Oh, oh! I have an avatar idea/request. I haven't seen the new movie yet but I always loved the idea of maybe a teen reader getting dragged to Pandora with their semi-negligent parents. Like they love their parents but they never have anytime for the reader. Reader gets signed up for the avatar program as a way to keep them entertained and out of the way of their busy scientist/military parents. They don't usually get to leave the base but sometimes they get to go on little excursions not far from it to do test runs and see what their avatar body is capable of and how their age effects things. However, on one of these trips something bad happens and the reader gets separated from the scientists and their escorts and now finds themself lost and scared in the jungle (and possibly unable to return to their human body).

PLATONIC JAKE SULLY (+ a lil sully family) X READER

(A/N I don’t know why I ended up feeling weird this, I think it’s because it reminds me of wattpad days. Kinda long, enjoy)

———————————————————————

Mayday mayday- theres a fire in the engine- the chopper is coming down.

You were always told by your parents to keep quiet, to stay on the sideline as to not hoard any attention that could reflect badly upon them, stay silent, stay obedient. Thats always how it was with them. You knew they loved you, even if they had a hard time showing it, even if it meant they talked to you about ten minutes in a day.

At least you were guaranteed a safe home, food, clothes, and a comfortable life. That is, until you were volunteered (voluntold) by your parents in the avatar program, it was supposedly a test to try the DNA pairing on a younger subject. And your parents had said it would be good for you to see where they work, but you knew that it was just because you were too “needy” in their eyes.

Of course, when you were told that you would be accompanying them on their work trips, you were elated, theyd never invited you before! Then you learned it was on another planet. After a few fights, as always, you ended up agreeing. After all, they said it was safe.

So two months later, a billion tests later, and a new blue humanoid created with your DNA, you had settled into pandora. It was strange to be honest, you were possibly one of the only people on the planet under the age of 21, and not educated as if you were a harvard professor.

Everything was out of bounds, you couldnt ever go to your parents lab, couldnt go outside, couldnt even meet your new blue body. Most of the time you sadly sat, turning into a human statue in your small room with your books. Of course you didnt complain, you never would,

you never did.

Then, you got to integrate yourself into your new body. And your brain, along with your DNA, was finally conjoined. You were wary at first, it was so surreal, after all you were changing bodies. But once you actually did it, you were so glad your parents signed you up.

All of a sudden you were strong, not just strong, but coursing with energy, you felt as if you could fly, or crack boulders in half, it was so surreal. The same feeling you might get as if you were underwater your entire life, and finally got your first breath of fresh air.

You never wanted to leave, never wanted to go back into your cubicle of a bedroom where you could barely breath without feeling inferior. Your legs moved before your mind did, and before you could comprehend, you were standing in the middle of the strange fruit fields with the nurses chasing you down. Your parents would be pussed if they saw you. But at this point? You didnt even care.

You didnt even care

---

As the months passed by your place at the laboratory had been established, you were correct in assuming that you were the youngest here, and that made the research you were contributing to far more interesting. You learned so much about these people, this species.

Primarily, the function of your avatar was completely optimal, you could walk, talk, breathe, and act like all of the others could. There was just one little thing.

Your life was better than it ever was, you didnt even need your parents to love you, you had so many people who already did. 90% of the time you spent beong tested on while doing daily activities. Youd only left the base to go into pandora twice, and that was just to see the land, see the place youd be living for a long time. While it could sometimes be boring, it was far better than your life back home.

After some time, your parents requested that you be taken to a farther laboratories in the mountains, which hurt a lot, but you couldnt say no. they had to transfer yur human, and your navi body. It was so strange to see yourself. Your human self, in other eyes.

So, here you are now. Clutching tight onto the seat of the large helicopter, your human body was encased in an airtight bed, an oxygen mask pressed tightly to your face. Your eyes were practically glued onto your human body, and you were barely able to peel them away, you looked so different when seeing yourself from different eyes, so weak.

It made you sad to know how everybody else saw you. You just stared, at least you got to be away from the two scientists you wished you could call your parents.

In your trance, you hadnt noticed the pilots in the front yelling at eachother, or the scientists rushing around the aircraft seemingly in a panic. It wasnt until the leather seat underneath you began shaking aggressively that you looked up.

There was smoke, but no visible fire, and the aircraft seemed to be dragging, instead of darting swiftly through the air like youd seen all the other planes do, almost like it was too heavy. It slugged, and slowly drifted down.

Panic slowly overtook your senses, you werent sure what was happeningm but by the looks of it, it was very bad. Understanding that you knew absolutely nothing about emergency procedures, You tried to stay put as well as you could, knowing anything you tried to do would just make things worse. But then, a large pop bellowed through the sky, and instead of dragging slowly, the helicopter began to plummit. Then you had to start moving.

Gravity threw you into the other end of the helicopter, and you frantically had to grip at the edge of the opening in attempts to not fly out. THings flew out of the sides, including a few screaming scientists… and the white bed with your human body in it. You watched it fly though the air towards the forest floor with wide eyes, slowly letting your grip slip. In your distraction, you didnt pay any attentuon to the other large objects flying out of the plane.

A large box containing some kind of lab supplies crashed against you, smashing you in the face, and knocking the breath right out of your lungs. And like the rest of the helicopter, you too began falling so abruptly that you couldnt even do anything more than scream. Clutching your head with your hands, you curled up, and just fell.

When you hit the ground, it was pain. And then nothing but black.

----

The flutter of your eyes, the feeling of your fingers against hard dirt, the smell of smoke and burnt flesh wafting in the air. You werent quite conscious, but you werent nececarilly unconscious either. Just there.

When you were finally able to peel your eyes open, there was so much green. Glowing mushrooms strungs across trees, large leaves dripping water, little bugs littered throughout the dirt, white veins growing across your hands and feet. Little glowing bugs that looked like dandelion fuzzthat bounced around across you.

That peace only kept for so long though, and as you realized the depth of your situation, that your helicopter crashed in the middle of a pandora forest, your human body had to be dead so it's amazing that youre even alive right now, and you have no contact to anybody who could save you.

And so, you cried. Unsure of what else to do.

Soft sobs slowly transitioned into rough, ugly crying. Maybe it was the panic, or maybe it was just pent up anxiety being given the oppurtunity, maybe even both. But you cried, without any reguard for what could be watching.

Naturally, as you were face down in the dirt, crying to your hearts content like a baby, you payed no care, nor attent to the sound of hooves traveling your way, or the sight of the native people stampeding towards the disturbance, the noise. They came came to a halt upon seeing you though, covered in seeds from ey-wa. The deity clearly did not want them to harm you, after all, you were just a young girl. Even if you were a human. \

“Call jake.” a womanly voice announced amongst the group in a foreign language, she was loud enough to alert you of their presence. Your head perked up, and in doing so made the pain in your back shiver through in small bursts, a wince left your lips.

You stared at the group in fear with wide eyes, trying to push yourself farther an farther away, which did nothing but unsettle the little white bugs all over you. They floated away towards them, and they stared back with even wider eyes. They werent really sure what to do, usually they would kill any trespassers, but you were protected, so should they grab you and take you back? Or do they leave you alone? They would have to let jake decide.

They stared at you, trying to get close, you stared at them, they muttered in their language, sounding far more than confused. You slowly scooted back, wincing the entire time out of pain. Any attempts to stand up were halted, as the white roots around your feet made the ground slippery, and just made you clumsily fall back down. It was humiliating, like watching a fish flop around out of water.You stayed quiet, you always did.

They all went silent within a few moments though, and the sound of more hooves echoed through the forest around. You didnt know what was happening, but clearly it was important, and you got the impression that it was not good for you. So you clutched the tree next to you, and stretched as far as you could to see what was happening.

And it struck fear in you. One of the largest Na-vi people youve ever seen, at least 10 or 11 feet, with braids that had long strands of silver interlocked, and the piercing green eyes of a hunter. He stared at you, and you stared right back. When he opened his mouth you expected more of that fooreign language, but instead, it was english.

“Why are you here? What happened?” he questioned, dismounting the horse like creature, and pulling out his braid from the connection. He was wearing some kind of beaded shirt, unlike the others,

The Navi around seemed to await every word he spoke. You perked up at the sound of english, happy to find the familiarity, however, youre pretty sure half of the bones in this body were broken, and it just caused you pain. YOure body let out a whimper before you could stop it.

At the noises that left you, the male quirked an eyebrow, and instead of the angry, almost terrifying look that was spread on his face, was a face of concern. You were so young, so small, he very well couldnt hurt you, and you had to be important, eywa wanted you safe, even if the goddess of the land didnt, he felt the need to protect you.

He had many children, and his youngest was soon growing old, and would eventually leave him. You were just so small, and you looked so young, you reminded him of kiri, abandoned, alone. He couldnt leave you.

He began growing closer, catching your gaze and holding it, he put his hands up and put his weapon down. Just trying not to scare you. When he opened his mouth you were expecting that language you couldnt understand, but to your pleasure, it was english.

“How bad are you hurt kid? I saw the smoke, eywa can heal you. I just need you to come with me” he reached his hand towards you, motioning for you to latch on. When you made no motion top grab it, he held your unrelenting gaze, and scooped his arm under your torso, shushing you when you cried out in pain. He held you tightly, tucking you in the knook of his arm. For a moment he seemed distracted, his eyes drawn to the floating white puffs above. What were those anyway?

You held your breath as he remounted the horse, and spoke a few words in that awful language you couldnt understand, with a squeal from the thing you were on top of, it began moving, along with the navi around you. The man gripped you tightly and pressed you close to his chest, one hand on the horse, one around your waist. You winced again, trying to hold back tears, everything hurt.

“It's okay, youll be alright, we can heal you, got it?”, you stayed quiet.

And in nothing but a few moments, It was calm again. Youd never actually met any of the natives, but you had thought it would be far more scary than this, your parents said they would snap and try to kill you. They didnt, in fact, and this man, this navi seemed so human. So kind. You felt so comfortable, he made you feel so comfortable.

The sound of the hooves against the dirt, this mans light breathing against your ear, the warmth soaking from him to you, his hand pressing you close, the way he looked down at you, amking sure you were comfortable. How he seemed to hover, to protect. Like a father should. At least thats what you thought.

You stared at him, and his eyes locked with yours, a small smile flashing at you. It just made him squeeze you tighter, god, it was just so endearing, so adorable how you stared. You looked so much like neytiri.

It only took a few minutes of him holding you for you to fall unconscious, probably because of the excessive blood leaving your system, or the physical attatchment you were already beginning to feel, or the lack of sleep. Either way, you ended up dozing off, and curling closer to him.

---

Once again, you had to peel your eyes open, but this time it wasnt as unpleasant. Instead of a muddy, veiny floor, covered in bugs, in agony. Instead, you were wrapped in some kind of cocoon, on top of a warm blanket or some kind of plant.

There was a woman sitting next to the pod you were in, smashing down some string smelling plant in a bowl. Her eyes were so green, and she was so beautiful. When she noticed you were awake, she put the bowl down, and hovered closer.

“That is my son, nateyam” the woman pointed to you, or more to the thing under you, in which you had previously mistaken for a plant, but instead, which you probably shouldve realized sooner. Was a navi. He looked to be a few years older than you, at least 17 or 18.

You shifted and sat up, trying to exit the cocoon, but to your embarrassment, your foot got caught in the edge, and you flew over, the boy you had been lying on top of grabbed you and hoisted you back up. You shook his hands off and stood up. Now realizing that there were other navi around too, they also looked young, maybe a family?

The man from earlier, who you assumed was their leader of some sort, appeared around behind the woman, and wrapped his arms around her waist with a smile, holding your gaze. You panicked, understanding now that you were with a bunch of strangers, and your parents, if they even cared, probably thought you were dead.

“I- i have to get back- they wont know that im okay-” you croaked out, your voice was hushed, and rough, like youd been screaming for hours on end, you shook nateyams hands off of you, and stood up straight, meeting the woman in the eye, she looked worried.

“Who is they? Do you have family where you live?” the woman answered, clearly she was his wife, or his mate, as they would call it. She had a thick accent, and a strong voice, commanding. So that man, jake, he couldnt be a native, he talked l

“Uh- yeah- i guess. I lived where the labs were. Uh- the humans? They have a building somewhere- i don't know-” you rushed out, not knowing how long youd been gone, they mightve already pronounced you dead. Meaning they wouldnt look for you. The boy behind you hushed you, tryign to calm your panic, and placed a hand on your shoulder. Only for you to shrug it off.

The navi around locked eyes, contemplating their next words. of course they knew where the humans stayed, jake lived there for half a year, they hated them, when they werent burning down their forests, they were killing their animals, their people. They would kill you. You couldnt go back. Even if it meant lying to you.

“There havent been humans on this planet for a long time”

What

What were you supposed to do now?

Where were you supposed to go?

You were stuck.

Oh god.

———————————————————————

Some Sentences Someday

Tagged by @funkypoacher

Tagging: @noetikat @direwombat @purplehairsecretlair @strangefable @adelaidedrubman @marivenah @roofgeese @natesofrellis and anyone else who might have something to share

following up from this snippet I shared yesterday:

“I don’t know man, maybe she’s on her rag? Do you see any bears around? They can smell the blood, you know?”

And just like that the dam was ruptured, in fact it was annihilated completely. Her hands collided with Hurk’s chest, wrapping her fingers in the material of his ripped and beer-stained shirt. Despite his overall size and weight she easily tossed him back against the wall of the old steel mill. She bared her teeth like an animal ready to go for the jugular, seething. Her will to hold the reins had crumbled. “You wanna know why I'm pissed, Drubman? I’m trying to do a job here and I’m surrounded by a collection of fuck ups!”

“Fuck ups? I ever tell you about the time I -” He was completely unfazed by her hands sliding ever closer to his throat to choke him out. Almost as if this wasn’t the first time someone had reacted this way around him.

“I really don’t give a fuck. I just want to get back home. This mill is useless and if we leave now I can rest knowing I’ll never have to work with you again.”

“What do you mean?” His eyes grew wide with genuine surprise. He’d never been cut from the team before, left to sit on the sidelines.

“I’d like Hope County to still be standing when all is said and done, you fucking moron!”

“Hey, Dep, that ain’t very nice.” Sharky placed his hand on her shoulder and she flinched out of his grip. “We were just trying to help.”

“You wanna help?” She eyed Sharky over her shoulder, letting her hands slip from Hurk’s shirt, poking her finger into his breastbone instead, her attention returned completely to the dimwit in her clutches. “Stay out of my way and stop using that fucking rocket launcher!” Each poke was harder than the last accentuating her point.

Kit stormed away, not wanting to hear whatever dim witted retort they might come up with. It was going to be an awkward ride home, and she knew she’d just made it worse, but anything was better than leaving those two with the idea that she’d work with them in any sort of capacity ever again.

Hurk looked to his cousin who merely shrugged, neither could tell what made her snap, even with their shared brain cell working overtime. They were doing what she asked, helping her deal with Peggies the best - and only - way they knew how.

Tulip’s rotor began to spin as Kit’s sullen face came into view. She opened the door and climbed into the chopper, looking less than enthused.

Adelaide looked her over while Kit began to drum her thumb on her thigh, her knee bouncing as she began to chew on the thumbnail of her other hand. She wasn’t going to mention the fact that it looked like the Deputy had just been through the wars and instead casually pointed to the redhead’s cheek. “Hey Kit, you got a little soot on your face there, sweetie.”

It was enough to snap her out of the hole she had sunk into. Leading her to rub with the palm of her hand against her face as she sat back in her seat.

She was thoroughly unimpressed with how the day had turned out. She had never failed so badly, not since…well she’d rather not think about that right now. Better to swallow that down and focus on the here and now. God, if her father was here he would have chewed her out. People like Hurk and Sharky were meant to be kept on a short leash, they couldn’t be trusted to follow through and she gave them too much slack. It was her fault that the steel mill was gone. It was her fault that they had lost an important outpost. It was her fault that she and the rest of Hope County were stuck in the middle of all of this.

“Are we still waitin’ for those two idiots to climb up? Or would you prefer I took off without ‘em?” Adelaide asked with a shrug of her shoulder.

“You really want to leave those two alone out here?”

“You’re probably right, cult’s enough of a problem, don’t need these dumbasses burning down the forest around us while we’re at it because of a fuckin’ wolverine or something.”

Snowball’s Chance

You watched from the sidelines as the guys were all throwing snowballs at one another from the safety of their individual snow forts. Usopp was winning easily, getting Luffy, his brothers, Chopper, and Franky out but Zoro managed to sneak up on him while he was focusing on Luffy and he too was soon out. In the end it was just Zoro and Sanji in an all out war with each other again.

Nami was taking bets, but you turned down her offer to wager on the account of being biased. You and Zoro had been dating for several months now, it's just that no one else knew. You were both friends before and you didn't want the group to get strange because the two of you suddenly started dating and so you came up with the idea go just avoid the annoying and awkward conversations and teasing by just keeping quiet.

"SHITTY COOK! THAT WAS LOW EVEN FOR YOU!" you turn your head from the snowman you were currently building with Luffy to see Sanji kick down a part of Zoro's snow fort.

"ALL IS FAR IN LOVE AND WAR!" Sanji yelled back as he retreated to his own fort in your direction. "Isn't that right (Y/N)-swan!' He quickly waves lovingly at you before a snowball aimed at his head soars over. Sanji easily dodges, but unfortunately you did not. You fall on your butt at the impact and wipe the snow from your face. Before Sanji could even say anything about Zoro hitting you, you glare at him from your spot on the ground and quickly jump up.

"You'll pay for that!" Rushing to the pile of snowballs behind Sanji's fort you begin to bombard the greenettes remaining fort with them. "Sanji, sneak around and hit the tree he's under. I'll get him in the right position!" You inform the swooning male next to you, no way in hell were you going to lose to your direct attack boyfriend. When it came to strategic games, you always won even if your opponent was Nami or Robin.

Sanji manages to hide behind cars and other places around the yard as you keep Zoro busy and by the time he got to the back of the large oak tree that Zoro thought was a good place to set his base under, you had managed to get him in just the right spot.

"NOW!" At your que Sanji kicks the back of the tree hard and the snow covered branches let loose. Covering not only one but both of the men.

You get up from behind the snow fort and laugh as you move back to help finish what Luffy and his brothers decided to call the 'Evil Snowman Army'. Probably because they couldn't even place the rocks on there faces right resulting in a disturbing line up of snowmen.

Barely out of the heap of snow and the two are already fighting over who won. Sanji insisting that he won since the two of you teamed up and Zoro arguing over how two on one doesn't count towards a victory.

"If it wasn't for the cheap shot, I would've won!"

"Its because of your cheap shot that (Y/N) got hit and came over to my side. She is finally realizing that I'm better! She would always take your side." Sanji gloated as they walked over to look at the horrific 'Evil Snowman Army'. You could feel the green eyes of your boyfriend shoot holes into the back of your head, as if demanding you tell Sanji otherwise.

"I don't see how getting back at Zoro for being a shitty aim means I like you more, Sanji?" You don't even bother turning around.

"She said 'I like you more!', ahh (Y/N)-swannn!" At this point everyone turns to you for your reaction. You probably had an expression showing how stupid you thought he was on your face and just as you turn around, cheeks flushed red not by cold but embarrassment, to tell the man off, Zoro was right in front of you. His gaze was a mixture of anger and possessiveness.

Within the second you met his gaze, he was already kissing you. His hands wrapped tightly around your hips and back. You could feel the warmth of his body spreading through yours. At first it was forceful and rough, but soon turned soft and almost apologetic. he probably came back to his senses about how 'friends' don't just kiss like this so deeply in front of people. Just as you felt him moving away slightly, you smile into the kiss and wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him into you.

When you were finally satisfied with your fill of him, you loosen your grip and though you could tell he was reluctant, Zoro did as well. You look at the wide eyed group off friends and smile sheepishly. Hopefully things wouldn't get that awkward after all this.

"There isn't a snowballs chance in hell that my girlfriend would pick you over me, you shitty ero cook!" Sudden bursts of laughter arise and you see Nami start to take in and hand out cash.

"You had bets placed on us!" You glare at her.

"Oh please, we all knew how the two of you felt. When you both started getting closer a few months back almost everyone figured it out. The bet was how you two were gonna tell us."

"And?!"

"obviously the 'Sanji pisses off Zoro into saying it' won."

"Damn, my bet was on a drunk kiss." Ace slaps down a twenty in Nami's hand.

"Don't be so sour, I don't know why only Robin and I bet on Sanji pulling the trigger." Nami grins as she counts her cash.

"I don't really know what is going on over there, but now that you all know I ain't gonna hold back." Zoro exclaims and wraps his arms around you so that his chest was against your back and his head rested on top of yours.

"Bu-u-ut, (Y/N)-swan wouldn't date that brute!" Sanji yelled as he looked upward with his hands over his eyes.

"Sanji bet a hundred that you guys weren't" Nami snickers.

"sorry Sanji, but like he said; there's not a snowballs chance in hell I would wanna date anyone but Zoro."

One Piece's WWHI Series (Isekai Ver.)

2.) What would happen if the others heard you speak your native language? (Part 2)

~Previously~

After gathering the lost sheeps, the crew got to drinking with Whitebeard and Red-haired pirates. Apparently, the yonkos met on this island and decided to catch up with each other.

Which leads the lass to this particular…predicament.

"Are you sure you want to join a kid's game?" the girls asks, quite concerned by the way how the two yonkos are acting.

"Yeah! Start explainin' kiddo!"

"It's been quite some time since we had a friendly game, right red hair?!" The two laughed with arms strewn across each other shoulders.

The girl sighs but does as he says anyways, "okay, so it's called 'Patintero.' Basically, there are two teams," she points towards the group split between the two captains. "One is on offense, while the other is on defense."

"The defense team stands on these lines," she taps her foot on the white taped ground which were laid in a rectangle with line intersecting the sidelines in the middle creating squares. "Rule is that the person in charge of this one line cannot step out of it nor cross onto other lines." The girl hops onto one side of the rectangle and opens up her arms. "And all the offense team have to do is pass the defense team!"

"Sounds too easy," Zoro commented with a smirk, ready to pound Sanji to the floor.

"But!" the girl added with a finger twirling, "no going out of any of the lines or you are out!"

She chuckles at their groans, seemingly catching onto 90% of most of their plan.

"No Devil Fruits or weapons either then?" Shanks pouted and the girl ruthelessly nodded with a glare.

"Of course! We're playing it the OG- classic way," she huffed before whistling. "Get to your places, we're gonna start!"

The offense team was consisted of Whitebeard, Ace, Luffy, Zoro, Robin, Nami, and, Usopp; while on the other team, Shanks, Sanji, Franky, Chopper, Brook, Marco, and Thatch were on defense. It quite hilarious sight to see, two yonkos facing off against each other right outside the bar.

"No Haki by the way!" The girl whispers to the red headed captain who pouts in response.

"Why not!"

"Because it'll give your team an unfair advantage," Benn rolls his eyes and the girl couldn't help but giggle. She did try to invite the first mate to the game but he explained that he had to watch his captain instead.

"Unfair- shmair- everything's fair game as a pirate!"

"Correlation?"

"Me!"

Dead panning, she proceeded to turn around and signal to the others.

"Ready!"

"Are you just gonna ignore me?!

"Set!"

"Kiddo… :("

The girl glanced at the captain's puppy eyes, and she couldn't help but feel bad. That's why…

"Go!" she shouts with a grin.

"Heartless!"

The girl merely cackles, walking away from the ensuing chaos to narrate the whole game.

"Zoro goes in for a slide- but oh no!" The girl watched as he gets clotheslined by Franky who simply stretched his arm to one side of the rectangle to another. Blowing the whistle, she shouts a "foul!" "What?!" She points at his extended arm with an arched brow, "you used a weapon." "That’s my arm!" "You are considered a weapon," she whistles, "you're out." The cyborg stands there in shock, his jaw hitting floor and Sanji couldn’t help but sympathetically pat his shoulders. "Wouldn't that be unfair?" Marco frowned, "It is part of his body and its not like he can remove it." The girl thought about it for a second before snapping her fingers. "You're back in Franky." He shouts out in glee and the girl could see- at the corner of her eye- Zoro grumble at her call and she couldn't help but let out a cough of a laugh in her fist. "Oi! Wasn't that foul play?!" Zoro complains. "Just make sure you don't use any of your body modification Franky." The girl reminds, to which the cyborg threw her a thumbs up. "Did she really just ignore me?" "I know how you feel."

"YOU'RE ON THE OTHER TEAM."

"Though, you have to agree that we're definitely on the same team against her."

"Ah…Right."

AFTERMATH:

For the girl to be dying on the ground right now was a sight they we're not surprised to see.

Despite officiating the whole game- as well as narrating it- she couldn't help but choke on her spit when Whitebeard would simply get caught right by the crown jewels, or Ace and Luffy would try to initiate their plan but because of the zero coordination they have with each other (they argues the whole time on who could finish first) they flailed like flying fishes.

Although, Shanks ended up winning despite Nami, Robin, and Usopp being able to get through.

Did they use Zoro as bait multiple times?

Yes.

Without hesitation.

Every time.

"Fuck all of you." Zoro grumbles, dusting out the dirt that was stuck on his shirt as the three just shrugged.

"You just have to be as good as Captain Usopp to win like me, Zoro!"

"Ha?"

"EEP!!"

"Pucha- we need a round two here!"

"NO!"

"yes!"

"SHUT IT SHANKS."

Strawhats with a S/O who’s pretty much the definition of hard working. Sure, she performs janitorial and assistant duties on deck, but other times, she works extremely hard to learn how to fight by self-teaching herself through instruction books and sparring. In the pre-time skip, she’s amongst the weakest in the crew, but in the time skip? She could be amongst the strongest, enough to rival and match the Monster Trio, being mainly skilled in archery but also in close combat.

Strawhats with a Hard Working S/O

(SFW)

(minus Chopper and Brook - who will be included as friends rather than S/O)

Luffy

pre time-skip he does not mind how weak or strong you are

will attempt to pry you away from your duties to have fun with him

doesn't understand why you are always working

will complain to you how he is bored quite a lot

is also happy to sit around you while you do janitorial roles

will never stop talking when he is around you

likes to be in your presence

won't understand your training books as he never saw a need to train

post time-skip he is awestruck by you

yooo can i plz request strawhats hcs with a dumb/humorous and energetic f reader? if u have characters limit then ignore!

Of course! My character limit is 9 so you can request aaaaaall of the strawhats! I love writing for these babies XD I hope you enjoy!

Luffy:

He absolutely loves...LOVES when you match his energy

He’s a very hyper boy, so finding you and seeing that you can be just as hyper as him if not more?

He loves it

He always invites you to play on the deck with Chopper and Usopp

He especially loves playing tag

You better run fast…

He’ll catch you in a tackle and have you both rolling across the deck

Sanji will scold him for being too rough with you, but you eat it up

You catch him similarly

You know he can take it when you tackle him

With his devil fruit you know nothing you do could hurt him

Every once in a while you’ll take his breath away...literally

But other than that, he loves when you both can play off each other’s energy

If you’re worried about seeming dumb to him...don’t even think about it

He’s not the brightest himself so he doesn’t even notice if you seem dumb

He also loves that you can make him laugh

“Tell another joke y/n!”

He will listen to your jokes day and night

Zoro:

At first...he found you annoying

He thought you were just as dumb as Luffy

But you were nakama

He would still come to your aid if ever you needed it

But after a while...he starts to see past the intellect

Your kindness, your humor, your drive

He falls for you fast once he starts to pay attention to you

His love language is quality time

So often he’ll have you sit in the room with him while he trains

He often won’t say anything, but he will often look your way to make sure you’re watching him train

If you wanted to train with him...he can barely contain his excitement

“I’m not going to go easy on you.”

Except he does

Every...single...time

He likes to laugh, so hearing your jokes is always a good time for him

He likes to nap with you, but you’re often too energetic for that

He understands, but he’ll nap close to you

Even if you can only cuddle and sit still for a few minutes

It doesn’t take him long to fall asleep, so a few minutes is all he needs

He doesn’t care that you leave to play with the crew

Just being around you for a short period of time is enough for him

Nami:

She didn’t pay much attention to you at first, since intellect is something she looked for in a partner

She’d befriend you, but didn’t think it would go anywhere

But she slowly fell for you as she watched you and the crew play

She didn’t participate, more than content to just watch with Robin

But every once in a while she’ll play with you guys

The crew noticed immediately

She never played with them…

But that all changed once you came around

You asked her so sweetly to join and she couldn’t say no to that face…

She gets a bit frustrated when she just wants to relax and cuddle but you can’t sit still

Eventually, she learns to cope with it

After all, your energy is something that had her fall in love with you to begin with

Still, she would often try to cuddle you

Luckily you get to sleep in the same room, so she usually keeps cuddling reserved for bedtime

Though most nights you stay up later than her, always trying to use up all your energy for the day before turning in for the night

Once you’re ready to sleep, you know she’ll always be there to cuddle each other to sleep

“Silly y/n...you’ve worn yourself out, huh? Come here...let me cuddle you to sleep.”

Usopp:

Honestly...you exhaust him sometimes

You’re more energetic than he is, but he tries to match your energy which leaves him exhausted

It’s nothing against you, he just needs a break sometimes

He likes to play with the others on the crew, but he has his limits

Once he starts getting to exhausted he breaks away for a nap

If you wanted to nap with him...that’d be nice

But he knows you might not be ready to take a nap when he is

He knows chances are, no matter how long his nap is, you’ll be back to playing with the crew when he wakes up

And then starts the whole process again

He likes to fish as well, but oftentimes you have too much energy for it

You like to tell jokes, and Usopp will always laugh at them

“Haha, that was a really good one y/n! Now how do you like THIS one?”

Will swap jokes with you for days

His arsenal of jokes never seems to run out, so you better have a lot prepared

Sanji:

He adores that you’re so energetic

Intelligence doesn’t matter to him, he’ll flirt with any girl so at first you had no idea he had feelings for you

You can be rather oblivious...so you didn’t notice when he stopped flirting with Nami and Robin

They pointed it out to you

That’s when he confessed

He would love if you would help him cook, he thinks it will be a good outlet for your energy

And besides, you both loved spending time with each other

Why not while doing something you both can enjoy?

He can be energetic, but much less so than you or Luffy

Your jokes always make him laugh

“Y/n-swan, that was hilarious! You’re so good at making people laugh. I really enjoy that about you.”

He will pout if he wants to cuddle but you can’t sit still, but he understands you need to get that energy out first

He’ll take up sitting and watching you play on the deck

He won’t participate unless you asked him veeeeery sweetly

When he does play with you guys...he gives it his all

But he always...always lets you win

Chopper:

He plays off your energy...and you play off his

Creating an endless circle of hype

He loves that you’ll play games with him, Usopp, and Luffy

You bond as friends that way

Sometimes you’ll play teams, Luffy always gets Usopp and you have Chopper

It’s an unspoken agreement

Though if you and Chopper win too much...the other two will accuse you of cheating

Somehow

He hops around in excitement when you begin to play

Equally...you hop around seeing him hop around

You always sit next to each other a dinner

While you’re all nakama...you’re his best friend, and he’s yours

While playing hide and seek, you find Chopper first

Always seeming to know where he’ll be

You find him under a gurney in his office, and you find him asleep

Seems like he was really tired after all

You smile and pick him up, taking him to his room

“I’ll always protect you, Chopper.”

He mumbles softly in his sleep “I’ll always protect you...I love you y/n”

“I love you too buddy.”

Robin:

Opposites attract much?

Where you come across as dumb...she radiates an air of intellect

Where you’re always bouncing with energy...she’s calm and collected

She didn’t believe in opposites attract until she met you

You contrast each other well, and she adores getting to see you play with her crew, the people that mean the most to her in the world

You become part of that, becoming someone special to her heart

She knows very early on that she’s developing feelings for you

She’s not only booksmart...but emotionally intelligent as well

It might catch you off guard when she confesses, but when you reply with a smile and affirmation that the feelings were returned she gives you the biggest smile you’ve ever seen on her

She enjoys watching you play with her crew

Though she would never join in, content to watch from the sidelines

She honestly likes that you aren’t knowledgeable about some of her favorite topics

It means she gets to teach it to you

She’ll sit down with you, books in hand

If you expressed not wanting to learn, she wouldn’t push it

However it makes her happy to teach you, even if you are pretty slow to learn

Franky:

Oh boy...oooooh boy

He returns your energy 10 fold

He’ll start by telling you jokes, and you return with your own

Overall some of the jokes are...terrible

But you both laugh until you cry

It’s good to have a connection like yours

He doesn’t care if you’re smart or not, he just enjoys spending time with you

You’ll find him either repairing the ship, or inventing something new

You’re always his tester

“Hey look y/n! I made something new, care to try it out with me?”

It ranges from new weapons for the crew to new games he made on the fly

He loves to spend time with you, it’s always filled with laughter and smiles

Every once in a while you’ll convince him to take a break to play with the crew

He gives it his all, and shows no mercy

Despite the fact that he loves you

It makes you laugh knowing you never have to worry about him holding back

Brook:

He can’t match your energy. He just can’t

He’ll often find himself watching you play while sitting with Nami and Robin

He’ll play music to set the mood when you play, knowing a wide variety of songs

Some are upbeat, some are intense

He’s become your designated mood-setter

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper LOVE this

It makes the games you play even more fun!

He also likes to play you quiet songs to help you fall asleep

He loves that he can express himself to you via music

“Oh y/n, I love watching you play with my own eyes! Ah! I have no eyes! Ahaha.”

He likes to teach you songs on his violin, and doesn’t care if it takes you a while to learn them

He had plenty of time to practice on his old ship, so he knows how much work you need to put in to master a craft

Quite frankly...he lost count of how many hours he spent on that ship

But it was...a lot

Many years he worked

He plans to spend the rest of his undead life with you, so in his eyes he doesn’t mind spending hours upon hours teaching you

It’s something he loves, so he enjoys that he gets to spend time practicing with you

A Special Connection

Luffy and the others were collecting things from the men's room to build the best nest. “Sanji-kun, shall we take this picture too?” Sanji looked at the childhood photo of himself with the shitty geezer and the two idiots. Oh, Baratie… It was really his hometown. “Yes, please Nami-san.” "Ok. Chopper, you want a picture of your Doctorin too, right?" "Yes, Nami." "Good. Then I go to the room and start building the best nest. You guys gather the rest and come quickly.” "Okay, Nami." “Understood, Nami-san.” Luffy and Chopper were putting together blankets and pillows. At that moment, Sanji noticed that Zoro was staring at his swords. “Hey, stupid marimo! You can bring your swords if you want.” “As far as possible, there should be no reminders of danger on the Nest.” “Wow, could you think that much?” “Shut up, curly brows.” "Anyway. But really. We know the value you place on your swords. Aren't they just like our photos?" “I bought Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri in Loguetown. Moreover, it is said that Sandai Kitetsu is cursed. Such a thing has no place near the nest. No need for Yubashiri either, but Wado Ichimonji is from my hometown. So if you all don't mind, I want her with me." “As I just said, she is just like our photos. Come on, put the others in a safe place and come with her. Chopper and Luffy- They're already gone. Come on, we have to help too, right?" “Go ahead. I'm coming right now." Sanji then left the room. Normally, Zoro would leave his swords on the couch while he was sleeping, but this time he wouldn't be able to see them for two days. So he decided to put them in the closet. Then he left the room to help build the nest.

*** “Nami, you should put the blanket a little more like this and the pillows should be more like that. Chopper, it shouldn't be like that but more like this. Sanji, let's hang the photos on the ceiling. Should we put Zoro's sword by the door too?" "Isn't it weird that Luffy orders like that, Chopper?" “Really, but I think the photos should be on the ceiling too. So we can see them from where we sleep.” “Luffy, where should I put this?” “Just like this. Zoro and move the bookshelf a little.” "Is that so?" “No no, a little further to the left.” "Like this?" “That's right, Zoro! To the other side! Don't you want to build the best nest?" "Ha! Of course, I want. If your recipe is bad, is it my fault?" “How bad could it be? I said straight right.” “Don't try, Luffy. That marimo is a hopeless case.” “Did you say something shitty cook?!” “I said you were an idiot, moss head.” "Cut it out, both of you!" They fell silent again when Nami hit them. “I don't want a fight on the nest.” “Hahahaha. Zoro and Sanji are so stupid.” “Shut up Luffy.” “Shut up Luffy.” “Hahaha.”

After about another twenty minutes of building the nest, everyone was satisfied enough. "Finally over." “It is really beautiful, isn't it Nami-san?” "Really." "Yup. Now there is another important issue.” “What is that Luffy?” “What will our bed order be like?” “I and Zoro have to be on the sidelines.” “Oh, why is that witch?” “Because Luffy is our pack leader. So he should be in the center. Chopper is literally a pup. That's why he should be on one of Luffy's sides and Sanji on the other side of Luffy because this is his first nest with us." “But the previous time I was on the sidelines again. Chopper and you were with Luffy." “But you're the head alpha, Zoro. Isn't it your duty to protect us?" “Tsk. Anyway. Does the order Nami said work for you, Luffy?" “I was thinking the same.” “Okay then. When the time for marking comes, we will all be able to spend a special time with you anyway.” “Then this is exactly the order, isn't it, Luffy? Zoro on the left side, Sanji on your left side, you in the middle, me on your right side, and Nami on the right side?” “Yup.” “Oi oi Luffy! Why am I with Marimo?" "Definitely. I and Chopper should be on left and curly brows with the Witch too.” “No. It's better this way.” “Oi!” “Oi!” “Shishishi. Believe me, you will be most pleased with it.” “Luff-“ “I don't want any objections.” "But-" "Objection. I do not want." “Okay, Luffy” Just as they were going to nest, there was a knock on the door. “Luffy can I come in?” “Oh, Robin. Come come." So Robin came in. “We arranged some snacks and water for the night. I thought I'd put it in if you haven't started yet." “Thanks Robin.” "It's okay Luffy." “By the way, Robin, where are you going to sleep? We didn't ask you, but…” “Oh, no problem Nami. We just talked about this with Long Nose-kun. He wanted to observe to protect the ship while you were in the nest. So I'll stay in the men's room while he's observing. Later, we will change shifts.” “Oh okay then.” "OK. Good nest to you.” “Thanks, Robin-chan. If only-" “Don't Sanji.” "Okay." "Goodnight." “Good night Robin."

*** Sanji was nervous. Not only because it was his first nest with them, but also because it was the first nest he shared with others in a long time. Before Baratie, he had only ever been in the nest once. He hadn't built many nests in Baratie either, except for his heats. Zeff had accompanied him for the first few years, but later he said that as a man, he shouldn't be too dependent on people. “Sanji, there is no need to tense up.” "Luffy..." “Shhh. I am here. And Zoro, Chopper, and Nami too. We are all here.” “Luffy…” His eyes started to tear. “Shhh, Sanji.” Luffy wiped Sanji's tears that hadn't flowed yet and kissed him gently on the forehead. Zoro had just stood on the side until then. He noticed that the cook had started to cry when he saw Luffy kissing him. He wanted to calm him down. That's why he hugged him from behind. Sanji was stunned at first, but then he took hold of his arms with his right hand. He grabbed Luffy with his left hand. It really felt good to be in a nest. “Luffy…” ' Chopper whispered. "Yup?" “Is Sanji okay?” “He just got a little emotional. Nothing serious." “Then can I continue to hug you?” “Of course Chopper.”

While Chopper and Luffy make small talk: “This place is safe cook. You can't do wrong here. You are with us.” “Zoro…” “You can say anything you want to say.” “Hold me tighter. Scent me Zoro.” "Before Luffy?" "Before Luffy." "Whatever you want." Zoro hugged him tighter. He buried his head in his neck, making sure that his scent passed to him. Sanji was happy when he felt Zoro's scent on him, though he didn't know why. It's like… It's like… "Thank you." "It does not matter. Get some sleep now. We will be marking in a few hours and it will require energy.” "Ok." So they all decided to sleep until they were ready to mark. Hugging each other tightly.

*** When Zoro awoke, he saw Luffy sitting watching them. “Luffy?” “Shhh, Zoro. Let them sleep a little longer.” “When did you wake up?” “About an hour ago.” "Why is that?" "I was thinking." "What?" “Marking.” “Why?” “I am the pack leader…” "Yup?" “All of you will have my mark. Do I deserve this?" "Luffy-" “I know it's nonsense.” “I would have died if it weren't for you Luffy. Nami would still be Arlong's slave. Chopper still wouldn't be able to trust humans and the cook wouldn't be able to follow his dream." “Hmm…” “This is why no one deserves it more than you, Luffy.” “Zoro-” “Now get some more sleep. I'll get you all up soon. Okay?" "OK. Good night Zoro.” “Good night Luffy.”

*** “Nami. Nami.” “Wh-what?” “Wake up.” “Zoro?” "Wake up." “Is it time?” "Yup." “And you woke me up first?” “Should I wake our pup or our omegas first?” "Oh, I hate that you're right." “Anyway, wake Chopper. I will wake Luffy and the cook.” “Okay. Okay.”

After waking everyone up, they sat in a circle in the middle of the nest. "Luffy are you ready?" "I'm ready if you're ready." Luffy made eye contact with everyone one by one. He realized that they were all ready. “Sanji?” “Yes, Luffy?” “You come first.” "But Luffy I-" “Sanji!” Sanji nodded without saying anything at that and leaned closer to Luffy. Luffy gave him a tight hug and scented him so intensely. “Luffy…” “Relax Sanji.” After their hug was over, Luffy grabbed Sanji's right wrist. He pulled off his sleeve a little. “Now completely relax. It'll make your head spin for a while." "Okay." After Sanji and Luffy's markings were finished, Sanji stepped back so the others could take his place. Chopper was looking at all this with fascinated eyes. So Sanji took him in his arms and wrapped him in his scent, both Zoro's and Luffy's. “Let's watch the others together, shall we, Chopper?” Chopper nodded and settled himself into Sanji's lap. “I'm next.” “No, I am, Zoro. Priority to women.” “Bullshit. How are you different from me?" “You brute ox.” "Ha!!" "I won't mark either of you if the two of you continue to argue." Both of them were shocked at Luffy's words. "Okay okay. Let's play rock paper scissors. The winner is next.” "Agreed witch." Unsurprisingly, it was Nami who won. “Shit.” “Zoro, you can wait a little longer for me, right?” Zoro made eye contact with his captain and finally nodded to him with a sigh. "Beautiful. Nami, come here.” Nami then approached her captain and sat on his lap and hugged him. Luffy gripped her tightly. Their scents were mixed. Nami placed a small kiss on the captain's cheeks. "I'm ready Luffy." “Alright.” Luffy rolled up the left sleeve of her pajamas. He kissed the place he was going to mark first and waited for confirmation one last time. Nami's eyes told him to continue, and he gently brought her wrist closer to him and bit it. The feeling of being marked was more intense than Nami had expected. Unlike Sanji, she leaned against Luffy and kissed his hair as if to thank him. Her head was spinning, but it wasn't unbearable. On the contrary, she even felt happy. When Luffy was done, he looked at her mark. It was beautiful. She was his. Like Sanji, Nami was his now. He could always feel her forever. She could feel it too. His pack. “Are you okay Nami?” “Yes, Luffy.” "I'm happy then." “You know Luffy?” "What?" “The weirdest thing about Pack is that we only have your mark, but I can even feel Sanji-kun over this mark right now. I can feel his presence.” "It really is strange." “Nice oddity.” "Yup." "Now it's Zoro's turn. He's waited long enough. I can smell him very clearly from here.” “Shut up witch.” When Nami backed off, Zoro wasted no time in taking her place, but he took Luffy in his arms. He showed him his right wrist as if to say I can't wait any longer. Receiving the signal, Luffy bit him without hesitation. Zoro… his first crewmate. His first companion. Now the head alpha. This smark would make everything perfect. Zoro hugged Luffy and inhaled his scent, risking giving in to his feelings. Luffy smelled so good. Besides, he had the scent of others. their pack. His home… his family… When Luffy finished Zoro's marking, he kissed the mark. “Thanks, Luffy.” “I thank you, Zoro.” “Then Chopper!” “Yes, Nami?” “Luffy, where is the pen you bought?” "Wait, I'll get it right away." Luffy quickly got up and took the pen. “Sanji-kun open your arm towards me. Let me see the mark well. Chopper, come here and don't move. Let's draw your mark too." “Hurray! Thanks, Nami.” “What thanks? You're also a pack member." Chopper looked at her with teary eyes. Nami replied with a smile and started drawing immediately. She drew the mark down to the smallest detail on Chopper's right wrist. "Finished. Did you like it?" “Nami…” "Is there any problem?" Chopper shook his head no. “No, this is beautiful. Thank you." “Wow. So we are all connected now. Let's sleep now. I'm tired." As soon as their captain said, he instantly fell asleep. Marking three times must have been tiring, of course. The others, laughing, lay down beside their captain. They are now a complete pack. They could sleep peacefully.

The Voyage So Far: Enies Lobby

east blue (1 | 2) || alabasta (1 | 2) || skypiea || water 7 || enies lobby || thriller bark || paramount war (1 | 2) || fishman island || punk hazard || dressrosa (1 | 2) || whole cake island || wano (1 | 2)

this is still one of my very favorite nami panels. i think she’s really great through all of water 7 and enies lobby in general, actually, even though she isn’t really one of the characters in focus for a lot of it- like zoro and sanji, she stays pretty steadfast and very badass even though everything that happens, and never gives up on robin for a moment despite being one of the ‘weaker’ members of the crew. and it’s always fun to see her playing with lightning.

one of my favorite jokes from the first half or so of enies lobby is the strawhats both being completely unsurprised that luffy charges in ahead of them as soon as they arrive AND being able to find him immediately by following the explosions. they know him so well.

luffy’s never been scared of dying, going all the way back to when he told coby he was fine with dying for his dream back in chapter two or three. that conversation is what his exchange with blueno here reminds me of- blueno asks him how long he intends to keep fighting, and luffy says until he dies, like there’s nothing to it.

it’s always been a trait of his to face death unflinching with a grin, so long as it’s for the sake of something he cares about, be it his crew or his brother or his dream, and i just really like that about him.

i’ll go into it in the dressrosa post too, but i think it’s really impressive just how long oda held off on giving luffy any sort of significant power-up. he gets his first big power boost in the whole series here, forty volumes in. i’ve always liked that oda is very conservative with power boosts like this, because it both keeps the series’ powerscaling in check and makes the times it does happen much weightier. this is a monumental moment, and it feels like it.

also, i love the way gear two is drawn pre-timeskip, especially with the steam. it looks very cool and atmospheric.

i really like how united the strawhat crew feels throughout enies lobby, after all the internal turmoil and discord of water seven. even though the matter of usopp leaving the crew is still unresolved, they’ll all together once more, on the same page, and fully united in the goal of saving robin, whatever consequences it might bring.

the tree of knowledge has such a cool design- it looks massive, and even more than that, it looks old. you look at that tree and you know its been there for easily thousands of years. its seen entire eras of history, and it would be priceless even without the countless books stored inside it.

and then it burns.

i’m so endlessly sad about the tragedy that is robin’s relationship with her mother. they never even got to see each other until their world was ending, and even then only for a couple minutes.

olvia is a very interesting character, because she’s someone who chose her dream over the people she loved. that’s not an inherently good or bad choice, but it is a choice she made, and it’s what led to the ending she and robin had to have. i’ve wondered a lot what might have happened if she chose the other way, if she never left or if she came back sooner or if she chose to flee the buster call with robin, and how different (and almost certainly better) robin’s life would have been if she had.

in a way, olvia reminds me a lot of kouzuki toki. they both die in order to fling a light of knowledge and hope into the future, and they both send their children away and choose to stay behind to choke on ash for the sake of a better tomorrow.

i didn’t really notice until putting these panels together, but a lot of things burn in enies lobby. ohara burns, and the pluton plans and the world government flag, and enies lobby itself, and at the end, the going merry burns, too. if you extend it back to water seven, there’s the galley-la headquarters, too. in an arc that deals so much with the preservation and destruction of history and knowledge, it’s a fitting motif.

the world government flag burning is still to this day one of the most striking panels out of a series full of them, in my opinion. in one act, the strawhats proclaim their absolute defiance against the world government, and their willingness to make enemies of the greatest power in the world for the sake of their friend.

it’s also another one of those moments that’s interesting to think about in the context of luffy’s past. it was a ship flying that same flag that shot sabo down, and while luffy wasn’t there to see it, i don’t think he’s oblivious to that fact, especially given how he says just before this he understands robin’s enemies perfectly.

dadan told him and ace that there was nothing they could do against the whole world, and luffy went and did it anyways.

sometimes i just think about how scary it must have been for robin, someone who’s been weighed down by the shackles of her past with no escape in sight for so very long, to open herself up and let herself hope, for life and freedom and a dream that’s always been out of reach.

franky has a lot of really great moments between this arc and water seven- his conversation with usopp as usopp is working on merry and his talk with robin on the sea train are two others. it’s almost impressive how quickly he becomes an immensely likable character once we start getting to know him, given how he’s first introduced as an absolute piece of shit.

his burning of the pluton plans is a favorite of mine, and i think it might be because, like so many people before and after him, he’s choosing here to stake all his hopes on the strawhats, on luffy’s ability to pull off the impossible and on robin’s goodness. when robin’s only ever been chased and hated and called a demon by the world, franky chooses to trust her and luffy with the legacy his dad died for, and neither of them let him down.

monster point looks SO FUCKING TERRIFYING in enies lobby, and i LOVE it. look at that. franky is seven and half feet tall, and in front of monster point he’s tiny. monster point is huge, and dead-eyed, and a force of absolute destruction. i do kind of wish we got to see chopper go completely feral like this more often. he deserves to be terrifying!

i love how much FAITH all the rest of the strawhats continue to have in usopp throughout enies lobby. he left the crew and they really would have a right to be angry at him if they chose to, but it doesn’t even seem to cross any of their minds. they’re just happy he’s okay, and they include him again without missing a beat, because he’s still their friend and they know down to their bones they can trust him, even after everything.

i’ve always really loved zoro and kaku’s little moment of post-battle banter here- zoro relays paulie’s message about cp9 being fired, kaku says he’s out of a job, zoro tells him to try the zoo, and kaku cracks up.

it feels very real to me for whatever reason, and i think part of it ties back into how well one piece handles morality with its characters- zoro and kaku are genuinely pretty similar people who get along decently, it just happens that they wound up on opposite sides. there are series where you’d never see moments like this due to the lines between good and bad being so firmly drawn, and i love how one piece blurs those lines so much they may as well not exist a lot of the time.

this is the other sequence, along with luffy climbing the drum rockies barehanded, that always makes me physically cringe to look at. it looks so painful. robin is so nearly powerless here, but not quite- she can still buy time for her crew to catch up, even if it’s only seconds, even if she risks shattering her teeth or even her jaw in the process. she’s spent so long giving up and has only just started daring to hope- she’s not about to go gentle.

there aren’t many panels that give me catharsis like this one. there really aren’t.

oda’s villains are usually complicated and awful and often a little admirable, if only for how clever or how terrifyingly powerful they are, but every now and then he comes up with someone who’s just pathetic and cowardly and pointlessly cruel. spandam is like this, obviously, and so is orochi, and the celestial dragons, and i’d argue flampe from whole cake island as well. and there’s nothing like seeing characters like them- weak, cruel people so assured in their own power and rightness- get obliterated.

one of the things i really like about enies lobby is that nobody really gets sidelined- everybody gets multiple chances to shine. luffy, usopp, and obviously robin are the most in focus, obviously, but zoro, sanji, nami, chopper, and even franky all get a bunch of individual awesome moments. oda’s ability to handle his cast satisfyingly is consistently really impressive (if sometimes strained in huge ensemble arcs like dressrosa or wano) and it really shows here, i think.

i just really love the entire climax of enies lobby. much like the arc as a whole, it just feels triumphant, even though the situation is extremely dire. luffy unlocking gear three, robin’s cuffs getting unlocked, usopp shooting spandam and the marines all the way from the tower of justice- it’s all just good, a long chain of much-needed victories and catharses, and it feels very good to read.

i’ll always be impressed by just how much characterization oda manages to give merry, a boat. she’s only really a character in water seven and the end of enies lobby, only about two chapters of which she actually speaks in. and yet i don’t think you’d find a single one piece fan who disagrees that merry’s death is easily one of the most heartwrenching in the entire series.

i love the reactions of the strawhats to robin’s thanks. they’ve just gone through hell to save her, most of them are beat to shit and they all risked their lives, and yet they all just smile, or brush it off, because to them there’s nothing else they could have done. it’s all worth it, so long as they got her back, so long as she’s safe and happy.

merry’s funeral just hits me in the chest every single time i read it. it’s tragic, of course, but there’s also something almost lovely about it, something peaceful about her getting to go out on her own terms, carrying her crew to safety one last time, defying every rule of the universe to do it. just like a strawhat pirate.

oda’s ability to communicate emotion through expressions really comes through here, too. merry has the only lines in this scene, fitting for her death in the limelight, but the shots of every other crewmate’s face let us know at a glance just what they’re all feeling and just how strongly they’re feeling it.

you know, i’d forgotten we only learn the name of the new world after enies lobby. we only get proper exposition about the revolutionary army and the yonkou here, too, despite them being set up since loguetown and jaya (or alabasta, or even chapter one if you count from shanks’s introduction) respectively. oda’s ability to parse out exposition and explanation so we always have just the right amount of information is really impressive- we always have more questions, but we also always have the feeling that those questions have answers, and that sooner or later they’ll be revealed.

points at shanks. i just think he’s neat.

it’s my opinion that one of the great joys of one piece is seeing luffy and the crew rise up in the world, and seeing them gain more and more notoriety. i love nothing they do ever happens in a vacuum- everything has impacts, and there are always outside eyes watching, and often those impacts are things that they never could have predicted.

ace and blackbeard is still, i think, definitely one of the coolest looking fights in the whole series. it’s not all that often we get to see two people with extremely flashy and showy abilities go all-out against each other, and the resulting fireworks are still really something to behold, despite how badly it all ends.

Aight aight, here I am HAHA so I have this litol prompt that I've been wanting for someone to write it out 👉👈 it's totally your choice with how you want it to be, whether fluff or angst or whatever HAHA feel free to do what you want, but as always it's a prompt for Zoro! "Roronoa Zoro, the man who not even death could bring fear to, has found the one thing he feared the most: losing you." Really excited to see how you would write it out 💖 feel free to fix the grammar HAHAHA all the best 💖

Zoro Being Afraid to Lose Someone

a/n : this was so cute 🥺💚 I hope you like this! :))

ngl, particularly somewhat proud of this one- 😊👉🏼👈🏼

summary : In the midst of battle, Zoro sees you sacrificing yourself and his heart breaks, coming to a realization and soon lectures you afterwards. not good with summaries-

“How could you be so reckless?!”

Choosing to remain silent, you just take in all of his shouts and pent up frustration built because of you. You couldn’t blame him either.

Did you regret it though? Not for a damn second.

You would do it again in a heartbeat, and unfortunately, Zoro knew that too.

“I’m fine. I’m alive, right?”

Your nonchalant tone seemed to irritate Zoro further as you only thought back to the cause of you being hospitalized in the first place.

“These guys are starting to piss me off.”

Growling under his breath, Zoro swung his sword with his right hand once more with ease, before running down the street in hopes to lose the growing crowd of marines behind him.

“Zoro!” Hearing a voice, Zoro snaps his head to the right and sees you running towards him in shock. “What the hell is going on? How’d you attract the marines?! Where have you been?”

“I’ll explain later, just run!” Zoro shouts, grabbing your hand in his and picked up his pace, hearing the angry yells and protests of the marines.

“Oi! Get back here, pirate!”

“Look, there’s another one!”

“You’re not getting away from us!”

“Tch.” Zoro turns the corner when a few of the marines were rushing towards them from the front.

“Oi, Zoro, let’s get the others, they’re still in town.” You call, managing to catch up with him and match his pace.

“Who cares, they’ll find out that we’re caught soon enough, so let’s just keep going.” Zoro says, swinging his sword once more, successfully knocking back a wave of soldiers heading their way.

“Alright!” You nod as you pulled out their own weapon and succeeded in knocking out a few more.

However, you were soon trapped by the coast of the island, having no where to run since the marines were quickly surrounding you.

“Give it up, pirates, surrender!”

“We have you cornered now!”

Smirking, Zoro scoffs and pulls out his Wado Ichimonji and brought it up to his mouth. Clenching his teeth onto it, his hands gripped his other two swords tightly.

Bringing the hilts of his two swords in his hands together, he began spinning them.

“Three-Sword Style...”

You stepped back to allow Zoro to attack and just focused on taking out the others on the sidelines.

“Three-Thousand Worlds!”

Almost instantly, the cries of agony and pain was heard loud and clear from the marines as they all dropped to the ground, sword cuts all over their bodies.

However, after Zoro was successful in his attack, a few other marines thought it was best to attack from behind him, making you widen your eyes.

“Zoro!” You call out, kicking the marine in front of you to the ground as you jumped over towards him.

Zoro had observation haki. He already knew what those marines were going to do.

But he couldn’t have known you were going to jump in to protect him. It was already too late before he could stop himself.

An ear-piercing, shrill scream of pain filled the air. But it wasn’t from the marines. It was from you.

His eyes widened and his pupils shrank at the sight of you dropping to your knees. A long gash spread across your back and blood was dripping everywhere.

“[NAME]!”

He didn’t know how to react, as he quickly took the sword from his mouth and knelt down beside you, picking you up in his arms.

“[Name]! Hey! What the hell were you doing?!”

He was just shouting at you now, panic and worry filling his body and voice as he grips you tightly, shaking you a bit. “Hey, stay with me, damn it! Why did you do that?! What kind of idiot are you?!”

He could only insult you now, not knowing what else to do. The marines were nearing him now, but fortunately, the crew had shown up just in time.

“Zoro! [Name]!”

You weakly brought your hand up and grabbed onto his shirt, breathing shallow as you tried to ignore the burning pain forming from you trying to say awake.

“Z-Zoro.. I’m fine... are you.. okay?..”

“You stupid woman! Don’t talk! Chopper, where the hell are you?!”

He stood up with you in his arms, his clothes soaking up in your blood as Franky, Brook, Luffy and Robin took care of the marines.

“[NAME]!” Chopper shrieks in shock and panic, seeing the sight of your body and injuries as he ran over.

“What happened?!” Nami shouts, but Zoro ignored her.

“No time, let’s just get back to the ship and get her fixed up already!”

“R-Right!”

And then, you lost consciousness.

Looking down, Zoro clenches his jaw and struggled to even think properly, straining to keep calm.

He wasn’t about to fucking lose you.

Zoro couldn’t believe it.

Staring over at your unconscious body, he felt mixed emotions running through him.

Regret, worry, anger and most of all, confusion.

Sure, he was always worried for his crewmates when they were in danger, even swirly brows, but they could handle themselves.

He knew they were strong, just like you.

So why was it different now that it was you especially, the one who was hurt? Who was in pain and unconscious with fatal injuries?

Was it because he’s the one who did it? He was the cause of it?

Or was it because you were different?... because he felt something else when he’s with you?

Was he in love with you?

Exhaling heavily, he closed his eye and leaned his head back against the wall.

All he knew right now, was that he just wanted you to wake up. To be able to see your smile once more and relieve all of his stress.

He didn’t want to lose you. He couldn’t lose you.

You were his life and without you, he was as good as a dead. He didn’t feel complete without knowing that you were alive and well.

He could only hope. But even then, he was losing it.

It was nearly a week and a half before you finally woke up, pain spreading all over your body.

Everyone was sobbing when they found out and lunged at you which only caused more pain.

Fortunately, Chopper gave you some medicine to help subside the pain for a bit and forbid anyone to come in unless it was important.

However, Zoro was an exception, and now here he was, lecturing you.

“You know, I don’t regret what I did.” You state, turning away from him and let out a sigh.

“Of course you don’t, but what if something happened? What if Chopper couldn’t save you on time?”

Hearing how angry he was made you frown. You weren’t sure how you felt.

“You were being attacked, I wasn’t going to let you be hurt.” You defended but he scowls more. “So you were willing to sacrifice your own life over mine?”

“Of course.” You responded with no hesitation, nearly startling him but he remained stoic.

“Your life isn’t something to throw away so easily, you know.” He scoffs, shaking his head at you. “And what about you?” You retorted, raising a brow.

“I already gave up my life when I made my dream to become the world’s greatest swordsman a goal to accomplish.” He states, crossing his arms and you roll your eyes a bit.

“Look, Zoro, you’re overreacting, okay? I’m fine, I’m awake now and—“

“You dumbass, what if I fucking lost you?”

Your eyes widen at his words, his tone softening just in the slightest bit, as he scowls and turns away.

But you didn’t miss the hurt and pained look behind his eyes.

“..I don’t think I could live with myself if I found out you died... Because of me, no less.” He continues, looking down as a shadow casted over his face.

“How can I even dream of being the world’s greatest swordsman, if I can’t even handle a small cut, having someone else I care about take it for me..”

“I don’t deserve to be part of the future pirate king’s crew, much less his first mate, If I can’t protect my crewmates.” He utters out, clenching his fists tightly.

Staring at him and watching him carefully, you feel your heart warming and chest beating quickly. A faint blush washed over your cheeks as you smile slightly.

“Roronoa Zoro..”

Zoro looks up questioningly when you said his name, seeing your smile towards him.

“The man, who not even death can fear him, has finally found what feared him most. Losing someone so dear to him.” You couldn’t help but tease him.

Zoro’s felt his cheeks turning pink at your words as he scoffs. “So you have the strength to start making fun of me now?”

“I’m not making fun of you.” You defended, giggles erupting from your lips as you shifted and sat up more, making yourself comfortable.

“I just think it’s cute is all.” You shrug playfully, a cute grin displaying across your lips as Zoro simply clicks his tongue.

“Honestly.. you’re such a pain.”

He scratches the back of his head, closing his eye as he makes his way towards you bed and sits down beside you, crossing his arms.

“Besides, it’s an honor to be that special someone you care about.” You laugh softly once more.

He rolls his eyes and made himself comfortable, ignoring your comment.

“Well, now that you’re awake, I’ll sit here and guard you. Make sure you aren’t moving with your injuries.” He firmly states, leaning against the headboard as he shifted to make himself comfortable and relaxed.

“Oi, I don’t need a babysitter, get out. But get me some food.” You hum, nudging his side and beginning to push him but he didn’t budge.

Instead he just spoke.

“Promise me.”

“Huh?”

Stopping your actions, you look confusedly towards the swordsman.

Zoro tilts his head to face you and opens his eye, his tone serious and low.

“Promise you won’t ever put yourself in danger again. Especially not when I’m around, you hear? Even if I die, I’ll protect you with my life, I don’t want you doing the same.”

Frowning, you went to protest but he simply moves his arm and wraps it around your side, forcefully pulling you into his chest.

“..please.. I don’t want to lose you.” He whispers quietly, his voice softening once more.

His hand went up to rest on your head as he discreetly leans his chin on the top of it.

Then he slowly leans down further and pecks the top of your head, making your heart melt at how soft and vulnerable he was being at this moment.

Closing your eyes, you nod gently and reach to grab his hand, intertwining it with yours and gripped it tightly.

“I promise, Zoro..”

Satisfied with your reply, Zoro nods approvingly. “Good. Now sleep.” He tightens his hold around you and leans back, closing his eye again.

“W-wait, but I’m hungry!”

a/n : AHHHH THIS WAS SO CUTE ACTUALLY OMG I hope you enjoyed!! 💚🥰

Sorry if it seems a bit rushed— ;-;

1. Coming In Loud, Going Out Quiet

Prologue | Next Chapter

Series Masterlist | Main Masterlist

Word Count: 1.6k

Warnings: Swearing, Slight hint at assault

Tomorrow had come, and I was early. Wanted to get my senses right before meeting Steve. So, I started with the shitty work coffee and sat in our office, looking through paperwork.

"Bell.", I hear my nickname for the only person who calls me that, making me look up. Javi, with whom I assume is Steve, walks in. I walk up to them, "Murphy, this is Anabella Morris. Bell, this is Steve Murphy.", Javi says as me and Murphy shake hands. "Been expecting you." I say then fix my skirt some. I hated these damn things but, was the only classy thing clean today. "I'm showing Murphy around so tag along. We are heading to the ambassador's office after", Javi says tapping my shoulder and I nod and follow along with Murphy. After showing him the Mil group with Javi pissing one of them off, making me smirk and shake my head, We were finally in the ambassador's office. Javi told me it was about the info he got. He needed access to M-19 files. "Why do you need this intel? ", the ambassador asks. "There's an unusual number of prostitutes headed to Medellín this weekend.", oh boy, here's the info, "Every high-end girl in Bogotá. First class airfare, five-star hotels. The Narcos are having a meeting and then a party.", Javi says and damn, good info. "What does the M-19 have to do with this?", oh yeah, why?, "Somebody kidnapped Marta Ochoa. Intel suggests it was M-19. I need access to the M-19 files to confirm.", Javi says and I raise an eyebrow at him then look at the ambassador. "If I find out one single dollar of American taxpayer money went to any of those hookers, it'll be your ass.", Mrs. Ambassador says and try not to laugh. Because, knowing Javi, of course he paid too. And, not only with money. "OK, thank you. One last thing, Ambassador." "Yes, Agent Peña?" "I'm filing a visa request for my informant. I need your signature.", Javi says and I look back at him. Ah, Helena wants to leave. Don't really blame her. "You're bothering me.", the Ambassador says and I scoff trying not to laugh. And, we are dismissed and walk out. "She sure likes you. Is your informant really a prostitute?", Steve asks and I smirk at him then Javi "Everybody works for somebody.", Javi says and I chuckle, shaking my head as we continue walking. I am behind the men, as a woman walks by Javi tries looking back at her and I just playfully turn his head back. And he gives me the "Really?" look of disappointment and I smile innocently with a shrug.

The next day we were in a chopper to Medellín. We were meeting up with Major Carrillo. We got to the base of operations, and greeted Carrillo. Javi and Carrillo were speaking to each other in Spanish, but I understood. Carrillo said the intel was good and that the Narcos were in fact meeting. "Ana.", Carrillo says to me and we shake hands. Then, he looks at Murphy. "I want you to meet our new DEA, Steve Murphy.", Javi says to Carrillo. "carne fresca." Fresh Meat. I smirk at Carrillo and nudge him.

We were in a hotel room getting shots of each of the Narcos that were arriving at the Hotel La Margaritas. Steve takes the photos, while me, Javier, and Carrillo look out observing. Carlos Lahder, The Ochoa Brothers, "Wolfman" Fernando Galeano, then, "Is that Gacha?", Javi says, making me look more to the entrance. "I've never seen him with other traffickers." "Probably because he never works well with others I've heard.", I say to Javi and Carrillo. And then, the man of the hour. Pablo Escobar with his cousin Gustavo. "There he is. Mr. Robin Hood himself.", I say and I hear Javi chuckle some to my left behind me, and nudges me, making me look up from my squatting position. He is smirking and we both look back out the window. "Get pictures of that fucker.", Carrillo says to Murphy.

It was hours after the hotel and we were waiting for Helena, Javi's informant. I sigh softly from the hood of the car I was sitting on. Sure, I don't fully trust the informants a lot. But It doesn't mean I want people to get hurt. Helena was late. And I was actually getting worried. Javi was already there with his pacing. "She should be here by now.", Javi says, turning back to us. "Think she slipped?", Murphy asks. "No, she's no dummy.", Javi says and I do believe him. Hell, being a call girl or whatever you call yourself and dealing with those kinds of men even if you aren't working with cops...it's scary. Carrillo sighs, making me look at him. "Maybe she's getting pretty for you." I sigh and turn my head away. "Yeah.", I hear Javi and I slide off the hood and walk to the side of the car, leaning on it. I hear Carrillo check in with his people if they saw Helena. My head just wonders. "They're telling me that the girl left a long time ago.", Carrillo says, making me look over. "She's already dead." "No, they wouldn't kill her at the hotel.", Javi is right, god I didn't wanna think about it tho. "Then, they killed her somewhere else. She knew the risks.", Carrillo says and I close my eyes. Helena I hope you're okay. "If we go back, we go back now.", Murphy says and I see Javi nod. Then, he walks to Carrillo, "Quiero que la encuentres." I want you to find her "Puedo comprar un sicario. Te parece bien?" I can pick up a sicario. You ok with that? "Me voy." I'm going "yo también" Me too. I cut into Javi and Carrillo's conversation. Javi looks at me but I look back with a ‘Don’t even try’ look "¿Qué hay de Carne Fresca?" What about Fresh Meat? "Gonna stick around here and see if she shows up, OK?", Javi answers and points at Murphy and I tap his back going around and follow Javi and Carrillo. "Yeah? And where are you going?" "Going to go look for her.", Javi answers Murphy and we leave.

We picked up a sicario, and tried getting information on where Helena could be. All we got were snot smartass remarks and the sic flirting with me. And, Carrillo didn't like that one bit. We didn't either. I might have gotten a punch in for him even trying with me. I walked back to Javi and saw him smirk, “Nice punch.” “Thank you.”, I responded to Javi and the Sic still wasn’t talking. So, Carrillo brought out the bag, suffocating the Sic. I stood by Javi and watched. Carrillo then gave his guy the okay and took the bag back off. Pulling his head up by his hair. "¿Dónde está la hembra, huevón?" Where is the girl asshole? "No lo sé" I don't know. Carrillo then shoves his head, "Ahóguelo" Choke Him. And Carrillo's guy got back putting the bag over his head. Then, he told us where. And we rushed to the car... after Carrillo's guy shot him in the head.

We got to the place and made our way in quietly. Carrillo's guys take out the guards first. And then, we went loud as we got upstairs, shooting any guy who got in our way. We walked in and I saw Javi shoot someone to his side, as I am behind him, I fully walk in...and there she is. "Helena", I hear Javi as he covers her up with his vest. She has cuts all over her...and I can't imagine what else was done. I sigh and look down as I put my arms down. Damn it. Javi picks Helena up and walks out past me, and I look at him until I can't see him anymore. More than one of us are definitely not okay tonight.

Javi carried Helena out and after a while of waiting the ambulance and cops arrived. I spoke to Helena while we were waiting, telling her it's gonna be okay in Spanish. And, when they took her away, I couldn't move. I just sat where I was. Then, Javi and Carrillo came back to where I was as we waited for Murphy. "Bell.", I hear Javi making me look up. "You okay?" I nod slowly, "Yeah.", I say then looking back down. "How is she?", I hear Murphy, but don’t move. "Sedated.", Javi says after taking a drag of his cigarette. "Is she gonna be ok?" "Physically, yeah. Mentally, I haven't got a fucking clue.", Javi answers and I take a breath and stretch, looking to them. "You left me behind on purpose." "Look-" "If we are gonna be partners, I don't get left behind.", Steve says and I look back. He is looking in-between me and Javi. "I didn't come all the way down here Peña to sit on the fucking sidelines. Whatever is going on here, I'm in all the way. Is that understood?", Steve says staring at Javi. I nod to him. "Understood.", Javi answers. "I hope you know what that means.", Javi says as he hands Murphy a beer and then one to me.

A day later, me and Murphy were looking at the pin board, our layout of the cartel we set up. Leading up to Pablo. I see a figure coming in from my side vision making me look, Javi walks in staring at the board. "Welcome to the Medellín Cartel.", Murphy says, making me smirk at Javi. He smirks back and walks in, marking out some of the people. We look at each other and then back to the board. This was just the beginning of something big.

SEAL Team Whumptober 7/31 -Ray

No 7. I’VE GOT YOU Support | Carrying | Enemy to Caretaker

_______________________

Way back in almost forgotten history...

He wasn’t used to being the new guy. It was a few years since he had gone through basic, he had been picked for a team and then only a couple of months later there was another new guy.

And then he joined one of the green teams. Then EVERYONE was the new guy, which made none of them the new guy.

Then finally he qualified as a tier one operator. -And now he was definitely the new guy.

He was 28, with a chip on his shoulder and everything to prove. The older guys seemed so settled. Well, maybe except Sonny, but that guy seemed like he enjoyed being a loose cannon. And the others accepted him for it.

It was a pretty young team. They really just had two age groups in the team. It was those near their early thirties, and those near their late thirties. Their leader Adam wasn’t the oldest, but he was the most put together of them. Jason, the second in command was the oldest, then came the guy they all just called Full Metal and then Trent. And then a short decade younger was Sonny then Ray.

* * *

He thought it was him against the world, most of the time. Maybe even all of the time. He knew the rest of the team was just that, a team, a damn good one for that matter.

But he was the new guy. The odd one out. And in addition he was the photo-negative of all the others.

He was deep in thought when something suddenly struck his left leg, then he heard the rattling.

“FUCK!” he jumped aside, but it was too late. His leg was already starting to burn, “FUCK! IT BIT ME!”

“What?” Sonny asked as he turned around, but jumped about as high as he was tall when he saw the coiled up rattler on the ground. “HOLY FU-… Those are bad motherfuckers…”

“It bit you?” Metal asked as he stepped closer to Ray, “Where?”

Ray was already pressing a hand down a few inches above the bite, he didn’t dare to place his hand directly over it in fear that it would hurt worse.

“Where?”

“Middle of the side of my calf…” he winced, “Ow, it burns…”

Trent had also stepped closer, but he kept an eye on the snake the entire time.

“Okay, sit down on that rock over there.” Metal pointed with one hand and pulled Sonny closer so the young man could support Ray as they made their way over. “Trent, rinse it and wrap it? That’s the correct protocol, right?”

Trent nodded, “Sure is.”

Then Metal turned around to face the snake, got his handgun out and shot the bastard. “Don’t go near it, it can still strike even though it’s dead.”

“WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING OVER THERE?” Adam frowned as he looked back at his team, oblivious to the dramatic turn of events.

“Kid got bitten by a rattler.” Full Metal informed before he spit in the direction of the venomous snake, “Figured I’d blow this training mission in order to get some justice for him.”

“What?” Adam’s eyes went wide and he looked towards where Trent was helping Ray with the bite, “Did you get bit, Ray?”

“Yeah.” The answer was thin, and didn’t sound much like the young man.

“Can we call in medevac?” Trent asked glancing over his shoulder at Adam.

“No choppers in the area.” Adam shook his head, “And I don’t think there are vehicles made for this terrain ready either… I’ll give it a shot though.”

“Thanks.” Trent nodded and returned his focus to Ray, “How are you feeling?”

Ray shrugged, “Jittery.”

“Like your heart is beating out of your chest?”

“Getting there…”

“Anything else?” Trent asked as he poured some water over the bite, “Are you feeling faint? Is your vision starting to blur? Is it hard to breathe? Are you feeling nauseous? Numb? Thirsty?”

“A little dizzy.”

“Anything else?”

“Blurry.”

“Your vision is blurry?”

“A little.”

Trent let Ray’s leg air-dry before he found a sterile ace-wrap and started wrapping Ray’s leg. Not too tight.

“How about now?”

“Blurry, yes. My heart’s beating fast.” Ray nodded, “Feel like I’m gonna pass out if I jog a hundred yards.”

“Good thing you’re not going to do that then…” Metal said as he knelt down beside Ray, “You shouldn’t even walk.”

“How the hell are we going to make that happen?” Sonny asked a few feet away, “It’s not like we brought a damn stretcher. And all we’ve got around here are damn cacti!”

“We’ll figure something out.” Metal said as he looked up at the Texan.

“My chest is feeling a little tight…” Ray mumbled.

“Like it’s hard to breathe?” Trent asked, looking up with concerned eyes.

“Just a little.” Ray nodded.

“Okay, definitely no walking.” Metal cut through.

Trent nodded, “Tell me if it gets any worse, alright?”

Ray nodded.

* * *

A few minutes later, Adam told them that there was no medevac able to get to them, but that they would get a van which would meet them on a road a few clicks away.

“Alright kid, drop your backpack… Jase is gonna take that for you.” Metal said, his left hand resting on Ray’s upper arm, “Okay?”

“I’m having a hard time focusing…”

“That’s alright…” Metal nodded, “Just take your backpack off.”

Ray nodded a little, and started unbuckling it.

“Okay, good.” Metal smiled, hoping that it would be encouraging, “Now, you’ll probably not be the biggest fan of this next part of this, but it’s really important that you don’t strain yourself now. Understood?”

“Hard time focusing…” Ray repeated holding up a hand, “Kinda nauseous as well.”

“Okay, thanks for the information…” Metal nodded and gave Ray a good pat on the shoulder, “How is it to breathe?”

“Easier.”

“That’s good.” Trent shot in.

“We need to get going…” Full Metal sighed, he had already slipped one arm behind Ray’s back and was about to slip his other arm under Ray’s knees, “Sorry for this…”

“Sorry for wha-” Ray didn’t get to finish his sentence before he was in the arms of the tallest team member. “Put me down, I can walk!”

“No. You can’t!” Trent shot in from the sideline, “You need to move as little as possible.”

“What he said…” Full Metal shrugged with Ray in his arms, then they all started walking towards where they were supposed to meet the van which would transport Ray out of there.

They hadn’t even gotten 80 yards away from where they had started before Ray dosed off in Full Metal’s arms.

Metal picked up his pace a little, but not more than he knew he could handle for the distance left, “I’ve got you, kid…”

At the tail end of the group, Sonny walked. Making sure to glance at every crevasse and shadow in case another coldblooded creature hid there.

“Snakes, man…” He frowned and shuddered at the same time, “Worse than sharks.”

Little Bits and Pieces of Heaven

FEAST YOUR EYES

One-shot #: 19

Disclaimer: One Piece (and its characters) belongs to Eiichiro Oda-sensei.

Reminder: I have no beta-reader. Any grammatical and spelling errors are solely mine.

Warning:OOC possible. One shot. PWP.

Rating:M (Just implications and some words)

Note: So this is inspired by the Kingdom dance in Tangled, a Nami line in One Piece Treasure Cruise and the fact that I want to slash a prompt from the drabble list. Prompt #88: “Come here” done. And if you want an idea on how bouncy the jig Brook’s playing, play the one from Titanic (the third class party).

Summary: “Have you done enough feasting swordsman?”

The celebration was already in full swing.

Some of the townsfolk started dancing underneath the brightly illuminated town square as Brook began playing a jig with a borrowed fiddle.

It didn’t take long for the other citizens to join the musician with their own instruments.

Usopp—who was standing on a makeshift stage—leapt down and ran towards the throng of dancers, shouting gleefully at his crew mates to join the fun.

With a loud and cheerful yell, Luffy bounded towards the dancers with a chunk of meat in one hand and Chopper on the other.

As if on cue, everyone was now pulling random bystanders and inviting people off the wooden benches and feasting tables to join the dancing.

Soon, the other Mugiwaras were doing the same. Franky offered a hand to Robin, who was sitting on the bench, clapping her hand in time with the music. The archaeologist smiled and conceded.

Sanji was about to ask Nami but his effort was thwarted by Usopp suddenly grabbing the navigator’s hand to drag her in a circle he, Luffy and Chopper had made.

The cook shouted curses and threats but his voice was drowned by the music, laughter and clapping.

Zoro smirked from the sidelines, mentally thanking the sniper from whisking Nami away from the perverted cook’s clutches. He took a swig from his mug and shook his head to refuse a pretty girl, and another, who were asking him to join the dance as well.

He silently observed his friends; spinning around and around, holding hands as if it they were just on the lawn deck of the Sunny, playing ring-around-the-rosy game. They were jumping and prancing to the lively beat with seemingly boundless energy. He can hear them laughing and cheering and he grinned at the fact that they are enjoying themselves.

They really should. After kicking the ass of the island’s former tyrannical ruler and his ridiculous minions, they deserve it.

That was the reason why a feast was being held on their honor. Even if they repeatedly said they are not heroes and was just passing by without really any intention to free the oppressed island.

One steely eye settled on the orange-haired woman as Usopp twirled Nami around. Zoro watched her giggle girlishly when Luffy did the same, before their captain clumsily stepped on her foot. That earned the rubber man a fist in the face as his head hilariously ricocheted, almost hitting Franky’s back before Nami went and grabbed Chopper’s hand and they whirled together around laughing.

Her hair shone brightly under the yellow lights strung above the town square. She looked radiant, charming even (though he knows how deadly that charm is, he had seen men lured into their doom by that alone); more so when she threw back her head and laughed merrily as Sanji tried to seize her hand again in an attempt to dance with her and Luffy unwittingly intercepted by jumping on the chef’s arms.

There was another frustrated scream, followed by a lot of curses and kicking as Zoro rolled his eye.

Stupid cook. Serves him right.

The music continued playing, it seemed endless. And instead of tiring the people out, it only served to make them more enthusiastic as they all clapped, cheered, stomped their foot with the music and laughed, louder than before.

Nami had finally relented and let the blond idiot dance with her and spin her around, thrice, before blood—as expected—spurted out from his nose. From what, Zoro did not bother finding out as he fought the urge to roll his eye again at absurdity of it all. Of course it was not helping that the mapmaker had donned a light blue lace bustier top (he heard her call it that during one tiring, laundry day), and her chest was practically spilling out of it.

Not that he was eyeing her… but yes.

If Nami was able to make him look… then he doesn’t even want to think what it was doing to the other men within the vicinity with less restraint than him. Take swirly brows for example.

He studied her at the rim of his mug as he took another sip of his beer. She was trying to catch her breath, her hands on her hips, shaking her head as Chopper hurriedly took care of their fallen comrade. Surprisingly, there was a remnant of smile on her face as she watched everything before her as the others continued to zealously dance the night away.

Her chest heaved as she tried to get her breathing back to normal and he didn’t missed the way the soft mounds in front of her bounced slightly at each movement. And the dainty gold chain she was wearing around her neck wasn’t doing anyone a favor as it only guaranteed to catch anyone’s eyes and lead it straight down to her cleavage.

His gaze trailed upwards. Her long orange hair was loose and the curling tresses looked wild as if someone had deliberately tousled it by raking their fingers through it. There were errant strands sticking against her neck due to sweat. She was breathing through pursed lips and her face was flushed prettily.

She damn looked like she had been thoroughly kissed.

Or even better…

She looked exactly the way she does after a night of having his way with her.

Something instantly stirred inside him and he can feel himself starting to swell at the thought of taking her again… probably tonight if possible.

He didn’t realize he was biting at the rim of his mug; not until he gritted his teeth when a love-struck fool approached her to try his luck.

He composed himself and shifted his attention to his liquor. It’s probably best to just enjoy his drink and temporary peace for now. He still got a barrel—scratch that—or two, to finish up before he was done feasting for the night. Besides, with all the merriment going on and knowing his friends… this could go well until dawn.

Zoro refilled his mug, momentarily glancing back at the crowd to check on Nami and the others when his eye met hers.

She must’ve refused the man earlier, as she was standing alone now. He saw the way her face lit up when she saw him looking and an enticing but rather devious smile appeared on her lips.

He fixed her with a stare, even as he tipped his mug back to drink his beer.

There was a tap on his shoulder and he was a bit peeved at the interruption. He grudgingly tore his eye away from Nami. A lovely girl was standing beside him with a shy smile on her face. She was asking him if he wanted to dance and he immediately shook his head to turn her down, trying his damnedest to be polite as much as possible.

He went back to drinking and refusing another girl's invitation to dance again. He was well on his way to his fourth mug when he felt someone swiftly sidle closer to him. The distinct scent of mikans gave her away and Zoro wasn’t a bit surprised to find a pair of smooth, shapely legs just in line with his unimpaired vision.

“Are you done making pretty girls cry tonight?”

He lazily flicked an eye up on her face and scoffed.

Nami was smiling cheekily as she took the liberty of sitting on the table where he was drinking, nonchalantly crossing her leg over the other and setting one strappy heeled foot on the space beside his seat, letting the other just dangle in mid-air.

She placed her elbow on her knee, resting her chin in her hand as her brown eyes trailed over him up and down slowly.

Zoro threw back his drink draining the mug’s content in one gulp… before letting out a loud belch knowing it would ruffle her feathers.

The navigator’s face scrunched into a frown at his uncouthness. “You are such a pig Zoro!”

His grin was wide when he saw her expression.

She stuck here tongue out at him. “Have you done enough feasting swordsman?” Nami inquired as she observed that the table was almost food-free.

When he didn’t answer again, she decided to poke his leg with the pointy heel of her shoe. “Well… have you?” She probed as she poked him again, prompting him to clamp down a hand around her ankle.

“Nope,” Zoro replied. “Not yet.”

She rolled her eyes at him. “Please don’t tell me what you wolfed down earlier and the three barrels of booze were still not enough?” She keeps forgetting how Zoro is just like their gluttonous captain… his appetite was just a voracious.

The smirk that appeared on his face set off the alarm bells inside her head as his thumb started rubbing the inside of her ankle, just below the strap, sending a wave of warm pleasure all over her body.

“There’s something else I want to feast on tonight.”

Nami’s breath hitched at that. With one arm he managed to scoop her up by the waist as he stood up, growling a ‘come here’, before throwing her over his shoulder.

“ZORO!” She yelped, smacking him on his back, even as she hooked an arm around his neck.

Zoro quickly glanced around to see is anyone can see them. Thank heavens all of their nakama and townspeople were still in the reveling zone; partying their hearts out.

He chuckled as he started walking away from all the merrymaking. He surreptitiously slid a hand inside her short skirt to give her ass a slap.

Shivers ran up and down Nami’s spine as an excited moan escaped her before she can even stop herself. Her insides started to throb in anticipation in what he might have in store for her tonight.

She pushed herself off his shoulder a little so she can look at his face. “At least know where you are going Zoro.”

“Does it really matter where?”

“At least somewhere with a bed idiot.”

They rounded a corner of a random dwelling, just as Brook started playing another jig and the whole town erupted into cheers and clapping again.

“We don’t need a bed Nami,” He whispered huskily.“You’re not sleeping tonight.”

The heat she was feeling immediately shot straight into her head. “Oh fuck.” Nami gasped, biting her lip as Zoro started planting wet kisses on her jaw and neck.

"Yeah... all night long." He assured her as he crushed her lips against hers.

This is definitely going to be one night she wouldn’t mind losing sleep.

I was totally going to post about what makes Raizo awesome, answer a question and fill a request but then my phone got destroyed. While I spend the next day or so fixing that. Here. Enjoy this....

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Poor guys, their dreams were crushed...And it was a simple dream. They just wanted mystical shadow assassins to be real. ...And now I'm imagining a crossover between One Piece and Ninja Turtles.

@gildedmuse replied:

Which one does Luffy inevitably ask to join his crew? Cause I feel like the easy answer: Michelangelo. But actually I think it would be Master Splinter.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

I can see Luffy and Law fighting to get all five on their crew, and being forced to settle on shared custody. 😂

@gildedmuse replied:

I asked my brother and his expert opinion was, "I don’t know, you're probably right. But Donatello and Franky be bros."

Also, we agreed that Raphael is just an angry Zoro. Which I was like, "You don't think Luffy would ask Law to join his crew?"

His reply, "Well, he hasn't asked yet. Probably jealous of all that sweet time Law got with Zoro on the way to Wano."

I HAVE TRAINED THIS BOY SO WELL PEOPLE

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Clearly! 😂 I think Donny would get along well with Law, too, as would Leo, while Raph and Mikey would prefer Luffy if only because he gets into the craziest adventures.

And Master Splinter would just want to listen to his shows.

@gildedmuse replied:

Leo: We need a plan.

Luffy: Good point, Lion Turtle!

Law: THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING THE ENTIRE FUCKING TIME!?

Luffy: Huh. I guess never heard you before because you're not a giant turtle ninja guy.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Oh my god, that's exactly what would happen! 🤣 And Zoro teaming up with Raph to pick on Sanji, while Donny joins up with Usopp and Franky to build some crazy stuff while Mikey rolls around the deck with Chopper like a dork.

@gildedmuse replied:

Raphael's and Zoro's Sole Interaction:

Raphael: *Nods to Zoro* Nice swords.

Zoro: *Nod returned* Nice Sais.

Small But Morally In The Right Group Of Fans: Oh, well, I would ship the FUCK out of these two.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

That sounds about right!

Poor Master Splinter, I think he'd hide on the Polar Tang for some peace and quiet...

@gildedmuse replied:

Leo suggests all the most Law like shit only Luffy actually acknowledges him and takes it into consideration because he’s a goddamn ninja turtle. Law spends the entire time just over Leo's shoulder in various states of sullenness, outrage and indignation. This is exactly the advice he gave yesterday and Strawhat-ya straight up ignored.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

I figure he'd just take advantage of it and work with Leo to get things back on track after a while, still muttering under his breath about how Luffy never listens to him.

@gildedmuse replied:

For some reason all I see now is Law being like, "Alright, I'm agreeing to leave Leo here because God knows someone should reign in the Strawhat. But goddamnit, Raphael comes with me. You only get one!" 4

Luffy: Okay if we also keep the rat monster!

Nami: No, Luffy, that doesn't make sense. There are 4 turtles and 2 of you!

Luffy: Oh, yeah, thank God we have this navigator-

Bepo: That is not what navigation is!

Luffy: What do you mean we only get one?

Law: -pointing between Zoro and Raphael- You. Only. Get. One.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

I can definitely see Luffy just assuming everything Nami does as a 'navigator' thing. And Law trying to barter for Donny so he doesn't get stuck with Mikey. 😂

Oh my gosh, YES. 🤣

@gildedmuse replied:

You know Zoro tries to just stare down his captain as Luffy looks between the two like he isn't secretly nervous. Like... He believes in Luffy and their connection but also.... It's a goddamn ninja that's also a turtle and has goddamn awesome sai. So... You know, could go either way. He understands. It's a fucking ninja turtle.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

I would definitely be torn! And there's Sanji, egging Luffy on to keep the turtle. 😂

@gildedmuse replied:

Sanji: come on he's exactly like Zoro only useful!

Zoro: Oi!

Sanji: What? At least if we're stuck out at sea we can make turtle soup out of him.

Chopper: Using food to guide Luffy's logic isn't fair! (Turtle soup does sound yummy though)

And Zoro just standing there like come on, Chopper, you too?

@dragonprincess18 replied:

And Mikey asking to go on the Tang because he doesn't want to be made into soup, while Raph grabs him by the mask like, I'm not getting stuck with you!

@gildedmuse replied:

I love that both Raph and Zoro are like well, you know what? I've accepted my date of being forced to go with Law. That is some good sidekick vision. They know who the fucking protagonist is!

Actually, phone, I meant fate but fuck it. I'm sticking with date.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Raph hates it, but he's a natural second-in-command. And he also doesn't want to be stuck with Leo. 😂

There are no accidents.

@gildedmuse replied:

Raphael: Well, I'm choosing Law.

Zoro: -At the same time- We'd obviously both like to stay with our actual Captains so-

Zoro:...

Zoro: Wait did you just pick Law?

Zoro: -Eyeing Leo-

Zoro: Yeah... I'm gonna go ahead and go with Law as well then.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

And Luffy goes all anaconda on them, like NO! Law only gets one! Zoro's mine!

@gildedmuse replied:

On the sidelines Nami, Chopper and Usopp who do not want to be left without a super strong swordsman are just like WHAT!?

Zoro can't explain. There's just something about some other dude with blades that he would definitely fight To The Death that he inherently trusts.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

And Sanji is trying to convince him to let Zoro go while Leo just tries to massage away a headache, and Donny raises a hand, like "I...also want to go with Law now."

Though I could also see Zoro taking Leo as a sparring partner.

And Usopp bartering for Donny, while Brooke quietly hides Master Splinter behind him.

@gildedmuse replied:

But that would be like Zoro taking Law as a sparing partner. Like I see it... I get where you're coming from. But there is sparing partners vs people you want to be on a crew with. Said with all the love in her heart. (Also, let's face it, it's Zoro. He can argue about it but whoever Luffy says they're taking... Those are now the people he would die for.)

@dragonprincess18 replied:

True...Zoro would do pretty much anything for Luffy. Except be nice to Sanji. There are lines.

@gildedmuse replied:

Also, for the record, Bepo considers them all minks and try to treat them as such and the turtles just like, "Well, no bro." And Bepo continuously shocked by this. Continuously.

I mean there are lines than there are fucking impassable mountains forever separating two spots.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Yeah, Bepo would be so confused.

Exactly, there are some things that can't be done.

@gildedmuse replied:

Luffy: Zoro, I need you to die for this crew

Zoro: I have already accepted this sacrifice and moved to make it so. Just as long as you become pirate king and my crew lives.

Luffy: Zoro, legitimately the only way the crew will survive is if you are nice to Sanji for like an hour... At most.

Zoro: Well, Captain, you and the crew can go fuck yourselves cuz that ain't happening.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Yup. That's a canon conversation they've had in their minds. No need to voice it, Luffy knows. It's hard enough when Zoro has to work with Sanji for two straight minutes!

In comparison, Leo and Raph are best friends!

@gildedmuse replied:

For the record, if you were writing some weird NT/OP fanfic that was also ZoLaw friendly that is right there how you would get Zoro on the Polar Tang.

Law: Actually, we'd have to take the turtle bladesman. Obviously yours is too invested in staying here with you... And black leg-ya who will also be on this ship.

Zoro: FUCK IT, HAVE THE TURTLE I’M GOING WITH NOTSA... WITH LAW.

Law: -I got your swordman. Whatcha gonna do Strawhat? But nonverbal cuz Law-

I mean yeah because Raphael clearly a second. I know this because I have an unfortunate love of seconds. Like just love a main character or at least the fucking leader goddamnit. But still... You always love your captain, even if he has a stick up his ass.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

And Luffy pouting, but letting Zoro go... Because he plans on never letting Law leave, either. 😝 Neighbors!

It's an unfortunate truth. Especially when you're the second-oldest.

@gildedmuse replied:

Oh well you've broken me. That's too cute. Just Luffy pouting like fine... But NAMI NEVER LET THAT SHIP OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!

Zoro just like "I'm an adult and also.... Two years."

Luffy: I will never. Let you. Leave me.

Zoro: I am in no way trying to.

Luffy: -Dark eyes of Determination- Never.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

And Law standing there like, I'm never getting away from this, this is my life now, what did I do to deserve this? While the turtles are mostly relieved they're all staying together.

@gildedmuse replied:

Law: -Despair-

Bepo: There there captain. At least you got a Swordsman now.

Law: I AM A SWORDSMAN! Leo-ya is a swordsman! Why does no one think of us!?

Penguin: Well no one actually forgot about Leo, we just accepted him as staying with the Strawhats so....

Meanwhile, Across The Ship

Zoro: Alright, so Kid and Drake are out. Why not the Bonney Pirates?

Nami: Again,not physically here.

Chopper: AND WHY DO YOU WANT TO ABANDONED US!?

Law: -DESPAIR-

The only argument regarding Law being all, "You know what? Fine take him back" is regarding if it's Zoro's destructiveness or Luffy's stubbornness that drives him to the edge.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Zoro: It's me or the shitty cook.

Sanji: I'm not going anywhere, mosshead!

Zoro: See?

Chopper and Usopp: 😭

Or both. Both is possible. And Luffy will still follow him everywhere because "We're allies, Torao! That means we're friends, and friends don't run from friends!" "THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!"

@gildedmuse replied:

Law: GET OUT!

Nami: Now would you say it was Zoro or Luffy's behavior that finally broke you?

Law: Excuse me?

Nami: Look, there is actual money on the line here, Law, so I will not hesitate to kill you.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Law: ...Luffy.

Nami: I knew it! Pay up!

Usopp: Aw man, I swore it'd be Zoro's sense of direction...

@gildedmuse replied:

"JUST BECAUSE WE'RE ALLIES DOESN'T MAKE US FRIENDLY, STRAWHAT-YA! YOU CAN'T JUST HAVE YOUR SWORDSMAN BACK BECAUSE YOU MISS HIM!

Luffy: I DIDN'T HEAR ANY OF THAT I’M GONNA JUST KEEP ON ASSUMING YOU KNOW THE RIGHT WAY BECAUSE WE BESTIES!

Law: I DO NOT LIKE YOU!

Luffy: LOVE YOU TOO!

Bepo is just like "Usopp is not wrong it's pretty bad you guys " No one pays him any attention. Maybe if he was a fucking ninja turtle....

When a Kung Fu polar bear just isn't enough

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Law is a grumpy panda teddy, and Luffy knows it. There's no denying it now. They've all seen it. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if he and Mikey both read Sora: Warrior of the sea.

Poor Bepo, he's still cute enough for me! *hugs Bepo*

@gildedmuse replied:

I mean you know Raphael reads that shit but doesn't openly tell anyone right? Because I feel that is definitely true.

@dragonprincess18 replied:

Raphael has a reputation to uphold. And a baby brother to annoy. 😂

Ruminating on Rebels, 2

I know I took awhile with this episode, but boy does it feel long. The pacing is off? Or my brain is just unhappy. No idea which. I suspect that’s just my brain, though.

SPOILERS AHEAD. REBELS CRITICAL. For details what this is about, here’s a post. My relevant tag is “throwing popcorn at Rebels”.

Episode 2: Spark of Rebellion Part II

Overview:

Ezra runs into the Star Destroyer to warn the team, gets to Zeb and Kanan just before they get ganked at the cell block. Sabine cuts the gravity, leaves a lot of explosives at the control room, but Ezra gets caught on the way out. The Ghost crew makes it to hyper before finding this out from Zeb, vote on going back or not. Kallus makes a pretext of questioning Ezra (note: I think it’s meant as legit, but it felt lackluster), and then Ezra escapes as the Ghost crew arrives to rescue him. They meet up part way and book it, only to find that while escaping, Ezra overheard where the wookies REALLY were being held. Off they go to Kessel to save the wookiees! Fight scene at the spice mines, leading to Kanan using the lightsaber and getting ID’d as a Jedi, Ezra faces off against Kallus to save a kid wookiee, the team escapes. Kanan offers Ezra a chance to join up and learn to use the Force, and away they go to a dramatic voice-over by Obi-Wan via holocron recording.

Random impressions:

These wookiees are AWFUL

PLASTIC FOR YOU, PLASTIC FOR YOU, BAD ACTION FIGURES OF EEEEEEVERYONE

I really, REALLY, R E A L L Y don’t like Hera. She’s advertised as team leader and Space!Mom, but all I keep seeing is manipulative bullshit. Apparently letting Ezra take the holocron was a test to see if he was Force sensitive. Her comment in the Ghost the last episode about “If all you do is fight for your own life, then your life is worth nothing” - aaaagh. That – I get what they’re TRYING to say, about having Purpose is good, but having been in A Very Bad Place where all I could do was cling by my fingernails and try to take care of myself because 1, no one else would and 2, that was literally all I could manage – that just smacks me in the face with guilt-tripping. I know it’s not meant to be that, just...UGH. At best, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I’m going to continue side-eyeing her until she proves she’s not ACTUALLY an asshole, and yes, that is apparently an uphill battle.

The rescued wookiees say that if the Ghost crew “ever need help, they’ll be there” - THAT BETTER PAY OUT BEFORE THE SERIES IS OVER. (spoiler: Wookieepedia indicates it does not. I am disappoint, though I will keep an eye out in case it’s wrong.)

I am totally convinced now that Ezra HAS actually been using the Force awhile. The way he somersaults over crates into cover – dodging blaster bolts – and then later over a trooper to get between him and a Wookiee kid – that’s something Ezra KNOWS he can do. Like, past experience doing that sort of leap. I want to see how this interacts with Kanan’s lessons.

Kanan dodges bolts a lot more than he reflects them, but when he does they tend to take out troopers effectively. Someone’s spent time practicing.

Speaking of, he goes WAY hard on the Stoic Holy Jedi (With A Lightsaber Up His Ass) thing. Ugh. I want the goofy smuggler more. That’s more fun, AND show’s growth away from his past. We’ll see how that interacts with right now he’s trying to Jedi because oh noes, it’s a padawan (WHUT DOOOOOO)!

When Kanan shows up to save Ezra, he’s is riding on top the ghost, which pops up alongside the catwalk. ....meaning Mr. Drama Llama opened the doors to a shipping crate in flight and somehow flipped his way up to the top of the ship, OR lightsabered his way an exit through the TOP of the crate, which I hope was done carefully or they took out parts of the magnetic seal keeping the crate attached to the bottom of the ship. ...Jedi. SIGH. WHY COULD NO ONE MAKE A CRACK ABOUT THAT? YES IT WAS IMPRESSIVE, BUT THEN AFTERWARDS IT MAKES A GREAT TENSION RELEASE TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT WAS UNUSUAL. Meh. Ok, that one’s probably me being too finicky.

Sabine left about 20 explosives in the control room. Just one of those has been shown to be enough to blast open doors and destroy a speeder bike. HOW MUCH BOOM DO YOU NEED? I mean, ok, this leads to a hole in the side of the super star destroyer (venting atmosphere! :D That was some LOVELY animation and there WAS squee about that!)

Zeb is a gods damned wreck. If he were less physically violent, I would pick him as a favorite, because interesting non-human and it’s clearly trauma and not knowing how to people that leads to him being...him. However, I can’t get over the way he’s THAT rough. There’s a line between “you’re dealing with old issues poorly, and that expresses itself through (at best) roughhousing and not gauging your own strength” and “you’re beating up on others and using your trauma as an excuse for it, and we all know how well ‘cool motive still murder’ works as a defense.”

When Ezra left, Chopper made sad bwoops and waved goodbye in a non-sarcastic way. Whut.

The animators are still not getting clear direction. The bit that really jumped out at me was when Ezra saves the kid wookiee, he’s shown hoisting the kid’s cuffed hands and looking all puzzled at the binders – and we just saw how he IMMEDIATELY knew how to pick those things open on the adult wookiees. Possibly just me being nitpicky again, but it’s very jarring to me.

The “I swear, if he gets left behind again it is not my fault!” bit showed up, and I can’t tell if that’s them trying to make the repetition is funny thing, or establishing a trend? I mean, I COULD see a longer running...not gag, but trend, of Zeb having to either leave or haul Ezra out of things and them bitching at each other over this for YEAAAAARS until it’s just an easy thing, a well-worn way to poke at a friend like an affable punch to the shoulder that is just a thing they do. Which could be cute, if done right.

Hopefully more coherent views:

The inter-group dynamics are wild, and I don’t think I mean that in a complimentary sense. Zeb is just...kinda broken, ok. Sabine was kind of a non-entity through most of this. I don’t have the spoons to count her lines, but the most memorable thing that she did was want to know how the explosion looked. Which...ok? I guess? Hera had more characterization, and we got the Competent!Pilot thing – along with the Manipulative Asshole thing, which yeah, I’m eyeballing a LOT more. Chopper came across as irritable and generally a cranky old man, which would fly better if Zeb wasn’t already trying to squat on that territory. It makes things feel more grating than perhaps they are. Kanan is your average Jedi but in better clothes, and I can’t tell how much sanctimoniousness is he doesn’t know how to teach, how much is just discomfort, and how much is I don’t like the manipulation of Ezra.

As for Ezra, he’s got some NEAT skills. I...kinda like the whole “nope, I’m not a hero, not running out there in a the middle of a blaster fight to save some rando” attitude because it’s hints of the hero’s journey having far to go, but there’s not enough heart of gold for me to give any shits. He’s TOO caught up in his own situation for me to care (and while I don’t blame him as a character for that, it makes him a third-rate Aladdin archetype. All the ‘in the rough’ but no ‘diamond’).

Kallus is satisfying to dislike, for all that he feels like a poor man’s Thrawn. The temper tantrum of kicking the surviving stormtrooper off the catwalk was gratuitous, but fine. We’re not supposed to like him. (Yes, I know about later, but I’m ignoring that at the moment.)

So. Yaye, I guess. We have our characters, we have our villain and our on-the-sidelines villain in the Inquisitor waiting to swoop in to be all mastermind badguy. We have our setup, and a few potential threads to follow back on.

End summary:

That was a weak (second half to a) first episode. I mean, again, that’s not a killer, but nothing about the show grabs me and goes “ISN’T THIS THING AWESOME???” There’s too much internal conflict without enough glue to bond people together, I have strong reasons to dislike almost everyone (and the rest are too undeveloped yet to really hit me one way or another). With the animation doing nothing for me, it’s...getting no traction so far.

Hello there! Welcome around :) I don't know how to call you yet, but you'll probably be Sanji around here! Since you're all fresh, why not starting with a headcanon? Law and Zoro dealing with their fem s/o who has an incontrollable fear of blood? These boys are always covered with it... So I wonder how they would deal with it! Thanks a lot, and all the best luck for your blog!

Hello Miho, dear! It’ll be my pleasure! I have very scarce reference on blood phobia, but I really hope it did your request justice! Thanks a lot for the best wishes, I’ll sure be blessed if I get this much support from you guys

Trafalgar Law

He totally gives her the “are you fucking kidding me?” look when she tells him about her absolutely conventional fear, pen twirling from one finger to the next as he decides whether he should just continue to fill up her health form or make her change her mind about joining his crew, because piracy and blood phobia don’t go well together.

Moreover, the Heart Pirates and blood phobia definitely don’t go well together. This man moves around his lab with very large splotches of red on his coat and gloves. Law usually doesn’t let anyone into his sterilized sanctuary, but this girl is absolutely banned from the very first day. How is he supposed to deal with a possible collapse when he’s covered in what caused it?

Law tends to go a little overboard in his battles and, while his fruit saves his s/o from the terrifying sight of blood showers, he doesn’t get the same courtesy that his enemies do. Deep cuts, a busted lip, bloody nose, several bullet holes… He comes out pretty beat up,and absolutely doesn’t need a screech to add to his pounding headache, no matter how horrifying he knows he looks. He just ends up forbidding her from partaking in battles as well.

He’s the kind of guy who walks around with a mini first aid kit, which comes in handy for those occasions when his s/o gets a cut or a mini wound. If he’s close by, he’s going to treat and band aid it with impressive, swift hands before she can see the smallest drop of blood.

Law actually doesn’t really like that he has to go the extra mile to ensure that she doesn’t wobble or, in a worst case scenario, have a panic attack at the sight of blood. It might sound selfish, but it’s actually just because he has learnt to live with blood as if it was a second skin thanks to his profession, both as a pirate captain and as a surgeon.

He always ends up denying that this bothers him, especially to her. She has apologized for all the extra work she has put him through for the sake of her comfort, several times, but Law brushes it off as something unimportant. He doesn’t want her to feel upset for something that isn’t even her fault, Law wouldn’t be doing any of this if he didn’t care.

The more time he spends next to her, the easier it is to dismiss the idea of a long distance relationship. At first he thought that it would be better for everyone’s health to just ensure a happy life for her in a small, peaceful island, but he has never had the guts to suggest abandoning her like that. When he becomes her s/o, Law immediately discards the idea.

When he decides that there’s no way she’s going to leave his crew, Law starts to seriously suggest some kind of therapy to get rid of her fear. It’s just the little things, such as asking her to not look away when she sees a small cut, until it becomes too much. He’s mindful of how much it drains her.

The usual blood tests he runs on his crew also become milestones in this path they’re walking together, because every time she can handle the sight of blood a little better, Law always makes sure to let her know how proud he is of her. He has a nice storage of sweet goodies stacked up to gain some glucose after the removal of blood, so he decides to take some time off his busy schedule to have some snacks with her.

The last step after the very long progress is placing his heart on her hands – quite literally. Law knows that she’s scared, and won’t do this until after they have both thoroughly agreed on it, but they know they have come a long way when she doesn’t do much more than freeze a little when the heavy and warm cube that kept his beating heart was placed on her palm. Perhaps it was just knowing that it took Law a lot of trust to go this far for her, but the sight of the small waves of blood going from one ventricle to another as the organ throbbed calmly… it didn’t terrify her that much.

Roronoa Zoro

Zoro honestly doesn’t understand why the hell she started to scream when he came back from the island with a terribly beaten up arm, bruised and bloody. Looking back now, he still doesn’t see the big deal in it, but he does feel kind of bad for screaming at her to shut up. He will just admit it was the pain snapping, not him.

He just can’t help but disregard and even understimate her fear. Blood is the most natural thing in the world in his books and his thick skull really can’t fit in the idea of it being as frightening as she feels it is. It’s nothing personal, he just has this attitute towards most phobias because he’s nearly fearless and can’t really relate.

At first he’s most likely going to get really annoyed if she “overreacts”, and won’t do much to help her if he comes back with half an ear off or cuts all over his chest. It’s not like she’s being forced to see him in that state, she can totally just ignore him and the thick blood dripping with every step he took, and Zoro expects her to do just that.

One way to easily notice that he has become her s/o and that he cares about her is that he won’t ask her to stop crying over spilled blood, like he used to. He does his damn best to stop himself from snapping at her because he doesn’t want to upset her anymore than she is; he knows she’s having it rough enough already. Still pretty terrible at comforting, but gives the best, warm hugs to bring her back if she gets too lost in her fear.

Quite overprotective, and this trait is just enhanced by the fact that he feels that his s/o can never be truly safe if she is unable to make a potential threat bleed. This is why he usually asks her to stay onboard. He knows it’s difficult to protect her when she can’t see blood, so even staying by her side while exploring the town is risky. However, he’s totally confident in his ability to knock some weak punks unconscious without having anyone shed blood.

Zoro is the kind of lover who tries too hard, but occasionally fails just as hard. If his s/o gets a small injury, he’s next to her within the next few seconds, but he’s also struggling with the sticky band aids. He still tries to curse in his lowest voice because he doesn’t want to startle her and make the situation worse – how bad could a cut get?! Pretty bad, if we’re talking about Zoro, but he has the best intentions only, really.

As sadistic and weird as it sounds, he kind of enjoys the taste of blood so, instead of treating a cut with the complex doctor stuff, he’d rather just suck it clean, like the old school guy he is. Her red face and nervous breathing tells him that the cure is worse than the disease itself, though. He tries, but he’s really a mess.

Zoro is kind of better at supporting from the sidelines, honestly. One very sweet example is that everytime his lover gets out of Chopper’s office feeling upset because of a blood test, he’s always waiting for her outside to carry her to the crow’s nest for a well-deserved nap.

Her context gives him the BEST excuse to push that perverted cook over the railing. Of course Zoro’s not going to let Sanji near his s/o when there’s the risk of her seeing a nosebleed. He doesn’t usually need an excuse to kick Snooj away, but this one works perfectly because Sanji respects his s/o’s and will actually stay away from her and, subsequently, from Zoro.

His ideas involving some kind of progress to help her overcome her fear would be too blunt to put into practice. He kind of believes that exposing his s/o to a bag of blood (that Chopper won’t lend him) while embracing her and helping her calm down before its presence is a good idea. Knowing this, it’s really not a surprise that she still fears blood with a passion, but it’s not that much of a problem when her lover tries his best to protect her from it.
