“Fuschia, huh?” one of the buyers mused, hefting a bass between his hands. “I visited once, but it’s a long time ago now. Not much to write home about, but I remember the woman who ran the bar.” He chortled, although it wasn’t unkind, “A battle-axe if I ever saw one!”
“Must have been a different lass than the one who runs it now,” the fisherman said, this time with a wistful note. “Bonny as a sea-nymph, she was. Eyes that could make a man forget where he’s going.”
Shanks paused.
The buyers laughed. “What the hell are you doing back here then?”
He waved them off, and their good-natured heckling. “She had a babe on the way. Didn’t see a husband anywhere, but that’s often the case for tavern girls. Rakes will be rakes, I suppose. Shame for a lass that lovely, though. She―”
He saw them look up where he’d appeared on the docks above, and might have wondered what his face looked like, seeing their exchanged glances, but didn’t care what they thought, or that he had truly gone mad now, as, “The barmaid,” Shanks rasped.
“Describe her.”

One Piece mermaid HC:
Would love some suggestions!
Some of these hcs are random, others
Luffy: sea-bream
Ace:
Sabo: sailfish. It's just the coloring.
Hancock: Orca whale, since they're matriarchal, which fits a leader of an all-female society.
Sandersonia: sarcastic fringehead, because of her giant mouth.
Marigold: Oranda
Scratchmen Apoo: giant pacific octopus

“You know, with all the stories I’ve heard about the Kuja tribe, I’m surprised to be leaving this way,” Shanks said.
Leaning into his hand, Makino hummed. “It’s the first time an Empress has left in broad daylight. If we were following tradition, it would be under the cover of night, and they’d whisper rumours of how you stole me away.”
“A pirate worth his salt would steal you away in broad daylight with your whole tribe watching,” Shanks said, his eyes dancing, steel under his scars. “That would give them something to talk about.”
The impulse seized her, one that belonged to a younger girl, who’d imagined such a moment more times than she’d been proud to admit; who had wanted it so fiercely, but who had been too scared to claim it.
But she was no longer afraid, not to want or to claim it, but then she was a pirate, and, “Well then, Captain,” Makino said, and saw from the rakish grin that split his face that he'd caught on.
“What are you waiting for?”
