⭑ ZORO

“oohhh - sanji!”

you moaned, not aware of your own moans until he asked, voice deep, sending radiations of danger.

“what did you just say?”

hands on your waist freezing, the pressure still on there yet it doesn’t continue pulling and pushing your body, stopping fucking you - the sudden silence in the room fills up with heavy breathing.

he holds you by the neck, raising your body up, he makes your back touch his bare chest, back arching - his cock twists inside your walls.

“I asked,” he says, warm breaths hitting your ear as his voice reaches every part of your body as if it's a poison - and he is the only cure for it. “what did you fucking say.”

it wasn’t intentional - you didn’t mean to moan another man’s name in the middle of fucking, but, it came as an instinct.

“z-zoro - I - didn’t mean to - aggh -!”

“didn’t mean to what? moaning another man’s name?” he chuckled, far away from entertaining, just pure annoyance. “moaning sanji’s name while my dick inside you, breakin’ you into half, hm?”

you can’t answer, you can’t even comprehend what to do because you don’t understand why you moaned sanji’s name. however, zoro knows you more than you do, and owns every knowledge about the hidden meanings behind your actions, words, and looks - he isn’t dumb, he knows how you close your thigh around sanji whenever he cooks, watching him from the corner of your eyes as you bite your lips without even noticing it.

it is not that zoro doesn’t get jealous, he does and he will prove it right away yet he wants to satisfy you in every way he can - he can see the truth behind the whole thing; you want the full attention that you try to make him angry with all these acts, and you have no idea that you’re doing all that only for him - for zoro so that he can get possessed around you.

he’s a pleaser though, for you, and he will plan your little game, giving what you want.

“maybe I should call him,” he says, and whimpers when your pussy clenches around his length on its own - pure instinct, pure satisfaction. he smirks, pride runs in his veins, he really knows you - each hit point, each desire, everything. he leaves your body, bending it over again, ass getting higher.

he begins to fuck you so slow that you swear you will lose your mind anytime soon as his cock goes out of your horny clit until his tip touches your folds, only to shove it in again with a hard yet effective thrust.

weren’t his hands holding you by the hips, you would hit the wall in front of your face - moaning louder than before, afraid that the crew will hear you as you get fucked by furious zoro.

“ohh, I definitely should call him. wanna make him watch your pretty face as I fuck your hungry pussy for my cock,” he says, thrusting faster each passing time, making your hands grip the sleeves under you. “would you like that?” he asks, balls hitting every right spot of your ass cheeks, thrust begins to mixture of both pain and pleasure.

“ohhh - zoro - zoro -!”

“that’s right baby. roronoa zoro,” he kneels down, abdomen touching your back, dick reaches the end of your pussy, a hand grips your hair, pulling it harshly, “scream my fucking name louder, wanna hear it, wanna everyone hear it as well.”

“‘m sorry, zoro, ‘m so sorry -“

“oh please,” he mocks you, leaving your hair, only to hold you by the neck this time, pushing you onto the mattress lower, cries rush onto your face. soaking, you moan his name over and over again. “you’re not sorry at all. you’re just a slut, aren’t you?” his fingers play with your ass hole, sending a new sense of satisfaction into your body, “a slut only for my cock though,” he whispers into himself, slapping your ass, earning a scream out of your pretty parted lips.

then, he turns you around, and the cock swifts inside you - standing above you, he puts one of his hands beside your head, and the other one grips your neck completely, making you look up to his face - he finds the pace that he knows that will make you see starts.

eyes sparkling with lust as you look at him, half-closed, blurry already, dry tears on the cheeks, chest raising up and down rapidly while his cock fucks your abused clit harder, and deeper. “yes my slut,” he says, possessiveness can be heard through his voice, “look at who’s fucking you right now. not luffy, not that shitty waiter sanji either. just roronoa zoro. who’s fucking you? whose pussy is this? say it.”

“roro - ohhhh, shit - roronoa z-zoro!”

he nods with such pride that he smirks, still furious, but enjoying this so much that he decides to fuck you in every position he can until the whole crew knows you’re getting fucked by him in his damn room, crying only his name. “that’s it my pretty slut, you will never forget it. from now on, I will dig it into your dizzy head so that your legs will open on their own whenever you see me.”

“please, yes, yes, zoro!” going all mindless, you let him do what he wants - after all, this is what you wanted, isn’t it?

“pretty slut. gotta make you know who you belong to.”

⭑ LUFFY

“fuuuck - usopp!” the words - the moan comes out of you without your control, making his head higher up.

“huh? say somethin’ baby?” he asks, not stopping eating you from the back, fingers joined, brows raised, curiously looking at you.

“‘m so sorry, luffy - I - I wasn’t thinking straight- I - ohhh!” you try to say but your words are cut by his fingers scissoring inside you.

“oh,” he says, sounding not surprised but excited, chuckling even as he adds, “I didn’t hear it wrong then. you really moaned his name - while my tongue is deep inside you, fingering this beautiful pussy that I thought clenching because of how good I am fucking you.”

between your loud whimpers mixing with moans, you begin to say how sorry you are. you weren’t aware of it until the moment usopp’s name left your mouth. you knew it was luffy who was making you week on the knees, who’s have your legs wrapped around his bare shoulders, your pussy wide open, hands on his curly hair as you pull them whenever his tongue and fingers reach your g-spot - only he can fuck you like this, you know it! but why you moaned usopp’s name, why you pictured him in your mind beside luffy are the questions you have no answers to.

“I don’t know what happened to me - ohhh - luffy, ‘m so sorry - fuuck!”

both moaning with pleasure and crying with pure guilt, you try to hide your face from luffy, a hand positioned on your half of the face, not looking at him, afraid that you made him upset and disappointed yet luffy is there to prove you wrong when he leaves your pussy, gets up, holding you by the chin as he lowers down, making both of you hit the bed underneath you.

hovering over you, he makes you see his smiling face, lips shining because of your soaking, eyes sparkling.

“oh, pretty baby, look at me,” he says, caressing your chin, “I am not mad. not at all. if you want to bring another man into the bed -“

“no, no - I don’t - I really don’t!” you protest, so shy at the thought. you only want luffy, you know that, and you want to apologize to him for being such a greedy girl, “you’re my one and only luffy. I only want you.”

he chuckles softly, shaking his head, fingers finally finding your aching pussy again, playing with it as he says, “‘s okay. if I am the only one you want, then, let me fuck you that your whole body remember I am the one and only for it.”

he keeps his promises, fucking you until the only thing you have on your mind is him - nothing more, nothing less.

yet he doesn’t leave you without teasing you, giving you wet kisses, markings, and even slaps from here to there - enjoying seeing you all shy yet greedy for him.

⭑ SANJI

“oh yes, yes, yes, right there - so good so good - please more, zoro, please!”

“hm? what?” he asks in a surprised tone, hands stopping playing with your breasts, tongue staying on the hardened nipple without moving, eyes looking up to your confused face from where he stays on - your exposed chest.

he smirks, a bit of jealousy and entertainment at the same time, realizing you have no clue about what you said a second ago, legs push him closer - wanting his cock deep inside your warm walls to start moving again because you can’t understand why he has stopped fucking you.

“oh my beautiful madam,” he teases, “can’t even realize he moaned another man’s name while having my cock warm inside her pussy!”

your eyes widen after you comprehend the words he’s saying.

you swear lowly, hands touch his well-built chest, heat rushing all over your face, and you begin to feel guilt blooming inside your abdomen which has twisted.

“sanji - I am so sorry, I didn’t- I wasn’t -“ he cuts you off, right hand finds your neck as long fingers caress your face.

his face so close to yours as he chuckles, “oh, did my pretty lady remember who’s fucking her? not zoro, eh?”

he can’t decide whether he should feel humiliated or amused. yet he doesn’t go hard on you, moving his hips, he earns low moans from you - hands trembling on his chest, the dilemma rises up inside the mind, thoughts about zoro shuts down by sanji, he shoves his dick into you slowly and in one go as if he’s trying to remind you that you’re under him - not zoro’s or any other man’s.

“please, sanji - faster, please!” your please now is filled with his name comes as prays into his ears, the pride increases, giving sanji a chance to play with your cute little mind.

“that’s right baby, sanji - say that again.” his movements become faster, harder.

“sanji, sanji, sanji - aggh, so good -“ with the help of the last decent you have, you moan his name louder and louder, wanna make him prove that you’re mind full of him, giving him the apology he deserves in a way he would like to get; being so noisy that everyone will acknowledge what you’re doing behind the doors.

“would make a mess out of you. you will leave this room barely walking because of me,” his possession is perceivable, burning you alive with the desire for more. hands grip your inner thighs, opening them wider, a painful breath leaves your lungs as you shut your eyes, giving sanji what he wants; devouring you to tame you.

“pretty lady needs a lesson, and I am here to give it.”

⭑ SHANKS

he doesn’t say much, chuckling or laughing would suit him better but he knows you should have known that no one can fuck you like he does when another’s man comes from you - moaning with it instead of saying shank’s name.

holding you from the waist, he takes control of you, not letting you ride him no more, sweats flow from your body into his.

the moment you hear his voice, memories of the past seconds rush to your mind, and you find yourself putting your hands on his shoulders, afraid that he will push you.

contrary to what you expect, shanks moves your hips slowly, forth, and back - his balls feel heavy under you, hair on his lower abdomen makes the pleasure double.

you hold your tears; blurry vision, soaking clit, reddened face, agape mouth - pathetic yet beautiful, he thinks. “daddy’s cock isn’t enough for you, hm, is this the case why you moan another man’s name like that even when you’re,” he takes your chin, making you look down, seeing the mess you’re creating, “cumming onto my cock?”

“it’s not it, shanks!” earn a spank on your ass.

“then what is it princess?” he asks, brows raised, fingers traveling on your body, “am I not fucking you good that you fantasize about another man while bouncing on my lap?”

he lets you say countless sorry words, cries inside his arms, explaining how you didn’t mean to do that, how he’s the only one for you yet he doesn’t seem satisfied, taking a deep breath, raising your body then lowering it down - cock thrusting deep and hard.

throwing your head, you begin to beg for him to forgive you, to fuck you.

“in that case,” he says, putting himself a glass of wine from the small table beside you while still sitting on his favorite chair that he fucks you onto. leaning back, he moves his hand in the air, “fuck yourself on my cock, show me how much you can beg for my cock, then, I will forgive you and fuck your greedy pussy princess,”

he watches you going blank for a moment before beginning to bounce on him, moaning from the throat, hands traveling around your body to make a show only for his eyes.

he whimpers lowly, a smirk lightening his attractive face, eyes burning in fire, “give daddy a show. and when you’re done, I will call for him and make him watch as I fuck you good.”

Hey May i have a scenario of OPLA Sanji encouraging a female reader who's introverted and lacks confidence into following their dreams

yes, you may! Here you go~

Dreams | Sanji x reader (OPLA)

[Request] Summary: Sanji encouraging you to follow your dreams A/N: he's such a sweetheart. It's a bit short sorry!

It started when the strawhats declared their dreams. Everyone, one after one declared their big dreams and ambitions, but when it was your turn, you weren’t sure. It felt stupid to say, but you felt compelled to tell them something, anything, to alleviate the feeling of stares and uncomfortable silence. “um. I guess. I guess my dream is to find my dream?” You fumbled with the hem of your shirt and avoided their eyes. Already then you felt the burning of Sanjis eyes on you. “Don’t worry about it darling, we’ll surely figure something out.” He said with his signature drawl. “Yeah!” Luffy chimed in enthusiastically, pumping up his fist. You just nodded slightly, wanting this to be over and done with.

Ever since that day, Sanji has been, well, pestering you. You expected this from Luffy, who was so unbelievably passionate about personal dreams, but in the end it was Sanji who disturbed you every single time without fail while you were trying to read or do some mindless tasks to keep you occupied on the ship. Like right now for instance. Even on the crow’s nest where you’d tried to escape and find peace from him for once, he’d found you, nose buried in your journal. He grinned at you, arms folded over the edge of the reeling and his head atop them. He’d been chipping away at you bit by bit and that smug little bastard knew it. “Hello Darling.” He purred. “Found you.” Ignoring the way your stomach fluttered you put down your book and scrunched up your face. “Hi Sanji…” He just smirked at your less than enthusiastic tone. Effortlessly he got up and swung first one of his legs and then the other to join you inside the small, enclosed space. Slowly you lowered the journal and closed it, leaving it to rest in your lap. “Why you hiding, gorgeous?” Sanji asked after he settled in next to you, legs crossed. It still made you very flustered whenever he called you a pet name, but he did it so often, that you slowly got used to it. And he did it with other girls too, so that made you calm down more as well. It was just a thing he did, you told yourself. “You know why.” He rolled his eyes, grinning. “Aw come on sugar.” You refused to meet his eyes and instead kept them trained on your lap where you were playing with the pen in your hands. “You still have no idea what it is you want in life?” His voice was gentler this time, trying to coax a reply out of you. “No… I kinda do.” You admitted finally. It just seemed so unattainable you didn’t even know why you should bother, so you kept quiet once you figured it out. “Then what’s the problem?” He was being so sweet, it made it hard to resist doing whatever he wanted you to. But you really didn’t want to tell him and have him get your hopes up. “Nothing, just forget about it.” You sat in silence for a few moments, when he reached out to put a finger under your chin, guiding your face towards his, to make you look at him. “Come on, tell me.” He said softly, removing his finger slowly when you didn’t turn to look away again.  “It’s…”  you started, hesitant. “I mean. It’s not like I can accomplish it anyway. So it doesn’t matter, y’know?” Even though you didn’t turn to look away again, your eyes had trouble staying on his as you confessed your lack of confidence to him and they flitted from place to place to avoid eyecontact. “What are you talking about?” He almost seemed offended. “You don’t think you can do it? Darling, you’re extraordinary! Why are you doubting yourself?” Your cheeks burned and you bit your lips in a nervous habit, still avoiding looking directly into his eyes. “no no no, this won’t do. Come on.” Sanji stood up and held out his hand for you. You took it hesitantly and gentleman he was, he helped you stand up. “You, sweetheart, can do anything. Especially something as important as following your dreams. And if you can’t believe in yourself I will believe in you twice as hard.” His hand was still holding yours and he gave it a squeeze. “If you don’t think you can do it alone, I will help you, hell, the whole team will. We have your back.” He was saying it so emphatically, like he believed every single word. “From the bottom of my heart, I truly think you can achieve anything you set your mind to.” It made it hard not to believe him too, even if just a little bit, for now. Feeling yourself get emotional you tried to lighten the situation and rolled your eyes playfully while you pulled your hand out of his. “Man, you’re a really good cheerleader aren’t you.” Mock-annoyance in your voice as you sniffled, trying to get rid of the tears that were almost on their way. “Only for you.” He winked with a grin. “I mean it though.” You knew he did.

He was still by your side every day after that, cheering you on and helping you to believe in yourself.

[quinloki]

oh yeah no I've def read him & him & him and I kind of thought of it but I wasn't sure if you would have read it

I think that dynamic would work without having to figure out how to broach the like, pseudo-incest with what is essentially step/adopted siblings of them doing anything with eachother lmao they just share the girly they like bc they're both mature (and maybe recreate the shower scene I meannnnnnn… >>) and they're both SOOOO busy with their jobs and stuff and this way you're always taken care of

they def would be sly towards eachother sometimes tho it'd be hilarous

AND YES TWO AGAINST ONE YOURE PROLLY NEVER WINNING EVER BC THOSE FUCKERS ARE SO SMART

I also think pops would really like reader bc reader 'loves' ace (obvi platonic, brotherly love) and ace realizes and FEELS loved and that's something he doesn't get a lot of course pops is gonna favor someone who makes his boy feel loved (smol creature HAHAHAHA ITS LIKE A PET)

god I can just imagine a like competition in both boys heads about who can fluster you the most and you're like obvi so so so spoiled bc I think of them both as very attentive and buy you all the stuffs even tho you're like omg STOP

you're also spoiled by the fucking other brothers cause they think you're cute as a button and if there was any flirting from other brothers I think it'd be funny cause ace would be like….. dude I don't see the appeal and meanwhile you're oblivious to it

I saw you replied to this and I had to make sure I was fully awake before reading bc I knew it was gonna make my brain go brrr and it did if you write this I'll die in the best way you might even get me squealing at work seeing a chapter update (I am very subtle but it happens with birds of a feather sometimes xD)

my brain is all over the place rn but AHHHH fuck Sabo just snuck up on me goddamn this is very much like what happened with marco I just casually was like oh okay I like him and then it spiraled and then you started posting about him and I was like !!!! okay in my brain hardcore then thanks

Sorry to throw more in your brain <3 (I'm not HAHAH even your replies are killing me with the thoughts)

Yeah, I feel like I could dip my toes in a little. Marco and Ace are adopted brothers, and Sabo is Ace's honorary brother with Luffy, and Sabo and Luffy live with the other boys, and they're not like, outsiders, but the vibes/connection between Sabo and Marco isn't really brotherly.

Sabo's a little too independent and I feel like he has weird feelings about Siblings because of Stuffy, or Sterry or whatever the heck that guy's name is.

Sabo and Marco are both pretty open minded on top of it, so they're not likely to get physical with one another without the reader there, but they're not against adding to whatever pleasure is happening, even if it means interacting with one another. Not that it happens often, but I imagine the first time those two share a kiss the reader nearly dies from how hot it is. >.> ("awww, our little bird is all flustered about for being left out." and then you're just drown in kisses against your neck and lips and such.)

I feel like Sabo calls you his little dove, or songbird, and Marco calls you pretty bird, and they'll refer to you as their little bird or sweet dove when it's relating you to both of them.

There's gonna be at LEAST one time where the Reader gets a leg up on Marco and Sabo - and probably only because Thatch, Izou and Ace help her set everything up. XD Some kind of surprise or something and they both come home at the same time and are just agog by it and it's her victory until they pick their jaws up off the floor and turn the tables XD

Similar as they are, Sabo's a little meaner behind closed doors, enjoying teasing and overstimming and edging and please do cry oh so sweetly for him, but just for him, no one else is allowed to make you cry.

Marco's a little sweeter, he loves to hear you sing for him, struggling in whatever binds or sensory deprivations he's got going.

The two of them together are overwhelming, which is a reason why most of your forays with either are 1:1 and not 2:1.

One of the first real issues between the three of them is Shanks, who is just as sweet on you as he is on Marco, and that first little pang of jealously when he starts wooing Marco that the reader feels is the first "oh, I'm jealous." A little self-doubt like maybe you shouldn't try to get near Marco cause Shanks is closer to his age, and gorgeous (and maybe you shouldn't get near Sabo cause Koala is closer in age, and gorgeous)

>.>

[fictionthorn]

SFW Alphabet: Monkey D. Luffy

CW/TW: - None Word count: - 1.0k

Activities - What are their favorite things to do with you? How do you spend your free time?

Honestly Luffy likes doing everything with you. But if he had to pick something he'd probably pick fishing. Even if you don’t like fishing, he likes when you hang out and talk with him while he fishes.

Boo! - How do they feel about surprises, giving and receiving?

Luffy loves being surprised by you and surprising you. Everyday with him usually has at least one surprise.

Comfort - How do they comfort you when you’re upset? When the tables turn, do they come to you, or do they try to handle it themselves?

He will crack jokes, make silly faces, anything he can think of to get you to smile.

If he’s the one upset you are the first person he comes to. He knows whatever he is going through you will be there to help him through it.

Dance - Do they like to dance with you? How good of a dancer are they?

He loves to dance with you even though he’s not very good at it. But it doesn’t matter. Dancing with him is always a fun time.

Excitement - How do they act when they’re excited? What excites them?

When Luffy gets excited he can come off as a bit immature, but that’s just how he is. He doesn’t like to take things too seriously if he doesn’t have to.

Everything about the pirate life excites him.

Future - What are their plans for the future? Do they see themselves getting married, having kids?

For a long time Luffy’s only plan for the future is to be king of the pirates and that hasn’t changed since he met you. Now he just imagines himself as king with you at his side.

Gifts - What do they give you as presents? How often do they get you gifts?

Luffy likes to give you things that remind him of you which can translate to some very random presents.

He gave you a cool looking rock he found once. When you asked him how a rock reminded him of you he said it was because you’re the one that keeps him grounded. You now keep that rock in your pocket.

Hold - How do they hold you? Cuddling, sleeping, holding hands…

When he cuddles with you the man is like a koala.

Ideal - What’s their ideal date like?

Dinner. He loves you and he loves food so it’s a win-win.

Jealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they handle it?

He’s not the jealous type.

Kisses - How do they like to kiss you? How frequently do you kiss?

A lot of the time his kisses are quick but that’s only because he’s a fast paced person.

He’s also a fan of forehead kisses. Both giving and receiving.

Love - How do they show you that they love you?

He shows his love for you by telling you how much he appreciates you. He couldn’t imagine being on this journey without you.

Melt - What do you do that absolutely makes them melt?

The way you care for him and the whole crew. He can’t get enough of your kind heart.

Nicknames - What do they call you, and what are their favorite things to be called?

His nickname for you is honestly probably just some shortened version of your name.

He likes when you call him babe.

Obvious - How obvious do they make it that they like you?

He makes it pretty obvious. He doesn’t see a reason to hide it.

Pets - Do they have pets? Do they want them?

If Luffy had pets he'd probably have insects. Probably some kind of Stag Beetles.

Quiet - How are the calm, quiet moments with them?

Calm, quiet moments with the Straw Hat crew are few and far between. However, when they do happen, it’s usually when you and Luffy are sitting on the head of the Sunny watching the sunset.

Romance - How romantic are they? What are their go-to ways of being romantic?

Similar to Ace, Luffy tries his best. He gets a lot of romantic advice from a mix of Nami, Robin, and Sanji.

Safe - What makes them feel safe and comfortable around you?

The fact that you always stand by him. Luffy is known for jumping head first into everything and it means the world to him that you’re always right there beside him.

Tend - How do they act when you’re hurt or sick, and vice versa?

The minute Luffy realizes you are hurt or sick he will go get Chopper. He’ll also make sure you get plenty of rest so you don’t get worse.

It’s not uncommon for Luffy to get hurt with the amount of fights the Straw Hats find themselves in. Usually he’ll just sleep it off and be good to go.

If he is sick he will complain about how much he hates it since he rarely gets sick. He will also want lots of extra cuddles from you.

Unique - What’s an unusual thing about them that’s oddly charming?

The way he can always seem to find the good in people. It’s an unusual trait in the pirate world but that’s something that makes Luffy special.

Variety - Do they prefer to keep things the same, or spice it up?

He is always up for trying new things.

Wash - What’s it like taking a bath with them, or helping them wash up after a fight?

You have spoiled him in the sense that he will only take a bath with you now. He enjoys your company and it gives the two of you a chance to talk about your day.

XO - How do they show you affection? How much PDA are they willing to show?

Luffy doesn’t mind PDA. Again he doesn’t see a reason to hide his affection for you.

Yearn - What do they do when they miss you?

He has been known to pout around the deck when he misses you.

Zzz - How do they act when they get sleepy? How is it sleeping in the same bed?

You can tell when he’s getting sleepy because he’ll start to get clingy. Mostly because he likes going to bed with you.

When it comes to sharing a bed with him, again, the man is like a koala. Don’t be surprised if his arms end up wrapped around you a couple times.

Wait, We Have a Talking Cat?!? (Shanks x Fem Reader)

@kazenomegaminowanpisu ask for shanks x fem reader and that fem reader adopts a magical cat. I got my inspiration for my sassy magical cat from Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I wanted a really sassy cat and Salem was the sassiest! Well, I hope you like it and thanks for the request my friend!

Being the only girl on the Red Force could be lonely.  Yes, you were with Shanks.  He was the best boyfriend ever, but you know what they say.  Boys will be boys.  And boy, did those boys live by that phrase.  “Hey Shanks,” you asked one night while laying with him in bed, “can I get a cat?”

He looked over at you puzzled.  “I mean sure Y/N but why?”

You sighed, “I used to have a cat as a kid named Bingo and I loved that cat.  I think it would be fun, plus I’m the only girl so I’d be nice to have a companion that isn’t a grown man.”

Shanks looked at you.  His gray eyes looked into your (e/c) ones.  He caressed his lovely girlfriend’s right cheek with his hand. “Then on the next island you can go adopt a cat.  I’ll tell the boys now.  It’ll be like we have Uta back!”

“Are you comparing your own daughter to a cat?  Why?”

“Both can be adorable but will rip your head off when angry.”

“Oh god,” you laughed while rolling your eyes.

***

When you reached the next island, you headed straight for the shops, while Shanks and the rest of the crew headed to the bars.  You saw one little pet shop called “Ms. Crystal’s Pets and Magical Goods”.  You walked inside and it was not like any shop you had ever seen.  The walls were a dark maroon shade while all the lighting was fairy lights or pendants that looked like stars or moons.  The shelves were lined with not only pet toys and pet food, but also small little trinkets.  You approached the old orniet oak counter where a sweet looking old woman stood.  “Hello dear,” she said with a smile, “what can I help you with?”

You smiled back, “I’m looking for a cat.  Do you have any?”

“Of course.  And I know just the right one for you.”

She disappeared into the back, while you awaited your new little furry friend.

***

“So he lost his arm saving my namesake,” your cat Luffy asked you.  The sweet old lady at the pet store told you that this cat was special, it had magical powers.  Besides talking, he could also create objects out of thin air, which came in handy when you ram out of important materials and supplies on the ship.  Everyone knew about Luffy’s powers on the ship, everyone except Shanks.  All the other boys found out when Luffy accidentally started talking to them about giving him a pet.  Benn Beckham’s came when he asked him what Benn was short for: Benjamin, Bennet, Benedict, Bennifer.  Luffy talked in front of Shanks, but he was drunk and thought he was seeing things.

“He did lose it saving Luffy,” you replied, “Luffy is a devil fruit user and was drowning so Shanks went in and saved him, but a Sea King ate Shanks’ arm.”

“So my name sake is an idiot?”

“No, he was seven and was thrown into the water.”

Luffy laughed.  He was definitely a sassy cat, but you were just as sassy.  “Well, I’m hungry, so I’m getting a snack.  Do you want anything?  Tuna? Maybe a devil fruit like the other Luffy?  Then you can go for a swim.”

“I’d love one…wait, are you trying to kill me?  Never mind you can’t live without me,” the black cat said, putting emphasis on me.

“Tuna it is then.” you laughed walking out of the room to the kitchen.

A few moments later someone walked into yours and Shanks’ room.  Luffy spoke up, “I hope you brought me the nice tuna from the blue can, and not that garbage kind in the red one.”

There was no answer.  Luffy looked up and noticed a surprised Shanks, grey eyes wide open. 

“Oh crap,” the black cat said with his emerald green eyes wide in shock.

When you return from the kitchen you notice your main man and your magical cat staring at each other.

“When were you going to tell me our cat talked? Does the rest of the crew know?” Shanks asked, grabbing your shoulders, staring at you in complete disbelief.

“All the boys know. Luffy’s talked to you a lot, but you’ve been really drunk,” you laughed.

“I was also the one who created that necklace you bought Y/N for her birthday,” Luffy interrupted.  Shanks stared at the cat and then at you.

“He creates objects too!  Oh my god I love this cat. What else can you do Luffy?”

“That’s about it but don’t ask me to make you a new arm.  I like you, but I tried that once with my old owner.  Now she has an extra leg.”

“Awesome.”

“You’re not mad about the cat?” you asked.  You were scared that he would want you to get rid of the cat since you never told him.

He smashes his lips into yours.  “Of course not.  Even if Luffy wasn’t a cool magical cat and instead hated me, I’d let you keep him.”

You kissed him on the cheek and said, “I love you Shanks!  If you excuse me, I’m going to go get water.”

“Love you too,” he answered back.

He sat with Luffy for a few seconds in silence until his new favorite feline asked, “So Beckham, does Benn stand for Benjamin or Bennifer?”

The ways they tell you they ❤love❤ you

Luffy

Clinging onto you like a koala (a very adorable koala, if I may add).

Always including you in his 'team' whenever you find new places to explore.

Making up random songs about you and randomly singing it out of nowhere.

"[name]'s great~ strong and smart and awesome~ huggable and soft and delicious~"

"L-Luffy... We're trying to sneak past the guards, unnoticed, remember??"

Eating the stuff you don't like off your plates without being told.

Whenever you share your desserts with him and Sanji finds out, he never fails to stretch his head to give you a big smooch before running away from the angry blonde.

Waking you up to raid the fridge in the middle of the night.

Trusting you with his hat before he jumps into any tough battles.

Always, and I mean always coming to you first to bear-hug you the moment he wins against a strong opponent.

Sanji

Food, snacks, desserts, cocktails on hot days and warm cups of chocolate with extra marshmallows on cold nights.

Serenading you in public.

Attentively listens to you with undivided attention when you talk to him about anything.

Always making sure he's in a presentable state before seeing you.

Leaving small post-it notes on your mirror.

"You look beautiful today too, darling ♡"

"I hope you have a good day today, my love."

"Good evening, my dearest sunshine. The sun might have gone to rest today, but I am so glad that your light never fades."

Keeping all the post-it notes attached to the fridge from you in a box in his room.

Always checking with the vendors where to find the ingredients for your favorite food first, whenever they have to resupply.

Slow dancing with you under the stars when everyone else is asleep.

Zoro

Sparring with you and giving you feedback on your fighting style, especially on the parts you're weak/struggling with.

Sharing the best nap spots in Sunny with you.

Not drinking your sake when you ask him to hold it for you.... most of the time.

"Wait, is this the last bottle?"

"...."

"............"

"Just... one sip.... should be fine, right...?"

Silently guarding your door whenever he's not on watch duty at night.

Dragging you away to a quieter place under the excuse that he needs you for something whenever he notices you getting overwhelmed in public.

Pulling you to a safer path before you bump onto something or someone.

Letting you tend to his wounds when he doesn't want to go to Chopper because it's not a big deal.

Buying you a matching earring when you offhandedly told him you wanted one that looks just like his.

Ace

Kissing you at least ten times a day (preferably fifteen, maybe twenty on sad days).

Having his arms around your shoulder whenever you're walking around a new town exploring.

Calling you with pet names.

"Babe, I'm hugryyyyy!"

"[nameeee] you're the cutest, prettiest sweetest pumpkin please can I have a hug!!"

"Thatch, have you seen my sweeth-- I mean [name]?" "Your sweetheart should be on the deck, lover boy. Now shoo, I've got a lunch to cook."

Pulling you behind his back whenever some pirates come asking for trouble, attracted to the insignia tattooed to his back.

Making a fool of himself just to make you smile.

Cries when you cry and laughs when you laugh. The whole crew believes you have some sort of telepathic connection to each other.

Seeking you out whenever he has nightmares, and letting you hold him when he's at his most vulnerable.

Law

Complaining whenever you're fussing him about his health but obediently following your instructions to sit / lay down / bend down as you take care of him.

Nagging Constantly reminding you to eat, drink, and get enough sleep. Oh the irony.

Discreet kisses on your forehead whenever you pass by each other in the submarine and no one's around.

Letting you nap on Bepo in his place although he wanted to take his nap himself.

Letting you steal his hat and not using his power to steal it back, instead waiting for you to bring it back to him and leaning forward so you can place it back on top of his head.

Sharing his coffee whenever he brews one from himself.

Naturally moving closer to you whenever he notices you visibly getting anxious or uncomfortable.

"You alright?"

"... Better, now that you're here. Thanks."

"Hmm."

Allowing you to link your index finger to his pinky whenever you're in public.

Kid

Wolf-whistling whenever you walk by him on the deck.

Decking the new recruits right on their face and throwing them overboard when they copied the same gesture.

"Well then maybe you shouldn't-"

"Shut up! I'm trying to be romantic here!"

"You think that's being--" Killer sighs and shakes his head, "... Nevermind."

Oh, there's a sea king nearby? Perfect. Die, bitch.

Giving you random hand-built things that you don't need or know what to do with most of the time (how the hell does one care for a crystal terrarium?? And what kind of cursed wood carvings is he giving you this time??).

Letting you borrow his tools (he doesn't let anyone else touch it - they're his babies).

Applying your makeup and entrusting you to apply his makeup.

Never failing to sit still on his bed while listening to your voice as you're applying sunscreen to his exposed skin in the morning, reminding him for the thousandth time about how he'll get sunburnt out there with how pale he is.

Getting you the same coat as his own (and grinning proudly when you wear it everywhere).

Tucking you in bed and kissing you good night whenever you fell asleep waiting for him to finish his work on the ship.

Killer

Making sure you're out of harm's way first when Kid starts rampaging.

Patting your head lovingly in the morning and bumping your foreheads together. It's his version of a morning kiss.

Brewing your favorite type of coffee/tea so it'll be ready when you wake up.

Remembering every small details he's heard from you before and using it when he has to (yes, you like blue but not that blue).

Hugging you close while you cry and silently nods to show that he's listening as you vent to him about your problems.

Tag teaming with you to tackle his first mate duties, including but not limited to: making sure the crew members aren't killing each other, keeping the ship (mostly) functional, checking in with everyone to ensure they're doing their jobs right for the week, and of course, saving Kid before he gets into too much trouble.

"Did you check on Heat and Wire? They were at each other's throats two days ago."

"Yeah, they're fine now. I asked them to settle their petty fight."

"..... You forced them to shake hands and hug, didn't you?"

"Well, if it works, it works, right?!"

Sharing his premium shampoo and conditioner with you.

Taking extra care with your bed and with washing your laundry whenever he's on cleaning duty.

Shanks

Always holding your hand when you're nearby.

Meeting your eyes across the deck and throwing a wink or blowing a kiss into your direction.

Twirling you round and round and round until you're dizzy and have to lean onto him for support on every banquets where he asks you for a dance (read: every parties).

Humming and gently tapping his fingers against your waist on sleepless nights. Might as well enjoy the moment if you can't sleep, right?

Always running to you for help when Benn is being 'mean' to him.

"[naaaaame], Grumpy is scolding me agaiiiiin!"

"[name], this is why I keep saying you spoil him too much."

Teasing you. Constantly. 24/7. I'm sorry dear, that's just part of the package.

Collecting photos and articles of you to hang them up on his room's walls (some old articles about Roger and Luffy's latest poster are pinned up too, but you have your own section).

Leaving you alone, no questions asked, when he senses that you need some alone time to yourself, and welcoming you back with a big smile when you jump back into his arm.

kitten pet name headcannon

zoro, sanji, luffy, ace | gn!reader

summary: our boys having a partner who enjoys a pet name that might be a little too flustering for them

masterlist

Roronoa Zoro

nine times out of ten, flat out refuses

you have a name for a reason, and he’s going to use it

only in private does he grumble it out and with a blush across his face

eventually becomes a little too comfortable and lets it slip in front of the others, and that unfortunately regresses him back to square one

it never failed to surprise you how well zoro could sleep through almost anything. even now as the crew is singing and laughing on deck, you can tell he’s almost completely out.

“(y/n)! come look at this!” luffy and chopper beg, peering over the edge of the boat.

“coming!” you call back, trying to extract yourself from zoro’s hold, that even in his sleep is tight around your waist.

“mhmm, kitten, don’t go.”

and then everything stops. brook’s violin almost screeches, the chatter of ussop and sanji halts, nami and robin looking like they’re going to burst out laughing.

surprisingly it’s the silence that pulls zoro from his sleep, blinking awake to see everyone has their attention the two of you.

“what?” zoro snaps, hating when he’s left out of the know. but before you can intervene, the crew beats you to it.

“oh nothing, kitten!” sanji croons with glee.

“yeah, why don’t you just go back to your cat nap?” ussop adds in, already keeled over with laughter.

“i thought (y/n) was a human?” chopper asks robin who just pats the little doctor’s head.

“shut up!” zoro shouts, flying out of his seat and pulling you with him to inside the ship and far away from his annoying crew.

“oh c’mon.” you say, pressing a kiss to his heated cheek when he finally lets go of your hand, “it’s not that bad.”

zoro glares at the wall behind you, “i blame you.”

you make a little tut, “i know, let me make it up to you?”

and zoro just hopes everyone stays on the deck the rest of the night, otherwise they might overhear your little pet name again, but in a much different tone.

Sanji

this man loves petnames, has a new one for every time he sees you

but there’s something about that one that turns sanji into a blushing and stammering mess

always tries to get away with calling you something else

but you don’t respond until he says what you really want to hear

“love, i prepared a sweet fruit tray for the sweetest thing on deck!” sanji leans down to where you’re lounging and flipping through a book on deck. his eyes fly open when he doesn’t receive the peck on his cheek like he was expecting, “sweetheart?”

you turn the page, humming to yourself.

there’s a moment of silence before sanji breaks with a hushed mutter,

“kitten.”

like a complete one eighty you drop your book in your lap, and turn to him with the biggest smile that some how grows when you see he’s glaring at the floor, face as red as the strawberries on the plate.

“oh sanji, i didn’t see you there!” you take the bowl from his tray, “you’re too kind for this!” you press a loud smooch against his cheek, “love you!”

sanji straightens, pleased to see you’re enjoying his work with a content smile while your attention returns to the book.

“love you too.” he says, turning back to the kitchen but pauses when he hears you clear your throat behind, “kitten.” he’s able to say without losing his complete composure.

and if the scoff that comes from across the deck is to be followed by a tray being flung at a certain swordsman from a certain chef, well that’s not your fault.

Monkey D. Luffy

definitely doesn’t understand it at first

keeps calling you ‘cat’ instead

after a couple bonks to the head and a demonstration of just why you like it so much does he finally understand

but that doesn’t mean he’s going to say it so casually, in fact the opposite!

“aren’t you going to wish me luck?” you pout, tugging on luffy’s hand.

“i already did?” luffy cocks his head, “good luck.”

“no.” you whine, “you know what i mean.”

it takes a moment to process, but then luffy’s eyes go wide and his face matches the little ribbon around his hat, eyes darting to members of the alliance who are starting to wonder what the holdup is.

“(y/n)…” luffy laughs awkwardly, unsure what else to say.

“c’mon.” you cross your arms, “what if I get hurt out there because you didn’t say it!” you know that’s completely unreasonable, which is what you usually need to do to get luffy to do anything.

“good luck, kitten.” he pulls you in for a bone crushing hug and buries his face against you neck, “don’t get hurt.”

a smile fills you face and you press a kiss into his messy black hair, arms wrapping around his back, even though you know he’s only hugging you to hide his embarrassment.

the future king of the pirates can’t show weakness, especially not because of a simple word.

Portgas D. Ace

loves it, wants to be called ‘kitten’ too, thinks it’s another nickname

that is until marco, thatch, and the others overhear the two of you one night

endless teasing and crude innuendos ensue

now ace can barely mumble the word with out his face literally lighting on fire

“kitten!” you call, waving to ace who has finally returned with the rest of the second division from a scouting mission that lasted almost a week.

even from across the deck you see ace’s whole body tense up as he quickly turns away from the other division commanders with a nervous look on his face.

you pull him down for a quick kiss, uncaring who sees, “I missed you, kitten.”

“heh, i missed you too.” he throws a quick glance over his shoulder, flushing when he sees marco nudging izou and nodding in the couple’s direction.

but then your fingers squish ace’s cheeks and you turn him back towards you, “I said, I missed you, kitten.”

ace smiles, his hands settling on your waist, “hey! want to see what i picked up from-” but he stops when you’re finger presses to his lips, with a raised brow.

it doesn’t take a genius to know what you want, and you have to internally roll your eyes when he sounds like he’s being held at gun point when he says, “me too, kitten.”

and the jests he’s going to get later are definitely worth it when you smile and tug him along, asking all about his adventure. even more so when you throw a rude gesture over your shoulder to those who were eavesdropping.

One Piece Men X Reader

Summary: Short thoughts on how I think the One Piece boys show affection to their s/o. Gender neutral.

Relationship: Romantic, fluff!

Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, Marco, Law, Sabo

LUFFY: Hugs Luffy shows affection by hugging his s/o and honestly feels most loved by them when they're the ones to initiate a hug. Luffy's never felt a hint of embarrassment before and PDA sure ain't about to change that now. It doesn't matter if you're on the opposite end of the ship to him, he will stretch his arms all the way across, grab you away from whatever you're doing and pull you into a heartfelt hug with an adorable giggle that you just can't say no to. Doesn't matter where you are or who you're with, he will always love you and show affection just the same. That said, if you've uncomfortable with doing something like that, he knows what a boundary is, you just need to show him where you've drawn it.

ZORO: Head Pats Give this man a break... he honestly isn’t all that great at showing his affection. That’s not to say that he doesn’t love it when you show affection in literally any type of way, he’s just not very good at initiating it. He’s also not a huge fan of PDA. So, if he ever feels like he wants your attention or that he hasn’t shown that he loves you in a while, then he’ll come up and sit beside you and start stroking your hair. Or he’ll literally just start petting you. One time, when he thought you were asleep, he just put his hand on your head and left it there... he’s trying his best y’all.

SANJI: Kisses Butterfly kisses, kisses on the cheek, kisses on the lips, nose, eyes, forehead, it really doesn't matter to him. A kiss is a kiss and he absolutely adores it when you're the one to initiate it, it makes him feel wanted and loved. And he is not afraid to kiss you whenever he needs affection. Sometimes he'll just spontaneously walk up behind you and kiss your head, or your cheek or whatever he can. At first you would be surprised by this, but you've just learned to continue your conversation and add him in. He tends to do it a lot more in front of Zoro because he knows it grosses him out. But seriously, in his opinion, a kiss is the ultimate confession of love and he feels as though he has to do it a lot to prove that he still loves you as much as the moment he first knew.

ACE: Words Ace loves to hear from you how much you love a care for him. Tell him how much you missed him, tell him that his hair feels soft, that you love how warm he is, that you enjoy spending time with him. Shower him in compliments and you'll leave him in a blushing mess, but it's only when you do it. Like sure, he knows that he looks good and that he's strong and that he did well in that last battle, but when you say it it just adds a whole new meaning to it. And especially after a long, hard day when he's questioning his worth, hearing you tell him that he's everything to you and all that you'll ever need etc, is just so impactful, especially when it's coming from his absolute favourite person in the world. He just loves when you tell him why you love him.

MARCO: Cuddles This man absolutely adores his cuddles. The intimacy of being so close and in such a vulnerable place and position. He loves it when he gets to lay down on top of you with his head on your stomach whilst you run a hand through his hair. He could fall asleep in that position. He feels so soft whenever you fall asleep in his arms, you're so innocent, sweet, vulnerable, pure, peaceful and all that good stuff. He could watch you for days without getting bored. He almost did once, you had taken a hit to the head that kept you unconscious for over 48 hours (nothing you couldn't recover from) and Ace had to come in to check if he was still alive. It even took Ace several callings of Marco's name to get the division commander to acknowledge his presence.

LAW: Actions Law isn’t a big fan of PDA and lovey-dovey affection. He feels that if someone truly loved him, then saying it isn’t enough, they have to show it as well. To him, actions speak far louder than words. And I don’t mean physical affection like hugs and kisses and stuff, I mean helping out in little ways that lighten his load. Like doing his laundry and leaving it neatly folded in his draw. Or after a long day of him working, you either lay him down in bed or puts a blanket on him after he falls asleep at his desk. Or cooking him breakfast in the morning. Or leaving some coffee on his desk. Those kinds of little things that show him someone is constantly thinking about him and cares enough to notice what they can do to help him out without expecting any praise for completing these small tasks. However, that's not to say he doesn't try and return it in his own way. He'd be the kind of person to leave out little notes and letters in the place of your completed task with a different 'thank you' each time.

SABO: Soft Touches He likes the little touches of reassurance, like holding his hand or brushing his cheek, even just linking pinkies. He's not exactly against PDA, but he isn't going to show off with excessive amounts either. Rubbing shoulder, standing close enough that your arms are touching, a hand on the thigh. It gives him butterflies every time. The amount of times that he's been in a meeting, your hand has touched his knee and he's burst into a shade of red that's had other people looking on with concern [except for Koala, she knows what's up ;) ] measured in kilograms it could sink a battleship. This man is honestly such a simp for those little moments of pure adoration between the two of you.

[vannahfanfics]

Good tidings to you! I'd like to request a fluff alphabet for Zoro, if you please!

Of course, hun! Thank you so much for your Ko-Fi donation; it was mighty kind of you! I hope you enjoy this fluff alphabet~!

Fluff Alphabet: Zoro

A-   Activities: How do they spend their time with their s/o?

We all know how much Zoro loves to snooze, so you can bet that he loves taking naps with his s/o! There’s nothing better to him than finding a nice spot on the deck or within the ship to snuggle up with his beloved and catch some good Z’s. A lot of times he will actually try to stay awake instead of falling asleep right away, though, because he wants to enjoy his cuddle time! Plus, he thinks his partner is so cute when they’re dozing. When they are awake, Zoro also loves to train with his partner! It doesn’t matter how intense his partner is athletically; even if they are just in the same space honing their respective crafts, it really makes him happy. And getting to see his s/o all sweaty and breathless after a workout? That’s hot to him, LOL. 

B- Body: What does this character appreciate about their s/o? What part of their body are they most proud of, and in reverse, what body part are they ashamed of and how do they respond to their s/o gushing over it?

Zoro is an ass man; sorry, I don’t make the rules. He is gonna grab his s/o’s booty at every available opportunity. He just can’t help himself; I mean, it’s right there, just ripe for the taking, and the man has got to cop a feel! He’s also fond of his partner’s tummy, though; he loves to lay his head there when he’s dozing-- bonus points if his s/o gives him head scritches. That is a one-way ticket to a happy Zoro. 

As for himself, Zoro is very proud of his scars, ironically. They’re proof that he’s survived and overcome obstacles as a swordsman. He loves when his s/o traces his scars, or, when things are getting a little steamy, kisses along the patterns criss-crossing his body. He’s proud of his muscles, too, and loves when his s/o compliments them. He definitely flexes for his partner; he loves to get them all hot and bothered, LOL. 

C- Cuddles: Is this character a cuddler? What is their favorite way to cuddle?

Zoro loves to cuddle, mostly because he loves to nap. There is no better sleep to him than when his s/o is snuggled up against him. He likes to spoon his partner (this man is not the little spoon, no way, no how), but he also likes to sleep on his partner’s lap or tummy while they play with his hair and massage/scratch his head. 

D- Dreams: How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Zoro pretty much doesn’t think about much besides becoming the world’s greatest swordsman and helping Luffy achieve the title of Pirate King before his s/o comes along. After that, however, he begins to consider what happens next. After sailing for a while, he’ll entertain the idea of settling down and starting a dojo like his master, or maybe even returning to the old man and asking to take over one day. It’s not something he thinks about a whole lot, but he does, on occasion. Really, he just wants his partner to be happy, and will go along with their plans for their future. 

E- Equivalence: Is this character the dominant force in the relationship, are they passive, or is the relationship more or less even?

Zoro’s a pretty stubborn guy, but in a relationship, he’s actually kind of chill. He doesn’t mind not making decisions and will go along with his s/o’s flow. He just doesn’t see the point in trying to control of dominate aspects of his s/o’s life; they’re a person with their own free will, after all. As long as he can get his cuddles, he’s honestly good! 

F- Fights: How does this character respond to arguments with their s/o? What would they fight about, and who would cave and apologize first?

We all know most of the Straw Hat Crew share a single brain cell and most of the time, bless his heart, Zoro does not have it. He will get so confused when his partner is mad at him. He will have no idea what set them off, and that will frustrate him, so he’ll lash out in retaliation. Before the fight can escalate too much, he’ll stomp off to go nurse his feelings with some sake. It bothers him, though, knowing that his s/o’s feelings are hurt and probably because he did something stupid... so he’ll go to Nami or Robin for advice. Once they finally get his brain to click, he’ll go back to his s/o to apologize and talk things out. So, even though fights may occur often, normally they work out well when he finally puts two and two together. 

G- Gratitude: How does this character show their s/o that they are grateful?

Zoro is pretty low-key with his affection. To show his gratitude, he normally snuggles up to his partner and lavishes them in physical affection. It’s his main way to express his feelings, and he isn’t smart when it comes to gift-giving, nor is he eloquent with his words. His partner will have to recognize that this is how he is trying to express how he feels!

H- Honeymoon: If this character had a honeymoon with their s/o, where would they go?

Again, Zoro has no real preference with these things. In fact, he probably doesn’t even know what a honeymoon is. After his s/o explains it, however, and he realizes how important it is to them, Zoro is on board. He will probably let his partner choose the destination and activities; he righteously doesn’t care where they go. He just wants to spend time with them and make sure that they are having a good time. 

I- Insecurity: What is this character insecure about? How do they deal with their insecurities with their s/o?

Zoro is very much still haunted by Kuina’s death. It frustrates him that he was never able to best her, and he still carries a sense of guilt for her death, though it was a tragic accident. It’s not something he’ll bring up to his s/o very easily, because it’s not something he wants to talk about, but eventually after his s/o catches him brooding on it enough times, he’ll divulge the full story. He’ll probably tear up a bit, so his s/o will need to comfort him. 

J- Jealousy: Is this character the jealous type? How do they deal with being jealous?

Zoro is 100% confident in himself as a man and so he does not get jealous, lmao. Again, he doesn’t really have much desire to have his s/o on a leash. In fact, watching his s/o flirt and play coy with others is amusing to him, because it makes him oh so satisfied knowing that they are still going home with him that night. If he realizes his s/o is actively trying to get him jealous to have some fun, he’ll play along, but never for a moment does he actually doubt his s/o or their intentions. It’s honestly sweet, how much trust he has in them. 

K- Kiss: What does the character want their first kiss to be like with their s/o? How does it end up happening?

Again, this man? No brain cells. He’s just cruising, having a good time, and doesn’t even think about a kiss. His s/o will actually have to be the one to plant one on him the first time, because this poor guy is just like, “This is going well. Nice. Look at me go. I bet the Ero-Cook is so jealous.” Bless his heart, the poor, stupid thing. After the first time, though, he picks up on it and will take care to initiate PDA so his s/o doesn’t feel unwanted or undesirable. 

L- Love Confession: How does this character first profess their love to their s/o?

Once again, this man is as dense as a brick wall. He will not even realize that he caught feelings for someone; he just vibes, thinking that it’s just an aspect of their friendship. His s/o is going to have to be the one to confess, and then it will finally click in his head that the things he feels go beyond friendship, and then he will be like, “Oh. Yeah, I like you too, let’s go out.” It’s almost infuriating, because it can lead to a drawn-out mutual pining situation except Zoro doesn’t realize that he’s pining. Nami, please, give him the brain cell. 

M- Marriage: How does this character view marriage? What is their ideal wedding like?

Zoro doesn’t think much about marriage, just like his thoughts on his future with his s/o-- but when they bring it up, he isn’t opposed. Rather than a fancy proposal, it will probably be a mutual decision between himself and his partner. They will go with him to pick out the ring and there won’t be a big affair, just “Hey! We’re gonna get married!” If his s/o really wants the whole shabang, though, he’ll have Nami and Usopp help him put something together. Again, he doesn’t care, but if his s/o does, he want’s them to be happy. 

As for the wedding, again, he leaves all of that up to his s/o. The furthest his mind goes is imagining them in their wedding attire, and that makes him a little excited, the idea that they’ll be joined forever in love. 

N- Nicknames: What does this character like to call their s/o?

Zoro’s not really that into pet names. One might hear an occasional “babe” or a demeaning “sweetheart” or “sweetcheeks,” but he thinks it’s more intimate to call his s/o by their name. 

O- On Cloud Nine: What is this character like when they’re in love? Is it obvious to others, or are they good at hiding it?

Like I said, this fool is oblivious himself that he’s in love. Others might notice if they are astute because he spends a lot of time with the object of his affections, does things for them without complaining, and is protective over them. Other than that, it really isn’t that obvious.

P- PDA: Does this character like PDA? If so, what kinds of things do they do in public to show off their s/o?

Zoro does like PDA, especially if his partner is easily flusterable, because he thinks it’s cute. Throwing his arm around their shoulders or waist or sitting them on his lap are his personal favorites (and the aforementioned ass grabs). But if his s/o is also a fan of PDA, he’ll return any kisses, hugs, or hand-holds they initiate too, because he ain’t gonna say no to an excuse to touch his s./o! 

Q- Quirks: What random traits or quirks does this character have that positively affect the relationship?

Zoro has a habit of picking up random things he thinks his s/o will like. “Hey, I saw this flower and thought you might like it, here you go.” He totally doesn’t think anything of it, he just acted on a whim, but he does enjoy how happy his s/o gets about it-- so sometimes he goes out looking for stuff on purpose. He usually gets lost, of course, and someone has to go find him. 

R- Romance: Is this character a hopeless romantic, or a bit on the low-key side? Are they cliché when it comes to romantic gestures, or can they get a little bit creative?

As I’ve alluded, Zoro’s pretty lowkey in relationships. He’s not really prone to grand gestures, and just acts on whims rather than putting a lot of thought into his gestures. Occasionally, he will seek Nami and Robin out for advice to make sure he isn’t getting too boring or repetitive for his s/o, but mostly, he just does whatever comes to his mind. 

S- Secrets: Are there any secrets they hide from their s/o? If so, how do they deal with it when those secrets finally come out?

Besides his past with Kuina, Zoro doesn’t really have anything to hide from his s/o. He believes in honesty in relationships and just in general, so he won’t have any secrets. 

T- Thrill: Does this character prefer routine in their relationship, or do they like to shake things up every once in a while?

Zoro doesn’t even really think about it! Again, he just does whatever comes to mind. Sometimes there are spells of doing basically the same things every day, and then all of a sudden he’ll up and surprise his s/o with a random compliment or gift to keep it a little exciting. 

U- Understanding: Is this character level-headed and empathetic toward their partner, or do they sometimes have trouble figuring them out, which leads to some butting heads?

Zoro, bless his heart, will take a long time to learn how his partner really ticks. It’s just a little hard for him to learn how they think, so they will butt heads sometimes and have disagreements. He does try to be empathetic, it just doesn’t work out like he wants it to sometimes. 

V- Value: How does this character value their relationship with their s/o? How does it hold in comparison to their goals, ambitions, etc.?

Zoro does hold his relationship in pretty high regard, but his ultimate goals are making Luffy Pirate King and becoming a master swordsman. If his s/o does not support those goals, or if he has to choose between them, he’ll probably choose his goals. That isn’t to say he won’t make an effort to have both, though. 

W- Wild Card: Any random fluff headcanon that does not fall within the other categories!

Zoro talks in his sleep and it’s adorable. Sometimes his true feelings come out in his sleep, so he’ll babble on and on about how much he adores his s/o. It’s so cute, but he will deny it until he’s blue in the face despite the fact that everybody has heard him do it. 

X- XOXO: How does this character show affection?

As I’ve mentioned, Zoro’s primary love language is “physical affection.” He’s not great with words or gifts, so he primarily speaks through his actions. “Acts of service” is also in his repertoire, though; he doesn’t mind doing things for his s/o, and will often initiate without them even asking. 

Y- Yearning: How does this character deal with time apart with their s/o?

Oh, boy. He gets so pouty and grumpy. He doesn’t sleep as well when his s/o isn’t there, so he gets tired and oh-so-irritated. He is absolutely miserable to be around, and he and Sanji get into so many fights because he’s being a dick. He drinks a lot more, too, and is mad about the fact his alcohol tolerance is too high to drink himself into a stupor. As soon as his s/o returns, he is dragging them off for a much-needed nap. 

Z- Zeal: Is this character willing to great lengths for their relationship? If so, how far, and how long does it take to get to this point?

Although I said Zoro is more likely to choose his goals over his s/o, he still will go to great lengths for his s/o. He has faith in their capabilities, but if he gets even an inkling that they may need help, he goes charging off. It doesn’t really take Zoro that long to reach this point, either, as he becomes somewhat dependent on their presence quite soon.

Self Insert AU for your chaotic crack fic needs

When you get transported into the One Piece Universe, you can't choose where you end up in nor in which time. Even your age might be jumbled up.

Depending on where you end up, your memories of your old life will disappear until the crew or group you are in is featured in canon.

If you make a joke about something, it's very likely that the universe will make it happen just to fuck you up. For reference, see C and R making up a lost island that sunk into the sea only for it to re-emergence randomly in the New World right in front of their eyes.

No matter what you do, you can't change the canon plot.

You don't have a plot armour.

Mod specific headcanons under the cut.

Onto the specific headcanons of C and R:

C

C ends up in the same town where Luffy meets Zoro, only days before it happens, hence her memories aren't that jumbled up, but she can't remember her real life friends. She pretty much joins them there and then.

C has the habit of saying cryptic things and accidentally revealing things beforehand, like when someone important is about to join the Strawhats whom she has joined. The crew thinks that she can see into the future.

She also tends to start crying when she meets people who are good but have tragic pasts. Luffy starts to use this as an indicator for people being nice.

During the timeskip, C ended up eating a devilfruit, her devilfruit was Neko Neko Mi, Model: Toyger ver Dwarf. This means that she is essentially a Toyger breed of a regular housecat, who happens to have dwarfism and thus will never grow up bigger than a kitten.

C uses her devilfruit to sneak around, get out of trouble and to get a free lift from her crew members. R uses his fruit power to intimidate people and to fight, he also uses it to go unnoticed while he naps in the dark corners.

The majority of people assume that she is max 14 years old due to her petite form and mischievous nature. However, when reaching Wano, she’s actually 18.

C’s outfit is modeled after a cow; she adores them as she finds them cute. She wears tiny horns on her head and a dotted over dress on top of her blue dress. Her cat form also keeps the horns on it.

Her fighting style includes using these horns to inflict damage. She also has learned how to use armament haki during her training.

She spent three months stuck in her cat form due to not knowing how to control it. She has managed to awaken her fruit powers, which doesn’t really help her much aside from giving her extra speed and durability.

During one of the early calls between C and R, they joked about her having the will of D. Later on she learned that she infact DOES have that secret name and she actually carries the will of Portgas D. Rouge. She also resembles Rouge by her looks and sometimes says things that especially got the attention of Garp as he’d last heard the woman herself say them.

C made up an island just to avoid suspicion, claiming that it sunk to the bottom of the ocean only to find out that the island did infact exist.

She also claimed that R and her are childhood friends before her family moved to the East Blue from the North Blue.

In Wano, she learns about the backstory of herself and is left speechless.

She’s actively trying to set Law and R up for her own amusement, even going as far as claiming that he suffers from chronic anxiety which can be cured by slow socialisation (to earn his trust) and cuddles, but the latter must be done by someone the red head respects. Law accepted this as a fact until his mind caught onto it about a week later.

Her favourite colours are purple and green, she often wears brown and blue.

The fake Strawhats had two sets of her; a feral kitten and a giant hulking man with cat ears. Upon seeing this, C immediately called out how they got her motif wrong.

C often takes selfies in the most inconvenient places like right in front of Katakuri, Oven and Daifuku, which she then sends over to R. She also likes to avoid fighting in favour of watching the plot unfold itself.

R

R ends up 10 years into the past, into the office of the Revolutionary Army where he was found by Ivankov and Dragon. He is also now a child. Until he turns 19, he doesn't have any memory problems.

Ivan looks for a cure for R's memory loss, but she doesn't have much time as she's supposed to infiltrate a prison. She quite literally drops him into the hands of Trafalgar Law, explains the situation and leaves without allowing him to protest.

Due to R's shyness, he spends the next half a year silent, making the crew think that he might be actually mute only to later on burst into a song in an attempt to soothe someone. The crew never realises this though as they're used to hearing weird sounds in the submarine.

R uses in total three names in this universe: Ren (Revolutionary Army), Eli (Heart Pirates) and Nao (C, later on the Strawhats). They joke that he has just very long name and those are parts of it.The joke later on turns into reality making R's name be Reneli Nao much to his embarrassment.

During Ivan’s search for a doctor who could cure him, R ended up accidentally eating a devil fruit. The fruit was Zoan type, Neko Neko Mi, Model: Black Jaguar. However for convenience, he refers to it as panther fruit as that way nobody can tell for sure if it was leopard, snow leopard, tiger, lion or a jaguar (Panther is the class name of each of these large cats).

R has two bounties, one as Ren and other as Eli, the latter being his "pet" bounty. Whenever the marines see him in his human form, they refer to him as revolutionary army member rather than as a pirate. Somehow they never put together the fact that Eli and Ren are the same entity.

His bounty as Eli is only around 100 beries due to the marines assuming that the black jaguar form is his real form, and thus believing that he’s a pet.

Before the timeskip, R uses black sunglasses to block out the light as he is very light sensitive, post timeskip he's seen using a cap.

During a call, C joked about him being the illegitimate son of Shanks, in Wano this is confirmed to be the case and the duo swear to never joke again.

He too claimed to be from an island which sunk, only for it to turn up on old maps.

R is an awakened Zoan user, which grands him higher speed and durability.

He also has the habit of switching into another language unconsciously when he curses or insults people. He most often calls them fools in Hebrew, which the rest of the crew assumes having been the native language of the island he’s from.

Law is the only one who knows what he is saying, which makes situations where someone assumes that they’ve earned his trust because he’s “giving them a nickname” even funnier.

He knows how to use both rapier and a katana, his old sword was a rapier which he called Shoshannah after his mother (this means lily or a rose), his current sword is named after his real life brother’s cat, Mito, which in Japanese means serene water while in Italian it can mean myth.

During Zou, the only reason why he got hurt was because of his fruit powers suddenly activated making him loose his balance.

He calls Ivankov “mom” on multiple occasions.

His denden mushi was a gift from Ivankov, however, he just can’t bring himself to decorate it claiming that he’s waiting for the moment he’ll be able to pinpoint just what would reflect him and his personality accessory wise.

His trademark colours are orange, blue and purple, which you can find from his hat and the scarf he wears around his waist to help him carry his katana.

R is a terrible liar which he tries to make up for by turning conversations overly philosophical. Most often he ends up accidentally blurting warnings to his captain and crew.

He often challenges his captain without even realising it by asking questions like “Are you sure about that?” or calling something the stupidest thing he’s ever heard right to his face.

He seems to be immune to feeling intimidated by people to the point where it’s thought that he simply doesn’t have any self preservation instinct. Despite of this, R is very careful and plans his moves to ridiculous detail, trying to take in any possible threats and any potential change in the environment.

Law has a theory that R is the reincarnation of Corazon because he seems to know things that only Corazon would know. This theory was debunked once he learned that R is only 3 years younger than he is.

Other

C and R meet one another in Sabaody, where they both start to regain their lost memories. While they're running from the marines, they quickly catch up and exchange numbers so they can keep in touch.

C and R call regularly, but have trouble when someone else picks up, they both are very shy after all. This leads to moments where C asks Usopp to ask whoever had picked up if Nao was available and vice versa.

Penguin and Shachi have a stash of photos from the time R was stuck as a jaguar cub (when they thought that he was a lot younger and that the devil fruit was just a black cat). They tend to show them to C out of spite towards R, who still doesn’t talk that much.

There’s a third person (let’s call them K), who’s sailing with Boa Hancock, C and K haven’t met one another in the OPverse, but R has made sure that the two also manage to talk by giving them each other’s denden numbers.

K likes to mess with R and Law by referring to them as brothers or “cat men”.

R reunited with K when his captain was taking care of Luffy. The latter found R’s situation hilarious.

The denden mushi of C has purple and green stripes and tiny horns, K’s radiates  G A Y  because of glitter. K’s denden also holds a tiny pride flag.

[neverwatchedonepiece]

531-533: "The Ryugu Palace! Taken by the Shark that they Saved!", "A Coward and a Crybaby! The Princess in the Hard Shell Tower!" and "It's an Emergency! The Ryugu Palace is Occupied!"

Pappagu’s gonna stroke out with stress. Yup. Any minute now.

Loved these episodes! The humour that took an exit stage left during Marineford (for obvious reasons) is back. Most of the humor was comedy of errors type stuff. We had Luffy accidentally bouncing on some giant mermaid tiddies. Luffy being unwittingly rude and poor Pappagu nearly having a stress embolism (look at those veins!) There was Zoro getting drunk and waking up in a jail cell. Brook, Usopp, Nami and Zoro accidentally occupying the entire palace and taking a bunch of important hostages... xD

There were some short updates on other characters too. Some have already had an impact on the plot. Caribou has kidnapped some Mermaids with intent to sell them at the Sabaody slave market. Without knowing it, he has exacted perfect revenge on the Strawhats! But how will you leave Fishman Island, Caribou. You don’t have a ship, you absolute roaster. 

Others I’m guessing Oda is keeping up his sleeve for later. Robin, Franky, Sanji and Chopper are still at large. Robin is wandering the island in search of important evidence of missing history. Franky, bless his mechanical heart, is off looking for Tom-san’s family. Chopper is done treating Sanji. He has a new point: Kung Fu Point. Nice to see that Chopper has some more offensive abilities that don’t completely strip him of his intelligence. :)

That’s Some Nice Real Estate, Neptune. Would Be A Shame If Someone Occupied It.

You know what? I like Neptune. His advisors might browbeat him, but at least he’s the type of ruler who will listen to advice, even if he doesn’t take it. He has his own mind and will follow his inner sense of justice, though it might conflict with what his advisors tell him.

Luffy on the Fish Boat back to Ryugu Palace was hilarious, though. Neptune kept doing a Jason Derulo: saying his own damned name all the time in the little songs he sang to himself and Luffy was like, “Mate, your chant is dumb.”  (I mean, Luffy, you’re not wrong but maybe not to the king’s face next time?) Either Neptune is chilled enough to ignore it, or he didn’t hear, Pappagu did, though, and was on hand to give Luffy a five-armed starfish spanking.

Neptune cares about his family too. The princess’ happiness is important and as she can’t get out the house much (more on that later) rescuing Megalo was a Big Deal. “Didn’t mean to save you, but I’m glad you’re okay!”

Too honest, Luffy! xD

Then Neptune told the Strawhats that one of their crewmates was already there. I knew instantly it was Zoro. Only Zoro could be that hopelessly lost that he’d accidentally infiltrate a palace with only one heavily guarded entrance and a buzzer system.

There was also a handy bit of world-building. Neptune handed Luffy a device that looked suspiciously like a pink dildo with multipurpose attachments. It was called Bubbly Coral and enables the user to form their own oxygen bubbles whenever, wherever. Useful.

They zoomed through the entrance flume and emerged into a beautiful place full of light, grand buildings, colour and dragon statues. Dat real estate.

As soon as Neptune stepped through the door, his Minister of the Right advisor (seahorse guy) got laid into him. “WTF, my lord?? You went out again on your own? You know the situation in this country??” Neptune is like Princess Jasmine All he needs is a cute Sea Tiger pet and he’s sorted. Either that, or Neptune is confident enough in his strength to face whatever’s out there. 

The Minister of the Left (catfish guy) took one look at the company Neptune had brought back and was like, “Um.... my lord, there’s something you should know about those Strawhat Pirates.” They spilled the current intel: Memaids had been kidnapped, which is something human pirates are known to do, and Madame Sharley had predicted Luffy would destroy Fishman Island. Unconscious Zoro had already been taken into custody. The rest of the Strawhats were under arrest!

(I’m having doubts about this Madame Sharley, by the way. I wonder if she’s working with Hordy Jones, or is being forced to work with him? Zero basis for this prediction. Only that the timing of the prediction is pretty damned convenient...)

Then Everyone Fell Out

Suddenly, the Strawhats were surrounded by guards. I say the Strawhats. I mean Usopp, Nami and Brook because Luffy had gone AWOL (more on that later). The Mermen made a sensible, tactical decision to burst the Strawhats’ bubbles and force them to fight in the water. But they made the mistake of showing Nami how to operate the Bubbly Coral. She used a giant one to drain the room of water. (Good job, Nami. Quick thinking as usual!) Brook had a badass moment. That’s why I like him. He can go from his goofy, kind, fun-loving self to scary swordsman with a snap of his bony fingers.

Usopp was ready to throw down, which was a nice surprise. I was so hyped to see what his new weapon can do, but was blue-balled. Ah, well. Next time! :D

Oh, and Zoro let himself out of jail. xD

Or Zori, as Neptune kept calling him. Another trait to add to Neptune being a stand up guy was that he volunteered to fight Zori because he didn’t want anyone else getting hurt. A good king!

The next thing, Zoro had plowed through everyone and Usopp was freaking out about overkill! “FFS, Zoro! We were just going to intimidate them and run!”

Zoro thought, “Yes. Run. Let’s bail.”

Usopp said, “A great plan, but we don’t know where Sunny is. Plus, the coating came off when we crashed through the bubble.”

Nami also added that the Log Pose had been unstable ever since they arrived (what does that mean?)

Then a nearby DDM rang.

Accidental Criminals

This whole scene was hilarious. Honestly, I came into this arc expecting lots of heavy stuff about Fishman vs humans racism and I’m getting accidental criminal activity and comedy hostage-takings. It’s awesome.

Zoro picked up the DDM and Usopp freaked out. “Don’t pick it you, you dumbass!” It was Fukaboshi, the eldest Merprince. He asked Zoro to open the gate.

“Yeah, no can do. But I’ll tell you what you can do...”

For Zoro had spied an Opportunity. (For all everyone calls Zoro a dumbass, he can be really clever sometimes).

“We have your father and the palace hostage. We need a new coating for the Sunny. And we need the rest of our crew: a gloomy woman, a robot, a raccoon, and a dirty water imp.”

“HAHAHAH, a dirty water imp. Classic!” Brook chortled.

“Oh, and a million Berry in cash, please, Zoro,” Nami added.

The Strawhats really have taken a level in grey morality, it’s hilarious. Their reactions to Zoro’s Big Idea were even more than I’d have expected from them two years ago (except Nami. She’s always had half an eye on treasure).  And they are clearly confident they can escape from Fishman Island in one piece.

Fukaboshi agreed because he had no choice. It seems he’s a stand up kinda guy too, because he delivered a message from Jimbei to Luffy (this caused a stir in the palace. Jimbei is even more godly down there than on the surface).

The message was: “Do not fight against Hordy. I will meet you at the Sea Forest.”

Do not fight against Hordy? Really? There’s history between them, right? Jimbei and Hordy, I mean. They were both Sun Pirates. Or is that Arlong and Jimbei? Yeah, I think it’s Arlong and Jimbei. But maybe Hordy was also on that crew? 

Something is up here...

But I never found out what because some Big Booms happened off-panel in the direction of the Princess’ room.

Which happened to be where Luffy was, of course.

Princess Peach

So Luffy, who only came to the palace for food, got fed up within 0.5 seconds of arriving and wandered off. He came across a pair of massive, solid-looking doors. A pair of axes were embedded in them. Must admit my first thought was, “Oh cool, the princess is an angry, fighting type!”

Nope. Completely wrong.

Luffy sneaked inside because he could smell food. One thing led to another and he ended up bouncing on the giant Mermaid Princess’ giant tiddies. (If Sanji ever finds out, he will never speak to Luffy again.) 

Of course, she woke up and was like, “Why is there a tiny human bouncing on my tiddies? I did not consent to this.” And she shrieked and cried, as you would if some hungry, little random was bouncing on you. I love how Luffy could not deal with her giant tears. It’s one of his rare weaknesses. Like, what, why are you crying, stop, plz, I did nothing to you.

Turns out the Princess is not a fighting type. She is actually a terrified, sweet girl who has been locked in a Hard Shell Tower for ten years because Captain Bloody Vander Decken is an annoying fucking sex-pest who will not take no for an answer!

The action briefly cut to him ranting away about how he was convinced Neptune wanted to force her into a political marriage because she was really in love with Decken. That he could not allow her to be with anyone else and he would rather see her dead than with anyone else. “Your life is either death or marriage. I will present her this lovely boomerang axe with a rose on it.” You know, because if you’re going to be decapitated, I guess it’s nice to know it’s done with love and good intentions, right? Absolutely insane. This guy is Major Incel Material.

Of course, Decken’s latest “gift” whirled into the room and Luffy stopped it. He was like, “WTF, where did this come from?”

The Guards burst in and the Princess saved Luffy’s ass by hiding him. Of course, Luffy overheard what had happened to the others. He wasn’t bothered. “Meh, that’s fine. Your lot won’t be able to control them, anyway.” Just goes to show how much faith Luffy has in his crew’s strength after those two years. 

To repay Luffy, the Princess said he could eat her giant food. While he ate, she asked him questions. The most interesting was this one:

“You’re a pirate,” she said. “Does that mean you’re a bad person?”

Luffy thought about this, then answered, “Hmm... I dunno. You decide.”

(Just another incident to add to my growing: Luffy’s Grey Morality Evidence Pile.)

The Princess told Luffy Decken has a DF power called Mark Mark. It sounds pretty useful, actually, (which is bad for her). If he designates someone as his mark, he can throw a weapon and hit them every time, unless an obstacle is in the way. That’s why she’d been locked in the Tower for ten years.

Luffy was confused, as you would be if someone told you that. “He wants to marry you but wants to kill you? WTF?” and said, “Ten years? You must be bored. I’d get sick if someone locked me up for ten years.”

Then he yelled at her because she poked his cheeks while he was eating (tbh, that would make me mad too. Just because he’s little does not mean Luffy is a pet!) But she’s just a lonely girl with minimal social skills because she’s been locked up for so long and she could not handle Luffy yelling at her.

Luffy being Luffy, was honest to the point of being Super Harsh. “You might be big, but you’re a coward and a crybaby. I don’t like you! You’ve stayed hear for ten years, eh? That could make you sick. Isn’t there anywhere you wanna go? Come on, let’s go for a walk!”

Luffy gave her the Unblinking Luffy Stare.

There is no returning from that.

Once he puts an idea in someone’s head and gives them That Look, they are done for.

The whole meeting the Princess scenes reminded me of the Big Baby from Spirited Away. The one who wouldn’t go outside because Yubaba had told him all about germs and he was afraid but was still fascinated by Chihiro because he was lonely and wanted her to play. Except this situation is more complicated because Neptune is a Good Dad and only wants to protect his daughter from a pest who he is trying to arrest but cannot find. It’s for her safety. Just as well Luffy is there with a cunning plan to get her out for a walk, eh?

Nah, Luffy. Absolutely no one will realise there’s something up here... xD

Sex-Pest Shakes Hands With Roid Peddler

Meanwhile, the shady villains have teamed up! I don’t think that’s happened in One Piece yet. It’s an alliance of convenience based on a common enemy. They both hate Neptune for different reasons. Hordy’s is political. Decken’s? Because he’s a sex-pest.

Prediction? I bet Hordy will betray Decken. Evidence? None. Just wishful thinking. I want to see Decken get his pathetic ass kicked. 

“And I would like to add a side order of salt and chili fries to our ransom demands.”

[the-flaming-spade]

30, 32, 34, 36

//This one’s cover’s some NSFW topics, you have been warned. HC’s under the cut…here we go!//

30. Sex

//It would have to be with a s/o, Ace is not a one night stand kind of man. Its a symbol of love and trust with him, to see Ace naked and vulnerable.

He is willing to be a top or a bottom, depending on the mood of his s/o. He can be really possessive and will leave bite marks wherever he can reach, don’t think you’re leaving the bedroom without a dozen hickeys from Ace.

Being rough and commanded is fine, to an extent, if he has a panic attack due to memories, respecting him saying no means the world to him.

He can be very frisky when he is in the mood. Groping, banter and teasing are all fair game. He especially loves making his s/o blush and a stuttering mess. With some gentle convincing and patience he is willing to try somethings, if it means a lot to his s/o. After sex he is all for cuddling, either holding or the one being held.//

32. Birth

//During the pregnancy he is the most doting father. Mother has weird cravens? You bet anything he is either up making it himself, going to get the food. Pickles and chili? He isn’t judging. His s/o and baby want it and their going to get it, no matter what time it is.

In modern its easier for him to accept having a child. In regular verse he is terrified of having a child, terrified of the entire world hating the child simply because of who their father is. He never wants what happened to him and his mother to happen to his s/o and their child.

He would be by their side throughout the entire labor, patting sweat from her forehead and coaching her through it, the whole time internally panicking because: “Is it suppose to hurt that much?! Why is it taking so long?! Oh fuck she’s gonna break my Goddamn arm!”

After the labor, when the child is finally placed in his arms, the look of pure love and awe would over take his ebony eyes. This tiny person in his arms was made from love. He can’t see this ‘horrible demon’ that his bloodline demands that he, and any offspring from him, should be. All he see’s is the sweetest little thing in the world that needs him. He would tell his s/o what an amazing job she did and would just be so overwhelmed by everything he would need to sit down, but he’s got the biggest, dorkiest grin on his freckled face.

The nurse would have to fight him to take the baby, because Ace isn’t putting them down for anything. Like, they will have to go get Marco to get the baby from his arms.

After giving birth, he would be doing everything for his s/o, to the point she needs to tell him to just stop hovering over her. She will also have to tell him to stop picking the baby up every 5 mins. And you can be damn sure, that he has, and is, reading every book he can get his hands on about raising a baby. Also, knowing that they can’t raise a baby on a pirate ship, Ace would have scoped out an island, had a home built or purchased, and will be living there the first few years of his child’s life.

Ace wants to be the father Whitebeard was to him, that his child will know that they aren’t a mistake, that they never have to question if it was a good thing they were born. The rest of the world may hate them, but their father loves them with all his heart. And you can be damn sure that Ace will fight EVERYONE that tries to hurt his child or s/o. He would keep their existence hidden from the rest of the world for as long as he could, so they could have a somewhat normal life.//

34. Affection

//PDA’s (Public Displays of Affection), are not easy for Ace to show. You never know who is watching and if they would mean harm to his s/o or not. Ace is terrified that loving him would put the other in danger and that worry and concern keeps him distant around people he doesn’t know. He may link his hand in theirs, especially if their in a crowd and it would be harder for people to notice a small thing like that. He will certainly stand close to them, as if a reminder to them, and himself, that they are there and he is keeping an eye on his s/o and the people around them.

When he’s somewhere safe, you can bet your ass he is a lot more affectionate with his s/o. Brushing their hair back, stroking their cheek, hugging them and holding them close, nuzzling into their neck, he does all of that.

He will pull them into his lap, if they are just sitting together, and just hold them. He will bury his face into their chest and just enjoy their scent and warmth. Almost like its a comfort to have them there. And he is totally into the pet names, (cough Moon Dragon cough). But if there is a pet name for his s/o you can bet he calls them that, just as much as he calls their real name. If their shorter, or sitting, he will rest his chin on top of their head.

He will also put his hat on top of their head. His orange hat is special to him, its part of his identity and holds a visual representation of the question he asks himself: Is it a good thing I was born? Words aren’t always easy for him to say, so sometimes he will place the hat on top of his s/o’s head and just smile and walk away. His way of letting them know that THEY are the answer to his question and that they are the most important thing in his life.

If you think he won’t buy the cheesiest gifts, just because they make him think of his s/o, you are wrong.

Like, there’s a little figurine in a shop, does his s/o need it? Probably not, but it made Ace think of them so he would get it and leave it somewhere he knows they’ll find it.

Or, respectfully, they made a comment about liking something and he will wait till they leave the store, or go with them and come back later, and buy it for them without shame or hesitation.

When he is having a hard day, he can be slightly clingy, simply just needing to hold them until he can regather himself.

Giving little kisses on the cheek, neck or wrist when he can sneak them if their somewhere PDA’s might not be in their best interest, or full on kisses where they are somewhere he feels comfortable.

He would definitely get one of those necklaces or bracelets that have two halves, usually in the shape of a heart and would wear one half all the time. His brothers and family are welcomed to tease him about it, but anyone else will get an earful. Also, he is the type of person, especially if he’s fully relaxed, will just sweep his s/o off their feet and nuzzle their noses together.

He can be so freaking cheesy, but as long as his s/o is happy than Ace is happy. They mean everything to him, the only person that means as much to him as them is Luffy, just a on a different level. Also, total snuggler if they are sitting somewhere (or in modern their on the couch and watching movies) kinda like a big dog who thinks he can fit on your lap.//

36. Sacrifice

//Ace’s life means less to him than his s/o, they are is everything. The reason he keeps going when he feels like he can’t, the reason he pushes harder back against the world when it pushes against him. They (along with Luffy) are the reason he refuses to let the world devour him completely in darkness. They are the one ray of light in a bleak world that, if he didn’t have, he may not have a reason to keep going.

With that being said, if it was between him living or them living, he will chose them every time. Ace would lay down his life for anyone he loves, if that’s what his life is good for, than at least he can guarantee they survive.

During Marineford, Ace came to terms with his death. He had literally been on death’s door, he had confided in Luffy his inner most thoughts and feelings, and although he no longer wishes for his own death, he will throw his life away for someone he deems more important. Now, does that mean if there is a chance to do something without dying will he take it? Yes, because he promised Luffy (and most likely his s/o) that he wouldn’t die.

This also means he works on keeping a level head in battle, an ongoing process as his temper can burn very bright and make it hard for him to think of anything else than destroying the person that has either wronged him or the people he loves.

Now, if we are talking about someone sacrificing themselves for him, Ace will have none of that. His life is not worth them trading their lives for. If someone moved to take a blow that was meant for him, he would try to, desperately, get them out of harms way.

The entire time he would be yelling at them about how stupid they were and that they shouldn’t be so reckless with their life and that they have so much more worth living for and he is the last person they should be willing to die for, that he isn’t worth their blood being spilled.

And yes, Ace is aware he is being hypercritical, that he holds someone else to a different, and higher, standard than he holds himself and truly he couldn’t care less.

Sacrificing himself for someone more important is done without a second thought, but he is also well aware that his devil fruit does give him added protection against most things, and after training with Rayleigh, he has a good understanding of Armament, so their aren’t many things he is afraid of truly hurting him. Their are only two people in the world, that if Ace was shielding someone from them, would he be concerned that he would actually die. Akainu and Blackbeard, and given what he knows they can do, especially Blackbeard, he rather go through that again then let someone he loves suffer.

Against those two, especially Blackbeard, Ace is well aware there is a high chance he would not escape with his life…and he would not let the person he cared for and was defending anywhere near that man. Never would he wish what he endured on them and if they tried to sacrifice themselves in order to protect them, he would certainly knock them out, with regret for hurting them, and make others get them out of there. He would face down his greatest fear, just for the small chance that the people he love would get away. Ace’s life means very little to him, he finds worth in protecting the lives of the people he loves.

FEATURE SERIES: My Favorite One Piece Arc with RogersBase

  I love One Piece and I love talking to people who love One Piece. And with the series going on 23 years now, there is a whole lot to talk about. As the series is about to publish its 1000th chapter, a true feat in and of itself, we thought we should reflect upon the high-seas adventure and sit down with some notable names in the One Piece fan community and chat about the arcs they found to be especially important, or just ones they really, really liked.

  Welcome to the inaugural article in the series "My Favorite One Piece Arc!"

  My first guest in this series is RogersBase, a Nintendo Brand Ambassador. For my chat with him, he chose the Zou arc, in which Luffy and his crew head to an ancient civilization that sits upon the back of a giant elephant.

  A note on spoilers: If you haven't seen the Zou arc yet, this interview does contain major plot points. Watch the Zou arc starting RIGHT HERE if you'd like to catch up or rewatch!

    Dan Dockery: In one sentence, could you sell me on Zou?

  RogersBase: Okay, here we go — Mystery, romance, and a little bit of the Mammoth Boyz. I think that’s the perfect way to describe the best story arc in the post time skip era of One Piece.

  The best? Really?

  Yeah, by far. For me, at least. 

  Yeah, I feel like post time skip has been a certainly interesting array of storylines. I think my personal favorite is Whole Cake. So much of the back half of it as soon as the wedding goes awry is great, and the entire Katakuri fight is a masterpiece. 

  I think Whole Cake is a totally reasonable answer, and I think you probably like it for the same reasons that I like Zou: the characterization and the drama that isn’t centered around the characters saving a kingdom. The kingdom of Zou has already been destroyed. There’s no saving it at this point. The only thing they want to save is Raizo. So you don’t have to deal with the villain hierarchies and families of say Dressrosa or Wano. And the nice thing about it is that since it’s a shorter, condensed story arc, it really hammers home the motivations of the characters and gives us this terrifying villain that’s not even present for most of the arc.

    I really like Jack. He only appears in a flashback for the most part and he’s a scourge of the kingdom. And then he comes back, only to be hit by that elephant. And that’s one of those things at the beginning of the arc, when I saw this massive thing, I thought “Aw, man. I wanna see what that elephant can do. I hope it hits something” and then IT DOES. I flipped out. It was so satisfying. Did you know that Zou would be your favorite when you finished it?

  Yeah, I think I did. All the arcs up to that point had really high highs, but some of it just didn’t land with me. So to have Oda move away from these long story arcs that end in big one on one fights and go to this shorter, mystery-focused arc: What’s going on with these minks? What’s atop this elephant? Is Raizo still alive? What is The Voice of All Things? What connection does Luffy have to these giant creatures? And with so many great designs and characters, too, with the Minks. It’s really fascinating, and you have bits and pieces that lead up to it, but there’s so much here. 

  I feel like the Minks might be Oda’s purest expression of side characters because he’s playing with all of these animal figures that are both interesting to look at and emotionally evocative. It’s him flexing his muscles as a character artist. And the landscape of Zou as well - It’s beautiful to behold. 

    Especially when you think about the amount of content that’s there in a short amount of chapters or episodes. There’s so much that’s told about the overall world, the Road Poneglyphs, the relationship between the Minks and the Kozuki Family, the Beast Pirates, so much gets touched upon that will expand in later story arcs. There’s beautiful, immediate payoff there and later. 

  It has such a comparatively goofy start, too. They’re climbing this giant elephant on the back of a cartoon dragon that Robin thinks is adorable. And I’m glad she gets a little bit of focus here because, with the Poneglyphs, Zou is a really big set-up arc for Robin. So her role in One Piece’s endgame has exponentially increased. 

  Also, the focus on characterization. In earlier, post timeskip arcs, you have these epic clashes that take down kingdoms, but here you get a cute moment with Robin. It’s so refreshing to see her in a natural element where she’s comfortable.

    What did you think of the Mink tribe’s living situation? The giant white whale tree and the treehouses and all. Do you have any favorite parts of Oda’s worldbuilding here? Not just as a story designer, but as someone who crafts actual places where races and species can live.

  It’s cool to see the animals he chooses for the Minks, and how he constructs the power structure and who controls the land at what time, with the dog during the day and the cat at night. The big pineapple trees and the ruins that you see in the Jack flashback, he created a full-blown, believable civilization. It’s always a pleasure to see Oda working in jungle vegetation-type areas. He really excels in this in Skypiea and in his color spreads. So it seems like Zou is something that he’s wanted to do for a while. And how much effort he puts into it is why you feel so attached to the Minks at the end.

  That’s really cool. There are a ton of anime side character animals, like Kakashi’s pet dogs and the little animals that hang out with Goku and pals, but Oda really lets loose here with a whole species. And as you said, we should’ve kinda seen it coming with all the work he’s done with anthropomorphic animals. But then, you have the big Jack flashback. And the stereotype of the One Piece flashback is “Oh boy, it’s ‘bout to get sad.” But Zou’s feels like an epic piece of mythology, and Jack is just this being of pure cruelty without any kind of sad backstory. How did you feel about it? Did it surpass your expectations?

    Oh, absolutely! To see a character as violent and ruthless as Jack was something needed, I think. He’s an overall threat, not goofy. And his Devil Fruit is fascinating, as you finally see the return of the Prehistoric Zoan type fruit after you last saw it with Drake turning into an Allosaurus. So it’s cool to not only see that Jack can turn into a Woolly Mammoth, but it’s a Woolly Mammoth fighting on top of a giant elephant. And with the way he gets teased leading up to his appearance in the flashback, I remember thinking “How cool would it be if there was a Woolly Mammoth fruit!” and sure enough, there it is! Jack feels like a fulfillment of the promise of the New World — It’s not going to be a cakewalk. Your opponents will be devastating and Jack is so determined, coming because he knows Raizo’s there and then coming back because he STILL KNOWS Raizo is there. He’s like “You can tell me all you want that he’s not here, but I know, and I will crucify you and cut off your limbs. I don’t know why you’re trying to defend this one ninja, but I know he’s here.”

  Zou is kind of a double feature. We have Raizo and the Minks and the lore, but we also have the stuff that leads to Whole Cake with Sanj and Capone. Now, I see Sanji’s whole arc here sometimes referred to as Robin 2.0, because it’s a lot like Enies Lobby on the surface. Guy gets taken by the bad guys and is like “Don’t follow me because they’ll kill you, etc.” That’s always felt a little hollow to me because Sanji is not Robin and they don’t have the same motivation.

  No, absolutely. And I’m glad you mentioned it because it’s phenomenal how well Zou has aged. They manage to give these characterization moments to Robin and Sanji and the crew while introducing all this stuff and managing to make us care about all of it. There are people that are like “I can’t wait for Carrot to officially join the crew,” and it all stems from this story arc. 

    In terms of characters that get done so well that even though their time with you is brief, they still stick with you for a long time, I think a good example is Pedro. He joins everyone and he’s this stoic, mentor figure, a character type that usually doesn't fare so well when it comes to surviving anime series intact. And obviously, RIP Pedro. But it’s a testament to what you’re talking about because he just joins the crew and you’re like “Yeah, sure. Gimme fifty more chapters of him.”

  He’s got this cool eye patch, he has a beef with Big Mom, he knows about the world. And he’s the one who’s sort of the most hesitant to trust the Straw Hats at first after the disaster with Jack and all. But by the ending, he knows that the Straw Hats are the guys that he’s been waiting for. This is the crew that will bring upon that new dawn. And we haven’t even talked about Pekoms yet! He has those ties to Big Mom and to Bepo and to Zou and to Pedro and to Capone, who shoots him. 

  What do you think of the Poneglyph system? It’s both indicative of the Straw Hat endgame, but it isn’t like this magic map. What do you think of it as kind of a quest marker?

  It’s great because you learn that there are a definite few that mean something and that they’re all being held at various places that are run by Emperors. So trying to find them gives you an actual reason to fight these Emperors of the Sea and heading into their territories. They don’t really need to be fighting Kaido in the grand scheme of things, but the Poneglyphs add to the direction of the series. 

  ONE PIECE LIGHTNING ROUND!

(I-uh-I saw the Reverse Self-Ship post you made via a mutual and I noticed you were cool and also an adult One Piece fan so-uh-I'mma leave my lil infodump if you don't mind. Also if you have any pronouns you prefer let me know so I can use the proper ones!)

So as of last week I'm now holding hands with the entire Monster Trio from One Piece. Zoro was an immediate infatuation (and the reason I started watching it aside from just finally having time to invest), meanwhile Sanji and especially Luffy I thought were platonic but I was proven wrong pretty quick.

Uh-I headcanon Sanji as a closeted bisexual and in my little self-insert AU I end up being his kind of "bi-awakening" I guess or at least the first thing that makes him ask the important questions. Uh-I have one self-insert that has a good amount of plotting but I've been primarily using an isekai trope for self-inserting. And since it's already an AU for the isekai and the self-inserting itself-and because I'm really attached to the concept of magic(*cough*andimstillnotoverowlhouseending*cough*)-I made my self insert a descendant of the nearly extinct species of magic users aka witches. So I'd have to figure all that out along with the universe itself and Bi panic.

I think the isekai concept came along as I got a lot more attached to the Straw Hats in general since I'm always a sucker for friendship and found family tropes. And when I got into One Piece life had been taking a bad turn so this is kind of an escape for me.

Back to the self-ship though-I'm still not sure how the relationship would start-but I'd end up being just this 5'4 pink-haired autistic male who ended up being the boyfriend to 3 big strong (but also lovable) pirates. And since I'm shorter and they're also a lot stronger than me, they pick me up a lot out of nowhere just because I was there. I'd take cooking lessons from Sanji, I'd nap with Zoro, and I'd teach Luffy some drawing. But I can't have one without the others now, I love them too much now.

I have little nicknames I'd have them call me, some even pre-relationship. Sanji would call me "Cotton-Candy Head" because of the pink hair (but with a lot more affection than when he started calling Zoro Moss-Head) and then "Little Prince". Zoro would call me "Pinky" for the hair and then after I broke out of my shell a bit he'd call me "Puppy" because once I get comfortable around people I got big ol' golden-retriever energy. Luffy would probably call me "Nugget" and "Squishy" (I have a round face and also I can see Luffy looking at me and having a moment kinda like that one of Dory from Finding Nemo where she goes "I Shall Call Him Squishy And He Shall Be Mine. And He Shall Be My Squishy")

And then I have nicknames for them:

Zoro- Matcha Boy/Man, Teddy Bear (I feel like considering the naps and stuff, he would give good snuggles. I mean-the plush I have of him is nice to snuggle with.)

Sanji- Honey Bun, Sweetums (Because he's the biggest sweetie, his hair is a shade of yellow like honey, and honey buns are good!)

Luffy- Sunshine, Cap' (He's the captain of the thousand SUNNY and he's a bright ray of sunshine in my day and Cap sounds cute to say for him as the Captain of the crew)

And I'mma leave it at that. Uh-thanks for the opportunity to talk about my selfships! Take care of yourself and drink water!

ah! \o/ I love this - my friend has an OC story where the OC is a witch - but not an isekai style. I love isekais. LOVE them, I don't give a heck what anyone else thinks of them, I love them. (I mention this because I love the witch idea, and you both did it very differently too! Similar concepts don't bother me because people always end up with different details and that Delights Me <3 )

I've got notes for my own self-insert via isekai for a few different titles cause my blorbos don't mesh well. It was quite a good idea to fall for the monster trio cause they're all already all there and together XD

The pet names are sending me \o/ they're so cute xD I love little pink-haired masc witch from another world!

Thank you very much for sharing ❤️

A/N: You can also find it on AO3 or ff! Thank you @blueflamebird​ for correcting me :D This chapter is from Zoro’s pov.

“Deal.”

Zoro smirked. That man was going to eat his pride so bad, he had no idea what he just had gotten himself into. At least, someone was having a good time out of it. He wasn't usually interested in  the business of others, especially when it was about love stories, but this time, it was different.

First, he was bored. He hadn't found anyone to fight with in a long time, and his training classes were off for the holidays. Nothing was entertaining. Nothing new, or interesting.

But this phone call- it changed things a bit. Now he could bother someone, and he was already starting to like it way too much to stop.

“You look happy, Zoro,” his roommate said, slightly leaning his head on the side. “What's going on?”

“Nothing,” he replied. “Just got a phone call.”

“A phone call?”

“Yeah. Anyways, what's up with you and these... clothes?”

The young man was indeed wearing some sort of... what, a giant hamburger? Was that really something you would be willing to wear those days?

“Yeah! I'm going to a costume party on Saturday! There'll be meat! Remember I talked about it-”

“For months, yeah.”

“Come oooon... you should really come!”

“Don't wanna,” Zoro sighed.

The other crossed his arms.

“Why not?”

“Not feeling like going, that's all.”

Did he always have to justify why?

“But you're always complaining about being bored!”

“Yeah and so?”

“So do something to kill it!”

“Hrm.”

“So you'll come?”

He stared at his roommate. He was so stubborn.

“No.”

“What? Why!”

“Because.”

He just did not feel like it?

“That is not an answer!”

“Huh, that is.”

“You're not funny, Zoro.”

The swordsman shrugged. They stared at each other for twenty-five seconds before a new argument came:

“I'll do the chores for three days.”

… Oh. This was becoming interesting.

“One week.”

“One week!”

Zoro smiled. That was worth it.

“Okay.”

Luffy let out a scream of victory.

There were times when nothing was happening in your life. Like, literally, nothing. Zoro felt like he was at one of those moments. And he was dying for something exciting to happen.

A new fight, new trainings, a new opponent. Or even an old one. Not obviously something new. Just- something. To kill his boredom.

“God”, he whispered under his breath. “Holidays are so boring.”

He could understand how Luffy felt, all those times when he kept bothering him, whining about how boring he was, and how much he needed entertainment. How did he manage to kill it? How did he succeed in making it go away?

Everything was boring. And Zoro was tired of that feeling.

That's why, when his roommate came back with a penguin – don’t ask why – he didn't mind. After all, why not? Penguins could be good company, and no one ever said it was strictly forbidden to have a penguin as a pet at home. Unless... said penguin was from a Zoo – Zoo which was supposed to not let go of the animals it was keeping and taking care of.

Maybe, the idea wasn't that good. Maybe, yeah, maybe, they should put it back where it belonged before anyone noticed it had disappeared – and before they get into trouble. Besides, it had been a while since they got trouble. Who complained? Not him. Though being bored didn't mean he was okay with having problems to be kept busy...

But instead, he said:

“What's its name?”

“Bird!”

Zoro frowned and turned to the young man.

“Bird?”

“Yeah! Bird!”

“Bird like... flying bird?”

Luffy made a face, looking at him as if he was staring at an idiot. He wasn't the idiot!

“Dude that's a penguin.”

“I know very well the fact he's a penguin! But he told me he decided to fly like birds. So he wants to be called Bird.”

That's insane.

“Why’d you take him here?”

That's what he should have asked first.

“Bird wants to learn how to fly.”

He laughed. Yeah, he got that part.

“And so you're gonna teach him?”

“Well yeah! Why not?”

Zoro sighed. He knew, he knew he shouldn't have made a joke on this. He knew how serious Luffy could be – and stubborn – about stuff like these. Especially if it included “someone's” dream.

“Just bring him back.”

“No,” he said in a very serious tone. “Unless he tells me to.”

The swordsman took a look at the penguin. It looked dumb, and like it had no idea where it was. It also looked like it wanted to swim in the living room. Which he was not approving at all.

“You wouldn't want me to cut it in half by misfortune while I train, would you?”

“Are you threatening Mr. Bird?”

So it was Mr. Bird now??

He quickly thought how to handle this without pissing Luffy off. Just because his roommate had the mind and the imagination of a child, didn't mean he was completely a child.

“I think it wants to get back to its family. I believe it thought you were taking it on a walk but look how confused it is now.”

“I'm pretty sure-”

“Luffy, what about you bring it back and if it does go back to its place, you'll leave it there?”

He shrugged. That was surely supposed to mean “yes”, then.

“How is it going on with your girlfriend, ero-cook?”

Zoro stared at his screen. His thumb pressed “send”.

It's been three days now, and no news from the shitty cook. He wondered if the man would keep his promises – one being his new decisions concerning that 'Conis-chan' girl, and the other their bet. Was he the kind of person too proud to face complications? Was he going to pretend the phone call never happened?

He didn't care, but  he would be a bit disappointed – though he would never admit it. Zoro didn't get any answer until late in the evening, which was only composed of two words:

“Good, obviously.”

“Really?”

No need to meet the guy to be 99% sure he was lying.

“Yeah.”

He smirked. That was all?

“That's it?”

“What do you want, to laugh once again at me?”

“Maybe.”

“Shut up.”

“So I'll just believe you and admit I lost.”

“Really?”

“No. Of course not. What do you think I am?”

“A bored asshole fucking around, arrogant and so very full of himself.”

Now this was fun.

“And yet you're still talking to that asshole.”

“I'm not enjoying this.”

“Oh yeah? How come are you still talking to me?”

“I made a bet. I don't break promises. Why are you talking to me? Nothing better to do?”

“I made a bet, too.”

“That's an answer way too easy.”

“You replied that too.”

“No, I replied that first!”

“Oh that's alright then.”

“Oh my god, just stop talking.”

“We're texting.”

“Right. See ya.”

Zoro paused, looking at the last message, and scrolled through the conversation. The guy was clearly not willing to talk about it, confirming his thoughts. Though at first that bet seemed to be a nice entertainment, now he felt bothered by it. There was a real relationship at stake, and he didn't like to be included in relationship issues or people's problems. Especially if  it was a perfectly random guy's. That’s so not like him.

He lied down and closed his eyes.

Who cared? He wasn't doing anything, no one owed anything to anyone. They were both free men.

“We talked.”

It's been two days since their last conversation, and Zoro replied two hours later, busytrying to free Luffy from the Zoo in which he'd stolen the penguin. The Zoo's security was for sure to be changed, but they eventually got to Luffy. That had been a long, long day.

“That's a big first step in a relationship. Did she reply to your 'hello'?”

“Ahah. Very funny.”

“You almost begged for it.”

“I didn't.”

“You did.”

“No I didn't.”

“You sure did.”

“I. Didn't.”

This man was such a kid.

“Okay shut up and tell me what happened now.”

“So you wanna know?”

Oh, come on man.

“So you wanna tell me?”

“This conversation is nonsense.”

'You are the nonsense', he thought. But instead, he texted:

“Agreed.”

“We discussed, like you said when we talked on the phone.”

“Oh so you admit being a superficial guy?”

“Don't push it.”

“Alright, ero-cook, what happened”

“We had a “cigarette” debate.”

What now?

“She smokes?”

“No. I do.”

“Oh. Aren't you supposed to be a cook?”

“Those are two very different things.”

“Are they?”

“Yes.”

“If you say so.”

“Anyway, we talked about ourselves. I opened up. Somehow we ended up on the smoking question.”

“Oh so you did listen to me...”

“Shut up.”

“You know that answer has a limited amount of use.”

“Shut up.”

“Apparently you don't.”

“She asked me why  I was smoking, I replied, like a lot of people, that it was helping me handle the tension and stress. But she said it wasn't the solution, and I should quit. I know she's right, but I can't promise that.”

“Why not?”

“Did you ever try smoking?”

“Nope.”

“Anything else?”

“I enjoy good drinks.”

“Great, an alcoholic.”

“Hey what?!”

“Imagine being forced to stop drinking.”

“Yeah, nah.”

“I know she's right. I hate to go against her.”

“What happened?”

“She said she didn't dare say it before, but she couldn't handle the smell.”

“That's basically a “me or the cigarette” situation.”

“Yeah.”

“You chose the cigarette?”

“I didn't choose anything yet.”

“No, you already did.”

“What?”

“You chose you.”

“Me?”

“Smoking sucks, I'm not saying I approve, but you obviously can't stop right now.”

“... I chose something else over a woman?”

“That's progress.”

“Not really??”

“Well, your sentence clearly says “over a woman” dude. She's Conis. Not “a woman”. Objectifying her again?”

“Stop doing that.”

“You stop doing that.”

“Shut up.”

“Here it is again.”

“I will kick you!”

“Try me.”

Oh why, he was enjoying teasing him so much right now.

“You have a weird face.”

Zoro looked up.

“Come again?”

Luffy slightly tilted his head on his left.

“You have a weird face.”

The swordsman frowned.

“That's my normal face.”

His roommate frowned back, staring at him for some ten seconds, before he shrugged:

“I guess it is!”

His phone vibrated in the middle of the night, and Zoro groaned in his pillow as his hand looked for said phone. Who was the dumbass texting him while he was sleeping? (Something that was actually often happening).

“I don't know a thing about you.”

Damn ero-cook.

He didn't need to know anything about him, because there was nothing to know. It was not like they were friends or anything, now... Was it? He put down his phone, thinking that maybe, just maybe he'll consider replying this text positively or not on the next day.

...

Five minutes later, he texted back.

“You look awful,” Luffy said when he saw Zoro leaving his room, half awaken, dragging himself to the kitchen with half of his bed with him. He'd rarely seen his roommate in such a state, he'd usually stay in bed all day, or leave it completely, but never in-between.

“Is there someone out there paying you to compliment me every day?” Zoro mumbled.

“What?”

“Yesterday, weird face, today, awful,” he yawned.

“Shishishi, no, but I wish! I'd buy tons of meats with it.”

“Of course you would.”

He sat in front of him, and looked around before asking:

“What's for breakfast?”

Luffy's eyes widely opened.

“You think I'm making breakfast?”

No one was making breakfast here. They've been roommates for years, and not even once did they prepare breakfast. They'd just take anything around, and eat it.

“Right.”

“What's wrong with you?” Luffy curiously asked.

“Texted all night, I guess.”

“Texted?”

The older man took a look at his friend. He could understand the questions behind his eyes. That was unlike him to miss a good night of sleep, if there wasn't alcohol or a fight included.

“With that ero-cook.”

“Oh,” Luffy grinned. “So you like him, huh?”

“N-no, I don't,” he frowned, “it has nothing to do with it.”

“Then why do you keep talking?”

“We have a bet.”

“How will it end?”

“What?”

“Are you guys going to meet?”

“I... I don't know.”

“Did you talk about it?”

“Yeah, on the phone, the first time?”

“There was another time??”

“No,” Zoro whispered not knowing why.

“So when do you meet?”

“I just told you I wasn't even sure!”

Luffy pouted, super-disappointed. Seriously, why was he even roommate with such a kid, already? Oh, right. He had a very mature side surprisingly popping up, sometimes.

“Don't do that face to me, won't work.”

“I don't know what you're talking about.”

“Yeah, right.”

Someone knocked on the door after those words, and before Zoro even thought about moving to open, Luffy had left his seat and already on it.

“Who's that?” he asked.

The door opened on two men he never saw before. Luffy greeted them before turning to Zoro.

“You forgot? We have our party tonight!”

Damn, yes. He forgot.

He stood up and came to meet the guys. One of them was slightly higher than Luffy, curly black hair, without doubt with African origin. The other, about Zoro's height, had a weird eyebrow, blond hair eating half of his face, dressed in a nice suit.

“Remember those guys I told you about? Well, here's Sanji, and Usopp, whom I met yesterday!”

I hope you liked it, as usual, please leave a comment (or like and share!) because I do need an opinion *wink wink* - or you can also send me a message if you want!

Reminder: they never told each other their names :D
