I'm so sorry, loss is so horrible I hope you're managing okay

I think I'm kind of starting to come out of the initial fog of grief. I definitely still have a ways to go, but progress is progress.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Losing someone you love is one of the hardest experiences. I lost a dear friend recently and just wanted to offer my condolences and im sorry for your loss. Take the time you need to heal and as much of ot as you need. That wound hurts for a while. Remember to eat and drink and take care of yourself.

It is, especially when they are taken well before their time. I hope you're doing okay as well.

condolences for your loss. I am here for you. (Sorry my sister's death anniversary is almost here so I was stressing about that)

Thank you. Take care of yourself.

praying that everythings going to be okay with you and your family! take all the time and rest you need, liya ^-^

Thank you, that's very kind of you.

Unfortunately, the subjects of the family emergency have both passed away, but the prayers are appreciated for everyone grieving the deeply tragic loss.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Sucks to hear abt that :(

Take all the time you need! Stay safe.

Thank you

Family emergency came up, it's probably going to be pretty quiet here for the foreseeable future

Ace: haha! A play fight! This will perk up this marine in an instant! Some playful banter hehehehehehe!

Liberty: (is going for the vital organs)

Ace is having a grand old time, meanwhile Liberty is wishing she could stab him to death lol

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Ace is so funnyyy I can so see him being like “wow me and liberty are having such a great bonding expirence hehehehe” and liberty is like “if i could get away with punching a hole through your chest i would do it.”

Really hoping liberty doesn’t just like. Take teasing lying down, and that behavior we see of them during the snippet is indicative of how they handle “friendly banter.” (If I were in their shoes I’d be flinging us both off the bow of the ship. Don’t touch my fucking shirt???)

Lmao yeah in his mind this was a fun little way to get her to loosen up, but in hers this was basically a declaration of war

But yeah, while this is a cut scene and won't be in the official story, this is still an accurate depiction of her character in terms of how she handles teasing from her perceived enemies. She grew up in military barracks and has the personality to show for it.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Chapter 5 is shaping up to be another long one. Here's a scene I had to cut due to it not segueing well into the next scene, as well as creating some tonal dissonance with the ptsd war flashbacks that happen later in the chapter. It cuts off abruptly and isn't proofread, but I thought it might help hold y'all over until I finish the chapter.

Context: You've been forced to eat a meal with the crew for the first time, and Ace is a menace about it.

Ace jerks, then sits up blearily. Bits of food fall off his face, but more of it sticks. He blinks a few times, then yawns. You expect him to resume eating like he had all the other times before, but it would seem that there was officially too much food caked on to his face for him to ignore. His hand feels around for, you assume, a napkin. When he doesn't find one, he turns to you.

Again, you make assumptions. You assume that he's going to ask if you have a napkin. You know, a normal human approach to the current situation. But Ace is not “normal” by any stretch of the imagination.

Instead, the ill-mannered weirdo grabs your shirt and starts to bring it to his face.

“What the hell do you think you're doing?! Quit!” You are fortunately faster than he is, and you're able to yank back your shirt before he ruins it. Well, technically it isn’t your shirt. The one you had been wearing when you were abducted had gotten blood splattered all over it, something that had yet to be explained to you. Elise had scrounged up an extra shirt for you to wear since you didn’t have a change of clothes. Still, you didn’t want it to be dirtied unnecessarily.

Your outburst appears to have startled Ace. Almost as if he couldn't have possibly anticipated that someone would object to his behavior. You can practically hear the gears in his sleep addled mind turning as he processes your words. Then his lips curl into a smirk.

Oh no.

His hands shoot out and grab onto your shirt again, “What? You don't really expect me to just sit here like this, do you?”

He better fucking not do what you think he's going to do. You snap at him, “I expect you to at least pretend to be civilized! Let go of me!” You suddenly find yourself grappling with a Division Commander. One hand is firmly planted on his shoulder, and you've got a foot on his chair to push him back. He budges slightly, then doubles down and starts pulling you closer.

Chuckles echo around you. You hazard a brief glance at your surroundings only to find everyone openly staring at the scene before them. Oh great. Now you’ve made a spectacle of yourself thanks to this cretin. Your eyes snap back to the cretin in question.

Ace is full on grinning now. “Come on, don't tell me you're afraid of a little food?”

“I'm not afraid of anything, I just don't want you wiping your nasty-ass face on me!” Shit, he's getting way too close! Your other hand that had been previously perched on the table for support flies at him to hold his head back.

The orange hat he's always sporting is knocked from his head in your desperate bid to keep him at bay. You cringe as you feel your hand come into contact with whatever it is that was stuck to his forehead, then push him away with a renewed vigor, “I'm serious! I'll kick your ass!”

Ace's neck was bent back far enough that you knew it had to be uncomfortable, but he didn't give up. “I'd,” he grunts from the exertion of fighting with you, “like to see you try!”

He gets to his feet for more leverage, and you do the same just as quick. You can't be sure if he's holding back, or if the threat of what he's trying to do is fueling the fire within you to fight harder.

You, without warning, shove him back as hard as you can. Instead of being able to correct his stance, your adversary's legs hit the chair behind him. He starts to fall, and for a moment, you feel the invigorating rush of victory within you.

But then reality hits you: Ace is still holding onto you.

Shit! You flail, and your legs buckle as you fall with him. Both of you hit the floor with a dull thud, but the scuffle continues. You try to break his hold, but he's got a damn good grip on both of your arms now. You're kicking blindly in his general direction, but none of them land. You look away from his stupid face long enough to assess how you keep missing an opponent that you're right next to, only to find that your leg is going right through his fiery body.

Instincts kick in, and you violently recoil away from him, “That's cheating, you prick!” Much to your shock, but also relief, you find your pants leg unharmed despite the exposure to his flames.

“Since when were there rules?” Ace seemed more amused by your outrage than anything, which only served to make you angrier.

Before you can send out another volley of useless kicks, you're yanked away from him and up into the air. Your feet are dangling off the ground as you're held up by one arm wrapped around your midsection. Your head whips around to identify you just had the nerve to pick you up like some misbehaving child, only to see Thatch with a scowl on his face.

The fight evaporates from your body in an instant. What the hell were you thinking? No, clearly you weren’t thinking! Fights on Marine bases were strictly prohibited, of course they would be on pirate ships as well! You’re some marine hostage, and you really thought it would be a good idea to get into a fight with a Division Commander?!

is Liberty birthday celebrated, how does akainu celebrate his birthday

I don't know if I'll be able to work this lore I to the story organically, so I'll just dump it here.

I headcanon that Akainu was born into a single parent household with no father ever in the picture (see his very toxic and exaggerated attempts at masculinity). Based on the picture Oda drew of him as a child, it can be assumed that they lived in extreme poverty, so birthdays weren't much of a celebration. His mom couldn't really afford to do much more than wish him a happy birthday, and maybe steal some candy if she felt like pushing her luck. But then she was killed when pirates raided their village, so he had absolutely nothing after that.

He never bothered to celebrate his birthday going forward, so it genuinely doesn't even occur to him to celebrate Liberty's beyond wishing her a happy birthday if he remembers. It's not even necessarily malicious on his part, it just doesn't cross his mind.

But the day doesn't go completely neglected. Kizaru and Sentomaru will get her little gifts to celebrate. Nesca and Sven tried to make her a cake one year, but neither of them can bake, so it was borderline inedible. Liberty appreciated the effort, though.

HIII what's your thoughts about a reader that's like Furina de Fontaine or Focalors from genshin impact? i would love to see a oneshot of it (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

1. I know literally nothing about genshin impact, and I have no interest in learning about it lol

2. Requests are closed right now

3. Even if requests were open, you neglected to mention which One Piece characters this reader would be interacting with so??? I wouldn't really know what to do with it even if we ignored the first two points

[rollinouttahere-writes]

If i met you at a bread baking competition i would cower in fear.

Don't worry, I'd probably incapacitate myself within the first hour lmao

[rollinouttahere-writes]

your story about akainu becoming a father is really great, i thought for a moment when i saw the latest chapter. since liberty was born from a mother with a bad reputation, was she often/ever bullied by other kids when she was little? if so, how would akainu react, especially if liberty fought the kids who bullied her

Kind of?

The whole situation was kept very hush-hush. Most people don't know who Liberty's mother is. Only Sengoku, the Admirals, and the people involved in the court case know who she is, and all of them were sworn to secrecy. Garp also knows, but that's because he remembers Louise as the woman who stabbed him multiple times when he burst in unannounced to take Ace away.

Akainu is especially dedicated to keeping Liberty in the dark because he doesn't want her to know that she has the Will of D. He feels like it's best put to use when the person who possesses it doesn't know. He thinks it'll keep her from acting out.

Liberty did deal with some teasing from other kids over not having a mother. Kids can be cruel, and some of them went so far as to say that she probably killed her mom when she was born, or that her mother simply didn't want her.

She got into several fist fights over this, and it got a mixed reaction from Akainu. On one hand, he was irritated that she was misbehaving and he would scold her for it. But, a part of him was somewhat understanding and could see the value of Liberty being willing to stand up for herself. All things considered, this was probably the thing he was most reasonable about.

i just found your account through the fanfic "breaking point" and i love it sm i relate to the mc so much and you also did a great job displaying how the mc feels <3 keep up the great work (i feel comforted by the ff ty)

Aaaaaaaa it's so flattering to hear that you find it comforting! The next chapter is exclusively from the mc's point of view, so you'll get to see plenty of their inner thoughts.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Holy shit I'm the anon who asked about how you were doing and baking and stuff and AAAA that sucks so bad but also you are not here to fuck around that bread will get KNEADED wishing you well as that heals omg!!!

Lol thank you! It's slowly getting better. Fortunately I got it looked at not long after the incident, so the doctor is confident that it'll fully heal.

[rollinouttahere-writes]

AH ok so I stumbled across the first chapter of breaking point a while back and my brain went !!! You activated all of my neurons, I’m a sucker for a found family trope and I’ve been checking your blog periodically like a creature looking for crumbs (and 15-20 chapters??? You’re gonna feed us GOOD)

TLDR I’m invested

Thank you, I'm happy that you're enjoying it!
