@sanusoweek sanuso week day 2 : fairy tale ..

[vroomian]

Oc usopp in a world with Actual Fate By Word of God Oda deciding to see if he does Have A Fate by leaving Syrup at fourteen and traveling the blues all on his own.

The clinking of cutlery upon plates and chatter among friends fills the small island tavern with animated joy and serene relief. Brook plays the violin somewhere to the left side of the room, though the eager blathering of the crew drowns out the more finer notes and melodies played. 

A well-deserved interruption and a welcome change from the unpredictable nature of the past few day’s events – though for Zoro, it’s a distraction that’s come to an end. Despite the crew being whole again, he still feels a hollowness within – something no amount of eating or drinking or fighting can fill.

And it’s entirely his fault.

You sit across the table from him, sipping at a near-empty glass of wine and discussing something inaudibly with Usopp. He can’t quite read your expression from where he’s seated, but you look interested enough in the conversation. 

And if it’s obvious to himself that he’s keeping you at arm’s length, it’s clear to anyone with a working conscience that he’s doing his utmost to avoid you. The many longing gazes from his peripheral do not go unnoticed, but he dares not to look – for the hurt in your eyes would crush him and sear and stain into his soul.  A far-flung difference from the camaraderie that came before all of this, when the two of you were rarely found an inch too far apart from one another – and now Zoro can’t even look you in the eye. After his many imagined intimate rendezvous,how could he?

With you distracted, he lets his eye wander across your face, to the length of your arm, down to the glass pinched between your fingers – but it comes to rest upon your lips. He watches, transfixed on the flight peek of your tongue behind your teeth when you speak, how your lips twist with each syllable, how they purse when you’re in thought, and the way they stretch across your cheeks when you smile.

Zoro’s throat tightens, a sharp dagger of guilt carving into his chest. He forces his stare to the table, the tiniest sliver of your form still lingering in the corner of his vision. You’ve journeyed this far, fought, bled, and laughed together. And now, for once, he’s unable to find the words to say.

The weight of his inaction bears down on him, leaving him listless. The only respite he’s found is in the distraction of a battle, a thudding, a clash, steel ringing against steel. In those moments, he’s alive, he’s focused, and the words that plague his every waking thought cease to exist. But without the battle, Zoro is left with nothing but the echoes of unspoken desires.

His hand trembles, gripping his mug of ale as he brings it to his lips. The bitterness of the brew does little to quell the fire in his chest. He’s a swordsman, a pirate – not a poet, bard, or a man of words. It’s a mess of feelings. Lust, want, longing, love, all these indescribable sensations that only serve to make Zoro feel weak and helpless and vulnerable when faced with them. He feels like a coward, daring never to speak to you again, never to confess his feelings, and never pulling you into his arms and kissing you senseless.

Zoro’s eye meets yours for one singular fleeting moment, the intensity of the connection making his heart race. He knows he can’t keep up this charade, this dance of avoidance – but how does one even confess to these feelings? How does one bridge the gap between comrade and lover? He scratches his chin, trying to come up with a solution, but all he can think of is a single, frustrating fact: he can’t keep running.

Whether it’s every empty bottle he’s seen the bottom of tonight, the last of his resolve wearing thin, or just the sheer guilt of it all that drives him suddenly to his feet, he isn’t sure. Inhaling one of the deepest breaths he’s ever taken, he silently trudges around the table to where you’re seated.

At first, he hovers awkwardly so as to not interrupt the conversation you’re having. Both hands come to rest at either side of the back of your chair and he can feel his pulse through his fingertips on the wood – and when you tilt your head up to look at him, a curious smile twitching at the edges of your cheeks, he cracks.

Zoro clears his throat and forces his gaze. “I need to talk to you for a sec.”

His voice is hoarse as he asks, and he hopes you can’t hear the nerves that lie beneath his words. Surprised by how much he’s sweating and how his heart races against his ribcage, he swallows to regain some semblance of composure.

“It’s important,” he adds, trying not to stumble over his thoughts. It’s a pitiful excuse, but all that comes to mind amidst the maelstrom of emotion in his head.

“Oh, yeah – of course!” You reply with raised brows and begin to stand. Zoro allows you the room to move, taking a step back from the table. “Sorry, Usopp,” you say as you turn and give him a weak shrug, “Remind me where we left off later?”

“No prob!” The sniper shoots a thumbs-up and the two of you exchange a wave before you turn to follow Zoro away from the lively table and out of the tavern.

Zoro leads you to a quiet spot by the docks nearby, where the salty scent of the sea mingles with the faint tang of fish and the distant hum of the island. He can’t bring himself to look at you, electing instead to focus on the water and the twinkling reflection of the night sky in the soft waves.

“Everything okay?” You ask softly, taking a few steps toward him and assuredly taking note of his hesitance. “What’s up?”

“I missed you,” Zoro replies, fixated on the sigh of the shifting tides lapping at the wooden posts below. “A lot.”

“I missed you too, Zoro, but what’s so urgent?” The concern in your tone is apparent and caring, and normally works to soothe him when his mind runs rampant – but this moment, this situation he finds himself in, it does the opposite.

“No,” Zoro shakes his head, his fingers twitching at his sides. “I missed you - differently from the others.”

“Differently?”

Zoro’s jaw clenches, and part of him wants to jump into the ocean and swim as far away from the island as his arms will take him. The honest admission hangs heavy on his tongue, the weight of the years of denial suddenly threatening to push it out. He pauses, opens and closes his mouth a few times, then finally, with a shaky exhale, he looks you straight in the face.

“I love you.”

The admission hangs between you, the weight of years of suppression. Zoro shifts his weight from one foot to the other, twinges of regret creeping up the nape of his neck.  It takes you a moment to reply, and considering the nature of the confession, it's reasonable. Zoro's nerves feel like hot coals beneath his skin as he watches your face for any sign of an answer.

“...for real?” Your gentle response fills his entire being with a wistful spark of hope.

Zoro's fingers curl into fists. "Yes, for real," he confirms, still not looking up. His heart thuds painfully in his chest, a heavy, leaden weight. All his hopes and fears rest on the outcome of this conversation. He's unsure if he could handle rejection, but he can't go back to the pretense any longer. Zoro swallows, tasting bile at the back of his throat. "I should've told you before now, but I... I'm an idiot.” He lets out a humorless laugh, his voice quiet.

He isn’t sure when you move, but a smaller, softer hand wraps around his – and in an instant, he feels himself relax into your touch. Zoro relaxes his grip, allowing your fingers to entwine with his.

He snaps his gaze towards you, his heartbeat ringing loudly in his ears. You peer at him, a sweet, crooked smile on your lips and a blush across your face. And when your free hand finds purchase on his cheek, Zoro finds himself leaning in. 

You meet him halfway in a genuine, tender kiss that sends a jolt of electricity coursing through him. Zoro's arms wrap around you and pull you close. The world around falls away as you both delight in the embrace. The kiss is gentle, delicate, and filled with longing. It floods him with an unexpected warmth – and for once, he can't think of the past or the future. He's simply lost in the present moment.

When you finally pull away, Zoro can't help but lean into your palm on his cheek with a bit of a dazed smile on his face. Holding onto your hand, his other hand slowly moves to cup your cheek in return. His heart is pounding, his mind a blank slate tinged with overwhelming happiness. He's lost in your gaze, unable to speak, but he doesn't need to. The moment says everything.

"Do you know how much I missed you?" you murmur, lips ghosting his and thumb trailing upward to gently trace the lower half of the scar that now covers his right eye. "How often I thought of you?"

And then you say it - the words he's only imagined hearing you speak.

"I love you, too.”

Zoro's chest tightens, a lump forming in his throat as he meets your gaze, his heart swelling. Words fail him, the raw emotion in his gut silences his voice.  A slow smile spreads across his lips, a look of awe and joy shadowing his features. He doesn't need words. The simple fact that you feel the same is enough to fill him with warmth and peace. 

Leaning in again, Zoro captures you in another deep kiss – a deep and soulful kiss that speaks volumes. He's consumed by the feeling of being with you, of finally being able to express his love. His hand moves to cup the back of your head, pulling you closer, and he kisses you with all the passion and longing he's suppressed for far too long.

You sigh into him, the sound willingly swallowed by Zoro’s growing hunger. Arms wrap around his shoulders and you press yourself into him, the opened-mouthed kiss quickly turning into a twist of tongues dancing together in a frenzied rhythm with audible smacks of saliva mixing with each meeting of your lips. His hand clutches your hair more firmly, his other hand slipping around her waist to pull you impossibly closer.

The gesture is all-consuming, a whirlpool of desire and affection that leaves him lightheaded. For the first time in years, he feels like he's truly alive, his heart beating in perfect harmony with yours.

Slowly breaking the kiss, Zoro's lips ghost over your jawline, trailing down to your collarbone as he breathes in your scent, savoring every moment. He wants to memorize the taste, the feel, and the sound of your breath as his hands roam over your body, his heart beating a furious tempo.

You let out a small gasp when his lips touch your sensitive flesh, your body reacting to his every move. Goosebumps raise in the wake of his fingertips as he nibbles at your neck, causing your grip to tighten and for you to moan softly into his ear. 

Part of Zoro wants to take you here and now, but what remains of his will stops him. He growls into your neck and lifts you up fully and, – with a little assistance from you –  heads in the direction of the ship anchored nearby. The others wouldn't be back for a while, so why not take advantage of the privacy?

You’re weightless in his arms as he carries you away from the bustle of the small island village and towards the deck of the Thousand Sunny. Zoro can feel himself growing hard beneath the fabric of his pants as you kiss and nip along his neck, giggling in his ear when he retaliates with a playful squeeze to your rear and a rumbling growl against your skin.

He wastes little time pushing the door to the men’s quarters open with the tip of his boot, his grip on your hips tightening when he moves to lift you onto the nearest bunk, one hand still clutching your waist while the other travels up under your shirt to caress your chest, deft hands making quick work of unhooking your bra and tossing it aside to be forgotten.

Zoro’s breathing hitches, his eyes dark and lustful as he dips his head to suckle at the swell of your breast. He can feel himself twitching against your thigh, and despite his inexperience, he wants nothing more than to please you. 

He kisses down your body, taking a nipple into his mouth and flicking it with his tongue while his hand roams, finding your core already soaked with desire. He pauses, fingers grazing over your clothed slit and feeling you shiver in pleasure. Zoro murmurs your name, and snakes his fingers beneath the waistband of both your shorts and panties before sliding them down your legs in one motion, leaving you naked and bared before him. His own pants follow suit, quickly discarded next to yours.

Zoro's hand finds its way between your thighs again, spreading your folds with ease, and he lowers his head to kiss you once more, his tongue probing your mouth as his fingers gently stroke your clit, drinking in your soft moans.

"Show me." He whispers just loud enough for her to hear. His expression is a loving one, though she notes the slightest bit of hesitance in his words.

Show me how you like it.

You nod and guide his fingers, taking two of the large digits and easing them in circles on your clit. "Not too rough, though," you say patiently, letting go of him with a soft sigh and an encouraging smile. 

Zoro hums in acknowledgment, his thumb and forefinger doing as you ask, the slickness of your pussy allowing his fingers to move easily as he continues to tease at your clit. His other hand rests on your hip, steadying you as his thumb rolls over the sensitive bundle of nerves, eliciting small moans from you. 

Zoro brushes the tip of his finger against your entrance in an experimental move, and by the way you wreathe and whine, he's urged to continue his work. He slides one past your folds and inside of you, making your toes curl and your back arch.

"Shit–" You sputter out between breathless sighs of desire. "Feels really good..."

One finger becomes two, your inner walls clenching around them as he scissors them in and out of your pussy. There's a wet slosh of sound coming from where you meet, your wetness audibly coating his fingers and dripping down down his wrist. 

Zoro's breath hitches at the sound of your pleasure, his eyes dark with desire as he watches your reaction. He's entranced by how your body responds to him, and he can't help but lick his lips as he continues to finger you. He adds a third, the stretch making you gasp and tighten around him.

His pace increases, his fingers swirling and thrusting within you, and he watches as your body writhes and arches beneath him. He can feel the tension building in you, the way your breath hitches and your eyes flutter closed.

"Do you want me inside you?" Zoro asks, his voice low and thick with need. He's anxious to give you pleasure, but he's struggling to keep himself from joining his fingers inside you.

"Please," you whine, eyes wide and watery with pleasure but red hot with the need for more. "Need you, Zoro."

Zoro's heart beats wildly in his chest, his own need for you overwhelming as he pulls his fingers from your slick warmth and licks them clean before sitting back on his heels to position himself between your legs. He lines his cock up with your entrance and looks into your eyes, the passion reflected in his own.

Without warning, he thrusts forward, plunging deep into your tightness. You're hot and wet around him, and he lets out a growl of satisfaction as he bottoms out. He pauses for a moment, allowing you both to adjust and to revel in the feeling of being connected. He pulls back, slowly at first, then picks up the pace as he leans over you, the headboard digging into the wall with each forceful thrust. Zoro's eyes never leave yours, his gaze locked as if he's trying to absorb every detail of your expression.

Each stroke of his cock against your walls feels heaven-sent, and the taste of you that lingers on his tongue drives him crazy with want. Nails dig into the flesh of his triceps and your back arches, a song of passion belting from between your lips, a serenade made for him and him alone.

Zoro grunts at the sound of your pleasure, his thrusts becoming even more ferocious as he watches your reaction, the sight of you so lost in ecstasy driving him to the brink. He grips your hips, holding you steady as he pounds into you, the sweat glistening on your skin as your bodies collide.

The moonlight trickling in from the window illuminates your body below him. It's a sight better than anything he could dream, your face contorting in bliss and ecstasy, hands clinging harshly onto him as if he'd disappear if you let go. Savoring a feeling that neither wants to forget.

"You're so fucking perfect." Zoro growls, leaning over you to kiss you feverishly, his tongue seeking yours as he fucks you. He can feel the tension building, the way your body tenses and your nails dig into his skin, and he knows you're close. He wants to give you this moment, wants to make you cum as much as he wants to feel it himself.

"Come on," he urges, his voice thick with lust. "Let go for me." The words were a warning, a promise that he wasn't going to last much longer..Zoro increases the pace of his assault, his own release imminent as he watches your face, your eyes half-lidded and flushed with pleasure. Together, you move, driven by the primal need for release.

Zoro's thumb meets your clit, matching the rhythm of his thrusts with the speed of his ministrations. The dual stimulation pushes you over the edge, crying out butchered attempts at his name as your body convulses around him, your orgasm washing over you in waves. Zoro can't hold back any longer, feeling his own climax building as he watches you.

With a roar, he lets go, burying himself deep as he cums, the spasms of your walls milking him as he shudders and groans into your ear, seed spilling inside of you. He pants heavily, leaning over you as he rests on his forearms, his forehead meeting yours. He stays like that long enough to press a quick kiss to your lips before collapsing atop you with a very exhausted, but very relieved sigh. 

You breathlessly hold him close. Cradling his sweaty form to your chest, one hand makes its way into his moss-green tresses to lightly scratch at his scalp. Zoro lets himself relax, letting out a sigh and nestling into your shoulder. He closes his eyes, feeling thoroughly sated in your embrace.

Zoro pulls out of you eventually, gently rolling off your body to rest. He pulls you into his side as he nuzzles into your hair. "I love you." He whispers, his voice soft and tender and almost unrecognizable.

Snuggling into his side, your hand still lazily strokes his head. "I love you too," you reply, voice equally tender, and a smile playing at the corners of your lips.

Your soft touch and tender words soothe Zoro, your shared connection cemented in the aftermath of passion. He wraps an arm around you, pulling you closer as he feels himself drifting off to sleep, a smile still lingering on his lips. The words you whispered echo in his mind, a warm feeling settling in his chest – and together, in each other's arms, you find peace.

Ps. Sorry I haven’t posted in a while you guys I’ve been in a serious mental funk and things that usually bring me joy aren’t. I had a little inspo and decided to pump this piece out :)

Introduction

Now when the crew had first entered the tatter tavern they least expected you to be laughing away with your own personal bottle of booze and various instruments with a few other members of some ragtag band. The tavern was larger than expected, pirates and patrons of all kinds fill the seats and corners, nursing their drinks and holding conversations.

You giggled and joked and slurred, face tinted red as your loose-fitting blouse dipped lower and lower, revealing your various stings of necklaces, the maximalist in you proudly showing. Your skirt was lifted a bit over your knee, one of your heels resting against an empty barrel as you took one heavy swing from the bottle before cheering. The patrons respond with howls in turn.

“Now! Who’s from outta town?” You question, perusing around the bar before landing your eyes on the very straw hat crew who had entered.

“I know for a fact you all are!” You point, using your bottle to gesture at them.

Luffy looked around, pointing to himself as the rest of the crew began to get defensive, their eyes wanting to see what your next course of action would be.

"Yes, you! The one in the hat and your friends," You continue.

Luffy smiles, looking back at his crew as they still sit, waiting for what was to come after.

“Lovely! We get crews from all walks of life! Do enjoy the music 'cause let me tell you the food ain’t much to speak about!” You joke again, tapping the barrel before you in a rhythm to strike up the next song.

The crew you had just put on blast only watched as patrons from all over the bar stood and spun, dancing in every which way as your voice lifted harmonies above them, a smile on your lips through it all.

What they had least expected, was your slightly drunken form to approach, one hand outstretched in hopes of being joined for a dance.

[as-i-watch]

Hypothetical: Straw Hat DnD night. How do you think it goes?

I imagine something along the lines of:

Like everything else the Straw Hats do, it will end in chaos

Usopp is the DM, bc he has the talent to spin a yarn and make it so interesting and he's quick on his toes to go with whatever bullshit they throw at him

Nami is the one that keeps the group on check and pretty much the leader of the party. She is in charge of the money. Maybe plays as a wizard

Sanji straight up plays out his fantacy of being a knight in shinning armour. Constantly gets caught up and drags the group in side-quests to help damsels in distress. He is a paladin bound to the divine cause of save the ladies, all the ladies

Zoro has no interests in roleplaying and sleeps for most of the campaing...until there's a fight. He mocks the bad guys weapons and criticize their fighting style. He plays a barbarian who used three swords (if it aint broken)

Chopper is the one that's the most excited about the roleplay. He wears costumes and does voices and sound effects while he plays. He plays a wizard bc he loves casting fireballs (he feels terrible when a party memeber gets caught up in the blast)

Robin brings up the darkest shit ever seen. Her charecter is fucked up in the head but is the reason the rest of the party is alive. She's the one that solves all the puzzles. She plays a claric who maybe is a bit too much into necromancy

Brook got way into the game when he learned he could sing. He plays a bard ofc bc he lives for the music (even tho he's not alive) Comic relief duo with Franky. Enjoys way too much the shopping trips and makes Usopp play all the NPCs in the market.

Franky is the less serious monk you'll ever meet. He liked the martial arts part of the class but he will double class as a bard bc he constantly joins Brook on his performances. He is the one that always tries to flirt with the monster.

Luffy has cero impulse control and is the reason the game moves but never in the direction Usopp plans. He plays a fighter and is punching his way through the campaign. Keeps getting mad he cant roleplays his gommu gommu no attacks in the game. Eventualy gets distracted and ends up playing with the minis

(i really dont know that much about dnd classes, i've only watched the first campaign of critical role but you all get the idea)

[untolduttering]

That jester-like outfit has me thinking about some of the Straw Hat boys as jesters.

Luffy? The perfect jester. He has physical comedy down to a T and his blunt tendencies have him dishing out the best insults, ones he genuinely means, but leaves the court laughing because they find them hilarious. He’s a little confused at first, because he thinks they’re just honest observations, but follows along since, hey, if it works, it works. And the outfit? He thinks it’s so great because it’s so much fun.

Zoro is not into it. He is not one to make a fool of himself for the entertainment of others, especially grown adults. He thinks the outfit is ridiculous. And the first time he’s supposed to perform, he almost gets in trouble, because he never finds his way there. Once he’s dragged in and the steward explains that he was lost, that’s when it all starts. He insists he wasn’t, and each time he’s ever asked for anything, he gets lost. And the court is fascinated. It’s so intriguing, so avant-garde, of a performance. They send him one way and he goes the other. And he’s just so insistent that he isn’t wrong. Even weirder, he never drops the act. A fool in his own way.

Sanji isn’t into it either, at first, but soon enjoys it. He thinks the outfit equally as stupid, until the first woman calls him charming and cute. Then he’s all over it. He’s adored by all the women and the silly fawning he does, they think he’s just so funny. The nosebleeds and the intense compliments and love confessions and the way he whirls around with his hands clasped and hearts in his eyes. Even funnier is the way he’s an absolute dick to all the men. Most come to hate him and how the moment his attention happens to fall on them, he’s sneering. Usually because of some uncouth behavior; a man saying something unsavory about a woman or a man who’s thinking of wasting a bit food that wasn’t “good enough”. And then turn right back around to being his lover boy self.

Usopp also makes a good jester, but unfortunately falls heavier into the fool category. He meant to put on a cool show with sorts of different contraptions, truly! But he got so anxious and the stage fright took over. He was fumbling and trying to talk through it, hyping it up to be this grand idea—it’ll knock your socks off!—but then the thing he made just didn’t work. Luckily, the court ate it up. Unfortunately, it’s what they expect of him now. They do enjoy it when something works, in total awe, but he’s learned that they enjoy it more when he makes a total fool of himself. He embraces it, telling his usual grandiose, self-hyping lies, all to make the failure that much bigger.

Brook is into the fit and takes it upon himself to make it even flashier. He does perform music, but that’s more the role of a bard, and so it’s only bone puns and jokes. One after another after another. The royalty he serves adores it, is leaned over, breathless with laughter and slapping their knee. But the court? They would really rather listen to the music. He is quite good, and would do anything to make the bone focused performance stop. They’d also prefer it if he’d stop asking the ladies for their panties, but the ruler finds that humorous too. The ruler wants what they want, they guess.

Franky is just cool. He is similar to Brooke, where he digs the outfit but makes some changes, mostly to make the bottoms into a speedo. He does the whole contraption show that Usopp was hoping for, and the court would be amazed, if he weren’t so odd. For about half of them, they’re all for it. They think the cyborg body is sick and the tricks even sicker. The other half can’t get over the outfit and think him a pervert and a weirdo and aren’t quite sure why he’s still here. Sure, the stuff he does is cool, and he can be funny, but why does he have to dress like that?

That’s all I’ve got so far and just for funsies. I don’t really see Jimbei, nor Robin or Nami, ever even entertaining wearing the clothes, let alone a room of people seeing them in it. I don’t think Chopper would get far. He’d walk in wearing the outfit, at an utter loss as to what to do, and immediately be set into some lady’s lap (most likely the Queen or princess) as she’s cooing at and petting him.

the thing about Usopp is, they call him their sharpshooter, but what he really is is their bard

[rollinouttahere-writes]

Just a thought but imagine Lucky introducing the Strays and The Strawhats to DND.

I've never played DND much to my dismay, but from the vague knowledge I have on it, I feel like Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Franky, and Brook would be into it. Usopp and Franky are both very creatively inclined and intuitive, so the game comes naturally to them. Chopper is just there to have a good time and play with his friends. Robin reads all of the rule books and is the DM. Brook is playing for the laughs. He does the whole bard-who-tries-to-seduce-everything-he-sees-bit. He dies a lot because of it and is making a new character every session.

Luffy is curious about it but very quickly loses interest from all of the rules. Zoro doesn't care about it and fell asleep within minutes the one time he was coerced into playing. It's not really Nami's thing, but she will occasionally pop in to critique the maps they come up with. Sanji just brings everyone snacks while they're playing. Robin will tell him what's going on in the story that day, and he'll make food based around it.

Hastily tacked on strays because I realized last second that I glanced over that part of the ask

Doll loves the make-believe aspect of the game and gets really into it. She fully immerses herself in the world and characters and loves every second of it. Lizard plays it more to have fun with the other rather than personal enjoyment. She doesn't hate it, it's just not really her thing.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like since the timeskip the strawhats that are not the monster trio have been left behind in terms of evolution. Even Sanji was falling behind for a while but now that's changed with his awakened mutation so hopefully something similar will happen to the other strawhats

Nami gets enhancements but she doesn't really learn anything new, just her clima takt gets updated. It's alive now but her attacks didn't really change and we barely see her using her navigation expertise and weather powers... just lightening for the billionth time. She barely even uses mirage anymore!

Usopp awakened observation haki in >>Dressrosa<< and I can't remember it ever being talked about again. No training, no mastering, nothing. I don’t even know if he knows that's what that was!

Robin's devil fruit is so versatile but she basically just makes a giant hand or foot to slap people with. And you're telling me that the woman who spent 20 years on the run, was the second in command to an organization founded by a warlord, spent two years training with the elite fighters of the revolutionary army, and is one of the smartest people alive can’t use haki??? It literally makes no sense

I already made a post about chopper, but basically: he has so many cool transformations. Let him use them!! Does it need to be kung fu point or monster point every time? Sometimes he uses guard point but he has like 4 transformation he barely uses and he really should!!

And Brook... we already have a swordsman, we don't need another one. My favorite Brook fight was in WCI when he was using his music and being dead powers to control the homies. That's cool! That's unique!! Let him be the bard necromancer ghost guy. Imagine how cool would it be if he used music as an attack? His ice attacks are cool but he could be so much more!! If you have a living skeleton rock star on your roster, let him be a living skeleton rock star!!! I'm sick of swords!!

Franky and Jimbei... you're already perfect 🤍🤍

Hello! I love it, can i ask for a part two? where the strawhats reunite again and robin introduce the reader as her lover to the other strawhats, and how the straehats member's would react?

(This is the same person who ask for the robin x polycoria reader)

hello!!

I'm really glad that you liked it hehe and of course you can!

Here is the part 2,(hope you all like it!!):

Part 1 here

------------------------------------------------------------

Amidst the cherry blossoms, the Straw Hat Pirates gathered once again in Wano, a reunion marked by joyous laughter and heartfelt embraces. As the crew members caught up on their adventures, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement, unaware of the surprise Nico Robin had in store.

With a fond smile, Robin stood beside you, her fingers intertwined with yours. The crew fell into a momentary hush as Robin introduced you as her lover.

Luffy's eyes widened, his curiosity piqued, while Nami's knowing grin hinted at her intuition. Sanji's eyebrow raised, but he quickly offered his blessing, expressing relief that Robin had found happiness.

Chopper's wide eyes radiated innocence as he chirped, "Robin has a girlfriend!". Usopp clapped you on the back, his admiration for your resilience evident in his eyes.

Franky boomed with approval, a hearty thumbs-up accompanying his hearty congratulations. Brook, the ever-gallant bard, composed a spontaneous song of love and reunion.

Zoro, however, revealed his approval with a subtle nod, acknowledging the strength and devotion he saw in you. And amidst the camaraderie, Jinbei's wise gaze held a mix of respect and understanding, recognizing the significance of this chapter in Robin's life.

As the Straw Hat Pirates raised their cups to toast to your love, the bonds of friendship grew stronger, intertwined with the threads of your and Robin's intertwined destinies.

If no one else has asked yet have u considered classpects for the strawhats? U always have the good takes on those

ouuughhh the classpect system is fun & permanently burned into my brain so i did HAVE to do this . here's my silly guesses for true signs + classes

had a frankly suspiciously easy time with some of these

oh & I disregarded their actual birthdays in favor of the zodiac personality descriptions on the hiveswap site. for funsies

•••

Luffy - Rogue of Breath (DUH)

Zoro - Heir of Time (*chanting* death god death god death god)

Nami - Witch of Light (haha almost-vriska moment)

Usopp - Maid of Space (the class was not my first choice but when I eventually landed on my own classpect for Usopp I was like yeah.....that's fair.)

Sanji - Knight of Hope (butler island.........)

Chopper - Seer of Life (gonna be honest I mostly ended up on Seer by process of eliminating other classes for him)

Robin - Mage of Void (also duh)

Franky - Bard of Heart (the speedo...dear god... but also what was the Franky Family if not being destructive thru heart for the benefit of others. But also the speedo)

Brook - Sylph of Doom (you look me in the eye and tell me this silly guy shuffling goofily over the ocean waves is not faelike in nature)

EDIT: ok here is the true signs with their actual birrhdays too bc I was curious lol

[asliceofzosan]

luffy

MONK (with levels of barbarian?? he rages every time he utters "you don't mess with my friends") (has the tavern brawler or tough feat lmao)

highest scores: charisma, constitution, dexterity/strength

zoro

FIGHTER (with sentinel and great weapon master as feats)

highest scores: strength, dexterity, constitution

nami

ROGUE (with lucky and/or observant as feat)

highest scores: intelligence, charisma, wisdom

has high passive perception

usopp

RANGER with levels of artificer (lucky and spell sniper as feats)

highest scores: intelligence, charisma, dexterity/wisdom

also has high (if not highest) passive perception

sanji

MONK (flavored to only use his legs ofc, chef feat!!)

highest scores: intelligence, charisma, dexterity/constitution

i initially thought all of these too for the east blue crew !! monk fits sanji and luffy pretty well. i definitely saw luffy as more barbarian with levels of monk tho especially once he received training.

sanji's chef feat is a given. and his high intelligence is very yes ! this man is the King of side quests he is so smart. i also see him with the observant feat. but also hear me out: sanji with the lowest charisma 😭

great weapon master fighter zoro my beloved 😍 also him having the highest constitution is facts

omg usopp having the lucky feat is so real and so funny 😭 man just rolls nat 20s in every dire situation he rly be on the box of doom rolls every session fr and i adore him as a ranger and artificer multiclass ! thats so him to a tee

nami-swan my beloved rogue girl 😍 and i know this is mostly a feat bards take but i also see her taking the actor trait bc shes not just a thief, shes great at deceiving people.
