#WBP Ace

[sabo-has-my-heart]

Hey there Astra! Hope you're taking care of yourself and doing well 😄. Can I request Izou, Thatch, Marco, and Ace with a shy!s/o? If it's too much you can just do Izou, thank you so much you're the best!! 🤍

So this is also my @onepiece-bingo submission for 'First Kiss'. Thank you for being so patient with me.

Warnings: first kisses, Shy!Reader, Izou, Thatch, Marco, Ace

Word Count: 1490

Izou

     It was cute how shy you were, how you hid behind him if too much attention was on you, how you sank in your seat to try to not be noticed, and how you squeaked and quietly insisted on being put down if he lifted you into the air. That being said, it was hard to keep a ‘low profile’ when you were dating the prettiest pirate in the New World and 16th division commander. The man attracted attention and oozed confidence and an elegance that drew people to him. You, by comparison, were relatively plain. Choosing not to wear flashy makeup or clothing in order to not attract attention. Head down and refusing to meet people’s eyes so that they wouldn’t approach you. Izou wasn’t really bothered by your shyness, in fact he found it rather endearing and cute. There was… one thing he didn’t like about your shyness though. You hated PDA. PDA always brought attention to you, attention and teasing. The most he could do was hold your hand but even then, you preferred to hold one of his long sleeves, afraid of the attention you might get if you actually held his hand. The crew never teased you on anything, they knew better than to try to tease you, less they invoke Izou’s wrath, but you still worried about all the eyes that could be watching you. He hadn’t even had his first kiss with you yet! But he was going to change that today! He had a nice place to pull you aside, away from the prying eyes of the others, secluded and not likely to be bothered. So pulling you through the halls, he smiled back at you, the confused look on your face only making you cuter.

     “Y/n.” he said softly, caressing your cheek as he closed the door behind you, “it’s not the romance you deserve, but I’ve been waiting too long to do this.” Izou said softly, pulling you into a sweet kiss. Your heart pounded in your chest as you kissed back, wrapping your arms around his neck. Suddenly, you wished you’d done this sooner, that you’d had the courage to kiss him in front of the others. Breaking the kiss, you looked up at him, in wonder.

     “Can… can we do that again?” you asked softly, the dark haired man smiling as he pulled you into another kiss.

Ace

     Ace was wild, loud, outgoing, and commanding. You were shy, quiet, introverted, and timid. Logically, your relationship made little sense, but then, love didn’t make any logical sense. You liked how he was always doing grand gestures to show you how much he cared, how he was pulling you out on some new adventure, and how he showered you in affection. He loved how cute you were, how your need to avoid attention kept him out of too much trouble, how you quietly gave him small gifts. That being said, there were things you both hated. You hated how he was always attracting attention to you, despite your protests, you hated how he was always pulling you into his trouble, and how he’d pull you with him when he was really happy, drawing the attention of the entire crew to the two of you. He hated how you always wanted to be a wallflower during parties, how he wasn’t allowed to show you off and tell everyone how amazing you were, and the one he hated the most, how adamantly you refused PDA. He wanted to walk down the street with his arm wrapped around your waist, he wanted to spin you around in his arms, and most importantly, he wanted his damn first kiss with you! But he’d be damned if your shyness stopped him! It was the dead of night that he tugged you to the back of the ship.

     “Ace, what’s so important that you needed to talk to me at this hour at the back of the ship?” you asked, confused and slightly annoyed. You’d been getting ready for bed, what did he want? Ace just gave you one of his sunny smiles as he pulled you into a passionate kiss, hands on either cheek, holding your head as he sighed happily into the kiss. You couldn’t stop yourself from melting into the kiss, hands gripping his shoulders. Pulling back, he grinned at the dazed look in your eyes. He didn’t bother to say a thing as his arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you into another kiss, neither of you aware of the small audience that peeked through the windows, quietly cheering and exchanging bet money. 

Marco

     Sitting in his office, Marco smiled over at you. You always looked so at home in the solitude of his office, away from the rowdy and often boisterous crew. Helping the phoenix with whatever various paperwork or office work he had. He understood your desire to stay out of the spotlight, to stay away from the excitement and attention that often came with much of the crew. In fact, it astounded him that someone as shy as you even sailed with the Whitebeard Pirates. The most infamous pirate currently alive, someone everyone kept an eye on, and you stayed with them. Getting up, he walked over to you, pushing some hair out of your face and placing a gentle kiss to your forehead, your cheeks turning a light shade of pink. 

     “Sorry, Little Bird, you looked too cute-yoi.” he said softly, large hand cupping your cheek as he sat on the edge of the desk you were working at. Smiling up at him, you leaned into his touch, he was always so sweet. Turning your head, you placed a soft kiss on his palm, the sweet gesture making him sigh happily. Leaning down, he put a hand under your chin, his lips meeting yours, lightly pushing you back into your chair so he could deepen the kiss. Pulling away, you couldn’t help but giggle.

     “What’s so funny, Little Bird?” he asked, as you smiled at him.

     “It’s just… every kiss feels like the first with you. I… I still get butterflies and my stomach still does flips.” you admittedly shyly. 

     “I agree, your lips still taste just as sweet-yoi.” he said with a nod before pulling you into another kiss. He’d never been so happy that he worked away from the crew, able to share kisses like this with you as often as he desired.

Thatch

     The man was a damned flirt, though perhaps that’s what attracted you to him in the first place, how he made you swoon, how charming and sweet he was… his culinary skills didn’t hurt either. Well… mostly, in any case. It was sweet how he’d make you all sorts of culinary confections, cooking your favorite just for you, or other delicious treats. But he was always presenting them in the biggest, most ostentatious, attention drawing ways. Ways that had you looking for somewhere to hide from the prying eyes. Sure, he usually tried to keep said ostentatiousness in private, but on more than one occasion, he’d drawn the attention of damn near the entire crew to you. Hiding in the kitchen, you glanced back at Thatch, making sure that nobody could peek in and see the two of you. 

     “Don’t worry, my sweet treat, nobody’s going to bother us.” he said, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind, nuzzling into the crook of your neck. 

     “I just… you have a tendency to draw everybody’s attention and you know I hate that.” you said, placing one of your hands over his as you relaxed in his hold.

     “I’ll make you a deal, you give me one thing and I’ll try to be better about that.” he offered, making you raise an eyebrow.

     “I suppose that depends on the ‘one thing’.” you said, as he continued holding you.

     “Just… close your eyes and trust me.” he whispered in your ear, making you sigh both from exasperation and your heart melting. Doing as he said, you felt him let you go for just a moment before his hands were on your waist again, picking you up and setting you on the counter as his lips met yours. You wouldn’t deny that you’d been waiting for this moment for a while, but there never seemed to be a good, quiet, moment for your first kiss. A moment where the crew wouldn’t bother you with wolf whistles and ‘good natured’ teasing. Your hands clung to the yellow scarf he was always wearing, keeping him pulled close to you as you remained lip locked until you needed to breathe. 

     “A-alright, that… I’ll allow you one more for free, but after that you have to keep your end of the deal.” you said shyly, staring down at your lap as you blushed. Thatch chuckled and pulled you into another kiss, more than happy to get another ‘freebie’.

It’s me, ya boy,dropping more omega whitebeard stuff on you because I’m deranged

So pops heats don’t tend to be like normal heats with how odd his system is, sure his hormones do still cycle but with no actual ability to have pups why have an actual heat? No instead every so often pops gets super affectionate and the crew loves it. His instincts demand that at some point every one of his pups are grabbed to be scented and given quality time in the nest. Everyone loves it given its hard to get one on one time with pops in such a big crew and who doesn’t love the chance to not have to be a big scary pirate of an emperor’s crew and just get to chatter on to a very indulgent proud pops. Whitebeard also gets the urge to look over the entire ship to make sure things are running well like the ship is one giant nest of his and it’s had an odd effect. Alphas generally tend to be more relaxed about the state of the den and more stressed about the security of it but Marco, who’s been following pops around like a duckling since he basically was a duckling has picked up on these habits and now fusses like the might high strung omega over the wider running’s of the ship. Marco gets teased about this of course, the crew joking that if a barrel gets misplaced he’s liable to pluck his own feathers but even at the approach of another emperor he still so relaxed he could fall over, very un alpha like. Whitebeard however is so proud and turns out Marco wins in the end because ace the omega everyone can agree no one is good enough for loves these personality quirks.

Speaking of ace: heartbreak time. Ace has never really let out a ‘distressed pup’ chirp since he was an infant as he quickly learned he’d never get a response to it. What’s the point of letting out a ‘im a hurt scared in danger pup’ noise when no one would save him and it only made him more vulnerable? Well that changes are marinefold as, on the run from akainu with luffy and nearly caught ace (probably a bit old for it but so scared) chirps. Whitebeard promptly flips his shit in the way an omega with a threatened pup can. Like sure, the marines were vaguely aware that whitebeard was an omega and his odd dynamics with his crew but that day they learned it first hand.

SOBBING AT THE SECOND HALF oh NO he learnt to never make that little endangered pup noise because no one would respond/react/help him so he just learnt to never rely on it wtfff thats so good what the hell im gonna lose it

But Marineford happens and Ace being too old to make such a sound and yet out it comes, a clear, high and definitely distressed sound and Pops showing off that there is a reason he holds the title of the worlds strongest man

It’s a damn shame for the marines that he’s an omega too, because maybe just maybe he may have spared them if he were an alpha

Cryign in these chilis anon

♡ Imagine you and your f/o on a cooking show. Is it a competition or are you just cooking a nice recipe together in a cozy kitchen setting? What are you cooking? If it’s a competition, who is on the rivalry team? What’s your team name? Who is following the instructions and who is setting the kitchen on fire? Are you playing fair? Who is taking the lead and who crumbles under the pressure, needing a minute off camera only to come back stronger than ever? Who mumbles “Cooking Mama would be so fucking proud” under their breath?

Why do I deserve to be here?

Whitebeard has accepted you onto his ship and into his crew, but you keep your past, your struggles, and your problems to yourself. You don't know why he took you in after you told him about your past, but he did. Now, on the verge of a breakdown, you find someone to remind you that it's okay.

A commission for @unadulteratedfunpost

     Putting on a smile, you walked through the halls towards the deck. You couldn’t let anyone know, couldn’t let them see just how much things were bothering you right now. How could you burden them with that? After everything you’d done in the past, after everything that had happened. They didn’t know, the only one who knew was Whitebeard and that was only because he was the captain. Still, he accepted you onto his ship and as part of the crew. You didn’t even know why he’d accepted you. Why would he accept someone like you, someone who’d done what you’d done, onto his ship and into his crew? So you hid behind a smile, didn’t let anyone see what was wrong or if you were struggling. Your heart clenched as you smiled and greeted everyone you passed, finally stepping out onto the deck and into the sunlight. It was a bright, cheery day, a day where the crew messed around and laughed, a day that you felt that you didn’t deserve. 

     “Hey! Y/n, come over here! Ace is about to do something stupid!” Thatch shouted, waving you over. 

     “It’s not stupid! I told you, I can totally pull this off!” Ace said, stepping up onto the railing. Already, you could see that this was a stupid idea. The boy was a devil fruit user yet he stood on the railing of the ship as if he didn’t care if he fell into the waters below. Sighing, you walked up to them, crossing your arms and giving the boy a disapproving look.

     “You’re going to fall into the water if you’re not careful.” you warned, watching his grin widen.

     “Ah, but that’s where you’re wrong! I’ve figured out a way to stop myself from falling into the water! Watch!” Ace said before jumping, your eyes widening as you ran over towards the railing. Watching Ace plummet to the water, you quickly threw off your coat, ready to go after him. Watching his form flicker, fire appearing at his waist. From your place on the ship, you couldn’t tell exactly how far he was from the water when he grabbed onto the side of the ship, but it was too close for comfort. Sighing, the boy boosted himself up using his flames, crawling back onto the deck after a couple of minutes.

     “I repeat, something stupid.” Thatch said with a laugh, making the boy pout for a moment. 

     “It wasn’t stupid, I just misestimated things! I’ll totally get it right soon!” Ace said defensively as you breathed a sigh of relief that he was okay.

     “Just be careful, Ace.” you said, grabbing your coat off the deck.

     “Hey! I’m always careful!” he, once again, defended, making Thatch laugh.

     “Please, you’re just as reckless as when you were first brought aboard! The only difference is that you’re not trying to kill Pops anymore.” Thatch said, laughing as he walked away. 

     “Please be careful, Ace. We worry about you.” you said softly before walking off. As much as you’d love to stay and talk with him, you were worried about what would happen if you did. You were so close to breaking again, so close to losing what little composure you had at the moment. You couldn’t let anybody see you break down. Hurrying away, you tried to calm yourself down, taking deep breaths. Your panic over Ace hadn’t helped things and you were closer to cracking now more than ever. 

     Somehow, you managed to make it through the day, managed to keep yourself together until everyone had gone to bed. Walking out on deck, you quietly snuck towards the back of the ship. Nobody would notice you at the back of the ship in the shadows of the night. Not even the ones on watch would notice you. Leaning against the wall, you let yourself slide down, the tears that you’d held back finally starting to pour down your cheeks. It was too much, it was all too much. How could these people care so much about you? How could they welcome somebody they barely knew? You hadn’t said much about your past and for the most part, nobody pried, but they still trusted you. Why? You didn’t belong on this ship, didn’t deserve their trust, not after everything you’d done with your past crew. Whitebeard was one of the greatest pirates on the oceans, a kind man who took people in and gave them a family and a home. How could you accept such kindness when you were so-

     “What’re you doing back here?” a voice asked, interrupting your thoughts and making you jump. Ace stood just a couple of feet from you, hands in his pockets. Even in the dark, he could see the tears in your eyes, drawing a sympathetic look from the man. Without a word, Ace sat down next to you, pulling you close, “It’s okay. You’re alright.” he said softly, holding you close. Despite your best efforts, the tears just kept coming. The dam inside of you had broken and you couldn’t stop it now. You hated that you were sobbing in front of Ace, but he simply kept his arm wrapped around your shoulders and let you cry. 

     How long you sat there sobbing into his shoulder, you weren’t sure, only that once you had, he was still holding you close and giving you a sympathetic smile.

     “Wanna talk about it?” he asked, once you seemed to have calmed down. All you could do was shake your head. How could you? Ace was one of the kindest, sweetest, nicest, most amazing guys aboard the ship. Of all the people you didn’t want to bother, that you didn’t want to disturb, he was close to the top of the list. Ace hesitated but nodded as he looked into your eyes for a moment before moving his gaze skyward.

     “Then I’ll talk.” he said softly. He recognized that look on your face, recognized the pain in your eyes, it was similar to his own. Keeping the pain locked away to himself, never letting anyone see how much he was hurting, wondering what he’d done to deserve such a great thing. It was a few moments before he said anything, “It’s hard to believe Pops took me in some days. I love it here and I’m happy he did, but why me? Why do I deserve to be this happy? Growing up, I heard people call me trash a lot. Wondered if…” Ace hesitated for a moment, “I didn’t really think I was worth anything. Little brother loved me anyway, didn’t care who or what I was. He was always a happy kid and just wanted someone in his life. We lost our other brother, I felt like I’d failed him. I couldn’t do anything and I failed him.” The guilt in Ace’s voice was thick as his heart clenched, holding back his own tears. He didn’t cry. He was Portgas D. Ace, he wasn’t a crybaby. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, “Tried to be a better brother to Luffy after that. I didn’t know what I was doing and I fucked up a lot, but I tried my best for him. I had to leave him behind when I headed out to sea. We had all planned on making our own crews anyway, so it was fine. I was still a pretty angry kid at this point. Then I met Pops. Everyone either remembers or has been told that story.” he said with a small chuckle, thinking back to trying to kill the mountain of a man, “When I became part of the crew, I didn’t really know why he did it, why did I deserve this? Still don’t know why. Still wonder why. I don’t let anyone know about it, but it’s there.” Ace finished, mournful eyes still staring up into the starry night sky. You couldn’t help but stare at him in surprise. Ace? Confident, happy, carefree second division commander Ace? And he… you swallowed hard.

     “My past crew… they… the things I did while serving on the crew. I did some horrible things. I keep wondering, I was such a horrible person, I did such horrible things. Why did he accept me onto his ship? Of all the people aboard the ship, I can’t imagine a single person who deserves it less than I do. Why do I get to be on such a great crew after what I’ve done?” you said simply, staring at your hands. 

     “Because Pops sees something in you, that’s why. Because Pops doesn’t see our pasts, he sees our futures. He sees what we’re capable of, who we could be and not who we were. You deserve to be here just as much as everyone else. Pops wouldn’t have let you join if he thought otherwise.” Things were quiet between the two of you again, but it was a comfortable silence. 

     “Thanks, Ace. I appreciated this.” you said after a while, smiling at him.

     “Anytime. Seriously, if you ever need a safe place, just swing by my cabin. I’ve got the best post breakdown snacks.” he half joked, “we’re human, sometimes we need to let someone else be strong for us, sometimes we need other people to be there for us and sometimes we make mistakes. Don’t go beating yourself up over it.” He said ruffling your hair. You laughed slightly and pushed him away, trying to fix your now messy hair.

     “I will, but only if you promise to do the same.” you said, holding out your hand. Ace took it, smirking.

     “Alright, but just know, I don’t cry.” he said, making you chuckle. You honestly didn’t care if he did or didn’t. It was just nice to know someone was there for you.

As always reblogs/credit are nice but not needed. I take requests on chars and flags.

[capisback]

I kind of hate that because whoever wrote Novel A vol 2 wanted to make the whole kidnapping situation seem milder, they butchered the Spade Pirates’ characterization. I mean, here’s a crew that’s devoted to their captain, a crew that’s following a crazy seventeen year old into any adventure and doing so because they care about him, and when said captain is kidnapped by the strongest man in the world after challenging him, they just kinda...... choose the other guy’s side? Like, what? The saddest part about it is that Ace didn’t have anyone to fall back on after that. They abandoned him. His supposedly loyal crew, even Deuce who described Ace as “his guiding light”, didn’t support him. It’s ridiculous.

Or for the kiss stuff have you considered Marco being busy running a lot of errands or something and Ace just getting real needy and frustrated because he wants Marco's affection and at the end of the day gets so fed up that he petulantly whines and begs for a kiss and Marco fucking delivers, because I mean how could you say no to that?

This is so aawwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhh worthy freaking cute as hell

Can I build on this? Bc I like to think Ace would try and be polite about it all, he knows Marco is busy, he knows it but Marco’s also Ace’s first (and last) involved, romantic relationship and that’s just such a wonderfully positive and exciting thing for Ace

Mostly bc he’s had quite the upbringing, neither Garp nor Dadan were gentle in the way they raised Ace n Luffy but beneath their rough exteriors we know these middle aged grumps loved Ace like he was their own child ANYWAY

The love Luffy Garp Makino Dadan and the bandits etc could give Ace isnt the same as Marco, I love hurting myself over Ace’s self worth wars, like he feels like he can’t be loved, not when he’s the son of the supposed devil that is roger

Like being strong and building his own name would make him happy, and maybe it does but I don’t think it would satisfy him, what the poor babe rly wanted was a family and i cry??? Thinking about it being the WBP he belongs there he fits right in there this crew and pops are the missing piece in his heart AUGH this just gets me im sorry this was about kissing initially wasnt it

What i mean to say is Ace would try and hold back a lot, even though he really likes Marco and wants to be greedy or want things from him, but doesn’t think he deserves—he thinks he hides these wants well, funny thing is Ace is kinda an open book, he’s an emotional dude (everything we’ve seen of him he shows it so obviously in his face his actions his voice wah i love himmm) and Marco can tell he’s wanting

So maybe Ace does get a little petulant, a little whiny over being unable to spend time with his boyfriend, maybe annoyed that Marco doesn’t delegate these chores and errands to division crew, and worst of all he’s waited hours for him too :(

But perhaps his pride tangles with all these feelings and he sort of does everything and nothing about it all, to the point that when Marco finally comes back Ace just launches himself at him wordlessly, face tucked into Marco’s shirt kind of deal, like guilty wanting apologetic need all at once

Marco soothing him and asks him directly what does he want and Ace replying quietly that its him and Marco kisses him because how could he say no to that? Youre right godgh im so sorry if i twisted your idea too much idk i just think Ace is such a lovely complex man and Marco would be his rock, his shore, his lighthouse

I love that

[supermarine-silvally]

@Yara What's ur usual day on a pirate ship like when nothing special is going on and u are not fighting anyone?

"There is always plenty to do on the Moby Dick, even when there's nothing overtly exciting going on. Mostly we receive our orders each morning from Pops, but here's a few things I tend to do on a daily basis. And yes, as vice-commander, I take care of the paperwork for Second Division. What, you thought Ace would actually bother to do it?"

Ask Yara (or any of my OCs) anything!

[ace-no-isha]

me freaking out with anxiety and thinking of the wbps giving me a hug when i feel really depressed and anxious and immediately calming down…yeah i’m in this one piece shit for life
