Digging back through old WIPs and I totally forgot I wrote this scene lol~ Zoro being all flustered is perhaps not the most in character but I don’t care, it’s adorable.
******
Zoro watched their new ally’s back as they boarded the Thousand Sunny after the departure of the Marines. Despite the bulk of the coat, Zoro could tell that Law’s every movement had a deliberateness to it, almost graceful. It reminded Zoro of a cat.
“Torao!” Luffy called as he bounded onto the ship behind them. “We need to give you a tour!”
Law barely had time to turn around before Luffy had grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him away, chattering about his favorite parts of the ship (“This is Sunny’s head! It’s a great napping spot, even though I fall off occasionally!”). Zoro chuckled and set about helping the others to get the ship underway before finally settling down for a nap under his favorite tree.
He was woken up some time later by the creaking sounds of the deck swing beside him. He blinked his one eye open and saw Law rocking back and forth on one heel, looking up at the tree contemplatively. He plucked off a low-hanging leaf, twirling it between his fingers. Zoro remained motionless and watched as the swing slowly came to a halt, with Law still staring at the leaf in his hand.
“It must’ve been a while since you’d seen anything green,” Zoro finally said.
Law looked up, not expecting Zoro to be awake “Yes, I was just thinking my crew would be jealous,” he said, looking out over the lawn. “There’s no place for greenery on a submarine.”
Law’s fingers began toying with the leaf again, drawing Zoro’s eye to the motion. His fingers were long and slender, but certainly not fragile; well suited to the precise motions required for surgery. Fingers that could take him apart as easily as they could put him back together.
A sudden gust blew across the ship, knocking off Law’s hat and sending it tumbling across the lawn. Law started to activate a ROOM but Zoro lunged and caught it before he could finish. “Here,” he said, holding the hat out to Law.
As Law looked at him, the dappled sunlight slipped through the tree’s rustling branches and reflected off his eyes, lighting them up like pools of molten gold. Zoro’s heart skipped a beat in his chest as he realized that beneath that stupid hat, Trafalgar Law might have most handsome face that he has ever seen.
“Thanks,” Law said, running his hands through his shaggy hair before slapping the hat back on. His attempts at taming his windswept hair didn’t do much, and a few stray pieces still stuck out the sides at odd angles.
The thought of Law tugging on Zoro’s own short cropped hair flashed intrusively at the back of his mind, and Zoro’s mouth went dry. “I should check on Luffy,” he said, abruptly turning towards the stairs. He focuses on the clack of his scabbards as he walks away, the rustle of his clothes, the sounds of his boots on the deck. He times his breath with his steps— in two three, out two three four—
“I’ll go too,” Law said, standing up and propping his enormous sword on his shoulder.
Zoro did his best to seem nonchalant and continued to the foredeck (in two three, out two three four), where Usopp was regaling Kin’emon and Momonosuke with some tall tale or another and Luffy was perched in his usual spot on top of Sunny’s mane. Zoro smiled when he heard Luffy cry out in excitement as the ship crested a wave and picked up speed as they descended into the trough.
“It’s a sea-hill. You see them all the time,” came Law’s voice behind him, and Zoro’s stomach did a flip that had nothing to do with the speed of their descent. He looked over the railing at the churning waters and took deep breaths of the salty air. In two three, out two three four. Breathe, settle down. So what if he’s got a gorgeous face, Zoro tells himself, it’s not a big deal.
I'm a big fan of your AU Kuina alive, I was wondering if you could do a comic where the Straw Hats meet her.
Bye!!!
waooaoa so sorry for the late reply, I forgot to check my inbox :((( The AU would be incomplete without the Straw Hats' reactions, so I'm definitely cooking it up for a post of its own! Might take a while tho, art block is a pain lately :(
I'm super happy you liked Kuina and thank you for the ask ❤️🔥
It's Valentine's day and I'm still high on fem Law so... fem Lawzo it is. The rest of the strawhat are too big to fit in the frame lol. Genderbending makes me realize how androgynous my style is because my only gender indicator are boobs.
Warning: non-sexual upper body nudity under the cut
Ayo, I just saw your Kuina Lives AU stuff and my heart is aflutter with sapphic intentions
Finally, a buff woman that's taller than my 6'3 muscular ass
hehehe thank you sm i tried my best to design huge swordwoman Kuina, so glad you liked her! tbh it started with seeing Kiku and then how Momo grew up huge but Hiyori is tiny. there really should be more giant Wano women (and OP women in general).
you all's comments and reblogs for her are my life sources guys please never change.
(took me a sec to convert 6'3 to centimetres. DAMN you're sooo talllll. love you for that.)
a little zoro alternate design bc i draw him so much and his fit kills me i hate it this will be the default for now sorry ,, i brought the colors of his swords into his fit for some spice or whatever idk
it feels like every time i draw her she gets bigger. i still want zoro to have wado as a symbol of their promise so i gave kuina the nidai to go with zoro's sandai :))
It’s kind of weird how you allow multiple people to tell me to kill myself and threaten to rape me… in your comment section under one of your posts and you do nothing about it. 😐 This is literally your account and an 18 year old was harrassed, threatened, and TARGETED by an 25 year old MAN. A GROWN ADULT MAN. because I referenced to a character Okiku being transgender… which is what she is and is not offensive in anyway shape or form. 😐
Hi, I understand your grievance. Unfortunately I am also an 18 year old attending to their busy life outside of tumblr at the moment so I cannot know (turned off notifs) or monitor the behaviour of strangers on the internet that happened to comment on my post. I'm not a native English speaker and I've noticed Westerners on social media deliver their opinion in a really "unhinged" way, so what they've said to you is absolutely wrong and weird, but you bombarding me about this is also uncomfortable.
Still, thank you for notifying me. I'll delete the comments regarding this topic. Sorry for your bad experience.
Hardly anything this year has made me laugh and cheer as much as One Piece!
P.s. I really wanted to somehow fit Ace's spirit in here, but there's no way he could fit into the centered composition :c
