I wanted to write a fanfic about this, but since I can't right now, here's a summary: King Mihawk tries everything to get his son to marry so he can take the throne so Mihawk can finally retire. Zoro and Luffy always manage to thwart Mihawk's plans by faking Zoro's death to any suitor who appears. One day, Law, who recently moved to the kingdom to become the royal court physician, accidentally enters Luffy's cave looking for medicinal herbs and finds the two of them. Zoro immediately develops a crush on Law!
Vibe: adventurous, wild, playful, protective, fantasy AU, emotional, bonded souls
Summary: After a playful dragon chooses you as his rider, your lives intertwine in a fierce, unbreakable bond.

The forest smelled of spring, and all around, branches rustled under the gentle touch of the wind. The sun penetrated the tree crowns, drawing golden patterns on the moss.
Today, there was something different in the air. The air was charged, like before a storm. Or rather, like before, something important. And then you heard the sound. Or rather, the sounds.
"ShiShiShiShi," laughter echoed along with the thud of footsteps.
You turned just as a huge shadow emerged from behind the trees. Everything went dark for a moment, and then you saw a dragon.
Red scales edged with gold gleamed in the sun, and its eyes sparkled with playfulness. Not anger, not the wildness you would expect from such a beast. But as if it was making fun of you.
And it began to circle you. Low, just above the ground, it jumped from branch to branch. And then it turned sharply and launched itself directly behind you.
You yelped in shock. Your instinct told you to run. You took off, stumbling over roots and trying to get away. You had the impression that this dragon was not hunting you. But rather playing.
Every few steps, you heard it land, its claws scraping on stones or sliding between the trees. And then it climbed up again, circled you, and again "scared" you gently by leaping just behind your back.
Now it jumped so close that you tripped and fell into the grass, gasping for air.
"This isn't fair!" you exclaimed between laughter and gasps.
The dragon walked up to you and stood directly above you, looking as if it was laughing. It bent down, stretching its head towards you, and began to sniff you.
And at that moment, everything changed. A dragon mark appeared on your palm, and Luffy, as you later found out, the dragon that was called was now your dragon, and you were his rider.
From that day on, you were inseparable. Luffy was like a living fire, wild, spontaneous, eternally hungry, and stubborn. But next to him, you felt safe. His laughter accompanied your every step, and his scales shone like the setting sun.
You trained together. You learned to sit on his back while he jumped from place to place. Luffy could also change from a dragon into a human and vice versa. And as a human, he was just as lively as a dragon. And he had the same dragon appetite.
But the peace didn't last long. One evening, as you were running through the forest, the air suddenly turned cold. The forest fell silent, and Luffy stopped. He lifted his head and listened.
And then you saw him. Another dragon emerged from the depths of the forest. Black scales, as matte as night, and eyes pale and cold. He looked like the complete opposite of Luffy.
"Another dragon?" you whispered, pressing against Luffy's body. You didn't know why, but this dragon sent shivers down your spine.
The black dragon didn't attack immediately, it just circled you, like a predator waiting for the right moment. Luffy reared up, growling angrily, but the dark dragon didn't even flinch. You jumped off his back just in time before they lunged at each other.
The fight began. The air was filled with roars and flames. Luffy fought wildly, his attacks were fierce, unpredictable, but the other dragon was calm, precise, as if it knew his every move in advance. The red dragon was taking hits, blood dripping to the ground.
"Luffy!" you cried out, your heart breaking. You wanted to help him, but the dark dragon was getting closer to you. Its breath was icy, and its eyes had a strange, captivating power.
You looked at Luffy with concern. He got up again, even though he was staggering. There was no fear in his eyes. Only faith. Faith in you.
The dark dragon approached you. Luffy saw you, and he roared angrily, got back on his feet, and struck. This time, he swept the dark dragon away. He began to attack him mercilessly. You had never seen him so angry.
Now it was the black dragon that was bleeding. Before you knew it, it was over. The black dragon chose to flee.
Luffy fell to the ground, breathing heavily, injuries covering his sides. He tiredly changed into a human.
"You fool," you breathed out as you touched him. "You let yourself get so hurt because of me." You immediately started tending to his wounds.
"I will never give you to anyone," he replied firmly. He closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling.
"I wouldn't want any other dragon," you replied and stroked his hair.
He was trembling, exhausted, but he was still smiling his typical playful smile.
"ShiShiShi... I trusted you," he mumbled, took your hand, and pulled you closer. You couldn't resist. You pulled him closer and kissed him. All the fear, pain, and uncertainty disappeared.
In that moment, you knew that even if other dragons came, other threats, nothing would separate you. Because you and Luffy are one.
Zoro senses a threatening presence behind him. Don’t worry though, Luffy’s just curious.
Au idea I thought of where Luffy is a dragon who basically just collects the straw hats for his hoard.
Maybe in this Zoro is like, a monster hunter and was hired to hunt down the dragon living a few kilometres out of town. On the way there he (obviously) gets lost and just runs into Luffy completely by accident. The dragon slaying doesn’t go very well and Luffy decides to just take him home. Zoro is a little mad about it at first but gets over it when he realizes he’s not homeless anymore and the dragon cave is surprisingly comfortable compared to sleeping in the street or shady motels.
Dragon Luffy inspired by THIS fan fiction by sweetcupcake2234 on Fanfiction.net. I’m thinking of turning the middle and bottom right ones into pins, what do ya’ll think?
This was really fun to draw and it turn out better than I had hoped! Enjoy!
Summary: When you’re cold, each of them shows their care in their own way.

Dragon Luffy
If you tell him you're cold, he won't offer you his vest and will just hug you and warm you up with his little wings. Luffy's like a little heater.
Other times, he can turn into a dragon, where he's much bigger than you and he wraps himself around you and warms you with his wings, keeping you warm on all sides.

Corpse groom cook Sanij
Sanji would do anything to keep you warm.
For example, when you're on the boat and you mention you're cold, he'll immediately give you his jacket as a base and take you to the kitchen where it's always warmer. Plus, he'll wrap you in a blanket to make sure the cold doesn't get to you.
But it doesn't stop there. Sanji prepares you a cup of warm tea and a bowl of soup that he has been cooking for at least a day, especially for you and Nami and Robin.
After that, he'll make sure you're warm and hug you through the blankets.
He's sure his touch is cold compared to the others, other crew members who can compete with the heating. You don't mind though, you love his little touches that remind you of snowflakes.

Tiger Zoro
You always try to look strong and when you're cold, you'd rather shiver in silence until you reach warmth, at least in front of Zoro.
You were out with Zoro and you were cold. You were shivering, but you didn't want to look weak.
"Hey, stop," he said to you out of the blue. You didn't really want to stand still since it was still freezing. You were about to ask what was wrong when you noticed Zoro taking off his coat.
"Next time, tell me if you're cold. Who's supposed to listen to the chattering of teeth? Let alone if you catch a cold because of it," he said as if it was the biggest annoyance in the world and threw his coat over your shoulders. It was nice and warm and you snuggled into it more.
"Thank you," you thanked him. You were about to ask what he did to keep me from being cold for you when he shifted into his hybrid form and green fur sprouted on his body.
"One day I'll be the best swordsman in the world. Something like the cold won't stop me," he said determinedly when he noticed your look.
After an hour, a snowstorm appeared and you had to take cover. You built a fire and Zoro hugged you from behind to make sure you were warm. You fell asleep like that.
Summary: How they react when someone else gets a little too close to you and how their jealousy shows in their own way.

Dragon Luffy
If Sanji was flirting with you, he doesn't mind. He trusts his crew and knows that you belong only to him. Moreover, you are all part of his treasure.
However, when you are away from the ship, he keeps an eye on his treasure…unless something catches his attention. He still drags you along. Despite all that, he pays attention to you, but he can't always tell what it is.
You were just on a new island and you were gathering supplies for a new voyage. You were at the market with Luffy, looking at the stalls. Luffy was at the fountain watching the water spray to the beat of the music.
You watched with him for a while before you noticed a stall with marinated cured meats. There was a young quite handsome young man who, when he noticed you, tried to attract you closer.
You knew he was interested in you by his words and how he looked at you. He also gave you samples to taste and you had to admit that the meat was excellent. You tasted it and thought you could snag it for a discount.
Once the fountain finished, he looked around and saw you laughing at some joke with the salesman. In addition, the seller offered you a piece of meat and tried to feed it to you. He didn't like that and was at your place in no time.
“Y/N there you are!” he shouted, wrapping his arms around your waist like an octopus. He was smiling at you, but you noticed the murderous look he was giving the shopkeeper. Plus you heard him growl softly.
“Luffy, what do you think of this meat?” you asked him innocently, taking the piece the vendor offered you and shoving it into Luffy's mouth, he immediately calmed down and chewed contentedly.
"It's good, isn't it?" you smiled Luffy with his mouth full and offered with from the tray. He took all the pieces and stuffed them into his mouth, seeming to have completely forgotten what had upset him in the first place.
You bought several pieces of meat. Luffy took one bag in his hand and took your hand with the other and you made your way to the ship.
As you were leaving, you heard a noise. You turned over your shoulder and noticed that he had demolished the booth in question with his tail. You heard him chuckle in satisfaction.

Corpse groom cook Sanji
Sanji was jealous almost every time but it depended on the circumstances. When he saw that someone was bothering you and that you were not comfortable, he wasn't afraid to get his feet dirty.
He could simply see them, but he didn't want you to see him like that. He knew you didn't mind, but he didn't want to expose you to it unnecessarily.
However, when he sees you with someone alive, with whom you are comfortable, and how you smile contentedly, it breaks his heart.
He saw you happy and that mattered to him. Therefore, he lowered his head and was determined to let you go with someone alive, with whom you will be happier.
On the ship afterwards, he kept pointing out how happy you were with another man and the like. He told you that you should follow your happiness, that he doesn't want to stand in your way, that he doesn't want to hinder you and the like.
It annoyed you a little, because you only had a place in your heart for him, but he was so deaf. He didn't listen to you at all and kept talking to himself.
That's exactly why you had to show him. A hug worked best for him, but a kiss on the cheek was enough to stop thinking about it and return to normal.
If you wanted to bring him to his knees and shut him up 100%, you kissed him on the lips. You didn't have to worry about him bleeding to death since he was already dead, but sometimes you did worry if you were overdoing it.

Tiger Zoro
Zoro thought to himself that he wasn't the jealous type as he trusted you and knew he could count on you.
If it was an annoying cook, he made his jealousy clear and wasn't afraid to fight because of you.
Most of the time he didn't mind when you were making out with a stranger, but if it went on too long or there was any touching or flirting, he got worried.
He was watching you from afar, and if the situation didn't turn out to his liking, he could easily step in.
You were just talking to a young swordsman who seemed to think he had a chance with you and who even kissed your hand. That alone was a warning sign for the tiger.
Zoro stood to the side leaning against the house, never taking his eyes off of you. He had confidence in you, but he didn't like the swordsman at all.
Another exclamation point appeared as you were about to leave and he kept hovering around you like an intrusive insect.
Zoro immediately walked over to you and you could tell he didn't like the situation. He had black streaks all over his body and one hand rested on the hilt of his sword.
“Hey Y/N, everything okay? he asked you, standing next to you. His tail wrapped around your leg lightly. Although he tried to appear calm, he couldn't control the snarl tearing its way from his throat into words.
"Absolutely. I was just saying what an amazing boyfriend I have," you replied, hooking his hand before smiling at him. You were quite glad that he came to you and helped you from this poisoning.
As you calmly returned to the ship and crawled into your room Zoro followed you. You were lying in bed and you noticed that the tiger was much cuddlier than normal. As soon as you asked him if he was jealous before, he denied everything.
