#and bam point of no return

[levmada]

ik you’re an mcr fan even tho u don’t talk about it all that much on here, but as a fellow levi and mcr stan i have to ask if you have any feelings/thoughts about tour officially being over because i’m in shambles

mannnnn i’ve been in love with mcr since i was 9 or 10 years old and not only is that where my love of music started but how i started to cope with my Living Situation as a kid and🧍🏻it’s rly difficult to put into words how much mcr means to me. /srs the course of my life would be different if i never started listening to them. i wouldn’t be the PERSON i am. they’re actually also… how i got into writing fanfic💀 i know alllll the lore. watched lotms more times than i can count. watched their concerts on youtube. learned every detail about frank iero and gerard way as possible. etc etc etc it’s kind of insane. i so much more than love them but ur right i don’t mention it enough on this blog lol

(bro i remember where i was on halloween 2019 when the reunion post went up on instagram. i lost my SHIT and don’t even get me started on their single. holy fuck)

this past tour would’ve been the first time i ever saw them in concert (i was too young to ever go before 2013 when they broke up rip… but on that topic in 2018 when it appeared that they were returning i remember vividly listening to their entire discography (((for not the first time… bc i did so every march 22nd aka the anniversary of when the band broke up……))) and dressing up as “””emo””” as possible for some reason only 16 year old me knows. the disappointment when i learned it was just the anniversary for the black parade and a… honestly mediocre remix? true betrayal tbh) - but then my concert was cancelled bc of stupid reasons wherein basically the organizers fucked up. at that point i’d been waiting like 3 years to see them (bc of covid), and i didn’t have the money even WITH a refund to buy another ticket or travel, so i just tapped out. it sucked.

BUT ANYWAY i’m not nearly as obsessed with them as i used to be, even though i will always love mcr and everything they stand for until i die. all that to say i haven’t been keeping up with the tour much, partly because mcr stan twitter is fucking unbearable. idk maybe the fandom just isn’t my scene anymore or there are too many young people in it, it’s hard to explain.

i’m really really really fuxking interested in what they do next though. a single being released implies an album in the future in which case i will explode, causing the heat death of the universe and i will become one with the soundwaves emanating from the music.

hope a ramble like that answers ur question🥰

OH: my number one favorite fun fact about myself is that i was born on the exact day their first album bullets was released. to this day my favorite album by them tbh

#19.3 Unravel

It had been some time since Agni felt this nervous. Not even talking with Jinsung Ha recently had made him feel like this. He fiddled with the mask on his hand as he waited for Grace to come back. He had thought hard on how to deliver the news, but he knew that no matter how he phrased it, Grace would be upset. Velt nuzzled under his palm and Agni gave her a few pats, before deciding that she would be better inside her bowl in his lighthouse, just in case the shinsu acted up around Grace after he received the news.

Grace came back wearing the comfiest shirt and shorts Agni knew Grace liked to wear on lazy days. He joined him on the floor, and they ate dinner together. Agni always finished last, so while waiting for him to finish his meal, Grace told him about his day with Bam. Grace was intrigued by how much his way of thinking had changed, and how glad he was to be able to be by Bam's side when he was having a bad day. It reminded Agni of the hidden floor, when Grace faced his sworn enemy.

They left the used bowls on the coffee table and went to brush their teeth. Afterwards, they turned off the light and went upstairs to sit on their bed. Grace's curious gaze never left him, and Agni curled his feet nervously.

Grace was the one who broke the silence. "So…what is it?"

Agni's breath hitched. This was the part he dreaded most. "I talked with the crocodile earlier. Did you know that he could manipulate stone already?"

"Huh." Grace needed a few seconds to let the information sink in. "Didn't Rak learn it on the Hell train? How does he know it?"

"Turns out our crocodile also traveled back to the past like us. He found the young crocodile and taught him."

"What?!" Grace gasped, wide eyed. "That means our Rak is–!!"

"He's dead." Agni quickly snuffed out that hope. They had been in delusion for long enough; it was time that they faced the bitter truth. "He suffered a fatal injury from the explosion. He couldn't have lasted long without proper help." Agni omitted the actual cause for Rak's death, but still kept his words true. "I'm sorry."

"…Oh." Grace looked lost, just like Agni was. His lips parted a little, but they closed before any sound escaped.

Agni gently squeezed Grace's hand, encouraging and comforting as he let the silence stretch on, giving Grace some time to process the information.

"Agni…" Grace whispered, "do you think Hatz and Isu…?"

Agni bit his lip and avoided his gaze, as the nightmare of that day replayed in his mind. He witnessed Hatz get his arms ripped off when trying to protect him. He could still recall the clang of a sword hitting the floor, and Hatz's suppressed scream that gnawed deep at his guilt. He witnessed Isu get beheaded after being taken hostage, the memory of warm blood painting them both still vivid like it happened yesterday. 

Agni refused to acknowledge their possible deaths, because it felt like a nightmare that one day he could hopefully wake up from. He avoided the topic when Grace brought it up, so he wouldn't have to say it aloud and make it real. He had been so hard on himself, because he couldn't get rid of the feeling that he had failed Grace and everyone else involved.

Agni knew this had to change if he wanted to live better, now that they had gotten a second chance. So he swallowed down the lump in his throat that had built up over the years and asked mostly to himself; "What are the odds of their survival?"

"There's always a chance–"

"Grace." Agni looked him straight in the eye. "They were already severely injured before the explosion hit."

Grace fell silent and went still.

Agni felt a pang of guilt upon witnessing Grace's reaction. "Sorry. I didn't mean to snap." Agni fiddled with his hands. He realized that he didn't know how much Grace knew of what happened. "My scar…do you know how I got it?"

"I…was told it was from the family heads' battle." Grace looked thoughtful. Agni knew he was trying to be careful with his words. "A stray attack?"

"It could have been worse." The memory of the scorching heat on his skin felt like it had only happened yesterday. He passed out right when he was about to heal Isu, and only found out later that he also lost sweetfish at that time. The days he spent recovering from the burn, to withstand the excruciating pain every second he was conscious, and finally coming to terms that it'd be a permanent scar, was one of the turning points that had changed him forever. Were Grace not there to care for him, he might have ended up destroying himself even more.

Agni hadn't realized he had his left hand clawing on his cheek until Grace pried his hand off and frowned, "You're doing it again."

"Maybe I should wear the mask…" Agni muttered to himself. After all, Grace gave it to him less so he could hide the scar but more to prevent him from unconsciously hurting himself. The only time he could safely take it off was when Grace was around.

Agni bit his lip nervously when Grace didn't reply. He no longer had the courage to look Grace in the eye that spoke so much concern, so he leaned close and rested his head on Grace's chest. "Rak, Isu, Hatz and Hwaryun were trying to get me out of that damned place. But we were caught while escaping, and…it was a bloodbath. I was…too occupied to react to the incoming heat. Rak shielded us from the explosion. And when I woke up…"

"They weren’t with you," Grace finished it for him after Agni trailed off a moment too long.

Agni nodded dazedly, "I've been telling myself that they're still alive, after a blow that could kill rankers. But…who am I kidding? I was lucky enough to survive with just this little–" Agni vaguely pointed to himself– "inconvenience."

Agni felt a hand gripping his arm, and he pulled away to see Grace looking at him with a pained expression. His eyes were glossy and his lips were pulled into a thin line. Trusting his instinct, Agni reached out to gently trace and cup Grace's cheek with his free hand.

"I'm sorry," Agni muttered. "I'm sorry, for not telling you sooner."

Agni silently witnessed tears that streamed down on his love's face. It was a bitter sight that Agni wished he'd never have to see again, that he had tried to avoid for so long by not telling him. He pulled Grace in and held him close to his chest, as if Agni was trying to gather his own crumbled heart back together.

Grace mumbled their late best friends' names as he held onto him tighter, shaking from each breath he took between sniffles.

Agni felt his own eyes sting with unshed tears. He remembered the years he spent climbing the tower together with his old team. Despite their banter being his source of headaches, Agni knew he too had come to acknowledge them as his cherished friends. Only when they were gone did Agni realize how much he'd miss having them around. Seeing the younger them didn't exactly close the gaping hole in his heart, but at least the emptiness was more filled.

Agni squeezed Grace tighter. "We have their younger selves with us now. We will protect them better this time."

Grace only nodded and sank further into his embrace. And Agni planted kisses on his hair, relishing the thought that after everything he had gone through, Grace was still a constant in his life. As long as he had him, everything would be okay.

When Grace started shaking again, Agni caressed his hair and hummed a comfort song they had known by heart. Still, it didn't make falling asleep any easier for Agni, especially not after admitting that his nightmare was very much real. However, as he had been through grief…this, too, would pass.

Summary: Ace knows where he left his hat. But when it's not there, he hunts it down, only to discover the culprit. How can he convince the thief to return his precious hat?

A/N: I adore this man!! This one just feels super sweet and playful to me. Enjoy!

“I swore I hung it up here,” Ace muttered to himself as he scratched his head, holding up a towel around his waist.

He recalled taking off his hat, hanging it on the door, and heading into the showers. 

Narrowing his eyes at the empty hook, he yawned before heading to his quarters. 

I know I didn’t leave it in here…

His room was a bit of a mess, and Ace sucked his teeth at the sight of the clothes on the floor. 

He knew it couldn’t be down there, but he had to check, annoyance building the longer his hat wasn’t in sight. 

Keeping one hand on his towel, Ace got to his knees, leaning down to check under his bed.

“Ahem.”

Ace tensed, flipping around to see his door close, but his eyes were only on you.

You.

“Bam, got ya,” you said, mocking his voice as you pointed finger guns his way. You brought a finger to your lips, blowing imaginary smoke his way.

Ace’s eyes raked over your bare skin, loving the way your breathing hitched when he watched you. All you wore were cowboy boots, a belt around your waist, and… 

“That’s my hat,” Ace teased, just a hint of threat in his words. He sat on the ground, leaning his back against the side of the bed. 

“Are you sure? I think it looks better on me.”

“Oh,” he asked with a laugh, shaking his head at you. “Why don’t you come a little closer, and I’ll take a look?”

You bounced on your toes for a moment, giving him the cutest fucking smile before shaking your head.

“How do I know I can trust you?”

“Trust me,” Ace questioned, mock outrage given away by his shit eating grin. “You’re the thief. Guess I’ll have to take it back from you myself.”

He loved the look in your eyes when you watched him stand, leaving the towel on the floor. The way your eyes widened every time his cock sprang loose, as if you could never get enough of him. 

You held your finger guns out to ward him off, but he just grabbed your wrists, leaning down to kiss your fingers.

“Bam,” you breathed, shooting a fake bullet against his lips.

“Oh no, you got me!”

Ace cried out, falling to his knees as you giggled, his warm hands sliding up and down on your thighs. 

“Looks like I’ll have to take you down to get what’s mine.”

Your laughter turned into a gasp as he pushed your back against the door. 

He wrapped one hand into the belt at your waist, holding you firm, then spread your thighs with the other.

“My hat does look pretty good on you from down here, sugar. But I’m still gonna take it from you.”

Your reply was cut short by the press of warm lips against your core, his tongue dipping into your wet folds so fast you felt dizzy. 

You felt him chuckle against your skin as you wobbled, and he gripped your belt harder, forcing your hips where he wanted them. 

“Such a brazen thief, I wonder what kind of punishment you deserve.”

He watched you moan and writhe, pressing yourself up against the door. 

“Who knew criminals could taste this sweet?”

He swirled his tongue around your clit before sucking it between his teeth. He lifted one of your legs over his shoulder as he shoved his tongue into you as deep as he could go. 

“F-Fuck, Ace…”

“Oh, is my little villain already sorry? Ready to give me what’s mine?”

A cute whimper left your throat, but all you did was shake your head. 

He grinned, then sucked your clit back into his mouth. Then he made his tongue warm, and warmer, and hot, until you yelped, trying to pull away from him. He stopped the heat, but he didn’t let you escape, yanking on that belt while you squirmed. 

“Can’t take the heat…”

Ace teased you, pulling back to kiss your thighs. He looked up at your pretty face, your skin all flushed for him. 

He stood, pressing you against the door, his cock twitching as it traced against your skin. 

“You wanted to be a cowgirl, huh, baby?”

He grabbed your hands again, kissing them while you caught your breath.

Pulling one hand away, you pointed your finger at his heart with another breathy ‘bam.’

Ace let out a surprised, and joyful laugh. You were always so fun, so beautiful, so free. And you always seemed to want him. 

He lifted you up, and you wrapped your legs around his waist, twisting your fingers into his still damp hair. 

He had planned on taking you to the bed, but when your wet cunt rubbed along his cock, he lost all rational thought, head leaning forward to moan in your ear. 

Your back hit the door again, and you felt the wood groan from the weight. 

“Wait–”

Your eyes rolled back as he rubbed his length along your clit, covering himself in your need for him. 

“Ace…”

His head was buried in your neck, breathing in your scent, and the sound of his name on your lips was everything. 

He lined himself up, holding you against the door. Slowly pushing into your tight, wet pussy, he moaned softly as your body clenched around his with every inch. 

“Ace,” you moaned, this time your voice was high and strained as you fought to stay quiet against the door.

“My pretty little thief,” he rasped in your ear, thrusting so fucking slowly into you. 

There was no better feeling than sinking himself into you, hearing your soft breaths, feeling your frantic heart. 

The aching pressure building in you made you shake, and you were clawing at his back as you tried to stay up, and stay quiet. 

“Please,” you stuttered, moaning again as he tilted his hips up into you. 

“Alright, cowgirl.”

Ace finally took you away from the door, fingers digging into your ass as he slammed you onto him a few times before walking to the bed. 

You had already lost. The hat was about to fall off your head from the way you twitched for him. 

You gasped as he climbed onto the mattress, standing on the edge as he turned. With his back to the bed, your eyes widened at his mischievous smile.

“Wait, Ace, don—“

“Hang on to my hat, gorgeous.”

“No!”

You grabbed his hat at the last second, hand pressing it onto your head as he let himself fall backwards onto the bed.

He laughed as he kept a firm grip on your hips, luckily keeping you in place as you fell.

But even with his effort to keep your body still on his, the slam onto the mattress made you both cry out.

You were reeling from the force of his cock, hitting so deep as you bounced onto the bed.

“Ace!”

You slapped his chest, still panting, trying to breathe.

He couldn’t help the laughter that burst out of him at your blown out eyes, your outrage diminished by the desperate way your mouth hung open. 

“Go on then, cowgirl. Take me for a ride.”

You let out what had to be a growl, pressing your hands down on his chest as you tried to fuck yourself onto his thick cock. 

With all that he’d already done to you, your body was limp and shaking. You rolled your hips, running your fingers along the muscles of his stomach, his chest, playing lightly with his nipples until he let out a breathy laugh. 

You gained some leverage, digging your boots into the bed as you started to lift off of him until just the tip of his cock was sunk into you.

Then you dropped down on him, your aching cunt sucking him in, the intense heat of his body filling you up.

“Your cock feels so good, Ace. I need you inside me everyday, baby.”

Needy whimpers left his throat, until your legs turned to jello, and you couldn’t keep up the pace.

“My pretty little cowgirl can’t ride? Do you want me to show you how, darlin’?”

“Mmhm,” you moaned, eyes heavy lidded as you nodded. 

“Ya gonna give me my hat back if I make you scream on my cock, princess?”

“Fuck, please, Ace.”

He thrust up into you abruptly, reaching a hand up to touch your beautiful face. He brushed away a cute little tear as you pressed your face against his warm hand.

“That didn’t sound like a yes. Guess I’d better not make deals with thieves.”

He stopped every movement, your own movement falling limp without his support.

“Wait, yes, please! Please make me come on your cock, I swear I’ll give your hat back.”

He rubbed his thumb over your drooling lips, smiling when you didn’t hesitate to suck it into your mouth. 

“There’s my pretty baby. Hold on tight.”

You gripped his chest again as he dug his heels into the mattress. He held the belt tight on your waist, using it to fuck up into you harder and faster than you were expecting so soon, and you let out a small, but filthy scream.

He kept thrusting as he laughed, so fucking pleased to watch you unravel for him.

“Already screamin’ for me, huh, baby? Looks like I get my hat back now.”

He sat up, pressing your bodies together as he rocked into you on his lap. 

Your faces were so close, breaths mixing as he teased raspy words in your ear.

“You look really good getting fucked in my hat, darlin’. You like getting in trouble, don’t ya?”

All you could could was moan, high and desperate. He could tell you were so close to that edge, and he needed it, needed you.

“You want me, baby?”

His question had you clenching on him harder, and he moaned while you answered.

“I want you so bad, Ace. I want you to fill me up. Fuck, please come inside me, I need you.”

His fingers dug into your thighs, body fighting not to give into your words that very second.

“Give me my hat back,” he said in a growl, watching your body shiver at his demand. With shaky hands, you lifted his hat up, your hair so adorably mussed, then set it on his head while he kept gently pushing into you. 

“Good girl.”

He flipped you onto your back, wasting no time. He pressed your thighs toward your shoulders, hunting for that spot that makes you melt.

You came almost instantly, knuckles shoved between your teeth as you tried, and failed, not to scream. 

Ace didn’t care if anyone heard. He loved that everyone knew how much you wanted him, loved hearing you scream his name.

He would have told you not to hide it now, but the sight of your sweet body, writhing underneath him, was too much. 

“Fuuckk... Coming, princess.”

“Ace!”

He used the belt like a handle again, shoving as deep inside you as he could. 

You milked his cock of every fucking drop, his come filling you, a wave of liquid heat inside you.

You were limp as he pressed slow kisses on your chest and face. Finally, you made little whimpers and squirmed as he pulled out of you. His eyes almost rolled back at the sight of his come spilling out of your messy little cunt.

“How’s my pretty hat thief?”

You hummed, a contented smile on your lips making him want to do this everyday. To make you feel good everyday. 

“I think you killed me,” you laughed, voice weak as you reached your hand up to touch his cheek. 

“I could never kill my little criminal,” he teased, kissing your lips so softly as his eyes melted into yours. 

“I love you too much.”

You pinched his cheek, face flushing as you grinned, the sight of you stopping his breath for a moment. 

“I love you too, Ace.”

Could I request headcanons of Honkai men getting random hugs and kisses from their s/o?

Ooh I feel like I could do them all buuut I also don’t like doing tags lmao so forgive me. I’ll add anyone new, idm!

Characters: Caelus, Welt, Bladie, Jing Yuan

☆ Caelus

100% blushing but definitely infatuated. Caelus isn’t used to this type of affection but keep it coming.

He does get embarrassed if it’s in public. Will ask for you to refrain in front of strangers. Otherwise, small hugs and kisses the best in his opinion. Kinda ok around friends, just not too much.

Once he’s pretty used to it, which doesn’t take that long, he starts returning them. He does try his best to often try and catch you off guard because those are the most fun.

No, you can’t always tell. That’s the point!

☆ Welt Yang

Uhh he’s pretty sure he’s a little too old for that. But I mean, don’t stop.

Welt is a bit more reserved and so he’s not overly fond of PDA, but small things here and then aren’t too bad.

He actually likes returning it. Like, catching you off guard with a kiss and watching your eyes widen is so cute and exciting. Makes him feel all young again with that first love kinda feeling.

It does turn into a war behind closed doors. If you surprise him with a kiss, he’ll try to one up you like “no, I kissed you.”

☆ Bladie

He will 100% freeze up and just stand there for a second. Even after a while of this, he isn’t very used to it.

He likes it though. Like, sometimes he’ll expect it and just wait patiently. Then he gets sad if it doesn’t happen.

He tries to do the same, but he’s extremely awkward. Like, he’ll lean in and just get embarrassed. Then he’ll give you a quick kiss, turn away, and blush.

It’s extremely endearing and he’s definitely trying to be less awkward. It takes time- a long time- but any progress is better than none.

☆ Jing Yuan

Oh, so you’ve chosen war? Ok, well don’t forget this was started by you.

Jing Yuan is more than more than happy to fluster you with surprise make out sessions. You’ll be busy and bam! Make out session!

Don’t worry, he’ll never do that in public. He has class. But you let your guard down and well, that’s an opportunity. No, he's not sorry. In fact, he's all smug about it like "well, pay attention next time".

Goes without saying, he’s so for it. He loves it. He eats it up. Please give him all of your affection and love and YOU.

[bambihrt]

Hi ! Would you be up for writing some angst to fluff with Adam ? My poor angel deserves some love !

Yes of course! Now this is some very light angst but hopefully you enjoy it, Adam is such an interesting character I hope I’m able to do him some justice haha

- 🤍

Dating the first man to ever exist is no easy task. He’s a popular guy and is usually the center of attention in any situation. However you couldn’t help but feel jealous over those who get to spend a lot of time with him. In particular the angel Lute. Anytime you see your boyfriend when not at each other’s homes or on a date, she’s always with him. The way she looks at him just doesn’t sit right. You can’t help but think there could be something more going on.

It’s not that you don’t trust Adam but it’s only natural to have doubts when your boyfriend is often around another woman. Now envy is a sin, you know that so you’d never voice this opinion out loud. But as time goes on, these feelings start to simmer until they start affecting your relationship.

Adam could tell something was up. He had no clue though what this could be. It’s unlike you to be so quiet when he’s talking to you. He was telling you this story on how Lute and him were chasing down this sinner on the last extermination day.

“You should have seen the look on his face babe! Lute had cornered him into this alleyway and then right when he thought he’d gotten away… BAM I jump out from behind and spear him straight through the fuckin’ middle! And then Lute-“

“Wow sounds like you and Lute are the perfect team.” This comment of yours sounded less enthusiastic and more snarky than he’d hoped for.

“Well yeah I guess but that’s not really the point (y/n), I was trying to tell you how badass I was,” Adam was giving you the perfect opportunity to ignore the tone of what you last said and move on but you couldn’t get out of this headspace.

“Yeah Lute sounds pretty badass too from the countless stories you tell me.”

“Woah babe what’s this about?”

“Just seems to me like Lute’s always on your mind Adam from how you’re always with her and talking about her. Maybe you should date her instead.”

Adam huffed and got up, “yeah yknow what? Fuck this, go take this attitude to someone who could give a shit, I’m just trying to have a nice time and you’re sounding like an insecure bitch right now.”

After that comment Adam stormed out of your room and slammed the door leaving you alone to wallow in self pity. For the next week you didn’t hear from your boyfriend or even see him out. You couldn’t help but think you’ve ruined your relationship with the argument you had. Until you wake up to your doorbell ringing.

Opening your door to Adam standing in front, scratching the back of his neck.

“Look (y/n) I thought you were being completely irrational but then imagined our roles were reversed and I’d be pissed if you were hanging around some guy all day.”

“So what are you trying to say?”

“That I’m sorry. Even though I’ve had two wives, I’m not the best at relationships so next time something’s up just talk to me about it,” after he finished saying this, you stood onto your tippy toes and pulled the mask off your boyfriend’s worried face.

“I’m sorry too Adam, I shouldn’t have taken my worries out on you and just communicated from the start, that wasn’t fair of me,” you gave him a soft smile of which he returned with a hug and pulled you into his arms, making his way to the couch where you two snuggled under a blanket and just held each other while watching your favorite movie.

As you were starting to drift off you thought you’d heard your boyfriend mumble, “I love you (y/n), I’m going to marry you some day so please don’t think I have eyes for anyone else but you.” But who knows maybe you were really sleepy and imagined it. However the twinkle in Adam’s eyes when he watched you close your own seemed to hint at it being true.

so what if you are michael kaiser's ex. like just one of many, the one that broke up with him a year ago. the catch is that despite hating this guy's guts, somehow you always ends up meeting him again at least 3 times a month. 20 times, if you are particularly unlucky that month.

your friend drags you to a party? bam, kaiser is there—with a new date. a job meeting with someone in the cafe? wow kaiser is sitting two tables away. you got lost in some big city in another country with your phone battery dying? would you look at that—it's kaiser.

and, probably the worst part, it isn't as if kaiser isn't also sick of you. he is probably your #1 hater at this point. gone was the charming bad boy from the first date and only a bitter ex is left.

the funny part is that this particular bitter ex is one that accompanies you in the party when your friend left you ("my date gets boring," he said); one that looks ready to punch a guy and helps you when your client turns out to be an asshole ("why did i help you?" he parrots your question. "if i ignored that it will just be worse for me in the way that i don't want it to be."); and the one who makes sure you reach your hotel safely ("idiots like you need pity to stay alive.")

the one that doesn't want any present he gave to you returned, but also the one who scoffs whenever you ask "Why?" or "Why the fuck?"

(if kaiser is also one that couldn't swallow his pride to ask you back, that's for everyone except you to know.)

(and if you still never date anyone after breaking up with him that's your own problem and no one else's.)

i have been itching to write ex!kaiser since like. idk. last month?? a bit tempted to also include the 'we knew each other too long to cut each other off' trope, but that's for another time. he is enough of a complicated asshole already. so it's just 'exes who still clearly have feeling for each other' + 'exes who acts like sworn enemy' with a pinch of 'everyone knows and are sick of them' trope. this dude and this idea is hilarious to me because like he is kind of a himedere in my head, but he is so interesting and not just t h a t in a very 'i want to punch him' way. but anyway very brainrot but this guy, i believe, despite his narcissistic tendencies and all his self centered issues, seems like someone who will love deeply when it came for the one™. like dude is like that with soccer, the capital c commitment is strong. it's just reaching that stage that's hard, because he is also capital a asshole.

I'm assuming you meant like, if you broke up with Mammon? If thats not what u meant just send in another anon! I wont mind :3

- Okay, first of all, how dare you?

- He is, the Mammon. You don't just decide when things are over!

- You were smart enough to break it off with him over text, rather than in person, because he absolutely would throw a scene. No matter where you are, public or private. Think Sarah Lynn level shit.... like, literally stabbing himself, in public, to prove a point.

- What is the point? That he loves you!

- He's especially pissed off about the fact that you broke it off with him though. It bruised his ego, he would much, much prefer it if he had been the one to have broken up with you. He would have never done that though.

- He would go through the five stages of grief 100%

- For the first few days he's in DEEP denial about it. He'd go about life as though the two of you were still together, even though you weren't there.

- Pretending that you were on a work trip or something really helped. It gave him a sense of hope that one day you'd return to him, and he'd feel your warm body embraced against his once again.

- But you and Mammon were a big public thing, like, everyone knew about you. So, people started to notice your absence. Where you would always be by his side now bore an empty pocket of air. People started questioning it;

- From simple posts online to 666News interviews asking him invasive questions regarding your lack of publicity. It pissed him right off, because he couldn't pretend you were still with him whilst constantly being reminded that you weren't.

- And then you spoke up about the breakup.

- You made a Tweet regarding the status of your relationship. Que the next stage...

- With the world now aware of your distanced status Mammon was bombarded with crude comments and remarks, from your fans and haters, to his fans and haters. It'd range from "Wow Mammon fumbled the bag hard." to "Now that Mammon is single do you think he'll start letting groupies backstage ?"

- He actually refused to show up to a lot of interviews and talk-shows because every single time theu brought up the headline, he would get so, so angry. He's almost torn through an interviewer once or twice.

- His bargaining phase was the absolute worst phase though.

- Thousands of calls a day, and an equal level of voice messages followed by hundreds of texts. You'd block his number and then BAM, another number calls you. He manipulates the phone manufacturer of Hell to give him an unlimited free supply of phones so expect him to not let up in that department.

- You know that meme where the person is stood outside the door, crying, with an umbrella over their head and fake rain over them. That's him.

- He gets Beelzebub to provide the fake rain and probably prepared a whole speech to recite to you... its not that good though, most of it is deflective bullshit. He wont take his own problems into account at all.

- If you don't take him back after that then he may even resort to the old boombox by the window trick.

- I don't think he'd hit the depression or acceptance stages of grief, though. He's a tempermental character and he resorts to anger if something doesn't go his way. So the traits he shows through this whole ordeal is frustration and desperation.

- He has a strict victim complex too. So he's most likely never going to understand what he did wrong in the relationship.

- Even if he did realise what he did however, he isn't apologising. He expects you to understand and forgive him despite this.

-It would take him a long while to get over you.

-You were one of the only people who would put up with his shitty personality, who could make him feel so loved and adored. It had been a long, long time since someone had made him feel such a way. It was such a fleeting experience, and he will not be recovering from the loss of your love any time soon.

This is a little short, so I do apologise! I hope you enjoy it anon :)

Vox x gn!reader

Genre:Fluff | Cw: death, car crash, hospital mention

☆Devilish Love☆

Darkness. That's all you could remember until you wake up in this fiery hellscape. In reality, you were hit by a drunk driver and was in a coma back on Earth with family crying at your bedside, but your soul was trapped here. In the underworld of sinners that were repenting for their crimes.

You wandered the streets, looking around at the different sinners, demons, and other wayward souls. That is until you ran face first into someone, that being a tall man(?) if you could even call him that. He had a tv as a face for crying out loud. "Watch it." He said in a voice that was common in late 50's shows, his voice was sharp and boomed. Ofcourse you squeaked out an apology, but it wouldn't be the last. As you ran into him several times, even getting into arguements with him.

Over time, you did grow close. You stopped arguing with him less often and he offered to let you stay at his place. Soon his roommates, Valentino and Velvette grew to accept you and noticed how much romantic tension there was. You hung around him like a lost puppy, helping him with paperwork or his various shows he produces. This did lead to some issues though, as one day you had accidentally mixed up the scripts for one of the shows and you got into an argument. You and Vox had argued for almost 2 hours, but he finally cracked and impulsively kissed you on the lips.

That kiss had spiraled into you being his right hand, his assistant, his second half. You and him ran Voxtech with a iron fist, planning on taking over sinners and hell. He was also planning some ring options behind the scenes, asking Velvette for help on diamond size, band size, even the box color. Little did he know that the doctors in the mortal plane had other ideas.

You stood in the kitchen, messy hair from just waking up and only in one of Vox's more casual shirts and some underwear. He sat at the island, pouring you guys some cereal, you were about to take a spoonful when BAM your gone in a blink of an eye. Vox panicked, going absolutely nuts. Every tv, phone, camera, you name it was spent looking for you. He even went down to the Princess's hotel to demand an answer from Alastor.

"WHERE ARE THEY ALASTOR! I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL TURN YOU INTO VENISON BY THE TIME IM DONE-" He yelled, going berserk at the front door of the hotel. The door opened by Vaggie lunging at him with her spear, but was thankfully stopped by Charlie. "What's going on? What did Alastor do?" She asked with her signature smile. "He took them! I just know he did!" Vox screeched, pointing his finger at the clam and smiling radio demon. Every one turned their heads to look at Alastor, who looked a bit too calm for the situation. "Who?" His staticy voice came off as genuine confusion. "MY SPOUSE YOU STUPID FUCK!" Vox argued. "Who?-" Alastor was cut off by Angel, "Wait. Someone married you?" He asks, "Well, we were going to get married, but-but they just DISAPPEARED!" Vox says desperately, but not wanting to give Alastor any ammo he left. He returned to his office, giving annoyed huffs to Valentino and Velvette's questions.

Meanwhile, you had woken up to a heart moniter beeping and the warm embrace of your mom, hugging and weeping. The smell of hospital had made you more aware of the situation. Was..was that all a dream? You weren't exactly the perfect person, but having a dream about falling inlove in hell was a bit much for your human mind. Eventually, years had passed and you had lived a single life with a few pets for company, never getting over that dream until your death. Unfortunately, time in hell is different, while almost 30 years had passed since that car crash it had only been a few months for Vox. He had lashed out and never stopped searching. He spent all his time balancing finding you, fighting Alastor, and running Voxtech.

You had woken up in the same place 30 years ago, but it didn't look like that time had passed. You were shocked, it wasn't a dream all those years ago. You dashed through the streets looking for the familiar building of your long lost beloved. Soon you reached your destination, zooming through the lobby, but getting caught short by security. You caused a huge scene, cussing and yelling, begging for them to let you see Vox. Velvette alerted him to your outburst and he zapped through the wires to the lobby and froze. It was you, the person he still had the perfectbring for. The person he still made a plate for. The person he hugged a pillow at night to remember the touch of. He ran to you, shouting at the guards to let you go. He hugged you tightly, sharing a few tears as you hugged him back. You missed this, he missed this.

After being reunited he couldn't wait anymore, he eventually proposed with the ring he saved all that time. Sure he waited months, but you waited years and now you both could take over hell together.

possessive

johnny knoxville x gn!fem!reader

words: 2333

tags: smut!!!, possessive johnny, jealous johnny, minor degrading, bam is a whore, uhhh aftercare

summery: you’re pretty, johnny’s agitated that everyone’s looking at you.

maybe it's the daisy dukes, maybe it's the bikini top, or maybe it's the way the strings of your swimsuit bottoms fit your hips, but whatever it is, something has johnny red and jittery in his beach chair across the lawn.

his leg is shaking at a rapid pace, his fingers drumming on the arm with his jaw clenched and eyes darkened.

you glance at him, confused and questioning, but he gives no clues as to what's wrong.

you frown, it's almost scary seeing him like this, unknowing of if he might explode, and if so, who will it be directed at? bam? steve? you? you shudder. you know it's just the ptsd, he wouldn't, johnny would never raise his voice with you. even before he knew your past he was gentle with you. still, you can't help but be uneasy around him, and his unrelenting stare. it felt as though he might pounce on you. you wonder if he takes notice of you slipping into the kitchen, away from the heat and noise and his eyes that were seemingly undressing you. you're putting cups in the sink, rinsing out the stickiness from the spiked lemonade; you're on vacation with the crew, and the bonfire still going strong even after the long hours had gone by, though it seems that everyone is still going strong, too. your ice machine begins whirring as the spheres clank into your cup, but you still hear the creak of the back door opening.

you whip around, only to see bam, sopping wet with his swim trunks dipping dangerously low.

"hey," your eyes avert away from his waist, and there's johnny right behind him with the same death glare as he'd been giving you before. "do you have more beer? ryan and i wanna do beer pong together." he grins.

"what's the loser do? kiss the winner?" you snicker, trying to keep your eyes away from johnny watching you with an intense stare. you pour more lemonade into your cup, sipping as the burn runs down into you. shuddering again, you point at the cooler. "there, have at."

he nods thankfully, grabbing a couple of cases and scurrying out.

and then it's just you, and johnny, and your tipsy thoughts. you can't seem to croak anything out, his jaw clenches harder and fear overwhelms you, you can't think properly anymore. the alcohol is taking over your brain inch by inch, and somehow through your fear, you can see the hint of lust in his eyes.

you're pretty sure that glint is being returned.

he's towering over you, and you're positive it's because you glanced at the way bam's trunks went too far down. how his v-line protruded, but it was nothing like the man standing in front of you.

you didn't want him, you remind yourself before the guilt can set in. you were just afraid they'd drop right down on your kitchen floor leaving a soggy mess.

you want johnny. his trunks aren't sagging, but his v-line is much more visible, along with the slight six-pack. the golden skin, the soft happy trail, all sitting right before you, tempting your deepest, darkest desires. your mouth is watering as you get sucked deeper into your focus on him.

"sweetheart," and his voice is soft and gravelly, a sign he'd been drinking too.

you're broken out of your trance as he drawls, "doll, look at me," his fingers touch your chin to lift your gaze up to his. "they've been drooling over you all goddamn day," it's almost a growl when he speaks yet his hand cups your face ever so gently, you can't help but melt into his touch. he licks his lips, "it makes me sick how they stare at you, can't stand the thought of anyone touching you, you know? bam coming in here, his trunks like that, he knew what he was doing. you're so goddamn edible." he gives a little scowl that you can't help but want to kiss away. and as if he reads your mind, he dips down to kiss your lips, "all mine, my pretty little whore."

you nod, your shoulders relax, and seeing his eyes still dark you understand. there's a burning inside you, and you're not quite sure if it's the alcohol, how johnny's hands are touching you, or maybe a bit of both.

you belong to him, it sinks in and it makes heat bubble in your stomach, he's scooping you close and bringing you out, his hand in your back pocket with a firm grip on your ass.

wolf whistles call out from friends, mostly in a joking manner, but it still makes johnny huff in a sharp breath, glaring once again.

"you're so fucking sexy, look at all these vultures staring you down," he mutters to you, and you can't help but shiver at his words when a tingle shoots down to your core. you blush, feeling all eyes on you. it makes you feel insecure, and you need a way for everyone's eyes to get off you, but then johnny sits, pulls you into his lap, and starts kissing under your ear. "mine, all mine." he purrs, a big hand on your thigh, the other on top of your hand with your fingers interlaced with his.

his cock begins to harden beneath you, and your breath catches in your throat. you need him, your thoughts are racing with all the things you want him to do to you. you hope he catches the hint to have a bit more privacy and you purposefully scoot across his cock while getting down. "i'm going into the water, you can come." you offer with a soft smile as you step down the beach into the cool ocean of your rented vacation home. it's an off-white with a wrap-around deck; there's a patio where the cup-pong is getting set up, a pavilion with snacks and drinks, and then there's you and johnny crossing across the soft sand into the warm water. his hands are wrapped around your waist and you rest your head against his chest.

"the sunset is pretty." you relax against him as he nods, bringing you closer to him. your eyes focus on the blurring colors in the sky, relaxing into his tense body. you turn around to face him, your cheeks are pink from the alcohol and the burning sun. his eyes sparkle with a mischievous glint, and you find your mouth parted ever so slightly, staring in awe.

"kiss me," you can barely whisper out, you're so entranced by him you can't think. "please." and his lips are touching yours without the chance for a second thought, you're pressed tightly together in the cool water under darkening skies. everything is muffled around you, the yelling and the catcalls, all gone from both of your minds. it's all focused on each other, the way your mouths are together, the way he tastes and smells and feels. god the way his cock pressed against your stomach, the heat radiating from his body, the way he wouldn't pull away for a single gasp of air, it was bound to make you dizzy. his hand grabbed at your ass, his mouth is leaving yours, and it's trailing down your neck. "johnny," you give out a hushed whine when you feel his cock rut against your thigh. "yes, sweetheart?" you melt at his tone, possessive, owning, and desperate. yet you can't get out what you need, it's only a pathetic plea you hope johnny will understand. "mm," he hums in a satisfied way, his hand moving to the inside of your thigh. "i want you too, honey. let's go back inside, hm?"

you nod eagerly, your body aching for him. your body is burning from the inside out with a desperate desire for the man with his icy hands groping at you. your head spins as your lips connect once more, and you gasp suddenly when his teeth sink into your lip. he presses himself against you even harder, and your body quivers beneath him. the water is getting colder by the second with the moon creeping into the sky, but it doesn't quite register with you and your feverish arousal that the temperature is dropping rapidly. it doesn't feel quick enough, but you're practically running to keep up with his long strides back to the house. you brush against bam, his eyes wide as he looks at you, and then at johnny's stern expression, and he yells something unintelligible to johnny about getting laid. everyone is staring, you can tell that now, and something in your stomach churns into more excitement as you can tell they know exactly where you're going. "i’m gonna be doing the laying, actually." he quips with a sly smirk and a wink to you.

the door of your bedroom is slammed behind you, and then before you can breathe you're pressed against the door with johnny's knee between your legs.

"fuck," you gasp out, grinding down onto him. "need you."

he lets out a quiet growl, feeling your warmth on his thigh, "need you too, princess. c'mon." he lifts you up onto his hipbone, and easily placing you onto the bed like paper he begins to tug at your jean shorts. you're so helpless underneath him; his tall, strong being looming over you. he's staring at you like you're his prey, and he's finally got you in his captivity, even tho he knows he had you all along. he brings his head down to bite your lip again, kissing you in such a romantic way made everything he was doing feel even dirtier. his lips make their way down your neck and down to your abdomen, claiming you as his with love bites wherever his teeth could sink. you whimper under him when his hot breath ghosts over your cold thigh. he places soft kisses along the inside of your thighs up to your bikini bottoms, his other hand gripping onto your hip to keep you still. he kisses up to your clit, making you shudder. he grins mischievously, his thumb caressing your pelvic bone while he kisses up the waistline. sliding them down, he places even more sloppy kisses before flicking along your clit with his tongue.

you let out a quiet whimper as his warmth continues to envelop your most sensitive areas. before you can even begin to catch your breath, his finger is sinking into you, pressing into you harshly. "oh, fuck. oh, god," your voice is raising and you quickly cover your mouth to muffle your desperate moans.

"no, no, honey," and he's grabbing your wrists and pining them above the bed. "let them hear you, i need them to hear you." he demands, and instantly you let out a small whimper as if on command. his fingers quicken at your noise, and his lips are against your ear sending shudders through your body like his breath was electric. "who makes you feel good, doll?"

"you." you're gasping out, eyes rolling back as he presses into your g-spot.

"who, baby? who's touching you, hm? tell them who's making you feel good." he continues, and you can feel your orgasm creeping up.

"johnny-johnny, you do, fuck you make me feel good. please, i'm so close." you cry, getting just to your climax when he pulls out his fingers. "fuck, please, please, please." you're begging with watery eyes and flushed cheeks, and he's pulling down his swim trunks, letting his cock out to press against his stomach leaving a drip of precum.

"are you ready?" he asks softly, his dark eyes sparkling when they meet yours. you nod to him, whispering out a yes as he presses himself into you. every time with him always feels just as special as your first. the way he holds you, the way he encourages and compliments you, the way he stares as if you're a precious jewel. it makes you feel warm and tingly, it makes you teeter closer to reaching your abandoned climax from not so long ago. his thrusts stay rhythmic, rocking his hips against yours at a steady pace. your body rocks with his, his moans sending sparks flying through you.

"please, please i'm so close," you beg for him once more, and his thumb goes down to flick your clit. now you're squeezing around him, all of the feeling overwhelming your senses as he's urging you, "cum, cum for me, baby. let them hear how good you feel. that's it, there you go." and with a sharp cry of his name, you reach a breathless climax. you feel cum dripping out of you, and a hand caressing your stomach. "hi, sweetheart. there you go, good job." he praises, encouraging you to come back down to him. "you did so good, make me feel so good, sweetheart." he continues, and you can feel him cleaning you up, a soft, warm towel wiping at your aching thighs.

"thank you," you whisper, a smile creeping onto the corners of your mouth. he leans in to kiss you softly, his body towering over you and his hands holding your face.

he smiles against your lips, "how 'bout a bath? or shower, hm?"

you can only nod, your throat aching in an unforgiving way. johnny leaves you to turn on the water, leaving the door open only a crack.

your head lays flat against the pillow, and you listen to the muffled voices outside.

“shit, knoxville.”

“yea, precious little thing,” the distinct drawl of your boyfriend, continuing to praise you.

the door creeks open, and johnny’s there coming to scoop you up and into the shower. “come on, princess.”

you peck his lips, laying bridal style in his arms. “i love you,” it’s hushed and soft, even though you wish the world could hear you.

“i love you.”

make it a game

yes, literally make all this manifesting stuff a game.

i think some of us put way too much pressure on manifesting our desires and the 3d results that it becomes stressful. some people even would go as far as to pause their responsibilities and tasks in life just for the sake of manifesting(aka neglecting the 3d and outer world).

yes, 4d and fulfilling inner world is important, u gotta do this do that blah blah blah, etc. but whatever u doing, stop making manifesting such a big stress. please focus on life and ur daily tasks and enjoying ur life and caring for urself

one way to make it less stressful is to treat manifesting like a game. because if it's a game, it would not be such a big deal if ur doing it right, if the 3d showing it, etc. it would not matter that much. you're just doing it for the fun and enjoyment.

for example, if im gonna manfiest bigger lips, and i decide that i'm gonna use robotic affirming as my way of manifesting it, i'll just make it a game by making my goal to just saturating my mind by affirming as many times as i can without wavering. i know u dont have to saturate ur mind to manifest but this is just an example i'm giving. and yes, robotic affirming and repetition works if u assume so. also repetition reprograms ur brain either way and makes it into an assumption BUT if u dont like affirming just replace that with however else u prefer to manifest. because you don't have to do anything its just whatever works for you y'know.

so in this case, i'll just focus on telling myself that "my lips are so big" over and over again without wavering aka persisting and dwelling in the new story and desired state. and if i start to get doubts or "negative" thoughts, i'll just not identify with those thoughts such as by letting them pass away without reacting to them, or by flipping them and just repeating affirmations. the goal is to affirm as many time as i can without giving up to the old story. i don't care about the 3d or whatever. i just care about the main goal of this game.

the point is to stay consistent. its completely fine to have negative thoughts. it's probably not gonna be natural at first bc if u first start out playing a game ur probably not a pro at it yet. but still don't give in. stand firm with the new story. don't waver back and forth. the mindset is very important. just keep persisting and keep the mental diet. keep returning to and dwelling in the desired state where your desire is already fulfilled.

it's kinda like that dino game when u have no internet. ur making ur score as high as u can. those cactuses thingys are bits of the old story and ur negative thoughts etc. but ur gonna jump over them by not wavering but being persistent in already being the person who has the desire. by fulfilling urself. whatever ur doing to do so, do it whether its repeating affirmations, etc. just do it and persist.

but yeah just play the game. the 3d don't play much of a role here. it's just some extra prize in the end of the game lmao.

once u keep playing this game, and become a pro at it, its gonna make an assumption and the assumption is persisted in. what happens when an assumption is persisted in? it hardens into fact !! so basically thats when it becomes more natural when you are now feeling fullfilled within and it cause the outside 3d to conform. and bam you got big lips without getting lip filler. congrats you beat the game 💞💞

so try this purely for fun, just for entertainment for whatever desire u wanna manifest and see what happens~

SIXTH PART LOL 😸😸😸

So now the reader and Mizu are so well Acquainted that soon they get married to each other but it was literally just a small wedding and when i say small I mean Mizu proposes and says some sappy stuff and Reader says something sappy as well and then they call it a day. (MIZU AND READER DESERVES A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING IMO).

Mizu is out doing whatever and reader is at home making dinner and BAM someone breaks in again (Girly needs better security honestly 🤨🤨) and she goes straight for the kill with her ninja stars and Kunais but the guy is really good at dodging them and goes like "all that training and you still can't throw properly" and shown to be her dad and she starts to fight him and asks why he's here and he says he's here to collect Mizu for her bounty and reader ain't letting that slide.

They start to fight and reader has the upper hand during the first part of the fight, but then her dad pulls a quick one and starts to talk about how her siblings are all dead and it's her fault and she starts to cry and gets pinned against the wall (Via neck btw) and Mizu comes home to seeing reader crying and pinned against the wall.

Readers dad comes for Mizu and an epic showdown happens and Mizu wins ofc but reader is left crying on the ground and cue a fluffy scene where Mizu kisses readers head and comforts her (via pulling her to a hug and into her lap while reader cries abt her siblings).

warning(s): blood, injury, swearing

a/n: damn reader is just getting SLAMMED. also yes, she very much needs better security 😭

summary: the ask summarizes it I’d say

word count: 977 words / 5,291 characters 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

the two of you were taking a walk, along the mountains, hands clasped together—like you'd never let go. little did you know… that was the plan.

mizu stopped in her tracks.

you paused, turning around to face her.

“uh, mizu? Is something wrong?”

no, nothing was wrong. 

she grabbed one of your hands again, rubbing her fingers over your knuckles. you continued to look at her, confused by her behavior. 

“we’ve been seeing each other for a while, now, (y/n),” she murmured, glancing up from your hands. “if this were.. traditional, we would be considered married.”

your eyes widened. was she really…

“I wanted to know, if we possibly.. could, be married.” she said rather bluntly, “I love you, (y/n), more than I have ever loved anyone. If you would accept my hand, in marriage, that would make me happier than I have ever been.”

you were close to tears, at this point. hearing her proclamation of love for you, it warmed your heart.

“yes,” you whispered. “yes—I love you, mizu, I really do. I’ve never loved someone so much,” you rest your forehead against hers. “but it isn’t like we can have a ceremony.”

she nods a little, holding your waist. “this is enough for me. we don’t need anything special… just to call you my wife is enough.”

you're humming softly, making you and your wife dinner. she was out, probably trying to collect information again—usually that came up with nothing—and you were waiting for her to return.

knock.

Knock.

KNOCK.

the beating got progressively louder, sitting off a red alert in your head. you grabbed your stars and kunai's, ready to protect yourself.

wasn’t the first time you had to do so..

as the man burst through the door; you couldn’t see his face. his face was concealed, and he was dressed in all black. you had no clue who he was; but he was going down.

you begin to toss your weapons at him, trying to either pin him or kill him, at worst. 

he laughs, a big bellowed laugh, dodging each and every one, “all that training and you still can’t throw properly, can you?”

you stop in your tracks as he tossed off his mask. your eyes widen, your eyes wide—they begin to sparkle with tears. a man you feared so very much; he'd shown up at your doorstep.

“what the fuck are you doing here?” you ask, your voice raspy with emotion.

“I am here to collect the onryō that resides here,” he takes a pace toward you. “I know you're hiding him, little flower. I am here to collect him for a bounty. where is he?”

your eyes narrowed to slits, “you mean my husband?” you grumble, “yeah, I don’t think so.”

he scoffs, “husband? i always knew you were a fucking idiot, but this? marrying an onyrō? I thought you were at least better than that, little flower.”

you launch yourself at him, knocking him off his feet. you tussle and tumble for a few moments, knocking over flowers and vases along the way.

“your siblings are gone, and it is all your goddamn fault. and now.. married to a demon?” he scoffed. you stopped. you were holding his collar, a kunai pointed at his throat. “they died. they're all fucking dead, because of you. after you ran away; they had no one to protect them.. their big sister abandoned them, and they died in your wake.”

you shook your head, your entire body shaking as you began  to cry.

“I-it isn’t my fault, y-you—“

“trying to pin this on your father? how pathetic,” he pushed you to wall, pushing a kunai through the skin of your throat.

you cried out in pain; pinned to the wall with a kunai through your neck—

“now where is the onryō?” he hissed.

“onryō? I’m right here.”

your eyes snap open as you hear mizu's voice, a small ensemble of relief washing over you.

“ah, there you are,” he released his grip from you, turning to face mizu. “prepare to die.”

“prepare to die?“ she scoffed, tossing off her overcoat, hat and glasses. “I’ve been prepared to die since the day I was born, do you seriously think I am scared of the idea?”

mizu reached for her katana, unsheathing the sword in one fell swoop. she narrowed her eyes, gazing at your father.

“I think it is you who should be prepared,” she hissed. “you were dead the minute you laid a hand on my wife.”

he lunged at mizu, his blade attempting to slice her waist, but she was too quick—she moved with speed and stealth, her moves unable to be accounted for.

he turned on his heels, yet another attempt to slide her in half—but to no avail. he missed once more, and this time, mizu grabbed her sword—sweeping past his waist in one precise, clean cut as she moved past him.

he stopped moving.

his body fell limp.

you watched the scene unfold; your father's body falling into two halves, blood gushing from both sides.

mizu turned to you in an instant, pulling the kunai from your neck. you cried out in pain, falling into her arms, sobbing.

she moves you to the floor, pulling you into her lap in a tight hug.

“It’s okay.. it’s okay,” she whispered, brushing her hand through your hair. “he's not something you have to worry about ever again.”

“I-it’s all my fault,” you whimper. “t-they’re all dead because of me, mizu.”

“no. no, don’t think like that, my love,” she hissed. “it isn’t your fault. It’s that monsters fault. and he’s dead; you can rest now.”

you nodded, burying your head in her neck.

she kissed the top of your head, pulling you into a tighter hug. she never wanted to let you be hurt ever again—

—and she wouldn’t.

parings: melissa schemmenti x reader

warnings for this chapter: melissa is a bully

-

you woke up with a jolt as the blanket was ripped off of you for the fifth time that night.

"oh my god, melissa" you groan, turning over, expecting to see her sleeping but shes wide awake on her side, with her head resting on her hand.

"you kept letting go of me and im tired of it." you chuckle slightly, trying to ignore your irritation. you pull her into you quickly, she yelps out. you lean in close.

"a simple ask would do you just fine, my love." you whisper against her lips.

"well, you know me, stubborn as always" she smiles and connects your lips, the domestic nature causing your heart to stutter, she pulls away slowly, her hand coming to your cheek. "I love you."

you and melissa weren’t always this way, it took a lot to get where you are now.

-

you were late your first day, traffic was stressing you out and you struggled to find parking spot in such a busy street, you had to park 5 minutes away. you were rushing into the school doors, through the hallway when-

BAM.

you slam right into the red headed teacher. her papers went flying and so did your ego. the look she gave you might as well killed you.

“i am so sorry-” she immediately drops to the floor, grabbing her stuff. you follow, trying to compensate for your clumsiness.

“why are you running through the doors anyways? if your kid is late then sign the damn tardy slip” angry radiating from her words.

“oh no- i don’t have a kid. i work here. i actually just got hired” her head swings over to look at you. you wish the earth would swallow you whole.

“30 minutes late on your first day” she scoffs. “great first impression, you’ll definitely get along with ava” she storms off, leaving me confused and flustered.

I walk down the hallways to the principals office, Ava is already leaning on the door frame, ready to great me.

"you're late." she says, sternly.

"I know, I'm so sorry, I couldn't find a parking spot so I parked super-"

"it was a joke, I don't care" she walks into her office. "pshhh no one told me I hired another Janine." she laughs, looking at the camera. the guy zooms in on my confused face. "anyways, you're in room 12, just down the hall, where you came in. your kids are currently with ms. schemmenti's class, room 13, you're taking her third graders also. if you talk to Melissa, she'll sort out who's who's." Ava's already on tiktok, laughing about a video before I can respond.

its going to be a long day.

-

I look up at the sign on the door that says room 13, I take a deep breath before opening the door, knocking as I do so. All of the attention is on me as the room goes quite. I look around the room, only seeing the students.

"hey kids! I'm the new third grade teacher that's going to be next door." they all shout hi in return. "where's your teacher?" I ask as the door opens again.

"oh god, not you again." I spin around, seeing the same redhead from earlier.

"uh- hi, im y/n y/ln. the teacher next door" I say, holding my hand out waiting for hers. she looks down at my hand and then back up at me, before rolling her eyes.

"alright guys! this is ms. y/ln, she will be taking half of you's with her, so if you're in third grade, please line up at the door, single file!" the students jump up, lining up in an almost perfect line.

"thank you, ms. schemmenti, if you need anything, ill be just over there." I say as I point towards the wall. she doesn't even look at me so I take it as a hint to leave.

-

three months later

“i’m tired of the new kid, she waltzes in here, all miss clumsy but charming, takes over the kids hearts and everyone loves her” melissa vents to barbra

“remind me again, are you trying to offend or compliment her? she’s been doing everything right, she’s the teacher we’ve been wanting to work here, what do you hate so much about her?” melissa stands up, pacing the 2nd grade class.

“she’s a newbie, and newbies make mistakes that we can’t afford” barbra shakes her head, not believing melissa.

“that’s not the real reason” the bell rings “talk to me when you find out the reason, until then, be nice to the kid” melissa huffs as she sits back down, watching barbra walk out and her kids march in.

(๑•̀д•́๑) " 𝘼𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙙𝙤 "

Included: Kaeya, Diluc, Albedo, Zhongli, Raiden Ei, gn! Reader

CW: Mentions of drinking.

A/n: Stan twice for better life (stream set me free on Spotify!) Possibly ooc, not proofread

Kaeya:

▶ You know when the bartender serves your drinks? And when you go and get your drink he'll snatch it before you can before giving it to you. I don't know why but I just feel like he'll do this to tease you lol, he doesn't do it often though.

▶ It's really frustrating because it's like when you're about to eat something but your siblings get to it before you. Kaeya finds it funny how your face turns when he does it.

▶ Like imagine you're so excited to get your drink but then BAM snatched.

▶ At first you'd be a tad bit confused because he didn't say anything about it so you'd just kind of ask him why after a while.

▶ When you ask Kaeya about it he'll just laugh it off and say he's just simply teasing you.

"Okay here are your drinks, hope you guys enjoy it" the bartender says while they put down your and kaeya's drink "Thank you " Kaeya says in thanks to the bartender, you went to get your drink but kaeya got it before you, you looked at him in confusion as to what he's doing "Why'd you get my drink?" You ask while he just chuckled and put it back on the table. After a while you've slowly grown used to this particular habit of his.

Diluc:

▶ Diluc has this habit where he would pop out of nowhere behind you and suddenly touch you without saying a word before greeting you hello.

▶ It's kinda creepy too because you don't really know when he arrived behind you because of his quiet ass.

▶ AND AND he would just smile at you innocently as if he didn't just pop out of nowhere and scare you.

▶ Diluc doesn't really get why you get startled because he thought you always knew he was coming right up behind you.

▶ Now this can be real annoying especially if you get startled or scared easily lol.

▶ If you ever tell Diluc about it, he'll try his best to make his presence known less scary.

Since Adelinde was on a day off you were cleaning the dishes after you and Diluc had dinner, after he ate, he excused himself as he had documents to sign so obviously you thought that he was upstairs. Well, you were kinda right but he decided to do them later and came back down to see you washing the dishes, you didn't notice him coming up behind you as you continued to sway your hips while singing. He suddenly puts his hands on your waist causing you to jump and look behind you quickly.

"What do you want to do tonight?"

He asks, you look at him with sightly wide eyes before returning your attention back to washing the dishes.

Albedo:

▶ I will be doing this in modern au because why not.

▶ Albedo has a habit of pointing out your spelling/mistakes in chats.

▶ He would correct them too.

▶ Like it would just be a tiny typo then he's be saying "you spelt ___ wrong"

▶ I love albedo but PLEASE, he's sometimes so logical at times it isn't funny any more.

▶ He will literally notice the slightest mistakes in your grammar. Like you didn't put the comma in the right place? He'll notice.

☑ [name]: Hey 'bedo you coming later?

☑ Albedo: You forgot to add a comma.

▶ Leave them grammar mistakes alone.

☑ [name]: Did you knoo about the homework yesterday?

☑ Albedo: *know. Yes I did, thanks for reminding me.

☑ [name]: okay, it's due tomorrow

Zhongli:

▶ Zhongli's annoying habit is that he sometimes speaks in deep words and would often not say what it means (this is me fr in my native language, I never understood deep words T-T)

▶ You'd be having a normal conversation with him and then he'll say something like 'Mellifluous' and then if you ask him he'll just look at you for a second then go back to what he was talking about.

▶ But if he's feeling generous he'll actually say what it means.

▶ Mellifluous is a word to describe someone's voice as sweet-sounding or musical lol.

▶ These stuff usually happens when he's telling a story that happened when he was still an archon or whenever he's talking about stuff like flowers, history, etc..

▶ It also happens often at tea time! Since that's where he mostly tell his stories and experiences.

▶ While you kinda found it confusing, it was also kinda attractive since he speaks so proper and formal.

"Guizhong is a kind girl, her voice was mellifluous and smooth. It's pleasant to hear" He said as he talked about his old friend Guizhong. "Wait, what's mellifluous?" You ask, not knowing what the word means "Ah.." He just said before looking down at his tea then continues to talk about Guizhong, about how she was when she was still alive. You sat there in confusion.

After a while he finally says what it means "Mellifluous means that someone's voice sounds sweet or pleasant to the ear"

Raiden Ei:

▶ I THINK we know what she does.

▶ Raiden would sometimes steal your mochi/sweets when you aren't looking.

▶ Like for example you got distracted by something, either by a person talking to you or when she purposely distracts you by saying things like "[name] look! There's a cute cat over there"

▶ She'll make sure you're fully distracted before getting a piece and stuffing it in her mouth lol.

▶ Sometimes you can tell she ate a piece because of the residue on the sides of her mouth lol.

▶ If you ever notice a piece is missing and you ask her about it she'll just deny it and say that you already ate it (gaslighting at its fullest)

▶ She'll just look at you confused as if she didn't just sneak a snack into her mouth when you ask her about it 😒.

▶ You can tell she ate it though, but we don't talk about that, you don't have the heart to tell her.

You were munching on some cookies while also giving bites to Ei because you know how much she loves sweet stuff "[name] look is that yae?" Ei says while pointing her finger at something in order to distract you "hm?" You acknowledged as you turned around where her finger was facing, while you were trying to see where Yae is Ei took a cookie or two from the container it was in and quickly ate it "hmm.. I don't see her" You say, not being able to see the pink haired girl. You turn back to your cookies and there was only one left "huh, I swear there were two cookies left" You said while you searched the table, you then turned to Ei and asked "Ei have you-" You cut your self off as Ei looked at you with an innocent face while you notice the crumbs on the corners of her mouth that wasn't there before.

I have to be dreaming (Chapter 3)

Series masterlist~~AO3~~regular masterlist

---

"Three hours Luffy!"

Luffy had three hours to get to Mock town and back, else the ship leaves without him. He huffed as he ran his damn hardest, weaving between trees, jumping over stone, his mind being brought to Cricket, and him apologizing.

He apologized. Apologized for not being able to stop Bellamy and his pirates. Like it was his fault, not the idiot who dared to mess with him and his friend.

He ran, ran until his legs hurt, until his breathing became heavy, until his vision narrowed and all he could see was him beating that dirty creep.

---

"Those monkeys were so funny! Bloody faces and snot streaming from their noses!" Two men clink their drinks together, reminiscing on their attack on Cricket. "Crying "Boss! Boss!"" He mocked with laugh.

"If he was so precious, they should've protected him better." Sarquiss laughs, taking a sip of beer.

The door slabs open with a bam, "Bad news!!" A tall man rips open the door with, huffing and puffing from running. "You gotta hide quick, you're in danger!! They'll kill you!!" He yells to Bellamy, sweating.

Bellamy turns around slowly, snarling at the words. "What are you talking about?" He growls, his voice low. The man searches in his pocket, looking for something, eventually pulling out two wanted posters, Luffy's and Zoro's.

Zoro's bounty being 60 million.

Luffy's bounty being 100 million.

The men gape slack jawed, "A hundred million?" One gasps.

The man hands shakes as he grips tighter on the paper. "Those guys from today are worth more than you are Bellamy!!"

Some man in the back scoffs, "I've never met anybody worth hundred million berries." He waves away, nearly choking on his beer when Bellamy starts manically laughing.

"Haven't you heard of pirates like that? Printing up fake wanted posters about himself to impress fools like you?" He explains though gritted teeth, gripping the bar in front of him as his knuckles turn white. "Idiots take one look at the bounty and back down. They get scared and give up without a fight, even though they could win!"

He roughly turns around, nearly spitting in anger as he speaks. "Just like you guys right now! You've seen how puny he is but looking at you! Fucking disgusting!"

The men in the bar look petrified, shaking in their seats at the ferocity of the man. Bellamy's chest heaves up and down, his face hot and steaming with rage.

"Bellamy! Where are you!" The men in the bar tear their gaze from Bellamy, flinching at the sound of Luffy's voice.

"Who wants to know?" Bellamy knew who it was, but wanted to tease him a bit, smirking as he spoke. He walks outside, Luffy high atop a tall building.

"Heh, we were just talking about you." Bellamy says.

Luffy ignores him, "Gimme the gold you took from the diamond-head man."

Bellamy's large coat blows in the wind as he playfully tilts his head. "Gold?! You mean old man Cricket's?" Using his Devil Fruit power, Bellamy's legs turned into springs, him jumping up, coming face to face with Luffy.

"Why should I return it, that's loot I took as a pirate." He saw with a loud tump as he lands. "You may be a pirate, but you're in no position to make demands."

"Sure I am." Luffy responded, tightening his fists. "Those are my friends, and I'm taking their gold back."

At this point, the people from the bar have funneled out of the bar, into the street and are spectating the fight. "Ha! Ha! Ha! Can you even fight?! Do you even know how to throw a punch?! What can a coward like you do to me?!" Bellamy screams, getting closer and closer to Luffy as the wind blows.

"If you stand there shaking like you did earlier today, you won't be taking anything back from me, coward!" His voice is animalistic, howling every world as he attempts to edge Luffy on.

Luffy's hair blows in the wind, his stare emotionless, "That was different."

Bellamy lets out a loud, bellowing mouth, "Ha! Ha! Oh? So, what's changed?!" Bellamy propels himself up, his coat falling off him as he flips in the air. "I'll teach a lesson you won't live to forget!"

The jump causes the roof of the building to break off as he jumps onto the side off another. "It'll only take a second!!" Jumping back towards a stumbling Luffy, pulling back his arm as he winds up a punch. Dodging the punch, Luffy falls back down to the street, landing on his feet quickly as Bellamy chuckles.

Bellmay's movements were rapid, him appearing invisible. The others on the street panicked, moving away as Luffy stands still. Laughing echos around him and Bellamy flings himself from building to building. "Come to think of it, you're a lot like that old man and those monkeys. You believe the lies of his ancestor. What city of gold, what sky island. the age of dreaming is over!!" Bellamy declares as he whips around.

Luffy doesn't care and looks visibly bored. "You wanna see me land a punch?" Luffy asks the people standing behind him, ignoring their laughter.

"Get 'im, Bellamy! That fool doesn't deserve to live!" Sarquiss yells, watching as Bellamy winds up a jump towards Luffy.

Luffy cracks his fingers, extents an arm, and as Bellamy charges towards him, punches him directly in the face. Blood splatters from his mouth, the wooden floor underneath him peeling and cracking, the wind still blowing.

Blood plips from Luffy's knuckles, the group watching him dumbfounded as they stare at a blacked-out Bellamy. Luffy adjusts him hat a bit, it being shifted from the wind.

Sarquiss stands still, breathing deep in disbelief. "You're joking, right? Bellamy!? Don't kid around, say something?!" There's only silence, the wind blowing harshly, a paper landing right on his face.

'Wanted, dead or alive: Monkey D. Luffy. 100 million berries.'

"I want the old man's gold! Give it to me now!"

---

"Why didn't anyone go with him?" You ask to the air, Zoro carrying around a pile of plywood. He groans, "He wanted to go on his own, there's nothing we could do."

Sanji pats you on the back as you hammer away, "Don't worry (Y/N), he can handle himself.' You sigh, hammering harder in frustration.

"Ugh, he's taking forever, where is he?!" Nami complains, staring at the coastline. She wipes her forehead, sweating from both nerves and the heat.

"I don't really think he's concerned with the time." Usopp mumbles, Nami groaning, kicking some grass. She gazes at the ground, looking back up when she hears the thumping of someone running.

"Hey!!" You jump up, hearing Luffy, seeing his with a bag filled to the brim.

"Hurry Luffy!!! We have to set sail!!" Nami cups her hand around her mouth, screaming towards him. He gets closer as he ships, he gasps at its new look.

"Wow!! That's awesome, it's the Going Merry flying version!!!" His eyes sparkle, before turning around and placing the bag in front of cricket.

"Thanks for fixing the ship!" Luffy smiles, Cricket's expression remaining in a frown.

"Get aboard, there's no time." Luffy nods, running towards the ship. He extends his arm, grabbing onto the railing and flipping onto the deck.

"Boy! This is where we say goodbye! No one has every proved that Skypiea doesn't exist. People may laugh and say they're silly legends. Well, let them laugh." Cricket extends his arms, belting out in exuberance. "That's what makes it a great adventure!!"

Luffy grins, giving him a deep nod, waving goodbye as the Going Merry sails away.

You smile, maybe this isn't too bad.

---

"Hey Chopper, have you seen that blanket you gave me? Y'know, the blue one with the ruffles?" You look down, him already peering up at you. He tilts his head, thinking for a second before shaking it no.

"I haven't seen it, no." He responds.

You sigh, looking down at him guiltily. "Sorry, I must've left it back on the island."

Chopper smiles comfortingly. "Don't worry, we can always get you a new blanket."

You huff, not really the point but it works. You pat him on the head, his ears twitching a bit as you go back to leaning on the railing. "We got to get into position before the knock up stream blows." Masira explains from his ship. You listen as Luffy plays with the south bird like a toy, moving the head side to side, watching as it turns back to its original position.

"Look, (Y/N), look, it really does only face south!" You chuckle along with him, Luffy nearly keeling over in laughter.

Joh! Joh! Joh!~

"What'd it say Chopper?" Usopp asks.

"It said, "I'm facing the wrong direction just to mess you up." For some reason, that makes Luffy laugh even more. For a second, the bird turns north, growing very uncomfortable, before turning back south, the three laughing up a storm as you watch from the side, amused.

"Boss!" One of Masira's men called. "Bad news!!" Masira moves to the side of his ship, staring intensely out at the ocean. "To the southwest!! "Night" is coming!! It's the emperor cloud!!"

"This is bad! Can we make it, Shoujou?!" Masira yells, Shoujou deploying his men.

Nami rushes down to the main deck, snapping at Luffy and the others for goofy off. "The emperor cloud showed up early! We haven't even located the knock up stream yet!" She screams, everyone rushing around trying to get the ship ready to move.

The ship starts to sway, holding onto the railing in order not to fall. Masira yells towards the Marry, "That's a sigh of the knock up stream!! Head for that whirlpool!'

The waves only grow larger and larger, water falling onto the deck causing you to slip. "Navigator! What about the log pose?" You can make out Robin yelling over the sound of waves crashing.

Nami regains her senses, attempting to stand up straight. She looks down at the log pose, "It's pointing straight up at that cloud!!"

"Looks like we've hit the mark, brother." Masira yells to Luffy.

"It's all up to the current now!!" Shoujou bellows.

"We'll tow you to the whirlpool!!" Masira leans down, looking at Nami, her gaping at the gigantic whirlpool right in front of you. Your heart drops as you're pulled closer and closer to the center by Masira's ship.

"Alright guys! You're on your own from here! Good luck!!" Masira yells, sailing away with Shoujou. Luffy waved them away, smiling as you slipped trying to stand. Nami and Usopp freak out, crying as your all-sucked further in, hovering over the center.

"When you're finished whining, check this out." Zoro points as he helps you stand, holding you in place.

"We're going to be swallowed up!" Usopp yells as he crouches down and covers his head. You close your eyes, anticipating the worst, but instead you slat peacefully on the ground.

"What happened?" You question, opening your eyes back up and peering at the peaceful waters. It was serene, minus a few sounds of bubbling.

"Hey Zoro, look." He finally let's go of you, looking over at a grew of pirates on what looks to be a rath, one of which, was the man Luffy was arguing with before his confrontation with Bellamy.

"They're from Mock town." Nami said, Sanji scowling at the sight.

"We're gonna take that hundred million-berry head of yours!!" He booms, mouth wide.

"Did you say my heads worth a hundred million berries, really!?" Luffy asks back, jumping in excitement.

"There's a bounty of a hundred million on your head and, pirate hunter Zoro, you're worth sixty million." The man holds up two posters, laughing loudly.

Usopp pulls out binoculars to check, "It's true." He looks at Zoro for second, "You're a wanted man, Zoro!! Wait...why isn't there on of me?" He mumbles at the end.

"Your bounties must've skyrocketed after the Alabasta incident." Nami suggested, Luffy still to hyped up to listen.

"Hey, all you, pay attention!" You hear the faint yelling of Masira, feeling a rumbling beneath you as he speaks. The seas bubbles and bubble, waves lightly rippling as the bubble underneath you grows and grows.

"Whoa..." Luffy whispers, wet from the water splashing into the ship. A second passes, before booming the ship upward, you and the strawhats screaming as your pushed high up into the sky. Barrels and ropes fall sideways as the ship ascends, you awkwardly dodging them before you fall, now sitting on what was once the wall.

"Hey! What's happening?!" You hear someone say, unable to see because you closed your eyes as your stomach lurches in fear. You huddle into yourself as you wait it all out.

Luffy bounces all over the ship. "Come on (Y/N), this is fun." You shake your head, feeling like you were going to throw up as you were lurched father up into the air.

"This is not what I signed up for!!" You yelled over the wind. Luffy laughed, cheering on the Going Merry as he grabbed onto your shoulders. He watched as it reached further into the sky, ignoring your clear discomfort.

"Wait a minute?" You looked over at Sanji, posture stiffening under the hands of Luffy. "I think we're forgetting something.'" He says, looking down below the Merry with gritted teeth.

"What's wrong?" Luffy shifted his gaze from the sky to Sanji, wind rushing past his hair as he gripped harder on to your shoulders.

"The ship's beginning to float!! If we tilt back, we'll fall!!" He screams, Chopper and Usopp crying in unison. You try to stand and head toward Sanji, but are kept down by Luffy, who is still staring at the panicked book.

You huff, "It's a little late to think of that!" You shout, the rest of the crew becoming just as worried. Usopp and Chopper resort to continue crying, Sanji not being able to rip his eyes away from sea below him, and Zoro looks just as confused as always.

"It's all over for us! We're gonna fall!!" You hear Usopp say, tears and snot running down his face. Chopper runs over and attaches himself to Usopp's leg as the cower together.

"Hoist the sail! Now!!" Nami yells at Zoro, how gives her a stupid look.

"This isn't just a wall of water! It's the ocean! We can sail on it the way we would any current!" Nami explains, pointing towards the stream. "The heat from the stream and the explosion have created as blast of warm air!!" Everyone looked very confused at the explanation, including you as you gawk at her words.

"All right guys! Do what Nami say!" Luffy yells directing people around the ship, flinging himself to the mast and standing on top of it.

Everyone runs around, pulling ropes and hoisting the sail, as you sit and watch, unknowing what to do. You shiver from the water covering you, feeling yourself fall back onto the wall as the ship falls back.

"The ships leaving the water!" Chopper screams, Nami nodding as they all continue to hoist the sail.

You wait with batted breath as you expect to fall out of the boat and too your death, before wings springing out of Merry, leaving the knock up stream and continuing higher and higher.

"We're flying." Luffy cries, cheering as he jumps in excitement.

"Nami, You're amazing!!!" Sanji swoons, as she takes a deep breath of relief.

You're finally able to stand, joining the rest of the crew as you stare up into the clouds. "Can we really make it?" You whisper, Luffy nodding as he crossed his arms, following your gaze.

---

"Nami, are we there yet?!" Luffy leans onto your shoulder, groaning in pure boredom. While the hardest part was over, there was still some ways to go before reaching the sky island.

Nami opens her mouth to respond, before she's interrupted by a cloud hitting all your faces. It's difficult to breath for a few seconds, the cloud enveloping you from all sides until you're finally free. You gasp, hand to your chest as you try and catch your breath.

"What just happened?" Zoro asks, out of breath and laying on the floor. He looks around, eyeing Luffy leaning of the ship as he gazes at the sight ahead of him.

"Look! Look!" He points, "Look where we are!" Cloud expands miles ahead of you, everyone crowding around the railing, dumbstruck at the beautiful visage. It looked like you were in some renaissance painting, the light hitting the clouds and creating beautiful colors.

"We're sailing on clouds!" Nami gasps.

Luffy turns towards her with a small frown. "Of course, we're sailing on clouds."

"You can't sail on clouds!!" Nam yelled at him, noticing her log pose as she waves her arms arounds. "Look! The log pose is still pointing up." Nami points, Robin sitting down in front of her on the railing.

"This must be the middle level of the emperor cloud." She pointed out, Chopper jumping up next to her and nodding. You tilt you head, confused.

"How can we go any higher?" You ask, Robin sighing with a shrug. You wonder what could be above the clouds, what could be higher than you are now.

"First course of action! Captain Usopp will go for a swim!" You look at Usopp, who is flexing in front of Luffy as he cheers his on. Chopper stumbles forward, taking a seat next to Luffy as Usopp falls into the sky ocean.

You watch as he dives down, waiting for him to come back up. A minute passes, then another, then another, and you take a gulp.

"He's not coming back up..." You speak. You look back at the crew, nervous. "Does this ocean even have a bottom?" They gawk.

Sanji rushes up, growling as he watches the ocean. "I warned you fools!!" He growls, gripping onto the railing as Luffy stretches his arms into the clouds, searching for Usopp.

"What if he fell through the clouds?!" You cry, Luffy extending his arm longer and longer. He becomes more nervous as he's unable to find the missing crew member.

"I can't see though the clouds!!" Luffy shrieks, now leaning off the railing.

"Leave that to me." Robin says as she crosses her arms. "Ojos Fleur." Small eyeballs travel down Luffy's arms, Robin's eyes closed in concentration.

"I see him!" She smiles. "Seis Fleurs!!" You can't see what's going on, but her smile makes you feel a bit better, especially as Luffy's arm is stretched back upwards, him grunting as he pulls harder and harder.

Usopp if pulled out of the clouds with a loud umph from Luffy. "You did it!" Nami smiles while Luffy's arm retracts to a normal length. He giggles, before the ground begins to shake, tentacles break out from the ocean, cover the Merry in darkness as Nami screams. On the opposite side, a large mouth bites the Merry, a cracking sound piercing through the sound of screaming.

"That's not Usopp!!" You shriek, Zoro scoffing at your fear. He leaps up on the railing, propelling himself off it to shred the appendage to pieces, Sanji following as he kicks the large monster, it's jaw cracking as it lays still.

The tentacle monster falls back into the ocean with a splash, Zoro staring at you huffing. He clicks his sword back into the hilt, smirking towards you and your terrified appearance. "Scaredy cat." He ruffles you hair, laughing when you grow upset.

"What do you expect!?" He doesn't answer, looking over to Sanji, whose standing over the eel like monsters jaw.

"Hmph. What a strange beast, not sure it's even a fish." Sanji takes a drag of his cigarette, which you're surprised even stayed in his mouth.

"That octopus was like a balloon." Zoro says as the monster slowly sinks into the ocean.

"But it was moving around, it had to be a living thing." Nami said, waving her arounds around.

"Creatures must live among these clouds." You assume, shrugging while crossing your arms.

"I guess it's better to think of this as a sea." Robin says. She turns her attention towards the monster Sanji is closest too, growing confused. "What's that flat snake anyway?"

"It must be a flounder." Sanji says, moving away from the monster and back on the main deck.

"The fish here must've had to evolve to survive in the sky." Robin explains. "So, they balloon-like or flat."

You nod, watching as Luffy tries to get Sanji to cook the large fish, your attention slowly being drawn over to Chopper, whose been quiet for a while. He's sitting on the railing of the ship near the bow, shaking while gazing out binoculars. "What's wrong Chopper?" You ask, slowly moving up behind him. He doesn't answer, continuing to shake with wide eyes.

"...I-It's-" He eventually mumbles out, dropping the binoculars on the floor. He turns towards you, jumping in your arms while crying. You look concerned as he wails. "Th-there was a ship, but it's gone now!!" You awkwardly pat hi on the back, unaware what to do.

"What's gotten into you?" Sanji asks, following where he was previously looking, eyes widening at the sight. "Something coming!!" He yells, you turning to look. Just like he said, someone or something was charging towards the ship. You back away behind Sanji, Chopper clinging onto you harder as the person gets closer, his wails becoming louder.

"Stop! What do you want?!" The masked person jumps onto the boat with a woosh, their voice low and predatory.

"I'm going to get rid of you." They utter, Sanji instantly taking a defensive stance. Zoro and Luffy join him, instantly being overpowered by the stranger's capabilities, each falling to the floor.

"You wimps!! There are three of you and only one of him!!!" Nami scolds, the three struggling to stand. The masked man flips off the boat, taking out the gun behind his back and aiming it at the ship. You watch with wide eyes as another man, this one faster and more agile. He swifty pull out a sword, charging at the mask man who blocks with a shield, the impact calling him to descend into the ocean.

"He's gone." The man's voice was old and gravelly, staring at you all through his knight's helmet. Next to him was a large bird covered in poka dots. Nami's annoyed gaze travels between the man and the tree boys laying on the ground in exhaustion.

"Who was that?" She asks when looking at the man, her gaze turning sour as she looks at the boys. "And you guys are pathetic!!" They huffed, Sanji and Zoro sitting up cross-legged while Luffy laid with his arms extended outward.

Chopper jumps out of your arms, bowing towards the armored man, "Thank you for saving us." The man barely acknowledges Chopper.

"I had no choice; it was my duty." Sanji was still out of breath, his breathing labored and low.

"How could I lose like that." He questions to himself, sweating.

"That's probably because the air's so thin." Robin responded.

The man turns and looks at Robin at her words, "Are you Blue Sea people?" He asks, Nami nodding.

"Who are you again?" The man falters for a bit, before being ridged once again.

"I am the sky knight." He looks towards Luffy. "Blue Sea people live below the clouds on the Great Blue Sea. Most Blue Sea people can't tolerate these altitudes." Luffy shoots up, hitting himself on the chest.

"Okay! I'm starting to get used to it." He hits his chest a few more times, still huffing. You shake your head in embarrassment, the armored man waving his strange actions away.

Chopper looks up towards the man, furrowing is brows, "Who was the man that attacked us?" He asked. The man looked down, shaking his head. "Those unfamiliar with sky fighting are targeted by the guerrillas and become food for the sky fish."

His look hardens, "But I can save you from them. One whistle for five million extols." The crew is silent, before all tilting their heads in unison.

"What are you talking about old man?" He stumbles, nearly falling down in shock.

"Don't be stingy! That's an incredible bargain! I won't go one Extol lower! I have to make a living!" You scoff, confused.

"What's an 'extol?'" The man stares wide eyed.

"Didn't you people come by way of the peak of high west? Then you must've got here by island hopping." The man questioned, everyone becoming even more confused.

"I don't know what you're talking about, old man." Luffy replied, staring back at the man. Nami pushed past Luffy, pointing a finger at the man.

"You mean there's another way to get up here?" She asks, "And Island hopping? Is there more than one island in the sky?" The looks at her bewildered, nearly letting out a laugh.

"Don't tell me you rose that sea current!" He chuckles. "So, people with such courage still exist, eh?" Nami covers her mouth sobbing.

"So, we didn't have to ride the current." She laments, rushing over to Luffy and shaking him fervently. "We were almost killed!! We should've gotten more information!!" She cries as Luffy breaks away, pushing her back.

"The other routes are different, but they all have their perils." The old man says, explaining. "There aren't many who'd take that risk, especially these days."

The old man sighs, taking something from around his neck and throwing it on the ground. It was a whistle, it clinking to the ground quickly. "Here's one whistle. Blow it once and I will come down from the heavens to save you." he announces. He smiles, him and his steed walking towards the railing. "Take it as a gift of your courage."

"Wait" You didn't tell us your name!" Nami shouts, the man standing tall, his stead cawing.

"I am Gan Fall, the Sky Knight." He booms. "And this is Pierre, my partner." Pierre caws as Gan Fall hops on top of him. "Pierre is a bird." He says, Pierre transforming slowly. His claws becoming hooves and his body elongating. "With the power of the horse-horse fruit, he can transform into a winged horse." You gasp, the bird growing wings and hovering in the air.

Nami clasps her hands together, he eyes twinkling. "He's like a Pegasus." Gan Fall smiles, flying away as he wishes the crew a good luck.

"What a strange creature." You laugh, waving him away. "So we're...right where we started..." you sighed.

"How do we get higher up?" Luffy asks aloud, picking up the whistle from the floor and inspecting it. "Let's call the old man and ask him." Nami smacks him on the back on his head before he's able to put it in his mouth.

"Luffy, No!! Save that for an emergency!!" Luffy rubs the back of his head, groaning as he sticks his tongue out at her. He moves over towards you, leaning his head on the railing of the ship.

"Let's just sail somewhere else." Zoro suggests, Luffy only groaning dramatically like a sad child.

"Hey, look over there!" Chopper jumps up net to Luffy, who directs his gaze towards where Chopper is pointing. It was a waterfall, or what a sky version of a waterfall was anyway.

Robin stands next to Chopper, "Is it some kind of cloud?" She questions. Luffy brightens up at the sight, pointing to the waterfall. "Alright, it's decided. We'll sail toward it!" He declares.

"There's a huge cloud in our way." You point out, Luffy smiling as he backs up winding up his arm and extending it forward. You yelp as duck to avoid his fist.

"Hey! Careful Luffy!" Sanji pulls you away from the boy, whose pouting at the sight of the still present cloud.

"Hyh! My fist bounced off." He looked at his fist, puzzled. He stares for a moment longer, before gasping in surprise. Luffy grips the railing and flings himself off the ship, jumping on top the cloud like a trampoline. "Look, I'm not falling though!!" He laughs.

"Wow!!" Chopper joins, Usopp following suit and jumping onto the cloud. You giggle as they jump together on the cloud. It was heartwarming, they felt like friends, like they belonged.

"It looks like fun." You feel Robin put her arm on your back. "You should join them." She smiles, giggling as you shake your head, backing away.

"I don't want to ruin their fun." She doesn't say anything, but her smiles stays as she looks back to the three bouncing.

"Ahh...It feels so good! It's nice and warm. I could fall asleep." Luffy rubs his head into the cloud, sighing blissfully. You move back towards the mast, sitting down and reclining as the peaceful wind blows through the air.

"Hey! Go to the top and see if there's a way for the ship to get though!!" Nami yells to the three, Luffy standing up and nodding, Usopp following him.

"Luffy's there's something over that way!" Usopp point, Nami huffing in annoyance.

"A gate?" You hear Luffy ask.

"Yeah, at the bottom of the waterfall!" Usopp confirms.

The three get back onto the ship, Luffy guiding Nami towards the gate, very, very poorly. It took a while, and a lot of yelling, before the Merry was let in front of a large, sun like gate. 'Heaven's Gate.' It read.

"Does this mean we're in heaven?" Usopp shivers. You pull on his ear lightly.

"Don't say stuff like that." You murmur, the ship sailing forward closer to the gate. Luffy giggle a bit more, snorting at you annoyed expression as you enter the arch. You watch as the Merry is shrouded in darkness, spying a door right near the entrance.

"Look, someone there!" Luffy points at an old looking woman taking pictures on the ship with a camera. You silently watch as she continues to take picture after picture.

"Are you tourists, or have you come to cause trouble?" The old woman groans. As you get closer, able to see wings on her back, strange, but not the weirdest thing you've seen. "It doesn't really matter. If you want to go to the upper stratum, you'll have to pay the entrance fee of one billion Extols per person. That's the law."

There's a collective gasp at the world one billion, Nami nervously sweating. "Uh...what if we don't have any money?" Her voice wavers slightly as the old woman waves her off.

"You can pass." She says, turning back towards the door, "But that choice is entirely your own. I'm neither a gatekeeper nor a guardian." She grumbles.

"Okay? But how do we get up?" Luffy calls, the old lady looking at him through hooded eyes. You wait for a response as you feel the ground shake. You steady yourself, watching as too claws grip the side of the Merry. You hear the screams from the crew, equality as confused on what's happening.

"What just grabbed on the ship?!" Zoro was surprisingly relaxed, his brows only slightly furrowed in as she glared as the old lady.

"The famous lobster express of the White Sea." She declares. You all are lurched forward as the lobster speeds up the waterfall, spinning and turning into the heavens.

"Amazon, inspector of Heaven's Gate reporting to the omnipotent Vassals. Seven people have illegally entered Skypiea. Render heavenly judgment." The old lady smirks as she watches you travel higher and higher until you disappear into the sky.

---

The waterfall began to wind as you got higher, the intense whooshing of the wind blowing your backwards as you try to stand. "There's no way this is natural!" You scream, a hold in the clouds above you coming into view.

"It's the exit!" Usopp says as he notices it. You grab harder onto the railing you were holding on, shaking your head.

"It's not an exit! It's an entrance!" You say as you notice a sign. 'Godland Skypiea' it said, quickly passing by as your shot out, falling back onto another white ocean, finally entering Skypiea.

You quickly spot a town, Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp running onto land before even lower in the anchor.

"What about the anchor!? There's no bottom to this ocean." Zoro asks, watching Luffy run around the beach.

"Never mind that, check this out. Even the beach feels fluffy!" He sighs, relaxing into the cloud like sand as Zoro sighs at the idiot captain. Regardless, he takes the anchor and drops it off the side of the ship.

"It's like a dream." You chimed in, Sanji smiling at you as he rolls up his pants.

"Yeah, but look at them, they're so excited." He laughs, jumping into the clouds. "They're hopeless." Zoro rolls his eyes, watching as you giggle at Sanji's excitement. He feels his jaw clench at your smile, choosing to distract himself rather than watch you giggle over the dumb cook.

Joh! Joh! Joh!

"OW! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Nami belts out, Zoro ripping his attention from you and towards the girl.

"Geez, I forgot to set it free." Nami huff, gripping her aching head. She notices Zoro out of the corner of her eye, "You drop the anchor?" She asks, posture calming as he nods.

"So, this is Skypiea." Robin moves towards you, catching your attention. You look away from the ocean and back towards the deck. Both Robin and Nami have changed into something more fitting for the setting, Robin in a loose tank while Nami sported a bikini top.

Nami smiles, looking down at Robin and you from her higher spot on the ship. "Yeah, and that's the name on the map Luffy found." She shows Robin. "Honestly, I didn't even believe it actually would exist." Nami rolls the map back up and stuffs it in her pocket, jumping out of the ship, giddy at the comforting feeling.

"But here we are! It's real!" She cried. Robin moved away from you and walking higher up, eyeing Zoro with her hands behind her back.

"What about you?" She asks him as he leans against the railing.

"I'm going ashore too." He confirms before sparing a quick glace towards you. Realistically, you could stay on the ship, it was probably the safest, and you didn't really look like you wanted to leave. The last island you were on, you watched him and Luffy get beat up by some idiot and he did nothing about it, so he understands you apprehension.

"So, sailing the seas and exploring new islands, is your idea of adventure? I never thought about it that way." His attention is again torn away from you, and Zoro is starting to become annoyed. He doesn't answer before jumping into the clouds.

Robin watches, turning to you when's he's out of her sight. "And you?" She asks as you jump in surprise. "You should come along." She says, and it sounded more like a demand then a suggestion.

"I think I'm go-"

"(Y/N)! Robin!! Come on!!" You're interrupted by Luffy waving towards you. You sigh, rolling your eyes as you move up towards Robin. You anxiously take a look below you, Robin holding out her hand to you.

"We can go in together." She offers, you thinking for a moment before slowly taking her hand. The two of you jump into the ocean of clouds, Robin surprisingly missing the warmth of your hand as you rush towards the beach.

The energy on the beach was chaotic, Luffy hanging off a tree while Usopp yells towards him and as Chopper plays in the sand. Nami stretches, warming herself in the sun. "We can finally relax; it's been so long since I went to the beach." She sings. You laugh, taking a seat next to Chopper and giggling as he rolls in the sand.

"Hey, Nami! Flower." Sanji crouches near a bush filled with floor as Luffy and the others goof around. She ignores his swooning, pointing at a pavilion touched away to the side.

"Chopper, look. What's that?" Chopper turns, gasping at the sight.

"It looks like a pavilion." He runs towards it, Nami following him as he sinks into the chair. You, now alone, watch the clouds pull into the beach like a tide, feeling a small shuffling near your legs.

"Huh. A fox?" You pet its head, it nuzzling into your hand as you do so. Luffy watches from his spot in the palm tree, jewing on a strange looking fruit.

A sound of a harp cascades down the beach, drawing your eyes away from the animal to a hill in the distance. "Look, a person!" Sanji points to the hill, everyone turning their head. "Wait!! It's an angel!!" He gasps.

"Heso." A strange sound leaves her mouth as she continues to strum the harp. She walks down the hill, the fox leaving your side and running up to her. "Good Su!" She pats the fox's head. "Did you come from the Blue Sea." She asks. Luffy jumps down from his tree, standing tall in front of her with the strange fruit he was jewing on in hand.

"We flew up in our ship. Do you live here?" She nods.

"This is Angel Beach in Skypiea." She noticed the fruit he was holding. "Do you like the Conash?" She takes it from Luffy, using as knife from her bag to open up a hole in the top. "The top of the shell is as hard as a rock. It's no use biting it." She places a straw through the hole, handing it back to Luffy.

Su jumps into her arms as Luffy sips the fruit. "I am Conis." She introduces herself. Now that's she closer, you're able to see the wings and antenna adorning her body. She seemed nice, Sun hanging in arms and cuddling into her.

Sanji swoons at the sight of the girl. "You could melt a man's heart with that look." He says before Nami pulls him out of the way by his ear.

"We have a lot of questions." She throws Sanji to the ground, uncaring. "All of this is very strange to us."

"I'd be glad to answer them." Conis smiles as the sound of revving is heard from the ocean. Conis turns, eyeing a man on a strange machine and grinning. "Oh, that's my father!"

Luffy stands toward the cloud, slurping on his drink. "What's that think he's riding!?" Conis's father closes in on the beach quickly, clouds billowing behind him.

"Oh, you mean the waver?" She responded, stepping away quickly as her father runs straight into a palm tree, the waver crashing onto the beach.

"Is anyone hurt...?" He mumbles in pain, wobbling up slowly.

Nami swore she recognized he machine, bounding up to Luffy. "Didn't you salvage something like that." Luffy nods, too concerned with his drink. "Noland mentioned them in his diary, boats that run without wind!!"

"These friends of yours, Conis?" The man was now upright, grabbing onto the waver and pulling it up. Conis looks back, nodding.

"Yes father, I just met them. They're from the Blue Sea." The man nodded in understanding.

"I see. Then they must feel rather lost. You've reached the White-White Sea." He informed. "Pardon me, I should've introduced myself. I am Pagaya."

"What were you doing out in the sea?" You ask him, Pagaya pulling out a lobster from a giant vase on his back.

"I was just out fishing for the finest catch in the White-White Sea, a sky lobster. Won't you come and enjoy the bounty with us?" He offers.

Luffy throws his hands in the air, nearly dropping his drink. "Really!? Sure, we'll come!!" He booms. Sanji laughs, a smile adorning his lips at the mention of cooking.

"Skypiean cuisine, eh? Let me help you cook!" Pagaya lets out a very fatherly laugh, playing the lobster back into the vase. Nami calls out to him, kneeling near the waver.

"Can I ask you something first, how does this operate?" She asks, inspecting the waver.

"Oh, you must not know what a dial is." Conis interrupted. "Would you like to try?" Nami can't answer as Luffy races towards the waver.

"Yeah! Yeah! Let me try!" Luffy begs, Conis laughing at his desperation. She leads him to the sea, showing him where the Excelleration is before he vrooms off.

"Wah!! You did it!!" Chopper watches Luffy speeds on the clouds. He starts off pretty well, before he starts to wobble and lose control. He attempts to stop the shaking, before falling off, the waver tumbling away.

You hear Conis gasp, "Oh no! I hope he's not hurt!" She cries, Pagaya just as concerned. Chopper spares a panicked glance between Zoro and Sanji, both who look perfectly fine.

"I wonder if people with Devil Fruit powers sink in this Sea like they do in water?" Sanji wonders aloud while lighting a cigarette.

Zoro shrugs. "Well, it's not like the normal Sea, maybe he'll float."

He in fact, did not float.

---

"I almost fell through the cloud..." Luffy groaned, being dragged to shore by Zoro. Sanji scoffs, giving an annoyed look to Zoro.

"Well, if it wasn't for someone standing around saying stupid stuff, this wouldn't have happened." Zoro growls, shooting the cook an equally angry look.

"It was my fault for allowing a novice to try!" Pagaya attempt to calm the two down, waving his hands. "Wavers are built very light for the sake of speed, but even a small wave can send them out of control." He explained.

"Is it that difficult? I want to try too." Chopper says as Conis gives him a nervous look, explaining the difficulty.

"Hey!" Usopp yells suddenly. "They're riding it!!'

Out on the sea was you and Nami, her driving the waver while you attached herself to the back. If you were being honest, you wanted to try the machine the first time you saw it but didn't know when to speak up. You saw Nami attempting to ride it, and you asked if you could tag along.

"She's amazing, I can't believe my eyes!!" Pagaya shouts while Luffy stares slack-jawed.

"How come she ride it?!" Luffy stares, mainly at you and your bright smile. You looked so happy riding around on the waver, your arms wrapped around Nami's waist and for a second, Luffy imagined if your arms were wrapped around him instead.

"Hey, Nami, (Y/N)! We're going to the man's house now! Hurry up and get off!" Luffy yells, annoyed. Sanji hits his head, trying to hear your giggles as you rush across the waves. "Get off right now!!" Luffy continues.

"You guys go ahead, can we ride a little bit longer, mister?!" Nami yells. Pagaya nods, Nami speeding off quickly, ignoring the protests of Luffy as you laugh happily.

"It's no fair..." Luffy pouts, watching you ride away.

---

"Usopp you idiot!!"

"Now press the apex of the shell."

"What's the apex?'

"The top of the shell."

"Usopp, you idiot!!" The shell repeated, Luffy gasping with wide eyes.

"Amazing. It recorded sound." Zoro gaped. "Is this shell a dial?" Conis nodded, moving to the balcony and watching the waves.

"Yes, it's a tone dial. It's a shellfish that live in the White-White Sea that can record and reproduce sounds." She explains. "We mostly use them to record music."

"I though the White-White Sea had no seafloor?" Zoro questioned.

"We get them from the Sandbars around the reefs." He nods.

Robin takes a look at the dial. "So, this is a dial, but I still don't understand how a waver moves."

Conic takes another dial from a shelf. "We use these to propel our wavers only larger versions." She shows them the dial, this one looking more like a conch. "This is a wind dial."

Luffy takes the dial and blows some wind into Usopp's face. Conics laughs at them, "I can barely handle a waver myself, but they can also propel skates and boards and all sorts of things." She laughs.

"I wanna ride the waver." Luffy sighed, leaning on the balcony. "We even have one."

"But ours is old and beat up. After 200 years, I doubt it'll run." Usopp tries to comfort Luffy as he watches Nami and You ride the waver.

"As long as it remains intact, it should function." Conis says, a gasp bellowing all throughout the room.

"Really?" Luffy begs while getting side eyed by Usopp.

"But it probably won't work, Luffy." He deflates, Conis apologizing for the issue.

"She's so lucky..." Luffy cries as he continues to watch Nami drive you around the waves. Conis moves back into the building where Robin, Chopper, and Zoro are relaxing while trying out different dials. Currently, they were trying out a lamp dial, a dial that would collect light and then light up a room.

"Wow! The shell lights up!" Chopper gaped. Conis bounds up, her hands behind her back as she explains the device.

"The civilization of Skypiea owes much to dial power. There are also flam dials that preserve heat, scent dials that retain smells, vision dials that archive pictures and many other kinds." Conis says, clearly happy to share her peoples histories. The pirates listen as Sanji bursts through the room, gasping.

"What's the matter?" Pagaya asks worried. Sanji spits his tongue out, disgusted.

"This sky-colored sauce is too weird! My tongue's gone numb!" He continues to spit out the taste from his mouth. Pagaya gawks, grabbing the bottle from him and throwing it away.

"Oh, sorry. That's spoiled." Pagaya apologizes and Sanji groans while he picks up plates filled with food, laying them down on to the dining table.

"Dinner is served." He declared. Luffy and Usopp both rushed to their seats, shoving the food into their mouths like it was going to be taken away from them.

"Hey! Where'd Nami and (Y/N) go!?" Sanji was on the balcony, gazing at the sea. "I don't see them." He squinted, attempting to make you out.

Luffy spared him a glace while munching on lobster. "They probably went out a little farther." Sanji doesn't respond, his gaze unmoving.

"Father...I hope they're alright." Conis moved towards her father, his face covered in worry.

"Yes, I have a bad feeling about this Conis." He replied. Luffy turns his attention to the two, raising a brow.

"What's wrong?"

Conic gulps, visibly uncomfortable. "In Skypiea, there is one place you must never go, no matter what." She stares. "It borders our island so it's easy to reach on a waver."

You and Nami stare, eyes wide at the gigantic trees in front of you. No sound is heard other than the forest in front of you.

"It's the Upper Yard, the Domain of God's Army."
