Your Dream
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚*:・゚✧*:・゚
Pairing: Monkey D Luffy x Y/N
Content: You remembered the reason why you joined Luffy's crew.
A/n: I thought of this idea at 3AM. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did writing this! <3

"So Y/N, what is your dream?" Luffy asked you as you both sat on the Sunny's head, the wind blowing through your hair and the sound of waves crashing in the distance.
"Dream?" you repeated, your mind drifting to a distant place.
"Yeah!" Luffy chuckled, "Like I want to be the King of the Pirates!"
You stared out at the vast ocean, searching for an answer to Luffy's question. But no matter how hard you tried, nothing came to mind. The truth was, you didn't have a dream yet, and that uncertainty weighed heavily on your heart.
Growing up with a drunk father and a wicked mother in a country where such circumstances were unfortunately common, dreams seemed like a luxury you couldn't afford.
You yearned for stability and a sense of belonging, which made finding your own dream all the more challenging.
You remembered your father saying to you, "Dreams are for people who aren't able to accept their fate, people who can't accept their destiny in this world."
Days after he had said that, the whole country was set ablaze, killing everyone except you. In the midst of the chaos and devastation, you found yourself standing alone, carrying the weight of your past and the uncertainty of your future.
You thought that you were fated to die with your family, your friends, and your country in order to fulfill your destiny.
That's until you saw a hand stretching towards you in the midst of the rubble and debris, and you thought it was the world telling you to rest. But as you looked closer, you realized that it was a stranger.
The stranger had a straw hat tilted to the side, casting a shadow over his eyes, and he wore a vibrant red vest that stood out against the backdrop of destruction. His grin was infectious, revealing a genuine warmth and a glimmer of mischief that awakened something within you.
"Hey! Are you okay? My name is Monkey D Luffy and I'm going to be the King of the Pirates. You wanna join my crew?" He asked as if he was oblivious to the destruction around him.
You hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond.
But something in Luffy's unwavering determination and genuine belief in his dream sparked a flicker of hope within you. With a smile on your face, you nodded and took his hand, pulling yourself up off the ground.
As you joined Luffy's crew, you realized that your destiny was not to die with your family and country, but to embark on a thrilling adventure as a pirate.
Maybe your destiny was to be with him. . . .
'*•.¸♡ ♡¸.•*''*•.¸♡ ♡¸.•*''*•.¸♡ ♡¸.•*''*•.¸♡ ♡¸.•*'
"Y/N," Luffy's voice brought you back to reality as he tapped your shoulder gently. You turned to him, realizing that you had been lost in your thoughts for a moment.
"Yes Luffy?" you asked, mustering the realest smile you could make.
Luffy saw through your fake smile immediately, his eyes narrowing with concern. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" you asked, attempting to deflect his concern.
Deep down, you knew that you couldn't hide your true emotions from Luffy for long.
Luffy replied, "You're crying, and that's not like you at all. What's going on? You can talk to me, you know."
You quickly touched your face and realized that you were actually crying. You tried to wipe away the tears, but they kept coming, betraying the emotions you had been trying so hard to hide. It was as if your tears had a mind of their own, refusing to be held back any longer.
"You know you don't have to keep it in anymore," Luffy muttered, pulling you into a side hug since you were sitting down.
The warmth of his embrace made it impossible to hold back any longer, and you buried your face in his shoulder, letting the tears flow freely.
As you cried into Luffy's shoulder, you couldn't help but grab the back of his vest tightly for comfort, feeling a sense of relief as you let out all the pent-up emotions that had been weighing you down.
His presence was a soothing balm to your wounded soul, reminding you that you didn't have to face your struggles alone.
You are my dream, you thought but you would never dare to say it to him.
In that moment, as you cried into Luffy's shoulder, you realized that he had become more than just a friend to you. Your heart longed to express your feelings, but the fear of rejection held you back.
As the tears subsided and you found solace in Luffy's embrace, exhaustion finally caught up with you. You didn't even notice when you started to drift to sleep, your head resting on Luffy's shoulder, knowing deep down that you were safe and protected in his presence.
"Luffy!- Oh, I didn't know you were busy," a voice said behind us, but you didn't move.
Even though you were half asleep, you could still recognize Nami's voice from a mile away. Despite feeling vulnerable in that moment, you trusted Luffy to handle the situation and protect you, so you remained in his embrace, knowing that he would shield you from any harm.
"It's okay, what do you need," Luffy asked, turning his head round to glance at Nami. His voice was calm and reassuring, a stark contrast to the vulnerability you felt in that moment.
"We're approaching a new island,"
You felt his head turn toward you as he made a low, thoughtful humming sound, the vibrations of it soothing your tired mind.
"I don't see it,"
"The island is covered by an invisible barrier and. . . ." Nami started but stopped with hesitance, unsure of how to continue.
"What is it?" Luffy's tone changed to being serious once hearing Nami's hesitance, his brows furrowing as he prepared himself for the potential danger that lay ahead.
"The island," Nami repeated. "It's the same one that destroyed Y/N's country."
Luffy's grip on you tightened slightly, his protective instincts kicking in. "We won't let that happen again," he said firmly, his voice filled with determination. "We'll just face whatever danger awaits us and protect her." . . .

YANDERE MONKEY D. LUFFY; HEADCANONS
Cw; Yandere.fem reader.Manipulation.Gaslighting.Enabling crew.Stockholm syndrome. Not proofread.
Tumblr media
You’ll never know until your caught; He reels you in with his smile, his playfulness, his curiosity. All of his jokes make you laugh! He’s so kind and nice to you. He’s always thinking about you! He shows you every little thing he picks up and stuff from his adventures! Speaking of which you should come with him! Life at sea is great! Plus there’s no telling whether he’ll ever come back to this island again. So join his crew! You don’t need to feel like you have to contribute anything! Just do what you can and you’ll be a true straw hat! He gives you a few days to think it over and like every member before you, you fall for his romanticized version of the sea and set sail as the newest member of the straw hats.
“Gotcha~ ;P”
He’s got you right where he wants you; You’ll soon see the dangers of the sea a month into the vogue. Sea kings, other pirates, marines, scurvy. Almost every day you’re fighting for your right to breath! A bounty on your head for just being spotted with the straw hats. You’re in over your head! You’re not much of a fighter! You’re going to die if you stay here any longer! You’ve got to get out of here! You take it up with Luffy and he simply crosses his arms and smiles at you. “Leave? If it’s what you want, I won’t stop you! We’ll be at the next island in three days. It was a pleasure being your captain and I’ll never forget you.” He gives you a hearty smile as a send off. You’re relieved he’s being so nice about it.
He knows you can’t leave, well alive that is; marines flooded the next island. They got an anonymous tip that the straw hats would be porting in the next week and jumped at the opportunity. You’re captured and almost executed if it wasn’t for Luffy saving you at the last moment. Your traumatized, hugging onto his red vest and crying into his chest. So much fire, so much gun shots, so much blood shed… Luffy simply rubs the back of your head and smiles. “Don’t worry bout it… with me here no one will harm you.” You cry even louder and won’t let go of him for the world. How could you ever think about leaving him?
He knows your weak and uses that to his advantage; “Stick by me okay? I don’t want you to get hurt.” You nod, taking his hand easily. The fear of what if lurks down the corner and fills your body. Ever since you were captured you don’t feel safe without Luffy around. The rest of the crew try to get you to feel more comfortable but nothing works. When Zoro suggests you train with him to hold your own, Luffy just glares at his green haired friend and talks to him behind closed doors. “I don’t want her to get hurt. Don’t worry about her I’ll be here to protect her.” Or when Usopp offers to build you a weapon, Luffy shuts him down as well. The crew is beyond confused on why Luffy’s apposed to this… but he is the captain so what can you do? The crew watches on in concern as you grip Luffy tightly and the male laughs and teases you about how he’ll always be there for you.
Expect when he’s not. It’s not a coincidence or mistake. He planned this; “L-Luffy!? L-Luffy!” Your voice strained out as you walk around the ship looking for him. Did he fall in the water?! Did we leave him at the last island?! Did he leave you?! Your panicking and hyperventilating as you can’t find Luffy anywhere. The crew tries to reassure you that he’s alright but you curl up into a ball and begin to sob in despair. You don’t feel safe anymore without him near. He’s missing for around three days until he randomly appears like nothing happened to him. “Yeah I fell asleep on lookout duty, that last fight messed me up more then I thought! I was right there in the tower!” He makes up a silly story. You’re squeezing him tightly, crying and yelling about how you’ll never let him go. And all he could do is smile and hug you back. He’ll never let you go.
He can’t control himself when others talk about his behavior or you; They’re not blind. You’re attached to Luffy 24/7 and it’s not healthy. They think he doesn’t understand you’re not well, that he just thinks you want to play or cuddle with him all the time, but he’s well aware of you not being well. “Yeah so what? If it’s what she wants, what’s the problem?” “Luffy she won’t even eat if you’re not present! She can’t function without you around! We tried to get her to go get treated with Chopper but she won’t leave without you!” Nami tried to reason with her captain, she couldn’t go on any longer watching her friend turn into a husk of herself. Luffy’s eyes glare at Nami holding your hand close to his face. “There’s no need for Chopper to treat her. I like her this way~” He said with a sharp smirk the crew had never seen before. Just what’s gotten into him?
You slowly become Luffy’s lap dog, never seen a second away from him, always by his side; Hey at least it’s fun. He’s not as heartless as some others. You can drink, laugh, party, dance, you can do whatever you want as long as you’re next to him. It’s like the two of you are attached by the hip and it’s honestly creepy for the crew to witness. He’s always playing with you, tickling you, telling you stories and jokes. There isn’t a second you two are separated and it’s jarring whenever you two are. You seem hollow and distant without Luffy near and Luffy’s… off. There’s something about him that changes when you’re not around but no one can put a finger on it.
He didn’t think he’d ever hurt one of his crew… until; That pesky little Robin stuck her nose into a place where it didn’t belong. The captain’s quarters. The first thing that set her off were the walls, they were covered in crude drawings of you and Luffy. And tons of your wanted posters scattered the walls as well. Her mouth hung open in disbelief, her instincts telling her to leave but she couldn’t help but look through more. On his desk was a diary of some sorts, and plastered through the pages were just your name written down over and over again, frantic heart doodles, scribbles and ramblings of a mad man going on and on about you. It then clicked in her mind, No one had actually entered the captain’s room since you joined the crew… and as she turned around to finally leave she felt nothing but a rubbery punch to her stomach sending her flying back into the wall. “I thought I told everyone… the captain’s room is off limits.”
Then he flat out tells everyone, without sugarcoating it; “Y/N’s mine! I was the one who called in and told the marines about us docking so Y/N can get captured! Oh yeah and I did a bunch of other things to her too :p . I made her this way and we’re both happy about it!… if anyone else ISN’T happy about it, well. We’re pretty far out in the water. I dunno if anyone will find your body~!” Luffy let’s out one of his contagious laughs but nothing is funny. The crew is staring at him in horror. Robin clutches her broken ribs with wide, teary, eyes. Everyone had their mouth agape, in utter shock. They all knew something was wrong but never in a million years would they have thought Luffy was capable of doing this. To someone he claimed to love. You heard his words but didn’t react. You didn’t care anymore, Luffy knew best. You hugged him closely, putting your head into his chest, accepting your fate. “See? She likes it! Now anyone opposed to this?”
Well of course everyone’s opposed to it; But… what can you do… It’s Luffy. His power is too great, he’s nothing less then a god. Any attempts to help you escape or fight him off are shot down in seconds. Luffy has no remorse when he’s beating Sanji’s body blue because he thought it would be a good idea to try and help you sneak away on an island they were docked in. “Sanji… you’re a really good cook, and I don’ wanna loose you but if you want to come between us I’ll have no choice. So will you be nice and stop trying to take her away from me? :D?!” He asks him with a large smile, despite the blood running down his knuckles and the blonde underneath him that was slowly drifting in and out of consciousness.
The crew suddenly start getting injuries. Robin’s ribs, Nami’s throat, Usopp’s arm, Sanji’s leg, Chopper’s antlers, Zoro’s ear, Franky’s backside. Every pirate crew they come across is confused to see why the great straw hats are injuried so badly, all expect you of course. No longer do they smile in the face of their captain, instead they shake with fear. They soon stop trying to escape and fight, instead they all give in and comply with their captain’s orders.
So join his pirate crew, come live at sea with him! It’ll be fun! And once he haves you, he’ll never let you go~

I am going to have to start using a wheelchair soon because of mobility issues. Can I get hcs for the opla! guys (straw hat crew, Shanks, Buggy, and Mihawk) with a partner who has to use a wheelchair?
OPLA Characters x disabled!Reader
Tumblr media
[SFW + No Gendered Terms]
Pairings: Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Shanks, Buggy, Mihawk x disabled!reader
A/N: hello anon!! i hope ur doing alright <3 I don't personally use a wheelchair so I made this broad! (Some bullets are the characters pushing the wheelchair, while others are you in control, etc.) I tried to keep this light-hearted and fluffy! Assume characters have accommodated to you already and are close enough to be acting in the ways listed <3 However, please lmk if some things are inaccurate or non-preferable for my own understanding :)
Tumblr media
Monkey D. Luffy
Tumblr media
Please do not entrust this man to handle a wheelchair. He is literally running full-force while pushing you around.
Absolutely thinks it’s a game, laughing playfully while you’re holding on for dear life. (He literally thinks you’ll be fine no matter what 😭😭).
Has asked once or twice to be the one in the wheelchair because he thinks it’s like being on a ride. (He tried to do a trick and fell on his ass).
He is a sweetheart though <3 He’s trying to keep your spirits up and make you feel involved in all the action.
Roronoa Zoro
Tumblr media
Is completely serious in protecting you. His eyes are on complete watch at everyone around you two.
Absolutely death stares anyone coming close even if they have no intention of harm.
NEVER leaving your side, especially in public. Consider this scary dog privileges with Zoro.
Sometimes forgets that you're in a wheelchair and walks too fast. He panics that he's lost you before realizing that you were just around the corner.
Usopp
Tumblr media
Usopp tried to keep careful when handling your wheelchair if you need it.
He's definitely the one to keep his positive energy alive while with you. He's cracking jokes and sometimes moves your wheelchair along with his hums of a song.
Is the gentlest when it comes to picking you up and out of the wheelchair to set you down when you request to be. He likes feeling useful to you.
In the presence of danger, this is the equivalent of Shaggy and Scooby-Doo the way he just scurries off full-speed with you.
Vinsmoke Sanji
Tumblr media
Sanji is usually the one to guide you if you're in the Strawhats. He keeps a steady pace and isn't reckless at all.
Takes any opportunity to be close. When standing still, he puts his head onto yours. While moving, he likes to hold your hand to keep close.
He is the one to formally complaint if public spaces aren't wheelchair-accessible while apologizing profusely for the establishment's insolence. (he's overdramatically crying)
Shanks
Tumblr media
Not once will he ever make mention of it (that isn't about accommodations/preferences) nor treat you differently.
Always tries to make you feel involved, especially in group settings where he's always right beside you.
Normally sits down as well to keep eye level with you rather than standing over you. (He'll put his hat on you while keeping conversation going).
In threatening situations, his top priority is to get you safe before he engages.
Buggy
Tumblr media
Like Luffy, do not entrust this man with your safety pls 😭 He's spinning the wheelchair way too fast and you have to hold on for dear life.
If ever you feel insecure about using a wheelchair, he's immediately setting you into the audience and creating an elaborate show to cheer you up.
If you insist on going somewhere on your own (which he only allows if he's still close because he worries), he'll still detach his hand so he can place it above yours.
Mihawk
Tumblr media
Definitely the most trustworthy and safe. If you want to be moved, he will. If you wish to be independent, then he'll respect it.
When it comes to other people, they aren't important in his eyes since his focus is you and your comfort.
While he is stubborn, he is understanding. Not once has he shamed you at all. Even in his normally judging stares, they seemed to soften with you.
In regards to other people starting fights or trying to take advantage of you, he has no hesitation in defending you. It's basically on sight.

hi zuko !!! may i have familial headcanons for the monster trio with a little brother figure that wants to follow in their footsteps (wants to be a pirate, a swordsman, a chef) ? like how they'd treat him, what they feel about him, et cetera... ! thank u if u do take on this request n i hope u have a good day <3
Tumblr media
★ WITH A LITTLE BROTHER FIGURE WHO WANTS TO BE LIKE THEM! headcanons ★
── featuring. luffy. zoro. sanji.
── cw. m!reader. no pronouns used. familial pairings. implied younger reader. slight marineford and whole cake island spoilers. mentions of getting injured. me rambling again. not proofread.
── notepad. i just think each of them would make such great older brothers, even though some are more reckless than others.
Tumblr media
★ MONKEY D. LUFFY ★
── now the idea of having a younger brother has never really crossed his mind. he has always been among the youngest in his family
── but when you come along, seemingly out of nowhere, he’s so excited. but when you express that you too want to be a pirate, he’s ecstatic, he’s quite literally over the moon
── since you want to be a pirate like him he’s going to take you along with him and you’re going to be the first straw hat. how did the two of you even manage to make it out alive, no one knows
── luffy is the bad influence brother. he’s going to have you jumping right into the face of danger with no regard for safety whatsoever
── safety is not in his vocabulary
── luffy feels the need to be the cooler older brother to you in the way that ace and sabo were to him so that you can keep respecting him and thinking he’s the coolest big brother ever
── your opinion of him matters much more than you would think. if he ever found out you didn’t think he was cool anymore, he would burst into tears
── he knows you can handle your own and he would never get in your way. however, he can be a bit protective of you and is prone to worrying about you. if you disappear for even more than five seconds in a battle, he starts to get anxious
── he’s already lost one brother, and he is terrified to lose another one
Tumblr media
★ RORONOA ZORO ★
── zoro doesn’t have any siblings [ that we know of ] so he didn’t really have someone to show him how to be a brother. there are a million other people out there he could easily be your older brother figure, why in the world would even consider him, he thinks to himself
── when you approach him and say that you want to follow in his footsteps and be a swordsman, he supports you
── he saw a bit of himself in you. it was like looking in a mirror at his younger self
── he becomes your first teacher and a very harsh one at that. maybe a bit too harsh sometimes
── he struggles at being soft with his words and comforting you. he gives you his critiques and they end up sounding just like insults. you were starting to lose not only your confidence but also your interest. could you really even be a swordsman if you couldn’t even do this simple move without falling over and almost hurting yourself?
── your insecurities become too much when you almost get yourself killed trying to use a sword in battle after zoro told you that you weren’t ready.
── he never lost his cool with you. but that day, he did. as he was yelling at you, it was all too much and you just ran and hid in the library on the sunny. while talking with robin, he realized that he shouldn’t have yelled at you, that you were just trying to help out.
── when he found you crying, he felt awful. watching you try to hide your face and wipe away your tears because it was weakness and swordsmen weren’t weak, cut deep. that’s not what he wanted to teach you at all :(
── he apologizes to you and confesses that, he was just scared of losing you. he opens up to you about his past, showing you wado ichimonji, and just how much this sword meant to him. never did he ever want to lose someone close to him again.
── with time and very intense training of his own [ training meaning being threatened by nami that if he ever made you cry again, she’d throw him overboard ], he became a better instructor and older brother to you
Tumblr media
★ VINSMOKE SANJI ★
── with his complicated relationship with his brothers, sanji isn’t exactly looking to be someone’s big brother. even when you show up with those curious sparkles in your eyes
── though when you express interest in cooking, he’s more than happy to teach you the ropes to impress the ladies. ladies love a man who cares about their family, don’t they?
── he first teaches you the basics, the essentials, everything you need to know as a beginner, and simple but delicious recipes that you can cook for yourself. when he feels that you’re ready, he will slowly move on to more difficult techniques and recipes
── such as using a knife and cutting things correctly. you may have ended up cutting yourself a few times, it’s a painful part of the process, he tells you as he tends to your cuts and scrapes.
── sometimes the dishes that you worked hard on end up all weird and not at all how you imagined them. or sometimes they just end up burnt, leaving the kitchen with an awful smell
── sanji is just proud of you for not giving up. he admired your determination and independence…though he wishes you would let him help you sometimes. as your big brother that’s part of his job description. and so you wouldn’t dirty up so many dishes
── and as his younger brother, it’s in your job description to help him pick up ladies by making him look like the best older brother ever
── but it never works in the way that he hopes it will. so you just end up getting all the attention for the pretty women while he just sulks because that was supposed to be him

Hello I just saw that you take request so I wanted to take a swing at it.
Can I have a Luffy X (fem) Reader, The crew if fighting (you can chose) and during this battle Reader can see that Luffy needs help so being the person she is she rushes in to help. But doing that ends up getting them both very hurt, and as they lay on the ground reader and Luffy turns to each other and that when Reader confesses to him.
What happens next is up to you, thank you for your time.
Not just as a friend.
Pairings ; Monkey D. Luffy × fem!reader
Tumblr media
Type ; angsty to fluff, romance
Warnings ; little angsty i guess?? With the nsture of the request, noth of them get very hurt and reader cries. this takes place before luffy and the crew gets like too strong! Obvious fighting, luffy is really ooc sorry
Sorry i really am having trouble with writing the requests, writers block is hitting even though i just started being a writer 😭 again, im sorry for the wait but please be patient with me!
The crew was at battle with some other pirate crew, one that was a little bit stronger than the straw hats, enough to give you guys quite some difficulty. Your specialty wasn't too much on fighting, but you could still fight decently. Everyone was fighting a pirate of their own or working in a duo, you were left with fighting one of the weaker pirates.
The pirate was easily dealt with, just with a little scratches. Once the pirate was done and knocked out, you looked over at your friends and your captain, Luffy. Who you may or may not have had feelings for. The entire straw hat crew knew it too, other than Luffy of course he was just that oblivious. But it's not like you told the straw hats of your feelings for Luffy, you were kind of just obvious and they asked and teased you about it often.
From what you could see, the rest of your friends were dealing with their opponents with some trouble, but Luffy seemed like he was having the most trouble dealing with the enemy crew's captain. Like a lot of trouble.
So quickly you began running to him, trying to offer him some help. Sweat dripping off your face from the previous fight and added anxiety since the enemy captain seemed quite strong. You could obviously see Luffy was struggling with this fight, and you wanna help as much as you can.
The enemy captain was much stronger than you had anticipated, he was giving both you and Luffy a lot of trouble. He got Luffy really injured and you looked over at the other Straw Hats, it seemed like they were all having trouble and wouldn't be able to help for a while.
As you looked back at Luffy, you see him as he gets hit and flown really hard into the distance, not too far away though, "Luffy!" You yelled out, hoping the rubber boy wasn't too hurt. You turn around to the captain, knowing you wouldn't be able to defeat him by yourself.
You try holding out against the enemy as long as you can by yourself, leading you to get very injured while you pray that your crew-mates would be able to help you,
The enemy captain hits you hard as well and blows you away, into the same direction as Luffy. The blow really injured both you and Luffy, and your friends took notice of that. By then, they had finished dealing with their opponents and they rushed to deal with the captain.
Meanwhile, you and Luffy were laid on the floor, trying to get up but at that moment, both of you were too injured to do anything. With you even more injured. Everything hurts so much, you thought to yourself as tears welled up in your eyes.
You managed to bring yourself up to slowly walk over to Luffy, really wanting to see if he was alright. "Luffy?" You lowly ask, crying from the pain and being worried. You lay down beside him, "are you alright y/n?" Luffy asks, using his hand to wipe your tears.
You nod, lying as you mumble, "mhm. I'm so glad you're not dead." The last sentence, wasn't a lie though. The tears keep flowing and you try to stop, but you can't. You cry as you give Luffy a soft smile, staring into his concerned eyes. Luffy really did care about you, more than anyone else on the crew,
"i really love you Luffy, you know that?" You lowly confess to him as an evident blush forms with your smile, you watch as Luffy gives you his signature big grin, "I love you too y/n!"
Your smile grows even bigger, as the tears flowing turn into happy tears instead as he says, "I wasn't sure of my feelings y/n, but Robin helped me realize that I love you, and not just in a friend way!" He confesses, smiling as he's confirming that he doesn't just love you as a friend.
Oh my god i hate this like i really hate this im sorry its so bad?? Like i have no idea how to end this and im just unsatisfied with the entire post as it is, im sorry its no good! I really wanna make this better but i dont know how too 😭 Luffy is literally so ooc and i hate this im sorry i couldnt write the request that good, writers block just hitting me way too hard right now.

Tumblr media
elo anon! when i first read that i was like 'damn that's sad' so then i proceeded to write something very sad :D.
forethoughts: this one's kind of darker than my normal ones. yeah. the tone's just sad. did my heart break when i wrote it? i mean. it feels kinda out of pocket for luffy, but 🤷
notes: do i feel bad? maybe. but sometimes requests are sad. 🤭
[drinking the tears of my readers while deciding if i want to do a part two or not 😁]

Life as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates was never bland. Sometimes you would wake up in the middle of a fight against the marines, or wake up to the sound of Sanji fighting Zoro over something stupid again. Nevertheless, everyday was a new adventure with its own sets of challenges, but nevertheless, you wouldn’t ask for another life.
After all, you were the future King of the Pirates’ girlfriend.
You loved Luffy more than Luffy loved meat, and you stood behind that bold claim. Everyday was filled with adrenaline and anxiety for you, as Luffy would find charging recklessly into battle the best thing to do. He always came out alive; he’s Monkey D. Luffy after all, but you always worried about his health and wellbeing. With enough cuddles and kisses, Luffy would always subdue your worries about him, but it always was a thought in your head that chewed at you. Another thing was that Luffy was a very passionate boy. Sure, he may be an airhead and a bit obtuse at times, but he had his own paradigm of morals he followed, and you respected the hell out of him for that. He always thought about you, considered your feelings, always putting your life in front of his.
He was the most caring person you knew.
He would never do anything to break your heart.
“I’m kicking you out of the Straw Hat Pirates.” 
You stared at him, your heart dropping. Your legs began to wobble, barely able to support your body as you stared at him with a look of disbelief, a hesitant smile on your face.
“W-What are you saying, Luffy? Luffy, this isn’t a funny joke!” You say. Everyone around you began to stir too, once they heard Luffy’s words. All of you were in the galley, just finishing your breakfast.
“You heard me.” Luffy stared at you with the blankest look he’s ever given to you; you didn’t even know he could be that stoic. “I’m kicking you out of the crew. You’ll get off once we reach the next island. Oi, Nami, how long until we reach the next island?”
Nami stood up in disbelief and complete anger, storming towards Luffy as she smacked him on the back of his head, to the point Luffy stumbled and fell onto the ground. “What are you talking about Luffy?! This isn’t a funny joke! You can’t just kick Y/N out!”
Luffy simply stood back up, looking at Nami. “Yes I can. I’m the captain.”
“She’s your girlfriend!” “Oh. Right.” Luffy stared at you. “We’re breaking up too.”
“Luffy!” Nami smacked him again. 
“W-Wha.. W-wha..” You stammered, your legs going wobbly, probably going out if there wasn’t a reassuring hand on your shoulder. 
“Luffy, I don’t think this is the smartest decision to make. Can you explain your thoughts? You cannot simply kick Y/N out for no reason other than ‘I just can.’” Robin said, placing both of her hands on your shoulders, trying to reassure you.
“Yes I can, Robin. I’m the captain.” Luffy stated again.
“That’s not a good reason. By that logic, you can kick any one of us out at any moment simply by your mood.”
Luffy stared at the archaeologist, clenching his teeth. “Shut up, Robin, this is my decision.”
The sound of pans hitting each other silenced the room, turning everyone’s attention to the cook. Sanji stared at Luffy, taking his cigarette out of his mouth. “Oi, Luffy, don’t tell Robin-chan to shut up. You’re being very impolite. And I agree with Robin-chan, you cannot simply do what you want based on your mood. That means all of us are liable to just go at any moment.”
Luffy balled his fists. “Shut up, Sanji! I don’t need to explain myself! I’m the captain! Next island! You’re getting off! If I see you on the ship, I’ll… I’ll…”
Luffy let out a frustrated noise, stomping towards the exit of the galley. Before he could swing the door open and slam it, a single blade with a white handle blocked him. 
“Luffy…” Zoro said, keeping the Wado Ichimonji in between the captain and the door. “If you walk out this door, that means everything Robin and cook says are true. A captain that kicks out his crew members based on his mood. If this is all a joke to you, cut it out. Go apologize to Y/N. If this is not a joke, then you were never fit to be a captain. I don’t care if you’re an airhead and easygoing, but if you decide to kick Y/N out right now because ‘you said so’, the Straw Hats were never meant to be a successful crew.”
Luffy glared at Zoro, his fists and toes clenched. Zoro shot back the same stoic look he always had. While Zoro was calm and still, Luffy looked like a dynamite about to explode. His body was shaking, his skin turning red. It wasn’t Gear 2 level red, quite close.
“Fight me if you want to. You’re only proving my point.” Zoro added.
Silence filled the room. Silence that was so fragile, you were scared that if it broke, everyone would be affected and harmed.
“L-Luffy…” You call out with a shaky voice, taking a hesitant step towards the boy you onced called your lover. Breaking the silent atmosphere caused all eyes to be on you. But with Robin’s hand on your shoulder, she stopped you from moving any further, keeping you close to her body.
“Y/N… please, let us do this.” Robin said. You looked around, and realized she was right. Every Straw Hat looked like they were ready for a fight, or to make some comment about Luffy’s statement.
“N-No.” You brushed Robin’s hand off of your shoulder, taking a bigger step towards the ‘captain’ of the ship.
“Luffy… look at me.” While your entire body was shaking, filled with disbelief, sadness and a tinge of betrayal, your voice was firm.
You watched the captain turn his head around, the straw hat covering his eyes. 
“Is this what you want, Luffy? Do you want to see my heart break? Do you want to see me cry, luffy? because it is, and I will. Is this what you want, luffy? to see your girlfriend cry? Is that what you want?”
No response.
“Fine… fine… this is what you want, isn’t it? You never loved me. You never saw me like I saw you, if you’re so adamant on kicking me out.”
No response.
“Tell me, Luffy, is this what you really want? Tell me, and I'll leave. I'll go, and I won't come back. That's what you want, isn’t it? to never see me again?”
No response.
You scoff at the boy, whose body was shaking, his head hung and fists clenched. You wiped your tears with your arm, staring at the boy you once called your lover.
“Fine. I hope you’re happy, captain.” you brushed your shoulder against him, purposefully making him stumble before storming towards the door. Zoro sheathed his sword, letting out kick the door open and slam it shut.
“Y/N, wait!” Nami cried, running towards the door. Zoro let her pass too, as well as Robin and everyone else who wanted to comfort you. This left Luffy alone with Zoro, all at his mercy.
At the sound of the door finally closing, Luffy collapsed onto the ground, his knees hitting the wooden floorboards as he sobbed. He sobbed and cried, until there was nothing but small hiccups and grunts of frustration.
“Now, do you want to tell me what’s really happening?” the right hand man asked.
“She hates me. She hates me. She hates me.” the captain repeated to himself.
“Luffy.”
The boy took a deep breath, before standing up, meeting Zoro's gaze.
“Alright, i’ll tell you… but don't tell anyone else, okay?”
“Just tell me.”
The captain took a deep breath. “Yesterday…”

You Make Everything Better
Tumblr media
Wattpad request Rebelmicheleamidala - Rip and the girl reader spend the evening at home on the couch just enjoying the night together cuddling
Kicking off my boots at the front door I sighed feeling completely tired from the long day with Kayce in the livestock commissioners office. I told him I would help him out since my father was the sheriff and I was a close friend to his family. Walking into the living room of our cabin I saw my husband Rip sitting on the couch with a beer in his hand. “Hey darling, how was work?”
“Exhausting…” I grumbled dropping my shoulders stumbling over to him like I was slightly drunk even though I wasn’t. Flopping down beside him on the couch I covered my face with my hands. “I honestly might call in tomorrow even though Kayce will not like it.”
Rip moved his head so he was staring down at me with his fingers beginning to run through my hair. “I’m sorry Y/n. Is there anything I can do?”
Burying my face against his shirt I sighed in relief. “I just want to cuddle…because everything on my body hurts and I’m too tired.”
Rip and I had started dating when I took an internship in my father’s police department. I came by the ranch one day to check out what exactly happened on the family’s home. Somehow Rip and I just clicked with one another and became a romantic couple. “That I can help you with…” He mumbles kissing the crown of my head wrapping his arms around my waist.
“Do you remember the first time we went and spent the weekend at the summer camp and I came screaming about a snake in my tent.” I chuckled breaking the silence with us watching the fire burning in front of us.
“I thought you we’re gonna crawl up my back and never come down.” He added on sitting his beer on the table on the side of the couch.
Turning my head around to him I still couldn’t believe he wouldn’t take me seriously about it. “Rip, it was a huge snake. And I’m sorry that I trusted that you wouldn’t make fun of me about it two years later.”
“It wasn’t that big of a snake. And I ain’t judging you. I just think you crawling on my back like a monkey was a bit much.” He held his hands up in surrender.
Rolling my eyes at him I avoided his gaze. “Fine maybe. But I can’t help that I’m afraid of snakes and you’re this tough cowboy.”
“Hey now. You are the strongest person I know. You can get on a horse that needs broken In when the rest of us are too scared to even go near one. You also don’t mind pushing through those bad days in the office instead of just coming home crying. You find a solution to something. Plus name one other person on this ranch that isn’t afraid to face off against Beth Dutton when she’s ready to fight someone.” Rip explained turning my chin with his thumb until I was looking him directly in the eye.
Shrugging my shoulders I smiled weakly at him figuring he was right. “Yeah I guess so. Plus Beth can be a handful sometimes. But thanks for making me feel better about the whole scars of snakes thing. You’re a good boyfriend.”
Rip leans forward kissing my forehead before he goes to stand up offering me his hand in the process. Putting my hand in his I yawned lightly while he led me into our bedroom of the cabin John had given us. “Anything for you, honey. You make things better for when I’ve had a long day so I’ll always do the same for you.”
“Same here. You always make my day cowboy.” He crawled underneath the covers removing his hat and boots with me removing my cowgirl hat too hanging it on the door hook. “Good night, Rip.”
He wrapped his arms around my waist falling asleep immediately. “Night Y/n.” Laying my head on his chest I finally let the stress of the work week go away and just enjoy the evening at home with my boyfriend. Because he always seemed to know how to help me.
Comments really appreciated ❤️

One Piece Shipping War - Round 2 Side D
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut.
Propaganda for Shanks x Buggy:
What if we were childhood friends who gave up our drama for each other then never saw each other again for years
What can I say, I'm a fellow shuggy truther too 🤝
Shanks obviously adores Buggy, and Buggy is so tsundure~! Mr 'I hate Shanks'-but-will-take-every-opportunity-to-talk-about-him-and-be-with-him.
Oden says in his journal that he can't tell if they're friends of enemies, and I just love that. Plus when you add in the revelation about Shanks and Buggy in the recent chapters.
They're childhood friends. They're exes. They've been married for 20 years. They're opposites. They're the same. They're silly goofy guys who make me want to cry my heart out. Red/Blue is always meant to be.
Buggy """""HATES""""" Shanks. This hate is so strong that he WILL yell at this red-haired bastard despite the fact that he is a coward, who is terrified of all the Emperors. Everyone thinks this is strange. However, when you grow up with said Emperor on the same boat, watching him stumble over his feet as he's trying to learn to use a sword, stuck scrubbing the whole deck because he was stupid enough to prank "Dark King" Rayleigh, and make that same stupid pouty face every time his Conqueror's Haki doesn't do anything because he is an itty bitty child, most of that fear gets pretty quelled. Also, that same fucker lost an arm because he's a DUMBASS and he deserves to be made fun of for it (not because Buggy is worried and missed him not at all no no Shanks is just DUMB and needs to be TOLD he is dumb more. But just by Buggy. Because Buggy has known his idiocy forever. He has earned the right to yell at this stupid, stupid Emperor for being a self-sacrificing fool and for giving away that stupid hat and... Wait, hang on, when did this bastard get hot!? WHAT THE FUC-) And Shanks just keeps smiling at Buggy and his antics because he has 100% been in love with him since they were children (his actions while they were on the Roger pirates are the DEFINITION of pigtail-pulling as flirting) and he is just happy to see that he's safe while being exactly the same larger-than-life clown he always knew. He would gladly give up his life of sluttery (that I am convinced this man has. Just look at how he exists) if Buggy would just agree to join his crew, but will not push him if he doesn't want to. He just loves his pretty clown from a distance and waits. TLDR: Buggy is mad that he's in love with Shanks and Shanks just likes existing with and/or annoying Buggy (they come as a pair). GOD I just love childhood friends to lovers bro. Just let the cabin boys kiss.
[Spoiler Warning] Red and Blue gays! Emperor husbands! Childhood friends to enemies to lovers!
Propaganda for Shanks x Benn:
Daddies hot
A (somewhat) idiot captain, and a calm, cool and collected first mate! Oda literally stated that if Shanks was the sun, then Benn would be his moon. They balance each other out very nicely and I know that one will always take care of the other.
Classic captain/first mate ship. Beckman got all white hair at 50 for dealing with Shanks I know that. There's a part in film Red when Beckman calls Uta "our daughter" that activated my monkey brain.
Your honor they are married! The domestic fluff is all there. Benn loves his captain even though he is a handful and is always there to support him. Shanks has also followed in his parents footsteps and honoring the tradition of falling in love with your first mate. But I mean honestly can you blame him. Plus they raised a kid together!
SHANKSBENN!

Ok hear me out ! Imagine Luffy falling for Buggy kid XD maybe reader was sailing alone to start their old crew only to join luffy’s crew how do you think Buggy would react that he’s kid is with stawhat , gosh I just see Shanks teasing him 🤣
a/n - right when I saw this. my purpose has been found 🫡 PLS THIS WOULD BE SO HILARIOUS OMG- TYSM FOR THE AWESOME REQUEST ANON YOU’VE BRIGHTENED MY DAY 😭😭😭💜💜
Warnings ⚠️ - g/n reader, chaos
Tumblr media
- Buggy was so proud that you’d set out alone to find your own crew!
- of course he’s a bit worried about your safety, but you had to literally beg him not to send one of his crew with you lmao
- you had to pinch his nose to get him to shut up about all the dangers out at sea
- “Dad. You’ve never followed those rules.”
- …
- “.. w-well! That doesn’t mean I can’t tell you to tell me to follow them right?!”
- “Uh- captain that doesn’t make sense-“
- “SHUT UP!”
- According to Buggy, no, he didn’t cry when you set off to sea
- according to his crew? um.. Let’s just say there was a flood on deck lmao
- you’re his only kid
- Ofc he’s gonna protect you as much as he can
- When you were born, his whole treasure obsession rlly changed, and he focused on you :)
- You promised him that you’d be back sometime!
- He was really happy about that, but got embarrassed when everyone was looking at him 😭
- It was on the sea where you met the guy who would change everything
- strawhat, scar, and quite an.. appetite
- Monkey D. Luffy
- The captain of the strawhat pirates
- Being raised by a strong pirate was enough to give you all the training you needed!
- you were already well-prepared to fight and do whatever you needed to do
- something about you was.. unique to Luffy
- why was he drawn to you?
- he had only just met you and he found himself staring at you
- he had no idea what to do! He’s never felt this way after all!
- it was the little things that gave it away to you
- He’d ask if you wanted to go explore with him! He always asked you first
- He’d share some meat with you, and will try his VERY HARDEST to refrain from taking yours
- But when you feed him some of it, it makes his whole life just a bit brighter than before
- He gives you his hat sometimes!
- AND- he will ride on your shoulders to surprise you lmao
- if he falls asleep, he usually dozes off on your shoulder :)
- you were falling for this rubber man, how could you not?
- it was just- perfect
- back to buggy
- Buggy was flipping through some of the new bounty posters, and he stumbled upon Luffy’s
- He scoffed with anger, throwing it angrily out of his hands, the next bounty he landed on made his eyes widen
- “Y/n?!”
- Man was shook
- His little y/n who had only set out to sea a couple months ago already had a bounty of 90,000,000?!
- he smiled proudly, showing all of his crew and bragging about you to them
- “See?? I never doubted y/n! I wasn’t even worried!”
- “captain. You were crying earlier about y/n-san..”
- *inaudible struggling from buggy the clown*
- “Captain! That looks like Strawhat behind y/n! Look!”
- Buggy squinted carefully at the poster, and he started screeching at the top of his lungs
- Suddenly, a den den mushi started ringing, and he stomped over to pick it up
- “Is this Buggy’s ship?” A familiar voice asked
- “Y/n?!”
- “Hey dad! I joined a pirate crew! Did you see my bounty??”
- Buggy couldn’t help but smile at your excitement, he always loved to see you so happy
- “Yeah I did, but why’s strawhat in the background?? Do you need help? You know I can beat any pirate in seconds!”
- “Oh! Luffy, say hi to my dad. I’m with Luffy and his crew now! I love him a lot :)”
- Buggy almost dropped the poor fucking snail
- “Oh!! Hey Buffooon!” -Luffy
- “IT’S BUGGY YOU ASSHOLE! WHY ARE YOU WITH MY KID?!”
- “Huh???? I love y/n! You can’t have her back! Blehhhhhh!” Luffy was literally sticking his tongue out at a snail 💀
Tumblr media
- I don’t think buggy had ever been this infuriated before, with Luffy not you
- you never knew of your dad’s past struggles with this guy
- right before he could even say a word, the line disconnected, meaning the snail on the other end was interrupted
- Buggy had to literally take 4 deep breaths to keep himself from imploding 😭
- shanks managed to catch word of this (shanks knows all the tea- 💅)
- “ABAHHAHAAHAHAH! WOW BUGGY! NOW YOUR KID EVEN LIKES HIM AHSBHSBH!”
- shanks wasn’t sober at all
- I don’t think he ever is
- he made fun of Buggy for the rest of the month before Shanks got busy with government stuff
- Still, buggy was frustrated that his mortal enemy, Monkey D. luffy,
- was your fucking boyfriend
Tumblr media
a/n - I always resort to writing random buggy things bec he makes me so happy 😭
<3

Jet Skis On The Moat - an analysis
So, given that Glastonbury proved, to me, that Jet Skis on the Moat has some sort of significance to Alex, given his rant about wanting a hole filled with water so he could make a splash, then starting the Star Treatment ‘rap’ on I Wanna Be Yours with ‘I Just wanted a Jet Ski for the Moat’. Following on from @blacktrickle’s Sculptures analysis that it is about wanting to come out, and Jet Skis is a sort of follow on from that…I am going to do my own analysis.
Of course, as usual, with Alex, this is all supposition, he could literally be singing about anything. Or just have thrown some words together and thought they were pretty. But hey, deciphering his songs are good fun. So, I am going to throw my hat into the ring.
Jet Skis on the Moat
They Shot it all in Cinemascope
As though it’s the last time
You’re gonna ride
Okay, so the idea is that Jet Skis on the Moat is meaningless in itself, but it symbolises this ideal world Alex wants to live in with his lover. An idea that is as far-fetched idea as having a jet ski on a moat.
Showstoppers Anonymous
Come over here and give your buddy a hug
So much for deciding not to let it slide.
This is where my theory comes in that this song is possibly about being reunited with Miles
Showstoppers Anonymous – the whole EYCTE tour was showstopping. We saw a completely different side to Alex, the shows were wild and outrageous, like nothing you’ve seen before.
Come over here and give your buddy a hug – this could be taken two ways. Part of the TLSP shows was the hugging between Miles and Alex, but it could also be related to a reunion. Alex and Miles’ relationship started out as friendship and I would like to think they will always be buddies.
So much for deciding not to let it slide – I think this is Alex talking to himself. Possibly at the end of the EYCTE tour, he promised not to let their relationship go. But instead, he let it slide. Possibly through fear of coming out, or mental exhaustion or his commitment to the Monkeys to produce another album (I will analyse TBHC another day).
Is there something on your mind
or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries?
When it’s over you’re supposed to know
Is there something on your mind? Or are you just happy to watch while the paint job dries? - Paint job = something that is covered with paint. Something that is covered up. Could the something on his mind be the fact that he is bisexual, but he is happy just to sit back and let it all be covered up.
When it’s over you’re supposed to know - there will be a time when it is all over for AM, or he doesn’t feel the pressure to maintain his sex symbol status and can be his true self.
Lights out on the Wonder Park
Your saw tooth lover boy was quick off the mark
That’s long enough in the sunshine for one night
The Wonder Park could represent the shared memories. Saw-toothed means something that rises and falls and is alternate. This could represent Alex’s bisexuality. ‘Quick off the mark/That’s long enough in the sunshine for one night’ could this mean he instigated sex quickly and they had a one-night stand? The majority of the EYCTE tour took place in the summer, and it is when I believe their relationship was at its most intense. To sleep together for one night would be a reminder of that sunshine.
Didn’t recognise you through the smoke
Pyjama pants and Subbuteo cloak
You know that it’s alright if you wanna cry
This paints quite a sad scene. It could be Alex talking to Miles or Miles talking to Alex. The line Pyjama Pants and Subbuteo cloak, conjures up the image of someone who has perhaps let themselves go a little, living in their pyjamas, the Subbuteo cloak could be something as simple as a green blanket they have wrapped around themselves. The home is filled with smoke (both Miles and Alex are smokers).
You know it’s alright if you wanna cry - Self explanatory.
Is there something on your mind
Or are you just happy to sit there and watch while the paint job dries
Ad when it’s over you’re supposed to know
Jet skis on the moat,
The shot it all in cinemascope
As though it’s the last time you’re gonna ride
Like Sculptures of Anything Goes, where Alex dreams of his life with his lover in the last verse, but the last line is ‘I’ll Sing A Tune’, in other words he goes back to the life he is living where he sings and pretends to be something he isn’t. Same with Jet Skis. After his reunion with Miles, he goes back to his life of dreaming of a better future.
As I said, this is all supposition, but after Glastonbury, I maintain my idea that this song means something personal to Alex.
I would love to hear your thoughts...

Tell Me That You Love Me (I’ll Never Ask You Why)
Ao3
One Piece, One-Shot, Teen, 3557 Words
Post-Wano, Trafalgar Law/ Monkey D. Luffy, first-kiss
Summary: After Wano in a nameless port town, two captains reunite. Not all alliances are the same.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's no time to cry
You wanna see a world without pain
Take a swim in the river
We could fly higher than high
Light headed, I know you're a sightseer
Can I see your mind, no I can't
Wanna read your mind, but I can't
I don't feel alive, but I am
Make me feel alive, I know you can
Onyx- Odette, 2018
“Ah.”
They utter it at the same time. Luffy, as he always was, perched on that lion figurehead looking down with a grin wider than the space of his cheeks had vacancy for. Law, as he always was, Kikoku notched at his shoulder, face turned towards the sun, towards Luffy.
“What are you doing here?” Luffy asks and Law frowns, beaten in asking the question himself. The docks of some no name port-town bustle about them. Them, their crews, their ships, separated by a paltry dock and lapping waves.
“I could ask you the same thing, Straw Hat-ya.” Law responds dryly, “I’m pretty sure I told you leaving Wano if we met again I would kill you.”
“Our alliance is over, Straw Hat-ya.” Luffy recites, his impression of Law is seamless on his own face, before it shatters with a grin. White wavebreak lines, laughter ringing out from his mouth, his throat, his stomach and soul, “You sure did! Bet you feel awkward now, huh?”
It had been a month since they left Wano. Four measly weeks didn’t quite wash all the time Law spent among the Straw Hat crew from his pores. He still wakes sometimes in the night thinking he hears Luffy’s snoring. He still bends over his plate, hand raised in defense of Luffy’s quick fingers when eating. Still closes his eyes and sees the impression of Luffy over him, blocking Doflamingo’s foot from bashing Law’s face in on the back of his eyelids. To see Luffy again, so suddenly, so surprisingly, isn’t awkward in the slightest.
“Hm.” Law hums. He doesn’t smile, not really. Whatever tugs at the corner of his mouth is out of his control, but it’s enough for Luffy. “Please tell me Kidd isn’t here, too. We drew straws for a reason.”
“Haven’t seen Jaggy since Wano.” Luffy confirms, rising to his feet. The wind off the bay catches the tails of his coat, deep red with gold thread. Law’s breath catches in his chest at the sight, lungs blooming. Pressing his ribcage until it aches with emotion as Luffy’s hand comes down on that crown made of straw, “So, are you going to kill me here on the dock?” A frown mars Luffy’s face in thought as he looks out at the port with it’s little shops and little people.The little lives going about their day, unknowing that two of the world’s most dangerous men stood deciding whether they were about to raze an entire town in combat, “I dunno, these people have been really nice to us. Hate to ruin their day.”
Law rolls his eyes, adjusting his sword. Pinky finger lifting off the hilt, back down, current rolling through the rest of his grip. He puts on a expression of mock-consideration, “Well, we did just dock. Probably should let my crew stretch their legs first before I make a mess.”
“Good idea,” Luffy nods, eyes sparkling with amusement that Law mirrors with a shake of his head. With a running leap, his shadow skates over water, over Law, before he lands with barely more than a soft tap of both his feet at Law’s side, “I was getting hungry.”
“Oh?” Law says. Kikoku moves from one shoulder to the other. Making room for Luffy to stand close. Not touching, they hadn’t touched really since Dressrosa, but the heat of Luffy’s sunwarm skin feels like a palm resting on his side, “That wasn’t an invitation to eat together.”
“Who says we’re eating together?” Luffy tosses back with ease as they walk. Law’s stride shortening and his quickening so they can walk side by side. Footfalls on wood to footfalls on cobblestone. “Do you have money to pay for food?” Law asks, already suspecting the answer. Luffy’s eyes slide to him, full of humor.
“Nope!” He says brightly, bumping his shoulder against Law’s arm, “Guess you’ll have to buy me lunch, Trao.”
Law tugs at the brim of his cap, pulls it low and levels his voice, “Whatever. Where is your crew, anyway?”
“Dunno, they each went off in a different direction.”
“Didn’t go with them?”
“Nah, wanted to take a nap.” A child sprints past with loose shoelaces. Splats belly-down on the ground, his toy flinging into Luffy’s path. Luffy plucks the toy, then the child off the ground without pause. Setting them to the side. The kid looks up at Luffy, at the captain’s coat and the pure, unadulterated power that radiates from Luffy’s core. Awe before worship. Law is a witness to the new convert at Luffy’s door, “Good thing I did. Would’ve missed you if I hadn’t stuck around.”
“Lucky me.” Law deadpans and it makes Luffy laugh. They walk until a raucous pub catches Luffy’s attention. Drinkers and smokers and sailors spilling out of the doors chased by the smell of cooking meat. There is laughter inside. Singing and fighting above din of conversation. A siren song for Luffy. Law looks at it with mild disdain, but Luffy tugs him in by the elbow. They find a spot at a corner table on the second floor landing. Balcony seats to the excitement below. The barmaid is a young girl of fifteen, she rattles off the food specials to them while serving the table next to them. Law orders a pint of whatever was on tap and whatever was caught fresh that morning. Luffy orders everything else. The girl looks frazzled at the request, but takes their orders and sails off towards the kitchen.
Law crosses his legs, stretching them long under the table, invading Luffy’s territory, “No sympathy for my wallet, Straw Hat-ya?”
“Oh, so you are buying me lunch?” Luffy grins back and Law blinks, before delivering a swift kick to Luffy’s shin. Luffy dodges it, hooks his foot over the top of Law’s legs and leaves it there. Neither of them mention it. “Besides,” Luffy adds, “Not like you are paying with your own money.”
Law tilts his head, not in confirmation. After so many years on the streets, Law knew better than to self-incriminate. The knowledge of being caught is there already, he'll wait until Luffy proves it. Luffy snorts, reaching into the basket of nuts and starting to crack the shell. He's being polite today, Law has seen him eat them before, casing and all. “The guy by the door, the big one with the scar. You filched his wallet on the way in when he bumped into you."
"Impressive." Law reaches into his jacket and draws out a leather wallet, worn with age. He flips it open and starts pulling out the cash inside. Counts it into piles, enough for the meal, even including the seconds and thirds Luffy was sure to order, and also a tip for the waitress. In the change purse there is a collection of coins. Half berris and half local currency. Law plucks his favorite. Silver with the insignia of a ram, aged 130 years. Luffy watches him, cheeks puffed in chewing. Law twists his hand and in a pop the wallet is gone. A rock lands in his hand and Law deposits it on the table next to the cash and coin. “No one has ever caught me before.”
Law folds the cash and pushes it into his pocket for later.
“Yer no’ a’ gud a’ ‘ami.”
Law grimaces, “Please chew before you speak.”
Luffy swallows in one big gulp, “You’re not as good as Nami. Sabo was— wait— is better than both of you combined. I could never catch him. He tried to teach me when we were younger, but I was no good at it.”
“Easier to punch a guy, I assume.”
Luffy shrugs, picking up the coin from the table and twisting it in his hands, “More straight-forward. Pick-pocketing didn’t do much if every mark around you was just as poor as you were. Better to hit and run.”
“Sure.” Law says, before drawing Luffy’s gaze with a turn of his head, “But not as satisfying.”
The man is pulling out his wallet, still in his back pocket where he had placed it hours before entering the pub. He opens it while laughing. Law and Luffy watch as the man’s laughter dies in his throat upon finding only spare change. Not nearly enough to pay for the several pints of beer that lay empty on the table. His drinking pals groan as he sputters, the barmaid looking on without sympathy as the rest of them dig through their pockets to pay for their friend. Luffy watches the events unfold, amused, “Funny. Though, I think you’ve never landed a really good punch, have you?”
Law holds up one hand, fingers spreading the letters inked into the skin wide. With a twist of his wrist, the coin abandons Luffy’s grasp and is between his pointer and middle finger, “Spent a lot of money on these tattoos, wouldn’t want to ruin them."
"Hadn't thought of that." Luffy admits, staring at the coin. Or at Law's hand. It was hard to tell in the low light of the pub. He holds his own hand up in examination, "Guess it would be dumb for me to get tattoos on my hands. I mess them up all the time."
Law had never taken the time to look at Luffy's hands. Those hands that held him, carrying him through the streets of Dressrosa. He looks now, the excuse given so freely. Takes it greedily, takes it as far as grabbing it so he can examine it in the light. Luffy's hands are the hands of a brawler. Swollen knuckles and a comet of scars mauling the bone and skin. A ganglion cyst sits puffed right above the joint of his thumb. His nails are groomed and clean. Little islands in a sea of healed over cartilage.
“No,” Law says low, letting go of Luffy’s hand so that he doesn’t do something stupid like slot his own fingers between them. His arms come to cross over his chest, “You probably couldn’t sit still long enough for the artist to get a needle on you.”
The waitress returns with their drinks in hand. Behind her was another barmaid, older with a twisted braid falling over her shoulder. Loaded down with plates and plates of food. Luffy cheers as food is set down on the table. Immediately digging into a turkey leg still sizzling with hot oil used to fry it. Yelping when he burns his tongue but eating through the pain. Law nods his thanks to the barmaid, who blushes a pretty pink and giggles. She leaves in a flurry and Law takes a bite of his grilled trout. Looking up he catches Luffy staring after the girl, a rope of turkey skin between his teeth.
“Trao, do you like girls?”
Law coughs around his fork, reaching for his beer to swallow it down. Luffy is watching him, still chewing but the question is there on his plate. Law wipes his mouth, playing for time. Luffy waits. “Um,” Law says ineloquently, “I— why do you want to know?”
Luffy frowns, “That’s not an answer.”
“Neither is that.”
“Neither is that times infinity.”
“You—” Law gapes, rubbing his temple, “How old are you?”
“Older than that girl.” Luffy mutters and Law blinks.
“I don’t….” Law begins, feeling the words gurgle in his mouth, seeping out, “I’m not. I don’t like people, generally. I don’t really think about gender.”
Luffy tilts his head to the side, “I didn’t ask who you didn’t like. I asked who you liked.”
“I answered that, I don’t. Generally. Doesn’t matter if it’s a girl or a guy. I’m not…into people.” It comes out stilted, as it always did when he told someone about this fact. He’s never had romantic feelings, sexual feelings even less frequent. He doesn’t know if it was the white lead killing everything he ever knew that did it, or just an innate part of his being.
“Hm,” Luffy works his jaw, chewing on both his food and Law’s words in tandem, “I get that. I’m the same. I like people though, that’s a really silly way of putting it.”
“Same?” Law asks, his own food forgotten.
“The not being into people thing.” Luffy says, shrugging, “I don’t think it’s weird.”
“Your swordsman isn’t?” Law doesn’t know why he’s pressing for details but Luffy opened this box and Law is too curious to not dig into it. Luffy throws back his head and cackles, and it rattles the table, “Zoro likes Sanji and he has no idea that he does. It’s really funny to watch him mope around the ship when Sanji flirts with girls.”
“I thought… you two seem—“ Shut up. Stop talking.
“We’re close and I love him.” Luffy admits, his gaze does that thing that Law could never quite figure out. Where Luffy suddenly looks years older, “I love all my friends. I think that’s the loneliest part. That I have all these people surrounding me and it’s enough. It’s all I ever wanted, but one day they’ll find people they love more than our adventures and I won’t.”
He pried too far. This conversation shouldn’t be happening between them. They are enemies (not really). Law should leave (he won’t). Luffy brightens, a flame slow to catch on damp kindling, “I want them to be happy, so I just have to enjoy the time I have with them now.”
“I never thought I’d be alive this long.” Law looks away from the table, away from Luffy who always watches him. He crawls off the petri-dish because it makes him uncomfortable to have someone want to look through the microscope at him, “For years I was dying, and then for years I was thinking about revenge. Romance or sex, I never had the time to consider it. Still, a part of me wishes that I had what my parents had.”
“What did they have?” Luffy asks and Law tells him. Memories that had been so painful to visit now knocking eagerly at the door. He tells Luffy about his mother who was a brilliant surgeon but a terrible cook that burned every recipe and called it flavor. He talked about his father, who was kind and a bit of a goofball, always laughing and trying to drag his mother down with him even when she was angry. He talked about how it felt walking into the kitchen for a glass of water late at night and catching his parents slow dancing to a scratched record crooning from a den den mushi. How the image of it is burned into his very soul, the softness of his father’s gaze, the pure happiness of his mother curled against his chest. The way they swayed with each other. Always with each other. When they danced, when they fought, when they loved him and Lamy. With each other. Together.
Luffy listens. Really listens, eyes wide as he watches Law talk. He asks questions, strange questions that answers more about himself in the asking of them. What did your bedroom look like? Did you have a bed or did you sleep on the floor? What was it like to have your mother tuck you in at night? You had a father? Did he ever hit you? Did you love your little sister?
I was blessed, Law thinks as he answers. His room had been blue and yellow, his favorite colors. Stars on the ceiling and anatomical posters on the wall. It was a bed, a big bed with the softest pillows in the house. His mother would read to him every night even when he pretended he was too old to need a bedtime story. No, his father never hit him. His father couldn’t harm a fly, but his mother did slap him once when she found him playing in the lab with chemicals without eye protection. It had hurt her more than him but he knew even as his cheek stung that she had been scared. He had adored Lamy, had adored her the moment his mother had laid the bundle of her in his arms and those big eyes looked up at him and smiled gummy. Luffy gazes at him with awe. The kind of awe that a child has hearing a fantastical story.
I was blessed. I am blessed because I at least have memories.
He talks until his voice felt gritty, and would down his beer and talk more. The empty pints collecting with the empty plates. A city built of dishes between them. The crowd ebbs and wanes, lunch crowd to the early drinkers to the dinner rush and then to the audience of the two barmaids, sweeping the floor and putting chairs up on the table. The young girl comes up to them, sheepish and shy, “Sorry sirs, but it’s closing time.”
They both look at her in confusion, kings pulled out of silverware kingdoms to a dark pub. The silver of moonlight sneaking in through the window. Law pays the bill with his stolen money and Luffy snickers as he has to dip into his own wallet for the difference. The bill is astronomical, one too many zeros tacked at the end of the total. Luffy looks on it victorious as Law counts it out.
They stumble out onto the street, Law swaying on his feet, booze hitting him hard. He ends up leaning on Luffy, half his body folded over Luffy’s shoulders. It’s embarrassing, but Luffy smells like sea and straw and Law breathes it in. They walk like that; the wall where they didn’t touch crumbling into rubble. They are hip to hip, rib to rib. Foreheads knocking as they move through the darkened streets. They walk uphill, away from the docks and their ships and their beds. All the way to the top of the hill, where the streets give way to a grassy knoll and the sky is open above them, the moon a perfect ring of light birthing a twin in the distant sea.
They fall into soft grass, giggling. Law hasn’t giggled in years but he’s curled into Luffy laughing into his neck and hearing it echo in Luffy’s voice. It feels like sailing on a dream, that drunken haze where everything is feather-light. Floating. Law is just following the wind when Luffy turns his head towards him to say something and Law cuts him off with a kiss.
It is sweet, something stolen from teenage years that Law never had. Law has kissed people, has fucked them on the rare occasion that the urge finds him. Yet, the way Luffy’s breath hitches against his mouth is the most glorious thing. His hand slides into Luffy’s hair, pushing that hat off of his head to make room for his grip and Luffy is kissing him back. Clumsy, inexperienced and wonderful. Too many teeth, a stone arch of lips but it soon gives way to something natural. A quick learner chasing instinct. Teeth yield for tongue, Luffy’s head tilts, nose bumping the aquiline curve of Law’s. His shoulders hit the ground and Luffy is pushing him down. Weight blanketing across Law’s chest. Their hips slot and the brush of their groins has Law moaning into Luffy’s mouth. Luffy pulls back at the sound, eyes dark and breathing hard, “Oh.” Luffy whispers, “That’s what they mean.”
Law doesn’t quite comprehend what Luffy is saying; he’s lightheaded and the phantom sensation of Luffy’s lips on his has him pushing back up, seeking it. Luffy kisses him, once, twice. Softening, closed-mouth and Law feels it like a wind-down. The fire brought low to the glow of embers crackling. The sound he makes is pathetic, a keen, a whimper. Something being taken away.
“You’re drunk, Trao.” Luffy says and it sounds like an explanation, and it sounds sensible. Responsible. Silly coming from Luffy who is none of those things. Silly that Law who was all of those things hated how it sounds.
“I am.” He breathes, swallowing hard and Luffy watches the bob of his throat like it’s the most fascinating thing he’s ever seen, “You’re not.”
Luffy wasn’t. Luffy doesn’t like alcohol, so he doesn’t drink.
“Nope,” Luffy shakes his head, “I’ll know that it won’t change in the morning.”
“You think it’ll change for me?” Law asks. Luffy smiles, “Maybe. You’re the one that doesn’t like people.”
Law snorts, head falling back into the grass and feeling the blades tickle the shell of his ears. The movement sends his brain skipping in his head in a rush. He is drunk. “You just want me to admit that I don’t hate you.” Law grouses.
“You don’t.” Luffy’s tone is certain as he moves to stand, “I know that already.”
Law looks up at him, bathed in moonlight, still just as bright as in the sun, “Then what don’t you know?”
A hand falls down in front of him, palm up. Law takes it and Luffy doesn’t have any tattoos, but the look of Law’s on top of his hand doesn’t look so bad. Luffy doesn’t let him go when he pulls Law onto his feet. Law doesn’t think he has since they met. Luffy starts pulling Law towards town.
Luffy answers, “I have no idea. You’ll just have to tell me in the morning.”

Fish in a Birdcage [Caleb Hyles] - Cover (Lyrics) - YouTube
youtube
This makes me think of CC and William (brainrot of them is thanks to @lets-ignore-that & @rongrii . I still I have that art in my head)
Making me think of like. Writing smth similar to this song, but with C.C and William ,,,,
I also learned smth from the comments of this video!!!
"Sirens used to be harpies, but they lost their wings and fell in the sea." –> and I related that to C.C somewhat being a good swimmer/his tears being the ocean("cry me a river"? More like "cry me an ocean"). And well. CC used to be a normal kid in a way
“Rabbit's kit”
Evan is stuck inside his room. It's light outside, but he's been locked inside his room again. He weeps again. ‘a normal morning...’ he thinks with grief. But he's not alone.
His good friend Fredbear is here!! So he's not alone, he can ask why but he never gets an answer. So maybe he can just talk about it to him? (I'm a fish inside a birdcage...)
He hears laughing against his door. Fredbear soon speaks up, but Evan doesn't know what he said.. (My brother always sings me songs)
Fredbear sighs, “What did he do this time?” his voice is gruff yet whimsical sounding? He sometimes sounds just like Father, though. “...He locked you in your room again.” He says as a matter-of-factly, no room for fighting or saying "yes" or "no"(Evan rarely lies though! He would never lie to Fredbear). “Don't be scared... I am here with you.” (With his beak, he tries to soothe me... He makes me feel that I belong.)
(He has a wild imagination..) Evan tries to blink his tears away, but they always keep on falling down his face. So he stops his useless way of protesting against his tears. Fredbear doesn't need to be lied to. And Evan can never lie when it's Fredbear. His best friend, the only person who believes in him. (And tells me things that may be true)
Evan only nods, Fredbear hums a silent "good". (Like there's a world where I can take flight!) “This will end, I'll make sure of that. And then? You can fly like the angel you were destined to be. You'll fly away from those frightful jaws of that demented fox.” Fredbear sounds so fatherly, so kind, so loving. Evan smiles, Fredbear always knows how to comfort him.
The end? He sounded mean, and angry. He always calls Mikey, a "demented fox". And over time, Evan starts to believe it. So Evan just nods again.. there's no way he'll lie to his best friend, or ever go against him. Fredbear is always right in the end. (Where I can freely move...)
He hears his door get knocked on. He jumps, while he goes to hug Fredbear. His doorknob twists and turns. “It's only me.” He mistakes that voice for Fredbear, so he smiles wide again and goes towards the man(while wiping his tears away, and when the door opens), to hug him.
The man allows him to hug him. Father is always kind to me. Father goes to pick me up (So carry me from these walls, Brother of mine. Show me the world, outside). Evan only smiles wider, and goes to hug his father's neck (It has to be true, I'm counting on you)
Father only chuckles. (to be my wings and my eyes)
Evan is outside his house now, “Go and play with the others. Come back at 2, son.” Father says with some affection. Evan only nods back, and says “yes father!”. He runs off to his his close circle of friends ‘oh, that's right...’ he thinks dejectedly, as he slows down to walk to a tree that always has a yellow bird on it's branches.
The yellow bird looks pretty. He wonders how he'll look if he was like Springbonnie, a rabbit. (As I breathe into our silence) Would he also be gold colored? With green eyes too? Or would he have blue eyes? And some reds and dark blues on his bowtie and hat? Or would he be more fished based? Like those sea monkeys he sees on the telly sometimes? (There's a voice that comforts me)
“...What do you want to talk about, angel?” Fredbear is speaking again! “oh!” Evan is just surprised, Fredbear chuckles. (It's a voice of understanding, it's the voice of empathy...) “..ummm... Just thinking of how it'll be like to be like Bonnie.. could I look just like him, or be something so different? Like those sea monkeys!” Evan tells Fredbear with a smile.
(Wings of feathers, tails and fin tips) Fredbear chuckles again. “.. You'll make for a great bunny, angel.” Evan lightly laughs. Fredbear always knows how to make me feel happy (We feel each rock so differently)
“You think so?” Evan asked giddy, he is genuinely curious. He wants to know why! “Because, you already are.” Fredbear answers, in his common cryptic way, but Evan doesn't mind. Evan sometimes understands what he tries to say, so he doesn't need to say more!
(You gave me more than I could ask for)
It's 2. He goes back to his house, hugging Fredbear close to his chest, Father is at the door. (Indistinguishability)
Evan hugs his Father again. Evan likes to hug people, especially his family. But Father let's him hug him, and Evan is okay with that. He loves his Father, anyways! (So carry me from these walls) Father lifts him up again, brings them back inside the house, and closes the door (Brother of mine, show me the world outside)
Evan is brought to the living room, Father turns on the telly, Evan hugs his plush much closer to his chest, while Father sets Evan down onto the couch. (It has to be true.)
Is his favorite movie being played? He looks up to Father with ‘puppy’-like eyes. Father only softly scoffs. A small smile shows itself on Father's face. Evan sways himself as he gets giddy for his favorite movie. (I'm counting on you. To be my wings and eyes) Evan smiles widely, and goes back to look at the telly.
(So carry me, from these walls. Brother of mine, show me the world outside)
Fredbear speaks again: “This is a safe place. This is a sanctuary.” He way of saying, “you're safe, angel.”
Evan's smile is still on his face but everything else is not the same. It also has no color. Is he being delusional? “...Father is always the best!” Evan says, as he sways himself again.
Cassidy has had enough.
“Evan. Stop.” Cassidy says angrily.
“...It has to be true...” Evan sings back.
(I'm counting on you)
Evan stops his swaying, his smile falters, as he moves his hands to his face. They are webbed, like he's a fish. He finds blood almost everywhere on his tiny body. His skin seems to shine, and it makes the dried blood look shiny.
He places his webbed hands on his chest, where he slightly feels fur? He feels fluffy. He doesn't understand it. But he likes it? He doesn't know.
(To be my wings and my eyes)
He just wishes it never ended like this. And that Father never became like the way he is...

Just some soft boys(tm) because I’m so soft about them it almost makes me cry
You can also read this here at AO3!
---
“Grookey! Grookey, where did you go?”
“Grookeeeyyy!”
There's a happy chirp from one of the trees and suddenly Ash finds himself with a faceful of monkey. The force of the jump isn't enough to set him off balance this time and he pries the happily babbling Pokémon off of his head.
“Goh, I found it!” he yells in the direction of the other boy, who comes running at the sound of his voice. “No sign of my cap though,” he says as Goh reaches the two, Pikachu at his heels.
“Oh, that's not good,” Goh frowns and accepts the bundle of giggling monkey into his own arms. “Why did you run off with it like that?” he admonishes Grookey but it only hits him with its stick and blabbers something unintelligible. “Wow, thanks,” he mutters but he knows he can't stay mad at the baby Pokémon for too long.
-
They keep searching until after dinnertime and both boys sit down on a fallen tree along one of the numerous paths in the forest, beat. They feel like they've combed half the forest already - Grookey hadn't been missing for that long, how did it manage to lose the Arceus damned hat so completely?
“I don't think we're going to find it,” Goh moans and rubs his eyes. Grookey jumps off of him to check out an abandoned campfire across from them, carefree as always.
“Don't lose hope! I'm sure it's around here,” Ash says, stretches his arms above his head and yawns. “We still haven't checked out that part,” he then points at the path leading to Viridian City. “Maybe Grookey just wanted us to have a little detour.”
“No way,” Goh snorts. Ash's words do reassure him however and he leans back to look up to the sky. A few clouds are drifting overhead, pushed by the gentle breeze... He closes his eyes and sighs. The day has been pleasantly warm and walking through the forest has been nice, all things considered.
“I'm so hungry though,” Ash says abruptly and his stomach growls as if to lend weight to his words. Goh can't help but laugh. He digs through his pockets and hands Ash two breakfast bars.
“That's all I have on me but it should stave off your inevitable death by starvation. You're very welcome.”
Ash takes the bars but hesitates, poking Goh into his ribs with one of them.
“What about you though? You can't go without eating, either!”
“Don't worry, I'm not that hungry-”
“Yeah, sure,” Ash grins and hits Goh on the head with the bar. “Take it.”
Goh grumbles but snatches the bar from his friend's fingers, if only to not get hit again. Grookey takes care of that just fine by itself, thank you very much.
“Jeez, okay. But you better not whine about your empty stomach before we get to the Pokémon centre, alright?”
“You have my word!” Ash manages to say around a mouthful of oats and whatever else the breakfast bars are made of. Goh chuckles and unwraps his own bar.
-
They eat in easy silence and the food is gone fairly quickly. Despite the small size of the portion, Goh feels strangely content as he pops the last piece into his mouth. He glances at his research partner who's already finished his own snack and is playing with Pikachu on his lap. It's a cute sight and instinctively Goh looks around for Grookey, spotting it asleep on a patch of moss next to the campfire. Oh well, at least it won't get in trouble like that.
Goh looks back at Ash and feels a familiar warmth settle between his ribs. Ash can be silly but he's also determined, and strong, and funny. Ash is also kind. Ash is forgiving. He didn't get upset when Grookey snatched his hat and absconded with it and even after searching for it for hours, he's still in high spirits. Goh knows very well what a handful his little green friend is, having lost his patience with it more times than he likes to admit. Ash never loses his patience with any of his Pokémon and he never does that with Goh's Pokémon, either. He doesn't value anything over the trust he's built with his friends, both Pokémon and people. It's inspiring.
Given the opportunity, Goh doesn't hesitate to blabber on and on about his fateful encounter on the day he met Ash. It's about Lugia, of course, but as time goes on he can't shake the feeling of it being more than just about the legendary Pokémon - it feels like he didn't have just one fateful encounter that day, but two.
He's never seen Lugia again after that day. Ash, however... Ash has stuck at his side ever since. And isn't that a wonder.
“Hey, Goh?”
Ash's voice interrupts his thoughts and Goh blinks just to find the trainer's eyes fixed on him. Oh no, had he been staring?
“Y-yeah?”
“Thanks for searching for my cap with me,” Ash says, surprisingly level-headed. “I know you'd much rather look for new Pokémon than my silly old hat, so I really appreciate it.”
The sincerity of the words takes Goh by surprise and he's sure his cheeks have already flared red. There's no hiding it but he turns away from Ash anyway.
“I, uh- Yeah, of course! It's important to you!”
Ash merely grins at him and stands up, Pikachu scurrying up onto his shoulder. He starts towards the other path, expecting Goh to follow. He doesn't.
”Could we... stay, a while?” Goh asks instead. Ash turns to look at him, perplexed, but sits back down on the log.
“Yeah sure, but we still have to find out where Grookey dropped my cap...”
“We'll find it,” Goh replies easily, turning to look at the other trainer. He's smiling and there's a sparkle in his blue, blue eyes. Ash only stares at him and Pikachu on his shoulder sighs and shakes its head. Seeing this, Goh laughs and shakes his head as well, effectively mimicking the Pokémon. He looks at the path ahead of them and chuckles.
He wants to stay here in this moment for just a little while longer. The future is in the palm of his hand - their hands - and it's up to them to mould it as they please. Goh has always known that he wants Mew to be a part of the shape his future ends up taking but it's not the only thing he's sure of.
He wants Ash to be a part of it, too.

straw hats gang: 1st year - chopper, 2nd year - sanji, nami, luffy, usopp, zoro, 3rd year - brook, franky, robin and then yamato who is in another school, a private one
another thing that luffy is well known for is for his amazingly large appetite. good thing the chefs can handle his stomach with the help of sanji, who is an aspiring cook.
how about the fee?
it used to be pain by either shanks, a teacher who dotes on luffy a lot, or sabo, the one with the proper paying job among the brother. however, lately luffy has been able to pay his own food now which makes both ace and sabo proud for their little brother, but then when they ask what job luffy has.
he answers with, "job? is that a food?"
and there goes the mystery of the year: where exactly does luffy get his money from?
Tumblr media
now that school just ended, luffy and his friends are walking towards a new restaurant the opened up near the school. ace and sabo couldn't join since ace has detention while sabo has work today.
luffy now stood in front of the new fancy restaurant with sparkling eyes, "meat!" he was about to run in but got stopped by one of his friends.
"hold on, luffy! this place is expensive! you really think that any of us can afford this place?" nami exclaimed since she's really careful with her money.
luffy pouted, "it's fine! i can pay!" he told her as he escapes from her grip and goes over to the host. "for how many?" the host asks and luffy turns around to count then hold up nine fingers. the host nods, "nine people." then the host gives luffy a subtle sign.
he saw the look and pulls out something from his wallet which made the host panic. "oh my, i didn't realize you were— i'll get a private booth ready for you!" they exclaimed as they scurry towards the back.
luffy turned to his friends with a huge smug grin, "now they'll give us a room to eat in!" he exclaims as nami started shaking him, "what did you do?! the hell did you show that host?" she asked wanting to know the secrets of getting said private room.
usopp and chopper beams up, "way to go, luffy!" "that's our luffy!" zoro looks absolutely confused, "are we sure luffy can pay?" he asks to which sanji hits his head, "luffy's loaded now, you marimo." "what did you say, you pervy cook?!" then they started fighting again.
franky stepped in, "super~ not cool guys, we're at a fancy restaurant. behave for now." he scolded as the two just glared at each other. "yohohoho! here goes luffy paying for us again, i do wonder where he gets all this money from?" brooks lets out as the three guys next to him nods.
robin walked up, "luffy, do you perhaps have a pin?" she asked with a palm on the side of her face. the said boy avoided eye contact, "i can't say." he says all nervously which made robin just chuckle, "that's fine," she goes up to him and pats his head, "come now, let's have lunch."
with that the straw hats went inside the fancy restaurant.
the host showed them a room in the basement, "this is your room and the restroom is down the hall. use the phone for any orders and if there is anything else, please just call." they opened the door and pointed towards then phone on the table then left.
they ended up partying in the room all night.
of course, all good things come to an end and so when the bill came out, it was dreadful.
฿153,070
nami and usopp started crying, "we don't have this much money!" as they hugged each other. luffy stood up as he grabbed his bag but then got stopped by nami, "where are you going? we haven't paid!" he tilted his head, "what are you talking about? i told you guys, i'll pay!" then lets out his iconic giggle and bright smile.
nami and usopp stopped crying, but then nami started hitting luffy. "you're seriously going to pay? how much money do you even have?!" the boy in question shook his head, "i can't tell you that. the money's not even mine."
that made his friends both curious (mostly robin) and worried.
"anyways, i have to go somewhere. see you guys on monday!" luffy goes to the door and bid them a farewell then left.
robin then held luffy's wallet up with a cheeky smile and a hand on her cheek, "it seems our leader forgotten his wallet. perhaps we should follow him?" she suggests.
nami smiles as she took the wallet from robin, "and i'll be taking that!" she says with money in her eyes then checks the inside of the wallet. her jaws drop then shows a nervous smile as she points at the inside, "it's a fucking black card!"
"what?!"
nami pulls out the black card and then a golden pin, "and then... what's this pin?" she holds it out, "is this what luffy showed the host?"
the pin showed a small side portrait, something you'd find in a pendant or a locket. the carved portrait showed a woman and at the bottom also showed initials. then at the back of it showed a crest.
robin nods as she took the pin from nami's hand and started to inspect it, "this woman is the next heir to the l/n company." she flips the pin to show the crest, "this crest right here is proof that this is an authentic pin."
chopper raises his hand, "who are the l/ns?" he asks which made robin chuckle and pull out her phone to show a website. "the l/n family are nobles. they own multiple schools, both private and public, and are responsible for keeping this place in peace. then the eldest daughter—" she showed a picture of a woman with h/c hair.
brook points at the photo, "oh ms. y/n!" chopper looks at brook, "you met her?" he asks as brook nods his head, "i performed for her a while ago. she is very different from other nobles, a kind soul indeed! yohohohoho!"
zoro tilts his head, confused now, "if the l/ns are such a big shot, then why does luffy have the pin?"
sanji buts in, "no, the question should be how does he have it? he did say that the money he has all the time now, isn't actually his." before a fight could happen, nami stood up and glared at the two.
"sorry to cut this investigation short, but—" usopp took a peak outside the door, "luffy is leaving and we should get going if we still want to follow him to where ever he's going." franky stood up, "let's get super~ going then."
and so the crew left the restaurant and followed the innocent boy.
Tumblr media
the crew watched as luffy went to the opposite way of his home. robin walked at front to keep an eye on luffy as she has the best eye sight among the rest while the others made theories.
"where do you think he's going this late at night?" usopp asks as nami groans, pulling onto zoro's leash. "zoro! stop walking away, you're gonna get lost!" zoro growls at her as sanji laughs at him causing yet again, a verbal fight.
nami sighs before turning to usopp, "maybe a date?" she asks with a smirk, knowing that luffy is known to be an idiotic romanticist.
franky puts an arm around usopp, "actually, if you think about it, luffy getting a ton of money lately might mean he has a sugar mommy. sometimes, those types of relationships end up with dating each other." he points out.
usopp, nami, and sanji freaks out, "luffy, dating someone?!"
sanji starts getting frustrated, "if that idiot gets a girlfriend before me, i'm never going to cook him meat again!"
nami starts getting envious, "i want someone to give me money all the time."
usopp starts laughing, "i really can't imagine luffy dating someone!"
robin puts her hand up, "everyone, luffy just entered a house—" the crew then stop to look at said house, "but it's not just any house. it's the l/n manor."
"that's a mansion!"
the group of friends stood in front of the gates of the l/n manor, wondering on what to do now.
"what now?" chopper softly asks to which usopp shrugs, "should we just ask him on monday?" he suggests but nami lets out a horrifying aura, "we're getting answers one way or another!"
before nami could ring on the call system next to the gates, said gates opened. they were hesitant to go in since they weren't sure if they are invited, but then the call system rang.
"you are sir luffy's friends, are you not? he and the miss have given permission to invite you all inside the residence. make yourselves at home."
zoro shrugged then walked in with robin following closely behind. "zoro! robin?" nami called out, clearly hesitant to go inside despite being invited now.
"you heard the coms, we're invited now. let's go." zoro says as he nods his head towards the inside of the gates as robins nods, "we won't be executed for trespassing now." she comments making nami, usopp, and chopper let out a shrill.
now that they're properly invited, they went ahead and went in (with nami, usopp, and chopper still being a bit cautious). however, all nervousness were lost and quickly replaced with awe at the sight of the interior of the place.
immediately once they stepped foot into the place, a handful of maids appeared and lead them to separate rooms to get changed into a more formal wear.
after all, they can't be wearing their school uniforms to a banquet!
after they got changed into a more appropriate attire, they were immediately shoved into a huge ballroom filled with tables and chairs. with the insane sight in front of them, they eventually forgotten why they're here.
it was until a loud shatter of glass was heard at the front of the huge room, "thank you all for coming to this sudden celebration!." a female voice called out through the microphone at front.
but then before the woman at front could continue with her announcement, she was interrupted.
"y/n!"
said person held a hand to the mic to cover it, "yes, my dear?"
"are you going to announce it now?" the young man next to her looked to be excited.
the woman smiles, "yes! would you like to do the honors?" she asks to which the young boy next to her moves over to the mic as he wraps his arm around her waist.
"i'm monkey d. luffy! and y/n is my wife!"
"WHAT?!"
you chuckled, "i have no problem marrying you, but the proper term is girlfriend, luffy." you corrected him then gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"i meant girlfriend!"
everyone congratulated the two as claps boomed throughout the hall. meanwhile, the straw hat gang is honestly shocked (well, mostly usopp, nami, zoro, and sanji).
robin, franky, chopper, and brook laughed then congratulated the news saying: "i'm happy for him.", "good for him!", and such.
both sanji and zoro are furious for "how did luffy get a girlfriend before me?!" and "luffy is dense as a rock, how did he get a girlfriend?"
usopp and nami were envious for: "how nice! to have a doting girlfriend." and "how nice! i want someone to give me all their money to."
robin then comments, "although, i didn't know luffy is the son and grandson of dragon and garp, respectively." then she sips a glass of her drink.
"EH?!"
"oh my, you didn't realize?"
"isn't garp the name of a police hero?" nami asks with wide eyes as robin nods then, "what the hell is up with this family?" zoro shakes his head with amusement.
chopper raises his hand, "who's dragon?" sanji turns to him, "you don't know who dragon is?" then nami buts in, "luffy's father is an outrageous man! he's part of the yakuza!" she points at luffy who's next to you.
then suddenly ace and sabo appears.
ace slams a hand on the table they're at, "oh guys! didn't expect to you all here." then sabo places a hand on ace's shoulder, "shocking announcement, wasn't it?" he chuckles.
they both noticed the obvious baffled faces of luffy's group of friends (well, mostly nami and usopp).
sabo holds a hand up, "ace, luffy, and i aren't blood related siblings." they visibly relaxed, "although, ace is the biological son of gol d. roger, but his adoptive father is edward newgate. then, i'm a runaway noble!" the baffled expressions came back.
ace nudged sabo, "you didn't have to say all of that." he purses his lips as he looks away, a bit embarrassed. sabo chuckles at his brother then turns back to the group, "also, we never knew luffy was dating someone until now."
before anymore chatter could happen, you and luffy finally walked up to the table.
"guys! you came!" luffy jumps up but then tilts his head in confusion, "wait, when did i invite you?" he says making both nami, usopp, and sanji hit him.
"you idiot!"
you let out a laugh which made them finally notice you.
'tall!' (you're around 6'4" here)
taking this as your cue to slightly bow, "a pleasure to finally meet you all, i am luffy's partner; l/n y/n, but you may call me y/n. i've heard a lot about you all! good things, of course. you all are wonderful people for my dear luffy over here." you gave them a closed-eye-smile as you hugged luffy from behind.
they became flattered and shyly denied it.
you then looked up on the gigantic clock at one of the walls, "oh my!" you put a hand on your mouth, "as much as i would love to stay and chat, but i have to end this celebration short. i cannot keep everyone here for the rest of the day, you all may leave anytime. good eve."
then the moment you left, luffy started getting ganged up on questions.
"one by one!" luffy started screaming from all the questions which made them calm down a bit. he pouts knowing that there's one question everyone wants to know,
when did he meet you?
"since y/n's family owns the school, she found me through there. i was told to meet up here at her house a couple months ago and she offered me to be her 'sugar baby', whatever that means. i asked her what that is and she told me that she'd feed me delicious food! so i accepted."
luffy stood in front of the huge gates and started screaming, "oi! anyone there? shanks told me to go here!" the gates opened which made him run inside as he let out screams of awe.
when he stepped inside the manor, one of the maids brought him to the dinning table which is filled with loads of food. then seated next to the head seat of the table is you!
you pointed at the head seat, "come now, luffy, you must be starving! eat all you want, my darling." you smiled at him as he screamed in happiness, "really?! thanks lady!" then started eating.
after the dinner, you finally started explaining on why he's here. you turned to luffy, who's drinking his milkshake, "nice to meet you, luffy. my name is y/n of the l/n family. you may call me y/n."
then you walked towards him and took a hold of both his hands. with sparkling eyes filled with hope, you asked, "luffy, oh could you please be my sugar baby?"
luffy didn't know what that was so he tilts his head in confusion, "what is that?" he asks which made you squeal at his adorableness. "basically, i offer you a lot of things, mostly money, whenever you need it. you can also live here, if you want. oh! and, free food every time you come here."
with star eyes, luffy stood up as he leaned closer to you, "i'll be your 'sugar baby' or whatever! for food!"
luffy explained looking proud at the mention of getting free food, then he started blushing. "then one day i started feeling weird around y/n, like a sickly but nice stomach feeling. i thought i was sick so i went to torao and he said that i love her. so i confessed and that's how we started dating."
a couple months past with you being luffy's sugar mommy and the two of you are really close. like very close. to the point that you and luffy have been bathing together. that close.
there would also be times wherein luffy would go to your room at night while rubbing his eyes, half-awake. when you ask "what's wrong?" you'd be answered with,
"i want cuddles."
of course, you'd fucking agree. he's just so cute aajshbdfnkhjf and then after that, whenever luffy stays over, you two would sleep together.
then at some point, luffy all of a sudden took you out on a date! you've always thought that he didn't know anything romance related, but besides that, you were delighted! a date with the one and only luffy.
luffy is an amazing person. he's so cute, childlike, innocent, greedy, selfless, and more! he's just someone very rare on this forsaken planet. you've heard a lot of him through the school's staff, mostly jinbei and shanks. every since then you've been wanting to meet him!
but you never expected to fall for him.
same goes for luffy.
after that date at the amusement park, he felt sick every time he's around you. at first he would have asked help from his brothers, but decided not to since he thought that they'd worry too much. so he asked a doctor-in-training that he knows, trafalgar law.
"torao! i'm sick!" luffy cried out, "every time i get neaar y/n, i feel like i' dying but in god way? like this nice feeling in my stomach, i feel hotter also, then my heart beats more. i'm not dying, am i?!" he continued to cry as law just stared at him dumbfounded.
"mugiwara-ya, you're in love, you idiot."
when law told luffy that, so many things went through his head then realization comes in. as if he was a popcorn, from a thinking face to a bright and huge grin, "i love y/n!"
then the next day, luffy immediately sprinted to your manor once school ended and clung onto you the entire time. you melted at luffy's hug as you nuzzled into his hair, "what's the occasion, luffy?"
he looked up with a huge grin, as usual, but something about it feels different as if lovesick.
"i love you!"
you almost fainted, but then, "i also love you!~" you squished luffy into a hug and the two of you are officially together.
ace and sabo started hugging their little brother. "i'm so proud of you, luffy!" sabo cried out making ace cry out also, "I thought you'd be forever alone!" from that comment, sabo hit ace on the head.
nami then stepped up, "that's so cute!" then her aura changed, "but that doesn't explain how you have a black card." she puts her fist on luffy's cheek and grinds against it.
"y/n gives me money also!"
that made nami cry in envious while she beats luffy up.
Tumblr media
masterlist
a/n: feels a bit rushed but eh. i like this concept and might do more on it, this one just felt rushed because today is the deadline (luffy's birthday).

Chapter 9: Farewell, Giant Island! Head for Alabasta
(episode 77)
"That was hot! Couldn't you have done it a different way?"
"Well, then. Can you tell which is the real one?"
"Gum-Gum Stamp!"
"How... did you know... I was here?"
"Instinct."
-
Now that the battles were over, Broggy was crying waterfalls of tears over poor Dorry. "Whoa! Look behind him!" Luffy pointed out, as everyone covered their ears. At least, almost everyone. "A rainbow! There's a rainbow!"
"It's beautiful!" Venus admired it.
"Even the way he cries is big!" Nami complained.
"It's practically a waterfall!" Zoro added.
Usopp, apart from the rest, was crying with him. "I understand how you feel, Master Broggy!"
Amidst the mourning, however, Dorry's hand started twitching, and his eyes blinked open. Everyone, especially Broggy, was shocked when he used his sword to sit up. "Dorry! How are you-?"
"It seems I blacked out."
-
'Mr. 0?' Sanji thought. 'Wasn't Mr. 0 the name of the enemy boss Vivi-chan talked about? Which means the guy on the other end of this Transponder Snail... is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?!'
"It's been many days since I issued your orders. What's going on?"
'Mr. 3... so he's the owner of this Transponder Snail? Ah. I think I got it figured out now.' He glanced around the hut. 'This is an enemy hideout, and a guy named Mr. 3 came to the island to take Vivi-chan's life.' He grimaced shamefully. 'Damn. This was no time for me to be hunting! I hope they're all okay!'
"Why the silent treatment? I asked you a question. Have you eliminated Princess Vivi, and the Straw Hats?!"
"Yeah, mission complete!" Sanji replied confidently, keeping up the facade. "I got rid of everyone who found out about your secret. So there's no need to go after 'em anymore."
"I see. Well done. As we speak, the Unluckies are headed your way to confirm your mission is complete, and to deliver a certain package."
"Unluckies? A package?"
"An Eternal Pose that points to the Alabasta Kingdom. You and Ms. Golden Week will head to Alabasta; the time has come. We're about to begin our most important operation. Details will come after you reach Alabasta. Wait for my orders."
Sanji saw an eagle, and an otter leering at him from the round windows. "What are these things?!" The eagle readied a pair of pistols, while the otter revealed its two seashells wielded metal claws.
"Hey. What's going on?"
"Oh, it's nothing," Sanji replied nervously, before he leaped away from gunshots. "What the hell?!" He ducked down behind the table, as the tea set was totaled. As he straightened up, the otter charged in, and slashed at him, but he jumped away. "You tryin' to kill me?! Bring it on, you damn monkey!" He kicked the otter into a wall fatally, then turned back to the eagle. "I'm tellin' you," Dodging bullets, he grabbed its head with his feet, "To stop that! You jumbo-sized chicken!" He twisted its neck, ultimately eliminating it.
The Snail turned in his direction. "What was that?! What happened?!"
Sanji rushed over, and urgently grabbed the speaker. "Oh, uhh, no! It ain't- I mean, it's nothing! That damn Straw Hat was still alive. It's okay, though; I finished him off. No need to worry."
There was silence on the other line for a moment. "Still alive?" He didn't sound happy. "You just said your mission was complete; did you not?"
"Yes, well," He stammered, "I thought it was complete. But he was much tougher than you'd believe."
"In other words... the report you gave me was a lie."
"Umm, well... I suppose so, when you put it that way. But I've gotten rid of him for sure now. So there's no need to send any more after 'em. Okay?"
"Very well. Just head straight to Alabasta from there now!"
Sanji stared at the speaker without a word. He had to find the others, quick!
-
"It's probably... because of the weapons," Dorry panted.
Everyone watched with surprise, and joy. "Weapons?" Usopp wiped his tears. "Oh, yeah! Not even Elbaf weapons could keep up with two giants fighting to the death for 100 years straight!" He sighed in relief. "Talk about crazy..."
"And lucky," Venus added.
"Yeah... it's a huge miracle!"
Broggy laughed jovially, as he hugged Dorry in relief. "Hey, Broggy! Don't hold onto me! That hurts my wounds!"
"I'm so glad you're alive, friend of mine!"
"Miracle, my ass," Zoro snarked, "It's only natural. The fact those weapons are still intact after 100 years of constant bashing and clanging is even crazier. As are their owners."
"What a wonderful day today is!" Broggy beamed. "I thank you, God of Elbaf!"
"Oh, Broggy?" Dorry gained his attention. "Was chopping me down, and knocking me out that happy for you?"
"You dimwit! That ain't what I'm saying!" He playfully punched his shoulder.
"Oww! Don't touch my wounds!" With that, they started exchanging the gesture back and forth. "You want some of this?!"
"Yeah! I'll wipe the floor with ya!"
"Cool! Cool! Cool!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Why are you guys fighting again?!" Nami shouted angrily.
-
"And no further radio contact from now on. We don't want the Marines catching whiff of us. All further orders will be sent via letter, as usual. That is all. Good luck, Mr. 3." Mr. 0 hung up his snail, and stood from his chair. "Ms. All Sunday."
The raven-haired, purple-clad woman turned to him, while petting a giant alligator. "Yes?"
"Send Mr. 2 to Little Garden." She was surprised at the order. "Eliminate Mr. 3 on his direct course to Alabasta from Little Garden."
"That's quite aggressive, sir. Mr. 0, Crocodile." She stood up from the couch, and headed for the wide staircase.
"We have enough manpower as it is. Are you arguing with me?"
"No, I'll do as you wish. I'll make arrangements at once."
-
"Well, he's hung up," Sanji remarked to himself, "So let's see." He approached his dead adversaries. "What were these guys, anyway?!" He then noticed a strange object hobbling between them, and picked it up to investigate it.
It resembled an hourglass with a round, clear globe in the middle. Almost like a Log Pose, but no wristband. "What do we have here?"
-
Broggy and Dorry laughed heartily together when the former and the Straw Hats caught him up on everything. "We had completely forgotten about the bounties on our heads!" Dorry laughed.
"But I was the reason they came to this island in the first place," Vivi lamented. She yelped when Nami pulled on her cheek.
"Let's have none of that!" She scolded.
"Nami!" Venus slapped her hand away, and looked up at the princess. "It wasn't your fault."
"Yeah, Vivi!" Luffy agreed, eating rice crackers with Usopp and Karoo. "What're you so down in the dumps for? Want a rice cracker?"
"I'll take one!" Venus raised her hand, and caught one tossed by the sniper. "Thanks! Perfect aim, as always!" She giggled.
"Hey! Where did you get those?" Nami asked.
"Alright! For now, let's have a rice cracker party!" Luffy proposed, ignoring her question.
"Rice crackers aren't very exciting," Usopp remarked.
"Really? We can even make toasts with them!"
"I think they're good!" Venus hopped down, and joined the guys.
"See?" Nami turned to Vivi. "Does anyone blame you?"
"Cheers!" Luffy toasted with the snack.
"C'mon! Don't do that!" Usopp griped, and picked up the pieces of his that Luffy broke, brushing the dirt off. "Geez! You can't just waste food like that!" He went to eat it anyway.
"What're you doing?!" Luffy tried to steal it. "Give it here!"
"Who said you could have mine?!"
"Give it! It's mine!"
"Who says?!"
"Kick his rubbery ass, Usopp!" Venus cheered, as she ate another cracker.
Vivi smiled in amusement, as they tussled in the grass. Zoro turned to Nami when she suddenly winced, as if she got hurt. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," She scratched a red spot that appeared on her exposed stomach, "Just a bug."
"Still, waiting a year for the Log Pose to point to the next island is pretty serious stuff."
"Yeah!" Nami agreed. "It's definitely no laughing matter!"
Venus glared when Luffy bit Usopp's wrist, so his whole hand was in his mouth. "Hey, biting's against the rules, Luffy!"
"You saved us," Broggy grinned, "We would like to thank you in some way."
Luffy leaped up on a rock, forgetting about the fight. "Oh, in that case, you old guys can do something about our Log!"
"We'll consider this a victory," Venus whispered to Usopp.
The giants frowned disappointedly. "I'm afraid Logs are the only thing we can't help you with," Dorry said regretfully.
On cue, Sanji made his entrance with heart-shaped puffs of smoke. "Nami-san! Venus-chan! Vivi-chan! And you other bums!"
"Hey! Sanji!" Luffy waved happily, as Usopp and Karoo glared.
"You're okay! Thank goodness!"
"That jerk suddenly shows up only after we needed help!" Usopp griped.
Upon seeing the giants, Sanji freaked out. "What in the hell?! Are you Mr. 3?!"
"Hey!" Nami said. "How do you know about Mr. 3?"
Sanji turned, and was stunned at her lack of a shirt. "Nami-san! You're so titillating!"
Nami shook her fist. "Feel like getting slugged?"
Just then, he switched to gentleman mode, and took off his suit jacket. "Now, now, Nami-san. You'll catch cold dressed like that. Here you are." He draped it over her shoulders.
"Thanks."
As soon as he sat on the log, Venus marched up to him with anger. "Where have you been?!" She demanded, her hands planted on her hips.
"Well, my dear Venus-chan, I just finished talking with Mr. 0 via Transponder Snail."
Vivi shivered with fear. "You talked to the boss?!"
"Yeah. I found this weird hideout in the jungle, you see," He began to explain, "He seemed to think I was Mr. 3, so I told him I eliminated everyone."
"So that means he thinks we're dead?!" Vivi exclaimed.
"So we're finally free of people chasing us, but we can't go anywhere!" Usopp cried.
"Can't go anywhere?" He smirked. "Do we still have business on this island?" He reached into his pants pocket. "Just after I managed to get ahold of this too." He took out the object from the hideout, and was confused at everyone's jawdrops of shock. "Eh?" He smirked nervously. "What?"
"It's an Eternal Pose to Alabasta!" Luffy beamed. "Hurray!" He cheered with Usopp and Venus. "Now we can set sail!"
"Hurray! Way to go, Sanji-kun!"
Vivi ran to, and hugged the cook. "Thank you, Sanji-san! I was so worried for a moment there!"
Venus promptly joined her with ecstasy. "Good job, Sanji! You're awesome!"
"No, no! It was my pleasure!" He smiled goofily with a deep blush. "I'm glad I could make you so happy!" Usopp brushed away a sudden pang of jealousy.
"Alright, everyone! Let's have a rice cracker party!" Luffy announced, and toasted with Nami, as Venus quickly joined in.
"Oh no, Luffy!" Usopp approached him worriedly. "We only have three left! We can't have a rice cracker party!"
"What?!"
"Aw," Venus frowned in disappointment.
"You know this is no time for that!" Nami scolded, then turned to Luffy. "Let's go, Captain! We don't have time to be lounging around!"
"Yeah, we'll have the party on the Merry!" Venus beamed.
Sanji was swooning from the twofer hug, when Zoro passed him by, and he remembered their competition. "Oh, yeah! Hey, you." He stood off the log. "You haven't forgotten our hunting contest, I hope!"
"Nope! But I win! I caught a rhino this huge!" He held his arms out.
"A rhino? I assume you can eat that?!"
"Of course!"
'Hunting contest?' Broggy thought to himself, with Dorry thinking the same. "Those words sound familiar somehow."
"Yes..."
Luffy put his hat on. "Alright, round old guy, and giant old guy! We're gonna go now!"
They both looked down at the crew. "Oh, I see," Broggy said, "Well, you do seem to be in a hurry."
"That's too bad, but we won't stop you," Dorry agreed, and turned to Vivi, "I hope your homeland is okay."
"Yes! Thank you!"
"See ya! Don't die anymore!" Luffy followed Nami and Vivi into the jungle, marching backwards.
"Master! I will visit Elbaf someday!" Usopp promised, as Venus watched him with a smile.
"You'll see," Sanji smirked pridefully, "Mine's way bigger than yours."
"You wish!" Zoro scoffed.
"I'm gonna be a brave warrior of the sea!" Usopp vowed.
"Our friends are setting sail," Broggy remarked.
"Yes, We can't just sit there; there's a monster in the west sea," Dorry reminded.
"Dorry! How are your wounds?"
"These? They won't kill me."
Broggy picked up his ragged weapon. "This axe, and that sword are just about done with."
Dorry investigated his sword. "Do you have regrets?"
"I do. This axe fought alongside me for 100 years. But, if it's for them, it's worth it!"
"Then it's decided..." They both stood up with determination in their eyes.
-
"See?! Mine's far more huger than yours!" Zoro pointed out.
"Look closer! My lizard's bigger!" Sanji retorted. Their catches were laid next to each other, by the Merry, and they stood on top.
"Are you blind or something?! My rhino's way bigger!"
"It doesn't matter!" Luffy beamed. "They both look yummy!"
"You shut up!" They both ordered.
"Huh?"
"Look! Mine's bigger!"
"No, mine is!"
Venus listened with irritation by Usopp and Vivi at the back of the upper deck. "It was funny at first, but now it's just dumb."
Nami couldn't help but smirk. "How long are you gonna keep at that? We don't need all of it, so cut up what we do need, so we can set sail!"
"Yes, Nami-san!"
"Hey, Usopp!" Zoro turned to the sniper. "I'm clearly the winner, right?!"
"I really don't care."
"Can't you call it a tie?" Vivi suggested.
"There are no ties in a challenge!" He refused.
"Hurry it up!" Nami shouted angrily, startling them.
"Right!" A swooning Sanji obliged, as Zoro leaped on the ship, then pulled up the anchor.
"Set sail!" Luffy announced, and they began moving along the river.
"They said going straight will take us to the western end of the island," Vivi recalled the giants' instructions.
"Hey, couldn't you have gotten any more meat on board?" Luffy griped.
"Yeah, right! Don't be stupid!" Sanji shot him down. "We can't preserve anymore than that."
"Do you want to sink the ship?!" Nami added.
"Look, it's the old guys!" Luffy saw Dorry and Broggy ahead. "They came to see us off!"
"Ahead is a great obstacle..." Broggy began.
"That prevents people who come to this island from reaching the next," Dorry finished, "You fought desperately to protect our pride."
"As such, no matter what manner of enemy there may be..."
"We will not let them destroy your pride, friends!"
The crew watched ahead with caution. "Have faith in us, and continue straight ahead! Straight ahead, no matter what happens!"
"Got it!" Luffy beamed.
"What's this about?" Zoro wondered aloud.
"What do you got?" Usopp asked.
"We'll go straight ahead, no matter what!"
"Yeah!" Venus agreed with Luffy. "Have faith in Dorry, and Broggy!"
They soon passed the island entirely. "This is goodbye!"
Broggy and Dorry drew their weapons. "Let's meet again someday," The latter proposed.
"Without fail."
"Look!" Nami pointed to the ocean. "Up ahead!"
In front of the ship, a fish bigger than the island itself emerged from the waves, just as the giants predicted. "There you are, Island-Eater!" Dorry glared.
"You will open the path, in the name of Elbaf!"
The fish showed itself to the crew, revealing to be a giant, red and white goldfish. "Wha...?" Sanji's cigarette dropped from his gaping mouth.
"Something appeared!" Usopp exclaimed, as everyone stared.
"What's this guy?" Luffy wondered aloud. "A goldfish?"
Usopp gulped. "A g-giant goldfish?! W-why does that sound familiar?!"
"Work the rudder!" Nami ordered. "Hurry! We're gonna get eaten! Hurry, Usopp!"
"I- I can't!"
"It broke earlier!" Venus reminded.
"Go straight ahead! R-right, Luffy?!"
"Yeah! Of course!"
"Don't be stupid!" Nami glared. "This won't be like what happened with Laboon!"
"I know. Calm down," Luffy sat on the prow, "Here, I'll let you have the last rice cracker."
"I don't want it!"
"Yoink!" Venus caught it instead, and nibbled in nervous anticipation.
"Hey! If we don't turn the ship, we're gonna be-"
Zoro calmly opened the cabin door, so a petrified Karoo could hide away inside. "Just give it up, Nami."
"Luffy!" Sanji turned to the captain. "We can trust those guys, I hope?!"
"Yeah!"
"Are you crazy?!" Vivi exclaimed. "Are we really going straight into that beast?!"
"No!" Nami cried. "We're too late now!" Venus and Usopp could only hug each other fearfully.
"You've grown a lot, Island-Eater!" Dorry glared. "You filthy monster goldfish!"
"His size isn't his only surprise," Broggy added, "There's also the size, and length of the dung he produces, after devouring any islands nearby. I recall a giant piece of dung named Nothing At All Island," He laughed.
"And that we landed on it long ago, thinking it was actual land!" Dorry recalled.
"This is a nostalgic day of adventure! As I look at them, I'm reminded of the old days!"
After the goldfish closed its mouth, trapping the screaming crew inside, they readied their weapons. "The only thing we can't penetrate is the bloodstained snake!"
"Observe, the most powerful Giant spear, as passed down in Elbaf!"
"Straight ahead!" Usopp cried. "Straight ahead!"
"What are you talking about?!" Nami shouted. "We've already been eaten!"
"Straight ahead!" Luffy urged. "Straight ahead!"
From outside, Dorry and Broggy struck the ocean, and ahead of the Merry, a gaping hole in the top of the fish's cranium let her fly out with the crew! "Hakokou Sovereignty!" They heard the giants' voices while escaping.
