AKAGAMI NO SHANKS
it bothers them at first.
Shanks usually is carefree, and during all of his trips across the grandline ofc he would often have flings, it might also be possible he has flings on every island his crew has landed on. but the moment he realized he had serious feelings for you , he grew unusually uncomfortable . It wasn’t like him to overthink, but he found himself wondering if he’d be holding you back.
“you know ____ I’m not exactly the most stable guy, im a wanted pirate,” he said one evening, swirling his drink in his hand as you can hear the crew celebrating their victory in the background . “And I’m older. You could do better ____. you would definitely be better off settling down with a shipwright in the city."
You rolled your eyes, “Stop underestimating me, Shanks. You wont scare me off with those type of words. im here with you, and im here to stay.”you said to him with utmost confidence
His grin returned, sheepish but genuine. “Guess I can’t argue with that.”
From then on, Shanks embraced the relationship fully. He’d grown comfortable about the age gap, capable of saying things like, “See ____ would still pick me even if im an old man” this whole thing will and has become one of the key points that makes him love your relationship more.
When anyone dared to comment on the difference, he’d laugh and throw an arm around you. “Jealousy’s not a good look for you, mate!” he’d sneer, brushing it off .
To Shanks, life was short, and love with you? it was worth any risk.

DRACULE MIHAWK
Not Bothered.
Dating Dracule Mihawk is not an easy task, age gap or not. He is known to be the best swordsman alive and not only that but he is a man of few words.
his piercing gaze often leaves you guessing his thoughts. When the topic of the age difference came up, it was you who bought it up.
“Does it bother you that I’m younger?” you asked one night, standing in the library of his castle.
He regarded you with his usual flat voice, setting down his glass of wine. “Do you really believe me to be someone who concerns myself with unimportant things like age?”
You blinked, unsure if that was an awnser you wanted to hear
Mihawk sighed, walking to approach you. “Age means nothing to me, nor will it ever matter in my life. What matters to me is compatibility, trust, and respect. Do you doubt that we share these things?”
“No,” you murmured, your cheeks warming under his intense stare.
“Then stop questioning it, Love ” he said, leaning down to kiss your forehead. “You’re my spouse, no matter what the world says.”
And that was that. Mihawk was a man who lived his life on his terms, and he could care less about how people perceive him. whats matters is he had you in arms reach.

MARCO THE PHEONIX
Somewhere in between.
Marco had always lived on the Moby Dick, his priorities are split between his crew and his duty as Whitebeard’s right-hand man. But when he met you a lively spirit a decade younger , he found himself intrigued.
At first, Marco hesitated. The age gap wasn’t an issue to him personally, but he was wary of the gossip and judgment it might bring to you. He was scared it would make you insecure and uncomfortable in your relationship. He spoke to you carefully, like he was testing the waters between you two.
“You’re sure about this?” he asked one evening as you sat on the docks together, the sun setting behind you.
“im sure marc,” you replied, placing your hands over his. “Age is just a number to me, Marco. What matters is how we feel. and i feel amazing when im with you"
His lips twitched into a smile, a rare but genuine expression. “You’re too wise for your years, yoi.”
From then on, Marco grew more comfortable with your relationship. He is protective in his own way, always making sure you felt supported. When anyone questioned the relationship, he’d brush them off with his usual calm demeanor, saying,“As long as we’re happy, nothing else matters, yoi.”
To him , as long as you are okay with it, then it wasnt a big deal for him. He just wants you to have the upmost comfort.

SILVERS RAYLEIGH
Not Bothered.
Rayleigh had seen and done it all. In his golden years, he thought his days of love and romance were behind him. Then you came along, a ball of youthful energy and charisma that reignited a spark he thought was long extinguished in his old life.
“Age gap, hm?” he chuckled one night as you teased him about his silver hair. “I’ve been living long enough to know that love doesn’t follow rules,and neither do i.”
Rayleigh adored your youthfulness and the fresh perspective you brought into his dull life. He wasn’t insecure about the gap though , if anything he found it amusing. When others raised eyebrows, he’d wave them off with a laugh.
“Let ‘em talk what they want” he’d say, pulling you closer. “We’re happy, and that’s all that matters.”
He values your presence and he was always there to share a story or give advice when you needed it. To him, the age gap was just another adventure for him.
Despite my warm feelings for the characters of Ace and Whitebeard, Marco is the one who hurts the most after this damn war. He lost his captain and his father, his home, his crew, his comrades, who dispersed around the world and finally lost another close friend.
Sometimes I really believe that Oda hates the pirates of Whitebeard…
