With credit towards @jhaernyl who shared some fantastic doctor/surgeon humor with me that ended up leading to.....

The ZoLaw AU No One Asked For...

Where Law is a surgeon on some small Northern Island.

Recently Transfered Nurse Sabo: Excuse me, sir, there is a man here? Roronoa Zoro. He's apparently suffered a small injury.

Law: *sighs* Let me guess, that loudmouthed robot made him come in.

Nurse Sabo: No, he-

Law: Robo-ya's wife then. At least one of them is sensible.

Sabo: He came alone, sir, said he was training and suddenly felt something was off balance. I couldn't -

Law: *Going completely still*

Law: *Turning and grabbing the poor new trainee by the shoulders* QUICK! Answer me this: did he finish his training?

Sabo: Err, no, he said he was worried and he came right in so-

Law: BEPO GRAB THE CRASH CART! WE HAVE A CODE GREEN!!!

Law rooming down the whole hospital.

Law: WE CANT LET HIM GET AWAY HE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED *Pointing dramatically as Shachi and Penguin nod to one another, both grab jing gurneys and blocking off the ER exit*

Zoro: *Raising an eyebrow, though also still suspiciously holding onto his arm* Honestly, Torao it was no big deal, I feel fine now.

Law: *sighs* Zoro-ya... *looking down at the floor.*

*....And there is just a trail of blood on the floor leading to Zoro who is holding into his arm which he has (roughly) bandaged on.*

Zoro: What?

Law: .... Zoro-ya, give me your arm. Now.

Zoro: Torao, I told you, its fine, I just needed some ba-

Law: Give. Me. Your. Arm.

Zoro: Tch *hands over his stupid traitor arm*

Trainee Nurse Rebecca: *passes out cold*

Law: Zoro-ya, what has Law said about cutting off your own limbs!?

Zoro: But you always fix it and it was easier than-

Law: That's not the point Zoro-ya! You can't just cut off limbs whenever it's easy!

Sabo: So are they always like this?

Older HCA Ikkaku, who is used to these idiots: *holds out popcorn bucket to share*

No words. Her show is on.

Sabo: But none of the TVs are-Ooooh HCA Ikkaku: I said shhh!

Ikkaku: Roronoa just mentioned Doctor Trafalgar just being sour over Zoro's ankle stitches. That ALWAYS leads to drama.

2nd HCA aka Perona: *appearing from nowhere to grab a handful of popcorn* Doctor Trafalgar hates those scars. Everyone in the hospital - depth, probably the whole town - knows as much. Law doesn't exactly make it a secret.

Like catching someone up on a your favorite long running television show.

Only its live and one of the people is holding a detached bloody arm.

Ikkaku: *ignoring the wide eyes stare from young nurse* Ooh, Looks like Roronoa is going to let him attach it.

Perona: *giggling* Doctor Trafalgar is gonna give him such a hard time! Horohoro, I'll bet he wouldn't even call for the anesthesiologist!

Law: AND DON'T BOTHER GETTING CESEAR! WE'RE DOING THIS NOW!

Ikkaku: Yo, new guy, stop just standing around and get your pal there off the floor.

Perona: And hurry up, we doesn't want to miss when Roronoa finally smiles. Doctor Trafalgar goes bright red! It's SOOO cute! 💕

She's right, too, as anyone whose worked there long enough will attest. It's the best part of the whole show.

The trainee and new transfer are not sure about all this, but the employees who have worked there awhile seem to be.... enjoying it?

Law: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, IDIOT!? WHAT IF I WASN'T HERE TODAY!? AND DON'T JUST ACT LIKE IT WAS A MINOR PAIN!!!

Zoro: Hey! Last time, when Robin made me come (damn noisy witch) and I showed the lady what was wrong, she passed out and you got all-

Law: Because you can't just show our poor check in team a gaping chest wound, Zoro-ya!

Law: *eyebrow twitching* Still! You're supposed to mention when you've CUT OFF YOUR OWN ARM!

It doesn't seem fair for Torao is getting so upset with him, especially since this time Zoro came in without even being made to. Oh, and he knew it wouldn't be a problem! Torao is the best surgeon in the world, Zoro knew he'd be able to fix him.

Sure enough.....

Zoro: Oye, Torao! Look at that! It's good as new! *Bright, sharp smile* See, ai knew there was a reason we kept you around!

Law: *immediately frozen*

HCA Ikkaku: *nudges nurse* Wait for it...

Law: *frozen*

HCA Perona: *holding onto the trainee Nurse too tightly, eyes wide* Here it comes....

Law: *whole face turns bright pink, pulling his surgery mask up as if hiding* Whatever you idiot! Now, stop getting yourself hurt! I'm not sewing on any other limbs for another month at least, I swear!

Zoro: You are the best, Torao *smile getting even brighter*

Perona: 💕 Ahh, aren't they so cute? 💕

Rebecca: Are they?

Sabo: Or are they just scary?

Zoro: *still with that sharp smile as he twists his arm, practicing all his sword moves. Absolutely glowing with pride* Not even a scar, doc. You really are the best.

Law: Of course I didn't leave a scar! I'm not some useless sack of flesh like that Hogsback asshole. I would never leave you with an unwanted mark.

Zoro: *still studying his arm, smile becoming softer, warmer* You know... I wouldn't mind a little mark. So long as it was from you.

And Law's mask gets pulled up so high he's practically got his eyes covered.

(It's both.)

(They're both adorable and scary.)

#I don't want to alarm anyone #but there is more of this #like a good amount more #there's a whole scene with Law bitching out Mihawk for his training being too dangerous #Zoro almost fights Shanks for a comment he makes about Law('s ass)#oh theres so much more drama on the way #one piece #one piece modern au #roronoa zoro #trafalgar d. water law #trafalgar law #zolaw #the zolaw au nobody asked for #doctor trafalgar law #just a small northern island #with one sexy temple guard #look sometimes its just easier to remove the limb knowing your crew will sew it back on when your done #Law: Zoro-ya who the fuck taught you this!?#my writing #I'm gonna call it.....#North Blue Anatomy #part one #one piece perona #my perona #revolutionary sabo #one piece sabo #ikkaku one piece #rebecca one piece #Zoro's smile melts Law's cold northern heart #certainly doesn't do anything to “melt” his hard on though

ZoLaw AUs Nobody Asked For

Law and Zoro as online boyfriends.

They text. They chat. They ask one another advice, occasionally at really awkward times. [Picture of Zoro trying to text on this damn e-mushi because DrHeartStealer wasn't sure his crew actually LIKED him, is he being too harsh Sword3?] while also trying to fight off a giant electric god pet snake.

This all started pre-Luffy (Zoro's official calendar units) and neither of them have really gotten brave enough to reveal their identities but, yeah, online boyfriends.

So Zoro means it when he shoulders some guy at bar out of his personal space with a little, "look somewhere else, buddy." He's taken.

Robin: I notice Kenshi-san is very attached to his e-mushi. Nami: Zoro? Ha! No, he hates those things. It's why he lets kata- oh, THAT. *Eye roll* Yeah, he's really attached to that "e-mushi" Robin: *side smile* Why do I feel as if you're holding back on important details, Navigator-san? Nami: *sigh* I guess it's only right that, since Luffy decided you were crew, I tell you everything I know Nami: So I can finally gossip about this bitch with someone who gets it

#welcome to my brain #yes its a weird place please ignore all the swordsmen....#screwing #please ignore all the screwing swordsmen #an e-mushi is a cell phone version of a den den mushi mushi #if you're curious for more background than needed: Zoro hates them and prefers traditional den den mushi #he has one that rushes to him when require; its name is Snail #but he does own an e-mushi for one very important purpose #Dr Heartstealer #the zolaw au nobody asked for #one piece #roronoa zoro #trafalgar d. water law #trafalgar law #zolaw #cat bulgar nami #nico robin #so much gossip about this bitch #Robin you don't even know #look I like when my girls just hang out being sassy together #and I like when my kenshi are in some kind of pining half not really relationship that invites all sorts of shenanigans #eventually ending in some hot fucking #no there wasn't meant to be another word there #I said what I sajd #hot. fucking.#zoro x law #amusing musings #monkey d. luffy

(Shout out to @jhaernyl for helping me write this!)

I've been half working on some writing prompts from this book while in bed. And when I got this one:

My immediate reaction was, "I don't know PRECISELY what went down but I can tell you, it's Law's worst ever day working on Sora: Warrior Of The Sea!"

So a crew meeting has been called. It's not the first time Shanks has decided to turn a simple set announcement into a whole ordeal - no one has ever accused their ginger haired show runner of lacking a sense of theatrics - and no one is expecting it to be any bigger of a deal than the last time he'd gathered everyone for one of his big proclamations, and that turned out to be about the company changing caterers.

It's not until everyone sees the gloomy, serious look on their other executive producer's face that some of the chatting turns to more worried whispers. True, it would be far MORE worrying if Mihawk didn't look overly serious and vaguely bored, but most of them had become experts at reading his expression and this one was pointedly less bored than usual. Which is rarely a good sign.

Shanks: Now, no need for everyone to get all serious on him! Shanks wanted to be the one to tell everyone the great news! You know how they've been really struggling to nail down the new Marine Admiral who is so central to this next arch? Well, Shanks has found the perfect solution!

Franky: Oye, you finally cast Admiral Tartaglia! That's 🌟SUPER🌟!

Shanks: Hey now, you're going to watch to hold some of that excitement back! Because the casting!? It's far more SUPER than you're prepared for Franky! Get ready to have your mind blown!

Crew: *Carefully steps away from Franky, just in case. Well expect-*

Luffy: *Stays hanging over Franky's shoulders to get a good view, vibrating in excitement.*

Robin: *Also remains next to Franky, giggling into her hand at the crew and Shanks and just all this in general.*

Shanks: It's an multi talented, award winning actor (who also just so happens to be Shank's own beloved husband 💕):

✨Buggy D. Clown!✨

And everyone just sort of tenses up, even as the confetti cannons go off and Buggy's own little troupe of personal assistance rolls out the red carpet for his entrance.

Zoro: What? What's wrong? Why is everyone being stupid all the sudden?

(Zoro might not get all social cues but he can tell when people are purposeful avoiding eye contact.)

Ace: *Still cracking up too hard to speak*

Zoro: *punch in the arm* Stop being an idiot, tell me what's going on.

Ace: It's just - it's so amazing.

Ace: *Not. Over. Laughing* This is going to be a disaster.

Zoro: Eeh? *Cocking his head, watching as a man pedals his way out of a unicycle, holding one end of a banner proclaiming Buggy's interest while a llama - dressed as an elephant mind you - chews at the other corner, unbothered by the theatrics going on all around.* I still don't get it. What's this circus guy doing here?

Ace: *endless amused*

And while Shanks is smiling and clapping for Buggy's entrance and everyone else is either awkwardly clapping along or trying to avoid eye contact, somewhere to the side of the room is one of their writers.

Law: *BSoD*

Everyone knows Buggy is going to cost a fortune but be stingy about everyone else getting anything, wanting to compare salaries, squawking over his treatment as their Newest Best Ever Star, etc. etc.

And Shanks, their supposedly fearless leader, the one they all look to when things seem hopeless and people feel as though the shoot will never get back on track, will just laugh it off and go with it.

Shanks: Why all the worried faces! Buggy is great! Sure, he can be a little dramatic but he's an actor, it's par for the course!

Law's scripts.

Law's poor, amazing, very, VERY particular scipts.

Law's scripts. That should NOT be changed under any circumstances once so ever or else the entirety of Sora canon will be at risk!!!!

The... the story's integrity it's...

Robin: It's so sweet seeing two people who work in this business still so affection with one another, isn't it, Law-kun?

Law: *still in shock* Love is ruining everything.

Mihawk is going to be winning points with Law by being the guard dog of the scripts (and who thought Law would be depending on the one Northerner that seems not to care about Sora and the one who seems to care a little TOO much about Zoro-ya, don't think he hasn't noticed, Hawk-ya!) Not so much to impress Law but because Mihawk has a list of all the shows Buggy has tanked after getting on them.

And he will go through it, every time Buggy starts to argue he knows better about scripts. His work is extremely well cited. He also has all the interviews with people who swore to never work with Buggy again, because he's such a difficult actor.

And yet, so popular with audiences!

(Which Shanks is only too happy to bring up every time it seems the crew is getting a little too close to an all out revolt. At least it keeps Buggy happy enough that he'll usually back down in whatever minor thing he's decided to turn into an all out war with Mihawk.)

Mihawk: Be that as it may, I'd much prefer to maintain a crew that will continue working with them after Buggy leaves, since he's only cast for half a season. *(Mihawk wouldn't agree to a longer constract.)*

Shanks: *Not giving up on this since everyone else can't seem to see the endless upside?* Truly, one of the most devoted fanbases you will meet!

Buggy: *Happily waving to his new crew, all beloved fans he's sure as his troupe quickly works to seep the confetti they'd fired to announce his arrival* It's true, it's true! He can hardly help it, being one of the most celebrated actors of his day! If only not for all the production problems that he seems cursed to endure!

(ie: that he directly causes)

Mihawk: That you directly cause.

Mihawk: I have been on those sets, I have the backstage videos, Buggy.

Mihawk: Do not tempt me.

Law doesn't even like their executive producer that much for reasons that are entirely his own and don't interfere with their work so are of no real concern (but seriously, the man is neither an actor nor a stuntman nor the director! Give Law one excuse for the way he is constantly finding reasons to put his hands all over Zoro-ya when he's practicing his swordsmanship! The mere fact that he happens to be world Kendo league champion for five years running is NOT a good enough reason!) But the way the man has been protecting his scripts lately cold thaw even a Northern heart.

Mihawk: They are not changing their award-winning scripts and that's final!

Law: *swoons slightly before catching himself*

Law: Does Hawk-ya seem more interested and less apathetic about the project than he usually projects?

Mihawk: *walking off all serious and mature and not at all muttering curses about that annoying clown under his breath*

Robin: I suppose it depends on where you think Hawk-san's interest lies, Law-kun.

Later, Buggy's troupe will be busy trying to pull off some stunt work - according to his contact while Buggy doesn't do any of his own stunt work his personal and private troupe has full power of his stunts - until it's all just too pathetic to witness. Zoro just wants to get his stupid scene over with okay?

Zoro: Tch, that's what you call sword work? *Grabbing the sword from the shock man's hand, who can only stand there, eyes wide. No one had ever dated before!* Stop embarrassing yourselves and get out of the way!

And he doesn't care about the protests OR the shocked gasps from the crowd because Zoro has absolutely no fucks to give for that sort of weak ass kendo.

Zoro: Why should he care if everyone is staring or if the guy with the big red nose gets all pissy? He's always angry anyway, how is that Zoro's fault!? And did you see those idiots? He couldn't stand it one second longer!

Law's poor heart.

Robin giggling so hard that Shachi has to nudge her. Hey, the sound equipment is right here.

Zoro easily showing up Buggy's swordsman, not that it was all that difficult.

Zoro: You call that sword work? What kind of hack are you?

Oh, and of course he does the whole scene shirtless, because he was mid-work out on the sidelines as he waited for them to finish. Which turns out to be a sort of saving grace, since if he'd been in costume all the footage would have been unusable. Instead, it's all amazing quality footage of Zoro, sword out, gleaming with sweat.

Law's poor heart.

It takes some serious elbow prodding from Robin before Law realizes he's staring

Law: Because -!! You know -!!!

Law: He's so happy the scene turned out well and all!!

Robin: It doesn't hurt that our stuntman-san is particularly forgetful when it comes to things like shirts, does it! Law: *blushing* I hadn't noticed. Ace: *loudly, from the back* Really? The rest of us did!

.... Law hates his coworkers. He really does...

Ace was never shy in showing Zoro, or any other coworker, how much they were appreciated.

Or as Law would say... "Inappropriate, and he's lucky it was a closed set with no one around. Imagine the stories if pictures got out. As if worrying about Clown-ya isn't putting them all under enough stress!"

At least that is a short clip of the 20 minute rant he subjected Mihawk to.

Mihawk: Trafalgar realizes that Mihawk is neither H nor PR, right?

Law: Obviously! But Hawk-ya is an executive producer, surely he can do something about this pattern of behavior!

Law: .... Also, HR has requested he file less complaints. And PR has reported him to HR due to an "excessive focus on details to the determinate of our department's mental health."

Law: Or something to that effect. Point is, as the executive producer, Hawk-ya MUST have the power to do SOMETHING.

Mihawk: Could Law work Daichi's presence in that scene?

Mihawk: The fans of the show will rip the stuntwork of Buggy's stuntman apart, and as much as Mihawk would personally enjoy that, he wouldn't like the effect it would have on their reputation as a show.

Mihawk: Roronoa has spoiled their audience for actually accurate sword fights.

Law: What? No, that -that was am- f-fine. Zo-Roronoa-ya did excellent stunt work - certainly gave them more usable content then that other green hair one - they can probably just cut around it in an manner that, well, it's not like Roronoa-ya would be uncomfortable if they showed-

Law: No, wait, this is off topic!

Law: He meant PORTGAS-YA! Portgas-ya's behavior was just so unprofessional!

Law: It made the entire crew uncomfortable! Just look! *Waves down to the floor!*

Luffy: *Laughing at his brother and bestie getting along, joking Ace in piling on Zoro, hanging off the both of them*

Robin: *openly taking photos prior to Luffy's presence, at which point she lowers her phone and just smiles at the show*

Crew: *gives no fucks, goes about working*

(Well, Sanji did protest but like they can't stop work qevery time Sanji complains about two guys "upsetting the more delicate actresses and female crew members around!" Just because he's so obvious got issues. So not really bothering to mention.)

(It's pretty much only Law who is in anyway upset but only because he cares so much .... About the show.)

Zoro actually does approaching Law later in order to apologize for "jumping into the shot".

Zoro: He knows how Torao gets about his scripts, and he should have just let them do their work, but it was taking forever, and watching them was starting to grate on his nerves.

Zoro: But he'll try and keep out of it next time, for Torao's sake. (Even if it IS painful to watch and makes Zoro want to stab something....)

Law: You know actually, I know I may have ... Dismissed Zoro-ya's acting a few times when he was first... But his stunt work is really.... And anyway, he did really, really great and ... Well, um he could probably work with the camera crew and direct next time just to.... But honestly he was just so.... Really helped save Law's script so - err.... And okay thank you! *Hurries away; what the hell did he just say and why!?!?*

Zoro: *feels strangely warm even though that was...*

Ikkaku: Boss, just wanted to check with you on something.

Law: *still blushing, not once looking back as he high tails it back to the shadows* Hmm hmm? Yeah? Uh, what is it? A lighting problem?

Ikkaku: No, no.

Ikkaku: Just wanted to make sure you knew how much of a human disaster you just were.

Her criticism is noted.

I'll bet every year, the Sunī-Gō has the best damn Pride Celebration ever.

Like imagine slamming the first Strawhat centered five minutes of a movie up against the most over the top, colorful parts of the intro songs. That's what I imagine it would be like on the Thousand Sunny. For the whole month.

Where everyone is just in crazy costumes living their and everyone else's best lives?

[You know, like this but not made in under five minutes]

Luffy would be wearing like this strangely cool Ace jacket - like, really, considering his usual fashion sense how does he get these things you'd wonder and then realize nah you're just jealous - and like, a gray tanktop that should be just plain but is some how a disaster and bright purple shorts because of course.

Nami would presumedly have a shirt that had two female symbols just slapped on her boobs because of course she'd owns that shirt.

Robin would be in like a classy yellow and pink dress with like knee high blue boots because why not throw some BDSM into it? And also a little backpack with like twenty buttons just of rainbows and things like "❤️ is ❤️ (though I prefer 🍑)" scribbled on them, and a cute hat with a biflag ribbon.

Chopper would be wearing the most adorable rainbow themed costume with a shirt that said "Trans Rights Are Human ALL Our Rights!" (Because of course as a doctor' Chopper would understand how important confirming medical care is for Trans kids, and Chopper would never hurt a patient, much less make a kid be forced to be someone they weren't!)

Brook could legit show up in one of his many pan looks.

Franky would have some kind of robotic shoulder pads that shoot out rainbow confetti and a rainbow thong, with his hair in a heart shape

Usopp could shot a Special Pride Attack that exploded into like a rainbow assortment of powders that covered the Sunny's sails and made them giant rainbows.

Zoro would be Zoro

It would be awesome

(No I literally imagine Zoro would just be like napping during all this)

(Maybe Robin would have replaced his usual clothes with, like, some tight ass jeans and an adorable gay shirt. Something like, "If Found, Return To My Boyfriend")

(And you know he's not gonna question why his usual clothes have gone missing. He'd just pull that V neck on and roll with it)

Also just imagine Law rolling up to this.... Mess

Trying to be all dark and serious. And then just like..

*Dead stop*

*Blinking down at Zoro*

His mind just going into planning over drive.

Is there a boyfriend? Is this like a joke or is Zoro-ya actually interested in guys? Is there a boyfriend? Where is that cook? No, Zoro-ya would never go out with a member of Germa. Does he know how tight those jeans are? He must realize it just.... Damn.

Also, is there a boyfriend?

Does Law have to kill someone? He's a pirate.

He has no problems killing someone.

(Robin growing an arm while Law is distracted by Zoro's tits shirt. "Stealing" Law's hat and replacing it with one that says "Boyfriend Material" in rainbow text.)

@jhaernyl immediately and repeatedly pointed out how this is a trick All Hearts Law definitely knows (and is well practiced with) and now I can't unsee it.

Imagine baby teenage first mate Zoro all bloodlust-y and with his battle smile, leaping into the air, swords drawn, ready to crash down onto these damn bi-

YANK

Just like that without even a WARNING - the blue thing doesn't count ! - he is jerked to a pause

Trying to struggle at first. By 17 not even bothering. Just glowering, grumbling around the hilt of the sword. Arms still raised. Oye cut it out captain It's just one stupid marine warship!

And there is Law standing at the top of the Polar Tang, hand raised, other arm across his chest, his head slightly tilted, giving Zoro what COULD BE a chiding look, if he didn't look just a bit cocky about it. "What did we just say about running off on your own?"

Hesnotallowedbecausehegetslost This isn't some stupid Grand Line Island (built like a stupid maze that's kept rearranging itself when he wasn't looking).

Law being all smug. "After the last incident, why should I take the chance?" looking away as if he's disappointed to have to tell Zoro the news. Which would be more effective if he wasn't smirking.

Zoro just rolling his eyes before giving a hard, sudden struggle. Just in case he can suddenly break free. GRR, THIS IS DIFFERENT! THEY'RE ATTACKING THE POLAR TANG! ZORO HAS TO HELP DEFEND HIS CREW!

Law giving a sigh that, again, is less effective when he is CLEARLY enjoying himself. "And how can I be sure you won't disappear on us again? Do you really expect me to risk something as valuable as my vice captain and the future exterminator of the shichibukai?" One smooth hand motion and a blue flash and suddenly Zoro is being dumped right at Law's feet, 5'9" of pouty pissed off grumpy teen Kenshi. "That's better." Crossing both arms, smirking down at the pile of Zoro "If you keep this up, we'll have to get a leash for you, Zoro-ya."

Zoro: *still grumpy.*

Zoro: *but much, much pinker*

[Me: It would help illustrate my point if his blush showed up better in this gif.... Gif: Well that sounds like a you problem doesn't it?]

Zoro just staying there, grumbling and pouty but also, you know....

Because Law suggested putting him on a leash

And Zoro is 17. And has been in the North since 13. He's not a KID. He knows lots of sex stuff!

That's DEFINITELY a sex thing (will ask Lumikko and Ikkaku later to make sure it's a sex thing)

Law letting the others handle it while croching down next to Zoro with his lips curved up in that slight half smile before forcing himself to look more serious and captain-y. Repeating the whole lesson they went through after Zoro was lost (for two fucking days!) On that summer island.

The Hearts battling it out in the background while Zoro is sitting there, arms crossed, pouting and trying to look put off. Stealing looks at Law whenever he can. Yeah, yeah, he heard the first time, captain! This is embarrassing! Why can't Zoro just be allowed to go fight?

"Not until I'm sure you've learned your lesson, Zoro-ya." Not until Law is done enjoying his fun. And also recovers from the anxiety that was LOSING ZORO FOR TWO FULL DAYS

The Samurai ZoLaw AU Nobody Asked for...

Whenever I watch any sort of history documentary - which is a lot, I love snuggling in for a good documentary - I come out the other side with some kind of AU. Like everytime. Even if it's just some little YouTube video, it's just how my mind works.

"Here is the problem: the samurai were a class DEFINED by war. It is how they made their money, and their whole purpose was to obediently fight their master's enemies. But Japan had largely been at peace for two century."

"In that time, most samurai became bureaucrats, entered the courts, or became estate managers for their Daimyo. They may still have kept the code and practiced swordsmenship, but it was all but ceremonial."

Me: Law and Mihawk, def. Probably like Denjiro, Saga, arg, Basil.

"Others cut ties to their daimyo's with the disbanding of their armies, becoming masterless Ronin who wandered the country side, most no better than bandits, exploiting and stealing from the farmer, artisan and merchant class."

Me: So like Ashura, Shiki, Diamante, prob Shanks and Rayleigh if we're honest, Hatchan

..... None of these are Zoro choices

Zoro: Oh, no, thanks. I'll just stay a samurai

Law: *raised eyebrow, doing his paperwork* Are you sure, Zoro-ya? How will you make money?

Zoro: *shrug*

Law: And do you know if your Daimyo will even keep you?

Zoro: Oh, that's fine. I have a back up plan.

Law: Ah, so you will join the likes of Akagami-ya. *Sighs but shakes head, what can he do*

Zoro: Hey, Torao, are you a Daimyo yet?

Law: ..... That's not how this works.

Zoro: Oh. Cool.

Zoro: How about now?

Law: No.

Zoro: Now?

Law: No.

Law: My master and former general, Dracule-sama, may still be old fashion (and foolish) enough to hold onto a samurai. Should I speak with him for you?

Zoro: Oh, no, that's cool. It's nothing important.

Zoro: How about now?

#the zolaw au nobody asked for #look i think when Zoro wants a captain #he gets a captain #I dont think a minor detail like 'not a captain' would stop him #a daimyo is just a captain with a house instead of a boat #samurai au #but like the end of the samurai #Zoro is out of time #so pretty canon actually #Law: what did I do to deserve this?#you love it Law #one piece #roronoa zoro #trafalgar d. water law #trafalgar law #zolaw #amusing musings #one piece au

Au where Zoro is a modern day Wano samurai, which you wouldn't guess from his clothes or personality or the fact he has a giant white tiger. Sorry, guardian creature kami

At least that is what it says in the file Law is desperately trying to memorize on his way to the Port de Alma. Damn Black Lung-ya for dumping this on him. Oh, when he thought the delegation from Wano would include the the Komurasaki he was desperate to act as the attache but after finding out it was "just" one of Wano's national heroes the whole thing got dumped on Law's lap and -

Wait, what does it mean, "guardian creature kami"? Like.... Like a byakko? From like ancient times when they believed in magic and everything was pirates and devil's food and shit? So.... so they're talking some kind of like otherworldly presence, right? Or maybe this is just the Wano embassy being really poetic with their damn notes again. They'll probably claim he's so fierce he has a fucking tiger kaibyō that protects him or something. Cora-san definitely would have mentioned to Law that he was going to pick up their new guest and, oh, also a 240 pound giant man eating beast, right? He definitely wouldn't have let Law leave to go pick him up in his his little two seat PLR-Tang. Cora-san knows Law wouldn't allow an animal in his baby no matter the circumstances, and anyway where would you even fit a tiger?

(On the back, it's claws scrapping along the bright yellow paint, while one of it's front paws rests not at all threateningly on his shoulder, it's heavy chin landing on Law's hair and he'd definitely be upset about his hair being covered in white fur and cat drool if he wasn't absolutely terrified.)

"He likes you," is all Roronoa has to say about the situation. "Wado doesn't usually relax around strangers so quickly."

"Lucky me."

One Piece Master List

**Work In Progress, Turns Out It's Taking Me A While To Gather All The Links To All My Writing**

Two things. First, you may have noticed this is a One Piece list. That is because, while I have written for plenty of other fandoms (have you heard of Rent? Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy? Have you read fanfic for it? Yeah, well congrats, you've definitely read something I wrote in high school) all of that has meticulously been uploaded Here where you can go through it at your leisure, quietly (QUIETLY) judging me for things I wrote over a decade ago.

Second, purposefully left out the word "fanfic", because not everything listed is fanfic in the strictest sense. It's all definitely fiction based around One Piece. The question is more how much work went into said fiction.

Series

All Hearts

I mean, if you've read it you would understand. And if you've read any of my One Piece fic, it's probably, definitely this.

Summary: Canon rewrite of One Piece where Zoro ends up stranded in North Blue and ends up as the Vice Captain of The Heart Pirates.

Ships: Zoro/Law (with small hints of Zoro/Mihawk, Penguin/Shachi, and kind of Zoro/Bonney but not really).

Rating: Mature due to some heavy make-out when Zoro is a hormonal teenager and Law is just a whore.

In Love & Kendo (aka Kendo Rivals)

Despite this not being a "real" fic, in the sense of just started as me spit balling and kind of got out of hand from there, it's still somehow like my second most popular One Piece work according to ZoLaw Bitches, and honestly theirs is the opinion I value most.

Links: AO3 Link | Original Post: Part I | OP: Part II | OP: Part III

Summary: Modern AU where kendo rivals Law and Zoro are placed together to compete in the kendo League double championship, despite all appearances that they utterly hate each other. When Law tries to extend an olive branch to Zoro by "taking him and his girlfriend" on a double date, Zoro's "big bro" Ace steps in to.... Help?

Additionally, While writing this up, I posted the following POV summaries for @jhaernyl and thought they were fun:

Law's Summary: "As some sort of punishment for being decent at tricking the media, Silvers-ya forces me to pair up with Kendo Baby Roronoa Zoro if I want to compete in the League Championship. Zoro-ya takes this with as much maturity as you would expect, and then when I go out of my way to try and strengthen our alliance, he brings flashy, pompous actor Portgas-ya along as if MOCKING my offer! And Portgas-ya has the nerve to make out with my new teammate in the middle of the restaurant, showing absolutely no remorse or sense of honor. Also, how is someone like Zoro-ya even dating such a shallow, self-loving IDIOT who clearly has no interest in Kendo beyond how cute Zoro-ya looks in his hakama. Is that really what Zoro-ya finds attractive in a partner? It seems highly unlikely, and I quickly develop a plan to uncover the truth."

Ace's Summary: "Torao is an asshole and I'm way hotter, anyway."

Ships: Law/Zoro, Ace/Zoro, mentions of Law/Robin and not-even-bothering-to-fake-it Perona/Zoro. There are a couple background couples but Nami/Vivi and Sabo/Koala are the only one that gets any real mention.

Ratings: Mature because Ace can't keep his hands to himself. Law at least tries, Ace. At least, up to a point.

Sora: Warrior Of The Sea

So, this is what happens when people engage me online. Multi-part, sprawling head canons for a crazy au about a totally fictional show based on a fake manga from the original anime. Look, it's not gonna get LESS complex after this point, so it was best to prepare you now. Created with @devilfruitsaladfordinner

Links: MASTER POST FOR SORA:WOTS

Summary: What if you had a modern One Piece AU where, after years of working his way through the Saboady film/TV scene, Trafalgar Law finally got to work on his dream project: writing a real life adaption of North Blue's (and Law's) favorite manga of all time, "Sora: Warrior of the Sea"? And what if all that was nearly ruined when, instead of some skilled thespian, the producers decided to hire stunt performer (and real life kendo competitor) Roronoa Zoro as Sora's first mate and closest ally? And what if this leads to the worst thing Law could have possibly dreamed up. Developing feelings.

Ships: it gets pretty messy at times, but the main ones "actors" are Zoro, Law, Ace and Luffy and so pretty much any combo of those four - leaning Law/Zoro, Ace/Zoro/Law, demiace!Luffy/Zoro, Law/Zoro/Luffy

Rating: Varies from General Audience to Explicit. The master list has a better overview on that end.

Different Crew AUs

I mean, is it weird to write a bunch of fics that are "inspired" by your own? Yes, yes it is. But I did it anyway.

Link: Three Of Spades | Seeing Red | Three Tailed Fox | (Prompted) Thriller Bark

Summary: What if instead of being found by Luffy, Zoro had been.... Found by Ace and became First Mate of The Spade Pirates / Taken in by Shanks and raised as the baby of the Red-Haired Pirates / Won in a contest by Foxy and became an unwilling member of the Foxy Pirates / Stolen away along with his older sister by Moriah and became an officer of the Thriller Bark Pirates

Ships: Law/Zoro to some degree on another. Passing mentions of Mihawk/Zoro (Red)

Rating: Safely Teen for the most part. Passing sexual references in Red.

—💚—

Short & Sweet:

Captain To Your Ship (AO3): [Law/Zoro, Unintentional Luffy/Zoro, Teen] Listening to Strawhat-ya and Zoro-ya playing around after most of the party had died down, you would have to be some kind of idiot to miss all the double meaning behind their little game. Law decides to try and see just how innocent these two really are, and if it happens to get him an invitation into a certain swordsman's bed then all the better.

So Stop Me (AO3 Part I) | (Script Style Part II) | (Original Short): [Ace/Zoro, Mihawk/Zoro, Law/Zoro and, if you'd like, Luffy/Zoro at the end. Explicit] Zoro wants different things from different captains. And he gets them. (Aka "Could I write a porny fic that was just like Ace, Law, and Mihawk fucking Zoro senseless only for Zoro to choose Luffy over all of them?" That's a real question I asked myself. And it turns out yes, yes I could.)

Three Date Style (AO3): [Law/Zoro, Teen] Law has had plans in motion. Plans he's been careful about, meticulous. Law has to make sure he doesn't misstep, doesn't set off the many traps lying in his way. So how is it he only finds out that him and Zoro are dating after the fact?

To War Over You (AO3) | (OP Part I) I (OP Part II) | (OP Part III): [Law/Zoro, Mihawk/Zoro, Explicit] At first, Law only takes Zoro-ya to marine headquarters because, well, they clearly require some proof that the former Strawhats are working under Law as the shichibukai claimed. After a chance encounter with Dracule Mihawk, it quickly becomes less about maintaining the lie the Strawhats are now working for Law, and more about marking his very real claim to Zoro-ya.

The Eastern Sun Rising Over A Piece Of Cold Northern Shore: (AO3) | (Tumblr): [Law/Zoro, Chopper-Safe] Law contemplates (and basks in) Zoro's light and warmth.

Strawhat Wildlife Rescue (A03): [Law, Luffy, Tiger!Zoro, Chopper-Safe] Trafalgar Law is a vet working for the Strawhat Wildlife Rescue. He loves his job, but he does require sleep every now and then. Unfortunately, the strawhat boy does not seem to believe in the concept.

Eat Your Heart Out (Part I) | (Part II): [Law/Zoro, Mihawk/Zoro, Explicit] Law is an incubus who needs to find a human devotee. I mean, what else do you want?

Room For One More (AO3) | (Tumblr): [Mihawk/Law, Law/Zoro, Mihawk/Zoro, Teen] Law lives a relatively happy - if somewhat busy - life as a renown doctor whose partner just so happens to be world famous Dracula Mihawk. Or at least Law had THOUGHT they were happily married, until one day he came home to find Hawk-ya in the kitchen with some baby faced boytoy claiming the kid was supposedly "working" as his temporary replacement personal assistant.

Run Away Together (Tumblr): [Mihawk/Law, Law/Zoro, Teen] Zoro has never been so bored out of his mind as when his sensei, Dracule Mihawk, makes him attend these damned dinners and other adult type gatherings; what's the point when he could be using his time practicing kendo instead? Though when twenty something year old doctor Trafalgar Law returns to the island, Zoro finds he has a reason to socialize after all.

Suri Asha (A03) | (Tumblr): [Law/Zoro, Mihawk/Zoro, Teen] Why did Hawkeyes insist on taking him to this formal shichibukai marine mess in the first place? Why is he making Zoro wear this itchy suit and learn to dance? And why is that mysterious other super rookie from back in Soabody following them around as if he's with them?

Who Has Three Swords & Doesn't Give A Fuck? (Tumblr): [Law/Zoro, Teen] (An alternative intro to All Hearts) Zoro is a young omega picked up by (fairly new) pirate captain and alpha Trafalgar Law.

The Surgeon's Blade (AO3) | (Tumblr): [Law/Zoro, Teen] The story of how Zoro got his first decent blade and earned his place on The Polar Tang (All Hearts adjacent.)

Shadow The Snow (Tumblr): [Law/Zoro, Teen] An alternative first meeting for Zoro and Law in the North Blue.

Gifted-Wrapped (AO3) | (Tumblr): [Mihawk/Zoro, Mihawk/Law, Mihawk/Ace, one sided Law/Zoro, Mature] Like a Mihawk who just so happens to be lucky enough to have stumble across all three of these boys in situations where they were tied up, chained down or otherwise incapacitated and unable to move. And while he would never use such a situation to fell an enemy - there’s no honor in that not to mention no challenge - it would also be incredibly wasteful of him not to take advantage of such opportune moments.

—🧡—

Unscripted:

Bad Heart (Or) Donquixote Pirate Law Captures Zoro (Tumblr) | (AO3): Law/Zoro, Doflamingo/Zoro, Teen Kojo-Akai (Or) ZoLaw Moulin Rouge Style (Tumblr): Law/Zoro, Mihawk/Zoro, Doflamingo/Zoro, Mature

The ZoLaw AU Nobody Asked For Where...

Zoro is "in love" with Mihawk/Ace/Saga/Shanks/King/Sanji, he's really sure of it [okay you're gonna have to stick with me for a hot minute on this one]. Not that he has any idea of how to flirt with such an amazing guy.

Law is a flirt, that's an established fact. He's even tried flirting with Zoro a few times, probably for laughs or thinking it might unnerve Zoro before a match (ha! as if Zoro was so easily distracted!).

(Nevermind he'd failed to recognize it as such until Robin pointed it out. Oh, so that's what he meant about Zoro's Santoryu skills having other uses. No, wait, he still doesn't get why the guy would say that....)

It's not like Zoro enjoys the idea of being indebted to that smug son of a bitch with his smirk that makes people go all pink and voice that he's probably making purposefully low so it does that annoying thing to your stomach. But, well, he's starting to think maybe Usopp had been right when he used to talk about "the importance of wooing". Not the part where he insisted he was a master of it - Zoro isn't an idiot, and besides what would Usopp even be doing "wooing" someone not Kaya and around her he is just Usopp but more sappy. Still, it's possible he was onto something with that nonsense about people liking when you say silly things about them wearing clothes or their faces being good, or maybe they actually do like being given useless stuff that they're just going to throw away later or.... Damn, what else had he gone on about? Arg! It had all just seemed like a huge waste of time and making a fuss over these bootless acts and words that didn't seem to mean anything much. Why should Zoro even bother!?

Oh, right. Because stupid [Preferred Hot Guy] and his stupid face and even stupider damn voice. Not that Zoro hadn't tried it his way first, it's just, well, the guy is clearly an idiot and it was his fault for making Zoro gets all - just - tch! Stupid!

And with Usopp's advice half forgotten before he's even finished, it doesn't exactly leave Zoro with a ton of others he can ask for ideas I mean, tch, he's certainly not paying Nami just so she can insult his haramaki again - it's comfortable, especially with his swords, and he's not wasting money on some itchy outfit he'll never want to wear - and he doesn't want Franky making a big deal out of it. Zoro just KNOWS he'd turn it into this whole thing and insisted on building a giant robot with Zoro's face painted on it or worse. And it would probably just end up smashing down [Preferred Hot Guy]'s door, just like it did when Sabo had asked for his help on putting together a surprise party for Koala. Sure, Sabo (and most the rest of Zoro's idiot friends) thought it was awesome, but Kaola was definitely not "woo"ed, and she was already dating Sabo forever by that point! Besides, Zoro is way too mature (and can't afford to fix his door after). No, giant heart-strewn robots definitely weren't what he needed.

Chopper is a kid, Brook is super old, Kuina is Kuina and Luffy is like his captain (they're not exactly pirates, just university kids, but Zoro thinks Luffy would definitely be his, that is if captains were reckless idiots that dragged you to all their stupidest, messiest, best adventures) and you can't ask kids, old people, rivals or captains about stuff like asking out crushes. Everyone knows that. Perona already is always trying to tell him what to do, he's not about to give her permission to boss him around. Johnny and Yosuke once said that Zoro could get any girl he wanted without even trying, but apparently that doesn't work on guys. If he asked Vivi she'd tell Nami. If he asked Jinbe he'd tell Luffy. He could ask Yamato, but the guy keeps slapping Ace on the back and yelling really loudly about what good friends they are, and again, Zoro is not as clueless as everyone seems to believe. He knows hopeless when he sees it (plus he's tried both fighting and talking to [Preferred Hot Guy] way too loudly and they got him about as far as Yamato....).

There is HER but.... no, he has his pride. Zoro would rather cut off his own feet than go to Robin and ask something so embarrassing. Besides, he already knows whatever answer she gives, he wouldn't't understand it. Or he WOULD but she'd also give him one of those SMILES like she just knows he doesn't understand it even though he totally does. Maybe.

At least some of it. Well, if the damn woman just said what it was she wanted him to know instead of making it some kind of demonic riddle!

And that leaves... Well, Zoro has always been proud, but he's not a fool. When Kuina defeated him he stayed until he became better, when Luffy was there to help him out after that asshole cop got in his face and handcuffed him to that lamppost, he let the annoying kid help, when he had the chance to train under Silvers Rayleigh, he took it and nevermind that it meant having to put his ego aside. Zoro would never let some hurt feelings stand in the way of victory.

And Zoro is only a little flustered and embarrassed he has to ask for help over something that is so nonessential and shouldn't even be that hard, but damnit he really wants things to work with this guy! And that means being good at flirting and dating and sex and compliments and relationship and everything. So he grits his teeth and does it.

Even if it's a strike to his ego having to ask Torao for help. Especially help with this whole... (Come on, he already asked the embarrassing part, just say it....)

"Really, Zoro-ya? You can't even say it? You need my help to get your little crush to notice you, right? To make him *want* you, I should say. Tsk, tsk, no need to get all indignant, Zoro-ya. And here I thought you would have preferred me being honest and to the point."

Would it be too much to tell the younger man how adorable it is to see him so flustered? Considering how easy he's made getting a reaction out of him, Law supposes it would be. Really, he should take pity on Zoro-ya, after the other boy worked up the courage to come to Law with such a request.

"That's quite the cute expression, Zoro-ya. Though what happened to the swordsman that gives me such a challenge on the mats. I certainly hope you're not so easy when it comes to showing your hand to your [Guy]-ya. Love is like any other fight; hardly worth the effort if there is no blood on the line."

[Why is Torao smiling at Zoro that way? It's.... Annoying, and Zoro doesn't like it! Gah!]

Okay, okay, so Law may enjoy himself a little too much at first. Can you blame him, when here is the overly confident, self assured, unimpressed Roronoa Zoro of kendo infamy standing here, openly admitting to Law's superiority? How can he resist the temptation of... Nudging the boy's (very easily pushed) buttons when he's giving Law such an opening?

Not to mention Zoro is one of the Strawhat gang, and while he always has been one of the more interesting tolerable, it still gives Law a great deal of satisfaction knowing that their usual method is running straight into every situation without a thought or care hasn't paid off. For once.

(What? Cora-san, it's not that he's laughing at Zoro-ya's misfortune! Don't give him that look! Law just likes that one of the Strawhats finally had to admit that Law is better than them.)

It's more than that, though. Law remembers the boy's blank stares the number of times Law played coy or made vague advances out of curiosity or boredom. Worst, he saw Zoro-ya's last attempt to talk to this guy he's apparently gotten himself so tied into knots over and.... Law can't believe someone can make such a mess when he's hot enough that, to be honest, he could have skipped right past the part where he used his mouth for something as pedestrian as talking. Law can already see [Preferred Hot Guy] would be more than happy to... Accommodate this more direct approach.

But Zoro-ya had asked for Law's guidance. He's hardly going to throw away such an opportunity. It isn't as if Law is going to stop Zoro from getting his [Preferred Hot Guy]-ya, but what about the next person that catches the kenshi's eye? No, it's better if he learns these skills properly.

Zoro: Tch, come on, how hard can it be? Just show me how it's all done so I can do it.

Law: *smirking* Just so long as you take our little lesson seriously, Zoro-ya.

Flirting goes well, date upcoming!

Zoro: So now what?

Law: *raised eyebrow, more concerned with his medical text book at this moment. He can't always just be amusing himself by teasing messing with this boy* Hmm. I thought you said the flirting worked. *As Law knew it would.*

Zoro: Yeah, now you have to show me the next part. Don't tell me you're backing out of your promise so soon, Torao!

Law: ....

Law: *Curiosity getting the better of himself, turning to look at the green haired boy with.... A weary thoughtfulness* You have the attention of your boy. What precisely is the problem?

Zoro: That was just the asking out part!

And while Law is helping to guide Zoro through all of it without being a diaster it's hard not to notice. Well, he already noticed Zoro was hot, but it's not just that. He's also cute. Like, in a way that makes Law smile this kind of stupid smile.

One that Zoro-ya informs him isn't nearly as annoying as his usual smile which only makes Law feel....

Oh.

Fuck.

How did Law let this happen?

The ZoLaw AU Nobody Asked For Where...

Zoro is a Sergeant in the newly formed North-East Allied Army and the rest of his company are keeping themselves distracting, boasting about their girls back home. How pretty they are, how often they write, how much they miss them, etc while Zoro just sits there, polishing his sword, doesn't say anything.

Hee, seems like Roronoa doesn't have anyone. Maybe that's why he's always polishing his sword, guys. [Cue bad jokes.]

When they wind up back at a base after a bad fight and out storms this incredibly attractive - like, shit, did anyone mention there is a fucking war on and supplies are limited so maybe spare some of that sexy for the rest of us - doctor with dark hair and glasses and a stern look that lets you know he isn't to be messed with.

Marching right over to Zoro, grabbing onto him, and yanking him in close for an absolutely searing kiss.

Law can't believe Zoro-ya got separated from his squadron for TWO HOURS, right after a damn fire fight, too. Don't you dare scare him like that again, or next time he'll just let you lose both ankles.

And no one is about to admit it but they're all sort of jealous (and in awe) of the young green haired sergeant.

He did attach himself to another unit, this time, rather than trying to come back on his own.

Well, Law didn't KNOW that, did he?

All he heard was someone give Zoro-ya's unit's number, and a rough head count of the injured, dead and missing. Law has been waiting for over an hour, terrified when they got back Zoro-ya wouldn't even be with them!

No, no, damnit, just take him to the medical tent - they're not waiting for Cesar, damnit, they'll do it without the anesthesia!

Law has to go, if Zoro-ya has gone missing again before Law gets back he'll seriously think about shooting the boy himself.

He'll station himself outside and wait for Law there.

Kissing Law again, before he lets himself be dragged along by Law.

You can hear the rest of the camp muttering.

It doesn't seem right some kid like Roronoa would have someone that attractive, and a doctor, and who can see him on the front line.

(That's not fair, Zoro is just as popular with other soldiers as he is unpopular. Plenty of the drafted boys adore him, a lot of the commissioned officers less so.... Either you think he's an great guy, always watching after newbies, too, and even if he's not the funniest or more exciting guy he never gets down or hopeless, plus he's one crazy son of a bitch when it comes to battle. Or else you think he's just some untrained gutter rat who has so far been lucky, whose whole "I fight with a sword" act is deserving of nothing but ridicule and, well, eventually likely a foreseeable death.)

(Those predisposed to dislike Roronoa can't believe a ratty looking kid like THAT managed to find someone as well put together as that doctor. The rest of the unit, they don't resent Zoro for having a guy, but it's just like.... Not what they expected at all.)

("Hmm, I don't know, maybe some girl who makes a living fighting people on street corners?" - if absolutely forced to guess who Roronoa had waiting for him back home.)

("Swords." - Probably the better answer. "Who is Roronoa going home to when this is over? That's an easy one. Just more swords.")

Law would be so offended if he found out.

Zoro wouldn't, and couldn't give less of a fuck what the rest of the unit think of him, especially when it comes to their weird habit of comparing girlfriends. What does it matter what they think?

But Law would be offended for him.

Actually, Zoro-ya could have had just about anyone he wanted, and Law is lucky the other boy puts up with him as much as he does. Shows what these idiots know.

All ruffled up. Yes, he knows it's just one of those stupid macho solider things, but still! How dare they suggest Zoro-ya wasn't surrounded by beautiful women absolutely throwing themselves at him.

(He definitely isn't. Law would DESTROY them if they tried.)

(He might have been, once, but Law took care or that)

They wouldn't be saying those things if they saw Zoro-ya in his dress uniform, all buttoned and scrubbed up and looking so handsome.

(Of course, almost no one has seen Zoro looking like that in his dress uniform. Every time he's even bothered to make the attempt, he always checks with Law to see if he did okay, and by the time Law is done with him, he's left in at least twice as much of a mess.)

I'm sure plenty of Zoro's officers immediately decide that there is no way someone like Roronoa is worthy of a man that pretty to look at. They must have met after the war had started, after all the good ones had already gone. Poor doctor, probably didn't have much of a choice with just losers and cowards left to pick from.

But of course now that they're here, well, they can show Law what a real man can offer?

Law utterly nonplused. As a surgeon he outranks most of them, and it's honestly embarrassing how these men are willing to humiliate themselves in front of a superior office like that.

(There were a few times, in the beginning, where Law let some of the less terrible ones get away with it, even pay them attention, sometimes return the flirtation with a smile. That's only when Zoro-ya has been gone a particularly long time, and yet now that he's back he seems to have plenty of time for his unit, helping the new kids adjust, going around to see some of the wounded, helping their medic Chopper to replace all his supplies and beating up anyone who tries to hold back on him just because he's young and not "a real doctor" or whatever shit they want to sprout.)

(And of course all of that is important and admirable and part of why Law loves him. But Zoro-ya should also find time for Law.)

(He had thought maybe if Zoro-ya saw other people paying him so much attention, maybe he would want Law to spend less time with them and more with him.)

(He didn't expect Zoro-ya to look so heartbroken over some innocent flirting - look, if that kind of guy is what Law wants then Zoro isn't going to stop him - and he definitely hadn't realized than just because Zoro-ya doesn't CARE what they say, doesn't mean he doesn't LISTEN, and think that maybe Law feels the way they all claim he does.)

(Since that, Law has always been fiercely protective of his Zoro-ya with those asshole solider boys. No one makes his Zoro-ya feel like he isn't PRECISELY what Law wants.)

ZoLaw AUs Nobody Asked For Presents....

Fairy Tale Twist

Part One: Abduction!

[This was inspired by watching the first episode of the anime Heaven Official Blessing with @jhaernyl. However, for the purpose of this ficlette all you need to know is the whole thing is your typical fanfic set up: a bunch of young women are disappearing, so in order to solve the mystery our main male character is forced to go undercover as a shy, virginal bride-to-be in hopes that the sexy bad boy will notice him and carry him off to his liar.]

[You know. The only sensible solution to a rash of kidnappings.]

"Please," the old lady begs, tears running down her face as she falls to her knees in front of the trio. "Even if there is no hope for my Liula, this village can't bear to lose another one of our daughters!"

Zoro scratches behind his ear, apparently unmoved by the old ladies tears, as well as the wet faces of the town folks who have gathered all around. It isn't that he doesn't care - he's sure it's hard to misplace a daughter or whatever, though it does seem to him as if it's at least a little the villager's own fault. Why do they keep sending the girls through the forest is they keep disappearing?

"So they're always taken in the forest?" Saga - Zoro's second best friend and training partner - always knows exactly the right questions to ask. He's just good at that kind of detective thing, the way Marines pretend to be. As a crew of bounty hunters, they may not be the most well known or most feared (they certainly aren't their richest) but between him, Kuina, and Saga, Zoro figures they have all the right talents to work their way up to the top, wherever that might be.

For Saga, Zoro is sure that eventually means becoming a marine or, as his overly dramatic friend would put it, "becoming a sword for justice!" Or that's what he says it if you get enough sake in him, though honestly it doesn't even take one drink to notice the look he gets in his eyes whenever a bunch of men in their clean white uniforms go marching pass. Not even Kuina's mocking their stupid insignia ("why do you want a shirt with a pair of boobs drawn on. I've got the real thing and they're nothing but annoying!" / "For the last time, the insignia is the mighy gull! Not a pair of blue boobies!" / "As someone who has seen plenty of both, trust me, no seagull looks like that..not unless it's had some major work done.") or Zoro pointing out he's never seen a single marine carrying a shuangshou jian, which he thinks is the far better argument. After all, Saga wouldn't want to have to get rid of his beloved sword, would be? It's the one thing he has from his parents....

If there is one person who would understand how important a sword can be, it would be Kuina, but he thought Saga would be next.

"Sounds like instead of worrying about your bridal traditions, you should have worked to make sure these girls could protect themselves," Kuina says, her voice low and steady, but there is an undercurrent of anger there. One Zoro finds adults often miss, due to Kuina's former, almost old fashioned, language and proper samurai etiquette.

Her father always said there was more to being a Kenshi than just holding a sword. Unfortunately, one of the things he believes makes for a Kenshi is....

Kuina stands up, bowing politely to the very same adults she'd just been so angry at. "We will find this pirate who is taking your lost daughters and ensure this does not happen again," she promises, and Kuina promises something it's like you can see the threads binding her, holding her to her word. It makes Zoro sit up straighter, happy to be her rival. "If what these girls want is to be married, they deserve to make that choice without some creep ruining it for them."

Kuina's small, and because of that, most everyone underestimates her. Only to be surprised when the girl they had just been laughing at is suddenly behind them, the sharp white blade of Wado Ichimonji pressed against their kidney, with Tenno Megumi clashing against their own steel, stopping them from being able to make a move. She's a fast, technical fighter and a slow, methodical thinker. She probably knows more about Zoro and Saga then the two boys know about themselves and, honestly, Zoro is alright with that. He doesn't even know where he'd keep all that knowledge, but Kuina seems to do a good

They had only come to this island to pick up some Nobody, Kuro of 1000 Cats or something stupid like that, but they had barely dragged him and his crew of losers to the local Marine base when an older woman, face wrinkled and worn from sadness, had grabbed a hold of Zoro's arm.

These people were desperate, and the small four man marine outpost they have seemed unable ("or unwilling," Kuina had muttered only once Saga was distracted - they didn't need to have that fight again) to help against what seemed to be some knd of curse.

"Qell it's not a curse," Saga decided immediately, the three of them gathering just outside of the town hall were the citizen had plead their case. And as much as Zoro hates being distracted from his goal, his one true dream, he has to admit their pleas were.... heartfelt.

"Hmm," Kuina puts her hand to her chin, her foot digging into her dirt as she stares down, her brain trying to ferment a plan of some kind. At the very least a place to begin. "It seems he only comes out when there is a bridal procession. What should we do?"

There is silence as they all contemplate this impossible task.

"I know!" It's Saga who gets a these first, slapping his fist in his hand, and with his eyes burning so bright, Kuina and Zoro are immediately doubtful. This is going to be one of those ridiculous plans like in all his marine centered manga. As far as Zoro has seen, Marines never actually do any sort of undercover work or whatever. They just stupidly fire bullets at things and hope one hits. But that's not how Saga sees them, not at all.

Saga gives a sharp, proud smile, his support of his own plan entirely unwavering. Zoro assumed they would just stare at him until sanity sunk back in but suddenly, he notices Kuina going all stiff, as if a realization had just hit.

"Not it!"

Zoro stumbles some, not used to the usually calm depth that is his number one rival and best friend moving with such a reckless, her arm flying up as of theyre back at the dojo answering questions. "Hey!" He pushes his shoulder back against her. "What are you-"

"Good point!" Saga says, his intensity still bur ing as usual. "I am also not it."

Zoro looks between his two friends. His two companions. His twisted sworn brother and sister. And the evil grins that were creeping up along their faces.

"I am NOT-"

Kuina leans in so hard, Zoro ends up squashed up against Saga. "Your mouth says no," the older girl teases, sluttering her eyelashes in a way that Zoro didn't understan. Was that supposed to make him do something? "But your eyes - and my blades," she adds that bit with a pat at the swords at her side. "Say yes."

At his other side, Saga gives him an unnaturally bright smile despite the narrowed eyes glare Zoro is giving both kenshi. "You really should try and look happier. It's your wedding day after all!" He teased, nd Zoro can only grumble.

He did call not it last, damnit.

"We will just have to set up a convincing bridal procession then!" Saga pulls back, striking what Zoro feels is an all too excited pose considering the fate they've just sealed for him. "Kuina and I will act as guards, while Zoro gakes place of the bride to be. We'll put the whole thing together and make it look just like a real bridal procession! That's how we will draw this scoundrel out!"

The two npeople only seem mildly confused by the bounty hunter's plan. Zoro isn't sure what the confusion is aboit. He's hardly looking forward to this mess, but he does think Saga and Kuina did an excellent job at setting the trap and as for his part, well, he can only hide one of his three swords under the bridal gown, but with the other two concealed in the carriage in easy reach, he doesn't imagine he'll habe any difficulty grabbing for them in time. The whole plan is actually one of their better thought out schemes, so he isn't sure why the villagers take moment to get on board, but eventually they do. They even lend them materials to help make the ruse undetectable.

"I've got this!" Kuina declares in reference to the dress. She isn't much for fu-fu clothes herself - it's all so much fabric for so little practical coverage, and it always has at least one part that hangs in the weirdest way. However, she's had years of practice learning to make men's clothes for her properly so they aren't baggy and in her way and also wouldn't.... disrespect her father (Zoro knows she would never wish to voice this, but he has also seen her on holy days with his image. Holding it as tight as if he were a long honored ancestor. Looking to the stars as if they would grant her his approval.) Plus, she definitely knew what looked good on girls. Just because she doesn't wear fancy kimono and jewelry and other useless pretty things doesn't mean Kuina can't APPRECIATE what other women look like in such elaborate get ups.

It's the make up where they run into something of an issue.

"Katatsumuri," Saga asks, holding out their den den mushi. Him and the snail wince together as Kuina gets angry enough to break the brush shed be using to try and apply Zoro's lipstick, yelling that it was a subpar tool unworthy of its title and a shame to whoever forged its.... it's.... it's stupid hairs or whatever! Grr!

"Can you play a make up tutorial," Saga requests, sitting cross legged in front of Zoro. Luckily, he is very good at copying moves even from videos. Maybe this is why he appreciates marine uniforms so much, Zor thinks, cause they're all neat and orderly and it feels like you have to keep your make up neat and orderly as well.

So with Zoro looking appropriately alluring ("You're a vision," Saga promises, his breathing just a little too rushed considering they haven't even started on the hard part of the quest just yet. "You almost look decent," Kuina laughs, making sure Katatsumuri takes a picture for future reference) they gather everything else they will need for their little nightie deceit. The procession, the carriage, the spooky nighttime forest that the temple lies in the middle of for some reason no one could adequately explained.

"just sit tight," Kuina whispers from the side of her mouth as they walk deeper and deeper into the darkness. "I'm sure this willl-"

"Kuina!?" Zoro knows he is supposed to be sitting there straight and well behaved, just the way he's practiced with that overly nice girl - the one who kept getting a little bit touchy, like Zoro couldn't figure out how to hold his hands just by LOOKING at her; there is no reason to touch - but at his friend's sudden silence he couldn't help but peak out of the carriage window.

Nothing but wind and leaves and darkness.

"Zoro," Saga growls from the other wise..Zoro turns to try and ask him to go check on Kuina. That's what he should do, rather than break character. Good call. "Keep on guar-"

Silence.

Suddenly there is nothing.. No horses. No Marines pretending to be maid in waiting. No guards. No friends. Just darkness, and a low, soft whisper of the wind. Something dark, something.... stirring.

Zoro licks his lips, that awful taste of the lipstick coming off with it. He reaches for the trap door where his two other swords are stored when -

Click.

The door opens a light storm: the fall of rain, wind sweeping through the trees, dark hair, striking eyes, and such long and slender fingers reaching out for him, not grabbing, but making an offering. Holding his hand out for the supposedly young and virginal bride.

And suddenly Zoro can feel it in his chest. This lightness. This heat.

He fumbles, trying to find the damn torch. Where were his matches? Why is he going for the stupid candle and not his swords? What is wrong with him?

"I can't help but notice," the strange is silhouettes in the darkness, out the moonlight behind him offering any glimpse. But that voice. So dark, like a shadow. Like the way a smooth sake feels sliding down your throat. "You seemed to be in trouble, my little lamb. I hope those ruffians didn't cause you any harm."

As if you didn't send those ruffians, only Zoro's voice is entirely gone. The boy's golden eyes pierce through him like an arrow. Where is his voice? It seems the only part of him that can speak is his heart, and that is beating so loud it filled the entirety of the carriage

It only gets louder when the stranger's lips quirk upward, the water running down his hair, his pale skin, sliding around his lips. Making them shimmer and shine in the low candle light. "What a remarkable beauty. How could anyone wish to hurt such an angel?" His hand is still hanging there, half way between them. Zoro licks his lip subconsciously, the water clinging to the stranger's lower lip making him want....

No! He's meant to focus! He is here on a mission, not some silly game.

Yet the way the stranger smiles does leave his stomach feeling all sorts of silly. Are those his finger tips shaking as he reaches out, gently entrusting his hand to the stranger.

Immediately he is being pulled forward, so close it Zoro can't keep the gasp escaping his lips. He's not used to these shoes, there's far too much of them for starters, and the heels catches on the fabric of his dress and-

As he falls foward, the stranger moves in close and through the low light of the moon and a single candle, those gorgeous golden eyes stare right into Zoro's soul, soft and yet certain as he reaches out, easily pulling Zoro into his arms.

Pressed against the man's chest, Zoro understands why so many of those manga he finds Saga hiding away have girls pressed up to marines just like this. The way his heart beats in Zoro's ear, the protective warmth of his arms....

"Where did-"

"You men seem to have run off," The stranger says, holding him close. The hold is gentle and yet formal, as of purposefully being polite and careful with him. "I believe they were trying to lure the attackers away."

He knows that hadn't been the plan, but he can only stare up at the stranger, his cheeks so warm he thinks of lifting the veil, just to get some fresh air. But surely if he saw him that would give them game away.

"Your physical beauty must only be surpassed by that of your heart, to have such a loyal and fearless guard. I would hate to see their bravery go to waste. I don't have much, certainly not lodging worthy of such a precious gem, but there is a small temple nearby that will offer us shealter. I can keep you safe until your entourage regroups. That is, if you will allow it."

His golden eyes are staring down at our hero, soft and intense all at once, and they leave his tongue feeling equally confused: heavy and light at the same time.

"You have my permission to do with me as you please." Zoro hadn't practiced any sort of script, the plan had been to attack and words had seemed unnecessary. He still isn't sure where such a sentiment even came from! What a silly thing to say! He must look like a gu-

Wait, that isn't the what Zoro is supposed to be concerned about. Why does he even care if he looks like a fool!?

Even as he tries to hide himself against the stranger's chest, he catches a glimpse of that smirk. That horribly cocky, confident turn of his lips that leaves the poor kenshi melting, all the heat not coloring in his face pooling much, much lower.

"I shall take you with me then, beauty-ya, and act as your guide until we can reunite you with your proper assembly."

"Mmm," Zoro mutters, voice high and breathless. Perhaps to ensure the act is believable? "Take me with you, unite with me, yes..."

Just an act, that's all. Right, that's why he's doing this. To go along with the plan.

That's why he puts up no struggle as he suddenly finds himself lifted up into the strangers arms. The man's hat keeps his face mostly hidden, but Zoro is sure to memorize the edges of his cheeks, his lips and chin where rivlets of water drip from his dark skin. The beautiful dark ink that covers the strong arms that have Zoro safely held against his chest.

All for the sake of the mission, Zoro reminds himself, leaning his cheek against the stranger's wet shirt, tucking in closer to his warmth as a blue light suddenly involves the both of them.

"Shambles."

And then the forest is quiet, nothing but an abandoned carriage left behind.

OK look I just watched One Piece: Film Gold, and I just need to talk about the OUTFITS for a second here… specifically Zoro’s.

They’re all good, don’t get me wrong, but the CATSUIT

I mean…

Just imagine Zoro wearing this with Law’s pirate flag on the back as a uniform… Law wouldn’t get anything done.

Or Mihawk seeing this? He would absolutely HAVE to fight Zoro the second he saw what he was wearing… obviously to test how far Zoro has come along - no other reason

I mean come on! He’s literally doing the Black Widow pose here!

Sorry for yelling but no one ever seems to talk about this outfit so I needed to talk to SOMEONE about how good this look is!!

It's not just a shared fashion sense, Zoro actually has a lot in common with Black Widow. They both like to pretend they're the Realistic & Serious Faced teammate, but neither of them bother to zip their "tactical" cat suit more than halfway up at any time, and spend a ridiculous amount of time giving all their gear/attacks thematically matching names. To be fair, are YOU going to be the baddie who informs them that, actually, no one really notices any of that since they tend to be busy, you know, running for their lives....

This reminded me that I currently have roughly 400 screencaps from One Piece: Gold on my phone. I keep meaning to write up some reviews of the movies, since I know a lot of fans don't bother to watch them, but at the same time so many are....

Well, what's a good way to put this?

Oh, right: Gay As Fuck (For Zoro). THAT'S the good way to say it, the good and accurate way. The One Piece films may not be canon, but they are definitely Gay As Fuck (For Zoro).

It's sort of one of their running themes.

[Okay, so I know I'm a Zoro fan and have the habit of making things more about him than they really are but also.... I didn't write this dialogue. You can't pin that on me.]

The cat suit definitely gets points for looking like how I imagine Zoro would look if Law put him in one of those baggy boiler suits he has for the rest of the crew. He has every intention of keeping Zoro-ya safe from the wandering gaze of all those perverts out there (*openly glaring at Mihawk*) who would use any excuse to oogle HIS Kenshi-ya. Actually, multiple movies have provided a great way to illustrate Law's relationship with how Vice Captain Zoro looks wearing a Heart Pirate uniform.

Like, Law went for Heart Of Gold:

Something that would probably protect Zoro-ya from the cold, you know, and also all those longing gazes and eager hands and stretchy arms and - maybe they should just get Zoro-ya a suit made of sea stone. And less of a suit more of a cage.

But it's Zoro, and no matter how much you bundle him up, you can't contain that much hotness (or that much muscle).

So he ends up more Stampede:

[For the record, I am still pissed that they have us a movie based around pirate*con - which anyone who has been to a convention can tell you are basically hook up parties but with much better costumes - that included Law as a central character and even put Zoro in what is CLEARLY some All Hearts Cosplay a knock off Hearts Pirate uniform, and yet the boys almost never actually interact. That's how you know the threat is real: Law didn't get on the SunnyGo, take one look at Zoro and immediately stop mid-sentence. "It's more dire than I had assumed, Mugiwara-ya." *Eying Zoro up and down* "I'm working on new strategy, and I will need to borrow your swordsmen. It's the only way to make me come. Make him come to us. Whatever. ROOOOOM! SHAMBLES!"]

[Oh, but don't worry. Law may not have shown up just to stand there openly staring at Zoro's ass, but at least one sword welding former shichibukai has that covered. Because these movies are just so very, very gay for Zoro.]

I imagine Bepo tried doing that thing up so many times the zipper eventually came off. Well, someone has to look out for their little kenshi's modesty! Sure, it's a little less dressed than Law would like others to see Zoro-ya (and a little more dressed than Law wants him) but he's in uniform and it fits and shows off Law 's jolly Roger, that's what's important.

Skip ahead two years and Zoro has filled out quite a bit. Like.... quite a bit. Honestly, no one even expects that old boiler suit of his to even fit anymore.

But Zoro isn't going to eschew his captain's jolly Roger just because he got a little bigger and the stupid suit a little smaller (Penguin: That's not what happened....) So he pulls it on and, hey, look! It's a bit tight in some places but it still fits.

It fits like Gold:

No, seriously, look at his arms in this shirt. Whoever made these clothes was definitely working with a devil's fruit because that suit looks like sin on him and makes people wet and weak.

Of course, on a story telling level, I have to be objective and point out that the outfit was clearly a mistake. Just look at the way it hugs that boy's muscles. It makes it impossible NOT to emphasize with the bad guy. After all, given half the chance, I can't promise I also wouldn't try and kidnap Zoro and ask him to "repay his debt" to me on my private island where prostitution is definitely legal.

A ZoLaw AU Nobody Asked For

Modern AU where Zoro is out walking his neighbors/roommates new puppy - it's name is Chopper which isn't half bad since it reminds him of something you would be with a sword, but the pup itself is just way too enthusiastic about everything and keeps thinking it can try and drag him around - acting all put out about being asked when suddenly he looks up and there is The Sexiest Man He's Ever Seen, smirking smiling at him and all, "Hey there, cutie, what's your name?"

Mn? Not exactly what Zoro had been expecting, but the guy is also hot enough for him to give another try. "Zoro."

"Ahh, Zoro-ya." Sexy Stranger crotches down, and it only just occurs to Zoro that he isn't the one who caught this boy's attention at all. He gives Chopper a quick Look. First Timers luck, that's all. "Aren't you a cute one?" Scratching behind the puppy's ear, giving him a smile that really should be reserved solely for humans, and preferably in the bedroom. "Does he know any tricks? Can you sit Zoro-ya? What a good boy!"

Zoro just roles his eyes. Sitting down isn't that impressive. "Thanks, I guess."

Then looking up and smiling definitely smirking at Zoro. "Your puppy-ya seems well behaved, too."

Huh? Wait, what did he just-

By the time Zoro recovers, Mr. Tall, Dark and Sexy Sassy has already strolled off down the street and... Well, damn, of course he'd have a fantastic ass.

"Don't get excited," he warms Chopper when the puppy starts barking up at him. "Most guys don't look like that. And they definitely don't stop just to pet you." No point in Chopper getting his expectations too high.

—💚—

A few days later, Zoro is just put for his morning run when, going pass the dog park, a certain someone draws his attention. It's that same dark haired jerk from the other day, the one with the smirk and the strange comment. Such a weird guy.

Zoro immediately makes a U turn back to the apartment.

Dashing in just long enough to grab Chopper, a leash and, okay, he's gonna ditch the hoodie Luffy gave him with his badass, ridiculous pirate design, going for just his blue tank top. "Oi, I'm borrowing Chopper!" and speeds back to the park.

Chopper just looking up at him from under his arm like, "Yay! It's Zoro!" Because of course in Chopper's mind, Zoro walked him that once and has fed him twice and throw a ball for him a couple times. They are pretty much inseperable soul mates.

Yay! It's walking with Zoro time! He loves this time! This isn't like most walks Chopper takes. Usually, Robin let's him walk on his own, instead of just carrying him but this is fun too -

Oh, are they gonna stop here? It looks like so much fun! Ooh, what are all those smells?? Ah!! And the little kid wants to pet him!! Chopper is so glad Zoro brought him here this place is great and hey look its that nice guy from the other day that Chopper super impressed by showing him his sitting trick. Hey, Zoro should get Chopper to show him again, bet he likes it just as much! Here, Chopper is gonna sit now, did he notice? Did he? Did-

EEEEEE!

Eee!!! THERE'S A GIANT SNOWY MOUNTAIN AND IT'S ALIVE!!! ZORO SAVE HIM!!!!! HE'S TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!!

Zoro trying to flirt while Chopper, despite barely coming up past his ankles, is making a valiant attempt to leap straight upward and into Zoro's arms.

Zoro, Zoro, it's gonna eat him, save him! Why isn't Zoro saving him!?!? Oh my god what if Zoro can't see it!!! What if only Chopper can see it!!! Oh my god oh my god Zoro there is a snow mountain monster and it's going to eat them all and probably Robin next! ZOOOORRRROOOO!

Zoro: *deflecting Chopper from jumping up on him* Chopper, what are you barking about?

Standing just behind Law is a older Great Pyrenees, who is very much suspicious of this newcomer who has just coming bounding into his dog park and right up to his captain. He hasn't done anything, but if the little raccoon creature tries jumping on his captain like that, he would be forced to take action.

Law: *Gives Bepo a look* Bepo, no.

Bepo just sort of collapses on himself, head dropping, and you can almost where the, "sorry, captain"..

Zoro is trying to pry Chopper off his face. "What the hell!?"

And Law just calmly takes the panicked puppy. "Is this his first time at the dog park?"

"What? I don't know. Maybe? My roommate only got him like a week ago."

"He's probably just a little nervous." Setting the (heart racing, eyes wide OHMYGOD HES SACRIFICING ME TO THE MOUNTAIN!!! ZOROO!!!!!) racoon looking puppy on the ground. "Bepo, this is Chopper-ya." Bepo looking up, giving Chopper a few exploritory sniffs. "He's new. Why don't you get your toy, and help Zoro-ya look after him?"

And Bepo gives a low, gruff sound and slowly pads off to a yellow box, pulling out a squeaky penguin you that he brings back to put on front of Chopper.

Chopper: stare, heart beat about 5000 per minute

Bepo: Stare, perfectly calm

Chopper: stare, heart gonna explode

Bepo: reaches forward

Chopper: DEATH IS COMING FOR ME

Bepo: *squeaks toy*

Chopper: *Still huddled up, awaiting his fate*

Chopper: *Surely gonna die any moment* ... *What is that squeak from though?*

Chopper: .... Reaches out and nudges toy

It SQUEAKS!

It's okay, everything is okay! The mountain isn't going to eat them, Zoro! Chopper made sure it was safe and look now he has this cool toy to play with look Zoro it makes a noise isn't that awesome? Zoro look! Oh my god it does it when he chews it too! This is amazing!

Zoro: Oh, err, hey, you're really good at that.

Law: *Shrugs* It's generally part of being a vet, being decent with animals. I'll take it he's not yours, then.

No, but you can be if you want

Not me checking your blog twice a day to see if you’ve updated…

Anyways, here is a prompt that you are by no means obligated to fulfill:

A/B/O Zoro and Law, with Law taking Zoro on as his swordsman despite his being an omega. He’s unsure about having an omega in his crew, until their first fight with him. (Zoro beating people up awakens something in him) (Feel free to add in Mihawk)

Or honestly anything with A/B/O I just like it as a plot point.

Who Has Three Swords And Doesn't Give A Fuck What You Think?

Part One

All three of the katanas are cheap, modern creations, likely made by a group of apprentices, one working for one of those mass production operations. The kind of Marines use (looking closer, Law is sure that at least one of them is marine made). They're saya are plain and scratched up despite being cared for, and the tsuka are simple wood - no decorations are markings. They were obviously mass produced, swords met to arm men without real skill, or to be picked up by someone with no other choice in weaponry.

Yet when Law reaches for the handle, he finds his wrist immediately being held in a tight grasp.

He meets the narrowed, sharp eyes of the little omega with a smirk, showing off his teeth, and his amusement that the boy would be so bold. "Is there a problem, omega-ya?"

"Don't call me that," the boy snarls, tossing Law's arm away with some force, though not enough to bother Law. "And don't touch my swords."

Law chuckles, amused by the spirit of the boy, despite having only just been pulled out of the freezing cold north sea a couple of hours earlier. He sure had a lot of fire, for someone still wrapped nice in tight and shivering beneath Law's fur blanket. "So rude to your host, omega-ya, and all over a sword. It's not like you can make use of all three."

The boy snarls at him, open and unafraid, the steel of his eyes like twin blades wishing to sink into Law's chest, but they only leaving the older alpha pirate grinning over the small, drowned creature's mettle. Such a fierce little thing, he doesn't seem to comprehend how lucky he is to have been fished out of the icy seas by an alpha who finds him more amusing then desirable. By all rights, he should be dead, food for the fish or a frozen corpse floating into of the wreckage he insisted was his boat. There are no other ships around, and even if he had held on long enough for another to come along, in these waters he would have been nothing more than an easy catch for slavers, Marines, and pirates, none of whom were likely see him as anything more than a lost little thing they could sell or use or who they would make sure "repaid their kindness" the way only an omega could.

Well, once they cleam him up, got some of the grime and dirt off him, maybe got some food in him depending on how nice they were feeling. And how they liked their boys. Oh, and beat some basic respect and fear into him, of course. You couldn't have such a young alpha glaring at anyone that way.

The fact that he didn't care that this is Law's ship, the alpha that had brought him on board just made it all the better.

"I told you," the boy sneers, or at least he gives it a damn good try. The way his teeth keep chattering rather undermines his attempts to look so tough. That and the way he's snuggled up under the blanket, sitting on top of the medical cot Law had teleported him on. He looks like nothing more than a patch of green grass a top a small little lump of furry snow. Plus, of course, those steely eyes. "They're all mine. It's how I fight."

Right, he had said as much, right before passing out when Law had first brought him aboard. Law might have thought he was dead, he could barely even smell him, but the moment he reached over the boy's hand had shot out, just like now. "Leave them, they're mine." That's all the boy managed before passing out again.

Helped along by Law's ability. Well, he wasn't about to waste time arguing with some kid when he was trying to save his life.

Now he's awake, and he seems to inherently know Law was to blame for his earlier state. Law hadn't laid a wrong hand on him, only scanned the boy for injuries, then had his crew help clean him off and get him into some clean, dry clothes (a boiler suit about two times to big for him). Bepo had brought him the blanket, along with some soup the boy had drank with worrying speed. He been fine enough accepting the gifts from the mink, but the second Law approached he could see the kid's guard go right back up.

Not that Law could blame him. The only kind of omega likely to be trusting giving the boy's circumstances would be a dead omega.

"Keep your takemitsu," Law teases, smirking again at the insulted looks that crossed the boy's face. "We're two days from land, should be enough time to figure out which one you plan to trade for food."

Law strolls our of the room, smile still tugging at his lips as he listens to the boy protesting that he uses all three swords, damnit, he's a kenshi. What a strange little omega. Shame Law can't imagine him lasting a week off the boat.

But it's a big ocean, you never know. Maybe some poor alpha will find themselves hopelessly in love with the wild, rude little thing, strange as he is. In two days, he won't be Law's problem to worry over.
