I read your rules and i don’t know if you’ll be interested in a luffy fic? I have this idea of luffy being somewhat protective over their partner and would go mad when someone hurts them during missions
.✦ ݁˖ note: The graphic description of the injury is pretty minor, established relationship
.✦ ݁˖ summary: While shopping for food with Sanji, and Luffy, a gang of bounty hunters attempt to attack. When one of them hurts you, Luffy takes matters into his own hands and protects you!

After Luffy had miraculously guessed the code to unlock the fridge, Sanji’s rage served as a sign that the crew would be docking on the nearest island to stock up on food.
The market’s noise was deafening, as crowds could be seen in every stall. You were hoping that none of you would be noticed by anyone. Most people would talk crazy rumors about your crew, especially about Luffy, so being recognized so easily was hopefully out of the cards.
Walking beside Luffy, both he and Sanji were enamored by the wide variety of food, and ingredients that made up the market. Nami, and Robin were elsewhere shopping for clothes, while the rest of the crew had stayed behind to watch over The Sunny.
Your food sight-seeing trip with them didn’t last long though. Grunts and screams seemed to be coming from the crowd ahead of you guys, as people were being pushed to the side by what seemed to be a gang of bounty hunters, one of them holding all 3 of your posters in his hands. The crowd started to clear up after people realized that a fight was about to take place.
“Hey, watch over the food, will ya?” Luffy said, dropping his bags of food near you. Sanji on the other hand, didn’t want to give you “the burden” of protecting them, and fought still holding them. You were capable of fighting on your own, but the group of men appeared scrawny against your captain, and cook, so you decided to leave it in their hands.
In a couple kicks, and punches, most of the men were sent flying. You noticed a particularly swift one run past the pair, and try to get to… you.
Before even being able to pull out your weapon, cold steel pierced through your stomach, as you fell to your knees, wincing at the excruciating pain. You tried standing up, while taking out your weapon to counterattack, but even subtle movements caused the pain to worsen. The guy had taken out his knife from you, and from your peripheral vision, you could see Sanji and Luffy running towards you.
The guy prepared to strike you once more, as you prepared for the pain…
Though, the swish of the knife had failed to reach you, as it clashed against Luffy’s armament haki coated arm instead.
Before the guy could even respond, Luffy sent him flying across the market with one, singular punch. The impact echoed throughout the entire market, silencing the panicked shrieks of the people.
Luffy has never thought you were incapable. He lets you fight because he knows you’re strong. Even when you get hurt, or injured, you always find a way to get back up on your feet. He trusts that you’ll survive, and come back every time.
That doesn’t mean he likes seeing you bleeding.
He gets restless when you’re in pain. He wants to beat up the punk that hurt you, even though he knows you already did.
When you’re severely injured, and Chopper says getting out of bed is no option, he takes it upon himself to eat wherever you’re resting instead, because he claims that food tastes different when you’re not around.
He knows it’s inevitable, but as much as possible, he’d never want to see you get hurt while he’s around.
No one is allowed to hurt you like that for as long as he’s here.
Sanji ran as fast as he could. Before anything else, Sanji tried to pick you up to carry you to The Sunny, but before he could even lay a hand on you, Luffy rushed in, and scooped you into his arms. He was a bit rough with it, but it’s clear he was worried, as he rushed to The Sunny.
His arms are safe, and warm. Relaxing into them, you feel all the tension you had earlier disperse.
“You alright?” He asked.
“M’ fine.” You managed to utter, but the pain stops you from being able to say anything properly.
He pouted.
“I don’t like it when people hurt you.” He said. You know he doesn’t see it, but you smile softly.
“I’ll punch the crap out of anyone who does.” He continued, his voice turning more serious.
After a couple beats of silence, his expression brightened almost instantly.
“Hey, after Chopper fixes you up, you wanna ask Sanji to cook a bunch of meat?” He asked, tone lightening.
“Luffy… I got stabbed in the stomach. Meat might be a bad option for me.” You said, as he looked at you as if you just said the sky was green.
“What? No way! Meat is always a good option.”
“I don’t think I’d be able to stomach it properly, Luffy.” You say, chuckling.
He frowned, thinking for about 3 seconds, then his eyes lit up.
“I’ll just eat your meat for you. Great idea, huh?” He looks at you, grinning widely.
You laugh, then come to a pause as the pain returns sharply.
