Recovery Time

[gingercatburglar-blog]

Releasing his cheek, and taking a lot of will of control herself, if looking at the bright side, then it was a relief. At least he was conscious enough that he shouldn’t be running around the city with such injuries –Even if it did not looked like that a few moments ago, and Nami genuinely believed he was up to something before the meat blackmail. 

“We’re the ones that decided to follow you, and we’ll do that no matter what or how dangerous something becomes.” she replied surprisingly more calm, of course in her plan that included that the likes of Luffy, Sanji and Zoro, even Franky would deal with such situations while giving a moral support in the back. “

A sigh escaped her lips as well as a smile was formed, placing a hand over her forehead, “You’re helpless.” she said followed by a small chuckle, before widening her eyes, “You know, I think we both know someone that can help us with getting information or perhaps even more, bring him down before he gains control of this city like he did back in Dressrossa…Boa Hancock.”

[gotanyrubbers]

“Well, you say that now, but you didn’t have a choice. You’re my navigator whether you like it or not.” Not one to make the brightest or most considerate of decisions, if there was anything that Luffy could be relied on, once he’d set his mind to something there was no going back. 

“So when’s the food coming.” was his immediate response, however as soon as he’d said it he realized that Nami had every intention of talking things out. Talk about boring, his slouch expressing his dissatisfaction. Making allies and the like was all well and good, but working against a number advantage was a field Luffy excelled in.

“Ah, Hancock!” Eyes gleaning as he perked up at the mention of his good friend’s name. “Well, I don’t think she likes Mingo very much but...” Despite his constant flippancy around the Empress, she had seemed kind of off. “She’s been acting kinda weird lately. Like she was pretending she didn’t know me or something. Must have hit her head or somethin’.”

“Yes.” she said with a proud smile, still showing off her drawing, before putting it down with the others. Followed by paying her full attention towards the straw hat boy, and of course, the kids surrounding them too.

“Legendary hero?” she repeated with bright violet eyes widened in surprise, never heard from him before in her world, but that did not meant he wasn’t a great hero in another kind of world. “Fascinating!” she exclaimed, a king of snipers, oh what she would give to shove that one off to certain Quincy.

“You’ve been blessed with a honourable friend then, congratulations.” she said with a small smile, before gathering the rest of the drawings she made so far to tell the story better. “Oh! This…Are called hollows, basically corrupted souls, when evolved by the years, the gain a conscience and become this. 

“Ruled by this bad guy they all attempted to take over the human world, so we Shinigamis, with the help of a few important friends fought fiercely from world to world to protect it, and though…It was a rough battle, because of this guy and everyone’s efforts, the bad guys were destroyed.” she said while changing one drawing from another, all bears were bad guys, and all rabbits the good ones of course.

[gotanyrubbers]

“I know right! He had a really cool theme song and everything!” he replied exuberantly, the theme song resounding in his head as he bopped around on the spot in order to contain himself. Nami would scold him yet again if he was too noisy in a library. “I’ve never met someone so heroic before, except for maybe Shanks. Although I guess he isn’t really a hero, shishishi~”

Luffy stared blankly at the Shinigami as she attempted to explain the concept of hollows to him to no avail. “I see, so they’re like mystery creatures...” was his only response, as he’d not even attempted to understnad Perona’s Horo-Horo Fruit, let alone bothered to even remember her name. He wasn’t capable of holding attention for so long.

The story about the battle however certainly piqued his interest. Although the girl skimmed over the gritty details, the Straw Hat couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement rush over him. “That’s so cool! Shinigami’s sound amazing! Do they have any special powers? Such as beams?” he exclaimed, eyes glistening with juvenile glee. 

[gotanyrubbers]

"Luffy! If you keep eating like that without a proper workout you will lose your shape. Then what will we do if you lose strength too?"

“What do you mean? I train by fighting people I come across every day.”

[ Messes with his cheeks, just to see if there could be any sort of little sign of rubber effect ]

The face didn’t stretch as much as usual, but used to the distracting grabby-hands of those amazed by his elastic property, Luffy continued his meal without so much as grumble.

Brothel Bodyguard Banter || @Bazz-B

[bazz-b-heat]

Maybe it was time Bazz-B started thinking of this guy as a hammer. Had all the intelligence of an inanimate object, but with all the brute force you’d expect out of the weapon. Trying to explain anything to him might be a wasted effort, but if he could figure out a way to somehow direct all that energy.. Well, there’d be more than a few broken bones in the future.

“We’ll stick him in a private room, away from the girls.” The sentence was met with a rise of complaints, sad faces and false tears. Scowling at the audience they’d attracted, he grabbed the aggressors legs while they carried him off. “If we leave him in the showroom, it’ll be bad for business.”

It wasn’t too far to the private rooms, where the guests would quickly be escorted in order to be serviced. The faster the girls could work, the sooner they could proposition the next customer and their next paycheck. Problem was this was a busy night, which meant the rooms were all occupied. Made sense why the guy was flipping out, he had to wait to get his whistle wet.

“We need one of these rooms kid, can’t leave him in the hallway. If the girls don’t see him or the customers are drunk they could trip and hurt themselves.” They had enough medical issues for the moment. “Try and get one of them clear– don’t hurt anyone though!”

[gotanyrubbers]

With his partner carrying the unconscious patron by his legs, Luffy maintained a firm grip on the head, the body swaying from side to side as they slowly attempted to maneuver their way through the nosy crowd. “Well, if you say so...” He couldn’t bring himself to entirely agree with how Pinky felt, as people may think they weren’t allowed to take naps during the show, in his own opinion that was business he could get behind.

Pulling to a stop outside one of the many diversely decorated room (or so they said on the plaques outside), Luffy finally understood Bazz’s reasons for tucking the dozing man away. Whilst naps were certainly a bonus, Luffy’s view on innocent people being hurt were concurrent with his partner. “No hurting people, got it.” No one was in danger this time at least, so there was no need for drastic measures.

Letting go of the victim’s head, a sickening thud echoing throughout the brothel as it connected with the ground, the Straw Hat strolled casually into the nearest room. Much to his surprise, there was a similar situation to before, and although the slapping of skin sounded bad, the woman appeared quite pleased with the situation.

“Oi, get out.” he instructed rather bluntly, his words catching the man’s attention and only garnering a ‘Fuck you asshole’ and a ‘Get the fuck out!’ in response, as he was completely oblivious to what was actually unfolding in front of him. Not one for patience, Luffy casually wandered over to the burly man, placing a firm grip on his arm. Before the brute could even react, his feet dug in as he flung the sizable man straight through the door, a squelching noise resonating through the room as he disconnected from the female.

Landing comfortably on one of the couches, the pudgy fellow seemed almost aghast as the display of strength he’d just been subjected to. Completely ignoring him, Luffy’s attention turned to the woman, who seemed rather delirious despite her concern. “I’m not gonna ask again, hurry up and get out.” he demanded. “Honestly why is every man and his dog naked in here? Haven’t you people heard of clothes?”

[shintenshin-archive]

“It’s because the show you are talking about- ughhh… Kami-Sama!! Why are you so thick?!” She grumbled, red in the face and blue in the lips as she attempted to explain a very basic concept to a teenage boy.

Even Naruto knew this much!

“It’s not scary! It’s all- geez!” She tried again, struggling to figure out just what to say and wat not to say. Let’s start with the basic facts:

“Itachi isn’t going in there,” she told him decisively. That was the important thing. Yes. No hussies around her husband please. “And a lady like myself can’t explain these things to you. Don’t you have an older male friend or something, kid?”

[gotanyrubbers]

“Thick!? What’s that supposed to mean? I’m not some kinda custard for you to eat, fatty!” The moment the insult left his lips, however, he realized a rather large discrepancy in his usual impression of the blonde. Where did all that fat go?

“Who?” He’d never heard of someone name Itachi before. Must be one of the shapeshifter’s friends. “Well whoever he is, from what Pinky tells me, he’s missing out. Apparently they even have rides during the show! It sounds really cool!”

His thoughts of an older male friend were immediately drawn to the perpertually cool Franky. The mysteries of the show would be common knowledge to such an experienced gentleman, a shame he wasn’t around to fill Luffy in. “Yeah, but I've lost him along with the rest of my crew, aside from Nami and Robin of course!”

[gotanyrubbers]

Bent, but not Broken (@Robin)

[oharanscholar-blog]

Robin had never relied on others- until she had met up with her crew mates from the Straw Hats. There were still moments of disbelief when she would find Zoro’s swift blades in front of an attack aimed for her, or a well-aimed shot from Usopp or even Frankie’s robotic body in front of bullets. These ridiculous people and how they went completely out of their way to help their comrades… it was moving to be a part of it. For a girl who had only ever felt unwanted and loathsome, it was incredible to actually have people she could go to when she needed it. This time, it was Nami. Despite her numerous complaints against the captain and his recklessness, Nami would search through hell and high water for a comrade, even if their enemy was Donquixote Doflamingo.

The woman slipped inside Nami’s current residence, resisting the urge to rifle through her things- only to satiate her own curiosity- and focused on the task at hand. There was unfortunately no sign of the orange-haired girl, but Robin was quick to note signs of clutter and mess that couldn’t belong to their organised navigator.

She turned down the handle to another door and when she stepped inside the room- her patience was rewarded with the sight of a deer-in-headlights-looking Luffy.

He was standing on the windowsill knees buckled and ready to jump despite all the bandages wrapped around him. Even though her relief was barely visible, Robin was glad to see him well.

“There you are. I hope you weren’t planning to jump; It would be impossible for a regular human to jump down without sustaining any injuries. The ground is harder than your bones and a fractured neck would make it difficult to eat, right?” She pointed out calmly.

 It was always easier to show him reasons to not get hurt than tell him outright not to.

@gotanyrubbers

[gotanyrubbers]

Startled by her sudden appearance, Luffy almost lost his balance, sandals slipping on the sill as his strength had not fully returned. He mustered what power he could manage to grasp onto the window, thankfully it was enough for him to shove himself back inside. Taking a last forlorn look outside as Robin scolded him, Luffy reluctantly slid the window back down.

“But you know, I would have definitely landed on my feet... probably. I’m a lot more careful now I’m not made out of rubber, so I would have stuck the landing no problem!” Despite his confidence, he grimaced slightly at potential future the navigator described to him 

“Well, if you really think eating will be that hard after a perfect jump, then I guess I’ll stay here.” Restless with his situation, the captain plonked himself down on the floor facing away from his comrade, the same bloodied bandages still adorning his damaged torso.

WHAT’S YOUR HONEST OPINION ABOUT YOUR MUSE? Completely self-centered, gluttonous, and absolutely clueless to the subtleties of the emotional states of others around him. His weak points aside, his childlike persona in relation to adventure and fun as well as his tenacity make him enjoyable to write as.

WOULD YOU DATE YOUR MUSE? “Never in a million years Sauvage!”

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE KINDS OF THREADS? Threads where people are out doing activities usually work best for Luffy, I find I enjoy writing him more in situations rather than just having a discussion, however I enjoy almost all sorts of threads!

ARE YOU A SELECTIVE ROLEPLAYER? Part of the rules of the group, but in terms of people within I’m usually open to anyone who is open to Luffy’s nonsense, so long as they don’t break the RP golden rule (godmod) or provoke unnecessary drama.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE MUSE (IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE)? I’ve loved writing all my different characters for various reasons, Jiraiya was probably my favorite to write as because he provided the most challenges, so finishing threads on him was probably the most satisfying. Kensei gave my inner asshole some loves whereas Hashirama was just a complete moron. Alongside Luffy I don’t think I could pick between the 4.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO JOIN THE FANDOM? Our Kanonji got me into Naruto, I sort of watched Bleach on my own, and Tom got me into One Piece. I wouldn’t really consider myself as ‘part of the fandom’, I just watch/read the series and write some of the characters.

DO YOU SEE YOURSELF STAYING WITH THE FANDOM FOR A LONG TIME? Like I said, I don’t really care for the fandom, but as for writing I’ll keep going so long as there is motivation.

I’ll tag - The edgelord himself, @dark-kanonji

Brothel Bodyguard Banter || @Bazz-B

[bazz-b-heat]

The kid charged forward with about as much forethought as understanding. Bazz-B followed methodically, letting out a whistle as the assailant soared away. Helping the girl up, their primary job to look after the merchandise before taking out the trash, he wandered over to inspect his partner’s handiwork. The hit was clean, the wound serious enough to warrant an ambulance. That was annoying.

“Might want to use restraint next time,” he advised, looking over at the kid. Seemed to pack some power in those fists, maybe there was more to him than met the eye. He’d need to pry later, first job was to fetch the others. Shouting for them, when they arrived he instructed them to man the door and call the ambulance. “We’ll stay inside with this idiot until they arrive,” he added. “Better than taking him out there.”

Returning his attention to his partner, some of the girls had moved to him. Kid had never been inside before, at least not properly, so chances were this was the first time they were getting a good look at him. Some were fawning over him, others were cooing his praise and his strength. “He’s not a customer,” Bazz-B reminded them. “Oi, help me drag this guy away from the showroom.”

[gotanyrubbers]

After admiring his handiwork, a small plume of dust and debris slowly rising from inside the hole containing the head of the would-be assailant, Luffy turned his attention to Bazz, whom was helping the young woman up. He was slightly confused as to why the girl was mostly naked, yet assumed that this must have been the work of the aggressor, accidentally destroying most of her clothing in the scuffle. What a careless fellow!

“Ehhh, but I handled him just like you said! You either beat someone up or you don’t!” he pouted, slumping onto a nearby couch to calm himself, yet it seemed taking even a moment to relax was inaccessible in this place, as he was set upon by many of the scantically clad female bystanders. Some simply stared curiously, others approaching and cosying up next to him. A couple even began running their fingers in circles on his chest.

‘You’re so cool, beating that scumbag up like that.’ ‘I know right, just get a load of these muscles.’ ‘You must be super tough to take out someone like that.’

‘Uh, not really. That guy was nothing special...” he replied, shifting uncomfortably as the girls continued to make what others would consider rather suggestive noises and swoons. Luffy merely considered them as noisy, what had he done to provoke such attention? Regardless, he was called back into action by Bazz, much to the dismay of his new found company. Pushing past the small group of girls, he waltzed over to the limp body in the wall, throwing a leg over his shoulder and yanking the head out.

“Where are we moving him Pinky?”

[shintenshin-archive]

He was joking, right? He had to be joking. This guy, who proudly announced where his workplace was (a seedy looking brothel near Darby Lane) was inviting her there!

“OF COURSE I WON’T GO!”

“I’m married you idiot! You don’t need to see to know what’s happening!!”

[gotanyrubbers]

“Ehhhhh. Who cares if you’re married? It doesn’t mean you can’t come out and see a fun show.”

“How would you know if you’ve never been? I haven’t been inside to find out, but from all the screams I hear it must be a pretty scary show. Everyone seems to come out pretty happy though, how is that not fun?”

[gotanyrubbers]

"So scandalous... doesn't he also work at a brothel?" e_e

“Yeah, the show they do inside always sounds really fun, you should come check it out sometime!”

“I’ve never actually been inside and seen for myself though.”

Brothel Bodyguard Banter || @Bazz-B

[bazz-b-heat]

It had been some time since Bazz-B had seen his young coworker. His assumption had been that the boy had quit, or been fired after management decided he couldn’t be trusted if he didn’t know what they were doing. His return heralded many questions, least of all why he was so bandaged. Bazz-B didn’t pry, it wasn’t his place and the two of them were hardly friends. The kids groaning was irritating, and the Quincy hadn’t bought emergency brat rations since deciding the kid no longer worked here.

The night was off to a rowdy start though, a ruckus echoing from within. Security inside should be able to usher the punk to Bazz-B and hatboy, so he wasn’t too concerned. Taking a moment to stare at his companion in disbelief at the remark, he peered inside to make sure everything was okay.

It wasn’t.

“We’re up kid,” he commanded. There was a lunatic inside who had clearly had one too many drinks, probably deciding that he could do whatever he wanted to the girls free of charge. Security inside must have been taking care of someone else or had taken their break at an inopportune time, but it was up to the two of them to sort it out. “You gonna be able to handle him?” he asked, quickly assessing the kids condition. “Don’t wanna sit this one out?”

[gotanyrubbers]

The Straw Hat scowled in response to his partner’s lack of concern for what was a serious situation for him. He had attitude of an irate rooster, and certainly looked the part. In his annoyance, Luffy almost resorted to calling him ‘Clucky’, yet the unfolding events inside conspired against this insult anyway. Probably wouldn’t work, Clucky’s a pretty cool nickname... His insults always seemed to be less than offensive unless he was particularly crude.

“What, worried about this are you?” he replied, giving his bandaged shoulder a resolute slap. “No need to worry, its all healed up now. I can take on pretty much anyone now.” His boasting complete, he quickly shoved past Pinky, rolling his shoulder over as he headed towards the source of the commotion.

What greeted him was a man’s bare bottom, the image obscuring the woman lying beneath, yet all it took was the cry of “Save me you idiots!” for him to jump into action. “Oi, you bastard! The show’s over so go home.” Charging at the posterior, his full powered fist connected, shattering the man’s coccyx bone and causing him to launch headfirst into a wall.

[gotanyrubbers]

Brothel Bodyguard Banter || @Bazz-B

His injury now mostly healed, albeit still heavily bandaged, Luffy was at last granted free motility once again, or rather, Nami was no longer quite as concerned about his inevitable escapes from the house as before. No longer excused from his obligations, he had returned once more to his guard post, with the eccentric pink-haired guy for company.

“Oi Pinky, how long until dinner?” he grumbled, impatient that it had been a whole 15 minutes since their shift had commenced, and he’d been unable to eat in that entire time. Another 15 minutes and the situation could get dire. 

The Captain’s qualms were hastily interrupted when rather irate yelling begun to echo out of the ‘performance area’, as Luffy had been told. He was yet to actually to go inside, yet unbeknownst to him, one of the employee’s cries of ‘Get out of here scumbag!!’ would likely become his ticket.

“They sure are noisy in there. Must be a good show tonight!” he mused, recalling his colleagues opinion that more noise was a good thing.

Scribbling Sidekicks (@Rukia)

[deadlywhitemoon]

That day, Rukia was in research of some books regarding her studies, just because there were summer holidays it did not meant that she had to be lazy about it. 

Unknowing the reason, her attention soon was brought by a little kid who suddenly began to talk with her like they were friends since forever. A small smile crossed her features and eventually she ended up surrounded by a bunch of kids that were enjoying her own drawings.

“Hm?” Raising her head she found a young man, with quite an excited look on his face, and with an obvious good taste regarding art. A small smile was given along with a grateful nod, “Oh? Thank you very much! This is how the good heroes successfully defeated the bad guys.”

The petite exclaimed before looking at the young man’s drawing, “Oh, that’s a very interesting and cool drawing of yours too! Who is that?” she asked with widened curious eyes.

[gotanyrubbers]

“Really?” He peered closer at the scene being depicted on the paper, determining that the rabbit with the eye-patch certainly looked the coolest. Maybe he should get Zoro something like that, since he seemed to have his eye closed all the time anyway. 

“Ah this guy, you’re never gonna believe this, but he’s a legendary hero named Sogeking! Pretty cool huh?” Glancing around to ensure the children weren’t listening, he leaned slightly closer to whisper in the brunette’s ear. “Don’t tell anyone this, but a guy in my crew is actually good friends with him!”

“But anyway, I’m kinda curious you know. What happened in this fight?” he asked, gesturing towards the page as his innocent eyes filled with anticipation yearned for a good story.

[dark-kanonji-blog]

Don jumped as the boy~’s sudden outburst threatened to obliterate his eardrums. He was used to enthusiastic fan behavior, but this one was especially rambunctious. However unlike some television celebrities, Don Kanonji was a hero of the people, and he knew the power passion can hold. Fondly, he found this boy~ reminded him of his first encounter with Ichigo, how excited that orange-haired, giant sword-wielding boy~ had been to fight along side his role model, and how strong that boy~ had grown under his tutelage.

Perhaps in this boy~, a similar talent lay unearthed…

“Of course, Boy~, Don Kanonji is always happy to please his fans,” but he did not offer his own hand to shake. Instead he focused on pulling the most stern face he could.

“HOWEVER.” Don roared, with his best imitation of a army drill sergeant. “I will not shake the hand of a Boy~ who is willing to squander his own gift for heroism! If you truly want to prove yourself to me, do so like a true hero, and talk with your fists!”

He thrust his thumb towards his cheek, his timing perfect as the music continued to play. “It’s naaaatural”

“Punch me as hard as you can!”

[gotanyrubbers]

The legendary hero Don Kanonji seemed almost shocked by the Captain’s passion for heroes. Despite not wanting to become one himself, heroes were the symbol of peace and justice, truly selfless beings that existed for others. And whilst the Straw Hat was much too indulgent in piracy to lead such a life, he admired the manner in which heroes utilized their strengths, and perhaps even modeled some of his own actions off such a mantra.

His hand jerked back slightly almost instinctively at Kanonji’s roaring refusal of the handshake, clenching as he internally lauded the hero’s resolve. “As expected of a hero...” he muttered, a small amount of fascination drool escaping his mouth as Kanonji continued to move in time with his gallant theme song.

“Now that’s more like it. Sogeking was something, but you’re definitely on a different level.” Were he in possession of his powers he’d likely stand a chance against Kanonji, yet the power of his punches without his augmentations was merely enough to send cracks throughout concrete, rather than reducing it to dust. He hoped such a meager attack would at least allow the hero to acknowledge him.

“I’m not gonna hold back, so prepare yourself!” Launching himself into the air, Luffy utilized the full force of his hips, shoulder and elbow in the right hook, the fist connecting with Don Kanonji’s cheek with a sickening crunch.
