Garp, Koby, And Helmeppo With A Pirate S/O

➼ Word Count » 0.7k ➼ Warnings » None ➼ Genre » Romantic

Garp

He hates that he’s fallen for someone of your stature. He hates that you're considered a criminal in the eyes of the government. He hates that you willingly throw yourself out into the light of ridicule. He hates that you’re constantly in danger, but most importantly, he hates that the two of you can’t legally be seen being friendly with each other.

There are moments when he considers offering you a spot alongside him in the navy, but he knows what you'd say and it shatters him.

So many people in his life have already chosen the same path as you and he can't help but watch them all ruin themselves because of it.

He’d probably make it so that he and his unit followed your ship around, mostly just to tease you, but also because he's severely worried you'll end up in danger.

A part of him lives for the power dynamic between you both. He likes being able to arrest you whenever he wants, and he LOVES how you could kill him whenever you caught him alone (or at least try to).

Whenever he manages to get you both alone, he'll bring your hands up to his lips and kiss them, begging you to, at the very least, consider the idea of being a marine — to consider the idea of putting your talents into something a tad bigger than yourself.

Forbidden lovers, but in the saddest kind of way. Where Garp lays awake at night thinking of whether or not you'll survive the night without him. But he'll have to learn to let go of his naturally protective nature.

Koby

He feels so conflicted. He wants to be with you so badly, but he’s scared to be found out. It weighs on him to the point where he’ll constantly be promising you that he doesn’t feel ashamed of you or any other negative connotation you could connect with it, he just really wants this job.

He'll sneak around and try to hide your files so that you slowly become more and more forgotten about by the Marines. He wants to get you out of the public eye as much as he could possibly manage.

Every time he sees your wanted poster he tears it down (although he does keep one folded under his cot).

When he does finally get to see you, he'll hold your face in his hands and just smile lovingly at you, telling you everything that's happened since your last departure.

He always comes bearing small gifts — what kind of boyfriend would he be if he didn't? It's always something that resembles him in some way — his old dog tags, a crumpled note, and sometimes even your missing files.

And when the two of you have to leave, he'll fall into a short depression, wishing that one day, the two of you could be together openly without the fear of persecution.

He honestly couldn't care less about whether or not you're a pirate, he loves you for you, the labels don't mean anything to him.

Helmeppo

He loves the thrill of it all. He adores the way you both have to sneak around just to meet up with one another. It floods him with the best kind of adrenaline.

He won't tell a soul about you until he gets drunk. Which makes him the worst one on this list. Once he's a bit intoxicated, he'll blabber on about you for the whole night.

You'll probably end up arrested due to how much he mentions you.

Old habits die hard, however, and he'll find himself scrounging up cash to pay off whoever it is being sent after you.

He's following you around the second he finds out you're both on the same island. He makes it sooo obvious and you'll have to tug him into an alleyway so no one arouses anymore suspicion than they already have.

Helmeppo doesn't care if the two of you get caught — he can deal with all that later — he only cares for you and the fleeting moments spent together, even if it means your secret relationship is plastered in the news.

Crack theory: Since Netflix was determined to nail the “One Piece” live action adaptation, they wanted to make sure they hit all the necessary anime-isms (crazy fight scenes, strange hair, power of friendship, etc). However, when Netflix realized that gratuitous fanservice is also an anime-ism, they realized that they needed to tread lightly to avoid backlash and accusations of misogyny from general audiences. So, Netflix decided to give us fanservice with a character that won’t generate any controversy.

That’s why we got Helmeppo ass.

The main thing I really didn't like was that Live action Helmeppo didn't get a gun or get kidnapped by his dad.

For those who need a reminder or don't know, he "considered Helmeppo a worthless son not worth hitting. After Morgan was stripped of his rank and incarcerated, he escaped and took his son hostage, at which point Helmeppo finally disowned his father and changed his personality"

I think it's really important for his character to stop being a daddies boy and turn into a nervous ball of panic, attachment issues and gives him that reason to cling onto Koby so much beyond 'We're the same age and rank so I guess'. It gives him self doubt in a way that's different to 'aww no my dad failed so I'll fail too because I'm related to him', it's supposed to be more like 'My dad doesn't love me, I'm useless, he used me, he was gonna kill me, what do i do with my life now?' And then he clings to Koby because they both got kidnapped by him, are victims of abuse and he is the only genuine kindness he has had at least in a very long time because Koby didn't care that his dad was important alao meaning Koby didn't care when his dads power was taken away.

I wasn't going to post this but doing that survey reminded me that I am actually really weirdly mad about this detail. I didn't think I gave a shit about Helmeppo but apparently I do.

More cats from Twitter, I've been having a stressful week sorry for all the cat posting lmao

(Helmeppo is the most drowned looking cat ever, fugly lil dude I love him. Koby is a pinkish flame point Siamese, and absolutely TINY he has stunted growth, this is him not looking like an overgrown kitten for once. Law is a black cat that has vitiligo and will eventually turn completely white)

You are loved

I felt bad for making him sad, so he gets a hug from his emotional support nerd

[deadite-central]

Meep meeps

They’re transparent so they can hold hands

[tamayokny]

I did not expect to see Helmeppo naked in the first episode thank for your service Aidan Scott

[zoraideales]

OMG LOOK HOW CUTE KOBY LOOKS 😭💞🥹

[incorrectmarines]

WOO! Hobbies for all of the SWORD members have been revealed!

They all fit very well, specially Helmeppo’s! Cute to see Koby kept his love for fishing!

Funny to see that Prince likes dancing, Hibari’s are also very cute and fit her so well

Kujaku’s first one is… questionable but the making sweets one is nice, we already knew X Drake’s but it’s always funny to remember how much of a nerd he is

Koby and Helmeppo’s relationship in OPLA reminds me so much of Harry Potter and Draco, but I think it's done better with them because instead of them being like "enemies" the whole time, they become unlikely friends with different ideals.

[strawhatghost]

This is live action Helmeppo right?

[r4inb0wc4f3]

Teacher and student ✨

Oda was a coward for not giving them the dynamic they deserved, to me Bogard was the one to help Helmeppo chose his weapon and the one to teach him how to use them

[ceruleansuit]

May sad Meppo be upon ye
