Beyond the sea
─Luffy x mermaid!reader
─Summary: Venturing outside the established limits made you meet what could be your soulmate, you are completely grateful for having disobeyed your father a little.
─Warnings: inspired by the movie ponyo.
SOOOO, this is a wonderful collab with @alicedash2, who had the idea, if you liked the topic you can check out her post too!! and Here is her Wattpad account in case you want content in portuguese! :p
Tumblr media
Luffy took firm steps across the uneven terrain, a frown lingering on his face as he huffed angrily, Ace and Sabo didn't let him go up to the treehouse, so he decided to go to the beach to see the ships that came and went from Foosha Village port, he swung his arms until he finally reached a small cliff, he went down a clear path where the rocks were more worn until he reached the shore and kicked the water, still a little annoyed with his brothers.
His eyes scanned the sea, seeing how Shanks' ship was near the port, he smiled when thinking about the redhead, he waited impatiently for him to tell him more stories about his adventures, and he would also ask him again to be part of his crew.
"Huh?"
His gaze stopped at something floating near his, childish curiosity urged him to get closer, regardless of whether his clothes got wet, he cringed because of how cold the water was but he continued until the water reached up to his thighs, looking sideways, he found a stick floating next to him, he used it to poke the floating thing until it turned over, it was a fish.
"What a strange fish, it has human face… will it be edible?"
He continued poking until he saw how the fish's eyes opened, while his gaze shone, yours darkened as you noticed how he woke you up from your nap, sipping some salt water, you spit it right in Luffy's face with impeccable aim.
"Hey!"
You laughed internally as you saw his change of mood, using his stick to get away from you, you bit it preventing him from hitting you, he began to shake it up and down, making you dizzy as you were still chewing on the wood, Luffy ended up falling to the ground, the water level already on his chest, you swam in circles around him studying the human while he wiped the water off his face, he laughed as he watched you do some tricks in the water, forgetting his previous anger with his brothers, he spent the afternoon next to you on the shore.
You had ventured out of the depths of the sea, in a moment of confusion on the part of your father, you managed to escape to be able to see what was beyond the depths of the oceans, you had always been warned that you should not go up, but curiosity of a child is much stronger.
You really liked listening to what the human said about everything he did on the surface, and he seemed to be entertained by the way you swam and played with some crustaceans that were nearby, you didn't even realize that night was falling until Luffy sneezed because the cold settled on his body.
Neither of you seemed to want to separate now that you had begun to enjoy each other's company, so the boy quickly went to look for a bucket where he could carry you. You waited patiently on the shore until you saw him appear with a big smile and a green bucket, balancing it in his hands, he filled it with water and you jumped into it, a little uneasy at the reduction in space.
"I'm sure Ace and Sabo will be so jealous that I found you first, I'll rub it in their faces for not letting me go up to the treehouse! Oh, and you have to splash them when you see them, that will be fun."
You listened in silence as he ranted about his family, attentive to every anecdote and fact, you smiled when you saw his house in the distance, the wood on the walls was a little splintered, the interior didn't have the best decoration either and everyone seemed to have already started eating dinner without wait for Luffy.
"Why is everyone eating without me!? I'm going to starve because Ace will eat everything!"
"Stop complaining kiddo, we left a separate plate for you, what do you have there, boy?" Dandan leaned over to see you swimming in circles in the bucket "Did you bring fish for us to cook?"
"No way! She is not food!"
Ace raised his face from the plate on which he had crashed, Sabo sighed, passing a napkin over his brother's stained cheeks, both looked curiously at what Luffy had in his hands and approached.
"What is-?"
When both brought their faces closer to the bucket, a stream of water soaked them completely, Luffy laughed at their surprised expressions while you jumped, hitting his hand in a weird “high five” for the joke. They calmed down a bit after that as hunger won out for now, your mouth watering and delighting at the meat that ─somewhat reluctantly─ Luffy shared with you, although he probably stole some from Sabo to give to you.
You returned to the surface often after that day, your father became suspicious of your disappearances, but your mother was a little more permissive, over time, you developed powers that allowed you to transform, you could become a human or a combination of human and fish, with legs and arms but being parts of an amphibian, your relationship with Luffy became closer to the point that you did nothing if not together, you were rarely separated from the boy unless you were in the depths of the sea.
Your relationship with Ace and Sabo also grew closer, you enjoyed their company, you appreciated the things they taught you, Ace gave you some self-defense lessons while Sabo helped you understand some concepts and provided you with valuable information about the terrestrial world.
Normally you would rather watch them do their fighting tournaments, because you weren't that interested, plus they didn't like it either because you always won, even though you defended yourself by saying that using your mermaid magic wasn't cheating, you didn't care enough and you decided to observe in silence and write down each one's victories.
You competed with Ace on which of the two of you fainted more times a day, the use of your powers drained every ounce of your being, and Ace's narcolepsy was in competition, Sabo kept track of how many times you fell asleep during a day, while the blonde protects his brother's head from being hit, Luffy usually holds your body close to him when you start to rub your eyes drowsily.
Like this time, you were both on the same cliff as the first time you met, Luffy hugged you, your head rested against his shoulder while your eyes struggled not to close, the sunset was very beautiful, although at first you were just here to flee from his brothers for playing a joke on them, the moment seemed to be perfect to watch how the sky was stained with warm tones.
Luffy mumbled your name as he saw you closed your eyes, shaking a little, he said something you weren't aware of, giving a lazy yawn, you rubbed your eyes, opening them to look at him.
"Can you… can you repeat what you said?"
He chuckled as he saw your almost passed out form in his arms, nodding.
"I said I would be the king of the pirates and I asked you if you wanted to be part of my crew, I bet not all pirates have mermaids as companions! Shanks at least doesn't have one on board…"
As if Luffy's excitement had awakened your consciousness a little and gotten rid of the tiredness in your mind, you lifted your head from his shoulder like an owl, gave him your best smile, nodding effusively, you grabbed his hands with a new glow in your eyes, you had always heard the three brothers arguing about pirates, thinking that Luffy would include you in his plans delighted you.
"Of course! I will crush the sea creatures that try to break our ship, I will help you be the pirate king Luffy!"
Luffy laughed vigorously, tightening the grip he still had on your hands, both of you shaking them in some kind of weird greeting, like an agreed promise.
It was something you planned to accomplish, although you didn't expect that time would pass so quickly, with some setbacks and incidents that you preferred not to remember, you looked at the cliff with big eyes until an older version of Luffy snapped his fingers at you to snap you out of your daydream.
"Are you ready to go? Many adventures await us, I'm sure!"
You smiled softly at your companion's enthusiasm, nodding, you climbed onto the small boat with your own suitcase, rolling your eyes at the sight of Luffy's backpack only filled with food, you untied the knot that ran the ship aground in the harbor, raising the sail so that the wind will guide your first destination.

All That I Need
DESCRIPTION: When your presence is all they crave
WARNINGS:  Just fluff
CHARACTERS: Sabo, Sanji |Luffy,Zoro,Shanks
WORD COUNT: 1,107
A/N: Hope everyone has a wonderful and happy New Year. Be safe however you celebrate.
*REQUESTS ARE OPEN*
MASTERLIST
——————
SABO
Tumblr media
The role of Chief of staff to the Revolutionary Army was one Sabo would never give up. To even consider that would be laughable to him. Yes it was dangerous at times and hard work but a difference was being made and it was rewarding. However on long missions like these that took him away from you on extended periods of time his resolve did get tested. On the one hand the growing agitation of being away from you could at times make him distracted but on the other hand the anticipation of being in your presence again was a very strong motivator to get the mission finished as soon as possible.
It was a blessing in disguise that the events on Dressrosa greatly intensified for Sabo just when his need to hurry things along was reaching its limit. Reuniting with Luffy and the chance to get Ace’s devil fruit steeled his mind to keep on track enough until everything was completed. Satisfied that he had done all he needed to and that Luffy was safe he finally made the return to the Revolutionary base. When he set his feet on the island he considered home he couldn’t keep the grin off of his face, knowing that finally seeing you would be only minutes away and no longer days or weeks.
Knowing he had one more duty to conclude he ran as fast as he could to Dragon’s office, the small line of line coming from beneath the door telling him his commander was still awake. Sabo barely knocked once before entering and rattled through a condensed and hurried summary of the mission and its success in record time. Dragon was used to this by now, all too aware of the childlike giddiness that took over his second in command when every fibre in his body was being pulled to wherever you were in desperation. “Just go Sabo, but just be mindful that they’re sleeping.”
Sabo’s face fell into a heavy pout as he left the room and walked to the living quarters he shared with you. Logically he told himself that you’d both been apart for long enough that the rest of the night wouldn’t be too long of a wait by comparison. Then again logic wasn’t his priority. He needed to be with you, his whole body compelled him to be near you now. When he entered your shared bedroom he took in your peaceful sleeping form and felt his heart race just a little faster. Quickly shedding his coat, gloves and boots he climbed into the bed instead of doing his usual nighttime routine and wrapped his arms tightly around you, pulling you as humanly possible against his chest while he nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck. 
“Welcome back Chief…” he grinned at your greeting, slurred and heavy with sleep. Lightly he pressed a kiss against your shoulder as your fingers found their way into his blond hair and curled against the nape of his neck. As you felt Sabo’s body relax on top of yours as sleep finally claimed him you let your mind linger just a little longer on the edge of consciousness. As much as you wanted to go back to sleep your body needed to anchor yourself to him too, to keep him close and take in his warmth and the feel of him again for as long as possible.
SANJI
Tumblr media
Cooking was his passion and he’d never want to do anything else. However on a day like this he did resent it just a little. With a feast to beat all other feasts needing to be made it meant he was practically a prisoner in his own kitchen with no end to the meals he had to make in sight. Damn Luffy for making such a huge declaration with very little time to prepare and after such a long battle it meant he hadn’t seen you in what felt like a lifetime. With a heavy pout he tried to make the food as quickly as possible while still ensuring it was the best quality as always. The only problem was he couldn’t stop thinking about you. 
He wanted to see your face, hear your voice and laugh, embrace the feeling of your presence that he just could never get enough of. When he first met you he fell hard and knew that what he felt for you was far different than any other passing infatuation he’d experienced. Something told him that this was real and he made sure to enjoy every day with you being on the crew. It was just a shock but a very pleasant one that you also developed feelings for him too during the adventures on the crew and not once did he ever take it for granted. 
At the sound of the door opening, Sanji turned ready to yell at Luffy to get out and wait patiently for the feast he was so desperate for only for his anger to die at the sight of you entering the room. Immediately he felt his legs carry him away from the stoves to meet you halfway, the excitement on his face unshakable and infectious as you returned the grin he had. His arms slipped around your body and pulled you close, kissing the top of your head and letting out a soft hum of contentment when your arms tightened around him. “Need any help?” You offered, looking up to smile at him. 
“Just having you here is all the help I need, love.” Sanji told you gratefully, pressing one more kiss against your temple before reluctantly pulling away to tend to the mountain of food that still needed to be made. Having the brief moment would be enough to keep him sated until he was done. His heart skipped when you followed closely behind him and tucked yourself against his side. “Everything okay?” He asked, glancing down to see you look over his food in appreciation and a content smile on your lips. 
“I’m great, I just know how Luffy’s spontaneity for this feast ruined any plans we had for today.” You told him, leaning your head against his chest. “Plus I missed you.” Sanji couldn’t help but beam at your words. He knew out of the two of you, he could seem the more invested one and sometimes clingy or overly affectionate so it was rewarding to hear you missed him just as much as he had been missing you. Overwhelmed with his rush of emotions he abandoned the food for another brief moment to lean down and kiss you deeply.

I love a Roger/Rouge lives to raise Ace or a Shanks takes Luffy with him one-shot as much as anyone.
But the main problem I always have is that the ASL brothers would never meet in these circumstances. So my brain (being the mess that it is) has tired to find a solution.
What if Rodger never got sick or at least it was not as deadly as it was. Still chronic but not a death sentence. He lives and Rouge has Ace (she gets pregnant a little later then in cannon so that she doesn’t have the crazy long pregnancy but Ace is still the same age).
To keep his family safe they travel with him on the Oro Jackson. They stay to relatively calm waters that the marines can’t easily get to. Some of the crew also leave to make their own crews. This gives the marines something else to chase.
Shanks is one of the ones to set out on his own. He leaves when he’s around 17 right around the time Ace is born. It’s the push he needs to set out. He wants to distract the marines as much as possible from Roger’s family. (Buggy did the same thing. They decided to split up to cause more mayhem)
Ten years go by. Shanks visits Roger when he can but for the most part he’s making a name for himself. And he’s doing a good job at it. So good he has to lay low for a while. So he decides to go to the East Blue for a bit. Get away from the Grandline while also hiding somewhere different than Roger. (That way if the marines find him they won’t also find Roger)
It’s here that he meets a 7 year old Luffy. And it plays out much the same as cannon. He adores this little ball of sunshine. This is his boy. He doesn’t care who the boy’s blood father is this, is his boy. So he gives him his hat, has Luffy promise to return it when he’s a great pirate someday. But he leaves out the part about that being the next time they see each other because he wants to see his boy again.
When Shanks returns to the Grandline he seeks out Roger to tell him about their new family member. And Roger hears about this boy who is sunshine incarnate, who dreams to be the freest person alive, who wants to dethrone him as pirate king and goes, “I can’t not meet him.” And there’s no way he’s waiting till the kids on the sea. (Plus Ace needs some friends. Shanks and Buggy had each other, Ace has no one his own age and Rouge is starting to worry for their son.)
So they set out for the sleep island in the East Blue.
Meanwhile Grap has moved Luffy to Dadan’s care. While Luffy is out wondering around he bumps into a blond haired boy named Sabo. It takes a while but Sabo starts to warm up to the 7 year old that’s following him like a shadow.
Just in time for a new kid to wander his way into their jungle. Oro Jackson has Docked and Roger has been (discreetly) looking around for this Luffy while the crew restocks. Ace has already made his way into the jungle because even though he was raised by his parents, he’s still feral. (He was raised on a pirate ship go figure) the three boys bump into each other and through some shenanigans Ace and Sabo start to get along.
It doesn’t take long for Sabo and Luffy to figure out who Ace’s dad is. You know since they actually get to meet them.
The Bluejam pirates still happen.
Maybe Ace doesn’t like Luffy at first. He’s a little kid and is annoying in the way all older kids find younger kids that just want to follow them around annoying. But it’s more than that, because Shanks has claimed Luffy. Shanks, who Ace grew up around and looks up to, came back to the ship and didn’t want to talk about anything except for this ‘amazing’ kid. This kid who his uncle/older brother gave up his arm to save. This kid who is so ‘special’ his dad just had to come and meet him. This kid who has his dad wrapped around his finger in under a day. This kid, who is wearing his Dad’s old hat like a crown and talking about dethroning his dad like it’s his right. This little crybaby who’s not even that special. He can’t even swim!
Even Sabo has a soft spot for the kid, Sabo who is now Ace’s first friend, but he obviously likes Ace better because Luffy is such a crybaby.
But then the Bluejam pirates show up and they heard that the king of the pirates is here with his son. His son he would do anything for. Wouldn’t it be nice to get the bounty for the king of the pirates? If they have his son they can probably force the man into handing himself over. They wouldn’t even have to fight him!
They set out to capture Ace. They see him hanging around Sabo and Luffy. When they attack Ace and Sabo get away but Luffy gets caught. He gets tortured as they ask him to give up the location of the Roger Pirates so that they can capture Ace and by extension Roger. But Luffy won’t tell them anything.
Roger comes to save him. The whole crew comes along with Ace and Sabo. After this the three boys are inseparable. Ace steals some of the crew’s sake and the three swear to become brothers.
While the three boys are doing this. Roger sent some men to find the rest of the Bluejam’s crew and find out about their plan to burn Grey Terminal and how they were hired by Sabo’s father. And that settles it for him. If there was any doubt in Roger’s mind that he was taking Sabo with them when they left this island it was gone now. He thought the boy was oddly dressed for a homeless boy, finding out he was a noble explained a lot. He’s not leaving the boy in this situation. Mainly because Ace finally has a friend/brother. Finding out that adopting the boy would make a noble lose their mind was a bonus!
But what about Luffy? He knows Shanks thinks of the boy as a son. He’s know he is Ace and Sabo’s brother, and they haven’t left his side since the kidnapping. Rodger has no clue who the boy’s family is. At this point Luffy has only introduced himself as Luffy. He lives with the bandits but they are not his family. So it’s seems like he’s got no one truly taking care of him. Honestly Roger is shocked Shanks didn’t just take Luffy with him when he left.
So Roger leaves the island. Stealing one noble son. And taking what he believes to be one free child with him. (There are no parents around to claim him? It’s free real estate) they sail away right as a navy ship is approaching. And Roger would recognize that ship anywhere. It’s Garp! What is Garp doing here? Was Roger that careless with his location. The Oro Jackson hasn’t had a true Marine encounter in years (Rouge is just that good at navigating them under the radar)
Garp sees them, of course he does. Roger sees Garp grab a den den mushi, one that projects his voice across the open sea between them. Roger is expecting his regular speech about how Garp is going to catch them, about how they should surrender, really any of their normal banter.
What he is not expecting is the very loud, very panicked, very angry “give me back my grandson!”
Roger and the crew slowly turn to face the three boys. It’s not Ace. Roger would know if he or Rouge were related to Garp but he still checks Ace off the list.
It can’t be Sabo. Roger can’t imagine a reality where Garp lets his child marry a noble. Plus the kid looks nothing like him.
That leaves Luffy.
“Luffy, what was your name again?” Rouge asked ever patient
“Monkey D. Luffy!” The boy says with confidence. It’s the first time the crew has heard the surname. Well, at least that confirms somethings.
After confirming that yep this is Garp’s grandson. Who he is apparently trying to train to be a marine? Who he’s apparently hit with haki infused punches. (Roger’s been hit with those. They hurt.) Roger grabs their own den den mushi and just calls out “finder keepers.” And they sail away to cannon fire and cursing.
Anyhow the three brothers grow up together on the Grandline. Shanks visits when he can and calls once a week at least if not daily to check in on Luffy and the boys.
Whitebeard definitely crosses paths with Rogers at some point and tries to adopt the boys from him. Rogers would fight him if Rouge wasn’t already fighting Whitebeard over her babies. In the end he becomes the fun uncle. Ace adores him. This is Roger’s worst nightmare! (It’s not. There are way worse things that could happen than his son liking his rival. But Roger loves to be dramatic)
When it’s time to make their own crews Ace and Luffy both decide to start from the East Blue. Getting dropped off by the Roger pirates.
At some point Sabo found out about the revolutionary army and decided that he wanted to join rather than be a pirate. He has his family’s full support (as long as he calls once a week. If he doesn’t they will find him) When he meets his boss for the first time he almost loses his mind and immediately calls Roger’s with a “I think I just met Luffy’s dad!” To which he gets the hilariously confused response of, “You’ve known Shanks since you were ten. What do you mean you just met Luffy’s dad?”

Reacting to you making/giving them a friendship bracelet Pt.3 Marine Edition (Issho, Koby, Smoker, and Garp)
Tumblr media

(Find part one featuring Roger, Ace, Marco, Shanks and Doffy here)
(Find part two featuring Zoro, Luffy, Sanji, Bart, Sabo and Law here)
Warnings/Content- Some angst in Smokers, Garp's part is NSFW ;)
More under the cut :)
Tumblr media
 Issho (Fujitora)
 💜-This man is such a gentle giant 🥹
 💜- Since Issho is blind you try to gift him things that he can feel
 💜- So when you decided to make him a bracelet, you made sure to use different shaped and different textured beads
 
“Y/N is that you?”
 “Maybe~” You sit beside the large man and gently grab his hand “I have a surprise for you!”
 “What’s this?” His fingers run over the soft threads of the bracelet you’ve placed on his wrist. “Did you make this?”
 “I sure did!” You beam. “The base of the bracelet is a deep purple, so that it matches your outfit!”  
 “I see, any special reason why you made it my darling?”
 “It’s just like the bracelet says.” Issho was confused at first but ran his fingers over the beads of the bracelet. His smile widens, feeling that the letters spell out I love you.
 “I hope you don’t mind.” His large hands come up to cradle your face as his fingers trace over your nose, eyes and finally your lips.  “Since I can’t see it, I want to feel the kind and beautiful smile of the woman I adore.” 
 (Issho can actually see the colorful hue of the bracelet thanks to the love and kindness you put into making it)
Tumblr media
Koby
🌸💕-  Koby was getting ready to go on his first overseas mission as a marine captain. Meaning he was going to be gone for a few months. 
🌸💕- You knew he was going to miss you just as much as you were going to miss him, so you wanted to give him something that would remind him of you. Thus you made him a bracelet
🌸💕- When you gave it to him he turned into a absolute, blushing mess (He was internally giggling and kicking his feet)
🌸💕- As happy as he was to receive the bracelet, he felt bad knowing he didn’t have anything to give you
🌸💕- You assured him that it was okay, but seeing you walk away empty handed left a bad taste on his tongue
  “Wait Y/N!” You turn around on the dock to see your boyfriend running towards you at full speed. “Koby?” You raise your brow as he tries to catch his breath.
 “Please take this.” Koby’s pink hair falls against his forehead as he unties the bandanna wrapped around his head. “May I?” You smile and bring your hand up so he can wrap the colorful fabric around your wrist. “It’s not a bracelet, but you can at least wear it like one!” 
 “Captain, we got the go ahead from HQ!” 
 “Roger that.”
 “You better get going captain.” You reach up and give him a kiss on his flushed cheek. “Come back to me, okay?”
 “I promise I will.” Koby’s hand wraps around yours as he pulls you close to him. “Let me give you one more thing before I go….” Your eyes widen in shock, feeling his soft lips press against yours for the very first time.
 You both pull back with embarrassment flooding your faces hearing the whistles and “Get it captain!” comments coming from the ship above you. 
 “I have to go now, love.” With a cherry red face he pulls you in for one last hug. “I’ll be back before you know it.”
 “I’ll be waiting.” 
 ~~~~
 “Where did that come from?” Helmeppo confronted the blushing boy as soon as he stepped foot on the ship. “Did she cast some kind of love spell on that bracelet?”
 “I don't know honestly.” Koby looks at the bracelet with a dopey smile plastering his face. “I love her so much.” 
 “I know that you love sick fool..... also why do you look like you're about to pass out?”
 “Because I am.” With that his unsteady knees finally gave out, sending him straight to the deck.
 Despite the fact it took him two hours to fully recuperate, he was still proud of himself for finally finding the courage to properly kiss you. (No bewitched bracelet required)
(Koby learnt a very valuable lesson that day. Love is a hurricane!! )
 
Tumblr media
 Smoker 
💨- The second you gave him the bracelet he handed it back saying something like “I’m a grown man and I don’t wear silly little bracelets, go give it to Tashigi.” 
💨- Definitely not the reaction you were hoping for AT ALL
💨- You grab that bracelet and leave his office, but not before bitterly saying “It won’t mean anything to her….” 
 
Once Smoker finally got home it was already nearing midnight. He was making his way towards your shared bedroom when he noticed something colorful in the hallway trash can. He pulled it out and recognized it as the bracelet you tried to give him earlier.
 “Fuck me.” What you said before you left his office finally made sense to him. Why would you give Tashigi a bracelet that had his and your relationship anniversary date on it? “How could I not remember that it was today?”  Not only did he reject your gift, he also forgot today actually was your anniversary. Now he was feeling like an absolute asshole, but he’s dead set on making things right. 
 Smoker opens the door to your bedroom to find the comforter still in place. She’s not here. Then he checked the guest bedroom. Not there either.  He was about to freak out thinking you had left, but remembered he had one more place to check. 
  He felt a wave of relief wash over him finding you fast asleep on the living room couch. But that relief quickly turns into heartbreak, seeing the balled up tissues scattered around your curled up body. 
 “Y/N..” There was no gruffness in the way your name left his lips. “I’m so sorry.” He brushes the stray hairs out of your face and notices the puffy ring of red around each of your eyes. “My sweet girl.” He thinks back to earlier that day, how you were happy and smiling. But he selfishly stole that from you. “I don’t deserve you at all.”
 “Hell no you don’t.” You lift up from the couch and wack his hand away.
 “You're awake??” 
 “Yeah, I have been the whole time..” 
 “Listen Y/N, I don’t have an excuse for my actions and I won’t make one.” Smoker sat down next to you on the couch and took your hand in his.  “Just know I am sorry and I love you.” 
 “I thought you “wouldn’t wear a silly little bracelet” ?” You grab the bracelet on his hand with a quirked brow.
 “Well I didn’t know my silly little woman made it for me.” He replies with a smirk. “But even if you didn't, I should have accepted it.”
 “Yeah, but It’s in the past now.” You grab the blanket and place it back over your body. “I’m going to sleep, goodnight Smokey.”
 “On the couch?”
 “Is that a problem?”
 “No, I guess not.” You were hoping he’d pick you up bridal style and whisk you away to bed, but the big oaf just walked away. He never learns. “I’ll sleep right here then.” Surprised to hear his voice again, you turn around and see him throwing pillows and blankets on the floor
 “I suppose you will.” You huff and close your eyes.
 “Y/N.” You hum in response “I think you dropped something on the floor.”
 “Dropped wha-.” 
 “I may have lost track of time and forgot today was our anniversary.” You lift up from the couch in complete shock seeing the ring Smoker held in his hand. “But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have anything planned for our anniversary.” You could feel tears forming in the corners of your eyes. “Will you marry me Y/N?” 
 “You jerk…” You hold your left hand up, letting him slide the ring over your finger. “Of course I will.” You jump down from the couch and tackle Smoker to the floor as you cry tears of joy.  “I'm still mad at you, but I’m also really happy.” You pull away and look to see Smoker also has tears of his own forming. 
 “Babygirl I’m happy too and all, but...” His voice strains as if he were in pain. “Your knee.”
 “What about my knee?” You look down and see he wasn’t crying for the reason you originally thought. “Oops.” During the process of jumping your now fiancée, your knee had unfortunately landed on his privates. “Honey I am so sorry!” 
 “It’s okay.” You could tell he was holding back a scream. “I deserved it anyway.” 
 “Drop the Mr. Tough guy act.” You roll your eyes. “Want me to go get a frozen bag of peas or something?”
"........"
"......."
 “Please.”
 (Smoker may have lost his ability to have kids, but it was worth seeing you fawn over your engagement ring.)
Tumblr media
 Garp (NSFW)
💥- Despite your relationship with Garp being a secret (For.... special reasons) he’s all the time sneaking you small trinkets or leaving you a stack of his rice crackers on your desk.
💥-He can't help himself, he just loves giving you things. (At one point he even tried to steal Sengoku's goat for you because you said it was cute💀)
💥- But you wanted to return the favor and what better way than with something handmade
  “Garp, can I come in sir.” You knock on his office door before reviving a gruff come in. “I have something for you.”
 “Is that my Y/N?" His rough tone softens seeing you standing at his door. “Don’t just stand there, come here.” He said while patting his lap.
 “Isn’t that a bad idea considering we’re both at work?” Your cheeks heat up at his nonchalant invite . “What if you know who sees me, he’d kill me for sure!”
 “Honestly, I hope that bastard walks in here one of these days.” Garp smirks before giving you a serious look. “And you know I wouldn’t let him harm a hair on your head, right?”
 “I know.”
"Good, so come here."
“I guess it won’t hurt, but only for a little while.” You sigh before crawling into the large mans lap.
 “Atta girl.” Garps arms wrap around your back, pulling you further into his embrace. “So what did you have for me?”
 “I can’t give it to you smother me to death!” You voice strains as you lightly smack his broad chest.
 “Oops, sorry.” He pulls away letting you get some much needed air. “You okay down there?” 
 “Yeah.” You nod your head as you grab the bracelet from your pocket. “Hand please.” Garp holds his hand out, letting you slip the bracelet over his large hand.
 “Well, would you look at that?” The older man studies the bracelet with a fond smile. “What a sweet girl, making an old man like me something so pretty.”
 “You're all the time doing things for me, so I wanted to show my appreciation and ” You reach up and give him a quick peck on the lips. “love~”
 “Your love huh?” You didn't even get the chance to reply before the man had you pinned down face first on his desk. “In that case why don’t you show me just how much you love me?”
 “Garp not here, we can’t!” It was to late, his hands had already ripped away both your uniform skirt and underwear.
 “Why, worried about your daddy seeing you?” Garp mocks while landing a hard smack on your ass. “If anything you should worry about him hearing you.”
(Garp absolutely loved the bracelet you gifted him. But even with that being said, he may like the "gift" you're giving him right now a little bit better. Or maybe a lot more, because in his eyes there isn't anything he loves more than getting to fuck Akainu's precious daughter.)
AN- To all my Y/N's who read Garp's part, click me for a surprise

anon's request: Hiii. I feel like w the amount of times I drop I should sign off w an emoji lololl. But anyway I wanted to drop in and say that I hope you’re having a good week and leave a lil request for you. If you could write a fluff w ace or sabo where like they wake up early in the morning and are looking at the reader and reminiscing about their relationship. It kinda hits them that they’re in love and wouldn’t change a thing. Again hope you’re having a good day/week 🤗 hi it's malia: i couldn't decide, both are heavily underrated so doing both was the best decision. i even added luffy because this felt like a beautiful asl brother thing to do, lol. please, take yourself an emoji of the endless list, i would be pretty happy and probably crying happy tears if you were my very first anon. ♥

ʚ flame emperor sabo ɞ
↷ the bright rays of the golden sun forced sabo to wake up from his slumber, totally against his will. he just came back from a three-week mission yesterday, and couldn't wait to spend at least two days by your side without interference. his soft fingertips, protected from the roughness of his mission by the thick leather gloves, caressed the skin along your spine. you were still heavily asleep, face pressed against his naked chest, your warm breath fanning across his skin. you looked beautiful, so peaceful, so different from what kind of moments and things sabo has seen in the past weeks. or better, his entire life since dragon pulled him out of the water. sabo wanted to become the perfect chief of staff, training and working harder than anybody else to keep his position, to make his savior proud. hell, most of his actions were way too risky to be acceptable. but the nobleborn man did not care about his own life as long as the revolutionary army could change the slightest thing in the world, he would be satisfied. until you popped up, your presence stepped in his sight and scolded him for being so careless about his own life.
↷ that night, sabo had to ask you out on a date. he didn’t have much time but he would definitely give you the couple of hours he had off. the sun rays cascaded hues of gold across your unblemished skin the day he took you to a fancy restaurant — confronted with the same image right now, sabo could not stop the trail of memories embedded in his mind. you infiltrated any given space, intoxicated him, and lured him into a paradise. like a siren but with love and a happy ending to it. your body jerked away from his touch ever so slightly when his fingertips grazed over and around your hipbone. a silenced chuckle left his mouth, remembering exactly the night you slept in his room and bed for the first time. oh, your trembling body made it difficult to cuddle properly, the sudden waves of anxiety always pulling you away from sabo's touch and warmth. the little things, he remembered so clearly as if they happened yesterday. the amount of times, he wanted to confess his love but couldn't find the courage to speak his mind. it happened way too often, the small glances you shared across the room, the several ways koala tried to set you two up. god, the poor girl was completely exhausted from dealing with the shyness of two people when it came to adoring someone.
↷ sabo had the slight hope of finding a lover on an island far away. he would not be able to spend much time with them, but it would be worth it to know they are safe. the world nobles and the marine's were a strong enemy, attempting to find the revolutionary army and stop their movement. but when the chief of staff's eyes landed on you, he couldn't stop his heart from beating faster, his head from imagining having you by his side and certainly not himself from falling in love with you utterly fast. his eyes anchored on your sweet face, so calm and relaxed while sleeping, as the memories of the past weeks and months sprawled out in the back of his head. pictures of moments, he would never forget, or dare himself to change. your story together was perfect, and while it was dangerous to share romantic feelings with someone in the same position, sabo would never change the slightest thing.
Tumblr media
ʚ monkey d. luffy ɞ
↷ as the captain of a wanted pirate crew, luffy had very few moments to rest and calm down from the constant fights. but when he got the chance to stay in bed longer than usual, the straw hat had his arms wrapped up tightly around your body. you sprawled out on top of him, one leg on each side. cheek pressed against his toned, naked chest while inhaling and exhaling deep breaths. you always begged him to calm down once in a while, and rest from the fighting and the punches, but luffy was very bad at listening. for almost two years, you asked and he denied it with a chuckle and no words. one of his hands reached up, the calloused fingertips which became rougher over the course of time brushed the thin strands of hair out of your face. the corners of your mouth lifted slightly, almost invisible, as you exhaled a deep breath. even in your sleep, you bathed in the softness of luffy's touch. certain little things, luffy picked up over the course of your relationship.
↷ no one around luffy thought he was capable of feeling love for anything else than his occupancy as a pirate. but when the straw hats visited your island, and luffy shared a look with you, it was certain that the boy fell head over heels for your precious self. throughout the events of the past months, you gave luffy enough strength to fight further and stronger. even after losing ace, you were his glimpse of hope. a smile crept its way onto luffy's mouth, remembering the nights, you stayed on deck with him. falling asleep in his arms while watching the wide ocean sway around the thousand sunny. the days, you brought him food when he didn't join the crew for dinner. something which didn't happen before, he would never let a meal get wasted. memories, he carried with him like pictures on a wall. framed with golden ornaments and attached to his heart. moments, luffy used as a reminder to always keep fighting, to stay strong in the worst fights.
↷ his dilated pupils were locked on your statue on him, so small, so beautiful and so admirable. his slender and warm fingers combed through the mess of hair, adoring the way you made him feel safe between the enemies that wanted his head. luffy could agree to many alliances, could laugh at way too many people, yet, most of them wanted to murder the straw hat behind his back. the million little things you've done for him, no matter if the days were good or bad, they pulled luffy deeper into your spell. he fell harder for you with each given day, and while becoming the king of the pirates was his priority task, you quickly changed the placement. the straw hat did not except to experiment love on his journey to the one piece, and yet, luffy would not trade this life for anything else, he would never change any step of your love story and relationship together.
Tumblr media
ʚ portgas d. ace ɞ
↷ there was not one calm night on the moby dick since the commanders gathered for an arranged party. music boomed across the deck of the main ship, and spread across the vast ocean. colorful lights, red and blue cascaded through the darkness and announced the ship to any other pirate crews or marine admirals. those feasts were ace's greatest pleasure. he loved drinking booze and eating meals until passing out. but those past days, it was somehow different. seated in the corner, the glass tightly in one of his hands, ace watched his friends and family interact with you. dancing around with marco, and having long conversations with pops or thatch. the night was a long one again, the third in a row and it was no surprise the next morning when you were still asleep. cuddled up in ace's arms while pressing your back further against his naked chest. warmth spread underneath the thick blanket but also from ace's logia devil fruit powers. a walking heater, who watched closely how your chest rose while you inhaled and exhaled.
↷ the second division commander felt the tingling in his right arm, knowing that a couple more minutes could increase the slight pain. but he wouldn't dare himself to wake you up from a much-needed nap. after dancing way too many hours with marco, and even being forced to dance another round with ace by your side, your legs were hurting badly. his unoccupied hand wandered from your hipbone towards your thick thigh. smirking to himself as you carefully pushed yourself further against his body, ace massaged your unblemished and soft skin. he didn't think about taking advantage or doing anything sexual, the shaggy black-haired decided to give you something back. he remembered clearly how many times you decided to massage his tense shoulders and back when he returned from another long mission. standing on the small boat which only worked with his particular devil fruit powers didn't allow him much of a comfortable position. days passed, sometimes even weeks or months while you waited for him and hoped for ace to return well.
↷ over the months of dating, ace reminded himself of the small things you have done for him. it always kept him alive and awake when needed, knowing that returning to you was his greatest desire. he wouldn't want to see your soft face stained by the tears from your eyes. this time, he promised to stay longer by your side, to decline leaving the ship so easily and quickly. his rough fingertips caressed along the skin of your thigh while his eyes drifted over the small statues on the shelf close to the bed. little gifts that ace brought along when he was on a mission far away. you occupied his mind, kept him awake and forced his nightly dreams to enter his days. being in a relationship as a pirate always caused problems, fearing for the well-being of you more than his own. and yet, ace wouldn't change a fact, wouldn't change any steps of the past that you shared together. each return to the moby dick came with new shivers, heavy goosebumps and a quick heartbeat. feelings, ace only got when your face popped into his mind, when you occupied his head.

How I think ASL would play pretend
Ace: Hello, wife! I’m home!
Luffy: Hi, husband! I didn’t make dinner because I didn’t feel like it.
Ace: Spot! Our son that is our dog!
Sabo: Why am I the dog…
Luffy: Shut up and make dog sounds, Sabo.
Sabo: Why can’t I be like. The annoying neighbor or something?
Ace: OH NO!
Luffy: What is it, husband???
Ace: I want a divorce, wife!
Luffy: Okay, we can get a divorce.
Ace: NEVER MIND I DONT WANT A DIVORCE ANYMORE!!!
Luffy: Okay cool. I’m having an affair.
Sabo: I pooped on the carpet.
Ace: Okay, bye, wife. I have to go the doctor’s.
Sabo runs over to the far end of the yard and puts on a headband: I’m the doctor. You have cancer in your head.
Ace: Oh no, how long do I have, doctor?????
Sabo checks his wrist like a watch: Hmm…. 3 minutes— NO WAIT 3 SECONDS!
Ace: Oh nooooo! /collapes and dies/
Luffy picking up a toy bear: C’mon, baby, now that my husband is dead I’m single and ready to mingle. Let’s to go the grandline and drink sake together.
Dadan: What the hell did I just watch…

hi! i love your work, is it okay if we can get shanks for your wound care series? thank you!
Patching up Shanks' Wounds
Zoro Law Sanji Shanks Ace Luffy Sabo Doflamingo A/N: HI NONNIE! Thank you so much for your request of course you can have the lovely Shanks for the wound care series! Pairing: Shanks x GN!Reader CW: None WC: 887
You thought the whole world had collapsed when you had heard the trembling voice of Shanks over the Den Den Mushi pleading for your help. You dropped what you were doing and sprinted to his location. A million thoughts raced in your head: how could the Shanks get injured like this? What kind of enemy could he possibly have encountered? Just how bad are his injuries?
As you round the corner, your eyes locked onto Shanks, and your heart pounded in your chest. Your gaze scanned him, assessing for any signs of injuries, but wait… where were his injuries? Your panic increased, and adrenaline coursed through your body, your mind in turmoil. He seemed just fine? Shanks let out a hearty laugh at your reaction and extended his pointer finger to you.
“I think I’ve gotten a splinter,” he declared, a grin stretching across his face.
Your jaw dropped, and you blinked in disbelief. “Red-haired Shanks, you did not just make me panic over a splinter!” you shouted, exasperation clear in your voice.
He shrugs nonchalantly, his eyes twinkling playfully. “Hey, hey, calm down. This is a very serious injury,” he says, his tone clearly teasing as he waved his hand dramatically to emphasize the importance of the splinter.
Your chest heaves as you attempt to calm down. “Shanks, you are insufferable.” You mutter out in irritation. You walk over to him and smack him across the head. He whines out dramatically even though your hit didn't actually hurt in the slightest. “Next time you call me like that you better be ten seconds away from death, you got it? Now show me your damn splinter.” You say in irritation.
“My, my, so angry, do I always get you this worked up?” He teases, with that same playfulness in his eyes.
You sigh, shaking your head at his antics. “It’s a special talent of yours, Captain. Now, let me see the splinter before I decide to make it a more serious injury.”
He chuckles, extending his finger to you to inspect. “Alright, I promise to only call for medical emergencies next time. No more splinter crises.”
You examine the splinter closely. It was barely a sliver of wood embedded in his finger. You grab a pair of tweezers and with one quick and precise motion, you remove it. Shanks winces, not from the pain, but from the exaggerated theatrics that he decided to play up for you. Once the ordeal is over, you can’t help but roll your eyes at him and smile. “There, all better,” you say, your voice laced with fond exasperation.
Shanks flexes his finger and grins at you. “You’re my savior. Now, how do you plan on rewarding me for being brave and handling the pain?”
You can’t help but laugh. “Reward you? How about I just don’t ban you from the infirmary for life for wasting my time?”
He pouts playfully, “Wasting your time? I think that's a bit harsh don't you think?”
“Well, Captain, you do have a knack for keeping me on my toes at all times and for making the simplest things an adventure.”
He flashes you a charming grin, leaning closer as if to share a secret. “It’s because I have the most excellent nurse who can turn the most mundane situations into unforgettable moments.”
Your heart skips a beat as his gaze locked onto yours, and his words carried a hint of something deeper. “Is that so?” you ask, your voice softening, unsure if you were still talking about the splinter or something entirely different.
Shanks nods, his expression turning playful once more. “Absolutely. And you know, and I still think I deserve a reward for my bravery today.”
You are brought out of your trance for just that moment and you take his hand in yours, your fingers lightly brushing against the calloused skin.. You bring his finger up to your lips and lightly plant a soft, lingering kiss on it, the delicate sensation of his roughened fingertip sending a pleasant shiver down your spine.. “There, all better. Is that what you wanted?” You ask, a playful smile gracing your lips, eyes locking with one another in an unspoken exchange of shared humor and affection.
Shanks chuckles, the sound warm and endearing. “Hey, only a kiss on my finger for all my troubles? Such a prude you are.”
A mischievous glint dances in your eyes as you lean closer, your lips just barely brushing against his ear. “Maybe if you get injured somewhere else you’ll get a kiss there too.”
He raises an eyebrow, his grin widening, and his voice dropping to a murmur.“I see… So, uh, I happen to have this splinter in my lips too, and one gnarly one right below the belt-”
You interrupt him with an exasperated huff, a playful swat to his arm and a mock glare. “Shanks, so help me, I am going to murder you right here, right now.”
The two of you shared a laugh, and in that moment as your laughter echoed in the room, it was clear that even the simplest of interactions with Shanks had a way of turning into something more, something extraordinary. It was in these moments, full of playful banter and shared laughter, that the connection between you and Shanks truly shines.

Hello there may I request Whitebeard pirates find out about Ace has an older sister (not by blood) can you do their reaction when they saw Ace has a beautiful big sister with two different eye color one deep sapphire blue and a rich lavender color
She has a devil fruit that can make her manipulate silver
Tumblr media
Reckless Charmers (Whitbeard pirates x f!reader)
A/N Here we gooo, A whole month after 😂, im slowly putting a dent in my requests yall. I had a hard time deciding where to take this, and in my first draft I thought I had it but I realize I djn’t have either silver nor heterochromia so , major fail 😂
Reader here is replaced by dokucha which stands for reader in japaness

“Ace, how much longer till we get there?” She yells over the roaring of the striker, glancing behind her towards the man powering the boat
“We’re almost there; I see the Moby. It should be just a few minutes now.”
“You did tell them I was coming, right?” She questioned
“Well….”
“Ace..”
“Do they even know you have a sister?”
“Well, it didn’t really come up?”
“Ace!”
“Hahahahaha! Don’t worry so much they will love you.”
She sighs, turning her attention to the landscape in front of them
“You’re unbelievable, Ace.”
“Yeah, Yeah, we’re here.”
“Race you to the top?” She said with a grin
“Really? We’re not kids anymore Dokucha”
“Aw- Hey! You damn cheater!” She hollered after he jumped towards the galleon, quickly transforming her neck into a silver lance and using it to impulse herself after him
She scowls at him as they land on the deck of the galleon
“You litt-
“Ace, you’re back,” a voice cut in
“And you brought someone with you-yoi,” he states, glancing at the woman questioningly, throwing a disapproving glance to Ace
“W-Wait, it’s not what you think! This is my sister, Dokucha!”
He hums, glancing at the woman beside him
“Hi, I hope I am not intruding” she stated, giving the commander a small bow
“No, not at all, Ma’am. Make yourself at home,” he said, throwing her a smile
“Thank you, Sir; I appreciate your kindness.”
“Ah, no need for formalities, just call me Marco; hey Ace, you should bring her around more often-yoi,”
“Hmm? Why’s that?”
“You can learn a thing or two from her, maybe how to be a little bit more civil-yoi.”
“W-What’s that supposed to mean?!” He scowls
“Hey Ace, who’s the beauty you brought?” Thatch questioned, walking towards the trio
“This is my Sister, Dokucha”
“Well, Golly, ma’am, do excuse my honesty, but you look sweeter than a cherry pie,” he drawled, giving her a smile
“You have wonderful eyes, my; I could just lose myself in them, don’t see a pair like yours every day.”
She flushed at his words, giving him a small smile
“Charmer, aren’t you?”
“I can see where the good genes went to.” he quipped back
“We’re not related by blood; also, go to hell, thatch.”
“You want to go at it, firecracker?”
And just like that, Dokucha found herself sitting next to Marco as the two commanders went at it, the crew slowly gathering around them and cheering them on
“Is it always like this?” She asked, sipping on a drink provided by one of the members as she glanced at Marco
“Usually takes more jabbing to make them go at it, but it does end up like this at the end of the day,” he said, watching the two go at it
“He is right; you do have wonderful eyes; I‘ve never quite seen such a case of heterochromia-yoi.”
She throws him a grin
“Thank you”
“I saw you making a lance when you came into the boat, are you a devil fruit user-yoi?”
“I am; I didn’t quite make a lance more so than I changed it into a lance.”
“How so?”
“I’ve got myself the gin-gin no mi; essentially, I can control and become silver; I always carry around silver jewelry so I can change into a weapon when necessary.”
“Ah, a logia?”
“That’s right; Ace, Sabo, and I are all logias; Luffy is the odd one out with his zoan fruit; you have one as well, don’t you? A Zoan-type”
“That’s right; how could you tell-yoi?”
“You ha-
Her words are cut off as a blade headed her way, which she simply avoided by moving slightly; glancing at the blade, she noticed how the wood began burning under the blazing blade; she followed the trajectory to the two men who had stopped their brawl to look at the damage they had caused
“Shit, Thatch, that’s our cue to get out of here,” Ace curses pulling his friend away
“Hah? Why?”
“Listen, man, you don’t want to find out what happens next.”
She gives them a tight smile, rapidly transforming her jewelry into a staff
“Marco,” she called
He hummed in response, curious at the sudden shift in attitude
“You are the vice-captain, correct?”
“I am”
“Then I formally request permission to show these two a lesson.”
“Approved-yoi,” he said with a grin, leaning his head against the palm of his hand
“Marco, you damn traitor, Thatch run!”
“Where are you going, little brother?” She said, approaching the two
Tumblr media
Yall I had to being out southern Thatch out, this was the perfect chance, I just had to have a flirty Thatch, we need it

Hi I was wondering if you knew any fics about where Luffy successfully rescues ace from Impel Down.
Of course! I did my best to find fics where it was Luffy who saved Ace, but I've also included some where someone else helped!
Ace Rescued From Impel Down Fic Recs
This list will include all ratings and tags, so read at your own discretion! :) Enjoy!
A Fair Trade by Rijus_Hope - Not Rated
Luffy and his crew hear about Ace's execution before it reaches the papers, before they're split up at Sabaody Archipelago. His crew is ready for Luffy to boldly declare that they were going to break his brother out of prison, but Luffy is as unpredictable as ever, and presents an entirely different plan: To offer himself, the son of the Revolutionary Dragon, as a prisoner in Ace's place.
It was cold without you by my side by Dezace - Rated T
Sabo just got back from a mission. He overhears news concerning the Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard pirates and the supernova Strawhat Luffy. Strawhat was reported to be in Impel Down, trying to break out Fire Fist Ace. What the World Government didn't know was that this caused a domino effect of epic proportions. Sabo would rather kill himself than not do anything. His brothers were counting on him.
The will to live is harder to keep than a will to die by Dezace - Rated T
Ace was chained down in Impel Down, waiting for his execution and death, knowing that nothing can change that. When Ace hears the news that Luffy was here and there for him, Ace couldn't sit still. Not anymore. Or: Ace decided that being the damsel in distress sucks and that if you wanted something done right, do it yourself.
Of Seas and Freedom by OCEANSHELLS - Rated T
Law and Luffy break Ace out of Impel Down during a date and make out in the elevator, not exactly in that order.
Fair Enough by WolfyTheWolfz - Rated T
Luffy finds out about Ace's execution, and instead of rushing straight towards Impel Down, he enlists the help of Boa Hancock, to help trade himself for his brother but to also get a message out to his crew.
see you again by yeonjunenby - Rated T
While awaiting his execution, Ace silently wishes that he could have seen his brothers Luffy and Sabo one more time. His wish comes true, except for some reason this Sabo and Luffy appear to be from three years in the future, and they seem hellbent on breaking him out of prison.
Of course I'd come for you by Lerya - Rated T
Making a beeline to the end of the hallway, Luffy didn't care about anything else but getting to his big brother.
Garp taught Luffy how to be a marine and uses that knowledge to break into a government facility by Dezace - Rated T
Garp wanted Luffy and Ace to be Marines, so he taught them what a good marine should know and how to do it. While Ace and Luffy obviously didn't become marines, that knowledge was, literally, pounded into their heads. With Ace captured and set for execution, Luffy uses that knowledge to bust his brother out of prison. Or: Why Garp shouldn't have taught an upcoming rookie what Marine codes meant because all it led to was the chaos a pirate could use it for.
Not Once, But Twice In A Lifetime by BonneyJewelry - Rated G
On the way to Wano, Luffy is forced to rest by his frantic reindeer doctor. When he snaps his eyes open again, he is not where he expects to be. Is that Aces Vivre Card?
Never Let Go by Applepie - Rated G
Sabo never managed to escape from his father after he gave himself up for Ace and Luffy’s sake. But ten years pretending to be the Noble his father expects him to be is nothing when it lets him save his brother in the end. (In which Ace gets a visitor in Impel Down, and it’s the last person he expects.)
The Rescue Party by UntoldDepths - Rated M
In which the Straw Hat pirate crew finds out about Ace's execution earlier than canon and immediately launches a rescue mission.

ahh! Sorry, I just saw your rules, I'll re-create the request!! Please answer this one instead of the recent one! <3 sorry for the bother.
Can you do hcs for luffy, ace and shanks, when their s/o pranks them by texting them "he's gone, you can come over now xx" Fem!reader :)) I love your writings btw! Don't overwork yourself and take your time!
A/N: I’m pretty sure you put Sabo in the first one but not in this request. but Sabo??? The guy who trapped someone in a burning building because he bad-mouthed Ace..that Sabo??? Clinically insane Sabo????? in this scenario???? I needed it. If you didn't mean to put Sabo the first time, then enjoy the freebee
Characters: F! reader x Luffy, Ace, Shanks, Sabo
Cw: a little angst, a few are kinda suggestive 
Total word count: 700
Prank Text
Luffy
Literally it would go over his head. He’s so secure in his love for you and your love for him that he wouldn’t even comprehend what you’re trying to do. 
“What do you mean come over I just left???”
“Did you even send that to the right person???”
“Anyways see you tomorrow! Have fun with whoever you’re hanging out with!”
The next day he would ask how your evening was, and when you tell him it was a failed attempt at a prank he would just scratch his head and be like “you’re funny” and laugh it off. He still doesn't get what you were trying to do, but if it made you laugh, that's enough for him.
Ace
You put the phone down just for one minute after sending it. Just one. But when you come back to it, there's 10 texts and 5 phone calls. 
“Who???” “What???” “Y/n????” “Can you tell me what's going on?” “Who is coming over?” “Was that meant for me??” “Please pick up i need to talk to you”
Before you can even read them all, your phone starts buzzing again. It’s Ace. You answer, deciding that one minute was enough torture for the poor boy. 
“Hey!” you say, super cheery. “Who’s coming over?” Ace asked immediately. 
“Uh, nobody, actually! It was a prank, that’s all!” you reply. “Oh.” You can hear the sadness in his voice, he doesn’t believe you.
“You can come back if you don’t believe me,” you say. You feel bad about it now.
 “No, no, I trust you. It just scared me. I just thought…” he trails off. “You thought it was for another guy?” you finish. His silence tells you that your guess was right. 
“I’m sorry Ace, please come back. It was just a joke. I want you here. Movie marathon?” you asked, hoping to get his spirits back up. He reluctantly agreed. 
You all didn’t end up watching too many movies, but at least he came back. 
Shanks
This bastard would play right along back. Just flip the table on you. 
“Good ♡ I just left. Wear something spicy 😘”
That would result in you calling him. He picks up on the second ring, making you wait just a minute. “What the hell do you mean wear something spicy?” You demand.
“Trying to get me riled up, huh?” he smirks, knowing that you’ve played your hand now and that he’s succeeded in flipping it around. 
“Shanks!” you pout. “That’s not funny!”
He laughs at you over the phone. “I meant what I said. I’m canceling my plans. Wear something spicy. Be home in five.” He hangs up without another word
When he gets home, he sure does make you regret sending that text in the first place (or…maybe not). 
Sabo
You smirk when you see your phone buzzing. Of course Sabo’s immediate response was to call. Better to let him simmer in it. You put your phone down and pick up a book to read.
He calls again, and you ignore him again. Five minutes later he calls again. Ten minutes later he calls. You still ignore him. 
After about 45 minutes, there’s a knock on the door. You open it to find Sabo there, glaring at you. 
“It was a joke wasn’t it?!?” he demanded, and you busted out laughing. 
“Not funny!” he said. “I waited outside in the parking lot for an hour to beat up on any guy that even walked by your apartment!”
Your mouth dropped open in shock. “You did not,” you hissed, shoving him playfully. “I did!” he shot back. “I almost beat a delivery guy with the spare pipe in my car because he looked at your door!”
“Sabo!” you gasped. You couldn’t help but giggle at him and his possessiveness of you. 
He grinned, more boastful than embarrassed. “Since I’m here anyway…wanna go get dinner?”

Hello! Hope you’re doing well!! For the q&a: what’s your favorite thing about each of the ASL bros???
And also!! Are you okay with being tagged in fanart of your AU’s????
Tumblr media
The anarchy of all of them, mostly
But individually,
Luffy: i love how he thinks that everyone else are the weird ones. That gag of him doing some weird shit, someone being like “WHY’D YOU DO THAT” and then he’s liek “omg haha when that get there?” “YOU DID IT” “i did?” “YES” “haha youre weird”. That’s my favorite shit.
Sabo: I love how dedicated he is to his cause. He will do anything if it means victory and I love how different it makes him from his brothers. His reaction to cobra’s death, his patience in waiting to meet luffy, his cunning when he invades mariejois. Its all sooo mmmmm mm mm mm flavourfullll~
Ace: i love how he loves. The way he learns manners to be able to thank shanks, the way he hunts down teach because he killed someone he held dear, the way he traveled with luffy and his crew and didnt smile until he knew that luffy was in good hands.
Thanks for the question!

Pairing: Portuguese D. Ace x Fem!Reader
Rating: For all and sundry, with a little sprinkle of spiciness here and there
Summary: Small glimpses of daily life in autumn with your partner Ace, in this case we are not in the world of OP, but we are in the real world. An idea that came to me thanks to this Post, and what's more, the Autumn Equinox is today🍂 ah, my favorite season begins!
Tumblr media
🍁 Cosy Autumn Prompts 🍁
Tumblr media
🍁 Cuddling under a blanket 🍁
The days were starting to get shorter and shorter, the air was finally starting to feel fresher and not as muggy as in the previous days which had forced you to sleep in separate beds and with the fan on because it was too hot.
Finally the time came when you could get under a blanket and bask in the early hours of the morning. Ace is happy about this, he complained all summer that he couldn't use you as a pillow - he didn't mind the heat, but you risked fainting if the temperature was too excessive.
It felt good to feel his strong arms wrapping around your waist and bringing you close to him. Ace loved kissing every single inch of your free skin, sometimes he would take off your pajamas to have more skin to kiss, his fingers would pinch your hips pleasantly and you would laugh holding him to you. You liked stroking his hair, kissing his face and gently pulling his cheeks to tease him a little, tracing the lines of his muscles and observing that galaxy of freckles on his body. You kissed him, every now and then a little bite here and there. It was nice to go back to old habits.
“Come on pigeons, come down instead of flirting in bed.” The knocks on the door and Marco's voice brought you back to reality. It was better not to keep the large Newgate family waiting, also because you risked that one of them would enter the room to grab you and drag you out of bed.
You were about to get up when Ace held you back, carrying you back to the bed and placing the blanket over you.
“The two of us haven't finished our dose of morning cuddles yet.” He had said, kissing you passionately and leaving you no escape. Not even the knocks on the doors and threats from his older brother changed Ace's mind.
🍁 Baking together 🍁
Autumn also meant preparing big family lunches for everyone to be together. Or rather you cooked, Ace was responsible for tasting the dishes to help you adjust the spices, salt, pepper and cooking of the food.
The last time he cooked, his brothers had told you, the fire alarm had gone off and for this reason the whole family had decreed that Ace would no longer go near the stove. So all his brothers were amazed at your culinary skills and the fact that you allowed him to stay in the kitchen without causing damage.
“Ace, can you tell me if the pancake batter turned out well? Then get me the sugar and cinnamon.” You said as you continued to mix the cream to fill the pancakes with, Satch had entrusted you with the task of making desserts for that Branch and you had gone wild. Ace was very happy about it, he loved your sweets and finally he could go into the kitchen and scoff at some food.
“Did it come out perfect, when did you fry it?” The boy asked, passing you the ingredients you asked for. You replied that it would be better to do them after everyone had arrived, only his two brothers Sabo and Luffy were missing but they were on their way and would be there any moment.
“Oh no, I forgot to whip the cream for the cake!” Only then did you remember the cake that was resting in the fridge still unfilled and you also had to add all the fruit to it, but you had to finish making the blueberry pancakes and then the apple ones and the peach ones: "Ace, take the whisks and whip the cream, after which I'll decorate it." The situation was desperate because everyone was busy, even Satch.
Your boyfriend looked at you for a whole minute, then following your request and the instructions you gave him: you told him to take the cold container, put the cream in it and then use the whisk, increasing the speed slowly. You also told him what movement he had to make, up and down in such a way as to incorporate a little air to make it softer.
For once you were optimistic, he wouldn't do any damage.
A scream coming from the other side of the kitchen made you whirl towards an Ace covered from head to toe in whipped cream. How had he multiplied the cream like that?! You turned off the stove and headed towards him with a tablecloth to dry him off.
"Look at the bright side." He said as he tasted the cream on the sides of his mouth. Only he could see a positive side in that disaster,
“Didn't you let the kitchen catch fire?” You replied as you cleaned his clothes, he would have to go change, god it had gotten all over him.
“I know how to whip excellent cream.” Ace said smiling at you and letting you taste some whipped cream from his hand. In fact he was right, he had been good and there was enough left in the bowl to fill the cake.
“No Food Porn in my kitchen!” You jumped to attention as soon as you heard Satch's voice coming from the other side of the room and burst out laughing, who knows what he heard.
🍁 Lazy days in 🍁
Ace is a hyperactive boyfriend - despite his chronic narcolepsy - he doesn't know how to sit still for a moment, not even in the morning when you would like to sleep and stay under the covers as much as possible, but no, Ace won't let you. He's like a persistent cricket until you get up and go down to breakfast with him.
Ace tells you what he did as you go down the stairs and you listen to him trying not to trip on the steps and give him all the attention he deserves-because despite everything you love him to death. He took out the rubbish, put away the new bags, went for his morning run and has already met with your whole group of friends to get organized and go to university, he got the newspaper, did the shopping for breakfast and he went to get you your favorite espresso to surprise you.
The container is lukewarm, he begins to slowly sip your drink while your boyfriend does ten thousand things a second, he is emptying the dishwasher that you put on the previous evening while he tells you some gossip about the neighborhood, and he begins to put away every object of the kitchen in its place.
You remain with your drink and your eyes half closed listening to him, smiling every now and then in the hope that your brain will reconnect to the world with the caffeine it is ingesting.
Then the sound of a photo wakes you up and the vibrations of your phone force you to open the family chat - or rather the chat in which Ace's family have included you because for them you are part of the family now.
“Ace, did you send a photo of me in this condition?” You said without getting too angry, by now Ace's family knew you so well that they had seen you in even worse situations - and you had your photo library to be able to threaten them.
“You look like Baby Yoda, look how cute you are!” He said Ace hugging you and peppering you with kisses on the cheeks, as if he were going to charge you-it kind of worked.
“Come on, we have so many things to do and so many lessons to follow.” The brunette said placing your favorite cereal in front of you. His smile was so beautiful.
“Ace it's six in the morning, lessons start at nine, I'm going back to bed.” You tried to get up, but Ace didn't let you go, this time too you weren't able to fully enjoy a lazy day, but your boyfriend knows how to make up for it.
🍁 Carving pumpkins 🍁
Having a little brother is something you've always wanted, and Luffy is perfect for this role. You love Ace's five year old brother, he's small, compact and sometimes when you go out you can pretend to be a happy family to get some discounts on lunch. And Luffy loves calling you mom or calling Ace dad to scare away girls who bother him when you go out shopping together.
And that day was no different, you went out to buy pumpkins to carve, Luffy's school had assigned this task to the children to start decorating the school for the autumn term. And the girls attacked Ace while you and Luffy were choosing the pumpkins to buy, you and the little one looked at each other and carried out the plan, the girls' faces were a sight and Ace played your game so well that they ran away apologizing to you.
“Luffy uses the spoon to remove the pulp and seeds, but don't throw them away, I'll put them in the oven to make some snacks.” You said as you continued carving the pumpkin you had emptied earlier, “Ace help your brother.” You added seeing the smaller one in difficulty. You hadn't expected them both to make a mess and end up covered in pumpkin from head to toe, you were only distracted for two minutes.
You rolled your eyes at their carelessness laughing until you felt something sticky hit your chest. It was pumpkin pulp, the one that was not eaten and which contained all the seeds. The two brothers looked at you with challenging looks. You started running around the kitchen, aware that they would catch you in no time and that they would fill you with pumpkin, but you managed to defend yourself even if you fell and they both followed closely behind you due to how slippery the floor had become.
“Now we have to clean ourselves up.” You said jokingly as you picked up a little Luffy in your arms and removed the pumpkin on his face.
“We bathe together!” The little one said smiling playfully and chuckling and throwing himself on top of you.
“And I was going to cook you, stuff you and eat you.” Ace whispered in your ear making you turn all red as soon as he placed his lips on your neck. Or why your boyfriend could be so damn sexy even in a situation like that.
“Ace I want to eat the stuffed big sister too!” Luffy's comment shocked you, or at least he made you go into disarray while Ace laughed big time at what was happening, the little one looked at you in a daze, leaning on your neckline to understand if you were doing well or badly.
He would then ask Sabo.
🍁 Movie nights 🍁
“We're over having a movie marathon!” Ace always had a bad habit of yelling at everyone when you came up to his room. You knew that he had pushy brothers, very pushy, but every now and then you wanted something calmer.
“Do you have to say it every time?” You asked, pulling his cheek a little.
“Let's go so they don't bother us.” The boy replied as he kissed the palm of his hand making you blush visibly.
“Turn the volume up a little or change movie genre, lovebirds!” Izou's voice made you stop halfway up the stairs, the boy with long black hair passed you, adding: "And this time we're almost full, so I suggest you don't do any kind of stunt."
"WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?" Ace started chasing his brother.
“That the walls of the house are thin turnip heads!”
🍁 Flannel shirts 🍁
If there was one thing you liked to do it was get rid of Ace's shirts. Your beloved boyfriend had built up so much muscle mass thanks to his workouts that many shirts he owned had to be given away because they were too small now. And finally you could throw away some of dubious taste, like the leopard one or the one with zebra stripes. You finally had the power and the opportunity to get new ones.
“Cool colors suit you better Ace.” You told him as you hung some shirts in those shades, you had filled him with shirts to try on in the changing rooms.
“Are you sure I need that many? I only need a couple." He said coming out of the dressing room and wearing the dark red one, it looked great on him.
“This autumn will be milder than others, you need these light shirts so you don't die of the heat.” You responded by fixing his collar and smiling at him: “Come on, you have six more to try, come on Love!”
🍁 Cold hands 🍁
“Your hands are frozen!” Ace always worries about you, I mean how do you lose heat even though you go out all covered up with sweaters, scarves, hats and gloves. During the lessons you take together Ace has to hold your hands to prevent them from becoming very cold.
“You know that I lose heat and that you gain it.” You said resting your head on his shoulder. Your university had a bad habit of not turning the heating on full blast, yet the rainy week was always the coldest.
“And yet I like your hands freezing when you run them over me.” Ace's voice was a whisper in your ear, accompanied by the gesture of taking your hand and placing it under his sweatshirt in direct contact with the skin of his abs. Suddenly a hot flash hit you out of the blue, you tried to stay calm so you wouldn't be discovered.
“You're a stove.”
“A stove that needs to be cooled. At the end of the lesson we go to the study room.” He whispered in your ear.
You definitely felt warmer now.
🍁 Steaming mugs 🍁
You had gone out early that morning, even though your nature would have led you to stay in bed for a while longer, but the sales for the furnishings of the house were starting and you wanted to go and buy something to start decorating it a little more and because the plates and glasses were starting to run out, you no longer lived alone in that house, Ace had almost moved in with you now, he was just missing one thing.
So you didn't think twice when you saw a giant orange mug on a shop cupboard next to a blue one. Orange and Blue are two complementary colors you remembered.
You didn't waste time, you bought them immediately and finished your shopping quickly to rush home to put everything away.
When Ace came back and saw the two steaming cups of hot chocolate and cream, decorated with cookies and homemade treats on the kitchen table he looked at you with eyes full of sweetness.
“Now you practically live with me, you have your toothbrush, your clothes are mixed with mine and you have the keys to the house, all you were missing was a cup for breakfast.” You said hugging him tightly to you, you would never let him go, not after he had entered your heart like that and made it his own. Ace held you tightly to him, he had never felt so good in that moment. He lifted you up and filled you with kisses not letting you go for any reason, he had finally found someone who would never abandon him and who was accepting him for who he was.
🍁 Scary movie marathons 🍁
You've never liked scary movies, the nightmares you get aren't normal, and you don't sleep for three days when you see one. But all of Ace's adopted brothers love having scary movie marathons and that's why they brought you in. Even little Luffy is braver than you and he watches them without any problems while eating his popcorn.
You can't watch them, not even the ones produced by Disney, in your opinion those are even more terrifying. For this reason Ace has organized it in the following way: You holding him and Luffy sitting on your lap. You were able to follow the film calmly, covering your eyes with Ace's hand when the scene became too scary, even if Luffy told you about it and everyone started laughing...
Then you had to go to the bathroom because you drank too much coke, and because everyone needed a break, it was the third movie in a row you'd seen and you had to order pizzas.
You rinsed your face and walked out of the bathroom, meeting Luffy down the hall as he grabbed his favorite hat from his room and asked you to wait for him.
Once the child returned you walked towards the living room, unaware that someone was following you in the shadows.
It was a matter of moments, the light went off and on again a couple of times while you were walking down the corridor, what's more it was raining and the sound of the rain distracted you for those few seconds, you approached the window to see if there were any flashes on the horizon and the moment the light went away again and then reappeared you saw the figure behind you from the reflection in the window.
You whipped around to stand in front of Luffy to hide him from the black figure who possessed a disturbing voice and a blood-soaked knife.
You screamed, picked up Luffy - because the little straw hat was going to hit the monster - and ran down the stairs with tears in your eyes as it chased you.
Ace was under the stairs and caught you in time before you fell to the floor, you closed your eyes and a familiar laugh made you instinctively turn around.
Satch had taken off his mask and was laughing out loud, only to be hit by Marco and Izou and scolded.
You were shaking in Ace's arms and had tears in your eyes, your boyfriend got even more angry at his older brother, he and Luffy chased him around the house to teach him a lesson while Izou took you to get something warm to drink in the kitchen to relax your nerves.
Ace came back to you, hugging you and apologizing for what had happened.
“Don't worry, I'll sleep with you this evening and we beat Satch properly.” He said to reassure you.
“I want Luffy too.” You said as the little one came towards you to check on you. Ace didn't say anything, he knows that Luffy is a great nightmare buster and seeing that you love him so much warms his heart.
🍁 Home-cooked meals 🍁
If there's one thing you like to make, it's your family's homemade recipes. Your mom sent you Grandma's cookbook and now you're flipping through it with Ace. your grandmother wrote those recipes by hand, meticulously noting all the steps and tips that she acquired over time.
“This seems to be good.” She said Ace pointing to a recipe that included figs. She knew they were your favorite fruit and that you would eat them endlessly.
“Unfortunately, however, we no longer have figs, they no longer sell them in the supermarket, their season is coming to an end.” You replied, they look at the bruschetta that could be made for lunch, or the jam or the savory dishes or even other desserts.
“Who told you we have to get them at the supermarket.” You looked at Ace a little worried when he dialed Satch's number - despite the horror evening you forgave him - and when half an hour later the person concerned showed up at your house with a basket full of figs and everything you needed to do your grandmother's desserts and recipes.
“Satch, are you staying with us for dinner?” You asked carrying the basket into the kitchen.
“Actually the others are arriving too. Even Father wants to try your grandmother's recipes." The brunette replied carrying two more baskets of Figs, Ace had more in his hand.
You didn't wonder where they got them from, you smiled again because you know that was Ace's plan.
“I know you love cooking homemade meals as a family.” Your boyfriend said, kissing you lightly as the doorbell rang again, “These are the others, Luffy can't wait to get cooking.”
🍁 Scented candles 🍁
Ace had noticed that your mood was a bit down lately, the period of ongoing tests wasn't at all easy at university, especially when he knew that your professors were very rigid and expected mind-boggling projects. He helped you as best he could when he heard you repeat yourself or when you had to do a presentation or a practical project.
So as soon as he saw that mega set of orange, cinnamon and vanilla scented candles he had a great idea.
You heard a knock on the door of your study, you hadn't gotten up for four hours you noticed and when you told Ace he could come in but you didn't hear the door open you got weirded out. So without wasting time you left the room only to notice a lot of red rose petals on the carpet creating a trail towards the bathroom.
You went to investigate, then opened the door and noticed the atmosphere that your boyfriend had created in your bathroom: the heater was on and had warmed the air, the water in the tub was hot and steaming and full of foam and then there was 'there were candles, the candles were lit and released a very good scent of citrus, cinnamon and vanilla and there were also rose petals in the tub.
Ace leaned his chin on your shoulder and kissed your neck: “Come on, let's take a nice hot bath.” He said placing his warm hands on your hips.
You undressed each other and entered the hot tub, you leaned against his chest and enjoyed all the cuddles and attention he was giving you: not only had he taken the candles but also the shampoo, conditioner and shower gel matched.
“Thanks Ace, I really needed that.” You said turning to him and kissing him passionately.
“Anything to see you happy.” The dark-haired man replied, kissing him back.
For that evening you could do without studying, you had your eye on a body oil to put on after the shower.
🍁 Bear hugs 🍁
Ace was always ready to react to any situation, he had faced some rough and tumble during his life, but he certainly couldn't expect to be welcomed into the house by you and Luffy dressed in bear pajamas, which also included the matching hood.
You jumped on him once he entered the house and you all burst out laughing and Ace hugged you tight, so tight.
You were so lovely.
“We have pajamas for you too.” Luffy said running to get him. While Ace continued to kiss you.
“You're such a cute little bear.” He told you, kissing your forehead, then his gaze fell on your neckline and he noticed something that he liked even more.
“This little teddy bear will get plenty of honey tonight.” You whispered in his ear as Luffy arrived in Ace's costume.
Your boyfriend smirked as he went to change followed by his little brother. “Get ready, this bear wants a lot of honey.” He told you as he took off his shirt and thinking of all the ways he could make Luffy as tired as possible so you could have the whole evening to yourself.
So now on his lock screen there are the three of you all dressed up as a family of bears, but in your private chat there was you in the background with a copper colored lace suit and honey covering your breasts.
Grinning, Ace texted you that he was going to buy some honey that was out of stock.
🍁 Coffee shop dates 🍁
Going out in autumn meant only one thing, calling all your friends to go and have a hot and steaming drink to be in company, laugh and joke.
Ace had a commitment at university and would arrive later, but luckily he had one of your closest friends to keep you company. Yamato had managed to free herself from commitments with her family and had immediately run to the cafeteria, crushing you in a hug that never ended. You hadn't seen each other for three months and you started chatting about everything that had happened, until the waitress came by to ask you if you wanted something and while your friend was ordering a pumpkin pie and a hot tea you he only asked for tea.
“I haven't been so well lately.” You told her as you sweetened your cinnamon tea.
“After all the desserts you made, I believe it!” Yamato replied, regretting not having been able to taste them.
“It will be as you say and I also gained weight, ugh starting today we're going on a diet.” You said as you saw Ace arriving with your entire company of friends. He too was happy to see Yamato again after a long time and while he went to order for him.
“Aren't you pregnant?” Yamato asked you in a low tone of voice, explaining that everything you had had coincided with a pregnancy.
“I don't think so, we were always careful.” You responded as you saw your boyfriend walking back with the others and giving Yamato a look that you would talk about it later, even if you were skeptical. Ace had sat next to you with a steaming cup of hot chocolate and cream and you had changed the subject, Yamato had given you a look as if to say to get checked and then started joking with the others, while Ace held you close self.
🍁 Bonfire night 🍁
“If you're that sick, let's not go.” Ace had been categorical. Since that morning you have been nauseous and your head is heavy, you almost fell down the stairs.
“Ace I must have caught a cold, a Tachipirina and I'm fine.” You said while you were drinking tea instead of coffee, it was the only thing that made you feel good: "And then this evening all our friends are here and Yamato also managed to free herself for this night." It was the most beautiful part when the bonfires were lit for barbecues all together on the evening of the Autumn equinox and you would go there.
In the end Ace had to give in to your stubbornness, but at least he won the debate regarding a medical examination to be done, you had been too ill lately and this worried him.
When you arrived everyone was happy to see you, they had thought that until the last moment you couldn't come and finally you started making bonfires, Yamato stayed next to you the whole time at Ace's request, you might not have felt nauseous anymore, but the dizziness was still present.
“Eventually I'll go get some blood tests, maybe it's something missing.” You said to Yamato as you prepared the skewers to cook and Ace helped start the fire.
“If needed, I can hold Luffy for you.” She said your friend nodding to Ace that he was okay.
Your boyfriend worried a little too much.
“Did you manage to eat anything?” He asked you with a mug of beer in his hand and sitting next to you, he smelled like embers, even if he stung your nose it was a smell that didn't bother you.
“Yes, I ate something calm Ace.” You replied taking a sip of his beer and grimacing, you usually liked the beer he had.
“Mhm, my tastes are altered.” You said as you leaned against him and watched the fire dance in front of you. Ace held you close to him as you slowly fell asleep lulled by the sound of the chatter of the people dear to you and the warmth of the bonfire.
🍁 Pillow forts 🍁
Ace was a good, amazing older brother who managed to satisfy Luffy's requests in every way. So you weren't shocked when you saw the living room of old Newgate's house transformed into a battlefield with trenches and forts built with cushions and all the foster brothers - even Father - playing war.
You had gone out to get blood drawn, you were only gone for an hour and all this had happened.
You burst out laughing when you saw everyone appear with improvised helmets and helmets and pillows of all kinds to throw as weapons. In short, where did they come from?
But what made you laugh the most was the moment when Izo and Satch took you hostage to make Ace and Luffy's team lose. Needless to say, the two brothers jumped into the fray to pick you up while Marco and Whitebeard laughed heartily.
In the end, many more pillows flew than expected, but nothing broke.
Luffy fell asleep on you, while the others cleaned up the mess that was created.
“It was to keep Luffy calm, he heard us talking about your blood tests and he got worried.” He said Ace then sitting next to you, “How did they go? When will you have the results?” He asked, stroking your hair.
“They went well, Yamato didn't give me a single moment of peace. I'll have them in a couple of days.” You responded by leaning on Ace, the environment of the pillow fort was so comfortable that you felt protected, Ace was there to protect you.
🍁 Thunderstorms 🍁
The first flash had torn the sky and blown you both into the air. Then the downpour started and the force with which the rain hit the windows of your room was enough to keep you awake.
You hugged Ace, unable to sleep anymore. Neither of them liked times like those.
“Tomorrow we may not even go to university.” Ace said showing you the weather alert notification that had come from the university just then.
“It's better this way, tomorrow we had a full day until six in the afternoon.” You said as you got into a sitting position feeling a cramp in your stomach. You got up to go to the bathroom to put away that evening's dinner. Ace behind you holding your hair and rubbing your back.
“Still with this nausea?” He was worried, the tests were slow in arriving and your nausea showed no signs of disappearing.
“Ace will be the period maybe, don't worry I'm not even losing weight.” You told him after rinsing your mouth and tidying up the bathroom.
Another bolt of lightning had illuminated the room and set off the alarms of some cars.
“Text Sabo to see how he, Koala and Luffy are doing.” You had said as you made sure everything was in order in the living room.
“Look at them, all three of them are sleeping in the big bed.” Ace showed you the photo and you smiled.
Other notifications arrived from the other family group and you laughed when you saw what was written. There were those who were taking the oars and the boat.
You got back into the bed, with Ace massaging your stomach to give you some relief: "Do you have your period?" He asked you deep in thought.
“In a couple of weeks why?”
“So, I didn't remember when you were supposed to come.” He replied, smiling at you and leaving a kiss on your cheek.
The storm wouldn't let you sleep, you both knew it, so you both immediately came up with a good idea to pass the time.
🍁 Leaf piles 🍁
The real autumn had now arrived and the evidence was the leaves falling on your driveway. You had piled them up well, they waste the whole morning cleaning up the garden. In fact, you took advantage of the opportunity to prune the flowerbeds and spend time with your friends.
Kid and Law wasted no time competing to see who could remove the most, while Satch and Izo cleaned the gutters with Ace and Marco sat next to you while you repainted the chairs for the outside.
Luffy was arriving at that moment accompanied by Shanks and Makino. So you prepared a good cinnamon tea for everyone, catching Luffy and Ace in time before they threw themselves into the pile of dry leaves that had been collected, you had wasted the day tidying up the garden.
“So it doesn't show any signs of disappearing?” Makino had asked sitting next to you, it wasn't a mystery to anyone that your health wasn't the best at the moment and Ace had talked about it with the woman next to you to get some suggestions.
“No, there are days when I feel better, others when I can't even get up, not to mention the smells. Some perfumes I can't wear anymore.” You said, sipping the hot drink.
A notification from your phone had caught your attention, it was the test results.
Looking at them they all seem to be perfect, so it was quite strange, not even Law was strange looking at them from the phone.
Ace was behind you, he noticed your sad look, so he picked you up and ran towards the large pile of leaves you had collected and jumped into them. You yelped in surprise as the others joined you and you laughed.
Whatever the problem was you would figure it out and Ace was amazing at cheering you up.
🍁 Sharing blankets 🍁
Sharing blankets was a concept that didn't apply easily to the two of you. Or at least you tried to do it the right way, but everything was impossible. Ace moved during the night and his blankets were thrown all over you.
You had all tried them, but there was no way to share them well.
“Yamato moves too much.” You said while you were at the supermarket with your friend.
“Then throw him out of bed.” She had replied, using her height to reach for the pumpkin mixture on the top shelf.
You laughed out loud, thinking that Yamato was right in the end, then you received a notification from Ace showing you a Pail blanket with sleeves that he had just gotten with the message: maybe we can sleep better with this.
You laughed and headed towards the registers to pay, but not before buying some things you wanted at the last moment.
“You should take a test.” Yamato had been trying to convince you for days, ever since you told him about the nausea and so without thinking twice she went into the pharmacy and took a whole pack and put it in your bag. There was no way to argue and in the end you returned home with Ace having joined you shortly after.
“Ace learn to move less, or I would hurt my friend!” She told him Yamato grabbing his cheeks and Ace had responded in kind saying it wasn't her fault.
You said goodbye shortly after and returned home with a giant family pizza to eat in front of the TV. You felt like it as soon as you saw the flyer and so you were able to experiment with the new blanket with sleeves and the pocket to put the remote controls.
Ace was good at choosing blankets so you could stay closer to him.
🍁 Rain showers 🍁
“I'm stuck at dad's house because of these stupid rain showers.” Ace hated being away from you, but in old Newgate's house the tip had collapsed and he and his brothers had gone to repair it, of course the beach didn't help and it was strong again.
“Come on, love, don't worry, it'll be over in a couple of hours.” You reassured him as you opened your bag to empty it. You saw the Test Yamato had given you and now looked at where to put it in the bathroom while you continued talking to Ace.
“Ace, I'll call you back in a moment…” You had abruptly ended the call due to the nausea you felt at that moment. Yet it wasn't early in the morning.
You looked at the test left on the nightstand and mentally called yourself stupid.
You were sure of it, you couldn't be.
The sound of the rain woke you up from your thoughts and that's why you told yourself that to pass the time you would do one.
And while the symbol appeared on the display along with the numbers that would tell you how old you were, you heard the door open and Ace run into the bathroom towards you, wet from head to toe and worried dead after you hadn't called him back.
“Love what happened?” Ace had leaned over to see what you had in your hand, fearing the worst when he suddenly saw you blanch.
“Oh it can't be!” You said turning to him with the positive test in your hand, “Wait it could be a false positive, let's do another one.” You said taking another test and throwing Ace out of the bathroom, yelling at him to get you some pear juice.
Five tests later you were now sure of it.
“It's three months.” You said looking down, now everything was taking a very specific turn.
Ace was next to you, looking at you with a look you couldn't decipher. You knew that he had fears of pregnancy, his mother had died from complications after giving birth and was then given up for adoption by his father, he had always felt guilty about this.
You never expected that he would hug you and whisper those words in your ear: "Don't think who knows what, we will keep him and raise him." His voice was broken by tears.
You both cried, a little happy and a little scared for what was about to await you. But you were happy that Ace wanted to start a family with you, despite the shadows of his past.
🍁 Log cabin 🍁
Gathering all your friends and family in the wooden cabin in the mountains was not easy, at all. It wasn't even easy to keep the secret until then. Because Makino and Yamato had suspected something.
Yet both of you are enjoying everyone's surprised faces.
“Your tests showed none of this.” Law looked at the ultrasound in his hand and passed it to the others. Kid would tease him for months.
“They sent the tests wrong, they confused them with those of another patient.” You responded as you picked Luffy up and pressed a kiss to his cheek. He was the most elated of all. Along with Shanks he couldn't stop laughing.
“Ahhhh how beautiful! I'm so happy for you!” Yamato was over the moon and couldn't stop hugging you. In the end she was right and didn't hold back from saying I told you so.
Satch had fainted, literally fainted on the floor as soon as he heard the news, while Izo and Marco and all of Ace's other adoptive brothers were complimenting the two of you. With lots of jokes that further cheered everyone up.
“Now I can become a grandfather!” Whitebeard laughed, clapping Ace loudly on the shoulder and insisting that you two should move in with him.
“Dad…” Ace couldn't feel his shoulder anymore, but he was happy.
Koala did nothing but cry with happiness and Sabo was overjoyed to become an uncle. The only one who remained perplexed was Grandpa Garp, despite everything the old man was happy for you, but he would have gladly killed his grandson and would have had a very long fist-fighting chat with him.
“Come on Grandpa Garp you have a chance to be an amazing great grandfather.” You told him, taking him by the arm and bringing him closer to the others, in the end he too started laughing and joking with everyone else.
“So is he male or female?” Luffy's curiosity had attracted everyone's attention.
“We'll find out at the next check.” Ace had responded to his little brother by picking him up. Needless to say, more than half the world would participate in that check and the betting would start, you were sure of it.
You and Ace were happy though, despite all the stress you went through in those days and seeing people give you so close to you cheered you up a lot.
“You're about to become parents, I can't do it.” Satch held the ultrasound and smiled.
And as Ace hugged you a new awareness grew in you.
You were happy to have found a boy like him.
You were happy that a new chapter in your life was about to begin.

~ op men and their pregnant wife: she’s mad at them - series ~
————————————
Ft: Luffy, Ace, Sabo, Law
Genre: Fluff
Summary: Just op men doing what they do best but at the expense of how you feel.
——————————————-
Tumblr media
Sitting on one of the deck chairs Sanji had just brought you something cool to drink especially for you to cool you’re nerves. You love the man to death but he’s just so stubborn that you’re afraid the baby would have that same trait when he’s born.
Taking a sip from your drink you could feel someone sulking behind you and just from instincts your husband, soon to be king of the pirates knew he was in the dog house. “Y/n!!!! Stop ignoring me please!!!” Luffy whined moving himself to where he was now sitting infront of you. He raised his hands to touch your stomach but you slapped them away. “Don’t touch me Luffy. Those privileges are revoked.” You say crossing one leg over the other turning away from him.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were that hungry. If I would’ve know then I would’ve never taken from your plate.” He smiled awkwardly before scratching the back of his head. “You do this every night, did you forget I’m eating for two now! I have to each the right amount of food everyday or OUR baby might now be healthy.” I say emphasizing the our, he looked down in worry possibly reflecting on what he did.
“I’m sorry Y/n, to make it up to you and him, for dinner you can have my plate.” He tried to suggest but you shot it down, you know that the most important thing to Luffy is his food so why would you take that away? “No. Don’t worry about it. Usually I don’t care if you take from me but we’re having a baby. He’s the son of Captain Monkey D. Luffy. He NEEDS to be big and strong. So stop stealing from your son.” He laughed jumping up in excitement from being out of trouble.
Tumblr media
Laying in bed you had just finished taking a shower and having your heart to heart with your baby and was now resting in bed like the doctor ordered. The baby was due any day these next couple of weeks and it has everyone on the ship worried. The only person who you don’t know how they feel is Ace.
He’s been so absent this past month it’s really been bothering you, the only time you’d get to see him was when he was with white beard or if he’d come in your shared room thinking you were asleep. Tonight you wanted to stay up and wait for him to come so the two of you could talk.
The longer you stayed up the more upset you got and who knows who was going to get caught in the crossfire. An hour passed and Ace finally showed up looking very exhausted and tipsy, “Where have you been Ace.” You asked with your arms crossed while keeping your focus on the bed sheets.
“Out. Why?” He said taking his hat and shoes off, “Do you even want to start this family with me and be honest.” He looked at you like he was contemplating something before answering. “It’s not that I don’t wNt too, I’m just scared. I don’t want to talk about this right now Y/n.”
“Ace what do you think I am? Everyday? If you were too scared to have this baby then I should’ve gott-” “Don’t finish that sentence.” His head was turned towards you but you didn’t want to look at him. “I’m carrying the baby, I’m protecting the baby with my body, but I can’t be the only one caring for this baby when it comes out. Which is any day now if you knew that.” You scoffed scooting to make yourself comfortable in the bed.
“I did know, I’ve been asking everyone I know for tips on how to better take care of you and the baby. I’m scared. I should’ve talked to you about this and I know that. Just don’t ice me out Y/n, that doesn’t fit well with your personality.” He stood up and went into the bathroom leaving you alone in your thoughts.
You two were only having issues because of miscommunication and he was bold enough to admit that. Maybe the hormones were making you too stubborn to forgive him just that quick. He came back out after taking a shower getting ready to get into bed with you but you stopped him. “I don’t want you sleeping here tonight. The baby also said the same thing, they said their father needs to learn his lesson.” He smirked walking over to your side of the bed to place a kiss on your cheek then he grabbed a blanket and made himself comfortable on the couch.
“Goodnight lovely wife of mine.” He says forcing a small smile on your lips, “Goodnight Husband.”
Tumblr media
“Honey please tell me why you’re sulking at my desk?” Sabo asked looking up from the papers from across the room. He leaned against the table while crossing his arms waiting for you to respond. “Y/n?” You looked up at him then looked away.
“Why am so here? You could’ve left me at home.” You say playing with something that was sprawled on his desk. “I wanted you to come so that we could spend time together.” He said stepping closer to you. “I feel like I’m apart of your desk. YOUR baby and I don’t feel appreciated at all, I’m so sick and tired of you asking me to come and spend time with you at work when all you do-”
Sabo forced you to stop rambling with just a simple kiss. He sat down on his knees using his hands to rub your thighs to calm you down. “Look, I had every intention of taking you out today but plans ended up changing at the last minute.” He caressed your cheeks pulling you closer to him once again to plant an even longer kiss on your lips. He smiled into the kiss wrapping his arms around your thighs to pick you up to place you on his lap.
“You do this all the time.” You say crossing your leg over one another, he just laughed in the crook of your neck pulling you closer to him with one arm while his other hand rubbed on your stomach. “OUR baby is doing just fine. It’s his mama that’s stressed over a minor issue. Do you want to get out of here?”
You looked off to the side while wrapping your arms around his neck, you leaned your head on top of his and let out a small sigh. “No, it’s fine. Keep working.” You say and he just sits there rubbing your stomach. “Let’s go to our favorite spot, how does that sound?”
Tumblr media
You and Law had gotten into an argument a few days ago because of him overworking himself. He thought you were being irrational and weren’t thinking straight because of your pregnancy hormones.
So you had been staying to yourself for the bast couple of weeks because Law was too prideful to apologize. It was around one am and you can’t sleep peacefully without law by your side. But you won’t apologize first either, you’ve done it too many times even if it wasn’t your fault that you two got into an argument.
You were laying in bed as Bepo was feeding you a bowl full of fruit because you were told by the doctor to rest in bed. “Y/n I’ve got to say, your resolve is impeccable.” He said placing another strawberry in your mouth and you just sighed and gave him a small smile. “Is there a reason why you don’t want to speak with Captain Law.” You turn to your side with your back facing Bepo as he spoke.
“Law scares me.” You said fidgeting with the bed sheets, “How does the Captain scare you? He’d never do anything to hurt you.” “Everything he does scares me. He doesn’t even want a baby and when I threatened to break up with him he seemed relieved.” Bepo gasped and ran to the other side of the bed to see your face. Tears were sliding down your cheeks, “I was an idiot…” Bepo looked up at something then started rubbing your back to calm you down.
“Bepo I don’t care what happens to me I just want my daughter to be safe, even if you throw the both of us off of the Tang I won’t be bad.” Bepo continued to rub your back as more tears fell down your face, “So this is where you’ve been hiding.” Bepo flinched and stood up apologizing for not saying anything to the both of you and then running out the room.
Law closed the door behind him and locked it, you still didn’t want to speak to him so you covered yourself with the blanket so that he wouldn’t see you crying. “Y/n, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you upset.” You rolled your eyes because it didn’t seem like a sincere apology.
The blanket started to move and you thought he was trying to see your face but he moved it to where he could see your stomach. He placed his hands on them and the gave your stomach peppering many kisses while saying things that couldn’t hear. Moving the blanket you looked down at him and he glanced your way turning slightly so that you couldn’t hear whatever secret he was telling your daughter.
After a couple of minutes he stood up and grabbed the bowl Bepo had and started to feed you the fruit. You looked off to the side not accepting it but he forced you to look at him and eat the fruit. “Our daughter and I just had a conversation right now and we both agreed that I was in the wrong. And I’m sorry for not looking at the situation from your point of view.” He kept his head down not expecting you to forgive him, a small smile appeared on your face watching pout towards your stomach.
“You may look dumb but you can be smart sometimes.” You cover your mouth trying to hide the blushing smile appearing as he looked at you with an annoyed expression. He kissed your stomach before standing up and placing one on your cheek, then your other cheek then finally one on your lips. He held himself there for a moment longer before pulling away and smiling.

Part 2 of ASL being raised by Shanks.
Previous - Next
As they walk back down the mountain Shanks asks Luffy who the other two boys are, and what was going on with the bluejam pirates (he wants to know just how much pain the crew is going to put them through before they kill them)
Luffy is more than happy to tell him all about Ace and Sabo. “They’re my big brothers!” And Luffy rambles on and on about how they met and all of their adventures. Talking about how his big brothers are the coolest.
Shanks is nodding along. But on the inside he’s mind is spinning. Luffy won’t leave these boys. Luffy hates losing people. But can he take these two boys with him. It was already a risk to take Luffy with him but he was willing to do it so Luffy won’t be alone anymore. But Luffy isn’t alone anymore. But this place is obviously not safe.
As he’s thinking Luffy continues on with his stories. Sabo is a little embarrassed by how much Luffy is talking them up. But he also loves his little brother a lot and it’s nice to hear how much Luffy loves them. At the same time he feels awful. His father is the one who brought the Bluejam pirates here. Ace and Luffy got hurt because of him. If this stranger, Shanks, hadn’t shown up Ace and Luffy wouldn’t have been killed. And then what would he have? How can Sabo ever forgive himself for his brothers getting hurt because of him? How can he ever repay Shanks for saving them.
Ace in the other hand is hard pouting. While it’s great to hear Luffy talk about how great they are and how much he loves them (which is always amazing for Ace) he can’t let go of what just happened. He was to weak to protect Sabo and Luffy. If Shanks hadn’t arrived he would have lost them both. How is he suppose to be their big brother if he can’t protect them?
Shanks smiles at Luffy’s stories but notices that Luffy hasn’t said anything about the pirates yet. Something quite odd for Luffy, he asks “So how do the pirates play into all of this Anchor?” And that gets the attention of both Sabo and Ace. They don’t know this man. How much should they tell him? But before Ace and Sabo can come up with a plan Luffy’s mouth is already open
“Oh one of their member Kidnapped me a while back and tried to make me tell them where Ace and Sabo’s treasure was. But don’t worry I didn’t tell him anything!” And he says it with his stupidly wide smile on his face.
But Shanks has stopped walking because “what do you mean he tried to make you tell him?” He keeps his words careful, he doesn’t want to make Luffy feel like he’s in trouble, but his Haki is shaking under his skin, read to be released at any moment. If what he thinks happens did, none of those pirates are living.
“Well they,” Sabo is trying to explain everything. He can tell this man is protective of Luffy, but just because helped them against the Bluejams doesn’t mean he won’t turn on Ace and Sabo once he realizes the role they played in Luffy getting kidnapped in the first place.
But it’s to late, and for once it’s not Luffy’s big mouth that ruins Sabo’s plan, it’s Ace’s. Ace who is so wrapped up in his own self loathing at this point he doesn’t think of repercussions when he spits out. “They kidnapped and tortured him all because we stole some treasure from them.”
“They did what.” And that snaps Ace to attention because he hears it now the rage in Shanks voice. He and Sabo are trading nervous glances waiting to see where this will go.
Meanwhile Shanks isn’t mad at them at all. But the pirates oh he’s going to make sure they pay. But before he can go storming back to where he left the pathetic crew Luffy rest his palm against his cheek. And just like that all of his attention is back on the little sun he is holding in his arms. “Don’t worry Ace and Sabo saved me and we became brothers afterward so it was all worth it.”
Ace and Sabo want to hug their stupid little brother because how could he say all the pain he went through was worth it just because they got to be brothers. Shanks calms and smiles back at his boy before turning to his son’s brothers. “Then I owe them my thanks for keeping you safe while I was away.” Ace and Sabo puff up with pride while also finally relaxing with Shanks’ presence. He’s not dangerous. At least not to them.
The rest of their trip is rather uneventful until the make it to Party Bar. Hongo takes the kids off Shanks hands as soon as the get to the bar. Makino’s presence helping all three boys relax but Ace is watching every move Hongo makes like a hawk. Meanwhile Shanks is filling in Benn and the others on what had happened with the pirates.
Luffy eats devil fruit
While the boys are getting treated Luffy is left unattended for 1 moment. Sabo’s getting treated, Ace is watching Hongo’s every move. And Luffy is a 7 year old with no impulse control and no boundary’s. He’s hungry. Starving actually, and there’s this funny purple fruit just siting in a chest on the table. He’s sure no one will be to mad if he eats it. Except it’s like super gross.
Shanks walks in right at this moment, sees child eating devil fruit, and runs right over grabbing him by his ankles and telling Luffy to spit it out. Ace is screaming at him to put Luffy down until Luffy’s legs stretch and he’s face collides with the ground.
Everyone’s in shock for a moment. The Ace is charging Shanks asking him what HE had done to Luffy. Shanks has to explain to three hysterical little boys about how Luffy just ate a devil fruit and how he can no longer swim.
Luffy is super upset for like 3 seconds before he realizes he has super powers. (He’s still super upset but he’s distracting himself and everyone else)
Sabo isn’t thrilled with the situation but there’s nothing they can do now. Luffy seems fine with it. It just means they will have to watch him more.
Ace is pissed. He was already afraid of losing Luffy and Sabo. They are all he really has, and he already almost lost them just an hour ago. Now his little brother has a major weakness. One accidental dip in the sea and Ace could lose him forever and it’s all this stupid pirates fault!!!
Next time. The return of the mountain bandit
Ace and Shanks finally talking
Luffy taking his first dip in the sea.
Also I have two ways to write this. On with Mishanks as the ship and one with no shipping which should I do?

Me, vibrating at a frequency that could shatter glass: I wanted a Koby-and-Luffy-Childhood-Friends AU and that turned into a Koby-grows-up-with-the-ASL-brothers AU and THAT turned into me imagining Koby still becoming a marine (Garp is THRILLED TO TEARS. Ace and Luffy give him a lot of grief for it but they're still lowkey proud of him) and one day, completely by chance, he stumbles across the Chief Of Staff Of The Revolutionary Army.
Wanted posters for the Revolutionary Army aren't passed around like the posters for pirates and criminals are, because it's actually very common for a would-be bounty hunter to get recruited to the cause if they seek them out, and the government doesn't want that, so only ranked officers are allowed to actually have them. And Koby, who recently made rank, did find himself staring for a very long time at the slightly blurry black-and-white picture of Sabo(?), Rank Unknown -- but a picture doesn't do a face justice, and he's been carrying that ghost with him for years, so he ultimately set it aside. Told himself not to wish for impossible things.
Only to, less than a week later, end up helping Sabo (Sabo, it's Sabo, holy shit it's Sabo) escape from a marine base. Koby will go to the gallows for this if he gets caught, but both of his other sworn brothers are pirates. He became a marine knowing that if he had to make the choice, he would chose family over duty. Granted, he didn't expect to have to make that choice for at least another few years, but here we are.
The two don't speak much -- there isn't time. Koby gives hushed orders and Sabo whispers clarifying questions and they breathe warnings back and forth, both of them stretching their observation Haki as far as it will go as they tiptoe out of the base.
This boy feels familiar. Sabo can't explain it, but he felt it the second he laid eyes on this young captain. The pink hair, the big eyes. It's worse now that they're standing right next to each other, Haki signatures pressed so close together it's impossible to ignore. This boy feels like feathers and steel, like something soft and warm and earnest wrapped around a core that is solid and steady and unfaltering. He is the waves that erode the shore, patient and gentle but inevitable in their quest for change. Sabo shouldn't be able to read the soul of a stranger this clearly, but he can, somehow. It feels good next to his own roiling storm clouds and piercing cliffs, it feels grounding, but he can't help the strange thought that there should be fire and forest here, somehow. There should be sunlight.
The boy feels familiar, and Sabo hates that he is the one following behind. Which is stupid, because he doesn't know where they're going and obviously the one who does should take the lead, but every corner they turn and patrol they dodge has the spaces between his shoulderblades winding tighter. He wants the captain tucked safely behind him, with Sabo in the lead where he can take the brunt of whatever danger they face. This, too, is strange.
They make it out of the base and down to the docs, where Koby gets Sabo set up -- the guards change shift in thirteen minutes, if Sabo waits there'll be an opening for him to steal a boat and get out of here -- and Sabo takes the opportunity to ask "Are you... sympathetic to the cause?"
The boy stills.
"You aren't on our books, is all. I don't recognize you as an officer. If this is you looking to join, I'm afraid I don't have time to vet you right now, but I can arrange for you to meet with a recruiter--"
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" It comes out a hoarse, furious whisper. Koby wants to scream.
Sabo blinks. "I'm sorry?"
"Is that how you justified it? Oh, it's been so long, they probably forgot about me? Is that what you told yourself?" He needs to keep quiet, he needs to get back inside before he's noticed missing, they can't do this right now -- "Or maybe you just figured out of sight out of mind, right? Since clearly that worked out fine for you!"
Koby waves a hand up and down Sabo, a gesture meant to encompass -- this! All of this. His fading grin and his fancy coat and his fucking wanted poster.
"Chief of Staff. That's impressive. I'm not surprised you're some big shot, it suits you. Are you having fun, Sabo? Is your grand adventure treating you well?"
"I don't know what --" but Koby can't let him talk, because Koby can't breathe, because Sabo is here and he's alive and he's acting like Koby is a stranger to him and if Koby doesn't spit out the words he's suddenly choking on then he's going to collapse into screaming sobs instead and they can't afford that right now.
"Let me guess, secret identities? Code names? It's all so hush-hush, so cloak-and-dagger, you were sworn to secrecy? I don't care. I don't fucking care what reasons you used to justify letting us think you were dead! For ten years! It was selfish, Sabo. It was cruel. And I--" He gasps. Coughs. Sucks in a heavy breath until the salt of the sea breeze settles in his lungs and he can tell himself the wetness on his face is ocean spray. "We mourned you. Ace and Luffy are still mourning you. Dadan and the bandits and Makino and Gramps. Everyone, all of us -- we have all been carrying this grief and you just--!"
Breathe in. Breathe out. Stay quiet. "If this is the life you want, then okay. Okay. But don't you stand there and pretend I'm a stranger to you, and expect me to play along. Don't you do that to me. Not to me."
