#everything is sanji's fault he's the one that makes me sob

[beanghostprincess]

me explaining why i like sanuso: i like sanuso because i think both their personalities and pasts match perfectly. their dynamic is domestic and sweet but also silly and hilarious while also having angst from both sides to their own personal issues with self-worth. it's such an interesting ship to explore and i honestly think it's underrated. they're beautiful.

me explaining why i like lusan: [incoherent sobs and screaming]

Unbecoming (Sanji x Ex!Reader)

Angst and hurt and no comfort lol so I hope you prepared yourself lol. I don't usually write engst but I love drama and tension and all that good shit. SOOO ENJOY!

Warnings: Swearing but thats it

Nami can see the look of rage and jealousy written over your face. This wasn't the first time Sanji had done something like this. Blatantly flirted with other women as if you weren't right there.

Part of you dismissed it, knowing that's just how he was as a person. Flirty and charming. But damn it if it didn't piss you off. On this particular night, he had gone too far.

"You know you guys broke up y/n. Let it go."She hums, trying to keep you from going ballistic. It wasn't working.

You sip your drink with narrowed eyes, the bottle being clenched tighter in your hand now. In front of you was Sanji, standing at the bar, talking to some tramp who swooned every time he gave a smile that you deemed to be just for you. He leans down by her ear, whispering something that makes her physically shiver. It makes you sick. Because you know that once upon a time you were that 'tramp' falling for that same smile.

"Oh okay." You hum, standing from your spot and walking to the pair.

Sanji looks up, smile fading at your displeased expression. He's quick to clear his throat as the girl he was previously romancing looks behind her, your now emptied bottle held high over your head. Before it could even make contact with the flinching woman, Sanji grabs your wrist and lowers it, shaking his head no. Profanities of all kinds slip from your lips as the girl before you stands as if she wants to fight. Not like she'd win, you'd kick her ass easily.

"So you don't wanna introduce me to your new friend?" You scoff, seeing him roll his eyes.

The funny thing about this whole situation was that...

You and Sanji weren't together anymore for this exact same reason. He was too much of a goddamned flirt. And you were far too possessive, jealous...and violent when provoked. He's dragging you away now, your body slung over his shoulder as he scowls at Nami for not holding you back. She can see you kicking your legs and pounding your fists into his back. But, Nami simply shrugs with a "This isn't my fight."

It's not long before you're set down, Sanji rolling his eyes at your behavior.

"What's your problem?' he scoffs, throwing his hands up as if he did nothing wrong. The argument was already rising off your tongue and past your lips.

That's another reason why your two broke it off. You argued way too much. Nothing was agreeable and everything was a problem. It was toxic and you both knew it... However, one of you was more eager to leave than the other.

"I don't have a fucking prob-"

"But you do. What don't you understand Y/n? We are not together anymore!" He cuts you off shaking his head in disbelief.

It's true but it still hurts your feelings. You drop your fists, swallowing back the sob that rises in your throat, and blink away the stinging in your eyes. You know you were fucked up but you couldn't help it. Love like that was all you'd ever known.

You were supposed to be possessive and jealous and bitchy and...he was supposed to make you soft and feel soft...This was his fault...no it wasn't, but again this was just like you to try and find someone else to blame.

"I-I know." You rasp, looking away from him. There's no love there anymore. Just irritation and mild pity.

"It's unbecoming of you to act like this. You know that already though." He states, leaving you outside the bar with your thoughts.

Your prince was gone.

[kaizokuseb]

hi! i’m drunk, and i love one piece so much. here’s everything i love about the straw hats (that i can think of right now):

luffy is so incredibly loyal. once he decides you’re worth something, he’ll never change his mind, no matter what. even when nami stole everything he owned (except his hat) and told his crew she wanted nothing to do with them, he didn’t care. she was his friend, his crew, his nakama. he loves her, and he fought for her without even knowing why. that’s what gets me the most; he had no idea why she wanted arlong dead. he didn’t know why law wanted doflamingo dead or why robin was on the run. it didn’t matter. he loved them, and he fought for them. he put his hat, his treasure, on nami’s head and fought for her without knowing why.

zoro is strong but not just physically or even mentally. he doesn’t show it as openly as luffy, but he loves his crew. he made luffy promise that they wouldn’t get in the way of each other’s dreams, but he would gladly die for any member of the crew, even sanji. remember when he took luffy’s pain on thriller bark and refused to let sanji get in the way? zoro is luffy’s first mate, his right hand man. he understands his captain better than anyone else on the crew, and there is nothing more important to zoro than his principles. he doesn’t like to show it, but the crew means everything to him.

usopp is brave. my dad told me when i was a kid that bravery isn’t having no fear, it’s doing what you need to do despite your fear. usopp is braver than the monster trio in this way; he’s so afraid all the time, yet he keeps going. he fights and he lies and he protects his crewmates, and the whole time he’s shaking in fear, but he does it. his dream is to be a brave warrior of the sea, but he doesn’t realize that he already is one. he has been since he lied to those kids on syrup and decided to fight kuro to protect his village and kaya. he’s so, so brave, and he doesn’t even know it.

sanji is so kind. i’m so inspired by his belief in one simple thing: no one should ever have to starve. it doesn’t matter if he hates them, if he wishes they were dead, anything. all that matters is that they’re hungry. now that we know his backstory, we can see why he treats women and men so differently. everything is exaggerated in one piece, but as someone with an abusive father and a loving mother, i feel like i understand him so well. i too have treated women as better than me in my life because of my own trauma. i get it. i love him. out of all the strawhats, sanji is my favorite.

nami. where do i even begin with nami? i remember clearly the first time i watched one piece and how i cried a little at different flashbacks. but when it came to nami’s, i sobbed. i felt like a child who needed his mother, i felt my own heart break, i felt an overwhelming need to hold her and keep her safe. the way she acted at punk hazard, her inability to turn away from desperate children and her soft spot for female marines, made me fall in love with her all over again. nami acts selfish and uncaring, but she is so full of love that she can’t hide it. she reminds me of my own sister, the eldest who had the worst childhood out of my siblings. that strength born of trauma, that protectiveness for those younger than her, that adoration of loving parental figures. i just love her.

chopper is so determined to be good enough that he’ll turn himself into a monster just to make himself useful. sweet, innocent, loving chopper. his mentor/father was so brave and wonderful, so caring, and chopper learned everything from him. even doctorine was caring at her core, and chopper soaked it all up like the world’s most adorable sponge. he’s so cute. he’s beyond brave. his reaction to what was happening to those kids at punk hazard was so real and raw. he’s what a doctor should be—a bleeding heart, kind and caring to a fault. plus his “SOMEONE CALL A DOCTOR” running joke is so funny to me.

robin. again, where do i start? she’s so kind and friendly at heart. in a way, she can be very childish in how she thinks. cute. but she’s also dark, and i think she would have been that way even if ohara had survived. nothing will ever hurt me the way “I WANT TO LIVE” hurt me. whether watching it or reading it, i cry like a baby. all she ever wanted was a family, a home, and she found one when the strawhats declared war on the government to save her. she didn’t believe she was worthy of that love, but it didn’t matter because they loved her all the same. she betrayed and killed people to survive, and i respect her so much for coming through all of that with kindness still in her heart.

franky is a bit of a wild card to me. i hated him in the beginning, and it took me a while to get over what he did to usopp. but there’s something profound in what he went through for tom. he was ready to die, should have died to save his father, and he has no prejudice in his heart. i fully believe, out of all of the strawhats, franky would the most accepting of a queer bro. i also just love that he’s meant to be american and he’s pretty accurate lmao

brooke is another one that i don’t know how to describe. he’s been through so much grief, so much pain, and he uses his own misfortune to make his loved ones laugh. think about it. his “skull jokes” wouldn’t be possible if he wasn’t a skeleton, and he wouldn’t be a skeleton without the horrific events that led up to it. he turns his pain into humor to lighten the spirits of the those around him. there’s a strength in him that goes ignored too often. the man isn’t entirely sane, and i wouldn’t expect him to be. but he’s so full of love and joy, a true example of someone coming through trauma with love and kindness, making the best of a horrible situation.

i don’t know jinbei well enough to describe him, but i do know that he’s loyal and strong and extremely principled. he’s similar to nami and sanji in that way; there are lines he will not cross, but he knows how to make hard decisions for the good of the people he loves. out of all them, he seems the least “pirate” to me, in that i think he would be happier not being one at all if only the circumstances were different for fishmen. that’s all i can really say about him as someone who hasn’t finished wano (meaning maybe we get more characterization in chapters i haven’t read yet).

anyway, i love one piece and i love the strawhats, so here’s this.

[oneprompt]

Yooo your writing is so good!!! If it's alright, may I ask for the monster trio's hcs on almost losing their S/O in a fight with other pirates/marines? (Sorry if its a bit angsty among all these fluff fisbg)

authors note: hii <3 im very glad you’re enjoying it , that means a lot to hear ! and yes , i do love me some good angst .. i hope you enjoy ! <3 + zoro’s takes place during enies lobby , luffy’s takes place during wano and sanji’s takes place in whole cake <3 just . thought it’d be easiest to use pre existing arcs ...!

Zoro ( Almost ) Losing His S/o Headcanons

• Zoro finished his fight as quick as he could. He knew there was possibly more keys to find... and even if there wasn’t, you all still had to reach Robin. And you.... Zoro was furious at himself. How could he let you linger alone? Not that he thought you were weak, no. You were a force to be reckoned with. But Zoro couldn’t help but worry about which Cp9 agent you were put against, especially considering he struggled within his own fight..

• He’s quick to take his key and run up the crumbling stairs of the Tower of Law. Please be okay. Zoro didn’t look the part but he was so worried, so concerned. Zoro needed you to be safe, he was praying you weren’t put up against any of the big guys...

• And finally, Zoro had found you. The sight was one he had never wanted to witness in his life. He had no clue how to react, truly. Zoro never had a person in his life to call his, no one that made him feel the way you did. So, seeing you doused in blood, the deep slices upon your chest from claws made his blood boil. You had to be alive, right? You weren’t dead. No, you couldn’t be.

• Where was everyone? Where was Chopper? Zoro has no experience with medical supplies, not like that mattered, as he had none. He tried to not stare at you, trying to steady his somewhat shaky breathing. You had been pinned up against that leopard zoan user, hadn’t you? Wasn’t that guy the strongest? Why couldn’t you have been anywhere else?

• The light tears that laced his dark eyes were quick to slip and dissolve as you suddenly touched him. The sudden weight of your hand upon Zoro’s broad shoulder felt heavy, it felt endless in this moment. Were you.. really okay? As soon as he finally looks back at your bloody and disheveled self, he’s greeted with the softest smile he’s ever seen you bear upon your face.

• You want to apologize. Say sorry for failing your battle with Lucci, for worrying Zoro. But Zoro gives you not even a moment to think of what to say, as he pulls you into an almost out of character embrace. It was full of love, of security. Even as the claw marks upon your chest stayed branded on, you cling to Zoro, giving no regards to the scene that was before you both. Zoro was so happy to see you.

Luffy ( Almost ) Losing His S/o Headcanons

• Luffy is immediately engulfed by sudden flashes and memories of Marineford. He’s reminded of the soul crushing despair that engulfed his pure heart as Ace died within his arms. And here it was, happening once more. But not with Ace, with you. You were his most prized shipmate, he loved you a lot. No way was this happening... Luffy couldn’t lose someone he loved so dearly, not again.

• He’s squeezing you, nails digging into your flesh. Luffy is pleading, begging at that point. You had to be alive, you’ve survived much worse then this. You two would make it out of here. You and everyone else would beat Kaido and Tobi Roppo, wouldn’t you? You had to! You all made a promise... you promised to be at Jinbe’s banquet with the rest of the Straw Hats, with the other samurai..

• Luffy can’t help but cry. It’s out of character but with the sight of your body bruised and molded in such a painful state, it’s impossible not to. The way you’re making... you look so peaceful, just like Ace. Ace had the same smile on his face before he fell upon Luffy, adjusting every bit of dead weight onto the younger boy.

• He should’ve been there to help. Luffy couldn’t help but blame himself. Where was he during your grand fight? You must’ve advanced to King and Queen far too quick... Why couldn’t you have waited? Luffy could’ve been there.. he wanted to help, he could’ve helped. Did you die because of him...?

• Yet, the sudden noise of coughing made his sobbing halter, at least in volume. Luffy looked down at you, your bruised and bloodied face now accompanied with the presence of your hopeful eyes. You were alive..? Luffy’s tears cascaded downward, gently splattering down onto your cold cheeks. He couldn’t believe it..

• Luffy is all over you, crying his entire heart out. But can you blame him? He didn’t want to endure a repeat of what happened with Ace, pacing through another heart wrenching death. Your well being meant everything to Luffy, it truly did. He wanted to become the Pirate King with you on his side, he needed you in order to tap into his full potential. Without you, he could never reach his dreams.

Sanji ( Almost ) Losing His S/o Headcanons

• Sanji’s rapid footsteps pattered through the wedding, slamming down onto the cracker tracks that placed themselves throughout the setting. He saw the way you fell to the ground, every inch of you slamming to the candy coated ground as Big Mom had used her devil fruit. You couldn’t be dead... were you truly that afraid of Big Mom? So much so she could suck every bit of life out of you?

• Sanji can’t help but feel completely at fault. This was all his fault. If he hadn’t came here, if he hadn’t treated you all so badly before departing, none of this would’ve happened. If only Sanji wasn’t born, none of you would have to deal with him. It should’ve been him to die, not you. He knew how awful of a man he was, he knew how happier you would be without him on your side.

• It takes him all of his strength to hold in his tears. Crying was for the weak, wasn’t it? Instead, Sanji just stares at you, almost as if he was completely numb and oblivious to the world around him. You’d get up, right? You couldn’t die. No. You couldn’t, he wouldn’t let such a thing happen to you.

• Why did you come here to save him? Why did any of you show up for him? If you all let Sanji be wedded to Pudding, none of this would happen. You and the rest of the present Straw Hats wouldn’t have been put under such dangerous circumstances. Sanji felt at fault. He couldn’t even sell his life away correctly without hurting anyone..

• The sudden embrace around his neck is enough to make Sanji gasp. Was it...an enemy? No. No, it was the best thing it could’ve been. It was you. How had you overcome Big Mom’s devil fruit, you wonder. Sanji doesn’t hesitate to hug you back, not in the slightest. He held you as tight as he could, allowing you to sob into the white suit jacket he wore, your tears seeping into his cotton button up shirt.

• Sanji carries you upward and flees further away from the wedding, all the while giving you reassurance. He feels horrible for what he put through, not just physically. Just suddenly departing, saying he’s wedding another woman, leaving his true beloved behind must’ve been soul crushing for you.. Sanji would never let that happen again, he’d never allow you to feel such a way ever again.

The boys reacting to their s/o pulling themselves out of a Bad Depressive Relapse:

Warning(s): Mentions of depression, Intrusive thoughts, self-destructive behavior’s

A/N: I’m very proud of myself for pulling myself out of my bad depressive relapse episode this morning so, it’s time to write some comfort!

This man is pretty dense when it comes to dealing with other people’s internal suffering tbh.

Like, unless your outwardly showing signs of pain, he won’t fully get it.

He noticed that you were...Not your usual self for a while. A long while at that, it started to worry him that you weren’t laughing with him anymore for that period of your slump.

But, one morning, an early morning that is, you had snuck out of your room that you shared with the girls to find Luffy for some much needed Cuddling.

Ever so quietly moving towards his bed, you slowly climbed in. Him feeling movement on top of him startled him awake but, he kept quiet.

Seeing that you were the one crawling in his bed, literally made him have the biggest grin on his dorky face you’ve ever seen.

“Welcome back y/n-san” He whispered as he pulled you in for a tighter cuddle session, you couldn’t help but chuckle but, you kept quiet to avoid waking the other boys.

Soon enough, it was morning, and the rest of the crew saw that you two were finally cuddling again after your depressive slump.

Nami so took a picture with the Camera-snail for blackmail evidence to tease you with.

Seeing you severely depressed drove him Mad.

Not because he was mad /at you/ But because he was mad at /himself/ for not noticing it sooner than he should have.

Robin tried telling him about your depressive slump but, Zoro was completely clueless on what she was getting at.

“My y/n? Depressed? Why? She looks perfectly fine to me.”

That line was a big mistake on his part since you accidentally heard that, which sort of drove you over the edge again

Ngl, it took him quite a while for him to start making it up to you again after that night. His guilty conscious refused to let him rest peacefully until things where settled between you two again

Weeks went by, and even though most of the Straw Hats assumed you where still depressed, Zoro sensed otherwise.

It seemed like to him that you were finally starting to shed your light again, even if it was a slow start at first.

One day though, while the two of you were on grocery duties to help Sanji since he took the role of guard duty this round. You grabbed his arm and hugged it tightly.

it startled him at first because he thought he was being kidnapped or something, but once he saw that you had just grabbed onto it and acted so casually about it

This mans started to blush a pink hue. A brief silenced filled the air between you two before he spoke up,

“...Y/n-san....” He paused before turning towards you, “Is everything ok now? And I don’t mean that fake bullshit ‘Ok’ either...” he asked while looking concerned

You looked up to him, with the biggest smile he’d ever seen. Even if it was a small one, the fact that you smiled again after so long of not smiling, it drove him Wild.

“Yeah...........Yeah.......Everything’s gonna be ok now.” You started off before holding his hand firmly, “I have my Nakama...And I have you by my side. So, I’m no longer alone anymore.” You smiled again while looking up to Zoro, who still had the blush but, a genuine smile back

“That’s my girl.” Zoro just says while bending down to give you a quick peck on the forehead, which made you blush a deep crimson red seeing as you two were in public still.

Okay but, you /KNOW/ this idiot is gonna think it’s his fault your depressed.

He’ll constantly blame himself for your sadness, as it’s not something that could be easily cured with affection or food.

He’s even more sad when he can’t dote on you so much because it makes you feel even worse.

You have to keep reminding him that this was just how your brain worked sometimes.

It wasn’t until Nami and Chopper explaining it to him properly, is when he started to finally understand that some people just feel down and needed some space for a bit.

Even when he was giving you your personal space, he still made you your favorite foods, making sure that you had stuff to drink and eat even if you were cooped up in your bedroom for a long time.

He won’t admit it directly but, he genuinely misses you. He misses your smell, your touch, your face, your body, your everything.

He especially misses the way you can easily fluster him and make him feel like a King, but he’ll deny those feelings if you asked him though.

A couple of month’s had gone by of this depressive state of yours. it was starting to take a mental tole on himself, knowing that you were stuck in those same four walls, missing everything that was happening, being unable to help you at all during this.

Just as he was about to head towards the sleeping cabin area to drop off your next meal, he’d noticed that your door was slightly open. He blinked, confused and worried that somebody had tried sneaking inside of it somehow.

But soon enough, you had popped out, yawning as you’d just woken up that morning. Nothing had harmed you physically from the looks of it, he looked up and down for a while before placing the food tray on a nightstand to avoid spilling the food.

You turn after hearing the tray clink against the wooden surface, “Oh? Morning Sanji-sa--Ouf!” You where cut off from a tackle hug.

Sanji had wrapped his arms around you tightly, holding you so close to him you were practically choking on his hair. “S-Sanji?? Is everything alright?” You asked, patting his back gently

Your eyes widened as the next thing he did was give you a big passionate kiss on your lips. You felt salty fluids on his face. “Oh.” You thought as you realized what was happening

“I missed you so fucking much y/n-chan.” Sanji says after the kiss. Hearing him say that so bluntly made /you/ turn red-faced and start to stutter.

“....Yeah....I missed you too Sanji-san.” You admitted while smiling again after so long of not showing your smile to anybody. Poor Sanji nearly fainted.

Law knew something was off about you even before you realized it yourself.

You were grumpy, snippy, more “tired” than normal. You had constant mood swings that showed up out of the blue. Everything was just...Off.

It didn’t take much for him to realize that you were dealing with Depression. Although he knew very little of your past, he knew that something was eating at you.

Once your downward spiral of your mental suffering began, you stayed in your bedroom for the majority of the time, refusing to go out even if it was for a general meeting for a mission, or even for food.

Law wasn’t the best at communicating his own feelings towards somebody, so helping his crush with her depression was a little bit harder to do than he thought.

He didn’t realize that you would get so bad that you just woke up absolutely /screaming/ at the top of your lungs during a nightmare. The only reason he knew what was happening was because Bepo went to drop off some food for you, and then ran once he heard the screaming.

After a while of some studying on Depression, Law tried everything that he could to at least /try/ to get you to speak with him...But, after a few weeks of this, he started to get tired of chasing you.

“Y/n-ya...At least let me check for injuries.” He said as he sat on the floor, leaning against your bedroom door with a frown....No response.

He could hear silent sobbing and hiccups behind him, which hurt because he didn’t know how to help you! it drove him Mad!

He was about to give up, sighing in irritation. As he started to walk away, he heard the bedroom door start to click open. You peaked your head out tiredly, face stained with dried and fresh tears, your face all red from not just crying but from stress as well.

Seeing you so Broken hurt him. He’s been there before, he’d never wish to see his friends be broken like this...Let alone his crush.

You opened the door wider so that way he could come in, “...sorry....For the mess...” You weakly spoke, allowing him to enter your room.

Once the two of you were in your room, you had shut the door, then locked it behind you...Eventually turning to face Law, the next moved startled him

You were so tired from the depression night terrors, the screaming, the crying and well...Everything else...That you just fainted into his arms! “Y-Y/n-ya??” He questioned as he stood still. No response...Well, nothing with words anyways. A soft snore leaked passed your slightly open mouth

You had fallen asleep, quite literally in his arms. And he didn’t know how to handle it. You were his crush after all! What was he supposed to do!? Move you away!? Fuck.

He calmed down and carried you bridal style in his arms, thanking God that you were a heavy sleeper, and shuffled his way onto your messy bed, kicking his shoes off at least before getting comfortable.

Another week had passed since that night, and throughout that week, law would give orders to Bepo and Penguin to take control of the ship while he stayed put. he would only move to take a piss/shit or a quick shower before rushing to your side again. He’d forgo the shower if waking you would cause you to feel alone and start crying again.

Once that week had passed though, you had woken up to feel a body underneath you. Blinking, you were confused as to what was happening. You then blushed a deep crimson red seeing Law underneath you, holding you so tightly to him that you could hardly breathe properly because of it.

Law had woken up after feeling your movements to try and get out of bed and take a shower, since you hadn’t taken a proper one in the past three weeks due to your depressive state hitting you like a two ton truck.

You then felt an arm snake around your lower waste, pinning you down of sorts, which made you jump a bit and turn to see who’s it was. Only to see Law wide awake and looking upwards at you

A brief silence filled the room before Law had spoke. “Y/n-ya......You’re Ok.” he says quietly, trying not to startle you...Soon, the memories of what you went through during your depressive state had hit you. You saw everything that happened. And then you saw that Law had tried his hardest to get you to feel ok.

You started to cry again, which made him frown in worry, only to . be taken aback by the sudden tackle hug you were doing, “Law!” You kept muttering in between your hiccupped sobs as you held him.

All Law did was rub your head gently and held you close to him again. He didn’t know how to respond. “....You saved me.....” You commented, now hovering over him with a shaky smile.

Those words. Those three single words made his heart melt with pure happiness. A feeling he hasn’t had in a LONG while. Despite the fact that he hated being called a Hero, if he could save /you/ from death? Then he’ll take being called a Hero by you any day.

You just kept hiccupping as you cried of happiness, but that was easily silenced with Law’s next action. You felt Law’s rougher lips against your own, which easily made you stop crying. He broke the kiss after a while and smiled back, “...I’m glad that your Ok y/n-ya.” he says before pulling you down for another kiss

Grateful

(Sanji x Slave! reader)

(Soulmate au)

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

He knew you existed out there somewhere, he never believed he had a soulmate till the day he learned of the bond through taste. When he was a child still learning to cook he’d get random tastes tingling his tongue and he never knew why until Zeff explained an old story to him about Soulmate bonds. It was perfect in a way, a chef bonded to his soulmate by taste, sadly it seemed you didn’t have a healthy diet. Most of the time you left a bland taste on his tongue or nothing at all. Just when he thought you were gone you’d bless his tongue with a sign that you were still alive but he never liked the flavorless foods you’d eat. When he met you he’d cook for you everyday, let you taste all his new dishes before even Luffy, but when would that day come?

“Hey cook we’re here.”, Zoro called from the deck.

Nami had found a new island, the goal was just to trade in their treasure for bellies and restock on supplies simple as that. Sanji sighed and lit his cigarette to calm his nerves, for some reason he had grown anxious since Ussop had called out the island from the crows nest. He apologized silently, you probably hated the taste of his cigarettes, he’d apologize to you once he met you. The island was huge but everyone quickly noticed the large amount of slaves throughout the streets. Filthy rich bastards held them like trophies at their sides, others belittled them like it was nothing in public, it was disgusting to watch.

“Everyone just get what you need to restock on supplies and let’s get out of here fast. If I stay here a second longer I think I’ll puke.”, Nami ordered watching the poor slaves toil away at their masters orders.

Sanji heart suddenly sank to his stomach, he didn’t know why but further in the city it felt like something was calling him. He disappeared into the crowd tasting something metallic on his tongue, he didn’t like the taste one bit. His eyes widened when he arrived at the entrance of one of the many alleyways in the city to see a man beating on a young (h/c) haired slave. His body moved on its own, his legs igniting into flames as he neared the man. He noticed the blood dripping down your nose and pieced it together, your bond had called him. Blood, the taste on his tongue was the blood running down from your nose, it was you! Through your hazy eyes you briefly saw a flame and then nothing, it all went black but for a moment you thought you heard a ‘Sorry’ in your sleep. It felt like forever until you woke up but the savory melted taste on your tongue made you wake up, you had forgotten about your hunger since it had been so long since you had a decent meal but something about the taste left you wanting at least a spoonful. You stirred awake, slowly you heaved your heavy body out of bed to see your wounds and scars cleaned and wrapped in bandages.

“I look like a mummy.”, you sighed quietly.

“Oh you’re awake that’s good.”, a cheerful voice called scaring you back against the bed.

It was a little talking deer? His appearance seemed to calm you down but he could tell you were nervous and afraid.

“Don’t worry about me, I’m just the ship’s doctor. Does anything hurt? Are you sea sick? Don’t be afraid to tell me I’ll help you as best as I can.”, he cheered, his grin was infectious you couldn’t help but smile back at him.

“Chopper the foods ready go ahe-you’re awake.”, A young blonde smiled softly at you, “Are you hungry? I can bring you a plate if you are.”

You were too overwhelmed from everything going on to actually respond but deep down he could tell the smell was enticing your appetite. Chopper left and so did the handsome blonde, you were alone again. At least you thought you were, your tongue tickled from a soft savory taste that made your stomach growl and in a way you could tell it was the blonde cook from before. He opened the door again returning with a tray of food, he noticed you drooling but he also noticed the trauma of your past taking over.

“You can eat it, it’s not poisonous or anything and you can already tell it tastes good.”, he hummed placing the tray next to you, your eyes quickly snapped down to the warm plate. It had been so long since you actually had something hot and fresh to eat, he was lying he had to be, he’d take it away from you and leave you hungry just like your old master.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want to eat? Here, just a taste please.”, he begged softly holding a spoon up to your lips.

His eyes were soft, his smile sincere, was he actually serious about this? Even with your quivering lips you took the spoon into your mouth and let the soup melt against your tongue. Sanji’s heart broke seeing you break down into tears from just that one spoonful, how long had you suffered to make you cry over food. He could tell you were happy but still it made him sad knowing that you had suffered far worse than he did while waiting to meet him. He moved your tray next to your bed and carefully moved towards you wrapping his arms around your trembling body and softly held you. He didn’t know you all that well, at least not yet but he didn’t need to know so much about you to know that you were going to be happier now that he had found you.

“I love you.”, he sighed hugging you tightly.

Your soft sobs against his shoulder suddenly became louder, how could he love someone like you? It had to be impossible there was no way he was destined to a nobody like you.

“Hush now mon chéri, don’t cry. I’ll never let you go through this pain ever again, I promise I’ll make the rest of your days worthwhile but for now just eat. Eat and get stronger and everyday I’ll make sure you’re full and happy.”, he hummed against your ear softly pressing kisses to your head until your tears stopped.

“How are you so sure about me? I-I’m just a waste of space, y-you don’t even know my name. S-someone as wonderful as you doesn’t deserve a nobody like me.”, you hiccuped wiping your tears away.

“I’m the cook of the Strawhat Pirates, my name is Sanji, and if I’m being honest I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life since I finally found you. I’ve waited for years to finally hold you, (Y/n).”, you gasped hearing him call your name, it sounded like syrupy gold coming off of his tongue.

“Hee...It just feels unreal knowing that someone like you actually existed for me.”, you explained wiping away the last of your tears.

Once you could see him properly you realized just how lucky you were, he was your Angel. He ate with you that night, happy when you shyly asked for seconds and spoiled you with all the simple amenities that you had long forgotten were available for you. You had enjoyed a nice hot bath, soft new clothes that the girls adored on you, and even though you swore the infirmary beds were enough for you, the crew had gifted you your own bed and room. As you enjoyed and dozed off in the soft pillows and sheets you heard a knock at your door.

“(Y/n) I brought you dessert. Try it I’m sure yo-“

“Sanji what’s that?”, you asked innocently shocking the young chef.

“D-dessert, I-it’s something sweet served after diner. A treat.”, he explained.

It was just a simple strawberry cheesecake but when Sanji saw your face melt into a look of enjoyment he couldn’t help but smile. You were to cute for your own good, in just a few hours a whole new you had emerged from your shy broken form and it had Sanji falling all over for you. You were perfect, no matter what lie you told yourself you were perfect in his eyes. Once you were finished thanking him for his cooking he kissed you goodnight on the cheek and left you but your overflowing heart felt unaccomplished...something was missing and you knew it was your fault. You rushed out of bed and swung the door open calling out his name, he stopped just feet away from you and turned to you.

“Yes mon ch-“

“I love you! I’m grateful that I have you now, please make me fall in love even more with you tomorrow. Goodnight.”, you screamed locking yourself back in your room as your face heated up.

Sanji stood in the hallway completely dumbfounded by the way his heart somersaulted against his chest. His face flushed from ear to ear at your confession, if that was your wish then he would certainly do as told. He was your soulmate and he would make sure you were happy with him until the day you died, his wonderful little (y/n).

Something to Protect - Zoro’s Ending

~Zoro’s POV~

I stayed quiet as myself and the rest of my crew, along with [Y/N]’s brothers, Ace and Marco, waited for Law to bring her back from his ship, the Polar Tang. My three swords were sitting next to me. Sanji glared at me. 

“It’s all Mosshead’s fault for letting poor [Y/N]-swan get captured and injured like this.” He complained. Nami smacked the back of Sanji’s head. 

“Now’s not the time, Sanji. You know as well as I do that Zoro would never mean for her to get hurt. He loves her after all, right, Zoro?” Nami asked. I nodded and grunted, not trusting myself to speak. Marco sighed. 

“If it’s anyone’s fault, it’s ours,” he said. I opened my good eye and glanced at the man who looked like a pineapple. “We should have looked harder for her.” He said. 

“It’s no one’s fault,” a new voice rang out. My head jolted up, seeing Law, holding my love in his arms. I shot up. Law looked at all of us. “She needs rest. You can see her when I lay her down, Zoro-ya,” He said. I nodded in understanding and silent thanks at the Surgen of Death. Law walked into the infirmary and lay her on one of the beds. After he did that, I got up and rushed over. Law set a stool down next to her bed, allowing me to sit next to her. I sat down, and took her hand. “She might have nervous breakdowns and nightmares from what she had to endure,” I looked up at Law. “Take care of her, Zoro-ya. She’s special.” He said. I nodded, taking her hand and bringing it to my lips. 

“I will,” I looked up at him. “And thank you,” Law nodded, leaving and closing the door. I sighed, looking at Y/N’s calm, sleeping face. “Wake up soon, Y/N,” I gently placed my forehead against hers. ”I’m not going to loose you like I lost Kuina.” I said quietly. 

________________________________________________________________

~Y/N’s POV~

Darkness. 

That was all I saw. One minute I saw my friends and my family standing before me and the Celestial Dragon, the next, I saw only darkness. I then remembered being held gently in the arms of someone I knew. Their body was warm and comforting. It had to be Ace or Marco. They were the only ones who produced fire, so their bodies were constantly warm no matter what. It had always sparked envy in the crew when they docked on winter islands. The next thing I knew, I was laying on something soft. The sounds of a creaking ship and the smell of disinfectant filled my nostrils. I scrunched up my nose, and opened my eyes, letting out a groan. Once my vision became clear, I saw that I was in a wooden room, laying on a bed. The white sheets covered my pajama clad body. I was wearing my favorite lavender colored nightgown. I felt some pressure on the side of my bed, and I looked over. I smiled and tears formed in my eyes. There, sitting on a stool next to my bed, was my lover, Zoro. I squeezed his hand. Zoro jolted up, and squinted, looking at me. His eyes widened and he held my hand tighter. 

"Y-Y/N, you're finally awake!" He shouted. I let out a sob mixed with a laugh as I reached out my hand for him. He took my hand into his warmer and larger one, kissing the back of my hand. He reached out his other hand and cupped my cheek, gently rubbing his thumb against it. I leaned into it and smiled up at him. Before I had been taken, I had slowly fallen in love with the directionally challenged and determined First-Mate of the Straw-Hat Pirates, and he had slowly fallen in love with me, and thus a happy and lovely relationship blossomed. “I’m so happy you’re alright. Law barley managed to save you.” He said, tears formed in his eyes. I smiled and brushed the tears away as they fell, cupping his cheek. 

“Don’t count me out just yet, My Love,” I said softly. Zoro chuckled and brought me in for a tender kiss. When I pulled away, my eyes looked around the room. “Where’s Father and the others?” I asked. Zoro smiled. 

“They’re all here, on the Moby Dick. They’ve been anxiously waiting for you to wake up.” He said. 

“May I see them? With the First-Mate’s permission, of course.” I said. Zoro smirked and put a hand to his chin in mock thought. 

“Hmm, give the First-Mate a kiss and maybe he’ll let you see your family and friends.” He said. I giggled and wrapped my arms around his neck, bringing him in closer. Our lips clashed in a passionate kiss. I blushed as something prodded at my lips, asking for entrance. I opened my mouth and Zoro's tongue invaded. I moaned slightly as our tongues fought for dominance, Zoro winning. He pulled back a little, looking at me through half lidded eyes. He bent his head down to kiss my neck gently. I sighed in content, placing my hand over his head, my fingers gently curling around his moss green hair. My other hand resting against his cheek. I had almost forgotten how good his soft and slightly chapped lips felt against my smooth skin. Zoro pulled away from the side of my neck. He gave me a kiss before ducking down and kissing my throat, making sure to run his tongue against it, making me moan louder. He pulled away, knowing I was anxious to see my family. He looked down at me, breathing heavily. I smiled up at him, giving him one last kiss before pulling away completely. 

“Am I all clear to see my family and friends now?” I asked breathlessly. Zoro chuckled and nodded, helping me sit up. He took my hand, and opened the door.

My vision was blinded by the bright light of the sun. I covered my eyes with my hand, squinting. Zoro placed his arm around my waist, leading me to where my friends and family were. My eyes widened and tears filled them. There, sitting in his throne, was my father. His eyes met mine and he smiled, tears of his own falling. He opened his large arms. Zoro let go of me, and I raced towards my father and jumping into his arms. Our laughter mixed as we embraced each other, tears of happiness falling. Father sighed and he pulled away, holding me in his large hands. I sat in his palm. 

“My daughter, I am so happy to see you.” He said. I smiled, but then frowned as tears fell from his eyes. I stood up and pressed my hand against his cheek. 

“Father, why are you crying?” I asked, worried. Father brushed his tears away, but they were replaced by more. 

“I-I’m crying because I feel like a terrible father.” He cried. My eye brows furrowed.

 “A terrible father?” I asked. He nodded. 

“W-when your mother died, I-I promised I would p-protect you with my life. I-I failed at that when I lost you at sea. T-then I find you beaten and starved half to death. P-please, forgive me, Y/N.”  Father sobbed. I smiled and kissed his nose. 

“Oh father, there is nothing to forgive,” I said. He looked at me in surprise, his tears still falling but slowly now. “You would have had no idea where I was, if not for Zeo giving Luffy my location. It’s not like the World Government would have just told you where I was,” I gave him a closed eyed smile. “Besides, I knew you would come for me.” I said. Father smiled and closed his eyes. He opened them and the tears stopped falling. 

“You are so much like your mother. You iron strong will, your loving heart and most of all, your sun bright soul that is willing to forgive anyone, only if they deserve it,”  he said. He gently lowered me to the ground, and I joined Zoro, intertwining our fingers. Whitebeard smiled at the happy couple as Zoro kissed the side of my head. He looked out across the people gathered on the Moby Dick. “Now, let us have a feast to celebrate my daughter’s recovery and the alliance of the Heart and Straw-Hat Pirates with the Whitebeard Crew!” Father shouted. My eyes widened and I looked behind me. There stood Law, Sanji and Luffy. Nami and Robin stood with their captain and crew members. I smiled and rushed over, giving each of them a hug. Nami and Robin pulled me into a hug. 

“It's good to see you, Tiger Lily.” Nami said. I giggled. 

~Later That Night~

I laughed as Izo and Jozou had a drinking contest with Marco and Ace. Nami had joined, only because there was Belli involved. I had changed out of my nightgown and into a red, off the shoulder dress. My hair had been pulled back and into a beautiful French braid updo, courtesy of Nami and Robin. Zoro sat next to me, his arm wrapped around my bare shoulders. He smiled down at me. “You can choose, you know.” He said. I looked at him, confused. 

“Huh?” I asked. Zoro gestured to the Whitebeard and Heart crews. 

“You can choose to stay or go with them,” he set down his drink and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my shoulder. “Or you can choose to go with us.” He said. I smiled and cupped his cheek, bringing him into another passionate kiss. We pulled away. 

“I think I’ll leave with you and the Straw-hat Crew. It’s where I belong,” I said, looking out across the activities. I then looked back at Zoro, smiling. “I'll stay here with you, forever and always.” 

The next morning, with a heavy heart, I said goodbye to my friends and family. Ace, Marco and Pops waved down at me.

"Bye Y/N! See you some other time!" Ace shouted, waving both arms wildly. Zoro smiled as he stood next to me, his arm wrapped around my waist. Luffy looked up at Pops. 

“Hey old man,” he shouted, grabbing everyone’s attention. “You just wait! I’m going to become King of the Pirates! Zoro will become the greatest Swordsman and Y/N will be even stronger than you and me combined!”Luffy shouted. Pops laughed. 

“I’ll be looking for that in the newspapers,” Pops looked at Zoro . “Take care, my daughter, Roronoa Zoro. May our paths cross again!” Pops shouted. I laughed as Zoro, the Straw-Hat crew and I all waved to my Father and his crew. Zoro kissed the side of my head. 

“I now have something to protect.” He said. I smiled and hugged him. I knew Zoro would protect me and his crew with everything he had. 

I knew I would return to my Father and my family, one day. And as Luffy promised, I would become even stronger than Luffy and my Father combined. A strong crew member is what is expected of the Future King of the Pirates, after all.

//I apologize for the long wait guys. I’ve been really busy with online college and I’ve just started my job, so haven't really gotten the chance to update in a while. Here’s Zoro’s Ending. Next up will be: My One and Only: Sanji’s Ending. Please feel free to reblog my stories//

[misc-headcanons]

i was thinking about the sad childhood boys (god there are a lot of them) and if it's not too much trouble could you do a fic of Sanji or Ace taking care of a neglected child that's story just hits a Little To Close To Home and get emotional seeing their s/o coddle the kid? thank you very much :)

Sanji/Reader: Too Close to Home

TW: Bullying, abuse mention

Sanji was always happy to be paired off with his s/o whenever the Straw Hats explored a new island, and today was no exception. He had decided to make a date out of it, and had packed a picnic basket full of his darling's favorite foods for them to enjoy together. As the two of them walked hand-in-hand through the market of the one small town on the little island, his s/o stopped and stared off at the entrance of one of the stalls; Sanji followed ____'s gaze and noticed a disheveled little boy, about five or six years old and on the verge of tears as he hugged his knees.

Sanji followed his s/o and the two of them walked over to comfort the poor kid. "Hey," ____ said softly, bending down to be at the boy's eye level. "Are you lost, buddy? We can help you find your mom and dad, if you want." The little boy sniffled and shook his head.

"Uh-uh," he replied, his voice thick and wobbly. "I'm in trouble with my dad. I don't wanna go home…" A few tears started to fall down his face and he buried his face in his knees. "And even if I did, I be he d-doesn't want me to. He…" He started to sob. "H-he hates meeee!"

Sanji knelt down as well and saw his s/o drape their arms around the little boy, who instinctively buried his face against them chest while he bawled and let this stranger console him. "Oh, honey, I'm so sorry," ____ said softly, trying their best not to cry themselves. "Hey, why don't you have lunch with us? We can eat together and talk, and find a way to help you out." She glanced over at Sanji for help, and he put a hand on the little boy's shoulder before giving him a warm smile. 

"Yeah," he agreed, "Let's have a picnic together! It's hard to feel better with an empty stomach after all." He reached for the picnic basket and opened the lid to show the little boy some of the food he packed; immediately, the smell of fresh-baked bread and sweet jam made the boy's mouth water a little as his sobs died down to a bit of heavy breathing and hiccuping cries. Sanji held up one of the sandwiches he'd made. "Do you like croissants?"

The little boy eyed the large flaky pastry and wiped his nose with his sleeve. "Um...I d-dunno," he replied with a sniffle. "I never had a cruh-saunt before." He looked up at Sanji with wide eyes and cautiously accepted the sandwich from him, holding it with both of his tiny hands. "W-will it still taste good if I accidentally get boogers on it?" He wiped his nose with his sleeve again, and Sanji saw his s/o hiding a smile behind their hand at such a question being asked so solemnly and seriously. Sanji nodded, and the little boy let ____ help him up; the three of them left the town's streets and followed a path into the woods where they could enjoy a picnic together.

The little boy sat in between ____ and Sanji, enjoying their company (and delicious food). Not wanting to immediately bring up whatever was bothering him, ____ asked basic questions and made light conversation: "What's your name", "Do you have any pets", "When's your birthday", etc. Sanji and ____ learned that his name was Saeji, he didn't have a pet but he liked feeding the seagulls that came to the beach, and his sixth birthday was a few months ago. After Saeji devoured a cream-filled bun, he wiped his chin and looked up at Sanji and tilted his head. "Do you guys have brothers or sisters?" 

Sanji shifted a little in his seat and nodded silently. "Some, yeah," he replied, hoping he could change the subject as soon as possible. 

Saeji glanced down and fidgeted with his fingers, for some reason not wanting to face Sanji directly. "Are they...are they nice?" His voice was quiet. "Or not?"

Sanji hesitated for a moment and locked eyes with his s/o. He'd opened up to them about his past in Germa, and the abuse he suffered under his brothers and his father. Now that he was on the other side, he wasn't sure what to do or say. Sanji put a gentle hand on Saeji's shoulder, and when Saeji looked up at him again he could see the tears forming in the corners of his eyes. "My brothers were mean, actually," he replied. "Really, really mean."

Saeji nodded slightly and then sat up to hug his knees to partially hide his face as he talked. "Mine too," he replied in a sullen voice. "I'm the baby, so they don't let me play with 'em because I can't keep up when they play tag and stuff." He rubbed his knee absentmindedly with his fingers. "And whenever I try to play, they all gang up on me and trip me so I can't ever win." 

____ put their arm on Saeji's other shoulder to console him. "I'm sorry," they replied softly. 

Saeji looked up at her quizzically. "How come? It's not your fault," he asked.

"I know," ____ replied, "But it's awful that you've been hurt like that by your older siblings. Big brothers and sisters are supposed to look out for their younger siblings, and care for them."

Saeji's eyes were downcast as he rested his chin in his hands, propped up with his elbows against his knees. "I wish they did that," he muttered. "My mom used to put them in time out and stuff whenever they were mean to me, but she's gone. And my dad's always busy at work, so he gets mad when I go to him and ask him to make them stop. He says I gotta 'toughen up and deal with it'...'cause if I keep acting like a runt, they're just gonna keep treating me like one--'specially if I keep tattling." His voice cracked a bit, and he leaned forward to hide behind himself as he started to cry again. "And I know it's my own fault 'cause I can't man up, so they're just gonna keep being mean forever and--"

"Saeji."

Sanji bit the inside of his cheek to take his mind off of the sinking pain in his chest that had been building as Saeji talked about his family; he knew exactly what that was like, and the idea of another kid suffering what he went through left him heartbroken. And when ____ interrupted Saeji's tearful confession, Sanji stared at them, surprised by how firm their voice was. 

____ moved closer and put their arms around Saeji in a sidelong hug. "None of this, and I mean not a single bit of it, is your fault," she insisted. "Nobody deserves to be treated that way, especially by their own family. They don't have to trip you and make you feel like you don't belong, just because you're you." They hugged them a little tighter. "You aren't a runt, you're a kid. And they aren't mistreating you because you're weak or not good enough; they're doing that because they're fuc--because they're...jerks," ____ corrected. "I don't know why they'd do something so horrible to their own family, but you being their little brother and being younger or smaller than them is NO excuse to pick on you. That's what bullies do, not good siblings."

Saeji froze for a while in ____'s embrace and then slowly returned their hug by reaching up to hug them with his small arms. He turned to face them all the way and buried his face in their chest, sniffling and trembling a bit while he clung to them. As he began to cry again, he let them soothingly stroke his head and shoulders. "Th-th-thanks," he hiccuped. "Nobody's said anything nice to me like that...since…" He sniffled again. "Since my m-mom…"

Sanji hadn't realized that he had been crying until he felt the tears sliding down his chin drop and land on his legs. Even with the little bit of support Reiju tried to give him when they were kids, he desperately wished that someone like ____ could have told him that when he was Saeji's age. Even as an adult, there were still nights where he wondered if he really did deserve everything his brothers put him through, if his father was right in abandoning him for not being the son he wanted. But hearing ____ so fervently insist the complete opposite, and give this poor boy the comfort that Sanji's own mom gave him--those brief moments of love that looking back on it, kept him alive when he felt hopeless--it made him more grateful than ever that he had someone like them in his life now.

Rorona Zoro x Child!Reader pt.3

Soft snores filled the boys’ dorm, most of them coming from Zoro and Luffy. Although the snores were noisy, it was comforting.

A low whine broke through the snores and filled the room. Y/N sat up and grabbed his side. His eyes filled with tears as a sharp pain shot through his body. 

“Z-Zoro,” Y/N said quietly, trying to wake up the man sleeping next to him. Y/N shook Zoro’s arm as hard as he could until Zoro’s eye cracked open. Once Zoro saw the tears flowing down Y/N’s cheeks, he gathered the boy into his arms.

“What’s the matter?” Zoro asked, now completely awake. 

“M-My side hurts and it feels all wet,” Y/N cried into Zoro’s chest. Zoro felt the boy’s side and it was, in fact, wet. Zoro pulled his hand away and could see the blood in the dimly lit room. 

“Jesus, you’re bleeding!” Zoro said, voice loud and full of panic. 

“What the hell are you being so loud for?” Sanji peeked his head over the side of his bed to look at the duo underneath him. Zoro quickly stood up, Y/N still crying in his arms. 

“Wake Chopper up and tell him to meet me in the infirmary. Y/N is bleeding from his side,” Zoro ordered as he rushed out of the room, not waiting for Sanji to answer.

When Zoro entered the infirmary, he placed Y/N on the bed. Zoro walked over to the counter and lit a candle so he could see better. 

Zoro placed the candle on the bedside table and walked over to Y/N. The boy was still crying and seemed to be in a lot of pain. 

“I’m just gonna look, okay?” Zoro said. Y/N nodded and let Zoro lift up his shirt. Zoro carefully pulled off the soaked bandages from Y/N’s side. 

There, on Y/N’s side, was a deep cut from what looked like a blade. Blood was still flowing and dripping onto the bed. 

“When the hell did this even happen?” Zoro asked, even though he didn’t really expect an answer. 

“Z-Zoro, it hurts really bad,” Y/N cried. He wanted the pain to go away so badly.

Chopper suddenly burst through the door, catching the attention of the pair.

“What happened?” Chopper asked frantically. 

“He woke up in pain. His side is bleeding pretty badly,” Zoro said, moving away from the bed so that Chopper could start aiding the boy. 

“Please make it stop.” Y/N’s voice was strained and you could almost feel the pain in his voice. 

Zoro had to leave the room because he couldn’t stand to see Y/N like that. He felt responsible for the kid and was ashamed he let something like this happen. 

“Marimo, what happened?” Sanji appeared out of the boys’ room. 

“I-I don’t know. He’s bleeding, and there’s a huge cut in his side.” Zoro was scared. He wasn’t going to let his kid die, not as long as he was alive.   

“Is everything okay? We heard yelling.” Zoro turned around and saw Nami and Robin walking towards them. 

“I don’t know.” Zoro walked away from the group and found himself sitting in the crowsnest. 

How did this happen? WHEN did this happen? Who the hell did it?

Zoro couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on. Just until he remembered what had happened that day. 

Those damn marines, Zoro thought. 

Y/N must’ve been knicked when Zoro was distracted and was too full of adrenaline to notice he was injured.

An hour or so later, Zoro heard Sanji calling for him. Zoro climbed out of the crowsnest and met the cook by the infirmary door. 

“How is he?” Zoro asked. Sanji sighed. 

“He passed out a couple of minutes ago.” Zoro’s heart sank to his stomach. “But Chopper said he’s going to be okay. Y/N is gonna stay in the infirmary tonight.”

Zoro nodded and walked into the infirmary. Chopper was finishing wrapping up Y/N’s side in thick bandages, just in case the stitches tore. 

“You’re keeping him in here tonight?” Zoro asked. 

“Yeah. It’s safer for him to be in a bed by himself.”

Zoro grabbed a chair and pulled it up next to Y/N’s bed. 

“I’ll look over him tonight. You should go back to bed.” 

Chopper hesitated for a moment. He wasn’t sure if Zoro was in the right mindset to see Y/N in such a state, but he also knew that Y/N would be safe with Zoro by his side. 

“If anything happens, come wake me immediately,” Chopper said and left the room. 

Zoro leaned over and let his hand rest on Y/N’s forehead. His head was burning, but that was probably because he lost so much blood. 

“I’m sorry this happened, kid. I’ll make sure this never happens again, even if it kills me.” 

Zoro wasn’t exactly sure how long he was awake, but when he looked out the infirmary window, he saw the sun starting to rise. He looked back at Y/N. If the boy hadn’t been so badly injured, you would’ve thought he was having the most peaceful sleep. 

“I brought breakfast,” Sanji announced as he opened the door. “Let me know when he wakes up so that I can bring him something,” Sanji said, handing Zoro the plate. Zoro just nodded. 

Sanji lingered in the room for a moment, watching as Zoro paid all of his attention to Y/N. 

“It’s not your fault, you know. None of us were aware of it. There’s nothing you really could’ve done.” Sanji tried his best to comfort Zoro, but it was no use. 

“I promised to protect him, Sanji.” Sanji was a little taken aback at the fact that Zoro used his actual name. He must’ve really been upset. 

“This never should’ve happened. If I had been there, this-” A sob that had slipped out of Zoro’s mouth cut him and left the cook in stunned silence.

Zoro quickly rubbed his eyes to stop the tears that threatened to flow. 

Sanji went to say something but was stopped by a quiet groan. Y/N forced his eyes awake and looked around the room. 

“Zoro? Sanji?” Y/N’s voice was low and raspy. 

“Hey, kid. How do you feel?” Sanji asked. 

“I’m okay, I guess. Am I okay?” Y/N asked, looking at Zoro. 

“Yeah, you’re okay.” Zoro ran a hand through Y/N’s hair, a small smile on his face. 

“How about we get you something to eat? You need to help your body regain the blood you lost,” Sanji said. 

“Can I have some pancakes?” Y/N asked. Sanji chuckled. 

“You sure can. I’ll be back.” With that, Sanji left the room. 

“Zoro? Were you crying?” Y/N asked. 

“Yeah...” 

Y/N was confused. Zoro didn’t look hurt or anything, so why was he crying?

“Why? Are you hurt? Do you need to get Chopper?” Zoro gave Y/N a soft smile. 

“No, I was just upset with myself. It’s not a big deal.” Zoro didn’t want to make the kid feel any worse than he already did. Y/N nodded but was still a little unsure. 

“Y/N?” Zoro spoke. 

“Yeah?” 

“I want you to know that I really care about you. I really need you to know that, okay? I would give up my life if it meant you got to live yours.” Y/N was a little shocked, to say the least. 

Y/N didn’t want Zoro to die. Who else would train with him? Who else would carry him to bed when he fell asleep on the deck? Who would wrap their arms around him when a clash of thunder practically shook the ship? Zoro was basically his whole life and here he was saying he would die for him. 

“Zoro.” Y/N’s cracked voice made Zoro’s body cringe. “Please, don’t die. I wouldn’t be able to live the same life without you. I-I need you, a lot.” Y/N tried wiping away as many tears as he could, but some of them slipped by and stained his cheeks. 

Zoro quickly joined the boy on the bed and lifted him onto his lap. Y/N buried his face in Zoro’s chest and clung onto his shirt. Y/N let himself be calmed down in Zoro’s grasp, relaxing with every passing second. 

Zoro looked down at Y/N who was trying his best to stop crying, but a couple sniffles and hiccups sounded every so often. Zoro placed a soft kiss on the top of Y/N’s forehead, something that always seemed to calm Y/N down. 

The room went silent and the two could hear Sanji’s footsteps making their way to the infirmary. 

“Alright, one plate of pancakes, just for you.” Sanji entered the room and walked the plate over to Y/N. Y/N took a bite and it felt like his mouth was in Heaven.

“Mmm. These are so good, Sanji,” Y/N said, his mouth full of food. 

“Don’t talk with your mouth full, you’ll choke,” Zoro warned. Y/N gave Zoro a thumbs up and went back to eating. 

“If you guys need anything else to eat, I’ll be in the kitchen.” With that, Sanji left the room to go prepare breakfast for everyone else. 

Even though the circumstances weren’t the best, Zoro and Y/N enjoyed each other’s company as they sat in the infirmary together.

Toenails and Patches.

Summary: Franky and Usopp patch the ship, and discuss toes and Cooks. (SanUso, Papa Franky) (also the first sentence was from a random sentence generator you can find here! It’s fun. :> )

***

“If you don't like toenails, you probably shouldn't look at your feet.”

The words are so strange, Usopp looks up from the toes he had been glaring at.

Franky is looking at him from across the way, a few nails in his mouth, and a piece of wood affixed to Sunny’s side. He smiles when Usopp looks up at him.

“P-Pardon?”

“Well you’re been glaring at those Toesies so long, Longnose-bro. If ya hate ‘em so much... quit looking,” Franky shrugged cheekily, tapping the side of his nose with a smile.

Usopp laughed, pushing himself up from where he had been sulking, and reached for the other side of the board Franky was holding on to.

“I don’t hate my toes!” Usopp says, hands gripping the wood firmly.

Franky gestures with a hand for Usopp to shift one hand up, which Usopp does, and then Franky sets to nailing the wood to the railing as a temporary patch for Sunny. The ship received some damage in the last storm, and Franky would fix it at the next island, a day out. Sadly, this patch would have to do for now, but it would hold well until they reached the island. Franky was sure of that much.

“You sure are glaring at them though,” Franky mused, “Want to tell me why?”

Usopp wasn’t sure if he did. A whistle caught his ear, and he looked up and behind him. Sanji was twirling and serving the girls some drinks. Lavishing them with attention. Usopp sighed, and looked back at Franky, “Just... I want something I’m not going to get. That’s all.”

“So you’re taking it out on your poor toes?” Franky hummed with a frown, “They don’t deserve to be glared at!”

“Well neither does... what I want,” Usopp huffed, “It’s not his fault... I mean... you know... not their fault I can’t get what I want!” Usopp is scrambling to cover up what he had almost said. Franky pretends not to notice.

“Why aren’t you going to get it?” Franky asked, hammering a nail into the board with one quick strike, before moving on to the next, “Have you tried to get it? Have you attempted?”

“Well, no... but... but it’s just not going to happen,” Usopp said, voice sulking.

Franky looked up where Usopp had been looking. Sanji was surreptitiously watching them out of the corner of an eye. His body faced the woman, but eyes were sneaking glances at Usopp, and Usopp’s proximity to the shipwright. Franky had been a member of the Straw Hats for a long damn time now, and still Sanji watched him like a hawk when he was near Usopp.

Sanji was not subtle. 

Franky looked back at the sulking sniper, and smiled affectionately, neither of them were subtle.

But hell, they sure were oblivious of each other!

“Not unless you try,” Franky mused. He walked to where Usopp was, and offered his hammer, “Wanna put the last two nails in?”

“Y-You sure?” Usopp asked, eyes hopeful and eager, but full of doubt.

“You know what to do, I’ve shown you. I’ve taught you... and Usopp-bro... you’re a damn fine student.

Usopp smiled, eyes shining from the praise, and absent of that hopeless longing. He took the hammer and with confidence bragged, “Why of course I am! I graduated from school at six, and at eight I was offered a doctorate in everything! I turned it down you know! I didn’t want to discourage other hopeful students! Who wants to go to school if there’s already so great to have learned it all?”

Franky laughed, watching carefully as Usopp hammered the wood into place. Usopp was careful, even though the patch job was at the end, and care didn’t need to be taken so seriously. He was proud that Usopp still valued the job so much to take the extra care.

Franky pat Usopp’s back, “Don’t be afraid to try. Not with anyone on this ship. Even if it’s not the answer you want at least you’ll have an answer. And they won’t hurt you for your wants... no one here will.”

Usopp looked up surprised, and Franky smiled back patiently. In the absence of the boy’s father, Franky supposed he would have to be the one to teach him. He didn’t mind in the slightest. With a friendly wink he encouraged, “You can do it Longnose-bro! You’re a brave man.”

Usopp stared at Franky with an open look so young, Franky wanted to smother him in a hug. He held back for both of their prides, or so he thought, but Usopp stepped forward hugging him. The sniper’s arms were sagging with relief, and they gripped as much of Franky as they could.

“Thank you Franky!”

Franky wailed a sob, “Now don’t hug on me like that! My advice isn’t worth huggin’ over!” 

He bent down and hugged Usopp to him, weeping many tears, and making a spectacle of himself and Usopp. Usopp didn’t let go, only smiled and laughed a little, staring at Franky with adoration. Why did the boy worship him so?

Franky wondered if Tom had looked at him in his youth and felt the same way Franky did about Usopp. God, he hoped so.

Franky snorted loudly, drying his eyes, and swatted at Usopp, “G’on now! I need to check some things... and you should really keep thinking about what I said!”

Usopp grinned, and twisting his hands looked nervously up at Sanji.

Franky was pleased to see the cook was practically glaring at Franky, his jealousy boiling over openly. But when both Franky and Usopp looked at him, he flinched, balking as he realized he’s been caught. Sanji quickly straightened himself out and fled to his kitchen.

Slowly, Usopp made his way to the kitchen too.

Franky looked down at his patchwork. It would be a disservice to stare and hope things went well. Whatever happened between those two, was their own ordeal, and they needed to face it like men. Franky ran a hand over the wood of the ship, satisfied with the patch for now.

“Gotta say though Sunny... if that boy messes up with Usopp... he might lose a few teeth,” Franky muttered to himself. 

Franky had a feeling Sunny agreed.

What if Sabo and Zoro said something mean to their girlfriend during a heated fight and their girlfriend running out of the room crying but they didn’t regret it until like hours later where they regret being such idiots and want forgiveness? Sorry if it’s to long 😣

I did one shots since you didn’t specify, but if you would like me to do something else, just let me know! 😊 (sorry if it sucks..)

Warning: swearing (no F-bombs tho)

 Sabo:

He sighed at your ridiculous behavior and turned back towards his paperwork, ignoring your sobbing as you left the room. Somehow the scene just kept replaying in his head. You had kept insisting he stop working and get some rest, but of course you wouldn’t understand. As chief of staff, he had tons of paperwork to deal with, and he needed to get it done, he didn’t have time for anything else. He was halfway through sorting through his paperwork, when koala burst in. “Oh, you idiot!” she yelled, fuming.  “What now?” he snapped back, irritably. “You don’t tell your girlfriend she’s useless and to get lost!” was her reply. “koala, I really don’t have time for this right now…” Koala’s face grew redder than a tomato, “I don’t care! Do you really care more about your stupid work then you do y/n’s feelings?” “well, I- “he stuttered, but she interrupted him, “You made my best friend cry you son of a bitch, so you better go fix it!” she stomped out, slamming the door behind her. He huffed, pinching the bridge of his nose, exasperated. But Koala’s words were starting to sink in, and reality hit him like a ton of bricks. He was in the wrong, He made you cry, he was being an idiot just like Koala had said……. He felt terrible. As he stood from his desk, he finally felt the weight of his drowsiness. ‘When was the last time I actually slept? My God, I’m such an idiot.’ He set off at a brisk pace towards your room. When he reached your door he hesitated, then knocked. “y/n?” he called softly, “Y/n I’m sorry.”

 Zoro:

He only saw your teary eyes for a second before you ran out of the room, slamming the door behind you. “Pfft, whatever.” He scoffed, stalking off towards the training room angerly. ‘Everything I said was true, it’s not my fault she was too weak to take it.’ After taking out his aggression through training, and practically murdering a couple punching bags, he headed back onto the deck to take a nap. He had just closed his eyes when, all the sudden, something hit him in the face, hard. He jumped to his feet, only the see the world’s shittiest cook, swirl brow. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Zoro barked. Sanji was on fire, metaphorically, and literally. “How dare you make poor, beautiful, y/n swan cry! You’re going to pay for it you stupid moss-head!” Zoro yanked his swords from their sheathes violently. “You watch your mouth, Nose-bleed! It’s her problem, not mine!” Then Nami stepped in, glaring at Zoro angerly, “Really, Zoro? Because you were the one whom, and I quote, told her she was a weakling, and you didn’t know why you ever decided to date her.” Zoro winced, He didn’t say it like that……did he? He looked towards the other side of the deck, where you were sitting, being consoled by Robin. He felt a pain like a dagger to his chest. ‘damn, I really messed up…’  He walked over to you slowly. “y/n?” You turned away from him, trying to hide the tears welling up in your eyes. He knelt so he was sitting next to you. “y/n……. look, I swear I didn’t mean it the way it sounded I just…” Robin looked at him and raised an eyebrow. He sighed. “y/n I’m really sorry, I was upset, and I was saying things that weren’t true……. I-I’m so sorry.” He hugged you gently.

Again, sorry if this sucks, I tried.

Missed Chance — Sanji x Reader; Zoro x Reader

Summary: Many things changed in the time you spent in Whole Cake Island, for both Sanji and you. At the same time, a lot happened in Zoro’s life since he arrived to Wano. You’re forced to face the situation and make a choice. So does Zoro. 

A/N: It took me an entire week to write this. Not only because of school, work, and homework, this story on its own was a complicated one. But, I finally did it.  I low key hate myself for writing this since this is an assault to my feelings and my favorite character, but hey, I don’t have control over my creative voice 

*adding an O- before the name is a sign of respect that was used  during feudal japan. This is seeing a lot in Wano. 

Word Count: 4K words (I told you, this was going to be a long one) 

Warnings: Angst. Not precisely a happy ending. Wano (manga) spoilers, WCI spoilers as well. 

“That jerk…” Sanji hissed as soon as the both of you spotted the scene. 

Hell broke loose after Yasuie was killed, and X-Drake made an appearance. And finally, having running away from that chaos, the last thing you remembered was seeing Zoro running away with a girl hanging from his neck. And now, as Zoro lied on the entrance of a small house outside Ringo, said mystery girl was kissing Zoro.

“No. Sanji...” You said grabbing Sanji’s sleeve tightly as your heart continued to shatter more and more with every second “Please don’t say anything” You growled, as you eyes were glued to the scene, torturing yourself until finally the girl pulled back from the kiss. 

“But that asshole just…” Sanji looked at you, clearly angrier than you. However, you were not angry. At all. You were hurt, disappointed, surprised and at the same time dizzy. The world spinning faster than before, as a lump in your throat was pulling you down, crushing your heart with an immeasurable strength. 

“I know what he did” You snapped loudly, as your eyes filled with tears with the same speed your voice lowered “I saw it too” You whispered so lowly Sanji could barely hear. “But this is my business” Your voice was slow and shaky as much as you tried to keep it straight. “Not yours” You added.

Sanji looked incredulous. His empathetic nature immediately made his heart squeeze painfully, as he thought how unfair was for someone as nice as you suddenly was punished. He knew you liked Zoro for quite a long time. In fact, he was surprised that you were still in love with him even after two long years of not seeing him nor hearing anything from him. 

And deep down,he was always jealous of the marimo. Not because it was you.  He wished there was someone who loved him as much as you loved Zoro. It angered him how obvious your feelings for him were, and yet, the swordsman never seemed to notice. Especially now, that Sanji had new growing feelings for you, after what had happened back in Whole Cake Island. 

“I get that you’re trying to help. But please, stay away from it. I’ll see how I’ll handle this” You sighed deeply, as you tried to keep the tears inside by breathing deeply, and focusing on the bigger picture, where the crew and the alliance stood in front of Kaido’s crew. Trying to shut your feelings and bewildered thoughts. 

“Alright” Sanji murmured “But if that idiot makes you cry, or I see you cry because of that jerk, I’ll do something about it, okay?” You loosened your grip on his sleeve, and Sanji’s hand reached yours, squeezing it gently “Do not ask me to see you cry and do nothing about it”

“I will not cry” You reassured him by holding his hand tightly as you tried to recall the recent events from Whole Cake Island to help soothe your pain through gentler, happier memories. 

~

Upon feeling Komurasaki's lips on his, Zoro felt a lot of different emotions hit him at once. Even when he felt attracted for Hiyori, it wasn't enough to make him feel overwhelmed or confused. However, this kiss made his heart beat faster, and at the same time it felt wrong. He was not supposed to be doing this, as to why, he didn't know. It felt both wrong and good at the same time. 

He didn't kiss her back, but he didn't push her away either. Until Hoyori pulled away, blushing, she looked at Zoro. 

Confused about what to do or say next, he opened his mouth, ready to say the first thing that popped in his head. However, they both heard twigs breaking in the distance. As Hiyori turned around and Zoro quickly sat up, his heart shrunk and immediately he knew why the kiss felt wrong. 

The constant tickle he felt in his gut whenever you were close finally made sense when he saw you two standing a few meters away from them. It hit him like a train. The closeness you two always had from the very beginning, an instant electricity pulling you together, he never really thought much of the strong bond tying you together. Not until he suddenly saw you holding Sanji’s hand as the taste from Hiyori’s lips lingered on his. He suddenly realized how further away you were standing now.  Instantly knowing, things would hardly be the same again. 

That afternoon, you met Hiyori, a very kind girl. Throughout the afternoon you avoided the topic, and instead talked about coming up with a new plan, discussing everything that had happened, along with Luffy’s imprisonment and the recent events of everyone blowing up their covers…

You couldn’t help but compare yourself to Hiyori. Everytime she looked back at you ad she smiled politely, it hurt. She was gorgeous, she was kind, she was gentle, you could see why Zoro liked her. You could see why would anyone would like her. It made you think if Sanji liked her too. And suddenly you were afraid that your only company would dissipate as well, just like Zoro did.

The rest of the day, you kept the criticism flowing through your head. Silently pulling you down while maintaining a poker face. The lump on your throat came and went all day long, as you tried your best to keep a straight face. The pain bleeding through your eyes was very well hidden behind a mask looking exactly like your face. Almost as if your usual strong eyes were untouched. 

At night, the cool breeze infiltrated the house, like a gentle howl waking Sanji up in the middle of the night. When he realized his eyes were open, he was lying on his side, facing the spot where you were supposed to be sleeping. 

“[Name]” Sanji whispered sitting up as he looked around the empty house. Zoro asleep next to your empty bed, and Komurasaki sleeping not far from Zoro. Sanji ignored the close distance those two had, his mind focused on finding you. 

The moonlight lighting the house just barely. And it was when he realized the main door was slightly open. Standing up, he silently made it to the door, and slid it slowly so it wouldn’t creek and wake Zoro and Hiyori up. 

“[Name]?”  Sanji purred poking his head outside “[Name]” Sanji whispered when he saw you sitting on the steps and walked closer to you. Your knees were close to your chest, as you hid your face behind one of your hands. “[Name]” Sanji whispered sitting next to you, his first instinct, wrapping an arm around your shoulder “Are you alri—” He stopped when he saw tears falling down the sides of your face. 

“I’m sorry, Sanji…” You whimpered “I said I wasn’t going to cry but…”

“Hey, hey, it’s ok” Sanji murmured pulling you close and hugging you tightly. “Cry all you need. You can’t keep bottling your feelings...It’s not healthy” You hid your face in his neck as you clung to his yukata. 

Whether if it had been his gentle words, or his arms holding you tightly, closely, you immediately broke down crying. Clinging to his clothes, you hid your face in his neck and cried. Your heart shattering more and more with every breath, as if you were breathing broken glass. Sanji didn’t dare to say anything, knowing all you needed right now was silence and a tight hug. 

Your pain was contagious to Sanji’s kind heart. After what you did for him in Whole Cake Island, he couldn’t help but wanting to help you like you’d did for him not so long ago. He wanted to soothe your pain away, just like you’d done with him. He even wished that his arms had the same effect yours had on him. He wished for you to go through the same realization process as he did back when it was you holding him while he cried inconsolably. 

Strangely enough, Zoro woke up to the sound of your soft crying. When not even the loudest noise could wake him up, the very low sound of you being in any sort of danger was enough to wake him up. He sat up, concentrating on the sounds surrounding him. He noticed the two empty beds next to him and the soft wind blowing inside the house along with soft whimpers.

His gut twisted painfully as he realized you were crying, and his lower throat began burning when he realized it was Sanji who was there with you comforting you over his mistake. Following the sound of your voice, his heart squeezed as he heard you speak. 

“I don’t understand” Your voice was shaky “Did I do something wrong?” Zoro peeked from the door as your face was resting against the cook’s shoulder. 

Sanji looked at you and moved lightly, holding your face in his hands, as he rested his forehead on yours, 

“You didn’t…” He whispered “Love, this isn’t your fault…” He assured, wiping away the tears from your cheeks as you kept sobbing silently.

“Love?” Zoro whispered to himself.

“That dumb marimo couldn’t see how you were always there for him, it’s not your fault he’s that blind…” Sanji added as Zoro frowned and bit his tongue, thinking Sanj was playing dirty by adding more wood to the fire. 

“Don’t talk like that about him” You cut him off, very much to Zoro’s surprise. 

“Why do you defend him? Even after you saw them kiss?" Sanji asked confused as you shoo your head and pulled his hands off our face gently. , 

"Have you never been in love, Sanji?” You began looking at him in the eye “Even after breaking your heart you can't help but keep loving them. At least until your heart heals and you're able to move on…" your gaze moved away from Sanji's and it was when you noticed Zoro was standing by the main entrance.

"I'm so sorry, [Name]" Sanji purred running one of his hands through your hair. 

"I am too…" Looking back at Sanji, you felt your chest ache gently. It didn't burn as much as it did earlier, it still hurt, however. 

The guilt twisted Zoro's stomach more and more as he couldn't help but keep watching you and Sanji. The blond kept brushing your hair, staring very gently at you, as you every now and then peeked through your eyelashes to meet his eyes. 

The sweetness in his eyes was new. He didn't use to look at you like that. And you knew exactly when it started. You'd be lying if you said you didn't feel anything new since that event. That night changed everything. It changed the way you felt towards your friend. 

Leaning his forehead against yours, Sanji purred you name, so very softly, so very gently. And you knew what was he thinking. As his face got closer to yours, you were ready to welcome his lips into yours when your heart beated painfully.

"Sanji, don't…" You mouthed upon feeling his nose against yours “The last thing I want right now is to keep adding to the overwhelming mess of feelings I am riht now..." Sanji stood still processing what you’d said and sighed deeply pulling back. 

"You're right...I'm sorry" Sanji answered. 

"It's okay" 

"We should go back inside" Sanji purred as you looked back inside the house and saw Zoro. 

The eye contact between the both of you made his heart stopped dead cold. It felt like an eternity the brief second you two looked into each other. His thoughts slowing down time, as he wanted to both mend his mistake and figure out what was with the sudden closeness Sanji and you shared. 

"Let's say a little bit longer" You said looking away from Zoro and towards Sanji. 

"Whatever it is that you want, love" Sanji whispered kissing your forehead as you rested your head on his shoulder. 

You bought Zoro enough time for him to return to his bed and go back to sleep. Once you thought enough time had gone by, you told Sanji that you were now ready to go back to bed. Silently returning inside the house, you saw Zoro on his bed, not entirely sure if he was asleep or not. Hiyori sleeping next to him, the close space left between those two brought back painful flashbacks as you tried to shake them off. 

Sanji remained next to your bed until you finally fell asleep. The few minutes it took felt long. Long enough for him to fall asleep shortly after you did. Lying just next to your bed, remaining close to you. One of his arms holding you close to him. 

Sharing a bed with you for the second time in just a few days confirmed the feelings that had been sprouting from his heart bringing the answers to the questions in his mind. The night was short, and the morning slightly bitter, since the next morning, Sanji woke up to Zoro's worried inquire. 

"Where's [Name]?" Zoro growled after he checked the house twice, and peeking outside as well. 

Sanji, still deep in slumber recalled his memory, and the last thing he remembered was your smell caressing his nose, your slow breaths cooing him to sleep, and your silhouette lying next to him. 

"What?" Sanji murmured as his eyes adjusted. "What do you mean…" He reached his arm towards his side, where he remembered you were asleep.To his surprise, nothing. You weren’t there. 

"Where is [Name]?" Sanji said, adrenaline kicking in for a brief second.

“That’s what I’m asking, you dumb cook!” Zoro growled, as Komurasaki slid the main door open and walked inside. 

“No need to get grumpy so early, Zorojuro. She’s meditating outside”  She began, her gentle voice actually having an impact on Zoro’s mood. 

Without saying anything, he left the house at once, as both Sanji and Hiyori exchanged look. 

“Zorojuro has told me a few things about [Name]...She surely sounds like a strong woman if she’s able to keep up with his training. It’s impressive” 

“Yeah, she is strong. They were...are very close friends” Sanji answered.

“He told me that too…She’s lucky, for having Zorojuro’s complete and utter trust on her” Sanji looked at Hiyori as she sighed. He could tell Hiyori was feeling slightly jealous, and thought about the irony of the situation. However, he didn’t reply. 

"[Name]" Zoro said walking towards you, as you sat on the ground. 

"Morning…" you whispered turning around briefly, smiling at Zoro and then returning to the landscape. 

"[Name], I'm sorry" 

“About what exactly? You haven’t done anything wrong…” You said, breathing deeply and concentrating on your breath. 

“That kiss...I didn’t…”

“Hey, it’s okay” You sid cutting him off “I’m not mad at you and you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t be apolgising in the first place…”

“[Name]...” Zoro whisered.

“Look, when I realized about my feelings for you, I knew you didn’t correspond to them...and I knew that I was going to eventually end up hurt, so I told myself ‘Hey, we should really make the most of it, enjoy it while we still can’” You said feeling Zoro’s stare on you. “I wasn’t expecting for it to end so soon...But it’s okay, it’s the natural flow of things, isn’t it? I’m okay…”

"[Name], she kissed me, I-I didn't kiss her back I-" 

"Does it really matter, Zoro? Regardless of what happened, my heart aches…” You snapped interrupting him “Besides, she really likes you. She's gorgeous, she's very kind, goddammit she's perfect. And I know you like her" 

"Okay, I like her, but..She’s not you…[Name], I—”

“When did you start feeling things for me, huh? Was it when I told Luffy I was going with him to bring Sanji back? After I got afraid that he might not return?”

“The lack of your presence hit me, [Name]. And I was constantly thinking of you…” 

“I was constantly thinking of you too, Zoro. But that doesn’t mean anything...When I heard Sanji had left, I his departure hurt as well. I was afraid that I was going to lose a friend. That didn’t mean I was in love with him…Just because you were thinking of me doesn’t mean you have feelings for me, Zoro” 

“Then what’s with the sudden pet names and the hand holding between the two of you?” Zoro barked keeping his voice low enough so no  one in the house would listen. 

“It’s not all of a sudden...Many things happened in Whole Cake Island, okay? Are you jealous or something?”

“As a matter of fact, I am” Zoro answered bluntly. “Besides, you don’t get to tell me how I’m supposed to feel. When I said I was constantly thinking of you, I knew what kind of feelings I was feeling. And trust me, is not what you feel for one of your friends, it feels different” He waited for any sort of reply, but you didn’t even dare to look at him. In the end, Zoro sighed bitterly “I’m losing you, isn’t it?”

It took you several seconds to answer, and before you did, you took a deep breath, feeling the anxiety building in your chest 

“For how long have you had feelings for me?” You  finally said.

“I don’t know” 

You gathered the strength necessary to keep talking, 

“Look, you had me for almost three long years…” You began “Zoro, whatever this is, we have to get over it, otherwise we might end up hurting even more people than ourselves…” You said looking at the house where Komurasaki and Sanji were talking on the steps, several meters away from where you were talking to Zoro. “You have Hiyori, and I have Sanji. If we didn’t happen was for a reason. Do not waste a second chance that’s been presented to you” Zoro gazed at the house, looking at Hiyori as your voice faded out. 

Eventually, Zoro and you returned to the small cottage, where Sanji greeted you with breakfast. During breakfast, Sanji and you made most of the talking, telling stories on how’s life for the Strawhat Pirates, funny stories and difficult times you lived. 

Once breakfast was over, you and Hiyori helped Sanji clean as Zoro trained. Once the house was back to its untouched appearance, you sat down to keep talking. However, having barely slept throughout the night, you quickly dozed off while resting your head on Sanji’s lap. 

“You two are very close, aren’t you?” Hiyoi asked upon noticing the gentle way in which Sanji was playing with your hair and the sweet look he was giving you as you slept comfortably. 

“Actually, we didn’t use to be this close. Not until recently. I got into a lot of trouble and she was always there for me. She got in trouble a few times because of it, but she never cared and always returned to my side…” 

“She’s amazing” Hiyori said. “The more I hear about O-[Name], the more fascinating she becomes. She’s strong, she’s kind…” 

“She is amazing, yes. It took me so long to realize how amazing she is…” 

Zoro, finally exhausting his stress through training, and after getting slightly lost, he made it back to the house. He heard Sanji talk before he slid open the door and saw you asleep, and Hiyori talking to Sanji. And after making eye contact with the cook, he spoke. 

“Oi, Erocook, can I talk to you?” Sanji nodded gently before scratching your head gently, waking you up. 

“Angel, can you lift your head real fast? Gotta have a word with the marimo” He whispered as you growled still slumbered and did as Sanji said before resting your head on the floor and falling back asleep at once. “Hiyori-san, would you keep an eye on [Name]-chan real quick?” 

“No problem, Sangoro” Komurasaki smiled warmly as Sanji made his way outside the house with Zoro. 

Zoro was several metres away from the house, looking at the landcape, thinking, breathing deeply and slowly. Even after Sanji reached him, he cook waited for Zoro to start talking, however, he took a while. Zoro was still trying to shut down the voices in his head, and trying to put his thoughts in order before talking. 

Sanji grabbed a cigarette and lit it, asking a deep drag and blowing the smoke into the wind as Zoro finally turned around and faced Sanji. 

“What exactly happened in Whole Cake Island? Between you and [Name]?” Zoro asked bluntly. 

Sanji took another drag and closed his eyes. 

“Have you tried asking her?” He sighed the smoke through his nose as he spoke. 

“Yes, but she didn’t say much…” Zoro said in a low voice. 

“Look, long story short” Sanji began taking another drag “I was an asshole. She punched me in the face. The next day, she slapped some sense into my head , and then sneaked into my room and kept me company even when I told her not to do so” 

Sanji noticed the way in which Zoro clenched his jaw. With another drag, Sanji continued his story 

“She was caught by my family and sent to a prison cell, she then escaped without anyone noticing and returned to my room. I was in a very delicate mental state when she found me, and she stayed with me that night” 

Zoro glared at Sanji who chuckled slightly amused by Zoro’s reaction.

“Nothing like that happened that night...I was hurt; in a lot of pain...not physical pain… anyways, she stayed there, next to me, holding me and comforting me. Eventually we both fell asleep. When I woke up, I was still in her arms”

“So that's how it was…” Zoro whispered. 

“Before that night, I never really thought of [Name] in that way, but waking up in her arms did something to me…Now, I don’t know how this was like for her. I’m just telling you my side of the story.” Sanji concluded

“I am losing her…” Without looking at Sanji, Zoro mouthed, lower than before, still Sanji could hear him. 

“And let me tell you, you are an idiot for letting her slip away” Sanji added. 

“I can’t believe I’m losing her to someone like you” Rising his voice a little bit, Zoro looked up to Sanj, who exchanged a cold glare with the marimo. 

“You’ll have to believe it. Especially because unlike you, I won’t let her get away that easily” Sanji growled taking another drag of his almost done cigarette. “What about you?”

“What about me?” Zoro asked. 

“Hiyori likes you, man. Don’t make the same mistake twice…You already hurt [Name], if you do the same to Hiyori-san, I’ll kick your ass. I haven’t kicked your ass because [Name]-chan asked me to” 

Zoro chuckled bitterly as he looked back into the house. He thought about everything that had happened in the last 24 hours. Still hurt and confused, he remained silent, thoughtful. Maybe you were right. 

 “Zoro, whatever this is, we have to get over it, otherwise we might end up hurting even more people than ourselves…”

He’d lost. He was now well aware of it. And he cursed at himself for not realizing it sooner. For having realizing his feelings for you when it was too late. Although, he knew this wasn’t the end of everything. You’d still be friends, right? You still had to take Kaido down. Maybe, you two would be able to make amends during the mission. Maybe go back to the closeness you two shared, as friends, of course.

As for Hiyori, what could be done about her? Zoro did feel something for her. He thought about the mistakes he made with you, and how he could avoid repeating them. Should he seize his time with Hiyori? He already let his time with you go to waste...H thought about the possible outcome of everything. 

“I’m going back now” Sanji announced turning around and walking back to the cottage. 

In the meantime, Zoro remained there, staring into the landscape. He sat on the ground, ready to meditate, to appease his thoughts once more, and trying to bring some peace and resolution to the sprouting questions in his mind. 

[luffysmeat]

Omg hi, I'm nervous Could you please do an imagine where the s/o is a little traumatized with sex (I don't know if it makes sense to you, but I think ya get it) and she wants to have sex with them but she is... afraid? With Law, Sanji and Shanks? I really love ur blog Sorry about my english

Aaaaah, I hope this is what you wanted! I hope you enjoy these and I'm sorry it took me so long!

Law

You never thought Law would be the cuddly type during his sleep but, once more, you find yourself trapped in his embrace as he snores softly against your neck.

It's a bit hot and his body a bit heavy over yours, but you don't dare to move. You know how hard it is for Law to fall asleep and waking him up means that he'd be in a bad mood during all morning, but it is truly hot, so you can't help but wiggle a little and see how trapped you are.

You are very trapped.

"Don't move," he mumbles against your ear, making you squeak softly. "If you wiggle like that I might-

You freeze feeling him pressed against your thigh: his body is reacting to you and your movements. The feeling of his arousal makes you feel uncomfortable, but you don't move. "I'm sorry," you whisper and he hums. "La-Law," you gasp when his warm and wet tongue swirls around your earlobe, his teeth sinking into the soft skin making it sting just a little, the light pain making a wave of excitement rush through you.

This is okay, everything seems okay. It's Law. It's Law. I'm safe. I'm safe. I'm safe! You say to yourself to calm down your racing heart. The knot in your throat doesn't dissipate, though.

Law tightens his embrace and your heart jumps in fear, your skin suddenly itching uncomfortably.

His kisses travel to your jaw, trying to find the spot that makes you melt, when he finds it you can't help but whimper slightly, the sound making him stop. "What's wrong?"

"Please, no more," you say through gritted teeth and closed eyes, your body is stiff and trembling slightly, your fingers and toes curling. "I- I can't, Law."

Law frowns as he lets go of you, his eyes not leaving you once as he studies you deeply. "What is wrong?"

"I'm sorry, Law," tears start to pour out of your eyes and Law panics, quickly sitting on the bed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"What! Why are you crying? What's wrong?!"

He doesn't want to touch you, he can't stand looking at you crying, so he stays away, just looking at you laying on the bed, covering your face with your hands and sobbing softly. "Sex- sex scares me."

Oh.

He can't help but feel furious hearing what you say. Not at you, but at the reason behind your fear- whatever or whoever that caused this fear on your, it deserves to die and he's sure he can do it with his bare hands.

Law is not good at expressing his feelings, but he really does feel deep inside his heart, so knowing that his lover is scared to be with him because of someone else, really pisses him. He knows it's not your fault, you are the victim here, dragging a trauma with you for god knows how long ago.

"I really really would like to have sex with you, but I can't, I'm sorry." He doesn't want to hear you apologize, you don't have to apologize for goodness sake! "I'm truly s-

"Stop," he sharply says. "Stop apologizing, you don't have to apologize, dammit!"

You uncover your face to look at him, "Law?"

"It's okay if we don't have sex!" He's avoiding looking at your eyes. "We don't- we don't need to have sex, but... You need to know that I will never hurt you nor push you to do things that make you cry. One day you'll... be able to overcome your fear and, no matter how much time it'll take you, I'll be there to support yo- stop crying!"

"I can't help it! You're saying such sweet things! I love you so much!" You sit up and hug him tightly. "I love you, Law."

Law grunts, hugging you back. "I love you too, [Name]."

Sanji

"S-Sanji!" She giggled when yet another playful butterfly kiss was pressed right behind her right ear. "Stop doing that, I'm trying to eat this!"

"I can't help it, [Name]-chan, I love when you do that sound!" He kissed a different spot on her neck and the sound that came out of her mouth was not alike a giggle, it was heavier and, to Sanji's ears, way too arousing. "And that one too."

"S-Sanji, you worked a lot to make this cake and you don't let me- ah!" She gasped when Sanji wrapped his arms around her middle and his mouth came back to the spot that made her insides feel warm. "Sanji-kun, wait-

His kisses felt good, sending pleasant shivers down her back and making her twist this way and that as arousal started to gather in her body, but with arousal came an awkard sensation that she tried to ignore. The clenching in her heart and the drop in her stomach when Sanji's hands gently started to move around her body, touching lightly to make her feel good.

She tried to ignore the fear starting to crawl and grasp at her chest, 'it's Sanji, it's Sanji. It's okay, it's okay, he doesn't mean harm, he just wants to-

"Sanji, please, stop." Sanji let go of her immediately and stepped a few steps back to let her breath.

He heard the wavering in her voice, the fear and the difficulty in her breathing. "I am so sorry, [Name]-chan." His voice is a whisper as he eyed her carefully.

"It's not your fault," she hurriedly said with a hand pressed above her chest. "I really want to sleep with you but... I'm scared."

Sanji worries deeper hearing your voice. Did someone hurt you? How could someone hurt a lady like you? Sadness overwhelmed his heart seeing you so scare and fragile, even shiver a little. "May I touch you, [Name]-chan?"

She didn't answer right away, but letting out three deep breaths she finally nodded and Sanji approached slowly, not wanting to scare her again. "I'm sorry, Sanji," she whispered with tears in her eyes and Sanji immediately wraps her between his arms in a tight embrace, kissing her forehead.

"No, [Name], please don't apologize. It must be hard for you, I wish I knew before so I wouldn't-

"I really want to, though," she cried, holding tightly onto him. "I really want to be with you in all ways possible, but... I'm scared," she sobbed, making Sanji's heart throb.

"It's okay, my love. It's truly okay." Sanji cupped her face between his hands, cleaning her tears off with his thumbs and kissing her nose lightly.

He knows about trauma, he knows one can't just step away of it easily, he knows it hunts you and eats you up inside, keeping you from moving up, but you're not alone.

"You really are not alone, my love. I'm right here with you," he whispered against her lips, the tip of your nose touching hers. "We don't need sex to demonstrate our love. We don't need to do something that hurts you and causes you despair."

"But I do-

"I understand you want to do it, but let's not rush it right now. Let's take our time to overcome this together, hmm? Even if it takes us years, I'll always be by your side, my love."

"Sanji," she sobbed again and he chuckled softly, kissing the tears falling down her cheeks.

"Sounds like a plan?" She nodded, whining softly. "I love you, [Name]-chan and I've got your back, baby. You don't have to worry about anything."

Shanks

"[Name]-chan, c'mon!" He begs with a whiny voice. "You always tell me no! And I'll let you know that's quiet hot, but I kind of can't hold myself back anymore, please?"

Your whole face burns with every word that leaves his mouth, your eyes also burning with held back tears, hearing the begging tone on his voice. "Shanks, please, I told you no already."

"But why, [Name]-chan? We've been together for a while now and it's not like I'm being obsessive but you are truly beautiful and you always block me when I try to make a move! Ah, but, perhaps, you don't want to be with me in that way?"

"I do!" You gasps, lifting your head to look at him. "I really do, but I- I-

"Don't cry! Oh no, please don't cry, love. I'm sorry, I was so pushy just now, I'm sorry. I promise I'll not ask for it again, just don't cry!" He hugs you tightly, rubbing your back with his warm palm.

"I'm scared," you sob into his shoulder. "I'm scared of sex, Shanks."

"What?" He pulls apart to look at your face: wet with tears. "Did something happen to you? Did someone hurt you?"

His worried expression only makes you cry harder as you hold onto him. "I'm sorry I can't give you what you want, I also really want to have sex with you, but, I just can't. I'm so sorry."

He cups one side of your face, wiping your tears away and pressing his forehead against yours. "I'm the one who's sorry, sweetheart," he whispers. "I kept pushing you and begging around without listening to your reasons, I'm truly sorry."

"Shanks..."

"If you want to, we'll work this out together, yeah?" He smiles gently at you. "I'll show you that you are safe with me, love. There's nothing to be afraid of because I protect you and care of you. And even if you just don't want to do anything about this, I'll still love you endlessly," he says sincerely. "We don't need sex to prove our love, do we?"

You smile at him, "thank you, Shanks."

"There's nothing to thank me for! I love you, [Name] and I care about you and I want your happiness forever." He presses his lips softly against yours and that honestly feels more than enough for both of you.

Warning: Angst, blood

A/N: This is only part one!

Word Count: 817

OC’s: Mizu Florence

Sanji stood in front of the door to the sick bay.

The small circular window giving him a clear view of the moonlit maiden sleeping soundly. Her long teal hair frayed over the pillow.

Porcelain freckle dusted cheek exposed as she faced the wall.

Sanji hadn’t had an easy time getting to sleep tonight. He pretty much refused to go to bed. His worry of her being alone kept pulling him back to this spot.

It took him so hours to even leave the kitchen. Triple washing every dish, quadruple checking the pantry, moving from the table to the bar.

Thoroughly scrubbing it down and waxing it until the mahogany surface showed his reflection, even to the stubble on his upper lip.

Setting up every bottle precisely to compliment her sequencing technique, her utensils and tools to where they were the easiest to reach and give her the most comfortable flow.

Down to the symmetrical placement of lemons and limes.

He knew how she liked it.

This procedure was extensive and even extreme in some cases, but as a world class chef with exceptionally high standards for the Sunny’s kitchen, this shared quality pushed his attraction to her even further…

…the idea of her cleaning it so thoroughly and carefully to the slightest singular detail…he felt droplets of sweat form over his eyebrow.

This had taken hours until he finally forced himself to at least attempt to go to bed. However, he had only managed to change into his sleep ware before he was once again back at that door.

The man’s statuesque frame stationed in the same position as before.

In a vicious battle with his mind on whether he should enter.

The events that went on today…the entire crew could feel the weight of shame she carried. Sanji felt it the most…it was as clear to him as the inside of the barrel of the pistol she was forced to hold to his face.

It wasn’t her fault…everyone knew…she knew…but how else could someone feel when they’re used as a puppet to kill the one person they gave up everything in their entire world to protect?

This weight was like a magnet to this door for Sanji.

His chivalry respecting her indecency…battling his love for her…his desire to hold her to make her feel safe for the first time in 2 years.

Her clothes were soaked in blood, evidence of the torture she endured before they arrived, were discarded…her bare body coated in bandages.

A partial view of the blue dragon brand that coated her back could be seen behind her hair, the blanket covering the bottom half.

She was vulnerable...and in a way he could cure, however…he feared he would only hurt her more…what if he couldn’t trust his own desires?

He only wanted to comfort her…but he would be a fool to attempt to deny her beauty and his deep longing for her that has ravaged his mind for the past 2 years…

“Tch…dammit”, he whispered to himself as he covered his face with his hand. Frustrated with his indecisiveness.

“What the hell do I do…?”

A light sob made its way through the glass.

Sanji abruptly lifted his gaze from his grasp to look through the small pane.

His sky blue eyes filling with concern as he noticed Mizu’s body violently trembling, her delicate hands gripping viciously against the pillow.

He couldn’t see very much, but what he could notice of her porcelain complexion was that she seemed more pale than usual and her back was coated in seat.

Could she had been having a nightmare? He was still high in his uncertainty. She was suffering…but of what? If it was a dream, she should stop any moment, right?

Suddenly…a light tab barely broke the silence outside the room as Sanji’s cigarette hit the Sunny’s wooden floors.

He feared his heart stopped beating once he saw the white sheets begin to catch to deep red over her body.

Not a single thought had passed before Sanji had hurled himself into the sick bay, tearing the sheet from the woman’s naked body, exposing her to the chill, to see her hand over a bandage wrapping her side that seeped with blood.

“Oh, no…”, the man whispered in terror as he tried to put pressure on the bleeding to stop it. 

“Shit!”, he shouted to himself as crimson continued to coat his hands.

Glancing toward the woman as her trembling began to cease, his panic rose significantly as he could no longer notice any sign of breathing.

“Mizu?”, the man’s voice shaking in fear as he turned her body toward him, still trying to keep pressure on the wound. “Hey! Come on, say something!”

Silence.

“No, no, no, no! Stay with me, MIZU!”, his voice began to carry in his panic. Checking her pulse.

He felt his heart drop.

He felt nothing.

“MIZU!!!”

[one-piece-dumpster-fire]

Scenario where the straw hat’s chemist (who’s a young boy around the age of 15) starts an experiment and it goes horribly wrong and ends up exploding in his face and blowing out his right eye and burning him severely over his arms? Everybody was out relaxing one day and then suddenly they hear an explosion and some straight up terrifying screams. How would they react when it happened afterwards? (Especially if he says he’s ugly and that it’s okay if they don’t want him anymore)

boo you’re making me really sad here here :(

a very sad Strawhat Pirates scenario

It was a calm day at sea for theStrawhat Crew. They’ve been sailing around for a while now withoutstepping foot on an island, and everyone was pretty relaxed. Usuallythe crazy and unpredictable weather conditions kept the pirates fromenjoying themselves, so when a day was as peaceful and promising astoday came along, they would definitely make use of it. Everyone was doingsomething to cease their boredom- Zoro was training, Luffy, Usopp andChopper were hunting each other with water guns, Nami and Robin weresunbathing while Sanji constantly brought them snacks, and Brook andFranky were performing a funky duet for the rest of the crew. Onlyone person was missing.

(Y/N), the newest and youngest memberof the Strawhat Crew. They only picked him up a couple weeks back,but he quickly became an important friend and irreplaceable asset tothe crew. He served as their chemist, and would often create new potions to help them on their voyage. From deadly poison tomedical cures, the boy’s talent and creativity seemed to know nobound. And even though Luffy, Chopper and Usopp often tried to makehim join the Crew in their group activities, (Y/N) almost alwaysdeclined and preferred to work on his experiments inside of the ship.

„Give it time. He’s new, and dealingwith a crazy bunch like us will take some getting used to.“ Sanjialways assured the three boys when they left (Y/N)’s room with agloomy expression on their faces. And today was no different. Thethree of them had burst into his room, each with a watergun in theirhands and wearing nothing but Swim Shorts.

„C'mon (Y/N), the weather is reallygreat! Let’s play!“

„Zoro is totally focussed ontraining right now, I’m sure he wouldn’t even notice it if we’d hit him with our guns! It’llbe fun!“

„Franky said he’d build you anextra-super water gun if you want to!“

But it didn’t work. No matter how muchthe three of them begged and asked, (Y/N) didn’t want to leave hisroom.

„Look guys- I really appreciate youreffort, but I can’t leave until I’ve finished my experiment.“ Also,you’d probably just get bored with me anyway, he added in silence.Knowing that further pressuring (Y/N) won’t do any good, the threegave up and left his room in a defeated state.

Their gloom didn’t last long however-as soon as they felt the heat of the sun on their skin again allworry was gone and they continued to play by themselves. Everyone was havingfun. No one was prepared for what would happen next.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The sudden sound of an explosion torethrough the air, and a strong quake was shaking the entire ship-causing Luffy, Chopper and Usopp to fall onto their butts.

„What was that?!“

„An enemy attack?“

„No way, the sky is clear and there hasn’t been ship in sight for days!“

„Then what else could it be?!“

All of them were shouting at each otherand no one could grasp what had just happened. That is, untilFranky’s expression turned into pure shock and he rushed to the doorleading inside the ship.

„Smoke! There is smoke coming out ofthe ship!“

„Maybe something catched on fire andexploded?“

„But what?“

„(Y/N) IS STILL INSIDE! WE GOTTA GETHIM OUT!“

In no second, all the other member of the crewalso rushed towards the door and followed Franky into the smoke.

…And it didn’t take long until they knewthe cause of the sudden explosion.

(Y/N)’s room was completely covered insmoke and ashes, with a fire crackling ontop of the table he alwaysused to experiment on. And the young man? He was sitting against thewall, his body covered in dust, ashes, shards of glas and blood.Chopper immediately rushed past the others gathered aroundthe boy, who were too shocked to even move, and started to check on (Y/N).

„(Y/N)? Can you hear me? (Y/N),please answer me!“ Tears started to well up in the littlereindeer’s eyes as he pleaded for his friend to reply. The otherStrawhat’s finally came out of their paralized state and also jumpedto the boys side.

„What happened?“

„Is he dead?“

„No he isn’t, you fool!“

„One of his experiments probably blewup in his face…“

„Oh no. (Y/N), please don’t die!“

Chopper pressed his ear against theboy’s chest, and tears started to flow down his face. „I… I don’thear a heartbeat!“ He sobbed and took a step back while everyonegasped in horror. „N-No….“ Luffy said, trying to fight backtears. Everything turned quiet, and only the crackling of the dyingfire filled the room with any sort of sound. But then- suddenly, asound emerged from the boy’s mouth.

„G-g-g….g-guys?“

Everyone looked down and stared at theboy, who was still lying against the wall.

Robin was the first one to react. Shesummoned a couple of arms and told everyone to put out the fire whileshe and Chopper would take (Y/N) to the treatment room. The othersjust nodded, still way too overwhelmed with what had justhappened and followed Robin’s directions, while she and Choppercarried (Y/N) away. It took less than a minute to put out the fire,but it felt like hours for the Strawhat’s. Everyone was still tryingto understand what had happened and if (Y/N) would really make it.

Meanwhile, Chopper was quick to performfirst aid on the injured boy. „Luckily, none of his wounds appearto be fatal,“ he explained to Robin before swallowing hard,„however, his right eye was blown out by the explosion, and hisface and body suffered severe burnings, which… he might never fullyrecover from.“ Another sob escaped the reindeer’s throat as hecleaned up the boy’s body. Robin simply nodded, since there were nowords needed. Nor was there anyway for her to express how devastatedshe felt right now. Oh god, (Y/N)…

A few seconds after Chopper finishedtaking care of (Y/N)’s worst wounds, the rest of the crew rushed intothe room. They all tried to enter at once, and for a moment got stuckin the doorway as a result. Chopper’s treatment room immediatelyfilled up with people gathering around (Y/N) and asking the little doctor all sortsof questions regarding the boy’s condition.

„Will he wake up?“

„Is he okay?“

„Idiot, of course he isn’t!“

„Do you know what happened?“

Chopper was too overwhelmed to answereven a single one of the questions, so Zoro screamed for everyone tobe silent and let Chopper explain.

And after he was finished with his report, no one dared tomove a muscle. Everyone was completely silent. They remained likethat, standing by (Y/N)’s side completely motionless for what feltlike hours.

When suddenly, (Y/N) started to coughout again.

„y-y-you g-g-guys… I’m…. s-sorry,I… I messed up… t-t-the experiment….“ Nami had to cover hermouth in shock at the sight of (Y/N)’s burned body. Zoro and Sanjilooked to the side, unable to face (Y/N). Franky and Brook bothsobbed and fought back tears. Robin stood in silence. Chopper, Usoppand Luffy all started to cry.

„M-m-my eye…. it- it’s gone……isn’t it?“

But no one replied.

„I…I….I’m probably lookinghideous right now…“

Utter silence.

„I-I’m so useless…Y-You should justthrow me into the ocean…“

And suddenly, someone screamed. It wasLuffy.

„(Y/N)!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE ALIVE!“ Hisface wasn’t recognizable due to a mix of his snot and tears dripping tothe ground.

„WE WERE SO WORRIED!!!“

(Y/N) was shocked for a moment, but then violently shook his head until he had to stop due to the pain souring through his body.

“N-no, you don’t understand… I am worthless… I-I damaged the ship… I can’t do anything right… j-just… get rid of me…please”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the room started to break out in chaos.

“Why would you say that”

“(Y/N), please don’t tell me you mean it”

“Listen, this wasn’t your fault and….”

“QUIT JABBERING SUCH NONSENSE, IDIOT!”

Zoro’s voice ripped through the air and everyone immediately shut up.

“When we asked you to join our crew, what did you say?”

“I–I said yes, b-but-”

“And when you first came aboard, we celebrated you as our new nakama, right?”

“I-I don’t-”

“And we wouldn’t have done that if we’d get rid of you because of something so stupid, fool!”

“…”

Everyone was visibly shocked at the way Zoro talked to the young boy, but silently, they had to agree with him. (Y/N) was a member of their crew, there was no way they’d abandon him.

“Taking someone onboard as a nakama isn’t something someone does on a whim! It’s a decision that can last a lifetime, and if you don’t get that then you didn’t pay enough attention.”

(Y/N) simply stared at the green-haired man, too shocked and suprised at his outburst to reply. So instead, Luffy stepped forward.

“He’s right, (Y/N). No matter how lowly you think of yourself, there is no way any of us would share those thoughts.”

Now Usopp took a step towards his bed.

“Y-Yeah! We all mess up, but that is just what it takes to be a part of this crew. And no matter what you’ll look like, you’ll always be our precious nakama.”

Chopper nodded in response.

“And I will treat you the best I can! I don’t care if you never wanted to play with us, that didn’t make me like you any less!”

Franky sobbed again and wiped away a tear with his massive hand.

“If you want to, I can build you a replacement for your right eye. It won’t be the same, but it’ll definitely give you back your full sight.”

Robin smiled at (Y/N).

“I’ll bring you my best books to read until you’ve recovered.”

Nami winked at the boy.

“And I will buy you some stylish clothes to hide your scars, if you want to.”

Sanji lit a cigarette and took a step forward.

“Suit yourself. From now on, you’ll be on a strict diet. I will supply you with food that will help you recover as fast as possible.”

And lastly, Brook made a spin and took out his guitar.

“Yohohohoho! And I shall perform my most energetic songs for you, to keep you entertained!”

After everyone’s speech, silence returned once more to the room. (Y/N) didn’t know what to say, but tears started to drip down his face.

“Y-y-you all…”

Everyone smiled before assuring him one last time,

No matter what, we’ll get through this together!
