Heya, I have an idea that has lived rent free in my head since I started watching one piece. I've always been a huge demon slayer fan, and my favorite character is mitsuri I love her style and personality, and her whip like sword is awesome. With the first two episodes of the new hashira training ark now out, could I request a mitsuri like reader? I'm unsure about the characters/crew so I'll leave it up to you. I'll be happy either way
And seriously remember to take breaks it's important and stuff- also just a question what got you into one piece and who is a character you love? If you've watched demon slayer, what if your favorite character from there too?
Sweet Warrior (Whitebeard pirates x Mitsuri!Reader)
A/N oh! I am exited for this one guys, lil but different from my usual one’s as we got both quite a bit of action/fight scene and we got a tiny but of romance in there! Also Holo sorry it ook me like literally 6 months to get to this but it finally is here! I had lots of fun writing this piece and getting to look into mitsuri’s character especially having it interact with the different members! I answered the questions here just so that I din’t overwhelm this section!
Reader here is replaced by Dokucha which stands for Reader in japanese for the enjoyment of both oc and reader character readers!

"Are you ready, Jozu?" Dokucha called from across the field
"I am ready!" he boomed as he activated his devil fruit ability; he dug his hands into the ground and began lifting the earth below him.
"Aha! So we're starting up big, Brother Jozu!?!" She exclaimed in glee as she propelled herself forward, whipping out her urumi. She cartwheeled her way up the raised bed, skillfully avoiding the flow of her sword as it spun around her. Its sharp edges made quick work of the ground below her, splitting it into smaller pieces that fell victim to gravity.
She grinned, doing a swift salto to make her way to even ground and away from the crumbling earth that she had left behind.
Not one to be outdone, Jozu was quick to step up his game, and he once again dug his hands into the ground and began pulling out huge parts of the soil and rocks and hauling them toward the swordswoman.
She let out a smile as she sprinted towards both the diamond man and the incoming barrage, throwing herself on a walkover as she maneuvered her sword in a small spiral in front of her. She watched with satisfaction as it wrapped around a particularly big-sized chunk of earth. Allowing the projectile to propel her off the ground and over the chunk itself, she put both hands on the sword and pulled down; aided by gravity, she watched with satisfaction as it was sent crashing into the ground as she continued sprinting closer to the man.
"That won't work for me, Brother Jozu! You are going to have to come after me yourself if you want to win!" She laughed as she cut the remainder chunks with a simple whip of her sword
"That's the spirit!" He laughed as he covered himself in a diamond armor as he threw himself forward
"What is mah beautiful Wife up to now?" Thatch called as he entered the Kitchen, placing a chaste kiss on the woman as he passed by, smiling as the action was rewarded by a small giggle
"I'm preparing something sweet; the boys are going to be here soon," she announced with a grin on her face.
He hummed, wrapping his hands around her from behind and placing his head on her shoulder.
"Is there any special occasion? It seems to be keeping ya busy as a cat on a hot tin roof," he mumbled.
"Not really; I just thought it would be nice to have a small gathering. The crew parties are great, but it's hard to mingle when there are hundreds."
"That's fair, but I hope ya know Ace is gonna devour those," he teased, looking down at the baked goods that she was preparing.
"I prepared various batches already; there's enough to feed me him and then some," she proudly stated
"Aren't you precious? Ya have everything figured out, don'tcha" placing a kiss on her cheek with a dopey smile on his face.
"I am your wife, after all; did you expect anything less?"
"Alright, lovebirds, knock it off. We're here-yoi," Marco Called, strutting into the Kitchen with Ace and Izou following shortly after him, taking their seats in front of the couple.
"Ah! You're here!" Dokucha squealed excitedly
"Here! Please help yourselves. I made enough for it to fill your bellies, including you, Ace!" she grinned, passing the commanders the various plated goods.
“Thank you, Dokucha!” Ace grinned, digging in.
"Here, Marco, you won't like these," She called, noticing the Jian Dui in front of the man and exchanging it for a plate of sunset cake.
"That one had red bean filling; this one, I believe, is more up your alley; it has pineapple filling!"
"Appreciate it-yoi," he called with a smile.
"Dokucha, Do my eyes deceive me, or is this daifuku?" Izou excitedly called, bringing the dessert closer to him as he examined the colored balls.
"Ah, yes!" You mentioned you were missing Wano's pastries, yes? I tried my hand at some of them! I hope they are to your liking!" she beamed.
"Darling, you are a blessing," Izou called, breaking the dessert in half with a fork and putting the sweet in his mouth, letting out a satisfied sound as the filling melted in his mouth.
"Thatch remind me how she married a barbarian like you?" he questioned with a smile.
"Izou, you looking for a fight, ya bastard?!" Thatch growled
"There, There, dear, he didn't mean it that way."
"Actually, I was wondering too since I joined you guys," Ace cut in
"If I weren't at the wedding, I would have found it hard to believe as well-yoi."
"Oh? Did I really never tell you the story? I would have thought this goofball would have talked your ears off about it already," she questioned
"Never came up," He grumbled, hugging her close.
"We met when Thatch beat up my ex]" she piped up, choking up the men in front of her at the brazen statement
"W-What?" Ace questioned
"Don't say it like that! The bastard had said only a boar or a cow would marry er and I lost it!"
"He said what?!" Izou exclaimed, slamming his utensils down on the table
"Ah, come on guys, calm down. I will tell you the story, but please remember this was in the past, and I am now a very happy woman!" She cried, waving her hands in front of her, trying to calm down the angered men
"Who the hell could say something like that to you, Dokucha!" Ace growled
Marco stayed quiet, but everyone could see the fury behind those half-lidded eyes.
"Ah, well...I come from a small village, you see. I had quite a big family; however, I was the only girl among them, and as such, I had many of my brother's mannerisms...I developed more strength than the other girls in my village due to the constant scuffles I had with them. I had also gotten their appetite; I was and still am quite a voracious eater. That last one is why it comes so easy to me to cater to you, Ace, since, believe it or not, we share the same magic stomach!" she giggled.
"And as you can see, I was also born with pink hair, and in my village, such vibrant colors were unheard of. My ex, who was a potential suitor back then, turned me down because of these traits, so I tried to fix myself," she narrated, ignoring the frowns on the men at her last statement.
"I pretended to be weaker than I was to be seen as more lady-like. I began to eat less to match the other girls' eating behaviors, and I began to dye my hair black," she mumbled.
"It's why my hair was so disastrous when I joined you guys; it had been surviving on box after box of dye. Which is why I appreciate your heavenly help in nursing it back to health," she joked, looking up at Izou.
"After I did, I tried again. I met with him, but he had said that he just couldn't turn a blind eye to these things and left saying those things. Thatch happened to be around the area at the time, and he jumped on the guy." She sighed as if remembering the day, though surprisingly, a smile grew on her face as she did, placing a hand on her cheek and leaning on it.
"This goofball said that he had to be a boar because he believed me to be the most beautiful gal he had set eyes on and that he would be elated to even be allowed the opportunity to court me, and so I did..."
"..."
"Damn, Thatch, didn't know you were capable of being that smooth," Ace drawled, grinning at the man.
"Hmph, I had to step up my game if I wanted to be considered by this darlin'," he called as he kissed her cheek softly and embraced her once more.
"He did; it was only when he came into the picture that I finally started to go back to normal. I gained my muscles again, and I was able to recuperate my fighting abilities as I was no longer in danger of dropping of hunger!" She cheered
"Not only him, though. I'm also glad I met you guys, too. I got myself so many big brothers along with a husband. You know, the old village also looked down on me practicing swordsmanship, so I was really happy when Vista and other crewmates first approached me inquiring about it.
I was amazed that someone would actually be interested in my skills, not only interested but willing to help me strengthen them as well!"
"Well, your skills are quite formidable. I had never and still have not seen anyone who comes close to wielding a sword like yours and with such grace. It is like watching a dancing performance; I highly enjoy watching you spar." Izou grinned as he resumed eating his dessert as he praised her
"Ya should have seen her spar with Jozu this mornin'! She was stunnin' out there." Thatch grinned.
"Alright, Casanova, I have to get more ingredients from the storage room. Be sure to behave; she called warningly as she untied her apron.
"Love you," She mumbled, giving one last kiss to the man as she made her way out.
"Remind me what Village She came from?" Izou asked once he had made sure she was out of earshot
"I already skinned em."
"Atta boy"
How about them apples ya’ll haven’t written a non-child one in a while! Much one with romance undertones! But I am actually quite happy how it turned out! My biggest pride is that action scene, I sjould stop talking about it but i’m just so proud of myself so let me have this!
I really went heavy on the research for this one guys, the first part I had to go frame for frame on that one scene with mitsuri while also looking gymnastics and acrobatic terms to better write out the scene. For the second part I had to research the likes of the characters by looking at their trivias online and based on that research pastries. Things like Marco least favorite food being Beans, and so I searched for a bean pastry and a pineapple pastry. Since Wano is based on japan I also research some japanese desserts to fit the bill. And I of course had to research some southern slang for out lovely Thatcher 🤭
Once you reached your hand in you, felt around and pulled out a diamond necklace. You looked at the necklace admiring its beauty, and didn't notice the 3rd division commander walking towards you. You were admiring it because it looked handmade but at the same time too classy to be handmade. You felt the necklace get taken away from your hands. You noticed Jozu smirking at you before hooking the necklace around your neck. You blushed and smiled.
"You can have it; it suits you well." He said.
"Thank you. It's beautiful." You said, and you felt Nami push you both into the closet and lock the door. You shifted as you looked at Jozu, standing close to you but giving you enough room to move.
"Do you want to play Jozu?" You asked, and he grinned.
"I was hoping you would want to play. Let's not waste time since we only get 7 minutes." He said, and he picked you up so you could reach his lips, and he pressed his chapped ones against your own. You inhaled his scent blushing as you moved your lips with his as he held you close. You hugged his neck. He sat back on the couch in the closet and sat you on his lap. His hands went straight to your waist and slipped underneath your shirt. He wanted to feel how soft your skin was. Your lips were too addicting, and he didn't want to break this kiss. He kept tracing his fingertips along your sides.
You straddled him in a more comfortable position before breaking the kiss to breathe, and he placed his huge hands, resting them still on your waist. He grinned as you leaned down and kissed his neck, nipping at the skin. He blushed, but you were too caught up in the moment, and you didn't want it to end. He pulled you away from his neck and kissed you again. One of his hands was placed behind your head so you wouldn't break from the kiss. You tapped his shoulder, but he ignored it even though he knew that tap was to say the 7 minutes was almost up. He pushed his tongue into your mouth just as the door opened. He picked you up again, not breaking the kiss. You managed to part from the kiss, flushing.
"You put me down."
"Not a chance I didn't get satisfied. I want the kiss longer." He grinned and kissed you again. The Whitebeard pirates let out whistles, and you flushed but kissed back. Once he finally parted the kiss, he sat you in the lap.
"Be my girlfriend (Y/N)."
"I would love to."
"Great, because I love you."
"I love you too, Jozu."
"Does that mean you are joining the Whitebeard Pirates?" Ace asked. Luffy stopped eating meat.
"NO, SHE IS MY NAKAMA!" You laughed, shaking your head.
"Luffy wouldn't ever allow that. Plus, I am loyal to the Straw Hat Pirates." Ace puffed his cheeks, and so did Jozu.
*pulls back with a truck filled with love and affection* shit, sorry! My phone glitched and I can't see the names fully! Well, hmm let's change it to any of the Whitebeard Pirates you are familiar with? Jozu or even Whitebeard himself, go wild! *loads all the love and affection and cookies on you*
*swims around in a ball pit of love and affection while munching on a cookie* I'm ok with writing for most of the Whitebeard crew, but you suggested Jozu first, so Jozu it is! Enjoy!
1. His intentions – Eight of pentacles in reverse
No focus – sensitivity – vanity
Something about you draws Jozu closer to you. He’s not quite sure what it is that draws him in, or what he’s hoping to achieve by getting closer to you, but he can’t help himself. This man is head over heels and he can barely focus on anything at all, his mind wandering to you constantly.
2. What attracts him to you – The hermit
Being true to yourself – introspection – solitude
You are unapologetically yourself. You know who you are, you know what you value, and nothing and no one will stop you from following just that. There is no pretending with you under any circumstances. You might prefer to stay away from big crowds as well, or at least limit your time in them, which makes Jozu see you easier. You’re both literally and in a manner of speech, not just a face in the crowd to him.
3. The date – The tower
Outside of the box – sudden change – destruction
Take every single traditional, sappy or cheesy date idea you know. You’ve got them? Throw them overboard. Jozu is not sticking to any of those things. He wants to think out of the box and surprise you. It’s sudden, overwhelming and by the end of the date you probably still don’t know if you liked the date or not. You may even never know.
4. Higher reason/karmic link – King of pentacles in reverse
Losing connection with emotions – threat – coldness
The loss of Whitebeard and Marco hit Jozu hard. He was lost without the familiarity and stability of the Whitebeard pirates, and he needed someone to help pick up the pieces after the funeral. That’s when he met you. You may not have been perfect, but you were all he needed.
5. Hopes and fears – The emperor in reverse
Lack of strength – failure to control – coldness
Jozu had 2 big fears: losing you like he lost Whitebeard and Ace because he’s too weak, or losing himself again to the grief and going back to the coldness that he was radiating when you found him. He wants to go back to the warmth and the happiness he once felt before his world fell apart, and he wants to show you that all the effort you’ve put into him wasn’t for nothing.
6. Advice – Six of wands in reverse
Self-doubt – fear – infinite delay
You are still doubting yourself. Maybe if you’re good enough for this man, maybe if you can help him pick up the pieces, maybe if you can handle him. However, you need not worry about it. The six of wands shows success and victory, and in love it specifically shows good luck and progress. All you need to do is turn this card – and this situation – around.
