One Piece Dance Series

Masterlist Here

A series of one-shots where you, the reader, get to dance with your favourites. Written with a f!reader in mind, but can be read gn.

Lambada: Shanks

Waltz: Sanji

Can't Dance: Zoro

Bachata: Luffy

Tango: Mihawk

Flamenco: Rosinante/Corazon

Jack and Jill: Buggy x reader x Mihawk

Foxtrot: Koby (coming soon)

Bolero: Garp (coming soon)

Cabaret: Zoro x reader x Sanji (coming soon)

Notes: some of these fics are from my earlier works. This was the first series of one-shots I've began. Looking back on a few of them, I feel second hand embarrassment on some of the language and writing style - but I can see how much I've developed over time, so I'll leave them up.

The Dance Instructor

Part 2: Marco’s dilemma 

The blond arrives home with a skip in his step, a happy humming in his throat and bright eyes. He managed to get off early today thanks to the project getting a few days ahead of schedule, allowing him to take rare time off for himself while in the middle of a new production.

Which means he could spend that time with his fiance.

 Ace had been putting in some extra hours in work- something to do with helping Luffy which honestly didn’t surprise him- and though they did live together and saw each other in the mornings it wasn’t the same as when they both had time to be together.

Not that Marco was mad at the raven haired man because he too worked long hours and most of the week. It would be hypocritical of him to expect Ace to wait at home for him and get mad when he tried to work harder. He couldn’t expect to have his other half put him above everything else in his life. 

That wasn’t how relationships work if you asked Marco. Equal respect and communication were key, and with Ace, he found that. Most of his past relationships didn’t understand, many angered that his family and his work were first when the relationship began. 

Not Ace. no Ace nodded with an approving smile  while saying “If you ever try to distance me from Luffy I would kick your ass!”

 This happened on their third date and the first time Marco thought he could truly love the man for the rest of his life. 

Ace made him feel young. Being with him was like a never ending adventure, that left Marco on his toes. He was learning new things about the raven haired man all the time, surprises at every corner. He loved it.

Now almost two years later, he was going to be marrying that man. The thought always warms his heart because he managed to snatch the best man on the market and Marco was damn grateful Ace thought of him as worthy.

That’s why he always tried to sweep him off his feet at any opportunity available. 

Glancing down at the roses he bought on a whim- Ace loved romantic gestures like these- the blond smile grows. He knows his fiance doesn't work today meaning he wouldn’t be expecting him home until late. 

Wouldn’t he be surprised to have the blond take him out to eat? Maybe go walk on the beach afterward and if he was up to it have a nice night of lovemaking or talking, either was fine with him-

“Wow! You’ve gotten better Ace!” Luffy’s voice echoes as he opens the door. The blond blinks. Was Ace’s brother visiting today? A lovely upbeat instrumental song was playing from the speakers somewhere making Marco raise an eyebrow.

That wasn’t the usual music those two listen to. 

He peeks into the living room to see the likeliness of sending the boy home so he could have his date night. As expected the loveable ball of sunshine was sitting on their large couch upside grinning at a sweeping Ace.

The coffee table was pushed to the side, making a clearing in the room but other than that the place looks clean enough- i.e not like a raging tornado stormed though-, meaning he hasn’t been here for long. 

Hmm. It seems that sending the boy home wasn’t going to happen but that’s fine with him he could do a date night some other-

Marco’s jaw drops doing a double take. 

No, he wasn’t sweeping, he was dancing. Ballroom dancing. With the broom.

Ace’s hips moved in ways he’s never seen before holding onto the broom like a person. He steps to the beat of the music, gliding around the room movements both smooth and jerky. Marco watched astonished as the moves started to make sense to him.

Mambo. Ace knew how to Mambo?

“Thanks, Lu! This is one of the easier dances for me, maybe because it’s so fast paced. I still have a little trouble with the others.”  Ace chirps letting the broom go to do some single shakes and steps that came with the dance.  “I’ll practice the foxtrot and the quickstep after this one.”

What?

“Shishishi. You can do those ones though. Practice the tango stupid Ace.” Luffy claps his sandaled feet together once again proving his yoga instructing license. “Or the Viennese waltz!”

“Yeah, I am a little rusty on those...” His fiance says stopping in the center of the room in an ending pose as the song come to a close. Marco almost swallows his tongue at the way Ace’s body shakes those last few beats.  “I mean I don’t know the kind of dances for the reunion so better safe than sorry.”

The reunion? Oh no...

Marco backpedals out the hall until he’s outside shutting the door as quietly as he can. Once he safe,  he runs a panicked hand through his blond hair. His formal family reunion was in two months.

He knows most of the ballroom dances from watching his numbers family members- Pops ran a chain of orphanages and all of them were family- glide across the rooms. Every year they do different dances and he’s seen them all. 

The thing was Marco himself didn’t know how to dance.

He had been riding on the idea that Ace was like him but obviously his wonderful incredible little spitfire, knew how to and was damn good at it too. Shit, he was going to look like a fool trying to keep up.

Ace literally admitted knowing five of the twelve most common dances, meanwhile, Marco could barely two step! 

The hell? Where was he hiding this talent? Sure they’ve gone out dancing before plenty of times on dates but those were always to night clubs or concerts...and maybe that had been Marco’s doing as he only had to jump up and down a bit to pass off as dancing. 

He starts pacing flowers gripped in one hand. Maybe, he wouldn’t have to dance? He could always tell Ace he was too tired-

The thought gets shut down immediately as he thinks about the smile on that freckled face just now. No telling Ace he didn’t like dancing when the other clearly loved it wasn’t going to work for him. He wasn’t that strong to fight against that pouting face. 

Then what do I do? He thinks desperately pacing faster. How can I learn five different dances in such a short time!?

Marco stops mid-step mind launching onto one word. Learn. As in classes. As in a teacher. As in a chance to not look like an idiot!

Hope restored he pulled out his phone speed dialing the one person who could get him anything at any time. 

“Hello?”

“Izo! Sorry for calling out of nowhere but I was wondering if you knew any good dance instructors in my area yoi.” The man whispers into his phone eyeing the front door in case the brothers popped out.  “I need one that can teach multiple ballroom dances. Someone who can teach me in two months.”

His brother is quiet for a moment making him worry that maybe he jumped the gun before Izo purrs “Oh I know just the man. His name is Sabo Outlook and let me tell you, darling, he’ll have you in top shape for the reunion. I’ll get his contact information and send it to you in a bit. Oh and Marco? Make sure to say you’re trying to impress Ace. Trust me, Sabo will make you irresistible.”

A few days later, when Sabo shows up to his house for their first private lesson session- Ace being out like he plan, these classes need to stay under lock and key forever- Marco realized why Izo sounded like a cat looming over a cornered mouse during that phone call. 

Irresistible was a good word to use. Marco couldn’t look away from him. Was this man even real? What kind of romantic fantasy novel did he escape from and why was there no warning of his beauty before hand? 

The dance instructor’s knowing smile as he started his first lesson- Mambo, The best thing Ace is good at- was like a soccer punch to his gut. “Your fiance is very lucky to have a man like you Mr. Newgate. I think it’s cute how your learning for him. You know I have a student in my community classes who is doing the same thing. ”

“Really yoi?” He smiles taking the started position a bit stiffly. Sabo gently guided his body into a more relax and correct form. 

“Really. It’s adorable.” The small blond smiles up at him, and Marco’s heart leaped. Shit, this was not part of the plan.  “Shall we began?”

i don’t feel like dancing no sir no dancing today

drunk me’s headcanon says Ace loves dancing and is hella good at it but only does when tipsy because he's embarrassed. Luffy moves to a beat fine but gets distracted, but Sabo is actual shit on the dance floor.

Like, he can probably waltz just fine, maybe foxtrot if it's faster, but unstructured dancing? Club stuff? How do? (I just need him failing at things.)

which strawhat is the best/most willing to poledance tho, is the real question

[multi-wild-imagines]

Ayyy I didn't have enough space to say this in the matchup request but I like your writing so far and hope you have fun with this imagine blog! I wish you the best of luck! Also can you please do some headcanons of Law, Zoro, Luffy, Sanji, and Nami dancing with their S/O? I thought that this was a cute (and possibly funny) idea.

I did moreof a explaining/scenario response? I dunno but I hope it’s okay. Also I’m sorryfor that most of the dances I chose are Ballroom dances. I really didn’t dothis right….. Sorry if you want I can make headcannons for these dances of eachone… I dunno I’m sorry :o  (Also I thank you for the kind words I appreciate it! c: )

Law- Bolero:Well honestly he isn’t really at all fond of dancing; he doesn’t mind others ofcourse but to ask him to dance? He’ll refuse more than you can count andeventually gives in to Bolero. He’s gonna be very uncoordinated with his stepsand leading his partner properly. He looks away often allowing you to both to misstepand tumble over.

Zoro- Foxtrot:Not practically that fond of dancing either but he’s most likely willing to doone where it doesn’t make himself seem like a fool (or at least what would embarrasshim). Foxtrot is the one dance he is keen to learning this for it allows himnot to have to do as much.

Sanji- VienneseWaltz (Not Vietnamese that is Vietnam and Viennese is Vienna, Austria): Probablymy absolute favorite ballroom dances and/or dances in general honestly. It’sperfect for such a gentleman whom won’t allow his s/o to escape his arms. Hisfootwork is outstanding; he is very patient if he is teaching you (if you didn’tknow it yet that is). He’d love the moments where he can picks them up. He alwaysmaintains strict eye contact and

Nami- BellyDancing: She’d love to practice Belly Dancing with her partner but even morejust dressing up. She’ll always find new outfits for them both. And the jewelryis a must; bells and jingles is the one thing she absolutely loves to hear thosechimes in rhythm of her partner.

Luffy- Danceor not if you consider it but just imagine him doing The Cha Cha Slide!!!! Imean it works too well does it not?! He’d get tangled up while just reversing andinevitably falls. He loves doing it with his entire crew (That’s even if mostof them will) and best of all his s/o.

I enjoyed this; it was a little difficult to find some that seemed appropriate. I’m also not at all familiar with types of dances but I hope it’s good!

CLOWN PRACTICE E12S CLEEEEAR

Fic Inspo

Dance fic series alert! I'm going to be writing a series on what it would be like to dance with the OPLA characters in differing styles: classic ballroom, fighting, solo, etc. West-Coast Swing TikTok has me in a choke hold at the moment.

Video Source: Swingtimate 2017 (Ben, Emeline & Jakub)

On the list so far:

Sanji: Waltz (Edit: link here for fic!)

Buggy: Swing (Edit: link here for fic!)

Mihawk: Tango

Zoro: Capoeira or sword dancing

Luffy: Bachata (EDIT: @bonedaddi3 selected This and I'm SCREAMING)

EDIT: Shanks: Pub Jig

EDIT: Koby: Foxtrot

I really want to write a throuple (see video above), but I can't decide which 2 "bread" for the sandwich: Zoro x reader x Sanji, Mihawk x reader x Buggy, Shanks x reader x Buggy - I could even see Luffy x reader x Zoro/Sanji at this stage!

Let me know if you had thoughts! ❤️ Also, the only song so far decided is Sanji's. If you had a particular song about the others particularly springing to mind, I would love to hear it to gather more inspo!

“We were staying until then anyway!” (original quote) 

[luffyfoxtrot]

I give up trying to come up with a not stupid title. So have a stupid YouTube video of a stupid thing in FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn (AKA that stupid game where the stupid devs like playing stupid music that makes you stupidly feel stupid feels) with the stupid Ixal, with a stupid title that my stupid sister decided on because every other stupid title I stupidly thought of was too stupidly stupid.

Stupid gameplay included because of a stupid friend who won't play this stupid game so I decided to be stupid and rub it in his stupid face.

I totally adore this game btw but sometimes it's just too much to handle and makes me need to sit down.

[luffyfoxtrot]

Me and Rose are yelling at each other through asks...

WORMHOLES AND LACK OF PHYSICS AND ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS AND PONIES AND CUPCAKES AND STUFF.

Also me complaining about my lack of romantic appeal, but that's kinda expected. I am not attractive in the least. Being awesome =/= being attractive.

Derp. Doesn't help that I know practically nothing about love and/or relationships, so I'd be kinda pathetic when it comes to being romantic or some shit like that.

I know NOTHING.

ALSO. CUPCAKES. I WANT SOME OF ROSIE'S CUPCAKES. *winges like a child*
