it’s late at night when he arrives at your doorstep; you’re in the middle of flipping through a magazine, the ceiling fan silent and slow, the heat a little more than tolerable as you sip a cool drink. you have no intention of entertaining anyone, but when you recognize the heaviness behind the loud knocks, you make an exception.
of course, you do, there’s no other choice but to do so.
sir crocodile is a man that takes, and takes, and takes without remorse; there’s an insatiable greed — hunger, rather — that he can’t seem to satisfy. or maybe it’s that he’s been denying himself for years and it’s finally become too much for him. a small, quiet buzz infiltrates your body when you yank open the door. you half expect to find someone else there, so you stare openly, disbelief and shock holding you in place.
he peers down at you when you stand there and don’t bother to invite him inside. he knows his presence is probably more than you can handle, but he’s a selfish man and his time is very limited right now. with a subtle nod of his head, almost as if he’s telling — no, commanding — you to let him in; he’s always been like that, wordless commands that he expects to be followed without question.
if you had more sense, you’d slam the door in his face. but sadly, you don’t.
you try not to appear too affected, but as crocodile walks inside, dark eyes taking a sweeping glance around your modest living space, you suddenly remember how to speak.
“h-how did you find me?” your voice is much too soft and timid, something he clicks his tongue at, annoyance slightly bubbling underneath his skin. maybe it���s because he hasn’t seen you in so long, or maybe it’s because he’s much too taken by your beauty — something he tried to forget but was wholly unsuccessful.
he doesn’t spare you another glance as he hangs up his coat, doesn’t bother asking for permission before he rummages through the cabinets in your kitchen to pour himself a drink, and doesn’t think anything of his overly familiar actions in a home that doesn’t belong to him when he makes himself comfortable on one of the plush armchairs in the living room.
you scurry after him, steps soft and hurried, the smoke from his cigar wafting towards you the closer you get. he tilts his head back and exhales deeply, eyes closed as he blows smoke above him — a heady, intoxicating scent that triggers memories of the nights you spent with him before.
not that it matters, but crocodile’s nerves got the best of him before he arrived; he hasn’t seen you in two and a half years, and he always wondered if someone finally snatched you up. he told himself, a long time ago, that he would wreck whatever relationship you found yourself in anyway, but the uncertainty still lingered.
do you still care for him like you claimed you always would?
it’s a question he refuses to ask you because he’s convinced that the answer will ruin his plans no matter what your response is.
when you finally snap out of that momentary stupor, you stand in front of him, eyes glossy, as if you’re holding back years’ worth of tears. but somehow, you both fall back into the same routine you swore you’d never go back to — you straddle his lap, shorts riding up your plush thighs, his golden hook cold as he uses it to lift your chin up.
you remind yourself to keep focused, to not fall for his charm again. you don’t tell him that you’ve stayed single this whole time, mostly because everyone who came into your life after him didn’t compare.
“i hate the smell of smoke,” you declare boldly, voice strained, and maybe a little needy — even though you closely press yourself to him, even though you’re shamelessly rubbing yourself against him with slow, deliberate rolls of your hips. an inescapable, irritating heat passes through him, threatening to burn him alive; already his cock gets stiff when you move on him like that. if he had a bit more sense in him, he’d just leave right now.
but old habits die hard, and for some reason, your presence alone throws him off completely.
in a good way. even though he claims otherwise.
he reminds himself that he’s only here to talk as he runs his large hand along your thigh, admiring the smoothness of your skin — the sensation oddly calming to him. the feel of his rings along the back of your thigh triggers a vivid memory that makes you inhale sharply — you remember that the last time you saw him, you were on your knees and gagging on his cock. that night he fucked you like he knew he’d never see you again; you remember how you felt like melting into him every time he buried his cock deeply in your cunt.
you want to hate him all over and never think about him again.
except you can’t, can you?
there’s a brief pause before he takes another drag from his cigar; and when he lets the silence hang for longer than necessary, you find it hard to breathe.
“and i hate liars,” crocodile says finally, conveniently forgetting that he’s a notorious liar himself. you blush and turn your face at the hidden meaning behind his words — a poor attempt to deny it — but when you look back at him, he blows smoke above your head and fixes you with a pointed look.
an absurd thought occurs, making you curl your fingers as you tug on his shirt and finally question his reappearance. jealousy coils itself tightly around your legs, making your movements sluggish and ineffective. unbecoming, utterly childish, and unavoidable — but you know he won’t listen to that sort of rhetoric. not after being away from you for so long.
you lick your lips and muster enough courage to say, “i wrote to you.” several times, in fact. you figured he was either dead or didn’t want to speak to you. a part of him wants to ask if you’re serious, but from your demure demeanor, he already knows the answer.
crocodile lets out a humorless, pitying laugh.
“it must be nice to live in delusion,” he says bitterly. you look at him, confusion evident in the way you press your lips together as your brows slope down slowly — so he just sighs, defeated by your genuine naivety that he finds terribly charming. when he drags the curve of his golden hook along your jaw, your starts beating faster than necessary, the noise so loud you can barely think straight.
he knows that when he talks to you, he has to… mind how he phrases things, and while it annoys him, he does it anyway. “do you think impel down just allows former warlords the luxury of personal mail?” it’s a rhetorical question, but you shake your head no anyway, teeth sinking into your bottom lip as you grab onto his shirt again.
guilt has a nasty habit of making him more considerate than he’d care to be, especially if that guilt comes from you. it has him putting out his cigar and tossing it onto the floor; he’s not sure who kisses who first, but his lips slant against yours and move with familiarity.
your soft whimpers are a honeyed, melodic experience; they wrap around him possessively, driving him to tear through your clothes with his hook, shredding the fabric into large, unusable pieces that languidly slide off your body. a flush settles on your skin, making you feel lightheaded — each kiss more electrifying than the last as he licks inside of your mouth, tongue stroking against yours hotly.
crocodile pulls away suddenly, already feeling like the control he’s kept is practically nonexistent because your mouth is much sweeter than he remembers. your fingers tremble slightly and a breathy moan tumbles out of you when he slaps your ass hard.
the impact is a surprise — one that has you whine pitifully, arousal dripping from your slit in a way that should be embarrassing, but you’re too far gone to care. a lust-induced haze circles around him, nearly clouding his vision as you unbutton his shirt, fingers roaming against his stomach, exploring the dips and grooves between his abs. your touch is much too gentle for a man like him; he knows you deserve better, but he’s too selfish to tell you that. his cock is stiff and heavy in his pants; you relieve that ache as soon as you tug his zipper down and wrap your soft hands around him.
he watches you, amused at your focus and determination when you stroke him faster; and while he’d like to take his time with you, he doesn’t have that luxury tonight. he grabs onto your wrist, halting your movements quickly before biting your lower lip and kissing you greedily; it’s all-consuming, scalding, and possessive.
you should ask him why he’s kissing you like that when he has no intention of staying, but you know it would be an unfair question given his circumstances.
still, your curiosity eats you alive, although not for long.
he lifts you with ease and you sink down onto his thick cock, pussy tight and warm. part of what kept him sane while he was in prison was thinking of you and how much he missed being with you like this — another truth he refuses to reveal, deciding to suffer through the consequences of another failed confession on his part.
you scratch at the skin on the back of his neck the moment he bucks his hips against yours, burying most of his cock inside of you. his thrusts are quick and brutal; you do your best to match his movements, moaning loudly as he wraps an arm around you. he kisses down the length of your neck, teeth grazing your skin roughly as he bites and sucks on your skin harshly. you know there’ll be bruises and marks in the morning, but you don’t care.
all you care about is enjoying this moment with him, one that you’ll commit to memory forever.
his name comes out of your mouth sweetly, like a rhythmic and lyrical poem you crafted for him specifically. he shouldn’t care about any of that, but he can’t stop himself; and maybe he’s just tired of denying it. he tells himself that when he fucks you harder, breasts bouncing and rubbing against his hard chest; he tells himself that when he angles his hips, thrusts frenzied and powerful.
sweat glides down your skin and the heat threatens to suffocate you, both of you are panting and moaning in between kisses. you doubt your poor little heart can take much more of this, but you power through anyway. and maybe it’s because you’re tugging on his hair roughly, almost impatiently, but he takes that as a challenge, holding you steady as his cock bullies into your wet cunt. between the lewd, squelching sounds coming from your pussy and the way he simply can’t stop kissing you — like there’s a thirst he can’t seem to quench, no matter how many times he fucks you — a warmth spreads through your chest.
unbeknownst to you, though, he’s going through something similar; he realizes, belatedly, that he might not be able to let you go after this. impossible thoughts pummel through his mind, ones that he desperately tries to shove aside. intimacy and vulnerability are deadly, in his opinion, but he decides to make an exception for you — and only you.
you cum unexpectedly, hips bucking against his wildly, pussy clenching around his thick girth without remorse. you actually feel your heart skip a beat, like you’re in some romance novel, when he calls out your name — his own orgasm finding him shortly after, thrusts slowing, his cum thick and hot as it spills inside of you.
your legs turn to jelly, making it impossible to move right away, so you slump against him weakly and take deep breaths to calm yourself. he closes his eyes briefly and runs his hand up and down your back; here’s another opportune moment to say something, to say anything, but he swallows back the words, instead opting to kiss your forehead softly.
“you’re an impossible man,” you say with a sigh, blinking as you look up at him; he raises a brow at that, but doesn’t offer a rebuttal. “don’t break my heart.” you jab a finger at his chest, but your features soften when he chuckles at your demand.
another long silence follows, before crocodile speaks again, voice low, but certain as he says, “alright, i won’t.”

So, we know that Shanks didn't leave East Blue after the Loguetown incident. He heard of Yasopp's fame as a sniper and went to recruit him. Then we skip to Foosha, after he's formed a crew, where he meets Luffy. And we all know how the story goes from there. He stays there for a year, leaves for the Grand Line and is recognised as as a yonko six years later.
Now, here's the problem: That "skip" from Loguetown to Foosha is a whopping 12 years. What the fuck was this man doing all those years??? We have no idea. All we know is that he regularly dueled with Mihawk and had that infamous fight with Blackbeard that left him with his scar (exact time unknown). But other than that? Absolutely nothing.
Here is what we do know though: Benn Beckman is from the North Blue, and Lucky Roux is from the South Blue. So, Shanks was just possibly going around all four blues recruiting people before going into the Grand Line? Makes sense. Except 12 years seems like an awfully long amount of time for that... Especially considering in the main storyline of One Piece, not even a full year has passed, ignoring the timeskip.
Blackbeard was part of Whitebeard's crew back then too, so he must have been in the Grand Line, right? So either;
A) Shanks entered the Grand Line once before, had his fight with Blackbeard there, and came back to the East Blue for an unknown reason. Or,
B) Blackbeard left the Grand Line for whatever reason and they had their fight in one of the four blues.
I think option A is more plausible. But that begs the question, what was Shanks doing in the Grand Line if not building his reputation, and why did he come back to the East Blue? The most accepted theory (I think?) is about what Roger said to him after returning from Laugh Tale. Whatever information was passed between them (which made Shanks cry btw, so maybe he also told him he'd be dying soon?) it must have been somehow related to Joy Boy, even though we can't exactly know what it is. Roger has said that he was sad about missing Joy Boy's time, being a bit early. And he's also said that he wishes his son would be the one to find One Piece even though he didn't have a son back then. So, if Shanks was aware of Joy Boy and the devil fruit, he probably spent his time in the Grand Line looking for it, after forming a reliable crew for which he traveled tne whole world. When he eventually found it, he stole it, and brought it to the East Blue. Why? Who's in the East Blue? It's Ace. It's always been Ace. Shanks wanted to fulfill his captain's dream and pass on the title of new generation's hope onto his son. That's why he told Buggy he wouldn't look for the One Piece, which led to their falling out. Buggy always believed Shanks would become the next Pirate King, but Shanks knew he wasn't meant to be the one, it was Ace. But things didn't go according to plan when Luffy ate the fruit. We have two possibilities once again. Either;
A) Shanks saw Roger in Luffy before the boy ate the fruit, and arranged it so that he would find it and eat it.
Or,
B) Luffy found and ate the fruit before Shanks saw his potential by pure coincidence.
I honestly don't know which one it is, and I don't think it matters much. Either way, Shanks' plan didn't go like what he had in mind but fate made it so that things would work out anyway. Only after making sure the future was in safe hands could he go on to the Grand Line once again to make a name for himself. He did say that he bet his arm on the future after all.
So, what do you think?? I think this theory makes the most sense but I'd be interested in hearing other opinions, or add ons to this one.
Also, six years in the Grand Line before becoming an emperor is quite long too, I think. I wonder how Shanks rose to that status? Who was his predecessor and what happened to them?? Or was there no predecessor and only three emperors??? (I've seen people say Rocks pirates ruled the seas and the emperor system didn't exist yet but let me remind you all, Rocks pirates disbanded at God Valley when Shanks was only one year old. So emperors have existed for more than 30 years probably.) Shanks probably had a plan for his second (technically third) journey on the Grand Line too but what was his goal this time??? So many questions about this man and I didn't even bring up the case of how he was found by the Roger pirates exactly during the God Valley incident, which is a very important event that ties into so many plot points. And inside a treasure chest of all things??? This guy drives me insane STOP BEING MYSTERIOUS STUPID RED HAIRED MAN

Ya know, I never really vibed with the theory that Shanks knew what Luffy's fruit was before anyone else did/ indirectly gave Luffy the fruit on purpose. I have multiple reasons for this, but the two big ones are that I don't think there is enough evidence textually to support it, and that it would undermine a lot of the overarching themes in One Piece if it was true.
To start with the narrative stuff (if I remember correctly) it is never mentioned why Shanks attacks the boat transporting the "gum gum" fruit, other than he knew there was a devil fruit onboard. The World Government had spent the past 800 years making sure that no one found out the true nature of the fruit, so I doubt that Shanks (especially Shanks from roughly 12 years in the past) would have known it's real significance. At best, he would have suspected that it was important somehow, considering how well guarded it was at the time. Hell, its even unclear as to whether Kuma and those who worship Nika are aware of the existence of it (I personally don't think they do, as they view Nika more as an actual deity than a power granted). If the people who have a deep connection with Nika aren't aware if it, then I highly doubt that Shanks, a person who has not shown any interest in Nika so far in canon, would know.
As for thematically, having the reason Luffy gets his fruit be because a person gave it to him (indirectly or not) undermines One Piece's themes of freedom and personal choice. Luffy made the choice to eat a strange looking fruit carelessly left out in the open. If Shanks left it out on purpose for Luffy to find and eat, it removes some of Luffy's agency in that moment, and aspect of One Piece that I think sets it apart from a lot of other Shonen (and just fantasy in general.) That being the fact that Luffy's decisions and creative problem solving are what push the plot forward, both in terms of battle and general story. (It's not uncommon for the plot of similar stories to be driven by a chosen one prophecy or to have story unfold in a way that makes the MC's choices seem pointless.) And while Zoan devil fruits do have a will of their own to some extent, I do not consider that to be agency removing in the same way, as it is not JUST Luffy's fruit that behaves that way, but all Zoans, making it more a piece of worldbuilding than a chosen one plotline. So Choppers fruit "chose" (and I use chose very lightly) him, Lucci's fruit chose him, so did Marco's etc. The fruit did not "choose" Luffy because he was destined to have it, but because their ideals and temperament matched well. And in the end it was Luffy's (however trivial) decision to eat the fruit.
(I personally headcanon the way Zoan wills work is by making their presence more known to potentially compatible people, but it is still ultimately the choice of the the person who found it whether they eat it or not)
As for why Shanks left the box with the fruit in it out, it is implied that Shanks and his crew had grown complicit and careless at this point in time. He probably didn't think anyone (let alone a child) would dare open up a pirate's chest in a tiny East Blue village (he was wrong obviously). This is also why I think he made mistakes that could be considered beneath him (letting Luffy get kidnapped, losing an arm to that sea monster). It was because he wasn't taking the East Blue seriously, and as such let his guard down.
I don't think its the worst theory out there, I just don't think it jives very well with the themes of the story. But that's just my opinion.

Childhood Crush
Chapter 12: Stainless
Killer x gn!reader word count: 3.7k a/n: I'M ALIIIIIIVE. anyway, this is a honker and kind of a catch all bc it's gloss over timeskip stuff. i can't tell you how many times i wrote the last part tho sdlkfj next
Settling in was so much easier than you thought it was going to be. You moved into the spare bedroom at Myra’s, Lily excitedly helping you unpack - and by unpack, she just took your things out and went through your stuff before setting it on the ground to grab the next thing to look at.
You didn’t mind though. Going from a rowdy ship to just a house with two other people was definitely a big change - so you welcomed the noise. You just listened as she idly chatted about nothing as kids typically did. It reminded you of your brother when he was younger. He would constantly talk about nothing for hours on end.
There was one day that he talked about Victoria for about four hours. It was a fond memory you had because of the relentless teasing, but it’s long since turned bittersweet because of her untimely demise. 
You didn’t just listen to your brother’s ramblings - since the boys were always at the house, you heard all of them ramble about something at one point or another. Still to this day, actually. Before everything had went downhill, Heat had come into your lab and started talking about a group of cats he had seen on the island you had all stopped at. He told you about how he had given each of them names and what they looked like. How they all even had their own personalities. 
It was rather adorable, honestly. They all still would come to your lab and drone on about something they had seen or just wanted to share with you. Like an excited child telling their parent. Then, usually, you told Killer when the both of you would be making dinner.
Thinking about those things, you were already missing them. You felt terrible with the way you left things off. You wished you could have gone back and just…not have shut down like you did but…it was too late now. 
Settling into work also went pretty smoothly. Everyone was incredibly nice - which it probably helped that Myra was the one that introduced you to everything. She was the head of the island, after all.
You had your own office space, which somewhat ended up as the Kid Pirates Museum. Your space was filled with different newspaper clippings. It didn’t matter who it was or if it was good or bad, all of it went on the walls. You were so proud of your brother for coming so far and making a name for himself.
However, you were worried about him. He seemed to be growing a bit reckless in his endeavors. He was going to end up biting off more than he could chew and that worried you. They all told you not to die on them, but really they needed to not die on you. You honestly wouldn’t forgive them. You already told yourself that you’d figure out a way to bring them back and then kill them yourself. 
It was only fair.
Eventually, you created something that improved your own life significantly. It seemed like a simple arm band that you had around your bicep. It connected with your nerves and you were able to gain full functionality of your arm again. It was something you had worked on the side for a while and now - it was complete.
With the full movements and feeling in your arm back, you started to train at the facility. You wanted to be able to regain your ability to fight. You wanted to be able to protect those you cared about once more. You wanted to feel useful again. You knew, logically, that there was plenty you could do even with your bum arm. You even proved that yourself time and time again, but it was just something that your head couldn’t wrap around.
If it had happened to anyone else, you would’ve told them what your brother and his friends told you. That it was okay, there was plenty of other things. Hell, you probably could’ve even learned how to fight with one arm. You heard that Shanks only had one arm and he fought just fine.
Though, he was a completely different ballgame than you. He didn’t count.
To test out your newly regained ability, you started to go out on field missions. There was a group of combat trained scientists that would sail out to various islands to gather materials and/or research. Some traveled far, some didn’t. You were with the latter. You stayed close to the island, you didn’t want anything that would take up too much time considering that you eventually wanted to go and find your brother again.
You proved to be able to hold your own once more. Fighting became a breeze to you once more, easily taking out several people in one go. Just as you used to be able to. 
When you returned from your most recent voyage, Lily and Myra greeted you at the dock. Lily ran up to you, immediately jumping in your arms. You laughed, holding her. “I missed you!” You grinned. “Missed you too, kiddo.” Fuck, it was going to suck when you had to leave for good.
Myra seemed to be pensive. There was a look of worry in her face. “What’s wrong, My?” you asked, setting Lily down as you walked over to her. She smiled, shaking her head. “We’ll talk later.” You narrowed your eyes at her. Something was wrong and you knew it. You left it for now, assuming that she didn’t want to talk about whatever it was in front of her daughter.
You decided not to pry, instead engaging in whatever Lily was prattling on about as you walked towards your temporary home with the two. You caught them up on your most recent mission and they caught you up on what you missed on the island - which wasn’t exactly much.
The entire day, Myra seemed on edge. Sure, she laughed and joked like normal, but you had a knack for reading people. You knew something was up, but you never said anything. At least not while Lily was awake.
Currently, it was after dinner and you were sitting on the couch, Lily fast asleep in your lap. Myra was sitting in an armchair adjacent to the couch. “So, you going to tell me what’s going on, My?” You looked at her and she seemed to stiffen. She looked at you for a moment before glancing down at Lily. She sighed softly, pulling a newspaper from the inside of her coat.
“Read this.” 
With a scrunch of your eyebrows, you took the paper, careful not to wake the little one. You read the headline and your heart immediately sank. You felt your blood run cold. Your brother had lost to Shanks and seemed to sustain grave, life threatening injuries. Panic began to rise in your chest as your grip on the paper tightened.
You felt yourself relax once you reached the end of the article. Eustass was in stable condition, going back to his usual antics. However, you did notice something. “He fucking lost his arm?” You stared at the paper before you started falling into silent laughter - mostly so you didn’t wake up Lily.
Myra looked at you - completely startled by your reaction. “I- Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. That’s just funny.” She looked at you like you had grown an extra head.
You set the paper down, looking at Myra. “I mean, he lost his arm and temporarily, so did I. Technically, without the bracelet, I still don’t have a fully functioning arm.” You chuckled. “Guess having two arms doesn’t run in the family. But at least between the two of us we have one good pair of arms.” Honestly, it was hysterical. 
“Oh man, I wonder which one it is. Because it would be so funny if it was the opposite of mine. Then we really do only have one good pair of arms.” You slowly calmed down, your laughter dying down as well. You took a deep breath. 
“I thought you’d be more upset,” Myra said slowly, still unsure how to gauge your reaction. You looked at her with a small smile. “Well, my brother is strong and can hold his own. Especially if his crew is with him. He’s going to be just fine. The article said he was stable and sailing again, so I’m sure he’s going to heal up just fine.” Sure, you were still worried about him.
“However.” Your face soured. “I am absolutely going to tear him a new one for fighting Shanks. I love my brother, yes, but that was the dumbest fucking move he could’ve made. He’s nowhere near ready to fight him.” What you wanted to know was why he tried to fight him. Did it just end up happening? Or did he seek him out? You had so many questions swimming through your head.
Myra let out a small laugh and you looked over at her. “Guess I was stressed about nothing. I was worried that the news would upset you.”
“Eh. My brother and I have been through our fair share of shit - I know him well enough to know he’ll be just fine.” Your expression changed to a deadpan one. “Until I get to him, I tell ya. I’m going to kick his ass.”
After that, you two fell back into normal conversation, eventually turning in for the night.
--
“You’re telling me I have to do fucking what?” 
Myra winced at your word choice. She still wasn’t accustomed to you cursing despite having lived with her the last year or so. You did well to not swear in front of Lily and other children, but adults were free game. You were a pirate, after all. Those words didn’t really hold meaning to you.
“You’re the only one fit for the job, y/n.”
You just stare at her from the chair you’re in. You’re currently in her office, her having called you in. There was apparently some really important plant they needed for some breakthrough but getting it was next to impossible. 
“You’re asking me to go on a suicide mission, Myra.” 
She sighed, shaking her head. “I think you’re more than capable. Besides, if you decide it’s too much, you can come back.”
“Can’t come back if I’m head.”
“Oh, come on.”
“No, you come on.” You groaned, putting your face in your hands. Were you ready for a mission like this? It was risky, but deep down, you knew you could do it.
“Besides, I heard your brother was last seen somewhere over there, so you can just send the flower back to us and go with your brother.” You looked at her, blinking. Eustass? 
“Eustass is around there?”
Myra nodded. “We all know that this place is not your home, y/n. You were going to go back eventually. It’s probably time.”
“Kicking me out?” You smirked and she rolled her eyes. “Oh shut it. You know what I mean.”
You laugh, sighing after a bit. “Fine. I’ll do it.” She grinned, nodding. “Good.”
Hoo boy, nothing could’ve prepared you for what you’d end up discovering, however.
--
“I got you something, y/n.” You looked up from checking your inventory. You were currently on the dock, getting things ready for departure. “It’s from me, too!” Lily chimed from beside her, holding up a box. You blinked, tucking your clipboard under your arm and taking the box.
“You didn’t have to get me anything,” you said with a small laugh.
“We know, but we wanted you to have something to remember us by,” Myra said with a small smile. She was never one to express large emotions. Quite the opposite of her own child who was currently beaming ear to ear. 
“You act like I’m never going to come back.” You shake your head as you open the box, missing the sad look on Myra’s face. 
When you open the box, you’re taken aback. You figured it would be some kind of book or something for taking notes, but it wasn’t anything studious at all. It was a large knife, like the one your crew had gifted to you. You carefully took it out of the box, admiring it. “Oh wow…”
It was a lot like the one you had already, only instead of the Kid Pirates’ jolly roger on it, it had the lab’s emblem on it. A soft, fond smile spread across your face and you felt tears welling up in your eyes.
“Y/n! Do you not like it?” Lily frowned, looking up at you. “We didn’t mean to make you cry!” You looked at Lily and laughed softly, shaking your head, ruffling her hair. “No, no. I love it. I’m just happy.” You attached it to your belt on the opposite side before picking up Lily and hugging her tightly. “Thanks, kiddo.”
Lily laughed and hugged you tightly. You looked at Myra over her shoulder and smiled. “Thank you, too, Myra.” The scientist just nodded, her own sad smile on her face. There was something she seemed to know that she wasn’t telling you, but you were going to leave it be for now.
--
Nothing about this mission was going to be easy. Get in Wano - already hard enough. Blend in - could be easy, could be hard. Somehow sneak into fucking Kaido’s castle - practically impossible. Get the flower - depending on where it is, could be impossible. Send it back or come back - that part could be easy.
You have no idea why you let Myra talk you into this, but you ended up agreeing to it. Saying goodbye fucking sucked. Since this was possibly the last time you would see anyone for a long time, it was a hard goodbye. Lily almost broke your heart in two when you said goodbye. She didn’t want you to leave in the slightest. You were like another parent to her now. You told her that you’d come see her again - that you’d write and call when you could.
This whole island was like your second family, but Myra was right. It was home to go home. You missed everyone. Not a day went by that you didn’t think about them.
You also had some unfinished business with a certain someone. You had some hands to throw.
Getting into Wano was pretty difficult, but you persisted. Going upstream was absolutely insane. Everything settled down after that. It completely wiped you out, trying to navigate all that. You narrowly avoided a whirlpool. Next thing you knew, you were on a beach.
You hid your boat, knowing that the people of Wano didn’t really take visitors. Which brought you to your next issue. Blending in. You made sure to keep hidden for the most part. After all, you stuck out like a sore thumb. You did at the lab too, but they didn’t care as much. It’s not like you were trying to blend in there.
You reached a small village, quickly spotting some clothes on a clothesline. Wasting no time, you snagged them off the line and changed. After, you continued forward, eventually ending up somewhere full of snow. Great. You were just glad that the clothes you had come across had a cloak that came with a hood and a mask you would wrap around the lower half of your face. 
How much more lost could you get? Why did you agree to this again? All for a flower? 
Ugh. Fuck.
It was cold - too cold. Snow began to fall and, soon enough, visibility was also shit. It was just warm not too long ago; what the hell was going on? And now you’re all turned around because everything looks the same due to the snow. You needed to find shelter - and soon. You didn’t realize you’d end up this lost in a winter hellscape or you would have prepared a bit better.
A sound suddenly tore through the air. It was enough to make you jump a bit. It sounded like some maniacal laugh from a bad guy - though a bit more haunting. It sent a shiver down your spine. Whatever the fuck that was - you wanted nothing to do with it. You were here for one thing and one thing only: that stupid fucking flower that you were really debating on whether or not it was worth it at this point.
As you were walking, you lost your footing, immediately taking a tumble and falling down some hillside. When your body decided to stop moving finally, after what was way too long and now you were way too cold, you found yourself in front of some woman and a child. They looked at you with fear in their eyes, both of them also sitting in the snow.
“Wh-” Before you could ask what was wrong, you felt someone behind you. You turned just in time to block the on coming attack with your own daggers. One from your brother and friends, the other from Myra. 
The assailant was a very large man with two very large scythes. Though, that’s not what startled you in the least. It was the cackle that erupted from him paired with the unnatural stretch of a hollow smile across his face. It sent a shiver down your spine.  That was definitely the laugh you heard - the one you wanted nothing to do with.
How the hell did you get into this situation again?
You pushed the swordsman off of you, sending him back a bit. “I’d get out of my way if I were you,” he warned. There was a familiar ring to his voice, but it was too distorted for you to place it. Besides, the damn guy wouldn’t really stop laughing either. That was also getting on your nerves. You already didn’t like the haunting sound of it.
You said nothing, only solidifying your stance to protect the woman and small child. You couldn’t help but be reminded of Myra and Lily when you saw them. “You guys get out of here,” you told them, glancing at them for a moment.
A moment too long because he used that to attack you. Your movements were delayed as you tried to block him again, only to fumble and he gave you quite the cut on your arm. If you lost another arm, you were going to lose it. Though, after pushing him back, you realized it just looked worse than it was. Nothing some clean up and stitches couldn’t help.
He seemed surprised that, even with your distraction, you were able to recover quite quickly. You ran at him this time, initiating an attack, surprising him further. You were able to knick him in the side and knock him backwards - you were on top of him, basically competing for strength at this point as you pressed your blades against his, trying to break his defense.
From this angle, you had a better look at his face. Or you would have had there not been bandages covering his features. His eyes though, they pierced right through your soul despite themselves looking soulless. They were a shade of blue that made them familiar, but the lack of life made it hard to pinpoint who it reminded you of. 
They did tell you everything you needed to know. This guy wasn’t in his right mind at all. Clearly some kind of brainwash of some kind. That didn’t explain the unnatural smile that didn’t reach the rest of his features, like his eyes, or the haunting and hollow cackle that erupted from him every once and a while.
Everything about this was weird.
Your thoughts were interrupted as he suddenly gained the upper hand. He had you pinned to the ground this time, his blade dangerously close to your neck. Fuck, you needed to out of this. You didn’t even want anything to do with this guy to begin with. He was clearly a level of unhinged that you didn’t want to mess with. With a quick glance around, you noticed the other two were gone. That was one less thing to worry about. It also didn’t help that your arm was currently throbbing from the laceration. Ugh.
You look back up at your assailant, noticing the look on his face seemed to change. Well, the look in his eyes. They faltered for a moment as they fell on your blade. The one your brother had gifted you. You used this moment to push him back, sending him off of you at least. It was, unfortunately, enough to knock him out of the trance it was in and he ran at you again.
What was that about? Why would your own knife make him falter like that? Though, his eyes lost that hollow look and…hold on. No fucking shot. There was no fucking shot that this was Killer. Contrary to his name, he wasn’t a complete mindless killing machine. He had least held some kind of emotion in his eyes, but…he also wasn’t really one to smile and laugh. Especially not like this.
Besides, your brother was nowhere to be found. This was just an uncanny valley and this was nothing more than a ghost - a glint of someone you missed. Nothing more.
But what if?
Fuck, now you wouldn’t be able to kill him even if you wanted to. Not with the possibility in your mind. After all, Myra did say your brother was reportedly in the area. But…what would Killer be doing here? Like that? Without Eustass? Ugh, your head was hurting from thinking about it.
The man in question was advancing on you once more and you solidified your stance - only to lose your footing and fall down yet another large hill. You descended rapidly, trying to stop yourself. You grabbed on to anything and everything, but nothing was strong enough to hold you or slow you down. 
When you reached the bottom, you groaned, slowly rolling over. You heard that laugh in the distance, echoing through the snow. Visibility was impossible at this point, so you had to make your escape now. You didn’t want to deal with the situation anymore. 
You stood up, heading off, finding a large log and crawling inside. You collapsed, completely winded. Your head was spinning and you felt yourself slowly losing consciousness.

as somebody who is really interested in tarot but is SO BAD at memorizing the card meanings (i've decided to just make my own custom oracle deck at this point), i'm curious if you had any headcanons/thematic ties between the major arcana and one piece characters??
hope this isn't too far out of left field! <3
Tumblr media
IT IS NOT - THIS IS FANTASTIC
Two of my favorite things - MY TWO FAVORITEST THINGS IF I HAD TO PICK \o/ THIS IS LIKE A FREE CHRISTMAS
Forgive me, this'll be a bit off the top of my head, so I may make adjustments at some later date, but I absolutely MUST do my best to answer this RIGHT NOW. (I'm vibrating I'm so delighted by this \lol/)
0 The Fool/Luffy - The Fool isn't an idiot, as some people assume based on the name of the card, he's on a journey - as a matter of fact, it's a journey he takes *through* the major arcana. He learns about the world, and himself - about injustices and his own morals and limits. The Fool is about the journey.
1 The Magician/Shanks - The Magician is effectively the Fool's first teacher. The Magician card is as above, so below. He's all the major suits, he's magic and power. Good or Evil isn't relevant (though generally it's always positive to see this card).
2 The High Priestess/Nami - The Priestess is strong girl power - well, strong "things we often associate with feminine energy". She doesn't back down, she knows her strengths, and her weaknesses. There's a bluntness here too, and a fierceness. It's very "That look Nami gave Sanji on Whole Cake Island."
3 The Empress/Nico Robin - The Empress is more a motherly vibe and less a Strong Boss Lady vibes. She's caring, nurturing, protective, but not restrictive. There's a caring vibe that resonates with this that isn't really found in the Priestess.
4 The Emperor/Jinbei - I'm just name some moments - Making Luffy remember his nakama, giving him his blood, not joining when he wanted too - joining when he could do it right. Supporting Luffy even from a distance. Stern, strong, wise, educated, Supportive. Big Good Masculine Vibes.
5 The Hierophant/Monkey D. Garp - The hierophant is a teacher of sorts, kind of a societal vibe vs what The Magician teaches. Here to show you the path you "should" travel. Not necessarily the path you're going to want to travel - just know the road's probably going to be bumpier if you don't listen to him, but contextually, it could be more rewarding.
6 The Lovers/Roronoa Zoro - The Lovers Does NOT MEAN JUST ROMANTIC LOVE or sexy love or whatever. The Lovers is a card about dedication, devotion - being there for someone completely, and that person being there for you completely. Partners. This is a good Kid x Killer vibe card too.
7 The Chariot/Thousand Sunny - The Chariot is about motion, but controlled motion. There's generally no reins being depicted for this card (sometimes there is), but the person is still in control. The crew didn't have much direction when the Merry Go was their ship, but comparatively, they did with Sunny.
8 Strength/Usopp - Strength isn't usually talking about physical strength. It's strength of will. Why Usopp? Facing off against Luffy was an immense show of strength, and his growth after that was even more so. It's very much inline with the card.
9 The Hermit/Sanji - The Hermit doesn't *want* to be alone, but the Hermit often needs it. Not the kind of alone that means shoving everyone away, the kind of alone that sits on the bow of the ship and contemplates their sense of self. Sanji has a lot of work to do in this, but I also think he's a character who has done a LOT of it long before he met Zeff.
10 Wheel of Fortune/The whole bloody series honestly - The Wheel Turns, and things change. This card means whatever is going on now, isn't going to be going on tomorrow. The good times will end, the bad times won't last forever. Everything changes. Appreciate the good while you can, and weather the hard times knowing they won't last.
11 Justice/ - Hrm.
12 The Hanged Man/Trafalgar Law - Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing at all. Sometimes you need to just Stop and Think about things. Maybe Law over thinks sometimes (he certainly has the whole "sacrifice oneself for the greater good" vibe going one, which can also be a thing for this card.)
13 Death/The Going Merry - Change is inevitable, and while the Wheel is about day to day changes, Death is about BIG changes. Changes that don't leave you the same as they found you. Changes that can break you if you don't roll with them - Changes you CANNOT outrun.
14 Temperance/Several Characters- Temperance is about balance, a lot like Justice, but with Temperance there is emotion that you don't find in Justice. My knee jerky reaction places several characters here - Robin's mom, Nami's mom, and Rosinante (my apologies for being bad with names and not wanting to break from this to look them up.) These people all had a strong connection to temperance - doing what needed done, not because of logic or justice, but because of love.
15 The Devil/Doflamingo - The Devil is about choice. Generally it's about negative choices and not positive ones, because it's about the chains that bind us to the things that pull us down. It's about crumbling and failing because we chose to do things the way we did. I liken Doffy to this, since we often don't see what it is we're doing wrong, and with the wrong people around us, well, we just keep going headlong into the wrong path. (Doffy isn't the devil in this card, Trebol could be, but Doffy is definitely the one in chains).
16 The Tower/Marine ford - I don't know that I really need to say anything else ^^;
17 The Star/Silvers Rayleigh - Thinking back to how this is story of journey for the Fool, Rayleigh is the perfect character to follow Marine Ford. He didn't heal Luffy like Law did, he didn't heal him like how Jinbei did. He just offered hope - a chance to recover from the rough and harsh lessons that came before him, and make sure Luffy could continue forward on his own.
18 The Moon/Momonosuke - Wary, anxious - the moon is about intuition, but not "oh I knew they were gonna kiss" kinds of intuition. It's about knowing something is wrong, something is looming, something is unavoidable and you don't know WHY you're nervous and afraid (or maybe you have an inkling) you just are. The moon is fear of the unknown, and it's not a card that has any answers most of the time - you just have to get through it.
19 The Sun/Sabo - It's his memories coming back, him meeting Luffy in the Coliseum, eating the fruit, holding that newspaper to his chest and smiling like a DOOF when he sees his little brother is doing well. It wasn't necessarily all rainbows, but there's clarity there - everything is illuminated, no shadows. Shit hurt for a while, but he can see the good in it all.
20 Judgement/Portgas D. Ace - This card isn't so much about wiping the slate clean, as it is realizing that all your flaws, scars, mistakes, etc. have helped make you who you are. It's about accepting your flaws and either incorporating them, or improving yourself to lessen them. Honestly the most heart breaking thing about Ace is how he was doing this, he just never got the chance to see it through.
21 The World/Joy Boy - I'll just leave this as this for now. ^_^

One Piece (Live Action)
No spoilers
Listen, I didn't have high hopes for this, but to sum up all 8 episodes in an easy little sentence; it was pretty damn good.
Granted there were a number of creative liberties taken to make the Romance Dawn arc fit and flow more fluidly into these 1hr long 8 episodes, but I feel like they didn't take away from it at all.
But I really want to talk about the casting. Cause they did fucking fabulous! Because never would I think I'd say that my favourite casting would be for Buggy the Clown. The man is probably the best actor in the whole show. A close second imo would be Shanks, and it's not just because these actors are spitting images of their characters, but they captured and carried their characters so well, that during their scenes I almost forgot they were based off anime characters.
As for character resemblances; I'm limiting the list to characters that are relevant to the series as a whole.
Shanks looks exactly like I always imagined IRL Shanks would look like. As a huge fan of Shank's character, I'm really glad they found someone who pulled it off.
I'm convinced they just pulled Mihawk right out of the manga/anime. I don't think they could have found someone who looks more like him AND play his character as well as he did. He didn't have many scenes, but it was enough to leave an impression.
Koby. I bet you didn't expect him to make the list. But when he's first shown on screen, he is so unmistakably Koby. The timid, uncertain kid who wants to be a Marine was castled perfectly imo.
Alvida! Another one I bet you think wouldn't have been mentioned. But here she is. But not because she's an accurate representation, but because I think they made the correct choice of casting. In the anime/manga, Alvida is known as the most beautiful in the East Blue but is actually drawn quite ugly. We are supposed to assume that her reputation comes from her brutally forcing people to spread the rumour, but this Live Adaptation allows the reputation to spread from something concrete, hiding her secret brutality. Because omg that woman is gorgeous! <3
Zoro: I think he was going to be difficult to cast, but the actor they chose makes for a fantastic Zoro. I think my only real grief about his casting is that the actor just doesn't have that gruff tone of voice that Zoro's voice actor has for the anime. His combat choreography more than makes up for it though. I'd have to say, he has the best choreography out of everyone. (I don't know if this was because of the directing, or the actor himself, but I loved it.)
Continuing with the fight scenes choreography...
First of all, most of it is (predictably) cheesy. Anime fight scenes are notoriously difficult to adapt to live action. THAT BEING SAID, I think they did really well. There are moments where movements are really strange, but they're actually far and few between, and typically only show up where someone does one of those in-human jumps or really long leaps from across a room. And Luffy's stretchiness. Granted I'm sure they did what they could, but I still feel like they did better in the Fantastic Four movies from the early 2000s.
The Snails
Sweet Baby Jesus, those things are going to be in my nightmares. That is all.
All in all, even if it's not a perfect adaptation of the Romance Dawn arc, I still think over all it was done splendidly. As I said before, I didn't have high hopes for an anime to live action show, but I finished off the episodes overwhelmingly positive. (Bonus point for someone finally deciding on a TV show instead of a movie.) I do feel like they could have planned for a 12 episode season (much like anime), if they paced a bit differently by incorporating some minor interactions that ultimately didn't make it in, but I'm still definitely looking forward to the possibility of a season 2... and 3, and 4, and so on. Especially if they get the funding to improve of the fighting choreography and CGI. There's so many characters that I want to see make it into the live action universe, that I'm genuinely hoping for this show's success. Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but did I see Cavendish on the wanted poster wall? I though he didn't start pirating until after Loguetown...?

I'd never go, I just want to be invited, oh
Buggy isn't thrilled by his big sister having a date with a rival crewmember. He's convinced she'll fall in love and leave him behind for good.
Rating: PG. No warnings. Just young and upset Buggy who has fear of abandonment. Shanks and Buggy are 12, Sis is 17, and Marco is 18. I got inspired after watching Whitebeard's interaction with Buggy at Marineford and just, I love Buggy. Would this happen? IDK it's a fanfic.
Title comes from "Love From The Other Side" by Fall Out Boy.
~
An actual date, free of little brothers, was the plan. Buggy couldn't wrap his head around why his sister would go on a date with a pirate from a rival crew. And it was happening off the ship, on that island they all met up at. Rayleigh forbade the boys from tagging along, especially Buggy, saying Sis was allowed an evening free of the boys.
Buggy did not agree in the slightest.
What if she did fall in love with that guy and she decided to join Whitebeard's crew instead? Maybe she would think Marco was cooler to be around and that maybe Buggy didn't need her anymore? That was a lie. He did need her. He needed his sister for a lot of things even if he never openly admitted it.
"You think they're probably kissing or something?" Shanks asked as they tried to see where the two were. Rayleigh had told Sis she had to be back by a certain time and that if she wasn't then the crew would go looking for her. Buggy was counting down the time until his sister came back. She had an hour left until she was due back at the ship.
"That's gross! Why would she do that?" Buggy made a disgusted face at the question. His sister would probably punch Marco before letting him kiss her. "Yuck, Shanks."
"It's what people do when they're in love, idiot!" Shanks told him as Buggy turned to glare at him.
"She's not in love with him, she's just.. she's just having a night out." Buggy insisted as he looked back out at the land. No, no, his sister couldn't fall in love, right? She wouldn't fall in love and leave Buggy and join another crew, right? She told Buggy she would never leave him. "She's not in love with that loser."
"I dunno, she was smiling when she asked Rayleigh about it." Shanks shrugged. "I think she likes him."
"No, she doesn't!" Buggy insisted. "She doesn't like stupid boys like Marco."
"Have you asked her?" Shanks asked. Buggy frowned and shook his head. He shouldn't have to. His sister would have told him, right? Weren't they close? Would she tell him if she was falling in love with some boy? Or was she never going to come back to the ship? Maybe she'd run off with him and leave Buggy behind for good.
He hated just the thought of it.
"Oh, hey, she's coming back early!" Shanks pointed behind Buggy and he spun around. Sure enough, there was his sister making her way back to the ship with Marco beside her. Buggy's jaw dropped when he saw they were holding hands. No, no, no. That didn't mean anything, right? But they stopped, exchanged words, and Buggy watched in utter horror his sister gave Marco a kiss.
Some of the crew were watching because they started whistling and cheering; Sis ignored them and pulled back from Marco, waving at him as she headed back to the ship. Shanks went to greet her but Buggy stormed off. He didn't want to hear about all the stupid details of the date because if she kissed that guy then that meant she was in love, right, and she was probably going to go tell Captain Roger and Rayleigh that she was leaving to go be with that stupid boy and finally get away from Buggy.
Sis gave him about fifteen minutes before she went after Buggy. She found him on his cot, head under the covers as she heard him mumbling to himself in between sniffles. She said nothing at first as she sat on the bed, but he tried to wriggle away from her. Shaking her head, she reached into her pocket and pulled something out.
"He brought me a bag of this sugar candy. Not really my thing but I knew you'd like it." She said as she set it down on his pillow. His hand darted out and grabbed the treats, bringing it back under the covers. "He's nice, but I dunno about the crew. I don't know how I feel about the crew. There are more open shirts on that crew than on ours and I don't need to see that much skin on a daily basis."
Buggy pulled the covers back just enough to frown at her. "Aren't you in love with him? I saw you kiss him."
"That doesn't mean shit." She chuckled. "He's very nice and we may try seeing each other later, but I'm not looking to run after him. I like it here."
"You aren't leaving?" Buggy asked hopefully. "You'll stay?"
"Uh, yea. Someone has to keep an eye on you and Shanks." Sis grinned. "You two are too much trouble for these guys to handle. I have to be the one to do it."
Buggy sat up, looking at the bag of candy. The packaging showed little sugar clusters in different colors, looking almost like stars. He tried to open it before Sis took it from him, tearing a corner off the package before handing it back. Buggy glanced at her before looking back at the package.
"You'd leave if he asked, right?"
"Probably not." She shrugged. "I'm going to take care of of you until you don't need me anymore."
Buggy poured some of the candy onto his hand, popping it into his mouth. The sugar started to dissolve quite quickly. "What if I need you forever?"
"Then I'd take care of you forever, Buggy." Sis told him, cocking her head to the side as she frowned at her little brother. "Did you really think I was going to run off with that guy?"
"You've been on two dates with him." Buggy mumbled, mouth full of sugar. "And... and you kissed him."
She snorted at how scandalized he sounded right then. "Yea, that doesn't really mean anything. He's nice and... I like him but I'm not leaving the crew or you to be with him." She reached over and took the bag from him. "Also, I gave this to you but doesn't mean you can eat the entire bag tonight. Save some for later, Buggy."
He grumbled and let her take it for now. He'd find it later. With a sigh, he crossed his arms and looked at her. "You promise you won't leave me for him?"
"I promise." Sis assured him. "Cross my heart, Buggy."
Buggy nodded. He believed her. She wasn't going to ever leave him, she didn't like that Marco guy that much it seemed. She would stay with him on the ship forever, which he was okay with.
"Okay." Buggy said before she wrapped her arms around him for a hug. He let her, resting his head against her shoulder. Yea, she wasn't going to leave him and he appreciated that.

Call The Warlords!!
so this takes place in the Wing!au that me @blackcat2907 and @blackholesun321 have been doing, so some prior reading may be required.
(also if this looks poorly written thats because it started as a ramble and i tried to edit it but got tired like, 2/3rds of the way through and said F it we ball.)
((also also i know the seraphim are supposed to be like,,,6-12 ft tall or something but ive known and thought about these babies for far longer than i knew their actual heights so for any thing going forward from me, S-Hawk/Peregrine/Pippin is 4'3 and Sebastian is 4'4 because i think its funny that he's so small))
so in wing!au, and pretty much any iteration, Mihawk is pretty in control of any sort of instincts he has right?
all that gets thrown out the window when he gets an invitation from a mysterious ‘Shaka’ to come and collect something of his on the equally mysterious Egghead Island shortly after his grown chicks fly the coop once more
He gets hit over the head big time with the nesting stick once he lays eyes on ‘S-Hawk 049’ and ‘S-Lion 001’ though.
Mihawk's first thought is that those are terrible names, which is quickly overtaken by ‘i need to get them into the nest as soon as possible’ which is hard because he doesn’t really nest and the only place he would really think of nesting is either home on kurigana, or home on the red force.
the red force is closer, so after some thorough cuddling and introductions/more cuddles, he bundles them both up in a blanket, together of course, and then either picks them up in his arms (given that you can also pick stuff up in your wings to keep your hands free, this is a really touching gesture) and sets off to both avoid interacting with any of the other warlords (because he is a reclusive bastard on a good day and he really does not want to explain anything to anyone right now.) and also to get to the red force as quick as possible.
so, shaka didn’t know that Mihawk and shanks were together, so they each got sent an invitation, but let's say that the news coos have a really hard time getting to Elbaf, or the giants have a really strict screening process, either way the letter was late, so late in fact that shanks didn’t even get the letter until 30 minutes before Mihawk got to the red force ( we’ll expand on that more later)
now shaka was worried because he was banking on all the seraphim being gone by a certain time so when he received no word from the red emperor he began to enact some back up plans, all of them fell through, but he figured he could just kinda dump s-lion on buggy the clown but he hadn’t been able to bring that part of the plan up to the seraphim yet, so they all thought that s-lion was being left behind.
So Mihawk and the other Warlords, both new and old (excluding Blackbeard because he wasn’t relevant and Doflamingo because he was both in prison and Shaka did not trust this man with a child) arrive on Egghead where they meet Doctor Vegapunk-01 ‘Shaka’.
After initial introductions are finished, and an explanation and reassurances are given, Shaka starts guiding them towards a meeting area to meet the seraphim. Mihawk however, notices a large amount of nervous energy, separate from the waiting figures ahead of them. This, along with how familiar the presence seems, intrigues Hawkeyes so he decides to split off and investigate. 
When Mihawk walks into the training dojo, he sees S-Hawk training his swordsmanship. He spoke up once the boy had finished his katas and noted to him that while his ability to mimic his technique was admirable, it clearly lacked the foundation the basics provided. 
He showed the seraphim the basics, they practiced a bit, S-Hawk became emotional and blew up a bit out of frustration and lack of understanding on why he was being so nice to him then proceeded to break down crying. Mihawk sat patiently during the outburst, then wrapped his wings around them as he hugged the child comfortingly during the crying jag, and stood up with S-Hawk in his arms and picked up the younger's sword (which he attached to his belt because mediocre imitation or not it is still his first sword!) and then began walking through the halls to the exit.
At one of the intersections, S-Hawk meekly asked if He could take his brother too. Mihawk questioned if he was another clone of him , to which S-Hawk says he's a clone of an Emperor. Mihawk agrees and during the walk to the mysterious brothers room, the raven haired man goes over in his head who it could be.
‘Can't be Linlin because he said brother, so that leaves Kaido, Edward Newgate and-’
Conqueror Class Seraphim: S-Lion 001
‘Shanks’
so on the trip to the red force is filled with lots more cuddles and some explaining: 
where they were going,
(Elbaf)
Why, 
(that is one of the safest places Mihawk can think of to nest) 
Who is there, 
(his mate) 
How will they react to the newly named Sebastian considering he doesn’t share any dna with Mihawk and instincts will not like that,
(he will probably react quite well, considering that while you don't share dna with me, you do share dna with him) 
How will he react to the newly named Peregrine seeing as it can be easily taken as infidelity on Mihawks' part,
(he's not one to judge based on that because he knows that I love him)
Will he like us? 
(he will love you)
SO arriving at the red force, somehow Mihawk is completely unnoticed. strange but whatever, (this is because most of the senior officers and shanks are in a war meeting rn trying to decide who goes to go get whatever it is that THE Dr Vegapunk want to give them) so Mihawk just makes his way to Shanks’ room (very grateful to the lack of presence because his instincts are screaming at him to get the chicks to the nest NOW and being seen will not help with that) so he gets to Shanks’ room to find that it is laundry day so he sets the Eyas down on the bed, tells them he will be right back and books it to the laundry room where he is finally seen, he gathers a bunch of bedding and soft blankets and at least one of shanks’ throw blankets that isn’t really dirty but hasn’t been washed yet and just leaves without acknowledging anybody, someone tells a cabin boy to tell Shanks that ‘Hey, Mihawk is here and he's nesting. jsyk’
So Shanks gets the call that Mihawk is here and nesting which is slightly concerning because Mihawk doesn’t really nest, and he can't ask Ben for advice because Ben left half an hour ago to check out Vegapunk’s thing. So he goes to his room to investigate, to which he finds Mihawk, in the middle of a nest of pillows and blankets and nestled right there next to him, are two tiny chicks, both with white hair and tan skin, one looks like Mihawk, and the other…. looks like him!
he gently shakes Mihawk out of his baby-bliss-napping and asks “as wonderful and as overjoyed I am,,,,, where’d you find these adorable babies?” Mihawk explains and Shanks says that he’ll be right back to join in the cuddles, he’s just gotta get Ben on the den den and tell them that they can come back because Mihawk already beat them to it.
@manofbeskar enjoy some baby acquisition.

Stuck Chapter 12
Tumblr media
WARNING: Smut; MDNI
Himiko shivered as the cover shifted down her shoulder. She sleepily rolled over and snuggled closer to Shanks’s chest. She could hear Mihawk shift behind her as he moved to spoon her. She could feel the tickle of his facial hair against her neck as he tucked his head into the hollow of her throat. She let out a content sigh after Shanks wrapped a warm arm around her waist. They lay in silence for a moment before Himiko’s stomach let out a growl. She let out a whine at the loss of heat as Mihawk pulled back and shifted to a sitting position.
“Are you hungry?” he asked as he held her shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.
“No?” She responded, seconds before her stomach let out another growl. She could feel the vibrations of Shank’s chest as he let out a snicker.
“Are you sure?” Mihawk asked in an amused voice. Himiko cracked open her eyes and caught a glance of him smirking down at her. She let out another whine as she felt Shanks also retract his arm and sit up on the other side of her. She flopped onto her back in defeat playfully glaring up at them.
“Okay, I may be a bit hungry.” she conceded, pushing herself up on her elbows. The only thing hiding her modesty was a blanket that was draped dangerously low on her chest.
“Do you still want breakfast, or would you like something for lunch?" Mihawk asked her as he got up and walked over to their closet. Himiko bit her lip as she admired his backside.
“He asked you a question sweetheart,” Shanks whispered in her ear; she could feel the warmth of his breath against her neck as she snapped out of her daze.
“What time is it?” she asked, squinting at the clock. She could just make out the numbers without her glasses, but it was in military time, and she didn’t feel like doing math right now.
“Quarter after two,” Mihawk answered, approaching the bed, now clad in a pair of boxers.  Himiko hummed in thought while taking a t-shirt and pair of boxers from Mihawk’s grasp.
“I wouldn’t mind a second breakfast,” Shanks said nipping at Himiko’s neck. She could hear the smirk in his voice as he rubbed up and down her side, getting closer and closer to her core. Mihawk threw a pair of boxers at his face before Himiko could respond. Shanks grunted and glared at Mihawk after pulling the boxers off his face. Himiko laughed, pulling away from Shank’s embrace as she shifted to sitting on the edge of the bed.
“She needs real breakfast,” Mihawk said with a warning glance. Himiko tugged on the t-shirt before standing up to pull up the boxers. She immediately fell back onto the bed as her muscles screamed in protest.
“Um, I’m not sure if I can walk…” Himiko said looking up at a concerned Mihawk.
“So much for going easy on her the first time,” Shanks laughed as he shifted off the other side of the bed and pulled on his boxers.
“I did go easy on her,” Mihawk said glaring at Shanks.
“Really, ‘cuz I recall you snapping after she called you ‘Sir’,” Shanks said with a smirk as he rounded the corner to their side of the bed.
“Like you wouldn’t have had the same response if she called you ‘Daddy’” Mihawk said. Himiko took a mental note before Shanks responded.
“That’s irrelevant; I’m not the one who fucked her through the mattress.”
“Yeah, but you would have given the chance,” Mihawk argued.
“Oh absolutely,” Shanks agreed, “But I didn’t.”
“You’re such a hypocrite,” Mihawk sighed pinching the bridge of his nose. Before Shanks could give another snarky retort Himiko cut in.
“Okay time out,” She said grabbing both their attention, “We can’t change what happened, not that I blame either of you, let’s just focus on a solution. I think I should be fine if I take some ibuprofen and avoid penetrative sex for the rest of today.” They both nodded silently, looking somewhat remorseful.
“You need to eat something before you take any of that drug,” Mihawk said after a minute.
“Do you have stuff to make grilled cheese?” Himiko asked. Mihawk nodded.
“We do, we also have leftover curry if you’d like any with that.” He responded.
“Sure, that sounds good,” Himiko said smiling up at him, “Now we either have to figure out a way to move me, or I live here now-” Before she could finish her sentence Mihawk scooped her up in his arms, and started to carry her to the living room. Himiko let out a squeak before being deposited on the couch.
“Okay, problem solved?” she said with a laugh.
“Was that, okay?” Mihawk asked in retrospect.
“Yeah, no I just wasn’t expecting it; I haven’t been lifted since I was a child,” Himiko admitted.
“None of the guys you dated ever lifted you?” Shanks said, raising an eyebrow.
“I don’t think so? I’ve only really been in long-term relationships with women.” She started, “When I was seeing men in any capacity they weren’t really built like either of you.” They both nodded, sporting satisfied looks.
“Do you want to make lunch or do laundry?” Mihawk said looking at Shanks.
“I guess I’ll finish the laundry you started. What’s left?” he asked.
“Everything outside of our bedding should already be in the laundry room,” Mihawk responded.
“Oh, you might want to do my sheets if you’re putting a load in,” Himiko added slightly embarrassed.
“You ruined your sheets too?” Shanks teased, “I thought it was just your underwear.”
“If you had heard what I heard you would have also ruined the sheets,” Himiko said in her defense as her face began to heat up.
“What did you hear?” Shanks said confused.
“Oh, um.” Himiko started playing with the hem of her shirt.
“She came in her underwear after listening to us last night.” Mihawk filled in; Shanks’ smirk grew.
“Huh, I didn’t know voyeurs could be so cute,” Shanks joked.
“I’m not a voyeur! You can perfectly hear everything from your room in that guest bedroom.” She spoke; her face continued to heat up.
“Sure,” Shanks said with a wink before turning to gather the laundry.
“I’m not a voyeur!” she called out after him in a huff. He only laughed in response.
“Can you please get my glasses and phone?” she asked squinting at Mihawk.
“Sure,” he said retreating back to his bedroom. Himiko hummed to herself as she tugged the blanket from the back of the couch down on her bare legs. She jumped when an orange fluffy blur jumped onto the opposite end of the sectional. She immediately relaxed after realizing that it was just Anko. Himiko stretched out an open hand as the cat stalked towards her. Anko paused a few inches away as she sniffed at Himiko’s hand. After a moment she headbutted Himiko’s hand, walked into her lap, and sat down. Himiko smiled down at her, sitting as still as a board to avoid spooking Anko away.
“I see you made a friend,” Mihawk said approaching her from behind.
“Are you talking to me or the cat?” Himiko asked, taking her phone and glasses from Mihawk. He hummed in thought.
“75% you, 25% Anko,” he said leaning down to pet Anko. Himiko could feel her purr in response through the blanket. He pecked Himiko on the lips before heading to the kitchen to get lunch together. Himiko softly petted Anko with her left hand as she opened her phone with her right hand. She paused for a moment, looking at her reflection in the black screen. There were weird shadows on her neck. She quickly opened the front view camera.
“Oh my god,” she said moving her phone at different angles to see all of the damage.
“Is everything alright?” Shanks asked, turning the corner with a laundry basket perched on his hip.
“No, I looked like I fucked a vampire?!” Himiko said exasperated as she continued to take in her image.
“Oh, yeah. Mihawk’s a fiend when it comes to giving hickeys. I forgot to tell you to watch out for that.” Shanks said casually as he passed her and headed for the laundry room.
“You’re no better, look at her thighs,” Mihawk called out from the kitchen. Anko jumped off of her lap and trotted behind Shanks as he passed by. Himiko furrowed her brow as she slid off the blanket revealing a smattering of bruises along her inner thighs. She ran a hand over the markings. Her skin also felt irritated, most likely from Shanks’s stubble. Himiko clicked off the camera app as a message came in from Nojiko letting her know she’ll be free after six pm. Himiko was relieved they agreed on a phone call. She didn’t know how Nojiko felt about the whole sugar daddy situation, and she didn’t want her appearance to sway her.
She mindlessly scrolled through the going merry group chat while she waited for Mihawk to finish preparing lunch. Huh, it looked like Luffy and Usopp were stuck together at Luffy and Zoro’s apartment while Zoro and Sanji were stuck together at Sanji and Usopp’s apartment. While she knew Usopp and Luffy would be fine, she worried about Zoro and Sanji. They were either going to kill each other, or finally fuck. Himiko secretly hoped it was the latter. She didn’t know if it was obvious to everyone, or just because she was an empath, but she had noticed their looks of longing and fondness towards each other when they thought no one was looking. Sure, they argued constantly, but it felt like something else was there. Her thoughts were interrupted by Mihawk placing down a plate in front of her with grilled cheese, curry, and a dose of ibuprofen.
“Everything okay?” he asked looking down at her.
“Yeah, I was just thinking about something, it’s nothing important though.” She said smiling up at him, “Thanks for lunch.”
“Anytime,” He started, “What would you like to drink?”
“Oh, water’s fine.” She said, he nodded and went back to the kitchen. She played on her phone as Mihawk brought out the rest of lunch and sat down on her left. Shanks joined them after a minute and sat down on her right.
“So, now that we’re developing a sexual relationship, I have some questions; assuming that this morning wasn’t a one-off,” Mihawk said before taking a bite of his curry.
“I’d like to continue having sex with you both; if that’s alright with both of you-” Himiko started before Shanks cut her off.
“Oh, thank God,” he said relieved. Himiko laughed while Mihawk gave him a pointed look.
“Not to pressure you either way; I just really enjoyed myself.” Shanks expanded in response to Mihawk’s glare.
“Anyway,” Mihawk started, “As far as contraception goes are you on any? Or do you solely rely on condoms?”
“Oh, I have the arm implant. I got it about a year ago, so I have another two years before it will be removed.”
“That’s an excellent birth control method,” Mihawk said nodding in approval.
“Yeah, I do religiously use condoms as well.” She said placing her empty plate on the coffee table and taking her ibuprofen.
“Are you currently seeing anyone else?” he asked.
“Oh, no. The last time I was with anyone was a one-night stand back in the last week of August. I’m way too busy right now to maintain a relationship outside of this.” She responded.
“We normally don’t use condoms; would you be open to that,” Shanks asked. Himiko paused before responding.
“I kinda don’t have a preference. I’ve only ever used condoms when having sex with men, so I don’t really know the difference.”
“If we were to do that, we’d like you to get tested first; we can as well for your own peace of mind,” Mihawk said. Himiko nodded.
“I actually got tested about three weeks ago for my annual visit at the gynecologist. Is that recent enough or would you like me to get tested again?”
“No, that would suffice.” Mihawk nodded.
“I can send you screenshots of my results from the medical portal. I can also send you a screenshot of the after-visit summary for my implant if you want that for your personal record.” she offered.
“If you don’t mind, I’d really appreciate that,” Mihawk said with a smile.
“Would you like to see anyone outside of this arrangement?” Shanks asked.
“I don’t know,” Himiko answered honestly. “I think I’d really depend on the situation. If I were you’d both be the first to know.”
“We can always table that for if it ever comes up,” Shanks started, “We’re still way too early into this relationship to demand that kind of commitment from you.” Mihawk nodded in agreement.
“’Kay now we can get into the fun stuff; unless you have any more serious questions?” Shanks said glancing at Mihawk. He paused for a moment before shaking his head ‘No’.
“What’s the fun stuff?” Himiko asked amused.
“Kinks, consent, that kinda thing,” Shanks said with a boyish smile.
“If it’s alright with you we’ll continue to use the stop light system,” Mihawk said.
“Yeah, that’s fine,” Himiko started, “Oh, I never got your safe words,”
“Oh, right mine’s ‘objection,” Shanks said causing Himiko to laugh.
“What it’s clear and to the point,” he said in his defense.
“No, no, it makes sense it’s also just really cute.” She said with a smile.
“Mine’s ‘code’”, Mihawk added on.
“Oh, like the codes at a hospital?” She asked. He nodded in response.
“Do you want to stick with ‘four-ways?’” Mihawk asked.
“Yeah, I know it’s random, but I should remember it. Especially if we’re using the traffic light system.”  She responded.
“Alright, now kinks,” Shanks said.
“Are we just going to go over all the kinks?” Himiko asked, “I feel like there has to be a better way.”
“I feel like I’ve seen a website where you can compare kink anonymously,” Mihawk said pulling out his phone.
“Anonymously?” Himiko asked.
“Yeah,” he nodded, “We basically all take this quiz, and it will give us a list of all the kinks we overlap on.”
“Can we all take it at the same time?” Shanks asked.
“Yeah, I just have to send you links, one sec,” he answered.
“Before we get to that do you have any hard stops?” Shanks asked looking down at Himiko.
“Um, I’m not into stuff that involves feet, or human waste. I’m fine with spit and cum; I just don’t like any other bodily fluids.” She responded.
“Okay, we’re definitely on the same page with that.” Shanks nodded.
“Outside of that, my main hard stop is consensual nonconsensual; I just don’t find having sex or scenarios without explicit consent appealing,” Mihawk said.  
“Does that include somnophilia?” Himiko asked.
“Yeah,” he nodded, “I don’t believe in blanket consent.”
Himiko nodded in understanding. While she had just experienced them being thorough with consent, she was happy to hear that’s how they are all the time. Just having this conversation let her know that they were miles ahead of many of her past partners when it came to communication. It all felt very mature in a way that was hard to find with partners her age.
“Okay, you should have the questionnaire now,” Mihawk said. A silence fell over them as they all completed the test. Mihawk and Shanks finished first; it took Himiko some additional time. Which made sense, they had a lot more experience than her and knew each other on a level that she was just beginning to scrape the surface of.
“’kay, I’m done now,” Himiko said as she submitted the quiz and took a deep breath as their results were shared with each other. Her eyes widened as she saw the number of green checks on the list. They apparently had a lot in common. Some things weren’t a surprise like Shank’s daddy kink and Mihawk’s sir kink, oral (giving & receiving), most positions, and impact play. Other things slightly surprised her like how they were both open to pegging, certain role-play scenarios, and nudes. The only things that really surprised her were more based on her inexperience than the actual shock value of them. They both had marked down ‘yes’ to anal, choking, and bondage.
“So, just to get it out of the way, some of the things I marked ‘yes’ to I’ve never done before, but I’m open to,” Himiko said.
“I think that was the case for both of us as well,” Shanks said.
“Yeah,” Mihawk nodded in agreement, “I don’t think either of us has been pegged before, but it’d be interesting to see you Dom us.” He finished with a smirk.
“Are you both switches?” she asked.
“Yeah,” Shanks said as Mihawk nodded ‘yes’. Himiko was about to ask another question but paused when she saw a large wrinkle in Shanks’ pajama pants that was not there before.
“Did you get hard just by talking about this?” she asked teasingly.
“I mean yeah,” he answered shamelessly, “Less from the talk itself and more from imagining doing each of these things to you.”
“Need any help with that?” she asked, eyeing the bulge.
“I thought we agreed you wouldn’t have any more penetrative sex today; I don’t want you hurting yourself,” Shanks said.
“I never said it would be penetrative. Last time I checked there was nothing wrong with my mouth,” she responded coyly, “I’ve already taken the medicine for the soreness; I might as well get all my money’s worth.”

Chapter 1100 came out this Sunday, wow. 1100 chapters in. 100 chapters PAST chapter 1000. Just an insane amount of content for one series. Anyways, something funny I noticed, in the chapter is that when Kuma becomes the new warlord they say he replaced someone.
Tumblr media
Some people are saying this is in reference to Jimbei but I really don't think so. He was a warlord up to Marineford, which is several years after the time this chapter takes place, so he, in this panel, is still a warlord. Look all of them are counted to total to seven
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So who did Kuma replace? I initially thought it was Shanks maybe? It could explain in part the amount of clout he has with the Gorosei, which the arc is heavily expanding upon. Maybe it could explain how he amassed his territory before becoming an Emporer. But
Tumblr media
This panel shows that this takes place when Luffy is about a teenager, nearing the age he set off to be a pirate give or take a year to a couple months. And by this time Shanks has been an established Emporer for like 10ish years. So if it was Shanks then there would be like a 12 year gap where the WG just didn't have a 7th Warlord. Which makes no sense to me.
And in the last couple panels Moria was already past his prime, which means he's made the Zombies, which means he's already collected the corpses of notable Rocks Pirates like Captian John, which means the former Rocks pirates we know are all ruled out (Shiki is MIA, Whitebeard is literally in the panel as an Emporer and so is Big Mom and Kaido. Glorosia is there, Stussy is in the current timeline a cohort of a warlord, Silver Axe is also a Moria zombie).
EXCEPT ONE.
Maybe it's Wangzhi? (Ochoku). Because in the current time of the manga we know he was the former owner of Full-o-lead Island. I'm guessing that's how he acquired the territory once owned by his captian, and somehow he fell out of grace with the government??

OPLA episode 2 - first impressions
I swear, I feel like a screamy fangirl, considering I have watched German One Piece since I was like... 12, quite literally, since it aired in 2003. Even though I haven't consistently read/watched the series, I had a stronger phase in 2011 or so and watching the series now brings a lot of nostalgia back. SPOILERS AHEAD.
Tumblr media
I've said it before, but the Romance Dawn Trio is giving me SO much life. I have always had a fondness for OT3 dynamics and the dynamics portrayed here are just... Wow. (I told this a friend, but they actually kinda remind of me of the JJK trio here, but let's not digress.) Again, the whole thing with Zoro and Nami doing their best not to give the impression that they give a damn, just to STILL end up doing everything for Luffy and each other is giving me so many goddamn feelings every. Single. Time. Zoro and Nami have always been infamous for having that "One for you, one for me" dynamic, constantly bickering, always looking for that "equivalent exchange" with, apparently, no strings attached, only gains, no emotional attachment whatsoever... But the one thing they (and all strawhats, really) have in common is that they would move mountains (read: die) for Luffy. And that's where they'll always put their differences aside - the moment they smiled at each other, promising to kick butts of everyone they'd encounter (to eventually save Luffy) side by side, was everything to me. Maybe there aren't a lot of emotions between them, but even if they appear to be on completely different ends of the loyalty/motivation spectrum - there is that thing that links them together and that's just very enjoyable, despite all the bickering. ("There's something way more valuable than diamonds - knowledge!!!") Also, a piece of framing I haven't even REALLY thought about before is really nicely done - the fact that BOTH Zoro and Nami do NOT think highly of pirates at this point in time. So Luffy being Luffy, convincing them that he is indeed different... It makes their developing bond so much more special.
The LuNa scene at the beginning - even if we've already seen them in clips -, is just sending me. Luffy's ADHD energy is beautiful, you can really tell how excited he is - and how easily he attaches himself to his not crewmates. I mean, one of his love languages CLEARLY is physical touch after all (the second one is food sharing) and, again, I just love how natural it is. Or maybe that's just me.
... What is it with the way Zoro's opponents have been oozing with sexual tension towards him so far??? And he's not any better, seriously... I mean, we already have the lone wolf facade CRUMBLING HEAVILY, having Zoro basically CONFESS that "this simpleton in a strawhat" changed his way of thinking within HOURS of having known him.... Be still my ZoLu heart.
Tumblr media
I love the foreshadowing in Shanks' portrayal, even as someone who hasn't completely caught up to everything that is happening.
I really enjoy that Buggy is actually portrayed to be terrifying, I think they did find a good middle ground in language usage not being TOO on the nose with everything. But the imminent fear of death is always there and his over-the-top, dramatic acting fits SO well.
Again, I really enjoy Koby's acting, his and Helmeppo's dynamics are great and Garp has been intimidating as well...
Luffy's good-hearted-main-character-energy is still through the roof and I love it. Never stop smiling, my friend.
Fight choreographies and CGI still look high quality to me.
Again, for me it's easy to take this for what it is, I feel heavily reminded of my beloved Digimon stageplay and I've known these characters for years, so my bias should not come as a surprise. But really? I enjoy being catered to and the quality speaks for itself!
NAMI FIXING THE HAT THOUGH!!! God, I love them.

Wip Wednesday!
I was tagged by @causticcontemplation (thank you!) and I'm tagging @vilelithe even though I suspect they won't follow up, simply because I know they're always cooking something that I want to see.
I have three wips I'll share :)
Every Call And Cost (made to your heart) Chapter 13
“Nil!” Gale calls as soon as they enter camp and Nil knows right away that she will not be afforded the evening of rest she so desires. “Why did you tell Elminster you don’t know me?” Nil groans, dragging her feet as she trudges over to the two wizards. “Look, where I’m from snitches get shanked. If someone I don’t know asks after someone – whether I know them or not, whether I like them or not, no officer I’ve never heard of that fella.” “You aren’t Athkatlan?” Elminster asks, clearly amused by the situation. Nil smiles. “Did I really trick you?” “I could tell something was amiss; your accent was not chief among my suspicions.” “Hells yeah.” Nil grins and wonders if Mystra’s Chosen will respond to her fist bump when offered. He does. “Now that’s out of the way, please, Elminster, why are you here?” “Such a hurry you’re in, m’boy! Can’t you spare a bite to eat for an old man?” “Yeah, Gale, jeez. You didn’t even get him a seat.” Nil drags a stool over from Wyll’s tent. “There’s a peach in our rations I’ve had my eye on, but I’m sure it could be spared for such important company.” Gale narrows his eyes at her. “You’re on his side?” “It’s funnier.” Nil smiles.
Unnamed Shadowzel Travel Fic
Shadowheart checks her phone a final time before opening the door to her hostel room. It’s 12:47am in Amsterdam, just over two hours ago she was on a transcontinental flight, and her phone is sitting at a solid 7% charge. More than she wants to sleep, she wants to shower. “Please, god, let it be empty.” She booked a pricier room for the first stay of her trip, not wanting to deal with getting off a plane and sharing a room with sixteen strangers. This one has only four beds in it, and an ensuite bathroom and shower. The hallway lights are automatically on at all hours, from what Shadowheart can tell, so when she opens the door to bring her suitcases through she tries to do it quickly. “Fuck,” Shadowheart hisses, yanked back by her shirt getting caught on the door handle – a distinct rrrip accompanying her curse. “Of course.” She scowls at her torn shirt and fully disentangles herself from the door, letting it swing shut with a loud bang. “Fuck.” She repeats, checking the room to see if she’s disturbed anybody.
Unnamed Shadowheart x Nil Romeo and Juliet Modern AU Skate Park AU
“Nil,” Zevlor calls, “Silfy’s asthma.” “Yes sir,” Nil had been about to light up a new cig without even thinking. He salutes Zevlor – half-mocking, half serious – and makes his way to the far end of the basketball court. There’s girl there he hadn’t noticed until now; she looks to be about his age and he doesn’t recognise her. She’s smoking too. “Hey,” he half nods, “you alright?” “Do I seem like I’m not?” The girl arches an eyebrow at him. She’s really fucking pretty; pitch black hair that’s unreally long, stunning green eyes, teasing little smile. “I dunno,” Nil grins. “You’re the one smoking solo over here. No wheels?” “It’s not my thing.” The girl sniffs. “You smell like weed.” “Fuck, really?” Nil sniffs the collar of his coat. “Shit.” “It might be fine. I have a good nose.” “You do.” Nil shrugs off his coat, bundles it up, and tosses it aside. “Is that better?”

I just binged the first four episodes of One Piece Live Action and ghthjhtn
They definitely made some changes to the plot there but I can't exactly comment on those until, y'know, I get done with the series and see what they want to do. But even with the changes the main plot points are the same and I will hand it to them that they do work to make the first arcs a bit more cohesive as opposed to the regular shonen flavor of unrelated early villains
You know the "Luffy would not say that" "Yes but Inaki would" thing? Fucking. Yes. Is that regular flavor Luffy? No. Is it fucking working? Hell yes
Zoro acts so cool but also like it stinks so much of overcompensating young adult. It might fool new watchers but it's such an act
Flashback preteen!Zoro is worth the whole fucking series aghjtgjthg that was exactly the kind of 12yo boy you find in a dojo (source: I did karate as a teen I have seen things)
BUGGY BABYGIRLEST
(That being said please take Buggy off the dash I personally love him but clown phobia is a thing and that's fucked up)
Garp feels too serious tho. His accent is 12/10 but make my grandpa goofier. Also his presence at Roger's execution was A Choice and at first I was a bit miffed but like thinking about it a bit? Kinda makes sense? Like considering the deal he and Roger had about Ace I can accept Garp putting up a show to make himself, y'know, not look like someone who might hide the Pirate King's one and only son
Shanks and his crews look like such losers I LOVE IT
Unfortunately I just can't quite get to like Nami's actress. She's doing a great job it's not that she's bad it's just. Her face I think. She doesn't have the face I would envision for Nami and I can't put my finger on why. But I've also felt this way since I saw the first ads so
Anyways it's goofy, I'm liking it, there's things that can probably be improved a bit but I'm having fun and that's enough for me and like already way more than I expected from a Netflix anime live action
Also Zoro hugging Wado to sleep ahdgjgtbjhtg he needs his emotional support sword
