fixated on the fact that Luffy’s heartbeat is referred to as “drums of liberation,” which means Law not only held the divine instrument of freedom in his hands, he also healed it.

The most illegal thing Koby has done is learn a divine language... Which is only a little bit more illegal than dating a God
So.
Thoughts on language/religion in regards to this au. They aren't fully fleshed out but I'll clean it up as I go.
Learning a divine language is kinda taboo, like, you can learn them, and it's certainly less frowned upon than poneglyph, but outward practice isn't really accepted. Many people who are religious or follow religious practices are well versed in divine languages, in order to feel closer to their respective Gods.
Besides, religion makes people feel at ease and the world government is pretty relaxed when it comes to punishing those for worshiping or following their Gods. With how many there are, and how deeply a lot of it is ingrained into so many cultures, it'd also be a pain in the ass to control both that and pirates.
Koby learns through the people he meets while traveling. A lot of them think it's odd but fascinating that a young, wide-eyed marine wants to learn something like that. They indulge him anyways.
He did get better at understanding the language but his pronunciation isn't great, kinda hard to make some of the sounds Luffy makes too. Especially when he isn't used to talking like that, nor are most people. Demigods have an easier time picking up on speaking the actual... Words?
Robin understands the language of the Gods, and the rest of the Straw Hats do pick up on it a little bit just through exposure to Luffy. Luffy isn't the greatest teacher, but having people who want to understand him is always exciting. He is thrilled when he meets up with Koby on Water 7 and Koby can understand him.

Zoro does care about Luffy and his newly acquired form, but in the way he's been caring since his captain started with his gears. he cares because he has to know the side effects and how they affect Luffy. Luffy is a God, but that isn't news for Zoro, not when he's been holy from the very start. if Zoro fought for Luffy, if he left light kisses on his cheeks and hugged him as tightly as possible whenever they have to separate and will bite him and let him wear his shirts to sleep, and if he prays by helping him whenever he wants to do something stupid, and if he prays when he lets Luffy drag him everywhere like he's a ragdoll, and if he prays every single time he wakes up next to him. if Zoro believes so strongly in him, it's because he's holy in the way he's human, in the way he's strong all the while he is able to bleed, how he's able to laugh and cry, the way he gets angry on behalf of his friends when you hurt them, a man who frees and helps and yet hates when they call him a hero, he's reckless and makes mistakes, he's greedy and possessive, and he learns, he gets better, he's not the same person he was two years ago and he won't the same as he is now two years into the future. Luffy is a God, Zoro cares about this fact, in the way he's been caring for a long time now because it's not new for him, in the way he will care while he makes sure his captain can get what he wants

upon crimson wings
zoro x afab reader
cw: blood (slight bloodplay), religious terms, implied body worship, a little steamy at the end but generally SFW
a/n: continuing my current zoro obsession with this fic that i couldn't get out of my head (sorry). also messing with formatting this time instead of being lazy

Zoro was not a religious man. No, he found the very notion of reverence visceral. Though as he turns back toward you, both having emerged victorious after a merciless assault from a group of marines, he's met with a heavenly scene.
You're facing away from him, surrounded by the wages of spilled blood that pooled beneath your feet, the remnants of singing steel permeates the now hallowed ground upon which you both stand. There was a certain beauty in chaos, and never had Zoro felt it quite as clearly as when he watches you tear into your foes with reckless abandon. The image makes him shiver - not in fear or revulsion, but at something far more primal, deep within his gut.
He's speechless as he observes you wiping the excess carnage from your blade and his eyes widen in delight at the sight before him, his attention fixated on your divine form. It was truly beautiful - a stunning vision that he couldn't have even dreamed up.
"I'd say we took care of that little rat problem." Your words are heavy with pride and exertion, and the sound ignites a fire within his veins.
And when you turn to him, visage tattered and torn and splattered in crimson, his mouth goes dry. You're immaculate, and for once in his life, Zoro is fighting the urge to exalt, to sing praise, to deify you.
A low rumble escapes Zoro's lips as he continues to stare like a starved man would stare at a feast. He's seen you wield that blade countless times, but never have you looked as divine as you did right now, standing amid a symphony of steel and blood. You're right, the two of you could handle these rats with ease, but the more pressing matter was the effect you were currently having on his heart. Zoro takes a step forward, taking in the vision of your face, bloodied but not conquered.
You peer curiously at him as you sheath your sword, taking note of the lack of a usual snarky reply to your words. "Zoro?"
His eye flickers to yours, lips slightly parted in awe. You were a muse that had descended to grace him with your presence, and any words he tried to muster died in his throat. "Yeah?" He manages to ask quietly, his voice a raspy, barely audible whisper.
It dawns on you then - exactly what he's thinking.
He wants you.
Your war-torn, bloodthirsty appearance had overwhelmed Zoro, and it was clear in his gaze. Your lips twist into a devious smirk, keen on taking advantage of this rare opportunity of power you've been given over him. You know exactly how to proceed, and you do something he doesn't expect, something that has his nails digging into his palms.
You lick blood from your lips.
Blood runs cold beneath Zoro's skin, a primal, raw emotion fills his mind with urges he cannot fight. Ever a man of action over words, and before you can react, he's upon you. Large, calloused hands envelop your waist his lips were on yours in a starved, feverish kiss. The metallic tang of blood only spurs him further into devoted bliss.
You writhe in his grasp as he leaves your lips to trail his tongue down your cheek and onto your neck. He's fully prepared to kneel at your altar, to partake of and rejoice in each beautiful proverb that falls from your sweet tongue, to bathe in every hymn you bestow.
Zoro was not a religious man, but he was ready to worship you.

An angel and a werewolf walk into a cafe. It's going to be a good day. <3 And with that, my rainbow Redacted series has come to a close! I may revisit the concept with some other colours and characters but I am REALLY happy with my progress the past several weeks, and the colour constraints' impact on my art <3. And just... being able to test on and find love for new stylistic techniques through it :333. I will be taking a small break for a week or two to catch up on some University assignments, and hopefully complete my giant trove of Redacted Character Design mock ups to post here >:))) So be prepared for that giant trove soon enough hehehehehe.

luffy has always been a sort of religion to the straw hats. his laughter is his light is his love is his joy, and he spreads it with glee wherever he goes.
the sunny is infused with his will, his freedom, and every breath they take, every pledge they make to him, every delighted laugh at his playful antics, every quietly uttered aye, captain — each is a prayer in and of itself. their dinner table is a shrine filled with offerings and the ship is the church in which they worship but never kneel, because luffy would not be luffy if he and his nakama were not equal.
all those that he meets become devoted to him and his cause, entranced by the blinding warmth of the bouncing god shaped like a boy who laughs and laughs and embraces them with arms that feel like coming home. to ally with him is a pilgrimage, following in his sandaled, flame-bright footsteps as if tracing a delicate prayer through sun-warmed sand. those who he protect may bask in his warmth, but his wrath burns white-hot and tastes like ash in the mouths of false gods.
his laughter is a soldering barrage that marches on and on, howling beat loudly, heart! joyboy, joyboy, the burnbright sun has returned! but, oh, whispers the sky, he has been here all along! he has lived in the quiet prayers of his nakama, because he was their god long before he was nika, because his grin is a promise and his guffaw is a war cry, and the road to freedom is paved by his rays.
luffy is-the-sun-and-has-been-the-sun-and-will always-be-the-sun, and when his family worships him he will always worship them right back. a god, after all, is built not only on the belief of others but the belief of a god in those most dedicated to him, and the delicate reverence that nestles in the nooks and crannies of the sunny is anything but one-sided.
