She/Her, INFP, Anime geek and One Piece freak, writer because I can't drawer, ♥ ︎'s blue and Sanji ֶָ֢ 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯
Welcome to the crap café, where I serve all my lovely Lights their orders .ᐟ Today's menu consists of :
The weekly (if not less than that..) oneshot. Topped off with fluff and angst, a typical and yet delightful seasoning that can be separate and or paired together, which is quite common and yet never boring in this region.
Headcanons, a house specialty we are known for! The classic recipe we all say "Just like Mama makes" to, because this is what our head chef first started off with following after mama, an oldie but a goodie we see constantly dished out and happily dined on!
Character analysis.. Oo lala! A newer addition to our menu which has not been served yet, but the head chef has been excited to experiment and send one out! So don't be shy to order one.
Reacts! R... r.. Ravioli.. 🤤 Ahem.. A fan favorite apparently! They came out shortly after our classic headcanons and boy did they cause a doozy round here. So if you're new and want something that has the whole house foaming at the mouth? Order one of these will ya!
Fanfics........ Not out yet! Head chef is a bit.. shyer with these..
Mix & Matches! Interested in our little café but unable to find anything on the main menu that suits your taste? Fear not! The crap café also takes requests! But.. before you order anything, we gotta go over the basics, buds.
Dos and Don'ts: I will take any request basically, but as mentioned before fluff and angst are my personal favorites. What I don't do though no matter what is; smut, non-consent, horribly graphic gore, incest, adult x minor, found family x found family/parental figure x child figure, character x character unless in a poly scenario with reader, human x animal, and just anything morally incorrect. Be polite, be appropriate, be good guys. And don't think of me as a machine to just spit out your requests, as much as I love working for the public I am a lazy and busy person! EDIT: And don't feed my work to AI nor relate it to it in ANY way! I don't sit here staring at a screen for hours and questioning my every word to get compared to a stupid machine!
Spicy? Sweet? KNY?! You may be seeing a lot of One Piece round these parts, cause yeah, head chef favors it over everything. It's got the flavor they really look for when cooking up dishes. But! Head chef also makes other dishes! KNY/Demonslayer, Naurto, and MHA are on this list! And this list will likely grow as head chef learns from cuisine all around the world!
Taggity tag tags! As for the other locations you can find our little cafe.. or well, cafes, are the ones I list here: norvwrites for writing, norvyaps for just talking, and norvanswers for responses to requests/asks! (You can also check out my strawpage for my tiktok + other socials.. 👀 strawpage is in da bio)
Seems that'll be all today friends, I'll be back for your orders shortly .ᐟ ৎ୭
Dividers by: cursed-carmine , aquazero , and astrivion . Banner is all mine! <]
Now that i've finished one request, i'd like to finish one before starting a little project of mine, a (hopefully) very long long fic for Sanji.
Not sure how it's gonna go tbh, all i know is that it's based on the song Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez.
It's a very dark fic, based on the stories i've heard on the news and books that i've read, since i'm interested in psychology i'd like to focus on the mental toll the reader takes, hopefully i can do it justice 🤞🏽
So far i've only got the warnings written out, lol 😭
Hopefully i'll get a bit further once exams have ended!!
Feel free to let me know what you think!
Whether you find interesting or not (though ignore the crappy synopsis, i'm just really bad at those T-T)
Hellooo! I was wondering if you could write s luffy x reader?
Wherein she's been with him since day one(she's their log manager)of his adventure—where he was still on his first ever boat before he got dragged into a Whirlpool typa long. With that, he's definitely closer with her. And when she goes missing/kidnapped, the whole crew just realizes how important she is to him because of how he acts when she goes missing/kidnapped.
The rest is up to you! I've had this thought since forever!
❤︎ Wanna Be Yours !
pairing: Luffy x fem!reader
synopsis: you've always been there for luffy, from the moment you both hopped into that small rickety boat all those months ago, - broke, dirty, and starving, with only his dream and your presence keeping everything together. And now that you've been kidnapped he's dedicated himself to bring you back no matter what it takes.
w.c: 3.3k
note: she/her pronouns are used, no use of y/n, third person
warnings: none
song: I wanna be yours by Arctic Monkeys
a/n: Hello~! Thanks so much for requesting, and this idea is marvellous! I'm so glad you shared it with me! I tried making it apparent the difference in Luffy's demeanour when it comes to you, and that he's no longer the carefree food-loving captain everyone's used to. Hopefully you like how it turned out, if not feel free to let me know what you'd like to change! Btw just know this is only my second time writing a long fic for Luffy so please forgive me if he appears OOC too some degree, with time i'll be able to portray him far better, but for now, take this instead! One more thing, if you're wondering where Franky is, he isn't here, i haven't reached that far in the anime so just ignore the little inaccuracies! Divder were made by the wonderful @/kodaswrld!
It had been a month since the Strawhats had set dock in the towns waters, things had been surprisingly peaceful, and gave time for the crew to gather supplies. The Thousand Sunny was finally able to get its much needed repairs after a storm had torn through its hulls.
Thankfully, Nami was able to find a nearby town, though no one had expected the repairs to take quite so long, it had finally been finished, and everyone merely began preparing for their continued journey by gathering some much needed supplies.
Nami and Robin went to buy everyone new outfits for the colder climates they were surely to meet on the way.
Sanji went to buy more ingredients that could last some another few months (and Luffy's ravenous appetite).
Zoro went out to go buy some booze, since it had all but run out. Chopper went with Zoro, since he feared the swordsman would get lost without him (he would) and because he desperately needed more medical supplies to keep everyone in tip-top shape.
Usopp remained on the ship, to give it a look over before they headed out.
And Luffy, well Luffy was hungry (when was he not?), and so he headed into town with the sole purpose of finding food, preferably meat, but anything even slightly edible would do just fine by him.
And you had decided to join him, mainly because your feared the trouble he could get himself into, but you also hoped that a new supply of ink had finally reached the shops, you were all but running out, and as the crews log manager it was your duty to log every adventure you'd encounter with the Strawhats...which, with Luffy and the crew, was a lot, and so the ink would do you good. You also hoped to find some extra paper and binding for when your current log ran out, but it would last to the next town at least, and so it wasn't as urgent.
As you both began walking towards the town, you made sure to remind Luffy of the time limit looming over both your heads.
"Lu, we should really try and make it quick this time, Nami wants us to leave before another storm rolls in, and she really doesn't want to pay for more ships part"
"Okey dokey~!" he hummed to whatever tune was playing in his head, not at all bothered by the threat of Nami launching you both headfirst into the sea, or worse selling you off to the marines for your bounty.
You shivered at the thought, turning to Luffy to urge him on faster, but at the sight of him so relaxed and happy you couldn't help but relax yourself, that was just the effect Luffy had on others it seemed, to follow him despite the risks.
And then he started singing, which wasn't unusual for Luffy in the slightest, you were actually more surprised it took him this long to start.
"Food, food, food~" he began, swinging his arms back and forth as he continued walking
"Me and (name) are getting food~" he began skipping ahead, a grin forming on his lips as he turned to stare at you over his shoulder
"We'll eat lots of meat, and go on lots of adventures~" he offered you his hand, and you couldn't help but laugh, that's just the way things were with Luffy, freeing and full of joy.
"I'll become king of the pirates and she'll be queen of the logs~!" tightly taking hold of your hand, he led you to what you hoped was a place to buy your much needed supplies.
He intertwined his fingers with yours, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, and not one that set your heart beating at a completely unnatural pace (were those wedding bells in the distance?), a soft coat of blush dusted your face and coated the tips of your ears pink as you tightened your grip, and began running ahead of him.
He glanced at you, surprised that you had let go of his hand and had overtaken him, but that only lasted a moment as he stared at you with wide eyes.
Your face, you were grinning from ear-to-ear, face tinted pink as you exclaimed
"You better not slow me down, Lu!"
His brain took a few seconds longer to catch them then he'd liked.
But then he grinned back at you, as if nothing was wrong, as if your smile hadn't just sent his mind in a very-confused spiral, as if you hadn't just forced him to wonder if he could hold onto your hand forever and ever.
Was that something friends did?
It didn't matter, he'd hold your hand however long he wanted! He was the captain afterall!
Then all of a sudden (because of course it would), his stomach began grumbling, loudly.
As a few heads turned his way, he clutched his stomach, leaning over he whimpered
"Food..."
All that thinking had made him even hungrier, and uncomfortable, not a good combo.
But he did his best not to show it, since he was about to buy food anyway, but because you were you, you had noticed.
"Hey Lu, whoever makes it to the market last has to pay for both meals!" you called over your shoulder, laughing
He grinned, not waiting another second as he raced after you, shouting
"You won't beat me (Name)! I'm gonna be the future King Of The Pirates, so the free meal will be mine!"
As you raced through the crowds of people, apologizing as you waved through the crowd, he was finally able to catch up to you.
Grasping your hand in his, he ended up forgetting about the competition completely, leading you to an open area, where only a few scattered civilians walked about, shopping at nearby market stands.
"Oi, this means you're paying dummy!" you teased, bumping his shoulder with your own, to which Luffy merely grinned, giving you a thumbs up he replied (way too enthusiastically, you couldn't help but think)
"Ok!"
As the silence settled, you couldn't help but ask
"Do you...Do you even have money?"
"Nope!"
Ah, why would you ever think otherwise?
"How're you planning on paying for the food if i hadn't come?"
"Wasn't going to"
You blinked, then sighed, of course he wasn't, he was a pirate through and through after all.
Fishing through your purse, you managed to find some money Nami had lent you awhile back.
"And I should still have enough to buy my supplies" you thought, pleased
Stopping in front of a food stall, he ordered six tokoyaki sticks (because you wouldn't let him buy the entire stand), handing you two he quickly began eating the other four.
As silence settled over you both, you began making your way to the bookkeeping shop.
He didn't notice it at first, too content with the food in his stomach and your presence beside his.
But then he stared at you, nothing obvious, just out of the corner of his eye, not in a creepy way, just in a Luffy way; open, curious, and happy.
He noticed things he wouldn't usually pay attention to, not because he didn't care but because it never occurred to him that he wasn't paying enough attention to you in the first place.
He noticed the way you looked up at him with earnest eyes, a soft pink flush dusting your cheeks, and shy smile on your lips, and all he could give you back was a stupid grin, holding your hand tighter he held up your oh so small hand in his much larger calloused one and blurted the first thing that came to mind
"You gotta hold my hand the whole way, captains orders!" and as he had hoped, you let out a laugh, carefree and content, it was the one that held him and comforted all those days stranded at sea with you in a too tight barrel. The one that made him want to stop whatever he was doing (even eating) to stare at you, as if he stared long enough, hard enough, he could capture the moment in his mind and play it whenever he wanted.
"Aye-aye captain!" you teased, giving him a joking salute, then out of nowhere you began running, still holding onto your hand he raced after you.
~
After buying the supplies you needed (even managing to find some extra paper and bindings in the back) you headed towards the Thousand Sunny, with Luffy leading the way.
But instead of seeing the open sea, you both ended up in a closed-off alleyway.
Looking up to the sky, you saw how dark it was getting, the sun just beginning to set as the sky faded from a pale blue to a dark purple.
“Shoot, guess it'll take us a bit longer to get to the ship, must've taken a wrong turn somewhere…” you muttered, already beginning to turn around, determined to take the lead this time, but not before a threatening voice shouted out from behind
“Don’t move”
Luffy immediately turned around and found himself face to face with a gruff looking older man, covered head-to-toe with all kinds of scars, otherwise known as trouble.
And so, in an ever Luffy like manner, he didn't wait a single second, smile gone, he swung back his arms in an all too familiar motion
“Gum Gum Pistol!”
“I wouldn’t do that if i were you…” another voice jeered, this time from behind him
“Luffy...”
His whole body froze at the sound of your previously laughter filled voice now reduced to nothing but a shaky whimper.
He turns around slowly, his vision tinted red, feeling nothing but an empty rage at the sight of you being held hostage, with a bloodstained knife at your throat.
Your eyes were wide with terror, limbs shaking
"There's a knife at her throat. Why is there a damn knife at her throat?!"
And for once he didn't jump first ask questions later, because this time it wasn't his life at stake, it was yours.
And that's something he would never be willing to gamble away
“Let her go” he was barely able to restrain his rage, willing himself to stay as still as possible, not wanting a misunderstanding to occur and for you to pay the deadly price.
There was a pause, then a burst of laughter as the two men jeered and taunted him, the man holding the knife pressed it against the thin skin of your throat, drawing a trickle of blood.
"We're not joking around, and you shouldn't be either. You're a pirate aren't you?"
"Yeah, so what?!" he shouted, being unable to help you outright was making him impatient and reckless, but he held back, because being reckless would only end up harming you
"Well then Mr.Pirate, we'll meet you at Otomi Cliff, be prepared to give up everything if you want her back"
Well the man spoke, a smoke bomb was dropped from above, likely from one of his allies, and they disappeared in a puff of smoke, and you with them.
Luffy didn't know a lot of stuff, he wasn't smart like Robin, he couldn't read the weather like Nami, couldn't heal others like Chopper could, he couldn't fix things the way Usopp could, he couldn't even cook to save his life, especially not the way Sanji did, and he wasn't as grounding as Zoro was.
But he knew this.
He'd watch the world burn first before he let anything bad happen to you.
And so, he raced after you.
Because no matter how hopeless it seemed, or how impossible the odds, he would chase after you - his anchor, his right hand, and his best friend, and nothing would stand in his way
✦•┈๑ ❤︎ ๑┈•✦
Nami immediately noticed the shift in the air, the cool sea air had left a sting on her skin.
Something was wrong.
Everyone else had met up at their meeting spot in front of an old closed down shop.
"Has anyone seen Luffy?" Nami demanded
"Not since we left" Usopp replied, then went on to mutter anxiously as he took a look around for you and Luffy
"He was with (Name) last I saw" Robin murmured
Nami sighed,
"Yeah, but we haven't seen or heard them yet"
"He's probably stuffing his face before we leave" Zoro muttered, eyes closed as he leaned against the building.
And that's when she saw him.
Luffy, running as if his life depended on it, smile gone and eyes darkened with a type of desperation she had never seen in him before.
"Hey Luffy-!" she shouted, running after him with the others trailing behind her
Barely catching up to him, she shouted
"Where's (Name)-"
"She's been kidnapped by thieves"
"What?!"the crew all shouted in unison
"They want me to meet them at Otomi cliff, but i need you, Usopp, Robin and Chopper to get back to the ship and get it ready, meet the rest of us at the cliff"
"Luffy, wait!" grabbing onto his arm, she forced him to a stop
He glared at her, then as if he remembered who she was, relaxed his gaze, though she could tell he was already getting restless by the way he tapped his foot.
"We need a proper plan, we can't just go rushing in, not when it'll risk (Name)'s life-"
"You don't think I know that?!" he shouted back, eyes wide with worry and fear
He was met with stunned silence.
But he continued on as if he didn't notice, because he hadn't, the only thing on his mind was you.
"I know her life's at risk, that's why we can't waste time making a plan!"
You who had been by his side through it all.
"I won't lose her!"
You who had cheered him on as he screamed his dream to the sky.
"Please Nami, just trust me."
Nami froze, as she saw the pleading desperation in his eyes.
She knew you were special to him, everyone did, but she would never have guessed it was to the extent
With a grim nod, she replied
"Ok, let's do this then"
✦•┈๑ ❤︎ ๑┈•✦
You had never been one to fear heights.
But this, this was just ridiculous.
Hanging by a single cord of thick rope, you were tied to a thick branch of a nearby tree, with a forced view of the sea below you and the occasional wind causing the rope to sway dangerously over the edge of the cliff, things were not looking good for you.
And then the all too familiar feeling of cold steel against your neck caused your thoughts to come to a sudden, terrifying, stop.
"Don't you dare to try and escape" the scarred man hissed
You snorted,
Where would you even escape too?
There was only a slight stretch of grass beneath your feet, and if you landed wrong you'd end up plummeting to your cold watery death 100 feet below.
He'd been placed as your guard, while the other thieves hide within the thicket not to far from where you were, waiting for Luffy to arrive.
Knowing Luffy he'd surely arrive anytime now, he'd be impatient and wouldn't go back to get help from the rest of the crew, rushing headfirst into danger as he always did, no matter how much you prayed he wouldn't.
You let out a shaky breath, not quite a laugh (the situation you were in was not funny), but amused nonetheless that you'd even think Luffy wouldn't do anything impulsive, he was impulsivity incarnate.
"Oi, boss! When's the pirate gonna arrive?"
For a moment he took his eyes off you, shouting at his subordinate to shut up and hide, and that was all you needed.
Slamming your foot into the side of his face, you relaxed your hold on the knife hidden in your sleeve, quickly cutting at the cord until it finally snapped.
You twisted your position so that you'd land on the small patch of land, but at the last minute you lost your balance at teetered over the edge and-
A hand wrapped around your waist, pulling you up and by his side
"(Name), you alright?" Luffy demanded, looking up and down to make sure you weren't hurt
"Yes, but what happened to the thieves-"
"We've got 'em" Zoro shouted from behind, to which you finally noticed the defeated thieves, all laying in a pitiful pile behind him.
"I'm here too (Name)-chan~!" Sanji exclaimed, waving his arms excitedly
You let out a shaky breath, but before you could fully relax Luffy picked you up, bridal style, turning to Zoro and Sanji he called out
"Let's get going, Nami and the others are waiting for us down below!"
"Down below?!" you screeched, before he launched himself, and you with him, off the cliff and into the dark waters below
"Luffy, what're you doing?! You can't swim, remember!" you shouted over the rushing of the wind, eyes shut tight as you hid your face in his chest
"Don't worry (Name)! I've got you, the ships just below us!"
Stretching his free arm so that it grabbed onto something below, he shouted an all too familiar "Gum Gum Rocket!" and brought you to safety
✦•┈๑ ❤︎ ๑┈•✦
You couldn't sleep.
Watching the lapping waves below you let out a shaky breath, the reality of what you had gone through taking it's toll.
Though, thanks to everyones help it was over now, and you were safe, heading to whatever Island Luffy had in mind next.
"(Name)"
You turned to find Luffy trudging towards you, black hair a mess, and eyes half-opened from exhaustion.
He didn't wait, slumping his full weight on top of you, he let out a happy sigh
" 'm really glad you're safe" he mumbled into your neck, arms gently wrapping around your waist as he embraced you
"All thanks to you and the crew" you murmured softly, smiling down at him as you raked your fingers through his hair
"Mostly me though..." he replied, voice low and rough as he leaned into your gentle touch
You laughed,
"That so?"
"Mhm"
Then he abruptly stepped back, staring at you with dark brown eyes that held something you'd never quite seen before, at least not in Luffy.
"I love you"
...
"HAH?!" you exclaimed with wide eyes, but then remembering the time you quickly covered your mouth, whispering
"Mind saying that again?" you demanded softly
At this he pouted, looking as if you had stolen his food,
"I love you"
"You love...me?" the last part came in a disbelieving squeak as you pointed at yourself
But he didn't give you his answer in words, after all, Luffy was a man of action.
Grabbing your arm he pulled you closer, your breath hitched as he came closer, and then he kissed you.
Soft, reverent, and warm like the sun.
You responded naturally, brushing your thumb against his cheek as you kissed him back.
It was a kiss filled with innocent love, sweet and something you wanted to savour.
But then he stepped back, and before you could say anything began attacking your face with kisses.
"Stop, that tickles!" you giggled, gently pushing him back
As you took in his grinning face, you couldn't help but be thankful that you were given the chance to be his friend.
What would my life be like if you weren't here?
You chuckled to yourself, thankfully you'd never have to know
"(Name)...(Name)?" he called, waving a hand in front of you face
You blinked,
"Uh, yes?"
"Promise me something, yeah?"
You waited for him to continue
"That you'll always stay by my side?"
You grinned, grabbing his hat from the top of his head ,you placed it on your own
" 'Course I will, after all you'll need me to become King Of The Pirates!"
a/n pt2: dating luffy can only be described in one word, spontaneous. my precious lil fatso, hopefully you thought this was decent, took so long. I'll to take a break since exams are coming, so the rest of the requests will be done in the summer! very rushed ending btw, my computer is about to die so i won't be able to read it over 'n stuff, forgive me 😔
Guys we have to make sure we remember that Imu is still the world's greatest evil, sponsoring/ordering for mass slavery, genocides, rapes, human experimentation and more on scales beyond modern comprehension for hundreds of years. We cannot fall into the trap of oh he's prettyyyy HES SO FUCKING EVIL ITS NOT EVEN FUNNYYY
I had a little bit of free time on my hands after watching some OP so I wanted to spin by and ask another quick question! WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OR LEAST FAVORITE SPOILER! I know going into a series thats so long and half way done is bound to bring some (and I see more every day, which im addicted to spoilers..😞) BUT I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE ONES YOUVE SEEN!! 🥹
Oh no...
i've seen quite the spoilers so for anyone reading this who hasn't gotten that far and does not want to be spoiled beware...
The worst spoilers i've gotten (as in the ones that ruined the suspense and foreshadowing of the earlier arcs) are:
Ace's death (ik he was gonna die and i still fell in love with his character, ugh the pain is coming for me, but i can be delulu til i get to marineford 😭)
Luffy's devil fruit isn't actually the gum-gum fruit (wdym he's the sun god Nika??)
Shanks has a twin brother?!? And he's a holy knight?? Talk about two different paths T-T
the three world resets (i don't even get this one tbh)
there's more but i can't think of the rest, these are the main ones T-T
Some of the Good/Best spoiler would probably have to do with the reveal of character backstories that only appear later in the series
Sanji's backstory (my baby went through sm, no wonder he hates wasting food 💔)
Robins backstory (even though Robin tends to stick to the background in earlier seasons, her backstory is so so sad, i would have never guesses)
Luffy's backstory (i would not have guessed his childhood was so lonely, justice for Luffy 😭. and also, why does Garp keep on throwing him into dangerous situations, leave him alone he's just a lil guy)
honestly since i'm not catching up to the series anytime soon, the spoiler are a way for me to know what the Strawhats are currently up to, which is nice in a way (does that even make sense, i'm not sure T-T)
As the main post says, we'll be talking about spoilers so look away if you don't wanna know!
But shockingly enough, though I am disappointed Ace dies, I was pretty glad to find it out instead of finding out from the show.. it helps me not grieve as hard knowing the future instead of experiencing the shock first hand LOL
And as for favorite.. thats hard. I suppose I enjoy all the positive news I hear about future arcs I haven't even touched yet! But Sanji was definitely a big favorite for me as well, I relate to him heavily with his second backstory and found WCI to be such a beautiful arc (I watched most of it thanks to my brother)
And SHAMROCK oh my gosh SHAM I was SO HAPPY to be spoiled for him because it debunks the rat Shanks theory. My brother tried to tell me my smelly goat Shanks might be evil because of that scene of Shamrock speaking to the five elders, but now that we know he has a twin we know Shanks is a good man, plus I do love Shamrock, I see potential for his character and i love the contrast between him and Shanks 🥹 which i also loved the spoilers of what Shanks did in Mariejois and how he helped slaves and was a double agent essentially etc etc
I also did enjoy the Imu spoilers though I was initially distressed to see it, his design is very appealing to me and his fruit was what I had been suspecting, AND HIS POWERS?? HIS CONTROL OVER THE KNIGHTS?? ITS SOOO CRAZY OMG
Plus learning about Loki has made him one of my favorites
And seeing Brook's backstory too though its still in motion has been amazing as well! Poor Brook, I can't imagine what he's been through 😭
AND YES THAT DOES MAKE SENSE!! I know I shouldn't see spoilers but I can't help it, they're too juicy and I have to know if our strawhat crew is okay! 💔
Goth fam, but instead of Mihawk being father to Perona and Zoro, he is only father to Zoro and Perona belongs to Moria. And Perona & Zoro met first, causing Mihawk and Moria to meet and continue to hang out together because their little weirdos liked each other in some way. And yeah, now it's a found family cousins/uncles dynamic.
lowkey bothers me when ppl make content about the seraphim going to the warlords they were cloned from when they’re free. because those babies absolutely should go to king
Rob Lucci as a lover who secretly cares more than he wants to admit.
Who cares by silently observing as you returned from a failed mission, being ridiculed by Spandam in a subtle and yet not so subtle way, in front of the entire team. Enough to not get his ass beat and yet enough to make your brows twitch and your eyes glisten.
Who cares by then staring daggers into Spandam after you leave earlier than the rest of them, while the scumbag continued debriefing with the rest of them. Spandam sweat so much they were eventually excused 10 minutes after you.
Who cares to locate you in less than five minutes after those ten minutes passed and find you sitting silently in your shared quarters. Staring out the window, seemingly fine, but to him? You weren't fine. He could always tell.
Who cares by instead of sending himself in, because he couldn't be seen standing for your failure himself, he sends Hattori. And he listens silently behind the otherside of the doorway as his bird coos and find his way onto your arm.
Who cares so much to draw restless at the scent of your sorrow in your air and eventually finds himself performing ventriloquism through Hattori once more. Perhaps this is why he never told you the bird couldn't talk, always amusing you when you spared Hattori a glance or a question instead of bursting your bubble. Maybe he knew one day.. He'd play it to his advantage.
Who cares enough to do what he does for no one, speak reassurances and somewhat kind words through his bird like it was his alter ego. Cooing things so closely akin to sweet nothings from his nearby position. Somehow stealthy enough, close enough, clever enough to speak through Hattori without being caught. To see you smiling in relief as he finally revealed himself and Hattori flew off with a last coo before perching on Lucci's shoulder.
Who cares enough not to question why Hattori had been with you, what happened, and even previously what Spandam said. He just played the fool, though he knew he was anything but the part.
This may be a bit ooc for Lucci, though I tried my best to stay canon for this little drabble idea I had.. but come on guys, realistically in canon? This man is not a lover and if he was he'd be a horrible one.. But I still love him tho! And this idea I had of him lwk hating being openly affectionate or caring so he makes Hattori do it for him. ^^
PS: creds to uzmacchiato & strangergraphics for the dividers!
The mission had been simple: get close to King the Wildfire, learn his secrets, then get the hell out.
Unfortunately, King turned out to be less of a masked BDSM idol and more of a starving apex predator who had spent thirty years pretending he didn’t need affection.
You cracked through the armor, the mask, the walls, and whatever deeply repressed emotional disaster was living underneath. Getting into King’s bed had taken skill, planning, and nerves of steel.
And it was a huge mistake because now you are trapped.
The next morning, you wake up and discover King has attached himself to you with the determination of super glue and the grip strength of a hydraulic press.
You attempt to leave. His arm tightens.
You attempt diplomacy.
“No.”
You attempt bribery.
“No.”
You attempt escape while he’s supposedly asleep.
A single golden eye opens.
“No.”
He isn’t even threatening you. You’ll soon discover he’s known about your little game a long time, which should be a death sentence, but won’t be because he’s finally found something he wants.
You said you're okay with requests, so here it goes:
How would Law be with a mute fem!reader? Whether the reason for her being mute is for social reasons or injury reasons, I think this would be a really cute pairing
>:3
-🦌Anon
thank you for this request, i absolutely loved writing this!! i think i just fell in love with the idea of law understanding you on a level that nobody else does. i really hope you like it <33
"do you want tea or coffee today?", law asks.
he's standing at the counter preparing your beverages, while you've already made yourself comfortable in your designated seat at the kitchen table.
it's your little joint morning routine. a hot drink shared in the quiet of the early morning hours on the polar tang.
some mornings you have the galley all to yourselves, whereas other times some of the crew are already up, going about their own routines. law knows you don't mind either way. you like sharing the quiet with other people. but he prefers to have you all to himself during these rare moments of peace. he's greedy like that. at least when it comes to you.
this morning there are already a few other people tiredly hanging around. someone's setting up the supplies to make breakfast.
law looks up from his tinkering at the counter and does a quick scan of your face before nodding to himself and pouring you a cup of coffee along with his own. the only difference being the sugar he adds into your cup, knowing that you prefer it that way.
he carries the mugs over and places the sweetened one down in front of you.
"here you go, my love", he mumbles, still tired. he was up half the night finishing up some more or less important work. (he could've easily done it another time but he likes to torture himself when it comes to sleep, apparently.)
"wait, what?", law hears someone say, shaking him out of his thoughts.
"hm?", he shakes his head a little and needs a second to focus his eyes to be able to find the source of the voice.
"why did you ask what drink she wants if you're just gonna give her coffee anyways?", ikkaku asks, seemingly confused.
which in turn confuses law. he did give you the drink you requested, didn't he?
he looks at you for confirmation and you give him a smile, contently cradling your mug in your hands.
"she wanted coffee. i gave her coffee", law says to ikkaku, still not quite grasping what she's on about.
ikkaku gives him a look that somehow manages to be concerned and call him stupid at the same time.
"you didn't sign anything right?", ikkaku asks you now.
most of the crew picked up sign language ever since you joined the heart pirates, so that you can communicate with them. some are better at it than others but it usually works out pretty well. and it's nice not to have to write everything you want to get across down on paper.
you shake your head no in reply to ikkaku.
ikkaku looks back at law accusingly.
law sighs.
"captain, are you sure you're getting enough sleep?", shachi chuckles from out of the corner on the other side of the dimly lit room.
"she didn't need to", law says in resignation, internally mourning the peaceful morning this could have been.
"huh?"
"she didn't need to sign it for me to understand."
"what do you mean?", ikkaku inquires.
"how?", shachi says at the same time.
law takes a sip of his coffee. he's too tired for this.
he glances over at you to see if you want to be the one to explain how law understands you, even when you don't use sign language, or words for that matter, but by the amused look on your face he understands that you're enjoying yourself way too much to clear things up. so it's up to him.
he runs a hand through his already tousled hair.
"it was a simple question. i just looked at her and i knew. it's not that complicated", he mumbles into the rim of his mug.
"but how do you know?", ikkaku asks.
law's eyes meet yours again, gaze dancing over your still sleepy, but all the while pretty features, and he shrugs.
"i just do", he says softly, a small smile playing on his lips.
"okay, so let me get this straight", shachi makes his way over to the table and sits down next to ikkaku. "you just have to look at her to know the answer?"
"sometimes it works that way, yes."
"so if i were to ask what she wants for breakfast, you'd be able to tell me with just a look?"
law sighs for the second time this morning.
"i suppose so, yes."
shachi turns to you.
"what do you want for breakfast?"
you lock eyes with law and for a moment he forgets all about the irritation flaring up in the back of his mind, due to his crew's early morning shenanigans. for a moment it's just you and him and nothing else.
"so?", shachi asks impatiently. "what is it?"
law sighs for the third time.
"banana pancakes."
"banana pancakes?", ikkaku questions. "really?"
both her and shachi look at you expectantly.
you give them a small nod.
shachi almost falls out of his chair.
"is this telepathy? witchcraft? how do you do that?"
law pinches the bridge of his nose.
"calm down, please?", he grumbles.
"how come we've never noticed this before?", ikkaku mutters, likely more to herself than to anyone else present.
"i can't believe our captain is a witch", shachi puts his head in his hands in despair and law has to resist the urge to push him off his chair for real.
it's too early for this shit.
"he's not a witch, you idiot, they're just connected like that. have you seen them? they're basically soulmates", ikkaku scolds.
law rolls his eyes at that.
of course he understands you.
you're everything to him, and he'd do anything for you. he'd jump off the edge of the earth, fly to space just to bring you back a star, law would fight every sea king in the world with his bare hands if you asked him to. and he'd do all this and more just to be able to know your thoughts.
luckily he doesn't have to.
law hears you, even though you've never said a single word to him. you don't need to say anything for him to understand. he just knows.
and yeah, as cheesy as it sounds, maybe ikkaku is right, he thinks. maybe, in a way, you are soulmates.
this special bond has always been there, like a secret shared between just the two of you, from the very first moment.
law has always liked the quiet. when he first laid eyes on you, it felt like you were an island of peace in the middle of the chaos of this strange world. serenity in the middle of a raging storm.
it was more about your general nature, rather than the fact that you never spoke a word to him. when you locked eyes for the first time, it felt like coming home, even though he'd never seen you before. you were his safe space from the very start.
and he just knew.
whenever he looks into your eyes now, it's like he can see your entire soul at once. your deepest thoughts, faintest desires, your most desperate dreams are all spread out before him with just a look.
law knows that you're simply honest like that. you're an open book to him because you want to be. your insides are practically laid out bare before his eyes, because you let them, you put them there willingly. because he's always taken you exactly for who you are and because you've always seen him exactly as the man he is.
you know each other so deeply, it would be terrifying in any other case. it's raw trust.
it's love at it's very core.
law reaches out to carefully take your hand in his under the table. your eyes meet and the world stops spinning for a short while.
until shachi cracks a bad joke, ikkaku snorts, the door slams open and law comes back down to earth, noticing more members of the crew slowly piling in one after another in search of breakfast.
you squeeze his hand and give him a look and he exhales a soft smile.
"i love you too", he mutters, so quietly that only you can hear it.
and for a moment law dwells on the irony of it, because isn't it funny, you being the only one to hear him, when so often he is the only one to hear you.

a/n: i would just like to say that i personally do not know anyone who is mute. i did some research to get a better image of how communication might work for a mute person, but obviously i'm aware that the way law communicates with her is not a realistic scenario (and it's not supposed to be).
