#Nami is a weather girl for the local news station

[jojococomo]

[Before Law can get a word in edgewise explaining how he would rather not. Luffy's gone in a whirlwind. Or a typhoon. Any natural disaster that left the land devastated in its wake. Law is left standing in the middle of the cafe, clutching his phone as the door slams shut behind Luffy, the bell ringing his exit. 

Law slumps into his stool, suddenly exhausted. 

“Sorry about him.” Nami says sliding into the seat that Luffy just vacated, “He’s like that. Once he takes a shine to you, that’s it. He’s all in. He has no care about whether you want to be his friend or not.”

“We’re not friends.” Law mutters. Nojiko snorts into the mug she’s drying, “I barely know him.”

“I’ve been friends with him for years and I barely know him.” Nami responds with a shrug, “That’s just Luffy. Count your blessings that he likes you. People he doesn’t like usually get punched in the face.”]

I should be working, but today brain bad. Here's a peek into my LawLu hospital AU that is never going to see the light of day because i'm a BAD person who can't finish things.

so about that modern au i wrote about ages ago 😳 I've decided to localize it in madrid!!

luffy is from a tiny seaside valencian town. his dad was involved in the early 2000s housing market economic bubble, making benidorm a hellscape and all that. his other dad is a països catalans independentist. his biggest influence as a kid was shanks, a football legend from valencia c.f. that spent his summers in luffy's town. he now lives in madrid with his brothers in what they thought was a squat (garp was paying the rent behind their backs). doesn't really have a real relationship with his dads, but he's very fond of his dad's girlfriend ivankov, who runs his fave drag club. any pronouns transfag who doesn't bind. speaks fluent valencià

zoro is a basque punk. he ended up in madrid because he took the wrong train at the bilbao station. gym rat and all that. currently lives in the storage unit of johnny and yosaku's business. best friends with kuina (alive and transmasc in this au), hates his twin sister tashigi with a passion (she's a national police officer after all). him and perona were adopted by mihawk when they were very young. he/him transfag with green hair and more piercings than a pincushion. speaks euskara batua

nami is from murcia but downplays her accent sooo much (think la kinki from la pija y la kinki). influencer who got cancelled, she originally came to madrid to study meteorology and become the weather woman. maybe she'll go back to college some day. currently she's couchsurfing through her girl best friend's apartments since vivi kicked her out of their shared place. she/her femme lesbian who has "completed" her transition.

usopp says they're from barcelona but they actually grew up in a tiny bedroom-town adjacent to the city. ironically the most skilled and well rounded person from the squad but the least confident in their worth. shared a huuuge apartment with their gf kaya, but she went back to barcelona to do her residency there, so now they're looking for roommates 👀 afrodescendent, speaks a bit of fang and fluent català, but can't understand luffy to save their life. works at humana and has an etsy store. they/them bisexual nonbinary transfem, pulls people all over the queer spectrum

sanji was born in tenerife from a british expat family but moved to madrid to live on his own when he was VERY young. zeff hired him knowing he wasn't even 16 and ended up adopting him. during the 2020 lockdown he had a very popular tiktok account where he cooked designer dishes shirtless but now it's all been deleted. secretly performs as a drag queen in ivankov's drag club, is fucking the bouncer (ace). the biggest egg you've ever seen, will end up identifying as a she/her bisexual trans woman, but a lot has to happen before she can do that...

more mugiwaras under the cut!

robin is an archeology professor at the complutense. originally from [REDACTED], speaks with a completely standard accent and is fluent a couple dozen languages. somehow knows luffy's dads? the intelligence brigade spies on her regularly and they joke about it sooo much. judo black belt. works with the ARMH. she/they in a t4t bi4bi d/s open marriage with franky.

chopper is a child prodigy from córdoba who came to madrid to study medicine. kureha, his legal guardian, set him up to live with frobin, thinking a young couple of respectable professionals will be a good influence on him!! jokes on her chopper came back with pink hair, a new gender and a boiling hate for capitalism (kureha's chill about it don't worry). is starting to have contact with real live patients and is soooo scared to mess up. has ended up stitching zoro in the er more times that he would like. has a local speech modism from córdoba where he calls people close to him "padre" and "madre" and when i tell you franky straight up started sobbing the first time chopper called him that........

franky is from ferrol.
