Hello Kate!

I readed some of your writings and I...They're so good that I can't stop reading them again and again that's why..

If it's make you feel uncomfortable - plesde ignore this message. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable in way possible.

Can I have a small story about Platonic Strawhats (Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Robin, Franky, Chopper and Brook from One Piece) with Teen! Female! Reader?

By that I mean, Y/n became their crewmate very long time ago (after Zoro joined) and despite do not have any devil fruit abilities - she was kind of pillow of support in the crew. Always kind and understanding towards the crew but sometimes she is really shy with people.

However, one day - the pirate crew approach them and they were one of the crew that Y/n was been before Strawhats. They had not really intentions about Y/n from the start - they wanted to use her trust for their own good but Y/n run away after she find out about it.

I just really interested what they gonna do. But, again if you feel uncomfortable - please ignore this.

Take care of yourself and eat healthy!

Have a great day!

Oh my goodness🥺 everyone is just so kind. I’m so glad you like my writing! It makes me super happy to hear that! I really hope you enjoy this one!

Also I haven’t finished the show so the characters are all up to when Robin joins. Sorry about that!

And you take care of yourself, too!

(Y/N) never really understood pirates. Sure, she’s been in a ruthless pirate crew before, and in a better one now, but she still can’t understand them. Understand their motive.

Luffy has told her many times that his goal is to find the One Piece. But what is his motive to find it? To look for it?

(Y/N) would never know, and perhaps she doesn’t want to know. She felt comfortable where she is now. Comfortable with the home she has now. With the real friends.

She never thought she’d say that. Real friends. Gosh, she was so overjoyed to say that and hear it out loud, she could throw a party for it.

Of course she’d never do that.

She woke up that morning with a smile. Finding herself smiling all day, matter of fact. Even her crew members got suspicious.

“Are you the real (Y/N)? You’ve never smiled this much.” Sanji cringes at her, a cigarette in hand.

Usopp was too scared to say anything, nodding to agree with Sanji.

“Yeah. It’s kinda scary.” Zoro says.

“Oh, would you guys stop? Is it impossible for me to be happy?” (Y/N) laughs.

They chuckle with her. Robin and Nami walk out onto the deck, their smiles turning into confused ones as they look at their crew mate.

“(Y/N)? Did something happen?” Robin asks, gently patting her shoulder.

Nami looks worried. “Yeah. Did the boys do something to you?”

“Not you guys, too!” (Y/N) groans.

“Uh oh, is someone sick?” Luffy’s voice echoes through the wind. The crew looks up at the head of the ship. Their Captain sitting at his usual spot. “Do we need to get Chopper?”

“No! I’m fine!” (Y/N) calls over to her captain. The crew laughs together.

————

The day went smoothly. Everyone was enjoying themselves, floating along the ocean like no care in the world. At the moment, they didn’t have a set place to go.

But soon the sky turned dark as gray clouds set above, covering the sun. The crew looked around, expecting a storm to come through. But nothing was coming. It was a calm, dark day.

While trying to figure it out, (Y/N) sees something from afar. Something way too familiar.

A dark ship was heading straight for them. She could see the familiar Captain standing at the tip of his ship.

(Y/N) froze. She knew exactly who that was, and never would she see them again.

She joined the Strawhats just after Zoro did. But a while before that, she was in another pirate crew. She thought it was a kind, gently crew. A crew that took her in, and were even friendly with her. But as time passed, she didn’t realize the lies they’ve been telling her. All they wanted was her trust for their advantage. So she ran away, and never looked back.

Then Luffy found her, distressed and alone. She couldn’t trust him at first, but she noticed his kindness. Is this what true kindness is? Was her first thought of seeing her Captain.

But as she stood there, frozen to the ground, Luffy and Zoro knew exactly what was going on. They quickly stood in front of their friend, protecting her from anything to come their way.

“You’re alright, (Y/N).” Zoro says to comfort her.

“Remember, we are your friends!” Luffy announces with a smile.

The other hop up with the two. “We don’t know what’s going on, but we’re right with yah!” Nami claims.

“Yeah! We’ll protect you!” Usopp says.

“I may be small, but I can still protect you!” Chopper stands in front of (Y/N)’s feet.

The others then agreed, saying their own words as well. (Y/N) had tears rolling down her cheeks.

So this is what real friends are like.

She steps forward, between Luffy and Zoro, a confident look in her eyes.

Zoro and Luffy look at her in shock, questioning her actions.

“We’re friends, aren’t we? Friends never leave each other behind.”

Their confidence grew even more.

Fanfic Friday #3

Oh god, oh dear, oh no. This was supposed to come out last Friday, and yet it was delayed for a week without any news. I mean, I did technically tweet it last Friday but maybe anyone who follows me can forgive me because this week you get both? And.... er... I’ll try to do better? Maybe I’ll do another post on my real thoughts about Fanfic Friday, but if you’re reading this, and you just want to get to the good stuff, let me delay no more!

I return to Fanfic Friday’s roots (after only a single week off, ha) of seeing how I would teak a non-canon arc. Heck, maybe I'll have constructive creativity for a canon arc one day. But not this day. Because I was originally sending these out as tweets, my thoughts in places are brief. Adventure in the Ocean's Naval was fine. It was palatable. But I don't want a slightly overcooked hamburger and some fries. I want steak with garlic mashed potatoes.

Things I liked:

The mystery of the island, however short lived

The guardian monsters

Captain Joke didn't have friends like Luffy, and that was his downfall

Things that could be improved:

Usopp/Nami didn't do much of anything

Magic not explained

who cares about Joke?

As before, I'll keep the premise. Mysterious island, land of adventure? check. But this time, there's no octopus, no immediate fight. Luffy and Zoro andd the ship still fall down below because hijinks. (maybe Zoro is napping and doesn't keep a careful eye on Luffy, who gets bored and starts messing around on the ship, or he sees a cool bug. And him running around somehow dislodges the anchor long enough that they fall). So they all end up down below, and they meet a rather shady old man (think Jafar disguised as the beggar) who tells them about this wicked cool treasure of the gods. It's on the other side of the island if they're brave enough to get it. It is said to grant any wish.

Usopp and Nami are probably freaked out, Sanji would very calmly be like "who would fall for that?" but Luffy has decided to go check it out, and Zoro is just like "he's the captain." So they end up going, some more willingly than others Now, you'll notice this call to adventure is some kind of bad guy (you know what? Make it a poorly disguised oni. Everyone notices except Luffy), instead of some kid. Firstly, I'm usually not a fan of the kid characters- even if they're related to the deeper themes. But also, maybe there *is* a village down here, and they meet a crying Hamu who is like "don't try to go get the treasure! Even Captain Joke, the hero pirate of the village couldn't do it!" But why would that deter Luffy? Answer: it wouldn't.

Luffy could be all "Yeah, but I bet he wasn't as strong as I am. I'm going to be King of the Pirates." (King of the What Now?) Maybe Hamu comes with to watch this idiot in action, maybe he just stays behind. The crew will come back through for the ship anyways and they can tell him about their adventure. Now, they get halfway across a suspiciously empty field, when all of a sudden these stone walls come up from the ground, creating a labyrinth and separating the crew. Luffy might try to rocket up but there's some magical barrier. Also you can't go back the way you came, inwards!

Now, Luffy will basically get lost and increasingly frustrated. I cannot stress how funny this mental image is, as he yells and rampages but to no avail. I don't think the Straw Hats can hear each other. As I mentioned in episode 25 of the podcast, it'd be interesting if the Straw Hats faced off against the former Joke pirates. You get just enough characterization through dialogue and actions that you feel like you actually know this character. Also, I want to touch on the nature of the Joke pirates. Joke was betrayed, just like in the original. But instead of faceless shapes, there are 4 you can clearly see. Also the hint of *something* off-camera giving off a dark red light.

Spoilers: But because Joke's commanders were evil-hearted, they became tainted, causing their forms to morph and become... well, weird and monstrous. We can imply the other no-name members of the Joke pirates were killed in the labyrinth or by these commanders

Anyways. Zombie commander guys facing Luffy's crew one on one. Zoro first. He faces a man clad in weird armor (because One Piece), who constantly bangs on his breastplate, simply saying "Strong! Strong!" He's very bulky and has tusks. Maybe make him look walrus-ish. Anyways, he's very strong, and he hits hard. Zoro can't pierce his armor, and there's no obvious weakpoints. This guy's deal is that he just wants to be strong, as a dark reflection of Zoro's own ambition. He wants it so bad he'd sell out his captain to make a deal with a monster. Eventually Zoro wins, I think by using the butt of his sword to BANG right on the dude's helmet, and then breaking the monster commander's weapon, maybe burying him beneath the rubble created by slashing the walls surrounding them. And of course Zoro gets a badass line. "What good is strength if you won't use it for your captain?" Because he is a GOOD, LOYAL BOY. Or maybe a comment on his enemy's internal weakness. "If you're too weak to stand and you get knocked down, stand up again even stronger"

Sanji's opponent: A rockstar with a wicked cool guitar and cool shades and a flashy jacket. Yes, I said a rockstar. This is One Piece which has all sorts of crazy character designs. Does it make sense that he has an electric guitar? Do I care? The ideological reason they're suited for each other is because this guy (maybe he's like a creature of the lagoon. Yeah that's it. He's more frog-ish) likes ladies but he's vain about it and only cares about himself (betrayed Joke because being a priate wasn't cool anymore). Anyways he fires actual music note shaped projectiles by strumming his guitar, and Sanji can't really get close at first. That is, until... maybe Froggy says he'll hunt down Nami? Yeah, and then Sanji kicks tthrough these weird music notes, runs forward and kicks him in the face!

"Coolness can't be forced," Sanji remarks, adjusting his tie. "And no woman would ever want to kiss you." (Also, side note, I'm not a huge fan of the shonen trope of suddenly becoming stronger when someone is threatened. But I couldn't think of a way for Sanji to win otherwise. I need to get better at this. That’s what having a weekly schedule is meant to help with!)

Usopp's opponent: A squid looking guy who hides behind cover and always runs from battle. He betrayed his captain because he was afraid of what would happen if they continued their journey. Usopp tries to snipe him when he comes up from behind cover but Squid boy is very fast. Usopp wins by purposefully acting all angry and firing a bunch of his explosion stars, secretly taking out the cover further down the battle field until the next time squiddy tries to run he gets blasted in the back. "How can a man run from danger for his whole life?" He asks with a smirk. Bonus points if his knees are still shaking while he says it

Nami: She faces a fairy. Yes, a lady who got all shrunk by the monster's power. Maybe a flying sea horse-ish type design, to keep it aquatic. She, like Nami, is money obsessed, and didn't want to share her treasure with Joke. She's another agile one and shoots giant bubbles. Can Nami polevault with that pole of hers? Yeah, let's say she can. So she leaps over one of the bubbles and maybe throws a coin past the lady, causing her lady to quickly look away- unable to resist the allure of gold- just in time for a nice solid smack of the pole. "Try thinking about others once in a while" is Nami's line before she continues through the maze.

Now, it seems the maze is magic in nature (no duh), and the Straw Hats (minus their captain) have come out of the maze. And before them is the treasure. But before they can approach, the red light from earlier. oh no! It's the old man from earlier! (who could have guessed???????) He gets huge and reveals his true form, growing in size, saying he'll never give up his treasure. But before the battle can start, you hear it. CRACK! WHUMP! CRACK! Cracks are appearing on some part of the maze wall behind them. It explodes and in comes an enraged Luffy! Angry that he was lost for so long. Bonus points, Sanji kicks a piece of rubble that was going to hit him, Zoro cuts a piece that was flying at him, and the eternal butt monkey Usopp gets hit in the head.

Luffy: Who's this? Zoro: Dunno Sanji: That's the old guy from earlier. Luffy: Whaaaat?? Grandpa wasn't a good person?? Nami: Honestly, captain... Usopp: *recovered from the rubble* Hey, Luffy, what was that, you jerk!!!

Now, the point is that this monster likes to sow chaos. Just like in the original special, Joke was betrayed because he had crappy friends. And The Straw Hats seem incredibly disorganized. So the monster king grins. "How would you like to join me and I'll grant you your wish?" Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, each of them get all quiet and start walking over to accept the deal. Luffy is watching them, a look of mild confusion on his face. They stand right in front of the thing and the monster grins. "Good," he says. All four of them at once give him a solid whack, kick, shot, and slide. "As if!!!" They cry in union. Luffy grins and punches the big creature in the gosh darn mouth. Well, probably the nose but I like to say "punch in the mouth"

He's not defeated *that* easily, and maybe if I spent more time rewriting and drafting this I could come up with an exciting narrative. The point is that the monster is too strong for even Luffy on their own, but they fight as a team.

You might think Luffy tends to prefer to fight alone, and maybe he does for a while. But the monster *could* wish himself stronger, and it could look like Luffy is about to lose when his crew mates save him, allowing him to prepare for an even stronger punch that will finish it. And of course the wish granting gem breaks. Of COURSE Luffy sends the monster flying and he smashes into the thing and it gets launched with him over the horizon or something. Of course everyone's mad but Luffy shrugs it off, since it's more about the journey than the destination So... yeah, that's basically it. Luffy comes back to the village, Hamu is like "How did you do it?" and Luffy just grins and is like "with help from my crew." And it's a sweet moment. Hopefully you liked it! I feel like this was the longest one yet.

Happy Friday everyone!
