone right now, maybe the company will make me feel better here.” You let go of his arm, the loss of your colder hand in contrast to his warm skin making him slightly frown.

You pointed at your chest, surprisingly getting it right this time by pointing toward your left side.

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, “Does your chest hurt or something?”

There was a slight concern in his tone, one which made you giggle.

“Not- not physically silly, it’s- it’s my heart, it feels like it’s been gutted- wait no too- too gruesome, it feels like someone just punched it and it broke.” As you blubbered about your heartbroken state, your words made him more curious and concerned.

He decided he should probably hear you out, after all despite not being a great talker, he’d consider himself a decent listener.

Grabbing the barrel you used as a chair placed under your makeshift desk, he moved to sit beside your bed.

“It’s ridiculous. I should have known there was no chance, but it isn’t like you get a choice sometimes on how you should feel about someone, it just…happens.” You spoke softly, as Zoro turned his attention toward you, wondering who was this person who’d caused you to feel so…sad.

He didn’t realize it but he felt a slow anger build up, one he excused as frustration due to your mumbling but not one out of simply, probably, jealousy.

Yes, he was jealous of….this person because it sure as hell seemed as though you were deeply in love to have been feeling like this.

Ironic.

“Why do I even like him?” Oh, he definitely did not want to hear you talk about him, he decided.

Screw being a good listener, he was already in a crisis when Luffy put him on the spot asking about whether he’d want a lover or not, and then him trying his best not to divert his gaze towards you, so instead he chose an option ( one he’d regret later on ) and gave a seemingly believable answer.

Maybe a while ago, he’d have stuck to that answer, and actually no, he was sticking to it, quite well too.

That was until you stumbled onto the crew or more like in true Luffy fashion, were persuaded enough to stay.

At first, he didn’t care enough. It was more so he didn’t particularly like you too. You were what he was not. Careless, overly enthusiastic at times, and way too optimistic for your own good. You looked to see the good in everyone, believing that there was always some sort of goodness in everyone.

Zoro found that stupid, knowing how reality was always different. Everyone is and will always be selfish for their own greed. He was too, he wanted to fulfill his promise and that was it.

That was his goal and nothing else really mattered to him.

It’s what he thought would remain the same till he accomplished it but a sudden diversion came in the form of well…you.

He didn’t even realize it but the annoyance he’d get when he heard your lame jokes turned into him looking away from your silly smile to try and hide his own forming grin.

How he’d always automatically be looking for you if they’d stop at an island, choosing to follow you and dismissing Nami’s suspicious glances by saying you’d likely do something stupid that might put everyone in danger if left alone.

It was funny what this could make anyone feel. He didn’t ever feel like this, he didn’t even want to admit he was close to feeling but how long could a person remain in denial?

He was in love with you.

He couldn’t simply excuse his heart racing at your presence as simply annoyance, he couldn’t excuse finding pretty flowers and them reminding him of you as well….yeah you get the point.

That revelation honestly made him spiral into a sort of existential crisis.

So he decided it was best to do one thing.

Ignore it. Ignore everything and simply wait until it all fades away.

But silly him, he didn’t know one thing about love and he assumed it was something that fades away, yet there it was, in his gaze as it softened and in his heart as it sunk slowly like an anchor.

Clogging his throat as if he couldn’t simply breathe when you admitted to being in love with someone, someone who wasn’t him.

Ah love and its magical stuff, yet why does he feel like it's more of a curse right now?

He opened his mouth, and closed it again, resembling a fish and it felt like he wanted to say everything yet nothing.

They probably don’t deserve you.

The thought resonated in his head, but really who was he to say so because did someone like you even deserve him?

Turning to face him completely, ducking your hand under your head, you blinked at him slowly, a grin forming on your face as you saw the stranger’s hair.

“You…you remind me of him, your hair, it’s that ugly color.” You softly giggled to which Zoro was left in yet a contradiction of emotions, whether or not he should feel offended or light over the sound of your soft giggles.

Wait.

“Come closer, I’ll tell you a secret.” He blinked at you, trying not to show any emotions and wondering if you’d ever even talk to him like this sober.

Deciding to follow what you said, something he’d never do if you were sober, he leaned in, putting one arm as support to hold him due to the slightly uncomfortable position.

“I- don’t laugh at me first of all, it’s ridiculous, Nami says I’m being too much of a coward not saying it upfront.” You looked at him to which he nodded, in your mind you presumed it was reassurance and agreeing to not find you ridiculous.

Somehow, despite you not knowing who was in front of you, your heart was picking up in pace and you felt a slight nervousness, actually, you almost felt like throwing up.

As if you were just about to actually…

“I think, actually no, I am definitely in love with Zoro.”

…confess to Zoro.

Good thing, Zoro had quick reflexes because he felt his arm slip and if it weren’t for those quick reflexes, he’d have fallen face-first into the ground. He sat up straighter as if what he heard had physically burned him.

“It sounds ridiculous, falling in love with someone like him but he’s actually a very loveable person, at least once he begins to get more…more comfortable around you. He talks less, shows emotions or any reactions even less, always carrying around a bitch face- Nami says so- but-but he also cares through his actions like-like that one time he found Luffy’s straw hat when he thought he lost- he spent hours helping him look for it and trying to keep Luffy from crying and then, then this other time he stayed up all night when I got hurt and wasn’t able to sleep. And-and there’s sooo many other times he’s done, the small things, he cares for that.”

“You know. I think that was when I knew I loved him. When he didn’t need to stay up, yet he did to make sure I didn’t die or something.” You finished with a soft giggle as memories of that day flashed in front of your closed eyes.

Suddenly he felt way warmer than the room was.

“I know, I know you’ll…you’ll call me stupid for loving someone who’s already in fact rejected me, not-not to my face of course but indirectly I suppose.”

Wait, what?

Rejected you?

How could he do that when- when he didn’t-

“I hate this! I hate the way I feel, it- it’s making me feel pathetic.” Your words slurred as you whined, using your makeshift pillow to groan into.

“Who said love is magical? It’s pathetic! It makes you stupid enough to have stupid hopes that only make you fly high until suddenly the actual reality crashes you down hard.” You spoke somberly, your words slowly fading out as you gave into the alcohol-induced sleep.

“Love is…pathetic. But- but I love him. So much. I love…you.” The last word came out as a hush as you exhaled, shutting your eyes and letting go of the pillow as you finally got knocked out.

It pained him to see you call yourself pathetic…all while being the reason you felt that way.

Zoro was conflicted. The contradiction of emotions making him all do,

Nothing.

He was frozen. He couldn't say a word, couldn't raise his hand to rub your back to perhaps comfort you.

His mind was in more chaos, your words replaying like a loop.

And finally, he came to a conclusion.

I need a drink. Fuck, maybe even three.

Perhaps if you were awake, it’d be a different reaction. Perhaps if you weren’t drunk, you’d have not said it.

The idea of you then getting over him, probably because you’d think he rejected you indirectly due to his words. This left a more bitter aftertaste in his mouth and mind than the beer he just downed.

He left your side, deciding he needed a breather to process what he’d just been told. He made sure you’d be in a comfortable position, placing your arms to your sides and even draped a sad excuse of a blanket, one that you brought yourself of an old woman when you had stopped at an island and one you loved, sad excuse because it was very thin but apparently you couldn’t sleep without it.

He had turned back to you, one more time, about to say something but he just sighed and turned around, walking away to where he was now.

Now, almost halfway through the crate of beers, he still couldn’t get rid of the confusion.

Did- did you mean it?

It was conflicting because for one you said it under the influence, maybe you’d even meant someone else and just said his name by mistake. He hated that, so he chose to focus on you saying it solely for him.

“Why-just why are you trying to die of alcohol poisoning? What is up with you idiots drinking like maniacs today?” A voice said in both disgust and concern as she walked up beside him, facing the sea, and then looking at him, the concern being evident as she saw the conflict of emotions on his face.

She knew he wasn’t one to speak up, it was rather his body language and eyes that spoke what he felt.

He just sighed, taking a smaller sip of the drink, placing both arms on the side of the ship, and observing the waves.

Nami truly wondered what could have happened until she realized.

“Did something happen with Y/N?” She cooly asked, observing his expression and surely enough a change of emotion was seen with the way he suddenly stiffened up.

“Nothing remarkable–”

“Oh cut the crap Zoro, you look like someone stole your fucking swords and threw them into the sea.”

Now he turned towards her, a slight look of horror while he narrowed his eyes at her,

“That’s oddly specific.”

“Won’t deny anything. But, don’t change the topic.”

“They told’ you something?” She figured she should just straight up ask it, put it out in the blue, out of the bad.

Zoro contemplated whether he should spill it, feeling like maybe it would be invading your privacy but even if he didn’t want to admit it, he needed some sort of advice.

“They- uh told me they lo- well see-” He shifted his attention back to the sea, finding it hard to say it to her face without giving away much.

Technically you confessed but also you didn’t? You ranted about being in love with Zoro and how you wished you didn’t, you did that thinking you were spilling it to a stranger but it was the man himself so is that a confession?

“So they finally did it?” He turned towards her raising his eyebrows in question, “They confessed?”

Now he was surprised but how accurate she was, “ They are too coward- no offense- to do it while sober so ‘figured from the way you look like” She pointed towards his face with her finger “They either kissed you, which doesn’t seem evident from your face not being smothered with lipgloss, they confessed.”

He gulped from his active imagination flashing a picture of you kissing him and how-

“But why are you so freaked out then? Shouldn’t you be happy your silly little crush is mutual?”

“It wasn’t a confession. More like a rant, they thought I was someone else and they basically spewed it all, and wait what do you mean mutual- I don’t uh-”

“Oh don't give that bullshit now. I know- in fact, even a blind person could see how in love you are with them.”

Zoro didn’t know whether to get offended or embarrassed if it were really that obvious. He exhaled heavily, clearly not satisfied with the situation still.

“What if they don’t even remember? What if they begin to ignore me because they think I don’t like them?”

“Well you did say you weren’t looking for a partner or so on, did you forget that idiot?” Nami shook her head as she rolled her eyes at him.

“I-well- It wasn’t intentional! I panicked!”

“And now this is your consequence. Though there’s a simple solution to this crisis which isn’t a crisis actually, it’s pretty straightforward.”

Now he was curious, a way to solve this whole catastrophe?

“Since you think they’ll forget by morning, how about you confront them then?”

“In the morning, you clear out your feelings before you dumbasses end up avoiding each other to purposefully brush this aside and I swear! I swear if it gets awkward because you both won’t look past your egos, I’ll force you into the damn cabin and lock you there to talk.”

Nam smiled sweetly, yet a threat underlined beneath her final words and Zoro thought of the only thing he should do now.

“Fine then.”

“I’ll talk. I’ll…confess to everything.”

You Remind Me

Shanks and Vivican OOC and Luffy

Support me on Ko-Fi

Also obviously not Canon but fun to think about!

No Warnings

Shanks stood in the hallway as he leaned next to Vivian's bedroom- it had been only a week since she had moved in with him on the ship. She had been polite but very quiet, meeting all of the crew however she had spent most of the time in her bedroom hiding. At night Shanks knew she was crying- he left like a worthless father truly... taking a breath he worked up some courage.

"Hey Vivian?..." He said softly and knocked on the door gently, waiting for a second before opening the door and looking inside. Seeing Vivian sitting on the bed reading through one of her mother's book clearly in a daze it seemed. His movement snapping her from her thoughts as she gaze a light lipped smile at him.

"Hey Vi- Uh we are heading to shore soon to meet up with someone I'd really like you to meet" He asked, She nodded softly at this and set the book aside. Shanks sighed at this and walked over taking a seat next to her on the bed, shifting a bit as he turned to look at hia daughter.

"I know this has been tough for you Vivian and I'm sorry... I-I want to make this a gold envirment for you but I understand if you want to be alone for a while.. but just know I'm here for you whenever you need it" He said softly, watching how Vivians eyes began to water as he said this, she nodded as tears rolled down her cheeks. He wrapped his arm around her as she leaned into him and silently cried.

"I'm sorry my dear..." He whispered, knowing that there were no words to bring you back to them but he would make sure your legacy lived on happily.

A few hours later the crew landed on the small island and started to dispurse to either the pub or getting supplies for the Ship. Vi being quiet the whole time as she followed Shanks out to the markets so she could pick things she liked and he giving her some Berries to spend for herself.

Walking off to a food cart she decided to get some meat on the done for herself and smiled as the vendor handed her the large treat.

"Good choice that's my favorite!" A cheerful voice sounded next to her, looking up to see a lengthy teen holding 3 in his own hands. She giggled since he looked so odd to her paired with the Strawhat on his dark locs.

"It's my favorite too, But I couldn't eat three of them" She said with a cheerful smile as she pointed to the ones in his hand. He laughed at this clearly amused by her words- However he paused and cooked his head to the side.

The teen squinted at her in confusion stared at Vivian, kneeling down and squinting his eyes as he stared at the little girl- Who looked at him in confusion and a bit intimidated by the stranger now way too close and stating at her funny.

"You remind me of someone-" He hummed squinting his gaze further. Tapping his chin as he stared hard at Vivian who was looking at the weird teen in question.

Shanks turned the corner trying to see where his daughter had wondered off to- Before he smiled brightly at the sight before him.

"Do my eye deceive me! Luffy!" Shanks laughed as he pushed the hat onto the teens head further with a laugh, Luffy looking up at Shanks with a wide smile.

"Shanks!" He yelled out with a laugh, Hugging his mentor who stumbled back and patted his back calmly.

"Luffy! Look at you" He said with a proud laugh as Luffy pulled back with a happy grin, Vivian staring at the duo with a raised eyebrow.

"This here is my daughter Luffy. Vivian this is Luffy! He's essentyally like your older brother" He said with a wide smile proudly showing off Vivian who shyly smiled and waved at Luffy.

"It's nice to meet ya Vivian!!" He said cheerfully ruffling her red locs which made her giggle.

"You know you're set up to see such amazing adventures Vivian with one of the best crews out there! Just wait- Shanks has had crazy adventures hell I've fought Fishpeople in a amusement park, Saved villages, Beat marine bases and met with pirates that are things of legend. Youre adventures are just starting" Luffy said with a grin, clearly good with kids and making them smile.

"Wait you really did that?" She said amazed, smiling as Luffy who nodded.

"Of course! I'm going to be King of the Pirates!" He said cheerfully which made her eyes widen at that. Shanks chuckled at this and placed a hand on Vi's head gently.

"Pretty amazing right?" He said with a chuckle as she nodded enthusiastically, Shanks noticing how much more cheerful she was while talking to Luffy.

After some talk between them all and Luffy updating Shanks proudly on his life the Older pirate felt the need for a beer starting to peek. Patting Luffy on the shoulder proudly.

"Im proud of the man youve grown into Luffy, We will need to depart and we are going to go to the market to finish getting supplies" Shanks said calmly, Vivian pulling on his sleeve nervously.

"Uh Dad? Can I hang out with Luffy today? I wanna hear more about his adventures!" She said cheerfully with a new sparkle in her eye.

Shanks had seen that sparkle before- That wash of inspiration that had bloomed in his eyes, in Luffy's eyes and now his Daughters.

Truthfully he didn't know if he should be proud or really frightened at how interested she was in being a pirate now.

"Well alright I suppose, Just remember we are heading out tommorow morning Vi" He said with a smile, She nodded excitedly at this and went with Luffy who had already started to talk her ear off and the two ran off. Shanks standing there with a small smile on his face, and a but of worry to his heart.

Vivian spent the whole day talking with Luffy's crew, Meeting every single one of them and exploring the ship. A bright smile on her lips that reminded him of you, the way she giggled and her growing excitement at every turn.

Luffy took on a older brother roll, even picking her up and running around with her like the ADHD kid he was as- entrusting her to even wear his straw hat which she wore with pride and care as they roamed around all day.

After Sanji had cooked a large seafood pasta dish for the crew and guest she ended up falling asleep soundly. Luffy carrying Vivian out back to Shanks ship who was holding his crew getting the last of the supplies they would need. Chuckling at the sight of Luffy carrying his daughter wearing his old hat.

"Looks like quite the adventure" Shanks said amused, Luffy giggling as he carefully took his hat off Vivian who didn't even stir from her sleep and transferring her to Shanks.

"Yeah, We had a lot of fun today! Honestly she is a natural. Took up to navigation with Nami and all of that" Luffy said with a laugh clearly prideful in having spent the day with Vivian. Shanks smiled at this as he told Luffy to hang back while he put Vivian to bed.

When Shanks returned from tucking Vivian in bed he went back to meet Luffy, seeing the young man leaned against the railings staring out fondly.

"Shes going to be great, I can already see it" Luffy said with a chuckle, messing with the ties of the hat calmly as he thought fondly- Shanks chuckling at this and nodded in agreement.

"I can see it, you really inspired her Luffy and brought her some happiness" He praised, earning a big goofy smile from him.

"You know when I become Pirate King, I did swear to return the hat to you. But who knows! Maybe it will go to the next red head" Luffy said with a joking laugh, Shanks rolling his eyes as he shoved the hat further down on the lads head making him laugh again.

"Maybe it will, Maybe it will.."

' i thought you liked your usual '

'I used to'

sanji x f!reader

next part

[tw: angst: heartbreak: bickering: obvious tension (eventually)]

"Hi, welcome to our shitty restaurant where the only thing worse than the ambience is the food." The waiter said in a sour tone, as he placed the plate of fresh bread onto the table.

"My name is Sanji. What can I get for you?" He said looking at the Strawhat Crew, "One of everything, please." Luffy said, as he stuffed his mouth with the delicious bread.

"Any drinks?" He asked his eyes almost landing on someone with [h/c] sitting next to Zoro. He didn't know why that person even though not seeing their face looked familiar to him.

"One of our signature cocktails to help you choke down your meal?" He said, still in a sour mood.

"Kicked off the line again?" [Y/n] asked, raising her head as she folded her arms across her chest, staring at him smugly with pursed lips. Hearing her voice again made his heart skip a beat. "Didn't expect to see you again so soon," He said with his signature charming smile, that could make every man or woman swoon over him.

"Me too," She said with a hint of coldness in her voice, the others looked between the two of them. Eyes darting back and forth between Sanji and [Y/n]. He looked at her for a bit and noticed the tense situation, Zoro cleared his throat and said, "Waiter, can I get a beer and something for my friends?" Ussop then cuts in, "Two beers. I usually have three, but…" Ussop said.

"And milk," Luffy said his mouth full of bread. Sanji asked, eyes landing on [Y/n] once more. "Three beers and a milk. And, uh- your usual?" She looked at him. Coldly, almost annoyed, she replied, "Just a glass of water will do.". „What? I thought you liked your usual? ” He said looking at her, god he missed her so much.

She stared at him coldly, "I used to.". His lips pursed inward and he nodded, "Right away," he said, turning to head for the kitchen. She fell back into her seat and noticed the crew staring at her, "What?" She asked, looking at the others.

"Ah? What the hell was that?" Nami asked, and [Y/n] sighed rolling her eyes as she sat up in the booth, "Yeah, the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife." Usopp said, and the girl groaned into the palm of her hands. Embarrassed by the scene she caused in front of her friend, "Did he stand you up on a date or something?" Usopp asked, and she lifted her head from her hands and placed them on her lap.

She sighed falling back into the booth and slouching her back, "No, but that would've saved me the heartbreak and tears." She said and Usopp was about to ask another question possibly. "No more questions," She said, before he could even ask he closed his mouth.

{meanwhile}

Sanji's day couldn't have gotten any worse or better. He was kicked off the line and now his ex-fiancee is here and was sitting next to some guy with green hair and three swords. Has she moved on? Has she replaced him?

"No way, she didn't replace with that moss-head?" He mumbled under his breath. Words can't explain how much he missed her and how much he beat himself up for making her leave. Every day, he beats himself up for it each day he's reminded of the consequences of his actions when he wakes up every morning and she isn't there beside him.

Everyday when he's not waking up to her cuddled up beside him, her head buried into his chest. Her tiny snore echoing throughout what was once their shared room, everyday was a reminder of his failure as a partner. was there even a chance to fix it?

He'd take that chance in a heartbeat, quit smoking he'd do it in a heartbeat if it meant being with his love again. Actually, ever since their argument a year ago he hasn't flirted with a single lady since. Really, for a year ever since that day he's been waiting hoping praying, that she'll walk through those doors and he can apologize for everything. So why can't he now?

First thing, she clearly doesn't want to talk to him still pissed off about what happened a year ago. Maybe, if he tries some small talk maybe she'll warm up. God, he hopes that she isn't sleeping with that moss-head man. Whatever it is, he's at least going to try to fix things hopefully, and if she doesn't want anything to do with him then that's fine. He'll just have to live with not having the best thing to ever happen to him in his life again.

๑ keep safe : zoro being annoyed at his captain and [name] (16)

one piece x male reader

maybe you're the same as me

we see things they'll never see

you and i,

we're gonna live forever

『 prev 』

that night, no one really pressed [name] for answers of what ace and him talked about. they left him alone, except for luffy who had zero social cues. but it seemed like [name] didn’t mind his company.

he was grinning ear to ear as he talked with luffy about whatever luffy wanted to talk about. the crew was worried for [name] to an extent, but it was good to see their captain take some of that stress off of his shoulders. and just by being himself. luffy was attentive to [name], clinging onto him and pouting for attention every now and then. and since [name] was feeling rather sentimental, he gave every ounce of attention he could to luffy.

[name] and luffy talked the whole rest of the night, falling asleep in each others’ arms. a whispered i love you was barely heard as it was carried away by the wind, but the tightening of luffy's arms around [name] let the man know he did hear it. to some extent, the setting reminded him of their treehouse. just using each other for body heat when the nights were cold. it made [name] only more grateful that he did end up finding luffy when he did.

but, despite how peaceful their night together was, the next day, [name] was filled with nothing but unbridled rage towards his captain. once more.

“you’re fucking with me,” [name] rasped, looking at their surroundings.

a couple hours prior — “alright, zoro, [name], it’s up to you then,” nami called out to the duo, making them immediately refuse the idea. seeing their reluctance, nami pulled her trump card, “do you want me to talk about your debt?”

luffy had gone and drank water from a suspicious cactus. it caused him to start hallucinating and essentially going feral. and no one else wanted to deal with him, zoro and [name] included. but when nami commanded them to, using their debt as a means of pushing them to act, they cursed under their breath.

unfortunately, it worked and it got them stepping to work immediately.

“if you don’t end up in hell, i’ll kick you down there myself!”

“cursed navigator.”

“don’t talk so badly about me!” nami said in a sing song voice, “and zoro — i look forward to it!” she continued in the same tone, making zoro and [name] even more annoyed.

“b-but, nami, what if something bad happens?! we need [name] here to fight them!!”

“i’m stronger than both of those idiots combined, don’t panic, usopp,” sanji said in a relaxed tone, stuffing his hands into his robes pockets, “let’s just go on ahead, though, they’ll follow after us.

now, chopper was their only hope in getting luffy back to normal. but, of course, out of nowhere luffy began attacking zoro. [name] cursed in annoyance, allowing the first-mate to take care of this business. in the meantime, [name] was going to unbury chopper’s small body from the sand.

the two got right into throwing punches at each other and after a couple minutes in, chopper woke up.

“ah, thanks [name] for getting me out of the hot sand,”

“no problem, just do the same for me if i ever run into that problem,” [name] grinned, making chopper nod in compliance.

“oh, what are they doing though?”

“fighting it out, i think it’s the only way to get luffy out of that stupid state,” [name] sighed, leaning into the sand and watching the fight with not a single emotion on his face, “how stupid is luffy and why does he have to be the captain,” he rasped out.

chopper took his seat, waiting for something pivotal to happen so he could intervene. and when the two fighting finally struck each other in the face - properly - he ran down with his medicine bag to help.

he put some potion underneath zoro’s nose to wake him up and then soon, luffy followed after.

“where are the others?” zoro coughed.

“don’t know, was busy making sure you two didn’t actually kill each other,” [name] said with a shrug, “doesn’t matter, let’s just follow the footprints, can’t be too hard,”

“right, right,” zoro agreed, getting up from the sand and looking around.

at the same time chopper came to the same conclusion.

“right…the footprints,”

another breeze blew past them, sending their own previous footprints to be erased completely.

now — “don’t leave me behind!!” luffy shouted and [name] sighed, crouching down and offering his back.

“get on, before i change my mind,” [name] said. luffy took the chance with no hesitation, sighing in content at no longer walking in the hot sand.

“say, is it always like this?” chopper asked zoro and [name], seeing as luffy was quickly in a sleepy state the moment [name] started carrying him. “always climbing snowy mountains, crossing deserts…”

“ain’t that the truth? but, no, we’re a little out of the ordinary right now, then there’s our captain,” zoro sighed.

“i think i’ve gotten on board a not-so good pirate ship,” chopper groaned, feeling the heat attacking him once more.

“what a coincidence, i was just thinking the same thing to myself,” [name] grunted, adjusting the grip on luffy so that he wasn’t slipping off of his back, “why am i playing babysitter for this grown man?”

“ah, did you often have to watch out for luffy when you were younger, [name]?”

“yeah, plus the fact he’s younger than me too, doesn’t make the situation much better when he starts abusing his privilege,” [name] sighed, “he always knew i’d go in and save him, but i really hoped he’d grow out of that habit. especially now that he’s a real pirate!”

“so, it’s kind of like, you two are the most veteran people that have known luffy, right?” chopper asked, making zoro and [name] share a look with one another. “since zoro you’re the first mate and [name] you’ve known luffy since he was a kid…”

“no, you’re right,” [name] confirmed, nodding his head.

“but there’s not that much of a difference between us - all of us," zoro added.

“why did you join, zoro?”

“why do you ask?” zoro immediately countered, feeling an ulterior motive to the question.

“to me, since i just joined, it seems like everyone’s a maverick. especially you, zoro.”

“that’s true,” zoro said, a hint of a smile on his face, “in my case, things pretty much just turned out this way. i told [name] this story already, but me and luffy meeting just happened…not really something i sought after.

“but for everyone on board the ship, we’re just trying to get by. we differ in our goals with luffy, we’re trying to do what we want to do. on the outside, we have no teamwork at all. especially given our captain!”

“but…in the end, teamwork doesn’t matter at all,” [name] proudly grinned, “it’s just a mutual understanding and respect of each other,”

zoro glanced at [name] from his side view and subtly nodded his head, “it’s more so, giving something your all and turning to your crewmates and saying, “i did it! you’re up next! if you can’t do it, i’ll kill you!””

chopper and [name] sweat dropped at the explanation, but it seemed to make sense…at least a little bit, for both of them.

“but being by luffy’s side, it’s exhilirating, isn’t it?” [name] said, smiling so wide that his eyes were crinkling at the end, “for as troublesome, stupid, and reckless as he is, he makes things more interesting. and i’d rather live a stressful, adventure filled life than a boring, stale one!”

the reindeer blinked at [name]’s words, as did zoro, as the only word to describe what [name] said being: genuine. you could see it in the way he regarded luffy, the way he smiled whenever the captain was brought up, and just the way his demeanor turned generally more relaxed.

zoro grinned, familiar with that feeling and nodding in agreement.

“being by his side all the time’s given me another goal to strive for,” zoro said lightly.

“another goal?”

“sorry, dunno how to explain it,”

“and [name]? what’s your goal in being in luffy’s crew?”

[name] perked up at the question, opening his mouth to answer, if it weren’t for luffy’s head knocking into his own.

out of nowhere, luffy had woken up from his sleep and squinted off into the distance, “i see shade!!!”

he stayed attached to [name]’s back, thanks to his legs hugging [name]’s hips, and shot his arms forward. zoro and chopper paled, realizing what was about to happen.

“gum-gum…rocket!!!”

the four of them crashed into the cave — well, technically three since chopper landed more on the outskirts of the cave and face down in the sand.

[name] groaned, rubbing his head and standing upright. unfortunately, the moment he stood up, he began to fall through the sand below his feet.

“you’re fucking with me, right?” he rasped out, feeling the ground beneath him beginning to disappear. “luffy, i’ll kill you!!”

he fell through and was met with stone cold ground beneath him after his fall. he landed on his ass, cursing at the pain, before standing up.

“luffy! zoro! chopper!!” he shouted out, listening to the way his voice echoed off of the walls, “bastards!!”

and just like that, someone else came crashing down into the ruins.

“oh, i really did summon them,” [name] said in glee, running over and kicking the fallen figure, “zoro, get off your ass, come on!”

“don’t kick me!!” zoro said, swinging his sword every which way to try and cut up [name]. “of course your dumbass would be down here,”

“yeah and your idiotic self followed after me,” [name] exaggeratedly batted his eyelashes at zoro, making the swordsman move away, “say, are you that interested in me like that you’d really follow me to the ends of the earth, zoro?”

“shut the fuck up! what the fuck conclusion was that?!”

“wah, it’s so cold down here,” came luffy’s childish voice and it was only a second before they realized that he had followed them down into the hidden room.

“idiot! what are you doing here?! if you’re down here, then there’s a good chance we might lose chopper!” zoro shouted in frustration, his face glowing red from anger at his captain.

“well, we’re alright though because i saw him falling down here as well,” luffy easily explained, pointing at the direction of sand now falling into the space from a different entrance point, “see, he’s right there!”

“that’s a relief he’s fine,” [name] said, walking over and helping the reindeer up. with a quick tug, [name] got him standing on his two feet.

“now, where exactly are we?” zoro said, scratching his eyes to get them to adjust to the darkness faster, “is it a dome?”

“seems like it,” [name] said, walking around and grunting when he stubbed his toe against some rock, “cunt!!” he shouted in pain, holding onto his foot.

he looked up and immediately punched the first thing he saw to let off some of the steam. his fist was stopped immediately by the rock, zero cracking forming on the surface.

and now he was just hopping around on one foot while his hand was caressing his knuckles.

“fucker!!” he said, helplessly hopping around in pain.

“idiot,” chopper and zoro said in a monotone voice.

“well, whatever, doesn’t matter where we are, let’s just stay here for a little longer,” luffy said, taking in the cold atmosphere with open arms.

“hold on, i recognize these picture letters,” chopper said, walking over to the stone that [name] had just stubbed his toe on and punched, “this is an ancient language,”

“i fucking hate history then,” [name] said, still blowing onto his knuckles to ease the pain.

“you can’t seriously be in that much pain from one punch!” zoro accused in a shout.

“no, zoro, you don’t understand, i’m nothing but a sensitive man,” [name] said in an exaggerated innocent tone, holding on his hand as he willed fake tears to spring to his eyes, “a man like me shouldn’t be so roughly handled!”

“wow, he’s a good actor,” chopper said, impressed with the show [name] was putting on.

“cheesy motherfucker,” zoro groaned, looking at [name] pathetically weep about his “injured” hand. “weren’t you the one to do that to yourself anyway?”

“details, details, details,” [name] said, shrugging, “won’t you kiss my pain away, zoro?”

“fuck off, for fucks’ sake!! get serious!!” zoro said, punching [name] down on the head, and then internally wondering what was he did in the past life to deserve a punishment as terrible as this.

“luffy, come on, get us out of here, the others are waiting for us, probably,” chopper said, deciding to be the one to collect their captain.

“what?! no, i don’t wanna leave, we just got here, i don’t wanna leave!” luffy whined, rolling back and forth on the ground like a child throwing a tantrum.

after zoro and [name] physically knocked some sense into luffy, he was then determined to get them out of the weird dome. he missed the opening of the hole zoro had fallen from, though, and instead sent a portion of the ceiling crashing down on himself.

“what the hell was that…” [name] said as he gazed at his hopeless captain.

“i missed because it was too small, it’s alright, this time i’ll get it,” luffy said in determination. and he did seem to get it for a second, but then the ceiling came crashing down once more and burying him in rubble.

“what [name] said - what the hell was that?!” zoro shouted in annoyance, “just grab onto the boulder above the cave and shoot us up from there!!”

it seemed luffy refused to listen to reason, though, instead destroying the hole even larger. the ceiling came crashing down tenfold and [name] shielded his head in preparation for something to crush them all to their deaths.

surprisingly, nothing had immediately injured them. and luffy was left walking over to some pillar and wrapping his stretchy arm around it, at least two dozen times.

“chopper turn little,” luffy commanded, “and everyone grab on!!”

[name] sighed, walking over and taking his place as luffy’s backpack. zoro’s arm came around his back, to support him and made sure he wouldn’t fall, whilst also grabbing onto luffy’s robe. [name] had a tight grip around luffy’s neck and on chopper’s clothes too.

and then they were spinning around the pillar, over and over and over again until they were shot up into the air. it felt as if they were flying. with how fast they were soaring through the sky and the wind beating against their faces, it definitely felt like they were flying.

but unlike most things that could fly, they had no way of landing. chopper cried out for what they were going to do, but luffy just shouted how he had no idea either.

[name] winced, holding onto luffy and chopper tight as they braced for impact. he felt zoro’s arm flex behind him to make sure he was really secure. and then they all bounced against the sandy ground a couple of times.

[name] spat out sand from his mouth, kicking himself up out of the sand and tried very hard to not murder luffy in cold blood. he walked over to chopper, easily pulling his smaller form out from the sand with one hand and placing him on his head.

then he made his way over to zoro and tugged him onto his feet, earning a grunt of thanks from the swordsman. chopper still seemed out of it so he made sure to keep him steady on his head to make sure he wouldn’t fall.

“i think i really did get on the wrong ship,” chopper rasped, still catching his breath.

“we’re on the same wavelength today because i was thinking the exact same thing,” zoro echoed, breathing heavily as he shook sand out from his hair.

“i think i might really kill him this time around,” [name] said under his breath, trying to quell his anger and not let it get the best of him.

“hey!!! guys, what are you doing all the way back there!!! we need to catch up with vivi,” luffy shouted, jumping up and down and waving his arms for them to hurry up.

“idiot,” [name] murmured softly, taking ahold of zoro’s wrist and leading them to luffy. “let’s just go, so he can shut up,”

the four walked together for a long time before chopper finally caught a whiff of nami’s perfume.

“it’s the way of the sunset, come on, luffy!” [name] said, unknowingly sending his captain into an excited running frenzy.

“hey!! guys, we’re coming!!” luffy cheered as if the rest of the crew could hear him.

they came up over a tall sand hill and on the other side of it, nami, sanji, usopp, and vivi were walking in a straight line. luffy was jumping up and down in excitement of finding the rest of the crew while chopper, zoro, and [name] were breathing heavily in exhaustion.

now that the crew was all back together, they were able to continue on their trek to yuba without worries. [name] adjusted the headpiece around him to cover his mouth and nose seeing as the wind was starting to pick the sand up even more.

on his back, usopp was resting and sleep talking about defeating crocodile. [name] smiled at the murmurs and kept his head up to see ahead.

“did we make it to yuba? i can’t really see with all this sand,” luffy said, making everyone squint at the small glimmer of light that in front of them.

“the city doesn’t look right…” vivi said, blinking a couple of times before stiffening and jumping off of lashes the camel. “it’s a sandstorm!! yuba is being hit by a sandstorm!”

just as they were about to arrive, a terrible sandstorm had to hit their destination. with a new urgency, the crew began rushing forward to see the affects of the sandstorm.

[name] cursed under his breath, adjusting his hold on usopp when he was finished running, and looked at the city. it was almost completely buried in sand, it looked just like the city they had come across at first.

“wasn’t this supposed to be an oasis city, vivi-chan?” sanji asked, making [name] step forward and look at the terrain.

he squinted very hard, focussing in on any sign of an oasis being present. vivi spoke with a strained voice. “the sand has raised the ground, meaning the oasis has been swallowed up,”

“there’s…very little of it left,” [name] said under his breath. “it could be saved…but it’d be hard,”

just as he said that, there was a sound of someone digging with a metal shovel. the crew looked over a couple of feet and saw an old man, trying his best too dig a trench, it looked like.

“you travelers must have had a hard journey in the desert. although our oasis has completely dried out, we still have some of the best inns ever! they’re the pride of our town, you see,” he croaked, looking completely exhausted in digging as he spoke. [name] furrowed his eyebrows in concern for the old man.

“we’re here to see the rebel army, are they not located in this town?” [name] asked, although seeing from how desolate the town was, the answer was a given.

what they didn’t expect was for the old man to go on a miniature rampage on them. he began throwing things at him, which [name] slapped away if they got too close to him or vivi.

“those rebel scum!! they abandoned this town long ago,” he informed them after his throwing was finished. vivi looked shocked at the news and a sense of dread was filling the crew’s minds, “they relocated to katorea,”

“huh? katorea? vivi, is that close by?” luffy asked innocently, making [name] smack him on the head. when his captain turned to him in annoyance, [name] only put his finger to his lips and pointed at vivi, his eyes screaming, “you just exposed the princess, dumbass!”

but vivi didn’t even seem to notice the slip up, only answering, “katorea, is a town that was near nanohana…”

“you’re fucking with me, right?” [name] asked, blinking as he processed the information. if they were in nanohana when they first set anchor down in alabsta, that means the rebel army was only a town away from the beginning.

“nanohana? then we wasted our time coming all the way out here,” zoro said gruffly, crossing his arms over his chest.

“oh! i met lashes in katorea,” chopper said in surprise. lashes began to “speak” and chopper translated it. the camel offhandedly said, “i was transporting goods for the rebel army and they were stationed in katorea,”

[name] threateningly began to unsheathe his sword, “you asshole, you didn’t say anything and we were wasting time this entire journey?! i’ll cut you up!! sanji, are you ready to cook camel meat?!”

“more than ready! i’m itching to kill this bastard too!!” sanji shouted, kicking into the camel’s side.

“why didn’t you say anything earlier!?” luffy screamed in frustration.

“whatever,” chopper said, translating for the rest of the crew what exactly the camel said, which only sent them into a bigger fury.

“wait, did you say, vivi? are you princess vivi?” the old man spoke up, walking up the sand trench he was building and reaching for the princess. [name] stepped forward, in between the old man and vivi, not about to take chances with the guy’s intentions.

“slow down there, gramps,” he sad in a warning tone, “so what if she is?”

the sword that was resting on [name]’s hips was very slightly shining in the moonlight, making the old man gulp to ease his nerves.

”vivi-sama, do you remember me?” he asked quickly, seeing how eager [name] was to spill some blood, “i don’t blame you if you don’t, after all, i lost a lot of weight,”

[name] looked at the man, not taking his eyes off of him. suddenly, from behind his protective position, vivi shot out and brought the old man into her arms, “toto-ojisan?!”

“you do remember!”

“huh? who’s that?” luffy and [name] asked in unison.

“long story,” nami said simply, a haze in her eyes as she realized who the man was. her and vivi were exchanging stories while they were riding on the back of lashes and the man in front of them was a pretty pivotal person in vivi's stories.

“vivi-sama, please stop those fools!!” the old man screamed, tears rushing out of his eyes. [name] averted his eyes, feeling ever so slightly bad for intimidating him earlier.

“toto-ojisan, don’t worry. we will stop the rebellion,” vivi assured him, handing him her handkerchief to dry his tears.

the crew decided to take shelter at yuba for the rest of the night. [name] was thankful because it meant they could be shielded from the cold air outside. and just as he was about to get comfortable, he noticed that their captain was missing again.

“huh? [name]? you’re not going to bed?” vivi asked, already comfortable under her blankets near nami.

”i will, i’m just gonna check in with luffy,” [name] said, waving his hand, “he might be caused the old man out there some unneccesary trouble,”

“beat him up if he is,” nami called out over her shoulder casually.

“yes, yes,” [name] said softly, waving his hand. when he made it to the outside trench, he saw the old man throwing sand over his shoulder and working tireslessly.

“aren’t your bones aching, gramps?” [name] asked, announcing his presence to the man.

“not at all, this is normal work for me!” toto said stubbornly.

“where’d the idiot go?”

“oh…he was digging right behind me…”

[name] jumped down into the sand pit and hummed in thought when he saw luffy was sleeping in the hole he had dug. he murmured the word “idiot” under his breath before wordlessly lifting him up out of the hole.

toto watched in confusion as a simple wave of [name]’s hand had the boy’s body lifting off of the ground. in a couple of seconds, luffy was then resting on the sand next to [name]’s feet.

“how did you do that?” toto asked cautiously, looking at the stoic look on [name]’s face.

“i have magical powers,” [name] said childishly, wiggling his fingers around as if he were to cast a spell.

“not funny, young man,” toto said, unimpressed with the behavior coming from [name].

“hm, i’ll get him inside and then i’ll come out and help you look for water,” [name] said, picking luffy up with ease and holding him bridal style, “i think if you moved a little bit more to the left, though, you’ll be able to hit water sooner than you think,”

and with that being his last bit of advice to the old man, he walked back into the inn where everyone else was sleeping. dropping luffy onto a straw bed and covering him with a blanket was easy. he gently took of luffy’s hat, to not ruin it, and placed it close by for him to find in the morning.

when he came back out of the inn, he saw the old man did take his advice and was digging from the surface again.

“you don’t have to help me,” toto said, about to refuse the help, but [name] shook his head. the pirate held his hand out to the old man, urging toto to hand him the shovel.

“let me dig, i can do it better than you anyway,” he joked, enjoying the pissed off look on toto’s face. wordlessly, the old man handed him the shovel and took a seat on the side.

quickly, [name] got to work in finding water. it was deep, very, very, deep, but it was there. and he would hit it before the sun came up if he worked hard and with no breaks.

"has vivi always been so reckless?" [name] curiously asked, looking over his shoulder for a moment.

his company grinned at the question, "yes! she never cared about her status as princess as child and insisted to be friends with even the common folk. she would always get herself into trouble," there was a pause and then the man spoke again in a shaky tone, "but now that she's grown into a young woman - i can't help but worry for her and her safety!"

"well, there's no need to worry anymore ojisan!" [name] grinned, wiping away his sweat, "with the strawhats here vivi won't ever get hurt again. we're gonna help her save this country!"

the man looked at him with furrowed brows, "what makes you so confident? you travellers have just arrived in this country - we have been struggling for years."

"it's cause you guys didn't have us," [name] easily and cockily replied. this made the old man laugh to his heart's content - whether it be from amusement at his confidence or in mockery, [name] didn't know. nor did he need to. he'd keep his end of his promise and protect vivi as she saved this desert country.

toto wanted to stay up and keep [name] some sort of company, but eventually his eyes were beginning to droop in exhaustion. [name] laughed at the sleepy look on toto’s face.

with the motivation of making the man’s day when he woke up, [name] began working even harder.

sweat was dripping from every crevice of his body, his muscles were begging him to stop from how they ached, but he kept his main goal in mind. and when he finally hit some sort of watery sand, he felt himself almost begin to laugh.

he wiped his face, grimacing at the gritty feel of sand on his skin, and pushed his hair aside. his hair, which was usually tied in a neat, small ponytail, was completely unfurled and shadowing his face.

he sighed, continuing to dig to get deeper into the water supply. he pulled out a small cannister that was resting on his hip, collecting water for himself first, and then deciding to go back up for more cannisters to hold the water.

when he finally drained as much water as possible, he left the cannisters to rest near toto. he smiled as the man’s expressions were moving in time with whatever dreams he was having. [name] carried him inside the inn with ease before collapsing onto his own bed, which was near chopper.

he grabbed ahold of the reindeer and kept him close, holding him tight for some sense of warmth. chopper didn’t seem to mind, cuddling closer into [name]’s skin in his sleep.

and despite [name] only catching less than a handful hours of sleep, it was still pleasant.

[ .ᐟ ] DID U GUYS SEE THAT ZORO AND [name] MOMENT??? (zoro flexing his arm around [name] to make sure he was secure, so romantic right guys?!) WOOWWW I THINK THEYRE SO IN LOVE RIGHT NOW WOOWWWWW EVERYONE CHEER (its going to take so long for these two to even remotely progress im fucking DEAD)

ISEKAI YANDERE STRAWHATS X BLACK FEM READER PT 10

Masterlist

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Nami knew she had gotten under Law’s skin, she didn’t even need to look back to know the look he had was priceless. Nami and Robin both knew the boys were crushing hard, even Luffy. She even considered you a girl crush. The lingering stares they all had when you walked by, no matter who it was they couldn’t keep their eyes off of you.

I guess it was because you were so very different in every way. You were an alien to them. A beautiful and charming being that was gifted to them from the man above. You wanting to leave them broke their hearts, you were like their last missing puzzle piece.

Nami sat back down with the minks enjoying the rest of the night while Law decided it was best to make his way to you, you’d been gone for fifteen minutes now.

Zoro had laughed so hard there were now tears in his eyes. You couldn’t help but bite your lip to keep yourself from smirking. Zoro was a sight for sore eyes even though he didn’t acknowledge it.

“ Y/N you always surprise me. That’s why I like you” he said wiping a stray tear from his eye.

“ Well it is the truth… any answer I give you won’t satisfy you or the crew”

“ And why is that?”

“ I don’t think I need anything else unfortunate to happen in my life”

Although his laughed died down he still held a smile to his face making you want to look away. Why is anything amusing in the first place? He’s acting as if he didn’t put you in a choke hold when you first got back to the ship.

“ Y/N… I know you’re angry and you’re trying to hide it. And I’m sorry for what I did to you”

“ Ok, I don’t forgive you”

“ That’s fine, I’ll give you time to forgive me and I’ll do anything for you to feel comfortable around me like you did before…”

He was much closer now, you could feel your heart racing as he towered over you so easily. You wanted to back away but you were stuck in place like the soles of your feet were nailed to the ground.

“ I had something else to say as well..”

“ Hurry up”

“ Trafalgar… you and him-”

“ There is no me and him. Law and I are friends why do all of you keep asking me stupid questions ! ”

He reached out and tilted your face towards him. As he got closer you had to look away— look anywhere else he was even more intimidating to be alone with. He was holding your chin and starring into you like he was searching your eyes for the truth.

“ I though Luffy told you.. you were a bad liar?”

“ I-”

Right then the door opened and you felt like you could breathe again. It was Law and he frowned as he seen the awkward scene in front of him. You walked towards him and grabbed his arm leading him back to your seats of safety.

“ Y/N we were talking”

“ I’m tired of speaking about the same thing Zoro”

Zoro gripped his swords and a vein popped out of his neck. You just walk away from someone when you’re speaking? You just walk away from someone soon as you see Law now?

“ What was he talking about?”

“ Oh you know, about US and trying to ask if I knew I was drugged. The regular ”

He gave you a sad smile, you were clearly upset and they were just adding fire to the fuel. You were too kind and so patient, he could only imagine what this would’ve been like if he hadn’t been here. Your situation remind him of when him and Corazon were together and it just made him more determined to help you.

The rest of the night you both stayed together and you were finally able to relax. You’d be on Zou for another day and a half then you’d be with the Heart Pirates until you got home. With both of your knowledge of how the next arch would go the Strawhats would have to let you go with him.

Why would they send someone like you to Big Mom’s territory? The party went on the rest of the night and Law brought up what Nami told him earlier.

“ Nami said something earlier tonight that really shook me”

You tilted your head waiting for him to continue.

“ She said I should snatch you up before someone else does.. what do you think of that?”

Your cheeks burned again, and you couldn’t help but laugh.

Is this his way of asking me out?

“ So what should we do…”

“ I think… well… what do you want to do actually?”

“ huh… w-well maybe… maybe we should?”

You two were both blushing at this point. You both admired each other greatly. You from watching him on the show and him from getting to know you throughout the time you’ve spent together. Of course, you two were great friends but you’d be liars if you said becoming this close didn’t spark something.

He cleared his throat awkwardly before resuming your awkward conversation. “ I don’t mind it— plus this could also help you”

“ O-of course”

“ So then…”

“ So then ask me out…”

His face was beet red. How could you be so bold? Spending time in this world really made you into a new person, you would’ve never done this to a boy from your world.

“ Y/N will you be my girlfriend?”

What are words? Words aren’t coming out of your mouth. SPEAK Y/N SPEAK !!!

“ Yes. I’ll be your girlfriend Law”

The sun was beginning to rise and you fell asleep in his lap. Law watched your chest rise and fall and a foreign feeling rose in his chest making a lump form in his throat. He’d never taken the time to really be in a relationship with anyone, just like majority of the male characters he was too focused on his goals. But being in one with you— even if it was temporary, felt nice.

Everyone else was passed out on the floor and the fire went out, this would be the perfect time for the two of you to sneak away. He shook you softly till you started to stir and you cracked open your eyes to see the sunrise illuminating his skin.

Oh right… we’re together now.

With that being your first thought you wanted to shy away from him even though you were in his lap. This was a relationship of convenience of course so you didn’t want to make him uncomfortable by starring at him like a love struck puppy.

“ I think we have some time before they wake up to meet with the crew. What do you think?”

You nodded and stood up stretching before walking towards the direction of the camp. The birds were chirping and it seemed to be such a nice morning, as the two of you walked you were making casual conversation and it really felt like the two of you were together.

Just the thought made your brain feel all fuzzy, Trafalgar Law is my boyfriend… how silly would that sound to anyone where I’m from.

“ Luffy ”

“ LUFFY !” The captain woke up confused and startled. Nami was hovering over him angrily shaking him awake.

“ Nami leave me alone we were up all night”

“ Aw really? Well Law and Y/N are missing so I think you should get up” She snarled.

That was definitely something that made him shoot up and almost bump into the angry woman in front of him.

“ Y/N and Traffy… are missing?”

She nodded and pointed to where the two of you sat the entire night. The two of you were gone who knows where and anger bubbled inside of him. That was it, he had enough of you two being so close together. You were lying to him and the crew and he knew you were scheming— this confirmed it.

“ Get the rest of the crew! We are going to find out what exactly is going on with them today”

@mabel7775: I will take advantage that the requests are open. :3 Yandere platonic Luffy x reader. Let's say that Luffy cares and is always attentive to the reader, do you think Hancock would get jealous for all the attention that reader receives from Luffy or would she take advantage and become friends with the reader to get closer to Luffy? Possibly Hancock becoming a yandere as well to reader since she makes Luffy happy and imagining it as if they finally have a family with him.

Okay now I absolutely adore this idea!! I’m gonna give you a few headcanons and if you want I’ll make a story about it 😉

So for one yes luffy will be all over his love even if it’s platonic! He views them as his special friend that’s just…different from all of his others. He’ll want lots of hugs and attention! He also has a habit of accidentally guilt tripping them into hanging out with them!

-“You don’t wanna hang out?…oh you’re going with them aren’t you?…well that’s okay you just remind me of ace I guess and ever since he died well ya’know….but it’s okay I guess…!

Yep! That’s yandere platonic luffy for ya! He always tries to bring up Ace’s death to make them feel bad and give in eventually ..he doesn’t do it on purpose though! He just wants them to hang out with him….

All the time.

And nobody else include because your HIS friend.

He always ether has an arm around them when their sitting as he’s laughing and cracking jokes with the others or just being silly to try to make you smile! He’s basically clinging onto them every step of the way on

Now moving onto the Hancock situation! We all know our snake empress can be a bit….protective of luffy at times! So of course she would be livid that he was giving them all of his attention!

-Luffy-dear!! Who is this tramp?!?! They surely are no match for me!! But since you think you deserve his affection let us battle for his love !!

Now over time it would be very obvious that Luffy very much cared for them, and no one could change that!

Unless they just want to try and get their asses kicked.

So Hancock would have no other choice but to..tolerate them. Though she wouldn’t be the nicest overtime she would start to see why Luffy liked them so much! So she would get closer to them! Being their friend and ally slowly and slowly..getting closer..

And eventually falling deep in obsession love!! Basically acting as she does with luffy, protecting them at all cost just like luffy! She would all over them all the time.

She would eventually start to form the idea of getting married to the both of them and having a big happy family! And who are they to refuse..? With a warlord and the future pirate king obsessing over them…?

I don’t think their gonna be able to leave any time soon.

I really hope you like this!! I know it was a bit short but I tried my best 😅🫶🏼💕 I really like these head canons a lot and I might redo it to make it even better!

But also I’m writing a new story! It’s very interesting and a yandere one piece! I just need some opinions if I should do Luffy, a different straw hat or another character in general or all of the straw hats! Please let me know and of course “growing up a little too fast!” part 2 is still being made!!

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

“What?!”

As planned, after your mother blocked your plans that were supposed to occur the previous day, you were sitting in front of the goth girl at a table in the autumn outdoors. You informed Perona about your “date” yesterday with the raven boy and she was shocked, to say the least. Her shrieked voice alerted pedestrians nearby walking by the cafe. You quickly looked around your surroundings, that was nothing but piercing eyes, and glared at the pink-haired girl.

“Shh, shh!” You placed frantic hands in front of her. “Keep your voice down” You tried to cover your embarrassment with a giggle. Perona slouched her body as you reminded her of her peaking volume.

It was a rather sunny Sunday morning if we were ignoring the natural autumn weather that forced you to wear a knitted, brown sweater to protect you from shivering. Perona was stoked to see you called her to hang out like she offered that week during school. She hadn’t expected to hear about a date you shared with a certain boy that most people ignored or resented.

“You were basically on a date with Trafalgar” Perona reworded your story in a language she understood. Your cheeks grew vibrant and warm. Her remark quickly made you shake your head in objection.

You never considered yesterday a date, not at all. The thought of it made your stomach churn and your heart flutter. Despite your realization on the floor by your door, you couldn’t call that a date… could you?

“It wasn’t a date, Perona” You took a sip of your refresher while you avoided eye contact with the goth girl, who now had a smug smile plastered along her pale face. Her expression was a direct reason why you avoided eye contact.

“You two spent your entire first half together alone” Perona retraced. “And you’re telling me that wasn’t a date?” Perona rhetorically asked. You shrugged like none of it meant a single thing.

“I don’t even think he’d consider it a date” Your hand swirled your crisp beverage in a circle as a way of fidgeting with it. Perona let out a dramatic groan, followed by a slouch in her chair. You soon realized that you were raining on her party made by her own imagination. It was quite amusing to you.

“Okay,” After Perona saw your unfazed expression react to her more dramatic one, she jolted back up to sit straight. “Did you enjoy it?” She abruptly asked.

You paused for a moment to make sure you could give the girl an honest answer. You did enjoy it—every second, in fact. You secretly wished that your mother gave you a mile-long list if it meant you’d stay with Law a little longer, or if his little duo hadn’t called him to disrupt the conversation you shared back at your home. You shrugged sheepishly.

“I guess I did, yeah” You tried forcing back a smile but your body was a lot stronger than you were. Perona giggled like a little girl in a candy store upon watching your smile form. Now, you were feeding into her little imagination with that single smile.

“So you like him!”

Her words pierced through your body like a harpoon. It was fine coming from your own head but someone else? You felt so bare and exposed, as well as even more pressured about your feelings. You had the sudden feeling that if you tried to say no, you’d feel like you were lying to yourself. That sole fact completely threw you overboard. But what if you said yes? That same ‘you’d be lying’ feeling was more tame towards an agreement than a disagreement. Now, your brain was scrambled.

“It’s too soon, Perona” Was the only thing you could think of replying with. The fact you didn’t agree or disagree caused even more of a rise from Perona and her delusions.

“Not a no~” She sang, sipping innocently at her drink. You had that embarrassed, exposed feeling creep on you once again. Your emotions were clear as day to Perona.

“I don’t really know where my feelings are…” You admitted the only honest answer you’ve given the girl in front of this entire conversation.

“(F/N), let me work my magic” Those words petrified you to your core. The fact you didn’t know what Perona was about to deviously do is what mainly terrified you. You exhaled and rubbed your temple.

“Is she your girlfriend now?”

Law was sitting on his noir couch, regretting any and all life decisions that lured him to this point, being bombarded and sandwiched by the redhead and the brunette wearing animalistic hats.

“No, Shachi, she’s a friend” Law reminded, seemingly for the billionth time.

Law didn’t hear the end of it between the two, mainly the rowdy Shachi, since he walked back home from your residence yesterday. Law wondered why he even told the two boys in the first place knowing this is how they’d react. Law could only blame himself.

“A friend you share coffee with and defend… TWICE!” Penguin said from the other side of Law. Penguin’s rebuttal caused a hearty laugh to come from Shachi. His laugh almost made Law throw him out the window next to them.

Trafalgar did enjoy talking about you, even through it was the very thing that brought him in a conversation he regretted. The way you took up his mind so easily baffled him, and he wanted to know why he was so interested in you—not quite fond of romantic feelings.

“Do you think she’s/he’s hot?”

"What!? No! I mean... Well-"

You stammered. Your flustered reaction was pure entertainment to the goth girl, making her pitchy laugh ring in your ears. All you could do was groan and cover your now vibrant cheeks. Those same cheeks replied with an answer to the previous question; ‘hell yeah’

“You do, (F/N)” She assumed, which wasn’t entirely off. Perona inhaled sharply as her little brain flashed an important question to ask you she seemingly disregarded.

“Oh, oh! Does he have a girlfriend?”

Her statement brought you back to Ace’s house from a previous conversation. That time you practically stalked his social to oddly make sure he wasn’t spoken for flashed before your eyes. The sudden memory reminded you of your creepy behavior, causing you to internally cringe.

“I don’t think so”

“Then what are you waiting for!”

"He/She probably doesn't see me that way!"

Law’s tanned face was pigmented similarly to your own. Shachi now had his body limp on the back of the couch, laughing at his friend's face. Penguin sat on the opposite end of the comfortable couch watching this whole thing escalate to his entertainment. It wasn’t every day that his quiet, nonchalant brethren were flustered—especially about someone in particular. Penguin wanted to savor every second of this.

“Wait, is she that chick you said that’d be visiting us at practice this week?” Shachi asked. Law paused, contemplating on whether or not he should save himself the embarrassment of saying yes—but he couldn’t lie about you.

It didn’t take another second for them to guess the words that were hibernating in throat. It only took Law a look away of embarrassment for them to expose him.

"She definitely is," They said simultaneously, followed by synchronized fits of laughter.

“I hate both of you…” Law grumbled. He immediately stood up from his once comfortable positioning and pondered on what he could do to shut them up or flee from the vast amount of embarrassment overstimulating him.

“Serious question, boss” Penguin spoke. Law hummed, turning his head towards the brunette. Granted, he had a face Law wanted to punt so Penguin had to choose his words wisely.

“Do you genuinely like her? We won’t laugh” Penguin tried reassuring. His expression backed up his promise while Shachi’s objected. Penguin quickly whacked his head to knock some sense into him. All Penguin heard was a soft ‘owww…’ in return.

“I suppose I do… I don’t know…”

“Do you get that bubbly feeling in your tummy whenever he speaks to you a certain way?”

"Yeah..."

"Do you feel like you always want to be around her?"

“Sometimes…”

“Does he accumulate your head all the time?”

“Unfortunately”

"Do you smile like a moron for no reason by her presence"

“Shut up…”

"You like her/him!”

The two of you felt like you had the wind knocked out by the punch of three simple words. The people beckoning about your feelings had an internal checklist with, now, every box checked. The proof was buried in the pudding. You two shared a deep state of denial, but hearing it from another voice felt like you both snapped back to reality.

Law fled the scene out of the overbearingly large amount of embarrassment. You shielded your face from the giggling Perona. Neither of you could bare the deep state of embarrassment you were tucked away in.

“Look, (F/N), I’m just stating the obvious fact” Perona relaxed her giggles. Your eyes peeked through your fingers with furrowed brows. “But you don’t have to say anything. Take your time” Perona reached her slim body over the table to grasp your hands, holding each palm in her own to comfort you.

“Love is a wonderful thing…”

Those words echoed in your head like a broken record. During dinner, your brain was so accumulated by Perona’s words that you hadn’t realized you were menacingly staring at a bowl of steaming beef stew. Your hand that held the steel fork gently just spoked the chunks of protein while you were in your odd trance—not even words phased you. That was, until, a flying piece of a carrot made direct contact with your face.

“Ace!” The blonde beside scolded him. The brunette cackled in laughter as he saw your jolted reaction. You glared at him, eyes ready to kill, and dusted off the vegetables off your dress.

You sat at the long dinner table. Your mother arranged for the three bothers and their care taker to have dinner on this Sunday night, mainly out of sympathy for Ace’s house arrest sentence. You were happy to see Ace again that wasn’t involving you sneaking into his home without anyone noticing.

“I swear that kid is going to make pop a blood vessel” The elder man grumbled while he feasted at your mother's lovingly delicious cooking.

“Why’d you throw that, moron?” You hissed. You received a bloodshot stare from your mom. Her evil stare made you relax your hot-heated nature into the cushioned chair.

“Maybe if you ate your dinner like everyone else, Ace wouldn’t have to throw his dinner at you” Your mother gestured her words with her fork. You panned your eyes from her to Ace, who now had the smuggest grin to ever be created by her words.

“Am I your daughter or is he your son, now” You grumbled.

Sabo sighed until he had to slap the hungry boy you called Luffy’s hand away from feasting on his own plate. Luffy’s bowl was cleaned empty, you’d think your mother gave him a regular empty bowl instead.

Due to your flooded mind, your appetite wasn’t what you thought it’d be. You never would’ve believed a boy could make you feel this way. You were always eager to eat your mother's cooking, which was made with nothing but love as the secret ingredient.

“Luffy, I’m full. You can have my plate” You said lowly. Luffy formed a bright, pearly smile when he heard that sentence. He grabbed his grubby hands on your bowl to zip it away from you.

You only offered the meal to the boy because you knew there would be leftovers later to eventually cure your hunger. And, also, to have him leave poor Sabo alone so he could finish his plate. Sabo smiled sweetly at you, knowing exactly what you did. His smile made your stomach settle little by little. Your mother established strict rules by not having devices at the dinner table, unfortunately, so you just smile and nodded blindly at the trio’s conversation. You felt bad but you also wanted to throw your brain out the window for not shutting up.

Dinner was finally over and the brothers were gathering everything to depart. You dully stood by your mother while she kept small talk with Garp and while the trio was slipping on their jackets. Ace made direct eye contact with you for a split moment. This time was different, though. Usually Ace would tease you silently to get a rise out of you, but this was the total opposite. His brows were furrowed inward. Ace gave a quick look up at Garp and his two brothers, that were suffocated in their own conversations.

“I left my jacket somewhere upstairs” You heard Ace say. You didn’t necessarily care but with a shove by your mother's hand, you were gestured to show Ace upstairs so he’s not wandering around like an idiot.

But there was no jacket. It was blatantly obvious. When Ace pulled you to the steps where you could now hear the muffled conversations downstairs, you clicked, for the first time tonight. You snapped your head to the freckled brunette.

“Wait, you don’t wear jackets”

You pointed it out. Your remark made Ace chuckle. As soon he eyed your body jerk in the other direction with an annoyed scoff to go with it, Ace had a firm grip on your shoulder. He didn’t hesitate to pull you into your own room, which was dark and the only light source illuminating the area were nearby street lights. You looked up at Ace, surprised to see that joking, smug grin completely absent. A rare expression was lingering on his face instead. Concern and worry. As you two gazed at each other, you felt a shiver run down your spine.

“Spit it out, what’s wrong?” He abruptly asked. Ace heard you gulp, knowing that he just exposed you bare. You flickered your eyes left and right, contemplating if you should tell him about everything. You worried he’d laugh, but considering his serious expression and how worrisome he was about this damaging you, that probability was running slim.

“I think I have feelings for someone” You murmured under your breath, but enough for the freckled boy to hear you clear as ever. He paused for a moment. Ace didn’t know he should comfort you like a brotherly friend should or call you dumb for letting these ridiculous feelings ruin dinner.

“What’s wrong with that?” Ace settled somewhere in the middle of his own internal argument.

“I don’t think I should”

Law was a controversial pick in the school. You started to realize that especially when you started hanging around him. Granted, your reply is deemed ironic based on what you told the man face-to-face yesterday, but it was more like a platonic statement. Now, you realized you may have caught feelings for someone, a minor criminal at that. You kept wondering what other illegal antics Law pulled if he was brave enough to steal for you in two different establishments. It all brought you to one thing; What if he’s not good for me?

“It’s Law, isn’t it?” Ace snapped you out of your thoughts. You widened your eyes before him out of his spot-on, out-of-the-blue prediction. Ace formed a smile.

“Yeah…” You rubbed the side of your shoulder. The thought of the infamous man himself made you crack a sheepish smile.

“Ace! (F/N)! Did you find it!?” Your mother called from below, shutting your conversation in half. Ace sighed, quickly grabbing ahold of your shoulders to face him directly.

“If you feel like you do, I don’t see the harm in that. He is different, but he’s not a monster. Just use that smart brain of yours, and trust your heart (F/N)” Ace smiled. His hand detached from your arm and went to ruffle your well-kept hair, causing a small giggle out of you. “Catching feelings for someone isn’t a crime, dummy”

You saw Ace brush past your stilled figure to run back downstairs to his family and your parent. You finally collected your thoughts, for the first time. You came to the realization that you do like Law and the fact you weren’t trying to deny it or overthink it made a heavy weight on your shoulders turn into a lightweight cloud. You cracked another smile. ‘What would I do without you, Ace?’

12:23 AM - Law’s devilish duo, as he would like to call it, left after ordering takeout and watching movies with the raven boy to compensate for the embarrassment they inflicted upon him. Now with a full mind, as well as a stomach, Law thought of one only thing to help him with his thoughts before some shut-eye; his guitar.

Law sat up at his bedframe, his leg propped up, while he held his guitar in hand. He twisted the knobs up top to make sure the tuning was just right. Law had his pick in between his teeth while his other hand would strum the strings, demoing the sounds until it was to his liking. Law dropped the piece of plastic into his inked fingers and stared down at his lovable instrument. He didn’t know exactly what to play. His hands began to move on his own until he caught onto a melody that’ll suffice

His room was now filled with his exceptional musical talents. He added his equally good vocals to spice it up, and also it was quite it was therapeutic.

˗ˏˋ song choice: hesitating - malcom todd ´ˎ˗

Wait, now I do I want you more, girl oh my god

Wrongfully hesitating I swear I would never wait

It’s just hard for me everyday when I don’t know your thoughts

Cause you never told me while she was my one and only

I want it all

He began a slight instrumental in his fingers after the intro, which was chronologically the ending of the actual song. He bopped his head when his fingers rapidly hit the notes. He hummed the last few vocals of the song, that is, until, his phone disrupted his free therapy session.

As Law separated his hand from the neck of the guitar, it made a slight hiccup from his music. His hand wrapped around the device, which also was suffocating in his blankets, and his eyes grew. He expected an annoying image of either Shachi or Penguin, mainly the redhead, but not you. He could’ve sworn he thought he was dreaming.

(F/N) - 12:30 A.M

hey are you awake? I cant sleep

He didn’t expect your first text to be an infamous ‘you up?’ text but here we are. His heart felt like it was about to canon ball out of his chest from the sheer amount of nerves. Your timing couldn’t have been more perfect, yet ironic. Law thought he manifested your sudden sprout.

Law - 12:31 A.M

wide cant sleep either

Is all he could reply. You read the text and weren’t shocked a single moment that Trafalgar Law was, in fact, a dry texter. But then again, you didn’t even know why you messaged him in the first place. As said, you struggled to drift to sleep but you still wondered why you even chose Law as a contact. You figured it was because of the way he lingered in your head rent-free. You snapped out of it once you eye the three dots on the lower-hand screen.

Law - 12:32 A.M

you expect me to entertain you?

‘Of course, he’s being a dick’ You grumbled internally.

(F/N) - 12:32 A.M

well, i did text you no? entertain me

Law - 12:32 A.M

im not a jester

(F/N) - 12:32 A.M

now you are cmon im dying here

Law - 12:33 A.M

y’know what be there in 10, be ready or im just gonna leave

You never knew a single text could make you sit up so fast, but here you are. You reread it several times before you realized your little crush was now getting ready to pull up to your midnight, quiet home to pick you up. Something about the full moon and its magical light poking through your window made all your common sense fizzle away.

Your mother was sound asleep so her suspicion wouldn’t rise if her awake ears heard you rustle around in your room to get dressed. Considering it was the middle of the night, you wore simple leggings, a matching shirt, and a warm cardigan to protect you. Considering this would be your first time sneaking outdoors, you found yourself wondering how you’ll be able to execute this efficiently. You then trailed your innocent eyes to your beaming window.

“Bingo…”

Your window was wide enough for an average-sized body to slip through, and plant their feet on the ground since it was conveniently placed above ground. You inhaled deeply, mentally preparing for the most irresponsible average teenager antic you’ve ever done. You procrastinated on doing anything just yet until your bad influence of a friend pulled up to your dark residence first.

Those painfully long minutes of sitting on your bed, head in your hands, wrecked you and you finally came to your senses, but you missed him. Now that there’s an opportunity to hang around him once again, it made the small devil on your shoulder overshadow the sweet little angel. The theory of you two being together, alone made you break a sweat.

“Maybe I shouln-“

As you murmured your sudden change of plans, beams began to faintly greet you by your window that wasn’t the pearly full moon. Before you could avert your attention to the light’s source, your phone signaled for your attention. You immediately knew who it’d be, it didn’t take rocket science considering the lights beaming behind you. A cold sweat beaded on your forehead.

Law - 12:45 A.M

here

The text made your stomach drop. Of course, he had to show up right when you were about to change your decision around. You had already thought of an excuse to tell him. ‘Hey actually my mom’s awake and would kill me’ but his timing was precise. The guilt wasn’t strong enough to keep you back though. Your urge to see the raven boy was oddly stronger, so you already found yourself sliding out the window of your bedroom.

You repeated in your head while you approached the sleek black car, that blended into the midnight, mysterious atmosphere, to make sure you arrive home before your slumbering mother notices your disappearance. You saw Law on the driver's side through the window in front. He looked captivated in his device below him, and the light beamed on his features. He didn’t notice your approach until you grazed against the mouth of the car in front.

“You actually came out”

Law greeted you with that grin you were all too familiar with. The moment you laid upon his face, you fell into a dangerous trance. Those circles around his eyes. His summer-tanned skin. His glistening gold earrings. And most of all, those steel mesmerizing eyes. All of it had you glued to his features, feeling as if you dared to look away you’d be deprived of him. It felt as if now that you came to your senses, he looked better than before and you can clearly feel what you were feeling about the man himself.

You adjusted in the passenger seat without a word, not really knowing what to say without fumbling with your words. You just wanted Law to hurry on and pull out the driveway before those beaming lights would be the very thing to ruin this whole night as a whole. With a chuckle and a careless drop of his phone into the empty cupholder, he gripped his inked hands around the leather wheel to pull his vehicle away from your slumbering house. Without him noticing from his unbreakable attention on the road ahead, you gazed at his side profile and how he effortlessly drove down the road. Compared to you, Law slouched in his seat and a single hand steered his car ahead. His remaining hand held his head by the window ceil. The stance was doing something to you.

“Where are we headed?” You cut through the silence like a knife.

You disrupted your own gaze to avoid Law turning to see a stare and avoid the awkwardness that’d accompany it. Law grew a half smile and used his free hand to rub his chin. He gave you a quick glance.

“Not quite sure”

His response made your heart drop a few meters. You wouldn’t have hopped into his mysterious vehicle if he wasn’t sure where he’d take you. He noticed you felt uneasy and exhaled.

“I’m not gonna take you somewhere that's dangerous, (F/N)-ya. Just somewhere for us to relax”

Law reassured. His efforts weren’t very effective, arguably worse than Ace, but your nerves relaxed little by little. You hummed as you understood his statement and watched the buildings and neighboring cars zip by Law’s car. All that accumulated in your conscience was what you’d even do with the boy that was driving. You hadn’t expected to spend more alone time with him so coincidentally soon, and the realization you officially spent your entire weekend with the boy made your heart flutter. Surely, Law planned on having a good time with you if he was willing to be an accomplice for your sneaking out—something you never thought of doing.

You realized Law was pulling into a rather quiet parking lot of a park, that was quiet and lifeless from the dark hour. Law collapsed in his seat, hands parting from the wheel. He rolled his head towards you, which had quite a puzzled face. You didn’t expect such a secluded place.

“I wasn’t lying when I said I didn’t know where to go” He spoke. His voice soothed your body so much, the care of getting caught vanished from your mind.

Law couldn’t lie and say he wasn’t nervous to be this private with you, which is the sole reason why he didn’t know where to take you. The process of his getting ready to scoop you into his car was nerve-racking for him, but he only kept moving for the single chance of seeing you again. Now that he was alone, with you and the glistening moon above, it made his heart thump several beats.

“So I guess we’ll be each other's company for a while” You exhale. Your back extended and landed your palms on the cushioned seats behind you. Law watched you slither your body on the back seat, tucking your knees to your chest once you finally adjusted. He watched in silence.

“You gonna join me or what?”

Your sarcasm made Law’s eyes roll, and also his body moves similarly to yours. Law’s posture was vastly different from yours. He man-spreads his legs on the other end of the seat and rested his back against the door. You traced your eyes around the identical tattoos printed on his forearms, that were now crossed. A moment of silence dwelled between you two, which was typical since you two were both nervous and awkward. Law cleared his throat, which made you flinch.

“Is this all you had planned?” He called out. Your face began to grow shades of pink.

“A little, yeah” Your giggle made one form out of Law. You took it upon yourself to rest your back against the door behind you, demonstrating that you were beginning on relaxing your body.

“Did you have fun with your friends after helping me yesterday?” You asked, referencing thing one and thing two. Law let out a small scoff when he came to the realization you were talking about Shachi and Penguin. He traced back to what he thought to be an annoying conversation about no other person but you.

“Absolutely not” He grumbled, which only sprouted another small set of giggles from you.

“Why not?”

“Because all they do is get on my precious nerves”

“So do I, no?”

“Yeah well, you’re different”

His response made you stop and think. You began to crack a smile with teasing eyes. Law immediately caught on, his eyes pointed you like a scope.

“Not like that, they’ll just be far more annoying than you’ll ever be. You’re still annoying”

Law was lying through his teeth. The way you were different compared to the monster duo was the fact he liked your teasing remarks. He personally found them cute and pleasing. You never actually got on Law’s nerves, despite you using the distasteful nickname you knew he hated.

“Do you do tattoos on them too?” You asked, quite randomly. Law raised an eyebrow.

“I mean you share music with them, I assumed you’d do your art thingie too. Y’know…”

You pulled down your cardigan sleeve to show his infamous Jolly Rodger signature you were referencing, which was now, unfortunately, fading away by the day. Law jolted when he caught on.

“Ah, no, I don’t give them free tattoos” Law answered. “Just band is what we share”

“Why don’t you? You’re really good at it, make a profit”

“My art is kind of sacred to me”

He coldly replied, but it didn’t make quite a lot of sense to you. Law printed his own signature on your body but called his art too sacred to share. You began to wonder if his reasoning for you being different was the entire truth.

“Why?” That is all you could ask. Law peeled his eyes off of you and to his printed fingers and hands.

“I thought I told you back in the music room, (F/N)-ya” Law reminded. His tone began to grow low and painful, that being the reason a cold shiver went through your body.

“You did, but it was so vague” You reminded. You didn’t know why so much confidence was coursing through your veins, but it’d be the exact thing to get answers out of the raven boy.

“If Im going to be in the back seat of a guy's car in the middle of the night, I’d like to know more about him” You formed a smile to ease up the tension. Law looked up at you, his head still facing downward.

“You have a point, I hate to admit it” He averted his eyes once again.

“My signature came from a man I will forever hold in my heart. He’s not really here anymore, though. So I sort of keep it to myself”

Law explained. Your heart stung when you wrapped your head around the fact that said person wasn’t around. You couldn’t bare the mere thought of losing someone close to you for good. That grief, which is just passionate love with nowhere to nestle to. You grabbed Law’s printed hand out of pure instinct. It was cold, but your opposite body warmth was defrosting his palm by the second. Law jolted his head to you by your touch.

“You’re an amazing artist, Trafalgar. I’m sure whoever it was would be incredibly proud of what you’re doing. I promise” Your soft, loving tone wrapped around Law’s body like a weighted blanket. You eyed the tint covering his cheeks, and you couldn’t help but crack a small smile. You felt his thumb rub against your hand that was now cuddling his own. The way you said his actual name did something to him. ‘Trafalgar…’ Those urges he felt the previous day began to grow stronger.

You found yourself captivated by Law’s steel eyes. The silence only grew by the second but it wasn’t filled with awkwardness or overbearingly powerful nerves. It was filled with passion, preferably instead.

“I personally love the little drawing. It now makes me feel special…”

Those words were the very thing that made Law break the shackles barred at his ankles, because of the truth coming off of your last words. You felt a hand grope your cheek to precisely meet your lips against his. You yelped while he let out a grunt now that he was finally able to feel your lips against his. It felt so terribly wrong, but so blissfully right to you the moment your lips danced with his, but it wasn’t long until Law came to his senses. Cold wind slapped your lips once the warm ones separated from yours abruptly.

“I am-… So sorry. I have absolutely no idea what came over me-“

“Law?”

That same tone you had when you said his name a second time made the flustered boy sure you had put on some sort of devious spell on him. He was ready to crash his lips on yours once again—not expecting you to do it first.

After Law hummed to your voice, he felt your lips match with his. He couldn’t part away again, not with the way you basically agreed with his behavior. He put a hand behind your neck and one by the hook of your back. You didn’t have ‘make out with the lonesome boy in school in the back seat of his car at night’ on your bucket list this year but yet here you are.

You two finally parted lips to gaze into each other's eyes. They were both filled with delight and bliss by the short connection of lips. You never knew how badly you needed something in your life but you wouldn’t complain a second.

“Isn’t it obvious that I like you?” Law breathed. His now transparent flustered demeanor slipped through in comparison to the more cocky one you were used to. You giggled.

“Isn’t it obvious that I do too, Traffy”

“Hurry up and kiss me again to forget you ever called me that”

Your fit of giggling flooded the kiss you gave Law on his lips. You two, now completely cleansed of confusion and self-sabotage and now drenched in lovesick bliss, spent the next few moments kissing, giggling, and cuddling in that very backseat. Law never expected his own car to have such massive amounts of happiness laughs and romantic gestures, but he wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Truly, a happy start to his shambled life.

“I still hate you, though”

“Shut up and kiss me”

Nico Robin x reader: can't ever compare

Warning(s): angst, another unrequited fic(I love this troupe)

Loves weird.

The conclusion Robin came up with growing up that stuck in adulthood is that love is weird and cruel in its own ways. She's seen from the people she's traveled with- encountered that love ends terribly for most people.

As well as end wonderfully.

Robin didn't ever think she'd feel that - be in love with anyone in such a way. Until she met you. A member of the crew who joined before her. Who stayed close to her to try and make her as comfortable as possible. The only one who stayed in the library with her to read with her. Smiling fondly at the memories you both held there. How she would read you books, and you'd fall asleep on her half way through- surprisingly never upset or uncomfortable. Knowing what she knows now maybe that was a sign.

Robin is smart. The smartest one in the whole crew, but how could someone know the exact feeling they held for another if they never felt it before. She never knew why she felt sad without you near her. How empty the library was when you weren't there beside her. Robin couldn't figure out why she got so uncomfortable when someone flirted with you- she guessed it was cause you're her best friend. Nami would snicker at the comments she'd make about the person like she knew something

Once she realized the thing she felt for you was love. She stayed by yourside more- helped out more. Did whatever she could to catch your attention- cause love makes you do things you wouldn't normally do before. Before Robin wouldn't care if anyone paid attention to what she could do so long as they wouldn't leave her. But this time- she wanted you to see what she could do. See how well she can do it- deep down, she guesses this part stems from her fear of being abandoned yet again. She feared if you left it would hurt much worse.

She knew you'd never do such a thing. You helped her comforted her when she dreamt of that place-

Robin held your shirt in a tight hold, curling into you- sobbing uncontrollably. Rubbing her back gently as she buried her face into your neck "please-" her voice slurred- hoarse from her cries. "Please don't leave me." Rocking her back and forth on the bed gently she kept mumbling the word 'please' over and over again

"I won't leave you, Robin. Not now, not ever." You whispered in her hair. Your heart breaking from the noise of relief Robin made once you said that. How she relaxed more in your arms before she finally fell asleep.

Robin knew you'd come back if you had no choice but to leave. Like now when Luffy wanted you to come with to some island. Saying he wanted to introduce you to a friend of his- when anyone asked, Luffy just smiled and said "Its a surpise!"

The weeks you were gone were torture. Robin felt weird being anywhere on the Sunny. In the little library, they had felt empty without you there - like something or someone was missing. Nami took to teasing her every now and again, reminding her, "They'll be back soon- don't worry," and grin amused when Robin would look towards the door to the kitchen. Like she's expecting you to push through the door

When you finally came back- you weren't alone. You and Luffy were with someone new. Nami looked at her in almost a pity look- Robin cleared her throat and introduced herself.

Weeks turned into months. Robin grew worried - the pit in her stomach growing at an unnerving feeling. Were you even coming back? She shook that thought away as soon as it came. You would come back. You promised her. You promised you wouldn't leave her - sure maybe you didn't mean it in the way she wanted, but she happy to play the best friend anytime.

Robin hummed as she put her book down- looking out the small window in her room. Maybe she does have a chance? Maybe if she tells you whenever you come back how she feels. How she really feels. Maybe. Just maybe you'll feel the same

Robin's not blind. She knows that look in your eyes- she knows all too well. It's the same look she gives you. The lovestruck look. The heartache was worse than knowing it was a possibility. Possible you may love her back. But when you look at her that way?

How could Robin compare to Boa Hancock? The one everyone wants? The most gorgeous woman ever. It's no wonder she caught your attention- even though it wasn't the only thing that really caught you. It was everything about her. The way you talked about her- how kind she is to you- how funny she is.

She always bit back her words, "What's so great about her?" In jealousy. How can she be jealous? She never had a chance in the first place. You never loved her anyway - not the way she loves you at least.

She'll keep her feelings down. Keep them hidden. Robin rather you in her life then actually lose you cause this isn't your fault. This isn't her fault either.

No one can control who they love, not matter how much they'll try.

She just wants you to be happy. Even if it's not with her

The lost Princess of the ocean book two part one.

Masterlist

A continuation of book one. A Zoro X reader story.

You have been kidnapped by the White Shadow Assassins - the men who tortured you as a child. Zoro, Luffy and the crew of the Going Merry will stop at nothing to bring you back.

“All hands on deck for the cast off ceremony!” Luffy calls out excitedly and runs down to meet Sanji at the barrel. Slowly you all walk up and stand around it.

Sanji starts first lifting his foot up onto the barrel, his hands still firmly in his pockets.

“I'm gonna find the All Blue.”

“I'm gonna be King of the Pirates.” Luffy takes his turn.

“I'm gonna be the world's greatest swordsman.” Zoro announced.

“I'm gonna draw a map of the world.” Nami smiles.

“I.. am gonna become a brave warrior of the sea!” Usopp decides.

You take a breath and lift your foot.

“Until I find my dream, I'll make sure yours all come true.” they all smile at you.

“This is it, crew. The Grand Line. Nothing's gonna stand in our way! Yeah! Whoo!” Luffy screams out and you all laugh happily.

****👒⚔️🗺️🔪👑🎪*****

Heat, heat and pain is all you could focus on. Your mind could not grasp anything else happening around you. Your eyes had blurred hours ago. Sweat that ran down your face mixing with the fresh blood.

A hand grasped your chin lifting your face upward and you felt a face close to yours.

“Did you really think you would get away? That we wouldn't find you? Task tsk tsk, there is nowhere for you to hide, little princess.” The voice growled into your ear. “Perhaps this brand will keep you from attempting this again. A little reminder of who you belong to.”

“Dalton, I'm sorry.” You whisper the words, unable to muster your voice.

“Oh, they gave you your voice back I see. Well we can soon cut that out once more. Princesses can't talk without a tongue.” He laughs.

“No, no, keep the tongue, I always liked the tongue” another male voice called from somewhere behind you. Dalton laughed along with several other people.

“Don't be fooled, little princess, your new friends will never find you, and then they will forget all about you.” His words cut as deep as any blade could have. You knew he was right. Even if they did look for you, no one has ever found the assassins. Taking in short breaths you try to ignore the pain radiating from your forearm.

“Has he spoken yet? Come out of his room anything?” Usopp asked Nami, she shook her head.

“He just sits in her cabin.” She replied.

Sanji slid into a chair, “I tried making him chocolate rice balls, he looked at me but he didn't eat them.”

“It's been almost a week, we have no trail and no way of finding y/n.” Nami dropped her head onto her arms, resting on the table.

“How do we even start looking for her?” Usopp asked the room.

“I have an idea!” Luffy came bounding into the room. “We have to go to the Scented Lagoon.” he announced it like it was the obvious solution. The others looked at him with wide eyes.

“Are you insane? We wouldn't even get past the sea lock!” Sanji grabbed his favourite knife and started cutting up fish.

“What are you doing?” Nami asked him.

“I cook when I'm angry.” He grunted.

“Hang on, what's Scented Lagoon?” Usopp flicked his eyes between the three of them.

“It's a really dangerous place. Where devils roam the streets.” Sanji spat out, waving his knife around.

“That's superstition,” Nami corrects him, “but it is a mermaid home. Like hundreds of them all waiting for fresh blood to wander in and be eaten for dinner.” She scowled at Luffy as she spoke.

“Listen, I think I might be able to get us in there. Shanks told me once that mermaids love trinkets and jewels.”

“Okay. We don't have any of those.” Usopp says.

“We do, well Y/n does. She showed me, in the things Kaya gave her there were necklaces and rings and tiaras.” Luffy explained.

Usopp threw his hands up, shaking them. “Hold up, we aren't just going to throw away Maya's things.”

“No, Usopp, if he's right, Kaya wouldn't mind. You know her, she would want us to save y/n.” Nami put her hand on Usopp's in an attempt to reassure him. Usopp let out a sigh and nodded in agreement.

“How do we get there?” He asks.

Everyone looks at Nami and she rolls her eyes. They all follow her to the map room.

“Okay, we are here, the Lagoon is here, it's a four day trip but this ship is fast, if the weather is on our side we might make good time.” She explained it to them.

“Excellent I knew I could trust you guys. Good plan crew!” Luffy clapped Usopp and Sanji on their shoulders.

“Hey, Luffy, do you think you could talk to Zoro” Nami asked.

“Why? Is he sick? Does his wound hurt?” Luffy narrowed his eyes on her.

“No, Luffy, he isn't sleeping, talking, eating!” She explained. Luffy's eyes almost dropped from his eyes.

“He isn't eating?! Well that's no good for anyone.” The captain pushed his straw hat tighter on his head and marched down to your cabin where Zoro was sitting in the corner. His sword rested over his knees and ran a rag over the blade.

“Hi Zoro. I brought you some food. Nami said you aren't eating and that's no good. You need to eat.” He said, plonking a plate of rice balls beside his friend.

“I cannot, I must repent.” Zoro spoke in a low voice.

“For what?”

“I let this happen, I told y/n I would protect her and then I just let her be taken.”

“I've heard about mermaids before, I don't think even if all of us had been there that we could have stopped her.” Luffy admitted.

Zoro looked at him, his eyes held none of the mischief they once had.

“I guess I don't understand why you're so upset. We'll find her, you know? We have a plan!"

Saw your post! (Hope you will get better soon) How do you feel about Nami and Usopp? I really like their general relationship, a bit "sibling like" and "we're the only sane people around". How do you feel about them ( plus Chopper) being called the "weak trio" or "coward trio" in comparison to the 'monster trio' ? (Personally idk, i don't really mind but the "pure strenght" fighting ability is not really my focus with OP chaacters) And about their dynamics in general?

Hello Dear friend O’Mine! Your question interests me and has left me puzzled for the last few days because there’s just so much to discuss! I have decided to start at the beginning and work our way that way! Then we’ll talk about the groups themselves.

In the beginning, there was light…more specifically the fires of the war that Nami and Nojiko were saved from (I’m starting with Nami cause she’s older). Nami’s story is about trust and determination. She’s the child of a hardy ex-marine who taught her grit, but was unable to stop her nasty habit of pickpocketing (would have probably gotten the chance without the lead between her eyes). The result means she ended up with half of a childhood lesson and a half taught out of habit…leaving her with stealing and trickery but only from people who deserve it…like dirty pirates for example. Nami’s a spit fire greedy asshole who takes advantage of her charm to get what she wants while still having a kind of moral compass (it doesn’t work great but…it works about as well as any of the strawhat’s does).

Usopp on the other hand was a momma boy (I assume). No grand story of misery, just a kid who wanted to make his mom feel a little bit better as she slowly died of some unknown illness. He’s never been good at coning people or tricking them or anything like that…nor was he seemingly taught any lesson on bravery or hard work…

They’re functionally opposites.

You can also look at the way that Usopp and Nami view pirates. Nami (for the most part) has always understood them to be no-good rotten assholes who function on nothing more than blind greed. Usopp on the other hand has idealized them in a way that almost makes the job impossible, never really understanding what being a pirate actually means beyond the fantastic lies he makes up to see Kaya smile and the lies he tells about his dad that he tells his mom so he doesn’t have to think that hisdad actually abandoned them both. Usopp lives in a fantasy land of swashbuckling heroes and Nami lives in the real world full of greedy assholes….it’s just their luck that Luffy’s crew is a healthy(?) combination of both.

This is to better define the age differences between Nami, Sanji, and Zoro compared to Usopp and Luffy (Notice how both the monster trio and the coward trio have a healthy dose of both?) Nami is a realist who has a defined skill set built on years of discipline and who’s been keeping the lesson’s shes learned from Bellemere held close to her heart so she never becomes the rotten thing that took her mother from her. Usopp doesn’t have any of that.

Nami acts to ground Usopp and, in a way, pass on the knowledge that Bellemere taught her about hard work and discipline onto this insecure teen. She reminds him that not only are there actual stakes in being a pirate, but that those stakes are scary because you should never give up.

Usopp on the other hand brings a healthy dose of stupid teenage boy bullshit but being smarter than Luffy…but still pretty stupid overall. He doesn’t take everything so seriously and it must feel like a breath of fresh air to Nami who’s been living every day like it’s the last day of her life.

That’s their differences, now let’s talk about similarities or what makes them a part of the ‘cowards trio’ (we’ll talk about Chopper a bit more in a sec because this question is about THEM specifically).

They both avoid confrontation like it’s the plague. Sure Nami is more willing to attack when she feels threatened but more like a scared shelter animal might…self-defense isn’t exactly assault (I’m looking at you Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji). She has always looked out for herself so she’s got some good ‘stay-the-fuck-away-from-me-or-i’ll-make-your-digestive-track-work-in-reverse’ energy that helps her get outta dodge before the big powerful guy shows up, but now she’s just Luffy so…it becomes a stamina problem.

Usopp’s got the same practical issue, stamina, with a different reason… lack of experience and area of expertise…he’s a 17-year-old sniper who’s never really had to fight anyone before…

Nami’s used to tricking her way out and Usopp is used to running…neither of which are really that viable in a strawhat fight.

Because Nami has never needed weaponry that does any more than deliver a clear (and metal-tasting) message then it takes til the iconic scene between her and Usopp before Alabasta where she asks him to make her something better suited to actually fight with. The physical fighters on the crew rely on either pure strength or fucking devil fruit magic which leaves them both at a sort of disadvantage. Nami knows she can’t compete melee-wise with her metal pipe (Sabo scoffs somewhere) and asks Usopp for help because he does a good job not being melee and she wants in on that skill set which turns them both into….

Support fighters! (Clapping ensues).

We’ll go into what this means in a second but this combination of similarities and notable childhood differences leads to the sibling-like interactions between them…Nami trying to teach her younger brother the ropes, only to find that some of the ropes she’s been relying on are no longer needed. She finds out that the younger brother in question has found his own ropes that provide tremendous aid and says that she wants in. They start carrying the same general load, even if Usopp’s a smug asshole about it in the beginning (the ‘party tricks’ thing with the climatact made me want to pull my hair out but it’s actually what a smug younger brother would do….make a useful but humiliating weapon only Nami could really use).

In regards to why they’re the only sane ones, that answer is notably easier…they’re the only humans. Sanji and Zoro are excluded from this category for genetic reasons, all the devil fruit users are excluded for Magic reasons, Jimbei is excluded for Fishman reasons, and Franky is excluded for SUPER reasons, it only leaves Usopp and Nami. They’re mortal and very aware of it. Nami knows just how close to death she can dance and the strawhats tend to consistently drag her to dance WAY beyond that safety net while Usopp, on the other hand, lacks the experience to be comfortable anyway closer to death than explicitly necessary…which is apparently not strict enough criteria for Luffy and his gang of monsters to leave the poor son of a bitch alone.

To briefly mention Chopper (because I’m gonna start more formally discussing the various trios and the doctor shouldn’t be just casually dismissed altogether) his inexperience with the human world almost acts as a middle between Nami and Usopp. He lacks Nami’s experience but his lack of an appropriate starting place doesn’t leave him quite as discombobulated as Usopp. In other words, he doesn’t know how to handle the strawhats crazy but he doesn’t know anything but that crazy so he’s not as bothered as either of them. All of this paired with him being the youngest strawhat overall, and you’re left with a scared kid who wants something rational he can hold onto for stability…nothing about Luffy, Zoro, or Sanji is stable in the combat sense but Usopp and Nami…their fear is entirely rational. It makes complete sense. He’s also a doctor which means he doesn’t want to cause unnecessary harm without a valid reason + the pirate king and his goons aren’t quite the post-op patients a doctor dreams about late at night so preventing his future patients from harm whenever possible might also act as a bonus for peaceful conflict resolution.

Now let's discuss the various trios and what they mean. I would argue that the ‘coward trio’ is an accurate way to describe Nami, Usopp, and Chopper in a fight the same way the ‘monster trio’ is an accurate way to describe Sanji, Zoro, and Luffy in a fight….the first three are cowards that want nothing to do with a fight on principle, while the later three are demons from hell with little regards for self-preservation, property damage, or levels of sadism (Zoro, I’m mostly looking at you for that one). ‘Weak trio’ though? Thems’ fightin’ words. Weakness is all perspective. Is Luffy’s weakness to seastone put him in this group? How about Sanji’s weakness to women? How about Zoro’s weakness to Milhawk or Kuma? It’s all about perspective. I think a more fitting term would be ‘support trio’. You get a wizard, a marksman, and a healer… they’re supporting characters for the barbarian, monk, and fighter classes that are gonna find themselves in quite the consistent predicament if they keep just trying to fit things as hard as they can. That’s not all Nami, Usopp, and Chopper are in the same way that not all Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro are…if we’re defining these characters purely by their fighting style then it works but I try to take the harder path of analyzing them individually as well as through the relationships that they form (hence the reason behind me wanting these asks).

Hope this was what you wanted, I sure had fun writing it! Any and all thoughts as well as feelings would be much appreciated! Thanks for the ask! (Also here ya go @certain-arcade-dinosaur , this is what I postponed my Classics final to write, and it was worth it!)

(Loving the recently Usopp Love!!! Big fan of my favorite dude getting some love recently!)
