Soooo excited to read your Xmas event! Can I request fluff with luffy and #14

Hi! So this was a really hard combination. But, I also used this as an opportunity to try my first One Piece Modern AU. I hope you like it and Merry Christmas!

Day 20:  Luffy - I Need You To Pretend To Be My S/O for the Family Christmas Party

“I need you to be my significant other for the family Christmas party,” your bestie Luffy asked you randomly one day on your way home from school.  

“Why?  I mean I guess but why?”

Both his brothers were in happy loving relationships.  And one day they were joking that Luffy wouldn’t have anyone to kiss under mistletoe with and he lied and said he did.  Sabo told him to bring them to the family Christmas party.  And now here Luffy was.  Asking you to be his significant other for one night.  

“Great!  Thank you Y/N!  The party starts at 4:00PM at my house,” Luffy said as he and his famous straw hat walked away from you.  Oh boy!

Luffy was starting to get nervous.  You still hadn’t shown up.   Ace and Sabo were starting to doubt he had a partner.  “Just drop it Luffy,” Ace said, setting food down on the table, “we know you're not in a relationship so just admit it was a lie.”

Just as Ace said that.  There was a knock on the door.  Sabo walked over from his seat on the plush couch and opened the door to see you.  You were wearing a nice pair of dark jeans and a nice plaid sweater.  “Hi,” you said shyly.  You never actually met his brothers, so you were a little nervous.  Luffy ran up to you and hugged you tightly.  You hugged him back to keep up the act.

“So how long have you two been dating,” Ace asked, crossing his arms.

“About 2 months.  But we’ve been friends for about 7,” you answered calmly.  The two brothers interrogated the two of you about your relationship for about twenty minutes and then you all ate.  You actually had a great time being Luffy’s significant other.  He was super nice and caring.  He made you laugh and made sure you were comfortable the whole time.  At the end of the night, Luffy decided to walk you to your car outside their tiny little house.

“I should probably kiss you,” he said blatantly, scratching the back of his head nervously.

“Why?”

“Because Ace and Sabo are watching from the window to see if it’s just an act.”

You nodded.  You both of you leaned in.  The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but it felt magical.  Later that night, Luffy texted you asking you to be his partner.  You of course said yes.  You were happy that you were now his real significant other.

Hi, another fan of SSSBMTY here! First of all, I just wanted to say how much I've been loving the fic so far. I haven't really had any time to get into long fics recently but yours was really amazing and I just wanted to let you know that.

I was curious if you would do a slight redesign with the boa sisters for the upcoming chapter like how you did with sabo (I refuse to believe that ace and luffy's brother isn't just extremely white passing like hrithik Roshan lol)

I also wanted to ask if you would be ok with me writing a SSSBMTY spinoff with my own oc (yes I did see the previous ask but I just wanted to double check). I was thinking of starting it at Amazon Lily bc idk if I could write 133 chapters until my oc meets Ed

Once again, I can't wait for another update

Aw thank you darlin, that means a lot :)

I mean honestly, I tend not to poke much with the canon designs of characters unless I got the little gremlin fixation in me (Woe Piercings Be Upon Ye beam notwithstanding). I DO think that given them living on a little island where there's no wind or CLOUDS where they wear, ahem, not a lot of very covering clothing means they should ABSOLUTELY be tanned as FUCK, but I like the Boa sisters canon appearances. They're a little weird and freaky and odd and I dig it. Boa is a whole other can of worms I am afraid to poke. (You're so real for that Sabo thing. You're so real for that.)

I adore y'all writing SSSBMTY spinoffs, at this rate there's gonna be a fucking FLEET of stuff in the inspired by section of the work lmaoooo. Go right ahead pooks!!!

for today's brainrot inspired by quin:

whitebeard family beach episode family vacation

you're staying with the whitebeard family so of course you're coming on the family vacay originally when they mention it you try to brush it off, you're indebted to them already for letting you stay with them you can't possibly intrude on their family vacation that is until pops is like no you're coming no negotiations (he views getting his kids like the cat distribution system I feel, so at this point you just belong with the fam)

and it's fine, sounds fun to go to the beach. That is until you're reminded that these guys are loaded when you show up to a mostly private reserved house with attached beach after being squished between luffy and ace in the van and they both snore on your shoulders

and before the trip you went shopping for swimsuits with nami and you're nervous bc you feel like she went a little overboard and you don't want to wear anything inappropriate around all the brothers and before yall left you tried to find ace to ask him about it but ran into izou instead and he offered to take a look and give approval or not which is fine, izou is very respectful (but he 100% makes it a point to brag about it around sabo/marco that he got to see your swimsuit first in private)

and your swimsuit IS fine, what you miscalculated on was the fact that all of ace's hot brothers are roaming around in THEIR swimming suits and you're like damn it's hot on this beach and just trying not to get caught staring (not that that works but....)

sabo wants to take you out on a jetski, and marco wants to take you tubing, but anytime either of them come up to offer luffy/ace/thatch interrupt the two brothers run into each other at breakfast since they both seem like early risers and conclude that neither of them are sabotaging the other, and rightfully suspect izou who's having a blast

so they just make a deal where they'll be each other's buffer to the interlopers and manage to squeak out some little 'date' time in activities that have you in close proximity with very little clothings in between like having to hold onto sabo on a jetski (or him behind you showing you how to drive) or getting tugged on a tube behind a boat with marco up snug to make sure you don't blow off

then watching fireworks together on the beach sandwiched in between them because ace and luffy are running around lighting the fireworks off and them getting realllll close bc they don't want you to get cold!

oh but I also was thinking whitebeard would just be watching it all with amusement and he'd have a bet with one of the older sons on how long it takes for SOMEONE to make a move but I don't know the older sons well enough to pick one tho

that's what I got for now I need to adult and put a shelf together but like idk if you've watched ouran high school host club but I was thinking about their beach episode the other day and I think that's what made this come into my brain

.... I'mma write this story. I mean, I'm just going to have to start it tonight, that's all there is to it. I'd apologize to everyone waiting on updates to other wips, but I gotta go where my brain goes, and my brain is now on the beach.

YES I LOVE OURAN HOST CLUB AND I LOVED THE BEACH EPISODES (the fake beach and the real beach one).

After the beach Izou just starts pulling you into projects and jobs with him directly. He's not trying to steal you away from Marco or Sabo, but if he can't send people in, he'll just drag you out. It might seem like he's just being a little shit, but he really just wants to move the confession along.

This is all post dealing with your exes and getting over you being tangentially familial for both of them, and he's waited long enough. It's painfully obvious that the three of you like one another romantically, and he's 99% sure you're only quiet about it because you feel indebted to the family and don't want to cause drama.

No matter who you "picked" there would be tension and raw feelings afterward. What Izou needs to try and help you understand is that choosing both is as valid an option as anything else. Marco and Sabo are already working together to stop Izou from interfering, so there's already a good healthy foundation for it.

Half of Izou's interference is to prod Sabo and Marco to confront him - and when they do he lays out the entire concept of a throuple or threesome or whatever, and I feel like Marco and Sabo will both be like "Yeah, we've talked about that." kind of deal.

(Izou and the reader are going to be on the same time table if I can write this how I want. Twitchy and an inch away from yelling "GET ON WITH IT" or "KISS ALREADY" xD by the time things really start moving.)

One Piece Advent Calender Door 6

Door 6: Traditions

You just finished up helping Nami with her mikans, now resting on the snow-covered deck on a cloud pillow as “Je!”, Chopper came running to you with a big bag of Cotton Candy. “Oh, got a sweet treat?” “mmh! Can I rest with you?” “Oh why of course”, moving your finger, a smaller cloud sweeped Chopper up. “Ah, this feels like heaven” “Like Skypiea?” “Yeah, but your clouds remind me of cotton candy”

Leaning back, you looked over the ship. “Chopper, you grew up on Drum. Was there more snow than here?” “Yes. There was a lot more. Sometimes it snowed so much that I had to use heavy point to not sink in” “mmh, sounds nice” “why do you like the snow so much?” “Why? The world rest under a snow blanket, giving nature time to sleep. Not to mention sitting in front of a fire, blanket over you with a cup of steaming hot choco” “What did you do on Christmas?” “Me? Hmm, family breakfast and dinner...I usually read a book and be all quiet on the couch...I don´t have a real tradition to be honest”, you scratched your cheek. “What´s a tradition?” “A Tradition? It´s something you do once every year. For example, decorating the tree with your family or craft your own decorations, baking christmas cookies, playing music in front of everyone, or sing christmas charols”

Choppers eyes widen. “Can we also make christmas tradition?” “And what would you like?” He looked at his empty cotton candy bag. “mmh, I don´t know” “Hm~ would you like to make your own cotton candy?” His eyes began to shine. “We can?!” “Yes, of course. Shall we?” “YES!”, he eagerly jumped down and dashed to the kitchen. “Come on, Je! Come Come!” “Slow down Chopper~ it won´t run away”

Just a bit later everything was prepared, the mashine already running. “So, which color would you like?” “Pink!!” “Ok, take a bit with the Spoon and drop it inside” “Like this?”, Chopper did as you told him. “Yes and now...we roll it fastly up until nothing is there anymore” Chopper laughed as the candy rolled arund the wodden stick, growing bigger and bigger. “and done!” “WHOA!, so cool. Thank you” “Of course, of course” “Can I get one too?” Both of you turned to the door “Luffy! Look! So much cotton candy made Je for me” “I saw, Chopper!”

You smiled how both interacted. Like a big and little brother. He talked with Chopper while you made your boyfriend a special cotton candy.

“Luffy?”, calling him, he looked up, his and Choppers eyes sparkling. “HOW COOL!” You handed him the stick, your boyfriend gleaming with happiness. “my straw hat!” “Je je! Can we make this our tradition? Can we do this every year together?” “Oh, I´d love to” Hugging your leg, the reindeer beamed before walking out again. “Tradition?” “Yes. Chopper asked me what traditions are” “Ah! I see...do we two have one?” “A tradition? Hmm” “I had one with Sabo and Ace! When there was enough snow, we made a round home where we could hide next to our base. Was cold but nice” “Hm~ sounds nice” “It was! Truly! I´ve deciaded!”, he pointed at you, “I will find us two a Christmas tradition! Just for us two!” “Bub, you repeat yourself” “Did I? Oh, shishishi!!! But I will, you will see!!”

And with that, de dashed out, munching on his cotton candy.

[sugiwa]

SUGIWA!!! i’ve been on vacation and came back to four new updates!? happy birthday to me?? i don’t want to bombard you with my thoughts on every single chapter so i’ll focus on the ones that won’t shut up in my head right now.

a reunions between brothers!! ace and sabo, questioning ace’s tattoo (hilarious!), the dynamic and simplicities of brotherhood, “what does it matter what has happened, he’s here now” WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONE IS GOING TO DIE?!?! (she comments with tears in her eyes)

all the interactions with ace and sabo, ace sabo and penny, penny and luffy WOW these four doofuses really do gravitate and circle around each other like planets.

i eat up absolutely every single scrap of shanks and the red hair pirates so these past few chapters have fed me most wonderfully.

things that keep me up at night: whitebeard’s thoughts on penny. are you going to write the meeting between shanks and whitebeard? penny’s devil fruit (WANO COME SOONER). penny and sabo in marineford. will there be another showdown between penny and blackbeard? penny and shanks reunion when? smoker and tashigi seeing penny again.

p.s. but penny is so don quixote coded. illusions of grandeur, a trusty steed (boat), ever-hungry need for adventure and a good tale (all in all, just a lovable delusional idiot <3)

I hope you enjoyed your vacation!! Lol, yeah, I was very inspired over the last few weeks and writing's my way of diffusing, so real life stress kinda had me at the keyboard.

I live and die by that one-shot Oda drew of Sabo saving Ace--we could've had all three of them meet as adults!! But, Luffy's development is so central to the plot. When I first read OP, I was sadder for Luffy than I was for Ace. His grief is so poignant and the anime really cuts deep with the scream, but the manga panels live in my soul.

Hahaha, they do gravitate toward one another. We haven't had an Ace, Sabo, Luffy flashback yet, but when we do, you'll see that there were a lot of traces of Penny left in Foosha, so even though they never met, Ace and Sabo kinda knew what she'd be like before meeting her. Penny's the one that got blind-sided by Luffy's family 😂😂

TBH, I could write a whole story on just the Penny + Red Hair Pirates. Penny really shares that aspect of not wanting to coast on someone else's fame like Buggy, but unfortunately for her, she couldn't really escape it since Shanks is still alive. She's been away for so long that going back scares her because she's changed so much and already was kinda the odd-one in the group. But she misses them so much, it's in everything she does.

Whitebeard’s thoughts on Penny: we will get these and we'll get a little insight into how he knew Penny's mom. RIP Lucy 😔.

Her Devil Fruit....no comment.

Marineford Part II: it's going to be a war. We'll also see the Warlords actually do a bit more than they did in the manga, so that'll be exciting. Actually, Sabaody, Impel Down, and Marineford are kinda a team-up between Sabo and Penny 😂😂

Ah, Blackbeard has his role to play too. We'll see him again.

Penny and Shanks reunion...let's say Film Red's gonna look like the prequel 😭😭

We will see Smoker and Tashigi soon too. We're actually going to see them in the immediate aftermath of Penny's escape in an upcoming chapter.

Okay, this is where my nerd-self comes out, yes to the Don Quixote parallel but there's this medieval French novel called Gargantua and Pantagruel and it's kinda where Penny's character came from. In the books, there's a character called Panurge and that was Penny's inspo (tbh, I was going to have her use Penny as a nickname to hide her more awful name, but then decided against it). Panurge coming from the greek panoûrgos meaning knave or ready for anything and in the opening sequence, Panurge goes on this long rant introducing himself in ten different languages, but in terms of story, Don Quixote fits beautifully and the fall from delusion to reality does parallel here, but as we'll see in the time-skip, Penny's built for wishing.

[rockyspotwrites]

Ace and Sabo never really believed that Luffy had a dragon, not even when he absolutely, positively, completely believed that it was coming to visit soon and that he would introduce them to it.

They just shrugged it off as a Luffy thing and went on about their days, even with their stubborn little sibling kicking their heels and cursing them like a sailor. He was just being Luffy, and they both knew how... creative Luffy could get.

Or so they thought.

It was a few days after Gramps had made one of his rare visits, and Luffy was practically vibrating out of his skin, always racing down to Foosha with his much more hesitant brothers in tow, only to find nothing of interest. Day after day it went like that, Ace and Sabo gradually getting fed up with him and only really tolerating it because Makino was nice and gave them easy food.

And then there was a stranger in the bar when they entered.

Before they could stop him, Luffy had darted over and leaped onto the man, hollering all the while. Ace went to rip him off of the man, but Sabo stopped him, wide eyed as he finally made out some of what Luffy was yelling about.

"You're here! You're here! They didn't believe that you were real, show 'em you're real! Show 'em!"

A deep, rumbling laugh sounded from the hulking figure as he carefully grabbed ahold of Luffy and sat him onto the stool next to him with practiced ease. "Oh? Who are 'they,' little treasure?"

Waving an arm over to the doorway and successfully dragging the man's attention to them, Luffy positively beamed. "My brothers!"

Stormy gray eyes stared almost through the twins from where they stood, the man's expression unreadable as he looked them up and down as if searching for something. Just as they were preparing to bolt, he gave a small smile, and motioned them over. "Well, any family of Luffy's is considered mine as well."

"Who the hell're you?" Ace spat out at him, eyes fiery as he stared at the threat man.

"Oh, you may call me Dragon."

Sabo's brain sputtered for a moment before connecting every dot that Luffy had given them. "You're Lu's dragon? Not an actual dragon?"

Ace seemed to come to the same conclusion, staring slack jawed up at him, then quickly turned to Sabo, mouthing 'what the fuck' with heavy emphasis on the last word.

Dragon looked confused for a moment, eyes flicking to Luffy before it seemed to dawn on him that the little god likely never called him anything other than Dragon, or -

"He's my Dragon!" Luffy huffed, baby's breath, dandelion, and marjoram decorating his brow.

Ah. Yes, that would be where confusion could come from.

"My full name is Monkey D. Dragon, if that clears anything up further." The Revolutionary spoke slowly, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

That got a little more out of the boys. "Monkey? Are you his dad?" Sabo asked curiously, taking the man by surprise and getting a hit to the ribs from Ace.

"Don't be silly!" Luffy laughed, smacking Dragon's arm happily, "he's not my dad, he's my Dragon! And you call me dumb!"

Instead of there being any hint of hurt on the man's face there was only fondness, as if being known as Luffy's Dragon was a higher honor than being his father. (The boys would later learn that being Luffy's would be the highest honor anyone could be gifted, and understand why the Revolutionary had reacted as such.)

Makino came out from the kitchen to see the two twins standing, and motioned them to the bar. "Oh, he's just a big puppy, boys. Ignore how scary he looks and he's just a sweetheart." She spoke with a smile, giving Dragon a knowing look as she sat down plates for the three children. "After all, I think I'd know how trustworthy my own big brother is."

Luffy had stopped paying attention the moment food was placed in front of him, but the twins scrambled over each other to get to the bar. "He's your brother?" Sabo hollered, while Ace shouted a similar "How are you related to that?"

Makino couldn't hide her laughter any longer, and Dragon's ears began to turn a soft red as he ran a hand through his hair repeatedly. "Well, he's not my big brother by blood, but I definitely chose him to be mine. He's good family to have, and I guess this officially makes you my nephews!"

The twins sputtered, Ace slapping the bar with his hands and Sabo openly gaping at her, their reactions for two wildly different reasons.

Sabo, not able to comprehend any adults being this welcoming to him, to want to welcome him into the family they built.

Ace, not able to comprehend how quickly his family - once just Garp - is growing, and all through finding his own.

Their faces turned an embarrassed red as they looked at each other, all the while Luffy unaware of anything happening.

Romance Dawn for the East Blue

Inspired by @feriowind‘s blessed tweet about Yamato winding up on Dawn Island :)

Enjoy 4k words of the 4 brothers driving everyone  crazy :D

[Read on AO3 or below the cut]

----------

Slowly blinking awake, Yamato struggled to remember why he was lying on the beach of some strange island, the smell of sea salt and trash mixing in the air into something almost worse than the confines of his prison of Onigashima. Almost. It was still freedom after all, and Yamato would gladly take this disgusting smell over his father threatening to place bombs on his wrists.

Looking around groggily, his eyes finally fell on the sad, wooden remains of a small boat, a boat that Yamato had been using to sail this unfamiliar sea during the past weeks. And he finally remembered the terrible events that had led him to this island.

 Yes, it was a dark, stormy night, the likes of which Yamato had never seen even in the unpredictable New World, and definitely not since his escape in the peaceful and calm East Blue. He had fought to keep his boat from capsizing, fighting against the strong winds and ocean currents all by himself for hours… but then suddenly, a Neptunian so large it could only have come from the Calm Belt appeared. Yamato had managed to fight it off but unfortunately, his boat suffered too much damage from the power of his Thunder Bagua. He was then forced to swim to the nearest shore with the last bits of strength he had left—

"I saw the Lord of the Coast attack the fishing boat this person was sleeping in. It was really funny, when they woke up, they screamed so loud I think even the people in Fuusha heard. And then they fell in the water while trying to stand up. But the idiot apparently can't swim so I had to go fish them out."

Yamato froze in place at the boyish voice who was retelling his heroic battle so rudely. Wasn't he allowed to at least pretend?  

Another boy, this one sounding even younger, started snickering then. "I like this person, Sabo! They’re so funny!"

"Luffy, you're the last one who should be laughing here," a third voice sighed. "Anchor boy." Yamato could almost hear the cheeky smirk on his face as he teased this 'Luffy'.

“Don’t call me that!” the youngest one cried, sounding like he was about to fight the other boy.

“Ace, don’t provoke him,” the first boy chided. “You’ll wake the idiot with your fighting.”

That was it.

“Will you stop calling me an idiot?!” Yamato shouted as he sprung up to a sitting position, an embarrassed blush on his face.

They all paused at the sudden movement, blinking up at him in shock. Yamato glowered at them one by one, taking note of how tiny these kids were—the blond and the freckled one looked no older than 12, while the other could be maybe 8. The blond was the only one dripping in water, just as much as Yamato himself was, and Yamato could only assume this was Sabo, the one who had pulled him out of the water. That would make Freckles ‘Ace’, and the youngest one ‘Luffy’.

Yamato had to wonder, though, how Sabo was able to save him all by himself. Yamato was 16 years old, a lot older than however old these boys were, and he was Kaido’s son—meaning he was already much taller than some adults. Although, he supposed he had seen stranger things and people a lot stronger than a human their size should have been. An image of Oden during his execution came to mind immediately but Yamato quickly chased the memory away.

“Oh look, the idiot’s awake,” Ace said lazily, looking thoroughly unimpressed by Yamato’s glare and simply returning it with one of his own.

Luffy, on the other hand, grinned brightly, hopping over to Yamato to stare up at him with stars in his eyes. “Are those horns? Real ones?”

Blinking, Yamato’s hand automatically reached up to touch one of his horns. “Yeah?” he replied slowly, unsure of what he was supposed to say. Was it that weird to people not from the Grand Line to see someone with features like this?

“That’s so cool! Join my pirate crew!” His grin only widened with his request—or demand.

Yamato tilted his head to the side. “You have a pirate crew?” he asked, genuinely curious.

“Well, not yet,” Luffy said, a small pout appearing on his lips. “But eventually, I will be the Pirate King so of course I will have one!” he announced looking so proud and sure of himself and Yamato felt his lips twitch upward.

“Sure, King, I’ll tag along with you,” he laughed, seeing no harm in indulging the adorable kid. And who knew? Maybe he really would end up sailing with him. After all, in 12 years, the Nine Red Scabbards would come back to Wano and Yamato needed to be back there by then. He needed to help open the country.

And who was to say he couldn’t bring the Pirate King with him?

Sabo clicked his tongue then, walking up to Luffy and ruffling his hair. “Stop that, you don’t even know this person’s name.”

“Oh right,” Yamato said, hitting t he palm of his hand with his fist in sudden realization. “Sorry. I’m Kozuki Oden. You can also call me Yamato. Son of Kaido. Thanks for helping me.”

----------

“Ace! Luffy! What’s the meaning of this?!”

Yamato groaned; always a wonderful way to wake up. “Are you drunk again, you bull-gorilla? Go away it’s too early for this,” he shouted back, not even bothering to open his eyes.

There was a moment of silence until someone stomped over to stand right above Yamato’s head. “What did you just call me, you brat?”

Finally, Yamato blinked up at the person with long ginger hair, a cigarette between their lips, and looking decidedly female. He closed his eyes again, mumbling, “Oh you’re not my father. Whatever then.” As soon as he was done, he pulled his blanket over his head to try and get some more peace and quiet.

It might not have been his father but it still was too early for this.

“Dadan, shut up,” some one whined from somewhere around halfway down Yamato’s body.

“Yeah, what’s the problem?” another person joined in, their voice coming from Yamato’s other side.

Oh right. Ace, Sabo, and Luffy had brought him back to their place last night; this had to be the nasty old hag they mentioned. Definitely seemed like one.

“First Garp drops you two on me, then you bring in more and more kids with you? What do you expect me to do, this isn’t a daycare!” It sounded like the woman was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Finally, Sabo spoke up, sounding about as sleepy as Yamato felt, “Dadan, this is our brother, Yamao. Yamao, Dadan.” With that, he flopped back down, his head coming to rest against Yamato’s thigh.

“I’m not a pillow, you three!” Yamato snapped upon the realization of how the boys were laying with their limbs thrown all over the place, Yamato’s own body included. “And it’s Ya-ma-to,” he added with a sigh, already giving giving up on convincing them to not use Luffy’s nickname.

“Where the hell did you manage to pick up another brother,” Dadan complained and Yamato was starting to feel a little sorry for her. He had to admit that dealing with these three was like fighting a hurricane and it hasn’t even been 24 hours since he met them. At least now he was there, a responsible teenager to keep them in check. She should really be grateful he happened to… choose this island to land on.

“Alright, kid. I don’t care who you are you where you came from—” the woman paused, folding her arms over her chest as she stared down and Yamato— “but I will not feed you. One bowl of rice per day is all I can guarantee you.”

Yamato laughed, “That’s not necessary. Oden could do it, I would be a disgrace if I couldn’t take care of myself and my brothers, too.”

Dadan stared at him for a moment, blinking once, twice, before she threw he hands up in frustration. As she walked away, Yamato could hear her mumbling to herself about stupid brats who couldn’t be phased by anything and how she was going to ‘let Garp have it’ the next time he ‘bothered to show his sorry ass’ there.

Yamato simply shrugged and went back to sleep.

----------

Life on Dawn Island turned out to be surprisingly easy and, even more surprisingly, fun. It didn’t take Yamato long to get to know the forest, the mountain, and the Grey Terminal beyond it, running around the place with his little brothers like he was born there with them.

“Yamao, where are you going, that’s the opposite direction!” Sabo called after him in exasperation, pointing the right way.  

A few days after his arrival, he went to retrieve his kanabo from the waters just off the shore. Ace had looked at him, asking why he was so desperate if it was the same weapon the father he so hated used and Yamato couldn’t admit he had a point but… he simply didn’t feel right without it. It was his weapon as well now, and the bull-gorilla wouldn’t take that away from him.

It took him three hours of diving but the happiness and rightness of his kanabo next to him was well worth the effort.

“What are you two anchors doing?” Ace shouted from where he was in the water and towards the two at the beach, looking incredibly annoyed.  

Yamato and Luffy exchanged a glance before turning back to Ace and replying in unison, “Building a pirate ship from sand.”  

Just then, Sabo’s head popped out of the water next to Ace. “I need a break,” he gasped, struggling to catch his breath after being underwater for so long.  

“This club of yours better be made from gold, Yamao, or so help me,” Ace grumbled before leaving Sabo to rest and diving in instead.  

Once he had his kanabo in hand, it became incredibly easy to hunt even the most ferocious beasts around, allowing Yamato enough room to stay back and direct the young brothers, giving them pointers and helping them with their hunting techniques. Usually, he simply watched, letting the boys do most of the hunt, even if it meant the prey got away sometimes. After all, making mistakes and losing was a good way to get stronger. So he let them do their own thing while making sure they were okay, and only jumping in when necessary.

“Okay, here’s the plan. We go around the river, then we split up. Me and Luffy will go up while you and Ace follow the riverbed. It’s risky, but on my signal, you will catch its attention and keep it distracted. Then me and Luffy jump down at its head. Hopefully that will at least knock it out so you and Ace can then come help us finish it. And Yamao—” Sabo paused, giving Yamato a hard, subtly threatening look— “if you run ahead screaming and scare it off again, we’re having you for dinner.” 

Yamato could only gulp and nod obediently.  

He even managed to impress the local Madonna, the cute pub owner Makino. The first time she had come to visit after Yamato had arrived, she immediately dropped all the food, alcohol, and children’s clothes that she had brought, and ran straight to him. She gave him all of her attention the rest of her stay. And even though Yamato wasn’t interested, he had to admit that being fawned over, and especially the jealous stares all the bandits were giving him, felt great.

“Oh my,” Makino muttered when she noticed Yamato. “Luffy did say Yamao was a little taller than him but…” she trailed off, her expression turning troubled.  

“You don’t have any clothes big enough for him, do you?” Dogra asked, munching on one of the cones Makino had brought.  

The young woman shook her head, sighing, “I think I’ll have to make them all from scratch. Yamao, can you come here? I need to take some measurements.” 

"Yamao, you're blushing more than Ace did!" Luffy pointed out immediately, clutching his stomach as he doubled over in laughter.  

Yamato made sure his hand was coated in haki when he hit the boy over the head.  

Over all, he had to say he much prefered the life of a cool big brother over being a pirate crew’s' ‘young master’. It was a lot more fun, a lot easier to breathe. He never felt more free than he did while laughing and running around the mountain, plotting pranks on their brothers with Ace, or getting grounded— getting thanked by Sabo for running off and beating up the pathetic excuses for pirates who had hurt Luffy and threatened the boys' treasure stash.

Even Dadan's frustrated screaming felt more loving than anything the bull-gorilla of a biological parent had ever shown him. And no, it definitely wasn’t much more embarrassing.

----------

"I don't want to be a marine!" Luffy screamed one morning just as the others were getting ready to head out to work their brand new tree house base.

Both Sabo and Ace froze, turning to stare at each other for a moment with wide eyes.

"Run?" Ace asked in a whisper.

"Run," Sabo nodded seriously before they both turned to look at Yamato.

The teen simply sat there, turning his confused gaze between Ace, Sabo, and the direction from which Luffy's voice came a few seconds earlier. "What's going on?"

Ace and Sabo exchanged a glance once more, seemingly coming to a mutual understanding before Ace answered, "Go see for yourself. Luffy could probably use the help."

Immediately, Yamato was on his feet, heading outside to save his adorable baby brother from whatever monster he was facing. He was slightly suspicious of the high five Ace and Sabo had exchanged, not as sneakily as they probably thought, but as long as Luffy was in trouble, it didn't matter much to him.

As soon as he made it outside the little house, his eyes fell on the two figures fighting just a little bit away from the house. Obviously, one of them was Luffy, who was visibly fuming; growling and snapping his teeth like he was getting ready to literally bite the legs off of his target.

The target in question was a tall, although obviously much shorter than Yamato, and muscular old man clad in a bright red and white aloha shirt, his arms crossed over his chest as he stared Luffy down. He looked thoroughly unimpressed by Luffy’s pistol punches—which admittedly still left much to be desired despite Yamato’s efforts to help him out; it was only a question of time before he managed to find the right bang feeling. The man he was fighting looked vaguely familiar but Yamato couldn’t place that face no matter how much he wrecked his brain.

But it didn’t matter.

“Luffy, are you okay?!” Yamato called in alarm, rushing forward while preparing to swing his kanabo at the stranger.

The both of them turned to look at him then, identical angry expressions on their faces and suddenly, Yamato realized who the man reminded him of. It was more than obvious where Luffy got his personality and expressions. Maybe he should… not attack this person on sight?

Making the decision for him, Luffy huffed upon seeing him approach, raising his hand and making Yamato stop. “Stay back, I’m fine! I can kick gramps’ ass myself!”

“Who’s ass are you gonna kick?” the man snapped, his light punch making Luffy clutch at his head. “You can’t win against the fist of love, Luffy!”

Yamato blinked. That was obviously haki but… fist of love?  

Ignoring Luffy’s complaints, the man gave Yamato an obvious once over. “And who are you? Wait—” he paused, looking like he just remembered something— “you’re Yamao, aren’t you?”

“My name is Ya-ma-to, and I’m Luffy’s big brother,” Yamato replied, not entirely sure why he even bothered to correct anyone on his name at this point. No one ever listened.

“Part of the family already, hm? You have an impressive swing; you’ll make a fine marine.” The grandfather nodded, grinning at Yamato in approval.

Yamato did a double take. “I’m not going to be a marine!” he responded immediately, the horror he felt at the though clear in his voice.

“Exactly! We’re gonna be pirates!” Luffy joined in, fully recovered and launching a new rubbery pistol punch, which went completely ignored.

Gramps puffed up, raising his fist threateningly in front of himself. “Nonsense! All four of you will be the strongest marines the navy’s ever had if I have any say in it!”

“No way!” Luffy and Yamato cried in unison, the both of them jumping at the man in a joint attack.

A second later the both of them were rolling on the ground together, clutching at their heads and trying to recover from yet another fist of love. Seriously, Yamato only just met this guy, why was he getting a fist of love? Or better yet, why did it sound like he was already considered a grandson? He didn’t even know his new grandfather’s name.

He guessed it was simply one more proof of his relation to Luffy. It was exactly the same to when Luffy had decided by himself that Yamato was the big brother now, not even half an hour after meeting him, and just like back then, Yamato was powerless in defying that decision.

Not like he wanted to. He would be lying if he said being considered family so easily, so warmly, so unconditionally didn’t make him happy. But still…

“I’m already a pirate,” he growled. Not to mention marines did nothing but fight Oden and the Pirate King’s crew. Like hell was he becoming one of them.  

Gramps took a deep breath, looking like he was about to explode, but Yamato interrupted him. “The navy wouldn’t want someone with my blood anyway. They’d execute me on the spot,” he said flatly, looking the man straight in the eyes, trying to convey how disgusted by the institution, the world government, the current world he was. Like hell was he participating in that. He’d much rather wait patiently for the one who was going to change it all and support them.  

Neither of them said anything for a moment, neither of them faltering as they stared each other down silently. Until finally, gramps grinned, a smile so similar to Luffy’s that Yamato startled.

“If blood’s the problem, all the more reason you should join,” he announced, the smile never leaving his face even as his eyes turned almost sad.  

Yamato tilted his head to the side as he watched the man slowly look at Luffy before his eyes slid in the direction of the bandits’ house. When Yamato turned to look, he could see Ace turning around and walking away, Sabo quickly following with a worried expression on his face.

Well.

At least Yamato wasn’t the only one who obviously hated his biological family around here.

Deciding to leave Ace in Sabo’s hands, Yamato turned back to the problem at hand but before he could snap at the man, Luffy did so for him, “No. He’s joining my crew!”

“Over my dead body!” gramps roared in response, looking like he was going to go off on a rant.

Yamato, however, wasn’t about to sit around and listen to that. “No, over my dead body. Do you even hear how fucked up it is that you need to join the navy to be safe from getting hunted? Neither of us going there,” he growled, baring his teeth for good measure.

The old man paused, blinking at Yamato once, then twice, before he burst out in laughter, one so loud, so honest, and so contagious that, despite having no idea what was so funny, it made even Yamato want to laugh. All his anger was forgotten as his lips stretched in a grin, shaking his head at the sudden realization of how weird this entire situation was. He barely knew what was even happening but… it wasn’t like Yamato ever really paused to think about things. If it felt right, he’d go with it. If it didn’t, fuck it.  

And this, incredibly, felt right.

It was only a long while later that gramps finally caught his breath enough to speak, “I like you, kid. Are you sure you’re Kaido’s son?”

As if hit by the bull-gorilla’s Thunder Bagua, Yamato stopped laughing, only staring with an open mouth as dread ran through him. “How?” he could only say after a dreadfully long moment of heavy silence. Or maybe it was only a second. But it was too much, and made Yamato feel too on edge. Ready to fight. He didn’t want to even hear the bull-gorilla’s name; definitely didn’t want to hear it in relation to himself.

Gramps looked at him as if asking if he was kidding then, but with his only answer being a glare, he started laughing anew. “Kid, if you don’t want people to know, or the asshole finding you, maybe stop introducing yourself with ‘son of Kaido’ to anyone you meet. You have poor Makino quite worried.”

Oh.

Whoops?

“Yamao, you’re stupid,” Luffy laughed.

The teen huffed, shoving hard at Luffy’s shoulder. “You’re stupid,” he hissed back, making Luffy stick his tongue out at him.

Yamato saw it only fair he do the same in return.

Just then, a dark shadow loomed over the both of them and they slowly looked up, only to see gramps looking down at them with an evil grin on his face, slowly cracking his knuckles. “Whatever you say, I will train you stupid brats into proper marines, yet.”

Yamato finally understood why Ace and Sabo’s immediate reaction was to run, then send Yamato as what he could now only assume being a sacrifice. There was no way even Yamato was going to be a fair match for this man. “Oh fuck,” Yamato cursed, scrambling to his feet to follow Luffy, who who was already hafway down the clearing away after taking the first popped knuckle as his signal to bolt.

“Watch your fucking language in front of your baby brothers!” gramps shouted after him just before something that might have been a pine cone flew past him at an impossible speed.

Yamato and Luffy exchanged a glance, identical grins spreading in their lips before they both took a deep breath. “ACE! SABO! HELP!!”

If they were to die today, they’d make sure to take the other two down with them.

----------

Hours later, Yamato lay awake in his bed on the floor of the mountain bandits’ cabin long after his brothers started snoring softly. He was exhausted from the day spent laughing and running away from gramps—or Garp, as he had finally learned earlier that evening once Dadan finally stopped hiding from the man—but as opposed to the others, he didn’t want to sleep.

Not when gramps and Dadan were busy talking on the other side of this thin wall. What had started as the two of them sharing their frustrations and complaints about their kids quickly turned into fondness as they instead told each other stories about the brothers and their antics. Yamoto wasn’t surprised the bandit knew exactly where their secret base was, just as he wasn’t surprised by Garp only pulling out the most embarrassing stories he probably could.

It was a good thing the other three had managed to pass out the second their heads hit their pillows or they’d be trying to fight the old man all over again over it.

Yamato, on the other hand, refused to miss out on a second of this. The adults might not have allowed him to drink with them, claiming Yamato was too young for that—to which he not-so-politely disagreed, but then Garp’s fist disagreed with him—but they couldn’t stop him from listening. Those were his brothers they were talking about and he wanted to hear all about the past ten years of their lives that he had missed.

And if he maybe got a little bit happy every time they brought Yamato up, well… no one had to know that.

“Yamao, I swear if you don’t stop laughing at their shitty stories, I will strangle you with your own hair.”

Hi! Can I request Yandere! Headcanons for Sabo and Benn from One Piece? I loved the ones you did for Shanks🙈. Tysm in advance 😙💙

I am glad that you like pumpkin 

since you didn’t specify the gender it will be female pronouns

Yandere Sabo headcanons

• It is a bit scary to think of this guy as a Yandere and I will explain why

• Of the three of the ASL brothers, he is the most deceptive, because of his chivalrous and kind appearance, he also tends to be a bit sadistic

• By sadistic I don't mean that he hurt his darling, he would never do that, after all, he is a Yandere protector... unless you try to escape, in that case, say goodbye to your legs for a while because he'll be going to break them and it's going to hurt like hell

• For you to learn the lesson, remember, he did not want to do it, but you forced him, because yes, he is a manipulator, he has a great talent for mental games • But when I speak of sadistic I mean it because everyone around you is in danger of being attacked by Sabo • As soon as he fixes his eyes on you, all men (except Luffy and in a perfect world where he is not dead Ace) are a threat and if they are too affectionate with you he will make sure they never come near you again

• Don't worry, he won't kill them the first time, but I'm sure none of them would want to push their luck a second time • Oh yes, I did not mention you before, but he is from the group of yanderes who kills threats or what he considers competition, but at least he is one of the few who gives a second chance, and if you happen to like are women then ... • Suddenly he has just forgotten that he is a gentleman who drinks the respecting women juice 

• In front of you, he is an elegant gentleman with a kind smile, always looking out for you, in case you need help or are in danger, as I said before, he is a protective Yandere, your safety comes first • Sabo will always be looking for a way to help you and make your life easier, he will accompany you everywhere, he will buy you things that attract your attention and he will even share his food, do you know how much that means? I am not exaggerating when I say you are the only one with whom he has shared his food • He is also a Stalker, that training to become a revolutionary is coming out very convenient now.

• I honestly do not believe that he will kidnap you because he values freedom very much, yes, Sabo wants you to always be by his side and to know where you are always but not if it is due to the fact that you are locked in a room and chained to a bed or wall • If not, and because of bad luck you end up in danger, the first one will rescue you, the second will scold you a little and the third will not allow you to get out of their sight. • breach that or try to leave and see how we will go to the part where he breaks your legs • Although it is scary, you may lose most, if not all, your friends or you have no privacy, Sabo is one of the most bearable yanderes if you are intelligent as well as knowing how to play your cards, you may have a normal relationship with him, just do not keep any secrets and for the  love of whatever you believe, DO NOT show interest in another person

• because even though it may not seem like it, Sabo is a very jealous person

Yandere Benn Beckman headcanons

I'll be honest with you, I know very little about Beckman, after all, I have the understanding that he is not that he has appeared much in the series, but I will see what I can do with the little information I have, so this may come out a bit oc with him, but hey, don't let it be said that we didn't try

• Benn gives me the feeling that, despite looking like a laid-back man who takes things easy, he's not really like that. • We could say that he goes by the specter of the paranoid Yandere • I mean, his outward appearance is a vile lie compared to what is inside his mind, he is always worried about what might happen to you. • It's not that he mistrusted you, on the contrary, he trusts you a lot, in fact, that is why you have never seen the dark side of him to the point that you think that he is an ordinary person

• In fact, on the yandere scale of my One Piece universe, he is on the side of the least dangerous for his Darling, since he would not hurt you even to punish you • He would use the old guilt trip technique and although he hates to make you feel bad, it is for your good, you are too innocent and this world is so cruel... • Who Benn doesn't trust is everyone else except his captain • He has the thought that everyone tries to hurt you and take advantage of you to a lesser or greater extent, that is something that the pirate could not accept • That is why he keeps you by his side and tries to teach you as much as possible so that you can defend yourself. • Because he is the type of Yandere with enough sanity to know that he will not last you forever, he is already a man over fifty years old and the pirate job is not very safe to say despite being under the command of a Yonkou • So he wants you to learn as much as possible, for when he lacks you, no one can abuse you • He is quite soft and the way he talks is so attractive, full of wisdom, with affectionate words, that sooner or later you will be willing to have a closer relationship with him

• Oh yes, he knows how to talk to women, surely in his youth, he was a real casanova • He does not like you to be with other men, not because he is jealous and will hurt them (which he would only do if they try to overstep with you), but because he is afraid that they will do something bad to you, in addition to that he is also insecure of himself, after all, as I told you, he is a man and youth has abandoned him a long time ago (still looks hot to me but whatever you think Benn) 

• I can say that he is a Yandere that you cannot manipulate because of how supremely intelligent he is, but he hardly restricts anything since his only goal is for you to be very happy and with him as much as possible. • If you decide to have a relationship with him and get married, that would make him very happy, but if you don't want to, that's fine, just don't take him away from your life or you'll see how the dark side of him starts to come out • definitely this man is suitable for both romantic and platonic Yandere (I speak for you readers with daddy issues, this is your yandere, he won't abandon you to go for cigarettes)

"Oi, Sabo! Hurry up! Don't make the pretty lady wait," Ace bellows from the bottom of the stairs, brown eyes twinkling in mischief not too dissimilar to his younger brother's.

Beside him, Luffy sports a goofy grin, rubber hands preoccupied with a large piece of meat skewer.

"Jeez, can't you stop eating for one second?" Ace scolds, watching in disapproval as Luffy ignores his question in favor of aggressively chomping down on the juicy kebab.

A loud resounding smack, enough to shake the foundation of the flimsy house, reverberates from the foyer.

"OW! What'd you do that for?" Luffy rubs the back of his head, eyes widening in shock at his freckled brother's sudden display of violence.

"Control yourself, dumbass," Ace says, grabbing the barbecue stick from Luffy's grubby fingers and shoving it into the trash, "Sabo's got a big day ahead of him."

"Yes! A date!" Luffy's distinctive 'shishishi' laughter falls from his lips.

Ace returns his laughter with a proud smile of his own.

Not too long after, a blond-haired man emerges from one of the bedrooms, top-hat standing proudly while decorated with his blue goggles.

Despite his contradicting physical features — short, curly blond hair in contrast to their matching raven ones and the burn scar marring his left eye — Sabo was every bit as part of the brotherhood forged between Ace and Luffy.

"You can thank me now," Ace says when Sabo reaches the entryway.

"Should I?" Sabo raises an eyebrow in retaliation, "I didn't explicitly say you had to do this on my account."

"You ungrateful—"

"Hey, what about me? Thank me too!" Luffy chimes in, rubber hands stretching to accommodate his brothers in a group hug.

"What are you talking about? You didn't do anything! I did all the work!" Ace corrects, eyes squinting at his younger brother in disbelief.

"No, no! I found her first!" Luffy argues.

"Argh — that was coincidental!" Ace bites his lip, realizing the futility of arguing with his younger brother.

"Can't believe you two idiots put me up to this," Sabo sighs, absentmindedly fidgeting with the end of his cravat. "I mean — a blind date — really?"

"It'll be good! You're busy with work all the time, so Luffy and I had to take matters into our own hands!" Ace reassuringly claps the Revolutionary's shoulder, "And besides, she's a real beauty."

"There's more to a woman than her looks," Sabo plainly states.

"Yeah, it's what's on the inside that counts!" Luffy agrees, earning an approving nod from his blond brother.

"I know that," Ace interjects, giving them an annoyed look, "I checked her interests too; seems to be in line with yours."

Sabo perks up at the newfound revelation, pleased with his freckled brother's thoughtfulness.

"Interested now, huh? Well, you better get your ass into gear. Don't wanna be late to your date!" Ace says, pulling against his younger brother's outstretched arm, "Luffy, move!"

Luffy reluctantly complies, limbs contracting back to their rightful place.

With his hands now free, Ace shoves Sabo outside the front door, not before leaning into his ear for one final message.

Enjoy! Oh, and I expect a detailed report when you come back.

"Thanks... I guess?" Sabo calls out before the door smacks shut, leaving him alone to his scattered thoughts.

- - - - - - - - - -

Ace was right about one thing. You were gorgeous.

But when it came to various topics, both of you certainly had... differing opinions.

Sabo liked a woman who voiced her thoughts and was steadfast in her beliefs. Still, he couldn't help but worry that your differences would put a strain on your relationship if it ever blossomed into a serious one.

With that weighing on his mind, he wasn't quite sure what to make of you yet.

"Is that really what you think?" you say to the blond-haired man sitting in front of you.

"Yes, that's exactly what I think! The aristocrats have been tyrannizing the commoners for far too long," Sabo defends himself, "And the World Government has been enabling their inhumane behavior! The Marines aren't any better, serving as the lapdogs for those scum—" Sabo cuts off, looking at you apologetically.

You nod for him to continue.

"Someone needs to step up. That's what the Revolutionary Army is for. To ignite the flames of rebellion — to inspire people to take action," Sabo finishes, observing your concerned expression.

"I understand. But what of the casualties?"

"Casualties are unavoidable in war," he says.

You frown at his cold statement. "Do you expect mere civilians to take up arms and fight against the world? The nobles have the Marines, while the commoners have... the Revolutionaries," you say, expressing your skepticism, "No offense."

"None taken. But don't count us out so quickly. We're strong enough to hold our own against the top dogs," Sabo confidently says.

The sound of metal tinkling — fork against plate as you proceed to take a bite of your meal — is all he hears in response to his tangent. Other than that, silence on your end.

Awkward, to say the least.

"So... Tell me about yourself. Your family?" you prompt, switching the topic to a more lighthearted conversation.

"Well," the blond Revolutionary stabs a piece of lettuce with his fork, "I have two meddlesome brothers."

Your eyes light up in amusement.

"They set up this date for me actually," he says sheepishly, gloved hand adjusting the front of his top hat.

"Is that so?"

"Yup. Didn't know a thing until the night before," Sabo shakes his head in disapproval, "They're more trouble than they're worth."

You chuckle at him. "I'm sure they had good intentions. Trust me. I can relate."

The blond perks up at your remark. Finally, a subject you can both connect on. "You have siblings too?"

"Yup, I'm an older sister to a rascal," you say, thinking fondly about your younger sibling, "From the looks of it, my little sister isn't too far off from your brothers."

"No kidding," Sabo bites his lip to stifle a smirk. There was no way your little sister was worse than Luffy. No conceivable way.

"She's a little devil. In fact, my description of her doesn't do her deviant nature any justice."

Sabo doesn't stop the smirk from coming out any longer, leaning forward to convey his interest. "Any good stories to share? I'll trade you for one of mine."

You chuckle at his playful demeanor, hands tucking underneath your chin as you humor his request. "We'll be here all night."

"The night is young," he smoothly counters, "And besides, I'd love to do this again sometime."

His dark eyes meet yours, looking for affirmation. You return his look with a genuine smile — the first of many in his presence.

"I'd love that."

Hello author! Can I ask for K and L for Sanji/Ace please. (Fluff) thankyou!

Fluff Alphabet - Portgas D. Ace

a/n: hiya!!!! Here is ace’s fluff alphabet! 💗I know you only asked for K & L but I hate only answering a few letters of these at a time LMAO 💀ALSOOOOO I’m going to Sanjis at some point too, because I got a lot more angst asks than fluff so yahhhh! Anywayssss hope you enjoy<3333

A-Activities (what do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?)

Ace absolutely loves to pull pranks on you AND he loves to pull pranks with you. Once a month you actually have an all-out prank war against one another where even the crew fear that they will be caught in the middle of it.

Oh, and true to his character, the two of you spend a lot of time eating food together. It’s very difficult for any normal human being to eat anything close to the amount Ace eats, so more often than not, it’s you staring at him in awe while he scoffs down another plate of food.

B-Beauty (what do they admire about their s/o? what do they think is beautiful about them?)

He finds your smile to be one of the most beautiful things he’s ever seen, it’s even more beautiful when the smile is directed at him. The moment you smile at him everything else in the world seems to melt away. Ace does everything in his power to bring a smile to your face, because when you smile everything else seems to fall into place. (SO CLICHÉ I KNOW BUT IT’S TRUE!)

C-Comfort (how would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?)

His go to method of comfort is cuddles. He just wraps his arms around you and gives you lots of forehead kisses. He’ll say all these kind things about you and ask what you need from him. If you’re not sure, or if you don’t feel like talking, he’ll patiently wait until you’re ready to talk.

D-Dreams (how do they picture they future with their s/o?)

In every possible future he envisions, you are there. To Ace, there is no future unless you are with him. It’ll be the two of you living life to the absolute fullest, taking it day-by-day.

He isn’t too keen on having (biological) children as he doesn’t want them to be burdened with the blood of Gol D. Roger.

E-Equal (are they the dominant one in the relationship or rather passive?)

He tends to take the more dominant role in the relationship. It’s just his natural personality that seeps through, it’s truly not intentional. He’s confident and loud so there’s not really any way you can’t not listen to him. However, if you were to voice any opinions or comments, you’ve got all his attention!

F-Fight (would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?)

I talk about his fights with his s/o a little in his angst alphabet. Here it is again!

Fights with Ace, although they don’t happen often, can quickly get out of hand. He’s stubborn and his inability to accept that he’s not always right can cause a minor disagreement to escalate into an all-out fight. On a few occasions you have argued about him never turning his back on an opponent.

Your fights tend to be followed by cooldown time. Things can get quite heated (no pun intended) so you need some alone time and space to breathe. After that though, you comeback together and apologize.

G-Gratitude (how grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?)

Ace felt unloved and unwanted by the world growing up (save for Luffy and Sabo, oh and Dadan), so it was quite the change to experience the unconditional love you provided him. He will forever be grateful for what you have done for him, in fact, he’s so grateful about it that he can never shut up about it! Much like how he gushes about his ‘stupid kid brother’ to the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace will also never shut up about you to anyone he talks to. Your name somehow always makes its way into any conversation he has.

H-Honesty (do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?)

The only secret he kept from you was that he was the son of the Pirate King. He was scared that once you knew, you would view him differently. But over time he was able to see that that would never be the case. So, after telling you that, he never kept anything from you ever again. Ace actually finds sharing secrets with you to be a weight off his shoulders.

I-Inspiration (did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?)

You were another person that was able to show Ace he is worthy of being loved. It’s an insecurity of his that will probably never go away, but that’s okay because you’re more than happy to remind him daily.

J-Jealousy (do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?)

I talked about Ace’s jealousy in his angst alphabet! But I’ll go over it again here!

When he gets jealous he turns into such a man child. He’s pouting and moping around while mumbling to himself. He develops quite a petty attitude. If you were to ask him “want to go get something to eat?” he’d respond with “why don’t you just go and ask ____ for some food.” But, as soon as you begin commenting on how jealous he’s acting he’s going to deny it to the end of his days.

K-Kisses (are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?)

I feel as though I may give Ace a little too much credit when it comes to this because I want to think that he’d be one of those amazing kissers, like he just has a knack for it. But in reality, that probably wouldn’t be the case.

Ace is more likely to be quite an overexcited kisser. He’s keen and passionate, that’s for sure. But with your first kiss, he’s a little too keen and tries to move way to fast. After some calming down and a little bit of a giggle to one other he’s in the zone.

L-Love confession (how would they confess to their s/o?)

The two of you are just talking and he’s, unsurprisingly, brought up his brother, Luffy. What is surprising however, is when he tells you how badly he wants you guys to meet each other. Your first reaction was “yeah that stands to reason he wants all of us to meet luffy” but before you could say anything Ace is already going on like “yeah, I just can’t wait to have the two people I love most in the world meet. It’d be real cool” (or something along those lines and probably a little less cheesy LMAO). You just stare at him like “heh?” and he stares at you like “uhhhh… yeah I said what I said?”

M-Marriage (do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?)

Heck yeah, this dude wants to get married! Getting to show you off to everyone? Yes please! Getting to tell you in front of everyone he knows just how much he loves you? BIG YES. Oh, AND a big ass party afterwards? THIS DUDE CANNOT WAIT! Being able to marry you is one of his dreams, and he’s actually been thinking about since the first date you guys went on.

But, he’s really struggling with how to propose to you. He’s gone through every cliché in the book. A ring at the bottom of your glass, in your food, a carriage ride etc. They’re all great ideas but he doesn’t think they suit the dynamic of your relationship. So, he’s going to enlist the help of Whitebeard Pirates and create an elaborate prank (that has a 50/50 chance of going wrong but also still working out exactly as he wanted).

N-Nicknames (what do they call their s/o?)

He likes to call you hot stuff or baby. Initially, these nicknames resulted in a lot of teasing from the other whitebeard pirates but neither of you cared.

O-On cloud nine (what are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?)

Whitebeard and a few of the other division commanders are the first to notice. I mean, it’s not that hard… He is constantly bringing you up in every conversation (if you’re not there) and if you are there, they can’t even get his attention for a moment. You have his undivided attention! It isn’t until Marco or someone says “You’re down baddddd, Ace” that he’s like HUH?

P-PDA (are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?)

Ace loves PDA. He is all about kissing you in front of everyone else. So much so that you constantly get told to “get a room!”. Ace loves to show off his relationship with you to the whole wide world. He’s incredibly proud to have found someone that loves him wholeheartedly.

Q-Quirk (some random ability they have that is beneficial in a relationship?)

Well, thanks to his devil fruit, his body temperature tends to run pretty warm, so you have your own personal heater.

R-Romance (how romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?)

Ace is romantic in his own way, that’s for sure. He expresses his love through teasing and jokes, but also through quality time. He’s big on that. Making sure all his attention is on you so you know just how much he loves you.

S-Support (are they helping their s/o achieve their goals do they believe in them?)

He has so much faith in your ability to achieve your goals. He wants to be able to help you in any way he can, so if you come to him and ask for help, he would be absolutely ecstatic! Ace just wants to be a part of your success story (in the best way possible, I know some people only want to because then they get credited but that’s not why ace wants to do it at all! Nothing makes Ace happier than seeing those he loves achieve their goals).

T-Thrill (do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship or do they prefer certain routine?)

Your relationship is already spiced out enough as it is. He’s got an extremely mischievous personality so is constantly getting up to god knows what, and some how always manages to drag you into it. If anything, your relationship could do with a little more routine (but you both are extremely happy with the way it is).

U-Understanding (how good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?)

Ace is an extremely empathetic individual. He understands a lot more than most, just how awful negative emotions can be (whether that’s sadness, insecurity, anger etc.). So he is quick to your aid whenever something seems to wrong.

V-Value (how important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?)

All relationships in Ace’s life are extremely important to him. He even values them more than his own life. Your relationship is no exception. You’ve shown him love, and accepted him for who he truly is, so there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for you and he makes that very clear every single day.

W-Wild card (a random fluff headcanon?)

He knows all your food orders off by heart. And when I say all your food orders, I mean ALL of them. He knows your food orders for each of your different moods. He memorised them pretty quickly so that he could surprise you with food regardless of your mood.

X-XOXO (Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?)

He is an extremely affectionate individual. Ace is practically attached to your hip at every possible moment. An arm will always be thrown around your waist or shoulders, and he literally wants to spend all day smothering you in kisses. He’s shameless when it comes to affection.

Y-Yearning (how will they cope when they are missing their partner?)

He copes by talking about you to EVERYONE. He tells the crew stories about you (mind you these are stories not only that they’ve heard multiple times, but they were also there to witness themselves). It gets to the point where even Whitebeard is like “ya know what Ace, you can go visit them.”

Z-Zeal (are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind?)

As I said previously, all relationships in Ace’s life are extremely important to him. We saw what lengths he was willing to go to when Thatch was killed by Blackbeard, and you would be no different. In fact, Ace would be willing to do all of that and so much more, if it was for you.

Lunar New Year » Little Kids

Platonic! Portgas D. Ace x Older Sibling! Reader

A/N : cheers to another lunar day fic, posted on real lunar new year :D enjoy! Yes, this is a platonic ship!

Technically it’s just a Drabble.

Summary : the memory of always receiving red envelopes as kids always makes Ace feel nostalgic and warm. He misses it. Until one day, his older sibling comes with a little gift, for old times sake.

It’s a little rushed but just go with it! Happy Lunar New Year!

I’ll work on the Valentine’s tomorrow, promise! I’ll try. I hope. ;-;

-

“Look, big brother! I got another envelope!”

“That’s great, Teucer. Did you remember to thank the person who gave it to you?”

“I did, big brother!” The little boy nods affirmatively, making the older one smile instinctively and pat his head.

“Good job. Let’s keep going around and try to find the traveller, okay? Remember to stick close to me.”

“Okay!”

Ace smiles warmly at the sight of the passing kids, all walking with bright smiles as they wander around the lunar festival on this island.

Yes, the Whitebeard crew decided to celebrate by going to a particularly well known and famous island, known for its delicious food and kind people, who threw one of the greatest lunar festivals in the Grand Line.

Ace continues to look around as he sat on a bench by the fountain, center of the whole island but surprisingly, this area wasn’t too crowded.

However, seeing all these little kids running around with huge smiles, Ace couldn’t help the stinging pain in his chest.

The old memories that were brought back to him ached his heart. He was separated from his siblings at this time.

Sure, it wasn’t the first year this happened, but it still hurt to know they couldn’t spend this time together.

“I wonder how they’re spending this year.”

Don’t be fooled, Ace was ecstatic to spend this time with Whitebeard and the others. He loved them and how big of a party they always threw in celebration, and all the food and love he recieves, but,

Nothing could compare to his times with his sworn siblings when he was younger.

They’d run into the town and despite their reckless behavior and such, they were always given envelopes and food for the special day, their oldest sibling always looking after them and doing whatever they could to make sure they had fun,

Showering them with endless envelopes throughout the day and snagging all the best foods from the shops that didn’t give them any, and best of all,

They were always together.

Ace, Sabo, Luffy and their elder sibling, [Name]. The quartet.

“What’s wrong, Ace? I figure you’d be in a restaurant, stuffing your face in.”

Unknown to the sudden voice around him, he only sighs deeply. “Just thinking about some...thing..?”

Ace visibly stops, pure confusion written across his face as he turns around to see a face he least expected. His mouth is gaped and he chokes.

“[N-Name]?.. why are you here?.. how?-“

Your beaming grin shines down on him as you swing an arm around his shoulders from behind and pat his chest. “I couldn’t go any longer from my little brother without spending this special day with him. After three years, how could I stay away?”

Ace’s eyes merely widens more as he just stares at you in disbelief and shock. You playfully roll your eyes and sigh.

“It was a lucky coincidence, but I came into contact with one of your comrades. He’s blonde and talks a certain way or whatever. Pineapple looking one.”

Ace stifles a snort at your comment. ‘Marco?’ Even if it was for a short second, the action brought a smile to your face and you spoke.

“Come on, Sabo and Luffy are waiting for us. Your old man, Whitebeard, already gave us the okay to spend today with you.”

You pull away and gesture to a restaurant in the distance, continuing to grin widely. “What do you say, brother?”

“Luffy and Sabo are here too?” He blinks, still stiff in shock and confusion. He was having a hard time processing this. He felt like he was dreaming.

“Of course. It took me a long time to find them but they agreed in a heartbeat. Now come on.”

You pull away and offer a softer smile. “By the way,” Ace was finally out of his dazed state when he heard you and sees you reaching into your pocket.

“I saw your expression and knew what you were thinking. So here.”

You pull out a small envelope, the familiar shade of red colored over. “You were feeling pretty nostalgic and sad right?”

Ace widens his eyes at the familiar sight and peers up at you, since you were taller. “How did you..”

“Come on, Ace. I’m your older sibling. Of course I know what you’re thinking about.”

Giving him a toothy grin, smiling warmly at him, Ace is quick to return it, with his cheeks warm at the love and care you displayed to him.

“I have the best sibling..” Ace thought, looking down at his hand that grasped the envelope.

He already knew what was inside, because he was sure it was the same as always.

“Let’s go, Ace.”

You held out your hand for him to take, looking back at him with warm and ( platonic ) loving eyes.

Ace chuckles lightly and smiles wide, nodding as he takes his hand in yours. “Yeah.”

“But,”

You stop and turn to look at him with a gentle hum. “Yeah? What’s wrong?”

Ace holds up the envelope and smiles shyly. “Can I cash it in now?” He asks, gesturing to the item in hand and you chuckle. “Of course.”

Ace smiles in relief and happiness and immediately shoves himself into you, wrapping his arms around your torso.

You wrap your own arms around his neck and lay your head on his, snuggling into him in the tight hug.

“You’re always free to cash in those unlimited hugs.”

-

Bonus :

During the walk to the restaurant, Ace hums softly and continued to hold your hand as he walked side by side of you.

“So. Got a lover yet?”

You choke on your saliva when you hear your little brother’s sudden question.

“H-Huh? Where did that come from?”

Ace cheekily smirks at you. “Aren’t you like twenty four? Surely you would have found someone.” He teases and you scoff, rolling your eyes.

“Unfortunately, I’ve been too busy to find a lover, busting my ass just to look after you and the other two dumbasses!”

You reach over and pinch his cheek harshly, much to Ace’s dismay as he winced and slaps your hand off, rubbing the pained cheek with a pout.

“I was joking! Besides, you looove me. I’m your favorite, right?” Ace hums with a prideful gleam. You snort and continue walking. “Yeah, sure.”

The younger freckled one dramatically gasps in genuine shock. “Sarcasm? If not, then who is?”

“Isn’t it obvious? Luffy.”

You stuck your tongue out at Ace and quickly ran towards the restaurant, leaving Ace behind in shock before he ran after you.

“O-Oi, wait! Why Luffy?!”

-

A/N : hope it was okay and you enjoyed! Thanks for the support! <3

Valentine’s are delayed.

I should really not do events with how my life is ugh

[whirlybirdwhat]

light up the sky (with you)

read on Ao3 For @soccersarah01 ily!!!

no warnings apply 

-

Ace is so tired.

He’s so, so tired.

He wants to go back to sleep.

But someone is shoving at his shoulder and being an annoying pest.

“Ace!”

He’s just going to ignore it.

“Ace!”

Ignoring it-

“AceAceAceAceAce!”

“What, Luffy!” Ace snaps, eyes flashing open as he stares at his little brother who is currently staring down right over his face. No wonder his voice sounded like it was in his ear.

“Ah! You’re awake!” Luffy cries happily.

Ace is still lying down, so, so tired. “No shit, Idiot.”

A snicker to their left, and Ace glances over to see Sabo, looking just as tired as Ace, giggling quietly. “I told you he wouldn’t be happy that you woke him up, Loof.”

Luffy pouts. “But you both gotta get up! It’s almost time!”

That has Ace sitting up. “Almost time for what?”

Luffy only giggles, and Ace and Sabo share a twin look of oh no.

This was just going to be like the snake incident wasn’t it? When Luffy had a surprise and got eaten instead.

Ace really wants to go back to sleep.

But –

Luffy is excited, smiling bright even as the world outside darkens further into night, and Sabo is laughing as Luffy tugs at his hands and Ace’s, urging them out the door. It’s a kind of mischief, getting up in the night to look at a surprise, and well –

Ace has never been the one to turn down an adventure.

He lets Luffy tug them out the door and down the trunk of the tree, all of them giggling and laughing as shooting stars fall overhead and light their way through the forest.

An adventure with his brothers.

How could Ace sleep through this?

-

Its three hours by the time they stumble to the foot of the mountain, to where Fuusha Village is lit up by lantern lights and bonfires.  Ace’s eyes dazzle at the fire, and next to him, Sabo’s mouth drops in awe.

Never has he seen anything so beautiful. There are people laughing, chattering, drinks running free and other children playing in the street. The lights string across each street as the smell of sweet food engulfs the air.  Even the docks are lit up, the sailboats surrounded with lantern lights, and some even setting out to see dressed in dazzling colors of paper lights. They paint the sea in glimmers of shining colors, and oh-

Ace has never seen anything so amazing.

“Shishishi!” Luffy laughs in front of them, straw hat lit up like a crown by the lantern lights behind him. “C’mon! C’mon! Makino’s waiting!”

Luffy doesn’t wait for them to respond, and instead grabs Ace’s and Sabo’s hands in a rubbery grip and pulls.

Ace doesn’t mind. He’s too distracted by the lights and joy, and the way vendors press free food into their hands and pat their heads, a smile on every face. A festival for the village, their own private tradition.

(Ace has never seen Goa lit up in fire and lights before. Fuusha Village is already better than that place.)

A festival. The bandits never brought Ace to one, even if they did occasionally string up pretty lights around the hut.

It’s beautiful.

With Luffy pulling on them, the cobblestones flash beneath their feet and they soon stand in front of the Party Bar, where laughter and music echoes loudly from within. Luffy, still laughing, pulls them inside the swinging doors, into the midst of the party.

“Makino!” He cries without hesitation, and lets go of his big brothers’ hands to fling himself at the woman. Makino, carrying a tray of drinks and glasses filled to the brim, isn’t even bothered and hugs Luffy with ease.

“Luffy!” She says, pressing a kiss to his head. “You made it! And you brought your brother’s too! Sesesese!” Ace doesn’t have time to get out of reach (which, to be fair, isn’t exactly possible when your brother can stretch) before he and Sabo are drawn into the hug as well.

Makino’s arm wraps around all three of them, drinks still held high in the air, and a kiss is dropped on all of their foreheads.

Ace puts on a show, but his face is burning red and he doesn’t try to get out of the hug.

(He never will, not with Makino. Makino’s too kind for that.)

Eventually, however, Makino lets them go to smile at them. “Are you boys ready?” She asks, a twinkle in her eye.

“Ready for what?” Sabo questions, matching Ace’s confused face.

She turns to Luffy. “Sesesese! Luffy!” She admonishes. “You didn’t tell them?!”

“Shishishi! It’s a surprise Makino! C’mon! Do you have them? Do you?”

Makino laughs, and finally puts the plate of drinks down at a table of chorusing party-goers. “Alright, alright!” She laughs, and pulls six thin sticks from a pocket in her skirt and spread them for the boys to see. “Here you go – go wait outside for me okay? I’ll bring the matches over.”

“Yes yes yes!” Luffy cheers, grabbing the sticks and running out while Ace and Sabo follow a bit more confused, each giving a nod and tip of the hat respectively to Makino on their way out.

They find Luffy standing by the shore, holding two of the sticks in one hand, the other four held out in the other. Waves lap over his bare feet, and he’s smiling wide as he stares at his brothers.

“Here!” He says, jutting the four sticks out. “C’mon, c’mon!”

Ace raises an eyebrow, but still takes two of the sticks for himself, curiously looking at them. They are metal on the bottom, but som sort of rougher material on the top. Odd.

Luffy’s waving them around like swords, challenging Sabo to a duel that Ace can’t help but join in, all three of them splashing around in the shallow waters and sand, with the festival lights bright behind them.

Then – Makino shows up, and it’s like magic.

“Luffy!” She says, match lit in her hand. “Let’s show them how its done!”

“Shishishi! Yeah!” Luffy holds out the stick, and Makino lights it on fire.

Except – it’s not a fire that erupts.

It’s sparks.

Ace’s eyes dazzle.

A sparkler!

(He’s never had a sparkler before.)

A real sparkler!

It’s only moments before one of his own sticks – sparklers – is lit, and he’s running around with Luffy and Sabo, drawing figures in the sky in dazzling light.

Ace is laughing, wild and happy, his brother’s next to him as they sword fight and dance and play with sparkling light. Water kicks up by his feet, the sand soft, village soft noise behind him, and Ace is so so –

Free.

The smile stretches endless on his face as he waves his sparkler around, the ships lining up off the coast.

Then – all at once, the sparklers reach their end and the town goes dark. The lanterns dimmed and the bonfires covered – or maybe put out, Ace can’t tell – for only a moment. He and Sabo pause, confused, as Luffy excitement only grows.

Overhead, the stars wink, bright and beautiful, shooting across the sky like rockets. They stretch endless over the sea, the dark village making them seem as bright as if they were in their tree house.

“Wha-“ Ace starts to ask but is cut off by a loud BOOM!

The sky bursts into dazzling color, bright and beautiful, as sparkling as the stars and the sparkler that Ace just held.

Fireworks!

Ace gasps with Sabo as Luffy cheers, and soon they are wading out into the water to watch the fireworks paint the sky in colors of gold and red and rainbow.

Makino holds Luffy on her hip, his toes just brushing the waves, and they laugh and point to the gleaming sky.

Fireworks!

(Ace has never seen them so close before, only occasionally watched from the hut as they boomed to life over the coast. The sailboats, previously decorated with lanterns, are now dim and launch the fireworks high into the air with whistles and noises and beauty. It’s amazing.

Ace wants to be as bright as a firework someday.)

Sabo’s hand and Luffy’s find their way into his as they all stare at the lights, the tide pulling at them but their feet solid even against the cold waves. He’s no longer tired, even if it must be past midnight by now. Instead, he is wide awake, bright, and happy.

How could he have even possibly thought of sleeping through this adventure?

Holding Luffy in one hand, Makino manages to light the rest of the sparklers, and in the pull of the tide, Ace watches the world light up, side by side with the people he loves most.

Thank you, he thinks, for this adventure, Luffy!

Pale Fire: Hard Days and Happy Birthdays 1/2

Paring: Ace x Reader

Series: Modern au of the life of Ace and the reader

Scenario: Even after a short few months there is still a lot you don’t know about your newly proclaimed best friend. Like why he doesn’t celebrate his birthday and why his friends and family are used to it.

wc: 1.7k

warning: angst, hurt/comfort, abusing alcohol, fluff

A/N: Hello! Sorry for the lack of updates but writer’s block hit sudden and hard. Anyway I wanted to get this out yesterday but here we are and now it’s in two parts because it became longer than I had intended. Hopefully by next week I’ll be all caught up and open the inbox again! I hope everyone had a good holiday and an even better start to the new year! I’m happy people have enjoyed my writing as well means a lot! Also this isn’t edit at the moment.

The end of the year was fast approaching with only days left it felt strange to you. The fact that your first semester of college was finally over. The past few months had been wild if you could pick a word to describe it. You never imagined you would have so many friends or just good memories in general. You had gotten lucky when being paired with Perona.

She was rather strange but you really would not have her any other way. It was because of her that you met Zoro which from there meant you would meet everyone else.  The collection of them were all vastly different and it made you feel included somehow into their strange little family. Though it was your friendship with Ace that you didn’t expect.

He was loud, angry, and shameless among other things you could rattle off. For some reason he had quickly taken a liking to you and it was all over after that. He had this way of coaxing you to come out of your shell and express yourself in ways you had never done before. He stunned everyone when he declared you were now his which didn’t settle well with any of the girls plus Sanji. Perhaps it was the five year age gap that threw most people off but it didn’t bother you that in the way most presumed it did.

The reason he had plagued your mind a lot recently was because his birthday was two days away. While you were excited about getting your new friend gifts and a supposed party to happen. You found out that their wouldn’t be a celebration, nothing at all. Ace hated his birthday which made you quite disappointed.

You didn’t push the subject when Sabo gave you the bad news. He had smiled sadly at you as he patted your head and moved on with his day. If no one wanted to speak of why then you wouldn’t push it. Ace would tell you if you asked you know he would but you didn’t want to pry it seemed to be a rather sore subject for everyone.

So you went about your week as you usually would which was more so spent at the three brothers apartment. You were currently splayed out on the couch with Luffy, Chopper, and Vivi laying on top of one another. It was a comfortable squeeze with Chopper’s head tucked into your lap and Vivi’s thigh bumping against your own as Luffy splayed out over her entire lap as she played with his hair. The only light coming from the flashing tv and that of the Christmas tree still up in the corner of the room.

It was a nice feeling to be surrounded by friends in a place you considered homey.  The sudden buzzing of your phone dragged you out of your thoughts. Pulling the device from your sweatpants pocket you saw the familiar name lighting up the Home Screen.

Firefly

As he had so happily put into your contacts months ago. You smiled as you slide your finger across the text opening the phone.

“Work is so boring today, tell me something interesting.”

You roll your eyes at his response Ace worked a rather fascinating job in your opinion at least. Though he says his previous job had been cooler before the accident. You texted him back before closing the phone.

“You should really pay attention to your job but if you really want something good. Luffy choked on a piece of food today and Vivi had to give him the hemilich maneuver. It was a real sight I have all on video.”  

You sent the text and closed your phone again only for it to vibrate. The message highlighted with a laughing emoji making you smile as you place the phone on your lap. Closing your eyes as you listen to the background noise of the tv.

You were awoken by the sensation of someone putting a blanket over you blinking your eyes open sleepily. The blurry image above you stopped before continuing and backing away as you drifted back off to sleep cuddling close down into the soft material. The sounds of chatting is what finally woke you up this time around.

They were soft almost trying not to wake up or anyone else who was still asleep. The room was dark when your eyes opened, the only light coming from that of the kitchen and even that was dimmed. You could barely make out the voices but there was definitely more than one. Pulling your arm upward you realize that it had actually been covered by a blanket. Your brows furrowed at how it got there, as your hand finally landed on your phone. The screen lit up showing the time it was half past 9 p.m. making you groan.

You had missed dinner, the sudden grumbling of your stomach reminding you of it’s emptiness. “Thanks, stomach.” You mumbled as you looked around you to still see everyone was still asleep. Chopper had moved over so he wasn’t on top of you, but Vivi and Luffy were now cuddling up one another in their sleep. The sight made you smile as Luffy’s soft snores were let out against Vivi’s neck. The voices broke through your train of thought again as a sharp “No” was admitted.

Curious but not wanting to be nosy you carefully untangled yourself from the pile. You walked towards the kitchen quietly as the voices became more distinct. The soft tremor of Ace’s voice was heard as he hissed at the slightly higher one of Sabo. Were they fighting? You thought which would be odd because they almost never fought unless it was over something serious. Over the few months you had known them you had only seen it twice. So whatever they were disagreeing on must be rather important or personal perhaps.

“You such an idiot you know that right?” Sabo said.

Peeking around the corner you could barely make out their appearances through the doorway which was blocked by the door being half way closed.

“It’s nothin’ I’m an dult I can do wha- I wannnt.” Ace said his words sounding muffled.

You frowned as Sabo sighed making you wonder if Ace was actually drunk and Sabo was trying to hide it.

A sound of shuffling could be heard as someone started walking. “Ace, come on you’ve had enough of tha-.” Sabo words were cut off as the shattering of glass echoed through the otherwise quiet house. The noise alone startled you momentarily before you decided to make your presence known.

You pushed the door open into the kitchen and the sight that greeted you was rather amusing. Sabo was hitting Ace upside the head while the freckled man pouted. He was gazing down at the red liquid splashed across the title flooring.

Sabo looked up at you and sighed. “(Name) could you hand me the mop and broom it’s in the closet across the hallway”. He pointed behind back the way you had come.

“Ugh, yeah sure are you guys alright?” You questioned.

Sabo just nodded not really akwoldging  you as he hauled Ace by the sleeve of his shirt and put him into a seat at the breakfast bar.

You walked to the closet and opened the door it was dark inside but you didn’t need to see where the objects were. Grabbing them you closed the door and headed back into the kitchen where Sabo was staring at Ace in frustration.

You looked over at him he was leaned over the counter his forehead laying against the wooden surface.

“Here.”

Sabo sighed and reached out for them as you placed them in his grasp.

“Is he alright?” You asked unsure.

“He will be but it really isn’t anything new he is like this every year.” He said as he began sweeping up the glass.

You bit your lip as you stood there wondering what you should do. You wanted to be helpful but it seemed like a private matter that Sabo could easily take care off.

“If you want you can put him in his bed,” Sabo spoke without looking at you as he dumped the glass into the trash bin.

You looked at him and blinked as if you weren’t expecting him to answer your worries. Walking forward you stood next to the man who was groaning softly into his chest. Gently placing your hand on his shoulder to not startle him you also opened you mouth to talk.

“Ace.”

He groaned again as if acknowledging you.

“Come on let’s get you to bed, alright?” You said as he got up without a fuss.

....

Once inside his room you guided him slowly to the bed as all his dead weight was laid on top of you. It was extremely uncomfortable but you bared it as you mostly threw him onto the twin size bed. He landed awkwardly on his face as the mattress squeaked under the pressure. You sighed at the sad sight as you picked up his feet and hauled him into the bed. You weren’t going to baby him or be gentle.

Ace mumbled from where his face was planted in the maroon sheets. You rolled your eyes and shoved at his shoulder hard enough to move him slightly to were yup could hear him speak.

“I’m fine (Name) you can just go.” He said with no heat behind it.

You huffed and crossed your arms in annoyance at his statement.

“I’m not going until you get into bed Ace.”

The man just sighed as heaved himself upward and began shimmering his way out of his work pants. His button down followed surely until he left in a a plain undershirt and his boxers. The sight alone made your cheeks redden as you quickly hid your face into your hands.

“Well, are you happy?” He asked as he pulled his comforter around his body.

“Y-yes! I’ll be going now, I'll see you tomorrow!” You said your voice went a pitch higher as you left the room shutting the door behind you.

As soon as you left the room you groaned as you leaned your head back against his door. Well that just happened even though nothing actually occurred just him taking off his clothes to sleep. Patting your flaming cheeks to come yourself you stepped away from the door. Only to hesitate as you looked at the door as concern took over.  As you ponder about what exactly could have him so uneasy and so unlike the man you knew.

My Sworn Brothers [Luffy x Crossover!Sister!Reader x Ace x Sabo]

A/N: Hey, so I want to write a High School AU of the many, many anime I have watched/ read. Bleach, Blue Exorcist, Devil is a Part-Timer, Durarara, Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alchemist, High School of the Dead, InuYasha, Kill La Kill, Magi, My Hero Academia, Noragami, One Piece, Ouran High School Host Club, Pokemon, Saiki K, Sailor Moon, Seven Deadly Sins, Soul Eater, Sword Art Online, Vampire Knight, Your Lie in April, and Yu Gi-Oh. And I was wondering who would you like to be apart of your friend? And would you like to have a relation to any of the characters of the world. 

Summary: [Y/N] is the oldest sworn sister to Luffy, Ace, and Sabo. And after finding Ace and Sabo aboard Luffy’s ship, the Thousand Sunny, she explains to them who she is, her other sworn brothers and sisters, embarrasses the three of them (a regular Tuesday for her), and threatens them with a chalkboard for interrupting her. Multiple times. In this story, most of the anime I am into is in the same world (Bleach, Blue Exorcist, Fairy Tail, Fullmetal Alchemist, InuYasha, Magi, My Hero Academia, Naruto, Noragami, Seven Deadly Sins, and Sword Art Online.  I might do a part 2. 

Warnings: spoilers for the above mangas and animes, also, even though this is along the timeline of after the time skip (at some point), I took the creative liberty to have Ace alive during this meeting for a quad family reunion, might be language

Word Count: 1, 668

“How the hell am I suppose to believe that my three idiotic brothers would be in the same place at the exact same time I’m trying to find them?” the girl with [H/C] hair, old enough to be Luffy’s age, maybe a year younger or a year older than him. 

“[Y/N]!!” the rubber boy flung himself at her in a hug.

She fell down on her butt from the impact of the hug. She groaned before pushing the boy off of her and standing up, dusting herself off. “Geez, Lu. I was on a job, just finished, and I heard something about a Straw Hat, a Fire Fist, and a blonde with a top hat that put the mad hatter to shame. I just came to see if the rumors are true.” 

“What job did you have, sis?” Sabo said as he sipped a smoothie created from Vinsmoke Sanji. 

“Well, you see. In the ten years I’ve been gone, I’ve been busy. Both with being lazy and being diligent.” the girl explained. “I am a member of Fairy Tail. Dragon Slayer Magic, particularly fire, water, earth, air, and plant. Requip the Knight. Some space jumping there and vortex opening here.” 

“You got the two mixed up, kid.” Ace said from his spot next to Sabo. 

The girl grinned an evil grin. “Oh, did I, Ace of Clubs?” 

The raven haired pirate groaned at the nickname while Luffy’s crew members wondered after the nickname. Ace kept giving her the don’t-tell-them-anything look with a cut-it-out motion. She, like most people she knew, did not listen to reason. 

“Well, when we were younger, I attempted to teach the pour unfortunate souls that you call Luffy, Sabo, and Ace golf. And we played mini-gold. First hole we went to, the club flew out of Ace’s hand and crashed into the window where the pour lady working the club stand was clonked on the head and fell unconscious. Another fun fact: I’m overly competitive and therefore master of mini gold. Luffy on the other hand... beat my bowling high score of just a little over four hundred points.” [Y/N] explained. 

“THAT’S NOT HOW YOU PLAY GOLF, YOU IDIOT!” Usopp shouted at his captain. 

“Ace was a lot worse. However, on the eighteenth hole, got a hole in one. Although with team sports, I always sided with Luffy ‘cuz he was the baby of the family.” she explained. 

“Never play Volleyball with her unless you’re Luffy.” Sabo warned the Straw Hat Pirates. 

“Could you... possibly.... explain who you are?” asked Nami. 

“That’s an easy and excellent question, m’lady. I am [Y/N] [L/N], the daughter of the Demon King from the Demon Clan, Niece of Solomon, adoptive daughter of the great dragon, The Curse of Depravity, a mage of S-Class ranking, the best older sister anyone can have, a Shinigami, and the Pirate Fairy.” [Y/N] said with her hands on her hips like wonder woman. 

“You’re not wonder woman, dumbass.” Ace muttered. 

She scowled at the boy (who was now physically older than her). “I know that, asshole.” Ace shrugged his shoulders at that. “Anyways, I should get going. I’m here with my teammates. And Salamander will have a cow if he finds out I’m on a Pirate Ship. Which may or may not include Natsu asking you all to fight him at once for his sister.” [Y/N] shrugged. 

“SISTER?!” Luffy screeched. 

“YOU ALREADY REPLACED US?!” Ace and Sabo said in unison. 

“This is why I never took you to Amusement parks or sat next to you on a ride.” she clenched at her swollen ears.  “No, I was merely saying that I have something called [Y/N]’s Council of Brothers. They’re basically a band of boys I feel need my protection, wisdom, and power to embarrass them until they’re six feet under and rotting.” 

“She’s dark.” Nami said. “But can you explain this whole Council of Brothers thing. Because I’m not sure they,” the ginger pointed to the three brothers, “understand.” 

“Alright! I will go over a lesson here!” and suddenly a white board appeared by her side with writing already on it. 

“Where did you get the white board?” asked Luffy. 

“That’s not important right now.” she scowled. “Yes, Sabo.” 

“Was that Whiteboard always there and we just never noticed it?” the blonde asked. 

“No. Ace if this is a question about the white board, I will smack you with the same gold club that flew through that window. All questions about the stupid whiteboard will be answered after I explained everything. Got it?” 

The three brothers grumbled out a, “Yes.”  

“Good. Anyways, to start it off I have two half-brothers. Meliodas and Zeldris.” she slapped a pointer stick against the whiteboard. 

“Did she always have that?” Ace asked, whispering it to his two brothers. 

“I don’t know. I’m just glad someone noticed it besides me.” Sabo murmured back. 

“SILENCE, YOU INSOLENCE FOOLS!” and she threw a frying pan which hit Ace in the head. 

Why does she have a frying pan in her requips? Sabo wondered in his head, not wanting to get hit in the head with anything else she might have to throw at them. 

“Anyways, Meliodas and Zeldris are my half-brothers. Zeldris is the captain of the Demon Clan’s ten Commandments while Meliodas is the captain of Liones’s Seven Deadly Sins of which I am co-captain and the Phoenix Sin of Darkness. To be fair, I look more like my mother and I think the only thing me, Meliodas, and Zeldris share is our dumbassery we inherited from our father. Second off, my cousin is Magi Aladdin since my mother is his father, Solomon,’s sister. Now, that’s enough of my actual biological family. Now, I won’t go into detail about those three. Because you already seem well-acquainted with one another. Anyways, onto the next one. The next one on my list of brothers is a half-demon named Rin who is the son of Satan along with his younger brother, Yukio, but he doesn’t really need protection. next is Kazuto Kirigaya also known as Kirito. I prefer to call him that. He got stuck in a game where if you die there, you die in real life, but he defeated them. next, we have Satan himself, a king of demons, Sadou Maou. He works as a part-timer for a fast food chain which is sad to be honest. Next, we have Alibaba Saluja, a prince and a king’s candidate, also my cousin’s best friend. He wields the fire djinn, Amon. Also, he’s trying to be a gladiator while figuring out his feelings for Fanalis and former slave Morgiana. Next, we have actual God Yato who is a former god of calamity and a current god of war. I think. I’m not quite sure. But he and his two regalia, Yukine and a Nora named Kazuma, but also Kazune under Yato, must be protected by me at all cost. Then, we have Edward Elric, a alchemist missing both a leg and an arm because he wanted to see his mom’s smile again which kicks me in the heartstrings whenever I hear it. His brother, Alphonse, is an honorary member of the Council of Brothers. And he used to be entirely a soul attached to a suit of armor. No joke.” 

“Does no one else notice that they are mostly raven haired or blonde?” Nico Robin commented. 

The Straw Hat Pirates turned to the three sworn brothers who just shrugged their shoulders at that. “I admit I am guilty for that. But my actual brothers are raven headed and blonde, so that may be the reason. Anyways, off to the next people. Now, this person could make Luffy look like a genius. Sometimes. Natsu Dragneel, a salmon haired fire dragon slayer, is the brother of Zeref Dragneel, the black wizard, and also simultaneously END, the most powerful demon of the book of zeref which makes him one of the top fifteen most powerful demons. Next, we have strawberry boi, Ichigo Kurosaki, a shinigami who I’ve been helping train. He could see the dead and then he discovered his spiritual power, stole the shinigami powers of Rukia Kuchiki, and started to exorcist hollows and send souls to the soul society. Then, we have my favorite band of brothers since they could literally be in a band. Broccoli Boi, Izuku Midoriya, kinda has a power augmentation quirk, best way to describe it without giving too much away, Porcupine Katsuki Bakugo who can blow things up with help from his sweat. Zuko Wannabe Shoto Todoroki who can wield fire and ice. Also, his brother Touya may or may not be Dabi. Then, Pikachu Kaminari Denki who can utilize elctricity, but too much and he makes Luffy look like a genius. No joke. Well… maybe… I don’t really know. Anyways, then we have speedster Tenya Iida. Oh, there’s sharkboy Eijiro Kirishima. He can make himself go as hard as rock, but he has limitations. Then, we have spidertape Hanta Sero that can shoot tape out of his elbows. Then, half-demon InuYAsha who is the son of a dog demon and a mortal woman. There’s also Shippo who is an adorable little kitsune. And I think I got everyone.” the girl looked at her board before smacking it again as she noticed Luffy had begun to doze off while Ace had totally fallen asleep. 

The action alerted the two boys to wake up at once and glare at their older sister. And then, a silver haired undead man with a flying blue cat landed on the floor of the ship. “Thank goodness we found you. C’mon. We got a mission and you and your ‘Team Natsu’ have a job request from the old man and a princess.” 

“So Hisui and Bartra both agree to have us do something, but what is this so-called mission?” asked [Y/N]. 

Ban smirked. “We’re fighting slave-trading pirates.” 

“I want in!” Luffy cheered.

What are some of your favorite one piece moments and why?

WHOO BOY thanks for asking and buckle up ‘cause this is gonna be a long one

(A note before I start: I read OP up to volume 63 in German and the rest in English, so I apologize if I get some pre-ts names wrong! Also these are in somewhat of a chronological order and based solely on the manga.)

Luffy giving the dog (Shushu?) the last box of food: This is the moment that made me love Luffy, it’s such a simple but effective way of showing his core philosophy that people’s treasures and dreams have inherent value and that everyone deserves to have someone by their side who will fight for them when they can’t do it themselves.

Bellmere: Just. Everything about her and that flashback. “They are my kids”, just... It made me emo back then, still makes me emo today. Love it, love her, love her design and what she’s all about. Yes.

Luffy going “I’m nothing without my crew!” in Arlong Park: Bear with me here ‘cause I was like 12 when I read this arc the first time, and back then I didn’t get why Nami wouldn’t just ask for help (so the “Help me!” moment only became a tear-jerker during my many, many re-reads). Something that did make immediate sense to me was Luffy straight-up admitting his skillset is limited to punching things very good, and I was like hell yeah go Luffy because I was 12. (I also love that this sentiment was echoed by Luffy going “I can’t be Pirate King without you” in Whole Cake Island two years later, so that’s another favorite right there.)

Skipping ahead otherwise we’ll be here all day but Luffy carrying Sanji and Nami in Drumm. Seeing him climb up that mountain with his bare hands and feet fucked me up even as a kid, the way Oda paced it really made you feel what an absolutely harrowing experience that must’ve been and I still think about it a lot.

Zoro fighting Mr. 1 in Alabasta: That fight was just mindblowingly cool and I love Zoro. That panel of him kneeling in his own blood after winning the fight hrgghhgh and oh hey THE STRAWHATS SHOWING THE X ON THEIR ARMS FOR VIVI 🥺🥺🥺  how are those not permanent tattoos Oda FIGHT ME

The entirety of Noland & Kargara, how they died without seeing each other and fully mending the argument they had and how Luffy ringing the bell hundreds of years later redeemed it all. Oda went incredibly hard on Skypia’s backstory and I’m not entirely sure what possessed him to tell a story that tragic but I, for one, am grateful. (Fun fact I was extremely late to this whole shipping thing and thus One Piece is very much about the platonic nakamaship of it all for me but even as a clueless baby fan I shipped THE FUCK out of Noland & Kargara oh my)

“I want to live!” + Sogeking shooting the WG flag + Usopp’s speech to Luffy + Luffy almost fighting to the death to keep his crew safe + MERRY’S GOODBYE: I bawl my eyes out every time I read Water 7, it’s my favorite arc to this very day because it’s just so complex and nuanced and the crew’s limits being tested in every way is just a very rewarding (if incredibly emotional) thing to witness. It put both Robin and Usopp on the map as two of my absolute favs and I’m so grateful for that.

The Strawhats teaming up against Oz (?) was something I didn’t know I needed until I saw it and I’ve been gunning for another Strawhat group fight ever since. The team work, the absolute trust, just everything about it was a delight and made all the stuff that followed (Zoro & Sanji laying down their lives for their captain, the entirety of Sabaody) so much more painful. Also Bink’s Sake because Brook deserves to have friends to sing it with him every single day of his life!!!

Luffy refusing to ask if the One Piece is real or not on Sabaody: I just adore that moment. Rayleigh was so soft and indulgent with these baby pirates carrying along the legacy of Roger’s old hat... My heart...

Mr. 2/Bon Curry (?) in Impel Down. ‘Nuff said.

Ace saying “Thank you” after you-know-what but let’s not linger on that because I was reading One Piece weekly back then and it traumatized me to the point I didn’t keep up with it for 10 years haha!

The post-timeskip era is a bit of a blur to me because I binged it all just a few months ago and my memory is McFreaking Terrible but I’ll start with Law being warned on two separate occasions that he might not like an alliance with Luffy, making the alliance anyways and proceeding to burn in “Strawhat-ya is a fucking moron” purgatory ever since. I don’t care if it’s overdone, every year Law loses to Luffy’s idiocy is one added to my lifespan. Godspeed, king of emo pirates. You dug your grave now lie in it.

Sabo coming back: I know there’s discourse about that doing bad things to the plot and the stakes of character deaths in One Piece, bla bla bla, I truly do not care. Luffy getting one (1) big brother back and Sabo stepping up to Ace’s legacy was so monumental when it happened that it briefly brought me back from my One Piece hiatus and I immediately bought volume 75 when it came out in German. (Now if Oda will only let him live and let Luffy actually hang out with his brother I would very much appreciate that, huff huff.)

USOPP UNLOCKING OBSERVATION HAKI AND SAVING LUFFY AAAAAAAAAA

Corazon holding onto life until Law was safe + Corazon’s smile: Corazon in general, actually. Law harboring that little bit of kindness he was shown as a kid and plastering it all over his ship and his crew and his own fucking skin. Mmmm love me a big sip from that good ol’ heartbreak.

Still in Dressrosa, Zoro going “I wonder what he’s dreaming about” when Luffy smiles in his sleep. It’s this little line and kinda insignificant because they’re talking to Sabo in that moment (and that’s clearly like woah), but it’s so fucking soft and it made my heart grow three sizes so there.

Jack getting one-shotted by Zunesha: Get rekt you insufferable asshole oh my god

Whole Cake Island is practically 78 chapters of favorite moments but Nami saying goodbye to Sanji + Luffy almost ripping his arms out to warn Sanji about Pudding + Sanji making a Strawhat lunchbox by accident + “That’s just how you are” + Luffy muffling his pain in front of the mirror so his crew doesn’t worry (Oda turn on your location I just want to talk) + Sanji carrying Luffy back to the ship + “I’m your captain now! Don’t die even if it kills you!” so yeah, the entire thing. Also Katakuri??? What a loser I love him

[Spoilers for Wano]

And if I went into all the things I like about Wano we’d truly be here all day. Gun to my head I’d probably pick Zoro & Luffy reuniting, Kidd & Killer in Udon (of course) and “At sea you fight pirates!” as my favorite moments so far. Also Jinbei joining the crew after a million years holy shit FINALLY and Luffy getting angry over spilled bean soup and KIDD BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF APOO FUCK YES and don’t get me started on the new characters especially Kiku and Yamato and---

[End of Wano spoilers]

Anyhow. My answer to “What’s your favorite One Piece moment?” is basically “YES” to all of it, thanks for coming to my TED talk.
