Propaganda under the cut.
Propaganda for Sabo x Ace:
Most people ship this for the tragedy inherent to the story but I ship it because the comedy of not realizing you were in love with your childhood best friend until he comes back from faking his death all hot and also you were so unaware gay people existed as a child you brother-zoned him. Plus like nobody gets Sabo like Ace and nobody gets Ace like Sabo.
Tragic childhood friends to lovers, Unhealthy codependent relationship, Pinning, TRAGIC
Propaganda for Izou x Smoker:
Yes, they are a crack ship. But they go so well together! Listen. Smoker being this grumpy but righteous guy, he knows what justice is. He knows pirates can't be trusted. He knows pirates are the enemy and even getting slightly friendly with one is not good (but sometimes temporarily necessary). He would NEVER fall for a pirate. But Izou? Izou is something else entirely. Izou gets under his skin in the best way possible. Izou is that dangerous, forbidden fruit that just keeps tempting him. He's so pretty, so hot, so badass, and knows just how to push the right buttons... Smoker has fallen before he even realizes what's happening. And Izou just can't get enough of his own little (yes Smoker is taller) Marine Vice Admiral. His own grumpy cat that he loves to death.

First of all, it's IzSmo 😛 Anyway, I've answered most of these questions quite some years ago too, but that was so long ago, and I don't really remember much about what I said back then and decided not to look it up so I can just answer these with how I feel about them right now. (though I don't think it'll differ much from back then)
Ask me about a ship and I'll tell you... NSFW edition (asks still open)
Who is the loudest?
Izou, definitely. Not in a way that he moans and screams a lot (though he’s probably a little louder than Smoker in that aspect as well), but in a way that he talks a lot during sexy times. He likes to tell Smoker what to do and not to do, and he loves to talk dirty.
Who is the more submissive?
Smoker, definitely. Izou likes to be quite dominant, and Smoker lets him. Outside of the bedroom Smoker would never be caught dead being anywhere near submissive, but inside the bedroom (and some other places… you get the picture) he loves to let go and be at Izou’s mercy. And like I said, Izou likes to tell Smoker what to do and what not to do. Smoker would never admit it to anyone else, but it turns him on when Izou does that.
Who is more experimental?
Izou. He loves to try out new things to see if they work for them. Smoker is open to trying new things as well, but he’d almost never suggest anything, unless it’s something that sounds really fucking hot to him.
Do they fuck or make love?
Kinda depends on who tops. When Smoker tops, it tends to be a little rougher than when Izou tops (though not always). I think these are the fuck/make love ratios: When Izou tops: 30/70, when Smoker tops: 80/20, so in total that would be 50/50 (you do the math 😉)
Lights on or lights off?
On. Definitely on. Izou relies on Smoker being able to see him. To seduce him and to bring him added pleasure. He knows how to work his looks. He wouldn’t know what to do if the lights were off. (So maybe in those rare moments where there’s no light, Smoker grabs the opportunity to reverse their roles)
Who likes sexting the most?
Izou. He loves to send Smoker spicy texts and teasing photos. He also loves to do it during the most inconvenient times for Smoker, like when he is at work. Smoker is never really one to sext much back; he isn’t good at it, feels really awkward when typing out those kind of things. Besides, it’s not really appropriate to be texting those kind of things during work and stuff. This doesn't bother Izou, because he knows how much his texts and photos affect his lover and that's all that matters to him.
Who is more likely to be caught masturbating?
Neither would catch each other, but Smoker might get caught by someone else, when Izou’s text really become too much and he has to go find a private place somewhere to relieve some pressure. He tries to make sure it’s really private though, so chances of getting caught aren’t that big, but it must have happened at some point.
Who is better at oral and who prefers it?
I-Z-O-U. Izou is amazing at giving head. He knows how to make it look amazing too, and that’s at least half of the pleasure for Smoker, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t very good at making Smoker feel good as well.
Who usually initiates things?
Izou. He loves to seduce Smoker (and is very good at it). However, that doesn’t mean Smoker never initiates things. His style is much more direct though. He doesn’t beat around the bush and let’s Izou know immediately (either with words or actions) when he wants to have sex. Izou can easily take a few hours to get Smoker hot and bothered before they really start, because he enjoys seeing how long it takes before Smoker can’t take it anymore. Doesn’t mean Izou always has the patience for it though, sometimes he’s just really horny too 🤭
Who has the most/weirdest kinks?
Smoker. While Izou might try out more things, they do more for Smoker. Smoker just… he’s kinky, alright. And he adores Izou, worships him almost. He would also definitely let Izou step on him.

Propaganda for Yamato x Ace:
its daddy issues x daddy issues, both shouldering a legacy both chosen and unchosen, both adoring luffy, and both finding kinship in destruction and freedom and THEYRE CUTE TOGETHER OKAY
They both have father issues.
The “why do you let him chain your heart too?!” Moment mid fight is peak!
What’s better than one himbo? Two himbos!
What’s better than this? guys bein dudes. Two men with daddy issues and incredible destructive capacity. Theyve both got great racks (Yamato even has two sets). The immediate connection. The height difference. The commentary on their fathers’ legacies. The drama. The angst. Ace is fire and Yamato makes ice. Theyve got it all.
Just two bros being dudes
The height difference. That's it.
They’re both dog boys your honor.
tragic boyfriends!!! they only knew each other for a few nights and yet that was enough to change both of their lives. what isnt romantic about that?
*pretends nothing ever happened* 😇 So... I guess it's about time I answer this one, isn't it? (like, a month or so later)
Who is the grumpiest in the morning
Smoker, on account that Smoker’s always a bit grumpy. I think both of them aren’t very much affected by early mornings (though Izou maybe a bit more if he’s had a long night), because Smoker is just a morning person and Izou is used to getting up early because he needs at least an hour longer than Smoker to get ready. He needs to look pretty, and his hair and make-up aren’t gonna look perfect by themselves. It takes time. However, don't talk to him before he finishes his morning ritual. He needs this time to get mentally ready for the day as well.
Who worries more when the other is sick/hurt
Izou definitely worries more. Or at least… he shows his worry more. Smoker can worry to, but he’d never let anyone know until it’s really really bad.
Who plays pranks on the other
Izou, obviously. Smoker and pranks? Never.
Who is always the first to suggest cuddling on the sofa
Izou. He needs more affection and mostly he’s not too proud to suggest it. Smoker likes it too, but he’s too proud to admit it and so, won’t suggest it very often.
Who insists on creating nicknames for the other
Izou. Izou. Izou. He’s got a whole list of nicknames.
Who says ‘I love you’ first
Oooh that’s a difficult one. I don’t think I’ve ever written a fic where either of them said those words… 😱
hmmm I think maybe Smoker would say it sooner (but not until he’s definitely 100% sure), but Izou would be more like: show it with action, not words. So when Smoker says it, he would be like ‘of course, I knew that already’ and not even realize he hasn’t said it himself, because he’s already shown it so many times, hasn’t he? While for Smoker the words mean a lot more.
Who’s the messiest one
Hmmm I guess Smoker. He’s not very messy, but he’s like ‘yeah I leave some stuff lying around, that’s how I know where things are’. While Izou is like ‘everything has its standard, orderly place and if it’s not there, I’ve lost it.’ Izou cleans up after himself immediately. When he’s used something, it goes back to where it belongs. Can you imagine having his eyeliner lying around somewhere? What if he misplaced his lipstick? Na-ah, can’t have that. Then he would have to grab another shade and he would have to change his whole outfit. So everything goes back where it belongs immediately.
He shouldn’t try to clean up after Smoker though. Because then Smoker can’t find anything back. He left those papers on his desk for a reason. Why the hell would you think his cigars need to be put out of sight? What if he needs a smoke? Leave them on the table (and the other 20 places he keeps cigars).
Who feels the most uncomfortable about PDA
Smoker. No doubt about it. He’s not incredibly itchy about it, but he’d rather not show any affection in public. Izou loves to show affection in public, though, so Smoker will just have to deal with it.
Who’s the funniest drunk
Izou. Smoker gets even more grumpy when he’s drunk. Izou just gets funnier. Starts telling embarrassing stories about everyone his company knows.
Who texts the most
Izou.
Who has the most embarrassing taste in music
Izou. Definitely. Smoker is probably a Classic Rock kinda guy. Izou listens to the most obscure stuff.
Who reads the most
Hmmmm I think they both read more or less the same amount, but when it comes to books (rather than newspapers and magazines, which they both read more than books), it’s Izou. He loves the tacky romantic novels and the odd thriller.
Who’s better with kids
Both are great, but SMOKER. Never forget the pants that ate the little girls ice cream. Smoker is fantastic with kids (I just completely don’t remember how he was around the kids at Punk Hazard 😂 but I guess that’s something to pay attention to during my rewatch)
Who’s the one that fixes things around the house
Smoker. Sometimes Izou, but only if there’s no risk of his nails breaking.
Who cooks and who cleans up
Izou, I guess. He tries his best to make sure Smoker does equally as much though, but… usually Izou’s doing the most of it anyway. Smoker is okay when it comes to cooking, but not when it comes to cleaning.
NOTE: Ara, ara, ara~ Someone's getting a little antsy now hmmm? 😗😗😗 Send me all the ships you want. You can't break me again 😈😈😈 @vergina-spva
1. Who is the grumpiest in the morning?
SMOKER - I mean c'mon. When isn't he a grumpy grump?
2. Who worries more when the other is sick/hurt?
IZOU - Izou worries more because Smoker doesn't care at all. He trusts Izou can take care of himself, which he does, but also Izou takes care of Smoker, how can he worry about Izou when he can't even take care of himself 🙄
3. Who plays pranks on the other?
NEITHER - Izou teases Smoker sometimes, and Smoker will tickle Izou when he's busy (because he's just so damned cute) but they don't prank each other.
…
Well… I can think of one prank~
4. Who is always the first to suggest cuddling on the sofa?
IZOU - Busy or not, Izou will drag Smoker's ass to the sofa and make him cuddle with him. It is Izou time meaning it's cuddle time. No excuses.
5. Who insists on creating nicknames for the other?
NEITHER - they just use they're names or the short versions of their names Iz and Smo (but the way Izou pronounces Smo it sounds like 'Sumo'. Sometimes they'll say Izzy and Smokey.
6. Who says ‘I love you’ first?
IZOU - From the moment Izou saw them lasting forever, the moment he knew Smoker was the one, the one he'd grow old with, he told him. That was the first time Smoker ever blushed. Izou has many photos of it.
7. Who’s the messiest one?
IZOU - clothes, makeup, fabric, sewing supplies, combs and brushes, hair products, loose hair, all his fluffy slippers, multi silk robes, chocolate bars and candy wrappers. EVERYWHERE
8. Who feels the most uncomfortable about PDA?
SMOKER - Izou will straight up m*lest Smoker in public - rubbing his pecs, pinching his butt, sliding his fingers up his shirt to caress his abs. Izou is a freak! And Smoker hates it because it's often in front of his co-workers.
9. Who’s the funniest drunk?
BOTH - or neither. They're quiet even when it comes to their drunken states. Izou does laugh more but he doesn't necessarily do anything that's funny. However, they both become much sexier, incredibily sexy - the both of them, once they get a little tipsy. They're fun drunks but not funny drunks.
10. Who texts the most?
IZOU - Smoker is a busy man, he can't be on his phone all day texting. Izou is a homebody and works from home so he has plenty of free time but he spends more of it dancing or crafting. When he finishes a project or outfit, he'll send Smoker a photo or quick video of his progress. Smoker really likes the dance videos but only 👍 reacted to the blanket Izou made for Marco and Ace (hohoho see what I did there?)
11. Who has the most embarrassing taste in music?
NEITHER - Izou has impecable taste in music, thank you very much! Smoker doesn't really listen to music.
12. Who reads the most?
SMOKER - He reads lots and lots and lots of reports and news articles. He is always doing research. Izou prefers movies to books (loves the HP and Narnia films, has never read any of the books. Same with twilight. All his friends hate him for it)
13. Who’s better with kids?
SMOKER - Izou is harsh with kids. He had cruel teachers growing up so he doesn't know what a gentle rearing hand is like, so he treats children like tiny adults (think Sanji strangling Momonosuke during Punk Hazard). Smoker is amazing with kids. He looks scary but he will treat them with respect and kindness (remember Loguetown?)
14. Who’s the one that fixes things around the house?
IZOU - Izou is always home so he pretty much takes care of everything. He's very handy and can fix almost anything but if it's out of his depth he'll shoot a text to Ace and he'll come over and fix it.
15. Who cooks and who cleans up?
IZOU - Again, he's in charge of the home, expenses too, so he's in charge of grocery shopping and whatnot. He usually cooks but on Smoker's days off, Smoker sometimes cooks if he feels like it or they do it together. But more often than not on Smoker's off days they go out to eat. When they have company over for dinner (family or some people from Smoker's work), Izou will cook the main part of the meal but buy the sides from the supermarket or from a restaurant (pasta salads, stir fries, etc) it makes clean up much easier and he can still say he made dinner (all compliments with only half of the work 😆😆😆)
EDIT: I forgot to paste #8 in. (I write these on notepad first. I've learned my lesson after having to rewrite this, BartoDish and Bepopper because the site glitched. Never again.)
"They couldn't be allowed to fight" Smoker and Izou, slash or platonic is up to you :D
Giving me the option to make it platonic… cute 😂
I'm so sorry, it got 18+ and a little long, so the smutty part is under the cut.
---
They couldn’t be allowed to fight, Smoker knew that. If they did, his job would be on the line.
When they encountered a bunch of Whitebeard pirates, he didn’t know which division it was, but he knew they couldn’t let them just go without even trying to stop them. He just really hoped it wasn’t the sixteenth division.
Smoker didn’t know the lower ranked pirates by name, face, or to which division they belonged, and between the trees of the forest on this island, it was hard to see them all. So, he just kept fighting each pirate he came across one by one, not daring to look for their leader, just in case.
Seeing three pirates come at him at the same time, he turned his right arm into smoke, wrapping it around all three of them. He slowly increased the smoke’s density, making it impossible for them to move, and harder for them to breath.
Without warning, Smoker was slammed against a tree from behind, his left hand held in place above his head, by a haki-clad hand, making him drop the jitte he’d been holding. The impact made him lose control over his smoke, which gave the three pirates a chance to escape.
“It’s been a while, Smoker,” Said an all too familiar voice right beside him, breath tickling Smoker’s neck.
Fuck. Smoker cursed the stirring between his legs when he heard that voice. The body pressing him hard against the tree, didn’t help either. “Izou,” he acknowledged the man.
“I’ll handle him, guys, move along,” Izou said to his three subordinates, who had just been freed from the marine’s smoke, and they scurried away. With them left Smoker’s hope at a decent ending of this fight.
Izou brought his lips close to his captives’ ear again. “I missed you.” He gave his words some more emphasis by pushing his crotch even harder against Smoker’s ass. “Did you miss me too?”
A quiet moan escaped Smoker’s throat. This was exactly what he’d been afraid of. All his life he’d been catching pirates, and they meant nothing to him. Not a single one could evoke any kind of emotion in him, except maybe anger. No one but Izou, who knew exactly what to do to him to make him horny. Every. Single. Time. And the worst thing? Izou knew it too.
Izou let go of his hand to push his collar aside, and bit softly down his neck. “I thought so.”
Having regained a bit of freedom, Smoker managed to turn himself around and he looked at Izou. Various strands of black hair had come loose, and his kimono showed a little more of his chest then usual. It really was a sight to behold. “I wish you weren’t here.”
Izou smirked, and while making sure the marine stayed pinned against the tree, he started kissing and biting his collarbone. “Why?” He asked, and Smoker felt how he let one hand run down Smoker’s chest, slowly towards his crotch. “Because you want to fuck me and you’re afraid your colleagues will see us?” The hand reached his crotch and palmed his half hard dick through his pants.
Smoker let out another moan, to his own disappointment. Fuck, Izou could read him like a book too. He didn’t have a comeback, because Izou was one hundred percent right about everything.
“But guess what?” Izou said in a deep, husky tone, while looking up, lust visible in his eyes. He kept palming Smoker’s hardening cock. “I don’t care if anyone sees us.”
Izou started to open the fly of his pants and kissed him hungrily. Smoker couldn’t protest. He wanted to, but he was simply unable to bring himself to stop the pirate. When Izou broke the kiss, Smoker finally found his voice again. “Because you won’t lose your job if anyone sees you,” he grumbled.
Izou had opened his pants and slowly started to stroke his dick. Smoker let his head fall back against the tree. Fuuck, he almost didn’t care about the fight going on around them anymore.
Izou started kissing his neck, and Smoker felt him smirk against his skin. “One of the perks of being a pirate. You should join the dark side. We have way more fun.” He pressed two fingertips against Smokers lips. “Suck my fingers.”
Smoker immediately followed his order and opened his mouth to let the fingers in. He made sure to cover them in a thick layer of saliva, before Izou retrieved them. Then he answered, “Never.”
Izou took his other hand away from Smoker’s cock and lifted the skirt of his kimono to bring his coated fingers towards his back entrance. Smoker knew by experience that he didn’t wear anything underneath.
“You don’t know what you’re missing,” Izou grunted, as he started preparing himself. He placed one leg against the tree beside Smoker’s hip, to gain better access.
Smoker’s mouth went dry just looking at it. “I miss your hand on my cock,” he answered.
A deep chuckle escaped Izou’s mouth, which send pleasurable vibes down said cock, before Izou’s hand started to stroke him again. “Fuck, Smokey, I didn’t know you were so needy.”
Smoker moaned. “I hate you.”
Izou smirked. “I know.”
From the corner of his eyes, Smoker saw a pirate and a marine fighting. They didn’t see the couple, but only because they didn’t look their way. While Smoker couldn’t deny this turned him on a bit, his worries were bigger, so he tried to raise a curtain of smoke around him and Izou, to make it harder for bystanders to see anything. However, Izou was making it difficult to concentrate.
Izou hummed displeased, while he went down to his knees, still stretching himself, and stroking Smoker’s cock. “That’s cheating, you know.” Then, without warning, he took Smoker into his mouth completely.
“Fuck!” Smoker cried out. He forced himself to look down and meet Izou’s eyes, immensely impressed by his non-existing gag reflexes. “God, how are you so hot?”
Izou hummed, not being able to talk with Smoker’s dick in his mouth. He moved his head up and down and used his tongue to drive Smoker mad. He was completely lost in his own pleasure.
Unfortunately, Izou didn’t continue this very long, and released his cock with a wet sound. “That’s enough,” he said, as he stood up. He brought his lips as close to Smoker’s ear as he could. “I want you inside me.”
Smoker moaned, just hearing those words. “Now who’s needy?” he said, as he grabbed Izou’s arms and switched their positions, pushing Izou with his chest against the tree.
Izou chuckled again, not seeming to mind the rough treatment at all. “Looks like you need it just as much as I do.”
Smoker lifted the kimono up again, to reveal Izou’s pale buttocks. He spread them out and positioned himself at his entrance. “Shut up,” he said, and pushed in.
“Ffffuck!” Izou cried out. He let out a shivering breath while he got used to Smoker’s dick inside him. Then he smirked again. “You never disappoint, do you, Smoker?”
Smoker gritted his teeth and started to move out and slam back into the man. He hated Izou. Hated him for being such a tease, and he hated him for seeking out Smoker just to fuck. He hated himself for going along with it so easily. He would teach Izou a lesson by fucking him senseless against this tree.
“I should take you in,” he said, while he kept slamming into the other man. It wouldn’t even be that difficult to just clasp him in handcuffs and drag him towards marine headquarters. But that had to wait. This just felt too good.
Izou was panting, the side of his face pressed against the tree. Still, the smirk didn’t leave his face. “Next time, Smokey. Next time you can take me in. Now I’m just taking you in.” He cried out in pleasure when Smoker changed his angle the slightest bit.
Fuck. Fuck Izou for twisting his words like that, and fuck Izou for being so hot. Smoker kept his steady, but rough pace, making both Izou and himself moan more and more.
“Fuck, Smoker,” Izou moaned. “I’m so glad I found you. Ahh!”
Smoker put one hand over Izou’s mouth to stop him from being so loud, but he never stopped pounding into him. Even if no one saw them, someone might hear them, if he allowed Izou to scream his name.
Smoker’s pace became faster and faster, and he felt that he was getting close to his orgasm.
Izou let out a muffled cry and his body tensed around Smoker, making him aware of the pirate’s orgasm. The extra pressure soon became too much for him, and with a few more thrusts he came as well.
Smoker let his forehead rest against Izou’s shoulder, to regain some breath and get his sense of the real world back. Then he pulled out and quickly closed his pants.
While Smoker got two cigars from his jacket, Izou turned around and tried to tidy his clothes a bit, still resting against the tree for support. “Damn, Smokey,” he said with a smile. “We should do this more often.”
Smoker grunted and lit his cigars. “We should not.”
Izou chuckled and stepped towards him. He gave Smoker a peck on his jaw. “But we will.” He said quietly.
Then he looked challenging into Smoker’s eyes. “Catch me if you can,” he said, and ran away.
Smoker made no attempt to follow him, but took a deep drag of his cigars and closed his eyes in a moment of reflection. This was why they couldn’t be allowed to fight. When they fought, they fucked. And when they fucked, Smoker had no desire to catch Izou anymore.
He looked around and let the smoke curtain around him disappear. It seemed all whitebeard pirates had gotten away.
