❤️ + Portada pls!! -🍂

Part 2 of this!

❤️ first kiss / realization

Something was terribly, horribly wrong. 

Ace had first noticed it at breakfast. He had stuffed his plate with as much bacon as Thatch would let him get away with and sauntered over to his usual spot, wedging himself between Yara and Marco. The First Division Commander had greeted him as per usual, but Yara didn’t even bother to glance up from the saddest bowl of oatmeal Ace had ever seen; the only garnishing on it two solitary raisins. 

(He knew for a fact that she didn’t even like raisins. They reminded her too much of the crappy communion wine at the convent she grew up at, she’d told him once, scrunching her nose up in that adorable way she did whenever she found something particularly unsatisfactory.)

Throughout the rest of the day, things seemed to only get worse. She kept her gaze down and her answers monosyllabic whenever he tried to interact with her-- and that was when she didn’t outright leave the room as soon as he entered. 

“Trouble in paradise, yoi?” Marco had asked him when he caught Ace moping around on the Moby Dick’s upper deck.

Ace let out a massive, depressed sigh in response, draping his arms over the gunwale. Part of him almost wished a strong gust of wind would come along and knock him into the water. “I think I did something wrong, Marco. I haven’t seen her this upset with me since before I officially joined the crew.”

The doctor placed his hand on his friend’s shoulder. “You need to talk to her about it. I’m sure whatever it is can easily be fixed. Yara may be stubborn, but she’s not unreasonable.”

“That’s… true,” Ace conceded. He stood up straight, his determination renewed. “I’ll go find her. The sooner I can sort this out, the better.”

“Good luck, yoi,” Marco said, giving him a firm pat on the back. 

And that was what led him here, hanging out near the entrance to the mess hall, biding his time. There was no way that Yara could avoid him forever… could she?

“Ace.”

He instantly perked up, a relieved grin spreading across his face as he caught sight of her heading towards him, a file stuffed with papers tucked under her arm. She, however, did not return his joy, but instead stared emotionlessly back at him as she handed him the file. “Pops said to give this to you.”

He nodded, receiving it from her. “Oh, thanks! …Right, these are the maps I wanted to see.”

Yara gave him a curt nod in return before pivoting back towards the entranceway.

“Wait, where are you going?”

She stopped, turning to face him again, her eyes narrowed. “I came. I gave you the file. And now I’m leaving.”

“Yara!” Ace called out after her, dropping the file onto a nearby table. He reached for her hand, but his fingers passed straight through her. His brow furrowed, confused. Now she was using her Devil Fruit powers with him? She never did that.  

“I’m not in the mood, Ace,” was all she replied, her tone icy.

His entire body wilted, heart thudding pitifully in his chest as she left the mess hall without so much as a second glance. Oh, he had definitely fucked something up. 

☠-----⚔-----☠-----⚔-----☠

“Yaraaaaa…” Ace knocked on her bedroom door. “Can we talk? Please?”

He held his breath, waiting. Finally, after a moment, the latch clicked. Yara opened the door a crack. She was wearing her nightdress, her loose hair cascading down her shoulders. Ace couldn’t help but notice the dark circles lingering under her eyes as she stared at him. 

Swallowing, he took a step back. “Hi.”

“It’s late, Ace.”

“I know. I couldn’t sleep.”

“Then I suppose you’ve come to let me down easy,” she said with a sigh.

His brow furrowed. “Let you down what?”

“Never mind. I shouldn’t delay the inevitable. Shall we go somewhere more private than the living quarters?”

Nodding, he allowed her to step out of her room before following her down the hallway. She led him down the stairs and outside to the second level balcony. The stars glinted overhead as the Moby Dick gently careened along its path, cutting through the ocean’s calm surface. Yara leaned against the railing, the faint breeze catching the edge of her nightdress. Just the sight of her underneath the moon’s light was enough to make Ace’s stomach twist into knots. 

He sucked in a breath. There was no way he could let this go on any longer. “It’s the stupid dare thing, isn’t it? That’s why you’re upset with me.”

“I’m not upset with you,” Yara replied evenly. “I’m upset with myself.”

“What? Why?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Yes, it does. It matters a lot. Especially if I… if I did something to hurt you. Please, Yara. You’re…” He swallowed. “You’re one of my best friends. Whatever it is, I’ll make it right.”

Yara glanced away from him, a conflicted look flickering through her eyes. “I… made a foolish miscalculation,” she said after a moment. “I thought that… perhaps you might…” She hesitated. For a moment, he could’ve sworn he saw a faint blush spread across her cheeks. “That, well… That kissing me wouldn’t have been as intolerable for you as it evidently was.”

“Intolerable?” His brow furrowed. “Kissing you wouldn’t be intolerable.”

“Oh, please.” Her glare narrowed as it returned to rest on him. “You dragged your feet and then turned away at the last second. How the hell else could I possibly interpret that, Ace? From my standpoint, it was a fairly obvious rejection.” 

Ace’s heart was practically beating out of his chest as the realization slowly dawned on him. “Hold on a minute. You… wanted me to kiss you?”

Yara’s nose scrunched up, her mouth drawing into a tight line like it did whenever she was frustrated by something. Finally, she turned away with a sigh. “…You’re an idiot of the most hopeless variety. Let’s just forget this ever happened.”

“Yara, wait.” He reached towards her, catching her hand. This time, her flesh stayed solid, and he curled his fingers around hers as he pulled her in. 

She let out a surprised gasp as one of his hands moved to her waist, the other tenderly cupping her face. Her skin felt so soft as he lightly stroked her cheek, the butterflies that had been nesting in his stomach bursting to life. 

“Last night, I really, really wanted to kiss you,” he breathed. 

“Then why didn’t you?” she whispered, eyes widening as his fingers traced along the small of her back. 

“Because I didn’t want our first kiss to be something either of us would regret,” he confessed. “You’re too special to me for that.”

“Ace…”

“I never thought I’d meet someone like you, Yara. Someone who just… accepted me so easily. Who didn’t care at all about my good-for-nothing father. The last thing I ever would’ve wanted is for you to think I only kissed you because Haruta dared me to, and not because I’m madly, stupidly in love with you, and I have been ever since Pops brought me onto this ship.”

Her eyes went unnaturally wide. “What?”

“Oh.” Ace blinked, his hand leaving her waist to awkwardly scratch the back of his neck. “Shoot, did I just say that out loud?”

He took her stunned silence as an affirmative. “So, uh… would it be okay if I kissed you now?”

“Please,” Yara breathed, leaning in. Their foreheads pressed lightly together, noses brushing as they revelled in each other’s warmth. His arms wrapped around her waist, the cotton fabric of her nightdress bunching between his fingers as he pulled her tight to his chest. She clung to his bare shoulders, the tips of her fingers smoothing along his collarbone, each feather-light touch setting off fireworks in his stomach.

“You’re so beautiful, Hellcat,” he murmured against her lips, feeling her breath hitch. 

“Kiss me already, Fire Fist,” she whispered, the neediness in her voice sending a jolt of pleasure throughout his entire body, small flames flickering involuntarily off his skin.

He wasted no more time in closing the gap between them, lips slotting into place as if they were always meant to do so. The whole world ceased to exist around him as their mouths moved in sync, the taste of her flooding his senses, all the pent-up love he’d kept locked in his heart for so long finally flowing freely through him.

One hand slowly drifted upwards, tangling in her long violet hair as he cupped the back of her neck, pressing himself forwards to dip her down, stealing a tiny gasp of air before continuing the kiss. He could feel Yara’s lips twitch upwards, the sensation making him grin into the kiss as well. 

They broke away, foreheads coming to rest against each other’s as Ace cradled Yara’s cheek in his palm. “I love you,” he admitted. “I’m sorry for not telling you sooner, and for being such an idiot last night.”

Yara laughed softly. “After that kiss, you’re definitely forgiven. And I…” Her face flushed, looking away for a moment before returning her heterochromatic gaze to meet his dark eyes. “I love you too, Portgas D. Ace. You dummy.”

“You love me too,” he repeated, unable to keep himself from grinning wildly. His heart felt as if it were on fire, burning with an intense, aching passion. I never thought I’d ever hear anyone say those words to me. I’m hardly deserving of them, yet… Yet it still feels so nice.

He slipped an arm around her waist, letting her rest her head on his shoulder as they both gazed out at the moon and stars beyond. “So… where do we go from here?”

She shrugged. “Wherever we want, I suppose. We’ll figure it out together.”

Smiling, he pressed a kiss to the top of her head. “That sounds perfect.”

alvita’s endless ocs ⇝ an introduction

ft. Satomi Kurosawa (Spiderverse)

EDIT: as of 4/8/2024, Satomi’s star sign has been changed to Capricorn

Satomi Kurosawa is the daughter of Hanzo and Chihiro Kurosawa and heiress to the tech company KumoByte. Said to be exceptional in the field of computer science, the young woman has since disappeared from public view after a severe driving accident, a self-sentenced exile for her car spinning out of control when she was behind the wheel. During this banishment, a masked vigilante named Prowler successfully bypassed the security measures in the mansion, but Satomi managed to hack into his headgear and shut his tech off from within. Removing the helmet revealed a young boy whose name was Miles Morales, a teenager who had recently lost his father to the cartel lurking in the shadows of New York, and who wanted revenge on those who benefitted from the suffering of people like him -- those who were on the top rung of society, like Satomi. Surprised at the boy's proclamation, Satomi revealed the true reason she left society: she had suspicions that someone in her closest circles was leaking information to the cartel. The car crash was only the start, as Satomi believed that once the cartel got wind that she wasn't leaving the city, it was only a matter of time before they tried something else to get her out of the game and fought for her position as heiress. With similar objectives, Satomi offered her help to Miles, stating that her ability to hack into any digital database available would be useful if he wanted to do this without many noticing. Miles accepted her offer a few days later, and Satomi took on the persona of the Master of Spin, a digital figure that lurks between lines of code, waiting for its prey to wander in their spun trap. One particular night, Satomi was journaling her latest exploration into the web when the internet went out -- then came back on in seconds. Sensing something strange at work, she immediately started to look for the source of the blackout; only to be interrupted by her bodyguard Miguel O'Hara, and a few moments later, Miles in their encrypted chat. Her partner had found something... something that might be more dangerous than the sinister six that loomed over Satomi's home.

❛ nope, puppy dog eyes aren’t going to work this time! ❜ from the soft prompts pls? -🍂

More Portada? More Portada.

“Yaraaaaaa…” Ace’s muffled voice came from the other side of the door. “C’mon, I know you’re in there. Let me in, please?”

Yara crossed her arms, glaring daggers at the door’s wooden surface as he continued to knock. “No.”

“Pleeeease?”

“Not a chance, fireboy.”

“I’m sorry, okay?”

“You might be, but I’m still not opening the door.”

“Alright, I’ll just… wait out here, then. Maybe forever, if I have to. Second Division will just have to find a new commander, I guess.”

Yara let out a sigh, shaking her head in dismay. She had no doubt he really would neglect his duties until she cut him some slack-- and as the Whitebeard Pirates’ Second Division’s vice-commander, that wasn’t something she could allow. “Fine, have it your way,” she muttered under her breath, striding forwards to open the bedroom door. 

Ace’s expression lit up as it swung open, but the hopeful glint in his eyes quickly dimmed once he saw the annoyance written all over her face. “Uh… Hey, baby.”

“Don’t ‘hey, baby’ me,” Yara said flatly, resting one hand on her hip while the other rose to poke him in the chest with an outstretched finger. “I told you, ‘those are extremely flammable, don’t touch them.’ And what did you do?”

“I, uhh… I touched them?”

She pinched the bridge of her nose in irritation. “And now three weeks’ worth of dried Calendula officinalis is gone.”

“I know, and I’m sorry. Now can I come in?” Ace’s dark eyes widened as he met her gaze, giving her the saddest look he could muster up, like a kitten that had been left out in a rainstorm. “Please?”

She clenched her teeth, her mouth drawing into a tight line. The bastard was actually pouting. There was no way she was going to let him cute his way out of this. “Nope, puppy dog eyes aren’t going to work this time.”

“Maybe not,” Ace said with a sigh. “But…” A grin slowly crept onto his face as he unfolded his arms from behind his back. His hands were clad in blacksmiths’ gloves, and held tightly in them was a bushel of flowers. “This might.”

Yara’s brow furrowed as she took them from him, examining them closely. “Wait, this is…”

“Calendula officinalis,” Ace finished for her. “It’s marigold, right?”

“Yes, but… how did you know?”

He laughed, looking a little sheepish. “I do listen when you talk. …Most of the time.” 

“Ace…”

His expression turned sombre. “I’m really sorry, Yara. You deserve better than this. You deserve to have someone who doesn’t burn your plants.”

“Ace, don’t say that.” She placed the flowers down on her dresser and stepped towards him, cupping a hand over his freckled cheek. “I’m the one who should be sorry for getting angry over something so stupid.”

“It’s not stupid. You spent weeks drying those flowers and I was being careless. You only got mad at me because I was the one who screwed up in the first pla-- mmph!!”

Yara didn’t even let him finish as she leaned forwards, gently pressing her lips against his. Her hands moved to his chest, palms feeling the warm surface of his skin, the side effects of his Devil Fruit emitting a comfortable heat. 

Ace reacted quickly, one arm sliding around her waist as he feverishly kissed her back, his other hand reaching up to stroke her cheek. Yara closed her eyes, revelling in the ecstasy of their connection, mouths melded together, moving in sync as they had done hundreds of times before.

“So,” he breathed as they broke apart. “I take it you’re not mad at me anymore?”

“I wasn’t mad, just… disappointed at your poor listening skills and utter lack of impulse control.”

He pouted. “Yara, that’s way worse.”

She let out a soft laugh, reaching up to card her fingers through his hair. “It’ll still take me a few weeks to dry them out, but… thank you, Ace.”

“It’s the least I could do.” 

“But that you even thought to replace them… I…” She hesitated for a moment before meeting his eyes, unable to keep the tenderness from her gaze. “I don’t know what I’d ever do without you.”

Ace smiled, leaning in to press his forehead against hers. “Luckily, sweetheart, you’ll never have to find out.”

🧣+ Yara!! -🍂

From chapter 4 of the fic!

ask game here!

For context:

Ace glanced around at the chaos, his attention zeroing in on two men who were struggling to pull one of the ropes attached to the mast.

“I can’t get it, Commander!” one shouted.

“I think it’s stuck!” the other added.

“Wait, let me see!” a familiar voice called out.

Ace’s breath hitched as the violet-haired girl emerged into his line of sight. Her bare feet splashed through the puddles that had begun to form on the deck, hands gripping the sides of her flower print dress as she ran towards the two men. A golden hairclip pinned her hair behind her head, keeping it out of her face in spite of the wind and rain. She turned her attention upwards, her head moving ever so slightly as she traced the rope’s path up to where it connected to the mast. How can she possibly get a good look from all the way down there? It’s--

“I think I found the problem!” she shouted at her commander. “The rope came free from one of the pulleys! Should only take a second to fix!”

(she then proceeds to climb up the shroud (the rope ladder-looking thing hanging off the side of the ship) while wearing this in the middle of a storm lmao)

ok so the story here is that I was looking for a silly Christmas sweater to force upon Yara for this prompt but then I came upon this and it gave me the STRONGEST Ace/Yara vibes EVER so I had to draw 'em both! (Rescuing Ace from his impending execution? No problem; Yara's on it as soon as she notices something's slightly off with his vivre card. Matching Christmas sweaters, however? Now that's going a little too far lmao it took him nearly a week to get her to agree to it)

relationship asks: 40 to 50 for Portada?? emphasis on 48 bc potential Law interaction 👀👀 I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been down lovely :(( sending good vibes your way and there’s no way you can dodge them <33 -🍂

Aww thank you so much Alvita!!! I appreciate it a lot!! <33

40) What's a secret one would never tell the other?

Well, they know each other’s MAJOR secret (i.e. their parentage) and Yara also told Ace about what really went down on Phestris Island with Cipher Pol (when she acquired her Devil Fruit) so I feel like the secrets that they end up keeping from each other are really petty. Like, “I accidentally broke your favourite mug but you assumed Thatch did it and I never bothered to correct you because I didn’t want you to be mad at me”

41) If they had to spend a month apart, how would they fare?

They probably spent at least a month or more apart during Ace’s Blackbeard hunt (before the battle on Banaro Island and its, shall we say, “aftermath”) and while neither of them was happy to be apart from the other that long, they managed to cope alright. They had a piece of each other’s vivre card (Ace had folded his into the shape of a heart before he gave it to her) and could see that the other was doing well through that, and they wrote letters back and forth the whole time. Ace sent Yara a bunch of goodies from his travels, too. Mostly stuff he stole for her.

42) If someone else assumes they are romantic partners, how do they react?

I’m assuming this is before they’re officially together, back in the pining stage lol but Yara handles it with a shrug and a “he’s not my boyfriend, actually” (which Ace has to pretend doesn’t sting nearly as bad as it does). She gets a bit flustered, but is overall pretty good at keeping her racing heart under control (or at least not letting it show on the outside). Ace gets a lot more noticeably flustered. If he’s alone, he probably wouldn’t bother to correct the person (like if a merchant assumed he was shopping for a girlfriend) but if Yara’s there he’ll more vigorously deny it because he doesn’t want to make her uncomfortable— for awhile he just couldn’t fathom the concept of her actually liking him back (poor boy thinks he’s unlovable)

43) If someone else assumes they are blood relatives, how do they react?

They’d think it’s more funny than anything. They look nothing alike. It’d probably become an inside joke about how they wouldn’t wish that fate (being the child of [Ace’s father] or Mihawk) on anyone.

44) If they had to squeeze together in a cramped space, what would happen?

Poor Ace lmao he’s trying his best not to think dirty thoughts (especially before they’re together). If they’re together at that point, though, he might take the opportunity to make a suggestive comment. Depending on the situation, he might even get his wish lol

45) If one of them was in trouble, what would the other do?

Well, Marineford lol — there’s a reason their otp tag is “I’d burn the world for you”— Ace in a more literal sense because of his Devil Fruit, but there’s no lengths Yara wouldn’t go to in order to protect the light of her life.

46) If they could each have one wish related to the other, what would it be?

Yara wishes Ace would be able to fully realize and accept just how loved he really is so he can start to love himself and understand that his life has worth, his existence isn’t a crime, and he deserved to be born.

Ace wishes that Yara and Mihawk would repair their broken relationship and by extension that Yara would accept and embrace who she is. He wants her to find that sense of belonging that she has been searching for her entire life.

47) If they had to solve a complex puzzle together, how would it go?

Yara solves it. Ace watches with his chin resting on her shoulder making unhelpful suggestions and getting shushed in return lol

48) If they swapped bodies, how would they handle it?

It’s too bad Ace and Law never met in canon cuz they’re both gunning for the competition of One Piece’s Most Traumatized, Mentally Unwell Man lmao (Law would probably win on the virtue of Ace at least having Luffy as a surviving family member whereas poor Law lost pretty much everyone, including Corazon ofc) but let’s just say they get hit with Law’s Room powers and that’s how it happens (for the sake of this question I’m also assuming they get full access to each other’s Devil Fruit powers lol)

Ace and Yara know each other’s bodies pretty well so it wouldn’t be completely traumatic for them. Ace is mostly amused by it and spends most of his time playing around with walking through walls and sticking his hand into solid objects. Yara also takes Ace’s powers out for a test drive— she’s always wanted to know just how powerful he really is, so she definitely goes to stand over by the ocean and lets out a few “HIKEN!!!!”s, just for the hell of it. They’re both relieved when they go back to normal, though.

49) If one of them wanted to split up, how would the other react?

If it was earlier in their relationship and they came to the realization that they worked better as friends, they would be able to go back to that state without too much grief. If it came after they’d been together awhile, though, neither of them would take it well at all lol if Ace initiated it, Yara would become petty and angry and vengeful and tbh would probably never speak to him again. If it was Yara splitting up with Ace, then he would get extremely depressed. It would make him hate himself infinitely more than he already does— just another confirmation that he doesn’t deserve to be alive.

50) If they had to write their future selves a note, what would it say?

“Dear future Ace and Yara,

Wherever you are, we hope that you’re happy together and that you both found the peace you have been searching for. We hope that you’re able to fully accept the love that the other person has to offer, and that everything turns out okay in the end. Sometimes it’s hard to see that either of us really will have a future, considering everything we’ve been through, but we hope it exists, and that you found it in good health and spirits. That’s a lot of hope, but times have been dark lately and hope is all we have that we’ll come out the other side alright. But maybe, as long as we have no regrets about the way we chose to live our lives, then that’s all we can ask for, even if one or neither of us makes it out alive.

Here’s to the future, and to hope.

Present Ace and Yara.”

OC outfit ask meme: 🔆 ~ Casual/Everyday

Me: Yara is a skilled swordswoman and the literal offspring of Dracule Mihawk Also me: *never draws Yara with a sword* (she trains with Vista every day so I think this still counts as the prompt?) Anyways the sword's name is Yoake. It's a kokutō (black blade) said to be forged from the scraps of other legendary blades many, many years ago for a young prince whose hands were yet too small to wield a proper sword. Its comparatively tiny hand grip and thin blade have led some sword enthusiasts to deride it as a "glorified letter opener", yet like other kokutō, it remains extremely durable and can be a devastating weapon when wielded with skill and precision. Yoake fell into the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates after a successful raid against an enemy fleet, where it was then gifted by Whitebeard himself to his "daughter" for her sixteenth birthday.

🎀 + Yara!! (totally not me begging for more lore nope) -🍂

You want Yara lore? You'll get Yara lore! lol

🎀 Do they wear a specific accessory with a special meaning behind it? What is their usual fashion sense like? What do they wear when they want to be comfortable and what do they wear when they’re going to a fancy party? Or do they just not care?

I think this is a good opportunity for me to talk about Akiko's hairpin! Putting it below a cut because it got long lol

Shimotsuki Akiko (also known as Hanamurasaki) was the daughter-- the only child-- of the former Daimyō of Ringo, the famous samurai Shimotsuki Ushimaru. She worked as an oiran in the Flower Capital and would pass on intelligence to her father and his allies. When Orochi and Kaido took power, she resisted and was murdered for opposing them.

Akiko's father Ushimaru had given her a hairpin with the Shimotsuki crest on it for her sixteenth birthday. It was a family heirloom that had once belonged to his sister, Furiko, but she had left it behind when departing Wano. (Furiko, as you may know, would go on to marry Roronoa Pinzoro). Akiko treasured it and wore it proudly. When she was attacked by Kaido's men, she used it as a weapon to fight back. It was found clutched in her hand, covered in blood.

The pin was returned to Ushimaru after his daughter's death. He then passed it onto Akiko's lover and the father of her child when begging him to take the three-month-old baby and flee Wano before things got worse. The lover agreed, and did as he asked, returning to the Paradise half of the Grand Line.

When Dracule Mihawk left his infant daughter at the Sisters of Heavenly Mercy Convent on Phestris Island, he placed the pin into her tiny hand, only telling the nuns that it was "a memento of her mother."

Sixteen years later, Bravada Yara would ask her crewmate Izou about it, not missing the way his face immediately paled at the symbol of two crossed swords etched into the head of the silver pin. "It's definitely from Wano," was all he would ever say about the matter.

(As for the remainder of the question, I know I've talked a bit about Yara's fashion sense but to reiterate: Practical, but classy. Short skirts/dresses. Easy for a swordswoman to move in. No overly bright colours. She's a bit picky, lol).

#oc: bravada yara #asked and answered #chats with alvita #yara doesn't actually wear akiko's hairpin until the wano arc #she was always too afraid of losing or damaging it #since it's the only thing she has of her mother #the only physical proof her mother even existed #she had no idea who her mother even was until mihawk finally told her the story #it's a big part of why she goes to wano #then when she changes into her wano clothes she puts it on #because kaido needs to Know just who's coming for him #that the spirit of Shimotsuki Akiko survives through her daughter #as does Ushimaru's #izou Knows who yara is (or is at least pretty certain) but he doesn't want to tell her in case he's wrong #and he gets her hopes up for nothing #so he's just really vague and kinda elusive about it (while keeping an extra protective eye on her because her grandfather was oden's ally)

🍐 + Yara pls!! -🍂

🍐 What is your OC’s mentality? Are they overall positive? Negative? A bit of both? Describe their thought patterns and reasoning behind their choice making!

Jumbo OC Ask Game

Yara describes herself as a realist. She doesn't see a point in being overly optimistic or overly pessimistic. She's most interested in assessing the most likely outcome of a scenario as well as the standard deviations. She has Future Sight Haki, so that has impacted how she's likely to make decisions in terms of clearing her mind and focusing on possible outcomes of any situation.

#oc: bravada yara #asked and answered #chats with alvita #yara just likes being practical lol #to use future sight you really have to clear your mind and not let your emotions get in the way #so because she has trained like that that tends to be how she approaches most of her decisions #it doesn't always guarantee a good outcome though #especially if there's factors involved she can't predict #(like knowing exactly what teach's devil fruit powers were) #(she would've tied ace to a chair if she had known about the yami yami no mi) #but she had only ever seen ace lose to whitebeard before #and there's no way teach was as strong as whitebeard #therefore she assumed ace was stronger because she knew he had conqueror's haki too #supporting him was a reasoned decision #but in the end an incorrect one that she'll lie awake and think about in the middle of the night for the rest of her life

Yara x Ace + if they had a kid 👀👀 -🍂

This is the consequences of 🍩 not happening lol

Admiral Sengoku: WDYM THERE'S ANOTHER ONE-- (cue Garp chuckling in the background)

Name: Portgas D. Shiro (they name him after Whitebeard)

Gender: Male

General appearance: He has wavy black hair (like his father and paternal grandfather) and big golden eyes (like his mother and maternal grandfather). And inherits Ace's freckles too, of course.

Personality: Ace and Yara were both awful little menaces as children and Shiro is no different-- he's stubborn, headstrong, fiery, and determined to make his own way in the world. But on the other hand, (assuming Ace and Yara stick around to raise him), he has a much more happy childhood than both of them. Ace makes sure that his own son NEVER questions whether or not he deserved to be born, not even for a second. Shiro fortunately misses out on the angsty phase Ace went through and ends up being a lot more cheerful and happy-go-lucky right from the start. Still kind of an arrogant little brat sometimes though.

Special talents: He's great with a sword and ends up inheriting his parents/grandparents' haki abilities as well. He probably gets some OP devil fruit powers at some point, too.

Who they like better: Yara. He's a mama's boy.

Who they take after more: Ace.

Personal headcanon: One day, Shiro (the cocky little shit he is) ends up challenging Zoro for the title of the World's Greatest Swordsman and gets his ass kicked badly LMAO but Zoro sees some promise in the kid and agrees to take him on as a student, if only to repay the man who mentored him for two years by in turn mentoring his grandson.

Face Claim: Kevin Vechiatto (who is a One Piece fan so it checks out lol)

🌠 + Yara!! -🍂

🌠 Who was your OC’s first friend? Do they remember them or are they still friends now? Talk about some of the people your OC has lost contact with over the years. Do they have any regrets about losing these people and would they revist them if they could?

Jumbo OC Ask Game

Yara didn't really have any friends growing up lol she would sometimes play with the other orphaned girls at the convent but she didn't end up becoming super close with any of them. They just found her kinda weird and off-putting so she ended up getting excluded most of the time. The person she was closest to at the convent was Sister Martha, the librarian, who was always kind to her and showed her new books she thought would pique her interest.

The first person who ever called Yara a "friend" was Thatch. She was so surprised by it and a little bit confused as to why he would want to be friends with her (he's like twice her age and a fearsome Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, after all), but he just smiled and said that now that they're on the same ship, they should be friends.

She lost contact with pretty much everyone at the convent. That was mostly Cipher Pol's fault, though. Yara can't exactly return. She's a wanted criminal now. It'll put everyone in danger. (In the montage of random civilians before Ace's execution in episode 459 or 460, there's a nun praying on a seaside cliff in the Grand Line and I headcanon that she's one of the girls Yara grew up with).

#oc: bravada yara #asked and answered #chats with alvita #ofc this is a bit different in crossovers with other ocs where yara does in fact have more friends #she can always use more friends #she's very lonely #she didn't really have close friends her age until meeting the spade pirates #she keeps in touch with the former spade pirates btw #even after marineford and the payback war #once she returns from her self-imposed exile on kuraigana island she finds out where everyone went #and gets in touch with as many of them as possible

release the Portada hat hcs right now I dare you -🍂

as you command heheh

Ace is very protective of his hat. Yara is the only other person on Whitebeard’s crew who is allowed anywhere near it.

It’s slightly too big on her, so it kind of slides down her forehead a bit and she has to constantly keep pushing it up. Ace finds it adorable.

The hat thievery is one of their bits that they’re both absolutely committed to. It started back when they were “just friends” with Yara stealing it off of his head one day and taking off with it. Nowadays, the bit goes like this: Ace places his hat somewhere within Yara’s vicinity. He leaves and waits for her to take it, and then will come back and pretend he can’t find it until he sees Yara took it, to which he will pretend to be all like “oh no! Give my hat back you thief!” Yara usually sticks her tongue out at him and says “If you want it so badly, then come get it” and then will take off running. He chases after her until she lets him catch up. (With Yara’s Devil Fruit powers (the Tōka Tōka no Mi/Pass Pass Fruit), it’s pretty much impossible to actually catch her if she doesn’t want to be caught since anyone who tries to grab her will pass straight through her body, so when Ace is actually able to grab hold of her, it’s only because she allows it). It typically ends with them both in fits of laughter, and Yara gets to keep the hat until she decides to return it. The "punishment" for stealing the hat, Ace insists, is to be paid in kisses. (The hat shenanigans also ends up with at least 3 members of the WBP telling them to get a room).

Yara also steals it on her own. Usually when he’s passed out in his food or on the deck somewhere. It’s sort of a game to her, how long it’ll take him to realize the hat is on her head and not his. (One time it took over half an hour before he figured it out. Thatch timed it. Him and Yara were trying their hardest not to laugh, wondering when Ace would realize what was up).

Giving her his hat is one of the ways Ace makes Yara feel better when she’s sad or when her abandonment issues start acting up and she needs some reassurance. Kind of like how Luffy gave Nami his hat in Arlong Park, Ace will take it off and gently place it on her head as a way of saying “I’m here with you. It’ll be okay.” It works every time.

He also likes to place it on her head whenever he has to do something that’s better off not having a hat on for. “Take care of it for me, yeah?” (To which Yara responds, “Always do.”)

It can be kind of a possessive thing for him, too, especially when there’s lots of unfamiliar people around. Like “yeah, she’s mine, back off.”

He also gives it to her when he’s about to throw down with someone. Shit gets serious when the hat comes off and some poor fool is about to learn the meaning behind the nickname “Fire Fist Ace”.

Whenever the hat gets damaged, Yara is usually the one who mends it.

Long story short, Yara loves that hat as much as Ace does. It’s just as common to see it on her head as it is on his.
