Headcanon: They Realize They Have Feelings For You
Characters: Zoro, Law, Ace, and Kid
Roronoa Zoro
Zoro doesn't immediately realize he likes you. At first, he just notices that he feels unusually protective or that he pays extra attention to your movements during battles or on the ship.
He figures it out when someone else flirts with you, and he feels an unexpected flash of irritation. That’s when it clicks: he doesn’t just care about you as a crewmate.
Zoro tries to act normal but ends up being more awkward than usual. He might sit closer to you during meals or offer to spar with you more often, though he won’t admit why.
His way of showing affection is quiet and practical. He might share his sake with you or let you rest against him during downtime. These little things mean more than words to him.
Trafalgar D. Water Law
Law notices his feelings during a quiet moment, like when he watches you interact with the crew or when you’re bandaging his wounds. He’s a logical guy, so he dissects his emotions privately.
At first, he distances himself to analyze his feelings. He’s scared that caring too much for someone could be a weakness, especially in his dangerous world.
Law starts sneaking glances at you during meetings or missions. He tries to be subtle, but anyone who’s paying attention can see the softness in his gaze.
He’s always been protective of his crew, but with you, it’s more personal. He goes out of his way to make sure you’re safe, even if it means risking himself.
Portgas D. Ace
Ace isn’t the type to overthink his emotions. When he realizes he likes you, it hits him like a freight train, and he’s immediately overwhelmed by it.
He becomes even more playful and flirty with you. It’s his way of hiding the fact that his feelings are deeper than just casual interest.
Ace struggles to keep his feelings to himself, so he might accidentally blurt something out. For example, he might call you “cute” in the middle of a fight or while teasing you, only to get flustered afterward.
He shows his affection through gestures, like sharing food, bringing you small gifts, or staying up late to keep you company on watch duty.
Eustass Kid
Kid is stubborn, so he denies his feelings at first. He convinces himself it’s just admiration for your strength or respect for your skills, not anything deeper.
He gets unreasonably annoyed when other people show interest in you or when you seem too close to someone else. His crew quickly catches on, teasing him relentlessly.
Kid isn’t good at being soft, so his way of showing he likes you is through tough love. He might train with you harder than anyone else or give you blunt (but well-meaning) advice.
Despite his gruff exterior, he lets his guard down around you. Maybe you catch him tinkering with something for his ship or find him enjoying a quiet moment, and he doesn’t mind you seeing that side of him.
summary: After a horrible day, you can finally relax in your soft bed, with your not-so-soft boyfriend beside you.
-> based on this request
You were tired. Running around Victoria Punk all day wasn’t easy. You had a horrible day, and you felt like you went on autopilot for a few hours now. Not to mention, all the stress you gathered these past few weeks weren’t helping.
Nobody asked you anything they didn’t need to. Your eyebags were darker than the night, you drank coffee like it was water and just had your first meal of the day— despite it being almost midnight.
The reason of this spectacular day wasn’t anything special. A sea king bit into Victoria Punk’s ass, and it was chaos. Kid was raging, and maybe it was the lack of everything in your body that made you see his face match his hair for a beat, skin almost as red as his flame shaped locks.
The hole was patched and you ate reheated sea king stew or something like that. So, it was okay. Now, the only thing you had to do is to take a bath and finally lay your head on a pillow— or even better, your boyfriend’s chest.
The best lullaby definitely is his determined heartbeat, the steady and strong rhythm. You felt a shiver tingle your heart, the thought alone making your legs want to give out and sleep on the floor of the hallway. Now, you could only hope that he was willing to join you before you fell asleep.
You entered his workshop and saw Kid at his desk. You knew the look he was sporting, he was definitely mad. “Kid?” you asked, but he didn’t look up from his blueprints.
“Hey, I’m gonna take a bath and head to sleep. Wanna join me?” you suggested. He finally raised his head, eyes narrow. “You’re an idiot!” he snapped.
“What?” you furrowed your eyebrows. You usually would just brush of his snippy nature and deal with him patiently. You understood that he’s quick to anger, but right now? You didn’t have the energy to do so.
“Why didn’t you eat anything until damn midnight?! You look like an old hag! I know you drank coffee to fill that starving stomach of yours!” he watched you press your lips in a thin line, before you massaged your temples.
“Yeah, I know. It’s just that today was chaos. Y’know I never skip breaks.” you explained, but he clicked his tongue in that arrogant way, his eyes never leaving your exhausted ones. “I’m gonna take a bath.” you added, turning to the door.
“Damn that bath. You need sleep, woman.” he spoke, heavy steps filling the room as he manhandled you on his shoulder, walking towards your shared room.
“Kid, I stink!” you whined, but let yourself melt on your boyfriend. He was so warm, and so, so cuddly. Who didn’t want a big, hot and caring man to sleep with? Well, Kid isn’t heartless— he is caring in his own, quiet and harsh way.
“Ya can take a bath tomorrow.” he answered, kicking the door open as he placed you down on the bed. He threw your pajamas on your face, as he changed in something more comfortable for you to snuggle up into. No top and some casual trousers.
When you were both changed, Kid sat down and let you cuddle up to him. He flicked his wrist and you heard the metal lock of the door click, you assumed that he didn’t want anyone to disturb you two.
Your sore muscles finally relaxed, ear pressed on Kid’s heart. Like mentioned before, his steady heartbeat soothed your mind, and he calmed you so much despite not doing anything beside just being— and that was more than enough right now.
“Why are you so damn hard on yourself? You’re not a rock— and even a rock breaks under too much pressure.” he laid his heavy palm on your back.
“There are days when I can relax all day, and days like today." you asnwered, earning an eyeroll. “There are 30 freaking people on this ship, you can’t tell me that you weren’t able to take a few minutes to breathe.”
"You're acting like everyone was relaxing while I was the only one who did something. And it wasn't like that— some didn't get a break either." you reasoned, but he scoffed.
"Tomorrow you're having a day off. Dare to lift a finger and you're getting time-out like a spoiled brat." he ordered. You looked up to meet his amber eyes, cocking an eyebrow. "Time-out? What does that even mean?"
"It means you aren't going to do anything until I say otherwise. Obey your captain or suffer the consequences." he said, earning a laugh from you. Even though you knew you shouldn't snicker at his words.
"I don't know if I can enjoy a day off without you. Why don't we both stay in bed and nap all day?" you offered, straddling him. "I can't." he stated.
"Then why should I? Come on, please. It's not the same without my soulmate, my only and favorite man." you pouted, hands resting on his shoulders. "Lay the fuck dow." he pushed you, well, as gently as he could back on the mattres, hooking one of your legs around his waist.
"I'm the captain of this ship. I'm not like that stupid straw-hat monkey, I can't just miss a day because you're bored alone. I'll send crap to entertain you if you want." he began massaging your leg, easing all the tension from sitting on your feet all day.
"Then just say you don't wanna spend time with me." you pouted "How can I relax without knowing what's going on this ship? Are you insane, woman?" he scrunched his eyebrows, confused at your deduction.
"Such a mean boyfriend." you spun on your side, watching the dark night out the small window. Kid stood still for a beat, debating whether to give in and let you have your way or not.
"Screw you." he turned on his side and gripped your hip, pulling you in his chest. "I'll sleep in, then I'm off to do my stuff. That or nothin'." he offered, and you smiled, relaxing.
"Sounds like a good idea. Tomorrow you'll leave the bed late, and the next time you will have a free day with me." your grin deepened, but faltered when you heard a scoff. "As if."
"Y'think you will ever work yourself again like today? I'll personally make sure you aren't going to overwork yourself. Hear me?" he gripped you firmly, spooning you.
"What, you thought I'll pass out or what? I can handle my chores, y'know?" you laughed, turning around a leaving a kiss on his pec. He didn't answer, just let out an annoyed sigh after a long moment. You snuggled into his chest, and he let you get comfortable as slumber began corrupting you.
“I love you.” you said, eyes dripping down. “Thank you for caring.” you continued, pressing a few kisses on his breast around his heart.
“I love you too.”
# a/n - hello guys🫶 it’s been so long since i’ve last entered this damn app, and i’m so sorry for my absence. i’ve been in a really bad place recently, and i needed some time to breathe and sort out my mind. now that i’m back, i’m ready to post some drafts and get back on the right track with everything i can manage. it’s definitely not one of my best works, but i hope y’all enjoy this🤍
Sabaody Archipelago is where pirates running wild, marines scrambling to keep up, and an air of pure anarchy hovering over the island. For most, it’s a place to lay low, but for Eustass Kid and his crew? It’s a playground.
“You call this a challenge?” Kid’s voice booms, echoing across the street. A wrecked marine battleship lies behind him, its parts floating mid-air in a cyclone of metal. He glares at the remaining marines, daring them to make a move “Pathetic. Bring me someone who can actually fight!”
“Captain, you’re so commanding today!” you call out, standing on a pile of rubble nearby. Your hands are full of homemade explosives, and your face is lit up like a child on a sugar high “It’s so hot when you yell at people.”
Kid glances at you, half smirking “Shut it, y/n, and start pulling your weight.”
“Pull my weight?” you pout, tossing one of the grenades into a crowd of panicked marines. The explosion sends them flying, and you beam at Kidd “I’m pulling my weight and yours. You’re welcome, by the way.”
Killer groans from the sidelines, wiping blood off his scythe “Can you two flirt after we’re done here?”
Nearby, the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates are watching from the shadows, having accidentally stumbled upon the chaos.
“Who the hell is that?” Zoro mutters, squinting at you as you blow a kiss toward Kidd mid-explosion.
“She’s with Eustass Kid” Law replies, adjusting his hat with a smirk. “Looks like his kind of crazy.”
“They’re terrifying” Usopp whispers, clutching his slingshot like a lifeline “She’s scarier than him! Did you see her laughing just now?!”
“She’s… kind of adorable” Sanji says, hearts in his eyes “A beautiful woman with a fiery spirit.”
“Fiery spirit?” Nami huffs, crossing her arms “She just threw a grenade at a group of people!”
“She’s like a wild animal” Robin muses, smiling faintly “Completely unpredictable.”
“And completely insane” Franky adds, adjusting his sunglasses. “That’s some SUPER chaos over there.”
"That Kidd is like a monster anyway, we should run and leave" Usopp says trying to convince everyone to move.
Back in the fray, you’re causing a spectacle as usual. A group of marines rushes toward you, and instead of running, you grin and pull out a smoke bomb, throwing it at your feet. When the smoke clears, you’ve vanished, only to reappear seconds later behind Usopp.
“A monster?” you echo, your voice sweet and dangerous, making Usopp jump and hide behind Robin. Then your eyes drift to Kidd, who’s stomping toward a group of bounty hunters with a murderous look on his face “No… He’s perfect.”
They all blink, and Nami takes courage for one sacond to say “Perfect? He’s...he’s a lunatic!” before hiding behind Robin with Usopp.
“Oh, I know” You sigh, clutching your chest dramatically “But don’t worry... I can fix him”
You whisper the last part but somehow Killer could overhear from a few feet away and he doesn’t even hesitate to yell at you “Girl, you’re worse than him!”
The Strawhats and Heart Pirates, except for Law, collectively flinch, while you scratch your head with a shy smile, "don't believe him, he's a just a big liar" But then your smile drops and you start to run towards Killer screming "I'm gonna make him pay!"
“She’s worse?!” Usopp squeaks after you are far enough “Worse than him?!”
“That’s impressive” Robin says, watching you with a mix of amusement and disbelief.
“Disturbing” Nami mutters.
“I like her!” Luffy announces with a laugh.
“Of course you do” Zoro grumbles.
Sanji, meanwhile, is practically swooning “She’s an untamed goddess. A true queen of destruction.”
On the battlefield, you saunter back to Kidd, who just finished throwing a group of marines into the horizon “Captain, I scared away an entire squad! Aren’t you proud of me?”
Kidd snorts but doesn’t hide the smirk tugging at his lips. Instead of answering, he grabs a twisted hunk of metal from the debris and hurls it without looking, nailing a marine who was creeping up behind you. Then, his gaze snaps back to yours, intense and full of something unspoken, “You’re lucky I don’t throw you next.”
“You’d miss me too much” you reply, sticking out your tongue.
Kidd’s smirk widens, and for a second, the battlefield feels miles away. His fingers twitch at his side like he wants to reach for you, but instead, he scoffs and turns away with a huff.
The banter makes the onlookers cringe.
“They’re flirting...” Brook says.
“Flirting?” Franky shudders “That’s what you call flirting?”
“Whatever it is, it’s terrifying” Usopp mutters.
“It’s romantic! It should have been me…” Sanji protests, clasping his hands together.
Meanwhile, Kidd and the rest of his crew decide it’s time to leave before more reinforcements arrive. As they retreat, you blow a kiss toward the Strawhats and Heart Pirates, who are still standing there in the shadows.
“See you around!” you call out, laughing as you skip after Kidd.
Just as you reach him, Kidd grabs your wrist—firm, possessive. He tugs you closer until your bodies almost touch, the heat between you as electrified as the air after one of his attacks.
“Quit messin’ around” he grumbles, but his thumb brushes your skin before he lets go.
You only smirk, eyes glinting. “Admit it. You like it when I do.”
Kidd doesn’t respond, but the way he doesn’t let you stray too far speaks volumes.
“They’re insane” Nami says finally, shaking her head.
“They’re perfect for each other” Robin adds with a small smile.
“Perfectly awful” Zoro mutters.
Sanji sighs, hearts still in his eyes “She’s the woman of my dreams.”
The prison gates of Udon slam shut behind Eustass Kid, and for the first time in a long time, you are completely and utterly… alone.
Killer is missing. The rest of the crew is scattered. And Kidd, your fiery, angry anchor, is gone, dragged away.
The empty wasteland around Udon stretches for miles, but you don’t even notice. You're sitting cross-legged on a large boulder, twirling a dagger between your fingers. Your usual manic grin missing, replaced by a scowl.
You press your tongue against the inside of your cheek, staring at the horizon where Kidd disappeared. He’s stubborn, he’s infuriating, and he’s not supposed to get caught. Not without you.
“Idiots” you mutter, flicking the blade into the dirt “They just had to get caught, didn’t they? Now I’m stuck out here, babysitting myself.”
Your voice echoes in the silence, and for once, you don’t find it funny. The loneliness itches at the edges of your mind, and for a brief moment, your manic energy dims.
Then you hear footsteps crunching through the dirt.
Your head snaps up, and the grin is back instantly, sharp, wild, and unpredictable. You grab your dagger and hop to your feet.
“Who’s there?” you call, your voice lilting with mock sweetness. “Friend? Foe? Someone dumb enough to get too close?”
Out of the shadows steps Sanji.
He freezes mid-step, blinking. For a moment, the two of you just stare at each other.
“Oh,” you say, tilting your head “A pretty boy. What are you doing all the way out here, handsome?”
Sanji’s initial shock fades instantly, replaced by his usual swooning expression “A goddess like you shouldn’t be out here all alone!” he says, bowing dramatically “Allow me to escort you to safety!”
You blink at him, and then, unexpectedly, you laugh. It’s not the sharp, chaotic laugh that usually leaves people unsettled, but something softer, more genuine.
“Safety?” you echo, wiping a tear from your eye “Oh, pretty boy, that’s cute. But I like it out here. No rules, no captain yelling at me to ‘stop blowing things up.’ It’s perfect!”
Sanji straightens, clearly unsure how to handle you “You’re… not scared?”
“Scared?” You smirk, twirling your dagger “Of what? The big scary Beast Pirates? Please. I could handle them in my sleep.”
Sanji scratches the back of his head, glancing around nervously “You’re, uh… not with Kaido, are you?”
The question makes you laugh again, this time the unhinged, unsettling kind “Kaido? Oh, no, no, no. I’m with me. And sometimes I’m with my captain. But right now?” You spread your arms wide, spinning in a slow circle “It’s just little old me against the world.”
Sanji doesn’t know what to make of you. On the one hand, you’re clearly dangerous. On the other hand…
“Little old you, huh?” he says, smirking slightly.
Your grin widens “You catch on quick, pretty boy. What’s your name, anyway?”
“Sanji. Cook of the Straw Hat Pirates.”
“Straw Hat…?” You narrow your eyes, thinking “Oh! You mean that idiot who got himself thrown in prison with my captain?”
Sanji stiffens “Your captain? Wait...how could I forget a beauty like you!! You are part of Kid’s crew!”
“Ding, ding, ding!” you sing, clapping your hands “Give the man a prize!”
Sanji’s instinct is to back away slowly, but before he can, you lean in closer, examining him like a scientist studying a specimen.
“You’re funny” you say, tilting your head “And kinda cute. Maybe if I met you before Kidd, you’d stand a chance.”
Sanji swallows hard. “Uh… Really???? thanks?”
Your smirk falters, just for a moment. You glance toward the prison again, shoulders tensing before you quickly mask it with your usual bravado. But Sanji doesn’t miss the way your fingers tighten around the hilt of your dagger, like it’s the only thing keeping you steady.
“Have you… heard anything about them?” you ask softly, almost too quietly for Sanji to hear “Kid or Killer?”
The question catches him off guard. He’s not sure how to respond to this version of you, the one that isn’t grinning or threatening or tossing explosives.
“I’m not sure” he says finally “But… if they’re as stubborn as you, I’m sure they’re fine.”
You stare at him for a beat too long, and for once, Sanji doesn’t see wild amusement in your eyes but just raw, unspoken worry. Then, just like that, you snap back into place, a smirk tugging at your lips as you punch him lightly on the shoulder.
“Good answer” you say, punching him lightly on the shoulder. “I guess I won’t use you for target practice.”
Sanji smiles nervously, lighting a cigarette “Glad to hear it.”
“Come on,” you say, turning on your heel and motioning for him to follow. “Let’s find somewhere less boring to be.”
“Wait—what?”
“You’re with me now, pretty boy! Let’s make some chaos!”
Sanji sighs, but there’s a small, resigned smile on his face “This is going to be a nightmare, or a dream?”
You glance back at him with a knowing grin, your eyes glinting in the dim light.
“Oh, absolutely” you reply cheerfully, not really answering his question.
Sanji brings you back to the others after realizing you’re a magnet for chaos, and that leaving you alone in Wano might cause more problems for everyone.
When you meet the rest of the Strawhats, their reactions range from mild amusement to outright terror.
“Sanji. Explain” Nami demands, rubbing her temples. “Why did you bring her here?”
Sanji straightens his tie, trying to look nonchalant “Well, my dear Nami-swan, leaving a breathtaking lady like her alone in this dangerous place would be unforgivable!” He clears his throat. “And, uh… she might set something on fire.”
“That crazy one from Kid’s crew?” Zoro’s voice is flat, his hand already on the hilt of his sword. “Are we seriously doing this?”
“She’s not dangerous!” Sanji insists, trying to look calm, though sweat is running down his temple “Well, not to us. Probably.”
“Not dangerous?” Usopp squeaks, hiding behind Nami “Did you see the explosives? She’s definitely dangerous!”
You ignore their bickering, tilting your head as you survey the group. “So you’re the Straw Hats, huh? You don’t look as dumb as your captain.”
“Luffy’s not dumb!” Chopper snaps, puffing up his chest.
“Chopper, don’t provoke her!” Usopp hisses.
You crouch to Chopper’s eye level, grinning “Aww, look at you. You’re adorable. Maybe I won’t blow you up, either.”
Chopper freezes, torn between pride at being called adorable and terror at the implied threat.
“Anyway” Nami cuts in, arms crossed “why are you here, exactly? Shouldn’t you be off with your own crew?”
The question wipes the grin off your face. For a moment, you look almost lost “Kidd got himself thrown in prison, with your Captain” you admit “Killer’s missing. I don't know about the others. I’m the only one left.”
Robin watches you closely, her eyes narrowing in thought “And what about you?” she asks “What’s your plan?”
Your grin returns, sharper than ever. “Oh you're really beautiful! You sure you don’t want to run away with me instead? Anyway I don’t need a plan. I’ll just wing it.”
“That explains a lot,” Zoro mutters.
“Wait, wait, wait” Usopp interrupts, waving his arms “She doesn't seem that bad right now but why is she here? She's still from Kid’s crew? That guy’s a psychopath how can we trust her!”
At that, your entire demeanor shifts. You straighten, your grin turning into a challenging smirk “Careful what you say about my Captain” you warn, your voice low.
“Oh no” Usopp whispers, shrinking behind Franky.
“He’s not wrong, though” Zoro says casually.
You look at him, tilting your head, and then grin wider “Oh, I know. He’s terrible, but he’s my kind of terrible.”
“Wait,” Nami says, holding up a hand “Let me get this straight because I love myself some gossip. He yells constantly, gets into fights every five minutes, and has the worst temper imaginable… and you like him?”
You laugh, twirling a knife in your fingers “Like him? Sweetheart, I’d set the world on fire for him.”
The group collectively recoils.
“She’s insane” Zoro says flatly.
“She’s so romantic” Sanji argues.
“She’s going to kill us all” Usopp wails.
"She's funny" Robin says smiling at her and you smile back.
The group groans collectively, but secretly, some of them are starting to like you. A little. Maybe.
The sun is barely starting to set when you finally find them.
Kidd and Killer, both still recovering from what happened in prison, stand on the outskirts of the battlefield. The war in Wano is about to kick off, and you’re not one to miss a front-row seat to the chaos. The Strawhats and Heart Pirates are already preparing for the inevitable, but you have something else on your mind: your boys.
“Kid! Killer!” you yell, rushing forward, a wild grin spreading across your face.
Kidd looks up first, his cold gaze piercing through the chaos around him. For a second, he just stares, as if making sure you’re really there. When he spots you, his lips twitch upward into an almost imperceptible smirk.
Something in your chest loosens.
“I thought you’d have blown something up by now” Killer remarks, crossing his arms with a smirk that, despite the mask, you can tell is amused.
“Not yet, but I’m working on it!” You hold up your knife, a wicked gleam in your eyes “Wanna make things more interesting?”
Kidd grunts, clearly still in his “don’t give a damn” mood, but there’s an edge of relief in his voice “I see you’re still the same.”
“Of course! What did you expect? I’m not the kind of girl who changes just because of a little alone time.” You flash them a mischievous wink “Besides, I wasn’t really alone”
Killer laughs dryly, clearly not sure whether he should be worried “that’s good”
Kidd’s eyes narrow slightly “What do you mean?”
You smirk, stepping closer, knowing exactly what you’re doing “I made some… interesting friends while you were locked up.”
“Tch.” Kidd scoffs, but there’s something sharp in his gaze. “You’re trouble.”
You lean in just slightly, voice dropping into something more teasing “And you love that about me.”
For once, Kidd doesn’t fire back. He just exhales through his nose, tilting his head at you, eyes dark and unreadable.
You clap Killer on the shoulder, causing him to stiffen “Anyway, let’s get to the good stuff. I can’t wait to see all the destruction.”
At this point, the rest of the group catches up to you, Zoro, Nami, and the rest of the Strawhats, along with the Heart Pirates, have gathered, watching the reunion with a mix of surprise, curiosity, and a little bit of fear.
Nami grins at you “You found them!”
“Of course I did. You didn’t think I’d leave my poor Captain behind, did you?” You turn back to Kid and Killer “These are the Straw Hats. You’re gonna love them. Probably.”
“Love them?” Zoro snorts, rolling his eyes.
“She’s already trying to make us all blow up” Usopp adds, gesturing vaguely to the chaos around you.
“Oh, come on. I’m not that bad.” You wink at Usopp. “Unless you want to make things fun. Then, we can talk about explosions, I saw you use a similar technique anyway”
“You’re insane” Franky says, his robotic eye narrowing at you.
“Well, someone has to be. Might as well be me.” You grin widely.
Luffy suddenly hops forward “Hey, hey! We’re gonna be awesome together! So fun!!”
You nod enthusiastically, your eyes glinting with excitement. “Absolutely” you look at Kid, then back at Luffy “Though, I think your idea of fun might be a little different from mine.”
Zoro, trying to stay focused, huffs “Can we stop with the chit-chat? The war’s about to begin.”
“Right!” You clap your hands, finally taking a step back and getting into the serious mood “Let’s do this. Just remember, I’m not responsible for any ‘accidental’ explosions.”
Kid rolls his eyes but finally speaks up. “Don’t blow me up.”
You place a hand on your chest, feigning innocence “Oh, Kid, you wound me.” Then, after a beat, your voice drops, and you flash him a sly smile “I always make sure you walk away in one piece.”
Kidd doesn’t reply immediately, but his jaw clenches slightly, his smirk lingering just a little too long.
And then, the war begins.
It’s pure chaos from the start. The clash of swords, the explosions, the screams, and the shouts of warriors all around you, it’s the kind of battlefield you thrive in. It’s almost as if the chaos is where you truly come alive.
You find yourself charging headfirst into the fray, with Kidd and Killer close behind. The Strawhats and Heart Pirates are close by, taking on their own foes. You’re all part of the same fight now. There’s an undeniable bond forming between you and your new allies.
As you duck beneath a swing of a blade, you roll to the side, barely avoiding being cleaved in two. You throw a knife, hitting the enemy square in the chest, and grin as they fall to the ground.
“Oh, you’re all so predictable.” You say, practically skipping over their bodies. “You’ve got to mix it up more, or this’ll be over too quickly.”
Your laughter rings out, and in the midst of the battle, your eyes lock with Kidd’s for a split second. His lip curls into a smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes, but something shifts in the air between you two. You feel a spark.
Robin, on the other side of the battlefield, has been watching you, her calm demeanor contrasting yours. She tilts her head thoughtfully and smirks.
You throw a playful wink her way.
Zoro is the next to speak, though his tone is oddly respectful. “You’re… not the worst, I guess. I mean, you seem perfect for him—chaotic, dangerous, and a little insane. Maybe more than a little.”
You laugh, twirling another knife in your hand. “You have no idea, sweetheart. But we make it work.” You glance over to Kidd, who’s taking down a group of enemies with brutal efficiency. “He’s like a wild storm, and I’m the lightning that follows him.”
You throw a glance at Kidd, and for just a moment, the two of you share a silent, knowing look—a fleeting exchange that’s heavier than it seems.
Killer, walking beside you, shakes his head in amusement “I'm actually impressed by this metaphor, it's perfect”
“You know I'm smart” you say with a grin, your voice a mix of affection and madness “Hey, if we survive this, maybe we can all have a drink after. I like the strawhats”
“Just don’t blow the bar up” Kidd grumbles, his eyes narrowing at you.
“Promises, promises” you sing back, dodging another strike and lunging forward with a wild, chaotic laugh. “Come on, guys! Let’s make sure we leave our mark on Wano!”
The battle rages on, but you and Kidd seem to gravitate toward each other. A few more waves of enemies fall under your combined onslaught. Every time you find yourself near him, his eyes catch yours, a brief, almost tender moment between the chaos.
As the last of the forces retreat and the dust settles, you stand side by side, both covered in sweat and grime, but your smiles say it all.
You turn to Kidd, eyes glinting mischievously “Well, we did it. I guess you could say we’re... unstoppable together.”
He looks at you, a rare smirk tugging at his lips. His voice is quieter now, softer than it’s been all day “You’re more trouble than you’re worth... but yeah. Maybe we are.”
Without warning, you step closer, your heart pounding as your fingers brush against his arm. Kidd doesn’t step back. Instead, he leans in just enough that the distance between you is minimal, your breath mingling. The battlefield seems to disappear, leaving only the two of you in the midst of a storm of emotions.
“You know,” you whisper, “I think I’m starting to like you even more than the explosions.”
Kidd’s eyes narrow, but there's something different in his gaze now. “Then you’ll love this,” he mutters, and before you can say another word, his lips crash against yours.
For a moment, everything else fades. The noise of the battle, the world around you—it’s all gone. The kiss is fierce, hungry, as though it’s been a long time coming, and the chaos of the battlefield now feels like a distant memory.
When he pulls away, both of you are breathless.
“Never a dull moment with you,” he says with a smirk.

————————
Kid flaunts his metal arm and scars like a badge of honour and constant symbol of his power and ability to endure and win. It shows anyone on the Grand Line and all those back towards where he started his journey how far he’d come. How strong he was and only getting stronger and fiercer, deserving of any rising bounty he’s given. He’s one of the Supernovas, the worst generation and he refuses to show weakness. However by refusing to admit his struggles bring a new challenge for the crew. They’re all well equipped to deal with Kid’s usual brusque and aggressive personality because they know when it’s just Kid being Kid or when it’s Kid in pain and hiding it. When he’s in pain? That’s when they’re out of their depth.
If they dared to confront him or imply he’s struggling with his old wounds he’d either punch them in the face and throw them in the ocean or he’d only get even more aggressive and defensive. Patience isn’t a strong suit in most of the crew, which leaves the task of dealing with Kid to Killer and you. While you were a new addition to the crew, your role as the ship’s doctor had been godsend. When you heard the telltale roar of frustration and slamming of metal against the wall from the workshop you sighed and rose from your spot on the table in the kitchen. Lightly you tapped Killer’s shoulder. “I’ve got him.”
With careful steps you made your way to the workshop and knocked once before sliding the door open. You were able to side step Kid’s boot as it was thrown towards you. Blinking in surprise at the shoe on the floor you slowly looked towards your Captain. Your head tilted slightly and regarded Kid who was taking slow, haggard breaths. With a sigh you scooped the boot off of the ground and stepped into the workshop, closing the door behind you. “What’s the problem, Kid?”
“I’m fine.” Kid growled and his eyes narrowed slightly when a satisfied smirk twitched at your lips.
“Didn’t ask what was wrong with you. I meant what was wrong in here to make you lash out.” You explained stepping closer and Kid tensed, knowing you’d already caught him. “Is there an issue with you that I should know about?”
“I’m fine.” Kid’s voice emphasised the repeated lie, still not ready to admit he was struggling to cope with the pain in what remained of his arm and through his shoulder. “Am I needed for something?”
“Nope.” You hummed and dropped Kid’s boot down on the floor, just out of arms reach. “Put your boot back on before you get hurt. Make sure to tie the laces.” Kid turned in his seat to glare at you, his eyes untrusting. He hated you coming to him, your methods of getting him to lower his guard. Why couldn’t it have just been Killer? Under his fierce glare you refused to shrink away, as fierce as your Captain was, your concern for him won out over any other emotion you felt. Deliberately you dropped your gaze to the still untouched shoe and returned your challenging stare to Kid. It was clear you weren’t going to leave until he did as you wished.
Muttering under his breath, Kid stooped down and snatched the boot, pulling it on and tightly grabbing the laces to begin tying them only to jolt when your fingers lightly pressed into the offending shoulder blade. A growl of pain built in Kid’s chest and he managed to choke out the urge to yell and swear at you. “You don’t need to say anything Captain. Saying nothing means you’re not admitting to any weakness you think you have. Just nod when I’m where hurts the most.”
Kid glared down at the ground, caught so easily by you and your keen instinct. With a small sigh he slowly straightened up in his seat and nodded. He ground his teeth together and nodded each time your fingers pinpointed the areas dealing him the worst pain. When your assessment was almost over you lightly tapped his metal arm, an unspoken request for him to remove it. With a click of his teeth Kid used his ability to make his arm drop loudly to the floor.
Your fingers lightly pressed against the stump and Kid hissed sharply, instinctively pulling away but forced himself to stay in his seat. With a shaky breath he nodded hard and you knew to start there first. Slowly you worked your fingers into the scarred and tense tissue, letting the heat of your hands and precise movements begin to alleviate the source of Kid’s pain. A low groan of relief slipped out of Kid’s mouth and a small, smug hum slipped through yours. Kid’s eye cracked open and he scowled at you. “Gloating doesn’t suit you, Doc.”
“Gloating implies I’m doing something to be proud of. However since I’m not doing something because you insist nothing’s wrong then I can’t be accused of gloating can I?”
“You’re far too smart for your own good you know that?” Kid grumbled, leaning more into your touch as his eyes slipped closed once more. You were also far too good at easing the pain and tension he’d been trying to ignore. Outside of these moments that you treated him, there was always a fun give and take between you both but still refusing to step beyond that line of Captain and crew and into a real conversation of feelings. With every spike of pain that your commanded and controlled out of his body, the more he relaxed and felt his mind calm, pulling him into an almost trancelike state. “Thanks Doc…love you.”
Kid hadn’t realised the words that slipped out until your fingers paused in their movements. For a moment Kid frowned that you’d stopped and blinked as his mind caught up with itself and then he was hit with his statement. His head whipped over to stare at you with widened almost panicked eyes. Your lips were parted and your eyes held their own guarded panic, your expression was almost disbelieving, uncertain that you’d heard him right. “I-I-I mean…”
“Relax Captain…” You broke the tension with a soft smile, trying to keep your voice light and teasing. You took a small step back and lifted your hands. “My hands are magic, too powerful for their own good. Love spell’s over.”
“Heh, yeah…you’ll have to be careful with them. Dangerous.” Kid returned your smile with his own half smirk, lifting his own hand to experimentally press against his stump, finding he could move so much better now and his mood was lifted, apart from the embarrassment gnawing at him. Swallowing hard he made his metal arm lift from the floor and rejoin against his stump. “Thanks again.”
“Anytime.” You smiled, quickly leaning in to press a small kiss against his cheek. “I mean it, anytime.” Kid watched you leave with a softened gaze and quickly turned in his seat to return to his worktable. With every passing day you were on this ship, you were getting faster at making him lower his defences and your gaze was getting sharper at seeing that which he hid so well. With his slip up today, it was only a matter of time before you got a full confession of his feelings out of him. Just not yet though, but soon.
